#Poor baby boy.

•••••I just don’t know, hun•••••

Author’s note: This was inspired by Elvis’ beautiful and wholesome masterpiece, “Mama Liked The Roses.” I hope that this will not be the Christmas piece for me. It’s kinda depressing, not gonna lie.

Author won’t shut up: I feel that this is kinda went on during the first Christmas without Gladys, but just inserting reader.

warnings: grieving, crying, quietness, just sad

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Everything was so silent. An uncomfortable emptiness, in every aspect of the Graceland home. Vernon tucked up and away upstairs in his bedroom above where you seat. Where you and Elvis lay, on the big couches of the living, neither of you can help the memories that flood into your minds.

That warm smile that could fix no matter what type of bad day.

The aroma that filled the entire house, trailing into the kitchen where baked goods and foods were kept and made, that would make any man’s tummy rumble for more. Even after having a feast.

Your attention is back on Elvis, who seems so still and lifeless almost on your lap. His dark black curls that slick and lay against your skirt, as his cheek nuzzles against your thigh. The rest of his long body is limp on the couch, not knowing how to feel.

Neither anyone bothered to decorate. With the maids and housekeepers gone and up, it was empty and dark. Dust collecting on desks and furniture, the whole home that used to be warm and bright. Was now dark and gray.

“Are you hungry, hunny?” You spoke up in a soft whisper, gently petting his head of dark-raven hair. He can only hum out a sound, shrugging slightly against you.

“Mama liked the roses. She grew them in the yard. And winter always came around…and made the growing way too hard.” He then out of the blue, spoke nothing above a whisper. He wraps his arms around your thighs and you feel hot tears poor down his cheeks.

“It’s not Christmas without her. What are we gonna do without her? W-what am I gonna do, pillow?” He cried softly into your lap, dampening your skirt, and you frowned at the poor, tired soul before you. Your heart would’ve fluttered at the pet name he called you since highschool, but it just didn’t seem right to have flushed cheeks at this moment. Will it ever?

You gently cupped his cheeks and brought up his chin, you looked at the broken man that held onto you like you’d disappear if you didn’t. Those blue eyes were now cloudy and gray, filled with raw heartache and depression.

what are we going to do?

Your mind couldn’t help think, as your eyes continued to trail down his trembling features. His quivering lip couldn’t stop wobbling, even as you bent down to pepper comforting kisses against his face. He then hugged you so tightly to his chest, sniffling and burying his face into your neck. Burning tears ran down his chilled cheeks and onto your skin. You can only sigh, and pet the back of his head. Only able to support him on such a level, knowing only a dollar on how much his mama meant to his dear soul.

“I just don’t know, hun.” You say gently, and you hated to admit it. You honestly didn’t know what you’d do. Neither of you doubted things would get back to how they were before, you both doubted that you’d ever truly be happy or really get over her passing.

Would Elvis ever be the Elvis that you knew? Would Vernon continue to have this quiet, chill energy? Would Graceland always be cold and dark…

I just don’t know, hun…I just don’t know. You think you to yourself as your ears continue to hear the small sniffles and cries that Elvis owns.

You can only hope that things turn out better in the future. That maybe, just maybe, you’ll both find a way to be happy again. If the heavens above shine some ray of sunshine, some way, some how into this black, sorrowful cloud.

Just maybe.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Author’s note: I really don’t know what’s going on with me… I’ll try, but cannot promise, that I’ll make a happier snippet for the holidays. Mwah, love you all

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

I read somewhere that Luffy is so keen on being friends with Law because Law is the first person in his life to ever approach him first. In every other relationship, it was Luffy asking, or demanding, to be friends first.

And I haven't been the same ever since.

how is Ollie doing?

Ollie crawled into my lap and snuggled with me for a solid hour and a half the other day. I thought this was odd, because he's been really bitey lately and isn't much of a cuddler. But his stomach was kind of bloated so I thought he might be gassy and feeling bad. So I rubbed his belly and enjoyed the cuddles until he was feeling better.

AND THEN I FOUND THE HOLE HE CHEWED THROUGH THE CAT FOOD BAG

Well, I'm seeing a trend...

If you can, how about tv show Payneland but with the ages of the comic? So basically kids Paynland together.

Kids...

thinking about husband!dazai with his wife who struggles to get pregnant ☹️ poor boy feels so bad for you. don't get me wrong, he's excited to be able to fuck you raw and cum inside, but he also wishes you could just get pregnant because he hates seeing you so sad!! he'll kiss your pretty face and shush your tears and rub your pretty pussy while trying to convince you that it's okay and we'll get lucky soon.

(when you finally get pregnant, it's excited squeals and hugs and constant kisses to your tummy. he ain't gettin off you. you will have your stomach pressed to his every night, no exceptions.)

Percy (trying to make light of Jason’s horrible life): well…. At least all that suffering wasn’t for nothing. you have a killer college application story.

Jason: considering the fact I can’t actually leave Camp Jupiter without express permission, even getting kidnapped without my consent for me labelled a traitor within about an hour, the fact I have no skills of navigating the mortal world because I’ve been in the army since I was 3 so can’t really leave to go to uni and the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m blacklisted from the New Rome University since when I asked if I’d be eligible they laughed in my Face I don’t think I really need an application

Percy: GODS EVEN NAKING FUN OF YOUR LIFE LEADS TO MORE INSANITY WHAT IS THIS

Based on this meme:

Lois Lane is actually Ellie Phantom

Idea came from a comment @ourrechte-blog made on This post

So, back when Ellie was traveling the world, she saw quite a few things that she really didn't like. War Crimes, Humans Rights Violations, Poverty, etc.

And she really wanted to draw some attention to those problems, but she knew that as some random kid those stories would never receive the press they deserved. So she decided to Become the press instead.

She went back to Danny, who was also on the run, and they both got new Identities. Danny became Sam "Daniel" Lane, and Ellie became Lois "Ellie" Lane. (Also she reverted to her true age, so the ages matched up)

Ellie, now Lois, began to go to School so she could establish her new identity. Eventually, she managed to get to College, Graduated, and got a Job at the biggest newpaper she could, the Daily Planet.

She was now living her best life. She was a credited reporter, her dad was a Military General, and she was spreading the word about all the problems in the world that often got overlooked.

Then, one day, Lois met a really nice guy named Clark Kent. He was such a sweetheart, and had such a kind personality. She was immediately smitten.

Even Danny liked him, and Danny barely liked anyone for fear of them hurting his daughter.

And it got even better when she figured out that he was Superman, a Superhero just like her dad used to be. She proved it when she jumped off of the roof of the Daily Planet and he caught her. (She was never in danger, she can fly too. But she did decide that even if he wasn't superman, she trusted him enough to tell him that she had powers)

They got married, and one day Clark came home looking disturbed about something.

Apparently he just found out that a company called Cadmus had tried to Clone him.

She was not happy when he told her that he didn't want to accept the kid.

"Clark. So help me Ancients, if you left that poor boy alone and rejected him after he did nothing wrong I am going to string you up by your toenails and let my Uncle Fright go to town on you with his Magic Sword!"

"I-I know what I did was wrong honey, but why are you so angry about it?!"

"Clark, I'm also a Clone! You know I don't have a Mom, how did you never ask my dad or me about that!?"

"I thought he was dead or something! I'm sorry!"

"We'll talk about this later, let's go talk to that poor kid."

"Yes ma'am."

Y'ever think about how this was probably the first time any doctor was gentle with Bucky in decades?? Because I think about how this was probably the first time any doctor was gentle with Bucky in decades all the time.

I was reading a merthur fic (this one) today and..

In the fic Merlin tells Arthur that he has magic, and Arthur asks why has Merlin never told him and then.. this..

"Just because Arthur could trust Merlin with his life didn't mean Merlin could do the same."

"JUST BECAUSE ARTHUR COULD TRUST MERLIN WITH HIS LIFE DIDN'T MEAN MERLIN COULD DO THE SAME."

This.. is the most devastating line I have ever read in a Merthur fic, ever..
