#from a Bratz animated special or something

I think the reason people have so much nostalgia for 80s and 90s Barbie--even collectors who were too young to have actually had them--is the material and tailoring of her clothing was better than on modern Barbie.
If there was a giant tub of 80s Barbies and a giant tub of modern Barbies and I randomly grabbed one doll for each then, yeah, I think the odds are that I would find the 80s Barbie more technically impressive.
But looking at Barbie as an entire line, something about her 80s toys feels so . . . elderly. Like an old person's conception of female beauty and fashion, as informed by southern beauty pageants.
It is completely unsurprising to me that Bratz ground Barbie's face into the dirt with their oversize feet when they debuted.

I finally watched Wish. And I gotta say, it's not as bad as people say it is. Don't get me wrong, it's not good by any means. But it's still not so awful I felt frustrated and sick to my stomach after watching it. But it's also not so bad it's good to the point where it becomes a guilty pleasure for me like the live-action Bratz movie. It's just...bad. But not horrible. It had potential. It COULD'VE been good if the writers actually gave a single damn, and knew what they were doing. Or, alternatively, if they simply spent a few more hours on the damn movie. But alas, they did not, and since we're in the bad timeline, this is what we got. The music is what really weighs it down, with just about every song being meaningless, badly-written, and having terrible grammar/confusing metaphors that don't hold up under a microscope or even make any sense at all, really. The only thing stopping them from being completely insufferable is the fact that the actors are legitimately good singers, making it a crying shame that none of them weren't given better material to work with.
The characters themselves, though, are unfortunately very boring, one-dimensional, and contradictory/confusing in their writing. The setting, plot, and worldbuilding are all very bland and haphazard as well, to the point where I actually laughed out loud during the climactic scene at the end where the king brutalizes Asha with his evil magic. It was that ridiculous! The side characters, both human, animal, and star, were all boring and pointless(except for the Star ig) and I really have a bone to pick with Gabo especially. He goes from thinking that Asha killed her family(for no reason, mind you) to shaming Simon for being a bad friend and betraying Asha to the king, both in the SAME SCENE!!! It's like...all of the characters are this inconsistent honestly.
And I don't buy that people would be happy to "forget without regret" when it comes to their wishes. It just makes no sense to me. The writers should've come up with a better excuse for why the people of Rosas put their faith in the wishing system rather than "they forget what they wanted in the first place but are totally all right with that!" especially when Asha acts like this is a new revelation. Like come on, guys, you work at Disney! Give us something! But they gave us nothing. Because they are lazy. A shame.
Also the costumes in this movie were boring and bland af, and everything was really monochrome and lifeless. It definitely fails in comparison to the costume designs in Encanto, The Princess and the Frog, and even Tangled. Everything just feels so dull, cheap, lazy, and uninspired. Though I do like Asha's design aside from her outfit, she is very pretty and it's sad what this movie does to her. This movie in short didn't feel like a Disney 100 Anniversary. In fact, it didn't even feel like a Disney movie at all. It felt like a student film that was inspired by Disney, or like those direct to video films made for really little kids that have a low budget and even lower-quality CGI. Just a massive disappointment. I'm afraid that Disney is no longer the gold standard of animation that it used to be. Oh well. 😔
this is what really ticks me off about wish. I would be fine if it was just terrible if it ended up not being amazing or even good, but it’s mediocre. And that drives me INSANE because I see so much potential in the story and characters and the villains but they just let it bite the dust and left us with this infuriatingly mediocre movie that was supposed to be the 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL FOR DISNEY! That’s supposed to be something fantastical and amazing and have that wow factor but it’s just so bland and it makes me angry. Also the fact that it was originally supposed to be traditionally animated but they changed that also makes my blood boil.

what were the shepards like as kids
like what games did they play together or what toys did they love
as kids they were actually somehow worse, thwir dynamic was pretty much like meatwad, frylock, and master shake from aqua teen hunger force, if u dont know what i mean, basically tim was always trying to keep them under control, curly was always insulting someone trying to get ppl to do what he wanted, and angela was literally the most innocent but not INNOCENT yknow??? she was a whole BRAT but most for someone to like play w her or something or to get her a toy she wanted
if angela wasnt forcing them to play tea party or princess w her, angela was usually playing around w stolen or thrifted stuffed animals/dolls, curly was always fucking around w other ppl and stealing their action figures and cards or whatever, and tim, since he was the first kid he did get a few cool toys but had to out grow them quickly to take care of angela and curly so he just gave them off to them, it was like mostly toy cars tho or something small, he wasnt a big toys kid, tho, he rlly loves rough housing w curly tho, that was always fun for him, like ACTUALLY fun, no other mean spirited feeling
when it comes to fav toys im gonna use modern day toys to give yall an idea bear w me here
angela would have a bunch of fav toys, but she strikes me as the little girl who loves small cute things, if she couldnt have her stuffed animal, she always had something small like an lps or shopkin, BUT doll wise, i could see her liking monster high or bratz, always wore a tiara around the house cause she felt special as the only girl
curly would love nerf guns, i will not elaborate further ive spoken my truth🗣️🗣️
tim, once again, not rlly a big toy guy, so he would love small toys he could just fidget w, like a tech dec or somethin like that, can do cool moves w em

what are your thoughts on the short lived live action netflix winx show queen?
i personally couldn’t get past the outfits 😔
I loooooove questions like this that let me ramble about my interests outside of dc, also sorry it took so long to post. I hope you're still around to see it <33
Okay, so I vividly remember when the news that a live-action Winx was coming, and everybody was soooooo stoked (including me), and there was the craziest surge of fancast tweets ever. Like, I literally fought with someone on Twitter who fancasted Madelaine Petsch as Bloom, and I was like...well, no! Either way, the role went to Abigail Cowen, who actually plays Dorcas in 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina', which is a part of the Riverdale universe that Madelaine Petsch is also in because, well, she's in Riverdale. And then K-pop stans were fighting over whether or not Twice's Momo or Blackpink's Lisa would be a better Musa; it was just a crazy day. Understandably so; it's always a big deal when beloved animated shows are adapted into something more real. I personally was jumping for joy.
And then the promo pics were released, and everybody very quickly went, "wtf?" (including me)
Good god, those outfits were so fucking awful. No, they weren't, actually, they were pretty normal, but when you take into account the source content, it was actually pretty fucking bad. That was only a part of the outrage, though; a lot of it came from the whitewashing of Flora's character, which actually wasn't whitewashing but a completely new character named "Terra." Which. Is so...! they ended up introducing Flora later, but I feel like that was due in part to the outrage because, similarly to Bratz, Winx was partially so popular due to its diverse range of characters and cutting out the Latina character to replace her with a white one with the EXACT SAME POWERS is absurd.
Also, they whitewashed Musa, a fully Chinese character. The actress that plays her is part Singaporean, which, yes, is Asian, but they're not interchangeable. Even crazier is she's mostly European and very white-passing, so it's like, uhhhhh.
I do love the dark-skin representation with Aisha, tho, like they ate that ONE thing.
Okay, so now for MY thoughts. I don't hate the show, not in the slightest. I only watched season 1, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the only reason I didn't watch s2 is because when it came out, I didn't have the steam to watch something entirely new, and I ended up just forgetting about it. I don't think the show is bad; I just think that when you remember the name it's attached to, it becomes very, very bleak in comparison to its source material.
There's been a very big trend within the past ten or so years where big media companies are "rebooting" childhood favorites but with darker and more mature plots, which was cool the first couple of times, like Riverdale s1, absolute gold (before it devolved into whatever tf it became) and the early seasons of chilling adventures of Sabrina. It was something new and fresh like Twin Peaks meets your beloved animated characters from when you were kids, but it very quickly started to feel like it was an easy way to gain an audience. Fate: The Winx Saga could've been something good had it not been attached to the Winx brand. But then it would've run the risk of failing (which it did anyway) instead of being an overnight smash hit solely because of the namesake. Even if people hate watched it, those are still views, and those company execs get their paychecks.
Like I said, I'd have no qualms about it if it was an original series, and oftentimes I forgot that it wasn't one. But that's the problem, it wasn't.
Making live-action versions of cartoons will always prove to be difficult because those cartoons aren't necessarily meant to translate into real life; that's the whole point. They're not real. They're different and original and have special powers, unrealistic proportions, and weird stances!! When those cartoons are made into life action shows, they try to make them as natural as possible bc, duh, a real person doing those things would look dumb as hell, but also, those shows were enjoyed because of all of those little things that don't translate well in real life. At least that's why I enjoyed them.
I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to even compare the shows because, in my head, they're not even remotely similar. Like it was beyond "making it darker," it really was just an entire show; there was even some continuity between the Archie comics and the bizarre acid trip that was Riverdale. I know I probably sound like a broken record saying how drastically different it was, but the laundry list of differences is so insanely long.
I've rewatched the original Winx many, many times. I know the pilot episode like the back of my hand and all of the major plot points of the first few seasons (bc I abandoned it once that 3d animation came into play). I supposed this is how people who watch movie adaptations of books feel, pointing out details that are "minor" but don't feel minor when you know the source material so well.
Here's a list of differences I can think of off the top of my head from the first season alone because I didn't watch the second in its entirety, so this is just from my understanding:
alfea is in Solaria, which...ughhh, don't piss me off. It's located in Magix in the OG series, along with the Cloud Tower (school for witches) and the Red Fountain (school for specialists), which, btw, were both axed as far as I know.
Witches are kinda sorta a thing? Instead of witches going to a whole different school and having their own unique powers, they live in hiding and are called blood witches because they blood bend.
There are no Trix, just Beatrix. Who is a fairy and an annoying evil one at that?
They are all British. Everyone is British. I don't understand why Bloom is the token American. I don't understand why she is the sole American to go to that school; it doesn't make sense to me in the slightest. Like, if it's a school for all fairies, then...why? And if it was only for British fairies, then...why?
Sky and Stella date, there is so Brandon; in fact, most of the specialists have been axed. (Helia plz come back to me, bae. I took you for granted last time)
Obviously, there's no flora until season 2...which. Don't pmo.
Ummm, the whole "the burned plot"? Which is interesting, I'll admit.
No transformations except that weak ass one they had in s2 that I saw on Twitter and closed the app in a fit of rage
Stella is a bitch?????? She's literally the definition of a girl's best friend, fashion icon, willing to die for the people she loves, and big golden retriever energy. And they just. They made her so awful. She does have a redemption arc, but it's just so...
I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but those are the ones that really stuck with me well over a year after I've seen it.
so what does this mean? This means...well, idk what this means. Like I said previously, the show, if it was standalone, would be absolutely fire i think, but the moment they attached the Winx name to it, it suddenly had really big shoes to fill, and it just couldn't do it, not with those major changes. So many beloved aspects of the original show were taken out for a bunch of new things to be added in, making it feel like something completely new.
If the show wasn't advertised as a Winx show and someone approached me saying, "Hey, ro, if you like Winx, you'll like this show because it's like a darker, more mature version of it." I'd be interested. But the moment it became "Hey, ro, have you seen the new winx show?" it became something else, something with expectations, which often doesn't fare well for live adaptations.
Sorry, this got so long, and sorry I took so long to post it. I hope this jargon made sense, I got carried away.
tldr: I fw it when I forget it's Winx

Tagged by @karetahana Thank you for tagging me hon🌸🌸💕
Are you named after anyone??
Kind of so my mom named me something completely different but my Grandma changed my name when she came to get me from the hospital. My first name was originally Jasmine but my Grandma changed it to Joyce cause it sounded like my Grandpa's name George. My middle name is a disaster cause my aunt chose it, its horrible and i hate and i want to change it to Jasmine. I do think Joyce fits me as a first name better though
When is the last time you cried??
Monday, the usual no one has ever loved me and never will, im fine.
Do you have any kids??
No unless my stuffed animals count.
Do you use sarcasm a lot??
Not often, sometimes.
What’s the first thing you notice about people??
Their hair, it's the first thing my eyes go to especially if it's like a bright color or a cool style.
What’s your eye color??
Brown.
Scary movie or happy ending??
Happy Ending. I just want everything to be like a Barbie movie and it works out perfectly. I didn't like the craft's ending because Nancy, Rochelle and Bonnie Deserved better. Like they didn't even do anything wrong, they were no where too taken over by power.. In this power point I will explain how Sarah was the actual problem.
Any special talents??
I can touch my head with my foot, I can even easier touch my nose with my foot, does that count? Is that a talent.
Where were you born??
Florida
Do you have any hobbies??
I collect dolls and I sew. the amount of clothes I've taken apart and sew into completely different things. I turned a long sleeve top into a spaghetti strap top and im really proud of it. I just never wear long sleeve tops unless its off the shoulder and cause it had a velvet cheetah print heart that said Bratz and cheetah print neckline I couldn't so I changed it and was able to keep the neckline intact also had to take it in cause it was pretty big in the waist.
Do you have any pets??
Yes, I have a sister. She's a good pet and I love her.
What sports do you/have you played??
I was a cheerleader and also did dance through middle and high school. Random story no one asked for I only learned to do a split out of spite because the head cheerleader while the coach was out went down the line to ask who could do a split and skipped me cause I was the biggest cheerleader. But I am unnecessarily flexible so every night I practiced doing a split and it took me like a week to do it. And I heard some of the other cheerleaders say I was only on the team to be a base. First of all I was the only bitch there with rhythm and who was good a choreography because I was also in dance. Like Just because I'm fat it doesn't mean anything. One thing about me, being fat has never stopped me from doing anything. The way other people treated me for being fat hurt as a child and was the sole reason I fell into depression and self harm. But I stopped caring what other people think a long time ago, like fuck everyone who has a problem with fat people that has nothing to with us. Their just fucking little bitches. I may have went on a tangent there.
How tall are you??
Legally 5'7 but I can't accept it so in my mind 5'8. Yes, an inch matters, my whole life was a lie.
What was your favorite subject in school??
Art and Dance, in 12th grade I had like almost all electives beside English and math and I didn't have PE! Like it was the best thing ever.
Dream job??
Princess, but like in the sense where I can wear a tiara and go to balls and be pampered but with out all the rules.
I tag @theficblog @hopeticket @dibidibidismynameisleeknow @joonsbonsailurks @jjongolese @jonghyuns-husband @ncityinthebuilding @farraige25 @simply-elegantly-kai @tremendousmasculinity , @kumigrlrl you dont have to do it if you dont want to and I also tag anyone who wants to do it.

See You In Hell, Bratz Passion 4 Fashion: Diamondz!
Contrary to the opinions of many of my peers, I think weeding is awesome and I love it. There’s little I find more satisfying than an item of obviously low quality with no demand whatsoever coming into my attention and having the privilege of removing it from circulation.
Just to be entirely clear, we’re not talking about “extreme” or “controversial” content. I’ve had that conversation done to death a thousand classroom-polarizing times before. We’re talking about cheap. We’re talking about cash-grab. We’re talking about no artistic, cultural, spiritual, or even material value.
We’re talking about Bratz Passion 4 Fashion; Diamondz.
Some personal history first: I’m old enough that my last big toy phase before I reached the special level of adolescence where you have to openly condemn everything you once held dear as a child was Bionicles. I had the black bionicle from every generation up until that point, as well as a complete set of those little rolly-polly guys with the stretchy necks. I don’t know what they were called and I couldn’t be bothered to look it up for this lil micro-essay here.
What’s important is that they were cool. They did action-y stuff, I felt smart putting them together.
Waaaay Cooler, Smarter, Action-y, and REAL than my sister’s interests! Polly Pocket? Dumb! Pre-bronification MLP? Barf! Bratz? How fake can you get? Those were just shallow pieces of plastic made by toy companies. Not like my precious bionicles. So cool. So adult. So smart.
Then I watched the first Bionicle movie when it was on TV and realized I too was a cog in an elaborate toy commercial scheme. Something clicked in my horny mushy pre-teen brain, and I put away all my old favorite toys forever. It was now time to be shitty and elitist about intangible concepts instead, a hobby I’d keep until my early 20′s. But in addition to a change in hobbies, I also started to be a little bit less shit to my sister about her toys.
This confession out of the way, I don’t think my sister would have stopped me from throwing this DVD directly into the trash. My sister didn’t become a high-fallutin’ working-class intelligentsia asshole like her big brother, and we have nothing comparable in terms of media taste, but I think she would support me 100% if I told her I sent this DVD straight to hell. In fact I might call her later just to confirm. This disk was bad, is the moral of my story.
It took six paragraphs, but let’s talk about Day 3 on the job!
It was just me and Lisa today. I’ve upgraded from liking Lisa to absolutely loving working with Lisa. We talked everything from how her kids are doing to politics (she brought up Tr#mps latest satire-destroying phone call) to video-gaming to the history of animation. I genuinely like talking to her and it’s a shame she’s just filling in. If a job opens up at her branch, I’d apply for it, no question.
My boss Wallace, “Yer dad”-level queerphobe and Ron Swanson-esque libertarian, was putting out a metaphorical fire at another branch and I didn’t have to deal with him at all.
I did my opening routine. Checking the drop box, collecting the pull list, putting together holds, refiling returned materials, preparing ILL material, checking my work email, and the like. I was done with it all in about 90 minutes, with 4 hours left to go on my shift.
Wallace had told me to fill the time with anything I can qualify as “professional development” the week before, so I spent some time reading articles on the ALA website and googling “anarcho-librarianism” just to see what would happen. I found an abandoned blog and a twitter.
Then I remembered oh shit. I have to make a twitter don’t I
I don’t like twitter. I’ve tried to use it. I don’t get it. I’m too old to learn a new app. It’s impossible.
And yet I must. That’s where The Discourse is happening. That’s where the minds in my field are saying things. If I’m taking my career seriously, if I want to get a grip on the currents in my profession, I have to bite that checkmarked bullet. Stand by for updates on my professional twitter.
I got bored of being on the ALA site and ran out of productive things to google, and decided to look around the building for abandoned projects and mysteries to solve. It didn’t take long to find one, when I found a cart in the work room with a pile of DVDs in paper sleeves.
“Scratched” a post-it note on top said.
I asked Lisa if she knew how long these had been here, and she confirmed that they were in fact a hold-over from the previous staff that had left in a mass exodus some months before.
Well cool, I thought. I’ll see if these are too fucked up to play.
Commence with an hour of consuming children’s media, a few seconds of a minute at a time. I was fortunate that the work computers both had CD drives AND VLC media player! Thank you, past cool supervisor who put VLC on the work machines! Good call!
So I “watched” a few Dora The Explorers, a Care Bears film, that Trolls movie, Hotel Transylvania, and a Barbie horse adventure film, watching a few seconds before skipping a minute ahead to see if it would choke and skip.
See here’s the thing about scratched CDs. They’re weird. You can have a CD that’s fucked up completely (looking at you, my copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon 1) that still somehow plays fine like it just came out of the box. Sometimes scratches will seem totally superficial but goof up just enough microscopic binary that no machine will touch it. All these DVDs were ugly as sin, but that didn’t mean they were broken did it?
And it turns out a lot of them worked fine. That’s how I ended up watching Bratz Passion 4 Fashion: Diamondz which, unfortunately, played fine.
As I put the disk into the drive I remembered my sister’s participation in the Bratz toy craze. As an adult, a real one not the one I told myself I was at 13, I told myself that I might have a bias against this content, to just check the disk and not get judgy about what might be a kids favorite movie.
I uh... I failed to do that. BUT IT’S OK BECAUSE MY BIAS IS TOTALLY JUSTIFIED AND MY JUSTIFICATION IS RIGHT HERE
If you didn’t or don’t want to click the link, it’s a scene where the Bratz Diamonds are about to head out on some sort of fashion trucking marathon/race. Like any proper racer, the blonde at the wheel has a white-knuckle grip on the wheel, has just put their rig in gear, and in proper high-octane fashion, puts on a knowing smirk.
Except the smirk is, well... the animators just stretched the lips across the face further. I can’t do it justice, you just have to watch it, but I’ve done better animating just by pan-and-scanning around Windows Movie Maker.
This... isn’t content anybody needs. But I’m a librarian. I’m sworn to access. So the question becomes, does anyone want it?
I had to know, I had to know, how much circulation has this gotten? When was the last time this disk was in the hands of anybody at all besides me?
I popped it into Evergreen and behold: 15 check-outs since 2006 when it was released. No checkouts in the last 2 years.
I asked Lisa the proper procedure for removing something from the catalog, and in only a moment the deed was done. The case was repurposed, the disk trashed, the DVD cover recycled. It was time to go. I’d spent my remaining hours quasi-consuming children’s media.
I placed most of what I’d watched in a new pile, which I labeled “SCRATCHED BUT WORK FINE.” I placed one lone Barbie horse movie in a different pile labeled “SCRATCHED AND DOES NOT WORK.”
I felt like I’d accomplished something. I turned off the lights and I went home.

Glow-in-the-dark sausage party?
St. Patrick’s day isn’t usually very visible in Finland, unless you want to go to an Irish pub during this time of year, and if it wasn’t for GMM and all the baking accounts I follow on Instagram, I wouldn’t know what’s up. But, I’ve been expecting to see Chase dressed up as a leprechaun, talking in his brilliant Irish accent...well, since last year, to be honest. I admit, I’m not an expert in English dialects, but I think he’s doing a great job. And most certainly, a better job than either Rhett or Link. But Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone! Now, let’s turn things green and glowy!

This year, GMM’s St. Patrick’s Day is a bit more subtle shade of green than in the previous years, as the guys return to their “Shelf Where They Leave Things On”, and see, what happens to things when left in glow stick fluid for a month.
I have an opinion on Bratz dolls which I decided not to say at this point, because they are dolls, and it would be absurd to have strong feelings about a doll. Let’s just say, if someone needs to have their face melt down in a jar of neon green fluid, it’s the doll, not the cute kitty. In fact, that cat is adorable, and I want one. Please don’t drown it in a jar of toxic fluids, please!
Tumblr media
Oh crap, too late. The cat is definately lost. I should have known that it takes more than a soak in glow stick juices to remove a Bratz make-up. But seeing that cat...compared to how I felt seeing a Furby get decapitated, this is breaking my heart. Poor kitty.
I don’t have the slightest maternal instinct in my body, but I have to say, seeing Rhett lift that pig uterus with the tongs made my ovaries flinch. In my neverending thirst for knowledge, I decided to try to google what the interwebs say about pig uteruses (uteri?), and ended up finding a recipe for a uterus wok, some scientific articles about creating a pig-monkey hybrid, and a place that sells pig uterus by the pound. Big mistake on my part. I suggest you not google that. At this point, I’m as eager to get rid of the pig parts as the guys are. I don’t care who turned white. I think my face turned green. Which kinda fits the theme, I guess.
Tumblr media
Not gonna lie, I love the writers at Mythical for coming up with the descriptions to all these games. In the round of grapes and eggs injected with glow stick fluid, they really went for it: “Which one will glow bright, like Link that one time he “accidentally” sat on a lava lamp.” Link’s face after he figures out what he just read is priceless. This might have changed the way he sees lava lamps for good.
Tumblr media
I said this the last time, and I’m saying this now: Rhett feeding Link boiled eggs is not quite as delightful as Link feeding Rhett strawberries. I was very fond of the strawberries, and I personally think Link liked feeding them to Rhett, much more than he likes eating eggs fed to him. But enough about that. The glow-in-the-dark eggs were amazing. I wonder what would happen, if you gave them a vigorous shake?
Well, the guys officially lost the game at this point, and therefore have to spray some JLO Glow in the air as punishment, and to remove the stank of pig’s feet from the set.
In the final round, Leprechaun Chase appears, asking the guys a riddle:  “I always have to work, with something in my eye. What am I?”  Whoever guesses the right answer to this riddle, gets a special prize and the power of choice, when the guys must either squirt toothpaste or pour blood in to a jar with glow stick fluid, and supposedly, create a reaction.
I’m absolutely impressed with Chase’s accent. I didn’t read any of the comments on the video, but he nailed it, right? I actually recently listened to an audiobook which was based in Ireland, and as much as the reader tried, her accent was nowhere near as good as Chase’s.
Link guesses the right answer to the riddle (I did too, I’m so proud of myself!), and wins the power of choice. He chooses to pour blood in his jar, and there definately is an awesome reaction. Chase also has a special prize of...another bottle of Glow for him. I wonder if there was a 2-for-1 discount on them at Walmart.
Tumblr media
In GMMore, the party and glow-in-the-dark them continue, when the guys try making balloon animals with glow-in-the-dark balloons. Rhett manages to create a somewhat animal-like thing he calls a monkey with a problem, and Link’s creation, according to him, is an ant-eater who is trying to copulate with some sort of a blue sausage accumulation - and once combined, the two creations turn into something Link refers to as a sausage party. Let’s hope these two aren’t invited to a kids birthday anytime soon.

Lola & Astrid
Lola: [come in to get your tattoo then, which is on the back of her neck/shoulder blade moment which isn't the worst but I think it vibrates on those bones pretty hard, also the embroidery technique/colour will make it worse/more time, overall vibe a sassy, confident bitch but lowkey nervous on this tattoo] Astrid: [I like to think she's already in there and probably has been for hours because whether it's big or small on this occasion they obvs let her stop whenever she wants and for as long as she wants cos they know her so we just chilling with the dog BFF who goes everywhere with her lowkey and both having a drink of water casually so the dog can go up to her like hey gal] Lola: [have loads of pictures of her with dogs and cats, so gonna say we're an animal hoe and gonna be extra over this lil dog then AFTER you've stroked and loved upon it 'Shit, I've not distracted it, have I? I'm so sorry' like when you aren't meant to with blind people service dogs] Astrid: [just straight up talking to this dog like she's a person like are you okay, do you wanna go and the dog's like nah I'm fine by giving a Lola a toy or something like I think we should play with this gal] Lola: [straight up throwing this toy like we aren't in a tattoo shop like please be careful, probably getting told off by a grumpy tattoo dude and just loling like whoops 'cos the kind of carefree hoe we are 'what's your name?' but we are talking to the dog] Astrid: [being like 'did you forget we like rules?' @ the dog as if she caused this trouble herself and full naming her like a cross mum but we not cross we're more playful about it because autistic bants] Lola: ['so distinguished, suits you madam' and shakes her paw, then touching one of Astrid's leg tattoos as is clearly ground level with this dog rn 'that's gorgeous, how many do you have?'] Astrid: [when you an affectionate af person but you don't know her like that so then you can't answer that question and she must think you're being so rude sorry gal, but let's say the tattoo person answers for you cos probably did most of them but not all so gets it wrong so then you have to answer whatever the right number is] Lola: [you really shouldn't grab people but that's the kinda hoe you are so that's the vibe lol, undeterred but do let go of her leg thanks, just talking about ALL the tattoo ideas you have] Astrid: [at least you can likewise go off about that babe because they are literally another thing you collect/comforts you and makes you feel safe so like you always wanna get more, try not to actually talk over her and listen but it's okay if you do, she'll get over it] Lola: [just listening intently anyway and bowing to her superior knowledge on it 'cos you wanna get more even though you have yet to start this one and are gonna be sobbing in a sec lolll, very seriously turning to the dog 'Winnie, will you hold my hand?' then turning back to Astrid and rolling her eyes 'my girlfriend was too shamed to be seen with me'] Astrid: [just going OFF about aftercare too before she's even started this tattoo because as far as you're concerned there is only one right way to do it and everything else is wrong and a huge no, the grumpy tattoo dude from earlier who Lola's gonna end up having is just gonna try and be like nah she's wrong, this this and this is fine but shh sir tbh. The dog just grinning through all this cos she's buzzing about the energy 'She's not ever going to be heavy enough for proprioceptive stimming but it's still calming when she lies with you, she's soft and she smells nice, does that make sense?' her confused face when she then doesn't understand what she means about her girlfriend not wanting to be here though like um why] Lola: [just ignoring the man like the true lesbian you are, be careful girl, nodding 'total sense, Miss Winifred is a vibe' and giving her an approving sniff like yes 'it smells like bleach in here' probably a good thing babe but we're not happy lol 'ugh, 'cos she's so tough and I'm going to embarrass her' shakes her head like oh girlfriends] Astrid: [repeating back to Winnie that she's a vibe because you like the sound of that thank you but whatever you're gonna say about how it smells in here is interrupted by grumpy tattoo dude complaining that it's because Astrid always has to OTT clean up the station etc and blah before they start, like don't out her like that sir and don't be a dick so we're not happy about his vibe rn] Lola: ['you should be happy she's doing the hard work for you' even though we were the one complaining about the smell, we're not about it] Astrid: ['he's not a happy person' hahaha suck it sir] Lola: ['that's so sad, what happened?' oh gal] Astrid: [just telling her this dude's life story like he's not right there because we don't understand sarcasm bye] Lola: [when you weren't even being sarcastic but you were not expecting her to reply and you know he's not gonna be thrilled so you put your finger to your lips like shh but smiling at her so she knows you aren't being a dick like stfu] Astrid: [being like oh do you want some quiet, like offering to get them to turn down the music they always blast in tattoo places] Lola: ['can we change the station?' like this rock shit is not a #vibe honey and getting out your phone and aux cord from your bag] Astrid: [just like 'it's not a vibe [name of your tattoo gal] can we change it to a vibe?' because we're saying vibe now and obvs this woman will cos she's a good egg] Lola: [putting on your femme gay girl bubblegum pop playlist like every other person in here/grumpy tattoo man is going to be taking the piss but we aren't aware 'cos we're that bitch and just dancing around like it's the clerb] Astrid: [Astrid and Winnie are vibing, picking this dog up like do you wanna dance lil queen as if we're not in the middle of a tattoo sesh] Lola: [hyping them up in a very yasss queen manner and then getting interrupted by this dude being like are you done pissing about and just twerking at him like mwah 😘 as you climb your ass up onto this bench, then being like 'WINNIE, I NEED YOU' very dramatically with grabby hands and all, this man like oh my god] Astrid: [we're loling at her antics and then putting Winnie on her lap because this angel will look after you gal so we can finally get some more of our own tattoo done] Lola: [good incentive not to drop this dog or shriek in her ears gal, 'cos gonna be so OTT about this pain obvs, all of this painting a picture as why your butch tatted gf did not wanna be here, just 🥺🥺🥺 at Astrid 'does it hurt you?' 'cos gf popping off like it doesn't which is a lie like when people say childbirth doesn't like admit it even if you can hack it] Astrid: ['not as much as other things' because we matter of fact about it instead of being like her girlfriend and pretending nothing is happening here] Lola: [we aren't really listening anyway just talking to talk here 'beauty is pain'] Astrid: [just repeating that like hmmm idk ' you're saying you feel more beautiful now, they'll want to put that on the signs outside'] Lola: ['They've got better promo' and giving Astrid's tattooist a look, 'cos the insecurity jumped out when pain] Astrid: [just going off about how much you like it here and you've told everyone about it like lol peeps have said they should pay me] Lola: ['yours are so cool' and asking her why she got that one and when etc etc] Astrid: [telling her everything even if like some of this shit is personal like tell me those roses aren't because of Ro you can't] Lola: [when you're an oversharer so you are 1. not phased by this 2. can say how this is for your abuela who's dying] Astrid: [genuinely is upset about this and asking loads of questions about her like obvs how old is she but also about her as a person and what she likes and how she was living before this] Lola: [we was already crying from the pain so you know, just carry on lmao, telling her that you live with her, that she's your only family and she's a bomb cook and she loves you even though you're gay and you go to bingo together on Thursdays] Astrid: [when you're just like are you gonna live with your girlfriend and cook together and go to bingo with her] Lola: ['I don't know' big sigh 'Do you live with your dad?'] Astrid: [hardcore like BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO because we're so upset about this like we can't answer your question until we get one that's okay here] Lola: [reaching over like hey it's okay 'I'll work it out'] Astrid: [just like oh yeah I do live with my dad btw after ages has passed and she's probably forgot she even asked but we needed a sec there] Lola: ['what's he like?'] Astrid: ['he's weird but not like I'm weird, just not how everyone says a dad should be-' trying to find a way to word wtf Drew is like lol 'he doesn't like rules or keeping things clean oh and he's a really shit driver who plays music too loud and he dresses too young'] Lola: ['sounds like every dude I've ever met' lols, wiping her tears 'has he always been like that or is it a midlife crisis moment?'] Astrid: [lols too because oh Drew you hot mess 'he fell out of his pram and wasn't claimed for 7 days'] Lola: [nods solemnly 'mine too'] Astrid: ['but he makes sure my food doesn't touch and never makes me eat anything I know will be fucking gross and he took me to go get Winnie' like but I do love him] Lola: [gives Winnie love and smiles 'not all bad then' pauses 'mine used to take me to ballet, and never get bored of me showing him my routines'] Astrid: [just going off about this Barbie ballet movie called Barbie and the pink shoes like have you seen it because I figure why not have dolls as a special interest, thanks Ro, though she'd fuck with Bratz and Monster High more] Lola: [talking about the red shoes 'cos assumedly what it is based on and saying you'll look up the Barbie version online 'when Ren is at work'] Astrid: [just chatting about it to the point that she doesn't even need to see it cos you've told her everything but letting her know that Barbie isn't your fave and making sure she knows what you fuck with more like this is vital info okay] Lola: ['Like Yasmin is technically the Hispanic queen like me but I do be looking more Jade and she fucks with cats so ME' 'cos definitely a girl who was into dolls and the bratz are making a resurgence in the culture anyway huns] Astrid: [we're living a life where we only accept the OG's so of course she gotta be that blonde hun who is described as wide-eyed and bubbly and loves her friends more than anything in the world so pop off but we not fucking with soccer and we gotta let Lola know] Lola: ['I see it' like just being like you're an angel there nbd] Astrid: [being like I do support cheese pizza ONLY but thai curry wtf] Lola: [loling like 'food isn't food unless it has at least two carbs and all the cheese you can throw at it'] Astrid: [just listing off everything Jade likes in the known world like do you like these things or no] Lola: [replying like this is a vogue 73 questions I bet tattoo dude is delighted lol] Astrid: [we're having fun here sir excuse you] Lola: ['do you have a Jade in your group already?'] Astrid: [The calming force that she is, Winnie is the group's Yasmin, she can handle a sob story, as you've seen so that's wrong' looks at her like soz gal I know you're offended 'my other best friend is most like Sasha, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that when she isn't black though'] Lola: [looks around at how white everyone here deffo is like I won't tell on you, claps her hands like yay 'we can be friends then'] Astrid: [when you're clearly buzzing about this, giving her your phone like this is my number take it thank you] Lola: [saves it as angel, oh that won't cause any drama with your gf no no lol, taking the tattoo dudes biro or whatever and being like hold out your hand? but thankfully NOT just doing it 'cos she may not vibe gal] Astrid: [at first is like ?? because hasn't connected the dots of what she wants her to do and why but then is like oh okay and does] Lola: [being like to the tattoo lady 'now make it permanent' loling like hohoho] Astrid: [loling 'when I know you better' like we considering this] Lola: [so flattered like omg me and blowing kisses] Astrid: [gotta get some more water cos we recognising that we're getting a bit too buzzing rn so obvs asking her if she wants some] Lola: [just like lifesaver 'cos we been crying so hard over here lol] Astrid: [gotta get some for Winnie too even if she don't want because that's a routine hun] Lola: [live your best life babe you deserve it] Astrid: [let's say her tattoo is then finally done and she abruptly leaves like it was nice to meet you I gotta go now bye because it kills me how they all did that on that show every time] Lola: [the only time you've been shooketh 'cos you'd be a hang around saying bye for ages bitch] Lola: WHERE DID YOU GO?!

When was the last time you did something for the first time? >> I bought something on credit for the first time last week. It wasn’t my credit, lmao (I have none), but still.
Which do you prefer: Valentine's Day or Easter? >> I’m not too interested in either. But both have the potential for fun plushies to buy, so there’s that.
Do you wait until the last minute to decorate, or do you decorate early? >> I don’t decorate for either of those holidays, if that’s what we’re still talking about.
What color bottoms are you wearing right now? >> Black.
Do you love life?! >> The punctuation choice gives this question an interesting flavour, lmao. I mean, I don’t necessarily love life or hate life. It’s kind of just... a default state, I don’t have any special feelings about it unless I’m depressed or something. It’s not like I know what the alternative is like, or have anything to compare life to.
What's your favorite Starbucks drink? >> I don’t drink anything from Starbucks if I can help it.
What were you wearing in the last good selfie you took? >> ---
What's on your wish list right now? >> My wish list is pretty clear now, thankfully. I wouldn’t say no to a new computer chair, though. Or a new dresser, now that that’s the only thing in my room that doesn’t match.
What do you use to sweeten your tea? >> Honey, if anything.
Which dollar store do you like best? >> ---
Have you ever owned an expensive eyeshadow palette? >> Nope. Well, actually, Sparrow bought me one that I don’t know the price of, so maybe it was an expensive one.
What's one challenge you want to complete for youtube? >> ---
If you make youtube videos, do you have a posting schedule? >> I don’t make youtube videos.
When was the last time you stepped outside of your comfort zone? >> There’s been no way to do that lately -- my comfort zone is the solitude of my room, and we’re under physical distancing rules...
How would you rate your self-esteem? low, healthy, or high? >> My overall conception of myself is probably always going to be skewed, because I got them Issues(tm). But I am trying to be more compassionate and less persecutory towards myself.
Do you own a tripod for your camera? >> I don’t own a camera, period.
Would you rather go to London, Paris, or Tokyo? >> I don’t know. I guess any of them would be fine.
Were you a bigger fan of Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff? >> ---
Which Olsen twin was your favorite: Mary-Kate or Ashley, and why? >> ---
Do you make Halloween costumes out of clothes from your closet? >> I’ve never made a Halloween costume.
Do you enjoy putting outfits together? >> That’s not something I really do, all my clothes are kind of just... variations on the same theme. There’s nothing to really “put together”.
Would you rather it rain or snow? >> Rain, please.
What does your umbrella look like? >> We have several umbrellas in this apartment, but the one I use most is a big black-and-red one.
What color are your nails painted? >> They’re not.
Are your nails always painted? >> Obviously not.
What's one thing you've had a toxic reaction to? >> I don’t know what a toxic reaction is.
Do you wear headbands? >> No.
Do you own a boho bandeau? >> No.
Which do you prefer: cropped tops or tunic tops? >> Tunic tops, I guess, just by virtue of the fact that I would not wear a crop top.

Which youtuber do you want to be more like? >> I don’t want to be like a youtuber.

Were there any subjects that you got a perfect SAT score in? If so, what? >> ---
What's the best coffee shop in your town, in your opinion? >> I have no idea.
Are you happy today? If so, what made you happy today? >> I’m not sad or angry or anxious or irritable, but I’m also not particularly joyful, so... you know. Neutral is my baseline state.
When was the last time you woke up to a beautiful sunrise? >> I don’t remember, especially considering I can’t see the sunrise from my room.
Is your bed right by a window? >> Yeah, the foot of it is.
Do you spent more time in your bedroom or your living room? >> Bedroom. I really only spend time in the living room when I’m gaming or watching Sparrow game (or watching a video or movie or whatever with her).
Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? >> I don’t really enjoy decorating for holidays, although I enjoy the decorations themselves. It’s just a tedious process to me.
Do you decorate for holidays? >> Nah, Sparrow does it. She seems to actually enjoy it.
What craft project do you want to do next? >> ---

What's your favorite thing about yourself? >> I don’t have a favourite thing about myself.
Have you ever celebrated Valentine's Day when you were single? >> I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day regardless. I just don’t mind using V-Day events as excuses to go out and do stuff, or taking advantage of the many plushies for sale.
What's your dream date? >> ---
If you were dating a guy right now, where would you want him to take you? >> ---
Is there a guy you regret letting slip away? >> No.

Do you like your name how it's spelled? >> Yes.
Would you change your name if given the chance? >> I already did...
Did you ever want to be famous? >> Not in any serious capacity. I’ve daydreamed about being in rock bands when I was a teenager, but that wasn’t like... serious.
Would you ever want to be famous now? >> Fuck no.
Who are the cutest babies you see on facebook? >> ---
What would your name had been if you were born the opposite gender? >> This question assumes a lot of things, like the idea that one’s parent(s) or guardian(s) had pre-chosen a name for each sex, and that they’d made you aware of the other choice after you were born.
If you had a twin of the same gender, what would his/her name be? >> This assumes even more.

How old does that make you? >> 32, for a few more days.

STANDSTILL [Freak Week: DAY 3]
Tumblr media
Shawn was a happy man. He’d successfully survived his 30′s, had a stable income, and a large, happy family. However, one day, he noticed something slightly out of place that would change his life forever.
— A/N: Here’s another sad one lol!! I wish I could say this is the last imagine with this concept im gonna write (this is #3 lol) but i can’t promise anything. This imagine is based on a TRUE STORY(!) called Awoken By a Lamp, and it breaks my heart every time I read it, so naturally, I had to write about it. I hope you’re enjoying Freak Week thus far!
— WORDS: 3.1k
— WARNINGS: Angst, cursing.
-
For once, all was still in the Mendes household.
The chirping of crickets and the rustling of sheets was all to be heard, everyone fast asleep. Shawn's arm subconsciously dragged his wife closer to his body as they slept and she responded, pushing herself further back into his embrace.
Nights like these were the parents' favorites as they were hard to come by what with their two children, but they didn't happen often, and when they did, they were almost always short-lived.
That night was no different.
"Daddy?"
Shawn's eyes instinctively shot open at the sound of his three year old's voice at the side of the bed, his body forcing itself to sit up despite his exhaustion. He rubbed his eyes at peered down at the little girl who was hugging herself through her t-shirt, her big eyes staring up at him.
"Yeah, Mia? What is it?" He grumbled lowly, his words coming out meaner than he wanted them to. He compensated for this by leaning down and scooping Mia up into his arms, holding her tightly against him.
"Liam keeps making noises, I can hear them. I can't sleep." She mumbled tiredly, her pout far too cute to ignore.
Shawn sighed heavily, looking back at Y/N who was still fast asleep. He allowed himself to grin the tiniest bit at this fact and cleared his throat, standing up from the bed and propping Mia up onto his hip.
"Alright, let's go, kid." He whispered, taking quiet steps out of the room and down the hall to Mia's, which was adjacent to Liam's. Shawn set Mia down on her big girl bed as she liked to call it, pulled the covers over her body, and leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead.
"I'll take care of Liam." He promised, granting Mia a warm smile. "Sleep tight, hun, you have school tomorrow."
Mia responded in her normal soft-spoken manner with a small "Okay", smiling as she flipped over in her bed to face the wall. Shawn then stood and walked out of the room, taking one last look at her before partially shutting her door. Then, he was off to his son's room.
The door was wide open and as soon as he entered he could see the little boy sitting in the corner of his crib, hand in his mouth as he babbled nonsense. Liam's eyes were automatically drawn to Shawn as he approached, his big arms reaching towards the boy and pulling him out.
"Oookay, so why are you awake, little man?" Shawn grumbled, taking a seat on the armchair in the corner of the room. And as he looked down at his one-year-old for the millionth time, his heart burst with love just as it always did. He loved his daughter just the same, but with Liam, there was a certain special bond there that he felt every time he held him. Of course, Mia was more of a momma's girl.
Liam only knew a few simple words at this point, so naturally, he said nothing; just continued to make random, pointless noises that somehow resonated deeply within Shawn. He bit his lip as he continued to stare at his son, his look of concern dissipating into that of a grin.
"You just wanted to get my attention, huh?" Shawn teased, slender fingers going to tickle Liam's stomach. The small boy erupted in a fit of giggles, eventually getting to be too loud, so Shawn held a finger to his lips, making that shushing noise Liam always seemed to be fascinated by. "Shh, you don't want to wake up mommy, do you?"
As if the boy actually understood Shawn he stopped making noise, settling for a measly yawn that shook his entire body. Shawn laughed at this and rolled his eyes- Kids are always tired but never want to sleep, he thought, standing and going to set Liam back in the crib.
"Go to sleep, for me, alright?" Shawn uttered, rubbing Liam's belly gently. And just as his father had instructed, Liam's eyes closed slowly despite his efforts to keep them awake.
Shawn released a breath of relief knowing that, once again, all was still in the Mendes household; he just hoped it would stay that way through the night.
He flopped down into his own bed and returned to his former position, draping his arm over his wife and pulling her flush against himself once more, knowing that in the morning, everything would be just as hectic as usual.
-
"Shawn, where's Mia's book bag?" Y/N asked, making quick work of throwing the girl's lunch together. Shawn's eyes went wide and he paused, toothbrush sticking out of his mouth as he went searching around the house for the Bratz bag that he was swore he saw in the living room. Liam sat in his high-chair, laughing at the scene of his dad running like a madman.
Eventually the bag was found underneath Mia's bed and Shawn rushed back out to the living room where he found the door wide open, Y/N helping Mia into her car seat in the driveway. He rushed forwards and once Y/N was sure she was strapped in Shawn placed the bag into Mia's lap, leaning down to place a kiss to her forehead.
"Have a great day at school, honey, I love you."
"I love you tew!" Mia geeked, her legs swinging back and forth excitedly, ready to get back to her pre-school friends.
Y/N shut the backseat door and walked up to Shawn, placing her hands on his shoulders and leaning up to give him a peck on his lips, "I'll see you later, babe. I'm going to the store later, you need anything?"
Shawn hummed to say no, bringing a hand down to her butt to give it a gentle squeeze. Y/N rolled her eyes and gave him one last peck before jumping into the driver's seat, waving as she pulled off.
Then, it was just Shawn and Liam.
First thing on the long to-do list was to let Liam out of his high-chair and keep him entertained whilst he cleaned the house. Shawn did just that, putting on some stupid kids' show and setting Liam down in his playpen while he ran to the closet to grab the vacuum cleaner.
Liam stayed unbothered whilst Shawn vacuumed the entire downstairs area, only getting fussy when Shawn reached the living room, the loud noise distracting him from the show.
"I know, I know, bud." Shawn sighed, wrapping his hand around the cord and continuing to run the machine over the hardwood floors. "Just a little bit more, and I'll be done."
He was done within the next five minutes which Liam was surely happy about, eyes trained on the screen once again. Shawn chuckled and returned the vacuum to the closet, grabbing the duster next. Naturally, he began to wipe down every surface, carefully stepping around the playpen when he dusted off the T.V. stand and came to the table in the corner of the room.
He raised his arm to dust, but something caught his attention.
The lamp.
Something was off about the lamp, and he couldn't put his finger on it. It was in 3D, of course, yet if he were to turn his head a certain way, it seemed to stretch. He raised his arm again to dust the object and did so with ease, but something about the lamp captivated him; fascinated him.
He wasn't sure why, but his body ran on auto-pilot, sitting his body down on the couch as his eyes stayed glued to the lamp. The obnoxious noise coming from the T.V. show drowned out, replaced by pure white noise.
This went on for what Shawn presumed to be a few more minutes before Y/N was making her way through the door again, struggling to hold all of the groceries she'd brought in. She set them all on the kitchen island and walked into the living room, anger evident on her face.
"Shawn, what the hell are you doing?" She barked, leaning down to grab Liam whose face was streaked with tears. Her voice seemed to galvanize Shawn and he snapped his eyes upwards, realization overcoming him as she continued, "I called you like ten times, I had to carry everything myself."
"I-I'm sorry, I just.. Spaced out." He shook his head, glancing back at the lamp. However, when he heard Mia's boisterous voice coming down the hallway, the confusion began to settle in. "Wait, what time is it?"
"It's 3:30?" Y/N gave him an odd look from the kitchen, laying some animal crackers down on the high-chair tray for Liam. "Dinner will be ready soon; Oh, can you set the table, please?"
3:30? Shawn pondered to himself, eyebrows furrowing ever so deeply, it was 10:00 in the morning when I'd started looking, there's no way I've been staring at it for so long. Right?
"Y-Yeah." Shawn agreed, rubbing the back of his neck and going to get the plates and utensils. "Sure."
-
As the family sat at the dinner table and Mia went on about her day at pre-school, Shawn's focus was elsewhere. Thanks to the open floor plan, he had a front row seat to the living room; more over, that damn lamp.
It still fascinated him for reasons he couldn't explain. Something wasn't right with it, and Y/N definitely noticed his strange staring, but she let it go, not willing to cause a scene at the table in front of the kids.
At night when it was time to wrap up, Y/N did all of the heavy-lifting of getting the kids to bed while Shawn slumped into the couch once again, nibbling on his nail as he tried over and over again to figure out why the object looked so strange. His hand came up to scratch at the balding spot on top of his head, unmoving when he heard Y/N's footsteps getting closer, concern evident in her quietness.
"Shawn." She simply stated, "Why are you acting so weird today? You need to come to bed, baby."
"I will." Shawn replied, nodding slowly, not even bothering to take his gaze off the lamp to look at his wife. "I will, I just need some time to myself right now. Have a good night sleep."
"Hard to do that when you're not next to me."
Shawn said nothing to this, making Y/N huff angrily and stomp off. She'd had enough of his strange behavior and this was clear as she slammed her door, not loud enough to wake the kids, but certainly loud enough for Shawn to get the message.
The lamp was intoxicating; Addicting, even. Every time he found himself studying the strange shape, he memorized its ridges and curves and tiniest details.
God, what was wrong with it?
In the morning, Y/N found Shawn right where she'd left him. His eyes hosted dark circles underneath and his fingers twitched in agony, his body fighting to keep his eyes open. She huffed out, and now, there was no denying that there was something seriously wrong.
She'd called his name, she tapped him, she'd even resorted to slapping him, but not once did he remove his eyes from the lamp. Not once did he speak, and not once did he so much as blink.
And the next morning, when she was sure that there was no helping Shawn despite all of her efforts, Y/N piled her kids into the truck and brought them to their grandparent's home.
Even through all of this, Shawn didn't move. For once, during the daytime, the house was completely silent and lifeless, the only sound to be heard being his shallow breathing.
The lamp.
The lamp.
The lamp.
And suddenly, finally, it clicked.
The lamp wasn't real. None of it was real.
At this epiphany, the lamp began to shift even more. It seemed to grow, expanding until it took up Shawn's entire vision, and then, everything went red.
He couldn't see, but he could hear, and the sounds of shouting all around him scared him to no end. The voices sounded panicked and he could feel hands encompassing his very being, grabbing at him from every angle. He couldn't move, couldn't make out anything, stuck in the weird state of wherever this was.
And, when his vision returned to normal, he was hit with an immense amount of pain shooting through his entire body. People were crowded around him, concern evident on everyone's faces as they helped Shawn sit up, the boy only then noticing the amount of blood gushing from somewhere on his face.
It covered his clothes and his skin and the hot pavement below him as he looked around at the street he was suddenly next to, seeing a large, buff man being pulled away by police. Before Shawn even had the chance to ask what was happening, he was being grabbed at again and put onto a stretcher, the pounding in his head only growing by the second.
Eventually, he gave up trying to make sense of everything, eyes falling shut as the emotions overwhelmed him, his body falling limp, mind going blank, and vision going dark.
-
The ticking of the metronome on the coffee table caught Shawn's attention, his eyes following the pendulum as it rocked side to side in a calming manner. His limbs relaxed and he found it easier to breathe along with the constant sound, allowing his eyes to rest for a few seconds before his name was being called.
"Shawn?" The woman across from him asked gently so as not to frighten him, leaning backwards in her seat and getting her clipboard ready. "How are you feeling today?"
The man bit his lip and laughed bitterly at the question. "What do you think?"
She was tempted to reply but could tell there was something at the tip of his tongue, so she remained silent, allowing him to speak when ready.
"I um.. I saw Liam last night." Shawn sniffed, looking up at the ceiling and stifling his incoming tears. "I was watching T.V., and I saw him in his little playpen out of the corner of my eye. When I looked, he was gone, and I just.. Broke down. I know it's stupid, I know none of it was real, but.."
"It's not stupid, Shawn." His therapist assured him, leaning forward and giving him a stern yet strangely comforting glare. "You lived out an entirely different life for 10 years in your mind in a matter of seconds; Surely that has to be overwhelming. You're grieving the loss of your family, and nobody understands this, because nobody knew them like you did."
Shawn gulped down the lump in his throat, and even after nearly a year now of hearing practically the same thing every session, he was always surprised by her ability to understand him. He nodded slowly and brought his eyes back down to meet her gaze as he spoke softly, "Sometimes I wish the asshole that knocked me out would have just finished me off."
"Why is that?"
Shawn became tight-lipped and his fingers began to tap relentlessly against the leather chair's arms; an action that'd become his new coping mechanism. "Because then, I wouldn't have to go through all of this. If he just killed me then and there, I wouldn't always be thinking about some family who never even fucking existed. 10 years, 10 fucking years-”
He choked on his words, letting out a sort of grunt and shutting his eyes tightly. Even after so much time had passed, he still found it hard to admit these things to himself. He suffered grief like none other all because of an asshole on the street and a nearly fatal head injury, and he would never forgive the man that had done this to him.
"..You always mention that you see your son sometimes." The woman asked, her own nose beginning to sting with the promise of tears. "Do you ever see your wife? Your daughter?"
Shawn wiped his face free of tears and shook his head sadly, now staring down at his lap. "No, I don't. Sometimes before I go to sleep I pray that I'll get to see them again in my dreams, just one last time. Just to see Y/N laugh again, or to spoon her while we sleep, or to even hear her complain about the smallest things again. And I want to help Mia get ready for school again, even though I almost always messed something up. My girls."
The room was silent for a long while before a ringing echoed throughout it, signifying the end of the session. At that, Shawn made it appoint to grab a handful of tissues and attempted to make himself look presentable once more, wiping himself down and tossing the remnants of his breakdown into the bin next to the door.
Before he could walk out without saying anything further, his therapist's voice caused him to still, hand on the knob as he listened intently.
"Shawn?" She muttered, giving him a curt nod. "I'm proud of you. You're making great progress."
Shawn only sniffed and gave her a small grin, not truly absorbing the words before he walked out of the office and out of the building.
He finally felt as if he could breathe again, the fresh air hitting his lungs and calming him down. Out of all of the sessions he'd had over the last months, this one proved to be one of the most difficult.
He ducked into his car and tapped his steering wheel, sucking on his teeth before letting down the sun visor down and looking at himself in the mirror.
Along the right side of his head was the scar that had started it all and that would follow him for the rest of his life. He frowned at this but chose to let go just this once, examining the rest of his features.
No matter how many times he looked at himself like this, it was always weird seeing himself so young again. He was used to seeing his nearly 40-year-old face dead tired with the wrinkles settled deeply into his skin, but 20 year old Shawn could still pass for a teenager.
This made him chuckle to himself. I'm so stupid, he thought for no reason in particular, letting up the visor and sticking his key into the ignition. The car revved for a few seconds before starting up and he sighed deeply, nibbling on his bottom lip.
On days like this, he didn't want to be bothered with anyone or anything, but he knew that he had to get out of the depression he'd been in for so long. And if there was one thing that kept him going, it was this:
His family would want him to rebuild his life. They would want him to live again, to be happy, so he would. Eventually.
This was all the fuel he needed to move his hand to the gear shift, taking one last glance at the therapist office.
Until next time, he thought, pulling away from the building and riding off.
-
A/N: So as I mentioned before, this is a true story, and I encourage you to look into it if it interested you. The story is called Awoken by a lamp, and this is something that people actually experience wherein if someone experiences a life-threatening situation, their brain might go into “override mode” for lack of better wording, and create something entirely new. It’s very interesting but this story was always so sad to me so. I hope you enjoyed. Much love <3

31 Day Character Development Writing Challenge
(days 11- 31)
DAY 11: When does your celebrity feel their best? Are they the type that does best with time off, hanging out at home with the family or the dog on the couch, or do they find themselves feeling the most at ease while working?
She feels her best when enjoying some time off to work on herself. This is typically during hiatus for her, where she can start off her day feeling like a badass post workout, hang at the beach with her girls, then be lazy for the rest of the day on the couch with Kleo and a bag of chips. Everybody needs time to just chill out, and it’s a time for her to be her best self that doesn’t involve waking up at 5am for hair and makeup as most other times in her life. 
DAY 12: Why did your celebrity choose the house that they’re currently living in? Was there something that drew them to the space, or a price point that it fell under, or some special reason that they decided to take the plunge?
Janel loves any excuse to be near the water, so settling over in the Retreats was a natural choice especially in comparison to the home she was just moving out of blocks from the beach. She’s used to a smaller, simpler living. It was a perfect compromise considering other options she’d seen in town. 
DAY 13: Describe the contents of your celebrity’s night stand. Is it full of naughty secrets? Do they keep precious family mementos? What about the surface, do they have things thrown about, is it organized?
Her night stand is fairly organized, though she does tend to collect things like water bottles on top. Inside of the drawer is mostly miscellaneous things like packs of tissues and a handy bottle of painkillers. Books occasionally make their way on and off of the table, as now most reading she does isn’t from from a physical book. Always found are always pens, pencils, and highlighters as well as she tends to read her scripts while in bed. Anything else, might need to be cleaned out but it isn’t messy by any means. 
DAY 14: Winter can be a bit dark and bleak, and sometimes that leads to down days. How does your celebrity handle those? Is there someone they talk to, something they do to feel better, or do they end up keeping it to themselves and dwelling?
Janel talks to her mom and sister every day, even if for just a few minutes. If she needs to talk to anyone, they are her go-to. However, as someone who is prone to feeling everything hard, if she can’t talk things out with family she immediately turns to locking herself in her music room to write. Writing and the occasional composition is her personal form of therapy. If she didn’t write, she’d end up keeping it in until she blew up, so in order to avoid that music and wine is her go-to to feeling better. Maybe even a good cry. 
DAY 15: What kind of lover is your celebrity? Are they the sweet, giving kind or more in it for themselves; openly affectionate in public or more reserved?
Janel falls fast and loves hard. She’s always one to sacrifice for love, or what she thinks is love, even work. Her priority is typically her man, though at the end of the day even without her realizing it, her relationships often suffer because she has difficulty waiting to jump into the next. Affectionate does not begin to describe her. She wants everyone to know who her boo is, constantly posting pictures, without any ability to keep her hands.. or mouth to herself. She is always one to start throwing around “I love you” quicker than most would think appropriate but at the end of the day, she can’t help it when she feels she’s in love. 
DAY 16: The world stops on a certain day of the year, and stays that way forever – what day would your celebrity choose to stop the clocks on? (Month and day.)
Any of the last few times she’d been reunited with her entire family, particularly her grandparents. Since her grandfather’s alzheimers diagnosis, it’s been tough on the family not being able to get together often to see him. So, maybe her sister’s wedding being the last time everyone was together. 
DAY 17: How does your celebrity handle being sick or hurt? Are they the type of person to obey the doctor’s orders and stay in bed? Or are they the kind that’s up and doing things far before they should?
Being sick and being injured are two completely different stories for Janel. If she is sick, she will refuse to see a doctor and revert back to being a needy child. Sick days require home remedies, soup, and cuddling with either another human or Kleo or her stuffed bear. Maybe even all three. Being injured however, she’ll keep quiet for as long as possible. With a pretty high pain tolerence, it takes quite a lot of pain for her to cry. If she’s in enough pain to shed tears, she knows it’s serious enough to get professionally checked out. And although she does her best to follow doctors orders, she may decide to ignore them if they interfere with work. 
DAY 18: Pick three things that your celebrity owns or possesses that are important to them, and explain why they care about them so much. Please exclude animals or people!
Her final wrap gifts from Liars, the ring and jacket, in remembrance of a chapter as a family for the group who survived seven years together creating something they’re truly proud of. She also has priceless jewelry given to her by her grandmother back home which is important for that very reason. 
DAY 19: Does your celebrity have a lot of friends, or do they tend to rely on a smaller group of friends?
Janel truthfully has a small circle that are her true friends, but often times calls acquaintances her friends, and her friends her best friends. She has a specific handful who have stuck with her through thick and thin who were truly her best friends and those she has made more recently who are on their way to join that position in her life.  
DAY 20: What’s your celebrity’s relationship history like? A lot of hook-ups, many long-term relationships? Have they ever gotten very serious with someone before?
Back to back long term relationships over the past decade, with the occasional fling in between. She is a serial monogamist who does not know how to be single for very long. Most of these men are people she has worked with, at one time or another. However, her two most publicly speculated relationships are both unconfirmed flings that she refuses to speak on as they occurred back to back and interfered with her job. Of all of these relationships, only one has ended close to marriage. 
DAY 21: Travel time! Where in the world would your celebrity like to go if they were given the opportunity to take an all-expenses paid trip to anywhere in the entire world? The catch is… it’s a solo trip that they’re taking alone.
Anywhere where she can drink from sun up to sun down while lying out on the beach. It might be nice to visit Turks and Caicos again, as last time she took her sister she had purely jumped at the opportunity as a means to get the hell out of LA and away from the drama overwhelming her life at the time. So, it would be nice to return to what was one of her favorite vacation spots, without having to feel doomed about returning home. 
DAY 22: Whether they’re into acting, music, a sport… what has been the project that your celebrity is the most proud of?
Her two biggest projects thus far. Liars established her career as a real actress and taught her about the business. It’s given her career the opportunity to expand in ways she never even considered, all stemming from the show. Luckily, the spin off gives her a chance to continue that journey and testing her limits in acting. Of everything else she’s done over the years, Dancing had the most impact on her personally. The journey challenged her not only physically but emotionally and mentally to a degree she never expected, and it was all worth it for the experience in the end. She grew up a lot in the aftermath as well. Both shows shaped an extensive part of her life from which she grew up, and looking back, is the proudest accomplishments of her career. 
DAY 23: And on the opposite side of the spectrum, is there a project that your celebrity has worked on that they absolutely regret, for one reason or another?
She doesn’t regret any projects because they have all taught her about life and led her to where she is now. But let’s be real, Bratz is a little embarrassing to watch back. It was her first major film, and it bombed, and watching back is cringe-worthy. However, it gave her her best friends to this day and taught her lessons she needed before reaching the level she would a few short years later. 
DAY 24: How does your celebrity handle the holiday season? Are they the kind that’s very excited and upbeat? Do they tend to get somber around the holidays? Are they religious at all, or more in it for the traditions they create on their own?
Christmas is her favorite time of year. Christmas music makes her happy to the point she’ll be told to shut up several times throughout the month. The holidays always come up far to quick, in her opinion, and leave even quicker. She didn’t grow up particularly religious but her family does celebrate Christmas with early morning presents and brunch. Typically, because her extended family is so far away, it’s a quiet and comfortable day spent relaxing and enjoying family time. 
DAY 25: What is your celebrity’s Christmas (or other/no holiday, if they don’t celebrate) routine like? Do they travel out of town, have family over? Wake up early, or take advantage of the holiday and sleep in? What do they do with the day? How has it changed since they were younger and at home?
Most years, her sister flies in and they both spend it with their parents and dogs. By that point, Janel has typically moved back in with her parents for a few days already, staying with them upwards of a week beforehand and a few days after. Christmas day is typically an early morning, breakfast mimosas and presents type of deal. A games of Chinese checkers while laying on the living room floor leads to Janel’s solo tradition of watching RENT or the Sound of Music or any other musical she’s deemed Christmas appropriate while her folks rest. The day is just to relax and enjoy family time, typically ending with some wine and a book in hand to end the night. Back in Hawai'i, it would be a day spent at grandmas with the whole family and Janel was the one singing for the family after presents. Since moving to LA, it’s been her and her parents and sister. That list now includes her brother in law and the family dogs.   
DAY 26: When the holidays end, is your celebrity the type that wants to undecorate and move on immediately to get back to normal, or do they keep things up and keep the spirit going longer?
Janel is lazy and will keep things up until her mom comes over to help take everything down. She loves Christmas and wishes it lasted longer, so as long as the decor is socially acceptable is good with her. New Years is often time the cut off for her to bring everything down.  
DAY 27: Is your celebrity more of a city-dweller, or a farm person? Do you think that where they grew up had a big impact on that? And how do they do when they’re living in the opposite situation?
She refuses to live downtown, the suburbs are more her scene. Growing up in Honolulu, she enjoyed her time when the family lived a ways away toward the mountains and spent her days on the beach. The house she owns in LA is a relatively small home in quiet neighborhood in North Hollywood. She was previously living in Long Beach, blocks away from a small beach. Now she’s out by the water yet again in town. If she were to go back to living in a place like DTLA she would probably rip her hair out, it’s too much. Living out far in farm country also may not work, she relies too much on food delivery.
DAY 28: Growing up, was there one person that your celebrity looked up to more than any other, whether it be family, friend, or just someone else in their life? How do they feel about that person today?
Her mom, older sister, actresses like Lucy Liu and Ming Na Wen or Lea Salonga, and as she got older her cousin actress Kelly Hu when she began making it big. Each woman had a big impact on her life in different ways, mostly teaching her to believe in herself and that she was capable of anything no matter who she was, where she came from, or how she looked.
DAY 29: Imagine if your celebrity had never come to Bayview… where would they be right this moment? Who would they be with, and what would they be doing?
She would still be in Toronto working, but in her previous relationship heading for the alter. Without Bayview, she’d be caught up in work to distract from everything else happening in life, and balancing that with wedding planning instead and in need of some time off. However, work prospects would still be the same, as she signed on for them over a year ago. 
DAY 30: It’s the year 2022, and your celebrity is still living in Bayview. Describe what you think their life is going to be like in five years; are they still in the same house, doing the same work? With the same person and social circle? Or has their life changed astronomically? Do you think the reality of where they are is where they would have wanted to be back in 2017?
Probably in a bigger place in the suburbs, married, maybe have a kid but she’s still got plenty of time. All her time is spent between town and on location filming, her music career has also taken off. The same consistent people around her keeping her grounded. It’s a good life. Life has started to fall together, so the next five years are expected to continue the trend. 
DAY 31: If there was one wish that your celebrity could have come true for the upcoming year, what would it be and why?
To finally settle down and be happy, while work continues to be steady. So in other words, to be living comfortably. Other years have not been so nice. It would also be nice to get a little more credit and recognition for her work, which oftentimes goes unnoticed.

Video Game Review: <Em>dragon Ball Z Budokai 3</Em>
In preparation for the role, however I visit original manga (all of it), in addition, I read Monkey King a little, because Dragonball is influenced by Monkey Cal king. And during the break age of shooting, I got into Goku's character, telling jokes along cast searching of on the market communication can easily be be used in acting. To where possible get into the psyche for the younger generation today, you are displaying to be updated on your lingo. From the being perplexed when my daughter corrected me once i said Dragon Ball Z dokkan battle hack Z was a nice computer animated. "Anime, Mom." she said. Earlier enjoying a I have got to play this game. I'm uncertain if it's purely my much longer experience when using the Wii or what, nevertheless i just stood a much more fun, great deal more accurate time playing this. It's also worth mentioning how the game hardly looks a whole lot better on Xbox 360. She and other players can claim you might be a make-up, styling and make-over design, virtual Bratz or Barbie dolls even more beautiful. The chandelier: Or else you girls peruse many products such as make-up. An entertaining fact about PC dress and make-up games is put on those things turns you and other players, the doll and are conscious of the colors of the well with various skin colors and hair-styles. get here and other players could become it really is guru, if play makeup games cardio. I think everyone discover something in this particular game the player like but Dragon ball android lover will rave over it. It has a very Zelda DS feel into it. You can customize the controls form the stylus on the control pad and buttons to adapt the game to your personal style. DBZ Dream is perfect Dragon Ball Z dokkan battle cheats related Mugen game thus much further. I base this on gameplay on your own. It doesn't have a roster of 50 + fighters, my way through this particular Mugen title is centered around balance. There are a enough flashy attacks and special effects to enchant those preferring style over substance. This is not only evident by correct attitude that MugenTheory's last update in 2007. It's also evident when you download fat loss the few Mugen characters on the internet site. The opening part of the show is centred on Goku, Pan and Trunks. While the additional part deals with the strong characters of one's prequels of TVS-DBZ express to. From the entire original story written by Akira Toriyana this will be the only exception which isn't based in it. The series follows the Z Fighters against far bigger foes for Baby Super 17 and the Shadow Dragon.
