#family don’t end with blood

[drfrankensteinvsthequeerborgs]

Lora: "Is that your dad?"

Jack: "One of them, yes."

what's so fascinating to me about this season is how explicit it is about their family being a queer family even before Cas comes out, Jack says several times he has more than one dad and no one bats an eyelash, Dean pointedly says "I have a family" in "Lebanon" and we know he means Jack, Cas, Mary, and Sam in a way that is very much not nuclear, Chuck makes Dean try to kill Jack for the Abraham & Isaac of it all because Jack isn't just Cas's kid he's Cas's, Dean's, and Sam's equally no matter what Chuck manipulates Dean into saying about him-- my point is none of them have to be fucking for their family to be queer, it just is

So, Mina in the Bad End AU, I was having a hard time getting her “voice” as it were, and then I had the thought-she doesn’t have one. There was an attempt made to fulfill her wish—and attempt Jonathan stopped, and Turning mostly fixed, but not before it cost her voice.

The lack of an ability to speak doesn’t make her any less a force, especially towards Dracula. Her being turned by him does give him a certain amount of ‘control’ over her, so that she can’t just rip his throat out, and she knows that with how things stand at the moment her family is somewhat beholden to his “hospitality”. And I think he enjoys trying to goad her into darker acts of vampirism (under the justifications of giving Jonathan a break from being their shared meal, and creating a world where her son could walk free without fear of being staked)

But she also knows she’s got all the time in the world to come up with a vengeance to rain down on him sweeter then anything else she could possibly taste. So she waits and plots in silence…

CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THERE’s NOTHING ROMANTIC HERE. The vibe if anything is the Sith Apprentice bidding their time to overthrow their hated master and they both know it.

forever losing my mind over ‘you changed’ ‘you didn’t’ cus how can they ever go back to normal after that. In the moment it was kinda sweet. Like yeah she didn’t change still a pain in the ass or whatever. But the whole point of living is that we’re supposed to change. She’s still 13 years old and she shouldn’t be. I think something would always feel just so wrong about that.

even for her, she missed ten years of her life and now both her brother and the world have changed too much for her to ever catch up. All of her friends have grown up, she will probably outlive most people she knows, and now her brother is 33 years old and she missed getting to watch him grow up.

Theodore: The Lykaios family are mere Counts!

Marquis Ellen: Shhh! (Covers his grandson’s mouth) They’re crazy and insanely monstrously strong. Especially the Countess! And that doesn’t even begin to speak of the army at their back!

Marquis Ellen who was from the same generation as the Count and Countess remembered all that had happened between them with great difficulty. The trauma in him as deep as Duke Eckart’s was when it came to the late Empress.

It was during a family meal that the Marquis had discovered that the Crown Prince’s Aide was related to Lady Iris Lykaios born as the youngest Lady Cameron.

He suddenly has a memory float to the top of his mind of how he’d woken up to a bloody pile of severed heads, that he recognized to be the assassins he’d sent after Cedric and Callisto, neatly arranged on his bed.

Now that he thought more of it, he could now easily believe that it was Cedric Porter who’d done that and not the ‘barbarian’ Crown Prince who seemed genuinely confused when he’d confronted him.

-

-

Cedric: I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m really not. (A bloody mountain of corpses behind him that he has buried and sodded so that it would turn in to a proper mound.)

Callisto who stood beside him nodded approvingly at his handiwork, even though there was some mild disappointment there: You’re really not. This is so tame and gentle.

hii peonie! hope you're doing well <3

Hiii 🥰

Thanks for checking in on me. I‘m doing okay how about you? How’s everything going? How’s the moving coming along? You ready for Cologne?

Also I had the feeling you could use a hug so here’s a hug for you (of course I had to use a gif of my two favorite dorks Sam & Dean Winchester).

Hope today was wonderful for you 🩷

Call me crazy but I don’t think blonde hair and a pretty face should be enough for you to be crushing on a fascist

#this goes for real people as well ofc but specifically #its. very fucking weird seeing people thirsting over Future Brutal Dictator & Current Baby Sociopath Coriolanus Snow #like??? did we read the same book? #granted I haven’t seen the movie yet but. like. we’re all familiar with this man’s actions yes? #like the guy that murders a man in cold blood & takes advantage of the mother of the boy who considered him family #whom he ratted out and got executed. he uses his parents money and has his mom bake him COOKIES #because when all of this happens he is still only a teenager himself #like. this guy???? this guy??????? #babes even fuckin Lucy Gray got outta there by the end— #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #I don’t get it #spilling the Tea

Gaslighting? In MY household? It’s more likely than you think

#sad pav hours #<- ‘tis my new vent tag. filter as needed #just pav things #I have experienced so many levels of Confusion today #I mean most of it just boils down to my dad being a dick for no good reason #what do I even do to him????? I yet again ask him this and he’s like #‘I live with you’. My mere existence causes him misery apparently #He says that I’m unlikeable. I say that people generally enjoy my whimsical disposition or just don’t care and ignore me #or in the case of [redacted] try to pacify me in neurotypical ways that only ended up hurting when I found out #instead of communicating that she didn’t want to be friends. Actually that was what my first vent post on here in 2021 was about #and very ironically it was the reason me and Dolphin became friends (random skribbl game my beloved ^^) #But I digress #Also I’ve already accounted for the fact of my future bosses probably disliking me and some people out there just by virtue of being human #but i’d like to believe I’m generally likeable??? I have so much evidence to prove this that the put-down just ends up confusing #Also the amount of name-calling is insane once you stop filtering it out #I can just casually be called stupid. again without any reason #and then people wonder why I have such low self-esteem sometimes #I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m the family scapegoat. I live with 3 blood relatives who hate me. #Also ffs I’M NOT A FREELOADER!!!! STOP sAYING THAT #I understand the real world will be brutal I see the real effects of the cost-of-living crisis every day #I’m prepared to live frugally to survive so stop saying i will be shook 😭 i’m fuckign ready to leave as soon as I have enough savings #and a place to stay. I’m done here. Except for the dogs I will always love and miss them 😭😭😭

praying for all kids trapped in van life because of their deranged parents.

#everytime i think about it it makes my blood boil I can’t #gwon #I moved around a lot as a kid just due to circumstance and I hated every move #even if in the end I ended up liking it just moving around and having to meet new people is exhausting mentally #the fun part about making new friends is that one day they’ll be old friends you have memories with #these kids don’t have that…. #my heart especially goes out to Addison family of nomads. their mom sharing all of their medical history is so gross to me

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’ #or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis? #but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically) #so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’ #and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

I understand why eventually the sims has to stop recognising distant cousins as family and I get that it’s, like, actually even allowed for first cousins irl but it’s still weird when my sims share grandparents and/or great-grandparents and develop high school crushes on each other

#I just set them as cousins via cheats at this point lmao #I’m gonna have to have some of em not have kids anyway bc otherwise my world will just be this family and nobody else eventually #I’m obsessed w them having big families idk. but if a big family all has a big family suddenly you have like 50 sims #I also had two adoptees which made it more confusing since they seem to gain immediate family as if blood related #but none of the distant family #and don’t get me started on blended family. one kid ended up with a step-brother crush lmao #we are NOT doing that tyvm #anyway my siblings’ mum is married to her cousin and it’s never not so weird to me bye

stayed up super late last night with friends doing halloween stuff (getting drunk and spilling tea) knowing full well that i had to get up early today to go to a quince out of town . i am awake against my will and regretting many decisions

#peach rambles #not staying up late and getting drunk. Let me be clear. that is my natural habitat #i regret rsvping for this quince that happens halloween weekend which just so happens to apparently be the busiest weekend of my goddamn #life. im exhausted from a week’s worth of lack of sleep and i am also no where near done with three of my monday deadlines #and i am losing an entire day (?) of work to this quince. #also it’s halloween weekend i should be getting drunk and looking hot😭😭😭😭 #instead i am in the passenger seat of my father’s truck attempting to pretend i am alive #he called me this morning to say how far away he was from my house #but i missed the call because i kept on pressing snooze because. Obvious Reasons. and when i saw that he called #i called him back and he was like ‘im ten minutes from your house’ bitch i hadn’t even packed for the night yet. i was still fully in bed #i feel like if i close my eyes for too long im going to have a category five sleep incident. whatever that means #i think i forgot to pack a bra? fucking. i don’t know #i brought my computer so that i could possibly work but there’s absolutely no charger to speak of in #this vicinity. fuck. and uhhhhh i look like death but the only makeup i have is a singular eyebrow pencil #and the remnants of my eyeliner from last night. also the fake blood still in my fingernails #speaking of fake blood i bloodied my shit up for real last night which was very high risk high reward for me #the blood was four bucks from walmart and said that it stained skin and i was like #what a perfect product to cover my face and body in the day before i go to a family function #it ended up working out because i looked fucking good and i took a shower before i went to sleep #(did NOT check how i looked before i went to bed so this morning when i looked in the mirror and say i was blood-free it was a miracle) #but anyway. yeah. i want to pass out

I would take five more seasons of Samuel and his shiny bald head over the men of letters is what I’m saying

#HENRY IS SO BORING. THIS EPISODE IS NOT HELPING HIM. #my opinion before rewatching was that I didn’t care about him #my opinion now is that he is annoying and making my experience of watching this episode worse. #man should have stayed a shadow over John’s life that echoed through his parenting of his sons rather than. A Guy. #at least Samuel was fun!!! samuel was willing to take out his own grandsons for his daughter!!! that was!!! idk fascinating man!!!! #his whole sure we’re blood but I don’t know you you’re not family my daughter is my family thing was an interesting mirror to the show’s #overall (attempted) theme of ‘family don’t end in blood and doesn’t start there either’ #like he followed that to a T! he just happened to also do it while going against our main boys. #he was a Mary stan I respect him for that #plus imagine if she was revived and had to be around her father (previously demonically possessed and also kissed her) #this is a pro-samuel blog now akshfkjdlfj I’m so sorry Samuel that I was annoyed by you in s6 I see the truth now #I see how bad u could have been and I want u back mr Campbell
