What do you think about a reader who likes to eat late at night? They will sometimes escape their bed and their partner's arms to cook themselves a secret late-night meal. Any pokemon character you like

I've decided to go with Diantha for this because idk I want to write something for Diantha I miss my movie star wife.

It all starts when you and Diantha take the next big step in your relationship by moving in with each other. Due to how busy she is, it's very unlikely that she'd ever stay over at your place for the night or vice versa, so she wasn't very privy to your late night snacking.

She wakes up in the middle of the night, still half-asleep, when she realizes that you are no longer in her arms. Naturally, her sleep addled mind assumes you just shifted away during the night, only to find the bed cold and empty when patting around. She doesn't have to sit there for long to figure out where you had gone, as the loud, metalic clatter of pots being shifted around in the cabinet echoes from your shared kitchen.

Enter that one scene from the Rugrats where one of the dad's is making mac and cheese or something in the dead of night and his wife comes in like why are you making mac and cheese in the dead of night? and he's like I've lost control of my life. You know the one, right? Right.

Now, knowing that your beloved girlfriend was peacefully asleep a few rooms over, you tried to get a pot out of the cabinent as quietly as possible in order to conjure up your late night snack, but such is a useless endevor. If the crash of pots and pans didn't make you cringe, turning around to see Diantha standing in the doorway did.

It's a little awkward. She's still shaking off the remnants of sleep, leaving her a bit lost for words. She just shakes her head, already accepting that this is likely another one of your weird quirks that she'll get used to. And since she's already up, she plops herself on a barstool (bc she's got money and a fancy little kitchen bar) and joins you for your mandatory late night snack.

Ok. Scenario over, you get the deal. At first, she's honestly a bit worried. Were you not eating enough? Was there something wrong with her cooking or the takeout you've been getting? Did you have some dietary restriction she just didn't know about? You reassure her that, no, everything's fine. That you are simply a conissuer on all things midnight snack.

With her worries settled, she doesn't mind your habits. Mostly. Waking up to a cold bed in the middle of the night is never pleasent, even when she gets used to it and knows that you're just in the kitchen. She wants to hold you all snug and tight in her arms after a hard day of work, damn it.

If she's not too tired, she'll slip into her slippers and wade into the kitchen, finding you russeling through drawers and cabinets. Whether you're just slapping together a sandwich or working towards the tastiest ramen, she'll join in and keep you company. Won't talk much, too tired to likely, just enjoying your company.

If the exhastion hits too hard, she'll simply wait for you to come back, dozing in and out of conciousness untill the mattress dips beside her. Honestly, she might be a bit pouty, somewhat upset that you left her so cold and alone, but immedately caves once you shimmy closer, enveloping you in the warmest and sweetest of snuggles. Diantha isn't the pouty kind imo, but she absolutely can be when she's tired and has been denied cuddling privledges.

In terms of physicality, Diantha isn't the strongest out there. She doesn't have a death grip that requires olympic level flexablitiy and stealth to escape or anything like that. But she is a light sleeper, and can easily be awoken by your attempts to leave. If she wakes up while you try to escape to the kitchen, she will try to pull you closer, not wanting her warm darling to leave her arms just yet. She does let go eventually, she knows youre just hungry.

When I made my headcanons about the champions cooking abilities, I spoke my truth about Diantha being a great chef, but being too busy to cook often, and I stand by that. She does like to cook for you when possible, it makes her heart flood with warmth when she sees your face light up upon tasting the meal she made just for you. And when she does make time to cook, she makes enough to have leftovers, storing them where she knows you'll find them when you inevetably wake in the night for a fresh meal.

In general, Diantha doesn't mind you eating late in the night, just being a little bothered when you aren't in bed because it gets cold without you. As long as you're still taking care of yourself, she'll be as supportive as possible of your weird eating habits.

there are always...

...going to be people who will find faults in whatever and whoever they see.

it's important you recognise such people and understand that it's their own insecurities that they are projecting.

don't let their words affect you. and do not become that person yourself. be kind to yourself and others ✨

idk who needs to hear this today but it finally sank in for me and i need to share it:

failing does not make you a failure.

amelia earhart failed her last goal in life but you would never call her a failure. she went down in history as a hero, and even if she isn’t your personal hero, you likely still wouldn’t claim that she was a failure of a human. i don’t know what you’re doing, whether it’s big or small, or perfectly average. but whatever it is, whether it’s doing laundry on your own for the first time, learning a new instrument, or planning a walkout, your success or failure in the matter does not dictate anything about your worth. a person is not their accomplishments and a person is not their failures. whether you win or lose, i’m proud of you. even with the little things. i’m proud of you.

treat yourself with as much kindness as you can muster today, okay? i love you!

Hello everyone! I wanted to tell you that chapter 11am be a bit late. This is because I’ve been severely drained of energy for the past few days and I’m extremely overstimulated rn. Don’t worry, it will still come out. I just need a moment. I hope you understand and have a great day.

To my moots and RP friends, sorry if I don’t respond right away. This for the same reason. Please know that it’s not because I lost interest in the RP or conversation. I wish you all a lovely day.

sometimes...

...all you can do is lay low and let things happen as they do.

that's okay. it doesn't make you weak or lazy. it's simply a way to cope because in those times, even letting yourself exist can seem too tiring.

let yourself be. it's enough. you're enough ✨

I feel so seen and so called out at the same time. I didn't know how much I needed this post until I just saw it. Also, I literally just started scrolling and am not stuck yet... I'll try to remember this post when I do get stuck...

Also, can we take a second to ponder the irony of doom scrolling the internet being such a common problem that there is an entire section/genre of the internet dedicated to reminding people to stop doom scrolling?

Hey. Hey you. The person aimlessly scrolling, stuck in an immobilized standoff with your brain

It's not your fault. You won't be stuck forever. I know you're trying. I know you hate it. It's ok.

And tell the Mean Voice in your head that it's not helping. It knows as well as you do that you would get up and Just Start the task if you could. You're not doing this on purpose.

Take a deep breath. Relax your jaw. I see you trying so hard to break out of it, but you can't force it. You'll get Unstuck eventually. All you can do in the interim is be kind to yourself.

seeing the sky turn a different colour every day and night reminds me that I get to decide each day which colour I'm picking. I get to choose what energy I give and take every day ✨️

thinking about your older bf!simon that cannot cope with being far from you.

when you’re in the shower, he’s sat on the lid of the toilet on his phone (watching those rug cleaning videos) enjoying your faint singing under the stream of water, the smell of your body wash on the cloud of steam- ready to pass you a towel or get your back.

when you’re at your desk, working from home or studying, he’s just on the other side of it reading the paper with one outstretched leg tangled with both of yours. he’s dead quiet when you’re on a call, just happy to be around.

when you’re doing laundry, collecting the clothes in the hamper and crouching to stuff them into the washer- turning around and accidentally colliding with a thick wall of muscle.

“sorry, love”

he steps aside but you can hear his soft footfalls as he continues to follow you throughout your home.

when you’re both watching something on the couch, what starts as his pinky locked with yours turns into his arm around your waist. that turns into your head on his chest, which culminates with you falling asleep in his lap with his cheek on your head and soft snores emanating from his lips.

when you grocery shop, you push the trolley but his chest is to your back, arms either side of you and hands clasped over yours on the handle. you can thank his military training for his uncanny ability to tell exactly when you’ll stop walking.

when he wakes up in the middle of the night, on a rare occasion when you’ve managed to slip out of bed without him realising, he’s immediately in a panic calling your name.

“in here, my love”

as soon as his heart settles, he realises the bathroom light was probably a dead giveaway. you’re taking a wee, you’ll be back in a minute.

that doesn’t stop a sleepy simon from leaning in the doorframe, shielding his eyes from the big light as he waits for you to finish up.

even on the short walk back to bed, you can feel fingers twisted in the back of your shirt- almost like you’re leading the way.

minute you’re both on the mattress, you’re being wrapped up in his arms, slotting you perfectly into the curve of his front- almost like you’re made for him.

(and you are)
