⚜️ please let her learn you a thing she's dying

[lilyberation]

Hello, this is White Lily Cookie.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but as of late, I've noticed quite a few people have difficulties with spelling and writing. If you're interested, I'd be willing to help anyone practice? With no pressure of course!

And if you really need an excuse, it would give me something to do in our downtime while we try to figure things out.

[he feels like this is pointed DIRECTLY AT HIM and if it was anyone else, he would go rabid wolf mode on their ass, but because it's lily...............]

[lilyberation]

I'm sorry

[moonwhispers]

[ he also feels incredibly called out by this.... he didn't think it was that bad... ]

I've been practicing...

[lilyberation]

And I'm really proud of you! I'm just offering help, if you want. I'll never force anything like this, I promise.

[bluebasketballed]

[‼️]

NO I'M SORREY wen do we start ime reddy miss wite lily mam

[lilyberation]

Oh

Well

We could start this evening? I just need to prepare some things!

[bluebasketballed]

yes yes can i help with that part at all

[lilyberation]

Let me think...

We can go to the dining room for this. I want you to be comfortable, so bring things that will be cozy! Like sweaters or cushions. I'm going to set up practice sheets, but if there's other things you're interested in too, I'd be happy to try!

[......................... he's about to make her so sad --]

wats 'cozy"

[lilyberation]

Something that evokes warmth and contentedness, be it physical or emotional.


Note to self, I'm getting you a cozy blanket now.

[bluebasketballed]

uh

how do i bring a feeling with me??

[lilyberation]

With something that makes you feel that way.

Don't overthink it too much, it's okay if you can't think of anything that might do that right now. That's what we in the Grove are for. :)

[bluebasketballed]

[... hm...]

alrite, i can do that

[lilyberation]

Mostly I want you to be comfortable because this won't be easy. And I don't want that to discourage you.

[bluebasketballed]

I don't believe in punishment for trying. Even if you can withstand it, I don't think I'd be very good at it in general.

I've never tried teaching before, but I do want to help though. So we'll find a way that works for both of us, together.

approximately 2 seconds afterward he scrawls that out with so much force it kinda just rips up his netbook and uh. leaves the text intact for everyone else on planet grove.]

1/?

[lilyberation]

( he called her mom )

2/?

[lilyberation]

( he called her mom- )

3/? (cw self loathing)

[lilyberation]

( would she even be a good mom? she's flaky and flighty and struggles to connect to people, struggles to show her love and to accept it, she's damned the entire world back home, she's weak and pathetic- )

4/?

[lilyberation]

( why does the grove even love her so? she's tried to be on her best behavior and yet she keeps failing- she's not enough, and now she's helpless- )

5/?

[lilyberation]

( and yet

she is.

she is and she loves the people here in turn.

...

he called her mom... )

FIN

[lilyberation]

I don't know if you'll see this but

it's okay.

I'd be proud to be your mother.

[it remains to be seen whether or not the rest of the page this is written on is salvageable for akaza. maybe he misses it, maybe he's pretending for his own sanity that he never sees it...

as soon as even 4pm hits, he makes his way to the dining room. this is more afternoon than evening, but this is serious business and he gave his word. if lily is already here, she gets to see him carefully avoid dragging a gi that is three sizes too large on him along the ground. if not, she'll find him sitting still as stone and ready to lock it the fuck in. either way, as soon as they make eye contact, his stupid face turns as pink as his stupid hair.

yeah, he definitely saw.]
