#I love capes so much that I had way too many refs

[abstract-crossverse]

can you do a halt x reader x rush (from doors)

:3

*cracks knuckles* a two in one I see. Back to work for me!

Designs for these may take a while, Rush will be quick since yall have seen my design for him multiple times, just not in full color. Halt however is what Im most certain I'll have a time with, so many concepts for them, dress, cape, hood, I cant choose!

This is going to be extra long I know it

Btw, I'll be using they/them for Halt, Theyre both king and queen, best of both things ;] /ref

===========================

Halt x Reader x Rush [headcanons/fic, fluff]

-> alr so honestly, the two are a very balanced duo if you put in theory, but in practice its a 50/50 if it works

-> hype energy bf and calm/no energy partner, pick your poison *you take both*

-> let's get on with how you meet before I forget my ideas

-> you met Rush first, of course you did, he's the first dude you meet unless your unlucky enough to meet Screech or Ambush before Rush can get the first sweep of the place *shudders at Ambush on door 2*

-> you're either really scared of him or thinks he's a mild inconvenience at best, though you'd rather have him charging at you than Ambush any day

-> you once lost the company of another Player to him, left you shook... In fact, that you you got that "Betrayal" badge thats hooked to your keychain.. you dont know how they get there, you didnt even have anything hooked to you when you woke up here, it was just a metal loop attached to your pocket, you're thankful theyre made of felt and embroidery, otherwise Figure would always know where you stood

-> you could kinda consider yourself a veteran here, you've been here before the Hotel got a rework, which threw you off significantly, when you saw the little note on the Lobby letting you and other Player's know of the update you didnt think they changed much

-> though you were surprised when they even had new entities around, took you a moment to get used to the new changes... Rush even more so, you'd often see him faceplant into walls sometimes or accidently knock over things as he ran because he wasnt used to the new changes either

-> it was often endearing to watch from the closet, sometimes he'd even stop for a moment, trying to figure out how to run through a room , thankfully he would be gone before Hide got mad mad at you

-> but comes the day both yours and his luck runs out

-> you saw the lights flicker and speed walked your way to a closet, you waited until you heard him screaming and breaking lights before walking into the closet

-> he got half way through the room before a bookshelf suddenly fell on top of him. You heard the screaming stop, replaced by a loud yell and profanities that made you double take, where you hearing this right?... Could Rush speak? You usually didnt come across other Players on the whim and you were traversing the hotel again alone

-> the voice you heard was glitchy, deep and loud, but hoarse and scratchy at the same time, he is always screaming after all, but how he can still be loud as he is puzzles you, you can even hear a boston accent in his voice

-> you snapped back from your thoughts as you say the bold black and red letters "GET OUT" flashy before your eyes, but you were too late to get your body to move, Hide pushed you out and you fell with a rough thump, the wooden floor wasnt too pleasant to fall on. The carped falling just short enough it wouldn't cushion your fall, you groaned in pain

-> Rush stared at you from his spot, falling silent as you regained your ground, he honestly didnt think there was anyone in the closet- he never does, thats the whole purpose of hiding. Honestly he thought you were quite good looking but nevermind that! He's fuckin' STUCK and he feels HUMILIATED dont look his way please dont witness him please ple- aw fuck you're looking at him, just lovely...

-

You stared down the bigger entity stuck under the book shelf and it's books, trying to understand why he had arms... Pretty strong looking ones too, hands dressed in black gloves. You blinked once, twice, you were clearly confused out of your mind, you came back to reality when you hear a deep groan coming from the entity

"ya got a starin' problem, pipsqueak?? Ya gonna help or what?" He scoffed, you double take'd, did he just call you pipsqueak??

"the fuck did you just call me?" You weren't mad, the situation was just really... Surreal? This place is surreal, thats not the word... Just, strange in general, you never thought you'd get to talk at all with these entities, specially like this

Rush deadpanned "pipsqueak, I called you pipsqueak, ya deaf or somethin'?" You stammered "n- no!- I just- I'm really taken a back right now is all-" you waved your hands as you denied, you slowly walked up to him after a moment of hesitation

"do you... Want- help?" You offered, he looked so offended "n- no! Im completely fine, I can get out by myself thank you very much!" He struggled to pull himself out, that shelf was really heavy what the hell ".... You don't- look fine." You added, a small grin starting to form on your face as you watched the entity barely move from where he was

He sighed dramatically, glaring at you with empty eye sockets "YOU don't look fine." "I'm not, I've been stuck here for months, maybe it's already been a year, I can't tell. Of course I'm not fine." He looked surprised, that was the most painfully honest answer he's heard about your situation, others would either say they're completely fine or just- not engage anymore

He stared at you for an... Uncomfortably long time before you approached him, analyzing the bookshelf over him in search of a way to get him out without having to try and shove it, if even this... Large.... Entity, couldn't raise it himself, what's to think you could? But you're not leaving him there to possibly have him holding grudges against you because you left him there. Rush was still staring at you, waiting for what you would do next

You hummed, placing your hands on your hips as you thought for a moment, "alright, listen, I'll need you to cooperate if you wanna get out of there, 'kay? I'm gonna try to push the shelf up so you'll have less weight on you and you try to pull yourself out." You explained as he nodded, you placed your hands on the edge of the shelf, counting down from three before you used all your strength to push it up even if just a bit

Rush pulled himself out with a bit of struggle, but at least he was out, you dropped the shelf as soon as he took his distance from you and the shelf, it fell with a harsh thump, shaking the ground under you enough you lost your ballance. You yelped and braced for impact with the ground, shutting your eyes, but instead you felt two large hands holding you by your back, they felt... Fuzzy.. like what you'd think static feels like but also not at the same time, warm, it was also warm

You opened your eyes, trailing them up to the entity holding you, you stared into each other's eyes for what felt like hours, before he spoke

"... You are SO tiny, holy shit-" Rush spoke with a laugh slipping through his words, you deadpanned "nah I'm not tiny, you're just fucking huge." You stated, you stared at each other for a bit longer, you taking in the fact the entity that seemed like a giant furball with a smiley face now had one hunk of a body to match, while Rush analysed you curiously, your clothes, your hair, your eyes, little visual details you have about yourself that people wouldnt exactly see if they didnt pay attention.

He had quite the toned figure it seemed, he styled a grey-ish purple button-down with its sleeves rolled up above his elbows and black tie, a dark grey vest with thin, light grey stripes going down the vest and dress pants in the same style- wait when did he get legs- he had a shadowy ghost tail just now- oh fuck it he's an entity beyond your comprehension, of course he can probably shapeshift. Looking back at his face you noted all the little withers and cracks on his face, you wandered if it was always like that or if he go through something to get like that, the shadowy, fluffy looking mass that you normally saw engulfed his entire body seemed to work like hair- or the rest of his head since his face did remind you of a mask of sorts... He had a grin on his face as he looked at you, his eye sockets seemed to distort and move as if they were eyelids, one of the eye sockets seemed to be half-lidded now as the other stayed open, you think he just lifted a brow at you

"take a picture, good-lookin', it'll last longer." His grin widened as you widened your eyes, growing embarrassed as you finally realized you were staring too long, not like he blamed you though, he'd be staring too if he were in your shoes. He chuckled at the red overtaking your cheeks, you looked aside with a small click of your tongue, you both feel silent as it dawned on you that he could just kill you right now, he had you in his hands

"... Are you going to kill me?" You asked in a mutter, his grin fell for a second, he looked at the door ahead of you both before looking back "I kinda owe ya for helpin' me, e~ven though I could've gotten out on my own!" He grinned as you deadpanned, he's that prideful huh, "so let's settle that right now, I let ya live and won't bother ya for... Say... The next 10 rooms?" You thought for a second, a hand on your face, completely forgetting he was still holding you as if in mid dip

".. 20 rooms." You argued "15.", "18, take it or leave it." You grinned, thinking you had the upper hand, but what made you think you could argue like that with a creature that can kill you right now? "15 and final, or would you rather give that up for your life?" He argued with a shit-eating grin on his face, you glared at him, you hated that he was right, you can't just throw away a chance like that, "fine. Deal." You extended a hand for him to shake, you felt one of his hands leave your back and took your hand in his, almost enveloping your entire hand as you shook hands

He pulled you back on your feet and you immediately stepped away from him, putting a decent distance between you, that made him laugh. "Still scared of me, Pipsqueak? I don't bite!... Not for now at least~" he sang, his body envoloped in shadows again as he dashed down the halls again in a matter of seconds, screaming again. You winced, having forgotten how loud he is for a moment, the sudden wind made by him messed up your clothes a bit.

Sighing, you corrected you clothes and walked along the next rooms, which for your "joy", were all dark rooms.... Fuck.

-

-> after that Rush kinda... seemed to linger in the room a few times when he decided to run by, which was annoying if Hide was especially mad at you. It confused you as well, was he looking for something?

-> But for now lets divert our attention to the blue specter youve just had the luck to get yoinked by- like you know how they basically kinda pull you into their corridor and you have to do the back and forth to get out? thats what I mean

-> Halt heard of you from Rush, the couple of times they actually talked at least, Halt is very reserved and it's not often they talk with the more... loud entities, Rush, Figure, Ambush. They don't talk with them a lot due to their liking to silence better, other entities like Seek, Hide, Eyes know them better as they're more quite.

-> However, Halt and Rush bump into each other from time to time and make small talk until Halt decided thats enough socializing for the hour. Rush told them about them a when they bumped into each other again, saying how a "cute lil' player helped him when he got himself stuck under a heavy ass bookshelf", it made Halt curious, especially when Rush would mention you didn't seem all that scared of him

-> Of course he got a description from the bigger entity and soon when on his search, he was far too curious of this... player who put their own 'run' at risk by helping one of them, so for the past month Halt pulled people into their hall more often than not, but not having the luck of finding you until about a month later

-> And to their luck, you were the backwards walk kind of player when they appeared in front of you

-> They analyzed your appearance, and found you were a direct match from what Rush told them, so for once, they stopped their pattern, chasing after you until your back hit the locked door you entered through

-> You grew confused and a bit scared, this wasnt the usual pattern, you couldnt escape, what the hell!

-> You felt a shiver down your spine, the corridor suddenly felt so much colder than before. The ghostly figure loomed over you with their glowing blue eyes staring you down. Suddenly only their eyes filled your vision, similar to how they'd tell you to turn around before the hotel got it's renovation, making you flinch and blink hard

-> Next thing you knew, a tall, slender figure was in front of you, so all of the entities can have a humanoid body? Not the time to question that now, what the fuck is going on

-> The figure wore a long dark blue-ish cloak, it was slightly torn on the edges(probably because of time, you'd guess) and had a shiny 4 pointed, light blue star pendent keeping it together near the hood. The cloak obscured the rest of its body, and the gloominess of the room didn't help in the slightest, you could see it wore black boots though; It's face was covered by a veil like fabric, similar to how Halt looked earlier, it's bright blue eyes staring dead into your soul, it intimidated you, especially with how close it was

-> You tried to keep yourself from showing fear, though you struggled to do so, this situation was really weird, they cornered you right at the start of the hall and arent moving away, just staring you down

-> Your heart threatened to jump out of your chest with how it was beating, you really wanted to stop staring at them, avert your eyes and brace for the worse but something kept you from it, giving you only moments to glance away in discomfort, you heard a reverberated hum before it turned around

-> "Rush was right." They mumbled lowly, before walking away and disappearing into the floor, the aura in the room dimmed, meaning they werent there anymore as you finally let out a breath you didnt know you were holding. Seriously what the fuck was that??? Whatever, you can think about that later, right now just focus on running out of this claustrophobic ass hall

→ After that weird encounter you felt like Halt would always show up in almost every run you had, and more than once. Eventually you grew fed up, what was their deal? Did they need something?

→ So the next time he pulled you into their corridor, you stood your ground and asked what they wanted in an annoyed tone. Surprising to say it took Halt off guard that you decided to confront them instead of running away

→ So they stood in place, not getting closer nor teleporting behind you, and its whatever if they kill you now, this run was a very unlucky one regardless...

-

"Okay, what's your deal, man? What do you want, either Im going insane or you're tormenting me far more often than usual." You complained, crossing your arms as you glared at the veiled entity in front of you, they stood, unmoving aside the light floating of their clothes from the chilly wind that somehow flowed through the closed hall

You raised a brow as their eyes seemed to move ever so slightly, seeming to scan your face for anything, perhaps were they trying to feel even a twinge of fear from you? Even if they did it would be overly covered by annoyance and frustration, their hall is very annoying to get through

They lowered their head a bit to look at the ground momentarily as they thought about how to articulate an answer, soon enough, they came up with something to say

"you are... Interesting... You helped one of my comrades when he was in distress... You confuse me..." They spoke, their voice echoing through the hall, it was breathy and soft, and quite monotone too. Hearing them surprised you a bit

"... Could you elaborate?" Your expression softened from the sneer you held before, they looked aside a bit again before looking back at you, staring dead into your eyes as if they tried to get a look into your soul

"no humans help us, none of them ever have, if one of us ends up getting stuck they either mock, run away or just stare in confusion... But you, you were kind— or pitiful —enough to help Rush from under the heavy bookshelf... That confuses me..." He paused briefly, raising his hand to snap his clawed fingers, surprisingly they weren't as sharp as the ones Rush has "Rush could snap you in half faster than I can snap my fingers... Why did you decide to help him?"

You were stunned at their words for a moment, standing still as you mind processed what they said before you unsurely shrug as you shook you head lightly "cause and consequence I guess? I mean, I'd be mad if someone mocked me while I was stuck under a bookshelf too, and given how... Murderous... He is- I didn't want to get an extra painful death because he'd be in a bad mood afterwards..." You rambled, gripping your arms as you did

Halt listened intently, nodding as you finished talking, you heard a hum coming from them as they glided closer, at least you figured they glided as you only heard a wind whistle instead of footsteps, but when you looked back up they were inches from your face, you nearly jumped in a scare, letting you a choked yelp as you stepped back for some distance

"May you answer some more questions? Curiosity is eating at me, I promise to let you leave unharmed afterwards." They said, not moving from their spot in mid air, they didn't seem to like moving too much. You nodded after a moment of hesitation "but.. how can I really trust you?"

"Im an entity of word. Besides, are you really willing to let this opportunity to learn more about this place go? I know you humans are oh-so curious about this facility." They tilted their head at you, you took a moment before nodding, they were right after all, again, not everyday you get to talk to an entity like this.

And so you both sat down.

-

→ You two talked for a long while, last time you check the clock outside the hall it was at least 3pm. It sure felt like an eternity inside the hall, and eventually you both drifted from the initial questions to other topics, like how the other entities acted, or things you remember about your own life, and even some gossip that had you both giggling and laughing

→ Just don't tell anyone you got this info from Halt, if anyone asks, you know nothing ;]

→ After a while, Halt grew tired sounding and quiet, letting you do most of the talking until you caught onto the fact they were tired now. You suggested you wrap up the night, but said you really enjoyed talking with them

→ They seemed to hum happily as you got up from your spots, saying the same to you and leading you to the end of the corridor. You felt a cold hand on your shoulder before you left, a reminder of your new found friend as you shivered at the sudden warm air hitting you cold form, you grew used to Halts cold room to the point where the normal air from the hotel nearly felt like a punch to the face

→ And so that was your routine fron then on, watch from a closet as Rush lingered around the room whenever he came by, talk to Half for a couple of hours and then move on with your run

→ Eventually, Rush lingered a little bit too long, and Hide was especially impatient tonight so you can guess what happened. You got shoved out as Rush was still looking around the room

→ You yelled as you were shoved out, but before you hit the floor you felt those familiar hands grab your shirt and lift you up, and in a matter of seconds, you were face to face with the Static creature again. Your eyes widen as he glared at you with empty eyes and a grin before realizing it was you

-> "Pipsqueak! It's you! I've been lookin' for ya!" He said with a laugh, placing you down and patting your shoulder, you couldn't even process when his body shifted to it's humanoid form, just taking a moment to absorb the situation

-> But Rush kept talking. "I really wanted to meet with ya again, Halt said y'all met?" He questioned, tugging you along as he walked to the next room, as he knew the next room at least had a couch you two could sit at

-> You stammered as confirmation, almost tripping over your feet as you walked with him. He let go of you as you got to the couch and dropped himself on one side of it, it creaked under his weight as he crossed his legs, patting the spot next to him after you were left standing for a few moments more

-> You sat down awkwardly as the entity next to you occupied a lot of the couch, what being 8 feet tall does to a motherfucker, anyway. He didn't seem to mind how you were still processing what was going on, and still asked you a lot of things, which you reluctantly answered because... Did you really have a choice on the matter? Though you did notice he gave off a warmth as you sat close to him

-> After a while you did ease into the conversation, which seemed to please him. He joked and told you funny stories about things he's done, be it with other players or other entities. It made him laugh as he told you the stories, you laughed along, his laugh was quite the contagious one

-> Once he seemed to run out of stories to tell you, you spoke up. "Why.. are you telling me this? And why were you looking for me?"

-> "Huh?-" he looked down at you for a moment, before processing your questions properly "Oh! Well, Halt mentioned how they were talkin' to you so often and how you were so nice to talk to n' blah blah blah. So I wanted to hear it for myself, and they were right! You are real nice t' talk to."

-> You blinked "they talk about me?" Rush jerked his head aside "eeeh not really??.. just when I bump into them at least, I usually ask how yer doin' given I can never find ya 'round." He dismissed quickly, you almost saw a darker shade of grey on his withered face. You'll never know he lied a bit, Halt mentioned you've been chatting often, but they didn't really share much of how you behaved, he'd never admit it but he felt a little bit jealous that Halt got to talk to you more than he did, he met and saw you first! He wants to talk to you too!! Why do you think he's been searching for you?

-> "A~nyway... I did like talkin' to ya, even if I did most of the talkin', I get I can be a lil' too fast for people to catch up with." He scratched the back of his head, you couldn't help but giggle a tiny bit "it was nice to chat with you too, Rush."

-> He said you should talk more, and you said sure, as long as he doesn't kill you if he comes running in, that made he laugh as he agreed

-> So, new routine again, talk with Rush as you two walk through the rooms a bit and then talk with Halt for a few hours, wether you get to the final elevator didnt really matter as much anymore

-> Eventually you finally got the two in the same room, Halt finally decided to come out of his corridor for once because you wanted to show him a cool plant in the Greenhouse

-> And oh what a coincidence! It was a room Rush was running to! What a silly coincidence!! He totally didn't bribe Screech to spy on you both and Halt was getting a little too close nope not at all :]]]]

-

You shined your flashlight at the Peace Lily that was blooming in one of the pots

"It's so cool that it grew in these conditions!" You gushed at the flower, Halt hummed, "certainly, I haven't seen a flower grow in a long while..." Their voice echoed around the room "I used to love these... It's also quite ironic a Peace Lily is growing here of all places"

You chuckled "yep, peace is not something to happen here, at least not to often..-" you got cut off by the sound of a particularly strong gush of wind hitting against the window and making it shake in its hinges, it startled you for a moment as you shivered at the remnants of a breeze managed to slip through the small gaps in the frame

"hmm... Seems like the storm is picking up, that hasn't happened in a while..." They turned their attention to the window before looking down at you, it took them a moment to realize you were cold before they fumbled with the broche on their cloak, they couldn't feel any more cold than they already were so its a bit hard to tell change in temperature

"oh forgive me, I didn't know it was cold, here-" they enveloped you in their large coat before you could say anything, you expected it to be cold just like they are, but you were quickly proven wrong as warmth took over your body, the quick change in temperature made you hair stand

"o-oh!- th-thanks-" you stuttered, noticing that Halt wore a pearly white, ruffled shirt with a cyan vest over it and a black puffy ascot around their neck, it seemed like many of the entities sported the same style of clothing, suits or vests... Was it a dress code they went by?

"it is no problem-" this time, Halt was interrupted by the loud static noise of Rush zooming near, Halt stared at the door you came through and immediately pulled you behind them, for whatever reason, they knew you talked to Rush already, why did they pull you back?

As soon as Rush entered the room and saw Halt, he stopped and took his usual humanoid form

"Oh! Halt! Buddy there you are! You dont usually leave your hall what's got ya all the way over here?-" he questioned, though his tone sounded a bit fake, like he already knew why Halt was here

Halt took a moment before responding, mumbling a hello as they slightly lowered their head, why did they seem so... Apprehensive? Annoyed maybe? It's hard to read this guy. Rush finally saw you and made a gesture by opening his arms

"Pipsqueak! There you are! What'cha doin' here with Halt? Y'all doin' anythin' fun?" He pried, and finally noticed you had Halt's cloak "... And uh, why do ya have their cloak?" His tone sounded a bit more strained now, his usual casual grin seemed a bit more forced

"I-" you started, unsure of what to say before Halt cut you off "they were cold, so I lended them my cloak. I may be one of the coldest entities here but my cloak is quite the blanket." They stated, staring up at Rush

"oh really? Well if they're cold they could've come look for me! Some say I'm quite the heat pack, y'know?" The taller entity laughed, his voice booming around the room "Plus, ya know very well these rooms aren't the safest." His voice fell serious, though still with a playful undertone, you grew confused, the fuck was this interaction

Halt scoffed "I am aware, Rush. However, they wanted to show me this lovely flower, I couldn't say No to such an interesting offer." They gestured to the Lily near you both "It's been a while since I've seen an actual flower, after all, the other only living plant here is...." Halt gently moved your hand to shine your flashlight at the snare on the floor, waiting for its next victim to trap

Rush was silent for a couple moment after looking at the snare, he turned himself to the Lily again, humming in thought "Well... that is a pretty nice flower.... the hell has he been doin'?..." he mumbled, shaking his head as he turned back to the conversation

"Nevermind that! C'mon, Pipsqueak, let's get outta here before ya get yourself hurt. An' Halt uuh... ya-.. ya can go back to ya room, I guess, ya never stay out for long anyway..." Rush mumbled, walking around Halt and put a hand on your back, leading you with him to the previous door slowly to keep up with you. But for some reason, the room felt colder than before, you shivered in discomfort, Halt heard it.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Halt questioned, their voice sounding stronger and passive-aggressive "Do speak your mind, Rush, you were never one to hold you thoughts to yourself anyway." they tilted their head at Rush as the room grew colder with every word, you felt Rush start to tense as you looked back at the ghostly entity

"OOOOkay!-" Rush laughed, you could hear a hit of forcefulness on his voice as he turned to Halt, putting his hands on his hips as he cackled "THOSE are some fightin' words, Buddy. Ya REALLY wanna go down that path?" He looked down at Halt, still being taller than them by a foot

"You started it, but If The Boot Fits I don't mind an altercation." You shuddered at Halt's tone, and at the cold getting so much worse that the windows have started to frost, you could see a small confused looking face staring from the other side, Sally was here

You got between the two, pushing them apart was they were glaring at each other "ENOUGH you both! There's someone else here, and Halt- you're fr-freezing the room." you shivered as you looked up at Halt and motioned at the half frosted window, the two looked over at the window and Sally quickly hid away from view with a small, echo-y gasp

Halt looked away to take some deep breaths and calm down, as Rush walked over to the window to talk to Sally a bit, it sounded like a bit of a lecture but you didn't care to process what he was blabbing about, focusing more on Halt and gently patting their arm to help, they looked back at you

"My apologies for my behavior.... I did not- mean to grow so upset..." they gently put their hand over yours on their arm, you shook your head "it's okay, you don't have to apologize, I'd be mad too. Just because you like being by yourself doesn't mean they get to just dismiss you like that." Their eyes seemed to soften their glow as you spoke, they hummed "usually I don't mind, I enjoy being given the assurance that I can leave if I wish to, but... this was just insulting..."

You nodded, they turned to you after a moment of silence, this time now holding both your hands, which caught you a bit by surprise

"[Name]... I know this may not be an appropriate place for such a thing, but I can no longer keep this to myself. It has been a delight to interact with you when you come around, I treasure every second we spend together and you're simply just..... an amazing person to be around, you bring me a warmth I've never had or felt before.... I was... wondering if....." they seemed to struggle a bit, which was odd since they always spoke so flawlessly, though you didn't mind it one bit. If this monologue was going in the direction you think it is then interrupting isn't an option

"my apologies, words are hard at the moment-" they mumbled "ah.... if-... you'd like to... be my partner...?" their eyes shifted, looking nervous and worried for your reaction as their hands got colder against yours

You were stunned for a moment, blinking dumbfoundedly, attempting to stammer some reply out but to no avail

Then Rush put an arm around you

"HEYYYY WHAT YALL TALKIN' ABOUT OVER HERE??" He loudly questioned, pulling you closer to his side, Halt seemed to deadpan at him, huffing annoyedly "Rush, you are ruining our moment."

"Moment? What moment?" Rush feigned cluelessness, then pulled you away from Halt, talking about how you had to get out of the greenhouse because it wasnt safe, or something, you didnt really listen as you looked over his arm at Halt, they seemed to still be holding their hands in the same position they were when holding yours but slightly reaching outat you

You mouthed a sorry back at him as Rush got you out the door.

-

→ good lord I got carried away, anyway

→ after that Rush seemed to always find you before you even managed to get in a closet, well, not find you but run into the room before you could get in

-> Hide mightve had a hand in it but you dont know that, they just want Rush to stop bugging them about it

-> Rush would tackle you to the floor and pretend hewas gonna bite you, then he'd laugh a bit before pulling you back to your feet, much to your annoyance he keeps on teasing you about being a little flinchy around him

-> He cant blame you though! He's killed you before when you first got here and he's unpredictable

-> But now you get to be the listener in a conversation again so thats something, he talks non stop, excited to talk to you

-> He drags you around to find a comfy place to sit down and chat while he talks. He constantly moves, some times after sitting on the couch for too long he gets up and paces around while he talks, sometimes sits on the ground in front or next to you.

-> Though his topics are interesting to talk about sometimes you end up even falling asleep while he talks

-> Another thing is that ever since that day, he's taken so much of your time and energy you havent gotten to talk to Halt at all, until they came to you after you and Rush were done talking

-> you shuddered as that familiar cold embraced your form again, smiling a bit at the quiet in the hallway, taking a few steps away from the door as Halt showed up.

-> you greeted them, and though they didnt respond, you explained how Rush was talking to you so often, how draining it was by the end of your conversations. You looked tired, they could tell

-> they didnt say a word as they hovered to you and wrapped their arms around you along with their cloak, you were surprised but melted into their cold form, wrapping your own arms around them

-> they guided you to the usual spot you two would sit down at, without letting you go, you leaned your head against their shoulder with a sigh as they held you with an arm, holding one of your hands with the other

-> You were dozing off, closing your eyes as you curled up to their side, you felt them adjust their cloak around you again

-> You heard a whisper from them, sounded like something along the lines of "I love you"? You werent sure, you could've misheard it, the memories of that night at the greenhouse came back briefly, you hummed softly as you snuggled to them, gently squeezing their hand mumbling the same back to them as you fell asleep

-> Next time you saw Rush, he was actually not running this time, standing in the middle of one of the rooms with Halt, they seemed to be arguing about something. The room was cold

-> You shivered as you walked in, Halt noticed you first and greeted you with a nod before Rush greeted you by saying your name happily, you waved

-> Rush requested you put an end to their argument and choose for them, which one is better in terms of their work

-> And well, given theyre both the easiest to avoid, Rush is deadlier with his strenght and Speed but Halt is harmful for his confusing rules that makes Players have to turn around and walk back and forth until theyre out of the hall. Your answer was that theyre both the best in their own different ways

-> They seemed satified enough, Halt more than Rush, though Rush got another idea and smirked, asking you who you liked better

-> That confused and flustered you, you stammered, claiming not knowing what he meant. So he repeated in better detail, who you like better to hang out

-> Of course you said both are nice to hang out with in their own ways, but that didnt satisfy Rush, he just kept pushing even as Halt attempted to stop him from doing so

-

"So? I'm still waitin' for an answer!" Rush crossed his arms with a smirk on his face "Rush, that's enough, dont you think?" Halt questioned

"No! I want a definate answer from them. Who do you like best??" It got to the point you didnt know how to answer anymore, you gave them your true answer what else does he want?

"Why are does it matter so much? I gave you the only answer I have" you shrugged "Because we're in love with you and you gotta choose onna us, wasn't it obvious?" Rush stated calmly

The way he said it so calmly, as if it was obvious information gave you a hard whiplash, your face flushing red as Halt smacked the back of Rush's head harshly

"Way to blow it, Rush. They'll hate us now!" For once, Halt raised their voice, even if slightly, the two began to argue again "Naw they won't! Plus, you already confessed that day at the Greenhouse and they don't seem to hate you for it!"

You tuned them out as you thought about what he just said, you've been catching feeling for them for a while, the two were charming in their own ways, it would be hard to choose one of them, but guess what! You have Two Hands!

-

-> And thats what you told them, they were stunned for a moment, a deeper shade of grey floded Rush's cheeks while Halt seemed to glow brighter

-> they agreed to your offer, so you were now officially a polyamory couple

-> they did tell you the dangers of the entity the other players named Jack, and that he's not to know youre dating them

-> theyre both lovely and attentive to you, and incredible cuddlers too, Rush is very warm to cuddle with on colder nights and Halt is lovely to cuddle on hotter nights

-> Rush takes you on rides around the hotel sometimes on his back, and Halt shows you the quiet spots he hangs out on if he needs to detress

-> They still argue a bunch and youre usually the mediator, until the argument's with you-

-> They love you very much, they couldnt be happier every since you agreed to be theirs

===========================

FUCK THIS TOOK SO LONG IM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO WRITE THIS, life got in the way and hyperfixations changed, but I really want to get back to writing and now that this is done, I can write other things in my inbox.

Never ask me to do duos again before Ive done their intro fics lmao /hj/lh

I did enjoy writing this though dw

[mapsofnonexistentplaces]

hi cube!! i wanted to ask something about your guys bc i plan on drawing them for artfight sometime soon... i saw that olzhas is into leather - do you have pictures/refs on the types of leather e would wear? also, would isel wear leather too? would love to draw them in some cool outfits hehe

ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED THE TAB WHILE ANSWERING THIS LETS START AGAIN.

uhh general thing about olzhas is that e doesn't like things that are overwhelmingly constricting especially near the face/chest/upper arms, so stuff like masks or fullbody suits aren't the most appropriate for em. things e tends to favor are harnesses, vests, loose leather pants, big gloves/boots, choker type things, belts are also a big thing both in terms of Actual wear and just bondage for em lol. same with gloves. basically anything that falls under those terms that that you can find in my leather tag would be good to reference i think

if i had to pick like a handful of images to get general ideas across itd probably be these?

FOR ISEL. briefly discussed with my boyfriend that he'd be a bit more casual with it like in a weird old school rockstar kind of way, like at most putting on like a cool leather jacket or some pants or smth, kind of posited the idea that he's way more into like. fancy frilly things to contrast with olzhas' angularity in leather. we agreed he's like the type of guy to just wear a ribbon shirt very loosely (idea that came up was him wearing some shit like this over his shoulders like a cape or unbuttoned or some shit

isel's much less about constraint and way more about fluidity. uhh like even anything tight he wears i imagine just has some 'primness' to it like dude loves shit that's ribbons based, loves scarfs, loves gold jewellery and pearls. shit like that. also a gloves guy but in a much more like. soft and silky medium than olzhas id say. basically imagine like an evil rich lady in an old timey film's outfit and it's almost definitely up his alley

oh actually very quick tldr to that that i can supply. if you want to maintain the leather theme between the two vaguely id suggest just looking up like glam rock costumes and adapting the sort of 'classier' stuff from there for isel....

HOPE THIS HELPS i have many thoughts on this.... naturally....

Sometimes life is overwhelming

Even though we live in a world full of technology today and so many things are so much easier than it was years ago, it has also made things harder in some ways.

Women have to be supermoms, super wives, and super workforce women. We have to have it all, big, important jobs, perfect lives, and kids in every sport and activities imaginable. We have to keep up with the Jones, and we have to look like Barbie at all times while doing it all.

I know how hard it is to be a single mom of two girls. I own my own home and all the repairs and maintenance that go along with it. I work 3 jobs (I own a professional organizing and personal assistant business. I do hair at night, and whenever possible, I do focus groups to make extra money. I also do this blog on 6 different sites, 5 days a week. I work out 5 mornings a week at 5:30 am. I go to church and volunteer whenever needed.

On top of all that, I spend time with my girls, my friends, and I am trying to date again. Damn! I am tired just writing all of this! Yes, there are some days I have no idea how I do it all as I know many of you out there feel this as well. We beat ourselves when we don't get it all done if our houses aren't spotless. If we snap at little things because, honestly, we are at wits end most of the time.

So today my friends, let go... I've learned to let it go. It's okay that the house wasn't always clean. Or if I had a list as long as my arm of errands and I don't get it all done. Instead, I chose to spend time with people I love. Life is too short, and trust me, the world is not going to end if our lists are not done or if there are dishes in the sink. No, enjoy the moment, live in it, live big, and live well. Laugh often, be present, enjoy your life, and feel grateful for every second you have… because it is not a guarantee that you will get another.

So take off your superhero cape, and throw it out the window, turn up the music, sing at the top of your lungs and smile big...believe me the dishes are not having as much fun as you are!

Hiya! I'd love to enter into the Ori children ask event! I've been lurking for a bit and this is so cool so I wanted to hop in! Thank you so much in advance if you choose to do mine!!! -Koda

Also warning it's a long ask ^^'

Information requested:

Skykid Info:

Name/Pronouns: Kodiak—He/Him

Height: Chibi XL (this is his height vs. a tall person)

Personality:

At first, he's shy, timid, easily spooked. Quiet and always aware of what's going on around him.

Once he gets to know you? A goofball that you'll wish you never met. Loyal, happy-go-lucky. Too trusting for his own good. A creature of pride, he will try to impress anyone he considers a mentor or a teacher and will go to any lengths to accomplish this task.

When feeling hurt or wanting to get away from everyone, he'll go find something to distract himself with, dangerous or not (but mostly dangerous). He'll either go krill dodge, leap off of the citadel without opening his cape until the last possible second or go wade through polluted waters.

Backstory:

Instead of waking up in the Isle, Kodiak woke up in the middle of the Windpaths on one of the middle islands by the Forest entrance. Navigator found him and carried him back to the island, causing Kodiak to form a sort of parent/mentor attachment to him. (Navi didn't ask for this but eventually was happy as he had someone else to guide and teach how to fly).

He made his way through the realms from the Windpath entrances, everytime bringing back wax and little trinkets that he found to show the spirits (this always concerned the Spirit Guide, but Builder and Chimesmith loved it so she never said anything) as his way of speaking in love was gift giving. Navi gave him a smaller version of his cape and goggles as a celebration gift after Kodiak finished going through Wasteland for the first time (he dodged a krill doing it, astounding Navi in the process and making him proud).

Other Notes:

Originally being from the Windpaths, he has eartufts that grew as he got better with flight and has a pet bird named Hikaru- his first friend in the Windpaths (they met from Hikaru flying out of a pot and smacking him in the face knocking them both down) who lives in his nest of hair. He is horrible at sliding fast as he's more coordinated in the air than on the ground, not the best swimmer but not the worst either.

Kingdom: Not sure; most seem like they would interest him to a degree.

Scenario: Thankfully this is optional because *I have too many*.

Have some ref pics of him (and by some I mean two more):

Since no kingdom was added, I'm placing your skykid in a random kingdom. The kingdom I'll place your skykid in is: Oops! It seems the portal towards Lifeno malfunctioned! Your skykid has instead traveled towards: Faewild.

" 'Shoot' was the first thing Kodiak thought when he woke up. Maybe it was a bad idea trying to rapidly fly around home and accidentally fly into a portal.

And now he's....honestly Kodiak doesn't know where he is. This looks like Lifeno kingdom, but at the same time not? He did travel to each kingdom, but this one is certainly new. It's dark, but some strange bugs are glowing, lightning up the whole small forest. The mushrooms are huge and they could feel the light in the air.

This is not Lifeno kingdom. The forest does not have this much magic in the ground. Kodiak could feel the little gem in his chest beating.

Welp.

Guess it's best to start looking for his friends Most have probably by now entered the portal to look for him, so hopefully he might find them soon."

• Thanks to Kodiak's observant eye, they noticed the abundance of magic in this forest. More than what he was use to, it made him wary of where he was. Hikari started glowing brighter though, and is happily chirping away on Kodiaks' head.

• Continuing to travel through the forest, Kodiak found a small...village? The houses are in the trees and the lamps are lit, but there is no one in the streets (maybe because he's on the outskirts? He doesn't know.) The whole place reminds Kodiak of the assembly treehouse and the windpaths and wave of nostalgia reaches him, remembering his friends whom he dearly miss in the realms.

• "Oh? An ori child? Kodiak almost jumped out of his cape when a voice suddenly spoke. He turns around to find a fae staring down at him. They were carrying an umbrella, but it looked almost as if the stars and planets were swimming around it. It reminded him of orbit in a way.

• Realising he wasn't answering the fae, Kodiak sputtered out a greeting, timidly looking down at his feet. The fae stared blankly at him, before giving a smile and laughing softly. They kneeled down to his height.

• "It's quite an honour to meet your kind. Say, what do you say on joining me? There's a feast happening at the center of the village." Their voice is somehow soft and calm, like parent. Despite Hikari's wary tweets, a feast and a party does sound fun.

• Agreeing to the fae's request, they took Kodiak's hand and lead him to the center of the village. As they draw near the center, Kodiak could hear the cheerful music and the sounds of laughther. The feasts bright lights illuminating the night sky. Delicious food lined up on a long table while the fae dance and sing.

• As the fae's warmly welcomes Kodiak, his timid personality fades away and he soons enjoys the feast, often singing melodious songs using his rare ori child voice and telling tall tales of his adventures in the sky kingdom for the laughing fae. The fae gave him food and complimented his ear tufts, the colours impressing even high ranked fae.

• But as time went on, Kodiak started to grow more weary. How long has he been here? An hour? Two hours?

• The knawing feeling of disturbance rocked his chest. As he goes up to the fae, his small stature easily allowing him to walk under the table unnoticed, he heard the fae talking to someone else. "Who knew I would find an ori child wandering around the outskirts of our village? What luck!"

"Just imagine how much the court will pay us for a song. The Queen will be delighted to hear that an ori child tookr residence here. Did you hear how he can sing? It sounded like an angel!"

"Indeed. Although we need to keep him here. I might be able to offer him a home here, but we might need to get rid of that bird he has. They were quite the nuisance since they didn't let me go near enough to place the seal.

•.......huh?

• Hikari became restless. The feast's music became eerie, the laughter stinging Kodiaks' ears. Fear rocked in his chest, his heart beating on the sound of the drums. He needs to get out of here. NOW.

• Kodiak immediately sat down and meditated, not hesitating to return back home. He could care less if the fae hated him. He could care less if he can't return to this place. He did not want to become some walking and talking puppet for the fae.

• As he returned, he found his friends at home. All looked at him wide eyed before immediately hugging him, all of them worried out of their minds.

• Kodiak closed his eyes, happy to be back home

Additional headcannons

• Turns out that the feast Kodiak attended was manipulating time. What felt like hours had passed in the faewild, months had gone by in the real world. So he was a little distorted when he escaped.

• He has a severe distrust of fae, once mistaking an elf for a fae and accidentally be passive agressive towards them. He later became friends with them (somehow??)

• Some creatures native to the fae wild followed Kodiak the entire time he was traveling. Some birds even made friends with Hikari.

• Although his experience with the kingdom was mostly sour, the Faewilds iz probably the closest thing that is similar to the wind paths for Kodiak, so whenever he ends up in them, he avoids the fae villages and just vibes in the forest away from the fae.

[a-deadly-serenade]

overall this season was pretty decent. i have some thots whats new so im gonna share them below the cut if anyone’s interested :)

so!! first off i’ll say that there were a lot of things i did really enjoy from season 4!

the action was super fun as always!! i loved all the crazy enemies and callbacks! the skeleton fight and all those little goblins they kept killing throughout were a nice touch ;) sypha’s use of her powers is INSANE her ice-chainsaw?? her WALL of fire?? electric balls?? come on. and the animation was NICE. i really wanna know who did most of the fight scenes bcuz the style is so different and it just POPS but in a really good way? 

my favorite fight has to be ofc when everyone is REUNITED yes im basic. but the THEME song going off and well, im a whore for sotn references and i CAME when i saw the leap stone ref w the winged cape or when alucard turned into a hoard of batss AND THEN HIS WOLF FORM OOOOHH BABY!!! actually episode 9 is just a straight banger.

STRIGAAA. STRIGA. oh mama i was sweating during that fight. mad kudos to her va for them growlsss

carmilla vs isaac was a lot of fun and i loved the visuals but my hype was instantly ruined when i saw her kill herself 😭but thats smth i’ll complain about later.

not all the lines were bangers, some of sypha’s swearing seemed even a bit too much at times, and it was especially jarring to be having a face-to-face death-math with literal Death and hes acting like a naughty little 5 year old thats just learnt to swear. maybe cut back on the fuck-isms? just a bit? BUT when they hit they did GOOD. “the fuck what now?” yes

ISAAC. you weren’t in this season as much but man do u still shine through. i loved his introduction back in the town where he has his night creatures digging graves and rebuilding the city 😭 and then the conversation he shares w his flyman?? obsessed.

Hector chopping his finger off and giving lenore and carmilla a good ol FUCK YOU!! as he helps isaac. we love to see it

Trevor and Sypha’s “I love you!” “I know.” <3

DEATHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

oh! alucard actually having a story & purpose in the plot? :) luv it love to see it. that being said... the Plot. 

its... ok? it’s kind of split up into 3/4 parts, as the story progresses, one eventually merges with several of the others kind of? cohesively? while leaving the other to sort itself out.

now, i didnt have too many qualms with it, it was pretty straight forward. dracula is going to be resurrected and we have sypha and trevor looking in on it, while alucard helps the nearby village and hector and isaac go on about bringing on their inevitable showdown. however, the way the story was paced and some of the decisions they made... werent so great.

st. germain for example, brought the ENTIRE momentum from the last few episodes to a halt. you have sypha and trevor fighting through heaps and heaps of monsters only to find themselves back in Targoviste where they meet the mysterious Zamfir!! and Alucard!! he’s been asked to help save this village!! all jam-packed with crazy action and animation that leaves you fired up!! and then episode 5 comes to a screeching halt and we spend nearly the entire thing on st. germain’s backstory and explaining his motives for the rest of the season

like. imma be real with you chief: he didnt need to be here lol. you could have just left varney as the main vamp in charge of bringing back big daddy drac and he could reveal to his.. idk henchmen or something that he’s death. but u gotta fill them ten 20 minute slots somehow!! he just fell so flat and unfortunately, a lot of the side-characters suffer from this this season.

i enjoyed great and zamfir, i love their desgins esp, but they really could have been fleshed out more. zamfir is shown as nothing but a spoiled brat the majority of the time she’s on screen but they wait till she’s about to die to try and turn her character around? huh? greta is given a bit more screentime but this sudden confession of feelings in the last episode felt so... huh?? why couldnt she just be dedicated to her people and show that u can love someone w/out necessarily being their partnr? i thot that was her whole thing; taking care of her people. it’s like. where did this come from. they cant have known each other more than a week at most dog 😭

it sucks they dedicated to much time to scenes that didnt really need to be there where we could have gotten this proper development, like maybe have a scene zamfir and sypha connect over struggles they’ve dealt with in the past and that has her open up about how traumatizing dracula’s attack on her city was. u could have expanded upon her role in the court and WHY she worshipped the monarchy so much instead of making it a throwaway gag about her being “crazy”. but why have that when we could instead spend the first 5 minutes of said episode watching a monotonous back-and-forth b/w varney and that big burly russian vampire who’s name im sure mor than 98% of the audience cant even remember? 

just a lot of fat that needed to be trimmed so that the actual MEAT of the story could be slow cooked to perfection. people really arent kidding when they say less is more. 

another big problem i had was there... i dont even know what to call it, re-humanization? redemption? of Lenore. like lmk if im wrong but she manipulated hector, yeah? coerced sex to slip on that ring that binds him to her?? orr whatever weird shit warren’s into. but the way they interacted, ESPECIALLY in their first major scene together was sooo uncomfortable to watch lol at first i thought perhaps hector was only playing along because well. hes enslaved to do her and carmilla’s bidding. but no, he actually LIKES her. he spares her when isaac comes around, he says that he wants to keep her as his own. and in the meantime, lenore finds time to complain to a man that’s been beaten and enslaved how upset it makes her that carmilla got angry at her 😭 or says thats she tired of isaac keeping tabs on her and wants to escape this ‘cage’. to  aman thats literally been imprisoned since youve known him 😭her death is seen as peaceful, calm, they even try and tug at ur heartstrings by swelling this sad, dramatic music as the sun rises. really? LENORE?

and carmilla’s death happened WAYY too early imo. she was the villain for practically 3 seasons and this is how she goes? isaac couldnt get more than a stab at her? his night creatures couldnt take a nibble? HECTOR couldnt even be given a chance to do somethng like come on

the resolution was... strange? it was cute!! and happy!! but i dunno if they really needed to have lisa and vlad coming back, but, like i said; it was cute! definitely not the ending i was expecting. 

i’m glad that they put their focus back on what made the show so much fun and that was the FIGHTS. they definitely helped add some much needed spice to things when scenes started to drag, but im a gal that really luvs a good story and even though reviews were raving that this season helped closed the lid on all the themes theyd been exploring, i just didnt really see that. which isnt necessarily a BAD thing, i knew i wasnt gonna find some deep introspective themes in this hack n slash horror-fantasy, its just what can turn somethng like this from an ok show to a GREAT one. 

in the end, im glad they stopped at this one and im curious to see if they really DO go ahead on making spin-offs. bcuz unfortunately, i will always be down for som new castlevania content

[shadowfluff]

I have decided to make some semi serious ref for all my little babies! First in line...

Name: Frelon “Title”: The Protector Pronouns: They/Them

Personality: From the moment Frelon got out of their egg, their only goal has always been to protect the other Vessels. Unfortunately, they were born late, and most of their Siblings had died already, which made them even more dedicaced to protect the few that remain.

Frelon void-speaks very little and emotes even less but is always very aware of their siblings’ needs. The others have learned to tolerate their constant mother-henning with good humor, especially since Frelon does get them out of tight situations everytime they need their sibling to: their only problem with the constant saving is that Frelon often places the others’ health above their own, and regularly gains wounds that would have been easily avoided if Frelon did not take every opportunity to jump between a sibling and the potential danger. This is made even worse by the fact Frelon simply does not take care of themself if not prompted: they would litteraly never sleep or eat if left to their own devices, and the others take turn making sure they just rest sometimes, and do not run themself ragged.

Unlike many other Vessels, Frelon is not particularly fond of physical contact: they can accept a hug or a forehead bump from a sibling, but prefers sleeping alone. They only hold hands with Libellule, but it’s mostly so that their smaller sibling doesn’t go wandering as they are prone to.

As a child they were armed with a simple nail they found somewhere in Greenpath and trained with Solaire, mostly. They spied a lot on that bug that lives near the bottom of the Kingdom’s Edge and who seems to knows his way around a Nail but waited until their adult form to actually go and get some actual teaching from him: it costs them geo, of course, but they didn’t really care. Once they grew, it was that bug who found Frelon their new sword, and in honor of that gift, they keep a red cloth tied around the handle: but once the training finished they never went back to him, as bugs, any bugs, are a threat to Vessels.

Because yes, Frelon is EXTREMELY wary of bugs and simply does not tolerate them close to their family. There in one bug in particular they simply HATE and that is the one the family began to call “the Red Death”. Frelon witnessed them killing Vessels before and swore within themself to never allow the Death anywhere close to the few siblings that remain. One day they will avenge the others: but as a child, they knew they were not strong enough and as an adult, others stopped them before they could. Unfortunately, this hate of the Red Death is somewhat extended to all bug kind, especially the sentient ones. Because since when anyone is close to nice with Vessels? Thankfully, Frelon is not usually that agressive.  If met on their own, they will simpy avoid confrontation and leave the premise without even drawing their nail: the problem comes if they are with a sibling, as they most often are. Look at the other Vessel the wrong way (and in Frelon’s mind there is no right way for a bug to look at a Vessel) and then they start charging. When they were little, it wasn’t too much of a problem as there were very few bugs in Hallownest, especially peaceful ones and they knew not to bite more than they could chew, in case thing went awry and the sibling was left defenseless. But when they got to adult stage, the troubles started as they finally found their ability, which is...

THE BERZERKER

Frelon loves that ability, the others not so much. Once activated, Frelon gets stronger and faster, stops feeling pain altogether and starts regenerating non stop at the expense of SOUL, of course. It lasts for ten minutes and Frelon better makes those count as they will be completely exhausted as the end and their SOUL, no matter how much they had left, will instantly disappear. Most of the time they are in full control of their Berzerker Rage and stops whenever the threat had been dealt with. The problem comes when they get pissed, and it’s awfully easy to piss Frelon off.

Threaten one of their siblings, and off to the deep end Frelon goes. In that state, they loose any kind of coherency and everything in a 100m radius instantly get a murder-on-sight tag. And yes, everything includes other Vessels as well, which explain why the rest of the family is not exactly a fan of Frelon going berzerk, not to mention that any peaceful bug caught in the crossfire will be in serious danger. The only way to calm them down, other than hide and wait for the ten minutes mark, is Solaire’s own ability.

Other little things I couldn’t fit anywhere else:

Frelon loves puns, it’s the only way to make them laugh. Their favorite color is green! Unlike other Vessels, they do not grow a cloak naturally and their cape is the only clothing they wear. They also love scarves and would wear more if it wouldn’t reduce their ability for combat. The spots near their eyes is decorative, they don’t function as eyes

[scritchim]

HEY!! im in mood infodump doodle mood rn so uh heres visual refs

So let me explain!! :p

Top ref, mutant;

Top ref is zibs freaky zim mutation experiement!!! the mutant is very very huge and stuff and is zibs guard dog being the most “easily commanded” zim in the whole dibvoid universe thing! to reassure of this, theres that blue mind control pak that connects directly to the brain and interferes with the one on the mutant’s butt. the pak on the butt has similarly same functions as a normal pak, but the mutant mainly uses the arms within to get around much faster and easier since the mutant weighs quite a bit. the mutant can also vocally communicate despite not being very smart and stuff. hes also always hungry, typically zib feeds him a..... special kinda meal

Middle ref, dagger!zim (DZ for short!!);

DZ is one of the many, many zimz kindapped by zib. but being a zim who comes from the irken race (at least in his universe) of loyalty through battle, after being defeated by zib in a one on one battle, he became one of the zimz to work under zib. currently tho he is owned by PD (police!dib aka pilot!dib) since hes one of the most agile and best fighters among most of the zimz currently in the dibvoid. (no zim is really allowed to roam in the dibvoid unless owned by a dib) His attitude toward PD is very respectable towards him. PD and DZ had a little one on one and PD rightfully defeated DZ fair and square. DZ works with PD to capture (mainly kill) any dibs or zims out of line when ordered by zib or any other dib if a zim or dib is a problem. DZ’s irken biology is dratically different from most zims to where his pak is on his neck and a smaller size, hes built more agile, his antennae can come off to unsheath blades. the downside to this is that he has a high chance of bleeding. bleeding doesnt damage him, tho it causes pain and blood is annoying when it runs down your face during a battle/fight. he wears heels to feel taller and superior to zims in the dibvoid and has a cape to wear, but with time being in the dibvoid it got damaged and fixed by PD

Bottom ref, pilot!dib/police!dib (PD for short!);

the scariest hunter youll ever meet in the dibvoid. he garnered attention from other dib and zims for being openly agressive, violent and creepy to the others (especially with his teeth and unusual twitchiness) he obsesses over any interestin zim or dibs in the dibvoid, he will occcassionally stalk them and may decide to fight them if they seem like a good fighting oponent. otherwise he would just shake out any information he can from them to hunt down any rebel groups (he use to be apart of one till he was put into his place) he spends time in the bar (even tho hes just 19 the idiot) and will get word through there. He is a really good fighter with his hand-like gun and uses it to help get around and hunt down zim andddibs. his kill count is certainly higher than his “bar fights won’ count. his end of his trench coat is damaged from accidentally shooting lasers than propelling air at take off sometimes. he shoots around at high speeds using his hand gun almost like a propeller by hopping on it (as seen in the the ref) he’ll use it to call zib only in really dire situations since he believe s he can handle any situation on his own, picking up a big ego from DZ. towards DZ, he sees him more of a partner than a zim he owns (tho it being not allowed to befriend zims at all, he treats DZ badly in public when he would def risk his own life for DZ in any situation). he feels this way mainly cuz DZ is a much more different zim (even tho DZ is still a loud, self-centered zim) since DZ openly shows admiration and respect, especially when PD defeats an oponent in a fight. other relations PD has is with concept!dib/science!dib (called SD for short) SD and PD use to be very close at one point in the past. PD and zib only treat each other as rivals trying to one up each other, even if PD’s fallen flat every time (it hurts even more since zib is much younger than he is) PD is snarky with the irken hybrid and would love to dissect him and stalks the half irken whenever he can before being spotted by one of Zib’s many lackeys. tho despite that all, zib let’s him run around and do what he needs or wants. zib is creeped out by PD and has some type of fear of him.

so that’s about it!! some summaries ti help for a better undeestanding! these r sketched concepts for le comic and may be edited/changed over time, especially mutant zim for a cooler design. qvq ill do a zib concept soon, i try not to deviate fromm their original looks too much so they’re definable but i edit sone things to make them cooler or what may fit the plot nicely! giving PD some neat upgrades really makes him cooler. tho with the mutant zim and DZ are original 100% (at least i hope, accidentally copying soneone is my biggest fear) but yeh! these characters are mostly ones with close relations to zib and the only ones ive has visual thoughts for. (I’ll def make more zim and dibs 100%. I yet to make refs for the main cast!!) im sorry for the length of it all but i promise i’ll make simpler layouts one day! rn this is just dump and brainstorming qoq

Hewwo. You mentioned liking certain albums and songs for the jse egos and ships, what about for the Sander's sides? 👀 Are there any songs you like for certain ships you like? ❣️

HFJDHGJG YEPPP! Not quite as many, just bc I’m new to the fandom but I definitely have thoughts! 

Before y’all who are annoyed with me ranting about Taylor jump ship:

-”Pioneer” by The Band Perry is SUCH a good Roman song omg just the softest song about the creative spirit & bravery

-”Lovefool” by the Cardigans is... Deceit’s karaoke song. I have no rationale or defense for this statement whatsoever it just came up on shuffle the other day and I for some reason could picture him singing it perfectly and now I can’t let it go. Roman’s karaoke song is probably like “Any Man of Mine” by Shania Twain. Idk what the other sides’ go-to karaoke songs are but PLEASE lmk what y’all think bc I wanna know 

Anyway Taylor time. People w/ bad taste in music you’re free to go now. Have a nice night and please don’t unfollow me

Roman is both the side I think would most be a fan on Taylor and also who has the most Taylor songs that remind me of him.

“White Horse” is definitely a Roman song. Like just change the gender (from ‘princess’ to ‘prince’) and it fits perfectly - a “dreamer” who has the beautiful, romantic fantasies they believe in challenged and emerges stronger but still believing in all those wonderful things... catch me crying

“Starlight” is the other song that has strong Roman vibes to me again bc of the ‘dream impossible dreams’ thing & another ref to a prince (and a ‘duchess’ ((duke)) but it def feels more roman than remus to me). Could definitely be a prinxiety song given the second verse: He said, “look at you, worrying too much about things you can’t change. You’ll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way.” He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me, “don’t you see the starlight? Don’t you dream impossible things?”

Honestly the whole Red album has Roman vibes to me which makes sense assuming his color is red for the same reason she chose that title: bc it symbolizes passion. It really specifically reminds me of him in the ‘Moving On’ videos - him having a hard time letting go of a relationship but ultimately realizing it must be done strongly reminded me of “Red” (the song), “I Almost Do,” and “All Too Well”

LOVES “Wonderland” bc it’s gay uhhh Disney references no but he’d be all over that ‘too in love to think straight’ pun.... and the sheer DRAMA of writing your ex’s fucking TUMBLR URL into a song

“Love Story” and “Today Was a Fairytale” need I say more

Virgil is definitely AT LEAST a Speak Now stan - some of you are too young to remember it and some of you are still too salty to acknowledge it but from like 2008-2011 especially there was the Emo Swiftie phenomenon where a bunch of us very edgy emo kids who liked Panic! & MCR were also Taylor fans. Like she wasn’t considered emo at all but she had the same lyricism & theatricality, and the rampant slutshaming didn’t really start until 2012 so it wasn’t nearly as uncool to like her. So yeah Virgil’s been a secret passenger on the Taylor train for a while

He’s SUPER unwilling to admit it at first but as soon as Roman figures it out they bond & talk about their fav songs

emo boy is most definitely a “Haunted” stan

All I WANT is Virgil in the famous purple Speak Now tour dress and if I had a shred of artistic talent him in that dress under the glowing tree would be the first thing I drew

“Out of the Woods” is a Virgil song - Taylor literally said that the main feeling she was trying to capture is anxiety (x). I would also like to see Virgil in the OOTW music video. Give my baby some WOLVES.

“The Archer” is very literally about anxiety & imposter syndrome I don’t think I need to defend that being a Virgil song

“Afterglow” and “Delicate” belong on any ship playlist involving Virgil

Someone sing “Innocent” to this boy immediately

My favorite Virgil song actually isn’t “The Archer” even though that’s the most obvious - I think “Daylight” is the best one. He’s wounded the good & he’s trusted the wicked y’all!!! But it’s brighter now!!!! I love him!!!!!

With Deceit I see the obvious comparison to “Look What You Made Me Do” and it works pretty well but I think the best Deceit song is def “I Did Something Bad” - ‘for every lie I tell them they tell me three’ ‘this is how the world works; you gotta leave before you get left.’ Also my position just in general is that IDSB is the Distinguished Gay Villain Song & LWYMMD is the Disaster Gay Villain Song.

That said, the only reason Deceit’s never done the traditional Rise Into Frame is to keep me specifically from making a joke about Karyn rising out of the stage during LWYMMD (x) - it’s true my cousin’s best friend’s uncle was an extra in the Sanders Sides he played Roman’s sword

Deceit’s real name is Karyn I cracked it y’all

Also it makes me really excited that the LWYMMD tour outfit is kinda similar to Deceit’s. Something about having the initials TS just makes you go ‘snake time’ and put on a black cape/shirt/jacket thing with yellow/gold accents I guess

“End Game” is a Remus/Deceit song - ‘you like the bad ones, too’ = they’re both dark sides, “you’ve been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks so here’s the truth from my red lips” = Deceit

“New Romantics” is just like ‘let’s lie our way through society’ so

Remus really reminds me of the swift fandom itself and idk what else to say about that bc if you’ve never been in that fandom I don’t know how to explain it to you and if you’ve been in that fandom for even 5 minutes you don’t need me to explain it to you

ME! is such a Remus song!! ‘I know that I’m a handful, baby, UH! I know I never think before I jump’ & ‘I would never bore you baby;’ also ‘like a rainbow with all of the colors’ reminds me of Remus saying ‘if you want the spectrum A-Z then you’ll need a little help from ME!” AND the song tends to get stuck in your head (or it does for me anyway) - kind of Remus’s M.O.

We already know he likes “Shake It Off” lol

Those of y’all who are horny for Remus and I know you’re out there.... “False God” is the song for you

could also be Remus/Deceit - Remus does use Deceit as the serpent in the Garden of Eden after all

Patton is just all the soft love songs lbr. “Stay Stay Stay,” “Paper Rings,” “Our Song,”etc. Also “Never Grow Up” and “Fifteen” and bc he’s nostalgic but also a father w/ good advice.

OK before I do Logan songs I just gotta tell you I was listening to “Tim McGraw” recently and my mind went “he said the way my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night; I said ‘FALSEHOOD’” but anyway

“New Year’s Day” - the references to books/pages fits and also the sort of comforting vibe that Logan can have; it’s a more realistic view of love about how there’s no way to know for sure what’s going to happen but knowing that you’re in it even for the worst

“I Think He Knows” belongs on the playlist for any ship involving Logan

He’d love “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” but when she’s like ‘where are the wise men?’ he’d be like ‘I’m right here beech’

And with that, I think I need to be done for now lol. Thank you so much for asking & letting me dump all this here. I love you!!!!

[becblanc]

(the boy is back in town. the boy doesnt want to be back in town. wait boy where are you going.)

finally made a ref for my pokemon insurgence protagonist after being inspired by the one @frightguard made [x]. i love this character a lot and have written quite a bit on them. some extra info under the cut

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHARACTER PROFILE

Dont want to read the whole thing? this pretty much sums up josiah

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACTUAL CHARACTER PROFILE

latched onto damian super quick since he was the first person they encountered that wasnt trying to kill them. cherishes vijol with their life; truly their best friend and an irreplaceable partner. tolerates nora but really doesnt like being around her after she bullied damian in utira. 

what is self-care. or shoes. or sleep? huh. “local hero doesnt practice personal hygiene, more at 11″. 

as soon as they get to suntouched and see the tacky gaudy cape on the clothes rack they buy it immediately. “look im alone, dont know jack shit about myself, a good # of people want to kill me, fuck it im buying the edgy cape. if i die, i die in style.”

very much a “reluctant hero type”. starts off extremely skittish and not wanting to get into any sort of conflict, but gradually gains confidence as their team evolves. gets a hoot out of fucking around with the abyssal cultists as audrey. by the time of the infernal infiltration operation theyre almost too cocky in their abilities. blasts gasolina on a boombox as they storm in. when the thing with the darkrai cult happens again, avoids the fuck out of going back to the shade forest. still carrying a bit of trauma from that whole incident. bad memories. all the bravado from before is instantly gone.

after having to return to the surface world from the dream realm, never stops looking for a way back. that becomes their whole drive. They’ll Get Him Out. They Will. 

Really Really Really doesn’t want to be the next augur. I Guess I Dont Have A Choice Though, Huh. doesnt want to be famous. wants to disappear into obscurity so they can live a normal life. arceus wont have it. 

The timeless: “you’re a fantastic trainer- you’ve beaten all of us. How would you like to be the next augur?”

Josiah: 

refuses the crystal shards. boxed them immediately. Thats A Liability. 

wants to care more about exploring Holon but doesn’t. I Just Really Want To Get Back To The Dreamworld, out of my way. Everybody just stay the FUCK out of my way. Gets incredible annoyed when people keep trying to fight them 

as soon as they get the magic carpet, yeets right the fuck out of holon to get back to the dreamworld. is heartbroken when the first thing adam does is ask that they help take care of the deoxys problem and malon. Cries when adam talks about “father and daughter side by side…. Just as it should be”. cries again when damian comes to. 

eventually moves into adam’s old HQ, lives there now. reopens the gaea town gym so challengers can resume taking on the championship. the badge resembles their dragon-based team while paying homage to their father’s badge. since the cults are all finally quelled, augur calls dont come in as frequently. eventually things calm down and josiah can finally get some fucking rest. never really got back the bravado they had from before darkrai cult: pt 2

-------------------------------------------------------

TEAM INFO

Lead: Kirby (mew) 

sets up barrier + amnesia, then baton passes it off to the teammate most suited for countering the opponents team

Physical specialist: Sweet boi (delta dragonite)

also the secondary lead. sets up livewire, then punches away with drain punch, thunderpunch, or aqua tail. extremely tanky and self-reliant when receiving kirby’s boosts (which is often)

Special specialist: Respite (delta charizard)

one of the many mega options available, typically takes up sweeper role 

Mixed attacker: Saburra (flygon)

can change depending on the need for good ground type coverage with STAB, or extremely strong substitute breaker as mega flygon. good flexibility and type coverage

Wallbreaker: Wingdings (delta noivern)

leech seed + nasty plot/giga drain combo + big root + kirbys defense buffs is something to behold. frail but can heal a ton of HP if done right. can go toe-to-toe with legendaries thanks to immense healing capabilities

Jack-of-All-Trades: Vijol (eevee)

moonblast and icebeam provide type coverage as mega eevee, thunderbolt provides speed to outpace faster opponents and land a finishing blow if necessary. single-handedly carrier the team through the champion match: redux as mega sylveon

keeps 3 mega options on the team for flexibility, depending on type coverage needs. the opponent will never know which mega to expect. the typical recipients of kirby buffs are sweet boi and wingdings due to sweet boi’s tankyness and wingdings’ sp. attack augmenting capabilities combined with healing. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

SOUNDTRACK INFO

i like to have certain songs that i associate with parts of the game, making small montages in my head to them. here are some excerpts. click on the location names to hear a song i associate with that arc of the story. 

i dont have many songs for early game since i was listening to the insurgence ost for so much of it, however:

Telnor Town, meeting Damian

Travelling the region at night (typically this was the only time i was free)

Abyssal base infiltration

Doing any kind of heroic shit

Infernal Base infiltration

Traversing the Dream Realm

The growing suspicion that adam is josiah’s father (i had guessed it correctly before the reveal in the 8th gym)

no alt music for the nyx battle because the insurg ost for that fight is already bangin

Finally reaching Gaea Town..........

Exploring No Man’s Land late at night 

This is a favorite. 

Squaring up to fight Reukra before he can summon arceus 

when i played pokemon uranium, i associated The Felt [x] album with the scenes of infiltrating the abandoned nuclear plants, especially jade dragon, swing of the clock, rhapsody in green, and variations. (my luxelong- a fakemon which is based on imperial dragons and has a jade tail, is literally a Jade Dragon, was name Rhapsody in line with this album). i really liked having an “associated album” with the game so i decided to do it for insurgence as well

the album that takes that title for insurgence is the Spiderverse OST [x], many of the songs i can see in a lot of different venues in the insuregnce plot thats about it. i actually even have more written about this character on a word document. why cant i have this much passion about my actual OC’s. 

josiah is also my go-to boredom character to draw while watching lectures for class

The Ringed City trip report!

I'm no writer so I'll just bullet point some misc thoughts pretty much:

- I would've preferred if the long drop-downs was handled in another way. I always play offline since I like finding secrets myself and seeing 3 orange messages in front of a seemingly normal wall kinda gives away that it's an illusion. Since dev messages however show up no matter your online status they where quite the blaring neon signs!

- Obviously my ears perked up when Lorian got name dropped right away but then there's not a single ref to him or the Lothric royal family in rest of DLC? Why would you mention it in the first place then...I guess to refresh people's memories that he fought the Demon Prince way back when but even so it doesn't really bring anything new to the table.

I was mainly hoping for some info on the Queen of Lothric to finally get rid of the theory that she's Gwynevere but I suppose this will never go away...At least the Projected Heal miracle further hints that they’re separate people but you can easily read it both ways.

- Cute that the stone-humped hag ashes implies she was Lorian's (and/or lothric's) wetnurse tho, figures a good lad was handled by a (seemingly) good woman :3

- Not-Patches. I love Patches and his final sendoff was very cute with him gently just pushing you in the direction you needed to go anyway, but I can't help but feel like a salty smash player whining about wasted slots since he got in instead of a wholly new NPC. Also since I'm a swede I regged right away that his name was literally "patch" which kinda gave it a too cheeky On-The-Nose vibe.

- I suffered more than I should've at the hands of the swamp angel, the "parasite" form of the angels you need to kill to get rid of the flying ones looked so pitiful I wasn't sure if killing them would be a sin so I left it alone for a bit.

- Really nice that we got a lot of hot babe armor, Desert Sorceress for maximum sexy, Zullie's for Sexy But Modest, and Shira's outfit just looking lovely overall. Halflight's is also boob country if you wear it as female but it looks like cheap pirate cosplay to me. All outfits appreciated, but it would've been nice to have these options available much earlier. I mean to rush it you have to beat Friede at low level? I shudder at the thought. (Lothric's hoods mends quite nicely with Zullie's dress btw)

- While on the topic on armor I can't believe that even in the end we never got a defiled moonlight set.

- Demon Prince boss, the first half is quite manageable and the second quite hard, I'm not a fan of bosses where you have a long boring part wasting time to get to the real deal. The setup here with two seemingly sickly demons makes me wonder if they're trying to mirror twin princes but if that was the case they didn't seem to commit 100%

- I'm not sure how I feel about the Locust's talking about misc NPCs in the games, it's neat but why would they even bother mentioning someone as unimportant to the world as Irina for example? Ages has gone past.

- I LOVE the cleric turtle enemies!!! Such fun design, made me think about the dogs/spiders in Siren even though they're not quite as warped.

- The long stairway next to Shira with HOW-many-armor-fatties is plain BS. I assume the game expects you to kill them by plunging attacks since there is many ledge opportunities to do so in the area, but in the end it feels like the intention here is designed around blitzing it which is NG.

- "Show Your Humanity". I'm really salty since I actually DID realize what the game wanted here since I had tried a brance earlier trying to sneak past the bramble fatties but I didn't connect that it was standing in the actual swamp that triggered the humanity form. Used a few brances in front of the wall and didn't bother trying harder when it wouldn't cycle to the right one. It's such an unorthodox trigger for something as "important" as continuing a NPC quest, I just figured it would net me some treasure I wouldn't have use of anyway.

(Keeping Solaire alive in DS1 is also unorthodox but the way Patches waves you off makes it seem like the devs expected and wanted you to get his quest correct right away?)

But also randomly getting a ladder to drop down as a humanity sprite is just silly and too video game-y.

- Pretty odd to put a chloranthy ring as the loot on Gwyn's fancy Provide Thee Succ statue instead of something related to the story.

- Midir. I thought I had to kill this thing to progress since I was a huge tool not realizing I could just give the finger to Judicator Argo and open the door even though he told me to fuck off (please no bully I somehow didn't see any Open prompts, I guess I tried opening while he was still talking and that blocked me the first time I attempted it...???) So I butted my head against this flailing HP sponge longer than I should, the camera is a problem even when not locking on and you have to do so much running back and forth in the arena...But since he's 100% optional I don’t mind since it's nice they added something for non-scrubs unlike me to have fun with.

- Halflight, joke boss but then I most likely didn’t have an actual player spawn in. I'm not into PvP so this feature doesn't do anything for me, but fun gimmick to have an Old Monk style battle. Unfortunate that it's far into a DLC? I wonder how long it'll be active.

- Filianore is listed as Gwyn's youngest daughter (and also his favorite? Sorry 'vere.) so I guess this confirms that Yorshka isn't Gwyn's by blood (not that there was any doubt) since there's no way that waif tot can be older than Filly. Wish we got some more info on the mother/s here, it feels to me Filianore might've never even been in Anor Londo and was birthed by another mother than whoever produced the Gwyn-line series of kids.

Her room is so tiny it takes away the full awe of her sight, I wonder if this was a wise choice. In the artbook it looked much more airy and impressive.

- Gael, phase 2 is much more fun and almost easier than first (""easier"" that is, I still died over and over until I gave up and brought a friend ofc), he's just so aggressive in the start! His fancy bloodborne cape did however create the bloodborne problem of having too much parts moving around the boss making it hard to see where he was currently facing or doing.

- The fact that both he and painter constantly talked about The Dark Soul™ ruined any impact the story could've had, it's just plain silly hearing a game title repeated over and over.

In my heart I knew that none of the loose ???-lore tidbits in the main game would be brought up in the DLC but it still hurts that indeed none of them got touched upon. Yorshka's origins forever R.I.P. Overall though it was much more fun and interesting to play than AoA, so that was a treat!

Now how long will we have to wait for proper teasers about Fromsofts new projects I wonder. I'm excited to be able to play something completely fresh without constant callbacks, fanservice and conflicting lore due to there being multiple games in same series. Is just hope they don’t go too sci-fi.

Being a woman is overwhelming

Sometimes life is overwhelming, especially if you are a woman in today's world.

Even though we live in a world full of technology and yes, so many things are so much easier than they were years ago, it has also made things harder in some ways.

Women have to be Supermoms, Super wifes, Super workforce women. We have to have it all. We must have big important jobs, perfect lives, our kids must be in every sport and activities imaginable, otherwise we aren't good parents. We have to keep up with the Jones and we have to look like Barbie at all times, while doing it all.

I know how hard it is being a single mom of two girls, I own my own home and all the repairs and maintenance that goes along with it. I work 3 jobs, I own a professional organizing and personal assistant business and I run a salon part time and I do hair at night. Whenever possible I do focus groups to make extra money on the side, I am always hustling trying to make money here or there.

I also write this blog on 8 different sites, and 4 social media sites, 5 days a week. I promote it on every social media outlet, every day. I do a weekly youtube video which I have to make, edit and put out there as well.

I work out 5 mornings a week at 5:30 am, I go to church 2 days a week (During covid I was still home watching it) and volunteer whenever needed. A few years ago when I bought this home and had to gut and remodel the whole thing. I wrote 2 books that took 2 years of my life and had to build a new website for it, and then set up my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. When I finished my books I had to learn how to self publish, with all the joy that comes along with that. I'm telling you, trying to figure out all of this, all by myself was definitely overwhelming.

Dam, I am tired just writing all of this so you can imagine how I feel in real life! Yes, there are some days I have no idea how I do it all as I know some of you out there, feel this way as well. We beat ourselves up when we don't get it all done, if our houses aren't spotless, if we snap at little things because we are at our wits end most of the time. Society puts so much pressure on us and we put even more pressure on ourselves if everything isn't perfect, especially with all the "Perfect" people we see and follow on social media.

So today my friends, I am here to tell you it's okay not to be perfect, it's okay to let go. I've learned to let it go, okay, so the house wasn't clean and I had a list as long as my arm of errands but I'd rather choose to spend time with people I love on the weekends. Life is too short, the world is not going to end if our list is not done. If we learned anything from the last year and a half it's that life is precious and we are not given tomorrow. So, go enjoy the moment, live in it, live big, live well. Laugh often, be present, enjoy and feel grateful for every second you have...it is not a guarantee that you will get another.

So take off your super person cape, throw it out the window, turn up the music, sing at the top of your lungs and smile big...believe me the dishes are not having as much fun as you are! Enjoy today you can always get back to being superwoman tomorrow.

Sometimes life is overwhelming 

Even though we live in a world full of technology today and so many things are so much easier than it was years ago, it has also made things harder in some ways. Women have to be supermoms, super wives, super workforce women. We have to have it all, big important jobs, perfect lives, kids in every sport and activities imaginable. We also have to keep up with the Jones and we all have to look like Barbies at all times, while doing it all.

I know how hard it is being a single mom of two girls. I own my own home and all the repairs and maintenance that goes along with it. I own my own business that includes doing professional organizing, and personal assistant work.I do hair at night and I do as many focus groups as possible to make extra money. I also do this blog on 5 different sites, and 3 social media platforms, 5 days a week. I do a weekly YouTube video which I have to make, edit and put out. I am at the gym, 5 mornings a week at 5:30 am.

I was going to church 2 days a week and I volunteered whenever needed before this pandemic hit. (I still go to church, only online now)

I had also to do, all by myself, the gutting and remodeling of my home I bought. I wrote 2 books which took a year of my life. I then had to learn how to build a new website for it, and learn how to set up Facebook pages, Instagram, Twitter and self-publishing. All the joys and aggravation that comes along with all of that because I couldn't afford to pay anymore. 

Dam I am tired just writing all of this! Yes, there are some days I have no idea how I do it all as I know many of you out there feel this as well. 

We need to do it all, we have to do it all as we have no one to help us. We beat ourselves when we don't get it all done, if our houses aren't spotless, if we snap at little things because we are at our wits end most of the time.

It's tough, especially if you're doing it all on your own. It's hard not to have someone to bounce things off, a shoulder to cry on. Someone to tell you it will all be okay. So instead of beating yourself up, give yourself some slack, be kind to yourself.

You're doing the best you can, you can't do it all.

So today my friends, my advice to you is to let go... 

I've learned to let it go, it was way too stressful to keep beating myself up, trying to be perfect. I learned that it's okay if the house wasn't clean, it's okay that I had a list as long as my arm of errands but you chose to go spend time with people you love instead. Listen to me, life is too short, the world is not going to end if our list is not done, if the laundry piles up, if the dishes sit in the sink, none of that matters in the end.

No, enjoy the moment, live in it, live big, live well. Laugh often, be present, enjoy and feel grateful for every second you have, because it is not a guarantee that you will get another. 

So take off your super-person cape, throw it out the window, turn up the music, sing at the top of your lungs, make plans with friends, take your kids out for ice cream for dinner and just learn to smile big, live life large because believe me the dishes are not having as much fun as you are!

Being a women is sometimes overwhelming

Sometimes life is overwhelming, especially if you are a women in today's world.

Even though we live in a world full of technology and yes, so many things are so much easier than they were years ago, it has also made things harder in some ways.

Women have to be supermoms, superwifes, super work force women, we have to have it all. We must have big important jobs, perfect lives, our kids must be in every sport and activities imaginable, otherwise we aren't good parents. We have to keep up with the Jones and we have to look like Barbie at all times, while doing it all.

I know how hard it is being a single mom of two girls, I own my own home and all the repairs and matience that goes along with it. I work 3 jobs,

(I own a professional organizing and personal assistant business and I run a salon part time and I do hair at night) When ever possible I do focus groups to make extra money on the side, I am always hustling trying to make money here or there.

I also write this blog on 6 different sites, 5 days a week. I promote it on every social media outlet, every day. I do a weekly you tube video which I have to make, edit and put out there as well.

I am at the gym 5 mornings a week at 5:30 am, I go to church 2 days a week and volunteer whenever needed. A few years ago ai bought a home and had to gut and remodel the whole thing. I wrote 2 books that took 2 years of my life and had to build a new website for it, set up my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter pages and figure out how to self publish, with all the joys that come along with it. Trying to figure out all of this, all by myself.

Dam, I am tired just writing all of this! Yes, there are some days I have no idea how I do it all as I know some of you out there, feel this as well.

We beat ourselves when we don't get it all done, if our houses aren't spotless, if we snap at little things because we are at our wits end most of the time.

Society puts so much pressure on us and we put even more pressure on our self's if every thing isn't perfect.

So today my friends, I am here to tell you it's okay not to be perfect, it's okay to let go. I've  learned to let it go, okay, so the house wasn't clean and I had a list as long as my arm of errands but I chose to go spend time with people I love this weekend. Life is too short, the world is not going to end if our list is not done, no... go enjoy the moment, live in it, live big, live well. Laugh often, be present, enjoy and feel grateful for every second you have...it is not a guarantee that you will get another.

So take off your super person cape, throw it out the window, turn up the music, sing at the top of your lungs and smile big...believe me the dishes are not having as much fun as you are! Enjoy today you can always get back to being superwoman tomorrow.
