I feel stagnant in my weight gain /: what do y'all think?

This is from the 19th , so three days ago.

Do I have body dysm/orphia or something? Because I genuinely feel like I'm either losing or staying the same weight and it's really making me pretty depressed. But I have to know the truth, please don't lie.

My appetite has been all over the place due to sickness ( from something unrelated. ) so I hope it's just my head playing games on me and I didn't lose effortlessly without lifting a finger to do so. genuinely my worst nightmare.

It’s midday and you’ve been driving down an isolated road in fuck-knows-where with the hopes you’ll be able to find a gas station in at least 15 minutes. You’ve been driving down this straight road for what felt like ages now, your only surroundings being orange-colored sand and leafless plants. 

Never in your life has driving made you more anxious, it was like you were in charge of safely disarming a bomb. You gripped the wheel and glanced at the gas gauge occasionally, each look wearing your hope thinner. You were supposed to fill your tank before leaving, but it wasn’t in your plans to get lost in the first place. You knew your incompetence would catch up to you eventually, but you didn’t think it’d be now. 

Your teeth grit against each other as you raced against time. You desperately repeated affirmations, hoping they would help you along the way. Maybe if you ignored the fact you could be stranded, you’ll get to your destination faster. 

My gas is NOT running out…

I will NOT have a mental breakdown…

I AM responsible…

Not even a good moment later, the engine starts sputtering as if you called it upon yourself. You desperately tapped at the fuel gauge, resulting in the amount dropping drastically. To your surprise, it’s been showing the wrong amount the entire time. You drove towards the side of the road so you could let the tank run out while you spit out a colorful array of obscenities. There was no doubt in your mind that this might be the worst day of your life.

You slammed at the dashboard of your piece of shit, beat up, 2012 Toyota Tacoma with unprecedented rage, dropping your head onto the steering wheel in defeat. The depleting noises the engine made as it slowly died only added to how you were feeling. Your face heated up and your eyes brimmed with tears; not because you were sad, but because you were so damn pissed.

“Fuck my life...” You sobbed out, forehead pressing harder into the wheel. 

The sudden blaring sound that came from the car’s diaphragm jolted you up and caused you to yelp out. Everything’s silent for a while— you included— like a city before a tsunami attacks or the quiet before a dam bursts. In proper fashion, you unleashed a waterfall of tears; slowly, but surely, turning into a wallowing mess. Tears, snot, and saliva everywhere all because you made an irresponsible decision and drove a terrible car to make irresponsible decisions in.

Out of frustration, you honked some more, beating at the wheel’s center like there’s a solution inside of it. Certainly, this wasn’t the best way to handle your situation, but it was the only thing you had the energy to do. Amidst all the beeping and profanities, you failed to notice a car pulling up beside you. They honked their horn in unison with yours and the harmony caused you to frantically look around for the source.

You turned to your left and your gaze was met with a green set of eyes. It only took a second longer for you to realize who or what was looking at you. A woman with short auburn hair and a freckled face was shooting you a concerned glare.  

All that was running through your head now was that a woman was looking at you and the manic episode you were having would undoubtedly scare off any future prospects. As your stomach turned into knots of shame, you muttered a low swear and quickly wiped away the remaining tears on your face. 

You took a deep breath and calmly rolled down your window, which took an agonizingly slow amount of time. You occasionally spared the woman a few awkward glances with an equally awkward grin. Your humiliation built up along with the comically loud sound coming from the rolling window. After what felt like an eternity later, the window finally rolled down and you looked up to meet the woman’s gaze again, further examining her features.

Right there and then, you swore your heart fell out of your ass. You never thought you’d find yourself saying something so cliche, but the lady was a sight for your teary sore eyes. She was wearing a simple gray tank top, which showcased her spectacularly shaped arms and tattooed forearm.

The sight of her alone made you question your sanity. Maybe you were imagining her to make you feel better? You wouldn’t be surprised if you did.

 As you looked up at her even more attractive face, you noticed her scarred brow was perked up, which could only mean she noticed you staring, and based on the subtle curl at the corner of her lips; she found it amusing too.

 Your face instantly warmed up. You needed to defend your ogling quickly, but before you could manage out a single word, the beauty beat you to it.

“Are you okay?” The woman questioned, the slight lilt at the end of it only deepened your embarrassment. It physically pained you to imagine how much of your breakdown she saw.

“I’m fine, I was just...” You couldn’t finish your sentence, so you let out a sheepish laugh to fill in the space. 

“You sure? It looks like you’re having some trouble.” The woman gestures her head at your car as she speaks, not breaking a second of eye contact. 

You chewed on your lip, nervously shifting your stare before admitting, “Uh, yeah. I ran out of gas...”

“Looks like it slightly inconvenienced you.” 

A subconscious scoff fell from your mouth as you lazily gestured around you. “Slightly?”

“Just a guess. I could hear the honking a mile away.”

“Yeah, well, that’s the only thing that works on this junk.”

The woman let out an amused hum, casually glancing at the road behind her before turning to you again. “Did you already call for help?”

“Nope...” You responded, your eyes still wandering off.

 The woman idly wet her lips in thought before driving up the road. For a moment, you thought she rudely left you stranded on the side of the road, but after carefully looking, you noticed she was driving a tow truck. 

Your previous thought that she might be a figment of your imagination immediately came back, because what the hell? A real-life angel came to save you at your lowest. She parked in front of your car and stepped out of the vehicle and you peered out the window of yours, shamelessly following her movements in awe.

She was slim, lean, and held an average height. The jeans she was wearing fit her so nicely, you actually had to pinch yourself to stop looking. 

You reached for your rearview mirror and pointed it towards yourself, making sure most of your makeup was intact. Much to your dismay, your eyeliner was smudged, and your lip gloss was wiped away. So, not only did she watch you wail like a baby, you looked like one too. You glimpsed back at the woman, making sure she wouldn’t catch you in the act of dolling up for her. 

You stepped out of the car after quickly fixing your makeup, a bit shy to face the woman now. You weren’t particularly dressed like you were ready to do any flirting today, sporting a white graphic crop tee and distressed blue jean shorts. Nonetheless, you fidgeted with your clothes before approaching her. 

She double glanced at you as she moved stuff off the truck’s ramp, eventually blurting out, “I don’t have any gas in my truck, and uh–“ She abruptly stopped her action to look at you as she spoke, “– there’s no gas station out here for a while, but I have a garage not too far away.” 

“You’ll help me? I mean, is it okay? I don’t wanna shit on your plans.” You asked, but mostly out of decency. You needed the help after all. Plus, your only other option was to wait for another mechanic instead of just going with this extremely hot one.

She grinned and nodded a few times reassuringly. You found that every little motion she did melted you a bit. Just the tease of a smile from her could turn you into pudding. “It’s no problem, I was headed there anyway. It’s not every day I get to rescue a damsel in distress.” 

You bit down a bashful grin as you muttered a thanks and she told you to wait in the passenger seat. When you walked off, you swore you could feel her eyes burning into you. You couldn’t tell if it was a phantom feeling or if she was actually staring you down, but every inch of you hoped for the latter.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

You took a look around your surroundings. The car smelled like diesel and marijuana, but you weren’t expecting much from a tow truck. There was a cute 3D dinosaur pendent hanging off the rear-view mirror and the car had small handmade stickers across the dashboard. 

Before you could look any further, the woman stepped into the driver’s seat and started the car. She just hooked your car up to hers, so she had to take a look behind to make sure it was in place, setting her tattooed arm on your headrest as she did so. Your heart skipped at the closeness and all you could do was stare at her like a dork.

It was slightly perverse how much you enjoyed staring at her face. You’ve seen beauty before, but she was a discovery. Another plus was that she smelt really good. She didn’t wear a sweet or flowery perfume. She wore something earthier, and it blended in perfectly with that slight hint of gasoline. The best way to describe it is that she smelt like a pinewood air freshener in a new car but fucking hot. 

The woman caught you off guard with a glance, her own face a bit shocked to find you looking at her. You quickly averted your gaze and eyed the road up instead, pursing your lips together as if nothing happened, attempting to ignore the shame away.

You were obviously embarrassed, and that usual mortified feeling washed over your body. She didn’t laugh or anything, but as she retrieved her arm and put her hand on the wheel, you nervously glimpsed at her face and saw a small, smug smile. 

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The drive was painfully quiet. All you could hear was muffled crunchy sounds of the road and the humming of the truck’s engine. You sat there, fiddling with your shorts as you slowly zoned out.

“Where are you headed?” The woman blurted out, causing you to abruptly turn her way. She was still focused on the road ahead, so you took the time to peer at her side profile, in which you deemed needed to be framed and hung up in an art gallery.

“I’m going to see my family upstate for the holidays.”

“How long have you been driving then?”

“About... three hours.”

“Three hours and you didn’t think to stop for gas?” She huffed out a melodic laugh and peeked at you. You’d let her tease you as much as she wanted as long as you got to hear that laugh again. 

“I thought I had enough! My stupid tank was reading wrong.” You responded, puffing your cheeks out at the thought.

“I’ll fix that too then.”

“That’d be appreciated.”

“Why’re you driving that old thing anyways?”

You shrugged as you spoke out, “Well, I’m a college student and it’s better than nothing.”

“Really? What’s your major?” She looked at you for a moment with genuine curiosity. It didn’t feel like she was just looking for small talk.

Her interest was comforting, but you were slightly wary to say it. Your major didn’t necessarily scream out sexy like psychology or law would. You hesitated before slowly speaking out. “… Astrophysics.” 

You knew the chances of her having any idea what your nerdy major was about was incredibly low. You bit your lip as you waited for the awkward ‘oh’ or ‘cool’ that usually comes after. 

“Astrophysics? That’s actually fuckin’ sick.”

Your brows rose in shock, never expecting anyone to respond that way. “Yeah, I like space stuff... I guess...”

You rubbed your forehead at your dull awkwardness and the woman let out another satisfying laugh at your lack of explanation. “That’s one reason to get into it. I like space stuff too. I think constellations are pretty neat.”

You smiled to yourself at her sincerity, and consequently, the thought of stars perked you up in an instance. “Me too! I had the perfect view of Aquila from my backyard growing up.”

“I’m jealous. I struggle connecting them myself, so I just go to that one space museum in the city to look at ‘em. But, fuck, if I could see– I know this is basic, but– if I could see Ursa Major with my own eyes?”

“You haven’t? The Big Dipper is one of the easiest to find.”

She chuckled before she spoke. “You’ll need to help me find it then.”

Help her find it? Lay underneath the stars and connect them with her? It was a very nice thought in your head, but you’re 100% sure she said it without thinking. You expected the previous silence to continue after that until she broke it again.

She was clearly embarrassed by herself, twisting her lips before finally saying something. “My name’s Ellie, by the way.” 

You sheepishly responded with your name and Ellie subtly smiled as she continued to drive down the road. 

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

You guys pulled up to the driveway of the mechanic garage. There was a large decal with ‘MILLER AND CO’ over a wrench painted on the metal doors. The area was just as deserted as the road you guys drove on, minus the few farms around now. 

“Is this yours?” You asked.

“Nah, it’s my dad’s. I try to enjoy it like it’s mine though.”

“Has this always been what you’ve wanted to do?” You wondered out loud, only to feel regretful after. You didn’t know her, and you were already asking personal questions. The slim chance she’s suddenly put off by you made you wanna curl into a ball and cry.

“I mean, I always wanted to be an astronaut growing up, but that was never in the cards for me. Things changed when my dad adopted me, I was practically glued to him. I did everything he did.” Ellie freely answered and it dropped your worries instantly. You found her openness incredibly attractive. At that moment, you could feel yourself yearning to learn more about her. “I still love everything about space though, don’t get me wrong.”

“And dinosaur stuff too?” You cheekily queried as you pointed at the rearview chain.

Ellie glanced at the cutesy decor and chuckled. “And dinosaur stuff too.” 

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

After getting the cars into the garage, Ellie steps out of the car and walks over to your side. You watched curiously as she strolled to your door and popped it open for you. 

You stared and she stared back expectantly, gesturing for you to hop out. You smiled slightly at that, and Ellie smiled back. God, you could watch her smile for days on end.

“You can sit anywhere, it shouldn’t take too long.” Ellie said as you stepped out, closing the door behind you. 

You turned to face her before continuing the conversation. “Thanks again. Also, err... how much is it gonna run me?” Your teeth clenched a little as you asked. It wasn’t the first thing that you wanted to say, but you weren’t made out of money. I mean, look at what you were driving.

Ellie snorted at your expression and shook her head. “Don’t worry about it.” 

In response, you gave a doubtful look. There was no way she was this kind and wanted nothing in return. 

Leaning against the truck door, Ellie playfully rolled her eyes. “I’m serious. This is my good deed for the month.”

“Nothing? Nothing at all?” You quizzed, your brow perking curiously.

“Nothing at all. But if you insist…” She went on, looking off as if she was really changing her mind.

“No! No... Thank you.” You blurted.

You cursed yourself at how vulnerably broke you were being, and Ellie smiled wider than she had before. Once you caught onto that smile, your eyes latched on. It was only natural to stare at her teeth, her lips, wondering how they’d feel on yours; if she’d smile between her kisses. 

You quickly snapped out of it before you spiraled any further, but clearly not fast enough. 

“You have a staring problem, y’know?” Ellie stated, slightly tilting her head as she let her eyes travel over your body. A stare for a stare if you would. 

“I wouldn’t say it’s a staring problem.”

“If it’s not staring, what is it?” She asked with her eyes locked onto yours.

“Admiring?”

Ellie was slightly surprised at your sudden boldness, her smile faltered for a millisecond before quickly returning. 

“Hm, I could say the same.”

She basically confirmed she was also checking you out. Meaning, you had a chance. You looked away as you blushed fiercely, and in the corner of your eye you could see Ellie doing the same.

You don’t know when it started, but the vibe between you two became pleasantly tense. Any previous worries and doubts that Ellie might not like you vanished. You clearly had a chance with her, and you planned to see how far your luck would go. She turned away to clear her throat and pushed off the truck. You decided to move away yourself, finding a nice chair to settle yourself on. 

The spot you sat at put Ellie in your direct line of sight. You should probably call your family and tell them you’d be running late, but you were comfortable where you were. Ellie was incredibly captivating; you wouldn’t mind trailing her with your eyes as she did simple tasks like filling up gas for the rest of your life. She was like a really good fucking movie.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Thirty minutes into your imaginary film, you thought the picture quality was getting better, but you discerned it was just Ellie getting closer. 

She rubbed her oiled hands off her shirt as she approached you. “Can you help me with something? I j–“

You sprang up to your feet before she could finish speaking. You didn’t need to hear what she had to say next. It wouldn’t hurt for her to see how interested you were.

Ellie went wide-eyed at your eagerness, shaking her head lightly. 

“You could’ve let me finish talking first.” She said with a subtle, taunting smile.

“I didn’t need to. I’m already getting serviced for free, so I’ll gladly do it.”

“Getting serviced, huh?”

You smiled coyly at Ellie as you recognized the implications of her childish repetition before correcting yourself. “I’m already getting helped.”

Ellie retained her smile as she turned back to the car, gesturing for you to follow her with one of her stained hands. You followed her over to the driver’s side of your truck where she knelt down and shifted an arrangement of tools on the cement floor. 

“I need to fix the wiring underneath your car to fix the fuel gauge. If you could hand the tools to me when I ask for ‘em, that’d be great. Can you do that for me?” Ellie questioned in a honeyed voice. She looked up at you, waiting for your answer; a cruel grin barely tugging at the corner of her lips. 

You only nodded as her stare left you too flustered to speak. You knew the intentions from her tone of voice alone and, boy, did it work. She was teasing you again, but even more obvious than the last. 

She fixed a set of tools on a white cloth, setting the toolbox open and nearby as well. You weren’t stupid, you can tell what almost all the tools were. Driving a car you do; it was only a matter of time before you had to do temporary repairs yourself. However, you realized the opportunity you had laid out in front of you, and you were most definitely gonna take it.

Ellie spoke as she retrieved a tool from the box, glancing at you to make sure you were following. Of course, you made sure to pay attention fully. 

Her gorgeous green eyes laid upon your dreamy lash-filled gaze up and you could read the subtle fluster off her face. “This is a ratchet. I.. I’m sure you know that already though.” Whatever you were doing was working and Ellie’s little stammer was evidence.

You looked at the tool and pushed out your full, bottom lip, slightly shaking your head. “Nope. I do now though. What’s next?” You immediately resumed your gaze at Ellie before you could even finish speaking. 

She grinned and it was clear she didn’t believe you, but the look in her eyes had a mischievous glint in them; so you knew it was definitely safe to continue. 

“Alright, princess. This? —“ She paused to pick up another tool mid-sentence, and the break gave you just enough time to process the panty-soaking pet name. “— Is a screwdriver. The pointy end screws things in.” 

You didn’t bother to look at the tool this time, making sure every inch of your face was telling her you wanted her to screw you in. 

“Uh-huh.” You nod with your eyes glued on Ellie’s.

Ellie laughed lightly with a new tone to it. You couldn’t describe it if asked, but you could describe how it made you feel. It took everything for you not to clench your legs together to relieve your now growing pressure.  

“Are you keepin’ up with me?” She said, teasingly. 

You grazed your teeth along your bottom lip, and you hummed in response. Ellie licked hers like an effect from your cause before she continued to school you on the tools she needed. 

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

You two engaged in the flirty lesson until it eventually ended, and she left to fetch a garage creeper from a tool station nearby. 

Ellie set it at the side of the truck, where the driver would be, and sat down and laid back on it. You were sitting on the floor by the tools now, so you could easily watch her work. She rolled backwards and underneath the car, adjusting herself on the trolley by sending her hips forward so sexily you wondered if she did it on purpose. In that motion her top rode up a bit and since you were so close, you could ogle up her midriff freely. 

“Screwdriver. Enjoying the view?” Ellie suddenly quizzed.

Without a second thought, you handed her the screwdriver only taking a moment longer to register what she said after.

By now, you felt less embarrassed by Ellie catching you staring since she obviously enjoyed it. “The view? The view is nice.” 

“Just nice?”

“The view is really nice. Amazing, even. It’s a nice area, I might even move here.”

Ellie huffed out the faintest chuckle. “Are we talking about the same thing?”

“We are, don’t worry.”

“Feel free to admire all you want then.” You could tell she was smiling as she said that despite barely being able to see her face.

The light banter you guys shared gave you twinkles all over your body. You wondered where this all might lead to. Perhaps nothing at all, or, as you hoped for, her number at least.

Ellie tosses the screwdriver to your side with a low hum before holding her hand out. “Pass me the torque, please?”

You reached into the toolbox, staring dumbly at the items. It seems you might’ve really needed the walk through after all. Along that tutorial you failed to learn what the hell a torque could be. “Let me try to find it...”

You looked through some more, trying to see what method could help you single out this torque. Meanwhile, Ellie rolled from underneath the car and sat on the creeper, rolling forward and towards you. You were so caught up in Ellie’s request, you failed to notice her presence.

 When you finally chose a tool, Ellie’s hand happened to land onto yours. You and Ellie shot each other surprised glances and Ellie eased the tension with a subtle smile. She pulled her hand away, but not fully nor quickly. Not quickly at all. 

In fact, she lingered like she wanted you to remember how her fingertips felt; slowly sliding her digits up the back of your hand. Just like that, everything felt like it was in slowmo. Everything but your heart, which was beating faster by the second. You knew you had to pull yourself together quickly. This moment could potentially make or break something.

“I found it.” You spoke out so lightly it could be mistaken for a whisper, peering your eyes into Ellie’s green pair. You didn’t have any expectations for what would happen next, but you were practically shaking from anticipation.

“Took you long enough. Do we need to go over it again?” Ellie responded just as low as you spoke. The husk and tease around her words made you clench around nothing, embarrassingly so. 

You didn’t let that stop you, however, letting yourself indulge in her teasing for your own guilty pleasure. “Maybe… What’s this again? A hammer?”

Ellie grinned at your faux naïveté, her head cocking to the side. “I know you’re smarter than that.”

“I just need a quick reminder.” You grinned back as you spoke.

“That’s not what you really want though, is it?” Ellie’s smile faded into a less prominent, yet more seductive one. 

You could swear up and down her eyes flickered down to your lips a couple times, so you naturally started leaning towards her. 

What you failed to realize was that Ellie had already started to lean towards you. She dropped off the creeper, decreasing the distance between you two dramatically. She leaned herself against her hands and spread her legs, leaving you kneeled between them. There were no coherent thoughts in your mind, but you finally had an expectation and that was Ellie’s lips on yours. 

Your lips collided and your eyes fluttered shut. You instantly dropped the torque back in the box and stiffened a bit, not sure if this was really happening or not. However, whether it was real or not, you wanted to do a good job. 

The kiss started off slow, testing the waters. Ellie’s smooth, gentle lips made you feel tipsy along with that smell you loved blocking your senses. You were completely intoxicated.

Ellie slid her palm on your hip and gradually roamed the small of your back. The sudden touch shot electricity through your body. She was balancing herself on one hand now, but she attentively stayed on your lips. You couldn’t stop the greed for more rushing through your core even if you wanted to. You placed your hand on the nape of her neck, desperately bringing her in to deepen the kiss. 

You could feel the grin etched into her lips and it only drove you further. She obliged to your wishes and parted your lips against hers with minimal effort, easily intruding the tip of her tongue between. Your tongues slid and ran across each other sensually, and the messiness of it all had you sopping where you knelt. Too lost in the moment, you accidentally let a low moan escape. If Ellie couldn’t tell how needy you were, she could tell now. 

She slowly broke away from your lips, and it left you both panting heavily. Your face, confused, and hers, studying. Did you turn her off? Did you do too much when she was probably expecting something less? You tried to avoid her eyes, too disappointed with yourself to look.

Ellie didn’t let the eye-contact break, following your eyes with a worried expression. “Hey, hey... It’s alright. You’re not in trouble.” Ellie said, letting out a cruel laugh at the end.

You frowned at the teasing this time and your embarrassment was even more evident.

Ellie took your expression in consideration as she leaned in to peck the corner of your lips. The gesture eased your worries, but you were unsure of how this would turn out. She gave you a brief smile before finally saying, “Are you sure you wanna do this?”

You nodded your head slowly and Ellie frowned at it. “I need words.” She said, more sternly than you’d expect. 

She was quick to get a few words out of you. “I… I want this.”

“That’s all I needed to hear.” She replied, leaning in to connect lips with yours again. You didn’t realize how much you missed that contact until you felt chills run through your body. 

You missed her lips on yours despite only kissing for so long. The hand Ellie had placed on your back drifted lower and grasped your ass, earning a moan from you, which Ellie took great pleasure in hearing and feeling. 

By now, your knees were starting to hurt, and it took a lot of restraints not to topple over Ellie. However, you refused to move your lips from hers, you just got them back. 

Unfortunately, Ellie must’ve noticed your stubborn shuffling since she pulled away despite your muffled protests. 

“Let’s move somewhere more comfortable.”

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Ellie cracked open the door for you to a small lounge space and placed a quick apologetic kiss on your lips before walking off. She had noticed her handprint smudged on your shorts on the way to the lounge and it reminded her that she had to wash the car grime off before doing anything more with you. At this point you were so pent up you probably wouldn’t mind. You decided not to dwell on what risks you’re willing to take to fuck Ellie and sat yourself on a brown couch that felt a lot comfier than it looked. The vibe of the room was similar to Ellie’s car minus the smell of weed. Speaking of smells, it smelled just like her. 

Thoughts of Ellie panting and briefly taking your lips between her teeth flashed through your mind. The vividness, considering it just happened, made the heat between your legs increase. You instinctively pressed your thighs together and fought the urge to take care of yourself right there and then. 

Thankfully, Ellie strolled into the lounge and shut the door behind her, and it finished with a lock click. Your eyes met as she strolled towards you, plopping on the couch next to you.

Ellie opened her mouth to say something, but you didn’t want to hear it. Not right now. You cupped her face and pressed your lips into hers and you shut her up instantly. She leaned over you, pressing you back into the couch. Amidst the smacking and passion of your mouths against each other’s, Ellie’s hand drifted up your waist; thumbing along your skin. Everything was so hot and cloudy now; you couldn’t think about anything other than how good you feel. 

At some point, Ellie’s leg was kneeled, and her thigh was wedged between your legs. You only became aware of the new positioning after accidentally pressing yourself against her. You were laid down on the couch, completely dazed with Ellie hovering over you. She noticed you coming back to reality and grinned smugly as she moved her hand underneath your top and groped at your breast. You arched into her touch, keening, and Ellie rewarded the sound by rubbing her thigh against your clothed clit. 

You gasped sharply and the brief friction had you bucking for more. Your barely audible pleas must’ve triggered something in Ellie as she bent down to kiss you, taking your lips between her teeth. The feeling is even better than you remembered.

The intensity of the kiss is wet, hot, and you can’t remember when you last took a breath. You placed your arms over Ellie’s shoulders and lightly ran your fingertips along her back, rolling your hips into Ellie’s thigh. You were so close, so close until.. you suddenly lost contact. Ellie moved her right hand to your hip, gently pinning you down so you couldn’t move as she placed her thigh out of reach. 

She has pulled away from you too often and you weren’t going to back down quietly this time. You broke off from her kiss-swollen lips, rather reluctantly, and begged. “Ellie! Please… just—” 

Ellie shushed you and whispered directly into your ear, her breath hitting your cheek and sending shivers down your spine. “I’m gonna fuck you myself. Be patient.” 

You weren’t gonna argue. You wanted that. You wanted her. Ellie moved her hand from your hips and went to loosen the button of your shorts. She moved her legs so that yours were fully between hers. You unwrapped your arms from her shoulders and helped her tug your shorts down urgently, lifting your hips to speed the process. 

Ellie positioned herself so she could tuck your knees in. She parted your legs and leaned back, taking a moment to appreciate how wet you were for her; your slick heat coating your underwear, glistening, all for her to see. It would’ve embarrassed you in any other instance, but you were so filled with lust, none of it mattered. 

She pressed her thumb against your clit, through your undoubtedly soaked panties and peered down at your face: brows furrowed and brimming with want. Ellie wasn’t gonna make you wait any longer. She moved the fabric out of the way and finally rubbed your bare clit with the pad of her thumb. You panted heavily, moving into her touch. 

Ellie leaned towards you, turning her wrist clockwise and dipping her fingers between your folds, rubbing your labia between her middle and ring digits. You groaned out and quickly pulled up your top and tugged your bra underneath your tits so you could grasp at the sensitive area. 

Your wetness coated Ellie’s fingers perfectly and it was only a matter of time before she fucked you with them senselessly. She coaxed your clit between her fingers, and although you were too wet for much friction, the pressure was just enough to get you there. 

You fondled and squeezed at your chest, pinching at your nipples as your eyes clenched shut; concentrating on that release you needed so badly. Ellie was practically salivating at the sight, still hunched over you and getting off from the look of you alone. 

Your much anticipated orgasm rolled through you, crashing in like a wave. You moaned loudly, arching your back and rolling your hips forward.

 Ellie slowed down and helped you ride out your orgasm before suddenly slipping both fingers into your entrance. The sudden intrusion made you whine, and Ellie dipped down and pressed a kiss on your cheek. Your eyes were brimming with tears, but you needed her to move. You needed her to fuck you badly. 

You squirmed under Ellie and she placed her free hand on the cheek she kissed, thumbing along it as she cooed at you teasingly. “Shhh.. You’re gonna ruin the makeup you fixed just for me.”

Ellie’s thumb creeped towards your swollen and gloss-less bottom lip, the aftermath of rough, sloppy kissing. You mouthed out a ‘whoops’ and faked a pout. 

Ellie laughed as she gazed down at you. The sight of her flushed red, freckled cheeks smiling down at you only made you want her more. Ellie felt your need squeeze against her fingers, and she made sure that you knew she knew by glancing down at her fingers filling your cunt. She bit her bottom lip and decided to give you what you wanted, slowly pumping her fingers in you. 

You keened colorfully, raising your tucked knees and wrapping your legs around Ellie’s waist. You needed her deep. She picked up her pace and curled her fingers, hitting that soft wall. She was doing everything right, there was no doubt in your mind she was an angel, a sexually experienced one at that. You pulled her down, meeting her halfway so you crash your lips into hers. 

Ellie moaned over your lips and, god, you were so close. She slid a third finger in you, pumping and curling her fingers; knuckles deep. You were so close you were seeing stars, it made you think back on the little conversation you two had in the car and you wondered if this is what she meant. Then just like that they fucking connected. 

You cried out as you came, tightening your legs around Ellie’s waist as you gushed over her fingers. She kept her fingers in you until you finished. Once Ellie pulled out, you groaned from the loss and she muttered out an apology.

You gave her one lingering kiss before plopping back down. You were utterly exhausted and aching. Aching... pleasantly, but that wasn’t the point. Your mind slowly started recollecting everything that happened. You were just fucked by a hot stranger you met in a town you still don’t know the name of.  You’re not sure you would’ve remembered after this anyways. 

“Usually I would help clean up, but...” Ellie gestured around her. You almost forgot you guys were at the back of a mechanic’s garage. 

You snickered and nodded understandingly. “Right. I know.”

You two stared at each other awkwardly despite what occurred not even five minutes ago. Ellie ruffled with her hair before speaking out, “So… Can I take you out sometime? When your trip is over?”

You pushed up so you were at eye-level with her. “I... I think we’re past that, but yes. Yes, you can.” You leaned in for a kiss and she returned it with a grin.

Best Underrated Anime Group A Round 4: Do It Yourself!! vs RIN-NE

#A2: Do It Yourself!!

Girls do DIY together, but after a new industrial revolution

#A3: RIN-NE (Kyoukai no Rinne)

Girl who sees ghosts meets poor shinigami. Comedy ensues.

Details and poll under the cut!

#A2: Do it Yourself!!

Summary:

This series takes place after the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Serufu and her childhood friend Miku/“Purin” both applied to an elite school, where advanced technologies are incorporated into the curriculum. The tech-savvy Purin is accepted into the school, but accident-prone Serufu is rejected and enters a traditional school instead, driving a wedge into their friendship.

On her way to class one day, Serufu encounters Rei, who has a passion for old-fashioned crafts and is the head of the school’s Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Club—which is in danger of closing due to a lack of members. Realizing that this may be her chance to repair her relationship with Purin, Serufu joins the club in hopes of creating projects that could bring them together once more.

Propaganda:

It’s just a really feel-good series with some great characters. I adore all of them and their dynamics with each other, especially the main dynamic between Serufu and Purin as it develops. I’m a really big fan of the show’s angle on stuff such as do-it-yourself crafts following another industrial revolution, just because it does frequently bring up the question of “What’s the point of DIY if in a year or two/maybe even now a robot could recreate the exact same result?” through characters like Purin (who is the major character with the lowest opinion on these kinds of crafts at the start, since she’s in the technologically advanced school and has beliefs more in line with the efficacy of technology rather than the joy of human creation), with the short answer largely being because it’s just fun!

I first watched this show before I saw a lot of AI stuff intruding upon art and rewatching it after sure was fun, because I love its ideas on the worth of doing stuff that machinery could do much faster. It’s not super complex or emotional, but that largely goes in its favor, because it really doesn’t need to be those. It’s just a fun little anime about a bunch of girls having fun together through one shared hobby that some of them had from the start and some of them adopted. I also love the opening, and the ending is a massive comfort song for me. The series can also be very funny at points, and is usually super heartwarming.

Trigger Warnings: None.

#A3: RIN-NE (Kyoukai no Rinne)

Summary:

Rinne Rokudou has bigger problems than going to school—namely, helping spirits pass over to the next life. Because of this responsibility, he often finds himself short on money and struggles to buy his necessities: food, clothes, and exorcism tools.

Sakura Mamiya has been able to see ghosts since she was little. She hoped she would outgrow it, but even after starting high school, nothing has changed. To make matters worse, the first time her ever-absent classmate, Rinne, shows up for school, only Sakura can see him. She assumes, as anyone would, that he is a ghost. However, to Sakura's surprise, Rinne proceeds to attend school like normal the next day.

Propaganda:

This is one of Rumiko Takahashi’s underrated works (mostly getting overshadowed by Inuyasha due to her releasing this series after the fact), and I don’t see a lot of people talk about it often. While it’s not my favorite of her works, it’s one that I still like because of the way she portrays the characters. Plus, it still has that classic Rumic comedy and feel to it and I really love the animation with her artstyle. Anyways, if you like supernatural comedies (with a hint of romance) then vote for Rin-ne!

Trigger Warnings: None.

Hey Fran! I know it comes as no surprise to see me in your asks for Woof boy on your prompt list.

“Right now, I don’t know if I want to kiss you or shove you off a bridge.” “Can I pick?”

Smut, fluff, both...anything to take my mind off the fact that my dog died yesterday, please. 😭

Oh god, I'm so sorry. I’m devastated for you. You have my condolences. I hope this will help keep your mind off of things at least for a small while.

Edit: added AO3 link

“Right now, I don’t know if I want to kiss you or shove you off a bridge.” “Can I pick?”

Your heart is pounding in your ears as you slide down the tree you were hiding behind. With your head between your legs you focus on your breathing. In and out. In and out. You manage to calm yourself down; your breathing slows and so does your heart. 

Without the soft rustling of leaves there would only be silence. 

Don't make a noise. Just be quiet. 

Very faintly you hear someone or something approaching. On high alert you try to locate the direction the sound is coming from but you don't have much time as the footsteps are coming closer quickly. 

Should you try and hide or make a run for it? If whatever is coming your way is faster than you and better at navigating nature then running may not be the best idea. 

But if you hide that something or someone may still hear you, smell you. 

Before you can make your final decision you're being dragged from your hiding spot and pinned to the mossy forest floor. 

With a yelp you try to push whoever has you in their clutches off of you but your hands do nothing to the firm chest they are pressing against. Your eyes focus on the man above you, his sheepish smile making your heart pound for an entirely different reason this time. 

"Caught you, mi vida."

Jack looks down at you, his hands pressed into the earth on each side of your head, a playful twinkle in his eyes as they roam over your helpless body. 

The shock of being manhandled so suddenly finally wears off and you hit his chest weakly with your first. 

"Jack! You scared me!", you tell him half-angrily, "Right now, I don’t know if I want to kiss you or shove you off a bridge!" 

You can feel your cheeks heat up when he chuckles in response. Jack is taking in your scent in slow, eager breaths before he leans down. He rubs his nose against yours gently and looks deep into your eyes. There could be millions of onlookers and you wouldn't care. At this moment you and Jack were the only people in the world. 

"Can I pick?", he whispers against your lips, "I did catch you after all. I won. Don't I get a prize, mi amor?" 

You smile back at him and nod your head. You grab his neck gently and pull him into a deep kiss. 

You don't care that you had to run through a forest for what felt like hours. You don't care that your clothes are dirty and you can definitely feel a twig poking your side. You don't care Jack scared you so much your heart skipped a beat. 

If agreeing to being hunted through the woods by Jack always results in your boyfriend kissing you like he both wants to devour you and like you hung the moon? 

You'll do this every day for the rest of your life.

[random-thought-depository]

@hedoughnism, I was going to respond to your tags here by making a post about how I think bonobo-like human culture might have something going on that's a bit like that but specifically gynephilic and focused more on the Jennifer Atemile kind of fatness than the obesity kind of fatness, but when I tried to type it up I ended up wandering into a long tangent about how bonobo-like human reproductive patterns are a lot more BOFFFish than ours because that's important context for what I wanted to say, so I'll just type up that tangent separately here (hope the rest of y'all enjoy this worldbuilding post too!).

Bonobo-like human self-domestication happened in a way that shifted social advantage to older women. Bonobo-like humans got a functional equivalent of modern birth control in the Stone Age. Put a shift of social power to older women and the invention of pretty reliable birth control together, and a common result was the formation of female reproductive hierarchies where the fertility of younger women was behaviorally suppressed and the time and energy of younger women was diverted toward caring for the children of older women. This means bonobo-like humans got a lot more selection pressure for late menopause and slow female fertility decline than we did.

The last common ancestor of bonobo-like humans and Homo sapiens might have still had a chimp-like life cycle of dying of old age at around 50 and hitting menopause at around the same time. The ancestors of bonobo-like humans may still have had a roughly chimp-like life cycle when they got their watershed divergence of getting a rough functional equivalent of modern birth control way before we did. Homo sapiens kept an approximately chimp-like age of menopause but added another thirty years or so of lifespan. Bonobo-like humans added another thirty years or so of lifespan like we did, but got much stronger selection for proportionately later age of menopause and slower female fertility decline. In a sense this means bonobo-like humans evolved more conservatively than us, keeping something closer to the ancestral ape pattern of menopause only happening in very old age.

Normal age of menopause for modern bonobo-like human women is in their late sixties. Instead of a grandmother hypothesis, they had an old mom hypothesis that what was selected for was staying alive and healthy-ish for 10-20 years after a woman's oldest plausible age of reproduction to give her time to raise her last child to something approximating self-sufficiency (bonobo-like human children basically mature faster than Homo sapiens children, though they reach puberty later chronologically and much later relative to the rest of their development, and bonobo-like humans tend to form big cooperative child-care groups and do lots of alloparenting; the risk of orphaning associated with old mothers may have been a selection pressure for that).

As I said, bonobo-like humans tend to form age-mediated female reproductive hierarchies where the fertility of younger women is behaviorally suppressed and younger women assist in caring for the children of older women. So almost a symmetrical inverse of the grandmother hypothesis, but with behavioral fertility suppression instead of biological fertility suppression. Instead of our pattern of post-reproductive grandmothers helping care for the children of younger women, they have a pattern where 15-40 year old oldest daughters, nieces, younger female housemates, etc. delay their own reproduction and help care for the children of their middle-aged and older mothers, aunts, older female housemates, etc.. Average age of first pregnancy for bonobo-like human women is older than 40.

The cultural/intellectual/ideological side of how these reproductive hierarchies work is the bonobo-like human notion of motherhood stresses the mother's responsibility for socialization and intellectual and moral education of her children, so they tend to think of course it's usually best for mothering to be done by somebody who's at least middle-aged and has the life experience, knowledge, and emotional intelligence that comes with that. Younger bonobo-like human women tend to agree with this and see their assistive role in child-care as a valuable apprenticeship for being moms themselves when they're old enough.

Socially, males fit into this arrangement in about the same place as younger women, as assistive caregivers for the children of their middle-aged and older sisters, aunts, older female housemates, etc.. Younger bonobo-like human males don't experience the behavioral fertility suppression their female peers do, it's more-or-less a toss-up whether a bonobo-like human woman looking to get pregnant will choose older or younger potential gene donors, but biological fatherhood isn't very socially significant in bonobo-like human society.

How does technical SEO help to get ranking?

Technical SEO plays a crucial role in helping websites achieve higher rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs). While content quality and backlinks are important ranking factors, technical SEO ensures that search engines can effectively crawl, index, and understand your website's content. Here's how technical SEO helps to get rankings:

Crawlability: Search engines use web crawlers (or bots) to navigate and index web pages across the internet. Technical SEO ensures that your website's structure, navigation, and internal linking are optimized for easy crawling by search engine bots. By eliminating crawl errors, improving site speed, and creating XML sitemaps, you make it easier for search engines to discover and index your content.

Indexability: Once a search engine bot crawls your website, it needs to understand the content and context of each page to index it properly. Technical SEO ensures that your website's pages are properly structured and optimized with relevant meta tags, headings, and schema markup. This helps search engines understand the purpose and relevance of each page, improving its chances of ranking for relevant keywords.

Mobile-Friendliness: With the increasing use of mobile devices for internet browsing, mobile-friendliness has become a crucial ranking factor. Technical SEO involves optimizing your website for mobile devices by using responsive design, optimizing page load times, and ensuring that mobile users have a seamless browsing experience. Mobile-friendly websites are more likely to rank higher in mobile search results.

Site Speed: Page speed is another important ranking factor, as it directly impacts user experience and engagement. Technical SEO involves optimizing your website's performance by minimizing server response times, optimizing images and media files, and leveraging browser caching. Faster-loading websites are favored by search engines and are more likely to rank higher in search results.

Security (HTTPS): Google considers website security as a ranking factor, with HTTPS being the preferred protocol for secure communication over the internet. Technical SEO involves migrating your website to HTTPS by installing an SSL certificate, which encrypts data transmitted between the user's browser and your website's server. Secure websites are given preference in search rankings.

Structured Data Markup: Implementing structured data markup (such as Schema.org - Schema.org) helps search engines understand the content and context of your website's pages. Technical SEO involves adding structured data markup to your website's HTML code to provide additional information about your content, such as product details, reviews, recipes, events, and more. Rich snippets generated from structured data can enhance your search listings and improve click-through rates.

Canonicalization: Technical SEO ensures that duplicate content issues are addressed through canonicalization. Canonical tags inform search engines about the preferred version of a page when multiple versions exist (e.g., HTTP vs. HTTPS, www vs. non-www). By consolidating duplicate content signals, canonicalization helps prevent dilution of search engine rankings and improves website authority.

In summary, technical SEO lays the foundation for a well-optimized website that is accessible, understandable, and favorable to search engines. By addressing technical issues and implementing best practices, you improve your website's chances of ranking higher in search results and attracting more organic traffic.DO Studio : Best Marketing Agency In CalicutDo Studio is the Best Marketing agency in Calicut.

The Benefits of Using WordPress for E-commerce 💸

E-commerce is booming, especially after the pandemic that accelerated the shift to online shopping. According to Statista, global e-commerce sales were $5.2 trillion in 2021, and it is expected to reach $8.1 trillion by 2026.

If you want to tap into this huge market and sell your products or services online, you need a reliable and robust e-commerce platform that can handle your business needs and goals. But with so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your online store? 🤔

In this article, I will share with you why WordPress is one of the best e-commerce platforms you can use to create and grow your online store. WordPress is not only the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world, powering over 40% of all websites on the internet, but also a powerful and flexible e-commerce solution that offers many benefits for online sellers.

Here are some of the benefits of using WordPress for e-commerce:

1. WordPress is free and easy to use

One of the main advantages of WordPress is that it is free and open source, which means you don’t have to pay any license fees or royalties to use it. You can download it from WordPress.org and install it on your own web hosting account in minutes.

WordPress is also very easy to use and set up, even if you are not a tech-savvy person. You can create and manage your online store with a simple and intuitive interface that lets you add products, categories, images, descriptions, prices, etc. without any coding skills.

You can also customize your online store with thousands of themes and plugins that add functionality and features to your website. You can find themes and plugins for any niche or industry, from fashion to food, from photography to fitness, from books to beauty, etc.

2. WordPress is SEO friendly

Another benefit of WordPress is that it is SEO friendly, which means it helps your website rank higher on search engines like Google or Bing. This can help you increase your organic traffic and conversions, as more people will find your online store when they search for products or services related to your niche.

WordPress has many built-in features that make it SEO friendly, such as:

Permalinks: WordPress lets you create SEO-friendly URLs for your pages and posts that include keywords and are easy to read by humans and search engines.

Title tags and meta descriptions: WordPress lets you add title tags and meta descriptions to your pages and posts that tell search engines what your content is about and entice users to click on your links.

XML sitemaps: WordPress automatically generates XML sitemaps that list all your pages and posts and submit them to search engines so they can index them faster and more accurately.

Mobile responsiveness: WordPress themes are designed to be responsive, which means they adapt to different screen sizes and devices, such as smartphones or tablets. This improves the user experience and the SEO performance of your website, as mobile-friendliness is a ranking factor for Google.

You can also use plugins like Yoast SEO or All in One SEO to optimize your website further for SEO by adding features like:

Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs are navigation links that show users where they are on your website and help them navigate back to previous pages. They also help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your website.

Schema markup: Schema markup is code that adds structured data to your website that tells search engines more information about your content, such as product reviews, ratings, prices, availability, etc. This can help you get rich snippets on search results that attract more clicks and conversions.

Social media integration: Social media integration lets you connect your website with your social media profiles and pages, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. This can help you increase your social media presence and traffic, as well as improve your SEO performance by getting social signals that indicate the popularity and relevance of your content.

3. WordPress is scalable and secure

WordPress is also a scalable and secure platform that can handle any size or type of online store. Whether you have a few products or thousands of products, whether you have a few visitors or millions of visitors, WordPress can handle it without compromising the speed or performance of your website.

WordPress is scalable because it can work with any web hosting provider or plan that suits your budget and needs. You can start with a shared hosting plan that is cheap and easy to set up, and then upgrade to a VPS, dedicated, or cloud hosting plan that offers more resources and features as your online store grows.

WordPress is also secure because it has a strong and active community of developers and users that constantly update and improve the core software, themes, and plugins. You can also use plugins like Sucuri or Wordfence to add extra layers of security to your website, such as:

Firewall: A firewall is a system that monitors and blocks malicious traffic and requests that try to access your website and cause harm, such as hacking, spamming, or injecting malware.

Malware scanning: Malware scanning is a process that scans your website files and database for any signs of infection or corruption by malware, such as viruses, trojans, worms, etc.

Backup and restore: Backup and restore is a feature that lets you create and store copies of your website files and database in a safe location, such as a cloud service or an external drive. This can help you recover your website in case of any disaster or emergency.

4. WordPress is flexible and versatile

WordPress is also a flexible and versatile platform that lets you create any kind of online store you want. You can sell any type of product or service, such as:

Physical products: Physical products are tangible items that you ship to your customers, such as clothing, jewelry, books, etc.

Digital products: Digital products are intangible items that you deliver to your customers electronically, such as ebooks, music, software, etc.

Services: Services are activities or tasks that you perform for your customers, such as consulting, coaching, designing, etc.

You can also use WordPress to create different types of online stores, such as:

Dropshipping: Dropshipping is a business model where you sell products from third-party suppliers without having to handle inventory, fulfillment, or shipping. You can use plugins like AliDropship or WooDropship to connect your WordPress website with suppliers like AliExpress or Amazon and automate the dropshipping process.

Subscription: Subscription is a business model where you sell products or services on a recurring basis, such as monthly or yearly. You can use plugins like WooCommerce Subscriptions or MemberPress to create and manage subscription plans and payments on your WordPress website.

Marketplace: Marketplace is a business model where you allow other sellers to sell their products or services on your website and earn a commission from each sale. You can use plugins like Dokan or WC Vendors to turn your WordPress website into a multi-vendor marketplace like Etsy or eBay.

5. WordPress is compatible and integrable

WordPress is also a compatible and integrable platform that lets you connect your online store with other tools and platforms that can help you grow your business. You can use plugins or APIs to integrate your WordPress website with:

Payment gateways: Payment gateways are services that process online payments from your customers using different methods, such as credit cards, PayPal, Stripe, etc. You can use plugins like WooCommerce Payments or WPForms to accept payments on your WordPress website.

Shipping providers: Shipping providers are services that handle the delivery of your physical products to your customers using different carriers, such as USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. You can use plugins like WooCommerce Shipping or Easyship to calculate shipping rates and print shipping labels on your WordPress website.

Marketing tools: Marketing tools are services that help you promote your online store and reach more customers using different channels, such as email marketing, social media marketing, content marketing, etc. You can use plugins like Mailchimp or HubSpot to connect your WordPress website with marketing tools and automate your marketing campaigns.

Analytics tools: Analytics tools are services that help you measure and analyze your online store performance and customer behavior using different metrics, such as traffic sources, conversion rates, bounce rates, etc. You can use plugins like Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights or WooCommerce Google Analytics Integration to connect your WordPress website with analytics tools and track your e-commerce data.

Conclusion

WordPress is a great platform for e-commerce, as it offers many benefits for online sellers, such as:

Free and easy to use

SEO friendly

Scalable and secure

Flexible and versatile

Compatible and integrable

With WordPress, you can create and grow your online store with minimal cost and hassle, and enjoy the freedom and control over your e-commerce business.

If you are interested in creating your own e-commerce website with WordPress, you can start by choosing a reliable and affordable web hosting provider like Bluehost, which offers a free domain name, a free SSL certificate, and a one-click WordPress installation.

Then, you can choose a beautiful and customizable theme for your online store, such as Astra, Divi, or OceanWP.

Next, you can add e-commerce functionality to your website with plugins like WooCommerce, which is the most popular and powerful e-commerce plugin for WordPress.

Finally, you can add some extra features and functionality to your website with plugins like Yoast SEO, Social Snap, Contact Form 7, WP Rocket, WooCommerce Subscriptions, etc.

ೃ⁀➷ 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠

ೃ⁀➷ Asks

Asks are always open. You can talk and interact with them at any time, even if it is just random questions or telling them about something in your life.

Ask games are reblogged to the admin account to keep tagging at a minimum but asks from the games can be sent to the accounts or to the admin account for the character to answer.

ೃ⁀➷ Dash

Reblogs are on a queue and done twice a week. There may be times where a reblog is done immediately but this is circumstance dependent. Update (31.08.24): Reblogs are done once a week or at earliest convenience. They are mostly responded to as if they were replied to 'on time'.

Dash interactions rarely will use *actions* unless needed.

Interacting on dash is important for development, regardless of interest or friendship.

RP on dash is rare and dependent on the situation.

Anything older than two months, unless it is super important, will not be reblogged to keep from overwhelming myself.

If I cannot respond to a post for any reason, I will support reblog. This usually applies to posts with too many people/people I haven't spoken to or plot/profile posts.

Dry reblogs or reblogs that have practically ended will not be reblogged.

ೃ⁀➷ DMs

Update: 15.12.23 — As of now, DMs may take a little longer to get to due to an extremely busy life. Dash will be faster but I will try to get a reply out ASAP. After March, I am hoping to be more responsive with DMs so please bear with me Update (31.08.24): DMs are done in rounds to focus on 4-5 a day. There are no set days and I will not warn when I am replying. You can reply whenever you want, if we are around at the same time, we will be able to get through things faster but there's no pressure to reply immediately.

DMs are worked on when I have time. I will not respond constantly/every day but I am aiming to have 2-3 responses at a time depending on my days.

DMs are important for development due to being able to give more context/insight that cannot happen on dash and helps the growth from interest to dating.

Dry replies or replies that make it seem like I am carrying the chat will be given a warning. You do not need to write novels but please, put in some effort and make it engaging rather than giving one sentence/two lines thinking it might get a quicker reply.

Quick-fire DMs are more for dynamic building and friendships. These are to help make posts and work on things. They are typically one scene and are short so I can get through them. Update (31.08.24): I am open to headcanons/random quick back and forths for development but please be aware that what you may suggest might not be how my character will respond. These are great for small developments but I will not build an entire relationship around this.

ೃ⁀➷ Tags

Tags are changed every month, new bots are added and anyone who has deactivated or is inactive is removed.

Mutual engagement is expected. If you tag me and I interact, I expect the same when I tag you. Failure to do so will result in removal and I will not interact with you unless you, for some reason, decide to interact with me.

Interacting is important, that's why we make posts and tag people.

If you want to be removed from one or more of my bots, send me a message. There is no hard feelings!

ೃ⁀➷ Relationships

Relationships and friendships take time to build, do not assume to know someone right away. Some characters might vibe with it and others may be offended.

Relationships do need time and effort put in. You can't just ask someone out and then ignore them.

If a relationship is ignored, interest starts to wane.

Ending a connection isn't the end of the world, please just communicate with me.

For myself, the best way to develop interest and relationships is through asks, DMs, dash and admin conversations. It can take a while to get through scenes, it can take a while to get anywhere with life being busy and so I do like to converse with my fellow admins to fill in blanks that can happen along the way and make things canon and develop. This also helps both parties be on the same page. If there is none of this, my characters might not be as… developed with their feelings since the lack of development has hindered growth.

Day 132

December 12, 2022

Back to writing inspection reports; we’re a fair bit behind due to the two site inspections at the end of last week. We got feedback that our first site inspection reports looked good, so the upcoming ones should go faster.

We had a meeting with the rest of the environmental historic preservation (EHP) staff where our project point of contact gave us some tips for using ArcGIS and Grants Manager. On the FEMA ArcGIS map, one can mark the inspection sites they visited and tag it with the relevant information (date, work order and damage inventory number, site photos, etc), and ArcGIS will automatically find the link to the site information on Grants Manager. The hope is that developers and others looking at the map will more easily be able to access and use information about past damages and hazard mitigation.

We were told that FEMA’s Grant Manager had an update years ago that added an “EHP Report” section with questions about consultations that may be needed. This sounds like a good idea; however, the answers were originally required before the scope of work was established and would not have provided useful information as a result. When the update originally rolled out, it prevented any project from moving forward until the questions were answered, and only EHP staff and a few others were allowed to answer them. This brought the process to a standstill, as perhaps only a dozen staff had to answer the questions for thousands of damage inventories before they could be moved forward. And the EHP staff who would have originally been doing actual work were instead delegated to click answer choices for days at a time. Bureaucracy at its finest.

Eventually the types of people who were allowed to answer were expanded and – even later – the requirement to complete the EHP Report dropped altogether, but the process still causes annoyances. We were told to answer “No” on everything in the EHP Report because the EHP people rarely review the report due to the unreliability of the responses, and selecting “Yes” gives you a bunch more questions to fill out. Right now the only reason to complete the EHP Report questionnaire is to get the notification to go away. Completing it otherwise contributes little of value.

We returned to working on EHP site inspection reports after the staff meeting. I completed all four site visits for the day we went to Naranjito. I also requested Grants Manager access by emailing a request form, as requesting through the site itself had gotten me nowhere after over a week of waiting. I was granted access within the hour.

I immediately took a nap once we got back to the hotel. It was time to get ready for dinner not long after I woke up. One of our teammates was going to grill outside, but the hotel requires 24 hours advance notice to borrow the equipment, so that didn’t work out. He cooked inside instead, and the entire room filled with smoke. We opened the door, fanned out the smoke, and covered the smoke alarm so it wouldn’t go off… which worked, though the entire hallway on our floor was smoky by the end of it.

Some guy from another room came by to ask us what we were doing. We showed him the cooking, and he seemed amused. Then he asked where we were from/who we were with, and we we said we were working with FEMA. He said he was with LUMA Energy and then asked us a few questions, including things we were not allowed to answer (“so who did you vote for?”). We offered him food, but he declined and eventually left. We shut the door afterward so he wouldn’t wander back in. What a strange interaction.
