It Makes Me Glad To See A Fellow Christian Who Really Knows What's Up. God Bless Him.

I spy, you spy, let's all play I spy!!!!!

Well, this depressing little number popped into my head

Sometime before the cave, Mystery Skulls gets called in to a case dealing with time dilation. While they’re investigating Arthur gets caught in one of the disturbances. The Arthur that replaces him though, is from the future. He has deep circles under his eyes, looks somewhat emaciated, and has a horrible burn on his jaw and chin.

He doesn’t just look horrible, he’s skittish and flinches from Lewis and Vivi’s attempts to comfort him. They try to get him to tell them how this happened, but all he says is ‘it’s fine’ and ‘I deserved it’ He’s very careful to not let them see his left hand.

Vivi and Lewis are shocked, Arthur has always been a little socially awkward, but not broken like the man they see in front of them. When Vivi demands to know how he could have possibly deserved the burn his answer chills her: “Because sorry isn’t good enough”. He’s not just parroting, he believes this.

The dilation shifts again, and they have their Arthur back. He couldn’t tell them much, he was in a place he’s never seen before, probably on a case. They don’t tell him about the future Arthur they saw.

They talk amongst themselves later and decide that since they would never have let that happen to him, at some point he must have separated from the group and got into a highly abusive relationship. They resolve to never let that happen. Anyone showing interest in Arthur is chased off. Anytime Arthur thinks about quitting, they pressure him into staying. It’s for his own good, they’ll protect him.

Fast forward after the mansion.

The gang is ostentatiously back together. The boys put on a face for Vivi, but the moment her back is turned Lewis is hostile towards Arthur. He hasn’t forgiven him, can’t forgive him. And Arthur just takes it. He deserves it, after all.

At one point the blond snaps and starts apologizing repeatedly. Lewis, never in a good mood when Vivi isn’t around, grabs him by his chin and forces Arthur to look him in the eyes. “SORRY? YOU MURDERED ME! SORRY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH!: Arthur jerks back reflexively, and Lewis can see where his hand left a burn. A very familiar burn.

The triggered memory causes him to look, really look at Arthur for the first time since his death. And he realizes he’s seen this Arthur before. Somehow in his rage he hadn’t noticed how far Arthur had gone. Vivi had missed it too, between her own grief, then jubilation at his return. He remembered those dark marks under his eyes, and now that he thought about, couldn’t remember the last time the mechanic had eaten. Worst, he remembered the completely broken look in Arthur’s eyes. He’s not apologizing anymore. He’s not mad about his new injury or ever that concerned about it. He’s even gone beyond fear.

He believe he deserves it.

And it makes Lewis sick to realize the abusive person he and Vivi swore to protect Arthur from all those years ago was himself.

I love this so much please reblog. This makes me think about when my younger brother would tease me about it, and he still doesn't realize that any girlfriend he has will go through the same thing.

Teach boys about periods

My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.

When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).

I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.

My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.

My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.

When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.

Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Oh It's so nice to see this post again. I really do love what they do for these children.
