That old man actually has no effect on me any more

[duskbornraven]

Too lazy to be clever but this is where my dumbass has been.

Still, worth it.

Posted about this on my other blog but dude. Pro tip? Don't get a tattoo on the forearm of your dominant hand and expect it to be be easy to write.

My adult life desk job even sucks right now.

He actually made a normal tweet 😭. And pookie you are a legend ❤️

[duskbornraven]

I have a playlist for getting this writing done and man does it help. But I am on my second draft of this wip and I just don't know if I like it still but we're six thousand words in and I might just have to suck it up and make it work

Thank you so much! I love writing Jack as a little bit petty if not supportive

"Someone in this relationship has to sleep."

You should be asleep, should have been asleep hours ago really but your brain wouldn't slow down. Wouldn't stop thinking about, well everything. Jack had caught you propped up in bed trying to find something to watch until sleep took you.

"I actually get a few hours most of the time so I'm at least a little better than you."

"Something on your mind?"

The blankets pulled away from you just a little under his weight as Jack settled on the bed next to you.

"Can I say everything?" The remote aboned in your lap as you focus shifted to him.

"What specificly right now then?" Those stupidly pretty eyes a little to knowing as he watched you.

"I'm thinking about how I should be tired but I can't make myself be tired. That I should have done so many things better than I did today."

"Yesterday."

"Jack."

He sighed arm slipping around your shoulders and pulling you into his side, forcing you to actually lay down fully.

"Let me tell you as your doctor-"

"You're not my doctor." You could hear the exasperated look he gave you more than you saw it as he continued.

"-as a doctor, I have to tell you that you need to sleep."

Tucked against him it was getting harder to stay awake, the familiar timbre of his voice and the warmth of him beside you were already helping. Your eyelids feeling heavy and your thoughts slowing to a crawl.

"Keep talking then, it helps." He could hear the sleepy edge to your voice, sleep starting to take you.

Jack leaned forward briefly to press a kiss to the top of your head before he started talking again. Really about nothing, and a bit of everything. His warm hand rubbing circles into your lower back as you sank further into him until you finally fell asleep in his arms.

"Night sweetheart" whispered into the still bedroom as he felt his own eyes grow heavy. The only sound in the room the steady, familiar sound of your breathing.

Guess who should have been asleep hours ago? I'll come back tomorrow and reread this and edit.

This was so good, I am so obsessed!!

If I may add that if we have children soccer team rivalries going on on night shift there is no way Abbot doesn't show all the support he can for Shen, just to be annoying.

i saw @science-hoes and @duskbornraven pitt dad posting and was inspired to chime in about my babydads🙂‍↕️do you guys mind if the meme page speaks a little drabble writer tonight....

emery walsh

- starts planning and preparing as soon as the concept of having a kid is brought up

- being a doctor she obv has knowledge of pregnancy, birth, child development, etc. but during this time period she becomes an expert

- reading every book, article, blog, etc. to make everything as perfect as possible, from getting the absolute best crib mattress available to what classical music to play to the baby in utero to ensure they come out a genius

- realistically does not have the time or energy to coach sports but does it anyway

- emery played soccer all throughout her childhood into undergrad so she takes coaching her kids' soccer team extremely seriously

- @duskbornraven mentioned in that shen would coach his kids' soccer team as well - i like to think that walsh and shen coach in the same league and she treats every game their teams play against each other like the world cup final. also absolutely bullies him the next shift after the game if her team beats his

- in fact, she takes all of her kids' activities and events extremely seriously. games, recitals, birthday parties, field trips, if it's important to her kids, she's there

- has her camera out for all of it too, showing off pictures and videos to anyone she can

- doesn't think she'll have any problem returning to work after one of her kids is born, but it always stings

- the promise of a new photo of her baby/babies sent to her phone every few hours keeps her going through her shift until she gets to be home again

parker ellis

- ellis is a laid back but extremely caring parent

- loves having her kids in the baby wrap/carrier on her chest when they're babies

- carries into their older childhood too, her kids are always with her - working in the yard holding a tiny watering can, sitting by her on a stool at the kitchen counter, and in the grocery cart seat helping her shop

- cannot stand children's music. her kids listen to whatever she's listening to and know all the words, which she finds funny until they sing the parts with swear words at preschool

- on occasion lets her kids stay up late, have extra dessert, make messes - mostly to her own amusement

- particularly deadset on teaching her kids how to ride a bike - dedicates her weekends off to it and feels more excitement watching them take off on their own than she did graduating medical school

- also loves showing her kids off - she has the coolest, cutest, funniest, smartest kids and wants everyone to know

samira mohan

- crunchy in a cute, artsy, naturey way and not in a scary antimedicine way obv

- loves taking her kids to the park, library, music and art classes, etc.

- in typical mohan fashion - cares so much

- nothing samira does for her children is done without an immense amount of thought and meaning behind it

- every birthday party and big event is planned with extreme attention to detail, every snack and meal made in accordance to specific nutritional needs and preferences, every outfit laid out with comfort and plans for the day in mind

- often overworks herself in the process, but has learned how to cope with it better as she's grown alongside her children

- is not an athlete whatsoever but if her kids play sports she is the biggest fan cheering from the sidelines

- designated post-game snack bringer for the team

Gotta add my thoughts to The Pitt dad's conversation (largely inspired by @science-hoes and the phenomenal Jack and Robby dad posts)

John Shen has to be the definition of the cool dad in the neighborhood. But not the type of dad that tries too hard to be cool. He is just legit cool. The man plays video games and knows the deep lore about the cool cartoons. Of course the kids like talking to him.

For a father of two and an ER Doc you'd think the man would have no time for anything outside of his own little family. But he coaches for his son's soccer league. He takes his daughter to her softball games and makes everyone he can.

He is of course fuled by coffee and is a master of the power nap. But he wants to be there, wants to show up while it matters the most for them. When they get older they understand that dad probably should sleep more during the day. But until then John wants to be the parent his little family deserves.

He's by no means the best dad on the planet all the time but if he manages to hit that target once a year? He's happy with that. The struggle comes when he and the wife have to break the news to the kids that they're about to get a brand new baby brother on the way.

Which goes about as well as either of them hope.

[duskbornraven]

Anyway Parker Ellis deserves the world🫶🏻

One man cannot be this attractive, it seems unfair

it’s not a hear me out, it’s a hold me back

Is this my favorite television performance of all time? It’s really fucking up there if not.

[duskbornraven]

born to marry him, forced to read fanfics about him

[duskbornraven]

Something I keep thinking about and may need to actually find a way to write out but like. It has to be before The Bear is actually finished and open.

We've seen Richie wrestle with Fak and my god I cannot get over the idea of it. Like maybe this girl he's known forever is giving him shit about it and that being tall doesn't give him an advantage or that he's getting old and she can for sure beat him.

And he doesn't not want to prove her wrong but it would have to be the right circumstances because like that man is not getting caught throwing her around and only having the excuse that she started it so he's brushing her off.

He eventually caves when she's goading him about it again one afternoon and he just picks her up. Has the fuck this moment. He gets his arms around her waist and hauls her feet off the floor but she is fighting him on it and she manages to knock him off balance by kicking off a wall and now they're on the ground. Richie has the fucking wind knocked out of him and she's pretty much fine since she's the one who knocked the wind out of him, the bulk of her landing on him.

But she did start it and now he's scrambling to get her off him and under him instead. She is still not making it easy and that's how they get caught, wrestling in dust and dirt, bruised, swearing and laughing while they struggled.
