Text #18: sorry i think the memory made me black out. God. Like. Look.

96 Thoughts while rewatching the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Pilot.
1. Midge graduated college early, got married and had her first kid in like a year and a half holy shit girl.
2. That fat joke not great. But ASP is ASP.
3. monogrammed butter pads. Like Disney World!
4. lol the bleaching.
5. Why did the man have to be Joel?
6. Midge why was Joel a gift from god? He was not. He was not a gift from god, the best thing he did for you was help you recognize Lenny when you eventually got thrown in the same cop cruiser.
7. The airplane gluuuueeeeee lol
8. The suit they put Luke in is too big on purpose, to try and make him look older and less attractive and it uh...doesn’t work.
9. Against a tree. Ugh. Not comfortable.
10. “we’re very happy” I love Abe so much.
11. So many angry Jews about shrimp.
12. YOU SHOW ME WHERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOD SAYS YOU CAN’T EAT SHRIMP.
13. I wish I lived where there was a dedicated butcher.
14. Poor Midge has no idea that she and Joel are skint because he hasn’t told her shit. God dammit.
15. Spending hours on that brisket. Hours to get it perfect.
16. He hates you, Joel, because you’re a terrible comedian and you don’t deserve a better time.
17. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.” You’re gonna find out, asshole.
18. Penny Pann cannot use an electric pencil sharpener. She is so fucking dumb. How did she figure out sex if she couldn’t figure out- you know never mind.
19. The music slaps.
20. Remember that no matter how in love Joel is acting in this moment, he’s been fucking Penny for months.
21. MONTHS.
22. He winds up so angry about Midge handling everything for him, but he let her. He enjoyed it. He barely had to lift a finger.
23. Oh Susie.
24. Oh Midge.
25. I owe my soul to the company stooooooore
26. “I should be kissing the brisket!” Fuck you.
27. Jackieeeeeeeeeeeee
28. Blugh.
29. Blugh Joel.
30. Susie knows what’s up.
31. “I was great.” Holy fuck.
32. One standing ovation everyone goes home pregnant. lol
33. We’ve never met Aunt Bertha. I want to. I deserve Aunt Bertha.
34. Fuck, Midge’s routine is so brutal. Paranoidly staying awake until Joel drops off, and then doing her entire routine and sneaking back into bed. Getting up before the sun is up to redo her whole look and then pretending to be asleep. Jesus, not thank you.
35. COMPLETE WITH FAKE EYELASHES UGH.
36. She really thought this was supposed to be her life forever. That this was it.
37. Morning Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. E-
38. Rose and the forehead. Ugh. Just the - the physical expectations...so much yikes.
39. lol schnorror
40. Oh Imogene.
41. Again. The every day physical demands are insane. And Midge puts this on herself for the most part, but I do get the feeling that Joel...didn’t help.
42. “I made curry but I also ordered Chinese.” BITCH NO! NO! YOU MAKE DINNER HE EATS WHAT YOU COOKED WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT AND IF IT IS TRULY UNPALATABLE YOU ORDER OUT TOGETHER. God damn, the shit this woman would go through just to make this horrible man happy. Fuck’s sake.
43. Poor Midge, realizing that Joel is stealing material. Thinking at first that someone stole his stuff.
44. THERE IS AN ENTIRE ENORMOUS BOWL OF LEMONS ON THE TABLE! Are they wax? Jesus that’s so many.
45. “It’s fine, everybody does it.” Feh.
46. “When I found out June Friedman stole my meatloaf recipe I almost stabbed her in the eye with a fork.” Big Lorelai vibes.
47. “You’ll learn.” Fuck you, Joel.
48. Midge made another brisket when Baz asked for latkes....
49. Midge is never on time. Just FYI.
50. Joel not getting his way gets shitty. We start to see how terrible he is here. The cracks of her being berated for things she can’t control. Like ted the moth.
51. He’s not a comedian, Midge.
52. LOL Susie. “THE CLEARYS ARE HERE?!”
53. The jerkoff motion lol. Love it.
54. Who here likes Hillbilly polka?! Me! I do!
55. SPOKANE!
56. Watching Joel bomb is rough. I absolutely hate this scene. If there’s one thing this show does well, it’s showing people bomb. And how bad it can be. It really is like chewing tin foil. Like nails on a chalkboard.
57. No one cares about your holey sweater, asshole. You cannot tell a joke.
58. It is so hard to watch. It is so hard to watch. Holy shit. Holy shit just stop stop Joel stop no no no no no no no no no.
59. And of course he blames Midge for his bad performance. Everything is her fault. He cannot take responsibility for his lack of talent. It has to be her fault.
60. And she’s trying to be supportive. She’s trying to be kind about this. And he’s just...awful.
61. Like i get that this was a bad night for him, but his lack of ability to deal with his life is atrocious.
62. And he’s leaving her because suddenly this isn’t what he wants, even though he’s been relying on her for their whole marriage. He loves it when things go right. He cannot deal when things don’t go his way.
63. “Nobody’s happy, it’s Yom Kippur.”
64. “he was in Buchenwald, throw him a bone!” lol I love this line. It’s a particular bit of very Jewish gallows humor that’s hard to come by in pop culture, and it’s what sold me on the show when I watched it for the first time.
65. She had no idea this was actually his dream. He never told her. They never talked about his dreams, or her wants. They don’t talk to each other.
66. BECAUSE YOU KILLED IT. It’s true.
67. “Do you know what a dream is?” What a terrible - god dammit.
68. YOU NEVER TALK TO HER ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU NEVER TALK AND SO SHE HAS NO IDEA! You fucking asshole. God damn. 
69. You cannot expect your partner to know everything without telling them. That’s just moving the goal posts around day after day. Jesus.
70. “I will be better. I will do better.” Poor Midge. god dammit.
71. He is so awful. I cannot believe I sit through scenes of this terrible man. He is the fucking worst. And he has been from fucking jump, and he’s only gotten marginally better.
72. “SO YOU”LL TELL YOUR PARENTS FOR ME?!” WHAT THE FUCK!
73. Joel Maisel is the WoooOOOOooOOOOOOooorst!
74. “I’m sorry.” You’re not sorry at all.
75. Though I think that was the only time he ever really said it.
76. I love how much Abe loves television.
77. “What did you do?” Ugh. Ugh.
78. “That was about deli, too.” lol
79. omg Rose. Her character development is amazing.
80. “You cannot survive this.” Yeah she can.
81. Girl I’d get drunk too.
82. favorite gif:
Tumblr media
83. It’s a Pyrex. My Pyrex.
84. Joel did not want to be challenged. He wanted to be coddled.
85. Midge her shirt was on inside out because she put it back on after fucking your husband girl.
86. THEM TITTIES
87. LENNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Tumblr media
88. For how much of an unforgiving hardass Susie can be, she also is very sympathetic to Midge when she’s falling apart
89. One standing ovation, everyone goes home pregnant.
90. lol eating chips on Yom Kippur mood.
91. 10 in the morning?!
92. You’re not my wife.
93. Their chemistry from jump was just amazing. He was only supposed to be a bit part and...yeah. They just...the way they look at each other, even from the beginning.
94. And she just waits patiently for him to finish his schtick. She knows he’s just gotta work through his little song and dance to get to her answer. They have a rhythm from the beginning.
95. THE FUCK BOY SHRUG.
Tumblr media
96. Yeah. He loves it.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Wednesday, February 28
WESLEY: Mr. Giles. I'd like your opinion. While the last thing I want to do is muddle bad behavior in front of impressionable youth, I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance would... GILES: For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about. WESLEY: Right, then. Thanks for that.

Ugh...
The repairmen are supposed to be coming today to tear out part of the first floor ceiling to fix the leaking pipe from the bathroom sink.
They wanted to come this morning, but I had the job interview, "we can come really early?" I was not getting ready for a job interview while my apartment was being torn apart. Also, what if it took too long and I was late for my interview? Fuck that.
I tell them I'll be back around noon, they can come then. "Call me if you can get back earlier." Alright fine
I get done early with the interview (like 10am, I got in early and it was a really easy interview. Turns out the manager and I have a mutual friend), way too early to go pick up Val direct from the interview, her class hasn't even started yet. She says she can take the bus home, so I call the guy and say I'll be home in 30, he can come then. "I'll text you the time we'll be there."
Get home, sit and play with Maggie, finally get "1:30". Well, that's a ton of time, I can still go pick up Val.
Get home (again.), Val's tired and we still have like an hour, so we go up snuggle in bed for a while. About 1:20 I head downstairs so I'll be there when they get here and they don't scare the shit out of Maggie by pounding on the door and spamming the doorbell again.
Waiting
Waiting...
1:55 - "fyi 2:20 running late"
I coulda still been snuggling with my girlfriend, you jackass! Ugh...

Saturday, 21 October, 2023.
It was a brisk 45 degrees at the early workout, but it warmed to 60 degrees by the start of the 0930. A perfect sunny Fall morning at the Barn.
The Admiral and Birthday Boy Armando led our mobility warmup.
Warmup #2
Demo'ed by Dana.
4 Rounds
10 Banded Good Mornings
10 Banded Thrusters
Armando's 51st Birthday WOD
1 ROUND
10 Bench Press ( 185 / 135 / 85 )
Row-Ski 1,972m or Bike 3,944m
18 Deadlifts ( 225 / 185 / 125 )
51 Sledge-Hammers
10 Minute Interval For Rest And Re-set Equipment
Bernard's 47th Birthday WOD
1 Round
10 Shoulder To Overhead ( 135 / 95 / 75 )
Row-Ski 1,976m or Bike 3,952m
24 Power Cleans ( 135 / 95 / 75 )
47 Sledge-Hammers
Scores:
Post Time For Armando WOD and Time For Bernard WOD.
HOWEVER, Chicken-Legged Larry gave me some heart-felt suggestions regarding the posting of scores, and since I am always and forever in tune with the old "2 heads are better than 1" (except in marriage), I realized that posting scores as one combined number was a superior method. Even better would have been scoring the elapsed time from start to finish including the 10 minute rest. But since we didn't post that way, I did all the math, combining everyone's scores and collating them as (thanklessly) always.
Shane=25:34** Bernard=25:41** Larry=26:03** Armando=26:20** Ed=27:58** Elisa/Kayla/Alicia=28:06 Robert=28:30** LSU=28 "something" Nathan=29:30* Rodney=29:31 Jon=29:33 Warren A=29:38 Joe=30 "something" Mitch=30:56 Dyer=32:09* Tim=32:30* Cherrita=33:45 Coach=35:54 Tom=35:56 WG=38:16 Faith (The Kid)=39:39 Shannon/Michelle=41:00 Sandy=42:00 Average Dave="Personal Records" Many failed to post scores. Like the lovely Ruth Anne.
Notes:
Considering these two Birthday WODs were designed by unprofessional programmers while under the influence of copious alcohol, our gang performed them with enthusiasm and negligible glomming.
Jon was sponsored by Rodney and is a Pediatrician known professionally by many of us. FYI, Robert has a jealous and monetarily competitive disliking for all Medical Doctors. Billed as a mono-structural athlete (runner), Jon seemed to do well under Rodney's tutelage and left with a fine BSN T-shirt. Michelle is Shannon's Sister and today was her first visit to the Barn. I think Michelle was intimidated and did not want to work out with us, stating her inclination to just go for a run in the park. With some arm-twisting and locking the Arboretum gate, I got her to work out with Sister Shannon. And it was a beautiful thing to watch. I'm sure they made fond memories today. She left with a T-shirt also.
Usually Kayla brews us iced coffee on Saturday mornings. Timmy even brought extra ice. Alas, Kayla didn't bring the coffee fixings today, mumbling the excuse that she "didn't come here from home". She left in a hot-rush immediately after the WOD like maybe she left something boiling over a hot fire, or maybe left the shower running.
Miss Linda returns from visiting our North Carolina Kids today, and she is going to be crabbier than usual when she sees all her pre-cooked meals that she left for me untouched in the fridge. She will know that several of my favorite Barn Girls fed me with their own home-cookin'. Usually the resident dog would have profited from this situation, but Miss Esther took Ginger The Pup home with her for the last few days.
This commercial showing Domino Pizza delivery persons flying thru the air delivering hot Pizza's without benefit of parachutes or drones is going to result in an outbreak of youngsters who identify as birds getting killed jumping from planes or other high places. Kayla brought a SoCal girl-friend to the Barn last week who I believe thinks she is a bird. Sammy D wasn't here that day, else they woulda bonded like Gorilla Glue.
Sunday at 0730 and 1 PM. I hope Kayla can make it.

Some bumps in the Road...(part 1)
July 21, 2023 - Happy Birthday to ME!
Well - I wrote this blog late last night and finished it early this AM and apparently did NOT hit POST NOW! Then I shut my computer down because I couldn't get Lion King to run without glitching and you know what happened to the post I had worked on for a few hours... DANG IT! I appear to be distracted.
Katelyn is sick. I think she had food poisoning as we all had different food for lunch and she was the only one that got all the symptoms of food poisoning. That started about 4:30 yesterday after another amazing day. So let me start from the beginning of yesterday. I'll get to the bad stuff toward the end. (She is much improved - FYI)
July 20, 2023
We had a leisurely breakfast - so leisurely that we kinda' missed our departure time so I simply recalculated and came up with another plan. Who can look at time when you are laughing and talking about places we have seen and things we have done? Instead of the Korean War Memorial we would go directly to the Eisenhower Memorial directly across from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where we had timed tickets to enter at 10:00 AM. PERFECT!!
The Eisenhower Memorial leaves me wanting. I really want to like it, but I can't understand it.

Behind the two main pieces - Ike as General (above) and Ike as President are excerpts of some significant speeches he gave - but you wouldn't know it unless you decided to see if there was anything on the back - but the wall. Also there is an abstract wire "something" that is supposed to be a picture of Point du Hoc on the beaches of Normandy but NO ONE would possibly know that unless you read the brochure - which I did. I took this image off the Internet and - well - what the hell is that?
Tumblr media
Plus there are these huge column in the front of the memorial that are just there. Weird. I did take the kids around the back and we read the speeches - but I spent most of my time thinking - WHO APPROVED THIS!?!?! I have seen it in the morning, afternoon and night and I'm still not feeling it. Moving on.
My plan had only 2 hours scheduled for the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - and that was a big boo-boo on my part - because the kids needed more time. We had a tour of the Supreme Court scheduled at 12:30 SHARP and to make that we would need to leave exactly at noon. With only 45 minutes to go and having never left the first gallery, I called a meeting. I suggested we skip the Court (since I'm still furious about all the recent decisions they are making regarding women's control of their own freaking bodies.) Senator Stabenow's office made the reservation for us - which was nice - but the time didn't really work. So we extended our Air & Space Time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We opted for a planetarium show - which was awesome and left me feeling like a moron- the kids know so much about the current exploration of our universe and I know so little - my mind was blown as they discussed what we had watched. Then it was time for lunch.
Tumblr media
On to Arlington Cemetery. But that will be part 2. Gotta' run.
Stay tuned....

1.30.23 Monday
7:52 am
Hating this windblow trap that I don't understand... This Manaloz conspiracy... I know there are so many mystery in the world.
Drinking my coffee now....
FYI, I didn't do any researching about a particular person coz I have PRIDE! But joining a talk like the issue of Mommy Adnil's family is a special case. People just approached me coz probably they can see the good soul in me... Lemme just continue the story of mommy Adnil...
I just need to pee for few seconds...
8:07 am
I need to take my allergic meds coz I keep on sneezing again,early in the morning...
Hmm... Lemme steer the steering wheel going to Mommy Adnil's angle of story.
How did we come-up about a bit of her story... I'm just with them for a month now... So, I just asked what happened Mommy Adnil? How did these things happened to you?
She said I have a "lumbar spondylosis then I take down note of that on my paper documents record. I said oh! Since when? She said I was there in USA coz every now and then I visited my sisters there aside from my personal touring coz of my hard-work in Avon....
Then, Mommy Adnil's words: "The time that I was in states with my sister it just happened that it suddenly ache or I felt pain on my lower back".
Meaning it started there in states and she just found out that her husband suddenly died coz of an accident by slipping on the bathroom floor. Mommy Adnil's husband was just here in the Philippines.
Then,the story stopped there....Then, lemme steer the steering wheel going to Ms Yoj the other daughter also a nurse.
I just asked what happened to the Villa Resort? It is a fair question coz it is apparently a Villa or a Resort just a normal,ordinary question. I just asked if they had an operation of their resort like any other swimming pool resort and Ms Yoj answered me that yeah! I was the one who managed that resort the time that it was opened before the lockdowns due to pandemic.
Then, it never opened again after the lockdowns due to pandemic... Then, all I know Anid my friend that I met in Nightingale was and still with them for a year now... Meaning, probably Anid was able to see the stage 4 of Mommy Adnil butt bedsore but when did the husband of Mommy Adnil accidentally slipped on the bathroom floor and possible that Anid was there, the time that the husband of Mommy Adnil was killed or accidentally slipped on the floor???
But wait... Mommy Adnil felt the pain on her lower back in the states....Then, story stopped there....She found out her husband died due to accidentally slipping on their bathroom floor?
But? What house, was it in Lacub the new fresh house or their main house in Imus? According to Ms Yoj...
9:46 am
Lemme explain things here angels.. Fresh house is below 10 years...
5,6,7,8,9 & 10 it is considered a fresh house though it became old due to the situation... Just like us here...
But! We've been here in Cavite for more than 30 years... We only had have 2 houses, that are originally owned by a family members such as my grandparent's and this house of my or our adoptive parent's...
1:36 pm
I still have the windblow trap and still I feel fat and ugly and this windblow trap of cult of Manaloz made us all quiet... But where are they?
4:13 pm
My God! The green Puppy the head got stuck on their cage... Me & Uncle Jun had an argument on how to get the puppy's head on the cage. He said you need to hardly push the head so that he can pull it out on the other side but the puppy cried so hard and Neko that mama was angry, she keeps on barking coz Neko was really worried that her green puppy cried loudly...
I said to Uncle Jun that we need to cut the cage coz probably green will die... I told him we can't just pull or push the head on other side coz it was already went to other side,the head of green puppy, he is crying and in pain and I told him probably will die if we keep on pushing or pulling... Uncle Jun said you are over reacting let the green puppy die...I told him huh? No! We can't let the green puppy die, green is still a puppy and Neko will get mad on us...
So,I went outside and asked some neighbour if they have pliers such as I went to habibi our arab neighbor if he has a plier or bolt cutter to cut the cage coz green got stuck and I don't want him to die coz he is still a puppy.
Habibi told me tried borrowing a bolt cutter on Tutoy's car shop and I went there and told me they don't have it... Went back in the house and I told Habibi they don't have it and if I can just borrow his old plier. He said they have there in Tutoy's car shop the bolt cutter and I said probably they don't want to lend me that...
Then,finally Uncle Jun cut the cage wire to get the head of green and we were able to get him alive and Uncle Jun just put an ice cream barrier on the cut side of their cage... Thank God! Coz angels when you heard green cry, you will pity the small puppy... He cried awhile ago that he was really in pain...
Tumblr media
6:12 pm
I feel bitter and having this windblow trap cult of ManaloZ...
I wanna see JP again, for some important matter for some important favour coz he was one of my upper boy friends way back... JP was really a man angels... Again, my status is "liberated" like our case JP and I we had something but we didn't end up as couple... I can't be with close-minded but we did like each other...
I feel bitter coz I lost the attention and I don't like women who are already part of some men's group. I'm longing to have my own group again... Where I can be center and I need a real men... A man with a fair mind set...
I feel fat and ugly and still wanna see donkey and camel... I feel so conscious down there... I feel so conscious even on my butt... JP can understand these things...
Still, have left aching sciatica and my left body is having pain...Weird!

Part 2: National Park and Secret Edelweiss Garden
Part 1 | The full list
Ah, yes. I think for me, so far, this is my favourite part.
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Adventure
Three days ago, my Mom booked a tour guide with a Jeep at Gubuk Ndeso. Yeah, you could book a Jeep there.
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park is a national park (duh) in East Java, Indonesia. Bromo is the name of a mountain and the crater, Tengger is a local tribe that lives around the national park, and Semeru is the name of a mountain. It's a very popular place for Indonesian, people who loves to watch sunrise, photographer, etc. Some Indonesian movies also takes place in this national park, because of the gorgeous mountains and hills.
It's Sunday, 01:30 in the morning and we woke up because the Jeep will arrived at Gubuk Ndeso at 2 am. This is the adventure plan:
Watching the sunrise at King Kong Hill
Went to the savana and take some photos
Went to Teletubbies Hill and having some snacks and taking photos
Take a few photos at Whispering Sand
And it turns out the guide's car wasn't a Jeep, but a FJ40 Land Cruiser. In the darkness of a very early morning, our guide took us through windy & quite bumpy streets, making us stay awake inside the Land Cruiser. On the way, the guide explained about he choosed King Kong Hill and the reason why. "Actually there's a lot of points where you can watch sunrise, and next to us right now, it's called Bukit Cinta (Love Hill), but it's too popular and it can get crowd, so I will take you to Bukit King Kong (King Kong Hill), which is quite crowdy, actually, but not as crowd as Love Hill."
The guide also explained about the cold, "If you came at dry season, it'll be colder because the wind is stronger. And what makes it cold is the wind, not the temperature. The temperature's not that cold, it's just the wind being so strong."
After 1 hour drives, which felt so short, the driver parked the car on the roadside, and said "I'll wait here, you can just walk a bit uphill for a few meters and you can wait while drinking hot drinks at the local stalls there. There's a street that leads to the watching point, it's super easy to spot. I'll be in the car, when you're done, just get back to the car."
So with thick jacket, gloves, and a beanie, we walked through the small street that our guide told us. There's a lot of scarfs, beanies and gloves seller, offering us their products. And a thing that quite surprised me is that some stall rent jackets. It's just new to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was very cold, so we get into a stall and ordered four hot sweet teas. And they're surprisingly very good. The tea taste different than any other teas that I've ever drinked. I don't know what kind of tea is this because I'm not the type of person who drinks tea everyday or a tea lover, but it's very good. All the time, I hold my glass to warmed my hand😅
There's a lot of edelweiss flower sellers, but fyi, edelweiss is a rare flower and in Indonesia it was illegal to pluck it. I don't know why there's so much edelweiss seller there. I just don't want to buy it. I think if I buy it, it's like supporting the sellers to commit illegal activity and killing more edelweiss.
There, we walked to the sunrise watching point after doing Fajr prayer. The road was quite dark, but it's not very dark. But just in case, you could bring a flashlight.
When we arrived at the watching point, it was still dark. It's crowded, but not very crowd. After waiting for a few minutes, shivering all the time, the sun rises, finally. And I swear, it was so f-ing beautiful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That completely, definitely worth the cold.
After pleasing our eyes, we get back to the car. Our guide was there, he took us to the wide savana through I'm not being dramatic here, but good Lord, it was beautiful. I'll put the photos on a different post because I have plenty of photos.
Just like the plans, we went to Teletubbies Hill and Whispering Sand. Here's the photos.
And with that, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has ended. Our friendly guide drive us back to Gubuk Ndeso. There, we have a simple breakfast, fried rice with sunny side up and some papaya, pack up that surprised me because it took a lot of time, then my father drive us to Bawangan Resto & Hotel for lunch.
Bawangan Bromo Resto & Hotel
Quick info, we didn't stay at the hotel in Bawangan Bromo Resto & Hotel, we just went there for lunch. We stay at Bromo Permai Resort, and I'll get to it later.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a nice, not too big, traditional-themed restaurant, and I had a good time there. We ordered their grilled chicken, rice, and deep-fried eel. Yup, eel. Unfortunately I didn't take photos because I'm so hungry😅 We ordered cold orange juice, and one unique drink. Cold saffron-colored rice. In Indonesia, people usually make traditional herbal drink called jamu with saffron-colored rice. It tasted really good. The taste wasn't as intense as I thought, tho. The grilled chicken was very good, but it was a bit too hot for my 8 yo brother.
Bromo Permai: Hotel & Restaurant
After taking some lunch at Bawangan Resto, my father drive us to Bromo Permai Hotel, a hotel which is actually bungalow's that sticks to each other with a very nice little garden in the middle.
The room was nice, it was simple but clean. It's a really nice place if you're searching a nice but cheap hotel to sleep because you want to go to Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Unfortunately, it was so cold for my family and I at night. We cannot sleep comfortably because of the coldness. Maybe if we're going to stay there next time, we would've bring a heater.
And with that, the second day has ended. Thank you so much for reading this!
All the love, -R-

I am an hourglass. ((I apologize for the lengthy post in advance. I needed to vent.)
That is what I refer to myself now, I do this not for the comparison of body to said item, oh no, instead it’s that much like an hour glass that once the sand dwindles down your time is up.
Folks I am now 194 pounds and dropping rapidly again. What this means is that for however fast this weight drops is however much time I’ve got before I am “supposed to seek medical attention immediately.” I’m not gonna fucking lie, I’m really afraid. (Lucky for me the lowest I can go an still be considered normal weight is 136. According to the BMI calculations. How about I really panic when I’ve lost 59 more pounds? I will be right under the “normal weight” which at that point will be 135. Sound like a plan? Good.🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️)
Also lately it seems conveniently right when I saw that I was under 200lbs that I stared having energy issues, weakness, nausea and my favorite part? The sudden urgency to vomit(most times anymore it happens right around the time I start eating anything. There is no fucking window anymore, no time for me to even run through the pretend emotions of enjoying food.) I’m exhausted. I’m fucking starving.
“What does your doctor say?” Don’t have one
“Maybe you should go to see another doc again just in case?” Don’t have medical insurance anymore.(money is tight. I mean like cut off your circulation tight.)
It is what it is.
Still scared, but it is what it is.
Really fucking scared, I can not stress this enough.
I mean for Jeebus sake…my skin hangs off me like drapes. It’s so cool. So cool.
“You need to drink more water.” Bitch, all water will do is help to form a little back into place, is it going to slow anything down? Nor will it give me energy.
Honestly, it shouldn’t matter what I drink? I don’t need to worry about getting fat anymore. Who fucking cares?
If you haven’t noticed I’m spiraling. Literally losing it here and falling to pieces as the weeks go by.
On a fun note I got a part time job. I’m not sharing that on here right now because I’m scared I won’t be able do it.
1) it’s retail and they want me to work at least 30 hours. I feel like that is too much for what I can do. The theater handed me my ass, but at that time I had more fat to feed my body.
2) the first day I start I have to help unload a truck. Do you see where this is going? I got so winded vacuuming today I almost passed out.
BUT…
I need the money. My life shouldn’t be trapped at home, begging others to help me or buy me things(food and what not.) I shouldn’t have to have others take care of me like I’m a child, but I do and no matter how many times I hear stupid mutherfuckers make comments to me like, “must be nice.” Or classics like, “look at you, you managed to get a permanent vacation.” Or “someone said, “I would like to go on vacation” to which the a other person looks at me and says, “you get to be on vacation all the time.” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️And finally this summer, “Sam gets to work and you get to stay home all the time.”
You all are soooo witty and such pieces of shit for those comments. You know who you are. 😁🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on your accomplishment of making me more miserable.
FYI I’ve been sitting in my garage for about an hour trying to type this, I came out here to do my nightly ritual to medicate myself enough to sleep. You would think with the exhaustion I would sleep like a baby? But you’d be wrong. (UPDATE: it’s now the next morning and I’m still adding to it)
Weed and multiple types of pills(melatonin, pain relievers like Tylenol or sometimes Benadryl when I have it. Oh and when I get some Gabapentin that really helps the process.)
Don’t lecture…I have no alternative and this works.
Ok there is my lengthy whiny tummy troubles blog.
To sum up:
•Under 200 pounds
•Scared
•Charity case
•Scared
•Mouth breathing morons think I’m enjoying my “vacation.”
•Weed+Melatonin+Benadryl=Sleep
•Scared
•59lbs to go.

Love like ours is forever.
Summary: basically you can’t sleep and watch tiktok, soon Alcina wakes up and cuddles you and fluff fluff, sexy sexy. Idk I suck at these
Warnings: slight nsfw, fluff, kissing, cussing?
Also, this is not the NSFW one shot I’m still working on that one, but until then have this. (FYI. Fuck canon.)
Tumblr media
Laying in bed with Alcina usually puts you right to sleep, no issue at all because being wrapped up in her arms felt so nice and her breathing would lure you right to sleep.
But in her sleep this particular night she rolled onto her side back facing you, you know it wasn’t her fault. She was sleeping! Her body must’ve wanted to move.
You stare at your wife’s back sadly, missing the way her arms would wrap around you and her giant body basically curl around you as if to protect you.
Sighing you close your eyes trying to fall asleep again but failing miserably. Your wide awake! As if it wasn’t 2 in the morning! Groaning you grab your phone from your nightstand and get blinded from it before quickly turning the brightness down and going on tiktok.
You never really used your phone around Alcina since she 1. Didn’t understand them, 2. Loathed modern technology.
Only thing that semi represents modern technology is the phone that Mother Miranda calls her on, or random business calls.
Which. She loathe, so you decided to just hide your iPhone from your wife. Not in a way that would seem suspicious just in a way to respect her.
You turned the volume down to the point only you could hear it and scooted to the other side of the bed. Far away from your wife to not disrupt her sleep,
Scrolling through you try not to laugh at some, and try not to cringe at others. Some time goes by and you don’t notice that Alcina had turned back over in her sleep and tried to grab onto you, but she quickly woke up when she didn’t feel you.
Opening her eyes , she lays there for a moment letting them adjust to such a bright light.
Once her eyes adjusted Alcina saw you at the other side of the bed snickering, And hold.. a phone? This usually would’ve irked her but she just wanted her wife back in her arms , semi annoyed that her body turned over on its own. Knowing that’s probably the reason why your over there and not over here with her.
She slowly inches closer to you and looks over your shoulder, you haven’t noticed her yet but that wasn’t what she was focused on. When she looked over her shoulder she saw you were watching.. videos? But she couldn’t help but smile when she saw what exactly you were watching. She always knew you loved animals but when she saw the way you smiled at the cat/dog videos she knew she might just have to get you one.
You giggle quietly as a cat jumped once an owner threw cheese on its head, and almost laugh loudly when it started to attack its owner.
Alcina smiled down at you, you still have yet to notice her but she didn’t mind. These were the moments where she could just look at you , so unguarded, so soft. She couldn’t help but lean down and kiss your cheek.
You jump immediately screaming while throwing your phone at the wall and quickly turning around to see your smirking wife staring at you fondly.
“You act just like the cats in those videos draga mea” Alcina said with that smirk still on her lips.
You can still feel the way your heart is pounding and Alcina notices before quickly pulling you into her arms.
Alcina soothes you by running her fingers through your hair and pulling you into her chest chuckling, she says
“Im terribly sorry draga mea, I didn’t mean to give you such a fright.”
You take deep breaths and soon pull away from the embrace staring at her.
“You made me break my phone.” You stated in a matter of fact.
Alcina scoffed replying “ugh as if those dreadful things matter, Why didn’t you just wake me up Iubirea mea?”
You roll your eyes and she glared at you grabbing your jaw roughly and forcing you to look right at you.
She snarled at you “do not EVER. Roll your eyes at me brat, Do you need a punishment?”
Eyes widening you quickly shake your head no. Last time she punished you she used the riding crop and spanked you 30 times.
30. Fucking. Times. She didn’t stop until you cried , but yet you never said the safe word loving the way roughness she provided.
She always took care of you after but, right now you just wanted her love. You whined and push your head out of her hands and into her neck nuzzling like a cat almost.
She hums in approval at your submission, petting your hair.
“Goodgirl, you should always behave an submit to mommy. I’ll take care of you now.. why don’t you just snuggle into me and fall asleep.” Alcina says, running her fingers through your hair. Kissing the top of your head, you whine “I want to talk to you,” you respond.
She hums again, before speaking. “whatever about dear?”
You shrug “I don’t know, maybe how much I love you?” You tell Alcina , she chuckles holding you a bit tighter. Making you feel even smaller, which you loved.
After a couple minutes you speak up again.
“Did I ever tell you how much I love the size difference between us?” You ask
She moves back a little bit to see your face, she smiles. Moving a strand of hair out of your face
“I don’t believe you have dearest.” She responded.
You get closer to her face and kiss her , she quickly takes over groaning when you bite her bottom lip. You pull away even though she tries to pull you back. Smiling
“I like that you have complete power over me, the way you curl yourself around my body to protect me is out right adorable. I love everything about it, and I definitely wouldn’t have you any other way, you mean so much to me I feel like I don’t say it enough but darling you are the moon to my sun, the stars to my sky.” You watch as Alcina eyes widen, before softening staring at you with such love and fondness it makes your heart skip a beat, she hears this and moves to where you are nose to nose. Staring deeply into your eyes
“Darling if you had asked me to pick out every star in the sky I would do it for you. There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for you, there’s nothing in this world that can compare to the love I have for you. You cannot hear my heart like I can hear yours, but even dead you make mine sing just as beautifully as yours” Alcina said all of this while staring into your eyes rubbing your sides eyes tearing up you cry out as you wrap your arms around her neck to pull her closer.
It wasn’t uncommon for you two to have moments like these especially after sex, but for some reason this felt so.. pure, so soft.
“If god is real.. I thank him so much for giving me you.” You let out while crying, she holds you tightly not enough to hurt you.
She rolls you onto your back laying on top of you , careful with her weight to not hurt you.
“There is no god here darling, only me. And only you, now let me show you just how much I love you..” Alcina says before going to your neck and kissing it, she grabs your hand and pins it above your head entwining your hands.
And that night you made love over and over until the break of dawn.

a/n: I decided to try my hand at a 3+1. I also started posting these on my AO3. FYI, JJ is not abused in this one and it does not follow any of the plot from the show.   **gif credit to @ptersparkers**
requester: anon “hiii!! :) could you do “Can I stay here tonight?” with john b please? :)”
summary: to simply put it, your home life sucks. you had managed to hide it from the pogues, until one night when things got really bad and you needed to stay the night at john b’s.
warnings: abuse, child abuse, swearing, slut-shaming
word count: 1997
Tumblr media
~~ONE~~
John B was the first one to realize that something wasn’t right with you and your home life. You were all 10, and it was lunchtime. You were all sitting down at the table. John B was on your left. Pope, Kie, and JJ were on the other side in that order. 
“I hate school. This place sucks ass.” JJ laughed.
Kie smiled. “At least the food is good.”
“Just barely though!” Pope shouted, making the other four laugh.
“I like school.” You mumbled and slightly frowned. You subconsciously rubbed the bruise on your left forearm that your mom gave you the previous night because you forgot to take the trash out. School was the only place where you didn’t have to worry if your mother was going to be drunk or high out of her mind, and it was the only time where you didn’t have to cook for yourself either.
John B heard you though, and he noticed the bruise when your sleeve moved up from you rubbing your arm. He could see it clear as day, on your forearm there was a nasty purple bruise the size of your hand that wrapped around all the way.
You didn’t notice John B staring, but you did notice the bruise peeking out. You quickly slid your sleeve back down and focused on your mashed potatoes.
~~TWO~~
He never confronted you about that time, he didn’t even know how he would start. He eventually began picking up on your signs that you were nervous. He may not be as smart as Pope, but John B was far from dumb. He noticed how you would tense at even the mention of your mom or home. His next major clue was when you all were 15. 
“Hello, Y/n.”
You nervously took a breath, trying to read the situation. “Hi, mom.”
“Guess what you didn’t do? You left here for two days and didn’t even clean the dishes before you left.”
As she stepped closer to you, you could smell the alcohol. “I’m so sorry, I’ll get started right away.”
“Punishment first, girl.”
“Mom, please. I’m sorry it was an accident and it won’t happen again.”
She just smiled evilly. “Nothing to do now or take it. You get it now, or it doubles.”
Your hand began to shake. “Yes, ma’am.”
She walked over and punched you right in the stomach. Your eyes squeezed shut, and you bit on your lip so you could hold in your whimper. She kicked you this time and shoved you to the floor. She punched you one last time in the eye before grabbing you by your hair, using her knee to hold down your right arm.
“Open your eyes. Now, do you remember what you said earlier?”
You nodded, before opening your mouth to speak, a hoarse whisper came out that you barely even recognized to be your voice. “It won’t happen again.”
After that, you washed the dishes, before going to bed. You waited until she left the next morning to sneak out. You had promised the Pogues a day on the boat. It would be John B’s first time to drive it without his dad, Big John, there too. You quickly looked at yourself in the mirror. 
A big bruise was prominent on your stomach, another on your eye, and one more on your forearm. You put on the one two-piece bathing suit that you owned with a huge oversized shirt over that. You tied your bandana on your arm to hide that bruise. For your eye, you’d just have to come up with some lie.
You didn’t live that far from JB, so you took a nice walk. It was nice until you got to John B’s. You walked in the door, expecting to see all of your best friends, but the only person was Big John. He was sitting on the chair, so he saw you walk in.
“Y/n! How are you doing?” You loved John B’s dad. He reminded you a lot of Heyward, Pope’s dad. They both adored you, and you and your friends treated them as if they were all your dads.
“I’m doing pretty good.” You smiled, lying.
“Oh yeah?” You nodded. “Then what happened to your eye.”
“You know me, I got into a fight. Where's everyone at?”
“They’re in the boat, waiting for you. See you all when you get back. And for the love of God, don’t let my son kill you all.”
“Yes sir!” You laughed and went out the back door. You quickly stuck your head back in. “See you Pops!”
You started running down the dock, smiling at your friends. “Is that a wild Y/n/n I see?”
“Yes, it is, JJ. I’m a wild spirit who refuses to be tamed.”
He smiled back at you, holding out his hand to help you in the boat. You saw his eyes flick up to your bruised one. He didn’t ask any questions. You went and sat down as John B steered you all into swimmable waters. He put out the anchor, and then everyone didn’t hesitate to throw their shirts off and jump in. All except you and John B.
“Not getting in, Y/n/n?”
“Not feeling it today. You’re not getting in?”
“I went surfing this morning, so I’m a little sore. What happened to your eye?”
“Fight with a kook.”
You looked down at your bandana and noticed that it was becoming loose. You waited until you were certain he looked away before taking it off and refolding it. You were in your own world, trying to match the folds up exactly. He looked over and saw the bruise. He was almost certain that he knew what was happening to you. He thought it was what happened to you at home, but a fight with a kook was extremely possible too. He looked away quickly and didn’t mention it.
~~THREE~~
By this time, he knew. He may not have gotten confirmation with you, but John Booker Routledge knew that his best friend was getting abused by her mom. He knew he’d have to confront you eventually. He wanted to help you get out of that situation.
This time happened six weeks later. He dropped you off at your door with the promise that he’d walk with you in the morning, to take you for breakfast.
“See you in the morning John B.” You don’t know what came over you, but you leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. You turned and walked in your front door before he could see the small blush that was creeping up your cheeks.
“So now you’re a slut? Makes sense I only see you hanging out with those three boys. Didn’t I raise you better, Y/n?”
“I’m sorry?” You asked, genuinely confused. Wrong move on your part.
“I think you heard me loud and clear. I saw you kissing that boy, you slut.”
“Mom, no. I swear it was just a friendship thing.” You lied, you did have a crush on John B but your mom didn’t need to know that.
She had enough, shoving you back into the wall. You don’t know what came over you, but you did it. You finally did it. For once in your life, you fought back. You kicked out your leg, knocking her down. She reached over and hit you in the eye, grabbing at your neck. She began to try to choke you, but you brought your leg up to kick her square in the chest. She let you go, the wind knocked out of her.
You took the opportunity and ran. You put your hood up and kept your head down. You didn’t even have to look up, it was like muscle memory at this point. You walked around the house to his window, before knocking.
“Y/n?”
“Hi John B.” You weakly smiled, urgency evident in your voice. “Can I stay here tonight?”
“Yeah of course Y/n/n, come on in.”
He helped you in his window before quietly tiptoeing out of his room. You awkwardly sat down on his bed, and he soon came back with a bag of ice.
“For your eye.” you almost forgot. “I know what happened.”
“Yeah, kooks are vicious at night and-”
“Y/n,” He cut you off. “Stop lying. I dropped you off at your house at 11:30, and you don’t typically go out after that. At least not by yourself. I know you. Just let me help you, me and dad can help get you away from your mom.” He pleaded.
“I came here to stay the night, not be met with false accusations.”
“Are they really false though?” He asked.
You sat there, opening your mouth in search of an answer. He had that look on his face, the same one he made when he won. You didn’t want him to win, at least no right now. You stood up and walked towards the window. Tears were gathering in your eyes. You quickly choked out and answer. 
“I’m going to stay at JJ’s. Good night John B. Thank you for the bag of ice.”
He didn’t know why he let you go, but he felt horrible. He was so close to getting the truth out of you, but he was worried if he kept pressing he’d scare you away. He decided he’d wait extra time before asking you again.
~~ + ONE~~
You had finally decided that you had enough. You didn’t want to deal with your mom anymore. 12 years. That’s how long your mother used you as a punching bag. It started after your dad left when you were 4, and you were 16 now. You had waited until your mom drank until she blacked out before you tossed as much stuff that you could into your duffle bag, packing more in your backpack. You tied the laces of your one pair of sneakers together and threw them over your head. You slipped on your flip-flops and left, with your head held high and not looking back.
You texted John B, asking if you could come over. It was 2 am but you were ready to go. As if he could read your mind, John B said you could. You ran faster than you’d ever had. When you got there John B sat with his window open, waiting for you. He took your bag and helped you in the window. You slipped the shoes off your neck and sat down on his window sill.
“You were right.” You told him.
He was holding your face in his, searching for injuries. “About what, bubba?”
“My mom and my home life. How long have you known?”
“I first noticed when we were 10. We were at lunch, you said that you liked school after we were all complaining about it, you had rubbed your arm and your sleeve rolled up and I saw a bruise. Why did you never say anything before? I could’ve helped you get out of there so much sooner.”
You sighed. “I knew it was bad, but I was embarrassed. Do you remember that one day on the boat like a year ago? When I wouldn’t go swimming? It was because my mom beat the absolute shit out of me the night before. And then there was that day I asked to stay the night, I was all sweaty from running and my eye was bruised. It was from my mom, but that was the first day I fought back. I left tonight because of you. Thank you John B.”
You were both staring into each other’s eyes, and he slowly leaned in. You leaned in too, to speed it up. And you kissed. You eventually told the other pogues, your mom got arrested, and you and JB started dating. You finally got out of the home all thanks to John B.

How wouldHhermit!Tommy react to someone like Evil Xisuma or Helsknight? (Not necessarily one of those two, it could be another evil hermit/Helsmit)
hello rayvee i owe you my Soul for the hermit canyon ask you sent about puffy’s beacon just fyi. hermit!Tommy meets Helsknight at like 1:30 in the morning, because they’re both sneaking into Wels’s base to steal from him. They stare at each other in silence from across the room.
“He keeps the good shit downstairs,” Tommy whispers.
Hels nods severely, then awkwardly accepts the fist bump Tommy offers him. After they’re done stealing, they hang out in the woods near Wels’s base and eat the man’s food. Tommy so desperately wants an evil clone of himself, now. Hels isn’t entirely convinced that Tommy isn’t the evil clone.

Hello sweetheart. First, thank you so much for your patience and your kindness. I love your rec so so much and I hope it won't be a bother for me to ask if you have some very recent, long fics that you liked? Possible with smut? Thank you so much. I hope my English was clear. Thank u ♥️
Hi darling. Your English is perfect. And your note is so sweet; I’m so glad you enjoy my fic recs and I’d love to rec some new fics for you! I’m not sure what constitutes “long”, but I’m going with fics that are 25K+ (and for some reason I seem to have been reading a ton of short fics), but these are all great!
Tumblr media
just a flicker in the dark by @falsegoodnight (E, 57K) I just finished this one last night and it was so good! The super original story and great pacing definitely had me on the edge of my seat. It had everything in it: hate to love, exes to lovers, scary supernatural elements, warm friendships, plus a sexy and emotional smut scene. Highly recommend it!
we can take the long road home by @pinkcords​ (E, 46K) This was absolutely gorgeous. And it made me cry, damn it. Seriously though, the writing is so beautiful. I loved the characterizations and the way they both showed their vulnerability. I loved the slow pace and the hot smut. Yeah… I just loved this fic
An Invincible Summer by Brooklyn_Babylon (E, 45K) This one is mine. Here’s the summary:
Never content to stay in one place for long, a few months down south researching for his novel seemed like an idyllic, slow-paced summer to Louis. He wasn't ready for the blistering heat, the backbreaking work of watermelon picking, or how stifling the attitudes in rural Georgia would feel. And he definitely hadn’t anticipated falling in love with the farmer’s son.
The summer of 1946 would turn out to be everything worth writing about.
Have Love, Will Travel by @kingsofeverything (E, 97K) This friends (co-workers) to lovers fic was sweet and romantic. The author does a lovely job of showing their closeness and love for each other even before Harry and Louis admit it to each other. 
Mine Would Be You by @crinkle-eyed-boo (E, 115K) Beautifully written, flawed characters and an emotionally engaging and ANGSTY plot. Super hot smut that made me cry like a fool. Banter, OT5 friendship, and the gritty realness of New York as a backdrop. Loved this one.
we can only look behind by @hereforlou (M, 66K) Absolutely gorgeous writing. Childhood friends to lovers fic that made me cry multiple times (Yes, I was a mess). This one had such realistic expression of emotions and such three-dimensional characterizations. Just loved it.
Stranger Stars by shaylea / @sunshineandhisrainbows (E, 212K) It’s a really unique fic that takes place on a 6-week safari through Africa. It’s incredibly detailed and the author does a lovely job with the character arcs and with setting the scene.
Nothing But You On My Mind by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense (E, 84K) I couldn’t put this down from the minute I started. Everything about it was such fun. Terrific banter, great chemistry, unique story, beautiful writing. I literally read the first 9 chapters in one sitting. Starting at 1:30 in the morning (like an idiot).
haunted by the ghost of you by missandrogyny (E, 49K) Sweet and funny, filled with great banter and OT5 friendship. And yes…I cried. A lot. (FYI: the E rating is a bit misleading. So don’t read it for the smut, but do read it because it’s really well written).
