Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, that is your mother's loss. Not your brother's. I am thrilled for he and his bride to be. Kid is making his own life and choosing his own happiness not necessarily at her expense but by making his own choices. I could not be prouder of him.
Yeah, they're going to try to accept that they will never ever please them ever.
Sometimes people are nice. It's nice to be reminded of it.
It is.

Ha!
P-C, I hope your brother and his fiancee still manage to have a wonderful wedding and a very happy marriage.

FSIL: "Those tshirts never rang truer than now. Ugh."
Which shirts? I thought initially. Then, of course, it hit me. My sister wants one, but she hasn't earned it yet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I thought it was a helpful post, Tep. It is good for P-C to look at this as manipulation rather than reality and you shared your insight.

Teppy, you seemed fine to me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Oh, wow, you guys. So much this weekend. Let me reiterate how awesome y'all are and how glad I am of the support there is to be had here (even for someone as charcoal-grey lurky as me).
Anyway, hugs to all who might like them, yays for those who are doing better.

2) it will make me cry and maybe I need catharsis?
A quote that I liked so much I wrote it in my journal (and I really don't journal, but that's how right-on the quote was), from an author I believe you're fond of:
I suppose a cry does us all good at times, clears the air as other rain does. - Stoker

Well, there we go, me sobbing through the middle of Lilo & Stitch was a good call, even Bram Stoker says so.
Tep, your post seemed very helpful to me. Calling someone (especially a parent) on that sort of toxic manipulation needs to be done.

Teppy, I didn't see your post, but I'm sure it was fine.
