now playing: glue song by beebadoobee and clairo

when your cousin asked you to babysit her kids for the afternoon, you immediately accepted. you were very close to your family but still felt like you didn't see your cousin or her twin daughters enough so you jumped on the occasion.

trent had already met your family quite a few times but when you told him the news, he was already planning the whole day ahead wanting to make the most out of the afternoon you'll spend with olivia and amalia.

he'd prepared custom sandwiches for them according to their taste and he forced you to bake cookies with him for them.

"come on it'll be fun." he practically pleaded.

"but trent you know that we can't bake to save our life."

"we ? who is we ? i'm a great baker." he replied side eyeing you while grabbing every ingredient needed. it was the truth, sort of. trent was not a great baker but he was definitely better than you, his cookies were edible (most of the time) and even good, sometimes.

but baking with trent was always a hustle, you tried to focus on the recipe while he wanted to wing it, saying it would taste better this way.

"you should listen to the real chef here love, it's not a big deal if we don't put the exact same amount of vanilla you know. now, be a good sous-chef and grab the whip for me please" he told you with a cocky grin, he knew how you would react to his words, exactly how he wanted you to.

you grabbed the whip only to playfully hit his shoulder with it while trent dramatically whined that you wanted him injured for the start of the season.

it didn't surprise you that your boyfriend was this excited about spending his day with actual kids, the way he was behaving like one right now.

after at least an hour of battling with trent, and cleaning your flour-maculated kitchen, your cookies were ready. and after tasting one (for research purposes, of course), you could say they were good, 'probably the best thing ever baked' in your boyfriend's words.

after a while, your shared house's doorbell finally rang, and trent nearly jumped out of his seat to open the door, you followed him and welcomed your cousin and her 7 year old daughters.

"thank you so much for babysitting them today, they're very happy to see their favorite aunty and uncle." your cousin beamed while giving you their bags, heavy with toys.

"we're also happy to spend some time with them, we have a great afternoon planned." you replied with a smile. trent who had his hand on your waist was quick to agree with you too.

after olivia and amalia hugged their mum goodbye, trent was already grabbing your bags full of sandwiches, sweets, and freshly baked cookies.

"uncle trent did you know my team won the school's football competition in may." amalia beamed at trent while she told him how she scored the winning goal for her team, thanks to her sister's brilliant assist. seeing trent and your little cousins get along this well made your chest feel warm at the scene, you almost wished for today to never end, although it was far from over.

once you settled your large blanket in the park, your boyfriend chose. you gave olivia and her sister their sandwiches with a kiss on their forehead. you turned around to take your own when you met trent eyes and his lovesick smile.

"why are you looking at me like that ?" you asked him with a shy smile as you felt the blush creep up your cheeks.

"do i need a reason to stare at my girl now ?" he answered, quickly pressing a kiss on your lips.

"ewww." olivia covered her eyes in disgust, while amalia pretended to throw up.

you laughed at their dramatic reactions and took a bite of the sandwich prepared by trent.

after the girls finished their sandwiches, they tasted the homemade cookies and absolutely loved them.

"of course they're perfect, they were made by liverpool's best baker." trent beamed pointing at himself. you rolled your eyes while olivia and amalia laughed at his ridiculous claim.

when it was finally time to go, you cleaned up everything while your cousins started walking to the car holding each other's hands.

"come on let's go home, my three princesses." he said, while bringing your hand to his lips to kiss the back of it and kiss the side of your head while you started walking, holding hands like teens.

after your cousin picked up olivia and amalia, and thanked you again, the house seemed oddly silent. not the awkward kind of silence but a comforting one, the kind of silence you often shared with trent when words weren't needed.

"i really had fun today you know." trent broke the silence, stroking your hair.

"yeah, i noticed that, i'm glad you get on well with them."

"i think you'd be a great mum." he said almost in a whisper. you did not expect this. trent and you have been together for over a year already, but you've never had this talk.

"are you trying to tell me something ?" you asked, looking up at him.

"i don't know, not really, i was just thinking that maybe-" you put an end to his suffering quickly when you noticed his stammering.

"i'm joking trent... i think you'd be a great dad, the best actually."

he looked at you lovingly and kissed you in a manner that was definitely different than when the girls were here.

his kisses started trailing down your neck as you moved your head to the side, implicitly telling him to keep going.

"should we start practicing then mmh ?"

Record numbers of protesters all over France today. Images from Paris, Toulouse, Grenoble, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Rennes, Lyon, Lille, Marseille.

Major highways and bridges along with train stations, ports, warehouses and refineries blocked by demonstrators and unions, many universities and high schools blocked by students, Tour Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe & Palace of Versailles closed to tourists, 25% of workers on strike in the national electricity and railway companies, 15% of all civil servants on strike. Protests were organised in every major city and many smaller ones. Could have added a lot more pics of huge crowds in Strasbourg, Nantes, Limoges, Orléans, Nancy, Annecy, Brest, Mulhouse, Pau, Montpellier, Rouen, Le Mans, Bayonne, Toulon, Tours...

And kudos to Brittany for consistently out-Brittanying itself this month, between the nurses who brought out the catapult again while playing the biniou, and the fishermen who sent a tractor to face down the police’s water cannon Transformers-style, your protests have a special place in my heart.

#frpol #there were small town marches in my rural region that brought out as big a crowd as we can possibly muster :') #i asked my mum if the France TV info livestream had mentioned small town protests and she said ''no they're on strike'' ah well. good #roads were blocked here too but nowhere near where i live or else pampe could have done her part in the national effort #she's used to being on roads for the purpose of being an inconvenience i think she'd have liked to use her skills for a good cause

My Operetta redesign! I cooked here I think 💥

(some design notes under da cut☝️🤓)

The Dies Irae (at least the first four notes) is referenced in these four prominent blotches! (shitty visualisation) (and yes! I gave her five linear scars to reference music sheets)

And this schwoopy hair thing is supposed to look like a treble clef but i probably didn't make it obvious enough oopsies 😐

Anyways I love bitches with facial deformities that are LOUD and UGLY 💖

#monster high #operetta #d. does she have a last name?? #operetta phantom #i guess? #could also be #operetta destler #like from robert englund's 1989 film version #or maybe #operetta daae #IF she is in fact the daughter of christine and the phantom and she took her mum's last name #if that's the case that's uh... it's.... 😐 #look erik wasn't exactly the good guy in the story alright? #bro was kind of a total creepazoid. like those quote unquote nice guys that complain about females always choosing the abusive jock chad #at least from what i remember #anyways i think thats enough tags

Rocky + magic

Boy (2010) dir. Taika Waititi

#boy (2010) #taika waititi #cricket gifs #do u get it. #this is like. a gifset about an essay i have simmering in the back of my head so here comes some long ass tags #rocky actually has magic first of all we love magical realism #second of all he has to learn to reconcile his powers (which he believes killed his mom) with his potential to do good #with those powers #so when he knocks alamein over that's a turning point bc he suddenly realizes he Could kill his only remaining parent too #so he imagines himself bringing back the rat from the dead while he's at joanie's grave #an obvious representation of his desire to be able to bring his mom back with the powers that killed her #then alamein starts to talk about how much he loves ET (and rocky wants to be loved) for his healing powers #so the next time we see rocky trying to use his magic after that is on leaf #but then he uses it on alamein #doing literally everything he can with the sparkler and the red jacket and the roller skates #to say i want to connect with you i want to be your son please forgive me #for killing her #sorry for what i did to mum #and it works. it works.

getting sad thinking about the dialects I would have known/spoken had it not been for the devaluation of “non-standard” variations of a language

#another reason why prescriptivism is the devil #it’s just. both my grandparents on my dad’s side speak/spoke dialects but they didn’t really pass them on to my dad bc it would have #hindered him in school. but bc he knows so little of them he doesn’t really feel connected to them either and didn’t pass the bits he does #know on to me either #also bc my mum is a prescriptivist with a capital letter and thinks dialects aren’t ‘good dutch’ #which. girl. you literally didn’t learn your ancestors’ (for lack of better word) dialect either #oh also. I didn’t learn the dialect of the city I was born in either bc we moved away before I could #elli rambles #it just. makes me sad #all this linguistic diversity harmed by standardisation and the idea that the only purpose of a language is to communicate with as many #people as possible. while it’s such an important part of culture too #etc etc sorry I’m rambling #languageposting #why is this getting notes

my mum died last night

#i was with her. i spoke comforting words to her as her breathing slowed #she didn't suffer - she wasn't in any pain. she heard me and became slower and slower then i... saw her die #i never predicted i'd be there at the moment of death #it was her time. her body had been slowly shutting down the last three days and she'd been officially dying for 5 months #she was so strong. she was hanging on for me. needing to know i'd be able to survive with her gone #once it was clear that things were gonna be fine (besides the emotional toll) she started to truly let go #i've been with her whenever i could be the last three days. and night nurses watched her as i slept #last nights nurse woke me to be with her in her final moments #besides hearing me talk the last few days - i was also running star trek for her to listen to #she couldn't communicate or move but we all knew she was aware of things around her #i gave her words of reassurance and comfort and the last words she heard me say were ''i love you'' #and three days ago before she lost the ability to speak the last words she managed were ''i love you'' #so things went as well as they could be considering the situation #she died a little over 12 hours ago. it was 7 hours before they could take the body away. that was. haunting #it's been a rough day. worst day of my life. but mum is at peace now. and i have a lot of kind people to support me #everything will be okay eventually and i have my whole life ahead of me and mum wants that life to be good #so i musn't give up. now matter how depressed i feel

is this ooc for kya and hakoda? yes but HEAR ME OUT neglected sokka

sokka seeing katara waterbend for the first time. sokka dragging katara back into their igloo like "mum! dad! look at this look at this!!!" and being so excited because his little sister is a waterbender, that's so cool, and his parents are making a really big deal about it and hurrying katara out to see the elders and sokkas falling a little bit behind but that's ok, because katara's a waterbender and they need to tell the elders

and so they host this celebration - nothing big because they may still get traders but they don't want this to go out to the fire nation - and hakoda and kya are doting over katara and making sure she's had enough to eat and everything and sokka... feels a little weird. he knows its kataras special day but he just feels a little lonely, but when he goes up to his parents they tell him they're busy, so he tells himself that he'll talk to them tomorrow.

but then the next day, his dad is in meetings all day - that are about katara, he gleans from gilak and bato, who look a little confused as to why sokka's alone - and when he goes to find his mum, she's with katara and she's watching her shakily try to bend on command, instead of by accident. so he goes up to her to say hi but she tells him that she's busy and not to distract her. sokka frowns because it doesn't look like she's doing anything and can't he say hi? but then katara loses concentration to say hi to sokka, and though his mum smiles at katara, she doesn't spare another glance at sokka.

which. is fine. he thinks. obviously life is different now that his little sister is a waterbender and he had sooo many adults tell him as such when their village celebrated it, so... it's fine. maybe it's just because his parents look a little worried, he thinks, as they sit down to eat before bed. they do look worried.

and then katara says that she's tired, and his parents wish her good night and their mum goes to tell her a bedtime story and it's exactly as it should be. except that sokkas still eating and they usually wait til both of them are in their cots before the story happens. so he tells her to wait while he quickly shovels his food into his mouth, and he thinks it's fine but then once he's eaten and moving towards his cot, he hears the end of the story

he pouts, saying that he wanted to hear it too, but his mum tells him not now, sokka. she sounds tired. he doesn't care, he wanted to hear it too. she sounds a little angry when she tells him to be quiet, because kataras sleeping, but he doesn't care, he wanted to hear the story and why didn't she wait? it's his dad that scolds him this time, telling him that katara needs her rest. sokka goes to say that he was only a few extra minutes, but he's shut down. his parents tell him that they won't be speaking to him when he's being so rude, and sokka doesn't understand but hes too tired so he cries in his cot before falling asleep.

the next morning, his dad isn't there and neither are katara and his mum. and he learns. he learns through his parents ignoring him when he asks a question and scolding him when he wants something that he's selfish. what else could he be, trying to put himself above his sister, who could be targeted by the fire nation (which he didn't originally know, he finds that out when his dad yells at him one day and, oh ok maybe he is being a bit selfish) and katara needs her parents more anyway because shes the only waterbender, she needs guidance in connecting to her culture and her history. he wonders whether it's technically his history too, but he doesn't ask. he stopped asking a while ago, stopped talking a while ago.

he thinks he hates katara a little. bato tilts his head and asks him why, when he tentatively tells him after the man prods and prods because "I haven't heard you speak for ages kid, you ok?", and sokka doesn't have an answer for him because he doesn't know why he hates katara but he doesn't want to hate her, it's just that his parents like her more cause she's a waterbender. bato tells him thats silly, of course his parents like him, and he ducks his head and mumbles an apology and doesn't notice the way bato frowns and glances over to gilak, who sports an equally worried frown.

the next day his dad takes him fishing. he's so excited but he's nervous too, he doesn't want to upset his dad and his dad is already looking at him weirdly that morning so he answers the questions his dad awkwardly pushes towards him and doesn't ask for help even when he can't get the bait on his hook, and eventually his dad takes the rod from him and does it for him, and he apologises but his dad looks at him weirdly again and so he doesn't speak again on the trip. but... it's nice. his dad claps him on the back everytime he catches a fish and he proudly displays his three fish to him at the end and gets a laugh for his efforts. so. it's nice.

the following week, there's a raid on their tribe. sokka runs towards their igloo, having lost katara in all the chaos. he pulls to a stop by the entrance, hearing his mum talking to some guy about the waterbender and... what is she doing?

he freezes. the man stomps out of their home, sees sokka and throws him aside. sokka doesn't feel the bruises til the next day, and when he does he doesn't care.

there's no point. he's got to take care of katara. that's his job now

#neglected sokka #inspired by the idea that sokka doesnt remember his mum and yeah that could be trauma blocking (which is valid if it is) but #consider #katara obvi thinks shes a good mum but we never get sokkas pov unless its his own guilt #again #i dont think this is actually the case #but its fun to think about #sokka #kya #hakoda #katara #bato and gilak being the mvps in this #gilak is innocent free my man he did nothing wrong #atla #BTW its important to me that you know #that kya was gonna take a step back and consider her actions too #but life got in the way #well #death in her case #but anyhoo #the issue ofc is that sokka doesnt know that kya wanted to apologise too #so #more trauma for him ig

Happy tenth birthday to book 2, and specifically, this Aric line:

because. No he didn't

#deadass this line doesn't amount to anything. you could say it refers to him killing his mother #but he didn't have an INVESTMENT in the war itself. he just rocked up after stabbing rhian mf didn't even know there was a war on #and also couldn't have been that. as I remember it's literally just a complete coincidence that he turns up to the School #so he didn't go there JUST to kill his mother #ergo. line makes no sense #lmao imagine stabbing some guy who was convinced he was the rightful king of Camelot #and then pulling up to that massive magical school that your mum works at (and your bf hates) #only to be met with the Literal Prince Of Camelot as the ruler of one of the schools #id be fucking hysterical #for all I clown on Aric he's constantly inadvertently the funniest character in the whole series #well done mate #aricposting #still hate him though #sge #school for good and evil #the school for good and evil #tsfgae #awwp

why does twisted wonderland portray Trein like he's old OLD?? He's only 58-- He's the same age as Madds Mikkelsen!!!

😭😭😭

#what decades of handling problematic boys do to a man-- #i was just listening to a few ABBA songs when i thought which character would love them. HE should at least be in the list. #he still looks fine. but DAMN #just what kind of stress crowley has been putting on you my good man. what things have you endured?? #I thought he was in his 70s-80s #even my mum thought he was around 65-70 years old #he could be one of the golden girls #damn he could've been wearing bell-bottoms jeans when he was young and danced to ABBA with his wife at the club for all i know #may not be time accurate but their songs are timeless and SHUSH LET ME DREAM #i'm just gonna listen to the whole album and imagine this old man in situations #mozus trein #twisted wonderland #kheyy's thoughts

Thinking about the time a dude came to the library and said he’d gotten into reading and had finished one book and wanted a recommendation for another so I put a reservation on A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara for him and then resigned before I witnessed the outcome of this decision 💀

#a little life #hanya yanagihara #librarian #libraries #i didn’t resign because of that but I just remembered I never got to find out how it went for him #he either loved it or learned trust issues idk #ngl I never gave good library recommendations #i recommended a murder mystery to a 11 year old and her mum rightfully dragged me #giving books reccs should’ve been the best part of the job except books I’d recommends does not equal books we actually have at the library #so it was often just glancing at shelves and quickly picking up what I could find

something about when el went into void and found billy, she saw him on the beach surrounded by sunshine and love and truly fucking actually happy. something about how when she turned around and saw the storm, she put her hands out and felt the ash falling from the sky, and then saw neil abusing billy and abusing his wife. something about how even in the monstrous world from another entire dimension, neil's still the fucking monster in the story

#idk how the upsidedown and the void and possession work and at this point i dont fucking care #actually something about how she said she saw a someone pretty and then saw a boy #and didnt even click it could be billy until she heard his name get called out #like i guess she wouldn't know what he looked like as a kid and all that #but like.... they knew billy was possessed by this stage like? #and when she was like 'im at the beach' and lucas was like '??? hawkins has no beaches???' #max was like 'tell us what else u see' so pretty sure she was picking up what was getting thrown down #whatever none if this matters!!! i was just clipping up that scene for gifs today and decided to not mute it for once #and was like oh this is actually like genuinely fucking sad #like????? the fact billys hiding out in his memories??? except he cant actually live in just his happiest memory #cos even in his happiest memory #he asks to stay at the beach just a little longer #and his mum hesitates before giving in but still says if they're late then neil'll be mad #also the fact even his happiest memory is still surrounded by some of his most heart wrenching memories #like he can't remember the good without the bad #like his mind physically cant think about the one day on the beach were he caught a 7 foot wave #without remembering the fact that his mum fucking left #cant do this rn sorry guys im fucking emo #m #text

very busy today being incredibly autistic (spending hours untangling one single plant and really enjoying it)

#I've only freed 4 out of 20-ish strands so far #but I'm getting there #it's a string of hearts btw in case that means anything to anybody lmao #anyway I was supposed to visit a castle but that didn't happen #then my next plan was to go sit at a lake but it's cloudy and windy #and also I decided having a pyjama day where I get to stay at home for the first time in over half a year is also a good idea #sorry mum for not visiting for one day when I absolutely could but I'm busy enjoying untangling a plant

Ngh... I thought I found a book in German to give to my parents to explain Audhd/AD(H)D and Autism (you don't know how hard it is to actually find German books or at least German translations about that topic... especially ones that aren't 5+ years old).

The first few chapters in the ADHD part were great, just one word kinda rubbed me wrong: The author described ADHD as an "illness".

A few chapters in and now we're at a full blown "five weeks to success - declaring war on [your] ADHD".

It's just... what she writes isn't wrong, but the way she portraits it is as if you have cancer or something and you just have to keep staying strong, work on yourself and get treatment and soon you will be normal again!

That's my brain, m'am! Not a tumor!

It's just giving me the heebie jeebies reading through this. Even if she, as I said, doesn't actually say wrong things as far as I can tell. Just the whole framing is off...

(I'll still read through this and there are a few tips I want to try out but I'm definitely not going to give that book to my parents thank you very much...)

#audhd #adhd #autism #it's really frustrating to find even current articles in German #and my parents DO speak English #but mostly for vacation related purposes #especially my mum's not good with it #otherwise I could rec her a lot more (fiction) books

how many breakdowns should you have about dropping out before you seriously consider dropping out. asking for a friend teehee

#shock horror. i am not asking for a friend #turns out going to uni bc you had no idea what else to do + taking a course you’re mostly interested in bc you like space #is not necessarily a good idea. who would have thought #see the thing is if this didn’t cost money i wouldn’t be so worried. but i don’t want to keep having this breakdown and eventually drop out #in like a year’s time with twice the amount of debt or whatever #rn now i keep looking on indeed like hmm. i could totally drive trains that would be an amazing idea. driving a milk float!! so slay!! #bc i realised shortly after getting here that i do not want to do a phd which basically rules out any astrophysics jobs #my mum suggested looking at summer placements but quite frankly i need to get a job over summer if i stick with my degree bc i am ✨broke✨ #rn i’m saying shit like oh i’ll just write a book and get it published. totally feasible way to make some quick cash (delusional)(knows it) #november has been hell i do not have a draft let alone a book #and i’m tired and i haven’t had a proper meal since thursday and my room is a tip #i‘ve had like three conversations with my friends in the past fortnight and none of them lasted longer than five minutes #i was so fucking excited for uni!! it was going to be so good!! i feel bad for wanting to drop out bc i don’t hate it!! #i just don’t really like it either #god fucking damn it. this shit is worse than a sexuality crisis. at least they had zero real world impact bc i was an antisocial fucker #this is the rest of my fucking life!! the hell!!

reminder that dominic monaghan is exceptionally nice smelling

#i remember my mum being baffled and saying to me ''i didn't know men could smell that good'' #it was stunning. and no i can't describe it because it wasn't a specific scent it was literally just him #it wasn't cologne or aftershave or perfume because i would have been able to tell that. all those things have a chemically undertone #its different to human smells. this was just dom's natural scent and it was gorgeous #so. yeah. good for him! and anybody he's with #knowing this increases my attraction to charlie. especially cuz. well. he be sweating a lot on that island... ahem... #no i did not Sniff dominic monaghan. but i did hug him for 7 seconds. and i have to breathe #plus my mum was standing like three feet away from him and she noticed too (australia is hot). so Yeah #i don't sniff celebrities but i take notice of this kinda thing
