#what if there was an awesome doctor. and they cared about what was wrong with you.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hi i wanted to share that i got an IUD for the first time and my doctor was really really good about informed consent/communication in general—asked if there was specific anatomical language i preferred or was uncomfortable with (i’m trans); explicitly said that if it at any point something felt wrong or i changed my mind he would stop; talked me through what he’d be doing for the entire procedure before starting anything including what level of pain/discomfort i should expect at different stages; showed me the speculum so i could see the size and explained why he needed to use it; for that matter showed me everything he’d be using, down to the cotton swabs, and explained their purpose; and then during he was again talking me through what he was doing and where he was going to be touching me and everything. and i hadn’t like told him i was nervous or distrustful or anything, this was clearly just standard procedure! sharing partly bc i thought it might spark joy for you and also bc ive seen enough shitty doctor experience stories on your blog that i want people to know that they absolutely can and should hold doctors to high standards of care and communication bc it is absolutely possible to treat your patients with respect and make them feel safe and like they have autonomy!

this is an awesome experience! thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate being able to platform stuff like this so people have a good point of comparison for how healthcare providers ought to treat them and know that there are better options out there :)

I'm getting to a point in writing where I want to write more about my ocs than about the canon characters but at the same time it feels like going to middle school art club and being like "this is trilly, they're nonbinary and homeless in the fantasy 1940s and they're traveling with their partner whose name is Starlight and she was an orphan saved by one background character from one book and they're traveling to find Trilly's uncle and cousin who went missing in the war and I think they're really cool so please care about them!"

[archangeldyke-all]

I love all of the isha, jinx, reader and sev found family so much.

Was wondering about a reader who had a shaky relationship with their family. A couple of ideas. Maybe they are so worried about hurting isha, or they don't really know much about parenting and family. Maybe they are just hesitant. Or they don't talk too much either, but connect with isha.

I have no clue, would love anything, love your writing so much!! Totally fine if not I hope you have an awesome day either way :))

- 🌱

eeeee gonna combine this!!

thinking abt jinx isha and sev snuggling up to reader when she’s sad :(

men and minors dni

there are days, for both you and sevika, where the abundance of love from your new found family overwhelm you.

neither of you had the best childhoods. neither of you are close with your families now. and sometimes realizing that this is what a family is supposed to feel like kinda paralyzes you.

it's a horrible combination of grief and horror for your younger self, and for jinx and isha before they had you, and a gratefulness that you've managed to escape the cycles of abuse that have haunted your bloodlines.

it happens to sevika most often. jinx will spill a glass at dinner and you'll all calmly clean it up, giggling and teasing jinx for her butterfingers-- and sevika will get choked up with how easy it is. how little yelling, bleeding and crying had to occur for the problem to be solved.

she usually has to take a minute to herself, sometimes dragging you with her to the bedroom to bury her face against your neck and breathe in your scent as she calms down.

but after a few minutes, it washes over her, and she's back to her normal self.

it's different for you. it isn't little moments that trigger it, it just creeps up out of nowhere. you'll wake up one morning with the weight of the world pinning you to the bed, and you just won't be able to get up.

today's one of those days.

you don't know why it's happening now, but it's happening. how could you face a world that would treat a child so horribly that she can't talk? a world where doctors will fuse teenage girls' blood with shimmer, permanently altering her senses and instincts? a world where 'peacemakers' flood the streets with toxic gas?

you can't. at least not today.

"baby, it's almost eleven." sevika whispers, gently pulling the blankets away from your body. "'re you sick?" she asks, feeling your forehead tenderly.

her touch makes you weepy. you take a shaky breath. "i just--" you cut yourself off with a squeaky sob. sevika's face falls, and she quickly scrambles to join you in bed, scooping you into her arms. "i just can't do it today, sev." you say, falling apart against her chest.

sevika lets you cling to her, gently stroking your back and kissing your head as you cry against her. "that's alright, love." she whispers. "i'll do it all for you today."

this only makes you cry harder.

"sevika, where'd you go?! we're about to race rainbow road, c'mon i wanna watch isha kick your ass aga-- oh, shit." jinx cuts herself off, her eyes wide as she blinks at the pair of you. "y-you alright, sweetcheeks?" she asks, a worried little frown on her lips.

before you can answer, little footsteps come thumping toward your room. hurry up, big mama! isha signs as she comes sprinting in the room. her eyes get wide and worried, and she tugs jinx's hand pointing at you with concern. ms. baby, what's wrong? isha asks.

"she's just... having a rough day, kids." sevika explains, rubbing your back for you. a few tears leak out of your eyes at her gentle voice and her careful words. "y'know those days where you just need to be sad?"

jinx seems to understand, her eyes softening in sympathy and one of her arms reaching out to start playing with isha's hair. "yeah, i've had a few of those." she chuckles wryly. "just gotta cry in bed until tomorrow." jinx shrugs. "sorry, sweetcheeks."

you smile weakly at jinx. "'s alright. i'll be up and at 'em again soon."

isha's still worried, though. ms. baby, do you need a kiss? she signs.

you burst into a fresh round of tears, and jinx chuckles, just a little. "t-that would be great, isha." you sob. isha scrambles into bed beside you and sevika, carefully holding your face between her tiny hands as she kisses your forehead. it's surprising just how much her little kiss makes you feel better. you chuckle a little. "thanks kiddo."

"do you wanna come lay on the couch? watch us play mario? you can still cry and sleep, but at least we'll be there to keep you company." sevika offers.

you smile, then frown. "that sounds amazing, baby, but i don't think i have the energy to get out of bed." you admit. sevika scoffs and gets out of bed. your heart sinks, and you choke on a sob. "i-i know it's pathetic, 'm sor--"

"baby, shut the fuck up." sevika says, ripping the blankets off of you. you gasp and shiver, and sevika leans down and easily hauls you up into her arms. you gasp and squeal, and jinx and isha burst into laughter and screams. "jinx, will you grab a few pillows for her?" sevika asks as she starts carrying you into the living room. jinx trails behind you, your pillows and a blanket in her arms.

isha disappears into her bedroom, only to return as sevika's settling you down on the couch, placing her favorite bunny plushy in your arms. bunny will make you feel better. she signs. you start to cry again, nodding and thanking her shakily, cradling the stuffy to your chest.

isha and jinx settle down on the floor in front of the couch, and sevika covers you up with blankets before pulling your legs into her lap and sitting beside you. "you gonna be able to sleep with us screaming at each other?" she asks, grabbing her controller. you chuckle and nod.

"no different from any other nap i take." you tease. sevika grins and you sigh happily, your heart throbbing with appreciation and love.

you fall asleep after sevika falls off the track for the third time. when you wake back up, isha and jinx have piled on top of you and sevika, all three of them snoring as they enjoy an afternoon nap.

despite the heaviness in your chest and your tired eyes trying to drag you back to sleep, you take a moment to remember the moment before you close your eyes--knowing that despite all the horrible associations you've had with family in your past; from now on this is what family will be.

Hey does anybody know a quick and reliable corpse remover

[i-yap]

people i ship with the batboys + bruce

Dick grayson -

I want a non-hero, non-g ginger y/n ..so like basically not his type at all. Someone really smart in ONE subject..nothing like super high IQ has been coding hacking blah blah since he was 10 dick. A nurse or doctor or mental health professional. She is also really into helping people but in her own legal way. she is middle class and met dick as his detective persona not Nightwing persona. She is also mildy insecure of her looks and jealous which is what dick and y/n end up fighting most about. She is mostly quiet and introverted but great with polite mingling (for those galas) but she always gets super drained afterwards . she is super confident and passionate about that one subject and really wants to make a change the normal way ( not by becoming a crime fighting nighttime vigilante)

Jason todd

Bro is so broken that the most logical would be to give him an angel y/n but that's no fun. Artist y/n or singer y/n, someone who can really express their emotions through their art style( preferably very feminine or girly). Someone who really loves expressing themselves with hairstyles, clothes, etc. Someone fun, happy and at peace with their identity and self image. Great at hanging out with people but usually goes off on her own to do her own thing . HAS TRAUMA TOO but something more verbal or emotional and she successfully dealt with it. She is busy but will always cancel stuff for the people she loves or even cares about.

Tim drake

(i love him with conner) he is kind of tricky but like reckless y/n. they meet young. is in a shit situation (abusive household+ lots of responsibility maybe takes care of her younger siblings) super poor and hates the rich. smokes does drugs drinks and everything wrong but if you bring it up she will leave. closed off except with time. feels like the world is on her shoulders but just does small pleasures to waste it all away. small pleasures could be grocery store shopping or finding abandoned schools. Wants to become a big lawyer someday so she can get respect and help others get respect but she cant even attend a good high school or leave her household ( the siblings) . was sxually assalted . she is strong a little broken but tries everyday to be happy but just cant. so very protective of tim Awesome taste in music tbh

Bruce

he is so tough to write for

someone younger than him ( the age gap causes slight issues). smart girl , very bossy, and will force people to take care of themselves. no nonsense I will not stand if you come late to our date kind of girl. she is sweet good with people, a bit too mature for her age. rich family , indian, multiple siblings basically the big indian or Spanish family where everyone lives in big ass bungalows . Loves the beauty of gothic style but is very elegant and feminine herself. clasiccal dancer. Dissapointed her parents by becoming a teacher but then reclaimed her place by becoming big professor in big uni (during her being with bruce) . A choice comes to leave gotham or leave big uni choice, bruce retires and goes to small area which has her uni. Wants kids , loves kids . A little silly but not in a childish way. in a mom puns way

HONKAI STAR RAIL MEN AS FATHERS! pt two.

— featuring ┊luocha, welt, sampo koski x fem!reader (all separate)

— warnings / content warnings ┊hsr men as fathers pt 2 !! mostly fluff, not proofread, mentions of pregnancy i think?? i forgot, them being absolute sweethearts, DILFS DILFS DILFS! overall just fluff | pt one here. (jing yuan, blade, dan heng, gepard) pt three. (aventurine, dr ratio, argenti, sunday, boothill, gallagher)

— a/n ┊PART TWO OF THE HSR PAPAS!!! luocha n jing yuan prettiest dilfs i’ve ever seen foreal no one can convince me otherwise!

best papa #1 luocha

— LUOCHA would be a loving doting father, i feel like he’d have two boys and one girl (jesus christ) and his two boys would look exactly like him, long blonde hair n same features aaahh ALSO HIS LITTLE PRINCESS WOULD HAVE HER DADDY’S EYES IM CALLIN IT RN! in conclusion his kids would look majestic just like their papa ! when he had his first child he probably shed a tear or two, holding him carefully in his arms :(( he’s a natural dad like jing yuan, it’s like he immediately knew what to do and was a natural at everything! by the time his third child was born he got the hang of taking care of his kids <33

— LUOCHA who’s children got injuries sm as kids n he was always there to aid them <3 during games he would participate in, there would probably be a time where one of them got hurt ATLEAST once, like his son falling over one time n luocha hastily walking over to him and picking him up from the ground + he’s the type to kiss their booboos once he helped disinfect it, putting a bandaid wherever they got injured and kiss it better :(( his children r so lucky to have a father who has good medical skills foreals crying emoji + it’s not only for this, he’s always willing to nurse them back to health!

“does that feel better?”

“m—mhm..” his son nodded, wrapping his small arms around him, sobbing quietly against his neck

“there there, no need to cry my angel. daddy already kissed your boo-boo, you’ll be alright.”

— LUOCHA who would take such good care of his children whenever they were sick, he was a natural at this due to his awesome amazing medical skills! he knew exactly what to do and what to give them, he’s such a caring father it’s insane it’s fun cuz y’all don’t even have 2 go to the doctor to check what’s wrong with your kids, luocha would know what’s going on! a fever? a cold? he knows! and he’s always nursing them back to health like i said !

— LUOCHA who would teach his children about medicine, i feel like all three of his children would have different dreams they wanted to pursue but i feel like his daughter would be interested in medicine just like he is, he found it adorable how she would play with her dolls and pretend to be their doctor, it’s so adorable to see his kids pursuing different dreams and him supporting every single one of them, he’s so chill hearts emoji

— LUOCHA would try his best to be there for his kids. because he’s a merchant, he tries his best not to be absent and wants to be there in their lives :(( he wants to see his kids grow up, y’know??? he loves them sm, and he loves YOUUU <3 i bet he takes his kids out from time to time so he could make new memories with them they could carry with them for the rest of their lives, he knows life is short, yes. that’s why he’s trying to live his life to the fullest with his family, he knows one day he won’t always be there to scoop them back up from the ground to aid their injuries :((

best papa #2 welt

— WELT would be a great father, he’s a lil strict on some ends but he’s not SEVERELY strict, i think he’ll have two sons (maybe a daughter too who knows) he made a promise to himself he’ll protect his two kids until the end of time :(( his sons would have their daddy’s eyes, and some features of him too! but they mostly look like their mommy sososweet

“look, they have daddy’s eyes.”

“do they?”

“mhmmm.. look at him, he looks just like you”

(his heart is slowly starting to melt as u speak)

— WELT who would give one of the best hugs, i feel like he’s that type of dad who’s serious like half of the time but whenever he’s with his family or spending time with his sons, he’s always willing 2 show a smile or two, but back onto it! he gives the best hugs, his favourite thing to do is hug his sons and kiss the temple of their foreheads before he goes out, he may be serious and a lil strict.. but he loves his sons just as much as he loves anything else, behind that strictness he rlly does love a good hug from his sons

— WELT who would bring his wife and kids along to the astral express, it’s so cute bc imagine seeing two pudgy wudgy little babies crawling around, i bet himeko would unofficially be their godmother too LMFAO <33 when they grow into toddlers, his sons would love bothering him at work, climbing on his leg and climbing on his desk, he doesn’t mind it it’s acc so surprising how he manages to keep a straight face! and when he wants to calm them down, he just sets both of them on his lap

“settle down. let papa finish this, okay?” he would pick them up, his sons giggling as they help him work along the way (😭😭😭)

— WELT who works at the astral express a lot so he doesn’t see his kids much :(( but he always comes home to you and them with gifts and souvenirs from other worlds! his kids would always run to him and hug his leg, welt scooping them up with a smile on his face ;; AAAA SO SO SO CUTE!

“papa! papa papaaaa!”

“did you miss me?” the two boys ran to their dad, hugging his leg as welt picked them up from the floor squeezing them into a hug “i got a few things for you both.”

“what is it what is it?!”

“i want to see, papa!”

“alright alright, settle down now. it’s a surprise, you’ll have to behave and guess first.”

— WELT who would give his sons advice on how to be better people, his advice is always so firm and straightforward.. he wants them to be gentlemen, he wants them to be the best they can be! he would teach them exactly how 2 be gentlemen, he would raise his sons to be one of the most respectful and kindest ppl ever <33 when they mature and shape into those kind of ppl one day, sometimes he looks back to when he was still able to carry them around like it was nothing :(( he knows his children r growing up and deep down inside he doesn’t want them to, he truly does love and cherish his sons, he’s so glad he was able to shape his sons into good ppl just like he wanted <33

best papa #3 sampo

— SAMPO is one of the most fun and uplifting dads out of everyone, i’m calling it rn he’s a girl dad n has a daughter, i’m calling that rn! he’s such a fun dad to have, like having him as a dad means everyday is never boring, he always makes everything fun! (u cant tell me that he doesn’t love making dad jokes during dinner in the dinner table, he absolutely loves making them it’s so funny)

— SAMPO who would let his daughter do anything with him, oh she wants to play dress up? he’s putting on a dress that can barely fit him rn! she wants to have tea with her plushies? he’s already setting up the tables, she wants to put makeup on his face and nail polish on his nails? he’ll let her! he’s such a fun girl dad, always willing 2 do what his daughter wants to do :((

“stay still, daddy! i’ll mess up if you keep moving around!” his daughter would pout, holding her mommy’s makeup in her tiny little hands

“sorry princess, the brush is ticklish. gotta’ be more gentle with me, yeah? you’re grabbin’ and brushin’ at my face too roughly” he chuckled, patting her back

“sorry daddy, i just want to make you look pretty! now, still please!” she’s so sassy just like he is, but he loves her sm!

— SAMPO would be such a dumbass. first things first, he has this issue with losing his daughter from time to time at amusement parks or places in general, always finding her crying alone and having to scoop her up in his arms apologizing and showering her with kissies + second he can’t even help her with her homework from school because he “doesn’t remember doing this” he would be complaining more than her! skull emoji it would always be HER teaching him instead of HIM teaching her LMFAOO

“why’re there s’many numbers here, angel?! this is what you learn everyday?”

“do you seriously not know how to do this?” you raised a brow.

“ you can’t blame me! i ain’t ever got good grades, can’t even remember how to calculate nine times ten!”

“you’re lying.”

“.. yeah i am. but there’s so much numbers, babe! look! this is what our princess has to deal with!”

— SAMPO who would show off his daughter to everyone, bragging about her accomplishments and bragging about how lucky he is to be her father, he’s so stupid it’s hilarious he absolutely loves his little princess sm !! he never shuts up abt how much he loves her and how proud he is w how far she’s come in life, he’s just thankful to have a family that’s all :(( he’s such a sweetheart he’s always so proud and supportive hashtag girl dad

— SAMPO who probably has social media accounts dedicated to his whole family, his wife and his little angel <33 he would absolutely love posting pictures of his family all together + his family in general, his phone would be filled with videos of his daughter from loooong ago, showing her the video and teasing her about it! he almost never deletes pictures of his daughter and you from his phone, he cherishes his family sm n it absolutely shows, always vlogging from time to time n documenting his life w you and his princess <33 HES SO ADORABLE IT HURTS MY HEART ALMOST

synopsis: " you were supposed to stay a crewate, just another back to watch, " he tightened his hold, " i didn't even notice the change until i woke up one day and realized i'd take a bullet for you "

"You know, I oughta punch you for scaring us like that," Nami scolded, a hand on her hip as Usopp sat up in the bed.

"Yeah, no kidding," Sanji agreed, "Though it looks like you've taken enough punches already, if you ask me."

He took a drag from his cigarette.

"What were you thinking taking those guys on alone?"

"Yeah, you can't just run off and fight whoever you want," Zoro crossed his arms

You scoffed with a smirk, "That's a good one coming from you..."

Luffy laughed loudly at your joke, but Usopp didn't look in the joking mood.

"This wouldn't have happened if I was strong like you guys. I'm sorry!" he sniffled, looking down at the sheets, "It's all my fault! I'm so ashamed of myself!"

He quickly got off the bed, dropping to his knees and hugging Zoro's legs, crying into his pants.

"Hey, hey, stop! I get it! I know you're sorry, but you don't have to get all touchy-feely on me okay?!" Zoro exclaimed, uncomfortable, as he tried to shake the boy off.

"But all our savings! All that trouble we went through! What about the Merry?!"

You breath hitched at the mention of the ship, now remembering that Usopp had no idea of her condition.

'Shit...'

"Take it easy! You shouldn't be out of bed yet!" Chopper tried to calm him down, ushering him to bed.

"C'mon, calm down. Stop your whining and listen to the doctor," Nami agreed.

"So..." he started, sitting back down, "Is there a chance we might get our money back after all?"

"Well... maybe," Luffy smiled, "We won't know for sure 'til that Franky guy shows up."

Usopp hung his head, "I see. I'm sorry."

"Hey, even if we can't get the rest back, we still have a hundred million berries! Don't worry!"

The captain broke out in a couple chuckles, but Nami wasn't having it.

"Yeah, but he lost twice that much!"

"Nami..." You warned, wanting to spare the sniper's feelings.

She suddenly realized what she said, dialing it back, "Eh. Sorry, Usopp."

"No, it's fine," he assured, "More importantly, is Merry gonna be okay?"

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned to each other, nervous.

"I mean, can we get her repaired with the money we have left? We're lucky we have all these awesome shipwrights to work on her. But I know things are gonna get rough out there, so I want her to be stronger than ever before."

No one knew how to break it to him.

No one wanted to be the one to break it to him.

But it was cruel to let a friend believe something untrue.

"We gotta do a lot more than just a little touch up. So do you think those guys'll still do a good job if we only have a hundred million to pay with? You talked to them about it, right?"

"Uh, yeah," Luffy started, taking a deep breath, "But we aren't having them repair it."

Usopp cocked a brow, confused.

"We decided to get a new ship instead."

The sniper's face quickly morphed into shock, somehow not understanding.

"I know that we probably should've asked you first, but we didn't have much choice. Either way, I've made up my mind," Luffy sighed, "The Going Merry has taken good care of us. But it looks like our journey with her has to end here."

Usopp still had the same shocked expression stuck on his face, and you could feel in your gut that something was wrong.

'Crap...'

He was silent.

Too silent.

"Anyway," Luffy tried to start back up, picking up a magazine full of ship prices, "Ice Pops gave us this awesome ship catalog to flip through. There's all kinds of different ships we could pick from in here. And if we decided to shop for a used model, we could go bigger than the Merry, and still keep our budget under a hundred million."

"Wait," Usopp cut through, suddenly smiling, "I get it, Luffy, but the joke's gone on long enough, okay? See? Chopper doesn't know you're kidding."

Your eyes went wide.

'Oh shit...'

"Look how upset this is making him. Jeez, Captain, you should know better than to treat your crew like that. C'mon, (y/n), back me up here."

You were at a loss for words.

It was clear the poor boy was in denial, and doing his best to deflect from the reality of the situation.

But when he landed his eyes on Luffy's dead serious face, his own features fell.

"Hold up, does that mean we... don't have enough for repairs? It's 'cause I lost the two hundred million, isn't it?! And now we can't afford the work on the Merry! Is that what this is about?! After all, a first-class shipyard is gonna cost a lot, right!"

"Would you stop and listen to me?!" Luffy tried to calm him.

"What is it?! Tell me! Don't try to sugarcoat it!" Usopp shouted.

"I'm not, okay?! I don't even care that you lost all the money, that's over now!" Luffy shouted back.

"If that's how you feel then what's with all this crap about buying a new ship?!

"Both of you, stop it!" Zoro quickly interjected, wanting to stop things before they got ugly, "Fighting isn't gonna help! Just calm down for a sec."

"I don't see what I'm doing wrong! He's the one saying all this dumb stuff!" Usopp scoffed.

"I know how you feel, but you shouldn't get so worked up right now," Nami chimed, worried.

"Listen to Nami, Usopp, if you don't get any rest, you're not gonna get better!" Chopper agreed.

"Who cares about me?!" he stood up, "How can you just sit here when he's making jokes about getting a new ship?!"

"I'm not joking about anything! This was a hard decision for me, too!" Luffy exclaimed, starting to get frustrated with Usopp's stubbornness.

"Oh, yeah, I feel really sorry for you!" Usopp snatched the catalog out of Luffy's hands, throwing it on the ground, "Already window shopping for a new toy!

Luffy was shocked for a moment, glancing down at the magazine before looking back up at his sniper, clearly upset.

"You trying to pick a fight with me?!"

"I don't want your damn pity, got it? If you tell me it doesn't matter that I lost the money, then why are you talking about buying a new ship?! Just spit it out already! If we can't afford the repairs 'cause I screwed up, then tell me! Don't show me some stupid catalog and change the subject! I want the truth!"

So Luffy gave him the truth.

The hard, sad, and ugly truth.

The sniper was devastated, and clearly spiraling at the news.

So much so that he had to sit down.

"Wha... What did you just say?"

"Don't make me repeat myself," Luffy clenched his fists, "I told you, the Merry can't be repaired any more. No matter what we do... we can't fix her. Otherwise, I wouldn't say something like that."

"You mean this ship?! This ship that we're riding on right now is broken?!"

"That's right. It's only a matter of time before she sinks."

Usopp scoffed, turning away, "What're you talking about Luffy? That's nuts."

"No, I'm serious. The shipwrights took a look at the Merry themselves. They said she wouldn't even hold out until the next island."

"And it's settled? So that's it? A bunch of strangers tell you to scrap your ship and you don't even ask any questions?!" Usopp glared.

"That's enough..."

"I understand that these guys know what they're talking about, but this is just wrong! Don't give up on the Merry!" the sniper shouted.

Luffy's breath hitched at the sight of tears welling in his crewmate's eyes.

He hated seeing his friends cry.

"What about all the adventures we've gone one together?! What about all the battles we've fought?! She's our friend! She's one of us! Are you gonna abandon her for another ship without a second thought?!"

Usopp's scowl was set directly on Luffy, his brows furrowed angrily.

"After all we've been through, is that how little the Merry means to you, Luffy?!"

Tears began to stream down the boy's cheeks, and Chopper moved to rest a hoof on his shoulder. 

"I know you're upset, Usopp, but you need to calm down," the reindeer tried again.

"Sorry, but no," the sniper denied, "I'm not backing down 'til we settle this."

This entire situation had got from bad to worse in a matter of minutes.

And you could only imagine just how far it could tank.

"Usopp, please," Nami begged.

"What? So you know better than the shipwrights? If we had someone on the crew who knew about this stuff, we wouldn't have asked them in the first place!" Luffy exclaimed, looking down at Usopp.

"Then forget them! We don't need those guys telling us what to do," the sniper scoffed, "I'll repair the Merry myself, just like before! We've made it this far, so there's no reason why we can't go on that way."

He started to scoot towards the door.

"Here, I'll get started right now. C'mon, guys, help me out."

"That's not gonna work," Sanji's tone rose, starting to get frustrated.

"That's right, we don't have enough lumbar, do we? I better go buy some at the shipyard. We got a lot of work to—" "You're not a shipwright, Usopp, you hear me?!" Luffy shouted.

"Stop it, Luffy!" you exclaimed.

"Yeah, you're right, I know," Usopp grabbed the papers from the catalog, "But so what?! I don't see why you're so hung up on everything those stupid shipwrights say! If they knew what she'd gone through, they wouldn't give up on the Merry so easy! They just want your money!"

"Usopp..." Nami tried again, keeping her tone soft and calm.

"The Merry's our ship so it's our job to take care of her without someone else butting in! I'm not giving up! I won't let them take the Merry away from me!"

He weakly stood up, turning to look at Luffy angrily.

"The Luffy I know wouldn't cave to some sales pitch from a total stranger! He'd believe in the strength of the Merry and the strength of his crew!" 

He stormed over, yoking up Luffy by his shirt.

"But here you are, acting like you know everything and ignoring your friends! I can't believe that's the kind of captain you turned out to be! I thought you were better than that!"

"You're not being fair, Usopp. Luffy felt the—" "You stay out of this!" Luffy shut Nami down, staring down Usopp.

"It was my call and I stand by it! There's nothing you can do! This is the end of the road for the Merry!"

"I'm not leaving her here! I don't care what you say!" Usopp shouted, shaking the captain, "I know you're always trying to think about the future, but not everyone on the crew is like that! I see the Merry as one of our friends, got it?! And I won't abandon her when she's hurt!"

"Don't be stupid! Even if she is a friend, that doesn't make her a person!"

"She is to me! And she still has the strength to live! But you wouldn't understand that, 'cause all you care about is getting a new ship to play with!"

"Alright, that's enough!" Sanji interjected, stepping forward, "Just calm down and we can settle this later!"

"Would you listen to yourself!" Luffy tackled Usopp, sending each other to the ground.

"Luffy!" you exclaimed, standing up.

This was getting out of hand.

If it went on like this, they were going to hurt each other.

"Don't act like you're the only one who's torn up about this! We all feel the same way!"

"If that was true, then you wouldn't be looking for a new ship!"

"Alright, fine! If you don't like the way your captain does things, why don't you go ahead and get off-" Sanji was quick to kick Luffy away before he could finish the sentence, you, Nami, and Chopper going wide eyed.

"Sanji!" Chopper exclaimed, in utter shock as Luffy went straight through a table.

The cook let the dust settle for a moment, allowing everyone to catch their breath in the tense air.

"This is going way too far! What the hell is wrong with you?!" he scolded, specifically at Luffy, "If you don't watch it, you're gonna say something you can't take back! So calm down!"

The man was panting, the look in his eye very telling of how he saw the argument going down if Luffy had finished.

You walked over, and placed a comforting hand on the cook's shoulder, silently asking him to calm as well.

And he did, taking a deep breath, and allowing his shoulders to drop.

"I'm sorry," Luffy apologized, sitting up and dusting off the debris, "I don't know what I was thinking."

"You don't have to apologize," Usopp stated, his tone far away, "'Cause that's how you really feel, isn't it?"

"That's not true!" The captain was quick to correct, not wanting his friend to get the wrong idea.

The sniper rolled over, carefully pushing himself off the ground, "Just get rid of your dead weight and move on before they can slow you down."

'Shit, shit, shit, don't say it...'

"If you're gonna throw away the Merry, might as well through me away, too."

Recently started playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and GRAHHHH that shit is so good. Peak. [infodumping incoming]

My favorite scenes so far [I'm at the part after Harley releases Poison Ivy] are the ones with Scarecrow. His fear gas is super interesting and scratches my autism brain. like Woah,,,,,,the walls are crumbling, the hall just got 10x longer, WHAT THE HELL WHERE DID THIS ENTIRE NEW PARKOUR AREA COME FROM??? However my only complaint w/ Scarecrow's scenes is that I'm a dumbass and didn't know that ctrl is how you jump down from a ledge. I was pressing every button BUT control. And the Scarecrow scenes aren't very "fun" per se, they are mostly just cool looking. I loveeeee his design, the needle fingers are so cool.

I also must comment that every villain is awesome, I've always loved Joker [all the iterations I know] and he's just silly. like let my silly little guy out, he ain't done nothing wrong [staged a coup in Arkham because a doctor said no to giving him super venom]

Riddler's voice is annoyingly awesome, like he is so condescending but he's SILLY and so I adore him. Like you go little riddle man, riddle me this. Croc's whole thing is terrifying also [I haven't fought him or seen him outside of like 2 scenes but still. He smells Bats guys he's a professional Bat hunter]

Have to say I like Harley's design much better in the Jester suit of her art rather than her actual game design! I don't mind it but it's just Revealing Skin and imo it's not even that nice of a revealing outfit, could do better. 5/10 Don't care for it

ALSO THE GADGETS AND MECHANICS ARE SO AWESOME. The fighting isn't that complicated to understand!! Which is great for me who hates anything more than 3 buttons [you can survive with 3 buttons in Arkham Asylum pretty well through the beginning, I have found]. when I unlocked the Batclaw my soul ascended from my body. FINALLY I can get into those pesky restricted places, I AM SO HAPPY. I absolutely love exploring and collecting things so I am having a lot of fun :3 Plus I just love Batman. Totally not biased [lie]

Anyways the occasional resurgence of my Batman hyperfixation is awesome. it all started because of an essay about how lego batman is queercoded, how did I get here

[brooooswriting]

i just saw you are taking requests for wednesday and jenna. i’m so excited more people are writing for them. seeing as how jenna said she loves doing her own stunts. what about a jenna x reader one where jenna gets hurt on set doing one of her stunts and the reader taking care of her after. just some hurt/comfort and cute fluff.

Stunt

Jenna Ortega x reader

Word count: around 1,400

Jenna was awesome at her job, there really wasn’t any denying that. She was an awesome actor and took every step she could to make her acting as believable as possible.

You haven’t seen her in a couple of days as she was staying on set due to the workload. You didn’t just miss her but were also scared for her, she was clearly overworking herself (like always) and you just hoped that someone would force her to take a break.

The moment your phone rang and you saw Emma’s name on it you already dreaded what she was going to say. Sure you guys often talked and calling each other also was a regular thing but not at 12:30 at night when you knew they were shooting at night today.

“Emma?” You asked as you picked up the phone. “Hey y/n, can you come pick Jenna up?” She nervously chuckled knowing that was going to happen in the next second, you panicked. “Why? What happened? Is she alright?! Where are you guys? Is there-“ you rambled already looking for your car keys. “Calm down, she’s alright. Something went wrong when she was doing a stunt. she’s okay now but you know her, she’s stubborn and won’t leave” Emma explained to you causing you to let out a small laugh. “That seems about right, I’ll be there in 10”

Ten minutes later you arrived on set, Gwendoline was already waiting for you. “Thank you for coming darling. I love Jenna but she can be so unbelievably stubborn” the tall woman grinned causing you to laugh too. “She just doesn’t like being a bit chill or as she says ‘unproductive’” you explained knowing about Jenna’s anxiety. After you finished your sentence you already arrived at the trailer of the set doctor and you ran to your girlfriend the moment you saw her.

“My love, are you alright??” Crouching down next to her laying your hand on her knee. “Yes I am, can I go back to work now?” She was clearly annoyed and anxious. Her shoulder had three small cuts, she had several bruises in her right arm and her right foot was hurt. Other then that she looked ill with terribly dark eye bags under her eyes making you even more worried. “No you can’t. You’re coming home with me!” You didn’t really leave any room for arguments but she still didn’t move.

“Can you guys leave us alone for a second?” You asked the rest of the cast who left you alone. “Jenna” you started and her head immediately shot up, you never said Jenna unless you were mad or it was a really really serious topic. But to you this was one, she was the most important thing in your life and she was overdoing herself. “You’ve been overworking yourself lately, now you’re hurt and you STILL want to overwork yourself. I know that you get anxious when you don’t work and that you think that you’re being useless in the time being. But you’re not unproductive, you are taking care of yourself and you can only do a perfect job if you’re taking care of yourself. Come home with me so we can get you up as fast as possible ok?” You were sitting close to her while quietly trying to get her to come with you. You knew she was on a lot of drugs and didn’t have enough food, water nor sleep so you decided to talk about this with her tomorrow.

Everyday Jenna was fascinated by you, you knew so much about her and you always knew what to say to make her feel better. She had tears streaming down her face when you were done talking and she nodded before pulling you in for a hug. “Let’s go home” you whispered before picking her up bridal style trying not to hurt her. She hissed the first second but then quickly relaxed into you.

When you carried her outside you could hear the cast aww at the two of you. They said their goodbyes and get better wishes before you carefully sat her in the car. The drive was mostly quiet, the brunette took your hand at some point and put it on her thigh causing you to giggle.

Carefully carrying her inside you guys contemplated wether you should take a bath first or eat something. “I’m scared to take a bath, it’s going to hurt terribly” she mumbled into your neck causing you to coo. “I’m going to help you alright?” You gave her some painkillers before helping her undress and into the shower. She stood on one leg as you slightly pulled her against you so she could put more weight off of her foot. You carefully washed her hair and her body peppering kisses along the way in a loving way.

When you were done you wrapped the both of you up in a towel setting Jenna onto the sink before walking off to get some pjs. You had put her favorite ones on top of the heater before showering. The small girls gasped when you helped her put the clothes on, “you warmed them for me?” She whispered and you nodded before helping her walk to the kitchen.

Walking like this was much more exhausting and it took more time than carrying her but you didn’t want her to feel depended, so you let her walk. “What do you wanna eat?” You asked her but you weren’t really surprised when she said the same thing she always said.

After cooking your girlfriend sat on the couch eating the food you made while watching a movie. She was slowly falling asleep on your shoulder an hour later while laying on top of you, your arms tightly around her waist. “Baby” you mumbled slightly shaking her to wake her up but she only grumbled before burying her head deeper into your shoulder. “Come on, let’s get to bed” carrying her to bed and tugging her in before carefully spooning her.

The next morning the actress woke up to an empty bed which made her heart sink. Sighing she decided to waggle her way out of the bedroom. The second you heard the bedroom door you ran towards the room to help the girl into the kitchen. “Good morning angel” you mumbled against her lips as you crushed into her carefully picking her up and spinning her. “What are you doing?” She laughed wrapping her arms around your shoulder. “I’m just really really happy that you’re here” you mumbled before walking with her to the kitchen where you made breakfast.

“You baked a chocolate cake for me?” She nearly screamed from excitement as she saw the cake that said ‘get well soon <3���. “Of course, only the best for the best actress in the world” you grinned as you pulled out a chair for her. “If I was I wouldn’t have these injuries now” she told you playing with her fingers causing you to sigh. “My love, you’re a great actress and you’re one of a very few that does their stunts on their own which is awesome even if you get hurt sometimes alright?” You reassured her kissing her softly. “And now eat something so you can take your painkillers alright?” You mumbled before putting a glass of OJ in front of her.

“How are you feeling?” You asked her a couple of hours later as her head was laying on your lap while both of you read music softly playing in the background. “A bit useless but otherwise I’m fine” you sighed closing your book and laying it onto the coffee table. Your hand went into her hair and that was the moment she knew this was gonna be an uncomfortable conversation for her and this was your way of trying to comfort her during it. “Look, I hate seeing you hurt but I’m kind of happy it happened. You were overworking yourself my love, it’s terrible dangerous and you needed a break. You aren’t being useless or anything, you are being reasonable.” You kissed the top of her head causing her to hum.

“I love you” she mumbled before pulling you down by your neck to kiss you. “I love you too”

I just saw this awesome post about including mobility aids in fantasy writing, and I do not want to create a tangent but I *do* want to share some things I learned about disability in ancient Greece when I was researching that paper I wrote on the Philoctetes, so I am making my own post.

Philoctetes is a mythical figure who was one of the Greek heroes going to the Trojan war. Before they got there, he suffered a wound in the foot which would not heal. The other Greek leaders were unwilling to have the noise of his screams and the stench of the infected wound in their camp, so they abandoned him on a deserted island with only his famous weapon, the Bow of Heracles. He survived there for ten years. Now the war is almost over, Troy has almost fallen, but the Greeks have heard a prophecy: they cannot win until they have the Bow of Heracles. So wily Odysseus and young Neoptolemus (the son of the recently dead Achilles) go to the island where Philoctetes is still living, still dealing with his injury. Philoctetes is eager to escape the island, but can he trust the community that abandoned him ten years ago? Can they ever make right what they did to him?

Now that’s the type of story that someone might very well point to who was arguing that disabled people have to be neglected and excluded in a “historically accurate” story. And it’s definitely not an example of casual inclusion. But what that person would be missing is that Philoctetes’ abandonment and isolation in this play was intended to be shocking to its Athenian audience. The audience is invited to identify with Philoctetes and to be horrified at how he does not receive the support from his community that real-world people with similar disabilities did receive, as we can tell from both textual and archaeological evidence.

Martha L. Rose’s book The Staff of Oedipus: Transforming Disability in Ancient Greece emphasizes this. Look, here’s what I wrote in my paper, why should I rewrite it:

Rose approaches her material “though the lens of disability studies, which approaches the phenomenon of disability by assuming that there is nothing inherently wrong with the disabled body and that the reaction of a society to the disabled body is neither predictable nor immutable” (1). In other words, it is necessary to see what attitudes and assumptions about disabilities are actually recorded, rather than projecting any of our own assumptions. ...

Also unlike today, Greek concepts of disability were not medicalized. “Permanent physical disability,” writes Rose, “was not the concern of doctors in antiquity beyond recognition of incurability” (11). This does not mean that disabled people had no resources or were simply left to perish, of course. Rather, they were often cared for within their households and their communities (28), which means that both Philoctetes’ abandonment and isolation form a shocking exception to the norm. The importance of community support suggests that Philoctetes’ joy at being reunited with humanity comes from practical as well as emotional needs. At the same time, the wide range of tasks and trades in the Greek economy meant that many disabled people were far from economically dependent (think of [the god] Hephaestus the lame smith), so that “[a] physically handicapped person earning a living would not have been a remarkable sight” (39). People unable to walk at all rode donkeys or were carried in litters, while those who walked with difficulty used a staff or a crutch (24-26).

So for writers: the ancient Greeks didn’t invent the wheelchair--but they had the wheel technology (I suspect the issue may have been with roads and pavements instead), so your Greek-inspired fantasy world totally can (which was the point of that earlier post). Or maybe your protagonist goes on their adventures with a faithful donkey sidekick that helps them get around. Maybe they are respected for their skill in a craft, making their home and workshop a lively meeting-place for customers. If you’re writing fantasy, you could be inspired by one of the myths of Hephaestus, in which he creates metal automatons--basically, magic robots--that not only support him as he walks, they also act as assistants in his workshop!

Anyway, the point of this post is basically just that I agree with the other post about including mobility aids in fantasy and I had some relevant knowledge in the back of my head. And also that you should read the Philoctetes. Look, here’s a recent free modern English verse translation: https://johnstoniatexts.x10host.com/sophocles/philocteteshtml.html

Oh, and if you would like to see my term paper or the relevant section from The Staff of Oedipus, message me, I will share them.

Instincts or Recklessness ( Marco x f!reader)

A/N: Here we go! The roulette has spoken again, I also have the failed Enel one in my drafts. Should I spin for a child!reader or a platonic!reader for the next one?

Dividers by @/saradika

The office remains quiet; the only sounds heard being of Marco grabbing different supplies to disinfect and bandage Reader’s injuries

“How many times have I told you to be careful?”

“Don’t worry, barely even fee-OW.”

Marco chuckled before continuing his work

“Even if I put you back together, it won’t do any good if you keep being reckless,” he said, taking a look at the cuts on her tail

“Am not, im always thinking one step ahead!”

“Which is why you’re always covered in bandages?” Marco said with a sarcastic grin

She simply huffs in response

“Im covered in bandages because I’m teaching them a lesson; I get hurt sometimes, but im always the last one standing.”

Marco sighed

“I get it you’re stubborn and won’t back down from a fight, but can’t you be just a little bit less reckless? You’re driving your brothers crazy; you’re our only sister.”

“Relax, I’ve got it handled.”

He stares at her with an unamused star, flickering her ear

“Ow! What kind of doctor hits their patients!”

“One with siblings like you,” he said, clearly not sorry in the slightest.

She glares at him

“I am an awesome sister, thank you very much!”

He rolled his eyes

“You’re an awesome sister who causes constant headaches”

“Gotta keep you on your toes.”

“If you could only keep yourself on your feet,” he said while applying a painkiller gel to the cuts on her tail and bandaging it

“Lean your head down,” he mutters

She dips her head as he applies the same gel on a cut she had on one of her ears

As Marco continued to put the bandages on her ears, his expression softened a little

“Please take care of yourself from now on; reel in those instincts of yours,” he says, not expecting her to listen to him

“Im not just gonna let people push me around. I have to show them that these claws aren’t for show.”

“I’m not asking you to do that, but please try to pick your battles.”

His expression softens, and he looks at her for a few seconds before speaking again

“I know you’re the only girl among us, so you feel like you have to prove yourself all the time, but really… try to be more careful.”

“They always look down on me for being the only girl, not to mention the way I look,” she said, gesturing to her wolverine features

“So, of course, I have to prove the wrong.”

He sighed before shaking his head and finishing bandaging her ear

“I know, but fighting won’t change their attitude… you’re still gonna be the only girl regardless of the scars you have.”

He sighs at her frown

“Tell you what, “I won’t stop you from fighting, but please tell me or one of our brothers next time you’re gonna pick a fight so that we can be there to help, make sure they don’t gang up on you, it’s okay to defend your honor but be smart about it, don’t let them lure you into where they have the advantage.”

“So I can still fight them?”

He chuckles and rolls his eyes

“I said I wouldn’t stop you, didn’t I? So you can still fight them, just do it smart for once, and if you go off in pursuit of one of them, bring one of us along; otherwise deal’s off, and im dragging you here myself, okay?”

“Okay!”

He smiles at her

“Good…”

He gets up and puts a hand on her head and ruffles her ears

“I always knew that under all that pride was a brain,” he said teasingly

“OI”

I was also thinking of doing this same scenario but with Law, what do y’all think? Part 2?”

I've seen your work on Chuuya x Reader, and it's so sweet. Could you do the Chuuya comforting reader who is very afraid of going to the doctor? The reader is stubborn and still doesn't want to go to the doctor, but Chuuya still insists on bringing her to a doctor, and maybe he uses a little bit of force. Thank you.

But I don't wanna go to the doctor! Chuuya x Reader

Masterlist

A/N: God this is old, picked it up like a year after, sorry I swear I'll work on my requests...someday

"This was pretty darn good, wasn't it?" Chuuya said, as you both left the movie theater

"Yeah, I wondered what all the hype was about, and now I know why, the Barbie movie is awesome!" You kept rambling on and on about the movie as you both left the theater.

But as soon as you passed through the door, a cold breeze hit you, surprising you heavily; you did leave the theater quite late after all...

However, Chuuya noticed instantly as you started shivering from the pretty strong wind, and he immediately started giving you his coat.

Except you knew he had an important mission tomorrow, and besides, you were tired of him always looking out for you! He needed to care about himself too!

"No no, it's fine, keep it on, I'll be fine!"

Long story short, you were not.

Yes, you had managed to get him to keep his coat on, which did take him repeatedly calling you stubborn for a while but it was worth it, you could show him wrong and exhibit that you could take care of yourself on your own!

....except you couldn't, and were now stuck in bed as Chuuya stayed home to care for you.

"Please, Chuuya, I swear I'm gonna be okay! Just go to work, I can care for myself..." the reoccuring coughs weren't helping with your credibility, to say the least.

Chuuya sighed, slowly getting tired of your persistance, "I'm taking you to the doctor"

You frowned, your eyes widening as you got more confident in your denial, "What? No...I am not going to the doctor..." You looked down to the floor, not knowing how to convince him. "Just...please...I.. don't wanna go there"

He frowned at your sudden display of panic, worrying "What's wrong with going to the doctor?"

You mumbled under your breath, looking around the floor in order to find something more interesting to dissociate about "This...this is going to sound silly. It's just..I've been afraid of doctors ever since I was a kid and...since I kept avoiding it it just...kept getting stronger"

Chuuya rubbed his eyebrows together, grunting in frustration before picking you up in his arms. "We're going to the doctor, whether you like it or not."

And after a ten minute walk of you complaining and Chuuya stating he won't even let you down because, "you're too sick to walk on your own" you got to the doctor. Instantly, as you noticed you were approaching the institution, your body started shivering on his own, though, Chuuya being here did help in calming you down.

But in the end, as he held your hand throughout all the steps, in the end it wasn't so scary as you thought. And slowly but surely, you finished the check-up, getting diagnosed with a mild cold, the doctor stating that there was no reason to be worried.

"See? I told you it wouldn't be that bad!"

"And I told you it wasn't anything major!"

"Whatever..."

A/N lmao this is so ooc help like all of these paragraphs were written a month apart from one another sorryzzz

[One Shot] JJ Maybank - Forbidden love

PAIRING: dom!jj maybank x fem!reader

SUMMARY: JJ eating you out for the first time during beach night. But JJ is a pogue and you are a kook and that's the only problem.

WARNINGS: smut, kissing, hickeys, oral (receiving)

A/N: so this is my first time writing something like this and also english is my second language so im sorry if I wrote something wrong

..........................................................................................

It was dark outside. You were laying with JJ on the beach alone. You went there to surf and after it you decided to stay for a whole night. You both were a couple for almost one year. He loved you so much as you do.

Your relationship was a secret. Your parents had their own hospital in outer banks so you born as a kook. JJ were a pogue with family issues. And it was the reason why u met.

Two years ago he saw your brother screaming at you and almost hit you. He decided to stop him and yeah it was the moment when he wanted to protects you. You became friends but no one aroud knew it at the beginning. After a few months he introduced you to his friends.

You were so happy. You finally had someone in your life who you loved so much. He was your comfort zone. JJ was the first person who really protected you.

''JJ I want you to know that you are my favorite person and I appreciate everything you do for me'' you said looking into his eyes. He looked at you back and hugged you.

''Y/N you know I love you. I hate that we have to hide us" He was right. It was sick. But you were from two different worlds. You were tired of hiding your relationship.

''We should move out to Miami. " He added and kissed you. You and JJ spend do much time at talking about your future and you planned to move out together somewhere you can life as you should.

"When we end our school I'm ready to do it" you answered to him. He kissed your lips and then started kissing your neck, leaving there hickeys. You were laying under him on the sand in empty beach. He was the first person with which you felt comfortable and you didn't have to act ''perfect doctors' daughter''.

His lips felt amazing. He knew how to do that stuff. JJ put his hands on your hips. He loved your body. You were insecured about so many parts of your body but he literally didnt know why. He found every centimeters of your body perfect.

At the moment when he touched your bikinis bottom he looked at you. Of course you were kissing but that's all. You wasn't ready to do something more and he understood that and he told you he will wait until you were ready.

"Y/N can i? Are you okay?" He asked you. You loved it how much he cared about you. Were you ready? Yes, you were.

"Yeah JJ you can do it" You answered him. He took off your bikinis bottom. It was a middle of the night and everything was dark. You werent feel that much shy and insecure because of it.

''Sweetheart I dont think this is a perfect time and place to do all this stuff because it can hurt you. But im gonna feel you good." he told you kissing your thighs. Hes touch and lips were made you feel incredible. JJ slowly started kissing your clit. He definitely knew what he was doing and how you felt. No one never did this to you.

"JJ-" you sighed. He smiled when felt how good he was doing to you. You never dreamt about being eating by your amazing boyfriend on the beach in the middle of the night. Every minute you felt better and better. You heard about being eating out never thought it can be that good.

"You deserve it" He said when you came. It was feeling unreal. You expected that your boyfriend knew how to make you feel good but this was awesome.

"I love you y/n, you're so pretty" He whisped to you while dressed you in your bikinis bottom and his tshirt. The sky with stars was perfect tonight. Perfect as everything what happend a few minutes ago.

okay so i need to get this off of my chest 😁 giving myself a lunch break trying to have peace and quiet but i'm in a school so i don't have that.

i think something's wrong with me. but nobody can get into a doctor. i mean i have an appointment in september. and i'm so scared. and no one in my life is taking me seriously. not a soul. and like evil eye so i don't want to to talk about it but i'm scared every single day. whatever! could be dying but it's fine! nobody gives a fuck

(also bonus awesome thing about working in a school: every single time i've tried to cry silently in my locked, curtain drawn room, someone comes in. so i can't even have my moment!)

my roommate just texted me saying she can't find her cat and it's just like i am so fucking sick of the crises and all of the work i've had to do for HER pet and it's like all i fucking do is take care of him i feed him and clean his litter box and hang out with them and now i'm getting bombarded with texts about how he must be missing from the house and i'd be lying if i wasn't starting to resent it. like he's not my cat. and just bc you take him to the vet doesn't mean you're the one taking care of him daily. which maybe that is cruel but

oh i hate my body & my weight & since i'm scared i'm dying (could be! could be wouldn't that be a waste of time & suffering) we WERE supposed to go to dinner tonight but i doubt it if her cat is missing which is like. fair. understandable. but i'm upset she's basically blaming me bc i leave the house at 7 something like idk a normal person like i get it you have a different schedule but like if you wake up at like 1 that's like 6 hours. so idk. anyways maybe i just off myself so i'm not dying of some illness, i'm no longer fat, and i don't have to take care of an animal that doesn't belong to me. bc she gets to reap the rewards to having two cats meanwhile they're my problem for the most part. and i love my cat! but i signed up for MY CAT.

oh and tomorrow is the first day of school. so yeah. yeah i have that going on BUT NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME! nobody cares about what's going on in my life. i mean you all lovely women in my phone do. but my dad wants to text me about fucking saunas and here's another fucking thing. i could be dying and nobody cares
