So I tested positive for covid yesterday and I've been dealing with that and honestly the first two days were the worst of it I was feeling feeling sick on Friday, chills hot and cold at the same time just like the absolute worst, but like now it's just been feeling like a cold like I've just been congested so I've been blowing my nose all day
So I'm on the phone with my best friend she's telling me about her day I'm telling her about mine I'm in the middle of playing Minecraft and again my nose has been running all day from the same nostril so I'm like oh I'm feeling a little congested I'm going to blow my nose real quick I blow and there's nothing but blood
Before you freak out it's better now but I had such a bad fucking nosebleed Lei
Like
I went through 7 paper towels, I could feel and see the blood filling up
I have NEVER in my 21 years of living had a nosebleed
Again, I'm fine although a little shaken up and just a little bit of a headache/light headed
I'm just so mad cuz I know my coworker gave me covid because she's been sick for a whole week and she has not called out of work and she doesn't wear a mask either
The worst is we're close together cuz we're both in reception
Again I'm fine now I'm breathing fine like there's nothing wrong I can still eat I can still taste things it's just it just feels like a cold
good god, what the actual fuck 🙁
i’ve never had a nosebleed either, so i know if my nose was bleeding so bad, i went through 7 whole paper towels, i would’ve passed out
also, your coworker?? an absolute bitch for coming to work with covid like it’s just some allergies or smth else that’s non-contagious :/
but im glad you’re feeling better now, and i pray you get even better soon :(

“ you can’t or you won’t? ”
❝ —— Oh. Hm. ❞
( Uh-oh. )
Lawless Lucky talked a big game around the bonfire last night. She wasn't too oblivious to pick up on the fact that her being scandalized and upset by the boys' violent sides was beginning to grate on them. So, when all of the boys were talking about the gruesome things they'd like to do to the people who made their lives hard in The Other Place, she forced herself to laugh along, and even took the opening to spin a tale about how she was planning to poison her old employer's food. And, oh, those rotten pirates? Well, she would do the same to them if she had a chance.
So busy seizing on the moment, she didn't consider that she would actually have to put her money where her mouth was.
It would shatter the illusion of Neverland as her luxurious, peaceful, happily-ever-after paradise if she had to see any real carnage with her own two eyes, much less deal any of it herself. But here was dear Peter, ever the altruist, granter of all her wishes, suggesting she come along to their next raid of the Jolly Roger. Lucky's pretty sure he knows this is out of her comfort zone, if he's paid any attention to her — and he does, of course he does. Why else would he go through the trouble of bringing all of these troubled souls to the island if he didn't empathize and care about all of them, right? She can't imagine any motive but love and sympathy. — It's funny, considering how anxiously, meticulously sensitive she tries to be to his boundaries. There was something maybe endearingly boyish about his disregard for hers.
She reasons that she should be grateful for his investment in keeping things fresh and interesting. This is what a sensible, healthy relationship looked like, right? Balancing energies was a major tenet of Celtic magic— it was the key to harmony and prosperity. A passive, supportive person worked best with a person who was a little more... challenging. It would be too stagnant or too chaotic any other way. She gives a fond half-smile to her love, her true love, convinced he's only looking out for her best interests. She would find a way to explain to him that this doesn't really interest her... another time.
❝ Well, I suppose I would... ❞
Lucky? Morally opposed to it? No sir, you've got the wrong lassie. You must be thinking of that prude from Chicago, Fiona Comisky, who used to dote and cry and sermonize Nate Larsen any time he got injured in a fight with some low-class brute he should've run away from. She had no qualms with clodhopping bullies who started barbaric fights. Didn't find it tasteless in the slightest.
She was opposed to tagging along for much more modest, supportive, team-playering reasons, to be certain. The same reasons why she declined Nate's offer to teach her how to use a bow and arrow: why would the Princess of Neverland get her dainty, dignified, not-at-all-labor-calloused hands dirty learning how to hunt when her boys got such a thrill out of slaying those innocent animals?
❝ But why bring a girl along to steal all of the attention?
I'm not as strong or as sneaky as you. I may ruin the...
Element of surprise. Or... distract everyone when they
have to keep me out of harm's way. And there’s really—
there's so much I could do back here. I thought I should
make some sort of victory banquet for the boys to come
back to. ......Besides... ❞
Lucky's fingers sidled over to his, tips brushing over his knuckles, as if timidly asking permission to show tenderness before making any sudden moves. Peter was a bit strange about physical touch. She could never tell if he was enjoying it, or if she maybe wasn't doing it right. When he didn't immediately swat her away, she gingerly placed her palms in his, intuitively careful not to scare him away like a baby deer too shy for human touch, or startle him like a scorpion ready to plunge a stinger into her at any moment. She has experience with his type. She has nothing if not patience and willpower to break through to them. She has hope that one day she'll be able to fully embrace him. If she's really as lucky as everybody says, maybe she'd be able to fully-fully "embrace" him.
❝ I love when you tell me all about your thrilling adventures.
You get such this 𝓅𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓈𝒽 𝓉𝓌𝒾𝓃𝓀𝓁𝑒 in your eye...
It's the same one you had when you first found me— the
one that I saw and thought, 'Oh, there it is: my 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫.
At last, I can see it!' ❞
She boldly ventures to show a little more affection while she pleads, but not enough to push him too far, just enough to remind him that he can touch her back any time he's ready. (If he's rallying her to come out of her comfort zone, maybe this is a good time to encourage him to be a little more adventurous, too.) Her fingers, ever-so-lightly cupped over his hands, gently lace themselves into the spaces between his. She's not naïve enough to believe she's going to get out of raids forever. She just wants to experience feeling truly loved and close to him, just one time, before she has to see him at his absolute nastiest.
❝ Oh, Peter, won't you please let me see
my 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 again when you fill me in later? ❞
( Won't you please let her be so lucky as to skip out on this? )

Hi hi!! I see you don't have a Pokemon yet, do you have a particular one you're hoping to get when you do?
Also, what are your favorite movies from Pokestar Studios? I've been meaning to check their stuff out for a while, would be cool to try and get a jumping-off point for that!
-@slowpoke-enthusiast-avery
ooh, this is actually a tricky one. i haven’t given it too much thought, but something simple like a deerling or a mincinno could be nice, since they’re fairly close by. i guess the only problem with them is they’re the “basic” choices? something from chargestone cave might also be pretty cool. it depends on if i can get the time or items to try catching a pokémon in the first place :,)
a nice, easy jumping-off point for the pokéstar studios movies is definitely Brycen-Man. classic superhero stuff and a SUPER long series. it is kinda written for kids, though
as for my favorites, i LOVE the Big Monster series. it’s your typical sci-fi monster movie, but the fourth one for me especially got me so invested i spilled my popcorn everywhere! but if you’re more of a romance lover, the twist in Love and Battles 3 made me cry my eyes out. and you don’t even need to watch the other two movies, they’re completely separate plots. good luck with your pokéstar studio experience! it’s definitely worth the initially overwhelming amount of movies

out of context things heard in wayne manor:
