Skip has always found a way to work through his problems and turn them around with relative ease, but the sudden death of his wife, Brandi, has brought his mostly carefreeness towards his children to a stand-still. With two freshly traumatized children and a newborn under his belt, can Skip juggle turning his shitty ass life around for his family, or will he crumble under the weight of his past mistakes?
Darleen hasn’t been the same since her husband, Darren, died, though she’d be quick to argue with you if you said anything of the sort. She’s FINE! She misses her husband, undoubtedly, but she’s not going to let that very, very, very tiny thing wreck her whole life, and she’s not going to let people give her grief about ANYTHING. Sure, she got fired from her job a few months back and hasn’t made any strides to find a new one, and she’s losing touch with her son as she goes and squanders all her responsibilities by partying and drinking on par with younger years, aaaaaaaaaaaaand the almost obsessive idealistic crush she’s developed on her neighbor is clouding the second half of her judgment, but she’s bounced back from worse and knows everything’s going to come up Darleen :) …………. hopefully

I finished reading "If we were villains" a few hours ago, so while I'm still going through the 5 stages of grief, here are the gayest scenes between Oliver and James that I made sure to save while reading even though I had no idea at first if it's going anywhere or not.
1. Oliver unconsciously leaning in when James was pretend-hitting him during class. (ACT I - scene 9)
2. James covering Oliver with the fake blood on Halloween. (ACT I - scene 12)
3. Oliver staying with James after the Halloween incident. (ACT I - scene 12)
4. "I wanted to give Richard ten bruises for every one he'd put on James." (ACT II - scene 2)
5. Oliver waking up next to James. "The strange sudden thought that I didn't want to move struck me." (ACT III - scene 10)
6. Oliver kindly informing us that he's the only one who knows every inch of James. (ACT III - scene 18)
7. "I desperately wanted him to stay, seized by the nonsensical idea that if he left, I would lose him, irretrievably.", "Forget to think of her." (ACT III - scene 18)
8. Oliver being blindly, savagely jealous while watching James and Wren kiss during R&J. (ACT III - scene 18)
9. Oliver thinking about James after having sex with Meredith. (ACT IV - scene 1)
10. Oliver going to spend the night with Meredith in the hopes that it'll help him forget about James. (ACT IV - scene 1)
11. Oliver yelling at James that he can't be mad at him or hate him. (ACT IV - scene 7)
12. Oliver having a crisis while watching James and Meredith kiss. (ACT IV - scene 9)
13. "He was my friend—much more than that, truthfully", "My infatuation with James transcended any notion of gender." (ACT V - prologue)
14. ""You didn't tell me." I didn't realize until it was out of my mouth that that alone was worse than any of the rest of it.",
"I never wanted you to look at me the way you're looking at me right now." (ACT V - scene 5)
15. "Worthy prince, I know't." and of course, the not so brotherly kiss. (ACT V - scene 6)
16. "Of course, the only person I really wanted to see was James." (ACT V - scene 7)
17. "You know why.", and James begging Oliver to let him make things right and kissing his hand the last time he went to see him. (ACT V - scene 7)
18. "But more than that—you must know—more than anything, I just need to see James." (Epilogue)
19. Oliver admitting at least to himself that he still is in love with James. (Epilogue)

🎲 kiss kiss for dottore hehe
You rolled 3! That's a little forehead kissy!
"Hold. Three, two- you're not relaxing," Dottore chided, eyes fixed on the display in front of him, "we'll have to redo this. Remember, you pull all you can, return to the initial position and relax for three seconds. You have to relax the muscle during those seconds or my data points will be muddled. Understand?"
"That's what I'm doing," you whined softly, having had quite enough of his tests already.
In truth, the many tests weren't half as bad as you made them out to be, certainly more pleasant than the outlook of succumbing to your Eleazar, muscles already akin to rusty hinges. Whether he did it for you specifically or not mattered little.
"If you were doing it properly, these readings would be useful. One more time."
As you followed his directions, mind wandering in a way that was only ever possible when your body was guided by his smooth voice, your eyes came to rest on the crude metal structures lumbering in the corner. They stood like remnants of the departed, already stripped of flesh and reduced to nothing but bone and the wish for a better future.
"Are you done gawking? We'll need to fit one of them to you next and repeat the measurements tomorrow. I'll configure the strength of their assistance tonight based on what you just did. Go rest for now."
Without comment, he saw how you struggled to stand and went over to lift you up, handing you the nearby cane before removing the small electrodes from your exposed skin.
"Omega should soon resolve this for good, the exoskeleton will be ready for your rehabilitation once you're cured."
"A heretic asking me to have faith? Ironic," you smiled at him, ignoring his scoff.
Every step was tiresome, infuriatingly so as of late with all the exercises he pushed you through. An idea crossed your mind, body coming to a halt before your mind could intervene.
"Don't I get a reward for my cooperation?"
"And what about the aid I've provided thus far, or the promise of having a tool to combat muscle atrophy, do those hold no value?"
"A kiss and I'll be quiet for the fitting tomorrow."
Dottore groaned almost playfully, glancing towards his creation. The press of his lips against your forehead was pleasant, if a little disappointing.
"Run along then. And be ready at eight."

this is like the third time ive had to post something like this but you guys need to stop treating unodum like a celebrity or fangirl over him or act like its some sort of gift to be talked to by him or especially treat his friends weirdly because they talk to him regularly. ive gotten word that his friends are being treated as special just because they have connections to him and being asked to like say stuff to him or whatever??? which is legitimately very very gross behavior. cause its not only really uncomfortable for uno but it gets very awkward and uncomfortable for me and his friends. im aware my popularity in the regretevator fandom is largely because im associated with him and in all honesty from the START that concept has made me pretty upset. neither me nor his other friends want to be seen as special just because we’re close to him. its part of why i didnt make much outside of the blog AND why i just abandoned the blog and the fandom altogether. i think a lot of you guys are a younger audience and are still learning internet etiquette and social boundaries, but this needs to be a lesson in how NOT to treat others on the internet, especially content creators. this isnt to say dont attempt to build friendships with people you think are cool and feel like you have things in common with, but you cant go into that with the mindset of “i worship you notice me.” you need to understand that no matter how popular your favorite creator is, theyre literally just a person. thats it. just a person. not a god, not a character, just a person. im really fed up
