#and now we have new air fryer and i'm scared to use it
Text
it sucks that doing something that i know is good for myself can just be so painful. i have to create distance but it just feels like... idk, i always think of creating distance between someone else and myself as almost severing a limb. its why i'm so careful of who i get close to, because its so hard to create distance if we get too close too fast
the only thing that's keeping me from scrapping it all and just going back to talking to her is because i know she can't handle that push-pull dynamic either (not that she'd ever tell me that). i have to be confident in what i can handle in this friendship before we start talking again, or i'm just going to hurt us both when i inevitably get overwhelmed
haha i'm sorry for all the venting lately folks, i don't wanna annoy my friends with talking about this too much. and my best friend doesn't really understand the situation anyway, they just think i should cut her off and move on

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Halloween was among us, I for one loved the holiday but with our job every day was Halloween. When I was a kid I loved dressing up and watching horror movies. None of my friends really cared for Halloween expect maybe my brother Jack and my fiance Lance.
But the last few years our group of friends started a tradition where we'd go to someone's house and watch a bunch of horror movies and eat junk food.
When we all got off work we headed to Temperance and Booth's house. While me, Cam and Angela were getting snacks, Jack and Lance were looking for movies.
While everything was getting set up we waited for the other guests while Booth and Aristoo watched the news for some reason.
“why are you watching the ne-”
“shh” Booth said cutting me off and turned the volume up. There was a lady standing infront of a haunted house on the TV.
“Tonight's is the opening night of DC's Great Balls of Fire, a haunted attraction that has caused some controversy in recent weeks drawing from local urben ledgends and actual serial killers... One maze is actually based on H. H Holmes, is this in poor taste, of just good old fashioned fun?”
Booth sighs and turns off the the TV. “sounds like just a bunch of over sensitive a-holes trying to shut down everyones Halloween fun”
“but if these are based off actual murders around here they could have families” Cam said. “hell, we probably solved a couple of them” I added.
“dude... What if it's haunted? Like haunted haunted” Jack said getting excited, Temperance was quick to rain on his parade. “actually, it's not possible for paranormal activity”
“well, we should still go” I said putting the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. Angela rolled her eyes and stood up as the air fryer dinged “I'm gonna get the pizza rolls”
“I'll go with you” Cam added
“Aw, common Ang” Jack called out.
Not a second later Angela’s screams erupted through the houses then a cash sound followed along with what sounded like Cam's cackles. We all looked over to where the sound came from, confused. Angela came racing in shaking while Wendell followed, rubbing his head. He had crumbs in his hair and red sause on his face from the pizza rolls.
“What happened to you?” I asked, chuckling.
Wendell turned around and looked at Angela. “You hit me in the head with an air fry basket” Angela whipped back around. “Well you snuck up on me, what do you expect?”
“Where's the pizza rolls?” Lance joked as Angela sat down next to Jack with her arms crossed, Jack chuckled and wrapped his arm around her. “Aw, come on babe, it's Halloween everyone's entitled to a good scare”
“so we going or what? It'll be alot more entertaining than y/n and sweets' horror movie collection” Booth joked. “hey..” me and Lance both said.
“going where?” Wendell asked. “The Halloween amusement park thing just outside of the city” Cam said.
Temperance rolled her eyes. “it's just a bunch of cheep rides and haunted houses that aren't even scary. It's a waist of time”
“you scared Bones?” Booth teased, she just rolled her eyes. “with the stuff we see everyday nothing should faze us now”
“soo...” me and Lance both said looking at everyone.
“Sure, why not” Jack said looking at everyone for confirmation. “you in Wendell?” he nodded.
“cam? Arastoo?” I asked turning to the couple. She nodded with a big smile. “I've been in for a while.”
“yeah, it should be fun” Arastoo nodded.
“Come on Bones, it'll be fun” I said. Temperance soon gave in with a smile. Shee nodded making everyone cheer.
After transportation planning and a few extra details we all separated into three cars and headed out.
~~~~~~~~(.......)~~~~~~~~
“we made it!” me and jack cheered as the the both of raced in leaving the group behind.
“wait up guys! We still need tickets!” Angela shouted making us sighed and walk back.
The line was long but thankful we were towards the front. “lot of weirdos” Cam mumbled. A guy in a clown costume that was behind her and Temperance in line tried to scare them, It didn't work. Temperance didn't even flinch and Cam rolled her eyes.
“boo, so scary” Cam said sarcastically, Arastoo put his arm on her shoulder turning her away from the clown. Booth wrinkled up his nose and subtly moved closer to me and Lance.
We all finally got in with our VIP passes and the place was a sight to see to say the least. Before we set off Lance came up to me with a creeped out expression as he took my hand.
“Sweets we just got here, what's the problem?” Booth asked. He looked around a shivered.
“please tell me the ticket guy licked his lips at all of you and not just me?” I scrunched my noise up in discussed and Booth started laughing.
“would it make you feel better if is said yes?” I asked sweetly, his looked slightly annoyed now. “no, because I don't want so random dude doing that to my fiance” I chuckled which made a smile creep on his face.
“come on, let's have some fun” I said as all of us set off to explore the place.
Booth looked over to Temperance who just looked around slightly board but still trying to look like she was having fun. “this really isn't your thing, is it?” I asked her.
She shrugged with a smile. “I'm just happy to do something with Booth and you guys” Booth was about to lean down and kiss her head, but a guy in a clown costume scared us. Booth jumped in to Temperance's arms and Lance flinched and held on to me, me and Temperance both laughed.
“okay, that was fun” Temperance laughed. I chuckled and pulled Lance along to catch up with the other.
“haunted house?” Wendell asked. We all agreed making our way in. Arastoo and Cam went in first cleaning to each other. The first guy that popped out was bloody, cannibal like doctor making Angela jump into Jack's arms with fear.
She pushed him away like nothing happened. “and... That's just insulting” Temperance said pointing at the doctor as she walked by with Booth.
Strob lights and blood surrounded us as we walked into a canbilist farm themed room. The place was based off. The text chain saw mascara movies obviously.
“ew, that looks so real” Cam said looking at a dummy that was gutted to piece. I looked at it and decided to screw with her.
“that's probably pig intestines, it's what they used in Day of the dead” I said pointing at the dummy. Arastoo wrapped his arm around Cam and looked at me disgust. “how do you know that?”
“same reason I know that I know they used corn syrup for pigs blood in Carrie” I shrugged and Lance wrapped his arm around my waist.
Next we walked into a pitch black room. “okay... Something is gonna pop out” Angela mumbled clinging to Jack.
“hello?” Temperance yelled.
“they aren't gonna respond” Booth said as he looked around.
Strob light suddenly turned on and a bloody clown, taller then Booth came charging at us with a ax. Booth screamed and ran for it while Temperance laughed.
The final room was a back room full of maquines with wolf masks. “one of you are real” Lance mumbled. We successfully made it to the other side without getting scared which made Angela feel confident to walk through. As she went one of them moved and grabbed her scream bloody murder.
She ran out with Jack and the rest of us chacing her.
“that was so badass!” Jack cheered as we made it out to the end. Me and jack high-five then turned to our friend group, everyone seemed shaken up except Temperance.
After that we hit the cheeply made games. Booth and I went up agint each other while Lance and Jack went to a ring toss booth. Surprisingly I won and I wasn't gonna let Booth forget it. “yes! Suck on that!” he laughed and gave me the win.
“here you go” Lance said from behind me. I turned around to find my fiance Holding a little fox plushie he won. I smiled and thanked him with a quick peck on the cheek.
Angela, Cam, and Arastoo then came back with giant preziles and funnel cakes. “What did we miss?” Arastoo asked handing me my funnel cake.
“y/n whipped Booth in a Shooting game” Jack laughed. “yes, that's my girl!” Angela said high-fiving me as Lance took the paper plate and ate some of the funnel cake.
The dude running the Booth gave me my prize, which was a panda bear plushie. I thanked him and gave it Lance.
“i saw another haunted house when I was getting drinks... Sounds pretty scary” Cam said. “i think there's alot of clown crap, so it's probably based off IT or something” Arastoo added.
Booth's eyes bugged out in fear from behind me and Lance. Cam noticed and chuckled. No one knew of his fear expect me and Temperance. He reluctantly agreed as we headed off.
“you alright?” Lance asked, Booth pushed his shoulder slightly. “it's your day off Shrink”
“God, I hate clowns” Booth mumbled. Temperance stopped and grabbed his hand. “We don't have to go in if you don't want to... I'll stay out here with you while the others go in” he shook his head and pulled her along.
“no, let's go” Temperance rolled her eyes and tired to stop him but no dice.
We all went to the entrance which was old, rugged door with very scary written on it. “how scary is 'very scary'?” Angela asked walking towards it. I shrugged when she stopped and looked at me for confirmation.
“it's a haunted house Angie” Wendell said opening the door. Cam, Arastoo, and Jack went through first. Angela sighed and walked in with Wendell.
“ladies first” Lance said to me and Temperance. Booth nodded and pushed me forward. “yup, we're gentleman around here”
Me and Temperance rolled our eyes and went in before our husbands. Lance garbed my hand as we walked through a room full of glowing mirrors. The light flashed on and off giving it an eary feeling.
It went pitch black for a few minutes then the blue lights came back on. A Pennywise actor jumped out and pounded on the window. “holy shit!” Booth said grabbing on to Temperance.
“I don't like it here!” Lance added, hiding behind me.
“Awsome” I said as we watched Pennywise run around.
We rounded a corner and ended up in a room full of clown statues and plushies. “oh you got be fucking kidding me” Booth mumbled as he watched every single clown making sure one of them wasn't gonna move. All the clown Dolls then started to shake and their eyes glew as we walked pasted.
As we exited we saw everyone was waiting. “that was very disappointing” Temperance said as we continued to walk around, Booth's eyes bugged out as he tried to recover from his 'trauma'.
“yeah I expected a bit more fear” I said. The others came out after words and Angela looked just as terrified as Booth.
Jack stuck his hands in his pockets and motioned to another attraction. “welp, there one more... Might as well get our money's worth” Angela sighed and followed him.
I tunred to my fiance and my best friend. “you two gonna be alright?” Lance nodded and so did Booth. “as long as there's no more freaking clowns.” he mumbled.
The four of us walked In the last building, it was The smallest one and looked like the haunted mansion from Scooby-Doo. We walked through a couple of hallway that made it feel like an actual Scooby-Doo themed attraction.
It wasn't really scary, meaning it didn't even bother Angela. “I think this is the end” Arastoo said.
As he said that the ceiling started cracking, something fell through making dust fill the area. “that smell is disgusting” Angela gasped as familiar stinch filled our noses.
“that's a rotting corps smell” I said covering my mouth and leaning into Lance.
“that looks really real” Arastoo said making us look down, it was clean skeleton that was stained red. Temperance knelt down and looked at the Skelton. “y/n, do you have your flashlight?”
I nodded and dug it out of my bag, Temperance shined it on the Skelton. “why would they put a real skeleton in a haunted house?” Angela asked.
"who knows, the 60s through the 80s were known to use real skeletons in horror movies” I said shrugging.
Jack took out his phone light and studied the now crime scene. “yup, look here sis” I looked and saw a couple of magets and a few termites.
“it looks like she's been here for almost four days” I said.
“call it in Booth it's real” Temperance said standing up. “looks like a female in her late 20s”
“thank God... Let's call it and get out of here” Booth mumbled and pulled out his phone and left the building, Lance followed pulling out his phone too. As they left a scare actor stopped them. Booth wasn't having it, getting into agent mode.
“Hey, this is a crime scene now” he barked and pulled out his badge. The scare actor's shoulders slumped and he pulled off his mask, he was just a teen.
“really man, I just got this job” the boys ignored him and called the Bureau.
“one normal night... That's all I ask” I sighed and stoped the other visitors before they could see the dead body.
“let's get her back to the lab before it catches too much attention” Temperance said.
The part of the park that we were at got shut down so the FBI could get through. Temperance and Jack left with them to get evidence.
“well that killed the mood” Angela said as we continued to walk after everyone was evacuated from the crim scene. “not really” I said.
“well, I'm beginning to believe this place is haunted” Cam added, I sighed. “well let's get to the lab, we're not going to bed anytime soon”
~~~~~~~~(.......)~~~~~~~~
We spent most of the night cleaning the Bones and checking for injuries. We found out the victim was strangled to death with one of those plastic chains that's used for decoration. The victim was killed and left about three day ago, three days before the Halloween park opened.
Lance came into my office about two hours later with tired eyes. I smiled softly as he plopped down on the couch that was in there. “did you get the killer”
Lance rubbed his face and nodded as I lyed down with him. “it was that kid me and Booth ran into when we were making calls”
“why did he do it?” I asked resting my head on his chest. “he wanted the part the victim had, apparently he worked at the attraction for years and the victim got the job right on the spot”
I shook my head. “the girl was so young”
“all her friends said she was so excited to get the job” Lance said.
We talked until we fell asleep, I don't know for how long but we were suddenly woken up by my brother. “What?”
“you guys should go home, the case is over” I sighed and looked at my watch and saw it was not only the next day but time for work too.
“no because our shift just started” I mumbled and sat up carefully. Lance ground and rolled over and fell back asleep. I let him sleep and went into the lab.
Everyone was setting around with energy drinks and coffee. “I'm starting to hate Halloween” Cam mumbled and downed her coffee.
Jack wordlessly handed me a monster and sat down next to him, as I sipped it the lights went out suddenly.
“son of a bitch!” I sighed and we just set there in the dark too tired to do anything.

Oh dope, you have a mudkip? You know where I'm from there was this awesome show that used to run when I was a kid. It was called "Everybody Likes Mudkip" really funny. Doesn't run anymore though... wonder where he is now... what about yours? What're they like?
- Anon ID. 57189
Weird... never heard of that show, then again we didn't have TV at my house growing up.
Reed's nice. He's a service 'mon. Just learning about the world, very curious about new things. Is scared of some things for no reason... like balloons and air fryers. Mudkip are quite sensitive to touch so you have to be very gentle with them. Their skin is quote cool in temprature.
He likes to play fetch, and likes floating in water when he can.
Having sensory issues patting my other more fluffy mons atm... so Reed is a nice change of pace.

Okay so like- the cooker at my new place absolutely SUCKS I can't cook anything with it so last night I went to use the air fryer I got, right? As I've gone to use it EVERY. SINGLE. SOCKET. In my flat went boom! And my phone was on like 7% cause I was about to charge it and would be dead by morning and I needed my alarm for uni. So at this point I haven't eaten, my wife her literally EXPLODED, it sparked white and let out a loud pop, im in pitch black, I'm honestly kinda scared and my phone is gonna die before morning. So already not off to a good start, but oh well, I find my battery pack that has 1% which SOMEHOW got my phone to 50% before quitting and like- my battery pack, my girl was the real mpv in this- like my mother and I was screaming at each other over the phone over this cause she said I'm so negative and that's why, and I was just like "oh sorry- lemme fucking will the power back on with positive thinking!". So we now start at today, I go downstairs, get the to fix my sincere then leave for uni- the bus was PACKED, like completely chock-a-block and I almost fell into a woman's lap so was SOOO embarrassed and wanted to die, and I had blisters from heels so my feet hurt like hell. I get into uni where almost immediately everyone's talking about plans to go out for Halloween including my "friends" right next to me and discussing it when I'm clearly not invited :') then we have a presentation I wasn't prepared for cause I've been so busy with a cancer scare with my grandad and my elderly dog has been doing so poorly lately. Everyone else had the bets fucking work and ideas and I was so embarrassed to even show what I had done and Sven tho my teacher tried there really wasn't much she could say in comparison and I spent like- 2 hours sitting there on my phone cause apparently I've murdered everyone's im the classes pets over the summer and no one wants go know me now even tho I was literally voted as most charismatic. At lunch I went and got a sausage roll cause I still haven't eaten at this point- then we had digital in the afternoon. Now idk if I've mentioned this before but I am HEAVILY dyslexic, like I'm the 2nd worst case my examiner has sent in 40 years heavy. And atleast 5 times within 2 hours I had to go up to my teacher to PROUDLY announce that I in fact could not do the task she had set, as I can't. Fucking. Read. And then she said in the lesson how interns are expected to put all the swatches into the right places which I obviously cannot do because cannot read. So I've just gotten home and got into another argument with my mum whilst having a massive meltdown again, still haven't eaten and I'm now grasping with the fact that I may not even be able to do fashion design and I've just got into loads of debt and wasted my time for nothing, but in also stuck here and can't do fuck all about it and I really fucking miss my dog. Oh and Ethan dropped out.
Sorry for the rant bestie ~🌻
oh my god sonny, if there was one time i really, really wish i could come through the screen & give someone a massive hug it would be right now.
i really don't know what to say, but i'm glad you had a space to get this all out. and lemme just say rn, for someone w terrible dyslexia you are such a trooper to be here talking to me and reading my stuff cause, imma be honest, i'm pretty wordy sometimes.
i really, really hope this next month turns around for you.

Dear
Baekhyunnie,
Firstly, I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday. Its 30 sexy indeed.
Although it's a happy occasion, today has approached extremely quickly for my liking. I'm still finding it difficult to wrap my head around not being able to see you for the next two years.
I am never happy when I sit to pen down these enlistment letters, but I am having an increasingly difficult time while I'm addressing yours. I've repeatedly written and erased so many words because I can't find the right words to express my heart.
When I first got to know about EXO in 2014, I remember falling hard for the charms of Byun Baekhyun. People know you today as a Genius Idol, but for me, I remember the BaekHyun in his twentys who practiced with EXO from morning to dawn right from pre-debut and continues to do so till today. Baekhyun who is always shining bright on stage, who is the most kind and humble person who always tries to bring a smile on everyone's face be it on stage or offstage even now.
My youth is spent with EXO, and naturally there have been moments in my life so far when I was at my lowest, I was feeling down, gloomy or just angsty in particular, in these times I always sought comfort from your voices. I will never have good enough words to express my sincerest gratitude towards you.
It was not until recently I realized I have been so selfish. You've always shined so bright Baekhyunnie that your light blinded all your struggles and long time sufferings. Although I do realize I couldn't have done anything even if I had known, it pains me immensely to think about how hard this journey must have been for you. All I can do, is say "Thank You for Singing for me BaekHyun-ah. You always do well."
The Baekhyun I know is a very open person, very carefree and enthusiastic; Someone who is an introvert by nature, who doesn't like to go out and strip himself of his energy by socializing, but instead he loves to stay indoors and play computer games for hours on end. The Baekhyun I know has a lot to tell us and so he does on his Vlives, he isn't particularly concerned about his image when he plops down on his couch and acts like he's alone when a million people are watching, be it short stories about his new air fryer or pictures of his favourite Mc Donald's meal. He isn't cheesy but will always send heart fluttering messages on bubble, especially when he drinks alcohol. The Baekhyun I know loves his family, friends and fans equally and will not shy away from defending them, especially from Mosquitoes.
The Baekhyun I know has never backed down from educating us, may it be calling out Sasaengs or encouraging us to fill petitions to help a cause. I admire Baekhyun as a person beyond comprehension.
Baekhyun-ah you're truly the light of our lives.
When I grew up looking at Baekhyun I learnt a lot. BaekHyun-ah, your words have always touched my too-vulnerable heart. The most important lesson I learnt is that not every day has to be a good day, but I must live anyway. We must live life at the fullest but also at our own pace and with our own terms. So until you come back from the military, I will try my best to live my life diligently. I hope to go to college and take the first steps towards my dreams, even if that means I will be getting further away from home. I wonder if we're equally scared about new adventures?
You've always been so chatty with us, how are we all going to survive without your impromptu messages and lives? I know you're just as affected by this as we are but from the way you've been talking recently, so I will diligently give you updates about my days on twitter with #백현아오늘은 in hopes that you will not keep on worrying about losing us now because we have already come so far together. I won't even be able to count the number of memories we have lived together in the past and I cant wait to make hundreds more so I can promise you I'm not going anywhere. So far you have been our light, but now allow us to be your light.
Bakekhyun-ah, take care of yourself please. I know you will be quick to make friends and acquaintances in the military because you're a literal ball of sunshine but I'm extra worried because of your health condition.
When you feel Lonely, when you want to cry, when you want to smile, don’t just embrace yourself alone alright, in a flash, just wish upon a star and my your voice will reach us passing through a sea of Moonlight. Believe in our bond and when we say Saranghaja, we truly want to be with you forever. Lets make a promise under the stars to meet soon and greet each other with smiles and stay together for a long time, we are one after all.
The Six Hundred Forty days countdown hasn't even began yet and it already feels like its going to take forever. Just know that my heart is always concerned about you, no matter how far away you are. I really am looking forward to the day I see you perform again.
My words are overflowing but I'll end this here. Baekhyun-ah until now, I've been drawing strength from you, but now I hope the thought of us waiting for you gives you nothing but strength.
Serve with pride and I expect to see my Baekhyun with his irreplaceable smile in the winter when the stars will fall like snowflakes to welcome you back.
I will see off my Genius Idol now, go do your duties as Byun Baekhyun.
Take Care, Stay Healthy and Come back Soon.
I love you, always and forever.
Love,
H
