[ID: A parody of the Goofy, Patrick, and Fluttershy driving a car meme. The scene is redrawn to have Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100 replacing Goofy behind the wheel, Steelbeak from the 1991 Darkwing Duck cartoon sitting across him instead of Patrick, and Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet sitting in the back in place of Fluttershy. They all mimic the angry disposition of the original characters. End ID]

tagging: hmmmmm @bidoofenergy and @cookies-over-yonder i think!!! have fun guys

[pythoness94]

Hello! Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers.

@the-aphelion-archives Alright! I'll lets see here. Mhm...

One: My hair, it's actually really fluffy and low effort. I can take a brush through it and it looks like what people on tiktok take hours to do. I have it in a Robin Buckley type bob right now (I was going for my usual Mike Wheeler season 4 I've had for the past two years but I accidentally cut it lopsided when I got distracted so it's a bob now.) I love it when people touch my hair ngl.

two: (this is actually really hard ngl) My sense of humor if that counts. I actually like to think i'm quite funny. (Please nobody drag me in the comments, my self esteem is already on the ground and my 7 bottles of pills on my next say so.) and I make my friends laugh so thats good enough for me.

three: my hands I suppose. My girl loves to hold them, and I've been told I got musician hands which makes me very happy since I like to play guitar and violin.

four: (fuck I'm actually struggling guys PLEASE.) How much shit i collect. I get very happy having things from my favorite intellectual property's. (The Finn Wolfhard extended universe shrine mocks me with the center piece being a poster my girl bought me for my birthday. Yes i am buying that Mike Wheeler painting funko pop the moment I can get my grubby mitts on it. I'm trying to get my hands on Trevor Spengler merch who is arguably my favorite Finn Wolfhard character but there seems to be none. People, send me links i'm BEGGING. I'm also trying to get my hands on those ST fucking bath and body works candles but they're sound out in, i'm not joking, a 50-mile radius of me. I've checked.) So my entire room is PLASTERED in things I like. The entire Rick Riordan book series in on a shelf in my room, I have two exclusive figures of Lara croft in tomb raider. And 7 pokeballs with REAL gold cards of the pokemon with 5 of them unopened. (I will post a picture if anybody wants to see.) I LOVE my shit guys. It's the neurodivergent in me

five: My sense of style! It's been called divorced dad fashion by everyone I know. It's also been called "Stereotype California" which is remarkable because I am Californian and totally don't do that on purpose because i think it's funny. It's also been called "Airport Mike Wheeler on steroids" and "Richie Tozier if he had access to a Old Navy and Ross) which have to be my favorites. It's also the fact I am, to this day, Divorced dad in one of my friends phone. @i-promise-i-am-not-on-drugs called me something else that I can't remember rn.

Thanks for the ask and I hope this is what you wanted!

20 Questions for fic writers!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

ive deleted a fuckton and pretty much started my account over in july lol but right now there are 20 things on there

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

101,151. Since mid-July. omg wtf.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

SO MANY in the past, but my ao3 right now just has for atla and theres one les mis oneshot thats YEARS old that i cant bring myself to delete lol

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

wow ive never checked let me see 1. Zuko Amongst the Dragons 2. Zuko and Sokka Get Engaged in the Most Zukka Way Possible 3. Hidden Pain, Shared Love 4. Scratchy 5. Mother whoa tbh im v surprised by this list

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

YES i try to say thank u to everyone!!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

omg i cant CHOOSE uhhh its gonna have to be One Last Time

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

i dont have a lot of those? lol but its probs gotta be the sequel to One Last Time, The End of All Things

8. Do you get hate on fics?

omg no i could not imagine

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

hehehehe nah not really, im not the best at it. i write other fucked up shit instead. we love us some torture porn

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

nah, not really my style tbh

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no that would be wild (bad)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no that would be wild (good) ive thought about translating some of my own fics but i just dont know if the demand would be very high to be worth it???

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

not in a long long long time but i'm interested! other zukka writers hmu (though I'm pretty picky about who I write with. It's not personal, just a style thing)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

My all-time favorite ship to WRITE is probably Zukka. It's really fun and comes real naturally to me

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Probably my Divorced Zukka The Last Five Years AU. I couldn't get it off to that strong of a start, the reception wasn't great, and there's a lot of boring stuff I'd have to get through before I got to the Good Stuff, so that motivation is just dead.

16. What are your writing strengths?

tbh just Being In Character. That's what I get the most compliments on. also grammar and spelling, that kind of thing.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I skip over description and setting scenes as much as I possibly can, and it's not necessarily that I Can't as much as I Don't Care To... I get away with it because it's fanfiction but I'd like to... start trying a bit harder at it

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I guess if I had reason to? If it fit with the flow/plot of the fic, there was good reason to do it, and it was in one of the only two other languages I speak... I don't see there being a reason for that in this fandom though lol

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Star Wars, about 15 years ago lol

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

all of my children have a special place in my heart. I love Zuko Amongst the Dragons and One Last Time. Also bad idea right? was just super fun and is a bit underrated if u ask me lol

[uniquejellyfishqueen]

Karma

Karyn

Cardigan

11 11 3 = 7

…did you have spelling regret? Because hypothetically that c could have been a k

c-k is 8…. KC… and 8+7=15 is album 2 track 2… 22? Which is album 4 track 6.. 10.

10/22/22 is Midnights 3 am, happy 2nd birthday to the additional 7 tracks

*but also 10/22/2012 is Red’s 12th birthday.

12/2.. 6 days before tour ends, and 4 days before she picks back up in Vancouver. That is another 10.

Which would give you 20, just like the amount of stars on the Midnights Cardigan released on 10/21/24. 10 on the Back 10 on the Front. (BF)

Lover is also connected to cardigan. So far I have counted 17 songs that connect to 1 line of that song. “Once in 20 lifetimes”. Not to mention isnt lifetime premiering a Christmas movie that everyone thought was about TS and TK?

Her cardigans are knit. You can knit with string, which takes shape in the cardigan. And way to knit with thread is finger knitting… the crowd goes wild at her fingertips. Your finger on my hairpin trigger… like the excessive amount of Bobby pins in her hair in the FN music video with PM she feels so high school so she never wants to grow up. She’s a writer so her use of forms form a story line of their own entirely.

Her writing is incredible, to weave it all like a BASKET to carry these eggs in.

Like for example out of the woods is connected to the use of 20, the lyric says “twenty stitches” and then you see the connection to Shawn Mendes Stitches and then the connection of their collaboration on the Lover remix ahhh in which those lyrics say “the girl in my story has always been you i’d go down with the titanic its true, for you, lover.”

*on 4/15/1912 the Titanic sank.

PAUSE FOR HISTORY

*Titanic the movie was released on 12/19/1997 was there room on the door? Ugh door…. The KARMA door. It’s really all about transportation at this point, my goodness..

*oh but wait 12/19… Happy BD Jake. —-> ATW scarf is about him? Maybe she just gets cold? Personally I think that it’s symbolic of falling in love HARD for the first time and it is a core memory?

*12/19 is also look for an evergreen day—->champagne problems.

****Thinking out Loud ES 2:14 mark your soul could never grow old its evergreen…. We fell in love right where we are, right where you left me. One direction concert film Where We Are was released on 10/11/2014… 17 days later TS released 1989. 17 days apart. 7+1=8.

*the mirror of 10/11 is 11/10… 3 years later she released reputation. 3rd album is Speak Now which was released on 10/25/2010. Which is 3 days from when I’m typing this. Weirddd. So the last song on TTPD was The Manuscript and track 7 on SN is The Story of Us… the story of my life. Us.

*12/19/1924 the last Rolls Royce Silver Ghost is sold in London.

*ah welp 1701 were produced where I fear the dogs and cats are in danger.

*12/19/1984 Wayne Gretzky is the 18th and youngest player to hit 1000 points.

*12/19/1995 2 years b4 the Titanic movie The Queen asked Diana and Charles to divorce.

*12/19/1998 Bill Clinton was impeached. ——>high infidelity…. Such a torrid affair.

YOU MAY CONTINUE

4/15/2023 in Tampa FL she brought out Aaron Dessner to sing The Great War (track 14 on Midnights 3 am, but that is also the 1st song out of the 7 added, 1/14 is DG BD.) which brings it. Full circle to M3AM 10/22. TR lol thats a mirror of RT where I spent about 7 years of my life, weird.

*cardigan imo is connected all the way back to debut. I think that is her literal invisible string she is giving to the fans to have a more meaningful way to connect to her songs. The cardigan could be symbolized as a cloak if you are following the witch rumors. It could be seen as a cape and that it gives her super powers. She wore it on screen for us to see so she wanted you to know it was more than a song to her, it meant something deep enough that she had to create something just to remember the song itself. I think it’s really poetic and beautiful and, she’s showing you that she does wear her heart on her sleeve. Well stars, “the way my blue eyes shine but those Georgia stars to shame…”

*”she had stars in her eyes” to be dazzled and hopeful.

Lover and Clara Bow..

Also imo to the newest cardigan would be the word “Once.” She is telling a story, regardless of who it is about her story line is a story that makes sense when it never made sense in the first place which is why there are so many eggs, by the fandom connecting the eggs you all can create a story. And holy fucking shit as I type this it is hitting me. She is giving all the people therapy through her videos and her music and her tours. She is releasing the positive endorphins into the air that seep into our pores…. “I put narcotics in my songs..” what about the wonderdrug? Or what was once “sunshine in a bottle”—->pocket full of sunshine? Or pocket full of Prozac?

So when that woman uses once in lyrics I look to see the use of it because way back when she said I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your Eye. Omg tomorrow is a Tuesday… and it’s M3AM BD. lol thats funny.

I do think she is connecting it back to debut as a nod to Cold As You as well. Just because the first letter of each word is CYA and I think thats funny.

**oh also in the TTPD file folder it says “I enter into my tarnished coat of arms” the cardigan literally goes on her arms… tarnished…rust? Hello Maroon and High Infidelity. And if she is rolling the stone away and revealing the truth about herself and they are gonna crucify her anyways. Then what more of a poetic way for her to give her fans a cardigan that they can think of her when she puts it on, because when shit hits the fan are you gonna be a fan? If her truth isn’t as pretty as the pictures will you still stand behind her? You say yes right now, but remember there are two sides to everyone’s story. But what if you were famous wouldn’t you start to create maybe another version that only a select version know, if you learn to live a story line for your career wouldn’t it be just as easy to do it for your personal life? When TTPD came out I had a theory in my mind she was a pure angelic virgin. NO ONE KNOWS.

The cool thing about my theory is that this is the biggest creative break through I have had in years, so even if I am losing my mind at least I have a storyline. So thank you Taylor for breaking my writers block.

[thebadtimewolf]

hi.

just so yall know, the doctor has had sex.

he just hasnt had sex with human girls post time war. hence the dancing allegory.

he thought about it but, the act he hasnt even attempted with human women. it's implied with marilyn, queen elizabeth i and cleopatra but based on his reaction to both, its more like he left before the act but after the marriage.

unfortunately, for some, river doesnt count as a human girl. scarlette (lucita marne) could count but she did fake her death so 8 wouldnt just watch the world ripped apart as he rambled about the golden girls gleefully in the wrong era drinking tea in pjs.

i will not ignore rassilon x the other (aka the dr) × patience erasure.

theres a reason [besides the fact of tecteun siphoning the dr's dna for immortality] that makes rassilion and the master act like bitter exes from a divorce and attempts to kill the dr — the doctor fucked the master and rassilion and then forgot (memory wiped) about it to the point of the dr assuming those were two different time lords instead of him.

which yknow its good thing they're dead i guess? what 26 kids (with only one of his kids being susan's dad) and who knows how many grandkids. like no wonder they had to get everyone into looms fast good lord, brainwash that dr into thinking they were loomed just to really stop him alone: thats way too much to handle (though it does explain the large france house 14 buys...) and HE WANTS ANOTHER??

at least its canon he has shagged romana which was a nice tongue-n-cheek ref to the relationship between the actors at the time

but yeah the dr hasnt had any sex post time war. hes very good at flirting and implying it but he hasnt really settled into doing the act again. time lords (mainly tecteun) were determined to make sure the dr didnt procreate again. (26 kids, 13 kids per wife im. thats too many damn kids.)

hes a retired old slut. well not for houdini but its houdini! houdini figure the drs kink immediately and now nearly 50 years, the keeps running back to houdini for more.

But hey, the drs adoptive dad (that tecteun set him up to make the dr forget the existence of her entirely) that we hear in the listen ep that dr hates is still on the market. so yknow......

you have options!

3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 12 (and implied fugitive dr and now 15) didnt whore themselves out to everyone except their human companions just for yall to ignore that the doctor is simultaneously asexual aromantic to his human female companions and polyromantic omnisexual to everyone else.

at least we know its not forefront tho

Their Great Reward by BeautifulFiction (T, 10,095 w., 1 Ch. || UST, First Kiss, Fluff) – Boxing day, in John's opinions, is the worst day of the year. Christmas is over, the tree is wilting and stripped of gifts, and there's a week of dead-time until the clean slate of the new year. However the combination of a blizzard, a power-cut and Sherlock might just make it a day to remember.

The Five Stages of Mourning, Plus One by SunnyRea (T, 10,557 w., 1 Ch. || MCD, Pining / Grieving Sherlock, URT, Heavy Angst, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Drug Use, Graphic Death, Depression, Unhappy Ending) – Sherlock did not want this, did not want another stalemate with John in the middle, a gun in Jim's hand.

Tomura Shigaraki x AllMight!Daughter!Reader

Chapter 7

Premis:

When The League of Villians discovers that AllMight has a daughter, they are quick to snatch you up and hold you hostage. Shigaraki had a careful and thought out plan, but that was before you got there. Now you're in the mood for some not-so-healthy rebellion.

Word Count: 2,270

Warnings: Fighting, trauma, family issues, etc. 

A/N:

I'm really glad you guys seem to like this series, I'm having a lot of fun with it! Please don't be afraid to interact, like, comment, share, and I do requests too! Every little bit helps support me. I also post my original work on my Wattpad, and I have a Patreon if you wanna support me further! I hope you enjoy the chapter!

chapter 6  Chapter 8 

"How long has it been since you last took your medication?" Shigaraki asked from across the room, seated in a chair as he adjusted the quirk-neutralizing gloves over his hand.

"The day you took me." You told him, standing awkwardly waiting in the middle of the room. The old office space had furniture pressed against the walls to create an open space. A makeshift ring for fighting. Shigaraki had tried to get you to use your quirk to do so, but you found yourself unable to control it. He stood from his seat, dressed in a comfortable set of all black. As were you, something Toga had brought for you at Shigaraki's request.

"How long have you been working out for?" He asked. His eyes and face nearly emotionless. He was cold and calculating. Trying to put pieces of a puzzle together to form what he perceives as you.

"Since I can remember. Mom always had me in some kind of sport. She said it would help me keep my head straight."

"Today I'll be judging your physical skills outside of your quirk. Even if you had control, you can't always rely on your quirk alone."

"Don't have to tell me twice." You scoffed, holding your hands up to protect your face as Shigaraki shifted into a defensive stance.

"Don't hold anything back." He ordered. He moved closer, walking with you as your bodies traced a circle around the ring. You watched him, preparing yourself to fight. This wasn't your first taste of combat. In fact, you had the luxury of free self-defense classes when your mother married her first wife, Sandra. As a hero trainer, Sandra worked to train future heroes before they chose what course they wanted to take in their "hero" careers.

Sandra was a kind woman. She made you feel strong and safe in a way your mother never could. Sandra was more like a mother to you than she ever was. It broke your heart when they divorced. They had been together so long and everything seemed fine. But out of nowhere, Sandra's place in your life shrunk. She still called to talk and sent you birthday/holiday gifts, but she wasn't around anymore. You felt you had lost the only parent you'd ever truly had.

Distracted, a hit to your cheek shook you awake. You paused and turned. He hadn't really even hit you that hard, just pushed your head with his knuckles. You looked at Shigaraki, puzzled.

"You're distracted. Get a grip." He told you. You felt embarrassed. You adjusted your stance and dug your heels into the concrete floor. You looked into his eyes and furrowed your brow.

"Right. Sorry." You blurted. Suddenly he moved, quickly going in for a real hit. With your wrist, you blocked and went in for a hit. Only for him to dodge and aim for your stomach. He hit and hard. It was enough to shake you, but not enough to get you down. You raised your fists up and brought them down on his upper back, knocking him to his knees. That low, you lifted your shoe to kick him in the face. Only to have your ankle swiped out from until you. Hitting the floor, you let out a loud and upset grunt.

"Pay attention. You keep leaving yourself vulnerable." He scolded. Still on his knees, watching you as you pulled yourself away from him. Swinging your legs around to kick him in the gut, creating a distance and knocking him to the floor.

It hurt him, but not enough. He hardly even seemed hurt by it at all. All it did was create distance. Any normal man would be down for the count, but Shigaraki was no normal man. You'd have to be smarter than that.

"Is that all?" He mocked before charging you again. You held up your fists to block punch after steady punch. Bruising the back of your hands and forearms. His movements were quick and steady now. You found your opening and cut up into his ribs. He flexed before you could hit, doing little to no damage. You repeatedly hit his ribs when there was an opening, hoping to wear him down or build up in preparation to rush him. No such luck. He would flex and lean into the hit absorbing your impact so it did almost nothing but maybe hurt a bit.

You dodged and blocked as best you could, but eventually he landed a hard hit to your cheek, sending you back a bit.

"Years of athletics and this is it?" He asked with a grin.

"Piss off. It's been a little while since my last fight." You told him, lunging forward to rain a series of hits down on him. You even landed a few, the more you fought, the more you got used to his movements and his tactics. You knew winning or at least passing this fight wouldn't be about strength, it'd be about getting him to quit. You'd have to outsmart him, or at least distract him.

You backed him up to the center of the ring, hitting harder into his ribs so it forced him back. Regardless of how hard you hit, even if it was a good one, it always seemed more like a wild inconvenience than a painful hit to his body. He'd let out deep grunts here and there, maybe a comment or two, but otherwise he was quiet. He watched you as you moved around him. Watched the way you hit and dodged and danced around him. Swinging your leg up to bring your knee to his nose. Thats what got him.

He backed up, holding his face as he groaned. He looked down at his hand, no blood. You hadn't hit hard enough to draw blood, just enough to hurt. Its not like you were too weak to break his nose, your hits to his ribs and his back proved that. You were strong. You controlled your hit.

"I said don't hold back." He grumbled. You shrugged.

"I'm not. I just didn't want to damage that pretty face of yours." He scoffed at your joke. He charged you again, setting off another round. It would take an hour of fighting like this before he became satisfied. You swung your foot to his face again, only for him to grab ahold of your ankle to stop it. His eyes met yours as the two of you panted.

The way he looked at you. It wasn't cold or calculating, no gears were turning. It had stopped. His grip loosened, a few fingers raising away. The glove on his hand made a loud creaking sound as he moved away. His expression appeared satisfied, content, and almost pleased. It made your cheeks feel warm. You weren't joking when you said, 'pretty face' you really did find him strangely attractive.

"We're done for now. We'll work on your pacing later." He told you as he pushed your foot away so it fell back to the floor. You hopped back as you tried to stabilize yourself as you watched him walk back to his chair. He tossed a bottle of water at you. You fumbled with it before finally grasping it to take a drink.

"How'd I do, teach?" You jokingly called him. He raised his brow at the name as he drank from his water.

"You need work, your style and movements need to be refined. And you could be a bit stronger. But," he paused, looking away from you, "you're okay. Our real focus needs to be on your quirk. You need to gain more control."

"Control." You muttered to yourself as you looked out a window in thought. "My meds always kept me in control."

"No. Your meds kept you weak. You needed structure and help, not medication." He told you, approaching you as he removed his gloves.

"Why don't you keep those on?" You asked. "Wouldn't it be easier to-"

"I can't rely on them all the time. Like your meds, If I wore them all the time, I'd hardly know how to function without them. Then, when I'd need to use my quirk, I might make a mistake and not realize it till it's too late." He placed his palm on your shoulder, fingers splayed out in the air. "I'd lose the control I've worked for. That's why you need to learn how to control your own powers. So you don't need the meds at all." Fingers came down on your shoulder, all but his thumb which held out. He gave your shoulder a tight squeeze.

"But, not everyone on meds can just go off them and be okay. That's not how it works, medication is different than gloves-" He squeezed tighter, leaning in closer to face you and get your attention.

"You're not everyone, Y/N. You're stronger than you think." He growled before suddenly letting go and walking out of the room. You gripped the water bottle in your hands as your heart raced in your chest. Your lip began to quiver and your eyes started to water. You hadn't heard those words in a longer time. It was strange to hear such encouraging words from him. But the way he looked at you, he meant it. You nervously looked around the room as the tears started to fall.

They were gentle, sad tears. When was the last time someone had been so encouraging? So, patient and willing to work with you like this. You chuckled through the tears at the horrible revelation. This came from a villian, your captor no less, a man trying to use you for his own selfish gain. Even now, in helping you, he was probably trying to use you to help him somehow. Still though, what did that say about your own family?

Speak of the devil. Your mother starred out the apartment window, teeth gnawing on her nail. Her eyes peered down at the cars below and the people on the street. Her other hand dug into her side, supporting her other elbow.

"Hey..." Toshinori called to her. She paused and turned her head towards him. Her eyes still anxiously glued to the window. Your father sighed. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" She spat.

"For...For everything." His terrible posture consumed him as he shuffled forward to stand beside her. "This is all my fault."

"No. It's not. It was my idea to send her to Japan for the summer." She stated. She continued to gnaw on her nail, absently starring outside.

"Can I ask you something?" He mumbled, sharing her view.

"What?"

"Back then...when we first met. Well, do you ever regret-"

"Are you asking me if I regret my own daughter?" She barked. Toshinori let out a startled grunt.

"Uh! No! I just- You never- All these years-" your mother sighed.

"Sometimes." She said softly, almost a whisper it was so quiet. "I wouldn't give her up for the world. But sometimes, I wish things were different. I wish I had known the things I know now. I just wish things could have been different."

"She told me about school. How come you never came to me for the money?" Your mother scoffed at him.

"It was never a money issue. It was a work issue. After her tantrum, she needed a distraction. She needed to stay focused on her work so she didn't fall behind. She ran away, yknow."

"No. I...I didn't."

"Yeah well, she threw a fit over something stupid, classes I think. She stopped taking her meds and ran away to a friend's house for a while before her friend called me to come get her. Her fits had gotten so bad it nearly destroyed her apartment. Had to call the police. It was so bad. She spent time in a facility for a month before she finally came around."

"A facility? Why didn't I hear about this?" Your mother turned to him with a sad and tired gaze.

"Why would you care? Usually you're too busy with hero work to even send her a birthday card. You think you could have helped her? You hardly even know her." Your mother scoffed. Toshinori fell silent before taking in a deep breath and speaking again.

"I may not have been there for her then, but," he held his head up, balling his hand into a fist, "I won't let her down this time. I promise, from here on out I'm going to be the best father I can be. I won't let my little girl down ever again."

"Where's this coming from? You hardly ever expressed interest in her before. Is it because she's finally someone that needs saving?" She mocked.

"It's true that I always put my career above everything else. Y/N always frightened me, I never knew what to say or do. I just wanted her to be safe, I thought I was doing the right thing by leaving her alone and letting her live her life away from mine. But when I saw her at the airport, all grown up, I realized how long it'd been. How absent I was. And talking to her, I realized how smart and kind she is. I regret not being there for her. For you, when you needed me. But she needs a hero now more than ever and I won't let either of you down."

"Are you sure you can handle it? From what I hear, your last fight with All For One was your last."

"I'll do what I can."

I got tagged for this so...

Nickname: Patch. It’s short for Patrick and I simply cannot stand anyone calling me Pat, so I forced this one on my friends.

Zodiac: Virgo. My mom is super into this stuff and could give you a full run down but it’s not my bag so this is all I remember.

Height: 5’3” Not short… compact.

Last movie I saw: Gunpowder Milkshake. I thought it was a fairly basic shoot ‘em up with the only twist being that it starred a bunch of women rather than a bunch of men. Nice visuals and threadbare plot.

Last thing I googled: not counting work related stuff (something about limitation periods & COVID) was something related to NHL contracts because I was trying to argue that a certain player was over paid.

Favourite Musician: Don’t have one. Not really at least.

Song stuck in my head: Deutschland by Rammstein. It’s the part thats kinda like call and response. Anyways… stuck like fucking glue for a few days now.

Other blogs: Nope. I do have a twitter… which I try to keep more professional.

Blogs following: Many. Surprising, not all Terror related.

Amount of sleep: 6 hrs give or take. Climb into bed around 9pm, go to sleep around 11, wake up around 5. Get out of bed around 7.

Lucky number: doesn’t matter

What am I wearing: today is work from home day so: grey t-shirt, khaki shorts. No socks. Yesterday I wore my navy suit, white shirt with grey check pattern and decided to skip the tie since I wasn’t meeting any clients.

Dream job: I wish my current job paid more. I work for a legal clinic that handles civil matters for low income people. For me that stuff like landlord/tenant issues, debt collectors, wills & estates, etc. I’m leaving it for a “regular firm” where I’ll handle divorces where people will argue over who gets the four fucking snowmobiles. It will pay the bills and more but at what price to my soul?

Dream trip: New Zealand. Because I want to be one of those (annoying) LOTR tourists.

Favourite food: Pretty much anything salmon.

Play an instrument: I tried to learn how to play the drums when I was like… 10 or something. I sucked at it and gave up.

Languages: English. I have a reading knowledge of German, which means I can muddle through with a good dictionary. I know a handful of Cree words & phrases. I try to read/speak French with a terrible American accent just to annoy my husband who is functionally bilingual like the good Canadian he is.

Favourite Songs: None. Sometimes I relive my ill-spent youth and put on some sort of “top Alt-Rock Hits of the 2000s”. Does that count?

Random fact: You can sue a manufacturer because some lady found a snail in her ginger beer.

Describe yourself as aesthetic things: Ikea catalogue with it’s casual yet carefully curated put together look. It looks very middle-class if a bit rundown. Then you open the drawers & cupboards to find all sorts of weird shit just stuffed in there randomly. Faded pictures of university aged kids in budget shopping LARP costumes and bad pencil drawings of some beefy welsh guy who needs a better agent. A peek into the armoire reveals a collection that would make DI Felix Kane really excited. Under the bed are boxes of random papers and books on everything from knot tying to how to make pivot tables in Excel to goat farming.

Coming Out to Dinner

A/N: HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Okay so this maybe a little late but in my defense my parents are divorced so I had second Thanksgiving today with my mom. This plot has been in my head for a while and it just felt appropriate to make it a Thanksgiving fic. Hopefully even if you don’t celebrate the holiday you can still enjoy this fic.

Summary: It’s November in Storybrooke Thanksgiving just around the corner. The Swan-Jones family is celebrating in a special way this year. (takes place after season 7)

🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

“What are we doing for Thanksgiving next week,” Hope asked as munched on a waffle on morning.

Killian looked up at his wife waiting to hear the answer as well. He still didn’t really understand the holiday or why they celebrated it even after all these years living in this realm.

“Well,” Emma said as she chewed on a piece of bacon, “Your grandparents are in charge of cooking. Your grandpa is cooking the turkey. Then grandmas making roasted carrots, greenbean casserole, brussel sprouts, broccoli with cheese, sweet potatoes-”

“What about the mashed potatoes and stuffing?” Hopes face was full of concern over her favorite sides.

“I’m making those,” Emma stated taking another beat of her bacon.

“Grandma’s letting you incharge of not one but two sides?!”

Emma rolled her eyes, “I can boil potatoes, and the stuffing is coming from the box. I can follow instructions.”

Hope eyed her mother, “Okay but where we having it whose all coming?”

Emma swallowed the last bit of her bacon, “I think this year is gonna be smaller then previous ones. Regina said she probably won’t be able to make it this year. I think Henry and Ella are planning on surprising Regina with take out but they maybe over for dessert. Granny is staying open on Thanksgiving so shes busy. Zelena is Zelena. So I think its just gonna be us with your grandparents and uncle.”

“We will be hosting this feast this year,” Hopes father finally spoke up, “and you are free to invite someone if you’d like, love.”

Hope looks as if she about to say something before she decides against it. She bites her lip and turns her attention back onto her breakfast. Her parents gave each other a look before returning to their own food.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

WEEK OF THANKSGIVING

Hope sat on her bed reading the newest book Henry brought over for her when her phone rang. Her face lit up when she saw who was calling her.

“Hello beautiful,” Hope answered.

“Hello to you too gorgeous,” a femmene voice replied.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of receiving your call, milady.”

A giggle came through her phone that warmed Hopes heart. “I just wanted to call and see what you were up to.”

“I’m just hanging out in my room. Henry brought over a new book for me.”

“Oh I’m sorry if I’m disturbing you from your reading.”

“Not at all. I’m sure it’s a fine book but I’d rather be talking to you.” 

“Well aren’t you one smooth talker. I bet you can do more than just talk with that silver tongue of yours.”

Hope starts choking on her own spit. 

Laughter once again rings her ears, “I’m only teasing. Your so cute when you get flustered.”

Hope clears her throat trying to regain her composure, though her cheeks still felt warm. “So uh what are you doing for Thanksgiving?”

“If this is your way of asking me to Thanksgiving dinner with your family, I accept.”

“No. I was-”

“I don’t think my family are dong anything they might be going to Grannies.”

“But I-”

 “Don’t get me wrong I love Grannys. But it’s Thanksgiving your suppose to have a home cooked meal. Plus being able to finally meet-”

“I’M NOT INVITING YOU TO DINNER,” Hope all but yelled.

The silence that followed was deafening. Hope realizing what she did covered her mouth wishing she could take it back. 

“Oh.”

Taking her hand away from her mouth Hope spoke, “I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to yell and I didn’t mean for it to sound like that. I would love for you to come over-”

“It’s okay. I get if its a just the family thing.”

“No its not- Its not that.”

“Okay so what is it?”

Hope squeezed her eyes shut as she prepared to say this next part, “I haven’t told my parents.”

“You haven’t told your parents what?”

“About us. That I have a girlfriend.”

“... Are you embarrassed by me?”

“No! No. This has nothing to do with you and everything to do with me.” 

“I’m not following.”

The tears Hope was holding in began to fall, “I’m-I’m scared. I don’t know how they will react or-or if they will even accept me. I don’t want to hide you or our relationship but I also don’t want my parents to hate me.”

“Aww babe.”

Hope began crying more as panic set in, “What if they tell me I can’t see you anymore? Or-or they make me go to therapy? Or they kick me out?”

“Baby you don’t really think they would kick you out, do you?”

“I don’t know,” Hope sniffled, “My dad is over 300 years old so he’s really old fashioned. My mom doesn’t talk about stuff so I have no idea what my mom thinks. Trust me, there have been so many times I have almost told them. So many times I have wanted to tell them about my beautiful funny girlfriend but I’m so scared.”

“Hey hey its okay. I get it. Tell them when you feel comfortable and safe to. okay? I don’t want you to feel pressured.”

Hope wiped her nose before replying with a soft “okay.”

“So... I’m your beautiful funny girlfriend am I?”

The conversation turned back to light teasing. Both females blissfully unaware of the figure moving away from the door and heading back downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

THANKSGIVING

After a relaxing morning sipping on hot chocolate with cinnamon and watching the parade the Swan-Jones family split up. Emma getting the kitchen ready to be cooked in, Killian setting the table and Hope upstairs to change for dinner and wait for her grandparents and uncle to arrive. 

“Hope!” 

Hope her her father call for her from downstairs. 

“Come down, love. Guests should be here any minute.”

Hope marches downstairs and heads to the kitchen to see if there’s anything she can help with. Thats when the table caught her eye. Her brows furrowed as she counted the place settings.

“I thought just grandma, grandpa and uncle Neil were coming over. Why are there so many plates?”

Just then the doorbell rang. Hope turned her head and watched as her father opened the door greeting their new arrivals.

“Lady Ruby. Lady Dorothy thank you for joining us today. Happy Thanksgiving.”

“Happy Thanksgiving Captain. Thank you for for inviting us.”

Hope quirked up an eyebrow, “Aunt Ruby?”

Ruby turned, her polite smile turning into a shit eating grin, “There’s my favorite lemur.”

Ruby quickly approached her niece wrapping her arms around her in a big hug. “It feels like forever since I’ve seen you. One of these day we are gonna go out just you and me.”

“What are you doing here? I thought Grannys was staying open.”

“Oh it is. Granny said she and the rest of the staff could handle it.”

“Ahem.”

Ruby finally released her niece stepping away so Hope could see the dark haired woman standing just a step behind her aunt. 

“OH sorry babe. Hope I don’t think you two have met. This is Dorothy my signifcant other.”

Hopes eyes blown wide, she’s so in shock she nearly misses when Dorothy extends a hand to her. 

“It’s nice to finally meet you Hope.”

Hope shakes herself out of it to grab the offered hand and shake it. 

“Um yeah you too. So how long have you two been together?” she asks hesittantly.

“Um I think maybe a year or two before you were born.”

“WHAT?! How am I only hearing about this now?”

Ruby chuckles before offering an explanation, “Well unlike your parents or grandparents we don’t feel the need to be together all the time. Or to talk about our relationship. Dorothy is also very busy being in charge of the OZ section of Storybrooke and the munchkins that live there.”

Hope was at a lost for words, thankfully she didn’t need them as the couple excused themselves to go say hello to her mother. Not long after that her grandparents and uncle. Soon the house smelled of food and light chatter. 

The door bell rang and a curious Hope answered. She opened the door to find two men standing now their porch. One had brown hair with green eyes and clean shaven, the other had brown eye with salt and pepper hair with matching beard. “Um, hi. Can I help you?”

“Sorry to disturb you. Does Captain Hook live here by any chance?” asked the bearded one.

Hope eyed the men before turning her head and calling for her father. When he saw who was at the door he greeted the men with a smile. “James! Thomas! Glad to see you two could make it. Come in please.”

Killian opened the door wider allowing the men to step through, closing the door behind them one they entered. Killian wrapped an arm around his daughter before introducing everyone.

“Hope I’d like you to meet some of my old crew mates.”

“Hi.” Hope gave both of them a small wave.

“This here is James,” he introduced the bearded man.

“Its a pleasure to meet you, Hope.”

Hope nodded giving him a polite smile.

“And this,” her father gestured to the clean shaven man, “is his partner Thomas.”

“Husband actually. After all these years we finally got hitched.”

“Well congrats gents. That’s marvelous. Come on let me get you both a drink and introduce you to everyone.” Killian droopped a kiss to his daughters hea before unwrapped his arm from around her leading the couple further into the house. Leaving Hope standing their stuck in her own head. 

Two hours later the food is almost ready and everyone is starting to gather around the table when the door bell rings again.

“I got it,” Emma called. She came back a minute later with Alice and Robin in tow. “Look what the cat dragged in everyone.”

A chorus of greetings followed.

“Hi everyone. Sorry if we are late but we brought chocolate covered strawberries.”

“No worries at all foods almost done so take a seat,” Emma waved away their apology, taking the plate and placing it in the fridge to save for later.

“And don’t worry Alice. We are making a plate for your father so you can take to him. Robin we can make one for you mother too if you’d like,” David offered.

“Thank you,” Alice smiled.

“Yeah thanks. I think she would appreciate a little plate.” Robin replied.

As everyone settled at the table, Snow and David began to fill it with all the sides and dishes that were created. Hope took a moment to look around the table to all their guests. Seeing all the friendly faces, and feeling the warm atmosphere, in that instance she made up her mind. 

Turning to her mother she asked, “Can I barrow the car?” Not bothering to wait for an answer as she put on her shoes and jacket.

Emma raised an eyebrow at her daughter. “And where are you going?”

“Theres someone missing,” She said as she closed the door behing her.

Twenty minutes later Hope is back but this time she is holding hands with a dark skinned girl. 

“Mom. Dad. Everyone, this is Celine. My girlfriend.” Her voice trembled slighty when she spoke.

Squeezing Hopes hand in what she hoped was a comfortng way, Celine smiled and waved at evryone. “Hello. Its a pleasure to be here.”

The small silence was broken by the sound of Killian pushing his chair back. He approached the young girls stoping in front of them. He offered a gentle smile before reaching forward. “Thank you for joining us Celine. Its an honor to meet you.”

Hope let out  a breath she wasn’t aware she was holding in, one lone tear escaped the corner of her eye sliding down her cheek. 

“Please come sit we were just about to begin dinner.”

Dinner went on smoothly. Filled with friendly chatter and compliments of the wonderful food. After dinner Henry, Ella, and Lucy all made an appearance for games then dessert. After dessert people started to had home. When it was down to just her grandparents and uncle left, who always stay to help clean up, Hope approached her mother from behind. Wrapping her arms around her in a hug, Hope whispered a ‘thank you’ inot her mothers shoulder.

“You have nothing to thank me for. You should talk to your dad though. He was the one who insisted we invite evryone.” Emma dried off her hands before turning around and returning the hug.

“I don’t care who you date. As long as they treat you well and you are happy. No matter what you will always be my daughter and I will always love you.”

Once they let go Hope went to find her father which didnt take long. She found him sitting on the front step enjoying the calm night. She sat down next to him leaning against his arm and laying her head on his shoulder.

“How did you know?”

“I heard you on the talking phone earlier this week. I thought it best to show you evrything was alright then to tell you.” Killian looked at his daughter, “I am a 300 year old pirate there isn’t anything I haven’t seen before. I fought to hard for my happy ending to judge others on their own.”

Hope nodded understanding what her dad was trying to say.She cuddled into her father more whispering ‘I love you dad,’ into his neck. 

Killian kissed the top of her head, “I love you too love. And nothing you do will ever change that.”

ranking the nancy drew games based on dead mom content™

you read that right. also spoiler warning obviously

33. ransom of the seven ships  -1/10   no dead mom content. negative bc of the fact that there’s blackface

32-24. stay tuned for danger, message in a haunted mansion, the final scene, secret of the scarlet hand, ghost dogs of moon lake, danger on deception island, the secret of shadow ranch, danger by design, the shattered medallion  0/10  no dead mom content™

23. the captive curse  0/10   no mom mentioned for lukas, is she dead or just somewhere else? we just don’t know.

22-21. secrets can kill, the deadly device  0.5/10  someone is dead but it is not a mom

20. the phantom of venice  .75/10  only a dead husband here...no moms

19. treasure in the royal tower  1/10 no dead mom but there’s dead estranged dad content. was marie antoinette a mom? idk

18. the white wolf of icicle creek  1/10  kinda estranged mom content but shes still alive. yanni’s grandma was killed by wolves if that counts and if he was telling the truth about that.

17. alibi in ashes  2/10  i cant remember if kate is ever mentioned, but just the fact that they’re in river heights and carson is gone and can’t help and she doesn’t have kate to help her out and has to go to her friends....idk hits if u think about it

16. last train to blue moon canyon  3/10  camille hurley was not able to have kids so technically isn’t a dead mom but she had her dolls....still sad as hell

15. curse of blackmoor manor  4/10  we learn about the penvellyn family so of course a family full of dead ancestors is full of dead mothers. one of those dead mothers is the iconic elinor who died from being burned at the stake. also the underlying plot is happening because of, not a dead mom, but a divorce and then new stepmom. lotta mom content in general.

14. the haunting of castle malloy  5/10  fiona’s parents were both killed in an explosion and really messed that girl up.

13. labyrinth of lies 5/10  grigor is an orphan, therefore there is some dead mom content, but its very minimal.

12. midnight in salem   5/10  not a technical dead mom, but dead mother figure with frances tuttle and lauren holt (i think that was their relationship....i played it once and theres not much on the wiki for MID yet) so technically the whole plot is in thanks to it, but i dont remember how much grief there was

11. trail of the twister  6/10  some dead wife content that nancy is an absolute dick about. you read the paper about ma. stop fucking pestering pa.

10. legend of the crystal skull  6/10  we get mr sad boy orphan henry bolet crying at his parents’ crypt. also his mom has the same photo as dr predovicu

9. the creature of kapu cave  7/10  for once we get a hardy asking someone about their dead mom instead of nancy! even tho, no one involved seems too sad about it and is very briefly mentioned. in fact, pua seems kinda happy that it’s just her and her dad so she can just surf all day.

8. ghost of thornton hall  7.5/10  again, dead mom content just because we learn about ancestors. a lotta dead sister/cousin content though. also it really hits you when you’re looking at the dates on the family tree and realize that harper and charlotte’s parents died like 4 years before charlotte died, and then harper and clara were alone except for each other. also the fact that clara’s mother died while she was young and before she ever told her who her father was just to have her new guardians die......rough.

7. secret of the old clock  8/10  woooo!!! another plot caused by a dead mom!!! not at traumatic as haunted carousel, but the culprit posing as your recently deceased mother’s friend is ROUGH. also nancy is actually nice when talking about gloria.

6. warnings at waverly academy  8/10  the twins’ mom dying and dad not knowing how to raise 2 girls causing them to pretend to be one person to get a scholarship and not be put up for adoption is so messy but a very good plot twist

5. tomb of the lost queen  8/10  jamila having a similar experience to nancy, where she thought her mom died in a  car crash, but turns out she was part of something bigger that she follows in her footsteps, KNOWING that it might end in her death too. AND those notes from that first exploration and all of the daughters of nerfertari leaving to find their ultimate dead mom (nefertari) and dying/disappearing in the process....idk it gets me!!

4. sea of darkness  9/10  here we have some primo dead wife action, along WITH the child. extremely sad and gets me absolutely every time i play through it.....the fact that he holds onto it being his fault.... oh my god im getting sad again!!!

3. the haunted carousel  10/10  dead mom content to the MAX. dead dad giving clues to daughter to find the last remaining photo of her dead mother since she burned every image of her after she died and then blacked out the memory. thats some trauma right there. interestingly.... im not sure if we learn her mom’s name even though her plot revolves around remembering her.

2. shadow at the water's edge  11/10  oh yeah theres a dead mom and shes HAUNTING YOU!!! kasumi’s story is so sad and nancy has absolutely no right to be poking into these people’s lives and absolutely deserves every time she gets second chanced because asked the wrong thing about their dead mom. also SO absolutely fucked up that anyone’s boyfriend would go “hmm, i want my sister to quit her job and move to the city with me,... oh yes! i’ll haunt her business with her dead mother. perfect!”

1. the silent spy  10000000/10   the FUCKING ULTIMATE DEAD MOM CONTENT™. nancy suddenly learning that her mother wasn’t just a civilian who died in a car crash and that the people who killed her were now after her??? so juicy. we get carson trying to protect nancy from kate’s fate, we get all those flashbacks, those recordings from revenant, nancy piecing together her mother’s double life that she never knew about... GOD!!!! and yes, i absolutely cry when i read kate’s note to nancy. that shit hits man. also kate writing a song for her and carson and then rewriting it to have a part for nancy in it once nancy was born really gets me too. p.s. moira was in love with kate you can’t convince me otherwise.

well. thanks for taking this journey with me.

Hi!! I know I say it many times but...I just love your premade gameplay so so much!!! It's a huge inspiration! :) I am hoping to rotate between premade households too and I am wondering if you have any tips for a newbie like me? Apart from the stuff that you roll, do you have everything planned before you play a household or do you just have a general idea of what's going to happen and take screenshots as you go? Thank you!! and keep up the great work! ^^ *hugs*

Oh boy some tips, so lets see: 

1. I dont plan everything but I have a general idea on where to go for some families(like the vatores(caleb leaving was planned),and vlad(you uh will see this one later), victor using dina for an heir etc..) and other times I just let things happen and see where it takes me( the jangs and delgatos recovering from the affair, Akira breaking up with J etc…). For example J and Akira were going to stay together and have some kids but they were such and odd couple from the start that I couldnt get them to mesh with each other the way I wanted so they broke up and Akira is on the lookout for a new life partner.  Being flexible is a big part of it, if something just isn’t working I let it not work and come up with a new plan.

2. If things feel boring do something different. My sims tend to stay at home and work on their skills A LOT and while that’s interesting to me, no one wants to see the same sim paint 20 paintings. So I try to at least have one outing where the sim goes somewhere typically with someone not in the household. These outings I dont plan what the sims are going to do while there(unless I need some story shots), I tend to just let them go and see what they do.

3. Have a planned switching day and time. I typically am done playing a household and ready for a new one every 6 sim days or so. Either their stuff is just dragging on or im out of ideas so the 7th day I dont control the sims at all. I just let them fill their time how they want without me micromanaging them and see what happens. After the 7th day I’m usually so excited to switch and full of ideas for the next household so that’s when I switch.

4. Take advantage of days off or days where you only have one sim with a chunk of time before everyone else comes back home from work/school. That’s your time to focus on that sim and flesh them out a little bit. what would that sim do with that time? if there is a sim that you want to do this with but doesn’t have the time off, use one of those vacation days!

5. Give the sims their own personality quirks and stick with it even if it makes playing harder for you. For example Diego Lobo does not cook his own food, so he goes to the food stand outside his apartment a lot, or to restaurants. Or for example Penny Pizzaz who uploads a viral video first thing every day. Continuing this serves no real purpose. Its not like anyone checks that what you say they do you actually do after all, but I find that it helps form who the sim is in my own mind. It keeps them feeling like a person with their own personality and thoughts. If that makes sense.

6. Sometimes the rolls are wrong. Its okay to go off script and pick your own chance card. Like if Dominic or Moira rolled the divorce card I’d nope it and reroll. There are just some things that don’t fit the character or narrative and you still have all the control. Its not the end all be all, its just a tool to help flesh out the story.

7. Be a good bullshitter. I cant count the number of times I’ve just made stuff up because it sounded believable. Its not always about what the sims did or didnt do, its about the motive behind the action. Accidentally putting the same painting in the Vatore’s and Vlad’s house turns into a feud over the lady in the painting etc… sometimes I realize things later on and am like yep totally planned that(I didnt shhhh!).

8. Take more pictures than you will need. Even if you dont end up posting it at all, take pictures of it anyway. I have found that sometimes I dont know where I was going with something until I realized there were other pictures I had no plans for that went with it and changed the narrative.A picture of Eliza helping Maple doing homework makes her look like a good mom, a picture of Almond doing homework by herself right after makes it look like she has a favorite. Better to have too much and not need it, than have too little and you have to adjust or change the dialogue to fit their faces etc…

Thats it for now I think haha. Thanks for the ask and Im so excited to see where you take the premades! I’m loving Bob and Eliza’s story so far.

It’s choosing to loose an argument where you can prove that you are right with sources because you hate seeing them mad. Love is how you care for someone even when it hurts. Love is putting them first in everything you do

please just help.

7 years ago i had a baby. she was a stillborn and her name was scarlett. scar for short. scars father and i were not in each others lives considering we were both in other relationships (not when i got pregnant) and what we had was just sex to him but he was my best friend soulmate.

a year after scars death i decided to contact him and tell him what happened. im a shit person for waiting so long but i had just started to process it and thought he deserved to know. he was married or engaged or something. they would soon be married.

i told him everything and he confessed he had always been in love with me. hes the only man i have ever loved. (im a lesbian) but not for him. he told me the reason he stopped talking to me was because when we were fooling around he was just using me for sex and then he fell in love with me and he didnt know what to do bc thats never happened before to him. he shoved all those feelings away and when he found out ab scar, they all came back.

i was going to get a tattoo for scarlett. i asked him to come with me. i said his girl could come too. she messaged me. told me how amazing she thought i was and how she was so supportive of me and him being in each others lives. she seemed so sweet.

my tattoo appointment comes up. my first tattoo. my best friend at the time was there but i kept waiting for him. he never showed up. i didnt hear from him for 6 months.

6 months later he contacted me. he told me his wife hated me. that she was jealous of me. made him choose that day between her and me. he chose her because i was taken by who is now my wife. he was deployed and said she wouldnt ever know we were talking. i felt horrible so i told her he was texting me even though i knew it meant we couldnt talk anymore. i knew if it was me i would want to know.

we didnt speak for almost another year. he contacted me first again. told me he wasnt happy with her. and he hadnt been since he found out ab scar. that he wanted to be with me. wanted to have a family with me like we were supposed to have. i didnt tell his wife this time because i missed him so much. i did tell my wife the things he said. and let her know that i was not saying these things in return.

we spoke for a few years behind his wifes back. he would constantly complain ab her to me. cry while sober and drunk that he wishes she was me. or how he hates himself for letting me go. we talked ab scar a lot. we cried together a lot. i fell back in love with him. but not romantically. if that makes sense.

he told me he made it clear to his wife that he didnt love her. that he loved me. that he didnt want a family or a marriage with anyone but me. but yet they still stayed together.

he got deployed again and i didnt hear from him. but she blocked me from all of his social media. he still messaged me the minute he got back. before he even messaged her. we continued to talk behind her back.

he filed for separation. told her to leave and move home and she did. a year or so ago. we were finally able to talk whenever and not just when he was out or she was sleeping. he filed for divorce 6 months after separation. i was so happy. not for being the driving reason a marriage broke up but because he was my best friend in the entireworld. the father of my child. the only person who knew everything about me and the only person i felt 10000% comfortable with.

over the past year we have gotten so close. i cant live without him. when he goes out to sea its so hard. my wife is supportive she knows hes my best friend.

its a week before thanksgiving 2018. we were telling eachother our holiday schedules so we knew when wed be free to talk. we were scheduling me to go visit him for scars bday. we havent seen eachother since she was conceived.

i havent heard from him since then.

he slowly blocked me on everything. down to instagram and snapchat. but not my phone number im pretty sure. ive been in a constant state of anxiety since the last time he spoke to me.

i have anxiety. clinical depression. ptsd from countless traumas. and borderline personality disorder. hes the only person who has taken the time to train himself to know exactly what i need in the event of any kind of mental breakdown and hes not here anymore.

a few months ago i asked him if he was with this girl. i wanted him to say yes because i really wanted him to be happy. he said no. i pressed and he insisted they were just friends. i let it go.

tonight i saw that she posted a picture of them kissing in front of a christmas tree. i started crying on the floor next to my bed so i wouldnt wake up my wife because i am hyperventalating. i cant breathe and i cant understand why because this is what i wanted. but he promised a relationship wouldnt ever get in between us again.

so why has he cut me off. why hasnt he spoken to me. is it her. is it his soon to be ex wife threatening to say he was cheating on her w me bc she said she would do that. i cant help thinking im a fucking failure once again and the person i could ALWAYS count on is the one who is making me feel this way now.

my friends are telling me hes an asshole. not to care. to just get over the friendship and let him go and that shit happens. yeah i know. all my friends leave but he isnt my “friend”. hes everything. hes my person.

im heartbroken like i have never been before and i still only want to talk to him about it like he isnt the one who is doing this to me.

Four years of abuse and these bright red bruise pictures are the only photos?

Where is the broken nose picture? (She later changed her story to it FELT like a broken nose.)

Where is the "he beat me with all his rings on too many times to count" picture?

Where are the cuts on the feet pictures?

Where are the cuts on the arms that she somehow covered up while wearing a sexy Hollywood dress?

Where are the pictures of her thighs after he raped her with a bottle (as her excuse for when she cut off his finger with a bottle, why it had blood on it).

Why are her bruises pictures always the same identical bright red, and never the purple or green bruises eventually become in the days following a bruise's formation? Golly, it's almost like her pictures are fabricated by a suburban woman whose never actually seen what a punch on the face looks like and the only people who would believe these pictures are real are other suburban, sheltered women who have never seen what a punch in the face from a grown ass man who wears large, chunky rings on his hands looks like.

Why is it that if she has a picture EVERY time Johnny bruises her face, and it's always bright red and anyone who has ever actually been in a fight can tell you that bruises are only actually bright red for the first day of their existence, that means that on a psychological level, she's always ready and prepared to take pictures of any damage Johnny did to her... Why is it that she doesn't have pictures of ANY of the cuts and stabs and other damage that would be much harder to fake?

Why does Amber have literally a dozen pictures of Johnny SLEEPING and claim those pictures are evidence of him passing out after a drug induced rage against her... even going so far as to say he was so unconscious that he didn't notice the cigarette in his lap...and when cross examination points out there isn't a cigarette in his lap in the photo, her response is that she took the cigarette off before taking the picture that's supposed to be proof that he was so unconscious that he didn't notice a cigarette burning in his lap.

And why is it that when cross examination asks her that if these pictures are proof he was drug-addled when he cut her, why didn't she also take pictures of the cuts, Amber can only stare blankly and say it didn't occur to her to take pictures of cuts and puncture wounds.

And why is it that when cross examination shows texts messages of Amber texting one of these pictures of Johnny SLEEPING on the floor, the text message wasn't anything about distress or abuse, it was a joke about "this is what I've got to deal with" and her laughing at her sleepy husband?

Where are the pictures of the alleged phone that he smashed to pieces and thats how he really cut his finger off. (Why is it that the man who took pictures of the scene said he never saw a broken phone and Ambers only defense for why no picture showed it at all was because it was always slightly out of the frame.)

Where are any of the medical reports for any of these events? (Oh right, she's never been to the hospital for any of them, in four years. Johnny's been to the hospital. Why hasn't she?)

Who is the therapist she's seen at any point in the last ten years? (Oh wait, that would have involved her paying money. Nevermind.)

Why did she use a children's hospital and the ACLU to make her seem as sympathetic as possible and then never give them the $7 million divorce settlement in the 18 MONTHS before Johnny ever sued her and she would need legal fees paid? Why does she keep insisting that she did donate it because "in her personal definition", promising to pay money and actually paying money are synonymous.

Why do we believe Johnny?

Who could possibly believe Amber?!?!?!!

Are you only believing her because of political affiliation and obligation?

And this case is defamation of character. That's an excellent point. Do you know what that means? It means Amber's defense is that she NEVER wanted anyone to know that Johnny abused her and every publication and photo published about it was made by her lawyers, friends and PR agent without her consent or knowledge.

That she has never in 10 years taken him to criminal and civil court because she's just so good of a person that she never wanted him to be punished for raping, cutting with glass, punching her in the face more times than she could count, or trying to push her sister down a flight of stairs.

(That the only court where she wanted a judge to think he abused her was divorce court so she could take as much money as possible, which is why she filed for a restraining order right before filing for divorce and dropped it the moment proceedings were over.)

So maybe you are so feminist that you must believe a woman over a man. Do you believe a woman over the ACLU and the LA Children's Hospital? Do you believe a woman over her own medical expert witness who admits that Johnny Depp suffered from mental and physical trauma, too? Do you believe a woman over a female doctor who tested Amber for PTSD and during the beginning of the test Amber claimed she has 19 out of 22 symptoms of PTSD (when soldiers and domestic abuse survivors usually only claim 3-5) and by the end of the testing, the doctor concluded she was exaggerating her symptoms?

Do you believe women when you ARE a writer (me, I'm the writer) and when you listen to how Amber talks under what she thinks passes for emotionally distressed and recounting experiences of PTSD, that Amber has made a giant miscalculation: she's TOO good of an actor. And by that, I mean she is using DIALOGUE and not real human speech. Dialogue is meant to be clean, clear, expositional, and emotionally engaging. And Amber made the mistake of rehearsing stories that sound like they come from a screenplay rather than the dirty, messy, INarticulate way people actually talk under stress, which is why the psychiatrist with 15 years of experience knew she was lying.

(There is a reason why newspapers and other publications write at a 7th grade reading level; even college educated people don't actually want to process information at above 9th grade at the most. I know because I used to write fundraising letters for suburban communities and business writing for inner company publications, too. The ONLY place where smart people talk in complex language in casual settings is in TV and movies so the audience knows who the smart characters are.)

Do you believe women even when they cry tearless whimpers while making eye contact with each jury member (when you are trained in theater and public speaking, you are instructed NOT to look aimlessly in the crowd, but to make eye contact with a different person every 5-10 seconds so that you feel that one-on-one connection that naturally makes how you talk more intimate and less speechy) and yet, when the female judge and female cross examination lawyer says something Amber doesn't like, she turns to them and glares, then, when questions begin again, she turns back to the jury and wobbles her lower lip ever so slightly while she recounts that she loved Johnny so much and just can't imagine how things ever got so bad. 🥀

Yo i dont wanna start discourse, i dont want any beef, I'm not about that life, but are you really supporting amber heard cos shes a woman and bi? Really? I mean, even leaving out the finger thing, shes proven herself a narcissistic ass and has admitted to abusing Depp. There's overwhelming evidence against her but he's somehow still at fault? Im sorry but like, how does that make sense?

of course im supporting her because she’s a woman. that’s literally feminism 101. always believe the victim. why are we going back on this again??? i dont care if she’s maleficent incarnated she’s a woman that denounced her ex husband of having abusing her and i believe her 

there isnt an amount of “proof” that you can show me that would make me believe a woman faked being in an abusing relationship. specially on hollywood were women lose their entire careers for speaking up about abuse. 

there’s a shit ton on misinformation going around about what depp presented on court. isn not an abuse claim. there’s not a legal document saying amber heard admitted to abusing depp or having lied about being abused. that’s just something that people are repeating without checking the sources. 

depp’s lawsuit is a defamation lawsuit. he’s literally suing her for accusing him of being a wife beater. he’s literally calling her a crazy bitch that wants to destroy his career and boost hers with a sexual abuse claim. why are we believing him??? why??? 

oh and in case anyone forgot what amber’s face looked like while filing for abuse:
