#sherrif rambles#a lot has been said about the recovery from abuse and trauma etc. etc.#but like. to me none of it really means anything or even compares to actually going through that experience#because holy shit#therapist and I pinpointed an issue which basically boils down to childhood emotional neglect that STILL affects me#and just. it sucks man.#realizing some of your RL relationships have just been... chasing a carrot for a scrap of affection#and then not even getting either the carrot or the affection#setting aside time to hang out or do something and then they're busy every time#and my first instinct is to question myself if I'm being too needy because they didn't show#no! I'm allowed to want stuff and be mad or disappointed when it doesn't happen!#but recovering from emotional neglect is so freaking difficult#that I just keep doing it. keep letting it happen because maybe 'it's all in my head' and 'overreacting'#I'm exhausted. I want it to end. I want people who like spending time with me that I won't have to beg and struggle to get it!#it just. hurts.#I don't want to do this anymore.#I don't want to pretend anymore.#I just want to love and be loved and not get punished for either#I'm tired of waiting around for people to stop complaining about their day and ask me about mine for once#let me exist and be vibrant!! and encourage it dammit!!#somewhat related I think I have seasonal depression#but recovering from emotional neglect makes that so much worse lmao#and all the results for coping deal with the winter SAD types#I need less sun and cold actually thanks#*sigh*

He's in his car when it happens. It's late, past 2AM, which is why he supposes your mother sees no problem opening the door and shoving you out. You trip over the porch step when she pushes you, landing hard on your ass on the concrete while she looms over you.
"Find somewhere to stay for the night," She seethes, spitting mad, "Because you're not welcome here."
He's suspected it for a while. Anger like the stuff inside of him, anger like the stuff he's seen ooze out of you, that doesn't happen for no reason. He's disappointed but not surprised to watch you fall, staying concealed in the darkness of his car as he watches from across the street.
You don't even try to get up, and Billy knows exactly how you feel. Sometimes, when you're knocked on your ass, you don't get back up. You're a modern day Sisyphus, and the boulder's rolled back down your hill one too many times. He decides to help you push.
He doesn't want you to startle if he slams the door to his car, so he leaves it open. Under any other circumstances, he'd close and lock it, watching from the other side of the street to make sure no one even breathes near it. But it's in the back of his mind as he crosses the street to your house, the slightly chilled night air nipping at his bare, toned arms.
He stops behind you, boots scraping slightly against the pavement. You don't dare look at him, you know who he is. There's only one person across the street that would be out at 2AM, and he's the last person you want to see.
"Come sit in my car," He murmurs, keeping his voice low in case your mom can hear from inside.
"Fuck off." You keep your eyes down, still turned away from him and splayed over the pavement. You're propped up on your elbows, and Billy sees one of them slowly staining the ground red.
"You can sleep in the backseat if you want," He presses on, ignoring your hostility the way no one ever ignores his, "I'll pass out in the front and keep the heater running."
"Fuck. off."
"I'm not allowed inside tonight either," Billy finally admits, "My dad and your mom took the same parenting class."
You're quiet, and Billy knows you're thinking about it. Thinking about all the times you've seen him threaten to blow, all the times you've heard the whistle of his teapot before it boiled over, all the times he lingers on the street too late to be casual.
"I have a first aid kit under the seat." Billy looks at the red-stained concrete, "And you can bum my cigarettes."
It's a peace offering. It's all a peace offering, a confirmation that there's someone else like him out there, and he'll be damned if he lets you slip through his fingers. He's spent enough time hiding from everyone that could never understand, and now that he knows someone can, he can finally talk. He can finally feel, he can finally relate, he can finally live.
Everything hinges on this. He can't keep doing this, he can't keep spending cold nights on the front steps or sneaking to the kitchen for an ice pack to put over his ribs. He can't do it alone, and you're the only one that can help him. He feels his heart beating out of his chest, pounding in his ears and pooling blood near his feet where they're bent against the sidewalk. His thighs are burning from how long he's been squatting, but he'd rather die than give up and walk away.
He uses your silence to mentally heal your wounds. He thinks about bandaging your fingers, disinfecting your cuts with a thin, pale antiseptic wipe that'll burn his own abrasions. He fantasizes about the simple act of sharing a cigarette with a friend, and you seem to share his thoughts.
"You- uh, you got a light?"
He knows that surrender. He knows the witty quip, the emotionally-distant snark meant to change the subject and disguise hurt for indifference. It's why he doesn't demand a 'Thank you,' because the way you look back at him is enough of one. You let him help you off the ground, and support half of your weight when the knee you'd tweaked gives you trouble. He helps you hobble back to his car, and he even shuffles you into the driver's seat to get you in quick and easy, where the door is still open. No one else has ever sat in the driver's seat of his car.
"I'll get the first aid kit," He murmurs, "Take a smoke."
He hears you wrestle with the pack of cigarettes he'd left on the center console while he digs around in the backseat for his first aid kit. When he gets back with the little plastic box there's one between your lips unlit, and he remembers your earlier question.
"Here," He fumbles in his pocket for his lighter. He yanks it out, sparking it until a flame roars to life. He holds it against your unlit cigarette, watching as the embers form and glow in the dark.
"Thanks," You mumble, and he nods while reaching for your hands. They're scraped and raw, blood dark in the creases of your fingers but light over your palms like you'd formed a fist and bunched it up there. There's rocks in your cuts from the concrete of your front steps, and he picks it out with his fingernails, crimson gathering under them that, for once, isn't his own.
You hiss as he pulls a particularly rough rock from its spot, and he fights not to acknowledge it. He doesn't want you to feel weak, so he keeps picking until your hands are gravel-free. He's far too good at wrapping wounds for an 18 year-old, but neither of you comment on it. He knows you are, too.
"There," He keeps your hands in his own, only a thin layer of gauze separating his skin from yours. He only moves his hands to pluck the cigarette from between your lips with one, and you blow smoke out of the side of your mouth instead of in his face as a thank-you.
"You sleep in here?" You raise an eyebrow, and he throws a scathing glance at his house.
"Sometimes. Only when my dad's having a bad night."
"So all of them," You scoff, "I've seen you out here before. I was gonna-" You pause, scoffing, then bury your face in your bandaged hands, scrubbing it clean of something Billy's sure is vulnerability. He takes a drag from your cigarette while you hesitate.
"I was gonna come out and ask if you were okay," You grumble from inside your protective shell, "But I- I dunno, I try not to be out here at night if I don't have to be."
"You don't know if they'll let you back in," Billy mumbles, nodding while funneling smoke out of the corner of his mouth, "I get it."
You nod, then shiver. Billy suddenly remembers he's still crouched on asphalt and not safe inside, because a cigarette and a friend concoct warmth he's never known before. He pats your knee, then stands, "I'll crank up the heater."
It's weird being in the passenger's seat of his own car. He's been in there to clean, scrape mud from the wheels of Max's skateboard off of the floor while he curses her under his breath. But it's different settling in the seat, head leaning back against the headrest while you shut the driver's side door. Silence envelops the car, and Billy clicks the lights on so that you've got a warm glow cast over you.
"Thanks for the cigarette," You take it back from him when he offers it to you, "That's what- uh, that's why I was out there. My mom found mine."
"My dad doesn't care," Billy spits, grateful for the freedom but doomed by the negligence, "I think he'll be glad if I die of lung cancer so he doesn't have to kill me himself."
You snort, and he's so glad you don't apologize. There's a certain familiarity that the two of you can speak with, you don't have to preface anything with 'okay, this is kind of dark, but-' or 'can i tell you something personal?'. You both have the same lives, and conversation clicks into place like puzzle pieces.
He wonders when the last time you got to relax was, as you sink into the seat. Your shoulders aren't tense and your eyes drift shut, both things that seem impossible for Billy in his own home. He suspects it's the same for you, which is why he doesn't lament the night ending so soon.
He wants to say goodnight to you, like a friend would. He wants to pretend he's at a sleepover on your floor, like your mom had brought you two cookies an hour ago, and now you're playing cards in your sleeping bags. He wants to pretend things are normal, that you're kids hopped up on sugar and giggles, not teenagers on nicotine and despair.
But the scent of smoke fills his car, and there are bandages on your hands. So he waits for your breathing to even out, watching the slow rise and fall of your chest in time with the seconds that slip away from your last encounter with your family. In, out, in, out, further and further away from the horrors in your house.
Only when he's absolutely certain you're asleep does he dare speak, and his voice is barely anything above a whisper, raspy and cautious.
"Goodnight," He murmurs, because he feels incomplete shutting his eyes without saying it. He keeps his head turned towards you as he sleeps, legs splayed open as he slumps against the seat behind him. He's almost afraid to go to sleep, on high alert to make sure that nothing can steal away his opportunity. Making sure the lights in his house are still off, that his dad won't give up and push him back into the house in case the neighbors see him sleeping in his car. He's busy making sure your lights aren't on either, that your mother doesn't storm over and demand that her child be released from the young man's car. And he's making sure you don't slip out yourself, like you're a puff of smoke that could vanish if he puts too much faith in you.
But eventually, his eyes slip shut and don't open again for hours. He goes to sleep with a friend in his car, and he wakes up with one, too. There's light streaming through the windshield, and the car is more than warm because of it. There's birds chirping, there's people walking their dogs, there's chatter over backyard fences, and there's you.
You're flipping through a book of postcards that he keeps in the driver's side door, all of California's scenic spots. Your fingers are brushing over his favorite now, the beaches along the coast that he'd swore to surf clean across. You glance over at him when he shifts in his seat, and you bite the inside of your cheek before breaking the silence.
"Morning," You mumble, averting your eyes to the postcard in your lap, "These are.. these are really pretty."
"Yeah they are," Billy rasps, morning voice in full effect, "Prettier in person, though."
"I'll have to go sometime, then." You hum, and Billy's decided before you flip to the next page that he'll be the one to take you.

📙 📕 please?
OOOO ok since you sent two I'm gonna give you two AUs--a short one and a long one!
the short AU idea is one I call Hi, You've Reached The New Republic. How Can I Help You?
It's based on the premise that, at the end of TRoS, Ben doesn't die. He lives and joins the good guys! But he did a lot of bad stuff, so he's going to be punished. Originally he gets sentenced to death, but Rey is sad about that, and so Poe and Finn step in because Rey Cannot Be Sad. But, also, they understandably resent the bad stuff he did, and they're allowed to be a little petty, as a treat. So they suggest Ben be sentenced to a fate worse than death.
And by "fate worse than death," I mean customer service.
So now Ben works for the New New Republic, answering phones, and he has to deal with all the garbage that customer service workers get, and at this point, Rey's Not Mad Just Disappointed face is the only thing keeping him from turning evil again. Force Ghost Anakin Shenanakins optional.
the other AU I have in mind is a crossover based on Crooked House, which is an Agatha Christie novel! It's long so i'm putting it beneath a cut.
SO, when I read Crooked House, I got like half a chapter in and was absolutely OVERWHELMED by the sabezra vibes from the main couple. It's like, guy meets girl, guy is in love with girl, girl reciprocates, guy goes off to war for a few years, guy and girl are reunited. also, girl has an absolutely insane family where literally anyone could be a suspect in a murder.
ANYWAY i immediately came up with an AU, as one does. I call it Crooked Clan.
I haven't decided if I want this AU to be set in our world in the past, in the canon star wars universe, or in a star-warsy-yet-vintagey universe that is different from canon. I'm thinking the third option probably.
So, the idea is that Sabine's clan isn't ruled by her mother, but by her grandmother, who also owns the Darksaber. Sabine and Ezra are friends in this AU--which happens in a universe where Order 66 was never a thing--despite Ezra being a Jedi and Sabine being Mandalorian. They've known each other since their teenage years, like in canon, and they're very close.
When Sabine is about 22, her grandmother dies under mysterious circumstances, and Sabine asks Ezra to come help her. Ostensibly as moral support, but she actually suspects there was foul play. Ezra agrees immediately because he would do anything for her.
it becomes clear soon that there WAS foul play. The obvious suspect is Gar Saxon, Ursa's distant cousin, who invited himself into their home and is known to be ruthless with a dislike for the Wrens. And due to a technicality, he would become ruler of Clan Wren unless the previous Countess specifically left it to someone else. And the will Sabine's grandmother supposedly made is missing.
But, one-by-one, it becomes clear that everyone in Sabine's family is suspect.
As follows:
Ursa, Sabine's mother, who was supposed to inherit rulership of the clan
Alrich, Sabine's father, who would willingly do anything for his wife
Tristan, Sabine's brother, who was ruthlessly bullied by his grandmother and openly hated her
Eris (an OC), Sabine's aunt and Ursa's older sister, who was disinherited less than a month ago for her supposed "madness"
Bo-Katan, a family friend who turns out to have previously been associated with a terrorist organization known as Death Watch
and finally, Sabine herself becomes suspect, when her grandmother's will finally resurfaces, and she learns that the rulership of the clan--along with the Darksaber--was left to her.
I haven't worked out ALL the details yet, but I have a LOT of vibes in my head, and... yeah, that's the ramble! There may be more someday! But I make no guarantees!
Thank you for the ask!! :D

Man I fr disappeared anyway the fact that there's almost no AGERE content for Gladion and Guzma is disappointing and now I'm here to fix it giving my HCs for both. Also I don't watch the anime so this I'd all based off the games ALSO I'm a major Hau X Gladion and Guzma X Kukui shipper (But I'm formatting this where you should be able to read as platonic)
---
Gladion:
- Age ranges from 3 - 8, he typically leans older because his brain just feels way too vulnerable when he's younger
- I imagine he spends most his time regressed alone, feeling more at peace being by his partner, Silvally who is very used to taking care of him the best it can, Silvally can also basically sniff out when he needs/is about to regress
- I also imagine he still lives in the former Team Skull hangout where Plumeria, Guzma, and a few grunts reside
- With that I'd like to add Plumeria, Guzma, and Hau know about his regression (Hau on accident and Plumeria and Guzma sniffed him out L)
- Even with them knowing, he still primarily stays alone unless one of them so happen to stop by which then he allows them in, but never really seeks anyone out
- Plumeria and Guzma act like his parents idc they also have shit parents and understand Gladion so they try their best to give him something none of them ever got, parental love (Bonus: They spoil him rotten sometimes he'll get home and just have a present on his bed that's like "For the little brat" and he scoffs (very happily might I add))
- Hau introduces this guy to all the kiddy stuff he missed out on as a kid (I imagine Lusamine to be very selective on what her kids received and got to watch) from shows to all sorts of toy franchises and what not
- Bonus: Guzma gave him a stuffed Wimpod he immediately called "Wimpy" because that'd a hilarious name and he's been attached to it ever since
---
Guzma:
- Age ranges from 5 - 12 BIG ol' range and he can fall anywhere at any time there's no consistency one day you end up with a 5 year old the next you end up with a bratty ass teen
- Took him awhile to start reaching out because he loves being around people but was waayy too ashamed to let anyone know about his regression (Thank god Plumeria found out by stumbling in one day)
- Kukui also knows but that's because Plumeria brought him to the Team Skull house and managed to convince Guzma to tell him
- Kukui is ENAMORED with tiny Guzma, he asks Guzma to tell him whenever he wants him over and if he doesn't, he's gone to Plumeria and told her to call him over if Guzma won't LOL
- Guzma's pretty comfy going out when he's at an older age so Kukui takes him everywhere from parks to stores to places FULL of Pokémon (Guzma and Kukui both love searching out Pokémon, playing with them, helping them, all that. Tiny Guzma has a big heart when it comes to Pokémon and he shows it very clearly, it takes everything in Kukui to not explode from how sweet he is (even if he's a brat to him and Plumeria half the time LOL))
- Forgot to mention this dude is a BRAT, due to his childhood he's really used to pushing boundaries and trying to push things to the edge to see what's happen but despite all that, Plumeria and Kukui treat him with kindness and patience and it manages to surprise him everytime
- He gets super paranoid when either of them get mad though even when its not at him or caused by him at all, he'll immediately start to close up and act with caution (Those day always end up with Movie Nights or Marathons to calm him down)
- Though whenever you praise him for literally anything he brightens up so much its so cute (Childhood trauma and all that of course give this guy some love!!!)
- Bonus: He has a super old, worn stuffed Rockruff he's attached to when he's younger but is often found resting on his bed when he's older, it stills joins Move Nights and such no matter how old Guzma is

Hey it’s so called this morning’s anon back with more things to say I suppose…
I supposed I wanted to elaborate on some things, I know you said you didn’t wanna start discourse but I really wanted to elaborate on what I meant by that proshipping comment. The term proship, from what I heard, has gone from let people ship what they want and if you don’t like don’t look to… This person is a disgustingly vile subhuman and their death should be celebrated.
Funnily enough I openly ship problematic stuff, but I constantly over complicate things to prove that I’m still better than ‘those guys’, to say that I have morality and ‘they’ don’t… But it’s so fucking exhausted. My life wasn’t good and moral and pure so why does my art have to be?
I’m sick of fearing I’ll have someone genuinely threaten my life because I cope differently than them. Ironically I used to get mad when people say it was their coping mechanism, calling it a shitty excuse to be a whatever [You can insert all kinds of fun and degrading terms there] and yet… I was doing the same thing.
So yeah… I don’t like everything but I’m realizing that everything has its place and if that makes me a proshipper then fuck it I guess I’m a proshipper
[After reading all those kind messages I wanted some way to reveal myself because surprise you actually know who I am! But I wasn’t sure how to do that without outing myself so openly… I read your Hevor fic and told you about it on Discord, it’s the only thing we ever discussed. So yeah if you manage to figure me out based on that alone then congratulations! Purity culture is ruining my life so bad I can’t even say my own name! ;3]
fdjskfksdngksjdhk talk about efficient secret codes lmao. Yes I understand now 😄
That's pretty much what happened. "Proship" started as a countermovement to the "anti" culture budding around 2016 who were all like "Sheith is actually incest because they're like brothers and that's gross guys!!!!", and at first it meant simply "ship and let ship", but then it got twisted into meaning "someone who enjoys problematic ships/ships with incest, pedophilia and/or abuse", which inevitably leads to "this person has Something Wrong with them and they're a Bad Person who Hurts people like me with their Degenerate Art! Pedo alert pedo alert! PUNISHMENT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS".
The problem is that "enjoys" means a lot of things :^) there is a difference between "aww they're so cute <3", "welp this is a kink now", and "wow this would be incredibly fucked up but I am intrigued to explore this story". But nuance is not allowed, apparently.
(fun fact: I don't really go through proship blogs because I swear they all ship sibling incest. I hate sibling ships lmao, especially when they're wholesome. But of course they're all in the "will accept anything" community, after being pretty much shunned and painted as horrible abusers who deserve to be hurt and worse - and just because I don't want to see those ships, that doesn't mean I think they're bad people who condone real-life abuse. So yeah, proship is not about having all the grossest ships in the world, you can be exclusively into the most vanilla M/F ships ever and still think "yo do what you want I'll respect you from a distance")
I also hear similar stories like yours, of people who twist themselves into pretending to be antis and be morally "purer" than others when in private they were doing the same things they were insulting others for, just with tons of shame and denial. Not judging you and I'm happy when people realize that this behavior is harmful, definitely more than being into the Problematic lol... I'm just disappointed and frustrated that the internet culture has come to this. I reiterate my points about surrounding yourself with friends who don't make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells.
Also real talk: you don't really have to psychoanalyze yourself. Maybe your tastes are tied to an easily identifiable reason, or maybe they aren't or the reason goes too deep to explore without outside help. In any case, it doesn't matter. You don't have to justify yourself in any way, let alone showing to everyone the "I'm Coping With Trauma" badge in the hopes they will forgive you - because it doesn't work. It's never about the mental health of victims, it's about "i feel icky and i don't want to :("
Disgust is not harm. You (general) have every right to be disgusted by something - I myself am not above it :P But it's not a personal attack against you, and it's your responsibility to walk away and coping with your feelings in private.

Vent again. If you cant read it. Wither: You can't let him do that! He can't be banging or throwing stuff! You think its funny but its- D-d:You need to stop being a drama queen. It doesn't mean anything! Stop it. Where did banging and throwing things get bad? (where did you get that from?!) He's not doing any harm Wither:But it sounds like he's trying to break his controller! [He has a PS5] B-o: WHAT DO YOU CARE?! YOU HAVE A MASK ON AND YOUR A JUNIOR! ITS CRINGY! Wither: And you're a sophomore! You should know not to- B-o: Shut up! No one asked! Aren't you embarrassed?!! This is what happened right now. My brother started to rage at a game and from my room, it sounded like he was banging his controller. I came out to see whats going on and he was yelling before this and hitting something. I told my sister to go to her room and that he was acting stupid. He got mad and insulted me and said I am a nobody and I am embarrassing. My sister got scared from him yelling so got my dad who was drinking. He came it and my brother went back to the game he was getting mad at for loosing and he laughed about it. I told him what happened and he still laughed about it. I got mad since he lets them both get away with things like this and I am tired of the insults. I hate that once they know I will be married to a woman that they won't want me around since like my brother has said and I shit you not he said this word for word "FAGS ARE MENTAL. THEY AREN'T HUMAN" My dad constantly wonders why one of his cousins who came out to them is never around, I can't blame, not at all. It's because none of them support them! They outright show they disappointed in them! My brother says that my dad and him HATE people who are gay or anything relating to it with a passion. They are more concerned of how they look than about anything else, my brother has to constantly remind me that I am more on the bigger side and that he's so embarrassed about it! He said that he will never say hi to me during school even when I say hi, he acts like he doesn't know me and says to others that he doesn't know me. He likes to make fun of me saying I won't get anyone. And even if I do, they will leave me since they never really loved me. I am so tired of this. I want to leave so bad but If I try to leave with another family member then my dad will start to guilt trip me and I don't want to leave because I don't want to leave my friends yet. I know I'm a damn disappointment to them. I know that shit but I have to be reminded over and over and over again. No wonder why I'm distant with them. I try so hard at school to make them proud but it can never make it last. I won first place somewhere big in my state but just "oh nice". thats it. I get Honor roll. "good and stay like that" I am so tired of it and I know I am still gonna push myself to try and get good grades but I know nothing I do will ever be good enough to make them proud of me. They ask why is it hard for me to talk to people, no shit its hard because If I say anything wrong to them, I would get hit. I would get yelled at for saying anything wrong. They told me I am not allowed to tell anyone about my situation, I can't talk to my councilors about this, I cant ask for help. Not even online. If I say something wrong, I feel like they would hate me. If I do something they don't like then I'm the piece of shit. I know they have said that I can talk to them but I feel like I cant since I dont know what they will say. I am scared, I am so fucking scared. I know non of them are bad or anything I am just terrified of them since they are so amazing and I can never amount to them in any way. I don't know what to do. If I eat how I normally do, im told to stop. My health problems are my fault and yeah maybe they are. but still at least be semi nice but no he makes fun of me that I cant breath right. To them ADHD and autism arent real. it's fake so people can be lazy. If I am friends with anyone who's like that then im the weirdo. I'm stupid to even get near them. im so done.

10 Kaz being a better parent to Wylan than Jan Van Eck ever was moments in Six of Crows or Kaz being the parent Wylan deserves
(Book 1 of the duology cause there are so many, so I already had to limit SoC down and put it in 2 posts [1-5 in this post, 6-10 in part 2], let alone including CK in this)
Also, for this, I tried to make sure to save any post ice court moments for part 2 in case anyone was worried about spoilers, so part 2 has a spoiler warning
Moment 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaz was coddling Wylan and making sure he was protected- like a parent would- justifying it with 'hidden depths' and using Wylan as leverage, but I also ask you, if Kaz didn't know he was gonna get a job from Van Eck, why was he so set on making sure he had Wylan protected instead of ransoming him right away? Plot you say? No it was his motherly instincts, trying to protect his boy that he is now adopting.
Moment 2:
Tumblr media
Kaz was so proud of Wylan he not only was turning to Jesper like 'I told you so', he then turned to Matthias and said 'my boi is fact checking you so get it together, you can't fool us, nothing'll slide past him'
Moment 3:
Tumblr media
Kaz who gets mad for an entire two books when his best friend Jesper makes 1 mistake despite years of Jesper's loyalty and Jesper fighting by his side just does the "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" and "be more careful please buddy" with Wylan
Moment 4:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaz in his narrative was like 'this dude is like the same age as me, but he is my child, that's the only way I see him, and he is so outta his depths, I gotta protect my boi' so he turned to his best mate and was like 'you're on babysitting duty' before saying the most motherly thing ever (his kid said he worries to much or basically 'youre overreacting ma' to which he responds "I worry about everything") and then to make his kid feel better he was like 'fine, you babysit Jesper too, now it's fair, and make sure he does what your old man says'. Plus, what is more parental than giving your kids money to go buy stuff? Next thing you know he'll be giving them an allowance
Moment 5:
Tumblr media
"Besides, I want two sets of hands making bombs" like look I know that Kaz thinks Wylan isn't the best choice, but he still thinks he is a good enough choice not to bring another demo man on the job to help him, and this is still Wylan's job, he is the most qualified of all of them, and Jesper is nowhere near qualified, in fact, he is probably least qualified because he literally can't sit still, and you know what's bad for bombs, not being still, yet Kaz is still like, 'this kid, I don't want him being aLOnE with dangerous chemicals! I have made Jesper my designated babysitter, so I'll put Jesper on babysitting duty again to make sure my child doesn't hurt himself'
(And a little bonus moment, cause it is basically the same moment above repeated for a 3rd time:)
Tumblr media
If I had a nickel for every time Kaz thought his son Wylan needed protection so he turns to his best mate Jesper and tells him, 'babysitting duty', I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice
Again, I don't think these moments really spoil anything so I'm not gonna put a spoiler warning on here for the books, but I will for part 2. Anyway, here is #6-10

"The Christmas Invasion" thoughts
currently pacing my apartment like i'm in the angry dome. so that's a good sign
not a lot of thoughts on the story itself. pretty serviceable stuff, not really in the vein of a "real" christmas episode in that it's just an episode that happens to be set at christmas without any accompanying themes. no beef about that
if i had a nickel for every doctor who story with a cool creature face design that turned out to be a mask hiding a less-cool humanoid face, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. the next great disappointment in this vein will be the introduction of the silurians, i'm still mad about that. love the sycorax ship tho, very geonosis
this episode gives us a pretty good primer for ten and highlights his best and worst quality, which is that he does not SHUT UP. this is often very entertaining, and some of his speeches are wonderful (the doctor who monologue is a phenomenal trope, and while eleven's in "rings of akhaten" is probably my favorite, each doctor has some bangers) but my GOD dude. ten is rather vain and loves the sound of his own voice even more than the other doctors, which is quite a feat. even when he's annoying, he's charming, tho. tennant is clearly having so much fun with the role
i want to keep note of a few things we see from ten here that will inform the rest of his tenure. ten-ure. do you get it. the quick jump from joking about satsumas to dead cold "no second chances" shows that under the bluster and bravado, there is a stone-cold killer in there. the coward no longer, not really. he's a fighter, not just a soldier
i have a little theory here i'm playing off. so i wrote in my "parting of the ways" post that rose and the tardis kind of corrupt each other, right? rose does to the tardis what she does to the dalek, she infects it with her human-ness. we see from this episode that the tardis and the doctor are symbiotic, too. so rose and the tardis mingle, and then the doctor kisses her to take back the tardis's heart, and it gives him super-cancer and he regenerates. there's no way that corrupting force didn't touch him too, right? i joke that nine imprints on rose but i think that's literally true for ten, rose's energy (and his depth of care for her) forced his regeneration. he's in a physically and emotionally turbulent time during early regeneration, he's elastic. i think rose is part of him, it's why he takes on so much of her personality (i attribute his dark streak to her, she risks her life this episode bc "he would"), it's why they get dangerously codependent this season, it's why he never recovers from her loss
so that'll be interesting to keep an eye on as the season progresses. the last thing i want to call attention to is, of course, those six words. you misogynistic son of a bitch. i generally agree when the doctor rails against humans being trigger-happy and xenophobic, but in this case the sycorax aren't like the pig in "aliens of london" or even the slitheen, they're colonialists! they rolled up on great britain and said "we own your planet, your minerals" like directly! they aren't refugees or harmless but weird. they're violent conquerors! they're just going to go genocide some other planet if allowed to leave! you JUST told harriet that all eyes are on earth as far as aliens go, and she's right, you're not usually around! she wasn't lashing out, she was making a measured and reasonable choice to protect earth both from the sycorax and for any other race that will see earth as easy pickings, as "children." and you deposed her through misogyny. oh i hate you. iirc he doesn't ever seem to openly realize that those six words are what bring the master into power in s3 or lead to the events of the s4 finale, but i could be wrong. i choose to be mad at him for now tho
oh actually last note. he looks dead sexy in the new fit but it's too normal, the doctor should look kind of shitty to me. ill-fitting or mismatched patterns or too many accessories or old-fashioned or some stupid gay bullshit no one would wear for real. fucking celery boutonnieres and patterned umbrellas and velvet suits. the doctor should look like he got dressed in the dark and doesn't own an iron
okay up and onward! there's kitty cat people in the next one :)

My sister saw a video playing "rapunzel knows best" while someone did a gothel make up and it turned into us listening and singing to different Disney villain songs to just listening to tangled songs and now I have a rant to do about the tangled series
None of this will probably make sense but it's my page
So here we go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gonna put on keep reading cuz it's long lol
THEY HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND THEY DIDNT DO SHIT WITH IT
And not only that they did my Rapunzel injustice! >:(
I've recently been coming across a lot of, well deserved, criticism of the show but for a long while I have been ignoring them I when I do read them I realise I start getting defensive, especially for certain characters (well, I'll be honest, I'm talking about rapunzel) and I had to sit down and stop for a moment when I caught myself doing that
They were valid criticism, sure, but because she was my comfort character (way before I ever watched the series) I started to get defensive, and then the series happened and I tried to ignore it's flaws and issues and pretended everything was a-okay but I could only do that for so long
It's another reason I avoided, and still do kinda avoid the fandom actually, amongst other reasons 😅
But it wasn't okay, and things that bothered me before are starting to rise again
First off, I was so absolutely upset and disappointed they never tackled further into Rapunzel's trauma with gothel, like, maybe a few episodes in the start of the season but never again until like, season 3 or sm and that was only to bright light to cassandra's issues and as I listen to the lyrics of "mother knows best" I am even more MAD that they didn't explore it
And I know, it's Disney, it's rare, especially then, for them to tackle on these topics properly but still, I have a right to be mad!
Especially since it was stuff that I went through! Years and years of being told the same things! By more than just my parents! Where are her body issues? Slight hesitations? Fears? They just brushed it off!
And they did her sooooo dirty too
Something I absolutely tried to ignore was how she treated varian in season one, both are my comfort characters and that single detail always lingered in my head
Why didn't rapunzel go after varian after the storm? I mean, she went above and beyond for Attila, why didn't she do the same for Varian? Thay was soooo out of character! And I was so mad that they wrote her like that and then ignored it like it never happened!
If they wanted Varian to be the villain they could have done something else? I didn't note down anything I had in mind but come on! You shouldn't have to change a character up just for the sake of plot!
Rapunzel cares for her friends, she'd do anything for them! It's proven time and time again but it's a double standard for Varian? I am soooo mad just UGH
Maybe put an obstacle that doesn't allow them to reach Varian in time, Niger has been proven to try and keep rapunzel from doing what she thinks is right (with the dragon stuff, though he changed in the end he still sent troops after them) maybe make Nigel convince rapunzel everything was fine? Every time she'd try to check on him she'd be stopped, so she'd send her friends but then again, obstacles keeping them
And when they do reach Varian it could be too late cuz he thought he was truly alone and acts against them
But then there is the part he comes to them personally in the alchemist returns, right? Maybe it could have been a miscommunication and stuff and when the fight ends is because they are able to clear up the miscommunication and, ya know, actually help him? Instead of throwing him to prison?
Ans it would have been nice to have him join season 2 since he's a fan favourite but if they really didn't want to add him, maybe he was left behind so that he could be left to his studies with additional help
But then there is the second villain arc, if they really wanted to add thay they still could of! They could have had that he was manipulated by the seporians and stuff
Or make it so, like many do, that the king didn't keep his promise to help varian and when he did one mistake the king thought that that was enough and locked him up
If rapunzel was there she wouldn't let that happen, but she isn't
I just
Idk
I'm just coming up with random ideas which probably has a lot of issues, I know, I'm tired and kinda doing multiple things rn so I don't have a clear mind but my point still stands
I don't want to defend whay rapinzel did, I want to defend rapunzel and how they butchered my girl
Idk it's so frustrating
And also cassandra just...why...he villain arc was so frustrating and not fun to watch, annoying really, and she went unpunished too? God danm it!
Ugh
My point is, I love this show, but it had a lot of lost potential
This rant probably doesn't make sense lol sorry

I was at a wedding earlier and couldn't focus on our conversation very well. That and, quite frankly, we're not a topic I like to think about these days. It hurts a little.
I'm sorry for what happened and I feel I need to explain myself. I didn't expect to have much contact beyond a like on Facebook or double-tap on Instagram since our communication dwindled down to nothing.
I enjoyed getting to know you the last few months. The situation we were in allowed us to get to connect beyond the physical stuff... And that in itself was very different for me. Having said that, I didn't expect to develop feelings for you. Feelings are something I run away from. I'm sure you've noticed. And if you haven't, well, feelings are something I run away from. I realize I tried much harder to find a way to invalidate emotions I felt versus acknowledging they existed.
I told you once that I missed talking to you and it was true. You said you did too and you didn't have time to bullshit with me anymore. Being a female, I overthink things. I realized we never talked about boundaries or what this "relationship" was. It made me think that's all it must've been: bullshitting. I should've and I could've asked, I know. Being the proud person I am, I didn't because I didn't want to feel like a fool if it was one-sided. Basically I didn't want to ask, be shut down and have to be like ha-ha-ha I was just kidding too.
That's the thing... I felt like a fool. It wasn't necessarily anything you said or didn't say or did or didn't do. It was the situation we were in. I felt silly for hanging onto nothing but words that popped up on my phone daily. Doesn't that seem mad to you too? When the words slowly, but noticeably, came less and less, I accepted the silence as a confirmation that what we had - call it what you want- was done. And, yes, you are right. I should've asked. It all comes back to that.
What I did was selfish, immature and impulsive. I understood the repercussions of my actions in a "normal" relationship, but even you have to agree there's nothing normal or ordinary about what we had going on.
I'm not trying to get back to where we were because I know that's not possible. But I want you to know that I care for you and you were right when you said you think I'll fall in love. I don't know where you really stood, as far as emotions go or how invested you truly were in this. If I hurt you or disappointed you, I am sorry.
Take care and come home safe.

the twitter fandom seem to just be talking in circles now like we will never be able to see eye to eye on this which is frustrating because the two things can coexist - people can be mad at paramore for not doing anything and also still be doing their own part to raise awareness!!!! i don't know why some people seem to think that you can't do your own stuff while simultaneously asking paramore to use their own platform like it's literally waffles and pancakes. and then there's this weird moral superiority complex that seems to be going on among certain people too where if you're disappointed in paramore then it's your own fault because idle worship and whatnot like WHAT IS HAPPENING !!!!!! we have gone so far off track and lost the plot so many chapters ago that this is actually getting sickening now. i need everybody to collectively take a few breaths and just stop it. yes, paramore should be doing more, no constantly talking about it isn't gonna help anything really, yes, you can express disappointment in them while also continuing to do your own forms of sharing and participating in the conversation about palestine and no, that doesn't make you performative or an awful person nor does it mean you're condemning the band like why does everything have to be either/or on there??? people are allowed to be upset, some people just need to accept it and move on!!!!
i agree with all of this! had they not posted on ig i don't think the convo would've come up again, it just happened to showcase that fans there are also upset too and it wasn't just twitter fans being whatever words everyone wants to call us. but yes like nothing is an either/or with this, i'm not sure why i see certain accounts also claiming that people who have criticised the band have not even been speaking up themselves when majors of us have, like i said earlier, i've seen like 2 very loved accs be the only ones agreeing with calling pmore out but also those 2 haven't said shit about anything going on, so that claim would apply to the minority of fans, not the majority.

I just want bangs and double nostril piercing is that too much to ask?
Also today was a big sigh
Like I put on my big girl pants and told my boss that I was really really interested in the (what was) open position at my job that would be basically a lateral move (although it's really a step down in responsibilty and I wouldnt be managing people or be eligible for a performance bonus) but that would open the door for me to other things outsider of work and honestly is just what I really fucking wanted deep down but felt bad taking because it's actually a demotion. Anyway my boss was like yeah I know you'd do great and that was my plan along but... The person in the position now isn't actually leaving so yeah.
I'm just disappointed because I was going to also try and use this to negotiate a pay raise because the position is the same pay grade I'm currently in but doesn't have the responsibility of carrying keys and I figured I'd be fine still being a keyholder if I was paid for it. So yeah guess that won't happen right now.
It's really hard to not be fucking bitter about it too because it's like this person gets whatever they want, like any schedule they need they get because they "have stuff going on." I don't want to be sexist or an asshole and I think parents should be allowed to take care of their kids but like the amount of times this person has not completed their work and it falls off on to me or makes my job harder is a fucking lot. Like at some point your not fulfilling the responsibilities of your role and you should just step down.
Like I'm a huge asshole but I think it's fucking wrong that this person is going to try and go to school full time during the day and then work 40 hours overnight and have very little children to take care of at home. Knowing how often they drop the ball when they aren't in school full time and sleeping during normal hours like I just can't imagine this will be good.
My boss told me she was going to hold them to the same expectations and if they couldn't do it theyd be asked to step down but like still Im just annoyed by it all.
This is not a position that is often available and if this person just manages to hold on to it I'm gonna be really sad.
Like I'm glad I spoke up and made it clear I wanted it but what a fucking let down
I just know I can't be mad about not getting "special treatment" because it's not something I ever asked for but it feels unfair and I don't my current position lends itself to the flexibility that that position does
Just rambling

Cheyenne & Negative Emotions
On Jan. 27th, I woke up feeling low. I decided I would eat ramen &told myself that I didn't have a reason to not work after I ate. B4 I began making my ramen, my roommate Cheyenne said from the other room "hey, I'm gonna be cleaning that space here in a bit, just &fyi" which I took as "get out of my way." I put the stuff for the ramen away &just went back to my room. I came out once while my roommate was cleaning said space, but only to get water. After I heard her finish, I went to the kitchen to proceed making my ramen. As I was putting the soup into the pot of boiling water, I received a text from Cheyenne. She said she was hurt & frustrated that neither me or my roommate Darren stepped in to help. I was already in a very low place so this hurt my feelings. She accused me & Darren of never picking up after ourselves, even though she doesn't really come out to socialize& always keeps herself isolated in her room and has no way of knowing what we do to clean when her door is closed. I assumed she was cleaning in preparation for her party that was going to happen the next day. I told her just because she doesn't see it happening, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I also explained how Darren actually always cleans up after himself, &so do I. The only time Cheyenne talks to us is when she has a complaint to make. I considered her a close friend. She was someone I didn't mind having heartfelt conversations with. Someone who would randomly give me hugs if she knew I was having a bad day. For some reason though, these last few months she's been distant. I would understand if she was a friend that I would only talk to every once in a while, but our relationship went from being like bffs to being like strangers, &sometimes I even feel like she hates me. I've talked to her about how I felt that specifcally. She said something along the lines of "I know I can come off as bitchy sometimes, i'm sorry" but then proceeded to still come off as bitchy. I just wish I knew how she was feeling towards me. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, &I know that. I just hate when people say one thing &then proceed to do something totally different. I feel like one of my friendships is coming to an end, but secretly. That's not even the point I was trying to make but journaling always brings out more because I have the tendency to overshare. ANYWAY So after I received her text, I cried because I was so frustrated. It was like she expected us to read her mind instead of verbally asking for help. &I get it, sometimes you want people just to jump into the roles they should have (us as equally responsible roommates). However, the tone of her voice when she told me she would be cleaning didnt sound inviting. She's the kind of person who likes to do things alone. So it was obviously a misunderstanding. At that, I'm the type of person who needs to be directed &or specifically asked. This whole expectation without request made me think of my mom. She used to clean everything, including my room. She was one of those "If I want it done right, I need to do it myself" kind of people. After she'd clean though, she would complain about how I didn't help and stuff like that. I never asked her to clean my room, &she never asked me to clean it myself. She would just do it herself &then get mad at me. I think seeing cheyennes accusatory text set me off. No one has show disappointment in me &I think that was what really set me off. I hadn't felt that kind of emotion in a while, &it really hurt. I don't think it was just that that made me cry. I have felt very unmotivated &sluggish, &I was already feeling not good enough so Cheyennes text just pushed me over the edge. I feel like crying all the time, but only when I sit &think about it does it actually happen. It's like my eye lids are a dam, &my thoughts lower that dam wall &allow the tears to just come flowing out. I cried like 3 or 4 times the rest of Friday, felt extremely heavy &I wasn't able to convince myself to work. I wasn't even able to finish all my ramen which is like a big deal considering how much I love ramen.

tmi, sex mention, miscarriage and venting stuff below the read more
i'm fine i'm just Mad
the official Worst part about being into juliana/nemona at this point is how much i see people complaining that "they're teenagers!! you shouldn't write anything gross about them!!" and i'm just like.....
i have this fic in mind. it's been rolling around my brain nonstop since i started up my second playthrough in scarlet and it's a first kiss and first time messing around type story. i even said to myself when i very first thought of the fic, "my first kiss and my first time messing around both absolutely SUCKED and so it would be nice to write this for my younger self. living vicariously through them a scenario where my first kiss and first time messing around didn't fucking blow and leave me feeling disgusting."
bc yeah!! my first kiss fucking sucked!!! it rarely ever comes up, but when it does, i always lie and say my first kiss was my first boyfriend, john when i was 16. my kiss with john was straight out of a fucking fairy tale! outside our hotel under the starlit sky of crans montana switzerland as we watched a rainstorm roll in at an angle in the valley below us! wonderful! couldn't ask for better. people eat that shit up.
my actual first kiss was at 15 with this gross boy who from the day i met him i hated him. he came out of nowhere and was dating my best friend for like all of a week, but he set off this alarm in the back of my mind-- but i was so desperate for my first kiss bc i was the only one of my friends who hadn't at that point, and i was desperate to know what it was like and how "MaGiCaL" it would be. so even when the boy i had this intrinsic "stay away from me" started paying attention to me, i shoved all that aside just so i could finally kiss someone. he made me fucking touch his dick before kissing me and he hardly did anything for me and the kiss sucked and it all was just horrible, and to this day i just feel horrible for my younger self for walking us into that when we knew-- i knew you were trouble was my favorite taylor song when red first came out for a reason
my first time having sex was at 17 with a different guy, and that fucking sucked because i wasn't confident enough to say "what you're doing isn't working for me" or try to tell him how to actually get me off so i put up with sex that was so disappointing it got me over him (lmaO) BUT. and while, sure, i technically never took a pregnancy test bc i was petrified to buy one, i missed my period for a little over two months and then had the worst period of my fucking life-- i feel safe to say i miscarried. which, don't get me wrong, i am more than thankful it happened because being a parent that young would have absolutely ruined my life, and being tied to him in that way is the last thing i would ever want. i just still hate that my younger self went through all of that.
so i just want to live a little vicariously through some fictional characters a scenario where your first kiss and first time messing around(/sex in general bc i know it's a little dubious when you both have vaginas as to what is and isn't sex lmao) doesn't fucking blow because it's with someone you genuinely already love because they were your best friend first, and so you're not scared to talk and work with them, and I just.......
i genuinely don't think i'll be able to post such a fic. and because i don't think i can post it, i haven't even allowed myself to actually write anything because in the back of my mind i'm terrified that writing this fic will get me doxxed by some puritanical wack job who refuses to separate fiction from reality.
i don't want to have to preface my fic with this whole stupid ass justification just because the internet at large is letting purity culture worms eat their fucking brains.
i DO have a second AO3 account with no socials linked i could post it to, but that still makes me anxious. i'm not trying to have some freak try to doxx me and harm me in some way just because i wanted to write something for my younger self.

I feel like people these days are getting WAY too comfortable with just expecting/demanding things to go exactly the way that they want in TV shows, and I'm seeing a lot of it in the Stranger Things fandom with season 4 coming out. Like, obviously you're allowed to be annoyed about certain plot points and character beats if you dont like them, and you can voice your opinions on what would have made them better, but I don't understand all these people that I'm seeing getting mad/disappointed with the writers because things aren't happening the way that they themself wanted. You can't get mad at the writers for writing the story that they want to tell and not the one you want to see. It doesn't make it bad writing, it doesn't make it bad character development, it doesn't make it a bad show, it just makes it something that you personally don't like and that's fine.
With Stranger Things 4 I'm mostly talking about the stuff I've been seeing people say about ship dynamics. Ship whoever you want, that's your prerogative, but don't get mad at the Duffers and the writing team for not writing your ship into canon. You ship Byler? Good for you, I'm glad you have this thing that you enjoy, but don't go around calling the writers cowards or homophobic for not making it canon. It doesn't have to be canon. You don't like the Stancy arc this season? Me neither, but I'm not mad at the writers for writing their characters the way that they want to, and I'm certainly not using faulty logic to argue with their decisions. Steddie(Steveddie?) and Ronance (is that the ship name?) are cute, and they don't have to be canon for you to enjoy them.
Obviously I'm not talking about the vast majority of people and shippers, but I've seen some people acting really fucking entitled about their shipping opinions this season and it just makes me kind of annoyed because it's not your show? Like, write fanfic if you want content for your ship. Fanon is just as legitimate a way to enjoy media as canon. A show doesn't have to do exactly what you want it to for you to enjoy it, and it certainly doesn't have to do what you want it to for it to be good.
And I also wanted to address the weird amount of Eddie hate I've been seeing because people think he's a Billy copy? I mean, if you truly believe that then fine, I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong, but I just don't see it? I see maybe 3 reasons why there could be a logical argument for that, but they're all super surface level. I don't think Eddie is anything like Billy, and I think a lot of people don't actually think he's a Billy copy but they just don't like that a new character has been brought in to, what it feels like to them, "replace" a character that they liked. Eddie is a good new character and he deserves for people to give him a chance. I don't mean to shit on your fav but canon Billy kinda sucked, and I think what a lot of people are seeing in Eddie as what makes him a copy of Billy is actually their thoughts on Billy in fanon. Idk, if you have an actual logical argument for why Eddie is a Billy copy I'm down to hear it, but don't expect me to agree.
I just think that sometimes people need to take a step back and realise that the writers are not obligated to cater to your singular opinion, and if the choices they make mean that you don't like the show anymore then that's fine, you don't have to keep watching. But honestly, I hate it when people let their opinions turn the fandom toxic and I really want to avoid that as much as possible so please please just tone it down with the vitriol towards the writers and towards each other. We're all allowed to enjoy or not enjoy things in whatever way we want.

Shopping with the Sinclair brothers
Made this post and instantly had to add to it, hope everyone loves the Sinclair brothers doing domestic things.
Not proof read
18+
Contains (Sexual themes mentioned with Bo)
I'm sorry, I had to add it 😭
Tumblr media
BO SINCLAIR 🚙🚬🔧
- The type of guy to run to those shops that are like at the end of closing and the workers all probably hate him now. He also has the mindset to only to get like 1 thing walking in but than when he walks out with hes carring 20 various things he knows he will never ever use.
- He can't help himself but also admires the gun section, EVERY TIME! Even if he knows he can't buy one hell still just look at them, a devilish smirk on his face until you come along and drag him away.
- Okay bare with me on this one but... I 100% agree with the thought that Bo had definitely fucking shoplifted before, rather when he was young or in his teens or even now he does it. "Aw, we don't have enough money to afford this" Don't worry Bo's pockets come in handy, he'll snag it like nothing ever happened and show you later. (He probably also thinks he's the shoplifting God 😭)
- He also is the mum kind of person, the one to knows what to buy for his family (Aka his brothers) He'll say he knows it all but in reality, he's only buying junk food and microwave food. You bet your ass you'll look into the cart only to see the only greens he brought was a small ass can of corn. He's very proud of himself
- With how frequently shops give out deals and try to bring customers in with their "Oustanding low prices" You know Bo falls for them every time, mainly because they always advertise on TV and considering Bo is always on his ass watching TV. "But they said it was only 1 per cen' off" (Gets mad when he realises that they baited him in)
- He also can't help but maybe have a slight peak into the sex aisle, he'll say to you he forgot something before going to have a look. He'll probably come back with lube tbh, saying how you guys ran out but you know there's a whole fucking drawer back at home full of lube.
- Bo isn't the type to stay close to you but sometimes he'll be there, either with an arm wrapped around you as he watches you pick stuff out. He's not afraid either to give you a kiss here and there, I mean when your down on the opposite side of the store where no one is around he's definitely all handsy and touchy. Until you tell him to knock it off, that man is disappointed when you don't let him have sex with you in the middle of the fucking shop.
- (Trust me I would be fucking angry too at him, mf is horny in the middle of the shop when you're trying to ignore him. He's like a rabbit in heat, you also bet your ass he doesn't dream about fucking you in the shops too, just don't ask him though because he will literally not care if there's someone there)
- And yes Bo will spend 30 minutes in the alcohol section browsing the aisle, even though he knows what he wants and that he's just going to get the same shit over and over again. (After that does he get 5 packs of all the same brand)
- Also he is definitely ramming into the back of you at full speed if you allow him to push the shopping cart, sorry not sorry
VINCENT SINCLAIR🕯🎨🎭
- Vincent is a little bit shyer when it comes to shopping and going out, if it means leaving Ambrose he's not going. Well it depends, I mean you could probably convince him if your gonna go after midnight or before, considering no one is going to be around, but any other time he's not going.
- Vincent is calmer and collected over what he's doing, he organises the cart and stays close to you. Unlike Bo
- You know Vincent loves to check out the candle aisle, looking at all the different colours and scents. He can't help but pick 1 or 2 to get, I mean have you seen some of those scents (Tbh I would encourage him to get more) Even if the candles don't really work in his room, he loves to put some around the house you know. When you're watching a movie together or just having a romantic bath, he loves to go all out for you.
- Considering most people look at Vincent as the cook for the house, you know that man came prepared with a mental list or a paper list he made. This time getting the things you 'Actually' need, such as lots of fruit and vegetables, but still an unhealthy amount of junk food. Also lots of juice, much to Bo's request.
- He also can't help but like do that thing when the person wraps their arms around the person pushing the cart (Kinda like a hug from the back), he's so romantic!! UGHHHHH
- Also you know Vincent can't help himself but love those good discounts, anything that is on a discount and he normally buys. He is going to buy 5x more than what he normally gets, sorry Y/N he just has to.
LESTER SINCLAIR 🚙🩸🦌
- Lester loves shopping don't get me wrong but with his tight schedule, mainly consisting of him having to do the roadkill work. He doesn't have time to get groceries so much (Maybe that's the reason why he loves going over to Bo and Vincent's house 👀) But when you came along he trusts you to go shopping alone, or either with Bo or your friends. He knows that he doesn't get home till sunset and around that time he's tired and exhausted and doesn't wanna go out.
- Another guy whos all for going shopping either after midnight or before, so he can have a quick nap when he gets home before leaving with you, he probably hasn't even heard of 24-hour shops before. He acts so surprised when you say that there are
- Lester is much like Bo, he has a list of like 5-10 things he needs and he walks out carrying the most random and useless shit ever, only because they looked cool or the design of them. So yes he has brought a thing only because it looked cool, and more than once.
- OKAY BUT LIKE HEAR ME OUT! LESTER ABSOLUTELY LOVES THE PET SECTION. He's grabbing things from left to right and throwing them into the cart, I would not lie to you when I say he has to buy at least 1-5 things for Jonsey whenever he goes shopping, it's always toys or treats.
- He mostly buys wherever, to be honest, for example, he knows what's healthy and not and he knows that he wants you to be healthy so he probably lets you handle most of the food. Whatever you get he's happy, so if your the cook of the house expect Lester to just agree with what your getting, I mean your the boss to him.
- He is also staring at the guns too, but mostly staring at the knives (Hunting knives, Pocket knives, etc). They look so shiny and beautiful. and considering I guess they don't cost much, he'll ask you for approval before asking one of the employees to unlock the case it's in.
- Also gets himself lost a concerning amount of times, he needs a leash I swear, for example, you could be looking away for one second and when you turn your head he's gone. They probably have one of the employees talk over the speaker and yell out your name to come to get Lester.
