#do they actually really truly go to bed at fucking 8:30. surely that is insane

[autogeneity]

attempting going to bed at 9pm (or earlier! technically. for falling asleep time) feels so ridiculous. like some sort of joke. and yet. purportedly this is what getting up at 5am would demand. is this really something people do wtf

[angel-deux-writes]

I don’t think I’ve ever talked about this On Here, but I really want to tell the story of the guy who put in my kitchen floors because it was terrifying

im putting it under a cut bc it’s probably not that long, but who knows.

(scrolled back up after i actually wrote it to confirm that it is in fact long)

Some backstory is that I was INCREDIBLY lucky and got my condo very cheap in a neighborhood I already knew I loved. The other unit I’d looked at was a full 30k over my budget, but this one was perfect because the owner hadn’t updated ANYTHING since it was built in 1985, so it was just...awful. Awful rugs, awful floors, awful walls. My dad is like...the dad who loves a project, so he was all “I can fix all of this except the floors!!! it’ll be great!!”, so I bought it. We hired a local company to do the floors, not wanting to go to Home Depot or whatever (Which i still support in theory, just......not this company lmao). Everything except the kitchen and bathroom was originally carpet. Hallways, stairs, every single room. And it was cheap industrial carpet, too. Like the kind in office buildings. The dude who did the carpet was like “what the fuck were they thinking???” 

Also, one of the carpets had a truly upsetting rusty stain, so. My guest bedroom might be haunted. 

Anyway, the carpet guy was great. He was the owner of the company, and he was older and very kind. I had my mom come over with me when he was doing the carpets, but I didn’t even need her there. He was cool. His son was in charge of the hardwood portion (I say “hardwood”. I mean, like, the cheapest laminate while still looking nice lmao). He was less great. He had a team of like 3 dudes and 1 lady who would show up and work, doing my office/dining room and upstairs hallway. I know carpet is easier, but the carpet guy took one day, and these guys took a week and a half. They messed up a few times, and it was kind of stressful, but overall it was okay. They had to redo all the subfloors, because condos built in 1985 were almost universally built in buckwild, impossible-to-explain ways, so it took forever. The hardwood guys were loud as hell, but they were nice! 

At one point, one of the nicest guys accidentally broke a few of my kitchen tiles while putting in the transition from the wood to the tile. I was cool with it, tbh, but he offered a discount on a new kitchen floor because, shocker, the subfloor under the broken tile was really jacked up, and it wouldn’t be as simple as taking a tile from under the fridge and replacing it. I was like, okay, cool! We set it up. 

I did not hear from them for four months. Which, I get it. It was a discounted job, so obviously they wanted to do full-price jobs first. I have no problem with that. The same hardwood guys came back to do the subfloor, and then they were like “okay [the owner’s son] will contact you about the tiles. That took about a week. Finally, I got a date. It was a Friday, a day when my sister was already working from home, so she was like “yeah, I can handle it.” She works in interior design, so she’s used to dealing with construction people, and she was REALLY useful when it came to talking down the son of the owner, who was like...every bad stereotype about contractors meshed with a used car salesman. 

So I’m at work the day the tiling is supposed happen. My sister is fine at first, texting me about how the son showed up with one single guy, and then left, so it was only the single guy working. She was annoyed like “it’s supposed to take one day, right? That’s what they said? There’s no way he’s finishing at this pace. Why are they making this guy do the whole thing by himself?”. She called him “nice, kind of cute, but a very slow worker”. I was like ‘well, if they have to come back tomorrow, whatever, that’s fine’.”

Around 10:30 she starts texting me increasingly insane shit. 

“He’s talking to himself downstairs? Maybe he’s on the phone”. 

“He keeps dropping stuff and yelling SHIT really loudly.”

“Someone just showed up with a bag, and he let them in, and they chatted in the kitchen for like ten minutes, and then the person left, and they didn’t take the bag with them”. 

“He’s standing outside using the tile cutter and SCREAMING whenever it’s on.”

“He’s out in the rain and shout-singing something while he’s cutting tile”

“He is BARKING LIKE A DOG TO THE TUNE OF THE RUGRATS THEME SONG CAN YOU PLEASE COME HOME”

I’m half convinced she’s making this shit up, but she’s uncomfortable so I tell my boss what’s going on and race home. When I get there, there’s a vaguely adam driver looking guy who seems nice enough. A little startled to see me, but we make pleasant conversation, I see that he’s not very far along, and then I go upstairs to see my sister. I brought her takeout as a treat, and we sit there for a while talking about normal things. Gradually, downstairs, the dude starts talking to himself. I’m thinking that’s still not THAT weird. Then he starts singing and clapping along. Okay, a BIT weird, but not terrible. I decide to go downstairs into the living room and play some Playstation. Like, maybe he thinks we can’t hear him upstairs and he’ll be more chill when i’m down there? NOPE! HE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT! He does the barking thing again (and it is, in fact, the rugrats theme song), he’s working at a pace of about one tile per hour, and he starts singing a song that consists only of the word “bitch” over and over again. 

I’m texting my dad, freaking out, and he tries to get in contact with the owner or his son, but nobody’s answering the phone. My other sister and her friend are on their way for game night. My sister’s boyfriend should be home soon from work, but not soon enough. It is, at this point, 7 pm. There is absolutely no chance he’s getting these tiles done today. He’s not even halfway done. My kitchen is VERY SMALL, by the way, so this reasonably could have been done in a day with two people, but I suspect that because it was a discount job, we got the discount treatment. 

My other sister and her friend show up, and the guy is perfectly pleasant and normal to them. We all go upstairs into my sister’s room, and we sit there, waiting in silence for it to start again, hoping that maybe with more people in the house, he’ll be okay. 

NOPE! He starts singing the “bitch” song again. I distinctly remember my other sister whispering “I love this song” and pretending to groove, which was kind of funny but NOT THE TIME. I’m sitting on my sister’s bed clutching a camp axe like a maniac, because I’m like “we are going to be killed by this giant kylo ren asshole”. I’m still texting my dad, who’s like “if you need me to come over, I can, i’m out of work”, but at this point it’s almost 8 and I’m also thinking about my neighbors. Like, he can’t be here at night. He just can’t. He’s so loud even just doing regular tile things! 

I muster up LITERALLY EVERY IOTA OF COURAGE THAT I HAVE, and I head downstairs. I ask him when he’s planning on wrapping up, because I know there’s no way he’s going to finish tonight. He tells me it’ll probably take about two more hours. That is 1) absolutely not true and 2) not something I’m willing to deal with because I live in a condo with neighbors on either side of me, and one of my neighbors is a truck driver who gets up at like 4 am! So I explain that my friends and I have an obligation to get to, and I would love it if we could arrange for someone to continue the work tomorrow. He’s SUPER NICE ABOUT IT and is like “oh, okay, no problem!” He leaves. Just...walks into the rain. Leaves all his tools and his tile cutter. I move it inside because it was on my front porch and it is, again, raining. 

My sister, a Nancy Drew Game fiend, starts searching the entire downstairs and eventually finds the plastic bag that someone brought him. My other sister, who is a nurse in a hospital that primarily treats overdose patients, is like “yep, that’s drug residue for sure”. I’m like, okay, so he didn’t hurt any of us, and he was nice, just....high and weird. But it’s over now, so whatever. My dad says he’ll call the owner’s son the next day, and everything’s cool. He also says that he, my mom, and my brother will all come over to watch the football game at my house the next day just to be there (which...im less than thrilled about the football part, but sure). I also beg my friend to drive up from the Cape to pick up his hat that he left at my condo over the summer just so he can chill for a few hours in the morning. 

The next day, the same guy returns, with the owner’s son this time. The owner’s son is like “why did you only get this far along?” but otherwise doesn’t really say anything. The barking guy is TOTALLY FINE, totally polite. My friend lingers as long as he can, but there’s an ice storm coming, so he peaces out eventually. I’m alone for about an hour with the guy, and nothing happens. He’s quiet, even when the owner’s son peaces for a bit. My parents show up, we watch the football game, and nothing happens. I feel like A LUNATIC, because my dad is like “he seems fine now” and I’m like NO BUT YESTERDAY WAS TERRIFYING. 

Anyway, so that’s the story. I didn’t end up saying anything to the owner’s son, but my dad reamed him out a bit for sending only one person to do a job meant for two. And now every time I drive by that business I suppress a shudder, and sometimes the barking version of the Rugrats theme song still gets stuck in my head.

Lost and Found

Part Six

The next morning, Aiden woke up to an unfamiliar room. Instantly, her senses were on high alert as she looked around, then relaxed as she remembered where she was. She walked into the bathroom and found a new toothbrush waiting for her on the counter, along with toothpaste, a hairbrush, and some lotion. Aiden smiled, then noticed a little note left next to the items.

Ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. to take you to the 2nd floor for breakfast. We should all be down there until around 10:30, but if you wake up late that’s fine. You had a long night and need rest.

Love,

The Avengers

Aiden grinned at the note, then got ready with all the products they had left out. Checking the time, she saw that it was 9:30, meaning that everyone was still down there. Walking out of her room, Aiden asked F.R.I.D.A.Y. to take her to the 2nd floor, just like the note said. F.R.I.D.A.Y. gave her directions to the nearest elevator, then took her to the designated floor.

Stepping out into the living room, she was met with a… messy sight.

Someone had cooked pancakes (Aiden guessed Tony if the Iron Man shape was any clue), and while decorating them, things seemed to get out of hand. There was whipped cream in Sam and Bucky’s hair, maple syrup on Steve and Peter’s shirts, smoothie splatters all over Clint and Tony, and fresh fruit strewn across the room. The only ones who were relatively clean were Natasha, Wanda, and Vision, who were simply watching the situation with an amused look on their faces.

Steve was standing up from his spot on the ground when Sam thought it would be a good idea to throw a glob of whipped cream at him; he ducked, and it hit Aiden square in the face.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched as Aiden slowly wiped the whipped cream off. She looked down at the white substance in her hand, then up at Sam’s terrified gaze. Without a second thought, she charged.

--

One intense chasing around the building later, Aiden and everyone else had settled down enough to eat breakfast. Halfway through the meal, Aiden raised her head and asked, “So, what are we doing today? I know Petey over here can’t really do anything,” she stopped and nudged Peter, “but I really want to have a good training session today.”

Tony opened his mouth as if to say something, but Nat beat him to it. “I actually want to see you in action, and I’m sure all of these guys do too.” There was a chorus of murmurs and agreements. “Tell you what, train with me, at 2. The rest of them can watch. Then we can judge how advanced you truly are and maybe even what you can do for us.” With that, Nat put her finished plate of breakfast in the sink and walked away, leaving Aiden staring at her, eyes wide.

Finally, she sputtered out, “Wha- What does she mean do something for you guys? Someone! Give me answers!” She looked around the table as everyone just laughed and shook their heads.

“For such a smart girl, you really are an idiot,” Sam snickered, promptly causing Aiden to punch him.

The rest of the day until two in the afternoon went by too slowly for Aiden’s liking, so she decided to explore the tower, wandering around every floor. She quickly learned that every Avenger had an entire floor to themselves, even Peter. She had been staying on Wanda’s floor. The tower was separated into sections: Tony’s lab, Bruce’s lab, the medbay, the workshop, and all the “business” floors were at the bottom. Then came the common floor, where they had group movie nights and where the common kitchen was. After that started the floors housing the Avengers. Every floor had a huge master bedroom, an attached master bath (also huge), a smaller guest room, a kitchen, and a living room. Above all of the residential floors were the training floors, filled with gym equipment from treadmills to boxing cages.

Much to Aiden’s delight, she discovered a pool and jacuzzi on the roof, and that’s where she decided to spend the rest of the day. It had been a while since Aiden had spent a day at the pool, so with the accompaniment of a bunch of stolen snacks from the kitchen, she relaxed in the pool, letting the cool water soothe her body.

No one bothered her, making it the perfect time for her to think about everything that had happened in the last 12 hours. She had discovered Peter Parker, the shy boy next door, was Spider-Man, saved his life by stitching him up, met the Avengers, eaten breakfast with them, and is now going to train with them?! Her life had literally turned upside down overnight, and Aiden was happy for it to stay like that.

At around one, Aiden decided to get out of the pool and get ready for training. She quickly dried herself off and made her way to her room, showering and putting on a sports bra and some athletic shorts. She walked over to Wanda’s room next door and knocked, waiting until it swung open to reveal a pleasantly surprised face. Two, actually. Nat was lounging on the bed and looked up as Aiden walked in.

“I really need to talk to you guys,” Aiden started, and it was obvious that she was flustered. Wanda frowned and pulled her onto the bed. Taking a deep breath, she started, “I- I think I like someone. No, I know that I like someone.”

Wanda and Nat both exchanged a knowing look, then, at the same time, stated, “Peter.”

Aiden hung her head and nodded. Then, she looked up. Confused, she asked, “How did you guys know? I thought I hid it well?”

Nat and Wanda both laughed. “Girl, it’s obvious! He likes you too, and he’s probably talking to the guys about it right now. He trusted you with his life, Aiden. You mean a lot to him, and it’s obviously reciprocated. Just, give yourselves some time to figure everything out, okay? We don’t want to see either of you getting hurt because of some stupid miscommunication. Just be careful,” Nat told Aiden, reaching out and placing a hand on her shoulder to comfort the girl.

Aiden smiled. “Thanks, guys. We should probably get going to train now, huh?” Wanda and Nat smiled and nodded.

Making their way up to the main training floor, Aiden felt the nerves start to settle in. She felt her palms getting clammy and she started fidgeting with her hands. When Nat noticed and asked if she was okay, Aiden lied and said she was fine.

A few minutes and one hidden nervous breakdown later, they made it to the ring where they would be fighting each other. Aiden and Nat both started stretching before anyone else made it up to the room. Nat headed over to the punching bag and started warming up, while Aiden stood at the bar, deepening her stretching while watching Natasha’s fighting style.

Nat swung hard and fast, but her stances weren’t defensive. Aiden, on the other hand, was much more graceful, using her past experience as a ballerina and a gymnast to her full capacity.

Finally, everyone filed in and Nat and Aiden headed over to the ring, climbing in.

Suddenly, Aiden’s nerves disappeared and she calmed down, settling in her element. Peter noticed the shift and called out, “You’re going to do great Aiden!”

Looking over, she took her gaze off of Natasha, sliding it over to Peter. Nat took advantage of her distraction and threw a punch, saying, “Rule number one: Never take your eyes off your oppo-”

She was cut off by Aiden turning her gaze back to Nat and grabbing her fist. Aiden twisted it and flung Natasha to the ground, successfully pinning her arm down. Nat used her other hand to punch Aiden’s stomach, but Aiden rolled out of the way. Unfortunately, she let go of Natasha’s arm, and they both sprung back up, circling each other.

Again, Nat rushed towards her, attempting to push out the legs from under Aiden. Aiden backflipped, straightening her legs to kick Nat in the face, causing her to stumble back. Aiden landed in a crouch and immediately rushed forward, jumping on top of Nat’s shoulder and bringing her arms down on her head. Nat fell back onto the rings of the fighting cage, causing Aiden to tumble off of her. Natasha smirked and walked over, pinning her down.

Nat opened her mouth to say something, but Aiden grabbed her arm and flipped her over, throwing Nat onto her back.

Both of them simply lay there, breathing heavily, until they remembered that they had an audience. They sat up and looked out to the rest of the crowd; they were all staring at them with shocked faces.

Then, Tony stepped forward, slow clapping. “Holy- Steve, cover the kid’s ears- shit. That was incredible.” He turns to Aiden. “Kid, you got tons of potential. I mean, you managed to take out a trained assassin, and you’re what? 15? 16? That’s absolutely insane.” He pauses. “Tell you what, I want you to train with us. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll come on missions with us. But I see the spark that’s in you; it’s the same that I see when I look at Peter. I’m not letting you screw this up for yourself.” He points to Natasha, Bucky, and Steve. “I want you three to train her, okay?” Then he points to Aiden. “Every day after school, I want you to come here with Peter. You can do homework and whatever shit here, I don’t care. But now? You’re part of the family Aiden. Enjoy it.” He finishes with a smirk, arms wide. Everyone stares at him in shock, including Aiden. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Tony walks towards the door, then turns around as he grips the handle. “Oh, and by the way, we’re hosting a karaoke party tonight. Be ready by 8:30, there’s going to be a ton of celebrities there!” And with that, he’s gone.

Still in shock, Aiden turns to Natasha. “What in the fucking world just happened?!” Even Steve was too stunned to tell her to watch her language.

Nat just shrugs with a little smile on her face. She places a hand on Aiden’s shoulder. “That’s Tony for you, unpredictable as hell,” she smirks, then walks out of the room. Slowly, everyone trickles out until only Peter and Aiden are left in the room.

Aiden jumps down from the training cage and makes her way to Peter. He just grins like a madman and holds his arms out for her.

Still not thinking straight, Aiden walked into them and gripped him tightly, feeling him tense up at the movement. Her heart started beating fast and she placed her head in the crook of his neck. They stayed like that for a while, until they heard the click of a camera. Startled, they jump apart and turn around to find Thor, Scott, Sam, Wanda, and Natasha. Thor and Scott both have their phones out, pointing them in the kids’ direction.

Scott gives them a little thumbs up and grins, calling out, “You’re doing great sweetie!”, causing both Peter and Aiden to double over in laughter. Natasha turns and gestures for everyone to leave. Right before she steps out and closes the door, she turns around and glares at Peter, giving him an If you hurt her I will murder you death stare while Aiden isn’t looking. Peter gulps and turns to Aiden.

“So, do you want to hang out until we have to get ready?” He asks.

Aiden nods, saying, “Sure, since we have to be ready by 8:30, I’ll probably have to start getting ready at around 5. Nat, Wanda, Pepper, and I are getting ready together so it’ll probably take a little longer.” Peter just nodded, pretending to know what she was talking about.

For the next few hours, they hung out and talked, feeling like two normal teenagers for once. Then, 5 rolled around, and Aiden left to go get ready.

A few hours later, everyone was ready. Aiden was dressed in a gorgeous red skater dress, with a bit of a plunging v neckline and a slit on one leg. She wore sneakers underneath, already too dressed up for her liking. Wanda had gone all out with Aiden’s makeup, making her look like a goddess. Pepper gave her a clutch that was small enough to put her phone in, but not much else. Natasha wore a small black dress that accentuated her curves, with Wanda wearing a small silver silk dress. Pepper wore a blue-grey strapless dress with a fitted waist and a flowy bottom. With that, they were all ready to go.

The party was in full swing by the time they got downstairs, and the boys were all sitting at the bar, drinking. Peter, of course, was drinking orange juice. Aiden smiled a little at the sight.

Tony was the first to notice them, letting out a whistle when he saw Pepper, practically drooling. The rest looked up, and Aiden saw Peter visibly suck in a breath when he saw her. She grinned at him, and he grinned back. The group of girls stuck together until they got to the bar, where Wanda left to go find Vision and Pepper wandered off to the dance floor with Tony.

Aiden walked over to Peter and sat next to him, asking for water from the bartender.

Peter looked flustered while he looked Aiden up and down and finally managed to stammer out, “You- uh, you look really nice! Really pretty, I mean.” Aiden smiled and pulled him into a hug, kissing him on the cheek.

“You look really pretty too, Peter,” she said, earning a laugh from Sam who had been eavesdropping. Aiden turned to him and flipped him off, before settling her gaze on Peter again. They talked for a while until Tony and Pepper came back with Wanda and Vision, insisting that it was time for them to eat and pulling them to a row of booths in the back of the room.

As they approached their reserved booth, Aiden caught the sight of someone in the one directly behind theirs. She froze, but when Peter noticed and asked if she was okay, she nodded and continued walking forward numbly.

Don’t notice him, Tony, don’t notice him, Tony, don’t notice him, Tony, she prayed. Of course, she never gets what she wants.

Tony spots the one person that Aiden prayed he never would have invited.

“Tom!” Tony calls out.

--

a/n - so I got a bit caught up in writing this chapter and it turned out to be super long but I just didn’t know when to cut it off, you know? Sorry for the cliffhanger but I had to, I think we all hate Tom for what he did oops. (Also, his face claim is Tony Revolori sorry not sorry).

[garethito]

You know... I've been meaning to ask you about this for a while, and yesterday's tag thing that you did with those Bale gifs only like... fueled? My curiosity? Lol, if that makes sense. Could you like... relive? The Champions League final from this year for us? Like, your perspective on it? Or maybe even the actual whole day of the final? Sorry, God, I know this is weird, but I just love how you tell stories from your life! I have seen you do it with some other anons once!

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this like, you guys always send me such interesting questions and Im so??? and OMG no this is not weird stop this is such a wonderful question to ask!! And omg you liked how I told the stories to those anons that is so sweet thank you so muchhhhh ❤️❤️💝❤️💘💘💞💞💘

But also this is making me really emotional I dont think I will be able to write this without tearing up but here we go!!! I was at school today and we had a special day so we didnt make any classes, so I had time to formulate an answer to this, and to complete it at home 💞

Quick WARNING?? Yes I am perfectly aware of how crazy and overdramatic this whole story sounds, but the thing is that this is how I truly feel about this day in my life. So yeah lol. Football is basically my life!

I would like to start this by saying that the day of the 26th of May 2018 is the most important day of my entire life as a football fan. There is nothing that could even come close to this. Absolutely nothing. Never in my life have I cried like in that night. Never. Absolutely never. I have looked at my life as a person, at my hardest times, when I cried a lot, but not even that can even slightly compare to the amount of crying that I have done on that glorious day of May 7 months ago. When I say crying, though, I dont actually mean crying, no. I mean violently sobbing, screaming at the top of my lungs, shaking and feeling numb. But in the best way possible, the happiest tears that I ever shedded.

My actual perspective, like you said, though, starts from the 2nd of May, a day after our semi-final second leg against Bayern. From that day, until the 26th, my mind, my body, my soul only thought about the final. I could not even focus on the Clasico on the 6th, neither on the last La Liga match. I was so fucking nervous, words are not sufficient to describe….. At least once every 2-3 days I would go to the bathroom with severe stomach aches and sit there until I would try to calm myself down so that my grandmother wouldnt get worried. I thank God, the Universe, or whoever you think invented life for the fact that highschool had nothing special during that period, just a few tests, that I got the best grades on, because had there been something big, I would have surely failed. That was a nightmare. Just think about it. Horrible La Liga season, then those fucking shaky as fuck second leg matches against Juve AND Bayern. I was literally so pessimistic that I am scaring myself right now thinking about it. All these bad scenarios played through my head ”What if Zizou loses his job? What if this will be the start of our downfall? What if this is the last Champions League final we will play? What if, what if, what if….”. I always tried to tell my brain how stupid I was, that we are Real Madrid and that we will win, like we always do, that we are the best fucking team in the Universe and that nobody even comes close to being like us. But its like these voices in my head wouldnt stop, it was so scary.

Come 25th of May I was an actual lifeless corpse. No matter how much I tried to call my best friend, who was in Bulgaria at that time, and telling her that I cant take this anymore, and her telling me that its going to be okay like it always is, that she doesnt really know my team well but she knows we will win, no matter how much of that was happening, I couldnt fucking stop being nervous and constantly thinking about this match.

On the morning of the 26th I woke up with a severe headache at about 8:30-9 AM. The only things that I remember from that whole day are the constant empty feeling, the amount of times I listened to Hala Madrid Y Nada Mas and the amount of pictures, videos, promotional/support videos I saw and watched. I called my friend one last time and I told her that now I am optimistic, that we will win.

My whole emotional state was ruined, however, by Gareth not starting. I dont need to explain the whole February-May Gaz-Zizou situation because I think everyone knows it too well by now and what I fucking felt about it. I have never been so enraged in my entire life. After all he has done, still no place in the starting XI. Though, this is pretty much the only thing that has ever angered me about Zizou. I love that man too much, I dont think there will ever be a coach that will ever come close to him, a coach that I will ever love as much as I loved him, but this whole situation really, really angered me. As I said, not going to get into details, I think that is enough. Though, I tried to only focus on my hardly achieved positivity about the match. 

The match started and my emotional state reached its lowest point. I couldnt take it anymore, I felt impossibly sick from being so nervous, I got the most severe migraine ever, my eyes were literally about to pop out ugh again, remembering that gives me chills. Dani got injured, and I got angry again, because he didnt deserve it, the World Cup was literally about to start like God give this man a break!!!

Halftime at 0-0, my optimism grew, believe it or not. I felt like we will have more urgency in the second half and that we will win this.

The second half came, with me just desperately hoping for a goal. Because we were playing so well, we deserved a reward!! And it did come, with Benzemas goal, God I felt so relieved and happy. I have seen people saying that his goal was not good but? You literally take everything that is being offered to you in a Champions League final! He scored, he gave us a goal, we were 1-0 up, and I was literally screaming from joy, I was shaking so much and I was the proudest person alive. God, I love my team. Then, Liverpools equalizer came. I didnt think anything of it. I wouldnt get rid of my optimism. I was looking at my boys and I knew we would win.

And Oh My God, here we fucking go. 

Minute 61. Gareth comes on. I was so grateful that he at least got to play 30 minutes, I literally only wanted to see him. At that time, considering everything that was happening, I was already emotionally starting to prepare for his departure to another team. I was watching him in those moments, flashbacks through my mind of all the glorious times I got to see him, all of his goals, everything.

And then…

All of a sudden…

62:58

That moment. The moment in which my soul has definitely left my body. The most beautiful moment I have ever lived in watching football. The moment in which I was the proudest person alive. A moment I will never, ever, ever forget, for as long as I get to live. The moment I have literally seen history being made, right before my eyes. The moment in which I literally evaporated, left the Earth, idk how to explain this but I hope you understand me. My idol, that had suffered so much that season, scored a fucking bicycle kick in a FUCKING UCL FINAL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. The happiest, most full of joy, best, most emotional moment. Ever. No exaggeration.

My perspective on this? Oh well, brace yourselves. If you think everything that I have written so far seems insane, get ready for this.

I was on my bed, watching the game, shaking. I saw the passes, beautiful passes, that ended up with Marcelo controling the ball (incredibly, as he always does, my Brazilian sunshine). I saw him swaying to the side, and then passing a high, aerial ball in the box. Gareth came up to meet it, with… a scissor kick. That he scored. I literally fucking exploded like there is no other word. I jumped off my fucking bed and I ran literally across the house and came back, making the most inhuman noises ever I swear. I came back to my bedroom and I collapsed on the floor and I literally started fucking bawling my eyes out, and even that seems like an understatement. Screaming at the top of my lungs, bawling my eyes out, literally all of it happening on the floor. My grandmother literally came in and she thought something happened to me, but then I just pointed to the screen and she understood lmao. And from that point onward I cannot say anything anymore, because I dont remember anything else but me on the floor, literally. After like 15 minutes I hardly even managed to get back on the bed, and guess what?

82:41

AGAIN.

???? I dont know what to say anymore. Like he literally toyed with everyone that night, he didnt care about anything. Again, with a pass from Marcelo, he literally goes from FAR FAR FAR away and he shoots and… scores?? How much do you think my poor fragile self can handle? Like, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU SAY TO THAT?? Except for bawling your eyes out even more, if thats even possible? Its been 7 months and I still dont have words for what happened that night, like 2 goals ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? LIKE DO YOU UNDERSTAND I WAS LITERALLY DEAD LIKE ??? I LOST EVERY SINGLE BIT OF MY SANITY THAT NIGHT. 2 goals, 2 goals in 20 minutes, he was about to get a fucking hattrick. A fucking HATTRICK IN HALF AN HOUR, but Karius unfortunately stopped that shot.

The match ended and… I dont remember anything other than barely seeing the screen, I literally had a blurred vision.

We fucking won it. We DID IT. THE DECIMOTERCERA WAS OURS.

In the moment in which Sergio lifted it I… I dont have words, did I go into another Universe, did I ascend, did my soul leave my body I dont even know but what I do know is that I spent the rest of the night, up until like 6AM, crying my heart out. And this is what I mean by ”I have never cried so much in my entire life”. Like I have never spent a whole night crying.

I went to bed at like 6:30, woke up at like.. 10?? I think you can imagine how I woke up, I literally felt like I was going to die but I spent the rest of the day catching up on everything that happened the entire night.

And then, of course, the celebrations, Cibeles, Bernabeu… of course your sensitive girl bawled her eyes out again lol!

Every day ever since it happened, I have always been thinking about this day. About all of it. No point in counting how many times I rewatched the goals lol! But I think you can imagine haha 💘

So yeah, this is pretty much it DSLKFDKJFKDFJKDFK. The story about my best ever day of watching football I made it unecessarily long (Im so sorry). I think the only conclusion that I can get from this is Hala Madrid Y Gareth Y Nada Mas lol! 💘💘

11. Do you have any strange phobias?Not that I know of

Day 8 Bleach fic Grimmichi

Still going with the 30-Day AU Challenge

Day 8: Horror Movie AU

UGH This was the hardest day so far because I’ve never seen an entire horror movie, so I wasn’t going to do anything for this one. Then I got the humorous mental picture of Grimmjow actually trying to be scary which morphed into Halloween. And then I realized that I just really wanted the two of them to get it on.

THEN I wrote 3,500 words of dirty, filthy sex only to realize in HORROR this morning that this is Tumblr and yeah, I probably shouldn’t post real porn on here lest I be banned or blacklisted or whatever is going on these day to censor folks.

THAT made me think that I maybe I should actually post this entire Dumpster fire worth of fic on AO3 so it’s somewhere safe. So I just did that.

ANYWAY, the beginning of this story is under the cut RATED MATURE and then here’s the link to AO3 where the graphic sex is. If you like that sorta thing. No judgment here.

While making regular visits to Earth after the war, Grimmjow learned just enough about human culture to be mightily confused by it and its nuances (learning mostly from TV and Urahara’s insane crew didn’t help), but when October 31 rolled around, he knew exactly what to do.

He used Urahara’s Amazon account to order what he needed and got ready in the alley behind the shop where no one could see.

At sunset, he drifted up to the Kurosaki residence and rang the bell, waiting and ready.

Isshin opened the door, took a long look and slammed it in Grimmjow’s face. “Ichigo, it’s for you!” his shout was loud enough to barely be muffled from the door.

Grimmjow didn’t move, rang the bell again, and the door opened with a pretty young girl cheering out, “Happy Halloween! Oh. You’re big. Do you want some candy?”

Grimmjow ground his teeth but didn’t answer.

“What is it, Yuzu?” another girl joined the first and looked up at him. “Ha. Nice. Ichigo!”

She slammed the door shut again.

Grimmjow was sorely tempted to just cero the door and maybe the entire house when the door opened the third time.

“What the...ah!” Ichigo actually jumped back and Grimmjow lost it. He doubled over laughing so hard he couldn’t draw a breath.

“Oh fuck you!” Ichigo said, immediately recognizing the maniacal laughter.

“You. Really. Thought.” Grimmjow couldn’t talk from laughing so hard.

“You’re a hundred feet too short to be a real Menos,” Ichigo snapped and Grimmjow hooted.

“Then why did you jump? I saw you!”

Ichigo muttered something under his breath, but Grimmjow grabbed the door before it could slam again. “I thought this was the stupid human tradition, to dress up and frighten each other.”

“Well, yeah, sorta.”

“And I did frighten you,” Grimmjow leaned forward then remembered he was still wearing the mask. He pulled it up and grinned at Ichigo.

“You’re lucky you’re pretty,” Ichigo informed him then reached out and grabbed his hand before Grimmjow could ask what that saying meant. “We’re ready to start the movie.”

“With your family?”

“Annual tradition. You might as well meet them sometime,” Ichigo said, leading him in. “You ever heard of Friday the 13th?”

“The day?”

Ichigo grinned n an expression that Grimmjow knew mirrored his own usual mad smirk. “Oh, you’re in for a treat.”

If Grimmjow had been wont to worry, he might have been nervous finally meeting the family of his … Ichigo but the fact that he didn’t think about it long enough to even define their … thing they had going on meant that he didn’t care. Or whatever.

Still, there was something a little unsettling when Ichigo led him into the family’s living room and didn’t drop his hand.

“Everyone, this is Grimmjow. He thinks he’s funny. Grimmjow, this is everyone,” was all Ichigo said before pulling him toward the couch.

Grimmjow pulled off the mask completely and dropped the hood before sitting beside him. Isshin was looking—glaring?—but didn’t say anything other than, “Snacks are on the table. We’re all out of souls but there is pizza.”

The dark-haired girl ignored him as she ate, but the lighter-haired girl smiled brightly. “It’s so nice to finally meet you, Grimmjow. I’m Yuzu, that’s Karin. Sorry our brother has no manners.”

“He was raised in a barn. By wolves,” Karin said with her mouth full.

Yuzu wrinkled her nose. “So were you. Gross.”

Grimmjow looked at Ichigo who just picked up the plate next to him and went back to eating. Well, if he’d built up any kind of picture of what meeting the … Ichigo’s family was like, this was way more low-key than he could have hoped.

Then Isshin dimmed the lights and put in the movie. Grimmjow would never admit to a fascination with TV and movies, but it was something that he enjoyed in the human world more than most things.

But the film they watched in the quiet darkness was something else. It was funny and terrible. It made him want to laugh and when the fake blood flew, he did laugh. Loudly and so suddenly that Ichigo choked on the soda he was drinking.

“What the—shut up,” Ichigo hissed, wiping at the sticky drops on his shirt.

Grimmjow just grunted in response but kept grinning. Ichigo elbowed him and Grimmjow pushed him away.

“Shhh,” Yuzu ordered, her eyes glued to the screen, her arms hugging a cushion. They obeyed.

Until the next gruesome murder on screen. Yuzu jumped and Karin swore when Grimmjow let loose another raucous laugh.

Ichigo slapped him in the face with a couch cushion then held it there. “Whaaat?!” Grimmjow grabbed at Ichigo’s hands to break free from the smothering.

“Shut up! We’re trying to watch the movie!”

“But it’s hilarious!” Grimmjow wrestled the cushion away from Ichigo and propped it behind his own head.

“It’s not supposed to be funny.” Ichigo’s outstretched hands looked like they were trying to decide if outright strangling would be more effective.

“It’s not?”

“No, it’s scary,” Ichigo said and Grimmjow burst out laughing again.

“This? This is what you call scary? Ulk—” Ichigo’s hands found their target.

“Shhhh,” the other three hissed at them.

Grimmjow broke Ichigo’s hold and gestured to the TV. “You actually think this is scary? I can show you three ways of killing them easier unless you’re actually looking for more blood spray and then I can tell you—”

Ichigo’s hand slapped over his mouth to quiet him. Grimmjow huffed through his nose and licked the palm. Ichigo glared but didn’t move.

“Ichigo, take your—” it was good to see that Isshin was struggling for the right word too— “guest away if he can’t be quiet. I don’t need his suggestions on more efficient ways of slaughtering the innocent right in front of my young, flowering blossoms of—”

“Shut up, Dad,” Karin said as she smacked Isshin’s face with Yuzu’s pillow.

“Ugh, come on,” Ichigo stood up and moved his hand to pull Grimmjow up too. “We’ll go to my room since you can’t keep your big mouth shut.”

Grimmjow wasn’t sure what he’d done to piss off everyone, but he wasn’t about to complain about the chance to be alone with Ichigo in a bedroom. Ever since they’d started doing … whatever it was they were doing, it was a rare treat to be completely alone somewhere private. And comfortable. Much nicer than an alley somewhere.

As soon as Ichigo shut the door behind them, Grimmjow crowded close. He was held off by the firm hand on his chest. “Don’t even think we’re going to—”

“To what?” Grimmjow breathed right in his ear as he brushed his lips along Ichigo’s cheek. He kissed his way down along Ichigo’s jaw.

Ichigo helpfully tilted his head as the kisses trailed down his neck and said, “We’re not going to do this or you’ll think it’s a reward for your bad behavior.”

“Bad behavior?” Grimmjow scoffed and pulled Ichigo’s hips closer by his belt loops. “What’re you talking about?”

“Weren’t you being obnoxious on purpose just so we could ditch my family?”

Grimmjow planted his hands firmly on Ichigo’s ass but pulled his face away to say, “How was I obnoxious?” He couldn’t quite muster up the irritation to be truly angry when Ichigo’s hands were running up his chest and his breath was warm over his lips.

Ichigo’s chuckle was a warm gust. “Nevermind,” and he pressed his lips to Grimmjow’s. Grimmjow opened his mouth eagerly but Ichigo kept the kiss light, tracing his lips against Grimmjow’s top lip first then outlining the bow with the tip of his tongue.

The teasing touch made Grimmjow shiver and tighten his hands on Ichigo’s waist. But Ichigo didn’t hurry. He paid equal attention to Grimmjow’s bottom lip as he slid one hand up into Grimmjow’s hair and wrapped the other around his back to hold him close.

Grimmjow was breathing as hard as he would in battle when Ichigo finally finally licked into his impatient mouth. Grimmjow responded so fervently, he felt Ichigo’s back hit the door. He growled what might have been an apology as he slid his tongue against Ichigo’s to get him to play.

Battling Ichigo Kurosaki in this way had soon almost equaled the joy that fighting him gave Grimmjow. It was another way to enjoy the passion and energy that Ichigo put into everything he did.

Now Ichigo used the hand in Grimmjow’s hair to pull his head back. Grimmjow didn’t want to break the kiss and dove back in before Ichigo pulled him back again.

“The fuck’s wrong?” Grimmjow said, but Ichigo was pushing him then, and when Grimmjow felt the bed against his knees, he sat. Ichigo crawled right onto him and continued the kiss as if they’d never parted.

Grimmjow had two wonderful handfuls of Ichigo’s ass and he squeezed appreciatively before he encouraged Ichigo to grind down against his growing hardness. Then he moaned when Ichigo found just the right undulating motion and broke off with a gasp.

“Not laughing now, are you,” Ichigo said, looking down at Grimmjow and grinning his rare sincere grin.

“Nothing funny about this,” Grimmjow agreed and before Ichigo could get any ideas about taking charge without a fair fight, he flipped Ichigo ass over teakettle onto the bed. While Ichigo was still mid-bounce, Grimmjow climbed on top, his black cloak spread out over them.

“What the hell, I was trying to take things slow for once, you assmunch.” Ichigo pushed at his chest but it was like trying to roll a boulder off of him.

“You like it when I munch your ass,” Grimmjow leaned down to kiss him but Ichigo’s face was doing some kind of contortion he’d never seen.

He pulled back while Ichigo covered his eyes with one hand and said, “You can’t just say something like that.”

“What? I only said—”

“I know what you said! I’m saying don’t say it again! It just doesn’t sound...right.”

Grimmjow rolled his eyes because Ichigo couldn’t see it. He pulled Ichigo’s hand away and smirked down at him. “So I’m allowed to do it, just not to talk about it?”

“Yes. No. Oh my god, I don’t know, just shut up and kiss me.” Ichigo’s face was alight with a blush that Grimmjow was sure he could feel. He tried it, kissing Ichigo’s warm cheek and then the other before taking his lips again.

Ichigo seemed to take out his frustration through his kiss now, and bit at Grimmjow, writhing under him while he pulled at Grimmjow’s hips. Grimmjow didn’t have any interest in taking things slow either, but he did realize they needed to get unclothed somehow.

He slipped one hand down and under Ichigo’s T-shirt and palmed the tight abs he found. He tried to take the shirt with him as he slid his hand up to the flat chest, but it got stuck. He sat back on his heels and tugged at Ichigo’s shirt. “Off.”

“You too,” Ichigo agreed, sitting up far enough to pull his shirt off.

Then Grimmjow opened the fasteners of the cloak and let it fall off his shoulders and bundle at his hips. Ichigo immediately clamped his hand over his eyes again and blushed. “You’re naked!”

“Well, yeah. Isn’t that the point?” Grimmjow rolled his eyes again. “Why are you blushing? We’ve been naked together before. A lot.”

“I know,” Ichigo snapped and glared at him. “But I can’t believe you were naked under there the whole time that you sat downstairs with my sisters. It’s like you’re...more naked.”

“More naked,” Grimmjow smirked. “That’s a good one.”

“Why didn’t you wear something under there?!”

“What do you think that Menos wear under their cloaks?”

And Ichigo covered his eyes and groaned again. “Ugh, why did you have to say that?! Thinking about Menos isn’t sexy!”

“Doesn’t feel like you have a major problem with it.” Grimmjow’s grin grew as he circled his ass a little. Ichigo’s hardness didn’t feel like it had flagged much.

“You’re a freak,” Ichigo grumbled.

“That’s what gets you off,” Grimmjow said as he leaned over and kissed him breathless. Ichigo’s hands worked and pulled the cloak away completely so he could touch all of Grimmjow’s smooth skin and hard muscle. He stroked up and down his back as Grimmjow stretched back out over him.

“Jeans,” Ichigo reminded him breathlessly.

Grimmjow grumbled but finally sat back so Ichigo could open his belt and fly. Then Grimmjow took over, pulling the jeans and briefs together over Ichigo’s slim hips, and down his long legs. He whipped them off dramatically with a snarl that made Ichigo roll his eyes, but Grimmjow knew it was amusement.

“Socks,” Ichigo commanded and Grimmjow parroted back “socks” sarcastically, but he removed them too. Then he looked at the entire naked body spread beautifully before him and could have thanked whatever deity looked out for Hollows for the gift he was given.

Ichigo was apparently waiting for Grimmjow to just pounce on him as usual and braced himself. That made Grimmjow want to be contrary.

So, I’d want to say today was an adventure, but that wouldn’t really be true because it was more like 90% boring and 10% adventurous, lol, but the adventuring was still good. Alarm went off at 7 and I came really, really close to staying in bed- I mean, my supervisors on vacation, the other attorneys on the calendar don’t pay attention to my schedule, I could easily skip and nobody would notice….but I somehow convinced myself to get up, and sadly enough like none of the attorneys were in the office and I totally could’ve gone unnoticed, lol. Oh well, need to get those damn hours in. So I was asking around for anything interesting in court, so we went down and hung out for a bit, and we got something at least marginally exciting. It was a 7 sibling temporary custody for mom that came in last night. The judge wanted to move forward with a hearing even though the PD wasn’t there and the person who was getting shoved in to cover for her was freaking out, like she hadn’t even seen the case file she was like I could get an ARDC complaint for this, but the judge is like idc we’re going forward because the mom wanted a hearing, so we did and thankfully the actual PD showed before they got to their questioning. Not that there was any chance temporary custody wasn’t gonna be taken when mom was beating her kids with a broom and saying she wants to kill them. Sigh. Court went down pretty early though, so we went back upstairs and had to deal with the rest of the 7 sibling case. It had come in late last night, and the judge on duty put in a mandate to see all the kids within 24 hours, and their in three different placements, two of which are in the suburbs…..like, it was kind of insane. So I wound up speed filing out three emergency interview requests to get the paperwork through, so hopefully they pulled that off. The 3 oldest kids were in a shelter at least temporarily, and that sucks so I hope they get a better placement soon. After that pretty much everyone had headed out, but the one attorney I had been working with throughout the day wanted me to fix her client list for her in excel and basically retype the whole thing, which was fine until the numbers got fucked up on the different columns and this is exactly the kind of shit that causes my super genius brain to short circuit because my mind just will not process it correctly and it’s actually maddening. So I spent a while trying to fix that and I think I got most of it right before it was 5 and I left. Went right over to school for our PAD networking event, I didn’t have to participate but just kind of you know supervise and all that good shit, so mostly just sat around and chatted, but got to see some alumni lawyer friends and such so that was nice. I had small group at church at 7:30 so at about 7:15 I headed out, already knowing I would probably be late, and here’s where one of the cooler moments of the day happened. If you’ve read like, any of these posts, you know being late is legit my biggest pet peeve and it drives me nuts, even when it’s something that doesn’t matter if you’re actually late to, it just drives me nuts. So I leave school and I see Anthony standing across the street and my first thought is “I can’t stop, I’m already going to be late” but then something in me just said wait, stop. You’re on your way to your church small group that is literally titled “knowing God and loving others” and you’re more concerned about getting there on time than showing a tangible expression of love to someone in a vulnerable position you’ve come to know and built a friendship with, knowing that even seeing me for a few minutes can make his whole day he tells me, and I couldn’t help but think about how selfish I am and how completely out of whack my priorities are. So I ran across the street and talked for a few minutes, gave him an energy bar and the dollar in my wallet before heading out. As I was walking to the train I pulled my bag of popcorn out of my lunch box intending to eat it on the train, then I come across another homeless man I’ve seen around but never really spoken to all that much, so I offer him a bar and I was holding the popcorn in my hand, and it just felt right so I gave it to him as well. Hopped on the train, and as I was getting off at my stop a woman asked if I could swipe her on the train, and I said sure but I wasn’t sure if it would work because my card won’t allow double swipes sometimes if you just did it not long ago, but it worked for her so that was good. So I get to small group late, only to find out only 2 other members showed up this particular week, so 3 of us and the 3 leaders. It was kind of nice really, we just talked about our lives and things we’re dealing with, and I got to talk a lot about my ideas on showing the love of Christ to people in every action I take, so that I don’t need to have “Christian” emblazoned on my chest to be a good witness, as well as my other thoughts on just loving other people, which I’m sure you know by now is a subject I could go on about for hours, about how awful we’ve become at truly loving our neighbors and how when we claim the title Christian, you’re taking on the responsibility that every action you take, people will associate with God- and of course there’s grace and mercy and forgiveness and nobody is perfect, but it should be something you take very seriously- because so often the actions of “Christians” are the things that drive people away from the church, not the actual church teaching itself. And while we were sitting there talking I started to think about how frustrated and upset I’ve been at the church lately, and how it’s such an odd feeling because it’s not like I’m mad at God as people often get- I’m great with God, I actually feel like I probably have a stronger relationship with Him now than ever before. It’s not God or his teachings I have a problem with- it’s everything else. It’s the people who claim the title but proceed to violate every commandment in the most vile ways possible, and directly contradict the very words in the bible- and while I don’t want to fall into bitterness, I think I am justified in my indignation at this point- I’m not trying to compare myself to Jesus (at all, really) but it reminds me of when He saw all the people turning the temple into debauchery and He absolutely lost it on them, because they were besmirching the name of God in their actions, and that’s what I have a problem with. You want to be a terrible person and take away people’s health care and livelihood? Fine, but don’t you dare claim to follow a God whose vital commands are to love God and love your neighbor as yourself when your actions show you couldn’t care less about your neighbor. Don’t try and tell the world God wants them to institute cruel policies that can and will ruin lives in the name of corporate gain. Don’t pretend that you believe in a God who defines Himself as love (1 John 4:8) and take actions that show the complete opposite. Don’t you dare. Sigh, I didn’t want that to turn into a rant but it did anyway. Clearly I have a lot of thoughts on the subject, but I’m sure most of you already knew that by now. But small group was good, and they brought mini cupcakes for my birthday, which was nice. The journey home was where the real adventure began. So I get on the train, I get off the train and check for the next bus and oh great, it has “delayed” status 2 miles away with no way to know when it will restart, and the next bus behind it is 29 minutes out. Fuck. It’s like 9:40 at this point and the donut shop right there closes at ten, so I figured I could at least get something hot to drink and hang out in there instead of the freezing rain that’s been going on all day. So I go inside and order my tea while two young guys, late teens early twenties, worked on closing things up, and there were a few other people there talking. A few of them leave and then as I’m putting sugar in my tea I see a guy banging on the window trying to get the attention of one of the girls, who was trying to get him to leave. But then he comes inside and is trying to get all up in her face, not saying anything aggressive but it was obvious she did not want him there and she was just like “leave, get away from me” and I was legit ready to jump in and be like “get away from her” but the guy did leave at that point. Once he was gone I turned to the girl and asked if she was okay, but before she could even answer me one of the guys working there came over to her and was like “ma’m I’m gonna have to ask you to leave, you haven’t bought anything and blah blah blah” so they just send her out to right where the guy is and I’m just like WOAH NOT OKAY and like I understand not wanting trouble to break out in your store, but there’s no doubt in my mind if there was a female employee working there instead she would have let her stay. But I can’t just do nothing here. So instead of waiting for the bus inside the shop, I go back out into the freezing rain and find the girl out there. Luckily it seemed like the guy had disappeared, but I asked if she was okay and she seemed kind of shaken up but said she was, she just needed two bucks to get on the train to get out of here, and I had two since I just broke a 5 to buy my tea, so of course I gave them to her and she was saying that that guy was bothering her and she didn’t I know why they kicked her out like that and I was just like yeah I know, I couldn’t just ignore that I had to make sure you were okay, and you know us girls have to stick together, and she seemed very grateful and less shaken up, so that made me happy to see (not that I show kindness for the purpose of getting thanked, but I was glad I could at least help her a bit). You guys probably know this by now but I’m big into tangible acts of kindness and standing up to injustice when I see it, instead of just turning a blind eye. All in all this was a fairly mild situation, and it obviously could’ve gotten a lot worse (I’m very glad it didn’t) but I’d like to think that if it had gone there I still would’ve done what was right, even when it might me dangerous and mean putting myself between a girl and a man who wants to hurt her. So I guess I just encourage you to not let these little moments pass- even the small ones, just go a little bit out of your way to give a hand to your fellow girl- after all, we do need to stick together to keep each other safe. Sigh. But anyway. At that point I walk across the street to the bus station. Check the app, the first bus still hasn’t moved from its delayed status two miles away, and the second one is still 20 minutes out. Ugh. So we waited, there was a solid group of us there at that point, quite a few girls. After at least 15 minutes standing out there and the bus still 10 minutes away I was freezing cold and I was just like fuck this, I’m calling a Lyft so I did and I was so happy to get out of there because like I was so cold from the freezing rain, it was only drizzling but my hair was soaked just from being out there and like my toes were freezing. So I was very happy to be in a car and then in my apartment. Made some food quickly since I’d mainly only eaten mini cupcakes at small group. I was debating between watching this week’s arrow or supergirl since I hadn’t seen either yet, but decided on arrow more out of curiosity of what they were doing with the plot than actual interest in the show (and a bit because I was tired of watching supergirl become the Meh-El show week after week). The episode didn’t really feel like it accomplished anything, like they didn’t really make any profess with Chase until the very end, and now the Oliver just doubled his enemies by pissing off the Bratva too. Chase actually being on the run seems interesting though, so we’ll see where they go with that. I was majorly bored with the main Oliver feeling sorry for himself for being a terrible person storyline because I feel like it’s been so overdone at this point by multiple characters in this universe and just like, alright already, we all know he’s gonna end up back in the suit (or some sort of suit) soon enough, can we just skip all the moaning and pity partying? But yeah, those are my thoughts. Tired now, so I’ll say goodnight. Tomorrow should be fun, busy, but I’ll tell you about it then. Goodnight my loves. Happy Friday.
