i love driving on perilous roads at night when it's just me and my good friend Cars Behind Me

#oh cars behind me... we're really in it now... #the only parasocial relationship i ever feel or indulge in is the bond i have with cars driving behind me on a single lane highway #it was so dramatic and for what... #me leading the procession in the dark and fog and snow with my highbeams on. #them following behind me and taking none of the many chances to pass me when i offer them <3 #following me like lambs to their shepherd through the pitch black woods #WE FORMED A WARRIORS BOND ON THE ROAD THIS NIGHT. #we made it through the mountains Together!!! #the comfort of their warm headlights in my rearviews was Unparalleled #ah... is this what Company feels like... #absolutely unprompted #i. i may be mentally unwell im realizing #< twas a jest! i've known the whole time #ohhhh and its starting to rain real hard... yes... i need this... #AND I STILL HAVE MUCH HAZELNUT MILK TEA LEFT!!! HUZZAH!!!! #its so good. creamy and roasty and nutty. mm. #still next time i'll have to track down a different boba shop that has my favorite milk tea flavor. i miss it!

speaking of ocd, I think I'm realizing that I truly don't have anxiety and it's literally just my ocd. im not anxious about anything until it involves me and suddenly I'm spiraling

#[static] #it's hard to describe succinctly but the anxiety I deal with nowadays is directly related to my ocd and autism #some anxiety is so easy to brush off but the ones stemming from my ocd are extremely difficult to get out from under #i'll spiral for weeks about one specific thing and ruminate on it and mentally worry and pick at it forever #it's utterly exhausting jfkdghdf some days are easier than others #and often that one thing I ruminate on becomes multiple things all stemming from the first thing #like recently it's been my car ... the thing is totally fine ... runs fine drives fine but ive been freaked out by it for the last 3 weeks #every time i go into the shop theyre like ... everything is good in fact its in good condition for its age and they'll mention like #one thing that will need to be replaced to keep it in tip top condition and then my brain will fixate on it and imagine all the ways #something horrific will happen if that doesnt get changed and then that leads to all the other things in the car suddenly freaking me out #i defs used to have general anxiety and depression but those went away literally the day i got top surgery #poof instantly gone it was wild and i kept waiting for the other shoe to drop #never did but now my ocd has been really bad the last 6 months cuz of all the extra horrifying things going on #so i thought it was just my anxiety coming back but this week i realized it was my ocd and have been treating it accordingly #and ive seen some relief but i definitely need to go back to therapy once i get my insurance again #its the only way to get a hold on it and my last therapist ended up moving states so we didnt get to work on tools for it very much #im yapping at this point i just needed to vent for a second about how truly yucky ocd makes me feel

why do the new ferrari fits make them look like they work for shell ...

#this is NOT a safe space for those that like the outfits #hopefully the car doesn't also look like they got it from a costume shop last-minute fingers crossed #how did they take two of the finest men alive rn and do THAT to them. who okayed this. i just wanna talk #the POTENTIAL they had too..... like blue fucks so hard (see: old mclaren race suits) and YET.... #charles leclerc #carlos sainz #ferrari

a bit late to the driving discussion but i cant even imagine the amount of road rage mine experiences everyday, i think being in a car with him would be terrifying

let me play contrarian and say the real stress of being in the same car as mine is that he probably does 80 in a 60 mph zone while talking on the phone

#snap chats #aka me 🥴 just the speeding part no one ever calls me <3 #no but LISTEN you mean to tell me he drives a sports car and doesn't rev that bitch down the highway. yes he does #there's a bunch of jackasses in my area with sports cars and they ALWAAYS have to make everyone know theyre driving one #WE GET IT YOUR PENIS IS SMALL STOP REVVING THE SHIT IN A SCHOOL ZONE #if anyone's getting road rage it's cause this motherfucker whipping and weaving. i do not believe he uses turn signals #i don't think he's a blinker user NO THAT'S ONE OF THE TESTS OF HUMANITY LOWKEY TO BE OFF TOPIC #there's putting the shopping cart back after using it and whether you use your blinkers or not #i dont think mine uses his just cause he's goin so fuckin fast so why bother #myyyyy god i was driving yesterday and the amount of jackasses that Do Not. Use Blinkers. killing you immediately #FUCK WHAT PART OF THE US JUST NEVER USES BLINKERS I FORGET. SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH I THINK CAUSE OFC #point is use your blinkers it helps everyone including yourself it is NOT HARD

good GOD this trip. I have loved the scenery and the hikes we have been on, but my family is about to drive me bonkers.

#literally none of them are capable of making a single fucking decision without debating it for hours #and none of them communicate clearly so there is an insane amount of confusion #and we have done next to nothing because they cannot do anything in a reasonable time frame #like we were supposed to leave at 8:30 this morning and we didn't leave until 9:15 #and then we got to the hike spot and my mom lost her glasses and instead of checking under her fucking seat #we had to spend a good half hour looking for them... guess where they were #and then we spent 10 minutes debating if we were going to do the hike we had already Fucking PICKED #and then my mom passed out halfway through the hike which is not her fault and I'm not upset about at all #but we decided to not do the rest of the hike and instead go to the town and look at the artist shops #which was totally good with me except we got there and they all decided they didn't want to look at the shops!!!!!!!!! #yes they were mostly galleries of art we can't afford but they were cool to look at #but nope. spent idk an hour wandering around OUTSIDE THE STORES #we did get the best chai I've ever had tho at a little shop there DELICIOUS #and then they were like beginning the dinner debate and I decided I was fucking done #so I just picked a place and said we are eating here and called and made a reservation and told them to get in the fucking car #like I Get It. it can be hard to pick things but at some point SOMEONE has to make a choice #we can't stand around going 'idk whatever you want' 'i'm okay with anything' 'what did you say?' 'did we decide?' ALL THE TIME #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

listen alright you just gotta have that 1 interesting person in your life who you never really directly cross paths with but who is still a part of your life via proximity and who you get really excited about seeing from a distance. it's enriching. it makes life a little more magical. like something out of an art film or a children's book.

#theres actually a couple different distinct people in my city who i'm normally on the lookout for bc the exoplanets of our personal #universes pass each others orbits now and then. but this post specifically is about the zine circulating local anarchist. yes him again. #other people in my city who this post could apply to: #thanos car guy who works at that 1 restaurant #the lady who i frequently overhear talking about how its hard to get a job with a degree in film analysis #the vintage shop lady + the record store guy #the gay dude who i run into now and then in that specific part of town who says i look like a 1920s model #our paths cross just frequently enough that i think about them and maybe they think about me but yet we are all still strangers

Nah here’s a little bit of shit that would happen in the short king bakugou house

Bakugou would be in the middle of a little meeting with a few other hero’s discussing the villain take down that just happened a few days ago and he keeps hearing his cell phone go off. He would ignore it and just put it on silent but it keeps lighting up and before he knows it his office phone is ringing. It has to be important if it’s wENT OFF 10 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF 5 minutes. When he looks down it’s his only boy callin his phone.

“What do you want son I’m in the middle of a meeting”

“Aye pops, ma and you got some good ass toliet paper in y’all’s bathroom-“

“- what did I tell you about saying ass, your ma gonna get mine and your ass if she catches-“

He would go silent for a second and then his face would do that ugly ahh scrunched up face parents do when they are getting on to you in public.

“If you don’t get your ugly ass out of my damn bathroom, now I done told you to stop going in there when I’m not home-“

“This shit nice tho fr pa, real comfortable and elegant. Ma did good decorating in here. Aye you think mama still got that good smelling shit she got you for Christmas- that perfume shit. We runnin a bit on the low side on the air freshener”

Then two would literally be arguing and deku and todoroki is just staring at him like what is going on.

Or stuff like bakugou in his at home office signing some papers and his son comes in with his phone on his forehead with the flash recording him and asking him dumb questions and bakugou has the “😒😔” expression like- “what the hell you want, son. I’m clearly busy”

“Damn pop you be smellin like you haven’t bathed why your ass smellin like that?? Ma gonna send you through a car wash if she smells you like that”

“You would know cause you use the same shit I do, brat. Always going through my shit- you act like you don’t got your own bathroom! Your own room!”

“I like your shit pops- you be getting all them women with that shit fr fr”

Y’all’s son and bakugou are like father like son fr fr cause they don’t know personal space. He will always be all up on bakugou 24/7 and your son takes after his mamas height so he’s taller and a bit heavier than bakugou. He’s always telling him to get his fatass off of him. They literally can be on the couch and next thing you know his son is leaning on him or bothering him in some type of way and bakugou just acts like everything’s fine.

He won’t ever do it to his mama tho, he knows she doesn’t play. None of the kids do it hell bakugou don’t do it. Surprisingly I see their mama being the strict one and bakugou kind of being the fun dad who is always throwing them around and talking so “MEAN” to them. Bakugou is always warning them he gonna tell their mama if they don’t leave him alone. If bakugou ever gets onto them they will immediately go back to their mama which makes you laugh but make bakugou SO FRUSTRATED LIKE DAMN WAS IT THAT SERIOUS??

Y’all’s house is so fucking big cause y’all have so many kids. Even if some of y’all’s kids go off to college they will always soME HOW be in the house eating out of y’all’s fridge. Bakugou will purposely make a bunch of food even if most of them move out cause he knows them little bastards come into the house when him and his wife are gone and just steal a bunch of food and will EVEN SHOW IT AND BRAG ON THE RING DOOR BELLS OR THE CAMERAS IN THE HOUSE. the will get real close up to the camera and brag about how much shit they stole or that they gonna need some more of SOMETHINT cause they took it all or they will do a little dance HELL EVEN FART OR BURP IN THE CAMERA CAUSE THEY FIND JT SO FUNNY AND YOU JUST GLARE AT BAKUFOJ LIKE WHERE DID THESE KIDS GET THIS FROM

(missing paragraph of me screaming)

Like son not just calling but FaceTiming him to SHOW him posing in your bathroom. Taking a tour of everything and using your hand soap on camera to make bakugo even angrier JRHSIDJKDBFKD. Propping the camera up to dance and shit and bakugo is incapable of hanging up😭😭😭 and having to hide his razors so his son doesn’t start breaking them when he doesn’t even need them. 

and bakugo not realizing his son and him are so alike🥺🥺😢😢 little old men together struggling to change the TV channel or something, sitting buttcheek to buttcheek together all confused w the exact same expression on and needing to call one of the girls to help them figure it out. They fight so much but deep down they’re really so similar and they’re touchy YESSS. Together and with you. get mad about the same things, like when a hero messes up on TV or the store is out of their fave brand of rice dhfjaskdjf🥺

AND I LOVE STRICT MOM AND FUN DAD BAKUGO… like he tries so hard to keep things in order but he’s so bad at it bc he doesn’t feel like his own mom. he just can’t. Mitsuki is so glad ur around to keep her grandkids in check but ajfhskjdj it fits so perfectly to think about him being the lazy dad with all your kids surrounding him watching tv and eating your special mom snacks cuz he’s already mean to villains all day.

(He’s like: “everyone gets one handful. One.” And then the whole bag is gone CLOWNNNNN) rjjfkfk and him being nervous when they snitch on him even tho WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO LIKE ???. Like you said, you’re just laughing and bakugo is honestly surprised like. You’re not gonna bust his butt for getting snappy? NO

(tho seriously king, why are u letting ur own children turn u into a child???) 

ARGHSGSHEHIDGEJEBR THO everything here took me out AND I just wanna eat this. I’m sorry my thoughts are so incoherent but this literally deserved it’s own post FR LIKE IM JUST SO GIGGLY OVER THIS this household is such a PARTY LOL but it seems so nice, too. Probably even end up with 2-3 kids you didn’t actually birth too. Kids friends in rough circumstances or something and bakugo hardly even notices. Just yells at them to clean the spilt soda (he’s long since given up on trying to stop them from drinking) in the fridge too $5$2@4$&3&4)28475&: I LOVED THIS THANK YOU ANONNNNNNN❤️🧡🧡🧡❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚

(Also how much money are we putting on one of your kids flashing their bare butt to the camera? Seems like a bakugo activity to me LMAOOO and you know he’s constantly checking the tape too🥺😩😩)

#bakugo #dad bakugo #AGHHWJRIWIRHKSURIROOFBRHRIR #sorry my response needed to be hidden so people could appreciate this #as it #bc it’s PERFECT #reminds me so much of one of my students today #who told me I didn’t deserve a donut bc I don’t work hard abrhskhfkd #it went exactly like this too so ofc it was just funny and sweet #but it made me think of him bc he’s a nice kid ANYWAYSHOTNRKWHFMDHDJF #I LLVED THIS PLEASE LIKE ALL OF IT LIKE THE PHONECALL HUST BEING SO USELESS #and son looking like you too 🥺🥺 like bakugo but taller and meatier and it’s honestly scary #they grocery shop and cook together and it’s scary cuz bakugo is already scary #and then ur son turns around with that smile you know of the cat being threatened with knives and he’s a head taller #CHRIST!!!!!!!!!! #but also hella safe too bc they’re heroes and so good and are just buying dinner for the night #WAHHH AND THE CHRISTMAS SOAP LMAOOOO #THE CAR WASH TOO AND THE LADIES RHEUORKR #fave #anon thoughts #caitie things #anon #kids tw

[andragoras-in-vanity]

woke up from a wonky dream, im starting to forget it but basically the message i was left with by some russian tarot cards and a creepy photo of some child on halloween was 'do not yearn for luxury ' and like..

bitch????? the fuck was that for you wole me up feeling like i was having a heart attack and showed a demonic thrift store and a sky the colour of ash and fire then tell me not to want a nicer life???? rude af ngl.

#there was also a white i played with and the tarot card broke into pieces of a wooden block #the old lady at the shop told me to keep a piece after it broke and she had translated that message #so i tried to even thought it felt Wrong #then i went outside to my gramas car which wasnt where it was left and a very ominoud sky #mud as though the grown was thawing and a murder of crows and just the worst feeling like soemthing bad was going to happen to that white #dog or maybe had before i had even actually met it (like it died and i was playing with a ghost dog) #so i apologized and chucked the piece of wooden tarot cards as far as i could and woke up with that line ringing in my head #and thinking what the actual fuck #i feel unwell now #from my heart beating so hard

the eternal question: is scheduling w friends as an adult That Hard or am I just bad at it

#4 different people have left me on read today; 1 cancelled our plans 4 hours before we were due to meet #I've been sitting home alone for 2 days going insane. looking forward to One (1) coffee date & that fell through #idk why I'm taking it so hard this time I'm usually fine!! but I find myself wishing I didn't have the day off I wish I did have work :( #like it's tiring yeah but it beats sitting here not knowing what to do w myself #& I'm working all weekend & only leaving the house to see the doctor. oh joy #I've been productive ironing writing fixing the car. that's not the problem #I had 4 social plans this month. that's it #that's like seeing each friend once a month!! I can't keep this up!! #is this the norm for adulthood? :( #& on one level I don't want to bother people or be clingy #but on another level I'm baffled that they don't get lonely too #the news has not shut up abt the Loneliness Epidemic since 2021 #but if it's true why do so many people take so long to reply when I reach out? if they reply at all #I'm not going anywhere w this. idk #just one of those days #everything so fuck everybody suck :( #boomers got it right w the whole showing up unannounced at people's houses for a social call with a pound cake #now I have to go through 5 layers of bureaucratic bullshit to see a friend #assuming they don't cancel the day of ofc (((((: #I just wanna be like hello knock knock I am here. tell me abt yr life today & listen to mine & eat this cake #& the worst is when people are like 'I'm cancelling bc I'm tired xx' #OK A) u knew we had these plans for two weeks #but B) I'm tired too! I still love u ur still my friend! let us be tired together! #'I won't be social today I'm tired' my love we could watch movies in silence we could knit we could ball yr socks. idc #'I have to do the big shop today sorry' so do I!!! let us do the groceries together!!! #every time I've pushed someone to come out when they felt depressed or to let me accompany them when they were doing chores #they were like u know what I'm so glad u did this. thank u. this is way better than how I had planned this night to go #& I'm like any time!! I love u!! #& then it just happens all over again next time oh sorry I'm cancelling I'm busy I'm tired #like did u forget what a nice time we had last time? what changed? :(

#music #pet shop boys #very is coming dangerously close to surpassing behaviour as my favorite psb album uh oh #i just can’t stop listening to it sorry it goes hard in the car #Spotify

[femmesandhoney]

me chanting to myself just remember ur gonna get paid and help a single mom out when she asks me to stay way later while she takes her car into the shop bc ik imma be a bit moody and tired by that point but anything to help her 😭

#shes too nice and works too hard for me to be like uh no 😅 #she wants her daughter to be able to keep swimming and not have to drag her to the boring car shop lol hence her asking

[wolfywolfy]

I'm obsessed with Modern!AU Astarion not being able to drive. He just has to be driven everywhere. Passenger princess to the extreme. He COULD learn, but why when you can just drive him wherever he needs to go??

#you finally convince him to let you teach him #and he gets behind the wheel in an empty parking lot and somehow almost kills you both #hes just screaming #white knuckled on the steering wheel #hitting the gas and brake pedals WAY too hard #trying to use both feet (even tho ur car is automatic) #he would call the shift a prindle and would be completely genuine #*redraws the scene from suite life* #would you like AMMMM or FMMMMM?? #anyways #every little receptical in your car is his now #glove box? filled with his things #sunglasses holder? for his sunglasses #that little compartment between the front seats? all his shit #he makes you take him to a coffee shop before you do anything #even if youre running late #he is insufferable #astarion #bg3 #astarion ancunin #baldurs gate #baldurs gate 3

Every year at this time I am forced to reckon with the fact that gift giving and card writing are NOT my love languages or ways I show affection and tbqh I am Very Bad at them and it's STRESSFUL because we have a socially instituted obligation to be good at this and do it annually and I'm like. I can't buy things for ppl unless you give me explicit instructions about what you want. I am SO bad at this. Please just tell me I don't want to have to cop out and get a gift card. My brain operates on literal specific instructions for gifts only. I very RARELY actually come up with good gift ideas on my own and I'm just....struggling and stressed....I would much rather bake or cook or knit or whatever for someone BC at least that's like. A tangible sign of my love. Everyone is so picky about STUFF I live in paralyzing indecision and fear about gift giving.

#ik ik it's abt the thought not the gift itself #but i like either really hyperspecific to my interests or practical gifts #and i find those hard to buy for others #franposting #anyway yeah the only gift ive bought so far is for grad school friends (easy preorder of9th house bk 2) #and for my father (he wanted A Car Thing and it was simple enough even gor my dumb ass to find) #EVERYONE ELSE??? hell hell death and destruction #despite my tendency to ramble i am a tactile affection and acts of service bitch #FOOD and company is theeee love language #im just????? LEGITIMATELY LOSING SLEEP ABT THIS #not to mention actually GOING shopping when im exhausted constantly bc i hate amazon

screaming in the club

time for another vent in tags

#so i was joking and i thought it came through but im also dumb and autistic and my jokes dont always cross. sO #i was joking about one of my roomates not seeing Nightmare Before Christmas before bc i was showing 2 of them my picture vinyl of it and whe #n one of them said they never saw it i said “but you were a loser on tumblr in the 2010s wdym” and their fiance was just rude to me and i th #ought it was clearly a joke but ig not and they lowley attacked me for it? im just?? i tried to clarify that i was joking and they know im a #utistic. hell the one i was joking to is also autistic but idk so now i feel like utter shit especially after all i did today thst juet drai #ned me. ive been trying to fix our 2nd shower. i had a meeting. i had an extremely hard therapy session. and i showered today. its been hell #like i am trying to get thru relapsing on SH and my ED and ofc they dont know but that shit made it worse and i dont want to say anything bc #then ill feel like im guilt tripping? idk but im also super nervous about a HRT appmt i have coming up and i cant afford it and we have no #food in the house i can eat rn and no one has gone shopping. i cant go shopping either bc i cant drive/dont have a car. and its making it #harder to help get back on track with eating when theres nothing for me to eat? so everything is fucking amazing right now. #the only meals i could POSSIBLY have and all claimed by the one roommate i was joking with. it all takes up half our freezer too so thats #fucking awesome. all this food for one person and none that i can eat or the other vegan in the house can eat. i have been hungry for DAYS. #all there has been for me to eat is cup ramen and grilled cheese. AND SOMEONE WHO WASNT FUCKING VEGAN ATE ALL THE VEGAN CHEESE IM GENUINELY #SO PISSED OFF? like dude yall have your own cheese wtf #the thing is its already really hard for me to tell when i am actually hungry bc of years of ignoring it so when i actually feel it and ther #es nothing it really gets to me. im so tired and idek where my EBT card is to get myself something. its all just so much. #i just want to lay in my bed and sleep for days. but i cant. i have too much shit to do. like even just tomorrow i have to clean the #bathroom. mop the kitchen. do dishes. shovel snow. and just generally take.care of shit because since we have 2 roomates MIA right now and #no one else wanted to do shit i had to step up and i am STRUGGLING. i have been for a while. the thing is everyone that didnt sign up for sh #it didnt have much going on besides probable seasonal depression #i relapsed. have debilitating mental health. i can barely get out of bed before 4 pm. and i have to take care of myself and my cat. #im so close to snapping on them at this point #i need the one roommate i actually like to come back or i swear i will lose my shit. hes only been gone for 6 days but HOLY SHIT #everything has gone to shit #vent over ig im going to sleep soon. still hungry if i cant find something.
