When I Was Training To Be A Battered Women’s Advocate, My Supervisor Said Something That Really Blew

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

It's sad that they removed all the Instagram posts

Cute Angel & Husk Instagram interactions:

image

Husk’s first post on Instagram, Angel lovingly asks for a picture with him as well. Husk’s response? “😾” but… not a no?

Angel, looking completely exhausted after a long day, complains about his hunger-

image

Valentino is quick to point out in the comments that he forgot about Angel completely, so Angel asks to be picked up again as well as bring some food because he’s starving.

Rat man reluctantly agrees to after he’s done filming, but he wouldn’t bring food because he already ate. Angel begs again, but to no response. So I’ll take that as a no.

Cut to Angel’s next post—

image

> Husk got Angel food <

Husk was the one who went out of his way to get Angel something to eat.

Look at Husk’s face and tell me that isn’t the typical tsundere ‘It’s not like I like you or anything, b-baka!!’ look.

The situation probably went down like this:

Husk: “Here."🙄😾

*Shoves food in Angel’s arms*

Angel: "Huh? For me?? Husky you shouldn’t have~💖”

Husk: “Hmph. I-It’s not that I care or anything, don’t read too much into it! I just happened to buy extra. Don’t think you’re special, w-whatever just fuck off already🖕.”

okayyy maybe not exactly like that but I can imagine 😌

Angel of course is grateful for this considerate gesture, especially coming from someone like Husk—So much in fact he continuously teased Husk about having a good time together.

image

But this goes to show how much Husk cares about Angel’s well-being and isn’t in is own little world despite pretending he couldn’t give a fuck.

image

I meeean Husk didn’t have to make a whole ass post gushing about the fact his crush gave him a ticket to his private show but.. 🤭

image

Unfortunately though due to Husk’s heavy drinking he ended up passing out before he was able to go to Angel’s show. However it actually seemed like he wanted to go? Husk didn’t shrug it off like, “it’s whatever” instead “Shit”, he genuinely seems regretful he missed it.

image

But because he feels guilty about missing the show, he allows himself to make it up to Angel by watching their son Fat Nuggets.

Now despite Husk not being “a fuckin babysitter!” he still chose to watch Nuggets while Angel went out in order to make it up to him. He didn’t have to, but he did anyway. Took care of him pretty well though, despite Nuggets being “a pain the ass” letting the pig eat literally all the cherries and limes.

image

I mean I dunno about you but this is some domestic co-parenting bliss right here. mhm.

Honestly if anything Angel is testing out to see how good of a dad Husk would be to Fat Nuggets change my mind. Angel could have asked a more responsible person but he chose the love of his life the drunk cat out everyone else to watch his beloved baby.

image

Husk wants some sort of reimbursement for his troubles and Angel points out that watching the pig was the favor he owed him but Husk complains though, asking Angel if he knows how hard it is to get the drink materials in hell. Angel gushes about the fact Husk uses his first emoji, and that he’s willing to pay him back for his troubles with a private show just for him❤️

Husk declines the offer of course but in a “…I’m not doing that.” sort of way, see now imagine him trying to hide his embarrassing blushing face while typing that out. 

(Also he allows the nickname daddy but not Husky…k)

Angel acts a bit offended claiming he’s worth it and Husk’s response is just “Jesus fuckin Christ…” but not denying it??

He’s not shutting him down completely, or telling him to fuck off—he’s just saying no to the sexual stuff in the most unconvincing manner. Which leads us to the most jaw dropping conclusion.

Angel Dust asks Husk go grab some shakes with him instead, and Husk actually agrees.

It’s literally a date.

Now I wanna take this moment to talk about why this is so important and special.

Every time Angel has made any sort of sexual comments/advances towards Husk either on the show or Instagram, Husk shuts it down. Because he doesn’t want Angel for his body, he doesn’t just want sex from him or to become some fuck buddy like Angel assumes everyone wants from him.

In fact it seems like they’re both building up a genuine relationship between them from what we’ve seen from the posts, I feel like Husk doesn’t to ruin it by sleeping with him. They seem to be getting closer and much friendlier than from what we’ve seen from pilot as of right now, but I believe Husk is still hesitant because he’s terrified of the idea of love, being loved, again. So he keeps shrugging Angel off like a thorn in his thigh when in reality Angel is the closest chance he has at love again. But due to a horrible past, he drowns his sorrows in alcohol which leaves him closed up.

He’s in denial of his buried feelings he’s hid away because drinking is much easier than facing your harsh reality and emotions. Which is why it’s up to Angel to break down these walls he’s built up. To prove to Husk he’s actually serious about him–So far Angel has taken serious initiative to show Husk he’s interested in him, not backing down even when Husk tells him to fuck off.

As it’s much easier to tell someone to fuck off than it is to admit you have feelings for them.

However instead of rejecting Angel’s milkshake date invitation, Husk accepts.

He’s opening up to the idea of having someone close again, he’s letting someone be close to him.

It’s important for both of them to experience love before sex with each other. Angel probably has never had sex with someone “out of love” and Husk had “Lost the ability to love years ago” which is why they both need to learn what it truly means to love someone before stepping into the bounds of physical intimacy. It’s why its makes it all the more special for them. 

THE DATE

They end up going on the milkshake date, things turn a bit messy than romantic—but hey look at fat nuggets cute lil tongue (´・(oo)・`)

Angel straight up said “💖🕷️🐷😺💖”

It’s official they’re a family

“…I suppose no one truly admits the existence of another person. One might concede that the other person is alive and feels and thinks like oneself, but there will always be an element of difference, a perceptible discrepancy, that one cannot quite put one’s finger on. There are figures from times past, fantasy-images in books that seem more real to us than these specimens of indifference-made-flesh who speak to us across the counters of bars, or catch our eye in trams, or brush past us in the empty randomness of the streets. The others are just part of the landscape for us, usually the invisible landscape of the familiar.”

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

My town is gone.

If you’ve been watching the noise and paying attention to California, you’ve heard about the Camp Fire.

My Town Is Gone.
My Town Is Gone.
My Town Is Gone.

In a matter of hours, the fire jumped to 20,000 acres. This morning it reached 70,000. My town of Paradise, where I’ve lived my entire life, was consumed entirely. Very little containment has been reached and the situation is absolute hell.

My house was one of the first to go.

My mom and my sisters and I barely got out, in separate cars, and we got separated for 10 hours. My mom and little sister were stuck in Paradise with all my pets in the flames until my stepdad was able to get gas to them so they could get out. My cat was lost, and I personally was only able to grab an extremely small amount of my own belongings because I was helping my mom to grab important documents and photos and to get the pets situated.

We are now homeless, with no clue where to go from here, and desperately in need of help to get food, clothes, supplies, anything. My mom has been disabled for 3 years and we survive on a single income from my stepdad, who is a firefighter. His friends have been hurt trying to fight this. We have a dog with us, and two guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon.

My mom set up a fundraiser, even though we are not at all the type to ask for so much help.
