those newer fans can't possibly understand, having years of super dramatic and depressing depictions of stanley pines' fake death, only for us to get a silly straw dummy and the worst acting stan has done in his entire life

(altho i suppose months of everyone hc-ing that ford wore a turtleneck 24/7 because he's ashamed of his scars, only for us to get all-star tattoo-ed comes pretty close)

also an au where gf cops were slightly more competent and stan ends up being the prime suspect in his own murder because a man mysteriously dies after meeting his estranged twin who suddenly is inviting people to his murder hut....

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.

See, it’s not that I hate fun, it’s that I can believe everything you say or nothing you say. I can’t recognize you’re kidding when you sound serious. So irl if you could just tell me a joke is incoming, I’ll prepare to laugh. Putting on a silly voice or making a silly face may also help.

If I don’t laugh, I apologize. I may also not have gotten the joke. I’ll let you know when I do. It may be a while.

It also may not have been funny. You’re gonna have to determine that for yourself if you want an answer anywhere in the next 10-25 years.

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...
