i’m really trying random shit at this point to stop my erratic sleeping at both ends. tonight im trying stronger melatonin (i don’t use it regularly, just emergencies like this hshshsjs. since it fucks up my sleep cycle when i use it too often) plus a nose strip to hopefully make waking up easier. ian told me i snore so im thinking possibly chronic snoring might be making my sleep quality absolute ass. we’ll see. i hope i wake up on time for work 🥴

also this is the first time i am using a nasal strip and i feel like ive never breathed out of my nose before in my life

I've translated my ukrainian fic!!!

Summary:

He had returned to Mondstadt 4 years ago. And he has seen a lot since then: Snezhnayan diplomats being murdered right at the gates of the city; Dvalin, one of their Four Winds, poisoned by Abyss; short blonde girl with heavenly powers, in the most literal sense of the word; islands, that are supposed to be near Mondstadt, but nobody actually knows their location; drunk Barbatos (oh god…); and the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius herself at a party. The last one might be the most bizarre one. And if he had to learn at least one lesson from that all, it should be to never work with Kaeya Alberich ever again. Because every time, without fail, it ends one of two ways: it’s either Diluc sits in front of the fireplace for a long time, eyes wondering from the fire to the letters in beautiful cursive, or the number of fatui camps suddenly reduces to zero overnight.

Or

Diluc has a hard time figuring some things out. Luckily, there are people in his life that see things as they are.

The Big Three

Also also- since magic isn't affiliated with my sitcom au, no one is a reincarnation. I mentioned it briefly in a previous post but it was in reference to Sandy, Pigsy and Tang

I bring it up now because, since there's no reincarnation, Mei is also not a reincarnation. So Ba Long Ma, the dragon from JTTW, is separate from Mei. I kinda forgot about him before last night but I didn't wanna write him out completely, so he and Mei are separate beings.

He's was Mei's uncle and was also friends with the others in highschool. He died before Mei was born those and before SWK got MK. I'll thinking he may have died from a car crash or something. I mean in the original legend, Ba Long Ma is Tripitaka's second horse since the other got eaten.

Anyway- stuff about the three

Pigsy

Took a business major in college

His parents owned a tools and gardening equipment store and he used to work there after school and weekends.

But when got older, around highschool, he realized he didn't want to take over his parents shop and wanted to spend his life cooking

Pigsy had bought a fixer-upper shop to turn into his noodle shop in his last year of college, he wanted to insure he would have the place hopefully mostly done by the time he graduates

He couldn't afford to hire people so he did most of the work himself

The project ended up taking a little longer but Sandy, SWK and (technically) Tang helped him finish up near the end to speed it up

SWK had broken an arm while helping-

Has an apron sewn by little Mk, he doesn't wear it at work anymore because he doesn't want to get it ruined since it's so old but he refuses to let anyone trying to fix it

Catered both Mei's and MK's birthday parties as well as their "important business meetings" aka tea parties

The three would take turns each week babysitting Mk, once the kid woke Pigsy up with a tray of questionable food he "made"

It was frozen eggo waffles with whip cream and raspberries, the kid tried

After Pigsy showed him how to safely take them out of the toaster so he can show SWK later

Is a big marvel fan but hates most of the movies, still goes to watch them in theaters though

Put shaving cream on baby Mk face because the kid wanted to be like Pigsy

Can't take photos to save his life

No one but Mac, Mei, Sandy and MK can take good photos

Plans the vacation

Books the hotel, flights all the technical stuff

Sandy

Worked for a while in both an aquarium and as a life guard

Currently works as a veterinarian, but technically also took a psychology course in university and has all the requirements to be a psychiatrist

I just like the thought of Sandy being the only one really interested in the scientific end of things

He would garden with baby Mk

Got really into deadlifts and weightlifting in college

Was indeed skinny lad in highschool

Family has a house near the beach and grew up surfing a lot

Is the one the one to hold the photo out for group photos since he has the longest arms, someone else has to press the button

Is the tallest so has to crouch or sit in photos

The one that's most prepared on trips, has everything anyone could possibly need

Also carries everyone's bag if they get too tired

Scrapbooks, lots of scrapbooks

He began making them in middle school and creates one every year

SWK is especially grateful for this, since he's so bad at taking photos he wouldn't have been able to document mks childhood if it weren't for Sandy

Has scrapbooks for every year of highschool and college

The amount of blackmail this man holds for SWK, Tang and Pigsy is powerful

They are all scared for the day Sandy shows the kids and Mac these scrapbooks

Gives free hair cuts

It was mainly meant for the kids since I feel mk was afraid of the barber for a long time

And Sandy would cut his hair instead because he was a familiar face

Though after a while he has a whole lot of people coming to have him cut their hair, including Pigsy and Tang

But also SWK gets his hair cut by him too because he forgets to book himself a hair appointment

Was the first one to grow a beard in the group

In highschool the guys had a contest to see who could grow more of a beard

From most beard to least beard it went: Sandy, SWK, Tang then Pigsy

Sandy didn't even really have to try, SWK barely beat Tang and Pigsy was automatically picked to be last

Sandy will talk to Red about science since their the only ones that like it

Collects a lot of reusable material and scrap metal

Let's the kids use it for school projects or just their own personal work

Owns a lot of cats but has a few animals as well

All of his animals have movie themed cat puns for names

A few of the cats were named by a people in the group

And each person has an animal that claimed them as their favourite

And as soon as that favorite person walks in, they will not live that person's side until they have to leave

They all love Sandy obviously, most hate SWK except for like two or three

Tang

Took Greek mythology and a lot of odd sounding classes in highschool

He has a major in literature and minor in architecture

Literally can't swim

The gang learned this when Sandy invited them over and he almost drowned

Was the kid of student to tell the teacher when they forgot about the homework

SWK nearly broke his glasses trying to stop him one time because of it

Went through an punk phase in sophomore year of high-school

Introduced Mk to a lot of books, some that might've not been the best choice for his age

Taught him how to do puppy eyes to get free noodles

He had to move out of his apartment and moved in with Pigsy for what was meant to be a temporary thing but became a permanent thing

Definitely had a big atla phase in highschool and had the group dress up as them for Halloween

SWK would be sokka, Tang would be Katara, Sandy would be Aang and Pigsy would be toph

Later on Mei would be Appa, and MK would be Momo

Helps the teens with their English homework

Will stare at all the cool architecture and tell everyone about it while sprouting out historical facts

Is the one planning all the sightseeing part of the vacation

Once the location is picked, he makes sure there's at least something for everyone to enjoy

When Mac joins the group he makes sure if there's concerts or musicians he likes playing in the place they're going

Once SWK was really getting on his nerves so he took MK to get SWK favourite food, then they both took a picture of it and sent it to Wukong

When he brought mk home he instructed the kid to eat the entire thing infront of SWK without breaking eye contact

The kid did and SWK apologized to Tang right after, mumbling about how he turned his son to the dark side

Tang is petty, almost as petty as Mac

Did have lightsaber battles with Mei and MK

Mk once bonked Tang on the head really hard with his lightsaber really hard that Tang fell down

Mk started crying because he was worried he had to be sith member instead

Definitely was the most chaotic of all the babysitters

Would you miss my presence?

I wish to leave…

I wish to leave these walls we call home.

It doesn’t feel like home.

It hurts me; being judged, then being pampered and the being judged for wanting to be loved truly

I’m just a kid. What do you expect me to do?

I tried working at bettering my academics, it only got worse. It only gets worse.

I tried a sport, but you stopped me. My academics matter more you said.

I tried,and I tried, and I tried… and I did good sometimes. I was the best sometimes- but you only found faults. You questioned my ability. You said “oh the play must be easy”, the shock where you went “really? You did good?”

You tried being a nice parent, you tried following what the books told you- how to parent, what teens want. You read them all. But you forgot to read me.

You occasionally bust out claiming you’re proud of me, of who I am, of what I do or what I did. And those instances are where I’ve either put the dishes inside or organised the house. I don’t understand if that’s sarcasm you use or the lines from books you randomly remember to use.

And that hurts me more, because you never have appreciated something I truly loved doing. You tried supporting me, you tried, but you failed. You blamed me again. I’m the root of all cause, you said.

“Not everything’s meant to revolve around you”, you yelled. I could see the disappointment in you.

I tried explaining, but tears ran down my face. Caging my mouth, stopping me from expressing myself. Communication has always been an issue among us. Why? I didn’t know. But I need you to understand, I require things to revolve around me, i need you mum and dad.

I miss how things were before. When all our schedules matched, when our time together was more important than grades; when we understood each other.

We live under the same roof, and yet you know nothing about me. You still think I like art. You still get me the Vada form that one shop. You still think I’m popular in school.Ma, papa, that’s not me anymore.

I’ve grown. Time flew and you missed seeing me rise. The office work seemed more important and now you’re imposing it on me. But I don’t want school to be most important for me. It’s you. You’re my most important. Please don’t take you away from me.

I love you guys, little brother you too.

But I keep thinking…

Ways to end this pain, this change, this life.

I don’t want it. And even if I try I can’t keep it.

I’m sorry I didn’t reach your expectations. I’ll do better.

Don’t you wish little brother was your only child?

I ponder on that a lot… I see you guys happy, way happier than you are now.

This would have been my final goodbye, on an app none of you know of. It would have been lost in the archives… but I’ve decided to live.

I did survive the last six years, two more won’t hurt.

In those two years I’ll take you guys to travel all across the world. We’ll visit every place we can possibly think of.

And back to India would be our last adventure together. That’s when I bid goodbye.. somewhere cold, unaware of my environment, I’ll be washed away in the waters and be one with the sea.

You taught me swimming, but this time around I would choose to not do what I was taught and do what I’ve wanted to do for the past eight years.

I’ll drown, thinking about every moment in my life that has bought me joy. And I know that those moments would be you guys…

I love you all, truly

You’re my favourite humans and I didn’t do what I did (tried to end my existence)because of you. I just had to.

———————————————————

I got yelled at, and this went on in my mind. I need help. My suicidal episodes keep flashing before my eyes.

[bylertruther]

it's so fun when you talk about stranger things to someone that's normal and not homophobic because as soon as you start pointing out byler details they may have missed it's like the puzzle pieces start fitting together in their head and the little light bulb goes off and they're like waaaait... for real? 😦 and then boom. we've got another one joining the ranks, bylers 💪😌

this is. exhausting

[kqluckity]

i love when people draw dirk all point-y and shit because his whole thing is how he's unknowable and unlovable and thinks he's the worst and should be alone all his life forever but actually every time one of his friends says anything to him he just. he just folds like a chair. idk if it makes sense to anyone else

This is not a gifset à proprement parler but I just felt the need to share it, since I couldn’t find it anywhere
