#its a family holiday to me :)

[hellenhighwater]

Genuinely being a single woman in my thirties, living alone, is such a mixed blessing sometimes. I do love my house and when I'm here I literally never want to leave. But on the other hand, I do get tired of leaving to go hang out with people, even though I love seeing them. Especially because I have such a great group of friends but they live all over the place, geographically, and therefore most of them don't know each other. And I actually really love hosting? But I never have people in my house because logistically it's always more practical for me to go to them than vice versa.

But sometimes I buy new old dishes and wanna just have a little fancy wizard party, but all my guests are far away. Please may I have the teleport spell. Or a high-speed commuter rail system.

#Hazard of moving to a city where i dont have people locally i guess #a very insular city at that #and honestly i am not lonely! I have lovely freinds! But I do miss the college days of everyone basically living in walking distance #in one city #as opposed to now #where DND takes me the width of the state on a weekly basis #usually the only time there are groups of people in my house is around christmas for the family holidays #and like...in the overall balance of my life this works #me going to my people is the logical choice #and its not a bad thing #but most of my friend groups are...local clusters where I am the out-of-towner these days #which again: fine; i knew that going in when I decided to move where I did and overall its the best call #but also sometimes I want to just load up the whole crew in detroit and tell them we're heading to mine this time #dont worry there'll be fancy little finger sammiches when we get there #just give me an excuse to use the wizard plates

Are YOU ready to suffer? Are YOU ready to listen to me rant and suffer and cry and giggle and throw my phone?

Well guess what? It's happening. All that and more because TODAY... is tfs tuesday (but it's actually a Thursday)

I have read the first two chapters of it but it's been a while and I haven't been able to do much reading recently SOOO today I'm to binge all of it cause guess what? It's winter break! I don't have to go to bed early for anything! Not school, not work, not my family's peace of mind, nothing. In fact it's two in the morning. (I have a teeny tiny migraine so I can't sleep, being awake rn is not necessarily my choice.) While I wait for the Tylenol to kick in so I CAN sleep, I'm gonna read this.

Let's get ready for pain and suffering on planet Earth. Or Mob. Planet Mob. PLANET TFST ALRIGHT DONE

#tfs tuesday (but actually a thursday) #i swear ill keep up with the actual releases when i catch up. ive just been busy with family stuff for the holidays #be RIGHT BACK #will i be doing these posts chapter by chapter? maybe. probably. i dont know #we'll have to see how much commentary i have #which will probably be a lot considering Previous History (me frantically spamming the comments of my posts while i read smtwo) #so yeah id say multiple posts #this is chapter one #or maybe one and two because ive already read them so its gonna be more of a refresher sort of thing

I actually for real feel like my phone's scanning quality has dropped monumentally while I was away on thing so that's a fun thing to figure out now. anyways

#sk8 the infinity #kyan reki #hasegawa langa #renga #answering of ''sure'' whenever they ask ''are you gay'' strikes again #gods. genuinely at least on the export the quality of these dropped like to half. whats up with that #sorry if these are impossible to parse #anyways. scribbled these during ''holiday'' ''vacation'' ''getaway''' #sometimes it really is the simple things. hallucinating vividly about the casual life of a pair of teens to survive being in a car for 6hrs #WITH da family #so glad I picked up scribbling on paper again. I actually got stuff to do digitally today and!! literally it feels so much cleaner #like I feel like I relearned a bunch stuff doing traditional ink again for a sec #but yeah. u guys should know by now how much I think about food as a concept #took 3m off last year to write about it in fact. but now Im just microdosing by drawing langa #I'm also actually so insane about reki being a scaredy cat it's so. something. it means so much to me #this of course means koyomi is a jumpscare champion. among siblings that are close in age there must be #the one who sleeps in the lower bunk. and the one who ties a doll to a string by its neck and lower it down to be next to the others face #'why is that so specific' no further question. thank you #gods okay. I need to lay the fuck down it is now my time. to be in bed #Im onto some real exciting stuff rn! and when this piece is done I'll return to ink for a sec #so uh. ink comm maybe not this week. but the next #happy late labor day! seek and destroy. have a good night

Need more stories abt middle aged and old people finding love & patnerships. Tbh. Like obvs there is so much more to life and it's not important in the grand scheme of things and like most days I am thinking of bigger and better things but also I love romance and if I am not properly kissed at least once in my life like. What.

#the duality of fran #DONT LOOK AT ME I'M CRINGE #oh mitski we're really in it now #not really. we interrupt my exsitential rambles about the human soul (good) #to briefly pine and be selfish (bad) #i will return to the good shortly #i would just. be so good at love. at specifically that kind ofkf love and devotion #i am. so devoted. so all consuming in my heart. so loyal and intense and wonderful #yeah i have. a lot of problems and fears and insecurities. maybe so #and i crave touch the same way i fear it. like a kicked dog. my family is not affectionate #and YET #ugh disgusting. yknow that richard siken line. u know the one #anyway. back to things that matter. have to dig out my crochet hooks tonight #i swear im gonna get this mfing beanie done over the holidays #since i cant knit anymore bc rsi #i need to do SMTHN good #i cant just embroider even if its pretty #i need to create For Others #bread and roses. but lately ive been just roses #marry me. qpr me. smthn. idc just SMTHN #blegh. dont look at me

I think what might have been better (for me) would be if they hadn't skipped ahead quite so far in the last scene and instead Alison and Mike were returning only a few years later with Mia. Still the "usual room" and still all the old decor kept around the building, but Alison walks into the room holding Mia's hand and "introduces" her to the ghosts, the idea being that she's old enough now even if she can't see them to know they're there, to know that Alison not only gives the ghosts that allowance in her life on her own terms but also perhaps that she can tell Mia stories about the funny dead people who became her family

#bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #nothing is so important to me right now as knowing that Mia knows about the ghosts #she should know #they're her family after all #the idea of alison telling mia stories about 'uncle julian' or 'grandma fanny' while mike rolls his eyes #mia asking mike wide-eyed if the ghosts are real and mike telling her wryly that yes they're real #mia asking if there are any ghosts around every time they walk down the street #mia passing on questions for alison to ask the ghosts about this historical event or that #or getting them to tell her the hotel gossip through her mother #and alison going 'oh robin i can't tell her that' and mia BEGGING alison to tell her what the caveman said #the ghosts gushing over mia every time they see her even though she can't hear or see them #and alison being so so proud #sigh #i do appreciate the longevity of alison and mike's holiday tradition being confirmed #even if in the moment i had reservations #only so much story you can tell in half an hour with what budget they had #oh #mia coming with alison in those later years when its harder for her to make it out #mia coming in her stead when alison is gone and having to tell the ghosts #not knowing if they're even there to hear her #oh god now i'm a different kind of sad #goddam

Same anon: Pete's taste in decor doesn't improve as he figures himself out. If anything, it gets weirder.

(prev)

oh, absolutely! Pete is a funky lil guy and his tastes reflect that 😤👏 it gets worse even before he starts figuring himself out because Khun starts inviting him to craft nights again, because Pete's needs more PIZZAZZ in his life. Vegas puts his foot down on the kitchen jars having feathers, but we're talking sparkly kitsch to a whole new level. bedazzled lights. glittered vases. sequinned table runners. gold painted everything. nothing is of remarkable quality yet works bizarrely well with Vegas's luxurious velvet. Vegas is immensely irritated and delighted every time someone points this out, and takes it out on one (very delighted) Pete.

#shortly after i first posted interior design my mom and i started making pinecone hedgehogs for holiday decorations #we have. SO MANY pinecone hedgehogs now #(she put out 18 last christmas iirc?? we are home of the hedgehogs now) #and a friend was also sending me pics of all the hedgehog decor in her family's home too at the time #so my point: Khun picks up from somewhere that Pete likes hedgehogs and then its ALL THE HEDGEHOG CRAFTS for 4 months before they reconcile #and then even more after they do naturally #Arm gifts Pete a doorstop hedgehog that's dressed like a bodyguard #it's not a *good* doorstep hedgehog dressed like a bodyguard #it's suit sleeves are wonky its tie is construction paper its passable at best #Pete *loves* it and gives it a place of honor in his home #Vegas is still deciding how he feels about it #he will be deciding how he feels about it for the next five years min #fic: interior design #kinnporsche #vegaspete #fic headcanons #thank u for sending this in anon 😂 <333

love stored in decorations

— scaramouche x gn!reader ; wc. .5k; genre fluff, hurt-comfortish?, modern!au, non-canon information + headcanons

notes. implication/mention of neglectful parents (ei & yae) and lonely childhood. business women yae and ei because i think thats very sexy of them !!! also also idk i kinda hate this but like the CONCEPT of it, just dont like the way i executed it

"hmm... move it to the left a bit more."

scaramouche lets out a huff but does as you say, moving the fake icicles to where you want it before you shout, "wait, sorry, just a little to the right."

he scowls to himself before looking back at you with a grumpy frown that elicits an apologetic smile out of you. but nevertheless, he moves the icicles once again, much to his annoyance.

he climbs down the ladder and you hurry to hold it, wrapping your arm around his waist once he's finally on the ground, and he does the same back.

you marvel at your house, but not long after you hear scaramouche grumbling, complaining about how cold it is and how he doesn't get why you two have to do this every year.

"because it's nice to see our house decorated. doesn't it make you feel cozy and more… holidayish? besides the kids around the neighborhood like it!"

he scoffs, but you know he acknowledges your words when he starts to grab the string lights out of the box of decorations. you smile and go to hold the ladder again as scaramouche climbs up to further adorn the house.

he gets your reasoning.

he looks back at his childhood, often recalling the memories of him walking back home from school only to see the houses that lined his street filled to the brim with decorations ranging from lights on bushes to huge inflatables and candy canes hanging from rooves.

his favorite was always yoimiya’s, whose parents always went all out, every year.

then he remembers his house. big, but empty, with no air of that fond and nostalgic feeling that holidays so often filled people with.

he knows that his moms are back in japan, attending to their work, ei and yae being far too busy with their businesses to worry about decorating the house for a holiday that only lasts for a month.

he remembers holidays often just being him and his nanny with a letter sent to him from his moms. a few short sentences of "happy holidays! sorry we couldn't make it this year again.. next year for sure! we miss you!"

so, when you first “forced” him to decorate your shared home with you he obliged, albeit a bit annoyed. now, he still feels annoyed, hating the coldness of winter, but he reminds himself that the end result will be worth it, hoping that other kids would feel the joy and warmth he felt as a kid, like he felt when he looked at yoimiya’s.

(and of course, he would never admit it, but he actually finds himself having fun. reliving his childhood dream of decorating the house during the season that filled him with so much dread as a kid with a loved one.)

its all the reason why he’s outside in the frosty weather that indicates the start of december in his rudolph pajamas (matching with your santa pajamas), hanging up ornaments and lights.

once he comes down again, you smile, “it looks great. thanks for the help,” kissing scaramouche on the cheek before leaning your head on his shoulder.

“yeah,” he hums, “it looks nice.”

a/n: HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!! hope everyone stays safe !!

#ok but imagine how easy it would be to decorate for holidays in canon genshin with scaramouche LIKE? he could literally just float up LMFAOO #anyways #scaramouche is def healing his inner child #even though it may seem a bit dramatic hes healing himself by decorating the house fs #i hc that in modern au genshin he was neglected emotionally because of how often yae and ei would be busy and bc they stayed back in japan #and i think it was unintentional on their part but even if it was unintentional if still affected scara A LOT #like they thought it was the best choice because they were supporting themselves financially that way but for scaramouche it sucked because #all he ever really wanted was to have a connection with ei and yae even if it was one dinner together as a family #so hes like reliving that joy as an adult with you yk #its small but meaningful idk its cute to me shut up #(also headcanon that scara and yoi would be absolute bffs) #genshin #genshin impact #genshin x reader #genshin impact x reader #genshin scenarios #genshin impact scenarios #genshin imagines #genshin impact imagines #genshin fluff #genshin impact fluff #genshin drabbles #genshin impact drabbles #scaramouche x reader #scaramouche x y/n #scaramouche x you #kunikuzushi x reader #scaramouche fluff #scaramouche angst #+🪼

horrible stupidass day. my aunt died. step-aunt technically; she was my uncle's second wife and she was amazing. they were putting up christmas decorations and she didnt feel well so she went to sit down and . that was it . feel weird bc its the middle of the week and im so wiped out from regular work crap that it isnt even hitting really i just found out and im . like sitting here thinking about dinner. but also she's the kind of person who wouldn't care; she'd think that was funny

#personal #dont reblog #i guess just bc its weird to me when ppl reblog specific personal events from peoples lives #but i also want to talk about her. we didnt see them that often bc they lived a couple states away so the last time was at grandmas funeral #but every time we got together she wanted to talk to me about blue october bc one time she found out we were both fans <3 #she was the most patient encouraging woman; her support never felt pushy or like an expectation it was like she just quietly knew you #could do it - whatever 'it' was #compassionate. down to earth. in a family of big personalities terri was just a solid regular open-minded loving person #its fucked up and stupid that she has to be gone and there are so many assholes who dont die of a heart attack while holiday decorating

[iftitah]

everyone prioritizes their family and that means even extended chacha ke chacha fufa ke tau etc and i can't even prioritize my sagi one i hate myself

#and its not that they're bad or anything #but im such a people pleaser i feel validation from strangers is more important than family #its because maybe ive watched them too closely and nothing about them fascinates me anymore i know the pattern #and my fun is meeting new people cracking the code #but still #i hate that people will cut your calls leave your message unread kyunki aaj poora din bua mausi aaye the #wish i was that focused on my relatives #ill literally text call anyone even in a middle of a fucking apocalypse #idk yall should tell me if im doing something wrong do yall keep your phones away and forget to text your friends #but i can't focus one thing for too long i cannot physically see messages decking up and not reply #i hate this #do people simply not check. there phone as often or am i an addict #or have i still not learnt to be in the moment #and tomorrow night i leave for home and my friends have planned a meet up #now frn 1 comes to home for one month in her holidays so giving one day or even two days to friends doesn't matter #frn 2 lives in hometown so there's no problem but mind you if she comes she has to leave in 2 minutes because her mom calls every five #minutes just to get her back to home for nothing #frn 3 comes home same as me aka 4-5 days so giving 1 day to friends is parents saying tumhe hamse matlab nahi hai tyohaar mei bhi har baar #milne jaana hota hai #etc #but im home past 4 days ivd literally done nothing papa bhai se utni hi baat hui jitni phone par ho jaati hai #haan for mummy i spent time with her #but most of the time i was on tumblr or scrolling insta to kya hi matlab hua mere ghar aane ka #that means unhe bas meri physical presence chahiye #na ghar par bua aayi na mama na koi #lekin ab kal mujhe jaana hai to kal mama aa jaayenge #why are things this way

^me when i am a sensitive person

#ramblings #i hate feeling lonely #it literally hurts my heart #i have such a hard time forming connections both irl and online #idk how many times ive cried just this past month bc i felt lonely #and even when i am included in things im always an after thought #its been months but im still thinking about stupid christmas #i know the whole point isn't to get gifts #but i got one present. while i spent hundreds of dollars getting my family gifts #they even asked me what i wanted too #helped my cousin decorate for her christmas party and last minute i found out it was a secret santa #i got invited but was the only one not included in that #so yeah.... #i dont have anyone to celebrate holidays with #my birthday was sad #i cried then too #not looking forward to tomorrow either #and i try to make friends and talk to people #but i feel as though i always initiate #and nobody seems interested in talking to me #which... i dont expect everyone to like me #but it really does hurt and it makes wonder what's wrong with me #also why cant my brain focus on something else #like doing something productive #its been ages since ive drawn anything #ive just been sad. that's the whole post. #bye now

some people keep saying that bart being hal and barry's child is a bad idea (I mean I really get the idea cuz hal's always away for space missions and barry would end raising him alone for most of the time + hal's commitment issues)

but idk I still can't help myself like It's really cute I like giving my otp a child

😭😭

I LIKE THIS IDEA. Honestly, I feel that as they first start to date, and a good point with Hal's commitment, Hal doesn't exactly see himself as a father? (<- Also I feel this is exactly him though. And not to mention how much I HATEEEEE that they gave HalCarol a kid because none of them would ever actually want a baby because they're so cooped with work and wanting to make it out for each other rather than always forcing themselves to marry, even with Carol wanting to move progressively with a relationship.)

Back to HAL, I mean he's great with taking care of kids and getting along with them, but I don't think he could want kids. This goes with Barry as well (<- They both are deadly afraid of committing to something that means they could lose someone), he's great with goods but he feels he couldn't be a good dad because of Dawn and Don scolding him from the future. Then again if they both had to take care of a kid (such as Bart, which I think is cute but Max is also the caretaker for him ngl... I think they would be great with Wally TOO because of Brave and The Bold shenanigans. One of my favorites <- Hal calling Wally son when he had the green lantern ring :((( )

BUT YES, I think they would be good as caretakers in a way that makes me emotional. Because they would want to try again with what they lacked during their childhood growing up...

#THANK YOU CESSMAGA FOR THE ASKSS :333 #i love when you send in these #jumping and leaping for joy when i get my inbox notifications #speedster ramble #halbarry #kinda halbarry? #anyways... this is VERY true and I could go on about their relationship dynamic if they were dating #because their morals go strong with being together its like a balance nearly? #anyways green lantern is so accepted into the flashfam lets be honest #ermm also unrelated but related with barry and kids #HIM AND TRYING TO GET THAD TO LEAVE THAWNE :((( #let him adopt thad please...pelase..please... #i just want them to be a happy family #imagining them through celebrations or parties or holidays without their families and loved ones... #literally sobbings... found family hurts me but its something i wish was talked about #NOBODY DOES FOUND FAMILY BETTER THAN FLASHFAM... IM SO SORRY.. #anyways i think bart would be max kid but still would treat hal and barry like his grandpas...ermmm this is true.. #hal treats wally like his own son and sees a lot of himself within him but when he was younger #i love them #barry allen #hal jordan
