Thanksgiving Chats:
Family: *talking at once*
Aunt (exasperated and sarcastic): oh, good. Everyone talk to me at once.
Family: *Talks at once but louder*

My sister’s bf just showed up to surprise her with flowers while her side piece was talking to my mom.
OH MY GOD
He seems so genuinely nice from the parts you’ve shared I feel so bad for him.

ugh. Trying to explain over and over again to my gran that I will not attend any more family events where my dad is present and she just won't get it. It's so frustrating because she had to cut off her abusive parents back in the day but apparently I should just tolerate him because she doesn't think he'd actually physically attack me at dinner. That's NOT where the bar is at. She knows he was always psychologically abusive. She knows the last time I saw him I had to bring a freaking volunteer bodyguard. She knows the last thing he did was threaten me with some kind of vague legal bs. But I'm still expected to show up to events around him and just 'try to ignore him' and 'be polite'??? I hate that I can't trust my gran because she won't take his dangerous, abusive behavior seriously. Just last month I had to very sternly tell her that she's not, under any circumstances, allowed to pass info about me along to my dad. She was calling him and telling him my schedule! How many trucrime docs has she watched and she's still deluded enough to think my mentally ill ex-military christian fundie boomer dad is harmless? To me??? His now openly queer ex-evangelical kid??? My whole family would rather pretend everything is fine always than acknowledge a single consequence for anyone's behavior ever. So even though my uncle is coming to town for thanksgiving specifically so I can join in, I'm probably not going to get to go. They can't uninvite my dad without uninviting my mom, and that won't happen. It doesn't help that I've had some long talks with most of my family about how voting for republicans this time is likely to actively harm me, and every single one of them were like, "lol whatever, still gonna do it (hah, stupid liberal snowflake thinks consequences for actions are real—HAHAHA)." Even my gay uncles are f*cking republicans because they care more about their shares in the stock market than anything else.
Funny, I was just noticing yesterday how since cutting contact with most of my family I've felt more at peace and less like my brain is on fire 24/7. I've been drinking less and finding the soul juice to create stuff again. Little by little, I'm building a better life for myself. I feel like I'm living an entirely different life from the one I lived under their influence. Is it really worth a few hugs and some leftovers to let them hurt me again? Of course they don't want to hurt me (apart from my dad). They love me! I love them, even my stupid dad. But I know that all the things they'll continue to say and do will continue to harm me. Their love is poison so mine is abstract. I've always been a little too neurodivergent to fall for all the comforting lies they tell themselves and each other.

1st Class SOLDIER boys spending Thanksgiving with their S/O
A/N: HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! This year, the SOLDIER boys decide to spend Thanksgiving with their beloved Y/N; I wonder how it'll go...?
♡Sephiroth♡
Tumblr media
-Shows up to your house bearing a large bottle of pumpkin pie flavored wine (Yes, that exists) and a jar of Cool Whip, thinking that's a suitable dessert.
-Due to having grown up in a lab, the man has no idea what you're supposed to eat for Thanksgiving. He thinks it's just a day where your entire family gets together and eats for no reason.
-This man cannot cook a turkey for the life of him. Don't even let him try, he'll find a way to burn the turkey and make the baking dish explode in the oven, regardless of what it was made of.
-Drinks the cranberry sauce, not understanding it's for the turkey, and tries to mash potatoes with the hilt of Masamune.
-Fortunately, this man is not entirely hopless; he's tall enough to hang all the decorations without a stepladder, so there's that.
-When the Thanksgiving dinner is finally ready, he'll find that he actually enjoys eating turkey, especially the crispy turkey skin, and soon becomes addicted to sweet potato casserole. Potatoes with marshmallows!? He had no idea such a combination could exist and taste this good!
-He had a great time at your place; it was a welcome change of pace, being around all your family members at once, experiencing the familial love he never had.
-He ended up eating way too much, just so he could continue hanging around you guys, and had to literally waddle out the door because of how stuffed he was. 🌝
♡Genesis♡
Tumblr media
-Unlike Sephi dearest, Genesis actually knows what Thanksgiving is and how to celebrate properly. His cooking skills are pretty basic, so he ends up gifting you an apple pie cobbled together from store-bought dough and canned filling.
-Very talkative; gets along quite well with all your family members and gets on all their good sides by talking about memories with you.
-His favorite foods are mashed potatoes and gravy. He just cannot get over how creamy they are and how delightfully savory the gravy tastes.
-As mentioned earlier, his cooking skills are basic, so he can help out in the kitchen, but only to a certain extent. He can help mash potatoes, mix sauces, keep an eye on the turkey, etc., basically, he does the stuff an eager 10-year-old does.
-Unfortunately, with Genesis, not everything has a happy ending. Just when you think the night is progressing properly with everyone socializing jovially and having fun, Genesis decides to cause some drama over something as small and insignificant as a housefly that had the misfortune of buzzing over his head.
-The minute he caught sight of that fly, his mind snapped into Total Bitch Mode. He rises from the table with fury, knocking his drink over and sending silverware flying everywhere, shocking you and your entire family.
-He will scream like a banshee, then send a massive fireball hurtling past all your heads and crashing into the wall where that poor little fly once rested. Everyone is in shock as they try to comprehend what the actual fuck just happened.
-Despite this inconvenience, and the fact that there's now a smoldering hole in your wall, everything was quite fine. Genesis had a good time and so did everyone else.
♡Angeal♡
Tumblr media
-Angeal is a man of dreams an honor. He knows how to cook. In fact, he knows so much, he takes over as head chef and magically turns into a dad overnight.
-According to him, it is now his solemn duty to cook the turkey, heat up the stuffing, and prep the dessert all at once, by himself. He adamantly rejects all assistance, claiming that a man with true honor can do all the cooking alone.
-Surprisingly, he pulls it off. The turkey was only a little bit burnt and the pie was only slightly too sweet.
-Angeal gets along well enough with most of your family and friends, and even ends up swapping recipes with several of them, though he very much preferred talking to you.
-His favorite foods are the deserts, believe it or not. He adores pie, especially pumpkin pie, and eats so much of it, he gets a massive sugar rush and a bloated belly. Poor guy.
-After everyone was done eating, his honor compelled him to tackle the mountain of dishes that everyone left behind, something you told him not to worry about. However, Angeal refused to listen to you, stating that it was his dream to do the dishes.
-Giving up due to his stubbornness, you left him to do his thing, only to come back an hour later to find an overflowing sink, wet dishes piled up literally everywhere, and a passed out angel on your kitchen floor. Turns out he'd eaten too much, and his food coma combined with over exertion from the daytime cooking caused him to fall asleep on the spot.
-All in all, everyone had a great time, and Angeal ended up sleeping in very late the next day.

so I'm supposed to be making pies for the family thanksgiving dinner right now. I haven't been able to fully decide if I'm even going yet, or how I'm going to handle being there. I initially said I'd go just to be civil, found out my dad was also going, said I couldn't attend if he was there, thought I'd have to work, found out I didn't actually have to work, and accidentally walked myself into the corner of saying I'd be there with pies. I think it was thanksgiving last year where the only time dad talked to me was to recommend anti-marxist literature. Maybe that was two years ago. That was pretty much the last time he spoke to me. If I see him this year it'll be the second time since I came out. Last time he did nothing but follow me around menacingly, making threats. Even without factoring in dad the last two years were bad enough, honestly, dealing with the tension of the pandemic that most of the family didn't believe in. I don't know how they expect me to be in the same room with him now and not go absolutely ballistic. They keep telling me he'll be polite. I keep telling them I won't. He always liked to perform the perfect family act but that ain't my bit. I've got nothing left to gain from it. Oh I'm making the family look bad? Maybe we should all look past the Norman Rockwell in the foyer and see the sculpture made from corpses in the living room. It stinks!
I'm trying to imagine what being there will be like and I can't. In most of the scenarios I've run in my head he ends up attacking me, but I can admit that's still not likely. I got my social anxiety from him after all. I usually get to deliver some good zingers. I've never had to worry about my family out-maneuvering me in conversation, apart from my brother who won't be there and is pretty okay anyway. All my dad ever does is dish out one logical fallacy after another until he ends up raging about the evils of abortion or some nonsense about how hitler was god's plan. The rest of my family only have 3 dialogue functions: 1) regurgitating conservative talking points while mocking me. 2) pretending to listen and agree until I leave, at which point they go back to regurgitating conservative talking points. 3) Telling me to shut up because thinking about politics stresses them out and then immediately saying something racist or transphobic.
I clearly don't want to go. I don't think it's worth the food. Being around my family is almost always a net negative experience despite the good food and the handful of funny shenanigans my uncle and my mom get up to. But I want to give them these pies because I said I would. Maybe I'll just leave them at the door and go back home to my dogs.

Thinking about how deranged this thanksgiving was.
I hit a kid with my cane. I popped so many painkillers. I hit a kid with my cane again. I went black Friday shopping and came back only with things that weren't on sale. I hit that kid with my cane so hard in the shin he's gonna need a cane, too. I had a religious crisis. I threw my cane at that kid in the passenger seat because he said I don't need handicap parking. Some dude dressed in a really nice santa costume was just standing at the end of his driveway waving at cars and I barked violently at him. I fucking punched that kid. I spent more money on a dog than my family. I still bought that kid ice cream because I hate him but I hate the company I took the money from more. At some point I just fell asleep under the dinner table. I played Minecraft with that kid and he's a fucking loser. I had a whole therapy session in the car trauma dumping for the two hour drive home. I'm going to ruin that kids life I'm just too tired right now. It's been days and I still feel hungover. I didn't even drink.
Needless to say I think the spirit of doctor House possessed me for thanksgiving. Either way 10/10 would do again and Christmas is either gonna put me in jail or back on Lexapro
