Thinkin bout my isat au now, I don't have much of an idea on it cuz tbf I barely changed anything other than well-- Odile is in pain now. Just thinking more bout scenarios that'd differ during the uhh... new loop+?????? How'd I even go about calling that new set of loops now?

Just that the most visible change would be on Odile who's now waaay more tired looking and a lil more slower than usual. So in a way her battle style becomes a lil bit like a glass cannon in that she hits HARD but takes time for her to get a hit in now. And as the loops go on, she becomes weaker on the defense department so she truly be a glass cannon. Odile also doesn't "level up" in this au too since she had already maxed her experience out, it's just that she's also slowly dying so to be fair-- Her exp is fine but her hp isn't and her lvl is being treated like a timer of her slowly approaching doom. So even if her levels lower, it won't really affect her experience and the spells she had already unlocked. To the Universe, she's still as experienced as a lvl 99 person, it's just that now she's becoming as fragile as someone lower leveled.

She retains her more powerful spells but using those spells would backfire on her and result in a recoil that ALSO hurts her, not as much as she damages the enemies, but a significant of her hp gets taken away still.

[danielnelsen]

the dogs go out to wee for the last time before bed around 10pm-12am each day and obviously it's terrible weather for that (we didnt quite get 100mm of rain today, but it was close and it's not getting any lighter anytime soon) so i finally got them to go out at 1am

georgie did what i expected of just barely stepping onto the grass and immediately coming back in

but billy had to do his usual routine of running all over the yard for about 5 minutes and he is the soggiest, saddest little creature ive ever seen

“Hey I wanted to say __ but I didn’t want to stress you out (again.)”

“Hey no stress! All good!”

“…well GOOD because I have been stressing myself about that for (months) awhile. But if it’s all good it’s all good. (I can tell my anxiety to shadduuuup about it if I know that directly.)”

[continues to resist the urge to send bird and cat memes and music covers]

(Wait until y’all actually feel comfortable talking without that Wall of social anxiety specifically around eachother, Tiger. Don’t abuse the dms. Patience. You at least know he won’t run away from you again. He showed up to your party and wore the bandana you threw at him playfully, and apparently did pay attention to what patterns you wear on your nicer clothes despite him getting more avoidant than ever when you do. Tell the dopamine to CHILL and BREATHE. Ya know. Like ya promised.)

After the dust from the Upside Down settles, and Steve gets his feet under him, he gets really into plants and gardening.

He fills his and Eddie's home with plants, as many as he can get his hands on, and he has outdoor plots that he tends to religiously.

He talks to the indoor plants, names them all. Eddie makes fun of him for it constantly, but really he finds it endearing.

Eddie doesn't understand the gardening as much- he's not as big on being outside and doing manual labour- but by god does he think it's hot seeing Steve get all sweaty pulling weeds in the summer.

Working in the garden calms Steve, it gives him a sense of purpose and fulfills his need to care for things. It feels good to get his hands dirty and he enjoys being able to see the (literal) fruits of his labour.

He has a huge vegetable garden- carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, even a pineapple plant. He got it as joke for Argyle, there is no way it should have survived in Indiana for so long, yet somehow it refuses to die.

Steve likes to cook, and he loves being able to feed the people he loves with food he grew himself. His pride and joy is a large blackberry bush that sits at the front corner of the house. It was the first outdoor plant he had, it came with the house, and it's what got him into gardening. He yells at the kids constantly for stealing all the ripe ones before he can pick them for a pie.

Steve also has some fairly impressive flower plots. He likes how they bring colour and life to the exterior of the house, and after everything they went through with the Upside Down, it's a way for Steve to reassure himself. The world isn't ending- as long as the flowers are growing, as long as there is plant life and bugs and weeds trying to get into places they shouldn't be, the world isn't ending.

He sets some chairs and a little table out by his flowers, for Eddie or the kids to sit at while he gardens. Eddie sits at the table and reads, or just watches Steve work.

The kids hang out in the yard sometimes, making noise and sneaking snacks off the plants when they think Steve isn't looking.

El learns how to make bee rest stops, and little butterfly feeders out of sponges, and starts leaving them on the porch, and in the corners of Steve's gardens.

Robin and Nancy come over often, and Nancy teaches Steve and Robin to make flower crowns, a skill that Eddie takes advantage of at every opportunity.

Steve likes that his garden can be a place his family can come to rest. That they can fill his life with their loud laughter and prove to him that, even after everything, they'll be alright.

Moving out of Toxic Environments Is a Catch 22.

That might sound a bit off. but let me explain.

up until the fall of 2006, my father was a Logger for a small local logging company, mainly truck driver but he’d go and chop trees and replant too. my mother was a stay at home mom for a while, then worked in a little Piercing Pagoda stall in the local mall until it shut down, and then became a school bus driver. Our family was functional, but there were still headbutting between my older brother and father since, you know, oldest son VS sire things, but usually nothing between my father and mother than would make me feel uncomfortable or even unsafe. From about 2007 onward, things changed when my father left the logging company to work for an old school friend of his who had started up a construction company. At first, it was okay. then suddenly, my father would start arguing with my mother over money--bills mainly. (Let me explain quickly how school bus drivers get paid. They get paid monthly, not weekly. I think it’s the same for teachers too, but don’t quote me. My Dad was getting paid weekly. Mom’s money went towards the end of month bills/start of month bills, while Dad’s money typically went toward mid month bills and groceries, or anything for us kids.)

I had a little brother, and when these would start up, I’d take him up to my room, close the door, turn on a movie, and turn up the volume to drown out the shouts.

Also in this time, I started writing fanfics. I was fairly active in my writing, even if at this time I had very few things posted. It was kinda cathartic for me. by the time I was in high school, i had gotten a little better with my writing, and was actively posting on a couple fic sites. I also became a target for my father’s beer fueled arguments, problem was most of the time I yelled back because I didn’t want to let him think I’d stand for him treating me like a verbal punching bag.

The worse he got, the more depressed my mother got, and the more I ended up taking care of the house and my brother on top of doing chores and such. Which, if I was focusing on my schoolwork, I didn’t focus on much because you know, school was important. Which got me yelled at because mom would say I didn’t clean when Dad would yell at her, and he would yell at me. and I’d yell back that I was doing my schoolwork. He’d even almost cost me a laptop I had bought myself for school because I told him I was doing homework and he could do the dishes after dinner, and he threw a cup down hard enough on the keyboard that a few keys broke.

He then also started to play on equipment auction sites, as well as spending money on things he didn’t need of these sites...

2020 rolled around, I had been graduated for 8 years, but still lived at home with them because I was a working part time with shit pay, and had a form of major asthma problem pop up that was only taken seriously when my lips started turning blue because I couldn’t properly breathe. I was just getting that under control, when my 15 year old niece ended up living with us. I gave her my room in the house, and lived in the camper... which had me feeling a little more independent from everyone else despite it being a small space. even with it not being the most well taken care off maintenance wise before I had moved in, it gave me friend to make friends with people on the internet and talk to them on and off.

Then finally in 2021, my boyfriend and I moved out, moving into my neice’s father’s singlewide, which while not the most amazing place because his anger issues had caused lots of holes as well as his inability to properly discipline his oldest son, gave me freedom to actually drop walls that I had been forced to have from the previous enviroment I had. Downside? My mother knew where we lived, and would constantly show up to both hang out at noon between runs, as well as when dad threw her out for a week in February of 2022 because of the ever worsening money issues of him spending money they needed for bills and taking care of animals on the farm on the auction sites, and mom having to scramble to get the money from their join savings and her private one to pay bills.

Then because that brother that was the neice who moved in in 2020 decided we couldn’t live in the single wide anymore, so we had to move in with my Bf’s parents until we got our current appartment...

Between 2020 and moving into this apartment in october 2022, I was fairly active with my writing and had a good writing bug going. then, suddenly... my writing bug... died.

I have so many ideas I WANT to write, but I can’t figure out HOW to write them in a way that makes sense with the stories I have going on! I going in and add one or two sentences or go through and edit again for the umpteenth time. Or I help a friend and my bf with their stories.

But my own creative juice for my stories? Dry since I’ve gotten a place where I feel safe from my toxic family. Is this a thing?

For the record, goat milk can totally taste like cow milk if you have spoiled goats. My old job’s goats used to eat more scrubby stuff, and as we improved their nutrition AND they were offered more choice plants and less rough feeds, their milk was *chef’s kiss* perfection. I would’ve drank it anyway, but even the boss lady, who was not that into it, started enjoying it in the end.

found goat milk and wheat ale at the store. theres no way im NOT making a white gilgamesh tonite

[dredshirtroberts]
