LOSING MY F2P STATUS TO BE AN EXPENSIVE DILUC MAIN

approximately one million years ago you wrote a little 3 sentence fic about office workers George and Alex and I’m wondering how things are going for them IF you had any divine musings
Wolff finally takes mercy on them; hires three people for social media management. It’s only taken George half a year and two ppt-s to convince him that being under 30 doesn’t automatically qualify you as competent, and anyway his age is a depreciating asset. But they’re here now, and it’s great – they love to feature him, still, but at least it’s not him who has to edit the godforsaken TikTok videos to perfectly match the audio. 
The only downside is that with the new colleagues, they desks no longer fit into the corner of the second floor where George has been withering away for the past two years. It wouldn’t make sense to separate the comms team, so Claire makes them move up to the third. It makes more sense to be with the marketing team, anyway, she says. But now they have got the sales department on the other side, and in the open-plan office there’s just a lot more calls George has to listen to while he drafts the copies for the latest campaign. It makes him miss the data analysts. 
For the first few weeks, it’s not that bad. He either gets lunch with the new coworkers, trying to get to know the boys and girls in the marketing team, or has half a pack of crisps while trying to finish a press release, wiping his hand after every bite to avoid staining his laptop. Then the onboarding finally finishes and he doesn’t need to spend two hours each day to explain the ropes to Frederik. 
All of a sudden, he looks around, watches everyone else type away or nod at their screens with their most faux-genuine face, and he feels deeply, excruciatingly alone. He picks up his phone, opening the WhatsApp thread with Alex. Instead of the steady flow of texts, he can see the date annotated after every message or two. 
He’s told himself that the distance might do them good; that it’ll be healthy to stop looking over at Alex after every joke he cracks, that he shouldn’t be so attuned with Alex’s tea refills. A pint or two on Fridays would still be fine – hunched over a barrel in lieu of a table on the pavement, shoulders pressed together and complaining about the bloody ridiculous prices. But he didn’t expect this. The hollow, tender part in his ribcage that feels half-filled with regret as he thumbs through Alex’s texts about how he didn’t know Quality Assurance could be so bad, and maybe George should still be doing that much overtime if it meant that Alex didn’t have to listen to one more overzealous phone apology. 
You think Sales is much better? he sends back. It’s just past noon. Wanna grab an early lunch? 
YES. You won’t believe the bs Marko pulled this morning, Alex sends back almost immediately. 
George shuts his laptop, doesn’t announce that he’s getting food for once, lest someone tries to join him. Walking back into data analysis should not make anyone feel fond, yet here he is; the philodendron on Patrick’s desk has a new leaf. 
“Here to pick Alex up?” Patrick asks, pushing his headphones back. It makes George’s stomach warm, both with embarrassment and, mortifyingly, with pride. 
“You know how he is,” he tells Patrick, “gets lost in those Excel sheets and I’ll starve to death.” 
“I’m ready, shut up,” Alex says, saving his work with a few efficient motions. “First person to complain about me in the sheets, I’ll tell you that–” 
“And how would I know?” George asks, trying to ignore the hot shiver that runs up his spine. Alex whips around and George almost walks into his chest; when he raises his eyes, Alex is looking at him with his head tilted, like he’s a pattern Alex needs to find in a set of corrupted data.

The Things You Give Part 30
I'M BAAAACCCCKKKKKK!
Hello, my beautiful people. It's been so, so long. I was stuck for a long while on this chapter, but I hope I did it justice. I can't believe that we're already on 30 chapters! I never thought it would go this long. But here we are! As always, enjoy the chapter!
Tumblr media
“Do I smell brownies?” Red asked as he entered the kitchen. Kitty was hunched over the counter, cutting up and arranging the freshly baked brownies. He smiled and reached one for one. “Thanks, Kitty.”
“Oh, good, now that you’re in a good mood,” she said and swiped her hands together. “Let’s talk about the baby shower.”
 “Oh, come on!” he griped with a mouthful of chocolate. “I just want to eat my brownie in peace. Now, why would you want to ruin that?”
“I don’t think we should make the kids pay for their own baby shower,” his wife continued. “I figured we can pay for the food and decorations.”
“And they can pay for the location?” he asked, taking a bite of the chocolatey goodness.
“No…” Kitty said, trailing off. “We can actually have it he—”
“No!” he boomed, dragging out the vowel. “No parties! No more! Our house is starting to smell like a frat house from all the parties that you like to throw!”
She squinted her eyes at him and placed a fist on her hip. “How would you know what a frat house smells like, Red?”
He cleared his throat, feeling uncomfortable, and scrambled for an answer. “Well, I…uh…this isn’t about me! This is about you and wanting to throw a damn party here!”
Kitty opened her mouth to respond, but was cut off by the basement door flinging open and stomping.
“Y/n, come on!” Hyde cried out from the stairs, following after his wife.
“Get bent, Steven!” Y/n screeched as she entered into the kitchen, heading towards the sliding door.
“I’m sorry, okay?! What can I do to make it better?” he begged.
“Just leave me alone!”
“What is going on here?” Kitty asked.
 “Steven is hiding money from me!” Y/n blurted. “And not just a few bucks—no, a couple thousand!”
“WHAT!” Red and Kitty said unison.
“Y/n!” Steven cried out, rubbing a hand down his face.
“You’re telling me that you can not only afford this damn party by yourself, you can also afford to move out?” Red asked, annoyed.
“Where is this money?” Y/n demanded, placing her hands on her hips. Steven was grateful she diverted the attention back to her instead of having to answer to her angry father. “It can’t be in our bank account because the last time I checked, the money wasn’t in there.”
Steven’s head snapped up. “You’ve been checking my bank account?”
His question took Y/n a bit by surprise. “Our bank account. And yes. I keep track and budget our finances.”
“No, it’s my bank account,” he said, growing irritated. “The money that I make goes in there.”
“Steven, I’m warning you: Don’t. Go. Down. That. Road,” Red said, eyeing his son-in-law. “Trust me, this a trap. Don’t fall for it.”
“What the hell do you mean the money that you make goes in there?” Y/n spit. “Regardless of what’s what, it’s still our money. Now, answer my question!”
“No, no, I’m pumping the brakes on this one,” Steven said. “I make the money by going to my job. I bring home the paycheck by putting it into my bank account. The only thing you do is spend it all!”
Rage flickered in Y/n’s eyes. If Steven didn’t know any better, he swore he was looking right into Death’s stare. “What did you just say to me?”
“I told you not to go down that road,” Red sang-song, mumbling under his breath while he flicked through a newspaper.
“Did I stutter?” Hyde spat with venom.
“Do you realize that if it weren’t for me, we’d have no money at all?” she asked, resisting the urge to wrap her hands around his neck. “We’d have nothing to buy food, or afford our car insurance, or have a savings—but by the sound of it, that’s not even a problem!”
“So, what’s your point?” he asked her.
“That it’s our money!” she yelled. “You may be the one making it, but I’m the one managing it!”
“And the one spending it!” he retaliated.
 “What the hell does that mean?”
“Oh, he doesn’t mean anything by it,” Kitty said, intervening.
“No, Mom, he does,” Y/n said, not breaking eye contact with her husband. “Tell me, how do I spend it?” She spit while sharply enunciating the last syllables.
"Well, for starters, when you spend it all on unnecessary food."
“Yeah, because I’m pregnant with cravings—next,” she said impatiently.
“When you went out the other night to buy us some dinner and came back with bags of crap that you didn’t need!”
“What crap?” she asked, knitting her eyebrows together. After a second, it clicked and she realized what he was talking about. “Are you talking about the baby clothes I brought home?”
Steven looked down, unknowing about the baby clothes.
Y/n stepped back in absolute disgust and awe. “You really think I’d just piss away the money, don't you?"
“No, that’s not it—” Steven said gently, but was cut off once again.
“Never mind why you’re hiding it from me, even though we will be having that talk later,” she growled. “I wanna know what it’s for. Why do you have a two grand saved up?”
He shook his head, embarrassed.
 “Now you won’t tell me the reason?” Y/n asked. “You’re such an ass, man!”
“Oh, come on, don’t be like that—”
“No!” she shouted, tears in her eyes. “You don’t trust me with ‘your’ money, you don’t trust to tell me what it’s even for…what kind of marriage is this if you don’t trust me?”
His hardened gaze barley softened as he stared at his emotional and angry wife. “Fine,” he said after a minute. “I’m putting money away for a house. There, ya happy?”
“A house?” she blinked. “You’re hiding this money from me so we can buy a house. And you felt the need to hide that from me? What the hell, Steven? Did you honestly think I’d be upset about that?”
“No,” he said and inched closer to her. “It’s…complicated.”
“How is it complicated? We’ve known each other for years and you still can’t tell me what you’re feeling?!” she seethed.
“Look, can we have this conversation later when we’re alone? And not when you’re so…pregnant angry?” he asked, actively avoiding his in-laws stares.
“Pregnant angry?” Y/n spat. “What the hell does that even mean?”
“Well, you’re already intense when you’re not pregnant and angry. Now that you’re pregnant—”
“Don’t say it,” Red murmured from the corner of his mouth.
“You’re friggin’ terrifying, man.”
Red sighed. “And he said it.”
“Alright, I’m done,” she said and tried to storm out the kitchen, but in reality looked like an angry waddling pregnant.
“Where you going?” Steven asked her.
“Anywhere you’re not!” She slammed the sliding door shut and stomped off, allowing herself to blow off some steam.
 Steven sighed and turned to face Kitty and Red.
 “Am I wrong?” he asked them.
“Steven, you’ve only been married for a short time. So, let me guide you through,” Red said, setting down his newspaper.
 “What—the ‘Hide-In-The-Garage-To-Avoid-My-Wife Guide?’” Steven snarked.
 “You do what?!” Kitty shrieked.
  “No,” Red said calmly, smirking. “But I am about to give you the ‘My-Foot-In-Your-Ass Guide.’” Steven went silent and Red took that as his cue to continue. “When you’ve been married for as long as we have, you pick up a few tricks to keep a happy marriage.” He stood up to meet with Steven who was standing at the counter next to Kitty. “Rule number one: Happy wife, happy life. You’re only as happy as your wife. Because if she’s not than she can make your life a living hell.”
“You know, I’d normally be upset and protest, but I agree with this one,” Kitty said and smirked. She eyed Red and grabbed a brownie. “And don’t you forget it, Red Forman.” She walked out the kitchen, swaying her hips.
“Okay, now that she’s gone,” Red continued once the door swung shut. “Rule number two: if you’re going to open up a secret bank account, DON’T tell your wife about it!”
                                                           ∞∞∞
“I can’t believe it. I just can’t freakin’ believe it,” Y/n fumed as she paced around Donna’s living room. “He has a secret savings account and didn’t tell me because he doesn’t trust me! What the hell!”
“I know,” Donna agreed, shaking her head. As much as she wanted to comfort her friend, she didn’t know what to say in this situation.
 “And me out of all people!” she continued. “Me! The one who helped convinced my dad to let him stay with us when he had nowhere to go. Me! The one who pushes him to his best potential. ME! The one who was able to keep our relationship under wraps!”
“Normally, I’d agree with you, but the last part made me realize maybe that’s why Hyde was trepidatious to tell you,” Donna said quietly before averting her gaze from Y/n’s fiery one.
    “Oh, what do you know?” Y/n snapped and plopped onto the couch, crossing her arms. “You know what hurts the most? Out of everything we’ve been through, he does something like this.”
 “I know.” Donna rubbed a comforting hand on Y/n’s back.
“He’s such a jerk! I could just—oh, ow,” Y/n said suddenly, hands flying to her stomach.
Donna looked at her concerned. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m just—oh, my God, ow!” She gripped her stomach, leaning forward. “Something hurts!”
“Oh, my God,” Donna said, eyes widening and shot off the couch. “Don’t tell me you’re in labor!”
“The babies aren’t due for another three months!” Y/n strained, pain radiating across her stomach. The tightness was so uncomfortable she had doubled over, groaning. “I need Steven.”
“You need a hospital,” Donna countered, forcing her panic down and staying calm. “Come on, let’s get you to the car.”
“My keys are at my house.” Sweat started to bead on her hairline. “I don’t think I can make it.” Tears started to brim her eyes. “Oh, God, I hope my babies are okay!”
“They’ll be fine,” she responded reassuringly and grabbed Y/n's hand. “Come on, get in my car and I can run over and get Hyde.”
Another painful wave hit that made her knees buckle. “Oh, God!” She used Donna’s hand as leverage and squeezed so hard she felt some pops.
“Ow—oh, my God!” Donna cried out, not letting go of Y/n’s hand. “It’s a good thing we’re going to the hospital, right?”
“Yeah,” Y/n whined.
As the girls made their way to Donna’s car, they came into view of the guys in the driveway. They were sitting in the chairs, chatting when they saw a hunched over Y/n.
“Yeah, anyway, so I said, ‘Caroline, I can’t keep doing this,’” Fez said. “’I know I put you back in the looney bin, but I can’t have you stab me if I come to visit you.’”
“Fez, man, does this story end anytime soon?” Hyde asked, annoyed. “You’ve been going on about this for the last hour.”
Fez frowned. “I was going to say that she didn’t end up stabbing me.”
“Good for you,” Markus said, bordering sarcasm. “You shouldn’t date a girl that tries to stab you.”
“I mean, we still got to do it,” Fez said, shrugging.
“Oh, so you got the conjugal visit, then?” Eric asked, smirking.
Fez’s face scrunched up in confusion. “A what now?”
“A visit made for sex,” Hyde responded boredly. His eyes lazily glanced up to see Donna leading a hunched over Elena to the car. “Oh, my God,” he mumbled. “Y/n!”
Everyone snapped their heads to look at Y/n who was doubled over in pain. Eric stood abruptly, quickly making his way over.
The girls looked over to him who was running over to his wife.
 “What’s wrong? What’s happening?” he asked, questions racing out. He placed his hand on her back and took her other hand.
 “She’s in a lot of pain,” Donna responded, unlocking her car.
“Pain?!” Hyde cried out. “Where?!”
“M-my s-stomach,” Y/n hissed as another wave of pain crashed into her. She groaned and gripped onto her best friend’s and husband’s hands tightly.
“What?!” Hyde yelled. “Oh, my God, get in the car. I’m going with.”
"Yeah, me too," Eric said and got in the back from the opposite side of Hyde.
 “I sure would hope so,” Y/n groaned as she got into the car. “You’re a bozo, not a piece of crap.”
 “Yeah, about that,” Hyde said as he climbed into the back behind her. “I’m really sorry about earlier—”
“Yeah, can we talk about this later?” Y/n cut in. “I just want to make sure our kids are fine—son of a bitch!” She clutched at her stomach and smacked back against her seat. Tears pooled at the corner of her eyes as the pain radiated.
“Alright, hold on tight,” Donna said, turning the car on. “Things are going to be a little fast.”
                                                          ∞∞∞
“Everything looks fine,” the emergency room doctor said as he finished up looking over Y/n. “What you were experiencing was Braxton-Hicks contractions.”
“Braxton what?” Hyde asked.
“Braxton-Hicks. It’s her body preparing for the real labor,” he responded. “Usually you’ll only feel a mild discomfort. Most women don’t even feel them.”
“Mild discomfort my ass,” Y/n bit.
The doctor chuckled and patted her shoulder. “You did good coming in. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I’m going to go ahead and get your release papers ready. You folks have a good day.”
As the doctor walked out, Donna handed Y/n her clothes. “We'll give you two some privacy.” She and Eric headed out the door, closing it behind them.
An awkward silence fell between them as Y/n let the hospital gown pool at her feet. She grabbed her dress and pulled it over her head.
“So…” Hyde said after a minute of silence. “I’m glad you’re okay. You had me worried.”
“Thanks,” Y/n said, disinterested in anything he had to say.
“Are you still mad at me?” he asked, shuffling closer to her.
She gave him side eye. “What do you think?”
“C’mon, Doll, I’m—I’m not…look, I’m sorry, okay?”
“Yeah, you’ve said that already,” she mumbled as she finished getting dressed.
“Don’t be like that,” he said quietly. “I know I messed up, but please let me make it up to you.”
 “I’m sure you will. Just…please take me home,” she said, locking eyes with him for the first time that day.
He nodded solemnly. “Okay.”
                                           --Scene Transition—
As the Hydes reached the driveway, they entered the kitchen wordlessly. Kitty was in the middle of cooking dinner, stirring a pot of soup.
“Where have you two been?” she asked them, barley looking up.
“We were at the hospital,” Y/n said, preparing for the screaming.
“WHAT?!” Kitty screeched, completely forgetting about the soup. “Why?!”
“I was having some pain, but don’t worry, they’re just Braxton-Hicks.”
Kitty let out a sigh of relief as she turned back to the pot. “I could’ve told you that. Every woman has them.”
“Well, we didn’t know that and I thought something was wrong with the babies,” Y/n answered sourly.
“You still should’ve told me,” Kitty replied. “I would’ve gone with you.”
“It’s okay, Steven and Donna and Eric were with me.”
 “Are you giving birth to Donna’s children or my grandchildren?” Kitty quirked an eyebrow.
“Oh, come on, Mom. Please not now,” Y/n said rubbing her face. “I’m tired and want to go to bed.”
The basement door swung open, revealing Eric. "Hey, Y/n, how are you feeling?"
“I think I’m going to go lie down. I’m so drained from today.”
"Y/n, it's only seven o' clock," Hyde said.
“Do you want me to come with you?” Steven asked.
“No,” she said shortly. “I want to be alone.”
He didn’t respond as watched his wife exit the kitchen.
“Man, I really screwed up,” Hyde said, glaring at the table.
“She’ll get over it,” Eric shrugged. “She always does.”
“No, this is something pretty big,” Kitty interjected, finishing up dinner. “You hid money from her; that’s not something you lightly get over.”
 “What can I do Mrs. Forman?” Hyde asked desperately. “I told her that I’m saving up for a house so we can have a life in it, but she doesn’t want to hear any of it.”
“You can surprise her with a gift,” she suggested.
“Like what? Flowers and jewelry aren’t going to make up for what I did.”
It was silent between the three of them until a sparkle flashed in Kitty’s eyes. “I have an idea.”
                                           --The Next Day—
“Where’s Hyde?” Markus asked as the gang hung out in the basement the next day.
“I don’t know,” Y/n sighed, sucking on a popsicle. “I haven’t seen him since this morning.”
Donna, Eric, and Jackie looked at each other, knowing exactly what was going on.
“Huh, weird,” Markus replied. “I would think he would’ve told you.”
“Well, I haven’t spoke to him since yesterday.” She shrugged. “I’m still mad at him, so right now I couldn’t care less.”
“Harsh,” Fez said. “Don’t you think you should hear the guy out? I mean, you guys are married after all.”
 “Just because we’re married doesn’t mean I want to look or talk to him right now,” Y/n responded. “He hid money from me and told me he didn’t trust me enough to tell me. He said what he said.”
“Hey, Y/n did you know that your feet and toes will swell up twice the size and never go back down?” Eric spoke up, reading from the pregnancy book.
“Oh, and you’re pregnant with twins so your toes will be swollen four times as big!” Kelso chortled.
“What?!” Y/n screeched and looked down at her sandaled feet already noticing the swelling.
Eric cackled. “This never gets old.”
“Bite me,” Y/n snapped and threw a pillow at her brother’s head.
Someone coming down the stairs interrupted their conversation.
“Hey, Y/n ” Steven said, coming down. “Can you come upstairs for a second?”
She turned, glaring at her husband. “For what?”
“I want to show you something.”
“No, I’m okay right here,” she spit and turned her back on him.
“Y/n, come on. Please?”
She rolled her eyes and groaned. “Fine.” She stood and followed him upstairs. “Last time you said something like that, I ended up pregnant!”
“What am I going to do? You’re already knocked up,” Hyde pointed out.
“You’d think I’d be used to hearing them by now, but I’m not,” Eric snarked, pressing his lips into a thin line. “Gross.”
"Payback's a bitch, isn't it?" Y/n cackled as she and Hyde made their way up the stairs.
Hyde grabbed his wife’s hand as he continued to lead her up the stairs towards the bedrooms.
“Whatever this is isn’t going to make up for what you did,” she said. “What you said hurt.”
“I know,” he responded, rubbing circles onto her hand with his thumb. “And I’m sorry. I’m hoping what I did might help you to start to forgive me.”
Hyde led her all the way down the hall and stopped in front of Laurie’s old room.
“Why did you take me to Laurie’s room?” Y/n questioned. “Are you pointing out that she left again? Because, hello? Where have you been?”
Hyde smiled and titled his chin at her. “Close your eyes.”
“Why?”
“Just do it.”
She sighed heavily and did what she was told. Steven opened the door and guided her inside. “Okay, you can open your eyes.”
When she did, she saw a barren room, except for two white cribs backed against the walls, adjacent from each other. On each side were plain dressers and changing tables.
“What..?” she asked, confused.
“I’ve been at this all day; cleaned out the furniture and went baby shopping. I wasn’t sure if you wanted to come with me, but I went with your mom and got the basics to help you out with some of the stress. We can decorate together—and if you don’t like the cribs, we can still take them back and get something else—”
He was cut off by Y/n ’s slamming her body into his and wrapping him in her arms. Burying her face in his neck, she could feel her eyes welling up. “I love it.”
He embraced her back and kissed her head. “Really?”
She nodded, not trusting her voice.
 “Does that mean you forgive me?”
 She pulled away and looked at him. “Of course, Steven. This was so thoughtful. No matter how mad I get at you, I’ll always forgive you. You’re my husband and I’m not going to throw away our marriage for something like this.”
He smiled down at her before dipping his head down to place a sweet kiss on her lips, but before he could, she stopped him by placing her hand on his lips, blocking him.
“Hang on, Romeo, you have some explaining to do.” He looked at her seriously through his aviators. “What made you think you couldn’t trust me?”
He sighed and rubbed his neck. “I-I don’t know. I just wanted to stop arguing and I said the first thing that came to mind.”
 “Oh ‘cause that worked out great,” she deadpanned.
“Yeah, I know.” He grabbed her hands and held them gently in his. “I guess I didn’t want to get your hopes up just in case things fell through. Knowing my luck, it wouldn’t have and I didn’t want you to be disappointed. I didn’t want to be the reason why.”
 “Steven,” she said, placing her hands on either side of his face. “No matter what happens, you will never be my disappointment. In fact, you’ll always be my greatest achievement.”
 He smiled and placed a hand over her right one. “And you’re mine.”
 She smiled back at him as he leaned down towards her lips. After he placed a sweet peck, he pulled back. “If you ever tell anyone this—”
“Yeah, yeah, you’ll deny it.”
He smiled coyly. “That’s my girl.”
                                              --Time Skip—
“Okay, I don’t understand why you’re taking a camera on your road trip,” Y/n said, as Hyde, Donna, Red, and Kitty helped Eric pack up the car. “You should be packing more sensible items like toilet paper—”
“And your mother,” Kitty cut in, giving him a nervous smile. “A road trip isn’t complete without her, ya know!”
“Look, Mom,” Eric began. “Accept it. I’m going. My year is off is officially over and I’ve decided that I need to find a sensible career for myself that’s going to provide a steady and fulfilling future: I’m going to be a traveling documentary filmmaker.”
 “Oh, come on, you made that up!” Red cried out and raised his hands in the air. “Hey, Kitty, I’m going to go ice skating on a rainbow!”
“Eric, don’t listen to him,” Donna said, stepping in front of Kitty. “I have complete confidence you’re going to be the best docu-whatsit-who-maker ever.”
 He nodded with a smirk. “Thank you, Donna.”  
“Okay,” Kitty piped up, pushing Donna aside. “Do you have enough money?”
“Oh, I don’t need much,” he responded. “I’m sure on stops along the way I’ll meet some kind strangers will just offer me a hot pot of beans in exchange from some colorful stories from the road.”
Y/n gave him a look. “Hot beans? Dude, you can’t even chew cinnamon gum!”
Eric sighed through his nose. “Alright, that’s it. I’m off.” He turned to Y/n. “I’ll, uh, miss you—”
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” she quipped and turned on her heel, walking inside.
“Yeah, well…at least I don’t waddle when I walk!”
“Yep, that’ll teach her, Forman.” Hyde clapped his shoulder. “Oh, and a little piece of advise: if you see a bear on one of your camping trips, make sure to get to high ground like a tree. Bears can’t climb trees.”
Eric nodded, but then scrunched his eyebrows together. “Wait, I don’t think—”
“Okay, that’s enough,” Kitty said impatiently. “Call me every night at 9:00 so that I know you’re safe.”
“Oh, no he won’t be doing that because he’ll be calling me,” Donna said. “That’s why I got him the watch as a gift.”
“No, he’ll be calling me, right Eric? You know, the one who gave you life.”
“So, what, you squeezed out a baby. That was like a hundred years ago!”
“You listen here, little missy—”
Eric looked between the two women, sweat starting to bead on his forehead.
“Okay, Eric!” Red boomed, breaking up the fight and rounded the car. “You best get on your way.”
“Right, right,” he responded and pulled out the camera. “Just one second.” He turned the camera on, pressing record. “Hello, America! And welcome to Eric Forman’s Journey Across America: The Things You Didn’t Know. Here, I plan on having you travel with me as we journey across the historical land of our Great Nation. Come, come with me to witness the unknown that can be right in your backyard.” He winked at the camera before pressing the button to cut recording.
“Oh, my God,” Hyde groaned. “I’m leaving before this gets more ridiculous. Later.”
“’The Journey Across America?’” Red mocked. “Come on, I could’ve told you all about that.”
“It’s not stupid, Dad. It’s something I can show my viewers about what they don’t know. I think it’ll be educational.”
“What it is, is stupid,” Red replied, rolling his eyes.
"Dad, no offense, but I don't think my viewers are going to only want to hear about your gory time in Korea."
"It'd still be better than this crap."
Eric stared at him with a grave face. “Bye.”
                                             --Time Skip—
“Alright, folks. Here we are, beginning our journey together,” Eric said to the camera. “I’ll tell ya, being on the road like this, really makes me feel like ma—ah! Ah! Ah!” He screamed as he felt pop on his tire that veered him off the road.
When he was finally able to regain control of the car—and his breathing—he looked at the camera embarrassed. “Okay, I guess I can edit that part out later.” He turned the camera off and stepped out the car, sighing heavily to himself. “Please don’t be anything expensive,” he prayed.
“When he saw a flat tire, he sighed in relief. “It’s just a flat, I can totally fix that!” He pulled out the camera and adjusted it accordingly before pressing record again. “What we’ve learned so far is that Mother Nature can be a cruel mistress. She caresses her tire with her…asphalt…” He cleared his throat. “And then the next, she punctures. But not to worry, because that didn’t stop me from making it out of point place!”
He looked around at the tree overgrowth on the side of the road, to only turn around to a sign that said, “You are now leaving Point Place.” “No problemo, we’ve got the spare tire in the back. Let’s get it, shall we?”
                                    A few minutes later…
“So, there is no spare tire,” he said to the camera, feeling defeated and nervous. “And it’s, uh, really dark out. And I’m alone.” He started to hyperventilate and get squeaky. “I want my mommy.”
                                             Meanwhile…
“So, have you guys thought of names yet?” Donna asked the Hydes as they were sat at the kitchen table enjoying some snacks.
“Not yet,” Y/n responded and reached for a strawberry, the sweet juices lightening up her taste buds. “I don’t even know what kind of twins we’re having. Same-sex or boy-girl. I don’t even kn—Steven, what are you staring at?”
 Steven, shamelessly, had been staring at her chest the whole time. “Man, your boobs are HUGE.”
Y/n clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Hey, not in front of our friend.”
“Oh, because this is so much better than all the other times?” Donna smirked, taking a sip from her soda.
Y/n sighed and finished the treat. “You got any ideas?”
“Well, I’ve always thought you could have a gender neutral name,” Donna suggested. “Like Jordan or Blake?”
“Jordan Hyde?” Y/n asked. “I guess that doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Nah,” Hyde said. “I have a cousin named Jordan and he’s in prison for committing tax fraud. I also have another cousin named Jordan and she’s in prison for shooting her husband.”
“Wow,” Y/n responded. “So, Jordan’s off the table. What about Blake?”
“Blake Hyde,” Steven pondered. “Maybe. What about Harper?”
“I don’t know. I had a Harper in elementary school who tried to give me a swirly. Rather not have that reminder of that bitch. How bout Sawyer?”
He made a face. “No, got a cousin in prison for arson. Johnathan?”
“Too common. Alexander?”
“Maybe. I don’t have any cousins in prisons with that name. What about Penelope?”
“In this small town?” Y/n asked. “Not a chance. Layla?”
“Layla Hyde..? I don’t know, sounds kind of weird. Chloe?”
She shrugged. “That doesn’t sound too bad. Avery.”
“Veto.”
“Okay, let’s discuss this later,” Y/n finally said. “We’ve still got time.”
“And you still have a baby shower to plan,” Donna pointed out.
“Crap, I forgot about that.” She rubbed her face. “Okay, fine, how should we do this?”
“I think we should…we could…um…” Donna stumbled, thinking hard. “Oh, crap.”
Y/n sighed. “We’re screwed.”
“Well, you do have one other option,” Steven piped up. “You could ask—”
Y/n gasped. “No, don’t say it!”
“J—”
“Hyde, no!” Donna cried out. “You say her name and she appears like a frickin’ genie.”
“Jackie,” he finished with a smirk.
“Ugh, he said it,” Y/n mumbled.
“Hey, guys!” Jackie chirped as she walked in through the sliding door.
“Son of a BITCH,” Y/n cried out. “How do you always do this?”
“Do what?” she asked innocently.
“Show up whenever we say your name! Do your ears burn or something?” Donna asked, baffled.
Jackie tilted her head, confused. “Uh…no? Are you guys okay?”
“No, we’re not okay,” Y/n grumbled. “I completely forgot that we need to plan my baby shower and have no idea what to do.”
“Oh! Can I help?” she asked. “I love planning parties.”
“I know you do,” Y/n smirked. “Well, you did plan my bachelorette party, so that was fun. Just…no male strippers at this one, okay?”
Hyde snapped his head towards his bride. “Male what?”
“Oh, don’t act all innocent. I know you went to a strip club,” she snapped.
“Uh…no, I didn’t?”
She rolled her eyes. “Save it.” She turned back to Jackie. “Any ideas?”
“Not yet, but I know it’s going to include something luxurious.”
“No, no Jackie. Nothing big,” Y/n said. “Just something small with our friends and family. I don’t know if I want to go bed at 4am again.”
“No, nothing like that!” Jackie defended. “Something to tell everybody else that you’re better than them!” She squealed. “Oh, I gotta go home and plan this! Catch ya later!”
She skipped out the kitchen, leaving the three there.
At that moment, Kitty burst through the door. “Have you guys heard from Eric?”
All three shook their heads.
“Eric was supposed to call at 9:00 and it’s now 9:04! Something bad happened to him, I just know it.”
“It’s only four minutes, Mom. I’m sure he’s fine.”
“No, no,” Kitty shook her head. “My mother’s intuition is saying otherwise. I’m going to go find him.”
Y/n rolled her eyes, knowing there was no point in arguing with her mom. “I’ll get Dad.”
“I’ll get the car,” Hyde said, standing.
“And I’ll get my jacket,” Donna responded.
                                     --Time Skip—
It wasn’t long until they all found the Vista Cruiser at the edge of town. They all got out of the car and found the flat tire with no Eric in sight.
“Eric!”  Kitty called. “Oh, my God, Red! What if he was kidnapped by white slavers? He can’t do anything, he’ll be killed!”
“I told him this was a stupid idea,” Red seethed. “And now we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere. My foot is shaking from wanting to kick his ass so bad!”
“I should’ve never let him leave,” Donna said, shaking her head. “I should’ve tempted him into staying home with sex—”
Kitty sharply turned to face Donna.
“I mean scrabble,” Donna finished.
“Oh, please. If my baby depended on you being loose then I wouldn’t have to worry.”
“Can we focus, please?” Y/n asked, waddling over to the car. “He clearly couldn’t change the tire and went off to get some help.”
“Alright, let’s get back in the car and find this bozo,” Red muttered and stepped back into the car, slamming the door shut.
                                --Time Skip—
“Alright listen,” Hyde said as they all entered a diner where they believed Eric was. “This type of establishment is well known to criminals, okay? So I want you to stay close, and if there's any trouble, I'm gonna use you guys as a human shield.”
“Not if I sacrifice you first,” Y/n said, glaring at her husband.
“I don't like the looks of these people. They seem like they could tease a polite young man about his sweater and then laugh when he starts to cry,” Kitty said impatiently.
“See, that's the problem. Maybe if you didn't baby Eric so much, he wouldn't have had to leave to prove himself,” Donna said, growing annoyed.
“Well, maybe if you hadn't exhausted him with your sexual demands, he wouldn't have had to leave just to get some sleep,” Kitty bit back.
Red help up his hand, a headache coming on from their constant arguing. “All right, that's enough, you two. If Eric's in trouble, he deserves it, because he should know better by now.”
“You sound like you don’t care at all!” Kitty said.
“It's not a matter of not caring,” Red replied, shrugging his shoulders. “It’s a matter of not giving a crap.”
Kitty gaped at him with furrowed brows before huffing at him and turned around.
“Hey, Red, they got ‘Rhinestone cowboy.’ Toss me a quarter,” Hyde piped up from behind him.
“Shut up,” Red snapped, ignoring his son-in-law.
“For your information, Eric comes after me a lot more than I go after him,” Donna said after a minute of silence.
“You know, all you damn redheads are the same!” Kitty said.
“What the hell does that mean?!”
“It means that—!”
“Alright, I’m going back in the car,” Y/n cut in. “You’re getting on my nerves with all your arguing.”
                                        A Little While Later…
“Well, it turns out I have a couple of problems with being a traveling documentary filmmaker,” Eric stated as he stood in front of the car with the camera set up in front of him. “One... The traveling. It's exhausting. Two... Documentaries. I only like ones that are...You know, about monkeys. And three...Filmmaking.” He sighed and looked down for a minute before looking back up at the camera.
“If there's no space battles, I mean, you know, really, what's the point? I'll tell you something. This day has not been a waste. I realized what I really wanna do with my life is just get the hell out of Point Place.”
He closed his eyes, relief flooding him as he finally said it. “I'm ready to do that. I really feel like this trip made me a man.”
Out from the distance near the thicket, a voice called out in the darkness. “Eric?!”
“Mommy?!” Eric called back, his childlike gentleness taking over again.
“Thank God you're okay!” Red said.
“Thanks, Dad, but I’m okay,” Eric replied with a content grin on his face.
“Not you, the car,” he replied roughly.
“Eric, your mom called me a whore,” Donna said defensively.
“Only because I was worried about you and love you more than she does,” Kitty replied.
“Ugh, Mom,” Y/n said from behind them and stepped in front of them. “You have no idea what it was like riding in the car with them. Can I ride back with you?”
His lips formed in a thin a line as he nodded. “Nice to see you, too, Sis.”
“Hey, dudes! I got that waitress’s number!” Leo cried out, emerging from the thicket.
“Leo?” Hyde asked. “What’re you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at home right now?”
“I got hungry and wanted a bite to eat.”
“Leo, man, you’re like forty five minutes away…” Hyde pointed out.
“Yeah, I got lost,” the old hippie chuckled.
“Hey, I’m glad that everyone is safe and happy, but can we go now? Cookie dough ice cream and the Andy Griffith show are calling my name and I’d like to get home before I miss it,” Y/n interrupted, her patience gone.
“Y/n, the Andy Griffith show has been off the air for ten years now,” Hyde pointed out.
“It reminds me of a simpler time,” she responded casually. “Alright, people. Good night, I’m getting in the car.”
“Yeah, I’m joining you,” Donna said and followed Y/n into the car.
Steven turned to Leo. "Do you need a ride home?"
"Nah, man, it's back at the diner," Leo replied. "Now, if I can just remember where that is..."
Hyde chuckled and clapped his friend on the back. "C'mon man, I'll take you." He turned to Y/n. "I'll see you at home."
She nodded as she put her seat belt on.
“Nice, now I got two moody women in my car,” Eric grumbled as he stepped into the car.
In unison, the two women yelled,
“Shut UP, Eric!”

Ufff, The thought of like a massive Stiles has got me a bit going recently. Going from skinny to a pot-belly before it transforms into a proper gut, and it only escalates from there as his belly starts stretching out beyond his knees, getting further and further past the point of him being able to get his arms even halfway across it, with the rest of himself porking up at the same time. Lost in a haze of hedonism and pleasure as he outweighs the pack thrice over while being pampered by them all~
Yes!! Stiles screams- lazy and people enable me. High school? He’s running around and in danger and possessed…and then he goes off to college.
Comes back after a year and the freshman 30- but everyone just thinks wow Stiles looks so healthy! No bruises and bags under his eyes, looks like just the normal freshman 15!
And then sophomore year- he’s taking easy classes, getting his general courses out of the way (and Lydia huffs about it, but her own double packed schedule still isn’t challenging enough for her, so she occasionally can be convinced to do Stiles’ assignments). And that’s when his waistline really balloons. He’s at frat parties chugging beer and smoking weed…partially surrounded by werewolves. Scott can’t get drunk but he blends in by still drinking beers, but forgets how many is normal and Stiles is by his side doing one for one with an always sober wolf.
Scott is often lugging around a sloshing, bloated belly Stiles from parties (and when he slurs and hiccups out they should get pizza, they of course oblige).
Their dorm has adopted a haze of weed, the smell of Stiles jerking off, and the constant influx of takeout and snacks.
So he comes back to Beacon Hills at a tubby 350 pounds after graduating.
And the Sheriff….makes a few comments about his sons growing waistline but he can’t say he’s disappointed that Stiles fails the fitness test for the FBI and settles for the much safer option- a business degree instead.
***
And 4 years of college? Stiles has definitely discovered he’s too lazy to care about his weight. He loves eating, hates working out, and doesn’t mind that as a result he’s got a belly that hides his feet when he looks down and full blown double chin.
So maybe it’s not a full fetish…but when comes back into his life and starts feeding him? He’s not complaining. Because it makes sense- everyone in the pack seems content that their human pack mate is steadily expanding in front of their eyes, and rather than stop it- they’re pressing another beer can or another bag of fast food into Stiles’ greedy grasp.
(Although you know Jackson and Theo and some of the others have some side bets with each other “$50 says I can get Stilinski to finish this entire cheesecake)
***
Stiles let’s it completely take over. He’s got a pack of hot guys caring for his every need. His motivation to get a job is diminished (because anytime he thinks about getting off the couch, a hand is there stuffing another handful of fries into his mouth) and eventually he’s content to sit on the couch, taking up the room if 3 people, spending his days eating himself into a beached state.
Doesn’t care what the scale says- sure it’s getting hard to do things and reaching over his belly for more food is becoming an issue- but he always has someone there to help him.
***
Stiles breaks his childhood bed (and his gut was hanging off the side of it anyway) and the Sheriff sort of sighs and realizes that his whale of a son is outgrowing their house
Which is a perfect time for Derek to step in and use the family fortune to build a pack house- railings on the hallway because Stiles needs support waddling around with a belly bouncing off his knees, widened doorways and chairs and a shower because Stiles has gotten stuck more than once before.
(Both the pack fattening Stiles or Stiles who gets fat to the concern of the pack is sooo so good)

confessions of a junkorexic
may 30, 2023 | entry #7
has it been over two months since my last entry? yes. was this absence caused by an almost three month long binge cycle? also yes.
the only reason i haven’t slammed my head into a brick wall yet is because i’ve somehow managed to maintain my weight throughout the whole ordeal. don’t get me wrong i’m still severely overweight, but i managed to avoid gaining any substantial weight during my binge episode so i guess that’s a positive? in my last journal entry (3/15/22) i weighed in at 201.4 lbs and as of last wednesday (5/24/22) i am now a whopping 201 lbs even. granted, my weight definitely fluctuated between then and now but at least i didn’t do any severe damage.
on the flip side, the binge did set me back pretty far goal wise. i told myself that i wanted to lose 50lbs by summer, but tomorrow is the first day of june and i’ve only managed to lose 20lbs since JANUARY!! i have no one to blame but myself honestly. it’s my fault i don’t exercise as often as i should. it’s my fault that i don’t possess an ounce of self control around food. it’s my fault that i spend all day feeling sorry for myself instead of getting up and doing something to change my circumstances. i’d be easier on myself if i was naive to my faults, but since i am so painfully aware of my self sabotaging, i feel like i’d only be doing myself even more of a disservice by not holding myself accountable. so for the millionth time in a row, i’m back to treating myself like a toddler. no exceptions, no breaks, no “treat days”, nothing. i’ve gotta tighten the reigns now if i want to get anywhere near my gw by the end of the year.
it’s times like this where i wonder if this attempt will be the last attempt? if this is where i stop wishing for something and actually buckle down and work my ass off to achieve it? whenever you hear people tell their stories about how they accomplished a goal they always have some “eye opening moment” that made everything click for them and gave them the motivation to follow through. i hope my moment comes soon…i need it to come soon.

My Boys (Chapter 28)
Tumblr media
Series List
Y/n's pov
2 Days Later
"Just go have lunch already Steve! We'll be fine on our own. We're on our own when you're not working," I whine, trying to get Steve to finally take his break and go have his lunch. I know he'd been skipping a few of his lunches because we've only had one person in the store if he left. As cute as I thought it was because he was trying to look after Robin and me, I was starting to worry about his own health. Something he seemed to forget about when there was someone else he can look after. "I'll be fine not to eat now, I'll just eat something when I get home," Steve says, trying to come back behind the counter. I shake my head at him and place my hands on his chest to push him back. "No, that won't do at all. Either go have your lunch right now or I'm going steal some ice cream from the fridge and blame it on you," I tell him, pushing him further out of the store. Steve sighs at me and turns around, almost knocking me over in the process. "Fine, I'll go eat lunch. But I'll get the food, eat it and be right back here in like 30 minutes," He says before quickly walking out of the store. I smile in victory and move back behind the counter, Robin moving over next to me at the same time.
"What was that all about?" Robin asks me. I laugh a little and face her, leaning my hip against the counter. "I know he hasn't been going out for his lunch break. Either out of the store or in the back room. I was just making sure he finally ate something before going home. Our shifts are too long to be waiting that long. Especially Steve, considering how much I've seen him eat," I tell her. She smiles at me and says, "So you're keeping track of him now?" She smirks at me and looks over to the door. "Oh haha, I am not. Just noticed he wasn't eating." I whisper, also turning to the front of the store. "So, you ready to pick up your cousin tomorrow from camp?" Robin asks me. "Yes, so excited to have him back here. He can finally see Steve in the sailor's outfit," I smile, thinking of Dustin's reaction to how Steve looks in our uniform. I love the shorts on Steve. They were so high and I believe someone did it on purpose instead of an accident.
We spend the next few minutes talking about little things until a very unpleasant voice booms throughout the whole store. "L/n! Just the girl I wanted to see today," Jason yells, waving something in my and Robin's direction. I give him a weird look and move off of the counter, straightening to seem talker. "What do you want Carver?" I snap at him, wanting him to leave as soon as possible. He slams his hands with something in it on the counter and leans forward. "I have a surprise for you." He sickly smiles at the two of us. If we weren't at work I'd punch him right now. I look over to Robin and find her nervously looking down at the thing in Jason's hand. What the hell does he have to show me? "What is it?" I ask, noticing Steve walking back from the other side of the store. Jason's smile widens as he takes his hand off the photo laying on the bench. My eyes widen as I snatch the photo from Jason's reach. The photo was a picture of me clearly kissing Robin in the back of my car, Robin's back facing the camera. Something we haven't done since we were together. You could clearly make out me in the picture but Robin was a little blurred and I don't believe anyone else would think it was her. Plus her hair was a different colour from what it is now. I steal a glance at Robin to make sure she's ok but she looks absolutely terrified. Fuck, this could ruin Robin.
"What the hell is this Carver?" I ask, hoping that I could play it all off as not being me. "Oh come on, you know exactly what this is. It's you kissing a girl," Jason snaps at me. Fuck. "Why are you showing me this? What do you want Jason?" I ask, trying to stay as tough as I can while noticing Steve getting closer and closer to the store. He can not know about this. "Maybe you should go out with me. Say I'm your boyfriend and maybe this photo won't make it around the school and just disappear," He threatens, clearly proud of himself for the plan he came up with. "What about the other girl in the photo?" I ask, trying to work out if he knew it was Robin I was kissing. "I don't know who the fuck that is, no one seems to know. And I don't really care, so what do you say Y/n? Wanna jump on this train?" He smirks, putting his hand on mine. I pull it away and throw the photo in the trash where he can't get it. He probably has more but this means he can't show Steve when he walks in. "I don't care what you do to me in that hell whole. I am not going out with you Carver. Never in a million years you pig," I snap at him, turning away from him.
As I do that Steve finally walks into Scoops, noticing the tense energy right away. "Is everything ok in here?" He asks, looking right at me and Robin. Robin nods and walks into the back room. Jason stands up straight and gives Steve his best smile. "Well look who it is. Long time no see 'King Steve'," Jason says. Steve glares at him and asks me again, "Is everything ok?" We stare at each other for a second, Steve looking to see if I needed him to kick Jason out of here. I nod my head and say, "Everything's good hear, Jason was just leaving." I glare a Jason but he just smiles at the two of us. "Yeah, yeah, I was. See you at school Y/n. I'll make sure to send that photo out to everyone for you," Jason threatens as he walks out the door. God, I'm so fucked when I get back to school.
Steve walks over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure you're ok? You and Robin looked really scared and worried when I walked in," Steve asks again, grabbing my chin and turning my face to his. I try to give him a reassuring smile and say, "Yeah we are. He just came in to ask me out again. No big deal. Take the front for the both of us please." I get out of Steve's arms and run to the back where Robin is hiding. When I enter I find Robin crying with her head in her hands. I run over to her and pull her into my chest. "Hey sweetheart, don't cry. It's gonna be ok. We'll work it all out," I whisper, kissing the top of her head. "But what if it isn't? You are clearly seen kissing a girl in that picture Y/n." Robin whisper/yells, clearly not being able to handle the situation. "Hey, hey, hey," I whisper, pulling her up and holding her cheeks. I smile at her and say, "I'll be ok. I can deal with this shit for a year. If Jason wants to play this game I'll let him. I want to make sure you're ok though. I can change my mind if you're scared for yourself." Robin furiously shakes her head and says, "You can't tell it's me. No one will work that part out. I'm just worried about you." I smile at her and kiss her on the forehead. "I'll be ok Rob. How about tonight I take you home and we have a slumber party before I pick Dustin up tomorrow?" I ask her. She smiles at me, nodding her head and says, "Sounds good, how long till we close?" I look over to the clock and say, "2 hours." She laughs and walks to the bathroom. "I'll meet you and Steve out there in a second," Robin says, disappearing into the bathroom. I nod, even though she can't see me, and move back out the front to finish the rest of the shift with two of my favourite people.
Couple Hours Later
"What happened earlier with you and Jason earlier?" Steve asks me as he comes into the back room. I look up from the paperwork I was doing and say, "Nothing you need to worry about." I look back to the work, not focussing on it anymore, and Steve moves to sit down next to me. "I'm worried about you Y/n. i know Jason, I was him at one point, and you never liked him when I saw you all around each other. What was he talking about with the photo?" He moves his hand over mine, trying to get me to stop looking over at the work. "Look it's nothing you can do anything about. He was threatening me to show everyone the photo unless I dated him but I will not do that," I whisper, looking over at him. He looks concerned at me and asks, "What is the photo of?" I shake my head and say, "That's something for another time. I'm not ready to tell you just yet." 
Before Steve can say anything back we hear a rapid dinging of the bell out front. "Hey dingus, your children are here!" Robin yells back to us. Steve sighs and rolls his eyes before walking over to the window and opening it. "Again? Seriously?" Steve asks, knowing what the kids what him to do. He had made the mistake of letting the kids use the back to get into the movie theatre for free. Now every once in a while the kids come back and ask, or more like tell, Steve that they want to use the back room. He'd told them no more but they could get him in trouble if he doesn't.
The kids all look at him slightly annoyed and Mike rings the bell again. "God, just get them through that door already!" I yell at him, annoyed by the ringing of the bell. Steve rolls his eyes and motions for the kids to come into the back and follow him. They all run to the back door and Steve opens the back door to the secret area of the mall. "Come on, Come on," I hear Steve say to them. "I swear, if anybody hears about this..." I hear Steve yell at the kids as I assume they make down the hall to the movies. "We're dead!" I hear them all yell back. I stand up from my seat and look at Steve standing in his mum pose. I laugh at him causing him to look over at me questioningly. "What?" He asks, sighing and closing the door to the bad. "You look so much like a mum right now," I tell him as I continue to laugh at the image in my head. "Whatever," he whispers as he moves back to the front of the store, me laughing as I follow behind him.
While we serve people at the front the lights throughout the mall go out. Stiffen a little bit and grab onto Steve's arm, scared something is gonna come to get us. "That's weird," Steve whispers, grabbing onto my hand and moving us over to the light switch. "Everything's ok honey," Steve whispers to me as he tries to flick the light switch. He continues to flick the switch and looks over to Robin as she walks over to us. "That isn't gonna work dingus," She tells him, having had enough of his shit for a day. "Oh really?" Steve sarcastically asks her, starting to flick the switch a lot quicker than before. "God you're an idiot," I whisper, walking over to Robin and holding her arm instead. The lights start to come back on and Steve smiles sweetly at me. "Let there be light," Steve says, looking right at Robin, before moving back to get the ice cream for the kid.

Help an Enby Access Life Saving Surgery
I've been made aware that there are surgeons who have no BMI limit in other countries (mostly the US, a couple in Canada). I'm applying for a passport and making a go of this because im tired of sitting and waiting and trying but not making progress. Please share and/or donate if you can.
~~~~~~
Hello, my name is Nero (yes, like the Roman emperor), and I'm fundraising to access gender-affirming surgery.
I've been attempting to access gender-affirming care for 6 years, and although I'm now seeing a gender clinic (which has allowed me to start HRT), I'm facing a big barrier to accessing surgery; my weight. The way I've dealt with my gender dysphoria and the distress it creates is to eat - it brings me comfort. Sadly this means that my current BMI is too high for UK surgeons to say yes to operating on me. Most surgeons here have a BMI limit of 30, and some limit to 40. My BMI is 47. I am being supported to lose weight (dieting, exercising daily, pills, etc) and I have already lost over a stone (yay!). However losing weight is going much slower than I thought it would, and that has only served to increase my dysphoria, taken away my comfort in food, and increased my suicidal ideation. My family fully believes that I will end up taking my own life if I can't access this much-needed, life-saving surgery within the next 2 years. I'm not sure I can wait another whole year but I'm fighting hard.
With this fundraiser, I'm hoping to travel abroad to where there are surgeons who have no BMI limit and who can and will give me what I so desperately need. My dysphoria is robbing me of a life I should be having at 24 years old. I should have a job. I should have friends. I should be out socialising and having fun. Instead, I sit at home and spend all my time trying my best not to let my dysphoria convince me that it's all hopeless.
If you could spare £1, £5, or even just 10p, that would make a world of difference to me and my family.

Are you Marxist?
Right now I’m a teacher- and I know that isn’t the answer that you wanted but listen-
Ideologically I don’t care what we call it, I will support my kids getting food every day and my classroom being funded so the kids can have the materials they need.
I will support any programs that complete fund public transportation, and which will actually put roofs over the heads of the people I pass on the street every day. I support the radical dismantling of government programs like the military and the police and the redistribution of those funds. I support the private dismantling of monopolies and large corporations hoarding wealth and food and homes.
I support not having to work myself to the bone every single week- coming home so dead tired that I fall asleep in my work clothes at 7:30 because I feel my body breaking from the five day/ eight hour work week. I support the death of the landlord class and the model, by which, a public City of Boston employee who works 40 hours a week for the city can’t afford to actually LIVE in the city on my salary (I have four roomates)
I support the complete reconstruction of the Forster care system, which in many cases takes children from loving parents for lack of funding, rather than just giving the parents access to food and clothes and a home to call their own and raise their children in. As wealth isn’t an indicator of morality and responsibility, and certainly not a reason to separate children from families who love them.
I support free and accessible educational for the brilliant black and brown children I see every day who have been barred from higher education due to the costs of privatized education- I support the fully funded public schools, community centers, libraries, and museums as safe spaces for all people of all ages to go, as knowledge should never be only accessible to a certain class.
I support gutting the private medical and pharmaceutical industry and instead building up public healthcare in which people will have access to medication which they desperately need without having to pay thousands of dollars. Where people can access mental health care, elder care and senior homes drug and alcohol abuse care (and yes that includes safe sites to dispose of sharps, and inject drugs without fear of dirty needles and ODing I know for whatever reason people can’t stomach that one) , rehabilitation for addiction, mental illness, and eating disorder without being in crippling debt for life. As a kid I had to ration my inhaler as they were close to $100 USD each. As an adult I want to make sure that no child - or person in general- has to do that with something that they NEED.
Everyone deserves to live in comfort and dignity, and no one man or company should have the power to sway politics or hoard property, food, or medication while the people are in need of care.
I have read a little bit about communist theory, and know all The Hits (hello communist manifesto), and yeah ideologically I suppose I agree with a lot of it on the surface level, but frankly I’ve read a LOT more about Socio Emotional Leaning, and teaching phonetics to ELL students, and textbooks on Ancient Civ as that is how I spend my whole day.
It would be arrogant and ignorant to call myself a Marxist, as I am know knowledgeable enough about the difference between Marxism, or Marxist Leninism, or Maoism, or all the nuances between the different communist and socialist political and ideological movements. And frankly, at this point in my life I don’t care about the label that you use- I care that food gets on my kids lunch trays and that they all have a warm bed to go home to and a place to learn and all their health needs met. Weather that is achieved by voting or by revolution, I don’t care. Weather it’s the marxists that get it done or the Maoist’s, I don’t care. Fuck if the Democrats were advocating for all that I’d be first in line to the polls (though even now please still vote, both in national and local elections- not voting is used to silence you and is a tool of the oppressor).
I really honestly don’t know shit about anything, and it would be sooooo much easier to give you a sound bite and respond “FUCK YEAH MARXISM BASED!!!!” With gif of a hammer and sickle flag…. But that feels reductive and unrepresentative as I honestly and truly am not intelligent enough about the subject to talk about it at length. What I am knowledgeable enough about is working full time in public education in a low income school. And working for a non profit organization in rural communities. And volunteering to get my boots dirty doing non profit work during what little free time I have. I know a lot about the world that I WANT to make better and if Marxism can get it’s shit together all the better- but a revolution WONT just be peacefully standing around discussing ideology. It starts in your classrooms and food banks and your streets. So I suggest that any real Marxist get themselves a pair of practical shoes.

We love my boss talking to me about loyalty and how loyal he’s been to me when not giving me a raise for 6 months when I’ve been busting my ass for him and bringing in tons of money and instead giving it to the guy who’s always on his phone and spends 30 mins in the bathroom 13 times a day bc his dad is an insurance lawyer and he wants him on his food side. But yes. Guilt the girl whose been one of your best employees and salespeople bringing you in thousands of dollars about you being “loyal” to her just because she gave you a weeks notice about getting a second job bc everything literally just happened in the past 72 hrs and she was texting her manager real time as she found out information. Yes. I’m the bad guy. I’m not loyal. I totally didnt give you almost two years of my life while you paid me literally $9 hr with NO COMMISION OR TIPS . And worked over 40hr weeks for you all October while going to school at 5 am and staying at your store until 10pm. Fuck you jerry.
Fuck you and your loyalty. Shove it up your pale tiny white ass that hangs out of your jeans that don’t fit. Loyalty should have been giving me commission a year ago so I wouldn’t have to get a second job. Fuck you.

@cassie-fanfics requested me for Kaz and Torra's Moment. Yay !!! My first star wars resistance writing request 😁 !!! Here it goes.
Worth Than Any Money
Tumblr media
Kaz & Torra
Based on Xiono Story series (my fanfic)
Torra just finished brushing her hair as looking through the mirror. She worn a sea blue dress. "Alright Honeylatte, ready to go ?" She turned around and seeing Kaz wearing a leaf green tuxedo with a black bow.
She wrapped around his neck "Yep, my father's in charge of Ayumi, her dinner is ready on the table and he make sure that he put her sleep with a bedtime story."
"Great 'cause I have a big plan for our date tonight." Kaz holded Torra's hand to take outside of the station.
Arrived at the planet which there was a busy and crowded city. "Looks like we're not the only one who have date night." She spoke to him. "Yeah, I didn't know it could this many. There, that's a restaurant that I booked for."
He pointed at the restaurant which it would closed due of customer fullness. The young couple rushed to get in, even Torra had to lift her dress skirt so she could run but it was too late as the door was closed.
"No, no, no, no, no... *grunted* I already payed for the book." He expressed his disappointment.
Torra put her hand on his shoulder "It's okay, my love. We could eat somewhere else."
Kaz sighed and nodded at his wife.
______
After they looked around the city, they finally found the cafe was less customers to come. "What can I do for you, sir ?" The waiter asked as ready to write the orders.
"Can we have two space waffles with two chocolate milkshakes please ?" Kaz responded.
"Wonderful choices, sir. Your orders will be coming up." The waiter left the couple alone.
He sighed "I'm sorry it didn't go as I planned."
She reassured "Don't worry about it. At least we found a place to eat and we could see the stars better from here."
"Yeah, it's true."
30 minutes later, the waiter brought all the orders that they ordered "Here are your food and drink. It will be 45 credits."
Kaz was shocked "Wait, like right now ?"
The waiter nodded "Yes sir. In this cafe, all the customers have to pay their orders after all the orders come, instead right before leave this place."
Kaz took his wallet to pay their orders but his credits weren't enough "Oh no, I only have 35 credits. I'm really sorry, ma'am but... " But Torra stopped him as payed the rest "Here ma'am. It should be enough and keep that change as your tip."
The waiter took their credits "Thank you for your kindness and have a nice night."
After that, Torra noticed Kaz's dissapointment "Kaz, is everything okay ?" He sighed "Torra, you didn't have to do that everytime I'm on this situation. I'm not worth all the money you keep spending on me." He then looked down.
Torra holded his hands as saying "Please. You're worth everything and more. I don't care if we're gonna have a date a fancy restaurant or a simple cafe, all I need is spending time with you."
Kaz took breath and smiled "How can I have a lucky, understanding, and kind woman in my life ?"
Torra was touched "Aww, Kaz. I'm lucky one to have you too." Then the couple had a kiss.
"Come on, let's finish this then maybe you can take me to walk around this city ?"
"That sounds great." Kaz replied.
Kaz didn't have much worry about it after they had this talk, he knew that he won't have to plan big or fancy to make his wife happy, all she wanted is his big and fancy heart to fill her life.
The end
Hope you like this one 😊

(belated!) FEMSLASH FEBRUARY 2023 #9: In which Cameron and Donna enjoy a Sunday afternoon
[CN: food] . .
After three months of restoring motorcycles, Cameron figured out that if she wanted to make real progress, the best time to head out to the garage was when Donna wasn’t home. If she wanted to so much as make it out the door, the best time was when Donna either wasn’t home, or wasn’t in the living room or kitchen, where she’d see Cameron was in her coveralls and boots. (Cameron had begun to consider that maybe she should leave her coveralls in the garage, and change in there, instead.) Donna’s attention wasn’t unwelcome, but Cameron, naturally, also really wanted to spend time with the bike she was working on.
On a Sunday in early spring, Donna made plans to go out for the afternoon with Risa, who came to pick her up at 12:30. Risa came in for a little while, Cameron poured her a small cup of homemade sweet tea, and they talked while Donna decided on which purse to bring with her, and checked that she had her wallet, keys, mini phone book, quarters, compact, tissues, and lipstick. They left just before 1pm, and Cameron went so far as to check and make sure that their car was gone before changing and rushing out to the garage.
With her radio set to a classic rock station quietly playing songs that made her think of her dad, and Licorice snoozing in the mini-hammock Cameron had attached to one of the garage windows, the afternoon went quickly. After three and a half hours of happily taking apart her newest work in progress, Cameron decided to quit for the day. She stood up and stretched her arms out in front of her, fingers laced together, wrists facing outward. Suddenly alert, Licorice hopped down from her perch and onto the desk, and from there onto the floor. As she walked toward Cameron, she too stretched out her front legs, and then her hind legs, shaking one foot and then the other.
“Big stretch,” Cameron grinned. She bent down, both to scritch Licorice behind her ears, and stretch her own hamstrings. Standing back up, she said, “You ready to go back inside? I’m hungry, and I need something to drink.” She shut off the radio, and then went back through the garage door and into the house, unzipping her coveralls and shrugging off the arms as she went, and Licorice trotted along after her.
In the kitchen, Cameron grabbed carefully labeled containers of almonds and edamame, grateful for Donna’s insistence on having healthy, high-protein snacks in the house. Realizing that she was uncomfortably warm, she paused, and went to the sink, and splashed some cool water on her face, and then she ran her wet hands through her hair, and pushed it back out of her face. Then, she filled a glass with water as the cat walked up to her. She was about to drink when Licorice began to meow at her.
Firmly, Cameron said, “It’s not dinnertime yet. But, I guess you’re overdue for a treat.” The cat followed her, pointedly getting underfoot, as Cameron got the canister of treats from the cabinet, poured some into her hand, and then crouched down to drop them into Licorice’s bowl. Licorice turned all of her attention to it.
Cameron grabbed her glass of water off the counter. She sipped at first, and then, realizing how thirsty she was, went into a full-on chug. She barely heard the front door unlock and open.
Donna and Risa were laughing as they entered the kitchen. “Yes, he told me that one too, the one about the bear!” Risa cackled.
“An instant classic when he debuted it at Mutiny!” Donna agreed. “Hey, Cam. Do you remember —“ She finally looked at Cameron, and then stopped short.
Cameron was standing by the sink still, in her white undershirt that came out of a three-pack, the sleeves of her coveralls still hanging at her sides. Some water had spilled from the corner of her mouth and run down her neck. Finishing her glass of water, Cameron hastily put it down, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Donna and Risa looked at her, Risa’s mouth agape, prompting Cameron to ask, “What?”
Her knees feeling slightly weak, Donna said, “Uh, nothing. Hi. Hi!”
Feeling self-conscious, Cameron turned back toward the sink, and rinsed the glass out.
Risa leaned in toward Donna, and quietly said, “You know, I’ve always though that she’s a little skinny for me, but now? I get it. You’re a lucky woman.”
“I know,” Donna nodded.
Over her shoulder, Cameron said, “Risa, if you make me blush, I will be forced to eject you from the premises.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Risa chuckled. “I’ll see myself out, so that the two of you can enjoy the rest of your Sunday”
“Oh, okay, thanks for hanging out!” Donna called after her.
Risa went out the front door with a wave, and Cameron waved back from the sink.
“So,” Donna said seductively, resting her elbows on the island. “Were you out in the garage?”
Leaning back against the sink, Cameron said, “Yes, I was.”
Licorice meowed, weaving around Donna’s ankles, as if to say that she had been in the garage, too, before scampering off to the living room, where she sprang up onto the couch.
Trying and failing to sound relaxed, Donna said, “Gettin’ ready to get back out there, then?”
Cameron shrugged. “Nah, I was actually just thinking that I should go upstairs and get out of these slightly sweaty clothes….”
Standing up straight, Donna quickly asked, “Do you want me to come with you and maybe help you with that?”
Cameron smiled broadly. “Yeah, no, that would be nice, if you helped.”
They looked at each other for a moment before they both took off toward the bedroom, the two of them nearly colliding, the two of them laughing and shouting until they reached their destination, where they stayed for the rest of the afternoon.

dear god
Today’s fic is “dear god”, a Spider-Man fic by krystalpomme. Here’s a story in which our independent teen lead acts like a whiny ten-year-old.
The fic opens after the snap. Peter has returned to the world after five years, and Tony survived in this world, but he’s moved on and pays more attention to his daughter now. Peter misses May, whose death still feels recent, and Tony doesn’t say good night to him. It’s all very tragic.
Now, we’re getting to the good stuff.
He looked down at his cold soggy eggs that he had made himself this morning. Tony had dropped Morgan off at preschool earlier so everyone had breakfast before him. As a real family.
Oh no! How dare they have breakfast together before their young daughter goes to school. Peter would have to—gasp—get up earlier if he wanted to eat with them. Truly, an unreasonable expectation for a teenager—wake up in time for family breakfast, or grab food on your own. I’m also curious why the eggs are cold, if he just cooked them.
Also, Happy is going to drive Peter to school today, because Pepper and Tony are apparently busy. Peter feels abandoned by this, and apologizes for making Happy drive to the house to get him.
Telling him to stop saying ‘sorry’ never made his guilt subside. In fact, it had made it worse now knowing that he had probably been bothering Happy with tasks that his caretaker was supposed to carry out. He had stopped talking.
So, I’m all for parents doing parenting tasks themselves when possible, rather than delegating them out. But this is a commute, with a guy who is both close to the family and being paid to do this as part of his job. It’s not some deep emotional thing—it’s “a long drive” to school, that has to be done everyday. If that’s bad, I can’t imagine what they think of kids who take a bus or walk to school.
Next up, Peter is very excited to spend time with Tony after school. My prediction is that Tony will no-show, for some more angst, especially after he turns down a chance to spend time with Ned.
He was constantly checking the clock to see if it was any closer to 2:30.
Wait, wait. The minimum high school day in New York is 5.5 hours (source), and the average is about 6.5 hours (source). If the school ends at 2:30, it must start by 9:00 at the latest, and 8:00 is more likely. Given the commute is long, and Morgan was gone by the time Peter was sitting down to breakfast, which must have been around 7:00, I have to ask: how early does this preschool start?
After this, we cut to the end of the school day. Peter forgot his phone, presumably so he doesn’t get the text saying that Tony won’t make it. So, while he’s waiting, Flash shows up to bully Peter, and he is harsh, targeting the family deaths, and call him a liar about the internship and insult his clothes.
Peter looked down in shame, his clothes had worn thin and accumulated holes over the time they had spent withering away for the past 5 years. Tony hadn’t noticed so he hadn’t bothered to upgrade his wardrobe.
Ah, yes, because clothes definitely just wither away within five years if they’re not being worn. Dude, this is a sign that your closet is infested with moths. And you have a lot of clothes made from wool or silk. A shopping spree isn’t going to fix that.
My prediction came true! Tony does not arrive. Instead, everyone leaves, Peter is standing outside sadly in the rain, and all of the teachers and staff have left by the time he thinks to go inside to find a phone. I guess it’s been hours and all the after-school activities are over—the sun is setting, which means it’s at least 4:30. I do actually feel bad for him here and I don’t blame him for a little private crying, though I think he should have called earlier or waited inside, so at least someone could lend him a phone before kicking him out when the building closed.
Fortunately, someone is paying attention to this kid’s schedule, since he apparently has no backup plan to make his own way home or find a phone to borrow. Happy shows up, and Peter is crushed to see that Tony isn’t with him, which in turn upsets Happy.
“I would have never told you that Tony was picking you up if I had known that—”
That prompts a good question. What exactly did Happy say earlier? “Good news, he said he would have some free time in the afternoon since Morgan has a playdate with a school friend.” It was never clear who was supposed to pick him up, unfortunately, but it was clear they were supposed to spend time together. Ouch.
After that, Peter is sad and gets driven home, falls asleep, and wakes up in the morning to find that Tony cooked breakfast but not for him. Nothing funny in here, Tony is being a bad father and ignoring the older kid too much, even given the toddler in the room. At this point, I’m really wondering how their relationship actually got to the point of being a father-son relationship, if this is how Tony acts all the time. Maybe he was better before the Blip and five years gone? As depicted, it seems like Peter would have worked with Tony but developed the close personal relationship with Happy.
Tony wasn’t going to help him, he bet that Tony wouldn’t even show up. Peter got up and grabbed the flyer, opting to just start the project without the older man. He would finish his part while Ned did his and they would win all on their own.
Oh! I didn’t mention the science fair. Peter’s been wanting help with it, for some reason. Honestly, I would expect the kids to do most of the work on their own. I doubt most of the parents are doing a lot of work on the kids’ projects. Is that not cheating, after a certain point? Just go to Ned’s apartment, or have him come over, and work on it together, seriously.
The we have some more drama, which is contrived but not really past the level I’d expect in this sort of fic. Peter is startled and knocks over an object, which turns out to be a birthday gift for Morgan, and Tony is mad. He’s very dismissive of the science fair and fails to realize the teenager cut his arm. Tony is being an asshole, yeah. But…
Why did this happen to him? All he wanted was someone to hold him and love him like they would their own child. He wanted to be a priority for once in his miserable life, he wanted to feel wanted. His stupid prayer was a joke.
Peter definitely needs to be seeing a therapist. This is so incredibly dramatic. This whole scene is so over the top.
Tony’s heart broke in that moment, hearing the boy he saved the world for let out such a sound of agony.
Perspective switch time! Tony feels awful. This feels overblown, but I guess he should feel awful so it’s not so bad, and Happy yells at him.
He was the cause of a 16 year old’s endless pain.
Yeah, this is what I mean. e n d l e s s p a i n
What was he even going to say to Peter? There was no way this was going to fixed so easily.
I don’t know about that. We’re almost to the end of the fic, and I’m expecting some resolution.
And they finally talk! And after twelve sentences of dialogue, everything is good and everyone is happy and they’re all a good family now. Tony sings his 16-year-old son to sleep. The end.

Have An Exceptional Vacation With Vietnam Tours

30-60 old randomness
"So entertainment has become dumbed down. There‚a sense 2 include every1. TEXT 4 super hero shows have become about humor or spidey learning patience in place of multiverse like themes. Actors who look manly like Hugh Jackman or womanly like Margot Robbie are hard 2 come by.-",
"- American culture has become about embracing flaws, do things with minimal effort, turn a blind eye to structure. If you have acne, use an acne needle to get the puss out, rather than letting it sit there forever. Wash your face if your sweaty. Actually wash your a*s-",
"- in terms of minimal effort, men stopped shaving. No 1 pushes their chairs in. Aside from Japanese style desserts, I‚m not noticing precision or artistry in cuisine. It‚boils down to fast food places making quick manufactured hamburgers in place of taking time like Five Guys.-",
"- for some reason, television showing people eating, tends to result in people making accentuated chewing sounds and eating with their mouth open. A little bit of class and structure became too much for America to the point where people roll out of bed and go to school or work.-",
"- conversely, I watched an Asian show where people are also eating, but they eat with grace instead of animals. If tv wants to indicate someone is eating, why do you need to show them having an orgasm from chewing food in their mouth?-",
"- & this thing about embracing every1 & being inclusive, yes all the power 2 these advocates. But if ur drop dead gorgeous from every checklist, yes U should be on television. Ur celebrating people who are eye catching. Sure it‚great that everyone gets a chance in movies. -",
"- but who are you trying to imitate or looking forward to seeing? And it doesn‚t even have to be all about looks. There‚also those who have talent in other areas. These people are society‚finest- who people aspire to be like. Rather than lowering the bar for inclusivity, -",
"- encourage people to be more.",
"- but culture & societal structures are about cycles. U get a period where every1 is proper. Then people get tired & wonder why. Then they go 2 the other extreme and become total animals. Then some1 makes it about it high quality class & ur back at the beginning of the cycle.-",
"- the lesson is a balance in values and culture. Not to be rigid and not go to extremes.-",
"When it comes to getting a job, it seems nowadays people at work locations expect you to know everything for the job without training. You spend x amount on a college education, find that you still don‚t know everything a job requires, & face this dilemma about acquiring skills-",
"- it‚almost as if trade schools & boot camp programs are the only things that teach necessary skills. It used to be if u had 2 degrees, u had the discipline 2 pick up on new skills required 4 a particular job. But now they have a huge list of skills ur expected 2 know b4  hand-",
"- it‚like every1 wants 2 cut corners w/ training or some extra effort while promoting time wasters like a team at work getting coffee together. 2 keep a business running, people want 2 buy the wheels in terms of cookie cutter employees rather than molding a wheel 4 urself.",
"Regarding the mental health system, when someone is given an antipsychotic or an antidepressant or something in the theme of tranquilizers, are authority figures trying to get them to be members of society or removing them from being potential headaches to the rest of society?-",
- A headache to society can be anything. Maybe you‚re someone that has a short temper maybe ur someone that gets in the way of someone else‚plan maybe ur someone that someone else is trying to remove from the equation. Take a look at this clip:   https://t.co/Ce9VudRF4c
"- you may need to watch the clip in the previous tweet a couple of times as it‚part of a show without a lot of context, in terms of the underlying story of the episode for the Netflix show, The Lincoln Lawyer.-",
"- The point is: the person on trial (whatever be his flaws), is not competent 2 make decisions 2 win his trial or save his life.-",
"- So then, not getting into how jail doesn‚t rehabilitate problems in society, how are psychiatric drugs a good thing, if u want some1 to be a productive member of society? If for a decade or more of a mind control phenomena, a person is subjected to harsh drugs and ECT,-",
"- is it about taking away a persons normal competency, so a crime, under every1‚noses, can take place, in broad daylight? Are you trying to make a person forget the underlying criminal nature of doing something illegal & against some1‚will? Are u forcing something on some1?-",
"- if ur still pestering them, after violating them, sedating them, 2 get a job, 2 parade around as a super star around those part of a conspiracy against them, aren‚t U further robbing them of their dignity or doing the equivalent of breaking their legs & asking them to walk?",
So this is what it sounds like and looks like when a dog eats:   https://t.co/rg3cQSMeRW
This is what it sounds like when actors for American tv/movies eat something during the program. Note the slurping of the coffee at the very beginning &after 30 seconds/55 secs/1 min 5 secs in particular with the croissant eater:   https://t.co/XAibuB1GVl
"- it sounds like the dog eating from the first clip of today (7/9/23). You tell kids not to slurp, chew with your mouth closed, enjoy food without chewing obnoxiously(it‚very much possible).-",
- here‚a normal guy eating. You don‚t hear anything. You know he‚eating because you see him do it:  https://t.co/HPkS1WAKFi
"- American television should showcase the best of the best, be it people, mannerisms, trends, or characteristics. You shouldn‚t encourage people to just ‚let go‚ and take it easy with everything, from appearance to chewing your food.-",
"- that being said, there‚a number of things that a person notes. Most of the people in movies have blue eyes, Americans like to show off their ability to chew and enjoy food, 50% of the people in a show or movie are gay,-",
"- & converse to all: at a time w/ affirmative action being revoked, most of the people U see walking around malls are in ridge hill or elsewhere are minorities. I guess white people no longer have money‚-",
"- But just as there‚a majority there, on television, most of the people are blue eyed. But things a person notes‚-",
- on a side note and completely unrelated @shakira is by far one of the most gorgeous women out there. She should get into acting. Even after the years following ‚whenever/wherever‚ just extraordinary‚-   https://t.co/IjHSrAycZO
"- but in terms of points,When I was in kindergarten, I was around lots of mixed race kids. Kids flaunt being 1/4 Italian, 1:4 Irish & maybe something like 50% Polish. While my Indian parents told me otherwise, I realized the many options in terms of a nationality 4 girlfriends-",
"- but nowadays kids are being exposed at an age like kindergarten or from the Disney channel, options such as being a boy, a girl, non binary, heterosexual, homosexual‚.how could youth get so complicated‚w/ basic structures being removed, it‚like reality itself is unfolding-",
"- if children are exposed to such ideas, doesn‚t it risk confusing them? I am a heterosexual man. But I enjoy a day at the spa, clearing facial blemishes with a facial, a massage, maybe even a pedicure to kill time. I believe one should look their best in appearance.-",
"- some1else, like a male child liking playing w/ dolls or growing their hair long, might falsely get the impression they‚re a girl inside. & now people & culture encourage it. Sometimes we need 2 believe something is what it is, or not possible. Why? It structures our thinking.-",
"- and children are impressionable. How early should they be exposed to certain ideas? You end up with a kid with wushu washy thinking. A typical boy could contemplate being a girl, and his thinking could spiral from there down a path of doubt and questioning of his gender-",
"- now as per those who identify as gay or transgender, how many people knew that baby boys and baby girls start out as females when developing in their mothers womb? Those with the XY chromosome for being a male, have their genitalia invert into the male body parts-",
"- now that could explain Y some gay men are attracted 2 other males. Maybe the transformation inThe womb was incomplete. Transgender or whatever be the label 4 individuals w/male & female body parts really gets me stumped. But it probably also has 2 so w/development in the womb.-",
"- now that explains transgenders and homosexuality from a biological perspective. But now with culture embracing these notions, with half the people in the TEXT being these labels, there‚another thought that comes to mind.-",
"- What if some1 who is a gay female is actually looking for someone with female qualities and not necessarily female body parts? If culture hardened on the notion of heterosexuality, maybe the alleged gay female might like a male who is in touch with their female inside.-",
"- gay males might actually like Tom boys, with women, and not necessarily be attracted to male body parts. I mean typical biology between males and females have a lock and key fit, in terms of body parts, and at the end of the day, pleasure comes from friction involved.-",
"- I feel some of this is like nature vs nurture, or culture vs. biology. Are gay people programmed genetically 2 walk & talk in a particular way? Isn‚t that culture? If U sow doubts or even give potential options 2 gender & sexuality in children in kindergarten-",
"- or thru Disney Channel, isn‚t that the nurture part of nature vs. nurture. U risk confusing kids. W/ women wanting 2 be men, thruout history 4 a myriad of reasons, haven‚t there always been women wishing 2 be men? Don‚t mothers hope for male children for better opportunities?-",
"- does that necessarily mean women should physically alter themselves to be men?-",
"- things today seem outrageous or even comical. I went for my COVID shot and the military man doing the paperwork asked me, a man, if I‚ve ever been pregnant. -",
"- On another note, it just seems things were supposed to be binary. You defeat the protections of a male/female bathroom with basic things like gender on peoples choices.-",
"- What about the military? How do U create focus & avoid hanky panky if gender in training & squads are not binary?What aboutParents sendingKids 2 all boys or all girls highSchools during raging hormone teenage years? Whats the point if their male children go after other males?-",
- This is a Disney channel movie about the adventures of a gay young male child:-   https://t.co/8N4DHMuZXJ

"So was watching CNN. Apparently more than mass shooting reported almost everyday. Experts are trying to figure out whether it‚due to mental health or the heat from the sun‚-",
"- what gets me is, not counting the shooting themselves, if ur looking at factors like heat causing shootings, it‚like people are dogs are cats‚I mean so what if it‚hot? It makes you short tempered, ready to snap at someone with a gun?-",
"- I don‚t know if it‚just me, or if people of the various backgrounds in America are a different species‚if heat were the factor, can‚t you consciously ‚suck it up‚ so to speak and not go off the edge?-",
"- This isn‚t an attack at the idea or the person with the idea‚it just seems like rather than ‚owning up to an action‚, people are bothered by the most random things. A dog howls if it‚left alone or hungry. -",
"- likewise; it‚like saying a human being shoots people if it‚hot? I just don‚t get the mental health argument.-",
"- I think the problem is not the laws surrounding guns or the mental health of the gun holder. It‚the gun themselves. I hear certain cigars are hard to get. On a related note, cars have advanced tremendously in design over the last century. Old cars, cigars are hard to get.-",
"- so what am I trying to say? Like old cars being phased out, current guns should be phased out and obsolete. 3D printers making guns should have a program that prevents the construction of such. You shouldn‚t cut costs by not thinking about safety.-",
"- so I said the guns themselves are the problem. Police officers have tasers. And we may live in a day and age of wireless mind reading or mind control. So is it too star trekky, or too much to ask, the blends guns with tasers like the infamous stun guns of sci fi series?-",
"- you need to ask, what is the purpose of a gun? What are you trying to do if you‚re a police officer or even a hunter. You basically want to disable a threat.Stunning someone or zapping the energy or tranquillizing muscles could fulfill the purpose of disabling a threat.-",
"- bullet guns should be phased out. This way, even if a gun were used by the wrong person for the wrong reason, you reduce the chance of death.",
"- instead of cutting costs, register the gun and access to the gun with a fingerprint reading trigger. More people may buy guns for protection. With the increased sales, the cost of electronic fingerprint reading, stun gun features might be offset.",
"On another note, the abortion topic. Now nationally not legal, but a state decision. I don‚t think this is a yes or no simple answer. It‚just like creationist theories and science not necessarily being one or the other.-",
"- it‚said God created the world in 7 days. Creationists, & the religious believe that. Science says the earth is billions of yrs old. As said, science & religion don‚t have to be 1 or the other. 7 days for a god or The God, could be billions or millions of years for a human.-",
"- It‚about how you look at things. You cannot be rigid in your thinking. We know the gravity is more on Jupiter because it is a planet bigger than the Earth. So, why can‚t time be measured differently for God and human beings?-",
"- and I said God and human beings in my last tweet. I would‚ve preferred to say God and man. Or maybe even mankind. It‚understood man in that ‚context‚ (context implies you need to stretch your mind) is about both males and females.-",
"- People in America have the time to complain about terms like man vs. human. When I was learning Spanish, to refer to a group of females, you‚d say ‚EllAs‚. For a group of males, you‚d say ‚EllOs‚. If the group is a mix of males and females, U default to the masculine: ‚EllOs.‚-",
"-Their just grammatical rules that only people in American make a fuss about-",
"- but I went off topic. So it doesn‚t have 2 be religion or science, but a blend, a balance, a partnership b/w the 2. It‚said: Adam, from the Adam & Eve story, gained life, when God breathed in2 Adam. So what‚the clue or what can B extracted 2 help science or abortion talks?-",
"- maybe a woman should be allowed to abort a pregnancy up until the time the baby gets it‚first whiff of oxygen, which may coincide with when the fetus starts exhibiting brain waves.-",
"- If I‚m wrong about the oxygen, then the other thing that can be taken from the Adam/Eve story is: when Adam became conscious from God‚breath of life, he exhibited brain waves. So, what I think I remember hearing: as it taking six weeks for brain waves to exhibit in a fetus,-",
"- the first 6 weeks should be the deadline for terminating a pregnancy. Women also should take caution to not sleep with their partner during that ideal pregnancy period, even they‚re more compelled during that time.",
"On another note, countries like Dubai apparently don‚t charge taxes on a persons salary. If you make $100,000, you keep that. In America, if you make $100,000, you may only keep $60,000. Then there‚property tax, sales tax, and of course: the price and rising prices of things-",
"- I wanted to get a scar cream for a blemish on my skin. One tube costs $30. I wanted a replacement top for my electric shaver. Another $30. And that‚something like a cap or top for the shaver, not the part with the motor or that you charge.-",
"- I wanted to get an iPad stand with an extendable architect arm so that I can watch my streaming apps while I‚m relaxing in my bath tub. That‚another $40. Architect arms may sound like an expensive name, but it‚just what the extendable arm is called.-",
"- A plastic dining table cover? That‚another $25. For that iPad stand I mentioned? If you put an iPad Pro, weighing 1.5 lb on the stand, the stand tips over. That‚after spending $40 on the stand. So then you get an idea to put 2 lb weight plates on the base of the stand.-",
"- a pair of 2 lb weight plates? That costs another $30 on Amazon. A swifter mop? Costs another $30. I‚m probably approaching $2-300 already on an average $2000 biweekly salary. Go to Five Guys with a family of four? That‚another $100.-",
"- I have a MacBook Pro. It‚the last one in a long line of MacBooks to have the Bootcamp option to dual boot with Windows. I bought it like most people when they get their first new job. It looks like nice and I never had a blue screen error or Windows crashing on my MacBook.-",
"- it‚like you need MacBook hardware to run Windows software without problems. Maybe another area of balance/partnerships. But the accessories for Apple products are all overpriced. A 6 ft thunderbolt cable? $129. An Anker wireless charger for iPhone, iWatch, AirPods? $140.-",
"- AirPods? $249. IWatch? $799 thunderbolt usb hub? $249.  Want 2 run windows software? Then U need Parallels Desktop at $100 annually or VMware Fusion 4 another $100. Have a wireless keyboard/mouse already 4 a windows PC? Need 2 buy them again so that‚specifically for MacBook.-",
"- everything in the richest county in the world is an expense. Maybe it‚just the richest government in the world, in terms of America.",
"Want 2 no what‚retarded? All forms of American medicine, & the products from the pharmaceutical industry. Why do I say it‚‚retarded?‚ Billions of dollar are spent on pills that travel thru ur blood stream. It‚going everywhere blood goes, even past/thru areas it shouldn‚t.-",
"- this is why, for those so focused on superficial label of mental health, an antipsychotic to cure hallucinations cause problems to your liver and kidneys. It‚not just reaching the head, but all the places before in your body before the head.-",
"- pharmaceutical industry? U shouldn‚t be spending money onThese primitivePills. Even 1000s of yrs old Indian Ayurvedic Medicine & Yoga are more advanced. They treat ur spirit & mind so that ur body heals. Kind of like when Christ says ur sins areForgiven, go in peace, urHealed.-",
"- so what should the pharmaceutical industry spend money on in the 21st century? In nanotechnology. Imagine taking an electronically programmed pill that only acts on the part of the body it‚supposed to and nowhere else.-",
"- If getting the circuitry small enough is the problem with pushing nanotechnology forward, then blend it with cloud computing. Small pills getting instructions through wireless signals from the cloud is the solution.-",

"- To get someone to search more, complain more, buy more, could something be dulling your brain to focus on cr*p like a pothead who‚high on excited about poop in a toilet?-",
"- Could they even try 2 sedate U more & more w/antipsychotics, antidepressants, medical marijuana to get U 2 comply w/a stupid program exploiting ur intellect & what U radiate? Could they be knowingly/unknowingly drugging U to be happy w/ stupid decisions & choices?-",

30s and Depressed
I’m turning thirty-four this year, and this is not where I thought I would be. Nowhere. We’ve all heard that before, right? I bet all of us have thought about it before, once or twice, or all the time like me. And probably followed by a ‘I don’t know what to do with my life.’ Well, welcome to the twenty-first century human race.
I was watching a historical fiction tv show last night and, for a moment, I was grateful for my life. I didn’t have to live without electricity, running water and modern conveniences like an air conditioner, food delivery, online shopping and the Internet. And as a woman, I can study and vote (not that I do the latter). So, I felt better at that time.
But today, I thought ‘Isn’t that a pretty low bar for myself?’ I haven’t had a real job since mid-2019. I tell everyone that I’m “freelancing.” That’s the new code for the unemployed, like “entrepreneur” was in the early 2000s. I guess I should be grateful that I can afford (loosely applied) to be like this thanks to my middle-class family money. But that’s not going to last forever.
I wished all the time that I had one instant passion - that I knew what I wanted to be in life since I was a kid and stuck (ehem committed) to it. You know, the plot to all those touted success stories we’ve all been inundated with in today’s popular culture. The myth of being born to do something. I’m still waiting for it.
Most days I push myself to at least do something. I tell myself ‘Okay, so you want to do something with your life. Then, start!’ I’ve enrolled in numerous online courses because I want to change careers. One I thought will get me a more attractive, competent and relevant skill set in this digital age. Oh and a higher salary. Who cares if I’m not naturally good at or interested in math and computers? Just push, like giving birth everyday.
So, if I should be grateful for this “timeout” and have been encouraging myself with platitudes like ‘At least you’re trying. Some people are happy just being lazy and staying where they are’, then why am I still depressed?
Maybe it’s because I feel like I haven’t really done shit. I haven’t finished my online studies according to my planned timeline and I have not become competent in the new field that I want to be in. Just dabbled in it really, not even worthy enough to be called a “noobie” or “jack of all trades, master of none.”
I spend my days in my room in front of my screens watching Netflix, Disney+ or Prime (yes, I’m paying for more than one streaming service monthly) instead of feeling pumped and “going after my passion.” I just don’t have the energy and I don’t know why.
I don’t want to blame it on my Bipolar II disorder because it feels like an excuse. In my head, there’s this nagging, critical voice (think Tiger Mom) always ordering my inner child what to do. Then, the child cries and wants to die. So that’s pretty much my internal emotional dynamic.
I have taken so many wrong turns in my life that, if I was given the chance to time travel to rectify the course of my life, I wouldn’t know at which point exactly where to unfuck my life. Should it be in college, in high school or do I even get to unchoose my parents?
I know it makes me sound like an ungrateful, narcissistic bitch. Hello, grow up! But, trust me, that’s the least of the problems in my mind. I worry about the future but I’m stuck regretting the past. So I’m left with escaping to the different worlds I conjured up in my head (with painstaking detail I might add because I can be quite neurotic).
Part of me loves the fact that I can post these things in some corner of the Internet and no one will know who I am because cyberspace has gotten so big. But that feeling - the freedom of anonymity - eventually gives way to loneliness. That I’m just emptying my soul in some black hole that will eventually consume me, and no one will be the wiser. These cries for help won’t do me any good.

The Dangers Of Going A Good Exclusive Protein Diet
Rather then telling you what to consume or tips on how to eat your meals, I will simply say that your total daily calories should be 10 to 12 times your bodyweight in surplus fat. So if we use our 200lb man again, we times his body weight by 11 and we are 2200 kilojoules. We can workout that164g of protein equals 656 calories 30% of our daily intake (1g protein = 4 calories) that leaves us with 1544 calories for your day. Need to know fill these calories with at least 20% fat (1g fat = 9 calories), and also the remaining 50% should be from carbohydrates (1g carbs = 4 calories). Some useful resources - get ripped routine tools. Yes, it is advisable to spend it slow putting together a sensible plan, brand new wii console turn it into some massive scientific study that prevents you from ever having the ball rolling. Procrastination manifests itself in many ways, and "analysis paralysis" is just one of the most forceful. I'm to be able to pick on Dr. Atkins. He has a connected with a keto diet. While Algarve Keto to to eat very few carbs for one long period of time, won't you desire to? You're more irritable and find terrible breath just details a few pounds in a timely fashion? No thanks.

For a little bit of advice, you shouldn't buy smoothies at smoothie stands (unless you discover them actually using fruit mainly because powders) or smoothie prepare. An emergency responder came out of the audience and arrived on stage to help. Kelly's episode didn't last very long; but her handlers demanded she be keto diet facts used to the hospital anyway because Kelly by no means suffered a seizure. Simple fact no trigger was known.

Are you need to go to to a hot sweaty room a treadmill of the classes? No, only if it is convenient for in order to do it and you love making the time for it. The floor at your home or a grass area in the park is just fine too. Stretch the muscle mass that you train often and the additional tight associated with your body at minimal of three times a month.
