Not making too much HOW art but I’m gonna try to be more active on my art insta it’s @/4dult5wim8umps, i might post some stuff I’ve made, I’m so bad at posting there but I’m gonna try to be more active there, I’ve just been too drained to do anything fandomwise really so I’m just dipping my toes in, juuuust a leetle 🦤

Another vent post sorry guys I’m not posting HOW lately and have just been complaining

/ racism, misogyny

Today one of the regulars that comes in was talking about mexicans a lot, he’s done this a few times, this man can’t breathe without bringing up politics and theories. Anyways he was talking about how he served in Vietnam (dude ALWAYS wears his veterans hat) to a couple or other guys, and he goes “we should use the border as target practice, get some napalm out there, that’ll solve your border problem” and I kinda stopped what I was doing bc,, wtf ?? No one batted and eye but when I looked up everyone was looking at me. Not the first time I’ve heard some crazy shit, one of our regulars told me to work with my shirt off if I wanted more tips, men stare at my chest constantly, they think they’re slick reading what’s on my shirt back to me and acting interested, y’all would be amazed how many grown men looove the Big Red soda, they’d have you thinking they were it’s #1 fan. Like buddy you’re not fooling me. Also if I had a nickel for how many times I’ve gotten a comment that was something along the lines of “you got her training to be a good housewife” what if I put you in the deep fryer. anyways I hate it here, also my boss makes me do everything and it’s mostly me and her there, on my feet for 7-8 hours just to get bitched at her for literally nothing, girl why are you huffing and puffing cause I asked you what the order was ?? Also won’t let me do things and then complains to customers that she “can’t depend on any help” and that “no one wants to work” but like.. girl please don’t lie. Also like not even 4 weeks in and I’ve already heard soemone say the fucking hard r ?? And that they didn’t like the last waitress (one of my family friends) bc she talked about her interracial relationship and that people that come in don’t like that kind of stuff or support it. I’m done, I’m gonna dip and go to a Mexican restaurant fuck this.

// death, storm talk

Death toll has gone up, these last few days the people who died have been identified, most were old couples who weren’t able to escape, I’m thankful that my loved ones were able to leave their houses before they were destroyed and were somewhat unharmed. We haven’t had such a big storm in a while and it’s bittersweet to see how fast the communities come together to support each other. A few people who have lost their homes have came in at the diner I work at, at least everyone knows someone who lost *SOMETHING*, we’re still reeling from it and tonight is storming again and they’re saying there’s a chance that there’s going to be another one tonight, I’m so scared I’m not gonna lie, the storms already taken lives elsewhere and is on course here. I can only hope that it dies down or doesn’t hit us.

My county was torn apart by the tornadoes Friday and were expecting more storms this week, it’s times like these were I wish I lived in something more secure than a run down trailer falling apart at the seams

the storms in january took out our hot water heater and power in half the house, my room and the bathroom, so it’s been rough not having power and hot water for months where the temps were in the negatives, I’m just so thankful for what I have rn bc lord knows there were so many times in my life where I didn’t have running water or electricity in my house, and I still have a roof over my head, so I can’t complain. It’s gut wrenching to see neighborhoods reduced to just rubble, family and friends houses just destroyed. We haven’t had a storm this bad since I was a kid, never with such a high death toll, people are still missing. I’m so fucking scared for the rest of tornado season, every storm this house deteriorates more and I don’t have anywhere else to go

got a whole bunch of notifs for this piece, ouuugh I’ve had such baby fever lately I need to write more papa bo

UGH cant just picture Bo standing over the crib for a week after babys born, just watching them sleep and his arms are crossed and hes consentrating and as soon as that baby wriggles hes picking them up and fussing over them

ive been so sad lately and the only things that have kept me going is bo and babies and this has been sitting in my inbox for soo long and i just came across it, this is me putting out content that id like to see more of out there

also i love the shtick of rough men softening up once they become dads its the best

so here is some very self indulgent papa bo fluff

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

He had been at this all day, only stopping when the baby needed to be fed or you needed to be tended to, he'd been helicopter parenting the both of you for a whole week. He had been somewhat overbearing during your pregnancy and if you thought he would let up afterwards, you were dead wrong. It was sweet though, it felt nice to be doted on and to know that Bo would step up and do his job as a father and a partner, even if at times he might unintentionally overdramatize things.

Right now Bo was off to the side of the bed where the baby's bassinet was, peering over the edge down at them. He had made such a fuss over getting the baby's room together only for him to pull the bassinet in your room the first night they cried. You had just fed and burped the baby before putting them down to sleep, Bo insisting on watching them for a little 'just to make sure'. You watched his back, the way his head ducked every so often to watch them like an hawk, you squinted-- he had better not. The baby made a noise and you heard the covers shift and, before you could say anything, Bo was diving in to pick up the baby.

"Bo, you put that baby down and let them sleep."

"They woke up, Mama." He held the baby to his chest, he made them look so tiny. It made your heart swell the way Bo had been so careful with them, as if he was afraid he'd break the baby, restlessly watching over everything they did. It reminded you of how Jonesy had reacted to a kitten Lester brought home; she tended to it constantly, couldn't leave it alone for the life of her. Though, you hold from telling that to Bo, Lester would get a kick from it, however.

"Only cause you woke them up, they'll go back to sleep if you just lay them down."

"Naw, they can sleep just fine right here." A big closed lip smile from Bo that screamed triumphant. You couldn't argue with that, so you don't. Instead you recline back on the pile of pillows Bo had gathered for you, patting your chest before opening your arms. It didn't take long for Bo to make his way back to your side, settling beside you and laying his head on your shoulder, careful not to put too much pressure on you. After some readjusting from the three of you, you finally settle with your legs tangled and Bo and the baby cradled to your chest. You placed soft kisses to any part of his face you could find, cherishing the way he smiled against your neck. Slithering a hand from his back to his neck, you carefully ran it up through his curls, just to stop and softly scratch his scalp. Bo melted into you, a noise of thanks humming in the back of his throat. It didn't take long before he was yawning, no matter how much he tried to hide, but there was no hiding from you.

You pull his head back a little so you can place a few more kisses to his face, "Get some rest, Papa." A few more kisses to his lips, nose, and chin scar. His eyes drooped but his lips curled into the most vibrant of his shit eating grins at the title.

"M'Papa."

I love writing, and I predominately write for myself, but it sucks that everything I put out is often met with a wall of bricks. As much as I don't want to admit it, I do thrive on the positive reception of my writing and seeing that inspires and encourages me to continue to create, and I'm sure that many other content creators share comparable sentiments.

Non-content creators seem not to understand the sheer importance of interacting with media made by content creators in a way that drives them to continue to create. Like tumblrs culture around only liking content instead of reblogging to increase reach and add their ramblings. Like sometimes, I wonder what even is the point in putting my work online if I get nothing out of it? It's part of why I almost prefer to do commissions vs. just posting my work because at least then I know it's directly creating something impactful for someone else and not just there to exist in this void where people look but not touch.

I’ve been getting into Paleo stuff a lot lately and I started watching Primal on HBO and I’m not exaggerating when I say it is actually the best show ever dont try me

[houseofdabs]

I think meatwad and Lester would be best friends

[houseofdabs]

Now why did I get more interactions when I was on hiatus 🤨

[houseofdabs]

I’m leaving

I feel like we all knew this was coming. I haven’t been active in forever and everytime I try to come back I feel such an overwhelming feeling that I’ve missed out of so much happening in the fandom and that I’ve been gone so long that the page has turned on me and my time here is up. I might come back in the future where interest arises, who knows. This doesn’t mean I’m not a slasher fan anymore, I’ve been one since birth. I’m not deactivating any of my accounts bc I do plan on coming back, or at least I HOPE that I have interest in the future to come back. I’ve felt myself drifting off from the fandom for a while and I’ve finally accepted that I’m not apart of it anymore, and that’s okay. I will still be making slasher art, I will still be using my selfship blog, I’m just not making content for people who do not give me the time of day to support what I do and give the appreciation my stuff deserves, and frankly I’m tired of losing sleep over it so I’m nipping it in the bud before it can ruin everything I like more than it already has. I might finish old WIPs I’ve had and post them, I may never write again. Who knows. But thank you to the few who was there to support me and my arts along the way, I hope one day I can come back here, maybe you reading this will be gone if I ever come back. Thank you guys for being cool, peace out.

It’s my birthday:)
