Tuesday - Creepy Kids

[momma-66.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. momma_66 and we will dive into one of my favorite subgenres of horror -

Today's theme is Creepy Kids.

"A subgenre where the children are often under the spell of evil or are born inherently evil, and turn against the adults in the story. They then become the antagonist of the story and often must be stopped by other children or adults in order for lives to be saved." - servicescape

Be it Children of the Corn or Sinister, there is something about children with that touch of bad/evil just gets our skin crawling.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling…

~ Any, Any, no one wants to talk about it but the kid next door is wrong

~ MCU, Morgan Stark, she's the "evil scientist" sort

~ Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha, seeing your dead family changes you

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2021 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Vacation...all I ever wanted...

[.livejournal.com]

I'm still awake because I have so much to do before I leave for San Diego with my sister and niece in the morning.

Like, I've been working on my accounting homework for the last 3 hours because I won't be in class tomorrow, but my professor has assured me that the textbook and the lecture we had on Monday were enough to help me complete the assignment.

So far, I'm not so sure about that. I've gotten the assignment 90-95% complete, but I'm not sure if it's correct. I'm going to work on it for another hour or so with a classmate before calling it a night and submitting the assignment before I leave Wednesday morning.

UPS has me bummed out. I ordered clothes from Old Navy on March 18 and they have a delivery service where you can pick your delivery location/date. So I picked delivery to a UPS store (to avoid UPS having problems getting into my building) and delivery to happen on Monday. That would give me time to make sure the clothes fit or to return them to a store and put together some other outfits for the trip.

However... the weather conspired against me and the package wasn't going to be delivered until today, March 30...then it got pushed to the end of the day on March 31...when I'd already be on my way or in San Diego when it was delivered to the UPS store!

So now I'm scrambling to put together some other outfits, which let me tell you is nerve-racking!, and my sister decides to text me that she plans on "dressing up a bit" for dinner Wednesday night so I should bring something to change into for dinner.

Let me tell you I wanted to cry in frustration. One of the things I ordered from Old Navy was a dress that I could have worn to dinner (originally planned on wearing it on the drive down) and then I could have found something in my closet to wear for the drive down...but nooo. so I had to pull out a dress that will match the shoes I'm taking and get some jewelry. But I'm literally second-guessing everything.

In all of this, I also have to make my room decent because Kim's sister, Colleen, is going to be staying the night while I'm gone. I bought a mattress cover that's supposed to add "18 inches of cushion" so it will be something not lumpy for Colleen (and myself) to sleep on.

I also have to break down more shipping boxes to take to the dumpster in the morning when I take out the trash...oh and hide my...toys...before leaving as well. I don't know if Colleen will snoop or not and I'd just rather not worry about it.

back to stressing about what clothes to take while I wait for a classmate to come back online so that we can work on this assignment before we both go to bed.

Happy Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!
