#work has been Hectic af

[indomitablepride]

{ Hi, I’m here! }

[brucewaynehater101]

What if Tim was a meta with ability to erase and change people's memories (like Pudding from One Piece) and when he felt like he had to disappear he erased memories of himself from Batfam's minds??

Ye!

The batfam become confused af as well. They feel something is missing. There's a hole in their lives, but they can't tell what it is. They can't tell that their memories are missing because Tim erased the memory of the third Robin from everyone's minds.

Despite having no recollection of Tim (and despite him deleting all evidence that says contrary), everyone still feels his absence.

Alfred, for some reason he can't place, keeps setting an additional plate down for dinner. He finds himself buying Zesti flavors none of the Waynes like.

Jason feels an odd sort of grief when he notices his jacket is still draped over the back of the couch where he left it.

Bruce finds himself drowning in work despite the workload being the same as it always is. He goes to send his analysis of an interesting cold case but pauses at the contact name.

Cass knows, to the very being in her bones, that her family isn't whole. She just doesn't know why.

Duke finds himself dropping by Wayne Enterprises during his dayshift, but he doesn't know where he wants to go. He's also bothered by the window in the CEO office being locked how it's supposed to be.

Titus won't stop whining as he sits in front of a bedroom in the family wing that's always been empty.

For some reason, Barbara has every other Tuesday night completely empty. Despite her hectic schedule and her needing that time to get work done, she can't bring herself to fill it.

Damian is getting so frustrated every time he tries to paint. There's a face he keeps drawing, but it's blurry. He doesn't know who it is, and he doesn't know why it causes him to feel so much.

Steph cracks a smile when she sees a brick but doesn't know why. There's a plethora of inside jokes she knows but doesn't understand. None of the other Bats react to them either.

Dick stares at the photo of himself with his parents and two strangers. He thought his mourning had lessened over the years. He still feels it, but he usually remembers the good times when he looks at this picture. Now, it's as if he's feeling their loss anew. He's grieving, but somehow, he knows it's not about them. He doesn't know what else it could be.

Character Jack Dawkins

Couple Jack X Reader

Rating Sweet AF

Requested: Hey really love your blog <3 I'd like to request a Jack dawkins one where she is autistic and has a meltdown because she got overstimulated + too much emotions and Jack maybe panicking a bit because he doesn't know what's wrong and she is rocking and kinda hurting herself through stimming. Just hurt/comfort stuff. Kinda specific so only if your comfortable with it but would be very happy about it. Thank you ♡

Warning: Panic Attack / Overstimulation / emotioanal meltdown / stimming / Nail picking / Nail biting /

I sat, my knees pulled to my chest, my mind a flood with thoughts, feelings, and every other thought in the world. Everything had just overflowed so I had run up to our room and hidden away from the world. Tears flooded down my cheeks, picking at my nail beds beyond the point of it being painful, my body uncontrollably moving back and forth to rock myself. I heard the door open and immediately didn't want to have to deal with explaining myself. 

"Ahh, There you are Y/n." Jack smiled as he shut the door, "I've been looking all over the hospital for you," He laughed as he came over and kissed my forehead, which was enough for me to almost scream and move away, he noticed and put some space between us. "What have I done?" he asked but I didn't have the strength to speak, "Ohh come on sweetheart what have I done? You have to tell me you know I hate you being upset with me."

"Y-You haven't done any-" I forced as I tried to speak,

"Have you been up here all afternoon?" He asked and I nodded, "Then talk to me, what's made you so upset?" He asked, "And please stop doing that y/n." He said trying to make my hands stop picking my nails, but I slapped his hands away "Please, I don't know how to help sweetheart. You have to tell me so I can-"

"Enough!" I yelled putting my hands over my ears and trying to just sit quietly,

He was silent and sat on the bed keeping a distance between us, he was slow and gentle with his breaths keeping loud enough that even if absentmindedly I began to follow them, he waited for a while before he spoke up, softly and gently. "I just wanna help." 

"I know... I know... I'm sorry,"

"You don't need to be sorry. I know you... get like this sometimes." he said, "I guess this is from, Everything down there."He asked and I nodded, "Alright, I wanna help. Just tell me what you need me to do, take as long as you need." 

"I'm sorry-"

"It's Alright, my fault for not noticing you were like this. We can talk. I can help. or we can just sit in silence whatever is gonna help." 

"Silence. for now."

He nodded and for a while the two of us just sat together with the only sound of our breathing, the room darkening as the evening rolled in, after a while, I took his hand and set it on my head. He smiled and gently stroked my hair "You ready to talk?" he asked and I nodded, "Okay, I'm listening."

"Today just... got to be too much."

"That's okay, it has been very hectic today. I'm proud of you for coming up here and taking time for yourself." He smiled, "Come on you talk as much as you need to I'll be here to listen."

I let out a sigh, "It's all been too busy, so many people and they are all complaining about nothing, and the nurses are getting irritable with me because I can't find anything where they moved the cupboards around last week, and it all got so loud, and hot, and I couldn't find anything, and I was already uncomfortable being on my own all day and my socks are very tight and it's uncomfortable!" 

"...You done? That everything?"

"I think so."

"Okay," He nodded, "It's all okay sweetheart, it's over now. No more work, we can sit here in the dark together if that's what you want. I'll even leave you alone if you'd prefer."

"No, I'd like you here."

"Then I'm very happy to stay" he smiled, "You wanna sit in the dark?"

"Yes please,"

"Okay, No worries. I like the dark." He smiled still slowly stroking my hair, "I know this is hard for you, and I'm happy you let me in even after a little while, I feel terrible I keep kinda forgetting what you like sometimes."

"It's okay. not on you to deal with my nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. It's you. and I love taking care of you sweetheart." he smiled, "I know what might help." he said briefly grabbing something from the side, "Would sock owl help?" he asked giving the small owl made from old socks and fabric cuts in his hand I nodded and took the little owl giving it a squeeze feeling the various stuffed fabrics move a little as I did, "There, better?"

"Yeah thank you, Jack." I smiled,

"You're welcome." he smiled, taking my hands and kissing my fingers where I had picked them so much they had bled, he gave each a kiss before cleaning my fingers and wrapping them up in bandages "There, all better." He smiled, "It worries me when you get this bad, you know it's the one thing I don't like you doing. You need your hands, and your cute little fingers, we work and live in a hospital sweetheart you need them, and it's the place most in contact for infection, I know it... what you feel you have to do. But you have sock owl, and me, I'd just really rather you try working on some other types of stimming when you're like this. Okay?"

"I'll try Jack."

"That's my girl." He cooed, "You think you're okay enough for a cuddle?"

"Yes." I nodded giving him a tight cuddle,

"Aww hi, sweetheart." he smiled kissing my head, "You feel better?"

"Much better, now you're here."

"I'm glad I could be so helpful to you, and I'm glad you feel better Y/n."

Hii, I was wondering if you could do something involving Ricky? Like how would he (and maybe others) would react to being very loved by their partner? I love them so much and I love your style of writing so I was hoping to get something kinda like this? Thank you so much! <3

RICKY — what is love? (drabble)

GENRE || tooth-rotting fluff

WORD COUNT || 542

NOTES || im not ready for thursday. also, i’m sorry this is short T-T life has been hectic af

RICKY sometimes wonders what love is.

In movies, love is the looks shared; softened eyes and hearts, eyelids fluttering to a shut as smooth lips press against another's. In books, love is the words left unwritten. The subtext behind actions, the lines intended to be felt and not seen.

In his parents, it was a cup of morning coffee made without request. An orange peeled perfectly just the way he likes.

In you, it is everything. You are love.

Your tears are pearls dripping like skylights, your hair like woven threads from Athena’s tapestries. Your anger is a flame and your words are mercury. Your touch is liquified planets, your fingers over his skin like the cosmos themselves flickering over his body.

You love him like a starved man, and he loves you as if you were his oxygen.

“Lovelicky,” You call, voice sweetened with the memories of thousands of forehead kisses and midnight dances. A form of endearment.

Ricky used to read romance novels of soulmate tropes. Of those who couldn’t see the world in color until meeting their beloved, and he wonders internally if that is how you came into his life. For you gift him the love he could never give himself.

He tends to fear withdrawal so heavily he looks for those who he knows cannot give him commitment to prepare himself for the lack. If you show even a sliver of doubt, he will go further to distance himself before the heartbreak can set in.

But you… oh you.

Wonderful, beautiful, breathing, loving you.

He sees the world in color thanks to you— your fiery anger, the red with which blood is made. Your silvery tears the same which fills the oceans. Your sweet smile the green of the grass, and your loving embrace the pink which colors the sky on most nights.

“Ricky, Earth to Ricky!” You call again, corners of your lips turned up ever-so-slightly in a way he could admire forever.

“Sorry,” He says in that soft tone of his. The one which melts your heart.

“It’s okay. Anything on your mind?” You ask, combing your fingers through his deceivingly soft hair. The blonde locks spill between your digits in fields of sparkling wheat and bubbly soda pop.

Ricky thinks for a moment, eyebrows furrowing inward just a tad as his gaze focuses on your shoes left by the door.

Right next to his shoes. Right where they belong.

“I love you,” He breathes out. “A lot.”

You laugh, a sweet thing that tickles his ears like whispers of wind. He hopes, in his next life, he is a star that can gaze down at you for eternity.

“I guarantee I love you more,” You reply. Ricky shakes his head.

“Not possible,” He says.

You just smile. So effortlessly endearing, so little work to make his heart race and palpitate like crazy.

“Possible,” You finally say, leaning forward to place a soft kiss on his exposed forehead. “There isn’t anything else bothering you?”

“No,” He says resolutely. “Not with you here.”

You chase away any thoughts that might threaten to tear himself down. You, his own angel, his own downfall, his home and his road and the journey to get you.

You, his love.

In a world of unfamiliar faces (there’s mark lee)

W/C : 1K words! its short af dw

Warnings : none?

Pairing: ex Idol! mark x non idol! reader

Summary: In a world of chaos, you’ll always find yourself with mark lee.

Seoul was a large city, filled with buildings, unfamiliar faces, faces that you may never see again. and behind those faces there were stories, stories that were theirs to tell.

I may not see these people again, and they may never see me again you thought. as you walked down the busy streets of the city that you were once afraid of

On your way to the train station, a familiar face catches your attention, it was a poster, of someone that you loved truly, the one and only mark lee who coincidentally was or is your ex lover, seeing the poster made you feel bittersweet.

[ 1:29 AM ]

“I… don’t know” the words slip out of his mouth, as he looks at you with tears in his eyes as you place a hand on his cheek “you don’t have to decide now” while caressing his cheek, what led to this? Mark’s schedule has been hectic recently. you wonder if he’s been having a hard time with balancing his work life with his personal life and well, you.

as the night passes, the guilt between the two only rise, feelings of regret, shame, guilt, sadness, frustration circle the room.

[ 2:19 PM ]

The night went by fast, you were now left in your apartment while mark went to work, specifically, to practice. sitting by the couch, an episode of modern family playing on the tv screen as your phone rings in the background.

“hey” mark says as you pick up the call.

“hi” you reply, feeling nervous as you hear the tone in his voice, filled with regret, guilt.

“I don’t know if I should do this over the phone but” mark says nervously, with stutters

“lets end this” he says quickly as he hangs up, not giving you a chance to respond.

you’re left there, looking shocked but relieved at the same time?

“okay” you say under your breath, you were glad that he broke up with you, but also angry and sad? Glad that he would have more time to focus on himself and what he wanted to do, Sad because, well you loved him, he was your escape, your rock, to this weird world that’s constantly moving, constantly changing. The person, the thing that was the only thing that stayed the same, the person that you could always rely on to be the same, was gone.

You felt like shit. why? you couldn’t keep him, you failed to make him even want to stay with you.

You turned around, seeing the poster made you wanna go somewhere that was very familiar to you, to the both of you.

you arrive at the place, where you and mark would always go to when you both had time to spare. you stare at the view that the place had, it was a beach that you and mark discovered when you had your ‘spontaneous’ strolls at night. it was beautiful, it always was and it still is.

you felt a figure behind you and you wondered, who the hell could also be here as a voice speaks up. “hey”, and your heartbeat quickened, you could recognize that voice anywhere, it was well, I’m sure its obvious now.

“mark” you say nervously as you invited him to sit next to you, he sat down, “you still go here?” he says, shocked that you could even bear looking at the place where you both had your best memories together. “yeah, you do too so you’re not any better than me” you say playfully as lays his head on your shoulder as he lets out a chuckle, “I guess so, do you mind? I’m just tired from practice”. you smile at him “I don’t mind at all”.

“you know, I was positive that you would hate me and this place” mark says tiredly, you felt bad for him, not in a pitying him way but more of in a I-feel-bad-for-not-being-there way. “I can never hate you mark, trust me, I tried” you said as you looked at him, you did, you tried to hate him. you just couldn’t. “and this place is nice! I would never”

he smiles at you and before you know it, hours pass by, the two of you just sitting there in comfortable silence. “if I wanted to get back with you again, what would you say?” he says nervously, the thought has always been there there just wasn’t a way to do that, not right now at least.

you look at him, eyes filled with guilt “I don’t.. know”, “you don’t have to decide now” he says as he holds your hand. “I know you’re concerned about me and you being a distraction from what I do but I promise, I can manage my time better now, I’ve been taking care of myself more” he says while looking at your eyes. you were happy, happy that he’s been taking better care of himself now, he can do what he likes while managing to do what he loves and spend time with those that are special to him. “I’ll see” you say happily.

he smiles at you “give me your phone, I’ll put my new number” you give him your phone as you he puts his number in. “I have to go now, you better call me” he says as he gives your hand a squeeze before getting up. “bye mark” you say as you wave at him. and watch him leave.

and like what you said before ‘faces that you may never see again. and behind those faces there were stories that were theirs to tell’ well by fate, you might find yourself with the same people that you were with, the same people that were in your story previously back in your life. and thank god for fate, if it wasn’t for her, you wouldn’t know where to find home, where to go when you need someone to be with you when you’re happy and sad. in this stupid stupid world that cant make up its mind you had mark lee.

Small update for those who follow All the Hope that I lost, you have found , the new chapter will be a little late - hopefully posted some time next week instead of this week end.

I'm explaining what's happening under the cut

Life's been hectic lately, between work (it's time for the first student reports and student meetings and such, on top of having a lot of papers to grade) and the horses. Indigo is doing a little better but he's now stuck in a box and we have to go take care of him at least once a day, but Illico now, Benj's horse, has developed pyroplasmosis, and has to undergo a very hard medication program over the week end, and we have to be there for each injection and walk him for a couple of hours lest he has colics. Which can kill him 👍

Of course this is also when I'm anemic af and alone for the week-end because Benj is working.

So...

Yeah. The chapter is mostly there but not good enough, and I'd rather take my time to finish it properly than rush it.

I hope anyone who's waiting for the next chapter understands !

(I've also taken most of my very little free time to prepare a commission sheet. Cause. Horse vets cost money 😬 lots of money 😬 I'll be posting that on my art blog soon)

[mrs-monaghan]

Bro some of these jikook bloggers here are funny af. You are telling me these people are getting upset JK has a schedule on 8th ? LMFAO. These people had an imagination in their heads that he'll drop a gcf on 8th. For one, we all are expecting that content from NYC-CT. But people really believed we are getting a jkk gcf right in middle of his release week ? Please don't be dumb... it's literally his solo album week and it should be about him and only him.

Now some are sad he's not staying back in SK on that day and salty towards JK for 'agreeing' to this schedule. Be fr. It's just 5 days past his album release and these people expect him to be free to spent his day with his bf ? 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Was Jimin even a minute free during his debut week? No, it was most hectic week. It's same with JK, who we know will have 2x promos than Jimin. He maynot write songs but he's also working and traveling constantly.. and has most tiring type of schedule out of all.

Me personally, is happy he put his career before than just an 'supposed' anniversary date. Guys, that's how it's supposed to be. No real professional will take a day off when it's their peak busy time to celebrate their 'anniversary', especially if they have a schedule out of country 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Istg these jikookers think they are some fuckass idols who are jobless half the year or expect them to be lovey dovey with each other on every special day as a domestic couple lol. We are talking about 2 most in demand professional af idols here and more than anyone else it's Jimin who understands what JK's work demands. You all don't have to worry about their anniversary dates, what lyrics he's singing, how much hours he's working etc

Jimin is worried. And if Jimin is worried about the hours JK is working then so are we 🤷🏽‍♀️

But that's not what this is about. While I agree with what you're saying, I don't like your tone of voice. It's coming off way judgy and condescending... portraying us like we don't have common sense.

Let me remind you again why we support Jikook. We believe they are in a relationship due to their CONSISTENCY. Consistency = patterns. Patterns are important. 11/8 is an important pattern. Thats why all Jokers, I-Jikookers and Kjikookers alike, all expected something. Because this has happened many a times in the past.

Now, I do not claim anyone getting mad at JK for being busy during their anniversary. But it's perfectly okay for us to be collectively disappointed.

I mean, on the plus side, people won't shit on Jikook and Jimin, calling them fanservice and calling what they have work but on the other hand, we really did want that GCF Cunneticut and its a bummer that we ain't getting it on this special date.

But all hope is not lost. At least on my end. There is content from that time and I know its coming. We just aren't getting Jikookery on 11/8 like we wanted... which is fine. And who knows anyway? There's still time. So we will see.

But don't judge us for thinking we were right. We've been right plenty of times before...

Hey!! It's been a while since I've been on tumblr or ao3 because of how hectic life has been lately, and I only recently started reading again. I haven't been keeping up with A Familiar Stranger (Tony's Version) a lot so when I saw it had 5 chapters it made me SO SO HAPPYYY 🥹🥹 The last time I checked it had only 1, and now I come back with 4 new chapters?? You're incredible!! It was so good, I love the complexity of it all and I'm so hooked!! Your work is incredible. Please be patient with yourself, I'll wait for another thousand years if I have to. 💗

Omg this is so sweet. Thank you!!! 🥹🖤

I’m totally with you on the life being hectic thing. That’s why my writing updates have been so sporadic. I still love starker though and don’t see myself ever getting over it. Especially AFS. It’s crazy when I first started shipping starker I wasn’t into starkercest, bc their power imbalance dynamic was enough for me. Look at me now 😵‍💫🤣

I’m so excited about Tony’s POV!! It’s definitely a challenge bc I find it easier to write Peter and I have to make sure I don’t contradict original plot points, and I have to make sure it’s not boring or repetitive and that Tony’s perspective adds new layers to content we’ve already read before. But that makes it even more rewarding to write. When you get to that moment in a scene where it’s like OHHHH that’s what Tony was thinking??? I love it.

It’s so lovely to hear from you!! Thank you for your support and Happy New Year. 🥹🖤🥳

dear darling star <3 how are you?

i hope im not bothering you with this message

it’s been a while now and tumblr just doesn’t feel the same without you </3

i hope you’re doing good (both physically and emotionally)

i’ve been out of order lately because my life has been super hectic, so here’s the rundown till now:

i passed the semester with equal parts a’s and b’s (ngl the b’a hurt a bit bc it’s the first time in like 6 years i’ve gotten a b in a class😪 but im just glad that i made it)

my uni friends and i went out drinking to celebrate the semester being over( there were a lot of college students and we felt old af). we got so drunk that it was so weird for me but it was so fun to let loose for the first time in a loooooong time.

we just finished booking everything we needed for lolla and im a bit more excited now.

i’ve also been watching kdramas now (?!?) and im kinda addicted

bittersweet news:

i’ve also been a lot more proactive in donating to help palestine (i still donated monthly b4 but i’ve tried chip in a bit more lately, considering what’s been happening in rafah)

for the not so good news:

two stray cats that we haven’t been able to spay yet gave birth so there’s that. i love kittens, they’re the cutest but i always get so stressed at socializing them and/or finding homes for them because people are irresponsible af with their pets here but i can’t keep taking cats in without my cats and my other financial responsibilities being affected </3 i’ve been kinda guilty for the trip too bc of the money we’ve spent

my dad found a premature newborn kitten and it sadly passed away too </3

and, finally, i’m taking my masters’ comprehensive tests in two weeks and im terrified of failing them (i’ll update when i get the results so 🤞🏻).

i hope you’re doing well, what have you been up to? i hope you’re taking good care of yourself💜

(adding some life pictures too, look at the babies, look at my mom’s big ass piece of pizza and of course, i hope you still drink your iced coffee consistently <3)

i wish you the absolute best, always <3

sending you love wherever your are, whenever you are✨

sincerely,

🐈‍⬛

My love!!!!!! The love of my actual life. I was just thinking of you because skz posted they would be doing that little kitten interview thing (they did it for us and us only ‼️‼️) I’m so excited we get to see Jisung with kittens 😌

you’re NEVERRRR a bother with your messages. They’re absolutely the best part of all my days and I’ve been thinking of you so often while on my little break from the internet. First I am SO glad to hear you finished with a’s and b’s????? You should be so proud of yourself my love!!!!!! And you went out to celebrate, I hope you had the most fun everrrrrr 🥹🫶

my sister and I just got our lolla wristbands in the mail and it’s all starting to feel so real. I’m excited but also nervous??? As fuck??????? And I still have 2 Ateez shows before then I’ve done absolutely nothing to prepare for 🥲 it’s crunch time when I get back home frfr

also pls send all the kdrama recs as soon as physically possible !!!!!!

I’m so glad to hear you’re able to donate and be of help 🫶 I’ve been continuing to donate to save the children and participating in active boycotts. Tuning into the news every day is just so fucking heartbreaking. I’m so proud of everyone on here doing what they can and donating ❤️🍉 I love you so much

Also FEEL YOU on the kitten thing…. kittens are so so so much work and they stress me out so bad. One of my neighbors at my parents’ house once left behind their cat who gave birth in our shed and we has to care for the last kitten who survived (super tiny little premature baby) and even though we rushed her to the vet and watched after her for a few days, she passed 💔 that was the moment that I remember being like….. kittens are just so much more fragile than people think and difficult to care for. You did the best that you could :( thank you for being there for them regardless.

Also how did the comprehensive test go? (If you already took it) I hope you did so so amazing my love!!!!!!!!

I love you endlessly and I’m thinking of you always. Momo and I are rooting for you (even though she’s with my dad rn) and we hope you’re taking good care of yourself. All my love to you, always always always 💓💞💫🫶 I’ll be back properly very soon and in the meanwhile I’m sending you all my love from the middle of nowhere ! I hope it reaches you

thoughts on 1989 TV?

I've not yet actually listened to the whole thing because of life hectic-ness, namely foot surgery that has made fun things like Consuming Music I Love suck a lot. So I'm listening all the way through today while I do some scanning for work! This is gonna be a sort of "live react" stream of consciousness thing that I'll ideally edit before bombarding you with my Thoughts :-)

In general, everything sounds so much crisper and I am LIVING

I've always been kinda meh towards style aside from the last chorus, but there's something sooo much better about style tv!! Haven't listened to the OG 1989 in ages, so I'd need to compare to really explain it (and it might be obvious, but I'm not the greatest at remembering the little details from pre-reputation albums bc rep was my first as a a Fan™️)

Her matured and vastly improved vocals are to die for and have been throughout the ~taylor's version~ journey. MWAH!

OOTW is already a gorgeous song, but tv is, again, just so...!!!!!

AYHTDWS is already one of my favorites, so the rerecording has me EMOTIONAL it's so beautiful. Hold me I listened twice (which I consider a sin on full listen-throughs of albums, though I AM a horrid sinner, so)

I still hate shake it off, but this one's much better. Milder hate, more like distaste now, sort of like a mushy thing on the bottom of my shoe instead of the bottom of my sock

IWYW makes me sprint thru the streets at 5 AM even with my recently removed stitches owie

WHAT IS THE SECRET SAUCE HERE?? Do the drums sound better? Idk!

I know bad blood is considered cringey but listen. It's also so fun and the cringe makes us free. Maybe the harmonies on the chorus have more parts?? Gdi i need to do one to one comparisons with all of these. Already salivating over the Kendrick Lamar version at the end of the album I'm excited for him

It's official that 1989 tv has made me really like songs I've been ambivalent or mildly positive towards (like style and wildest dreams now), so that's like actually huge imo

Everything is so pretty! (I'm half asleep now help I'm at WORK)

I Know Places is one of those TS songs I rarely listen to and then I listen and am like "why the fuck aren't I listening to this one daily" and IKP tv has me feeling that More Intensely

Clean is yet another fave and clean tv makes my very soul tremor. Don't look at me for a week

Wonderland continues to be a fucking transcendental experience that electrocutes my spinal column <3 the bridge is even MORE earth-shattering than it was in the original. please see my original thoughts from 4.5 years ago

these feelings re: Wonderland still stand and always will

The first chord of YAIL kind of sounds like the first chord of Give Great Thanks by Dorian Electra lmao

Still not crazy about YAIL but the lyrics and the ****** lore...phew!

New Romantics tv is suuuch a good example of how gorgeous tayla's lower register has gotten. It's so much richer and I guess more well supported?

I've heard that Slut! is actually emotional af...not ready

"I might as well be a joke in love" HOO BOY I SEE NOW WHAT FOLKS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

"Got lovesick all over my bed" is SO !!!!!!

Okay yeah Slut! is so fucking good

Say Don't Go has me reeling. I can see why it didn't make the final cut (she is just a little too unlike her brethren to the point that, imo, she wouldn't fit well into the original album as well as the songs that made it do), but it's soooo ggoooooOOOD!!! It gives me almost like...cousin of 1989 and Lover and Midnights vibes?

Now That We Don't Talk...!!!! These vault songs fucking rule, dude.

The end of NTWDT 🤝 Mastermind??

The I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it ⏩️ I broke his heart 'cause he was nice pipeline and how it rejects the continuation of a cycle of passivity while simultaneously continuing the emotional burden carried by women in their relationships!! And also a cycle of cruelty! These are half-baked thoughts but they ARE thoughts I'm having!! An english degree was wasted on me because my textual analysis skills are still so juvenile,,

Is It Over Now Boo From Fleabag Moment

I WAS RIGHT THE KENDRICK LAMAR BAD BLOOD VERSION IS SO FUCKING AJGKDHAGXGBX AHHHHHH (dats me yellin)

Hi all, I know I've been kinda MIA most of the week (work has been hectic af) and I've been inconsistent on a lot of my threads. I aim to be around this weekend to get some replies in though.

I may, however, drop a few things just to clear my head and get muse flowing. Especially things I have going with Cole, cause his muse is pretty low lately. In that case, I'll probably stop by with a lil IM to possibly start something new with you. :)

Okay but like not to completely bypass the prompts in my ask box rn, if any of you guys have any ideas or prompts or just thoughts on Stiles/Eli, or even Stiles/Eli/Derek, def send them into me- literally all I wanna write is Stiles and his sweet little Hale Wolf being in secret love and getting it on all the time, nasty af lmao. Spam me! 💕🔪

Also hope you’re all doing well! Work has been hectic for me this week, on top of coming down with a cold, but I’m feeling much better today, and I hope you’re all able to enjoy the weekend :3 mwah

Guys I’m here but it’s been a bloody tough week 🚨

It was a week of cramps at the beginning, then I had my skin biopsies done and I couldn’t be sweaty for 48 hours, I have been seeing a chiro a couple of times for my hip flexor, and then we lost our rep game by 1 point to the top team which was so hard. Work has been hectic AF. Today my running was SO good for the first 3km. I didn’t look at my watch until that point and I think it got into my head because I was running well and way ahead of my average pace these days and then I just got in my head and slowed down.

THEN we had our club match and we are guaranteed major semi as we are 2nd and the team we played had to win today to make 4th and they came out so physical, it was just a rollercoaster

AND THEN in the last quarter I caught a rocket pass from my team mate at the same time my opposition deflected it and my pinky finger went SEE YA and dislocated to the right haha like actual horizontal. Have never had that happen before. Immediately said omg omg and called time and just walked myself off. No tears and not much pain. Someone got the Physio and I remember saying please just put it back in it looks so weird 🤭 and boom in it went. Now however it is tender and I have to keep icing it and splint it.

If the Tillies win tonight it’ll be the one excellent thing in my day

Final Announcement

Hello everyone, Jack here. This might just be the final post of this blog in case anyone is still reading.

After 10 years of being in love with succulents, one day I just suddenly stopped being fond of them like I used to. I think I simply outgrew them. It feels weird but I guess it makes sense- all my hobbies never last forever.

I’ve since been focusing a lot on my creative work, as my illustration business has been growing steadily lately and I just don’t have the time and space for a lot of things in my life anymore at this stage. Work usually takes up 80% of my available time :’) If you want to support me, do check out my IG @Jacktus.my

Until then, ciaos.

Update: 24/9/2024 Cant believe it but some of my followers (from 10 years ago) still recognize me at my market! Regrettably though I usually have to tell them that I’m not such a big succulent hobbyist like I used to be anymore. BUT BUT BUT if you ever have some questions about your succulents, feel free to drop a DM. I may or may not answer them though.

I still think that succulents are the most beautiful plant group ever- and am now open to keeping some especially when I’ve moved to a new place sometime in the future. For now though, because I’m living with my family. space is a problem, and the accessibility to tend to my plant takes a huge role in whether I get to enjoy keeping them. 

And yes, work has been hectic AF, and such is the adult life. I’m still keeping some whale fins, but most of the plants I had since a decade ago were unfortunately thrown away by my mother during her (literal) psychotic episode. I don’t think I can ever get over this, but maybe some day I hope I can grow back some plants that I truly love.

That’s all for now!
