#i'm so tired of this shit i wanna live somewhere else

[pykxz]

hi.

you're on a rock floating in space.

pretty cool, huh?

some of it's water.

fuck it, actually most of it's water.

i can't even get from here to there without buying a boat.

it's sad.

i'm sad.

i miss you.

how did this happen?

a long time ago, actually never, and also now, nothing is nowhere.

when?

never.

makes sense, right?

like i said, it didn't happen.

nothing was never anywhere.

that's why it's been everywhere.

it's been so everywhere you don't need a where.

you don't even need a when.

that's how every it gets.

forget this.

i wanna be something.

go somewhere.

do something.

i want things to change.

i want to invent time and space.

and i know it's possible because everything is here and it probably already happened.

i just don't know when to start.

and that's exactly where it started.

whoah, i paused it.

i think there's a universe now.

what's it made of?

quarks & stuff

ah, that's a thing.

in a place.

don't like it?

try a new place.

at a different time™.

try to stick together, because the world is gonna get bigger.

and emptier.

but it's not empty yet.

it's still very full, and about a kjghpillion degrees.

great news!

the quarks are now happily married, in groups of three called a proton or a neutron

and there's something else flying around too that wants to join in but can't cause it's still too

HOT great news!

the protons and neutrons are now happily married to each other.

and some of them even doubled up.

great news, the electrons have now joined in

congratulations, the world is now a bunch of gas in space.

but it's getting closer together.

and it's getting closer together.

and it's getting closer toge-

it's a star

new shit just got made!

some stars burn out and die.

bigger stars burn out and die with passion, and make some brand new, way crazier shit.

space dust

which allows newer, more interesting stars to be made, and then die, and explode into

even crazier space dust

so now stars have cool stuff around them, like rocks, ice, and funny clouds, which can make some very interesting things.

like this ball of flaming rocks for example.

holy shit, we just got hit with another ball of flaming rocks.

and it kind of made a mess.

which is

now the moon

weather update:

it's raining rocks from outer space.

weather update:

those rocks might have had water inside them, and now there's hot steam in the sky.

weather update:

cooler temperatures today, and the floor is no longer lava.

weather update:

it's raining.

severe flooding alert:

the entire world is now an ocean.

volcano alert:

that's land!

there's life in the ocean

what?

something's alive in the ocean

oh cool, like a plant or an animal?

no, a microscopic speck.

it lives at the bottom of the ocean and eats chemical soup, which is being served hot and fresh, made from gnarly space ingredients left over from when it was raining rocks or whatever.

oh yeah, and it can do that.

it has secret instructions written inside itself telling it how to build another one of itself.

so that's pretty nifty, i would say.

tired of living at the bottom of the ocean?

now you can eat sunlight!

using a revolutionary technique, you can convert sunlight into food

taste the sun

side effect: now there's oxygen everywhere and the sky's blue.

then the earth might have been a snowball for a while, maybe even a couple of times.

it's a sponge.

it's a plant.

it's a worm, and some other types of weird strange water bugs and strange fish.

it's the Cambrian explosion

"wow, that's animals and stuff"

but we're still in the ocean, hey, can we go on land?

no

why?

the sun is a deadly lazer

oh okay.

not anymore, there's a blanket

now the animals can go on land.

come on, animals, let's go on land!

nope, can't walk yet.

and there's no food yet, so i don't care.

ok, will you learn to walk if there's plants up here?

maybe, said some bugs, and fish.

ok, so i can go on land, but i have to go back in the water to

have babies

learn to use an egg.

i was already doing that.

use a stronger egg.

put water in it.

have a baby, on land, in an egg.

water is in the egg.

baby, in the egg, in the water, in the egg.

works for me.

bye bye ocean

and now everything's huge.

including bugs.

wanna see a map of the land?

sure.

oh fuck, now everything's dead.

just kidding, here are the survivors.

keep your eye on this one because it's about to become the dinosaurs.

here's another map of the land.

yeah, it broke apart, don't worry about it, it does that all the time.

here comes a meteor.

and the dinosaurs are gone

it's mammal time, here come the mammals.

look at those breasts.

now they're gonna dominate the world and one of them just learned how to grab stuff.

and walk.

no, like, walk like that.

and grab stuff at the same time.

and bang rocks together to make pointed rocks.

"ouch"

and set things on fire.

"yeouch"

and make crazy sounds with their voice.

"gneurshk"

which can mean different things.

that's a human person

and now they're everywhere.

almost.

ice age

what, you can walk over here?

cool.

not anymore

well i guess we're stuck here now.

let's review.

there's people on the planet.

and they're chasing their food.

fuck it, time to plant some grass.

look at this.

i control the food now.

now everyone will want to be my friend and live near me.

let's all build houses except mine is bigger because i own the food.

this is great, i wonder if anyone else is doing this.

tired of using rocks for everything?

use metal.

it's underground.

better farming was just invented, in a sweet dank valley right in between these two rivers.

and the animals are helping.

guess what happens next

more food.

and more people who came to buy the food.

now you need people to help make the food and keep track of the sales.

and now you need houses for people to live in and people to make the houses, and now there's more people and they invent things, which makes things better and more people come and there's more farming and more people to make more things for more people and now there's business, money, writing, laws, power.

Society

coming soon to a dank river valley near you.

meanwhile, out in the middle of nowhere, the horse is probably being tamed.

why is all my metal so lame and lumpy?

tired of using lame, sad metal?

introducing

Bronze

made with special ingredient tin from the far lands of tin land.

i don't know, my dealer won't tell me where he gets it.

also, guess what?

egypt

meanwhile, out in the middle of nowhere, they figured out how to put wheels on a horse.

now we're getting somewhere.

also

china

and did i mention

indus river valley civilization

norte chico

the middle east is getting more complicated, maybe because it's in the middle of the east.

knock knock, er, clop clop.

it's the people with the horses.

and they made an empire.

and then everyone else copied their horses.

greeks

ah look, it must be the greeks, er, a beta version of the greeks.

let's check in with the indus river valley civilization.

they're gone.

guess who's not gone?

china

new arrivals in india, maybe it's those horse people i was talking about, or their cousins or something

and they wrote some hymns and mantras and stuff

you could make a religion out of this.

there's the bronze age collapse.

now the phoenicians can get down to business

also, can we switch to a metal that's a little easier to find?

thanks.

look who came back to israel, it's the twelve tribes of israel.

and they believe in God

just 1 though, he's got like a ten step program.

here's some huge heads.

must be the olmecs.

the phoenicians make some colonies.

the greeks copy their idea and make some colonies.

the phoenicians made a colony so big it makes colonies.

here comes the assyrian empire.

never mind, it's the babylonian- median-

it's the Persian Empire

"wow, that's big"

ah, the buddha was just enlightened.

who's the buddha?

this guy, who sat under a tree for so long that he figured out how to ignore the fact that we're all dying.

you could make a religion out of this.

oops, china just broke, but while it was breaking, confucius was figuring out how to have good morals.

ah, the greeks just had the idea of thinking about stuff.

and right over here, alexander just had the idea of conquering the entire persian empire.

it's a great idea.

he was great.

and now he's dead.

hopefully the rest of the gang will be able to share the empire evenly between them.

knock knock, it's chandragupta, he says get the hell out of here.

will you get the hell out of here if i give you 500 elephants?

ok thanks, bye

time to conquer all of india

or

most of india

but what about this part?

that's the tamil kings, no one conquers the tamil kings.

who are the tamil kings?

merchants, probably

and they've got spices

who would like to buy the spices?

me, said the arabians, swiftly buying it and selling it to the rest of the world.

hey, china put itself back together again, with good morals as their main philosophy.

actually, they have three main philosophies.

out here, the horse nomads run wild and free, and they would like to ransack your city.

let's check the greekification levels of the greekified kingdoms.

greekification overload!

bye, said the parthians.

bye, said the jews.

hi, said the parthians, taking over the entire place.

heyyyyyyyy, said the romans, eating the entire mediterranean for breakfast.

thanks for invading our homeland, said the jews, who were starting to get tired of people invading their homeland.

hi, everything's great, said some guy who seems to be getting very popular and is then arrested and killed for being too popular, which only makes him more popular.

you could make a religion out of this.

want silk?

now you can buy it from china.

they just made a

brand new road to the world

or you can

get there on water

sick! new trade routes! said india, accidentally spreading their religion to the entire southeast.

hmm, that's a good place for an epic trading kingdom.

there goes buddhism traveling up the silk road.

i wonder if it'll reach china before it collapses again.

remember the persian empire?

yep, said the persians, making a new one.

axum is getting so powerful they would like to build a long stick.

has anyone populated madagascar yet?

let's do it together.

china is whole again

then it broke again

still can't cross the sahara desert?

try camels.

hell yeah! now we've got business

said the ghana empire, selling lots of gold, and slaves

hi, i live in the roman empire, and i was wondering

is loving jesus legal yet?

no.

actually, ok, sure, said constantine, moving the capital way over here to be closer to his

main rival

don't worry about rome, it won't fall.

it's the golden age of india

there's the gupta empire, not chandragupta, just gupta.

first name chandra.

the first.

guess who's in rome?

barbarians

what's a barbarian?

non-romans, said the romans, being invaded by non-romans.

r.i.p., roman empire, er, actually just half of it, the other half is just fine, but it's not in rome anymore so let's give it a new name.

the mayans have figured out the stars

oh and here's a huge city, population: everyone

the göktürks have taken over the entire eurasian steppe.

great job, göktürks.

how's india?

broken.

how's china?

back together

how's those trading kingdoms?

bigger, and there's more of them

korea has 3 kingdoms.

japan has a kingdom, it's the sunrise kingdom.

deep in the arabian desert, on the top of a mountain, the real god whispers in muhammed's ear.

so he goes down to the cube where everyone worships gods and he tells them their gods are all fake.

and everyone got so mad at him that he had to leave town and go to a different town.

you could make a religion out of this.

and maybe conquer the world as well.

the roman empire is long gone, but somehow the pope is still the pope.

plus there's

new kingdoms all over europe

i wonder if there's room for moors.

here's all the wisdom.

in a house.

it's the baghdad house of wisdom.

just in time for the

islamic golden age

let's bring stuff to the coast and sell it, and become the swahili on the swahili coast, said the swahili on the swahili coast.

remember this tiny space you have to go through to get from here to there?

someone owns that now.

wanna get enlightened in the middle of nowhere?

the franks have the biggest kingdom in europe, and the pope is so proud that he invites the king over for christmas.

surprise! you're the new roman emperor, said the pope, pretending to still be part of the roman empire.

then the franks broke their kingdom into what will later be called france and not france.

but the northerners, or just norse if you don't have much time, are exploring.

they go north, from the north to the northern north.

and they find some land.

two types of land.

and they name them accordingly.

they also invade some other places, and get called many names, such as vikings.

there's the rus.

the kievan rus.

are they vikings?

i don't think so, said the kievan rus.

ok, fair enough.

the pope is ready to make some more emperors.

of the "roman empire".

the holy roman empire.

it's actually germany but don't worry about it.

new kingdoms.

christianize all the kingdoms

which brand would you like?

mine's better.

mine's better.

mine's better.

time to conquer england, said william.

it's a bird, it's a plane

it's the seljuk turks

aah! said the byzantine empire who's getting so small and almost doesn't exist anymore.

we need help!

they need help, so they call the pope.

hey pope, can you help us get rid of the seljuks?

maybe take back the holy land on the way?

come on, i know you want to take back the holy land.

yes, i do actually want to do that.

let's do a crusade.

crusade

they did many crusades, some of which almost didn't fail.

but at least the italians got some sweet trade deals.

goodbye mayans.

hello toltecs

goodbye toltecs.

hello mississippi

look at those mounds.

there's the pueblo.

i always wondered how to build a town in a cliff.

guess who's here?

khmer.

where?

here.

and pagan is there.

vietnam unconquered itself, korea just became itself, and japan is so addicted to art that the military might have to take over the government.

china just invented bombs, and typing.

and the mongols just invaded most of the universe.

nice going, Genghis!

i bet that will last a long time.

some of the islamic turks were unaffected by the mongol invasions because they were busy invading india.

is it tonga time?

i think it's tonga time.

i just found out where the swahili gets all their gold.

look at this chad.

means "lake".

there's an empire there.

right in the middle of

Africa

the king of mali is so rich he's going on tour to let everyone know.

wow, that guy's rich, everyone said.

the christians are doing a great job reconquering iberia, which will soon be called spain and not spain.

please remain christian.

we will check in later to see if you're still christian when you least expect.

whoops, half of europe just died.

ming

china's back, yay!

hey khmer, time to share.

new kingdoms here and there.

oh, look who controls all the islands.

it's the mahajapit.

majahapit.

mapajahit.

mahapajit.

mapajahit.

majapahit?

oh, italy's really rich, time for them to care a lot about art and the ancient classics.

it's kinda like a rebirth.

here's a printer.

let's make books.

so you think you can conquer the byzantine empire?

yep, said the ottoman turks.

nice job, ottoman turks.

whoops, you missed a spot.

don't forget to ban europe from the indian spice trade.

what? that's bullshit, said portugal, spiceless.

well i guess we'll have to find another way to india

wait! said christopher columbus, probably smoking crack.

if the world is round, let's go this way to india.

nah, don't worry, we already got this, said portugal.

so chris goes to spain.

hey spain, wanna hire me to find india by going around back of the world?

no.

please?

no.

please?

no.

please?

ok.

so he sails into the ocean.

and discovers more ocean.

and then discovers the indies.

and japan.

let's draw a line to decide who gets which half of the world.

the aztec and inca empires are off to a great start.

i wonder if they know that europe just discovered their continent?

the habsburgs are marrying into so many royal families they might have to start marrying each other.

move over lithuania, here comes moscow.

ivan wants to make russia great again.

move over timurids, maybe go invade india or something.

persia just made persia persian again.

let's make it the other kind of islam.

the one where we thought the first guy should have been the other guy.

hey christians!

do you sin?

now you can buy your way out of hell.

that's bullshit.

this whole thing is bullshit.

that's a scam.

fuck the church.

here's 95 reasons why, said martin luther, in his new book, which might have accidentally started the protestant reformation.

you know what would be magnificent, said suleiman, wearing an onion hat?

what if the ottoman empire was really big?

which it is now.

what if russia was big? said ivan, trying not to be terrible.

portugal had a dream that they controlled the entire indian ocean, including the spice trade.

and then that dream was real.

and spain realized that this is not india, but they pillaged it anyway.

damn, said england and france.

we gotta start pillaging some stuff.

then the dutch revolt and all the hipsters move to amsterdam.

damn, said amsterdam.

we gotta start pillaging some stuff.

question 1: can you get to india through north america?

no, but at least there's beaver.

question 2: steal the spice trade.

that's not a question, but the dutch did it anyway.

sugar

guess where all the sugar's made?

in brazil.

stolen

and the caribbean.

and it's so god damn profitable you might forget to not do slavery.

the next thing on russia's to-do list is to get bigger.

britain and france are having a friendly discussion about who should control the entire world.

more specifically, ohio.

then it escalates into a seven year discussion, giving prussia a chance to show austria who's boss.

but what about britain and france, did they figure out who's boss?

yes they did.

it's britain.

guess who's broke?

also britain.

so they start taxing the hell out of america.

fuck you, says america, declaring their independence, and fighting for it.

and france helps them win, now france is broke.

and britain'll have to send their prisoners to a different continent.

wait, if france is broke, why do the king and queen still wear such fancy dresses?

let's overthrow the palace and cut all their heads off! said robespierre, cutting everybody's head off until someone eventually got mad and cut his head off.

you could make a reli- no, don't.

haiti is staring to like the idea of a revolution.

especially the slaves, who free themselves by killing their masters.

why didn't we think of this before?

wait, who's in charge of france now?

me

said napoleon, trying to take over europe.

luckily, they banished him to an island.

but he came back

luckily, they banished him to another island.

there goes latin america, becoming independent in the latin american wars of independence.

britain just figured out how to turn steam into power.

so now they can make

many different types of machines and factories with machines in them so they can make a lot of products real fast

then they invent some trains.

and conquer india and maybe put some trains there.

hey, china! said britain.

buy stuff from us!

nah dude, we already got everything, says china.

so britain tried to get them addicted to opium.

which worked, actually.

but then china made it illegal and dumped it all into the sea.

so britain threw a hissy fit, and made them open up five cities and give them an island.

britain and russia are playing a game where they try to stop each other from conquering afghanistan.

also, the

sultan of oman lives in zanzibar now

"that's just where he lives"

india just had a revolution, and they would like to govern themselves now.

nope, said britain, governing them even harder than before.

technology is about to go crazy

the united states finally figured out whether slavery is good or bad.

it's bad, they decided.

and then they continued manifesting their destiny, which is to kill the rest of the natives and take their land and maybe kick out the mexicans too.

i know, let's rape africa, said europe, scrambling to see who could rape it the fastest.

they never got ethiopia

britain and france are still hungry.

they never got thailand

the united states ran out of destiny to manifest, so they're looking for more.

hawaii

cuba

wait, spain controls cuba.

well, blame something on them and go to war!

what should we blame on spain?

let's blame the maine on spain.

so they blame the maine on spain.

now we're in business.

to celebrate, they kick panama out of panama and make a canal, connecting the two oceans.

britain just found oil in the middle east.

it makes cars go

china is so tired of being bossed around that they delete their old government and make a new, stronger government, which is accidentally weaker and controlled by a guy from the previous government.

europe hasn't had a war since the last war.

so they start world war 1.

look at those guns.

it's gonna be a great war.

so great we won't need a second one.

after it's over, they blame germany.

russia went on strike and the workers overthrew the government.

now everyone's paycheck is the same.

communism

in the soviet union

the arabs revolt and britain helps.

now the ottoman empire's gone so we can give the

jewish people a place to live

hopefully the arabs won't mind.

let's cut the cake, said sykes and picot, carving up the remains of the not-so-ottoman-anymore empire.

except turkey, turkey makes a brand new turkey

and then the saudis conquer arabia.

it just seemed like the right thing to do.

hello?

yes, it's the 1920's calling.

let's get in the car and drive to a party and listen to jazz on the radio and go to the movies.

the economy's great and it'll probably be great forever, just kidding.

germany's back, featuring hitler, the angry mustache model.

and he's mad at the jews for existing.

japan is finally conquering the east, and they're so excited they rape nanking way too hard.

they should probably just deny it.

hitler's out of control.

so the international community tackles him and then tries to explain why killing all the jews is a bad idea.

but he kills himself before they could explain it to him.

that's world war 2

bonus round!

pacific showdown.

united states vs. japan.

fight!

finish him

let's unite all the nations and have some

world peace

seems legit.

hi, i'm gandhi, and if britain doesn't get the hell out of india, i'm gonna starve myself in public.

wow, that worked?

bonus, now there's pakistan.

actually two pakistans.

one of them can be bangladesh later.

the jews and the arabs finally figured out which one of them should live in the holy land.

me, they both said at the same time.

let's divide up the land so everyone's happy.

sike, they both get angrier

look out china, there's a new china in china.

what's on the menu?

communism!

no thanks, said the other china, escaping to an island.

i wonder which one is the real china?

there's the korean war, korea versus korea.

nobody wins, then it's on pause forever.

let's meet the sponsors.

oh, it's the two global superpowers.

they're having a friendly debate over which economic system is good, and which one is an evil virus of Satan.

and they both have atom bombs.

fight!

wait, no, that would be the end of the world.

let's just keep it cool and spy on each other instead.

and make sure we have enough atom bombs.

i'll race you to space.

now let's make some more countries fight themselves.

europe is tired of pillaging other continents, so the continents they were pillaging are tired of being pillaged.

so here's a new map, with new countries.

now you can't tell who they're being pillaged by.

the united states finally decided whether racism is good or bad.

they decided it's bad, and the world agrees.

south africa might need another minute to think about it.

let's check the world population.

whoa.

okay.

technology's better too, that might keep happening.

the soviet union decides to relax a little, and accidentally falls apart.

europe makes a union, so now they can all use the same money, except britain, because they don't feel like it.

let's check the mail.

surprise, it's on the computer.

whoops, someone just attacked america.

i bet they'll remember that.

phone call.

surprise, it's in your pocket.

wanna learn everything?

surprise, it's on the computer.

now your phone's a computer, which is in your pocket.

whoops, the economy just crashed.

don't worry, the big banks won't fail because they're not supposed to.

surprise!

flying robots.

with bombs.

wanna print a brain?

some people have no friends.

some people have no food.

the globe is warming

and the ocean is full of plastic

let's save the planet! said everybody, not knowing how.

let's invent a thing inventor, said the thing inventor inventor, after being invented by a thing inventor.

that's pretty cool.

by the way, where the hell are we?

Persephone Lost Herself To Marriage

⚠️ Warning: I'm just saying my opinions (and theories) like everyone else. So put your tin foil hats on, it's going to be a LONG read. Enjoy!!!⚠️

• The Realization

This was/is a cry for help. She's finally admitted something that we (some of us) already noticed. The fact that she's so worried about her blue corpse of a man's feelings, while in denial about killing hundreds if not thousands of mortals in seconds...is nasty work. Like okay you don't know yourself, good we are getting somewhere. But are you willing to change your ways like finally admitting that your Mom was right, Minthe was right (about you and your man), Zeus was right (where he says they didn't know each other long), finally realize your selfish and a murderer, etc. Like I wanna see the change, not this boohoo act. And speaking of Demeter, she is a little bit at fault for why Persephone acts like this. If she would've told her about being a FG, teach her how to defend herself, help her control her powers or help make her own decisions, none of this wouldn't happen. Now Persephone (this her own fault here)is trapped with guilt, a blu gru, and a whole population of shades coming in. Once this is over, I pray to God that she wakes up, and leave that man, live in the mortal realm, and hopefully come to terms/works on herself to know who she is because her being a Queen is not one of them.

•Hades Is Her Downfall

This man never loved her. He wanted to sleep with her knowing he had a girlfriend (Minthe at the time) and when she was only 19 years old !!!(smdh 🤢😒), somehow he shows up in her nightmare saying, "I Know That I Can Smell Your Ambitions As They Rot At Your Feet.", he didn't let Persephone tell him what happened, lies about everything, disrespects Demeter, never gave Thanatos a real apology, never actually going to therapy, etc, need I say more? This man genuinely hates powerful women. He sabotaged Demeter's right to rule the mortal realm, gets angry when women stand up for themselves, preys on the vulnerable and young, dangles money over them, had an affair with Hera behind his brothers back, etc, and Persephone still thinks he's husband material... chile. Like how come she doesn't see those horrible qualities and notice that he brings out the worst in her? Real men don't treat women like this. To be fair, that first genocide she caused was all her fault, like yes they were playing in her face, but she didn't need to start killing people. But you know what she did, she was willing to help the shades get into the Underworld (and he was mad about that 😒). Now we're on to our second genocide, and this man was the cause of this as well (mostly her fault but still). The fact he said "I can't stop her from trying." Like yes you can Blunocchio 🙄. I'm so tired of him, and his evil ways. Persephone really needs to understand that man was never in her corner, and if he was, he would've left her alone from the very beginning. The lesson is don't EVER let a man be your downfall and try to make you feel powerless. If he can't take how powerful you are, he was never the one and he's an insecure a**hole.

• There Was Always Someone

Hydros tried to warn Gaia

People thought Rhea was stupid for loving Kronos

Probably someone close to the Missing Goddess tried to warn her

Demeter warned Persephone

Do we see the pattern? Constantly losing yourself in love with abusive men, getting your powers drained because they wanted to prove that they were worth loving, and trying to prove the haters wrong (looking at you author)? Well, yes. Persephone had her twenties to look forward to (school, TOGEM, and starting her future), but made a man child the #1 priority. Had her thirties (self reflection, getting her shit together, realize she can do bad by herself.), but still managed to keep him in the #1 priority slot, instead of her and her own mother. Like does she not get that her mom is her real best friend? These fertility goddesses (excluding Metis 🤢) wish that they would've listened to those people/or families, and saw from their point of view that their men weren't no good, and go from there. Like did Persephone ever think about what Zeus told her ( his back story about what happened to Rhea), nope. Just ignored it because she never listens, and loves finding out the hard way 🙄😒. If the author wanted a real ('cause let's be honest, it's not) feminist retelling, she could've had Persephone look at the fertility goddesses differently, Seeing there struggles, learn that Demeter just didn't want to see her get hurt, and walk away from him (but in a perfect world I guess 🫤). Remember y'all there is always someone in your corner that is looking out for you and/or showing they love you.

• Persephone's Fate

Until she starts listening to the right people, know how to think for herself, and realize that man ain't crap, she's doomed. Years from now, she's going to be trapped in a marriage full of regrets and shattered dreams, sparkling and useless if you will. Hades will continue to use and abuse her. Hell, wouldn't be surprised if he started cheating on her like he cheated on Minthe. Also, wouldn't be shocked if she becomes the next Hera, after all she was just her stand in. Hades would take most of her powers, someone defeats him, and puts him in prison somewhere, she starts seeing him, and no one else can. Would that be something? I mean he was in her dreams telling her that her ambitions will rot. Also people wouldn't want to come around her, and she gotta live with that for the rest of her life. Demeter, lasion, and her son living life to the fullest, so who can she call? She is stuck in a tragic cautionary tale of a fertility goddess. Someone that wanted to prove the haters wrong, wanted to be worthy of loving, and a victim of a man's abuse and manipulations.

[itsgrimeytime]

When it rains... || Rick Grimes (TWD)

And there it was.

The rain poured down from the skies, heavy and unrelentless -as a deep rumble echoed through the ground.

You'd been on a mini-run with Rick, he'd only let a few out of the camp -shelter was weak, and everyone was on the move. He didn't want to expose more than he needed to, and you frankly refused to let him go alone.

"Shit," he muttered, the door barely ajar -lighting up his face ever-so-slightly to the pouring rain.

In the normal world, rain hardly meant anything. But in this one, where treatment was desolate and sickness was easily aggressively excelled, it was a deal breaker.

You paused, fingers trailing along the dirty but intact windows -watching the rain spill down the glass, "Think it'll pass through?"

Rick bit his lip, shaking his head -eyes heavy on the pouring rain outside, "Looks too heavy to go anywhere now."

"Shit," you agreed, hearing the heavy downpour, "-you think we can stay here?"

"We 'ave to," he answered, sighing and rubbing along the bridge of his nose -worried.

"Hey, hey," you rushed up to him, rubbing your hands down his arms -hoping any sort of comfort would come from it, "-I'm sure they're fine. Daryl would've found a shelter, at least for the night."

Rick sighed, leaning his head forward to rest on your shoulder. You could feel the gentle puffs of air blooming across your skin from where he breathed -it made your heart beat just a touch faster.

Ever since the run-in with the Claimers, he'd been on edge -a ruthless edge. He hadn't let you so much as move from his side for weeks, never mind Judith and Carl.

"You always kno' the right thin' to say," he mumbled against your skin, as your fingers trailed to his hair -combing through the mess.

Part of you wished that you could take care of him like he so often took care of everyone else. You tried your best when you could get him to focus on anything but shelter, food, water, and safety.

You'd always hoped it helped.

"I try," you smiled, bringing up your other hand to brush over his scalp. Mindlessly counting the breaths he took against your skin, you dusted your fingers over his shoulders -detailing the stitching on his jacket.

He pushed into you just a little more, and you faltered in your step -tone light, "Rick, you wanna go somewhere more comfortable?"

He let out a low hum against your skin -lips brushing against the fabric of your shirt, you felt some goosebumps erupt in its place. Even now, he still affected you.

"Yeah," he finally replied, sitting up from your shoulder with a soft gaze steady in his eyes -he looked tired. So very tired.

You frowned, holding up your hands to the sides of his face -focusing his attention on you, "Have you been sleeping?"

"'Been tryin' to."

You sighed, leaning up to press a kiss on his cheek -slowly retracting your hands to link one with his own. He absent-mindedly rubbed his thumb along the back of your palm, almost like a reassurance that you were there. Remembering a couch in the living room that had looked untouched by the outside world, you guided him behind you.

Without so much as an extra thought you laid down on the cushions -hand still loosely intertwined with his, you tugged gently. He was so soft then, so vulnerable that he merely followed the motion. Like putty in your hands, he trusted you.

You smiled, as he laid on top of you, head neatly on your chest -your fingers trailing through his curls, sorting out some knots with the gentlest of brushes. This was a special sort of occasion.

Sometimes, when the world would get too loud and all he could do was worry -he'd asked for this. And when you'd asked why this position specifically, he answered -tone muffled and tired but all too fond.

"I can hear your heartbeat, I know y'er alive."

You whispered, barely a breath -hoping to instill it into his head, soothe the worries that creased his brow, "I'm not going anywhere, Rick."

He scooted up, placing his lips on your collarbone -sweet, gentle, and domestic, "I kno', sweetheart."

You laughed a bit at the sensation, a familiar buzz echoing down your spine -as it always had done with Rick. Even before all this, when he'd just placed a hand on your shoulder and told you the plan for the day, or gently held your wrist to keep you from stepping forward on a run. (He always insisted to go first.) You still felt a sort of spark there, untamed and timid, but enough for you to know what it meant.

Rick only grinned at the nose, stubble tickling the exposed skin of your neck as he pressed more there. Only chaste ones that merely last a moment, gently moving your chin with his fingers (calloused from the days work) to get better access to each inch of skin.

You hummed at the affection, trying desperately to savor something so domestic, as your time dwindled. Being on the move meant fewer quiet moments like these, and being in the apocalypse had practically erased the idea of domesticity in your head. So, this was special, you'd try to remember it clearly.

And suddenly, Rick peeked up at you -through hazy blue eyes and a fond smile on his face that made your head spin just a smidge even today. A certain look you knew trailed there, you would've merely laughed at the circumstances if his face hadn't fallen rather serious.

"I love you."

Lips twitching up into a smile, you moved your hands to hold his face -carefully tracing some of the scars you could see there, "Do you, now? Or is that just because we're stuck here for the next few hours together?"

Rick rolled his eyes, leaning into your palms with rested ease and kissing them -like they were the most precious thing in the world. Like you were the most precious thing in the world.

"I love you too," you whispered back, as if the moment in front of you was breakable -blue eyes held on you like it was where they were supposed to be like they fit there.

He grinned, a teasing kind of smirk smoothing across his face -and you found that maybe the night wouldn’t be empty, "Thought so."

16/DEC/20XX

𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘬.

i hit the floor like a sack of bricks.

this time, of my own volition.

i pushed myself upright, choosing to ignore where my head had apparently been this whole time.

rolled onto my side (landing on the floor) to stop my phone's ringtone from waking tori.

i quietly stepped into her bathroom to muffle the sound,

" 'sup?"

"Are you..."

before i realized i'd enabled my camera in my barely-awake stupor.

"...At Toriel's?"

a "shit." stumbled out of my mouth as i slapped my hand over the camera. i let my hand drop a second after, as this was now pointless.

alphys snorted at my reaction.

"Sooooooo?"

with the intonation of someone trying to elicit more information.

"you first. you called me."

"My reason was 𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘺𝘺 more boring than whatever's going on here."

"So you're spending the night?"

"Tell me about that."

"tell me why you called, first."

"I was just gonna ask if the device was working properly."

"seems to be."

i tried not to linger on the memory of what was happening seconds prior to it going off yesterday.

"Anyway. What are you two up to?"

"Having fun with your 'sleepover'?"

"don't put air quotes on it. sleeping's been most of the activity."

she raised an eyebrow.

"nothing else to it."

"So did this just happen or did you plan a sleepover?"

"kinda just went from magic demonstration to this."

"you already heard about how undyne's went, right?"

"pretty tiring."

"ended up conking out here instead."

"And you just decided to stay?"

"yep. she's got a real comfortable couch, y'know."

"I'm sure that's the only reason. Mhm."

"sofa's just that nice."

"say, how'd you immediately know i wasn't just in my room or something?"

"I know you sleep in boxers. Currently, you're fully clothed, so I knew you weren't home."

"You're most certainly not 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦."

"fair point."

"anyway. i'm gonna go back to this couch sleepover."

"seeya, nerd."

"Tell me more about it later!!"

"nope."

——

quietly returning to the living room, i checked to see if she was still asleep.

tori was hugging the pillow i'd not ended up using for more than a few hours last night.

i tiptoed to the kitchen with one goal in mind:

eggs.

eggs are something that even a shabby cook like me can (hopefully) do.

ideally, they'll be omelettes.

really, they're probably ending up scrambled.

——

didn't hear her get close, finally noticing she was awake when she put her hands on my shoulders.

her face met mine when i looked up.

"Good morning, Sans."

"mornin'."

"you like cheese in your omelettes?"

"I do."

she looked at the pan.

"...That is an omelette?"

"sorry."

"𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦-in' you down with my cooking skills, here."

"I do not mind. Omelette or no, it will be 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴-tra special coming from you."

"do you have tortillas? could make 'em into wraps instead."

"Oh! We should, somewhere."

"I have bacon bits we can throw in as well!"

"bacon bits?"

"now we're talkin'."

"you're really a lady after my own heart."

out of the corner of my eye, it looked like a surprised expression flickered across her face, but immediately disappeared.

"Thank you for making breakfast. This is very sweet of you."

"consider it payback for yesterday's."

'sweet' isn't something i usually get called.

can't say i hated it at all.

——

instead of being able to focus on what we're watching, my mind is concentrated on tori.

she's running her fingers along my joints, taking everything in; such that you'd think she'd never felt another hand before.

a part of me wants to pull my hand back, say it's too much for me.

but the stronger part of me doesn't want it to end at all.

something that's so distracting for me isn't seeming to pull her attention away to the same extent.

she's normal about this.

i should be too.

——

"Is something on your mind?"

"kinda think i should get a shower too, but i don't have any spare clothes with me."

"You could ask if Papyrus will bring some."

"nah, don't wanna make him come all the way over here again just for that."

"guess i can just wear the same clothes."

"Would lending you something of mine work instead?"

"shirts are probably the only thing of yours that'll fit me."

"I could wash your current clothes along with my laundry."

"i'd have to hang out in your bathroom 'till it's done."

"Would you be comfortable if I were to give you a large shirt to wear in the meantime?"

"just shirt?"

"A very large one."

"don't know how i feel about bare-bones-in' it down there."

"I do not think you'll fit into any of 𝘮𝘺 underwear..."

she gave a playful smirk.

"You're open to try."

"should i put on a bra, too?"

ended up just going with the shirt.

lame, i know.

——

"It fits a bit like a dress, does it not?"

the shirt stopped just barely at the top of my knees.

"shortest one you've put me in so far."

"I could go get a real dress."

"nnnope."

"i'm good."

"You would look good."

"sorry, but we'll have to play fashion doll some other time."

"i've got a couch to go sit my bare ass on."

she cackled.

"Out of anyone, I suppose I would much prefer it be a skeleton doing that."

"really though, i'm gonna go put a towel on under this."

"Alright. The wash is started, so it shouldn't be too long."

——

sitting next to each other is suddenly very precarious, as i am apparently the king of overreacting.

i accidentally bumped my leg against hers, and flinched like i had been shocked from it.

i need pants.

——

thirty minutes left on the wash.

getting a shower here made me realize that i'm somehow staying another night already, without even a second thought.

"......."

"i should go home, right?"

"No!"

"...It is late, already."

"You may as well spend the rest of the night."

"Please, do stay with me."

"...ok."

——

is it odd to say i sleep better here than my own bed?

[football-whore]

u walking into neymar jerking off moaning ur name like crazy and it turns u ONNNN

Omg yess it will probably be shit since i'm writing three other smut while writing this so yea. And why are all my other writings than the smuts getting so little attention.

And Happy birthday to Neymar!!!

Warnings: Smut just smut.

And I am tryna do this based on a Haaland smut I read not too long ago and I wanna give credits but I dont remember who wrote it so im sorry for the person who wrote it and I love you<333

You were neighbors with the one and only Neymar Jr. When you had lived there for a while you had started to develop a crush on him but Didn't wanna tell him since he is your neighbor. But on day that changes.

Your has needed to be renovated and that meant that you couldn't be able to live in there for a while so you had to live somewhere else.

And the first person to ask you if you wanted to live at their house while your house got renovated was Neymar. It actually made you happy so you accepted the offer.

The day of the renovating finally came so you packed a bag with some things and went over to Neymars.

You couldn't even ring on the doorbell because Neymar had already opened up for you. "Hi Y/n! Welcome in!" Neymar said and so you did "I hope i'm not any trouble!" you said and Neymar shaked his head to say no.

"No not at all!" He said and you smiled. He took your bag and showed you around.

"You can sleep in the guest room if your okay with that!" He said and you said "Of course!". He quickly showed you to the guest room putting your bag on the bed "Make yourself at home!" he said and you smiled as he left the room.

After a while you two play a board game and you were winning but he knocked one of your characters down. It rolled under the table you two were sitting at.

You kneeled down to get it showing off your ass making Neymar horny. He bit on his under lip feeling that he got a boner so he took his hand over it and stood up "I..I am kinda tired so Im gonna go up and sleep" he said.

You got confused as you heard him run upstairs but you tried to ignore it and started to clean up the game.

After you cleaned up you decided to go to bed aswell but you stopped when you walked past Neymars door. You thought you heard your name and you did but not in a way you excpected.

"Omg!Y/n!" You heard Neymar moan. You felt your clit starting to get a little wet.

You out one of your hands on your clit and started to rub a bit not wanting to disturb Neymar.

But once he moaned your name one last time you couldnt resist anymore you wanted him inside of you. So you pushed the door open revealing yourself to Neymar. "Y/N! omg..It's not what it looks like..!" He said covering himself.

"So you want me or what?" you ask biting down on your lip.

You walked over to the bed and sat down next to him grabbing his shaft. He looked at you biting his lip as you started to slowly rub up and down on his shaft.

"Omg!" he groaned as you continued. After sometime you finally stopped and took off your clothes instead aswell as your bra leaving you only in your panties.

"Do you like what you see?" you ask as you take off your panties and he nods.

You finally sit yourself down ontop of him teasing his throbbing shft with you clit. After teasing him you finally sit yourself on his member letting a slight moan come out of your mouth.

He gripped onto your hips as you tried to get used to his huge length and when you did you started to move.

"Your so big!" you moaned as you felt him inside of you.

The thrusting got fast very quickly making you reach your climax very quickly.

But even tho you reached yours Neymar still continued going faster and rougher hitting your sweet spot multi times.

"Y/n you feel so freaking good!" Neymar moaned as he finally reached his orgasm pulling out of you. You rolled off of him laying beside him and he rolled his arms around you cuddling you kinda.

"I guess you dont need to sleep in the guest room anymore!" He joked and you rolled your eyes and laughed a little.

/-/-/

[daenerys-targaryen]

hi. you're on a rock floating in space. pretty cool, huh? some of it's water. fuck it, actually most of it's water. i can't even get from here to there without buying a boat. it's sad. i'm sad. i miss you. 😢 HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? a long time ago, actually never, and also now, nothing is nowhere. when? never. makes sense, right? like i said, it didn't happen. nothing was never anywhere. that's why it's been everywhere. it's been so everywhere you don't need a where. you don't even need a when. that's how every it gets…………………….……….… forget this. i wanna be something. go somewhere. do something. i want things to change. i want to invent time and space. and i know it's possible because everything is here and it probably already happened. i just don't know when to start. and that's exactly where it started. whoah, i paused it. i think there's a universe now. what's it made of? quarks & stuff!! ah, that's a thing. in a place. don't like it? try a new place. at a different time™ ⏰ try to stick together, because the world is gonna get bigger. and emptier. but it's not empty yet. it's still very full, and about a kjghpillion degrees. great news! the quarks are now happily married, in groups of three called a proton or a neutron and there's something else flying around too that wants to join in but can't cause it's still too

🔥 HOT 🔥

great news! the protons and neutrons are now happily married to each other! and some of them even doubled up. great news, the electrons have now joined in congratulations, the world is now a bunch of gas in space. but it's getting closer together. and it's getting closer together. and it's getting closer toge- ⭐️ it's a star! ⭐️ new shit just got made! some stars burn out and die. bigger stars burn out and die with PASSION! and make some brand new, way crazier shit. space dust! which allows newer, more interesting stars to be made, and then die, and explode into ✨ even crazier space dust! ✨so now stars have cool stuff around them, like rocks, ice, and funny clouds, which can make some very interesting things. like this ball of flaming rocks for example. holy shit, we just got hit with another ball of flaming rocks. and it kind of made a mess. which is 🌙 now the moon! 🌙

🚨weather update: 🚨 it's raining rocks from outer space.

🚨weather update: 🚨 those rocks might have had water inside them, and now there's hot steam in the sky.

🚨weather update: 🚨 cooler temperatures today, and the floor is no longer lava.

🚨weather update: 🚨 it's raining. severe flooding alert: the entire world is now an ocean.

🌋 volcano alert: 🌋 that's land! there's life in the ocean. what? something's alive in the ocean. oh cool, like a plant or an animal? no, a microscopic speck. it lives at the bottom of the ocean and eats chemical soup, which is being served hot and fresh, made from gnarly space ingredients left over from when it was raining rocks or whatever. oh yeah, and it can do that. 🧬 it has secret instructions written inside itself telling it how to build another one of itself 🧬 so that's pretty nifty, i would say. tired of living at the bottom of the ocean? now you can eat sunlight! using a revolutionary technique, you can convert sunlight into food! ☀️ taste the sun ☀️ side effect: now there's oxygen everywhere and the sky's blue. then the earth might have been a snowball for a while, maybe even a couple of times. it's a sponge. it's a plant. it's a worm, and some other types of weird strange water bugs and strange fish. it's the Cambrian explosion. "wow, that's animals and stuff" but we're still in the ocean, hey, can we go on land? no. why? the sun is a deadly lazer. oh okay. 🫶🏻 not anymore there's a blanket 🫶🏻 now the animals can go on land. come on, animals, let's go on land! “nope, can't walk yet. and there's no food yet, so i don't care.” ok, will you learn to walk if there's plants up here? “maybe”, said some bugs, and fish. “ok, so i can go on land, but i have to go back in the water to have babies.” learn to use an egg. “i was already doing that.” use a stronger egg. put water in it. have a baby, on land, in an egg. 🥚 water is in the egg. baby, in the egg, in the water 🌊 , in the egg. “works for me! bye bye ocean.” and now everything's huge. including bugs 🐛 wanna see a map of the land? sure. oh fuck, now everything's dead. just kidding, here are the survivors. keep your eye on this one because it's about to become the dinosaurs 🦕 here's another map of the land. yeah, it broke apart, don't worry about it, it does that all the time. here comes a meteor ☄️

and the dinosaurs are gone

[the-100th-witch]

so we're going through the process of preparing for moving and we have time but better now than later right?

blugh blugh blugh

(long)

but my mom's a hoarder so she's going manic and yea the stress and all that but like...she's making it a bigger deal than it really is.

She has expired food (that i went through and threw out she was ok with that bc again...expired food) and now she's going through the bathrooms and im pretty damn sure many of her shit is expired in there also. The closets are gonna be a nightmare bc she hoards clothes.

i moved back july 2022 after my friends and i moved out of our apartment and i was coming back to my home town bc of my job (which i am thankful i was living in my mom's place bc early 2023 i was laid off...) but basically yea it was a fight to carve a space for me bc i was moved out for 3 years and holy shit. i would visit and sleep here every so often but yea...

luckily i dont have much on my end (compared when i lived here like...pre moving out 2020 bc i got rid of a lot of things before my move then) but like it's hard to focus on getting my life prepared and on track with all this going on.

im already behind on my goals for January and yea i know thats on me but it's really hard to focus on myself or keep to my habits/begin new habits when my mom is so explosive. Already 2 times today she had mini-freak outs bc she was "missing" something (they were moved and in sight but she get's so frazzled that she just runs around like a chicken with her head cut off). I'm gonna have to just...go somewhere else during the day to get my shit done.

like i know i need to help and i do but i also dont like getting yelled at and listen im not a child anymore. I understand i dont have to live here and im working on that but damn dude...

the estimated time of the house being hopefully done is june/july 2024 (it has to be built) and my goal is to hopefully be moved out by then (and if not by summer 2024 at least some time in 2024) but allowing my mom (and sister) to monopolize my time (and emotional energy from my mom) is gonna really mess me up. Again i know i need to just make boundaries and be disciplined and try not to let other's emotions dictate my emotions and energy but that's what i was trying to start...this fucking year lmao maybe this is a test given by the universe? who the fuck knows.

tomorrow im gonna wake up early and clear out my bathroom (they have to take pictures for insurance or something) so im gonna get that done early in an hour so i can wrap that up and just get the fuck outta the house for the day. Wednesday my sister is taking the day off and helping with the kids stuff here and im deciding if i wanna stay and help or just fuck off. Like the kids stuff wont take long but i think my mom might lose her mind bc in her mind she thinks she needs that (she doesnt the kids are grown and a lot of it has been just sitting). I dont want bail on my sister but im dealing with my mother after the "clean outs" and it's been fucking draining. All day ive been anxious and tired from the clean out of the garage. I havent been sleeping bc of the anxiety (staying up until 2am) and every time i walk out of my room mom comes at me with more anxiety (which i get but im not in the mental place to take on HER anxiety and deal with mine).

i just feel like this all happened all at once and again, better to get it over with than later when the house is ready and they need to sell this house blah blah but damn dude. I was just coming out of a very dark month back in December and i was finally feeling hopeful to start January 2024 and it's hard not to feel like i fumbled it already (it's the third week of January and i got some stuff done but not really) and im allowing myself some grace but it's hard.

#personal #kinda of a rant but more of just getting it out #im tired and achy i hope i sleep tonight... #at the end of the day i need to be more disciplined and not let others sap my energy and take my time but it's hard esp as a people pleaser #im not giving up so if january ends up being a test month thats just how it is it's not over yet #im going bed night!

I don’t understand why ppl would spend money on a con just to corner a celeb about a political opinion. Like I’m all for ppl being vocal about issues and talking about it, but there’s always a time and place. Like you aren’t going to go to a wedding and bring up exes of the couple right? If you wanna hold a celeb accountable, go for it! But do it on your own time and don’t ruin it for the ppl who paid money for a good and enjoyable experience. Like this would just be a waste of effort, money, and time, all of those resources could be used to do something that actually matters. It’s like people are waiting for confirmation to cancel celebs and it takes away from the whole purpose of the mission. Like this isn’t an issue about canceling celebs and figuring out if they’re woke enough for us to support, this is a real crisis issue where ppl are losing lives and ppl are making it about cancelling celebs. Like you think cancelling someone is gonna someone somewhere but honestly all it does is bring that person headlines. IF Joe says anything about this issue it will be about him, all articles and news outlets will report on him, and nothing about the actual issue so there’s not even a point

sorry for the rant, I’m just tired of this shit.

I agree so hard with this. I'm sick of it. Like, go do some actual activism in your life, go to a march, give your money to charities you care about supporting the cause, do LITERALLY anything else other than sitting on your ass being a keyboard warrior trying to cancel a celebrity that doesn't give a shit about you or your opinion.

Even when I was a kid, I knew my dreams would change, I just never thought that they'd turn into something so morbid.

I often think about what kid Livie would think of me now, and I often think she'd be concerned. I don't think I'd ever want the chance to meet her, I don't want her to know everything gets so bad when she still has hope everything would be okay.

She worried about everybody else so much more than she did herself.... I guess I never stopped doing that. If she met me she'd just try to fix me and I wouldn't want me to do that.

I know this is all so fucking stupid but I need to get it out somewhere and this is the only place I know my family will never find me. So, here I am talking about how I wish I'd just fall asleep for good tonight and how a younger version of me would be so upset and concerned if she met me.

Gods, I wish it had gotten better like she hoped, but I think that hope died years ago. One day, I was real with myself. It's been a shit show since forever, and I don't think it's getting better. After that I've just realized I haven't wanted to exist for a very long time and that I'm only here because I have to be.

Ya know, I am so fucking tired. I just wanna sleep and finally be free. It's the least the universe could do for me after just making every minute I live a struggle. I mean, what's the point of living if I'm just here to hare every fucking minute of it?! God, all of this is so stupid.... and yet, I'll never end it all myself because I have people that I'd rather just suffer for the rest of my existence than hurt them by not suffering through it all.

Man, life really is one big sick, cruel joke, and I'm just the punch line. Fuck this.

The Blog Begins - 9-26-23

Okay, so I've tried to do this blogging thing so many times at this point. But I really wanna stick with it this time because my hand gets too tired when I try writing in a physical diary. Plus maybe people will think it's interesting? Who knows. Also I got a new keyboard and it's MECHANICAL so it makes the good clickies and I love typing on it. Like, I need an excuse to just type a bunch. So I'm gonna just write little diary entries.

I'm going to start off with work.

So, I work in a thrift shop. I don't want to say the name of it for my own privacy and I guess legal reason and things, so I'll just call it... ThirftWill. :) So I started working at ThriftWill in July and I've really been liking it. Like, I really like the job itself. I mean, it's repetitive and menial and sometimes I feel like I'm in purgatory. But on the brightside, I don't have to interact with the customers because I'm in the back.

Apparently, Gen Z is the generation that thrifts the most, but that would NOT be my first guess because our store is always full of old people. Mostly white old people. But I guess that's down to location because where the store is is where mostly well-off white people live. So they come in and shop and also to donate their stuff.

Speaking of which, people will literally drive up to donate their stuff the second we open. It's so weird. Like, do y'all have nothing better to do at 9am?

Actually, now that I think of it, some people may be dropping stuff off before work. Because the other day I was walking in (I go in at 8am, it's heinous.) and some lady was dropping stuff off outside the donor door before we opened, which people do all the time even though you aren't supposed to. Like, seriously, there's a sign RIGHT THERE that says to not leave donations outside the door when the store is closed... and people leave their stuff under the sign. :) I guess the mindset is that we'll take it anyway, like it's not like we're gonna throw it away, but still. My mom has been working there for 3 years now and she said that sometimes people steal the shit that people leave outside. The GALL that people have will never cease to amaze me.

ANYWAY, as I was saying, this woman was dropping stuff off outside as I was walking in and she was like, "Can I leave this stuff here?" Which, honestly, is a step up because I've literally made eye contact with a man leaving shit outside the door before and he didn't even bother to ask. He just nodded at me and kept doing what he was doing as I stared at him from inside the store with disdain. But she asked and I was like, "Honestly, not really. Like, there's a sign." And she was like, "Oh, I was just dropping it off because I have to run to work." And I told her that sometimes people be stealin' and so she said she'd take it somewhere else.

And part of me was like... am I a piece of shit? Like, I just turned down this woman's donation. But in my defense... I was just telling her the rules of the sign. And on top of that, our Thriftwill gets a LOT of donations every single day without fail and a good amount of it is sellable since it's in a nice area, so another Thriftwill in a less good location good use the stuff. So I'm not beating myself up over it.

ANYWAYS, it's my first time working full time in my life, which I realize is my privilege showing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rich and I've never been rich in my life. But I have been very coddled and spoiled and I'm willing to admit that. So working full time for the first time at 23 is like.. maybe embarrassing. But in my defense, I started working part time at I think 18 or 19 until my scoliosis got too bad for me to stand/walk for a whole shift. So I was too disabled to work for a few years (despite the state telling me I'm not disabled and am not eligible for SSI which is garbage) but regardless.

I've had surgery since then to correct it. My surgery was in December last year and I am pretty much good now! I have nerve damage in a few places and I get this weird, sharp pain in my shoulders sometimes, especially my left one, but overall, I'd say I'm doing great. Especially considering the fact that my job has me standing for my whole shift and every part of my body hurts EXCEPT my back :) Like, seriously, my feet hurt so fucking bad y'all.

Even at home, it hurts to walk. I bought insoles, they didn't help, I used a pair that my dad had gotten and never used, they didn't help. I bought a new pair of shoes, (Sketchers, even!) and they DON'T HELP. They are super cute, though, so I'm keeping them. I think they're half a size too small. However! I ordered ANOTHER new pair of shoes and this time they're from an ortho website and they cost like $110 fucking dollars!!! But there's a money back guarantee. So either my feet will be soothed or my wallet will be reimbursed. They just got shipped yesterday I think which I'm like.. please for the love of all things holy please get here soon. I wore some compression socks on Sunday and I think they actually helped a bit which is nice. I also have this other compression thing that I've been wearing, even at home. Only one came in the pack >:( But I'm praying to Allah /j that these shoes help. There are literally two fatigue mats at my work station and yet my feet feel like someone beats them with a leather belt for 8 hours a day.

Also, I hate one of my coworkers. Dude, I hate her so much. She is my ENEMY. My NEMESIS. My RIVAL. Not trying to sound like Bingo Heeler, but she is my RIVAL. I despise this woman. For privacy reasons, I will call her Hawk.

You may be asking yourself, "Why does tumblr user ahoysteviex hate Hawk so much?" Here's the answer: SHE'S FUCKING DUMB.

But not only is she dumb, SHE'S ALSO A BITCH.

You cannot be dumb AND a bitch. PICK ONE. PICK A STRUGGLE.

To explain more clearly why I hate Hawk, I must first outline what it is I do at Thriftwill. There are multiple jobs in the backroom:

Donor Door: Helps people unload their donations and takes the items inside. Sorts the donations into categories - clothes, wares, electricals, furniture, etc. Replacing gaylords, other heavy-lifting jobs.

Wares: Prices things like stuffed animals, knick-knacks, glassware, bedding that's still in the packaging, hats, accessories, shoes, etc.

Electrical: Tests anything electrical to see if it works before pricing it and putting it onto the floor.

Sorter: Sorts through all the donated clothes, bedding, curtains, etc. to get rid of anything unsellable. They put the sellable clothes into bins separated by men's, women's', and children's. Sellable comforters are sanitized before being put into their own bin.

Hanger: Takes the sorted clothes, prices them, tags them, and hangs them on a rack before taking the rack out to the sales floor.

Me personally? I'm a Hanger. I be hanging clothes. I stay pricing clothes. And I'm good at it B). Now, the expected quota for Hangers is 700 pieces a day. AKA 100 pieces an hour. And y'all... I'm so close. I've been consistently hitting 600. I have a system and I'm getting so dang close to hitting 700. I think my highest is 648? I don't remember exactly. But one day... one day soon... I'm gonna get that marvelous 700. And on top of that, I'm accurate.

When you get a piece of clothing, you need to pick the category (men's, women's, children's), then pick what the item is (short sleeve, long sleeve, dress, pants, jeans, etc.), then you need to pick a price. There are 5 pre-selected prices that we stick too, but you can set your own price if you choose to. Obviously it would take forever if we had to type in a price for every piece of clothing, so we just use the pre-selected prices most of the time unless we find something particularly good that should be priced higher.

AND you need to put the tags on in specific places for what makes it easiest for the cashiers and the guy who pulls the clothes. We're supposed to always tag on the left side of the clothing (the right side if you're looking at it, left side if you're wearing it) and we're supposed to always, ALWAYS try to hide the hole that the pricing gun makes within a seam.

I'm probably 98% accurate at this. Sometimes there are shirts that are made of a material that is just IMPOSSIBLE not to make a hole in, even when you put it right in the seam. It's infuriating. But sometimes there are sweaters and stuff that are like... knitted and shit and so you CAN'T make a hole in it because it's already holes so you can pop that bitch in without worrying about it and I love those. That also goes for stuff with a ton of sequins or stuff that's super fluffy because the fluff hides it.

Anyway, this all relates back to Hawk because she's fucking awful at the job. She's literally so stupid that I think she might've had a lobotomy. She keeps putting the tags in the wrong spot. Seriously, she puts them on, like, the left breast of the shirt where it leaves A BIG ASS FUCKING OBVIOUS HOLE???? When she brings her rack of clothes out onto the floor, she blocks the fucking aisle with it. She tags women's clothes as kids and vice versa sometimes. She tags jackets as shirts and sweatpants as "pants" instead of "athletic" or "sleepwear". She's just SO DUMB. And whenever I or my mom try to correct her, she gets all salty about it. Like, she catches an attitude like she's mad we're telling her she's wrong. So I don't tell her SHIT anymore. I let her fuck up because I could care fucking less if she gets fired for being a dumb bitch that's incapable of learning very basic tasks.

It's truly so funny to me that she never asks me anything anymore LMAOOO. Like, in the beginning she would ask me stuff (stupid stuff, mind you) but now that we've formed a rivalry she never fucking asks me HAHAHA. She literally always goes and asks someone else. I'm like.. GOOD. Don't fucking talk to me. And on the rare occasion that she does ask me something, I usually just shrug and grunt.

Our manager has told her MULTIPLE TIMES where to tag the clothes. The other hanger (there's three of us) trained her the exact same way she trained me and I do it perfectly. Other people have literally told her where to fucking put the tag and it's taken her until yesterday to fucking do it right. We'll see how long it lasts before her goldfish brain forgets. Our managers literally printed out a DIAGRAM of a shirt and a pair of pants with arrows pointing to where you're supposed to tag the clothes and a reminder written to tag IN THE SEAM. And I don't need to be told that and neither does the other hanger (we'll call her Ciggy) because she'd been working there for YEARS. So we're all being subjected to this because she can't fucking learn.

Also, there are two stations for Hangers. Ciggy, like I said, has been working here for years so she has laid claim to one of the stations. She has her stuff set up the way she likes it and she has a few things hanging up and sitting around that she personally likes. (She has three reborn baby monkeys that are... super weird but I'm not here to judge). When I started working, there was another hanger (we'll call her Shag) and she had a few things up at the other station. Because they had both been there before me and they both preferred to work in the spots they had personalized, you know what I did? I respected that. Whenever Ciggy worked with me, I worked at Shag's station. Whenever I worked with Shag, I worked at Ciggy's station. It's just common fucking decency.

Hawk doesn't have that. But it's interesting, because she doesn't have that for me, yet she has it for Ciggy.

See, Shag quit shortly after I started working at ThriftWill. (That was an entire fucking hellride in itself. Shag was my rival before she thankfully left to work somewhere else. I hear she has a factory job now. I will tell more about Shag at a later date, as this post is super fucking long and I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow). Anyways, Shag quit. So I got her station! I was so excited, y'all. I was able to bring two of my stuffed sloths to hang up. And I've since added 2 Inosukes, a Steve, and a Bubba. I also downloaded Lively on the work computer so I could having a moving Inosuke desktop background.

Long story short, it's my spot. I work in the same spot everyday. But Hawk tried to passive aggressively fight me over it. At one point, I had to get our assistant manager to get her to move because she fully ignored me while I was talking to her.

So, yeah. I hate this woman.

Anyways! I think that's where I'll end this post. I finished this one a day after I started it so I need to start a new post because new stuff happened already.

I hope this doesn't completely flop. But honestly, it's okay if it does. It's mostly for myself anyways.

messy shitty twitter rant no one has to read. venting for the void

I've made my stance on social media abundantly clear over the years but it still sucks to see the largest whale start bleeding in plain sight. The intersection and scale of art communities, ADs, recruiters, IP social managers, and legitimate brand opportunities is hard to find anywhere other than twitter, and it's been a quiet respite in not having to deal with fifteen separate portfolio websites instead. I just can't be fucked to deviantart and artstation my life anymore, I just don't have the energy. I like hosting a simple portfolio website and using networking to funnel clients in there. Having that second step pooled in one spot is messy, sure, and oftentimes revolting due to its flattened information highway noise, but also like so so much easier in terms of content dissemination, and getting the word out, and reaching out with/responding to pitches, and maintaining an image, whatever. And I know this is damning for me.

Because yeah, as an artist, I should hone a discipline and focus it up into actionable social niches. But twitter made me so lazy. My style and work ethic was literally the entire sell; offers come in the craziest disciplinary varieties. There aren't a lot of them, and private commissions are still be my lifeblood, but in-between I may get to work on illustrated posters, TTRPG covers, novel covers, con prints, actor portraits, official merchandise, podcast branding, website visual identities, videogame marketing, all these disparate and fun projects that come from so many different people and companies all living on twitter and looking for a best fit to their brief. It isn't effortless or easy by any means, but it feels fun. I know this is also achievable through better online self-image and a curated set of hiring/portfolio website presence, but for me twitter is all of it in one pot. Made me lazy. I'm admitting that, and it sucks in all the normal ways, along with some very selfish ones, to see melon husk bleed it of all relevance.

I just have trouble with all of this. I didn't grow up on the internet, but I did grow up alongside it, and I'm not a social person. I wasted half of my life rotting my soul for stable pay in an office job that drove me to the brink of things I don't even want to mention. Art saved my life, and I owe social media all of that credit, but if I could work as an artist in a similar vein and variety of projects without pulling them in from twitter, my god, I would disappear from the face of the (online) earth. I'd occasionally dick around on here and that would really be it. I want to spend so much more time on my personal life than I manage to because of work, of which 75% is essentially admin, and within that, maybe half is online image curation. It's exhausting. And losing twitter will mean building those callouses up somewhere else with an even steeper learning curve. And I don't wanna. Throwing baby tantrums over it. I'm tired of the internet song and dance. I want to be a person.

I'll stick with it for as long as I can without feeling like shit. I don't delude myself into thinking that participating in online algorithmic meritocracies is in any way ethical regardless of who runs them, but I'm sure melonhead can and will find ways to get me to throw up in my mouth hard enough to bail someday. Waiting with baited breath. Fuck billionaires so much!

lkjaflksdj

i'm in an anxiety spiral and i'm legitimately terrified now. fun.

so had an arachnophobia thing today. do not talk to me abt it.

and now i'm sitting here and i was abt to go to sleep.

and i've just been ignoring the fact that my nose has been congested for hours. bc i've been. too tired to bother. i haven't wanted to.

i finally take care of it. take the extra benadryl. i get up, i change my shirt (unrelated) and i lay back down.

and i realize my face is hot. like a little feverish hot.

and now i'm overthinking how weird my chest felt today.

bc i'm like "i talked myself hoarse on thurs, that's all"

but now i'm worried i have covid

bc of the congestion, the fever/face hotness, the tiredness, the chest weirdness

and like yes i have an autoimmune condition that i still have not had diagnosed (i have other shit going on, i'm tired and scared, i simply have too many hoops to jump through)

yes i have flareups

but this feels different

and now i'm not going to be able to sleep

and i have therapy in 6.5 hrs

and i'm going to have to take a covid test tomorrow bc i can't fucking handle doing one rn

and i'm just.

like.

so i leave the house ONCE. i have a NICE TIME. i get EXCITED abt something.

and now what, i'm either having a terrible flare up or i fucking have covid.

WHY.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE A NICE DAY SOMETIMES WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH UNPREDICTABLE AND FUCKING MISERABLE CONSEQUENCES AND WORRYING THAT I'M FUCKING DYING

it would be fucking GREAT if the fucking government could decide to give a SINGLE FUCKING FLYING SHIT abt EVERYBODY and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUCKING PANDEMIC so we could MOVE ON WITH OUR FUCKING LIVES

because i'm tired of this

i'm spiraling and i'm fucking tired of this.

i'm tired of being scared and helpless and depressed

i'm tired of not being able to plan for anything in my life

bc it's just this PIT of "okay what illness do i have. how serious is it. am i fucking dying."

and our house is all fucked up bc of the floor thing

we have to pack and move out for 2 weeks for them to take care of it

there are spiders EVERYWHERE bc of this FUCKING MISERABLE FUCKING VALLEY

i just wanna move. i wanna get a job. i want friends who actually want to play dnd with me. i want to not have to be the only one reaching out all the fucking time. i want to not be sick.

i want to move somewhere else and have some of my symptoms go the fuck away.

i want to not have to jump through 50000 hoops to get access to a doctor who will then spend AGES diagnosing me.

i would like to go more than half a day without having a fucking health scare.

I HAVE OCD.

I AM NOT BUILT TO FUCKING HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS.

I AM NOT BUILT TO WITHSTAND A PANDEMIC WHERE NOBODY ELSE GIVES A FLYING FUCKING SHIT ABOUT THE FUCKING PANDEMIC

i can't do this anymore. i really, really can't.

i'm so fucking angry.

i stg i better not fucking have covid or i just might legitimately give the fuck up.

Years of The Dead

Chapter 4 Emotional Reunion

Ella couldn't believe her eyes, standing right there in front of her was her old friend who she hadn't seen in years. Stanley had the same shocked look on his face when he laid his eyes on Ella. Ella started remembering the first time she and Stanley had met each other.

It was several years ago, two weeks after her brother committed suicide. Ella was sitting on a bench on campus with her head in her knees crying. She still couldn't believe her beloved older brother was gone, just like her parents. Now she was all alone as her other relatives lived out of state and she couldn't afford to see them. She could only feel sadness and couldn't see herself ever being happy again, and started wondering if she could go on like this.

However she then felt someone sitting next to her, she sat her head up and saw a fit and good looking guy sitting next to her.

"Hey, I'm Stanley, we're in the same class. I couldn't help but notice that you've been pretty bummed out ever since you've come back from that two weeks vacation you took." Stanley stated.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." Ella said.

"Hmm... hey it's a lovely day isn't it?" Stanley asked.

"I guess it is." Ella dismissively depression coating her voice.

"Hehe, hey look up, that cloud looks like a but!" Stanley pointed out while laughing.

Ella looked confused by what Stanley had said, but she didn't see any cloud of the sort. She then felt a hand patting her head and Stanley saying "Ha! Made you look!"

When she heard that Ella couldn't help but smile a little as her brother had used to play that trick on her.

"Hehe, that's kinda funny." Ella said.

"I hope so, I wanna try and help you feel a bit better as I hate seeing others sad." Stanley explained while smiling.

"Um, thanks Stan." Ella said. Stanley smiled and Ella looked at him and she saw in his eyes that he truly wanted her to feel better. When she looked in his eyes she felt herself becoming stronger and her desire to continue on with her life the way she wanted.

After that day Ella and Stanley started becoming closer and closer to one another. Soon they had become the best of friends and gained more friends over the years in college. He even got her into some good muscle building sports such as boxing, rugby, and jodo.

Unfortunately all those good years did not last for long because after they all graduated from college and got jobs things for one of them turned for the worse. Ella had joined a wonderful company where she only had to do all nighters when the busy season hit and the company had gotten a large investment.

However things weren't so good for Stanley as the company he joined sounded good at first, but it was a living hell. Ella learned through the grapevine that the company was exploitative of their employees. Stanley had to work for god knows how many hours a week, he barely went back to his apartment, hardly got paid, and worst of all his bosses would berate and yell at him all the time.

The last time Ella saw him, he was hardly even a shell of the person he was when they first met. She remembered their last conversation where she'd try convincing him to quit and go work somewhere else.

"Stanley please I'm telling you, you gotta quit! Come on, I can talk to my boss's and once they see how good you are I know they'll hear you! Please I don't work as much as you and I'm well, so this is why I want you to quit! I want the Stanley I became friends with to come back!" Ella exclaimed as she looked at a tiered and beyond worn out Stanley.

However Stan just got angry and yelled "Ella! You don't understand! I've work so hard on this job! I can't quit now! If I do, my boss will mock me and the others will take over the workload I left behind! I can't do that to them! Another thing! STOP BRAGGING HOW GOOD YOUR LIFE IS! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING YOU BRAG ALL YOU WANT ABOUT THIS SHIT!"

After that night Ella and Stanley havent spoken since, as he didn't have the time to and she didn't want to as long as he was working there. She was deeply hurt by his words that day, and hated that company for what they had done to her friend and wanted to burn it to the ground. However she didn't have the power to do so and she prayed everyday since then that the next time she and Stanley meet he'd be in a better place.

Back in the present Ella and Stanley were standing there in the halls of what was left of a once beautiful hotel. Ella couldn't believe that Stan was alive after years of the apocalypse and that hell's job he had.

"Stan-'' Ella was about to start speaking when Stanley wiped his head down and began sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'M SO SORRY ELLA! *sob* YOU WERE RIGHT! I SHOULD'VE JUST QUIT THAT WORTHLESS COMPANY! B-but, instead I got jealous of you." Stanley spoke the last bit in a more quiet and sorrowful tone.

"Wha-? You were jealous of me?" Ella asked confused, she was also slightly taken aback by his words.

"Yes! You always layed out your benefits for the company you worked for. And I heard through the grapevine that your company was like heaven compared to mine! So I got jealous that you scored what would be the lottery in the workforce compared to what I got! I was so upset over it that I lashed out at you due to everything, but after that day I was so ashamed of myself. You were my best friend and I possibly ruined everything we had, just because of my stupid jealousy. I stopped communicating with you cause I was afraid that if I tried you would yell at me. I was scared that you'd tell me you didn't want to talk or hear from me ever again. So I stopped communicating with you because of that, but I'm so sorry! Words and actions can never express how truly remorseful and regretful I am about everything!" Stanley cried out as he spilled out everything he had wanted to say.

"Oh Stan... I never wanted to stop being your friend, you were there for me when I needed it. You helped me cheer up whenever I was missing my parents and brother. You even helped me keep my spirits up and not go down a self destructive path that my family would never have wanted for me. So I could've never hated you for anything in the world. I was mostly upset for what that company had done to you, and at myself for not being able to help you soon enough." Ella explained, feeling regret of how she was unable to save her friend sooner.

"Hehe, well now thanks to the apocalypse, I'm finally free! And I've never been happier in my entire life! You might think I'm crazy for saying that, but... I'm so happy the apocalypse started! It's thanks to this insane pandemic I was able to free myself from my toxic work environment and do the things I wanted to do for so long. However there was still one thing I wanted to do, and I wasn't going to let myself die till I did it." Stanley explained.

"Huh? What's that Stan? Whatever it is I'll help you, as I want to make it up to you." Ella explained.

"Well I can do it now with you Ella." Stanley said.

Ella looked up at him confused by what he meant, and she became even more confused when Stan took her hands and held them in his own.

"Ella we've been friends for a long time, and I know that we've drifted apart because of our carries, but I didn't want to die before apologizing and confessing something to you." Stanley explained, his words full of passon.

Ella blushed a bit as Stanley got down on one knee while still holding her hands so tender and lovingly. "Ella, you're so strong, so brave, and so head on. You've never let anyone take advantage of you, you always let everyone know how you are feeling. And most of all, you're so brave, strong, and beautiful. So since two years after we became friends, I... I... I fell deeply in love with you!" Stanley confessed with all his heart.

When Ella heard Stan confess his feelings for her, she felt her heart do summer salts. She couldn't believe that her college friend had feelings for her after two years of them being friends.

"S-Stan I-" Ella was about to say but stopped when the pair heard groaning coming from behind them. They looked and were horrified to see some evolved infected running at them.

"Oh Shit! Let's talk later!" Ella exclaimed in a panic.

"Yeah! Let's head somewhere safe!" Stanley exclaimed.

The two panicked and ran for it, the evolved infected chased after them and ran as fast as they could. They soon ended up on the roof and saw that there wasn't another way off.

"Oh crud! What do we do?!" Stanley asked in a panic.

Ella looked around the area for a way off the roof. She then spotted another building nearby that they could jump to. Was across from the street so it was a little distance away but they could try to jump, it would lead to a few injuries but nothing serious.

"Hey Stan! That building over there you see it?" Ella asked as she pointed to the building.

Stanley looked and saw what Ella was talking about, however he was confused on why she was pointing it out.

"Um, yeah I see it, but why? We kinda got an issue on our hands!" Stanley pointed out as he heard the evolved getting closer.

"Well it's in jumping distance, so let's take a leap of faith together and go!" Ella blurted out as clearly and as quickly as she could.

"What?! Are you sure we can make it?!" Stanley questioned in a panic.

"Yes! We can make it if we do it together! Come on Stan!" Ella called out as she offered her hand to him.

"Are you sure?! It's been a long time since I've done this so I'm not sure if I can even make it with you! I might just slow you down." Stanley explained as he looked down to his feet.

"NO you won't! Listen for five years we haven't talked and for five damn years, I wanted to see you again! Now we're finally here and I want to see if the old Stan I knew back then is the same one here! You also told me you had a crush on me right?" Ella asked quickly.

Stanley froze for a moment, the world around the two of them seemed to have slowed down to just a snail's pace, as Stanley looked up at Ella. Her now purple eyes shimmered in the light as her long raven hair flowed as the wind blew through it.

"Come on Stan! I've been alone for three years! The only survivors I met had gone insane and none of them were my friends! I thought you had died too, but now you're here with me again! And now I know that you've fallen in love with me two years after we met! So I'm going to either die with you, or live with you! As, I'M NEVER SPENDING THE REST OF MY LIFE ALONE DURING THIS APOCALYPSE!" Ella declared with her eyes sparkling.

When Stanley heard that he felt a light shine inside his heart, and he let his face show the biggest smile Ella hasn't seen in a long time.

"Alright! Let's take a leap of faith then! I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life alone either! I'm finally with you again, and I'm not gonna waste whatever time we have left to just throw this away! I made a huge mistake five years ago, and I'm never gonna make it again!" Stanley declared as he took Ella's hand.

Just at that moment the evolved reached the top floor, and the two decided to finally take a real leap of faith, and a metaphorical one, as they begin to restore their friendship. The evolved ran up to them and tried to grab at whatever they could, but the two rekindled friends where faster and jumped.

Ella and Stanley held onto on another hands as they flew across the sky and to the next building. Ella was able to land on it perfectly, but Stanley mis-calculated a bit and almost fell off the edge. Thankfully Ella was able to grab onto him and pull him up before he did, as she was determined to not lose her friend (and hopefully lover) again as she did five years ago.

After pulling him up Stanley embraced Ella, in a tight warm hug like never before. Ella was taken aback by this for a moment, but it soon subsided and she started crying a little as she hugged him back.

"I'm so happy you're alive, and I hope that you're back to the real you." Ella said as she started to tear up a bit.

"I am the real me E, and I'm gonna show it to you. I promise you I will never make the same dump mistake I made all those years ago." Stanley let Ella go a bit, but his hands remained on her shoulders. "From now on, I'm staying by your side, and even if you won't return my feelings, then I'll just be happy to have you as my friend again." Stanley vowed with all his heart.

Ella smiled warmly, and held onto Stanley's hands as she looked him in the eye.

"Let's reconnect then, and slowly start to see if I do feel the same about you Stan." Ella proclaimed.

Stanley smiled when the words reached his ears, and his eyes once again became watery as he once again hugged Ella, who gratefully returned it. The two reunited friends stood at the top of the building, with the evolved on the other one groaning loudly and trying to reach them. Ella felt, if they were still human they'd be giving the two a round of applause. Even while the sun began to set, it shimmered on the two, as if congratulating them on their beautiful and emotional reunion.

[power-of-glitter]

My wrath knows no limits.

and I'm so happy that I snapped out of it when I did.

Anybody who knows me. and I mean really knows me. know that that is exactly what I am applicable of. There's a reason why I'm telling you this. let me explain further.

On Wednesday that just passed, I was very tired from working 2 jobs. (bear with me here I know I like to practically brag that I work 2 full-time jobs I know, I know we all get it moving on!) Well, that day I was more tired than ever. At the company where I work, we have something called "wellness rooms". Now for those of you who don't know what wellness rooms are, it's a multi-purpose where anybody can use for almost anything.

Most of us use it for sleeping. Yes, that's right. we have cots and we can sleep in the workplace. We all have it good here. We get free food, unlimited coffee, tea, gym, showers, and last but not least laundry mats. You can almost live here if you'd like. But I'm not a hoebow so I think I'll pass on this.

So I was using one of these cots to nap for about 5ish hours in between jobs. when I gathered all my stuff and try to move on to the next job I walked outside only to find a white and pastel pink/purple bike but my car was gone. At 1st I was thinking that I lost my mind. There was a history that I use to park my car in a different part of the parking lot and forget about it. I use to wig out and proclaim that someBODY stole my car. Then roughly about 8 mins later I was standing there looking stupid. I always told myself never again.

so this was that "never again" I made sure that I wasn't trippin' and made sure that my car was not here. It wasn't, so I had the go-ahead to freak the heck out! I threw my stuff on the floor and ran back to the security office to get to the bottom of all of this. and yep sure enough someone little guy about the size of a 10-year-old took my car. This little dude rode up in a white pink and purple bike and upgraded to my car.

yeah, the fuck with that kid. After I was done losing my shit. I remembered I had placed an air tag in it that was well hidden in the crevices of my shit box car. I mean it was a 96 Civic and it looked like I had drugs or a dead hooker in the truck. I mean let's be real for a hot second.

Felipe and I took one look at my find my phone app and he said wanna go con front of him? I said HELL YASssss! Let go! So we road around and still couldn't find my car or the guy and we thought he had an iPhone and found out there was an air tag somewhere in the car and threw it out. Only we couldn't find it.

Finding out the hard way air tags are not that reliable. So I had no choice but to call the cops. They came pretty quickly but considering the area that I've been in they don't play. The cops were really nice and took all my information down. They drove off. One of them said I think I know where it might be after giving them the last location of my air tag. then drive off.

They even took the bike! I really wanted to keep it because it kinda looked nice but I'm sure what looked like a 10-year-old took it from someone else. But the PD took it away.

Felipe and I took another go-a-head around the neighborhood thinking we would find it. About 20 minutes in, I got a phone call saying that the cops found it! HA! THEY FOUND IT! We were both so excited we headed there ASAP. We were told to meet at a storage place.

As we were driving up to the place guess who I saw strolling down the street? Yup! You guessed it! That son of a bitch who STOLE MY CAR!!!!!! The only thing that changed was that he took off his flannel shirt and placed on bigger sweatpants. Overall, he was still wearing the same thing.

So I did what everyone else would do took a deep breath approached him and kindly asked him for my car back....hahahhahaha yeah I did none of that. What I did was jump outta the car and tell Felipe to call the cops and I confronted him.

The 1st thing I noticed is that he was not a 10-year-old He was like a 28-year-old short dude that looked like he stole his wardrobe from his cholo dad. That's what he looked like! A grown little dude who still shopped at Baby Gap. And you think that stopped you from confronting him? Absolute not! I am 3 times his size about 3 times his weight and I was fixing to beat his ass 3xs more than anybody ever did.

I said you SOB you took my car!!! Gimme back my car! He wanted to take off to the back alley but we both knew that wasn't going to happen. This not so 10 yr old little dude had a big o machete and he was ready to swing at me.

But my trusty bestie was recording the whole time. So he stopped and thought about what he was going to do next. It also didn't help me out that I was screaming at him like a ranging Karen saying DO IT AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS!

Finally, after all of that, the cops finally came and joined the party. Boy did that take what seemed like forever! No, I wasn't really angry over that. Oh no no no no! Life is not that simple. Not only did the cops let him go. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you the COPS LET EM' GOOO! Apparently, If I want to commit a crime in CA. all I need to do is change clothes and say it wasn't me.

But what really set me off into a rage. Is not the fact that the cops let him go. It was the fact that he gave me that studio date rape look and said I didn't even want the car anyways. Loud enough for me to hear it and not the cops. TF! Is wrong with this guy?!? I lost it!

I flat-out ran up to him and told him in Spanish. (yes I don't know if you know this I can speak Spanish) You better hope that I don't catch you here again. I will come back when you least expect it and BURN your fucking hut with your rat-looking dogs and your whore in with you.

I think I spooked him because we both knew that I was very serious. He ended up running away. back into the very creepy, very empty, tall grass field. I was still trying to figure out who can I borrow a gas can from. Thank god for my BFF, Smurf. She talked me down from committing not only arson but murder too. Thank God for the best friends. Ohhhh how my life is just Littered N Glitter
