Monster
inspired by me in 9th grade
Wake up,
Stretch,
Flash a smile and wink at the puzzled face in 
Your cereal,
Slip on headphones,
Put on Spotify,
Playlist? “Songs I Could Listen To For The Rest Of Time”
Artist? “Will Wood”
Song? “The Main Character”
Shove your half-complete math homework in your bag,
Ignore the (totally written) English Essay on the table.
Read a good book on the drive,
The character with all the death flags you’ll notice on your second reading is
Your favorite, naturally
Less arrive and more stumble into school.
Find the latin room.
Sit down.
And pull out your textbook.
You gotta study for the quiz in 3 minutes somehow
Fall into the couch in, well any room really.
Pull out computer,
“I got time.” Write a poem.
Daydream through the rest of the school day.
Ignore the cold stares from your math teacher.
You aren’t gonna freeze today.
Dance into the theater,
Have a panic attack in the catwalks,
Slide down the spiral steps
Land on your bad leg,
Your tears are part of the act.
You could swear her stares whisper “monster” across the wings.
Ignore it.
Wave goodbye to those who are cordial but don’t want to interact to the “weird kid”
And go home and sleep.
One day down, I could live through eternity like this.

Picture this, if you will: hundreds of grey-haired grannies ganging up to face down a group of neo-Nazi skinheads. Some of the skinheads have beer bottles in their hands. The grannies are armed with nothing more than umbrellas and hand-knitted woolly hats. It sounds like a corny sketch for a TV comedy show. But no. It’s election time in Germany’s eastern Länder (federal regions), and the grannies are out on the streets.
There’s no Granny Party. The movement, called in German Omas gegen Rechts (Grannies against the right), has grown into a national and international force since it was founded in 2017 by an Austrian psychotherapist and evangelical priest, Monika Salzer.
It is widely assumed here that apathy and low voter turnout will result in a far-right victory. But election posters showing a cartoon granny with a rainbow flag carry a simple message: “Granny says – go out and vote!” Apart from the rainbow, a symbol of tolerance, sexual liberation and diversity, there is no instruction on how to vote.
In between elections, the Grannies are busy knitting and babysitting. But they also raise funds, for example by baking and selling cakes, to finance the poster campaign and a set of beer mats that make up a pub quiz.
In Leipzig, my new home town, the Grannies have raised enough money to install three new Stumblestones (Stolpersteine). These are little brass plaques inscribed with the names of people whom the Nazis deported and murdered in the 1930s and 40s. The new plaques commemorate the Wesly family – Hermann, a Jewish publisher of music and books, his wife, Berta, and their daughter, Margot. Berta and Hermann were taken to Auschwitz and murdered in the gas chambers. Margot escaped to England – but the British authorities put her in a concentration camp too, as an enemy alien.
A violin and an accordion were played during the installation of the little plaques where the Weslys’ house once stood. The stonemason’s hammer punctuated the music with a slow beat. Then Granny Gisela read out a short account of how the family was persecuted and how we must never forget. Many spectators were in tears. The memorial is on the doorstep of the new building that now stands on the site – a kindergarten. Its head teacher joined the ceremony and promised to find a way of explaining the story to the kids “without scaring them too much”. I remarked that it was a very special moment. Granny Sylvia put me right.
“Sadly, it’s not so special. This brings the number of Stolpersteine in Leipzig to almost 800. There is one on almost every street,” she said, before inviting us all to join her for coffee and cake.
Later she shared a link to the Stolpersteine app in the Google Play store (also on Apple). It’s true – there are hundreds of Stumblestones. Many are not for Jewish victims, but for brave souls like William Zipperer who tried to stop the Nazis and save their neighbours. He was executed in January 1945 for plotting against the state. 
As a mark of respect, the Grannies regularly go out to polish the small memorials set into the pavements, to light candles and lay flowers.
There is another side to the movement. They are part of the Antifa, Germany’s radical ultra-left. Not quite as radical as Lina Engel, the antifascist activist who is serving jail time in Dresden for plotting physical attacks on neo-Nazi pubs and meetings. Nor have any Grannies been caught setting fire to building sites where executive homes are replacing the old affordable blocks of flats – a typical Antifa action. 
They upload videos to TikTok. And they are taking their campaign out of the city and into villages and suburbs where right wing parties recruit people who feel neglected or “left behind” by the Berlin government.
“Solidarity without borders instead of right wing propaganda,” says the Radical Grannies’ poster, urging supporters to join them in a mass demonstration. These are Grannies who don’t knit.

give me back my girlhood (it was mine first)
✰ 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Tim Bradford x Lucy Chen
✰ 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Tim thinks Lucy has fully healed from Caleb. He is quickly proven wrong when they start dating.
✰ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Tim Bradford would burn the entire world just to see Lucy Chen smile, trauma, ptsd, takes place around season 5, canon divergence, hints to autistic!Lucy (meltdowns, going nonverbal, stimming, etc), Lucy had seizures after Caleb, Tamara is Chenfords kid, can you tell I have a soft spot for Tamara, Title is from Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve by Taylor Swift, tagging @natashasera
don’t forget to read and reblog, and i do not give permission for my works to be posted anywhere other than tumblr. thank you.
Tumblr media
Tim thought that the transition from just friends to in a relationship would be easy for him and Lucy, but he was quickly proven wrong. He also thought that Lucy had healed from what Caleb and Rosalind had done to her, but once again, he was proven wrong. She may have healed enough to continue day to day life in her normal manner, but when it came to their relationship, almost everything triggered her, and it broke Tim’s heart. 
The first time Tim had noticed that Lucy was being triggered was when they went on their first date. Lucy had ordered a drink, an old fashioned to be exact. She had taken a sip of it when it arrived at their table, and Tim saw how a line appeared between her two eyebrows. 
“Everything okay, Luce?” He asked quietly, prepared to flag down the waitress and have her remake the drink if it wasn’t up to Lucy’s standards. Lucy nodded slightly, but pushed the cup away. As she did so, Tim saw her hand shaking. 
“I-It tastes funny.” She whispered so quietly that Tim barely heard her. Tim moved closer to her in the booth. 
“It tastes funny?” He asked, and she nodded, tears beginning to form. 
“It doesn’t taste normal.” She said, her breathing picking up speed. Tim grasped her chin, guiding her eyes to his, and his stomach dropped when he saw the fear in them, realizing what was going on. Her drink tasted different to her, and it brought back memories to when she was drugged. Tim’s heart broke as she whimpered, tears beginning to spill over and roll down her cheeks, her breath speeding up.
“Luce, baby,” He whispered. “You’re safe. I know that what you’re feeling feels really real right now, but it’s not. You’re here with me, Tim, and you’re safe.” He said, still holding her face. “Can you nod if you can hear my voice, Goosey?” He said, and Lucy immediately nodded. “Good girl,” he praised, and smiled slightly when he saw her breathing slow slightly. 
“Can you tell me something that you can see?” He asked, and her eyes darted around briefly, before settling on Tim. 
“Y-You,” She stuttered, and Tim smiled. 
“You can see me?” He inquired, and she nodded. “Good girl.” 
He continued to quiz her on her surroundings until she was back in the present, and had calmed down. She was still upset, but Tim knew it was more out of embarrassment than anything. She had wrapped both her arms around his left one, and was resting her head on his shoulder, looking down at her lap. 
“How are you feeling?” He asked, and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. Lucy didn’t respond with words, instead she grunted slightly, and snuggled into his shoulder even more. “Baby,” he whispered, and eased his arm out of her grip, and wrapped it around her shoulders. “How are you feeling?” 
Lucy, once again, didn’t respond, and buried her face in his chest. “Okay, okay,” He soothed, helping her get comfortable. “Do you want to eat, or do you want to go home?” He asked and Lucy shakily pointed to her plate, and Tim pulled it over, handing her her fork. Lucy then sat up, and slowly began eating her food. Tim went back to his own food once he was sure she was okay, but he kept his hand on her lower back. 
Tim had also noticed that Lucy seemed to fear arguments and disagreements with him. It was something he had taken note of when she first came back to work after Caleb. She was quiet, only talking when he spoke to her, and then if they got in as much as the slightest disagreement, she would shut it down and just agree with him, no matter how he knew she felt about the topic. He thought that she was just taking time to readjust to their relationship being strictly Rookie-TO at work, but he realized as soon as they started dating that she had developed a fear of men, and a fear of upsetting them. 
Tim had asked her what she wanted for dinner, and she had said she didn’t care, and that he could pick. Normally, Tim would be okay with that, but since asking her out, he had been making all the decisions in the relationship, in things that didn’t involve work. He had insisted that she choose, and she refused, and they went back and forth until Lucy completely shut down and stopped talking, which made Tim angry. 
And he knows it shouldn’t have made him angry, but he couldn’t help it. He wanted her to be able to eat what she wanted around him, and he didn’t want her to feel like he was controlling her or the relationship in anyway. He knew that she needed to feel in control, and he wanted her to be able to feel that. 
“Lucy, just tell me what you want to eat, and I will go and get it!” He said, exasperated, and Lucy shook her head aggressively, and turned away from him. “No,” he said, reaching out for her. “C’mon, talk to me, I just wanna help-“ he stopped talking when he saw her flinch away from him. He then watched through the reflection of the tv the fear that had appeared on her face. 
She then whimpered, and then shot up, running to her bedroom, sobs falling from her lips as she went. Tim immediately followed her, instantly feeling shitty about the way he had talked to her. He felt even shittier when he walked into her bedroom and saw her hiding behind the chair in the corner of her room by the window, the soft grey blanket that he bought her her first night in the hospital after Caleb giving away her position, the material peaking out from behind the legs. 
“Goosey,” Tim whispered, crouching down close to the chair, but also keeping his distance so that she didn’t feel trapped. “I’m sorry,” he started. “I shouldn’t have spoken like that. I didn’t mean to scare you. If you don’t feel like you can choose what to eat right now, that’s okay. I can choose for us.”
He paused, and waited to hear if Lucy would respond at all. After a moment, he heard her voice say something, but he couldn’t make out what she said. 
“Can you repeat that, Luce? I didn’t hear you.” He said, and Lucy’s voice could be heard again, this time louder. 
“Sorry,” she whispered. “Sorry I made you mad.” She continued, and Tim sighed, moving slightly closer. 
“Goosey, you didn’t make me mad at all. I just want you to be able to feel in control of your body and your choices, thats why I wanted to know what you wanted to eat. I shouldn’t have pressured you like I did, and I should have listened to your body language.”
“‘m sorry, please don’ hurt me,” she sobbed. “Didn’t mean it, I’ll be good,” 
Tim wiped away the tear that ran down his face after he realized that Lucy was having a flashback. 
“I want you to listen to me, Lucy.” He said calmly. “You’re here with me, in your bedroom, in your apartment in Los Angeles. Caleb is dead, and you’re safe. He can’t hurt you anymore, I promise.” He soothed, and after a few more moments of silence, he heard a sniffle, followed by a small “okay,” and then some shuffling. 
Lucy crawled out from behind the arm chair and looked up at Tim, slightly hiding her face behind her blanket. Tim gently held out his arms, letting her know she can come to him for comfort if thats what she needed. She slowly inched her way over to him, and fell into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her as tight to her body as he knew she liked, and stood up slowly, lifting her in the process. 
He let her cry out her emotions as he slowly rocked her back and forth, hoping the motion would help her to regulate her emotions. She eventually calmed down, and she snuggled into his shoulder, sniffling slightly. He rubbed her back as he walked out into the living room, whispering in her ear as he did. 
“Do you want me to choose what we eat? Would that make it easier on you?” He asked, and he nodded, taking a mental note of what to do next time she struggles like that. She needed to feel in control, but sometimes she needed him to make decisions for her, and he was okay with that. 
The thing that triggered Lucy that hurt him the most was the sound of a tattoo gun. Before Caleb, Lucy loved tattoos, and loved getting tattoos. She had often talked to not only him, but to their fellow officers, about tattoo’s that she wanted and was planning on getting. Tim had known that she had been tattoo’d by Caleb, he saw it when he was in the ambulance with her, and they had moved her shirt in order to do an ECG after she had her third consecutive seizure. His heart had clenched seeing the black ink on her rib cage, and in that moment he had hoped that she was asleep when the tattoo had been done. 
But of course, God must hate him, so she had been awake. Something he had no clue about until Tamara had asked them both to accompany her to her first ever tattoo appointment, where she was also getting a date, the date that the three of them had stood in front of the judge finalizing Lucy and Tim adopting Tamara. 
Lucy said yes immediately, without even thinking. Tim knew why, of course. Tamara had been let down by everyone in her life, and Lucy was determined to never let her down. Tim didn’t think anything of it, and was even thinking of getting his own tattoo, with both Lucy and Tamara’s birthdays. 
Everything was fine until Tamara was lying on the table, her arm out for the tattoo artist, prepped and ready for the ink. The tattoo gun began to buzz, and Lucy tensed up beside him. 
“Are you okay?” Tim said under his breath to Lucy, resting his hand on her knee, his other hand holding Tamara’s free one. 
“Mhm,” She said, eyes locked on the tattoo gun where it was permanently marking up her daughters skin. “Jus’ need to go to the bathroom,” She said, a little louder, and made brief eye contact with Tamara, clearly trying to tell the girl that everything was fine. Tamara nodded, her brows furrowing for a moment, but then relaxing after Lucy left the room. 
Tim waited a few minutes, before following her. “I’m just gonna go check on Mom, okay?” He said to Tamara. “I won’t be gone long.” She nodded, and Tim left the room. 
He looked towards the lobby, and could see Lucy outside, so he immediately joined her, where he found her near tears, looking up into the sky to preserve her makeup. 
“Luce-“ He started to say, but Lucy cut him off. 
“I’m fine.” She said, her voice short. 
Tim shook his head. “No, you’re not.” He said, and grabbed her hand. “You’re not, and that’s okay.” 
Lucy shook her head, and ripped her hand out of Tim’s grip. “No, its not, Tim!” She said, running her hands through her curls. “Because this is just another thing Caleb has taken from me.” She ranted. “I can’t even sit with my daughter while she gets her first tattoo, I-I can’t get any of the tattoo’s that I wanted to get, I can’t even listen to the buzzing noise of the gun because that’s what I woke up to after he took me-“ 
“Oh, Goosey,” Tim said sadly, immediately wrapping her up in his arms. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea you were awake when he did that to you. Had I known that, we could have explained to Tamara why you couldn’t go, or we could have brought your headphones-“ 
“I don’t need them!” Lucy yelled, pulling out of Tim’s arms, and crouching down, covering her ears wit her hands, her eyes squeezing shut. Tim sighed, and sat next to her, being mindful to not touch her until she asked or initiated contact. 
“Yes, you do, Goosey, and thats okay.” He said. “I’m not going to judge you for it, Tamara certainly isn’t going to judge you for it, and any person with more than half a braincell wouldn’t judge you for it. I suggested it because when you do wear them out of the house, you are able to cope better, and that’s all I wanted. And as for him taking the ability to get tattoo’s from you, he didn’t. If you really want to get another tattoo, I’m sure we can find a trauma informed tattoo artist that is willing to work with you on this.” He explained, as he wrapped an arm around her after she removed her hands from her ears, and rested her head on his shoulder. “But it’s entirely up to you, okay?” 
Lucy nodded, and sniffed. Tim kissed her on the head, and helped her stand up. She took a deep breath, and looked towards the tattoo shop door. “We should go back in,” she said, and Tim looked at her. 
“Are you sure you want to?” He asked. “You don’t have to, I can go back in and you can wait in the truck if it’s going to be too hard for you.” 
Lucy shook her head. “No, I-I think I was just a little unprepared, and that’s why it triggered me. I’m prepared to hear the noise, so I’ll be okay.” She said. “Tamara wanted both of us with her and I’m not going to let her down.” She finished, as she led him back inside, and into the room, where the artist was bandaging up Tamara’s tattoo. 
“Can I see it, bubba,” Lucy asked, walking up to Tamara’s side immediately. Tamara holds her arm out, while looking up worriedly at Lucy. 
“Are you okay, Mom?” She asked, and Lucy nodded, running a hand through Tamara’s hair. 
“Yeah, baby, I’m okay.” She said, assuring the teen. “I don’t want you to worry, okay?”
Tamara blinked, her lower lip wobbling slightly. “I’m always going to worry about you,” she whispered. “You’re my mom, and I know I don’t know everything that you went through but I know enough to know that you got triggered. I didn’t even think about that before asking, I’m sorry,” she said, a tear falling from her eye. 
“T,” Tim whispered, moving to her head and pressing a kiss to her head as he sat next to her on the table. “It’s okay. I don’t think any of us really thought about it.” He assured her, and Lucy nodded, sitting on the table as well. 
“Yeah. It did trigger me, but I removed myself from the situation, worked through what I was feeling, and then prepared myself to come back. It’s okay, I promise.” She said, cupping Tamara’s cheek, and rubbing her thumb back and forth. 
“Okay,” Tamara said, and as soon as Lucy seemed to be sure that Tamara was okay, she turned back and looked at the tattoo. “I love it, baby,” She said. 
“Me, too.” Tim said, smiling down at his daughter.
“Now,” Lucy said, smiling up at Tim. “Your dad just needs to get one, and we’ll be all inked up.” 
Tim shook his head but laughed along with his girls. 
Lucy wasn’t fully healed from Caleb, but Tim was going to do everything in his power to make sure that one day, she would be. Caleb had taken a lot from her, but Tim was going to make sure that she was able to reclaim what he had taken, no matter the cost.

I just wanna know, what other fandoms do you like other then Kirby?
Oh thanks for asking!! In terms of fandoms I’m really just active here in the Kirby world right now. And it’s been just lovely. But in terms of other things I like, I have lots :D
Is this a good excuse to show off my figure and pin collection and talk about the other stuff I like? I’m going to take it. If that’s something interesting to you I’ll throw it under the cut here. :D
Tumblr media
(I’ve redacted some pins from my personal life that are not fandom relevant) but here’s my little pin tapestry! It’s a work in progress but I love collecting pins!! It’s not the best photo but if anyone genuinely wants to see an individual pin or charm up close just ask :P
So just from this tapestry, I’ve got Kirby of course. And Kingdom Hearts as I’ve mentioned before. But I also play Genshin (as a Childe main hehe), love me some Star Wars (I need to watch the second season of Bad Batch I am just nervous for these characters lol), Jojo, Animal Crossing (Stitches is my favorite villager! Who’s yours?), SpongeBob (I am capable of an entire conversation made up of old SpongeBob quotes), Game Grumps/Starbomb, and up there near the top right is an Ava’s Demon pin from its first Kickstarter, and uhhh -coughing- a Homestuck pin from like 2013 -cough- I took the classpect quiz back then and I was a Mage of Breath plus John is my favorite character
Oh- and along the bottom it’s hard to see but I also really like Steven Universe, Undertale, Our Flag Means Death, Good Omens (not pictured but I hope to own some merch soon), and Breath of the Wild (haven’t gotten to the rest of the series yet but I’m interested in it!)
Here’s some more Kingdom Hearts and also Monsters Inc which I LOVE SO MUCH! Monsters University is my favorite Pixar movie, it’s very sentimental to me. Can’t believe I get to live in a world where Sora meets Mike and Sulley <3
Also my prized Keyblade Conductor Batons that I got at the KH Orchestra tours and are among my most cherished possessions of my life :’)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally just another little display. I’ve collected Sorcerer Mickey stuff for a long time. Fantasia had a big impact on me when I watched it as a kid. And also a little lone Mami Tomoe figure who is my favorite from Madoka Magica , and was the first anime I ever watched. (One heck of an intro to the anime scene right??? Lol)
And finally there’s other stuff I’m really into that aren’t pictured like Pokémon and Fnaf and probably lots of others. I do love me some Pokémon tho. Dragonite is my favorite!!!!!! :D
Anyway there’s a little peek into the other stuff I like hehehe. There’s plenty more I’m not thinking of- I just enjoy a lot of media and stories!!

Wanna spout some headcanons here.
1. All the Greek demigods can speak Greek and speak it to eachother quite frequently when in public with mortals and sometimes forget to switch back to English when speaking with mortals (same goes for the Romans and latin)
2. CHB has an 'ancient day, where they dress up in togas and ancient Greek clothing and vote on who gets to 'rule the empire's for the day and wear the appropriate clothes. They also do a trivia quiz on myths in the amphitheater and whoever wins chooses capture the flag teams.
3. I'm pretty sure I remember something about harpies or something going after the campers who go outside after hours (pls correct me if I'm wrong about that) but also the Hermes cabin made a game of who can stay out the longest and they sometimes barge into random cabins and the other campers are just uses to it by now. Stoll brothers hold the record for now.
4. Percy sometimes pranks his friends by changing the temp of their shower water by turning it cold bc the cold can't hurt them but might shock them but he always makes sure that they're okay afterward if he feels something went wrong
5. Whenever Thalia and the hunters come around, they go all out in the capture the flag game. Thalia, Percy and Annabeth always go after eachother more than they go after the flag just to mess with eachother. Like they'll have a clear opportunity to get the flag but they'll still go after eachother if they have the chance.
6. There's some kind of bank at CHB that can trade drachma for American dollars in case someone wants to go out into the world and don't have money.
7. Since it's a strawberry farm to mortals, some would hear about it and then try to pick some strawberries but Chiron has to tell them that they can't do that and sends the very disappointed mortals on their way. This happens at least once a year.
8. Hephaestus cabin made a special chariot that acts as a car but gets pulled around by horses or pegasi and so some demi-gods can learn to drive on the chariot course and they sometimes set up obstacles like Canada's worst driver style
9. Percy likes to take the new campers swimming and he "drowns" and then the new kid goes to someone telling them that percy drowned but everyone just doesn't care and is slightly confused by what they're saying
10. If percy had a job, he'd work at an aquarium and defend that animals like "I don't think he likes the sardines you're feeding him." And he'd tell the fish to troll the trainers and people and fail shows for laughs
11. (Thus is a joke one) percy is the reason the orcas are attacking boats. Because people over fish the waters and fish are friends, not food

so here's the thing, your post didn't describe fiction affecting reality but manipulation from others or even grooming
you should know this: all ships are valid. Your 13 year old self did nothing wrong. Being manipulated / groomed into saying "I was wrong for liking a ship" is extremely worrying. Grooming also doesn't have to be sexual, it is essentially someone with power taking advantage of a vulnerable person (you) by posing themselves as their protector/mentor/whatever
other red flags to look out for are things like being told you "deserved to be mistreated because you gave into sin" and being praised if you "have given up that sin and thus changed for the better" because this is the kind of manipulation tactic you find in religious cults.
Here are some sources on how to spot grooming and the difference between an adult who means well and a predator
https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/what-is-grooming
https://safekidsthrive.org/the-report/introduction/other-warning-signs/
https://www.splcenter.org/peril-guide-online-youth-radicalization
and here is a safety PSA to spot grooming in fandom communities
http://web.archive.org/web/20240815114926/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GTtAK2qWwAApG8c?format=png&name=4096x4096
If you are still friends with these kind of people, I suggest you take a long look at them and ask yourself if your relationship is healthy. Pro-tip: if they still control what you are/aren't allowed to like, if they tell you that you are a bad person because of your past/present fictional interests, then the relationship is unhealthy and these people can and will drop you the moment you don't act in the way they want you to
be safe
I made a quiz about my favorite ships. One of those was that proship. I had a comment one time that was like:
"totally agree with all of these except blank"
"oh why not?"
"well, they're brothers"
"not by blood, but okay"
And my day went on. Another time I went over to a friend's house (who is of the same age as me) to chat with her, and she didn't know anything about this media at all, so it was mostly just me gushing my love about it. She did however, know these two characters were siblings, and brought up concerns that it was weird to ship them. Again, I claimed it wasn't, we went on with our days
I started to realize that I was in the wrong when not only did I think about these two experiences, but I started watching more of the media itself, which clearly put them as brothers. That's not grooming, that's called growing from a kid bc kids often don't know what is right or wrong. They learn from it. It's natural to ship problematic things when you're younger bc you don't know it's problematic, and it's only through interacting with the media and other fans do you start learning. From what I've seen, most pro-shippers are never told no and are given content that reinforces their beliefs. They usually don't interact with the fandom or distance themselves from the piece until later. This makes them think that the ship is perfectly okay. Telling someone no is not grooming
Not all ships are valid if they reinforce toxic behaviors and/or mirror real-life problems. To be told that shipping siblings is bad is not grooming and I am astounded you actually think that. What the actual fuck

Girlies, I have your Summer Planned
No joke, I'm really excited about this. It's pretty close to the end of the academic year, so I'm pushing this fine, I know... BUT we can make it work! You also do this at any stage in the year, and you can break it up over time because it is a big one!
Acadeca: Academic Decathalon
Girlies, I know you're all as pro-learning as me, and I KNOW you're as competative, do not lie to me. Like, this is for fun... but I also suggest a points system. But just imagine competative learning with your besties! Here're all my thoughts- and here's the long post warning because I remembered the keep reading!
I’m not gonna lie, queens, I learned that the United States Academic Decathalon was even a thing because of My Little Pony. I watched The Friendship Games and I was like “on one hand, fun, on the other hand, what high school is letting kids do motocross?” Anyway, for my fellow non-Americans, the AcaDeca has ten events: art, economics, essay, interview, language and literature, math, music, science, social science, and speech.
Get a group together, and each of you can set a couple of challenges to earn points over a set period.
As adults, we probably all have jobs, but you could make it a monthly thing or something like that, and have a Christmas night out where you announce the winner.
If you’re setting the challenges yourself, they do not have to be the ones listed above.
The My Little Pony list was as follows
Science (experimnt unclear, but Explosion=Bad)
Baking
Birdhouse building
Spelling Bee
Maths (solve this ungodly equation)
Relay Leg One a): Obstacle Course
Relay Leg One b): Archery
Relay Leg Two: Roller Derby
Relay Leg Three: Motocross
Scavenger Hunt/Capture the Flag
Can I reiterate: what high school is letting kids do motocross? I think taking the lists here as Inspiration Only might be wise.
Suggestions I have, some from the offical list and the My Little Pony list, some my own
Karaoke/Lip Sync
Art
Normal Relay Race and/or obstacle course
Spelling Bee
Bake-Off
Languages
Dance
Quiz
Capture the Flag
Essay
Anyways, have fun, contribute your own ideas too!

ok so my days at home i have had lots of time to think and these er my thoughts so far!
i will never give up my last name when i get married, my parents named me based off of my last name. i will only take someone’s last name if its smth cool
my friend really likes to put me down to make HER look cooler 😗
ok so at my school you will be harassed if your not like anyone else but by their standards im weird but nobody bothers me 🤨 i have made a few theories about that. first, my friend told me i tend to be friendly to everyone so nobody would wanna bother me. second, its almost like that manic pixie dream girl catwgory that has been made by the internet. maybe. THIRD! not my theory but my friend said it would probably suck to be my nemesis (her words) because im friends with everyone (i just know everyone lol) . FOURTH! its cus im not the standard of weird in my school. in my school weird is “emo” “furry” “gay” very irritating that its considered WEIRD cus urgh. this kid was running around with a pride flag and someone ripped it off of them :/ gery rude if u ask me! anyays, i orobably just dont fit tha5 standard
i relate to so manh of my fab characters
i havw tp have a heart to heart talk to my friend cus we havent been seeing eye to eye lately but thats ok
why the actual heck is my friend tryna diagnose me with stuff every single day. “i think ur autisticm take rhis quiz!” “i think u have adhd, take this quiz!” HELLO? why am i being forved into taking these quizzzes?
ive been very irritable lately

Do you really see no chemistry between DT and GT? I see lots, personally. I even remember watching that DW episode she guested in, in its original run, and thinking "wait a minute, the Doctor and his cloned daughter look like they're about ready to kiss, cool it off kids". As an example check out their New Year's quiz video, it's like an hour & a half, and I thought they came across very well there as a couple. All warm and inside-jokey & GT even cracked her 'cool' facade a couple of times lol.
Hi, Anon! Thank you for writing in to share your thoughts. I hope I didn’t wrongly give the impression that I see no chemistry between David and Georgia, because that is not the case at all. I do see chemistry between them, for sure...it’s just a different kind of chemistry to what I see between Michael and David.
One thing I think we sometimes forget is that there is a difference between on-screen chemistry and off-screen. Georgia and David certainly seem to have chemistry off-screen, but I’m not sure how well that translates to on camera. Georgia herself has said that at least one casting director told her she was not a “convincing partner” for David on screen. Casting directors are literally paid to notice and capitalize on chemistry between actors, so that’s not nothing.
And I did indeed see the New Year’s Doctor Who Quiz video from two years ago, which was certainly funny and charming. This here was my favorite moment in particular, both because of what Georgia said (which seemed to be a not-so-thinly veiled reference to Michael) and David’s hilarious double-take reaction. I know it is no easy feat to host an event like that for nearly two hours, and to keep the banter and back-and-forth going without having either person’s energy flag, and I imagine that would be a hundred times more difficult if there wasn’t any chemistry between them, so kudos to David and Georgia for that.
But then we have these two pictures of David and Michael (**Warning: Spoilers for Staged 3 ahead. Proceed at your own discretion):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All that’s happening in these pictures is one little touch...and yet it is absolutely electric. There’s no video here, no dialogue, no context beyond David touching Michael, but you can see the chemistry between them, which is so strong it’s nearly palpable.
That’s an extraordinary thing. “Rare” doesn’t even begin to describe it, in my opinion--it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing that we would all be so lucky to experience in our own lives. Magic. The magic that Neil Gaiman talked about Michael and David making when they got back into the roles of Aziraphale and Crowley for GO season 2. That is what I see in these pictures, and no matter how many times I see Michael and David together, I am continuously blown away by it.
So I hope that helps to explain my position a bit better, and my feelings on the chemistry between David and Georgia. Thanks for writing in! x

was the family you baby sat last summer that bad? (lmao im curious and new)
this is actually an oddly long story lol
yeahhhhh, like they weren't like the worst people in the world but uh. so i met them at a pub quiz in like late august and we overheard them discussing that they didn't have a babysitter for two days time. so i offered to help out since i've babysat large families before and i've been a girl guide leader and a football referees, so i can generally handle rowdy kids.
they tell me they have a seven year old and two five year old twins, and then the mum is currently pregnant whilst the dad works at home. so usually one of the parents would be in the house with me, but busy or unable to help out. and i'd be paid £10 an hour. a pretty good deal for just babysitting. he also asked if i wanted to bring my own dinner or eat what would be cooked for the kids. i agreed to have the meal there just bc it made things easier for me.
so i arrive at 4pm on the friday and meet the dad and the cleaner, who it turns out used to nanny for them, but now refuses to. she literally hands me a note as she leaves that says "don't let them manipulate you" and it's hard to tell if the them she's referring to is the parents or the kids.
the seven year old and the mum are currently out and about, so it's just me and the twins. the twins are in the garden and my first introduction to them is me getting sprayed with the hose whilst the dad watches. the dad scolds them, but they pay him no mind and then he gets back to work.
they then throw a tantrum spray me with water again and the next hour or so is a cycle of me trying to distract them and failing. the mum and the seven year old arrive back during this time as well.
the dad then calls them in for dinner and i'm like oh cool dinner time for me. and then he starts cooking and turns to me and goes, the kids are having tomato pasta for dinner.
okay, so i'm cooking for the kids. that's fine, it's pasta, i've done cooking for kids i've babysat before. i probably would have charged a little more per hour if it's 3 kids and cooking, but oh well. then he doesn't tell me where the pasta and stuff are, whilst he proceeds to cook spaghetti for him and his wife. idk if it's just bc i'm an only child, but i find it such a red flag when parents refuse to contemplate eating with their kids. but yeah whatever, i cook for the kids and myself and it's Fine. they take a little convincing to eat, but whatever.
he then goes oh it's bath time for the twins. and i'm like yeah cool, i assume you're doing that, bc you know you met me two days ago in a pub and you don't know if my child safeguarding qualifications are real. but he doesn't move and he says, oh you're bathing the kids.
huh?
that seems a little extreme, but whatever it's just the twins. i try to get them to wash, they throw a tantrum, whatever. i was not vibing with the fact that i was looking at two naked five year old boys up close, but whatever. surely the seven year old will be able to wash himself? i certainly was at that age.
no.
i then have to put them all to bed bc that's another battle, despite the fact that their parents are literally in the house.
but it's fine.
they then ask if i can do it again next week. i don't really want to, but i don't have anymore jobs nailed down. plus they'd be back at school so maybe they'd be worn out and easier to manage.
it's the same again, but it's Fine.
then i do it a third time. i really don't want to. the queen has been dying all day and i figure ig she dies before i leave to go, then babysitting will be cancelled. it's the worst time yet. i'm swearing that i'll never do it again. and then the queen is announced to have died whilst i'm bathing the kids naked in the bath.
everyone talks about where they were when the queen died. i was fighting two five year olds who were spraying me with a broken shower and trying to climb out the bathroom window.
plus i won't even mention the fact that they asked me to babysit on christmas eve. nor the fact that they also asked me to babysit in june, six months in advance in the same call. like no because a) they'd just had a newborn and i have no experience with kids under the age of 4 b) no because i wasn't back from uni c) no because it was mum's birthday d) no because your kids are the literal worst
so yeah.

I need a Percy Jackson game that opens to you just normal kid things and then suddenly Monster and hey that character you've been hanging with all day is a satyr and now you're heading to camp and the game cuts to you taking a quiz to find out your godly parents.
And yes there is the smallest percentage chance you could get one of the big three, but you have to answer just the right way and then it's rng between that and a more common god that also fits.
You just run around camp playing capture the flag, you can insult the gods if you want, and go on quests with your demigod friends.

Ireland-Day 2
Today was a chill day. I had to supervise the students after the meals and do the roll-calls during lessons. The students are getting used to listening to me, which is a blessing for my voice and the flow of the classes.
I was also tasked with preparing the social activity of today's evening, a quiz about the contents of last week's classes; country flags, famous people and general knowledge questions. The quiz itself was great fun, the kids were all put into groups of 4 and us supervisors rarely had to get them to speak English. The students were excited about the prizes and many groups scored over 90% on the quizzes (though obviously everyone got some prizes and the quiz was ungraded).
Other than that there was very little that happened today. I'll do the nighttime rollcalls after I post this and go straight to bed afterwards. Tomorrow will be exciting as I will be hosting another elective activity in the evening, most likely the board games. However, there is also and Irish dancing class scheduled, would be fun if I got to join that.
Other than that there is little to write about, so I'll just wrap it up with my song of the day; Go To Sleep by Bearson and Kailee Morgue. It was a slow day and other than during the supervision and the meals I did very little with other people, I think it fits the vibe quite well.
