No One:

No one:

Literally my entire family:

*displays so many adhd tendencies*

*lives in chaos*

*it's full of love and laughter but we're also insane*

Me:

*the only one going to try and get a diagnosis*

Okay but in all seriousness none of us but the youngest ones have it as bad as me so it makes sense. But I'm just saying. If we all got psych evaluations, I'm pretty sure that only one of us and the two year old who's too young for a definite diagnosis anyway would remain undiagnosed with some form of neurodivergence

Maybe my mom but she has more subtle adhd tendencies and aphantasia.

Tbh, this is part of why I am intensely glad we're homeschooled. First off, we don't have to deal with any of the bull the rest of y'all get. Second off, as nd as we are? Some of us would be bullied, and I cannot guarantee that murders would not be committed.

... okay probably not murder but definitely assault. There are too many protective older siblings in this family.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?! DID YOU MENTION MY S O N?!

inspired by the ‘your afternoon was already ruined’ post

Death Star Stormtroopers: “Freeze!”

Han: (panicking, trying to come up with a lie): Woah there don’t shoot, uh, you can’t shoot us because—because this guy is Darth Vader’s son! You don’t want to be responsible for shooting Darth Vader’s own flesh and bone do you?”

Luke: *glares incredulously*

Stormtroopers: “That is the dumbest thing—”

Leia: (done at this point, absolutely done with this rescue, better than Han at lying) “Exactly! Why would we tell you something so phenomenally insane if it weren’t true! Why do you think Darth Vader is so obsessed with finding Rebels, huh? Call him he’ll tell you!”

Luke: (also done, much better than Han at lying): “Or you could just shoot us; I’m sure my father, Darth Vader, inventor of the lightsaber, would be thrilled to meet the men who killed his son and his son’s friends.” *waves lightsaber arrogantly*

Stormtrooper 1: “Maybe we should call this in. I mean—he’s got a lightsaber, so that’s—that’s Vader stuff anyway.”

Stormtrooper 2: “are you kidding me right now?”

Leia: *shoots them while they’re distracted*

Han: “…We’re friends?”

Tarkin: “The rebels said what? You incompetent fool, how could you buy such an absurd stalling—”

Vader: “My…son…”

Tarkin:

Tarkin: Oh fuck THIS.

So... Demetrius seems really cold here, yeah?

I'd like to make a case for it being the exact opposite. Demetrius is the one to go home on break, which suggests that he cares for his family more than his studies. I think that "Don't get your hopes up" is a big brother trying to protect the little one from heartbreak. Because this family deserves a little softness, some mutual support before their lives fall apart. After all, Donovan Desmond being a warmonger is going to have some consequences, and consequences for those kinds of things affect the whole family.

This reminds me of a song.

Andrew Peterson's one of my favorite artists and is up there with CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien in my eyes, so take this as a recommendation to check out this awesome singer/songwriter/ author

Check out the Rabbit Room, too, if you have the time, for more cool artists of all kinds.

May I have enough hope to sing in the night.

May I have faith even as my body fails me, and it feels like everything is unraveling.

May I have the strength to hold on even if the healing never comes in this lifetime.

Even when the sun goes down, even when clouds blot out the moon and stars, may the Fire I carry, given to me by the One who made all light, be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

Oh, okay! Offer of hugs is still open 😁🙃
