it’s so funny when people online act like women reading trashy romance novels is like. a new phenomenon and a sign of the downfall of society bc this has never been a thing before. this has been an extremely popular genre of book for ages. the only difference now is that they’re written by women who wanted to fuck kylo ren. which i guess is annoying. out of every man in star wars like be so serious. they had harrison ford in those movies

ok so my tiktok fyp is absolutely inundated with that mom who has full conversations with her infant, and idk something about that just screams eddie to me – like he’s constantly running his mouth no matter who he’s with, so of course he’s having unfiltered conversations with his and Steve’s babies.

Like, Hazel will be sitting in her high chair going to town on a bowl of pureed pears while Eddie cleans up the kitchen and talks endlessly about their plans for the day.

“So it’s just you and me until noon," he says, "And then at noon we’re gonna go pick up your sisters. Usually we pick up Moe first and then Robbie, but it’s a Thursday and preschool ends early on Thursdays – you'll learn that for yourself in a few years – so we’ll pick her up first and then we’ll go pick Moe up from kindergarten, which you love because the assistant principal runs the car line and you're obsessed with her for some reason – I don't get it. She's actually kind of a pain in the ass, honestly, but whatever floats your boat, sweet girl."

Hazel doesn’t comment, obviously, as she is five months old, but she does blink her big blue eyes at him.

“We'll head home after that, and you’re gonna take a nap while Moe and Robbie have lunch, and then Robbie’s gonna pretend to nap, and I’m gonna pretend she’s not just pretending to nap – that’s been a nice arrangement for us, honestly – and I’m gonna try to trick Moe into taking a nap too, but it probably won’t work because she’s getting a little too smart for me, Hazel, I dunno what I’m gonna do with the three of you.”

Eddie pauses long enough to hose down the sink and run the garbage disposal, and then he continues.

“And then when all the naps and fake-naps are done, I'm sure it'll be chaos incarnate until Papa comes back. Papa's actually gonna be home a little early today, I think around four, which is exciting for us all, and I think the weather might be nice enough for us all to go on a walk, which, let me tell you, your sisters need. Holy smokes, Hazy-Jay, this winter was long. We should not be cooping children up for months on end, but alas, there are pros and cons to living in New England, my girl, don't you think?”

Again, Hazel doesn’t respond, but this time she hits him with a big, messy, pear-faced smile, kicking her little legs beneath the tray of her high chair.

“Anyways, if we go on a walk, your sisters will probably want to take their scooters, which really means they’ll use their scooters for approximately eight minutes and then get bored of them, which means I’ll get stuck carrying those stupid things, because your Papa will have already called dibs on pushing you in your stroller, citing missing you all day, and that’s fair enough, honestly.”

Eddie pauses again to clean all the stray pear off of Hazel's face and hands (ignoring her whining protests all the while because, sure, he's the bad guy here for not letting her wear her uneaten breakfast as an accessory the rest of the day).

“What matters here," he continues, "is that while we’re all on a walk, we’re gonna try to convince Papa that he should make mac-and-cheese for dinner tonight. Papa’s kind of an enigma, Hazel, because he’s wound a little tight, but he can also roll with the punches like a champ, so I can’t suggest this kind of stuff to him in the morning, because he’ll spend the day talking himself out of it, but if I hit him with it just an hour or two before dinner, he’ll be all excited to be home with us and your sisters, and then your sisters will get all excited about mac-and-cheese, so I think we've got a pretty good shot."

Eddie's rambling doesn't stop as he brings Hazel back upstairs to get her dressed for the day (yesterday he matched her onesie to the red polo Steve had left the house in, and then Steve had acted like he'd won the lottery when he got home and saw, so obviously Eddie will be continuing that for the foreseeable future).

"You girlies all lucked out with a dad like Papa," he tells her, "I know it, but I've lived a lo-ot of life by now, Hazy-Jay, and don't get me wrong – I think I'm a pretty kick-ass dad too, but Papa...Papa's somethin' special."

As I was putting her to bed, my child just looked me dead in the eye and said there was a ghost behind me. I'm home alone. How freaked out should I be?

I wore an outfit out of my comfort zone today and got so many compliments. I was even stopped on the street by an old lady telling me I looked beautiful. I'll take ruse vibes for my bad body image days.

So I've been pulling long hours at work. (I love my job, it's a calling. It's not toxic, I'm just underpaid and overworked.)

Last night I worked, did the evening with the kid and worked until 11. Tonight I'm doing the same thing.(If I didn't have a kid, I'd just work until 6 or 7 but I need to be home with her at night and she doesn't go to sleep until 9.)

And tonight my kiddo decided to throw such a tantrum, she Linda Blaire'd all over my carpet. I'd like some sleep, to be able to have hobbies and to not feel burnout.

Another shirt I own that makes my stance clear (and for the record, not that I should have to say it....trans women are women).

Look. I understand the appeal of platonic madwheeler, truly. BUT

Max was so peeved the entirety of S2. 2 guys liked her, but this one lil bitch didn't and she couldn't take it. She confronted him about it, even. Just annoyed the shit out of him so he would admit WHY he didn't like her. Girl, you have 2 other boys that care about you, why do you care about THIS twerp?

Then S3 comes, and she's the only one defending Mike's makeout seshs with El. Lucas is fumbling the bag at being a good boyfriend, and Max has punished him several times, they have even broken up like 5 times, and he didn't really learn shit. Then El dumps Mike, and Max asks her if Mike is a good kisser???? Girl why do you wanna know?

And then S4 comes around, she has broken up with Lucas for real, but she still gravitated towards Mike at that pep rally. Probably because he was as depressed as she was, and they even have at least one class together. Mike even noticed her bleeding nose during class. Like????

No one can convince me that this girl didn’t have a crush on Mike since S2. No one. I'm not even sorry

I cannot make politics any clearer. Also, I feel like @transit-fag needs this shirt too

my local 5 below had these and I couldn't resist

You know, I hate telling people I read. Like, yes I read, but I will lie about what I’m reading. I’m not going to say “oh yes, Carol, I’m reading filthy smut about Steve Harrington from hit tv series Stranger Things. Want the link?”

My husband is out tonight and that means I have the time and space to write. But, I've been working so much and burning so much at all ends that I either work at night or crash completely. Tonight already feels like a night where I'm going to crash hard.
