It had been a month from dad’s birthday. A month of knowing that Pepper was pregnant. A month of knowing that Tony and Pepper were going to have a child that is 100% theirs. A month of knowing that he was getting replaced. A month of dreading the day when they sit him down and tell him to pack his bags because they don’t want him anymore.

I don’t like to share this story but I really felt like I had to after seeing this post.

I’m a 17 y/o female and I was pumping gas with a friend of mine (16 y/o F) at night in our way home from a football game. I started getting a really weird feeling and was looking around me. I noticed a man a couple of stalls over who hurriedly looked away as soon as I saw him. So I finished up getting gas, hopped in the car, and drove off with my friend.

We talked abt it the whole way back to our town, until I realized his brown truck was a few cars behind us. I told my friend and we both kind of chuckled at first until we realized he was going around all of the other cars and coming next to us. He gets beside our car and he’s smiling at us. That should have been the point at which I sped up or slowed down to try and lose him. But no. I waited to see what he was doing.

He reached down and started pulling out a gun.

I screamed. Floor’d it. And drove as fast as I could to get away. My friend started calling the cops and we were absolutely booking it. I could see him speeding up to try and catch us but I noticed a grouping of cars just ahead of us. I got infront a guy (he was v pissed) and got off on the exit ramp, forcing the man to slow down. I didn’t know where we were but I got into town and found a really big fancy ass restaurant. I’d lost the man but I was sure he would find us (My car is easily recongnizable). I parked in the back with the employee parking and shut off the car and ran to find someone. We went into the restaurant and explained everything to the woman at the front desk. We stayed there for 30 minutes while they called the police. Luckily, they apprehended the guy because someone had also called on the highway and reported that he had a gun and was chasing another car.

It was the scariest experience of my life and I do not go to gas stations alone anymore or without being on the phone with someone. Please be safe everyone.

Someone's trying to follow me and my mom home, Jesus Christ this is terrifying

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

May I present to you... Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. I won’t spoil the book but it’s a must read if you’re into hero/villain ships

Good evening, hero/villain ships where the villain gives up being a villain because they love and want to be with the hero is literally the greatest ship trope of all time

Twice is the type of guy that will rob a bank and get caught because he stopped to help an old lady cross the street.

Say 5 things you like about yourself (publicly) and then send this to 10 of your favorite followers ❤️

1. My hair

2. My personality!

3. My weird eating habits

4. My flexibility ig?? (Emotional not physically)

5. My eyeballs

Hand Prompts

For all you writers out there…

Hand holding

Hand kisses

Playing with each other’s fingers

Running a thumb over the other’s hand

Hand SQUEEZES for comfort during a stressful situation

High-fives

Poking each other’s hands playfully

Hands resting beside each other, barely brushing

SCARS! ON! HANDS! (Tracing the scar with a fingertip, as the other stands, motionless.)

Dancing, hands linked according to the proper hold (but the touch is just a little too gentle, or too tight, to be routine)

Sign language

Morse Code, where one taps a message against the other’s hand

Sliding a bracelet onto the other’s wrist

Sliding a ring onto the other’s finger

Applying! Bandages!

Warming the other’s hands with their own

Fingers interlaced

Covering the other’s hand with their own

Tracing the patterns of the other’s hand and wrist

Hands brushing as they walk beside each other, each hoping the other will close the gap and take their hand

One with extremely soft hands, the other with extremely rough and calloused hands

BOTH with calloused hands

Holding hands while saying Grace

One with tiny hands, one with huge hands

Comparing! Hand! Sizes! By! Pressing! Palms! Together!

Fingers brushing as they hand each other things

Reaching for something at the same time, hands brushing, pulling away like they’ve been burned

Not noticing that they’re holding hands until friends point it out

Hands that turn to lifelines, connecting them together

One holding the hand of the other, who is unconscious, silently pleading with them to wake up

Bonus: The slow, weak squeeze when the other one finally starts to wake up

How To Get Work Done When You’re 0.5 Seconds Away From Ending It All: A No-Nonsense Guide To School When You Feel Like Death

Please reblog so others can see!!! It didn’t make it into the studyblr tag!!!

Important points are bolded for my fellow exhausted students. I see you and I’m with you.

At Home:

1. I know people have said otherwise, but studying from your bed is okay. I know how it feels to not want to get up. Sometimes sitting up in bed is the most you can do. I’ve found that getting dressed helps me feel a little more into it, but don’t go out of your way to do it if it’ll kill your vibe or make you uncomfy.

2. Honestly, if you’re not going to school, you probably shouldn’t be getting up before 8 or 9. There’s a fuckton of studies that show that that’s around when your brain actually wakes the hell up and is ready to take on the day. Don’t force yourself to get up at the asscrack of dawn if you can avoid it.

3. I’m probably gonna get shit for this, but it’s okay to skip class sometimes. Just make sure that you know what you need to do make up for it, have someone that can send you the notes, whatever.

4. For the love of god, eat. I don’t care if you have a full breakfast, a bowl of cereal, or the junk food you have stashed in your room, or five saltines, just fucking eat so you can have something in your stomach. Just take my word for it.

5. You know what’s trying to get you to be productive at all times? Capitalism. You know what also sucks major ass? Capitalism. Don’t buy into it. Take breaks and take them often. If you need to tap out, do it, and anyone who disses you for it can suck it.

6. Fuck the “no zero days” mentality. If you need a day to recharge, or you’re just having a really shitty day, don’t feel pressured to be “productive”. If you feel like absolute hell, the most productive thing you can do is give yourself time to feel better. Please, please take my word for it.

7. I know you feel miserable. I do too. But if push comes to shove and you’ve got deadlines coming up and you’re not ready, sometimes it all comes down to just sucking it up and getting it over with. However! It doesn’t necessarily have to be top quality material. Why? Because a 50 or a 60 is still way fucking better than a zero.

At School:

1. Slader has answers for hundreds of textbooks across lots of subjects. Your book might not always be there, but if you’re lucky, it might save you a fuckton of time on that homework. It’s a blessing. Just make sure you actually read over the answers so that you at least kinda understand them.

2. SparkNotes and Shmoop. For the love of god, don’t just use one or the other. Use both. Shmoop gives easy, casual, quick-to-remember plot summaries, and SparkNotes gives good analysis so you look like you actually know what you’re talking about.

3. Try to have at least one person you can lean on in every class. Whether it’s to get help on homework or to vent about how much the class is killing you, I swear, it helps so much. If you can make a groupchat with people, the more the merrier.

4. There’s probably someone willing to just give you the homework answers, no questions asked. Most people get it. People understand when you’re tired and not into it. If there’s a class you’re good in and you can help them out as well, then it’s even better, because there’s a give-and-take.

5. If you have time during or in between classes, try to get a little homework done. I know the minute I get home, my motivation to do anything school-related drops 644747457%. Try to get a little done while you’re in the groove. Future you will fall to their knees in gratitude.

6. Find a comfort item you can bring to school with you. Doesn’t matter what it is. Bonus points if you can wear it or if it fits in your pocket. Pick something that makes you feel a little better whenever you look at it or hold it. I wear jewelry dedicated to my gods, but it can really be anything.

7. I know people say that grades are just a number, and they really are, but if you’re like me and still stress over them anyways, for whatever reason, it’s okay. Just remember that someday in the future, there will be a time when that shitty grade will not matter and will never matter again. You’ll get to move on with your life, and no one will care that you failed some class or some test or whatever.

8. If someone is giving you hell for not liking or not being good at a certain class, tell them to fuck off and move on with your life.

I hope this post can help people like me who are this close to rock bottom but still need to muddle through. Please know that this too shall pass. Please stay alive today. Know that if any of you ever need anyone to talk to, I’m right here.
