The Fairy and the Prince #1

So alright, this is going to be an experiment for me. I write. I like writing. I am terrible at prompts and I have no idea how writing commissions work. But. The story that starts here is too long for one post. It’s too short for a book. It’s a Novella, I think they’re called. It’s Fantasy. I wrote it because the trope of “fairy/mortal romance always ends in tragedy” irks the crap out of me. It shouldn’t take the radical destruction of a partner’s nature to get your Happily Ever After. It’s going to update every other week, like clockwork even! If I can figure out Queueing in Tumblr. I need that week in between because I’m also writing more about ser Lyrian, and that’s supposed to go in the in-between week once I have more of a buffer. In any case. The tags are #Linden the fairy, #Adam the prince, #Linden and Adam, #The Fairy and the Prince. I don’t know how many parts there are, I end chapters when the chapters end. It’s at a little over 20K words at this point and not quite finished yet. It’s also not edited, so be kind.

Part 1 - Part 2 - Parts 3 & 4 - Part 5 - Part 6, 7 & 8 - Part 9 & 10 - Part 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16 - Part 17, 18, & 19 - Part 20, 21 & 22 - Part 23, 24, 25 & 26 - Part 27, 28, 29 & 30 - Part 31, 32, 33 & 34 - Part 35, 36 & 37 - Part 38, 39, 40 & 41 - Part 42 & 43 - Part 44 & 45 - Part 46 & 47 - Part 48, 49, 50 & 51 - Part, 52, 53 & 54 - Part 55 & 56 - Part 57, 58, 59 & 60 - Part 61, 62, 63, 64 & 65 - Part 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 & 72

Prince Adam met Linden while escaping his geography lessons.

Geography is one of those things everyone should know and no one wants to learn. The Queen Dowager had commanded that it be taught to the mob of prospective heirs to the throne that she'd gathered in the Royal palace, among with many other sciences and arts. Then again, the same august and childless lady had also commanded that they be taught the finer points of fencing, wrestling and knife-fighting, so everyone had a good, if resignedly terrified idea as to how she meant to solve the matter of succession without actually making a choice and angering a niece or nephew. However, these were also the same people who'd agreed to drop off their kids at the palace and under her supervision.

In any case, Adam had no more fondness for his geography studies than any other of the Princes at hand. He was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough that, the youngest of the candidates at nine years, by the time his geography lessons rolled around the teacher, a dour old priest of the Tree-Father, was either already asleep, or nearly there. All he had to do was read quietly, peeking up, until the man started snoring.

Which he'd done.

He'd only meant to slip out onto the balcony and sit on the ornate stone railing. But the day was lovely and still young, and he'd realized that one of the gutters ended not too far from the balcony, the spout carved like a horse's head. He'd leapt lightly onto it and charged into many a battle on his moss-painted steed before a nearby cornice had caught his eye. From there he'd climbed several fashionable false arches, like a great explorer over vast mountain ranges. Then he'd leapt and caught an old arrow-slit by his fingertips, and climbed further up, until he could tip-toe along a gutter made slick by decades of rain-feed moss.

By then he was nearly six stories off the ground.

He stalled after having raced along a lip of brick, mortar and stone barely wider than his fine leather slippers, which he'd already thrown off at some point between mountain-exploring and harpy-fighting (there had been three particularly angry swallows with nests under another balcony). The gutter there ended in a fish-head spout, and there the palace itself turned in a sharp corner, rather than a round tower curve.

Adam glowered at the lack of further road in impotent anger. After a few minutes, however, anger grew boring with no one there to look upon it, and he put his mind to more practical concerns. He was a clever young man, forced by circumstance to become even cleverer, struggling to leave childhood behind just to survive the deadly competition he found himself in. He was a lovely child, a little on the slim side, with his father's curly black hair and his mother's (and grand-aunt's) narrow, firm features, black brows and deep blue eyes, pale skin quickly growing pink because no one could keep him out of the summer sun for long.

A decorative ledge above him caught his eye. It was a mirror of the one he was standing on. On his tiptoes, he couldn't reach it, his fingers just shy of the goal. If he leapt, though...

He glanced over his shoulder. Far below he could just see the tops of the trees, swaying in the afternoon breeze like fretful nannies. Beyond them were the muddy grounds of the expanding Royal Gardens, and beyond that was the dark green smudge of the Hunting Woods. But there was no one to tell him no, and so he leapt.

He caught the ledge, and almost immediately his right hand slipped. The ledge was, he realized belatedly, much larger than he'd expected, and at a slant, meant to shed water off from whatever might lie beyond it. Years of rain had left it as slippery as the gutters.

He tried to find the ledge below his feet, but he was just high enough that his questing toes couldn't reach it. He tried to grip the ledge once again, but couldn't find a place that wouldn't spit out his fingers. His left hand was slipping, and for the first time it occurred to prince Adam that he might have been a mite unwise in his choice of entertainment for the afternoon. Grunting with effort he tried to lift himself up one-handed onto the ledge.

His left hand slipped.

Adam was weightless for a single, fragile moment, the tiny space between his heart beating and his breath catching.

Then he realized there was a small, strong hand gripping his left wrist, and looked up into the face of the most extraordinary creature he would ever meet in his life.

The stranger laughed, a merry and carefree sound, the ringing of cheerful bells. "You're not very good at this, are you?"

They were wearing mismatched clothing, pants too big and tied with twine around the waist, folded many times over at the leg, shirt worn so thin the sun shining at the edge of the roof behind them showed skinny arms and a slender, graceful neck. Their hair was white and fine, tipped in dark gold, a halo around a fine-boned, acorn-brown face. But their eyes...

Their eyes were shattered glass.

Adam blinked, enthralled. They were brown and green, blue and hazel; it was as if someone had taken chapel windows and made them into eyes, glorious and random and full of lights. He fought to grip the ledge with his right hand, and finally found a spot willing to meet him halfway. "It's my first time climbing this high up!" he protested.

The stranger, brown and lithe and mismatched in every way, laughed again, glad and guileless, and helped Adam scrabble onto the ledge.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" the Prince asked.

The stranger jerked back in surprise, blinked pointedly, and then squinted at Adam. "Nothing. What's wrong with yours?" they challenged.

"Nothing," Adam replied, flopping onto the ledge, which was far larger than he'd expected, the slate and stone of it sun-warm. "Other than they're boring, I suppose." He rolled over, trying to catch his breath. The blue sky above him vanished behind that white-haired face, far too close to his. "Gah!"

"What's boring about them?" the stranger demanded. "I think they're lovely. Like a bluebird's feathers." They reached out to try and pry at Adam's eyes, and the prince swatted that hand aside.

"What are you doing? It's rude to touch people without their permission!"

Fine white brows went up. "Should I have asked permission to catch you when you slipped?"

"That's different," Adam sat up, and his new acquaintance, kneeling by him, leaned back on the heels of their bare, muddy feet. "Of course you don't ask someone if you can save their life, you just do it. But when it's not important, you should always ask. It's good manners." The young prince flopped back down again. "Thank you for catching me."

"You're welcome," the stranger seemed to be mulling on Adam's words, and once again that fine-boned, brown face filled his field of view. "I don't think you're boring. I liked how you fought the swallow-harpies."

"Have you been watching me all this time?!" Adam burst up to a sitting position again.

"Yes," his savior admitted blithely. "It was much more exciting than me just climbing to catch the sun."

"Catch the sun?"

"Yes, see?" The stranger reached into a pocket of their oversized pants and pulled out something that gleamed too brightly for Adam to really see, something warm and golden like fat drops of honey held in the cup of that muddy, small hand. "It's not a lot."

"It's more than I could ever get," Adam replied, intrigued. "I didn't even know you could catch the sun like that."

"Well, it is tricky," they admitted, a delicate fluster on the brown and high cheeks revealing faint green freckles as they pocketed the sun drops again.

"What do you even do with it?" Adam asked curiously, examining his feet and finding them incredibly filthy; for some reason this pleased him immensely.

"I bring them into the woods, where the normal sun doesn't reach."

"Oh, that would be so helpful to everything there!" Adam exclaimed, and his companion flushed even deeper, all unnoticed. By the time the young prince turned to face them, they were sitting cross-legged next to the boy. "By the way, I'm prince Adam Lestrelle. But it's fine to just call me Adam." He offered his hand, trying to make the gesture very grand and grown-up.

"Oh, Adam's a good name. Better than Prince, anyways, there's too many Princes here, it'd get confusing really quickly. I think you might be the only Adam."

"I am," he admitted. "I'm also the youngest. And you?"

"Ugh." The stranger took Adam's hand; their grip was strong, dry, warm, like wood softly polished by age and use, and warmed by summer daylight. "Me too. I hate it. There's nothing good about being the youngest." They licked their lips in thought, and then nodded, seeming to have come to a decision. "You can call me Linden."

"Like the tree?"

"Yes."

Adam considered. "It suits you." He leaned closer a bit and sniffed, making Linden look at him curiously. "You smell like them, too."

Linden shoved him. "Of course I do!" They sprung up to their feet, and offered a hand. "Come on, then. Palace won't climb itself!"

There was a challenging, welcoming grin on Linden's face, as bright as the white of their hair. Adam grinned back, took their hand, and let them help him to his feet.

A Jikook Guide to RunBTS: 112-121

Yes, I'm still doing these! It's just happening more slowly than I'd like because writing for work + writing fic + trying to go to bed before midnight + so much amazing content being released that clearly must be poured over and dissected = less time to make guides. For anyone still with me, he's the next section!

Ep 112 “Dalbang School Part 1” (Ep: 5 / KM: 4)

The ones with BTS in a classroom driving Teacher Jin insane

5:58 - JM declares that he and Taehyung will pair up (by being the first to hug each other in a game), but then when Hobi blows the whistle at 6:38, JK runs over to hug JM before Tae can get to him.

6:58 - Jin asks why JM said he wanted Tae and then hugged JK. JM explains that he didn't hug him, he just found himself in JK's hug as JK cackles in the background.

7:24 - When Jin blows his whistle at the class, JK and JM mirror each other in putting a finger in one of their ears.

7:35 - Teammates JK and JM are immediately on the same page about wanting their team name to be Kim Seokjin. When they have to change it, JM quickly picks up JK's suggestion that they call their team Bang Sihyuk. These don't sound like particularly unique moments, but when you watch it, it just really strikes you how in sync the two of them are in terms of physicality, ideas, and sense of humor.

9:52 - After Jin comments that he heard JM did very well in school, JK adds that JM was the top student. When someone else asks if JM was the best or second-best, JK forcefully reiterates that he was the best student.

12:45 - When they get a question right, JK and JM clasp hands and bump their shoulders together.

13:10 - JM and JK both goof around, speaking in satoori and challenging JHope to a fight of sorts.

13:27 - When Jin repeats that they got the question right, JK and JM do exactly the same as 12:45, but seated this time.

14:22, 14:36, 15:13 - In all three of these moments, JM nearly falls over laughing at something JK did that no one else found anywhere near as funny.

23:36 - When JK says he's good at this game, JM laughs and pokes JK in the chest with a marker.

BEHIND 2:30 - JM takes a selfie of him and JK with his personal phone while they're supposed to be paying attention to Jin.

6:35 - JK cheers on JM and calls him Jimin-ssi when JM announces he's doing well on this spot-the-difference round. When Jimin modifies the brag to say he only found four, JK says "that's still quite impressive."

Ep 113 “Dalbang School Part 2” (Ep: 5 / KM: 4)

4:50 - We all know how JK is when he gets into his "focus" zone, especially in a competitive environment. But here, when JM rather rudely interrupts JK's melodica practice, JK just starts playing around with him and giggles.

7:41 - As RM & JH take their turn, jikook are whispering to each other in the back row.

11:42 - After quickly agreeing on a lunch option, jikook do a high five / handshake thing and then JM says "we think alike" and "we get along pretty well." JK responds "that's exactly it" and the on-screen captions tells us they are a "good match."

22:20 - This is where JK and JM start switching back and forth carrying each other on their backs to get under a limbo stick.

They go again at 23:35, 26:11, and 28:13.

And again at 30:22 and 32:16 and 34:30 because, even though they lost, they want to try to do it again to show that they can as a "matter of pride."

25:00 - JK points something out to JM and then pats his butt.

33:33 - JM announces they lost, and then jikook do another handshake / high five thing.

34:33 - JM does an... interesting pose for the camera where he puts his hand on a bent-over JK's back and smirks.

34:56 - Yet another handshake and JM pats JK on the back when they finally pass the limbo challenge.

BEHIND 5:55 - While examining the limbo setup, JM comments that JK is good at this. JK comes over to give a demonstration and JM watches him be silly with it and says "he's a strange kid" fondly.

6:21 - Another jikook limbo attempt - this one was cut because they did it too easily.

Ep 114 “League of Number One Part 1” (Ep: 3 / KM: 1)

The ones where BTS play games with League of Legends world champions

3:55 - After Jimin protests that he shouldn't be out, JK tells his hyung to turn around and face the back.

18:18 - JK mimics Jimin's BWL intro.

Ep 115 “League of Number One Part 2” (Ep: 2 / KM: .5)

BEHIND

7:05 - JK comes over to check on Jimin's phone to make sure he's actually visible in the selfie the teams take.

Ep 116 “Team-Building Special Part 1” (Ep: 4 / KM: 1)

22:14 - JM and JK play around with the jump rope during breaktime.

22:26 - JM and JK play around like they're boxing with each other.

BEHIND 5:15 - JK appears to take an interest in watching JM's... back as he moves around acting out potential poses.

Ep 117 “Team-Building Special Part 1” (Ep: 4 / KM: 2)

5:30 - Despite showing pretty much everyone else touching everyone else in the pose guessing game, we don't get a single shot here or in the behind of JK feeling up Jimin. The above photo proves that it happened, though, so definitely side-eyeing the editors, here.

BEHIND 5:35 - JK keeps throwing water bottles when they're supposed to be taking a group photo. Jimin pulls him back next to him and puts an arm around his neck. JK puts an arm around Jimin's shoulders in return.

7:51 - After it's explained that JK is staying late to watch Jin do his penalty, a packed-up Jimin comes over and stands next to JK, waiting until they're done to leave.

Ep 118 “Photo Story Part 1” (Ep: 3 / KM: 3)

The ones where BTS play a Samsung-sponsored game involving getting specific pictures while a spy tries to ruin the fun

4:22 - JM appears to direct JK to go punish Tae and pats JK's back when he starts to obey. Something happens that we don't see when the angle changes - next thing we see, JM seems to be pushing JK? JM then giggles at JK pretending to beat up Tae. (After this, JK spins around like a ballerina. Not jikook-related, just adorable.)

29:51 - JK calls Jimin twice without adding "hyung."

32:28 - JM pulls JK along by the wrist. Meanwhile, J-Hope once again mixes up their names.

32:44 - Though there is now a group walking slowly together and he doesn't need to pull him along anymore, Jimin takes JK's hand again.

37:02 - There are a bunch of seats open in the room, but Jimin walks over to sit right next to JK.

BEHIND 5:40 - When JM tries to steal a post-it from JK, JK scolds him in satoori banmal. JM calls him out for not calling him with hyung and JK quickly apologizes (in a way some k-army jikookers have said is like how a married person would respond to their nagging spouse!).

6:09 - JK and JM meet up and JK tells JM he's exhausted. There's a kind of weird moment that I fully admit I may be reading too much into where JK seems to be walking right towards JM, then abruptly stops and turns, looking at the camera, before walking with Jimin in a different direction than he had been heading. Then, JM says he thinks their matching shirts are hilarious and that it's funny they're wearing them for the show.

Ep 119 “Photo Story Part 2” (Ep: 4 / KM: 3)

8:21 - "You are me, I am you" moment: Jimin does a ballet spin the same way JK did in part one.

11:18 - JK is the only one to vote for JM to be able to keep a picture in other than Jin (who has nefarious reasons for doing so).

29:40 - JM goes over to help JK see how many of his photos the spy ruined and almost falls over laughing when it becomes clear it's nearly all of them.

34:21 - JM puts his hand on JK's shaking leg to help calm him (see above photo), but JK is so irritated that it doesn't work like it usually does. Poor bunny!

35:17 - JM pulls at JK's shirt and hand, then folds over his back while trying to get him to confess that he actually lost.

38:24 - JM has a comforting hand on JK's neck when he's acting upset about losing.

38:32 - When it seems like JK is struggling to come up with an ending statement, JM helps prompt him.

BEHIND

0:55 - JK talks about how amazing it is that Jimin found so many cards.

3:51 - When JK is playing with the sequin art on the front of his shirt, JM leans over and starts rubbing on them, too.

5:11 - Jimin tells JK that, if he wins, he's going to make the loser hike Mt. Achasan. JK asks why he's looking at him when he says that and they both laugh. Jimin pats JK's chest and they laugh even harder. Jin and Tae both have "omg, these two" looks on their faces.

Ep 120 “Reply BTS Village Part 1” (Ep: 3 / KM: 2)

The ones with a real-life Mafia game inexplicably set in a 1970s village. It's... fairly difficult to follow, but the guys are into it and the outfits are great!

24:40 - Jimin breaks character and laughs when asking JK if he's the culprit.

29:40 - Caption: "The air is undeniably tense between Gamer Jeon and Chief Park." Not explicitly jikook, I just find it funny that the writers seem to be playing with some real life relationships, making sope best friends and jikook have tension that leads to banter...

BEHIND

5:34 - When Jimin is playing with the yo-yo, JK expresses concern that he's going to hurt his fingers (caption: Kook is just worrying for his hyung). Then, JK asks poutily and in banmal if he can play with the yo-yo multiple times and Jimins says no. Like, JK straight-up gives his hyung a command ("let me try that") using informal speech and no one bats an eye!

5:58 - Jimin starts singing a song about an ants. JK watches him. JK initially says to Hobi "look, he's a fool/dummy!" (in banmal again), then starts singing along. He jokes that JM doesn't know all the lyrics and Jimin says back "quiet, you."

Ep 121 “Reply BTS Village Part 2” (Ep: 3 / KM: 2)

38:48 - After having asked for it a bunch in the Behind of the previous episode, JK now has Jimin's yoyo.

non-jikook note: At the end of this one, they "time travel" to solve a mystery in Joseon-era Korea and I can't express how badly I want to see that. Please come back to that, Run!

BEHIND 0:58 - Jimin and JK play around accusing each other with exaggerated accents and formality. Jimin comes up behind JK and reaches out to touch his shoulder, but stops when Tae joins them and accuses them of plotting together.

9:05 - When JK says everyone else is so good at acting, Jimin compliments him that he was very funny towards the end.

I made a human.

Yes, I made a human.  I gave birth to a baby boy!  Here’s my birth story: On Wednesday July 14th I went for my routine 36 week OB-Gyn checkup.  At that visit they did a sonogram and everything looked normal, baby was in the 46th percentile for size.  The Dr. checked my cervix and I was 2 cm dilated already.  My blood pressure was high, which it had been for 6 weeks, but I did not have preeclampsia (yet - I was borderline.)  The Dr. took me off work and said if I did not deliver by next week Thursday July 22 I would need to be induced.  My blood pressure was causing really bad swelling everywhere in my body, but especially my calves, ankles, feet and wrists.  I weighed 251 lbs at the checkup, about 55 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight.  So I went into work with my disability form all filled out and basically peaced out, said goodbye to a few of my coworkers and my boss, and I ain’t lookin’ back.  I went home, much to my husband’s surprise (he was working from home that day.)  I’d like to say I enjoyed the last week of my pregnancy but that’s not entirely true.  I was in terrible discomfort, especially my pelvis: I was having bad pelvic pain & pressure, so bad I could barely walk. The night of Monday July 19th I could hardly walk up the stairs to my bed, it hurt so bad.  I did have surprisingly restful night’s sleep that night, which was good because of what was to come... At 5 am on Tuesday July 20th, I rolled over in bed and felt a wetness.  Unsure if I peed myself or if my water broke, I went into the bathroom.  Clear fluid was running down my legs, and it didn’t smell like pee.  The puddle on my sheets didn’t either.  I called the OB-Gyn’s office from the bathroom. and the Dr. on call told me if contractions started on their own to head into the hospital.  If they didn’t start on their own, head in anyway but wait until after 8:30, 9 am.  So I took a shower, made some toast & a banana for breakfast, and unloaded the dishwasher.  Around 6 am I had my first contractions, but they weren’t too strong and they were about 7 or 8 minutes apart.  I woke up my husband and told him I thought my water broke, and I was having contractions.  He leapt out of bed and into the shower.  As I lay on the bed waiting for him, the contractions were coming closer together (4-5 minutes apart) and getting stronger.  My husband got dressed and I called my mom.  She said she’d meet us at the hospital and we grabbed the overnight bags and diaper bag and went straight to the hospital. My husband drove like a panicked maniac, and I was gritting my teeth in the passenger seat with every contraction.  We got to the hospital and I refused to let my husband get me a wheelchair, I wanted to walk in on my own.  I had a contraction in the parking lot and barely made it to the 2nd floor to Labor & Delivery.  By now it was around 7:30 am.  They took me into a triage room for a  workup, I changed into a gown, and a nurse put the fetal heart monitor on me.  I got to listen to that little galloping horse heartbeat, nice and strong.  In came a Dr. and 2 students, they did a history on me and after a very uncomfy pelvic exam it was determined I was 8 cm dilated and fully effaced!  (The student who first checked me said I was 4 cm... the actual Dr determined it was 8... kind of a big difference!)  The contractions were pretty much on top of each other by now, only a minute apart.  I was moved straight into the delivery room, without stopping in a labor room first. This was at around 9:30 am maybe? I got to 10 cm in less than than 2 hours, and ready to push.  I didn’t even have a hospital bracelet or an IV, things were moving way too fast.  The Dr. showed up fully gowned, and they got me on the table and ready to go.  This was the first time my mom was able to see me, she’d been waiting over an hour, since I was expected to be in labor a lot longer! I was ready to push at just before 10 am and I was absolutely terrified, I was so not ready.  I had a birth plan packed in my overnight bag.  In it, I requested an epidural.  I wanted pain meds, to be able to sleep and rest during labor... My husband brought his laptop, we had a bluetooth speaker ready to play music in the delivery room... All of this was shot right out the window.  I was terrified of the prospect of pushing, terrified of the pain.  I felt like I had to take a massive poop, and even screamed “I’m gonna poop!” in the delivery room.  My mom and the Dr were like “Just do it! That’s the baby coming out!”  I pushed maybe a dozen times? Twice for every contraction.  I squeezed my husband’s hand and felt my mom’s hand on my forehead.  I was drenched in sweat from head to toe and shaking like crazy.  They told me not to scream, that I was wasting energy I needed to funnel into pushing -  but, like, ok, it hurts!  I was hurling 4-letter words (and I never swear around my mom,) and gripping onto the back of the pillow under my head (which didn’t help the poor nurse still trying to stick an IV in my arm - they blew a vein in my left hand and ended up putting the IV in my right wrist - normally I’m bad with needles but I was in so much pain I didn’t even care.)  The fetal heart monitor wasn’t working anymore, because the baby was moving down the birth canal.  The excess skin & fluid on my lower abdomen made it difficult to get a reading, so a nurse was literally pushing the monitor hard into my belly, while I was trying to push at the same time.  Eventually they used an internal monitor, this thing that looks like a cattle prod that attached to the top of the baby’s head, under the scalp, through the cervix.  Luckily I didn’t know that had happened until after he was born. After about 15 minutes of pushing, and my poor crying husband looking like he was about to pass out (he hates seeing me in pain.) I gave birth to a baby boy at 10:14 am.  It’s the most bizarre feeling in the world: like I was a bottle of champagne and he was the cork.  I could feel everything since I had no drugs, the baby’s head and shoulders popping out and the gush of fluids afterwards. I did need a few stitches, I had a second degree tear, but I never felt that or the placenta being delivered. The whole room was in a flurry, there was at least 1 dozen people there - the Dr, an instructor, several students, nurses and my mom & husband.  I was the talk of labor & delivery that day: the first-timer who came in at 7:30 and had a baby less than 3 hours later.  The baby was put right on my chest after he was born.  I had my eyes closed pretty much the entire time I had been pushing, but I opened them when I felt that warm, wiggly little baby on me.  He was absolutely beautiful, rosy pink and screaming.  My husband said he was born with his eyes open, arms and legs flailing, and a very healthy set of lungs.  He scored a 9 on his one-minute Apgar and a 9 on the 5-minute too: the highest score you can get!  He weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz and was 20.25 inches long.  My husband cut the cord (squeamishly) and my mom and him just gushed over this perfect little guy.  I was exhausted but exhilarated, I felt triumphant!  I had given birth with no drugs, all natural, and made it out to tell the tale. I had no idea my body was capable of that, but it knew more than I did.... We (me, my mom, and my husband) were able to stay in the delivery room for 2 hours after the baby’s birth.  We finally agreed on a name (well, I proposed the name and wouldn’t take no for an answer - after all, who had just given birth anyways?)  We decided on Owen Paul.  Owen because I love the name and it means “warrior”, and Paul after my brother who passed away 19 years ago.  It somehow fits him perfectly, he looks like an Owen.  He’s got beautiful red-gold hair that swirls on his head, and dark blue eyes that I’m hoping stay that color.  I was able to start nursing him right away (my nursing journey is a story for another time, though...) and we were all able to bond.  It was a wonderful experience, and it is true what they say: you forget all the pain once you lay eyes on the little miracle.  Maybe it’s the huge rush of hormones that causes this amnesia, but it really is true.  I’d do it all over again!

I’ve lost nearly all the weight I gained during pregnancy, since it was pretty much all baby, placenta, amniotic fluid and the fluid that was blowing me up like a balloon.  I’m not in any pain, even with the stitiches. I only took a few Tylenol the first couple of days, I guess I have a pretty high tolerance!  I’m feeling good, all things considered, and healthy.  It’s nice not to have that constant pelvic pain anymore. Owen is going to be 2 weeks old tomorrow, and it’s been a huge adjustment (an obvious understatement.)  The days are long, but the years will be short - everyone tells me that.  It’s frustrating, and miserable and so so so tiring.  But they are only babies for such a short time, I plan on enjoying every minute of him!  He’s the best thing I’ve ever made.

“Princess Anna!” An overly sophisticated voice called with a round of knocks on Anna’s bedroom door on a bright Saturday morning. 

A groan escaped Anna's lips as the late morning light blinded her, “Five more minutes.”

“You’re going to be late. Again.” The voice reminded her sternly.

With a loud whine, Anna sat up and stretched, “You can come in you know.”

“I know,” the door creaked and her best friend walked in. “But personally, I’m too afraid of sleepy Anna after the first time.”

“It wasn’t that bad, it barely grazed your arm!” 

“It was a heel Anna. I got 3 stitches. You should know, you paid for them.”

Anna rolled her eyes and fell back into bed. Before she knew it, Olaf was giving her the look. In fact, she didn’t even have to look at him to know it was happening because she felt it burning into her. 

“Don’t say it,” Anna warned, still staring at her popcorn ceiling.

“Being this boujee in Brooklyn doesn’t pay for itself!” Olaf said, staring at her with a smirk.

“Okay there are several reasons that doesn’t make any sense,” Anna stated, finally crawling herself out of bed, making her way towards the bathroom. Olaf trailed behind, ready for her rambling explanation. 

“One, we are not boujee,” she said with exaggerated air quotes, “I don’t think boujee apartments have slanted floors and broken faucets.” Anna turned the left knob of the sink, no water coming out. 

“Two, it does pay for itself if you sit around looking pretty long enough in the right spot,” Anna laughed as she began to hastily brush her hair. Olaf scoffed at her, rolling his eyes.

“And finally, stop calling me princess. It’s weird.” Anna splashed her face with water once the faucet finally decided to start working.

“It’s not weird. If anything it’s a compliment,” Olaf stepped behind her in the mirror as he fixed his already overly-greased brown hair.

“I’m sure that’s what the old men at the restaurant thought when they called me over for their dinner drinks last night,” she rolled her eyes heavily as she slapped on some moisturizer. “But, they did leave a good tip. See, living in Brooklyn does pay for itself!” 

Olaf scoffed and ran his hands through his hair again, “Yeah, if you are a misogynist.”

“Don’t huff! In that case, misogyny is unfortunately paying for half our rent,” Anna yanked out her makeup bag. “Now scooch because I have to get ready.”

Olaf put his hands up in defense, backing away, “I’ll see you after work tonight?”

“Duh. It’s Bachelor night.”

*************************************************

The midday sun blared on Anna’s pale skin as she climbed up the stairs from the subway station. She took a few deep breaths as she knew what had to do. Her phone read 12:25 and her shift started at 1. Without a moment to spare, she dashed down the busy street. Two more blocks. 12:26. One more block. 12:28. Just when she went to check her phone again, Anna slammed into someone. 

With an oof noise, followed by a slight laugh, a familiar voice spoke, “Anna when will you learn that ten minutes early is on time in the food business?”

Anna felt her cheeks turn hot, and it wasn’t from the sprinting. Strong arms steadied her and she caught her breath. It was Kristoff, one of the senior chefs at their restaurant. Anna tried not to crush too much, keep her eyes on the hustle and whatever other millenal mumbo jumbo. But Kristoff was most definitely an exception. Not only could he cook, he was so sweet and funny. It also didn’t help that he was one of the most handsome guys she had ever seen in real life.

“Anna? You there?” Kristoff hesitantly asked as inspected her spaced out eyes that were lost on his face.

“Huh? Yeah!” She blinked several times and shrugged his hands off her arms, “Thanks for that! It was like a crazy trust fall or something.”

He chuckled lightly as he opened the wooden door for her, “Ladies first.” The redhead did not notice the pink on his cheeks.

“Thanks!” Anna squeaked, with her voice maybe a little too high pitched. She cleared her throat and headed for the back. Kristoff branched off with her at the kitchen. She turned to him, with finger guns ablazing “Catcha later!”

Kristoff gave her his lopsided smile, “Later Anna.”

Anna immediately face palmed the second she was out of his line of vision. Catcha later? Seriously Anna? That’s the best thing you could think of? She punched in and tied her black apron around her waist. 12:30:55. Great. Not only did you embarrass yourself in front of the hottest guy you know, but you were almost late because of it. 

********************************

“Don’t sit around chopping carrots pretending I did not see you catch Anna on her way into work this morning,” Sven smirked to Kristoff while making his nightly rounds, making sure everyone was doing their jobs like the good manager he was. 

Kristoff rolled his eyes, “I would hardly call it catching. It was more like a slamming.”

His best friend joked with him, “Ooo, slamming even better.”

“Ew! Gross dude, don’t make me call HR.”

“You’re right. That was slimy. But still, when are you gonna ask her out?”

“Sven, you’re my manager. I don’t think you should be promoting workplace relationships.”

“True. But, I am also your best friend, which comes first,” Sven affirmed. Kristoff cocked an eyebrow, looking up from his diced carrots.

“Okay, maybe paying an arm and a leg for a roof over my head comes first. But you’re definitely 1.5. And as my 1.5 priority all I am saying is that you should ask her out before someone else does,” Sven popped a diced carrot into his mouth and went to go check on the dessert station.

The thing that made Kristoff’s gut twist the most is that Sven was definitely right. And he hated when Sven was right. Maybe even more than overhearing creepy old men call Anna “princess” when the restaurant got empty later in the night. No, Kristoff hated the latter more. 

Kristoff was convinced that Anna wouldn’t want to go out with him. After all, they were work buddies, or something like that. Her label, not his. But he was sick of not knowing. He has had a crush on her for months but hasn’t got the nerve to do more than open a door for her or steady her when she does something clumsy. At that moment, he made a decision, he would ask her out soon. No need to push a certain time because Kristoff always hated time limits, but soon.

*****************************

Sooner came sooner than expected. Way sooner, actually. 

That night, Anna took over someone else’s shift so she ended up working until the restaurant closed. They were short staffed, so most of the other private chefs and waiters weren’t there once the end of the night neared. 

Anna was wiping down tables when everyone was nearly gone, expect a young tipsy couple in the corner. Kristoff wanted to surprise her with something nice, because it’s what she deserved. In the dim lighting of the restaurant he had a small chocolate cake on a fancy floral plate. Kristoff was not a pastry chef, but he damn well did his best. His hands were gripped tight around the plate as he took a deep breath and gulped, “Anna?”

Her fiery red hair flipped as she turned around, “Hi Kristoff,” she smiled warmly up at him.

“This is for you,” he half smiled nervously back at her.

“For me?” Anna beamed so bright you could see her teeth. This made Kristoff’s stomach do backflips and somersaults. I just want to make her smile like that all the time. Jesus, that’s cheesy. 

“Uhm, yeah. It’s not a big deal,” he said as he scratched the back of his neck. 

“Oh, okay,” Anna’s smile faltered.

“No wait! I mean, it can be if you want it to be but, if not, I get it,” Kristoff stammered, which was pissing him off because it was making himself look ridiculous. This 6 foot, 180 pound man could not make a coherent thought to a woman he was interested in.

“What are you saying?” Anna’s forehead wrinkled in confusion.

“Do you want to go on a date with me, Anna?” Kristoff asked with the warmest smile he could, which, around Anna was not difficult.

Anna’s face went into an ‘o’ shape. Shit, she’s going to say no. It’s fine, I prepared for this all night. Right? I mean if she does say no, that’s cool. We can be friends. Anna set the plate on the bar. She smiled warmly up at him and threw herself around her. If this is a no, it’s a very excited no. He wrapped his strong arms around her in response. 

“Yes!” Anna beamed. Oh thank God. Without another word, he picked her up and spun her around. She squealed in his ear, but he didn’t mind.

After setting her down, they both chuckled exasperatedly at each other. “If I knew I would have gotten a twirl like that and chocolate cake I would have made a move a long time ago,” Anna smirked and Kristoff laughed. 

“I think I can do that,” they continued to just smile at each other like they were in a daze for, well, maybe longer than they should have.

“Kristoff!” One of the other private chefs called, breaking them out of their fairytale daze, “We need you on prep duty!”

“Oh, I gotta go,” Kristoff said with downturned lips.

“You have my number though, right? We can work something out over text.”

“Yeah, that sounds great, Anna,” he smiled at her again.

It felt like there was a beginners ballet class in her stomach there was so much flipping.

****************************

As Anna was going home that night, it felt as if she was walking on air. Usually, she hurries home this late at night, but tonight she leisurely walked the quiet streets of Brooklyn. (Pepper spray still in hand, of course.)

During her possibly too slow walk, she noticed a black car start to follow her. This was not unusual, but still concerning nonetheless, so Anna walked faster to the subway. Once she got underground she was still checking over her shoulder, but overall felt more secure. 

The subway ride was peaceful since it was so late, the fluorescent lighting illuminating her dreams of what her and Kristoff’s first date might look like. Would it be casual or fancy? Well, Kristoff has always been a more casual guy with me, so maybe just a movie or something. But the fancy floral plate said otherwise. Oh God, what if our schedules don’t line up?!

Once Anna got off the subway and came back to the cool dark streets, she noticed the car was there waiting for her. She also noticed it had a small flag on it that she didn’t recognize at first glance, because once she saw the car again, Anna booked it back to her apartment. Today is not the day I get kidnapped. Cute guy finally wants to go out with me and I am never seen again. That’s just my luck, huh? 

Anna fumbled with her keys quickly but once she got into her apartment, she slammed the door and frantically made sure all the locks were on. Out of breath, she slid her back down the door to see Olaf sitting on the couch.

“There’s good news,” she panted, “and bad news.”

“That makes two of us,” Olaf rolled his eyes, “You first.”

Anna groaned, but then smiled at her own reminder of her good news, “Kristoff asked me out tonight. And there was chocolate cake involved.”

“Fucking finally,” Olaf chuckled.

“That’s all you have to say?” Anna asked as she brought herself from the floor.

“Uh, yeah! For the longest time it was always Kristoff this and Kristoff that. It was bound to happen eventually so it just became a waiting game. But anyway I think my thing is bigger so let’s hurry this up.”

“Okay geez. Bad news, some guy followed me all the way home just now in a car with a little flag on it. Including my subway route! He knew my subway route!” Anna ranted frantically. “So if I go missing, you know why.”

Olaf’s eyes widened, “Oh, shit Anna. Uhm... We’ll figure something out.” She sighed and joined him on the couch.

“Please tell me your good news.”

“I don’t know if this qualifies as good news or… weird news. So today, a man came by dressed in all black and asked for you.”

Anna’s eyes widened, “They know where I live!”

“No no no Anna, they asked for you on behalf of the her majesty of Arendelle,” Olaf said seriously, handing her an official note with Anna’s name on it.

She said up to inspect it, “What the flying fuck would a cold European country want to do with me?” Normally, Anna would be freaking out over this because of its randomness, but she was too exhausted to process it all.

Olaf examined the note as well, “Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe you’re a lost princess or something,” he fantasized.

“Yes because I am prime princess material,” Anna stated, gesturing to her slouched position on their couch, “Tomorrow at 9 AM. That’s very early, can yo-”

“Yes I can wake you up,” Olaf rolled his eyes at his best friend’s ridiculousness.

“Now, what’s the bad news,” Anna sighed, ready to brace whatever it is he was about to hit her with.

“You missed Bachelor night, and boy was it a juicy one.”

lost & found things

this is what we see in Today’s reading of the Scriptures from the New Testament book of Luke in chapter 15:

Jesus became increasingly popular among notorious sinners—tax collectors and other social outcasts. The Pharisees and religious scholars noticed this.

Pharisees and Religious Scholars: This man welcomes immoral people and enjoys their company over a meal!

Jesus (with another parable): Wouldn’t every single one of you, if you have 100 sheep and lose one, leave the 99 in their grazing lands and go out searching for the lost sheep until you find it? When you find the lost sheep, wouldn’t you hoist it up on your shoulders, feeling wonderful? And when you go home, wouldn’t you call together your friends and neighbors? Wouldn’t you say, “Come over and celebrate with me, because I’ve found my lost sheep”? This is how it is in heaven. They’re happier over one sinner who changes his way of life than they are over 99 good and just people who don’t need to change their ways of life.

Or imagine a woman who has 10 silver coins. She loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the whole house, and search diligently until that coin is found? And when she finds it, doesn’t she invite her friends and neighbors and say, “Celebrate with me! I’ve found that silver coin that I lost”? Can’t you understand? There is joy in the presence of all God’s messengers over even one sinner who changes his way of life.

Once there was this man who had two sons. One day the younger son came to his father and said, “Father, eventually I’m going to inherit my share of your estate. Rather than waiting until you die, I want you to give me my share now.” And so the father liquidated assets and divided them. A few days passed and this younger son gathered all his wealth and set off on a journey to a distant land. Once there he wasted everything he owned on wild living. He was broke, a terrible famine struck that land, and he felt desperately hungry and in need. He got a job with one of the locals, who sent him into the fields to feed the pigs. The young man felt so miserably hungry that he wished he could eat the slop the pigs were eating. Nobody gave him anything.

So he had this moment of self-reflection: “What am I doing here? Back home, my father’s hired servants have plenty of food. Why am I here starving to death? I’ll get up and return to my father, and I’ll say, ‘Father, I have done wrong—wrong against God and against you. I have forfeited any right to be treated like your son, but I’m wondering if you’d treat me as one of your hired servants?’” So he got up and returned to his father. The father looked off in the distance and saw the young man returning. He felt compassion for his son and ran out to him, enfolded him in an embrace, and kissed him.

The son said, “Father, I have done a terrible wrong in God’s sight and in your sight too. I have forfeited any right to be treated as your son.”

But the father turned to his servants and said, “Quick! Bring the best robe we have and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. Go get the fattest calf and butcher it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate because my son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and has been found.” So they had this huge party.

Now the man’s older son was still out in the fields working. He came home at the end of the day and heard music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what was going on. The servant said, “Your brother has returned, and your father has butchered the fattest calf to celebrate his safe return.”

The older brother got really angry and refused to come inside, so his father came out and pleaded with him to join the celebration. But he argued back, “Listen, all these years I’ve worked hard for you. I’ve never disobeyed one of your orders. But how many times have you even given me a little goat to roast for a party with my friends? Not once! This is not fair! So this son of yours comes, this wasteful delinquent who has spent your hard-earned wealth on loose women, and what do you do? You butcher the fattest calf from our herd!”

The father replied, “My son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours. Isn’t it right to join in the celebration and be happy? This is your brother we’re talking about. He was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found again!”

The Book of Luke, Chapter 15 (The Voice)

Today’s paired chapter of the Testaments is the 23rd chapter of the book of Job:

Job confided to his friends.

Job: So once again you are telling me my complaint amounts to rebellion,

that the heavy hand I feel upon me is smothering my groans?

Would that I knew where to find Him.

I would appear before Him.

I would lay my case out before Him;

I would fill up my mouth with arguments.

And then I would finally learn how He would answer me,

and I would understand what He tells me.

Would He oppose me merely with His great power? Surely not!

Surely He would show me the respect of listening to my argument.

There, in that courtroom, a moral man might hope to reason with Him,

and I would escape my Judge forever.

Alas, wherever I go, ahead or behind,

He is not there;

I am unable to find Him.

When He works on either side of me, I still cannot see Him.

I catch no glimpse of Him.

But He knows the course I have traveled.

And I believe that were He to prove me,

I would come out purer than gold from the fire.

My foot has been securely set in His tracks;

I have kept to His course of life without swerving;

I have not departed from the commands of His lips;

I have valued everything He says more than all else.

He alone is one True God; who can alter Him?

Whatever He desires within Himself, He does.

For He will carry out exactly what He has planned for me,

and in the future there are more plans to come.

Therefore, I am deeply troubled before Him;

when I ponder it at any length, I am terrified of Him.

Yes, God has melted my courage,

and the Highest One has overwhelmed me with His terror.

He could have turned me aside when the darkness came,

but He did not cut me off.

Nor does He hide my face from the gloom that has now overtaken me.

The Book of Job, Chapter 23 (The Voice)

my personal reading of the Scriptures for friday, April 30 of 2021 with a paired chapter from each Testament of the Bible along with Today’s Proverbs and Psalms

A post by John Parsons that looks into our “rest”

It is written in our Scriptures: "Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and he will bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:5). In this verse, the word translated "commit" comes from the Hebrew root galal (גלל), which could be rendered as "roll away" or "heap upon" (the word gal means a heap or pile of stones). The LORD spoke this word when He said to Joshua, "This day have I rolled away (galal) the reproach of Egypt from off you" (Josh. 5:9) and named the place "Gilgal" (גִּלְגָּל), a word-play meaning a wheel or "rolling away." In great mercy the LORD "rolls away" the reproach of our sin.

The word galal can also mean to trust or to commit, with the connotation of "rolling one's trouble" away from oneself upon someone else who can help. Thus the Messiah entrusted (galal) His suffering unto the LORD (Psalm 22:8), and we are likewise encouraged to "commit" (galal) our way to his loving will. When we trust in His love, when we "roll away" the burden of our lives to His care, our thoughts will be "established" and we can freely enjoy the confidence that God Himself is directing our way (Prov. 16:9, Psalm 37:23). We can then experience genuine rest and shalom, despite the tumult of the world and its tribulations.

As the Lord Yeshua cried out, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28), so may we come, rolling away our burdens unto Him, and having our way established in His shalom (1 Pet. 5:7; Psalm 55:22). Amen. [Hebrew for Christians]

Today’s message from the Institute for Creation Research

April 30, 2021

Jehovah

“And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.” (Hebrews 1:10)

The primary name for God in Scripture is the majestic name Jehovah, occurring nearly 7,000 times. The early Jews were reluctant to use that name for fear of using it lightly (Exodus 20:7) and substituted the word Adonai (meaning Master or Lord) in its place. Our English versions have followed suit, using the term “Lord” for Jehovah (small or all caps to distinguish it from Adonai, or Lord). Thus, the name Jehovah appears only four times in the King James and causes us at times to miss the full impact of the passage.

This is especially true in the New Testament quotations from Old Testament passages that used the name “Jehovah” for which “Lord” has been substituted. Now in the English versions the name “Lord” appears. If “Jehovah” (i.e., deity) were read instead, much richer meaning would be gathered, and it would prove beyond a doubt the full deity of Christ. Consider two examples.

First, our text quotes from Psalm 102:25-27. The entire psalm consists of praise to Jehovah, and here in Hebrews it addresses the Son. If we read “thou, Jehovah, in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth” and realize that Jesus is the subject of the passage, we recognize that Jesus can be none other than the Creator God.

Also, in Matthew 3:3, where John the Baptist fulfilled his prophesied role by teaching “Prepare ye the way of the Lord,” quoting from Isaiah 40:3, we see Jesus equated with the Jehovah of the Old Testament, for Isaiah uses the term LORD, or Jehovah.

In these and many other examples, we see Christ as the Jehovah Jesus and that the Lord of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. JDM

29. best way to bond with you? Oversharing, or telling me about things you’re into.

30. places that you find sacred? Nature. My favourite spots are little creeks/rivers in wooded areas, but just like, all of it is special and should be treated as such. Also bedrooms.

31. what outfit do you wear to kick ass and take names? I think maybe I’m not gutsy or whatever enough, but also unpredictable. I wear whatever I like, and I’m just as likely to cry in all of them as I am to accidentally get in a fight.

41. last person you texted? My Fiance.

51. current stresses? My cat has been throwing up and having diarrhoea the past week or so, she’s been to the vet, it got better for a bit, but tonight suddenly got worse. Living with my parents who I have a very toxic relationship with. Living in a single very overfilled room. Trying to not spend money so that I can save up to move next year. Nightmares about my trauma. Either the house is haunted or there’s a build up of negative energy (probably that).

52. favorite font? I always liked the look of all of the script style fonts (freestyle, french, lucida, lucida calligraphy, Edwardian, Palace) but they’re not accessible so for anything people will actually see (which is literally nothing) I always go with arial.

53. what is the current state of your hands? Slight rash on one finger because I’m sensitive to what is in a lot of hand washing products apparently (never an issue until the pandemic), one broken finger nail that is a bit shorter than the rest. Not painted nails because energy. I always wear my engagement ring, usually I wear several other rings but with how my skin is being I thought I’d better not for a while.

58. four talents you’re proud of having? Literally can’t think of one. I’m not talented. I’m passable at a couple of things, but I worked for those things and I’m still not good enough for anyone to confuse me for being talented xD Those things I care about that I’ve worked on a lot are singing, art, languages, crafts? I still struggled to come up with 4. My bad.

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be? Aw jeez xD

62. seven characters you relate to? Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Amelie from Amelie Matilda from Matilda Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notredame (also my favourite plush as a kid) Iris - The Holiday Jess - New Girl Amelia Shepherd - Grey’s Anatomy Struggled with this because suddenly I drew a blank and also couldn’t remember who my Fiance was talking about every time he’s watched a character and said “that’s you” repeatedly.

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen? I operate on how long it has lasted instead of how bad it is, essentially I get so desperate so I’ll try it even though it probably won’t help. I have the resistance of a rhino to most meds.

75. when did you lose your first tooth? No idea, like 4 I think? I did keep them in a weird little box for no reason though because they never got taken away from under my pillow.

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)? I’m a fan of a good mash if it has lots of flavour (like gravy). Otherwise, crisps or fries.

The Watch

Genre: Time Travel!AU

Pairing: Seungyoon x You

Warnings: Mild cursing

Part 1, 2, 3, 4 | Words: 2,311

Apparently, Seungyoon was known in his family for his love of watches. 

For his birthday this past year, he had received five watches as gifts, all from separate family members. There had also been a sixth one from one of his closest friends, and while such a large number of the same present should have been a bit... annoying, Seungyoon was far from annoyed.

He was extremely pleased.

Because... well... he truly did love watches. His collection was now up to 30, so he could wear a different one every day for five months out of the year and have only one repeat during the other seven.

There had been one watch, in particular, which had piqued his curiosity. His cousin had gifted it to him, explaining she had seen it in an antique store and had known immediately he needed to own it.

He had agreed with her upon opening the box and actually seeing the watch, but there was one small problem: the watch didn’t currently work.

It was understandable, of course, since she had purchased it from an antique store. A small engraving on the back of the face read ‘TRC, 1936′ so... he assumed the watch was almost 85 years old. No wonder it didn’t work.

Ever since his birthday, Seungyoon had been meaning to find a shop which could possibly repair the watch, but he’d simply gotten sidetracked. He had either been busy with work, work, or work, and it had just slipped his mind over and over again.

Seungyoon let out a soft groan as the alarm on his phone pierced through the air. His eyes fluttered open and, as usual, he reached out to press the Snooze button.

Eight minutes later, the shrill ringing interrupted his sleep yet again. Another groan left his lips, but this time, he pressed Stop and actually sat up. He threw his covers back and swung his legs over the side of the bed.

It was Monday morning. He didn’t want to, but it was time to get ready for work.

“All right, which one do I feel like today?” Seungyoon murmured to himself as he stepped up to his dresser. He opened the top drawer, and while most people usually reserved this drawer for underwear, his was occupied by his watch collection.

They were each neatly settled in their own slot on a large, velvet tray, and even though it sounded a bit sad, picking out which watch to wear was his favorite part of the day.

Besides lunch. And coming home. And dinner. And going to sleep.

But you know what I mean.

He just loved opening his drawer and seeing all of his watches displayed so nicely, each one in its own place. And he felt so satisfied when his watch perfectly complemented his outfit!

It’s the little things in life, okay?

Seungyoon’s eyes scanned over all 30 of his watches, but he froze momentarily when he got to the antique watch.

Damn it!

Another weekend had gone by, and he hadn’t remembered to take it to a repair shop!

What a shame, too, because that watch would look really good with his suit and tie today. 

Like, incredibly good.

...Hmm.

Maybe he could just fiddle around with it and see if he could fix it. It probably wouldn’t work, but hey. It’s worth a shot!

He carefully lifted the gold watch from the tray, holding it as delicately as he could. There was a small round knob on the side of the case -- the crown, it was called -- something any wind-up watch had to keep the hands ticking.

It seemed obvious, but what if he just... wound it up? Turned the crown and hoped that was the trick?

Sure, why not?

Seungyoon narrowed his eyes in concentration, taking two fingers and carefully grasping the tiny crown on the side of the watch to pull it out. He turned it away from him, going around a couple of times before stopping and pushing it back in. He pulled his fingers away and watched the face, waiting to see if something would happen.

Before the hands had a chance to start back up, though, his vision got blurry, and he began to feel a little lightheaded. Instinctively, he closed his eyes, hoping to ward off this random dizzy spell.

It lasted for a few more seconds, and when his head was no longer spinning, he blinked open his eyes.

Whoa -- wait -- what?

Seungyoon was... no longer standing in front of his dresser in his bedroom.

He was, instead, sitting at his kitchen table.

...How had he gotten here? Had he somehow walked all the way downstairs without even realizing it?

His vision was still just a tad blurry around the edges, but things were gradually becoming more clear as he gazed around his kitchen with a deeply furrowed brow.

There was his pantry... his fridge... his oven with someone standing in front of it... his sink... his cupboards --

Wait, what?!

His gaze snapped back to his oven, his heart skipping quite a few beats as he scanned over an unknown person’s back. He could now infer that whoever it was was cooking something. He heard the sizzling, the stirring, and he could smell... bacon.

But... who was that?!

“Hello?” you asked with a chuckle, turning around to face him. “You there?”

Holy -- 

Seungyoon’s head jerked back with surprise. Had you -- had you had just asked him -- 

What?!

“Uh... yes,” he replied warily. “Who are --”

“Do you want peanut butter on your toast or just plain?” you asked, eyeing him as if it wasn’t the first time you’d asked that question. “I know you love peanut butter toast, but if I’m making bacon, I thought that would be kind of weird.”

Seungyoon simply blinked at you.

He had absolutely no idea what was going on.

You were asking him if he wanted peanut butter on his toast.

But he had no earthly clue who you were. He had never seen you before in his life!

And yet you were in his kitchen. Seemingly making breakfast. And you knew he preferred peanut butter toast.

...But also you were dazzlingly beautiful. That was something he couldn’t ignore, but it still didn’t make this any less weird.

“Yoon,” you called out, your voice still amused but also a bit firm.

He jumped out of his stupor and made eye contact with you once more.

“Are you all right?” you asked with a slightly confused smirk.

“Um, yeah -- I --”

No, he was not all right.

A beautiful mystery person was in his kitchen making breakfast and calling him ‘Yoon’ and acting like this was all normal but it was not normal because he had never seen you before and how did you know he loved peanut butter toast but also bacon and who were you?!

“Just -- just plain... I guess,” he stammered.

Even though he could hear that his own voice sounded very strange, you still nodded and turned back around to face the stove.

Seungyoon continued to try and get his bearings, his eyes frantically searching the room.

He was definitely in his kitchen. Like, he knew for sure it was his. Everything was the same.

Except for you.

...Was he dreaming, maybe? Very vividly?

But he had already woken up for the day. He was wearing the same suit and tie and everything!

He was even wearing the watch!

He lifted his wrist closer to his face, seeing the hands were, indeed, ticking and moving slowly around.

So, winding it up had worked.

Interesting.

There was a sudden presence by his side, and he jumped slightly as you slid a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast on the table in front of him.

“What’s wrong with you this morning?” you asked in a lighthearted tone, chuckling slightly. “You’re so jumpy.”

“I, uh -- Noth--nothing, sorry, I --”

You placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it affectionately. “Eat up. I gotta go get ready.”

He simply nodded, and just as he turned to glance up at you, you leaned down and kissed him.

Kissed him!

“Have a good day, baby,” you murmured against his lips. “See you later.”

Seungyoon hummed helplessly, and you pulled away. As you sauntered down the hallway toward the stairs, you called out, “Love you!” over your shoulder.

And the hits just kept on coming.

Instinctively, Seungyoon replied with, “Love you, too” but did he?!

Did he really love you?!

He didn’t even know who you were!

As he looked around the kitchen one more time, the clock on the stove caught his eye. You’d been blocking it earlier, so he hadn’t seen it until now.

It was 7:55am. Around the time he usually ate breakfast before heading off for the day.

He looked back down at his watch, and it, too, said 7:55am.

And then he slid his phone out from his pocket.

Yep, 7:55 -- wait, now 7:56am.

But something else besides the time caught his eye.

The date.

It was the same month and day as it had been when he’d woken up a little over half an hour ago.

Just the year was different.

According to his phone, he had woken up a little over half an hour ago... two years ago.

No, that couldn’t be right.

There was just no way.

There was no possible way he could have --

Seungyoon suddenly pushed away from the table, standing up and looking around the kitchen in somewhat of a panic.

His first instinct -- besides letting out a very distressed scream -- was to find you and ask you if the year on his phone was actually the year. Maybe there was some glitch or something, and now everyone’s date was two years off.

He wasn’t sure he wanted to ask you, though, because -- as I have mentioned several times already -- he had no idea who you even were. 

But -- I don’t know! You’d just made breakfast for him. You’d kissed him. You, apparently, loved him.

He may not know your name, but he had an inkling that he could trust you.

So, he strode down the hall, taking the stairs two at a time.

At first, when he arrived on the upstairs landing, he had no idea where you’d gone. But when he stopped to listen, he heard rustling and clinking coming from...

His eyes landed on his bedroom door.

Hesitantly and as quietly as he could, Seungyoon crept across the hallway, carefully reaching out and opening the door inch-by-inch. Just as he’d opened it halfway, the hinges creaked; he nearly jumped out of his skin at the high-pitched sound.

If he ever got back to the present -- or whenever it was he had been this morning -- the first thing he would do would be to oil this door.

“...Yoon?” you called out from the en suite bathroom.

Oh, god. Now that he was here, and now that you knew he was here, he was severely regretting this plan.

He didn’t answer quickly enough, apparently, because you popped your head out of the bathroom doorway, your hair partially curled.

“What are you --?” you began, but Seungyoon finally found his voice.

“What year is it?” he asked quickly.

The look which took over your face was...

I mean, it’s what you would expect from someone you had just asked: “What year is it?”

“...What year -- what do you mean ‘what year is it’?” you asked, a very perplexed chuckle escaping your lips. “Yoon, are you all right? You’re acting really strangely this morning.”

Seungyoon blinked; you had already asked him if he was all right, and he had told you he was fine. He hadn’t been fine then, and he wasn’t fine now, so maybe he should tell the truth this time.

“I... don’t really know,” he told you. And then he looked at you with genuine, earnest anticipation. “What... year is it?”

You stepped up to him, your brow furrowed as you reached up and smoothed down the lapels of his suit. And then you told him what year it was.

The date you proclaimed matched the date on his phone -- two years after the date in which he’d woken up. In this very same bedroom. In that very same bed!

You suddenly -- but very gently -- took his face in your hands, forcing him to look at you.

“Yoon, I’m worried about you,” you said softly. “Maybe you should stay home from work today. Do you want me to call out? I can take care of you --”

“You said you loved me, right?” he interrupted. His eyes widened just a little, brightening with the spark of his idea.

Your expression grew even more confused, but you nodded. “Yes, I love you,” you assured him. “Very much. With my whole heart.”

Seungyoon licked his lips, shifting from one foot to the other as he argued with himself on whether or not he should --

Okay, yeah. He should. Why not? This was all probably just a very realistic dream, anyway!

“I woke up this morning -- in this bed, in this house, everything. But I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know where the past two years went.”

Seungyoon could picture your features screwing up in more perplexity than they already were...

But instead, your eyebrows raised. Your lips formed a very small, almost indistinguishable ‘Oh’ of surprise.

And then you nodded.

“I thought maybe this was --” you murmured, cutting yourself off and fixing a steady gaze on him. 

And the next words out of your mouth were ones Seungyoon had never expected: 

“You tried to fix the watch, then?”

Part 2

Fantastic Four Vol 1 #182

Wed Aug 21 2019 [11:24 PM] Wack'd: Strap in because we've got seven straight issues of Len Wein [11:24 PM] Bocaj: The LenWeinening [11:26 PM] Wack'd: So when last we saw our heroes Counter-Reed, who is Reed from Counter-Earth, had stranded Reed, who is Counter-Reed from Earth, in the Negative Zone, and then Annihilus was like "hey we need to team up" so he and Reed teamed up against the Mad Thinker who is some kind of green lion now [11:26 PM] Wack'd: Also Sue is on to Counter-Reed so she and Alicia have teamed up to find a plan to counter Counter-Reed [11:27 PM] Wack'd: Also according to the letters page, which I neglected to mention, the Editor-in-Chief door with all the names crossed out? A real thing that hung on Archie Goodwin's door for a while. The more you knoooooooow [11:28 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Ben, Tigra, Thundra, Impossible Man, and Johnny come back with the hot robot from last issue and try to get Counter-Reed to figure out who's behind it [11:29 PM] maxwellelvis: That's "hot" as in wanted or possibly stolen [11:29 PM] maxwellelvis: they don't, like, find the robot physically attractive. [11:29 PM] Wack'd: No, that's "hot" as in "generates a fuckton of heat" [11:29 PM] maxwellelvis: Ahh [11:29 PM] Umbramatic: why not both [11:29 PM] Bocaj: Por que no- dammit [11:29 PM] Umbramatic: or all three [11:29 PM] Wack'd: But also it might've been stolen because last issue the government was demanding to hold onto it, so [11:30 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Counter-Reed covers for his inadequacies by ordering Thundra, Greer (trying to use given names), and Impy to go double-check the bank for clues. As they leave Greer is like "hey, did anyone else notice we don't work for him, what the fuck is going on" [11:31 PM] Wack'd: She also had suspected Counter-Reed is not Reed but is in fact Counter-Reed [11:31 PM] Wack'd: God I hate imposter plots [11:31 PM] Bocaj: This is a lot smarter than people tend to be in imposter plots [11:31 PM] Bocaj: Like three people already onto him [11:31 PM] Wack'd: True [11:32 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Counter-Reed then tells Johnny and Ben that actually he's positive the robot came from the Negative Zone and they should go check it out [11:33 PM] Wack'd: In what I think is the biggest sign Roy Thomas' attempt to rehabilitate Reed has gone horribly wrong, Ben immediately leaps to the conclusion Counter-Reed shooed out Thundra and Greer because he's a patriarchal git [11:33 PM] Wack'd: And didn't want to send them on a dangerous mission [11:34 PM] Wack'd: To Ben's credit, he's also noticed Counter-Reed incessantly watching the Negative Zone monitor, but thinks it's because he wants to rescue his doppleganger because he's such a nice guy [11:34 PM] KarkatTheDalek: Does Ben this that’s good or bad? [11:34 PM] Wack'd: He does not make a judgement call, only acknowledges it as a known facet of Reed's character [11:34 PM] KarkatTheDalek: Ah [11:34 PM] KarkatTheDalek: Neutral Guy Ben Grimm [11:35 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Agatha also kidnapped Franklin recently. Remember that? We have like fifteen plots going on right now [11:36 PM] Bocaj: I do remember [11:36 PM] Wack'd: So apparently Agatha needs Franklin's powers to deal with something otherworldly invading her home [11:36 PM] Bocaj: Sure [11:37 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Franklin is like "I won't let anyone hurt you, Auntie Agatha" which is usually the part where the adult would say something patronizing about how brave they're being [11:37 PM] Wack'd: But Agatha is like "yes, obviously, that's the entire reason you're here" [11:38 PM] Bocaj: Agatha Harkness has always been patronizing but in a different way [11:38 PM] Bocaj: She's older than everyone and knows everyone is dumber than she is [11:38 PM] maxwellelvis: In the same way Animated Madame Webb is [11:38 PM] Bocaj: Also sometimes she's a ghost. And everybody knows ghosts are jerks [11:38 PM] Wack'd: ONLY. TOONAMI.

[11:39 PM] maxwellelvis: You thought that sounded like a soundbyte they'd grab for one of those rad promos, eh? [11:39 PM] Bocaj: They had that one about not being intimidated that played all the time [11:39 PM] Bocaj: I don't even remember what show it was from [11:39 PM] Wack'd: The joke is "we won't be intimidated by criminal threats" from the Fleischer Superman cartoons [11:39 PM] maxwellelvis: Ahh [11:39 PM] Wack'd: That soundbyte far outlived those cartoons, duration-on-Toonami-wise [11:40 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Agatha tries to do a magic battle with these shadowy figures but one of them has a gun that when fired locks Agatha's hands in heavy metal gauntlets [11:41 PM] Wack'd: And by the time Sue and Agatha arrive to collect Franklin, whoever these shadowy figures are teleport away with Agatha and Franklin [11:41 PM] Wack'd: They kidnapped a kidnapping [11:41 PM] Wack'd: Some kind of kidnap turducken [11:41 PM] Bocaj: Guns that shoot handcuffs? [11:41 PM] Bocaj: Ridiculous [11:41 PM] Bocaj: Only arrows can shoot handcuffs [11:41 PM] Wack'd: Not just handcuffs, they're like--I really should screencap this [11:41 PM] Wack'd:

[11:42 PM] maxwellelvis: He has a MAGIC GUN! [11:42 PM] Wack'd: Where'd he purchase that [11:42 PM] maxwellelvis: (Where'd he - dammit [11:42 PM] Wack'd: Meanwhile! Ben and Johnny finally catch up with the rest of the plot [11:43 PM] Wack'd: See, back in issue 51, Reed designed a thing that was basically just a rope attached to a belt to tether folks to the...Positive Zone?...while they were in the Negative Zone [11:43 PM] Wack'd: But he nearly got stranded, decided they were too dangerous, and replaced them with a more Kirbyish full-body rig [11:44 PM] Wack'd: Ben and Johnny are well inside the Negative Zone by the time they realize haha, whoops! Reed strapped them into the early version [11:44 PM] maxwellelvis: "Roy's not the only one who can pull out ancient continuity, I'll show him!" -- Len Wein, probably [11:45 PM] Wack'd: So yeah, Ben and Johnny are about to turn back around and kick Counter-Reed's ass, but by miraculous coincidence, just as they figure out the plot, they find Reed and Annihilus [11:46 PM] Wack'd: Mad Thinker must've been thrilled when he found out he could possess a monster in the Negative Zone with his exact facial hair

[11:46 PM] Wack'd: I wonder if that's true for all Negative Zone beings. Maybe that's why Reed has a beard now [11:47 PM] maxwellelvis: You know, Kiko wasn't anywhere near as tall as his old man, technically speaking. [11:47 PM] maxwellelvis: I wonder if Ben's throwing that out there because Dino DeLaurentiis' King Kong had come out in the previous year. [11:48 PM] Wack'd: Probably [11:48 PM] maxwellelvis: Also, yes, "Kiko" is the name of the Son of Kong. [11:48 PM] Wack'd: So Reed, Johnny, Ben, and Annihilus beat a hasty retreat, and Ben and Johnny are like "hm, our Reed would never team up with Annihilus, maybe we were wrong" [11:48 PM] Wack'd: And then it turns out their tether cables have been cut [11:48 PM] Wack'd: Which settles the issue [11:50 PM] Wack'd: OKAY SO [11:50 PM] Wack'd: You wanna talk ancient continuity? [11:50 PM] Wack'd: This giant beast is not, in fact, a native of the Negative Zone, but one of Mad Thinker's robots that got chucked in there back in #69 and got mutated or something [11:51 PM] Wack'd: ...why did I think Mad Thinker had a beard?

[11:51 PM] Wack'd: Dude still dresses like a high school track coach, I remembered that much right [11:51 PM] Bocaj: He might look less ridiculous with a beard [11:51 PM] Wack'd: He might! [11:51 PM] Bocaj: His hair sure is a decision he made [11:51 PM] Bocaj: And continues to make [11:51 PM] maxwellelvis: He's still built like a high school track coach, too. [11:53 PM] Wack'd: I enjoy the fact that back when Buscema and Buckler were revising everyone's hair styles Mad Thinker wasn't around and so now he's stuck like this [11:54 PM] Wack'd: Back in...I'm just gonna keep calling it the Positive Zone until someone objects [11:54 PM] Wack'd: Back in the Positive Zone Sue tells Reed that their son has been double-abducted [11:54 PM] Wack'd: And he takes a long. Long time to figure out how he should react to that. [11:54 PM] Wack'd: So now the gig is officially up. Sue's worst fears are confirmed [11:55 PM] Wack'd: So Counter-Reed goes into Brute mode because now he has no choice but to kick Sue's ass [11:55 PM] Wack'd: He also calls her "the weakest member of the Fantastic Four" and you know whenever anyone says that with a straight face, and are not written by Stan Lee, a major ass-kicking is about to happen [11:56 PM] Bocaj: Look, Lincoln had a mom [11:56 PM] Bocaj: and therefore now slavery is illegal [11:56 PM] Wack'd: Right, yes [11:56 PM] Wack'd: ...oh goddammit [11:56 PM] Wack'd: So instead Counter-Reed kicks Sue's ass thoroughly and tosses her out the top-story window of the Baxter [11:56 PM] Bocaj: 😐 [11:57 PM] Wack'd: I forgot this was "Cripple the B****" Wein we were dealing with for a moment [11:57 PM] Bocaj: OH SHIT [11:57 PM] Bocaj: THATS WHERE I KNOW THE NAME FROM?? [11:57 PM] Wack'd: Yeeeeeeeeeeep [11:59 PM] Wack'd: In the letters page: someone tries to puzzle out what Ben is made of ("I miss when everyone assumed it was 'orange rocks'," moans Thomas); and apparently Len Wein plans to explain why there's not a much greater mass of cosmic-ray-powered superbeings now that space travel is business as usual [12:00 AM] Wack'd: Oh! And an ad for Ms Marvel's first ongoing. Exciting! [12:01 AM] Wack'd: Somehow I can't imagine Kamala Khan being hyped to wear this

[12:01 AM] Bocaj: Love Kamala [12:01 AM] Bocaj: Ew they changed her costume [12:02 AM] Bocaj: I took too long to type and now my joke misunderstanding your words is belated to oblivion [12:02 AM] Bocaj: "Never before has a FIGHTING FEMALE cpatured the imagination of the reading public so DRAMATICALLY" [12:02 AM] Bocaj: why are you like this, comics

97. when was the last time a girl made your heart flutter?

… I don’t know what to tell you.

98. what is love to you?

Love is complicated.

To me, it’s not about having a partner. Actually, loving someone regardless of romantic feelings is way more important, in my opinion. These things can co-exist, and loving a friend is just as important loving a lover.

The lack of it can hurt, especially being forced out of it. But feeling love? I don’t know. It’s one of the most beautiful feelings ever. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by it.

I really love this article on it! It’s about the 8 types of love the ancient greeks had, and as I greek person myself, I think highly of it. I highly recommend reading it!

99. ask me anything. (bUt since no one specified, I’ll ask myself: Why do this and what did I learn from this?)

I did this because I am stubborn. Also I genuinely liked the questions XD

What I learned from this experience is that I really love answering questions, oops-

If you made it this far, I don’t know what to tell you. You deserve a golden star, my dude.

ANYWAY, NEVER AGAIN.

[snarkyperson]

it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake it off

This morning I posted a picture of myself on Instagram, which I have not done recently because let’s be honest, no one wants to see me slumming it in pajamas every day with mussed hair and tired eyes.  Today, though, I had actual makeup on.  Yes!  Eyeshadow and eyeliner and mascara and everything!  I had on a necklace and earrings and a skirt and a nice top.  I looked like a real life functioning human being.

“Preparing for my reentry into society,” I said, tongue-in-cheek, but I wasn’t lying.

I have been out of my house for something other than doctor’s appointments four times in the last month and a half.  One was Easter.  One was for my mom’s birthday.  One was lunch with my mom.  And the other was a 20 minute drive with my best friend and his other half to pick up groceries and Starbucks.  It’s sad, right?  It’s definitely not helping me, but most days I can’t get myself into a state resembling dressed and ready to mingle (see above) so I’m doing what I can, I suppose.  

Today, though, was a big day.  I promised to do this day ages ago, probably about a month before my breakdown, and my mom would have murdered me if I had backed out.  I was going to, actually.  Around 11:00 am yesterday I started thinking, “Oh god, I can’t do this.  Why did I think I could do this?  A luncheon with tons of strangers?  Listening to an author I didn’t even like talk on and on about his nonsense?  What am I thinking?”

And then I thought, get your head out of your ass, go to your parents’ house so you don’t back out, and go.  Go to the thing.  The book talk luncheon thing.  The thing with tons (TONS!!!!) of strangers and an author I didn’t like.  So I did.  I called my mom and asked if I could spend the night.  When I got there, I laughingly told her I was thinking of backing out, which is why I came.

“I had a feeling,” she said.  God, she knows me so well it’s scary.

So anyway, we had margaritas and watched Chopped.  I played Skyrim with my dad.  I went to bed at 7:00 because I had been social since 1:00 and even though it was just my parents, it was more than I had done, again, in a month and a half aside from four times so I mean, I have to give myself a little bit of a break.  I couldn’t sleep, but this is not new or earth-shattering.  I was up at 7:00 and since the luncheon wasn’t until 12:00, that meant I had plenty of time to panic and try to talk myself out of going.

The thing is, I did go.  I put on my makeup and my jewelry and my nice outfit.  I helped my mom pick out shoes to go with her cute outfit.  We got there at 11:55 and there were So. Many. People.  The planner had been terrified that no one would show, but I’m not exaggerating when I say there were at least 30 people there, if not more.  I knew exactly two people: my mom and the planner.  I froze in the driveway and breathed, “I can’t do this.”  

“Sure you can,” my mom said.  “Look, we’re already at the door and you didn’t even notice.”  She smiled.  She was right.  I made it to the door, made it inside, made it to a chair.  We sat in a circle with seven other people that I didn’t know.  They were all perfectly pleasant people and we made small talk (even ME) and it wasn’t nearly as horrible as I expected.  We had a buffet lunch and I even ate a little bit, though a little bit because I am always nervous as a fat person eating in front of people.  I did keep avoiding the author’s eyes because I was so afraid he would come over and introduce himself and I would have to lie and say I loved his books when in actuality I tried to read one of them, got 16 pages in, hated every word of it, and sent it back to the library.  Do you know he mentioned erections three times in those 16 pages?  I mean, honestly.

After lunch was a house tour.  A little about the house: it was owned by my parents’ friends when I was a kid, and they had rollicking parties in which the kids were relegated downstairs all the time.  It burned down and had been rebuilt by the current owners but I was looking forward to seeing what it looked like now.  Nothing like I remembered, but I suppose that was to be expected.  Beautiful, though.  A view of the James River you would absolutely kill for, really.

Then came the time I really dreaded: the author talk.  But he was actually really funny and engaging and not at all like his books so I felt a little bad when I bought one of his books as a joke to give to my roommate (long story).  But hey, he got my $10 so it’s not like my joke hurt him any.  I won a prize, too, from the raffle, which was kind of nice.

But the biggest thing, the thing I’ve been slowly and wordily coming to, was when one of the past librarians my mom used to work with, came up to us and said to me, “You know, you remind me so much of your mom.  There’s this glow about you, like everything is going to be all right.  It’s so positive, I love it.”

I was stunned.  STUNNED.  Not only was this woman addressing me in the middle of the biggest mental breakdown I’ve ever had and telling me positive things about my aura, but—how do I say this?  Throughout my whole life, even when it drove me absolutely nuts (and it has, many, many times), the thing I have always loved about my mom is how positive she is.  She just has this calming influence.  I used to think it was just a mom thing but as I grew up, I discovered other people felt that way about her too.  I have always told her that I wish I was more like her.  Steady,  Calming,  Positive.  Someone people can talk to and yes, know everything will be all right.  So to have this woman who I had known for literally 40 minutes come up and tell me that I reminded her so much of my mom in those ways made me feel so incredible that I thought for a second I was dreaming it.  

“This is what I keep telling you,” my mom said later.  “I just wish you could see yourself the way everyone else sees you.  You would feel so much better.”

And this will be a different post, but then today I shotgunned Help Me! by Marianne Power, which I think everyone in the world should read.  That book changed my perspective about a lot.  

So today, I’m feeling good.  My reentry into society went great.  I finished an awesome book.  My cats were happy to see me, I think.  But most of all, today I feel like maybe, just maybe, I’m not totally hopeless.  Maybe I will come out of this on the other side.  Maybe I will be stronger, or something.  I hope so.  But it’s been so long since I had any hope for anything that I just am relishing the feeling, for as long as it lasts.

Things I didn't know were related to my autism until I was diegnosed:

1. I don't know how to act greatful when I'm given a gift, it's not that I'm not greatful it's that idk how to act greatful without being weird. So in general I either under react and people get disappointed or I over react and seem disingenuous.

2. I am way too loud and I never notice it. (Especially when I'm excited)

I thought my hearing was bad but in reality I just can't notice when I'm being too loud.

3. Floppy arms! When I get excited my arms flap all over the place. I've learned to recognize it and not do it in public because I get weird looks.

4. Textured foods! When I was a kid I loved jello but now I can't eat it without feeling like I'm gonna puke. Not because it tastes bad, but because the texture weird me out.

5. I HATE BEING STICKY!

STICKY=THROWING UP

6. Chewing on stuff. Throughout all of my childhood I would chew up my pencils and pens until they were basically unusable.

7. Not understanding people's emotions, it hard for me to understand when someone doesn't think the same way I do about things, or share my opinion. I also can't read emotions very well so I just learned to shut up.

8. I like the dark bc too much light over stimulates and annoys me.

9. I CAN NOT TALK OVER THE PHONE WITH STRANGERS! I hate having to answer the phone at work bc Idk getting a read on someone's voice without their expressions is hard.

10. Sometimes I take jokes too seriously, and get offended at them very easily.

11. I get cartoonishly angry when someone says something negative about one of my special interests.

12. I personify my stuffed animals and practice having conversations with them.

13. Certain special intrests take years for me to quit being interested in them. And sometimes I continue loving that thing for a really long time.

Soul Strings (Errorink fan fic)

(Based off of @/ask-glitch-and-squid comics)

Wattpad: @ Micha_bitch

Chapter 1:

Error and Ink.

Two anomalies in the vast multiverse.

Two players in the endless battle.

Two enemies.

Two friends.

Two...?

Error was dangling his heals over the edge of a cliff, out looking endless space.

This was a universe he refused to get rid of, known as Outertale. 

Though he'd never admit it, he liked the stars far too much to let them go.

Though the void was his true home, he enjoyed staying in Outertale. He watched as the galaxies slowly drifted by, supported by nothing but the endless inky blackness.

Inky....

Perhaps that wasn't the right word for it.

Plagued by the thoughts that surrounded his skull, he stood up.

If not only to get a better look at his surroundings, but to distract himself from thinking about him.

He knew what this was called, he wasn't dumb.

In fact once, he was very intelligent.

What was the word for it?

It was right at the tip of his non-existant tounge.

Admiration?

Respect?

Affection?

L-

"Heeeeeyyy Glitchyyyy!"

Our dark skulled friend nearly jumped out of his non-existant skin, as his thoughts were interrupted.

Ink...

His soul gave a leap.

Why him?

Why now?

Why can't he just be left alone in his thoughts? His feelings.

In all truth, Error was afraid.

He wasn't quite sure what of, but he was afraid.

Of slipping up? Maybe.

Of being left? Definitely.

Error sat yet again took a seat on the edge of the rock. Slowly drifting into space. Along with his thoughts.

"I t-t-thought you weren't coming."

Errors words tended to get stuck. He was a glitch after all, the type of glitch that caused a horrid stutter.

He thinks that he used to be insecure about it, but frankly he can't remember.

He's been around for so long, doing his lonesome job for so very long. He can't remember anything about his past. The only thing he does remember is his purpose, and that is to destroy glitches such as himself.

To rip the tides of the multiverse apart, if only to satisfy his own self loathing.

And when he is finally finished, only then is he allowed to rest.

"I would never pass up the opportunity to come see you my precious glitchy boy."

Again snapped out of his thoughts, the glitch felt his face heat up. Well as much as it is possible in the coldness of space.

He stayed silent.

Not to speak a word.

Ink placed his giant paint brush down and sat next to Error.

Ink knew that Error wasn't much of a talker, but that was alright with him.

Ink was his opposite in every way.

He was a talker, a creator, a protector.

Earror was silent, an empty soul, a destroyer.

But something about him interested Ink. The creator knew how Error was, and yet he wanted to be around him.

If not for admiration than for entertainment, and safety.

Ink, though a protector of several universes, was not a good Sans.

Ink had no soul, he was just a husk with no emotions.

If anything he was a manipulateur.

He knew he manipulated Error to be friends with him, and yet there was no singe of guilt carried from beneath his belt.

Speaking of his belt, in a literal since, Ink had a belt drifted around his right shoulder.

It was tight and connected at his left side.

Attached to his belt were vials of liquid.

Each on containing a simulated emotion.

They were color coded and were the only ones that existed in the multiverse. He used them very sparsely, running out would be detrimental.

He mostly used the orange one, caring.

He never cared much about anything, but because he was so stubborn, he insisted on caring for all universes.

Even ones he was mot particulierly fond of.

He refused to allow innocent lifes to be destroyed. That's how he originally met Error. In the midst of a universe being destroyed he was able to stop his, at the time, dangerous foe, and save the universe.

Slowly, they became closer, and grew an understanding of one another.

Two glitches. In a multiverse of hatred, slowly became the closest things to friends that two enemies could become.

Like Error, Ink couldn't remember his past, he just woke up in the void one day, emotionless, soulless, cold.

He hated the whiteness. It was boring, so he seaked out other universes. Only to be amazed by the beauty that could be heald.

Unlike his glitchy friend, he couldn't stand how blank his existence was, so he was determined to not let The Destroyer win.

Ink jumped put of his mind when he realized he felt eyes were on him. How long had he been staring off into space? Just observing the stars, the colors, and the blackness around them.

He turned toward the eyes that were facing him only for Error to quickly turn away, with, whats that? A slightly blue hue appearing across The Destroyers face.

Ink was in no way stupid, he was pretty sure he knew what was going on here. And it made him smirk.

"Yyyyou like tttthe stars?"

Ink paused at this question. Error hardly ever spoke, he was hardly a conversationalist.

Ink looked up at the sky and smiled, he felt a twinge of something beneath his soul when he looked at the colors and the bright stars.

"Yeah." He paused. "The deep colors contrast the stars so well."

In response, Error hummed.

They sat again in silence.

Error liked having these meetings with his... friend? If he could even consider Ink a friend. Sometimes they would just meet-up some place and sit in silence for ages. Making small and casual conversation. But today was a little different, and he didn't know why.

"You know, sometimes your eyes look like ssstars."

Error surprised himself with that sentence. Why had he said that?

He looked toward Ink only to look down again, trying not to bring attention to the blue spreading across his face.

Ink was impressed by Errors control over his stutter in that sentence, he was going to comment on it, but then he paused. He allowed the words to process in his head.

That lead to a burst of laughter.

Error hid his face more, turning away, obviously embarrassed by the words that were spoken.

"I-i-i-i-" he couldn't get the words out. The glitchy stutters were all thatje could speak.

Afraid that if he continued he'd shut down, he quit trying to speak.

"You're  ridiculous!" Ink nearly screamed. Still allowing his laughter to bellow outwards.

"Wwwwwhat?!" Errors words stumbled out. At least je could get one word out.

"You like me don't you Glitchy?"

Neurotypical: You should help me put more it's the nice thing to do.

Autistic: Okay, I'll do whatever you need me to do. Just tell me what to do.

Neurotypical: I shouldn't have to tell you what to do, just help.

Autistic: How can I help????

Neurotypical: You're so inconsiderate for not helping even when I don't ask directly for help.

This is a personal experience of mine and I can't describe how frustrating it feels!

I will literally do what you tell me to if you just say it!

I can't understand when you might want my help, so all you have to do is ASK DIRECTLY!

Don't do shit like "oh I wish someone could help me." Because I won't know if that'd a joke or not!

Just say, "Hey can you help me clean this?" Or "Hey do you kind getting the mail for me?"

It's not that hard.

I'm not inconsiderate for not helping you when you didn't ask.

How Popular Is Trump Among Republicans

Republicans Take Steps To Hide Discouraging Polls About Trump

Donald Trump Jr takes the lead in a GOP popularity poll

Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump made up polling data that purportedly showed his widespread popularity. Independent surveys pointed in very different directions, but the Republican dismissed those polls by insisting they were part of an elaborate conspiracy against him.

During his semi-retirement, very little has changed. Trump recently appeared on Dan Bongino’s show, and when asked about the possibility of a third presidential campaign in 2024, the Republican said, “I am giving it the most serious consideration as you can imagine and based on every poll that I’m seeing and everything else. It’s something that is, you know, very positive, nobody’s seen anything more positive.”

At face value, it stood to reason that some polls might actually show Trump’s standing improving now that he’s no longer in office. In fact, that would be consistent with recent history: former presidents routinely see their support climb after they leave they White House.

But with Trump, it’s a bit more complicated.

First, his boasts notwithstanding, the former president appears to have lost support in recent months. In NBC News polling, Trump’s national favorability rating stood at 43% shortly before Election Day. By January, as he prepared to exit the White House, that total had dipped to 40%, and as of two weeks ago, the Republican’s favorability rating had slipped further to just 32%.

As a rule, willful ignorance is an unwise strategy for a political party.

Trump’s Approval Rating Holding Steady At 43 Percent With 55 Percent Disapproving

The same poll found that 35 percent of voters including 74 percent of Republicans but just 30 percent of independents and 3 percent of Democrats believe President-elect Joe Biden did not win the election legitimately.

Sixty-one percent of all voters but just 21 percent of Republicans say Biden did win legitimately.

While a record 10 House Republicans broke ranks to vote for Trump’s impeachment last week, his approval rating among Republicans shows few signs that GOP voters are widely disillusioned with him.

Almost 9 in 10 Republicans 87 percent give Trump a thumbs-up, compared with 89 percent who said the same before the November election.

And even for the half of Republicans who say they prioritize the GOP in general over allegiance to Trump, his high approval remains unmoved by recent events.

Among Republicans who say their primary loyalty is to Trump over the party, 98 percent approve of his performance. For those who say they prioritize the party over the president, his approval still stands at 81 percent virtually unchanged from October.

In the NBC News survey, nearly a third of GOP voters surveyed 28 percent said Trump’s words and actions related to the violence at the Capitol reinforced their vote for Trump.

Just 5 percent said they now regretted their support for him, and two-thirds 66 percent said their feelings had not changed.

An additional 9 percent say Trump is “not as good as most.”

Trumps Popularity Among Republicans Is On The Rise

Just when you thought it was safe to read about politics without constant references to Donald Trump or to polls, Politico and Morning Consult have some news for you, per this headline: Trump Emerges From Impeachment Trial With Sturdy Backing From GOP Voters.

I am very aware that we dont know what the 45th president will do going forward or how well his legacy will wear on his party or the country. Its also crazy early and for many horse-race-weary people, painfully early to talk about what might happen in the 2024 presidential cycle. All in all, most people reading my words likely want nothing more than to hear nothing about Trump for the foreseeable future, or perhaps until the end of time.

Having said all that, its important to acknowledge that Trump is historically unique, and not just because he was impeached twice or because he left office having incited a physical attack on the Capitol to overturn an election defeat that only a liar of his quality could have doubted. Like it or not, he left office as the first defeated president since Herbert Hoover to have reason to believe he could make a comeback, with the goal of becoming the first defeated president since Grover Cleveland to pull it off. So his standing among the fellow partisans who may before very long determine whether a Trump comeback is even plausible should be of interest to anyone wanting to look ahead with clear eyes.

A Popular Theory For Trumps Popularity Among Republicans Appears To Be Wrong

It is not the case, despite President Trumps regular assertions, that his approval rating among Republicans is a consistent 95 percent. Although that figure appears regularly in the presidents Twitter feed, there appears to be no basis for it in public polling.

It is, however, the case that Trump is broadly popular among Republicans. In YouGovs most recent poll with the Economist, 88 percent of his party approves of the job hes doing somewhat offsetting the disapproval he garners among 89 percent of Democrats.

To Democrats, the level of support for Trump within his party seems occasionally baffling. How could someone they hate so much be viewed so positively by the other party? Over the course of Trumps presidency, a theory emerged: Hes so popular among Republicans because Trump-skeptical Republicans have simply given up on the party. Wring all the skeptics out of the party, and youre left with a more unanimous, if smaller, core.

Theres a public example of how this would work, after all: Had Rep. Justin Amash not left the party in July, the vote to impeach Trump in the House would not have been unanimously opposed by Republicans. Instead of Republicans voting 195-to-1 against impeachment, it was 195-to-0. This, perhaps, is how Trumps approval also works.

Unfortunately for that theory, though, the numbers dont really back it up.

The numbers havent changed much.

And thousands began calling on Trump to intervene and to tell his followers to back down… which, of course, he refused to do along with refusing to take responsibility for the actions of the rioters.

Most Popular Republican Politicians Today

A look at popular Republicans in America shows that they come in all sizes and shapes.

Stacker compiled a list of the 50 most popular Republicans, based on data collected by YouGov from interviews between May 2019 and May 2020, with at least 7,000 people interviewed for each figure. The list is ranked by Republicans that have the highest positive opinion among voters, with ties being broken by how famous the politician is today.

Some Republicans find avid support from religious communities for their evangelical Christian views, opposing social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion rights. Some win backing for their policy stands, taking hawkish positions on immigration or foreign policy. They might build a following with their fervent belief in the rights of gun owners, or have been judged worthy by their response to crises such as the Sept. 11 attacks.

Still others build staying power among the public as longtime Washington forces of power, exceptionally skilled at making deals or ambitious fundraising. Some build support with bipartisanship and effective networking across party lines, while others cement their fortunes by toeing a strict party line. Many are war veterans, striking a chord with voters with their military service, including those that return home with lifelong scars.

Trump Approval Remains Stable In New Nbc Poll With Republicans Unmoved After Capitol Violence

WASHINGTON Donald Trump is the only president in history to be impeached twice this time for his role in encouraging a deadly assault on the Capitol by his supporters but he is poised to leave office with a job approval rating that is fairly typical of his entire time in office.

A new NBC News poll found that 43 percent of voters nationwide gave Trump a positive job approval rating, just barely down from 45 percent who said the same before the November election and the 44 percent who approved of his performance shortly after he took office in 2017.

New 2020 Voter Data: How Biden Won How Trump Kept The Race Close And What It Tells Us About The Future

Reddit

As we saw in 2016 and again in 2020, traditional survey research is finding it harder than it once was to assess presidential elections accurately. Pre-election polls systemically misjudge who is likely to vote, and exit polls conducted as voters leave the voting booths get it wrong as well.

Now, using a massive sample of validated voters whose participation has been independently verified, the Pew Research Center has . It helps us understand how Joe Biden was able to accomplish what Hillary Clinton did notand why President Trump came closer to getting reelected than the pre-election surveys had predicted.

How Joe Biden won

Five main factors account for Bidens success.

The Biden campaign reunited the Democratic Party. Compared to 2016, he raised the share of moderate and conservative Democrats who voted for the Democratic nominee by 6 points, from 85 to 91%, while increasing the Democratic share of liberal Democrats from 94 to 98%. And he received the support of 85% of Democrats who had defected to 3rd party and independent candidates in 2016.

How Trump kept it close

Despite non-stop controversy about his policies and personal conduct, President Trump managed to raise his share of the popular vote from 46% in 2016 to 47% in 2020. His core coalition held together, and he made a few new friends.

WASHINGTON, May 24 – A majority of Republicans still believe Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election and blame his loss to Joe Biden on illegal voting, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

The May 17-19 national poll found that 53% of Republicans believe Trump, their party’s nominee, is the true president now, compared to 3% of Democrats and 25% of all Americans.

About one-quarter of adults believe the Nov. 3 election was tainted by illegal voting, including 56% of Republicans, according to the poll. The figures were roughly the same in a poll that ran from Nov. 13-17 which found that 28% of all Americans and 59% of Republicans felt that way.

A Democrat, Biden won by more than seven million votes. Dozens of courts rejected Trumps challenges to the results, but Trump and his supporters have persisted in pushing baseless conspiracy theories on conservative news outlets.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 61% of Republicans believe the election was “stolen” from Trump. Only about 29% of Republicans believe he should share some of the blame for his supporters’ Jan. 6 deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Nearly Six Months Later Partisan Gaps On Culpability Motivation And Severity Of Capitol Attack Have Widened

GOP voters are now more likely to blame President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress for the events that led to the Capitol attack than they are Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers.

The overall electorate has become more likely to say the Capitol rioters represent the Republican Party.

68% of GOP voters say there has been too much focus on the January 6th events, while 50% of all voters disagree.

This article is part of a deep dive on the Jan. 6 riot in Washington and creeping authoritarianism in America. See all of our work here.

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of then-President Donald Trumps supporters, a handful of Republican leaders were joined by a number of their voters in bestowing at least some culpability on Trump and the GOP in Washington.

Nearly six months later, Morning Consult polling has found that while the bulk of the overall electorate still shares that perspective, Republican voters appear to be following their leaders as they become increasingly likely to disassociate themselves, their party and Trump from the insurrection.

Republican voters are now more likely to blame President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats for the events that led to the Capitol attack than they are Trump and GOP lawmakers, many of whom supported his false claims of widespread election irregularities. That stance puts them at odds with the broader electorate, whose views on the matter have gone virtually unchanged.

Half Of Republican Respondents Said Former President Should Play Major Role In Partys Future

Find your bookmarks in your Independent Premium section, under my profile

Former president Donald Trumps popularity rating among Republicans has begun to bounce back since he left office, with half of respondents saying they think he should play a major role in the GOPs future.

According to tracking by Morning Consult, 81 per cent of Republican voters polled between 23 to 25 January hold positive views of Mr Trump, including 54 per cent who do so strongly.

The number marks an improvement on the 76 per cent low of Republican voters who favoured him in tracking between 10 and 12 of January ahead of his impeachment when those who strongly favoured Mr Trump sat at 49 per cent.

Fifty percent of Republican voters in a poll by the company between the 22 and 25 of January also think Mr Trump should maintain a significant role in the partys future, an increase of nine percentage points since the insurrection.

The former presidents popularity dropped following the 6 January when pro-Trump supporters attacked the Capitol as lawmakers gathered to certify Joe Bidens win, vandalising and looting the building.

Opinion: Why Donald Trump May Lose Influence In The Republican Party

Common wisdom holds that former president Donald Trump remains the dominant force within the Republican Party. The truth is that his personal influence and standing are not as powerful as many imagine, and his power is as likely to decline as it is to increase.

Theres no denying that many Republicans still revere Trump. He remains highly popular with GOP voters, and candidates for office still vie for his endorsement. Two recent Politico/Morning Consult polls show how strong he remains. A mid-May poll found that half of Republicans surveyed would vote for Trump in a hypothetical 2024 presidential primary matchup, and another poll released this week shows that 59 percent want Trump to play a major role in the party going forward. Trump is clearly the single most influential figure in the party today.

Other signs point to the gradual erosion of Trumps influence. Candidates may seek his support, but those who fail to get it dont drop out of the race. Trumps endorsement of Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks for his states open Senate seat did not dissuade Katie Britt, a former chief of staff to retiring Sen. Richard C. Shelby, from entering the race on Tuesday. Her three-minute announcement video barely mentions Trump and strikes traditional conservative themes of faith, family and hard work.

Why Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Is So High Among Republicans

As the U.S. experienced mass unrest over police brutality and racial inequality, a huge spike in unemployment, and on the current count more than 116,000 coronavirus deaths, President Donald Trump’s approval rating took an unsurprising turn for the worse.

But there is one group of voters who have remained squarely in Trump’s corner in spite of the triple crises facing the nation: Republicans.

Over the past few months, the president has frequently gloated about his high party-approval figures. Tweeting about his approval rating among Republicans on Tuesday night, Trump wrote: “96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you!”

As The Washington Post reported at the end of May, the president’s evidence-free claim to have a 96 percent approval rating among GOP voters is not grounded in actual polling data.

Donald Trump’s Economic Approval Rating Has Fallen Below 50 Percent: Poll

Nevertheless, his rating among the Republican base has been consistently high over the last three months.

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll of 653 Republicans found 83 percent approved of Trump’s record, a fall of only 5 percentage points from the pollster’s March survey. The latest poll, conducted between June 12 to 14, has a 2 percentage point margin of error.

So how has the president’s approval rating among Republicans stayed so high, even amid unrest over race relations, unemployment, and public health?

Donald Trump remains the king of the GOP. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is looking like the crown prince.

For months, DeSantis stature has been expanding within the party, marked by growing buzz among grassroots activists and GOP consultants who admire the pugilistic style of politics he wields against progressives and the media. Hes consistently won GOP straw polls of presidential hopefuls provided Trump doesnt run in 2024 and he even edged out the former president in favorability in one of the informal surveys.

Now a new nationwide poll of Republican voters points to him as the front-runner in the event Trump does not run in 2024.

Trump remains the clear leader of the party. If he decided to run again for president in a crowded 2024 primary field, he would get roughly half of the vote, with DeSantis in a distant second place at 19 percent, according to a new survey of GOP voters from veteran Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio. Everyone else including former Vice President Mike Pence would be in single digits.

Fabrizio has polled for both Trump and DeSantis in the past.
