This is yet another sneak peek for the "April retakes her boards" fic. Which I'm hoping to have the first part up this week. TW: Sexual harassment...

“Okay, Mr. Locke, I’m going to undo your gown so I can check your recovery. It’ll only be a couple of minutes.”
Chad smirks. “You’ll take any excuse to see my abs, won’t you?”
April forces the smile to remain on her face. “I’m just checking the incision site. I’m going to lower your gown.”
She pulls on some gloves and checks the site. Chad’s cocky grin remains. April focuses on the wound.
“It seems to be healing up nicely.”
“Will it leave a scar?”
“Likely a smaller one. But,” April pulls away and snaps off her gloves to throw them out. “I’d say that’s a small price to pay for getting a hernia out of your chest.”
Chad moves his gaze into a small pout, batting his eyelashes. “April…”
“Dr. Hunt,” she quickly interrupts.
“Dr. Hunt. Would you sleep with someone with a scar like that?”
April scoffs. “That’s not appropriate, Mr. Locke.”
“I’m just asking your opinion. Someone as beautiful as you must have standards.”

Seven Sentence Sunday
Thank you for the tag, @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @carlos-in-glasses 💝
This is from the upcoming two chapters of my TK and Sophie fic- the second part-
2011
Sophie blinked her eyes, trying to clear the tears. She was not going to cry. She was handling this.
Her brother’s eyes fluttered open and closed on the gurney in front of her.
She had just learned that word — gurney.
The thing that looks like an ironing board with wheels attached.
She hadn’t known what that was called before.
She had never been in an ambulance before.
TK closed his eyes. Sophie squeezed his hand when they didn’t open back up right away. She didn’t exhale until she felt him squeeze her hand back.
“He’s lucky,” Emma, the paramedic who had [redacted]said. “He has a caring sister who knew what to do”.
Sophie just nodded. She was not going to cry.
“Sophie,” Tanya, paramedic who hooked up the IV, said, “is there someone we can call?”
Sophie sniffled. Not crying. “Can—can you call our mom, please?”

remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals

Can we please make "I'm depressed" a valid reason to out-of-the-blue fall off the face of the earth?
I'm not busy.
I'm not tired.
My plate isn't full.
I'm not swamped with work.
I don't have a cold or flu.
I'm not laying awake at night. (But I am sleepy throughout the day.)
Nothing tragic or traumatic has happened.
I nor anyone I know or work with is going through anything.
You didn't do or say anything wrong.
But I'm not sad, either. I'm not homesick or in mourning. I'm not angry at anyone or anything.
Nothing is wrong...
I just woke up and suddenly being alive sucked, eating became a dumb idea and nothing mattered. I canceled training for the next two weeks, making up a lie, saying I'd be out of town on business.
And I have no other explanation for that, but I don't [can't] say anything because the word "depression" might as well be "itchy" to some people.
"Here, have a mango. You like mangos, right? This should cheer you up!" But I'm not sad.
"Just think happy things!" But I'm not sad.
"Did something happen? You know you can always talk to me!" About what? I'm not sad.
It'll go away just as it came: on its own.
How long it'll stay in my system this time is anyone's guess.

But him giving her permission to take a rest, like you’ve earned the rest — oof, that really, really got me. That idea of you’re so strong… [she trails off] sorry, I get emotional thinking about it… but for someone to tell her, “You lived a great life and you were an incredible mother and you had all of this tragedy befall you, and you still made such a beautiful thing of all of it. And now you’re allowed to rest. I think just getting that [she starts to cry] permission from someone that she didn’t even know very well, but loved so much and held in such high regard really just went such a long way. And that, oof, that got me. Still gets me, obviously.

No, Jack Pearson did not die because he went back for the dog. Technically, it was a heart attack brought on by smoke inhalation.
One he would not have had if he hadn't bopped around the house grabbing all the important photos and documents.
I get they needed to explain why they still had childhood photos and videos, but it just pisses me off so much. They could've just said they managed to salvage them somehow or there weren't that many.
It's similar to Derek and Amelia's dad. You have 5 kids. 2 are in the back of the shop. If the robber wants your watch, you give him the damn watch.
Two of the most infuriating, avoidable deaths in TV history.
Dumbass 1 & Dumbass 2. Sure, their kids have childhood photos and a watch...
But they don't have their dad.
