I'm concerned.

There’s a famous Reddit post from 2020 where a pregnant woman wrote that her husband and father-in-law were a little too comfortable with their certainty that she was absolutely going to die in childbirth just like her husband’s late mother. It was to the point where her FIL was insisting that she go ahead and put all her clothes into storage, because she was obviously going to die in the hospital and it would save them the grief of packing up her things afterwards. Like. It was WILD.

The commenters (and me, honestly) were convinced that the husband and FIL were either going to kill her outright to fulfill this expectation, or just make decisions about her care that might conveniently let her die.

And then she never posted again.

Over the last four years, people have frequently mentioned that post, always leading to a thread of people saying, “Oh god, I still worry about that woman.” I did too. It became one of those famous unresolved posts that people always wondered about.

Until yesterday, when someone on r/BestOfRedditorUpdates dug up a 2022 update she had posted on a different account:

She writes that she put her foot down about having her own mother in the delivery room rather than her FIL (!), and she WOULD be getting an epidural. Her husband lost his shit. And in his outburst, he let slip--

And that was when she got the fuck out.

I truly never thought we'd see a resolution to this, and I feel like there's probably a good number of people who remember it, so I thought you might want to know.

I have thought about that post every week for years. I was so happy to see the update yesterday, it was such a damn relief.

people are so mean about horror movie victims like. sorry but if i had gone to a cabin in the woods with my friends as a teenager you couldn't have stopped us from reading aloud from the evil tome. how were they supposed to know the ancient curse was real they're like 17

Okay but I think you could do something really interesting with that premise. The main character gets glimpses of what they escaped. They see news articles and recognize their hometown. They're on a date with their coffee shop romance and get a phone call that an old friend has gone missing. Let's sit there and explore the horror of a near miss. Let's explore the survivor's guilt. The helplessness of being too broke, too far away, too bone-tired exhausted from day to day survival to help. The constant nagging feeling of 'sure, I got out but did I do enough? Could I have stopped this? I put my own oxygen mask on first but should I have stayed and died? Could I have made a difference?'

This is like a right wing political cartoon I love that it's real

Bioware: got some straight gas 🧨 this strain is called "dragon age: the veilguard" and you'll be zonked out of your gourd 🎇

me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude i swear i saw anders in the background for a split second

my mutuals pacing: one of the companions is lying to us

it’s a major oversight to me that there isn’t an option for a dumped HoF to have a lil rebound fling with anders in awakening. we’re talking about a man who later takes time out of his harebrained death spiral with the spirit/demon possessing him to shoot his shot with hawke, his dear friend of six years who is either in a committed relationship or a convoluted situationship that no sane person would go anywhere near. and you’re trying to tell me PRE-justice fuckboy anders with the earring wouldn’t be batting his eyelashes at the HoF like oooohh commander of the grey 😇😇 I heard that someone made you cry 😢😰🙅‍♂️ maybe you should… rest your head on my shoulder?? 🤭🤭 maybe you could tell me all about it, I’m a great listener 🥺🥺

“I want to show the world this is not just a country of war. It’s not just death, bombings and killings. There are people who are interested in wildlife, even when nothing is available to them,” he says.

“There is life here. And we love life.”

I know it's because he's a manipulative bastard but Khonshu telling Marc "you are worth protecting" like the thing he was so desperate to hear from his dad

There's a literal god saying "I have your back. I'll keep you safe. You're my favorite. You are special and worthy and I'm not going to abandon you." No wonder Marc went all in for him.

daddy issues club

it's sooooo

like, he's afraid of his mom and he thinks maybe she's right but has enough self preservation (and care for Steven) to just try to avoid her and thinking about her and Randall entirely

but his daddy issues! this man has tumbled from father figure to father figure trying to find someone to protect him and Khonshu is the closest he's gotten.

actual dad? i won't divorce your abuser but I will try emotional blackmail on you. USMC? too broken, get the fuck out. old CO/merc company boss? you're in the way, just die already.

Khonshu, though? I own you, but you're my special boy. have a magic suit of protection. i'll warn you about danger, I'll guide you and give you purpose. congrats on your wife, she seems awesome. you're mine forever. you want to make a life for Steven, that's fine as long as you keep him out of our business. KILL THESE PEOPLE. good boy.

that thing abt middle schoolers making fun of you for being gay before you even knew you were gay but its those old magicians sending dean to a gay bdsm club without knowing hes [omitted]

just found this on spn wiki

Hiya tumblr take my uquiz

I thought I'd do better but there were just some things that apparently never crossed my dash. However, as a smut writer in good standing, I have to dust my shoulders off a bit at my results.

I don't know shit about this website.
