Despite my silly tone this is a serious post / thread I’ve been avoiding making for longer than I should have. The TLDR is that my family needs to move, I am in debt, and getting a better credit will help with being approved for new places. More ⬇️

It’s hard to speak about relationships that you are not in emotionally, but I have been living with this man since I was 12. He wasn’t always this explosive, but it’s been a cycle of Normal Angry Rude Smooth Things Over for a long time now

I’ve seen my mom suffer. I’ve seen her love someone who doesn’t match her energy. He’s called her names you never call your partner even in anger. He’s called me and my brother names. He’s put his hands on both of them in a way that’s not police call material. He’s ex military so

even if we had at the time I don’t know what would have been done. It’s easy to gaslight yourself into thinking this will pass it was just one fight. But it hasn’t been. And if me and my brother weren’t living here I truly would fear for her physical safety

It’s hard to talk about because I am on the outside watching my mother. I know as the one in this relationship she’s harboring more pain than she’s ever vented to me. And we’ve had countless conversations ever since I was old enough to be a vent partner

And that’s also made some unhealthy patches to our relationship. We don’t have the money to just get up and leave which has left all of us walking on eggshells and being stressed and miserable. And I want us to be out of it. We’re all tired. We’re all tired of living like this

My goal is 7k which is not all of my debt but would be enough for one, my credit card which has a pretty nice limit, and would help with short term bills and maybe a hotel stay if we need it immediately. All reposts would help a lot. We are very very low on options without money

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

[json-derulo]

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

[junefrombug]

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

[niltia]

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

[teaboot]

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

[yellowthundercloud]

I clicked it fully persuaded it wouldn't be real. It is. I feel reverse rickrolled whatever my convictions are dead now

[brightlotusmoon]

Oh, it's a real article, they're not kidding.

[nellasbookplanet]

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

[quietwingsinthesky]

did i tell you guys i failed at being sexually harassed at work today?

[quietwingsinthesky]

okay so, guy at work, who i find out afterwards is famous at this place for being a sex pest, comes up and starts with what i also learn is his favorite opener to conversations where he’s going to be a sex pest, namely: “Do you know where the term ‘blow job’ comes from?”

and here he made his first fatal error. his moment of hubristic sex pesting. because of course i know where the term blow job comes from, i love learning about sex and the history of sexual terms! i know so much about oral sex that i could write a book on it!

his second error: approaching a little autistic freak with what he intended to be an uncomfortable sex question that would make me feel weird and gross. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I Have Never Misjudged A Man’s Intentions So Incredibly In My Life. because i did not realize he was trying to harass me. because i love talking about sex facts, albeit not usually at work. unless. someone prompts me. my coworkers are the kind of people who are generally online enough to know terms, but not exactly what they mean, and they realized they could ask me a while back and get good answers without the resulting awkwardness because i do not experience shame. i am primed to answer questions like the one he has proposed.

So I Answered It.

and well, really, what happened is that I began answering it, then realized the answer required a bit more context. I mean, you can’t just say “oh, well, the term first appears in writing in the 1940s” without first explaining that ‘blow’ by itself already had sexual connotations for centuries, and then, really, are we talking about the origin of the term or the origin of the act. and well we have a ton of literature and art depicting fellatio throughout human history, did you know a lot of it was men performing it on other men? oh, that reminds me, there are a multitude of latin words for oral sex performed on penises, and hold on let me quote you the entirety of catullus 16 from memory and explain it’s fascinating insights into the roman world of homosexuality-

i do not know how to turn any of this ^ off, by the way. i’m sure some people out there have a switch that disables their infodumping mid-speech. i do not. and i also didn’t realize he wasn’t looking for a real answer until my other coworker explained so hours later. he could not excuse himself from the conversation he started, and i made a conservative man at least 30 years older than me to listen to my catullus recitation. i will sodomize and facefuck you, indeed.

anyway, i think i got a bad grade in being sexually harassed. my pro tip is maybe don’t start with what a very autistic individual will misconstrue as you earnestly asking them to explain sex to you. the special interest shield will cause splashback damage.

Can’t overstate how much i appreciate writers who post “controversial" fics in fandoms made up predominantly by people who hate acknowledging taboo subjects. avg of 30 people will want to read your fic, even fewer leave kudos/comments, and theres a high likelihood tht someone will make an adverse comment about how theyre “disgusted” they were “forced” to see the pairing/tags while they were scrolling, but th fics still prevail. thank you

Edgeworth wasn’t expecting Wright to suddenly barge into his office, truth be told. Not after all these months of complete, void silence. There was something in waiting for one’s efforts to pay off, waiting for so long that one stops, in fact, waiting, but rather keeps trying mechanically, devoid of hope for it to ever work. And now, he was put to the ultimate test: would his apparent affection be strong enough to survive the turmoil Wright was going through?

I strongly recommend checking it out. Firstly, because it's simply great. Second, the events of this work take place shortly after the comic.

I thank Paulie for her art (I hope that's alright for me to draw inspiration from it <3), and, as always, @tealvenetianmask for patiently betaing this little gay disaster story.
