#my dad is in shock

[doctorjameswatson]

So, someone’s car crashed into our house today 🤦‍♀️😔

#we are fine #my dad is in shock #it could have been so much worse #garden has been pretty much totalled though

any dc character: *confessing something about their past they kept hidden out of fear/shame*

their batfam bff who had already known for a while and is now desperately trying to hide that they knew the truth this entire time: “oh, wow! that is so crazy, i am so sorry you had to go through that.”

#batman #batfamily #batfam #batfamily shenanigans #batfamily headcanons #they’re just trying hard to pretend they didn’t do a full background check right after meeting their teammate/friend #they get the paranoia from their dad #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #barbara gordon #tim drake #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #duke thomas #damian wayne #being adopted by a furry is fun until you inherit all of his trust issues #at least he’s rich though! #random dc character: my parent is a villain and i became a hero to stop them! #batfam character: oh wow i am so shocked right now

I've always been curious to know this about the people around me. Most people have been in severe pain, but in my experience few have had what they would say is their 10/10 experience. I guess it's just something I find fascinating, as I had my 10/10 experience quite young and I sometimes forget that not everyone has. In my opinion it changes your relationship with pain and how you engage with it afterwards. If you answered yes, feel free to elaborate on your circumstances in the tags!

(reblog for a bigger sample size etc)

#I was 13 and mine was after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. T6-L4 fusion and when i woke up in spinal shock it was agonising pain #they had to give me ketamine before the pain died down and even then it was only 9/10 #i was on a fentanyl drip for a few days afterwards and ever 5mins and 50sec id be dosing myself #my dad would take over my button while i was sleeping and set a timer on his watch to push it at those intervals #it was the only way i could rest as without it id wake up in blinding pain #definitely the hardest experience of my life. sometimes i forget that i went through that and came out the other side. #polls #chronic pain #disability #spoonie #cripple punk #cripplepunk #the tags ive chosen kinda skew the balance in favour of the yes but idk what else to tag it with. #it would be interesting to see if other disabled people have also had a 10/10 and how common that is

Y'all I admitted to my dad last night that I run this Byler blog bc unfortunately it was relevant to my OCD and trauma in a roundabout way, and he was like, "I'm not surprised honestly, I've noticed that you take their relationship extremely seriously" ??? 😭😭😭 And then he asked me if I was obsessed with Byler, or if I hyperfixate on their relationship and use it as an emotional support or a coping mechanism and I couldn't say no 💀 💀 💀

Almost all Sonic characters have cultural shock. They just cope differently

Knuckles gets frustrated at what he doesn't know and is expected of him by 'society'

Shadow is silent, wallflower and tries to read everything around him so he doesn't end up acting out of the norm. He also autistic so it makes it even harder

Sonic tries to fit in in every single situation and is overly cheerful with everybody

Tails gets anxious or nervous at times when not surrounded by people who understand him

Amy tries to offer everything and all she has, whether it be gifts or treats. It's also part of who she is, she genuinely loves spreading positivity. She also misses certain social cues and reacts by blowing up

But they'll get through. They'll get there. Or they'll remain themselves and come out stronger for it.

#projecting personal experiences on fav characters? couldn't be me #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sth #miles tails prower #amy rose #shadow the hedgehog #knuckles the echidna #team sonic #cultural shock #I'm Shadow. my younger brother is Sonic. Mom is like Tails. Dad's like Amy and my youngest bro is like Knuckles

I see a lot of characters older than a teen protag slotted into dad/uncle roles in found family tropes but frankly when I was 15-18 if anybody wanted to parent me I would politely remove myself from the situation. n if they insisted I would probably bite

#like no I totally get it and it can make for a good story and when you just want that found family comfort #but also like idk. I think teenagers esp those used to being on their own are gonna be a lot more bitey about it #the specific dynamic of uhhh yea no this isn’t my dad he’s my coworker friend guy. yea like 20 years older than me yea #is also under appreciated and rather funny I think. #I think a lot of late teens too basically think of themselves as fully grown adults more or less & responsible for themselves #and the dynamic of ppl around them going ‘this is a child’ is also very funny #I still remember the shocked look on my coworkers faces when I said I’d just turned 18 lol. Very funny #even if they end up as a dad/uncle figure I think the fraught process in between reaching that point is also very fun to explore… #bytebun rambles #tropes

my dad is never fucking beating the streamer allegations his christmas gift for himself finally arrived and tell me why THIS is what he unpacks

Ellie’s eyes were starting to feel heavy as she poked her head around the doorframe to the living in search for Joel, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She spotted him sitting on the couch, book in hand, using the reading glasses Ellie liked to endlessly tease him about. The book he was reading was tilted slightly to receive the light from a nearby lamp, the glow the only source of light in the room, all of the lights in the house turned off to match the darkness of outside.

He glanced up and smiled softly when he noticed her, and she took it as an invitation to stumble over to him and flop down onto the couch next to him, tucking herself closely against his side. He chuckled softly and wrapped an arm around her, causing her to snuggle closer against him.

“Tired?” He asked, glancing down at her. She blinked sleepily back at him and yawned.

“Nope.” She glanced at the book he was holding. “What’re you reading?”

“Nothin’ that would interest you,” he replied, marking his page before closing the book and placing it on a nearby desk. His thumb on the hand he had around her had begun to rub small circles onto her shoulder, and her eyelids began to droop even more. He took his other hand and gently ran it through her hair. “It’s gettin’ late, baby girl. You wanna go to bed?”

“No,” Ellie mumbled, shoving her face into his side and squeezing her eyes shut. “Wanna stay here.”

“You have to go to bed soon, or you’ll be tired tomorrow,” he pointed out, his voice a comforting rumble in her ears.

“Fuck tomorrow,” Ellie yawned. “‘M never tired.”

“If you say so.” He adjusted himself so that Ellie was lying on top of him, face buried into the crook of his neck, one hand between her shoulder blades as he rubbed gentle circles on her back and the other gently playing with her hair. Ear pressed against his chest, she could hear the soft thumping of his heart, over and over again, a comforting thump, thump, thump, and soon she felt the pull of sleep draw her in.

Joel shifted slightly and Ellie clung onto his shirt, making a small noise of protest. He bent down to press a small kiss to the crown of her head and murmured, “I’m not goin’ anywhere, honey.”

Ellie relaxed against him again, and she thought she heard him whisper, “goodnight, baby,” before all of the other sounds around her began to slowly fade, nothing but the soft thump, thump, thump of his heartbeat echoing in her ears before sleep finally took her.

#the universal child experience of falling asleep on top of your father listening to the sounds of his organs #I was literally shocked at how loud my dads intestines were when I was younger #we need more cuddly joel and ellie #THERE ISN’T ENOUGH JOEL AND ELLIE CUDDLES OUT THERE GUYS !! #the last of us hbo #the last of us #tlou #ellie williams #joel miller #ellie and joel #joel and ellie #fluffy #short story #haven’t posted any lil stories on tumblr yet but this was too short for ao3 in my personal opinion so here we are #anyway watch me post this and then disappear forever bc I have an insane amount of anxiety abt literally everything #yay!! #alternatewriting

The hyper-veneration and almost fetishization of the USA's troops have honestly given rise for some of the worst types of people who want power without effort, I think.

It's why you see some entitled asshole troop who think they can do whatever to civilians because we "owe" them for them "putting their lives on the line" or the type of person who thinks they personally will stick it to a random Afghan civilian for what "their people" did on 9/11 (a racist institution fostering racism? Colour me shocked (sarcasm)).

As a US citizen, I'm personally really concerned with this attitude we have toward troops. As somebody who hates the institution of the military, I also hate that it fosters a genuinely toxic mindset - it's much like the mindset that is instilled in cops; however, when you are overseas, the people you harm are not typically US civilians, so people can sweep under the rug the injustice of terrorizing civilians who aren't "like us."

#politics #had somebody go 'do you know i am a VETERAN?!?!?!?!' to justify why he was being a complete knobhead... #...chances are he hasn't stepped foot on a military base sure but... it wouldn't shock me if he WERE in the military... #...like my dad was enlisted in the aftermath of 9/11 and the amount of meatheads who ranted and raved about 'getting back'... #...like they were batman going after the joker was EMBARRASSING. you aren't a comic book hero ffs... #...and honestly that's what broke the illusion of the troops being like... uniquely special... #...and the military thrives off of this illusion because it is its shield. the more we venerate this idea of the American Hero... #...the more justification it has to continue existing as it does. #gd bless the people victimized by the US military complex. the people suffering the most from US occupation #being a military kid really made me hate the military industial complex at an early age lol #fuck the military

so fucking mentally ill about the way miguel isn’t surprised by conchata striking him but doesn’t know how to react when she touches him gently….

#the implications to Miguel not being surprised when his mother hits him…sick to my stomach #like ah man. this has absolutely happened more than once in addition to Miguel being willing to endure a measure of this because #too much like dad #but he appears genuinely shocked and stiff when she embraces him #he doesn’t know how to react when she holds his face #like part of it would just be the shock of Conchata rejecting the truth right in front of her but just #OUGH….miguel…… #tunes talks 2099 #sm2099

Draxum is a fearsome commander and warring warrior scientist, but he's also a Dad and does exactly what Dads do.

#except my dad he used the names of our pets because he loved them more #this is major first draft shit the dialogue feels very clunky to me so there will probably be revisions #yes draxum uses gale's fake birthday despite knowing it's not his real birthday #he's gotten REAL into the roleplay #he probably does change it to donnie's real hatchdate after this because absolutely no one knows that besides him #i remember once i picked up my mom's phone to pull something up and she started giving me the passcode and was shocked when i was already i #“how do you know my passcode?!” my mother in christ it's literally about me #raph is tattling on gale because he set up draxum's computer to accept whatever password he types in btw #he got tired of draxum forgetting his password and needing his computer reset
