#Baby safety checklist

[ddejavvu]

I do not know Tyler Owens at all but love your writing so i’m gobbling it all up ☆

what if this time, the tornado’s path is going to come too close to their house? how would Tyler break it to scaredy cat, would he stay with her somewhere else or do his job?

No Storm in Sight - Tyler Owens x Reader

please send me tyler owens requests!

Tyler manages to get all of your essentials packed up while you're still asleep, but he can't prevent the blaring tornado sirens from rousing you.

"Tyler?" You jolt awake, fear clinging tight to your chest and leaking into your voice as the awful sounds permeate your once-peaceful night, "Tyler, what- what's going on?"

"Storm's comin', baby," He croons, but his voice is tighter than it would have been if there wasn't any danger. "We're drivin' out for the night. I'm not chasin' this one. Not with you. It- it shouldn't hit here, but it's gettin' close, and I just wanna be safe."

"Oh my god," You're choking on the words while you're trying to get them out, breath short and choppy as you scramble out of bed, "I have to get- we- all of our stuff, Ty, we-"

"I got it. I packed up what we need," He gestures to a hefty backpack of valuables, cash and photos and mementos, everything that can't be bought back after it's whipped into a storm. It comforts you to know that Tyler's prepared, but just because you can replace the rest of your home doesn't mean you want to lose it.

"Come on, honey, you're okay. Let's get into the truck, m'kay?" He soothes, taking your hand in his despite having far too many things to juggle already, "Remember, even if it hits the truck we'll be okay. We're safe in the truck."

"Tyler, I'm scared," You breathe, still seized by the bleariness of sleep but feeling the stabbing pain of panic in your chest, "Please- Tyler please stay with me, I-"

"I'm stayin', darlin'." He promises, but you're not done blubbering.

"No, I mean- don't run back to grab anything, don't- don't get out of the truck for any reason, please Ty, I- I need you to make it out with me or I don't want to make it out at all."

Sirens blare louder but they can't manage to drown out the beating of your heart as you let Tyler drag you into the driveway. Gravel and dirt kicks up around your feet, really, you're walking through a cloud of the stuff, and you fight to maintain clear vision as foliage and dust attempt to steal it from you.

"Push through it, darlin'." Tyler calls, shouting over the roaring winds, "Just get to the truck, okay? We're safe in the truck."

You manage to grip the driver's side doorhandle, and with all of your strength, you rip it open where the wind wants to slam it closed. He holds it open for you, and you crawl over the console so that he can take his seat. Just this once Tyler doesn't make you buckle up before he peels out of the driveway, his bag of your essentials rolling off of the seat and landing on the floor of the truck. You've already got clothes and food packed away, and you're glad that Tyler had evidently made a mental checklist of what else to grab in an emergency. You manage to get your seatbelt buckled as Tyler turns out of your drive, and the dark clouds headed towards your home seem to spell disaster.

"Tyler, it's coming right for us," You choke on a sob that takes you by surprise, one that aches in your chest as you try working through it, "I- What if it knocks down our home, or- or what if it pulls us in, or-"

"Easy, angel baby." Tyler sets a hand on your thigh, using the other one to drive the truck steadily away from the incoming storm, "Like I said, it's not projected to hit us. It's just gonna get real close. Maybe knock down a couple'uh trees, break a window, that sort of thing. But we can fix it. And nothing's gettin' us in here, that's for sure."

You are thankful for the armored safety of his truck, thinking of the drills between the wheels that will anchor you safely into the ground. The storm doesn't look huge, but any storm is a dangerous one, and you're glad you and Tyler will, at least, survive.

The storm seems to curve, now heading left just as much as it is towards your house. You find yourself staring, fixated at it in the mirror until Tyler barks, "Hey. Don't watch it, baby. Look ahead, m'kay? See them clear skies? That's where we're headed."

Your hand shakes as you reach over to settle your own palm on Tyler's thigh, feeling the sturdy, rough material of his jeans beneath your fingers. You mourn the absence of your own sturdy clothes, thin pajama pants feeling bedraggled as Tyler speeds you away from the incoming storm.

You lose sight of the twister as Tyler rockets down the highway, and now the brunt of your worry is on your home, not your safety. Eventually, when there's not a cloud for miles, Tyler pulls over, breathing out one huge sigh as he slumps in his place.

"Ty," You gush, leaning over to wrap him in an awkward hug, "Ty, I- What are we gonna do? What if it gets our house?"

"It won't. It curved, it's- it's swerving. And even if- We can rebuild it," He murmurs, gripping you just as tight, "Don't think about that, baby. We- I... My team'll help. Boone's- Boone's good with electrical. Dani knows an architect. And I can handle the heavy liftin', darlin'. But we won't need that, m'kay? It's goin' the other way now. Our house is gonna be fine. And we're gonna be fine, look. No storm in sight, and we're safe in the truck."

"No storm in sight," You parrot, glad for the presence of Tyler's strong frame in the armored truck beside you. You're glad for the knowledge that the storm is turning away from your home, and you trust Tyler explicitly on the subject, happy for the security he offers as he holds your hand tightly, "We're safe in the truck."

finally had time to play archon quest, and it was really good! SPOILERS for 5.1.

the obvious standout was the war section, it really surprised me bc i dont remember invasion even in like srs business games like dai, bg3, wotr, etc that had so effectively impacted the fear, tragedy, hectic battlefield, feeling helpless at the scale of it. maybe mass effect 3, but they ruined it in other ways.

usually its like. there are groups of enemies all around the map, the npcs are running around and you save them, yeah there are a lot of corpses, but it doesnt feel that meaningful bc there are corpses around all the time anyway in these kinds of games, and you just move from one group of enemies to another, clearing the map. if there are checks of where you went first to see who survives, it can be even worse bc then you will have players make very specific step by step checklists and find any exploits that detail which is the optimal order of doing things so you save whoever you want, with best loot. so it ends up feeling very detached, bc you sit there with wiki open on another screen, weighing costs and benefits. even if you don't, the usual reload and the set events and *how* players moves around the map give much sense of control, you know you can get best outcome if you wanted and you have your priorities.

but here, first of all, you have an option to choose where to move, but it will move time, so you can't just clear the entire map. and the fact that the "missions" do not have playable characters you already know at stake and instead have npcs you don't know at the beginning ends up working better, at least for me, bc choosing where to go next is not just benefit analysis bc you get best loot or get to save your pookie. instead its a choice between options which are equal to you as a player, so it feels like making personal decision instead of just optimizing in-game strats. and so then when you see the missions you didn't go to turn dead or even go here and everyone is already gone, it just hits different. so the lack of prior information or any worldstate checks ended up working much better, at least for me, to make this an emotional decision instead of rational calculation, and so it affects emotions first.

how they used UI to subvert expectations is also insane, like you see that stat screen of percentages of abyss corruption and so on and you're like oh, i know how it works, its bad now, but i will be clearing the map and it will get better :) and then it keeps getting WORSE and WORSE, instead of doing lil completionist clear of all "!" marks on the map, they go dead, map gets swallowed by the abyss fog, it really feels like chaotic dashing between whatever points left and feeling relief when you see at least *someone* survived at the next one. incredible use of the medium in a way only video games can accomplish to build dread and anxiety.

special shoutout to paimoin's voice actress, i was always saying its not her fault paimon is annoying, its direction, and now she *finally* was given material to work with and she fucking CRUSHED it. like, when we find a baby saurian who is a sole survivor hiding, with corpses of its family all around, and paimon tries to cheer it up and direct it to the safety, her voice is tangibly wavering and filled with tears, but she's trying to keep it together bc she needs to encourage baby saurian, despite knowing we don't have time to stay with him and so we don't now if he'll survive?? insane. brilliant performance. and then when we fly next to the canopy tried, visibly overtaken by abyss, and paimon cries out, a single shuddering cry, half-choked and distressed, instead of going "oh no, it looks like abyss has taken over canopy tribe! thats bad!" like writers usually have her talk. and then when after a pause she quietly says that this war might be too much for paimon, and traveler encourages her and she rallies back, like that lil scene made me like paimon and believe in their friendship more than literal years of her incessant yapping and looking into camera going "we're the bestest friends!"

but also the fact that you can get to know the NPCs you managed to save, and meet them again, they have their own lil storylines, their own optional checks which are not forced on you, but if you do manage to help them , you get to meet them back in safety and it feels so good, gives players enough feeling of agency that your actions DO matter. very good handling of scales, the grand country wide invasion swallowing entire map in despair vs personal, individual level victories. you save whoever you can and every life is equally precious.

Tech as a father Chapter 59

How exactly to babyproof a ship?

Masterlist

Chapter 59: Tumble and babyproofing

Tech, still observing Orion's movements, mentally compiles a checklist of adjustments required for the upcoming crawling stage on all fours. "We'll need to secure loose cables and objects, install safety gates, and possibly modify the lower sections of the bunks," he lists off, considering the ship's layout. Crosshair grumbles again, "I told you, baby-proofing." Echo nods in agreement. "It's necessary for his safety." “As long as no one gets near my stuff.” Crosshair adds leaning back in his bunk.

Wrecker, though, remains enthusiastic. "I can't wait to see him crawling around! Maybe we can make a little play area for him." Tech, with a slight spark in his eyes, says, "While maintaining functionality and efficiency, of course."

As Orion rocks back and forth, Tech's mind already races ahead, anticipating the dynamic changes their living space will undergo to accommodate their growing, curious bundle of joy. Parenthood, indeed, requires a constant balance between safety and maintaining the functionality of their unique home. Tech's fingers glide over the datapad, capturing the subtle nuances of Orion's movements. The rhythmic rocking on all fours hints at the imminent exploration that awaits. A soft smile graces Tech's features as he contemplates the upcoming stages of parenthood.

The ship's gentle hum provides a soothing backdrop to this intimate moment. Tech's thoughts drift to Amanda, wishing she could witness these early milestones in person. He wonders how many more moments like these he'll be able to share with her, yearning for the day they can create memories together. As the video is sent to Amanda, accompanied by a brief message, Tech reflects on the unique challenges of raising a child in their clandestine environment. Each developmental step becomes a testament to their resilience and adaptability as a makeshift family.

The unexpected jolt brings a surge of adrenaline through Tech's veins as he instinctively reaches out to catch Orion. The Havoc Marauder hit a space pocket. The little one, however, tumbles into an unplanned somersault, a few distressed cries escaping his tiny lungs. Tech's heart races, not from the ship's turbulence, but from the immediate concern for his son's well-being. Crosshair, who was reclining in his bunk, grumbles about the ship's erratic movements, but his eyes involuntarily flicker towards the distressed infant in Tech's arms. Wrecker, ever vigilant, sits up with a concerned frown, and Echo glances over from his station, ready to assist if needed.

Tech, cradling Orion, begins a gentle rocking motion, murmuring soothing words. "It's alright, Orion. Papa's got you." The ship gradually steadies, but Orion's cries persist. Tech reaches for a small toy, a colourful rattle, hoping to distract and comfort the upset infant. As the ship steadies, Orion's cries gradually subside, and Tech continues his comforting presence, grateful for the unspoken support of his brothers in navigating the challenges of parenthood in the midst of their unconventional journey.

Tech, attuned to Orion's subtle cues, senses the resistance in the little one's attempts to free himself. Undeterred, he maintains his firm yet gentle hold, using the muslin cloth to delicately wipe away Orion's tears and the traces of distress on his tiny face. "Shh, it's alright, Orion," Tech murmurs softly, his voice a steady reassurance. Orion, still agitated from his tumble, instinctively grabs onto the cloth, his tiny fingers curling around it. Tech observes the interaction, his heart warming at the sight of Orion finding comfort in the familiar texture. Slowly, the rhythmic patting and the soft hum of Tech's voice begin to work their magic, gradually easing Orion's distress.

Crosshair, initially indifferent, finds himself watching the tender scene unfold. He grumbles about the ship's turbulence again, but this time, his words lack the usual irritation. There's an unspoken understanding among the clones that their journey, marked by the unexpected challenges of parenthood, requires a collective effort. As the ship returns to smoother navigation, Orion's cries transform into intermittent sniffles, and Tech continues to offer comfort. The muslin cloth, now a makeshift security blanket, remains clutched in Orion's small hand, a testament to the resilient bond between father and son amid the unpredictable journey through hyperspace.

Tech, ever the strategist, finds himself mentally mapping out a meticulous plan for baby-proofing the Havoc Marauder. The ship, once a haven of efficiency and precision, is now seen through the lens of potential hazards for a curious and mobile Orion. He envisions soft padding meticulously applied to corners and edges, ensuring that every potential collision point is cushioned. The corners of tables, the edges of consoles, all become points of concern in Tech's newly heightened awareness as a father. His internal checklist expands to include securing loose items, assessing potential choking hazards, and creating safe spaces for Orion to explore.

Deep in thought, Tech contemplates the intricacies of balancing his duties as a clone trooper with the responsibilities of fatherhood. His mind races with calculations, estimating the time it would take to implement these safety measures without compromising the ship's functionality. Crosshair, observing Tech's contemplative demeanour, interrupts with a sarcastic remark, "What's the genius plan now, Tech? Baby-proofing the entire ship?" Of course all know his snarky and sarcastic remarks are just his way of showing concern.

Tech, momentarily pulled back into the present, responds with a matter-of-fact tone, "It's a logical precaution. Orion will soon start crawling, and we must ensure his safety." As the ship continues its journey through hyperspace, Tech mentally drafts a detailed proposal for the baby-proofing project, acknowledging the necessity of adapting their environment to accommodate the curiosity of Orion who may start to crawl on all fours. And not yet commenting on how it may be worse because Tech is his father, and when he is just a fraction like Tech. No piece will stay unturned and placed in a mouth.

Tech paces the corridors of the Havoc Marauder, cradling Orion in his arms as his mind races with thoughts of potential dangers. He carefully examines each nook and cranny, assessing the ship's layout with an engineer's precision while simultaneously viewing it through the lens of a protective parent. His sharp eyes analyse every detail, from exposed wires to unsecured objects, and he contemplates various modifications to mitigate risks. Tech envisions creating designated play areas with padded surfaces, installing safety gates at key entry points, and implementing secure storage solutions for loose items.

As he walks through the ship, his keen awareness of Orion's vulnerability intensifies. Tech acknowledges the need for balance between maintaining the ship's functionality and ensuring a safe environment for his infant son. He considers the challenges posed by the confined space of a ship, contemplating how to optimize it for a curious and soon-to-be-crawling Orion.

Crosshair, observing Tech's meticulous assessment and how he already stores things away, can't resist a sarcastic comment, "Never thought I'd see the day when Tech becomes a walking hazard warning for a baby." Tech responds with a nod, "Preventing accidents is a matter of calculated precaution. Orion's safety is paramount."

As Tech continues his pacing, he mentally drafts plans for the ship's modifications, driven by the dual roles he now fulfils, clone trooper and devoted father. The Havoc Marauder, once a vessel of war, transforms into a familial haven under Tech's thoughtful consideration.

I swear I am not made for hot weather. I am melting and want to marry my fan. And it makes me to drowsy to function right. I am a winter child, give me snow and ice and I am happy. I own more hoodies than pants, shirt and dresses combined.

Here, take these miscellaneous headcanons I have for if the seven main pets were human that I thought of at like 2am.

I hope you enjoy.

-Pepper's a smoker, and she does it more often when she's stressed out, causing the icky smell when she's nervous. She tries not to when Vinnie's around, because he has asthma. 

-As stated in the hc before, Vinnie has asthma. He has a bad habit of forgetting to use his inhaler(s), which has led to plenty of asthma attacks, usually caused by overexerting himself while dancing. Russell always carries an extra, emergency inhaler for him, and he keeps a "make sure Vinnie uses his inhaler" checkbox on his checklist.(and yes, he does call him every morning to remind him.) 

-Sunil likes to wear dresses, skirts, makeup, etc. He simply likes to feel pretty sometimes, and he's comfortable enough in his masculinity to do so without shame. Zoe absolutely loves to give him tips on outfits and makeup, and they've become super close because of it. 

-Russell has a super long playlist consisting of only folk music. He plays it when he does deep cleaning in his house. 

-Out of all the movies they've watched together, Vinnie and Sunil's favorite is 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space'. They can oftentimes be heard quoting the movie. ("ANOTHER DOOR!?") Vinnie's favorite Klown is Shorty, and Sunil's favorite is Rudy. They watch it every Halloween as tradition. 

-Minka is an absolute indestructible force in laser tag. Not even Russell's strategic plans are enough to defeat her. If they're playing in teams, everyone tries to convince her to be on their side, but if they're playing solo? Every single person is teaming up against her(they rarely succeed) 

-Vinnie has a few piercings; he has a labret, tongue, both nostrils, and multiple ear piercings (double helix and a conch on his left ear and an industrial on the right). His jewelry is mostly green, black and silver. Penny has a septum piercing, and she wears a lot of super cute jewelry on it, mostly clickers. Zoe has a navel piercing. Her favorite jewelry is silver with a baby blue gemstone in it. (This is definitely projection bc I have a lil bit of a piercing addiction bUT-) 

-Pepper has a playlist full of the most horrendous songs known to man. Half of them aren't even songs, they're just voice clips of some guy screaming with faint music in the background. After many times torturing the others with this, she's lost access to the AUX cord. 

-Yes, Penny does listen to upbeat, cute pop music a lot. But she's also a huge fan of hard rock and other similar genres. She's also capable of screaming, which shocked everyone during karaoke night, because she usually defaults to softer music out of fear of judgment. 

-Adding onto the hc above, I firmly believe that Minka, Vinnie and Sunil would also listen to similar ish music.(once I figure out specifics I'll elaborate further)

-Every year, they go to the local fair. Russell and Sunil spend a lot of time looking at the clothes and crafts at booths, Pepper spends too much money on fair games, Penny gets emotionally attached to every farm animal she sees, Zoe's probably flirting back and forth with some guy at one of the food stands, and both Minka and Vinnie have whiplash from being tossed around violently on some ride that should've been shut down for safety violations. It's absolutely chaotic, and they always have the best time.(I might eventually do a full headcanon post for this one, or even write a short fanfic. Depends on inspiration i guess) 

Zoe will video chat people in the middle of the night just to gossip or something, but no one's ever doing anything normal when they pick up. She's witnessed so much concerning and potentially illegal stuff while on these calls, but she's genuinely so unfazed at this point that it doesn't register as concerning anymore. Vinnie just burned his eyebrows off because he tried to bleach them? That's normal. Minka just stole a street sign for some abstract art project? Completely fine.

I hope these are enjoyable. I may or may not add onto this later 😭

Please not I chose from cards that are currently available. I tried to use cards where you could see their faces better and cards that could easily be found on eBay for a decent price if they ever needed to buy a new one.

*Currently there are NO hockey cards of Matt Rempe (unless you include the AHL card that I have yet to find proof of (I saw a checklist say that he was but then I went to eBay to look for it and the card number there was assigned to someone else, so until I see it with my own eyes I don't believe it exists) (I’m guessing there will be a young guns card next season though!)

**Both Lacey and Zuzu also have safety cards of Lola as well!! Lacey’s is of Lola as a Duck and Zuzu’s is from when Lola was with the Canucks.

[messydiabolical]

Mickey and Pavan, Blaise Shepard's dads. I actually came up with them before I designed Blaise! I wanted a good solid backstory for my new Shepard. More info about these two cuties under the cut!

Blaises’ parents

In their first years, Blaise was raised by single dad Michael 'Mickey' Shepard, an English born space faring pansexual muscly man who left earth as soon as he could. They hopped across systems on various ships, Mickey working in security and logistics. Moving around all the time wasn't necessarily ideal with a littl’un but he made it work as best he could and made sure Blaise was never wanting for love and affection. Blaise certainly learnt to be a tough lil cookie very quickly, and was also exposed to a lot of different cultures/species etc. Mickey is a great big teddy bear of a man who likes coloured ringbinders, flowcharts and big fucking shotguns (OSHA approved). A fierce protector that loves to snuggle, protec, and tick checklists. Blaise's egg donor Genevieve was a troubled lady; she'd escaped extremely repressive religious parents and was having a reckless period in her life- lots of drink, drugs and partying, hopping from ship to ship doing odd jobs. She had a fling with Mickey, ran off one night without so much as a goodbye, then turns up 8 months later like 'yeah I was in denial but um babies coming. help!' (at some point during the pregnancy, she was also exposed to eezo, hence Blaises biotics). She was not prepared to be a mum but knew Mickey was kind hearted and couldn't bring herself to not at least let him know before she gave Blaise up for adoption. Mickey asked if he could raise Blaise, Genevieve agreed on condition she could sign away parental rights and he wouldn't contact her, which he honoured. Genevieve spiralled for years, BUT finally cleaned up and started training properly in transport/supply logistics. She settled down- on Mindoir. Blaise knew connecting with her was never going to be an option, but mourned for the loss of a person who had shown strength and growth, when they later learned of Genevieves fate.When Blaise was 6 Mickey landed a job working for a comm company, where they could stay on the one same ship that flew around the Terminus and outer systems fixing comm bouys and networks on various stations, sattelites and planets. Still dangerous given the amount of pirates and such in that region, but for the first time they could really settle in and make a home on board. This is where Blaise developed a taste for alien found family- the crewmates are all different species and were all their aunties and uncles.

A few months later the crew welcomes Pavan, software and tech specialist in comm networks, follower of Urvine, god of paths and journeys, and extremely gorgeous drell. Pavan is an adorable nerd who’s frill flutter and expand when he gets talking about systems analysis. He left Kahje as a teenager as soon as he got his qualifications, not content with the limits of the planet, and mourning the loss of his older sister who died during compact duties. In his spare time, Pavan offers tech support to a non profit that helps drell who decide to move off Kahje and form their own colonies. He isn’t strictly anti hanar, but feels the compact and the relationship has reached a point that is stifling drell independence and growth.

Mickey and Pavan, both being nerdy guys that are sticklers for details and a passion for exploration and adventure (as long as it complies with health and safety standards!) quickly fall head over heals for each other. Pavan finds himself besotted with the adorable little Shepard family, and when he and Mickey get married Pavan adopts Blaise according to the rights of Arashu. Blaise also takes on the old gods as their religion and immerses themselves in drell family traditions. Pavan feels Urvine guided him to a path to find this family and lead him to Mickey. He love Blaise completely as though they were their own child, no question. They are a sickeningly adorable family.

Back at the beginning, No Time Alone, and Bringing You Back for the fake fics :]

3!!!! WOOOO

Back at the beginning

It always started the same. Towering white walls and ceilings above him. White sheets, pillows, clothes and furniture, all perfectly pristine and always exactly the same.

Karl had explored this castle a thousand times over. He’d been in every room, nook and cranny he could fit into, yet nothing explained where he was, why he was there or how to leave it.

It was getting more difficult to remember things every time the dream restarted too. Because surely this was a dream? It didn’t matter if he broke a glass or smashed a wall, he’d wake up again and it would be as if nothing had changed. Except, it did change.

Always about half way through his exploring, the tremors and pull start. That’s when Karl ran. He didn’t know what it was trying to find him but all he knew it was big. And it didn’t matter where he hid, it always found him in the end. Giant hands pulling him from where he hid, or bursting through windows grabbing him when he tried to dodge shattered glass shards.

I just had to make that one Karl. Just fitted so perfectly with Time loops lol.

But it got worse. Everytime the dream restarted, he had gotten smaller. He was now at a point where he was just under a foot tall and had given up on trying to escape. He waited, lying in the white bedroom for his scheduled impending doom, wondering if maybe this time he’d actually find out what had been after him.

As expected, a giant hand burst through the wall and grabbed Karl out of the bed. It didn’t matter any more, but at least now he’d see what was after him. But what Karl wasn’t expecting, was for the giant monster that held him in its grasp to be a giant version of himself!

No Time alone.

Fundy never got a break. Yes he knew his Dad Wilbur Soot valued him as member of L’manberg (which was apparent from all his pet names), but he couldn’t help but feel used and neglected by his father.

It seemed the second he was done with one task, he was sent on another. And not until after he went through the same stupid safety checklist and was checked over like a piece of glass upon every return!

You could argue being a fox hybrid with the ability to shrink down would be a great assets to have. He should be grateful that his father trusted him to go on spy reconnaissance so often. But it irritated Fundy that no matter how well he succeeded on a mission, his father always treated him as a child.

Especially when he was only a few inches tall. Always picking him up and babying him! Didn’t he understand he was a full grown adult? He didn’t need the sweet talk and the constant parenting on everything he did. If anything, maybe going on missions was a good thing.

He didn’t have constant nagging or any restrictions from his Dad. Maybe staying small and lurking in the shadows away from L’manberg wouldn’t be a bad idea..

Ok. That started off better in my head but eh. Can’t win em all lol.

Bringing you Back

Did Tommy think it was fair for Wilbur to ditch him and return to Utah? Not at all. Did he think it was a good decision at 3 inches tall to try and make it across choppy waters in his little boat to follow after him? Absolutely not.

Stranded in the middle of the ocean, miles from any shore or having a clue to where he is, Tommy is stranded. No food or drinkable water, it’s just him and his thoughts of abandonment.

He really was a fool. Not only has he been abandoned yet again by his own brother, he was going to die alone either from starvation, drowning or being crushed by the giant pirate coming straight towards him.

Wait. Pirate ship??? Hang on. IS THAT PUFFY???

Hehehe I like that one a lot ❤️

Thankyou so much Squishy!!!!! These were soooo good!!! ❤️❤️

Gaining Weight and Love, Pt. 1

Read here or on AO3!

⚠️ Sugar Baby Relationship ⚠️

Somehow, it felt like the most natural decision in the world when Yoongi brought up the idea of exploring a new dynamic in their relationship. They loved each other and were happy in their relationship, but they had way more money than they ever needed and sympathetic hearts. 

Hoseok’s first suggestion was more charity work. As an already philanthropic couple, Yoongi felt that they would not get what they were looking for. They considered getting another dog, trying new hobbies, and taking random couple’s classes. Nothing seemed like the right fit. 

After watching a random drama that his sister suggested, Hoseok offered the idea of a sugar baby. Yoongi immediately rejected it, telling his partner that they were not going to hire someone to have sex with them. That led to a long lesson from Hoseok that there were various ways to approach a relationship like that and it was a way for them to explore their more intense interests. 

They had a very healthy relationship which led to open communication and no judgment from early on. Yoongi had been the one to insist on a kink checklist, seeing where they matched up and determining their hard limits.

A surprising one for both was weight gain, specifically being the one who facilitated someones gaining. They both gave it a try to be the one putting on weight, but it just never worked out - one always sacrificing their pleasure. 

Once Hoseok laid out that this could be their chance to fully explore that aspect of their preferences, Yoongi was all in. The only thing left was to find the right person…or the right couple. It had been a surprise to both of them when they found the best fit for them and it was twice as exciting that it was two people instead of one. 

During their weeks of planning, they had narrowed it down to two potential candidates - Jungkook, their favorite struggling barista, and Jimin, their favorite bartender who knew exactly how to flirt for extra tips. Both were clearly in need of support, always working whenever the pair visited the coffee shop or the bar. They went back and forth on it, Hoseok favoring Jimin and Yoongi favoring Jungkook. 

It turned out to be a happy surprise when they approached the topic with Jimin and he said that he would have to talk to his boyfriend, Jungkook. The pair was shocked that they had managed to scope out another couple for their venture.

An added push was finding out that Jungkook also sold his art online and Jimin worked at a library during the day so both were easily working over 60 hours each week. Yoongi and Hoseok certainly had enough money to give so they decided to ask them both. 

Jimin seemed hesitant at first, wanting to know exactly what the couple wanted from them before agreeing while Jungkook was ready to jump in, grateful for the incredible gift of money that would help him and his boyfriend achieve their dream. After dinner at Yoongi and Hoseok’s penthouse, they managed to get Jimin on board - with his conditions met. 

While they had been more than willing to honor anything Jimin asked for, Hoseok and Yoongi both were pleased to have the discussion. Jimin had clearly done research after the couple presented their goal behind the agreement. He wanted to establish limits, negotiate terms, and ensure his and Jungkook’s safety - all very admirable in their eyes.

Staying healthy, the option to back out and a hard weight limit for himself with Jungkook able to establish his whenever he decided what it may be were his requests that they were happy to maintain. It genuinely made it more enjoyable for them to have active participants who understood rather than them agreeing and ghosting them when it went too far. 

It started slowly with Yoongi and Hoseok giving them a weekly food budget to increase their intake and enough to cover their bills so each could let go of one job. The couple had been nearly underweight due to their intense budgeting and overworking lifestyle so there was an added element to overcome.

Getting them up to the average weight for their height and age was the first step which actually took longer than Yoongi and Hoseok expected. Habits were hard to break and money can be difficult to accept so Jimin and Jungkook did struggle to slow down.

Jimin asked to keep his job at the bar for at least a month to ensure it worked out. He was afraid that they would immediately go under if Yoongi and Hoseok decided they were no longer interested. 

By the end of the first month, Jimin had agreed to leave the bar as he and Jungkook were pretty happy with their new situation. With a few pounds added to Jimin’s frame, his ribs were no longer visible and Jungkook’s additional seven pounds made his midsection just a little softer. Ten pounds between them in one month seemed like a pretty good start. 

Yoongi and Hoseok praised their efforts and asked them to come over more regularly with Jimin now having the evenings open. A few things were quickly learned - Jungkook loved sweets and Jimin was more tempted by savory foods.

They had rented a private studio space for Jungkook to dedicate himself to his online art shop and kept it well stocked with snacks while Jimin would get surprised with a lunch delivery to the library a few times each week. 

Within three months, Yoongi and Hoseok were pleased with their sweet sugar babies. Many things were learned and many enjoyable nights were had. Jimin had gained about twenty pounds, his weight tending to fluctuate a bit. Jungkook was around fifteen higher, hitting a little plateau after his first successful month. 

Their current list of notable aspects of their endeavor included: 

Jimin had started at a very small 135 while Jungkook had a little more to start at 150

They determined that Jimin’s weight limit was 200 while Jungkook was willing to go up to 230, both saying they would reconsider if they actually reached those numbers

Jungkook clearly had a bigger appetite, but Jimin put on weight more easily

Jimin was very much bottom-heavy, his ass holding most of his added weight

Even if the scale didn’t show a bigger number, Jungkook’s weight was more visible

A new challenge came when Jimin and Jungkook received an eviction notice for their apartment, the building being purchased for a larger development and set to be demolished in a few weeks' time. The stress of the situation caused Jimin to drop five pounds in a week and Jungkook to withdraw slightly from their caring hyungs. 

Once confronted about the sudden change, Hoseok and Yoongi were actually relieved to hear the problem. The couple had gotten concerned that Jimin and Jungkook had realized they wanted out and were planning to break off the arrangement. They immediately offered their place as the solution, happy to have them around as much as possible and plenty of space in their large penthouse. 

Jimin and Jungkook thought it over at length and decided it really was their best option. They loved their hyungs and had started to genuinely enjoy their relationship with them - also coming to realize that they were both into their partner’s weight gain. Jungkook couldn’t keep his hands off of Jimin’s widening ass and Jimin loved to give Jungkook gentle belly rubs as they lay in bed. 

Two months into living with Yoongi and Hoseok had clearly manifested onto their sugar babies’ bodies. Between Yoongi’s home cooking every night and Hoseok’s fully stocked pantry, Jungkook had jumped up to 180 - gaining another fast fifteen pounds while Jimin gained back those five pounds lost with another twelve on top putting him at 167.

There had been a great amount of praise and appreciation from their hyungs with a bit of teasing for each other. Jimin knew that Jungkook was slightly jealous of his ass, especially when most of his boyfriend’s weight went to his plump midsection creating a bit of a round belly. The thirty new pounds on Jungkook’s frame made itself most aware on his stomach, visible beneath most of his t-shirts. 

While Jimin had gained the same amount of weight, actually two pounds more than his boyfriend, his stomach was fairly flat - most definitely soft with a thin layer of even pudge but still flat. Unlike Jungkook, however, Jimin’s had become the definition of curvy. His hips widened significantly, emphasizing the roundness of his perky backside and the softness of his thighs. He had to size up his pants three times already to accommodate his ass while his shirt size remained completely the same. 

Once they hit the seventh month of the agreement, Jimin and Jungkook decided to have a conversation with their hyungs. They had been discussing it with each other for some time and felt ready to make a big proposal. Yoongi and Hoseok had been nervous thinking that their ideal life was about to crumble, but they were pleasantly surprised once again. 

Their sugar babies explained that they were no longer comfortable taking their hyungs money when the relationship was so reciprocal and loving. With a promise to continue their gaining agreement without a dollar sign pushing it, Jimin and Jungkook asked to be their boyfriends instead of their sugar babies. Yoongi could have cried with joy and Hoseok actually did, both immediately accepting the idea of a polyamorous relationship with the younger two who they had most certainly fallen for over the past few months. 

By the time it was officially one year spent together, five months of dating, Jimin and Jungkook had gotten to open their dream bookstore with the help of their hyungs and gotten much closer to their weight goals - again, with the help of the hyungs. Their store was thriving and the scale was rising. 

It was a Friday night that found Hoseok and Jungkook out on a one-on-one date, visiting the younger’s favorite food stands in the street market near their building. Yoongi and Jimin had been camped out on the couch, the latest episode of their favorite drama airing that night.

Yoongi had made them an extra spicy tteokbokki since the other two were out as they were the only ones who could handle the heat. The added benefit of the spice causing Jimin’s stomach to bloat may have also been a good reason to make it even if Yoongi wouldn’t openly admit it. 

Over the past five months, the younger two had grown well - the weight distribution on their bodies remaining pretty much the same except for two new places. Jungkook’s hips and thighs had decided to take some of the burden off his stomach which evened out his gain well. And to everyone’s excitement, Jimin finally started to get a bit of belly - still nothing close to Jungkook’s but present enough to be noticed now. 

Yoongi had been the most fixated on Jimin’s new growth, his hand finding the added plushness whenever he could. Between Jimin’s genetics and adamant skincare routine, his little belly was soft and smooth without a single mark or blemish. While empty, his stomach was still easy to miss under his shirts, especially when his prominent ass drew more attention. 

However, when Jimin was full or bloated, his belly rounded out perfectly even and taut - which was the sight Yoongi was enjoying right at that moment. Between the spicy tteokbokki that Jimin had eaten two healthy servings of and his pint of ice cream on top to combat the heat, his belly popped out in front of him looking as if he were four months pregnant. 

As he scraped the last bit of ice cream from the container, Jimin felt Yoongi’s hand reach over to gently rub his stomach. Jungkook definitely enjoyed stuffing and feeling full more than Jimin did, but he would be lying to himself if he said that it was a hardship for him to do. He loved the way his body received his weight and the fact that his boyfriends usually had their hands all over him didn’t hurt at all. 

Jimin knew he was laying it on thick to rile up Yoongi, but he couldn’t resist relaxing fully into the couch with a deep exhale, pushing his belly further into his boyfriend’s hand. Before Yoongi could even say anything, Jimin continued to work him up.

“You know, I’m getting pretty close to my limit.” 

“Hmm?” Yoongi said, not completely listening as he was focused on Jimin’s belly. After a moment, he seemed to process what had been said. “Wait, really?” 

Jimin smirked, feeling a bit of pride at being able to elicit such an interested reaction. He nodded and leaned over to kiss a still-shocked Yoongi. “Yup, the scale said 194 this morning. Only six pounds left.”

Yoongi was speechless for a bit, doing the math in his head and realizing that meant Jimin was one pound away from putting on sixty pounds in one year. “Wow, baby, that’s amazing.” 

“Thanks, love,” Jimin said, genuinely accepting the compliment as he was actually proud of himself too, but he still loved to tease his boyfriend so he continued. “Wanna hear something else pretty amazing?” 

“Of course,” Yoongi answered, his hands moving instinctively as he caressed Jimin’s round midsection. 

“Ggukie was at 218 this morning when we weighed together so it’s a race to see who gets to their limit first,” Jimin replied, his voice dropping into a sultry tone that sent heat pooling in Yoongi’s abdomen - ready to pounce on his sexy boyfriend. 

“You two are going to kill me,” Yoongi mumbled, hands running across Jimin’s middle with more vigor as his lips latched onto Jimin’s neck. “Can’t believe you both gained over sixty pounds in a year. So sexy, baby.” 

Jimin moaned, his resolve quickly breaking with the intense love he was receiving from Yoongi. All three of his boyfriends were thorough in their appreciation for his body and it still melted him into a puddle every time. “You know, Ggukie and I have been talking lately. Coming up with some ideas?” 

“Yeah, baby, what’s that?” Yoongi asked, not slowing down for even one moment as he snuck his hand under Jimin’s shirt to finally get his hands directly on his taut, smooth skin. 

“We were thinking about maybe…ah, Yoon…” Jimin started, trailing off when Yoongi dropped his lips lower on his neck, fingers dipping into his waistband. 

Yoongi couldn’t find it in himself to feel bad for distracting Jimin when it brought out such beautiful sounds. “Thinking what, Minnie?” 

Jimin tried to keep his mind clear long enough to share what he was thinking, quickly sinking into the pleasure of Yoongi’s dedicated body worship that was happening. “We researched how to lose weight without building too much muscle and made a plan to drop a bit in a healthy way so we can start gaining all over again. Sounds fun, right?” 

Yoongi stopped his exploration of Jimin’s body, pulling back with wide eyes at the statement. He cupped Jimin’s plump cheeks and pressed a deep kiss onto his lips, trying to convey his appreciation for the action. “You two really thought about that?” 

Jimin shrugged, blushing slightly at the more intense reaction than he was expecting. He took the opportunity to fully explain himself while he had Yoongi’s full attention. 

“Well…yeah. Ggukie and I both really like the feeling of gaining. We like being spoiled and taken care of by you and Hobi, especially because you both do it so well. I still don’t feel comfortable going past 200 - I really like this size, but I don’t want to go higher right now and I want to still gain. Losing some and starting over seemed like the best way for us to keep everyone’s boundaries and still enjoy it. I know I could stay at this size and maintain it, but I genuinely think I wouldn’t like it as much. I know Ggukie wouldn’t. I think it’s at least worth trying and we can always try something else if it doesn’t go well.” 

Yoongi looked at Jimin with a tender expression, hands still on his face as his thumbs gently ran back and forth across Jimin’s soft jaw. “I love you a whole lot, you know that, right?” 

Jimin nodded, actually feeling a bit emotional to hear the sincerity in Yoongi’s tone. “Of course, I love you too.” 

“I think it’s a great idea. Hobi and I will support you both and we will make sure everything is done in a safe way. As long as you and Jungkookie are happy and healthy, then I will gladly go along with it,” Yoongi responded, sinking back down onto the couch after being up on his knees for a while to hover over Jimin.

“But there is one thing," Yoongi added. 

“What?” Jimin asked, expecting Yoongi to make some sort of condition or addition to the proposed plan. He looked at his boyfriend attentively waiting for him to share his thoughts. 

Yoongi leaned forward, hand drifting back to Jimin’s still bloated belly and his lips dropping another kiss on his boyfriend’s cheek before he whispered, “You still have those six pounds to go, baby.” 

“O-Oh…uh, yeah, I do…” Jimin stuttered out, not expecting the conversation to shift back so quickly and definitely not expecting to eat any more that night. However, Jimin was not a quitter and he loved seeing Yoongi worked up over his belly so he went with it. 

“More ice cream?” 

Jimin thought about it for a moment, trying to recall what was stocked in their kitchen. “Is there any of Hobi’s birthday cake left?” 

Yoongi nodded, knowing there was a few slices left on the second shelf of their fridge having thought about Jungkook eating them over the next few days. “You want cake instead?”

“No, cake too,” Jimin said simply, deciding to really go for it. If he and Jungkook were going to lose some weight soon, he should really take his opportunities to get some good stuffings in beforehand. 

“Too?” Yoongi asked, confused about what his boyfriend meant at first. 

“Yeah, can’t have birthday cake without ice cream, right?” Jimin replied with an innocent smile that Yoongi saw right through. His bloated belly that slightly calming down as Jimin digested his big dinner was only going to tighten back up, but neither of them was going to complain - exciting to see what their boyfriends thought when they returned too as Jimin made no mention of stuffing tonight especially when that was more Jungkook’s preference. 

Yoongi leaned forward, patting Jimin’s belly softly and placing a kiss on the younger’s lips. “You are so fucking sexy, Park Jimin. I love you so much,” he declared as he stood up, not taking his eyes off his boyfriend's beautiful body relaxed back on their couch. 

“I love you too, Yoonie. Don’t forget the sprinkles.” 

“I wouldn’t dare, Min,” Yoongi said with a smile as he walked out of the room. 

Jimin’s voice called out after him a few seconds later. “Can you add some whipped cream too?” 

“Of course!” 

“Maybe some of that caramel sauce that Hobi made too!” 

“Okay, Min, sounds good!”

“And some chocolate chips!” 

Yoongi nearly moaned in response to the order Jimin was racking up, “ Absolutely. ” 

All Yoongi got in response was Jimin’s happy laughter from the living room as he waited patiently for the hefty round two of his dessert. As he piled on the ingredients, the front opened to reveal their boyfriends returning home from their date. 

“We’re back, loves!” Hoseok called out followed by a stuffed-looking Jungkook saying, “We brought mochi!” 

Yoongi could have fallen over at the response from Jimin who seemed to be on a mission to kill him that night. 

“Ooh, mochi! Come share with me, Ggukie!”

New Scare and Sketch Info: The Other Pizzeria Owner

Kinda long post about a new OC. Buckle up…

So it turns out the guard we’ve been following isn’t the first owner of Pizza Sim. In fact, for this specific continuity, the restaurant has been in the testing stages for a month or two. Thanks to one manager-in-training, however, the method of accepting applicants has gotten a bit stricter.

This ToonMe!-rendered girl is Tracy “Trojan” Lockwood, here in the guise she assumed while in the restaurant. Using contracts, a wig, and a whole new wardrobe; she ran with the claim of being related to Mike Schmidt— a rather renown Freddy’s nightguard.

Though management was very skeptical (and her going through all this trouble practically worthless), they allowed her to continue the ruse and become a “manager”. She did her work dutifully. Making extra sure that the party rooms were clean, tending to the show-stage animatronics, and even buying low-risk items to maximize safety.

She would have been praised for her work if one detail hadn’t been noticed: She refused to follow Paragraph 4 of the Maintenance Checklist. And, what’s worse, reports quickly came in of the salvaged animatronics having signs of damage— Both physical and “mental”. Which, to the one man running that part of the business, meant that she was giving them the highest amount of voltage even after she turned them away.

Below is one particular example, where Salvage Model #3 (speculated to be Scrap Baby) is given a very powerful shock in the middle of a heated [and perhaps one-sided?] argument.

After receiving her certificate, management pulled her in for an inquiry. Many details have been kept private, but Tracy’s motives for the shocks have been made public. The short answer is that she had no prior knowledge of haunted animatronics and just assumed they were, and I quote: “freaks of robotic nature”. After being informed of the rumors, her opinion on them has not changed.

It is unknown where she is now, but it is assumed that she has moved to a better-fitting job. Either that, or she will soon be prosecuted for impersonation. Only time will tell.

…And yes, this is the character for my Certificate of Mediocrity run. At least her terrifying personality fits for this time of year (October)?

She’ll get a proper drawing for her disguise and her real self soon.

Not everyone can say they’ve been to the Big Apple, but  [ EVAN ALEXANDER SLATER ], a [ 28 ] year-old [ CIS MALE ] has lived in [ MANHATTAN ] for [ HIS WHOLE LIFE, ON AND OFF ]. This is the city of dreams and [ HE ] knows it, because they came to NYC to be an [ WRITER / COMPOSER ]. Well, that and as a/n [ COUCH CRASHER ] to [ IREUN ‘RAIN’ PAE ]. Living in the city means they meet all kinds of people, but everyone always seems to think they look like [ HARRY STYLES ]. They even got away with free cab fare once because of it!

HEADCANONS: (must list at least 3)

Born to an American realtor mother and English academic father, Evan jokes that he’s been ‘tossed around’ the UK and US all his life. Somewhat of an identity crisis there, with an accent too transatlantic to be British, but too Manchester-bred to ever pass for a true New Yorker.

Majored in Literature at Cambridge University (one of the few universities his father teaches at), and Music at Julliard. He’s a shy man with a talent for telling stories, be them through the paced out words of a poem or the right beat of a melody. It all started to click, upon the realization one doesn’t negate the other: but rather, it’s the perfect overlap of two distinct forms of art.

His life and personality are nothing but erratic. Periods of absolute bliss end with sudden crashes of chaos, the world which seemed to be floating peacefully above his head suddenly crashing on his shoulders. In a true example of this, Evan goes through phases of being on his parents’ good side, to striking a fight so immense that he finds himself crashing at a friend’s couch... for longer than intended.

Not quite the ever talked about Nepo Baby, but even through his struggles, Evan does have a safety-net to fall upon, should all fail. At 28, he’s finished a couple of poetry collections (published, but without much buzz outside of a niche), and contributed musical compositions to unknown artists, One Night Only concerts, and small upcoming off off ooooff Broadway shows.

Countless unfinished notebooks, guitars named after different literary heroines, poetry written on the back of cereal boxes. Messily rolled blunts, messy hair, ink littering his skin with little to no meaning.

Think young Richard Siken, and Richard Siken’s Crush. Think Kill Your Darlings. Think Tick Tick Boom’s Jon, La La Land’s Sebastian, Titanic’s Jack, Whiplash’s Andrew.

Think, a young man with feelings he can't always translate into speech, so he resorts to unorthodox ways instead.

Preparing for Parenthood: The Ultimate Checklist for New Moms

1. Introduction

Becoming a mom is one of the most exciting and rewarding journeys of life. However, it can also come with its challenges, especially as you prepare for the arrival of your little one. Being well-prepared can make the transition into motherhood much smoother and less stressful. To help you feel more confident and ready, we’ve put together a comprehensive checklist that covers all the essentials you’ll need to take care of both baby and yourself.

Whether it’s setting up the nursery or budgeting for baby care, this guide will support you every step of the way. If you’re looking for best gynecology in Andheri, or a best maternity doctor in Andheri, it’s important to consult with a trusted expert to ensure both you and your baby’s health are well-cared for.

2. Setting Up for Baby’s Arrival

Baby Essentials:

Your baby’s first few weeks will require some key items. Begin by stocking up on diapers, wipes, clothing, and swaddles. These are the basics for keeping your baby comfortable and clean. Don’t forget a crib or bassinet for safe sleep, along with a stroller and car seat for easy transportation.

Feeding Supplies:

Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle-feed, make sure you have the necessary equipment. For breastfeeding, you’ll need breast pads, a breast pump, and nursing pillows. If you’re bottle-feeding, stock up on bottles, nipples, and a sterilizer to keep everything clean.

Nursery Setup:

Create a peaceful space for your baby to sleep and play. Organize the nursery with storage solutions, a baby monitor for safety, and baby-proofing essentials like outlet covers and corner protectors.

Health and Hygiene:

Prepare for baby’s health needs by getting a baby thermometer, first aid kit, and grooming items like baby nail clippers and a hairbrush. Regular health checks are important, so these items will come in handy. If you’re seeking trusted women care hospitals in Andheri, it’s a good idea to find one that offers a comprehensive range of services, including newborn care.

3. Self-Care and Mental Preparation for Moms

Mental Health:

Preparing mentally for parenthood is just as important as preparing physically. The emotional changes that come with having a baby can be overwhelming, so make sure you’re mentally ready. Counseling or parenting classes can help you navigate these changes and provide you with tools to manage stress. Consulting with a gynecologist in Mumbai can also guide you on mental and physical health during pregnancy and after birth.

Physical Health:

Postpartum recovery varies for every mom, so understanding the process and knowing what to expect will help. Make arrangements for help with chores and ask your partner to support you. Don’t forget about your physical recovery—take time to rest and ask for help when needed. It’s essential to visit the best gynae in Mumbai for any post-birth checkups to ensure a smooth recovery.

Building a Support System:

It’s essential to have a reliable support system. This could include a trusted friend or family member to call when you need assistance. Have an open conversation with your partner about expectations and how to share responsibilities.

4. Financial Planning for Parenthood

Budgeting for Baby:

The cost of raising a baby can add up quickly. Start by estimating the cost of baby care essentials, including diapers, clothes, and healthcare expenses. You should also prepare for maternity/paternity leave and factor in any extra costs.

Insurance and Benefits:

Make sure your health insurance covers the newborn, and review any benefits your employer offers. It’s also a good idea to update your life insurance policy to ensure your family is financially protected. If you’re expecting and planning to deliver in the women care hospital near you, make sure it is covered under your insurance for a hassle-free experience.

5. Packing Your Hospital Bag

When it’s time to head to the hospital, make sure you’re ready. Pack comfortable clothes for yourself, toiletries, and snacks for energy. For your baby, pack a few outfits, diapers, and the car seat for the ride home. Don’t forget any special items like your birth plan, phone charger, and entertainment to keep you occupied during wait times. Choosing a top gynecologist in Mumbai to guide you through the delivery process is also key to ensuring a safe and supportive experience.

6. Preparing for Life After Baby

Establishing a Routine:

Once your baby arrives, life will be full of new routines. Discuss a flexible schedule with your partner for baby care and household tasks. You’ll also need to plan your meals and grocery shopping ahead of time.

Baby’s First Few Weeks:

During the first few weeks, adjusting to sleep patterns and learning the basics of baby care will be your top priorities. Be sure to schedule checkups for both mom and baby with a women care clinic that can address both your and your baby’s needs, offering peace of mind during those early days.

7. Conclusion

Following this checklist will help you feel more prepared for Parenthood, but remember to stay flexible as life with a newborn can be unpredictable. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when needed, and make sure to prioritize self-care. It’s okay to take things one step at a time and lean on your Women Care Clinic for support.

Kids Bedroom Safety Checklist: Discover the Must-Know Tips for a Safe Sleep Environment!

Kids Bedroom Safety Checklist: Discover the Must-Know Tips for a Safe Sleep Environment!Creating a safe and secure sleep environment for your child is crucial. When it comes to your child's bedroom, it's important to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety. By following this comprehensive Kids Bedroom Safety Checklist, you can childproof their room and provide a secure sleeping space that promotes a peaceful slumber. Key Takeaways: - Childproofing your child's bedroom is essential to create a secure sleep environment. - Choose furniture and equipment that prioritize safety, such as a sturdy changing table and a crib that meets safety standards. - Prevent suffocation and strangulation by avoiding powders, keeping the crib free of small objects, and dressing your child in safe sleepwear. - Take precautions if you choose to co-sleep, such as using a safe sleeping surface and removing pillows and blankets from the bed. - Prioritize your child's safety and implement the necessary childproofing measures to create a secure and comfortable sleeping space for them.

Choosing the Right Furniture and Equipment

When setting up your child's bedroom, it's crucial to choose the right furniture and equipment that prioritize safety. Opt for a sturdy changing table with a guardrail to prevent falls. This will ensure that your child remains safe and secure during diaper changes. When selecting a crib, it's important to look for a safe crib that meets the necessary standards. Make sure the crib has a guardrail to prevent your child from accidentally rolling out of bed. Additionally, ensure the mattress fits snugly within the crib to avoid any gaps that may pose a risk of entrapment. Consider the mattress firmness when choosing a crib mattress. It should be firm enough to provide support for your baby, reducing the risk of suffocation. A safe mattress should also fit securely within the crib, without any gaps that could pose a safety hazard. When it comes to the design of the crib, avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs, as these can be hazardous and increase the risk of entrapment. Additionally, ensure that the crib slat spacing meets safety standards to prevent your child from getting stuck between the slats. Avoid using bumper pads in the crib, as they can increase the risk of suffocation or strangulation. Instead, opt for a fitted sheet that securely covers the mattress. Dress your child in safe sleepwear when putting them to bed. Avoid using loose blankets or pillows, as these can pose suffocation hazards. Instead, consider using a wearable blanket or sleep sack to keep your child warm without the risk of covering their face. By choosing the right furniture and equipment for your child's bedroom, you can create a safe and secure sleep environment that promotes their well-being and ensures a restful night's sleep. Safety Checklist for Choosing Furniture and Equipment Item Safety Considerations Changing Table - Opt for a sturdy changing table with a guardrail to prevent falls. Crib - Choose a safe crib that meets safety standards. - Ensure the crib has a guardrail to prevent your child from rolling out of bed. - Check for appropriate spacing between slats and no decorative cut-outs that could pose a risk of entrapment. - Use a fitted sheet that securely covers the mattress instead of bumper pads. Crib Mattress - Select a mattress that provides sufficient firmness and fits securely within the crib. - Ensure there are no gaps between the mattress and crib that could pose a risk of entrapment. Sleepwear - Dress your child in safe sleepwear without loose blankets or pillows. - Consider using a wearable blanket or sleep sack to keep your child warm without the risk of covering their face.

Preventing Suffocation and Strangulation

Taking steps to prevent suffocation and strangulation in your child's bedroom is essential for their safety. By following these important precautions, you can create a secure sleep environment and minimize potential risks. - Avoid using baby or talcum powders in the bedroom. While these products may seem harmless, they can cause severe lung damage if inhaled. - Keep the crib free of small objects, plastic bags, and wrappings. Babies are curious and may accidentally swallow or suffocate on these items if they are within reach. - Ensure your baby sleeps on their back. This sleep position has been recommended by experts to reduce the risk of suffocation. - Do not use soft comforters, pillows, necklaces, or clothing with drawstrings in the crib. These items can potentially pose a strangulation hazard to your baby. To illustrate the importance of suffocation prevention, consider a study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study found that the use of soft bedding, including blankets and pillows, is a significant risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). By eliminating these items from your child's sleep environment, you can help ensure their safety and reduce the risk of suffocation.

Co-Sleeping Precautions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8I3sQEmhGc While co-sleeping with your child may be a personal choice, it's important to take precautions to ensure their safety throughout the night. Use a large mattress placed on the floor to provide ample space and a safe sleeping surface. This eliminates the risk of your baby falling off a raised bed. Additionally, it prevents the possibility of entrapment between the mattress and the bed frame. Remove pillows and loose blankets from the bed to reduce the risk of suffocation. Instead, dress your baby in appropriate nightclothes and use a sleep sack for warmth. This way, your baby's airway remains clear, promoting safe breathing during sleep. If your bed is raised, use mesh guardrails to prevent your baby from rolling off. Mesh guardrails are designed to be breathable and reduce the risk of your baby becoming trapped or entangled. Childproof the room and install a gate at the top of the staircase to prevent falls, especially if your child is mobile and may wander during the night. This extra layer of security ensures that your baby remains safe within the designated sleep area. Pay attention to your sensitivity to your baby's movements and consider alternative sleeping arrangements if you are a deep sleeper. Being aware of your baby's presence and movements is crucial to prevent accidental suffocation or injury during co-sleeping. Avoid co-sleeping if you have consumed alcohol or sedatives. These substances can impair your judgment and responsiveness, increasing the risk of accidental harm to your baby. It's important to prioritize the safety of your child by ensuring you are fully alert and capable of taking care of them. When getting ready for bed, dress in safe nightclothes without strings or jewelry that could potentially pose a strangulation risk for your baby. Opt for comfortable sleepwear that allows for unrestricted movement and doesn't have any small parts that could be a choking hazard. Lastly, keep pets out of the bed to ensure your baby's safety. While pets can provide comfort and companionship, there is always a risk of accidental harm or injury when they are in close proximity to your baby during sleep. By taking these co-sleeping precautions, you can create a safe and secure sleep environment for both you and your baby, allowing for a peaceful and restful night's sleep.

Conclusion

Prioritizing your child's safety when it comes to their bedroom is essential for their overall well-being. By following this comprehensive Kids Bedroom Safety Checklist, you can create a secure sleep environment that promotes a peaceful slumber for your child. From choosing the right furniture and equipment to preventing suffocation and co-sleeping safely, these essential steps will help ensure your child's safety and provide you with peace of mind. Implement the necessary childproofing measures, such as securing furniture to the wall, covering electrical outlets, and using safety gates, to create a secure and comfortable sleeping space for your child. Remove any potential hazards from their reach, such as small objects or cords, and ensure that the room is well-ventilated and at an appropriate temperature for sleep. Regularly inspect the bedroom for any potential dangers and stay updated on the latest safety guidelines. By staying vigilant and proactive in creating a safe environment, you can protect your child from accidents and give them the best chance of a restful night's sleep.
