new child fragment emerged but this time we grounded and i think im getting a better picture of what seemingly minor things really traumatised me

[liquidstar]

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

alright chat . it's time for "dissecting the inherent tragedy of transformers: botbots and the relationships in them":

toxic doomed yuri edition ( referring to these two ↑ )

(yes, i made this picmix myself 4 this. i have no regrets. also no tl;dr because you guys NEED to read this)

something i want y'all to understand is that it is Not about the idea that spud wasn't loved. he was VERY much loved by everyone, ESPECIALLY burgertron.

the whole point is that he sabotaged himself in the process of ruining someone else's life, someone who valued him and his word above others. he and burgertron BOTH let their ego get in the way of their personal lives, the only difference is that burgertron at least had the dignity to swallow his pride and apologise when it mattered most.

He gave spud a second chance because he loved him. because he recognised that he does deserve redemption, and above all else, he wants spud to know he cares, even if that means he'll never see him again, or they'll never be friends. (Even in light of the "sidekick" comment, i genuinely don't think he held any inherent malice in that statement. even if burgs was an egotist, he still loved him.)

the worst thing burgertron did in their relationship was be unaware, and im sure that despite his ego, he never meant for spud to get hurt. that's why he went out of his way to protect him, when he couldve just stood there and let spud get put on the back of a truck to never be seen again. it would have been easy.

but he didn't. he did the hard thing. the Right thing. he stood up for someone who never did the same for him.

Spud Was Loved. Spud Is loved. and sometimes love isn't going to look pretty, or manifest in holding hands and cuddling, and it isn't all rainbows and sunshine. it can hurt. it can be letting go of someone who you hurt by accident, who you never meant to harm, but it happened anyways because you made the fatal mistake of being oblivious.

And that's what Burgertron did. he let Spud go, because he understood they both needed time to heal on their own terms. regardless of if he's mad at him or not, he does still harbor positive feelings for him, and he stood up for him during times he probably shouldn't have. If he ACTUALLY hated spud, he wouldn't have stuck his neck out for him at bot prom. or believe spud when he was lying through his teeth in the games.

And that's what makes them so tragic. perhaps in another world, another life, they'd have been Actual good friends, who truly stuck by each other. maybe things would have been different.

But we'll never know that now, will we?

*leaves a comment on every single chapter of a fic as I read it* *author replies to every single comment with increasing giddiness and excitement*

This is good. I’m getting a good grade in fic reader. This is both something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

This week on Wildlife Rehab:

- why are there so many flickers and why does this one hate hands ow ow ow ow ow

- every runt finch holding the rest of their groups back was put into their own little Misfit cage, lovingly dubbed " :) " in hopes of getting them to finally grow

- oldest teen sparrow leads a crew of 4 other Cool Teens, meets 4 awkward tweens, says "is anyone gonna adopt those?" and doesn't wait for an answer

- seriously, I saw her trying to gather nest materials (with no suitable place to put them) and actually spit up a mealworm and gently feed it to a vaguely younger-looking sparrow

[floweryuu]

Honestly girls sports teams was the worst experience in my life there was like no bullying and everyone were encouraging but everyone were just mad all the time and during matches they will yell at you like I hurt myself during a match and tried to switch out but they yelled at me for not holding my spot so I was forced to stay until it was time to switch

Having a very "Did I take my meds or only think about taking my meds?" hour and a half. *scampers off to check*

In a surprise to no one, I had NOT taken my meds. Reality should be reestablished in 30 in 40 minutes.

Might not like reality, but *shrug*

Really goes with the half walking dream this morning. It was clearly a Discord notification but I couldn't read fast enough to know who was responding or what I wrote. The response message was "Delightful. Now that I know better I'll Direct Message." My phone vibrated. Garrett's Popcorn.
