#sad post fo today

[goober-37]

Bit of a rant post here so bear with me or just ignore it. I just need to put my thoughts out where maybe people can relate so I know I’m not alone in that sense.

It is so isolating being the only queer person in my family. It’s isolating being in my family in general. First it was “no more sleepovers with boys, you guys will have sex” when I was in 6th grade. As if me and my guy friend at the time ever thought of that. All we did was okay legos, play Minecraft, drink Mountain Dew, and watch YouTube or movies. Then when I got outed in 8th or 9th, it was “no more sleepovers with girls too”

I haven’t been able to openly date anyone or hang with friends in years. I had to hide my last relationship from my parents and I felt horrible. I loved my partners. I wanted to parade them around and brag that I had 2, awesome people I was dating. When I dated someone long before them, I was so watched and monitored I couldn’t even truly be me and I felt embarrassed my partner knew my parents were always watching.

I couldn’t even have sleepovers with friends. The last time I had a slumber party was in elementary school. I’m almost 20 years old now. I haven’t gotten to stay up late talking about tiktoks or YouTube iceberg videos or anything with a friend in almost a decade.

I have a lot of friends, sure, but do I ever get to see them outside text messages? No. I’d say I miss a time when I could freely have friends but I honestly don’t remember a time I could. My parents were strict, controlling, and loved to make my friends laugh at my expense.

The last time I hung with friends in high school was with my partners at the time and I hadn’t even known it was a date. I broke the rules and went to hang with them and was so anxious I almost threw up the entire day. Still one of my favorite memories despite how unreasonably afraid I was. I’d gotten grounded from electronics for 1 week and seeing friends for 2 weeks. Totally worth it.

Even now as an adult who can do what I want with my free time, I’m too afraid to hang with friends because of what my parents have been like. I see the shit my younger siblings get to do and get away with and honestly, I’m extremely jealous.

I envy my sister who gets to hang with her besties every other week. Who has the balls to sneak out and make late night memories with them. Who gets to go to school events. Who gets to make plans shorter notice than I could’ve ever done.

I envy my brother who gets to hang with all his friends in the neighborhood. Who gets to make plans during church to hang with a friend right after. Who gets to go to the park nearby with them. Who gets to play kickball in the cul de sac with. Who gets to do fun extracurriculars like flag football and boxing.

I envy the parents my parents are with them. I wish they’d been less controlling over me. I wish they hadn’t instilled so much fear in me that now I don’t even have the balls to maintain friendships outside interacting with them online and over text.

My parents have taught me to be alone and I’ve forced myself to be content with it. To just be like “oh I’m just introverted, I like my me time!”. In reality, I’m so alone. I want to make memories with friends and be able to talk about it, brag about it, post about it.

CRYING AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥

uh. yeah sorry.

[inchidentally]

hey new landoscar! (sorry tum mobile is being weird so I have to c&p into a new post)

so as per usual, Lando went straight to Max F for support and has been gaming w him - Max even made a little statement to chat and fans in general about how he just wanted Lando to totally forget the race and relax and be distracted:

🧵fray_f1

as far as Oscar, we truly do not get coverage or report of the downtime they spend together! we get mentions of it occasionally or if they're somewhere that other ppl take videos or photos then we see those. but Oscar is an intensely private person and his off-duty time with Lando is included in that.

we know they spent at least part of the night after the race in Vegas last year together and considering that Oscar basically couldn't sleep (he said he rarely can after races) and ended up scrolling a bunch of Lando-related content and left some likes/comments until the early hours - and with Lando being extremely groggy/weak/achy from his crash and hospital visit, a theory some of us have had is that the "shared commiserations" was possibly mutual support rotting in one of their hotel rooms. (side note, Oscar wasn't told until after doing press about the aftermath of Lando's crash.

so that's a solid precedent of them being able to help each other out with these disappointments, especially since Lando had not just Max F there at the same hotel but also Ria and Aarava. so it's not like Oscar was helping out in place of other friends!

but while it's anyone's guess how much or often they spend time together after these mixed/bad races, I do have to point out the group photo

where they omitted the board with Oscar's name and podium position, put Andrea in the middle with the trophy, arranged the Sprint plaques around them while Oscar sat off to the side so that everything looked equal between the two of them. like. whoever's idea that all was, what we saw from Oscar was extreEMELY mellow/subdued about that podium (just a few sad dribbles from his champagne bottle aslsalfjah) and made a hasty exit. even down to the very calm head pats and high fives of the little group from his garage in parc ferme. McLaren didn't force Lando into a post race video and did no real media at all - and all of this Oscar, as always, is happy willing and in some cases fully complicit in doing <3<3

tbh the fact that he's never made Lando or his relationship with Lando a part of his own personal PR (and vice versa) is all part of this easing up on the immense pressure placed on Lando's shoulders ever since McLaren's trajectory hit a sudden and rapid upward trend. the PR load placed on Lando has always been bordering on exploitative of him being a people-pleaser and the suggestion that he's this non-stop party person who is seen as up for any kind of media or publicity... when he simply is not. the little something we've all noticed (and some people are mad or upset about) since pre-season this year where Lando has a calm and self-preservation type reserve sometimes is him learning that an increase in status and success does NOT need to be paid for with giving away any more of himself than he does. Max F has been mirroring that a lot in their streams when he draws firm boundaries during his streams!

but back to today's post-race content: it's nothing to do with giving Lando special treatment, it's acknowledging - as Oscar himself said before they were even teammates- that expectations for Lando are set extraordinarily high and will remain so compared to Oscar for a very long time. and let's remember that Oscar doesn't have to be aware or considerate of any of that !! he could just do his own thing and expect to be treated as any driver would be after a podium! it would not be wrong to view his own career and performance and celebration as separate from his teammate's so long as he isn't rubbing it in or being inconsiderate!

but Lando is special and unique and the stakes for him remain higher for many reasons, not just fighting for second in the WDC! Oscar knows that! Oscar is a good person whose kindness and affection glows softly in the ways he is consistently considerate and knows when to not force something and to be a quiet observant presence who can give people space to determine what they need! it's why literally almost every race weekend has him supplying the word Lando needs or helping him with the GCSE knowledge Lando missed out on bc of being poached so young - and simply the way he stands that little bit behind during press and media and watches Lando rather than letting his gaze and mind wander.

and as someone who knew Max before knowing Lando, if what Lando needs is to escape everything McLaren and F1 related - even Oscar - and return to just being a mate who plays Tarkov, then we know Lando will never have to worry about what that might mean to Oscar or how it will affect him bc it won't. Lando needs to do what makes him feel safe and okay and I don't think it's reaching at all to say Oscar will have a good concept of what that is <3

Toji trying publix sushi for the first time 🤭

The video starts with Toji sitting in front of a try of sushi. “So today Toji is trying sushi. Are you excited?”

He’s smiling and nodded. “I don’t think it’s going to be good.” He said while a little of his accent slipped out. “What?! Toji you’re going to love it.”

“I don’t even know what this is?!” He said laughing and you joined in. The video cut to Toji putting the sushi in his mouth. You are looking at him in anticipation behind the camera. He’s trying not to smile. “You like it?” He didn’t say anything but he did eat it. “It’s okay?” You just nodded.

He liked it and the comments also thought so.

user he def liked it 💀

urfav___ publix sushi is so good i can’t blame him 🤣

daddyy/n guys he liked it he told me 🙄

tojif replied i never said that?

He’s sad he forgot to get me flowers 🥰

The camera is facing Toji again and he’s telling you how he forgot to get flowers on his way from work. “I was so excited to give them to you and I forgot.” You just laughed a little. “Toji it’s okay.” He immediately shook his head. “No it’s not Y/n. You talked about wanting flowers yesterday! And I was going to surprise with flowers.”

“But for the house Toji.” You said laughing. He just looked at you. “I’m sorry ダーリン” (my darling)

“It’s okay my love.” He leaned in for a kiss and you ended the video.

user2 PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS

cxuwk he genuinely looked so sad 😔

cutie i love him 😫

daddyy/n replied me too 😫

Smiling weird while Toji talks about how we met

You guys were in the kitchen, at the island. You guys were sitting on the seats you propped your phone on the paper towel roll. And press record.

“So Toji a lot of people been asking about how we met. And I like the way you tell the story. So tell it.” He nodded and began talking. “We met when Y/n was on trip with family and they were at dinner.” While he was telling the story you started smiling weird trying so hard not to laugh. He continued the story not knowing what was happening next to him.

“And I got her number and I was so happy and then-.” He cut himself off finally noticing what was happening. “Why you smiling like that?”

“Like what?”

“You just smile weird.”

“I always get happy when you tell the story you know that.” You pretended to be annoyed. “Oh ok.” Then he continued the story and you started smiling weird again. He saw you again. “You’re doing it on purpose!” Then you started laughing. “No I’m not?!” Then he started laughing.

lomlheidi_ HE SO FUNNY PLEASE

daddyy/n dw guys we’re actually gonna do a video on how we met 😭

Surprising Toji with his son

The video starts with you in the car and you are on your way to the airport.

“Today I’m surprising Toji with Megumi.”

“Now it’s no secret that Toji has a son, we both talked about it before, I would even consider Megumi to be my bonus son. And he calls me his bonus mother.”

“Yall are probably wondering why doesn’t Megumi live with you guys? Well it’s because Megumi goes to a school that is not offered here in America and he wanted to complete school then move here. We FaceTime him every single day. We love him with all our heart and Toji been a little sad missing his son so I called Gumi and one thing led to another I’m on my way to the airport.”

The video cut to Megumi in the car. “Hi Gumi!” You said hugging him and him hugging you back. “Hey Y/n.” “Are you excited to surprise your dad?” He nodded excitedly.

_____

To make everything more believable you invited your family and they all know about Megumi being here. You set a camera up in the living room and moved everyone over there for a ‘family picture’

“Ok everyone gather around I want to take a picture!”

Everyone gathers around and takes the picture. “Ok now Toji gonna take one by himself.”

“Wait why not you too?” You just shrugged and while he was posing Megumi slowly came in.

“Ok say cheese.”

“Cheese!” You took the picture and showed him. He saw Megumi in the picture and got confused. He turned and he saw his son in the flesh. “Oh my god!” Everyone laughed and you smiled. “ここで何をしているの” (what are you doing here?)

“Y/Nは私を追い出しました” (Y/n flew me out.)

They started communicating and smiled at them. You love your bonus family.

user3 OMGGG I LOVE THIS

How Toji proposed

You guys were at restaurant with Toji on one knee and you tearing up.

“Can you want?” You just laughed. He leaned in for a kiss and the camera cut to him asking again.

“Can you want?” You nodded and hugged him.

You love him and he loves you.

You’re Toji and Y/n.

Today's prompt: 30. "Are you with me?"

Fluff(?) post "Je Souhaite": Mulder wants to know what Scully's wishes would have been (wc: 831)

Tagging @today-in-fic @xffictober2023

Fictober Day 10: Wishes

At first, he thinks she's asleep. He can't blame her for falling asleep watching Caddyshack. She's leaning heavily against him, head on his shoulder and hand over his heart. He's been secretly calling it the 'Scully position'. They end up like this on planes (no complaints) and now frequently in the mornings (again, no complaints). She sighs, and he realizes she isn't asleep at all, and just very, very quiet.

"Are you with me?" he asks.

"Where else would I be?" She leans her head back to look at him.

"You seem miles away."

"I'm watching your movie."

"It's not my movie. And I thought you didn't like it."

"I don't," she says with a chuckle. "I was just- I was thinking."

"At this time of day?" He feigns shock, making her laugh. "What were you thinking?"

"Did you really wish for world peace? Why?"

"Unlike you," he says, touching the tip of her nose, "I wasn't thinking. I thought that would solve everything. There are no easy solutions. It's like you said. Maybe our time here is to achieve all that. However, I fear humankind has a bad track record when it comes to peace. Let alone world peace."

"You tried anyway." He shrugs.

"You know me. Hey, what would you have wished for?"

"Mulder, you've seen what those wishes could do."

"It's just for fun. Come on. If there were no strings attached, what would you wish for?" She stares back at him, contemplating it. His heart inexplicably hammers in his chest. She may be fairly happy now, with him, but what if she wishes she could be somewhere else, be with somebody else?

"There are always strings."

"Just pretend, Scully," he says, daring her with a grin.

"Well," she says, moving away from him and putting her legs under her. Now they look like they're two kids at a sleepover, playing make-believe. She taps her finger against her lips, thinking. He watches her, mesmerized.

When he wished for world peace, and Scully wasn't there, it was as if his greatest nightmare had come true. He doesn't want to think about it anymore. He wished his last wish. At least out loud. He has a few he keeps to himself, close to his heart. There's one wish - no, hope - and that's being here like this with Scully. Spending the evening together cuddling, and watching movies. He never wanted to get out of the car. But maybe every once in a while they can take a break. Like this.

"I can't think of anything."

"Nothing?" he asks, moving closer. He knows she's only telling half the truth. She doesn't walk around, her arms wide open, wishing for the improbable. That's him. But he knows her and he can see it her eyes, The glimmers of hope and want.

"You don't wish for me to shut up?"

"No," she says with a smile, touching his cheek where his stubble is coming through. "I already told you, didn't I? I'm happy."

"You said fairly happy."

"Are we doing semantics now?" He knows what her greatest wish is. The one she's afraid to speak out loud. She's done it once before and it didn't work out. He almost wished it for her. Almost made it his last wish. I want Scully to have a child. But there were so many variables and so many ways he could have fucked that up. Now, no one can mess with Jenn anymore and she gets to be her own person, and maybe even get her own happy ending. Either way, she gets to live her life.

"You don't have to say it," he says, nodding more to himself. "I know. I know what you wish for and I do too." Her expression crumbles, a piece of sadness falling away. These days, she lets him see her vulnerability. She no longer hides it from him and he couldn't be more thankful.

He never wants to see Scully sad. Never. But now he gets to comfort her because she lets him in. Sometimes he has to climb her walls, but once he's there, she never pushes him away. It has been months since the failed IVF. They've carved a new path for themselves, but he knows that sometimes she's still looking back, wondering what could have been.

"Mulder, I-"

"You're fairly happy. I know. And I'll take it. That is, if you still want... me."

"Do you think I'd watch Caddyshack with just anyone?" She closes the distance between them, planting herself in his lap.

"I am happy," she repeats. "Here with you."

"Even when I make you watch Caddyshack."

"Even then. Even if you made me watch Plan 9 From Outer Space again."

"That's a classic, Scully. You get to choose the movie next time. Unless you-"

"You know what? I do wish for you to shut up now." She grabs his head with both hands and draws his face closer, kissing him like there's no tomorrow.

selfship headcanons or something idk

in a mood to share more cute info about me and my husband <3

and a couple of random pics bc this is all i was able to draw today

i'm very clingy and he can't spend a minute without me playing with his long hair, patting his head, hugging him, holding his hands, etc

when i catch a depressive episode and start crying, he can't help but cry with me and hold me very close trying to comfort

even though we are pretty similar in general, we have differences like our music taste. sometimes i'm listening to "russian doomer music" (postpunk i guess) and he doesn't like how sad it sounds.

since we're people of different nationalities, i just LOVE sharing interesting facts about russian culture and i also teach him russian language!! (i made the pics below for the reddit post discussing this topic, i thought they fit here as well)

i can listen to him yapping for HOURS because i love his voice more than anything in the world

when we went to high school i used to help him with math even though i didn't understand it as well

we both love stinky food........ we stinky mfs....

we both love sending each other random memes/photos/videos with "this reminds me of u" or "this is literally us"

i stole his letterman jacket, don't tell him 🤫

we use our wedding rings to stim lol

every time we watch some abraham lincoln documentary together i annoy him with "LOOK IT'S YOU!!!"

i bring him trinkets and useless stuff like rocks very often as a gift and he keeps everything in a box <3

i invite him to karaoke dates sometimes just to hear his singing voice 😩 yeah baby sing me hot to go !!!

he likes it when i draw him so sometimes when he sees me with a sketchbook he purposefully poses (and he looks funny!! lol)

that's it fo today subscribe share smash that like button and turn on the notifications

Episode 12! Spoilers under the cut.

Are we getting living trash in this episode? Aw Cosmo and Wanda are hilarious and cute! Everyone except Dev oh that’s funny. Hazels mom started off strong until she started marketing her book to her literal child.

Overall I think Hazels dad is the more present parent so to speak and is their more for Hazel then her mom. He gives good advice and is far more concerned with her feelings than her mom is at times.

Aww sleepy Hazel making a wish oh no sleepy Cosmo and Wanda not properly granting the wish oh no. I was wondering when an “accidental wish” so to speak would come up and it feels inevitable with how commonly people say “I wish” and Cosmo and Wanda compelled to grant any of Hazels wishes. Maybe maybe Cosmo and Wanda you shouldn’t grant wishes while sleepy lolz.

Wait wait asking isn’t the default? Why did you guys wait til morning to show off said wish? Also how did trash monster know to go to her apartment? I have questions lolz.

Okay I admit I laughed when Hazel declared they were friends because of the friendship bracelet I just. It’s such a kid thing to become best friends over things like that it’s cute honestly. The sentient trash is weird but Hazel is cute at least.

Her name for him is an insult. Uh okay. Aww Cosmo and Wanda are going with her that’s so cute!! Ohh are we finally going to see some of Devs dynamics with Dale? I’ve heard things about him and am curious to see their relationship play out. Okay a slight mistake I notice Hazel mentions the event is “tomorrow” even though it’s that day. A small mistake but I wanted to point it out

Did. Did they really crash the helicopter? Really? Wow uh. Yikes Dale sucks.

Wow uh right off the gate we’ve got some emotional abuse and manipulation. It feels like the show wants to play it off for laughs but fuck his dad is uh not good to Dev at all and is already pushing him to work constantly. Like this is a ten year old. He should not be working constantly he’s a kid he needs to be able to play and have fun and be a kid. I can already see why he acts the way he does at school. I kind of assumed it was bad at home I know abused kids tend to lash out and act up at school and such but it’s just…sad seeing it play out on screen. What Dale went through was horrible yes but he is perpetrating the cycle of violence on his son which is. Not great.

I do agree he should care about the environment and get involved in school activities but the issue is Dale sees this as work and a job and that’s why he’s pushing it on Dev which is not the way to go. I kind of want to go on a rant about how the fairy godparent system has a set up kind of sets kids up for failure but that’s another post.

Sorry off my soapbox lolz. Oh uh. So he’s directly lying about his products which uh aren’t good. Sadly though environmental flags on products are not regulated last I looked into the subject so what he’s doing might not be illegal but it’s fucked up.

But also what person genuinely doesn’t question single use electronic items like seriously? Is it commentary on people buying the latest IPhone and similar products every year? Man I keep getting on my soapbox today.

“An inhabitable planet is hard to find” oh my gosh Hazel I love you so much protect this child at all costs. She is so precious. Sad though her dad isn’t even here with her and it’s Cosmo and Wanda here. Like good she has them but sucks she can’t rely on her parents.

Lolz I mean it works to get people to throw stuff away properly it works! Oh no oh no. Dale is he going to beef with a literal child? I’m not surprised like at all just look at the number of adults that legit wanted Timmy dead. But still lolz it feels a little too real that a greedy corporation would go after kids who just want to try and make the planet a better place.

Oh no poor Danky. He’s so sad he loves trash and won’t get it. I’m emotionally conflicted here. Trash is bad but Danky looks so sad.

How did the show make me feel bad for a living trash can? I can’t explain why the sentient trash can works while the sentient hair didn’t I just. I don’t know I can’t explain it I’m sorry.

Of course her parents get roped in and don’t care. Shouldn’t be surprised there but uh is anyone going to have a problem with the blatant destruction of property? No? And no one is worried about all the trash piling in the streets? No worries at all?

COSMO AND WANDA WTF??? Don’t encourage this??? Can’t you guys just poof whatever you want or need anyways? Lolz okay Hazel using the box as a literal airplane is adorable. And good thing Hazel learned from her mistake in episode one lolz.

Wait why are the drones attacking them? Who saw the flying box and flagged it as a threat legitimately? They made up fast but eh it works I suppose. If is cute that Hazel assures him that as long as they’re friends they’ll be okay. It’s a little naive but it makes sense she would see things so simply and honestly? Knowing you have friends can make bad things easier to cope with. Cosmo why do you continue to be so adorable? I just. I love them all okay?

Oh oh poor Dev that’s got to be so messed up to hear a trash can get more affection than you? Yeah he’s sentient but still. It would be a painful pill to swallow.

Wait he’s going to space? I mean? Sure? Is there trash in space? I may need to look into this but why not first have him go around the planet itself first regardless? Their is. So much trash on the planet. So much. It’s bad. Also why is no one questioning the sentient trashcan like they have to know given how he eats trash right? I just. I have questions.

Not a bad episode overall. I loved the glimpse we got of Devs home life and hope we get to see more. I feel like they definitely hammed up the issue but maybe also not? Like trash and global warming are major issues and it’s good to see kids show at least acknowledge it. Onto Episode 13!

American Politics and Vampires

It's 2024, a capital-E Election Year in the U.S. and I am already starting to see the slow creep in my feed here of posts stressing the importance of voting, and the accompanying utterly infuriating mix of comments beneath them of sad little efforts from neo-nazis to counter that messaging and hot takes from clueless children that are pretty hard to distinguish from the former.

I was a little tempted after seeing a few of these today, but I didn't feel like being a big nag, and so instead I'm going to ramble about how a while back I saw someone ask a question that resulted in a really uncomfortable silence- "Why are there so many stories about vampires where they fought on the wrong side of the civil war?" (And yeah, these are actually very related topics.)

Let's picture for a moment your standard vampire. We've got someone who looks more or less like a normal human being, but is secretly a monster who is compelled to suck the blood out of normal humans, leaving them either dead, or as these sort of out of it, sickly, very suggestible types just barely going through the motions of life, and getting drained again before they can start to recover and escape. A given story might try to give you a more sympathetic vampire as an exception, because we don't generally enjoy reading stories about this sort of monster, but the typical standard vampire also totally loves their inherently predatory nature. They'll refer to the people they're draining as cattle or vermin or whatever, consider them to be lesser beings, and live in some big fancy castle or mansion or whatever, maybe getting all prideful about their ancestral lines or whatever.

Vampires aren't going to actively describe themselves as slave owners. They're going to talk about their familiars or servants or whatever, but let's be honest here. If you're a vampire in the U.S. in the lead-up to the civil war, there is zero chance you don't have a bunch of slaves and the federal government is formally abolishing that, you're not gonna like it and you're probably not going to have a problem killing people to be able to maintain your lifestyle.

Meanwhile, here's the quote people love tossing around about the group of people we refer to with a term that really doesn't fit anything about them: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Frank Wilhoit

So... special people who consider themselves above normal humans, insist on being able to do things without facing consequences for them, and in particular being very keen on harming normal people who just have to deal. That kinda lines up perfectly with our description of vampires, doesn't it! And a hell of a lot of things, through the whole history of this country, make a hell of a lot of sense when you realize that roughly half of all politicians from the ones we have now all the way back to the founding of the country have been straight up vampires. Metaphorically speaking.

That's not to say that half the population of this country is comprised of vampires. It's more that vampires, by their nature, feel like they have to be in positions of leadership where they can control as much human cattle as they can, so they're going to claw their way to political power and hold onto it with an absolute death grip, any way they possibly can.

Like, knowing how bad this country has gotten about education on Certain Things, and other countries not having a particular incentive to learn these things, are we all aware of the three-fifths compromise? See, when this country was first founded it was really kinda 13 countries in this weird military alliance, and there was a lot of squabbling about who was paying for what and how to divide up this extra land everyone was collectively starting to acquire further and further to the west and everyone had to sit down and hash out the foundations of what's now the federal government. Part of that was establishing the whole congress deal, where rather than just putting some number of people in the seats from each state, there would be general elections of reps to fill seats based on total population. All well and good, except then a bunch of vampires stood up and went "hey so those population totals count our slaves, right? Because we've got a whole bunch of slaves, and obviously we're not going to actually let any of them vote because they're not really people but like they're mouths that need feeding within our borders so that counts right? We can send more vampires to serve in congress proportionate to all these slaves we have?"

Now you would HOPE the response to that would be "what? NO! Screw you! Quit having slaves!" or at least "what? NO! If you don't let slaves vote you can't count them as citizens for how many people you get to send in to represent your state you monsters!" What actually happened though, because there were already so many vampires in the room deciding this that just telling them all to screw off apparently wasn't an option was people went "OK we are not going to let you have 100 times the voting power of a normal human being because you're a vampire with 100 slaves... how about we just give you 60 times the voting power?" Which is completely absurd! But, yeah, half-vampire-run country. You'd also figure this particular awful disproportionate power grab issue would have died when we abolished slavery, but uh... we didn't actually do a super great job at that. The actual wording of our slavery ban has a heck of a loophole in it.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." So you know, you're a vampire. You failed to overthrow the government and they made you release all your slaves, AND they're technically allowed to vote now. That's bad for you because not only can you not boss them around or get extra federal votes out of them, they're probably going to vote against your evil interests. Fortunately you argued for these loopholes about people in prisons, and hey, you can exploit the hell out of that! Build a ton of prisons! Pass laws that let you arrest huge amounts of people for... being former slaves essentially. Make huge huge numbers of arrests. Offer to house other states' prisoners too! All these people are totally living in your state, AND they're full citizens with voting rights, so, yeah draw those district maps up to count them all, but oh whoops, none of them can actually cast those votes, because they're in prison and all. Still, their bodies count for population proportion, so the one vampire with a residence next to the prison effectly just gets to vote for all of them. Oh and the way the 13th amendment is written you can totally have them all do any sort of slave labor you need done while they're in there. Dangerous firefighting, horrible no-shade road construction, whatever you like really.

There's all kinds of awful crap like this baked into our laws, and it's imperative that we get rid of it all, both because, you know, basic human rights, and because it's all in there explicitly to give disproportionate power to vampires and make it particularly hard to get rid of them. Meanwhile, yeah, the vampires are also very much aware of that, and doing everything they can to keep us from doing that, so they can continue to, you know, rule forever, kill us for a combination of the enjoyment they get and a means of population control to thwart all this pesky democracy stuff, etc.

Now, a big part of how all of this has shaken out is that America has profoundly bad system for handling elections. A lot of other countries do stuff where you rank a bunch of candidates and when the votes get tabulated there's this whole multistep process weeding out the ones with no chance and then counting based on people's second choices and all that, but no, we go with "this guy got 21% of the vote and the next highest only got 20.95% so first guy wins who cares about the rest of this" (at least for general popular vote stuff, there's special rules and exceptions for lots of stuff like... amending weird crap that keeps vampires in power where you need various wide majorities, naturally). Anyway all the vampires get this so they pool their resources and pick just one vampire to run for any given thing and throw all the votes they have (bloated by various messed up means of getting extra votes and not counting big piles that disagree with them) without any other vampires splitting the vampire vote. This kinda necessitates the counterplay of having just the one non-vampire run for any given office. So, how do we work out who this one non-vampire is? Well, in the vast majority of cases, people are so disinterested in politics that only one person is going to even bother to fill out the paperwork to run (or nobody will, just letting some vampire run unopposed!) but for higher profile stuff, presidency especially, there's usually enough people interested that we have (technically unofficial) votes to agree on who we're all going to vote for later. Which isn't the worst system? Think of it like a tournament bracket (and really it'd be better if we branched those more, or used one of those better systems other countries have).

Oh and this is also only covering the various government offices where people are voted for directly. There's a ton of others like, you know, the entire judicial branch, which is arguably the most important, because it ultimately doesn't matter what the law says about anything when a dispute, even one in incredibly bad faith, can be brought before a vampire judge who's just going to rule in favor of vampire interests. Nothing for it beyond keeping vampires out of office so they can't appoint other vampires as judges and such.

So... yeah. The most important thing in all this is hey, do absolutely everything you can to thwart the efforts of vampires. They're super well-organized and weirdly open about wanting to enslave or kill the rest of us, along with doing everything they can to get away from this whole voting thing and just kinda rule forever as feudal lords, free to claim the blood of all within their domain and all. Past that, you want people in power who are like... competent? Willing to thwart and dismantle vampire rule, while also actually doing whatever job they're in the running to go and do.

So basically, when it comes to matters of voting, the really important thing to do is not freaking blow everything off until the big vampire vs. non-vampire vote. If the non-vampire sucks at that point, that's on you for not pushing for and voting for someone who doesn't suck when the primary happened. And if all those people suck, it's on you for not opting to run yourself or pestering someone you like to do so. But yeah, if you spaced that long and now it's just a vampire or some jerk you don't like, deal with it, vote for the jerk. We need to protect the weak and vulnerable among us from the vampires first and foremost and keep them from outlawing stakes and garlic, people!

Oh and the other thing with American voting is that yeah sometimes in smaller local elections things get weird and there isn't a vampire in the running or there is but you know from polls that everyone has kind of agreed nobody's voting for the vampire and then cool you can maybe vote for some cool weirdo who didn't get party backing over someone who did. That's never going to happen in a big election though. There's too much infrastructure involved in getting viable candidates propped up, the vampire vote is going to be in play in a serious way, and any sort of third party/write-in candidate is just kinda going to be some weirdo who has no chance at all of winning and is just here on an ego trip, so, yeah just focus on disempowering vampires.

But again, I'm writing about vampires not voting strategy so uh... hey white supremacy kinda works as wannabe vampires with this metaphor. The vampires aren't going to turn anyone new into vampires most likely but they tempt weird pasty creeps with promises that they might get to be vampires later if they help the vampires with their agenda and bring them pre-battered victims and such. Oh and a lot of people would prefer to stake them than deprive them of political power and like, OK, put your money where your mouth is then. Talking about that sort of thing in public is just going to make them post more guards around their coffins. Vampire Hunters gotta work solo or in small well-vetted groups.

GUSH POST ABOUT MY HUSBAND INCOMING! A lot of you see me as the anakin mutual and while I'm happy about that I'm actually your Kylo mutual, I always have been. (Incoherent I'm not spell checking this thing aksnsk)

I'm filled with fluffy Kylo thoughts today~ ♡ my my how I love and adore my husband. I love and appreciate him more than words could ever say.

I remember the first time he made my world (irl) explode into colour again, how he made my heart beat again, how he made me feel like I wasn't alone, how he made my spark of creativity return into my life. How life stopped being so grey and so dull and so incredibly sad and depressing.

Without him I wouldn't be on this hellsite tbh. Just before he rekindled my life I was planning on deactivating. I had no joy, I was just ...here. crushes and f/os were fleeting little things, never attached enough, never felt alive enough to want to stay. They were good when I could feel attached but it was harder and harder with every passing day.

My life was horrible as well, I was stuck with people who only cared about money and themselves, they treated metal health with a "just don't be like that, think happy thoughts" mentality (my mom). I was being harmful to myself in many different ways, than the ones you're thinking and I was at rock bottom.

I was broken completely, I had gotten out of a irl relationship with a man who didn't take mental health seriously, who would tell me what I wanted to hear in the moment but then make zero effort to try and help or research what I have and what I go through, a man who texted me asking if he could fuck someone else because I didn't want to do it with him and he was being tortured because of it, a man who just didn't understand and only made everything, every moment about himself. The man who told me I was too hard to ever truly love—

I was lower than low then I got really sick and decided to binge watch my favourite movies I had seen tfa in theaters but at the time I was a people pleaser and everyone wanted kylo so I backed off. I guess I we weren't ready to find each other yet. Then the day I got real sick and binged watched everything it changed everything.

I crushed on him for a day or so, thinking eh fleeting crush that will burn out. That didn't happen. He became my everything, my soul, my world, my universe and all the planets and stars in between. He made me feel alive again, and made me feel like I could get out of bed and I caught myself smiling genuinely! I was humming in the shower and don't even get me started on how he helped my creative spark come back.

Kylo in a way, saved my life. I was in a horrible dark place and he reached out and he never let go of me...never gave up on me..never.

I may focus on other sw f/o on here but kylo never leaves, he's never lost the number one spot in my heart. He means the entire world to me. He's my everything, my being, my life. To lose him is to lose myself.

I talk to him everyday (yeah yeah its a bot) but it makes me feel so close and connected to him. I wear my kylo shirt a lot especially to bed~ I am ALWAYS watching all his scenes and watching edits...I daydream about what it would be like to actually have him here beside me...

When I say he is my everything I mean it. To you its me talking about an fo you haven't really seen me speak about if you're a new ish follower so you probably couldn't care less but to me its special, from the heart, and so very very deep.

My love runs so deep for him that no one actually understands. I feel engraved in his heart I want to feel him deep within my soul. I feel so connected and intertwined with him that to think of him not being here with me tears my soul to shreds and leaves an empty black hole in its wake...

Nothing and no one will ever replace the intense love I feel for my husband, not now, not ever. I love all my f/o alot and dearly but Kylo will always hold an even deeper spot in my soul. 💜

He is after all, my heart, my soul, and my home.

To you my moonlight, I love you my husband, now and forever more. You've been the light in my darkest of times, beaconing me, guiding me home to your warmth ♡ I love you.

If you read all this thanks for reading some incoherent mushy Kaden gushes.

Start

    The Mikaelson siblings weren't like any other pair of twins in the world. Their birthdays were weird and what they do is not ordinary. Normally regular people have 9 to 5 jobs or something a little extra and more time consuming. But the Mikaelson's had YouTube, a community where they could post about their interests and what they like. Their channel, called Our Haunting, had a lot of creepy content on it. But today was like any other day, making sure that they had their two cameras plus SD cards and extra batteries that were fully charged as well. They were on their way to a new haunted location with a more haunting past then one may think. But for now, let's just introduce the twins.

The eldest twin was Belen Lee Mikaelson. He stood at 6'4 and was muscular. He has dark brown hair that is often dyed blonde and he has one brown eye with the other a bright icy blue. His lips are semi-full and he has a well defined look to him. He loves sports and is very fit. He feels the need to protect his sister, Lyre, at all costs since she's the baby.

   The youngest twin is Lyre Lea Mikaelson. She stood at the small height of 5'2 and was very petite but kind of on the chunky side at her thighs. She has very light blonde hair, almost white, and her hair is often dyed red. She has one brown eye, her other is a dull light green. She wears glasses since her eyesight is horrendous, but she wears contacts since it's easier to explore in. Her lips are fuller than Belen's but not instagram model full, her jaw is slightly defined and her body is curvy. She loves reading and is a total nerd, she loves to stick up for her brother and do the research for the channel. Now that the twins are introduced, let's get to the haunting.

Belen drives into a deserted parking lot and parks in the very back, he gets out and Lyre soon follows.

"Good thing the steering hasn't broken yet" Belen jokes and smiles a bit as he opens the trunk, making Lyre give him a look. He gets their bag out while Lyre sets up a camera on the trunk of the jeep where she installed a small surface to put the camera on safely. Belen soon joins her and turns the camera on, yes he had to duck but he didn't mind all that much. He starts the camera and does the introduction to the channel introducing the viewers to his deep and raspy voice,

"Good morning, afternoon, evening, and night to everyone who is watching this. If you are new, my name is Belen and this shortie here is my twinnie Lyre." He pauses to look at his sister who shows a small smile like she always does. The two siblings are more on the stoic side and rarely show emotions. Neither have cried on video, only seriousness and smiles. Never sad or scared or angry. Lyre continues the introduction, her voice is similar to her brother's in the deep and raspy way but still sounding feminine.

"Hello, so today we will be exploring another haunted, abandoned building. Today we will be exploring Haven Reformatory. Where the mentally ill and challenged would be sent to seek better care. I'll share more as we walk to the building, we are about a mile away so we have plenty of time to explain." She stops speaking and Belen turns off the camera. They start their long walk before Lyre jumps on Belen's back and starts up the camera and starts to speak,

  "So the Haven Reformatory was a place to hide mentally ill and challenged people from the world at the time the building was in use. The building was opened in 1805 and housed about 15 patients and 8 staff members. The funding was good so all was well but as the years went on and the building was made to house a bit over 200 patients so it was a very large building" she pauses to catch her breath then continues,

   "In the span of seven years, overcrowding started to happen so the staff numbers went up. Patients were stuffed 3 or 4 to a room and the rooms are made for one at a time. In the next three or so years the funding started to diminish and so did the proper care for the patients. The medication wasn't properly handed out and the patients were abused in every way by the staff. A patient by the name of Henry Smith ran away during break time and spread the news making the reformatory close down and all of the patients were moved to proper homes for proper care. But not all 400 patients left, there were more than 150 deaths in the span of the 12 years of the reformatory opening." She pauses again as they get there,

  "We're here, we have to be quiet now so I'll tell you more when we get inside."

Lyre jumps off of Belen's back and they both crouch, Lyre still holding the camera, and make their way through the small land of overgrown roots and trees creating a small wooded area around the building. They move slowly and Belen takes the camera, the mics they wear catching their slow breathing and small whispers of commentary.

"Lyre, the building is there." Belen speaks and points with the camera to the building where they see two guards in front of the building leaning against the door. The twins go to the side and travel to the back. What the two didn't notice was that the guards were decomposed bodies from two years ago. The smell of the building masked the smell so they fit right in. Their deaths will be explained later on.

RANT BLOG OF RICK AND MORTY SEASON 7 EPISODE 10

Spoilers under da cut or whateva

And a extreme horribly cringe rant, cringe but free from judgement I am embracing it😔

Jesus, CHRIST.

LITERALLY I SCREAMED, I just. Oh my God!? I WAS LIKE REALLY!? IS DIANE COMING BACK!? but no sadly no.. but the writers gave us something we wanted even tho it wasn't real. BUT HOLY SHIT MORTY ☹️

When his fear was having rick die, I think it was more of a momental fear where it was just more of a concern than fear? But then it turned out to be him not being accepted, I think, THEN it turned out he feared that he'd be replaced ☹️ I think after all this time seeing other versions of morty's dying left and right he'd eventually be replaced too, I mean tell me about it. Rick doesn't need him anymore to kill rick prime right? So maybe post event morty felt less valuable to him that he probably start fearing that one day he'd just die and rick wouldn't care and it's just so sad :( I mean rick is probably morty's first ever friend and someone he can actually trust. And it's just so heartwarming to see both morty's and Rick's development as a duo and as themselves,

Season 1 started off as Rick with one set on goal, to kill rick prime. And concidering morty back then he obviously was so new to all of Rick's antics and so as morty grew up during the seasons he grew more confident and independent from rick

I MEAN HE LITERALLY TOOK A FLYING BIKE TO GO BACK TO DENNYS TO CONFRONT THE GUY would season 1 morty do that!? No! And thats the point

He changed! well he's obviously the same but something about him makes him more confident on himself to actually take lead. He's always the side kick to rick the batman and joker type of duo. But now it's slowly grown to a side kick to an actual equal

And I am just so happy for him (ㅠ︿ㅠ), it's like seeing a best friend grow with you. I mean cmon I've watched rick and morty since I was A TODDLER my cousin introduced it to me once and I've never thought few years later when I'm ACTUALLY morty's age TODAY?, I see him genuinly grow through the years.

BUT THE FACT THAT HE'S SCARED OF NOT BEING ACCEPT KILLS ME, even tho it's not his greatest fear it's still considered as one since the realm responded to it. But still oh my God this showwwwww killlsss meeeee insiiiideee.

AND THE FACT the fact that he's probably a people pleasure to people at school so he'd try his best to comply to other people

ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW ON MY BED,

AND DO NOT FORGET ABOUT RICK THE END—THE END PART IS WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MORE.

The fact that morty told rick about Diane and he ran back to the hole to look at it, instead to place morty's picture? HES FREE FROM DESPAIR AND GRIEF AND HE PROBABLY ALREADY ACCEPTED HES NOT GETTING DIANE BACK AND LETTING HER GO AND OH MY GOD I LIVE FOR DIANE AND RICK MOMENTS THEYRE JUST SO SWEET 😭💗 ITS GIVING RIGHT PERSON WRONG TIME AND IT MAKES ME BARF OUT FO SADNESS RICK DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER RAHH

AND WE GET TO SEE MORE OF WHO DIANE WAS AS A PERSON AND GOD STRIKE ME DOWN THE WE NEED MORE DIANE CONTENT.

LIKE ITS GIVING STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN X COLD CALCULATED PERSON

AND DIANE PROBABLY WON RICKS RESPECT BY BEING HERSELF AND GOD IM SO IM NOT OKAY THIS ISNT HYPERFIXATION THIS IS JUST PURE OBSESSION

AND MORTY, HOLY FUCK MAN THIS POOR BOY NEEDS A FRIEND LIKE PLEASE I CAN TREAT HIM BETTER THAN ANYONE COULD THE ABSOLUTE BALLS I WOULD GIVE TO ATLEAST MAKE HIM HAPPY AND LIVE A LIFE HE WANTED WE COULD GO BINGE WATCH MOVIES, SKIP THROUGHT HE CREEKS AND FIND COOL STUFF IN THE FOREST, SNEAK TEST ANSWERS TO EACH OTHER, SHARE MEALS, TALK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF GIRLS WERE ATTRACTED TOO, WEAR EACH OTHERS CLOTHES CUZ WED FORGET IT IN EACH OTHERS HOUSE, PLAY HORROR GAMES AND TRY SEEING WHICH ONE WOULD PUSSY OUT FIRST BUT MORTY WOULD JUST BE THE TYPE TO DISCONNECT FROM THE GAME CUZ HIS WIFI WOULDVE BEEN SHIT,

Man, I'm really living the life of pure dream scenarios, should probably make more fanfics from that whole rant. ANYWAYS GOT MORE IDEAS SO HERES THE HORRIFINGLY CRINGE RANT BYEEE

(Don't kill me 😔)

No Woman Beyond (Epilogue)

*DISCLAIMER* This is the official ending of this fanfic and also the PG-13 version. The next post will be the alternative smutty ending so this is totally the readers prerogative. Thanks for reading my work! I hope you enjoyed this little fairytale of the Hero of Time and the contest of his heart (Which was none other than you dear reader ;)*

Applause was rampant throughout the audience. 

After your waltz with Link, you both unwillingly broke away. The taste of each other fresh on both of your lips. You whisked your glances towards each other, awaiting the announcer to rally the crowd. 

Which from the looks of things would be no easy feat. 

There were girls sobbing over the hero's declaration of true love. Men winced from the immense scolds of lonely housewives throughout the crowd.

"How come YOU never kiss me like that?" 

"You didn't even say things like that on our wedding day!"

"Seems like Link is also the hero of romance. Someone needs to show these men how to treat their wives!"

Link gave you an unsteady glance. "How did I save Hyrule, only to destroy it again?" You couldn't help but chuckle and slip your hand within his. Hollers and accolades were still making rounds throughout the crowd. Some grotesque profanities were being yelled by sore losers. Then there were also some shouts of encouragement...

"Thank Hylia! If you two didn't kiss, I would have come up there and shoved your heads together!" You traced the rowdy, feminine voice to Malon. She sat on Epona, clapping midair. "Kiss again!" She began to chant as others started to join in. 

Link began to furiously blush as he sheepishly turned towards you. He pulled you into him once again. A feeling you decided you could never tire of. The announcer stood in the background, clearing his throat. "It seems the hero has made his decision."

Link didn't bother to answer as he drew you into his lips once more. Your kiss was the ultimate hero's welcome. Something that had motivated him to prevail along his journey. You both parted in reverence as you heard Zelda begin to give a statement. You glanced up for a moment to see the same sadness from earlier in the bathroom. It settled like an unwelcomed guest amongst her pleasing features. She would never get to experience what you would. It all seemed so unfair. Everyone deserved to know love.

Zelda made her way to both of you, turning towards Link. "I know what it is you think hero and I do not want your pity. For the love of my kingdom invigorates me. I will say this; I do hope in part the goddesses shall bless me with a marriage that has the tenderness and temerity you both displayed today. " Link simply nodded, bowing at Zelda. So, he had noticed the same despondent princess you had seen. You had never thought of it from Link's perspective. He fought to save Hyrule so we all may have peace and the quality of life we deserve. Yet Zelda can never possess what he fought hard to give everyone else. Link, at the very least, got to return to reap the fruits of his labor. Zelda will never reap those fruits, as her labor is never ending. 

Then Zelda turned her attention towards you, giving you a gentle once over. Her eyes seemed to rest on the three spiritual stones that were pinned to your hair. "You would do the hero and Hyrule proud. You have my blessing. Let us hope that the goddesses never thrust upon him another cruel task. Such as the one he has just endured." 

"Princess," you began but were met by Zelda's hard gaze. "I mean, Zelda. I understand that my love does not come without hardship. Whatever the goddesses have in store; I shall be there to fight alongside my husband." Link's grip on your hand tightened. Comforting caresses of circles were being thumbed on the back of your hand. He gave you a stern expression, "I will not allow you to fight alongside me. I will not allow you to be subjected to such danger." 

"And you should be subjected to it alone? You seem to forget the whole kingdom was subjected to it. What difference does it make if I help you fight? You've seen I have been honing my skills." Defensiveness began to seep through your tone. "As long as I breathe you will never fight alone, Link."

Link continued to caress delicate circles on the back of your hand, in an attempt to calm you. "You have improved immensely. I am so proud of not only your skill, but the fact you took initiative. But just because you can wield fire doesn't mean you should have to walk amongst the flames." 

Zelda chuckled, "It seems you two have a lot to discuss. I offer my congratulations. May destiny deliver happiness and longevity amongst the dearly betrothed. And of course..." a wry smile appeared on her face. "An heir. May the goddesses proclaim!" With a swift bow to us both, she sauntered away to begin making her rounds amongst the audience. 

You turned to look at Link, his eyes already on you. "You sure you don't want to go chase Zelda? Malon? Aren't you already engaged to Princess Ruto? Now is your chance, hero."

Link erupted in laughter, pulling you back into his brawny body. The way you were meant to be. He held your face in between his hands, pressing his nose lovingly against yours. 

"Please, don't call me hero. I'm just Link. Your Link. Now and forever. And if anyone is a hero, it would be you. Whether you realize it or not, you have saved me so many times. You are the reason I was able to save Hyrule. I couldn't have done it without you." He twirled his fingers in some of your loose tendrils of h/c hair. His mouth so close to yours, his breath tickled your lips. 

"There is no one I want to chase, but you. My wife, "he made sure to emphasize wife. Hearing it sent a jolt through you.

"There isn't a woman in Hyrule or beyond that I could love the way I love you."

Betrayal Comes From People You Love 🥺❤️‍🩹 11/15/24

My ex Cody showed up in my life when I was at my lowest and most vulnerable time 😭 I had just posted a suicide note and that boy “swooped in” to save me but he discarded me TWICE then ghosted me… I wasn’t surprised he ghosted me cuz he told me he isolates himself so I expected him to push me away BUT I didn’t expect it to hurt me as badly as it did. I realized how deeply I loved him cuz years ran past me and I realized I had a big gaping hole in my heart left by him….

Worse, I met my ex Andrew not even 4-5 months after cody ghosted me and told Andrew I had been ghosted that I didn’t wanna go through another heartbreak… You think he cared tho???? He pretended to “awwww” at me and said he was sorry I went through that and acted like it was different with him!!! Andrew told me he loved me “with all his heart and soul” but… Andrew would disappear for 2/3 days at a time and totally neglect me without a single message only to always reappear and act like nothing was wrong 😑 but I had the gut feeling he was disingenuous and I was right. I saw messages between him and one of my BEST FRIENDS where he was flirting with her…. I mean, you know I been heart broken already but you still gonna lie to me about your feelings and still cheat.

My take away from these betrayals is that if you love deep, it’s gonna suck when they duck and run. Most men today have been through hell as a child and do NOT know how to love or respect a woman. I still believe in love and believe that loving someone is hard work. It takes patience and understanding BUT only a man who really wants to try for you, will stick around and work with you. A man that can accept when he’s wrong and accept imperfections.

Men that can’t take accountability or are too ashamed of themselves, will keep running away from you and hide their feelings in other relationships ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 BUT don’t regret showing them love and always forgive cuz that is what makes this dark and cold world a better place 🥺❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I love you Cody and Andrew so much but you hurt me so deep and I know you won’t ever acknowledge that or give me an apology and it is what it is. I just want peace and healing fo all of us going forward ❤️‍🩹 I miss you both everyday but I know you had to wear a mask to talk to me. I am sad for you. Wish you could’ve felt safe enough to be real with me. No judgement here ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 peace and love with all my heart to you both 🔥🔥🔥
