hahaha ur so funny

u better not be breaking any traffic laws xu minghao
(read at 20:38 p.m.)
—
turns out, minghao wasn't breaking any traffic laws, because he didn't drive his car home.
instead, he did in fact show up at the door ten minutes later, panting heavily. he simultaneously looked like he just finished the most exhausting workout and like he was two seconds away from freezing into an icicle.
"hao? what the hell!" you exclaim in concern, dragging your boyfriend into the house immediately. you steer him over to the couch and sit him down, rushing over to the thermostat to turn up the heater.
"are you insane? what happened? were you getting chased by the cops?" you fire one question after the other, grabbing blankets to swaddle him in warmth.
once he was wrapped in blankets and his shivering stopped, he spoke up.
"you said you were lonely at home," he says. "and i did say i'll be back in ten."
"are you cra- did you run back home?"
"yes," he gulps. "i ran back home."
you can only gape at him in shock, eyes nearly bulging out of your skull.
"my car's in the shop, so it was either the train back or mingyu dropping me off. but i thought it'd be faster for me to walk-"
"you ran," you correct him. "you're such an idiot, i was just joking! what if you got frostbite or something?"
you don't give minghao any warning before you tackle him into a hug, plopping into his lap. your embrace fills him with warmth, even with the hundreds of blankets (there were only two) separating the two of you.
"i made it alive though," he smiles sheepishly, and you sigh, feigning annoyance.
"you're lucky i love you," you roll your eyes jokingly, now curled up against his chest in an effort to bring him back to a normal temperature.
"i sure am."
—
after you both ate dinner and minghao was showered and warm, he comes out of the bedroom to see you in the kitchen, sitting on the kitchen island and watching tiktoks.
"hey, what you up to?" he asks, coming to stand between your legs and taking a look at your phone.
"i wanna make hot chocolate," you sigh. "i've been craving it for so long but i'm way too lazy to make it."
"you're so silly," minghao nags. "what do you have me for?"
"you'll make me some?" you gasp, eyes lighting up.
"of course i will, love," minghao smiles, his smile only growing wider when you lean in to hug him and press several kisses of excitement all over his face.
when you were done with your kiss attack, minghao grabs a saucepan, and you grab the milk, cocoa powder, dark chocolate and some vanilla extract for him.
the ingredients are set next to the stove, and minghao pours some milk into the saucepan, enough for the both of you. you busy yourself with hugging minghao from the back, watching the milk come to a slight boil before he adds cocoa powder and stirs till the mixture is smooth.
he then adds the dark chocolate and a bit of the vanilla extract. you inhale contentedly when the rich aroma of chocolate fills the kitchen. soon, minghao is pouring the hot chocolate into two mugs, when you remember the most important ingredient.
"marshmallows!" you exclaim, going to the pantry to get the big marshmallows you had bought at the store earlier that week for this exact reason.
you add a generous amount of marshmallows to both the mugs, smiling cheerily as you add a few extra to your mug.
"all done?" minghao asks you, and you nod, so he places both the mugs on a tray and carries it out to the living room, setting it down on the coffee table. "let it cool for some time, or you'll burn your tongue."
"yes, grandma," you tease minghao, and he simply raises an eyebrow at you, his expression saying, 'really? grandma?'
while you wait for the hot chocolate to cool a bit, you both share stories of what happened in your day. you told minghao about the annoying receptionist at your office keeps sending you flowers and won't accept the fact that you're taken, and minghao has new gossip about a love triangle forming between his colleagues.
as you catch up with each other, the mugs of hot chocolate warm your cold palms, and its contents slowly start emptying out. soon, it's just you and your boyfriend, snuggled up against each other, finishing the last bits of your hot chocolate and enjoying each other's presence.
"i'm glad we get to spend another christmas together," your voice is barely louder than a whisper, but with how close you are to minghao, he can hear everything.
"i'll spend every christmas i have left with you," he replies, pressing a kiss to the crown of your head. "i love you."
"i love you too, hao," you hum.
(minghao eventually has to pry the empty mug out of your hands when you fall asleep in his arms, just to avoid any accidents.
he decides that he'd walk through the coldest of nights to get to you, as long as it meant that his heart would feel this warm just with your love.)

Aita for taking longer showers less often?
I (m 20s) live with family, Blue (f 20s) and Red (f 60s). They both shower daily, and try to limit showers to 5 minutes. I am disabled and need assistance with showering, so I only shower twice a week when someone comes into the house to assist me (so please don't tell me I'm gross etc for not showering more often, it's literally not my choice).
When I shower, I take 10-15 minutes, both because of said assistance/my disabilities and because showering less often means I try to be as thorough as possible so I'm not left gross for the 2-3 days between showers. I do still try to limit it to 15 mins max, as we are in the beginnings of a drought right now, and additionally will turn off the water while soaping up etc. Point is I'm trying not to overuse water.
However, me having a longer shower does mean that there is less hot water on those days than otherwise, and because Red and Blue typically shower after work, they sometimes don't have enough hot water for their entire showers on those days. It often ends up whoever is home last has a tepid shower and complains to me about overusing the hot water.
They say I need to limit showers to 5 mins like they do, in order for the distribution to be fair. I say that I don't, as I'm only showering 2 times a week, so my total water usage is less than theirs anyway, and they should deal with some tepid water on the only days I'm able to shower. And of course I need more time as my disabilities and assistance make the process slower.
Anyway, AITA for taking longer when I am able to shower? And if you want, can you think of any way to compromise on this? Because frankly I can't see a way to shorten my showers any further but I don't want to leave them with cold water if I can do something about it. Thank you for your time.
What are these acronyms?

First Birthday (Joel Miller X Reader)
Pairing: no-outbreak!joel miller x f!reader
Warnings: fluff, sweet joel, domestic joel, rom-com
Summary (Series): reader as Joel’s neighbor. Joel’s wife left him so Joel asked his neighbor for help in babysitting Sarah.
Summary: Pov: You and Joel prepared to celebrate baby Sarah’s first birthday together.
Words count: 1.5k
A/N: I’m trying to make this as a rom-com, hope you like my new series! This is part 6 of Where It All Starts. But it can also be read as a standalone. I'm beyond happy that many of you liked it so I hope you enjoy the next parts. Stay tuned and love you!
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 Part 18 Part 19 Part 20
Thank God Joel still treated you the same way before he confessed his love to you that night. You acted like nothing happened and he did the same.
“Thank you for walking me home, Joel.” Joel always walked you home even though your house was exactly next to his.
“Anytime, darlin’.” This was the second time he called you darling. Your heart jumped.
“I-uh-I forgot to tell you. Sarah’s birthday is coming. I was wondering if we could celebrate together.” He put his hand behind his neck.
“Oh really? It’s her first birthday! We should hold a party!” You jumped excitedly.
“A party? I don’t know (y/n). I mean-I don’t have anyone to invite beside my brother.” Joel put his hands in his pocket.
“I can invite my friends from the cafe. Let’s give Sarah the best first birthday ever. She deserves it.” You bumped Joel on the upper arm.
“Yeah, she deserves the best.” Joel nodded.
“So, what should we do?” He crossed his arms.
“I’ll think about it and we can talk about it again tomorrow.”
“Okay. Thanks. Good night, darlin’.” Joel kissed your cheek.
“Good night, Joel.” You kissed him back.
You shrieked as you closed the door. Joel Miller just called you darling. After what you said to him and he still called you darling? His words made you sway. And the kiss on the cheek felt different. Joel kissed your cheek every night but today definitely felt different. It felt more loving if you had to describe it. Was it because he called you darling? Was it because he was still nice to you even though you broke his heart? Then you remembered you told him that you weren’t ready for a relationship. You were the one who asked him not to fall in love with you but why were you swayed now? You hit your head to get a grip of yourself. You spent your night thinking about how you could make Sarah’s birthday special. You took out your notebook and wrote your ideas about the cake design, colors, decorations and everything. Trying to neglect your thoughts about how perfect Joel was.
It was another day and you prepared dinner at Joel’s house just like usual. You and Joel had dinner together almost every night since you babysat Sarah. Either you cooked for the two of you, ordered deliveries, Joel brought takeouts, or ate out. But tonight you decided to cook.
“You’re home early.” You turned to look at Joel who just got home from work.
“Today was peaceful.” He chuckled.
“Dinner will be ready in 10. So you can take a shower first, sir.” You bowed, acting like a maid.
“I’ll be back.” Joel chuckled as he shook his head at your joke.
*10 minutes later*
Joel went down the stairs looking fresh after a shower.
“Smells good.” Joel sniffed.
“You always said that.” You scoffed.
“I’m being honest.” Joel glared at you.
“Well, thank you.” You smiled.
You and Joel dug in and ate the meal you cooked.
“So, I’ve got some ideas for Sarah’s first birthday party.” You took out your notebook.
“Uh-huh. What do you got?”
“I was thinking of a pink themed kind of birthday party. What do you think?” You squinted your eyes.
“Hmm, how about purple? I’m seeing Sarah as a purple girl.” Joel voted purple.
“Yes sir. Purple it is.” You wrote purple on your notebook.
“About the cake, I have talked to my baker and he has this amazing design in mind. You’ll love it.”
“I’ll leave it to you, miss.”
Sarah’s Birthday D-1
You and Joel decorated the house with purple flowers and purple balloons. You used helium for the balloon so it could fly to the ceilings.
"Never meant to cause you any sorrow~"
Joel sang as he held the balloon pumper as a microphone near his mouth.
You turned your head right away as you heard a high-pitched voice singing.
"Seriously?" You put your hands to your waist staring at him.
"Never meant to cause you any pain" Joel closed his eyes and continued singing.
You inhaled some of the helium and jumped to the couch.
"I only wanted to one time to see you laughing.."
You sang and Joel stopped because he was impressed by you.
"I only wanted to see you in the purple rain"
You started to sing like a real singer on the stage but you were just on Joel's couch.
"Purple rain
Purple rain"
Joel inhaled another helium and sang with you together. The two of you burst into laughter. You couldn't stop laughing, your stomach hurts.
"Okay, okay. Stop it. My stomach hurts from laughing." You pressed your stomach.
"I didn't know you like Prince." You bumped Joel's arm.
"Purple rain is like my jam." Joel squinted his eyes.
"Wait, did you choose purple because of the song? Purple as in purple rain?" You furrowed your brows confused as you joined the dots. He shrugged.
"I..may have chosen purple because of purple rain." He admitted.
"You're sooo predictable." You shook your head and poked his chest with your index finger.
D-day
The birthday cake was big and purple. It was a two tier cake with pearls and sparkly butterflies around it. You thanked your baker for making Sarah a beautiful birthday cake.
Sarah wore a purple dress with a purple bow tie bandana headband around her head. You and Joel had bought them a few days ago at the mall.
"Happy birthday, you cute little girl!" One of your employees from the cafe shook her little hand gently.
"Whoaa, who is this pretty little girl here?" Another friend from your cafe came to her while baby Sarah was in Joel's arms.
"Happy birthday, purple girl." Flo came and stroked her head.
"Say thank you, babygirl." Joel bounced Sarah and she babbled.
"You're welcome." Flo gave you a gift box for Sarah and you put it on the table piled with presents.
Everyone was happy to celebrate Sarah's birthday. They were like a second family to her. She spent every day with them and you at the cafe. And they loved her too.
“Hey, you old fucker. And hey there you, babygirl. Happy birthday, my sweet little niece.” An unfamiliar man approached the two of you and kissed baby Sarah’s head.
“Tommy!” Joel hugged his younger brother.
“(y/n), this is Tommy, my younger brother. Tommy this is (y/n). She’s uh-she’s my neighbor. She’s the one who came up with all of these.” Joel introduced you to Tommy and pointed around the house.
“Hi, Tommy. I’m (y/n). Nice to meet you. Joel helped a lot too.” You shook Tommy’s hand.
“So you guys-uh-together?” Tommy asked.
“We’re neighbors.” You answered and Joel nodded.
“Okay. If you want to say it that way. I’m sure you guys are more than that anyways.” Tommy raised both of his opened palms in the air.
“Okay, now I’m gonna mingle and see if I can talk to that pretty girl.” Tommy walked away and talked to a girl, who was apparently to be Flo.
“I didn’t know you had a brother.” You chuckled.
“Well, you know about it now.” Joel kissed Sarah’s cheek.
“He seems..” You pouted as you were looking for the right word.
“Friendly. Very much friendly.” You smirked.
“Yep, he is.”
“Why don’t we gather everyone and sing happy birthday?” You rested your hand at Joel’s shoulder then to Sarah’s head.
"Everyone! Joel here has something to say." You gathered everyone's attention.
"What? I thought you were the one who-" Joel whispered to you and bumped your arm.
"Shh.. come on do the speech." You whispered back to him.
"I didn't prepare anythin'." He panicked.
"You can do it. Come on." You patted his back.
"Hi-uh-I'm Joel. I'm sure you all know Sarah. She's turning one today. Thank you for takin' care of her every day at the cafe. I really appreciate it. You are all a second family to her. Why don't we-uh-sing happy birthday to my little girl?" Joel was sweating. You could see it dripping to the back of his neck but you just chuckled. You found him cute this way.
*Everyone started to sing*
Joel sang half way and he stopped singing so you turned to him. His eyes were locked to a woman who just came into the house. She was his ex-wife and her current boyfriend.
"Joel.." You stroked his upper arm.
"Hold Sarah for me?" He passed Sarah to your arms.
"Okay." You took her from his arms and held her, bouncing her a bit.
Joel sighed as he walked towards his ex-wife. He didn't let her see Sarah. He dragged her outside the house avoiding everyone to see the drama that would happen.
"Everything's gonna be okay, baby. Your dad got this. Let's just be happy and celebrate your birthday. Today's your special day." You talked to baby Sarah and kissed her forehead.
To be continued…

⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚
I'm always thriving in the things I love—learning new languages, exploring endless hobbies & just constantly growing .
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how quickly time seems to pass & it's a reminder to make the most of every moment.With the winter vacation still here, I'm using this precious time to focus on 3 main goals before the new semester starts:
1. Chinese Learning: As I’ve already been learning Chinese, my goal is to speak and understand it fluently.
2. Comic Creation: (bringing my comic ideas to life )sketching and working on my comic
3. Yt : consistency
By focusing on these goals now, I’m building momentum and making significant progress. Once the university resumes, I’ll already have a solid routine in place, which will help me balance my studies and personal goals smoothly.
⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚
" Time may feel like it’s slipping by, but it’s only a reminder to push forward "
⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚ 🦢・₊✧⋆౨ৎ ₊˚
Today's Priorities: Let's get it done~
Chinese Learning : Learn 5–10 new chinese sentences , If I’ve got time, I’ll learn even more! Focusing on conversation videos and active recalling
Add more phrases to " phrases to embody in 2025 " journal
Comic Creation: Start sketching the ideas , aim to complete the first 5–6 pages today
Yt : Film 2 clips & edit
Take a refreshing shower
Take my Snoo for a walk around 5 pm
[ I’ll add more once I tick off a couple of things on my Today's priorities ]
Today's Wins ~
Completed filming + editing the clips
Took a refreshing shower
Learned Chinese for 20 mins
( I've come up with a brilliant idea -learning Chinese while doing house chores too , I’ll just pop on some audio, it’s the perfect way to use my time more efficiently, even while getting things done(allowing me to learn even while multi-tasking )˚˖𓍢ִ໋🍒✧˚.⋆
Completed adding the phrases to" phrases to embody in 2025" ( will add more later )
Brainstormed my comic story and characters, and tomorrow, I’m all set to start sketching them into reality!

Warnings: none
Word count: 1093
Garden Note: Chill on me this is my first time writing a fanfic in a while please bare with me.
Chaapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, chapter 7, chapter 8, chapter 9, chapter 10
Reader Pov
I was tired of college essays after essays professors just yapping about nothing at this point. I can’t wait to get home I’m sleepy. I think to myself I hear the bell ringing signaling that class is over and it’s time for us to go. I stand up and start packing everything into my book bag and head out stopping by a café to get a blueberry muffin. I leave the café after eating my muffin i brush off all the crumbs and start walking the direction to my apartment.
I see a group of college boys eyeing me in my outfit being an 19 yr old girl in Washington dc walking home by herself something is bound to happen. I decided it wasn’t safe to walk the normal route to get home me and one of the boys make eye contact so I change routes and take a short-cut to get home. I walk down the alley looking back to see if any of the boys followed me i look forward and see a random box in the middle of the alley.
I think nothing of it and walk around it i hear a confused mew and turn back around think there was a cat in between the house i walk back to see if I can find it. I hear another mew and get closer to the box thinking it’s coming from there one more mew comes from the box and confirms my suspicion i nudged it with my foot seeing if it would do it again from the various mews and meows coming from the box i suspect it’s 2 or 3 cats.
Being a sucker for cats I pick up the box almost falling from the unexpected weight of it. Thinking these are some fat cats I trek the way back to my apartment going up and down hills making sure i don’t drop the box and not falling i walk up step steps and by time i get to the top of the stairs. I set the box down heaving and panting from carrying the box i get my key fob from my purse and whisper to myself “fat ass cats” I open the door and use my legs to pick up the box and prepare my self to walk up steps with a heavy box thanking god that it was a thick one and not a weak one wrapped in tape.
I finally get to the second floor of the apartment building and almost drop the box at my door but gently put it down.
When I go through my purse and don’t feel the keys to my apartment i feel my back pocket and sigh of relief i attach my keys to my key fob so i don’t make the same mistake. I open the door and whisper to myself again “Home sweet home” i walk inside and set down my purse and keys on the coffee table.
I look around seeing how clean and spacious my apartment is. I glance towards the door with the box still on the ground i huff and walk towards the door taking my time and picking back up the box “i’m really starting to get tired of this shit” I whisper frustrated i set the box down on the same coffee table where my purse and keys are.
Hoping my table is strong enough to hold all the weight i’m adding to it. I walk back towards my door and lock it huffing as my legs feel like giving out. Walking from place to place has me fit and tired walking around Washington everyday just to save money is dedication if you ask me. I look towards the box and sit on my couch leaning back and breathing slowly trying not to fall asleep i run my hand over my face and pout this is way too much i think to myself.
Here we go i stand up leaving the box alone and go over to my bed room.
Deciding that i want to get out of my disgusting clothes i sniff my shirt and gag from how I smell like onions. I put my braids into a bun and put on my shower cap and take a quick 30 min shower thinking the cats might be sleeping from the trip from the alley to here is a long way a good 2 hours and 30 minutes away. I look at the time and see that it is 4:20 I turn on the light as I step into my room and take a deep breath smelling the perfume that I put on this morning.
I do a quick skin care routine for my body and face feeling relaxed and letting the stress from the day go away i start to feel tired.
But i walk out my room and down the hallway past the guest room and see the box had moved a little from where i placed it.
I ignore the box and go towards the kitchen i stop mid way and turn around as i think about the box wondering if it has breathing holes in it i rush towards the box and see that it does. I let out a sigh of relief and go back to the kitchen making myself a quick smoothie and cereal.
I go to the table and set everything down before I start eating i say grace and eat after i wash the dishes. i grab 2 bowls and set them on the ground for tomorrow i go towards the cabinet and reach for 2 tuna fish cans. Leave them out i fill one of the bowls with fresh water and smile thinking i’ll finally have other living things in my house but me.
It’s been feeling rather only in my apartment with just me and my fish here i gasp loudly thinking about my fish i rush to it and look into the tank sighing in relief “hi dory, i missed you today” i speak to the fish. And feed her food “sorry for forgetting about you girl we have some new guests that you’ll meet tomorrow”.
I grab a blanket before going to the couch i turn off every other light but the small light in the living room. I pull out the bottom of the couch to stretch my legs out and to sleep comfortably i say a small goodnight to the box and close my eyes waiting for tomorrow to come to open the box.

The Tale Of When Aneurinallday Had Pneumonia That One Time
In March, my sibling took me to a concert and I got a bad "cold". I thought I was getting better when the fever, nausea, and other cold symptoms stopped, but the cough just would not go away :>
I literally couldn't sleep because of the non-stop coughing which got worse when I lay down. I even tried sleeping while sitting up and leaning forward, but it didn't work.
I had no appetite, and couldn't eat anything except some yoghurt and puréed fruit. I had zero energy, and I got exhausted just going up the stairs. I was 100% miserable. After 10 days my fam was like, right, this ain't no cold, you're Sick with a capital S.
So in the morning I went to the GP, and as soon as I stepped in the GP office, he was like "well, I can hear what the problem is" because I was wheezing. And he did the stethoscope, and told me I had pneumonia and my lungs were absolutely full of phlegm.
I was kinda scared, because my mum once knew someone who knew someone who died from pneumonia, so I wondered if I was going to die :<
So he sent me straight to the hospital (the directions were bad and I had to walk all the way around for 20 mins while wheezing)!and they put me on an oxygen tank and gave me antibiotics and stuff.
They took 3 or 4 different blood samples, AND THEN LOST THEM, so they had to take the blood samples again. I did a chest X-ray too. But there were no beds available, so I had to wait hours for a bed.
First they put me in the lung ward (I think) which was full of elderly people. The old lady in the bed next to me was straight-up dying and I had to pretend I couldn't hear her family crying and saying goodbye. It was very awkward and upsetting so I put my earphones in and listened to music. But I don't know when she actually passed away, because that night I got taken to a different ward, where I stayed.
Things I didn't like about being in hospital:
being an ill person
being surrounded by other ill persons
constant noise, it was very loud at all hours because of all the beeping and suffering
icky bad food
very tedious - I was too tired to read books or watch TV, so I just rested all day and listened to music in my earphones
my bed didn't have any curtains and it took several days for them to put curtains up so I could finally get changed
I couldn't shower because of my tubes and plasters and stuff
my oxygen tube wasn't long enough to reach the bathroom, so I had to carry my oxygen tank with me to the bathroom
I had BIG injections of antibiotics three times a day, so my hand and arm developed bruises from being jabbed all the time
I kept having nosebleeds because the oxygen made my nose so dry
Things I liked about being in hospital:
All the nurses were really nice and took good care of me
They gave me ICE CREAM EVERY DAY!!
Being wheeled around the hospital in a wheelchair. It was like being on a very slow ride.
Also, apparently the fact that I had pneumonia in BOTH lungs was so fascinating and interesting, that they actually brought in some medical students to examine me and ask me questions. They even asked my permission to look at my chest X-rays. So that was cool?? I guess???
Then one day the doctor was like "well you are not recovered yet, but if you stay in hospital there is too much risk of you catching covid or something from the other patients, so it's best that you go home" so I got sent home.
And after a few weeks I went back for another chest X-ray and they said Yay you are healed :>
The End
Oh and then my family got sick immediately after, and we all missed my uncle's funeral :<

Sorry if this is weird but I NEED to know if you have a curl routine because your hair always looks so gorgeous whenever you post it!!!
Anyway I hope you’re having a great day!!!:D
-curly haired femme who always looks slightly frazzled
Ofcourse!! Not weird at all! Hereby follows:
OPAL'S PERFECTED TRIED-AND-TRUE DAILY CURL ROUTINE !
Step one: shower
I shower daily, and use head & shoulders smooth&silky shampoo to wash my hair thoughroly, sometimes even double shampoo. I know, I know, it dries out your hair and stuff, but I cannot put on pj's and go to bed covered with outside germs. Ain't happening. Plus the daily product buildup is FIERCE so it's good to have a fresh start every night. After shampooing I use the regular head&shoulders conditioner. Out of the shower I dry my hair a little bit by sliding the towel gently over my hair and dabbing lightly. Just getting it to the point of not literally sopping wet.
Step two: product
What you're going to need:
This thing, which my mom gets from idk where. But shoutout my mom for helping me out here.
I take two pumps of the cream, spread it on my palms and use my hands to comb through my hair gently in a backwards slicking motion. At this point you should look like a a douche that slicks their hair back. Then I lightly shake my hair out with my fingers, take another pump of the cream, spread it on my palms, and squeeze it into larger clumps of curls.
Pattern strong hold gel. I get it off Amazon, and truly, this is the best hair gel I've ever used. It holds the hair firmly without leaving it sticky or crusty. I love it tons! I take a small amount (of course this is going to differ according to the amount of hair you have, this is for my neck-length mullet) about 2 fingers worth, and once again rub it into my palms and slick my hair back flat like a douche. At this point I shake my hair out to not be flat with my fingers and wipe my hands so I can brush.
Next, you're going to need one of those large-tooth curl combs. I use this one by fifi but they're all basically the same thing. What you want to do is a technique called "ribbon curling", which was the absolute GAME CHANGER on controlling frizz and getting bouncy, satisfying curls. You should definitely look up a video to get a better understanding, but the basics is that you're gonna want to grab a small section of hair, and comb it UP & OUTWARDS while "sandwiching" the hair with your finger, pressing it on the comb. I do that for my fringe, the top part of the back of my head, and the bottom part of my hair, but for the bottom part, I curl it DOWN & INWARDS, so it curls towards the neck.
Afterwards I just spray 4-6 spritzes of this amazing texture spray, it makes your hair look moist and soft, it's a subtle effect but I never skip this step. It's like a lucky charm for my hair.
step 3: hawt air
I dont do this every day, but if im going to bed (NVER SLEEP WITH WET HAIR) or going out and I need to get my hair dry quicker, I use a Dyson airwrap with the diffuser attachment (it doesn't come with a diffuser, you're gonna need to get it online, I got mine off aliexpress for 10 bucks) I use the lowest heat setting, and just "cast diffuse" which just means I let the airwrap hover 3-5 inches from my head, drying my hair without touching it. Then I cast diffuse for a couple more minutes with my fingers in my hair, lifting it up and drying it for volume. At this point, your hair is going to be kind of dry but not fully. If i'm going out, I let it air dry for another 40 mins- an hour, (I just do my makeup and get dressed and usually it takes me that amount of time lol) and then I use my fingers to ruffle out my curls gently and break the gel cast. If im going to bed, I don't break the cast, I just let it air dry a little bit more (20-30 mins) and then wrap my hair gently in a silk scarf, and go to bed! :) by the morning my hair is dry and I can break the cast and it looks the same as if I'd just done it this morning.
Step 4: enjoy being the sexiest mf in all of the land!!!!@!!!! Bounce and jump around to show off your amazing shiny curls and let all the dykes marvel at your crown, running their fingers through it and giving you their phone numbers.
Hope this is intelligible :) my dms and asks are always open for questions or anything else!!! Thank you for asking love you bye 😚😚😚

My older brother used to take 30 min showers 10 minutes before we were meant to leave and cause he was my ride to school I was constantly late cause of him. Older siblings get tf out of the bathroom challenge
when my sister gave me rides to school in exchange for not paying rent or any other utilities to my mom since she was like 19 or 20 at the time, she would refuse to get up until like 5 minutes before we left and if i asked her to hurry up even once she would threaten to make me walk 💀
#og post#ask#anon#she wouldnt even pick me up from school if she was off#which she was a lot. bc she was working part-time#its been like 3 years but ill admit im still real fucking bitter about that because id walk home for an hour#(we live right on the cusp of bus limits so 1.9 miles. any farther and i wouldve been able to ride the bus)#in 90+ degree weather bc this is texas with my full backpack weighing a ton and then id get home#and shed be like. asleep.

i have work at 4…. so i need to arrive at the building by 3:55… it takes me 15 mins to get there, but i better round that up to 30mins in case of heavy traffic and so i don’t feel rushed, so i have to leave at 3:25….!it takes me about an hour to get ready, except i usually am rushing around and running late by the end of that hour, so maybe i should schedule 75minutes to get ready… but i already showered (which probably takes 15 minutes???), so i probably only do need an hour to get ready today… so i should probably start getting ready at 2:25…. but i might want to get coffee on the way, which probably will take an extra 10mins, so better start getting ready at 2:15….. although if i order something to eat along with my coffee, i don’t need to schedule time to eat something during my “getting ready” time… so if i’m not showering or eating anything, all i really need to do is get changed and brush my teeth, which should only take me like 10 mins…. so i actually only need to start getting ready at like 3, right?…. but no, i KNOW it usually takes me way longer than i think, so i should probably start getting ready around 2:30… it’s 1:20 right now, so i don’t have time to watch a movie or anything…. might as well just scroll on tumblr for a bit
*a full 90minutes later*: oh god, finally i have the motivation to get up! oh wait im starving so i do need to make food, and i also want to shower again bc i feel gross, and i’m tired so i will still need to stop and get coffee, and oh shit i need to blow-dry my hair now because there isn’t time for it to air dry… oh fuck my work shirt has a stain, let me spend 10 minutes in vain trying to get that out.. fuck, i’m in a rush and i’m late and i’m tired because the line at the coffee shop was wayyy too long…….. if only i spent an even longer time trying to schedule out my day, then i wouldn’t be in this situation.

Hi! I hope you are having a nice day!
Above all, I apologize for the bother; perhaps it's even a silly question 😅
Anyways, I wanted to ask you if staying silent and standing upright in the bathroom after a shower is something related to being neurodivergent? I mean whenever I take a shower, I feel like drained of all energy, so I stay in there without doing anything for at least 5 min -normally 10 or 20 min- before I continue with my routine. When I got depressed, it even took me once 2 hours 😑
Again, sorry for bothering you! And in any case, thanks for your support! I adore what you do with this account; it's quite helpful 🩷🩷 !!
It definitely can be related. There are many neurodivergencies which can make showering a really hard task for various reasons. And especially if the exhaustion isn't physical (meaning that you don't struggle to stand up during/afterwards), the exhaustion you describe is very likely to be related to you being neurodivergent.

7:00 take a hot shower. I usually take a hot shower in the evening and a colder shower in the morning to wake me up. Both have different benefits, so it’s good to balance them out.
7:25 change into pyjamas and moisturise your whole body.
7:35 skincare. make sure you have a fairly simple skincare routine so you can do it daily without it being to overwhelming, and that the products work for your skin type.
7:50 make a fruit smoothie. I like to make a healthy smoothie a bit before i go to bed to get glowy skin. You can find many recipes on Tiktok or Pinterest.
8:00 meditate. Meditating calms the mind and builds a connection with your mind and body.
8:30 bullet journal, i like to do this to reflect on my day. Bullet journaling can be as personal as you want it, and if you don’t have a physical book to write in, use your phone or your notes app. They work just the same.
8:45 watch a movie/show in bed.
9:20 make a warm tea to drink before i go to sleep, then brush my teeth once it’s finished.
10:00 go to sleep.
𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 🌥️
6:55 wake up, get changed and brush my teeth.
7:00 do a smaller skincare routine, i don’t usually use things like my eye creams in the morning like i do at night.
7:10 do my makeup.
7:25 style my hair.
7:40 eat a healthy breakfast. Don’t make skipping breakfast a usual thing in your daily schedule. Eating a form of breakfast will get your body ready for the rest of the day.
7:55 do a workout. I like to do some pilates, or a simple workout at the start of my day to get my body moving. I follow lots of Youtube routines, i recommend looking there if you’re wanting to find one.
8:25 drink a glass of water. Water helps flush your system out, which is great for weight loss.
8:28 check my phone. I don’t go on my phone much during the day, this is the time i use to message people and go on my socials. I usually go on it again about 6pm.
8:40 make a cup of coffee.
8:45 read for 20 mins.

just picked up a package that contains - so i was convinced - my The Hu merch (didn’t have enough money at the concert to buy merch on site).
i was home when it was delivered but i had just stepped out of the shower and didn’t want to answer the door like that. so i had to pick it up later. the pick up site seemed to be an industrial/warehouse area w only one picture on google maps to check out where i could park my car. on the picture, a warehouse and concrete ground. no pick up shop, no parking space.
it would be a 10 min drive. 30 min w public transport, 20 min w the bike, so i decided to take the car bc it would be fastest. i manage to get there (i hate driving in the city ugh). big open concrete space. parking spaces for companies. i park on an unmarked space, that is technically not a parking space but i don’t want my car towed bc i parked on some manager’s spot. as i get out the car it’s warmer outside than it was when i left the house. still, i grab my jacket. i look around, then i start to walk into a direction where it seems like the front doors of one of the warehouses could be.
to get to the entrance of the pick up shop i have to turn quite a few corners, ring a doorbell and be let in, walk up two flight of stairs. i find two ppl there, one copying some documents, the other one leads me into a room w a small shelf, on which a few packages sit. mine is there, too. i show my pick-up-your-package slip of paper and my id. i wish both ppl a nice weekend. i leave. as i drive out of the concrete ground warehouse space i feel like leaving a parallel world or smth.
at home, i open the package, i need a boxcutter. i tear off one of the side of the package. instead of a t-shirt and a bandana, i see. pages??? of a book. a book??? i realize that this is, in fact, not my The Hu merch but one of my wtnv books i had ordered two weeks ago. i take the book out. it’s my German copy of wtnv the novel. i let out a laughter in disbelieve. i was rly looking forward to wearing that bandana today to keep my hair out of my face.
#not fandom related#personal log stardate#can you believe i got wtnv instead of a cozy t-shirt???? huff#the hu#wtnv

Doc appointment at 10:30 is messing my morning tf up.
If I can wrap my brain around things then I can wait about 20 extra min to go to the gym, and spend maybe 15 more minutes active in addition to the extra time to get there. THAT'S GOOD! More time and less stress to get things done!
Then after there's still time for Brian and I each to shower & get dressed, and then.... There's still an hour of dead time. We can and likely will go a little early to see if they can take me early, but still. Dead time. Idle time. Waiting room time.
Only one doc ever has said I'm ADHD, and said it based on like 20 minutes of conversation and no other evaluation (testing or medical history). I've had two doctors who've known me for years (10+ each) say no, it's just overlapping traits (one of which did do a brief ADHD prescreen). Plus a third provider, this PA, agrees based on a combo of extensive written history and brief observation that I'm NOT ADHD.
Anyway, ADHD or not, time blindness means most of my morning can't exist until I'm in the appointment itself. Which means here I am, trying to hang upside down on the sofa like everyone believed in me, while also drinking coffee and dealing with a cat violently insistent on sitting on my collar bone no matter how I'm sitting.
