“Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today’s version of “seize him” imo

there are a lot of people on this website who are incredibly, flamboyantly wrong about things, but theyre also like……clearly in gigantic amounts of pain, and arguing with them on the internet isnt going to change the situation of either their wrongness or their pain

i do think we need to start treating spraying harmless "weeds" in your lawn as utterly absurd princess and the pea level of obsession with needing the world to revolve around your every whim, like.
Okay a flower grew out of the ground outside and you can't cope with it. Do you need to sleep on thirty feather beds as well

my favorite thing about Corporal Carrot is that he’s a romantic hero plopped right in the middle of the greediest cesspit of a chaotic neutral city ever to debase the pages of literature, and yet instead of having his shining idealism destroyed by an uncaring reality, he makes reality embarrassedly put down the weapons and agree to make nice, and then mutter an awkward “Good morning” whenever it passes him on the street.

hi. at some point, i used tumblr for social media. in recent months, however, i've essentially only had the time to check in regarding this situation. it's ongoing, and i'm doing my best to navigate it somewhat gracefully for the sake of my two babies.
if you're able and willing to help spread awareness of this situation- whether through churches, charities, women's centers, dv survivor resources, or other channels- it could make a significant difference. even without financial contribution to the fundraiser link- which i 10000% do NOT expect of everybody,) i believe one major reason this abuse is being enabled by the court is the lack of attention and accountability for the gross malpractice happening.
all that said, if you have any means of drawing attention to this story, it would be incredibly valuable and deeply appreciated.
these recent months, i've been very isolated, focusing intensely on addressing these issues, my messages have piled up as a result. really cannot apologize enough for that. i promise if you have sent me a message that has gone unanswered for an extended period of time, it is not for lack of gratitude for your reaching out, or for simply ignoring your messages. i truly am to my neck in this issue. despite my poor response time, i'm still open to any questions/other messages anybody may have about the situation.
thank you for your prayers, your support, and for taking your time to read this. i hope to have a positive update for you soon enough. (and then, ideally, no heavy updates ever again. my ultimate goal is to ensure the return of my toddler-age son, as well as the safety of both my toddler-age son and my youngest baby. from there, i fully intend to live a quiet life. and to go back to using tumblr as a place for memes rather than as a plea for help.)
#this is a friend of mine#for whom i have done many hours of research but i just genuinely do not have enough clout anywhere to make the Situation known#from what i know it looks a LOT like prosecution/plaintiffs bought the judge#bc FL has elected judges at th district court level

It really is crazy how if you mention you write fanfiction with people outside fandom, they're always like "you should change the names and try to sell it." It misses the point (fun), but more importantly to me, I get slightly (and I know irrationally) insulted on a craft letter. Excuse me, my fanfic is entwined with the canon, thank you very much. I wish sometimes less entwined. You wouldn't believe the stupid bullshit some of my fics have to include because of canon.

Actually, I know damn well Darcy never sat down and thought about marrying Lizzie. If he had, it would have been a week before he was rounding up Bingley, sitting him down, and looking him in the eye like he was about to propose high treason and going, "Jane. You still down bad for her?"
Coin toss whether Bingley would actually get to answer before Darcy turned around and flipped over a whiteboard like

and launched right into the most detailed migration pattern known to Regency England to keep the extraneous Bennets as contained as humanly possible by rotating them between various Bingley/Darcy estates. Like, we're talking about trading them off for minor holidays a decade out kind of detailed.
"If you and Jane take them for Lady Day ten years hence, Elizabeth and I will take them for Michaelmas. We'll all be together for Christmas and Midsummer, so we'll divide the responsibility individually on those days."
This would be followed by thirteen different spreadsheets projecting joint expenditures so Bingley knows what sort of financial commitment he'll be shouldering and how to minimize it, what proportion Darcy will take care of, what the estate plans are in case Darcy predeceases anybody, when they should probably roll out various stages to keep it from affecting their respective sisters' ability to maximize their own husband-hunting--whole nine yards.
Darcy does not know that he'll probably be murdered when the Bingley sisters find out why he asked for their social calendars. He'd be marginally fine with that at this point, because the fucking Napoleonic War campaigns were not as meticulously planned as his roadmap to getting the other three Bennets satisfactorily married, and Darcy feels about as able as if he'd spent the last year on Elba.
It takes Bingley a few minutes to realize why this is happening, then he's like
"You proposed to Elizabeth?! Congratulations!"
Darcy... knew there was something he was forgetting.
That man would have kicked the Collins's door open with four binders tucked under each arm, dumped them in a pile in front of Elizabeth, and loudly announced that if they get married tomorrow he can have her entire family except for Jane extraordinary renditioned to the Scottish moors by Sunday and then been like
"Why are you yelling at me?! I promise you, it will work! You'll never see anyone in your family except for Jane again, I swear it!" when she starts yelling at him.

Whenever my aunt springs her insane superstitious/religious cures on me I specifically remember when I was 17 and she got me exorcised. The priest was like "I don't think she's possessed" and she insisted "well there's something wrong with her, she's always [symptoms of depression] so..."
And the guy said some verses and touched my head and stuff then said I should drink only holy water for an entire week. Which wasn't hard to do, but my fav part of this whole experience was me saying I want to eat instant noodles and my aunt going "I'll make them for you. With the holy water he gave us." And then I had holy instant noodles
#apparently the orthodox do actually sip holy water with some frequency whixh was a little surprising to me but also fascinating#but this sounds like THE most “make this crazy lady leave this depressed teenager alone” placebo cure wow
