academic weapon challenge – day 2

what i thought was my "seasonal allergies" turned out to be full-scale pneumonia... which gives me a LOT of time to rest at home! i'm still going to be doing this month's challenge, but it might look a little different than it normally would.

sleep: 8 hours, i'm debating getting an apple watch to pair with my phone so i can better track my sleep since there aren't any apps out there that are able to do it accurately. $190 isn't real easy to come by, but it's something to consider!

routine: i was thrown off quite a bit this morning with my urgent care visit, but i did manage to drink tea, have something light to eat, and take my vitamins. i also took some over-the-counter decongestant to help, and i'm on an antibiotic now :,)

deep focus: watched an art history lesson, because my pneumonia brain cannot handle any more latin structure *sob*

body: the best thing i can do for my body right now is to keep it fed and watered. and rested!! no strenuous activity for me today :(

reading: i finished "this is where it ends" and i will have a review coming soon!!

reflection: today has been a really good reminder to take breaks and recognize burnout. if you don't take time to rest, your body will pick a time for you, and it will almost always be the most inconvenient time.

take care of yourselves !! <3

You're the best thing that ever happened to me

You showed me what true love shouldn't be

I found myself the second I gave up on us

JOMP BPC - April 19th - Ended Badly

my favourite form of storytelling are stories where you know it’s going to end in tragedy but the journey to how things play out is what makes the story worth telling 💙

Hawkeye: Kate Bishop  |  November 2021

Marieke Nijkamp (W), Enid Balám (A), Jahnoy Lindsay (CA)

Hawkeye: Kate Bishop picks up with Kate ready to leave her crime-fighting life in Los Angeles. “She’s racked up quite a bit of experience running a very successful and definitely-very-legal-and-licensed private eye business,” Nijkamp shares, adding, “She’s revamped the West Coast Avengers.” Now, Kate, who has been “living her best Hawkeye life,” returns to her hometown of New York when she’s invited to a “weird, murderous fancy resort,” aka Resort Chapiteau, to “solve a mysterious jewel heist.”

Nijkamp promises that you can jump in the series without any Hawkeye — or even Avengers — comic background, saying, “Because Kate’s story is in flux right now, it’s the perfect time to jump on board for the adventure.” They add, “You don’t need to know where she was to enjoy the journey” and that longtime Hawkeye fans would definitely enjoy the series as well.

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

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

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

OMFG THIS IS WHAT WE DESERVED LITERALLY.

HOW UA SHOULD HAVE ENDED

Hard cut to Klaus talking to the girl on the bicycle

Klaus: “Did we save the world or screw it up again?”

Bicycle God: “You were never the problem”

She holds up an action figure of Reginald and crushes it in her bare hands. Marigold lights emerge from it. Golden light envelops everything

Hard cut to Klaus waking up in bed. He is wearing pajamas covered in marigolds.Street noise can be heard from outside.

(From offscreen) “You okay, Hon?”

Klaus looks over and Dave is cooking breakfast in their flat

Klaus: “Yeah, just had a weird dream.”

Looks out the window and sees an empty lot where the Hargreeves mansion should be.

Klaus: “Wasn’t there a building there?”

(Naïve Melody by the Talking Heads begins to play over a montage)

Diego and Lila Are wrangling their kids into the camper van. One of the kids gives Lila a picture of her family in a field of bunch of orange flowers (marigolds)

Luther is stripping and the obsessed lady in the crowd is Sloan. He has a marigold in his mouth. He takes it out and gives it to her.

Viktor is playing the violin with Harlon. Sissy is setting the table. She sets a bouquet of marigold into a center vase.

Allison is gardening while Clare and Ray play in the yard. She is planting Marigolds.

Five is teaching at some university. An older woman comes in. “Dolores” he says as she kisses him.

Jennifer serves Ben at the dinner. Closeup on her pouring coffee. He has a Durango flower tattoo that says “Jennifer” and she had a marigold tattoo that says “Ben”

Cut back to Klaus staring out the Window

Dave: No, been an empty lot as long as I can remember

Klaus, smiles: Yeah, I don’t know why I thought that

Camera Zooms out from the window as music continues

Reginald, voiceover: And that is how our unlikely heroes manage to create one timeline where everything was fine.

Apparently, today was just a sad story day, because my second read was: This Is Where It Ends.

And I thought I'd just take a moment to reiterate what I left as an edit to my review from years ago.

I wish this book was fiction. Was some dystopian world like the others I live in. I wish I hadn't spent the latter half of this last week hearing about an identical story-- but this time from the news. In my world.

I wish I didn't remember pushing myself into corners during lockdown drills. I wish the thought of having my first class tomorrow in a room of almost all windows didn't even cross my mind as a bad thing.

Something has to give. Has to change.

Because this book should be relevant and heartbreaking and terrifying in ways that other works of fiction are. In that you can close them.

In that you can leave.

But you can't.
