And when you're friends with a demon, they'll just say your feelings are wrong and you're cruel for bringing it up bc you're supposed to just keep it to yourself and center their comfort 🤡
“communication is key” but no one talks about how scary real communication is. it’s not cute texts and long calls. it’s “here’s where you hurt me here’s what I need here’s what I’m afraid to say” it’s
swallowing pride risking rejection, choosing honesty over comfort.
people lack accountability, then be like “you could've just talked to me”. no, i couldn't. you don't listen. you deflect. you gaslight. you make me feel like i'm the problem for bringing it up. so no, i stayed silent to protect my peace, not because i didn't want to fix.
@beefdogcoffee When I'm writing a scene and it just isn't working according to plan, I've learned that it's usually bc things are going too smoothly and there needs to be some tension, so I break the scene a little. Change the weather, make the conversation go wrong, just tweak something
