I'm back, with Snarry art!

[tripperfunster]

yay! Home safe and sound! Man, I hate flying! *grumbles incoherently about gravity* As a famous comedian once said, "If God had meant for me to fly, he would have bought me the tickets." :D



My mother: *sigh* Suffice to say, that although she is basically a nice person, she has a way of letting you know that you are not good enough. I find it annoying/amusing when it comes to me and Lance, but I find it rage inspiring when she does it to my kids. And she does it in a passive/agressive way that is a bit hard to call her out on, because each statement is mild, but they build up to a big case of SMACK A BITCH.

All my life she has put my father first (before herself too,) and she has continued on that tradition with her new husband. Lucky for us, he is a kind, gentle man (instead of the boor that my dad is) so again, it's a bit easier to take when said man doesn't have a bionic case of entitlement. Little things, like: "Leave the biggest pork chop for Jack!" or: "Turn the TV down, it's too loud for Jack!" or my fav from this trip:
Mom:I don't know what you guys want for lunch, and I'm not going to make it.
Me and my brother: Okay.
Mom: You can just find something, and make it yourself, because I don't feel like making it.
Me and my brother: ... okay mom. I'm sure we can handle it.
Mom: No, really, all the fixings for sandwiches are right here, but I'm not making them for you.
Me and my brother: .... *look at each other* ....
Mom: Jack? What do you want me to make you for lunch?

Keep in mind, I live 1000 miles away from her. She only sees me and my husband and her ONLY grandkids once or twice a year. It's not like we're dumping the kids off on her and using her as free babysitting or anything.

And this trip, for some reason, the downstairs neighbour decided we were making too much noise, and came up and complained. I *think* he was mistaken, because he complained that we made too much noise the night before as well, and um ... yeah, we weren't even home all evening, so perhaps someone else around him was bouncing a ball (which he accused us of), but anyhoo, basically, we were only allowed to frickin' TIPTOE quietly in stocking feet all frickin week because this dude complained.

Needless to say, I'M GLAD TO BE HOME! (I won't even bother posting about my father.)

Alas, the week was rather pron free, but I did manage to do a bit of sketching. And if you've made it this far, I will reward you with some Snarry art.

BTW, Harry and his broken leg are doing quite well. He's even putting weight on that leg, despite the dr.'s orders not to. I'm taking him to a pediatric orthopedic specialist tomorrow, so hopefully they will be able to tell if he'll need a cast all summer or not.




Oh, and ahahaha! How I've somehow made Snape look like a cross-eyed mouth breathing thug here! *snorfle*

Arrrgh! I think your mom and my mom must've been related somehow!

Your Snape looks suspiciously like Chazz....but that arm around Harry is just YUM! I like the mouth-breathing thug--ruggedly manly and all possessive.

Isn't it always nice to get back home? No matter how good or bad a time you have while away, home is there waiting for you with welcoming arms. That's how I feel, anyway. LOL!
I'm really glad Harry is feeling better.
The Snarry is fabulous, and I agree that there is a touch of Chazz with Snape. It's great!

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

MOTHERS = ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH *RIPPING OUT HAIR GOES HERE!!!!*

Man that is so..I don't even have commentary for that! "Omg FOR JACK...FOR JACK". Whaaaaaaaaat @_@ One of my friends acts similar about "her MAN" and I just wanna smack her for it. mdbvsbfb *Gives you cookies*

And joanwilder said it before I could but yea, Snape looks like he got Chazz's mouth! ...HAVE THEY BEEN HAVING SEX? CHEATERS!!!!!111111

Hey, did you still want to take a peek at my Blades essay? I'm nearly done with it once I get through the boyfriend's edits..I also have an odd sketch of Will Ferrell standing in butter and grabbing his fat if you need some crack for the day.

Snape may be a bit thuggish but Harry certainly doesn't seem to mind *g*

That conversation with your mother just about had me choking. Wow. She's very special.

And I'm glad that Harry's moving around okay. That's a horrible thing to have happen on holiday.

[huntress1013.livejournal.com]

You mom is ... fascinating to say the least.o_O Glad to hear that Harry is doing better =)

[majmunka.livejournal.com]

*ggg* You make me think my mother is not so bad...
I missed you and your Snarry. No pr0n is a bit sad but I love they tight hug. I'm sure it makes Harry feel safe and loved.
(Crossing fingers for your Harry)

I think I die if I would live so far from my babies...
The best thing I love from my house is the lack of neighbours XD

Thanks for the Snarry! I love the hug!

I always worry when I read stories relating to irritating mothers, because it makes me wonder what my children say about me.

I try so hard not to interfere, and I never once said anything to my son's (ex) g/f about choosing not to have children. I never said anything about him living so far away, nor ask repeatedly when he's coming back.

My daughter's spoiled rotten.

Really, I think I'm the perfect mother.

*ha ha*

[corvus-coronis.livejournal.com]

*looks up at the commentary & nods* - been there, know what your talking about, know the feeling of relief when one manages to escape - though my own mother has improved a heck of lot in the past few years or so, especially since facing up to my fathers issues.

Anyway, good to hear that Harry's mending well, and like seeing Snape getting all possessively manly over the other Harry ^^

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

OMG! He TOTES looks like Chazz, and that was completely unintentional! ahahahaha! My fandoms are melding! (I'm surprised I didnt' give him pointy ears too!)

I think ALL mothers are somehow related in their crazy. Myself included. I shudder to think what they'll say about me when I'm older.

As an added bonus, though, we were talking about things that happened when i was a kid, and Quincey piped up, "Wow Gigi, (my mom) You were a really mean mother!" *snicker*

The boys are fascinated that she used to make me sit at the table until I cried, when there was food i didn't like. Her threat was always that if I didn't eat it for supper, then i would get it for breakfast. ... come to think of it, YEAH, THAT IS FUCKIN' MEAN!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I am always thrilled to get back to MY OWN BED! God, I love my bed! :D

And yes, there IS Chazz in my Snape. I honestly didn't see it, until Joanwilder pointed it out to me. I find it pretty damn funneh! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see your essay, and of course, I'd LOVE to see Chazz standing in a tub of butter! WHO THE HELL WOULDN'T??

I think it's hilarious that my Snapey is morphing into Chazz. HE WOULD BE SO OFFENDED! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The killer is, my mom is not a bad person, but she is so disconnected to her ACTUAL thoughts and feelings that she cannot see how annoying she is.

This, despite my having MANY convos with her about how her 'intent' and the 'actual message' aren't always the same. I mean, she's trying to say "I love Jack" and yet, she's saying "I love Jack MORE THAN YOU."

Story of my childhood, really.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, we're going to see another doctor re Harry's leg today.

And my mother? yeah, fascinating definitely describes her.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm sure EVERY mother is effed up in some way. (myself included).

Thanks for the crossed fingers!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! We live in the country, so my kids are not used to being hushed all the time. (not that they were loud, mind you.)

I would DIE if my kids moved so far away! so true!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

You couldn't possibly be the perfect mother, because OBVIOUSLY THAT TITLE BELONGS TO ME! :D

I'm sure we are all irritating in our own ways, but the one thing that I am trying to change from my upbringing, is to treat my children as valued individuals, as opposed to things that are just an extension of myself.

My mother has perpetually been more worried about what the neighbours think, and seemingly could care less what *I* think. And I, of course, took full advantage of that, by shaving my head and dressing outrageously in my teens and twenties. >:D

I really don't think, even now that I"m in my forties, that she sees me as a fully developed human being. (with faults, of course.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

My mother got much worse when she and my father divorced, then she got MUCH better after meeting Jack (due to being truly happy, I suppose) but now, that she is comfortable, she seems to be slipping back into her old, annoying habits.

Oh well, I'm sure you could fill a book with all the shit that *I* do wrong!

and thank you, yes, Harry (my harry) is doing better, and Harry (the collective Harry) does not mind being hugged by the mouth breathing thug.

Have I ever mentioned that um ... I named my son Harry LONG before finding fandom? I mean, he IS named after Harry Potter (and Harry Connick Jr and Harrison Ford) but it IS odd, that I write and draw porn about someone with the SAME NAME AS MY CHILD! OMGsowrong!

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

You have my sympathy, sweetie. My mom is crazy-making too but not anywhere near as much as yours. (hug)
Glad to hear your kid is feeling better.
I have all the maternal instinct of a doorknob, but if I did have a son I don't think I could name him "House" or "Bertie". Maybe I'd name him after one of the Beatles, and no, I would not name a kid "Ringo"! "Richard", sure.

[gaycrow.livejournal.com]

Being a parent is so tricky ... my own parents, for example, treat my younger sister quite differently to the way they treat me and my older sister. Younger sis stayed at home much longer than us before marrying and having children, and my Mum always referred to her as being a "young mum", even though she was in her late thirties.

With my own son, on a recent visit I was very careful not to say "take a jacket" when we left the house. It was hard not to say "told you so" when he complained of being cold (because, of course, I hadn't told him!). :D

[kerosinkanister.livejournal.com]

I hope Jack ended up with a nice sandwich even if nobody else did, tragically.

A good sandwich is like a good friend. Until you eat it.

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

My step mom is like that *eyeroll* _frustrating_!!

Sounds like a hectic trip. Glad your back! Love the picture!

[accioslash.livejournal.com]

As there are leftover comments in the fridge, Tripp, you'll just have to make one here yourself and just consider it from me. But, Snape, you're looking mighty hot these days.

I have one of those Betty White mothers. She seems so sweet and charming on the outside but is one of the meanest people ever.
