#Lily in the Bathroom

[inevitablemoment]

Lily Tully in the Bathroom by Herself

Okay, so, I don't know if I've actually talked about Lily, one of my Ghostbusters OCs.

So, in the Cathleen Lives AU, Lily Tully is the daughter of Janine Melnitz and Louis Tully. She's born not too long after the couple follows Egon, Cathleen, and their daughters to Summerville, and grows up as one of Marie's (Egon and Cathleen's youngest daughter born at the end of GB2 in this AU) only friends.

When the OG Ghostbusters reconcile and the Spenglers return to New York, Lily struggles to find her place among the slowly-reassembling family, especially as Ray and Willow's eldest daughter, Addison, isn't too keen on letting the Spenglers back into her family's lives. It all comes to a head at their first Thanksgiving dinner together in a long time at Winston and Tiyah's penthouse, as will be depicted in a later fic that I've had the idea for quite a while, but I'm going to wait until the new movie comes out to fully plan out.

Lyrics are below; if you want a voice reference, her FC is Mariah Rose Faith Casillas from Team StarKid (just picture her look as Melissa from the Hatchetfield series).

LILY: I am hanging in the bathroom In the Zeddemore penthouse hall I could stay right here or disappear, And nobody'd even notice at all

Just a comms major in the bathroom 'Cause the Spenglers went and left me alone So I'd rather fake pee than eat awkwardly And watch the Macy's Parade on my own

Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there

Now I'm just Lily in the bathroom Lily in the bathroom on Thanksgiving Shrinking so I'm not seen Just Lily in the bathroom, Lily in the bathroom on Thanksgiving All thanks to Auntie Cathleen I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave And picking at grout as I softly grieve

I'm just Lily who you don't know Lily flyin' solo Lily in the bathroom by herself All by herself

I am hiding, but they're out there, rediscovering this cool history Memories found but erased, and I'll get replaced With some newer, smarter versions of me

And I hear my dad singing acapella through the door "Who ya gonna call?" And my feelings sink, 'Cause it makes me think Now the girls and I can't make fun of our dads anymore

Now I'm just Lily in the bathroom Lily in the bathroom on Thanksgiving Ma says to face my fears Lily in the bathroom, Lily in the bathroom on Thanksgiving But I can't help the tears I'll wait as long as I need, 'til my face is dry Or I'll blame Kelly's weed, or Aunt Willow's burnt pie

I'm just Lily who you don't know Lily flyin' solo Lily in the bathroom by herself

LILY & KELLY: Knock, knock, knock, knock

KELLY: Hey, I need to use the bathroom

LILY & KELLY: Knock, knock, knock, knock

LILY: Of course, yeah, I'll be out soon

LILY & KELLY: Knock, knock, knock, knock

LILY: It sucks, they left me all alone

LILY & KELLY: Knock, knock, knock, knock

LILY: Here in this family drama zone

LILY & ENSEMBLE: Clang, clang, clang, clang!

LILY: I feel the pressure creepin' in

LILY & ENSEMBLE: Bang, bang, bang, bang!

LILY: I should've stayed at Hampton Inn

LILY & ENSEMBLE: Splash, splash, splash, splash!

LILY: I throw some water in my face And I am in a better place I go to open up the door But I can't hear knocking anymore

And I can't help but yearn for the good old times And then I look in the mirror And the present is clearer And there's no denying, I'm just

Lily in the bathroom, Lily in the bathroom On Thanksgiving My trauma, I'll downplay Lily in the bathroom, Lily in the bathroom on Thanksgiving Still not my worst holiday

I wished I stayed home in bed, 'cause I'm a worthless cog And my claim to fame is that my dad was once a dog!

I'm just Lily, Taylor Swift fan Latecoming Hugh Dancy stan Won't stay in the background Must forge my own path now Lily flyin' solo Who you'll say that you know Lily in the bathroom by herself All by herself All by herself!

All you know about me is my name Lovely dinner, I'm so glad I came

Prompt: "What? Where?!" (Discord Drabble)

"Steve," Eddie says, giving a weary look as he smoothes his hands over his jacket.

Not that the leather would actually crumple. But he does suspect Steve stepped on it at some point.

"What?" Steve hums, palming at his polo.

He needn't worry, the thing is so tight it naturally irons itself out.

"Your hair!" Eddie warns, eyeing the great mess atop his boyfriend's – somewhat flushed – noggin.

"What?" Steve whips around to look in the mirror of Claudia Henderson's powder room, "Where?!"

Eddie can actually see Steve's brain catch up to the hair catastrophe at hand, a recoiling shiver running through his body.

He opens his mouth to laugh but instead finds himself yelping at the distinct sound of Dustin squabbling with his mother in the kitchen. Eddie clamps his hand over the door handle, heart picking up speed again. They were supposed to be out on the back patio!

His mind races through a myriad of excuses as he stares at the pink tiles encasing them.

Claudia's disapproval! Wanye's reaction. A fast-approaching, chastising "Boy!" from the old man...

Dustin's inevitable disgust and cacophonous laughter...

He rolls his eyes as he looks up at Steve's reflection. He'd meant a quick fix-up, a combing of fingers through hair.

Not Steve meticulously picking at individual strands in efforts to reconstruct his signature coif.

They both scream at a banging on the bathroom door.

S01, E05: When the Heat Comes Down — dir. Quinn Shephard

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

She said she wants to do another time of 1000 men in 24 hours.. honestly sick. sexual self harm I feel terrible for her and disgusting by what she's perpetuating

I heard about that, and agreed.

She's the type of victim who doesn't realise that her dissociation and distress are caused by sexual exploitation, and, although she'd benefit from a feminist movement that helps her make the connection and start developing a healthier attitude towards sex, she's instead being told that she's empowered, that she's strong, and that her natural human reaction to sexual exploitation will pass with time.

And, in failing to realise she's a victim, and in failing to confront that her actions literally are just sexual self-harm, she's helping to maintain the cycle. Someone on here said it better, but they were right: men don't care why women do something, they just care that they get to have an orgasm.

So yes, everyone agrees that Remus Lupin is the tallest of the Marauders

however I am telling you rn that Remus has the WORST fucking posture. it’s horrible.

he’s always slouched over with his shoulders drawn in on himself, therefore at first glance he looks the same height as Sirius and James

it’s a self esteem thing. he doesn’t want people to be intimidated by him, with his scars and outwardly quiet nature, he doesn’t wanna be seen as the monster he thinks he is. so he makes himself small. it was more of a subconscious then conscious thing that eventually turned into a habit.

in 7th year and after he graduates he starts to correct the way he stands, and inadvertently raises his self esteem in the process. he’s surrounded by people he loves and that love him. he doesn’t have to fear himself.

needless to say, when he starts teaching at hogwarts, students noticed that their new defense teacher stood with a strange slouch in his spine.

have just realised, with my characterisations of the gryffindor girls, aroace mary is stuck in a dorm with very romantically and sexually active roommates. marlene dating every sapphic around their age and bringing them to the dorms to hangout/makeout. lily doesn't really date much, but she snogs a lot of people. emmeline is pretty much the same, but when she does date then they tend to go to her dorm to makeout as well. and then my added hc about lily and marlene having a very friends with benefits type thing. and emmeline having a huge crush/one-sided rivarly on lily and lily snogs her to shut her up. like i'm suddenly feeling bad for mary here. girl is so sex and romance repulsed, other than with fictional romance which she absolutely loves. she is in dire need of spending time with peter (on the aromantic spectrum) and sirius (asexual spectrum).

It took me, ugh, MONTHS (2), to get to cleaning the two shrimp tanks I have... I had IRL issues going on that would have made it extremely difficult to do a water change especially while injured, and I just had to keep putting it off. It's just shrimp, so it wasn't like, the worst situation, especially since I have established plants and the tanks are a couple years old. There was just a lot of algae build-up on the glass, and, well... Let me just say it was not contributing to my mental health and well-being while the tanks were in that state.

I tested the water before I started cleaning and the parameters were fine (like, I could have left the tanks even longer if I would be okay with selling my soul to the Algae Collective), and the plants and shrimp look fine, too (I mean, I've obviously been keeping an eye on the tanks bc I sit right next to them). Actually, I'd wager to say that the plants are looking really great (the lilies haven't died off [yet? This is the longest period of time I've seen them stay... foliage... fol... foliated? Idk.] and the cryptocoryne in the 10gal is fucking huge and needs to be rearranged, just not right now). That fucking algae was a motherfucker to get off the 10gal (it's a plastic tank and I think that makes the algae grip harder than the glass 5gal).

[Also, fyi, depending on the tank's needs and stability, recommended water changes are a small one every week or every other week. My parameters don't seem to do anything dramatic, so I usually aim for a 20-30% water change every third week (just depends on how much vacuuming needs to be done and how cooperative the shrimp are with moving aside). So 2 months is still a lot. I still did the normal 30% ish amount, since doing more will risk the shrimp's well-being if there's a sudden change in everything, and my water parameters indicated a change was unnecessary - but I don't test for more than the minimum freshwater tests, so there could be a buildup of some mineral I'm not testing for, which is why the change IS actually necessary regardless of what my test kit says - because these tanks were evaporating a lot in summer, it condenses the minerals added with each water addition, even tho I usually top up with R.O. water.]

My back is fucking killing me lol. It has been killing me since spring when it 'went out' for the first time, and I'm not getting any relief, it sucks. But this had to be done.

The 5gal is looking pretty cloudy still, since the filter was super gunked up and I accidentally spilled gunk back in, so I may need to retest the 5gal parameters tomorrow just to make sure I don't have to do another water change, but it'll probably be fine, right? Shrimp love mulm and detritus. I did give both tanks a big ole algae tab for their trouble, tho. (I need a fuckening dish for the big tank. I really wanna clean off that white quartz rock again, but being white means it's an algae magnet, and it's just gonna go green again after a month or two.)

Anyway, shrimp tax:

I lov thees widdle oange bebies.

Wish I could take better pictures rn, but I am. Like. Dying. My recommendation: never live in an A-frame style room if you have the option. The wall above my tanks is slanted, and NOT fun for my back to bend underneath the wall for maintenance. (My only flat wall in the room is for my TV/PC.) Also, treat your back nicely, in general. I unfortunately have not had the option to treat my back nicely since spring (fall now), because 'when it rains it pours,' and heavy shit that needs to be moved will not move itself. Once I get a few more things in my room in order, I will hopefully be done with the IRL chaos, bc I have Halloween socks to knit, and I'm not putting that off for another year. (I'm still mad that I couldn't make the ones I planned last year. And I found more Halloween yarn I forgot I bought, so I'm gonna try to make multiple socks.) And I just really need to fucking chill and knit and stop having panic attacks and meltdowns.
