#adventures in the life of me I guess?

[fayeandknight]

Last night was a thing, lol.

Let me set the scene -

It's midnight on Halloween, I'm in bed, and I may or may not be falling asleep with the help of a chewable night cap. When suddenly one of the dogs starts barking his fool head off. I contemplate ignoring it and rolling over. Except I realize he's barking because someone is knocking at the door.

It's my neighbor from across the street. (Older than me, younger than my parents.) She is extremely distraught. She's a nurse and just got off work. While coming in a possum ran into her garage.

I, admittedly, and not understanding why this is a big deal. But she's not originally from the US so I explain that possums are not a threat. They're known for playing dead. She's not reassured.

So I dutifully go over and attempt to search her garage. It's very full of things so I didn't find it. As I was searching a pair of cops, which she'd apparently called, show up. Lady cop and I share a look because it's a possum. Dude cop is young and twitchier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He's got one hand on his gun the entire time.

At one point dude cop backs into a garage can and fully jumps at least a foot into the air before spinning around - hand still on his gun. I need this twit to leave before he shoots some poor neighbor's dog, possibly mine.

I go back to my garage to grab a trap to set up and some cat food to bait it with. I assure everyone that I have this handled and the cops are happy to leave. I promise neighbor I'll check the trap again in the morning, and after work if need be. She gives me a garage door opener.

The funniest part of this whole thing is that her husband and sons, both double digits in age, are in the house. But it's my door she knocked on.

Anyway, haven't caught it yet but while periodically check for it and then release it in a more wooded part of the neighborhood. Also she's insisting on making me homemade Persian food - which I didn't argue too hard against because both her and her mother are excellent cooks.

The types of HolPol I can't get enough of 💕...in my head, at least.

-----

1) canon Part 3 HolPol

The main ship. The sexual tension, the rivalry, the jealousy, the enemy-to-lovers trope...the only holpol version that I see them fighting and arguing in, before the lovemaking. It's dysfunctional yet perfect in every sense. I only wished they had more screen time together.

2) half canon Part 3.5 Hol (CDDH) x Part 5 Polnareff

I hc that CDDH Hol did meet up with Part 5 Pol...or at least pre-part 5 Pol before he rode a literal chariot. There's even an au I wholeheartedly supported - Hol joining La Squadra to eliminate the boss, thinking he had offed his beloved Pol, only to be reunited again after he shot Diavolo dead. Love this au because Pol lives ;v;♡

3) semi-canon post-Part 5 HolPol

This is the first au I came up with. Unlike the one above, Hol had lost Pol pre-Post 5 and went on a hunt for him, only to run into a group of thieves who infiltrated Passione (now led by Giorno) to steal the arrowhead. Things happened, Pol somehow had his turtle body transformed into a human (it's an OC's Stand power...I can elaborate if you're interested), and they both went on an adventure from Italy to Germany to get the arrowhead back. Not entirely a romantic HolPol story...I just want them to go on a JoJo-like adventure for once.

4) Steampunk/Post-apocalyptic AU (gunslinger Hol x swordsman Pol)

This came up on a whim. I didn't extend it much other than Hol was a hired gun who teamed up with engineer Avdol and their pet Iggy, going from one location to another for jobs. Meanwhile, Pol was on a mission to escort the priest Kakyoin to a city. They met, fought together, kiss, bed wrestle, so on and so forth...

5) Fantasy/Medieval AU (knight Pol x prince Hol)

This started with a mix of my own reading about tarot cards and some neat fanarts of Pol in an armour and Hol on a royal throne. Then my hands got itchy and I played with ChatGPT with this idea. The AI gave me a handful of short stories that eventually made me fell in love with this au. Somehow their love story also included Avdol as a royal advisor, Jotaro as another knight, and Dio as the enemy warlord.

6) Domestic/Modern AU HolPol

I know this is a boring au, but hear me out. Pol, a fashionista, socialite city boy, in love with Hol, a rugged, charming rancher from the mountains. Two different worlds, yet they made a cozy, loving household together. Boingo and Sherry would be supporting them a lot, if not join in their shenanigans. I will forever gush with this au, and anyone's interpretation of this au , for me, is hella valid.

Here's to more HolPol next year! :D

The garden gnome adventures have begun (thanks to @ben-learns-smth for coming up with the name I am obsessed with it). Half of the weekend has been filled with finally working on my vegetable garden. It's the first year I am taking care of it all by myself (with some help from my parents when they have time) and everything's finally set up. We put up the support for the tomatoes yesterday and today I finally planted everything, and I also had time to plant three new lavender plants in a little hidden spot at the back of the house. Yesterday I also managed to get some study done, though I have not planned yet my study for the upcoming week. I have to say I am still in that weird period in which I wake up tired every single day. I don't know if it's a mental or physical thing, probably both. I am trying to take care of myself but I just have very little energy, especially mental and emotional energy. I feel overwhelmed very easily lately and I cannot wait for this to stop. If I am doing something and I can fully focus on that activity it feels better, but as soon as I am done with the task I can feel a weight pulling me down but I don't know what to do about it. And I also feel like on one single day I go through the whole spectrum of shrimp emotions and I could very much do without.

I just finished Fionna and Cake, and I'm coping so well.

And since my sister has threatened to make a music video with Simon and Betty to the song "This woman's work" by Kate Bush, I drew this to destroy her first. 👍

i think the funniest neal relationship is when he's dating sara because 90% of it is 'we both like to be dressed to the nines at all hours of the day and night, we should fuck about it' and the instant they have any disagreement whatsoever they're like oh right our expensive and impractical taste in clothing is the only thing we have in common

Got to stolen century in my relisten and started tearing up at work because of magnus carving the duck. Just me in the back room, crying over the dish sink for normal reasons.

watching the first 2 episodes of frieren last year shook me so bad i still can't get myself to continue it, but between what i remember of it and the nightmares episode of dungeon meshi i can't stop thinking about the ways laios would prepare marcille for his death. what would he leave behind to remind her that he (and by extension all the people she loved and who loved her) are still with her in spirit, even if not in body?

[strawbie-doodle]

happy new year! ☆

i basically had no motivation to create anything this year but i still like what i ended up making, even though it would take like a whole month to create just one drawing most of the time.

i did reach my only goal tho which was to create just as many or more oc art as fanart. yay

I think doing shipping through and aroace lens makes things complicated but also interesting. I think one reason I don't enjoy straight ships as much is because it's very rare for people write/talk about them with a queerplatonic dynamic. straight romance is so "normalized" in society, it's hard to get any other dynamic out of those ships from other people in conversation or writing. it's mostly always romantic. (especially when "guys and girls can't be *just* friends" is extremely common and has ruined mamy of my own friendships) but I enjoy a handful of a straight ship with that dynamic. it's just way more rare to see talked about than gay ones from my observation. anyway point is, more queerplatonic type ships and stuff please! those aren't explored enough!
