#Y'all want to know why I decided on that?

"you're not going to get anywhere with that tone, you lack tact"
You don't listen to peaceful protests, you don't like angry protests, you don't like my tone when I'm upset, you think I'm faking oppression if I'm upbeat, you don't listen unless I'm suffering, but suffering too much is hard on you or means I'm faking it so I must understand when you neglect me for your "mental health". When you neglect me I make no progress but I'm the one to blame for that cuz Im just not trying hard enough, but try too hard to be heard and I lack tact which is such an affront that I'm not worth listening to no matter how dire my situation. You don't like unsourced posts but sourced posts are "too long" and I should really be more considerate and accessible if I want colonizers like you to-
I'm starting to think the tone & language aren't the reason you don't listen to the message, colonizer.
I'm starting to think you just dont like when I remind you that I'm a human being who deserves liberation from my oppression.
Unfollow me if you're like this. For real. I don't check my follower list so I won't notice you're gone.
Y'all need to understand, everyday I wake up and watch 20k people systematically ignore my posts on white supremacy and anything else that isn't a fun topic to talk about. I can literally see y'all in my notes skipping over my political/solidarity posts and reblog cute cat vids & memes I reblogged instead.
Those people are why I'm deleting my blog at the end of the year. Point blank.
I no longer care if you feel guilt tripped. Your feelings about oppression aren't my problem. As an oppressor they are quite literally your problem to solve. Don't like feeling guilty about this shitty fucking world of politics?
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Care about someone else's comfort for a fucking change.
God knows the world isn't fucked like this because people like me didn't try hard enough. Take a long fucking look in that mirror.
And if you decide you just don't care enough to be an ally:
UNFOLLOW ME, you little shit stain white supremacist

₊✧[BILL CIPHER HEADCANONS]✧₊‧
Tumblr media
He would call you 'Meat sack' 'Little degenerate' and last but not the least 'Butterfly' (I'll explain why butterfly later)
Bill can be into romantic stuff but not in a human way, he wants to give you flowers? he'll give you a rafflesia, want something to eat? he'll give you deer teeth, both rotten and healthy.
There's not a moment of your day he'll annoy the hell out of you for example he'll intentionally trip you when you go down the stairs just to hear you hiss in pain "Haha! you humans don't know what's fun in pain!" while laughing at you, when you're baking he'll put poison rat liquid in your mixture and when you notice the taste he'll once again laugh at you "Tasty right? Haha! I put some poison rat liquid for more flavor!" while you're literally choking to death.
Now as to why I headcanon Bill calling you 'Butterfly' is because you are what people call earthly beauty which signifies a butterfly and that what makes him intrigued by you.
Not only does he find you beautiful but also because you're small and weak for his liking and he can manipulate you however he wants, he can pluck your wings away without you noticing and scientifically proven, butterflies can't feel pain when their wings are cut off.
But out of all his tortures which he called teasing, he does give you special treatment, none of his friends will harm you and as a matter of fact, they will protect you or even befriend you but don't take that for kindness they will still mess with you.
Your patience is now a thin thread and a major headache because of another Bill's antics, so you decided to confront him professionally but Bill being uncanny he just shrugged your reasons and 'excuses' about you being a party pooper and kill joy.
Overall, he's the definition of the hazardous sign of yellow and black flag when it comes to dating and making deals with him.
A/N: This is a total mess! But to clear up my notes and study for my exam I have to post this so I wouldn't have anything on my notes :,) I'll probably fix it, hope y'all like it!

How Obey Me Brothers realized they were in love with MC: Part Five, Asmodeous
A/N: Thank you so much y'all for almost 100 followers and 2k notes! I'm literally sobbing😭😭 I kinda broke the order cuz I low-key got lost and had a writer's block, so I just yapped. Btw I lowkey did not know what to write for him, so this ones a bit...bad? Anyways, enjoy!~
Tumblr media
Asmodeous: The Narcissistic Fifthborn
Part of being the Avatar of Lust was that, well everyone wanted you. It was quite nice for Asmodeous, since he loved and craved the attention he got. But then you came along. You didn't exactly blow him off, but for starters, his magic didn't work on you, to Lucifer's relief (he did not want another person, especially a human to fawn over Asmo), and you sorta just...didn't care about his looks?
It would leave him confused, and honestly a bit shocked. Was he not your type? No no no, that wasn't possible, Asmo was everybody's type! Was it his perfume, perhaps? But that couldn't be it either. He had his perfume hand made, only from the freshest of flowers in Hell, since the flowers of Heaven burned him (who knew holy flowers had Holy water inside?). So it couldn't be his perfume. But as he stood in front of his mirror, examining every inch of his body, the realization hit him like a ton of bricks.
Could it be perhaps....that you found him, the great Asmodeous, ugly? But...how? Asmodeous was the prettiest demon all around!
But he decided not to worry too much and went to bed.
Over the next few days Asmo did his best to look good for you. But he kept failing. You kept brushing him off. He stopped posting as often, and his fans and brothers took notice pretty quickly.
One day, as he was finally uploading a picture, he noticed something he had never expected.
A pimple.
He wailed so loudly that you came rushing into his room and slamming the door shut behind you. You gasped when you saw the pimple, and Asmo assumed the worst. You now definitely found him ugly.
“Go away MC! I’m ugly!”
You approached him, and Asmo felt to soft hands on his cheeks, cupping them.
“Hey…Hey Asmo, look at me. You’re not ugly.”
“B-but I have a pimple!”
“So? I get pimples constantly, do you think I’m ugly?”
“What?! No!”
“Exactly. Why do you think you, the Avatar of Lust, is ugly?”
Asmo looked into your eyes, a soft and sad smile etched onto his face, as he explained why. You smiled softly and sighed.
”Asmo, you’re the most beautiful and handsome man I’ve ever met. I want to be friends and something more. But I want to be friends with you. Not the person you pretend to be. The real you. Free from makeup, the weight of looking pretty, and lust. The you I know you are, but hide.”
Asmo felt his face heat up as he comprehended your words.l
Being the Avatar of Lust meant that people only focused on his lust and beauty, never his own self. And for someone like you to recognize that he was something more than a demon of lust? It made him realize, that maybe he didn’t need to pretend to be something he didn’t want to be constantly…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard mage armour sets, ranked
I've managed to compile the starter and aspirational armour sets for each class, starting with mage. Mage definitely has the least consistent looks across all the factions - the ones I like, I really like, the ones I do not like, I REALLY do not like.
As we like to credit, these screenshots are also courtesy of @kalaelizabeth's character creator deep dive video.
Unranked - Starting armour
Tumblr media
The starting armour sets appear to be the same for all factions and only differ slightly by class. It's not the worst starting armour Dragon Age has ever had (I really hate the one you get in Inquisition that makes it look like the Herald doesn't have a neck), but it's not the best either. There are definitely story reasons for why it looks the way it does, but as I'm keeping this spoiler-free that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
6. Mourn Watch
Tumblr media
Unfortunately Mourn Watch comes in last again, and y'all, I absolutely HATE this. I know what people who want to play Mourn Watch are looking for, and "Victorian mortician at the end of a long shift" is NOT it. The worst part is, I think there is probably something not as bad under there, and I have no idea why on earth they decided to cover it up with a dirty, dingy sheet. I hate this so much I am never going to play this faction and class.
5. Grey Wardens
Tumblr media
Snooze, boring! Past Dragon Ages have had better Warden sets, imo. (I'm thinking 2 and Inquisition here).
4. Veil Jumpers
Tumblr media
I actually don't hate this, and Veil Jumper is pretty consistent across all the classes in terms of having a defined look, but it's still too much brown. How nice would a little pop of green look here? It needs SOMETHING.
3. Shadow Dragons
Tumblr media
I'll be honest - the top three are really tied here. I think they're all really great and establish a defined aesthetic for the faction, class, and are visually interesting. I love the pattern here, and I think these shades of red and blue are unexpected but look great together. And it's just the right level of flash for a Tevinter mage.
2. Antivan Crows
Tumblr media
It's sleek, it's chic, it's deadly. Exactly what I want for an Antivan Crow. I LOVE the feathers and how they have a slight iridescence. It also does what I wish the casual look did and has silver detailing instead of gold. Gold should belong to Lords of Fortune ONLY.
Lords of Fortune
Tumblr media
I expect this look will be EXTREMELY divisive among fans, but personally I think "mage who loves gold and the beach" is an incredible concept for the class. I could even stand MORE stacked bracelets. More is more!
You can also find posts about the casual looks here. Rogue and warrior will be coming out over the weekend!

I forgot to mention it earlier, but I've decided that the Pirodeti are a part of the royalty verse. They're not a widely known thing though, and honestly I think the only two of them that I have as a part of things is Enoch and Shilo.

Melatonin
A FluffyNight drabble to celebrate reaching 50 followers on this account. It's pretty short & not beta read, but I think it's alright for being written in one sitting. Happy reading!
Beep! Beep! Beep! The sound of Ccino's alarm forced him awake, pulling him out of the pleasant dreams he had been having. Even now, Ccino could feel them slipping from his skull, leaving him wondering what exactly he had been dreaming about.
The continued beeping of his alarm pulled him from his thoughts & Ccino groaned, pushing his face into his pillow. Blindly reaching for it, Ccino attempted to turn it off without looking, knocking his hand against the other things on the nightstand before finally managing to push the button to silence it.
Blissful quiet filled the room as Ccino felt Nightmare shift next to him. Arms wrapped around him & pulled him close, holding Ccino close to Nightmare. Ccino smiled sleepily, turning on his side so he faced towards the other. He hummed quietly as he observed Nightmare looking back at him with a lidded socket, an annoyed expression on his face.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Whispering so as to not ruin the atmosphere, Ccino questioned worriedly. Nightmare shook his head & moved slowly, readjusting them both until they were situated comfortably against each other.
Ccino smiled wider & closed his sockets, holding the other in his arms. Together in each other's arms, they both quietly drifted back to sleep.
Bonus scene!
A shrill beeping jolted them both back awake, causing Ccino to jump in Nightmare's arms. Grumbling to himself, he slowly sat up & reached over to the alarm, shutting it off.
Sitting up properly, Ccino stretched his arms above his head & groaned as he heard his joints pop, rubbing the bottom of his sockets with one hand. Picking up his phone & turning it on, his sockets widened in shock as he let out a loud, "Shoot!"
Scrambling & throwing the blanket off of himself, Ccino barely noticed as Nightmare sat up in alarm. "Is everything alright?" Ccino stammered out a reply, mild panic in his voice as he began changing out of his pajamas.
"Everything's fine! We just overslept a bit!" Relaxing slightly, Nightmare observed as Ccino got ready for the day, rushing around quickly so he wouldn't be later than he already was. If he concentrated, he could swear that he heard the meows of hungry cats impatiently calling for their breakfast.
Hastily walking over to Nightmare, having gotten dressed quickly, Ccino leaned over & placed a chaste kiss against his lovers cheek, smiling. "Love you, see you later!" With that he exited the room, leaving Nightmare sitting alone on the bed with only a warm imprint of where Ccino laid as company.

nosy anon again making a return because i think what my brain did was read that i helped find some kind of writing and then did not fully process what the writing was?? but upon rereading i am very intrigued if you ever get the urge to share i will be all eyes/ears/senses required to enjoy things!!
I GET TO DO WIP WEDNESDAYYYYYY!!! the writing exists mostly in the form of a tag (fantastic! 'verse) and also a thirty-two page doc of snippets and planning, so the sense you will be using most is imagination:
don't think i have ever actually formally written out anything about fantastic! 'verse but! the tl;dr of it is that it's a semi-college au: joel is still a hockey player for the lv phantoms, but morgan is a college student-athlete. it's incredibly relevant to the plot that joel falls in love with morgan in the check-out line of a wegman's, lies a little bit, and ends up going back to get his degree.
most of it is just good fun about college kids growing up, but i think there's a lot of parallels between making your way through a development system where traditional "success" isn't always guaranteed (ahl -> nhl, completion of higher education -> pursuit of a career) because that development system isn't always designed for you to "succeed" or have opportunities. heavy quotation marks around success because part of that struggle is learning what you want in life and how you define success. are your dreams achievable? are they still the same dreams you always used to have? it's infinite branching universes of would you still love me if i was a worm (ahl player forever) (a college dropout) (a college graduate) (older) (realizing the fallibility of your body) (uncertain of the future) (human).
silly little snippet:
Tumblr media
#do i LOVE this snippet no we're still workshopping but i felt like y'all needed context for why it's fantastic! 'verse#and i can't link ash's tweet because. priv nor can i link kay or jos' replies so this is me saying Just Trust Me the tweet is this scene#anon the gift keeps on giving. i get to gab i get to be nosy the world is ideal i am here for it#does it count as wip wednesday if the w in question has been ip for four (?) years?#liv in the replies#HI THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT BUT I MISSED WEDNESDAY SO I HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK TO HIT IT AGAIN#BECAUSE I GOT EXCITED ABOUT DOING THE DAYS OF THE WEEK wip wednesday#you know the one oh i LOVE this part audio? that's me any time somebody asks me questions i am SO inclined to share.#one time somebody made a comparison about the blog and walking through a garden and it made me weepy i can't even lie#ALSO I SAW YOUR OTHER ASK i am in the trenches about whether i want to post it or not i did also go look and see her morgan posting in 2019#and maybe she is the same girlfriend?? maybe they broke up and got back together?? maybe she just cleaned up her vsco??? SO confused#(the debate is for all the reasons you mentioned lol it's just me deciding how Public you have to be before i think i want to paper doll yo#into my narratives? in a public forum because i would absolutely dm/gc/etc where there's no chance she could see or be involved#(as if she is on tumblr) but also figuring out how much i let into the sandbox. To Me things like the edm polycule or including wags can be#interesting within the narratives and sometimes i just pretend they don't exist! right now i am intrigued by the fact of whether or not#i invented a girlfriend (???) for morgan but she really doesn't fit into my narratives in a fun/interesting way besides that#and i don't want to spread misinfo if i DID invent this other girlfriend. rip morgan's imaginary (??) gf although i KNOW there was one#with the artsy vsco claw marks on his back. i promise!!! maybe it was just her!!!#fantastic! 'verse#i have better snippets i promise this au is funny it also features like. all of the 2019-2020 flyers because that's when i started writing#AND probably ten of those 32 pages are plans for a sequel/companion about isaac ratcliffe my beloved 😭#don't think too hard about who is actually playing on the flyers or draft orders without people. EYE know who is still on the team#but i did not do the math shenanigans to figure out who replaced people like morgan or scooty loots. vibes only no PP units

🎶✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️ I was tagged by @sheakastilllovesjungjihoon 💖
Well, this is according to Spotify's "On Repeat" so. Here we go with the weirdness:
SPECIALZ by King Gnu - JJK's current opening that I've listened to... well. Let's not talk about how much I've listened to it. But also have you seen the band's music video for it?? If not, please check it out it's so weird I love it so, so much I cannot get it out of my head.
It's Called: Freefall by Rainbow Kitten Surprise
Where the Watermelons Rot by Madelynne Whit - yeah, I've been sort of working on a darker piece of fanfic (for jjk), and this is an eerie Vibe, so it's been on repeat for a while now.
Ophelia by Natalie Merchant - I recently remembered just how gorgeous Natalie Merchant's voice is, and have been replaying this old favorite for over a week now.
I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters - Anyway, every time I hear this song I think of Doflamingo.
Honorable mentions that were pretty much tied for #5: The Dismemberment Song by Blue Kid - yeah, this is a vibe for the darker fanfic I've been churning in my head. But that's just an excuse, I listen to this one pretty often. My Sails Are Set by Sonya Bleousova, Giona Ostinelli, and AURORA - honestly haven't stopped listening to this since the One Piece Live Action came out. Promiseland by MIKA - It makes my ears happy. SAD (Clap Your Hands) by Young Rising Sons

Rating Every Lotion I've tried so far from Trader Joe's
As a backstory to this post, I love Trader Joe's, despite its bougie, expensive nature. They have a lot of random fun products, and a few food goods that are for bizarre and inexplicable reasons the cheapest price around despite being sold by a mini bougie grocery store. (noodles at 99¢ for a 1lb bag comes to mind.) There's one near the library I work at, so I go there a lot after work. Their produce kinda sucks, so I usually go to a different grocers which is closer to my house for that. They do have theee best snacks and desserts however, (also box mac and cheese from TJ's is 👌) so I go there for that stuff. They also have an impressively large collection of soaps, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, etc. for a grocery store. I liked the first lotion that I bought there, so something possessed me to go, hmm let me try aaaaallll the TJ's lotions to find the BEST TJ's lotion. I have skin (especially on my hands) that is drier than the Sahara. (it's all the pottery). Note that this is not a TJ's ad, as I am in no way you know, sponsored by literally anyone. Without further ado:
The first lotion I tried ever from them was their "Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream" This seems to be a product they always have in stock, so it must be a staple product for them. idk.
Tumblr media
Texture: Thick, creamy, medium greasy. You don't need a lot of this lotion when you use it. For your hands you probably need like, a bit the size of a small pea. I find it to be fairly pleasant, as long as you don't use too much of it at once. I give this an 8/10, docked only for the slightly greasy factor when too much is used.
Scent: This lotion is unscented, which is nice for all of us with sensitive skin. 10/10 love unscented lotions, because I don't have to worry about whether the scent is going to disagree with my skin.
Container: This lotion comes in a metal tube that looks exactly like those tubes that acrylic or oil paints (and fancy water color paints) are sold in at art supply dealers. It's a charming aesthetic and makes it easy to throw in your bag on the go, which is what I typically use it for when I buy this. It has a plastic screw-on top. The container is sold in the store in a cardboard box, which feels a little unnecessary from a materials use POV, but makes sense from a "This makes it easier to display on store shelves" POV. The flaws to this design are: the plastic screw on top can crack, making it difficult to put on or take off, and when the lotion gets low in the tube, the metal of the tube becomes quite hard and difficult to squeeze with your hands alone. This makes the end of the lotion difficult to get out of the tube. I haven't tried cutting it open, since I like my scissors and my box knife a little too much to sacrifice to that experiment. I am also fairly certain that this container is not recyclable. This is probably the worst part of this lotion. 4/10.
Moisturizing efficacy: When the right amount is used, this is very effectively moisturizing lotion. Not perfect, and it takes a few tries to get the right quantity, but I liked it a lot 10/10t
Overall Rating: 7.5/10. The major downside to this lotion is its aesthetically charming, but difficult to use packaging. It gets major plusses for being unscented, thick, creamy, and very moisturizing.
The next lotion is the "Nourish Antioxidant Facial Moisturizer". A thing that sucks about TJ's is that sometimes they pull a product from shelves and it doesn't return for like, months. I assume this is because their stores are small, and they want to make room for limited seasonal products (which they have in spades for every season). This lotion seems to be currently off the shelf, which is a shame because I actually really like this one.
Tumblr media
Texture: Thin, medium grease, mildly watery, but like, in a good way that makes it easy to spread quickly. No complaints about texture here. Big fan. 10/10
Scent: This is also an unscented lotion, which all facial lotions should be imho. 10/10 for that.
Container: This lotion comes in a small plastic pump container. This is great for at-home use, but bad for on the go, but honestly I'm not taking it anywhere, so I don't mind. The pump pushes out just the right amount to cover your face with a single pump, which is great. I haven't gotten to the bottom of this one yet, so I can't say how it will do at the end, but for now, it seems to be chugging along great, and isn't getting jammed. Also probably not recyclable. 8/10.
Moisturizing Efficacy: The single pump is enough to cover my whole face, plus leave behind a tiny bit to moisturize my hands with. Because it is a little bit thinner (but not, like watery) my skin seems to absorb it pretty quickly, and is nice and soft after use. It pairs nicely with my cerave face wash and my super goop unseen sunscreen (which I literally cannot recommend enough -- absolutely worth the high price). 10/10, no complaints, would buy again (if they still carried it that is...😥)
Overall Rating: 9/10. Outside of my general distaste for pump containers, because I think they're somewhat wasteful, I love this lotion and am very sad that it seems to have disappeared from the shelves of my local TJ's. Maybe it will come back in the spring???
Next up the "Coconut Body Butter" This one's a year round product that they seem to always have on shelf:
Tumblr media
Texture: This one's nice, thick, smooth and creamy, also medium greasy. It's pleasant to use for that. However, my tub had a few weird solid/gummy chunks in it, that I was not a fan of. I think they were, like, hardened chunks of the lotion that came from the lid as I used it? They weren't there when I first bought it. 6/10
Scent: Fairly strong, but definitely pleasant coconut oil scent that lingers. Fortunately it didn't seem to aggravate my skin which is a plus. I personally find the scent pleasant, but if you aren't a coconut person it's probably deeply unpleasant, as it lingers after use and you can smell it on someone else who has used it from a couple of feet away (ie: across the dinner table.) 7/10.
Container: This lotion comes in a classic round lotion tub. The tub is made of unusually thick, clear plastic and has a screw off lid. The lid was sealed off with a bit of "sealed for freshness" type plastic, presumably to prevent people from opening it in the store. When it was completely full on the store shelf, I almost mistook the thick, clear plastic for glass because of its weight. But there's something, uh, funny about the lid! You're actually not supposed to open the lotion by screwing off the lid! Instead it has a flap life in the lid that you're supposed to use. I find that those things are typically fragile, annoying to use and prone to breaking at the joint, so I just forgo using it like that entirely and unscrew the lid instead. Round lotion tubs are nice because you can get every last bit of the lotion you paid for out of them, and you can clean them out to recycle them or re-use them for something else. Nifty. 7/10 for the confusing lid.
Moisturizing Efficacy: This stuff leaves my skin fairly soft after a use, if a little greasy. I can tell that my skin is absorbing it because when I had to wash my hands with soap and water not long after an application, the scent and some of the smoothness remained. I think some of it was certainly washed off, because my hands were no longer greasy. It's not as effective on my hands as the hand cream, but it's pretty good. 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10. Docked mostly because the scent is pretty strong and the container is weird and confusing. Overall decent product however.
Up next, the "Firming Body Butter + bright clementine scent". This also seems to be a limited lotion (maybe a summer/early fall product?), as they don't have it in my store now that it is December.
Tumblr media
Texture: This stuff is thick, creamy and pleasant to rub around on your hands. It is probably the greasiest of the TJ's lotions that I've tried, and it takes a while to absorb into your skin. If you get this stuff on your clothes, you might get a light grease stain which I'm not a huge fan of. 7.5/10.
Scent: As the tube notes, this lotion has "a bright clementine scent". I love citrus-y scents, which was why I picked this one up in the first place. The scent is very strong, much stronger than the coconut one. However, I am a huge fan of the scent! Every time I wear this around my mom, she's always like "What is that scent?" but like in a good way, and I have to tell her it's lotion, after which she always seems to ask if she can borrow some lol. 8/10 despite the strong scent because, uh, I like the smell. I don't wear perfume, so using this lotion's probably the closest I'll get to perfume lol.
Container: This comes in a pretty classic, soft plastic squeeze tube. It's matte and soft to the touch, with a cute, bright color. It's easy to use, and will probably be very easy to cut open to get the stubborn end of it out when you can no longer squeeze it. The light color matte tube does stain easily if you carry it around, so it looks a little janky after a while lol. It is also definitely not recyclable, which is not unusual for every beauty product ever. 8/10
Moisturizing Efficacy: The skin of my hands is pretty smooth and soft after use, but very greasy for quite some time as it takes a while to soak all the way in. Because it sits on top of your skin for a while, if you have to wash your hands off very soon after applying this stuff, you'll probably be washing some of it away. Otherwise quite nice. Between the strong scent and the longer lasting greasiness I'm definitely not about to put this stuff on my face, but it's great for my hands after the studio. 7/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10 Plusses include pleasant scent, nice texture, easy to use container and decently moisturizing efficacy. Minuses include a little greasier than I'd like, takes a long time to soak in and the scent is particularly strong. Overall decent hand lotion though.
For today's final lotion review, we have the Trader Joe's "Fragrance-Free Body Butter" I've only just bought this one, so I don't have the full experience. I guess It seems to be a new addition to their line up, because they were handing out samples of it in the store when I was there the other day.:
Tumblr media
Texture: creamy, soft, moderate thickness, somewhat more watery, medium grease. It almost feels like meringue and overly thick whipped cream had a baby. 9/10
Scent: As the name suggests, this is unscented lotion, which I like! 10/10
Container: Classic round plastic lotion tub with screw top lid. It's the same size as the coconut body butter, but made from a thinner plastic. It also does not have the weird, confusing lid of the coconut lotion. Maybe someone at TJ's design realised that that was a bad design choice and corrected it for this new lotion? Either way, this is probably the best lotion container style. You get to use all the lotion you paid for (easily) and can wash it out and re-use it or recycle it. I've re-used lotion tubs like this one to keep bar soap in when I travel since the lids are nice and tight. 10/10
Moisturizing Efficacy: Pretty moisturizing, if somewhat greasy. Definitely faster absorption than the clementine or the coconut lotion. Good to use all over since it's unscented. Not perfect, but hey, nothing's perfect. 9/10
Overall Rating: 9/10. I think I've found my new favorite TJ's lotion (That's not the facial lotion. This one has the benefit of, like, still being in the store lol).
That's all (for now) folks! Stay tuned as I try even more TJ's lotions. There are like 6 more on shelf that I've seen and not tried. At least. I think there might even be some fun mini scented ones in gift packages. I'm always trying out new lotions, because, again, my skin is drier than the Sahara. This is a combination of the universe going "fuck you" to me and gifting me dry ass shit skin, doing pottery, which makes your hands even drier and living somewhere where it gets cold as shit (and consequentially dry as shit) for like a solid 1/3 of the year.

for the ask game THE END!!!
writing ask game
I haven't written the ending yet, BUT I have planned it out so I'll just tell u what I'm planning !!! its gonna be the voltron rewrite because that's the project that is currently taking up 100% of my brainpower lmao <3 gonna put it under the cut because there'll be some big spoilers for the rewrite so if anyone doesn't want that just don't click <3
so it ends with the galra empire crumbling and the voltron alliance branching out to help with refugees and freed prisoners so like. earth and the other planets in the alliance help out w humanitarian post war efforts and just help heal some of the damage that a ten thousand year war can cause. and the paladins and og team (who are ALL alive thank you very fucking much) are heading up those efforts but as time goes on they train new paladins to take their place so they can peacefully retire after literally dedicating most of their lives to protecting the universe. shiro and adam get a cat. allura and coran get to see their culture thrive again. keith and lance adopt an orphaned galra kid. hunk starts a machine shop where he fixes up spacecraft and generally is having the time of his life. pidge becomes a scientist studying quintessence and how it interacts with the universe. et cetera. and most importantly theyre all fambly and they love each other soooo so much. and the last scene will probably be shiro and adam slow dancing in their kitchen in the middle of the night because by god after everything im putting them through in this story they deserve a soft ending
