i’m sorry for all this sappy shit.

quotes [x]

❛ who are you and what the hell have you done with violet?! ❜

he's messing around. but he knows how big this admission has to be for her. because he knows h e r.

❛ seriously, though. don't apologise. you're feeling. which is a very shitty, but very human thing to do. it means you're a person. with an actual, beating heart. who would have thought it? or thunk it? thunk doesn't seem like it's a real word somehow... it isn't. is it? thunk. thunk... ❜

❛ anywho, i always figured you were a gentle soul, vi. well, underneath all those layers of walker blood, sarcasm and bitterness. ❜

❛ don't worry. your secret is safe with me. well, relatively. ❜

Marry Me A Little

There was a sweetness to the courtship of our southern gentleman and his Dr. Nate I keep coming back to so lets tell more of their story.

One night, I’m sitting on the porch, listening to that soft spring rain on the roof, just watching the sun dip down behind the trees. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth and honeysuckle, and I was takin’ my time, whittlin’ on a rattle I been working on for the baby. But Lord, the way this child been kickin’, I was getting a bit ‘fraid I might slice my own thumb clean off, so I set it down, figuring I’ll finish it later when the lil’ one ain’t so rowdy.

I’m sittin’ there in the quiet, letting the sounds of the night wrap around me, when I feel Nate’s weight settle beside me on the porch swing. He don’t say nothin at first, just leans back, and we sway gently with the rhythm of the rain. Then, outta nowhere, he starts in with his talking. At first, it’s the usual—insurance this, taxes that, practical man stuff like I ain't been running my life and everyone else's too for decades. I’m half-listenin’, half-watchin’ the way the raindrops catch the last bit of daylight.

But then he says something that makes my ears perk up. He’s mumblin’ ‘bout makin’ an honest man outta me. I let that roll around in my head a bit, tryin’ to make sure I’m hearin’ him right. So I turn my head and give him a look. “You askin’ to get married?” I ask, just to be sure. And when he nods, all wide-eyed like I just handed him the biggest piece of fried chicken at Sunday dinner, my answer is obvious.

“Ok,” I say, plain as day.

Now, Nate, he just stares at me for a second, like he can’t believe what he’s hearing. For once, the man who’s always got somethin’ to say is speechless. His mouth’s hangin’ open like a hungry guppy, and I reach over and pat his hand, real gentle. “I’m havin’ your baby, ain’t I? Reckon that means we belong to each other. Ain’t nothin’ better than that.”

Lawd, you woulda thought I done told him he won the state fair, the way he started crowing. I swear, the whole neighborhood musta heard him carrying on, laughing like he hit the jackpot. He grabbed me up in that big ol’ hug of his, swingin’ us both back and forth on that porch swing till I thought we might fly right off.

And there we sat, just the two of us, wrapped up in each other, with the rain steady falling around us. That was the night Nate asked me to be his forever, and I said yes, like it was the most natural thing in the world. ‘Cause it was.

My dad gave me a sickass pocket knife from my deceased adopted grandad's stash (he actually gave me a lot now that I've taken up whittling), but I have no reason to carry it on my person so I can't flaunt it. It's doesn't have a locking blade and I'm not good enough at controlling the knife yet to handle a flip knife so it's not good for on-the-go whittlin', even if I did think I could defend myself with a knife without getting hurt (I don't think I could in any imaginable way) the blade is too slow and short to really be used that way, i don't know knife laws in my area very well, and at this point the only time I ever go out anyway is to doctors' offices, hospitals, or government building and I def can't take a knife there.

Have you ever just look at stick and went: That's a nice looking stick

and took it home?

-🪐

Yea, I have. I don't usually keep 'em but they can be neat to hold on to, I get it.

'S not with sticks, but if I find good wood around I might snatch a bite of it up for whittlin'.

[lordrahlprotects]

Who up whittlin' on they wood?

[bloodywickhead]

does a species have to do something to be a servoce pokemon?

No, i’s just th preferred thing from what I gathered from th organisation. Then y have a whole lot o individuals off th bat y know can do th job, it’s whittlin down which ones won’t on command in general or for specific people.

Like take blood sugar sensin pokemon. A ledyba could be fuckin aces at sensin blood sugar levels but tha’s just a ledyba. Every damn slurpuff can do that an i’s th baseline for them. For the slurpuff y gotta find one out of hundreds that fits th trainer. For the ledyba it’s this one or nuthin.

I’m not some authority on this shit ok? Fucked if I know anythin more than th folks runnin th things

WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED A STORY FROM MY OLD DND CAMPAIGN

So there was me, my friend, and two other girls

We were tasked with finding and retrieving a magic pail that never runs out of water for Lord Thumb because the oasis dried up and now there’s no water available for the town

So we venture into the desert (let me just say now that it was only me and my friend up until this point) and find the Temple of Osiris or something (Osiris is the god of the dead/underworld in Egyptian mythology)

And so we go in and we find out that the temple has been taken over by imps worshipping Asmodeus (Asmodeus in this campaign was a giant thing of flesh with eyes and mouthes everywhere [not very lustful if you ask me even if he’s the embodiment of lust-])

When all four of us finally reach the chamber at the bottom of the stairs, we find Asmodeus when my friend tried to HANDCUFF A LITERAL DEMON LORD WITH RUSTY HANDCUFFS WE FOUND ON A DEAD ADVENTURER AND CAMEL WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING (I took rotted food) (also that’s not the funniest part)

After all that we still hadn’t gotten the pail, but Asmodeus got scared by some guy whom called himself the Whittlin’ Man (very important to say whittiln’ not whittling) who was blind but could see(???) and was a fourth wall breaker (when we got the pail he carved one of those funky S’s onto it) and so seeing that we almost got the pail, one of the other girls that were with us at the time decides to try and get Asmodeus to believe that they met before at a BAKE SALE

And when she rolled for persuasion she got a NAT 20 (or at least I believe she did, and if she didn’t oh well it’s funny) and so ASMODEUS THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF LUST AND A DEMON KING believed that him and a random guy met at said random guy’s mom’s bake sale and became best buddies (she later tried to dab him up but got left hanging)

today i cut my finger open while whittlin’ in the back yard and my wife loves me so much she dropped everything she was doing and came with me to the emergency room and waited there the whole time and said that we could go to the beach afterwards and then we did go to the beach.

@familylightfox asked:

It was rare to see Harmony on the back porch, leaning against the railing by herself. Her eyes were watching the clouds in the sky, lost in her own thoughts. At least until her ears turned at the approaching footsteps. Emerald eyes turned and she smiled with a wag of her tail before settling back in. “Buddy had his final exam today so I’m waitin’ for him t’ finish and then we’re goin’ on a hike.” The calm around them was comfortable as the teen tilted her head to one side sheepishly, speaking softly. “Can I ask ya somethin’ nom? When did ya realized ya loved pa and dad?”

[Unprompted. | Accepting!]

Node had just finished a drawing, their hands smudged with pencil lead that had managed to work its way into the fur between their right pads. They grinned lightly as Harmony glanced back their way- their walk remaining at its current speed until they were on the railing beside her- hands moving to rest atop its surface.

It wouldn't surprise Node if Buddy had. The kid had a good head between his shoulders- even if he seemed to lose it when it came to impressing Harmony, specifically. Their tail wagged slightly from side to side- but they left out the teasing comment that had crossed their thoughts. This moment...felt like it could benefit from soft comradery, not playful teasing to their daughter.

One of Node's ears flicked, hazel eyes flickering over to the teen.

"...I'unno...it wasn't any one moment that stood out to me, like a bit in a show where you go 'oh my God, I love this person'...it was just...gradual." Node shrugged their shoulders. "...I realized one day, that Bless and Volt...make me feel safe,...and loved...and then I realized another day, they make my heart flutter...and another, that I wanted to keep them both happy, and safe...and it just slowly snowballed." Node chuckled quietly.

"...but I guess if you want a specific moment...I was just sittin' on the couch, n' your pa was whittlin' away at a block of wood, n' your dad was strumming his guitar...and...I realized, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with them'." A certain sparkle had entered their eyes, even as their vision slowly fell to the garden below. Memories of getting Volt and Bless drinks while they set it all up echoed in their mind- causing them to smile faintly.

"...so...fine, I guess I had that lil' movie-moment, but...it wasn't anythin' big." They grinned lightly, moving their elbow enough to tap Harmony's arm. "Give yourself time. If y'haven't experienced it yet,....I'm sure you will, one day." And they had one guess as to who it'd be about. But-- they'd wait and see.
