#and maybe it's just because I'm already stressed

[cookiethebirdthing]

Health/Status Bar: This could be useful, but I can already tell when I'm sick. I already know I have chronic conditions that lower my HP? It's useful that it tells me exactly what the condition is and stuff, but I don't think it would be that life-changing. Also, how is it quantifying my health into a single number? I feel like that would require changing how my health works, too.

Quest Menu: Where is the information coming from? Life doesn't have things that objectively needs to be done. There's things that people think should or need to be done, things society demands of me, things that are important for my health based on our current understanding of how to stay healthy, etc. So, is it just some invisible sentient being who is telling me what it thinks I should do? I already get that enough from my mom.

Checkpoint: Only having a single checkpoint is just extremely limiting. I can only do that once, and then I no longer have any powers. I'd either use it and then regret it forever or never use it and then it was useless.

Inventory Slots: Definitely really useful, even if I don't think it would come up that often in my life since I can't go outside. There's definitely times it would be fantastic.

Damage Resistance: I can't think of this being that useful unless something unlucky happens to be.

Rapid Cooking/Eating: I don't think this would help me with difficulties eating at all since I still need the food around, and I can always eat snacks if I have that around.

Skip Cutscene: Depending on what counts as a cutscene, I figure cooking would be included. So, it's just a better version of that ability. It would help a lot with showering, brushing teeth, cleaning, etc.

Fast Travel: Very useful but pretty limited. I would get so stressed about moving markers because it's so hard to go outside, let alone far away places. Since I would have to travel all the way back to the far away place to put the marker back if I moved it. I think this is still extremely useful regardless.

Double Jump: Literally not useful for me.

I'm not sure the scope of powers I could choose, but a video game time control ability that lets me stop time, at least, would be pretty ideal. Maybe infinite quicksave and quickload (that automatically loads if I die), assuming I could delete all my quicksaves if I didn't want a backup at some point.

*Just you/the person answering this poll, not the entirety of humanity

Health bar: Shows how much “hp” you have, compared to you at maximum health. Lower hp=closer to death. Has a list of temporary ailments (diseases, injuries etc) affecting you, how much damage they deal, and how long it lasts before going away. If you have a chronic condition that affects your health/will stay with you most/all of your life, max hp (compared to current hp) is reduced. Also shows a stamina bar as well

Quest menu: Guides you on how to do things, from lifechanging achievements to everyday activities. Detailed step-by-step instructions, accurately prioritized, and a “hint menu” in case you get stuck

Checkpoint: From here on out, you can set one “point” (a specific date, time, and location- you must be at that point when you set it) that you revert to when you die, retaining the exact state you were at but with the addition of knowledge that you have at time of death. Once you set the

point you cannot change it, and you must revert there when you die. An extra life, essentially

Inventory Slots: You can store items (you must be able to physically hold them/carry them with ease) in a pocket dimension, and take them out/put them back at any time. Space is limited but is based on diversity of items vs number of items. Carrying bags, purses etc increase how many inventory slots you have

Damage Resistance: A single strike from a sword won’t kill you, tripping and falling won’t send you to a hospital, what would instantly kill the average person would typically just be an inconvenience to you. (You are not immortal, you just now have Video Game Logic ™ applied)

Rapid cooking/eating: You need a method of cooking and the required ingredients, but for some foods you can cook them instantly (it is still perfectly cooked and safe to eat) and you can instantly eat things (you can’t sense the texture/flavor, you still get nutritional benefits/detriments, foods eaten in this manner cannot harm you from overeating (but you are still restricted from eating further/you have a sense of fullness))

Skip Cutscene: If you have had the same conversation multiple times, or have a task that you do repetitively, you can skip it once a day

Fast Travel: In addition to the location where you wake up (if your sleep schedule is irregular, the location where you are at during midnight), you can select three other locations to teleport to. You can teleport three times a day. You can move around your teleport markers, but you have to physically go there to access them/move them

Double Jump: Self explanatory, you can jump twice, with slightly less height but half the stamina used as your regular jumping ability, and timing your second jump properly can significantly reduce the damage taken from high falls

Alright everyone shut up because I got the dumbest danny phantom fanfic idea and I need someone, or a few someone's, to either encourage or discourage my insanity!

Basically; Danny needs some extra credit in Lancer's class, and Lancer, who does want Danny to succeed, comes up with a suggestion. The school is doing a musical and Lancer wants Danny to audition, he doesn't have to win the audition, he just has to try out and Lancer will give him some extra credit. Danny doesn't really wanna do but he really really needs that extra credit so; sjsoyheksgd fine, he'll do it. It's only going to be the drama kids, who are actually super encouraging, during the auditions, maybe a few of their friends, and the teachers. It'll be fine...

Thing is, Dash Overheard, and smelling a chance to make fun of Danny, he talks the other A-Listers into sitting in on auditions so they can film what is sure to be an utter train wreck.

We get to the day, Danny is super nervous and annoyed the A-Listers are there, but he's already on stage so Ghost Darn It, he has no other choice. So, he sings. And he's good?!

Like he's not overnight popstar good but for a 15 year old with no training and only a week or so to practice, he's pretty good. And he also kinda, had fun doing it. Like he knows he can't commit to the actual musical, what with the ghost buisness, but he did kinda have fun and it's the most stress free he's had in a while so it was cool experience.

Now, I'm just not sure what song he should use for the audition. If I wanted to with angst/mild serious I feel like Michael in the Bathroom or Waving Through the Window would fit Danny painfully well. But~ as for going full crack; then Play Rehearsal for Danny alone, but Danny could also rope Tucker and Sam into helping him and they do either: Candy Store, Sincerely Me, or Two Player Game.

I would so love to read fics from you exploring Carlos as a parent! There's so much to unpack with the very rapid journey Carlos has gone on to become a father, plus the realities of his situation - he has to balance a very stressful job, where he sees some awful things, with fatherhood, and TK spends more time with Jonah and has a blood relationship with him that Carlos doesn't have.

And Jonah is wonderful and adorable, but being a parent is HARD! And he probably has some trauma from all that's happened to him that TK and Carlos will need to help him deal with.

omg this is very sweet, thank you! i completely agree, everything happened so fast (even with the five month timeskip, it feels like so much to go through in such a short time), and like you said, carlos would be balancing his job and fatherhood in a way that would definitely be a huge adjustment.

and what you said about tk's relationship with jonah versus carlos's is such a good point, because the truth is there is really no difference, and carlos is in no way any lesser because he's not blood-related to jonah, but i can definitely see him worrying about whether they'll be able to connect. whether jonah will like him, whether he'll handle him well, etc. those irrational worries that feel way bigger than they ever really are but send you spiraling anyway, kind of thing

and yes!! parenthood is so hard especially because jonah's already been through so much. i'm sure there are pros and cons of skipping the infant years and going straight to having a toddler that i'm not well-versed in but overall it would be such a massive adjustment. i can't remember how old jonah was when gwyn died and maybe he doesn't remember that but he definitely would struggle a lot with his dad just being.... gone, only able to visit infrequently. that's so confusing for a 3 year old. them having to explain why he can't see his dad whenever he wants like he used to be able to would be a lot, for sure.

Your past with Ellie

P3

Mention of: weed,cigarette,alcohol,curse words

So what do you say?

Maybe it turns out good hm? Ever thought of that? Dina moves closer to you,caressing your back as a way of comfort

You just humm as you think about it. Turns out good? How could this turn out good? How could partying without your girlfriend(you hope she is still your girlfriend......(awkward)) turn out good?

I don't have nothing to wear to this club. You shrug ur shoulders How baaaad I have to skip this one. You say sarcasticly rolling your eyes

Oooohh nononono. I can help with that sweets no worries. C'mon let's see what we got to work with.

Well I still don't have any money with me-

Don't you worry about that we got that covered up already

Bot Dina and Jesse nod at that

Well...looks like you got no other choice. But why would you be really the one who drowns in depression? You were the one who was cold to the other? Who lied? Fuck no you weren't. So fuck this. One night can't hurt right?

After hours of searchin',the dress u and Dina choose was.. brave. Tummy,chest,hips,shoulders exposed. The dress barely covered ur cheeks down there. Ur hair and makeup was done already.

Ready to go? Abby couldn't make it because her father got really sick and she takes care of him. But she wishes she was here. And Jesse is almost in the club.

You looked into the mirror one more time. And you liked what u saw. Yeah,the dress was brave. But. We live once right?

You and Dina entered the club. The "fine ass music" as Abby said. Wasn't that nice. But it wasn't soo bad. It was bearable.

You saw jesse at the counter. He just rolled down a shot. But he looked stressed? And than Jesse saw Dina first. And than u. His face..screamed panick. What the fuck?

Jesse quickly walked towards you to.

Uuhhhh.. well this club sucks isn't it? We.. We should find another one! Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah another is a good idea. Iiii know just one right down the corner a few block away that one is way better than this shithole. He said panickly. He's whole body screamed that he is lying straight up.

Dina grabbed Jesse by the arm and pulled him away.

Okay what the fuck is wrong with these?

You sighed a bit because you didn't plan to be alone. But here we are.

You made your way to the counter and asked for a shot. That should help to ease ur nerves.

You looked back to Dina and Jesse. And she looked really pissed at something that Jesse said. You shooked ur head. And made ur way to the dance floor. To ease ur mind from everything that happened. To finally try to relax a bit.

But as u finally relaxed to the music and dance to the music somebody touched ur shoulder.

Oooohh hell no your not here for that. You quickly looked back at the man who was still touching ur shoulder.

Hey. You seem kinda stressed doll.

Uhh thanks I'm good. U said as u pushed his hands off of you.

Do you wanna smoke some weed? Not with me though don't look at me like that but you can buy some right there. He said nodding in one of the rooms way.

Well you were here to relax and forget everything right? And u have just enough money to buy one. You nodded to the guy and he showed you the way.

He opened the door for u. You walked in not even glancing up at what room are you even in searching ur little bag for ur wallet.

Hello. You greeted anyone who was in the room. Well u suppose someone must be in the room bc u are still searching for that damn fucking wallett. Where even is it? You remember u put ur wallet in there.

Searching for something?

Ooohh hell no this can't be happening right now you said to yourself. There's no fucking way-

Oh you got that right. 🥲 It was a bit stressful, and though I didn't want to admit it, a bit scary too. But I made it out of the procedure with flying colors and am already on the mend! (Yep been dealing with this medical issue since May of last year, but I so appreciate you for those well wishes 💓💓💓)

ahaha your question did not seem like a request, no worries!! I just decided the HC format was the best way to "answer" your question, so why not! For you, I didn't mind one bit. 😘

On this I love getting your insights as a barista -- with Dean I sense a coffee chop au a' brewin'. 😝 And a cookie butter latte sounds amaaaazing! 🤤 (Oh I miss Beau too!! I appreciate you in advance for the reread on TMH. I wanna get back into writing those two 💞)

"what the fuck is oat milk" lmfaoooo 😭 that is probably what he'd say though 🤣 (also i feel like you would not be able to explain that oat milk makes the drink creamier because that man would have an array of jokes to make 💀) but cold brew would be a great choice for him! especially with the higher caffeine percentage lol.

lmfaoo yeah there's no way you're gonna be able to explain that creamy ratio to Benny boy, unless you want a host of disgusting ad libs to go with it. 🤣

also fun fact, i actually do have a regular customer named russell who orders a flat white 🤣 except he gets his with a lot of white chocolate. like a lotttttttt, it concerns me a bit but i'm just there to make the drinks loll

Omg really?! That's too funny loll. Maybe if he's cute you can slip your number in along with that extra white chocolate. 😏

you are the absolute sweetest alex!!💗💗 i started out my day by waiting outside of work for forty minutes in the cold rain because my supervisor was late, and it had only gone downhill from there. but this? not only did it cheer me up but it truly warmed my heart <3 sorry to get sappy on the timeline lol, but you genuinely put in so much thought and effort in your responses, even to all my silly little questions :') i appreciate you very much friend <3 and i'm glad it was a fun question! i was worried it wouldn't make much sense, i was rushing to type it out on my lunch break 😭

Ughh omg that sucks!! I'm so glad this little batch of HCs could turn your day around, hun. Seeing you pop up in my inbox gave me something to take my mind off just laying in my bed all day, so thank you! 💗 I don't like to do things half-heartedly, so if an idea hooks me, I want to give it my full attention.

And it made perfect sense! It's fun to imagine these guys doing domestic everyday things like what they'd order for their coffee fix. Thank you again btw for having Midnight Espresso in mind!! There's a reason why an espresso mug is now part of my blog banner. 😘☕

hiiii, i hope your friday is going well lovely 💞💞 :) how has your week been?💕

i’m currently stuck at work and it’s beeeeeen quite the day already, but you always cheer me up so i have a random question :p

i’m thinking about the scene when dean tried cafe con leche in the midnight espresso-verse (also i’m a barista loll🥲), and he was pleasantly surprised, so it has me wondering;

if they were to get something besides plain coffee, what do you think dean/ben/beau/russell would like to drink if they ordered at a coffee shop?

i always love to hear any and all your thoughts 🙂‍↕️🤍

Hello my lovely! 💞💞 I actually am in recovery this week after having a surgical procedure yesterday, so I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on my TBR reading and the shows I've had on my watchlist. 🤪

Ooh introducing Dean to Cuban espresso was the scene that inspired that whole fic of Midnight Espresso, and ultimately turned it into a whole series of Dean x plus-sized Latina fun!! lol

This is such a fun question though!! You as a barista probably know way more about coffee than I do, but here's my take on these guys' orders...

HEADCANON: What Dean Winchester, Beau Arlen, Soldier Boy (Ben), and Russell Shaw would order at a coffee shop. ☕

Dean Winchester

Why, an espresso of course! 🤎

Cram that little cup full of sugar, and you've got Dean hooked on a heavy-hitter fix that'll keep him up during long research sessions. (It also gives you the opportunity to distract him from said research, give him a taste of another steamy fix. 😘❤️‍🔥)

Beau Arlen

Ooh I feel like he'd protest at first and claim to solely drink Americanos, but he's a basic latte guy.

Hit him with some caramel or hazelnut, and he's happy. But you could also hook him into being a little adventurous with a pistachio or "brown sugar" latte lol. Like most things, Beau is willing to try almost anything once. 😉

Soldier Boy (Ben)

So he's definitely going to be thrown by all the modern selections of coffee. (i.e. "What the fuck is oatmilk?") And how the hell can you get milk out of cashews and almonds?

All the health crazes, "drip" coffee, and milk alternatives are definitely going over his head, or he's mocking them. ("Save that pussy drink for Hughie." 💀)

But one thing he might go for, other than a black coffee, is a nice cold brew, hold off on too much foam -- can't be getting the milkstache, now can he? But he'll like it even better if you make it "Irish." 💚

Russell Shaw

Last but certainly not least, we have Russell! I don't think he's picky about his coffee, considering he probably drinks a lot of free motel coffee. lol

But! I think he'd appreciate a nice flat white at a proper café. It's more robust than a normal cappuccino and less milk, so he'd argue that he's getting more "bang for his buck." 😂

AN: @wvffles Hope you liked this little headcanon, friend, and that it cheers you up! I LOVE me some coffee, so this question with the guys was really fun to contemplate. 😘☕

Australian Rituals / Teeth of God Tour Bingo

Alroighte gwois, let's hear your predictions for the upcoming rituals. I *might* make another bingo (like on Wembley) - even if I don't, let's get them all in one place cus I think it's funny.

If you have something specifically for the Teeth of God Tour (because they are headliners and can do Cooler™ Fancier™ stuff) do specify. Same for strictly Australian Rituals. Some stuff may happen earlier (like when they debuted TMBTE and the new Espera masks), others may only happen on the Tour, so let's just put them all here and see what happens 😗✌️

Please reblog/put on the replies your predictions!! Whether serious or silly, please share!

Mine are:

One of the Vessels (Vessel or ivy OR Espera!!!!) singing onstage with Oli

Kangaroo/koala headbands / Aussie Explorer hat

EUCLID (more for Teeth of God but wouldn't be surprised if earlier)

The Apparition (PLEASE)

The Summoning pushups will return

Older song throwback (please please Sugar or Jaws. TNDNBTG for ToG)

Outfit change for the Vessels (only cus i think Australia is quite hot now innit? poor iv will MELT in that jacket)

NEW VESSEL JEWELLERY

This one I'm not super confident/keen on BUT new Vessel mask with Antlers (more likely on ToG but who knows)

[icewindandboringhorror]

recent things and such~

if one more person tries to talk to me about college, i swear on everything i love, i will explode

[californiaquail]

well boss said reese has no indication of any uti or crystals only a tiny amount of red blood cells which can be caused by the manual expression. coworker insisted there was no point in taking rads to see if he's blocked from the string so going to try some laxaire and hope 😬🤞🏻also then my boss gave me a ride to the bus stop so i didn't have to carry the huge crate which was uncharacteristically nice of him 🤨

[regular-lord-reckoner]

i am so glad this week is finally (almost) over

i had an appointment with my pcp on monday to see about this possible kidney stone situation

they did a urinalysis on me and sure enough i do have some blood in my urine so that plus the pain means it's likely there's a stone, but i'm in a situation again where i haven't had any pain for days so it's like...that's not good !! (especially since this has been going on for a few months at this point !)

they ordered me a ct scan which i had today so i'm hoping maybe sometime tomorrow i'll get the results of that and we can maybe figure out what's going on

i also had a dentist appointment on wednesday but it was just a cleaning and my dentist said everything looks good. it is kinda funny because i was actually supposed to have this appointment months ago but decided to reschedule because i had too much going on that week and so it got pushed out until now and then i end up having even more shit to do this week than i did back then so...oh well !! it's finally done

and tomorrow i've gotta do some of my usual errands (mostly taking the garbage off and getting a few things from the grocery store) and then i think i'll finally be done !! hopefully !!

hope you have a good, restful weekend coming up if you're reading this !! <3

[running-in-the-dark]

kinda disappointed with how this weekend went. I mean, it wasn't bad! but it was our first weekend in the new apartment, and I/we wanted to get a lot done. I already did a lot during the week (a lot for me, not a lot for most people I guess), but there's lots of things that I can't do/can't do on my own, either because I'm too short or not strong enough or I need someone else to hold something or whatever. which realistically just won't get done during the week because my husband works full time, so. it sort of sucks that only one very small, unimportant thing got done. 😔

[goodplace-janet]

please answer this silly little poll of a me who was confused in a history lecture today

[todayisafridaynight]

brother was talking to me about how if you almost die from an extreme-temperature-related incident then your body is just forever fucked towards that temperature and that's why i think kiryu and saejima are weak to ice. i dont know why aoki isn't like that too but ignore that statistic everything else tracks.

[thethingything]

ended up clearing a bunch of stuff off the bed to make it easier to sort stuff out later and I think I feel worse now because our room looks different in a way that for some reason is triggering flashbacks to stuff from years ago and I don't know why
