Thanksgiving (Josh Anderson) *Requested*

I was inspired so I typed this up. Hopefully I’ll post another two or three over the weekend...but no promises.

Warnings: Swearing, Labor....cuteness

Requested: Yep

Requests are open

Anon request: Hey could u do an imagine where the reader is pregnant with Josh’s baby and one day when he is out you start having contractions and your water breaks and one of his teammates has to take you to the hospital because Josh is too far away? Thanks and love your work!!

“That’s it. We’ve reached the end of my patience.” You moved to the edge of your chair and tried to hoist yourself out...not the easiest feat considering you were eight and a half months pregnant. “It’s time to put up the Christmas tree. I’m done waiting.”

Your husband of just over two years looked up at you with a frown. “First of all, you’re not supposed to be up.” You’d been having braxton-hicks contractions for almost a month now so the doctor had placed you on bedrest. “Second of all, Thanksgiving isn’t for another week. We can’t put up the tree before Thanksgiving. It’s like a sin or something.”

“First of all, Joshua,” You sassed back. “You’re Canadian. Your Thanksgiving happened like a month ago. Remember that? If I want to have a Christmas tree up before my Thanksgiving I don’t see why I can’t.”

“Y/N….” Josh trailed off and sighed. “I can’t say no to you when you look like that.”

You looked down at yourself with a furrowed brow. “I’m in leggings and a shirt of yours that barely even fits. My ankles are like the size of your thighs and I don’t think I’ve washed my hair in like a week.”

He stood up from the couch and pulled you into a hug. “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. You’re radiant and that’s our baby inside of you. Our little girl.”

“It’s going to be a boy.”

“No it’s not.”

“You know I read online that men with bigger peni-”

He shoved his hand over your mouth, “Please don’t say anything that’s going to make me look at all of my friends differently. I don’t want to know.” You giggled and his eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled down at you.

“Please go get the stuff from the basement? Think of it this way...the baby is supposed to come once the tree is up because the tree means it’s Christmas time. So if we put the tree up now maybe they’ll get here that much quicker.”

“That was a dirty move. But fine. You have to sit down though. You can boss me around and I’ll do the decorating.”

“I already boss you around. Not much of a trade-off.” You called to his back as he headed for the stairs. He responded back with a single finger salute while you gasped in mock outrage. “Josh Anderson!! I can’t believe you just flipped me off! When I manage to get out of this chair again I’m going to kick your butt!”

20 minutes later Josh had hauled up all of the tubs of decorations and the Christmas tree. True to his word he listened as you directed him on where to put the snowmen on the mantle, how to hang the stockings just right, and repositioned the tree skirt when it got all out of whack.

Once the tree was assembled he graciously helped you out of the chair so you could help hang up the ornaments (after you ranted for about 10 minutes on why you should be allowed to help). He did all the lower and higher hanging ones while you were only allowed to do the middle section, but it was a good team effort.

You stepped back to look at it once all the ornaments were on and gave a huge smile. “It’s perfect. Now all it needs is the star.”

“Uh-oh.” You looked over to see Josh lifting a broken star from its box. “Looks like it got damaged in the move.”

“But we have to have the star for it to be complete!!” You looked at him pleadingly, “Will you please go get a new one?? Please? Wal-Mart is like 10 minutes away. And I’ll stay in my chair the whole time and I’ll keep my cell right beside me.”

“It’s 30 minutes away if you count construction.” Your lower lip began to tremble. The pregnancy hormones were making you overreact to absolutely everything, but you only had a few weeks left and Josh hadn’t complained yet. “But...if it’s that important, I’ll go.”

“Thank you.” You sniffled a little and dashed away the few tears that had escaped.

Josh knelt in front of you, “Why are you crying? Are you okay?”

“You’re just such a good husband and I love you so much. And you do all these ridiculous things just to keep me happy and I’m so grateful and I just...I just love you a bunch.”

He got the little private smile that he only gave you before pressing a kiss to your lips. “I love you, too. That’s why I do all these ridiculous things.” He stood back up after kissing you again. “Please stay in your chair. You’ve already been up today more than you were supposed to be.”

“Promise.” And for 15 minutes you kept your promise...but then you noticed that one of the ornaments was dangerously close to falling so you had to fix it. And while you were up…”May as well go to the bathroom.”

You’d made it about 5 steps when a gush of liquid hit the inside of your thighs. And you hadn’t peed yourself. “Shit.”

You walked back over to where your cell was and called Josh.

“Hey! I just pulled in to Wal-Mart. You okay?”

“My water just broke. I need to go to the hospital.” You stated bluntly.

“What?! Are you okay? Do I need to call an ambulance? Have contractions started? I’m running back to the car now.” Josh rushed through his words and you could hear him rushing in the background.

“I’m fine. I’ve only had one thus far and it wasn’t that bad...just like the practice round ones. Please don’t call an ambulance.”

“How are you so calm?!?” You heard the car door slam shut. “I have the baby bag in the car; I just need to come get you.”

“I think I’m going to call Seth. He’s five minutes away. We can meet you at the hospital. That way I get there faster and you can focus on just-Ugh-” You paused for a minute as another contraction hit. “Getting to the hospital.”

“Call him now. You have 30 seconds to call back before I start heading that way.”

You quickly hung up and dialed Seth. “Seth? I need a big favor.”

“What’s up?”

“My water broke and Josh is 20 minutes away. I don’t want him to drive all the way back in a frantic mode. Can you come pick me up and take me to the hospital please. Josh will meet us there.”

“On my way.”

“Thank you, Seth.” You hung up the phone and called Josh back. “Seth is on his way. Start heading for the hospital. We’ll get there at about the same time. I promise I’m fine.”

You heard him let out a big breath, “Okay. I’ll meet you there. Please be safe. I love both of you so much.”

“I love you.” You hung up the phone and then raced to the bathroom before Seth arrived. Your water breaking didn’t diminish the fact that your bladder was about to explode. You’d finished washing your hands when you heard the doorbell ring and the door open.

“Y/N?” Seth called. “I’m here. Do I need to grab anything?”

“Josh has the bag in the car. I’ve got the baby and myself...so I think we’re good.”

Seth rolled his eyes. “Only you would crack jokes right now.”

“I’m pretty sure lots of people crack jokes in my situation. It’s called shifting focus.” You snarked back at him.

He smiled but otherwise didn’t respond. Once you were seated in the car he pulled out and began casually driving like a bat out of Hell towards the hospital.

“Seth. It’s really fine. You can calm down. Most labors last hours and hours. We have time.”

“Josh called. If he beats us there I won’t have hours and hours left.” You laughed out loud and Seth shot you a smile...but he didn’t slow down. “Besides, if I get pulled over I can genuinely say that I have a woman in labor in my car. How many times can I use that excuse?”

You pulled into the hospital 10 minutes later and as you walked towards the door (You’d refused to be dropped off), Josh came sprinting through the doors towards you.

“You’re okay? I got here like a minute ago. I was just so worried. Do you need a wheelchair? Should I get the nurse. Do I need to-”

You cut him off by pressing your fingers against his lips. “You need to take a deep breath. You can freak out in a few hours when it is closer to actual delivery time. Let’s go get signed in and let our parents know we’re here.”

Six hours later you were the one freaking out. You let out another scream as another contraction washed over you.

“You’re doing great, Y/N. I’m so proud of you.” Josh had mellowed out as the doctors reassured him everything was fine. Unfortunately for him, his mellow was not vibing with you at the moment.

“Don’t you start with me, Josh! This is your damn fault. And if this baby isn’t out of me in the next five minutes I’m going to chop your dick into a million tiny pieces so this never happens again!” You shouted as another contraction started.

The doctor peeked her head in, “Are we ready?” She checked your progress and put on a pair of gloves before whispering to Josh. “Usually when they start threatening physical harm is when you know it’s pushing time. You can hold her foot up or just hold her hand.”

He walked up and grabbed your hand in his and you grabbed on tight, screaming as yet another contraction hit. You were going to kill him if it was the last thing you did.

45 minutes later the dust had settled and your new baby boy was pressed against your chest. You looked up at Josh with tears in your eyes. “We did it. We have a son.”

“Yeah, baby. We do.” He brushed your hair off your still sweaty forehead and gave you a kiss. “You were right.”

“I’m always right. You should know that by now.” You brushed your finger along the smallest nose you’d ever seen before looking up at the man you loved. “I’m sorry I kept screaming at you.” You gingerly handed him his son and basically melted as you watched his hands dwarf the small bundle he now held.

“Forgiven and forgotten.” Josh looked at his son again and gave him the private smile that had previously been just for you...but you didn’t mind sharing it just this once.

Let me know if y’all see any blazin’ errors

☕ capitalism

A fucked up socioeconomic system built on the exploitation of the poor and the planet as a whole, dictating that there must always be people treated like shit at the bottom in order to motivate people to not get there. Also implanted with the false idea that you can simply "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" when in reality it kneecaps social programs that would allow people to better their living situations. Thrives off taking advantage of countries not as well off, particularly those who were fucked over and abandoned with colonization. Eventually leads to monopolies and oligarchies in the economy, where its not longer the market deciding which companies rise and fall but rather a select few companies deciding how to do business with the least amount of competition between them and simply buying out or economically starving companies who don't play by their rules.

Take Raybans. Sunglass company, used to be cheap af. Didn't want to play by Luxoticas rules. Luxotica owns most businesses that sell glasses/sunglasses to people, so they simply refused to sell Raybans, and then swooped in to buy them out when their business was collapsing.

Also refuses to allow other forms of government to be tried/tested/thrive. See any of the CIAs coups in the last few decades whenever a people democratically elect a socialist or communist head to lead them. Because, like the businesses, they don't like it when people don't play by their rules.

Capitalism ties people into a form of slavery as well. They're stuck doing a job, day in and day out, not because they like that job. Not because it brings them joy or pleasure or happiness. Not because its something they want to do. Because if they don't they can't afford rent. They can't afford food. They'd end up on the streets. They're not working because they want to, they're forced to work to avoid a situation that is incredibly dangerous to their life, taxing both their mental and physical health.

The model also depends on wage theft and swelling the pockets of those at the top. Of putting those below you at risk while you reap the rewards. Like the inhumane ridiculous conditions put on amazon warehouse workers who make a mere 15$/hour, not a livable wage mind you, while Bezos makes such a ridiculous amount of money that he might as well be a chromatic dragon with a hoard. Or Wal-Mart, where its board of directors are fine sitting back and earning millions while right now their workers are being forced to risk their lives, and the lives of those they live with, to make sure Karen can get her fucking wine after a trip to the hair salon.

Going back to the hoarding wealth thing, giving money to the rich is a bad idea economically speaking. You know what tends to happen when they get a tax break or extra money? They tend to hoard it, store it. There is some that is invested into growing businesses, but not as much as capitalists like to claim. You know what happens when you give money to the middle and lower classes? They tend to spend it. Those dollars goes through the economy, adds value, is spent and moved around, and is GOOD for the economy. It means goods and services are being exchanged, jobs can actually fucking grow thanks to a demand, people can actually afford to do things like get a treat for themselves or spend on a luxury here and there. Instead of going paycheck to paycheck stressed the hell out.

Ideally, I'd do away with capitalism fully and take on a model like the one seen for the Federation of Planets in Star Trek, but I don't believe that will happen in the time I'm around. But, with that as the eventual goal, I'd push to limit the amount of money heads of companies can make tied to the lowest paid employee. Adopt a minimum livable wage that changes with the cost of living. Put a giant fucking slam on landlords with rent control. Do what we should have done and break up economic monopolies and ologarchies. Push for universal fucking Healthcare because people shouldn't need to go into massive fucking debt just to afford medication to help them live. Push hard for green energy initiatives and help other nations do the same. Invest time and resources into nations we fucked over instead just sitting on our asses wondering how it got so bad. Give the homeless fucking homes because its cheaper than the current model and actually helps them a hell of alot more. Tiny houses are a thing and a great starter to help people get back on their feet and stable. Do away with the tipping pay model for food service workers and give them a stabilized livable wage like everyone else. Also, free college and university so that there isn't this massive barrier many cant get over to better themselves and their families. Same for trade schools.

In short. F U C K C A P I T A L I S M. FUCKING SHITTY ASS FUCKING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE.

#tw death #tw mental heath #tw homelessness #tw bezos #fuck capitalism

meta about events of ar/row season four and just general ranting about th/ea que/en (what else is new??) under the cut. buckle up bc it’s a doozy.

why has literally NO ONE stopped to check on her since the no less than F I V E traumas she had to endure over the course of the last ???? year a half ????

let’s recap, shall we?

1.) the events of 4x09 (read: that whole incident with dam/ien dar/hk abducting her, feli/city, and jo/hn ) 2.) the events of 4x12-4x13 ( read: where she was, y’know, DYING ) 3.) the events of 4x18-4x19 ( read: hahahahahahah NO ) 4.) the events of 4x20-4x22 ( read: F U CK ) 5.) the events of 5x08 ( read: where she was not only abducted by aliens, but also got to be trapped in some kind of dream where she got to see all of her dead loved ones :)))))) )

so -- things 1-4 happen over the course of...let’s say four/five months?? (rough estimate, anyhow, bc the hiatus between 4x09 and 4x10 kinda throws me off time wise, but eh.) four/five months, and IN those four/five months, not only does she have two brushes with death, but she also has to lose her best friend/surrogate older sister, and then three episodes later, has to watch her boyfriend (lack of chemistry aside) die at the hands of her STALKER.

and then, because she clearly doesn’t suffer enough already, woohoo more brainwashing!!

so -- two people she loves are dead, she herself went ostensibly too far in threatening dam/ien dar/hk’s daughter (as she admits), and aside from oli/ver, feli/city, and jo/hn, there is NOTHING left for her in star city. lau/rel, r/oy, moi/ra, tom/my, al/ex, wal/ter? all gone. she went too far in 4x23, and she knows that, so what else is there for her to do when that happens AND there’s nothing left for her in the city that she grew up in? as we saw in 2x23, she leaves -- but this time? this time, she’s ALONE. no one to offer her shelter far away in cor/to malt/ese, just herself and a desire to reclaim some kind of normalcy in her life.

and personally, had oli/ver not asked her to be his chief of staff, i don’t think she would have come back at all. why should she, when all she’d have left to her is a small apartment (not lau/rel’s, there’s too many memories, and it doesn’t feel RIGHT to keep on living there, not without her) and a job that she’s in fact extremely reluctant to take on? we’ve all seen her lack of a social life in the past few episodes -- in fact, the ONLY times we’ve really seen her are in the mayor’s office, and helping quen/tin get into rehab. there’s no social life, because she refuses to let herself get close to anyone outside of her already tiny circle, because try as she may, her life will NEVER be normal.

“ when’d you become so wise, huh? “ “ been through a lot the last four years. ”

this is how the conversation between her and quen/tin goes in 5x07, and it’s not just the last four years, but the last year alone.

and then there’s the very next episode -- it’s all a dream, but she gets to reunite with both laurel and moira, something she at first doesn’t want to leave because maybe, just maybe, she can have the normalcy and happiness she’s been so desperate to attain. but she can’t -- and she accepts that, gets to go home after the ordeal, and what does she do, as seen in 5x09? throws herself into organizing the holiday party, and from there it’s work, work, and more work.

bitter as i am about how she was completely shut out from the events of 5x10-11, and the chance to maybe get closure with laurel (even if it wasn’t their laurel), maybe it was for the better. she’s already in a pretty fragile state emotionally -- living alone, nothing keeping her in star city except an older brother who she really isn’t as close with as she used to be, and tbh, i think if she’d met bla/ck sir/en, it likely would have been the absolute last straw that pushed her to really leave the city for good. but no, instead she gets to be away for three weeks, deal with the news that lau/rel isn’t back on her own time, to again grieve offscreen.

so no, she’s not okay, she’s too busy making sure everything else around her runs smoothly and that everyone else is in good shape to do their jobs, but unlike them, she (as far as i’ve seen, anyways) doesn’t have that luxury, because no one’s really stopped to have an in-depth conversation with her about everything that’s happened??

#{ OUT / alex danvers is too good for all of us }#{ brb screaming about my kids || meta }#yikes this got long sorry to anyone on mobile but you get to deal with me yelling #long post //#death mention //#trauma mention //#brainwashing //#stalking mention //#mental health //#i think i covered most bases but #ask to tag

New Post has been published on https://addcrazy.com/the-impossible-activity-of-afghanistans-lawyer-trendy/

The Impossible Activity of Afghanistan's Lawyer Trendy

Ultimate April, Mohammad Farid Hamidi, Afghanistan’s forty nine-yr-old Legal professional Fashionable, made an exceptional pledge: From eight inside the morning till 8 within the night every Monday, he could meet with all and sundry looking for legal suggest. On a few days, this intended seeing as many as two hundred petitioners. Hamidi, who came into strength in April 2016, referred to as the exercise morale-e oz, or the day of the petitioners.

On a brisk Monday morning Last November, rankings of Afghans meandered outdoor the Lawyer Popular’s workplace in downtown Kabul, hoping for a target audience with Hamidi. a few wearing western-style suits befitting the city higher middle class, others in greater traditional clothing. A handful of the guys who confirmed up labored down the street from the constructing, at the same time as others had traveled for days. Others nevertheless had packed snacks or lugged caches of office work that had accrued over the route in their felony battles with venal local politicians, unjust bosses, or bullying buddies.

The building was these days renovated to symbolically mark the transition from the preceding Legal professional Trendy, whose tenure have been marred by way of accusations of corruption. Balustrades have been nevertheless moist with paint, and workmen had been pushing wheelbarrows carrying computers, the building’s first ever.

Inside, Hamidi’s workplace, packed with site visitors, became stifling. His cluttered, expansive desk and the darkish mahogany wainscoting gave the room the asphyxiating feel of an iciness cabin. Sitting at the back of the desk, he listened intently, his handsome, extensive-open face and putting eyebrows centered at the petitioners. (There had been no tea breaks, as Mondays have been strictly for the enterprise.) A younger man asked for his assist in settling a family dispute. A lady sought guidance on a sexual harassment suit. A properly-saved older lady protested that she had been fired from her Job as a low-stage civil servant after exposing the office’s inner corruption. A tender-spoken younger prosecutor asked to be transferred to Kabul; her conservative colleagues in the rural east have been not amenable to her running there, she stated.

Hamidi asked questions and took occasional notes. A lot of his visitors betrayed their lack of expertise in the regulation, or of the limits of his strength. He knew that the uneducated and the terrible regularly faced the steepest dangers within the justice gadget, and have been regularly not able to serve as their personal first-class advocates.

Around mid-morning, an afternoon laborer named Abdul Rahim walked in to look, Hamidi, carrying with him a tattered folder crammed with office work. He had arrived in Kabul after visiting in a shared taxi for hours from Kapisa, a province some 65 miles away. He’d heard about Hamidi on television, and liked what the huge man had to say about curtailing the way of life of impunity that allowed corruption to fester some of u . S . A .’s elites. Rahim, who become “approximately 60,” hoped Hamidi could help settle a land dispute that predated even the Taliban regime. The land in question, bought in 1984, were taken unlawfully by way of a powerful, remote cousin, he said. It turned into now well worth $20,000, and he wanted it to lower back. He had accompanied the legit channels, bringing the case before the nearby courtroom, the appeals courtroom, then the ultimate court, all to no avail.

After taking note of Rahim, Hamidi exceeded him a letter that would allow him to restart prison complaints. “The saran Wal, he’s a terrific man,” Rahim stated, the use of the Dari word for the prosecutor. “All the people of Afghanistan could believe me.”

The desire changed into that this one-to-one outreach could assist Hamidi to benefit the belief of everyday Afghans, those exploited by way of an elite class that has gotten fats off of the useful resource cash that has flooded u. S . because the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 that ousted the Taliban. However, in a rustic plagued by way of dysfunctional institutions, the reform approach has its limits. In the meantime, there may be a rising problem that making an enemy of Afghanistan’s maximum effective—those who’ve profited from the battle economic system—can also doom him just as he’s getting commenced.

Hamidi is a police academy graduate whose work as a human rights commissioner won him a sturdy advice from President Ashraf Ghani, who, in one in all his first reliable acts, nominated him to guide the Attorney Widespread’s office. The parliament showed him, by way of a vote of two hundred-19. From the beginning, he became feted as a star of Ghani’s reform timetable. Nader Nadery, a senior guide to the president, advised me there were concerns over whether he should meet the impossibly excessive expectations. Then, “while he began bringing the first set of reforms, the president have become more and more confident. [Hamidi] might pass via and the president might point to him and tell me, ‘I am happy with him,’” Nader said.
