#don't be a hoarder

Alright hit me with your latest favorite destiel fics. Mama needs fictional situations to keep her awake at night.

[raytorosaurus]

my chemical romance is funny because they are almost entirely offline and out of the public eye, which leaves frank iero, who has the most severe affliction of fandom woobification mischaracterisation syndrome i've ever seen on a real human being, their sole spokesperson, whether he actually intends to be spoking on any persons or not. this kind of frenzy happens every time he does or says anything that even slightly undermines his fandom identity of 'number one specialest rabid mcr fanboy first, human second' lmao, the vibes were similar in 2020...if ur having fun tinhatting then go for it but if you're genuinely upset im here to tell you it's okay. he is just some guy. sometimes he makes everyday decisions that are not directly related to the definitive future or lack thereof of one of his bands it's okay

These Clone Wars headcanons take a turn at the end

I feel like the writers really dropped the ball on never showing us Anakin and Ahsoka attending a formal event because I feel like it would be hilarious 

Watching two hardened war heroes try and act like they haven’t seen all the horrors the universe has to offer is the equivalent of watching two possums stacked on top of each other trying to convince someone they’re human

I feel like they would both try to behave for Padme and Obi-Wan’s sake but at the same time they can't help but make fun of each other as they act “normal” while simultaneously hiding the fact that they’re talking shit about anyone and everyone in the room

These two dorks are just standing in a corner praying to anyone that will listen for these stuck-up silver spoon-suckling sleemos to leave them alone but unfortunately for them the rich never care to read the vibe so they’re stuck schmoozing

After being to a couple of formal events the two start to form escape plans to get out of being in boring conversations which include but are not limited to: Ahsoka acting like they’re playing her favorite song so they have to dance, them pretending as Obi-Wan called them over with the force but in actuality they just hide behind him while he acts like an adult, and last but certainly not least Ahsoka faking an allergic reaction 

That last one got them into some trouble cause in their haste they left Obi-Wan and Padme behind to deal with the confused and concerned public and they were less than pleased to find that Anakin abused his padawan’s allergies like this little did they know Ahsoka came up with that plan

I have a guttural feeling that Ahsoka’s been put in air jail sometimes by Rex but it’s mostly Anakin using the force to lift her off the ground because it’s the only thing that calms her down 

It surprised her to find out that he stole the idea from Obi-Wan it was more surprising to find out he wasn’t entirely patient with Anakin during the first couple of years of his apprenticeship but the thing that didn’t surprise her was the fact that Anakin was a feral little brat who bit hard when he was frustrated 

There was one time when the trio were sent on a mission and it wasn’t a pleasant one to say the least which naturally resulted in them being sleep deprived which usually leads to them being very snappy towards each other

One day Anakin and Ahsoka got into a less-than-friendly shoving match which was likely going to escalate into a full-blown fight before Obi-Wan lifted them both and the uncharacteristic abuse of the force caused the duo to laugh their asses off 

Obi-Wan doesn’t like thinking of that moment cause it feels like a petty step back in his growth but the duo silently thinks that moment was hilarious and still laugh about it years later 

Anakin doesn’t always use the force to reprimand Ahsoka sometimes they act like the stupid teenagers they are and use it for reckless fun and by that I mean one day Ahsoka got an idea and begged Anakin to use the force to toss her as high as he could

He denied her request for a while even with her assuring him that if anything went wrong she could just catch herself when that approach wasn’t working she poked at his pride making little comments that he probably couldn’t toss her higher than his head

So with an admittedly bruised ego and still slight hesitation he agreed and the second her feet were back on the ground she begged him to do it again funny enough it became a kind of game/training for the duo

It helped with Anakin’s stamina and Ahsoka’s reaction time cause unfortunately being the chosen one doesn’t make someone perfect and he did drop her a couple of times but it didn’t matter much cause she caught herself

As the duo got older they started taking turns launching each other like a weird force see-saw but one day the jig was up cause the twins caught them doing this weird little game and demanded a turn

They agreed but the twins never got past the duo’s waste which didn’t matter cause Padme scolded them anyway and the two promised to never do it again with the twins around 

Anakin and Ahsoka are both deeply sentimental people I know this in my soul which results in their shared quarters being cluttered with a whole bunch of stuff 

Anakin’s stuff makes more sense cause it’s basically gifts from Padme and Obi-Wan or random projects that never worked out but he could never justify throwing away

Ahsoka on the other hand is an absolute goblin and will hoard anything and everything that feels special like 3D glasses from the singular time she and Anakin could see a holo in theaters, or a random rock from Naboo, a ribbon from a dress Padme gave her that she outgrew, and a thank you note from the kids on Mandalor 

You know the things that most people would describe as useless or junk but she keeps them scattered all over their quarters nonetheless well she did before someone got wind that she was doing this and advised her against it cause it’s against the Jedi code

She agreed with them so she stuffed all of it in a box and right before she could toss it they were sent on a mission and when she got back she didn’t have the energy to get rid of it so she just shoved it to the back of her closet 

And then she started collecting trinkets again and stored them all in the box that she lovingly refers to as the “box o’ shit” in her mind until one day the box literally wouldn’t close with all the stuff stored inside

And out of the blue the guilt she first felt when she was reprimanded came flooding back tenfold and she made a vow to toss it out the next day but every time she tried it just ended with tears in her eyes

Until one day she came home from a truly terrible solo mission to find a chest in the middle of her room and when she asked Anakin about it all he said was “Oh it’s for your stuff I figured you’d need a new one by now”

She needed no clarification of what stuff he was talking about and she didn’t know how to ask him politely how he knew she ignored sage advice while she knew she should feel embarrassed for being so obvious or guilty all she felt was loved 

So she squeezed the ever-loving force out of the one person who just got her and smiled as he squeezed her back just as tight without commenting on the twin puddles on the front of his robes

saw

(the noun not the verb)

Sky held up the item, brow furrowing as he examined it. "Is this... a saw?"

"Why the hell do you have a saw in your closet?" Warriors questioned, disturbed.

Legend shrugged, enjoying the bafflement on the other two's faces. "Never know when I might need it."

UPDATE: A REASON FOR MY ABSENCE, A BRIEF SUMMARY Normally I don't make posts about my life but I think I need to give an update to all the peeps out there about my random absences. I don't talk about my life a lot due to the amount of dysfunction and heartache that goes on behind the scenes that drain my will to be creative, to interact with everyone, to even live. It's like every year that goes on, there was something in the background that disrupted my life and mental state further.

First and foremost I've grown up a parentified child taking on responsibilities not mine to bear with no say in the matter. Being forced to give up my own childhood for my own parent's selfish decisions. Then I moved away from my mother's to my father's. Which wasn't even better from 2014-2019 living with him was very terrifying due to his anger issues and violence whenever I didn't do things his way. He had this expectation for me to go to college full time while working full time and expected me to pay for my own college and pay him rent. When I stopped going to school to focus on working, he would verbally and sometimes physically hurt me. I had lost a severe amount of weight due to the stress and decided to move back in with my mother in 2019.

Fast forward 2021 my father died of cancer and my mom is in a custody battle with one of her many baby daddies and looked to me for financial support since she hadn't worked in nearly a decade. I had started a new job around that time but my mental health was drained at that point.

Now in 2024 my mother has decided to bring my elderly and sick grandmother into the household where we don't have a lot of resources and we really aren't equipped to give her proper care. But now the table has turned where she has finally got a new job a month ago and I am not working currently. She decided to dump the task of taking care of a confused, incontinent, elderly grandmother onto. Even though my own mother never had anything good to say about her own mother and I don't have great experiences with my grandma either. But we have to take care of her because "we're family." Gimme a break.

So right now I'm a bit pissed, sad, tired, and a myriad of other unpleasant emotions. If you ever want to know why Koji is gone all the time. Here is your answer. Family life bullshit.

But not to worry, I've been working on trying to get myself out of this hole I've seemed to find myself in again. Because I do want to interact with all my new followers and old ones. It's just that I've been recovering from deep wounds.

I think about how so many resources for dealing with a hoarder house situation online come from a perspective of hatred and frustration for the person(s) perpetuating the hoarder situation in the household, and I think to myself. Would perhaps people have better results by treating the hoarder with a modicum of respect and applying harm reduction strategies to the situation? Like with addiction?

The household we live in teeters in a weird spot where multiple rooms (living room, porch, back room, guest room, upstairs bathroom) are slowly being overtaken with storage boxes.

It's not a filled-to-the-brim hoarding situation yet, but if I'm not actively organizing and cautiously removing items, it came become a really frustrating environment to live in. Blocked closets, hallways you have to squeeze through, stuff like that.

Bu I've been trying to find resources for helping someone out of a hoarding mindset, and so much "advice" approaches the person having the mindset with distaste.

"The problem with hoarders is that they don't think it's a problem!"

That's usually because they see the hoarding as a solution to some other problem, like resource insecurity, or compensating for memory loss via keepsakes. Maybe we should take those fears seriously and help them dismantle it all on their own terms?

My ipad broke and I lost over 2 years of art wips so haha don't pay mind to my twitching eyelid rn, I'll just be taking a bit of an art break and focusing on writing fics and meta instead for a while this is fine

[chicago-geniza]

Was going to work on minimizing my hoarding tendencies this year but with the way things are going I might as well hone them. Cultivate them. Improve them. Like a targeted skill set

Now, Chris wasn't stupid. He knew relationships usually only involved two people, and that there was an expected order of progression within those relationships. He knew that his Dad would never be able to marry both Buck and Tommy, and that it was unlikely they'd never both be able to adopt him. Dad had sat him down a few days into officially dating them to explain everything involved more thoroughly, including the fact that a lot of people would likely find their dynamic unusual.

Chris had just kind of assumed that when he'd said that, he'd meant it in the same way that Denny having two moms was 'unusual' to some people.

Agatha All Along is still rent free in my mind 24/7 ever since it ended.

For the new Year I think I'll add a few new muses (def not bc of that dream.catcher jazz bar performance), and I will also be removing a few muses that I really have no muse for. Here's the muses I think (I might change my mind until the end of the year, who knows) of removing from my list, it shouldn't really affect anybody since they don't really have any current active theads.

Gyeongeun - this edge lord clown is probably gonna be just a private muse

Abigail - I might keep her as a request only, she might make a return at some point, but currently I have much more fun writing her sisters Elaine and Stella, and people seemed more interested in them too. Abigail just has always been quite hard to interact with, I guess because she can be quite bitchy at times

Earendill - as much as I love him, my muse for him is pretty low currently. He might return at some point too, but for now, I think I'll make him private only for Naz bc he's just so heart eyes for Kaho and his muse always jumps up when he sees him haha

Wren - she's just kind of there, I might give her a rework at some point so she can make a return

Paisley - again, he's just kind of there, not really bringing anything to the table (no pun intended). But I do want to have at least one alien/space muse so I'll be keeping Finley (for now, her muse is quite fickle for not too, I'll see if I can light my spark for her)

[socialbunny]

sorry to this man, but i don't think theres a big enough video game promo collector or even manhunt fan that's going to buy this at the made-up price it's set at just bc theres some shitty plastic on it. "factory sealed" items are like a parasite in the promo/game collecting sphere & it gauges prices so badddd

thinking about will staying at the wheelers and sharing a bed with mike and in the middle of the night mike starts jerking off beside will thinking he's asleep and wills just panicking internally and trying his best to pretend he's sleeping while hearing mikes hand under the blanket and soft panting

Immediately I am shamelessly adding this to my wip list to actually write it long form because it's soooooo goooood, love this scenario. I feel I've read several fics where Mike and Will are sharing the room/bed and it's usually Mike who does something unintentionally in his sleep whilst having a dream. But I like the idea that Mike can't just not indulge, I mean, you'd be used to having your own room. You're young and your thoughts and urges race, and this close proximity is a blessing and a massive curse. Will seemed to be asleep, Mike just can't ignore the state he's in. It's not as satisfying running off to the bathroom, or waiting for the shower, especially with the familiarity of his comfortable bed, now so warm with shared body heat. So he indulges. Quietly, not frantic. Just enough to get off and satiate the need for the moment, because there's no way he can fall back asleep until he takes care of himself.

And Will. So not asleep. Lying back to back. Will tries to lie as still as possible but how still is too still, how can he pretend to be sleeping when he can barely breathe. He feels so guilty listening but what's he supposed to do? Roll over and whisper in Mike's ear "here, let me help you with that?" Join in and get himself off, too? He hears the sound of Mike's strained breath, the tiniest escape of a whimper, the soft of skin moving over skin and it makes his face so hot and flushed. The movements shifting the shared blankets. And he's hard now too, and it's killing him to ignore this. Ooh, what if Mike breathes out Will's name?

There's so many directions something like this could take, it's the world's horniest choose your own adventure story:

Will ignores everything and he's turned on and miserable and confused, forces himself to fall asleep or just lies there and stares at the wall until Mike's finished (and oh god, hearing that is both the highlight and biggest nightmare of Will's complicated young life).

He gets off, too. Also trying to be as quiet as possible. Does Mike now notice? Does he ignore it, too, also horrified but secretly delighted and turned on even more? They're both there indulging and thinking this is just what guys do, it's not that weird, they've just silently given each other permission that it's ok to take care of themselves int he night, both not knowing they are guiltily fantasizing about the other. Oh boy. You could solve so many problems if you both just turned around!!

Will, fully insane, snaps and does turn over, pressed to Mike's back. Mike, initially so startled and terrified, relaxes once Will shushes him and soothes his panic, wraps an arms around his chest to draw him close, tells him it's ok. And he kisses his neck while running a hand lower, until Mike take his offered hand and guides him to wrap around himself, getting him off together now. And then Mike returns the favor of course.

Or I could write all three, each a different what if scenario chapter. Starting with sad angst and then ending with pure spice hahaha
