#I need a drink and a nap

[lonesome-greenery]

Erin. Erin no. I know you have trauma about this and have not had the best model for dealing with it, but you don’t. It’s not the best or ‘right’ way of doing things.

You know that feeling when you see a character dealing with a struggle that you’ve worked so hard to overcome and are still actively dealing with? That feeling when you feel so much for that character and wish they could see outside of their head and realize what they actually need? And then you realize that’s how people who’ve been trying to help you feel too? But still struggle to recognize that you are deserving of and need that very thing?

Yeah, that’s kind of what’s going on in my head for this chapter, not to mention seeing this page of Aurora.

ugh/pos

This kid is so lonely and is convinced that if someone is looking out for him it's not out of genuine care but rather pity or that they've been asked to do as much by an authority figure. This has left him sure that if he can't take care of himself then he's a burden to others. He's worked so hard to be independent and be the best at what he does out of a sense of inferiority that's developed into this warped sense of superiority that is built on insecurity after insecurity.

He's just so... so...

I want to give him the biggest hug and tell him everything's going to be okay, but I know that it wouldn't have worked for me when I was stuck in that headspace. I think he needs someone to validate his fears and ask questions that probe at it all to make him think about it and poke holes in this mass of fear and force it to deflate.

Kendal and Tess have already started with the process of asking questions, but unless Erin's fears are heard and acknowledged, he's going to keep spiraling and burn out.

He's been kinda sad lately :(((

But don't worry, Moon! I got a surprise for you today :3 ...

I had intentions to do things after errands, lovelies, but I took a nap. 😂

I imagine he doesn't get drunk often, mostly on holidays, but I think green would enjoy sweet wines (kalos influence) and fun cocktails. Red doesn't really drink but if he did he'd also sip on cocktails but quickly becomes tired and wants to sleep. He's very clingy and sleepy when drunk. Green gets very sociable and happy. I won't make him a sad drunk she deserves to have fun. The only problem is she wants to have fun while red wants to take a nap using him as a pillow.

I started sleeping 7+ hours a night instead of six/five hours and crazy how it actually makes you feel less like a zombie during the day. I do still drink coffee and I get sleepy around 10pm now but I actually feel like a human now lol

[the-golden-dragoness]

guys I’m so tired of having to care for my own wellbeing it’s too much I can’t keep doing this

[schneesisterss]

the way she looks at her…

[ryderdire]

It’s good but it’s missing something

Anyways

It’s mid but if you to wanna make mildly fucked and evil mocktails of caffeine and death bc your collage campus is out of your energy drinks here r some tips

1- one of the bottles should have a bigger lip then the other. makes it easier to pour. it also helps if you have somet bigger and empty to mix them in instead ( i did not)

2 throw away or put up one of the lids if your sleepy you might get your wires crossed and accidentally drop the wrong lid in the wrong bottle.

3. Do this over a sink. i didnt and i suffered.

4. shake.

5. carbonation helps with the flavour idk how it just does.

6. obvi dont shake once the carbonation is in.

7. this cost me 13$ just so u know.

i was late to class for this.

someone get the wizard sky a nap and a dozen of those calm emotion cigarettes.

Quick! Your OCs are being dragged to the dancefloor by a friend - how do they react? Does the amount of people around influence that reaction? Or the kind of music played maybe?

GHFNFJDJFHB!? What a fun question omfg

Chuu has a vice grip on the sofa she’s sitting on if there’s more than 5 people at a party lmao. She’s not gettin up. N o p e. (Can sometimes be lured out onto the dance floor with a Waltzing number, but will rarely stay for longer than 2 songs before she’s found a way to slither out of being an active party participant. She’d rather chill and eat snacks and watch OTHER people look silly on the dance floor.)

Tuesday is ecstatic to be invited to the dance floor- but he only really knows how to do the stuffy Ishgardian Ball Dance when he first gets invited out to a party lmfao. The amount of people present doesn’t really impact his willingness to come out to the dance floor, but once he learns more ways to dance or even how to just, ‘feel it’ and make it up as he goes he gets much more excited about dancing to upbeat or quicker songs. He is Very good at not stepping on Toes :) (almost as if somebody didn’t want to deal with smushed toes…. 🤔)

Tangy is so zazzed to dance. She is…. Not the best at ballroom dancing or like, whatever you wanna call a couples dance, so. Watch your toes! It doesn’t matter how many people are there but being the center of attention can be kinda daunting :’> she’d rather dance to more upbeat music than slow dances so she’ll probs bow out for drinks and a snack during those to take a breather sjfjdkfs … pls also imagine her doing classic ‘dad’ dance moves or something from the Peanuts x3 [cut cos it’s Long 🫢]

….. 🤔 Ishi will gladly dance with a friend (or friends!) at smaller gatherings- and even invite others out to the floor x3 but at bigger more official events? She’s probably grateful for the excuse to step away from whatever Politically Charged Chat she’s been roped into regarding allied tribes or intercity relations. (She isn’t trained in dance, but will readily learn and follow somebody else’s lead •v•)

Mochiie is someone who’s reluctant to take an invite to the dance floor no matter how many people are present if there’s already people dancing and there’s not much space. He’s uh… conscious of his tail. (Poor guy sent a lalafellin couple sprawling once when he got tangled up in his feet, so he tries to be Overly Cautious now)

😂 Colette will indulge a friend in a dance, and relies more on being able to lift/twirl/dip her dance partner for flair - it’s an All-Eyes-On-Them situation. If Eorzean weapons didn’t have a habit of cracking under the pressure she’d probably be a tank. She prefers music with dramatic flair, to match her flashy dancing style. She laughs a lot more when it’s a Smaller group, there’s less performance pressures 🤧 (I should REALLY pose her dancing with Setsuna at some point… I’ll have to bug my partner for some files x3)

🤔🤔🤔 Levraut was the hardest for me to figure out. He’s classically trained in Ishgardian Dance? But he hates it. He thinks the whole thing looks silly, and he’s not so into huge parties (since they’re usually hosted by The Rich And Influential And Expect A Certain Class Of People yk) … he’d be a hilarious ‘sexy lamp’ for someone to dance with though… I think it would take him some time to feel comfortable dancing in the center of everything but he wouldn’t mind kinda grooving in place around the edges.

Until he’s 5 cups in. And then you have to haul him off the dance floor before he makes more of a fool of himself than he currently is, and tries to start a fight with the Violinist, because it quote ‘sounds like you’re killing the cat what made the strings all over again’ (regardless of if that’s true or not; a drunken Lev craves Rowdy Brawling and will Incite It)

… 🤨 I think that’s everyone if only because I don’t have a solid idea what the Trio would be like in a Party situation

Sorry for being behind on asks and messages, lovelies! Busy day out with the kids yesterday and taking them to the pool today. I will respond when I can! Hope you lovelies are having a good weekend!

Also, does anyone want to send them to the pool?

Today's viewing experience in order.

Right. Just finished helping with an interrogation and now remembering that I have Morals™ so if anyone needs me I’m having an existential crisis in the corner.
