#I might try to get some sleep

[captain-daryn]

I have a picture of me during finals week my second year of college where I had stayed up for like 3 days straight working on a project because it had been my first semester working while in school. I learned very quickly that I do not have the stamina to work 30+ hours a week & have a full time schedule for school (I'm in marching band and concert band too so that is a huge time commitment).

I had mini power naps, but nothing more than 2-3 hours at one time over about a 4 day period. And the week after I did it again. I remember just listening to a semi-sad song and bursting into tears because I was so deliriously tired.

Omg and I just remembered about the time I stayed up for 3 days straight working on another final project like right after I started my job (my first week was the week before finals in the spring). It was the week Endgame came out so I was binging all the marvel movies up to endgame the week leading up to it + working on my project. I remember going to work. But then it was a fog and I was on auto pilot after about half way through my shift, and then I don't remember the last half of my shift or coming home. I think I crashed for like 10-12 hours after that.

And I was 19 at that time... I'm almost 25 now and staying up for longer than 18 hours throws me off so bad forever afterward, it's like jet lag.

It's obvious that not sleeping for over 24hrs is awful and really difficult, like it's common sense, HOWEVER I just went 27hrs without sleep and omfg the levels of insane that that is is truly unexplainable, is so fucking insane

I’ve done it. The thing is, once you hit around 20 hours you stop feeling tired and you just experience various intervals of terrible. You can mitigate this by eating, drinking coffee etc, or never sitting down. But yeah, it’s a mental game at a certain point. You have to acknowledge that you’re working far below normal capacity and plan from there to accommodate sluggish thinking, delayed reflexes, etc.

The fic I wrote about the JL/Batfam not sleeping because of a curse was inspired by a week of work where I slept maybe 18 total hours. My Apple Watch died every single night. I ate and drank so much and didn’t gain any weight because I was burning it all off trying to stay awake and semi-functional. At the very end I was finally dismissed and promptly burst into tears in front of all of my coworkers for no particular reason.

So yeah. Please sleep. And if you can’t sleep, be realistic about what you can do.

If you were to like redesign Magneto's classic outfit in a way that both suits the character and your own tastes, how would you redesign it?

People don’t talk about MC needing to wear a magical ring to not accidentally yk cause NATURAL DISASTERS with their powers??? Not only accidentally but without realising???

Diavolo or smthn is asking too much of MC or being a bit too annoying and their other hand slowly drifts towards the ring and they hold onto it while maintaining dead eye contact. Like continue to piss me off hoe I’ll blink and blow a hole in your castle idk

Obv they never do it (or do they?) but the threat is there and it’s a risk dia (or whoever but I’m using dia) can’t take

JOONG ARCHEN & DUNK NATACHAI Love Out Loud Fan Fest D2 (May 19th, 2024)

[th30sstuff]

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND OBEY ME SEASON 1 TIME PASSING

All lesson 1 happens in 1 night

Lesson 2

- Day 1: 2.2-2.8

- Day 2: 2.10-2.15

The time between lesson 2 and 3 is not specified but seems to be around a week

Lesson 3 & Lesson 4

- Day 1: 3.2-3.10

- Day 2: 3.12-4.15(also the beginning of the next day)

- Day 3: 4.15-5.4

It's not exactly specified how much time has passed during the "Day 3" tbh(the day after climbing the stairs and the night that Beel destroys our room) so you can add a couple of days in between :D

Also, how many time has passed when we visit Belphegor in the end of lesson 5.4 after getting set in Beel's room is not specified so you can consider it the night after(??)

Lesson 5

Everything that happens during 5.7 and 5.10 is not exactly specified but it seems to be around 3 or 4 days :)

Though the end of 5.10 connects directly with the beginning of 5.12

5.12-5.17 all happens in 24h, beginning at night and ending the night after.

Lesson 6

- Day 1: 5.20-6.10

- Day 2: 6.12-6.15

The time in between 6.17 and 6.19 is not specified but I think it's a day.

Lesson 7 & Lesson 8

Everything that happens in between lesson 7 and 8 happens in exactly three days, since it's the Demon castle sleepover(I forgot how it was called)

- Lesson 9 happens in the morning right after

Lesson 9

- Day 1: 9.2-9.12

- Day 2: 9.12-9.20 Diavolo mentions Lucifer has a big speech in two days

Lesson 10 & Lesson 11

- MC probably hasn't sleep for 2 days now btw

- (Neither did I doing this<3)

11.2 Lucifer mentions his big speech is tomorrow, probably still the night after the game thing.

No time is specified in between lesson 11 and 12, but it's definitely more than a day since the speech was given.

Lessons 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16(this is a nightmare)

- 12.2-16.19 all happens without a pause, though it probably happens in a night to the morning, there's no way it all happened in less than 6 hours I like to think the dinner happened around 19:30 and the whole "You're gonna time travel now" happened around 4 in the morning

But since we went back in time it ends at like, 2 AM???? IDK IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT IT'S AROUND 2 DAYS

No time is specified between lesson 16 and 17 BUT PLEASE GIVE IT A GOOD COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE BELPHIE GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND MC IS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS HIM

Lesson 17 & Lesson 18

I gave up on counting each chapter of a lesson, but everything in between lesson 17 and 18 is around a month and ends at October 31(Dia's Bday)

Lesson 19 & Lesson 20

I feel like since the entirety of these lessons are about saying goodbye, it's already December, so November was completely skipped???

Control is a central theme in Jones’ life. Before his arrest, he was often one of the faces of their movement, both the man able to whip up a crowd, and talk to the people on the street, and also meeting and negotiating with politicians. He has an exceptionally good read on people, and is often very good at predicting and influencing their actions. For this reason, he’s actually a stronger asset to the Game than he’s aware.

One of the appealing things about Nite was how easy he was to read. Yes, he’d invite a certain degree of boldness and spontaneity into Jones’ life, but always on a trajectory that was fairly straightforward to predict and easily managed or diverted. He is manipulative, but not for nefarious purposes. That’s simply how he is. If Nite was in a bad mood, he knows exactly the steps he needs to take to pull him away from that negativity and ease some of that burden. He knew exactly which words, which gestures can elicit the strongest reactions, and moreover, knew how to draw that spark out of him, the one that makes Jones feel alive simply to witness. And he likes knowing that he’s able to do that, to help, care for, to influence.

This is why it’s so concerning for him to use that soft power to cause harm. He knows exactly what can cut the deepest, what’s most painful, most anger-inducing, or how to force inaction. It’s something he could’ve used a dozen times over in his life if he wanted wealth or status or power. And he does want power, but not that way.

The fact that he could do any of those things, and if he’s being honest, with that same thrill from flexing that control regardless of context, scares him a bit. It would be so easy to simply slip into it, like a well-fitting glove. But he doesn’t want to. He wants to think that he’s a good person.

So when he feels uncertain, he turns that control onto himself, doubling down on the established rituals, and creating new ones. He does what he needs to to ensure that he has the ability to set the rules and ensure that he follows.

After the breakup he starts questioning his own morals for how he’d handled it. Rather than retreat into ritual and restriction, he swings sharply the other way, into that wave, letting it take him wherever it may. He indulges too much in wine and women (and men), consequences be damned. He picks up a stranger at a bar, just because he wants to in that second, and because he can. He ignores the consequences of his actions for as long as he can, until suddenly they’re front and centre to greet him and that base level of control he’d taken for granted is torn clean away.

Holy fuck, man. What a trip Fearne has been on, huh?

You tell her how grateful you are to have her in your life, you flatter her, you tell her you need her, that you have to do this together. You have her make a promise that has this woman, born of chaos and fey, agreeing through shaking hands and a trembling voice.

You make her deceive your friends; you make her follow where they cannot know; you make her help you into this contraption; you make her feed this thing into you despite the fact that you both have been warned extensively of the risks. You make her watch you crumble and splinter and shatter and fracture and burst and implode. You make her watch you die, over and over and over and over, for a minute in agonizing bullet time.

You make her do all these things, because when she tries to back out, when she tries to not be the one who let you do this—how could you do this—

you tell her, "YOU PROMISED."

Because if there's one thing you know, it's that the fey do not break a promise.

I wanna thank my irl friends who follow me here and also my beloved mutuals as well as followers who still send me kind messages and try to interact with me and my stuff even if I'm bad at doing it myself.

Honestly, things haven't been that great with me lately, so... it means a lot to me. Honestly. <3

[necrotic-nephilim]

your Kon post was sooooo good, like yes the core four are queer platonic, however Kon is hypersexual enough to have made out with (or more) everyone in young justice at least once, yes, including the non-corporal Greta don’t ask me how that worked

I love all of these posts!!! how many of these ask game things do you have in your inbox??

thank you so much!! and i ABSOLUTELY agree with you on hypersexual Kon (truly i just adore characters with grooming/rape trauma like Kon coping through the lense of hypersexuality) and even if YJ is queerplatonic, Kon has made his way through most of them. including Greta. he's creative he'd find a way. probably involving TTK. bc TTK in sex is a thought i have daily. endless potential for using it to basically turn someone's body into a living fleshlight he can manipulate from the inside out- specifically have a TimKonBart idea in my head about that where Kon coaches Bart through sex, since Bart is a speedster with a bonkers refractory period who struggles to feel satisfied, and Tim is caught between them getting used to get Bart off with Kon using TTK to manipulate Tim's body. fun times. fun ideas.

currently, i have one more ask game ask in my inbox (tho always feel free to send more!) that's BruJay focused. though i *do* also have a couple other asks that are just ideas i pan to use as prompts for full fics. just haven't gotten to those yet bc i'm currently busy with packing to move states so. i have *not* had the time to write i wish i had. i will not reveal too much but one involves JayTim fucking during the Titans Tower incident, another is JayTim with animal traits leading to porn, and then another is Tim/Kon/Jon with incest kink stuff. so! i have many things planned, i just need to settle into my new place, however long that takes.

I'm going to an emo halloween party tomorrow night, and I can't decide on the final outfit pieces. The obvious mandatory ones are my MCR shirt (3 to pick from), furry tail, hand-pentagram earrings, kandi bracelets, and (if I remember to swap out the ears from the pink kitty ones) kandi puppy ears to match my tail!! I just can't figure out if I want to wear pants or a skirt >_<

PANTS

The pants I have are "skinny" style/fit, and black with a white square grid pattern.

Pros:

Cold weather, warm clothes

Pockets

Cons:

The seams and waistband will ABSOLUTELY bother me 1hr into wearing it

SKIRT

The skirt I have is a "skater" style/fit, and is plain black.

Pros:

Warm emo swarms, breezy clothes

Seams and waistband won't bother me

Cons:

Major risk of flashing people. Huge. I don't own tiny shorts to wear under it.
