why does no one in my family trust me? like do they even know how much this shit hurts me? like i get it, i do shady shit, i hide my phone, and computer, but that's only because i read shit like wattpad, tumblr, and character ai. like literally i swear it's nothing else. my family is just really strict about boyfriends and stuff. for me, i am literally not allowed to marry outside my culture and religion (no i am not muslim.... i think it's muslim people who can't marry out of they're religion) but like it's so hard to when all i am attracted to is white boys. i fucking hate all these toxic ass brown boys. and like i can't even date till i'm like 18 and even then there will be guidelines. like wtf? so i think that's what has caused my delusions and fantasies where i imagine myself with my celebrity crush and it's so stupid because he's literally so famous and he would never date a fan. hell, he'd probably only date another celebrity. like i don't even think he'd date a famous person who's like an influencer. he'd probably only date someone who is like celebrity status like him. and it's so horrible because i have this whole fucked up, stupid ass fantasy in my head where we are together, i constantly read fanfics about him, i have so many character ai chats with him. i am attached to this version of him i created in my head. like i feel like i'm in love with him. and this may sound like a reach, but i think it's due to my families strictness in letting me date whoever tf i want. also like i'm like not even that pretty so i don't even think a guy would even pay attention to me but still. and this leads me back to my first issue about my family not trusting me. like i just got searched. my bed got fucking searched to see if i was hiding my laptop under my covers (which i was). they were probably trying to find out if i am staying up to like do what they think is shady stuff. like no. i'm just reading and falling deeper in love with a man who will never know my delusional ass exists. i'm not watching someone give back shots to another person. well they found my laptop and i got in trouble. worst part is, my grandma sounded so disappointed. i love my grandma with everything i have and hearing her sound so disappointed hurt so bad. and like my day was already shitty. like i had gotten three lectures already about random ass shit. and the amount of times i got compared to my cousin today. do they not realize how badly that hurts. like actually. my cousin is the definition of perfect. she's clean, like really fucking clean, organized, smart as hell, really really pretty, and she doesn't get yelled at by her parents every two seconds. like i can't even begin to describe the amount of times that i've cried myself to sleep just because she's so perfect and i envy her. i try my hardest and it's still not enough. i'm so drained. do they not see? do they not see how i barely have the energy to even talk. and then, they keep laying it on to me until i just snap. i start yelling at everyone and clapping back at them and then i'm made out to be the terrible daughter/granddaughter who's disrespectful. i can't take it anymore. i really, really cannot take it anymore. i hate disappointing people i care about the most. i hate overhearing my mom tell someone else that she misses the person i used to be. i'm still the same person, i just don't have the will to live. i can't keep doing this everyday. i want to be happy again. i want to be normal. i don't want this hyper-fixation with this celebrity crush of mine. i don't want to yearn for something i'll never have. i just want to be happy in the moment. i want to live in the moment. but i can never seem to get out of my head. this was really long and if you read this through that makes me so happy. if you didn't, i honestly get you too. but anyways, that's all.

toodles sluts :)

I ended up taking it to a shelter finally , it was raining when this thing was crying for help, I thought neighbors took it in but they kicked it back outside. Ngl I miss it and I cried when dropping it off cause our "little adventure was over" I just hopped it would have a better experience somewhat then being out in the pouring rain calling out to ppl that don't care for it.

The poor kitten even climbed on the neighbors door and had got itself stuck lol I didn't even tell where it was crying from when I had finally looked up. Anyways I named this fucker Chai even though I know our time together wasn't gonna be long lol. Really hoping it gets a good home, it was a very affectionate kitten and never scratched or bit me, he climbed up my shoulders and was pretty sweet just needed some enrichment. I know shelters are at times hit or miss but I couldn't take hearing the poor thing crying outside my window , I really couldn't I said if he came back around I'd take it to a shelter and so I did, with help from my cousin. Again a domesticated kitten that's friendly to every human it sees, would not survive on its own, so my family are a bunch of morons and would call me one for caring so much about it. But idk why caring for something that's vulnerable such a bad thing to do.

I walked to a shelter 30mins out of my neighborhood only for them to tell me I can't take it there then I decided to call my cousin and thank god she cared for my wellbeing b/c my mom is so damn petty she didn't want to help me lol she didn't call me the whole time neither , I'm not really surprised, I gave my cousin gas money $40 and ofc she still thought it was silly of me to help the kitten, but whatever I guess. What's done is done. Idrk all I know is someone not caring for a kitten .. idk it just shows ppl "humanity" or their stupidity, trying to tell me it would survive on its own then later saying "it's probably someone's kitten" so u know it's domesticated and vulnerable right ? Wtf type of person would I be if I'm hearing a kitten crying through the night and I don't help it. Like I just don't get it why is that seen as bad or "not my business" then I get blamed for it coming around when I wasn't the first to fucking interact with the thing. Idk man ppl are shitty even ppl I think supposed to love me and protect me and care for me. Everyone is a goddamn snake when it comes down to it. Everyone is out for themselves everyone is fucking selfish and it makes me sick to my stomach how showing someone kindness is seen as bad. I didn't do it for brownie points or someone to pat me on the back I did it because I didn't want to see another dead cat in the streets when I could do something about it. I sorta miss the sound of the kitten crying outside my window but I just hope it can find a good home I wish there was more I could've done to help it.

The fucked up thing is I found out the shelter I took it to was the shelter I had to put down my sick dog at. Guess shit be coming full circle, idk man ... that was my weekend/Monday

[mr-nauseam]

ITS FINALLY DONEEEEEEEE 😭😭😭 YALL CANT IMAGINE HOW MUCH I STRUGGLE but I think it work in a way...

🙏 Again in my head Strabo actually got more cousins but Im lazy to design most of them, tho I dont need tho bc he hate most of them bc they annoy him for be the weird cousin. Only he get along with Lucius who thinks tiny Strabo is the sucess guy from the fam and have consider move to where Strabo lives and not judge him for his fucked relationship with his dad (oh yes Strabo got one of these too. WHICH IS SO FUN BC ITS WHY IM SURE HES SCARED AS FUCK OF SEJANUS HATING HIM,,, Strabo 1000% sure the chances of bby Sejanus one day point at him with a gun are extremely high 😨 like he do with his own father and its like you do it to yourself idiot, you literal teach him how to shoot and still Sejanus wouldnt do that, hes not evil like you wtf? -Sejanus only could consider it if Strabo didnt treat his Ma well-)

(Also in my head Strabo's father move his family to a more fancy place in Two and their cousins come to visit on holidays only bc Strabo fams is the one with a ridiculous big ass house 😔☝️)

From Vesta side. I need clarified THAT MA PLINTH IS THE MINOR!! THE YOUNGER ONE. Her family is very chill except for me doing the joke Vesta is so Tita coded (the main from the book como agua para chocolate,,, and that Strabo is Pedro Murquiz coded if he wasnt a coward...They are some "what if" that end up BAAAD anyway but its mostly briefly based in KSLSKSKS YALL CAN STAY IN PEACEEE, I only took the elements that allow me do drama and theres more ofc).

Shout out to Strabo's mom bc she do suffer a FUCKING lot.

[alaskan-wallflower]

light hearted story time because u thought this was funny but when i was waking up my mom was with me and was actually being really sweet (albeit a liiiiittle embarrassing just evacsue she was trying to tickle me for some reason and do stuff that she used to do when i was a baby but anyway-she was trying to get me to talk a bit and i don’t know how it came up but we were talking about zootopia and she asked what the bully fox (gideon gray)‘a name was and i kept trying to say gray but she kept mishearing me say grant. so we get in the car and i don’t know what’s going through my head but she put on the outsiders musical while we drove home and i was still loopy as hell and was saying things i would never say without anesthetics (nothing inappropriate!! i just don’t open up to her much) and we were listening to runs in the family and i was like “oh it’s dad’s friend!” and she was so confused until she saw brent’s name and she was like “oh yeah”-so anyway, i got a fucking lore drop because i was trying to say “that’s brody” when we were listening to great expectations but i could NOT remember his name for a minute so i was just like “like jaws! it’s like jaws, it’s like my friend’s dog” and she was like “ohhh is his name brody” and i was like “yes” only to find out i have a fucking long lost cousin named brody. wtf. she was like “yeah he’s your cousin on my side” but apparently he was deleted from the family or some shit because i’ve never heard of long lost cousin brody.

but also my synesthesia went nuts. brody’s voice was very vibrant. red and blue and silver UGH…chefs kiss. also sky’s voice is violet and indigo and black and it was so pretty. i don’t know why but the anesthesia made it more vibrant.

anyway. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[dollkichi]

HELL YEAH I CAN!! There are at least 3 or 4 MC (or at least in their own stories) Danganronpa OCs I have! Mainly for V3 cause its my favorite -w-

Roselyn Monet (Sandasu)

Ultimate Actress or Ultimate Pediatrician it depends honestly..-

Black and French, moved to Japan for business

One of the Chpt. 3 victims (found in the infirmary) (I made one appear out of thin air I'm so talented/silly)

Shes shy and jumpy, very Mikan coded pre and post-game, but in-game she's a bitch/aff!!! She's very cold and distances herself from people but if you persist enough she miight open up~ (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Had two ships with two guys I've selfshipped with- Stage Play (Kokichi x Rose), Detective's Script/Black Rose (Shuichi x Rose) I end up using the former for videos more, but I do have quite a lot of Stage Play ones!! >w<

She actually is a part of a longgg story on her own!!

And I couldn't mention Rose without mentioning another part of her story!

Hayase Miya (Sandasu)

Lil' Ultimate Seamstress

Youngest (Has two older siblings who are twins!!)

Ultra Despair Girls!!!! Would have been a part of the WOH but I scrapped it!!

7 (But 8 now!!! Her birthday is on July 20th!!!)

While her biological family is (somewhat) alive, her adoptive ones are dead ( • ᴖ • ｡)

Her adoptive parents died at her brother's hands, and she killed him out of fear and self defense technically-?

Traumatized little girl with a specialty handling needles, she's very shy and proper!!

Rose's cousin, i guess???

She miiight get adopted <3

This one isn't well known unfortunately!!!! But I still love her!!!

Sukoshi Shizukana

Ultimate Social Outcast

Specifically pops up Post-V3!!! She knows nothing and is only thrown into the loop because she's married to one of the participants tbh

Me and my platonic wife usually roleplay her and (her) Post-game Kokichi!! The married couple ever pt 1 because he loves her and she's kinda like "wtf??!?!?/pos"

They also have two sons!! Akihiko and one I haven't named yet (っ- ‸ - ς)

She's gone through...a lot.

Recovering Alcoholic and drug addict because she wants to get better for her son (her parents weren't great before they died

She's a very scared yet sweet girl underneath her rude and passive aggressive front, her talent pushes people away

She has two D.I.C.E members who are parental figures to her because she deserves it!!!! Give her good role models!!!!

And THIS is perhaps my most well-known and beloved DR OC!!!!

Ai Kegareta

Ultimate Succubus, and is a literal Succubus!!!<33

Her past, In-game and Post-game was not kind to her

Princess of the Lust Ring in hell, and the youngest of 16!!! (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧

She's Kaede's half sister, but they look so alike the only things telling them apart is Ai's demonic features and her natural pink-blonde hair (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

She's a very innocent and bubbly girl!! She makes friends with everyone (or at least tries to) and believes there's good in even the worst people!!

She had a very sweet mom before she died, and was left with a shitty stepmom who hated her and abused her (¬⤙¬ ) After killing her mom since they were twins!!! (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭

She's British this isn't important just though to drop it /silly

Ai is very shippable (my mootie and one of the lomls even selfships with her!!) But AiOuma has burrowed itself deep into my brain and nested there I cannot escape it because they're so. Fucking. Cute. But also really angsty I have way less AiOuma videos for how much this ship circles in my brain

GONTA AND AI ARE BESTIES!!

Rantaro was also her first crush~ ♡

Ai's worst fears are losing loved ones and being replaced in any manner. So you can imagine how bad it was losing Rantaro, Kaede, Kokichi and Gonta was and having to live up to be like Kaede or up to her image (╥‸╥) Being mistaken for her sometimes also stings, she was part of the cast, yes, but she also felt like Kaede overshadowed her in a way, but never resented her for it outwardly, at least...

She's the light in any room, but the darkest shadow in her own mind.

AND THATS ALL!!!<33 Fun fact, I was listening to Kokichi x Listener ASMRs in the middle of my teacher yelling at us because Angel doesn't care about a whiny adult~ (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

– 🩷🎮

THIS WAS A DELIGHTFUL READ!! Their talents are all pretty unique. I don’t think I’ve seen an ultimate pediatrician, social outcast, or succubus before. I wonder what your post game is like, definitely sounds intriguing.

What does being either the ultimate actress or ultimate pediatrician depend on? Did you just like both talents or is there another reason? Was she originally one or the other before you thought of another talent you liked? ALSO NOO RIP TO HER… making stuff appear out of thin air for ocs though is so real. Also, videos? It’s always so cool to see people creating stuff with their ocs :0

UDG OC LETS GOOO ‼️ The lil ultimate oc was such a surprise, but a good one. Poor thing, I hope she does get adopted. If no one adopts her, then I will!! (/silly)

She’s been through so much omg :(

I haven’t seen many lil ultimate ocs… probably only like three total if I count yours. People should make more lil ultimate ocs.

How did Sukoshi get the talent ultimate social outcast? Why does she only pop up Post V3?

Super curious to see how hell and demons would work in the Danganronpa universe if you ever wanna talk about that. It’s interesting how Ai is so innocent when she literally comes from hell. She’s see the worst of the worst there and yet she still thinks like that? Perhaps it’s because she’s from there that she does because she’s able to see the worst do good. I am all for the Gonta and Ai besties, Gonta deserves a friend‼️

Giggling, how did you not get in trouble for that?? Also, considering how many times that he’s been brought up in this ask, you seem to really like Kokichi. Is he one of your favorite characters?

[cross-armageddon]

I got too silly (again)

Before I say anything though, I must add something offtopic - this will not be a daily thing

I've uploaded the PJO AU sorta daily until now, because I had thoughts already - the rest of the characters' powers will require more thinking on my part. Also, I'm going to London for a few days soon, which means I won't have access to my tablet.

I MIGHT make an update for Prima Vista though, so when you're lacking in content from me, just head to AO3 to catch up with my prsk OCs

You can also send me asks with ideas for the PJO AU or questions to both the AU and Prima Vista during my vacations (Wednesday till Sunday) and I will reply to all of them as soon as I will have a break from sightseeing and have wifi (I'm silly like that).

Well then.

Leo/need (1/2)

(if you're disappointed it's not niigo or vbs, im disappointed in myself too)

The Honami Hephaestus is honestly a really cool idea in general, I'm very confident it fits her the most.

You wouldn't expect her to be a fire wielder after how Leo was in the series, but yet - that's exactly what she is to me. She has way more control over it, as she has to focus really hard and be extremely calm to get a spark, so exactly the opposite of Leo, that can straight up blow up if he gets too angry or excited.

As a Hephaestus daughter, she's naturally good with electronics and machinery. Everyone just kinda assumed she learned how everything worked while homekeeping, but in reality she doesn't actually know any theoretical stuff. She just moves something or hits it and the thing is fixed.

Also, I'm spreading Honami buff agenda. Her training at the camp gave her some muscles and yeah

yeah

Usually it's not noticeable, so people get shocked if she doesn't cover her arms or stomach, because "wtf where the fuck did she get those??"

Also, I feel like Honami would become a huntress of Artemis. Whether or not the rest of Leo/need would follow her is purely up to interpretation. On one hand I feel like they would, but then again - Saki would get extremely close to pararelling with Thalia and. I d

I don't think Tsukasa wants to follow Jason's footsteps actually.

On another note

Why is Ichika unclaimed?

I could make so many fucking excuses as to why she's unclaimed, but I will actually stay silent about it. Yall can give ideas and your reasoning for certain godparents tho 👀

hmu in my askbox

Anyways, since Ichika is unclaimed, she sometimes gets some weird looks and is a part of the "weirdos" from her Cohort.

(You WILL get dragged into my OC content, because I cannot shut up about them)

Ichika is a demigod, she has the same ADHD and dyslexia and she can see monsters. It's just that she doesn't know what potential she has, since she doesn't have a godparent. Her story is about finding out which god will claim her and what will make her godparent proud of her.

(Ichika is Kaii's older cousin in the Prima Vista canon, Kaii's mom is one of her parents' older sister. Which one? I dunno, the one that looks more like Ichika.)

Because Ichika doesn't know her powers, she spends a lot of time fighting, because what else could she focus on?

I must admit, her weapon idea is so fucking badass tho.

Percy had a pen that could transform into his sword and Ichika has something similar, but I kind of went crazy with it

The hook snaps very easily off her neck and after it snaps, the guitar pick transforms into her longsword. The handle on said longsword has the hook and loop still in tact, for whenever she doesn't need it anymore - it goes back to being a normal guitar pick necklace and she can wear it without unhooking it.

She plays the guitar with it too and finds no issues with it, actually amazing weapon, I'm very in love with that design.

Awawawa that's all I had for now, I'm going to have to actually start thinking of more powers now oh no

I might have to research the gods (aka refresh my memory from 7 years ago) again for inspiration and hope for the best.

Also, I think I should've done it earlier, but this is the list that like, 5 people maybe, worked on

If you see anything you like and any ideas for their powers, yeah go ahead and hit up the askbox 👀

I'm very interested to keep this AU semi-open - I allow people to engage in it! If you wish to make your own content with my ideas or add something of your own too, you can! If you're still unsure about things, you can also ask for my permission (if that makes you feel better).

talking about my sex life and bad things that happened to me as a child use discretion

it's always been troubling to me that although I know for a fact I was touched as a child (my mom had proof), I didn't have any clear memories? it affected me in a multitude of ways (acting out sexually as a child, body issues, wtf ever), but all memories were extremely hazy, and I know that's common, but because of the ways it affected me sexually it always felt unfair that I couldn't even remember it clearly. not that I want to, I mean who wants to remember, but it's something that happened to me and I deserve to know.

well, not too long ago, I was having sex and the other party asked if I'd want to use a blindfold. pretty tame, I've done way harder stuff, figured it would be fun. as soon as that blindfold went on and the sex continued I got a wave of nausea and immediately started to panic. like the sex ended and I had to go outside and smoke, I couldn't stop shaking. and it made me remember a time when I was a kid, around 5, when the stuff was happening to me. I remember I was hanging out with a younger cousin, and he asked me what I wanted to play. he had a bucket, like a sand bucket, and I put it on my head and told him "now I can't see and I'll do anything you want me to do". now we ended up playing monster trucks he wasn't rocking with my game, but that memory came back so vividly in my head after what happened. I think I don't remember things clearly, despite my photographic memory at that age, because they were blindfolding me. or otherwise making it to where I couldn't see. and I mean, understanding what went down was something I wanted, but I dont think I needed it. my nightmares have gotten worse and my relationship with sex has gotten worse too. I feel sick rn. like. I don't know. anyways. who cares. my aunt is still out there, I could literally message her on Instagram. idk if she did anything or not because I couldn't fucking see, but she at least knew her girlfriend was doing it and she encouraged it. I know she did it too. whatever. and the other bitch died so who cares

[hellsbellschime]

So I know mentioned that I have weirdly bad luck a few days ago, and although this happened on Sunday and I just didn't have the energy to chronicle it until now, it is such a hilariously on-point example that I'm a Murphy's law magnet that I can't not share.

So, I went to Las Vegas with my cousin last week and generally had a good time, aside from the fact that I'm pretty sure I broke a bone in my foot and/or toe the day he arrived in California to hang before we left, which obviously made traveling in general or doing a lot of fun shit way more difficult (and I'm finally going to go see a doctor about it tomorrow or Thursday so fingers crossed they don't tell me anything terrible).

Sunday was the day I left, and because I have a Priority Pass I left the hotel at like 4:30am so I could go grab a free breakfast at the airport lounge before I go. I get there, do this automated ordering thing, get a confirmation number and everything, and it says that it should be ready in 15 minutes or less. Because I'm dumb and don't recall that everything that can go wrong for me will go wrong, I don't note when I made the order, and eventually realize it has been 30 minutes at least and it's basically time for me to go. I track down an employee and ask WTF, and they're like oh yeah we got no order and we can't give you anything to go, sorry. Which already had me annoyed, but whatever, it's a flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, it's 7am and it'd be bizarre if I wasn't home by 10am.

So I get on the plane, fly home, everything seems to be fine. I arrive, text my mom that I've landed, go down and collect my luggage, and wait. And wait. And wait and wait. Eventually calling her like 10 times during that hour to see what the eff is going on.

After waiting in the terminal for about an hour, I decide to go start looking for her, as I'm guessing she must have forgotten her phone, and to be fair, I did tell her that it would be one of two terminals that I would land in. So I walk to the other terminal, no dice. I know she'll be driving my new EV, so I think hey, maybe I should check out the EV parking areas to see if she's even here. I do that, no dice. I do a few laps in the airport again, still no luck. All of this on an injured effing foot mind you.

By the time I have gone through all this rigmarole, it has legitimately killed another hour of waiting (LAX is fucking huge if you didn't know). At this point I am legitimately starting to get concerned, and I think hey, my car is brand new and all tech-equipped, maybe I can do something with that and at least see if the car is parked at my house, at the airport, or en route somewhere else.

So although I hadn't signed up for the service yet because my car is legit brand new, I text OnStar to see if there is any assistance they can give me. They eventually tell me to get on a call and I do, and because I haven't actually signed up for anything they ask me a series of questions to figure out how they can track down my shit. They ultimately ask me for my VIN which I surprisingly do have because I at least signed up for the Chevy app on my phone, and they're like oh this VIN (on my brand new car that has been owned by no one else mind you) has a registered OnStar account to some guy name Frank who I've never heard of in my life. I'm like okay, maybe the zero in my VIN number is actually an O, so they try that and are like nope there's nothing here it's definitely the Frank account or whatnot, but we can't help you either way.

But thankfully, they at least offer to transfer me to someone who works at Chevy to see if they can do something about it as well. They ping me over to them and we essentially go through the exact same process again, down to them telling me that some dude named Frank has an account under my VIN and that ultimately there is nothing that they can do. They're basically like, eh, call the cops or you're SOL.

At this point another hour plus has gone by and my concern and frustration is through the roof, and I'm basically like well I could call the cops, but if I know my mom, she's just blowing me off or screwed something up rather than it being an emergency. So I decide that I should find a way home by myself, and I better figure it out fast because my phone battery is now at like 20%. Lyft, Uber, and cabs were too much, but there is an express bus from LAX to Union Station that runs often and it's sorta in the direction of my house, so I download that app, buy a one way ticket, and wait for the bus to show up.

In case it wasn't obvious, I have also been incessantly calling my mom this entire time, but once I have bought my ticket and am waiting, despite the fact that I have called 30+ times to no avail and I landed at 8 and it is now 10 to noon, she FINALLY picks up the phone, very clearly just waking up from sleep. Unsurprisingly I am a tsunami of rage and basically say okay cool, glad you're okay, already figured out how to get home, gotta go, don't want to deal with your shit at the moment.

So I take the bus to Union Station and then take the metro rail toward my house (which sidenote, 10/10 recommend LA metro rail, even if the train isn't the cleanest holy shit the views were actually spectacular, it was super fast, and I legit regretted never having taken the train in the city before then). The station in my town is like 2 miles from my house, I ask my mom to pick me up, she says yes, and once again I'm sitting outside at 1pm in 100+ degree heat, waiting with very little shade. After waiting for like 20 minutes I'm like hey, do I want to sit here waiting forever again or should I start walking? So I start walking home with luggage in tow, and tell her that I'm starting to walk home so if she finds me she finds me and if not I'll be there when I get there.

I, no joke, make it 1.6 out of the 2 miles before she actually arrives. I tell her to GTFO of the driver's seat so I can drive home and immediately start charging my now nearly-dead phone, I hop in, and immediately see that the battery gauge on the car is flashing on "low" and the battery is low enough that it is minimizing the actual propulsion of the car. Thankfully we are right next to the DC fast charging stations near my house, so I immediately turn into the parking lot. Not so thankfully but entirely as usual, there are three cars in line waiting before me. I tell my mom to once again GTFO and go into the nearby mall so I can wait, and because the battery is so low, I lower all of the windows and turn the car off, once again waiting in 100+ degree heat.

It takes 20-25 minutes for me to get to the front of the line, and because Electrify America charging stations are garbage, I get the actual charger to connect to my car but the card reader is not working. I call EA assistance to pay on my almost dead phone, and as I am giving her my card info, the call starts breaking up hardcore. It disconnects, but thankfully the agent calls me back and finishes the transaction so the car can start charging the battery that now literally has 3% power and I can also start charging my phone.

At this point I am so hot and sweaty that my hair is literally wet, and I'm like A. I'm dying and B. I actually probably need to rehydrate for my own safety, so I go into the mall and get a large Honeydew smoothie and large watermelon slush to bring myself back to life. I go back to the car because at this point I am beyond exhausted, my foot is killing, and I am dying to go home because I have been up since 4:30am and expected to be home 7 hours earlier, so once the car is just half charged I finally bail.

I go home, pass tf out, and wake up a few hours later with sunburns on both of my forearms.

So, if you were ever wondering what I meant when I said that I have genuinely weirdly, bizarrely bad luck, now you know.

Humble brag time

I am so fucking lucky to have the amazing kid I have. I know a lot of it is the hard work my husband and I have put in to parenting since Day One, but also, he’s just…..cool. And so smart. Like, he’s six years old, the youngest kid in his first grade class by a long shot, and yesterday he was doing multiplication in his head. I think the one we gave him was like, 9x12 and he sat for a second and then goes “…..108? Yeah, 108.” For context, this is what the math learning target for the rest of his class is:

Like???? His classmates are still grouping numbers together to learn how to write 17, and this morning he was complaining because he’s tired of multiplication and wants to start learning fractions and decimals. So our breakfast looked like this, as I showed him that division is just multiplication in reverse and all the different ways you can write one quarter:

I had to message his teacher and be like “can you maybe give him some different math than the rest of the class? He’s already done with multiplication” and fortunately she’s an awesome teacher and lets the more advanced students work ahead of the rest of the class, so she promised to get him some second grade math worksheets.

I’m just so amazed sometimes by him. The other night my husband was like “How does it feel to be raising a kid that only inherited the best qualities of either of us and none of the bad ones?” And honestly? It’s fun. I see how I probably was before the world beat me down, and I want to do whatever I can to keep fostering the way he is. It helps me get back in touch with the whimsy I felt as a kid, and it helps me realize there is a place for softness and silliness in the world. Watching his hunger for learning reminds me that it’s a privilege to have access to education and that maybe I should remember that and stop being so stubborn when I’m trying to self-teach myself something and maybe just ask for help from someone who knows wtf they’re doing.

He loves school so much that when we’re on break, he makes us bike to his school and he’ll stand at the gate just staring at his campus. I love seeing his exuberance, I love seeing how proud he is when he learns new things. I love his motivation and drive and his commitment to things and his consideration for others. This past weekend we were out shopping for records and he got to choose between three different ones: Taylor Swift (whom he adores), Imagine Dragons (another fav), and the og Lion King soundtrack that his cousin loves. He kept going back to the Lion King because he knew his cousin would love it and want to listen to it whenever he came over. He was torn, and eventually decided on his beloved T. Swift, but the fact that he agonized for so long and was willing to give up his purchase for someone else’s enjoyment…..I just fucking love the little dude so much.

I don’t know….I don’t brag about him a lot because a lot of the mom friends I have struggle with getting their kids to go to school, to want to learn, to behave reasonably well, to consider others, and I don’t want to be the asshole mom who’s like “oh *I* don’t have to deal with ANY of THAT. MY little angel is PERFECT, have you tried not sucking at being a mom?” I mean, I would never say that but I feel like any bragging comes off that way, you know? It just always feels like rubbing my good fortune in others faces and that’s just rude. But sometimes I need to let it out because I just am bursting with pride for him.

Not to say he can’t be a little turd sometimes, but even when he is, it’s completely understandable; he’s six. He may act like a mature adult most of the time but he is SIX, and every now and then a six year old has to record fart sounds on their drum kit and then play it on repeat for an hour, cackling like a loon and shouting “POOOOOP!!”

i got my christmas present early cause we’re gonna be travelling on christmas day itself

but

the story starts back in november. my cousin had come to india, and my mom and i took him to hamleys to let him buy whatever he wanted, and there i found these

and i desperately wanted the mclaren lego. but it’s 5k rupees. for clarity, 5k is enough for one tank of fuel in my car. 5k will get me 33.33 packets of buldak ramen. 5k will get me 100 kinder joys/kinder eggs.

so, basically, it’s expensive as fuck.

obviously, i showed it to my mom, we discussed the price, and i decided to be an adult (cause i am) and we didn’t buy it. no one’s got that much money to spend.

but i decided that when im rich, im gonna buy those and im gonna make them and keep them in my house as display.

i also saved them on my amazon account, cause like, just in case.

now, fast forward to two days ago when i got this. i had forgotten all about the lego, did a full out of sight, out of mind thing.

two days ago, there was a package that was delivered, and i gave the one time pin to the delivery dude and everything.

BUT THEN

the delivery guy started opening the cardboard box right in front of me and i was like, wtf are you doing??? and he said that it was an “open delivery”

after he’d opened the cardboard box, i saw that it was the gift and i called up my mom and i was like, ???huh???excuse me what???

AND THEN the delivery dude opened the lego box in front of me too, cause he was required to take pictures of the inside material as well.

utter bullshit, imo

but anyways, my mom wrapped it up later and we didn’t speak about it.

today morning, she decided to give it to me cause she didn’t wanna wait till after the trip. so, i got it, i jumped around in happiness, and made the whole thing right then

these are the pictures

YURRRRRRRR LETS GOOOOOOO

bro the way i wouldve freaked out when the delivery man started opening the package up AND THEN thr actual box as well?!?!?!!?

im guessing he ruined the surprise coz wtf is an open delivery anyways 😒😒

BUT IM SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU OMGGGG!!! IT LOOKS PHENOMENAL, STUPENDOUS, FANSTASTIC, AMAZING, TRANSCENDENT 🤩🤩🤩🤩

i would keep it in a glass box with a security code and put it somewhere in my room where i can show it off, but it's still untouchable to the prying, wandering fingers of the baby cousins 😰

[yappingmoxie]

I’ve noticed I’ve started apologizing a lot more again for silly things that don’t really need an apology in the first place and idk. Idk why that’s starting back up again bc I rlly thought I’d moved on from that. Like when I was 18 and had just moved in with my partner at the time bc of a lot of complicated things I remember I knocked over their red bull they’d JUST opened and I started crying and apologizing so much and it took them being like “hey wtf? it’s just a drink. not a big deal I’ll clean it up” for me to start realizing how fucked up I was lol. Like I already knew how I grew up wasn’t okay but like idk. I just kinda thought it was slightly more shitty than just shitty and it took me a while to call it abuse. Because even then I was still wanting to defend my mom about like. Everything really. Idk. I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately. And I miss her even tho she was absolutely awful to me lmao. But yeah. Idk. Maybe that has something to do with the whole over apologizing thing idk. The last time I saw her or even spoke to her was when we got in a fight because she was lying and saying when I “moved out” (she kicked me out) I took myself off her insurance when I literally would never do that lmao. Like I have a serious condition with my back that needs me to get MRIs every year to make sure I don’t literally become a quadriplegic lmfaooo. And she knew that but took me off her insurance anyways when I wouldn’t move back in with her to take care of her like she wanted. Like I would have never taken myself off her insurance knowing I couldn’t (and still can’t) afford my own. I haven’t had anyyy medical treatment for my back since before 2017 because of her. So idk why she lied about that other than because she knows it was a shitty thing to do to her daughter who has literally cleaned actual shit off of her multiple times because she was too high to walk to the bathroom herself lmfao. Idk. I could get into that a whole lot more and all the absolute batshit insane things I had to deal with growing up with her but idk if it’d be good or bad for me considering I feel myself backsliding in a lot of ways already. Like idk. I still have actual nightmares from when my sister moved out and she tried to kill herself in bed next to me lmfao. I know she said she “didn’t mean to” put a second morphine patch on but I quite literally found her suicide note when I couldn’t wake her up the next morning. Like I was literally laying right next her when she was crying and writing it all out (without ever mentioning me btw but I guess that’s just petty to bring up esp considering she threw it away when she left the hospital and swore she never wrote it lmfao. but I remember it so). She would have literally died if I’d listened to my cousins mom about how “she was fine just real tired” and didn’t call my grandma and then 911. I’d seen it before lmfao. In 6th grade. When I didn’t listen to my gut that something was wrong and her boyfriend died because of that. Like yeah he was a fucking asshole but still like. Idk 11/12 was hard to see my mom having to give him CPR when he was literally already turning colors. I remember mom making me check his breathing before we went to sleep and idk. That’s something that sticks with you so I knew everything wasn’t okay. I knew the difference between just being high off her ass and hard to wake up vs literally overdosing and unable to be conscious. Lmao idek how I got on this topic when I was just ranting about regressing before but whatever. Here I am lmao. I probably should actually talk about it more instead of whatever this was bc clearly it’s on my mind but I digress idk

Why do parents have to be hypocrites.

They keep asking whether I want a medical course and then when I say I could do any career- they get so angry that I just carelessly pick a career in the future and they say bunch of things about how I should want the career I would be WHICH I 100% AGREE IF NOT FOR THE FACT I ALREADY TOLD THEM MULTIPLE TIMES I WANT TO BE A PROGRAMMER .

Why can't they just say it straight to my face they want me to be a Doctor I WOULDN'T MIND BUT why the hypocrisy.

My mother would ban us from going out when we were kids and then complain why we weren't going out LIKE WTF. Like you would complain to your friends how your children are such lazy bums but then when we ask for permission to go out with our friends you say No because We would waste money and why would we when we can just spend time at home

Then THEN they blame the fucking Doctor saying they won't give me a check up – I DON'T KNOW MAYBE ITS WITH THE FACT WE HAVEN'T EVEN WENT TO A HOSPITAL SINCE LAST YEAR . IM PRACTICALLY BLIND I AM IN NEED OF NEW GLASSES –and I still need to have my brain checked or whatever because of seizures –

Then just this morning my mother scolded my sister for working out saying she is not the "sporty gal" WELL HOW WOULD SHE WHEN YOU WON'T EVEN GIVE HER A CHANCE.

And then Dad keeps talking about wanting a good life and all BUT HE KEEPS REJECTING THE SCHOLARSHIP IN ANOTHER COUNTRY SAYING THEY ARE UNTRUSTWORTY When – the one offering is a relative of us who wants to help because they knew people.

The most thing I hate is when mom would talk about our successful cousin like WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO IM LIKE 16 and MY COUSIN IS LIKE 30-ish WITH KIDS NO WONDER SHE IS SO SUCCESFULL

ALSO Its not my fault that I didnt get tutors to study an instrument I mean I DONT EVEN HAVE AN INSTRUMENT YET YOU WANT ME TO PLAY ONE HOW??

Just I love them but can they stop saying the opposite of what they feel and what THEY WANT US TO DO

[oflgtfol]

75% of my passion for getting a PhD and becoming a real professional astronomer is like, actual passion and love for the field. but i’d be lying if i said that remaining 25% isn’t pure spite

Gale Reviews: ML Season 5 episode 18 Emotion

-Marinette saying her underling's name was Chloé which is funny to me. Girl shot her insult

-Felix trying to make a better world with no masters or slaves.

-Tell me youre a sentimonster, without saying you are a sentimonster

-Felix really thought this out. So bascially saying he will thanos the world.

-Ladybug looking for a solution with... NOTHING?!

-Oh.... I get it hehehe

-Ladybug called his bluff.

-Yo... empty paris. Dark

-KAGAMI!

-Wait... Adrien? Did he ... oh he made the sentimonster earlier and snapped adrien first! thats how... OMG

-So he made the moon earlier in a ring. And they did all this to save adrien

-He planned this for weeks. DAMN so he hid it in the fake ring. Smart

-Its kind of funny that Kagami is just swinging at him like crazy, and Felix has been acting like a little kid thinking he did good. I feel kind of sad man

-You can be happy without your father adrien. But everything else you said is true

-Felix realizes he done goofed. Its sad he went from evil to adorable. Baby boy.

-Marinette's plan worked. Because Felix wasnt a true villain. Nice

-So Polygami coming back anyone? BRING ON THE THRUPPLE! -"My friend... My sister." Yea Felix is 100% a sentimonster

-Yo... can i give Felix a hug. He needs a hug

-Oh so now you can make ice cream for the 3 of them. Sure Andre. You bastard

-The ring... Gabriel... you son of a ....

-And apparently Lila knows he's monarch apparently?!

_____________________________________________________________

So I am missing a LOT of what happened. Thankfully it seems like i can piece together a few things.

Adrien, Kagami and Felix are like 99% likely to be Sentimonsters.

Yep... so thats a thing

I think I will rate this a 8/10.

I may not like all the revelations that happened. But Felix stole the show and I loved every scene he was in.
