Cal thinks he's Xavier's best friend when he definitely isn't. Then Billy comes along and actually becomes Xavier's best friend and Cal seethes but there's nothing he can do. What do you do when your pussy footing lost that guy his wife and doomed everyone else who wasn't handpicked for Paradise?

It be so funny if they took Joan to soccer game and put her either in the team colour or a cheerleading outfit.

Great minds think alike because I was just thinking that we having checked in with Joan in a while so this problem is perfect.

Every Saturday for over a month now, Joan has watched the humans and Ozzy leave the house in the morning and come back hours later loud, smelly, and energized. She does not have a problem with this per se but if she had eyebrows, she’d raise one of them. She would raise the other when they’re all too tired to play with her for too long after they come back.

So, Joan makes a decision.

When the next Saturday rolls around and Steve is digging around in the drier for his jersey, she makes her case known. She whines. She meows. She gets in the way of every step. She commits a drive-by biting. She even gets in the storage closet in the hallway and knocks over the dreaded cat stroller so it falls into the hallway.

She makes it very clear. She wants to go.

Eddie coos at her, “Awe, baby, she feels left out. Let’s take her.”

“Ed, it’s hot outside,” Steve replies, gesturing to Joan. She rubs her head against his leg. “She’s gray.”

“Steve, don’t be racist.”

“I’m not being – how is that –“ Steve sputters and then rambles on about tiny bodies, and fur, and overheating in the sun, but Joan already knows she got her way. Steve can’t say no to Eddie and he can’t say no to her either. Plus, she always gets her way.

Her way is the right way.

Steve sighs and gives in, “But if she gets too hot, you have to take her home.”

As a reward for Steve and Eddie’s good decision-making, Joan helps them get ready to leave. She wiggles her way into the cabinet with the first-aid kit and pulls out bandaids. She leaves them inside Steve’s cleats. He says thank you when he finds them.

Ozzy huffs from where he’s laying in his dog bed.

Joan purrs when Steve pets her head.

Since Eddie disappeared down into his studio the moment Steve agreed to let her come, Joan continues ‘helping Steve.’ Mainly, she cleans up (eats) all the scraps of lunchmeat he drops when making sandwiches for him, Eddie, Robin, and Nancy.

Eddie immerges from the studio ten minutes before they’re supposed to leave with a hastily sewed shirt made for a cat. It’s made out of the soft material of the cheer squad t-shirts he made for the other team members’ partners. He presents it first to Steve and then holds it out to Joan like, “Ta-dah.”

Joan sniffs the fabric – it smells like Eddie – and Steve is just like, “Why did you make that?”

“Because Joan’s got to represent, Stevie. We’re a jock family now and jocks wear their team colors,” Eddie insists, grin getting bigger when Steve rolls his eyes at him. “Everybody else is wearing team colors. Even Ozzy. See.”

He gestures to the pin attached to his yellow service dog vest that says ‘#1 Steve Harrington Defender.’ It’s right next to a patch that says ‘If You Pet Me, You Are A Part Of The Problem’ which is… “That’s new.”

“Yeah, I’m solving all the world’s problems today, baby,” He grins. “Isn’t that right, Joan?”

She hisses at the shirt.

i've been having. mithrun thoughts lately. can you imagine getting a dog with him? going on walks and making him food? taking care of him and slowly watching him get better? even if it's so so so so small. im dying.

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ OUGHGHGH SOCK……. being there for him through it all….. staying by his side every step of the way…. makes me think so hard….

— MITHRUN: caring for him.

꒰ warnings: ꒱ none, sfw + gn!reader. <3

꒰ wc: ꒱ 396

✦ short and sweet, but i wanted to give you some mithrun hcs!!! this is the first time i’ve written for him, so it may be a little rough, haha! these ideas are SO precious…. it’s from your pov and all the lil things you do for him. <3

✦ Since he spends most of his day laying down or sleeping, you try to do your best to make sure he doesn’t feel completely alone. Whether that be by sitting beside him reading, or resting your head at the foot of the bed and napping yourself. You feel as if it’s the least you could do.

✦ You enjoy cutting his hair for him. Since he can’t do so himself during this point in his rehabilitation, you decide to take it upon yourself to do so. Even brushing it and making sure it doesn’t have any tangles, your ministrations are so tender and caring that he doesn’t feel any discomfort. It’s another thing you always offer to do for him when you spend time together.

✦ You’re successful in convincing him to get a service dog, and the two of you care for it together. You made the suggestion to him one day, and after letting him contemplate, you both decide it’d be a great decision for him. (Thinking about the fan comic of him with a service dog after Laios suggested it. You’d definitely have to help him come up with the name.)

✦ Cooking for him was something you did often. You were sure to make his favorites, always feeding it to him after. Even as he begins to heal, you can’t help but still insist on helping him eat. There was something about it that felt domestic, especially now that you feel as if you have a little family with your dog now.

✦ Imagine walking with him, enjoying the sunshine on your skin and the cool breeze in the air. Times like those were when you felt especially thankful he was still by your side. You’d even take your dog with you, the outings something that were really beneficial for him.

✦ Taking care of him was second nature for you. Helping him get clean, making sure he was comfortable, keeping track of how he was feeling. Like stated before, you even made sure he ate and did in fact sleep, as we know how he is with making sure his own needs were met.

✦ Little changes in his rehabilitation were always celebrated. He would slowly get better over time, but big changes or accomplishments that occasionally happened never got past you. You’ll take the win no matter how small, as long as you’re there by his side. <3

Update: (it's been a while)

All this time picked up some debt so we're still on it but good part is we started working so we might be out of it soon.

Bad part of it we probably still need both incomes.

You know what I do, the message button if how to get me: if you want me to make something for you do dm me, if you just wanna help you can also do that.

We'll have to move to a new place soon so that contract expense is on the list too.

I'm always happy to work.

Ko fi.

Thank you. Love you. Take care.

for any of the writers here, there’s a new site that i use for my writing. they have pretty strong stances on ai and say they’ll never weave generative ai into their site and they believe that ai generated content should not overtake human voices

you can connect your ao3 to it and it’ll have a drop down menu with all your existing works, so you can directly add a chapter or make a new work. it copies the html and takes you straight to ao3. it has many other handy features regarding the actual writing portion, formatting, spell check, find and replace, etc

i’ve been using it for a little while and love it but i haven’t seen many people chatting about it so, :)) it’s called ellipsus <3

Time period post: Cops and postal services

Had this mentioned to me a little while back on police and ambulance services a little while back and it blew my mind. I think it’s pretty important and cool to know and would really help in fic writing or at least knowing the world more. Including some stuff about the mail too as I think it’d be helpful.

I know I make all these posts but there’s stuff for me to learn too lol.

No national number, yet-

It wasn’t until 1968 that 911 was established and it took a long time to be fully implimented across the country, some rural parts just getting the service in the late 1990s! What did people do before then?

You would call the local department, same goes for things like the fire department or an ambulance or other such services. Usually these numbers would be stuck on a fridge or in the phone book or widely known, it was just longer and more localized. Or you die ‘O’ for operator and ask for the local police station/hospital etc you’re trying to reach like you would a number— similarly calling the operator you could give a name and address and they’d patch you through. However, by this time memorizing numbers was more of a thing- Operators existed still but they feel so 20s-40s to me.

The idea of 911 is it’s a quick number to memorize and put into the phone, especially in an emergency or incapacitated/worked up so you can’t request the station or explain too much. It is sort of a national thing but it is also state and local as you don’t have “US police” answering a call in the middle of nowhere you have the local department.

according to research 911 service did not come to central Oklahoma until a vote in 1987 and then several more up until 2009! This is Oklahoma City and its metro areas. Idk if Tulsa applies here as it’s up and over but needless… wouldn’t have it for a long time. (It is now officially managed as of 2016 Jesus Christ Oklahoma.)

Another note is that it would be incredibly rare for those on the East/North side of town to call the cops, it’s mentioned in the book/movie but communities like this tend to solve their own problems. Either working it out on own, own sense of justice or just to keep the greater trouble cops would bring out. I have a meta on this.

Highway patrol-

Bringing them up as it seems fitting lol, considering the speeding charges, the racing charges, the car modification changes etc the gang would be getting. Also because personally I’m curious on the distinction besides being a pain to drivers.

Traffic laws, speed traps and hiding in the bushes basically. Their jurisdiction is the highways instead of a typical beat.

US postal service-

Mail is on the rise, not only is there more people but it’s also when things really get centralized so there’s more to send and easier. Stuff like bills and receipts and catalogs were the real bulk of mail, alongside personal messages. There was a real effort to make things national and easier. As here’s a diagram from 1968 showing how complicated it is;

Delivery zones-

When mail was simplified during WW2 when regular folks stepped in, easier to remember for major cities and areas. It’s a precursor to more exact area and zip codes. Made mail come far quicker as it was easier to sort!

Zip codes-

More recent than you think, just like 911 you never really think any differently when you’re born with them available but they’re pretty new! And there was a bunch of adds in the paper to encourage public use typically featuring a cute little character.

Some adds like this one would even inform you what your zip code would be and what the purpose is!

Mailing-

Twice a day service, depending on area and time. The sheer volume of it! By the 60s twice a day delivery began to wind down but you could still send perishables and other goods with a high expectation of arriving alright. Since long distance calls were expensive for most of their existence, especially back then letters and post cards etc were preferred.

In fact people sent so many letters there was ‘Pen-pals’ , to those unfamiliar it’s when you send letters back and forth between someone met through a personal add, a club or service etc — it’s sort of like the analog version of a online friend in a way?

Talked about it in my magazine post but “mail in” was a popular way to get free or special offered items in magazines. Usually it was an add offer, something branded you could request like a Orange juice brand beach towel or something like that (ran well into at least the 80s) — you could also do this with some cigarette or other companies with points programs (like green stamps but for merch)

Contests, you enter through the mail, sign up/renew through the mail (slips are still in magazines today), submitting answers or stories etc — all mail or sometimes over the phone!

There was also catalogues, you either wrote them or arranged what you were purchasing over the phone.

What a great time to be a mailbox…

hello! as some of you may know, i've been dealing with a lot of pain due to my wisdom tooth. i need to have it removed and of course, that involves quite a bit (both financially and technically). my parents will be able of helping me out a bit next month, but it's too expensive for us.

if you are able to help in any way, below there's the medical report (except for the highlighted item, which refers to an occlusal splint to manage nocturnal bruxism. it's too expensive, so i can't afford it)

my p*aypal: ianalsvn@gmail.com

R$464,23 / R$1.870

periodontal treatment

second periodontal treatment (40 days later)

third and last periodontal treatment (maintenance - 3 months later)

wisdom tooth removal (superior; left)

wisdom tooth removal (superior; right)

this amounts to R$1.870 or $336,33

one day i'll post my fic and you can finally witness this monster of a playlist that fuels my insanity

i know i said i was happy about how mel's story went, but the more i think about it the less i'm sure about that. this is very much connected to how the themes of classism and wealth disappeared in s2, but mel in the beginning was the epitome of piltover. she wanted to advance piltover to prove herself to her mother. to "put piltover—" and by extension herself, "—on the map."

she wanted wealth just to have it. and i'm not blaming her for anything that happened, especially with hextech! she, just like jayce and viktor, could not have known what it would lead to. i mean yeah heimerdinger said so but who the hell listens to heimerdinger? but anyway i think mel changed throughout s1, much in thanks to jayce. by the end she's become more cognisant of the mistreatment of zaunites. she's the first to vote for their peace. she was a good person all along but now she knows how to act on it. it's also seen more in s2 act 1. when she covers her painting with gold, it's symbolic—she won't act according to what her mother might think. she won't let her desire for approval dictate her anymore.

so somehow i wish those themes were. continued, somehow? like again they were dropped not just with mel but the whole show and it makes her story a off to me. there's no meaningful commentary on war or classism or how her ideology stands opposite to her mother's. like some people have said, it feels like she doesn't have much agency, even if she is really cool. and that to me is a shame because agency felt like her thing. "to shape your own destiny" as she says to jayce in s1. i know her collaborating with the black rose (but not fully joining them) and learning magic is supposed to represent becoming independent from her mother, taking her own path, but some other aspects of her character were thrown away... the more i think about it the more i'm thinking they kind of #girlboss-ed her a little bit. maybe to sell another champion. i can't help but feel like even though i enjoyed seeing her on screen, the payoff didn't feel proportionally satisfying compared to her setup in s1.

I know and understand where the whole "customer is always wrong" and Karen mentality comes from, but I'm also convinced there's Customer Service Agents out there who believe their totally unjustified anger and bad attitude towards a totally passive customer who hasn't done anything wrong and is just trying to get some paperwork done or buy a thing are a Righteous Sword cleaving through social injustices towards poor little misunderstood workers.

Writing Mildew is both exhausting and surprisingly fun, because he’s such a hater. He’s stupid and ignores reason unless it benefits him, which means that I don’t have to think too hard about anything he says. He’s there to be annoying and it’s both great and, well, annoying
