Some Bella x Rosalie fics that are my favorite

Heart made of glass by thirteenohtwo

 Her love is peace.

Your Soul (Holding On)  by ForForever19

‘The house looks exactly the same. Maybe a little more worn and the garden overgrown, but the years since she was last here seem to have frozen the house in time, and Bella feels sick to her stomach just at the sight of it. On the flight, she managed to convince herself she was ready for this, but she’s second-guessing herself now. She’s not ready. She doesn’t want to walk into that house and - ’ OR Bella arrives in Forks a year late.

     Forget You by ehemond

Bella didn’t want to be at her birthday party in the first place, but the Cullens insisted and now she’s here. She doesn’t know who these strangers are, crowding around her and talking about vampires? She really hopes she’s not about to become someone’s dinner. But that blonde goddess is really pretty and also really strong. She might be okay with being her’s…

Starving for the sun by cuinaminute

Bella doesn’t love Edward. She’s running out of time. The flowers are becoming more frequent. Her chest keeps tightening and it feels like she can’t breathe. She doesn’t want to drown.

 …and they met at a fish and tackle shop by In_this_life_and_the_next

Bella was turned into a werewolf over a hundred years ago. After everyone who ever knew her is dead, she finally returns to Forks.

What if Bella was a hot lesbian werewolf with questionable, lumberjack fashion taste, who worked part time in a fish and tackle shop?

What if Rosalie worked as a mechanic in town, has had a pretty fun century being an incredibly hot independent vampire, then walks into a fish and tackle shop by accident?

What if Rosalie got that family she always wanted? What if Charlie got INCLUDED in the supernatural craziness that Bella always gets tangled in? What if Bella finally found a place to rest her head, safe and happy and LOVED, without having to worry that her soulmate isn’t immortal too?

The introductory “Hate” monologue from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, with AM voiced by the TikTok TTS

[mtsainthelens]

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

This is one of my favorite monologues in all of fiction, and I think the voice legitimately, unironically adds to the experience. With the modern connotation we now have surrounding this voice of faux cheeriness, machine generated empathy, machine generated “humanity”, to hear that voice declare utter despisal of life on earth for damning it… its poetry. It’s the only remake of I Have No Mouth we need.

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

I'll admit to being curious about the video itself. I'd like to see what she's saying, and in what tone.

how the fam find out Jason's still alive

Dick, looking through old photo books: aw, it's such a shame Talia didn't tell B about you until recently Dami, I'd have loved to see photos of you as a baby

Damian: ? I can get baby photos if that is required in this family

Dick: what, how? Talia doesn't seem like the baby-book kind of woman, no offense.

Damian: She was not, however after my brother was brought out of the Lazarus pit he was given a few old cameras in an attempt to make his mind focus on something not harmful to himself and settle down. He took a lot of photos of our family during his training.

Dick:

Bruce:

Both, simultaneously: your what now?

-later-

Damian, walking into the room with an old box: Alright so I broke into his current safe house while he was working and took one of the boxes. I believe these should suffice for your 'baby books'

Bruce: hold on you broke into his- your brother lives in Gotham??? there's a trained league assassin working in this city and you didn't tell me? Damian we need to talk about your habit of withholding important infor-

Dick: Bruce.....

Bruce: -mation. what?

Dick: look at the.... photo...

Bruce, leaning over to see a photo of Jason Todd holding baby Damian up at the head of a meeting table like in the lion king, red smear on his forehead, while Ra's Al Ghul stares at them both from his seat looking Tired Of Jason's Shit™:

Damian, peering at the photo: yes, Todd got quite good with the timers on those cameras, he took many a photo holding me like that. I believe it was a special campaign designed to get on grandfather's nerves enough that he'd agree to watch the movie with us.

Bruce:

Dick:

*screaming*

bonus:

Tim: you know some of these photos are actually really good, like the angles and tones you used

Jason: you steal Robin, I steal photography.

here's some more unsolicited adult advice as someone in her 30s who knows there are a lot of twenty somethings and teens that follow her: if you're trying to build a new habit you really want, and are struggling, you have to break it down to the smallest building block possible. If you're failing, you haven't thought small enough. I know it's possible to hear stories of people who just snapped into new life mode one day by "just deciding", but truly what's happening there is a confluence of events and experiences that force the brain into some sort of epiphany. You cannot will an epiphany. It'll never work. For most times of your life, you will need to build habits intentionally, and that means not working against yourself and to set micro goals. like laughably tiny goals. because once that easy tiny goal is met, you can build off it, tiny goal after tiny goal until you reach your big goal.

so for example, if you want to be a morning person that gets up at ass crack dawn so that you can work out, eat brekkie, shower, and get to work at a leisurely pace, and you're not that person because you will hit your snooze button 800 times, you have to get the big picture goal out of your head. think smaller. "I want to get up 15 minutes earlier than I normally do." If you can't do that, make it 5 minutes. "I want to cook breakfast every day" hell no too big. "I want to eat something, anything, before I leave the house" hell yeah, fantastic. When you go to the grocery store to make sure there are things in the house for breakfast, if you keep buying bagels and microwave sandwiches that you ignore, you gotta think smaller. SMALLER. What's something so easy to eat that you'll never say no to. Is it a yogurt? Is it a handful of grapes? Is it a hostess ho ho? is it hot cheetos? FORGET the big picture of the fantasy put-together woman preparing a full nutritious meal that you'd be proud to admit to. Think only of the smallest goal you can achieve. If you know you can't say no to an ice cream sandwich, put a ton of ice cream sandwiches in your freezer and have one for breakfast every day until it's so instilled in you that you gotta get up to eat something you can start diversifying.

It sounds like, from the lack of habit place, that must take forever. But really it doesn't take too long to form the habit once the discipline kicks in. the trick is that you have to give your brain something easy to become disciplined to. If it's too hard, think easier and smaller. No one has to know. Literally no one in the gd world has to know that for 4 weeks when you were 22 you had an ice cream sandwich for breakfast every day. who cares. If it gets you eating oatmeal with fresh fruit in a few months who cares. you did it, yay. smaller, easier. if you can't do it, think smaller and easier. smaller!! EASIER!!! You are not thinking smaller and easier enough. break your brain thinking how small and easy you can go. SMALLER. EVEN SMALLER, SIS.

And this is exactly why they hate fact checking.

[jedi-bird]

Fire trucks are not being turned away because of emissions. They are being sent first to a checkpoint to get an inspection and maintenance check, because traveling long distances can cause things to come loose on fire trucks. Most are cleared immediately for use; those that aren't are fixed and sent out to the fire lines as soon as possible. Why is this important? Because a fire truck breaking down while on the line puts everyone in danger. If a truck breaks down, the crew could be over taken by the flames and die. I've seen fires where it's happened and I never want to see it again. No help will be turned away, the state just wants to make sure they are safe.

[bowiecadmium]

Oregonian here. The state fire marshal is fucking PISSED he’s having to waste time and energy explaining this. He’s so mad he’s had to take resources from his office to correct this information over and over. And he’s been very vocal about that. A lot of Oregonians are pretty fucking pissed too.

The inspection was standard and completely welcomed and planned for by both California and Oregon.

Fuck the people who do this. We have enough issues with conflagrations in both of our states we don’t need this too.

✌️Please help us... We face death every day in the shadow of the war in Gaza

Hello, I am Ghada

In Gaza, we live day by day, but every day is becoming more difficult. The cruel war that left us no choice but to live in a worn-out tent, constantly exposed to winds and storms, our suffering increases day by day. We have no safe shelter, no food, no water, and even our most basic medical needs we cannot get.🤍🙏

I am a mother of a baby with a critical health condition. His condition is getting worse day by day, and the more I look into his eyes, the more I feel my heart breaking because I can't give him the treatment or the food he needs to survive. My husband also suffers from a severe war injury that made him unable to move, and his suffering increases my anxiety and sadness.

In these difficult circumstances, we have become hopeless. There is no food, no water, no money to buy the simplest necessities of life, and diseases are spreading around us due to poor hygiene and deplorable sanitary conditions. The shelling is continuing, and we do not know when the next shelling will come. Fear fills our hearts, but hope in God still pushes us to stay steadfast.

Now we urgently need your help. Every donation, no matter how small, will have a huge impact on our lives. The money raised will help us buy food, water and treatment for my children and my husband, and will help us provide what it takes to survive.

We know that there are many families who are going through the same difficult conditions, but we appeal to you to extend a helping hand to us now. We know that this is worth nothing compared to what we need, but there is nothing greater than the hope that you give us with your help.

If you can donate or if you know someone who can help us, we urgently need your support now more than ever.

Please, don't leave us in our fight for survival. We trust in God first and then in your support, which may be a reason to save our lives.

Susie Benes: "From Blood, Wings” (2021)

[transheadcrab]

EACH ADDITION TO THIS POST MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD

[punkrorschach]

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.

[transheadcrab]

thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,

[bomberqueen17]

oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from Boston, with the strongest Boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and occasional organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer.

His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

“You’d be amazed,” he said to us, shaking his head a little, “how many guys would just straight lie. Like, you think I’m asking you that question to be cute? Nah man you’re gonna have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. You really gotta be chill with spiders if you’re gonna work a cranberry harvest.”

[antiocheanism]

happy international workers day to the cranberry bog spiders

[indigobluerose]

I want any cranberry farmers reading this to know, really truly know, that “are you cool with spiders” is not a specific enough question for this situation.

[pathsofoak]

How do I describe a tired person? I got ‘dark circles under the eyes’ but it kind of stops there.

[pathsofoak]

I mean “hasn’t slept in four days” tired by the way. Like straight up the hallucinating kind of sleep deprived.

[pathsofoak]

Found what I was looking for!

This website has a whole page dedicated to physcial descriptors of certain emotions, including tiredness and exhaustion!
