@tokyoteddywolf and I were chatting, and she fed me the lovely line "Mama raised a fool not a quitter!" about Momo and Rosie.

Instant mental image.

Mama does not approve of that line. XD

BOOK BOOK BOOK!

I finally published! Share everywhere, with everyone, leave a review ❤️

Part 1 of 5, it takes place in a fleshed out fantasy world, but my focus with writing will always be on the people walking through it. It's about their experiences in the situations I put them in, forcing them to learn about themselves and grow. Three different MC's that experience the world's in VERY different ways lmao.

And don't let the age category fool you, that's a publisher's mistake, it's 18+. This story is filled with 25yo+ adults dealing with adult issues, and I write explicit. Even if it's not the focus, violence is had 👌

Out here making out-of-context memes about the next TTWS chapter instead of writing it

Fave thing about The Third Wheeler is that Holly never questions the fact that Mike doesn’t have a girlfriend. Not once. She’s truly just like “of course Mike can’t pull any bitches no need to be rude and gossip about him still having to share rent with his best friend”

October 19th, 1996

Dear diary,

Yesterday was so much fun! I haven’t been able to stop practicing Champagne Supernova all morning long. It’s still such a great song, and it’s even better now that I can play it myself.

It was weird leaving school with Mike yesterday though - first of all, to hang around after last period while everyone else rushed for the door, and then to wait as the school emptied out and Mike gathered his stuff. He had to make a detour past the office, so by the time we were on the parking lot it was basically empty.

I asked where Will was, and Mike explained that Will doesn’t have any classes on Friday afternoon so he went to pick up El from the greyhound terminal in Indianapolis. She is home again for a few weeks after spending the last two in Chicago with Max, Lucas, and Erica.

I was disappointed at first, but Mike assured me he’d be back for dinner. Just as I’d feared, it was awkward to be around Mike while it was just the two of us - I mean the only other time that has happened was when I was having a minor breakdown. It was a lot of awkward silence at first, asking stilted questions about how I was doing, and Mike tapping nervously on the steering wheel. I’d forgotten how twitchy he was, he manages to hide it well enough during class, but he does pace a lot, so that might be his outlet there.

Anyway, once he got back to his house it was a little easier - he got us something to drink and ran upstairs to grab his extra guitar - and then we settled into the sunroom to start practicing.

It was easy then - with the guitars between us like a barrier and having something to focus on that wasn’t each other. There was no expectation of talking about ourselves, no need to fill the awkward silence. The practice I got at at Stevenson’s paid off, as the intro to the song already went much smoother for me than it did Mike - I could even give him tips on shifting his fingers more easily.

By the time Will got back, I kind of regretted the interruption. It had been nice to spend time with Mike - after a while, it felt nothing like I’d feared; he didn’t make me feel small or like a child at all. For once, it felt like we were just friends hanging out. Even the moments where he was being too much of an annoying know-it-all older brother were strangely welcome.

I just don’t get why it couldn’t have been like this all along. Why, when he actually should have been my older brother, he was a million miles away.

I can’t think about it too much - I get too frustrated.

Anyway, Will got back and started on dinner while we continued playing. It was nice of him to cook for us so we could have more time to practice. Mom showed up right on time for dinner, and though tonight was a lot more casual than last time, it was just as nice. It's strange how quickly you can get used to something. Mike and mom mostly talked about Nancy and Jonathan’s latest work trip to Argentina. Apparently Nancy called right before mom was about to leave which is why she was a bit delayed. I think that made it easier for them - not having to focus on each other.

I’m sad I missed the call, so I might try calling her myself later tonight.

Anyway, I won’t get around to completing Song of Myself today as I’d planned, as dad and I are going on a spontaneous trip to the antiquities market in Bedford. I should have just asked Mike to read it to me while I was there yesterday. Hell, maybe I can convince Mike to just give me the cliff notes for Walden because I’m really not looking forward to having to read that next weekend. I already tried reading it once two summers ago, the last time we went to the lake, because it seemed appropriate, and it made me want to carve my eyeballs out from boredom.

I kept waiting for something to happen and all it did was make me want to rewatch Friday the 13th just so I could imagine someone chasing this guy around his cabin with an axe.

Anyway, I’m excited to go out with dad today. He’d just casually mentioned seeing an ad for the market during breakfast - I don’t think he was actually planning on going until I asked if we could go together so I’m glad I did. He doesn’t leave the house often enough these days. And I’ve barely seen him since school started because I’ve been so busy myself.

I heard him and mom arguing last night - though I couldn’t hear much, I’m pretty sure it was about having dinner at Mike’s. I really can’t fault him over it either. It’s just so confusing because Mike and mom talked much easier than last time, but seem to agree on not letting dad join us as well - I really don’t understand.

I know dad and him don't have much in common, but it’s not like they fought all the time either. Hell, dad doesn’t even yell ever - not even when Mike disappeared for hours on end and had mom worried out of her mind for the millionth time. I know I have no experience yet in being an adult but I’m sure having your parents over is just something you have to put up with - even if it’s against your will.

Besides, how can you actually learn to enjoy spending time with your parents when you never give them the chance? Nancy and mom get along better now than they ever did before. And sure, Nancy gets frustrated too sometimes with dad’s opinions, but she still comes over whenever she can and deals with it!

But what do I know, right?

Anyway, I really should be getting ready - dad wanted to leave before 11 and I have to be back in time for cheer practice.

Love, Holly

PS. Also mom called the developer and our homecoming pictures should finally be done sometime next week!!! I’m so excited to see how they turned out!

GUYS, I FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO WILL IN DR SUNSHINE IS DEAD OMG

so first, he is seen digging, and my theory is his own grave

Then, it is shown that in spongebob, we see a will wood in the sponge bob world being dug up in the same place

This leads to two things:

OUR WORLD WILL BE BIKINI BOTTOM

WILL WOOD IS TRAPPED IN THE SPONGEBOB WORLD, WE NEED TO FREE HIM

gosh, I love making 💩 posts 💀

Obviously this is not what happens, but it’s funny they still have the same vibe

Return to normalcy: Part 2

< Previous | Next >

Text below the cut

A short time later, Xavier sees Christian and his daughter, Rosalie, across the playground, heading their direction. Finally, Xavier thinks to himself.

Luna notices him too.

“There he is. Took him long enough.”

Xavier nods in agreement.

Christian approaches and smiles.

“Hey guys. I’m here.”

“I see that. Glad you could make it.” Luna says.

“Sorry, I was actually trying to be on time, but a certain little miss decided it would be funny to hide my shoes. My only pair of shoes, mind you. She found it pretty amusing, didn’t you, Rose?”

Rosalie giggles. Definitely her father’s daughter.

The twins laugh at the thought of Christian frantically searching around the house for his shoes while Rosalie watches on.

“So, where were they?” Luna asks curiously.

“Toybox. Probably should have looked there first.” Christian replies. “I’ve got a little prankster on my hands and I don’t know how to feel about that.”

“Like father, like daughter,” Xavier replies.

“Ain’t that the truth,” Christian says.

Christian walks Rosalie over to the others, waves a greeting to Cassie and returns to the table.

“So, how’s it going?” 

“Same old, same old,” Xavier answers.

“Alright, I suppose.” says Luna.

Christian raises his eyebrows questioningly, but decides not to push it further. 

“Okay, then.” 

He takes a seat at the table across from them, looking slightly disheveled, but otherwise looking well. Months ago, Xavier didn’t think he would see him like this again. Truthfully, he thought Christian was too far gone to be helped, that he’d lost his brother for good. But seeing him here now, he’s thankful that things worked out. Christian is noticeably more relaxed, just enjoying life as it’s meant to be. Luna caught on to this as well.

“You look good, Christian. And dare I say… happy?” she says.

Christian looks taken aback for a brief moment and nods. 

“I guess that’s what you can call it.”

A slight smile plays on his lips and he continues.

“Is this what it’s like to live like a normal person? Like, for real, I’ve been missing out.”

Xavier smiles and nods.

“Yes. Most of us don’t have to deal with all the bullshit that you did.”

“I could get used to this.”

“As you should,” Luna says “You deserve it.”

“I should probably stay out of relationships for a while, huh?” Christian asks.

Thinking of Christian’s track record, it probably was in his best interest to not date anyone, for the time being at least. Almost every partner he’s had in the past has been manipulative, toxic or not interested in anything serious. He really needs to work on himself before committing to someone else, in Xavier’s opinion anyway.

“Might be a good idea,” says Xavier. “At least until you’ve got things figured out.” 

“Single it is, then. Got it.”

Christian goes silent, closing his eyes and taking in the sunlight, the breeze ruffling his dark hair. He breathes a sigh of relief, his body relaxing further. It’s so odd to Xavier to see his brother so chill and unbothered. It’s a refreshing change from everything that has happened over the past several years. As Luna said, he deserves it. For the first time in a long time, Christian was truly happy and it was a sight to see.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.

[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

Ngl I wish the other BL games were like BL1 like I think that the other Borderlands games rely too much on comedy and stupid shit were as BL1 was more grounded and less comical

Like yeah BL1 had it's comedic moments like with the whole thing with Ned and Zed and the whole goofy annoyingness of Claptrap and Knoxx wanting to kill himself because of how much he hated being on Pandora but it wasn't an entire focus on comedy which is something the rest of the Borderlands games focused on

Sure BL1 suffered some things that could've been done better like have it be more story driven and have a better villain but in terms or atmosphere and less focus on comedy I'd say Borderlands 1 is the best game in the Borderlands franchise

Plus the future games treats the vault hunters like legendary heroes (tho BL3 barely acknowledges the vault hunters outside of gameplay) whereas in BL1 you're basically some nobody on the biggest shithole of the universe looking for some myth that may not even exist

I honestly would've prefered if BLTPS BL2 TFTBL BL3 and MTFTBL were more like BL1

Don't get me wrong I love the Borderlands franchise but I absolutely loathe how dependant the rest of the games are on comedy because most of Borderlands comedy after BL1 can be summed up as swearing, toilet humor and stupid pop culture references

Imo Borderlands suffers the same thing that post Dead Rising 1 post Saints Row 2 and post GTA 4 games suffer from and that's that they are too silly and rely too much on comedy
