And He’s Yours
b.r.b. for my bee 💗 @bradshawsbaby
Sometimes
Your job
Its days and weeks
Demand and take
Leaving you empty
Tired
And aching to your bones
Your mind and heart
Just as drained
Just as sore.
But when you’re home
And he’s home
He’s yours.
You drop away the day
Purse
Work junk
Other metaphorical baggage
The front door closes
Shuts
Solidly behind you
Closing out the world
Life with its demands
Is unwelcome here.
You’re home
And he’s home
He’s yours.
His frame
Tall
Broad
Strong and safe
Fills the kitchen doorway
Almost to overflowing
Spilling toward you
On his eager steps.
Jet-calloused hands
Reach for you
Arms fold you in
And he’s home
He’s yours.
Some sweet name for you
Sighs from his lips
Over yours
Before they’re his
By right of capture.
No happier prisoner
Is there
In your mouth.
His kiss tastes of tenderness
Of peppermint and sweat
Hints of strawberries.
And he’s home
He’s yours.
The night will go on
All soothing sweetness
Dinner
Wine
The yellow roses on the table.
Your laugh he adores
His curls falling loose.
A soak in the tub
Limbs tangled
Bodies close
Hot and bubbly and unhurried.
Maybe he’ll sing to you
Soft and loving.
And it’s good
Perfect
Just what you need.
But
Your favorite
The best part
Is
Him
And you
That’s Home
You are his
And he is yours.

leonidas “leo” valdez (houston born and raised) thriving off of chaos and annoying the ever loving shit out of people and william andrew solace (austin born and raised) being absolutely disgusted by the sound of joints popping and not non-confrontational in the slightest getting into a yelling match that descends into almost incoherent southern screaming that draws a crowd and annabeth fucking chase (virginia born and raised) getting a headache, and the heat from their powers (human torch and ray of sunshine) is unbearable, snapping at them and causing everyone in their vicinity to scatter because that was a southern mother’s hollerin’ through and through

it’s actually so insane like imagine being billy hargrove and just being fucking uprooted from your life and taken away from everything and everyone you know and ending up in some tiny town where you don’t ever get a break from your abusive dad who makes every aspect of your life a living hell and never getting any help for the situation you’re in and everyone blames you for absolutely everything and the closest thing to love or affection you get is being objectified and sexualised by literally everyone including women old enough to be your mom

I maybe potentially (most likely) have covid but my job is being so fucking cagey about if I’m going to be on the receiving end of disciplinary action for not coming in because of it. I have multiple symptoms of it and was in close contact for an extended period of time with two people who have tested positive for it. I went to get an official test from an urgent care place (because I was told I need proof for my job), and was told it would be up to 48 hours until I get results and until then I needed to self isolate and then obviously continue if the test is positive. They wrote me a note saying to excuse me from my job which I emailed to them. But they keep emailing me like “well the cdc says isolation is no longer necessary so…. If you don’t have a fever you’re supposed to come in” and now I’m so paranoid that I’m going to get write ups for not coming in despite having a literal doctor’s note telling me not to because all covid protections have been so thoroughly axed and it’s treated like any “normal” illness (though this shouldn’t be okay for ANY illness, not just covid) and if you don’t have sick time (which most places don’t supply at all, or if they do, it’s a dismal amount) you have to come in or experience the consequences and I’m just 🙃🙃🙃 so anxious about it and also I fucking hate this country for putting MILLIONS of people in this position where they have to choose between not going work but risking being fired and losing their livelihoods which leads to SO many risks if you have no safety net (and most people don’t) OR going in because you just don’t have a choice but you’re miserable and actively spreading highly infectious diseases to multiple other people. I truly don’t understand how there are people who look at this system and act like it’s fine

⏮️ | Dar and Val
It’s Munday!
⏮️ for a glimpse into the distant past (before the timeline of this blog - you can say a character’s name but it may be from the perspective of an ancestor)
[ Darío + Erasmo ]
"What is he thinking?" Imelda sighed, closing her eyes as she cradled her newborn to her chest. In her husband's arms rested the cranky two-year-old her brother had just sent to her via a family friend. Javier couldn't even come to California himself to drop his son off with his sister.
She figured part of it had to do with her husband. Javier had never liked Mauricio, but the man was perfect for her. Their relationship was rock solid, they were in love and had been for a long while, now. Their marriage in the United States had been a very purposeful thing, and just six months later Erasmo was born.
Now, her son was six months old, and she had to adjust her life to include Darío.
"I'm sure he has his reasons." Mauricio was always so forgiving. Imelda did not feel so charitable. As her baby latched on to feed, she sighed, disgruntled.
"His reasons are bullshit. I know it, you know it, and he knows it. He's being an idiot." But, she supposed, this was how Javier was dealing with his wife's passing. Darío wouldn't remember his mother, most likely, but Javier did. He would remember for the rest of his life, see her in his head where she wasn't and could never be again.
Mauricio encouraged Imelda's empathy toward her brother, even as her animosity grew.
"He's doing his best." Mauricio promised, faltering when his wife shot him an annoyed look, "I know that he's... A gruff man. But he is lost without Yurena."
Imelda's eyes softened but her frown didn't leave her face.
"He should be raising their son. He shouldn't be shoving him out of the nest at two years old. Yurena wouldn't want this."
"Yurena would want him brought up with compassion." Mauricio informed, "She would want him to be in a safe place. He is safe here."

it’s kinda funny to me that nobody seems to be mentioning that Nick is lowkey implying GBD is/was trump supporters or in some way far right/white supremacists with both Don’t be Scared and Unholy. Like it’s not subtle they literally talk about covering Rage on their website and hallie mentions that her dad is why she “loves to shoot big guns” (“gated community/yet shotgun on your bedside”) on her insta,,, “you used to cover rage yet praise the police/I blamed it on your folks and how you were raised” isn’t exactly subtle and neither is “red hats who can’t spell Palestine” or “white rioters trying to be hero’s” like the songs are one after another -
