#to turn the stove off

You know in the vein of tumblr giving you an accent and tumblr style humor KILLING irl

About like....6 or 7 years ago I was having dinner with my family at Texas roadhouse on Christmas eve and my mom was talking about the last time we went to branson when I was 7 and there was a Santa convention happening that we had NOT been aware of before going to branson that year

But she couldn't remember if id been born yet when it happened

So she turned to me and asked if I was alive for that

And I very casually responded with "no. I was dead."

Which caused both my grandparents to crack up laughing

Day 7: Overbearing

Huck is our resident overly anxious tiny. Luckily it has some pay off when he’s helping Henry get out the door for work 😅

yan chrollo justifying his thievery by saying ‘your surplus labor has been stolen every time you’ve worked,’ and asking if what he does is any worse than that 😭

well the t key on my ancient macbook has called in dead so place your bets now on whether i will do something about it before i become so fully naturalized to copy-pasting t into words as i type that i go “it’s fine actually i like living this way”

Mom, again yesterday: I just think your fire extinguisher [in the kitchen] takes up too much space

Mom, tonight: sets off the fire alarm with an actual stove fire for the sixth time this year

sorry for speaking my truth it will happen again. i think my main issue with valax’s redemption arc is literally just that there’s never a moment where the mc gets to actually talk to her about what she did—there’s not really a cathartic conversation, so valax and mc moving past what she did to them feels less like forgiveness and redemption and more like an agreement to ignore the elephant in the room

like sure we got to talk about our trauma (in chapter 17 of 20. lol. lmao, even) to the party, but valax wasn’t present for that?? and like, sure, she says once that she is sorry “for the pain she caused [them]”, but there’s a difference Tew Me between “sorry for hurting you ig ✌️😗” and actually being like “yeah, i abducted you and forced you into a magically induced coma and stole your blood and robbed you of a full year of your life and repeatedly tried to murder you, to say nothing of the grief i caused your loved ones. i did all that shit and i’m sorry for it and deeply regret it, and i acknowledge that you don’t owe me forgiveness, but i will spend the rest of my life working to build a better world for my people instead of being my mother’s pawn”, and a difference between “my mother is unhappy with me for saving you :(” and actually like, giving the mc space to talk about the impact of her actions towards them. like girl you are not getting out of this shit with one sentence’s worth of apology and a sex scene lmfao!!!

during the first half or so of the book the focus for mc is not falling the fuck apart bc they have a friend group to tentatively piece together and they’re averse to showing fear in front of valax, so they’re repressing all their trauma—and by the time valax joins the party, the narrative has gone full Valax Cool And Good mode, and fully allows you to flirt with her and tease her and generally stops taking her seriously as an antagonist. which would be all fine and good if we had actually at any point gotten to be like, “hey, you abducting me and keeping me in a magically induced coma and stealing my blood and trying to kill me has actually caused me a lot of lasting fear and pain,” followed by some set of choices wrt forgiving or not forgiving her for all that in light of the revelation that she did all that shit bc her mom tortured and brainwashed her

like why are my friends more pissed off about the time this bitch abducted me and did evil little experiments on me than i am. free valax she did all that shit bc of her mommy issues but i should’ve gotten to call her a cunt just once. pb stop making all your mcs generals in the idgaf war challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

One of the funniest effects of watching Soul Eater as someone with OCD is that sometimes Death the Kid will do something that is obviously supposed to be over the top and I will put my head in my hands because I have done, if not the same thing, then something similarly ridiculous

Having one of those days where I’m running on auto pilot for some things but that stresses home out bc then I can’t remember if I did necessary things. Like in my old apartment that would be double checking that the kettle is off and the door is locked. Today it’s doubting if I put the parking brake on. Which I’m 99.9% sure I did. But I don’t have time to go check bc I’m at work. And I really really probably did. And it’s a flat parking lot so even if I didn’t it probably wouldn’t be a disaster. And the car would have lurched. I very much probably did. But I wasn’t paying attention to form a memory of pushing the lever so now it’s gonna be on my mind all day.
