Eron hadn't felt the need to ask how or why she found out, but it didn't tame the flush on his cheeks any less. He could only guess as to what the administrators at the flight academy had informed none other than Padmé Amidala. Of what it could mean for him, that was certainly about to be revealed.

"No one." Half of the whole truth that he hoped to still be salvageable before he would ever come to face his grandmother's disappointment. He shifted his feet under her gaze, standing a head taller than her at the bright age of fifteen. "I just got distracted in combat training and got what's coming. That's all."

one time i was talking to my cousin about total drama (i think i’m sometimes delusional about what is a dream and what is not) and i said i liked harold, she said ‘ew you like harold?’ and i swear to god i have never been more irritated at my cousin

this is factual information because when i rewatched tdi with my very neurotypical sister and mother over christmas they both hated them and couldn't see why i liked him... all i could say was You Don't Get It!!!

It’s cool going through Miles’ back catalogue and getting a sense of his playing cus now songs like 505 sound SO obviously like him when before I was only like intellectually aware it was him it’s almost like a new song... like becoming familiar with an actor and watching a movie you’ve seen a million times and suddenly seeing them there

hello! it has been a long time since i've talked through my day! this one had such a big turnaround that i needed to document it, mostly for myself.

i had an appointment with a 'root canal specialist' today bc i had my first app with my new dentist a couple of weeks ago and his xray revealed an abscess wow how fun :) i couldn't feel it bc that tooth has a decade old root canal so there are no nerves to reveal there is anything going on!! fun!!!! he's a super nice dentist, i like him but he made me very panicked lol he was showing me how close it is to my sinuses on the xray. so he was like 'go see this guy asap' bc he wanted to know whether there was a chance my old root canal could be redone or if i'd have to get the whole tooth removed/an implant, all for the low low price of $5-6000 🙃 but obviously you can never see specialists asap!!! so i've been walking around for 2.5 weeks with dread/phantom pains that by the time i saw him the infection would've spread and idk had catastrophic consequences??? and then today when i went there was CONSTRUCTION at the turn i needed to make and the road was closed and i was like i don't know how to get there from another street??!?!?!??! i spent 10 minutes driving through suburban streets and my navigation kept trying to take me back to the original route with the closed road, and its the middle of town so there was nowhere i could just temporarily stop and look at the map, and i called them almost crying to let them know i'm coming but i might be late bc i just can't navigate these streets jegjkdgkjdkg

anyway i MADE it, i think i parked in another business's parking lot and just hoped they didn't care lol and then the lady at the desk was like 'our other specialist will have to see you bc the guy you're here for isn't here' so i was feeling uhhhh not good after my dentist talked him up so much. AND my dentist didn't send over my electronic referral and i had LITERALLY been stressed that he would forget to do exactly that for the whole 2.5 weeks oh my god, thankfully they didnt even seem to care. but then as i was filling out the paperwork in the waiting room 'no judgment' came on, and then 'wolves' right after??? and i was like this seems deliberate to try and calm me down 😂 and when the substitute specialist called me in he was so extremely calming and talked me through my options, one of which is indeed to try and redo the root canal bc he's confident he can, it would still cost a lot but wayyyyy less. he also said i could 'do nothing' (which is obv risky, and i would never do nothing, but that made me realise my infection is not about to bust through and spread across my sinuses any second, one fear down!). he was just softly spoken and super relaxed and he made me feel like this was not in fact a crisis and said i could go and think about what i wanted to do, and just call for an appointment when i decided. and then when i went out to pay 'i want to write you a song' was playing 😭 i asked the receptionists if there was a 1d fan in the house and one of them said it must just be a random playlist on spotify, so this was all a complete coincidence????? i told them i was enjoying it very much.

anyway long story short i had already taken the rest of the afternoon off work to go work in the garden, but figured there was a good chance i'd be so down about an unexpected and immiment $5000 hit that i wouldn't want to do anything, but i drove home feeling extremely reassured that i had options and i was not on the clock to decide, and also very relaxed by 1d playing in the background the entire time. i have also been extremely stressed that i would need to take the next step asap and this would be such a bad time as mum is working 50 hour weeks right now bc of the referendum, so i am on caring duty with nonna/nonno anytime we don't have carers here. but there's time! i had a v good afternoon in the garden after all!

very important question for you, mutuals:

have you ever seen a movie called Candleshoe

[inklingofadream]

part of what i like about dracula daily is that it reveals just how much people's ability to recognize historical jargon and/or recognize that something probably changed in meaning between then and now differs. Like ppl will express confusion about things that i didn't realize weren't common knowledge or that i assumed people would suspect were historical and google. and it changes depending on the term, like "queer dreams" gets less confusion and more in-on-the-context jokes than some of the other stuff

"Then they can go to hell! They don't tell us what we're capable of."(Gray to Lilli)

🌙⋆｡°✩ -- bullying the traumatized

“ god , i wish ... ” lilli mutters it beneath her breath . “ but i am still around-- as is my love and our friends , so i suppose that will suffice . ”

yes , she could be a spiteful little thing . it wasn't something the little princess was prideful of , but in gray's company , she felt there was more leeway for such talk . they were kindred spirits , after all-- least in their conception .

but it wasn't her father this time , though it would be easy to put the blame on him . to say that , somehow , he filled these ideas into her head ; but that wasn't it . the girl hasn't seen him in some time-- and it wasn't like the old horror was capable of telepathy ... she hoped .

“ i don't think i want to know what i am capable of . ” she admits , staring at her hands and wondering if it's just the lighting or if they look a shade greyer than what they ought to be . she can feel the writhing within ; that heavy block nestled deeply in her heart . like a parasite .

“ i don't want to hurt anybody . not really . ”

So, we know Thomas Percy, Earl of Worcester was at Shrewsbury with the 16-year-old Hal (Prince Henry, the future Henry V etc.), whose guardian and governor he was. We know that some point before the 20th, Worcester slipped away from Shrewsbury to join with Henry "Hotspur" Percy in the lead up to his rebellion, bringing with him "a significant proportion of the garrison" and according to Walsingham, perhaps having stolen money and treasures from the Prince.

I sometimes wonder if Worcester had hoped to or tried to abduct Hal to serve as a hostage against Henry - or perhaps hoped to get him to defect to their side.

And can you imagine this poor 16-year-old kid discovering his guardian just abandoned him to join a rebellion against his father and the city's about to be under siege and his dad's nowhere in sight and a lot of the garrison's troops are gone? And he's in charge?

Ash gritted her teeth, barely registering Little Cato's voice egging her on. She didn't have to hear what he was saying. She just had to push forward.

D̵͇̚̕͝i̸̓͘e̴͇̔͛̀.

Her powers pulsed against the Lord Commander’s, just barely controlled. Rage filled her being. She narrowed her eye at the small--so very, utterly small--creature before her. He was so insignificant. So tiny. So why was she having trouble wiping him from existence?!

"Finish him, Ash! Kill him!" Little Cato sneered, though he wasn't sure she could hear him. He looked around the place, watching as tendrils of eerie light swirled around them. Not a threat, but a promise. He tried the chains again, but he was stuck fast--not even enough wiggle room to...well, wiggle. He knew the others were in the same predicament without even looking, though he thought he could hear Fox stifling sobs. In any other situation, he might have teased the Tryvuulian, for old time’s sake.

He looked back down, at the platform where Ash and the Lord Commander were having their dark magic duel. Even if Ash won the battle, would there be time for her to rescue everyone? Or anyone?

"Dad," he said, his voice smaller than it had been a moment ago. "We got this, right? Gary's gotta be on his way..."

"Doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do" was said matter-of-factly, but—there was always going to be a but with her—it'd be a lie to say it wasn't intriguing even in the slightest. "Where'd he say it was gonna be?" Like a particularly meddlesome neighbor living next door to this family, he couldn't help to not pry into business that wasn't his. Adjusting the blaster strapped to his hip, he glanced over at her direction to check if she carried her own. "You got your blaster with you, right? Just in case we run into trouble along the way."

sometimes I remember motorcity and how it got replaced by a show about a snail

Like YES it was a kids show but thinking about how good it was for one and we lost it so soon makes me

everyday i commit to making art and making something i can be proud of, then i post it, have a subsequent breakdown and spiral into deep depression when it gets nowhere, and swear off art forever because of how damaging it is to my mental health in the end . then i pick up my pen a day later and tell myself this time will be different, it has to be (it is a cycle, it will not be)
