#big day for my little family

[6stronghands]

FOOOOOOOD

yesterday my kid gave me cream filled milk bread, meat stuffed croquets (both were even better than they look in the baking videos, like genuinely wonderful baked goods, am now a bit obsessed with milk bread and croquets) and fried cheese curds and fancy tea (like extremely posh and gorgeous stuff, this kid worked in a tea shop for years and knows from tea yo) and our family friend (who is running a store but should be a highly paid locally famous chef, everything she cooks tastes like perfume, she’s incapable of making mediocre food; people think I’m exaggerating until they taste her cooking and then they freak out too, she’s that good) made one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever eaten (WITH a fried runny egg, good lord) and fried potato discs

AND my kid got a very decent job in their field!!!!! first real post college job (after a metric shittonne of gig work and like yearrrrrrs of HARD labor for min wage). this kid went through college slowly because we’re so broke, and has worked so hard for so long and they’ve been through so much family and personal tragedy, like the kind that’s so brutal you don’t talk about it much, if ever, and they’re gorgeous, literally, and brilliant, literally, but they’re really really quiet and calm and always serving other people, always propping up others, so they get overlooked A LOT alot a lot. this job is a big deal. they’ve been through so much, they’re afraid to be too happy about it but I’m freaking delighted for them, they deserve all the money and promotions and accolades, like allll of them i mean goddamm

and our chef friend GOT BEYONCE TICKETS and this girl lives and dies for Bey, she’s already planning her outfit and nails for the fall concert (there are going to be the most incredible Looks and Fan Homages at the shows, cannot wait to see all the pics)

food and job and tix, all on the same day 

this is a big deal for our friend, she loves Beyonce the way I love Keanu. I know everyone is suffering, but she’s an artistic genius who got a degree in business because she’s a first gen child of immigrants, so she’s running a grocery store in freaking lawrence kansas during the apocalypse. she’s always had to deal with racist and sexist shit but lately? if i could get her to wear a bulletproof vest to work, i’d feel a lot better. she gets all the bullshit and danger and none of the perks, literally none of them, not from her bosses or her employees, certainly not from abusive customers. getting Bey tix is like winning the lottery for her, it’s such a big happy thing 

everything is broken and hard and awful but there’s still incredible food and precious family and friends

feeling grateful, wanted to share because other folks good news feels personal and wonderful to me lately, like community victories, so am hoping my nice day is a good thing for yawl the way your personal victories and fun stuff is so lovely for me

buck, tommy, and maddie growing up together in hershey with maddie and tommy as best friends and buck as the clingy little brother who's all his life just known maddie taking care of him and tommy keeping his ass out of trouble. till maddie meets doug in senior year of high school and nothing changes immediately but it feels like something's slipping out of his fingers, grain by grain. come summer, right before graduation, maddie finds buck one night and tells him she's leaving with doug soon. buck is only fourteen, about to start high school himself, and he can't understand for a second, he can't believe that he's being left behind like this when everything's terrible with their parents and maddie knows it, and only maddie gets it, and what's buck supposed to do without her? at the end, he can't stop her, and tommy can't stop her either, and in his anger and indignation, buck's only consolation is that tommy's still there.

tommy who works as a handyman with his dad during days, helping out with the main diner on the weekends, running errands for the post office and the shop owners left and right. tommy who knows everyone's name and everyone knows his name in return. tommy who seems destined to this town. tommy who seems like will never leave this town. tommy who will never leave buck. and buck tells him. buck, angry and sad and only a teenager, says who cares what maddie does, if she wants to leave she can, buck will just hang out with tommy and maybe he can teach him how to do roofing or plumbing or work on cars, and buck then can get a job that way, save money, leave his parents' home as soon as possible, and he's so excited, so naive and sweet and bright-eyed babbling about his plans. only for tommy to interrupt him mid-sentence: he's leaving pennsylvania soon, he's just got his enlistment documents

Doddles of Holm and his big sis. :3c

I have a lot feelings about them and in my mind this is what their sibling dynamic is like. I can picture them bickering a lot as children maybe even fighting a little bit but at the end of the day they still love and care about each other as brother and sister.

He he I also bet, she talks to Kabru about Holm sometimes, while he can rather bothersome and annoying to her; she is still very proud of her baby brother. Also, she probably shares some of Holm’s more embarrassing moments in his life with Kabru as well much to his dismay.

Also, I like the idea of both the Kranom siblings being above average in gnome height.

dabi doing toga's hair because he used to do fuyumi's dabi helping tomura and spinner when they get stuck on game levels like he used to do with natsuo compress and kurogiri parenting the league and both dabi and toga don't know what to do with the attention and unconditional love twice being like a big brother to all of them, most of whom have never had an older sibling before the league being family to each other because most of them either don't have family or don't have family that wants them (or that they think want them)

Folks not beating the thirsty allegations over that volume 29 Sukuna cover, I see.

Late night Van doodles

It’s Christmas morning and your parents actually got you that 7ft tall robot jester you’ve been raving about and now you have to awkwardly unwrap them in front of the rest of your family.

Me, every time I think about Inabi, Yashino, and Tekka rolling up to talk shit to twelve year old Itachi and call him names for not folding under their threats: Are you not embarrassed. Are you not ashamed of yourselves. Bullying a child at your grown age.

Sorry going a bit feral over here because I just realized, when Jun-ho started looking for In-ho he had only been missing for a few days, the days he was on the island already preparing for the games. So this means that he and Jun-ho and their mom were in regular contact. Even if it's just texts but they were hearing from each other regularly. But then after season 1 he obviously had to cut contact because otherwise he would either put him and the games or Jun-ho and his mother in danger and just. He still had his family. Even after his wife died and he won the games he still had some family, his mom and his brother and then he had to take that from himself too, to protect them. How lonely must that be. Do you think he was checking on them, sending people to the hospital to see if Jun-ho woke up from his coma? Do you think that he made that boat guy give him regular updates on how Jun-ho was doing emotionally?

Do you think that the first time In-ho was able to have at least something close to genuine human connection again after four years of isolation was when he entered the games as 001? It was probably the first time in YEARS that he was able to joke around and be part of a group and connect with people and in the end he still had to get rid of it again. The knowledge that this isn't forever and actually it's really only for a few days and then it's also all a lie on his side and he will have to watch all these people die. And that's probably why he got so into it and genuienly cheered and maybe even forgot that he is in fact the evil mastermind behind it all. Can You Imagine How Lonely He Is???

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

Admittedly maybe this is just because I only got through season 1 of Elena of Avalor before getting sidetracked (and right now I don’t think I have the time to continue binging), but at least from what I’ve seen there, I feel like it’s not acknowledged enough the fact that Esteban was the only member of the family to have aged a whole 41 years

Though specifically, I mean the family doesn’t seem to address this that much

Like, before Shuriki, Esteban was only a couple years older than Elena, wasn’t he? He was probably less than a decade older than Isabel. And now suddenly for them, he’s a full grown man, presumably around 60

Is this not weird for them? No adjusting period? Like okay, maybe I can understand Elena because she was semi-aware of time passing, and then maybe Fransisco and Luisa since they’ve lived a long time and saw their own children grow up into full adults, so it’s at least semi familiar, but is it not weird for Isa, her teenage cousin now suddenly being an old man? Especially because he was living with them for presumably the majority of her life

I don’t know if I’m explaining myself right, but it just sort of irks me how they seem to accept this new circumstance so quickly

I mean, I guess I get it, it’s a Disney Junior show, maybe they don’t want to deal with all that drama, especially within the first season of the show where this would be most prevalent, but you know

Hopefully there’s fanfiction of what I want somewhere

also I think it’s time for a little Elly Lore Update because I feel like I mention so many people on here and y’all need to understand who I’m taking about when you attend the virtual sleepovers 😌

can't get over that post that went 'there's no excuse for not reading' like im sorry but who the fuck are you....

like if white ppl wanted to make a movie about learning from ur mistakes and reconciling with your past they should’ve just made it about someone who like cheated or whatever not about a very real situation that kills, torture, rapes and kidnaps hundreds of mexicans everyday and doesn’t even let us have small businesses or go outside or live normal everyday lives bc of how much damage it has caused in our society like kys jacques audiard and everyone involved in that movie
