I don't think I could love you so much

if you had nothing to complain of

and nothing to regret.

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled.

Their virtue is lifeless and of little value.

Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.

Finding home

Iruma clenched his fist. This was wrong it couldn't be right. His parents weren't here, and nobody was abandoning him. He took a deep breath. No, those weren't his parents they hadn't been for a long time.

What was it you always did to calm down? You who always made him feel safe and secure. You would sing out loud and chase the nightmares away. Maybe he could try?

♧All of my life, I'd have died to meet you~♧ He thought about wanting love and acceptance. ♧Thought about your name so much it hurts.♧ The pain he felt whenever they showed up only to demand more from him.

♧For many years, I dreamt of how I'd greet you.♧ How he dreamt of his parents finally acting like a real family with him. Taking a chance, he glanced up and saw you now in front of him. That warm smile and arms open wide.

Tears swelled in his eyes. ♧Oh, and now you're here...♧ The perfect parent. The one he always wished for. ♧I can't find the words.♧ He swallowed hard. He cried out, hoping maybe you'd actually hear him.

♧All of my life I'd died to know you~ Days and nights I wish that I could show you. For many years, I waited, I never could out grow you. Oh and now you're here...♧

He had waited. Every day, he felt like he was waiting until he met you. He was so glad that you existed. The tears fell freely down his face as more thoughts overwhelmed him.

♧I can't wonder what your world must be, if we're like each other, if I have your strength in me.♧ He wished he was like you. He wanted so much to be like you. To stand tall and proud and face the world.

He rose on shaking legs and rubbed the tears away. He softly whispered the next part. ♧I can't help but feel like sorrows all I've known, and I can't help but realize for so long, I've felt alone.♧

*you*

Your son needed to know how much you loved and appreciated him. Right now. Marching over to the speakers, you pushed kalego out of the way and jammed you finger onto the button.

☆Oh, my son, look how much you've grown! Oh my boy! Sweetest joy I've known!☆ And he had grown. That thin child now a healthy weight. His cheeks chubby show how well he was fed now. No more starving days. The sweetest child in existence you held as your own.

☆Seems like not that long ago I held you in my arms! Oh, how time has flown oh~☆ Time did seem to move faster here. Iruma had made so many strides.

☆I will make the storm clouds cry for you, I will capture wind and sky for you! Hold you in my arms, prepared to die for you! Oh, how time has flown!☆

You would do anything for that child. Sacrifice everything for him. Because he was yours. Maybe not by flesh and blood. But nobody could deny that he was yours.

☆I could only wonder what your world has been, things you have suffered, and the strength you hold within.☆ You could almost see him in front of you. That fake I'm fine smile compared to the genuine one he held now. You hoped he never lost that smile again.

☆All I've ever wanted was to have someone to call my own. Many years we have wandered, but today, you are not alone. My son, you and I are home~☆

Your last words echoing as a rumble occurred. Somehow, your son was reenacting Jack and the beanstalk. You giggled as he waved at the camera, both of you shouting out. ♧☆YOU AND I ARE HOME~♧☆

Novelty {prev/next - chrono} 

Elijah walks up to his brother, clearly antsy to talk.  

Elijah:  Hey, how are you and the girls? Toni doing alright?

Isaiah: We’re all great, the band hiatus has been good for the family. But of course, you could have asked that over the phone as you usually do. 

Elijah: (jokingly) What? I can’t just come see my big brother and his family anymore?

Isaiah: You can, but you only show up unannounced when something is wrong. I’m guessing you read Lilith’s book.

Elijah’s half smile drops. 

Elijah: Have you?

Isaiah:  She gave me an advanced copy months ago. I don’t know why all of you think of me as this wise old man. *chuckles* I told her she was going to upset a few people, but of course, that never has stopped Lilith from doing something she wanted.

Elijah: (angrily) So you know what that asshole Hugh did, both to her and Ayla?

Isaiah sighs, knowing his brothers infatuation with Lilith always put him and Hugh at odds.  Tonight would be a long one. 

Isaiah: I’ve known long before the book. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out.

Elijah huffs, of course his brother knew.  He always knew everything. 

Isaiah: What would you have suggested I done? It’s not my business to tell. I’m guessing you wanted me to talk to the label and have him removed from the group?

Elijah: Yes! Why are you always protecting him?!?

Don’t Shoot | Nate & Chris

Running late! Sorry!!! Just let yourself in. 

Nate’s old flip phone buzzed with the message from Emma Wilson. He had a spare key that had been given to him by the Wilson girls one summer  when one of the trees out back had blown into the second story window and Nate had gone up and replaced it himself. They told him he should just keep it after he continued to help them with repairs around the house when Chris and Theo were both out of town. (Not that the girls were completely helpless in that area, either, Chris had definitely shown them how to keep the house up).

When they needed something major done, Nick often intercepted and helped (without their knowledge) a lot with the cost. Nate doubted Chris had any idea that a vampire and a werewolf duo had done so much to help his sisters both in this and just staying safe, in general, but Nate was still a little frustrated that, after all of this time, there was still a visible edge that hung around Chris whenever they came across one another.

Nate had let himself in through the back door and when he turned the corner into the kitchen, there was someone pointing a gun on him. 

Chris Wilson was back home. 

“Hey, it’s just me!” Nate said, his hands up defensively. This was not the first time Chris had pulled a gun on him and, quite frankly, he doubted it would be the last. “Sorry, I didn’t know anyone was here.” He had to give this one to Chris, he supposed lurking around in the empty Wilson house was a tad bit suspect. “Emma’s on her way.” He explained. 

Chris still hadn’t put away the gun. 

He slowly pulled the spare key out from his pocket and slide it across the kitchen counter towards Chris. “Figured you would feel better if I didn’t have this.” He paused, “Actually, we might both feel better. I might not be so lucky next time, huh?” 

He tried to crack a joke to lighten the mood, but Chris wasn’t laughing.

It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me

#tbh i doubt most of these people even have offers to scab. so they're REALLY just fucking themselves here. #like this doesn't even apply to me cuz it's not like I'm on anyone's radar at this point but good lord #do you wanna make rent in six months? five years from now? don't undermine the guild and dont shoot yourself in the foot! oh my god! #edited to make it more clear in the post that SCABBING IS A SHIT MOVE NOT JUST CUZ ITLL GET YOU PERSONALLY BLACKLISTED

arthur is rude to that one sex worker because the guys are fucking around as they oughtn't be and he actively wants the source of their distraction to go away. that is how he operates through the entire game: deliberate, utilitarian intimidation and strategic unpleasantness to achieve a goal. it is an early game commentary on arthur meant to position him as a big dog that barks. it is not a commentary on his views about women which are clarified many times afterward. you guys realize that right

#arthur morgan #rdr2 #redmeta #this is one of the most wildly misinterpreted but also most obvious scenes where writers are teaching us how arthur moves through the world #i really don't mean to seem short here #i am just exhausted of reddit mentality low literacy “ARTHUR WOULD SHOOT U IN THE FACE FOR FUN HE HATES WOMEN AND SLUTS” takes #my mistake was imagining a world where your average man online could intellectualize about narrative art #unless it is spoonfed to them on a shotty slug that says I'M STRAIGHT BUT I'D LET [MASC CHARACTER] FUCK ME

"'hands up' (2018) presents a complex message. his subject's hand gesture suggest she's striking a pose, expressing joy, or maybe even dancing. at the same time, her positioning could be defensive stance, with the title directly referencing the 'hands up, don't shoot' phrase and gesture brought about by the injustice, trauma, and death faced by black people interacting with police" ... victoria l. valentine

Moshang AU where Airplane transmigrates into a demon NPC from one of the fanservice clans he created, rather than into Shang Qinghua.

So basically, there was a point in time where a lot of PIDW chapters were just Luo Binghe running around propelled by political plots and rebellions from the demon kingdoms, and most of that actually just ended up being Luo Binghe collecting wives with cute animal ears and tails and various abilities that Airplane used all of once and then completely forgot about. They covered the usual bases of the sexy cat girls, sexy fox girls, sexy bunny girls, sexy bird girls with wings, etc, before moving into more, erm, niche animal hybrid demon territory.

Which is all a roundabout way of explaining Cute Hamster Boy Shang Qinghua in his faithful-to-canon clan of Hamster Demons, whose primary skills include cute squeaking noises and digging abilities.

In the process of making his braindead written-in-a-panic-at-3-am "world building" on this front actually function in a real version of the setting, there has got to be a way for the otherwise-unremarkable fanservice demon tribes to actually survive the incredibly hostile environment which Airplane otherwise described, though. Like yeah sure when you're writing a book you can just say in one breath that the demon realms are incredibly brutal and cutthroat, and then in the next that this tribe of bunny girls with no visible skills at self-defense has existed here for thousands of years, but if you actually tried to set that up in some kind of a simulation the bunny girls wouldn't last one year, let alone one thousand.

In that case of Airplane's hamster tribe, their digging skills are so supernaturally prodigious that they are able to construct massive underground fortifications in otherwise hostile terrain. But that still doesn't solve all of their problems, because they still need to acquire food, and for that they mostly do have to go up to the surface. Some of their weakness is mitigated by sheer numbers -- they have a lot of kids to offset the high mortality rate. However, to further increase the survival rates, the hamster demons also try and make contracts with some of the local liege lords or ruling clans whenever they expand into a new territory. In exchange for protection, they send some of their extraneous family members out as servants, to either cement alliances through marriage (that high fertility is helpful and was indeed the crux of Wife #whatever's acquisition in canon) or to work as diggers or even high-level architects.

As the like, twelfth son of the Hamster Demon chieftain, this is Airplane's fate. On the one hand he's highly positioned enough to get an education, and his plot knowledge helps a lot. On the other hand, he's not high enough in the hierarchy to be kept around, so it's either go work for some other clan or else risk his neck doing missions on the hostile and deadly surface. Neither seems great, but Airplane would rather try his luck as a sycophant than a warrior.

Luckily (or unluckily, depending on his mood when he thinks about it) when Airplane reaches sixteen years of age, it's around the same time that the Hamster clan's tunnels have expanded towards the Northern Desert. Airplane ends up being part of the "hiii~ pleasedon'tkillus let's be friends~" tribute to Mobei Jun's father.

Mobei Jun's father tosses him to Mobei Jun, so Airplane dutifully latches onto him in order to avoid being eaten by any of the other retainers. Airplane has been educated in various subterranean building skills and is under the impression that he's been given to MBJ in order to build him his own palace or something?

Everyone else assumes that the Hamster demon is a concubine.

Mobei Jun also thinks that's what he's been given, but he's too busy bristling in teenage offense at being given a concubine by his father to actually consider taking Airplane to bed. So when Airplane starts doing other things for him, he just sort of bemusedly lets it happen.

Gradually it becomes apparent that Airplane himself isn't interested in being a concubine. No. Clearly, this Hamster is gunning for future empress of the Northern Desert! How else would one explain all the lengths he's going to not only to win Mobei Jun's favor, but to secure his position and ensure his future rule? The system also wants Airplane to ensure the Abyss plot arc happens in the future, too, which means Airplane helps Mobei Jun win and instigate conflicts against the righteous cultivation sects too.

Obviously, Airplane wants power. Mobei Jun knows that if he gets an heir off of Airplane that will be that, the wily minx will use any children to secure his position, and MBJ is not convinced he could control himself well enough to prevent that sort of eventually. Airplane is fiendishly attractive, and he clearly knows it, and Mobei Jun is not sure if he wants to accept what increasingly seems to be the inevitable. He won't be a ladder for someone else's ambitions! But... as long as Airplane remains loyal to him, he will consider it. Even if Airplane never harbors any true affection for him, and simply considers him a means to an end. If, by the time he ascends the Hamster has not betrayed him or tried to elevate himself by flipping over this uncle's side, or seduced any of his other relatives or any of the highly-placed lords all salivating to steal MBJ's would-be empress, then Mobei Jun will grant his wish and make him the second most powerful demon in the North.

Airplane, meanwhile, just wants a snack and a nap. Maybe if he builds a secure enough fortress and amasses enough of an intelligence network and hoards a few advantages for himself, and figures out how to stop pissing off MBJ, he'll survive long enough to retire. Somehow.

some nurses I work with and get patients from give me the impression that they think a patient is opioid addicted and they need to be weaned off, and like even if that is the case 1) I'm not a addiction specialist, I'm their night nurse and their doctors have prescribed pain medication to be available to them, 2) day nurses I think can be more flippant about pain at times because during the day you have things that can distract you while at night, all you get to do is lie in bed and think about how much pain you're in, 3) I don't think a hospital stay for like heart failure is the best time to detox someone, 4) pain is incredibly subjective and I trust patients who've been living in their body for their whole lives more than I trust myself who has been talking to them about their body for five minutes, and 5) some nurses will be like "I don't offer pain medication unless the patient asks for it" and then the patient will ask for it and then it's all "this patient requested pain meds..... drug seeking behavior" like okay wtf are they supposed to do then? Stoically cry one tear down their cheek when I come to check on them so I can benevolently grant them 5 mg of oxy? 6) enduring pain doesn't make people better people, it actually makes people angry and tired and sad, so good luck building your therapeutic rapport while you make them beg for pain medication, maybe all your patients wouldn't be so mean to you if they weren't all suffering the entire time you're responsible for them, 7) if you aren't gonna give opioids and you're also not gonna page the doc for other meds and you're not gonna get ice packs and you're not gonna reposition your patient and you're not gonna ambulate them when they say that helps their hips and you're not gonna talk to them for a while to distract them and you're not gonna get them a jello cup to eat if they want, then literally how are you better than a little roomba with a med cup full of Lipitor scooting into their room?

I'm aware of the risks of opioids, I don't give them when it isn't safe or indicated, and I'm also aware that opioids aren't even good for all types of pain, but they can be an absolute gift to patients who need them. They aren't inherently evil. We don't have to make people suffer to improve their character. Even if suffering did that (it doesn't), improving character is outside my scope of practice. Here's some morphine.

#don't even get me STARTED on people who are STINGY WITH PAIN MEDS for END OF LIFE PATIENTS #JEEZ I SURE HOPE THIS PATIENT IS GONNA BE DEAD IN A DAY DOESN'T GET ADDICTED TO THE MORPHINE I'M SHOOTING INTO THEIR LIMP MOUTHS

every time I read about this Disney vs DeSantis thing and the bit about how the agreement doesn't end “until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England" all I can think about is some bumbling caper where the Florida government repeatedly tries to assassinate the entire royal family just to spite Disney

#ron desantis #desantis #disney #disney vs desantis #royal family #king charles 3rd #royalty #king charles the third #current events #florida #for the purposes of this bit the Florida Republican's primary weapon is gators #trained gator snipers on every roof top #are those snipers who shoot out gators or gators that are snipers? you decide #would you not you pay to see a movie where a Florida gator chases King Charles through the palace? #you would #don't lie #anyway is Disney evil in many ways? yes #am I also hoping Disney DESTROYS DeSantis in this? also yes #king of england

Fine line

Okay so we all know pre-reveal but already adopted Danny would question his whole life when he finds out about the vigilante life the Waynes are in but may I introduce you to:

✨Absolutely horrified Danny.✨

Basically he finds out that his seemingly normal family isn't so normal after all and due to the nature of the JL never responding to Amity calls he assumed that they were working with the government. This led to the realization that the family probably knows who he is (they really don't. They just think that he was a meta that doesn't want to deal with the crime-related life bs so they never brought it up) and they're probably in the midst of handing him to the GIW.

He's terrified, because god dammit he shouldn't have trusted a rich guy but he doesn't really have time to contemplate on his next move. Next thing you know Danny's holding a modified ecto gun that is now fatal to humans against Bruce.

The family is alert and ready to pounce on him, but they realized that Danny was shaking too much and his breathing was too ragged. His eyes are glossy and he's biting his lip like he's trying so hard to not drop the gun on his adoptive dad. Danny was having a panic attack.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #batfam #danny fenton #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc prompts #dpxdc #batpham #I'm spoiling y'all too much #Danny: I have a gun and i don't care if i love you as my dad. I WILL shoot. #Bruce: Danny pls #Danny to Jason: WHY ARE YOU IN ON THIS #Jason: IN ON WHAT. #dc x dp
