I feel such a need to parent thistle but I am not equipped to deal with a normal mentally stable child, let alone someone with his issues
you're in luck! even though i do interpret him as being a teenager, i don't think he needs a parent and i don't think he would appreciate being treated like a child (even though he is one!) or having king freinag 'replaced' like that.
a parental figure wouldn't be any better suited for helping thistle than someone outside that role, and there is an aspect of authority/'i know better than you' that i can't help but associate with Parenting. that is the last thing he needs! i think he needs friends on equal standing with him, and to be treated like a human being with his own desires instead of like an empty vessel who has to live for others' sakes.
#i understand wanting a kinder childhood for him and in many minds that comes with having a parent. but is that really what is best for him?#this is a very nitpicky pet peeve but i dislike the impulse to place him in the 'child' role in w/e 'found family' arrangement#not to slam the 'no fun allowed' sign deeper into the earth but...#also you're all good anon LOL#this concept just unleashes a lot of thoughts whenever i consider it#my words

most of all i hate the govt for letting everyone in our parents generation drink lead contaminated water so that i (uncontaminated) have to deal with my parents and in laws completely insane unhinged detached from reality decision making and thought processes
#im not being mean they are fucking insane#my mom asking me to drag my toddler across the ocean in a 20 hour plane ride and complete time flip to attend a wedding#and this is only a few weeks after im supposed to move my entire family and all my things across the country??? are you out of your fucking#meanwhile my mother in law is like hey can you drive your toddler 6 hours in one day to see me for an hour so i can show off my grandkid in#front of my fuckass bitch family who is in town for god knows what#are you both out of your minds???? what the fuck is wrong with you all??????????????????#fuck!!#imagine being so selfish that you don’t even see how unreasonable all this is lol like yeah im gonna put my toddler through all this when#nobody’s visiting her or calling to ask how she is she’s not a fucking accessory or a pet she is a person#fuck the world#also my parents put me through so much as a kid to visit people and travel and i was miserable I am NOT putting her through that too#they are useless#fuck the govt fuck the boomers fuck the world goodbye

its so hard to talk about how traumatic it is to watch somebody be claimed by dementia without going "well i cant complain because at least i wasnt the one losing my mind (for now)" but that shit fucks you up so much. that ghost is going to haunt me for the rest of my life and all i can do is hope it Stays a ghost
#tiddytaco#b#thinking about it rn bc today while i was driving my mom home from pt#she saw someone she knew from years ago driving & was like FOLLOW THAT CAR & we met them in a parking lot#& the conversation turned to 'hey what the hell happened to your parents' pretty quickly bc our families hadnt been in touch#& it was a long conversation in the hobby lobby parking lot#& idk if itll ever Stop being fresh in my mind but now its Extra fresh in my mind#that whole time period was just so insane & awful#bc it was like Ok we're caring for both grandparents#& then my grandpa died#& all our pets at the time were very old#& when he died it occurred to me that we could easily lose both grandparents and all 3 pets within the year#it turned out to be like a long drawn-out year & a half from the first to the last#& looking back it seems impossible that is was that short a time period bc it felt like an eternity#we got off easy with grandpa bc he died before it got too bad but with grandma it just kept getting Worse#& the climax of the caring experience was traveling to take her to my uncle bc he wanted to take his shift caring for her#& that was so . So bad. SO bad#like it literally could not have gone more smoothly and it was SO bad#just thinking about it i feel like im there again i get so stressed out

Recently bought the chickens a rat-proof feeder because the world's biggest pack of rats has moved in and I've had enough. Training the chickens to use it is going well, if slowly. (It would be a lot faster if I still lived with my chickens, or at least lived closer than 30 minutes away... 😅 I can't be there all the time to work with them.)
Midnight, however, refuses to engage with the thing and instead stands next to it looking cranky while she watches the young'uns eat.
#unfortunately the seller forgot to send me the part that makes the door close softly 🙄 he'll send it soon tho#it would definitely be easier to teach the chickens that this contraption is safe if it didn't slam closed#it would probably also be easier if they'd ever eaten out of a feeder of any sort ever in their lives 😅#midnight has been eating off the ground for 11 years and doesn't seem keen to eat out of some newfangled noisy tin can#but hopefully it'll get easier#if the chickens get hungry enough they'll eat out of anything i figure#anyway the star of these training sessions is definitely tofu. she's very shy so i didn't expect her to try it so quick but#apparently she'll do anything for bread scraps!#midnight#tofu#crow#oh yeah more quick notes#the front panel on the feeder is open in these photos bc i was still in the process of adjusting the spring tension#also I've since rearranged the bricks so it's easier for the chickens to stand in front of it#i reeeeally hope this works bc. you guys. the rats are SO bad#i was at the end of my rope i was seriously almost ready to simply get rid of all the chickens i was so stressed#things haven't been easy for me regarding all my animals i had to leave behind when i moved. i miss them every day#I'm also so not used to living in a house without a single animal. I've always had pets around til now#i want a cat but I'm holding out hope that i can convince my parents to give me MY cat. my dad refused to let me take her#and I'm worried about her. she needs more specialized care and she will never receive it in that house#sigh anyway. i have a lot on my mind

Tuvok and his pet, Torabru-fo. (+ matchmaker's notes)
#Torabru-fo is part of a species of tortoise whose markings look similar to makeup#they're called 'thousand year ladies' bc they're rumored to live for a thousand years - though it's more like 400#So Torabru-fo was actually Tuvok's mother's father's pet who was passed down#and in my mind she's still alive in canon - though very old! Lives at his parents' house#Tuvok's 'real' childhood pet was a sehlat named Wari but his father thought the tortoise would make him stand out more#Tuvok#st voyager#st voyager art#bea art tag#picturing that Vulcan children usually have a lot of extracurriculars or indiosyncratic skills#bc their parents want to put as much as they can on their matchmaking file or whatever it is - if they don't have familial prestige#Kal-Toh lessons :/ vs Kal-Toh lessons taught by a Vulcan master :O !!!!!

Out of the Dai characters who would be most likely to find a baby, who would be most likely to adopt said baby, who would be most likely to find a baby animal, and who would be most likely to adopt said baby animal?
Cole, Cole, Cole, and... yeah Cole :p
#but I think he'd try to find the baby a better home#rather than keeping it forever#Cole's adoption services would likely be a huge success#nobody can screen potential parents/pet owners better than someone who can read their mind

i think my love for masc titles over fem might come from major general olivier armstrong,, like when they all call her sir??
#that’s so affirming i love her for that#rewatching fma brotherhood has opened my eyes to a LOT#like i present fem and use she/her pronouns sure. but i hate being called miss or like woman or mum or ma’am etcetcetc#like i was talking to someone at work about my cat and she said ‘ur her mum!’ and it was like sweet the intentions of it but like i#cringed so bad at the term - if anything im her roommate but if i gotta go parental then im her dad#fem terms like that don’t sit well with me#but the masc alternatives do#and im not saying fma caused this but i think subliminally it helped me realise it was Okay to Want it#also saying you’re ur pets mum or dad or whatever isn’t the cringe part of that story like say what you want if it’s cute to you#but i’m also not out at work so i can’t blame her for saying it#and also also i don’t mind like ‘girly’ or ‘me w the girls’ bc it’s meme-y to me it’s like not fully genuine#there’s a gn connotation of using it colloquially#stelle yaps

#I do this thing where I keep comparing myself and my life to other people my age who live like ‘normal lives’ where they live with just#their partner and work decent-ish paying jobs#and don’t live near family/have large family obligations#like I make slightly more than minimum wage#my health stuff had been getting worse#my fiancé is disabled/chronically ill and working her ass off so she doesn’t have excess energy#which leaves a lot of house work on me#which is fine and I don’t mind#and our household is me my fiancé my 23 yo sister and we’ve all lived together for like 3 years now and my sister makes a lot more money &#helps with house stuff#/maintenance#but my younger sister and her 9 month old moved in at the beginning of summer because her baby daddy is a scum bag#and she’s 20 and really mentally unwell#so a lot of baby care falls on me & my fiancé#along with trying to help my sister with her mental health#which is like not normal levels of unwell it’s like serious shit and she’s completely unmedicated and going through a real hard time and not#adjusting to motherhood well cause she was 19 and shouldn’t have had a baby#and like she knows that but what’s done is done#she can’t move back in with my parents because her relationship with them is too fucked#and like there’s also complicated stuff safety and bad ppl in her life so that’s a stress inducing factor#she’s unemployed and I’m not sure will ever be able to work and can’t drive#not her fault just the reality we live in#also we’re the ppl who live closest to my grandmother who’s health has been rapidly declining so a lot of that has fallen on my other sister#and me to manage#I also have to pet sit a lot because I need the money#and when I come home I have to spend all my time getting the house back in order#also I’m about to be losing a days worth of pay starting September cause the kids I nanny are doing two half days a week of prek#which means less money & with these grocery bills and two more mouths to feed is gonna fuck me in the ass#so like yeah I don’t have the time or energy for hobbies I spend all my damn free time trying to keep the house clean or taking care of#The baby & like it’s just the way it is but it’s not comprable to how all the ppl I knew in highschool r living rn

Been seeing posts around proposing Satine and Bo-Katan Kryze as respectively the Star Wars Elsa and Anna...
...given obvious visual and probably other parallels. And I do see what they see, this is the way. But just immediately hilarious to me on another level as Anna endgames with a more working-class dude with 'zero social skills', who starts off as not exactly her favourite person in the universe or at that to be stuck with. And whose dearest companion is assuredly non-human because humans are overrated as at least half the song goes (facts though, Kristoff -- where is the lie). Perfection.
#Way too many candidates out of 3 seasons to be singing Fixer Upper to Bo-Katan...way too many.#And every clan of the Mandalorian diaspora are the trolls.#Saying fixer-upper would be the most diplomatic way of putting the Din Djarin damsel-in-distress era we are in.#Disaster Din#Din Djarin x Bo-Katan Kryze#Din x Bo-Katan#Din-Katan#Din Djarin and Kristoff Bjorgman both be thick boys.#Would Sven be more of a pet though?#Hard to think of him as anything less than family.#Even if more sibling dynamic than anywhere near the sacredness of parent-child.#Olaf and Sven are the brothers-in-law of each half of the family...why am I even secondguessing myself.#Din's zealotry would be more the counterpart for Anna being called out for getting engaged to someone she just met that day though#so gender flip with that.#You can DIE TRYING to redeem yourself to your cult if It's True Love.#enemies-to-friends-to-lovers road trip shenanigans#the Armourer and all the rest would be the Prince Hans equivalent in terms of potential villain reveal then#They better sleep with one eye open for me after possibly sending Din Djarin to his Admiral Akbar trap in the mines of Mandalore.#The entirety of the internet is losing its mind over literally one episode#and I am just chilling here and cackling🍷🍾.#crack for the tag#Thought we could use a little lightheartedness in here given all the incoming infighting in this fandom should this ship sail⚔.#dinbo

not to be a complete sap at six thirty in the fuckin morning but like.
Its been a trip and a half this past what month and a half maybe since i came back to this account? After leaving it over nearly two years ago and expecting not to, especially after everything that happened last year
(can skip over stricken part ♡) ------(finishing degree, brothers dog passing from cancer, moms cancer diagnosis, helping dad be her caretaker and watching her wither over the two months of treatment, family being insufferable and unreliable and still demanding shit from her during that time, the stress of preparing for my graduation and losing her right after, my youngest cat passing)
and the last thing on my mind being trying to write. In spite of mom telling me to get back into it, it was just one of those things where i couldnt really find the push to do so. Grief for my sister twenty years ago gave me the drive to write because she used to write poetry, and grief for mom and my cat-baby had seemingly killed it this time last year.
I really wasnt expecting to come back to tumby to write when i came back here, and i expected that itd be a week before i disappeared into the ether again, but ive genuinely had so much fun this last month and a half writing and chatting over disc - which was also VERY MUCH unexpected because i really never was comfortable with using it or joining servers but im seriously so happy i finally did - with those who have gone on silly lil tangents with me over these silly lil guys on my roster. Who've made all these different lil dynamics with me, for all the boards and the affiliates and all of that.
Ive really had such a good time the last few weeks, its given me a much needed push in terms of getting out of bed yknow? Not letting grief have me in such a chokehold.
And its very much appreciated, truly, to just come on here and be silly and feel welcomed. It's something very much new in spite of being all over the rpc for years. You guys are seriously such a breath of fresh air and im very happy and very lucky i feel being able to write and talk about a game and characters i quite literally have never even played dhudsb
All that to say, ive just been feeling alot more lighter since coming back and alot of its to do with how sweet and lovely and welcoming yall have been.
Before i let myself get any Worse on the sappiness, just leaving a Thank You for yalls patience with me esp this past week tryna get my damn brain back from being lost in luggage sbdjvud vacay brainrot is still lingering but hopefully goes away soon.
Its just been very nice since returning. Yall have been more than lovely vibing with and letting me ramble about muses with near nothing to them that ive yoinked from gun to my others from near non-existant r.pcs like my remakes and trials peeps. And with my little bird.
Im a ridiculously reserved and quiet person and my anxietys got a chokehold still that makes me hesitant in reaching out / talking as often as i wish but i do feel like ive started poking out of that since joining the server. (I also often sort of. Blank out. Time passes me by very strangely and it sometimes comes with me not realizing hrs or at times literal days have passed without me registering it has. So, especially thankyou on being patient with me c;)
Thank you for the last month and a half ♡ its fuckin wild to me that its both been a month already and that its only been a month. Feels like its been simultaneously much longer and much shorter somehow.
#dont mind me woke up a sap like two hrs ago and im eepy#talking about cuteness last night i think turned my brain mushy overnight. its the lingering maria feels sbudbd#also to not cause concern hopefully - i am okay!! i just woke up Sappy ♡ dbudb#and just in case tho i tried to be kinda vague on them and nkt elaborate too much:#pet death cw#parent death cw#cancer cw#vent cw#[ 𝟎𝟎 ] ── * 𝐎𝐎𝐂. { renee. }

i love having a pet interest living in ur head. sometimes im worked up and be like oh i have to think about something i like instead to calm down. and then it works to distract me and i feel like a baby being given a toy. sometimes the distraction is needed to calm down but it makes me more excited but in a positive way so then it doesnt work but its still funny to me
#original nonsense#personal#DOES THIS MAKE SENSE. bro i am the parent handing myself the toy andthe baby taking it. do you get it#first this said pet special interest but i feel a bit weird using terms related to autism if i dont know if im autistic uu__uu#Its my Interest and it is So Special to Me. it just makes sense in my mind but its a more specific phrase than that..
