Fantastic as always ! I searched and went out with that people with less focus abillty have atypical activity in the frontal lobe, it's the part of the brain that regulates attention

Two days and i'm done with scho(hell)ol !

If it suits you could you write a platonic Hawks with a reader feeling sad dou their low abilty to focus, +the indistinguashability (sometimes it feels like being surrounded with monsters)

Comfort angst advice anything as long as it's Hawks showring a kid he randomly picked from the street studen with love, thanks !

Focus, Dove - Hawks

A/N: OMG HI RON!!!! It’s been a while, how have you been?! I’ve missed you so much!!! <3 I hope this turned out ok. It kind of reminded me of the fic I wrote, I think I called it ‘Forgetting Something’ where Y/N forgets about their boiling water for several hours and then beats themselves up over it. As usual, Y/N is basically Hawks’ non biological child in this, much like all my other platonic Hawks fics.

I’ve also learned that my vision is bad enough to where I still read what I write but I cannot tell commas from periods anymore without my glasses but I have no idea where they are right now and have no will to go find them, so if there are errors I apologize lol

Cold rain battered against the window, somehow adding to the weight of your day. With every raindrop that hit the window it felt as though it was adding to the pressure you felt on your shoulders. You weren’t quite sure why you were feeling this way. You hadn’t been doing much. Maybe that's why you were upset. You simply couldn’t get anything done. You didn’t have patrol today but went into the agency to try and work on reports, yet when you arrived you had a hard time paying attention.

At first the lights were too bright. Then the leather of your office chair didn’t feel right against your clothes so you picked up your things and moved to Hawks’ office. He was out on patrol so you had the room to yourself. When you sat down to finish your small pile of reports you were immediately distracted by the way Hawks’ chair tilted to the side. You spent the next 5 minutes tilting the chair from one side to the other. Then you shook your head and picked up your pen to get to work. Not much time had passed before you began taking apart your pen and then putting it back together. You scowlded yourself for losing focus yet again. Deciding today wasn’t the day, you returned the papers to your office and headed home.

It was almost noon when you got home so you tried to make yourself pasta for lunch. Setting the pot of water on the stove, you turned the setting all the way up to high. Then you decided to get some laundry done while you waited. You gathered the laundry from your bathroom and from Hawks’, starting to separate them by color or material. Dragging the several-baskets worth of laundry to the laundry room, you started a load of Hawks’ hero uniforms.

You began making your way to the living room when you saw the pot of water on the stove out of the corner of your eye. Spooking yourself, you run into the kitchen, staring at the pot. What were you making again? You remembered drinking the last of your favorite tea that morning so you dug out tea bags and added them to the pot. You turned the setting down a bit and walked away.

Finally making back to the living room, you plopped down onto the couch with a sigh. Today was not a very good mental day. Good thing you didn’t have to patrol. You were sure you’d lose concentration quickly if you did.

You sat in silence for a moment, thinking of things you should get done. You thought through your school schedule, going through your mental checklist of homework assignments. You grumbled when you realized you had an Anatomy and Physiology paper due in a few days. Standing to go find your computer, you thought about what you still had to get done. You have finished all of your research, recording the links and their citations. All you should have left to do is write the paper itself and format it properly.

You sat back down on the couch, laptop and textbook in hand. If there was one thing you were going to do right today, it was going to be this essay.

Long story short, things did not go the way you wanted. When Keigo came home a few hours later, he didn’t know what to expect. He set his keys, headphones, and goggles at the kitchen counter, noticing the burnt tea bags on the stove. He rushed over, turning the stove off and throwing the tea bags away. Then he set the pot down in the sink. “Birdie? You forgot about your tea again!”

Hawks waited for a response as he rid himself of his shoes and coat, setting them next to the front door. There was no sign of you though, but Keigo was sure you were home. While, yes, you were forgetful, you were not the type of person to leave the stove on while no one was home. So he called again, “Birdie?”

Keigo’s golden eyes scanned the kitchen, dining room, and then into the living room where he saw you sitting motionless on the couch. His senses immediately heightened, hoping you were alright. Were you caught in a panic? Or were you just daydreaming? He had no idea. Sitting down beside you, Hawks placed a hand on your shoulder. “Y/N? You ok, dove?”

When your hazy e/c eyes met his soft ones, Hawks’ heart shattered. Tears brimmed your eyes, a few already escaping all the way down to your chin. “Kei?”

“Honey, what’s wrong?” Hawks asked desperately. “What happened?”

You aggressively shook your head, wiping your eyes with your sleeves. “I can’t.”

Hawks tilted his head to the side slightly. “Can’t what, love?”

“Focus!” your voice cracked. He could hear how frustrated you were with yourself. This also wasn’t exactly the first time Hawks has had to help you through something like this.

Keigo pulled you into a warm hug, holding you against his chest. “Y/N, love, remember what I said last time this happened?” He ran a hand up and down your back, saying, “It’s ok if this happens. You’ll get back on your feet soon enough. There’s no sense in beating yourself up about it.”

“I was making noodles,” you whimpered into his shirt.

Keigo tilted his head again, except this time it was in confusion. “No, dove, you were making tea.”

“I know!” Wow, Hawks didn’t think you would respond like that. You were becoming even more upset.

“So why are you upset?”

“Because I was supposed to be making noodles!” You sniffled, shifted to be more comfortable in Keigo’s hold, then continued. “I went to the agency to finish up some paperwork but couldn’t focus enough so I gave up and came home. I hadn’t eaten yet so I was going to make pasta. I started doing laundry as I waited for the water but when I walked back into the kitchen I couldn’t remember what I was making so I made tea instead.” You took a deep breath, finishing up with a, “and then I tried to write this essay but I just can’t see the screen.”

“What do you mean?” Hawks asked calmly, beginning to comb a hand through your hair.

“I look at the screen and I can’t focus on it.” You were getting frustrated again. “Like my eyes just can’t focus on what I’m supposed to be working on.”

Your laptop was still resting on the couch beside you, blank google doc opened on the screen. “How about this,” Hawks suggested, reaching over you and closing the computer. “We stop working for now. I’ll go make us something to eat while you pick a movie to watch. We’ll spend some time calming down and resetting our brains, then we can go from there, yeah?”

You sniffled and pulled away from Keigo, offering a small nod. “Ok. I can do that.”

The rest of the night was spent watching a movie with Keigo as he held you tightly against him. He even let you doze off on him for a few hours before waking you up to try to help you with your essay. As a way to keep you focused, Keigo asked for updates on your paragraphs, or for you to read out what you had just written for him. Needless to say, he helped you stay focused enough to finish your essay that night and get it turned in with some time to spare with your best friend :)

how to start a heathers fandom warzone: blue or you're welcome

[blackerthings]

everyday in America feels like a state of impending doom. the amount of shit this country has done and continues to do worldly, is insane. the fact that when shit finally does hit the fan it'll be everyday people just trying to survive who'll suffer the most... is worse.

a vote for trump was a vote against human rights, world peace, and climate action

but i’m so glad that the economy will be secure in the hands of a failed businessman

I've noticed this weird false dichotomy amongst Biden supporters where you can either support lgbt people in America or Palestinians. They choose lgbt people in America over the Palestinians. This is the false dichotomy they fell for. My take on this issue is you can care about both and here's why. I dislike Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza war because he mollycoddles Netanyahu to give him everything he wants. The way Netanyahu is waging this war might lead to a greater war in the middle east not just in Lebanon to fight Hezbollah but including Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran and many others. I fear if this war escalates Iran will become more involved. Despite the fact the Iranians have a new reformer president who wants to make peace with the West I fear he might not be able to stop a bigger war. I worry about this since we are backing the Ukrainians fighting Russia and gearing up for a war with China. This will overstretch our abilities to fight in wars. At best Biden has sanctioned illegal Israeli settlers but that's about it. He has not changed the systemic nature of the war and his current policies with Netanyahu might escalate it. I do not want America getting dragged into another war in the Middle East.

We keep mucking around in places we shouldn't be. This will get service members killed (which include lgbt people by the way) and more people in the Middle East killed. In fact, service members have been killed already like in that Tower 22 base in Jordan near the Syrian border. Where they were killed by drones form Iraqi militia groups. That could be a glimpse of things to come. Which is tragic since it's a region that has suffered over 20 years of conflict and is still suffering from it to this day. We have been at war there the majority of my life. Whether in full military might like the invasion of Iraq or special forces doing black ops like in Syria. Call me chickenshit, call me what you will but I am just sick of the wars in the Middle East which our government constantly gets us involved in. Basically, you can care about both lgbt people, and the Palestinians since Biden seems to just sleepwalk us into more wars.

white ppl thinking if they just say 'trump is worse' enough times that poc will finally change their minds and vote for biden is so funny.

like you might have had your head up your ass for the last 4 years ignoring how badly hes fucked over our communities but the white supremacist dog you want in charge is just as bad for us as the one you dont like. only real difference for us is that white ppl actually pretend to care when the one they dont like is in charge.

8 kids to buy christmas presents for..... im going to blow up a building

[amerasdreams]

actually thinking people should die because a politician said they're not worth helping is a vile, evil, disgusting attitude and i want no part of people who think like this.

To see someone suffering and your heart not to break for them and to have no empathy-- this is actually the hard heartedness is ruining this country.

[the-voltage-diaries]

Wondering if I should actually post this LOL

new year new political shit
