Bit of a rant

Istfg I just stepped in dog crap again because no one wants to train the dog or take it out long enough to crap or whatever it is that it needs and I'm so tired of it and so pissed both because of m poor sock and for the dog

Because I knew this would happen when my dumbass sister said she wanted a dog I freaking told my stupid parents not to get he damn dog.

she didn't take care of her rabbit and her guinea pigs so what in the hell made them think she'd take care of, train, and clean up after a dog?

Her? The same person who threw a crying screaming on the ground tantrum because my brother threw a damn 'party' in the same roblox server as her at the same time as her at fucking 11 years of age? The same intutled brat that throws a fit when asked to do any chores now at almost 13? And you thought this would be a good idea?

How can anyone be this stupid????

Oh and they wanna complain about her animal neglect now?

Where was this when she didnt wanna take care of the other pets anymore? Oh wait they probably didnt even notice because instead of being responsible parents and fixing the mistake of buying an animal for someone who wasnt ready for one like most parents would via taking the animal on as their own they just made their eldest, me, do it.

And i knew it was an especially bad idea since they didn't even bother to learn enough about those last three pets or this one, or any of our pets to know what they needed and then got sad when the dang rabbit and pigs died earlier then they should've even though i and my friend told them they need better cages and bedding but we were "just kids and they were adults so we didn't know better then them and what we were talking about" (wtf was my dad on when he said that he's literally never had a pet before cuz my grandma on that side is literally scared of animals)

And now that iv made it clear that I'm not going to be the one to do it again (I mean ofc ill take him out sometimes if asked I'm not gonna be cruel to the poor thing it didn't ask to be here anymore then I did but there's no way in fuck I'm gonna go out of my way to take care of it like I tried to with the others like iv been down this path quite a few times and I'm not going down it again) they have to deal with it and surprise, surprise! they like it just as much as raising their kids (barely tolerating it)

Istg I wanna give that dog to someone else that'll actually take care of it, hell even my sister wants to give it to someone that'll do a better job but my mom is like

"no we take time care of him fine and the toddlers are too attached to teddy it would hurt them" it'll hurt even more when we're all in the hospital for breathing in too much dog poop bacteria that's probably permanently imbedded into the carpet and then animal services or whatever take him by force since no one but me actually cleans it up and only if its in my room or a communal space like seriously I'm not cleaning it up if its in my brothers room istg that is as much my responsibility as the dog itself is my responsibility.

he should keep his door closed since he's lucky enough to both not have the dog's cage in his room and also have a door.

And you know what else? The easiest solution would be to fix the backyard fence and put in a doggy door - with a lock to keep the raccoons out ofc - but fat chance my dads gonna fix the fence or ask any of our family to do so, like literally you just have to fix the 2 gates not even the whole fence but that's apparently too hard so ig I'll have to figure that out myself after getting a job or whatever ffs

#tw vent #to be clear i dont hate teddy #or any of her past pets #im just annoyed to be the family that gets a bunch of pets and doesnt even bother to take care of them properly #this rant is a bit everywhere but yeah

Star Wars: The Franchise

Back in the mid 70s around Modesto, California, it is doubtful that George Lucas could have imagined that his idea for a space opera would become the second highest grossing movie franchise of all time. There has been some questionable content, however, since the groundbreaking original, and the returns have not been as great. There were also some one-offs that a lot of the younger fans might not be aware of. For my own sanity and organization, here is a listing of all feature length movies in the franchise:

Star Wars IV: A New Hope (1977) -

Definitely the most successful film (heck, one of the most successful films of all time) that made almost a billion dollars at the box office worldwide...in the 80s. Amazing. The story mimics the hero's journey as described by Joseph Campbell, giving it basically the most satisfying story imaginable. Nobody except for friend of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, thought it would be as successful as it was. This kind of popularity meant there was going to be some sequels and, since George Lucas was the man behind the whole thing, only one man was about to get tasked with future success.

Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) -

This was a TV movie that was made to cash in on the massive popularity of the first movie while the second one was in production. It is terrible. I generally try to hold back judgement and point out subjective opinions, but I think I can say that this made-for-TV movie is objectively bad. It is the equivalent of a variety show, a format which was popular at the time, and it was awful. It is widely considered to be one of the worst visual productions of all time. Just to give a hint of its awfulness, the movie follows the adventures of Chewbacca's Wookie family and they only speak in growls with no interpretation or subtitles. Laughably awful.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) -

Arguably the best of the films as far as story and plot, this film was actually directed by Irvin Kershner with a George Lucas story adapted to the screen by Lawrence Kasdan. This film is legitimately fantastic and not just new and fun. It is so well written and directed with the famous reveal between Luke and Darth Vader. It also is incredibly downbeat at the end that perfectly sets up the next film. I personally think this is the best example of fine film in the franchise, although it doesn't have as much big action and no giant space laser. Well worth watching and makes the third film a must see.

Return of the Jedi (1983) -

Well, not as good as the first two, but still pretty darn good. This film introduced the Ewoks and the Endor moon battle. Many fans thought that the introduction of living teddy bears was a mistake that distract from the story. What really made the film, apparently, was the whole sequence at the beginning that takes place at Jabba the Hut's palace and involves Princess Leia in a metal bikini. We also find out that Luke and Leia are twins, so that kiss in the second film suddenly becomes kind of awkward. This becomes kind of a theme from here on out: should we disavow canon or put in throwaway lines and scenes to cover things that were mentioned in previous movies. It plagues the prequels.

The Ewok Adventure (1984) -

I get a lot of garbage about it, but I love these movies because I grew up with them. They are not that great and the copy that I saw over and over had ads from the early 80s throughout. Heavy nostalgia. Also, some of the Ewoks were played by established actors from what is now called Episode VI, Warwick Davis as Wicket and Tony Cox as Widdle. It was a lot of fun, but definitely a higher budgeted TV movie. It did become so successful that it got a theater release as Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. This naming style stuck around for the spin off films that were made in the late 2010s.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) -

Hot dang, they made a second one with Wilford Brimley! Both of the Ewok films were thought up by George Lucas and sold to ABC. Both films were also given special Emmy awards for special effects. I can't fault either Ewok film as far as visuals since both got the ILM treatment. I have stated that I liked both of these movies more than some of the prequels, and I stand by that.

The Phantom Menace (1999) -

The next three films followed the first three episodes in the Star Wars saga and are now generally known as the prequels. They are also pretty widely hated. One reason for that was the introduction of young Anikan Skywalker (eventual Darth Vader) and his growing attachment to Lord Palpatine (Darth Sidious). The problem with the prequels is that it was a path leading to a result that had been established over 20 years ago in the first film. They also introduced a character named Jar-Jar Binks who was just awful. There was a great pod racing scene and an epic Sith vs. Jedi battle that really were the highlights of the film. The music was also pretty epic, but the film was otherwise not that great. It was completely made under the helm of George Lucas and fans were suddenly starting to wonder if he was the genius they had thought him to be. What I consider to be the best YouTube deep dive movie review of all time, a group called Red Letter Media made a seven part review that explains why the movie was such a problem. You can watch the first part and it will auto load all seven here:

(1) Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review (Part 1 of 7) - YouTube

Attack of the Clones (2002) -

Alright, here is where things really start to go down hill. There is a fine actor by the name of Hayden Christiansen that is just awful in this film. He is given nothing to do for the most part. He is supposed to be this amazing Jedi general, but he spends most of his time walking around speaking in a very monotone voice. He does have some fun piloting scenes, but he is written as such a whiny brat. There are two epic battles (the coliseum and Dooku vs. Yoda) and we get to see a bounty hunter in action. It does seem like a lot of fan service glued together by boring politics and horrifically bad acting.

Revenge of the Sith (2005) -

This is widely considered the worst of the prequel movies and generally laughable at some points. There is supposed to be an epic lava battle at the end, but it is just a bunch of screaming about a failed bromance. We get to see the end of the characters in the prequel and set up the original movies...that were now almost 30 years old. It was unsatisfying and not even slightly worth the wait. It was at this time that George Lucas said that there would never be a seventh episode that would follow the original trilogy.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) -

There was a very compelling series of Star Wars shorts in 2003 made by Genndy Tartakovsky that did very well. George Lucas saw this and decided that a lot of the most interesting Star Wars events had occurred during the time between the prequels and the original series. Lucasfilm put out an animated movie to test the waters and it was so successful that 7 seasons of great animated adventures were made to show the epic battles that were supposed to take place between the second and third episode. I honestly believe that this was the very best space action of the entire franchise.

The Force Awakens (2015) -

George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise over to Disney and fans got a new movie that was never supposed to happen. Once Disney came on board, the brand became much more prolific. Until the pandemic, there were plans to put out a Star Wars movie every year for a decade. The first was episode seven and was made by J.J. Abrams. It was similar to the first film (episode IV) in so many ways that fans started to think it was just a remake. It even had a lot of the characters from the original trilogy. It was much better received by fans following the prequels and introduced a storyline that was not already spoiled by previous movies. There was a lot of unnecessary fan service for those who loved the original trilogy. This makes since because it involved Lawrence Kasdan, who helped with the screenplay for episode five and six from the original trilogy.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) -

A full big budget release of a Star Wars movie that wasn't one of the episodes was an interesting idea. It was an entire movie to explain a throwaway line from the original 1977 movie. I lot of people died to get some plans for the big weapon in the first film and people wanted to know exactly how that happened. Actually they didn't. But Disney thought it was a good idea and it seemed like it would make a lot of money (it did). It gave the producers a chance to make a movie with new characters and only mentions of the famous story (this was important because the other actors where making the next episode).

The Last Jedi (2017) -

This was an interesting change of pace from the rest of the films because it seemed to drop the idea of the "chosen one" and say that anyone could be a Jedi. It is basically one giant escape story and is closer to Mad Max in space than it is to the other Star Wars films. It was given in full by Disney to Rian Johnson and it shows. This was the first episode film that had nothing in common with any of the production group from the original trilogy. No Kasdan, no Kirschner, no Lucas, all Disney. It was not very well received.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) -

The worst performing of any of the Star Wars live action feature length films, this was the story of Han Solo. That's it. There is not a lot of history about the character and he is so cool, fans needed to have a stand alone movie about his youth. That's a lie, Disney wanted a movie to come out between episode eight and nine. This was the best that the suits could come up with and it definitely made money, but it is lame.

The Rise of Skywalker (2019) -

Well, the movie completely helmed by Rian Johnson was not popular enough so there was a total retcon situation and this film basically picked up where episode seven left off. It was the same team from episode seven (since that film was so much more popular) and they made a final film that wraps up with a bow. Sort of. There was definitely room in the film world for more Star Wars movies to be made (it is owned by Disney) and I really don't believe it is finished as a franchise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just in case there are people who were nervous that this was the end of the franchise, there is currently a stand alone film called Rogue Squadron that is supposed to come out in 2023. Thank goodness. There was also the popular Mandalorian series on Disney +. But the franchise has been making huge films for almost 45 years now, so maybe it is time to stop. We have the MCU that has made almost twice as much money as the Star Wars universe, so most movie goers have picked their setting that they want to see. Maybe there could be a crossover (I am kidding, please no) and it would be the most watched film of all time.

Blood on the Ice - Chapter II

Drabble AUs ⎢Always Accepting ⎢Pt. 2 of ??? ( Pt. 1 )

( Note: This story will contain slightly graphic descriptions of horror elements. Elements such as blood and gore. Reader discretion is advised. )

“So, how many chocolates have you gotten?”

Glancing up from the comic book on your desk, you observed the sixteen year old Haruna warily as she grinned down at you. It was Valentine’s Day, a day for boys to give sweets to the girls that they liked -- actually, a day where Haruna would breathe down your neck about ‘this being the day’. The last day you’d be single. The first time she conjured up that only saying was about three years ago. And, you’re still single.

It didn’t matter to you, however, not being the type of person to need a relationship in order to feel normal. You didn’t need to keep some sort of hidden status quo. Sure, there was someone that you had eyes for, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he didn’t give you anything.

It wasn’t as if your desk was ever empty on Valentine’s Day either.

“Three, only one had a name on it. And, before you ask, no. It wasn’t his name.” You snorted, closing the book before leaning back in your seat. “How about you?”

You had to admit that you were half listening to Haruna’s answer, as it was the same every year. No one else’s chocolates mattered but Shuhei’s. It was only last year that they finally became boyfriend and girlfriend.

“He got me white chocolate! He knows what I like.” The young girl smiled to herself as she practically hugged the neatly wrapped piece of candy to her chest.

Smiling, you were about to open your comic once again before she furiously tapped you on your shoulder. “Huh?” Confused eyes stared at her before turning to look in the direction Haruna was suddenly gesturing to. Your head turned to see a boy with glasses and helmet hair entering the classroom.

Ryosuke.

Noticing Haruna swiftly sit down in the seat in front of you, trying to act normal, you decided to follow her lead and opened to the comic to some random page. You were barely reading the words, however, as your heart began to beat even faster with the incoming footsteps. He had never given anyone chocolates before, had he? So, wait, why were you getting your hopes up now? Dang that Haruna for making you think something was going to happen!

“Hey, ____?”

Heart nearly stopping, you turned your gaze upwards once again to meet Ryosuke’s eyes. His face was a mix of emotions, but the smile on his face was strong. Kind. His hands were held behind his back until he held out a clear plastic bag, tied with a red, polka dotted, ribbon. Inside the bag were several pieces of chocolate, seemingly made in a strawberry mold.

Despite how confident he appeared, you could see the tint of a natural blush on his cheeks. “Happy Valentine’s Day, this is for you.”

A shy smile tugging on your own lips, you took the candies with a nod. “Thank you, Yamada-kun, I--”

“Oh,” He perked up, shaking his head. “You can call me Ryosuke or...”

“Ryo-chan!” An arm slapped around his shoulder, making the boy jump as Kamiki made himself known. And, he always knew how to make an entrance -- or, kill a mood.

The teacher, who had just entered the classroom, called for everyone’s attention. “Alright, everyone, settle down. The lesson will be begin in a few moments. Take out your English books and I think you’ll all find a nice surprise in your desks, as well.”

With apologetic eyes, Ryosuke allowed Kamiki to pull him to the back of the classroom; leaving you to collect your thoughts on what had just transpired.

“You should’ve seen his face,” Kamiki motioned a finger over to Ryosuke, who had been laying out the food that he brought on the counter. “He was sulking about being interrupted the whole day. He wouldn’t talk to me for a week.”

“Oi!” Ryosuke’s tone was threatening, though his expression was humorous. He left the counter to look in the cupboards for plates, finding them after searching in only two cabinets. “I handmade those chocolates. Or rather, I made them and added them to a mold.”

Leaning a cheek inside of your palm, you tried to keep your face light as they spoke so casually on a subject that caused you anxiety for years. Too many emotions were going through your head at the moment, and it caused you to feel a little out of place among Kamiki, Ryosuke, and Ayumi; the three of them laughing over old times while your mind was stuck on what happened just a short while before.

The dark figure in the distance. The campers disappearing.

Haruna and Shuhei were still out in that dark cold, in fact, having never came back from turning the lights on. Out with that figure.

Unable to stand sitting idly anymore, you reached for your cellphone to call Haruna. It had been nearly thirty minutes since they left and the burning, familiar, feeling of anxiety was rising in your chest. However, when you took the gadget off of sleep mode, all thoughts of contact were erased upon seeing no bars.

No service.

“Haruna and Shuhei have sure been gone a while, haven’t they?” Your lips moved without thought, eyes still fixed on your cellphone with a blank gaze as if the sign of no reception was a lie. That, maybe, the bars would raise eventually or you would get a lucky text from the young woman herself. No luck on that.

Ayumi shot Kamiki and Ryosuke a look, a grin tugging on her mouth, before speaking up. “Well, there is a small cabin somewhere on this property. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ditched us to just go there, instead of giving us light.” She and Kamiki burst out laughing, even Ryosuke giving a poorly stifled chuckle or two.

That answered the question of why there might not be light, but did little else to soothe you as your mind went to the figure. It was too tall to be Shuhei, wasn’t it? Your mouth nearly opened to tell the others about it, before you brushed it off. They just wanted to have a good time and would sooner tell you it actually was Shuhei or Haruna instead.

Gaze downturned to the counter, you were already ready to get this weekend getaway over with before it even began. This place just didn’t sit right with you anymore.

A plate was gently pushed in your direction. On it laid a rice ball and a light sandwich. Your favorite sort of rice ball, too. Head still turned downward, you glanced up at Ryosuke while attempting to remember when the last time you ate was. Better yet, when was the last time you ate something that Ryosuke made since that Valentine’s Day so long ago?

If only you could do so on a better occasion.

Raising your head up, you took the rice ball in hand before smiling weakly. “Thank you.” You nearly opened your mouth to eat the tasty treat before noticing something was off inside of the room. “...Huh?”

Ayumi and Kamiki had left, likely sneaking off together while you were brooding about Haruna and Shuhei. Shoot. Was it really just you and Ryosuke in the kitchen?

Now, you truly couldn’t fully enjoy what he made.

Feeling suddenly self-conscious, you tentatively bit into the rice ball. Ryosuke had since made himself comfortable beside you with his own plate and thoughts of everything that happened previously in the night melted away from your mind. Right now, only the two of you existed in the world.

“You know, I’m really looking forward to these next few days.”

Your heart skipped a beat as he spoke, listening quietly.

A better look at him would show you that Ryosuke had barely touched his food, idly analyzing the sandwich in his hand rather than eating it. His head turned to face you, both of your eyes happening to meet at that moment. Eyes downturning, suddenly timid, for only a second, he brought them back up with a small smile. “We’ve known each other for so long, but we haven’t spent much time together. I, uh...” He seemed to try and find the right words to say. “Maybe it’s not such a secret anymore. I’m not good at holding secrets when it comes to myself and how I feel.”

Meanwhile, you had only managed to finish half of your rice ball; your tongue not up to taste much and your stomach trying to figure out if it was woozy or hungry. Probably both, but it wouldn’t be able to stomach much more. Was Ryosuke trying to say what you thought he was?

Exhaling, he set the sandwich down without taking a single bite and turned his body almost fully toward you. It was now or never, he wasn’t a little high schooler trying to figure out if his crush liked him anymore or not. If he wanted to find out, he had to make a move. “I know throughout the years we’ve sort of had a hot and cold relationship. Actually, tepid is probably a better word.” The young man had to laugh at that, hands moving as he tried to make his point. “But, I want to change that. I honestly never wanted to be just your friend. I actually wanted to be--”

A rattle pounded at the front door; a knock. Ryosuke paused with a slightly agitated expression and stood up. You followed closely behind as he went to answer the door, peeking over his shoulder. The two of you were met with nothing by the cold snow falling down and fresh footprints on the doorstep. “What the...” You heard him mumble. The footsteps trailed off to the side of the house, farther than either of you could track inside. He closed the door once again and gave you a shrug of his shoulders. “I’m sure it’s one of the guys playing a joke on us.” Thinking of a name in particular, you noticed a shift in his features. A coldness. “Probably Kamiki.”

He sighed and you knew the moment that he wanted to create was tarnished by whoever intruded. Pushing aside the unease you felt with everything, Ryosuke deserved an answer back from his almost-confession. A confession that you had been waiting on for years. “I want to be more than your friend too.”

His head shot up. “What?” He heard, he just wanted clarification.

You gave a laugh, one of hesitance. There was so much on your mind and suddenly confessions seemed so trivial when your friends were out in the cold. Why couldn’t this have been done at another time?

Why couldn’t you have confessed in high school like everyone else?

Mouth fixing to say one thing, your mind truly wanted to say another and a long pause followed. Ryosuke seemed to notice this and studied your doubtful face, stepping closer to put a hand on your shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

You took your cellphone out of your pocket, tapping on the screen before showing him a text you had gotten from Haruna only a minute or so ago -- when the knock on the front door happened. There was no sentence, not even a few words, just a jumble of text. Not even a jumble of text, really.

If one unscrambled it, the word would spell out ‘help’.

VII

The wind was strong as you trudged through the snowy plains, Ryosuke right behind you. He had insisted on being the one to walk in front, for protection, though your feet seemed to move much faster than his and you had no patience. It was a matter to bring the police into, you knew, but neither of you had any reception. Haruna’s text was a stroke of pure luck and you hadn’t had service since. The next best thing was the rangers station miles away, off of the private property.

But, first, you needed to find Ayumi and Shuhei. They weren’t anywhere to be found inside of the house.

“Are you sure that she didn’t make a mistake?” He tried to reason with you.

A glance back at him told the man everything he needed to know. You weren’t turning back, you were going to find your best friend. Your feet never stopped, arms crossed in an attempt to stay warm. The snowfall as let up, not blinding you as much as it did upon coming to the lodge. It was perfect to find someone in, for the moment.

“I don’t care.” You answered indignantly. “I don’t care if we find the both of them and they laugh at me for getting worried. Heck, I don’t care if we find them half-naked. As long as they’re alright.”

You listened to the silence that followed, already knowing that Ryosuke wouldn’t put up much of a fight. He’d known you long enough to trust your judgement. He wouldn’t call you paranoid or say you’re overthinking. “Alright.” He finally spoke, hurrying to walk in stride with you. “Just...don’t do anything foolish. If she’s in real trouble then we need to head straight for the ranger’s station.”

“Let me check on the cabin that Ayumi and Shuhei talked about first. It shouldn’t be farther.” About five more minutes away, maybe? “She and I stayed there one night, when we were teenagers.”

“You’ve been here before?”

“Once,” You held up a finger. “It wasn’t the fondest of memories either. We were with her parents, but she and I wanted to sneak away and have a ‘lodge of our own’. That was probably the scariest night of my life.” Next to this one. “Walking through the snow, in the pitch black of night, tree rustling...You feel so small and helpless, like anything can jump out at you and take you away, and no one would be any the wiser.”

A hand was placed on your forearm, more surprising you than startling you, and you uncrossed your arms. Ryosuke’s hand was quick to seek out yours, his goal accomplished. If it weren’t for the seriousness of the situation, you’d have almost laughed. Giving a simple squeeze of his hand, you felt a little braver.

Minutes passed, your nose growing cold as an icicle. Relief washed over you to find the cabin in sight, tugging Ryosuke’s arm as you jogged over to it. “It’s over there!” You announced, pointing with your free hand.

“Ow!” He hurried to keep pace with you. “Telling me before we started running would’ve been nice!”

He started to say something else before you gave a stiff halt, his body colliding with yours. “What’s the matter?” Unlinking his hand with yours, he adjusted the cap on his head before giving you a once over. Your eyes were wide, locked on the cabin, and his gaze followed before fear eventually rose in his own heart. “Oh, shit...”

The front door was ajar, with with the window in the center broken out; as well as the window right beside it -- as if someone tried to break in. The only light source in the cabin as been a weak fireplace, signaling that it had been used recently. On the ground was a trail, as if someone had been dragged away. Though, there had been something strange about the trail.

It suddenly ended only a few feet away from the door.

Your body moved on it’s own, heading towards the cabin before Ryosuke immediately took your arm. His touch was gentle, yet firm as he looked into your eyes; conveying a silent message to not do anything foolish.

You wanted to listen to him. You really did.

A pained cry sounded from the cabin. It was a woman’s sob, growing louder by the second. Before you could take another step, Ryosuke was a step ahead as he tossed another look your way. Opening the door fully, an arm was held protectively in front of you as he stepped inside. From the first glance, it was obvious what had went on inside.

A fight. Or, a struggle, was more like it.

A glass lamp had been thrown near the door, broken, Shuhei’s coat and shirt laid idle on the floor, and glass shards were scattered on the wooden floor. It appeared that not only two, but all of the windows in the cabin were broken. The most alarming display of all were the bloody droplets on the floor. Not much, but enough to tell that whoever broke in was violent.

A figure emerged from the shadows. It was Haruna, without her coat and shivering. Her face, frightened and doe eyed, confirmed your suspicions. She had truly been asking for help in that text. Her cheeks were wet with tears as the young women let more run down, opening her arms as she made a desperate rush for you.

“He’s gone...” You could barely hear her voice, her face buried within your coat.

Like before, Ryosuke knew the answer but needed clarification. “Who? How?”

Haruna’s head shook. Her whole body shook, as she couldn’t seem to form the words. “Shuhei,” She finally choked out. “That man took him! He taunted us like we were toys and broke the windows, then jammed the door so we couldn’t leave. Then...then he...”

“He what?” You almost didn’t want to know.

Haruna’s watery eyes met yours, her gaze willing you to believe her next words.

“He broke in. He dragged Shuhei outside and flew...He flew away.”

Text

I look at my phone, a text from Grace reads “I’ll be there in 15.” That was an hour ago. I toss it onto the ottoman, and exhale. She’s always late. In Grace time, fifteen minutes could mean, “Sorry there was traffic and by the time it cleared up it was late so I went home.” Which I know is bull because Grace hardly ever goes home anymore. We’ve been best friends since pre-k. I’m one of those lucky ones who has had a friend all throughout elementary school, and middle school and now high school, and we’ve been through absolutely everything you could possibly think of together. We really have done so much together, which is why I’m terrified to lose Grace to those people she calls friends, because we still have so much to experience. The relationship she has with them is toxic. They have done nothing but turn her into a shell of the Grace she was before she got into the drinking and the drugs. How after school special is my life? When people look at our relationship they think I’m the strong one, the rock, the backbone of our crazy pairing but nobody knows how much I need Grace in my life. Sometimes I think Grace knows and then other times, I don’t even know if she’s conscious. The lights of Grace’s Camry flood my living room. She knocks on the door and I open it mid knock. She snickers and stumbles into the dining room, my heart sinks. Her face was covered in a whitish powder. I prayed at that moment that maybe, just maybe, she had previously been baking and forgot to check in the mirror.

“COCAINE, WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET COCAINE?”

She just put her finger to my mouth and said, “Shh”, and continued to laugh. She plopped down onto the couch and grabbed the remote.

“So girly, whatcha watchin’?” “OH MY GOD AND YOU DROVE HERE, DEAR GOD, OH THIS IS JUST”- and then she was up, rummaging through the pantry, “Where do ya’ll keep those little dip’n sticks with the nutella ?”

I take a deep breath and try to “We’re out, Grace.” “Dang, my sweet tooth is aching right now.”

“Here have some Oreos,” handing her the pack I was just devouring.

She gleefully accepts them, “Can I have some milk ?”

I reluctantly comply with her wish, shuffling to the kitchen to retrieve the milk. When i come back into the living, Grace’s eyes are just beginning to roll into the back of her head and her breathing pace is rapidly increasing.

I immediately grab my keys and then wrestle Grace onto my shoulders. She’s been doing drugs for a while now, usually molly and acid, so I’ve sometimes seen her experience a bad trip. More than fear or anxiety I feel angry. I feel the most profound anger as I push a slurring and drooling Grace into my backseat and prepare to take her to the hospital, again.

I start the engine and pull out out of the driveway, pausing to rest my head on the wheel. I turn around to look at Grace slumped over .

“What in the hell is wrong with you?”

I pass the dark empty playground and the high school where we’d both been hours before. I turned onto Cashua dr. and the world lights up, the street is illuminated by the neon signs in the local pizza joint’s window, the Krispy Kreme sign and every other shop or restaurant on the strip.

I pushed down hard on the gas and the world was dark again. The roads were surprisingly empty for a Friday night, everybody’s probably at a house party or on a date, or doing absolutely nothing, but I seriously doubt any single person is carting their druggie best friend to the ER. The emergency room sign glows red in my peripheral. I park and check to see if she is still unconscious. I sprint to the desk attendant and I am greeted by a waiting area that is so white it’s almost blinding. “Um, my friend here has apparently been doing cocaine, so can you guys do your thing and not let her OD tonight?” She dials some number and two nurses soon come around the corner with a stretcher. I take them to my car and after Grace is wheeled away I’m handed a clipboard. I really don’t know what do do with the paper work, “Can I wait until her mother gets here so she can do this?”

“Sure honey.”

My head hurts, my stomach hurts, why is this happening? I know Grace has been having problems for a while, I thought it was just a small thing, I should have known better than to believe that. Ugh. My stomach is in knots, I walk to the vending machines scanning the buttons for a ginger ale. I drop in the coins and the tinks and ker-plunks echo down the corridor. As I wait for my drink to dispense itself, I lay my head against the front of the machine and the vibration hums throughout my body. I take a sip and it tingles all the way down. I feel it calming my gurgling insides. I pull out my phone and call Caleb.

“Hey Win, whatsup?”

“Its Grace, she came to my house high on cocaine.”

The line is silent. Caleb sighs, “Where do you even”-

“I know that’s what I said.”

He sighs heavier this time, “I think that its,”-

“Yea, me too,”

“Okay I’ll call my mom, you call yours.”

“Yea okay see you soon.”

“Bye.”

I slump down in the chair, sliding on the pleather, and hold the cold can to my forehead, closing my eyes. I open them again and look at the map of the hospital on the wall. The pediatric wing is in yellow, so bright actually it kind of burns. I smile because it reminds me of the time in fourth grade when I had appendicitis and I got to miss school to stay in the hospital and how Grace wouldn’t have it. She cried when visiting hours were over, so her parents let her stay and spend the night in the room with me. I’m not sure if it was because she would genuinely miss me for those 7 hours or if she was just a little bit jealous, not that she ever showed an inkling of the latter. We’d had slumber parties before but never in a hospital, she braided my kinky, unmanageable hair and I painted her nails, we literally did the same thing at our regular sleepovers but the fact that we were in a hospital had made it a whole new ordeal.

“Winifred, Winnie honey, wake up.”

I jolted upright in my seat. My mother’s worried eyes gazed down at me, I looked to my left and Caleb was consoling Mrs. Devin. My eyes pricked, and I could feel the tears beginning to brim over. What kind of friend was I, letting Grace poison herself and not telling a soul?

“I’m really sorry,” I walked over to my “other” mom picking at my nails “I just didn’t know what to do.”

Nobody knows what to do when their smart, and kind and beautiful best friend starts abusing every drug in the dictionary, especially when you’re a 17 year old honors student, you hear of stories like this on Lifetime movies, you don’t live it. She opened her arms and hugged me tightly, “It’ll be okay.” she whispered. Just then the doctor walked in. Clearing his throat, “Shortly after Grace was omitted we were about to administer a sedative, when she went into sudden cardiac arrest. Thankfully she was already in the care of trained medical professionals, we have moved her but you can come on in and see her now.”

I walked into Grace’s room. She had a couple of IVs in her arm and she looked like she was sleeping. I pulled a chair beside her bed and sat down.

“Grace, can you hear me?”

“Mhm.”

“Look at me.”

The stiff white pillowcase rustled under her messy hair.

“What,” she said hoarsely, but not hoarse enough for me not to catch the bite at the end.

“Don’t do that, don’t even.”

“No Winnie, I think I will, because you just ruined my life.”

“I’m gonna chalk that up to the drugs so I don’t knock you the hell out. Grace you ruined your own life and almost lost it today. I don’t think you-”

“NO,” she choked out, you don’t understand. Now that my mom knows about everything I’ll be grounded forever. What happened to having my back?”

I looked at the EKG. Her heartbeat was steady.

I lunged out of my chair and slapped her hard across the face. I grabbed her arm and held my face inches from hers so she could see my bloodshot eyes and the tears starting to spill.

I swallowed my sobs, “Grace, you’re so fucking screwed up. You almost died, you almost left your mom and Caleb and me. What about having MY back.”

Her petrified stare was the hint that I was starting to get through to her.

“You’re a goddamn fool Grace. All the crap you have done. Levels to this.”

She stammered, searching for words. I cut her off. I had long gone stopped trying to hold back my tears

“I was so scared Grace. I had to tell your mom I knew you had been doing this stuff for years. I can only imagine the anger...”

Tears were streaming down Grace’s face. I wiped her sullen cheeks, one with a faint red glow.

“It’s okay Grace, you’re okay now. When our family comes in here you are going to tell them you want to go to rehab, okay? That you want to get better and that you never want to do drugs again, okay?

“Okay.”

“Okay,” I sighed and called them in from the hallway.

more botw blogging, SUPER spoilery

this is a real long post sorry normally i break these up and this time i didn’t

and finally, off we go to a new province

this time im making its tower my first stop, since i can see it from here

i tried to paraglide across the river but i didn't have enough height so i landed on the cliffside and ITS RAINING!!!!! for fucks sake

i cant believe this game actually got me to hate rain..........

not only that but when i died in the water it didn't reload me back to where i started to glide from but a bit of cliff i stood on lol so #struggles right from the first minute

rain for the next 3 hours.......and i gotta climb it in the rain....jesus

i guess i could fast travel but i'd have to walk all the way back there :/

hmm. maybe the gae's throwing me the rain on purpose. an npc mentioned this river was notoriously difficult to cross :///

yep as soon as i turned away: it cleared. Great

well i see some bridge-like things further downstream i guess i'll check that out

lol jk i managed to glide across a different part and climb

like i saw my forecast change but then it changed back to sun so w/e i'll take it im up here now

aaaaah i can see so many cool things from here!!!!! i cant wait to explore them all!!!! that #new province feel

i hate like, feeling obligated to track down every last bit of stuff in the old ones when you're seeing new exciting stuff

but i love the feel of getting to a new one and not even knowing which cool thing to check out first

ohhh my god lol there's a big-ass bokoblin camp on the way to the tower i think i see a moblin but im not sure

aaaand im dead

at least there werernt any moblins!

tbh it isnt a difficult camp i just wasnt vigilant about healing

me every time i see something new: what the Fuck is that!?

in this case it was an ice wizzrobe which made it snow EVERYWHERE oh my god

That Was Difficult

if i didn't have my fire arrows and lynel bow it would have taken way longer

i died again!!!

those weird pattern bokoblins have SO much attack power ):

come on i have to clear out the camp AGAIN? and kill the wizzrobe?

naw dude i am skipping this nonsense i am going straight up the fucking cliff

HA i sniped them from above >:3

there's a zora on top of this tower!!!!!!!

omg poor thing he can't get back down i wish i could carry him on my paraglider

man i love the tower cutscenes and music and the way they unfold it's so cool

BIG SHINY NEW PROVINCE YYYYEAH!!!!

oh hey i found another zora down near these bridges

they all want me to go see their prince haha noooo i have too much to explore!!!

oooh it's so easy to get all turned around on these bridge thingies

man i love this province it's SO pretty

ah i found a goron on a sandbar!! how did you get out here with all this water...

nooo the blood moon again i knew it was coming the music has been funny all night >:(

lol jk the music faked me out its 2am and i warped to the stable for nothing (i was trying to get that one dude's reaction)

i came back and did the shrine and found another zora!! lol they all really want me to go see that dude

there's a thing i need to climb but ugh rain

while i was bored i chopped grass and attached octo balloons to things

now i am in the wetlands which are AWFUL to walk through i can practically feel the mud squishing between my toes and i want to die lmao

there are horses here!! i miss mine ):

ive done enough shrines now to get another upgrade but i dont feel like doing all that backtracking blegh

oh noooo i see a guardian out here, a moving one ;_;

ah it's been awhile since i failed to fight the still ones on the plateau...i wonder what the start screen meant by "the right tools" ive got a lot of damn tools!! did they mean arrows??

lol yet another zora telling me to meet with the prince.........dude

this prince must be either desperate or spoiled

okay maybe its a glitch but i think?? i see?? a flying island in the distance? What The Fuck

wait no it looks kind of like a ship or giant bird??

my pins don't stick to it, it's definitely moving around

jesus fuck

AHAHAH FUCK THE GUARDIAN SAW ME

HAD TO TAKE REFUSE IN THE FUCKING SHRINE

jesus christ i hate those things!!!! you can't kill them!!!!!!!

NO oh my god there's a hinox over here too

why this Why This

lol the hinox fighting music is giving me trauma flashbacks

actually that wasnt so bad with a defense elixir on

maybe it's just me but this province feels kinda small? i feel like i could finish exploring it p quickly, which is nice

not that i'm not having fun but i know i'm going so slowly ):

me every five seconds: i miss my hooorse i want one to ride around to go faaaaster

i guess...i could catch...one of these

and like. not register it bc the stable is 10000 miles away but

a temp ride. let's see if i can. need to use up some of my sneak potions anyways

i caught one and rode it awhile, but my heart's not in training it...i want My Horse

oh my god wait i hear town music!! is this a stable right here!! AAAAAH

so i did catch a pretty black one and named it luna - had to let the first one i caught go lol but it didn't have great stats and i only rode it once so it'll be happier in the wild probably

KASS IS AT THIS STABLE IM SO HAPPY SO IS HESTU

he's playing epona's song i'm gonna CRY

I MISS EPONA IM DYING

oh my god he had a story for me!! the same one that impa told!!!!! man

the music is still so good. fuck.

lmao i was talking to one dude and he was like well might as well head back inside ugh that place is so filthy and the women so free you might as well call it a manfill

UM?? NINTENDO??

i can see hyrule castle super close from where i am and it looks super scary and i super want nothing to do with it rn

i get the feeling you can like, go in there whenever? maybe even do the endgame stuff early? but oh my god i Dont wanna

OMG i just mounted a bear

i read that you could ride things other than horses but holy shit lmao

i mean

it killed me after i got off, but man

sadly i must now board my horse and continue with The Story see i explored the non-story bits of that province SUPER quickly dang

oh no

this shrine is called a minor test of strength

Oh No

Why, God

oh. that was actually like SUPER easy compared to the other two haha phew

this lady at the crossroads said the prince was creepy omg i knew there was something, ahaha, excuse me, "fishy"

whoa i love his music theme!!

lmao i always get so SHOCKED when they talk!!! even still!!!!!

voice acted cutscenes of this game are like fmvs of final fantasy games in generations 5-7 lol

oh my god...the wink/sparkle thing...he's such a HAM

he's flattering me TOO much omg dude what do you want.......

ok, ok, i like him

he doesn't seem very trustworthy but since his people are in trouble i'll cut him some slack on that one

oh nooo i gotta climb this in the rain......

ah, it's sunshowering tho! that's kinda neat

i just got attacked by octoroks and my heart wept a little because traveling up zora's river dodging octoroks to get to and save zora's domain...I've Been Here Before

listen, i could write a book on this

(lol i did write 300k on this but shhh that was a long time ago)

like...if link is actually a reincarnation does he get flashes of memory

oot happened in every timeline but i know wind waker didn't

but do you think assuming this is in the same timeline as wind waker something in him feels at home the first time he sails a raft again

or hears kass play epona's song at the ranch

or ducks an octorok on his way to zora's domain

people treat the incarnation thing as a kind of tragedy - the world will never be free of evil so long as ganon/ganondorf exists

but maybe there's happiness in it too

no matter what happens, no matter how sad the ending - i mean hell, in this very game, link and zelda LOST

no matter what though, it's guaranteed that they'll see each other again

over and over and over without end, link and zelda are gonna meet and be together for awhile while they defend hyrule again

frankly if that's not a soulmate idk what is

and frankly i'm perpetually offended that they don't develop ganondorf the man more like they did in wind waker...that was the Peak tbqh

i would kill for something like that again

anyway

i love how present the current here is, like with the stuff floating down the river, thats a NICE touch

tbh it's actually really nice that he keeps uselessly checking on me on the way up the river

like, i've been so lonely

even now i miss my companion going "what's WITH that guy" like they probably would if i had one

so this is nice. tbh.

i know it was probably a deliberate choice and makes the game stronger but a companion for this game, someone to share it with...that would've been cool

even just zelda as the protag, she could do some internal narration

but the whole thing is just so quiet.

this place is so pretty tho?? in the distance i see these like, pink coral looking plant things, and the blue columns and bridges are gorgeous

OH NO LIGHTNING GOD WHY

i think its an area thing too i cant just wait it out lmao im gonna Die

oh jk it's just rain now

idk why my entire forcecast changes to a particular type of weather and its only like that a few seconds...super weird and annoying

lol sidon all "you're almost halfway there i believe in you!!" and not helping fight and link's little "k" wave

i love link as a silent protag even if i did have him talk in my writing like it's so endearing

i wonder if link is like sgr like "i am 100 years old what is this zora kid even doing. what is he EVEN DOING."

lol just had to dodge some rocks rollin down a hill

you see this is what i mean. there's a weird sense of familiarity and nostalgia if you've played the games a lot. i wonder if the spirit of the hero feels that way with each new adventure, too

like if he's okay doomed to an eternity of fighting and parting with zelda over and over

because in the end he always gets to do this again

like i can see the spirit of the princess/goddess being high key miserable about those circumstances but i wonder if the spirit of the hero is maybe secretly glad

because part of him will always yearn for the next adventure

he never COULD be happy settling because this is what he was born for

WE love doing this again and again and again, maybe it's not such a stretch to think the spirit of the hero does too

or maybe i'm projecting so hard onto him because undertale has so successfully blurred the line between the player and the game for me LMAO

oh man i just noticed all the names on this map

lulu, mikau ;_;

i miss them!!!!

just once i wish zelda games would feature the same side characters in two or three titles

we never got to see saria or darunia or lulu again

we get to come back to the world but every friend we've ever made has been gone

like some narnia shit i swear to god

lol this is why i should never do story all i do is rant about My Zelda Feels, which are literally endless

oh NICE battle with a blue moblin on the bridge!!!!

ah i like the zora history here too please give me all the worldbuilding i wanna know everything about this world that i can bc rn all i know is "we got Fucked"

i guess i also know about the automans but i need More

i say, while procrastinating on getting to the story

in other news i have an ice and lightning rod which i havent bothered trying to use

bc when i tried to use the boomerang i failed utterly lol

but these? holy shit dude these are Powerful when you actually land a magic hit like Dang

i Love them im never avoiding another wizzrobe again (thats where they drop from)

oh wow

i finally made it, and

man. oh man. it's so beautiful

i wish i could see if better

jesus the zoras always had the prettiest parts of the games imo

OH NO THE MUSIC

OH NO!!! im gonna cry omg

it's the same melody from oot i think!! oh my god!!!!!!

omg there's a zora here named rivan who says he knows me?!?!

omg no he's listing some of link's old pals from Before im so sad why can't he remember

OOOH i shouldn't speak to the elderly bc apparently i am "guilty" of something?? i love this development PLEASE tell me more

i love that they all age so slowly #nice

am i walking into a fucking execution lmao sidon don't play me......

omg the little zora kids are adorable!!!

omg there's a statue of the zora champion ;_;

man this is all so cool i wanna know EVERYTHING about what happened back then!!!!

lol the shrine here was SUPER nerve wracking god you had to like, roll the giant ball down a hill and stop time at JUST the right moment skjghf

oh my gosh ANOTHER zora who knows me (lol "linny")

im so ;w; they all know me!!!!!!

i slept on the blissful water bed at the inn and was mystified and alarmed by the sound effects but i got an extra stamina wheel and 3 extra hearts!!! god damn you can't beat that shit

im so amazed at how many people knew link and like, blame him? i wanna know so bad what happened, i wanna know more about mipha

ten bucks says she's still alive and like trapped in the divine beast but corrupted

or a ghost or something like the old man ;_;

aww zoras sleep in the water aw aw :3

i'm loving this theme of link sleeping for so long like at first i thought of sgr but i just realized it's also like oot (and i can't believe i didn't make that connection first...)

like in oot the people who knew him Before are so happy to see him again and are sure he can help them

but in this game it's a bit mixed

and in this game we don't know the details of 100 years ago yet ;_;

zora's domain here is like. so GLOWY. reminds me of waterfall from undertale tbh lol i wanna paint it

so i'm talking to the king and this one elderly zora goes "the hylians abused an ancient society's power to turn hyrule into what it is today" & like...tbh my dude you have a point. if they had never gotten those guardians out then they couldn't have turned on them

oh my GOD

i just got my first look at a divine beast and i can't believe i was calling them jaegers

my jaw dropped irl holy shit

like that thing truly looks both divine and beastly (this one is an elephant)

is mipha still in there as like a ghost ;_;

it's so clear how much everyone misses her

and she seemed so sweet in the one short memory i recovered

every time sidon does his sparkle smile i love him a little more

i didn't trust him at first bc he seemed a little too eager but now i see he's just doing his best!!!!

especially as someone who thinks radically and progressively in a society where elders stay around hundreds of years

YESSSSS I GOT ZORA ARMOR!!!! YES!!!!!!!!

SWIM SPEED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omfg and it's an engagement thing just like the sapphire

MADE BY MIPHA?

thats right that other lady said link was supposed to choose between her and mipha

listen mipha seems cool and all but i've been shipping zelink for 19 years, so

oh NO, mipha had feelings for link

oh no poor mipha...oh my god

WAIT AM I ABOUT TO GET ANOTHER MEMORY??? OH MY GOD!!!!!

"no matter how bad the wound i will ALWAYS" heal you and then link wakes up in water

"you are quivering like a hatchling" PLEASE protect my poor son

muzu is making me sad dude he misses her so much and he hates this so much

ooooh i have to fight another lynel for shock arrows...good Lord im not looking forward to that

I KNEW IT

"calamity ganon took control of the beasts and trapped the champions inside" yep either she's still alive like link and zelda or her body is in there and so is her fucking ghost

DUDE!! i just swam up my first waterfall and it was AWESOME!!!!!
