The knock on your apartment door had never felt more damning than it did in that moment.

A knock on the front door was always a nightmare for someone who struggled with their mental health but that was on good days. Today, a knock on the door was definitely not something you were prepared to handle.

So you ignored it. Pulled your covers even further up over your head and hoped that whoever it was would just go away.

No such luck.

You hear the muffled sound of the deadbolt turning and then the seal of the door breaking as it inches open. “Hellooooo?” Is the familiar echo out into the empty space of your place. “Anybody home?”

“She’s gotta be here, her car is out front.”

Fuck it’s both of them. Every hope you had of just hiding and Eddie leaving got thrown out the window the moment you heard Steve was with him. On their own, either might be disheartened by no response – decide they were invading your privacy and leave before venturing too far inside.

Together, encouraging each other, it’s only a matter of minutes before they knock at your bedroom door.

Your pigsty of a bedroom that is covered in dirty clothes and dishes and probably smells weird and they can’t see–

“Don’t come in,” you rasp from your bed, voice tired from disuse as you break your silence for the first time in who knows how long.

“Sweetheart, where have you been?” Steve’s voice comes through the door, obviously right outside it. “We've been calling and calling for days.”

“I… I’ve been sick.”

“Sick? Why didn’t you say something, angel? Could’ve brought you some soup or something,” Eddie adds, sounding concerned. You can clearly picture the wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Eyes closing from their stare at the ceiling, you take a deep breath to force down the sickness that is threatening to rise with every lie that leaves your mouth. “I’m contagious. Don’t want to get you sick.”

“Oh, come on. We’re big strong men, right Harrington? We can fend off a little stomach bug, no problem.”

“Super human immune system, baby,” Steve confirms, and you can hear the smile on his face. It nearly breaks your heart. “No chance you’ll give us anything. So can we come in?”

“No!”

Neither of them say a word after your quick and forceful denial, leaving it to feel like it’s echoing out around the room and grating back into your own eardrums. Just to get it to stop, you softly add, “Please don’t.”

While you’re worried it might’ve been too soft for them to hear, you’re proven wrong by Steve saying, “Then will you come out here?” It’s a soft plea, warm and velvety in its concern and compassion, and it feels like a knife in the chest. “Tell us what’s really going on?”

There’s no way to get out of this. You haven’t showered in days, you probably smell rough and look even worse. You’ve been wearing the same sweatpants and hoodie for a week. And you’re going to have to open your door and face your two closest friends like this.

If you don’t go out there, they will come in here. And that’s too much, it’s safe in here, they can’t come in here–

“Okay, okay. I’m… Just gimme a minute.”

“Take your time, we’ll go hang out on the couch,” you hear one set of footsteps away from your door after Steve’s confirmation.

“Not too long though,” Eddie teases, “I’m gonna raid your fridge and eat all of it if you don’t stop me.”

The threat means nothing as he walks away too. There’s nothing in your fridge left that’s edible.

Anxiety from them being here and wanting them to be gone is enough to get you out of bed for the first time today, picking through the remaining pile of clean clothes to find a different pair of sweatpants and a top that isn’t as marinated in body as your current set, slapping on some deodorant and changing your underwear at the same time. You do the bare minimum to make your hair look less like a greasy, horrible mess and gargle some mouthwash because it’s easier than trying to brush your teeth. This already feels like so, so much effort and you haven’t even faced them yet.

This shouldn’t be this hard. Why the fuck is being a normal human being so hard for you? What is wrong with you–

As soon as you’ve even cracked the door open, their murmuring to each other stops and they turn toward you, looking small and unsure in your doorway. Two pairs of brown eyes staring holes into you, seeing right through you, and it feels so fucking painful that you want to just slam the door shut again. They’re looking at you so softly, with so much warmth and openness. 

Because they pity you.

“What do you want?” Your voice is colder and softer than you meant it to be, not moving from your spot that blocks the view of your room from them. You could step out into the living room and close the door behind you to hide your shame, but leaving the safety of your bedroom isn’t something you’re willing to do yet.

“Your fridge is empty.” Eddie’s voice is as soft as yours but the corners of his mouth are turned down in a small frown. “The dishes in your sink have started to smell. Your trashcan and your mailbox are both overflowing.”

Shame and embarrassment presses hot behind your eyes, looking down at your feet. “If you’re just here to point out everything that’s wrong, you can get the fuck out of–”

“Sweetheart.” Steve cuts you off, not cruelly but enough to make you stop anyway. “When’s the last time you ate anything?”

Your heart drops into your stomach when he slowly stands, starting to slowly walk toward you like you’re a skittish animal. “I dunno… I’m not hungry.”

“Shit,” Eddie mutters from the couch, head falling to look at his clasped hands as he leans forward on his elbows.

“When’s the last time you showered? Left your apartment?” Steve continues, looking like his heart is breaking.

“Steve…” You whisper, a croak in your voice again while you shake your head at him. “Please, don’t… Don’t make me answer that.”

Eddie’s head raises again, drawing your attention. He looks just as heart broken as Steve. “Why didn’t you say anything, doll?”

A humorless laugh leaves you, sounding more like a choked gasp. “What the fuck was I supposed to say, huh? ‘Hey, sorry guys, I can’t even get myself to go to the fucking grocery store like a normal human being, can you help?’”

“Yeah,” he answers, sounding almost angry, shaggy hair falling off his shoulders when he nods, “for a start.”

“Eddie.” Steve looks back at him sharply, giving him a warning look that makes him soften again. When he looks back to you, still a safe few feet away, he asks, “What happened, sweetheart? What’s got you…?”

“Hurting?” Eddie offers when the other falters, pushing off his knees to stand as well.

“It’s just…” Your voice cracks, tears you haven’t been able to find in days suddenly pushing at your eyes without warning. You squeeze them closed as your breath catches to try and stop them.

What are you gonna tell them? ‘Oh everything’s so hard.’ Just tell them you’re a fucking child who can’t handle being alive? Might as well push them out the door now–

“Hey,” Steve’s soft voice interrupts your mental berating, taking another few steps closer. “It’s okay. You can tell us anything.”

“No judgement,” Eddie adds, an echo of one of the first things you said to him when the two of you met. It’s been a constant in the relationship you have with both of them. Anything any of you say – no matter how stupid, or fucked up, or wrong – no judgement. Maybe some teasing, depending on how stupid. But they’ve never judged you for anything and there is no reason for them to start now.

But this? Trusting someone, opening up to someone, letting someone in about this? The idea is terrifying.

“Everything’s just…” You trail off again, looking off and down the hallway away from them as you bring your arms up in a sort of hug for yourself. “It’s all just a lot, right now.”

“Will you…” Eddie shoves his hands into his pockets as he kicks out his boot like he’s kicking a rock. “Will you let us help you?”

You’re shaking your head before he can even finish the sentence. “I– I can’t ask you to do that.”

Steve’s fingertips brush your elbow, the first human touch you’ve had in longer than you can remember, and it has your head whipping toward him. “You’re not asking. We're offering.”

Hot tears increase the pressure in your head, now starting to pool at the bottoms of your eyes as you struggle to make eye contact with either of them.  “I don’t even know how you could help. It’s just… I can’t…”

“How about this,” Eddie walks up, moving to rest his shoulder on the wall beside the door frame you still occupy. “I’m gonna run to the store and stock up, plus grab us all something to eat on the way back.” You open your mouth to protest but he holds up his hand, “Ah, ah, ah.” It’s enough scolding to close your lips again in a tight line before he points at Steve. “Mr. Mom here can get started on cleaning up the kitchen so it’s nice and easy to cook in. And you tell us what you want to do.”

I want to curl into a ball on the floor and wait to die–

Your teary eyes finally look back and forth between them, begging for an answer – for them to put you out of your misery for even just a moment. “I can give you a couple of options to choose from, if that would help?” Steve offers, fingertips still lightly resting on your elbow.

Squeezing your eyes shut, both to let some of the tears fall and to push back the shame that wants to explode out of your mouth, you give him a stuttered nod of your head. “Okay. Door #1: While we do that, you go and try to take a shower.” The immediate pain must show on your face, because he quickly moves on. “Door #2: You come out here and lay on the couch while I start to clean up. You can take a nap, or we can talk, or we can listen to music – whatever you want. And Door #3, you go back and curl up in bed and we come back to get you when Eddie has some food for us.”

Door 3, door 3, door 3, every bone in my body wants to get back in bed and never get up–

A shaky breath in and out, you open your eyes to look at them. Eddie’s face is forced casual while Steve offers a small and supportive smile. You know they wouldn’t judge you if you picked Door #3 and got back into bed. If you went back to the indent you’ve most likely made from all the hours and hours spent in the same spot. But you want to try. Even if it’s just a little bit. Even if you end up back in bed right after anyway.

“If… If I pick Door #2,” Eddie’s mouth tilts up slightly and Steve’s eyebrows raise in interest, “then can I have a hug?”

“Oh angel,” Eddie presses a hand to his chest, right over his heart. “If you thought you were going to get away without a hug in any of those options, you’re sorely mistaken.”

You exhale a small laugh out of your nose, a teary smile on your face as they both step up to sandwich you between them in a tight hug. Eddie’s face presses to your ear, curly hair tickling your nose as he rests his mouth on your shoulder. Steve settles higher, resting his cheek on the side of your head as he tucks you closer to his chest. Both boys are warm, solid, and alive on either side of you – almost crushing you with the force of the embrace. But it’s the best crush you’ve ever felt, one that tells you that you’re alive and that someone cares. It makes the tears come through faster, falling down your cheeks with more force as you shudder in a breath.

Steve presses a kiss to your temple, squeezing you just a little bit tighter. “We’re here for you, sweetheart.”

Eddie’s hand fists in the back of your shirt, forcing you an inch closer. “As long as you need us. Not going anywhere.”

-

now I live in a place that feels smaller by the day four walls closing in from months spent inside them there is too much grief packed into this small place packed into this bed with unchanged sheets packed between these ribs that somehow are still unbroken and no one has ever been here not in this space, not in this bed, not between these ribs they are too full of my own grief for there to be any space I wish I had those tall ceilings to hold all of these things that are too much somehow, I've become the specter that haunted those halls

Happy Christmas eve! Quite a few hairs to finish us off here, however in all this month I still didn't entireley finish off my list of hairs under 2400 poly that I liked. So I've got a nice little backlog of low poly hair that I can retexture at a later date, and now I'm not self confined to under 2400 poly specifically I could maybe add some more to that list from the under 5000 category, which should be fun.

I tried to save some seasonal and fun accessory styles for today! Free 11 is probably the best fit for a christmassey style, the alpha edit isn't my own, it's actually just the alpha that Peggy originally made the greys in for this hair. The bows are a few Aelia colours. Trinity has the distinction of being the *only* 4t2 hair I did this whole month; @antoninko actually did it in the original Afterglow post, but this version is actually a recoloured version of @loosiap's V2 version with added gingham pattern on the scarf (which was not easy to make look decent, as the scarf texture is tinie, but I just didn't care for plain scarves), which sits closer to the head and the texture is blended with Nouk textures. Flora 28 also has hats in Aelia colours. I kind of followed the same logic as Flora with 59, with no pearls on unnaturals, but I made naturals with no pearls, too. Ulker 6 has polkadot headbands- I really wanted to do it as it reminded me so much of Mikako's mum in Neighborhood story! FInally, the tiara on F13 isn't part of the mesh, it's a seperate accessory and the necklace is attached to it. I've included it in the zip so you don't have to go find it yourself.

Additional credits: Peggy, Simcelebrity00, Rose, MYOS, Ulker and XMS Flora for the meshes and original textures, @rascalcurious for the 4t2 conversion, Antoninko for the afterglow textures and actions! check @the-afterglow-archive for more Afterglow ₊˚⊹♡

Hormones & Weight loss (part 2) : Insulin

Insulin is a key hormone that regulates blood sugar levels by helping your body store and use glucose for energy. It plays a critical role in maintaining energy balance, but elevated insulin levels, often caused by overconsuming refined carbohydrates or poor lifestyle habits, can promote fat storage and lead to insulin resistance. This makes weight loss harder and increases the risk of metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.

💛 Signs & Symptoms of Imbalance:

• Strong cravings for sugar and refined carbs

• Difficulty losing weight, especially around the abdomen

• Energy crashes after meals

• Persistent hunger, even after eating

💛 How to Support:

• Balance your meals: Include a mix of lean protein, healthy fats, and high-fiber foods to keep blood sugar levels stable and reduce insulin spikes.

• Reduce sugar intake: Limiting refined carbs, sugary beverages, and processed snacks can lower insulin demands.

• Exercise regularly: Both aerobic exercise (e.g., walking, cycling) and strength training improve insulin sensitivity and help muscles efficiently use glucose.

• Improve sleep quality: Poor sleep increases insulin resistance and disrupts metabolic hormones. Aim for 7–8 hours of consistent, restful sleep.

• Use timing to your advantage: Consuming carbohydrates post-workout optimizes glucose uptake by muscles, reducing the risk of fat storage.

💛 Supplements that may help:

• Berberine: A natural compound that supports blood sugar control and enhances insulin sensitivity (Source).

• Chromium: An essential trace mineral that aids in blood glucose regulation.

• Magnesium: Plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin signalling.

• Inositol (Myo-inositol): Especially beneficial for insulin sensitivity in people with metabolic syndrome or PCOS.

The Ptolemaic Gateway to India: Myos Hormos

© J.-P. Brun

The Ptolemies led a luxurious lifestyle at their court in Alexandria, showcasing their wealth through exotic objects from faraway lands—places known to the Mediterranean world only through bedtime stories. Egyptian trade with distant Asian countries was conducted via sea routes, as the Seleucid rivals, and later the Parthians, controlled the land routes through Persia. The Egyptian kings invested heavily in expanding the harbors along the Red Sea and improving the roads connecting these ports to the Nile Valley. One such port was Myos Hormos.

The name "Myos Hormos," according to one tradition, derives from the Greek words Μυὸς Ὅρμος, meaning "Harbor of the Mouse." More likely, however, is that it means "Harbor of the Mussel" (μύειν, to close, as in a shell), given the presence of pearl mussel fishery in the region. David Peacock and Lucy Blue of the University of Southampton have identified the site of Myos Hormos at present-day Quseir al-Quadim.

Myos Hormos was chosen as the principal harbor for trade over Arsinoe, further down the Red Sea, due to navigational challenges in the Heroopolite Gulf that ships bound for Arsinoe had to traverse. Another significant port in the region was Berenice, founded by Ptolemy II. However, Berenice began to flourish and rival Myos Hormos only during Roman rule.

Ptolemaic merchants from Myos Hormos sailed to various destinations in the Indian subcontinent, including the Indus delta, Muziris, and the Kathiawar Peninsula. A valuable source describing these routes is the anonymous Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, written in the 1st century CE, which details the harbors and stations along the Indian Ocean coast.

Myos Hormos continued to prosper under Roman rule, with trade with the Far East actively supported. Strabo notes that during the reign of Augustus, as many as 120 ships set sail from Myos Hormos in a single year (II.5.12). The Romans further fortified the road connecting the port to the Nile through the Eastern Desert and highlands. However, as the Roman Empire declined, so too did the trade through Myos Hormos with the Far East.

The Essence of Buddhist Mantras

The philosophy behind Buddhist chanting

Buddhist chanting is not merely a ritualistic practice; it's an exercise that connects you to the universal truths of existence. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha, these chants drive you away from negative energies, emotions, and states of mind that guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and the universe.

The role of mantras in meditation and enlightenment

Mantras play a vital role in Buddhist meditation, aiding in concentration, mindfulness, and inner transformation. By repeating a specific Buddha mantra, the practitioner can enter a state of focused awareness, transcending the chatter of the mind. When you chant this repetitively, it creates a frequency that aligns with the natural vibrations of the body and mind and leads to a state of harmony and enlightenment. Whether it's the calming "Om Mani Padme Hum" or the empowering Buddha mantra for success, each chant has a unique purpose and effect.

The essence of Buddhist mantras lies in their ability to cultivate compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness. These three virtues are central to Buddhist philosophy and practice. Mantras like the Tara mantra are chanted with devoted love and compassion, while others like the Buddhist mantra for protection invoke wisdom and insight. he focused recitation of mantras fosters mindfulness, the practise of being fully present and involved with the present moment.

9 essential Buddhist mantras for life concerns

There are various Buddhist practices for specific purposes. It may help you in case of various needs, from healing and prosperity to love and spiritual growth.

9. Shakyamuni mantra

Chant “Om Muni Muni Mahamuni Shakyamuniye Svaha Om” as it shields you from harmful energies and negative emotions, fostering a sense of safety and protection. Additionally, it soothes the mind and helps you get over anxiety and stress.

Understanding the life of Buddha and his teachings is central to appreciating the depth of Buddhist mantras. His journey to enlightenment and the principles he taught provide the foundation for the various chants and their applications in daily life.

After revamping Ecliptic lore, I've decided to open a starter event where folks can get MYOs, species currency, and participate in a discount sale raffle! This event will last one month, March 1-31, 2025.

The Ecliptic universe is a world of Light and Darkness, Angels and Demons, but also those in between - the Oscuraphim and Lumions. Light and Darkness are always in balance, and neither is inherently evil. See details below.

The Oscuraphim (singular: Oscuraph) and Lumions (singular: Lumion) are both closed species. They are beings who stand between Darkness and Light, they are both and neither. Angels and Demons in this world are semi-open species in this world. Angels, Demons, Oscuraphim, and Lumions are all referred to collectively as "Entities."

Read more about them on the species lore document! 

Free MYO

For this event, you can create a free Ecliptic MYO (Oscuraph or Lumion) by doing the following: 

Join the Auspicium Discord server and make an intro. 

Join the Ecliptic TH World. 

Advertise the event by doing any of the following: 

Make an advertisement post for the raffle e.g. TH bulletin, dA journal/status, Bluesky post, Discord server with 100+ members. You can also reblog and add a comment in your reblog to this post.

Share the event info/link with someone specific, who's not a new or active member of the Auspicium (counted by the timestamp of your message). For instance, ping or DM a friend, or ping someone on a "free-to-ping" list. 

When posting your MYO in MYO Submissions, please include a link or image to the advertisement! 

You must submit this MYO during the event! Once the event is over, this freebie is no longer valid.

Please be sure to refer to the design guide.

AFTER A 2 YEAR HIATUS, I FINALLY FINISHED ITTTTTTT

Ngl pausimg this work for 2 years is kinda a blessing in disguise since by then I had learned many art techniques including one for the bubbles (which admittedly was pretty experimental but I loved how it turned out)

Also I hate drawing bgs ahsjdhejebbd

Anyways this is for my FTO prompt and its THE GOAT PEARLLL

Anyways uh I decided to draw her at a beach at sunset displaying some bubbles :3

Pearl is owned by gaaraspotato on Discord :D

https://toyhou.se/16215368.-edeia-pearl

Oh yeah this is kidna related to why I'm not so active, since now I'm focusing on trying to complete an FTO prompt for an EXTREMELY cool closed species known as Edeia, owned by @ausp-ice who is an AMAZING ARTIST

Edeia yap session below if ya interested vvvvvv

Imma just take this time to glaze Edeia for a moment because its genuinely an amazing closed species because IT HAS NO DESIGN LIMITATIONS since this is a more lore focused closed species

Aside from spending money to buy Edeia, if you are a feebie person like me, you can take a First Time Owner (FTO) prompt which you just need to write and/or make art and bam, MYO/Notion (which is essentially Auspice designing your Edeia for you) for free

Even after FTO, you can collect currency to get a MYO, Notion or even special traits by completing funny prompts with writing/drawing

Comparing these to other closed species freebie options where you just need to like spam a command every day or heck, even rely on luck to even barely get a chance to claw your way to an MYO (Staring at you, Terraliens, I like y'all but for what is essentially a furry with a glass face I do NOT want to spend possible YEARS betting on chance just to be able to get 1 simple MYO along with 90% of traits locked behind items)

So yeah completing prompts for Currency is not only more fun, but it can help develop your own Edeia and drawing/writing for currency is definitely more fun than grinding for it

Anyways I should also specify YES YOU CAN GET A EDEIA WITHOUT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DRAW, YA JUST NEED TO WRITE GOOD

Also aside from yapping about the "technicalities" of the species and what I love about it, the concept itself is so cool

So essentially Edeia are beings that embodies various ideas, from more abstract ideas like Anomie, Potential, Vogue, or more straight forward ones like Music, Technology, The Tides, or even very silly ones like Simping, Skrunkly and C h a i r (Yes those are real Edeia you can check the masterlist of over 500+ Edeia)

By the way I should also mention that most if not all Edeia are born as they are, usually, they start their lives as humans, animals, objects or even creatures outside of the Ideation universe (aka the universe of Edeia) that become very intune with a certain idea/concept, leaving their past forms behind to pursue it and thus embody said idea/concept.

Also yeah they kinda do become similar to gods because they are immortal, only being able to die by disassociation, can have very powerful abilities depending on their idea, and technically can travel beyond their own universe if they wish

Also again I will mention Edeia can appear as ANYTHING, therefore there is absolutely ZERO design restrictions and you can literally draw whatever tf you want as long as its associated with their idea

If you wanna learn more about Edeia, you can check out the official website here :D
