Last song: The Minute I Saw You by John Parr

Currently watching: alternating between Silo, which I LOVE it is freaking awesome, and Dark, which I have to concentrate more on because it is in German and the English dub sucks

Currently reading: I'm kinda in a fanfic mood right now. I'm wanting to go back and read some of my favorite Sonny fics (this one by @svucarisiaddict is an absolute fav or mine). Also, if anybody has some good Buck from 911 x reader fic recommendations, lemme know because I am very much interested 😏

Current obsession: the color lavender, some reason I want to make it my entire personality lol

Currently working on: my niece's birthday presents, and I only have one more weekend to sew them 😬

Currently wearing: tank top and booty shorts because it is HOT tonight 🥵 #fucksummer

Favorite flower: dahlias 😍 specifically the white ones that are tipped with lavender. This week my boss brought me a bouquet of dahlias his wife grew and it made my super shitty week so much better.

I have to share this dialogue that went down at my work today after I came into my manager's office and had a toddler-level tantrum because my coworker had pushed me to my limit. Like stamping my feet and screeching levels of frustration.

Manager: I know it won't make it feel better, but he is not even worthy to be stressed over by you. It's sink or swim here, and you're swimming ahead of everyone while these losers sink.

Me: But these losers keep floating to the top 😫 Manager: Yeah, because they're DEAD BODIES. Don't let [coworker] win! Kill him and bury him in the ground!!

Hearing that was so cathartic and absolutely made me feel better 🤣

Sonny Carisi Enough

July has not been a month for the weak. This came to me and had to be written. I hope you guys enjoy my first Sonny fic in wayyy too long. Thank you @polkadotpenguin16 for being an amazing human and a better friend.

Sonny could sense something was wrong with you immediately. It didn’t take a genius to realize, anyone who cared enough to notice would. You were a messy person- not dirty- just sprawled everywhere. It was something that had taken Sonny some time to get used to, but for the most part it didn’t bother him anymore. So, it had taken him off guard a little to find that you were an emotional cleaner. And not just a straighten-up emotional cleaner. No, you were moving all the furniture and scrubbing every inch of a room kind of emotional cleaner.

And right now you were on your knees scrubbing the divots of the kitchen floor tiles. You didn’t even look up when he entered the room. Sonny made the informed choice to take both his socks and shoes off and stay on the far side of the island to gain your attention. The one time he had stepped on your wet floor when you were like this was more than enough to keep him from doing it again.

He took a moment to get a rough guess of how concerned he should be. Just from looking at you, it didn’t seem too bad. The harsh scrubbing made him think that you were probably angry. A rough day at work. Or maybe you were mad at him. This was the third night in a row he had come home over an hour late. You had become pretty good at letting him know when you felt like work was consuming the time that your relationship needed and deserved.

“Baby?” You stop scrubbing but refuse to look at him. Sonny lets the silence hang in the air for a minute before trying again. The likelihood of it being him was increasing by each breath that left his lungs. He tried again. “Rough day, sweetheart?” You just sigh, tapping your fingers absentmindedly against the tile before finally looking up at him. Your eyes were rimmed in red, and while you were not currently crying, Sonny had no doubt it had been recently. Your cheeks were still tear-stained.

Sonny didn’t hesitate to close the space between you, crouching down. He cupped your cheek, pushing back the locks of hair that had escaped your messy bun and were dried to your cheeks. “What happened?” His voice was concerned but firm in its expectation of an answer.   

“Why is nothing I ever do good enough?” The words floored Sonny. It cut through his chest like shrapnel. A scalding mix of emotions warring for dominance. He was completely heartbroken for you, but also a level of pissed off that he hadn’t felt in a long time. He wasn’t stupid, he knew where these thoughts were coming from. Sonny carefully grabs you, pulling you up to your feet. You don’t resist. 

“It is- you are.” Your eyes are still downcast, and  Sonny bends, trying to get into your line of sight while putting gentle pressure on your jaw, urging you to raise your head.  Hey, hey, hey, look at me.” Moisture burns your eyes as you meet his gaze. “You are. I love you. You do so much, love so hard, give all of yourself to everyone and everything you do. And I love you for it. And I also hate it. Hate that it makes you feel this way.” Tears roll down your cheeks, and you don’t manage to catch the sob as it burns through your chest. 

Loud and ugly.

He gently wipes the tears from your cheeks, both hands cupping your face as he presses a lingering kiss on your forehead. Before tugging you into his arms. You melt into the protective embrace, fisting the delicate material of his shirt as an anchor as you fall into the dip pit of your emotions, letting them baptize you before washing them clean.

[polkadotpenguin16]

That was the most gentle, grumpy slap, like he really doesn't want to hurt it 😆 definitely NOT giving me any thoughts....

Can I also say I'm obsessed with his hair this episode? The little swoop 😍 his barber probably tried something new and now it's driving him nuts, meanwhile I'm over here just drooling 😏

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[polkadotpenguin16]

Hey Bestie, Get To Know Me!

@the-real-punk-rock!! Tagged me in this many MANY months ago, and i JUST now found it in my drafts 🤦‍♀️ so sorry!!a

What is the origin of your blog name?

It is a combination of my favorite things - polka dots, penguins, and my lucky number is 16 - and I randomly came up with it on a whim lol. I had an anon suggest that I was a saucy spotty penguin, and I think that's the funniest and best thing anyone has ever said to me lol

What’s your "I will always order this" food?

My absolute favorite food in this entire world is sushi, and I will eat it every chance I get. Not even fancy sushi, I'm happy with the cheap stuff. At those conveyor belt restaurants, I just pull random plates of sushi and eat it without even checking what it is. I have yet to find one I haven't liked lol. Spicy california roll is probably my favorite tho.

What’s your overused emoji?

😆, but lately I've been dropping a lot of 🤦‍♀️s

What’s your current comfort show/movie/book?

My comfort show is Manifest - I recently watched it again and had forgotten it had been a comfort show. I don't know why, it just gives me all the happy, cozy, everything-is-gonna-be-fine feels.

What’s the last thing you hyperfixated on?

So I really like databases. I built a really fancy one to organize my favorite fics. I can search and sort them in any which way I choose, including types of smut 🫣 I spent HOURS setting everything up, just cuz I love databases and being able to find fics I haven't read in years.

What’s an oddly specific thing that brings you joy?

Socks. A really nice ball of yarn. Being able to find the perfect thing to watch while you eat.

What’s something you loved as a kid that you secretly love now?

I was a stuffed animal kid, I had an ungodly amount of them. I got rid of most of them a couple years back, but I never really got over how comforting they are. I am the type of person to utterly melt if you give me a teddy bear.

What’s your phone wallpaper right now?

My baby niece wearing the sun hat I made her that looks like a duck 🐤 😍

Are you a morning person, night owl, or something else entirely?

Night person. I like that it's quiet, it's not rushed, and nobody else is awake and I'm completely by myself.

Lastly, if you work, what is your work profession? and do you like it?

I am a web and graphic designer for my local government, currently specializing in digital ADA-compliance. I wouldn't say I like it, but I don't hate it. I think it would be apt to say that I don't mind it. It pays the bills, gives me good benefits, I'm friendly with most of my colleagues, and most days it doesn't make me mad, tho it's really stressful at the moment due to a big project with a short turnaround time. If I were to do it all again tho, I think I would've chosen a different field like database administration.

Hmm okay, who else can I tag today 🤔 @plaidbooks @adarafaelbarba @imyselfamstrange @theraccoonoffanfics
