[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Just don't push yourself too hard. If something is too much then just stop :( we want you to stay healthy

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon If anything, I feel bad for the little cousin. She's so ridiculously sweet and is always trying her best to help out despite being the most incapable...And her older brother is just...Uhg. Honestly, I can handle it, as much as I don't want to because sleep, but it's not worth upsetting my mother. I just wish the little one didn't have to work and the older one could get off his butt because I do not care if you're a guy. My brother is a guy too and he helps out a hell lot better than you, and he's way younger than you are. I don't care if it's not manly or whatever dumb excuse you have, you should be ashamed of letting your eleven year old sister who's both sick and on god knows what medication due to health complications work in your place when you're perfectly capable of doing it yourself. Thank god my mother's teaching him how to work. > . <

I mean, damn, I hope I don't come off as whiny, because I still love him (sort of stuck with that because family) but like...His behaviour really, really bugs me sometimes, and I sort of needed to let it out, because god knows if I say this in front of my family they're going to be pissed because I shouldn't talk that way about my cousin, but still.

Hopefully he'll be able to take over soon. Even I can do (uncomplicated) housework (Despite being both untidy and untrained and not very strong) just by...common sense.

@Loony

Vent away Loony, it is better than bottling it all up.

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper Here's the thing though, he is strong, he is fit, and he's perfectly capable. He's just like 'oh I don't want to learn because that's girls' work' (apparently my brother is a girl) and is lazy. And my aunt was okay with that for some reason. Like, she didn't like it, and she wanted to teach him, but she excused it anyways, so now my mother's gone out of her way to teach him. Like seriously, he's almost sixteen, he should be able to do this stuff. If he gets a job here like he's been trying to do, he's going to have to learn as well.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Bwah, I'm still sorry about venting, I just really needed to get that off my chest because he can really irritate me sometimes. Not anger, because that's something I rarely do feel, but irritate? Yes.

Seriously though, I don't know how he can feel okay with watching TV while his little sister works like that.

[HaltingBlooper]

In that situation I probably would've had a tantrum (Working, I mean). I'm one of those people who gets really mad when some person is allowed to slack off because of no good reason. You hurt your foot and can't walk without pain? Okay, seems legit. "Girl's work?" LOLNO.

[21308]

@Loony Sorry to hear your home life is like that, hopefully things will be okay for you. Maybe just go to bed early tonight?

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper Honestly, he just...He can be a real piece of work sometimes.
It sucks too because my mother is the complete opposite. My mother is like "Oh, so you fell down the stairs while carrying the vacuum down and had said vacuum land on your head? Don't bother checking for concussions, just go work." So that mentality bugs me as well, but "LOLNOPE girls' work I'm out" just...Uhg.

@__________________@ Why can't there ever be a middle ground?

[Loony]

@21308 Definitely going to bed early tonight, assuming they don't drag me off somewhere.

And honestly, it's been pretty good as of late, my cousin can just be a piece of work. The time before my mother took anger management classes was actual crap, but I'm not going to get into that because that's a time long gone and whatever damage was done back then I do not hold my mother responsible for, because PTSD is a bitch and I wish she had gotten help much earlier for her own sake.

[HaltingBlooper]

I meant, that isn't an excuse. Forgot to word that right.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Maybe you could hide in Frybo's closet so they can't drag you off and you could get the much deserved sleep.



OH NO!!! THAT IDEA MADE FRYBO TOO HAPPY AND NOW HE HAS BURST OUT OF THE CLOSET TO DANCE!!!!!

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I like to hide in closets when I have migraines, actually, since it's usually triggered by light and sound sensitivity, so being in a small, dark, and quiet space is great. Except my parents don't appreciate that very much, and ever since my cousins moved in there hasn't been a single spot left in the house that is empty except for certain corners in the basement, and since my aunt and uncle reside there my parents don't like me going down there. Frybo is more than welcome to join me in the basement, though. Then maybe I'll be left alone. O v e

[Akayaofthemoon]

In all seriousness though, I am sorry that things are like that with your cousin and probably hard to watch. I don't know if I could hold my tongue on something like that. I know everyone is different and has different view points but the Girls Work thing is just sad. He should be looking at his sister and thinking, she shouldn't be doing this in her condition maybe I should help or anything would be nice. I am glad it seems like he is doing better because I think a change needed to happen.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Frybo...protector of Loony's peace because everyone else is too scared as hell to want that near them

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Honestly, hearing the word 'girls' work' or 'boys' work' makes me want to rip my eyes out of my sockets because I don't think your sex should determine what work you do. Or anything you do, for that matter.

He's also pissing me off because he keeps making fun of my brother since he fits stereotypical feminine traits more than male ones, and holy shit does it really matter what he likes and how he's like if it's not hurting anyone? Like seriously, there's already going to be judgmental people calling him out for it and probably bully him for it, you're his cousin, you shouldn't be one of those people. It's so freakin' stupid I just...Uhg.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I am friends of all things creepy and crawly. Come here, Frybo. Join the spiders, centipedes, and me in the unfinished corners of the basement which is almost uniquely my territory since people are scared of cold and bugs.

Also, I don't know what I found, but this is a thing that happened.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

XD what on Earth was that?! It looked like Garnet was beating the snot out of Steven XD

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon It's a thing that happened. That is all.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

That was one of those...Yup, you can never unsee that
