#even if it is or isnt soemthing to be mad about

[izmaddieyt]

hey so

First of all, if I’m on anon, it’s for a reason, mainly my own protection.

Because not only is flowey just uncomfortable to me but has hurt my friends in the past, has been ableist and threatening. I would appreciate if you took down the posts with me mentioned in it and you block me as well and we can move on from this.

Your response to my question came off as hostile and scares me a little

I get that, its just the ammount of those who do abuse anon is worrying enough, i didnt mean for it to seem that hostile or hostile at all, but moreso a question as i was slightly confused and confused on who it whould be, i have and had no intention on it being agressive or to be agressive, im not the best at answering those kinds of asks as they are concearning to say the least. I dont mind takeing the posts down at all if thats what you wish, but i am happy you got the confirmation i wanted you to have!

I get the uncomfortableness, and to answer the previous question, i really am unsure if the friend thing, never truely messaged them about it or anything and either have they, and mostly @ them due to being a mutual i find it fun or easy to get along with, ive interacted with them before any of the drama around such things had started and i just didnt want any of it on my blog.

Im not one and never will be, i do find it weird and such but im just not one for drama and misunderstandings so ive never said anything about it just to not be put into the drama it holds and held, as i personaly dislike the dangerousness of the drama and those who took things quite far as to go doxxing others and sending them death threats to even there direct homes and as far as going TO there homes, and much more that i rather stay away from, since those who were doing that sort of thing were either being supported for it or asked to stop, i assume you had seen those posts about it at the time the drama started with the whole thing and it is scary for many, so theres much concearn when getting asks that are potentialy related to it and not knowing who its from can also hide those who dont have good intentions.

I hadnt ment to scare at all, that i do apologize for haveing it seem. I was not known of them being threatening to anybody, but its nice to get confirmstion sorted.

[familyofpaladins]

@sonderquill hehehe thank you!!!! Scary nightmare fuel was the vibe I was going for, (Leo is not having a good time and this Will haunt him for a Good While) so I'm glad that came across!!

(Also sorry I meant to respond to this earlier but was hoping to draw something extra for it but tmaynt is taking up my drawing time so I'm just gonna word ramble instead lol)

So! One lucky bit for Leo in this, when Shredder catches him out in the hall, Leo says that he had woken up from a nightmare (which is partly true. he's experiencing a nightmare right now) and was just going to get a drink. Shredder, who is slightly buzzed from celebrating, believes him, because this is "the well-behaved turtle" and doesnt think he'd lie to him. Then Shredder mostly forgets about it by morning.

Leo is the "well-behaved one" because, well, he's the youngest and the most scared of making their "guardian" fed up and kicking them out. Like I mentioned before, Shredder have been taking care of them but he wasnt really nice. (There was an incident once, where someone did something they shouldnt have and wouldnt admit that they did it. So shredder left them outside until one of them confessed) And Shredder gets angry when they dont listen or misbehave, and that scares Leo, so he always did his best to keep Shredder from being angry and throwing them out. So he kind of appears as a suck up or teachers pet.

The other three are lower on Shredder's list of Good students.

Mikey (who is the oldest in this au because everyone always makes him the baby, so I'm giving him older brother privileges) is very ADHD. Cant sit still or focus on anything that he doesnt like. When they were still with Splinter, he used to help with the cooking because it was soemthing with his dad that he enjoyed. He doesnt really get to that anymore because Shredder has his own people to do all the cooking. Mikey is fairly talented at ninjutsu, but isnt as disciplined as shredder wants him to be so he gets extra work shoved at him as punishment, both exercises and reading homework. Mikey has trouble reading (maybe dyslexia, more just a hard time reading boring walls of text) as well, so Shredder tends to dismiss him as stupid (it's not true, mikey is very clever and is actually constantly sneaking around and pulling pranks on other foot members. Is most likely the one responsible for the "incident" mentioned earlier.) Mikey is great at story telling and is the one who helps keep his brothers spirits up and hopeful that Splinter will come for them soon.

Raph, you can probably guess, has a very short temper and doesnt like being told what to do. He doesnt like being in this new place (no matter how long they've been there) and hates being told that he's fighting wrong or not learning the proper techniques quickly enough. He tends to resort to wrestling/punching and in fighting and shredder doesnt like that. Raph doesn't give two shits about what Shredder thinks and this makes Shredder angrier (and increases Leo's anxiety.) Even under the impression that Shredder is a "friend" he wants to leave, but all of them are a little young still (boy you're like 9. You're definitely too young) to be out on their own, but especially Donnie and Leo wo are the youngest ones.

Donnie is smart. He's brilliant. He cant take apart any piece of machine or tech and put it back together and fix it at the same time. Or make something entirely new out of it. But he doesnt talk (he was non verbal almost the entire time they were with Splinter. He did actually begin to speak in rare moments shortly before the infiltration of the lair. But has once again gone mute with the Shredder. He might occasionally speak only to his brothers when they're alone, but Shredder thinks he is unable to speak). Donnie also tends to zone out and focus solely on a project and not respond right away when addressed and that makes shredder mad, and he thinks Don is purposefully ignoring him. And if Don gets overwhelmed he can become unresponsive as well, which doesnt help convince shredder that he's not ignoring him.

Also when they were with Splinter, he did start to teach them some basic moves and katas and stuff, to help expend some toddler energy, before letting them then do whatever other activities they enjoyed. Leo really likes the training so he tended to do it more/longer than the rest of his brothers (raph joined him often, but not all the time because it usually ended in playful wrestling and not actual ninjitsu techniques). So when they end up with Shredder, Leo knows a little more/ is able to pick up the techniques a little quicker, so shredder favors Leo over the others.

Once Leo knows the truth (original post) about Shredder's intentions, he tries to convince Shredder that he and his brothers arent useless, that Donnie is smart and would maybe be better in the research department instead of fighting. That Raph is the strongest of them and would be the toughest warrior. And that Mikey is actually very skilled and can be stealthy and acrobatic when he's having fun.

He doesnt want to stay with Shredder, but their father is gone now (as far as he is aware), so there is no other place for them to go, so for now, until he can figure out a way for them to escape and a place to go to, he wants to stay on Shredder's good side so that he and his brothers arent killed. And tries to get his brothers to behave and listen more and tries to help make things easier/better for them.

Leo doesnt tell his brothers what he found out because he knows they already dont like Shredder and thinks that if he does tell them it would cause Raph and/or Mikey to try and fight Shredder or escape without a plan, respectively. And neither of those things would end well for them. So he doesnt tell them.

This may or may not come back to bite him.

When you overhear something you weren't supposed to know

*throws these unfinished pieces up and runs away* jk. couldn't decide which perspective i like more so im putting them both up, I liked working with the colors

whats going on below

so this from my own little au/iteration of the tmnt. In it the boys are happily being raised by Splinter, but then one day when they're all about 7 are told to hide when Splinter realizes someone is near their home. They wait and wait where their father puts them, but the person who finds them is someone else. Someone who introduces himself as an old friend of their sensei. Oroku Saki

As far as the turtles are concerned he is the strict friend of their father who isn't maybe isn't super nice (he's really really NOT) but is at least providing a safe place for them "until their sensei returns for them"

What's happening here^^^ is Leo finding out the truth. That Shredder had only taken them in to hopefully Lure out Splinter and take care of him once and for all, and he has finally done so (at least that's what he thinks).

Poor little Leo had just woken up in the middle of the night and was hoping to get a glass of water, only to hear that the person who had been taking care of them for the last year or two has killed your father and plans to get rid of "those useless turtles" now as well.

"sound of da police" doesn't need a remix it's already a banger

And your remix taking out all the discussion of police oppression of black people, the force's roots in slavery, and misconduct of officers automatically disqualifies it from slapping

[kaito-is-baby]

THH boys with a non-binary S/O who has come out to their parents and was rejected by them

This was requested by a beautiful anon for some comfort so here I have it! I have a big writer block so I have my three fav boys here for you and I will try to write the rest on a second part some day

2 part

Makoto Naegi

•You know, Makoto is a very common guy, he doesn't really understand how it is to have been rejected by your own parents

•He thinks about it and... they really need to be heartless to reject you for that, he wouldn't reject a friend for almost anything and even less for soemthing that isn't wrong

•He is not a boy who hates easily but the most near emotions to hate he has ever experienced are (the whole trial against junko) and this exact moment, against your parents

•What he surely understands us how you feel

•And he needs you to understand that you are completely valid

•He is not something especial and usually keeps thinking to himself that you could get someone better

•You were extremely unique, and you know how much Makoto craves that

•He loved how you embraced your real identity and show it to the world

•He was proud of you and tought you were the strongest person he had ever know

•And he knew you were failing now, you were trying to hide from everyone and come back to the closet, to the wrong pronouns hurting you everyday and to your dysphoria being intensified by it

•He wasn't going to let you do that

•"Baby, you're amazing, I don't care if they don't accept who you are, I do, our class do, just... I know they are your parents but you are much more loved than they might be making you feel now. I love you and I will never ever throw you aside" he said, doubting, as always, holding your hand timidly and wrapping his arms around you

•You had to admit that in his warmth you felt much better

Leon Kuwata

•I love this boy, I really do but he is not as sensitive as Makoto, yet he loves you with all he has and wants to make you happy

•And to be happy you have to accept yourself

•And the people around have to accept it as well

•And if they don't screw them

•That's exactly what he tells you

•"Babe, I don't care they are your parents they are two stupid shitheads and that's all. I-" He tried to calm his extremely anger issues for you "You deserve much better than that"

•You knew he was right but... they were your parents you couldn't just... stop loving them even if a part of you hated them for not accepting you... you didn't want to lose them, you wanted then to accept you

•"I... I know it must be hard..." he started to doubt of his words, screeching the back of his neck and looking to his side

•"But I promise I will be with you, at your side, all the time" he hurried up to you and cupped your face in his hands "we will make them understand you and accept you and if they don't then just... come to me, I will be with you all the time, my parents are cool, sure they may even let you stay and call you by your actual pronouns" you laughed at how he remarked those words with pure hate towards your parents in them

• "And if they don't accept you just.. screw them! You're perfect and I love you I don't want you to be scared or ashamed of your identity, so if they ver make you feel bad again come to me" he pampered your face with kisses "and I will make sure you remember how proud I am of you showing yourself"

Mondo Oowada

•ASSHOLES

•It's the first thing your boyfriend yells when he sees you crying

•"What shit did they say to you?" He says, full rage mode

•You explain to him the whole situation and his first reaction is to fight

•"I will make them understand with a good-"

•"Babe, no, please, I just... want my parents to love me back... Am I that disgusting?"

•His eyes open in fear and anger, an expression of wanting to protect you from the whole world, and this self hate feelings included

•"I... You are absolutely amazing" You know he isnt good with words, he always ends up screaming and cursing "and fuck those who find you disgusting you aren't, you are sweet and nice and always try to help everyone. Damn "he curses to himself "you make me smile every single day just reminding that you exist so never ever dare say you are disgusting again"

•He was almost mad when he kissed you

•You had expect a sweet loving kiss after those words

•But not it was an angry and passionate one

•When he finally pulled you out he looked at you with admiring eyes

•"Now let's go somewhere, we can give a ride alone or call some of your friends who actually respect you" He hugged your wrist with his arm and grabbed you to his motorbike "come on"

MORE LATINO/HISPANIC BAKUGOU HEAD CANONS

just wanted to put some more latino/hispanic bakugou out for the world <333 also this is hella self indulgent so like oOp aNYWAYS have fun reading bBy

he thinks it’s v cute when you refer to his parents as “tus suegros”

lives for that shit

absolutely loves it when you will randomly switch languages and go off

he thinks it’s hot as hell

unless it’s directed towards him

if you’re getting angry at the man and you switch to spanish

he knows that he’s in deep shit

and as much as katsuki isnt one to back down, he chooses life

has his “respectable” personality that he uses in front of your parents

you tease him a lot during that so it’s v hard for him to keep his composure and not blast your ass into outer space

but he knows if y’all aren’t on that best behavior type shit, your tias will talk mad smack

and as much as the both of you would love to say soemthing back, you know your parents would beat your asses before you got a word in

speaking of parents, his parents always ask about you

making sure you’re good and “que mi hijo te este tratando bien porque si no yo le pongo en línea rapidito, okay y/n?” ( that my son is treating you good because if not i’ll put him in line )

his mom calls you all the time to see what you’re up to and to chismear ( gossip )

sometimes he’ll go over to your place just to find you talking on the phone with his mom

cue blasty boy taking your phone to tell his mom your busy with your BOYFRIEND and ending the phone call

aLso him immediately calling his mom back and apologizing bc he knows that she could get her ass to your place and end his life but if you ever tell anyone that you’re gone too

call him “el amor de mi vida” and he’ll have hella heart eyes, you’ll even see a cute little blush appear in his face

~~~

hoped y’all liked this headcanon ! i love making bakugou feel a little closer to me this way and like aH it fits him tbh so oOp

Hey guys its uhhh Saturday July 3rd 2021 9:53 a.m.

I literally got 1-2 hours of sleep •_• because I was up into the earliest hours of the morning talking to Jay and Ariel.

... Its homophobic that Jay was away /j :P and not in my room that night because... how do I say this without saying too much... he turns me on, simple. He's in LEDUC. DUDE. COME BACK I WANT TO FUCK YOU /HJ

I told him this before you guys, but my brain does this thing where it randomly sends me back to some memory and I have to live through the feelings yknow? And I twitch a bit. Well my brain has been sending me back to almost entirely memories of him now. And it's. Not even funny. My crush on him grows...

Oh well, I'm patient.

The forums last night were as usual, unhelpful. My dad looks at me as if I'm a tragedy, as if my skin is a crime scene, and we have a total of *drumroll* TWO COMMENTS! One of them was okay in helpfulness. They mostly just wanted to write about their tattoo cover up of their scars but. They were right about how you are the only person who gets to decide what you think about your scars.

If he thinks of me like that... doesnt mean I HAVE to think of my own self that same way.

So true.

Next person said maybe he doesnt think I'm damaged, maybe hes just gawking at the damage done to me?? And how he couldnt stop it?

And like isnt that the same thing honestly.

Oh hey, yeah I gotta tell you about TODAY. not yesterday or last night.

Well uhm I just woke up on my BEDFRAMELESS BED Cos they packed it and left me with the MATRESS xD (I wonder if this is their way of cockblocking me /j)

I got ready and uh I was told like, GET THE FUCK UP DUDE WE R GOING TO THE LAKE RIGHT FUCKING NOWWW

So I'm rushing 2 get ready... well not really rushing. I don't rush. I was getting ready. I go to brush my hair and theres NO BRUSH. ITS BEEN PACKED???? WHAT???

I did my best with what I had on hand and then we left

I'm in the car with my friend and annoying ass sister right now and I got music on

We got Tim Hortons (muffin + ice capp) for breakfast (already over my cal limit... •_• as if that's getting followed nowadays)

lol I dont usually eat breakfast tho so I'll try to skip lunch or have a light lunch, so it doesn't mess me up.

Right now as we are driving to the lake... it's mostly canola fields. Theres lots of canola grown where I'm from lol, just drive a little bit out and you'll see the fields and fields of bright yellow like millions of little highlighters sticking up from the grass. I cant make them out individually though... still waiting on those contact lenses.

Again, I'm patient.

I don't think we're super far out... I mean theres still lots of cars, signs, farms, roadside ads, trees, uh, shrubs, and if we WERE further out the land would be more bare... #grassland #praries #Alberta

Also the sun just makes everyhting look more alive.

Oh NOO IM DESCRIBING THE SCENERY... boring!

Idk. There isn't much to discuss, I'm just listening to music because I'm content with just that. If I come up with anything funny/Insightful(?) I'm gonna make a twitter draft.

10:17 a.m, signing off temporarily,

Judas/Jude Shepard.

4:25 p.m.

We got to the lake, talked, got ice cream, talked, went in the #water... lake stuff.

My friend was gushing over this guy and like...  DILF. IF YOU SAW HIM... xD of course I'm just looking though. He just had big pecs which is attractive to me, and the overall build with these broad shoulders XD.

Tbh? I know me and Jay are TECHNICALLY not dating, but I feel like I'm dedicated to him. That's probably because of my crush on him but oh well.

I just keep thinking horny thoughts it's a plague within my brainnnnn and I know its his fault

I did end up asking him but by then he had already logged off so.... he'll respond soon and I gotta be ready. It appears that my mom is signing up for a Christian dating app... we'll see how that goes.

As for Jay's responding, I'll just tell him nevermind.

Anwyays we are headed back, possibly to the bookstore, possibly home.

I KNOW I talk a lot about the same things but that's because I'm infatuated with them.

I'm infatuated with... him.

I think of him in my mind and bam instant horny

I'll try to think of soemthing else,,, this is. Uh. Inconvenient right now.

I'll keep updating you though lol.

Hope I'm not annoying talking about Jay all the time.

I AM doing other stuff, I have a life. I just... I guess I unintentionally highlight certain parts a lot.

11:55 p.m.

IM EXHAUSTED GODDAMNIT MY DAD WAS MAD AT me...

... I wanted to ask to go to my friends house tommorowbut my dad is pissed at me for... closing my door??? dude omg hes like “what were you doing for two hours with the door closed” uhm reading? on my phone? jacking off? im a normal person lol. i said reading and on my phone which IS true and he said”sure...” all  sarcastic WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?? YEAH I JACKED OFF???? stfu

hes not even mad at me hes mad cos my mom is goign on a date lolDONT TAKE IT OUT ON ME STFU

I'm dead.

So I didnt ask cos I was scared shitless lmaooo but I have an appointment anwyays so it works out.

I just read a bunch of this comic called outcast. That's it really. Now I'm gonna sleep after I post to twitter a bit...

ALSO I asked Jay finally about uh. Yeah. Scarring. and he said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He said I was hot but then he said that on the other hand it feels weird when he runs his hands over them, but in general, he loves me.

So he said "I don't care if you have scars or not, you're still you"

I love him honestly hes so supportive.

I admit I'm a bit sad thinking they feel weird but honestly? Yeah. They do. I felt up my leg where the scars are to check and it feels like hard ribs/ridges to the touch of a hand but he still thinks I'm pretty so I'm not gonna let the scars get me down. Cos I'm still me. It's just scars. Doesn't affect anything.

:,)

Also erin found a hagstone!!!

Gn,

Jude Shepard

(I don’t know if all these pages are in order or if it’s missing any, but this was the letter in the same stack as the last but this one was for my mom. In some places his indents indicate passage of time.)

I HAVENT HAD ANY TIME TO WRITE SINCE WEVE BEEN ON THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION THAT WE CAN’T SEND MAIL WHEN WE’RE MOVING ALL THE TIME.

WEVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX DAYS, I HAVENT REALLY BEEN COUNTING. I KNOW I TOLD YOU THAT WE’D BE IN KUWAIT FOR A WHILE, BUT THAT WAS SO YOU WOULDNT BE WORRIED. I’M GOING TO KEEP THIS LETTER THOUGH, TILL I GET HOME.

ABOUT TWO NIGHTS AGO, WE DROVE THROUGH BAGDHAD, SOMEBODY SAID THAT THERE WERE PILED BODIES, I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS TRUE.

AND I GUESS YESTERDAY, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW A MISSILE OR SOEMTHING SHOT AT US. I WAS TRYING TO FIX A TRUCK SO I DIDNT SEE IT.

ITS NOT AS DUSTY HERE IN IRAQ. IT REMINDS ME OF THE CONVOYS IN KOREA.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WILL WAVE “HI”. SOME OTHERS DONT.

I SAW A KID OPEN HIS HAND ONCE WHILE MOVING, AND IT SAID “BUSH” THAT WAS KIND OF COOL.

OH YEAH. HERES A STORY. WHILE OUT DOING A MISSION, ONE OF OUR “BRADLEY” TANKS FIRED ON AN ENEMY AMMO TRUCK AND CLIPPED A KID. THE ROUNDS BLEW ONE OF HIS LEGS OFF AND SOME OF THE OTHER, FROM THE KNEE DOWN. SO THE MEDICS PICKED HIM UP AND BROUGHT HIM TO OUR RECONCOLIDATING POINT FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. I GUESS HE EVENTUALLY DIED FROM LOSS OF BLOOD THE NEXT NIGHT AND YESTERDAY THEY TOOK HIM OUT AND BURIED HIM.

ALSO WE PICKED UP ABOUT 25-30 P.O.W.s AND SENT THEM SOUTH.

IT GETS PRETTY COLD AT NIGHT. AND THE DAY’S ARE VERY HOT.

SINCE WE LEFT KUWAIT ITS BEEN ME AND MENDOZA IN THE FIVE TON WRECKER AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ITS BEEN EXCITING. WE KEPT GETTING SEPERATED FROM THE CONVOY AND BREAKING DOWN. BUT I THINK THAT WERE BETTER NOW. HOPEFULLY.

IM STILL WAITING TO BE AMBUSHED TO MAKE ALL THIS SEEM REAL TO ME. A PART OF ME WANTS IT AND ANOTHER DOESNT.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY OUR UNIT HAS TO STAY IN UNIFORM, EVERYONE ELSE WEARS T-SHIRTS AND BANDENA’S AND RAGS ON THEIR HEAD

WERE STILL GOING NORTH. NOBODY KNOWS HOW LONG WE’LL STAY. ITS NOT THAT BAD HERE. MEANING, IT COULD BE WORSE. 

I USED A “SHIT-CHAIR”. ITS JUST A METAL CHAIR WITH A HOLE CUT IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SEAT FROM A TOILET BOLTED TO IT, GROSS.

HELICOPTERS CAN BE HEARD ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I GOT TO SEE THEM DROP BOMBS ALL DAY ABOUT 3 DAYS AGO, FROM A DISTANCE OF COURSE.

ILL BE DRIVING AGAIN, IN A MINUTE. PROBABLY RE-FUEL AND BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN. IM ENJOYING IT.

I HAVE 8 MAGAZINES FULL OF ROUNDS. NO GRENADES, BUT I LIKE IT LIKE THAT.

SOMETIMES IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT.

I GUESS ILL END IT HERE FOR NOW

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TWO TWICE IF NOT THRICE AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT MISS ME TOO.

HELLO AGAIN. WERE SOMEWHERE NEAR TIKRI + MOSUL. YESTERDAY, ME + MENDOZA WENT LOOKING FOR MOMENTO’S. WE BROKE A LOCK TO A NEAR BY BUNKER AND FOUND 6 A.K.47s! BUT ON OUR WAY BACK TO TURN THEM IN, MAJOR TATU GOT THEM FROM US. I WAS SO PISSED. BUT I GOT A GAS MASK w/ FILTER, A FULL MAGAZINE CLIP FROM ONE OF THE A.K.s AND A BERET WITH IRAQ 1 RANK ON IT.

I MADE A STENCIL FOR THE TRUCK WERE RIDING IN. ITS CALLED THE “GAMBLER.” YESTERDAY MENDOZA DROVE, SO TODAY ILL BE DRIVING.

IM NOT POSITIVE, BUT, I THINK WERE GOING TO TURKEY. NIETO SAYS THAT HE OVERHEARD SOMEBODY FROM S1 (or SI, I’m not sure) SAYING WE MIGHT GET PAID EXTRA FOR GOING THROUGH BAGHDAD.

I THINK NIETO’S MAD AT ME. CANT EXPLAIN WHY. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE IM RIDING WITH MENDOZA AND HE DOESNT LIKE MENDOZA TOO MUCH. OH WELL, WHATEVER REASON, HOPE THINGS GET NORMAL AGAIN. HAVE TO GO,

*hearts and xs*

TODAY IS THE 25th OF APRIL, I RECEIVED FIVE OR SIX (OR SEVEN) LETTERS YESTERDAY. THE LATEST WAS DATED 07 OF APRIL. THAT TELLS ME THAT ITS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO COMMUNICATE.

WE HAVENT RECEIVED MAIL BECAUSE WEVE BEEN MOVING NEVER STAYING IN ONE PLACE MORE THAN A DAY, OR TWO, UNTIL NOW. WE’VE BEEN IN THIS SPOT GOING ON FOUR DAYS TOMORROW?!

GIVE ME A MINUTE...

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IVE BEEN HELPING MENDOZA PULL THE ENGINE OUT OF A 5 TON TRUCK AND SWITCH IT w/ ANOTHER ONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY BUT THE FLY WHEEL SEIZED UP INSIDE THE BELL HOUSING. ITS FINISHED NOW AND THE RUMOR IS WE’RE LEAVING  (OR MOVING) AGAIN TOMORROW.

ITS 10:33 THURSDAY MORNING. YOUR TIME IS 12:32 JUST TURNING THURSDAY.

I ALMOST CRYED WHEN I SAW ELIS PICTURE. I REALLY MISS BOTH OF YOU. LET ME BACK TO BEFORE I GOT DISTRACTED. I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SEND MAIL BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN MOVING. BUT I GUESS THAT WHATEVER THREAT THERE WAS (IF ANY), ISNT SO THREATFUL ANYMORE, WE CAN START RECEIVING AND SENDING MAIL. NO PHONE TO CALL FROM, AND NO INTERNET TO E-MAIL FROM.

THE WHOLE UNIT IS SCATTERED, SO EVEN IF I GET WHAT YOU NEED IT’LL TAKE FOREVER TO GET IT TO YOU. LET ME PULL THOSE LETTERS BACK OUT. OH WAIT. I DID LAUNDRY AND SOME UNDERWEAR THATS DRY, FELT HARD, OH WELL, WAIT A SECOND, K

I HAD TO FOLD SOME T-SHIRTS. ALL MY SOCKS ARE STILL DAMP. 

YOU CAN USE MY CONTRACT TO SHOW THAT I ENLISTED IN TEXAS AND HOWS THIS

*On a separate sheet my dad wrote a detailed note for my mom to give to someone to confirm that he did want to buy a house. He writes “I AM ALIVE AND WELL.” and “PLEASE ACCEPT THIS PAPER”, then he signed it with his scribble signature, and underneath it wrote his name in print and added “1st SQUADRON 10th CAVALRY HEADQUARTERS TROOP (I have no clue what this means)*

HOW’S THAT? HOPE I SPELLED EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. IM ALMOST READY WITH A DESIGN TO COVER THE OTHER TATTOOS ON MY LEFT FOREARM.

I JUST FINISHED LOOKING OVER ALL THOSE LETTERS YOU SENT FOR ME

IM BACK! I GOT SLEEPY SO I TRYED TO LAY DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT. NO SLEEP. I DONT THINK. I DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH WATER TO WASH MY DCV’S AND A PAIR OF BDV’S. BESIDES FOR DRINKING WATER, BUT WE HAVE TO CONSERVE IT.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE RUMORS. TOMORROW WE’LL BE LEAVING FOR THE IRAN/IRAQ BORDER TO DO “PEACE KEEPING” FOR 3 TO 6 mths. OTHERS SAY THAT THE 4ID (i think is what this says) GENERAL WANTS TO KEEP US HERE TILL NOV., THATS WHEN 1 CAV WILL COME TO REPLACE US. WHILE OTHERS SAY WE MIGHT LEAVE BY JUNE. NOTHINGS FOR SURE.

SMALLER RUMORS FLOATING AROUND THE SITE ARE; RAMSEY AND SFC BACON ARE SLEEPING TOGETHER. SGT SIREK HAS PLANS TO TAKE NIETO AS HIS APPRENTICE AND PADIWAN LEARNER OF THE DARK SIDE. LITTLE BLACK ARNOLD IS MILITARY INTELLIGENCE FOR SPECIAL FORCES OPERATING UNDER COVER A SURVEILLENCE AS PART OF

*the rest of the page is blank*

IM BACK. TODAY IS THE 27th. I GOT BACK TO THE LITTLE CAMP AREA ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO. I LEFT YESTERDAY MORNING TO, WELL, AS PART OF DE-CON (DE-CONTAMINATION) MISSION. HERES THE INFORMATION THAT I GATHERED.

A SITE HAD BEEN FOUND THAT WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND 1-10 WAS APPOINTED TO GO TO THE SITE AND DE-CON THE CIVILIANS THAT WERE GOING TO OPEN THEM. AS IT TURNS OUT THE CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN DE-LAYED AND WOULD BE SET BACK 1 DAY.

THE NBC TEAM THAT I WAS WITH WERENT PREPARED TO STAY OVER NIGHT AND AS FORCASTED BY SSG MINOR WE MIGHT HAVE HAD TO STAY 3 TO 4 DAYS. EVERYBODY WAS PISSED.

LATELY ITS BEEN GETTING REALLY COLD AT NIGHT AND WE JUST HAPPENED TO BE NEAR A RUNNING RIVER. SO THE, ITS ABOUT 9 O’CLOCK AND IM BEAT, NO SLEEPING BAG OR ANYTHING TO COVER UP WITH AND I DECIDE TO TRY AND SLEEP. I GET AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE AND I GET ATTACKED BY MOSQUITOS. NOW IM PISSED SO I DECIDED TO JUST TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT. ABOUT 10PM ONE OF THE HEMTT (this might just say “hemi”, I don’t know) FUELERS SHOWS UP AND SGT TORRES SAYS HE HAS EVERYBODYS SLEEPING BAG! THE SITES ABOUT 45 MINS AWAY AND THEY LEFT SOMETIME MID AFTERNOON TO GET OUR SHIT, I HATE THESE PEOPLE.

RIGHT NOW ITS 9:01 PM AND ITS 11:02 AM YOUR TIME. I MISS YOU.

RIGHT NOW IM GOING TO ADDRESS AN ENVELOPE AND HAVE IT READY TO SEND TOMMOROW THE 28th. IM SORRY IF IT SEEMS THAT IM NOT WRITING VERY OFTEN. FOR A WHILE WE COULDN’T. AND NOW THAT IT SEEMS WE MIGHT BE HERE A LITTLE WHILE, THEYVE KEPT ME REALLY BUSY. LET ME ADDRESS THE ENVELOPES (he drew a star here)

ALL DONE. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE HOUSE A LOT TODAY AND YESTERDAY. IM SURE BY THE TIME THIS LETTER REACHES YOU, YOU’LL HAVE EITHER GOTTEN IT OR GAVE IT UP. IM O.K. WITH EITHER DECISION YOUVE MADE.

YOUVE KEPT THIS FAMILY TOGETHER, AND THAT MAKES ME PROUD. YOUR SMART, ATTRACTIVE AND FUNNY. AND YOU DONT TAKE ANY SHIT FROM ANYBODY. I LOVE YOU.

I HOPE THAT OUR DAUGHTER TURNS OUT TO BE LIKE YOU.

I GUESS ILL MAIL THIS TOMORROW, FIRST THING, SO

EVER YOURS

EVER MINE

*my dad signed it with his scribble, and wrote his name under it. under that are hearts and x’s with my mom’s name and then my name under hers.*

So we need to talk

[naturenaruto]

o.O so something ive just recently found to be Actually Helpful is that intstead of ranting and raving™️ (which isnt a bad thing or a thing to be ashamed/guilty of but) but like instead of doing it at a specific person or group (like instead of an individual person like a politician or a group like an entire political party) instead of going at the individual Thing,,,,going off about an idea or concept itself is way more helpful and constructive imo and i end up feeling way better in the long run ,,,,,

ie instead of spending massive amounts of time and energy directing hate to a specific person,,,,instead i think abiut like what /thing/ that person did and think/talk about that instead. ita rly helpful bc it seperates that one person from whst im mad about so that i feel like if anyone else ever does the same thing id ont have to rehash it over and over in a perpetual cycle of unending rage like its helped my internal rage alot i think?? bc now i can be like well that thing they did....is Wrong and i KNOW its Wrong and rather than just being like 'o i hate this person etc~' i can be like i hate this thing that they did, and at the same time acknowledge the person did that thing and that i know that thing is wrong and its been helping for me bc rather than feeling weird about it later like ~ohh maybe i was too mean/bad/hateful to them and now iiiiiiiim the one feeling like i did soemthing wrong ,,,,,,now i can be like this thing here....its a badwrong thing and this person did this thing and therfore this person did something badwrong. and i know they did. and they know that i know that what they did is wrong and im saying it. and theres a point to saying it and to knowing, bc alot of bad ppl dont want you to even be aware that what theyre doing is wrong or they wanna act like your reaction was just as bad or worse etc, making you feel guilty/gaslighting all The Usual, but as long as you can be like this thing here, its wrong, and this person, did the wrong thing, so thats why im mad.

its just helpful to point of the...,,,,point of your rage and to seperate it from who youre mad at so that it doesnt seem like youve just got this personal vendetta against someone and thats why ur mad its like no ur mad bc they did this thing, and so thats why.

maybe veryvery helpful for anyone who often feels worse/guilty after getting mad when ppl do bad things to them, put the emphasis on the action and then point out that they did that action, rather than making personal attacks on the indivudal themselves which might end up making you seem like the asshole or taking a cheap shot and could end up distracting from what they did.

put all the focus on the bad thing they did, be clear, concise, avoid verbal attacks on anything not related to the wrong thing they did

keep the focus on their action and not on your reaction

hmph every now and then i find it funny how men think it’s okay to ghost you and then try to make contact with u again as if they’re that special that you’ll make time for them as if you don’t have anyone else or anything else in your life . as if it’s not possible that you’ve realized how worthless they are of your time and company fnfnfjsnsks like when i think about it more i realized it’s rlly egotistical tbh like they expect you’re just gonna be ready at any moment to accept them back into your life bc they think they’re that special ... even tho they took advantage of you and never explained why they left u hanging multiple times :/ stupid stupid
