#i have to go grocery shopping

[headlamprey]

[mrsoharaa]

[towersofpaperbacks]

no fate crueller than waiting for someone to text you back and suddenly getting texts from everyone you know but them... but i'm being so strong about it

headcanon that Ghost doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission. Military vehicles are all automatic, and he’d never had a reason or opportunity to learn, so he just… hadn’t. At least, not well. He’d driven stick shifts enough to understand the basics and not stall every time he got behind the wheel, but it’s not something he’s super comfortable with

When he retires (or is forced to retire), the car that Price sets him up with is a manual. He makes it back to the flat (that Price also set him up with) with no small amount of frustration, and he spends the rest of the following week in a state of near-paralysis

If it were just the car, it would be fine. He’s not afraid of learning new things, and he’s definitely not one to let his own pride get in the way of being a functional adult human being. But it’s not just the car. It’s the disruption to his whole routine, the stark unfamiliarity of civilian life, the fundamental alteration of his entire life being uprooted and hastily replanted. The car is just the physical embodiment of it

He’s avoids driving as much as possible, because he hates the reminder that things are different. If he just stays in his flat, he can almost pretend that he’s just on leave. So he lives on take-out, he doesn’t furnish his flat past the bare essentials, he doesn’t let himself settle in

It all comes to a head when Johnny tries to visit on his leave. He asks Simon to pick him up at the airport, and Simon… can’t. He’s built such a mental barrier around his car, the physical manifestation of everything slipping out of control in his life, and he just… can’t

He calls Johnny, who’s obviously still at the airport if the background noise is any indication, and he pours it all out. The empty flat, the constant take-out, the unmoored feeling, and above all, the fucking car. He’s scared, he’s alone, he’s in over his head, and it’s the first time he’s admitted any of it. When he finishes his outpouring of uncharacteristic emotion, Johnny just says, “I’ll help you buy a new car,” like it’s that easy, like that will solve everything

And it does, because the car was never just a car. Johnny cashes in all of his built-up leave time and helps Simon pick out a new (automatic transmission) car. He helps Simon shop for furniture, even if it takes all day and they both leave the store frustrated with nothing to show for it. He helps Simon stock his pantry with ingredients, snacks, and pre-prepared meals, because some days are worse than others. He helps Simon get his feet underneath him, because it’s something he’s never had to do before

He never drives a manual transmission again and he thinks that maybe that’s okay

Notable reactions I've gotten as a museum docent who wears full-on Victorian clothing every day, but not as a work thing; that's just how I dress

(museums in my area being pretty lenient on aesthetics as long as you're decent for public activities)

"Are you in period attire?" This is probably the most common; I always wonder what they think about seeing one (1) staff member in historical clothing and Literally Nobody Else, but I get the assumption. normally I say "not for work; this is just my clothing" and steer the conversation back towards the history at hand

"Reeeeeally?" [disbelieving and slightly smug look]

"So like, at the grocery store?" "Yep!" [two full rooms of guided tour pass] "Wait, like, running errands, too?" "Yes." [remainder of the tour passes] "Oh come on, that has to be a costume! Let me take your picture!"

"So what do you normally? Like what's your normal job?" This one confused me- even the actually costumed Freedom Trail tour guides are paid professionals. I don't know if he assumed everyone Dressed Funny was a volunteer or what

[a man has his camera pointed in my direction while I'm talking. thinking he's trying to photograph the object next to me, I move aside to give him a clearer shot] [he follows me with his camera, takes my picture, and I see it on social media the next day. the object is not in it; it's just me. no permission was asked- he doesn't legally have to, but come on, man]

"Yo, I love you guys' tours!" This was shouted to me on the street while I wandered over to get Tatte on my break, so not technically at work. I WAS a bit surprised still- none of the costumed tour guides around do Victorian that I've seen, and it just looks so monumentally different from 18th century that I struggle to see how they could get mixed up. but that's just me being like those XKCD scientists, I guess

I went on a long donkey ride earlier this month to go offer my New Year wishes to some distant neighbours up on the plateau and it was such a nice little journey! We saw a doe at one point, but not a single car due to the state of the roads, and as a result Pirlouit was very serene. I loved watching the landscape between his long floppy ears.

forgot i had some old backlog or whatever..

(to know more about the story and the calendar on pre-order check out previous posts!)

August’s big thing is actually something they did many times already, but in the comfort of their own environment. This time, Allura booked their performance, one of her favorites, for a party - proud friend as she was, never shutting up about how many competitions they won her.

The standing ovation they get, seems accurate for the work they both put into getting there.

maybe possibly the worst feeling is when you want to be doing something or watching and looking at something or finding something but there is nothing and you can’t do the anything so you have to sit here boiling water in your own brain until it starts boiling over and getting all itchy

[bruciemilf]

I can’t explain how fucking inconvenient a lack of local transport is

[xxplastic-cubexx]

Toph: this field trip is boooring

Katara: this is not a field trip, we’re grocery shopping

Toph: then why did you invite me?

Katara: I didn’t. I told you not to come with me and you said “fuck you I do what I want” and followed me here

I want to read about Jamie courting the hell out of Roy, wining and dining him, bringing him coffee in the morning, leaving him pastries on his desk with a sweet post it note, buying him flowers, making him hella flustered and panicky at the lack of control because that's always been Roy's role when dating someone

[daffi-990]

I’m in that weird, mood? I guess, where I don’t want to read fan fiction … I want to watch it.
