Survey #394
“just want one thing / just to play the king / but the castle’s crumbled and you’re left with just a name / where’s your crown, king nothing?”
Do you have your ears pierced more than once? Yeah; I have two in my earlobes and my right tragus pierced. I used to have a cartilage and anti-tragus piercing, but they closed when I had to take them out at the hospital. -_- Do you use an electric toothbrush? Yep. Have you ever seen a queen bee outside its hive? I don't believe so? Have you ever used Duolingo? No. Do you think the number 13 is unlucky? No. Which Clue (or Cluedo) character is your favourite? I always played Scarlet because I thought she was pretty. Do you have any novelty ice cube trays? No. Have you ever had a bad experience meeting a bf’s/gf’s parents? No. Do you get sick of eating turkey during the holidays? I don't eat turkey because I don't like it. I have honey spiral ham instead. Have you ever danced on a table? No. Did you have a lot of fun as a little kid? Yeah. Is there someone you can talk to all day, never running out of stuff to say? Some days. Ham or turkey? Ham. Would you rather eat nothing but fruits or nothing but cheese sandwiches? Fruit. What’s the last song you sung along to? I think Shinedown's "Get Up" while I was in the car. You get to be in any tv series or movie. (old/new) What are you choosing? Let's seeee... maybe Wonderland! Do you meditate? No; it actually stresses me out because I can't completely clear my head. What’s your go-to song when you’re angry? "Headache" by Motionless In White is a good one. What do you think about the most? My weight, honestly. It's at least an itching thought in my head at ALL times. Just being able to feel that I'm overweight and simply glimpsing a fatty part of my body is so, so upsetting. I usually look in the mirror to see if my face is slimmer whenever I pass one, or I'll grasp a part of my body to just feel if I've lost weight there. I could really go on and on about this, but I'd rather not, given it's depressing me talking about it. Have you ever visited any celebrity gravesites? No. How do you feel about archaeology? It's extremely fascinating to me. Any animals whose behaviors you find particularly interesting? ALL animals! Meerkats, however, quite obviously top my list. I love love love social animals, and their behaviors and deep connections remind me of just how human animals really can be, but honestly better half the time. What are your thoughts on gun control? There MUST be reform. I don't think entirely taking away the right to bear arms is the answer, but there needs, needs, NEEDS to be some serious tidying up regarding it. I believe it should be much more difficult to legally obtain a firearm with very extensive background checks and things of the like. I firmly do believe it would help SOME to prevent gun violence. Nothing is ever going to completely stop it unless firearms just cease to exist, but anything that helps reduce it is worth it. Would you have a big cat (like a tiger) for a pet if you could? Absolutely not. Big cats are extremely dangerous with strong hunting instincts, and besides putting my life at risk, I am not forcing a large animal into a small space. Do you like animals better than most humans? Sure as hell do. What simple things in life bring you the most joy? Hearing birds chirping in the morning, crickets and toads at night, starting my soda for the day (rip), watching snow fall, feeling a cool breeze on a nice day with the windows open, my pets wanting to cuddle... just to name a few. I massively appreciate the small things, so I could make this a very long list. What are your favorite smells? Cinnamon rolls, coffee, fresh baked bread, lilac, honeysuckles, etc. Ever found anything cool at a thrift store? What was it? Yeah! I've found some dragon figurines I use for decor, but the absolute coolest has to be this shipwreck lamp that I bought. I love flea markets. How do you find new music to listen to when you want it? YouTube recommendations, usually. Do you like all those dystopian future books/movies? They're all right. If you collect anything, what is your favorite piece of that collection? I collect two types of things: meerkat-oriented and Silent Hill stuff. My favorite part of my meerkat collection is Rebel, my super cute plushy that Jason got me. I slept with it for years and even now that we're done, I still hold the little guy very dear to me. My favorite SH piece I have is a limited edition, Japanese flyer for Silent Hill: Revelation that I won in a giveaway. How did you meet your significant other (if you have one)? N/A How did you meet your best friend? Via YouTube. Your favorite place to be aside from your home? Sara's house. Do you have any favorite books you’d like to have signed by the author? It'd be dooooope if I could have Tim Clutton-Brock sign my copy of Flower's biography. Do you like any board games or card games? I mean yeah. Not a lot, but some. What is your least favorite beverage? Of the things I've tried, probably black coffee. Do you like Breaking Benjamin? I do! What kind of music do you like? Metal, rock, alternative, and indie. Do you like guys with long hair? Yes. Have you ever seen an elephant? Yes. How many people of the opposite sex have you told you loved them? One, if you mean romantically. Do you and your mom get along? Yeah, we're really close. Have you ever had to change your phone number? Twice that I recall. I got a creepy text once, and another with threats. Ever been bitten by a spider? Not to my knowledge. When you were little did you jump in puddles? Oh, absolutely. Bugs: Cool or gross. Even though I'm scared of some of them, they're certainly still cool. Well, most. Do you wear a toe ring? No, I don't find those attractive at all. Have you ever had to babysit before? Twice, even though I didn't want to. Do you actually eat your fortune cookie, if you get one? Yeah, I like 'em. What's your favorite thing about cats? I enjoy how calm and independent they are. Salt, or pepper? I like both, but I prefer to have salt. Think of an ex. What's his favorite color? Jason's were green and purple. Which is better, the taste, or smell of coffee? I only like the smell. What item appears the most in your room? Meerkat stuff. Liquid eyeliner, is good, or totally sucks? My hands are WAY too shaky for that. Has a stray dog ever tried to bite you? No. Do you currently have any bug bites? No. Do you multitask well? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Do you know what an "AMV" is? Yes, because I used to make them and am considering getting back into it. What’s one award show you have to watch every year? None. Who do you like more: the Batman or the Joker? The Joker. Have you ever had a pet rock? I don't recall, actually? I might have as a little kid. Haha, there was one April Fool's Day that Mark sold rocks with his mustached "M" on them, and I SO wanted one. He gave all the earnings to a charity that I can't remember, so that also really made me wanna get one, but yeah, I was NOT asking Mom for even a small amount of money for a rock, haha. She woulda been so fucking confused. Do you know anyone with a lazy eye? Knew, rather. Did your parents let you have pets when you were a kid? Yes. What band was on the last band t-shirt you wore? Ummmm... I'm not sure. Maybe Korn? What’s the last movie you watched at a friend’s house? Elf, I believe? Do you have any tattoos on your arms? Yep. Do you own a teapot? No. Did you have a GI Joe when you were a kid? No. What is the origin of your last name? Irish. Do you ever use the "n"-word? NO. What piercing do you like most on the opposite sex? It would depend on the person, but probably some sort of lip ring(s). What is your salad dressing of choice? Ranch, or the kind from Olive Garden. Have you ever written anything longer than 10 pages? Yes. I wrote a massive essay on toxic masculinity during my last college attempt. I got WAY more into it than I thought I would.

omg em ❤️ if you can you could write about pynch snowed in + lynch brothers
anonymous asked: prompt: adam and ronan snowed in at Christmas and using the time to bake and watch bad Christmas movies and be soft and make out, please?
anonymous asked: pynch baking cookies, but Ronan is allergic to cinnamon and Adam doesn’t know that and Ronan doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want to ruin the moment
(i’ve merged all these prompts together into something that’s kind of what you all wanted, i hope it’s okay! also this is also on ao3 here)
-
When Adam was finally home for the holidays, he and Ronan still had three full days alone before Declan and Matthew were due to arrive on Christmas Eve.
Adam planned on making full use of them.
Day one involved doing very little. They had a lazy morning, trying — albeit not very hard — and failing to get out of bed several times, alternating between coaxing the other back into the warmth whenever one of them got even close to getting up. Tired, unhurried kisses were shared under the covers, hands wandering slowly, fingers grazing bare skin, muffled laughter into necks. Quiet, nonsensical conversations that tapered out until one and then the other drifted back to sleep, before rousing again some time later, limbs entangled in the little cocoon they had created.
Eventually, hunger motivated them to move downstairs, where they cooked up a mountain of breakfast food in the kitchen before heading to the living room to make a blanket fort and watch Christmas movies for the rest of the day.
They’d made it through Elf, Gremlins, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and — because Ronan inexplicably loved it — The Holiday, before they stopped to make another mountain of food, for dinner this time. Once they’d eaten their fill, dishes were thrown into the sink to soak (probably overnight as it was highly unlikely they’d get to them before heading to bed), and then, arms slung around each other, they retreated back to their living room blanket fort for more movies.
Adam couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a day like this. A nothing day. Even the blissful summer with Ronan had been interspersed with work, and they’d spent most of their free time outside anyway. Today, Adam had barely even looked out of the window, too busy soaking up time missed, time with Ronan, time he wasn’t going to take for granted.
They were so full they could hardly move, but they still lay sprawled over each other in their blanket fort, made even softer by all the cushions Ronan had scattered. They watched both Home Alone movies back to back, Adam drowsily and unnecessarily pointing out all the ways in which Harry and Marv should be dead, if not incapacitated at the very least. When Marv got hit in the head by the fourth brick in Home Alone 2, he threw his hands up in exasperation.
“This is ridiculous. Just one of those from that height would kill him, and I’m supposed to believe he can take four and just walk it off?”
Ronan laughed fondly; Adam felt it rumble through where his head was rested on Ronan’s chest. “See, Parrish, this is what’s called a ‘movie’, and in movies, we’re supposed to suspend our disbelief.”
Adam rolled his eyes, lifted his head, and shoved a cushion in Ronan’s face, all in one smooth movement. “I know what a movie is you patronising ass. I’m just saying. They’re asking me to suspend an awful lot of disbelief, that’s all.”
“Okay, college boy,” Ronan said with a sage nod, before Adam shut him up with a kiss.
Between make-outs and more movie complaints, they ended up falling asleep down there before Adam rolled over and onto the hard floor and woke himself up. He dragged a disgruntled Ronan up to bed with him where they fell asleep again almost instantly, clutched close together, sharing warmth.
The next day was a shopping day, as tempting as a repeat of the day before was. Ronan had already got the essentials before Adam had got there, but they needed a few extra flourishes, snacks and drinks.
When they got back to the Barns and unloaded the car, Ronan stopped before reaching the porch steps. He tilted his head back and took a deep breath, eyes closed.
“It’s going to snow,” he said.
Adam looked up at the sky. It was undoubtedly cold and grey, but there had been no snow forecast. He remained dubious.
“You think?”
“I do.”
“Why?”
Ronan grinned. “Because I really, really want it to snow.”
It didn’t snow, not for the rest of the day, nor was there any sign of snow when they awoke the next morning. Ronan’s good mood was unaffected, however, and as he set about farmyard chores, Adam took over the kitchen to make gingerbread cookies.
He’d found a recipe that seemed simple enough online, and there were Christmas themed cookie cutters in one of the drawers, so he was all set. The dough didn’t take long to bring together and while it was chilling in the fridge, he went outside to help Ronan.
Ronan was almost done so Adam just waited for him to finish tidying up one of the barns and then they leisurely walked back towards the house. Halfway back, Ronan complained that he was tired and couldn’t possibly go on, so Adam gave him a piggyback, which involved a lot of swaying and almost overbalancing as Ronan was pretty heavy.
When they reached the porch, Adam dropped Ronan unceremoniously and went to lean against the railing, looking out at the grounds. There was a crispness in the air, and Ronan’s cheeks and nose were pink from being out in the cold for a while. Adam could see his breath mist in the air as he took in the view. It struck him that he’d never seen the Barns in snow, but that he’d very much like to.
Strong, sturdy arms enveloped him from behind, and he felt Ronan perch his chin on Adam’s shoulder. He twisted a little, enough so that he could reach to kiss Ronan’s cold cheek.
“What’re you thinking about?” Ronan asked.
Adam smiled. “I’m just wishing for snow.”
“It’s coming, Parrish. Trust me.”
Adam pressed back, snug in Ronan’s arms. “I do.”
Back inside, Ronan went to shower to warm up, and when he didn’t reappear, Adam found him napping, half-dressed on top of the bed. Adam threw a soft blanket over him, pressed a kiss to his temple, and left him to it.
Reasoning that his cookie dough had chilled long enough now, Adam set about rolling, cutting, and baking. There was enough dough to fill two baking trays full of cookies of various shapes; Christmas trees, snowmen, reindeer, and stars.
When they were out of the oven and cooling, Adam made some icing to decorate. There were only two food colourings to be found in the pantry, but luckily they were red and green, which seemed appropriately festive.
Using those two colours, plus a plain white, he set about decorating. They weren’t the neatest, but they were bright and cheerful, and clearly very homemade, which was exactly what he had been going for. He was just finishing icing his last one, a nice red star, when Ronan walked into the kitchen, pulling on a hoodie.
He yawned and smiled at Adam, adorably sleep-rumpled. Then he clocked the iced cookies on a plate.
“Oh, jackpot.” He grabbed a Christmas tree one and took a giant bite before Adam could stop him.
“Hey, I’ve only just finished them, the icing won’t even be fully set yet,” he said.
Ronan grinned, unapologetic, then took another bite. “S’good, Parrish,” he said with his mouth full.
“Good. Save the rest for tomorrow when your brothers get here.”
“Yes, boss,” Ronan said. He’d slowed down chewing his second bite, and he gave the cookie a closer look. Then he put it down, unfinished, and got himself a glass of water.
Adam frowned. “What is it?”
“Nothing, nothing,” Ronan said airily, then cleared his throat a couple of times. “Just…they don’t have cinnamon in them, by any chance, do they?”
“Of course they do, it’s gingerbread. Why?”
“No reason. I’m just like, mildly allergic to cinnamon. It’s no big deal.”
“Did you just say you’re allergic?”
“I said ‘mildly’.”
“Fuck, Ronan! Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Ronan was rooting through the cupboards until he finally found a little packet of tablets. “Nah, it’s fine, I’ll just take an antihistamine.”
He swallowed a tablet with water, and Adam watched him warily. “Your throat’s not gonna close up then?”
Ronan shook his head with a smile. “No. I told you, it’s a mild allergy. It just makes my throat itch and maybe irritates my eyes a little or makes me sneeze. But I only took two bites of one cookie so it’s fine, it’s not like I ate a whole fucking spoonful.”
Adam crossed his arms. “Why didn’t you ask if there was any cinnamon in them before you took an enormous bite? And for that matter, why, when I said I was making gingerbread cookies, did you not say not to put any in because you’re allergic?”
Ronan cocked his head to the side, crooked smile on his face that would have a different effect on Adam if he weren’t already annoyed. “Do I look like I know what goes in gingerbread cookies?”
Adam sighed. “Ronan it’s a pretty standard festive spice, it’s in almost everything this time of the year. And anyway, why didn’t you tell me you had an allergy? Is there anything else?”
Ronan shrugged. “No? Don’t think so. And I didn’t tell you because I didn’t even think about it. It’s not a Gansey allergy, it’s not gonna kill me.”
“It better not, because if it does, I’ll kill you.”
“Fair.”
Adam finished the cookie Ronan had half eaten, pleased that it did actually taste nice. He’d have to make some normal sugar cookies now as well, that Ronan could eat.
“You wanna help me make some more cookies?” he asked. “I promise I won’t poison you this time.”
Ronan mulled this over, finishing his water as he did. “Do I get to decorate?”
“Yes.”
“Then yes.”
Baking, Adam discovered, was more fun when Ronan was there. It was messier, and it took longer thanks to impromptu powdered sugar fights followed by make-out truces, but infinitely more fun.
He went to bed that night feeling full and festive and excited for the next few days.
The next day was Christmas Eve, and Declan and Matthew arrived at around midday. An hour later, it started to snow.
Ronan ran outside, whooping delightedly. “What did I tell you, Parrish? What did I fucking say?”
Declan looked up at the sky with a frown. “I hope it doesn’t stick. I need to be back in DC on the 27th.”
Adam looked across to where Ronan and Matthew were chasing each other around, slipping where the snow was starting to stick. The flakes were thick and fluffy and falling fast with no end in sight. He shrugged. “That’s three days away, I’m sure however much sticks will be gone by then. And you’ve got nowhere better to be now, right?”
Declan was watching his brothers too, and he half smiled. “No, I guess not.” He turned to Adam. “By the way, were those gingerbread cookies in the kitchen? Because Ronan can’t have one, he’s allergic to cinnamon.”
“God, yeah, I know that now, he took two giant bites of one before he realised what was in it. It wasn’t actually my intention to poison him for Christmas.”
Ronan and Matthew had circled back around, and were in earshot again so Ronan caught what they were talking about. He hopped up to the railing of the porch where Adam stood and kissed him on the cheek.
“For the last fucking time, I’m mildly allergic.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Adam said fondly, catching his hand in Ronan’s collar to pull him close and kiss him properly.
Back inside, Declan made hot drinks and Ronan made a fire, and they all settled down in the living room to watch more Christmas movies
“Can we watch Home Alone next?” asked Matthew after they’d finished The Muppets Christmas Carol.
“No, because otherwise Parrish will literally never shut up about medical inaccuracies.”
But they did watch it again, because it was Matthew’s favourite, and Adam napped through it anyway, cozy under a blanket with Ronan’s arm around him.
Declan disappeared for a while to make them all dinner, and after they’d eaten they played a few old board games that Ronan had found buried in a cupboard somewhere.
It grew late, and everyone started yawning, and eventually they all trickled off the bed.
And all the while, the snow continued to fall.
On Christmas Day, they woke up to picture-perfect views outside, pristine snow that had been undisturbed. They spent the morning eating Adam’s homemade cookies, drinking coffee, and opening presents under the tree.
Ronan had got Santa hats for everyone that he insisted they all wear; Adam’s was green, Matthew’s was red, Ronan’s was black, and Declan’s was blue. There was music and laughter, and wrapping paper crushed into balls and thrown around for Chainsaw to chase. There was thank you’s and hugs and headlocks. Given that there were only four of them, cooking dinner wasn’t particularly an ordeal, and they all helped, and they all cleared up afterwards before finally piling outside to make their mark on the snow.
It had been stopping and starting again all day, and was already very deep. They didn’t venture far, sticking close to the house as they built snowmen and had snowball fights. Adam ducked as Ronan threw one at him, and it instead hit the shed behind him. A whole chunk of snow from the roof of the shed dislodged with the impact, fell forward and cascaded down over Adam, getting freezing snow down his coat and soaking his hat.
He dusted himself off and glared at Ronan, shivering. “You’ll pay for that.”
Ronan laughed, but it faltered a little when Adam started rolling up a giant snowball. “It was an accident, babe, I’m sorry — Parrish, truce!”
When all four of them were soaked through with chattering teeth and it was starting to get dark out, they traipsed back inside for warming baths or showers, and by the time they were all, the snow was falling heavily again. Declan made them all leftover turkey sandwiches, and then it was another night in the warm living room with movies and games and stories, and laughing so hard it made their stomachs hurt.
It was a family Christmas, the way Adam had always imagined family Christmases to be.
It snowed all through the night, and Boxing Day greeted them with snow that was well over Matthew’s knees when he went out to investigate. The cars in the driveway were well and truly covered, and Declan spent a large part of the morning trying to dig them out, and also clear some of the driveway, before they heard on the radio that the road beyond the Barns was currently impassable, so there didn’t seem much point.
Matthew and Ronan were very keen to go sledging down one of the hills that backed onto the property, but it was incredibly difficult to try and wade through the deep snow, and when one of Matthew’s wellington boots got caught on something resulting in him accidentally stepping out of it, they decided to give up and try again when some of the snow had thawed.
They went back to the house, cold and wet with freezing, soaked jeans stuck to their legs.
“Whose bright idea was that?” Ronan said as they all stood in front of the fire, getting some warmth back into their bones.
“Pretty sure it was yours,” Adam supplied helpfully.
“What? Nah, all my ideas are fucking great. This has Matthew written all over it.”
“That’s fair,” said Matthew sagely. He looked up at Declan. “Do we still have to go tomorrow? I don’t want to leave before we get a chance to go sledging.”
Declan ruffled his brother’s curls amiably. “Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure you’ll get your chance. Looks like we’re stuck for at least another couple of days.”
Ronan looked up sharply before schooling his expression. Adam thought he was trying not to look too invested in this development. “What about work?” he asked carefully.
Declan shrugged. “I already emailed them. Not much I can do about the weather, is there?”
Ronan nodded, then looked back to the fire, a tiny smile on his face. “Guess not.”
“There’s not something you can do about the weather, is there? Magic up a heating fan for me?”
Ronan snorted. “A heating fan big enough to melt enough of the snow to get you to the interstate? I mean, I could try, but I’m not gonna.” He elbowed Declan playfully. “Think you should stick around here and have fun instead. It’ll do you some good.”
“Yeah, Declan,” Matthew said.
“Yeah, Declan,” Adam added.
He rolled his eyes. “Alright, point made. Now,” he clapped his hands together, “who’s up for a game of Monopoly?”
“Oh finally, Fun Declan has entered the building,” Ronan said, and Matthew burst out laughing.
“What? It’s the Pokémon edition, it is fun.”
“Really?” Ronan said, suddenly serious. “Fuck yeah, let’s play Pokémon Monopoly.”
After two games, of which Adam won both, he and Ronan wrapped up warm and went outside again.
It took them the better part of the afternoon, but they managed to build a pretty stable little igloo, just big enough for two. They crawled inside, careful not to accidentally take out part of the ceiling, and Ronan pulled a bunch of dream lights out of his pocket and threw them into the air.
They hung there, giving the space a warm glow entirely at odds with how goddamn cold it was. Ronan wasn’t wearing gloves, so Adam covered his hands in his own and rubbed them gently.
“Is this romantic as fuck or what, Parrish.”
“It’s romantic as fuck,” Adam agreed. “You should probably kiss me now, before we get frostbite.”
Not needing any more encouragement, Ronan leaned forward, cold noses on cold cheeks, smiling into kisses, huddled close for warmth.
Adam pulled away with a lazy smile. “Ready to go in?”
Ronan sighed. “I guess.”
“I can kiss you better in the warmth.”
“You’ll have to prove it to me.”
Crunching footsteps outside sounded, approaching fast, before Matthew called out, “Oh, an igloo, cool!”
“Matthew, wait!” Ronan yelled quickly, but Matthew was already trying to crawl through. He wasn’t as careful as Adam and Ronan had been, and, bear of a boy he was, his shoulder barged through one side of the entryway, and then the whole damn thing caved in, collapsing snow soaking them to the skin yet again.
“Oops,” Matthew said. “Sorry! I’ll build a new one.” He stood up and reached a hand out to both Adam and Ronan, helping them up from where they were now half-buried in the snow.
“You fuckin’ better,” Ronan said, then lunged for his younger brother, who leapt away with a delighted laugh. Ronan chased him back towards the house, Adam following at a slower pace as he dusted himself free of as much snow as he could. Cold and soaking wet was a feeling he was becoming entirely too familiar with, but he couldn’t find it in him to mind. Not when fun was the cause, and when warming up again was so nice.
The next day, the sun came out, and the thaw began.
They finally had the chance to go sledging, although making it over to the hill Ronan had in mind was still a bit of an ordeal as the snow was still fairly deep. There were only two sledges, a traditional looking wooden one, and a red plastic one. Ronan had also brought some plastic bags with him, stuffed into his coat pocket, which apparently worked just as well. Adam wouldn’t know; he couldn’t remember if he’d ever been sledging before.
Declan went first on the wooden sledge. He picked up speed so fast that when the ground leveled off he went flying over a small bump in the ground and into a copse of trees, disappearing. A moment later, he emerged looking sheepish, holding the now very broken sledge in his hands.
It took him a couple of minutes to get back up the hill to the rest of them, and Ronan just raised an eyebrow in question.
“I crashed into a tree,” Declan said matter-of-factly.
Ronan laughed. “See, this is why I should always drive.” He clapped Declan on the shoulder. “It’s all good, that sledge was fucking ancient anyway. Who’s next. Matthew? Parrish?”
Matthew held out a hand. “Bag me.”
“You don’t want the red one?”
“Nah. The bags are faster.”
Ronan handed him one, and Matthew arranged it just so, sitting on it so that the handles could act as a steering wheel. Adam was curious to see how well it would work, and to be fair it really was incredibly fast. The only problem seemed to be stopping, but Matthew handled this by rocking over onto his side until he eventually skidded to a halt.
Adam gave Ronan a knowing look. “This is going to end in scabs and bruises, isn’t it?”
Ronan grinned. “All in the name of fun.” He put the red sledge at the top of the hill. “Wanna ride with me?”
“I am not getting on that thing with you.”
“Parrish.” Ronan patted the seat. “Get in there.”
Adam sighed. He got in, as he always did. Ronan immediately hopped on the back and his momentum rocketed them forward and down the hill. Ronan’s arms were around him and holding onto the little rope that passed for steering, and he let out a happy swear as they sped down the hill. Adam laughed, exhilarated by the speed and caught up in Ronan’s infectious enthusiasm.
When they approached the bottom and didn’t seem to be slowing down, Adam yelled, “How do we stop?”
“Good question!” Ronan yelled back, but he managed to turn it enough to slow down the momentum, and soon enough they’d dropped enough speed to bail out without causing any injuries.
Ronan lay sprawled on his back in the snow, still laughing. Adam crawled over from where he’d ended up and hovered over Ronan.
“Happy?” he asked.
Ronan grabbed Adam around the waist, and hugged him close. “Yes, Adam. I’m fucking happy.”
They kissed messily, joyfully, both cold and warm at the same time. Ronan leaned back and smiled. “Have you had a good Christmas?”
“The best,” Adam replied, kissing Ronan again, because he could and he wanted to. Then he abruptly got to his feet and started running. “Last one up the hill does all the washing up!”
“Parrish, wait up, no fair!”

It was surprisingly easy to fall asleep that night even if a stranger was sharing his bed. He made sure he planted himself firmly on the opposite side of the bed. Too bad Marcas didn’t know that Aed rolled about in his dreams, but when the redhead woke in the middle of the night - limbs sprawled and foot pressed firmly against the the other teen’s back - his guest remained sound asleep.
‘“I’m used to sleeping in the waves”’ Marcas would probably say.’
Aed pulled the covers over himself again and squinted at the bright light. He forgot to move his curtains back and the full moon shone over the ocean, but also right into his eyes.
It was quiet.
One last calm night before summer turned to fall. The redhead grunted and rolled away from the window to face the door. It was too comfortable to get up and draw the blind.
As he waited for sleep to return he studied the other’s resting profile. His companion’s long hair gave the image of spilled ink on his ridiculously pale skin. The teen admitted that the other was handsome, but it was strange for someone as fit as Marcas to be so fair. Only hard work outside could result in muscles like those. It shouldn’t have surprised him that Marcas refused to put his pyjamas on after coming back from the shower. It had taken much persistence to convince the teen to at least wear some boxers before they went to bed. The only piece of clothing Marcas seemed comfortable with was his cloak, which he now had tightly in his grip as if it were a safety blanket.
The thought made Aed snicker. He quickly grabbed a pillow and pressed it over his head to muffle the noise. What a strange day today was.
Well he might as well get more rest. The teen leaned into the darkness of the pillow and, after what seemed like hours, finally went back to sleep.
*
The next morning the teen woke to an empty bed. For a split second he considered all of yesterday to be a dream before seeing his clean room and Marcas’ discarded set of clothes. Shivering in the morning air Aed quickly dressed - the usual collared shirt and sweater - and went downstairs.
“After all, Aed doesn’t let just anyone into his room.”
“I really appreciate this. I won’t let you down.”
‘Well that’s that.’ His parents had come to their decision rather quickly. It was embarrassing that his Mam had to mention him, though. He waited another moment before slipping into the dining room and making a beeline for the kitchen.
“There’s some left overs on the stove,” Flann patted the space next to her, “after you heat them up please come here. I have something to discuss with you.”
“I know already. Marcas is staying,” Aed flicked the stove on and waited for the oatmeal to warm, “but are you ok with me not working with Dad?”
“You know we support you no matter what.” The teen ducked his head to hide a blush.
Marcas entered the kitchen and began washing his bowl. He offered Aed a smile and waited for him before they both returned to the living room.
“I have to go to work, now, so please clean up after yourselves. Aed, I’m waiting for a form to go though. You should be starting by Friday.”
Flann leaned over and Aed gave her a one-armed hug.
“Have a good one, Mam.”
“I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better. Remember to put some water on before I come home!”
The room went quiet as Aed started on his oatmeal. It was a bit awkward with Marcas just sitting there, but at least someone was home.
“So what túath are you?”
He paused from his oatmeal and gave the teen a blank stare.
Marcas elaborated upon noticing his confusion, “Ui Fidgente? Ciarraige Luachra? Corca Duibhne?”
Oh. The old tribes.
“Don’t know. Grandparents probably told me, but forgot.”
“Hm.” Marcas seemed to be scrutinizing him.
“What? That was ages ago,” he took a gulp of milk in his defense, “...what’s your tribe?”
“Murtagh. What do humans do then now days?”
“We have regular families and surnames. For example I'm Aed Carrick.”
“So you grew apart?”
“...” He had never thought of it in that way before, “Not really...I mean, annoying as she is, I don't hate Ena. My Grandma and Grandpa come often. And everyone in the village more or less gets along.”
The younger looked perplexed, then shrugged as if he just accepted that things were different.
“I guess I’ll be meeting them soon enough.”
Deciding to cut the chatter Aed cleared his throat.
“About last night...”
To his surprise, Marcas broke eye contact, the teen suddenly finding Aed’s oatmeal very interesting. Aed narrowed his eyes.
“What did you do?” If he stole anything...
“It got really hot. But if you saw, then you saw that I kept my cloak on.”
“Oh uhh” That was not what he expected...must have happened after he fell asleep, “I wasn’t talking about that.”
“Oh.” Marcas ran a hand through his hair, “then...what?”
“My research. If you’re going to help me, you’re going to need to learn how to read... and write since you probably can’t do that either.”
He saw the younger take on a guarded look, but pressed on.
“You’ll need to jot down figures for me and note descriptions of coastlines at the very least.”
After realizing that he wasn’t being made fun of, Marcas’ expression relaxed into a lazy smile.
“Alright. When do we start?”
“Now is better than never,” he crammed the rest of the oatmeal down, his mind buzzing with plans. A big swallow and he gagged. Shit. Wrong pipe.
His glass was pressed to his lips and he took it gratefully. The younger patted his back as he choked his way through the last of his meal, too busy getting air into his lungs than to shrink away from the teen’s touch.
“Thanks…” the redhead finally managed after a few minutes.
“Anything for a friend,” Marcas replied, hand comfortably resting at the base of Aed’s lower back.
Aed quickly pushed back his chair and tidied the kitchen instructing the other to meet him in his room.
The teen was lounging on his bed when he returned.
“It’s so weird, but I can definitely get used to beds.” Marcas bounced a bit, “there were some of them on Blasket, but they were all banged up. ‘Too busy partying anyway to use em, even if they were fixed. I like em though. They’re softer than rocks.”
“What do you mean? Blasket was abandoned a while ago” Aed shuffled through his books trying to find a simple enough one begin with. Creatures of the West Atlantic, 1000 Leagues Under the Sea, Earth Encyclopedia... He didn’t have any children’s books come to think of it.
“Which is why it’s the perfect spot for us. The times when we turn human could be dangerous if actual humans see us.”
Aed threw him a look that the redhead made sure clearly conveyed his exasperation.
It was hard to ignore ridiculous claims if they were shoved into his face at every opportunity. Yesterday, only his mentally exhausted state caused him to consider the teen’s story to be real.
“You really are stubborn,” Aed bristled at Marcas’ amused tone, “I thought you would be more accepting to the otherworld considering you were able to call me.”
The teen gave up on his shelf and considered his options. He could go to the library tomorrow and borrow some kids books (and get strange looks), or he could try and nick one from the school library when he went to check on his experiment he left behind. But if he got caught that would mean more questions...
He heard Ena’s voice from downstairs and smacked his head. Of course. Ena had most of his hand-me-downs.
Aed left the bedroom and opened the door to his parent’s room where his sister slept. He picked a thick alphabet book (the chew marks from raising two children had considerably worn down the pages) and tossed it to Marcas when he returned.
“Come to the desk. You aren’t going to learn if you lie around all day.”
“Alright, Mr. Carrick,” the younger plopped down on the single chair and smoothed out the creases in his jeans. He picked up the book and smirked at the bite marks.
“I didn’t know you guys had a dog.”
“It’s Ena’s,” Aed noted with appreciation that the book was held correctly this time. The kid seemed to be a fast learner.
Having no other option he leant against the corner of his desk and pointed at the first brightly colored letter “So there’s the alphabet, and each letter…”
---
When he woke there was an empty spot next to him. Again. For someone so chatty, Marcas could be quite stealthy when he wanted to.
A bit of cautious hope rose with him as he got out of bed and dressed. Today would be the day they both started their jobs and resumed his research. Although they hadn’t made enough progress yesterday to actually begin reading instructions, Aed had given him a test: report back on the patterns of deep sea currents during the week. Those were easy enough to remember to ask, that making tallies would suffice. Although not exactly what he wanted to look for, he had data to compare to that at least...it still felt foolish that he was going along with the teen, but it was the only way today was going to feel productive.
“Me first!”
Before he could open the bathroom door, a flash of orange ran inside.
Sometimes it’d be nice to be an only child…
While his sister hogged the bathroom he stole a few more books from her room. His Mam was already downstairs. Dressed and ate breakfast by now, too. He understood. After all, she was the one who taught them to always arrive to things 15 minutes beforehand.
*
“Look at you, so handsome on your first day. Your tie is so straight!”
“Yeah-yes. I still remember how to do it from graduation.” Aed muttered as he bent down so Flann could push back his hair. Every last bit of red in its place.
“I know you’ll be fine at any job. Just remember to smile.”
And they were in the open air. The sky was grey, and the sea smelled extremely fishy. Aed couldn’t see anyone out among the waves…
They dropped Ena off at school then walked back through town past the grocer's and the post office, past the three pubs and the bed-and-breakfast to the little white bank on the end of mainstreet. When they entered he recognized a couple of his former classmates chatting in the back, and quickly sought out work. He already started later than them, so he had to play catch up. There was no time to socialize.
After being introduced to the bank manager, Osirin, he was sent to work. Sorting mail was plain enough, but book keeping was especially dull when it wasn’t for research. At least then he could visualize the meaning behind the numbers.
When 5 o’clock came, the teen had to contain himself from sprinting out the doors.
As soon as they stepped inside, Ena charged. Flann chuckled as Aed blocked Ena, the youngest Carrick switching to cling to her Mother instead. His sister stuck out a small hand and waved a bright pink paper at Aed.
“We had free time so I drew!“
He was able to discern that the crude image depicted two people fishing...but the fat grey ovals in the water were too big to be fish.
“It’s Dad, Marcas, and Marcas’ family,” the girl proudly explained.
Aed rolled his eyes.
*
The three had finished their dinner and Aed helped Ena with homework before retreating to his room. All of the books from yesterday’s ‘reading class’ were still stacked on his desk. He gave them a long look before busying himself with changing. Research would need to be done in order to teach efficiently on the days when Marcas returned. Luckily Cárnach was small, so boats came back almost every weekend. The easiest way would be to ask Ena. She was still in primary school, so she’d remember her curriculum.
He peeked into her room. Fast asleep.
Returning to his room he flipped through the books for a few minutes before pacing to the window. The sea was vast. A contradiction of pitch-black water and shimmering light from another clear night...but he still could not see any boats in the distance.
It could have been him out there in the dark sleeping above the fish. His father must have seen something in Marcas to take him abroad within a day of meeting him. But then again, he had spoken up for Marcas and his Dad had always respected his opinion.
He was glad. Glad how quickly his family had accepted the teen. It was almost too easy how Marcas settled in. If he really was a selkie, wouldn’t he want to go back to the sea as quickly as possible? In the stories they always left. But then again in stories they were always beautiful ladies. This was different. Marcas would return.
His gut feeling nagged at him. Did he just miss another opportunity? First uni now-no. Stop that.
The other’s story was unusual, but not enough for him to believe in selkies. And if Marcas wasn't a selkie he would have to return.
But it didn’t make sense for him to make up his story, did it? So far only he and his sister knew the teen’s ‘secret.’
He tried to sleep, but his tumultuous thoughts carried him off as slowly as a feather drowning in the open sea.
---
Come the end of the week the selkie had the biggest smile on his face as he stepped into the home of the Carricks. Neil followed, both chuckling as Ena initiated a tackling hug for each. Aed’s eyebrows shot up as the teen stepped away from ruffling Ena’s hair to next approach him. Before the teen could react Marcas leaned forward and they bumped noses.
“Hey, Aed!”
“W...what are you doing?” The redhead sputtered backing away.
Given the looks on Neil and Flann’s faces, the other flushed red as well, immediately realizing his error.
“Er...where I come from, we do that when we haven’t seen each other in a long time.” The teen offered. Aed saw both his parents questioning looks, so he took another big step back turning to address his father.
“Have a good catch?”
“The best in a while! Marcas here is a natural,” Neil nodded at the shorter teen, “quite a good listener as well.”
“It was good to be back at sea, and I’ve never gone fishing on this scale. Neil’s quite a poet. I never knew!”
“Come, let’s not stand here. You two must be starving. Dinner is ready by now,” Flann gently nudged the group into the dining room.
“What was the biggest fish today?” Ena stretched her arms wider than the plate in front of her, “This big? Did you get any pink ones?”
“No pink ones today,” Neil ruffled her hair, “I’m surprised how many we got considering all the seals being ‘round the boat.”
Marcas laughed lightly.
“It was the selkies!” Ena gasped, “Can I go next time? Please, Mam, Dad?”
“It’s too dangerous.” Neil gently chided.
“But it has been a while since we all had a day out,” Flann mused, “when it’s spring next year we should go. It would be lovely to be on the boat then.”
“That sounds great,” Neil shot Aed an amused look, “the last time we were at sea was when you were just about to start high school.”
Aed remembered that summer well. The one where he tried to wear the same shirt every day to determine which bacteria would grow. Highly experimental, but not directional. He cringed.
“It’ll be a few months, but it’s better to plan ahead,” Flann decided. And they dug in.
*
“I assume you’ll want to resume lessons in the morning?”
“I could do a little now,” the selkie gave a yawn and rolled off their bed to join Aed at the single desk. The teen sat up and straightened the small stack of books, ready to put to practice the lesson plan he had produced.
He had gotten through twenty minutes when he felt a nudge at his arm and of course Marcas had nodded off. A little miffed the teen lightly shook his ‘student’ then prodded the younger off to bed.
“Thanks,” Marcas muttered sleepily as he snuggled under the covers. The younger stared at him, seemingly expecting something, but Aed had no idea.
“What?” he finally said.
“...Strange human,” the selkie let out a snort of laughter and rolled to face away. Aed huffed.
“Rest well, because we’re staying in and studying all day tomorrow.” He slid onto his own side of the bed and waited for sleep to come.

“Hey, _____. Wait. Don’t talk to me. Not till I’ve had my coffee.”
“Me? I’m so lazy. It never fails to amaze me when people actually do things.”
“I mean, I might ask you to read some of my fan fiction. And I don’t just let ANYONE see it!”
“Hey, I hope they invent a way for me to never have to sleep... but FEEL like I slept 43 hours!”
“So, what can I do for you? Or, more accurately, what can you do for me?”
“Woah, _____! Sleep makes you strong... so why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Good evening, _____! Or should I say “good night”? It’s so late!”
“I was tidying up my books the other day, and I found my secret stash... of more books, of course!”
“If you’re out to see the stars, you just found the brightest one.”
“Well, well! Bit of a night owl, are we, _____?”
“How are you always there when I need you, _____? Thanks a million.”
“Why is it that the sun goes down right when I start to wake up?”
“These beach chairs are way more comfortable than my furniture at home. Earlier today I plopped down for a catnap and woke up three hours later! It would have been much more pleasant if I had been wearing sunscreen.”
“Planning to do some post-midnight mischief? Yeah, me neither.”
“The best kinds of friends are the ones who’ll stop and help when they find someone in trouble.”
“It’s that late?! I guess I’ve been so busy, I completely lost track of time! Honestly, I can’t believe that I’m still awa—”
“Hmm? You start a conversation with me but expect me to do all the heavy lifting? Sorry, chief. I’m afraid I’m fresh out of hilarious banter for the day. Try me later on. Pah!”
“The lighthouse is supposed to help travelers lost at sea find their way home. But what it really does is keep me up at night!”
“Got any fun trivia to share?”
“I could go for some tea right now. What do you think, _____? Tea?”
“Today has now become one of my top ten days... ever. And it’s because of you, _____!”
“Wow. You really came through... I didn’t think people like you still existed.”
“Holy hot dogs, you’ve really outdone yourself this time, buddy.”
“The perfect antidote for stress and exhaustion is the natural beauty of the great outdoors!”
“I wonder if there are any undiscovered islands still out there. Wouldn’t that be an amazing thing to come upon?! I’m getting excited just thinking about it!”
“Your help has been invaluable, _____! Without you, I’d be lost...”
“You’re pretty hardy to be out here in nature this late.”
“If you ever have any questions... ask literally anyone but me!”
“When do you even sleep? I guess I’m not one to talk.”
“The only thing that could make me happier right now is a hug from a baby penguin!”
“Maybe I’m a weirdo, but I like collecting bugs.”
“Everyone works too much. It’s important to take a break every once in a while!”
“Some things get old. Like me! But watching the sunrise from a beautiful island ain’t of ‘em.”
“You’re one reliable gal. Put me down as a reference on your job application!”
“I like that skip in your step today.”
“Am I hallucinating, or is this for me?”
“From time to time, I like to sit in a chair like this and ponder all of life’s big questions. Like... what am I going to have for dinner tomorrow night? Or... did I unplug the toaster? Oh, no! DID I unplug the toaster?!”
“Can’t sleep? I recommend doing a thousand squats. Or... you could try fishing. Whatever works for you.”
“_____?! What are you doing up?! It’s past your bedtime!”
“Don’tcha just hate burning your feet on the hot sand at the beach? There oughta be a law against it! Or, I could just try and remember to wear flip-flops. Whatever!”

Bob’s Burgers Turns The Back Gas Burner Back On! The Simpsons continue drinking from the historical comedy well.
Fell behind on my Sunday Night animation coverage, mainly because of wonky network scheduling. I have better working wi-fi now so I can actually watch the episode as they air if they ever air.
////
Ah Sports, the great Schedule Cleaner that has a tendency to push out episodes into another slot on Fox’s Sunday Night. Which is why the Simpsons’ Treehouse ritual won’t be airing until November, and it’s little consistencies like these that help provide some stability and grounding in these shifting, tumultuous 2020 melting calendar dates.
First off, the promise of quality of this third episode of the season 11 is right in the title“Copa-Bob-Bana.” This is also the second episode in a row with an Opening Storefront gag seemingly tailor made to my interests with a Lou Reed Joke and the Drive-By Van gag being a Talking Heads pun. Promising. When a Bob’s Burgers episode works it is one of the comfier offerings on the TV landscape. This episode follows the more successful formula of Bob & Linda (A)-Plot night out from the house and Belcher Children (B)-plot mild mannered, slightly gross mischief.
Throwing Kevin Kline’s Fischoeder into the mix is also a highly potent element in a Bob’s Burgers episode. Pile in, Zach Galifinakis’s Felix Fischoeder along with Bill Hader’s Mickey, while also introducing the most inconsequential Fischoeder yet with a cousin voiced by David Wain that also looks like David Wain. The more characters the merrier as far as Bob’s Burgers is concerned and the show is doing a pretty fine job at fleshing out this world and maintaining working relationships with these big wigs, Bob’s Burgers is always kind to its regulars. Most importantly, the show realizes the importance of the Belchers getting the occasional small victory with Bob earning a full month’s rent. Linda adds on a heart breaking aside about how a month’s rent is more than they ever make in a month that really drives home the working class spirit of this series.
While the grossness and shabbiness of the Belcher children pool party has a tinge of the pathetic about it especially when it’s being filtered and judged through the higher status Chole Barbash (voiced by Brooklyn 99’s Stephanie Beatriz, who knew!), but they still have friends who indulge in their gross, shabbiness instead of making them feel bad about the nice pool that they lack. A surprising amount of pathos and depth from such a silly and simple premise.
I am not convinced that the show has figured out a fully fleshed out compelling dynamic between Felix and Calvin other than that Felix is pathetic man child and Calvin is the son that mommy loved more. There are only so many more times that this can play out without it becoming completely stale, but Galifinaki’s skillful comedic acting chops prevent Felix from being straight up insufferable. Having Bob and Linda leave at the big climatic brotherly fight at the end of the episode is satisfying and not too tidy. Bob and Linda have boundaries and know that they have no place or justification to help these feuding rich assholes, whereas a lesser show may have had the Belchers involve themselves more in other people’s problems and play the role of faithful human carpet for their landlord. The episode also subverts the teased big musical number between Linda and Calvin by relegating it to the ending credits, but it’s a really great example of John Robert’s singing performance. Linda is hitting notes with a elegance and charm and bouncing off of Kevin Kline effortlessly and it makes me really sad that we’re not getting that Big Movie Musical anytime soon.
4 rusty bathtubs full of wet bread out of 5.

When I first watched the far more messily titled episode 3 Season 32, “Now Museum, Now You Don’t” I straight up despised it. The second episode in a row that refuses to just be an episode of the Simpsons and instead another episode of historical comedy vignettes. This time based around Lisa being sick at home (with Covid?!) flipping through pages of a coffee table book on the history of Western Art. Oh joy. There’s also, count em and weep, four different musical numbers. Even better.
The Simpsons and the game of classical spot the reference art appreciation is a time honored tradition. That said it is still truly jarring to watch an entire episode based around the show’s art department churning out postcards and merchandise for a Simpsons gift shop. This entire episode is an easy on the eyes visual delight that makes it pretty easy to turn your brain off and appreciate the visual overload.
Quality visuals and art references alone cannot save the episode from itself, because this episode contains a few of the most stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks awful jokes the show has probably ever had that make Family Guy look as sophisticated and subtle as a New Yorker cartoon. Can anyone convince me that Family Guy hasn’t already had a joke involving Little Caesar being stabbed to death by the Noid? I didn’t think so. Another brutal cut-away gag comes in the form in the Marge Simpson styled as Frida Kahlo segment where she does the clunkiest, club footed walk to a cutaway joke involving Bernie Sanders as a baby condoning his “Bernie Bros..I mean Bernie Babies” about their violence and bullying of the other schoolyard children. Really tells you all that you need to know about the rich ivy-league educated white guys that have always botched this kind of political commentary on the Simpsons, a show that is supposed to subversive and against the status quo. This kind of criticism against Bernie Sanders is not only horribly out of date, but are even more depressing given the reality of the current election.
The other really groaner forced attempt at a joke happens when Homer Simpsons’ Diego Rivera hopes to get a writing job on Rick and Morty. A joke that basically murders the episode before a truly visually satisfying over the credits gag of Moe walking through Van Gough paintings singing a song about the Gracie Films “Shushing Lady.” Now I know the show has played around with adding screams and sound effects to this production credit, but I don’t think I have ever witnessed such a meta moment around a production company logo, perhaps ever, and I must give the episode props for that.
The important takeaway is that while plenty of people don’t care about the Simpsons and know that it has long since lost its luster over a decade ago, rewatching this episode really tempered down my vitriol and through the duration of the episode I found myself basically having a good time. The flat out bad moments of the forced jokes and lazy writing are now becoming far more pronounced and jarring as the series death marches on, but the visual language and expressiveness of the series this late in its run warrants a glance from anyone who likens themselves to an animation fan. I would still recommend that people skip the previous episode and try to give this one a chance. The possibility that this show will trigger a brain aneurysm with some of its choices is a very real, nearly unavoidable reality, but there are some larfs scattered in the ruins.
Pass, but just barely, and I swear if the rest of the season continues down this streak of vignette driven episodes I will have to abandon this futile endeavor.

#4-14 for goat 1 !!!
oough here i goooo
4) Give us a summary of their backstory.
(ooughhh im gonna actually go long on this because yeaaah)
they grew up just outside of Arizona in a large desert ranch with his parents and relatives. he loved to roam around the wild wasteland and catch baby geckos and help tend to the bighorners.
when he got older he took up a job with a mail company who was lookin for couriers and he did the job fairly well. he got work done and blended into the business until the one job that changed his day to day life
during his delivery was chased down and shot by benny. the process of the chase he fell off a cliff into the town of goodsprings tearing the right side of his face on the way down. then he was dragged out to the grave sight where he was shot and buried.
he was brought back by the doctor of goodsprings, and with the memory of what had happened he fell into a depressive state and left town. he traveled for a month with no goal until he ended up into the powder gangers campsite. living there as a member of the gang. he died his hair and rehabilitated himself with weapons as his vision and hearing had been ruined on the right side of his face. he was a changed man, very quiet and stoic.
when the NCR attacked the campsite leaving Goat without a home he finally lifted himself out of his self deprecating hole long enough to deiced to hunt down benny and get revenge.
he found benny and had him crucified with the legion (Goat had no connect with the legion let alone knew their deal beyond the fact that they offered a terrible fate for benny)
after this he found himself wandering the waste without a goal once again. the vegas strip asked for his help, he spent time with the kings and tried talking to other factions but found the weight of the responsibilities he had been handed far too much for himself to handle and ran away.
he found himself on big mountain with the think tank and.. made a home there? he found himself to like the life there and wanted not to go back and have to take responsibility for potentially ruining people’s lives.
he constantly thinks about when he left behind and doesnt how their fairing without him and terribly fears that his decision to do nothing hurt more than it did to do anything.
5) What’s their full name and does it have a meaning? Do they have any nicknames and how did they get em?
they had a normal name before getting a job in the courier business before changing it to Goat officially for both privacy and fitting to their job in the wasteland. also its a trans thing lol
he wont tell anyone his original name but if you dig into it you can find papers he signed when joining the mail corp with the name Gindel Hunther. but he claims its just a name he used to sign papers before changing his name
6) What’s their sexual, romantic, and gender orientation? Do they feel comfortable telling other people?
Goat is bi.. ish. they prefer men but like women to sometimes. he is trans and identifies as a man. and their plenty comfortable with their identity and will get in your face if you make a fuss about it.
he is interested in people but also like comes off as angry and intimidating a lot so most people dont either like him or are very nervous around him. so the closest to a relationship he has is flings with people and his stealth suit mk ii who hes close and like to talk to
7) Do they have any mental illnesses? How do they cope?
oh absolutely, big time he has ptsd (along with other things) and usually ends up just tinkering with weapons and electronics to fix them. if that doesnt work then he’ll go outside and take a walk around big mt or just lay down in the dirt
8) Do they have any medical conditions? Is medicine/ treatment available for them?
not really, beyond their mental illness they dont have any physical illness. the most they have is scars and bad hearing in the right side. oh also has spine troubles (at least until they arrive to big mountain and no longer had to worry about his spine lol)
9) How much do they care about their outer appearance? What’s their “beauty routine”? How often do they shower/ bathe?
they used to be pretty into it, they would want to look good as a mailman as he was the face of the deliveries and was very friendly and looked sharp. they keep a very tidy appearance.
then the incident with Benny half his face was left disfigured and he kinda just gave up? he wandered into the waste and joined the powder gangers for a few months before coming out of a depressive state. he made it his quest to get revenge on benny by any means possible. his got covered in scars and blemishes from both gang life and finding benny.
he showers and brushes his hair but as for how his body looks he just doesnt care
10) What do they fear the most?
being a failure. letting people down. he knew the people of the strip wanted his help but he ran away from it all and hides away in big mountain. but he doesnt want to go back, he scared of messing up and ruining new vegas and doesnt know who should be in control.
11) They’re biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?
their biggest flaw is their kinda selfish. they do most things for themselfs. their not out to put others down just to get better in life. but if he is given big responsibilities he cant fix with a fight then he runs away.
12) What are they most insecure about?
their lazy eye and bad hearing, they dont care about the scars or the boobs or the lackof eyebrows. but their off putting eye and the fact that they have a hard time hearing people when they try to ask him stuff or talk to him tends to make people think he doesnt like them or doesn't care enough to listen and is generally just rude. but he’s just havin a hard time and feels self caution about how these things make people perseve things about him.
he still has the part of him who wants to get along with others.
13) What Wasteland threat do they fear the most? (ex. Deathclaws, super mutants, raiders)
he really likes animals so as tough as deathclaws are he respects the creature and stays his distances and watches from afar. but he does have a fear for mantis. he gets the jitters around big the incests all together.
also heights, cliffs and mountains tend to freak him out
14) What’s their zodiac sign or which one do you think they relate to the most? What are their placements (if you know them)? (ex. Aries sun, Taurus moon, Aquarius Venus)
goat’s birthday is January 21st so he’s an aquarius
and i dont know a damn thing about the zodiacs beyond this lol

Dear diary,
I'm still sick, still haven't studied for school but I've finally completed cleaning my room. Which I mentioned in my previous entry (which didn't get uploaded for some reason :))))) And I must say. I'll never, ever eat any fucking thing in my room again. Cuz when you forget that thing and don't throw it away. It's real fucking nasty man. Bleghhhhhh. Ahhh and I slept in the living room today cuz I was cleaning my room until like. 3 a.m. And still didn't finish cleaning it. So I was like "fuck that. Imma go take a shower and sleep in the living room." Cuz I didn't have any power left to change my bedsheets. Then I've woken up at 11. Texted my friends, checked Snapchat, Instagram and Tumblr and fell asleep again. The next time I woke up was at 14:30-something. I watched some YouTube vids like Dan and Phil games, played with my cats, played the cool ass stranger things game (IT'S SO GOOD) and eventually went to clean my room.
It's so satisfying to see it so clean again. Cuz, honestly I'm not such a tidy person. Maybe I should change that and clean my room every day like normal people do it.
I'm kinda excited to visit L.'s house with S. (Btw let's call L. Naomi and S. Samurai cuz the . is too bothersome for me lmao). I bet it's gonna be hella fun. Ohhhh and now that I think about it. Samurai and Naomi are going to dye their hair with permanent hair dye. Samurai's gonna dye 'em black and Naomi pink. Oh man they're gonna look hella awesome. Ohhhhh Naomi and me are going to bake stuff which I also am looking forward to ✨. So the upcoming Christmas holidays are going to be the best I've ever had.
When I think back on how I used to spend my Christmas holidays, it's kind of depressing. I stayed at home, wasn't in the Christmas mood, didn't interact with anyone and it just sucked. I remember there was even a time were I was close to crying because of loneliness. But this time it's going to be fun and different. I'm just so glad that Naomi, Samurai and me got to be such good friends. The best Christmas present I could ever wish for.
...shit now that I think of it, I still got to finish drawing the Christmas presents for everyone... Fudge..... Oh god I hope it'll look good enough. (Yes I draw Christmas presents digitally cuz daz the only thing I can afford... Sadly. I wish I just could work part time or stuff so I could buy all my friends presents. But my grades are too low for that.)
I can't wait for Christmas and new years eve. I think this year wasn't that bad as 2016. I've got to meet many friendly people. Make new friends. Figured stuff out about myself. The only thing that didn't really change is my laziness, weight and ....height. (I kinda got a complex with my height cuz people make fun of it. I mean. It's kinda embarrassing to be 5'2 at the age of 16. Ughhhh I didn't grow one single centimeter since 3 years now and that spooks me... WHAT IF I'LL STAY THIS SHORT FOREVER ;-;)
I've heard that people like short girls cuz it's cute or shit but honestly would you rather get seduced by a short middle-school kid or a tall hawt woman? Yeah I'd pick the tall one too.
And ffs my personality is pretty childish too. Like... When I can't reach stuff or eat sometin I subconsciously make sounds like "hnnng" or "nom". I've only noticed it when a friend mentioned it and I thought "bish u right 0_0". And yaaaah many people will prolly think that I picked that up cuz I watched too much anime but I actually remember that my ex-best friend did that thing too. And I've heard that when you like or admire a person you sometimes subconsciously copy their habits or behavior. So. Daz what happened. Is2g I'm not a weeb.... Man it smells like food downstairs... meat...
Ok I'm hella hungry so imma go eat sum meat.
Buh-byeeeeeee (22:04)

Feelings are so indescribable. Shit I didn’t even know indescribable was a word, just said it in my head and typed it and it exists. Right now I just ate a meal and not ten minutes has passed and I’ve made my way into bed. I am feeling very relaxed and tired. Today is a do nothing day. I start work very soon so I guess today and Sunday are my days to enjoy before I get busy. Yesterday after coming home late as usual, it was 23:05ish and as I was putting my jacket back in its place of my cupboard I noticed like I always do the mess within that place. My whites just hanging over the bar of hanged clothes for days now, the UO bags full of shit below with all my fanny packs and other bags and new socks and things jumbled together. I’ve been meaning to put away my whites in the cupboard of my old room where all my clothes still remain. So in my head I said tomorrow I’ll do things and sort this out and clear up some of this clatter. This would subliminally help clear up the clatter in my head too. It’s funny when my possessions are a mess and I have a notion and intention to tidy it and don’t get on to doing it I remain a mess and build up as a mess more yet I still never get around to doing it. It’s not hard and it’s not deep but there’s this unexplainable boundary to go ahead and do so and I just don’t because I can’t because I don’t want to. But really I do. It’s just a messy outlook and a messy feeling. Nonetheless during that thought in my head I also knowing me predicted how really and truly id have this tiresome lazy feeling come over me and when I’d actually want to come clean and or even start my scrapbooking I wouldn’t bc of those low feelings over taking my body mind and eyes. I thought it would definitely happen and get in the way of me wanting to things with today and it was true. It happened and here I am feeling tired and unbothered. The weather and gloomy day for sure also adds to it. Makes me want to just be cosy and be at a such a laidback state.
And lately I’ve been out everyday. Spontaneously and uninspontaneously (-just made up a word there) with peaches lol. I love that girl so much. She kept banging on about me being her best friend. Like she’d say it to anyone who’d ask “are you guys sisters?” Even tho we look nothing alike. We just Asian girls. We look, dress, walk, talk completely different. Anyways she got me in to this new job and even people there asked are you guys sisters blah blah and she’s said na we’re best friends. And it wasn’t just her saying it, it was because people asked about or presumed about who we was to each other and all we could say was friends but peaches always responded to these matters and during all these numerous occasions she always said we’re best friends and I had not a problem with that. I liked it. For her to think of me like that, like how? Why? Since when had I made it up there in your life peaches? Me, out of all the other girls you use to hang with. I get it you all drifted and somehow me and you got this close and started only seeing each other so does that mean we have become best friends now that I only see you more than anyone else and you see me more than anyone else? I love it. Our adventures and haram doings. We’re always on the same page and you are one person I can say or tell anything to about. Shit man, you’re actually the first person I’ve met in my 19 years of living that I can be this comfy around and not care for your judgement even knowing you won’t judge at all. Like I don’t even know know you like you don’t me either but I feel we just know each other and we are on one high level of friendship. I loved how you just declared I’m you’re best friend or that we’re best friends to others like yeah b I agree. I consider you my best friend too. I have other best friends also and you are a top one. The girl I actually have titled as “best friend” on my snapchat and contacts isn’t even like you. I wouldn’t even say me and her are as fun as all my other friendships. We have banter but I settled for her I guess since school days and she took up the position of being the best friend bc I was hers and I thought yeah I guess so you’re mine too. Through the years since meeting others their souls and personalities matched me more as my sip of tea. In hindsight I realised how dead I’ve been on the outside due to my friendship with her and alive I really became with these other people I met after. I’m still acting as the best friend with her but I’m not really. She is one of them yes but having other people fill my soul in better ways she remains as nothing compared to these other lot. I love her but I don’t miss her. My bond toward her is very complex I would say. When I’m not with her I develop this bad feeling about her. Like I’d get a vibe off text or our lack of communication sometimes even tho not communicating is so calm with her and I even like it till we do come back and talk again. When I’m with her I forget I ever had bad notions toward her and I’m automatically good with her again. Not that she ever knew how I always feel toward her. I can’t help it. It’s not her fault or mine. I just feel things toward any human I know or meet. During one whole period of time I always kept feeling this bad way toward her like I didn’t like her or I was annoyed at her and it would be because of nothing. I couldn’t even come at her about things because this silly fight would only be one sided and go on inside of me. It’s just all in my head. But when I saw her it all went away and I’d forget all about it till I wasn’t hanging with her anymore and I’d be at home. It was totally irrationally weird. All of that happened during November December time and it’s blown over now tho. Guess it was just a weird part of my life then. She’s also not at all a bad perosn. She’s one of the most good hearted people I know. Innocent and just about her life and wanting to be someone successful.
She has her struggles and and fun moments and yeah she’s just a girl. Whose also humble and doesn’t realise how beautiful she is regarding her complexity. She’s hot lol and her twin sister and they don’t see it like the world does. They have the eyes of men glued to them and mailing them on social grounds bc they’re hot and people wanna get with them or fuck them. Good girls but not my hottest cup of tea. I’ll keep them bc I like them and can’t chuck em for no apparent reason. They’re harmless and we’re day 1’s still. My girls, my bitches my go to’s.
