I was thinking abt the occasionally fun but mostly frustrating tradition(in the states at least idk for sure if anywhere else does this?)of valentine's day boxes made for school.
That led me here. steddyhands and the dilemma of the valentines day box assignment for louis and alma, special feature on izzy and his rising blood pressure (sorry izzy bby akdnfjgn), which I'll be real i talk more abt in my tags on this since this probably isn't gonna be written out any further, so yeah. More plot talky izzy stuff in my tags.
Noting this in my tags too, but a moment to specify that ed and stede aren't trying to have like. a shitty parenting moment in this, they're just human and excited abt the situation and sorta fuck up a bit.
---
"The point is that they make the box themselves," Izzy says, for what feels like the hundredth time. "The only grade they get is 'did they do it or not'. Their teachers bolded that part of the email, remember? Said to mind getting too competitive about it?"
"Now I think Frenchie would happily take on the commission," Stede continues, thumbs tapping at his phone keyboard. "He'll reply quickly; he always does for me."
"It's a cardboard box," Izzy says. "To hold paper and cardboard valentines and cheap candy. That's it!"
"Money will help, but the overall design needs to be good," Ed says to Stede, as if Izzy and the kids aren't still standing there. "Money can buy resources, but it can't buy pretty, no matter how nice those resources might be."
"Oh that's good! Applies to other things too, I like it!"
"We bought them new shoes last week," Izzy sighs. Why does he keep trying? He couldn't say. "They each have a box already. We just need to help them decorate the boxes. That's it. That is all the teacher means with this project. I even asked Mary and Doug how they read it, and they agreed with me!"
"Ooh Frenchie has mock ups!" Stede cheers softly. "I knew he'd come through."
"It's okay," Alma pats Izzy's hand. "You tried really hard to make them understand. They're just excited."
"Can we go to the art stuff store now?" Louis whines, tugging at Izzy's other hand. "They won't even notice if we leave!"
"We should leave a note at least," Izzy says.
"Dad does love well written notes and random acts of abandonment," Alma sighs. "You dictate and I'll write. I want to practice my cursive."
"Really?"
"Dad can't read my cursive well yet."
"That makes more sense," Izzy says. "Louis, what are you-"
He watches as Louis tugs Stede's wallet from the countertop, and bolts outside, prize held up over his head with both hands.
"He won't notice," Alma reassures him. "You shouldn't have to pay for our stuff for this anyway."
"You've done this before."
"We'd be stupid if we hadn't," Alma tears a page from her notebook. "Here, I wrote it myself. I'm gonna get Louis in the car."
She's out the door after Louis, hands clapping to get his attention just like Mary did with them both.
"Either of you want to help me address that?" Izzy asks Ed and Stede, who he realises have indeed not stopped talking to each other the entire time. "She's a bit young to be acting like that, yeah?"
They're in their own world. Normally, he wouldn't care, but he's Guardian Five out of many and it feels like Parent/Guardians 1-4 could and should have already noticed it ahead of him.
"Fine," Izzy drops Alma's note by Stede's hand, deciding not to read it. That she actually went through with writing it is kindness enough. "I'm going to let her rack up a ridiculous bill on one of your seven credit cards, and they'll make those stupid fucking valentine boxes so fucking ornate..."
His anger fizzes out mid-sentence. Stede isn't listening. Ed isn't listening. Alma keeps honking the horn in the car and how did she get the fucking keys?!
"You know what? Fast food and ice cream for dinner too," Izzy adds. "On your dime. We'll bring you something back."
He turns his attention to Alma and the frank abuse of the car's horn. "Alma! The neighbours already don't like us, let's not make it worse! Not unless you've got something worse than this planned for later-"
--
The door thunks shut.
"Oh," Stede looks over to it. "Didn't Izzy just say something?"
"No idea," Ed replies, looking through design ideas on his phone. "Why?"
"They were just here," Stede continues. "Him and the kids. Right?"
"Maybe they went out for an after school snack," Ed shrugs. "To get inspired for this big art box project thing."
"Is that what this is? What was this for again?"
"Dunno for sure, but look at this," Ed turns the phone to show Stede the screen. "For Louis?"
Stede lets his concerns drop again. Izzy will mention if they're missing any key details about the kids' projects and what needs to be done. "I think he'd love it! Save that."
The house is getting dark around them, and he wonders if Izzy and the kids will be home for dinner.

Haven't vented about work lately, but not for lack of material, lol
Recently my peace of mind at work is shattered. You'd think that would have already happened, given all the stresses, but I was comfortable. Not stress-free, but I liked where I was at better than any other place I've worked before.
Our school felt like a team where each member cared about each other professionally. Not just people who work together by coincidence. There was drama sometimes. But not half as much as other places I've worked. And we always tried to make sure we reached out to each other to support each other, and thought about how our actions would affect someone else. We didn't half-ass stuff because we care about our coworkers and our students.
But there are a billion things wrong in how the school functions, and in what the company expects of us versus what a human being is capable of getting done in a single day, even using up her own break time, or staying late - despite a salary of peanuts and no paid overtime for "prep" work.
If that was all, it was bad, but I really thought to myself, "Every job sucks in some way. If you go somewhere else, it might suck worse." Because unfortunately I know that from experience.
But now we have all learned our assignments for the new school year. Out of ten teachers, four are quitting. A fifth left earlier this year for medical reasons and said she'd be back, but it looks like she won't - and it also is sounding like the reason she won't be back isn't medical. A sixth left in the summer, saying she had unresolved issues with the company and couldn't stand it anymore. And a seventh left in March of last year, which I'm counting in the list of recent exits because her reason for leaving was work stress.
So seven school staff leave in one year. Many of them are veteran teachers with ten years of experience. Three have leadership positions. We have had several other teachers come for one year and leave, or come for half a year and leave. The staffing issues are chronic. You'd think the company would try as hard as possible to hold on to the veterans. But instead they're blaming them. I got told that these coworkers formed a group to quit together and it sounds like it includes some teachers at other campuses. I don't know if it's true that they decided this as a group or not. I also got told that our leaders did a bad job of leading, our school manager did a bad job of keeping the head office informed of issues our school was having, and that other leaders disliked how our leaders ran our school to begin with.
They just blamed and blamed and blamed. But the problem is, even if some of it is true, what I know is that it's thanks to those leaders that we got through these past years, which were really difficult in many ways. One leader was absent for weeks at a time due to medical issues, and we all wanted to support her, but it's true that her absence was tough on us. But it was toughest on her co-teacher, who was left with all the work for her class up to her alone. All the prep and planning and looking after the kids and communicating with their parents and being responsible for everything about them. This went on for half a year. We kept asking for her to have a permanent sub, but the best we could get, we were told, was random subs who would sometimes show up and more than often wouldn't. Some of them could only stay for half days. They didn't know the kids. They didn't help with prep work. This teacher was totally bogged down with way too much to do, and despite doing it all with a smile, she finally broke down and cried. And THAT'S when the subs appeared - before that we were all taking turns leaving our own classes to help in hers, because we kept getting told there were no subs, there were no subs. And we kept having to help after the subs were assigned anyway, because the school got so many new students but was hemorrhaging teachers. It felt like we were all needed everywhere all the time.
After about a month the subs just stopped showing up. Then in January, a teacher from a different class was permanently reassigned to the partnerless teacher's class. It was not either of their request or demand. The company just couldn't find anyone to hire, so it plucked a teacher out of the class she spent all year bonding with and dumped her in another without even telling her in advance. She found out the same way we all day: in our daily meeting.
Guess who's among those quitting? The partnerless, overworked teacher, and the teacher who was removed from her class two months before the end of the year. And I'm supposed to believe the problems at the school are their fault?? These people who worked and sacrificed more than anyone???
As for the leaders. The one who is sick can't help being sick. A different leader is the one dumping all the blame, and she told me about this leader's mental health. I didn't ask because I would never do that. I don't know that the laws in Japan are about medical confidentiality, but I think it's gross that she told me about my coworker's mental health problems without permission no matter what. She seemed so desperate to blame my coworker and make me be on her side instead. The only side I'm on right now is my own, but I'm also going to defend the people I think deserve defending. The sick coworker wasn't perfect and did give me trouble sometimes, but she was a hard worker and could also be very nice, and certainly did a lot for our school.
The one that bothers me the most is our second leader. The new leader blames her for nearly everything. She didn't make our schedules right. She didn't inform the head office of things right. She didn't follow through. She didn't this and that and and and. Here's what I know: This second leader is my co-teacher, and she's one of the best people I know. She is an excellent teacher, amazing with little kids, super patient even with the most intense students - all of which by itself should be enough to make ANY company try as hard as they can to keep her. (By the way, the whole entire world to its own detriment INSISTS on undervaluing teacher skills, especially skills with very young kids. Please knock on your own heads, everyone, and ask yourself if it is really so simple to take care of little ones who are nonverbal, don't understand time, have no fine motor skills, scream at the top of their lungs for hours, and don't even know themselves why they're upset a lot of the time, and do it in a way that is always loving and kind and also just challenging enough to push them to the next milestone. ECE is HARD WORK. Not saying it's the same as working in a coal mine. Not saying it's brain surgery. But it's real work and everyone has such high expectations of their ECE teachers while also treating them like the lowest kind of teacher there is.)
But on top of all that, the second leader also did everything she could to help us deal with the understaffing. She found ways for us to take breaks on days when it seemed impossible. We are not paid during break time, so the fact that we are always working through at least half if not all of our breaks is literally us working for free. She went from class to class herself helping wherever she could, even though she missed being in her own class. She listened to the complaints and did what she could to alleviate them. She organized events and simply made sure our school functioned.
How am I supposed to believe this person is to blame for our problems? As far as I can see, she is the ONLY reason our school didn't sink totally this year. Literally THE ONLY reason. Our manager this year is brand new, always busy, and never on top of everything. I like her, but she really needed the second leader's help. And even though the new leader says the second leader didn't tell her about the issues at our school, we are doubtful, because they certainly knew about it the fall when they finally started sending subs. (In fact, the new leader was one of the subs who would come! How did she not notice anything when she'd stop by? To be fair she would only come for half a day, but still.) And the new leader says she didn't know about the first leader's chronic absences. But why? Whose job is it to look at the attendance?
I don't know, maybe more should have been reported about that, at least for the sake of the coteacher who was so overworked due to being alone. What happened to her was definitely not far. But at the same time, this company clearly has issues with anyone dealing with anything but perfect mental health. I actually warned a new coworker just the other day to be very careful about mentioning her personal mental health to management because thanks to this instance as well as others I just don't trust that this company gives a shit. I do! Don't get me wrong. I think my coworkers mental health matters a lot for their sake, and also for our students' sake! You know, if you have kids, and you're very angry, better to take some time apart and cool off, even if you're afraid to be seen as a loser for walking away from a fight, because adults are so much more powerful than kids and losing your temper for a minute can be terrible! It's important for teachers not to be at the end of their rope. Or, like the rest of us, just completely exhausted from doing a workload meant for several more people than are currently staffed.
But the new leader is acting like these teachers decided to get "burned out." That is the issue. It's not about the leaders or the other teachers. The reason we struggled is because we were understaffed and have been for years, and it's gotten worse. On top of the understaffing, more and more work was piled on too. Last year I broke down at one point, because we were so unbelievably busy that getting it all done felt totally impossible, and I had just been told that we now needed to plan and perform a teacher's skit for the holiday performance, which was like a week away. It was so irrelevant - I promise the parents don't want to see us perform, this performance used to be for the benefit of the older kids in the audience, but due to covid there weren't going to be any! It was so ridiculous so I said, "We don't need you to add more stress, we need you to take some stress away!" And the skit did end up vanishing into thin air, thank goodness. It's stuff like that that really pushes me over the edge because it's so unnecessary. Like this week a coworker is being sent to a different school to learn their routine because she is transferring there next term. I'm like why? Why does she have to go now instead of learning in April like the rest of us? Maybe there is a good reason, but the fact of the matter is we are understaffed and we need all hands on deck, especially if anyone calls in sick. Yet this teacher's being sent away to learn something she won't need to do until next term. If she COULD learn in April, they should have done it then.
But they are doing this sort of thing all the time. Just take our staff and make them do extra things, then act so shocked when we say we feel overworked and neglected. "How can you feel that way! We had no idea you were stressed!" No idea?? You thought this amount of work was reasonable??? That's what scares me. Because here is the 100% truth: I don't even get the bare minimum of my job done. We have lesson plans we turn in every month, and they include art projects, sensory projects, science experiments, dramatic play activities, phys ed activities, activities for fine motor skill development, and more. All of which we plan and prepare all the materials for by ourselves. Guess what? WE DON'T GET IT DONE. I don't have the TIME to do it all. I do as much as I can, but even then I'm hurrying through things or working on them while the kids eat lunch (and eating my own in three bits lol). We don't have the money either lol. Company has a very strange idea of how far our monthly stipend can stretch. Why does a class with ten students get the same budget as one with twenty, by the way???
And I'm just talking about the bare bones of my job. That doesn't include: planning and preparing events and assemblies, cleaning the school, making posters, putting together student crafts and photos, holding conferences, having school meetings, doing progress reports, doing other paperwork, and prepping and teaching electives (which we are required to do - I am currently doing one which I'm not required to as well, but me and my coworkers were basically guilted into it because the teacher at a different school who was doing it before unexpectedly needed longer paternity leave and after we helped out for a month, we were thinking of saying no to doing it longer, when we found out the teachers at that school were complaining about us not being willing to help. Like, my dude, we already ARE. Anyway, we kept helping for six months lol. This class is our "choice" to teach but it sure didn't feel like a choice.)
These things take time!!! I get at most an hour of prep a day, usually chopped up into 15 or 30 min blocks. And we don't have any space. All the rooms are in use at all times and the staff room is basically a closet. I've done work sitting on my butt in the hallway. And I don't even always get that hour. That's why I use my break. Because I don't want my kids to suffer - and I don't want to be told I'm a bad teacher because I didn't get my work done. But it's impossible to do it. Literally just impossible.
It's ridiculous. They are two years olds. When I taught elementary school I did NOT have this much to do lmao.
And the company finds ways to cut costs everywhere. There used to be a cleaning service: now we clean instead (during our break time!) and the school gets a professional deep clean twice a year. There used to be only one teacher on nap duty. Now local law requires two. Did the company do anything to make up for the loss of prep time? Nope.
Some things are so infinitely stupid it drive me crazy. Like how after taking the kids' temperatures when they wake up, we have to write it down in two different places, even though management AGREES that one of those is redundant and parents dont even look at it. It was a covid measure of extreme stupidity. We've asked for it to go. Nope - it stays, despite being useless! And instead of that going away, we have now been given a THIRD thing we have to start recording that we didn't before! We have to write all these things down while also changing diapers and taking kids to the toilet and giving them snack and watching so they dont choke and making sure allergy kids get the right snack and cleaning up the tables chairs and floor and sending kids home with their parents and talking to the parents about things that happened during the day without forgetting any of it. Meanwhile the kids are kids and are playing. Who do they think is watching them with all this endless other stuff to do?????
BIG SIGH
So the teacher who aren't quitting: One is becoming a sub and based at a different school. Three are being transferred to other schools. Only me and one coworker will be left. ONLY THE TWO OF US!!!!
We will have an ENTIRE new team in April. I'm told there will be a few experienced teachers transferring in. But most will be new hires. And on top of that... The company CAN'T FIND enough new hires! So we will be understaffed AGAIN. Which is a BIG PROBLEM because GUESS WHAT. We are going to have even MORE students next year! And events and assembles etc will be much bigger and more involved than they were before, because we are returning to the pre-covid school calendar. I'm absolutely buckling under the pressure of thinking about the workload. It's not sane.
That's why I had the talk with the new leader. I really wanted her to understand from a teacher's perspective how absolutely bonkers it is that they want us to take on this many students with a staff this is almost completely new and still isn't up to the number of staff we're supposed to have. AND we'll be minutes both leaders! We will have the new leader, but she will only visit us now and then. The previous leaders were on campus every day (when they were healthy) and knew the school inside and out.
Like always I wondered if I'm totally overreacting because I don't like sudden changes. But all my coworkers are too. The ones who are leaving have been going out of their way to do whatever they can to make things ready for April. The ones who are staying (aside from me and the other teacher, the manager is also staying) are stressing out same as me. That's why I talked to the new leader, because I don't like sudden changes without reassurance that all the necessary preparations have been made. And I am NOT reassured. Mostly she just blamed my coworkers for everything! She didn't assign any responsibility to the company at all. It's not the company's fault it hasn't been able to hire any help for the past three years apparently! Surely it's got nothing to do with the lousy pay they offer or the very high English ability they require -__- My gosh, if you can't raise the pay then lower the English requirement. For heaven's sake. You can't act like you're Richie Rich's school with only the best of everything if you don't have the money. You certainly don't pay your teachers like they're working there. We scrub toilets on our breaks and then get a fifteen dollar raise at the end of the year, lol.
I have so much more to vent about here but this is already long and infuriating enough. I have strawberries in the fridge so I'm going to eat them.
On the bright side my students are adorable and I love them to pieces. The weather today was so beautiful so I let them play outside for a full hour. Would love to do that way more, it's a matter of the outside play area being small and other classes needing a turn too. But today we were lucky and could have it all to ourselves. I had the most peaceful time sitting in the grass blowing leaves around with my students. There was no stress then at all. And they didn't fight or argue or cry. They even shared toys without needing help. Literally a picture-perfect class as long as we were out there. That is the reason I love this job and this age of kids. They are so creative and so unrestrained by the opinions of others. This is the only time in your life you can be truly yourself without needing to make a conscious effort at it, and without being afraid of how other people will treat you for it. Honestly that's why I like kids so much better than adults. Kids can be horribly mean. But at least they're honest. Adults are nice to your face but hating you under the surface. I've always hated that, I think most people do, but unless we follow the social contract I guess we'd all be killing each other all the time.
Anyway, this innocent age is so important. So I want to keep working with these kids, but I don't know how much longer I can do it. Here, anyway. We'll have to see what else is out there that could be better. I'm not a money-minded person, but it would be nice to get paid more than peanuts, because I hear there aren't enough white babies *eye roll* and if you want me to go start making some I'm gonna need to be able to pay for them. But it's my own fault for choosing a job which pays peanuts. Taking care of young kids is vitally important but economically worthless, and having a baby is vitally important but economically worthless.. go figure *eyes rolling down the hill over the bridge down the lane.........*

6 and 23 for the ask list!
- zee 🤍🤍
Thank you Zee! 💜
6. signature/favourite scent?
I answered signature scent here and my favorite scent is probably lavender or roses. I like drying flowers and those two are my favorite. Wisteria is also pretty nice.
23. a story from your childhood?
Ooh okay, so when I was in like 3rd grade (10-11 years old), that's when they kinda tried to teach us some of America's basic history and in my area we focused on learning about the nearby tribes, about coming out West and the gold rush, the California missions and things, etc etc so we learned a lot about the 'western pioneers' coming out here in wagon trains. So every year, the 3rd graders in my town take a 'wagon train trip.' Basically we get assigned a partner and spend a few months getting the materials we need, making a wagon, decorating the wagon (though not too much), and then the class sets off from the elementary school on a Wednesday, heads up a trail that starts right across the road with the wagons, and basically hikes like 5-6 miles up to the campground on my road, stays there learning cool history and camping stuff the Thursday, and hikes back to school on Friday. The wagons are usually about 100-120 pounds, because we have to carry like everything in them. All the camping supplies, all the food making supplies, all the little rocks and sticks 10 year olds collect in the woods, all of it. And the parents are there to help, of course, each kid has to have one adult along with them, but they're more there as backup and supervision. It's mostly the kids hauling the wagons. Me and my partner's wagon was cool as fuck and honestly the best constructed wagon on our trip. We didn't have a single "wagon down" moment where shit collapsed and had problems. We used a wood hauling cart as our base, so it had tall sides to keep stuff from falling out (unlike, say, all the little red wagon bases other people had), and our wagon cover was canvas over willow branches, so it was pretty sturdy without being too stiff. We also had my dad the expert backpacker helping us pack lightly and efficiently. And because I live in the area, I'd already hiked the trails we were on many times, which was really helpful in keeping my spirits up every time we had to haul that thing uphill. So yea, it was honestly a really fun trip, it's something the kids around here look forward to in 3rd grade and it was always really fun gathering on the playground to cheer on that year's group setting off.
I'm bored, send me asks

Movie Nights and Pillow Forts. (Hournite)
Tumblr media
Summary: The team has a movie night and Beth and Rick share a pillow fort.
Warning: None
Categorie: Fluff
Read notes at the end.
The week had been hectic for the new JSA, fourteen tests collectively, a fitness gram in Beth's gym class, six late assignments for Rick, and sleep deprived Courtney and Yolanda were not having any good times. And that's not even mentioning the ISA and their mysterious plans.
Pat tried to take it easy on them during training, his parental instincts telling him something was wrong.
As they walked into Pit Stop for their training session on Friday, they found the training room to be void of equipment. No half made puppets of the ISA, no punching bags or targets to aim at.
The team gave Pat a questioning look and he explained himself.
"We're gonna try something different. You guys have had a hard week and over exerting yourselves isn't helping anyone out in the long run. So you're gonna take it easy for today."
"Thanks dad," Yolanda and Rick joked.
"So what are we going to do?" Courtney questioned.
"Just some easy team building excercises. You all have to feel just as comfortable being together as you do being apart."
"We do," Beth defended brightly, but shrunk at how everyone stared at her. "at least, I do."
"Yeah, no thanks. Team building excercises? This isn't summer camp and I'm not three." Rick stated.
"Be nice, Pat's just trying to help." Beth chided.
Rick rolled his eyes but complied.
"So what did you have in mind?" Yolanda requested.
"Well, just something easy, hopefully that you'll find fun. Get you guys a little de-stressd."
"Pillow forts!" Beth exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, what?" Rick turned to her.
"Pillow Forts. I never had any friends to make pillow forts or have sleepovers with, but they always seemed super fun to make." she explained brightly, not even realizing the sadness in that statement.
Rick's heart hurt at the underlying weight of the words she didn't even realize was there. He understood what it was like to feel alone. He wanted to reach out and hold her hand but he didn't.
Courtney smiled at the girl and said, "I think that's a great idea, we could build them together as a team-"
"And Chuck could project a movie while we're inside. We could totally have a sleepover." Beth proposed.
"And where are going to get pillows to make the forts, this is a car shop not a mattress firm." Yolanda brought up.
"Pat can go home and get stuff." Courtney offered.
The team looked to Pat, the girls had pleading eyes and Rick looked plain uninterested.
"I don't see why not." Pat said.
Smiles took over the girls' faces and Courtney highfived her friends.
"Ooh, and I could get snacks from my house. Just get on comms and tell me what you guys want." Beth offered. "Of course, if you're willing to drop me off, Mr. Dugan." she said sheepishly.
"Sure, kiddo."
"Yay!"
"Okay, well, let's get going. Court, I'll tell your mom you're staying over at a friend's house, the rest of you call your parents and let them know you'll be out."
"It's fine, my parents probably won't even notice I'm gone." Yolanda grumbled bitterly.
"Same here," Beth chided. "They work at night a lot now that I'm older."
Rick stayed silent, wondering if his uncle would come home at all that night. Not that he'd bother to check on the boy.
"Okay, well be back soon," Beth smiled, grabbing her goggles our of her bag and running out the door to catch up with Pat who had already gone outside.
The three teens stood in silence for a bit before Courtney and Yolanda started looking for good spots to set up their fort.
"Don't forget comms," Courtney reminded before turning hers on.
Yolanda and Rick followed her example and were met with Beth's voice.
"Alright, we're almost at my house, what movie were you guys thinking of watching?"
"Umm, we're not really sure, what can Chuck play?" Courtney replied.
"He can do anything really, oh wait, okay, anything but badly done historical drama or science fiction. He prefers something more accurate."
"But isn't the entire point of both those genes the fact that they're dramatic and fictional?" Rick queried.
"Chuck says some stuff just goes too off the charts. It's more the inaccuracy that irks him. What about something from the 80's, that's always fun. Maybe something like The Breakfast Club, or Heathers." she proposed.
"Nah, not Heathers. That Kurt guy was a real asshole." Rick chided.
Courtney and Yolanda turned to him in confusion, surprised he knew anything about the dark teen drama.
Rick simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, we're at my house, gimme a minute while I look for my keys. Be right back." Beth said before their connection cut out.
"Kurt was an asshole?" Yolanda prodded
"What?" Rick defended. "Beth told me a bit about the movie."
Courtney snickered.
"You shouldn't say profanities around Beth. It would be a shame if her Prince Charming was a bad influence."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rick interrogated
"Nothing," Courtney shrugged before giving Yolanda a knowing look.
"What?" Rick pushed.
The girls only shook their heads. He was about to say something else when Beth came back online.
"Hey guys, sorry, I kept dropping my keys. What do you guys feel like. There's a ton of chips. And some chocolates. Ooh, I found a huge bag of candy from Halloween. It's still closed!"
"Uh-" Courtney was interrupted.
"Popcorn is a must." Beth added before the sound of something being placed in a bag took over the coms.
"Are you just taking everything?" Yolanda asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." Beth confirmed. "And Pat shouldn't be back for another fifteen minutes so I should have time to grab some pajamas."
"Oh, that's smart. We're just going to be sleeping in our school clothes." Courtney stated.
"Actually, I have some clean gym clothes in my bag, a few shirts and a couple pairs of shorts. You can borrow some." Yolanda supplied.
"What about you, Rick?" Beth spoke.
"It's fine."
"No, come on, we're all gonna have something to wear. I'm sure I can find something, or maybe Pat can get you some clothes."
"It's okay, really."
"Nope, too late, I already have clothes for us."
"How are you so fast?" Courtney wondered aloud.
"I'm magical." Beth joked.
Rick almost said 'yes, you are.' But pushed that thought down to the furthest reaches of his soul.
"Maybe something scary?" Yolanda said.
"I'm not a huge fan of scary movies." Beth replied.
"What about a rom-com?" Courtney offered
"No way." Rick opposed.
"How about Twilight." Courtney said.
"No!" Rick and Yolanda exclaimed in unison.
"Harry Potter?"
"We don't stan JK these days." Beth expressed, earning a nod from Yolanda.
"How about a mystery movie?" Rick proposed for the first time.
"I'm unopposed." Yolanda declared.
"Me too," Courtney agreed.
"Okay, I'll if there's any mysteries Chuck reccomends. He says he likes Clue." Beth provided.
"Sounds good." Courtney replied
"Yeah, sure." Yolanda answered.
" M'kay," Rick added.
"I'll be back, I need to get the rest of my stuff."
"Rest of your stuff," Courtney began. "I thought you had everything, what else are you-"
"Bye guys!"
"-getting?"
Courtney quickly shrugged it off before guiding Yolanda to once again look for a place to set up their pillow fort.
Rick leaned against the table behind him until Pat and Beth got back a bit later.
The short girl came in wheeling a suitcase behind her.
"What do you have in there?" Yolanda was first to question.
"Food, clothes, nail polish, some toiletries, pillows, blankets. Just the basics."
"Isn't Pat already bringing blankets? That might be too many."
"We're making pillow forts, is there ever such a thing as too many blankets?"
"That's fair." Courtney input.
Pat came in, sliding a cardboard box against the floor.
"These are some covers we never unpacked and I have pillows in the car." The man announced.
"This is going to be so much fun." Beth proclaimed, opening her suitcase and pulling out five blankets. Two pillows that had been shoved inside sprung out and we're grabbed by the girl. "So, where are we making these?"
"Court and I decided we'd have a place over here," Yolanda pointed to a corner below the stairs. "And we would tie some of the blankets up and let them hang down and then we could space the sides out with the stools."
"Nice," Beth complimented. "How about you Rick?"
"Umm...I don't really know how to make a pillow fort." He stated plainly.
"Oh, that's okay, I can help you. I read up on it during the ride back."
Rick nodded his head curtly before standing up straight and allowing the girl in front of him to lead the way.
With arms crossed over his chest, the boy listened intently to Beth as she rattled on about all the different ways and places they could put up the fort. He felt strangely giddy at the amount of excitement in the girls voice.
The two settled on a spot next to Courtney and Yolanda, choosing a similar approach to the construction of the fort. Beth ran up the metal stairs and instructed Rick to toss up a blanket. She tied two of the ends around the rails of the walkway and repeated the steps until the fort had four 'walls'.
Beth ran down to Rick, who was tossing pillows inside the fort, taking an excited look at their creation.
"And for some added structure," the girl grabbed two foldable chairs from across the room, dragging them to the fort, placing them inside. She moved one back until it, and the fabric covering it, met Courtney and Yolanda's stool. She then moved the other side approximately the same distance on the side parallel.
Beth emerged from the fort all smiles. Rick embraced the slight smile that made it's way onto his face when he saw her ecstatic expression. She raised her hand to highfive him which he awkwardly returned.
Pat had sat watching the kids build their forts, happy that they were having fun, but stood when he realized it was getting dark.
"Okay, I'm gonna head home. Please, keep everything in one piece. And Court," Pat gave the blonde a pointed look, " the staff comes home with me."
"What?" Courtney, who had built her fort with the help of the staff, asked caught off guard
"Yes. I'm going home and it needs to come with me. It had to go back in its box for the night. I'm glad the two of you..." he struggled to find a word," bonded. But it needs to go back home."
"But Pat," Courtney groaned.
"No 'but pat's, it needs to go back home." he stated softly.
Courtney looked at the glowing stick that levitates next to her. She pouted, but moved her head in Pat's direction, signaling the staff to go with him.
"See you tomorrow," she told it.
"There's a mini fridge and a microwave in my office. Remember, one piece. Night kids, have fun." Pat chided as he walked out the door.
"Goodnight Mr. Dugan." Beth called.
When he drove off, the teens sat in silence before Beth spoke up.
"I'm gonna go heat up some popcorn. There's snacks in my bag and Rick, I brought some clothes for you to change into."
"Thanks." he said as she tossed a large t-shirt and pair of pajama pants in his direction.
Beth went into Pat's office to make to popcorn as Courtney and Yolanda settled into their pillow filled heaven, wrapping themselves in blankets and waiting for Beth to get the movie started.
Rick went in his fort and decided he might as well change into the clothes he was given.
He had just reached for the t-shirt when he heard the fabric pulled back.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Beth cried and turned away when she saw Rick was shirtless.
"It's, fine, what's up?" he asked masking his blush by pulling the shirt over his head.
"Um," Beth flushed. "I was just wondering if you wanted any popcorn. She said shaking the bag in her hand.
"No, I'm good, thanks though."
She simply nodded before uttering,
"Chuck's gonna start the movie soon."
"Kay."
Beth shuffled off to give the girls popcorn. Entering the tent she was greeted by Courtney and Yolanda saying, "Hey," in unison.
"I have popcorn." Beth sang.
"Ooh, yay." Courtney praised.
"Give," Yolanda said, making a grabbing motion with her hand and smiling happily.
Beth gladly complied, handing the bag over to the girls.
"I'm gonna get Chuck to start up the movie. Don't eat all the popcorn without me, I'll be right back."
The two girls nodded, grinning, and opened the popcorn.
Beth left the fort and got her goggles, placing them over her eyes.
"Ready Chuck?"
"Indeed."
"This is going to be great!"
Beth took off the goggles and pointed them at the wall across from her, gently placing the goggles on the floor as the opening credits began projecting on the wall.
She rushed back to the girls' fort and stepped inside to see Courtney trying to throw popcorn into Yolanda's mouth.
"Okay, it's on." Beth announced, loud enough for Rick to hear as well.
The girls moved closer to the opening of the fort and peeled back the opening to watch the movie.
They watched lazily, sometimes shifting to find a better way of sitting. Courtney and Yolanda carried on their own conversation as Beth painted Courtney's nails listening to the movie in the background.
As the girls waited for their nails to dry spoke to eachother lowly as to not disturb Rick next to them.
Beth lightly tapped her nails to see if they were dry and Courtney and Yolanda shared a teasing look.
"Do you think he's lonely over there?" Yolanda asked Courtney, just loud enough for Beth to hear.
"I'm sure he's fine." Courtney continued
"I don't know, maybe someone should check on him?"
The two turned to Beth with a knowing look.
"I'll do it," she offered immediately. "Yeah, it's not right for him to be all alone."
She rose from her position and stepped over pillows to leave the fort. She quietly walked over to his fort, hearing Courtney and Yolanda's quiet giggles behind her.
The front Rick's fort was a little open. Beth walked to the side and pulled the blanket back.
"Knock, knock." Beth spoke
"Hey," he greeted.
"I thought you may be lonely. Well, Court and Yolanda thought, but I wanted to see if you needed company. So I can stay. Only if you want me to of course." she rambled.
"Yeah, sure." Rick responded softly, scooting over and patting the spot next to him. She gladly entered and took her place next to him.
Her legs were crisscrossed and she twiddled her fingers, appreciating the glittery polish on her nails.
Rick turned to her, a smirk on his face.
"Thanks for making this with me," he gestured to the fort around them. "It was...surprisingly fun."
"Told you." Beth gloated, bumping her shoulder to his.
"Yeah, you did." Rick said under his breath as he gazed at her. He admired her eyes, the way the light reflected off of them. Rick inhaled sharply before taking a leap of faith.
He draped his arm across her shoulders to test the waters.
She quickly moved closer and laid her head on his chest. A wide smile graced his face, she didn't notice though, focusing all her energy to prevent the blood rushing to her face. She failed.
They stayed in that position until the movie ended.
Rick was half asleep by the time the credits finished rolling. He was snapped awake by Beth moving from her position and making a move to leave the fort.
"Where are you going?" He whispered.
"I'm gonna change then go to sleep in the girls' tent. And of course say goodnight to Chuck."
"Oh," he responded, trying not to let his disappointment peek through. "Okay. Goodnight."
"Night." she smiled and left the fort.
Rick frowned but perked up just a bit when her heard Beth's sweet voice say goodnight to the goggles. He thought it was adorable how much she cared about the AI in those goggles.
He layed back and tried to fall asleep but soon realized it was much more difficult when Beth wasn't in close proximity. He ran his fingers through his hair frustratedly and tried to build up enough courage to just ask Beth to stay with him that night.
But he quickly found he didn't have to. As if the universe heard him, he saw Beth cautiously lift up the opening of his fort.
She looked sheepish as she met his eyes.
"Courtney and Yolanda are hogging all the space inside. Would it be alright if I could, maybe, stay here. It's up to you." she questioned quickly.
Rick nodded his head as apathetically as he could, when on the inside he was absolutely thrilled.
Beth slowly stepped into their fort. Rick made note of the oversized black t-shirt she wore that fell over her light green pajama pants.
She layed down facing the opposite direction as he did, but bot could still feel the body heat radiating off the back of the other.
"You know the reason Court and Yolanda sent you over here was probably so they could have the tent all to themselves." Rick stated.
Beth thought about it for a minute before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank goodness. I was worried they were getting tired of me. Phew."
"Why would they get tired of you?"
"Everyone does at some point. Even if it's just for a little bit."
"Hey," Rick said darkly. "I'm never gonna get tired of you. Ever. Not even for a little bit. You understand?" He asked with a seriousness yet softness she didn't see often.
She nodded her head, hoping he could understand the gesture even if he wasn't looking at her.
Beth moved back until she made contact with Rick. Their backs were pressed up against eachother and they both found comfort in the warmth of the other.
Beth lay frozen, worried about if Rick was okay with the contact, but her worries were soon relieved when she felt Rick's hand reach for hers.
They interlocked their fingers, still not looking at one another, before they both fell into a peaceful sleep.
...
Rick woke up to light streaming through the covers of the fort and the sound of giggling.
He looked to the source of the noise to see Beth and Yolanda holding the blankets open.
"What?" He asked groggily.
They only giggled more.
That's when he registered the weight that covered half his body. Beth was practically on top of him, her face snuggled in his chest.
Rick's eyes widened and his system was shocked awake. He heard Courtney smack her hand over her mouth to muffled her laugh at the sight of the boy.
"Pat's going to be here in half an hour. We need to take everything down." Yolanda supplied.
Rick nodded his head tiredly and the girls walked away, letting the blankets drop behind them.
Rick gazed down at Beth, angry with himself for liking their position so much. He groaned internally as he tried figuring out how to wake Beth up.
He gently tried to move her off of him, laying her just beside him.
"Beth, you have to wake up." He tried softly, lightly shaking her shoulder.
She groaned, but complied, blinking several times.
"Pat's gonna be here soon, we have to start taking everything down."
Beth frowned.
"But it's Saturday, can't we just stay here for a few more...hours?" She proposed.
Rick chuckled softly at her question but shook his head.
"It's already light out, my uncle probably knows I'm gone." the boy grimaced.
"I wish you could just live with one of us."
"Yeah me too," he whispered.
Beth propped herself up before crawling out of their fort.
Rick followed and saw she was heading up the stairs to untie to blankets. He saw the pout on her face as she undid the knots and watched the sheets fall to the floor.
"You know, maybe we can do this again sometime?" Rick called up, smiling when he saw Beth perk up.
The team worked together to undo everything and neatly organize their pillows and blankets. They all decided to change back into their clothes from the day before, Courtney and Rick returned their borrowed clothes.
Rick helped Beth stuff everything back into her suitcase and they finished just as Pat arrived.
"Hey guys, how was your night, good I hope?" he questioned.
"We had a really great time," Courtney confirmed. "Thanks for coming up with the idea, Beth."
"No problem, I always wanted to do something like this." the girl smiled.
"You guys ready to go?" Pat asked.
"Yeah, we're all set." Yolanda said.
Beth just nodded happily.
"Help me get everything in the back." the man directed.
Once everything was done, the girls began piling into the car.
"Rick, you coming?" Courtney asked.
"Oh, nah, I'm just going to walk home."
"You sure kid," Pat verified.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Aw, okay, talk to you later Rick," Beth came over and gave him a quick hug before retreating into the car.
Pat drove off and Rick waved goodbye to the girls.
The boy turned and made his way home. As he walked, he thought of his interactions with Beth. He couldn't explain the flutter in his stomach when he saw her excited, or how naturally comfortable he felt by her side.
One thing he did know though, was that Beth made him happy. They could do anything from sitting in silence at lunch, to fighting crime, to sleeping in a pillow fort.
One thing was certain, Beth Chapel was a wonder, and Rick was all there for it.
The End.
Okay, that was my second hournite fic, i hope you liked it. I'm super lazy so i didn't edit it, so if there are any errors please let me know. I'm not sure if anyone picked up on the reference I made when Rick said Kurt Kelly was and a-hole. For those who didn't know, Cameron Gellman played Kurt Kelly in a television adaptation of Heather. I just thought it was something funny to throw in there. If you have and comments or criticisms, let me know in the comments. I sound like a YouTuber, lol. I hope everyone has a great day and if anyone has any prompts they'd like to see, let me know. That's all for today💕💕
Sincerely, Tessa.

(I want Mikan to have wheelies to escape her feelies. If possible, could I talk to Aoi, Kiibo and Taka? Or, anyone that would be best.)
I've been feeling horrible about school, and my household. My mom keeps scolding me for random things and never asks if I'm okay. My days have been gradually getting worse and worse, and I feel like a terrible person because it's harder for me to keep promises and help my cousin who's going through a worse time than I am. I've been doing horrible in school and can't muster up the strength to do my missing assignments. I don't feel like I'm allowed to be sad either, as my family loves me and accepts me for who I am. I feel like they're all constantly judging me though and my brother is more important to them than I am.
Greetings, Anon. I’m really sorry to hear about what’s been going on with your mother recently, and school as well. It’s never a nice feeling to feel pressured, especially by parental figures, and life doesn’t exactly seem to be on your side either. You’re not a terrible person for not being able to handle it all at once. Willpower and strength aren’t always things that you’ll have at your disposal all the time, and that’s okay. You’re not built to handle so many things at once, and it’s alright to take a break every once in a while.
Tumblr media
Yes, I will wholeheartedly agree with Kiibo here. First of all, it’s definitely not okay of your very own mother to treat you such... unfairly here! Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding, those happen all the time, but then there’s everything else... It’s really amazing of you to try and help those around you, and you must be a great friend and cousin to have. But, you must take some time for yourself too. Especially when all of this is affecting your very own schoolwork! That’s not good, your academics should be one of your top priorities! Studying is a student’s duty after all... Of course, that doesn’t mean that your strength is invalid, just, please try and be cautious about your schoolwork.
Tumblr media
Wow Anon... I can actually sympathize with the second half of your ask quite well. I've been in a situation sort of similar to yours, and... I can understand the notion of seemingly feeling emotions for no reason.
The truth is, we're all sentient Anon. There's nothing much we can do, about the past or the present, or our current feelings. While like you, I have a support system at my household, I still feel guilty about a certain thing that happened years ago. It's simply how I feel about it, even if I know that what happened wasn't completely my fault, and that I don't remember about it myself in the first place.
Tumblr media
What I've learned is that it's okay to have these feelings, whatever the reason may be. They're completely natural, and part of what makes us... us. You just cannot allow them to completely overcome you, if that makes any sense. I allowed that to happen to myself initially and that... ended up causing more harm than good. I don't want you to break similarly, or break at all, really.
You're allowed to be sad, you're allowed to be stressed, and you're allowed to feel however you may feel right now. No matter what, your feelings are valid. What I did myself to deal with the guilt that I face, was actually confront my father about how I felt, asking for clarification about what happened. That talk alone caused a lot of relief for me, and if you speak to your own family members about your feeling of being judged by them, I believe you may experience the same feeling of comfort I felt.
Tumblr media
W-Wow! Kiibo stated his point quite well here actually! I'm quite impressed, but you're more than right Kiibo. Having a thorough talk about what you're feeling with any of your family members may clear up some assumptions Anonymous, and you all would probably get something great out of it! It's good to have a talk like that every once in a while anyways, talking is a great bonding activity after all!
Tumblr media
And listen, they're your family right? Well, family is supposed to be there for one another, through thick, thin, and otherwise. I'm more than sure that they'll be able to understand where you're coming from, and be more than welcome to help.
But it's not just your family you should be talking to, you should also probably speak to your teachers as well, especially if you're behind on assignments. More likely than not, they'll be understanding enough to give you an extension, based on my own experience. And if they don't, try your hardest to do your stuff alright? It's okay if you don't do your assignments on time though, what's more important is your own mental health and energy. 
Tumblr media
In conclusion Anon, you’re not a terrible person, nor are you doing anything wrong. In all honesty, I know you’re trying your hardest through all of this, and I should agree with Taka here. There are people who will be there for you, to both comfort you, and to make life easier. If you ever need to speak with us again, then we’re more than welcome to help you as well. Farewell Anon, I really hope that you start feeling better soon...
Tumblr media
Yeah, I earnestly hope myself that things turn out well in the end. You don’t seem like a terrible person at all by the way, so please, don’t worry about that. Listen, I’m proud of you for what you’re doing right now.  Try and get your strength back now, alright? You deserve it, and I am saying this with all honestly. Farewell Anonymous.

hey sumayyah! i saw your sign!! I'm writing the JJ & Emily parts of the really out of the blue and shitty mini-whatever it is 💀 and hopefully I'll figure out how to shorten it or something lmaoo
but i wanted to come here and talk for awhile i guess
it's like, 2am where i am right now and I'm just so drained mentally like idk i can't seem to focus on getting all my work done (school work) and i just submitted a fake corrupted file to pass off as my homework because i haven't been able to finish it (it's not graded or anything it's just 2 biology practice papers for revision for the upcoming exam but they're really long & biology is not my strong subject......)
like I'm 60-70% done on both papers and yeah i feel so bad for doing what i did and i am still planning on finishing those 2 papers (both as legitimate practice/revision & just in case my teachers do check and decide to ask me to resubmit/send them the file through another channel) and idk i obviously can't really talk to any one in school about this so i came here.... sorry for this bout of negativity i just feel so drained inside and it's not even the first time.... I'm on my break right now (mid years break) but my break is ending in roughly 4-5 more days? and I've felt unmotivated and horrible throughout the entire break idk :/ idk if this is just burn out or something else.... I've been planning on finding a therapist/professional to talk to? but 1. i can't exactly do it "openly" because i come from a rather conservative family and mental health issues (& sexuality etc) aren't things we talk about in my family.... and 2. I'm still a full-time student & I'm not sure of what services are available + the costs and all the other concerns? so like idk I'm not even sure where to start :(
and because I've been feeling like cr*p most of the time the last 3 weeks, I've done absolutely nothing & so i have TONS of school assignments piled up (those that were due during the break I've finished (somehow lmao) and submitted, but those that are due AFTER the break when school reopens.... i have completely not touched) & the worst thing is I'm not even entirely sure what's my entire workload.... so i definitely have to start seriously getting my work done from tomorrow (technically today) onwards.... but like i genuinely have a hard time focusing on work and I'm not sure if it's just my issues with procrastination or if i have a genuine illness or something and i don't want to self diagnose so I've been trying to not think about this but lately it's been so hard because i can't even finish my work on time and exams are coming and it's just really affecting me? and it's getting worse? i don't even have anyone i can truly talk to about this irl too and SKDJSKSNS idk 😭😭
i am SO SORRY for all the negativity!!!!! i just felt so alone and really had to vent somewhere i am so sorry, feel free to delete this ask if you're uncomfortable 🥺
i hope you're having a much better day/night and i love you ❤️ your blog (& cm Tumblr) is really giving me hope & keeping me alive, if i can put it that way 🥺♥️♥️ thank you for being you, and thank you for simply existing. I'm sorry things got so depressing all of a sudden lmao I'll be fine (eventually, probably)
- 🌙
I feel like my answer got long, so I put it under the cut :)
YAY!
Also, I did see this when you initially sent it, but I'm working on boundaries and priorities, which is why I didn't answer it then- I just needed a break <3
Look, you're learning during a pandemic that has disrupted everything and caused a lot of pain and stress. One corrupted file does not make you a bad student. You're still going to try.
There were so many days during lockdown where I just... didn't submit any work, and then I would submit it later saying the thing broke- which seemed believable because the thing we used never functioned properly.
And we cannot be happy or perfect all the time. Sometimes we need to share our problems. I have always said you can talk to me, it just may take me a few days depending on my own situation, and I stand by that.
Sometimes breaks just make us more miserable. Sometimes it is just genuinely a phase that you will snap out of. Sometimes it isn't. Either way, you need to let yourself feel this. Don't try and bury it. That'll be worse.
So when it comes to therapists, if you've been thinking of seeing one, go for it. Chances are, it'll help.
I get what you mean. I don't know what it's like where you are, but in England, everyone over 16 has control over the medical stuff. That basically means your parents cannot be told what you're doing, and you can do things without their knowledge. If I wanted to make an appointment, I wouldn't need to tell them I was making it, or what was discussed. Neither can the doctors.
I asked one of my friends (I have consent to share this), and she said that she went through the BetterHelp website, and that it's really helping her. Now I know BetterHelp had some real serious problems, so I would be cautious, but that is one option. Hers is between £50-£60 a session, but there were cheaper options.
You could also go through your school!! My school has what is called a "well-being practitioner" who you can just go and see when you're feeling down, and it all remains confidential UNLESS they think intervention is needed. So you could see if there are any sessions they do, or if there's any help you can get from them :)
I have seen SO, SO many teachers on TikTok recently say two things: ask them for help if you need it, and they will give it, and just do something. I don't know what you're teachers are like, but they're probably stressed and burnt out too. If you need an extension or a break or help, they'll do their best.
And if you can't do everything, then just do one thing. Do your favourite subject, or the easiest thing. I know people say do the hardest thing first because then everything gets easier, but the one time I did that, I started crying and I gave up for a good three days so...
If you've done extensive research, then maybe it is something, and if you think that there is that, then you should try and get tested <3 and it's okay if there really is nothing. Sometimes brains are weird
You don't ever have to apologise for being human <3 Remember how I mentioned crying for twenty minutes to my history teacher? I said the same thing to him: that I feel bad talking about these things because everyone has their own problems. His response was: well yes, but there are so many people that want to help you. And they would tell you if you were being a burden.
You need to trust that. And it's hard. It's painful. It's difficult. But I promise you, telling someone will always be better than bottling it up- and this comes from the person that was pissed for six weeks because I got a phone call home from someone higher up because previously mentioned history teacher told them that I was not doing great
I love you too!!
And sometimes life gets you down! That's okay! Things will get better! Maybe this isn't healthy, but my thing is: things will work out, and things will get better because they need to, and I refuse to believe I am living a life where they won't.
You will be fine! I have every faith in you!!

I'll be a bit absent from asks this weekend because today is valentine's day and sunday is my birthday. I'll opt for shitting out random things that aren't requested until I'm completely free again.
~Valentines Day~
Au: Kaishi
Part: five
Theme: Fluff
Tumblr media
"Please sign this." Kaishi held the paper up with his tiny little hands. You smiled and gently grabbed it from him. He watched and waited patiently as you read the paper. "Awwwww baby! My little baby!" You reached down and hugged him closely. He tried to push you away, but he was unsuccessful with what little strength he had. "Mommy/dad please. You're going to crush me to death!" With all the commotion, Kai paused his show and entered the kitchen to see what was up. "Now what exactly are you two in here gushing about, hmm?" Kai pulled out a chair from the table and sat next to you. You excitedly passed him the paper and pulled Kaishi into you lap to cuddle him.
"Valentines day party? Parent teacher...child. Absolutely not." Kai placed the paper on the table. Before you could reply, Kaishi spoke up instead. "No daddy, I need to go even if you don't show up! It's really super duper important that I go. I need supplies too! I have to make something." Kaishi grabbed the paper and passed it back to you. You smiled and signed the slip so he could return it at school later this morning when he goes.
Chrono and Nemouto went to drop him off, leaving you and Kai alone. "Angel, you know I don't want to be around all of those other people. 80% of them have quirks, so they're absolutely diseased. The rest of them know we're affiliated with the Yakuza. With their outdated thinking, despite the yakuza donations to multiple charities lately, they'll reject and discriminate against us. Besides, why do we need to bring food? It's not like we'll eat the nasty stuff they bring to the party, so why should we contribute?" Kai raised his eyebrow and waited for you to stop laughing and give him an answer.
"Oh, you complain too much! Stop overthinking things. Its Kaishi's first valentines day party so of course I want to be there to take pictures and meet with the other parents for once. Plus, most of that stuff is store bought and fresh so stop panicking. Y'know I'll just go by myself and you can stick behind if you want."
"...No."
"No? Then cut out all that complaining you mess, and come with me to the store while you're at it. Let's get everything on our sons scribbled supply list." You giggled as you showed him the list written in crayon, scattered with misspelled words. "Fine then. I suppose we should go get the food that was on our assigned list by the school, and a box of valentines cards apparently." Kai sighed and slipped his shoes on. It wasn't too long that you tell came back, and Kaishi arrived from school maybe a few hours later. He happily took the supplies and went to his room, abandoning you two with the box of valentines cards with lollipops. "That monster stuck us with the grunt work. Geez..." Kai sighed and looked at the list to start filling out the cards. Between the two of you, it didn't take long to fill out all the cards with the classmates names, and stick the lollipops in each card. By now, you guys had to check on Kaishi.
"Oh my..." You smiled widely as you watched him work. He was so concentrated, his tiny brows furrowing, his little tongue poking out, his scribbling on the back of the glued mess. "What on Earth did you ask us to get the supplies for? What is all of this? And get off the ground Kaishi, it's absolutely dirty. Go sit at the desk we got for you." Kai directed him. Kaishi ignored him and quickly stood to his feet, revealing his finished product. "Tada! It's a special valentines for...well I mean." Kaishi giggled shyly and looked at his feet. "Aww, does my baby have a crush! My goodness!!! Please tell me about them! Boy or girl? What do they look like?" You rushed to sit on his small bed and watched him climb up to sit next to you. Kai sighed and went to sit on the other side, sandwiching Kaishi between you too. "Her name is Ishida but I call her Ishi for short. She doesn't know that though. She's the only one that thinks the yakuza are cool, but everyone else is scared of me. Ishi isn't scared. She's gonna be my wife one day." Kaishi beamed excitedly, making Kai choke on his air. "Wife? It's way too early for that brat!"
Eventually you helped him clean up the aftermath of his project. Then you and Kai settled for bed. You slept peacefully but it took him an extra hour to settle down. He had to gather himself before leaving tomorrow. Even when you guys made it to the party, he couldn't help but to be a little rough. He was passive aggressive with parents, petty and throwing more shade than a palm tree in Florida. You managed to make friends with the parents that wanted to talk to you two. You also managed to video record the class of children scattering around to place valentines in all their classmates assigned boxes that sat on each desk. Kaishi rapidly handed his cards out but when it came to the last one, he gently placed it next to Ishida's box. Then he scattered to sit back at his desk. The rest of the party carried on and nothing more significant happened than the moment Ishida went to hug Kaishi and thank him for the card. "It's my favorite, my yakuza husband! Thank you!!!" You smiled at the sweet interaction but Kai was cringing. Husband and wife? Way too young for all of that! Plus, this girl was hugging his son...all those germs!? He's definitely getting a bath when they get back home.
When you two got into the car, Kaishi hugged a single valentine close to his chest. It was the one that Ishida put in his box. "Daddy, Mommy/dad? Throw away all the other cards. I don't want them. Those infected people don't matter anymore. The only thing that matters is Ishida."

While Han, Roman, Riley And Giselle Go After The Guy Who Designed The Engines For The Flippers In Which Giselle And Riley Decide To Add A Woman's Touch To The Situation...

(Watch Whole Video)
But While All That Went On Brian Traced The Bullet Letty Shot Dom With To A Pawn Shop...
Tumblr media
Not That Pawn Shop!
Anyway, They Head There To Try To Get Clues About Letty By Talking With The Owner And It Turns Out That A Street Racer That Matches Letty's Description Came In Here To Buy Everything He Had (Guns, Ammo, The Works) But Unfortunately He Doesn't Know Where She Lives...
Returning To Shaw's Hideout, Letty Tells Him That One Of Their Men Is Dead And He Doesn't Care, Stating That He Made A Mistake And He Paid The Price For It..
Wow, Great Philosophy On Death, Pal...
With Giselle And The Others Returning To HQ, We Learn That The CCTV Footage Came Back To Reveal Nothing As Anywhere Shaw And His Guys Are The Cameras Are Out, This Leads Riley And Hobbs To Head Out To Investigate While Giselle Breaks The News Of Braga's Involvement With Shaw To Dom And Brian...
With Both Of Them In Shock At This Discovery, They Realize It's Impossible, But When Coded Payment Transactions To Braga's Cartel Is Discovered They Realize It's True...
Only Problem Now Is That In Order To Get To Braga, One Of Them Has To Go To Jail To Talk To Him, This Leads Brian To Put His Foot Forward Because He Feels Guilty For Getting Letty Involved With Braga's Organization And He Wants To Make It Right...
While Hobbs And Riley Deal With CCTV Which Was Again Offline Of The Robbery, Brian Goes To LA To Meet With His Old FBI Nemesis, Stasiak, Who's Only Helping Him To Get Credit For Taking Down Shaw...

Anyway, Stasiak Tells Brian That He's Going Into Victorville To Go After Braga For A 24 Hour Hold After That He Has To Be Out By 9 AM Which Is When Forensics Will Run His Fingerprints Into The National Database Which Will Blow His Cover To The Point That Stasiak Will Not Be Able To Get Him Out...
Telling Brian That Braga Is In D Level Which Is Solitary, Brian Is Going To Have To Do Something To Gain His Attention Which Leads Him To Break Stasiak's Nose Again!...
Back In London, Tej Hooks Up His Connection To Every CCTV Camera In The City To Their Main Computer To The Point If Shaw Even Makes A Move, They'll Know About It, Leads Us To Wacky Hijinks With Roman, As He Checks Out Tej's Latest Weapon, A High Tensile Titanium Cable Launcher Which He Nearly Kills Dom With...
Tumblr media
But After That, Dom Hears From Han That A Street Race Going On That Night...
But As That's Going On, Braga Visits Brian's Cell That Night With 2 Other Guys Who Are There To Kill Him...
You Know What Would Have Made This Scene A Little Bit More Interesting? How About Instead Of Just 2 Other Guys Braga Had Carter Verone And Johnny Tran's Brother, Lance With Him To Get Revenge For What Brian Did To Them, Plus It Would Have Shown More Of What Happened To These Characters After Brian Arrested Them....

(Start At 0:55)
So, With Brian On His Way To The U.K., Dom Goes To The Street Race That Han Told Him About And Wouldn't You Know It? Letty's There, So He Decides To Race Her...

(Start At 1:38)
Pulling Over To Talk, Letty Tells Dom That He May Know How She Races But That Doesn't Mean That He Knows Her As A Person To Which Dom Recites A Saying He Knows "Show Me How You Drive, And I'll Show You Who You Are"...
Asking What He Knows About Her, Dom Tells Her Some Stories About Some Scars She Has On Her Body...
Uh, Dom, No Offense, But On The List Of Things I Would Talk About With An Amnesiac Person, Scars Would Not Be On The Top Of My List...
Including One, She Got From Her First Street Race Where She Raced Against Some Kid (Who Happened To Be Dom) Who Tried Showing Off, Only To Lose Control Of His Car, Sideswiping Right Into Her To The Point She Could've Lost Her Arm...
Wow, A Love Story For The Ages...
But Despite Telling Her This, Letty Tells Dom He's Over His Head And That She's Not The Girl That He Remembers But Dom Doesn't Believe That Because Of What He Just Saw...

Returning To His HQ, Shaw Notices Letty's Necklace Which Leads Him To Question Her Loyalty...
Working With Tej, Hobbs And Riley Are Able To Find Shaw's Location, But When They Arrive Its Completely Empty, However, They Do Find Paint In The Building Which Tej Analyzes To Be Highly Specialized Anti-Thermal IR Coating For The Military To Which Tej Gives Hobbs And Riley A List Of Bases That Uses It And Cross References With Shaw's Military Targets And Surprise, It's A NATO Base In Spain...
So, With An 8 Hour Lead Ahead Of Them, Hobbs And Riley Decide To Drive Ahead To The Base To Lock It Down...
With Brian Returning From LA, They Fill Him In On Shaw Before Brian Goes To Talk To Dom Where He Admits That The Entire Thing Was His Fault But Dom That The Past Is The Past And What They're Doing Now Is For Her...
With The Base Locked Down, Riley Finds One Of Shaw's Men, Which Forces Hobbs To Take Extreme Precautions By Deciding To Move The Component Out Of The Base
Hearing From Tej That Hobbs Caught One Of Snow's Men, Brian Starts Thinking Something Not Right As He Tells The Team What Braga Told Him Which Immediately Makes Dom Realize That Shaw's Not Going After The Base But The Convoy...
With Their Thoughts Being Dead On, Dom And The Others Arrive As Shaw, Letty And His Crew Are Taking The Convoy But Unfortunately They Have A Bigger Problem...
youtube
(Start At 2:03, End At 4:22)
Going After The Tank, Shaw Starts Crushing Cars Which Gets Letty To Start Having Second Thoughts As It Wasn't Part Of The Plan, And Unfortunately One Of Those Crushed Cars Is Roman's But Luckily He Jumps Into Brian's Car In The Last Minute, But Shaw's Going To Wish He Didn't Crush Roman's Car As It's Now Dragging Behind Him...
Which Gives Dom And His Team An Opportunity To Use It Like An Anchor, Realizing He May Have A Problem Shaw Sends Letty To Cut The Car But Managing To Get The Car Hooked, The Tank Abruptly Stops, Causing Letty To Go Flying, Realizing She's In Danger Dom Decides To Jump After Her To Save Her...
I Don't Know Maybe Vin Diesel's Role In The Iron Giant Went To His Head...
Tumblr media
Either That Or Dom's Seen Titanic Too Many Times...
Tumblr media
But Either Way Letty Is Saved, The Tank Is Stopped, Shaw Is Arrested And They Have The Chip...
Returning To The Base, The General Wants Letty Arrested But Dom And The Others Stand By Her Saying She's One Of Them. After The General Leaves, Brian Tells Letty How She Lost Her Memory And If Anyone's To Blame For It, It's Him, But Letty Simply Tells Him That While She May Not Remember Anything She Knows One Thing, Nobody Makes Her Do Anything She Doesn't Want To Do...
Talking With Dom Shortly After, Letty Asks Dom If He Knew That When He Jumped To Save Her That There Would Be A Car There To Break Their Fall, And The Truth Is He Didn't, It Was Just A Leap Of Faith...
With Riley And Hobbs Entering With Shaw, Hobbs Tells Him That Shaw Has Something To Say To Him...

Sending Some Of His Henchmen After The Others To Keep Them From Hitting The Wing Flaps To Lower The Plane While Brian Gets Mia Off The Plane While Hobbs And Dom Deals With Shaw And His Henchmen And Letty Deals With Riley...
youtube
(End At 6:42)
(Sarcastically) Oh, No! They Can't Kill Dom, The Franchise Will Be Dead Without Him...
Is He...?
He's Alive!
So, With Giselle Dead (Only For Her Spirit To Be Reborn On Themyscira So She Can Become Wonder Woman) Dom Gives Hobbs The Chip Which Leads Hobbs To Ask Dom To Name His Price To Which Dom Answers 1327, Which To Them Is Home...
So, With Their Lives Back To Normal, Home And All, Han Decides To Go To Tokyo Saying It's Something He Has To Do And As Hobbs Delivers Their Pardons To Them, Neves Decides To Step Aside, Simply Saying To Dom That He Has His World And She Has Hers. Asking Letty If Anything Looks Familiar? She Says No, But It Feels Like Home...
I Would Say That That Wraps The Film Up But We Get A Mid-Credits Scene That Ties The 3rd Film, Tokyo Drift To The Next Movie, Furious 7, We See Han Trying To Get Away From The Bad Guy Of The 3rd Film, DK, Only To Be Hit By An Unknown Driver Who Is Revealed Here As Deckard Shaw (Played By Jason Statham) Who Is The Brother Of Owen Shaw From This Film Who Leaves Letty's Necklace Behind At The Crime Scene While Leaving A Message For Dom On His Phone While He Walks Away From The Crime Scene, Telling Dom That He Doesn't Know Who He Is, But He Will...
And That's Furious 6 And It Was A Good Film...
The Story Was Good, The Characters Were Good, The Villain Was Way Better Than The Villain In The Last Movie I Mean At Least This One Tried To Be Both A Threat And A Person That Shouldn't Be Messed With Where With Reyes You Got None Of That Really Also, I Loved The Location With London And I Would Love The Film Series To Do More Stuff In The United Kingdom (Maybe In The French Riviera) And After That I Don't Know What Else To Say About This Film Except See It..,
Till Next Time, This Is Duke, Signing Off..

I'm so happy to hear the kids abducted to Hong Kong got to hear and see and talk to their hero that saved them today through Zoom in Brian's phone!!!
It was so lucky and such perfect timing that he called me today while the military crews were still resting in China and Wendy was able to pinpoint their locations directly!!
He truly is their Hero and we are so lucky!
I have dreamed about him for years and for years have been waking up from nightmares telling Brian McGruff is a bad dog... But always the dream would be gone when i woke up or it was before it started happening and no one knew
I even had a feeling when I ordered the kits... So I'm not sure how these kids feel through the cracks because they were on my soul to save.
I also didn't know know about human trafficking like I do now, so I think the whole "Sabrina you just have a bad feeling because it reminds you what could happen..." Is how
A few other companies, too... I had a whole list. So Thorn is gonna check that out.
It just takes one person to prove a mood. I had a list of 17 companies that day then 26 more over the next week that I had this nag on while I was "picking on" Crime the McGruff Dog
Since I kept saying it that way in 2016 and I never ever messed up his name before they took down a list of companies associated with him according to my feelings and it was an unusual list.
So this man has likely saved nearly 30 times as many children as he could have hoped.
We will soon find out. In return he's to receive a mansion an economically stable brand new automobile. Fully paid.
Because I've dreamed of him, his voice and everything. He truly is an Earth Angel.
For nearly half a decade he's been the solution to my night terrors. I know why ask those children cried. I want to cry, too, And my tears are warm.
The children were mutated and mutilated. Arms cut off and sewn onto their foreheads and given all sorts of horrible viruses and drugs.
Tree just gave them their own fresh bodies. Replicas. Some back to the age/look they were kidnapped at, some slightly grown, according to the agreement between child and parent whichever they liked the sound of best, the child's preference being the ultimate decision maker. Their DNA4U will state and show they are replicated due to the reasons of faster healing and less overall damage that would cause future problems plus they got upgrades like bullet proofing, extra speed, strength increases, stuff like that. And extra extra heavy COVID19 instead of 3 feet you'll get it at 10 feet bad enough to kill you nearly instantly.
But they were horribly mistreated, starving, mental and physical torture, so much.
So I know to talk to the one rare person in the World that could save them and did was certainly very good heart and soul medicine.
So I'm glad he called me again and I didn't answer and Brian called back from the plane.
Yes of course. He flew to Enid then China then Hong Kong... You can make a man retire but you can't ever make a man quit. And I'm glad. Just so those kids could talk to their hero.
So lucky. Of all the hundreds of people working there he's been there only 6 months. And he took that initiative to just check...
Today living kids was 443.
Dead was 198,675 which tree ghosted back to life. (Gave new bodies)
Nearly a quarter of a million children.
Times 3 is 600k then add a zero. Looking at maybe 6 million kids and young adults...
Tree estimates 400M
So a huge round of applause and a right tight hug.
And he deserves amazing amounts of pats on the back because that list would just sat around keeping dusty.
This is that old fashioned detective work like sitting at a gas meter while some one is down trying to find out how to save people (aliens included) from dying in a gas chamber and they're up there making sure that gas isn't turned on to kill the girl doing all the work -- he couldn't hear people downstairs through the street and i could get the truth out easier and faster before they even knew and I was always happy to get the news while he was just mad and angry. So i was the better to go. Cause everyone was always happy to see me. Cause I was always super nice and all interested in what they were doing.
Now unfortunately not so much.
But Charles was starting to get nightmares after my list and had came up with 14 more companies from coming from the same way i had came up with my list... So he talked to some the other people that felt creeped out about the assignment I insisted on doing and they also all added each two and then some kept a private list... Which they slowly added after verifying the company was then clean.. It started in 2013 these bad dreams.
So every time it happened or they started their nightmares they added to the list.
Overall 642 companies we dreamed of or felt or somehow had a psychic connection to. I dreamed of kids and old people and women. Some people only dreamed about men. Some just kids.
The companies we have left is 642 to check out as they hadn't had yet done any bad and no dreams or any thing has came up since...
Which isn't happy, we now know, but good news is whatever bad has happened we can fix is super special and magical ways.
So we have Thorn, CIA, Military, some FBI and some others to check what's been going on and see.
So that's about 8 Trillion that have been affected. But at least 6 Trillion have already been retrieved.
So this one single person has done the miraculous. The biggest miracle we have been waiting for on a personal level. For me its been 7 years but 6 since 9 other people started having their dreams affected and the lists began.
So 10 of us with nightmares. Night terrors. Waking up screaming or shaking or scared. And not knowing why but having a name, a company label. Sometimes or often a place on a map... As close to the actual GPS coordinates of longitude and latitude. Wake up listing numbers for no reason. Numbers that make no sense N 316941027865389421. Over and over.
Brian would look at me "what the fuck are you trying to do Morse code?"
"I'm trying to sleep thank you very much. Alan and Naomi. 38652361 I think you just messed me up"
One person. One person can make a difference. That's all it takes. One person.
One person to make sense of all these nightmares.
We don't need to be saved from them... They didn't bother so much... We could wake up. Be safe in our beds. Joke it out.
But there's people. Innocent children. Innocent adults that wake up into real living nightmares every single day.
And one person today made the phone call to make thst difference to about 200,000 kids and over 400,000 parents. And siblings and grandparents. Friends.
Just today he changed the world for at least a million whom now have a missing child come home.
Made one million hearts smile and backs release tension and sorrow.
And now we're looking at 2 trillion lost people. Who have kids. Who have parents. Grandparents. Friends.
Were gonna have at least 6 trillion hearts heal then there's soulmates so that's gonna be 12 trillion
Due to one phone call. That was all I needed.
I had heard him say he couldn't find his soulmate... And he didn't go trying to save her or find her today
He knew it was just kids.
But he knew it was missing kids because the people getting ID kits were told not to call the police only call the dog. He could see clearly kids were being abducted and they had a rating system on "easy to kidnap to hard" and the easy were always reported within weeks.
He knew it was his civil duty to call and report it somehow... But he didn't know to who or how.. Who would take it seriously.
This crazy lady might...
Im very sensitive to red flags. He didn't even have to explain. I was already on it in less than 2 minutes.
So the world is so lucky to have him and the kids today so lucky to be in Hong Kong when we just busted 600k China's citizens home.
I mean you can't get more miraculous than that!!
You would think...
But leave it to the true McGruff the Crime Dog to make sure it did.
Because it did.
Tree will update us later how extremely far this miracle went
From one person hoping and praying and taking that leap of faith.... After 10 following their true instincts and intuition.
Intuition is so important you guys. If you hadn't understood why i hope now you finally get it.
Last night I trusted mine and we pulled 13 million from slavery. That's 26 million directly affected with soulmate syndrome. Then parents that makes it times two. So 52 million then grandparents and kids...
Then one person trusted his. And kaboom an estimated 12 Trillion frowns are gonna turn upside down.
Then we are getting these bad guys off the streets, out of their homes, immediately. Hopefully they're checked thoroughly and then killed. I'm done with this baby sitting shit. Back to good ole South Texas and manual strangulation in vans after being kidnapped...but now technology has made it so much different. Much simpler to catch someone in the act. And fuck this court system, it's WWIII. Its military. We will find them guilty without a reasonable doubt and simply kill them.
There is no fucking reason over 18 million people were kidnapped in late 2019 (after October) or in any fucking time in 2020.
What is the point of a trial? Those people whom went to jail in 1990 for 20 years for kidnapping are doing it again. I sent 700 to jail. 36 are actively kidnapping. 642 are financially benefiting. The remaining are probably dead. 12 people.
Tree says i make him laugh. They are dead.
So out of 700 they're dead or kidnapping or in the human trafficking market.
So, there is No change and no Rehabilitation. There is PROOF.
So human trafficking ass holes y'all can thank those 688. Because now you're all just gonna fucking die.
What are you gonna do to me? Not a dam thing. That's what. So think about bull shit. Cry about your stupid life. I don't care.
But I'm taking all your money to pay the victims and im killing you, human traffickers.
And you ain't doing shit about it.
And those about to be trying to hurt someone to retaliate. I already put alerts on you.
So when you're pushed out a plane in the middle of no where so wild animals can eat you... Well don't complain to me. Animals need to eat, too
And surviving good humans. Don't worry... When the bodies hit the ground. They pretty much explode so they're just ground meat basically and bones crush and they wre just big piles of food. They don't look human
So some bear isnt going to come out the mountains and be all "man I just ate something that looked like you and was mighty tastey!" The bodies are unrecognizable.
If you're curious... Idk if you still can.. We used to can look up bodies that had been tossed or jumped out of Windows. Back in 2000 I found a website and I would go through and examine them and see which were pushed and which had jumped
I could tell the difference. Anyway if they're in Google you'll see they don't look human. They're pretty gross -- some do -- so ew be careful but from the plane height trust me they do not.
And its very careful with software to show no damage to trees or animals will occur.. And the software is very intelligent and cautious and only certain types of people can access it. Like a kidnapper can't turn on the computer and see where and how. But a Clark Kent or Louis Lane or someone can. But if an evil Donald Trump sits down next to, the software will shut down. Immediately. And lock out any user until hes removed.
I'm not fucking dumb. Sometimes I just don't know what to do and Need an Earth Angel to make one phone call
Or a guilty person to confess. Or a clue. A bad dream. A nightmare in my sleep. Or being in the right place at the right time. Like when the kidnappers gas up at night at the gas station.
Otherwise I'm fucking brilliant. Overprotective and caring.
So any one tries to dump innocent people out of planes, the door simply will not open. Magic it is called. Its already happened. And it will not happen again.
Anyway for all the 007 Peirces that can stab so hard it hurts and heals at the same time.
This one is for you.
Thank you!
Lets really bust a move on that intuition. Its a life saver.
Man we are so so so so so so lucky today!!!
I couldn't be more thank ful!!
All of our military and cops that are ready and qualified and remember how to rescue from bunkers.
We need y'all. Don't forget to stay safe and well.
And our essientals and just our stay homers.
And beach goers.

I'm being honest and I'm not talking shit about him or any administration
I'm talking shit about people
This happens all the time. In elementary schools I shit you Not it happened in a 5th grade class room at La Promosa when I was substituting.
Fights and arguments were more common in high schools
In the middle school in 2016 the first month of classes there was 338 fights before classes started. And teachers trying to break it up got hit.
Im not kidding you. I don't live in the ghetto. I live ina community where they pride themselves on being the best and one of the most upper in all ways of the entire state. Where the government and schools work hard for this. They have won all kinds of awards that had absolutely nothing to do with me
I don't do that kind of system. As you see i do equality for police i do earning by deserving by showing workmanship.
But i don't do favor awards because of where i live. I was against Facebook coming to Los Lunas because we don't have a good traffic system. We have extra bad rush hour traffic that can take 3 hours to go 2 miles. So i was against Facebook coming and causing more traffic through town.
But they came and that had absolutely nothing to do with me. No shame. I don't work in the government. And they're only using solar electricity. So im not gonna bitch about it. It is good for the jobs and so on.
I'm just saying i was against it.
Because the point no matter how hard we try for our community or our schools
There's people that will fight for no reason.
So Mayor Bill while you find it painful, you may be saving some people some pain. Children being bullied. Fights such as these being hidden in school bathrooms. And so much more.
Schools were initially designed to be a safe place
But they aren't any more.
So i just wanted to explain that to all of you.
Seriously the middle school in 2016 had in the 2016 to 2017 school year, 74225 fights/arguments of high intensity that caused disruption in the hearts.
My primary school before i became unable to walk was the middle school. But it was heartbreaking.
What I saw was children coming from a home environment with one teacher and a playground.
Now our elementary schools do a block to prepare them for middle school because the change is so disruptive. So starting in 4th to 6th they change classes for certain subjects. But its only about 4 teachers per grade. So and if one is sick or has a sub or something or the teachers decide they don't want to for special projects they stay in their regular class.
Every thing else they had their whole life. Music and art and PE teachers.
Then thrown into 7 different teachers. No play ground. No desks to keep their things. No lockers. Every one new including the school grounds. They have to carry all their stuff all day in book bags.
It is the most inhumane treatment in the world.
And to make matters worse it's when they go through puberty.
I went to that school over all the schools in the district because i knew they needed me. Because they broke my heart. Because they had a constant cloud of darkness over their school.
Because they were in Hell.
Things were so used to. Things we survived. That we dont have the time to take to realize how much trouble the future of our children are in.
Just the way the school system is organized. Elementary. Middle/Intermediate/Jr High. High school.
I saw memes about zombies wanted in this WWIII
Look into the eyes of a child in Jr high. You'll see the walking dead.
I'm not kidding yoh. They tore my soul apart and broke my heart.
Every day i had to go Just to be there. Just to absorb the air. To make it cleaner for another day for them.
Turn out one set of lights. Open the blinds for the sun to come in. Do what i could to allow their brains to receive oxygen
And not neon fluorescent tube light's radiation.
Let their lungs expand and breathe so they could learn.
That is just is a basic.
It didn't help long term. Just a basic band aid.
Then allow them a voice. Allow them to speak on their own.
So, my choice to pay governments to shut down schools of 5 Billion dollars NYC will get...
It is for a reason.
My choice to have children at home worldwide
Is because i saw the suicidal desire in children's eyes. Because just of the change of the ways school systems are established.
Those children need to be home to recover.
They need more help than you will ever know.
They need more hugs and love and home cooked suppers and Happy Meals than you can imagine.
I care about those kids. I care about their parents and guardians. I care if they're homeless and on their own.
I worked plenty of special ed as well as regular education. Special ed was my favorite because they tried to blow through that black cloud every day and they also did it for the people around them
While they're termed stupid and dumb because of their lack of reading or math ability, most are the strongest of all the schools to bring light into the lives of others.
I remember this girl. She looked so dead inside. She walked up to me slow and in pain. "Idk what to do today I can't concentrate. I just don't feel right"
I looked around the room..
"Do you need the nurse?"
"No"
"Well I think you're not going to be okay take your things and go sit over my John. So I don't have to keep yelling at him for talking. Tell him I said to talk to you. He's the kid in the back from here against the wall three seats or rows back however you call them"
At that time i didn't know he was in reading special ed. I had not done his class period yet.
But i felt the most positive energy coming from his area of the room and he looked like the leader of that zone. I worried it was a mistake. That he could lead her astray.
I saw the darkness deepen "i said for her to go over there" the cloud prevented their brains from hearing and processing "HEY! YOU WANNA TALK? TALK TO HER! BECAUSE I SAID OR ILL SEND YOU TO THE PRINCIPAL. OR HEY COME HERE AND ILL EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU"
So he came up "what? Im trying to be good. And she told me i had to talk to her"
"Am i here every day? No I'm not. There's something wrong with her. Its probably something at home that has nothing to do with you. Or maybe her and her friends got into a fight. Whatever. But what i do know is you like being the center of attention and talking a lot. So what i need you to do is talk to her. Not solely but include her in your group. Can you look st her please? Tell me what you see."
"Like she wants to die or some one to take her out and shoot her in the street"
My tears prevented me from saying more "then i think you know how to handle her without doing that. Do you play a lot of video games?"
"I used to. But my mom and dad kept taking it away for me being bad in school. I have it now though i just haven't played in years"
"Well i tell you, John, i think you should start playing more as a reward from me for helping her. And you should tell your parents you're doing well socially. And she should change her seat"
"What do you think has happened to her? Something bad or...?"
"I think she's just alone. Maybe just this class or. What this is right after lunch? She may just being of a social anxiety for leaving her friends from the cafeteria"
His eyes light up "I've been in special ed all my life!! I know exactly what that is!! I can help!! Thank you Miss Teach!!"
I never saw that girl again. She ceased to exist. That class never existed again. It transformed completely into a smiling sunny happy class room. It didn't matter if all the lights were off.
Each and every single child in that room shone with brightness...
It wasn't over night. It took Team Work.
But they worked it. And it worked.
Im not talking shit about the teachers. The teacher gave them work i didn't need to teach. Just work they already knew how. Which gave me the opportunity to look and view the students in a way she didn't have the time or freedom of mind to. A lot of time she just gave them a "catch up day" catch up on old assignments and homework they hadn't turned in. She gave them one every 2 weeks so she didn't have to fail them. So she just added one in or switched it from the regular day. And she had extra credit worksheets for them to do when they finished.
So no matter what you do. There's always gonna be a problem.
Our problem for Quarentine is Essiential workers. They can't stay home. They can't give nor receive the special attention their family and friends deserve.
This is why worldwide people are saluting and applauding and thanking and doing charity for them.
This is why we set aside special vacations and money for them and their families.
Yes you, too, my store workers. Including Wal-Mart. I got shamed yesterday by one of my stout workers i always see in Wal-Mart that goes the extra mile. "What about us. Ain't no one said shit especially you"
He didn't say the word shit but... You know what i mean. It's what i heard.
Which is funny cause the last time i saw him he was stocking toilet paper.
So understand why shutting down the schools is so essiential. Why communities are being paid so much. No community school district is being paid less than $6 million to shut down for the school year.
I want you to understand why.
Because its out of control. Its dangerous. And it is damaging our humans and aliens. And it is damaging our future on Earth to be successful.
So you stressed out moms.. Chill the fuck out.
Please. Please for the love of God.
Assualt your child with a hug. Just grab them and say "i didn't know. I'm here for all those moments you felt alone. Just come and find me and ask to do something together"
Assault them with love.
This is World War 3 people. Get into action!!!
