literally impossible to tell if im learning how to set boundaries and manage being pissed at fuckery with said boundaries or if i am just being an unreasonable bitch specifically because ive been anxious and cute and biddable for literal years and no longer actually know how to tell people to fuck off in a normal way.

It's the advocate system they have in several other countries!

I was gonna go on a long rant about it but fuck it, its to many words to basically just say I wish I had a mother who actually acts like she wants the kids she decided to raise. Its just so cool hearing about how much of a burden you are to her everytime she experiences a minor inconvenience (I am usually not even related to the minor inconvenience, just an outlet for the frustration)

*Bad thing happens*

*immediately gets told about how much they can't wait for you to not exist in their presence anymore*

Im sorry you're experiencing bay area traffic (hell), but also you DO probably know what I want to know about. It's the other classic bay area experience.. it's the boba fic 👀 (tbh I want to know all of them ofc but I feel like boba fic has won my loyalty. Obsessed with it)

THANK YOU to both of you for asking sorry I am replying to this a billion years late I am fortifying myself with a milkshake and answering some asks starting with this one. I don't actually remember what the meme said so I am just going to give you the outline of the plot

Mario Brent boba au...BASICALLY what if Brent broke up with Mario when he got traded to Carolina and he was a total dick about it bc he was like...the love of my life, my child bride, Mario Ferraro my one and only, he deserves a better life than taking care of some old ass broken down guy (Brent has at this point seen how Joe and Patty's bodies have just...internally combusted even tho externally they got hotter when they retired) and he's like I'm at the end of my career I CANNOT condemn a life of caretaking to the light of my life who is so young and so full of life. BUT HE'S A DUMMY BC MARIO WOULD CHOOSE HIM!! MARIO WOULD CHOOSE HIM EVERY TIME!! but he doesn't KNOW that so he breaks up with Mario in the worst timing (after sex) and leaves for North Carolina.

Mario obvi having the worst senior year of his life misses his boyf doesnt want to stay in the Bay doesn't want to move back to Toronto John is applying to Americorps in Arizona his life SUCKS....graduates and for several years he is so miserable having fucked up Grindr hook ups that are psychologically destabilizing, tries to have relationship or two with various SF boba baristas but he's just like i WANT my BOYFRIEND back. And Brent calls him at the worst possible times (drunk, after winning games, in the hammock in Sebastian Aho's backyard) and Mario never picks up and Brent never leaves a message which is even MORE destabilizing. Mario gets a job at Facebook and wants to die.

Then obviously the Canes win the cup and Mario is glued to the entire cup run obvi like it's BRENT he wouldn't miss this and when Brent raises the cup he like has to turn off the TV and go for a long walk in his dumb SF neighborhood that he doesn't even enjoy living in and ends up at the beach (ig he lives in Outer Sunset) and just stands in the water feeling miserable until he can't feel parts of his body and then goes home. Tries to sleep. Can't. Brent calls. He doesn't want to answer but he does.

This may be the one boba fic my dumbass GM can't nerf...I had another one abt Nick Cicek having a toxically bad hook up with Mario and then he must decide between Mario and Montana Onyebuchi. Then my dumb idiot GM traded Cheech and Montana refused to sign. This has happened to [checks notes] three different boba fics bc we simply cannot trust an NHL gm in this day and age...but Mario and Brent are already tragically separated so at least I have that going for me.

Maybe Mario's neighbors in his apartment in Outer Sunset are Mackenzie and Kaapo. And they own a purse dog named Magnus.....who's to say, really.

First of all: I GOT A JOB!!! I got laid off in September but I'm starting my new position in January! yay me.

Second (and more importantly): I never see people in personal finance/career advice circles talk about it, so I wanted to take a minute to shout out AmeriCorps! It's kind of like a USA-specific cousin of the Peace Corps, where you volunteer in some capacity for a year, but you're given a (modest) living stipend (and sometimes other benefits), plus at the end of your service year you can receive an education reward you can use for college tuition or student loan payments... or a straight-cash reward!

It's a great opportunity for networking and career growth as well. My mom served a decade ago and now I'm following her footsteps. 😌 If people are struggling to find work or need an income for a year while they plan their next move, AmeriCorps might be worth looking into!

CONGRATULATIONS, KIDDO! We're so fucking proud of you. You're on your way!

And thanks for shouting out the AmeriCorps! That's a great option for people and I'm so glad you're sharing your experience.

whenever i do something clumsy like trip over nothing or do the thing where you drop the thing youre holding but you keep catching it over and over and you're practically juggling it but it still ends up falling or yknow walk into a wall,, my brain immediately supplies me with "in my defense i was thinking about affirmative action"

also if youre still doing the ask meme :) ✨️⛔️🌞

haha amazing, love it!

from this:

✨️Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

aw, thank you!

ETA: completely forgot to actually give my fic a compliment, oops. i will say that i think the jokes in my fics are generally pretty funny!

⛔️ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

oh my god, so many. i don't post anything on ao3 unless i'm 100% sure it will be completed. off the top of my head:

the les mis fake dating pirate au

the les mis americorps au

the untamed student co-op au

most likely the stranger things student co-op au although i loved the concept; if anyone out there wants to write a stranger things student co-op au where the kids are all college freshmen and the older teens are all college seniors and they all live in a weird old house together, go forth u have my blessing

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

that is a great question! probably late afternoon. it's when i have free time but am not totally wiped out from the events of the day. i don't get much creative writing done after dinner anymore, although as i recall, i wrote large parts of World Ain't Ready that way. at the time, though, i lived alone so dinner was not a social affair, which made it easier to transition into writing.

This week I worked my final day as a park ranger with Virginia State Parks. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this journey as an Americorps member with VSCC in January 2020--that it would lead to experiences, mentoring, skills, connections, and opportunities that would utterly transform me as a person. I had no idea there would be a global pandemic, completely rewriting how most of the world worked for the next several years, while I was able to continue working safely (with just a few other people and almost entirely outside). I had no idea how bad the invasive plant problem is along I-81 (and everywhere else for that matter). I had no idea that after my service ended in D3, I'd get the chance to return to my favorite parks and people and projects as a resource specialist assistant. I had no idea how meaningful the opportunity to mentor young people in a one-on-one capacity would be, and how deeply moving it is to see them flourish as a result of what they learned working with our team. I had no idea how much free food there is in the forests of the Shenandoah Valley, and also how much weird/cool stuff happens in nature where no human eyes usually are there to see it. I had no idea how much gets done in Virginia State Parks, and no idea how few people are responsible for all of that effort. I had no idea how much I would come to love and appreciate my coworkers in the Resource Section across the commonwealth--smart, funny, hard-working, down-to-earth people, some with over 30 years in service and some with just 3 months--all brought together by a love and a responsibility for our natural resources. I had no idea that I might come to a final day as a Virginia State Park Ranger, and feel both sadness and excitement. Sadness for the end of a wonderful chapter--but excitement for what comes next. Thank you, #VirginiaStateParks - for everything. I'll be back--as a visitor, volunteer, and friend. #staytuned #gratitude #endsarebeginnings #stories https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmQug3Ojd7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 191

February 9, 2023

Hit 200 bird species on my life list today. I got up at the buttcrack of dawn and figured I’d make a couple checklists while I waited for everyone else to wake up. I observed five species that were new to me: California gull, Anna’s hummingbird, black phoebe, lesser goldfinch and bushtit.

Laundry is free here, so I ran a load. Then we had a community meeting at 10:00. A member of each team was nominated, and then one of the nominated team members was recognized for each the Jade Unit and Sapphire Unit. We were asked about our best experiences on the last project and thanked for sticking with the program. It appears that we have lost about half of our members since the first day; each unit used to need to hold its meetings at different times, but now we all fit in the same building.

While I waited for the next meeting, I climbed a tree to get a few oranges. They seemed to be navels and were very sweet.

Our team met in a common room to practice the upcoming project debrief, then made our way to the main building an hour later. We gave a presentation on what we did during round 2, our successes/challenges, how we benefited the community, and recommendations for future projects. The unit leader and some other staff attended in person, and a few people from headquarters called in on Zoom.

I climbed the orange tree again, this time bringing a stick to extend my reach. I probably got ten of them, though I gave most away. Then I had to move all my stuff because AmeriCorps put me in the wrong dorm room yesterday.

Our class met at 15:00 in the main room for the Unit Celebration. We watched the videos each team made in a commercial style. Then we were released. After this last meeting, my new team met, introduced ourselves, and discussed meal plans for the week. Then it was back with the old team for dinner and watching Chernobyl.

thank u for explaining that, u didnt come off as harsh honestly i just didnt see my mistake until u pointed it out. i understand completely now and ill be more careful in the future <3

ur right in that this is such a hard situation for me n its so difficult for me to realise that theres work to be done to fix things bc it feels like a mountain of inner work that i have no idea where to even start with so its easier to ignore. ur words helped me realise that nothing will change if i dont change anything.

I've been there - especially if you're living at home with someone who makes you feel unsafe it puts you in a prey mindset and so life is just a series of anxiety, fleeing, hoping things getting better, and being afraid they never will. it's not an eternal state, but it can only change from your present if you change your present. it's hard, it's not fun. and again - I grew up in a fundy cult and had an abusive dad who made my life really hard and scary the majority of life. it was not easy to get out, but it did get better once I did.

something that helped me is I looked for opportunities that were paid positions that involved traveling. I don't know how old you are or what your needs require but I did a lot of programs like americorp (which you can do until you're 24) where I got to help people and also travel for free while I figured out what I wanted to do. you could also do woof, workaways, look for local hostels that are hiring live in staff - my sister actually lives somewhere where she pays 400 a month and the rest of her rent is covered by being a caregiver for her landlord.

if it's less of a physical move that's required and more of a mental shift - inner work is SUCH a daunting task. I don't know if you've considered shadow work but if you message me off anon (or anon if you want) I can send you some resources to start. it really is not a forever experience, but man. it does feel like it.

Were it not for the scholarship the school awarded me to attend two years in a row, I might have never found my love for poetry and likewise my love of making music/rapping. Plus, Professor Collihan made it fun, which always makes learning and engaging easier (I'll never forget the classes I took with her as well)! Similarly, it was through the creative-writing festival hosted at ARC, SummerWords, that I learned how much I loved writing. While my other responsibilities ultimately prevented me from being able to go to the MUN conference, the experience of getting to work with others in an extracurricular academic context pushed me to continue doing so at UC Davis. Even though I was working in AmeriCorps as a VISTA and still at-risk as far as housing, I decided to join MUN – which is run by Professor Collihan – during my last semester at ARC. Likewise, growing up, the opportunities for academic clubs like Model United Nations (MUN) were pretty limited or inaccessible for me – but it was at ARC that I came to see their value. It was through these reaffirming experiences with the amazing professors at ARC that I, as someone who hated school growing up (I had something like 120 absences throughout high school), ultimately became the student and person I am today. Professors like Frank Araujo, Kathleen Collihan, and Betty Chan all advised and mentored me at the most difficult and isolating times in my life, and I can never thank them enough for that. These difficulties ultimately left me homeless/at-risk for a large portion of the time that I was attending ARC, but both during this period and during the period which led up to it, I met some of the most amazing and inspiring professors who were always willing to stay after class to chat with me. Moving here alone brought with it some great struggles that I couldn't have foreseen at that age, but which had a profound impact on me personally.

Friendly east bay anon here, please consider this your official permission to go Completely Insane (if wanted, also I am saying this for selfish reasons bc I want the Most amount of your writing bc it is delightful), also 👀👀 boba thoughts - 🦃(I read your tags and have therefore chosen an emoji to represent myself; devastated to report that there is no hyena emoji and I am therefore relegated to the less metal option of the Turkey Cryptid)

oh no there is no hyena emoji, HUGE L for us....but we will always have the east bay turkeys. turkey cryptid east bay anon!! thank you for choosing an emoji 🙏

THANK YOU for your kind words, i appreciate it!! boba fic really is me teeheeing into the night, so you are very kind, and i will take this permission to write the 15k devon/cale boba fic no one wanted but will nevertheless receive in about 20-90 days...

also thank you for asking about boba thoughts, i needed to exorcise them, but they are just the Some Guys of all time. boba fic (arizona's version) under the cut:

BASICALLY it's just that loathe though i am to break anyone up ever, i had to admit to myself that if i wanted to write devon toews tenderly trying boba for the first time at cale's behest and experiencing shrimp emotions (for a hockey player, normal emotions for a californians), i have to break john leonard and cale up. and then i was thinking, well, that's not so bad for leno, because john leonard irl just went to arizona and there are many men i love in arizona now and i can do something with that EASILY

so BASICALLY:

john leonard goes to arizona to do americorps/teach for america in an elementary school class. he's a little whipped up about the break up with cale which, while as kind as it could be (cale went to do an environmental policy internship in with the denver legislature, leno really wanted to do teach for america in the southwest, it just wasn't gonna work out), was still kinda heartbreaking bc like. that was his boyfriend of three years! he really loved him! he knew that they might not really be able to make it work long-term, but he loved the guy! aw man :(

at his americorps school, his master teacher (for kindergarten bc that's funniest) is TRAVIS DERMOTT, a goofy canadian guy that all the kids love so much. leno is like....why am i in arizona still meeting canadians, why the fuck are there so many canadians wherever i go!! but travis is rly sweet and they become good friends quite quickly

anyway it turns out that travis is dating TROY STECHER, STALWART DEFENSEMAN FOR THE ARIZONA COYOTES, and leno is doubly like, why do i keep meeting nhlers. but troy is really nice and goofy in love with travis and it's incredibly sweet. travis takes leno to a bunch of games. leno enjoys going to hockey games with travis, bc travis is a former hockey player like leno and really insightful and funny, and even if they are sitting in the wag section, leno has experience with wags due to his soulbond with mario. so it's a lot of fun overall

one day in kindergarten when travis and leno are in the middle of a lecture about why NOT to eat paint, a beautiful black man with a broken clavicle shows up at the door and a smile that could melt ice cream. "what up montana," says travis, unfazed. "oh my god," says leno. it's MONTANA ONYEBUCHI, FRINGE DEFENSEMAN FOR THE ARIZONA COYOTES and he is dropping off boba for the two of them for lunch, but he messed up the timing. he got injured and is not yet traveling with the team, and troy (huge dope in love), told him to drop off boba for his beloved + his beloved's bestie and he would pay him $100.

bad timing, due to the paint eating situation, but also maybe good, montana is a huge distraction, which means leno can whisk away all the paint while the kindergarteners bombard montana with questions such as "what happened to your arm" and "are you really a hockey player" and "why are you so tall" and "is it illegal to eat paint"

anyway obviously he is kind and funny and gentle with the kids and he hangs out for 15 minutes and answers questions about hockey until it's lunch time. leno and travis drink their boba in peace and quiet and montana gazes at leno. leno is like, no fuckin way a guy that hot is interested in me

(montana is interested in him)(travis finds this incredibly funny)(kindergarten teacher to wag pipeline)(love is so beautiful)

i didn't figure out the intricacies of how they get together but TRUST it's gross how much montana likes leno and leno's broken little heart heals under montana bringing him boba like, every day, and sending him boba gift cards when he's on the road, and one day there is a family skate around the holidays and he invites leno to the family skate and leno is like, totally going to say no bc that feels like a big step forward, and then montana tells him he's going to be the elf on the shelf for the kids and leno's like aw fuck he's perfect and goes to the skate

and then they fall in love and it's perfect.....idk how it ends but they're probably in love forever or until my boba au gets trashed once again by these damn ass nhl gms who have NO respect for me 😤😤

critical to boba au (arizona's version): 1. travis knits baby booties for the other wags in kachina colors; 2. liam o'brien (beloved) is just floating around in the background, being the prettiest man in the world, and it is a running joke that he is so pretty that he is unattainable, and then leno finds he doesn't like boba that much and he's like, ok, point AGAINST how beautiful you are and is the only one who develops immunity to liam's smile. love u liam
