End-of-Summer Therapy

[bitten_notshy]

Classes start in a week, so, Fandom, how was your summer? Did you get a tan? Fall in love? Are you still hoping to do one or both of those things before Labor Day?

Any lingering summer trauma, including the omg-island-of-vampires kind? Share. We love it when you share.

OMG I am GOTH I do not tan kthnx.

I fell in love, or at least I thought I did, but it was a mistake. I do not think I will be repeating it.

[bitten_notshy]

You'll never be in love again?

Why not?

[bitchprince]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

...some parts were harsher than others. Many were excrutiatingly confusing. I would still like to be home.

[puppy_fair]

I seem to have managed, somehow, to continually fail at dating since I got here!

BUT I WILL NOT BE DETERRED.

Plus there is some serious trauma but I hide it well so we ignore that please.

[bitten_notshy]

But you got laid on the island of vampires! Doesn't that count, kind of? Or is that more trauma?

[feline-royalty.livejournal.com]

GINGERS.

[bitten_notshy]

Yes, well, a lot of us would rather be home. It's a matter of marking time and making it useful for another nine months until we can.

Were any of the confusing parts almost acceptable?

[puppy_fair]

Oh, no way! That part was awesome!

But now it's all weird and awkward between me and the her from over here, you know? They're totally the same person, except for how they so, so aren't.

GO SLEEP WITH YOUR AUNT, CAPULET.

Romeo is vaguely terrified at himself that he felt the need to say this, what with the tendering Tybalt's name as dearly as his own and la.

[trigons_child]

Because once you've been had by Chuck Bass it can only go downhill from there?

I am unskilled with experiencing and expressing my emotions, and I think love is too powerful of one for me to enjoy.

[bitchprince]

You mean in between braining myself and imploring the universe about how I'm awesome enough for this not to be on?

I suppose.

[endsthegame]

Beyond the part where I turned into a blood-drinking creature of the night and reminded myself of past trauma before killing myself and granting my two closest friends extra trauma?

My sister's here. She's the most beautiful person I've ever known. That makes up for a lot. And there's, at last, work to be done.

[bitten_notshy]

I can see where that would be on the awkward side. "Hello, a different you deflowered a different me in an alternate universe, shall we go get a drink sometime?"

AUNT BY MARRIAGE, NOT BY BLOOD, MONTAGUE.

At least Tybalt knows nothing of that part, yet! Could get messy.

[bitten_notshy]

It is strong stuff.

What about friendship and fondness? I only love one person, but I like plenty of them naked.

I've had a pretty trauma free summer, minus those first couple of days when I was shocked by Peter being here, young, alive and involved with a guy.

Then again, I don't know much about what my AU self was up to minus gardening.

[puppy_fair]

.... I so, so can't tell her that part!

I keep thinking about her boobs. They're almost on eye-level, when she's green.

[bitten_notshy]

... yes, Ender, besides that first thing, since it's the kind of awful I can't begin to address. (If it helps, I'm sorry.)

Your sister is wonderful. I know you know that, it just needs to be said.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Drugged my whole cabin, corrupted a young girl, got my ass kicked a few times. The usual.

I also started going to church. Which is weird.

And I didn't tan. I wear shirts to the beach.

[withoutverona]

Aunt by marriage only, yet she is the mother of your cousin as well as a slattern. Still, it's nice to know your morals make you stop at adultery, and short of true incest.

[endsthegame]

It happens. I suppose a therapist would have a field day with that answer, but it's the truth.

She is. I'm hoping this isn't the time she leaves me, yet.

[trigons_child]

Oh, yes, I am learning friendship. I have come to care for several people since I arrived here, and met others whose company I have enjoyed as well but none of them naked omg.

[feline-royalty.livejournal.com]

And shall I speak of thine own morals, Montague? While I've not yet experienced so much of what I have to hold against thee, I might venture to say that any man who boldly ventures uninvited into the house of his enemy only to make away with his enemy's daughter need not be lecturing the likes of me about morals.

[bitten_notshy]

Trauma-free summers might be said to be the best kind.

Would you really like to know what your AU self did, or is ignorance bliss? (I don't know; I ask from academic interest only.)

[bitten_notshy]

Mmmm. I know I don't know you well, but you don't strike me as the church type.
