#garry's mod#gmod#source engine#half life 2#sandbox#hearted#a car in the parking lot. no evident signs of life aside from your presence. the lights and heating in here are on. external doors locked#some stores are still in states of occupation but clearly none of them are actually doing business anymore#where are you? why are you here?#maybe you're in a weird vestigial janitor's position— showing up to move odds and ends out and make sure no one's broken in#maybe just a very boring security job for the last couple weeks#maybe (and this is a stretch) you work in the diner downstairs that still seems to be at least *approaching* functional?#most appealing idea to me is just being someone walking home from work/school and finding one of the front doors left propped open#you stop in and can't help but wander the still-furnished stores and marvel at the stillness#there's a threatening feeling when these liminal maps block or lock exit doors that feels very obvious and it's not entirely missing here#but it doesn't feel like very *present* danger? i can't help but compare it to sneaking through an abandoned building#you're not really in any danger aside from maybe getting told off by a security guard who probably doesn't care#but this map inspires way more positive comfy feelings in me than it does any fear. it's a callback to the urbexing teen years i didn't hav#and a reminder of just how much dead retail space now pockmarks my neck of the woods

love the idea of the Avengers adding new members but being stingy about rooms so the OG Avengers each get their own but Bucky and Loki are forced to share one under the guise of it being 'healthy interaction'
#Bucky and Loki being friends but in a weird way and now Thor is concerned like 'i don't recognise my brother anymore T-T'#and Steve is grimacing and sighing like 'my chemical romance isn't that bad Thor you just have to acquire the taste'#Bucky and Loki bunking in a room together and people just forgot to give them a second bed but it's ok because they both sleep on the floor#they wake each other up from nightmares and when it's done/conscious they look at each other in slight alarm and just give '👍❓❗' '👍👍❓'#aggressive thumbs up before returning to bed still communicating with thumbs up like 'all good??' 'all good??' 'all good!' 'go sleep?!?'#they both are convinced that oily hair is a way to keep it healthy and dandruff free and like they're not WRONG bc it works for them#but people also hate listening to them corroborate such experiences with each other#like you can't deny their hair is healthy and silky when they wash up and get dressed for something. BUT. STOP TALKING LIKE THAT.#they talk about how the bath they share is so comfortable for two people and it's driving people up a wall#Natasha opens the door and sees Bucky in the dark propped against a wall looking half dead with earphones in#(he is watching a nature documentary Loki recommended)#they bond over times they were being controlled and/or suicidal in Tony's lab and Tony who was working nods along absently long used to it#Tony: ah yeah I have PTSD but im managing it okay for now with meds#Bucky and Loki: *making faces* boo 👎

has swanatello tried keeping a diary/journal? that way he could write down what happens at the visits and who visited, and his family could tell him what the date is so it could be accurate
Absolutely! He tries to record as much stuff as he possibly can so he can reference it later, the issue is that, on bad memory days, he often won't remember that the journal exists, and therefore can't add anything new to it or reference anything in it. If he does, he may not recognize the importance of it or understand why he's writing it in the first place. He may write down incorrect or conflicting information, as 'facts' may change for him depending on his mental state, which will later confuse him. He also has a tendency to lose things as a result of his memory issues.
He has a journal, but up until now it has been very patchworked and not half as helpful as he would like for it to be. His family tries to help him keep track of it and remind him to write things down when they visit, but they can't help if he won't allow them entry to the lake, if they can't find the journal, or if Donnie is too distressed or confused to participate in the exercise. The bracelet, however, has helped a lot with this, as it can verbally prompt him every day to locate the journal, reference the journal, to write in the journal, and to put the journal back in the correct place so he can still find it again later. This consistency is incredibly helpful, as the bracelet doesn't have to rely on Donnie having a 'good day' to begin with to offer assistance.
#the consistent routine is very very very helpful#donnie NEEDS help but his family cant always be there to help him (as much as they want to)#but the bracelet can#and the bracelet can prop the door open for his family so they CAN help#the upside to the bracelet is that he remembers/understands his situation FAR more often#the downside is that now he has to have his world shattered just about every other day#he has very few 'blissful ignorance' days anymore#very rarely does he happily show off his lake to his visiting family#swanatello#swanatello asks#asks#anon#memory loss

Little thing I finally finished!
Warnings for vague homophobia, tranphobia, and religious trauma.
Do you remember the double doors leading into your paradise? Paradise, where you were liked and loved. Valued, even.
Do you remember the double doors, where the smiling faces met you? With a computer in hand and a name badge to match. Welcoming you to the music with the worship and the snacks
Do you remember the double doors, and the auditorium inside? With gaming systems and food, a bribery was made. Your time for their beliefs.
Do you remember the double doors? Do you remember what lied before them?Remember being shunned and being told love is a sin?
Do you remember those double doors once they no longer hid paradise? The daunting feeling of those doors could suffocate the strongest of men.
Do you remember the double doors that hid the cruelty of children? Ignorance for others that could only be taught by their elders.
Do you remember the day the double doors shut for you, when the house no longer felt like a home? When the cross no longer felt familiar?
Do you remember sinking, falling, dying, when the double doors came into view?
Do you remember the double doors, and how they had sealed shut for you?
#pansy writes#religious trauma#homophobia#transphobia#okay so the background on this is my old church right#the teen area (youth group) was closed off by these massive double doors#theyd be propped open every sunday before service to invite ppl in and whatever#and thered be two ppl making your name tag and stuff#so the youth pastor#his name was brian#was literally so cool#he loved the kids....seemed like the kind of guy whod be good with queer ppl#so when i was walking with him while volunteering one day#i told him i was gay#and asked if god would still love me#he told me it was a sin#i was damned for hell.#i think that was the moment i realized i would never truly be welcomed in a church

Whump Prompt #1123
Submitted by Anon - thanks!
Your whumpee is drugged by the whumper, only to be rescued while still out of it.
The whumpee’s team have never seen whumpee look so frail and lax.
The whumpee eventually starts waking up and thinks they’re still in danger and tries pathetically to shove the well meaning caretaker away from them.
#mhmmm#can relate to this#one time in first year a flatmate had to be carried back from a party#they'd pumped him so full of alcohol he could hardly stand#it was fucking terrifying#i literally propped his door open to check on him every hour or so#he was fine#just very very hungover#but seeing someone so out of it#when they're usually very animated is terrifying#tw: drugging#tw: spiking#fear#delusional#rescue#kidnapping#torture#weakness

Never prop your hotel door open. You never know who might come in your room.

Sometimes I can’t tell whether I’m being too sensitive or someone else is being condescending.
#op#me at work#hotel#bro I know you can use a catalog to prop open a door but I’ve been told not to let the doors be propped open#especially when it’s in the 20s outside#besides it’s not much just to open the door for you

*kneels slowly and touches the floor* something sillay happened here
#i just heard a loud clattering crash outside my room and my roommates' 2 cats went 😲 and IMMEDIATELY took off running when i opened my door#and then i spent the next several minutes looking around trying to figure out what they knocked down/broke#i THINK it was a whiteboard with some little magnets on it that was propped against my roommate's desk?#but there were also empty plastic packages from baked goods scattered on the floor like 6ft away from that#so i have no idea what actually was the cats vs what was just my roommate not picking things up#buny text

Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me- a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest. The best parts of lonely. Duct-tape and soldered wires. New words for old desires, and every birthday card I threw away.
#the weakerthans does this fantastic thing where they'll talk around the grief by listing things and surprisingly effective#obviously example but also ''you won't find the many things you owe the latest dead / that borrowed book that check you didn't sign''#''this string will never mend you or tailor more than the memory of a kitchen floor and the fire door we kept propping open''#''but you're not coming home and i won't ever get to say ''remember how...'' ''i'm sorry that...'' ''i miss the way...'' ''could we...''#the weakerthans#left and leaving#Spotify

The sweet neighbourhood cat, Leo, who spent much of his time in the common room of my building. I was always happy to see him on my way going out or coming home, sometimes he’d even be sat at the door waiting to be let in. Towards the end of writing my dissertation I spent a lot of my time in the common room or the study room where he’d keep me company snoozing nearby. I miss him but I’m glad to know he’ll soon be cheering up a whole new lot of postgrads there :)
#his owners know he spends a lot of time there#the only condition is that the students don’t feed him to make sure he always goes home#but of course we always left water for him#he was kinda spoilt actually lol#on warm days people would prop the doors open with the little stool he liked to sit on#so that he could sit on that to bask in the sun with access to go out and come in as he pleased :’)#the sweetest baby! he snores too!!

how come every time i come to pick up a grocery order, there's always men waiting for their orders but they stand outside their cars with their door open and sometimes with the trunk open. right now there's three separate dudes doing this lol
fellas, is it feminine to wait seated inside your car for your groceries to be brought out to you?
