they are terrible for this you have a problem and told them and they make fun of you? that is mean as fuck people who are supposed to care about you should want you to not feel horrible but maybe the friends feel badly for you with that look? like sympathetic?
yeah, but i'm... well not okay with this exactly, but i'm glad that they're respecting these boundaries at least. i'm used to being made fun of though lol, i'll take that then ig
and yeah my friends definitely feel sympathetic towards me, though probably don't know how to react bc they don't quite understand? which again is fair, these thoughts are irrational after all (at least the feeling dirty and scratching/hitting part, though this has probably resulted bc of me not establishing boundaries much earlier where i started to feel uncomfortable with it, which is a valid thing to feel ofc but didn't realise at the time)
#-johnny's asks#fun fact i only recently discovered that a nickname from my mum which i always took as ironic isn't meant ironically at all#they always called me “the brain” and yeah... i thought they were calling me stupid backhandedly but no#apparently that was serious#i called her out on it and she was genuinely confused like huh?#i know my mum she meant it#idk what goes on in their heads sometimes#at the same time teasing me for not being good at calculating in my head... well... i wonder how that misunderstanding came up lmao#what i wanna say is that they don't think it's that serious for me#which ig isn't as much anymore#but it's often that i feel left alone with these things when i could use a helping hand#but emotions aren't really a thing here so...#probably contradicted myself there a hundred times but it's all very complicated#i love my mum but also sometimes she has her moments where she's just being unfair without her realising#and she's under a lot of stress like fr#but when i try to help her she blocks it... unless she wants to complain#then i sit there for hours and hours and listen#which i also called her out on bc she never thanked me for doing that for her for four years and even staying home studying#and saving money through that as well#but she only thanks me when i call her out... which is sad but well it is what it is#i say after that rant wellllll#hello there tmi#sorry anon thank you for your support and concern <3

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great
#the hunger games#finnick odair#katniss everdeen#annie cresta#johanna mason#listen he's trying#he's never done anything like this before#he needs a minute#finnick ringing his mum like “MUM THE BABY IS CRYING ALL NIGHT WHAT AM I DOING WRONG 😭”#“mum he reached for my lobster can he have it” “finnick hes 6 weeks old”#“mum is he meant to be throwing himself off every surface??” “i mean you did so take that as you will” “NOT HELPFUL”#“can i take him swimming yet?? i want to show him the sharks 😁😁” “finnick hes 2 months old ffs”#Annie's just watching the chaos and texting Finnick's mum like “sorry mum dont stress it I got this”#Finnick's mum just sat there like “at least one of you knows wtf is going on”#jokes on her annie just has a million parenting books she flips through to answer her questions before heading to google#annies search history includes 'how old til baby can visit ocean'#'can i make baby food out of anything'#'how to tell my husband that hes doing fine but holding the baby like that is going to send me into a coma'

We do have electric kettles but unless you were a dedicated tea drinker or enjoy pour over coffee (compared to other popular extraction methods). Not many have one.
Also we have plug covers.
Never said you guys didn't have kettles said you didn't have good ones which is true bc the voltage in your plugs is lower then the Irish/UK plugs it means the kettles take longer to boil and becomes more of an inconvenience i also never said you guys didn't have plug covers I just said you have to buy them separately they're not apart of the plug like the irish/UK plugs
#ask#anon#sorry friend your ask did bug me a bit#bc when i was writing the ask i specifically thought to myself#cant be one of those people who say America has no kettles bc i know thats not true#but yeah i know a lot of people will also say that most Americans are coffee drinkers and instant coffee isn't as popular#which is true#but also theres other things kettles can be used for from making food to hot water bottles#quickly boiled water will always have its uses in a house#but why buy a kettle when microwaving the water or even the stove is faster#funny enough i actually learnt this from an American my ex friends mum really loved her kettle#said the ones back home were slow and also sometimes badly designed?#dont know what she meant by that if anyone has any clues

donna "it was never that far from the surface mate" noble not having a worry in the world leaving 14 and yaz alone in the living room at night to finish their movie while she goes to bed entirely unaware of the tragic lesbian romance of the century that those two concluded about an hour before donna re-met the doctor
#rose having pried into the situation and gotten like a hundred 'it's Complicated's from yaz looking at them like..................#donna meanwhile 'that boy is gay and that girl is a lesbian it's just two homos being homos you know'#rose 'i dont think those are the words you want to use mum'#'what is it offensive?'#'well yeah but thats not what i meant'#in the end donna is right of course she neednt worry#in the end rose is ALSO right of course theres gay drama going down 100%#i just think it's interesting that like. youve got all these different interpretations of the doctor right?#theyre like this whole spectrum of things. theyre the light and every colour is a different doctor but they all exist next to each other#simultaneously#and in this specific setup the way that donna is both right and not#and the way that 14 exists and 13 exists and theyre not the same person but also they are#its very holding two things at once#wait does donna know abt yaz bc of the metacrisis thing? i dont really understand the memory sharing#however if she 'cant remember' bc it's like 'looking into a furnace' im just gonna take that at face value bc it fits my purposes better

really short and silly munson family piece, inspired by something that happened to me literally an hour ago
cw: spiders
---
Eddie reared back with a yelp of alarm. "Oh my god- nope. Wayne!"
Abandoning the washing basket, and whatever organs had just fallen out of his ass, Eddie stomped around the side of the trailer, checking fruitlessly over his shoulder like he was being followed.
The porch lights were warm, orange and familiar, and they helped him to breathe easier now that he wasn't alone in the dark, face to face with a demon.
"What're you shriekin' about?" Wayne was settled on the front steps, smoke curling from a lit cigarette.
"There is a big fucking spider and I almost walked directly- ah!" Eddie flinched when something brushed his jaw, slapping aggressively at his neck and face until he realised it was just his hair. He sighed, relieved. "I almost walked right into it."
Wayne eyed him, exhaling smoke through his nose before nodding towards the corner Eddie had just come from. "You need me to kill it?"
He opened his mouth, prepared with an emphatic yes please, but paused. It's not like it had gone out of it's way to attack him, Eddie had just had the misfortune of almost walking directly through it - would have if he hadn't turned the torch on when he had.
"Well, it's kind of just minding it's own business."
"So I don't need t'kill it?"
Eddie glanced over his shoulder, wrinkling his nose at the inky shadows. His skin was still crawling, every unexpected brush belonging to a phantom arachnid. But a quiet sort of guilt pooled in the back of his throat, bittersweet and cold, at the idea of killing it just because he was scared. He shook his head, scratching his arm. "No."
He shuffled on the spot, hoping if he looked pathetic enough his uncle would take pity on him.
"Weren't you doing something?"
"Can't you finish hanging it out? I'm still recovering from seeing my life flash before my eyes."
"They're your sheets, Ed. I just washed 'em."
"But Wayne." He whined, entirely unrepentant about the childish nature of his behavior.
Wayne Munson remained unmoved, however, and Eddie was forced to brave the washing line all over again. God, he missed the time of about 10 minutes ago when he hadn't been aware of the hell spawn watching him mutter about pegs.
#i know steve is the one canonically scared of spiders while eddie literally has a tattoo of one on his chest#BUT i figured eddie suited my dramatics more#the actual real life event was a 20 minute ordeal in which i attempted to convince mum to let me abandon the task she'd given me#while being increasingly dramatic about how close i'd come to death until she hit me with 'what you want me to do it?'#thus reminding me she has literal arachnaphobia so. no i didn't want her doing it. so i threw her husband under the bus#and she just made me go out there anyway#i'm so glad we have two washing lines even though i had to cram everything onto it bc it meant i didnt have to be near the spider#which was literally the size of a 50 cent coin#and i almost walked straight into it - i turned my torch on and immediately screamed that's how close i was it was TERRIFYING#eddie munson#wayne munson#stranger things#stranger things fanfiction#eddie munson fanfiction#my writing#also yes i was hanging out the washing at night

ever so slightly worried I’ll be insufferable next week, I’m going to Cardiff and I’ll try not to be the Leo pointing meme everywhere
I was already so bad in London, I’d point out show promo ads on the tube to my cousin and start telling her all about bands I think she could live without hearing about, and we’d look at a poster advertising a show at another venue and I’d tell her about some historic show that happened there in like 1977 and then we’d see some big tour announcement on the side of a wall and I’d be all like do you want an unsolicited ten-minute long history of this artist’s successes in the charts
I’m terrible about it, I have to try not to wear down my best friend next week, who is doing Cardiff with me very graciously, knowing what fresh hell that might entail for her
#You know how they say things like ‘believe it or not your friends are your friends because they like you#And if they didn’t like you or found you unbearably annoying they wouldn’t hang around’?#I really test the limits of that by just. Being as annoying as possible and praying that people don’t secretly get tired.#Because I would wear people the fuck down if I didn’t have the self-awareness to shut up at the right time#You’ve got to give people breathers. Even if they love you this can be too much#My own mum can find it overwhelming but that is also a very funny story to tell and it makes everything think my mum is sweet and cool#So it’s not exactly meant to be a sob story; you can go ahead and laugh; bless her she tries to keep up for my sake

Hi btw being trans does not automatically grant you supernatural understanding of all esoteric trans knowledge. You actually need to put effort into learning or put effort into keeping quiet about things that don't pertain to your specific experience
#my cishet brother has a better grasp of transgender theory than my transgender bisexual sister because he like... did some basic research#meanwhile my sister confidently told me 'oh youre nit trans youre neutral' the ither week and i almost slapped her#miss maam i am nonbinary and i have been out as some kind of trans for ten years i will politely ask you to shut up ONCE#also in no universe am i 'neutral' but even if i WAS by definition i would not be identifying wholly with my assigned sex#WHICH WOULD MAKE ME TRANSGENDER ANYWAY#apparently shes been portraying herself as the only trans in the family despite the fact that ive BEEN OUT FOR A DECADE#like ms maam when i came out you were TEN YEARS OLD. i taught you what transgender meant! i know for certain i taught you better#i DEFINITELY taught you better than to TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE#like okay i guess if youre not into research and history and you just wanna exist without having yo be an expert that is fine#but DO NOT present yourself as an expert. you are an expert in YOUR BODY and YOUR EXPERIENCES#like. shes got severe 'no one has ever done it like me. i am the weirdest girl at the party' syndrome#while also having the personality of an edgy piece of toast#i love her but i have. been very angry at her and i cant even say anything about it#like. baby girl you are a very generic case of autism and transgender and bisexuality. youre not the most random unique case#'how could you understand?!' meanwhile im sitting there wildly neuridivergent and transgender and i got eldest daughter/third parent trauma#like hmm yeah i wonder what id know about it. i wonder how i could possibly understand. i wonder how i could possibly offer relevant advice#i give up#shes a fucking edge lord and our mum feeds into it rather than being like 'some of your experiences are actually universal'#anyway rant over#my brother is an angel and i eould die for him. worlds best ally#he has never once misgendered me or made me feel weird about it. unlike some other siblings who demands i punch her if she gets it wrong#like... no? stop being weird about it youre making me more uncomfortable than using the wrong pronoun did#mums like that too 'oh i messed up hit me!' like no#how old are you?#grow up im not gonna hit you back why would hurting you make me feel better? does hurting people make you feel better?#cause that sounds like something you should see a licensed professional about. i dont care if its a therapist or a bartender#just do it away from me#rant#personal#delete later

You know you've fucked up when your child swears that they'll never parent like you
#vent.txt#home doesnt feel like home#my mum got angry at me for putting the wrong amount of oil in the pan and not reading the recipe#even though she just said “put *some* oil in the pan” so i thought it meant a drizzle or smthn#and then she proceeds to say stuff like “i dont know why i ask for your help”#i always say im not gonna help her again but i just want her to say shes proud of me#she never does with any of my interests#she just says “yeah it was good” after a ballet show and “I dont get it but whatever you like” when i show her art or poems i made#and she layghs at me whenever i share my interest of mha or musicals#“im sorry its just so ridiculous i cant help it”#or just “i really honestly dont care can you just leave me be?”#why does my best friend's mum feel more like my mum than she does?

does anyone know what the hell my mum's talking about when she says CERN had to shutdown/cancel an experiment/test twenty years ago because there were portals appearing in the sky above it?
#obviously I know CERN didn't create portals or anything of the sort but I tried googling variations of#''CERN cancel sky anomaly'' and ''CERN sky Conspiracy'' and ''CERN 2000 Sky conspiracy'' to figure out what she meant#and got nothing so I have no idea what she's talking about which means I can't debunk it to her#(if you want to know what my mum's like she now thinks ancient tibet or india or something had particle accelerators (like cern)#because of some relief she saw (I think when she went to tibet last month?))

sometimes i think about the fact my grandparents literally overnight just cut us off and im like. how did u even do that. does it torment you
#eeaao's 'how did you let me go so easily' moment. like i dont let myself even THINK about this too often#bc i immediately beat myself back with the 'if it's hard for you then imagine how hard it is for mum. her PARENTS cut her off'#but like. idk. my nan i couldn't give less of a shit about which is something i always find so interesting#bc even as a child with NO basis for it or any understanding of her behaviour both past and present i still wasn't Comfortable around her#like children are smart actually. i just Knew her vibes were off and i Knew my mum was weird when she was around#like i truly dont think i ever loved my nan even when she was a very frequent part of my life#but my grandad? i ADORED him. id see him multiple times a week and he's the kindest man ive ever met#and hannah what i told you about my mum saying certain people have magnetic auras THAT WAS ABOUT HIM#like i cant actually put into words what it was about him but people just wanted to know him and spend time with him#but he was weak and let my nan walk all over him and when push came to shove he chose her and now ive not spoken to him in 3 years#& i KNOW he loved me. he thought the world of me like it's a bitter unspoken thing between me & my sister that we KNOW i was his favourite#he used to buy me egg butties at agricultural shows when my mum said no and specifically ask for two eggs#he used to sit and eat his soup with me when he came over to do work at the house#he used to play with me. he used to smile all the time. i can so clearly hear the way he'd go ''iya [my name]' with his proper rural accent#or how he'd tell anyone who would listen 'she's tough as old boots that one'#and i could make him laugh like NO ONE else could and he'd light up and go 'give over' and he genuinely enjoyed my company#i KNOW HE DID. and i havent spoken to him in 3 years. he'll be dead soon#and i cant talk to my mum about it bc it's her DAD it is so much worse for her and i cant talk to my sister about it#bc she wasn't close with him like i was and she just shuts the conversation down and those are the only two people#who know my grandad and know what he meant to me so im just here like. he literally stopped speaking to me overnight#i stopped hearing from him i stopped meeting up with him im so so angry with him the love is still there i dont know where to put it now#why couldnt he stay. why did he pick her when she's a loveless void of inhumanity. why werent we enough#hella goes home#my grandparents on my dad's side are also not in the picture funnily enough but idgaf about them. she got that grandparentless swag
