I have a younger sister

But no matter whatever i try I can never seem to bring myself to like her. Every time I see her she is just so annoying and I feel like I wanna smash something and just break my head off. Everything she does irritates me from her mannerisms, the way she talks, the way she steals my stuff but never gets scolded, the way she has had a kinder bringing up than I did, the way she’s only been hit once or twice her entire life but I’ve been slapped well into my higher teens, the way she just starts dancing out of nowhere like an absolute crackhead, the way she gets to grow up with a tv while I didn’t have that chance because when we got a proper connection I was already in grade 11 and I had to focus on school, the way she gets to keep all the relative given money and spend it on whatever without a question but I’ve been taught to hand it over straight to my dad the second it touches my hands, how she is going to be able to spend her teen years happily with a separate room and alone with all my parents’ full attention while I’ve had to suffer with her annoying ass at home all my life till now, the way she already has a laptop of her own and was also given a phone before she even hit her teens but I still have to use a hand me down broken laptop that has a barely functioning keyboard and got a phone of my own only in senior secondary and only because I had to travel far for coaching classes and not because my parents actually wanted to get me one and even now my mom keeps checking my phone and keeps reading all my texts and I have no privacy so what is the point of whatsapp anymore , the way she gets to have the door to her room closed anytime she wants but my mom keeps my door open and keep checking in on me, the way my sister is allowed to go to the terrace alone with her friends whenever she wants till whenever she wants but I always had to ask for permission and had a early curfew, the way my parents always tell me that I have to guide her once I’ve gone to college but why the heck should I who guided me who told me what to do who told me how to study when I didn’t have that guidance I don’t feel like she should have an unfair advantage because I know that if she turns out better than I did my parents will rub it in forever, the way she’s going to get to go on vacations every summer from now on and they’re already making a list of all the countries they’re gonna go to next year after I’ve left to college because my family is doing better than when I was a kid but I’ve never gone anywhere apart from my native place and the only time I’m gonna get to travel is when I can afford it myself, the way she just randomly screams for no reason like she got stabbed but will just be ignored but if I yell out of shock because I spilled water on my notes I get screamed at for acting immaturely, they way my parents won’t repeat the same mistakes they did on me when it comes to her because even though they may have meant it as a joke they said that now they know how to raise a kid but for some damn reason I can’t take it as a joke, the thought that I know is wrong to think but I can’t help it which is that if my sister weren’t there my parents maybe could spend more money and time on me and I could worry less about how they’re gonna afford my college fees, the way she gets to have no restrictions on what she gets to watch but I’m always constantly monitored even though I’m literally almost 18 now, the way my dad keep a saying that I’m her second mother but why the fuck am I supposed to take on that responsibility unwillingly cuz if it’s ur child you raise it and stop putting pressure on me to help you raise her if I don’t want to, the way I’m crying while typing all of this and my mom just came and asked my why I’m crying and when I told her the reason she just yelled at me for not understanding that this is how I family is and how I’m not being kind enough when she doesn’t even realise how much this is affecting me, the way I just really really want to move out to college as soon as I can and never see my sister ever again.

I don't like this place. It's turning everyone edgy and sad.

spare thought for the enslaved shepherds in greek mythology/tragedy who rescue the exposed doom babies... sometimes they know why the baby was left to die, sometimes they don't. they just — it's a baby. no one else wants it. you can't leave it here. what harm could it do. it's a baby. you want it to live. it's a baby

i know we all laugh (mostly fondly) about the paper-thin plots in porn that only exist to make the sex happen, but i was reading some old stargate fic over the weekend, and i really think we're sleeping on the paper-thin hurt/comfort plot that only exists to force the characters to FEEL THINGS.

like, is this scenario realistic? no. does it make any rational sense? no. does it provide a built-in excuse for a character to collapse, bloody and disoriented, into the arms of his beloved/friend/partner? obviously, that's the whole point of this exercise.

i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world.

after jasons death bruce "accidentally" slips harvey a crowbar while hes in arkham and kisses his cheek and says, voice soft and colder than ice, "make him hurt for me honey"

it takes 6 guards to sedate and drag two face off the joker the next time two face sees him and for the rest of their lives as soon as harvey sees the joker he goes after him like a rabid dog.

genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

Eddie is such a good father. It takes a good parent to give their child the space they need but still invite someone in who can be a safe space so that Christopher is talking to someone. Giving your child that time speaks volumes of who he is as a person and a father.

He doesn’t want to bust the door down he wants Christopher to open it. He wants the privilege of being allowed back in and he recognizes that he needs to earn it. That he cannot force it upon him. Until then he’s going to do what he can to provide Christopher the support and trust that he probably feels like he’s missing from his dad right now.

AU based off Nature except I kept thinking about it too hard. Dales not a good dad, but its such an easy problem for him to throw money at, and what do you do when a part is damaged? Well, you replace it.

Basically an AU where Dev gets to experience medical trauma and realizes much sooner how much his dad doesn't love him
