2025: #10 take care of your mind
your brain is the most powerful tool you will ever own. YOUR BRAIN IS MORE POWERFUL THAN UR PHONE, LAPTOP ... . Yet how many of us actually take care of it? How many of us think twice about what we feed it, how we use it, or how we let it rest? u donât rise to the level of your dreams you fall to the level of your mind. And if your mind isnât sharp, disciplined, and protected, youâre setting yourself up for failure.
âïž..Youâre probably wondering: âWhat does it mean to take care of my brain?â Itâs simple but not easy. First, letâs talk about what youâre consuming EEEEVRY single thing you watch, listen to or read is planting seeds in your mind. Are you planting weeds or flowers? Scroll endlessly on social media, filling your brain with nonsense, comparison, and negativityâguess what? Youâre planting weeds, and they will grow. Your thoughts become your beliefs, and your beliefs become your actions.
THE TRUTH IS you are what you allow into your mind. If you keep surrounding yourself with negativity, if you keep replaying the same self-doubt, if you keep absorbing content that doesnât serve you donât be surprised when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious. Youâre not broken youâre just fueling yourself with the wrong things.
"So, what do you do?"
1. Detox your mind. Cut out the noise. Start filtering what you consume. Unfollow accounts that drain your energy. Stop watching content that makes you feel small. And for the love of everything pookie stop engaging in dramaâitâs not worth the space it takes up in your head.
2. Feed your brain the right fuel. Read books that challenge you. Listen to podcasts that inspire you. Surround yourself with people who uplift you. And no, this isnât just some feel-good advice itâs about wiring ur brain for growth. The more you surround yourself with knowledge, positivity, and action-oriented energy, the more your brain starts working for you instead of against you.
3. Train your focus. Your brain is a muscle. If you donât train it, it gets lazy. Meditation isnât just for monks itâs for anyone who wants to build laser-like focus. Start smallâtwo minutes a day. Sit down, breathe, and let your mind rest. Because a rested brain is a powerful brain.
4. Protect your energy it mean itâs about who you let into your space. People can either fuel your fire or extinguish it. If someone in your life constantly drags you down, you need to set boundaries. Your mental energy is sacred. Guard it fiercely.
đȘ§-FACT BOX !
ăWhen you kick unhealthy habits to the curb, your brain actually starts to thrive! Imagine cutting out constant stress itâs like a weight lifted off your mind, lowering cortisol levels and giving your memory and learning a boost. Eating betteeeeer and healthier cuz those omega-3s and antioxidants help reduce brain fog while also cranking up serotonin and dopamine, the feel-good chemicals that keep you motivated and happy. Regular exercise is like a power-up for your brain, releasing endorphins and encouraging the growth of new neurons. Itâs like giving your mind a fresh start every day (try to wake up early and do any type of exercise and u will see how well ur day will roll) Sleep is another secret weaponâby getting enough (6-7 or even 8 )youâre helping your brain detox and organize memories, keeping everything sharp. And letâs not forget about avoiding things like alcohol and drugsâthis keeps your brainâs reward system in check and prevents it from burning out or killing you lmaooo .. All these changes together supercharge your brain, boosting focus, creativity, and mental strength. Your brain will thank you!ă

I really want to see this idea turn into a big beautiful work but writing it myself scares me. So i just give it to the world and will be hoping someone can write it.
It's the 31st of December and an hour before the new year. Tommy is inside of the burning building watching into the eyes of the man he left two months ago while the floor under them is collapsing. And minutes later he's trapped under the tons of concrete with the love of his life without any chance of being saved.
They both are conscious and they both understand they're gonna die in here. But they have a little amount of time to talk. Evan asks him why he left and Tommy tells him about his fears, insecurities. Evan tells him he is an idiot and they should have talked about it earlier. Before closing his eyes for the last time Evan tells him he loves him. Tommy's watch shows 00:00 when he kisses Evan's temple and closes his eyes too whispering "love you too".
He wakes up to the sound of his phone. It takes him a minute to understand why he's lying on something soft when seconds ago he was dying with Evan in his arms. He never ever had a dream that realistic he thinks. He takes his phone and answers the call without looking who it is.
"Oh, thank god, Tommy, you finally answered. I need a favour from you please"
"Howie? What? Something happened?"
"Yeah, look. We need a helicopter and a pilot to fly it. And you're the best pilot i know"
"Helicopter? Again?"
"Now i need something more than the dumping you did last time. Remember , Bobby Nash? He and his wife went for a cruise and their ship stopped responding. And there is a storm so we are worried for them and want to find them in case they need help" This..this can't be right. Tommy already had this conversation with Howie ten months ago.
"What the hell?" He didn't mean to say it aloud but his confusion was too strong
"Em, I'm sorry, Tommy, i do understand you don't want to risk it, I'm sorry i asked, we'll try to think of something else"
"Wait, no, Howie, that's not... I'm not saying no. It's just strange you know. But I'll do it, of course. Only I'm at home now, i need maybe an hout to get to harbour"
"Great! Thanks, Tommy! See you there then"
"Yeah, see you"
Tommy disconnects the call and lyes back at the bed. "What the hell?" he says again in silence. He couldn't have dreamed about 10 months, right? He couldn't get this perfect relationship and then the most heartbreaking break up and all of this just in a dream? But if it was a dream then how he could dreamed this crazy thing about flying in the storm to save Bobby and now it's really happening? He looks at the screen of his phone 17:35 10 March 2024. Yeah, he definitely lost his mind.
He makes it to the harbour a bit later than he did last time but he remembers 118 is going to be here half an hour later. So he has time to sign a helicopter for a flight and make a pre-flight check.
"Hey, Tommy, man! It's so good to see you again!" Howie hugs him. And Tommy really doesn't know was it 2 months or 2 years he last saw him. But behind Howie there are Eddie and Evan. Just like in his dream. But something is different in Evan's expression. Last time he was exited and was looking around eyeing everything, now he's looking at Tommy and there is the same confusion in his eyes. Tommy can't help but hope it wasn't a dream and even if it was Evan had the same one too.
After the rescue they talk and yeah Evan remembers everything what's gonna happen to them too. They go together to Tommy's house and now talk about their relationship again and they kiss. This time they gonna make them work together, they've got a second chance and they won't lose it.
I really want more of it but i can't write it. I want to see reaction of the 118 to bucktommy dating and being so close together so fast. I want to see Buck saving Chimney before the wedding. This time Madney have the beautiful wedding they wanted. Buck finally is having this dance he waited. I want to see Buck and Tommy taking down Ortiz and doing everything against Bobby's leaving the firehouse and Gerrard's coming back. And just boys being in love.

Behind the Scenes of Blood Communion â Armand & The Kidnappings:
Iâve yapped about Armand in Blood Communion often enough over the years (it does feature one of my all-time favorite Armand moments), and I was always curious as to what was going on in Anneâs mind when she was busy plotting what would become the final book in The Vampire Chroniclesâspecifically re: the kidnappings and the explosive Lestat/Armand scene in the later half of the book.
Well, her diaries do give us the slightest insight into one of those things at leastâŠ
September 2, 2017
Anne has already mentioned Rose being Rhoshâs first victim and Viktor the second. Here is where she continues immediately after Viktor:
Then he [Rhoshamandes] takes Armand â
No casket comes â But theyâve intensified their hunt â on water â
Then he takes Louis â the most spectacular of all â burning novels of the Chateau â almost destroying Chrysanthe â ïżŒ
Lestat wants to give himself up.
Think about the order of abductions â
He [Rhoshamandes] + Lestat bargain â
But near dawn â
Maybe only Louis + Armand.
His first vengeance is on the Replimoid buildings â in London â
So⊠so far itâs tentatively Rose, Viktor, Armand, and Louis that are kidnapped. Gabrielle and Marius havenât been mentioned as of yet.
However, skipping ahead from page 135 to page 137 where she circles back to this that same day, Marius now enters the chat (briefly):
Louis + Armand are likely enough - I need to think about what he [Rhoshamandes] does - Maybe he should attempt to steal Marius + fail. And then burns the village - the sprinklers save much but the chaos is awful. Then he burns Armandâs house in St. Germain de Pres â
September 3, 2017
Anne remembers Gabrielle exists:
I forgot Gabrielle. Louis, Armand, Gabrielle â the braid in the ashes.
Lestat bargains â 15 minutes of talk to bargain for his life.
Itâs Louis, Armand, and Gabrielle for the time being. No Rose, Viktor, or Marius.
September 15, 2017
Anne âappearsâ to have decided on her group of three:
Rhosh has abducted Gabrielle + Louis + Armand.
Lestat has decided to give himself up. â
I always thought at first glance that Louis, Armand, and Gabrielle would make the most sense here tbh. Thereâs a fandom joke that Lestat would fall in love a McDonaldâs apple pie if it was warm out of the microwave and thatâs so fucking true! He loves a lot and easily, thatâs always been one of my favorite aspects of his personality. I love that he loves love. đ„č But there are three people that Lestat tends to group together one after the other over and overâŠ
âWhatever happens, it will be worth it,â I said. âThat is, if you and I, and Gabrielle, and Armand . . . and Marius are together even for a short while, it will be worth it.â ~ Lestat to Louis, TVL
She [Akasha] stared at me in silence; it seemed she would strike out at me; her face became that of a statue again; and I thought, Well, the moment is now. I will die the way I saw Azim die. I can't save Gabrielle or Louis. I can't save Armand. ~ Lestat, QotD
At the door, I turned and kissed Gabrielle again. I felt her body collapse against me for an instant; then her attention locked on Akasha. I felt the faint tremor in her hands as she touched my face. I looked at Louis, my seemingly fragile Louis with his seemingly invincible composure; and at Armand, the urchin with the angel's face. Finally those you love are simply . . . those you love. ~ Lestat, QotD
While there are accessible drafts of her earlier works, if any hardcopy drafts of the VC books exist beyond Blood Canticle, theyâre not presently listed at Tulane last I checked. I donât think she documented in her diaries when she made the decisions for what would become the final canon events here (as far as I can find yet, anyway, thereâs a lot I still have to go through). So who knows when, where, and why her original vision evolved, as most novels do before they make it into our hands.
Ultimately as a fan of both Armand and Lestat and their relationship, Iâm glad Anne went in the direction that she did! Itâs my favorite scene in the book for a lot of reasonsâso dramatic and raw and angsty all-around. đ„° And they end the series on such a sweet and tender note, I have no complaints (especially since I came into the fandom when Blood Canticle was the final word on Lestat and we never heard about Armand post-Blood & Gold). I think it was necessary for them to go through that ordeal together and to finally have their shared baggage and history laid out in the open! Perhaps Anne thought the same? So while I hands-down prefer the canon version, I also do enjoy the alternate possibilities for fic fodder⊠you know, what if? ;) ïżŒ
SHOUT OUTS: @somevagrantchild for the photographs taken during our Tulane trip and for letting me use them! â„ïž And of course @apoptoses for digging through hundreds of images to help me find what I was looking for, and for helping me decipher Anneâs handwriting. đ„ž

Hawks x prohero teacher Reader
You silently shook your head at the paper on your desk handed in by class 1A, you were on of their teachers and you had them do a paper assignment, usually you preferred doing hands on work with them but you unfortunately had to follow somewhat of curriculum.
The paper in front of you showed a sketched picture of bakugo beating up deku. You took a mental note to scold the kid next time he was in your classroom.
âY/N, for a hero your sure easy to sneak up on.â
Taken out of your thoughts by the voice of the famous number 2 hero. You looked to the direction of where you heard your name. Hawks was currently awkwardly crouched in your classroom window. He was very much resembling a bird in his weird crouched position.
âWhat did I say about barging into my classroom, you dumb bird.â
âHey, I missed seeing that pretty face of yours.â
You had to catch the smiling already forming on your face. You couldnât let your boyfriend know that you were already beginning to let go of your annoyance.
âThen donât blame me when our relationship hits the public.â
âHonestly let them find out, I am sick and tired of having to hide our relationship.â
âYou know the conditions the HPSC gave us even for us to start dating.â
Hawks rolled his eyes but he did know that what you spoke of was correct and that he would be sure to get in big trouble if you two were found out.
âWell I missed you, so I thought I would stop by for a quick visit.â
âOk, well come here and give me a kiss and get out of here before you are seen.â
Hawks quickly hops into your classroom reaching you in a flash. He softly grabs the back of your head with one while the other sneaks around your waist. His soft lips crash onto yours with aggression but care. You bring your hands through his hair in surprise of the passion coming from him.
Putting an end to the kiss, you softly pushed his chest away from you before you got in trouble from your boss at the school. You get get in some serious trouble if you were seen with your boyfriend while you were supposed to be working.
You and Hawks had only been dating for a couple months now, and honestly you never had been happier with someone than him. Unfortunately considering his position and background you guys couldnât be to open about your relationship.
âIf I get fired, itâs on you.â
You scold him after you guys broke the kiss.
âYou know I would take care of it.â
Rolling your eyes, you start to slowly push him out of your window.
âHey, Hey, No need to push me away Princess.
âKeigo, what did I say about the cheesy nicknames.â
âYou said you would shove my feaâ
âMiss (Y/N), I was wonderin-â
Kirishimaâs voice interrupted hawks as he was about to say something not so school appropriate.
Turning your head towards your class doer, you see the entirety of class 1A start to fill your classroom. Your heart drops, the class freezes at the scene. You and hawks make eye contact and for the first time of dating the swift hero, you see him lose all his so called swagger in a millisecond.
Both you and hawks start turning bright red as the girls start dangling over the both of you.
âWaittt, are you guys dating?â
Mina exclaims louder than most of the other girls. Both of you and hawks were speechless, you guys couldnât help but try to stutter out explanations.
âWell, shoot look at the time.â
Your boyfriend looks at his wrist that doesnât even have a fucking watch on it. With that thereâs a gust of wind and red feathers and hawks has completely disappeared. So long for depending on any help from your boyfriend in this situation.
âWhat are you guys doing here your class doesnât start in like 30 minutes.â
The students quickly explain to you that there right on time and that you must have lost track of time. You check the time and realize much to your embarrassment that they are right and you did indeed lose track of time.
âSooooo, are you and the bird hero a thing?â
âI will not answer that question, you guys do not to know about my personal life.â
You avoided the awkward question for the next hour like a you were in a real life battle. While you continued to teach you were planning how much you were going to get your so called loyal boyfriend in trouble for how he abandoned you in your time of need.
You headed out as soon as possible and dismissed the kids ten minutes early from their class and you sped back home before any of the kids could stop to talk to you. You did not have the energy today, tomorrow youâll deal with it and treat the kids how usual do. You rush home and as soon as you see hawks you punch him in the face.
âWhy would you leave me to deal with the bird brain, I was so embarrassed.â
You exclaim to him out of sheer annoyance.
Hawks was just smirking at you,
âWhat can I say, I am not great with kids you know.â
âWell, I am telling the kids the truth tomorrow so you can deal with it when they blab about it.â
You shrug it will affect your boyfriend a whole lot more then you so why should you care when he seems to not have a care in the world.
âHonestly, go for it.â
âOk well you should have told me that before I was a big jerk to the kids today.â
You shake your head at Keigo, letting the days event go.
âUhhh, sorry for overreacting and punching you, bird brain.â
Keigo just laughed and wrapped his arms around you, embracing you softly and started lightly tickling you with red feathers.
You couldnât keep up with the attack of feathers on you so you bagan to ran away from Keigo.
âBabe, this is what you get for punching me.â
âNot if you canât catch up to me.â
You could never stay mad at him, he brought so much laughter and love into your life and you couldnât wait to show everybody your relationship to be honest. On top of all the sweet and sentimental stuff your boyfriend was hot and you finally wanted to show him

I think users "suspicious" of asks from Palestinians are just very annoyed that they can't ignore them as easily as they can scroll by their calls for help on the dash
#if you really think someones a scammer just delete the ask from your inbox#usually when a palestinian person sends me an ask I got to their page to look for a vetted gfm link and rb that instead of the ask#or look up their name in the vetted gfm list#almost every time Ive gotten an ask from a palestinian it has been from someone with a legit vetted fundraiser#and it takes like 2 minutes to check at most#but no#its a lot easier to make a callout post to hurt palestinians who are trying to escape genocide#fuck off

The destiny reddit is an absolute warzone right now. Do yourself a favor and avoid it like the plague
Oh no. I saw a lot of negative comments overall and while I understand where they're coming from, I think at some point, some people should calm down.
I mentioned some of the issues I had with the campaign and I stand by them, I think some of this stuff definitely felt rushed and that we're sorely lacking basic information to understand the plot. But I can get over that if it's fairly reasonable to believe we'll find out eventually (and it is) and if the rest is solid. And to me, the rest is solid.
I know people have issues with strand taking too much time from the campaign, and I get it. But also to me, strand being such a huge part of the story made the campaign feel more personal and invested for US, the Guardian. To me, that was the point. I do wish the campaign was a bit more expansive, perhaps another mission or two would've been perfect imo. An extra mission could've delved into the history of the Veil and what it means. It's a legitimate complaint that I share, but also some people online have been expressing it... rather explosively.
I'd also add a counter to my own complaint; when it comes to the plot about the Veil and the Witness and the Traveler, it's clear that this isn't the end; it's a setup. Everything that happened here we can learn about retroactively in a month or six months or a year. It may suck because it's content for THIS expansion so we want to know now, but it CAN be explained later.
But strand? Strand can't. We have to learn it NOW. We can't get strand and then have a really cool personal discovery quest about mastering it in a month or six or a year. So if they didn't have time to fit another two missions into the campaign, it's fairly obvious what is being cut.
Is it clumsy? Yeah, definitely. I definitely feel like some crucial information has been deliberately cut away and removed, possibly waiting to be delivered during the year to prepare us for The Final Shape. I'm not a fan of that method, I would prefer a solid chunk of lore about the current story to be delivered in the current story. If anything, then for clarity. Especially because the majority of the players will not be waiting around to read 15 lore tabs during the year to figure out what's the Veil. A major expansion should be self-contained.
But for the love of god, some of what I've seen online is basically some players acting like we have E.T. (1982) on our hands. Like, I agree that there's issues and I've spoken about them and I can do it again at any point, but at the end of the day, I had fun and the good stuff was good. Literally my only true complaint is that it feels like a mission or two are missing. Pretty much every problem I have would've been solved with that. But that's an unknown amount of extra time of work so I cannot make a comment whether they could've done that or not. I will assume they couldn't so they didn't. Generally don't like assuming that they did it maliciously because then we go into dev harrassment territory.
#destiny 2#destiny 2 spoilers#lightfall#lightfall spoilers#ask#i've seen some really bad outrage out there and i just don't get it#it's fine. there's some disappointment but also a lot of really cool stuff#listen. i was on the front line during ME3 ending apocalypse and I equally did not understand it then either#it was a slightly disappointing ending (last 5 minutes more or less) but not worth the massive outrage#and if people genuinely just. do not enjoy ANYTHING about it i personally think that's a sign they no longer like the game#just speaking from my personal experience because i went through that myself#when i found myself scoffing and huffing and getting angry at every new bit of info about changes in forsaken i figured. hey.#i don't like this game right now. bye.#sat out an entire year and came back to check shadowkeep because the game moved to steam#like i genuinely do not mean this in any negative way but some people just do not like destiny anymore and should probably take a break#not talking about anyone specific on tumblr. i know some people are disappointed including some friends#and i understand their complaints. but usually most of them also have something they liked so it's not all horror and doom#and even if they didn't. who cares. if you don't like it hit da bricks#we have limited time on this earth please do something you enjoy

okay facing consequences of my actions
#I thought Iâd gotten away with it this time#okay itâs 3am and I may have discovered something that completely ruins me#everyone is asleep so I canât tell if this is me being sleep deprived or not!#so I need to sleep now but I havenât cleaned my code up or written my answers#I do Not have time#if I donât sleep now Iâm gonna be having a bad time tomorrow morning and I am significantly less productive rn than I could be#with other people around I kinda need that y#so I should go to bed. but also. this code needs cleaning. but also. even if I fall asleep now Iâm only getting like 5 hours MAX#I need a good few hours tomorrow morning to have a shot at doing this properly#so it would be more useful to sleep now and wake up as early as possible than keep going tonight bc Iâm not going to finish tonight#okay. fuck. I hate this#if I could think straight Iâd be able to fix this easy which is probably a good reason to sleep#itâs just an annoying logical problem that I gotta follow through bc currently Iâm stuck between three possibilities and there might be more#I have these two rasters and I gotta calculate the area overlap#the first method counts the number of presence points in each (probably) and then counts the number in overlap raster w manually set values#the second counts total predicted points and points where theyâre predicted to be alone and does a calculation with that for each species#that one with all points from both species + pseudoabsence. vs method 3 which does that with just individual species coordinates#method 1&2 are now homologous now I JUST caught the logical error but method 3 is what he gave us#but actually he might have fucked up in not including pseudoabsence#i donât know if method 3 works for two different species either honestly#it gives me results I like much more (my overlap is 100% for one of the species and that shoooouldnt rlly happen even if itâs possible) but#I think it might actually just be wrong because it canât account for#wait so the line is taking the prediction for all coordinates for each species for each speciesâ initial coordinates. and not pseudoabsence#and that set of predictions for each species coordinate set is then taken and yeah itâs no longer comparable you canât count each alone#not with two different species bc you need an overlapping dataset to do that OKAY I have solved that logical problem my initial method works#which is annoying bc the result sucks but whatever I checked the rasters and itâs actually identical so#okay now Iâve figured that out. twenty minutes later. sleep I think itâll help most#luke.txt

I'm such a sad sack and my depression has been infiltrating absolutely everything and im losing people because of it but i don't know what to do. sorry im not fun and entertaining 90% of the time anymore I've seen people be uncomfortable to talk to me and I'm really really trying to be positive and not bog people down with my problems but I'm doing really really bad. like i have to be honest im doing absolutely awful qnd I've just been crying about it for the last half hour and it has not been helping me feel any better or lighter
#smiles remembering the time i was in a car with 2 of my friends and felt such overwhelming loneliness#and had to pretend i was asleep in the back so i could take a few minutes to cry#but i literally feel like the most fucking useless person in the world#i could go into excruciating detail but I'm just too tired rn i just kind of hate myself#most people i still feel isolated and alone when im around them i only have one or two friends that actually make me feel like I'm someone#and I really just don't deserve them with the way ive been acting#idk give it up for 2025 maybe this is the year ill finally check into a mental hospital because i don't have the excuse ''im busy'' anymore

thinking about how i will probably be forced to spend my lunch break tomorrow rehearsing even though it's the only time i have free at all on a show day bc some people don't realise just how much i have to be doing and i. am. dreading. it.
#this is not a harsh dig at anyone it's just that most of the adult dancers only take one class and only have a couple of dances to do#so they get a lot of free time during tech and the show and if they want lunch rehearsal it takes like 10 or 20 minues max#to get their stuff done and go#i take 3 adult classes a week i help teach 2 (sometimes 3) children's classes a week#i am doing 9 dances and have to check on those 3 children's classes through rehearsal and show#i go earlier in the morning to help with set up and i help with clearing out after the show is done#i am happy to do all of it. i enjoy it even it is pretty fulfilling for me#but lunch is the only time where i can take a breather and i just KNOW people will wanna rehearse more bc everything is shambles this year#example time. lunch break is 2.5hrs. seems a long time right? last year i spent the first 20 minutes eating#and the last 10 trying and failing to take a nap straight up on the floor in front of the stage. and the rest was extra rehearsal!! 2hrs!!!#might have to find a hiding place early on so that no one will find me in lunch and i can just chill between tech and show#sorry for the rant i just. idk it's irritating like i get tired!!!!! let me sit down for an hour!!!!!#mae posts

Iâve lucid dreamed before and I honestly canât imagine how they could manage to make this work, even if they wanted to make it happen.
I rant in the tags but pls know Iâm just exploring this inane idea for fun, 100% if this device exists itâs just a scam for money lmao.

i told my roommate who works at the same clinic as me about one of my coworkers who has done very little both times ive worked with her and spent most of her time on her phone while i was still doing shit, and she told my boss what was going on so now my boss sent me home with a checklist to fill out of all the stuff she claimed she did but actually didnt
#i feel like im tattling#its just that when i started working it was so heavily emphasized that you *need* to share the workload (ESPECIALLY cleaning) evenly if-#theres 2 of you working one shift#and i dont think thats been emphasized with her because both times ive worked with her ive done most if not all of the cleaning#theres been an issue with how the new girls get trained that also existed when i was hired#the people who work there are just not good at training new hires and its obvious#so i think they just intend to retrain her and maybe the other new girl that got hired recently#ive heard theres also 2 new applicants so hopefully if either of them are hired theyre trained adequately#and i hope to god im not the one training either of them bc after the past several new hires have been shit i feel like theres pressure to#do better LOL#she also has a really bad problem about checking things off as done before she does them and then...just not doing them.#we have dehumidifiers were supposed to dump; she marked it as done; i knew she hadnt done it;#so i went and did it and bc of that noticed that one of them wasnt working#which led to the realization that all of the outlets on that wall werent working#which would have gone completely unnoticed bc she refuses to do her job#its just like. why even skip doing things that are easy and take less than a minute. its 2 dehumidifers that are 2 feet away from a drain#simon says

Babysitter - Part 1
Pairing: dad!Toji x babysitter!reader
Rating: Explicit â MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
Word Count: ~1.7k
cw: age gap (reader is 21, Toji is in his 30s), language, cheating, smut â PIV sex (doggy style), breeding kink, daddy kink
Summary: You're hired to babysit little Megumi for the summer, but you end up taking care of his father, Toji, as well.
Authorâs Notes: This is repost from my old blog! I initially got this as a request and it became my first Toji fic ever, and certainly not my last lol. I'm posting this again because I actually wrote a Part 2, check it out! Thanks for reading! Divider credit to @/fic-dumpster.
You stand in front of a quaint house, checking your watch for the time. Itâs been almost ten minutes now since you knocked, no answer. You gave the number from the listing a call, still nothing. Rolling your eyes, you take a seat on the steps leading to the door, waiting.
Itâs the summer before you head back to university for your senior year. In an attempt to make some extra cash, you took a job as a babysitter through local ads in the paper. The first two clients were completely normal; this one is already leaving a bad taste in your mouth.Â
Fifteen minutes have passed. You try once more, pounding on the door with your fist as loud as you can. Heel turned, ready to leave, it suddenly swings open, revealing a muscular man with black hair, glaring at you. âWhat the fuck do you want?âÂ
You step back, startled by his intimidating presence. Stuttering, you answer, âIâm the babysitter.â
He continues to stare at you, eyes following your body up and down, studying it. âBabysitter?â
Before you can explain any further, you hear a car rolling into the driveway. A woman in professional attire steps out quickly. âIâm so sorry Iâm late!â She rushes towards you, holding her hand out to shake yours. âWe spoke on the phone. I got stuck in traffic, Iâm so sorry.â
You smile at her. âItâs okay.â
She faces the man, expression switching from cheery to dreary in an instant. âToji, where is Megumi?â
He scratches his head. âHuh?â
âMegumi. Our child.â
He sighs. âRight. Uh, Iâll go get him.âÂ
While heâs gone, the woman pulls you aside, speaking in a hushed voice. âThatâs Toji, my husband and Megumiâs father. Unfortunately, heâs a complete deadbeat. Thatâs why I want to hire you. I started my new job and I need someone to take care of Megumi while Iâm gone during the day.â
She swallows hard, blinking to fight off oncoming tears. âI have no one. Iâve been shunned by my family, my husband doesnât give a shit about ours, and Iâm all alone trying to give Megumi a good life. I know this is a lot to ask, but Iâm desperate. This is just until I can save enough money to hire a full-time nanny.â
She grips onto your wrist with both her hands, begging for help. Truthfully, itâs a lot to unravel, more drama than you anticipated. But the anguish in her eyes tugs at your heartstrings. Plus, knowing itâs temporary doesnât make it seem so difficult. How bad can it be? âOkay. Iâll do it.â
Relief washes over her. âOh thank god. Thank you. Thank you. Letâs go inside and I can give you a tour.â She leads you through the entrance, removing her shoes as you follow her. âOh, and one more thing.â
âSure.â
âToji is home most of the day, but heâs always couped up in his room, doing god knows what. Just leave a meal or two outside his door twice a day. That should be enough.â
âHuh?!âÂ
She glances at you with a nervous smile on her face. âYeah. I told you, heâs good for nothing.â
You donât respond while you maneuver through the house, barely paying attention while she shows you around. It almost sounds like youâll be babysitting two childrenâŠ
~~~
The first two weeks of your new job go by smoothly. Megumi is an adorable baby; heâs almost two-years-old with hair as black as his fatherâs. While he never really smiles, he doesnât cry either, expression usually stern, unless he needs a diaper change. Heâs self-sufficient, always immersed by his own toys until itâs time to eat. Overall, heâs easy.Â
Toji, on the other hand, is another story.Â
You follow his wifeâs instructions, leaving two meals outside his door, breakfast and lunch. And this asshole has the audacity to critique it! The bread wasnât toasted enough. The eggs were too runny. There wasnât enough seasoning on the meat. All this criticism while each plate is licked clean, not a crumb to spot. Heâs never even uttered a simple thank you.Â
But what he lacks in social skills or personality, he makes up for in his physique. In between meals, he works out in the living room lifting weights, doing push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups at the frame of the door. It lasts for over an hour, and by the end of it, heâs shirtless, dripping with sweat. Youâve done everything in your power to avoid staring but it doesnât prevent your mind from conjuring all types of lewd thoughts about him. Youâre ashamed to admit that he is physically attractive, only because everything else about him is utter trash. Still, it doesnât hurt to look, right?
On the third week, thereâs a shift in energy between you two. When he isnât working out or going out to meet with his sketchy friends, heâs usually couped up in his bedroom, ignoring you and Megumi. This morning, he actually joins you in the kitchen. You stare blankly at him, stunned by his sudden appearance. Megumi is unfazed by his father as he tries to pull your wrist towards him to get a spoonful of mushed up peas.Â
When he catches you, Toji glares. âWhat?â
âUm, nothing. Just surprised to see you here.â You clear your throat, focusing back on the baby.Â
He rolls his eyes. âThis is my house. I can do whatever I want.â
âYes, of course. Sir.â
For some reason, this triggers him. He stands up abruptly, stepping to you, leaning his face towards yours. The scar on the corner of his lip twitches when he gives you a wicked grin. âThatâs right. Iâm in charge here.â
You flinch from him, scared, maybe even slightly aroused. Heâs intense, thatâs for sure. But part of you finds it exhilarating to be in his presence.Â
Megumi whines for more food, to which Toji grabs the utensil from your hands to start feeding him. âDamn kid, heâs hungry all the fucking time.â
You sit up in your seat, regaining your composure. âYou shouldnât curse in front of children.â
He faces you, chuckling. âCurse? Seriously? What are you, five?â
You cross your arms, answering, âIâm twenty-one.â
âInteresting.â Thereâs that naughty smirk again, as if heâs thinking something obscene in that twisted head of his. And while you should be turned off, youâre not. You squeeze your legs together, pussy throbbing between your thighs. And of course, he notices this. He must, because he leans forward, lips grazing your ear, whispering, âCome by my room whenever Megumi is taking his nap. Thatâs an order.â
~~~
This is bad. Very, very bad.Â
You're supposed to be better than this. Clearly, you arenât, because youâre currently getting railed by your employerâs husband while his child sleeps peacefully in the next room.
âFuck, this pussy is tight,â he groans, pumping his thick cock in and out of you. Youâre bent over the edge of the bed, his hips smacking against your ass as he thrusts into you. Heâs got a tight grip on your hips, nails digging into your flesh, pounding away at your greedy pussy, absolutely drenched with arousal and lube. Your face is sticky with perspiration, pillow soaked with sweat and drool. Itâs a fucking mess, but it doesnât matter, because all you can think about is Toji fucking you until youâre seeing stars. Until your head is empty and nothing but his fat cock is occupying your thoughts.
âGod, youâre squeezing me so fucking hard, princess. You gonna come again?â
You nod erratically, reaching your fingers to your clit. He smacks it away, doing it himself, his thumb flicking against your swollen bud. âFucking come on my cock then. Make it nice and creamy for me, got it?â
His cock is buried deep inside you, hitting your sweet spot over and over until you unravel, gushing around him once more. Youâve lost count on how many orgasms youâve had in this short amount of time.Â
After your climax, he doesnât pull out, fucking you even rougher. Your body is pliant around him, yielding to his every touch like putty. Youâve lost control of yourself, completely enraptured in the intense pleasure he surrounds you with.Â
He leans forward, chest pressed to your back, lips brushed to your ear. âIâm gonna knock you up. Give Megumi a little brother or sister. Would you like that?â Heâs crazy. Completely unhinged. Absolutely fucking psycho.Â
âFuck yes, I want that,â you moan. âGive it to me, daddy. Breed me.âÂ
And apparently, so are you.Â
âOh fuck yeah, take my fucking cum then,â he growls. The bed creaks violently below you, his backshots brutal and frantic now, cock desperate for release. âIâm gonna get you fucking pregnant. Make you mine.â
He shoots his hot load inside you, stuffing you full of his cum. He doesnât stop until heâs fucked it deeper into your pussy, watching with that sexy look on his face as his creamy cum leaks out of your slit.
Lifting you up to lay comfortably on the bed, he rolls beside you, kissing you sloppily until Megumiâs whimpers blare through the baby monitor, indicating that heâs awake. Toji laughs, smacking your ass as you crawl over him to return to your real job.Â
~~~
You spend the remainder of your summer employed at the Fushiguro household until you have to go back to school. You and Toji continue to fuck each other silly every day that youâre working.Â
The day before you leave for college, you say your goodbyes to the family. Megumiâs mom, who remains blissfully unaware of your sins, hugs you tightly. âThank you so much for all your help. Iâve finally saved enough money to afford a full-time nanny, so weâll be fine.âÂ
âIt was my pleasure. I had a lot of fun. With Megumi,â you clarify, avoiding Tojiâs gaze as he watches from the kitchen.Â
âSeriously. Youâre a good person. I hope you know that.â She smiles, truly grateful. âAnd thank you for taking care of my good for nothing husband too.â
As the guilt of this dirty, filthy secret eats away at you, Toji stares at you from across the room, smirking.Â

two of my favorite hcs that i have are that andrew is like an extreme car guy he fucking loves expensive fast cars but he also knows like jackshit. refuses to learn anything about them. originally bought the gs by asking for the most expensive thing he could get within his budget. the maserati gets a flat tire and andrew is staring down at the tire jack like he can explode it with his eyes. the engine makes a weird sound and he just plays the music louder and ignore it. and then u have neil who knows literally nothing about car breeds and what makes them impressive but is like magical when it comes to making them work. takes him 10 minutes to change a tire. he looks under the hood once and suddenly the engine light that was on for 2 months? disappears. he's like 'hey andrew have u ever checked the oil' '...' 'andrew you've had this car for 4 years'. they go on a drive one day and the maserati breaks down so neil shows him how to hotwire a car so they can drive to a nearby garage and andrew thinks it's the hottest thing he's ever done
#aftg#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#ik andrew would know literally everything about his car in canon bcus its like an extension of himself but this is funnier to me.

what do you mean reverse an overdose? How is that possible?
Hi anon.
So, in my most recent post where I was talking about reversing overdoses, I was talking about Narcan (naloxone).
Narcan is a medicine that can reverse opioid overdoses. It works on any opioids, including fentanyl, heroin, oxy, vicodin, etc. It isn't effective in reversing other kinds of drug overdoses, but would still work to reduce an overdose if your coke has fent in it, for example. It functions by blocking the opioid receptors in your brain and helps restore breathing. Narcan is not a dangerous medication, and it is not harmful to your brain, which means you can be dosed multiple times without increasing harm to your body. The experience of being Narcaned can be pretty fucking shitty, because it basically puts your body in withdrawal super super fast, and you might experience some of the effects of withdrawal like vomiting, body aches and chills, fatigue, etc. But there are not other harmful side effects outside of that. Narcan is safe to give to people of all ages, including children.
Narcan comes in both an nasal spray and intramuscular injections, but it's usually easier to get access to nasal spray. This is what Narcan looks like:
[ID: Someone holding a narcan nasal spray, which has a nozzle that can be placed into someone's nose, and a plunger underneath the nozzle that can be pushed up to administer a dose. Text on the image says: Do not test nasal spray device before use. Each device contains 1 dose of medicine. Each device sprays one time only.]
How to Use Narcan
Identify signs of Overdose
Check for Responsiveness
Administer Narcan
Support (other friends/911/medics)
To administer Narcan, you first need to identify if someone is overdosing. Signs of an opioid overdose can be when someone is unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing or slowly breathing, no pulse or erratic pulse, has pinpoint pupils, and/or has blue lips.
If you see some of these things and think that someone is overdosing, the next step is to check for responsiveness. You can do this by loudly calling the person's name, saying that you are going to Narcan them, gently shaking them, and by performing a sternum rub, which is where you rub your knuckles into the place in someone's chest where their ribs meet. If they're breathing and they respond, even if it's just making noises in response to you or physically pushing your hands away, that can be a sign that you don't need to administer Narcan right away. Still, in that case, it's a really good idea to stay with that person in case that changes. If, and only if, the person is completely unresponsive, you should administer Narcan.
Once you've determined that someone is unresponsive and overdosing, the next step is actually administering Narcan. Narcan comes in packs of two nasal sprays. Take the first nasal spray out of the box, put the nozzle in the person's nose, and press the plunger. If the person is still not responsive after 2-3 minutes, take the other nasal spray out of the box and give them another dose. I try to use the lowest number of doses possible to try to reduce the withdrawal experience, and I stop giving Narcan once someone is breathing and responsive. If they still are not responsive or breathing, and you know how to give rescue breaths, you can start administering rescue breaths. If you have to step away for any reason, turn the person on their side in the recovery position first.
After someone's overdose is reversed, it's really important that whenever possible, someone stays with them for at least an hour afterwards. Narcan is active in the body for about 30-90 minutes, so depending on what someone's original amount of opioids was, they might start overdosing again and need you to give them Narcan again. This is also why it can be important to try not to use again right away, which is really fucking shitty when you're trying to use cause you don't want to be sick, but unfortunately using right away can also put you at risk of overdosing again. When people come back after getting Narcaned, it can be a pretty disorienting and uncomfortable experience. You might not know who Narcaned you or why they're in your space, might be feeling really fucking shitty because of withdrawal, and might want to be left alone. If you've just Narcaned someone, introduce yourself and explain that you just gave them Narcan, listen to what they tell you, empathize with their feelings, respect people's boundaries, and give them space if they ask for it. Understand that they're probably feeling pretty fucking shitty in their body, that it fucking sucks when your high gets ruined, and they (justifiably) might not feel happy about the fact that you Narcaned them.
Pretty much all Narcan trainings will tell you that it's "recommended" to always call 911, but we all know that this is not always actually possible in a lot of situations and that cops always fucking make the situation worse. My policy is that I always, always ask for consent before calling 911 and if someone says no, then we brainstorm other ways of keeping safe and we don't fucking call the cops. If there's a situation where I do need to call 911, I never tell the operator that someone overdosed, because that usually gets them to send out the cops alongside ambulance, which can cause delays to care, put a lot of people at risk, and also put people, including bystanders, in legal danger. If I have to call 911, I say that my friend has collapsed/fainted/isn't breathing and keep it more vague, and when paramedics actually arrive on the scene, that's when I tell them more information about the overdose, what drugs someone took, and how many times I've administered Narcan.
You can get free Narcan a lot of places. Next Distro has resources for getting free Narcan by mail for almost every state. If there's harm reduction orgs in your area, they will have free Narcan. There's also a lot of Department of Health programs for free Narcan. Most pharmacies now also have Narcan available over the counter, but that's usually really fucking expensive and often pretty hard to shoplift cause they keep locking it up.
Even if you don't use drugs and you think that your loved ones don't use drugs, it's super important to have Narcan as a part of your first aid kit and learn how to use it. You never know when you're going to need to use it, and it's super good to be prepared ahead of time, in case your friend/family/neighbor/classmate/coworker ends up overdosing while you're there. Or in case you end up overdosing and having Narcan on you means that bystanders can help support you through it.
Here's a guide that goes a little more in depth into how to use Narcan.
Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions about Narcan or other harm reduction topics!
