We Tried Once

Funny thing about growing up is you start to realize the current vibe of the place that you live is like a vestige of the vibe it had before you were born. We're on our way to a new vibe now and I was born in between. My dear hometown, pick one and stick with it.

POV: the whole justice league is revealing their secret identities to each other and it's Shazam's turn, and he's been hiding that he's a kid.

S = Shazam

Green Lantern: Ok your turn Shazam, who are you?

S: Umm before I take off my costume, there's something you should know. If you're Shazam, then when you're Shazam you're the same age, no matter what. Whatever age you usually are. And- um. So- oh, I'll just show you. Shazam!

Wonder Woman: You are a child!

S: Debatable.

Superman: How old are you?

S: Shazam! Now I'm like 24.

Green Lantern: Doesn't even know how old he is as Shazam...

S: Shazam!

Flash, walking in: Wait are we revealing identities? Why was I not invited? Who's the kid?

What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.

Praying for you

Hey.

My mom's really depressed. We found out today that our house does not qualify for insurance unless we jump through like 500 more hoops and pay thousands of dollars for a bunch of tree removal, and we're losing our insurance in March, so my mom's officially finally at the point of "Okay, we need to leave California."

We have hardly any money, we don't know if our house will sell if we put it up, and my mom and I sat in the living room just now at 4 in the morning to cry together about how we both think that we might lose everything we've worked for in this house. A nest egg, a promise of a future for our family, some form of hope.

And now we're barely scraping by.

My fundraiser to get out of California didn't make enough. Even with a few behind the scenes donations that were absolutely major, we still couldn't get out of here. We're on our last hope and prayer.

So, why'm I making this post?

Because I'd like you, if you can find it in your heart, and if you're a religious type, to pray for my mom and my family. We've spent years now trying to get out of California and we're right in the middle of putting in new floors which my mom is doing almost entirely by herself at age 74, and we've still got so much stuff packed into this house that we're gonna need to just pack up our car and go throw a ton of it in the junkyard just to get it out of our house.

We need help. Of course we need financial aid of some kind, my mom's retirement can only afford so much when our electric bill is $875 (California!), but this post isn't about that.

This post is about my mom needing a miracle, and I don't know how to give her one. I'm nowhere near having my game finished so I can't make money on video game sales.

So all I have is just this little bit of faith that maybe this post will find enough people who can pray for us that God will hear and will send my mom that miracle that makes her happy again.

Thank you for reading. Please reblog if you can't do anything else. Blaze the post. Something. I don't know.

My mom's been through so much pain in her life that I can't just let her be sad like this. I can't watch the state of California take not just her money but even her happiness from her and leave her stranded and alone.

Thank you again.

I love you.

*through gritted teeth* i will see the good in the world

*clenching my fists* i will be kind to myself.

*screaming into a pillow* i will love this life for all it has to offer

*face down in the floor* there is so much beauty that i have yet to experience

just remembered shows used to have 20-25 eps per season

Riker clock.

Everyone just don't watch it show them we're done with these, don't even see it once just to check how bad it is, just pretend it doesn't exist

it’s not that it’s another soulless live action remake. it’s not that people are being racist to nico parker already despite the fact that a honduran-american woman voices astrid in the movies. its not that toothless is solely in the uncanny valley camp and it makes me cringe to look at him. it’s not that it almost looks like a shot for shot remake so what’s even the point actually. it’s not that the lighting looks and smells like everything is CGIed in. it’s that those costumes look like they got them from fucking party city. i saw those boots on sale at target.

Save what’s left of us. 🙏💔

Hello there, 🙏💔

I’m reaching out with a heart full of both hope and hardship. 😔 My family and I are in Gaza, and life has become a daily struggle due to the ongoing devastation and conflict. 💔🌪️ We’re doing our best to get by, but even the basics are difficult to come by. 🍞💧

I know that people around the world have shown great compassion to those affected by crises. 🌍💙 If you’re able to support us with even a small contribution, like 10 euros, it would truly make a world of difference. ✨🙏 This support would help us meet our needs and take a step closer to finding safety. 🕊️ Our only hope now is to leave Gaza for a safer place where we can rebuild our lives and look forward to a more peaceful future. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️❤️

If you were in my place, facing what we face every day, what would you do? Any kindness you can offer would be a light in this darkness.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness you can offer. Your compassion means more than words can say, and we deeply appreciate it. 💖🙏

With all my gratitude and best wishes for peace for you and your loved ones, 🌈🕊️
