Had a couple cool dreams, but I forgot most of them

In one I went to work at a football field as part of the field maintenance crew. It was going well until I realized, “hey, I’m actually supposed to have an internship this summer” and that I was at the wrong job. I stuck around a little to hang out with the employees before leaving.

My next dream was my longest, but I forgot nearly all of it. The premise was that I was a spaceman who had to escape an evil dictator and fix my ship with the help of my good friend Brian Cranston

And my last one was a dream I’ve had before, but years ago. I was part of a group of hundreds of students going to an event in an auditorium. After act 1 of the event, everyone left to do breakout groups, but I stayed in the auditorium to see what would happen.

The presenters stayed on stage and started doing mad science. I got up really close to see what they were doing, and they didn’t seem to notice. When the rest of the group came back into the auditorium, they revealed what they had been working on: a big bean burrito.

Then they sicced people in demon costumes on the people in the auditorium, and things went to shit. I lost my phone and met up with my friend Ethan (different Ethan), who said that in the breakout groups he had had to sequence my DNA (presumably for something related to the burrito)

three favorite foods: strawbebbies... dumplings... burritos... <3

dream trip: honestly idk! i haven't done a ton of travel, but i know i would like to visit the netherlands! if we're dreaming big, i guess i would take a few weeks and travel across europe. that would be amazing. i'd also love to visit egypt someday :)

anything i want right now: um. somewhere between dinner and a clear path forward as i navigate shifting professional passion. splitting the difference... a disney day with my friends, maybe

Favorite card game?

Favorite year of your life so far?

Favorite thing about me?

HAHAH you know what game is so fun and so dumb....throw throw burrito 😂😂😂

Zach Bryan homebound unreleased on youtube has been a fave lately hahaha I really don't know why I just like the way it sounds and I just love his voice and him

Honestly, although this year has been incredibly hard, I think it's been one of my favorites. I've had a lot of self growth and I feel like I've been really trying to "practice what I preach" such as it's okay to be scared and uncomfortable, but its also okay to be brave, we can do hard things, happiness isn't always a constant but neither is sadness, fear, anger, etc. all the cliches you know😂 I could keep going on and on lol

My favorite thing about you is that you are very caring and considerate and go out of your way to bring joy to other people, so thank you for all your anons, they get my mind off of things lol

Day 239: Sunday August 27, 2023 - "Poopy Potty Star"

Wiiliam has been making a lot of great progress in potty training, even scoring himself a poo on the potty at school last week! But I am becoming more and more aware, of the weak link in his potty training - weekends with Dad! So as I mentally prepared for the coming weekend I made an intentional plan to keep potty reminders on the front of mind for both of us - if for nothing else to help with that wiring of him telling me when he felt he needed to go. I just felt I needed to get him always thinking about it with me, even when we were out doing stuff in town. We worked together on it, and everything went well. But he did have some motivation. I had taken note at how much he loved the trucks at the library earlier in the week, and so I made sure to have those exact trucks on hand. And on Friday after school I pulled him aside for a conversation. "Remember those trucks from the library?" And he immediately rattled them off, garbage truck, fire truck, dump truck. "They'll be yours, Ive got them bud, all you need to do is poop on the potty and have no dirty diapers each day and you'll have them all. And I want you to do it! Im pulling for you, because I know you can do it. And I'll help." He gave me a look, as if he were wondering if I was bluffing about having the trucks. So I showed him the unopened packages. He said "ok" and we spent the evening literally trying to poop as if he could call it forward on demand like that, and he shook with all his will trying to make it happen for that fire truck. But that poo wouldn't come until morning, fully loaded now, to unlock the Recycling/Garbage truck. And he was so happy with that for a couple hours or so until he wanted to package it up and take it back for the fire truck. I told him, all you have to do is cook up another poop and they'll both be yours! "yea"

On Sunday afternoon, after nap, William was determined to poop on the potty again, even telling me, that he would definitely let me know, and even protesting putting on a diaper. I loved his confidence and focus. He asked for Tacos for dinner. "Taco Bell?" I asked "Yes. Taco Bell" he answered. He's serious! I got him a bean and rice and cheese burrito and he loved on that for about an hour before he came to me happily and said "daddy, poo poo coming." yea baby. We're doing it now! Leveled up. I got his diaper off and he climbed up on the big toilet, no bumper seat, and delivered a very triumphant poop, and the entire I wrestled to wipe his butt, he made sure that I had not forgotten that this shitty sacrifice was given up in exchange for the fire truck. So for the second day in two days, he unwrapped a Green Toys Truck matching his library treasure trove. A fire truck to go with his recycling truck. And as he played proudly with those two, I reminded him - I've got two more. We play again tomorrow! Cook another one up and lets keep this game rolling!

I put him to be tonight really proud of myself. I made a plan to make progress in this very specific area and was very mindful of how I prioritized it and it had paid off. A whole weekend with no dirty diapers. He really was a potty star this weekend and I was proud of the Dad work I am doing. I obviously was speaking his language this weekend!

Song: Zach Bryan - Holy Roller (feat. Sierra Ferrell)

Quote: "You hurry while I stand here, trying to recapture the past. And here you are, brushing it aside, the past of tomorrow, which is the present of today, you are brushing it aside as you string along, intent on your cheap present practical and physical desires and comfort. You fool! Wait, don’t hurry. Get out of my old house! And then on the way home, I think about the fool and the other fools, and myself a fool. Hurrying away the past of tomorrow, like I had hurried away the past of today, in the past. Fools, I think. Myself a fool. I must take it slow now and look at the present and say to myself: Look, John, hold the present now because someday it will be very precious. Hug it, and hold it. And just yesterday I was sauntering home thinking about the future. The future! What a fool, I, myself, a fool, hurrying.” ― Jack Kerouac

Hawkins Wolves

I have this gif/post saved and here we go:

Fraternity Twin Harringtons

(cue Billy sweating in the background)

Bryan and Steve Harrington.

Bryan is older, has the grades (A and B averages, still great), and the name from their dad’s Scottish heritage side.

Steve is the younger twin, more athletically endeavored, and named from god only knows. He used to lie and say it was from their mom’s Greek side, just so people would stop talking about his nose. Bryan loves it and totally went with it, because hello? They have the same nose. And the same eyes and brow bones. Bryan has the narrower, V-shaped jawline while Steve’s is more square. The same hair, even if Bryan keeps his nape short and Steve’s not afraid of a mullet.

Frankly, they’re damn near identical when standing next to each other. They’re not joined at the hip, though, and are very much known as brothers instead of twins.

So Billy meets Bryan first.

Bryan is kind of an anomaly. He’s popular, and for good reasons (smart, and jaw-dropping attractive), but he tags around with Jonathan Byers. During a smoke break, Billy follows them down to a creek bed running around the school. He finds them on some boulders: Bryan is modeling up high, and Jonathan is squinting through his camera talking about lighting and, “There’s a spider web there. Watch your foot.”

Long story short: Billy likes Bryan. He doesn’t act on it, per say, but he does become a part of this portfolio pair - Jonathan practicing shutter speeds, etc., and Bryan building up a modeling portfolio.

It’s fun. It’s something to do. Billy particularly enjoys the action shots they get around the fields of Hawkins. Who knew modeling actually took work?

Then a dark red BMW parks on the side of the road behind Billy and Jonathan’s cars. The latter turns around, concerned by the sound, but Bryan reassures, “It’s my brother.”

Billy’s first thought is: Thighs.

His second is: Shoulders.

He can see immediately that the two are related but the brother is more filled out, athletically, and - “How old is he?” Billy can’t help but ask.

“About three minutes younger than me,” Bryan smiled.

The guy trots down the slope into the field to speak for himself. “Bry, if you skip breakfast again, you’re gonna be modeling for a Halloween store.”

“Not all of us have two-a-days, Vivi. I don’t need a truckload of calories.”

Vivi?

He waves a tin foil parcel in the air. Billy wondered if it’d be worth commenting on it being almost 5pm (”Golden hour!” Jonathan called it.), but he stayed quiet. “Do you know how hard it is to keep hash browns crispy? Eat your friggin’ burrito.”

“Yeah. Like you didn’t make that fresh because you ate mine during English.”

He catches the breakfast burrito when it’s thrown at him, though, and Billy is left with him while Jonathan switches cameras and film. He held his hand out and introduced himself, “Steve.”

“Ah,” Billy exhaled understanding and shook. “Billy. I’ve heard your name around.”

“My brother’s obsessed with me. It’s a twin thing.”

Said twin flipped him off in between massive bites to his burrito.

Billy corrected, “No, something about a keg record. That I beat last weekend.”

Steve took that with grace as he nodded. “Did you puke?”

Billy frowned. “No. It wouldn’t be a beaten record, then. Come to think of it, why didn’t I see you at the party?”

Bryan intercepted, “Too busy moping. He’s fresh off a break up.”

Jonathan coughed and looked like he was trying to climb into his camera bag. Billy peered between the three of them, unable to read exactly what was happening.

Steve flicked the end of his nose and leaned into a walk. Billy took that to mean he wanted a conversation alone. He didn’t expect the topic.

As they strolled by an acre of unclipped wheat, Steve hovered his hand over the fronds and said, “I’ll only say this once because I’m not his mother, but I did lose the race out of the womb. If you take advantage of my brother, I’ll put your dick in the trophy case at school next to my State trophy.”

Billy couldn’t decide which to address first: how this small-town, high school priss figured Billy out, or that he actually thought himself capable of intimidating him. Steve wore a goddamn polo underneath a sweater, for Christ sake.

Billy went with, “That’s going to make it easy for investigators to connect some dots.”

“You get my point - ”

“Yeah, I get your dull point, pretty boy. But I’m not going anywhere. I’m stuck in this shit town and it’s nice to have something to occupy myself.”

Steve stopped walking and blinked at him. “Are you modeling?”

Billy smirked. “Why? Like what you see?”

Steve’s lips pressed together a little, those large irises wandering his face before he admitted, “Nice eyes.”

And that was that.

He just left Billy in the field and strolled back to his car.

It was up to Billy to discover that Steve wasn’t the air-headed, athlete brother. Out of the two of them, Steve was the bad boy. The baby of the family with polos and clean Nikes and spare cans of mousse and hairspray for himself and his twin under the passenger seat of his car. Father-dearest’s old BMW.

And a bat with nails in his trunk.

He still couldn’t compare with the queers in mosh pits of California, but Billy discovered he kissed a whole lot better than them anyway. He cliff-dove in the frigid quarry because that’s how the swim team selects its captain. And if Billy joined him just to see those nips puckered to cut ice, only to get shoved into the water too, who is he to complain?

Steve Harrington made him pop a boner in late November waters and then took him home for a blow job in a hot shower and homemade pot pie.

Yeah, Bryan was a looker, and Steve sometimes degraded himself as second rate, but they both showed up at the Hargrove house one night. Billy hadn’t known Steve knew his stepsister, but Max let both of them through her window, and they might’ve saved Billy’s life.

Billy would never call either of the twins bad boys out loud. But as Steve drove them - Billy, Max, Bryan, even Susan - back to the house in Loch Nora, Billy thought their faces in the dim street lighting looked like wolves. Pointed, soft, and ready.

Wolves were considered bad all the time.

Bad. Beautiful. Hunters. Thieves.

Billy earned worried and confused glances around the car when he laughed. He sat up to lean into Steve’s space and purr, “Steal me away any time, baby,” and kissed a bloody print on his jaw.

“Huh?” Steve blurted.

“He has a concussion,” Bryan declared.

[mantra4ia]

Debris: speculation and what we know so far about...

Bryan

The character is from Texas, has no siblings, and his parents are both alive.

He served in MARSOC (Marine Special Forces) in Afghanistan, where he was in a military prison in some capacity (officer or detainee unclear, but an alternate reality he's called a war criminal, so he's likely detained).

FWIW, I'm a little surprised that in an alternative reality Bryan wasn't a part of Influx. He shares a similar kind of backstory with Anson Ash.

He carries a baseball on the plane like a momento stress ball (1x03).

He eats...a lot, literally thinks with his stomach, seemingly indiscriminately (#you could just pull up a chair to the buffet). Stale Peeps, weeks old sandwiches, rewarmed burritos, anything from the minibar, etc. Maybe he was a smoker in the time before and it killed his sense of taste. Or he just has an iron stomach from his time on active duty. In any case, food seems to be his unconditional OTP. I request a GIF supercut.

He seems to know a bunch of field operatives (Lester, Sharon, John the ME, Muntz, Beck from containment) from various Orbital teams, perhaps even worked cases with a few, along with everyone in Maddox's office. He's very cordial so presumably he likes them, but in stark contrast at least half seem to decidedly dislike him with baiting antagonism, some openly hostile. Sharon: "why are you smirking at me Bryan?" Muntz, the Laghari lab tech: "I've come across plenty like you...men who play by their own rules." Beck: "They only send in the A-team when they want the agents to survive...easy for you to say, I'm the one who had to tell his wife". No wonder he feels a bit ostracized. Perhaps his reputation (impulsive?) proceeds him or perhaps he's been labeled an "unlucky" partner that misfortune follows so he gets kept at a distance?

The exception to the above seems to be Gary Garcia, the former scientist that helps hide George. May be former partners if the audio during credit rolls is any indication, and knows about Bryan's health / injections. They appear close. Perhaps because they share a mentality: both presumably injured in their line of work at Orbital, and they know what it means to have to rely on yourself.

When we meet Finola and Bryan, it seems like they've been working together for a few weeks, stateside at least (Finola's quote 1x02: Been here 3 weeks, feels like 3 years) and that he's had at least two Orbital partners prior, one (Julian / Jules) that died on duty, and the other creepy Dutch guy still living, Niels. How many more partners has he been through? Is it protocol that they get reassigned/shuffled so often to follow the debris, or so as not to form attachments "This job is about being alone, it's supposed to be...we're a blip in other people's lives", or does his personality not play well with others, like from the pilot when he tells Finola "it's been a long time since I've worked with somebody who's looked at me like another human being."

Also in 1x01 when Bryan says, "So are we now saying the debris pulled [Kieran] from the ground and added meat to his bones" and Finola says no, he was cremated, Bryan looks almost disappointed like he was momentarily more hopeful than pragmatic. At first I thought this was just a lead up to introducing the fact that George Jones was alive, but maybe another plot point is that Bryan has lost someone in duty he wants back.

He carries a picture in his front pocket of a woman with some Persian/ Farsi(?) or Urdu(?) written on the back. It's hard to tell by the script, it could be neither. When confronted by that, his clone says "I can't let it go." Old flame that was lost? Or a partner of a fallen service member killed in action —I've lost brothers— that he couldn't save (is that part of Bryan's dark guilt / grief)? Civilian casualty of a Marine mission? In the pilot when he tells Isla "you have to tell her how much you need her, I know from experience...You will not be able to forgive yourself if you don't" is Bryan thinking of this woman?

EDIT: considering the next episode is called "Asalah," which could be a woman's name, maybe that's part of the text on the back of the photo. Pure speculation.

He counts on himself to be level and composed when it comes to his emotions and apologizes when he isn't. He loses that composure in the pilot when Isla talks about family therapy and fighting with her mother after Kieran's death: "I knew someone like her once." Was Bryan referring to himself, has he been through post-service therapy? Perhaps he developed a rift with his family or left home at an early age like she did?

Bryan would be great at pub trivia night. He always seems to have an odd fact ready about NASA tech, native legends, an article about a historical building that he read, Fleetwood PA, etc. He doesn't seem the type to keep facts on standby to impress, so perhaps he's a secret bibliophile even though Finola hassles him for not reading case files.

"Fin: Maybe we should run some more tests before we continue/ Bryan: I will cut bait if you want to / Fin; let's just look out for each other" 1x02 Bryan seems more cautious than impulsive, he does a good job of listening to Finola's concerns. Is that from experience? Did he get overconfident, mishandle debris, and get permanently injured, hence the frequent blood work and injections?

"This man saved my life." Why does Bryan trust Maddox implicitly? And when Maddox says in 1x07 "Investigate quietly. I want to keep the lights off. I don't want to lose anymore lives, Bryan, okay?" is that a word of warning specially for him? Does he have a body count? (see afforementioned question of frequent work partners turnover and having an unlucky reputation)

Bryan in protective of Finola when the CIA taps her apartment. It's the straw that turns his allegiance from his agency to his partner.

I still can't place why Bryan carries a baseball — it seems like it could be a red herring, but I can't get over the visual of Maddox playing catch with Dario and reading into it as some sort of surrogate bond — or why he has a chain around his neck (1x05). It's not service tags and probably not a ring, it's some kind of pendant: a large loop encircling a dull, perhaps tarnished, gray metallic disc. A patron saint? A piece of shrapnel? A piece of debris? Unclear, but it definitely has texture or an etching.

Top Bryan Quotes

"That's the job. Impossible." 1x01 Pilot

"We are supposed to be blips in these people's lives, not memories." 1x04 In Universe

"It's been a long time since I've worked with somebody who's looked at me like another human being." 1x01

"Zippo lighters, Pyrex glassware, Crayola crayons, and of course Peeps. Insane for peeps, cracklike...we owe the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a great deal of gratitude and I am not afraid to say it." 1x02 You Are Not Alone

"I've been thinking, [about] Finola.. if MI6 knew her father was still alive they would take her out of here. We need to get home before this becomes an issue...this is going to affect her." 1x03 Solar Winds, when he's not sure how her father will affect her empathetic-based decision-making

Craig: "You hated the creepy Dutch guy." / Bryan: "He was adorable."

"Well, one of my tips for survival, Muntz, is always let the other guy touch the debris first." 1x03 So is that what happened to Garcia?

To Finola "I realize I tend to forget that there's still magic to discover in the world. But not you." 1x03

"There are things that you understand about life that I don't, and I respect that. But there are things that I know that you will not find very palatable...I am going to focus on the people that we're saving and not the ones that we can't." 1x04

"If we don't act, we might not be able to stop the terraforming. There's no way we're going to be able to win all these, and I know that every cell in your body right now is screaming for you to do what you think is right. I need you to go against that. I need you to trust me." 1x04

"Finola's capable. I trust her instincts." 1x08 Spaceman

"I'm running on sugar and coffee for the rest of the day" 1x07 You Can Call Her Caroline, but really isn't that Bryan everyday?

"When I tell you that I understand, it's not empty...I lost brothers. It destroys families. There are people who can help you with what you're going through right now...There is a way to get back from this pain. I was where you were, and the darkness almost ended me. And somebody put out his hand... I want to be there for you." 1x07

Bryan, to Vio and Nix: Could someone explain to me why there were 40 individually wrapped breakfast burritos in the fridge when I woke up this morning?

Rules: Answer 21 questions and tag 21 people you would like to get to know better!

Nickname? Jules, mostly! Though some people call me Julie irl, and there’s one coworker who used to call me The Jewel, which I really liked lmao. Here, I mostly get Angel, which makes sense.

Real name? Julia

Zodiac? Taurus

Favorite musicians or groups? Mumford and Sons is the most obvious one, I think. Also Florence, Bear’s Den, idk, anything I can write to.

Favorite sports teams? I was SUPER into FC Barcelona for a bit a few years ago. But overall probably the Red Sox? Baseball was the only local sport I liked watching growing up.

Other blogs? Nope!

Do I get asks? I do! I get very excited every time I get one! 

How many blogs do I follow? 402

Tumblr crushes? Everyone who reaches out to me and wants to talk to me because I am that Bryan Cranston “me?” gif every time. 

Lucky numbers? 15

What am I wearing? Gray jeggings, a purple tank top, and a light blue Mirage sweatshirt. Also a comfy blanket.

Dream vacation? I’ve always really wanted to go to Nepal and go to Everest. Not climb it. Just like...see it. I would never climb it. Are you kidding? But Nepal looks beautiful, and I’d love to go. I’d also love to go to Australia or New Zealand or the Philippines, and I think mostly those are such dream vacations because I know I’d never survive that flight, so I think about it a lot. 

Dream car? The only car I’ve ever felt some degree of passion for is a mini cooper, so I’ll say that. Though I test drove one and it stalled as I was getting off the highway, so like...not the best impression lmao.

Favourite food? Burritos. Any kind of burritos, but specifically from this mexican place in my hometown that I love. 

Drink of choice? Seltzer water. I’m def one of those people. Though coffee is pretty high up there. And those Crisp Pear Red Bulls are fucking delicious. 

Instruments? Once I taught myself how to play the Rohan theme from the Two Towers on my keyboard by ear, and that’s the extent of any musical talent I’ve ever had.

Languages? English, with a bit of French and Spanish. I was actually a French minor in college, which is hilarious, because I know more Spanish than French now. 

Celebrity crushes? Definitely Nikolaj Coster Waldau. Oscar Isaac. Tessa Thompson. 

Random facts? One time I wrote a book report on Don Quixote in the 6th grade, which I picked out of the middle school library because it was the longest book and we were only allowed to take out one book a week. As a fast reader, i thought I was a genius to pick the longest book so that I could get the most use out of it. My teacher assumed my mom wrote the book report and we both got called into the office and the principal accused me of cheating and it SUCKED

Another fun one is that I’m terrified of flying, and only DESPERATELY wanting to go places can get me on a plane. 2 of the last 3 times I’ve flown have been to go watch FC Barcelona play.

Bryan Holaday stood in front of the home dugout at Marlins Park in June, leaned back against the padded railing, then let his face say what his mouth couldn’t.

“How much do you really know Max?” the Miami Marlins catcher asked, grinning, because that’s a complex question when discussing one of the best pitchers of his generation. “I would need him to sign papers before I shared too much. Otherwise, he’d kill me.”

All of the stories from Max Scherzer’s catchers are amazing, but, like:

Brad Flanders, University of Missouri, 2004: Flanders was a senior when the hard-thrower arrived at Missouri, itching to pitch. One day, the veterans challenged Scherzer to take down three Chipotle burritos in one sitting. “Just because everyone said he couldn’t do it,” Flanders remembered before adding: “And he didn’t skimp on any of the toppings.”

J.C. Field, Missouri, 2005-06: Field got to campus a year after Scherzer, as a community college transfer, and heard the Scherzer buzz. He heard that Scherzer “blew up” in the Northwoods League. He heard, more than once, a tale that already was lore in the Missouri locker room: “This is the guy who apparently ate three burritos at one time,” Field remembered thinking. “So that told me he wanted to be challenged on the mound.”

Some of them are more amazing than others.
