#faith in rollerskates!!!!

[normalbeast-downformaintenance]

sometimes I see queer discourse that is so fucking stupid and reductive and bad faith that it makes me want to study queer theory so that I'll have the credibility needed to get a word in against these suckers and to point them in the direction of writing discussing the topic and historical accounts and most of all TO GET TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT QUEERNESS THAT ISN'T PEOPLE TRYING TO BITE EACH OTHERS' DICKS OFF BECAUSE THEY DISAGREE but if I were to go into queer studies I'd have to dedicate all of my time to it because that's how academia is formatted and I'd have no time for all the other things I live for like art and writing and cooking food and hanging out with friends and hanging out in nature and learning about science and the natural world and climbing rocks and rollerskating and having really freaknasty gay sex with friends

#mine #rants #queer tag #I'm so frustrated #why is queer discourse like this #why is academia like this #why are you guys constantly cannibalizing each other #why can't I learn the things I want and have engaging discussions with clever people without making it my life's only mission #why should we have to fight with other queer people when we already have to fight to be queer #why don't people listen to good well researched points unless they have the credibility of academia behind them #while people will listen to the most batshit insane bad faith takes that throw other people under the bus

I have a lot of negative thoughts and feelings about men due to the patriarchy. But really, I feel more negatively towards the patriarchy than towards men, or rather I'd want to. But they always act in ways that are so unhealthy. I don't want it to be a self fulfilling prophecy. Men are just idiots: true or false?

I don't think so. There are a lot of brilliant men. At least the ones that are platformed.

But it is more likely for them to act out in ways that are encouraged by society but actually harmful. It takes a really evolved man on a high frequency to really see past that stuff.

I know a few. Young men from this day and age.

No one is completely perfect. Heck knows I'm not.

Maybe I'd hate women if I were in a place where women were encouraged to be their worst versions of themselves.

I can't wait to get out of the bar life. I cant wait to be in a place that doesn't make me lose my faith in humanity and the odd one out.

OR is humanity hopeless and I'm just stuck here.

Maybe there is a freeing beauty in just knowing that the truth is, life is a meaniningless blip. It;s not a piece of shit or a miracle, it just is. Well i do feel like its a miracle. It's just not one with heroes and villians and a linear story, its about what you mean to someone who truly knows you, not to those that don;t but know your true character.

I'm not sure that I'll ever feel fully secure with myself in this world. There are times that i love life, when I'm rollerskating on a cool but warm cloudy day, wearing a bob. When obnoxious men are ignoring me. When you connect with someone who makes you feel less alone. Those are my favorite feelings. Not every moment in life is that. Some moments are like now, feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically tired. Feeling grateful all the while. That I know life is not a dream. It is however mysterious. Painful and mysterious, and I welcome that. Sometimes I feel like a late blooming teenager. I think I'm ready to do inner teenager healing work.

What did I want to be and do when I was a teenager>?

A lonely wierdo, thats how I feel at my worst. At my best: happy and in touch with my surroundings. Maybe I wasnt meant to feel happy around people. Maybe just animals.

I don't know what my deal is, being a human is complicated.

There's no overarching narrative.

But love is a heartbeat that keeps you going.

Like a good song.

Complicated

Baroque

Why here and why now is one of my biggest existential question. Why in this time and space and life? Why am I here now? Why am I here in this moment?

Thats why I love visual art. It connects you to a different time and space, some kind of continuity. Visual art in person- in a way that you are communicating with the past, wispering secrets to the artist and the artist whispering back in a way that they have with anyone else. I only know what connection that I have with a particular art piece.

I think i was born to a visual artist so i can participate in the game of telephone with artists of the past and today.

Honestly I'm starting to dislike artists that do fanart. I don't know why and that feels superficial to say

I missed rollerskating. It gave me a way to be out and about and physical and paying attention to myself.

I loved it, then I got scared of moving vehicles

I'm hurt by the patriarchy. By the remnants, led in my system.

Been meaning to start Star Trek for a long time, know you're a fan, have seen conflicting views on the best order to watch, what are your thoughts?

Hello! Childhood obsession unlocked!

Disclaimer: I haven't watched much of the nu trek.

Star Trek (The Original Series; you’ll see it as TOS): I’m sure you’ve heard of Kirk, Spock, and Bones! This one is from the 1960s. This means that there will be quite a few moments that will make you eyebrows shoot up because, while it is a story set in the future, sci-fi is always about the current time. It was, however, progressive in many ways. This also means that every episode is its own contained story— no long form story arcs like modern TV. It's fun to pick up an episode or two to watch but it may get tiring to binge. The big classic episode would be Amok Time, of course. The Trouble With Tribbles is goofy but fun. The Mirror episodes are also enjoyable and are used later on (especially in Deep Space Nine). Basically, feel free to pick episodes you like and skip the ones you don't.

The Next Generation: This one is from the 80-90s and the one many grew up with. This is the one with Picard, Data, and Q, as well as the introduction of the Borg. Do recommend! The first season is pretty rough— it was still trying to emulate the original series. Around season three it starts to find its own identity. That said, I'd recommend trying some of the earlier episodes. The Measure of a Man in season two must not be missed (in my opinion). It still gives me chills to this day.

Voyager: This one is from the nineties. It's very episodic, like the original series. It gives me a similar feeling that Supernatural does— a lot of potential, a lot of it wasted. That said, it does have Janeway who is our female lead as well as some interesting characters. I say the same as TOS— watch the ones you like, skip the ones you don't. Fun fact: this series was the flagship show for UPN, which would become the CW. If you look into the behind the scenes stuff, you'll find a lot that is eerily similar to Supernatural.

Deep Space Nine: Deep Space Nine my beloved. This one aired around the same time as Voyager (DS9 started and ended a little before Voyager). Since this one was on a different network from Voyager, the show was able to take a lot more risks with the TV format, including a lot more plot arcs and two parters— up to six connected episodes in a row. The start of season six is awesome, a great pay off to everything that came before. Since this show takes place on a stable space station, there's a lot more opportunity to explore a larger cast outside of Starfleet— Winn is love to hate and Garak is a fan favorite (for good reason!). Love this one. I would recommend the whole thing. There are some stinkers: do yourself a favor and skip Profit and Lace.

Enterprise: This one aired in the 2000s. It is a prequel to TOS. This one I don't revisit a whole lot. It definitely a product of its time— which is right after 9/11. You can really feel it. However, there is some great insight into Vulcans and first contact. It only has four seasons, as it was canceled.

Hopefully this will help you decide! I wrote this in the order I watched them. Don't let anyone tell you exactly how to watch a show. If you're not feeling one of them, give another one a try. TV is for fun.

Thank you for the chance to info dump! It's fun to nerd out about Trek!

So, I took a hiatus. In a way, I don’t regret it. In another way, I do. I’m trying hard not to measure myself by my productivity but the fact is that I have done very little work since Easter. I’ve done my best to study for my exams but in the end, I’ve done the bare minimum for any of them. I have my last one on Friday and then I’m free for a little bit, until I get (fingers crossed) a new question for the essay I missed.

My depression has been bad since I got back after Easter. I don’t necessarily feel sad, but I feel lonely and demotivated and so tired that getting out of bed is nearly impossible, let alone going out and studying.

On the other hand, I’ve written some fanfiction I’m excited about, and even started work on some original fiction I’d left by the wayside. I’ve done some drawing, started rollerskating again, wrestled with God and the Church and my faith. I’m still fighting.

I don’t know if I’m ready to come back from hiatus just yet but I’m going to start easing myself back in, so expect to see me around a bit more :)

[maddyxscamander]

creature kisses. study notes written in a coffee shop. half used tubes of handcream. not a perfect solider but a good woman. dancing in the rain. déjà vu. rollerskating backwards. confused resting face. maps and day trips. accidental kisses. boisterous laughter that fills the room. chaos and beauty. mary janes and colorful rainbows. fairy lights.

DETAILS.

full name: madhuri fawn scamander. nicknames: maddy. dob: february 24th. age: twenty-one. gender: cis female. pronouns: she + her. orientation: bisexual.

height: 5’6″ eye color: brown. hair color: black. distinguishing features: none. occupation: writer for the quibbler. writing a companion to newt’s fantastic beasts and where to find them.

fc: geraldine viswanathan.

WIZARD THINGS.

blood status: pureblood. house: hufflepuff. animagus? none. wand:

length: 10 3/4" flexibility: slightly springy.

chestnut;; this is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of color from the personality that possesses it. the wand of chestnut is attracted to witches and wizards who are skilled tamers of magical beasts, those who possess great gifts in herbology, and those who are natural fliers.

core: unicorn hair;; unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the dark arts. they are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether they are an accomplished witch or wizard.

BIO.

born on february 24th, the same day as her famous father, newt scamander, writer of fantastic beasts and where to find them, and becoming part of the ministry on behalf of magical creatures, it was obvious the adopted girl belonged with the small family. “she’s going to be like daddy!” her older brother, ronnie, would say. her mother, tina, could only smile at newt and whispered, “she’ll be just like her daddy.” newt loved the thought but wouldn’t put pressure on the small, smiling to the brim baby that his family had tried to place on him.

maddy always knew she was different from the rest of her family because of her skin color, yes, but newt and tina never hid her indian roots and encouraged her to learn — if only she had the focus or interest. all that mattered was her family and the scamanders were just that. she had the best home life one could imagine and found no reason to ever worry about something she didn’t know. she loved being maddy scamander. her parents adored and complimented one another perfectly. her brother was a blast to annoy and wrestle with. tina always looked at both their children with bright eyes. newt’s half-smile said more than his words ever needed to. the pureblood family wasn’t ever going to be the traditional type which suited maddy just fine. if she didn’t appreciate her family before she went to hogwarts, she definitely did after she started. she did all she could to spread the scamander love she’d always been taught from her first moment there.

“hufflepuff!” maddy rushed to the table donning yellow, black and embracing the furious badgers. upon sitting, she couldn’t help herself and began hopping in her seat with excitement and sporting a smile bigger than her face. she offered her hand to everyone and anyone she could reach. “hi there! you can call me maddy!” it was virtually impossible not to love her and the way she approached the world. she was contagious.

because maddy had such good friends, she focused on them and her social life more than her grades. technically she did the work, passed exams and did fine on her owls and newts but her grades were nothing to write home about. over the years, tina did all she could to get maddy to focus but couldn’t get her social butterfly to trade one thing for another. maddy couldn’t imagine sitting in front of books all day writing page after page after page of subjects that bored her.

with newt and tina still at the ministry and ronnie joining them straight out of hogwarts there was pressure for maddy to go down similar paths as her family. she would give the pressure a moment’s thought but it wasn’t in maddy’s bones to let it get her down. she always marched to the beat of her own drum. the one thing she got right was being her daddy’s girl. she knew he would help her tease out what she ultimately wanted. — it was like seeing a glimmer of the internal struggle he himself had. maddy had forever been his shadow. he was the one who fully encouraged her weird self to be her weird self. maddy was determined to be that, just as he had been his whole life. to her surprise, she would find herself wanting to follow in her dad’s footsteps and start to sit behind those books, reading and taking notes for a very special project.

after graduation, maddy sat cross-legged on the floor in front of newt. she nervously and excitedly asked what a companion to his famous work might look like. the shock that his daughter really would want to “be like her daddy” and to add to one of his biggest accomplishments made him tear up.

while compiling research she still had to pay the bills. because of her growing writing skills, outgoing personality and opinionated nature, she applied at the daily prophet as an advice columnist. it was a lark, really, so when she was hired she didn’t know what to say or do. what kind of advice could she give with blasted death eaters roaming the streets? obviously she didn’t think that application through. after a month of writing for the prophet maddy went to the quibbler. not quite surprisingly, writing there was more her style — its questionable reputation didn’t matter. they were her kind of people. people with open minds. the weird ones.

maddy’s open-mindedness and strong will tried to stick firmly with the order but couldn’t keep up with every meeting, every training and every update. she wasn’t always present but her flakiness didn’t stop what she believed to be true: she held firm and aligned with the order. without fear she was there when action is necessary. she would always do the right thing and the order was the right thing.

Oh my god

What if Faith,,,, rollerskating,,,

#usually i think ice skating but i think she might find that too cold

[godstiel-coded]

Literally, who did it like me in Middle School?

Reputation for "turning" genders AND sexualities (by way of education & awareness, supposedly via magic)

Boys all had a healthy dose of fear of me, who was slightly feral

Befriended the artsy shy new girl on day 1 And instantly fell in lvoe for the next 3 Years

Also befriended the extremely quiet shy nerd boy

And the dickhead class clown

All on the same day, in the same class

Then got reunited with my usual friends, the self-ided bimbo (who was Not a bimbo), the vaguely sexist earnest boy, and the "troubled" boys who hated each other but both adored me

Proceeded to do So Much weird shit

So much weird shit

Top hits include :

a long string of events involving fireboy and watergirl and ending jn an acquaintance on his knees worshipping the "King" at my feet while my male friend is declared my "Queen"

being GNC despitw not being out OR passing but vibes being so trans everyone could feel it

a 3 year long multi generational slice of life roleplay,

decorating a manilla folder with satanic symbols and latin but ALSO symbols of other faiths and hebrew,

consentually collecting peoples hair,

making kool aid at the water fountain,

Breaking Every Single Rule all the time but beinf enough of a teachers pet no one gave a shit

Teaching a class of Other Middleschoolers (quit because cussing them out took too much energy)

Declared most likely to die a virgin while in a room full of shirtless people

Laughed so hard I had to take a nap on the floor to recover

Sang the little einsteins theme with my whole class because my teacher made the mistake of doing a countdown

Being SO in love with afforementioned artgirl I learned how to draw AND wrote her a WAX SEALED LOVE CONFESSION (and got rejected?? )

Had the Biggest straight-and-narrow good influence tattle-tale rep Ever and thus was left unattended at home both alone and with friends Constantly, (not as Innocent as I seemed)

Got Really fucking good at rollerskating but rejected the offer to go competitive (ew skirts) and instead showed off at the rink in my black and neon outfits and tail??

Went to oregon for 6 weeks with my queer GNC aunt, came home and Immediately cut mt hair short (after I maxed out how many pe cils I could out in my hair for science of course, it was more than 30)

"I don't want to date right now" said with some guy I sorta know sitting on my lap in class

Recited a love letter excerpt by Alexander Hamilton into some girls ear and she was So flustered and did Not know what I said At All, asked me to do it again

And this is NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ALL OF IT. Literally spent Every Moment In School being chaotic. I was causing gay chaos in fucjing kindergarten

Just wait til I got older and actually got an equally chaotic gf ? It was after a schoolcswitch, from 80 ish kids in my class to like 900 and even That could not deter my antics, and my school record is Flawless, no disciplinary issues Ever

#dont rb but DO send me asks for more stories or with questions #this doesn't even touch me in 4th grade with my warrior cats oc who used neopronouns was intersex oriented aroace nonbinary and had anxiety #to name a few details about zer #not to be self absorbed but my life is literally So Weird #this js why i want to write platonic self insert fics #bc i have SO MANY weird stories

First Impressions: RWBY v8c9, “Witch”

"Witch", huh?  Presumably Salem.  Are we going to get more backstory lore? Because YES PLEASE.

The Atlas army vs. the whale whose teeth loom like mountains on the horizon.  They look like toys. I can't help thinking these soldier mooks equal any Huntsman in courage, if not in skill.  And this is the first real large-scale action any of them have seen - that anyone in the world has seen in their lifetimes.

eyy Ren has gotten over the snappishness as well as the despairing angst.    Suddenly gaining control of his evolving Semblance must help a lot with the feelings of powerlessness.  (And though we haven't seen him use it on Jaune or Yang, I'm thinking being able to know for certain how much your friends care about you and have your back  is a source of power in itself.)

They're discussing fairy tales MY HEART

Ozpin continuing to confirm he has handed over the reins completely to Oscar.   I don't like this about the accelerating merge, though. It feels like we're going to lose Oz  very soon. And yet,  Jinn's vision definitely showed us Oz and host coexisting in middle age.  Did they not use magic in that lifetime?  Or is the merge somehow not about "losing" either one of them?

Team FNKI in a line of regular soldiers!  They've got to have mobilized all the students, but I wonder if we'll see any others besi-  Neon. Neon you are wearing rollerskates to the apocalypse.  

...well, why not?  

Marrow,  YOU'RE just a kid.  You can't be more than a few years older, and you're not that much more seasoned. Though I understand the feeling.

So, Hazel, you're ready to rejoin fact-based reality?  Or at least listen to someone who pretty much definitionally can't be lying?  

(Actually...the only information we have about Jinn comes from her, and it'd be a hell of an interesting twist if she was editing facts to fit her own agenda.  I don't think it's very likely for meta reasons, but it'd make a great fic premise, wouldn't it?)

Huh.  He sounds much much calmer, and like he's been thinking through everything for the last few hours.  

....what? He's not even going to ask???  THAT is a surprise.  The existence of Jinn and knowing Oscar  gave him the password in good faith  were enough to deradicalize a violent extremist. (Wish it was that easy in RL.)

Oscar's little wave

(You know, now that I think of it,  Ozpin has never interacted with Jinn himself.  She's greeted him twice and he hasn't answered.  Does he resent her for not answering his predecessor's questions more helpfully?  Mistrust her?  )

yes rescue Emerald good

"Just to be  clear" - oh god I thought that was Salem's voice and nearly jumped out of my seat.

"I'll come back for it"  crap crap crap  Hazel's redemption arc is going to be short, painful, and fatal.   And Salem will keep the lamp, if not have the password.

And we'll just all turn our backs on the divine artifact-entity and walk away.  I guess they don't think she's enough of a person to say goodbye to?  

And our eavesdropper is...the one person who CAN'T summon Jinn or ask her a question.  

Oh no. No.  Please don't have the fandom descend into "Jinn is ablist" discourse. (ETA: upon thinking further I take it back,  the gods suck and providing a Relic that not everyone can use is in its way a tiny symbol of their callous attitude to people. ) 

RJY working smoothly together, nice. 

Robyn said people are always suspicious of her, and her truthsense ability has a clearly visible limiting condition.    But Ren can apparently read the emotions of everyone around him all the time without them knowing.  Surely that would make a lot of people uncomfortable.  (Although I expect  the writers to ignore this, and will be pleasantly surprised if they explore it at all.)

That's always the way isn't it, you roll a 4 on your concentration check right when a demonic jellyfish is floating by.

Huh, they separated from Oscar?  And Hazel is worried about him? I'm still dizzy from the speed of this 180.  

uh...hi, Salem.  Nice...weather outside the whale today?  Seen any good dismemberments lately?

Hazel,  you are a terrible liar and you can't bluff.   Admittedly the stakes are a lot  higher here than in the weekly WTCH poker game.

Salem NYOOM

No one can accuse Yang of not understanding the core competencies.

"Juan"???  I did hear that correctly, yes?  Marrow not remembering Jaune's name is hilarious.  And I was about to say understandable, but no, they worked with the Ace Ops for weeks!  Did you just have him mentally filed as "the blond himbo tank"?

O-kayyyyyy.    I can't blame Emerald,  but this could go so horribly wrong so fast. 

Isn't Hazel-disguised-as-Oscar  way too heavy to pick up like tha-  OHHHHHHHHH.  Now things make much more sense.  Oscar was the one worried about Hazel earlier,  and failing utterly to bluff.  Infinitely more in character.

Awkward Semblance is also extremely convenient in short-cutting negotiations. Nice.

I do not, in fact, have any doubt that Winter would blow up her sister.   And in this situation  I can't say it's the wrong thing to do.  As far as they know their bomb is the only hope.

Wow. I really did not think we’d go to toe to toe with Salem herself at this point in the plot.  It's so traditional to save the final boss fight for, well, the final boss.  She's terrifying and unstoppable, but not actually more terrifying than the giant whale.    

Her regen is just like  the Hound's body morphing, but far smoother and faster with a thousand "deaths" of practice.

She sounds more normal right now, oddly.   Her voice is lacking both the measured slowness and the resonance it has when she's making speeches.  I like the idea of that falling away when she's surprised and exasperated.  

Our heroes are very very lucky that RWBY is not a darker show, or those Grimmhand  restraints would be doing a lot of gross agonizing damage with their nails.   There's no reason she'd want to be gentle at this point.

Yeah, there's the sonorous voice again. Although it wavers again with that "Why do you Keep. Coming. Back?"   Does she not know? How can she not know, Jinn's vision said Ozma told her everything.  Perhaps she means: why do you keep fighting  me instead of hiding like the hermit.

Yang, don't give her information,  gah!   "Her again."  She sounds pleased.  I think we are going to find out Summer's fate this volume after all.  Salem will reveal it to break Ruby’s spirit.  Prediction: it will work. 

(EDIT: I completely missed the significance of Yang calling Summer “my mom”.  Wow.)

She definitely intends to turn Emerald into something like the Hound.

"No more Gretchens."   Oh, of course that's what Oscar said he needed before they could leave, the cane.

Hazel's life expectancy is minutes long but at least it included a satisfying KAPOW.   And every single sparkly crystal he owns.  Somehow he seems smaller here, less bulky than he did at Haven.  Less a titan and more a man.

yigh he's pounding her into mush.  Which he has several times before, apparently.  This is all to buy you time, Emerald, why are you not running.   (I know, I know.   She's never had someone actually help her and care about her, only scraps of affection to establish control.    At this moment Cinder's hold on her is breaking forever.)

(Neo, on the other hand.  Will she bring the lamp to Cinder, who frankly has been a totally crap partner and deserves no loyalty?    Is she still after revenge?   My bet is still firmly on her planning to backstab Cinder as soon as Ruby is gone.  But beyond that, we don't know her thoughts at all.  She might join the heroes, or disappear like Raven to hide while the apocalypse works itself out.)

That's true, Oscar, but what can you do to stop her?  

Hah!  Clever,  Hazel.  And she's actually screaming in pain from the fire, whereas she didn't make a sound when being pulverized.

What does the cane DO?  It's impressive as heck, but I can't tell.  Channeling his magic, certainly.  Are we going to lose Oz  right now?  With no chance to talk to Ruby or Qrow or anyone, to reconcile?  It seems all too likely, and such a waste.

Which makes me think, in turn, that perhaps we will lose Oscar too in a way.  Unexpected - I have always thought the merge would end with Oscar holding all the memories.  But maybe he won't be quite either of them anymore, even if he remembers both and the others still call him Oscar.  And that thought also makes me sad.

Anyway,  good episode, though now the title doesn’t seem particularly relevant. Hazel was much more the focus.

homestuck ship vibes

a/n: i’m just doing like random ones off the top of my head, so if you want one for a ship that i missed, hit up my inbox or wherever. also thanks to @sicklythiasus for a few suggestions. there’ll probably be more parts to this, too.

johndave: faith, growing up together, learning new things, sleepover first kisses, hazy-sweet summer days like the kind you remember from growing up, slushies, videogames with your friends, staying up late, headphones, polaroids hanging on the ceiling from strings, arcades, trying to learn how to rollerskate, 80′s nostalgia, childhood friends, inside jokes that are too old to explain anymore

rosemary: mementos, flower language, fairy lights, decorating your apartment together, foldout sewing baskets, houseplants, full bookshelves, antiquing, thrifting vintage jewelry, reading poetry, dinner parties with friends, floral tea sets, used bookstore dates, finding trust and peace and comfort in each other, seeing the beauty in everything.

davekat: spotting a beautiful stranger from across the room, yearning, crush culture, dinner dates, love at first sight, being understood, holding hands everywhere, playful arguments, forehead kisses, red roses on the table, reluctant confessions, letting your walls down, smiling at someone while they’re not looking, cuddling, lonely hearts made not-so-lonely, meet-cutes

vrisrezi: asphalt, november, cloudy days, kissing secretly behind the back of the building, sneaking out your window at midnight, sparklers on a fire escape, road trips, radios, “i’m not leaving without you”, faking birthdays and propsals at restaraunts to get free food and then stealing sly glances at each other across the table, 90′s grunge, making your own happy ending

dirkjake: casette mixtapes, opposites attract, pda, on-again-off-again, nostalgia for highschool, grand romantic gestures, falling into routine with someone, slow-dancing late at night, neon cities and lush islands, always coming back, trying to fluster the other, ironic petnames, an unspoken “i love you”, reminders to go to sleep, the end of an era, never telling someone how beautiful they look, 3am airport kisses

“at least you’re here to flip the quesadillas”

WORKING A FAST FOOD JOB WITH OUR PUNK BOY™ MICHAEL HARRISON HAS TO INCLUDE...

michael wanted to work anywhere else

but, he needed a job to help his older sister pay the bills and taco bell was the only place that would pay him $10 an hour and would hire him within the week

you can fight me on this, but i 100% believe that michael was adopted by his older sister (who’s 10 years older than him) because his parents were abusive and neglectful

and you already worked there

when michael walked in wednesday after school, the purple taco bell t-shirt replacing his usual skull tee, you about died of laughter

you knew michael as the school’s resident bad boy who you had english with and who never participated in group projects

and now you knew him as “harrison,” your new co-worker that your boss kept forgetting the first name of

and then you started to have misgivings, because the last time you had to work with michael harrison was on an analysis of the themes in beowulf, and he had been missing most of the days you worked on it and barely presented his slides when the time came

but you were pleasantly surprised

michael, when he wanted to be, was a hard worker

and he was kind to the old ladies at the cash register

and patient with the mothers in the drive through that had screaming babies in the back of their car

and maybe he wasn’t the boy you thought you knew

and you were certain he didn’t remember you

and for two weeks, the two of you didn’t really ackowledge each other, even though you worked the same night shift on the weekends and your schedules matched on tuesdays and thursdays

but you shouldn’t have had such little faith in him

“hey, (y/n), can you get the register?”

okay, maybe he read your name tag?

and then, later, when you were going over vocabulary for your english quiz underneath your breath:

“the quiz was postponed till next week, by the way. i saw you weren’t in class today.”

“...thanks, michael.”

and that is the start of a beautiful friendship

when the nightshifts were painstakingly long, the two of you would make items for your “secret menu”

“what did you put in it this time?”

“time to figure it out.”

“did you put CHEETOS in this BEAN BURRITO?!?!?!”

“they made a doritos taco! same concept!”

“no, this is an unholy demon!”

or you have debates about whether or not movies are good, and no matter what, michael has to play the devil’s advocate

“la la land failed as a musical, drama, and romace!”

“the relationship of emma stone and ryan gosling was a romance of the ages.”

“then why weren’t they endgame?”

“because sometimes in life, endgame doesn’t happen because external influences put strains on your marriage.”

“they were never married.”

“do you think i’ve actually seen this movie?”

one of your favorite things to do with michael, though, is talk about school

because even though he hates the mandates that the state puts on the school, he still loves berry high

and michael is also the best, because he is not afraid to stand up for you

if a customer is being rude? you feel sorry for them

“i’m sorry, (y/n), is this man being rude to you? because i can call our superiors and pull them out of their meeting to come down here if it’s such a big deal”

and the two of you take turns deciding what playlist you should listen to while working, and michael actually has a really good angsty playlist?

and what’s really cute is how he lip-syncs to any song he knows the words to

“you know all of me by john legend?”

“obviously. i mean, the man is a legend.”

“oh my  g o d.”

night shifts are now fun, and michael agrees

he thinks it is absolutely adorable when you put your headphones in to mop and you dance to music only you can hear

and you buy michael a taco bell snapback and he wears it to humor you

you have a cherished photo of the moment

and in return he buys you a taco bell fanny pack and you scream

he also has a cherished photo of you

“if anyone ever proposes to me, they better give me a taco bell ring or i’m saying no.”

“do they actually have those?”

“god, i hope not.”

both of you  r i o t  when you find the weddings section on the taco bell merch website

“they even have ‘i do’ written on a few of these mild sauce packets!”

you pterodactyl screech

and, inevitably, when aiden, caleb, emma, and maria find out that michael works there, they become frequents of your humble establishment

caleb has a whole instagram highlight called ‘sightings of michael’ and they are all really shaky video’s of him working in his taco bell t-shirt

and you welcome them because now you have four more friends?

and how did you all become friends? everyone is so different.

and no one really knows

you start a web of conspiracy’s to satisfy your curiosity

and even in the summer, when everywhere is hiring, michael doesn’t quit because he would never “leave you alone in this hellscape”

sure.

“are you sure it’s not because you actually enjoy my presence?”

“that might have something to do with it.”

that doesn’t mean that the two of you don’t make jokes about working elsewhere, tho

“let’s work at sonic. i would work in the kitchen and you can wear those rollerskates and give people their tater tots.”

“i’d rather die. let’s work at del taco instead.”

“our rivals? what about loyalty?”

“treason was always my forte.”

“...make it taco time and i’ll consider it.”

“you really just want to work with tater tots, don’t you?”

“can you blame me?”

AND FLUFF ENSUES.

Day 14/100 days of productivity

Today I:

Made my weekly plan

Did some python notes!

Rollerskated

Did some chores

Signed up for societies

Today was good! I felt very good and productive. I think just getting it together and getting that work done yesterday really helped me lift the funk I was in. Now I'm able to look forward to what I have to do next, rather than ruminating on what I didn't do and feeling paralysed! I've still got to tidy up a bit and change my sheets, but I have faith in myself! I'm also super happy people have found some of my older days of productivity and are reblogging them, it's very motivating for me to get back to the library so I can take aesthetic pictures haha.
