Ballard Street (Jerry van Amerongen) 06/06/2013

me when people say Sweeney Todd and Henry Creel are just “cold-blooded villains” who do bad things only for pleasure and when people totally ignore the depth and the complexity of their characters as well as the trauma and the abuse both characters went through that turned them into these “monsters”

in this essay I will

Imagine…

You’re your comfort characters comfort character 

C/c=comfort character 

Warning ⚠️:kinda sad at the end but at first kinda cute I also didn’t reread this so it might be rushed and not make sense mb plus it’s short

A/n: send request for stories like these I like writing them.🙃 pick a specific character tho and I’ll tell you if I can do them or not (please send requests)

After a long day of school/work they come home and lay in bed they grab their pillow and began to speak. “hey y/n I had a good day today I almost got into a fight but I didn’t because I thought of you and how you wouldn’t want me to do that how you would want me to be the bigger person so I talked to them about it and I know you fight sometimes but you wouldn’t want me to risk everything by fighting so yeah how was your day??”  In their mind the pillow came to life forming your face and body into it. “I had a good day just chilled on your bed you know” you looked into the eyes of C/C and grabbed the side of their face. “I’m proud of you I’m so proud of you” you hugged them and then you laid on their chest they hugged back and you started to cuddle they you felt something hot and wet they were crying. “what’s wrong??” You asked and put their face into your hands. “I love you but your not real” their world of happiness collapsing with those words. Your.Not.Real you made them happy you made them better but you weren’t real. 

A/n:Hey I wrote this because I seen dd Osama confront n3on and I was proud of him and I thought of what it would be like if I had his comfort character or if I was any of my other comfort characters comfort character I seen a story similar that’s what this was based on so if you find that send me a link bc I really want to read it again they wrote it better than me

They're not traditions. They're more like habits under specific conditions.

For example, McDonald's ice cream cones.

Now, we normally don't go to McDonald's for anything. But one time, I'm not sure how long ago, we were on the road and it was hot out and we stopped in at one for ice cream cones. The last two times I remember are last year at the end of our Utah campervan adventure when we stopped in at, I think, Provo and I scored the biggest pile-ups of vanilla ice cream on our cones ever... because the young man fixing up those cones for us was brand new to the job. 😁

The second one was on our way back from one of our road trips to California when we stopped in at the McDonald's there for ice cream cones. The funny thing being that while it was sunny out... it was also windy and cold. But a habit's a habit and we were on the road taking a quick break which is always about ice cream cones.

At McDonald's.

The habit didn't start last year, by the way. It'd been established well before then. I just don't remember when.

Now, we don't do the McDonald's ice cream cones up here. Except...

When we're having a day, typically on the weekends, when it's a full day running errands, doing a ton of things that aren't very weekend-y things to do because it's a lot of work.

In that circumstance...

We finish the day with ice cream cones at McDonald's.

Don't know what to tell you. That's just how it works for us.

Okay so there's another habit that turns up in specific conditions. In this case it's not as involved a habit as the ice cream cones. 

But we do know when it started.

Saturday night.

September 7, 2019

'Lil Woody's. The one right next to The Bay Majestic in Ballard.

I'm not sure how we wound up there. Most likely we were just at The Bay for a movie.

Now, the habit isn't eating at 'Lil Woody's. It's that we have a table at 'Lil Woody's. 

Our table. 

Our table?

Yeah.

It's the one to the right of the front door as you enter. It's a wooden countertop fit between the door and the brick wall. And when you're sitting there on the metal stools, you're facing a ceiling-high sheet of glass, looking out on Market Street.

I'm sure making this our table was not a conscious plan of ours. It's where we happened to sit just then. It's where we chose to sit during one of the most cataclysmic nighttime downpours and lightning shows we ever experienced.

The downpour was so intense we stayed inside at 'Lil Woody's until it was over and we could walk back to our car in relative, you know, dryness.

At some point we were just sitting there, listening to the rain slam into the cars and concrete of Market street and watching the lightning do its thing over Elliott Bay. Not bolts of lightning, by the way, but the kind of lightning that seems to light up miles of clouds. Like the entire sky, each cloud in it, is wired with lights that are randomly triggered by an invisible hand.

After that experience, every time we dined-in at that 'Lil Woody's, that's our seat.

And at some point we acknowledge that first experience.

Anyway...

We did both those things today. The ice cream cones thing and the 'Lil Woody's thing. One slight bit of habit that doesn't have a particular reason for being other than, you know, ice cream. The other slight bit of habit born of a memorable experience three (ish) years ago on a dark and stormy night.

All of which is a super roundabout way of saying we had ice cream and hamburgers yesterday.

😁😁😁

TBR TAKEDOWN: Week 9 (July 28)

TLDR: I have too many unread books, and I’m asking tumblr to help me downsize. Pick one or none, and comment if you can - a convincing sentence is worth a dozen votes! You’re also welcome to just choose the one that sounds the worst :D Book descriptions below the cut, see my pinned post for more info.

I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest

Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure.

Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her.

Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window.

Princess X?

When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.

Tinkerbelle by Robert Manry

This book tells how a dream became a deed: how a middle aged, married and presumably sober copy editor of the Plain Dealer, of Cleveland, Ohio, happened to get the idea of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat, how he acquired the boat, and how he executed the voyage that made his idea a reality. It is the story of the 13 1/2 foot sloop Tinkerbelle, believed to be the smallest boat ever to cross the Atlantic nonstop.

The author, having undertaken to explain why he made the voyage, describes his adventures during the 78 days it lasted: being awakened by a submarine, being knocked overboard by big waves, meeting three Russian trawlers, suffering weird hallucinations, repairing a broken rudder in mid-ocean, receiving a feast from a Belgian ship captain, trying to get dry, being interviewed by a Cleveland TV newsman 250 miles from journey’s end, and receiving a welcome from an armada of small boats at his destination, Falmouth, England.

Quite apart from the thrill of the exploits it reports, Robert Manry’s story has the happy effect of persuading the reader that he too could sail a small boat single-handed across the Atlantic… if only he could find the time.

The Cantaloupe Thief by Deb Richardson-Moore

It's ten years since wealthy matriarch Alberta Resnick was found stabbed to death in Georgia. Local reporter Branigan Powers sets out to investigate the city's only unsolved murder.

Branigan knows that the homeless often have information, but are rarely asked. She gets in touch with Liam, a pastor who runs a shelter. As they start to ask questions, secrets begin to surface. Then homeless people start dying.

Clearly the killer won't stop until all tracks are covered. But what the killer doesn't know is that someone is watching, someone who is used to being ignored and unseen…

DAY 5568

Jalsa, Mumbai                  May 15/16,  2023                Mon/Tue 9:47 AM

🪔 .. for the 16th of May , it's our happy birthday wishes to Ef Debelina De from the City of Joy - Kolkata .. love and greetings always from the Ef Family .. ❤️🌿

Aahhhhhhh .. the impotency of content ..

How you moving on street with stranger ..? No security ..? You are loved take care ..? 

And then ..  NO HELMET .. !!!!!! 

The fact of the matter is that this is on location shoot on the street of Mumbai ..

It is Sunday .. formal permission taken for shoot at a lane in Ballard Estate .. permission sought for Sunday because all offices are shut and there is no public or traffic ..

One lane in the region BLOCKED off by Police permission for shoot .. the lane barely 30-40 meters .. 

The dress I wear is my costume for the film ..

AND .. I AM JUST FOOLING AROUND BY GETTING ON THE BIKE , OF A CREW MEMBER .. NOT EVEN MOVING ANY WHERE, BUT GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT I TRAVELLED TO SAVE TIME .. 🤣 ..

But yes I would do it if there was a problem of punctuality .. and wear helmet and follow all the rules and regulations of the traffic guide lines .. 

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THIS .. had seen Akshay Kumar do this to get to location on time .. wore helmet etc., on the bike of his Security person .. no one could recognise .. and it was rapid and efficient .. and it worked well ..

Thank you all for your concern and your care and love and your spanking me and trolling ..  !!!

Ef .. delays again .. uff this is getting out of hand .. but had some very important meets and they took time ..so retired early .. but here I am and off again to work .. shall try not to delay the Blog ..

And sorry , people , for causing concern and giving any wrong  concept of breaking traffic rules ..  I did not .. love all of you .. ❤️
