.

on my way home from work, my dad texted me that he drove himself to the emergency room because he's had chest pains and headaches for about a week now. he has a history of heart problems, so we try not to take chances. he's 73.

i'm just feeling a little anxious and worried about everything. i'm also upset he didn't say anything until now about it. he should have told me right away. but theres nothing that can be done now.

i asked him if he wanted me to come ( the hospital is over an hr away ), and he said not until he knows more details about what's going on. so. i'm here, but i'm not in any kind of headspace to write. --i think i'm going to just try to relax tonight and take it easy. but, if he does get admitted, there will definitely be a drop in my activity here. just a small heads up.

i'll be on discord if anyone needs me. thanks for taking the time to read this, when i find out more information, i'll be sure to post an update on what's going on.

MOVIE MEMES: “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971) 🍬🍫🤸🏽‍♂️ ↳ Please feel free to tweak them etc.

Themes: fantasy, quirkiness, chocolate, sweets/candy,, whimsy, poetry (some lines are actually from poems quoted by the movie)

“A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men.” “What would a computer do with a lifetime's supply of chocolate?” “Oh, you should never, never, doubt what nobody is sure about.” “She was a bad egg.” “If the good lord intended us to walk, he never would’ve invented roller skates.” “The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last.” “Stop. Don't. Come back.” “There’s no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going.” “I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do with a lifetime's supply of chocolate.” “It happens every time, they all become blueberries.” “Impossible, my dear lady! That’s absurd! Unthinkable!” “Time is a precious thing. Never waste it.” “Why? Are you having fun?” “So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.” “We are the music makers; we are the dreamers of dreams.” “Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a'blowing?” “Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.” “Don't just stand there, do something!” “Gives it a little kick.” “You're an inhuman monster!” “You will live in happiness too.” “All I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by. All aboard, everybody.” “The danger must be growing.” “Can it, you nit!” “I think I can safely say your time and money have been well spent.” “Up the airy mountain, across the rushy glen, de daren't go a-hunting, for fear of little men” (as in the little/wee folk/fairies) “They have a good sporting chance, haven't they?” “There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.” “You're a crook. You're a cheat and a swindler! That's what you are!” “Little surprises around every corner, but nothing dangerous.” “I'll get you one before the day is out.” “I won't tell, that would be cheating.” “I know how anxious you've all been these last few days...” “Delighted to meet you, sir. Overjoyed, enraptured, entranced.” “Spitting's a dirty habit.” “I think it's the most wonderful place in the whole world!” “So shines a good deed in a weary world.” “You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!” “Goodbye, [name]. Adieu. Aufwiedersehen. Gesundheit. Farewell..” “It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal!” “No, no, don't speak. For some moments in life, there are no words.” “The strawberries taste like strawberries.” “We're about to witness the greatest miracle of the machine age.” “Now, don't get excited. Don't lose your head, [name]. We don't want anybody to lose that.” “They won't really be burned in the furnace, will they?” “I’m sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing.” “Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.” “If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.” “What is this, [name]? Some kind of funhouse?” “He can't swim.” “Want to change the world? There’s nothing to it.”

Ok I can comfortably say that I truly support Joe Locke being Billy Caplan/Wiccan in the MCU ☺️

But I swear to God if Disney pulls another Ralph Boner...

Let's just say candy is dandy but liquor burns quicker.

Candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker.

[ofgravitation-moved]

so. oh my gosh. i had one of the most stressful days i’ve ever had in a workplace, today. i didn’t even eat lunch because of how busy it was & everything that took place. then! someone hacked my gmail account and then got access to my cell phone account and tried to order the newest ipad pro. i was in tears at work, overwhelmed, and upset-- but i pushed through. 

i’m okay now. hubby took a personal day and bought me “bad day” gifts. so i am currently pulling a ‘yor’: i have a whole bottle of wine next to me and won $20 on a scratch off. he meant to buy chocolate too, but instead he stayed home from work. so imma disassociate, spend time with him, and watch survivor tonight bc --- i’ve had a literal week, in one day 

but ily all so very much<3 thank you for all the sweet comments on that heart post. it made things a little bit brighter, i appreciate all of you so much.

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.

69 and Jim for the music event because i mean cmon

E.V.O.L ⸸ Father Jim DeFroque x Reader

TW: dub-con. drugs. alcohol. reader was an adult when losing their virginity.

i. pink lipstick stains, cigarette butts i lie in bed, i hate my guts

It was a simple fucking pattern.

You saw him, you made it clear you despised him.

You got wasted together and ended up fucking in a motel room or in the backseat of his car. Front seat, sometimes, if you were drunk enough.

And then you woke up the next day, most of the time in a bed, either in the motel or sometimes in your own bedroom, if he was feeling nice. You'd smoke a cigarette, just staring at the ceiling and being mad at yourself, swearing to cut this off and never see him again.

Even though deep down, as you took the cash he left you each time, you knew.

You knew the damn pattern would repeat.

ii. candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker every kiss you give me, it makes me sicker

You could never decide how you felt about Jim DeFroque.

On one hand, he was supposed to be a priest. A man of God.

On the other hand, you saw him getting high very night and then mixing it with alcohol and fucking someone. Surprisingly, that someone was often you.

An ex-believer. You remembered seeing him in church a few years ago, when you were younger and still thought God existed. And when you were stupid enough to believe that him taking your virginity was God's will. When you were stupid enough to get addicted to his touch.

You ended up joining him on his nightly escapades. You gained new addictions, you fucked new people.

You both loved and hated it. You loved how it felt to have him rail you again. You hated how you'd feel afterwards, realizing you ended up falling into his arms, like every time before.

But you knew the damn pattern would repeat.

iii. it only takes two lonely people to fuck love up and make it evil it only takes a drop of evil to fuck up two beautiful people

There was a time in your life where you questioned that maybe you did love Jim DeFroque. And deep down you knew you did. Deep down you knew you fell for that damn priest's charm years ago.

And he knew that he fell for you. Your sweet lips and welcoming body, always so willing to let him rail you, no matter what. So precious... There was no doubt in his mind that he cherished you, but not in the sweet way described in poems or love songs. It was mostly raw lust with some fondness.

And you were both okay with that, in some way.

You were both okay with how unhealthy your relationship was. Maybe that was what made it so special. Maybe that unhealthiness was what kept pulling you in.

At the end of the day, it probably didn't matter.

Because you knew the damn pattern would repeat.

Did Michael Cole just say "Candy is dandy, liquor is quicker"?

[tellmeallaboutit]

Here are a few songs that remind me of Judith and Raph:

E.vo.l by marina and the diamonds

'Love me dead' and 'the horror of our love' by ludo

(I'm OctaviaMadness on a03 btw)

CHRIST ALLMIGHTY

"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker Every kiss you give me, it makes me sicker"

The other two are amazing too. Damn, I love these "these songs remind me of..." section. Thank you so much (and for your lovely comments).
