I was thinking... Jen (alternative female version of Ben) is perverted and, I think she would suit the role of Senji (female version of Sanji)

Currently stuck on the idea of Dreamland having an annual winter festival, which Fran promptly forces her family to attend with her.
Also don’t worry! I didn’t forget Flamberge imagine she’s huddled up inside somewhere having a hot chocolate with Hyness

Late Nights
Caitlin Snow x Reader
Request:  maybe a Jealous!Frost x Female!Reader? Maybe Cisco sets reader out on a date to try and get frost and caitlin to admit their feelings for reader, and when reader is about to leave Frost comes out and shyly admits both hers and Caitlins feelings for reader? I think shy & jealous frost is cute. Maybe finish it with a kiss?- @idontloveher
A/N: So I did switch up the request a little bit and I know the writing isn’t the best but I hope you like it. It’s been a hot second since I’ve turned on The Flash, I feel like I may have captured Caitlin’s character incorrectly but this is my first request for The Flash so please excuse any mistakes!
Warnings: Swearing, Innuendos, tell me if you see anything else
———————————
Caitlin Snow wasn’t even aware that Y/n L/n was going on a date that night until N/n asked her to come over to help pick an outfit.��
Frost almost blew Cisco out of a window when she figured out that he’d set it up. Caitlin was done working, merely helping Barry with something, when Y/n had walked in to ask her if she would leave with her then, to help her find an outifit. 
“ Caity bell, Cisco set me up with a date. Care to help me pick an outift?” 
She was leaning against the door, typing away at a computer pad, presumably finishing up her work for the day, and her hair was hanging like a curtain infront of her face. 
Y/n looked up at Caitlin after a moment of silence and tucked her hair behind an ear, “ Caitlin?”
She looked so wonderously glorious in that moment, a smile to her face, the furrow of her brows, Caitlin’s heart leapt at the sight of her. 
But Barry, no Barry was preparing for the blow Cisco was about to recieve from Frost. In those initial moments after Y/n had walked in, Caitlin’s eyes changed and he could see Frost take a look into the world for a moment. It was at that moment when he knew, Cisco was in a deep pile of shit.
Well, not really a pile of shit, he’d more or less just have to deal with Frost and Caitlin complaining about setting their friend up on a date for the rest of the week. 
Y/n began to smirk at the look on Caitlin’s face. She was being pouty but smiling nonetheless. N/n knew that Caitlin would dress her up in something casual yet elegant, because Caitlin knew how Y/n looked in everything, Caitlin knew what made her eyes sparkle and what made her cheeks flush, she knew what looked flattering on her and what complimented her smile. 
Caitlin knew everything about Y/n and Y/n knew everything about Caitlin. 
Caitlin, Cisco, Barry and Y/n the original four. 
But Caitlin and Y/n? They were the original two, the original set, the two people of their group who’d known each other for longer than anyone else did. 
They’d always told each other their secrets, their every thought, but they never told anyone of how they felt for one-another. No, that secrect, those thoughts, were meant only for themselves. Their feelings were something that went unspoken between the members of Team Flash, but neither of them knew that, neither of them wanted to make a move, they didn’t want to seem too ‘desperate’ but unbeknownst the them, they’d been desperate for each olther since day one. 
\\
“ You look stupendous Y/n, don’t worry about anything, Frost and I both think you look beautiful as always. Some random person meeting you at Jitters can’t bring you down.”
“ Are you sure Caity?” she asked, earnest in her voice. 
Caitlin was sure that she looked stupendous, oh she was very sure. 
It wasn’t just another day when her best friend went on a date, no it was a very, abnormal day when that happened. 
“ I’m quite sure N/n. Now hurry off, there’s a person waiting for you.”
\\
Caitlin wasn’t mad at Cisco, no, quite the opposite. She was pleased that he’d gone and set her up with someone because Y/n had been looking a bit down lately. Although knowing it could help her friend feel better, Caitlin, and Frost, couldn’t help but be disheartened at the idea of N/n going out on a date, even a blind one, with someone else. 
Oh how she wished to be the person Y/n went to meet, how she wished to greet her with a warm smile and a peck on the cheek every morning, Caitlin wished the best for her friend but still wished she would turn right back around and tell her the meet up was cancelled. Caitlin was sadenned, yes, but she couldn’t help but be happy for her friend, no matter how much it hurt her inside. 
Caitlin wished she hadn’t gone out on the date but she wasn’t in charge of her best friends decisions, and she never wished to be. 
Everyone should have the right to make their own decisions for themselves. 
Frost handled her emotions differently than her counterpart did. When she’d heard Tech-Boy had set their friend up with someone she’d been infuriated with him. He’d known that Caitlin and I like Y/n and had still gone out of his way to arrange plans?! She was okay with Y/n doing what made her happy, although she couldn’t help but feel jealous of the person meeting her forever love at Jitters. 
Caitlin nor Frost had felt good watching their friend leave the building, they’d each felt uneasy and all they’d wanted to do was reach out, grasp her by the arm lightly and plead with her to stay rather than leave. Caitlin and Frost wanted her friend to be happy so they helped her prepare, dressed in the dress that they’d always favored on Y/n, those sandals that they’d picked for each other; so they might be able to ‘accidentally’ match shoes at work for the day. Caitlin dressed Y/n in all of her favorites, the clothing her and Frost had always thought was their favorite from Y/n’s closet. So that maybe someone else might see the beauty both inside and outside of her, so that maybe one day someone else would come to think those clothes were their favorites on her. 
So that maybe once day Y/n would have someone for herself, someone to cherish like Caitlin and her had always cherished each other. 
And then Caitlin (and Frost) knew exactly what she had to do, because it wasn’t someone else whom she wished Y/n would love and hold with a tenderness so tender it’d be like holding a newborn babe, it was herself whom she wanted Y/n to see that way, it was her who had loved Y/n with that gentle gracefullness ever since they were young. And it was herself whom she wanted Y/n to love with that gentle gracefullness for the rest of their lives. 
Caitlin and Frost were one in the same, but there were things they disagreed on. However what Caitlin was about to do, was a mutual agreement between them both.
Caitlin wanted to be with her best friend, she wanted to be with her for as long as Y/n liked. All she wanted was to rush off and catch Y/n before the date and whisk her away on a plate of ice. But she would wait until afterwards, because Y/n seemed happy when she left earlier. She would talk to her about it after her date, whenever after would be, as for the then and now, Caitlin would go to Y/n’s apartment and get the board games and Netflix and snacks set up for when she would be back.
One of her favorite things to do after going out with someone, which had always been the thing they’d done, was to come to Caitlin’s (or her own) home, watch movies, play games and eat a shitload of junk food.
\\
Caitlin was surprised when she unlocked her door and found Y/n laying on the couch, Barry sitting next to her, and a bunch of Big Belly Burger bags surrounding them.
Y/n turned, leaning against the armrest to peer at Caitlin. Caitlin’s heart nearly broke when she saw the glistening tears on her friends cheeks.
She set down her purse and cautiously walked towards the couch, glancing quizzically at Barry when he stood to leave.
“ Y/n what happened? Why are you back so early? Did something happen? Why are you crying?”
“ No—no Caity nothings happened I just.. I just realized I have something to tell you.”
Y/n looked down, sniffling and waited until after her best friend had sat beside her to talk.
“ Caitlin I—“
“ N/n are you hurt? Take of your blanket, let me see your arms for any bruises—she grasped her face and turned it from side to side— N/n you know how I get worried—“
A soft kiss was planted on Caitlin’s lips, an un-rushed, passion filled kiss.
Y/n let go and smiled tentatively at Caitlin, her finger on the underside of her jaw where she’s pulled Caity’s face closer to her own.
“ That was what I had to tell you.”
Caitlin’s face flushed and Y/n went on to explain, “ Well you see— I was opening the door to Jitters and— and well I walked in and I ended up rushing out because, because well I didn’t really want to go out on a date with anybody per say, anybody but you.”
Caitlin’s face remained unreadable so Y/n went on, “ I called Barry on the way back t—“
“ so why were you crying?”
Caitlin looked depressed in that moment, her eyes were sad and the corners of her mouth were turned down, she reached her arm in front of her to wipe a single tear away and off of her cheek.
“ Because, well I didn’t think you wanted to go on a date with me is all.”
The smile on her face was meek, the smile a child would wear had they been caught stealing cookies.
She reached out and wiped the tear from Caitlin’s eye.
“ there’s no reason to cry my love.”
Laughter, light and bubbly, came from Caitlin’s mouth and she popped her arms around Y/n’s neck, pulling her in for a kiss. One last kiss.
One last kiss. It would be all that she would take.
\\
Turns out, Caitlin didn’t really want to stop at the last kiss. So it was no surprise when morning came and there was the smell of food wafting through the bedroom door, it didn’t take her by surprise at all. After all, it had been a late night.

LAWJACKER {Ben 10/Madness Combat}
...Hello hello hello my dudes. How about a weird-ass crossover for your time? My explanation for this is that I've been on a bit of a Ben 10 kick lately (The Ink Tank keeps on appearing in my damn recommended lmao), and considering my current Madness Combat fixation... You get the picture. I decided to go more in line with the OS style, being that's what I have the best memories with (and I've honestly never been a fan of UA/AF's style). How he got unlocked this dude (save for it already being in the Omnitrix somehow)? No damn clue. Had some help from someone on Discord for the name: Other names I faffed around with were "Lawbreaker" and "Lawless". Either way, wonky to figure out what a 10 y/o would call this bundle of floaty limbs and murderous rage. Oh, he'll jack-up the law alright...
Info time! Prepare for a fuckton of text! Fokkit, have a read more-
Name: Lawjacker
Species: [UNKNOWN DESIGNATION]
Species Original Planet: Earth
DNA Donor: [UNKNOWN]
Omnitrix Location: Chest (10 y/o), Forehead (Ben 10,000)
Physical Qualities:
- Silvery-grey skin, texture of which feels similarly to clay. Skin is less elastic than human skin.
- Strange amount of similar-to-human characteristics, such as the ability to grow a beard.
- Four-fingered hands which seem to float from the body. Lacks proper shoulders as a result. Hands can only be taken so far away from the body without sustaining damage (signified by bleeding where the wrists would be) and forcing him to return to human form.
- Lack of ears and nose (and hair when younger). On face is a strange feature dubbed a "Facial cross" that seems to be over where the center of his face would be, intersecting down where the nose would be. Does have eyes and a mouth, though is capable of hiding either or both without inhibiting senses and the ability to speak, revealing eyes the same shade of green as his human form and his mouth having more pronounced canines.
- Extremely small (possibly nonexistent, further testing needed) legs combined with proportionally large feet. Surprisingly acrobatic and agile.
- Lack of distinction between neck, torso, and where the hips would be. Body shape is akin to that of a tube or column.
- Physically sexless (Though seems to lean masculinely, with a deeper voice and retaining the beard from Ben 10,000's base human form)
- Surprising physical strength despite lack of proper arms, capable of throwing blunt objects with enough force for them to easily pierce flesh.
- Keen physical reflexes and large amounts of endurance. High pain threshold and tolerance.
- More pronounced claws in older age
- Strangely reactive blood. Species normally has bright red blood akin to humans, but it can greatly and permanently change color in response to genetic tampering with the host. "A.T.P." units are a well-known example, having yellow blood from gene-altering for increased durability and physical strength, among other things. In the case of the Omnitrix's sample, tampering for optimal physical and mental status has conditioned Lawjacker to have green blood the color of the Omnitrix-wielder's eyes.
Mental Qualities:
- Sense of humor is noticeably off-color compared to wielder's usual humor.
- Keen reflexes, comparable to a "sixth sense" for sensing danger and watching eyes.
- Nature is immensely violent and aggressive. Coupled with his ability to sense incoming/possible danger, leaves him seemingly perpetually on-edge and often leads to immensely erratic behavior.
- Seemingly innate skill in combat and with weaponry in general. Melees, slug-throwers, energy weapons, bare hands. Oftentimes seen mixing acrobatics with weapon prowess and switching between weapons with ease, along with being prone to throwing his weapons.
- Sensitive to the presence of unnatural psychic phenomena, which this form consistently refers to as "Dissonance". This is most intense when in the presence of outright magic and other bizarre reality-altering phenomena.
- Sensitive to the scent of smoke. Particular form shows immense disdain for it.
- Not emotionally sensitive to the sight of brandished weaponry, immense violence, or gore.
- High pain tolerance.
Strengths:
- Very difficult to get the drop on. Keen senses mixed with being able to sense the presence of others and watching eyes.
- Agile and acrobatic despite bizarre anatomy. Coupled with physical strength, keen senses, and prowess with combat and weapons makes him a difficult combatant head-on.
- Floating hands, though not capable of reaching far, can still be used to bypass obstacles that would be impassable with attaching lengths getting in the way.
- High pain tolerance mixed with violent nature makes his onslaughts difficult to deter.
Weaknesses:
- Not the most diplomatic. Antsiness mixed with general aggressive nature and off-color sense of humor makes him not fit for non-violent negotiation unless being brought in for mere intimidation.
- Though has a high pain tolerance and threshold, is comparatively fragile compared to other aggressive heavy-hitters. Less-elastic skin is prone to being easily torn. Comparatively a glass cannon.
- Aggressive nature and pain tolerance means that they often don't know when to quit and retreat from a life-threatening encounter
- Not as flexible as a normal human, especially in the leg/feet area.
Outfit(s):
10 y/o : Black jumpsuit with a white stripe down the middle attached to a white ring around the Omnitrix on the chest. Black shoes and gloves, black goggles with bright green lenses.
Ben 10,000 : White jumpsuit with a long, black jacket over it. Jacket has a white stripe down the middle and around the bottom edge, along with a white ring mark around the neck/shoulders area. Most of the time wears a black-and-white bandanna around bottom of face, and wears similar green-lensed goggles to his 10 y/o outifit. Omnitrix location on forehead has synthetic growth over top of head connected by white wiring. Wears metal armor over front, held up by straps. Has black fingerless gloves and black shoes with pointed, upturned toes.
Design Notes (Meta Content):
- I used OS designs as reference
- I wanted to retain the primarily-dark color palette of normal MadCom designs. I ended up using designs like OS XLR8 and Diamondhead as reference. The "white stripe on black uniform" look ended up fitting even with Ben 10,000, as his older human design had a black shirt with a white stripe which contrasted young Ben.
- I originally wasn't sure what to but on young Ben's head/face, but eventually decided on goggles like Hank. Other lenses and head wrappings didn't work, and having nothing there felt weirdly naked.
- I referenced off of Jebediah Christoff for the armor on Ben 10,000. I originally attempted more head wrappings to go along with the bandanna akin to Hank, but it felt too cluttered and didn't want to cooperate.
- Ben 10,000 is holding a tablet like 2BDamned.
- 10,000 Lawjacker has claws akin to MAG Agents and how Krinkels has drawn DedmosRebuild Deimos.
- Figuring out the shade of green to use for the lenses/eyes was a massive pain in the ass. The green color did not stay consistent between aliens/characters in OS lmao.
- I gave 10,000 Lawjacker wires on his forehead Omnitrix like how it looks on his wrist in human form, implying that it's growing into him. Thought it fit the grungy-looking feel of regular MadCom.
- I used the sharp toe shoe design from the MadCom fangames illustrated by MindChamber (Madness Regent, Madness Accelerant, Madness Hydraulic) for Ben 10,000 because I thought it looked cool. I originally thought about doing it for 10 y/o Lawjacker, but it ended up looking out-of-place.
- I did the remark about disliking smoke because... you know what tends to happen to smokers in MadCom, right? >8}
- Ben 10,000's chest armor kicked my ass lmao
This took me way too damn long. I hope you like it!

Is Lewis ok tho. I'm here. It's WARM here. I know their understanding of heat can be a lil fucked up because of what they endure whilst racing but. Sir. Wtf lol. It's not like he doesn't have millions of outfit options for every single race to choose from, why does this man start wearing beanies and sweaters as soon as it's like 25 degrees outside. I love the look but... I'm wearing a T-shirt lmao
Lewis looks fucking beautiful today but I can���t figure out how in tf he’s not sweating to death in that outifit given I live two hours by car from the track and weather is a nightmare today
Combining these anons bc they’re basically the same and I already flood peoples dashes
I mean he only spends like 10 minutes in his outfits bc he’s walking from the car to the Merc hospitality and immediately switching into a Petronas shirt, but it still does truly baffle me, because I can’t even wear a second layer from April onward, I probably won’t wear a hoodie till late October MAX. I went to silverstone in July in just a shirt and shorts and I didn’t even get cold when it rained, just to avoid a sweaty second layer, and her here Lewis is in like 4. That man just build different.
No wonder he never buckled under pressure, the fucker shows up to the track heat sealed like a sous vide

Love triangle PT. 2 [Taekook x reader] (a) (f)
PT.1
A/N: Everything in italics are thoughts or dreams. I hope you enjoy this part💕😊 if you haven’t read part one yet, the link is above💕
You reach out to the silhouette that stood in the bright white light, they just walked further away. You hear the cries and whispers of a girl. It’s you. You touch your face, feeling the slick layer of tears that stained your cheeks. You turn around still not being able to see anything but white and then a second figure appears. He reaches out to you this time, another figure joins him, also reaching out their hand.
“Join us” they say in unison. As you reach out your hand hesitantly they disappear like a puff of smoke. You feel your throat tighten.
You wake up breathing heavily with sweat falling slowly down your smooth forehead. You pull the silk covers off of your body and pull your fluffy slippers onto your feet. You drag yourself sluggishly to the bathroom and switch on the light and squint at the brightness. You look at yourself in the mirror and then start to wash your face. While brushing your teeth you hear a buzz from your phone. You walk back into your bedroom and grab it.
Tumblr media
After replying to Jungkook you finish brushing your teeth and then walk to your closet. You pick and outifit and lay it on your bed then heading back into your bathroom to take a quick shower. You turn on the water and the sound of it tapping the floor echoes around the room. You let the water run down your body as you step in, running your hands through your hair. You clean your body with care and step out of the shower, drops of water landing on the cold tile floor as you grab your towel. You dry yourself off and then dry your hair. You get changed into your clothes and wait for Jungkook to beep his car horn.
You hear a loud honk outside and grab your keys, phone and bag. You lock your door behind you after turning off the lights. Running down the stairs you open the door to your apartment complex and run to Jungkook’s car with a wide smile on your face showing your sparkling teeth.
“Get In loser, we’re going shopping” Jungkook says as he rolled down the window just to roll it up again. You open the car door and slide into the small car.
“Let’s go” You Smile at him.
He changes hear and then starts to make his way to the shopping centre. Switching off the car and locking it as you both step out, Jungkook chuckles to himself as you nearly trip over your own feet.
He starts to walk towards the entrances as you scowl at him behind his back. He holds out his hand for you to take it as you run up behind him. You take his hand and smile at him as he smiles back with a slight rosiness on his cheeks.
You two start to look around the different shops, he buys you some clothes, telling you that he thinks you’d look great in them. Eventually you’re both exhausted from all the shopping and decide to stop off at a small café with him.
“What do you want to order?” He asks you while he puts down some bags by your legs.
“Iced Americano? And a muffin?” You ask, batting your eyelashes sweetly which he lightly chuckles at.
“Alright, I won’t be a minute” he says while walking to the small line.
You twiddle your thumbs as you wait for him to come back. Soon he waddled back with a tray in his hands, carrying your orders.
He places it down and you grab your things as you thank him for paying. He smiles at your gratitude and takes his seat.
You two spend the next three hours talking about the most random of topics you could think of, obnoxiously laughing when it got too ridiculous. You were both smiling throughout the whole conversation.
“I guess it’s time to leave then?” You say putting your empty glass of coffee on the tray that was covered in the crumbs of the countless pastries you both shared.
“I guess so, I’ll drive you back.” He smiled, picking up half of the bags as you grab some too.
The ride back was short and silent only until the car stopped.
“I’ll see you soon Y/N” Jungkook said, clicking his tongue as you stepped out of the car.
“You too” You Smile as you enter your apartment complex, waving goodbye as he drove off. As soon as you get inside your apartment you slide down against the door, sighing and clutching your throbbing heart.
NEXT PART WILL COME SOON, I PROMISE! This month has been very busy, I hope you understand. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed💕

Hi! I don't know if you noticed that or it's just me but i do think that clarke's outifit has a meaning.In this season I see her wearing two t-shirts of two different colours (blue and grey) which are also the colours of the Bellarke's t-shirts.What do u think?
Someone made a note that Clarke’s shirt this season is blue, like Bellamy’s shirt in season 1. While Bellamy’s shirt this season is kind of taupe/khaki like Clarke’s shirt in season 1. This I find interesting. I was so busy thinking Bellamy’s shirt was like Well’s I failed to notice that they had switched colors. This makes sense because Bellamy and Clarke often take on the lessons learned or taught by the other, they repeat lines the other said, they take the side first taken by the other. They are two sides of the same coin.
Now why Clarke is wearing two shirts? I don’t know. Will she be removing one at some point? And the top shirt has buttons. Will that be unbuttoned more? I don’t really know what it means exactly yet.
Any ideas?

Juggling full-time work with living in jeep, 5-3-17
Well, life is interesting with living in a jeep and going to a regular job 40 hours a week. Everything has to be a little more carefully planned out. I am currently in a town of only 100,000 people, only 1 library, only 1 whole foods and only 1 rec center. I don’t mind being here even though I don’t really know anyone, but last night I went to the bigger city I was before I got my job, and it was so refreshing to be back there. I saw 8 deer and slept there. I don’t like the idea of commuting there from the city I’m working in because that puts and extra 25 miles on my jeep everyday, so I am settling for going back on days off and for random needs: like last night, necessity to retrieve work clothes. They don’t have the correct size of my uniform so they said to just keep dressing like how I am. Easier said than done when I planned for them to have my work uniform provided. Yesterday I went to target and JC Penny in hopes to find a cheap top that would pass as acceptable, but I was frustrated because I didn’t want to spend money on something I really wouldn’t need in a week or two. I already try to be a minimalist but what can you do when outside factors beyond your control require your problem solving skills. I didn’t find anything I would have been ok with buying money and material wise. My other idea was to go to the laudry mat and just wash my work outfit but then I realized I’d being wearing the same exact outifit for 4 days in a row, as I wear the same one two days in a row usually. Not that I am into fashion but if a person is wearing the same outfit 4 days in a row, it made me wonder if people at work might start to wonder about my living situation: I really don’t want to battle or fight stigmas or assumptions some people might have about people who live in cars, so I want to keep that extremely hidden from my work life, especially at a new job.  So, the idea I settled on was to just drive back to the city where my storage unit is and grab the clothes that would be acceptable. I knew I could also shower at my gym there and not have to pay for the day pass in the city I work in, as I got this job in the middle of having already paid for my gym month pass there so still have two weeks until it expires, and then I will get a month pass where I am now. I also will be out of state next week so that’s another reason to wait to get the gym pass switched later instead of paying for 2 different gyms in the same month now. One thing I am doing to stretch the money even further is I only go every other day and I go at 5 am and then again around 8pm so that I can shower in the morning and then night so that I will be clean and refreshed for my work shift and on every day that I don’t shower, I always know that as soon as 5am the next morning comes around, I will be able to shower before every work shift. So, for instance even though I might only shower Monday, Wednesday and Friday, because I am doing it 5am and 8pm, that assures that between every work shift, I have a shower. So even though on Tuesday I don’t have a shower, I had one the night before at 8pm and before my next shift on Wed, I will have had a shower at 5am.  This makes more sense than spending $5 every single day for only a one time use of the shower facility when the $5 acutally lasts all day. This also helps me with ironing: when I know I need to iron a new outfit, I do that at the 5am shower shift, then I just keep it as neat as I can for the next morning when I won’t be at the gym so that I just rewear the same outfit and don’t need to iron it. So, instead of averging $5 a day, I am only averaging $2.50 a day for showers right now. That extra $2.50 a day can be put towards food/groceries.
Once I got back to my storage unit, I decided I’d sleep in that city. So I set my alarm for 5:20 and hit the road shortly after. I ended up going to wal mart to pick up panty-hose as I realized I might need to look more professional in the skirt I was wearing. They seemed a little more hestitant about the skirt than slacks but I needed an iron free outfit for today and figure if I did it right, the skirt would pass, and it did, and it kept me warmer. I was still cold all day, but it would have been worse without the pantyhose. I don’t really like shopping at wal-mart particularly, but it was the only place open at 6am that I knew for certain would have pantyhose.
It almost let it slip today at work that I live in the jeep when I was telling co-workers about getting the pantyhose before work. I was talking about how I have a limited amount of clothes that will work for the dress code and that them not having the size of my uniform was throwing me off. I almost said something my trip back to my storage unit to retrieve clothes, but I caught myself before the words left my mouth. Had I let it slip, they might have wondered why I keep my clothes in a storage unit and why not “at home.” I have to say, I find it comical that I’m actually getting away with figuring out how to truly balance living in a jeep with having a full-time ‘normal’ job.
One of my friends just started living in his car 2 days ago. Another who’s been traveling for years texted me this morning asking how I am. Sometimes when my days are hectic I forget to reply, as I did yesterday, but she still always without fail keeps asking how I am. Another good friend who’s lived in her van for 4 months and I have been texting about ideas for challenges for 30 days. I am blessed and grateful that I have a set of friends who are familiar with the unique blessings/lessons learned and challenges that help you be a more practical person. Sometimes I feel that if people around me knew I lived in my car, they’d have an automatic association, but having connection and community with others who are also into travel and adventure to such an extent they are willing to also live in their car is really important to me. So, I am grateful and inspired for each of my friends who keep in touch with me who also partake in van/jeep/vehicle life.
