am I supposed to be the one who always starts the conversations? I mean yeah, he's busy and he has other things and people he needs to worry about but when I always start the convos, it feels like I'm needy. I mean, he does text me once in a while on my birthdays and stuff but that's mostly it. I don't want to shame him for being an absent dad and I don't want to shame him for having another family and I'm not trying to act clingy and stuff but is it wrong to feel this way? I mean, he already doesn't speak to my older brother most of the time and I'm his oldest daughter, I feel like once I turn 18 he's not gonna want to even talk to me anymore.
          	
          	is this wrong? am I being too clingy?

@totantirft ┆ as someone who’s had to ask myself this question about several family members, you’re 100% not in the wrong. People who care make it work. People who care try. They’re curious. They update. They WANT to know. Having another family/life doesn’t excuse the fact that you’re only relevant on holidays/birthdays. I’m sorry that you even have to wonder this lovely <3 I’d REALLY recommend talking to him because you’ll either get the truth, things will change, or you’ll get more radio silence and that will be your answer.

I put hold them down in a playlist for my book and showed it to my friend. at first, I thought it was just a song for the main villain, but when my friend listened to it, he said that it was a great representation of the war from the book now I can't stop thinking about it

one of my friends started reading my book and he immediately started talking about different names for the main kingdom and he even told me he didn't trust the MC's dad cause he just gave off antagonist vibes to him. it was just hilarious. having someone read my books and actually get invested and excited over it is just everything!.

there is an obvious difference between Thunder Bringer in terms of inappropriate topics. in Thunder Bringer it's metaphorical while in Hold Them Down it's literal.
          
          when Zeus is saying "pride is a damsel in distress, hiding away where only I can undress her." he's talking about since Pride is so helpless that you need someone above you--like Zeus to help you get out of that hubris. (though it's obvious he's talking about something else, I assume that is what he's implying)
          
          while with Antinous he's stating it fully and literally. I'm not saying the words out of respect and because they are just concerning as hell but he's talking about literally taking Penelope. 
          
          that's the reason why people seem to be more comfortable when listening to Thunder Bringer rather than Hold Them Down.
          
          I know people might have already known that, but I thought about this since Thunder Bringer and I want to get it out somehow.

I really love how with fanfictions they're really easy cause you already have the premise and everything so you just have to copy and/or go through said premise and just make your own work from there.
          
          but with actual writing you have to research, outline, brain dump, plan out everything and that's even before the actual writing process starts 'cause you do not want your writing to sound like you wrote it while being held at gunpoint (looks and sounds sloppy) or being close to a copy of a more popular book.
          
          I am not hating on fanfic. I write fanfic and I love it. I'm just saying that writing fanfic is was easier than writing actual original projects.
          
          now that that's out of the way, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. you've been a wonderful group. thank you!

            Yeah, I can relate, and I'm glad you're not having to deal with any negative crap. <333
            
            It's been a pretty good day so far, and I've been making some more progress on a few of my books, which I'm proud of. <3333

There needs to be a law, if it’s under a certain temperature everything has to close.
