#but like the doors she didn't lock it

[theskeletoninthegarden]

I had a dream where I was playing as a thief tasked to find out the truth behind the whereabouts of another criminal on a college campus. It was fun in that I was given an overall objective, but absolutely no one gave me an idea as to where to start first. Basically a lot of it involved either me figuring out how to B&E into different offices, or eavesdropping at the right time, but there were other hired thieves that I had to deal with at the same time that added an element of "combat" to the experience.

#personal #but also by eavesdropping and looking into files and etc I picked up stories about the people working and living there #which helped give them actual personalities and overall raised my investment in making sure their home essentially would be safe by the end #as an example there was this lady in her office that i could hear muttering from her computer #I was outside just under the window and my personal goal #personal as in there was no objective marker I just had a hunch #was to get in and look through her stuff #by listening to her mutter I learned that she had a friend in an office nearby that A I had to be wary about showing up #B had a key to the place (but also the doors would be unlocked) #C that she was stressed as hell and thus pretty distracted #the window before the desk was open a bit though she closed it before she left #I remembered thinking that I could have jammed it to keep it from closing all the way #but like the doors she didn't lock it #so i just slid it back open on my own #I learned about her life from her computer and jeez talk about trauma #but learned more so to follow the thread of going to her own friend's office #who as I learned #would be leaving it eventually too #idk there weren't any quest markers #just a large af map with multiple floors and a variety of ways to go about things #and a plethora of NPCs with set schedules I had to learn #Which would change dramatically if people learned I was there #I think it would be overwhelming for some people but tbh it's so what I want out of the genre

Station 19 - 6x08

#station19edit #station 19 #maya bishop #danielle savre #station 19 6x08 #femslash related stuff #carina x maya #marina #love the lock screen <3 #and I keep forgetting to mention it but danielle savre did GREAT work in this ep #the crying sure but the body language for maya too #once she closes the door she actually has to settle in how alone she is #and this time she can't call up pretend anger or need to clean #and against the very advice she'd just agreed to she thinks about how to assuage that loneliness #and I know there are people who wished she'd called #but I'm glad she didn't because for right now it would be something better for her and not necessarily carina #like yes carina knowing she's okay and that she's doing better or at least on the path to it would be great #but that's happened before #carina might jump to forgive and help and things just go back to how they were #or perhaps they start off fine but then carina says something that might be taken by maya as pushy or the wrong thing #and then a super exhausted emotional maya might lash out again #unrelated to all this but loved that sweatshirt and her shoulders in it >_>

my favorite thing about my sonadow fankid is that splotch literally just appeared in front of sticks and she decided "you're my niece now. wanna hear about the robot apocalypse?" and fed her fruit until she teleported into the basement

#sticks didn't like abandon her down there #she actually tried to bring her back upstairs #but splotch just teleported back to the basement so sticks just decided #'fuck it' and left some more berries out for her in case she came back upstairs #and locked the door #sonic the hedgehog #sth #sonic #shadow the hedgehog #sonadow #faker.txt #sonadow fankid #sticks the badger #auntie sticks #splotch the hedgehog

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts

#i know when i post about it i usually make it Lighthearted if not outright Memey #but oh boy. this au is dark. like - like beyond the literal meaning #imagine being abandoned by your creators without so much as a warning #one day the lights go out and thats it. no answers. no comfort. no friendly faces or explanation #show's over. curtains closed. doors locked. they're all gone #it's just waiting in a pitch black room because surely the lights will turn back on. the next day will come #but it Won't. the next day won't come. it will never come. your friends won't open their eyes again. it's just you now. #you've always had company - friends and the comfort of feeling Watched Over by something beyond your understanding #but you blinked and its gone now. it's just you. no matter what you try or what you do - its. just. you. #days and weeks and moths and years of silence and a complete lack of color #burning matches down to your fingertips just to remember what shade of yellow your fleece is #its still wrong. firelight stains the color. #slowly forgetting the sound of your friends voices and what their smiles looked like and what the memories you made with them were #what was your best friends favorite joke? what was his hotdog order? how did he laugh? he used to pose for your paintings didnt he? #you can't be sure anymore. maybe the neighborhood was always dead. maybe You're dead. how can you tell? #you don't breathe. they don't either. they used to didn't they? you never did but they used to. ...right? you hope their dreams are sweet #one of your friends starts sleepwalking. you're so happy. she hurts you. you know she didnt mean it. you're scared anyway. #you can only see with one eye now. it feels... Wrong. all of your chalk drawings start coming out wrong too. #you keep missing when you reach for things. just one more thing to adjust to #were the lights ever on? or was that your own dream? you thought that was something you couldnt do. #you also thought the lights always come back. you were wrong about that. what else are you wrong about? #wh lights out au #wailing sobbing screaming etc over lights out wally... this poor little 12 apples dude... #aimlessly wandering through the town... walking through the buildings.... #eventually getting so fucking lonely and desperate that you keep your best friend's severed arm for comfort #all you can do is protect your eternally sleeping friends from the Things crawling out of the shadows #mark another tally on the ground for each full circle the town clock's short hand completes #and wait for the day you fall asleep and join your friends dreams. it will happen someday. #you can feel it in the pitch seeping from your eyes and mouth. more with each decade that passes #just a little while longer. some more waiting. just you. in the dark.

also i have updated abusive housemate lore

#apparently it's bitchy to not wanna get locked out of your fucking house #like we left a note on the door reminding her that everyone was getting back late so pls don't put the chain on the door #bc WE NEED TO GET IN WE'RE NOT IN A SAFE PART OF THE CITY FFS #literally all we said was “be back late- please don't put the chain on xx” AND I DIDN'T WRITE IT #but she put a note on MY DOOR saying it was bitchy which my sister also said kinda screams that she deliberately locked us out on friday #really tempted to put a note saying “cope” on her door but that's a terrible idea #only 20 weeks until i move out thank fuck #and i'm gonna be in my hometown for like 8 of those #cw vent #cw mental abuse

RED ALERT RED FUCKING ALERT I THINK SARAH SUITEMATE HAS EX BOYFRIEND OVER RIGHT NOW

(insert another nothing post abt how good in stars and time is)

#in stars and time #sorry i'm just unable to play it as much as i want to be playin it (due to my broken foot and desk setup) #but MAN I LOVE IT SO MUCH #i love timeloops and i Love the characters more than anything #literally like. i just played omori and i love omori and the characters were a big part of that #but the team in isat is just so so catered to my gay found family dnd party sensibilities #AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE WORLDBUILDING #the different fictional cultures and traditions #just learned abt the tradition of giving kids multiple names for multiple genders in case they ever wanted to change #the bonded earrings thing #crabs #okay but there's a line that implies isa has changed names/genders already and he wants to keep his rest secret in case he changes again #i love choosing snacks on rest breaks waaa #i am worried that i'm underleveled because i avoid most monsters. but so far i haven't had too much trouble with bosses #even though. i just fought the 2nd? major locked door boss (the duo where one kills the other one) #and odile got frozen right at the start. i went to unfreeze her #and realized mirabelle didn't have that ability yet in this loop. and i never equipped the memory #thankfully she unfroze during the phase change where the 2nd half killed the first and healed from it #but i was fighting for my life a little bit

to be quite honest there is no experience quite like catching a bird that is absolutely terrified of you. especially when you've had to do it multiple times

#there's a cockatiel flock at the aviary and one of them is disabled and she can't fly very well. but she simply does not understand this and #hurts herself trying to fly around. so we ended had to put her in a smaller cage inside the bigger cage so she doesn't fall all the time #and every once in a while she gets out bc someone didn't lock the food doors or whatever and i have to go in there like ah man gotta catch #the bird again. and she's like really easy to catch bc she can't fly well obviously but she is NOT happy abt it #and she'll start biting my hands and im like ok man thanks #rambles

#boris was attacked by my neighbor's dog and i've been crying so much. i'm so scared #it's 9pm so my sister is driving him to a vet 1 hour away cause the vets near close at 7pm #idk why bad things keep happening to him i'm so heartbroken idk what i'll do if he dies #my neighbor is a cruel bitch cause this happened around 1 pm and she didn't tell us. she hid him in a room #she was gonna let him die like that #my sister was supposed to take me somewhere tomorrow so she came home one day earlier #i'd been crying all afternoon and i told her to please ask around and then they (w mom and brother) went to my neighbor's house #they brought him back and he looked very weak and with blood all over #my sister called a friend of hers who's a vet and she came to see him and adviced to take him to a vet clinic #cause he was bloated and there was air(?) and her face was worried when she said that cause.. where does air come from #plus he was breathing weird #i had the worst panic attack the whole time since they brought him from the neighbor's house until they left with him #i couldn't even speak cause i couldn't stop crying #now i'm calm but i'm so worried #if my sister hadn't come home today boris would be still hurt and locked in my bitch neighbor's house #cause my mom thought i was being paranoid :( she wasn't going to ask around #cause she thought boris would come back since he's been missing before #also my sister's the only one who can drive #:( #i'm so angry cause that bitch next door heard me calling boris name all afternoon and didn't say shit #i hate her. not only bc of this but she's suck a snake in general. she's always gossiping shit about everyone #she didn't do anything and locked him in a room for like 7 hours. maybe those hours were crucial #idk. if boris dies i'm gonna do some crazy shit to this bitch so she'll have a reason to call me crazy

my entire family goes to bed at 9:30 because i live with fucking old people (im joking. somewhat.) and from then on i have to move around the house quietly. this wouldn't be a problem except that my door is incredibly and uniquely fucked up and nigh impossible to open even remotely quietly

#and it can't be left open because the cat will beeline into my room and make my life hell #every door in my house is absolutely fucking horrible in its own way but my room is really bad #the doorknob is like. dislocated. or just made for a much thicker door because the middle part of it is like 3 cm too long #and i either have to align it carefully or pull on it (makes a very loud sound) and then using a very specific amount of pressure turning #while continuing to pull on it so it won't pop #oh and i can technically open it turning both directions but going right makes it pop so fucking loud it's actually ridiculous #the very unpleasant sound of painted metal on painted metal #kiwifae says shit #my partner of two years is just getting the hang of my bedroom door #my friend came over and literally got stuck in the bathroom cuz she couldn't make the door open again #she literally tried for a few seconds and then just yelled for me 😭 #that door also pops open randomly sometimes. i do not know why. it didn't use to. #back when the front door was still semi functional i had to fish the literal latch out of the cavity in the lock with a screwdriver cuz my #mom kept slamming the door and misaligning it even though we told her that's what fucks it up #we can only deadbolt that door now. it literally won't close otherwise. (that's how we lost the cat for five days!) #(back when it still semi worked i was the only one who knew how to close it at just the right strength so it would stick but not fall out) #((why isn't there an eye twitch emoji)) #but our other outside door exclusively has a deadbolt. that's the only mechanism. #i'm the fucking door wizard in my house and i cannot WAIT to move somewhere where i have functional semi modern door handles #gawd bless i want to kill my fucking landlady

asked my coworker if she could write up a little checklist for me on working the admissions booth bc I'm covering shifts in there once a week and I've never done the open/close procedure before I've only ever covered for an hour while someone's on lunch but anyway she really saw into my brain and knew I would need it to be as detailed as possible. love her

#like. there's a diagram on here. I told her I didn't know what else I would have to open #besides just the big admissions doors #and I was worried about looking stupid trying my key in all the locks before I got the right ones #and she drew a little picture of the entryway from the pov I usually have looking at it from inside the store #and drew arrows pointing out which ones #slay #text post

You know I'm desperate for a coffee when I break into my mom's place to make myself one

#the door wasn't locked. and she's upstairs in her office #but she was yelling like 'HELLO? WHO'S THERE!?!? WHO IS THAT“ #and i'm like.... 'your daughter. chill' #i didn't have enough money after the dollar store to grab a coffee while i was out and even if i had #it is fucking torrential rain out there i just wanted to get home #rough day already and i haven't even done class yet #mod post

NO ONE TELL ME IF I'M RIGHT OR WRONG DON'T SAY A SINGLE WORD

Now.

I like Lisbon but I'm... suspicious of her 🤔

#I just finished Season 1 #and here's my thinking #Red John was literally right there like he was sitting watching on video in the same place literally a floor above where Jane was #and when she apprehends Hardy #Jane tells her she should have waited for Red John to show up LIKE THEY AGREED #and she was like 'Red John is already gone' BUT HE WASN'T. HE WAS RIGHT THERE #and she didn't like ??? #Like there was a locked door and Jane was going to open it which obvs Hardy guided him away from. But that didn't seem SUSPICIOUS TO HER? #'She didn't want Hardy to kill him' ok yeah but Hardy wasn't going to kill him because this whole thing with Red John is just one long game #he wouldn't have killed Jane or had someone else kill him because that wouldn't have been satisfying #so ??¿???!!!!!!¡!!!!! #anyways #shit's WEIRD #jack watches the mentalist

Ah, nothing like trying to set a boundary with someone, only for them to twist it against you and deem you unhelpful and ungrateful.

Heaven knows why I don't like someone unloading their grievances on me and giving me marching orders for the day when I'm still in bed trying to wake up. Guess I'm just unhelpful that way.

#literally had this conversation with her twice before #about how I don't like that #she agreed not to do it again but surprise surprise she didn't stick to it #guess that door's gonna be locked at night from now on

[milo-is-rambling]

Recently every conversation with my mom has left me feeling like a child again

#y'know when you were little and your parents were upset but you wanted to tell them something you cared about and they got angry at you for #being happy and wanting to share it with them #that's been how every conversation with my mom has ended for the last two days #i just empty and emotional but I can't do anything about it cause I'm too small and young to help her #i just have to keep being around her and try to make her feel better #it's hard. it's really hard. i miss my dad #i know she's struggling but she doesn't have to act like that to me #and we had been doing so well before my brother came home and now that he's back at school it's like we have to learn to live together all #over again and I don't want to #i just want to lay in bed and cry #i feel like how I felt in middle school when I would lock myself in the bathroom to cry bc my bedroom door didn't have a lock and my family #would just walk in whenever they wanted to do I cried in the bathroom and it was always while I was crying I could hear my whole family #making fun of me for crying in the bathroom and making jokes about how I was crying again and being dramatic and stupid and it kind of #forever tainted my connection with my own emotions and being brushed off by my mom brings me back to that exact feeling #i wanna lock myself in the bathroom and cry so hard I can't breathe while listening to my parents make fun of me for crying #I'm just having a rough day and I'm stressed and sad and it's the first showing of the play tonight and I'm terrified I'm gonna fuck up #and I just want to have a good day but it's all been sucky so far #i hate it #i wake up happy and then I go to start my day and I talk to my mom and then it's like all motivation is drained from me and I want to just #get back into bed again #:((((

my legs gave out. mum and grandpa helped me back to bed. I can feel the muscles in my thighs twitching.

#mine #YouShouldBlacklistThisKindOfThing #I didn't lose sensation they just ... didn't move how I wanted #it took a minute or two just to start walking bc I moved the wrong leg and couldn't process how to take the next step bc it started wrong #then in the hall my knees wouldn't cooperate #not like they properly locked up... it didn't hurt. I just... couldn't move my muscles right #like they were tensing... I was trying.. but my knees wouldn't bend #grandpa guided me to my sister's bed which is higher up and my legs fell down naturally when I sat down #mum was then able to guide me to my lower bed and my knees bent a little on descent #grandpa said I was overthinking it #maybe? I have to think abt lots of functions sometimes. like breathing. not always but sometimes. #I followup w my primary doctor on the 20th. maybe I should see a neurologist. she seemed keen on that idea from the first visit #hey future lem. for context you're dealing w a migraine rn. mum knocked on the bathroom door and startled you. you couldn't restart right. #also NOW my legs are hurting but they weren't earlier when this was happening #yes they're still twitching #lem has a body
