hey
Mija, serve your brother.
He is a year younger than me.
We are children. My dad calls me to go outside with him to help fix the car. He needs me to find him a wrench in the garage. The garage is always filled with spiders and he knows I’m afraid. My brother is not. He’s inside playing video games. He doesn’t have to help look. He never has to help look. “You’re better at finding things.”
Practice makes perfect.
Mija, serve your brother.
My maternal grandma comes up to visit. The house is still a mess. I juggle honors classes, caring for the baby, caring for my brother, the bulk of the chores. Something had to give. My grandma looks at the house and then at me. “I could just beat you!” She growls. Nothing is said to my brother.
Later, she is helping make dinner. She brought a chicken and wants to show me how to cut it properly. I don’t want to. I’m tired from all the cleaning. She threatens to kick me. My mother says nothing about it. Just “You’ll have to learn to cook for when you have a husband!” My brother continues to play with his toys.
I drop my honors classes.
Mija, serve your brother.
We’re in high school now. The washing machine has broken. It’s been broken for weeks. We’ve run out of money and can’t afford to go to the laundromat. My dad arranges for his sister to pick us up and take us to his parents house so we can use their washer.
I’ve done my own laundry since I was 12. I wash, dry, and fold and then put them in my hamper. I then decide to go on a walk. I come back hours later. “Thanks for leaving me with all the work!” My mother snaps. My brother is playing with our cousin.
I will not serve my brother. He can serve himself.
I put myself through college. I want a STEM degree. My days revolve around homework, notes, clubs, work. I no longer have time for all the housework. I will not sacrifice my education, my glimmer of a chance out of this nightmare.
My brother lives on Youtube. He stays on Netflix until the sun rises. He is glued to the couch with the Playstation controller in his hands. Dishes are crusty. The laundry goes undone. The trash piles.The cat shits behind the chair because the litter is too dirty. He doesn’t want to pull his weight around the house.
My parents vent in frustration.
“Why is your brother so lazy?”
bro why they call naruto useless when mans literally does most of the work... sasuke step up challenge
Yurio. Okay wait hear me out. It is most likely that Yuuri Katisuki, aka the protagonist is probably going to win the Grand Prix Finals, because he is, well, the main character of the story. Victor has already promised Yuuri to continue to be his coach until he retires, meaning an end to his figure skating career and the start of his coaching career. And since Yuuri is most likely to win the entire competition this year, what more could we ask for in season 2? They've already given us a canon couple (vICTUURI SCREECH) so why make another season about the same character trying to accomplish the same goal when you can focus the series on another character that coincidentally has the same name as Yuuri, Yurio, who still has plenty more years left in his youth and plenty more tries to get gold. The series could still be Yuri on Ice, just with a different Yuri.
New drawings for some upcoming Oval Space London events. Theme of the serie is “Psychoanalysis”.

i really cancelled johnny depp after those allegations and thought of him as a monster and i’m so fucking ashamed rn. i didn’t even go watch the crimes of grindelwald bc he was in it and i love the harry potter universe. i hated him so much, was so disappointed, and now i’m just disgusted w myself and this whole situation bc i supported the woman who is the actual abuser and talked shit about the real victim. i’m incredibly sorry johnny, it’ll never be enough but i am
