#stories from the sitting room

[harmcityherald]

Hey! completely peaceful morning. I have been waiting 5 days for this moment. Am I going to chastise her? nope. Part of being the bigger person is actually being the bigger person.

Finally whatever had a grip on her mind has released itself a little bit. I will forgive this woman always and I will always support her.

From what I can glean, her sister and brother are being assholes to her and you know she just lost one of her brothers. He was the one brother that had sense. I talked to her this morning and trying to convince her to let those people go out of her life. Of course it's wrong to take it out on someone close to you. But if you really love somebody, you weather the storm. I have weathered it and I have found that what I thought was true from the beginning I did zero things to precipitate this. This has to do with her sister and her brother. She needs to let those assholes go.

Our daughter is having the same kind of issue at home right now. If anybody remembers the Meathead Saga well it still continues quite unabated. So yesterday I guess they were arguing and she put her phone on recording live stream that shit to Facebook. You get to hear Meathead screaming and her acting very calm and a loose behind the camera. I love my daughter, I fucking hate Meathead and I fucking hate everything he stands for and everything he fucking does but it is wrong to record somebody when they don't know it and throw that shit on Facebook. I turned it off about halfway through and I told her I did. I am well aware of the abusive situation she is in. It wasn't that long ago but those two attempted to Shanghai The Manor from me. I woke up and realized one day that the minute that that house went into his name he would throw me into the street. And we all know what happened when I told him I was not going to sell him the house. Attempted murder. I had a room of doctors and police standing around me telling me why I should press charges but I told them that if I press charges I can't get them out of my house and I want them out of my house so there's that. And then he had the nerve to call the FBI on me but that backfired on him as well. He was not aware that I have no fear they weren't even off the telephone yet and I had already had my cell phone and was calling my newest FBI office. Please send a guy here I want to show you these three printing presses he has where he turned this place into a ghost gun Factory. The guy on the other end of the phone said hold on for a minute. When he came back onto the phone he was kind of laughing and he told me you have nothing to worry about we are very aware of him. So the asshole called the FBI on himself. I didn't do anything wrong, it would not make me nervous to sit down and have coffee with the highest ranking Secret Service individual you can find. And I probably repaired their Furniture in the past so I had many clearances to go many places that many other people don't get to see.

I'm so relieved this morning. We actually had coffee together and that's when she whipped out the texts that she's been receiving from her sister and brother. She asked my advice. I told her drop them bastards. I've had to do it a couple times in my life. Hopefully I can convince her of that and maybe try to convince her to get some help but she is very obstinate about that. So it's been 5 days of a living hell for me and not knowing what the hell is going on or what the hell I did was driving me crazy. As if I'm not crazy enough they all like to put that label on me. That's right I'm the crazy one, keep your fucking distance. And keep your manipulating ass out of my life and are unwelcome at the Manor. You've got a really big a super shitty person for me to ban you from the Manor. But once you've crossed that line it's going to take a lot to get back.

There's 10 years of difference between me and Artemisia. I met her when I was 22 and she was 32. We have now been together for over 35 years. So we have a weird dynamic here at the Manor. Artemesia is the Boomer. I am gen X. our kids are millennials and our grandchildren are gen Z. It makes for an interesting family dynamic in a good way. And we have all been getting along very good on the political front because we've all learned that in this new hostile political environment we would do Best by serving ourselves and our family. If they come with a civil war the minute they step on my property that will be the day I become involved. I spent my life working for Freedom Peace Love you name it, the hippie spirit. I still retain that to myself to this day. My youngers have learned that we get so much more accomplished if we talk about it and communicate with each other like human beings. I've spent a lot of time trying to teach that to them. And a few of them may not want to admit it but I have reached them on occasion when no one else could. I'm the guy in the house who shoots down all the conspiracy theories when I hear them. But we don't come to the table with physical violence. In fact we don't fight each other for our politics. Yes, I guess you could say I'm the Lord of The Manor. And as long as I am we live in a house that respects everybody's right to live be free to read what you want and to believe what you want so long as it does not bring calamity to The Manor. I do all this work all these years with all these kids to try and teach them a better way of thinking and then there goes Artemisia popping off like a crazy balloon but like I said before my best bet is to sit back in the corner and be quiet until it's over because it too will pass just like everything else. And I believe this morning is that morning. There was no attack in her voice. There were no names that she has called me for the last 5 days. She came to me with those text messages from her family and asked me what I thought she should do. Of course I told her the First Choice put the phone down stop reading into them and just ghost them. Or I told her to tell them how she feels and then ghost them. I also told her that the day she cuts those people out of her life will be the best thing that she's ever done for herself.

It is a very beautiful day out today. The garden looks beautiful everything is growing and reaching for the Sun. I told her to come outside and enjoy some of it with me, but she still has herself isolated in one room but maybe today we can coax her out a little bit.

I think that one of the important lessons of Love itself is how you can forgive someone their flaws and forgive someone their behaviors. So as I can say Artemisia has been wrong wrong for about 5 days. I know it, the youngers know it, and I do believe Artemisia knows it. She just can't navigate to a good place, she has a hard wired adversion to apologizing for anything. And I am just the perfect man for her because I can see that I can hear that and I can set it aside now knowing that I was not the cause of it. Sure I could stamp my feet and act entitled that she owes me an explanation she owes me an apology but you know what? I'm not going to do that to her I love her so much and she is the most important person in the world to me, don't tell her I said that.

sorry but do you ever think about the fact that the bernard we have today is a direct amalgamation of everything that happened in his past and i know that sound like such an obvious statement to say but it actually kills me to know that you can draw a direct line from who he is today all the way back to that sixteen year old boy who watched his best friend bleed out. like it is the defining moment in his life. it fundamentally shaped who he is and the person he's become. he is the bernard we know and love not despite the grieves shooting but because of it. because the gangs all got together and shot up his school. because tim walked out of that room with nothing but a baseball bat. because his darla got shot. because he watched her gasp and cry as she died. because he watched the blood coagulate around the wound. because he sat there and held her hand as her life drained out of her. because he walked into school that day with a joke he knew would make her laugh and her nose would scrunch up and she'd snort a little and tim would roll his eyes at him and call him ridiculous and instead he walked out with a bloody white shirt, blood under his fingernails, and two friends less. because, even now, almost half a decade out from the shooting, he thinks that if he closes his eyes, he will always be that stupid, scared little sixteen year old, holding the cooling body of dead best friend.

Thinking of how Jien collects things that remind her of her home during her missions and simple outings, sometimes it can range from one item, a simple souvenirs, but other times it is bags worth of items and she sends them all to her house on the Xianzhou, essentially hoarding all the little things in which she finds a sense of belonging. Her collection grows every time she goes somewhere. It makes me sad.

how long do y’all think Ashe had to sleep in Mark’s bed with him after what happened to her mom. How often do you think Mark would try to put Ashe to bed and she’d run to him minutes after he leaves her room and begged him not to leave her. How often do you think Mark would hold her while she slept, staying awake for nights on end so that when she woke up screaming and sobbing from nightmares he could be awake to comfort her.

Do you think she moved back to her own room on her own or that she got to an age where Mark slowly started making her go back to her room instead. Do you think he’d sit in there and wait until she fell asleep or with his work one day he just stopped letting her crawl into bed with him. Do you think there were nights where when she could only fall asleep in his bed he’d carry her back to her room and she’d wake up, alone, in the room that damn book was in, do you think she’d just scream until Mark ran in to check on her?

Friendly reminder that FNAF book canon and game canon are completely separate, with the game canon being the end all be all for what's actually happening

Yes there are elements from the books that were implemented into the games that. To be honest has fucked up everyone since then but those are. The only actual elements including the Mimic that have become the canon within the main universe

Anything and everything else should be seen as a goofy Goosebumps story unless they actually- GENUINELY- make sense within the confines of the universe

I have always hated telling people I see auras. The pandemonium that always follows that statement is always predictable and always tremendously annoying. No matter what, there's always that person who says "do me next." So it's never been something that I am comfortable talking about and especially not in large groups of people. I'm very used to not being believed and being labeled a lunatic or worse. The problem is I can not navigate around it and properly tell my story, from my point of view, without fabrication. To omit that from my story, like bisexuality for example, would be a lie. Not worth spending the time and literal anguish writing it. This is my first time. Be gentle. My first book can not be built on a fabricated foundation. Do auras exist? I say hell yes. Many say its not. But the universe is built on photonic energy particles and waves. Maybe I am a freak and skitzo as they say, but maybe freak skitzo is near the veil that separates the planes or dimensions or whatever the fuck they are. The big question of science is simple. So simple in fact as to be laughable. What is it? Simple. We look at existence and ask ... What is it? 200,000 years of wondering. Thousands of scrolls, manuscripts, books, data streams and we are still nowhere near an answer to anything beyond simple mechanics and physics for reactions at the lowest levels. The big questions remain out of our reach. The big questions that can be channeled together to one question. Again, what is it? So while I can accept that maybe I am screwed marbles, out of my grey cells completely and in desperate need of realignment, I can also comfort myself in knowing that just maybe I bumped my head in the womb in just the right way or maybe we have a gift curse in our genetic makeup. Running in my family because yes, my grandmother, my mother, both gifted with gift curse abilities. Maybe its defended from so far back we didn't even have legs yet, who can say? Maybe combined with DNA from my father, gifting me with a genetic lean towards femininity, it heightened this particular gift curse in me. Female energy is so much more focused. As if it depends its very nature from female form and ideation. Every fetus in the womb starts as female. It is the hormone bath that follows that delineates which will be favored. I feel I was lucky enough to receive some secret female energy. Thanks to Jessica, rest her soul. I believe males are the afterthought of nature. We are but pawns in a female game lol. Men catch fire when I say this. Its entertaining. Anyway. Long winded word salad to say its ok to think I'm nuts. I'm completely ok with you saying that because I may well be. On the other hand, my shared experiences with my mom I will never deny. I can not afford to lie to myself this late in the game. She had something and I saw the proof, I got something and our proofs formed that bond of common knowledge. Does it mean we understand it any better for you? Hell no, we don't understand none of this shit. There's a scene in the movie Constantine that makes me cry every time. You'd think it was something big like shia's death? Him quiting smoking? Her sister going to heaven? No, it was none of that. Its the scene when he's a little boy on the bus. (Why busses are factoring tonite is concerning lol.) He sees the scary skeleton woman. No one but him can see. It traumas me every time. Because I can relate to it. sixth sense too. I was lucky to have my mom. Without her help and guidance I hate to think what I would have become.

So, as doctors plot to commit me, I, in my utmost wisdom decide to espouse upon my occult involvement from early childhood and my hallucinatory psychic visions that I fought very hard to beat back and control. I like to walk the tightrope of public humiliation. Its invigorating and refreshing. My childhood happened as I remember it, and in my mind, there is no other version. Adam ant tells us ridicule is nothing to be scared of. On one hand it is a very personal and quiet thing, held firmly behind the back to not invite scrutiny. I could a Christian man, holding crossed fingers behind his back. Tell me, what makes his magic voodoo any better than mine?

probably my most favorite take is that rhaegar suffered from the same “madness” as his father & brother, aka a family history of schizophrenia and my evidence is i know what someone on a delusions of grandeur bent looks like lmao, and someone becoming convinced that their bloodline is the key to saving the world, then getting fixated on someone else they love/admire as also being the key to saving the world, is like, textbook delusional. i’ve always thought rhaegar (and dany & viserys, by extension as the last dragons, inheriting the legacy from their older family members) was a great way of exploring that concept of “are you really crazy if they’re actually out to get you” bc these prophecies definitely exist! some magical portend IS out to get them but unfortunately all it did was make them absolutely crazy!

i may be the stupidest person alive

so im afraid of bugs right. and there was a HUGE bug in my apt today and i freaked out and spent like 5 minutes trying to get it out. and after i got it out i thought it might be a hornet so i googled pictures of hornets to compare. but what i didnt consider was that a close-up picture of a hornet would scare the shit out of me. so i pull up the picture and freak out again and threw my phone across the room instinctively. so i gave up on finding out what kind of bug it was and started doing something else. THEN 10 minutes later i open my phone to find out i never actually closed the picture of the hornet so i got scared AGAIN and throw my phone again. and i just realized that when i threw my phone i still didnt close the picture so ive been scared to open it again bc i dont wanna see it

To be honest the dialogue in twd is absolute ass sometimes but the actors deliver their lines with so much conviction that it kinda slips by. You yell that convoluted sentence with your whole cunt, girl.
