Greetings from the future
Happy New Year my beloveds 🥳 So it's now half past midnight in South Australia and I just thought I'd reflect a little on 2023. If you care.
This past year, I -
Suddenly rejoined the fandom on a whim after almost 10 years, and I couldn't be more delighted with the results of that random burst of nostalgic inspiration.
Made some lovely online friends whom I care for dearly
Rekindled an old hobby! Since February, I've written probably around 1 million words of Hetalia fanfiction. Like literally.
Was diagnosed with an incredibly rare neurological disorder, which is not fun to cope with, but tested negative for most common genetic blood cancers!
Improved my relationship with my husband. He's more helpful and respectful now.
Discovered new music and aesthetics
Got a reliable job that I can stand and bought a sick pair of Doc Martens
Got a haircut that made me feel like a whole new person and repierced my tongue. Feeling like my punky self again and not trying to force an image to fit in with others.
Completed a quarter of a century on Earth.
Unfortunately didn't move of my MIL's, but also didn't crash any cars or lose any pregnancies, or organs for that matter! So that's an improvement. The only way to go is up!
I just wanted to say I'm so thankful for all of you for following me and enjoying my work, it means so much to me to have this community 💞💖💗 Always remember Meemaw love u

😤😮‍💨
I am once again venting below the cut, please enjoy this Jacqueline in the meantime:
Tumblr media
GOOD LORD!! CIRCULAR CONVERSATIONS ARE GENUINELY SOOO FRUSTRATING. I've had my new car for a WEEK and for a WEEK it's been the SAME SHIT between the hubbers and the MIL:
He mentions the car bc he's excited about it
She goes on an emotionally charged RANT about how concerned she is that we went and bought this car and how she's worried about all the debt we have and that we won't be able to "just vibe"
He assures her we went over everything (which we did) and that it's affordable for us (it being the bi-weekly payment)
It stops there. He laments to me. I reassure. I boost him the FUCK UP LIKE HE DESERVES TO BE! 😤
He brings up the car again with her in the hopes she'll be like I'm also excited about this for you!!
She instead once more lectures us on debt
He once again reassures her
He comes to me lamenting once more
I am stuck watching this circle and smacking my head against the wall
I love this man so much, and he does NOT deserve the shit his mother is giving him and I VERY MUCH DISLIKE that he is STILL SEEKING HER APPROVAL. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T BUY THE CAR FOR HIM!! WE BOUGHT IT FOR M E AND HE CO-SIGNED BC THE PAYMENT IS CHEAPER AND HE IS VERY EXCITED THAT WE HAVE A NEW, RELIABLE VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE FOR ME! HE'S HAPPY I'M SAFE!
And he's NOT explaining this bit to his Mom, and keeps being like w/e her opinion doesn't matter
BUT THEN THEY HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN
AHHHHHH
I hate circular arguments y'all. They make me want to explodE. My entire morning/afternoon has been reassuring the hubbers and trying to point out how the convo is circular bc he's looking for her approval and excitement but she is looking for Something Else BC she's worried about our finances. Guys, imma be real with you. This is an affordable payment for us. It's literally only coming out of MY PAYCHECK since it's MY CAR and they BOTH seem to be forgetting that and it's causing this stupid discussion that won't end until either:
He tells her he's heard her concerns and asks her what she's looking for (since despite his reassurances and walking her thru the process we went thru last weekend and showing her the numbers and how it all works out fine she STILL keeps voicing her concerns, to the point where I haven't even talked with her about it but am dying to yell WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO MARGE, GET RID OF THE CAR??? Because really, what WOULD you like us to do and it's presumptuous of you to assume we can't handle it and will need your help)
He tells her he's heard her concerns and asks her to just listen to his and please show some excitement because he's excited about it, so why can't you be
They let it die and never talk about it again the end OR
He understands that this is another one of those Margie being Margie scenarios and he's not gonna get her approval or excitement, and accepts that all he needs in this scenario is his OWN acceptance and excitement, and find a way to be OKAY with that
And I don't know how LIKELY any of these are going to be in the near future (and dw, I texted him that blurb already so hopefully it's on his mind and he makes good choices, good choices being either 1 or 4 bc this isn't gonna get resolved any time soon with my MIL's old fashioned REPRESS UR EMOTIONS ass 😤) so I am instead FUMING about situations OUTSIDE OF MY CONTROL bc as an outsider Incan see how it's going and after 4 years of therapy I can see what needs to be done bc I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
This situation has me so down it's making me wanna call and vent to my Mommy and that's how you KNOW it's yucky tbh
#dani speaks#dani vents#i don't often call my mom to vent these days bc she can be very similar to Richard's mom re: ur childs feelings#BUT MY GOD. I AM AT A LIMIT#anyway if u read the vent ty for reading I appreciate it 🩷#we'll be okay! i know Richard will read those options and see what's going on and choose what works best for the time being#BUT MY GOD WATCHING THE CROSSFIRE?? IS STRESSFUL#I'M LIKE#THIS IS SO STUPID GUYS PLZ#anyway if anyone wonders why I wrote blinter the way I did#THIS IS WHY. I THINK PARENTS SHOULD MAKE UP WITH THEIR ADULT CHILDREN AND UNDERSTAND THE TRAUMAS AND THINGS#AND BE SUPER SUPPORTIVE#I THINK PARENTS NEED TO STOP THE AGE OLD HANDING OVER OF TRAUMA TO THE KIDS#GENERATIONAL TRAUMA IS AO FRUSTRATING AND SO EASILY AVOIDABLE BUT IT DOES ENOUGH DAMAGE THAT IT KEEPS GOING!#FUCK THE CYCLE ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE CYCLE#and if anyone is wondering. i am VERY excited about the new car#being able to drive again without breakdown anxiety and in a car that isn't crumbling to dust around me#is STELLAR! I WANT TO CRY HAPPY TEARS! I HAVE MY FREEDOM BACK! THE MONEY WE'LL SAVE ON SUDDEN REPAIRS#IS GONNA BE SO NICE#I'm 😭😭😭#it's just so reliving and I feel so annoyed that MIL doesn't see it like that and is focusing on 'startung ur marriage out in debt'#sweetie. I've been paying student loans for 5 years. We were ALREADY starting with debt and our payment plan is FINE#WE HAVE JOB SECURITY#OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT#AND IF WE SUDDENLY DON'T#WE SELL ONE OF THE CARS#Boom. done.#ANYWAY. IMMA GO GROCERY SHOPPING NOW#BC I CAN BC MY CAR IS RELIABLE!! AH!#out of context jacquelines

Yo thank you so much to whomever suggested David's Bridal cuz I made an appointment on a whim and me and my mom and sister and future MIL had a grand time and I bought a gorgeous dress in my budget. I love it so much. Did not think I would buy one right away, but I don't think I'll find something that looks so much so affordably elsewhere.
Yayyyy that's one thing done.

Real Car Guy Story, Part 1
I feel like a Real Car Guy now, because what you are looking at is a new (used) EJ253. I surely did not install it myself!! But I made the decision to have it installed and paid 💸💸💸💸 for it, and I wanted to write down somewhere why I did this.
Backstory
I bought this car at 152,000 miles when it was just over 10 years old. I am its fourth or fifth owner, or something somewhat high, and one of those owners was an auction lot, where it hung around for several months unowned by anyone. It is now 16.5 years old, with 222,140 miles.
This car has burned oil the entire time I’ve owned it, though drivability-wise it’s never seemed to care. Oil burning is fairly typical for 100k+ engines, and even more so for Subarus. There are a few reasons, but I think the primary one is that the EPA sets MPG requirements--but AWD is less fuel efficient than 2WD, which makes it harder to hit the standard. Subaru responded by reducing friction in the engine, so that it takes less work to move the components. This means that as the components wear, oil can leak into the combustion chamber and burn. Industry standard across all makes is that burning 1qt of oil is within spec.
This spec is kind of BS, tbh, because you shouldn’t have to be adding a quart of oil every 1000 miles, but it is what it is and Costco-brand oil is cheap and tests well, so whatever. In the time that I’ve owned this car, it’s burned a quart of oil every 1500-500 miles (generally worse in winter/severe service). So that’s roughly 72,000 miles of trucking along like that.
Catalytic Converters
Unfortunately, it has also eaten through what is now multiple cats--catalytic converters. These are expensive--you may have noticed there’s a lot of news stories about their being cut and stolen, because their filters have a bunch of precious metals in them. So it’s not a great part to keep fouling and going through. Fouling a cat will set a P0420 code. 
For most cars, a P0420 is not going to do anything but illuminate your MIL. Your cat has to outright clog (rather than simply read out of spec) in order for anything noticeable to happen--unless you live in an inspection state, in which case a P0420 will fail you.
Last summer, I managed to outright clog a cat, which resulted in TROUBLED TIMES aka an asthmatic engine, and a complicated 100-mile tow back to my old mechanic shop, because I’d moved but that cat was still under warranty and I wanted it replaced for free under warranty. I was apprehensive about having to make small talk with a tow truck guy for 100 miles, but he was fun and we talked about his crappy Taurus and it was a good time until he tried to ask me out after the tow. I was like 🙃 I thought we were just having a nice conversation about cars but I guess not. 
Anyway, fast forward to just over a year later, and I trip the P0420 AGAIN, which means I’ve burnt out a cat in UNDER A YEAR. With EPA-compliant replacements running $1500-$2000, that’s not ideal. What to do?
Cost Comparisons
In the last 72,000 I’ve done some minor experimentation with oil and oil burning. I replaced the PCV valve (no dice), and have tried different brands of oil and synthetic vs. conventional, etc. One of my previous mechanics suggested a cocktail of oil additives to plump up worn seals in the engine to stop the oil burning, but I was basically just like, might as well do the full engine and stop messing around.
I recognize that engine replacement is not a regular, normal-person repair--not for a stock, standard issue family vehicle with 222k+ on the chassis and an entire lifetime in the saltbelt (almost 17 years). But I really think it made sense in this instance, because:
1) Love: I love this car; I prefer this body style, which Subaru no longer makes; I remain leery of both CVTs and screen-based infotainment systems; and tbh it all smacks of planned obsolescence to me. Plus, if I’m going to buy a newer car, I don’t want it to be an ICE car--I think electric is the future and ideally I want to run this car until it makes sense for my next one to be electric or plug-in hybrid. But for my needs, and for how I drive, and for where I live, the infrastructure for that is not yet where I want it to be.
2) Neurotic Recordkeeping: I’ve built a really strong maintenance history for this year over the last 72k miles. I know how it drives, I know what work it’s had done, I know the history and condition of a panoply of random things that would not come up in a used-car inspection. And I know these things over time--the oil consumption, for example. I could’ve bought basically the same car for less than an engine and cat replacement, but who’s to say what else it might need or what kind of car it is? And I know this car regularly has its oil levels checked; I check the condition of all the fluids visually and with test strips. I know how it’s been driven, and I know whether the maintenance intervals have been respected. (I’ll return to this in Real Car Guy Story, Part 3, because LOL F ME). 
3) Clean Chassis in a Hostile World: For a 16.5-year old r u s t b e l t car, the chassis is very solid. It’s a clean car. And maybe if you live somewhere else you can make that assumption, but you can’t here.
For these reasons, I felt like this is what made sense for me. Maybe it wouldn’t have if I didn’t trust this car, or know it well. And maybe it wouldn’t have if I were excited about a newer vehicle, or if it was financially unwise to sink so much money into something all at once. But I do love this car and I did have the money--and I used it to play for keeps, rather than to ensure that I had a set of wheels that’d be reliable for another 3-5 years.
How many years do I think I’ve given myself? I’m aiming for another 10, would grudgingly accept another 5, could easily see another 20 (though probably not as my primary vehicle).

I accidentally ran into some of my past life the other day.
The house we bought last year is very, very close to my ex in-laws place, my dad's house is also very close as well and this is one of the best (but expensive) places to live in my city. He is aware how close but it's not close enough where I'd run into anyone.
Anyways, I opened Nextdoor for the first time in awhile and the first post I see is my ex MIL selling a bunch of stuff, apparently they are cleaning out the garage.
Long story short, I found out their eldest son, my ex's brother is getting married in February. I assumed someone was getting married because they don't clean stuff up like that. Someone sent me their engagement/ wedding ceremony video and I couldn't help but watch it. I saw everyone for the first time in 3-4 years, (except his brother, I'd never met him in person). Well, my ex looks like literal shit. He became massively overweight at the end of the marriage, he has not lost any weight and as this video was from a year ago, he's pushing 35. In the video he looks high and out of his mind, which with his condition, this is normal. But what hit me most was he had aged sooo badly his drug use and smoking has dissolved all his good looks, especially in comparison to his brother. His brother is a year older- and looks my age. All the photos I had seen of him he was extremely overweight and although a foot shorter looked, identical to my ex when they both have beards. Before my husband was the one who knew how to dress, do his hair, clothes, and other grooming. His brother was the awkward looking one. In the video, the few shots he was in he stands out, not just because of his height, but because he is dressed in black (everyone else is wearing neutral or white colors), hair is disheveled, crazy eyed, and clearly not present in reality.
How the tables have turned. The irony is also not lost on me how my ex husband is or at least was a very talented photographer and editor, someone else did all their wedding photos and videos.
My ex is literally evil, part of it is mental illness as he has done so many drugs for so long he has destroyed his brain and behaves like a paranoid schizophrenic. When he's on drugs he is full out paranoid and very violent. I have had no contact with him in years and have no intention of finding out how he is and I don't care. He is incapable of getting his life together, living on his own, or holding a job- he cannot even remember passwords or where he put his lighter last without it being a conspiracy. He will be living with his parents until he ends up in jail, they pass way, or he dies.
I feel sorry for this woman as I was in that family and the family isn't that much better. There was a lot of domestic violence in the house as it's a cultural thing, it was made worse by my ex but his brother would still get involved and yell at him though the phone and threaten to fly there and beat him up. His brother lives 3 hours away and them getting married will likely have little to do with dealing with my ex husband because I'm sure his brother would never let his future wife be around him for long. On top of being a generally bad person in every way imaginable, my ex husband is a creep and pervert, which his brother knows better than I do. I was pretty shocked he was willing to have him there for this.
My husband used to bully him relentlessly over the phone and text while demanding money from him saying things about how he is less of a man than him because of his various sexual exploits and telling me inappropriate things about his brother while his brother was on the phone. I know stuff about everyone that I should never know and my ex had no problems telling his family, especially his brother, stuff about me that's not exactly appropriate as well to humiliate him. Everyone in that family knew the extent of the abuse he put me through, they heard it or saw it first hand, or knew about it after I ran away from him multiple times and they all talked me into going back (not so much his sister, she ignored me most of the time, which is another issue). One time my ex showed me texts where he was taunting his brother and his brother responded with saying he knew about what he had done to me (this was in regards to a physical attack) and some other stuff.
When stuff got really bad, I confided in my cousin, who turned around and decided to message his sister (I don't know how she got her name or information) and told her basically everything, I'm fairly sure she also messaged his brother (however he didn't call his mother to complain about it like his sister did).
I was very close to my former MIL, she liked me very much, even to the point of telling his brother that she hopes he married someone like me, as initially everyone was extremely hostile to me, especially him.
It also bothers me that a few months ago, someone using a unique name my former MIL uses on her social media, liked a video from my honeymoon. The app lists this person as "someone you may know" most likely meaning it's someone with my phone number in their contacts. I know she never deletes a number, and this is confirmed as she butt dialed my dad last year. This account isn't connected to her phone number but I'm 1000% sure it's her and it freaked me out for weeks and still does. I remember I walked into the DMV (just happened to be the one where she works) to change my first name after getting the court order. She saw me, I had not seen or talked to her in months, she pulls me out of a three hour line so glad to see me, does the name change stuff for me, talks to me some. I leave a few minutes later she calls me back and apologizes that I need to come back because she forgot employees can't do stuff for friend or family members. She wanted me to come back and she would get her coworker to sign everything instead of her. She was apparently so shocked to see me she forgot the rules of her work place apparently. So her checking up on me makes sense. Not sure why she liked the video though, she would know I know who that is...
Anyways, this has very much disturbed my mental health as it always does when anything related to my ex husband comes up. I basically fall into a black hole of wondering why, and needing to know things, and everything starts coming back to me from that year and a half I was with him- which I guess is pretty proportional to the extreme level of trauma from the abuse I experienced.
My current husband also knows about all of this. He has zero sympathy for me and what I experienced, tells me I deserve what I got after running away to be with him and not immediately leaving after I knew how bad he was. When this stuff comes up, he likes to tell me to go back to him or asks if I want to go back and live like trash. One of my biggest regrets was ever telling my husband what my ex husband did as he thinks it's a game to threaten me and tell me how much worse that makes me, which was one of my greatest fears ever after this happened.

The Start of My Handmade Year (1/6/15)
While I was checking out some new blogs before work yesterday, I stumbled across the blog Rebecca Bee Designs. And she is starting "Year of handmade: Craft blog prompts" and I decided to join her. She has it was there is 24 prompts so enough for 2 a month, and I'll be posting my responses at the beginning and end of each month. (So this week is going to a little post heavy if everything goes right.) So welcome to my handmade year!
1. In the beginning: how did you get into the craft?
Where to begin? I have many crafts so it's hard to decide on which one to start with. But here we go:
Cross-stitching-
I actually started this when I was a child, my mother is really into cross-stitching so my sister and I got into it too. I did a few small projects but I also had help starting something or I didn't finish something. But late summer/ early fall, I think, I bought a cross-stitching kit from Wal-mart and some small kits from Joann's.
Knitting-
My sister taught me how to knit when I was 12 or 13 years old. She had taught herself from one of those kits you would get from Wal-mart. But I had put it down for a few years because I got frustrated that none of my projects look remotely close to the pictures it was suppose to be. But my last year in high school or a year after I figured out what was wrong and picked up knitting and haven't stop since.
Crocheting-
Again this was something my sister taught me. When she was in college she went to a yarn store and learned how to crochet, then she came home and taught me when I was 16 years old. I had taught myself how to chain but could not for the life of me get past that part. That's pretty much what I was doing during the break period of my knitting, so my hands were still busy.
Painting-
I also liked to paint when I was a child but I was very serious about it until 2 years ago. My mother-in-law is really into painting and got start in going to a paint night at the local Visual Arts Center, so the day or two after Jordan and I moved down here, she took me to my first class. Then it just took off from there. Jordan and I did a few class together with her and just the two of us. I haven't been to a class and year, but I have a supply of canvases, brushes, and MIL's paint near me so I can paint whenever I get inspiration.
Spinning-
I taught myself how to spin on a drop spindle about a year ago. I would love to learn how to spin on a wheel, but in our situation I don't see a wheel in my future right now. I really love spinning it's really relaxing.
Drawing-
I've always drawn small pictures growing up, I just really got into improving that skill this past year.
How did you get into your crafts?Sam <3

Title: Catch
-
(thoughts are in italics and bold!)
I sit in the backseat of Pope’s truck listening to trees rustling and the tires driving over the old rocky pavement.
They seriously need to get this road redone.
“Guys, this has gotta be done before my scholarship interview in the morning” Pope says.
I roll my eyes.
Will he ever shut up about that?
Like, he’s smart as fuck.
You’ll get a scholarship somewhere.
“Oh my god, Pope” i say, making it clear i’m annoyed.
“What, Y/N?”
“Guys, no fighting” kiara adds while reaching for her seatbelt buckle.
Okay mom.
Pope parks his truck near some trees.
We all unbuckle our seatbelts quickly and hop out.
Pope and Kie are talking about the plan to get the gold.
I hate that John B gets into this shit.
This is exactly how our dad died.
He can’t die or I’ll have no one.
I walk to the back of the truck and slip my phone into my back pocket.
I lean against the truck while Pope and Kie talk.
I shoo away some nats.
“Damn nats” I say as I kill one.
I hear Kie laugh a little.
Suddenly a shit ton of lights come on around us.
We hear a whirring sound.
“What the hell?” Pope says.
I look over to them and back at the lights.
“Who the hell is that?” kie adds.
We all begin walking towards the center of all the lights hoping to find whoever the fuck did this.
I walk behind them and we hear a cork pop.
I cross my arms and nearly trip over a stick.
We stop and I see it’s my boyfriend, JJ Maybank.
“What did you do JJ?” Pope asks him clearly concerned.
JJ smiles a little, “i’ve got a jet going straight in my butt right now.”
“Y’all should get in immediately, you hear me?”
He grabs three glasses and pours the champagne.
I can tell he’s avoiding looking at me.
“Salud!” he says as he raises the champagne.
“How much did this cost?” Pope asks.
I look back and forth between Pope and JJ.
“Uh. well, with the generator, the petrol, and oh, hey, express delivery...uh, i’d say pretty much all of it”
“All of it?”
“Yeah, all of it”
He looks over at me and then back at Pope.
“You spent all of the money in one day?”
“Yeah, burned a hole right through my pocket. But I mean like, come on guys, like, look at this! Finest in jet-based massage therapy, at least that’s what they told me.”
I stare at JJ with a look of disappointment.
JJ looks over to me.
“Babe, what?” JJ asks.
“Can’t a man have a little luxury in his life! C’mon, all this scrimpin’ and scrapin’..i mean like...guys, we- y’know you only live once, right?” JJ says.
I look at Pope and Kie.
“Like, y/n couldn’t you use some fun in your life? You’ve been all down and shit since your-” he stops himself before finishing his sentence.
Asshole.
“Alright, enough of this emotional shit. Get in the cat’s ass. Come on.” he adds.
“In the what?” Kie asks.
“...in the cat’s ass. That’s what i named her” JJ says while looking off to the side.
It’s quiet for a maximum of 3 seconds.
“Oh, hey, yo, i almost forgot-”
JJ reaches forward and flips a switch and it turns on some disco ball.
“Yeah, that’s right, i know. Disco mode, baby” he says.
“Are you kidding me?!” Pope says in an agitated tone.
“You could’ve paid for restitution!” Pope yells.
“Or literally given it to any charity!” Kie adds.
“Or added it to a fucking fund to get the hell out of here!” i yell.
JJ looks right at me.
“Or bought supplies to get the rest of the damn gold out of the well!” (pope)
JJ turns away and rubs his face.
“Okay, well, you know what?” JJ yells.
He stands up revealing purple and red marks on his stomach.
All these different thoughts began racing through my mind and I could feel my heartbeat speeding up.
Oh my god.
He said things were getting better at home.
...i’m gonna kill that motherfucker.
How can he do that shit to his own fucking kid?
Maybe it’s a good thing my mom dipped and my dad’s dead.
“I didn’t do that!” JJ yells.
“I got a hot tub! For my friends- you know what? No, screw friends. I got a hot tub for my family!”
I look at him and tears start forming.
He looks over to me.
“And, I got something especially for you” he says as he reaches into his swim trunks pocket.
I look at him and he pulls out something small.
“Catch” (JJ)
I open my hands and catch a ring in my hand.
I take a look at it.
It’s not just any ring.
It’s a gargantuan engagement ring.
Holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit
I look up at him.
“JJ…”
It’s silent for a few seconds.
I walk over to the hot tub and step on the ladder.
I get inside with him as he rants about ‘everything being fine’.
I pull him into a tight hug.
He starts crying into me.
“I love you” i whisper into his ear.
I rub his back.
It’s quiet as we hug.
Kie and Pope get in with us and we all hug JJ.
“I just wanna do the right thing and I thought-” he says.
“We know, we know. It’s okay, love” i say.
After a few minutes JJ calms down and Pope and Kie leave us.
*now sitting on the edge of the hot tub talking to JJ*
I mess with the ring in my fingers.
“JJ...I don't need some fancy ring” i say.
“I know, but I wanted such an..important ring to be nice”
I look over at him.
“So, this is an engagement ring?”
He smiles at me and nods.
“I know we’re still teenagers and...obviously you can’t exactly get parental consent. Plus, John B would totally kill me if we got married this young. But, we can still be engaged.” he says.
I smile at him and look back down.
“You know, you haven’t asked me”
He sighs and laughs softly.
He takes the ring from out of my hand and looks at me.
“Alright, Y/N Routledge, will you make me literally the happiest man in the world and marry me in a few years?”
I smile at him and bite my lip a little.
“Definitely, one thousand percent”
He smiles and grabs my left hand softly.
He slips the ring onto my ring finger and then places his hand on my face.
We kiss a couple times before I pull away.
I look at the ring on my finger.
Holy shit.
I’m like...engaged now.
What the fuck?
I contain my excitement and just smile.
“So, we could get married when we turn 18...or whenever using our share of the 400 mil and then get the fuck out of here. Away from the obx, away from the pogue bullshit, just...everything” he says.
I stare at him for a few seconds.
“Okay, as long as we can get a dog”
He smiles and nods.
“Named willow?”
“Of course, whatever you want” he says.
I smile at him and we kiss again.
We continue our night together and eventually head to my house.
-
Hope you enjoy!
Once again, request whatever you would like.

Selfies for the lovely @runningfromthecuccos and @120-is-plenty ☺️ you get one of me and a profile shot of my mini wearing his Schrute Farms onesie. I swear I could stare at his chubby cheeks forever!
It’s snowing here again today, which I love. Especially since we’re stuck at home for the most part anyway and wouldn’t be going out even if we could, being snowed in is just fine. We bought our house in 2017 and this is by far the snowiest winter we’ve seen here so far. The big storm last week brought us about 2 feet, and we’ve had a few inches on several days since. We’re gonna get another 3” today and snow is forecasted for most of the upcoming week. Bring it on!
My MIL is coming to visit this weekend. She’ll be the first family member to meet Pep in person and I’m cautious, but overall honestly really excited. We’ve been waiting until he’s at least 4 weeks old for any visitors and we’re being really strict with who can visit, and with COVID precautions like masking and hand washing. My MIL tested positive for COVID like two days before Pep was born and so we talked to the pediatrician about her visiting. She quarantined for 10 days and the pediatrician advised we have her wait at least an additional two weeks after quarantine period, which we’re doing. But now that MIL has had it, strangely enough, we’ve been told she’s one of the “safer” people to come visit the bebe. Either way, this is the first grandchild on both sides of the family and the grandparents are all thrilled to meet him. My parents are set to get their vaccines soon, so we’re gonna wait til after they’re vaccinated to have them visit. I just can’t wait. Fingers crossed all goes well and everyone stays healthy. We’ll do all we can.
Speaking of that, we finally decided that B will be staying home for the foreseeable future. He works in a COVID hotspot in the city and we’ve set ourselves up financially so that once I have to return to work over the summer, he would stay home anyway to take care of Pep. We’ve always known we didn’t wanna do daycare if we could afford not to. The question became whether B should go back until June or July to work a few more months, but given the COVID risks and prioritizing the opportunity to be a little family all home together for a few months, we decided against it. It’s rare that we’ve gotten to have time off work together because he gets zero vacation time and so we’re taking advantage. I’m really happy with the decision overall.
Random topic change. I’ve been having a mental debate on the topic of herbal tea while breastfeeding. Googling this stuff makes me almost instantly insane because of the sheer amount of information (opinion?) out there. Any other mamas do herbal tea while breastfeeding? Any hard and fast rules you followed, like herbs to definitely avoid, etc? Curious to see what others have done.

Bunny updates
I posted awhile back about a lot of different buns my wife has been collecting for me and we found quite a few over our weekend away.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This gal is part of some series of dolls (na na na suprise?) Anyway, they have this gal w/yellow bunny theme and a purple bunny too that I passed on. My friend got the panda, so it was kind of a “hey, we’re friends” kind of purchase, too. The doll itself is kinda creepy--plush more than plastic. The best part is the last image--a small little purse, like an oversized coin purse.
Tumblr media
A sign from a thrift store. It has the FNAF colors!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some thrift store plush buns. I’m trying to be more selective about them, but I keep finding cute ones!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Decorative buns! Got them from thrift / discount stores and the last one, the door stopper, from TractorSupply. I got a cute metal sign as well, but forgot to get a picture of it. The sign will go in my future garden, so I guess I’ll share it then. I was particularly proud of the plaster bun in the middle as I specifically bought it as my first decor item for our house (which we are now hopefully buying since we weren’t able to build in the area we wanted). I wanna be that yard with a million bunny skeletons on Halloween =XD
Tumblr media
I saw this and got it for so many reasons. I do think these sets by this company are overpriced--I used to stock them at a big box toy store before it went out of business... So for one of the best jobs I had, it was kinda nostlagiac. I collected a lot of these style animals as a kid, too. But the best part for me was the rabbit pen, because I remember researching them for my abandoned horror game when I had to make a room full of these and use some tricky stuff to get the cage doors to appear over the rabbit sprites--all in all it’s an amazing effect and ugh, I wish I could have finished the game.
As I said, I was out of town and well, I’m unsure if we’re getting the house on top of the fact that I’m not sure if my MIL is spiky-round-boi sick or just worn out from a long few days. I don’t know how these things will impact my life going forward in terms of free time, considering I may have a month and a half to move or be tied up with the issues I mentioned... thank you all as always for the patience. You’re support for my art, shitposts, and fanfics has been phenomenal as always!
I’m just glad to be back home... as much as I like getting away from the city to see the woods, I really miss my furbabies and my own bed.
I’m going to try and get some writing done tomorrow and get the ending of Resurrection Seeker churned out and edited. Thank you to all the new followers! =:3

Thoughts on 2gether ep9
I am officially elevating Sarawat’s to Dean’s level of boyfriend excellence
this is some god tier boyfriend material, ladies and gentlemen
I swear to god if you fuck me over, show, I will never again watch anything live EVER
also I’ll probably haunt you from beyond the grave for all eternity
ANYWAY
I like that they dont show the actual fighting part of the scenes because fight scenes can get a bit much sometimes when the camera is just constantly showing one perso getting punched over and over
and when that person happens to be one of my babies it’d be ever harder to watch
“they need to be taught that they cant lay a hand on someone so important to me” SEE DEAN LEVELS OF EXCELLENCE
I cant deal with how GENTLE Wat is while taking care of Tine’s wounds
and the fact that he’s COMPLETELY focused on Tine and doesnt even bother looking after himself
my fucking heart
and he even bought him everything he needs to stay over I love them so much
aww, Wat saw Tine was cold and gave him his blanket... and himself
“I dont know what’s behind this but right now I’m more interested in what’s in front of me” *smooth criminal starts playing in the background*
also the slow eye-fucking? Poetic cinema, your honor
wait
wait WAIT
DID TINE
DID TINE JUST SAY WHAT I THINK HE SAID
HOLY
I NEED A MOMENT
Tumblr media
HE SAID IT HE SAID SARAWAT’S FIRST WORDS BACK TO HIM I AM NOT OK
AND THEN THEY JUST CUDDLE AND GIGGLE LIKE LITTLE KIDS AND I AM NOT OK 2.0
Tine is so pampered now like all he has to do is make a vague gesture of discomfort and Sarawat’s like what is it what do you need I will literally die for you???
goddamn the contrast between Wat’s aggression towards Mil and the INCREDIBLE gentleness with which he covers Tine with his jacket
THE CONTRAST I tell you
I love how Wat’s friends immediately back him up
oooh Phukong saw the whole thing so now he’s suspicious of Mil, niiice
(I still dont think Mill was one of those guys who attacked Wat and Tine but he did fuck up on his own in this ep)
get you a man who think you’re cute enough even without make up
and brings you snacks because he knows you didnt wat anything today
I love how Tine makes him promise not to play because he’s worried and Wat LISTENS to him this boy be so whipped and we love it
I like how Phukong is starting to realise what’s going on but he wants to hope Mil sint the kind of person he suspects him of being now
god fucking damn, the way Wat puts Tine and his well-being first no matter his own situation is just so
Tumblr media
how he wouldnt leave Tine’s side the whole time even to see a doctor about his own injuries because he wanted so much to be there and take care of Tine
this boy is too much for my poor heart
ok ok I LOVE that we’re continuing the convo between Tine and Fong from last ep about Tine’s feelings and how Fong explains his thought process on the whole thing and how now he thinks maybe Tine isnt just overwwhelmed by Wat’s flirting yeeeess, good character moments love it so much
also I totally called it last week *cough cough*
*girl spills Tine’s drink* Fong, clearly secretly a genius and also the only one with possession of The Braincell(TM) at all times: if you wanted it, why didnt you hold on to it firmly?” *camera stays on Wat’s face the entire time*
in this house we love metaphors and foreshadowing
this whole scene is glorious
awww, it’s so precious how Tine and the rest of the club are now standing up for Wat and offering to perform in his place
Wat: P’Dim is crazy to let Tine perform” *P’Dim walks by at that exact second*
I will never get tired of everyone roasting this poor bastard
Wat and Tine literally spent this entire scene buckering like an old married couple(TM) and Wat’s like will you marry me; honey, the train has left on that front YOU ARE MARRIED ALREADY
they’re arguing how to name the guitar like they’re picking a name for their kid
there’s something so intimate about Wat sleepy in bed while Tine practices next to him like I cant even explain it properly but it IS
HOLY SHIT PHUKONG IS THE MAN GOOD JOB BABY
and in that moment Mil learned an important lesson - karma was a bitch and so was his future boyfriend
omg Wat is so fucking precious trying to cheer Tine up with that movie idea PRECIOUS BABY I LOVE HIM
I’m loving Green so much more now and how he tries to help Tine when he gets on stage
Tine’s smile though when he sees Wat there and Wat immediately starts mouthing the lyrics along because of course
so they’re moving in together next ep, huh? makes sense honestly
and I’m not even kidding :D
now off to let Why R U destroy me D:

What made you start readung tarot? And how can I start too?
great question! thank you for asking. 💕
i’ve always been curious about spirituality as a whole ever since i dealt with a spirit attachment. i never doubted spirits were real, but witchcraft was a huge no. if it couldn’t be scientifically explained, i didn’t care for it.
i turned spirituality away until i met my mother in law (i didn’t know she would become my MIL then 🤣). she was the one that peaked my interest in astrology. she had books on astrology, what it was, and how it worked. i started to dabble into that, until i found tarot and numerology. astrology made sense to me, but tarot not so much. i tried many times to learn the suits but failed to keep up with it.
i went to a spirituality convention with some friends and paid for a tarot reading. i was going through something pretty traumatic that she would have NO clue about, and she hit it right on the nail. before that, i had trouble believing tarot is real, until that moment. i was captivated by how she could know by reading some pretty pastel cards.
people say it’s a calling, but ultimately i just had a random urge to find a witchcraft store and bought my deck. call it a calling, i guess? but really the more you think about it, the more it occupies your mind. you already took the first step asking, there’s no harm on trying it out.
my biggest piece of advice is baby steps. i recommend meditating or the very least chakra clearing before you start. meditating before readings is a must for me. i like to prepare myself by meditating and clearing out any bad thoughts, cleansing and opening my chakras, and cleansing any bad energy around me or my cards. i go in with the mindset of having the purest intentions, or you won’t receive good readings.
first and foremost, LEARN THE SUITS. if it’s easier, learn their general meaning so you have an idea what type of message you’re working with. tarot is like a puzzle, you need to figure out the message by putting pieces together. suits give you general clues about details and energy the message is portraying!
numerology ties in with tarot. i’d get familiar with it, you can start to give more detailed readings when you know a decent amount of numerology.
learn their elements. each suit (and card) has elements (like fire, earth, water, air). each element has their own energy. again, more details!
depending what type of reading you’re doing, pay attention to imagery. in general, it can tell a deeper story if you pay attention. especially if your looking for physical details for a certain reading!
DONT BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU GET A DIFFERENT READING FROM YOUR FAVORITE BLOG. tarot can be interpreted in so many ways, that is whats beautiful about tarot! people’s energy is always changing.
“what do i do if i get spreads that don’t make sense?” don’t panic. when i do, it’s my guides telling me that energy is not meant for me to pick up yet. give yourself a break, reading is sometimes very draining. don’t waste your energy on a reading that isn’t meant for you. this could mean a number of things. it could mean whoever’s energy you’re trying to reach is blocked, theyre well protected, energy could be messy, the question you’re asking is too vague, it’s a work in progress... etc. fatigue after readings is normal. after all, you’re soaking in everyone’s energies and messages. be kind and gentle to yourself. baby steps.
another thing you could do if you’re not getting a clear message is rephrasing your questions! instead of, “what should i do next?” ask “what steps should i take that will help me be more successful?”.
tarot is a never ending learning process. so many messages, so many interpretations. protect yourself from bad energy, be real with yourself and future clients, learn everything you can about tarot. i wish you the best of luck on your journey, babes! 💕 i’m always here if you need!

Ended MIL's career after she ruined our lives
CONTEXT:
I've posted a bit about my fiance's adoptive mother, "Susan", in the last couple weeks (mostly on justnomil, where I might cross post this to later), but for anyone unfamiliar with Susan, she was my lecturer when I was at university.
Susan hated that I was dating her adopted son (biological nephew) since she found out about us. When we first told her we were dating she tried to kill me via allergy (another story for another day) and after she found out I was pregnant she stalked us, impersonated me, and broke into our flat, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. She made our lives hell, to the extent where we no longer felt safe in our own home, and my fiance and I had to move across the country to escape her.
We've been living in our new place for a little under a week. The baby is due in a couple of months and everything is mostly ready. We've deactivated our social media, created new emails, and changed our numbers. Only a few friends and relatives from the town she lives in (which we left) have our new numbers. We had to leave our entire lives, and everyone we knew and loved behind, while I was 7 months pregnant, because we couldn't trust her around our baby.
REVENGE:
On Monday, an email was sent from the dean to Susan's graduating students saying Susan was being considered for a promotion, from lecturer to head of department, and they wanted to hear from her students first. The aim of this was to receive glowing recommendations to give to the board. This was not the result.
As I changed my email, I hadn't seen this. One of my friends who had my new number and was on the course with me did see the email, and on Tuesday he gave my new number to the dean, saying that he would only give her the number in person, on paper, and only if she agreed to ring when she was alone and throw out the paper and erase it from the logs after (if she was calling from a university phone then the number would go on the call logs that were accessible by all members of staff), but he assured her that this was something she'd want to hear before promoting Susan.
So I got this call from the dean on Tuesday. She told me what was going on (my friend hadn't had time to get in touch before she rang), and she asked me why my friend thought I should speak to her.
I told her everything.
I started 2 years ago, when I met Susan's son, the man who would become my fiance and the father of my child.
I told her about Susan poisoning me via allergy after finding out about me and her son, and the epi pen incident.
I told her about the outside of class harassment I received post pregnancy announcement (impersonating me, crashing GP appointments, breaking in, ect).
I told her about the in class harassment (telling me to break up with my fiance, stopping lectures until I left, throwing out my food and drink, trying to reschedule exams, and more).
I told her about the last time I saw Susan in person, when she tried to hit me while I was 7 months pregnant with her grandchild.
I told her about having to move away (I was careful not to give a location or distance) and filing a restraining order to escape Susan. (I thought the uni were made aware of the RO but apparently not)
Fiance then arrived home from work and when I told him what was happening, he was all too eager to chime in with stuff I forgot (copying keys, punching the landlord, cancelling orders, going through our things). He also told the dean about the abuse he got from her growing up.
We also gave the dean the names of people willing to support our story, as well as some dates, times and locations of on campus incidents (I'd made a note of a few of them) so she could pull CCTV from the campus security recordings.
Fiance also told her the story of one of his cousins (Susan's bio kid) who got close with a guy on Susan's course, but the guy was told to break up with her by Susan with a thinly veiled threat against his academic career. We also told the dean about Susan telling me to break up with my fiance and vice versa so she could "better maintain professionalism".
The dean was horrified.
She had me and my fiance record a video, where we said everything all over again, from the top. We made sure the video had nothing to identify location, and we were assured Susan would never see it. We also sent her all the proof we had alongside it. This was all forwarded to the board on Wednesday and Thursday. She asked my friend for the number again and just called me for the second time, telling me that the board unanimously agreed this was grounds for Susan's dismissal.
They said that while the outside of uni events weren't really their business they go towards her character, and the fact that as department head, she would represent the department, whether she was on the clock or not. They said even without this, the events that happened inside of uni alone (stopping lectures, telling me to dump my fiance, telling that other guy to leave her daughter alone, throwing out my stuff, seeking special treatment on grounds of nepotism) were all abuses of power and enough to justify Susan's dismissal.
They asked me why I hadn't filed charges, and I said all I'd gain from filing charges is Susan staying away from me, and the RO and moving away has the same effect. Plus as it's exams season my tutor work is really taking off and I don't have the time to go through a whole court case, and I'll have even less time once the baby arrives. The baby is due in about 8 weeks and Susan has already caused me enough stress.
Tomorrow, in the meeting where Susan is fully expecting to be told she got her promotion, the dean is now going to give her a week to hand in her resignation. If she refuses, she will be fired. If she does not hand in her resignation, she will be fired. She will not be getting a reference. The only reason she is being given the option to resign is that she has worked at this university for nearly a decade, but if she so much as raises her voice in the meeting tomorrow, she will be fired. Security will be present for the meeting, in case she tries anything.
Meanwhile, the friends we left behind aren't hesitating to tell anyone who will listen all about what Susan did during the course of mine and my fiance's relationship. There's not a single soul left in that town who trusts her or will take her side if she tries to fight back, not even her husband, who told us that now all their kids are over 18, he will be initiating divorce proceedings.
I don't feel even a little bit bad. I know there's a chance I went too far but I didn't lie, or embellish anything, I just gave the dean the facts as they are. Everything is 100% true and while it was me who told the dean, I see this as Susan's actions having consequences. Susan has more than enough money to pay for herself for the foreseeable future, she owns her home (her husband's name is not on the deed and she bought it before they got married so she will get the house in the divorce as it's not technically a shared asset, or one acquired during their marriage), she will have a roof over her head and money in her bank account, and if she wanted to she could get another job, just probably not one as a lecturer.

ok sorry that this is a dumb question but re: taylor not re-recording her old songs...i get that if she does, sb 300 million dollar purchase essentially becomes worthless. but what's the alternative? taylor purchasing them for more than 300mil so that sb still profits? i feel like this sounds sassy i'm just genuinely confused lol like sb isn't gonna be like yeah ok just have em for free. but your/others' thought is that at this point he would take less than 300 mil for them?
omg hi i'm sorry for not answering this sooner!! but yes scooter isn't just going to give them back. and i doubt taylor would be willing to pay 300 million, she could re-record for a lot less. but logically he WOULD sell her masters for less bc (correct me if i'm wrong, but from my understanding) he bought BMR for 300 million which includes a hell of a lot more than just taylor's masters (granted not a lot more value, but value nonetheless). but to put a price on just taylor's masters??? i'm not sure what that might be. the only other way they could make some sort of agreement is if taylor agrees to do something for scooter in return for him giving back the masters or threatens scooter w the promise of doing something if he doesn't give back the masters (re-recording or....maybe even coming out and taking karlie w her??). or maybe if one or more of scooter's clients (ariana/karlie) threaten to leave him if he doesn't give them back. it's all but confirmed that taylor's absolute hatred of scooter stems from his obvious hold over karlie considering his connection to the kushners and we know that from his dealings w the carlyle group. it's widely thought that taylor was going to come out at world pride on the day that the masters news broke, scooter and the kushners do not want taylor or karlie to come out bc if they do karlie will have no reason to stay involved w scooter or josh bc they will have nothing over her anymore, which loses them lots of money. and on the other hand, if karlie or ariana leave scooter, that is another big loss of income for him. it would be a toss up between him losing how ever much taylor's masters are worth (in the hundreds of millions for sure, not sure if it's $300 million tho) vs losing all future income from ariana and karlie and any future clients that are deterred from working w him.
