#I’m not going home for the holidays

[mearcatsreturns]

Bought this to do for me (or received as a gift?), but I spent a few hours today working on it to give to my coworker for her birthday!

#I like my coworker so much #and probably would have done something for her for next Friday when we have plans #but my boss got weird and told me I had to bring a gift for her on Wednesday #particularly infuriating because my boss knows that I don’t have funds right now #I’m not going home for the holidays #and I’ve asked a couple people if they mind if we do handmade things instead #but this feels shitty #not the piece. that’s cute #and my coworker also has a black cat she adores so I think this will go over well

I feel like no matter what I’ll disappoint my parents.

Could just be my anxiety, but sometimes I feel like every choice I make is wrong.

And I feel like the more I feel this way, the more I make the wrong choices

#I’m not going home for the holidays #I’m going to Scotland instead #and every day I’m tempted to not come home for summer #but my friends I miss them #and I feel bad I’m not seeing them over the holidays as well #but I don’t want to go home

since merula likes thoughtful gifts I’d like to share my hc that merulas develops a lil baby crush on mc ever since the Christmas sq where mc gifts she the song book

#and it goes downhill from there #I’m just imagining sad angry baby merula spending yet another Xmas alone her parents are in prison #her aunt doesn’t give her the time of day #she has no one to go home to #she doesn’t rly have friends bc well. she’s mean #and so she’s just studying she doesn’t care about this dumb holiday anyways #but she sees mc and their friends having a nice time and there’s a part of her that wants that 😔 #and then mc surprises her with a gift and it’s a songbook bc she likes to sing and it reminds her of her mother #it’s so thoughtful and nice and she can’t believe mc is being nice to her when she’s been terrible to them #and it’s like the first time in a while someone has truly paid attention to her and has seen her #and the lil baby crush starts from there and grows over time she’s doomed #she doesn’t know how to deal with it so she just gets MCs attention in the best way she knows how by bullying them lmao #aaaaand she’s prob in denial for a bit #ok I’m done #I wrote a whole fic in the tags #mella speaks

Between dnp who is the lazy gay and who is the activity gay?

you’re so real for this because i was waiting for them to tell us their opinions but they left us to contemplate on our own.

my consensus is when they’re at home dan is lazy gay and when they’re on holiday dan is activity gay.

dan is very “i don’t wanna go outside” while also being very into living in the moment and doing everything they can while they can, so it likely depends on the situation.

it’s an important dynamic to develop with a partner (or just anyone you’re in a Pair with)—you encourage each other to do things and also learn how to express when you don’t want to do things.

thanks for the ask friend :)

#i am also lazy gay at home and activity gay on holiday #but also i just don’t like going anywhere especially it there are people #there’s so much pressure to do things on holiday and that makes me so stressed to the point that i just don’t go on holiday lahdkshdjs #but with my partner if they get excited to do something and then lose steam about it i’m like “we should totally do it!” #and then we usually have fun or get something out of it #but i will always elect to just not do the thing #i’m very easy to talk out of plans lmao #dnp #yeet my deet #dan and phil #phan #yeet my deenp

[covenofthearticulate]

it’s a christmas miracle my in-person meeting at work got cancelled so i get to stay home today AND it’s storming so hard!!! FINALLY i get to snuggle up in bed and enjoy my favorite weather

#you guys have no idea. it ONLY EVER RAINS on the days i have to go in to work #and i’ve been DYING because i have so much writing muse but no time to write bc by the time i commute home i’m exhausted #i can’t wait to write and just hunker down for the holidays LOL #i feel like i haven’t been on here properly in ages lmfao even though it’s only been like. a week maybe. LMAO

we always talk about how theon should be at the club or renly should be at the club but i think tyrion should be in therapy, this seems obvious but i’m talking about even non extensive, you have mediocre healthcare and can only get a therapist for eight sessions before you reach the edge of their expertise which is mostly just unipolar depression & grief from a grandparent’s death, bc even the world’s shittiest therapist would listen to that man talk and be like “have you ever thought of just going no contact? it doesn’t seem like this is healthy and family clearly doesn’t give a shit. just like, change your number” ya know, and going no contact is a lot easier if you’re a trust fund baby in the 21st century bc he can just use the relatives he still talks to (im assuming gemma and jaime) as references for some high paying nothingburger job, move out, get a new phone, and just never see his dad again. like not for nothing but sometimes just waking up and knowing you never have to see that man’s bitch ass again?? it’s very healing.

#i’m thinking about fatherhood a lot wjsjdjd #i am the first person to point to rosalie kennedy and scream incoherently when people say that being rich completely alleviates prejudice #from disability bc that’s just functionally not and has never been true. but like if tyrion is born in the year 1992 as a trust fund kid? #he’s gonna get to college see the social worker who is gonna be like ‘maybe just don’t go home for the holiday? just find a friend to spend #winter break with?’ and give him some lexapro and he’s gonna be like oh my god. i can just stop talking to my family. #yeah baby you can!!!! you can just leave!!!!!!!!! tyrion just leave pls for the love of god 😔😔 #getting on my soap box

also have 2 dick appointments tomorrow 🫣

#lol I hate myself #the one in the morning just happened tonight because I was on Grindr waiting for other guy to respond #we’ve been chatting and he was free and I was in a mood so I said yes #the one in the afternoon is with a guy I’ve been talking to since before the holidays #we never met up cause he was always too sick and blah blah #but he’s better now and we made these plans earlier this week oop #I’m living my best life in the city you guys #didn’t really realize it till I wrote it out….lol #but also it’s the first time I’m getting this much here and I’m having fun the last few weeks before I go back home #sigh endrant

Y’all I’m moving out of my parents house tomorrow. What the fuck I’ve been dreaming of this for years

#like yeah I lived away from them while I was at college but I came home for months on end during holidays #like I’m taking all of my things out of this house this is the second house I’ve ever lived in. I’ve lived here since I was 4 #and I get to decorate!!!! like more than just a dorm but an entire apartment!!! just wild!! #I will spend the night at my parents house tomorrow night too but that’s just because it’s going to take two days to take everything out #my apartment is an hour away in a different city so it’s really going to feel like I’m on my own 👀 #but it is the same city that I went to college in so it’s not a new city to me thankfully haha #anyways 🥳🥳🥳 get me the fuck out of here

#sometimes I think I’m the only one who always feels the weirdest feelings when she has to sleep away from home #and I probably am for what I know #5pm arrive and I’m 😲🙃😞😭 #I need to go home #I don’t wanna be here #can I go home? #I’m so weird #also I’m on holidays with my family it’s not like I’m alone #but either way I need to be home

This is one of those things that is both actually frustrating and just sort of stupid, but my parents are very very bad at like. visiting. In multiple senses of the phrase but right now I mean mostly just actually coming to visit.

So like my sister has lived in the same city for a decade, owns a home, etc., and my parents visit exactly once a year, and I have lived in the same city for over two years and they have visited once (for 3 days). Which is all kind of frustrating and hurtful because we are pretty close (if dysfunctional) and I’d like to share my life with them—but also at this point, just kind of a background frustration that we’re used to.

EXCEPT then they sometimes try to make up excuses for not coming and it’s all just…absolute bullshit lies. Very very bad lying. Like “oh we wanted to come visit sometime but our schedules…” ma’am you are retired. “Oh we thought about coming to see you in the Nutcracker but we’ll have your sister’s dog…” you are both adults who could handle a dog on your own AND you literally just decided to dog sit like this week while knowing FOR MONTHS that I would be performing and never asking a single question about when it was or tickets or anything.

#i am very probably flying home Christmas Eve and I know my mom’s going to feel Some Type of Way about it #but I’m also a little like #yknow i love you and I make every effort to come see y’all #both for holidays and just to fly for 8 hr to hang out in the middle of nowhere with you #AND we’re all adults #with different priorities that influence our choices #and frankly YOU have been making choices entirely based on what YOU want for years #personal #very much like u made this bed and that’s fine that’s your choice but also that means ur sleeping in it

[cinewhore]

You fuckers thought i was kidding when i said I was gonna have a Christmas tree before October ended.

I wasn’t :)

#plucked one up for twent bucks #i am going to put it up just to check the height to make sure it’s not too tall #but i need to focus on a color scheme for ornaments #I’m not fucking around this year for the holidays #my home will be cozy goddamnit if it’s the last thing I do #now that’s what i call blogging

Looking at apartments online and dreaming about the day I have enough money to move back out of my parents’ house. That day can’t come soon enough.

#helena rants #I love my parents and I adore them for letting me move back in #but I’m going insane and I do not want to be 30 and still live at home #they’re on holiday rn tho #so it’s just me and my sisters #I still have to cook and do their laundry tho

one piece au where instead of being pirates they all met at a boarding school for misfits and create a safe space for each other within the school walls please

#i’m not super far into one piece so walk w me here #garp as the head master please #with shanks as luffy’s guardian when they’re allowed to leave during the summer #luffy rooms with zoro when he gets transferred to the school #zoro is in for always fighting #luffy was placed there by his grandpa who didn’t want him turning out like his father #nami was placed there after she got caught stealing #ussop got in for always lying ofc #sanji also got in for fighting but once he got detention and was placed in the school kitchen with zeff he kinda calmed down #whenever it’s holiday season they all go home with luffy bc he has the least horrendous parental figure #text post #one piece #laop #live action one piece #one piece hcs #idk how old they are

do you ever rewatch one of your favorite shows/films from a particular period of your life and just kinda…hate it?!?

we watched fight club last night and it’s been on my top 10 list since i was like 15 but i haven’t seen it in ages and it just kinda gave me the ick

like i don’t actually hate it because it’s a great film and a great book but it just felt weirdly…personal…and watching it with someone else like that just made me feel…exposed??

it just reminded me of who i was and when i watched it for the first time i literally ate that shit up bc i felt so seen and when i was watching it i just associated every scene with something i remembered thinking/feeling from back then

and also i was 15!!! when i first read the book and saw the film and it’s so easy to be in awe of art about dismantling a culture when you’re still far enough away from it to think you’ll be different! and suddenly you’re 28 and you are living the exact kind of life that it was trying to call out! and you just realise how arrogant you were to think you could be different

but also i do paperwork for british tv as a job it’s literally not that fucking deep

#personal #lol #fight club #all i could think of was the nights i would force myself to stay up till 4/5am #and not being able to cry!! #praying for a crash! so that’s where I got it from #going home in the holidays and just thinking about that airport montage #self destruction is the answer #I’m definitely lying to myself about a lot of things from that time but I’m just not ready!!!
