What does your heart look like?

Broken, missing pieces that once were there

Your heart has been torn before, chipped and maybe even shattered. Some pieces will never be recovered, and you are shaped by the loss. But it can still be shaped into something tangible, something good, even with its flaws and imperfections. You don’t have to do all the work of rebuilding by yourself. Allow other hands to leave their fingerprints on the new heart you create from the remnants.

Wolfenstein??

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Blazkowicz obviously, love that fellow! But also Fergus gets a lot of attention he's just neat character with his humor, aggressiveness and the fact the writers just managed to make the characters feel so massively as people!

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Wyatt, it's given fandom just treats him as this pure man who's sunshine incarnate, deserves the world (he does tbh he's so good)

He's just sweet American boy who won't even swear but still fights for his country. He's not all "pure", he has drug addiction problem later in life, but like Fergus, fandom adores him.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Sigrun and Tekla!! Also Caroline!! I think people just don't give enough credit to the fact that these women well, feel like women in genre where they are absent or afterthought (even when they're optional playables)

Sigrun is just neat, she's this lovely young woman who has misfortune of growing up with absolute awful mother who belittles her, her thoughts, her eating habits, everything constantly. She still managed to be kind & sweet to anyone she meets and that's so admirable! I wish people (including in universe) would give her more respect & love

And Tekla!! My mathematics genius friend! I wish we knew more about her than that & she's into philosophy but I love her!

Caroline tho!! Canon & badass wheelchair user? In my shooter game? You got it!! Also she's canon lesbian I think? She's the one in charge, one everyone looks up to and it's great! She & Blazkowicz have known each other way back too!

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Pippa from Old Blood!! She's in the game for like 2 scenes but she was good! Had snarky side, her first words are basically "where's your shirt blazko`" I love it lampshade the fact he's been running half game w/o shirt. She's shown to competent too as she has killed officer before Blazko arrived & two chat quite easily with one another & clearly have met before (Blazko mentions some party in London HQ). I wish she had lived! She also shares first name with other Pippa from Vampyr, both are nurses too!

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Bubi aka Hans!! He's antagonist but hilariously bad, he's just basically this boy toy to Irene Engel who's like how many years her senior? Good for you I guess. He doesn't even do much in the game he just follows Irene and flirts with her in a way that's both eww and somewhat hilarious.

He did try to kill Blazkowicz with some serum that supposedly would paralyze elephant but that failed not due to his efforts. Also he gives me giant bisexual vibes, you cannot simply look the way he does without feeling some attraction to men- (He does state Irene is his everything but like it's the Vibes)

He's my love to hate kinda character but the hate part isn't prominent so I just love the way he just exists and is written

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

I'm sorry but Grace. I found her, well, annoying. She has good motivations and good lines, but branding other people as fascists who are fighting on your side, even as "secret test" is just shitty. (I get where she & J come from though but nope) The way she leads feels from different franchise in a way and I wasn't fond of it. I prefer Caroline as leader.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Irene Engel! She's written fantastically! You know from second you meet her she's force to reckon with but also makes you uneasy af. She has so many crimes I won't list them but she is, dare I say, mold to create women as antagonists in a way for me. I hate her bc her actions, far more than with Bubi. She is the face of regime, more so than Deathshead (who also belongs in superhell, for different crimes) and thus she feels more personal as villain & I just despise her (kudos to actress & animators!)

CROSSOVER VERSE FOR THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE where jeremy went down a bad path and accidentally became superhuman

the idea was simple enough. S.H.I.E.L.D. had made an enemy, and that enemy had thought they’d made the best possible choice in order to take the organization down. an addict will do anything to get their next hit - so why not turn the addicts into supers? they’ll be loyal to you as long as you keep them dosed up… the only issue with the plan was that S.H.I.E.L.D. caught wind of the plan. of the formula, to dose the drugs with what could only be called a super soldier formula - like what they’d given to captain america, except maybe… stronger.

jeremy gilbert was unlucky in that way. of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. would manage to stop it all from being distributed - except the one dumb baggie that he’d bought. and worse - of course S.H.I.E.L.D. would come to stop him from taking it not five minutes too late. and worst of all - of course he’d only be able to get out an angry, “what the actual fu-” before he’d fallen into what most people would call seizures, but really… was just the change coursing through his body. the speed he’d ingested made his body react faster - heart rate sped up, and it almost felt like he was thinking faster. because he was.

he was fast - maybe not as fast as he could be, but fast enough to make a difference. fast enough to outrun a car… if the car was following speed limits. his reflexes could catch a knife being thrown at his face, his thoughts raced to the point that he was ten steps ahead of everyone else, and he was strong. more blood to his muscles, the more he could do. he became superhuman.

there were limits, of course. though he gained an eidetic memory, he wasn’t smart - he could remember everything that had been thought of, sure, but he lacked the mental capabilities to think of the next step in the equation. if he had point A and point B, he didn’t know how they led to point C. his healing capabilities had sped up, but he still hurt. still ached.

so S.H.I.E.L.D. turned him into an asset they knew they could use - because he couldn’t be trusted to be in the world alone anymore. they trained him to fight, to aim, to be the perfect spy - because all he needed to do was get a glance at the information they needed, and he had it memorized. his more-often-than-not bumbling personality came in handy when he went undercover - he wasn’t intimidating by any means, so most people figured he was unassuming. he was easy. even if he was the one bringing them down in the end.

jeremy gilbert wasn’t good - but he was super.

ONE DAY YOU’LL WAKE UP AND YOU WON’T RECOGNIZE YOURSELF ANYMORE.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION :

— i think something important to note about jeremy is that even though he has a photographic memory, he’s still DUMB AF. i have a lowkey headcanon that in the first avengers movie, he’s invited to work with the science bros bc he said some pretty impressive stuff in that scene where tony and bruce first meet ( bc he read up on the things he needed to know about the night before ) but as soon as he got to the lab they realized that YES he knew everything that had been written about this stuff, but he ( for whatever reason, bc at the time they didn’t realize how dumb af he is ) couldn’t make any advances in it. couldn’t take any steps forward or anything like that.

— think of him along the same lines of captain america’s abilities, except faster. being administered through drugs was a KEY point in the super soldier serum - depending on what drug it was mixed in ( theoretically, since the only batch that actually got used was the speed that jeremy had taken ), it essentially suspended the body in the state it was in by taking the drugs. so, theoretically, if it was laced into a psychedelic drug, the user would have more psychic capabilities and so on.

— um i’ll probably think of something else eventually but yeah for now take that. i haven’t thought of his “avenger” name yet, or anything, but he’s more of a… superhuman, male version of black widow, almost? except obviously without the same history.

20 Under-$20 Heat Protectants for Anyone Addicted to Their Flat Iron

New Post has been published on https://www.claritymakeupartistry.com/20-under-20-heat-protectants-for-anyone-addicted-to-their-flat-iron/

20 Under-$20 Heat Protectants for Anyone Addicted to Their Flat Iron

Is it just us or do flat irons and blow-dryers get used a whole lot more during the winter season? I mean, it actually makes perfect sense: After all, hot tools and the sweltering elements are about as mismatched as it gets. Because while you may spend hours carefully parting, combing and straightening every section of your freshly washed mane, the moment you step into humid air, all of that hard work practically disintegrates into an almost-instant messy pouf.

The beauty of heat-styling during the winter is that you needn’t worry about your style falling apart in the cold, though it’s still just as important to protect it from wet snow, rain or high winds, depending on the weather, which always seems to be unpredictable.

And because your usage is on the rise, the same must be so for day-to-day-repair. Enter the ever-dependent thermal spray or cream, a primer made with nutrients that not only give your hair the moisture and luster they’re prone to losing during the hot tool process. They also coat your strands so that even under the pressure of heat, sometimes up to 450 degrees, it will be able to retain its natural texture whenever you’re ready to cleanse again.

The ones we love most just so happen to be affordable too, with price tags that stay under $20. From creams formulated specifically for textured hair to mists that also detangle, these heat protectants may or may not be the secret to keeping your blowout on point.
