So I’m hoping to make a special something for every part of the weekday, so far we’ve got Bookworm Wednesday, and now ladies and gentlemen, I’m kicking off a Trope Tuesday! Five more days to go! 

Every Tuesday, I’ll gather fics that fall under a certain category or theme, some stories will be all about that trope, others will just carry a hefty amount of it, all elements will be from our lovely whump wonderland of course...  And hey! The door’s open for your requests, so if you have a trope in mind you’d like to know about, let me know and I’ll search it up for the next Trope Tuesday ;)

So without further ado, the first Trope Tuesday will be: Fever! Probably that one theme which gives us all those butterflies we love so much.

You’ll notice that most of the below are from Supernatural, I must admit this fandom is the largest and most creative when it comes to proper H/C fanfics! Anyways, enjoy!

6: What are you looking forward to in the next week?

           ~seeing people at school that I haven't seen for the past two weeks, but actually just Madison cause I don't have other friends (and also certain hotties cough cough lilymadisonbrycereesparkerriver cough)

17: What were you doing at 12:30 this afternoon?

           ~since it's past then I'm going with tomorrow afternoon and that's shreddin some gnar with my babe

20: What would you name your future daughter?   

            ~I've always really loved the name Alexandra because it can be shortened to Alexander or Alexa or Alex or Andy or Lexi or Ali and that gives her a lot of options (especially gender wise) and I like that a lot. plus it's super royal sounding and badass and come on. 

66: Were your last three kisses from the same person?

Argh, I started looking into the mechanism behind how anti-nausea medicines works, and I fell into that internet wormhole (snail sex!). Reading about antagonists and agonists reminds me of the biological psychology course that thought I didn't care about (because brain biology is my enemy...) and thus, did poorly in. Also, I didn't always perfectly understand it, which pissed me off because I pride myself on easily being able to figure out stuff. Really, I'm just a coward who avoids real complexities and hard work. I'm not even that smart. I don't know where I got off making everyone think I was intelligent these past few years. Maybe I'm insightful and creative, but it stems from madness, not intelligence. Once I wrote on our dry erase board: I am not an expert on anything. I am a crazy person. (For the record, I use the word crazy the way I use queer-a re-appropriation of a derogatory term).

Where was I going with this? I don't know, but I want to watch the episode of Parks where Leslie goes on the date with the MRI tech. Personally, I'd be ridiculously turned on if someone mri-ed my brain and then looked at it with me--even better, an fmri. So basically I need a neuroscientist as a girlfriend. I would seriously seek out a brain scan if I didn't know exactly what was causing the constant headaches, dizziness and nausea. If I didn't know about the "shock" my nervous system is experiencing, I'd be freaked out about waking up with headaches, but nope, this hell has a reason. Ugh, I went looking for that Parks episode, and I had trouble locating it because I forgot the contours of the plot. It was odd that it comes right before the dinner party episode. Why did Ann set Leslie up if she was dating Justin? The mri tech incident helped Ann see she should let Les have Justin, and there's implied time passage between the episodes. It took me a few moments to remember that. See. Not smart. As a side note, I love the line in the beginning of Leslie's House where Leslie says that this fish reminds her of her mother because it is being with-holding. I have a theory of Leslie's personality that stems from her mother's with-holding-ness. I can ramble about that when I feel better (which may never happen--there are instances of people who have permanent damage), and my hands are more responsive to my thoughts. I've made so many typos because my mind is like whoosh-y.

End of post. In her infinite inconsiderateness, my mother offered me oreos (which don't exist probably) while I was searching for anti-nausea medicine. I feel like I'm about to keel over, but I'll still take the oreo, honestly. I was at Wal-Mart earlier, and I couldn't find the bite-sized oreos, which are infinitely better than the normal-sized ones. I wonder if crushing them has the same effect? Idk. If you mri an oreo, what is inside said cookie? More Oreo? We'd have to run the scan to find out!
