#it 1am time to sleep lol

[coralsgrimes]

Sooo over the months I been typing these long ass coral life stories, very agitated may I add, but then the frustration wears off so I just been deleting the shite cuz why would anyone wanna read any of that.

Tho I have a fuck me story from today x.x

So imagine me just coral girlblogging making fun of Benny and then!!! A call! Sadly it was our lab technician and when he's calling it's gotta be real bad. But ye know there's this storm coming so maybe he just updating me about the department whatever they came up with??? Nooooo he did not xd

Lemme break it down for ye cuz like;

1. One of the cleaners walks by our cold room, feels that it's unusually warm around

2. No idea how long it took but the cleaner eventually tells the guard who comes by and is like oh it's fucking boiling

3. The guard calls our technician who comes by and decides the cold room is fucking broken

4. He calls me, while imma trying to girlblog, to come cuz it's a disaster

Sooo, I sent thousands of messages in our lab group chat asking who was the last one in the lab Saturday night and who's coming later today cuz I would appreciate the help. Still have no idea how long the cold room was boiling. Anyways it was me, the technician and later later later one other girl came by but she had her shite to do too so was not mucha help. We moved everything that was in there to freezers, cold rooms and fridges all over the building and in another fucking building cuz one thing about science - there's never enough space and so it happened that our cold room is the biggest in the building cuz we stock shit tons of media. And the problem is that the stuff there is big like bottles of reagents, media and I just made like a 200 fresh plates last week that might all be bin material at this point x.x so it was like impossible Tetris to put it all elsewhere lol and I had to make fucking lists of where each lil fucker went

Then I sent thousands of emails to PIs of the other lab groups in the building and everyone else in that circus to say yeee sorry to stuff yer fridge but our cold room is a sauna now soooo had no choice xd

And then, since cold room is a critical equipment, we called the service right, like to get to the shite and fix it they have to get on the roof cuz idk why but all the cold rooms in the building are like that apparently. So tonight/tomorrow it's stormy so no one is getting up that fucking roof, Tuesday maybe? Nope, they said MAYBE they can get someone to take a look on Friday....

Just so ye all know, the temperature in the cold room is supposed to be between 2 and 4 degrees. It was 26??? me think when I came, and then it was 39 when I was leaving xd it stinks and is so dirty I will probably have to deep clean it after it's fixed

And now, the storm is coming and I love rain on my roof windows but not the stormy about to kill me red weather alert rain and wind. Fun x.x

I do obviously blame Benny cuz the timing is absolutely not a coincidence lol I may make no sense but Imma so tired xd gotta come in late tomorrow as a treat and also after the worst alert is over xd if the power dies then I might even get tomorrow off cuz funny thing when there's no power they do have a generator back up, tho!! it can't power the whole building so if that happens they disconnect all equipment and all sockets and turn off the automatic lights and shite so that only freezers and fridges and incubators would take the power lol meaning no one on site. Let's pray actually 🙏 could use that lol

also known as ”local woman is roused to learn editing to deliver everyone this fandom classic” (the video's synced better on desktop)

transcription/video description under the cut:

[video description: a fan video/edit of amc’s ”interview with the vampire” by tumblr user @eternalstateofoctober (me!!) set to a shortened version of lenka’s ”everything at once”. the video clips are cut to the rhythm of the song and its changing lyrics. the song is catchy and upbeat with a light, bouncy rhythm and a whimsical but also slightly melancholic vibe at times. it has a steady beat with repeating piano notes and some xylophone. the video clips are muted so only the song is playing, save for a few voiceover lines and sound effects.

(instrumental intro, repeating piano notes)

the théâtre des vampires orchestra starts playing and another member checks the projector. a watermark with the username @eternalstateofoctober flashes on screen and disappears at the same time as a projector light flickers.

the thing about being a chronic insomniac and also the world’s lightest sleeper and staying in a thin-walled house with a bunch of other people. You don’t fall asleep until everybody stops making noise at night. And then you wake up the moment somebody makes a noise in the morning. and if this continues long enough something happens in your brain that the critics are saying is “not good”

[whentherewerebicycles]

sigh okay. we got to a 5am wakeup instead of 4am (because of the nap capping? no idea). he was really having a hard time settling so I finally offered him an ounce of formula to see if he was hungry. he drank it happily (point in favor of being hungry?) but also didn’t protest when I took the rest of the bottle away (point in favor of not being that hungry, as he will SCREAM if you remove the bottle before he’s done). I am reasonably sure he is getting enough calories during the day to sleep through the night, as he used to do that just fine with the swaddle, so I wonder if food was just an effective soothing mechanism to help him get drowsy enough to sleep again. also when I go in there at 4-5am he is shrieking with his eyes totally closed lol you would think he was asleep if he wasn’t emitting ear-piercing howls. what does it all mean. babies are a mystery!!!!!

Jason was drugged. So very drugged. Bruce could think of a handful of drugs but it was dangerous to speculate until he sees some blood work. Blood work that they’ll hopefully be able to get started as soon as they enter the cave. Until he found out Jason was in the clear, either the drug running out of his system of Bruce driving it out himself, Jason was completely out of it. 

Whatever Jason was dosed with hit him hard. Fast enough that he hadn’t made it home but just slow enough that he was able wedged himself between a wall and an air unit on the roof just blocks where his fight took place. How Jason was drugged was yet to be determined. His helmet was missing, lost in the fray or caught without it on, Bruce didn’t know. But he couldn’t rule out injections regardless, it just meant a gas was plausible. 

Jason hadn’t been much help in getting answers but he didn’t fight being pulled into the Batmobile. A slightly daunting process as Bruce had to practically carry Jason off the roof to do so. This quiet and malleable demeanor was so unlike the brash, sharp and frustratingly stubborn man that made up Bruce’s son. Jason didn’t like to be coddled, he acted like he was above the need for intimate gestures. Letting Bruce help take his weight to safely was a hard pass on a good day. So Bruce was reasonably caught off guard not only by the miniscule resistance but what happened before Bruce even had the chance to start the car. 

As soon as Bruce was settled in his seat, after buckling Jason in, Bruce froze. Jason had leaned over, resting his head onto Bruce’s shoulder. In a manner that almost seemed intentional. Jason sighed and relaxed his weight against Bruce. 

“I was a good robin.”

It was so soft and bordering incoherent but it shot through Bruce’s brain like Jason fired it from his gun. He swallowed and held a white knuckle grip on the steering wheel. A hundred thoughts and old pains ran through him. He let himself remain in the moment, to stew in the thoughts before he sighed deeply out his nose and relaxed his grip. Slowly, trying not to jostle Jason too much, Bruce brought his arm around him and ran his fingers through Jason’s sweaty hair. 

“Yes, you were.”
