#negativity cw #death cw #family cw #my paternal grandfather just passed away #he was very sick and in pain the last few years so in a way it’s a bit of a relief that he’s not suffering anymore #mostly I’m sad for my dad #Since I only ever met my grandparents a few times (grew up in USA while they lived in India) #anyway I’m more or less okay #just feeling kind of shaken #he was my last remaining grandparent #and now my parents have no parents #which is a very strange and sobering thought

Rant ahead. Do not read.

Alright. Clearly, the universe doesn't want me to have any time to rest because every time I get a second of downtime, something insane happens.

I just got home because the cops banged on my door when I was in the shower. Apparently, my stepdad, who lives on the other side of town, barricaded himself in the basement of a house that used to belong to a friend of the family --- who passed away over a year ago. A new family lives there now. When I got there, they even had the K-9 unit out and were hauling him out of the basement in handcuffs.

The sheriff had to give me a ride home. I feel so bad for the family he terrorized (I guess he banged on their windows and said someone was coming to hurt them, then broke into the basement) and for the cops who have to keep dealing with this stuff.

I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take. It's always something.

#shit chat #family cw #parents divorcing: dad moved into tiny apt & doesn't want anything. mom moving to kentucky in a few weeks? months? w/ new fiancee #brother sick of the drama; doesn't want anything & isn't talking to my mom rn (understandable) #so i'm. pawing through 30 years of my parents' junk trying to sift out & salvage childhood relics #the leftovers mostly bc my mom has already laid claim to most of the things i have a strong attachment to #and currently having an existential crisis on my bedroom floor sorting through xmas decorations to keep/donate #like damn my childhood has so much substance in my memory & these objects seemed imbued with so much magic #and looking at it now there's a few things that still have a glimmer of life but mostly it's just cheap old shit. #i don't want any of this; i just want the sense of comfort and love and security of a functional loving family #but the divorce is also dredging up a lot of shit that i'm further processing in therapy #and i'm coming to the very depressing realization that a lot of my childhood kinda sucked ass #not all of it! and looking at photos i still feel strong positive emotions towards my past #but there really isn't any legacy to speak of. heirlooms consist of a few sentimental tchotchkes & a box of old picture books #also my mom kinda fucking sucked as a parent in ways i'm only just now allowing myself to admit & examine #like i don't think i could ever hate her or write her off completely and i did get certain wonderful aspects of myself from her #but she hasn't consistently been a Good Mom to me. p much since my brother was born when i was like 5. #more like a very mentally ill fair-weather friend who was also partially responsible for raising me #god this sucks. but at least i have a box of delicate sparkly glass baubles that i can smash on the pavement for catharsis sometime #anyways. friends if it seems like i've been more hermit-y and avoidant than usual lately– this is why #i've been estranged from most of my extended family for years & used to be really close with my immediate family. #which is currently a reeking dumpster fire that's choking my life with noxious smoke #and p much all of my energy & free time is going towards not letting actively retruamatizing current events nuke my brain #brother & i agreed that the current Vibes are like... #trying to cut loose the life boats from a sinking ship and get clear before the water displacement sucks us under #but i finally have all my shit out of the house except furniture that can't be moved until my mom moves #so the gaping chest wound is slowly starting to scab over and i can start actually clearing out some of this shit & #tracing the panicked exodus back to a more grounded stable version of myself #ugh.

....ooof, nothing like the reminder of so much.. familial related anger that i actually have. like i was just trying to have a good day with my sister for her birthday. and my dad .. just.. in his 'i'm just stating my opinion because you seem affected' and you're not listening to me. you're not listening to why i was trying to explain some further context.

... i can't fucking stand him. i don't even want to pretend. i can like him sometimes, but that kind of shit is why i can't stand him. and i can't stand that this is just tolerated because men from his side of the family have always been like that.

AND WHY IS THAT STILL OKAY? WHY IS THERE STILL THIS EXPECTATION OF FORGIVENESS HERE?

i'd believe he was sorry if i thought he would ever change his behavior. but i am pretty sure that he won't in that area. so .. like. i hate it. i hate that it's tolerated. i hate that it's just.. oh i have to forgive him cause he apparently loves me.

nah. this is bullshit. if he loves me this ain't how you show it. it really isn't.

#family cw #coming back here for a rant. hm. #i would probably also say this whole insistence on forgiveness without changed behavior is probably tied to the christian religiosity there #which. you know. yeah. #like i'll move on for the moment but this kind of thing is just not okay for me it's just not

ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#family cw #sometimes. i talk to my family. and i go 'ohhhhhhhhhhhh my deep-seated conviction that every good thing i get #necessarily comes at the expense of someone else's pain and thus is something i should feel guilty about DOES have a source--' #it would have been really really nice to be excited about having $10000 less student debt for like. ONE minute.... #also idk idk it's crazy to see something and be like 'wow good news for once!' and then get slammed with complaining #both from my family angsting about the wide-reaching economic implications AND from ppl on twitter about how it's not enough toactually help #and like. yeah the ppl on twitter are right! and there's probably some truth in what my family said too they're generally smart people #even if their priorities are all out of wack! but it's also like. yeah well fuck me i guess! sorry i briefly got happy! #anyway. maybe having a bunch less debt will let me afford therapy :) #sigh i think it sucks that people that you really really love and respect and who generally did so much good for you can also hurt you :( #hm i'm remembering i haven't eaten lunch yet. gonna go do that so i'll start feeling emotions at normal levels again

Having some feelings, don't know who to talk to may delete this

I'm staying with my parents for a while and I love them so much, they're everything to me, but. But my dad is shifting farther and farther right politically, he keeps picking up new awful opinions and he wants to get angry about "wokery" all the time, and I hate fighting with my family, he obviously has no interest in listening and having his mind changed, so all that happens is it have to try and mitigate my own response. And it's just becoming so clear that like. Much as he tells me so often that he likes the person I am and he's proud of me, I don't think he would like or be proud of a lot of what I do. He'll really disapprove if he ever reads my work. And I know he won't stop loving me, and I know that in itself is something I'm lucky to have. But also, god I just want my dad to be proud of me. He always has been, but the further we drift apart politically, the less that can be true. And it's tearing me up honestly.

#there's a side thing about how my queerness plays into this but that's a bit different #and weirdly in some ways i think less of a big deal? #though i may be wrong about that #no rebagels pls #family cw

posted this on twit but rejected draft for a transgender horror anthology. based on my youth experiences having dinners with bigoted family members while closeted. (deemed too gorey to fit the theme)

i do know more about al's family than i do about anyone else's - not a difficult feat considering that matt doesn't have one and the other two in the cast, kate and franz, might as well not. al has a very strained relationship with her family. she grew up, i think, in a conservative area - i'm drawn to putting her in the bible belt somewhere - before moving away to get away from the prejudiced ideologies. she was, i think, nearly disowned when she got engaged to a woman, although the family has since started to make what repairs can be made after something like that.

her family will want to visit her in the hospital, but i don't yet know that they'll be allowed to, although controlling what visitors come (according to the study i read) is really difficult.

that's about all i know. it's also a fairly big family, i think, although how much of that spread is siblings and how much is cousins is unclear to me.

“So is no one going to talk about the eldritch space child or…” 

“I mean, do you want to get between a child and Batman? I think the only one who could even get close right now is Superman…” 

“No you’re right, I think- oh my god the eldritch space child is playing with batman’s bat-ears and he’s not doing anything about it what the fuck I thought only Robins could get away with that-”

every day i wake up and get caught up in a family-shaped shitstorm. this has been going on for over 6 months. surely the mental health decline, weight loss, random blood pressure spikes, and the fact that i now look like a zombie are not at all direct consequences of this /s

#my family stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of real estate and left me nothing btw did i mention that? #then my (older) cousin had the audacity to show up at my mom’s door last night demanding to talk to me #like you conniving bitch was what you and your family of con artists put me through still not enough for you #did you think my mom and i would let you into OUR home after what you did? #okay i can feel my blood pressure rising again and the oncoming headache so i’ll stop #i just had to let it out #/ #weight loss cw #family cw #← cause god knows these mfs need a warning

#negativity cw #24 hours ago my mom asked me to come home and wfh on Friday #to be there for my dad since since his dad/my grandfather just passed away #And he’s flying to India next week for the funeral #she said on the phone that it’s just the two of them at home with my younger sibs away at college and it’s lonely #And they keep bickering #And she said that with me there I bring light into the house #And I was basking in the glow of that compliment since yesterday evening #I drove up today from my city after work #And I’ve not even been home for two hours before a fight breaks out #And she’s yelling at me how nothing ja changed and I’m still irresponsible/uncommunicative/etc. and I’m sitting at the dinner table #With tears in my eyes #I miss my parents so much when I’m in my city where I live now #But every time I come home I am so so so so glad I don’t live here anymore #family cw

🌷💞✨ answer with 3 random facts about yourself, then send this to 10 other people 🌷💞✨

Aaaa thanks for the ask (and pardon the delay >.<)

Random Fact 1: I currently have 47 tabs open on my Firefox browser.

Random Fact 2: I bought some new socks yesterday.

Random Fact 3: I grew up with an older bro and a younger bro. My younger bro is cool, but the overwhelming majority of my memories of the older bro is that he's judgmental and uncaring, and believes his friends who complain about my difficult-to-socialize-with self. And with that, many male acquaintances, online figures, and even male fictional characters are better big brother figures than the biological one I grew up with.

broken but not destroyed

WHAT A DISAPPOINTING AND HEARTBREAKING FINALE? To have the man who was abused, mutilated, and disabled for protecting the crew, to have a suicide attempt survivor who crawled on the ground, to have someone who battled depression and alcoholism, to cement his role as the 'Ship's Unicorn" (the figurehead that protected the crew) only to reduce him as someone who "had to die" because he had no more narrative feeling, what a slap to the face. DJenkins said he didn't want to fall back into old tropes and burying your gays, but there's an elder disabled queer man you just buried for what, to absolve Ed of his abuse? Izzy died thinking he DESERVED the torture done upon him. What a disgrace. Izzy fans rallied and kickstarted a S3 renewal Campaign. And many of us are heartbroken and grieving for a show who promised kindness but only justified the abuse we've gotten the past months? We stayed and hoped better because of kindness and belonging. "This show is kind" has never rang more hollow. I'll still love and create art for him, but I don't think I can trust any other queer show again. I thought this would be different. Do you want a queer show full of kindness and found family, for all queers, the disabled and survivors and the rough around the edges ones? It's not Our Flag Means Death.

#izzy hands #israel hands #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd spoilers #cw suicide mention #what a fucking disgrace of a show spouting about love and family #ofmd #our flag means death

Language Before/After Kids

Sorry if the humor is a bit crass, but I've witnessed this phenomena so many times with friends who become parents that I could not help but wonder which extreme side of the line these boys fall on.

This is also a bit of a character dive. I kind of like the idea of Leo constantly censoring himself around Casey Junior, because it gives it even more oomph when he says "badass" in the beginning of the movie since it signals that he now views CJ as an adult who he respects, depends on, and can speak with frankly. No censoring needed.

#designing 20 something replica boys #still figuring them out #points to people who recognize Leo's outfit #yes this will be important later #also I don't think Leo cursed a bunch #but he had no problem with telling someone off who crossed the line with his family #drama in the old colony #cw language #cw profanity #rottmnt replica #replica #rottmnt #future bootyyy shaker #save rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #unpause rise of the tmnt #unpause rottmnt #future leo #future donnie #casey junior #kathaynesart
