#my papa was diagnosed w lung and colon cancer. and he's too frail to do anything about it. so he's essentially just going to slowly die#they're not sure how long it'll take. or how advanced the cancer is. but it's there. and it will take him.#my grandma is also descending into bad dementia from her multiple traumatic brain injuries#it's gotten noticeably worse this past month#she needs to stop driving but I'm the only person in the family w a driver's license who can get to her#so if anyone was to pick up the slack it would be me.#aside from literally not having time nor money for that. I don't know how to handle this sort of grief#I'm 26 but I haven't come to terms w the fact that there is a quickly approaching day#where I'm going to wake up and my grandparents aren't going to be around any more#and I won't see them ever again.#I know I shouldn't borrow grief. but how do you avoid it.#and my granddad too.#and I can't really discuss this with anyone else. my siblings should be the ones that I could unpack this with#but bc of the age gaps between most of us they have an entirely different relationship with these people than I do#I remember everything. picking my granddad up from the airport. him giving me tootsie rolls. crying when we dropped him back off.#going fishing w my papa. bringing the fish back and watching my grandma gut and filet them. building a sandbox with him.#shelling pecans w my grandma. watching court tv while she made breakfast. her trying and failing to teach me how to swim.#it's not fair that I'm going to be the only person who remembers those things. and that to some degree I already am.

Elrond would have been the bestest grandpa ever and the fact that he never got the opportunity to be so is a Crime.
#elrond#silmarillion#lotr#Fight me#You cannot change my mind#He would have been so sweet and soft with these tiny little babies of his babies#He would have loved them so much and spoiled them and let them sit on his lap while he does important things#Imagine Elrond just sitting there and patiently explaining what each plant does and what's in every book and what his clothes are made of#And where rivendell comes from and everything a curious bb can come up with#And helping his grandkids to make presents for their parents and aaaa#i have so many feels about this okau#I just want Elrond to have granddad time and Arwen waited too long and the twins apparently just didn't#Also the twins are the bestest uncles ever but are always fighting glorfindel and erestor over it#rivendell

*guy who only knows 5 artists voice* wow, these 5 artists sure are the best in the world
#Grammys#grammys 2025#every year it seems to me like the Grammys struggle to find enough artists and so they name#Every artist they know and put them in every category#The Grammys are like asking your grandma about modern music#That said my granddad has recently discovered Dua Lipa and he Will Not shut up about her#music#Heās said to me āsheās a British musician. Her music is ahhh so nice! š why donāt you play her on your show?ā#Granddad. Baba. There exist 150000 British musicians. My job is to discover and uplift those you donāt know yet.#Dua is great but she doesnāt need my help. Thatās how I feel about the Grammys too#They are listing all the names they know#musicians#This yearās outcome was marginally better. Still its people patting themselves on the back + 1 truly small artist#Who wonāt win (hi Fontaines bbs)#kendrick lamar#chappell roan#I think theyād never have a single viewer again if they didnāt honour these two. Like theyād be laughed out of music.#It was nice that they recognised Doechii. Charli also finally getting her flowers. Iām surprised they liked St. Vincent so much but pleased#But the Beatles and Rolling Stones sweeping the top rock awards was just. Dinosaur of the recording academy ngl#doechii#charli xcx#st. vincent#the beatles#the rolling stones#fontaines d.c.

Making a joke about how caving is fun because it scratches same the itch that caused victorian men to go die at the poles for no reason but shaking my head the entire time to show that I understand that the actual economic and social reasons behind european exploration of the arctic and antarctic in the nineteenth century were actually far more material in nature than they were due to some kind of inherent human desire to die in a stupid way
#I do enjoy the doomed explorer vibe though. I would go cave diving for that too if the fact of my granddadās friends dying in front of him#while they were cave diving when he was younger hadnāt scarred me for life against it <- overshare moment. sorry#jory.txt

After successfully dodging it for four years, I got Covid from my gran, who got it from my grandfather, who "got" it for his 95th birthday (probably from someone who coughed at him at the supermarket or wherever) ... My grandparents are both fine, thank God, and I'm isolating in the yarn room where the man keeps me plied with tea and food, like this excellent noodle soup.
Featuring my gran's WIP basket in the background which she gave me a few years ago.
#the last week has been a fucking trip I tell you#my father has it too but is on the mend as well#I swear this was the longest week with bad news every day#thankfully everyone of us is vaccinated and got their booster shots too#my granddad is SO PISSED that he got it after all this time#none of us had this on their bingo card for this year#covid#personal

Drayton's family tree is massive as a whole.
He had great-grandparents, he has grandaunts and granduncles. He has no blood siblings (that he knows of *coughcough*) and no aunts or uncles on Drayden's side of the family, but through his late grandmother (name TBD), his family branch goes pretty far. He has a few aunts and uncles.
The vast majority that makes up his family tree today, in his specific case, are his cousins. He has a lot of cousins. So many that it used to be like a running gag in Opelucid, back when Drayton was younger, for he to be introduced to new cousins he didn't know he had. Family gatherings can get especially absurd, as around 40 people could show up - all of them his relatives. They all don't live in Opelucid, they're scattered around Unova and in some other regions entirely. Drayton's the most familiar with his relatives who do live in his hometown.
While he finds having a big family cool, it does have some awkward aspects for him personally. Drayden is currently the fam's clan head, and it's no secret that HE'S Drayden's "star" child in a sense, Ria literally named him in his honor + his granddad had great influences in his development, so this has resulted in Drayton's cousins, even his elders to a degree, treating him like he's a...celebrity. It got worse when his talents as a trainer and a tamer started blooming.
Drayton does truly love his family, but he also feels distant from them because of this and from how everyone expects him to accomplish great things like Iris has. :)
#( my take of drayton has him not knowing who his dad is at all; nor does his dad know he exists )#( but that doesnt really matter because drayden has the granddad & dad roles in his life )#( this gets touched upon in the fic too hehe )#my headcs#pokemon drayton

I cant believe I havenāt mentioned my granddadās commentary of Atreus doing literally anything, but specifically about the sand bowls.
Every time we found a sand bowl:
Him: oh no. the little shitās gonna go stir the pot again.šš
Me: yes but hes helping us
Him: heās annoying me
Whenever Atreus was grappled by a monster:
Me: oh god i need to save my son hold on
Him: let him die heāll be fine
And of course thereās various amounts of:
Him: whatās the thing. thereās a thing following you, shouldnāt you kill it?
Me: n. no. thatās my son. we donāt kill him heās helping us
Him: why is it following youš¤Ø
Me: because, heās literally 11
Him: mmm. kill it.

Was rewatching an old Erin x James edit I made, and I just remembered how perfect the use of Mariah Careyās āAlways Be My Babyā was in the episode set in Donegal. Not only did the song slightly allude to the future of Erin and Jamesā relationship, but it also gave insight to the B-plot about Joeāthat no matter how long his wife has passed heās always gonna carry her love with him.
#i love this show so much#itās so intentional to detail#and so comforting#and the soundtrack is so good too??#derry girls#erin quinn#james maguire#jerin#joe mccool#granddad joe#always be my baby

i found loads of pictures of my uncle i am going 2 cry
#he looked so sweetā¦..he looks SO much like my dad#i found the last picture of him that my granddad took a month or so before he died itās so sad#trying to decide if i should tell my mum that i know about him or if i should just keep it to myself#idk if somethings wrong with me maybe itās because i was already grieving before i found out#but itās really getting 2 me i canāt concentrate on my uni shit i just keep thinking about it#i think i rlly need to talk about it with someone but i have no idea who or how or what iād say. but itās weird because itās a secret yk#like iām not even supposed to know he existed#idk. i have a gender clinic appointment next week and iām going to ask if they can recommend any therapists#me being very very brave and trying therapy again after being forced into it my whole life and ending up a bit traumatised#idk. i feel bad that iām alive and iām wasting my life when my uncle got killed when he was just a kid#it makes me feel like i should be more grateful and do more with myself.#and i am going to try but iād rather he was here instead. same with my granddad#every time i experience something beautiful or good i wish my granddad could experience it because he deserved it more than me#and the best i can do is experience it for him and be grateful. but i would chance places instantly if i could#him and his kid deserve to be here they were so special. i know i donāt know his kid but iāve heard they were similar#so i know he must have been special too#i found a fb comment today from a family friend iāve never met and she was saying that she only met my granddad once#but she called him gentle and it made me cry. because he was very scottish and sweary and traditional and masculine#so everyone just assumed he was tough and scary but if you knew him he was really quiet and kind#and iām glad someone who only met him once could see that#iām going to be half asleep for the rest of my life i think. iāve been dreaming since my granddad died and i donāt feel like i ever woke up#nothing has felt real since i was nine years old. everything just stopped and never started again#iāve just been waiting. iām waiting for him to change his mind and come back. idk. i donāt know what to do with myself#and i continuously feel fucking insane and stupid for being this way. itās like fresh grief all the fucking time#but it was fifteen years ago. why does it still feel this way#i canāt even tell people because they wonāt understand why iām still so bothered by it#he was my parent for nine years. i lived with him he was my sole caretaker#i was nonverbal and him and my brother were the only people on the planet who knew what my voice sounded like#heād think it was silly if i failed my exam because i was crying about him instead#heād tell me to whisht and stick in. so i will

ādonāt restrict yourself!! gender and sexuality are fluid!ā you guys couldnāt even handle he/him lesbians
#this is for all those fuckers who preach about being accepting of everyone#then turn around and yell about how xenopronouns and conflicting labels are āmocking the trans communityā and āinvading queer spacesā#this pisses me off SO MUCH. if you really donāt want he/him lesbians to be in your precious gatekept spaces then Donāt Interact With Them#the queer people who fought to earn the rights you have now fifty years ago would be disappointed#also who even gives a fuck about the words people use to identify *themselves*#youāre starting to sound a whole lot like homophobes by trying to exclude people who arenāt doing anything to you#EVERYTHING IS FLUID!!! LABELS ARE TOOLS TO HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR IDENTITY NOT BOXES TO FIT INSIDE OF#if you want to identify as a gay man but go by she/her? thatās fucking awesome!!!#fucking around with labels actually makes you 100 times cooler#p.s. if my 80 year old granddad could understand xenopronouns then you can too#okay rant over#lgbtq+#xenopronouns#discourse#rants#queer

1/ this bout of comms almost done and 2. spawndate in 3 days so I have! been fixin up some stuff for the itch store. that'll go live on the 29th! right now there Is a pack of the lineart stuff I did last year for folks who found that agreeable, still free to grab! for practicing coloring, or if you wanna mess around with colors when ur not feelin like doing lineart, or if you wanna try to figure out colors in a drastically different style than what you usually go for. or if u just wanna look at it that's cool too. small announcement that is all see u in a few
#bakuspeech#update on the situation: is mostly contained. it'll take a fair bit to make up for how much it's kicked us in the nuts#but it's doable. just Very annoying and tedious and sudden and overall it just sucks#esp. like right up close to my birthday lmao. like if it happened earlier this year I'd be like alright. sucks shit but par for the course#this year has already been so fucked up. this might as well happen#but since it's happened in december it really brings on the feeling of like. fr bitch?#right in front of my cake? me the birthday boy? the specialest fucking boy?#but well. theres a Thing around here that's ur birthday usually being the unluckiest day#but also we're the kind of folks who track death dates rather than birthdays. like up until very recently#all four of my grandparents have unspecified birthdays. their birth years aren't even correct. on paper they're like#a few years older than they actually are#and my granddad on my dads side was even from a family of some means so it wasnt even a class thing#man. last year Something was happening around this time too. idr what but it also sucked#mmm. well. what is really just is. and I've already taken a hammer to it anyhows#I'll do the same for the birthday thing. it Will be fucking good. I take a hammer to it#I'm very glad I still get some commissions even tho it was practically right up to noel#you guys are very generous. I don't say it as often as I should I think but I'm very very thankful for the support#glad to hang out around here still. glad to have the folks I have here. thank u for chillin with me#please look forward to the itch store update. got a new thing along with the old things ported over. stay tuned
