#and this was all over an ear infection

[tidal-chaos]

having a dad that doesnt understand at all what im talking about ever (namely regarding gay, trans, or plurality related stuff) but trusts that i do know what im talking about and respects that is great. because on top of everything mentioned he also Definitely isnt being paid enough to deal with me, knowing i might as well be speaking to him in tongues, gleefully telling him im& a they/she ambiamorous pansexual panromantic demiromantic aceflux agenderflux nonhuman (but only right now!! literally everything except the nonhuman thing is more or less up for future debate!!!!).

and then i tell him oh no those are just our collective identities and i am actually a cat with memories of homicidal tendencies. and also my name is holly but aha dont get confused! thats just my name, our collective name is Tides, not to be confused with our system name which is Aftermath system! you got all that right. you, a man of over 50 years old, have that information memorized. right. rig

i was born here but my dad emigrated from the ukraine with his brother in 1987 and says when they got to rome their aplications got rejected twice for not having enough proof, and so his brother got sick of waiting and went to israel 😔

Oh, until the Lautenberg Amendment, refugee status for Russian Jews who wanted to come to America was entirely predicated on who, if anyone, pissed in the INS official’s Cheerios that morning.  They'd have you go to the U.S. Embassy on Via Veneto with every member of your grubby family and interview you to establish you had a well-founded fear of persecution and specific evidence to back up your claim. Those guys (and the HIAS people who helped us prepare lol)  were so sick of us by the 1980s because there was a huge backlog of immigrants in Rome waiting to be approved, and every fucking day we’d pour in their offices, take all the candy in the bowls, and get weirded out by the compulsive American smiling.

Like, maybe they really were expecting some American Tail shit in the beginning, where we’d talk about huddling in our little mouse kitchen with our forbidden matchstick menorah or whatever. The reality was that after 70 or so years of cultural genocide, most of us were secular atheists entirely disconnected from what Americans understood to be Judaism. Our evidence of religious persecution?  Promotions we didn’t get, schools that rejected us, relocation applications that never got approved, name-calling.  By the mid-80s, the KGB was using the Lubyanka prison as a cafeteria, and not everyone was lucky enough to be thrown in a gulag and tortured. Unless you were #privileged enough to have an arrest record or a paper trail of dissidence, your immediate future was in the hands of a guy who couldn't pronounce your last name and rolled his eyes when you wasted his time describing “unofficial quotas”.

Ask any INS officer, Israeli Zionist, or tankie on Tumblr.edu: a lot of refuseniks were whiny kikes who played the victim instead of staying in the Soviet Union and taking some antisemitism for the team (or going to Israel, where we clearly belong).

Linking durge appearing to not feel/be aware of pain while with Kressa and certain chatter lines to durge's brain injury is common, but I also think maybe Bhaal gifted durge with either a super high pain tolerance or the inability to feel pain in most of their body when creating them.

If I was a murder god creating what I hoped to be murder incarnate, I'd want them to have minimal distractions in cases where a victim fights back. Pain is a warning that keeps you from further injury and the ability to continue their work on two broken legs with their guts hanging out would be beneficial when the aim is quantity of victims

kinda disappointed with how this weekend went. I mean, it wasn't bad! but it was our first weekend in the new apartment, and I/we wanted to get a lot done. I already did a lot during the week (a lot for me, not a lot for most people I guess), but there's lots of things that I can't do/can't do on my own, either because I'm too short or not strong enough or I need someone else to hold something or whatever. which realistically just won't get done during the week because my husband works full time, so. it sort of sucks that only one very small, unimportant thing got done. 😔

Would you mind reblogging the prompts again? Please 💕I love what you have written and I love all your fics so much, currently (not so) patiently waiting for the ear infection fic and maybe an update to Make Way for Ducklings? 😍 your writing is so dear to my heart

Yes of course! The Kiss Prompts list has been reblogged! The prompts list can also be found here.

(I'm trying to be fancy and link everything in this answer- I have no idea if it's going to work or if I'm doing it right, but just know I am trying!)

So far I have filled:

4. Write a Kiss ... where it hurts

14. Write a Kiss ... casually

36. Write a Kiss ... to give up control

44. Write a Kiss ... out of lust

49. Write a Kiss ... out of necessity

And I have a request for 9. Write a Kiss ... in public and for 19. Write a Kiss ... for luck that I am working on!

Thank you so much for your kind words about my writing and my fics, I'm so glad that you are enjoying them! The Ear Infection Fic™️ has run into some technical difficulties but please know I am working on it! I feel like I've been hyping it up (too much) and I want to be proud of it when I put it out, therefore it's taking a little longer! I am also working on the next chapter of Make Way for Ducklings (honestly at the rate I'm going that one might be done sooner) I had decided to split the previous chapter into two chunks, so I have a good amount of it written, I just need to clean it up a bit more! Thank you again so much for reading! I hope you continue to enjoy my fics!!

❤️Ally

Life's been a little hectic so being on here has taken a major backseat. :') Sorry for those that are waiting on things (IC and OOC). My activity is probably gonna continue to be super sporadic and random for a bit. So thanks everyone for being super patient with me. 🩵

Okay, I know that sharp pain I get in my ears are probably left over issues from the 100+ ear infections I've had in my life, but damn am I annoyed that I have to go through this shit.

YAAAAAAY Hope and Rascal's blood and urine tests came back exquisitely normal and im so, so happy ... i was sure Rascal had SOMETHING (just .. due to being an elderly cat i found outside who's been untreated for anything) but they're both doing perfectly so i'm so relieved
