#and it ended up spiraling out of control

[aidaronan]

That mug post going around just has me imagining quiet(ish) weekend mornings at the Munson trailer.

During the work/school week, Uncle Wayne stays up after he gets home from the night shift. Like a good chunk of teenagers with ADHD, Eddie stays up too late and, as a result, has never met an alarm he can't sleep through. So Wayne makes sure he gets his boy up so he won't miss school.

Wayne has to eat anyway, so it's nothing for him to also make sure Eddie has a good breakfast, even if it's sometimes a bit non-traditional. Eddie never complains if he's handed a bowl of spaghetti, and Wayne doesn't exactly hate occasionally having bacon and pancakes for "dinner." On the weekends, things are slightly less chaotic. If Eddie is home, Wayne gives him an extra hour or so to sleep in. He knows from trial and error that if Eddie doesn't keep a consistent schedule 90% of the time, things get ugly. Plus, Eddie likes being up for the cartoons.

The result is a routine of its own. On Saturday mornings, Wayne brews a small pot of decaf coffee for himself. It's enough for two cups, so he drinks one from one of his many Garfield mugs, then starts a small pot of regular coffee as soon as he pours the second. Wayne wakes Eddie right when that pot is done, ventures out to get the morning paper, then cracks it open. He reads it from beginning to end while Eddie rummages around, fixing his own coffee in his favorite Star Wars mug, loading it with enough sugar to start a candy factory.

Wayne usually stays quiet until Eddie's fully awake, but he pipes up every now and then to fill Eddie in on something important. "Looks like someone's selling a Marshall amplifier." Wayne doesn't cook on the weekends, so Eddie is halfway into the freezer on the hunt for blueberry waffles when Wayne chuckles. "What?" Eddie yawns, holding a vigil over the toaster, syrup bottle at the ready. "Oh, it's just the funny pages. That Garfield again. Cat's got his whole head stuck in a water glass." Eddie sits down across from him and toasts him with his coffee. In an hour or so, Wayne will go to bed. He'll put in ear plugs so Eddie can watch his favorite cartoons, sitting cross-legged on the floor like he's still the boy who used to visit, like he's still the boy who showed up five years back with buzzed hair and fear in his eyes.

That's later though. For the time being, Wayne folds the newspaper and picks up a pencil. "Hmm. Six letters, home to Norse Gods." Eddie chews and swallows faster than a dog given a pork chop just so he can blurt out, "Asgard! It's Asgard."

Wayne smiles and writes it down with care. He holds no illusions. He knows life could be better. He also knows it could be much worse. After all, he reads the papers. Besides, sitting with his boy on an easy Saturday morning, well...

How could he not think that life is plenty fine?

Rating: Mature (horny)

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Relationship(s): Edelgard von Hresvelg/Byleth Eisner

Words: 11.5k (2 chapters out of, theoretically, 3)

There's a new professor of the Black Eagles house, but it's not the one Edelgard and Hubert had planned to take on the role—and to make matters worse, Edelgard knows her. She could never forget her, or a single moment of that hot summer night when they met in Enbarr.

Worst of all, the professor doesn't seem to remember Edelgard.

AU in which Byleth and Edelgard meet by chance a few months before the start of White Clouds.

Random TGCF Thought of the Day

The urge to frankencanon Ling Wen’s revised backstory to keep all the cute moments with Bai Jing but still have Ling Wen be actively responsible for Jing Wen’s pseudo-death and somewhat responsible for Xuli’s downfall

(preferably with swd & pm’s backing)

#tgcf #ling wen #random tgcf thoughts #I am still mad about that one change in the revision #was it a censorship thing? lw can’t get away with everything in the end if she murdered someone? #everything else about the backstory is great but I refuse to acknowledge this part #how I would do it is have her actively plot against jw #she knows xuli’s downfall is coming no matter what so she decides to speed it up #after BJ refuses to withdraw for her she finds some conflict to keep him busy #and makes arrangements for other kingdoms to start invading - BJ can’t be everywhere after all #and then in the confusion actively starts burning JW’s temples #(possibly pm helps here) #(or for more fun it’s swd who borrows PM’s men and makes him complicit) #while lw stays in heaven and waits for jw to weaken enough so she could kill him #(but he manages to survive like in the og novel) #i like the idea of lw trying to keep bj safe at first but then settles for just having him elsewhere #but the general feng conflict happens anyway #and her temple burners spiral out of control #and target her own temple as well - but BJ protects it #also picturing a scene where lw warns swd about pm (who he’s kinda friendly with) #pm is a xuli man and owes jw some favors #so if swd starts an open conflict with jw he should expect PM’s help #*shouldnt #(lw is wrong about this - pm wouldn’t help jw and would prefer to stay out entirely) #(but he also doesn’t actually like jw) #(the favor jw did for him? help clear his name after the failed rebellion) #(pm never asked for that and it caused the beautiful tale to spread) #(however I do also see pm in a sort of lxc-style peacemaker role for lw swd and jw)

Making myself sad by wondering if Kaeya had NEVER seen Diluc mad at him before that fateful confrontation

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//Kae getting mad at Luc for whatever and streasing him tf out? yes #//But what if Diluc; having been told by Crepus to help look after Kae and what he’s been through; resolved to be endlessly patient #//No matter how resistant Kae is to opening up; no matter how many times he’s frozen out #//No matter how many mistakes Kaeya made; again and again; even if they hurt Luc in the process #//What if bby Luc managed to ensure Kae would NEVER see him upset with him; EVER #//That sincere; ray of sunshine keeping that promise to his father until That Day #//Until Crepus was gone & Kaeya; likewise hurt & spiraling; finally pushed Luc past the breaking point he was already toeing the line of #//And THAT was the first time Kae ever bore the full brunt of Diluc’s fiery anger #//FINALLY knew what it was like to be the one on the other end of it; having only ever seen others get that treatment & happy he never had #//And no matter how hard Kae’d tried to harden his heart after seeing Crepus with that delusion; tried to steel his resolve #//He broke all over again. & far worse than the damage Dawn could ever do to him. All bc of that rage & weight of what he did to incur it #//He’d rather let that fiery phoenix consume him in full and agony than ever bear such hatred from Luc again #//Even if he’s come to see annoying Diluc as the only real way to get his attention nowadays. But what else can he do? Leave him be? #//He knows damn well he can’t. He’s too sentimental for that; no matter how flippant he makes himself out to be #//Love to think on the flip side; Luc after processed what he did/what happened; after his destructive; murderous time in Snezhnaya #//Just resolved to never let his anger go that far EVER again. No matter how he’s pushed or prodded #//He’s seen firsthand how dangerous and irreversible the effects of his anger can be. In Snezhnaya & the Fatui. In Kaeya #//He would swear to NEVER take that lightly and lapse his self-control in such a way ever again #//Bc sb he cares abt; like Kaeya; might not be so lucky the next time around if he’s not careful

#as an autistic kid i often got told my reactions were disproportionate to the situation #and that there was no reason to be upset or act a certain way #and that it was ridiculous for me to feel a way that i had no control over especially when it was things other people had no problem with #so i learned to just shove everything down and hide it and make myself appear unfazed and numb even when im dying inside #and im just thinking about that bc one of my allistic coworkers was talking about watching her nieces and nephews when she was pregnant #and that they were acting in a way she considered disproportionate to the situation and just wrong #and then proceeded to say that the kids ended up tearing a hole in the trampoline she had #and she had to call her mom to come deal with the kids bc if she had gotten her hands on them she would kill them #and the kids reactions to things is disproportionate!? #like i get she was probably exaggerating but still #i just #idk i just dont understand and it made me spiral for a minute #ignore me i just needed to get that out #ry rambles

I started this at about 7:30pm. It is now 4:30am. I have been working on this for 9 hours. I have suggestions turned on, so if you have anything I should add or even anything I should edit (because I have been working on this almost non-stop for 9 hours and it's 4:30am) feel free to leave a suggestion. Anyway I'm gonna go to bed because I am TIRED

#hazbin hotel #seriously you can tell when i started questioning the decision to do this #it went from pretty professional and ended up spiraling out of control into shitposting

[robinsnest2111]

....oh I see.

I see myself in Randy AND Benson in equal parts. a similar situation to what I feel about Eddie and Chrissy. starting to recognise a pattern there

#like i don't know what kind of pattern exactly BUT IT IS A PATTERN #like the saviour and the saved (both kinda failed attempts) the rescuer and the one in need of rescue #these two duos also kinda contrast each other #chrissy came to eddie looking for help. ended up dying and the blame got placed on eddie which made his life miserable #benson decided to fix randy's life and actually managed to help in some ways changing his life for the better #but in turn he spiralled so far out of control he ended up dead himself #yeah idk where i'm going with this but!!!! #like seeing parts of myself and past iterations of myself in characters and their wants and needs and desires #and the ways in which they treat others and how they have been treated by others throughout their life and AUGHHH #just so so so deep in my thoughts about it all

#Julie Finlay #Finlay Friday #Elisabeth Shue #CSI CBS #CSI Vegas #CSI Crime Scene Investigation #The CSI Effect #Daniel Shaw #Mark Valley #she knew not to trust him here #but she did it anyway #but in retrospect #how was she to know things would spiral out of control so bad #and they both would end up dead #as much as it hurts #killing her off was likely the plan from the very first notion of season 15 #even if they show hadn’t been cancelled at the end of that year #I think she was ready to stop #and that’s ok #but I’m seeing it in a different light than I did 8 years ago #I’m still bitter though #if you’re gonna make an entire season around killing one character slowly #this is not the way to do it #and why did death have to be the end game #even if the show didn’t get cancelled #Finn didn’t have to die #anyways #pain

In your redson and Macaque au which part of the lmk timeline is it in?

I started making that comic around Nov 2020, so this was after season 1 ended and before season 2 started.. so that's pretty much what I intended for it. Red Son and his fam just got the snot kicked out of them by MK and his friends, and so Red Son is looking for a way to get stronger and Macaque uses that to his advantage.

#ask #blog #macaque meets red son #elegantcollectionpenguin #i never intended that comic to get as long as it did #i started off with like two pictures and it spiraled out of control #as is the case with most of the creative endeavors i end up on

one of the guys that runs a reaction channel i've been watching for ages just announced that they're ending the channel next year bc he got a job offer and he's getting married and he's thinking about his family and his future and like...

my son in christ you are 21

i literally want to fucking die

#dont get me wrong! good for him! i'm happy for him #but he really said he started the channel when he was younger (turns out that was 18) and it felt like time to move on #i am 31 and only got the job i love a year and a half ago #i have been dating and living with the same person for... 10 years in 11 days and all i've ever wanted is to get married #(and be a mom but i dont think im ever getting that one but im gonna go ahead and focus on that one zero percent or i'll cry) #i say. like all of this doesnt make me want to cry lmao #i am so incredibly blessed to have what i have. like truly i ended up with the perfect sort of life for my awkward mentally ill ass #but i cannot NOT spiral just a little when people younger than me have the things i want so so bad and then also talk as if their young age #is older than it is. i know you feel mature and older but you are still so fucking young. and okay honestly - now that im rambling - thats #just part of it huh?? i mean a lot of the spiral is actually Wow. I really lost so much of my life (so much time. so many opportunities) to #mental illness and other shit i couldn't control and there are people who didn't fucking have that. there are people who didn't have to #deal with any of that!!! honestly!!! and you just.. dont do anything to prepare for the future when you do not expect there to be one for #so long and then you can't stop fucking everything up and then oh look! you're in your 30s and- #god i cannot fucking do this #it is 1:35 in the morning and im tired but now i feel really stubborn about going to bed. i should. i want to. but also i dont. #actually going to bed is where The Horrors are so #this really was the dumbest fucking shit i think im gonna go to bed & play p.m on my phone and try to be a little less pathetic #maison speaks

Dream Visitor: Ketheric was Myrkul's Chosen. I know Lord Enver Gortash - an arms dealer and a slaver. He is a worshipper of Bane, the god of tyranny. The other is a mystery to me. But the way she spoke, it is most likely she follows Bhaal - god of murder. Which means the Absolute is a front for the gods of death and our enemies are Chosen of the Dead Three. Roz: Chosen of the Dead Three? Dream Visitor: Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul. The tyrant, the assassin, and the necromancer. They are known to pick from their most devout followers a Chosen, granting them incredible powers. Each one alone would be a formidable enemy.

could there possibly be something roz signed up for less than they signed up for this. saving the world? from a grand plot cooked up by the chosen of the dead three? i think they deserve a cigarette. or twelve.

#that said.... this is fun #its not d&d until things spiral out of control and you end up saving the world by accident #roz pt #dream visitor #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #bg3 dialogue #also as an aside: roz looks SO pretty in these screenshots hello??? #their waist is so tiny

noah fence but I’m not reblogging posts dragging girl dinner and acting like it’s the worst most misogynistic thing to exist because it literally started out as a normal funny thing that other people then ended up making unfunny and damaging and acting like girl dinner in itself is something awful annoys me so much

#deity dialogue #I won’t name names lest this end up being a cold take to y’all #but shout out to my friend who had a whole discussion about this the other day with me and agrees #like girl math and the likes is bad and the end result of girl dinner sucks because what people ended up making it #but the og girl dinner at its core was literally just a fucking thing #things spiral out of creators control but damn shut up about girl dinner as if it’s the root of l evil #this isn’t because of any one post btw I’ve seen several posts blaming girl dinner for like shit #like. stop that #you can talk about what it spiraled into being and how bad that is without placing blame on the og source and creator

listen ‘ere boy there is a voice in ur head telling u ur fine and you don’t need to go to therapy tomorrow and that voice is a f u c k i n g liar don’t listen to it boy don’t fuckin’ listen to that rat ass bastard it does NOT have ur best interests at heart

#vent in tags etc etc #aim losing my mind over here #it’s fine #see the thing is I’m so deeply lacking in like. the emotions edition of object permanence. I can have a massively heartbreaking reaction to #smth and then once I’m out of that moment and even slightly distracted it’s like nothing ever happened ?? #so like yk I was nearly [radio static noises] over talking to my therapist abt the young csa thing and I’m meant to be starting emdr tomorr #tomorrow* except like for the past two weeks I’ve overall been fine regarding that?? instead it’s the ed and other traumas flaring up so ?? #idk how Specific emdr is I honestly don’t know much about it yet but like yk now I’m wondering if I should delay starting that in favour of #talking about the other badtimes tm rearing their heads atm. todays in particular was unexpected it happened this morning and it’s only just #like. hit me and started biting and it’s ?? also dumb cuz like on one hand I’m pretty okay but on the other hand the other half of my brain #is spiralling hysterically to the point where I’m very glad I’m already in bed and like I know [redacted] won’t help but it’s like my brain #is just so lost about how to hold these things and what to do at all so it’s just pulling out the bad coping mechanism and insistently #thrusting it in my lap and waving its arms like it wasn’t even That Bad tm of a situation today but it Was some very specific factors which #are holding hands with Other specific factors and then The Location Of The Events is just #yea okay maybe I will talk to her abt this / these things instead if I can #ah the joys of heavy personal responsibility at a very young age and the severe guilt that gets bred from that and the fantastic experience #of things being so far out of your control and almost destined to fail and the absolute wonder of The Actual Person(s) To Blame Having No #Consequences For Their Actions and ending up feeling like you failed and you’re a complete fraud cuz no good you do will make up for that #one situation and yeah okay I’m gonna go sleep #ugh

post-canon thing that just came to me

*Duncan and Isadora are munching on grapes in the kitchen*

*Both see Widdershins enter the kitchen and heads to fridge*

*Widdershins opens the fridge*

Widdershins: All right. We got water, orange juice, and what looks like cider. 

*Widdershins takes out a glass of liquid with odd white bits on top*

*Duncan and Isadora glance at one another. Duncan is giving a ‘please don’t say what I know you want to say’ look, while Isadora is trying really hard not to smirk*

Isadora: Taste it.

Duncan: *stares at Isadora*

Isadora: *smirks fully*

*Widdershins drinks from the glass*

Widdershins: Aye, it’s fat. I drank fat.

Isadora: Yeah, we know. Hector told us of that two minutes ago before leaving.

Widdershins: Ah.

*Widdershins drinks from the glass of fat again*

Isadora: *SHRIEKS*

Duncan: *finds himself rushing out of his chair to get that glass of fat away from Widdershins ASAP*

#asoue #a series of unfortunate events #duncan quagmire #isadora quagmire #captain widdershins #incorrect quotes #(up to a point) #source: friends #(97% of it is straight up friends dialogue) #(the ending is my addition and change) #(bc i think with these three things has a 50/50 chance) #(of spiraling out of control for the humor)
