toffee!

hehe glad i could make you laugh, oooh that sounds awesome! yeah id love to be tagged it sounds great :)

YES the differences are so fucking weird. like, they do know they're the same age right? i feel like its just an exagguration of how much the persons role in the group matters, like we see chan being held up as such a mature, old leader while jungkook who is literally the same age, is still babied etc. like enha hyung line is basically the same age (if a bit younger) as chenle and jisung but somehow the rules are different?? as you point out, still legal but still bizarre. hehe yeah, i mean where else are we going to rant? quora lol. mmm, hopefully more people can just write less smut abt people who are barely adults

ah, no prob it didnt take long. yeah i think thats right (i keep forgetting you know my url lol) mmhmm :( i think if that happened irl there would be some major trauma going on. knock wood it never happens to you or me lol (/hj)

hehe same! oooh glad Redemption For Cheese was realised! yess we cant rllycomplain that theyve written/produced too much good music lol. yeah, ive dragged him into being a stay so *dusts hands off* mission accomplished. mmm yeah, they tend to have a certain vibe but tbh it couldve worked if they were any other group but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ahh ur one step ahead of me on the stages of listening to ssick i think, still not convinced but thats okay! hehe, it had to be said. yesss the itch in the back of my brain is very satisfied by sorry i love you, felixs vocals deserve to be appreciated! (side note i feel like hes trying to sing more like his speaking voice, sorta husky, but tbh i wouldnt be mad if he sang like in glow, his sweet honey vocals made my life lol. but i think ive heard him say he doesnt like singing like that cos it makes his normal voice less husky, so what can you do)

> YES SOMEONE SAID IT. seungmin rap KING, he sped thru that rap like it was nothing, he deserves more rap lines. i do like how they gave minho some melodic rap lines this comeback, my guy deserved to show off those skills that made him not be eliminated (flashbacks to stay collectively wanting to murder jyp) and we already know changbin can sing, my man murdered masked singer. hyunjin can obviously sing as can jisung and felix, and i want to hear chan rap more! i feel like he started as part of 3racha (as a rap unit not producing) and then just became a vocalist (which im fine with, but it could be nice to hear him flex his rapping skills) and was partially replaced by hyunjin. anywayyy

back to album talk. lmaooo sad music to twerk to PERFECTLY describes silent cry. yes secret secret is and will always be, a masterpiece. hehe glad i could make you laugh :) i just felt like they have similar vibes. putting off skz stuff bc of not having time to cry IS the kpop stan life summarised. oh my beloved track, red lights. ahh thats okay, we can have different opinions, but by god the lyrics are *chefs kiss*. *banging on table* TWISTED AU TWISTED AU TWISTED AU. yess id love to see ur take on it! sdfghjkl it would have been glorious

no no! not stupid, just able to predict my brainwaves. ooooh thats so cool! makes me want to go there (wherever there is lol) yeah the waves are pretty good here, but none of my familys a surfer, so we dont rlly enjoy the full potential lol. YES moving on to gone away, it is indeed a heartwrenching track, but the vocals and the bloody key change? makes me want to brave being sad just to listen to it. mmm yeah, good point :( i feel like ive just gotten used to overthinking so much so that it doesnt matter what mood im in, ill do it anyway, so might as well just do what i feel like doing anyway.

yeah i think ur right! it is quite comforting knowing that all the tracks will get the love they deserve. i feel like also people assume kpop is just one genre which is utter bs. there are so many different vibes and feels and songs, i couldnt get into kpop (of which i thought only the bright cheerful present day bts stuff existed smh) until i heard gods menu so... idk where i was going with this but yeah. :)

YES FUCK YG, theyre literally on the brink of being kicked out of the big three and they are holding their salvation hostage without letting them do ANYTHING. idek what thought process goes thru their minds but arghhh its so infuriating. yess lisa's cb will be awesome but ot4 is the gold standard here.

hehe, glad u could get to this point. no no! u dont sound like a cult member at all lol yeah, i loooove some of their songs but the whole 23 members thing is getting to me. thats prob a common problem with nctzens but what can i say? im a simple girl with a limit to how many korean boys i can give my money to. atm im just trying to get into ateez and finish memorising enhypen's faces. also kard is kinda sucking me into their fandom atm, as well as eric name lol. ah what can you do? ooh thats good!

hehe i love it too! its exactly like online penpals, that was rlly well put. aww ty! hmm im okay, recovering from a bad case of rsv so thats fun. im doing okay mentally, starting therapy soon (after having to convince my mother that its not just smth i can brush off). physically i wont go into, basically i should be doing stretches to help but they dont completely fix it so my lazy ass doesnt do them, plus i got told recently im going to be stuck with this condition for the rest of my life so thats fun! ah, before you type smth dw abt me ill be fine. the weather atm is cloudy but warm, its been raining on and off today which is good for the garden. uhh i just finished reading sunburnt veils and im in the middle of prom theory which is rlly good. ummm ive got a concert tonight? that i may or may not be able to sing in (bc of the whole rsv thingo) and uhhhh idk. my dog is cute? im drinking tea rn? ive got a school dance coming up?

wbu? hows ur day going, how are you? whats the weather like on ur end? done anything interesting lately? found smth that makes you rlly happy? just any random thing youve been dying to tell someone?

no no! dont apologise, i love these exchanges. i think im happy to continue them for a long time :) on the other hand, if you get tired of them, feel free to just not answer at any time. goodness gracious this was a long ask haha hope it isnt too annoying

<3 w.a. 🐺

sorry it took me a bit to reply, i was fixing my theme ;n;

yeah, i figured it was because of the roles too. my friends and i still get taken aback when 3rd gen idols are the same age as 4th gen ones. in my head it doesn't add up sometimes. PLS THE RANT AT QUORA SKJDK tbh tho it's just going to be normalized as the years pass? esp that the boys are growing older and the amount of explicit fics will just increase. i might have to start blocking tags.

i had to look up the previous ask to remember what we were talking about xd i hope the events in champagne problems never happens to anyone. realistically, it probably happens a lot. damn i really won't wish that pain on anyone. dragging your brother into being a stay i whEEZED JFKSA additional noeasy music enthusiast o.o and ALL I CAN SAY WITH YOU GUSHING ABT FELIX IS AHA WHIPPEEEED OML can't blame you tho, i also want to hear felix sing more in other shades (if that makes sense HAHA) i really hope they'll do the role exchange in the next comeback :( or like in the near future bc i know they can do it :( the day i hear seungmin rapping it i will respectfully pass away. minho was given more lines this comeback thank fUCK i could rmb my irl being vocal abt her frustration. i don't get why minho barely has center time/lines in title tracks??? like the line distribution in the past eras just made me ???? if seventeen can balance lines with 13 members why cant a group of 8 do the same? moving on. i haven't watched the stray kids show simply bc i don't want to cry HAJS but i've seen clips. imagine if skz debuted without minho and felix?!?!? i rmb another irl catching bias feels towards changbin bc of the masked singer only to find out that the man's a rapper. i love how skz's vocals were highlighted this comeback :c there were a lot of mellow tracks! i find it cute when chan sings/raps bc it gets kinda obvious that he's a foreigner? the accent (im not even sure if it's the accent) it just shows. "putting off skz stuff bc of not having time to cry IS the kpop stan life summarised." CORRECT.

abt the twisted au o.O i'll inquire my irl if she wants to write it or not. if she doesn't want to, i'll do it. i miss writing twisted aus <3___<3 and i also miss going to the beach with my friends :' ) but it's starting to get cold here and i don't think i'll be able to enjoy the beach as much as i would if i went beaching in the summer. so maybe next summer? gone away really has an sm-ballad vibe. the thing about skz being a self-producing group, their songs don't sound like typical jype songs? and i just appreciate that bc in all honesty im not a fan of jyp groups at all. PLS the overthinking. i wish i could mute overthinking.

anyone who assumes kpop is just one genre obv hasn't listened to a single track. if kpop was just one genre why do i like some tracks more than the others??? oh you've only recently become a kpop stan? tbh im not a fan of the bright songs of bts either. i liked their older ones *chefs kiss* really matched high school vibes. yg has good artists and they're just wasting the talent ~.~ that strategy they have will get tiring eventually. people will stop waiting on blackpink and move on to newer more active groups ://

HAHAHAH yeah the 23 members is pretty overwhelming! it was the reason i didn't bother stanning before quarantine started. i don't regret stanning tho, met my ult bias in that group <3___<3 i don't really purchase albums unless i like the tracks xd ohhh getting into ateez just in time for the comeback! let me know what you think about them! i was fond of them at some point but grew out of it. good luck with memorizing enhypen! it took me a while to distinguish to people there XD i haven't checked out kard yet but chan plays their songs during lives and they're sexc hype music me likey *u*

i had to look up rsv im sorry. i'm glad you're recovering! please rest more and don't stress yourself out. bro i wish i could go to therapy too bc i have weird issues i can't justify and i need a professional to tell me what's the reason behind it. stuck with what condition btw? what happened? i'm sorry in case i just forgot. yesterday was a bit rainy for me too :(( it's not the type of rainy that makes me anxious so B) oh concert! good luck and i hope you'll be able to sing but i also don't think it's best for you rn :c what's your dog's breed? and yes i just finished drinking tea too. AAAAA i miss school dances :(( the last one i was supposed to have was cancelled bc of covid.

i was less productive today and i'm teetering between being mentally stable and becoming a hermit again. i'm anxious with a lot of things atm so like : D not the best state. today it was a bit sunny but not hot hot which was nice. i changed my theme today bc i couldn't wait for sept. 1st. and no i haven't found anything that makes me happy HAHAHA shit like that's hard to identify. don't have anything to say too, i'm just thinking about why i'm procrastinating too much atm T_T and i'm listening to this rap song atm and one of the rappers sounded like han.

it isn't annoying! i enjoy the long exchanges but i do admit it takes me awhile to type down a reply. so if i get more busy, it'll prolly take a bit longer for me to reply.

First of, thank you so much ! I’m glad that you love Barnalau, and seeing how much you guys love this pairing only motivates me to write more !

As for the prompt, I decided to go with number 12, aka “Where did those bruises come from ?”. Hopefully, you will enjoy it !

Warnings: Angst. Like, a lot. As well as mentions of abuse.

“Where did those bruises come from... ?”

Barnaby’s voice definitely has a worried tone, and that makes Lau immediately want to wince. That was exactly what he didn’t want: for Barnaby to worry over him. He swiftly moves away from his friend, smiling at him... but there is one thing to know about Laurent Dorian King: whenever he smiles, his eyes light up. They look as if they inhabit a thousand tiny fireworks, and it is the most beautiful sight... at least, to Barnaby, and a few students who secretly crush on him. This time, however, those fireworks aren’t present, and Barnaby could immediately figure out that this smile was fake.

“It’s nothing, Barny. Don’t you worry” Lau replied, still smiling. “Let’s say Mr.Whiskers wasn’t really kind to me this morning...”

Barnaby couldn’t help but frown. That... didn’t make any sense. How can a small cat give bruises that big !? They usually scratch people, no ? And Barnaby already saw how Lau’s arms would look like following an attack from that cat... whatever was on his arms right now, wasn’t from Mr.Whiskers. He took a step forward, as if to inspect his friend’s arms... but Lau huffed, moving away once again. Now, he was starting to regret the decision to not wear a thick sweater. Can’t he just walk around in a short sleeved shirt without getting any attention !? Man, they were only three days into the new school year, and Lau was already tired. He bit on his lip, playing with his badly done tie.

“Barnaby” he said in a stern voice. “I’m telling you, I’m fine. Now can you please leave me alone ?”

Ouch. That hurt. Lau could be just like fire sometimes: if you approach it too much, you get burned. Now, Barnaby definitely got burned, and he saw that it was useless to insist. He simply nodded, unsure.

“O... Okay...”

With that, Lau gave Barnaby a curt nod, and walked away. After all, classes were over for the rest of the morning, and the redhead had only one wish: being left alone.

* * *

Thank god, the dorm was empty. Rowan was probably studying, and as for the other Slytherins sharing it... well, they were visibly elsewhere, and that was just fine for Lau. Sighing heavily, he dropped his bag next to his bed, trying to forget his conversation with

( Where did those bruises come from... ? )

Barnaby. It’s not like he can tell him, right ? Lau was well aware that Barnaby had his own problems: abusive parents, downright terrible dad... he didn’t want to add to Barnaby’s list of worries. That was the last thing he wanted, frankly... so he had to deal with this on his own. He stepped in front of the mirror next to Rowan’s bed, and stared at his reflection. Ah, time changes... he can still remember his eleven year old self staring into this exact same mirror, and he recalls how terrified he was. After all, he was a Muggleborn. What if he wasn’t good enough for Hogwarts ? What if Dumbledore kicks him out ?

But despite all of these feelings, a stronger one would dominate them. The most powerful sensation ever.

Excitement.

He was thrilled to be part of Hogwarts, and to soon study about magic. His eyes were basically filled with sparkles.

But now, Lau was seeing in the mirror an entirely different boy. An older, tired boy, who wasn’t sure of what to do anymore. He slowly undid his tie and let it fall to the floor, then unbuttoned his shirt. It slid past his bony shoulders, then he took it off, revealing his body.

Thank god he was too poor to afford clothing his size and had to wear Stefen’s hand me downs. If he were to wear clothes his actual size... Barnaby would have had one more thing to worry about: how terribly skinny he was. Skin sticking to the bone, with little to no muscle, a huge contrast to the healthy young boy he was last year. And the bruises. Oh god, the bruises. They were everywhere.

( you deserve them )

He stared at his reflection, hugging himself, until he couldn’t take it anymore. He picked up his shirt and slid it back on, as well as his tie. He closed his eyes, trying to block all of the memories

( it’s your fault ! your fault ! )

coming back. He slowly headed to his bed. He needed a nap...

* * *

Laurent King never liked following rules.

So of course, he had to break them. As a crescent moon was slowly rising in the sky, the Slytherin quietly made his way out of the Common Room, walking on the tip of his toes. Luckily, he was fairly sneaky, and in only a few minutes he was at the Clocktower Courtyard, sitting on the edge of the fountain and admiring the sky and it’s stars. At least, the stars were here for him... the sky always follows you, no matter what. He closes his eyes as a soft breeze caresses his face, and he feels peaceful for a

( you will never be strong enough )

moment. Suddenly, though, he heard something. Footsteps. And as he turned around he saw none other than Barnaby Lee, in his pyjamas. Grey sweatpants, and a white tank top, showing off his muscly arms... they had their fair share of bruises too, however. Living with Mr.Lee wasn’t easy... Lau felt his chest tighten as he thought of that.

“B-Barnaby ? What are you doing here ?”

“I... I could ask you the same”

He looked wary, as if he was afraid that Lau might push him away like he did this morning... but he didn’t. Instead, he slowly stood up and stepped closer to his friend.

“I... needed fresh air” he confessed.

He was still wearing that shirt from earlier, and his bruised arms were in full display... something that Barnaby hated. If only he could take them away... if only he could have them instead.

“Me too” Barnaby said. “Or well... I was mostly looking for you... I know you often sneak out at night, so I figured...”

Barnaby Lee might forget a lot of things, but he never forgets anything about Laurent. Lau couldn’t hold back a smile. Once again, Barnaby was too caring... and it made his knees weak.

“Sometimes, I wonder what I did for you to be this caring...”

Barnaby could only smile, a blush creeping up his cheeks.

“The only thing you did was being you. That was enough for me”

The words came out without him being really aware of it. Lau couldn’t help but blush, and he found himself extremely grateful that it was dark.

Without a word, Lau took Barnaby’s hand, and he guided him to the fountain. Barnaby could only hear the water gently lap against the edges as Lau removed his shirt, revealing his bruises. All of them.

“I... suppose you deserve to know...” he whispered. “You’re my best friend, after all”

That last sentence left a bitter taste in his mouth.

The air was cold. He hugged himself, trying to get some warmth.

“You know how my mom died from an illness... and how my dad isn’t a fan of how... how I am”

A sweet, nice boy who loves flowers. Barnaby couldn’t do anything but nod, but he feared he already knew where this is going. Lau kept staring at his feet, refusing to meet Barnaby’s worried gaze. Should he even keep going ? For a moment, he hesitated... but he decided to keep talking.

“With Stefen gone, he’s under a lot of pressure, and... and I guess he snapped this summer”

And he explained everything. How his father would blame him for his wife’s death, because as a kid Lau demanded too much attention. How Lau would scream and try to shield himself when his father would try and hit him, how starved he felt when Mr.King refused to serve him meals... and refused to let him cook some. As he talked about it, waves and waves of memories crashed through him, and he felt weak. A tear rolled down his cheek, and he hated it. He hated looking weak.

Basically, Charles King finally had his revenge on his son. Or well, he liked to see it as a revenge.

Laurent didn’t dare to look at Barnaby’s face, but if he did, he would have seen the pure shock and anger on his features. He was enraged, he felt disgusted at the idea that someone did this to his Lau... and he could only find one solution.

Wrap him into the tightest hug he could manage, burying his face in the crook of his neck and gently caressing his back. As this happened, Lau finally decided to cry, and he hugged Barnaby back.

“I was so scared... but I also felt like... I deserved it, you know ?” he whispered, trying to hold back sobs. “I mean, with Stefen gone, I’m the only son he has left... and I wasn’t living up to his expectations, and-”

“No” Barnaby immediately interrupted him.

He pulled away and grabbed Lau’s shoulders gently, making him look at him. For a moment, Lau feared he made a mistake. What if Barnaby reacts too badly ?

“You didn’t deserve that. You didn’t deserve any of this. Your dad... he’s not allowed to do this to you ! He can’t !”

As he spoke, he pulled Lau back into a hug, petting his soft hair.

“You don’t deserve it... you don’t” he whispered. “You’re safe now. You’re in Hogwarts. You’re with me. I’ll protect you”

“I can protect myself” Lau replied.

His voice was sort of muffled, though, since his face was buried in Barnaby’s chest, feeling his heartbeat. The Slytherin smiled. Indeed, Lau can protect himself. He could kick every single Hogwarts student’s ass if he wanted to.

“I know you can, Lau... but let me do it anyway”

Silence.

Then Lau nodded. Barnaby hugged him tighter.

“Now let me bring you back to your dorm”

“Your dorm” Lau suddenly said.

He raised his head, looking at Barnaby. He was now bright red, almost the same colour as his hair.

“I... wanna sleep by your side. Please”

He won’t be able to handle another night alone. He needed Barnaby by his side.

And gently, Barnaby picked him up, carrying him as if he was a princess. Lau didn’t bother to protest, because he actually liked it. He pressed his face in the crook of Barnaby’s neck, smelling his honeysuckle scent... and he let Barnaby carry him.

( I love you )

Neither of them, however, dares to say it.

Dragged Kicking and Screaming ( 21/ 22)

Title: Dragged Kicking and Screaming

Or How Burt Hummel Mashed the Hummels and Hudsons Into One Functioning Family.

Characters(s): Kurt, Burt, Carole, Finn, with short appearances by the New Directions guys and various ops who mostly take up space. Rating: PG13 Summary: Somehow the Hummel household and the Hudson household had to come together…

Chapter One Chapter Two

Chapter three Chapter Four Chapter Five Chapter 6

Chapter seven Chapter 8

Chapter Nine Chapter Ten

Chapter eleven Chapter twelve Chapter thirteen Chapter fourteen

Chapter fifteen Chapter sixteen Chapter seventeen

Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20

21.

Burt leaned back in his chair and watched. Kurt was writing and Burt was sure he’d have everything that was mentioned written down before Finn was back in the conversation. He waited a few minutes, until Kurt had stopped writing and Finn wasn’t looking like he was thinking so hard anymore before continuing on with the family meeting.

“Before we leave holidays behind,” Burt said. “Are there any other big things that are done every year?”

“Like our trip to the Hot Air Balloon Festival?” Kurt asked.

“Yes.” Burt said.

“Well, the last week of July with Aunt Mildred.” Kurt said with a sigh. “On the bright note…two of her boys were supposed to graduate this year…finally. Then there is the Hummel sledding thing that hopefully will be too far away to go to this year.”

“Now Kurt,” Burt said.

“Dad, last year at Aunt Mildred’s Wayne tied me to a tree and threw golf balls at me…which I was somehow supposed to deflect with my mind…because Wally convinced him I had magical powers.”

Finn laughed. “That sounds similar to what Jack and my cousin Amber’s little boy did to Amber’s little girl.”

“And they are how old?” Kurt said.

“I think like five and six? Amber’s kids have that bright red hair…remember? And she has that baby that is freaky because it just stares at you like it is judging you.”

“Ok…Finn, my cousins are all older than me. Granted Trent is just a bit over half a year older, but still. Oh and it is Wayne and Wally who are supposed to graduate this year. Wayne was held back two years and Wally one. Trent was held back too, but he was held back at Kindergarten time, so he is the same grade as we are.”

“Oh.”

Kurt nodded.

“I also want to make hunting season next year.” Burt said. “Lou said he missed us this year and he has a new bow for you. He’ll bring it by during Christmas break.”

Kurt smiled.

“Kurt goes hunting?” Finn said.

Kurt nodded. “I go bow hunting with my dad’s cousin Lou pretty much every year and I go with Dad and Hank with the guns every year. Last year I got grouse and two pheasants…we didn’t try for anything bigger. We didn’t get out this year at all.”

“That’s not fair!” Finn yelled.

“I’ll take you next year if you pass hunter’s ed…including the bow course if you think you want to try the bows.”

“You have to go to school for it?” Finn whined.

“Yes.” Burt said.

“Finn, anyone with a Hunting License in this state had to take Hunter’s Ed…and they passed. I’m sure you could manage.” Kurt said rolling his eyes. “We do the Car Show and Hot Air Balloon Festival and either the Monster trucks or a demolition derby. Oh and we usually manage a race.”

Burt nodded. “Add in Hank’s Birthday bash and super bowl party and Wade’s summer fling BBQ and Winter Rally Night and Jake’s Fall festival.”

“I know you missed Jake’s Festival but I went and helped with the Pumpkin Patch. Oh, and Robbie hosted a pumpkin carving party this year that they plan on making an every year thing.”

“That’s good…that boy has been trying to find a party to host for a while.” Burt said.

“So Finn? Are there any other big things you do?”

“Mom’s family has a summer campout thing?” Finn said. “Uncle Bobby finds us cabins somewhere by a lake and we all swim and play games and stuff. It is usually in July, the week after the fourth. It is all week long but sometimes we don’t stay all week. Last year I went to that football camp instead for more than half of it.”

Burt nodded and pointed at the paper for Kurt to write it down.

“Oh…Puck and I have a weekend gaming marathon the first weekend in August. Most of the time it is just us…even though sometimes that makes people mad.”

Burt nodded again. “If you think of any others come tell me. Carole…do you have anything to add.”

“No. I’m going to go back to bed…my head aches.”

“No, not quite yet,” Burt said smiling. “We need to discuss Finn and driving.”

“No. We don’t. He drives the truck and that is that. We should fill it up more often for him, though.”

“Is he legally driving that truck?” Burt asked.

Carole refused to look at anyone. “I don’t have time to drive him places and he would be teased if he had to ride the bus or ask for rides. His reputation is more important.”

“Did he take driver’s ed?”

“No. Why would he?” Carole said. “I taught him well enough.”

Burt rolled his eyes and looked at Finn.

“Finn, did you hit someone?”

“Yeah, a mailman when Mom was teaching me.” Finn said.

“What happened after that?” Burt asked.

“I wasn’t going real fast…he just kinda rolled up the hood and off the side and then mom was screaming and she pulled the wheel and made us run into a fire hydrant and we switched sides then we got out and no one was there who saw anything to tell anyone different than what she said.” Finn said.

“And what did she say?” Kurt asked.

“Oh…that she swerved to miss hitting him more centered after he walked right out into the street while not looking. She got yelled at and was supposed to see a judge but then came home after talking to a lawyer and said everything was fixed.”

“How old were you?” Burt asked.

“I’ve been driving since I was 15 and a half.” Finn said. “So that was probably when I was like almost 14 and half maybe.”

“And you have never considered you needed a license?”

“We got me a state Id. card; I don’t need one of those.”

“That’s not how it works, Finn.” Kurt said with a sigh.

“Of course it is.”

“No, it’s not.” Burt said. Burt sighed and rubbed his head. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.”

“Are you going to call someone about it?” Kurt asked.

“No. That’s why I can’t believe I’m doing this. Finn stops driving immediately. The truck comes to the garage and stays there and Finn starts the police run drivers education class starting in January. We go about this completely legal from this point forward…and Finn, if you talk about driving illegally at that class, they will fine you and possibly arrest you and your mother. I suggest you play dumb as a rock and say what you know of driving you learned driving in fields at your uncle’s house. Just keep quiet unless asked, answer just what you are asked, and offer no extra information. Because if you let it slip you’ve driving for years with no license, I will not cover your asses on this. Seriously, what you have both been doing is so reckless and stupid I am of half a mind to take you down right now and turn you over myself.”

“But Kurt drives!”

“Kurt is licensed and qualified and has been driving very well for a long time. And Kurt got special permission to drive at the garage starting at 12 which I had to fill out reams of paperwork for. That involved moving cars in and out of the garage and parking them. That was it for a long time. He started officially taking the same drivers course I am signing you up for the day he turned 15 and a half….just like he was LEGALLY able to and drove the required hours with company, just like he was supposed to. He got his license when he was supposed to…his honest to goodness driver’s license. And he generally follows the rules. And when something does happen, his doesn’t get his vehicle back until I allow it.”

“Like when Mercedes threw the brick through my baby’s window!” Kurt said.

“You said you lost use of your car because your dad found your tiara collection.” Finn said.

“I told Mercedes I lost the use of my baby because my dad found my tiara collection. She was feeling stupid and guilty enough as it was, I wasn’t going to be cruel and add to it. Tina and Brittany knew the real reason. No one else actually asked me. Dad’s known about the tiara collection since I started it at two.” Kurt said with and eye roll. “It also had nothing to do with my thigh length sweaters.”

“I’m not driving him, Burt. I just do not have the time.” Carole said.

“That is fine. I will drop him off at school when I head to work. Then he will certainly be on time and maybe he can put that extra time at the school to use working on his grades. I will also have someone watching so he doesn’t get up to mischief and ill behavior being there early like that.”

“You can’t do that!” Finn shouted.

“Can’t do what?” Burt asked.

“Have someone tattle on me!” Finn shouted.

Burt raised an eyebrow. “So, you generally do things that if someone were to see and tell me about it would be tattling?”

“What? I didn’t say that. I mean No. I mean…” Finn trailed off.

“Yeah…so until you pass and complete the requirements for drivers ed…which will not be lowered for you because you are over 17…someone else will be driving you places. I am not kidding Finn. Furthermore, all your driving hours will be with me. No one else.”

“But…”

“But nothing. You were reckless and irresponsible. There will be no more of this.” Burt said.

“Are you done being tyrannical, Burt? I don’t know why you think I’m going to put up with this. I will not. Finn is being treated horribly by you right now, and it is crushing him. I can’t believe all you are putting my sweet boy through today.” Carole said, pushing herself away from the table. She swayed as she stood and put her hand to her head and grimaced.

“Finn is not and he is just fine, I’m sure. Anything he has been put through today is his own fault for doing illegal things so often and getting away with crap.” Burt said.

“It’s Kurt’s fault.” Carole said. “If Kurt would just act normal…”

“Bullshit. Half of what has been discussed has been happening since long before Kurt came into the picture.”

“Nonsense, I still am not seeing problems through the whole thing.”

“Your child lies and cheats and vandalizes and drinks and skips school and is flunking classes and treats others poorly, and you are not seeing a problem?” Burt said.

“No, it’s all just kid stuff that doesn’t matter. And None of that can really be proven. Now, you are going to just stop with all this meeting whatever crap and do everything how it has been done the last few weeks and however Finn and I want it done and you will NOT discuss anything with the cops about things Finn might have been involved with at all and you will not listen to any of those farfetched lying tales your child tells you about anything Finn or anyone else has done to him. Finally you will NOT question me.” Each statement was accompanied by a stomp of her foot as Carole snapped.

“I will not, huh?” Burt asked.

“No, you will not. I am always the one telling you the truth, I haven’t been the one telling lies. Kurt has, Kurt always has been the one lying! Me and Finn are the only ones telling you the right truths!” Carole screamed.

“Good God! How long have you been playing games like this? Do you lie to me often? Or just once in a while to cover your son’s sorry ass? How often have you lied to make yourself look like the one in the right, Carole? To make Finn the one in the right? Is it all lies? Am I going to have to make you show evidence to back up anything you tell me? Was it all a sham? Is it all a sham?” Burt yelled.

“I’m going back to bed; you and I will discuss this travesty of hate towards me when I can talk without it echoing.”

“Fine…go to bed. You are right though, you and I will be discussing this all. And hopefully, we come to some sort of solution that is rational or you will be finding a new home…just the two of you. I refuse to deal with this type of behavior any longer. Either you are this hateful bratty little bitch you’ve been showing me since we got married or you are the grown mature woman I dated….who had issues apparently, but they didn’t completely rule everything and we could probably deal with those in some sane manner. I will remain married to the grown women, not the little bitch.”

Carole screamed and stomped off towards the stairs.

“We will be discussing jobs and Finn before the end of January, Carole. Don’t forget to drink some more water before you take your nap.” Burt called after her.

Burt watched as Carole swayed as she headed back up the stairs. All those times when they were dating and she begged off after evening spent with the girls she worked with made more sense, as did the days she called and canceled siting a hard day at work. He couldn’t see how he had missed it before, but then…he hadn’t been looking, he guessed. They drank very little while out together, even the few times they went to fancy places, and she’d never shown up to the get-togethers Burt hosted that had beers. He wasn’t willing to play this game all the time though, so she was just going to have to get used to less drinking at the house…And several other changes that were going to have to be made.

remember last year when i made a post like this saying i’d post regularly about what i have going on at college and then proceeded to post nothing but some mediocre workspace snaps the entire year?

hopefully this isn’t a round two.

just got back onto campus on friday and it feels incredible to be back. i forgot how much i love it here. my building is gorgeous and i’m rooming with the same roomie as last year who ended up becoming one of my closest friends on campus -- and off, for that matter.

classes don’t start for another week and my schedule looks so nice, even though the only history course i’m taking this semester is a major-required writing course :( anyway, here’s the lineup:

intro seminar (one of two req’d writing courses for designed for history majors focussing on European modernism)

world literature (the higher level lit course req’d for my writing major)

intro to fiction (the intro track for my writing major, though i might switch to poetry at the end of the semester depending on how this goes tbqh)

tutoring for peer writers (to be able to working at the writing center here!)

stars, galaxies, and the cosmos (the very last science course i’ll ever have to take, for a gen ed)

general goals for this year:

commit and start taking classes for the public & professional writing cert.

kick ass as poetry editor of one of the campus lit mags. share my ideas (the magazine is slowly reviving after a two or three year hiatus)

submit essays and poems i have from the past few years to lit mags.

become less dependent on the chicago and ap style books (i use chicago for my history major and ap at my job with the newspaper)

join a sustainability/environmental club. volunteering at the thrift store on campus sounds like a gr8 time.

save money. aka only eat out when i’m with friends, not by myself. don’t make impulse purchases. keep track of all my spending. take out cash back at the beginning of the week and only spend that cash over the course of the week.

put more volunteer hours in. tbqh i was in the library every night until 2 to 4am last semester except for weekends when i was out Making Mischief until about the same time. so definitely slipped on volunteer hours.

introduce myself more often & make it a point to smile at old acquaintances from last year, even if they just sat behind me in one class.

exercise often, eat well, avoid elevators. become more creative at the dining halls. running is screwing up my knees and strength training has given me a bit of a booty boost so i’m trying to refocus... which means using the gym more instead of just the treadmill.

maintain a decent sleep schedule. right now i’m chilling at about 7am every morning and i’m hoping i can keep it that way.

use this studyblr! i reblog a lot of stuff but haven’t done original content in a while. what would you guys like to see? organization systems? what my dorm looks like? whats in my backpack? my pencil case? my desk ? what i brought to school with me? how to eat healthy at school? morning routine/evening routine/exercise routine? ill prolly end up doing all of the above at some point but let me know priorities!

so this blog as more than 1500 followers which is incredible but i know for a fact i hardly talk to any of you. i want to get to know everyone and find other cool blogs to follow! what are some of your goals and what are you guys studying? how was your summer and what are you most excited about for school? & if your studyblr isn’t your main, drop your studyblr url here or in the inbox and i’ll be sure to check you out! i’ll be following from @accidental--light.

thanks for reading if you’ve gotten this far and hope everyone has a great start to their school year!

Alrighty, I’m going to do a little ‘About Me’ blurb huge ass ‘About Me’ as promised, including where I’m at in life, my fitness stuffs and any other fun information I think might be relevant or interesting. I’ll probably stick it on a page on my blog when it’s done, but this will be my official post.

Well, my name is Janessa, I am 23 and I’m Canadian. I’m from Ontario originally but I moved west to Alberta a year or so ago to be with my boyfriend. My boyfriend is super cool and we’ve been together for a little over two years. He’s Punjabi and we met while he was studying at the college in my University town. He’s working on the immigration process and hopefully once that is done we’ll have a great big giant Indian wedding and it’ll be super fun.

I have a Bachelors in Indigenous Studies, but currently I’m working as a school bus driver. I hope to get into something in my field in the next few years once the economy goes back up but for now I like my current job. My eventual goal is to be a midwife, although I am a trained doula right now.

I’m part Anishnaabek (Ojibwe) so I do a lot of birth work through Indigenous traditions. I’m also Scottish and very proud of that heritage as well and I have a huge thigh piece tattoo of our Scottish Clan crest and motto.

I am a huge tattoo addict and currently have six tattoos and would have more if I could afford it. I also am kind of a writer, I say kind of because I have been my whole life but lately work and adult life has kind of bogged down the creative spirit. I had one poem published while I was in University but I prefer short stories and perhaps one day a novel.

I suffer from mental illness. I have Anxiety Disorder as well as Depression. Depression is periodical and I am considered “recovered” from my most recent episode. My anxiety however is chronic and unfortunately I am not currently medicated for it as I don’t make enough to pay for the medication and my job doesn’t have benefits. I do prefer life on my medication but at the moment that isn’t an option (side note: In Ontario we had coverage for low income people for mental health medication but Alberta does not cover ANYTHING and is very much like the USA when it comes to this stuff).

I’ve always been a bit “bigger” and tended towards junk food and I found comfort from high school bullying in food. I was diagnosed with EDNOS in high school, around the same time I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression (about 15 years old) but towards the end of high school I had figured out my own healthy eating plan, and although I didn’t go to the gym I took long walks, biked and did archery. By highschool graduation I was about 160 pounds and my happiest and healthiest.

After high school and during University I went through a lot of issues with an abusive relationship, trying weed for the first time, drinking for the first time, both of which became regular habits for a period of time and I also smoked cigarettes for about 4 years starting at 17 years old. By the time I was 20 I was single, had kicked most of my bad habits, although I hadn’t totally quit smoking yet, but I had put on about 20 pounds. I committed myself to going to the gym and eating better and I took a job as a nanny on an organic farm where I got a ton of vegetables and fruits for free. I also started shopping at the local farmers market and it changed my body a lot for the better.

After meeting my partner when I was 21 and finding out that 3 months later he would be moving to Alberta a lot began to change. I started to falter and after he moved I was really alone where I was living. Most of my friends had moved away and so 5 months later I packed two suitcases and bought a one way ticket to Alberta. I had no job, and no money and for the first 10 months I lived off Maggi Instant Noodles and aloo parathas (basically potatoes stuffed in bread) and not much else. I went from 185 pounds to 235, a massive weight gain in only a short period of time. I kept saying that I was going to go to the gym and that when we had more money I would eat better, but when we had a bit more money I fell back into depression and continued to eat and I spent most of my time sleeping or laying in bed crying. In the summer of 2016 I would try to motivate myself by convincing my boyfriend to go hiking with me. Calgary is right between the Badlands and the Rocky Mountains so there are so many beautiful spots. But between work and our crappy car, we only made it out four or five times all summer.

I had always thought the first time I got to wear a saree I would look beautiful and graceful, but instead I just hated the photos taken of me. My only saving grace in this photo, my biggest motivator, is that look on my boyfriends face. He’s never stopped loving me or telling me I was beautiful. Looking at this photo actually makes me tear up because although I’m doing this for myself, I’m also doing it for him. Because even though I know he’ll love me whether I weigh 160 pounds or 300 pounds, he wants a girlfriend, and eventually a wife who is healthy, who isn’t going to suffer from a heart attack at 40 because she used food as comfort, who is going to be able to teach our kids to have a healthy relationship with food and with activity.

For the longest time I didn’t care, I just figured it’s my body, the doctor says everything is pretty healthy considering my weight, so who cares if I eat an entire bag of chips after a bad anxiety attack? But he does, and I really should. I love to cook healthy full meals for him, and yet half the time I grab McDonald’s on the way home to cook him dinner, how does that make sense?

And I want this journey to be so much more than losing weight. I’m at a really confusing point in my life, I mean being 23 is hard. This whole thing is about discovering who I am and what works for me, both in life and in weight loss. So I’m here, I’m ready, I’d love to be friends with all of you and I’m ready to do this.

#reposted because apparently the pictures I added went over the text somehow
