You bought James along to a family party, nothing inparticular just some family members who don’t come round often come around, and you have a get together.
James is still struggling with his drinking, and he gets drunk, but not enough to not remember it in the morning. He starts acting really cocky and acting like an actual dick.
You pull him away into somewhere quieter, maybe an empty bedroom or in the garden, trying to talk with him calmly.
“C’mon sweetheart, S’boring out here.” He tries feeling you up, pulling you into him by his hips; normal for him when he’s drunk, he gets all lovey-dovey. But, you’re sick of being calm and speaking softly.
“James Hetfield get the fuck off.” you say firmly, grabbing his wrists and digging your nails in. He looked down at you in confusion, tilting his head. “Sit down,”
“Baby-”
“Sit.” He sits on the small brick wall, looking up at you, a small amount of annoyance in his eyes, but mostly confusion in his glazed-over eyes.
“I don’t know why you’re acting like this, James, but you’re going to stop right now.”
“Like what? I-”
“Like a dick, most of my family are here, and you’re making the shittest first impression for my cousins.”
“M’not acting like a dick.”
“James, you were fucking showing off-” He stands up and scoffs, acting like a spoilt child.
“What, I can’t tell people-”
“James-”
“About-” You push him back to where he was and slap his cheek lightly, getting his attention.
“You do not speak to my family like that, or talk about how much money you make, and you definitely do not speak to me like that. We’re in a relationship, you don’t treat me like that.” You confirmed, eyes narrowed and your finger still pointed at him. He looked shocked, surprised you had spoken to him like that. Such firmness. It sobered him up a little.
He nodded. “Yes ma’am.”
“Are you going to act like a dick when we get back in there?”
“No.”
“Good.” You readjusted your bag on your shoulder and straightened your back, going to walk back inside.
He called your name softly, standing up. “I’m sorry, sweetness. I don’t know why i acted like that.” he apologised, looking at the ground.
“I don’t mind when you’re showing me off, just don’t act like that again, please.” You turned around and walked closer to him, letting him wrap his arms around you in a bear hug. “M’sorry, baby. Won’t do it again.” he slurred slightly, kissing the crown of your head.
Eventually, you two go back in, he apologises to the members of your family he acted like a dick to, and thankfully, they took it quite well and accepted his drunk apology, seeing the sincerity in his glossy eyes.
… And because one-third of your family watched the scene through the window. Hearing and seeing you putting him in his place.
How gay is it that One of the things I’m excited about when I find my partner is asking that gay ass question “so what are we” with my eyes closed because I’m a nervous person and all I feel is kisses on my cheek and our smiles touching
People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
just out of curiosity bc some people I know with glasses can just go a few hours or a day without them and be chill but I need them on all the time or I’ll go crazy
