As much as the sound of thunder and storms scared me since I was a little girl and they still do till this day...there is something that I find so beautiful in lightnings that I cannot explain but I know that I love...and it's strange how the madness that is unraveling in the dark sky can bring such peacefulness to me...
ok so this has been on my mind since i saw the ghost files trailer a few days ago, but i do not believe in ghosts. skeptic for life here. so the entire time i’m watching buzzfeed unsolved i’m on shane’s side. “it’s the wind, it’s faulty wiring, it’s the house settling” you’re so right king. there were only like one or two moments in the entire 7 seasons of bun that i felt weird about, but nothing concrete enough to genuinely make me consider that ghosts might be real. that being said, one of the most unsettling videos i’ve ever seen was the video garrett watts did in that abandoned hospital last year. something about that video makes my skin crawl and makes me question my skeptic beliefs. like there is clearly something wrong in that building. so for the ghoul boys to bring garrett on the show and have him talk about that (and i assume they’ll go there eventually), as well as them claiming they’ve caught more stuff in these few ghost files episodes than they ever did in bun? idk man i think this might be the rise of the boogaras, and i might just join them
so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.
and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.
and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive
