(these are all true about me btw, let's see what we have in common :3)

BEING SHOT HAD STUNG LIKE A BITCH. maybe that's precisely why it seemed as if everything about him these days was so damn slow or.. maybe it was those damn pain killers that they had given him at the farm. regardless, when was the last time that he had slept properly or .. more than an hour or two? he had no clue and.. maybe, that was why he found himself dozing off, even in public, only waking up when someone touched his shoulder. or rather.. jumping? "shit! i'm.. huh... i did not mean to.. shit. i know this is no place for sleeping but i can't remember the last time i got a good night's sleep, so.. yeah, that happened." (@walstarterblog)

hwevent16 - the maze

ben & han ( @rcvcrics ) prompt 11 - monster ( a rat with a gun )

ben blinked a few times. "is that-" he paused, brow furrowing slightly as he looked at his dad and then back to whatever he was seeing. "is that a rat with a kriffing gun?" he asked. "if that attacks us and one of us get shot by a fucking rat, I swear - we tell no one," he didn't want to need to explain that one to anyone. they'd probably never live it down.

"GOOD, YOU'RE AWAKE, IT'S.." edgar was livid. that little bastard was going to regret the day that he had decided to bring a gun out on his farm and to hurt someone that was as good as family already - eh, not really, but cecilia was and by association.. so was sears - and.. whenever he saw him next? yes, he would be tempted to throw him in one of the cells in the lower, lower, lower level and throw away the key. how the hell had this happened? "i'm afraid that i have some bad news. your mother didn't want me to tell you until you were feeling better, but.. I THINK THAT YOU DESERVE TO KNOW. mr. sears? parker? he was.. hurt. shot. and by hurt, i mean.. severely hurt," edgar sighed, shaking his head. how the fuck had this happened under his watch? "now, dearest, i know that you might be tempted to do something about that, but.. i can assure you that he is in good hands. we're taking very good care of him and his.. injuries. i promise. all that you have to do is rest, hm? that and stay here, because.. your mother will have my head if i let you run around the farm." @xtinyslip

today has been a day. some dumbass at the plasma center went nuts and knocked shit off the counters, slammed the glass doors, punched the glass. They made him leave and he brought his truck onto the sidewalk, revving and squealing tires. Thought he was about to fucking drive through the front door. Then, when they're on the phone with the police, i overhear them say he's on the other line and threatening to shoot the place up. We were put on a lockdown and i'm honestly still really shaky about it.

The guy never came back and didn't do anything, but still. this world is so fucked up and the people in it... don't get me started.

there's more to the story than this but I don't want to go into details here, but jesus fucking christ

@tragcdysewn ; vic & xiao qing: Monster: A rat with a gun

"is he going to shoot us?" vic questioned, glancing between the person she'd found herself stuck with and the rat in front of them "because that look on his face and the death grip on that gun makes me think he wants to shoot us. i can't get shot by a rat."

I ended up having to stop by my local mall which had a shooting incident recently, and needless to say I was Anxious

so sick of this school shooting threat shit. like every fucking week “oh some kid texted people he was gonna shoot up the school time to shelter in place for 10 minutes” like first of all if it was a fucking shooting that would do fuckall to help and secondly people need to grow up like threaten to burn all your homework or key someones car or shit stop just going hUrR dUrR iMmA sHoOt Up ThE sChOoL ugh. and now we get to have fucking police roaming our halls because theyll *definitely* help stop shootings and not just catch poc kids out disproportionately to white kids about dumb shit like selling snacks (/s ofc)

america burn in hell challenge

You should sweep the legs out from under that MF.

Don’t let him do that to you!

"Yeah, 'cause my ultimate goal in life is to get shot and have my brains goin' everywhere."

Its funny how different pain feels. Splitting headache that feels like my head is being crushed and all the soft tissue on my head silently screaming in agony? Don't get me wrong that's very much a ten but i can cope with that. Awful cramps for a couple hours from accidentally eating gluten (im intolerant)? Very ouch and I'll need a toilet nearby but I'll be ok in a bit. But my uterus cramping even slightly, like at the level of a kinda sore arm muscle? Takes me the fuck out. You might as well shoot me to release me from my misery. Absolutely can't take it. I will also get dizzy, sick, and have diarrhea too, and tbh the feeling sick is by far the worst part. Its so weird. My body will literally shut down, no circulation, lets faint times, in reaction to it. Its quite frankly ridiculous and no fun at all.

lylla was terrified of all the banging. it brought her back to that day when she had been... when she'd been shot. she cowered covering her ears with her mechanical hands. "please... make it stop." she pleaded, letting out small whimpers and squeaks as she shook her head. lylla looked up at the person nearby, eyes pleading with them. "do... do you know somewhere... safe?" she whispered, trying to keep herself from freaking out too much more.

"IT'S FREEZING. DID HE TURN OFF THE HEATER DOWN HERE OR SOMETHING?" looking around, because.. it seemed as if her lab had gotten way colder ever since the last time that he had been here. very, very carefully, he took off his jacket, before placing it over her shoulders with a grin. "THERE. NOT LETTING MY WIFE GO COLD ON MY WATCH. IT'S--" he had been doing very well when it came to hiding his injury from her, but.. mid sentence, he bent over, clutching his side. even talking hurt. he knew he had to tell her, but.. slowly, he raised his shirt up, so she could see the bandage on his side. "LYNN LOST HER SHIT AND.. WELL, ENDED UP SHOOTING ME. DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING IMPORTANT, BUT.. I'M OKAY. REALLY. I GOT BANDAGED UP AND I'M ALL GOOD NOW. you don't need to worry. just stings like a bitch. that's all." and it hurt, but.. he'd keep that to himself.

whumpy starter @parameddic didn't ask for

❝ TK- hey. sit down. come on, bud. ❞ a hand rests gently on the other's back, arms moving to help lower him to the ground. ❝ where'd they hit you? talk to me. ❞ eli places an open hand near his shoulder - it's where the most blood is. but it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the bullet hit.

TK isn't making this easy on him. he keeps trying to stand up, like he doesn't even realize what just happened. shock, probably. ❝ dude. sit still. you need to relax, okay? just look at me and breathe. ❞ eli had dealt with bullet wounds before. he was trained for this. but the bullet missing him by just a foot or two, the sight of his friend being hurt, it was hard to keep his composure.

EDGAR HADN'T BELIEVED THAT HE WOULD EVER SEE HER AGAIN. was that going to be.. a complicated case? yes, perhaps it was, because.. well, he didn't exactly know what he would do if he ever got his hands on alice cooper ever again. after all - the other had killed him. after all , she had shot him and.. no, he wasn't going to forget that. it was why one of the first things that he had asked betty was if her mother was here because he was very, very much intrigued in knowing that. of course, he hadn't gotten an answer from the other, but.. his contacts had found her - same as he had never stopped believing that they would. it was... simple, was it not ? "well, well. if it isn't alice cooper. or should i say.. smith? it's been a long time . "

deleted the post about the emotional impact of shootings on me because I don’t like having vulnerable stuff out there for everyone to see :/ If you interacted and expressed support and understanding, thank you, it genuinely means a lot to me.
