Choosing the right tool for the job is often harder than it seems. Even something simple, like driving a nail, is made more complicated when you consider the variables of nail type, material, room, and whether you should just be using screws instead. To make matters worse, you often need life experience – to pick the right thing, you need to know what will happen before you use the tool.
That means you need to make a lot of mistakes. Making those mistakes is expensive, and time-consuming. It can take decades of apprentice marks before an apprentice is ready to move up to the ranks of wanting to quit the entire profession and open a barcade. In the meantime, angry clients pile up and jobs are scuttled. What if there was a better way?
Here at the Seat Safety Switch House of Inappropriate Tool Education, we'll train you up on a million-and-one ways how to not do a job. Our staff don't get a job offer until they've fucked up big-league on at least one major project. What kind of idiot would burn right through a $1000 circuit board by using a plumbing torch to solder? That would be our electronics instructor. Wrecked an entire picturesque Italian village by trying to load a Bobcat into the back of a U-Haul using only two 2x4s as ramps? Yours truly.
When you listen to our instructors talk about their huge, career-ending mistakes, you'll learn from their example much faster than you would ever hope to make mistakes yourself. And then, under their tutelage, you'll start your labwork, where – in a controlled, semi-safe environment – you can replicate our screwups, building that muscle memory and strengthening pit-of-your-stomach fear response.
It is in this way that we hope each and every one of our graduates are empowered to create new, more terrifying mistakes. Errors that we cannot yet imagine. Fuck-ups of the future. Boo-boos for the 22nd century. Sure, our critics will say that nobody learns from their mistakes. And they're right. They'll learn from ours.

[so bonecrusher's missing.]
[most of the gang has been sent out to go find his ass - minus groundrumbler. our little groundhog's been tasked with home defense, just in case any ruffians want to steal anything while everyone else is out playing.]
[...and since this is groundrumbler, he's plastered off his ass and more bored than a 2x4. so what's a bored alcoholic shortstack to do?]
[why, snoop around the base!]
[so, with this idea popping into groundrumbler's head, he slides off of the couch, takes a little bit to get off of the floor, and stumbles down the hallway.]
GR: 'n'... where t' go from here...
...
GR: ...ah.
[he decides that his first destination is gonna be: the offroader brothers' {see: dirtbuster, hitchhiker, terraterror} shared bedroom. with those guys out investigating the saharan desert, who knows what they'll do once they find out what groundrumbler's been doing while they've been gone.]
[groundrumbler lazily rests his hand against the doorpad, wandering through a second later.]
[...ah. it's. a lot messier than he expected. exhibit a: he just stepped in a pile of guts. not something he expected from anyone aside from bonecrusher, but, eh... well. it's certainly something.]
[groundrumbler takes this opportunity to just. not. so he turns around and closes the door behind him to go investigate another bedroom. but who's?]
[well, footmuncher's, o'course. for obvious reasons, groundrumbler already knows pretty much what to expect from the chopper's bedroom. moments after thinking about what else he might expect from it, groundrumbler presses the doorpad and walks on in.]
[...yup. ropes of hardened cum. and it's goddamn everywhere. smells strongly of marshmallows, though, so that's... well, not much better but it's a start.]
GR: [drunk gibberish.]
[he closes the door as he walks out, not wanting much else to do with that mess. so, a pile of guts and a room lousy with cumwebbing. what else?]
[fuck it, groundrumbler considers his own bedroom. heading for the door, he pops it open.]
[the walls of his bedroom are wooden in the same way that you'd expect to find an old-fashioned mansion's walls to be. his bed is soft and comfy, his little multi-task desk is where it should be.]
[...and there's an intruder. matte black paintjob, eyes aren't visible from where groundrumbler's standing.]
???: [mumbling to itself as it searches through one of groundrumbler's drawers.]
[groundrumbler has a couple of ideas on what to do in this sort of situation, but not why this fellow cybertronian's in his bedroom. he chooses to take a risk and announce himself with a human technique: a simple 'ahem'.]
[the intruder's head swerves over to look at groundrumbler, its face covered with part of a mask. the right eyehole's built like one of those annoying ass 2008 shutter shades, whereas the left is a slit. red light flows through both holes.]
???: ...uhm.
[groundrumbler squints his eyes a bit as he tries to place where he recognizes this bot from.]
[then it hits him. this bot - based on a silent scan - took the form of a/the imponte duke o'death. why? who knows. what groundrumbler does know, however, is that he's not gonna let some grim reaper imposter rifle through his shit.]
GR: what're you doin' 'ere?
???: just window shopping for some info, 's all.
GR: what info?
[the intruder seems to shudder a bit as it considers its next words.]
???: ...familial documents?
[groundrumbler blinks a couple of times, his thoughts immediately turning to his sister. fuck, if this guy's with his sister...]
GR: [he grabs his dozer blade from off of his back.] who sent you?
???: some dozer chick. i don't know her personally, just that she wants to uh... in her words, 'confirm some suspicions?'
GR: 'dozer chick'...
[he emits a low growl. this bot isn't gonna get out alive if it means keeping his location safe from his sister.]
GR: hands out o' the drawer.
[the intruder takes its hands out of groundrumbler's drawer, closing it and keeping them where he can see 'em.]
???: i take it you... have some beef with this chick.
GR: it's more th'n beef.
???: ...ah. should i- should i go? i'm gonna go-
[before the imposter can get to the window, groundrumbler grapples its waist with both hands and pulls it backward a bit.]
GR: nah, c'mere.
[with a noise of exertion, groundrumbler pushes the intruder onto his bed and closes the window so it can't escape.]
GR: so... i guess i need t' install better s'curity.
[he shuffles over to his bed, climbing in and sitting next to the intruder. he doesn't seem too pissed about the intruder breaking into his bedroom for some reason.]
GR: what's yer name?
???: ...chiliad.
GR: mm. allegiance?
C: i don't have one. mostly just working for those who pay me the most.
[groundrumbler slumps over to lay in chiliad's lap.]
GR: y'seem oddly comfy fer someone who's jus' been caught intrudin'.
C: well... the dozer chick isn't paying me much. not much worry there- how much have you had to drink?
GR: ...bunch.
C: [slight chuckle.] i bet. this place seems a bit big for one bot to hang out in, eh?
GR: yeh. 'bout that... leader-esque guy went missing an' everyone else is searchin' for him.
C: damn, that sucks. you want me to keep you company?
GR: depends. yue a lightweight?
C: [another low chuckle.] yeah, a bit. hope that doesn't kill the mood.
GR: nah, nah, anything'll fly here. jus' don't make any attemps on anyone's lives 'n' you're fine... speaking o' which: name's groundrumbler. nice t' meet'cha.
C: likewise... guess you don't mind if i take a quick nap here?
GR: mm.
[chiliad emits a final chuckle before pulling groundrumbler up by the chest, snuggling with him as they both go for a nice nap, just the two of them.]

This is the block that our son invented but it's from Greece and it was something he did in that era and it's somewhat interlocking because it was easy to use tons of buildings are made out of it and they're still up other buildings are gone and they do pour ground in it they have holes and they are cast with holes in them and they're not hard to make and the whole sometimes didn't line up but it's still very very strong and there was no laugh lead between it it was a glue and instead of a just motor and special mix and people try to replicate it and they can't do it perfectly but they come close and this is the point it should not be that hard to replicate but it is cuz we don't want you to and other people don't want you to but a ton of people should be aware that this block that is used in Florida is not very strong and not bullet resistant but the ones you see on the buildings in Greece and Rome have endured many many wars and horrific ones as you know and a lot of them are not even married and they're made out of regular concrete and extremely hard so please order up and we'll send it down there about 5000 PSI because we are not making it very strong ones and it's easy to make them and just cost more and 5,000 PSI is three times as strong no it's about twice as strong as regular block if you cast The block in the same manner but yes it's three times as strong and it's lighter because it's not as wide about 5 in wide and you need to have it changed on your plans and get the town to approve it before doing it and it does change the dimensions and some require you to re dimension it. And you can make a note not even dimensioned but it's the new block and the trust guy needs to know and they can change it at their shop but we are shipping a lot of this tonight we're getting orders already
Is a testament to his block design and the block concrete design because the mix on some of the buildings is the same it's not very high in PSI by comparison to the high strength block but what you see here is about 10,000 PSI but it is regular standard concrete mix it does have some fly ash in it which doesn't necessarily strengthen it and you have to reduce the acidity first and we have a process for that and if you want the higher strength block you must make a note of it when you're ordering it is a little bit more money and large of the block is some more it costs but these blocks are not very expensive and are cheaper than CMU by the sfca and they go up faster much faster and the machine can adapt to it and it puts it up fast as hell some people use brick machines because they can fit and these blocks are really easy to handle and they don't rip your hands apart and you can wear gloves or not and still use them as a wonderful product and a son should be committed and Florida will recover because of it a lot of people want to make little bunkers and all sorts of things safe rooms and it's perfect for it and we recommend it strongly these clones are at everyone and you can make it really really quick using the technique that we described it goes up very fast and you could use durock on the it's the ceiling joist or it's the trust choice you cut in durock and you coat the size of it and it's hard to get into believe it or not it can even coat it with with concrete and it makes it more resilient it's really really nice and it makes it waterproof too
A lot of people put the block on top of the door Rock but sideways and they buy the 4-in and they glue it together it makes it very very strong and it spans it almost and it doesn't move at all once it's cured it's hard as Stone and they make sure there's a positive connection meaning they cut the drywall out and they glue the stone together and he went ahead and did it and he figured out how to do it at the end of it he just opened the wall up and put them lock inside the wall and you have a 2x4 there but he put the rock on the inside and he had to put a new shower in so you might as well put the block on the inside and get a small shower and he didn't want to do that it's also way to keep your insulation value and it fools people then you dry all the outside of it it looks like nothing it's only like 5 in here hiding
Thor Freya
Well we started going on and on and it was like stop stop and we're young and we criticized but people shouldn't and we shouldn't it's a great presentation of our product but heck I'm doing it
Hera
Well she's a woman and wants me to talk and sometimes she doesn't want me to talk but she does and that's how it is but his talk is perfect and retrospect but really she wants to publish it because she wants people to buy stuff she wants them to buy this block and get it in we're suffering under the hamster all very gutteral

Trying to keep my word on writing about the house as I tackle every corner, but then I get knee deep in projects and struggle to remember to photographically document. (Don’t expect home-improvement-influencer quality.)
But I did make an interesting discovery.
Ancient hieroglyphics, circa 2005.
And stink bugs.
Regarding the latter, I’ve never seen one in my life until a few weeks ago. The residential pests I’m accustomed to encountering are more pedestrian, like ants and spiders (or back east, rats and roaches…Not fond memories). I’m told these are a scourge of the Midwest and southeast, and now with autumn quickly turning into a two-week season in western Washington, they’re growing endemic here.
Having spotted half a dozen or so alarmingly close to my sad, grossly-warped exterior doors (a future topic), it occurred to me it is probably time to undertake some minor pest control. I’m loathe to actually -call- someone, lest they see the state of my haphazard unpacking, so I loaded up my gallon sprayer with bifenthrin and set off to make a moat around the house. Incidentally, a professional, whether Orkin or some “natural” pest control company, is going to use bifenthrin. The “natural” guys are going to be a bit more judicious about it. I’ll be careful. But that’s also a story for another time.
As I got around to the kitchen window, I noticed something scrawled just below the siding.
WaFFle Head is deadly
IF gal of gas =8# -> emits 20# co^2 making mass??
Someone suggested to me that a waffle head is a type of framing hammer. Was there a murder here?
As for their stoichiometric pondering, well, it comes from air. That’s how combustion works.
But wait, there’s more.
WWW DOT KEXP DOT . ORG
Dang ol internet, I tell ya what man. www dot w dot com.
enamel cracks off tank lasts a shorter time
Cryptic advice about purchasing a water closet, perhaps? Or a warning? Written in the mechanical room next to the water heater. It’s probably due for replacement anyhow. That’s not a DIY job.
There’s all sorts of these scrawlings all around the exterior of the house and every unfinished surface in the basement. I’ve been in plenty of old houses where there’s evidence of a carpenter’s back-of-the-2x4 calculations, or quick notes to future technicians, but these seem like someone involved in building the house just wrote down whatever was in their head at the time. It’s fascinating.
One more, but the mystery was solved thanks to the fine folks of /r/askanelectrician.
Someone humorously suggested “Disco Ball Plug,” but someone more knowledgeable about heat pump systems said there is a likely chance of there being an electrical outlet co-located at the shutoff for the outdoor unit. On a separate circuit so ostensibly someone maintaining the system can run their power tools while the heat pump is safely turned off. In more practical terms, I’m happy I have a usable outlet at the rear of the house, and don’t need to run an extension into the bathroom to run my powr tools outside.
Yes, I’m a Luddite in some regards and refuse to own cordless power tools.
Until next time. I’ve got to go replace some more GFCIs.

How to Do Basic Home Repair Like Re-Leveling a Sunken Floor
Numerous a mortgage holder can set aside lots of cash by accomplishing the actual work. All they need is a little direction in the right regions.
Take a hanging floor for example. You could view at the floor as a proper enduring article however truly it is by and large suspended in the air on posts and bars. The extent of this article can't cover a depressed substantial floor. That is a totally unique matter.
Presently back to the depressed wooden floor. Under it is either an unfinished plumbing space or perhaps a cellar and you would have to figure out where the floor is indented to have the option to view the help part that necessities as fixed. This is quite simple to do with a level.
Go to the room that has the most observable rest in the floor and lay the level on it to see which course the floor falls. Presently go by and large around the room and lay the level every which way to track down the absolute bottom. At times the absolute bottom is in an alternate room however it is highlighting where the maintenance needs to happen.
A portion of the reasons for sinking are spoiled wooden individuals that help the floor, the substantial or stone dock has depressed into delicate earth conceivable from having the dirt under the wharf being upset during exhuming and not getting it compacted prior to setting the dock or there was a change in the earth beneath and it make a region of the house sink.
These causes can be fixed so don't surrender. There are basic and simple to apply steps you can take to finish the work yourself.
The primary instruments you will require are;
25 ton or greater jacks (you ought to have two of them. You can pull off 12 ton jacks yet it is more diligently to siphon them.) Or house screw jacks.
Pressure dealt with stumble for new posts like 4X4 or 4X6 to go under the bar and down to the substantial dock.
A few 2X4 parts of nail the presents on the pillars when done or metal lashes in the event that you like.
A sledge,
A demolition hammer,
4 two foot bits of 2X6
2 bits of 1'X1' 3/4" compressed wood for the jacks to remain on.
A decent 4' or longer level
clean plastic sheet to lay on under the house
Since you have every one of the devices prepared and you have found the piece of the house that is low. The time has come to get to work. You will need to be near the post when you jack up the pillar. That way you are just lifting the low finish of the shaft and making an effort not to lift the entire pillar from the center.
By and large two bars meet over a post and you will require two jacks to securely lift each shafts weight off of the post. Once. To put the jacks appropriately you originally set out the 2X6 pieces one next to the other (2 of them) and afterward you lay the 3/4" pressed wood on top of them in the center then the jack goes in addition. This gives you a huge balance to lift from. Ensure the stage you assemble is level. The jack must direct straight all over the place toward work securely.
The last thing you need is an best 3 ton floor jack with a lot of house weight sitting on it and it chooses to fall over. Work safe and you will live it up fixing the depressed floor.
Presently start lifting the bar or shafts up If two bar closes are being lifted they need to go up at a similar rate and level. Presently proceed to check the floor intermittently to ensure you are getting it level. You might hear some clearly poping and squeaking sounds. This is normal so don't be frightened.
Assuming you need to lift the floor up more than 1/2 to 1" you might get a few breaks in the walls and they are simply superficial so they can be fixed without a lot of trouble. Entryways may likewise not fit their openings in the event that you needed to lift a wall with an entryway in it.
When you have the floor level again give it a siphon or two more on the jack and slice yourself another post to fit the new hole from the shaft to the substantial wharf. Put a piece of tar paper on top of the substantial wharf and afterward the new post on top of the tar paper so the wood can't contact the substantial. This will keep the wood from spoiling. The wood ought to likewise be pressure treated.
In the event that there are two shafts ensure the joint grounds in the focal point of the new post and afterward bring down the pillars to the post. Presently take the 2X4 pieces and rest them against the shaft and down each side of the post and nail them together.
You are currently finished and can get every one of your devices. This is the point at which you experience the pride of accomplishing the work yourself.
In the event that you are lifting radiates in a storm cellar you would utilize shaft jacks for wellbeing and convenience. You actually need to fabricate the wooden base for the jacks to remain on so you don't take a risk of breaking the substantial floor.

An episode of SPN that would be absolutely pointless but I would love to see it
In all honesty, I have no idea where this came from but I found it hilarious and now I need to share it with y’all. So buckle up and prepare for an absolute wild ride as I describe this episode that will never see the light of day (with pictures):
Hear me out, a supernatural episode that takes place at Camden Park. Now for those of you who are not familiar with, or only know it from Fallout 66, it’s a small amusement park in good ol’ West Virginia that all of Appalachia knows/been too. The time stamp for this is like 2013 so like season 8 of the show. For obvious reasons, it HAS TO BE a ghost; it’s not a vengeful spirit but more of a ghost that just messes with the rides. Out of all the ghosts the show has had, this is literally the most unproblematic. They wouldn’t even be upset that they died at Camden Park because what are safety codes??? They could of died on any of the rides and anyone that has ever been there will literally tell you they could see it happen. The last time I was there me and my cousin literally witnessed a board, with nails sticking out of it, fall off the Big Dipper and smack someone in the face. We still got on the ride because we didn’t care; we’re from eastern Kentucky, we weren’t afraid of death and if we were to go out on the Big Dipper then so be it.
Fun Fact: Camden Park is built around/on an Adena burial mound.
Right off the bat Sam HATES the place because of the clowns. He would be checking over his shoulder the whole time. Just look at this guy, Sam would hate him from the beginning:
Meanwhile, Dean would be making fun of the place just because. Cas would be indifferent and just watch Dean the entire time. (This would absolutely be a date but more on that later) Dean would absolutely insist on riding majority of the rides with Cas while Sam looks on in disgust because none of the rides should be considered safe. (Don’t believe me, look at the reviews for the park but I’ll be damned if Camden Park gets shut down. Y’all don’t want to upset the tri-state of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia)
So during the day, the three of them absolutely ride the Big Dipper. You can’t go to Camden Park and not ride the Big Dipper. Now this bad boy has been open since 1958 and does not know what maintenance is. A fresh coat of white paint and some 2x4′s?? Works for me. Will they get launched out of their cars when they go down a slope? Will they survive the tunnel unscathed or will they get a free pet snake? Who knows?
After that, it’s obvious they have to get on the most mediocre haunted house you have ever seen. The early 2000′s version of the ride was better than the current one but atlas we can’t have that joy. When I call this mediocre I literally mean it. The current one has these baby doll things strung up to make it seem scary but in all honesty, it ain’t it. It’s literally blacked out because they couldn’t decorate everything inside.
Like what is it supposed to be?? They would get on it just for laughs. On a side note, here’s another story but this time centered on the previously mentioned baby doll things: on one of my many trips to this place, me and my sister and her best friend/sister (she’s been here for years so she’s basically family) were waiting in line to ride the haunted house. While waiting, one of the dolls fell off, hit the dude controlling the ride and he just kicked it off to the side and had the look on his face that clearly said he did not get paid enough for this.
Back to the never going to see the light of day episode idea, Dean would 1000% ride The Whip with Cas. Now this ride lives up to its name; the odds of you getting whiplash is like 97% and you can forget about having bruise free skin. (Unrelated side note: The Whip is my favorite)
Dean and Cas would be squished inside one of these bad boys and will be thrown into each other constantly while having the time of their lives. Our ghost will make an appearance and make deancas canon because why the hell not. Sam would either be watching on from the side, paired with someone in one of the carts behind Dean and Cas (would be absolutely hilarious if he was paired with Mothman) or trying to research our ghosty boi.
We montage throughout the day and see Cas talking Dean out of eating the park food (because if you’ve been there you know), the three of them playing putt putt (or minigolf whatever you call it), them being on the sketchy Log Flume (waterlog) where the water is very questionable as to what it actually is, Dean and Cas on the very unsafe ski lift, and the infamous destiel stare with Sam groaning in the background. Cut to the hotel room where Sam desperately reminds Dean as to why they are even in West Virginia in the first place. We cut back to the park after hours and see it’s pretty easy to get back in. I’m nearly certain the closing staff just shut and lock the main gate and meet up at the local Wendy’s or something. Anyways, the boys run into our ghosty boi and they end up revealing where their body or attached object is at. It’s pretty cut and dry and the ghost can finally rest and leave Camden Park. However, before they leave, we get a shot of Dean and Cas in front of the Dodgem ride (bumper cars) and they’re leaning in. When we think we are finally getting the destiel kiss, Sam butts in (cause it’s the cw after all) and Dean gets uncomfortable. Sam says something along the lines of “are we going to leave or what? This place is giving me the creeps.” Dean responds with a sheepish head nod and dejectedly walks back towards Baby with Sam in tow. Meanwhile, Cas, still at the bumper cars, is upset because he nearly kissed Dean but Sam had to ruin the moment and thus accidently sets fire to the Dodgem ride.
THE END
Like I said, I have no idea where this came from but I hope some of y’all enjoy this madness I thought of.
#spn#supernatural#dean winchester#castiel#sam winchester#destiel#deancas#my idea of an episode that shouldnt be made#i dont know if anyone would find this as hilarious as i did but i hope yall enjoy it#spn meets camden park#camden park would make a great episode#feel free to add on#why did i think of this#this is definitely a deancas date#sam would be traumatized by the clown tho#could classify this as a fic

Umber Embers 9.28.21 “Masquerade: Ignorant Faces On Display”
Everyone knows
That we’re not supposed to see your nose
Let's face the facts
That your face detracts
Points of the scoreboard
Since it looks like you’ve been 2x4’d
A few too many times
And you’d think I’m out of rhymes
But unfortunately my mind runs like this
I’ve no time for hit or miss
That’s why I keep it safe
And when I see you strafe
I keep my distance and keep my mask
But if you would like I have a marvelous cask
Of Amontillado down in my cellar
That I received from some Poetic seller
Brick, by brick, I’ll keep you quarantined
Because it is long past time someone has intervened
Swept in because you forgot to how to play along
The notion that you labor under is all too wrong
So watch what you say about what is a law
Because all you are showing is character flaw
The temperature in the room here is rising
And the whole crowd around is advising
So as a cool headed fellow said
You need to stop, collaborate and listen instead
Of running your mouth, instead of matching our pace
So once again, sir, I shouldn’t be seeing your face

any fun facts about the lee family
I assume you mean THIS Lee Family.
-Miram is a stay at home passionate pta mom who has a small at home buisness on the side. She sells potions for practical uses (to remove stains, to keep out pests, to help remove hair dye, take the age right off your jewlery and antiques) online. She's very much a woman who does it all at once and her schedule is not for the faint of heart.
-Christopher was always a sickly child growing up and him getting into the pharmaceutical industry was because of that. He still seems to be allergic to most everything ranging from dustmites to rabbits-he tries to keep the home as tidy as he can to keep those attacks on the minimum.
-Ruebella is a sort of social climber, she desperately wants to seem stylish and in the most interesting social groups. She's always trying to seem older than she actually is and has frequently gotten her in trouble at school and with other people. She's at the...difficult age.
-Alphonso is a very very gentle person despite his very rocky history (pyromania, hitting someone with a 2X4, running away repeatedly, stealing, food hording tendencies) He often tries to follow Ruebella around like a lost child, so it's not weird to see the near adult sized Alphonso holding hands with 13 year old Ruebella because she walks fast and she doesn't want to lose her again.
-Alphonso's favorite food of choice to horde is spam and any kind of canned food with a pull tab. This was more or less a gentle solution Miram provided for him because he kept hording food in his room that would attract ants and at the very least, canned goods don't bring in ants. She doesn't mind it provided he puts the cans in the garbage until she can sort of wean him off this behavior and make him feel safe enough to eat in public.
-Ruebella's also similar to her friends try to get Alphonso to do stuff like buy them beer and vapes because he looks much much older than them, but the worst he does is walk in, get anxious and then walks out.
-One time Ruebella tried to invite a senior from school over to 'study' and Alphonso opened the door and inadvertedly terrified him for the 4 minutes he was stuck on the porch until he ran off. It is for Ruebella's own good more than Alphonso's that he hangs around her all the time.
-Ruebella's favorite past time is skin care aside from make up and she is still trying to cow Alphonso into letting her put a peel off face mask on him. The thing with having 3 different kinds of skin types on your face-tends to result in bad reactions from that.

So... I’m Back With More Mac Whump ;)
So I am apparently very bored today. I feel like the week between Christmas and New Year’s (for those who celebrate them), always feels like a kind of limbo, but that might just be me :p. Anyways...at least it is helping me to actually write things...
Warnings: Referenced nightmares, bad memories, past related trauma, imagined violence, and self-blaming are present in this fic, so if these trigger you, please be safe! I put Mac through a lot of mental trauma in this fic, if you or someone you know is suffering from this, please, find someone to talk to, believe me, it will help, and know that I am always open to talk about anything. Please, be safe.
Again, if you have anything MacGyver related that you want me to write, be sure to send me an ask! I would love to write something you guys want to see!
Takes place about two weeks after 2x4.
....
“Well, goodnight Mac, see you tomorrow, bright and early!” Riley said cheerily as she walked out the door. The team had just gotten back from a successful mission to take down a criminal group that had been blackmailing government officials in Europe. As per tradition, they had all come to Mac’s house to celebrate with beer around the fire. Riley was the last to leave, and Bozer was already in his room, getting ready for bed, if not already asleep.
“Bye Riles.”
As soon as Mac had waved goodbye to Riley, his cheerful, but forced smile fell from his face, and he slid down to the couch, his head in his hands.
God, he was tired.
He had tried his best to keep it together during their mission, but the truth was, he hadn’t been sleeping nearly as much as he needed to. Every time he went to sleep, he was back in the room with Murdoc looming over him. Sometimes, he would speak and taunt Mac, but other times, he would just stand and stare at him, with a strange look in his eyes. It was almost, possessive. Whatever it was, it sent a shudder through Mac every time he thought about it. Lately, though, it was getting worse. The nightmares didn’t stay confined to when he was asleep, they happened when he was awake too.
He knew he was overreacting.
It’s over. You’re safe.
No matter how many times he told himself that, his mind wouldn’t cooperate.
He came up to your door last time. Who’s to say that he won’t be able to just walk in and take you again?
Mac shook his head trying to clear it of those unwelcome thoughts, and slowly stood up. He wanted to sleep, no he needed to sleep. He could barely function today, if he continued like this, how long would it be before he was a danger to his team. To Jack, to Riley. He wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if his stupid fears put one of his friends, no, his family in danger.
With that thought in mind, he forced himself to walk into the bathroom and get ready for bed. He went through the motions, washing his face, brushing his teeth, but he still slept fully clothed. He couldn’t bring himself to sleep without being fully prepared to jump up and defend himself at a moment’s notice, a habit formed during his time in the Army that had come back full swing the past few weeks.
He slowly walked into his bedroom, and sat down on this bed, not fully prepared to lie down and succumb to the darkness that would leave him defenseless against the nightmares that would inevitably follow.
Cold, metal handcuffs digging into his wrists.
The slight pressure of the IV needle sticking into his arm, the liquid inside making his mind muddled and leaving him without his greatest weapon.
The whistling that signaled the return of his psychopathic kidnapper.
The sharp pain as Murdoc twisted the needle in his arm.
Mac dug his fingers into the pillow as he tried to clear his head of the intrusive thoughts.
He didn’t even try to stop the tears that started rolling down his cheeks as the thoughts continued.
You’re weak. You are going to be the reason that Jack, the reason that Matty, the reason that Riley, dies.
You can’t even protect yourself, how will you possibly protect them?
I am everywhere, I will kill you and everyone else you love.
Murdoc was taunting him now, and in Mac’s fatigued mind, he believed him. After all, it was his fault, wasn’t it?
He was so tired. Mac kept trying to quiet his mind, but he couldn’t stop his mind.
Jack, his neck snapped, lying dead on the ground. It was his fault.
Riley, bleeding out from a gunshot wound, dying on the ground. It was his fault.
Before his mind could bring up any more of his family to die, he felt arms around his shoulders, softly rubbing in circles. It took a few minutes before he realized it was Bozer. Knowing he must have woken him with his crying, he instantly tried to apologize, but Bozer interrupted him.
“Hey, hey, hey man. It’s okay, just breathe,” he said softly, as Mac began to calm down, “You don’t have to be sorry, what you went through would mess with anyone’s head. I’m just sorry we didn’t realize what you were going through sooner. Do you want to talk about it?”
“Every time when I fall asleep, I’m back there, with Murdoc, and I can’t stop him, I can’t...”
“It’s okay Mac, you’re safe, you’re here now, you escaped.”
“I know, I know I’m safe, but I can’t stop thinking about it, and I know I need to sleep, because if I don’t, you guys could die, and it would be my fault. You guys could die, and it would be all my fault. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry...”
“I’m alive Mac, Riley’s alive, Jack’s alive, and we’re all going to stay that way. You know, we can all hold are own, you’re not responsible for all of us,” Bozer responded, with a small smile.
“Okay, okay...” Mac looked like he was thinking that over.
“Do you need anything, do you want me to call Jack?”
“No, no, don’t bother him, could you, could you stay?” Mac asked sheepishly.
“Of course I can, anything for you Mac.,” Bozer responded, and then went to go get a chair to sit in.
Mac finally laid down and it looked like his fatigue was about to catch up to him. His eyelids were beginning to droop.
Bozer looked at Mac with a smile, and sat down in the chair.
“Do you remember that time when we were little and...”
