a day off with spence
Tumblr media
hi cuties! pls be nice this is my first post šŸ«§ and also plssss send some requests or head cannons!
you both forget to turn off your alarms after such a long week so your 5 am wake up call startled the both of you to say the least
after a moment of panic you realize you dont have to get up, turn the alarm off, and cuddle back into spencer
he doesnā€™t really know if heā€™ll fall asleep again after that but he doesnā€™t mind, heā€™ll take the time to memorize each ā€˜imperfectionā€™ on your perfect face as you sleep
as the sun comes up, he realizes he hates the taste of morning breath and thinks about getting up soon but really doesnā€™t even want to think about being away from you for even a second
the nature of your job doesnā€™t really allow for sleeping in and soon enough you stir, looking up into his sweet eyes, spencer feels caught, like an adolescent boy who was caught ogling the prettiest girl in class
after a few soft ā€˜i love yousā€™, you both get up and decide to order in for breakfast, not wanting to cook anything after such a long week ( mainly wanting to spend as much time cozied up together as you could)
the rest of the morning is slow until you have to go out to the store to get groceries for dinner (because you havenā€™t been home in a week nearly every fresh food has gone stale or mushy and a frozen meal isnā€™t very appealing at the moment)
on the way back from the store spencer reminds you of a little restaurant youā€™d been waiting to try. you both walk in, hand in hand, and stare at the menu above the counter as you wait in line
leaving with a new favorite restaurant, you remember your cold groceries and although spencer doesnā€™t like the idea of how many people had been in the taxi and the last time it had been disinfected, he opted for the faster route home
with several hours left until it would be socially acceptable to start dinner, you both decided on putting away groceries and putting on a show. spencer reached for a new book from the shelf and joined you on the couch
spencer catches you deep in thought when you dont hear him gently saying your name. overthinking is his brand so when he cant exactly decipher the look on your face, a brief moment of worry is draped over him
when you realize heā€™s just staring at you the same way youā€™d been looking at the wall, you give him a soft smile and ask, ā€˜whats going on in that head of yours?ā€™
deep conversations about the way neither of you ever thought you deserved to be awarded love like this ensue, to spencer every breath you take is special, he realizes heā€™s found home and he wants to spend the rest of his life there.
a few episodes no one payed attention to passed and the sky started to marble in hues of pinks and orange and you couldnā€™t be happier
the sun starts to set early and typically you start to feel a little worse, with spencer, you forget all about that feeling
the oven beeps and thereā€™s a pot boiling over on the stove as you and spencer run around the kitchen giggling, both of you are perfectionistā€™s but in this moment you dont care for anything but eachother
dinner tastes slightly off and you remember you forgot to add the salt, spencer tells you he doesnā€™t care and praises you for doing the majority of the work to make this meal
a slow shower later, and after staring at each other in the mirror with mouths full of toothpaste, you think about how lucky you are to be wrapped in the arms of the love of your life while he recites poems with the occasional yawn
you arenā€™t ready for sleep to take over and you want to relive the day a hundred times over
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
k so did we like it or should i just delete everything and never come on tumblr againšŸ˜

(i was the nonnie who asked about how america works) i don't really wanna keep going back and forth with this cause i dont wanna be annoying or anything, but i did a little bit of research and... that's not really what i've seen??
for all the economy stuff, Biden still had four (or is it five? idk how long your presidents stay in office) years to fix the economy he got from trump if it really was bad, and what ive seen from gas prices and grocery prices in america, he clearly hasn't done that
kamala also had four years to fix the issues she was talking about, so there's that
also, from what i know (pls correct me if im wrong) all of those sexual assault cases and other charges placed against him were proven wrong. i dont think hes actually been indicted or placed in jail for anything (which ig you could sum up to the unfair legal system over there, but wasn't there that hole issue with the Clinton guy?? maybe im getting things confused, idk)
from my research didn't he also provide a lot more jobs for people of color? ive never heard him say anything explicitly racist during his rally's (i havent watched all of them) or with his legislation. ik that whole thing with the border wall was going on, and i do think that was 100% rash way to deal with the border crisis, but the Biden guy also didn't do anything to help that situation
for reproductive rights, i remember tuning into the kamala v. trump debate and he explicitly said that he was pro-abortion in the cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother (if you think that abortion should be okay in any circumstance, the ig its just a different morality, where i live thats very not okay)
for the banning books thing, ive seen plenty of clips where in elementary school library's theyve been putting out books with porn and smut in them, which i think is not okay for little children to be leanring. from what i understand, that's probably what he was trying to do with banning books (again, pls correct me if im wrong)
and i've also never really seen him display any sort of homophobic tendencies.
pls keep in mind that this is all very basic level research, as i dont really have time to go that in depth, but im majoring in politcial science at my uni, so i think this is an interesting and important topic to discuss (sorry for making this so long)
so you seem pretty pro trump at this point but Iā€™ll still humor you if you want to be so forgiving of him.
Who told you those sexual assault cases werenā€™t true? Those victims still stand by their stories.
And I said Iā€™m not saying that Biden is great. But he was still working with Trumps fuck up. Also idk how much you know about a vice president, but they canā€™t really do much when theyā€™re not president. Iā€™m not saying Harris did everything she coudlve done, but being a vp has a lot less power than you think.
And for reproductive rights, yeah right. Those fuckers donā€™t give a DAMN about any cases. Even if they say they do. They want it gone, point blank period.
And one of his first days of office he took away trans people from the military. He spews homophobia.
Do more research. This is embarrassing

i just watched geek girl on netflix! i have some... criticism... but i actually really enjoyed it! very cute and has similar vibes to like angus, thongs and perfect snogging/bend it like beckham (which side note: both great movies directed by the same woman) but yeah! has the vibes of a 2000s british movie - combined with the under-rated use of a teen girl voice over!

a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

Hi kit! Any books recs or your favourite ones? Iā€™ve been having a thought time at uni and I need a break
hmmm well not sure what you're in the mood for, but i just read what we fed to the manticore and i cannot recommend it enough!!! it's not exactly lighthearted but it is really touching, approaching environmental conservation and even military oppression through the perspective of animals. i also finally just finished pageboy, which took me some time to read but i recommend it if you're interested in celeb memoirs (emphasis on celeb memoir; while i liked page's stream of consciousness about his experiences, it's very raw and lacking introspection, imo. but still worth a read if you're interested).
otherwise i don't have much to recommend that i haven't already before, i'm trying to really get back into reading consistently this year (and reading books that are actually good lol) a lot of the books i read last year weren't really good enough for me to want to recommend.
but i did really like minor detail, but if you're looking for a break maybe skip it for now as it's a very heavy read. if you're looking for a quick and weird extreme horror book then i'd recommend to be devoured.
i'm now reading i shudder at your touch which i linked a few days ago, i'm about 3 stories in and i've really enjoyed the second and third one (sea lovers was like right up my alley), but the first one is kinda a slog to get through (or not, if you like stephen king i guess)

I for sure have different opinions about characters in 2024 than i did in whatever the other years were. Espec Aramis. I was gonna write a big post but actually all I really mean is I like him. I got a bit into negative against Aramis things last time around, I intend to keep on liking him this time. this time around i am watching for pure hedonism to enjoy the characters doing fun fighty things and then I will read many fanfictions,

if no one ever takes any of my other media recommendations, you should all check out just a single episode of Just King Things, a podcast where two media academics who grew up on his books read all the works of stephen king in publication order.
pick one for a book you hate! pick a book you love! pick a book you saw the movie for! or start at the beginning and listen to the whole thing despite having never read or watched a single stephen king art object (like me!)
i truly think JKT provides such an extremely helpful and nuanced and important take on media analysis Especially in terms of like, online pop culture analysis, and it's been so extremely useful and validating to listen to the boys discuss king's works in a way that holds the critiques and their enjoyment of his work in both hands as equal and looks at them all at once.
like whenever i get fed up and feel like im banging my head against the wall seeing people turn their likes&dislikes into something with a moral basis because thats the only "valid" way to criticize something online in fan spaces, or on the flip side seeing people explode about any criticism of a piece of media they like as though it is a personal attack on their own status as a "good person," its so so so nice and refreshing to be able to take a step back and listen to the hosts talk about these books in such a measured and complex way.
(and also, if you chuck $5 their way, you too can receive emails like this from the boys:

weird question but. does anyone know any horror game playthroughs good for someone who gets scared really easily HJEBDJFB
what i mean is like. i like the mystery and aesthetics of horror But i'm a wimp and watch playthroughs while doing something else so i'm not completely unnerved and jumpscares dont hit as hard bc i'm not looking directly at them

do autistic people with special interests like trains or bugs sometimes absolutely hate that they have a special interest in that? like my special interests are psychology and supernatural and both of them make me want to scrape the inside of my brain with a spoon sometimes. Like I hate that I can't control these thing and like cant just give my self a new interest. Like i can try but some of them are just SO sicky.

fucked up what happened to mike crew.
#i think that and maybe leitner voice debut and the whole dark ritual story arc are some of the only things ive actually really really-#disliked about the podcast#NOT THAT THE LEITNER VOICE DEBUT WAS BAD#i just think that it took away from a lot of the tension that was building however i do love brutal pipe murder#also making the avatars so easy to kill just humanizes them too much to me which i think is the opposite of what was trying to be done#like the put so so so much emphasis on how michael isnt michael anymore he's something else and how jon is slowly losing his humanity#and thats a lot of the horror is losing your humanity#which i understand some avatars are going to be more human than others but yknow#its also a horror podcast#theres something terrifying about living so long being stuck in a not quite human state not being able to go on without feeding your fear#you technically dont have as much autonomy as you think you do and thats terrifying#but that kind of gets lost when you make it so easy to kill some of them#and like didnt jon also...have to go see the flesh to even get bones out of himself like he was having physical issues with?? bleeding??#i dunno#i actually didnt mind gerry's explanation of things#i know some people did but its just as cryptic as any other explanation#like the fears cant really be rationalised whatever you think you know about them is wrong#like he also didnt really know fuck all about anything else jon asked him#you gotta remember he really just wanted to get out of that book as well#ā€œyeah the world changes in terrible ways for YOU. im a bookā€#ā€œyou cant be serious.ā€ ā€œim dead seriousā€#so realistically with how little gertrude actually told him about any of it and how much he just wanted to get out of the book yknow you#gotta take everything he said with a grain of salt#SORRY FOR RANTING ON MAIN I WAS JUST HAVING THOUGHTS#stickers lore

#here's some of the classics on that list i have beef with btw:#i have tried to read A Confederacy of Dunces several times and it's funny but it's also so cringe and Ignatius is so obnoxious#that i find it too difficult to finish like i just feel depressed and bad for everybody around him too much#i tried reading Infinite Jest like a decade ago and i got like 200 pages in and i remember thinking it felt like#such a slog the entire time because he's just so gd wordy and also i stopped liking DFW after i heard the abuse allegations against him#frankenstein i didnt read that long ago but i just remember finding it so boring for some reason?? i feel i might need to read it again#dracula ngl i feel like im cheating a bit saying ive completely read it because i loved the beginning and then HATED so much of the rest#the characters were just so boring and melodramatic hahaha i just liked the part where jonathan was doing a travel diary#and trapped in the castle tbh and after that i skimmed quite a bit#i almost flipped my shit when i saw ender's game on there because I ALWAYS mix it up with ready player one by ernest cline#which i bought the audiobook of a while back and hated every minute of it i dont think its good at all#but it wasnt that so phew my faith in this list is somewhat restored#i read most of the first game of thrones book and was disappointed tbh maybe because id seen the show already#so i was like 'this feels almost exactly the same except worse?' because i'd been expecting it to give me more depth and insight#into the characters but instead it felt exactly the same and i still didnt love any of the characters enough to feel attached to them#also i am fully aware me not personally liking or vibing with a book doesnt mean it doesnt deserve to be considered great btw#but i think if youre gonna be like me and force yourself to go through a bunch of lists like this very seriously then you also need to just#let yourself be like 'yeah not for me' without feeling too bad about it sometimes too#often times i dont particularly love the classics or 'important books' but at the same time#i still feel like im getting more out of reading them than just grabbing the newest hyped up books that also dont do anything for me#maybe not in a 'wow i loved reading this' way but in like a#'i now have first-hand knowledge of this thing that is so influential / so frequently referenced'#or 'this challenged me and i feel like i did a mental/emotional workout or gave me some new food for thought'#or 'made me more aware of what gaps in my knowledge and reading skills and what my tastes are too'#sort of way...#it really just depends on what you're reading for and why and what you're hoping to get out of it a lot of the time maybe#it's like the homework i give myself to go through these lists that i also intersperse with the stuff i read more just for fun#p

When I love a song, Iā€™ll love it forever
#random post#smth i thought about earlier. yknow. I have a hard time picking favorites with literally everything#I also have what I SAY is a favorite of mine. but I have a hard time really pinpointing whats number 1 in my brain#like. I love lots of things. I like different aesthetics and clothing and art mediums and movies and shows and books and music and people#but itā€™s difficult trying to find the favorite. some things are easier cus thereā€™s more that I DONT like so it kinda singles out an option#like with music. I love LOTS of music. but what does it mean when smth is a favorite? I donā€™t have a favorite genre cus I have songs I love#from all over. even ones I havenā€™t heard yet. music overall is one of my favorite things. Iā€™m not joking when I say itā€™s a love language#I love the melodies and beats and rhythms and lyrics and voices. always and forever will have a place in my heart and mind#I hate questions that want to know favorites. isnā€™t it enough to just show you instead? to share everything with you? why do you need one#single thing to know exactly who I am? wouldnā€™t you get me better if you spent a day with me instead?#I canā€™t remember everything of importance to me. not all in one single moment. if I went through my playlists and told you what songs I love#and why. what books I love and why. what anything I love and why. youā€™d find that Iā€™m a bit undefined. Iā€™m an artist and a creator. strong#yet weak imagination. sometimes think better in the abstract and other times do better with whatā€™s set in stone#I love sharing things with people. I wish people would engage more with what I share sometimes. but I never hold it against em or hate them#if they donā€™t haha. often I feel down when ppl donā€™t engage with what I share. I know people arenā€™t obligated to do things but. yknow. itā€™s#my heart in a platter. splayed our for everyone. bits of me I want to share. what I want people to see. Iā€™ve sat down with people to share#music I like. one friend said a song I like was scary. some people make faces at what I play. some have paid it no mind at all. they donā€™t#even know how important to me sharing something like that is. hell. how important me sharing ANYTHING is. itā€™s so easy to hide away#everything about myself. yet here I am trying my hardest to open myself up. yea. wish I was able to connect with someone like that#in person I mean. I guess. I just want to lay down with someone and play music we love. explain why we love it. or try to understand why#idk Iā€™m getting rambly. I just want to do new things forever. and relive the first time everytime#this isnā€™t a vent or anything. just thinking and writing as I do. typing helps me to keep my mind on track. a bit at least. as much as one#with a brain like mine can havagahhaga. I wonder if anyone actually reads through my tag rambles in their entirety. I know it looks daunting#so I donā€™t blame you if you canā€™t or donā€™t feel like it. it wonā€™t kill me if my words are lost in the void#haha anyways yea :> thinking lots
