_{𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍 :         salvation tonight is feeling the familiar cotton of his bed sheets and the even more familiar arms guiding him ;  knees clumsily hitting the edge of his bed when his own palms finally support himself seconds before his face hits the pillow .   remy wants to apologize for the redundancy of it all ,   maybe even offer to compensate for the half tank of gas that’s probably been blown through .   (  heaven forbid it’s anything knowingly sentimental . )  but the words dissolve before they’ve even got the chance to offer and the weight of liquor presses against the front of his throat to utter   ─   ‘ i love you . ’  a relieved weak laugh follows ,  body turning to press his back against the mattress in hopes the world finally stop’s spinning .} 

_{her expression is tired as their routine , worn out from treading the fine line of caring much too much and too little with him . it’s apparent she’s made no progress in convincing him that she’s done with this ;  can’t –– won’t do it anymore . when every time is the “ last time ” yet she’s consistently back to save him it does nothing to condition him to be without her . maybe a part of her knows it . maybe that’s the real reason she’s here now , inhaling deep and looking away to no particular point as he settles. prepared to double over and tuck him in whenever he’s ready , but the traditional regimen is broken with the words that leave his mouth .}

_{‘ hm ? ’ odd . she doesn’t bother to worry herself with what it’d almost sounded like he’s just said . eyebrows lowered in peculiarity , lips falling into a little frown , goldie adjusts the duvet to blanket over his body . ‘ need to drink your water n’ sleep , remy. ’ she sighs , entertaining the opportunity to walk out the door ‘til perpetual kindness forces her down to kneel beside the bed instead . hand comes up to push some strands of hair from his face per habit and her mind wrestles with the thought of dwelling on the words he’d spoken .}

reasons it’s okay to unfollow someone on tumblr:

• they make you uncomfortable
• they interact with someone you’re uncomfortable with
  
• you’ve lost interest in their content
• you want to.
  

reasons it’s okay to try and guilt people for unfollowing you:

• there are none.

nobody has to follow you,   they can stop at any point if that will make them more comfortable or their hobby more enjoyable.   people do not owe you continuing to follow your blog or an explanation if they choose to stop for whatever personal reason they may have  (especially if you’re only passing acquaintances but even if you’re friends).   i could be sad and confused about someone unfollowing / soft-blocking me,   and that doesn’t mean they’ve done anything wrong or owe me a reason to justify their choice.   you’re never obliged to interact with me,  and it would never be okay for me to coerce you into it.   as a community we preach self care and treating people with respect but then try to interfere with or punish people for taking care of themselves.

feel free to reblog this if you don’t believe in making people feel obligated to follow you,   and,   you genuinely support people keeping their dashes comfortable and fun for themselves,   even if that sometimes means not having you on it.
