Girl where is your eye, why no eye, where eye??

it changes every time

It's really hard for me to ask this, but would anyone be able to help me financially get home from work and a doctor's appointment this week? I'm already taking the bus as often as I can, but there isn't one that runs by the time I get off work, and I won't be able to get home otherwise. My next paycheck is expected to drop on the 15th, and I currently only have $5.26 in my bank account. I would really, deeply appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

Guys I love holiday whump.

It’s like the best combo. It’s supposed to be the happy time of the year. But you can completely ruin it by torturing a poor soul with no remorse.

Take them away from everything they know and love. Make them lonely. Condition them to believe the holidays are the scariest time of the year and that something bad will happen to them if they try to leave. Condition a Scrooge into loving the holidays. Chain them down in Christmas lights. Tie them to a Christmas tree. Burn them with candle wax. Make their loved ones have to see them in a hospital bed with multiple wires attached to them, barely breathing.

I’m not a Scrooge but I need this fr

Welcome to the clinic Mr Everysingle

I have been told that you have a wetting problem?

Well I have something here which will take care of that problem

Yes that’s right. It’s a diaper

Oh no I brought this for you to wear.

Just lay down there and I will put your diaper on you

There that’s a nice fit.

Try this is a medical diaper which is why it is pale blue

I can arrange to get some nursery print ones or ones with animals or dinosaurs on if you would prefer

We’ll get used to it because you are going to be in diapers for quite a long while I am afraid

Damn it, it's after 5 am here and despite laying all night with my eyes closed,I haven't slept. TBH I need to take more pain medicine, but I have a sleeping toddler laying across my legs (she's been glued to me every night since I got home from the hospital--like, she will NOT go to sleep unless she's touching me), and I don't want to chance waking her.

And I'm not gonna wake @thesurestthing up to go get it for me, either, because she has done nothing but take care of El and me since "the incident," and she needs her rest even more than I do. (Seriously, she slept on that hard couch in my hospital room, and I don't think she's been TRULY rested since then.)

sincerity is perhaps the most important thing in the world

i have twenty minutes before work starts, now i present to you the following headcanon: aisling has a tattoo. it's a tattoo of a dinosaur riding a skateboard, and it's on her right shoulder. she got the tattoo in an effort to convince advik that people don't really pay all that much consideration to one another, hoping to convince him to be less self-conscious going into school, she went to a close friend and got the tattoo to prove her point. now she can't hide it nor remove it or otherwise it'll dilute her argument, so maybe that's why she wants august to be an autumn month.

I think from like.... okay if you were to look at Penny from a genetic standpoint she probably just has a direct copy of Alex's genes, mixed with Weirdness from Parabola.

Would not operate regularly under observation...

The absolute relief that I'm FINALLY getting a consultation for my colonoscopy. I'm having to pay for it privately because after over 3 months my referral hasn't even been REVIEWED, but I'm not going to be sitting around with potential GI cancer which is the important thing.

Can you explain things you want to happen to Johnny in the next sing movie(or project or if they make a graphic novel) mine is that he makes his own song.

Ooooooo, thank you for the ask!!!! I'm so sorry in advance, I'm gonna ramble here lol. - <3 Gooseless

--------------------------------- So I actually want a few things to happen in the next project (the continuation fic is essentially all of it lol), but I would definitely agree on the original songs front! That's for sure on my list.

One of the main things though, the biggest one actually, is to continue with Johnny's storyline as a queer allegory. We've already faced familial acceptance in the first movie, community acceptance with the second movie (though I have so many issues with how the dance class was handled), and it would be nice to just wrap it up with personal acceptance. And that might seem out of order but it actually isn't in a lot of cases. I know, for me at least, I spent so much time right after coming out defending my place and my identity to the world around me that I never really took the moment to process I could just finally be myself, and that it was ok to exist. I feel like a storyline like that with Johnny would be amazing, as there are numerous ways to go that route, like romantic (please, I want to see Rynny more than anything, PLEASE) or personal (Johnny finally putting out boundaries with his workload).

This would be an awesome storyline to see through either of those lenses, with a romantic arc featuring Johnny and Ryan being able to use a much more obvious way of showing this, especially if Ryan has already reached personal acceptance. Why that is is because throughout his previous storylines, Johnny has a specific support system for each, with familial being the troupe and community being Nooshy, so it would make sense if the love interest in this scenario, Ryan, took on that role this time around. It works really well in this option as it leads to really cute moment possibilities of the characters, particularly Johnny, just letting himself exist and have something for himself. And I will admit that I feel this is the best option for this storyline, as it is pretty blunt and up-front with the coding then, just like Johnny's other storylines, but also allows Johnny to have something for himself (his identity and his relationship) instead of how we see all his developments in the past movies, aka being broadcasted to the world and not really giving the kid any privacy. He deserves something for himself. And I feel like a relationship with Ryan could be that thing.

But like I said, you could work it as personal as well, with Johnny finally putting forward boundaries with Buster due to the workload the man keeps assigning the poor kid. I feel like a good support system here could be Ryan (if they are in an already established relationship) or his dad and uncles as they would have life experience to advise him on the matter. Johnny is heavily overworked throughout both movies and it seems like the expectations for him are really high, so a moment of him just letting himself exist as the ordinary person he is would probably be very therapeutic for him.

I personally wish they would go in the series direction instead of another movie, allowing for more detail to be poured into the characters, and that is kinda the format in which the continuation fic is written, in a way easily translated to a series. However, I have posted an idea for a Sing 3 set after a time jump around Johnny's story that I'll link below. It kinda goes into the previously mentioned wants for a series but having those already happen and mainly talks about ways to get queer rep around hate groups.

So yeah, I really want to see a personal acceptance journey for Johnny, letting the kid see he doesn't have to fight for who he is or his place anymore, he can just be Johnny, however that looks like.

---------------------------------

Here's the Sing 3 idea thing!

A Favor

TW: Sadistic Carewhumper, Fire, Bleeding Wounds, Cut, Threats of Violence/Torture, Implied Kidnapping

Carewhumper opened her front door and found Whumper standing outside. She noticed a bag and gallon of sweet tea in his hand. 

“I guess you need something.” 

“Yeah… kind of.” He nodded slowly. 

She grabbed the bag and looked through it. She hummed. “I guess I can help. Come in.” Whumper walked inside the house, following Carewhumper. She pulled out a chair and pointed to it. “Sit.” 

She put the bag down on the table and pulled out its contents. There were packs of cookies, brownies and cigarettes. Whumper reached in his pocket and handed her a lighter. She put away the items before retrieving a medical kit and sitting next to him. “For you to claim to be so high and mighty, you sure know how to beg.” 

“Well, who else could I run to without getting a thousand dollar bill afterwards?” He smiled. 

She frowned. “I should start charging you that much just because you said that. Let me see your arm.” He pulled off his jacket and allowed her to examine the large cut. “What stupid shit did you do this time?” 

“Let’s just say, I… wasn’t paying attention.” 

“You never know how to, do you?” Carewhumper was about to clean the wound when she noticed a bite mark below it. She ran her finger over it. “The hell is this?” 

“A…bite mark.” 

“From?” 

“The same thing that got me a cut…” 

“Things don’t bite Whumper, people do. Who cut you?” 

He smiled. “You sound jealous.” 

“Don’t start with me. I’ll cut the other arm just like this so it’ll match. Clearly they cut the wrong body part.” 

“Are you insinuating you want my throat to be slashed?” 

“I’m insinuating I’ll do it myself if you don’t tell me.” 

Whumper chuckled. “Fine. It was Whumpee.” 

Carewhumper paused. “Whumpee?” 

“Yeah, Whumpee. Remember? I told you about him. You wanna share him?” 

“I know, I know. And no, I don’t want to share him. I just heard his name somewhere else too…” Carewhumper thought for a moment. “The hospital. Caretaker was so concerned about him.” 

“Caretaker? You know who that is?” 

“Yeah, unfortunately I do. They’re my coworker. They don’t shut up about Whumpee.” She rolled her eyes. “He came in a few weeks ago. Caretaker got him. They said he had been found barely conscious on the side of the road by some older couple. Three weeks later, we came to work and he was gone. I’ve never seen Caretaker attach to a patient so easily. It seems like they always get the ones that’s been through it all. Or maybe they do that on purpose. I always thought nurses were weird anyway. They care too much.” 

Whumper narrowed his eyes. “I’m sure that’s why doctors like you don’t work alone.” 

“What? I just think it’s strange to care about someone you don’t know that much.” 

“How long have you been working together?” 

“Couple years. They piss me off. I’m just glad they’re not on my team.” 

“I’m sure a lot of nurses are.” She glared up at him, making him shrug. “Just saying.” She poured an excessive amount of rubbing alcohol over the cut, making Whumper wince. “Are you always this mean to your patients?” He asked through gritted teeth. 

“No, just you. You’re the only one I’m legally allowed to do this to. I would do it at work too but then the nurses might snitch.” 

“I think you just like to see me in pain.” 

Carewhumper hummed. “Yeah, that too. I think it’s only fair for you showing up on my doorstep at twelve in the morning every other week.” 

“You’d do this no matter what time I ask you for help.” 

She wiped his arm and placed a gauze over it. “I still want to make the other arm match. But I know you probably lost a lot of blood because you like to ignore your wounds until the last minute.” 

“No I don’t.” 

“Explain to me why your hand is so red then? It should be pale from losing blood.” He glanced around and shrugged. “Because you were trying to ignore it until you saw the blood dripping down your wrist. Were you not?” 

“No.” 

“Your lies might work on everyone else but not me.” Carewhumper put away all of the medical supplies and grabbed the pack of cookies. “And who told you I lost my lighter?” 

“No one told me. I just saw it and got it for you.” 

“Well I’m glad you did. I need to see if it works.” She bit a cookie and reached for the lighter. When the tiny flame flickered to life, she held it under Whumper’s hand. Watching him try his best not to scream made her laugh. “It’s perfect. And you got it in a nice design. You just might be my favorite patient since I got my degree.” 

“You had a favorite?” He asked breathlessly while gingerly holding his burned hand. 

“Nah, none of them squirm like you do. Gotta have them under anesthesia and all that in order to operate. You, on the other hand, I can torture any way I want.” She smirked. 

Whumper frowned, realizing he once said those exact words to Whumpee. 

What goes around, comes around right?

internship update: i suggested 6 hr/day workday for me and they are ready to agree to that! the pay will be cut accordingly though. but 6 hrs/day is much more manageable than 8, and i’ll have time to get to classes. and if i have to leave early on some day i can easily make up for this on the day when i dont have classes. i have to discuss this still but i really, really love the prospect

[anexperimentallife]

Everyone in the house is sick with this cold, but I've got it worst. Took El to the pediatrician, though, because baby. Anyway, I'm the only one who's had much of a fever--got up to 38.6 (that's around 101 F I think? So just enough to feel konda shitty wothout being dangerous). I've been up all night because when I lay down I can't stop coughing, and El and @thesurestthing need their rest.

Zoey/Penny is a MACHINE--Since she's been feeling less shitty than the rest of us(albeit still shitty), she has decreed that all unavoidable errands shall be run by her. @geniussheepworld has been--understandably--mostly sleeping, and emerging from her room only for absolute necessities. (Although she still leaves her door open a lot when she's awake to stay connected.)

Oh, and of COURSE whatever bug this is amplifies my joint and nerve pain. Bleh.

[javaghoul]

i love eBay's Make An Offer option, but sometimes I feel guilty when the seller accepts.

"Oh look at that listed for £20... Make an offer, huh? Ok"

"I will offer you 99 PENCE, merchant."

Sometimes I wonder if they've read the decimal point wrong.

[distance-does-not-matter]

and i feel validated in this clinical setting
