Graffiti is traumatic?

[channaheve]

If you read what it said, you’d be traumatized. It was more... shocked, actually. Shocking.

[nicolesummers]

Oh no, that doesn’t sound good, why hasn’t people take care of it already? I admit I haven’t gone to the pet play park yet, but I can help whenever I have some free time, if that’s okay?

[channaheve]

Well it’s not up to me, I’m just saying I think they need volunteers because I don’t think anything has been done.

[channaheve]

So I experienced something slightly traumatic today that I still don’t know how to really... move on from seeing. I was walking me and my sister’s cats (don’t judge me, I love them) and I came across that pet play park and it still looks like a disaster. Not to mention I saw very horrifying kinkshaming graffiti all over the walls next to it. 

It’s sad that the Pet Play Association of Tampa hasn’t gotten the volunteers that it needs. So that’s why today I went in and signed up. Does anyone want to sign up with me?

You wanna know what’s awful?  Drop.

And you wanna know who’s currently dropping?  Me.  I never, ever thought I’d do this, but here I am.  Pathetic, and desperate.

[channaheve]

I’ve experienced drop only twice in my life. I would never recommend it. Has anyone helped you yet? I know there’s centers that are far less shady than the scene clubs that can really help people who need it.

Does anyone have any tips on how to fight insomnia? 

[channaheve]

Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Support your biological clock by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends.

Avoid naps. 

Limit caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine- if you smoke.

Avoid late meals.

Get regular exercise.

Do scenes, because you could be experiencing withdrawals. If you need help, please let me know I’d be more than happy to assist.

Hi, Channah! It seems like we’re new at this blogging website, so I can’t really tell you why I use it for, but I hope your first-hand experience with Tumblr goes well and you enjoy it! I’m Lola Guerrera, it’s really nice to meet you.

[channaheve]

It’s nice so far. There’s a lot of really great cats-- and it’s convinced my sister to get another cat so I think that’s a plus for me, right?

[justinbardell-blog]

Ahh, another year at Horizons University soon dawns upon us. I shall be here to teach you lovely young people where our country began. More happened than just Hamilton, I assure you. I’m looking forward to getting to know a new batch of students!

[channaheve]

What’s your favorite thing to teach, exactly? I don’t go to school anymore but I figured I’d ask! Though, I really liked European History-- do you only teach American?

For someone who prided themselves quite highly on their intellect, Abbey was more than a little blindsided by the suggestion. It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility, of course, and she could think of countless options that sounded far less pleasant than being in a legal claim with her sister. Frankly, the benefits seemed to outweigh the risks and she stared at their joined hands for several moments of consideration. Finally, she offered Channah a soft smile. ‹‹ You’re sure you want to do that?  ›› It was practically a rhetorical question but she was momentarily worried Channah was offering to placate her and the last thing she wanted was for her little sister to be legally stuck with her for the rest of their natural lives if she didn’t want to be.

‹‹ If you want to, I want to. We’ll have to get all of your stuff from mom and dad’s, but it should fit here. I’ve already got the guest room and everything.›› Truthfully, the more she considered the idea, the more pleasant it became— it was a hell of a lot better than having to be matched up with strangers willy nilly because of some ridiculous online market. ‹‹ You have to promise me you’re sure about it, though. I’m serious. ››  She schooled her features into a stern expression to cement her point. 

[channaheve]

Channah suggests it, sure, but she doesn’t actually expect her sister to go for the idea, but it’d be helpful for them. But her sister also deserves a good claim. Maybe they could make an agreement? She wasn’t sure. Nodding at the very seriously rhetorical question, the woman nods at her older sister. 

But there’s still hesitation. Being her sister’s Domme figure would be.. interesting. Strange. She’s wondering if Abbey is fully thinking this out or if she’s just thinking about them living together more than the actual claiming aspect.  ‹‹ But I’d still want you to make sure to be open to other Dominants or Switches.  ›› she tells her sister very abruptly.  ‹‹ If we do this and you find a Dominant or Switch somehow, I want you to go for it and tell me and I can annul our claim. ›› She pauses. Wait, wouldn’t that look bad? One strike against someone was still one strike. Maybe this isn’t the best idea.

‹‹ We could give ourselves a trial claim and we still have to go through a claiming therapist to sign up on us-- but I don’t want them to think we’re doing this just to avoid the law. ››

She figured more than enough people were going to do that.

Of course she’d seen the news— she’d heard of nothing but the news and she was frankly getting sick and tired of it. She was furious, on the one hand, and decidedly unable to do anything about it on the other; useless, was her most predominant feeling and compartmentalizing her feelings about things seemed to be the easiest means of working through her days without wanting to tear her hair out. ‹‹ Of course I’ve seen it… I’m not sure there’ll be anyone who hasn’t seen it. But keeping it on doesn’t change the way I feel about it, and it isn’t like I can… ›› She rolled her eyes, openly frustrated. ‹‹ It’s not like there are people lining up to claim me, Chan. If this is what I need to do, then I suppose it’s what I need to do. ››

She reached out to squeeze Channah’s shoulder gently, hoping the gesture would do something to ease the tension that was steadily building in her living room. ‹‹ I’m sorry they haven’t given you the option to take both classes, and that you have to do all of this. I know it’s bullshit. Maybe they’d let me teach you everything? That might be okay? ›› Abbey, as per usual, was far more concerned with Channah’s state of being with the new laws in place than with her own and every frantic mention of it from her sister practically set her teeth on edge.

[channaheve]

‹‹ I can claim you, ›› she signs, completely serious to her sister as she does it. She stares at her sister with curious eyes.  ‹‹ Claims don’t have to be romantic or anything, however I could claim you and I want to so that you can be safe, Abbey.. ›› Channah doesn’t want Abbey to be stuck and it also... sort of helped both of them. But she doesn’t want to bother her sister if she’s not interested. Lord would only imagine what their parents would say to the idea. But it would solve many of Channah’s issues (mainly... living with overprotective parents in the first place).

She reaches out to her sister’s hands and squeezes them lovingly so that her sister knows she’s there for her-- she wants Abbey to feel safe. It’s not fair and the both of them know that but it doesn’t also mean both of the girls have to be miserable. Though, in all honesty, that’s probably what’s going to sadly happen anyhow.

The woman just wants the best for her older sister. Was that so much to ask for?

To say Abbey was having a whirlwind of a night was something of an understatement— two beers hadn’t done much to soothe her and she’d been half-watching Planet Earth on Netflix when furious knocking signaled her little sister’s arrival. She blinked owlishly in the face of Channah’s furious signing, finally bringing her hands up to speak for herself,   ‹‹ Hey, hey. Slow down, buttercup, I’m not up to speed right now and I think maybe we can discuss whatever the government is doing to me a little more calmly, yeah? ››

She motioned towards the couch and loped over to it herself, curling up in one corner as she fixed her little sister with a curious look. ‹‹ What’s got you so up in arms, sweetheart? ›› She had a fairly good idea how to answer her own question, but giving Channah more time to decompress seemed like the best way to continue to have this conversation without complications.

[channaheve]

She’s not up to date on what was going on? Channah looks very flustered as she points to her sister’s TV-- which clearly is not on the news. ‹‹ They’re making it mandatory for non-claimed over 25 to be apart of this marketplace that-- you have to sign up to be paired with dominants that you might be compatible with! And people who aren’t in a claim over the age of 18 have to take classes  to learn how to be better at what they are! ›› She pauses before slumping a bit into her sister’s couch with a very angry noise of disapproval. This is scary for her. She doesn’t want to be apart of this- and it’s not like she can get out of the market place either, she’s almost 25 and she’s not attending school.

‹‹ Switches are forced to take the submissive class. Not the Dominant class. ›› She finally signs as a ‘matter of factly’ type way of communicating as her hands drop down into her lap with a frown appearing on her lips. She doesn’t like these new rules. She just hasn’t found the right Dominant yet, either. Or submissive. She has ideas, but she waits to hear her sister’s thoughts on the situation before suggesting it to her.

the news || roth sisters

The second that she read the news about the new rules, Channah doesn’t know what to do. She’s so worried. She also is worried about herself but that also doesn’t necessarily need to be focused on. Finding out that her sister, after texting her, is home, she quickly drives over to her apartment and hastily rushes up to the submissive’s apartment. They need to talk and she’s so worried. 

She doesn’t want Abbey to be upset or mistreated by anyone in this market. The second that her sister answers after her very serious and persistent knocking, she walks in signing abruptly and as fast as ever. ‹‹  I cannot believe they’re doing this! Do you think the government is really this stupid Abbey? ›› The Switch turns around to actually face her sister.  ‹‹ They can’t do that to you! ››

[subabbeyroth]

I know I just wanna make sure I get to see you! I need sister time to keep me sane while I try to sort out this new class, and it’s already got me in Stress City, USA. How about we pick one up tomorrow? Or next weekend if you want some time to prepare?

I’m sure they’d survive if we had a little furry friend. It’s not like cats are the most difficult animals in the world to take care of. 

[channaheve]

Oh gosh, you have to teach that new class, right? That doesn’t sound very fun at all. I hope you do well though. If you need help, let me know okay?

Do......... you think that our parents would be mad though?

[subabbeyroth]

You’ve got yourself a deal, little one. We’ll reconvene in a week, but you definitely have to come over some time in between so we can have a check-in. 

I mean, I could get a kitten but it could be your kitten— but it could live at my house. See? Problem solving. We could totally get a cat. 

[channaheve]

I’m definitely going to come over more than just once this week anyhow, especially if you get me a kitten!

YES! Okay, and then I could come over and take care of it while you’re gone at school. I don’t think our parents would mind too much!

I just… relate to them somehow, I suppose. I think they’re so cute and I adore them so much. I want a whole lot but I don’t think I have enough room in the house to do it.

[channaheve]

Please... don’t cry!! I do agree though, cats are very pure.
