something something nina’s cover of the times they are a’changin’ as the final song of ofmd s2 is the only song that could end this season because come mothers and fathers throughout the land don’t criticize what you can’t understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command: the old road is rapidly aging, please get out of the window if you can’t lend your hand, for the times they are a’changing something something

#i have this on repeat like man. okay then ofmd. o k a y then. #you better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone huh #and he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled for there’s a battle outside and it’s RAGING #we’ll soon shake your windows and we’ll rattle your walls #for the times they are a’changing #im a sucker for nina and for bob #so i’m FINE #maybe i’ll actually write beyond meme form and lyrics later but like okay yes thank you

alexa play “unable to stay unwilling to leave” by james horner

#oceangate #i get that it is a truly terrible thing these people are going through #and that joking about it is in bad taste #but this isn’t ‘going to a blink 182 concert while my stepdad is dying in a tube in the middle of the ocean’ bad #so i’m fine

for the love of god and/or all the things you even mildly enjoy in this world. If you’re driving and you’re about to miss your exit.

MISS THE EXIT. SHAVING OFF FIVE MINUTES OF TRAVEL TIME IS NOT WORTH WHAT COULD HAPPEN

#if you’re seeing me say this for the millionth time in the past ten minutes I’m not sorry #this is important #don’t take risks when driving a two ton metal machine #not even if the only risk is to yourself #roy talks #caps tw #tw caps #also no fatalities should have happened with the reason I made this post #and I was not involved in it nor was anyone I know #I just saw it happen #so I’m fine

My PNES has become such a strange constant in my life.

It’s like there’s a balloon poised behind my head, with a contraption around it holding a pin to pop it and startle me. And I know it’s there, but sometimes I forget. And it hasn’t gone off in a while so maybe it won’t again?

And other people can’t see it.

Now I’m in a situation where I have to tell them about it, and even people close to me are prone to forget over time, but I know it’s there. And I know it can still go off. I still carry my medication just in case. I still pay attention to signs and keep my coping mechanisms in the front of my mind. I still keep an eye out for private spaces I can go if I need to.

But I’m often around people who don’t know. Who can’t see it. Do I just disclose it? That will only scare and confuse them. There’s not really accommodations because they’re so infrequent.

But if I don’t disclose it and the balloon pops they need to know what’s happening because that’s even scarier. And could get expensive if heaven forbid they call someone. I’ve considered a medical bracelet or something but I think that would just draw more attention to something that is so infrequent.

Then there are days like today where something ticks my anxiety and I get nervous I’ll spiral until I can’t get it back under control.

I don’t, I don’t really have a better plan than just hope it doesn’t happen or that I can find somewhere to hide if it does.

#pnes #vent #honestly this helped me regulate a little #so I’m fine #but it’s such a weird Thing that hangs above my head #it both impacts and doesn’t. #when they first popped up and I was having 3 seizures a day at college I was denied assistance/accommodation #because it wasn’t a ‘documented disability had longer than 6 months’ #so my professors just kinda suggested I drop of our school in my last month of my last semester #lol there’s a reason I don’t rep my college #more than just those #thanks for reading it helps somehow #drink water and I love y’all

(Fruity) doodles of Josef Matula and Dr. Johannes Voss — two characters from an old, German show I dig a lot. They’re a detective & lawyer duo solving crime together

#ein fall für zwei #ltl art #didn’t want to post those drawings at first #but I found out ppl ship the main characters of the reboot with each other #so I’m fine #the guys I drew were in multiple suspiciously queer scenes #and Matula even said himself that his neightbor thinks they’re dating #I’m going insane over Dr. Voss #I don’t get why the Dr. Voss era is so hated by fans #it’s my favorite ((I’m biased)) #bi detective and gay laywer (who tries to get with women bc he hasn’t-found-out-yet)

Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie hears him. He keeps his eyes closed and just listens- to Steve grumbling to himself when his hair doesn’t sit quite right, who starts to hum and whisper some catchy song. Eddie turns his sleepy gaze onto Steve as he shuffles around their room- watching quietly as he slips on his clothes, his shoes, a simple chain with Eddie’s ring around his neck. A warm, affectionate smile breaks across his face. Before he leaves, Steve glances at what he expects to be a sleeping Eddie, but instead, he’s met with a rasped, ‘Hey.’ Eddie sits himself up, stretches his arm across Steve’s side of the bed, and reaches, fingers wiggling. Steve crosses the room to cradle his face.

Their foreheads press, noses bump, and Steve brushes his fingers across scars and dimples.

He breathes a quiet,

‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.’

Eddie huffs a tired laugh,

‘You know I never mind.’

Because, yeah.

Every morning Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie always hears him.

#in my feels this fine morning #eddie cant let steve go without his goodbye smooch #i imagine eddie would sleep through anything #but i also like to think he lets himself wake up #he likes to watch Steve’s morning routine #which may or may not include winking at himself in the mirror when his final once over checks out #steddie #steddie fanart #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things #i changed Steve’s face from the WIP.. it needed better angling #I’m not a writer so please ignore grammar and whatever other problems lol #i type like i read it in my head #so hopefully it sounds alright

the responses i’ve seen to shiv’s ending seem very quick to write her off as just another sad victim of the cycle, which isn’t without truth BUT!!! that is not even remotely the summation of shiv’s story.

i don’t think she votes yes to “save kendall” or to try to finally set her brothers free. and i don’t think her main concern was that ken was becoming their dad. she absolutely noticed and didn’t love it, but that was not her motivation in betraying him. she was thinking about herself.

it’s tempting to make a martyr out of her as she is the only female child and we see her suffer the onslaught of misogyny that comes with that. but to make her into a saintlike figure who got beat takes away the power and intelligence behind her decision.

at this point she’s stuck between two non ideal choices, but she recognizes that they have accidentally made her the single most important player in the game. because while she can’t have the outcome she’d prefer, she has the power to decide the fates of everyone else. the written off lone woman now holds in her hands the fate of every man in her life.

so she thinks about the long term benefits of both options and realizes that one side leaves her completely without any leverage.

her brothers have proven to her multiple times in the last few days alone that they will cut her out and walk all over her the first chance they get. siding with them leaves her nothing to bargain with. she would just have to hope that ken would actually take care of her. and that level of vulnerability is not only unacceptable to her, it’s stupid. and shiv fuckin roy is not stupid.

so she thinks about the other side and about what she actually wants for her life. and against her better judgment, it’s becomes unfortunately clear that she wants tom. the way she wants him is not altogether loving or even good but it is necessary to her. she sees relationships as having winners and losers and she chose this man specifically so that she could be confident in her ability to win. except now he’s grown some balls and made himself unavailable to her.

she may not like the way her husband is evolving but she already placed her bets on him, so she’s sure as hell not losing to him now. there’s also a part of her that feels intrigued by this new man she’s married to. it’s interesting to have a sparring partner in him instead of having to looking for excitement outside of their marriage.

so for maybe the first time ever, she processes what tom has said to her and thinks about what he actually wants.

he needs her to prove that she cares. he needs to know that she is capable of sacrifice. if she can’t find it within herself to do this for him, then she will lose him, and by extension, she will lose.

siding with tom gives her the opportunity to once and for all make a grand-stand gesture of love, but more importantly, it creates leverage for her. never again will he be able to hold the moral high ground over her head. never again can he say she doesn’t love him. never again can he call her selfish or uncaring. above all, he can never betray her again, because she just removed all of his moral justification for turning on her. he doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s just taken back all the power in their relationship. just in a more subtle way than she’s used to operating.

and just like that, she has the ceo of a multi billion dollar company in her pocket, while situating herself as the only descendant of logan roy to still be playing the game, having removed her brothers from the equation permanently. she may still be far from the top but she’s creating a path for herself to climb.

so yes, she’ll let tom play king for a day, and she’ll have his baby and say “congratulations,” and play the gracious wife, but tomorrow is a new day with lots of room to maneuver. and when her husband puts out his hand, she’ll place her own on top. but she won’t grasp it because she doesn’t need to.

#🐺 #shivy’s gonna be just fine #okay this ended up being a very long post but #i feel like someone needed to point out her wins #also i’m fully aware that remaining in the toxic world of the family business is not a win rly but #i think her ending is being interpreted as powerlessness #which it is NOT #she chose her spot. she’s calling shots #she may not have won today but she sure as hell didn’t lose #let’s not work so hard to sanctify her that we remove everything about her that makes her such a brilliant character #succession #shiv roy #siobhan roy #scn #tv
