#but drugs are one hell of a drug

[apomaro-mellow]

Well, it's been over a month and quite a few things have happened so it's time to break it all down. I'm putting it all under a cut because it is quite personal but if you like drama that doesn't involve you, give it a read.

So back in July, my brother's baby mama blew up. Not unusual, but she was particularly ornery today. The reason being my mom tossed the old carseat (after buying a spankin' new one since, ya know, babies groooow). But baby mama didn't wanna hear that bc apparently she wanted to sell the old one. Now see, this is reasonable. To want to hold onto your own property and get rid of it on your own terms is reasonable. What is NOT, is screaming in the face of a woman who has basically been co-parenting your child.

Of course, this is when my brother decides to be chivalrous bc how dare this mess of a woman who I have chosen be mad disrespectful to my parents. Never mind that he's been mad rude to them to their faces too, suddenly it's a problem when someone else does it.

It was a horrid mess of chaos that happened in probably less than thirty minutes start to finish from the moment the shouting started to the moment the cops left. Baby is crying pretty much the whole time because her parents are addicted to toxicity. Spent like ten minutes tryina get this bitch to leave but she was more concerned with getting a rise out of my brother (with her baby in her arms!) and I fully believe that if he woulda swung on her, she wouldn't have cared if her infant daughter caught a stray she is that vile.

At one point I do try and reach for the baby and this girl literally twisted and fell to the ground tryina get away from me, but the moment she could walked right back up to my brother who is literally screaming in her face.

Anyway, cops get called, the show up, get the story from me, her, and my mother (my brother has either stomped off somewhere or is being talked to by my dad). Things settle and what should come in the mail about a week later but assault charges for me and theft for my mom (for the aforementioned carseat).

Now part of me wanted to wring her neck just to keep her from being a liar. BUT this also meant that if she was going to keep up appearances then she wasn't going to show her face, at least until the hearing.

And when I tell you that since then I have experienced the most peaceful month of the last fours yearssssssss. Now of course my anxiety gets the best of me at times because assault charges are no joke and I'm too soft for prison and I'll walk into traffic before I give her a dime of fine money but that brings us to today.

Because her ass is strung out and she's irresponsible and doesn't follow through on things and so she failed to screen the case which means nolle prosequi which means I am not being prosecuted which means wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.

more of this shattered glass au!

here’s the high guard! elita, bee & orion together overpower D pretty easily and start frolicking through the city laying waste to everything, so they side with D to help him make a stand against his ex-gang and….they have a big fight or something??? i dont know!! but it’s cool to draw!!

Orion, bee, and elita still ultimately end up killing alpha trion through the power of friendship, but thats a comic for another time!!

I guess what gets me about fatphobia is seeing someone literally recovering from addiction and gaining weight being framed as a bad thing because a substance use problem that is eating you from the inside out is preferable so long as you are twenty pounds lighter.

It has never been about people's health.

I've seen a lot of people talk about how the game doesn't give you any leeway when you play The Dark Urge, how it makes it very clear that Durge was A Bad Person, but I haven't seen it pointed out that Sceleritas seems VERY well versed in gaslighting the hell out of them and steering Durge away from any doubt or guilt in regards to their actions. Makes me think that they've probably had those types of conversations before because Durge actually always had a soft spot, only it got smaller and smaller in time. I have not had the opportunity to see the Heal cutscene yet, but I've got the butler in my camp now and he had some interesting things to say, like

[Durge: Can you tell me the worst thing I ever did?

Sceleritas Fel: There was one time you gave a beggar some coin while we were en route to the Devil's Fee.

Sceleritas Fel: You didn't kick him or spot on him or anything! I was so shocked I almost fainted!

Sceleritas Fel: I still have nightmares about it to this day. But I'm sure you only did so to lower the suspicions of the Flaming Fist. Surely?]

and it struck me because tossing a coin to a beggar is a bit of a thoughtless act isn't it? You don't put much thought into it, you just see someone in need and you do it. Out of empathy, generosity, something The Murder Incarnate should not be capable of. Sceleritas' uncertainty of Durge's reasoning for it totally convinces me it was NOT intentional. A simple act of kindness that slipped out.

ALSO

[Sceleritas Fel: The only way for a Butler to die is if we are not of use to our Master. But you have always needed abundant assistance.]

They always needed abundant assistance. Why? Because they kept slipping out of Bhaal's grasp? We know they did at least once, with Gortash. Maybe it was not the first time, maybe there are more "Letters of Forgiveness" tucked away somewhere.

To me pre-tadpole Durge is just terribly mindbroken and indoctrinated person hooked onto the sense of safety, purpose and acceptance of their dark side that the cultists and their father give them. Yeah they enjoy murder, gore and all that. That's the curse of their blood, but I don't think they were ever entirely consumed by it. Morality, guilt and empathy have always been there on the edge of their mind. Losing their memories (depending on player choices I know, but bear with me) was what they needed for them to be finally brought forward.

End of the Stelly and Sabo interaction! its weird to think that that literally took a month to get through. So glad Stelly's smirk could return.

I so desperately need to get a life.

[jasontoddsguns]

Me on my period: I need someone to hold me. I need chaste kisses. I need someone to hold my hand and kiss my knuckles. I need-

Me off my period: okay what the actual fuck was that

[ophanstears]

i could explain why anyone that says "flowey cant feel (positive emotions) because he doesnt have a soul" is wrong but i dont feel like it. all you need to know that as a fellow trauma survivor he is my puppet to project onto whether he likes it or not

read the tags for more i suppose

i think that if you find yourself penning a post arguing that women are intrinsically too sentimental/hysterical/emotional/intellectually shallow/sexually frigid/otherwise deficient to have valid opinions about a fictional male character (excepting, of course, those women who agree entirely with your opinions), you should perhaps stop and ask yourself 'am i committing a misogyny in the name of winning a stupid ship war on tumblr dot com?'

and then you should shut the fuck up.

Loss..

This.. this ends @spahhzy and @epic-arc I SHALL GO BEYOND! I SHALL GO FUCKED UP.

enjoy this "whiteknight" post.

Weiss: jaune I'm home.

Weiss walked into her home holding groceries, as she smelled the familiar scent of rot. As Weiss heard jaunes voice.

'jaune': I'm on the couch. How was work?

Weiss: It was good. Ruby decided to talk to me, something about how I'm going too far with something.

'jaune': maybe she's just mad you didn't make it to the get together.

Weiss put down the groceries and walked into the living room. Looking at her husband, his pale skin and deteriorating hair. His clothes freshly cleaned as he looked stunning to her... As he always did.

Weiss: perhaps.. she really should stop being childish.

'jaune': you said it.

Weiss sat beside her husband as she held him close, putting her head on his chest as she could hear his "heartbeat" through the wound that came from Cinder' spear.

Weiss would still have her smile as tears started flooding from her eyes.

Weiss: I love you.. my knight.

Weiss was happy.. she should be.. that's how he would want her to be.

I really like Tumblr's approach to things vs like everywhere else.

Instead of going wow bad things happening, guess we'll all die, y'all look for explanations and solutions.

It's something I jive with so much more. Doomerism sucks ass. Figuring out a context and explaining how to go forward is so much more helpful. There's room for nuance, discussion, and learning.

I dig.
