#5 Tomatoes are good but you gotta know what you're doing with them

[tonysaintborgi]

Feel free to respond tomorrow, I just don't wanna forget so I'm sending now!

I've tried products like that before but I'm not sure they work for me personally. To give a little insight into my particular flavor of ocd, I tier things into different categories of "dirty" and I cannot cross contaminate something cleaner with something dirtier, and it's hard for me to keep something like that in the clean category. I'm not sure why, maybe texture? My regular lotion is also hard and I have special protocols for it.

Tbh these loops come and go and I've never been sure how to break them. This one was triggered but they usually kinda just happen randomly

ough. well, again, perhaps this advice isn't as good as it could be, but after brainstorming I can think of a few ideas.

first, dr. bronners. i know, again, a product. and a soap at that! but here's what I Know: the secrets of life and love CAN be found on that label manifesto and if there was such a thing as a magic elixir it's bronners soap. every time I've had a skin irritation or anything, it really feels like bronners helps. put like a tablespoon of bronners into a squirtbottle and fill the rest with water and you'll have a perfect all purpose cleaner that you can smell. it certainly makes ME feel like things are just generally cleaner. again, this one may actually be bad advice for you, but I'm just throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick - and if they don't stick to the wall, at least, i got a reccomendation on what to use to clean that wall...

secondly, fight your impulses and brainrules with other impulses or brainrules. like that one post says, sometimes you gotta get a little ill to get well. make new rules! like "gross things cannot contaminate me without direct prolonged contact if I'm listening to the crisp clean sounds of Casiopea" - sure, it sounds stupid, but it may just work. and having to listen to Mint Jams when you wash your hands may sound annoying, but I'm assuming it's probably at worst an even trade-off for how annoying your brain is right now. and brains just fucking LOVE patterns like that. just keep telling it the smooth and crisp fusion vibes are part of cleanliness and they enhance the experience and fuckin... it might just eat it up!

third, a cleansing spell. mostly for the same reason as above. tell your brain you've not only physically cleaned the area but by lighting a few vibes candles and a temple incense you've also spiritually purified the area. help it feel like you're going above and beyond cleaning to scratch the itch(?).

equally, you could always purposefully go out of your way to make the area dirty, then clean it, to satisfy the need for cleanliness. again, scratching the itch. brain says that place is dirty even though logically it isn't? and cleaning a clean thing does fuck all. so maybe it's time to say, accidentally spill a can of tomato sauce or something and clean it up, showing brain that yeah dude the place IS clean

final idea, and perhaps the most hail mary remedial idea i can think of, is the Fast Tigers thing. squat/lay down (I'm assuming squatting is probably better in this situation) and tighten all of your muscles all over your body and hold for 5-10 seconds then release the tension. chemically tells your brain to chill.

again, idk how many of these will do you good, if any... i mean, I hope so! I hope something helps. I'll keep thinking, see if i can come up with anything. i haven't gotten stoned yet today so maybe something will come to me once I'm baked

Team 7 + Gaara with a intimidating but soft crush

Ok so this is obviously what it says it is, but I believe kakashi is part of team 7 and you all can't stop me. He's also one of my favorite characters but Gaara is definitely in the top three.

---------------------------------------

Kakashi

Your appearance didn't even phase him, because of his sharingan he can tell that you're nowhere near as intimidating as you may seem so when you approached him with your overall soft aura and your bright smile he wasn't even surprised.

What was the surprise was how hard he fell for you, he can predict a lot of things but that was not one of them.

If anyone is scared of you he'll force them to interact with you, problem solved now you have a new friend. :)

I'm not sure whether or not he'd be the first to confess, but he'd probably be scared to because of how many close friends he's lost in his lifetime.

But I can say when he does confess it would be short and sweet! And his reaction to your confession would be a really soft smile and a blush across cheeks. And of course a small "me too" or "I feel the same way".

Naruto

I think that when he first saw you he was a bit intimidated by you but also thought you looked very strong and very cool.

When he talks to you for the first time he just gets confused because 1, at the time he was crushing on Sakura and than the universe forcefully shoved you into his life and 2, you're a hell of a lot more soft and kinder than you look and he finds that cute wAiT wUt-

Good job my friend, you've broke him because of your cuteness you cutie. Just give him a moment he'll be fine (and he'll be a huge SIMP-)

He'll still think you're strong and if you complement him he'll take them happily with a small (huge) blush, and please don't mention it he'll just get even more embarrassed.

He likes you more than ramen, and in case you didn't know, THAT'S A LOT.

His confession will be at the romen shop. When he asks if you consider it a date and you say something like 'it can be if you want it to be' he would nervously say yes.

If you end up confessing to him first, out of nowhere, rather bluntly, he'll die from flusteredness :D

Sakura (I don't like her a lot so just bear with me here)

She isn't really intimidated by you like Naruto would be, and she doesn't really pay you that much mind either so-

But when she does interact with you for the first time, she'll think you're so adorable like look at you oh my goodness-

And then she realizes, she likes you A HOLE LOT MORE than Sasuke! She's kinda shocked by it but goes along with it because she finds you so cute!!

She's so nice to you but then 5 seconds later you find her yelling at Naruto over doing something stupid (Sakura why you gotta be mean to him like that though?? T-T)

Naruto gets so jealous of you, but you disided to help Hinata because you felt a bit bad for him (spoiler your efforts work in the end, also I don't ship Naruto and Hinata I'm just going with the cannon even though I really don't want to :D)

She ends up confessing because of the encouragement she got from her friends. When you say something along the lines of 'i feel the same' her face turns into a tomato, she gets the biggest blush you've seen her with, not like her crush wasn't obvious though (I'm so sorry to the people that absolutely love her I feel like I've done her dirty)

Sasuke (I have no idea where to even start with him :'D, dame you writer's block)

He didn't care about you at all when he first saw you, so it's definitely not love at first site

I'd say you were the one who interacted with him first, I really don't see him just going up to you for no reason. I will say this though, your softness ABSOLUTELY SMITES HIS HEART

He really wasn't expecting you to be so soft and cute, he's just standing there listening to you, enjoying the feeling of caring for someone romanticly for the first time

He's so embarrassed if you mention his blushing, or even worse, someone else dose.

His confession is very well planed out, but still pretty simple. He's got a full script of how he's going to confess to you and by the time he's ready to tell you how he feels he can say it word for word, he's just so nervous about it bit his pride would never let him willingly idmit it

Gaara (chunin exams, with Gaara it really, REALLY depends on which version we are talking about when you consider how much change he went through, so I'll just talk about chunin exams Gaara first :) )

He wouldn't notice you that much first, he'll he would barely spare you a second glance. But after he talks to you the first time? Oh boy...

He doesn't understand why he's feeling the way he dose, he's supposed to love himself and only himself, so why is he feeling this way for you...?

He's conflicted, he craves time with you and can't stand the thought of hurting you, but he's also in the mindset that his life's purpose is to kill every last person in the world, could he...? No, he can't love you... could he...?

Temari and kankuro notices he's severely conflicted about something and have talked about it before and suspect that you might be the cause of his change in behavior, but they never really find out why he constantly avoids you until much later.

He just has a lot of mental problems (that do eventually end up getting sorted out somewhere at the end of Naruto) But he's never going to confess to you until he gets himself into a healthy mindset.

Ok now after he gets out of that DAME MINDSET-

Now, if you've known him since before the chunin exams he's going to explain how he feels about you in hopes that you feel the same. Also, this would be the first time you see him expressing how he feels about almost anything.

If he were to meet you after he gets out of the unhealthy mindset, the way you look wouldn't really bother him at all. And when he talks to you he just thinks 'wow, they're cute...' and instantly wants to stay by your side.

He figures out how he feels about you pretty quickly but chooses to hold off on telling you because he doesn't want to jump into things to quickly.

He wants to know what your favorite food is, your hobbies and pass times, your favorite color, you know, all the simple stuff.

Once he gets all this and still adores you, his confession will happen a bit after he became the kazekage. The confession will be short and sweet.

He'll be so happy when you expect his confession, he'll even blush!!

------------------------------------------------------

Hay I'm so sorry this took so long I was just busy with starting school again and have some stuff to do that I kept putting off, but this felt like a nice break from all that! I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did! Good night/day/afternoon/morning :3

Also I was actually considering putting Gaara's part in a hole other post but I disided against it

[spacegoatart]

Hi! I've seen your post about Treasure planet headcanons, soo here is a bunch of mine:

• Silver speaks multiple languages; sometimes he mixes them up as he goes, especially when he's tired, and ends up with "wait what" moments. Some of those become inside jokes between him and Jim.

• Silver hums space shanties when he's working; sometimes he isn't really aware that he's doing that, and if someone (Jim or maybe Sarah Hawkins) asks him what song he is humming, he may not be able to answer right away. He taught Jim a bunch of them, and Morph learned them by constantly overhearing; sometimes the little shapeshifter would either copy Silver's humming or morph into a musical instrument(tin whistle, harmony, maybe a really small lute/guitar) and literally play itself, or morph into whatever lyrics say–tiny ships, aetherium sea monsters, you name it.

• The eye in the bonzabeast stew isn't an actual eye plucked from someone – its actually a fruit from Silver's homeworld, basically a really freaky looking space cherry tomato; it is tricky to industrially grow and harvest even in its natural range, so there is little export and not many people know about it. It is tasty, though, especially pickled, and Silver likes it. They are legally required to be sold in opaque glassware on some worlds, though.

• Jim really likes the texture of solar sails(I hc it to be similar to a really tough, but smooth synthetic, like an outer layer of clothes for winter sports–not stretchy and making nice crinkly/hissy sounds when rubbed against itself) also, solar sails are ironed together rather than sewn when repairs are needed, and when Jim gets his hands onto a real sail iron press for the first time and gets a feel of patching up a sail, he nearly cries with happiness(he put the sails on his solar surf together with homemade instruments, and it was a lot of trial, error and burned fingers)

• Jim has either inattentive or combined type ADHD(a good bit of projecting here, gotta admit); it added a lot of stress for him, both during his sailing on RLS Legacy and in the Academy; Silver is mildly confused, but supportive dad.

• Jim learned some really fancy cooking skills from Silver–he knew how to cook before, but had a pretty utilitarian attitude towards it, not a passion for it. Sometimes he stress cooks or stress cleans, and Silver has to remind him to drink water/stretch/take a break, kid, seriously, you've spent literally hours pacing around, you'll have blisters on your feet if you won't stop

I have more, but I feel like I shared a lot for the first time. Hope you're having a good time ^_^

yess thank u for these, i love all of these :D i wanted to talk about each one so it gets kind of wordy, i really enjoyed seeing these (sorry it took me a few days to finally answer, i meant to answer earlier but i got busy)

1. i love this one, this could be canon lol. its very resourceful to know multiple languages as a pirate so i’m sure he does know many, as well as mix them up. Jim would immediately tease him about it, Silver would laugh about it too.

2. UGH YES he totally sings, i was kind of disappointed that we don't hear him sing in the movie but whatever. morph loves his singing and would totally join along or find a pocket and fall asleep. Silver probably has a great voice making his humming/singing even more enchanting to listen to.

3. this one is really interesting, i hadn't thought about the fact that it may not be a real eye but that would make sense. it wouldn't be the first time nature has adapted visual defense mechanisms to stop things from eating them. the glass jar idea is really cool because yeah, you don't want to buy a jar of something and see eyeballs, as well as someone might put actual ones in, that's a hazard.

4. yess love Jim with sensory issues, he would totally just go up on the mast and touch them and loose his mind. Silver would tell him to get down, etc but he kind of gets it. solar sails are probably hard to care for, especially if they're supposed to soak up energy (i think at least, they're supposed to be solar panels but thinner and flexible) so they would need a special set of tools, ones i’m sure Jim couldn't afford at the time. i wonder if he bought his own or if Sarah and Silver got him one for a birthday or something

5. YES i hadn't even thought about mentally ill Jim but yes he 100% has ADHD (i also have ADHD so don't worry about projecting xD). he probably couldn't focus as well in school and with the stress of the inn and Leland leaving him, he got so frustrated and kind of gave up. while that sucks, he found something to entertain himself, solar surfing and it absolutely became his special interest. when he gets to the academy, he starts to struggle again but this time hes not as put off by it, since he really did want to go. he probably doesn't find out that he has ADHD until either a year or few months in, mainly because it isn't his behavior causing him to fall back. Sarah probably feels so guilty but Jim lets her know that its ok, even he wasn't aware. he starts using his diagnosis to learn what he can do to help himself and he starts getting motivated to keep learning. i was thinking about Jim in the academy, i think he’d become super interested in math, maybe it'd even become a special interest! i just think he’d love to know the way numbers make up the world and how you can determine events based on calculations

6. Jim probably knew how to cook before from his mom but Silver definitely sparked an interest in him. cooking became less of a known skill and became an art, watching Silver garnish dishes, make special sauces and create something delicious out of just the few things on the ship. i bet he’d come home and start stress cleaning, confusing the heck out of Sarah. she knew he was stressed but couldn't help but be a little grateful that her kitchen was completely clean. when Silver is around, he doesn’t really understand that Jim is stressed out, he just thinks he’s cleaning. once he DOES catch on however, he hangs around while Jim is scrubbing, handing him water, convincing him that he can talk about it if he wants and keeping an eye on him in general. it ends up stressing Silver out, watching Jim get so worried over a grade or an assignment, so Silver tries to get Jim to go on walks with him and relax a little. however, Silver knows he can’t make Jim do anything so when Jim insists he just wants to clean and think for a bit, Silver leaves him be. not that he doesn’t immediately go to Sarah to talk about how worried he is about Jim. i wonder if Sarah stress cleans to, maybe Jim gets it from her?

Time to Hate-Watch Turner and Hooch, Episode 5

Because I am bored. And I hate myself. Of you aren't ok with me hate-watching and commenting, well then this is not the post you are looking for. Please move along.

Ah, yes, reminder of the love triangle they put in a kids copaganda show for the parents. Again. Because reminder: they did that last week.

Ew, bad shaky camera work.

Oh god she was listening to that music as a personal stake out sound track by choice? Like, why?

"You're all hopped up on juice boxes and I don't like it." I did like that line.

Laura is 5 years old.

I do like the theme song.

You know what also is weird about this supposed kids show? The episodes are nearly 50 minutes long. No kid is going to pay attention to that long of an episode.

So much natural lighting and making Hooch very yellow in some scenes and not others.

I'm probably too tired to watch this tonight.

Honestly that poor girl. Such a big crush on a very oblivious dipshit.

Branden is a fucking gift to this show. Again, I am just so glad he kept acting after Power Rangers SPD. Not many former PRs stay in the business, let alone get steady work. I'm really proud of him!

Rain. This show must be filmed in Vancouver. Actually, I vaguely remember hearing it was shot there. ... (Googles)... Haha

I mean, air cold enough mid-day to see their breath + rain had to = Vancouver. I mean I guess Portland too. But either way, California my ass.

Dreary natural lighting. Classic Vancouver. I can't believe anyone could actually think this would look like California.

Having Laura recognize a lot of people so that they could give her information to make her getting the information super easy is certainly a choice... by writers who don't want to work to hard. Then again, I think this is supposed to be a a family friendly show...kind of. Line, this isn't a straight up specific demographic this is targeted towards. They just have done a few things I absolutely would not put in a kids show this day and age. Like, it honestly so bizarre to watch.

I'm not fond of stories like this. Guy is getting married, all aspects of the case have a relation to weddings. It's just too much happenstance in this episode. And I'm tired, I should have very little ability to notice most of the is shit tonight.

Oh god, this would be so painful if I wasn't so sleepy. Like, what the fuck are you doing, Laura. Well, at least this is showing Lyndsy's versatility and expressiveness. My god this is such a different character then Alex on Nikita.

Tired sidenote, my watermelon is very good.

Laura gets up to leave after getting this woman to hang out with her. The woman has to remind her that she doesn't know where she lives. I liked that.

"Thank you for your never-ending aquatic references." Ok, this show does have some good lines.

(This is honestly like kind of watching Lucifer. I hat the show, but occasionally there are so lines that I really like. Though I did stop watching Lucifer because I just hated it too much. I was only watching it out of boredom.)

I am really glad that they have a Native guest star. It's nice to see more Native rep on shows the past couple years.

Messaging: Kids, you gotta stand up for other kids being bullied because you are just as bad as the bullies if you just stand there. I'm really ok with this messaging. Good job, so that I mostly don't like.

I'm sorry, I'm so tired.

"His name was Jean-Luc-" Me: stares at camera in 'Robert Duncan McNeill directed this episode and is the primary Executive Producer on this show.'

For those of you who don't know, RDM was Tom Paris in Star Trek Voyager and a character who's name I can't remember that he also played on Star Trek TNG.

Fun fact, Tom Paris was initially going to be the same character he played on TNG, but something about rights blah blah blah, made that a no-go.

Sorry, back to me hate-watching while tired.

Oh god there are 21 minutes left.

Why is Laura holding a guinea pig? And why does she have a karaoke machine?

Why is Branden's character having a romantic time with his fiance while on a case? Ugh, the unprofessionalism. Like, aren't they only a two hour drive from home? Why is this happening? Do they think of distance like the British? Or people who live in Saint Louis? (Seriously, in Saint Louis some people think 20 minutes is a long drive. Granted, ten minutes is a long drive for me, but the position I have to sit in to drive really aggravates my Interstitial Cystitis (meaning I have to pee so, so bad the whole time I am in the car)).

I want to take this moment to apologize. I am very sorry about the tangents and the personal health and whatnot. But at this point I'm too tired to go bad and delete things or care about what else I'm going to write, so I'm just going to keep going without my filter on. Of you make it through this whole thing with me, bless you you sweet, sweet, probably bored soul.

🎶Ooo Heaven is a place on earth 🎶

Oh god, so much tomato stuff. All over the bathroom. The very white bathroom. Good luck with that...Scott? Is that our main characters name? Scott? I don't care to look it up at th- yeah it's Scott, Laura just said it.

Uh, shouldn't that have been made of metal? Either way, shitty craftsmanship if the dog could break it that easily.

That can't be how you train a bomb sniffing dog.

No way someone who's been a police officer for a few years wouldn't know that there are drugs on literally every bill.

Again, family show why?

Neither of them thought there would be a back door?

This while thing is insane. Not in anyway that I find entertaining. But I'd probably be more pissed if I it was more conscious. You should probably be reading all of my angry sounding things as just very tired and a bit sedate because of the tiredness.

I'm sorry Branden's character was a soldier in combat and he's never been shot? Unless I'm misremembering. But seriously, he doesn't know what getting shot in the vest fells like.

Oh look, the girlfriend fires at vehicles driving towards her too. In the same episode..I hate when things are related like that. Not upper level writing.

Why was the Secret Service also looking for those people? What? That can't possibly be their preview.

(Before I finished the episode, I discovered that for the second time this week, I did not get to the litter box fast enough (as in since this morning) to prevent my cat from moving the liner enough to pee between it and the box. So, at 11pm I had to go clean that out.)

Like this guy wouldn't know that he was copping to extortion by saying that.

God, why are they making this case the dad was working on (stupid arching plot in a family tv show why? For the adults who can tell this show is bad already?) even more complicated? Like, is this going to get Heroes level stupidly complex? Because that shit killed that show. Ok, so it probably won't be that bad...just the kids show equivalent of that bad.

Oh good for you, girl who's name I never learned! Quit the job with the evil boss! Please let her be OH NATALIE! Once again, thank you Laura for saying the name of the character whose name I wasn't sure of. What was I saying... Of yeah, I hope Natalie comes back and wasn't just on one episode. More native characters on TV please!

Oh wait, am I just realizing the girls in the live triangle were both on Glee, or did I remember that in a previous post? I know they were both on Glee from the moment I saw them in this show, but, like, I somehow didn't realize it was a very mini Glee reunion when they were in the same scene?

Wait, where did Scott wash Hooch if it wasn't in his own place the first time? Where was that bathroom? Wait, unless this isn't the bathroom in him home? I was definitely too tired to watch this. That might be saving me on the anger level, but it's certainly making it a bit difficult to keep track of some stuff.

Oh bad edit/consistency moment with the foam on Scott's face. Always hating to me.

Episode over.

Closing Thoughts: This show is still driving me insane with it's not on point demographic aiming and just silliness that isn't really good-silly, more like bad-silly. Also, I'm tired.

B-Roll // Shawn Mendes - 9: still rolling

-

Table of Contents

I'm over-thinking everything.

Allen is quiet, but the sun did just rise so I don't blame him. He only has a few tattoos and they're small so it's not a big job.

But I am over-thinking everything.

Nothing with Allen. He's fine.

I'm still thinking about Jake. I had too big of a reaction to him and I'm annoyed. I hate that I let him get to me. I'm usually much better at keeping my walls up and just ignoring him and moving on. He's said worse. He's done worse. I've dealt with worse. Today was practically nothing. I mean, he was actually weak today. He was off his asshole game. They weren't even good insults.

Is he right though? Am I on my period?

No.

God no. I'm not doing that. I'm not letting him have this. He's not right and he will not make me doubt myself.

But I'm still thinking about him, what he said. Why? This is so stupid.

I don't know why today is a particularly bad anxiety day for me, but you know, here we are.

Gah, I'm such a mess. I'm just the worst.

Why does Jake even bother with me? There are so many other people he could torment! Why he gotta pick me?!

"Do I have a really big pimple or something?"

I pause right before resting my brush against Allen's jawline and look into his eyes. "What? No, you're good."

A crease appears between his eyebrows. "You sure?" he presses.

I nod, "Positive. Not a bump in sight."

He sighs. "Good."

I go back to evening his skin tone.

"Cause you looked really bothered," he continues. "And I was worried it was me."

"Oh no, it's not you," I assure him. "It's just one of those days, you know?"

"Monday?" he adds.

"Yep."

Maybe it is just Monday. Monday's are usually especially sucky.

In an effort to try to turn the day around, I'm more talkative than normal for the rest of the morning. Allen and I talk about life. He tells me about his career so far in small indie movies, that this is the biggest movie he's been a part of, his favorite film festival is SXSW because he loves that it's a celebration of all kinds of art, not just film. I tell him about working as an extra for the past couple years and why I suddenly decided to get into makeup.

"Is it your dream to be a makeup artist?" he asks while we're hanging out at crafty between setups after lunch.

I shrug while I grab a few bags of gummies. "Not really."

"What is your dream then?"

"I honestly don't know. I haven't decided yet."

"Then why are you doing this?"

I pour myself a cup of water from a cooler while he sips tea from an Einstein Bros. thermos he brought from home.

"Because it's something I know how to do and I'm good at it." I smirk as I add, "and it pays the bills."

I think he's trying to get some deeply profound and bullshit therapy monologue from me, but it's not going to happen. I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life or what my goals are. This is just where I'm at right now and it's what I'll be doing for the next month or so. I'm taking things day by day right now.

At some point, Allen's questions become too much for me and I escape to my chair in one of the classrooms down the hall from the library where they're filming. The cast has a classroom for holding and the crew has another right across the hall. Crafty is in the hallway between the two. Since I was one of the last people to wander over here at the beginning over the day, my chair is nearest to the door. I'm definitely going to move tomorrow because, as sweet as Allen is, he tries to catch my eye every time I look up and you know, sometimes people just want to be left alone.

I'm responding to a text from Michael asking how the day's going so far when a loud cackle echoes down the hallway, quickly squashed by a harsh "shhh" from someone else.

As a group of guys enters the room, I look up and instantly regret it.

Jake's eyes connect with mine for a brief second before he looks away, but unfortunately for me, he does a double-take and walks back a few feet and stops in front of my chair.

"Sup?" he nods at me as he leans against the wall.

I roll my eyes. "What do you want?"

We both speak in hushed tones so our voices don't carry.

He puts a hand over his heart. "I'm hurt, Lyla. Maybe I just want to spend some time with my old friend."

I want to laugh. "When were we friends?"

He pouts. "We're youth group buddies. We have to stick together."

"I haven't even looked at that church in 5 years," I say flatly. "What do you really want?"

"Fine." He steps away from the wall. "You want me to be frank?" He stands with his feet apart and his hands folded behind his back. His voice is clear when he says: "You owe me."

I laugh, but I keep it quiet. "I don't owe you a thing. Go bother someone else."

He doesn't leave, doesn't even flinch.

"How are you even here?" I ask. "Weren't you an extra? We wrapped them all on Friday."

He puffs out his chest slightly and flicks his nose with his right thumb before smirking at me and folding his arms over his chest. "They needed another wardrobe assistant."

"Bull," I laugh. "There are at least 10 wardrobe people. That's enough."

"Apparently it's not," Jake's tone shifts like he's talking to a little kid.

"Leave me alone Jake," I say again.

I think he stands up straighter and plants his feet firmer into the floor.

"I don't take orders from you," he says.

"It wasn't an order," I correct him, "but if you took it that way, that's your problem. Not mine."

His hands drop to his sides, his fists are balled. He opens his mouth to retort, but he's cut off.

"Hey Lyla," Shawn steps up behind Jake and we both look at him. "They need you on set."

Um...

They most certainly do not. They’re rehearsing with second team right now.

What are you doing, Shawn?

"No, I don't think they do," I say as I shake my head slowly.

Shawn's looking right into my eyes and I catch the subtle flick of his eyebrows and the urgency in his own eyes.

"I mean," he says. "Kevin told me to come get you."

"No, I didn't," Kevin speaks up from across the room.

I pull my lips in to refrain from giggling.

Shawn's as red as a tomato.

"If someone really wanted me," I joke. "They'd have sent a PA, or come themselves before they sent an actor. Especially you."

Shawn's jaw tightens.

I might have taken that too far.

He continues: "They need you f-"

I widen my eyes, a nonverbal plea to get him to stop, and Shawn's nostrils flare when he stops talking. I try to soften my gaze so he knows that whatever he thinks is happening, isn't. But, I'm not sure he's getting it.

He takes a deep breath, his shoulders rise and fall. He hasn't broken the eye contact once.

"Can I talk to you?" he asks calmly and when I pause for a few seconds, he adds: "Please?"

I have two choices. First: refuse and keep this up until he gives in, which probably won't happen. He seems fairly stubborn, so he'll probably end up making a scene or dragging me off with him. So, really, I'm left with the second option: go with him.

I really don't want to do this right now, but I clearly don't have a say in the matter.

I stand up and follow him, without acknowledging Jake. Who is apparently bothered by this, because he whispers as I pass:

"Tell your boyfriend to stay out of other people's business."

If it were physically possible to breathe fire, he'd be a pile of ash on the floor right now.

Left Brain, Right Brain|Yoosung

Summary: Yoosung is in Starbucks losing his mind from loss of sleep and studying too much. His left and right brain are at war and they are represented by his close friends Jumin and Seven.You talk to him and hit it off with some pickup lines.

Pairing: Yoosung x Reader

Warnings: Swearing + Inaproptiate themes? There is mention of sex and sex parts? Idk how to describe it but if you’ve been on Tumblr for a while it should be fine lmao.

Yoosung was really sleep deprived and he didn’t have a clue where he was all he knew was that he had a cup of coffee in front of him. He even started having hallucinations.

Hello, patient 24602.

“Hi, I'm sorry.”

How are you feeling?

“Um, not great.”

Has the treatment been working?

“Uh, I don't think so, no.”

What are your remaining symptoms?

“I just—I internalize my feelings a lot. I have trouble articulating how I'm feeling to other people. I feel like I just—.”

So basically you're still a little bitch.

“Yes, very mature of you disembodied voice way up there.”

I was just joking

“Okay, just let's get to the point. What's wrong with me, please? Please.”

Your emotions and your logic are at war.

“Ok.”

Your creativity and your analysis are at war. And most simply, your left and right brain are at war.

“My left and my—”

To fix the problem we must separate them from each other.

“Sep—”

Splitting your neurological functions in 5... 4...

“Can we book an appointment or something?”

3...

“You just don't start counting down to major medical procedures.”

2... 1. This may hurt a bit.

“I don't even know what 'it' is.”

0.

“Just tell me what you're—.”

Isolation complete.

He put his head on the table and the people around him looked worried for him but did nothing to help him. He sits up and there are two people now sitting next to him. Well in his mind they were next to him but no one was actually next to him. One was wearing a suit and the other was in a hoodie and jeans.

The one in the suit stood up and the voice started talking again.

This is Yoosung's Left Brain: objective, logical, cold, analytical, aware of patterns, aware of trends, he's efficient, and a prick.

He rolls his eyes and sits while the other stands.

This is Yoosung's Right Brain: subjective, creative, sensory, aware of feelings, aware of people, he's emotional, and an idiot.

“That's your opinion. Just careful with opinions.”

Okay, boys, play nice.

Yoosung just sat in his spot watching them. Now they are both standing and suit guy starts talking.

“I am Jumin Han, I am the Left Brain. I work really hard 'til my inevitable death brain. You got a job to do, you better do it right, and the right way is with the left brain's might.” He gets pushed out of the way by the right brain.

“I like Oreos and pussy, yes, in that order! And I cried for at least an hour after watching "Toy Story 3". Woody! I am 707 The Right Brain, I have feelings. I'm a little all over the place But I'm lustful, trustful and I'm looking for somebody to love... Or put my penis in”

You walk in Starbucks in dire need of caffeine due to staying up all night working on homework.

“Here comes a female, here comes a female. Puff your chest out, take your phone and check your e-mail. Our evolutionary purpose is repopulate. So gather data now and see if she's a possible mate.” Jumin says staying by Yoosungs side. 707 runs to her side with heart eyes.

“Holy fuck I think she might be the one, there's something about her, I just can't describe it.“

“Tits,” Jumin says rolling his eyes.

“I am the earth, she is the glorious sun. I want her to trust me and I just want her to—how do I say this—sit on my face! Sit! Sit on my face!” Jumin pulls him away from you while you just stared at the menu not noticing Yoosung staring.

“Alright now, Right Brain, you're being insane.”

“No, Left Brain, I'm just being alive. You should try it, you might like it.“

“I worked hard to give him everything he cared about. You were worried about the things that he was scared about. I'm calm and collected when you act wild. I am the adult, you are the child.“

“You think you're the right one every time. You think you know everything but you don't know anything at all. Half of his problems were supposed to be mine. But you wanted everything. I hope that you're happy 'cause he's sure not.”

“Well, according to my calculations. I'm sorry, let me run the numbers again, um, you're a pussy.”

“Name calling? Really? You're gonna just do name calling?”

“I'm not calling names, alright. I'm just stating facts and the fact is you're a quivering pussy.”

“I'm the pussy? Well, at least I don't play with toys still, Ok...”

“Rubik's Cubes are not toys. They keep my spacial reasoning skills sharp.”

“Left Brain plays with toys! Look at you, Mr... you're a toy player.”

“Well, at least I did my fucking job, alright. I kept him working, I kept him productive. You were supposed to look after him. You were supposed to keep him emotionally stable through all this. Now you're trying to blame me for how he's feeling, how he's feeling! If he's feeling unhappy it's because you failed him. You did this to him, he hates you. I know he does. He fucking hates you!” Jumin pushed 707 and he trips falling over. Sobs fill the room but no one hears but Yoosung, “ Right Brain, look, I'm sorry, okay?”

“No, you’re not” 707 curls up still sobbing.

“Look, maybe there's something that we could do together.” Jumin kneels by his curled up body.

“Together?” 707 looks up at him.

“Take the best parts of both of us and put them together.”

“I'm listening.”

“It would let you let your feelings out, it would let me analyze. So you could man the themes; I'll man the form. It's something that George Carlin did, It's something that Steve Martin did. It's something special that we could both perform. Do you know what it is?” 707 looked confused but then his face lighted up.

“Juggling, we could juggle, and juggle our cares away!”

“It was... It was comedy, you, fuck it, we could do comedy together.”

Initiate reassembly.

“All right, Right Brain, we're gonna do comedy together, we gotta do comedy together.”

“All right, Left Brain, I'll do comedy with you.”

“Look, we can fix him like this—we can make him happy again. I promise, all right?”

5, 4, 3.

“Left Brain... Jumin, I love you.”

2. “I know.” 707 looks at him like tf you ain’t gonna say it back?

1. Experimentation complete.

You got your coffee and there was a student from your class there as well. Looking just as dead as you with a coffee sitting in front of him. Being you-you wanted to go check on him. So you sat across from him and his eyes moved to you and a blush formed on his face.

“You doin alright there buddy?” You sipped your coffee and you could see the panic in his eyes.

“Are you a campfire? Cause you're hot and I want s'more.” His eyes widen and he covers his mouth. When you laughed he looked at you his face as red as a tomato now.

“Oh, Jesus that was good! But, I got better,” You looked him in the eyes and say, “If you’re feeling down, can I feel you up?” You wink and he turns even redder than you thought possible. You two said bad pick up lines to each other until your coffee was gone and exchanged numbers. He walks you out and you are about to leave when he grabs your hand.

“So we’re friends, when do the benefits start to kick in?” You roll your eyes and walk away smiling.

I know allot of this shit is unusual.

He need to call his friends from his DNA4U list and say "i got a laundry problem. You got a working machine? I got the clothes and soap"

Tap the drive thru for a party taco box and some drinks and see a friend or meet a new one and spend the day.

Look i know. But mother fucking listen

Loophole your ass. I didn't create DNA4U so,you can sit around in shit smelling clothes alright???.

That IS OPTION NUMBER ONE.

Option number two is sneak into an apartment complex or hotel and do coin operated laundry there. But i tell you i lived in an apartment complex where the dryers didn't work on purpose so you would pay 4x for one dry. So i washed then hung every thing to dry in the bathroom. So obviously I would recommend not this. But if you can't hang you can't hang. So take a bleach rag ang bleach and clean the machines first or wipes or whatever it is you use. Spic and Span or Mr Clean. Because I'm quite sure ain't no one cleaning it. Unless it's a hotel. They will and their machines may work better... MAY. because they know its important the clothes get dry for packing so it's either an,extremely rude rip off or they gonna take,care proper and they gonna dry. In today's age of online reviews. Most likely they will work properly.,but check online first.

But think. Around 2 machines (maybe more) of questionable quality that you feed quarters into for hours. In some unknown land that ANYONE can walk into. Anyone. Perv flashers. Murderers all rank because you're Asian or Black or even Caucasian. In a not so comfortable area of questionable cleanliness.

OR

meeting a new qualified friend from your DNA4U list who says man i probably ain't got Corona and i feel fine. My laundry machine is 13 years old and i broke this part of it washing pillows so there's a big hole in the bottom of the door but it works great (im talking about myself) And i like Taco Bell and my daughter only eats Del Taco so if you're on that side of town just get Wendy's (still same price as a taco box) if not then just roll up at McDonald's you gotta pass it no matter which way you come from but one. Tell me your pick and ill let you know what to get.

$20 and then a very comfy sofa. And a fine TV. Xbox. Play station. Netflix. Electric plugs for your phone.

Conversations.

Note i didn't say bring your own soap. I ain't gonna be like that because you should know you need to. If you don't next time I'll tell you like you need a mother. If you don't the next time. When you ask again I'm gonna tell you no.

Now on the other hand if you give at least $10 for soap and water use on top of the food then we're good.

I'm talking "lower class" finances. I know you got plenty enough in DNA4U from me. So you should be doubling it. Or you know like $15.

Now I'm telling you. Ill order an Asiago chicken sandwich combo x2 with baked potato and coke no ice and frostie. Mixed vanilla and chocolate.

Or ten piece chicken and a big Mac, 1 basket of fries, 1 large coke no ice and 2 ice creams. With honey mustard.

Or we might get arbys which is 1 large fry. 1 chicken bacon swiss no tomato. 1 three cheese. And 2 large milk shakes.

Cause I'm gonna order for me and my kid. Cause im a single mom to one.

So like a big family is a taco box. Or like 6 large frosties. Or 6 of them candy mixed fake blizzards from McDonald's.

Arbys has 5 for $10 right now. And Weinershniztl has a hot dog box, too. And hey pizza. You can get 2 for $20 easy. The $5.99 at Dominos. You can get 2 with taxes and delivery runs $18.99

Remember your laundry personnel needs to get something for themselves in the drive thru. They need to eat to do their own dam laundry

Going to someone's house to do your clothes means it's your responsibility. Put your game on pause and get it done.

The people living there should check you know how to run it and show you where the soap goes. Always show where the soap goes.

I don't use nor like dryer sheets they cause a build up that can cause a fire. So i use liquid fabric softener. But i know if i rinse the lint screen with water until it pours through and doesn't run on the surface then it's fine. So I don't care they use dryer sheets. I'm not gonna throw down about it.

But if you can't handle it. Explain "i use liquid fabric softener and if you don't mind to use mine because I'm totally freaking about dryer sheets" then it's for your quality and sound of mind so its a free bump for you and them. Don't expect them to pay you back for that. That was for you. Not them. Don't expect them not to use s fabric softener because you're tripping.

Don't expect them to clean your machines. That's your home. Your machines. Your responsibility. Now if they make a mess then they need to clean it.

Say they accidentally pour soap all over the floor. Have them use something dirty that will go into the wash to clean it. Eye ball measure it to see how much it is.

If its their last load and don't have anything dirty then use something dirty of yours.

You will need a dirty wet towel to clean it proper

Do you see what I'm saying? Use the soap to clean the laundry. Don't waste it.

Don't use a broom and dustpan and sweep it into the trash.

Put it on the clothes needing to be cleaned. Its old school it works just fine.

So DNA4U Friends list. Teamwork. Find and use love.

It could be a good playdate for kids. Or not. Check theirs too.

If your kids aren't compatible then you can still take them. Just keep your kid with you. Your child will,lesrn about you and your social interactions. Your child or,children will be your managers and so when the dsy is over they can,score you. Tell,you how well you did in,their eyes.

Now aliens do not have DNA4U access. You have no options. You must leave the Earth.

That is all i am allowed to say.
