HEYHEY SIPPY!!! For the ask game, I hope you don't mind me asking for... kind of a lot because I'm really curious jskdkfs but you can cut some out if want to, dw!

🌹♥️♠️⚗️📚🏆 for Siphok and 🌟🤖 for Pin-cha?

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS ᝰ.ᐟ

sippy and riddle are friends! both of them have one thing in common: a stickler for rules. the only difference is that sippy doesn’t follow crazy rules (ex. heartslabyul’s strange traditions!)

fun fact: they both hated each other before the end of book 1 because:

⤷ sippy likes to voice out her opinions, so she gets into a yelling match from time to time with riddle when she disagrees with his behavior. ( “IT’S JUST A TART, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!” 💀 /j but yeah something like that-)

⤷ riddle hates how she doesn’t give two shits about his rule. ( “Nuh-uh.” “What do you mean “Nuh-Uh” ?!?”) and she also defends adeuce when they break the rules, much to their surprise.

at the end of book 1 they both had a truce and became some sort of buddies to each other! they both share an interest in small critters <3

ACE TRAPPOLA & DEUCE SPADE ᝰ.ᐟ

besties for life (adeuce will not admit it) they always go everywhere with each other and grim!

sippy is #1 deuce defender because she kins him😭 so ace rarely wins and argument when she’s around. sippy tutors deuce for history class (more on this later!) and deuce returns the favor by helping her fix things around ramshackle <3

like deuce, sippy bickers a lot with ace but it’s all fun and games. she’s like a tired mom with him (begrudgingly watches his basketball matches because ace insists on it so much, secretly doesn’t mind and enjoys it lmao-). I lowkey see ace as a therapist friend for some reason since he’s usually the voice of reason so she goes to him for advice sometimes! Only for certain occasions though cuz we know how ace is💀 /hj

DIVUS CREWEL ᝰ.ᐟ

#1 dad for sippy. they both go on shopping sprees together (crewel insists on it, because sippy wears the same outfit everyday and it irks him 💀). sippy isn’t the best at potions class so he tutors her privately at times!

crewel designs outfits for sippy sometimes! in the ghost bride event, her suit was tailored to her by crewel.

a short angst scenario for them would be sippy feels bad to see him as a dad because she doesn’t know if crewel sees her as a daughter but he actually feels the same😔.

other than that, sippy got a little more strict because she picked up some habits from crewel (much to adeuce’s dismay😭).

MOZUS TREIN (doesn’t look like him, i know) ᝰ.ᐟ

that one proud grand-uncle (?) TM /j

sippy is likes history classes, so it’s like a breath of fresh air for him in class (“Finally, someone who does not snore every 2 minutes.” /j)

not much to comment on them, but one thing trein dislikes about sippy is that she covers for students who are slacking off in class ( ex. covering grim’s sleeping form with a book) and he’s just like -_- but trein counters that by deducting both her and the other student (who’s mostly grim) participation points💀

ASHTON VARGAS ᝰ.ᐟ

that one crazy and upbeat uncle at family gatherings TM 💀 /j

while sippy is good in athletics, she doesn’t do very well in flying due to a small fear of heights.

⤷ “THE BROOM IS TOO THIN IT CAN’T CARRY MY FATASS!” “LANGUAGE! But no, it *can* hold your weight.”

sippy dreads vargas’s class because he pushes her more than anyone else.

⤷ “lift some more weights! your arms are like noodles!” vargas says, as he dumps some more shit into her arms-

KALIM AL ASIM ᝰ.ᐟ

pin-cha and kalim is like the worst nightmare for jamil, who’s already acting like a single mom who works two jobs who loves her kids and never stops-

yes, they go on carpet rides together🥺💓 pin-cha reminds kalim of one of his siblings back at home so they hit it off pretty well!

jamil is a little weirded out how well pin-cha is good at household chores but is also secretly relieved (and concerned) how pin-cha is babysitting kalim and not the other way around /hj

CHEKA KINGSCHOLAR ᝰ.ᐟ (NOT A SHIP ART!!)

RRAAAGHSGSHHSHGSHSG FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS CHEKAAAAA!! THEY’RE BESTFRIENDS, YOUR HONOR😭✨

cue leona thanking the gods for giving cheka someone to play with so he can finally nap in peace LMAO

cheka drags pin-cha away from his cleaning duties in rsa! the headmage of rsa adores them both (happy grandpa noises) <3

cheka enjoys when pin-cha shows his unique magic, summoning little spirits around to play with them. it’s like having extra friends to play!

yes, they both call leona “unca”💀 leona had to call sippy over to help him babysit them both (an excuse to be with her I MEAN WHAAATTT⁉️ I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK, TARU!!💖💖 SO SORRY FOR THE LATE AND VERY LONG REPLY😭🙏 I had a lot of fun with this ask though I can’t find the link to the OG post anymore :((

I swear this whole post looks like some character who is liked by everybody but I promise you it’s not the case😭 she just has a good impression on the professors AHUSHSUGSYSI BUT ANYWAY I’ll list some characters who doesn’t like sippy (but i’ll leave the reasoning out for now👀)

⤷ ruggie

⤷ sebek

⤷ idia

⤷ jamil (kinda like a hate-neutral relationship?)

With that said, thank you again for the ask!!🥺💖🫶🫶

Liv McKenzie and/or Charlie Walker for the character thing!

ohhh the blorbos...

liv mckenzie:

what i like: first of all she is fine as HELL- who said that! anywho. well her look is definitely part of it bc aside from being down abysmal like on a Vincent Himself level i do fw the whole girly vaguely alt vibe they had going with her. she is also funny as hell like sm of her lines absolutely kill me. her interaction w mindy at the party esp comes to mind like i'm so obsessed w the way she was moving there. stomped in mad as hell bc she can't have sex and can't get a ride home, threatened mindy's life, took her chips??? and left. one thing that girl could NEVER be is boring!!!

what i don't: the utter lack of screentime she had. go girl give us nothing! which also means they could not really give her much of a personality </3 like i adore liv i do. had to make up a million things abt her by myself tho bc god knows RS wasn't gonna do it. she worked the HELL outta the like 3 minutes she had. but she still had like 3 minutes (esp since they cut the scene w her n vince!!!) 😭

charlie walker:

what i like: first of all he is ALSO fine as HELL- ahem. well. again aside from the fact that he's one of the finest gfs to grace this franchise. his brutality as ghostface hands down has gotta be my favorite thing. he was doing it all too like!!! charles lee walker THEE single mom who works two jobs who loves her kids and never stops. bc j*ll sure as hell was not helping that boy. but he was up at the crack of dawn staging crime scenes and making ghostface calls before the first bell of the school day even rang! and then somehow still had the energy and mf SPEED ig to practically teleport around woodsboro n keep killing people!! he absolutely decimated olivia for kinda zero reason (tho in record time gutting and all) but he did what is EASILY my fave kill of the entire franchise flawlessly. dare i say i like him better than the og-*i am shot*

what i don't: Man. does the way he died count. bc that is precisely it 😭 ig everyone's gotta have their Silly Goofy STUPID moments but charlie was op as all hell and then just let himself get stabbed + did the worm on the floor of kirby's kitchen + died there. and for J*LL????? HER???????? it's the one thing i can never get past. esp when it gets him stuck w the 'pathetic lovesick gullible lapdog' perception among the fandom but that's not even rlly a Him problem as it is an Everyone Else thing. also maybe the pettiest complaint ever but i cringe a little whenever he calls himself the new randy. because i literally cannot STAND ran-

Flowers Can Grow in Concrete C8

The only thing V remembered about her life before the manor was that she helped with kids. Not from her memories, but her code, something the solver didn’t remove unfortunately. She could kill all day, but her code cried for her to comfort the little drones, to tell them it would be alright, to help them sleep, to protect them. So when N brought home one, it was miserable for her. N was a good caretaker, just not a good single dad. 

And now because I know how upset he’ll be, and because my code is screaming at me, I have to take care of the brat. Lovely~. 

“Oi! Tyke! Whatcha doin?” V kept her voice calm but couldn’t remember her name, and she couldn’t tell what N called her with his glitch voice. Was it Uzi? No, why would the kid be named after a gun? Fusiey? Was it a nickname of sorts? Would that imply that her name was Fuse?

The kid looked at her and her face lit up with excitement. Why is the kid so happy? Because of you. No, not because of me. Shut up code. V hated that her code could “Talk” to her. Yes it was useful when she needed to help calm things down, or help Tessa when she was injured. But not here! She had hardware to kill, but software to care.

“What’s your name! Where did N go? Is N ok? What about mom?” V was bombarded with questions. V! He is taking a break! Yes! She’s fine! V gritted her teeth. It’s still going? Just. Shut. Up! I can handle this! I. Don’t! Need. Your! Help. V strode over to the kid.

“My name is V, N needs a nap is all.” If I can, I’d like to leave that mom question.

“Oki… What about my mom? Is she okay?” Shit. She’s ok! Don’t worry! Let me give you a hug! I’ll keep you safe! Shut! Up! I don’t need you!

“I-Uh, Don’t know? You’d need to ask N about that…” V Sat beside the kid, Angling herself to look at them. She was about to reach out to the kid but retraced before it could happen and shook her head. Stop! Please. I don’t need to get attached. I can’t let myself. The kid just looked at her and smiled.

“That’s okay! Can we explore outside?” Uzi gave V a grin. She trusts you! I know that, Shut up.

“When N goes to sleep, Then we can.” V gave a small smile, her tail swaying faster than before. She wants to do something with me already. Yay! Fun! Bonding time! 

From her optics, V saw N. He looks, better. N looked around before his eyes landed on her. Hi N! How are you? Are you going to sleep? Shut up. N’s eyes had lines under them from a lack of sleep, His hair was slightly messy.

“H-Hey V! Thank you for watching Zi for me! I can take over for you now!” Oh hell no! You are not doing that! you need sleep!

“Tough luck! You are going to go to sleep and if you don’t I’ll fly off with the kid!” 

“Yay! I get to fly!” Uzi said while jumping up and down.

“No! Not yay! I’ll leave you far away from anyone and I won’t tell N where you are!”

“I’ll walk back! I just need to see the spire!” A smile formed on V’s face,

“I’ll leave you up high and where you can’t see the spire!” The smile started to turn into a smirk. 

“Then I’ll yell until N finds me!”

“Not if you're far away~!” 

Uzi’s visor displayed a loading icon, Then she huffed

“Fine, Then N need to go get sleep.” Uzi dropped down, sat crisscrossed with her arms folded. She turned away and started to playful pout.

“See? The kid agrees with me! You. Need. Sleep. End of story.” V said as she turned to him, the playful grin replaced by a determined look.

“No, J said That I need to take care of her.”

“She said it was your job. But who said that you can’t have a break for a day or two, hm? Besides, I think she was implying that she wouldn't help.”

“D-I-Um, Fineee I’ll go sleep” N slouched over, showing his defeat

“Thank you.” V let out with a sigh

“Oh but before I go!” N shoved his hand in his pocket, and pulled out a dark gray rectangle. “Here! It’s a phone for Uzi, so you, uh, fact check it or ask questions!” N handed her the phone, backed up, and took off for his nest. “Thanks, N” V said after N left. And he forgot to tell me the password, cool. V quickly ran to the pod, put the phone in her marked drawer, climbed out of the pod, and fear hit her core like lightning.

.

V's code talks in Orange!

"Fusiey" is said like "Fuse-E" lol

Fic Name: Who I Am Is Who I Wanna Be

Writer Name: @quietlemonhush

Rating: Explicit

Content warnings: None

Pairing or Gen: James Potter/Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

Prompt: Self-Prompt

Summary: If you asked James Potter what the best part was about having two omega boyfriends, he would cock one eyebrow at you, tilt his head to the side, and give a little well-rehearsed speech about how he loved Remus and Sirius for who they were, not a gender marker, and certainly not because of a weird omega fetish. “They’re the best people I’ve ever met in my life,” James would say. “That is why I love them.”

If you asked James Potter what the worst part was about having two omega boyfriends, he wouldn’t answer you, but the truth was this.

—

A single mom who works two jobs, who loves his omega boyfriends and never stops. With gentle hands and a knot of a fighter - he’s a surviiiivoooor.

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Chapter 1 (Order Up!)

Working at a full time job can be a huge commitment for someone, as they would spend most of the day working rather than engaging in hobbies or things they enjoy. For Kaname Maeno, he was up for the task of taking a job to better his life. He only lived with his mom before starting work, and was an unemployed high school graduate with no interest in any higher education, as he’d much rather be playing video games in his room than doing anything else.

His mother was disappointed, because she knew her son had potential, he just wasn’t using it. Perhaps employment could be the key for him to get out of his hikikomori lifestyle. He could make friends at work, and seek higher opportunities once he makes a stable enough income. But of course, this is not the way things went. At least, not at first.

It had been about a week since Kaname started working at the café known as Caralatte, and it wasn’t super great in his experience. As a waiter, he had to take every order with a smile, but secretly hated every second. It seemed like every customer went out of their way to ignore him, whether it were the teenage girls thinking he was the most adorable little thing, or the old perverts who wanted to get close to someone who looked like a little boy.

But yesterday was somewhat pleasant…or at least it was better than the previous days. Kaname saw a face that he never met before, a boy who seemed to be around his age, with short black hair and an orange outfit. This person looked relatively normal, but he was prepared for the worst.

As the other waiters were busy with other customers, Kaname waltzed towards the peculiar man, praying that there would be no complications or complaints. He took a deep breath and flashed his usual fake smile. “Hi, my name is Kaname Maeno, and I’ll be your waiter for today. What will you be ordering?”

The customer smiled mischievously and tapped his fingers against the table, which Kaname saw as an obvious bad sign. Nevertheless, the mystery man didn’t make an impression that he’d cause too much trouble…until he started ordering.

“I’ll have a chocolate cake, a strawberry sundae, some caramel custard, a lemon meringue pie, 6 sugar cookies…” Jesus Christ…was this man ordering for a party? Or would he eat this all by himself? It seemed like this man was ordering faster than Kaname’s hand could write down, and just as it seemed like he finished, there was much, much more to write down.

Miraculously, the constant orders suddenly ended, giving Kaname (and his poor hands) a breath of relief. “W-will that be all, sir?” he asked, trying not to go insane from what he just witnessed.

“I’ll also have some ice cream, because today is my birthday,” the strange customer requested. Kaname sighed heavily, hoping the chefs won’t pass out from the intense amount of items they’d have to make in such a limited amount of time. Even the other clients looked at this man in shock, but he didn’t seem to care a bit.

“Alright, your total will be…uh…¥760,860…do you want a receipt?” Kaname asked, struggling to keep his polite tone at this point. In response, the client shook his head and laughed, acting like he could afford all this? Of course, to the struggling waiter, this was another gluttonous rich kid, just trying to test his limits. If he didn’t get a good tip, he’d be pissed.

After about two hours, all of the items the bizarre man ordered were ready. Kaname was prepared to hear a long rant about how the chefs took too long, or how something was undercooked, or some other outrageous complaint as he served the customer his food, but all he received was a “thank you”.

…huh? This was odd…it seemed like every other person he had to serve was rude and unpleasant, but this was the first time he heard a “thank you” from someone he had the “pleasure” of serving. Kaname tried not to hide his shock, but did seem a little embarrassed. He figured he’d at least show his gratitude, it was the least he could do in this situation, anyway.

“It’s my pleasure to serve you tonight. Have a happy birthday, sir.” As Kaname walked off, it was getting closer to closing time, and the amount of people looking for a sweet treat slowly decreased. He looked towards the window, seeing all the stars swirl across the sky…perhaps, it was a sign that the night was going to not be filled with pain. Maybe, for once, his mother wouldn’t have to yell at him for not going to work, or he wouldn’t have to be so angry. At least for tonight, things felt normal…

Fumiya walked to the Charisma Sharehouse with a smile (and some crumbs) on his face, fully knowing that it was not his birthday and had tricked the waiter into giving him a slight discount. He didn’t think much of it, it was basically routine for him. Just as he was about to make a right turn on the next street, he overheard an intense argument coming from a nearby apartment.

“You always come home from work so angry, why not put a smile on your face?”

“Smile? What is there to fuckin’ smile about? I spend at least seven hours every goddamn day puttin’ on this fake smile only for people to harass and berate me!”

It didn’t seem super important to Fumiya, who cared about the drama of someone they didn’t know? However…one of the voices seemed familiar, which pulled him in to listen closer.

“You have to understand that work isn’t always pleasant, sweetie. And besides, you only started recently. Who’s to say that you won’t end up liking it in the end?”

“I’m to say! And I hate this shitty job and everyone I’ve met here!! And you wouldn’t even care, because you just want me to make money, don’t you? So I can be a good member of society like everyone else?”

Eventually, Fumiya decided to pull himself away, but not before he heard a scathing “I hate you” from (what he assumed to be) the son directed towards his mother. But the Charisma of Good and Evil just decided to shake it off, it wasn’t that important…but that simple phrase stuck in his mind, “I hate you.” It kept circling in his mind, with the bearer of those words reminding him of the nice waiter he met earlier that day.

“I hate you.” “I hate you.” “I hate-”

PPPPPPPPPPPPPP! The sharp sound of Rikai’s whistle interrupted Fumiya’s muddled thoughts. “Itou Fumiya, if there is one thing you should not do, it is enter the house with crumbs on your face! Go grab a napkin and clean it up!”

Of course, Fumiya’s first instinct was to question what he did wrong. “Hmm? Why?”

“Because it is not sanitary to leave pieces of food on your face! What if one of the crumbs falls off and it attracts a bug?! Then our house will become infested, and they can easily reproduce at any moment! So, I am kindly requesting you to clean it up!” Rikai complained, readily pulling out his whistle to blow again.

Not wanting to have his thoughts interrupted again, Fumiya grabbed a napkin and cleaned the crumbs off his face, but Rikai noticed that the former had a strange expression while doing it. “Is everything alright, Fumiya-san?”

“Everything is fine,” replied Fumiya, not in the mood to discuss what he heard while walking home.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Rikai felt like the youngest Charismatic was lying, which wasn’t a surprise, because Fumiya lied like he was getting paid a million dollars every time he did so. But this specific lie felt particularly strange, because he wasn’t the type to seem bothered by anything. And yet, Fumiya was clearly bothered…

“No, something is wrong. Fumiya-san, you must tell me what it is,” Rikai requested, hoping that at least some clues will be given.

“Nothing is wrong at all,” Fumiya answered, keeping his nonchalant facade intact.

“Something is wrong.”

“Nothing is wrong.”

“No, something is wrong.”

“Nope, nothing is wrong.”

The two went back and forth with each other for a few minutes, before a small voice interrupted. “E-excuse me…” It was Ohse, nearly curling up into a ball out of embarrassment.

“Ah, Ohse-kun! You haven’t come out of your room all day!” Rikai was pleased with the fact that Ohse finally decided to check in on the others for the day. “What brings you here at this hour?”

Ohse seemed nervous, repeatedly stammering over his words for a few minutes before Rikai and Fumiya assured him that he could say whatever he wanted. “I-is it okay if my friend stays over for a bit?”

Fumiya seemed oddly pleased by this question, with another (at least temporarily) resident of the house to break up the flow of the daily routine. Rikai, however, grimaced immediately after Ohse made his request.

“After the last time we had someone stay over, I’m not too keen on letting anyone stay for an extended period of time.” Rikai paused after seeing Ohse’s disappointment. “Can you inform us on who this person is?”

This question made Ohse even more anxious, not sure if Rikai would approve of his answer. “Well, it’s someone I met online, but-”

Rikai immediately huffed in disgust, not letting Ohse finish his statement. “Someone you met online?! Don’t you know how dangerous the internet can be?!?! You can be scammed, or doxxed, or kidnapped! Ohse-kun, I surely do not approve of this behavior!”

“Wait!” Ohse interrupted, before the Charisma of Order could go on another long rant. “I may not know his full name, or have seen his face…I’ve only heard his voice, but we have spent multiple hours in games together, and we have been in voice calls and…and…he made me want to live just a little bit more…” He took a deep breath before continuing. “He got into an argument with his mom and said he just needs a few days in order to fix things, just please let him stay…!”

Argument with his mother? Fumiya thought. No, surely this couldn’t be the person he overheard saying “I hate you” to his mom, right? …right? He looked over at Rikai, who shook his head in anguish.

“Alright…but we need to make sure that our house is completely spotless for our new arrival,” Rikai demanded. “When is he coming?”

“Um…tomorrow…”

“TOMORROW?!?!?!” Rikai entered a state of panic, knocking on every door in the house in order to initiate a group cleanup session. Most of the Charismatics were not thrilled to suddenly be called into cleanup, but Iori was absolutely ecstatic!

The night was long and filled with yelling and arguments, but the members of the sharehouse managed to clean up just in time for their guest.

The next morning, the doorbell rang, with everyone at once rushing over to greet the new (temporary) resident. However, one of them wasn’t expecting who this guest would be…

“Hi, it’s nice to meet you all. My name is Kaname Maeno.”

Bio: [TW: Alcoholism, abandonment, divorce, death]

The Bennetts seemed like the picture-perfect family. James was an energetic little boy, followed five years after by Amelia, who just added joy to their already happy family. The siblings grew up loved and wanting for nothing, doted on by their parents who strove to provide and make ends meet. They weren’t necessarily poor but there were times when things got tough. But as long as they were together, they’d be fine.

That all came crashing down when the siblings were sat down by their parents one night and were told that mommy and daddy were separating. They didn’t understand it then. It took a few years before James learned what an affair was and that his mother was having one for a good two years.

Still, James thought it was fine. So what if he and Amelia split their time between their mom and dad? But then his mom moved to a different coast and his dad took up drinking. The Reed siblings suddenly had a rude awakening: they only had each other—but they resolved that that would be enough. 

Their dad fell deeper into the bottle while their mom virtually disappeared, only for them to find out she had a different family now. James knew it was on him to take care of his baby sister so he worked odd jobs starting from middle school to provide for the both of them since their dad was pretty much absent since he was always so drunk. 

James also found himself getting into more than a few fights, something that irked his teachers because he was such a gifted student. “You would excel so much more if you used your brain more than your fists,” they told him. What they didn’t understand was that he was simply standing up for his sister who was getting bullied. They would always retort that he should simply report what was happening but nothing ever came of it.

And then one day, the siblings returned from school with their house surrounded by police cars and an ambulance. Their father had died—he fell down the stairs and broke his neck. Asked for next of kin, they brought up their mother. She didn’t want them. 

Now he felt more responsible than ever before because Amelia had literally no one else to rely on—and he felt more lonely than ever before. Thankfully, someone took them in as foster kids. Realizing that there wasn’t much of a future for him or his sister unless he did something about it, he resolved that he would join the Army. He thought it was the best course of action to give Amelia a future. His sister, however, felt like she was abandoned. Unbeknownst to the elder Bennett, their relationship would suffer greatly—and it still hasn’t fully recovered.

His time in the Army taught him to trust. It was there that lifelong bonds were formed, but only one that he cherished the most. Sophia was someone who caught him off guard, and in the midst of a warzone, the two fell in love. They were looking forward to their life of normalcy back at home and had planned to live a romantic city life together before moving to the country to start a family with probably six to eight dogs and a farm.

Life, yet again, was unkind. Sophia was killed in an ambush a month shy from being discharged. 

Devastated, he pushed through, leaving his pain and trauma untreated and unchecked. He had a stint at a private security firm and flew to Egypt to provide security at an archaeological dig. It was here that he met Nilay, the one who would fill in the sibling-shaped void in his heart though he certainly wasn’t planning on it. The two became fast friends, and she would pretty much save his life a few years later. 

Having acheived a Bachelor’s while in the Army, he pursued a Master’s Degree when he got back while teaching high school. Once he got it, he became a professor, but as his career progressed, his trauma remained, and he didn’t realize that his reclusive ways had returned once again in full force. Fortunately, he had Nilay who helped walk him through it. 

He’s slowly trying to recover and deal with the trauma of his past while also moving on. Nilay suggested Blue Harbor as a place to get a fresh start, and since the University was hiring, he jumped on the opportunity. But would his new home truly be the fresh start he’s looking for and finally help him move on with his life?

[fractallogic]

I think I’m REALLY going to eat my feelings tonight because guess fucking what the day just was so weird on top of being rejected from the job (which, btw, the way they’ve handled the process has been pinging sketchy alarm bells in the heads of my friends who know industry better, so maybe it’s actually a bullet dodged)

At her defense, this poor grad student’s nervousness was PALPABLE during her presentation and I’m so so glad she seemed to loosen up and have more fun during the questions

I didn’t recognize one of my other fave grad students there because she’d cut her hair!!! But it was nice to talk to her after the defense … until she asked how my mom was doing. I told her that my mom had died and she got really emotional for me and was like “oh no I’m so sorry are you doing okay??? Now I’m crying!!” And I was, you know, sitting there being awkward like I tend to do talking about my mom when I’m not actively feeling sad about her dying because I’m like man uh right now I don’t even miss her… 😬😬😬

But we also talked about other things and I found out that there’s a new bubble tea shop near campus, and we exchanged phone numbers, and renewed our resolve to play switch together someday and hang out

But the emotional stuff was just overwhelming, so instead of going back to my office to eat lunch (AT THREE PM LOL) and work for an hour, i literally sat in my car in the parking garage for the two minutes it took to eat my sandwich and then went to the gym

And then at the gym I hit a HUGE wall doing deadlifts, because I decided to completely disregard how I didn’t sleep enough last night and how I’d only eaten an instant breakfast shake and a PB&J all day, and I was warming up by lifting 135 lbs before I tried my 175-lb set, and … it was one of the comical moments where I’m trying SO HARD to lift the bar and it doesn’t even move. The same thing happens when I go down to 165, and again when I go ALL THE FUCKING WAY DOWN TO 135, because apparently my body was like “no we DID our single set of deadlifts already, we’re DONE now wtf”

And then I did 15 min on the elliptical and felt like I was lowkey gonna die, and on the way home I got flashes of nasty migraine possibly coming

So anyway before all that comes to fruition, I’m going to take a shower and then try this new-to-me Chinese place and get scallion pancakes and mapo tofu, and then if I still want it as badly as I do now, go all the way across town to sonic to get a cookie dough blast because they put WAY more cookie dough in their thing than DQ does in its blizzards

@ self: you aren’t obligated to eat the whole mapo tofu. You CAN actually have everything on this list if you don’t try to stuff yourself. FYI.

BACKGROUND / BIO

Jamie was born in San Francisco, California, to a military man and a stay-at-home mom. his childhood was pretty typical, and the kids were involved in all sort of extra curriculars at school. come high school, he was involved in a lot, including the school plays, played lacrosse, did science club, advanced classes. He found that he loved science and decided to pursue that as a project going into his senior year of high school.

It looked easy from an outsider’s point of view, but the family didn’t reveal their struggles openly, even to their children. they just heard it from down the hall. Rather, Jamie did, being the youngest at the time, where his older siblings had already left for college. His picture perfect family was on the verge of slowly tearing apart. It would only be so long before that happened. And the next thing he knew, his dad was getting remarried, and he’d have a step-mom and two younger step-siblings.

Shortly after the wedding, he left for college to study nursing at UCLA. It was a tough program, but he had made a lot of friends in school, as home life had been getting him down. Even with the heavy workload, he managed, doing his best to keep his grades up to stay in the program. The motivation was that he could somehow make a difference. At least in L.A., he had a bit more freedom to have some fun when he wasn’t studying or working. Being about 45 minutes away from Disney? Not bad. Still. he really missed his mom, who had moved closer to her side of the family across the country shortly after the divorce, while he had stayed in California for college.

During his years at UCLA, he met someone who ended up being his first serious boyfriend. It felt like a brand new relationship for a while, until he realized the guy had been cheating on him. That hit him harder than how it felt going through family drama, but he had to act fast. His grades had started to slip, and without that high GPA, he was out of the program. But after a little more soul searching, he was back on his feet and finally graduated.

After graduation, he went to Maine to live closer to his mom and her side of the family, where he took his first job after graduating nursing school, and was reunited with a friend he had made in Los Angeles and has lived there since.

hi can i say that the six nuggets speech isn’t meant to be taken as he wants to force nancy into having six kids & to make her a housewife. he isn’t gonna have six kids okay, he’s already got six rugrats, he just wants to be the dad he never had & give the life he never got to live. he has been nothing but her biggest fan, & would be her largest supporter in her career. the dream is about having a family & it’s stated that nancy is the most important part of that dream & he would gladly their family just be him & her & the wheelers if that’s what she wanted. her “screw that” speech wasn’t about having a nuclear family but instead about parents that are in a loveless marriage who stay together for comfort & money & just a contract ( her literal words ). that’s what she’s saying screw that too. furthermore if they ever did have kids, let’s all be honest with each other that steve is the stay at home dad & malewife. but those would be choices that they made together & you all know what a simp this man is & he’d do what would work for them both. thank you for your time.
