If I see one of y'all complaining about Shiver Simps i'm getting out the pool noodle. (was on fistbump)

Frye had popularity this time and Shiver won from pure skill in battles, so that argument is off the table.

I love the end of Return to the Sea, but let's be extremely real, Eric and Ariel would 100% have a lot of explaining to do, and Melody absolutely has the right to be angry at them.

Hi, Yvonne! Drop the skincare routine girl, don't gatekeep this. I need the recs.

Oooooh! You came to the right place, gorgeous! Okay. OKAY. So hyped for this! Like, it’s not my specialty since I’m not a dermatologist, so take this allllll with a grain of salt and your own situation in mind.

The main reminder I give you if you’re trying to actually be good to your skin is to DE-INFLUENCE your routine! There’s a lot of word and ads and influencers trying to promote and show off fancy and expensive products. You don’t need that entirely. Tune them out. Read the ingredients. Read the reviews. Try to get samples. Ask any sales associates, your own healthcare providers. Literally; Don’t let some glammed up doof on the internet tell you that you need some $40 toner that you’ll end up finishing within a month or two. Surprise surprise, they’re probably getting paid.

Hot take but it’s the same for the SPF hype. It’s fine and it’s great to be cautious, but for those with VERY sensitive skin that doesn’t handle a lot of products very well, you are ALLOWED to determine whether or not your SPF is doing more harm than good, and omit that from your routine if you have deduced it’s causing further irritation and adverse reactions. Either omit it, or only use it when you really need to, OR try to find one less taxing on the skin. DONT go nuts and go for the strongest stuff. Your bank account and skin will thank you.

The routine I follow is simple. Here’s the morning and evening routines!

Morning:

Non-foaming oat cleanser PHA+BHA toner that also hydrates! Niacinamide serum Hydrating moisturising cream with ceramides

Evening:

Remove make-up if needed with a micellar water+oil remover and cotton pad Non-foaming oat cleanser Blemish patches if needed The same moisturiser, OR a night cream that also hydrates

Occasionally I’ll do a sheet mask, clay mask, or even put on moisturizer and “slug” (putting on a more occlusive/protective product like petroleum jelly or Lush’s Ultrabland cleanser) (I’m not sponsored pls) (if anyone has a cheaper dupe that’s just as good, pls let me know, my wallet is sobbing) like, once or twice a week. Just be mindful of what your skin needs and can handle at the moment.

And for the love of god, do a patch test with your products first too. Some products will be marketed as gentle and high quality, but you’ll end up reacting to it like a madman out of NOWHERE. Test it first. Take it off if it starts to hurt or itch more than it normally should (if any).

We all have different situations, different sensitivities, and different strengths. This is my take, my routine, and it reflects my needs! So take it with a grain of salt, lovey! Hope this helps though.

// Alright, throwing this out there before I sleep: now that I've done with my exam and I may have access to my laptop soon, I'd like to get back into the swing of things and write with more people! Like this post (or reply) if you want me to make a mental note to check out your blog / reach out to you about RPing!

*there’s a THUD from the closet, when…

❤️- *The alternate version of frisk— the angsty stabby 14 year old one from before— lunges out at sans with a knife gripped tightly in their hand. For the record, they did mean to leave when they teleported away. That being said, their magic is a bit… finicky. As in they duck at using it*

=)

*they lunge at the skeleton with incredible speeds and murderous intent*

Sans raises his hand fast enough and fortunately manages to hold them in place, saving himself from what would have been a fatal strike.

Without any hesitation, Flowey grabs firmly onto their wrist with the strength of his potbot, knowing Frisk of any kind has enough Determination to easily break free.

Flowey: "HEY!!!! I have no idea what happened between you and your Sans, I have a terrible history with mine too, and I still don't entirely like him,"

Sans: "wow, kid you-,"

Flowey: "Shut up for a second, Trashbag!!"

Flowey then grabs onto the knife, with the potbot struggling some to pull it out of Frisk's hand, very much cutting through his glove in the process.

Flowey: "Whatever happened, whatever you did, even if it's for fun or revenge, it's not happening here! NOT in this timeline!!"

Flowey gives one big tug and successfully pulls it from Frisk's hand.

Sans: "interesting, you really are nothing like our frisk,"

Flowey: "Don't COMPARE them!! Are you trying to make them want to kill you more?"

Sans: "no, of course not, but i'm not scared of them either, i've been keeping an eye on things; your cam needs more work on it by the way,"

Flowey, sarcastic: "No, really?"

Here are some of the jellies!!!!! There are some great videos too but idk how to send them on tumblr asks lmao, featuring my new plushie baby and some very bad editing myself out of pics lmao

ok sorry about the incredibly late response but it's a slow moment at my workplace AND I HAVE SOME ENERGY TO RESPOND YIPEE!!!

first off- SO MANY MOON JELLIES OMG,,,, THEY ARE RLY SMACKING!!

GOD, i recently just saw Upside-down jellies in person and it is MAGICAL... the way they gently pulsate.... they are so chill I adore them. Incredibly hilarious how they have one of those peek-through domes in the upside down jelly take tho. It's even funnier the way they stick onto the glass haahaha (Upside down jellyfish have a suction-like grip on the tops of their bells so it's very fun to watch them press up against smooth surfaces...)

And,,, I appreciate the Japanese Sea Nettle appearance... they are looking very round 🥺

I also. Love the sea nettle tanks it's so cool how they like, span the height of the entire room and it's like,, you're enveloped in jellyfish. It's really great. If only they weren't so crowded all the time ;-;

What I'm more impressed with, though, is the husbandry of this aquarium. I did a quick search on Mackenzie Neale and. She. Is. AMAZING??? She did two friggin dives to the arctic (as of 2017, I believe), and absolutely adores jellyfish?? Her goal was to find a Chrysaora melanaster, or the Northern Pacific Jelly. Goals. I love it. They even display polyps!! SO so so so many little polyps....... adorable. Mad props to Takuji Oyama and Mackenzie Neale for keeping so many wonderful jellies alive. I think they possibly even discovered a new Lion's Mane Jellyfish and raised it in the aquarium?? wehh ;w;

actually. No. I'm incredibly impressed that they even managed to display fucking STALKED JELLYFISH. THEY ARE SO INCREDIBLY RARE LIKE???? HHHH??????? I've been trying to do my own research about them but they are hardly ever studied (mostly because of rarity, but I suppose public interest in them isn't as widespread as benthic jellies are, haha...)

AND ALSO ALSO ALSO HI JELLYFRIEND!! WAHH,,,, What a cute shade of pink ;-;!!

[chikoyama]

If you're roleplaying with me, I'd like to clarify a few things:

It's okay if your muse doesn't like (or even hate) my muse.

It's okay for your muse to not reciprocate the feelings of my muse if my muse ends up falling in love with your muse.

It's okay for your muse to fall in love with my muse.

It's okay for your muse to be violent against my muse.

It's okay for your muse to change their perception of my muse over time or after a specific interaction.

I'm open to try out different dynamics with the same muse — like maybe in one au, they're lovers and in another au they're enemies.

In fact, as long as I know that mun is a rational human being I'll allow most things to happen to my muse or between our muses.

I'll likely lose interest if mun appears to be uncomminucative. Initially roleplaying is a two-way interaction. I don't want to accidentally offend or hurt you because we failed to properly communicate. (Let's face it. It's more fun when it happens ic than ooc).

𝕯𝖆𝖇𝖎 ; Fandom stuff.

How do I tell the fandom that Dabi was a useless, weepy, ill adjusted little runt ( AFFECTIONATE ) who wasn't allowed anywhere near Shoto and not a tall, responsible but troubled older brother figure who mother hen'd his younger siblings, especially Shoto, and that Dabi wasn't close to Shoto or particularly close to Fuyumi either but him and Natsu had a toxic codependent sibling thing going on hard core and I'm so sick of the Natsuo erasure and/or Shoto being put in Natsuo's place when that makes no fucking sense w/o pissing off the Horny Dabi simps who cant let go of bad/outdated flavorless wooby fanon characterization. How do I tell the fandom that their portrayal of the Todoroki family dynamic is severely wrong but can be drastically improved by understanding that while Endeavor ( and to a much lesser extent Rei ) were not actually narcissists, the parenting style at the forefront of the family is almost identical to narcissistic parental abuse and looking into this, along with things such as "Narcissistic devaluation" and the "Scapegoat" and the "Golden Child" explains so much that this fandom can't wrap its head around in regard to the extreme emotional / psychological abuse suffered by the Todoroki children without pissing off the Enji simps neck deep in abuse apology cause their fav has fat dilf tits.

Anyway on that subject children who grew up in households that were heavy on the narcissistic parental abuse often fall into "types" with particular traits and heres the Todorokis to a T ( Not including Shoto because his role is very obviously golden child (Masterpiece) and wasn't ever one of the Scapegoats ("failed creations") I mean I could def put him under "Problem Solver" but since he was never actually a scapegoat child its more complex than that for him so heres just my fav little failures ):

Fuyumi - the caretaker

Scapegoated children may provide emotional and/or physical caretaking to one or more parent/stepparent, functioning as a stand-in best friend, spouse, therapist, or nurse. They may be given household responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking, and caring for siblings, while also being targeted with anger and blame for the family's woes. Often intuitive and empathetic, caretaker scapegoats can become powerful healers as adults. But if they continue to prioritize the needs of others over their own they are likely to experience anxiety, poor self-care, resentment, and burnout.

Natsuo - the protector

Children in the protector role step in to defend a parent and/or younger sibling(s) from the dominant narcissist's verbal and/or physical abuse. Such children may be driven to try to protect family members because of their own experience with being scapegoated, or they may become scapegoated in the family system as a result of standing up to the abuse. As adults, children who have confronted the aggression of abusers may become fierce and compassionate advocates for justice and the underprivileged. But they often struggle to recognize their own limits, vulnerability, and need for support.

Toya - the collapsed

Some scapegoated children experience such harsh neglect and abuse, with few sources of support to build resiliency, that they fail to thrive and become mentally unstable, chronically ill, suicidal, institutionalized, homeless, consumed by addiction, and/or incarcerated. As adults, they may experience a trajectory of low functioning, repeated crises, or collapse that ends tragically in early death by illness, addiction, suicide, or violence. Kids who are "different" in some way, such as queer or neuro-atypical, are often targets of extreme scapegoating, both within their family and society at large.

angel's pendulum of -- " not wanting val's attention " to " wanting to keep val's attention " is almost uncontrollable.

his want to leave val is almost overshadowed by his need to stay with him... more in the terms of wanting to keep his success. he takes pride in his work and doesn't want to end back as a cheap whore on the streets. he kinda likes the lifestyle that people thinks he has, and doesn't want to lose that despite his treatment.

does this make sense ?? he's addicted, but it doesn't mean the substance is either good nor good for him.

((It makes me sad that (especially coming from Roui) the severity of Kariom's duty is greatly diminished in both severity and importance. He's not just a star-reader he was chosen by the King to decipher them for all Tsourai. When he calls himself a savior it isn't entirely out of pride or hubris; he's telling the truth. It's a duty that can (and will, and has) potentially destroy him, even kill him, but one that he can't back down from or falter in because if Kariom makes a mistake?? Even one??? It's, to his understanding, completely over and he wouldn't be able to handle it. He cannot disappoint them, nor can he abandon them, and to fail in the slightest would be doing just that. It would be detrimental to the people that he loves and that, to say nothing of wider consequences, is unfathomable.))
