I was wondering, does Fiddleford still have a wife in your Halloween au? And if yes, does she know about him being a vampire?

I've been sitting on this ask for a bit, but I think I should finally answer.

In my AU, Fidds is actually pretty old-- not like ancient or anything, but surely a few centuries?

Anyway, so way back, when he was human, he did have a wife and a kid!! But when he got bit and became a vampire, he actually outlived them :(

He tries to think about them often, but it's definitely one of the things he chooses to erase when he creates the memory gun

Working with an ER has made me even less tolerant of the refusing medical help/workaholic tropes tho.

Turns out in real life when one person regularly goes above and beyond the scope of their job and does constant overtime and works through breaks and off the clock it creates the expectation that everyone in the department should be that productive and the department starts getting complaints about people being lazy and useless and time starts being budgeted with unpaid work as part of the plan and that's how you get a toxic work environment and a class-action lawsuit, kids!

And the medical thing...I had a coworker get sick during his shift, so I had to work extra to cover his duties. Normal. Expected. Inevitable, just happens sometimes that you get suddenly sick.

I also had to work extra to take care of him because he swore up and down he'd be fine in fifteen more minutes if he had some crackers for nearly five hours. Eventually I put my foot down and insisted that he check in to the ER because I found him lying in his car vomiting so hard he was physically unable to drive--and he STILL tried to talk me into "just gimme a few more minutes with Sprite and crackers and I'll be fine!"

If he'd been a normal fucking adult able to be honest about his physical state instead of someone terrified of seeming 'weak' everyone involved would have had a much easier night! His wife called in a panic because he had told her he was coming home hours ago! The "noooo I don't want to be a burden 🥺" shit is not cute or funny.

You are not asking for zero work to be done on your behalf when you do that--you are asking for the work to be done by someone unqualified who doesn't have the time for it! You are going to keep being sick and needing care, but at that point you're denying reality and offloading the responsibility for your care into other people.

It's crazy that this is the first snow of the season (and honestly the first time we've had snow in November in a few years) and it's just this. Ridiculous amount dumped on us. And possibly still more to come! Warning isn't over until Tuesday lol

The goal this evening is to unpack my rocks. I've moved long enough ago that I can't remember when, and yet the rocks are still on the bedroom floor.

The problem is they're just- there's a lot of them man. And I keep telling myself I'm going to get a really rigorous system going, but the best I've been able to do is put a bunch of sticky notes on the inside of the mineral boxes, and then duplicate them on the inside of the "Large Mineral Specimen" plastic box so I know which min box went where-

Also I went with cheap plastic boxes the first time I moved and that was a mistake because the lids don't even stay on. So at some point I need to fork over for Real Snap Lid Plastic Boxes...

Windsor & Sugden…

It’s the day of the official unveiling of the new garage sign which was renamed to Windsor & Sugden (Scott & Robert teasing Dawn & Katie about them wearing bikinis)! But before that, Katie continues to be a friend to jobless Dawn.

I try to keep a neutral tone when I talk to folks on here and the gc about Spider-Man, but honestly, I get so excited sometimes that I think it carries over to text
