#don’t do drugs and alcohol

[lucas-grey]

This was one of the best stories I have read this year. Grey being addicted to Diana and smoking is so much him because hear me out!

I believe that Grey can become addicted relatively easily. No matter what. Substances, actions, smoking, you name it. He loves the rush and the moment of oblivion that comes with being shot through with adrenaline at the moment of a skydive and not having to think about all the bad traumas of his past. When he numbs himself with a bottle of whiskey in the evening so that he is not haunted by the ghosts of his past when he tries to sleep.

Is that healthy? Absolutely not! Don't try this at home, kids! He could just go to therapy, but he's too stubborn for that. And also a little too tired of life. That's why he seeks intoxication. And why not try something like uninhibited sex with an attractive woman? To be able to switch off his thoughts in these moments and replace all the negative feelings with the vibration of passion. No wonder he can't stop doing it.

This story captures his character so well, so please go and read it (and listen to the song while reading it, it is a great addition)!

For the ask game - what has been your fave fic or one-shot that you’ve written this year?

Thank you for the ask, Nonny!

That is such a hard question! I’ve really enjoyed the fics I’ve published this year. And while I love the variety of them, I was super happy with how this Songs and Silencers request turned out. That song gave me SO many ideas for these blorbos and others, but I really liked how I managed the tone and their desire for each other in it.

I'm always happy to reread my fics, but especially that one :D

So I got laid off from my dream job due to budget constraints. I’m not actually sure what my following is on tumblr anymore, since I recently migrated back, but I think it’s worth a shot to ask for help here — not for myself, but for the school. I was an academic coach at 5280 High School, which is the largest recovery high school in the United States. The student body it serves is made up of kids recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders, and mental health crises. I was one of seven who was laid off, which aside from being a devastating blow means that these kids won’t be getting the care they need.

My position was a part of the Special Education team, and I worked closely with kids with IEPs to help them graduate while accommodating various disabilities. I affectionately termed my position “professional homie” or “professional opp” depending upon the day. Mostly I got to remind smart kids that they are in fact smart and listen when they needed me.

When the kids come back from their winter break, they’re going to need resources now more than ever, so if there’s anyone out here in this tumblr internet void who has something in their pocket to spare for these students, there is no one more deserving. They are down seven trusted adults. If we can at least get them some funding for programming and make sure my former coworkers get paid, then I know I’ve done everything I can to make sure that 5280 is able to continue to help its wonderful, messy, brilliant student body now and into the future.

If you can give ‘em something, would you?

Tell them Scarlett sent you or something, I don’t know

listening to duster makes me want to think of depressed Charles 😁

Everything has become so tiring that the only routine he can keep up is injecting himself with the serum. Charles manages to eat something every now and then but the only thing that truly fills his stomach is the alcohol he moved up to his room, which has all gone warm by now.

The days have gotten blurry, so much so that Charles doesn’t remember the last time he woke up or the last time he fell asleep.

Nearly everything reminds him of before Cuba. When he was happy, when he could walk without the reliance of drugs, when he had sister.

Charles doesn’t want to think of Erik, but his face haunts every single dream he has, reminding him what happens when you trust a monster with your heart.

There’s a pile of glass bottles in the corner, building up by each hour. A mixture of trash and clothes can be found strewn across the floor and the bed in Charles’s room. Discarded syringes are overflowing his drawers.

Sometimes Charles can be found sitting in random rooms of the mansion, staring at nothing while he lazily drinks from another bottle of alcohol. Hank found him once, passed out in the attic.

There was one time he tried to break out of his habits. He decided to walk around the grounds, take in the fresh air and nature. Before he could even make it halfway he collapsed on the gravel, his last dosage of the serum wearing off.

He screamed for an hour before Hank came. The voices yelled in his head while he was forced to look at the satellite facing towards the mansion.

Charles never went back outside again.

Opinions on vapes?

Weed is better

I wanna know more about whatever the shit is that ghouls take to not go feral. Is that also in the games? It’s just interesting bc the scene in the super duper mart makes it seem like it also gives them some sort of high? But maybe that’s just like a side effect of it clearly being a dependency both in the sense of they’ll go feral without it but also maybe in a similar way to any other kind of drug? Idk it’s interesting.

Person A: Do you want a beer? I’m paying.

Person B, going through the restaurant’s menu: No. Ugh, where’s the good stuff?

Person A, half jokingly: I thought you were an alcoholic.

Person B: Exactly. I’d need at least, like, four beers — without food — to get slightly buzzed, and my stomach can’t fit over 2 beers in it. I’m small. I’ll have a rum, neat.

Okay wooo let’s come on out about it, confession time babes!

I… think it’s so lame and embarrassing but I HAVE dealt with a fucking. Gambling addiction in the past lmfao there’s not much to it but yeah it was bad

So um. There’s a lot of substance abuse in the family and since I’ve already dealt with the lame gambling thing I do a lot to prevent other stuff from happening to me personally like I never keep alcohol in the house and as much as I like to have a good time I never buy ~party favors~ directly or like allow myself to have those connections/contacts

and yet I STILL found a way to abuse cigarettes about uhhh 10 years ago because it was the only thing I let myself have access to. It started with cigars in Cuba and by the time I moved to China YOH I was smoking a pack a night. Found out it was an issue when a friend took them from me once out of concern and I started crying and begging for them back, it was NOT pretty. I decided to quit cold turkey by myself 5 years ago and I got SO SICK when my body adjusted to like. Not poisoning itself. Anyway. Even nowadays I still crave them and I know if I even have one again I’m fucked but I never want to get that sick again so I JUST DONT

[glittertimes]

I shouldn’t have to actively fight to not get addicted to things! Like why are things that are addictive so easily accessible to me!

[yawpyawp]

my family is so nice but SO BORING like our gatherings are just everyone sitting around and staring at each other in silence

literally nobody has common interests or knows how to have a conversation with each other
