Wanted to wish everyone a happy pride and men's mental health month! Hope all my fellow queer people are staying safe and happy and all the guys who may be struggling out there, queer or not, have all the love and care they need to make it though whatever they may be doing through rn. You all are loved reguardless of who you are <3
Going to get a little serious now.
Before anyone starts any discourse in the comments, I don't care if you think one is more important than the other. They're both important. Especially when you realise there's a lot of overlap between male suicides and queer suicides. Uplifting one group to put the other down is, in my opinion, abhorrent behaviour. With the current state of the world, its more important than ever for us to care for one another. Empathy is our most powerful tool in this world, make sure you give yours freely to those who may need it.
Ah there we go. Seems someone's messed with my setup a bit, shoul-
...
-uc-
...
-astard. Oh, thank you Addy.
...
Alright folks, Barker here, how're you all doing. Yeah, I ain't dead. I know, suprises me too if I'm honest. But don't worry. It's gonna take more than some hairy fucker to keep me down.
...
Now, I bet someone out there wants an answer. This'll be a long one though, so buckle up.
...
...
Alright, all set? Got a warm cuppa something, maybe a snack? Alright alright, I'll start. I can practically hear your eyes rolling.
...
So, I was out on with some of our guys, even had a Sangheili tagging along, a couple of them around base now. Apparently the Infinity had a few of the Swords, and we've been seeing more survivors turn up, human and splitlip both.
...
Sorry Addy.
...
Now, annoyingly, not all of em are who they say they are either. Had a few Banished try and infiltrate Tremonious, Been a real shit show around here, although I'm sure most of you don't need reminding.
...
Anyway, I'm rambling. Where was I.. Oh right! Command had sent us out to check out a weird signal they'd been receiving, somewhere up ring. Standard job, turn up, look around, take some readings, back in time for pudding.
...
...
Made it about halfway before we were shot outta the sky.
...
...
I can still hear the pilo-... Rowley's, lasts words. She was so calm, even as the cockpit melted..
...
...
...
Most of us in the rear were ok. Banged up though, Frerick broke his tailbone, I found that out later.
...
Next thing I know we're booking it for the treeline, Banishees kicking up shards of glass as they strafed us.
...
Half of us made it.
...
The next bit is a story we all know too well. Running and hiding from Banished forces, fighting when you have no choice, blah blah blah.
...
To cut a long, and rather boring story short, Addy and Sarge managed to steal a Ghost from some sort of listening post the Banished had set up, while Frerick and I used it to radio for help. Shoulda seen us. 3 humans and a Sangheili tearing across the dirt on a single Ghost, Banished burning behind us. Like something out of a recruitment ad.
...
Course, what they don't show in those ads is how quickly you can loose you paddle on Shit Creek.
...
Obviously we did what we could to mask the signal, but the Banished heard enough to estimate out pick-up point. Last thing I remember is emptying my pistol at a Brute, then a white hot feeling in my neck. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in the Medical wing at Tremonious with a tube down my throat!
...
I'm recovering well Docs say, but it'll still be a little time before they let me make regular broadcasts again. Addy's keeping me company, helping me get everything set back up.
...
Apparently he carried me onto the Pelican after the Brute spike tore my neck open, helped "stem" the bleeding with one of those energy energy daggers some Elites carry. Ironically, it's probably gonna leave a bigger scar than the white hot rod of metal they pulled outta me. Docs even let me keep it! Got it strapped to my leg at the moment. My Lucky Charm.
...
No not you Addy
...
Yes Addy I'm very grateful you saved me.
...
I'm fine, you're worrying too much.
...
...
OK! Ok, I promise.
...
Alright folks, looks like story time is over, I'm being told I need to rest.
...
Keep yourselves safe out there, and look out for each other alright? We're all stuck here together after all.
...
I'll leave you with a Classic, and keep your ears to the waves.
Guys! Just dropping by to say i might post something gorey and bloody (it's regarding my zombie au!) so i suggest putting up a tw for that if ur not into it!
My tags will be "tw gore" and "tw blood"
And to be safe you can just filter "bkdk zombie au" tag if u really wanna refrain from seeing it!
I tested positive for covid this week. Lost my sense of smell a few days ago. Still can’t smell anything to this day. Low grade fever here and there and it hurts to blow my nose. But I’ve finally stopped blowing 50 times in a row now. Still not feeling to hot though.
Overall, getting better slowly everyday. I’ve had my covid shot, so this is about as bad as it gets. Again, I’m feeling a little better, still a little under the weather.
Went to Gintama Collaboration Cafe yesterday. The collab cafe is held at Animate Cafe Decotto Ikebukuro from August 26 until October 5, 2020. Due to the pandemic, they only allow take-out/cannot inside the cafe.
