#i was being too nice

[addsalwayssick]

James Potter hated himself. He hated himself because of how he felt about his best fucking friend.

See, behind in love was a little bit funny. You want to be around that person all the time. You could never get sick of them. Your heart hurts when they’re hurt and all you want to do is hug and kiss them.

You imagine yourself in another universe with them. One where you’re together, because there’s one out there like that. You think about everything you could’ve done differently to make them like you more. How you could become more attractive in the eyes of them.

Sirius Black was flawless. He was smart. He was tall. He was strong and sharp and he looked like a Greek God. James wanted nothing else except him.

He could imagine a thousand lifetimes they could’ve had and yet there wasn’t anything in this one. He wanted it. He yearned for it.

James and Sirius were loose with each other. They always had their arms around each other, always saying they loved each other, giving each other numerous compliments. There was a difference though. James was in love, and Sirius wasn’t.

Well Sirius was in love. Just not with him. Sirius was in love with a nice lady named Mary.

James liked Mary, but God was he jealous of her. He hears Sirius talk about Mary, saying things about ‘She’s so funny, so smart. She’s gorgeous too. She cares, you know?’

And all James can think is, ‘Holy fuck. What about me?’ And his heart clenched every single time he had to hear him talk about Mary.

“Isn’t she lovely?” Sirius asked James as they sat in class looking at Mary.

“Yeah sure Pads.” James said, his stomach dropping.

“Look at her hair! It seems so soft,” Sirius thought aloud.

James immediately reached his hand up to feel his own hair. His hair was soft too.

“You haven’t ever told me about any birds. Besides Lily in first year,” Sirius prompted suspiciously. “Are you…you know.”

“Queer?” James snapped. “Yeah I am.”

Sirius put his hands up. “Just wondering, man. Let me know when you find a guy…unless you already have..?”

James didn’t answer right away and Sirius gasped. “You do! Who? Is it Remus? Pete?”

“God, just leave me be!” James hissed, pushing himself away from the table, walking out of the class. He walked himself into the bathrooms. He sat on the floor, and cried.

Sirius walked in a few minutes later. “Prongs? What’s going on?”

“I’m in love with you.” James told him sadly.

“What?”

“I’m in love with you.”

“James…I’m not…” Sirius said remorsefully.

“Yeah. I know.” James said, his voice rough and cracking. He put his head on the bathroom tiles as he heard Sirius leave.

Over the next few weeks, people became confused. Had there been a fight between Sirius and James? Why was James actively avoiding Sirius? What had Sirius done?

Sirius had kept trying to talk to James, to sit by him, anything, but James couldn’t deal with it. He couldn’t. Knowing that he was going to treat him differently.

“What?” James finally snapped as Sirius followed him in the halls.

Sirius flinched, and James instantly felt bad. “I just- I don’t want to lose you James.” Sirius said.

“You already have, I think.” James said as his heart plummeted. He knew it broke when it hit the floor.

“But James- I can’t- I can’t lose you!” Sirius cried, his voice rough.

James shook his head sadly. “I’m sorry, Sirius. But I can’t do it. I can’t.”

Sirius let out a sob. “James-“

And James made himself walk away.

Later on, Sirius and Remus started dating and James didn’t eat for a week. He wanted to hear about the other universes. He wanted Sirius to know how much he’d hurt him, just by not loving him the way he needed. The way that he loved him, but not like that.

James married Regulus Black when he was 25 years old. He loved Regulus, he did. Just not the way he once loved his older brother. Part of him always felt bad about it.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."

So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.

And also...

My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.

It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.

So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!

And I really am feeling very good about doing it.

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

Lmao OMFG Martin. He's now confirmed to have been jealous of

- (possibly lesbian?) Cop for daring to have private conversations with Jon

- literal embodiment of death Jon has only metaphorically met in a coma-dream

- lady he talked to for half an hour, once

Truly he is the "you know other people" meme

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

dads and the pet they didnt want

[chiyana]

this is the stupidest crossover possible but I want Tim to make House his doctor

yes that House

why? He needs someone who is very good, will not give up or send Tim out to a different specialist just because his medical condition is difficult, will not be overly concerned about the danger Tim puts himself in, and will lie on Tim's medical records AND to Batman/Bruce Wayne/all of the Bats without hesitation or fear.

House is and will do all of those things without hesitation. He has no shame, no boundaries, he WILL get into a public fight with Bruce Wayne if it means keeping that man out of his patient's (and House's) business. He will help Tim lie to and gaslight the rest of his family without hesitation.

in exchange, Tim is his favorite patient. Not because they get along, necessarily, Tim is a know-it-all little shit and they constantly bicker and House hates how practically every facet of Tim's existence is a lie (and Tim thinks House is a smug know-it-all jackass who is needlessly cruel and callous bc he thinks the world owes him and never delivers just bc he's in pain, news flash a lot of people are in pain and manage not to be assholes) BUT, 1, Tim brings him really interesting cases and problems, and 2, Tim NEVER lies to House about his medical conditions or what he was doing when they happened.

He lies about literally almost everything else under the sun TO everyone else, but he is 100% completely upfront and honest about his medical history and what is going on with him with House.

admittedly it takes a while for House to realize Tim ISN'T lying to him because some of the shit he says is completely insane ("the vigilante thing is pretty obvious but what do you MEAN you got the Apocalypse virus TWICE, AND SURVIVED, AS A FOURTEEN-FIFTEEN YEAR OLD")

but once he realizes Tim doesn't ever lie to him, he becomes House's favorite patient because at least TIM gives him all of the data he needs as best he's able the moment he asks. At least House doesn't have to waste his time following up on bogus information or figuring out the truth, he can just get right into the meat of the medical issue at hand.

also it's so fun to lie directly to Batman's face, know the man knows, and know he can't do anything about it

Shaak Ti and her tiny charges join the Hades AU, complete, with colourful little highlights and a dialogue box this time (and an alternate version under the cut where I tried my hand at taking the shade/Force-ghost aspect a little further than I did with Fives)

"There is no doubt that Grogu is an exceptional youngling, but I cannot take him on as a Padawan no matter how much I may wish that I could. My duty is to look after the clones as they grow and learn - we cannot just abandon them once their war is over. As a Mandalorian you must understand this. However, I would gladlyassist in your quest in any other way I can."

Linear timeline who? Rex can have a mighty white beard and then look spry and blond simultaneously, there is teenager Omega and Boba sitting on his throne on Tatooine, so just don't worry about it XD Have three of my clone OCs as baby cadets and enjoy how cute they are instead.
