Use Volume, Not Violence

Hii, here's more from our front bottoms 'verse boys. Please be nice to me. @batsbratsandbarbedwire said it was okay for me to just commit and I'm very nervous about it.

Steve gives his boyfriend Eddie a Claire’s makeover and Eddie gives his boyfriend Steve a Hot Topic makeover.

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

This is what I think about when people ask what the meaning of life is

Exposing myself now as the anon from this ask to announce, many moons later, that I did eventually get the OCD diagnosis. Among other diagnoses, none of which were surprising and all of which were quite validating. Anyway, SCS was part of the journey of me pursuing diagnosis and hopefully one day I can get treatment (ERP terrifies me) and I’m grateful to moments like this one where I felt like a little bit scared but not alone in my thought spiraling issues.

Plenty! Billionaires. Privatizing public resources. Book censorship. When daylight savings makes it pitch black outside and he’s the groggiest man in America trying to get up for work.

@hiei-harringtonmunson confirmed, lots he doesn’t like :)
