Whump Recs

I am having a "argument" with the advice my friend is getting from a realtor about painting their house prior to moving.

I will admit to having a deep loathing to white/sterile, especially when literally everything is white or cold tones - white trim, white appliances, white walls, white carpet, white cabinets, gray floors. But it's because the vibe I get is that whoever lived there last thought of it as only temporary, and never bothered to change the colors from the builders grade paint, and if you didn't like it enough to make it at least somewhat your own, why should I pay more than half a million dollars for it?

Caveats to this: I live in a part of the USA where the house behind me that exploded and burned to the ground sold for 250k, wreckage still there.

No house, including one that was built on a boulder that you rode a pirated mining car down some self-installed tracks half a mile to get to, has been on the market for more than 2 weeks in the last 6 years in the surrounding 200 mile radius

The house in question is in a debatable school district, but only because the next town over is the highest rated in the state and everything else is obviously going to fall short.

These are the colors that are "too much" for the realtor:

From left to right: living room, 2 options for the hallways/connecting space, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen.

Ooh very good question. My first thought was Covert Affairs 1x11. Ben is recovering after being shot and he and Annie get attacked. It's pretty good. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/658708806742818816/covert-affairs-2x01-annie-protects-ben-who-is

The Mentalist 6x07 kind of. After the explosion, Director tries to kill Jane but Lisbon interrupts before he can. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/684867173862244352/the-mentalist-6x07

Murdoch Mysteries 12x18 is perfect for this. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/776324446167416832/murdoch-mysteries-12x18-darkness-before-dawn-part

Angel 3x17 when Angel tries to smother Wesley. I don't have a gifset of this to share but trust me it's good.

Season 2 episode 2 and 3 (I think) of Dark Winds - Jim Chee is shot by an assassin and is then again attacked by the same guy while he's in the hospital

Scandal season 4 episode 20 - Jake Ballard is stabbed and left for dead, brought to a underground hospital (it's not a real hospital, it's one of those sketchy "we patch you up and don't tell the cops" places) and is almost killed by the same guy who stabbed him in the first place

X Files season 5 episode 19 - Mulder is committed to the mental hospital and is attacked by the creature only he can see that landed him there to begin with.

I put off writing this for the last twelve hours, but I have no choice now, and I can't sugarcoat it. I was braced to move into my car indefinitely tomorrow, with my plan to park at various McD's, Dunkin's, and the Barnes & Noble in town, hanging out inside so I could have bathroom and electricity access, to keep my phone charged. Had a wee errand to run today, but my car wouldn't start. Long story short? I can't move my car anywhere now because the alternator died. Estimates for replacement & labor are $500-$1,000. So basically, I'm screwed.

I got two nights grace from a relative who can't really afford it, to allow me a couple nights more in a room before I'm out on the street. There's no way I can live in my non-working car in the motel parking lot. To try to walk to the nearest public restroom as needed is out of the question with my heart condition, let alone the heat. I'm nearly out of time and nearly out of hope. So here I am again, begging for the kindness of strangers--honestly, I'm so worn down by the Struggle to Survive, there are moments I just want to lay down, fall asleep, and not wake up.

Hey, but don't worry, I could never take my own life. First, because as I'm sure I've mentioned, I'm the most stubborn b*tch that you might ever meet. And more importantly, there's this quote that has stuck with me my whole life since reading it in my teens, from Samwise Gamgee in The Two Towers:

"...but where there's life, there's hope..."

Yeah, a Hobbit's wisdom. Tolkien's wisdom. Keeping me hanging on by a silver thread.

Anyway, if anyone can help, I'm setting the goal at $600, fingers crossed the job can get done, and soon, for less. Amen, Lord. AMEN. And bless anyone that answers this plea!

$0/$600

Tagging in the hope that with more reblogs this message will reach a few people who can help (and any amount does help).

Synopsis: Sending a middle-school teacher with epilepsy light-years into deep space without his medication was, in retrospect, a terrible idea.

Luckily, Rocky is fantastic at detecting them and protecting Grace.
