STOP I HAD YELAN IN MIND WHEN WRITING THE CHILL COURTESAN V. TRAINWRECK NAVIA LMAO. I didn’t wanna ruin the vibe with the wrong character though so I just did “Chill courtesan”

Who would be calm in order of nation:

Lisa, Rosaria, Beidou, Yelan, Hu Tao is rapping in the lobby of the ER, Shenhe is calm but if something happened to you or the baby just know the whole hospital will be ground 0 in .5 seconds, Ningguang, Shogun is the same as Shenhe. Will restrain, but will fuck shit up if something happens to you or the child. Dehya’s mostly calm if not jittery, subtle enough it’s mistakable for being hopped on caffeine. Candace trusts the nurses/doctors, Chevruse.

Who would not be calm: Shaking like a damn leaf; Sucrose, Noelle, Xinyan,Ganyu, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Kirara, Navia

Is sort of calm but needs isolation, will elbow you in the throat if you scare them: Eula, Mona, Rosaria, Keqing, Chevruse, CHIORI

It’s 1:11 am for me I’m tired I’d finish this but I literally am half asleep 🥲..

Can I be 🪼 anon?

Side note: I don’t write for Noelle, Xinyan or Kirara because their ages are ambiguous/I see them as minors. If you want to see the list of female characters I don’t write for, you can check the rules page and scroll all the way down to the bottom!

Anyways, this list is pretty accurate LMAO. I love how both of my favorite genshin women (Navia and Ganyu) are just absolutely shaking like leaves while the Empress is in labor. Courtesan Shenhe however, I feel would be very calm, yet very be panicky at the same time. Shes composed on the surface, but Shenhe is like…grabbing everything she could hold in her arms to the delivery room because “what if my Empress needs them? 🥺”

Also Shenhe: *brings a whole PlayStation console for the Empress*

I just feel like Courtesans Shenhe, Beidou, and Dehya would bring the most unnecessary stuff for the Empress in case she needs anything. Also, kinda hilarious how Eula or Chiori appear calm on the surface, but if you accidentally startle them during labor, they will punch someone.

I imagine that the first time the Empress screams, Eula, Chiori, Rosaria, etc. believe they are being attacked so they just punch the closest person to them (who just so happens to be a poor courtesan standing around) and it’s chaotic af

Yeah…the Empress’ deliveries are always chaotic thanks to all her courtesans’ shenanigans 😅

Some things, Samus got from the Chozo. But some things were there from the start. I'm just picturing the moment she learned to walk, Rodney and Virginia had one hell of a time keeping an eye on her to keep her from getting into places she shouldn't, especially since she could be surprisingly adept at finding small spaces to squeeze through. Probably a big climber too. By the time of the attack, she knew most of the forest near the K2L colony like the back of her hand, and had begun taking some early unauthorized expeditions into the foothills and gulleys beyond. She also remained thoroughly unrepentant on returning from going missing for several hours at a time, and her parents were deeply torn between not wanting to suppress a clear wanderer's spirit, and natural worry for their daughter getting hurt out in the wilderness where they couldn't find her. Unfortunately, they never got the chance to find a good compromise.

I have so many mb ideas i can’t wait to post them

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

Bitches will be like “my ship just got confirmed” and then show you a single low-res frame of ambiguous origin where the characters walk out of a room together. It’s me. I am bitches.

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.
