@chaeryred (also @httpdwaekki cause hehe) i hope you guys like it >< thought it came off a little messy but i still think its pretty cute

DO NOT republish or translate+post my work!

"YAH! IT'S TOO COLD"

"SIT STILL! I JUST HAVE TO WASH IT OUT-"

"NO!!!! MOM!!! HEEEEEEELP-"

After wrestling your boyfriend like a cat taking a bath, you managed to wash the rest of the conditioner out of his hair and wrap his head up in a towel. You sent him to sit on the floor in the living room while you went to grab all your products from your bedroom. Once you returned, you were met with the biggest pout you've ever seen mixed with the nastiest side eye known to man. His head is almost completely wrapped up in a towel, minus the big circle where part of his face peeks out, and his arms are crossed sassily.

You couldn't help but smile and chuckle, shaking your head as you dropped the products and tools on the couch. You sit directly behind him, putting your legs on either side of his shoulders and leaning him into you. He shivers and your heart pangs a little, but you lean forward and wrap your arms around him and rub them soothingly. A quiet 'hmph!' comes from him and you laugh again.

"I'm sorry, baby. You said you wanted to do my hair routine just like me. And I always end it off with rinsing with cold water." Your fingers sneak into the hole in the towel and pull it back some, exposing his cheeks more as well as some of his wet hair. He makes the angry noise again and throws a small fit, turning away from you and tugging the towel back to its previous position in defiance.

You peck his cheek a few times and combine it with a mumbled apology. Then a small smile forms on his face and you start ruffing the towel, rubbing your hands back and forth and using it to poke fun at him while also starting to dry his hair off. Giggles erupt from the both of you as he drops the tough act and reacts to the ticklish feeling, his distinct giggle ringing through your ears in the best way possible.

Once you both have calmed down, and he's no longer feigning distress, you start to gently dry his hair. "I brought a mirror too." His hair is mostly dry and you grab your brush before realizing that Changbin's eyes have been glued to the show on TV. This was supposed to be a learning experience so you wanted him to watch, but it was also endearing to see him trust you so blindly that he resorts to iPad-baby tendencies.

"Are you gonna watch me do it so you can learn, or was this just an excuse for you to get pampered?" You tease, tilting his head back gently so he can look you in the eyes. He smiles apologetically and reaches for the mirror, "Sorry, Bunny. Got a little distracted hehe. I am your apprentice tonight! Teach away, Jagi." You smile widely and lean down again to place a kiss on his lips. One he reciprocates it before fixing his posture and placing the mirror in position.

He then lowers the television down and sits there patiently, allowing you to take him through the steps and using the mirror to peek at what your hands are doing. You start it off by showing him the products and explaining what they do and then tell him how you're supposed to use them, using a strand of his hair as an example.

Each step doesn't take long, thanks to the fact that he memorized the first few steps of your routine; the brushing and cream application. What you did explain was the styling techniques. He could have just left it as is and not done anything, or he could do what you do and finger-coil each strand.

He had seen how you slaved over your hair for over an hour each time you finger-coiled it and was dreading his experience to be similar to that. But thanks to how short his hair was compared to yours, it was a cakewalk. However, when he tried to coil one strand himself, his fingers did manage to get tangled in each other a few times... but you have to experience something to really learn from it! And the texture of the gel you used seemed to drive him crazy, but he got used to it eventually.

Then it was onto drying! You had brought out the diffuser attachment- or.. what Changbin called the "claws of death," for your hair dryer. He had seen you use it countless times before, but it looked like a jumbled mess of things from the outside and he never knew if there was a technique to it or if it was just random movements.

After teaching him the tips and tricks you used for extra volume and just how to diffuse his hair in general on a small section of his hair, you watched proudly as he dried the rest of his hair on his own with little to no problems. You did a dramatic reveal, wiggling your fingers and adding a "Tada~" when he looked into the mirror for the final time.

He stared for a while, eyes tracing the unfamiliar, defined curls on his head. They were pretty, and you have literally never seen his hair like that before. But what really made it worth it was his reaction. A big smile grew on his face and he turned to you, crawling up the couch to give you a big kiss. "Thank you, Bunny."

"Of course, baby. You look good like this." You smiled and admired your handiwork for a while until you remembered that today was supposed to be your wash day in the first place.

"Okay!! Time for me to wash my hair now." You peck him on the lips and playfully shove him onto the couch, running away after. The pitter-patter of his steps chases after you and he wraps his hands around you once the water is turned back on.

"Wait. I want to do it!" He smiles widely despite the unsure face you make. But he's your Binnie, so it's kind of hard not to cave in. You agree and resume the same position he had earlier, sitting on the tile with your neck resting on the edge and your head hovering over the big bowl of the tub. He steals another kiss before gathering your hair products and directing the water to your head.

"Don't worry, Bunny. I'm a professional at this~"

Dystopian Omegaverse AU: Suppressants and Medicine

Suppressants and Medicine are made by the Ministry of Pharmaceuticals, led by Senator Placido Marchesi. The suppressants and medicine are highly important for maintaining a positive mood for all ranks. The citizens start taking them at age five. The suppressants and medication are non-addictive and harmless. Delta Minuses, mainly female, aid in the management and distribution of suppressants and medicine. Each rank has its own based on color and shade. They have nine distinctive appearance types. They are a fish egg-like soft gel pill, a pastille for children, an elixir-like drink, an ointment, a dissolving film, a tablet, a transdermal patch, a serum via injection, and gas via an inhaler.

In General

Pax- An off-white pill that is used for agitation, vertigo, muscle spasms, stiffness, and seizures. It is available for all ranks and it helps to suppress some natural instincts to prevent disorder.

Alphas

Rut Suppressant/Alizone- A silver pill meant to stop ruts in Alpha, mainly unmated, whenever an unmated Omega is around.

Height Suppressant/Topivid- A charcoal tablet that originated from the pills for Alphas in general, where some pills are to stop Alpha’s genitalia from growing inhumanely large. This was created because there were some cases Omegas nearly died or passed out during the consummation with an alpha who had inhumanely large genitalia or stamina.

“Mistress”/Diclotide- A mist-like gas that Alphas would inhale via a hookah, pipe, or cigar. It gives a calming and hallucinogenic effect on the user. Only Titanium-level visitors have access to this.

Deltas

Tutis- A mint green pill that prevents Delta Plus’ aggression from getting worse. Their Gamma Plus spouses would give them whenever there’s an event with other Delta Pluses.

Cafepine- An kelp green film that Delta Minuses take that gives them more energy while preventing their aggression from increasing.

Betas

Cafepine- An kelp green film that Delta Minuses take that gives them more energy while preventing their aggression from increasing.

Aquacor- A teal blue ointment that reduces pain, insomnia, fatigue, and anxiety. It also gets rid of acne, dry and itchy skin, and blackheads. These are used on massages and skin treatments.

Congruo- A sky-blue pill that calms Betas down and relieves stress. There would be Congruo dispensaries in malls, studios, schools, and offices. They can also exist as pastilles for Beta pups.

Gammas

Pudicus/Blitz- A weak heat suppressant only meant for Gamma Plus and some Gamma Minus. It looks like a magenta elixir and would often be taken at the beginning of the day.

Optiprex/Grape- A grape color pill used for leisure and relaxation. Gamma Pluses would take them before their recreation sessions and Gamma Minuses would take them at the breaking of their breaks or after a day of work.

Ibutrim/Frenzy- A strong aphrodisiac medicine that exists either as a gas via incense, injection, or elixir. They come in a Chinese violet color. They are primarily used in the Pleasure Venues for the Gamma Minuses and their clients. Though, there are times when they are used in the Hunting Meadows and Alphas and Delta Pluses Households.

Omegas

Omegas are not allowed to have suppressants but are given three medicine to improve their mood and livelihood.

Alferiva/Mist- A poppy red elixir that is used for aromatherapy. It would help them to remain docile and in bliss. Their aroma lamp would be red with various different styles.

Brimodocin/Frost- A cherry blossom ointment that has a mint feeling. It relieved stress, fades away stretch marks, improves post-partum care, and soothes roughness from breastfeeding.

Clintate/Bliss- A chocolate cosmos antidepressant pill that is given to “tamed” Omegas. It helps them to block away “painful” thoughts and “traumatic” experiences from the Droughtlands.

Pups

Decinam Abatasonide/Sooth- A white oral ointment that helps soothe teething among pups.

Penimane/Jiggy- A white pastille that helps pups to be in bliss and allows them to be more focused on their rank. It can also be in elixir form to mix onto their drinks. This is a part of the female Delta Minus training where they provide jiggies to other pups.

Droughters

Fizz- A light orange injection that Droughters would have. It functions similarly to cocaine. In the Savage Zoos and Menegeries, they are given clean needles.

Boom- An inhalant via water pipe that Droughters use. It functions similarly to heroin. The water pipes are orange with “savage” decorations, such as feathers and beads.

Tourists

Supernova- A yellow psychoactive pill that tourists are given. It functions similarly to Pax and Congruo. It is only available to Gold, Diamond, and Titanium-level tourists. It can also be available in a gas form and can be inhaled via a hookah.

GIUSEPPE VERDI'S DON CARLO AT LA SCALA, DECEMBER 30, 2023

It feels somewhat inappropriate (or bad; or both) to turn into a stubborn remonstrance machine in front of a season opener—when everyone tends to be excited, nervous but high-spirited, positively curious, and wildly enthusiastic. Alas, I don’t think I can sweeten this pill that much; be prepared to endure a long series of mostly disapproving (not to mention monotonous) observations, or skip the whole of it and be back for the next one: either option is perfectly OK with me. Now that the warning bit is done, I’ll say this operatic experience was hurt by two major problems. The first one—it can be fully depicted by a two-word sweeping assessment: wrong language. (Stripping an opera of its original language—a practice that was pretty common in the perilous old days—has been a no-no for a long time. In other words, as a general rule, nobody’s translating Carmen, Lohengrin, Pelléas et Mélisande, or Jenůfa anymore. Yet for some reason, Giuseppe Verdi’s Don Carlos—first performed at l’Opéra [Salle Le Peletier] in 1867—is still considered fair game to this day. That’s what happened here: never mind Don Carlos, enter Don Carlo. It sort of puzzles me, ‘cause it’s truly like swinging the ax from The Shining and tearing a hole in your own boat immediately before the start of a rowing race you want to win).

The second problem has to be the theatrical numbness of the production created by Lluís Pasqual (with Daniel Bianco, Franca Squarciapino, Pascal Mérat as set/costume/light designers). A rigid display of generic, uninterrupted emphasis? That sounds accurate to me. Whatever the storyline would come up with (in fact: within the court of Philip II of Spain, a large-scale tangle of fierce power struggles, frustrated love, thirst for dignity and freedom, family plots, [more than] a touch of sadism, etc.)… Now what… Got it: whatever questions/themes/possibilities the narrative would come up with, the answer was always going to be the same: somebody standing right under the proscenium arch, accompanying his/her/their voice with stereotyped, exaggerated gestures—and nothing else. This kind of approach ended up placing a veil of apathy over this entire Don Carlo: a thick blanket that the orchestra conducted by Riccardo Chailly wasn’t quite able to lift. Their rendition of the score was a little on the automatic/impersonal side. It just didn’t seem to click with the peculiar qualities that separate Don Carlos from the rest of Verdi’s work.

I’m thinking of the slow-burning nocturnal atmosphere; the penchant for ambiguous psychologies; the unhurried investigation/exploration of theoretical issues (whereas actual events are regularly upstaged, or out of the picture altogether). The relatively flat outcome of the King’s famed insomnia-ridden soliloquy (��Ella giammai m’amò! No! Quel cor chiuso m’è» [Act III]) would be a good example of this missed connection. On the other hand, the Quartet from the same act («Ah! Sii maledetto, sospetto fatale,» sung by the King, the Princess Eboli, Rodrigo and Elisabetta) was a spectacular highlight: an aerial exercise in sacred music between Georg Friedrich Händel and Richard Strauss. While all the actors/singers were hindered by the widespread stiffness I’ve tried to describe, I’d say Maria José Siri’s Elisabetta—in love with Don Carlo, but married to his old father, the King—was successful in portraying a transition, almost a metamorphosis. She starts out as a victim. She winds up as a victim, as well: but a completely different one (grown-up; wise in the least welcome way you could imagine). And it all materialized through her singing style. (I’m not sure this qualifies as a fun fact, but the first Marquis of Posa and the first Princess Eboli [Jean-Baptiste Faure and Pauline Guéymard-Lauters] went on to feature, one year minus two days later, same venue, in the world première of Ambroise Thomas’s Hamlet as Hamlet himself and Gertrude).

This means you can indulge in your favorite beverage without worrying about ingesting harmful chemicals, making it a better option for your overall well-being.

Reduced Caffeine Content

Caffeine can be both a blessing and a curse. While it can provide a quick energy boost, excessive consumption can lead to anxiety, insomnia, and other health issues.

As a result, it's an excellent choice for those sensitive to caffeine or looking to reduce their intake.

Rich in Antioxidants

Coffee is renowned for its high antioxidant content, which plays a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals and supporting overall health. Organic decaf coffee beans retain most of these beneficial antioxidants, offering you the same health benefits as regular coffee, minus the caffeine. From boosting your immune system to promoting cell repair, indulging in a cup of organic decaf coffee can be an enjoyable way to boost your antioxidant intake.

Better for Digestion

For some individuals, caffeine can lead to digestive discomfort, including acid reflux and stomach upset. Organic decaf coffee beans provide a gentler option, as they are less likely to trigger these issues. If you have a sensitive stomach or experience gastrointestinal problems with regular coffee, switching to organic decaf could make your coffee-drinking experience more enjoyable.

Environmentally Conscious Choice

Opting for organic decaf coffee beans also demonstrates your support for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Organic farming methods prioritize biodiversity, reduce pollution, and conserve water resources. By choosing organic decaf coffee, you contribute to the well-being of coffee-growing communities and help protect our planet for future generations.

Okay, here we go! Time to see who's ass is kidnapping mine (and no limits to a specific jjba part, it's all free game!)

I'm an infj, demigirl, panromantic asexual! 5'3 but I can throw hands if needed, although I'd prefer not to. My most noticeable physical traits are my incredibly colorful hair, and my fashion. I may be fairly rough and tumble, but I like looking more on the femme side! Like if you took a femme fatale and threw some e-girl in there for flavour. My fashion sense usually sticks me out like a sore thumbs, but if I'm traveling I make a point to mimic fashion trends in the area.

My signs are: Aquarius (sun), Cancer (moon), Capricorn (rising), and Aries (venus)! Oh, and Scorpio mars if that matters! Stubbornness runs in my family, and I'm easily the chaotic good gay cousin you can find in a family gathering.

I'm the mum/older sister-friend for most of my loved ones, but most people and strangers tend to be intimidated by me, my bluntness, and perceived reserved personality, so they tend to avoid me (which is understandable given I have like at least three knives on my person at all times.)

I'm passionate about a lot of things despite keeping them under wraps, but a few of my favorite things and activities are: the ocean, singing, birds of prey, romance-y type things, magic (I am a born and practicing witch, so supernatural experiences are not unusual to me) and exploring.

I hate spiders, anything involving medical needles, dishonesty, and unnecessary cruelty.

According to friends I'm fairly flirty but thats just how I talk with people I'm comfy with. I tend to adjust well to different social situations because I reflect other people's demeanors, but I don't hesitate to call people out on their bullshit even if I do it with a smile. I'm an total adrenaline junkie, but I also have social anxiety, depression, and PTSD(from a sexual assault, sadly).

So I have days where I can't really be touched but most of the time private cuddles and subtle physical touches are how I show trust and affection. My anxiety works pretty much as advertised, much it can easily be overridden by the Mom Friend Instinct. My depression is usually managed pretty well, but I can have serious RSD from my adhd (rejection sensitive dysphoria) which can send me spiraling from there. Speaking of the adhd, it doesn't really show unless you know me well, in which case it shows by:

I do the tangential ideas method of conversation to the irriation of many, I hyperfixate like a motherfucker (which means often I forget to take care of myself for hours or days on end) Executive dysfunction (really complicated but basically my brain literally stops me from doing certain things), and my need for specific types/combos of stimulation to be the most happy/productive

I have insomnia so I often don't sleep until like 6am, and I have a bad habit of sleeping only when my body decides it's had enough of my bullshit.

On the more spicy side of things, I'm a hardcore switch with an affinity for both overstimulation and edging, especially when paired with shibari and praise. As mentioned earlier, I'm asexual, but the high powers above decided to play a joke and not only make me ace, but make me have an absolutely raging libido and *then* give me genophobia from my ptsd ;-;

Dealing with more yandere themes, I'm incredibly paranoid and and easily socially spooked. I know how to use my surroundings to either fight for me, or use them as tools so I can fight myself. I'm also naturally private, but if you manage to find the right buttons or subjects to get me riled up over, it's like a broken dam and it's easier to get me to open up in the future. I'm very good at picking up on vibes from people, and my behavior towards them tends to adjust accordingly. Out of the fight/flight/freeze/fawn reactions, I tend to freeze, but then immediately switch to fight after. I don't have much in the way of proper fighting experience, but I know how to play dirty, and use my usually smaller body to my advantage. I can sprint like hell, but the moment I stop, I'm out like a light because I have the lung endurance of a hamster with asthma.

I hope this wasn't too much information, I just wanted to make sure all my bases were covered. Feel free to just skim or pick out what matters!Thank you so much for doing this, I'm so excited to see what u think!

-✨

Hi anon! Thanks for sending in the match up request 💙

I ship you with Jotaro! I personally think he'd be the best for you☺️

He would find your motherly figure to be attractive. He's not outwardly affectionate or good with demonstrating his feelings so he admires someone who can, like you!

Your passion for the ocean will make his heart soar. Despite being quiet, I think that'll get him talking more than usual and he'd love to share this passion. It's quite niche

I think he would want to hear you sing when visiting the ocean together. Yes, he'll isolate you like any other yandere, but visits to the ocean are the only exception since its a shared passion

Private cuddles and subtle physical touches are totally fine with him. He's not big on PDA and tbh he'd also show his affection like that too (not like you have a choice anyways since you're being held captive)

He'd stay up with you with at night cuz I hc that he has insomnia as well because of his PTSD from his time in Egypt

Lastly, Jotaro would take care of you and handle any issues regarding your health. He's pretty grounded (minus the unhealthy yandere obsession) so he'd look after your health and make sure you're staying healthy and hydrated!

“It’s not like Kirishima had come all this way to U.A. to immediately break the promise he made to himself upon arrival.

It’s just that Bakugou is as feral as they come, and the moment Kirishima recognizes it’s fear he felt crawling up his spine that day, he makes it his personal mission to face it head-on until it’s gone.”

(Or: Being friends with Bakugou Katsuki is anything but a linear experience. Kirishima Eijirou would have it no other way.)

Tags: Kirishima POV, Developing Friendships, Kamino Arc, Kidnapping & Aftermath, Hurt/Comfort, Bakugou Gets A Hug

Chapter 1. Chapter 2. Chapter 3. Content warning for kidnapping, aftermath of violence. Chapter 5. Chapter 6. Chapter 7. Chapter 8. Chapter 9.

***

Nitro!! (Baku 💣💥)

i’m gonna die (sent 19:08)

no seriously i’m this 👌🏻 close to losing it bro (sent 19:08)

aizawa’s voice is so zzzz and it’s like sir,, i’m begging,,,, (sent 19:09)

a little bit of energy. just a little bit (sent 19:09)

A nudge to his side, somewhat urgent.

shit brb (sent 19:10)

“Dude.”

Kirishima keeps his voice down to a hiss, shooting a glance at Aizawa’s turned back just in case. Hidden behind his pencil case, his phone shows Bakugou has read his messages – near-immediately, as always – before Kirishima locks the screen. His own face is reflected on sleek, innocent black.

Next to him, Kaminari is looking at him like he’s lost his mind. “Don’t dude me, dude”, he whispers back. “Texting in Aizawa’s class? D’you have a death wish?”

Next to Kaminari, Mina leans over her desk, clearly curious and uncaring of her notes crinkling quietly under her elbows. “You? Kiri, paragon of wholesomeness and sunshine, breaking the rules? Lemme guess, it’s because of Bakugou.”

Next to Mina, Sero joins the fray with a muted headshake. “So brave yet so reckless. Truly inspiring.”

“You can say that again. That guy’s scary, man.” That’s Kaminari again. He leans in conspiratorially, nodding at Kirishima’s phone. “You got Blasty’s number? How? He almost bit my head off when I invited him to the 1-A chat.”

“Uh, yeah? We’re besties. But guys…”

If they were anywhere else, Kirishima would let out a whine. All he wanted to do was keep himself awake by texting his bro, is that such a crime? Especially since Bakugou’s the only one of ‘em who is actually allowed out there, where the fun stuff is happening. It’s downright cruel to have a new challenge dangled in front of their eyes like the juiciest steak only to be dragged away to the equivalent of plain steamed broccoli. Or something.

Point is: Kirishima’s bored enough he could cry and Aizawa, bless his insomnia-plagued soul, is making it about a thousand times worse with his monotone mumbling while he continues to write whatever-the-fuck in chalk to illustrate his point.

Three mouths open simultaneously in what Kirishima knows will be a too-loud bout of teasing – a frantic gesture of his hand to shut up, shut up, shut up has identical grins bursting on his friends’ faces.

Grins that disappear the instant the familiar sense of Aizawa’s quirk washes over them. Uh oh.

Aizawa doesn’t even have to say anything. Not even a brief pause registers in his lecture yet Kirishima snaps to attention so hard his buttcheeks clench as he furiously scribbles down what’s on the board. Some sort of… diagram? (It’ll make sense later, Kirishima hopes. And if it doesn’t, there’s always his equally draconic tutor-slash-best-friend he can poke into helping him eventually.)

After a semester at U.A., everyone in 1-A is whipped enough that not a single word is breathed between them for a good fifteen minutes. Aizawa talks, they take notes.

Then the adrenaline wears off and Kirishima finds himself drifting once more, fingers automatically flicking the home button. There, over Crimson Riot’s confident grin, three new messages.

Nitro!! (Baku 💣💥)

pay attention (received 19:14)

ffs (received 19:14)

hope aizawa murdered your ass (received 19:16)

No surprises there. Well, the fact that Bakugou has deigned to reply just before a training exercise kind of is, and he even triple-texted which makes a sappy part of Kirishima’s brain think he must’ve rubbed off on him over the past months. The day Bakugou Katsuki discovers emojis can’t be far off now and it will be Kirishima’s greatest achievement to date.

He bites his lip to suppress an amused noise at that. Ignoring the incredulous stare from Kaminari to his right, Kirishima types.

Nitro!! (Baku 💣💥)

haha! i lived bitch (sent 19:32)

minus the bitch askdjfhsk sry (sent 19:32)

i’m just tired af lol (sent 19:32)

how’s things on ur end tho? (sent 19:34)

no asses left unkicked i’m sure (sent 19:34)

👊🏻💥💥 (sent 19:35)

Kirishima gets about a solid second to feel good about furthering his pro-emoji agenda before his phone is snatched away by rigid, white cloth. Wide-eyed, his gaze is met by a flat expression that exudes more exhaustion than any human should rightfully have to feel.

“Kirishima”, Aizawa says, as calm as ever. “How kind of you to lend me your attention.”

Lord have mercy. Whichever hell Aizawa is about to unleash on him, Kirishima will be in it for a while. And when that’s over, it’ll be Bakugou’s turn to have a field day with it.

Somehow, Kirishima is actually looking forward to that last part.

Then, a voice rings out in their heads. Aizawa jumps into motion. The villains strike.

Afterwards, all Kirishima can do is stand there and watch the forest burn. His phone is silent, held between fingers that won’t stop trembling no matter what he does. He unlocks, checks, locks, only to do it all over again a few minutes or seconds later.

Around him, everything is spinning out of control. Reality is too loud, too bright, already overwhelming where it waits to be acknowledged beyond the soothing green interface of his chat with Bakugou.

The messages are still there. Marked read until they aren’t, and Kirishima stares at that subtle difference like it’s the last thing tethering him to the ground. Blue tick, his best friend is fine. Grey tick–

Bakugou let Kirishima take a photo of him, once. Kirishima had complained about his profile picture being that creepy default silhouette, especially once they started texting on a daily basis. So Bakugou sighed and leaned over the tiny table of the café, his chin propped on one hand and his coffee in the other. He’d kept still just long enough for the shutter to go off and called him a clingy bastard right after.

In the soft morning light, there’d been something warm in his typical glare. It’s still there, tucked away in the top left corner of the screen. Fond, red eyes, looking straight at Kirishima ever since.

Higher and higher, the flames reach for the sky with greedy, cobalt fingers, bright enough to take the stars with them. And Bakugou?

Bakugou is gone.

Nitro!! (Baku 💣💥)

hey (sent 23:01)

it’s a long shot but (sent 23:03)

are u there? (sent 23:03)

these are going thru so ur phone is on and i thought (sent 23:08)

idk (sent 23:08)

just hold on we’re coming for u (sending…)

wait (sending…)

oh (sending…)

Bakugou is quiet.

When all is said and done, injuries patched up and police statements given, Kirishima waits and Bakugou looks… tired. Small. Glancing back at the precinct with eyes a little too wide, a little too hesitant to truly belong to him.

Whatever he’s searching, if he finds it or not – Kirishima can only guess as Bakugou’s shoulders slump further and he mutters, “Let’s just go.”

In retrospect, he was probably talking to his parents. The Bakugous came for their son in a car as expensive as they come, white with chrome highlights and an interior clad entirely in tasteful, beige leather; it’s an aesthetic that’s the antithesis to Katsuki’s. Their expressions are full of love, though, brows drawn in concern carefully left unspoken. His father opens the back door for him first, going for his own in the front, while his mother ruffles Bakugou’s hair within the one-second-window he allows for the touch before shrugging it off.

“Welcome back, brat. We missed ya.”

Familiar phrases laden with far too much weight. From the outside in, it’s just that: Mildly exasperated parents picking up their kid after some school thing that dragged on into the night, or perhaps a late hangout with a friend. No one acknowledges the nightmare-ish three days they’ve left behind by the merit of time passing and the world spinning on and nothing else – the countless people injured or dead, an entire district torn asunder in a conflict much bigger than any of them, especially Bakugou.

Bakugou, who shuffles onto the backseat without saying much of anything. It’s only after Kirishima trails after him and Bakugou’s eyes meet his own over his shoulder that Kirishima realizes that’s what he’s doing.

Then Bakugou’s gaze softens and he kicks the door of the car open wider. “Um”, Kirishima pipes up, the noise of keys clinking together drawing his attention to one Bakugou Mitsuki. “Is it okay if I…?”

She snorts and ruffles his hair, too. “Kid, after what you did tonight, a ride home is the least I can do for ya. C’mon.”

Kirishima bows politely, a mumble of “Thanks, ma’am” waved away immediately. A moment later, Kirishima’s hand is being grabbed and he’s dragged inside. “Get a move on”, Bakugou mumbles, staring pointedly until Kirishima rights himself and digs for the seatbelt with his free hand. The click of the clasp snapping in is oddly loud in the ensuing silence.

It doesn’t last. The moment the engine purrs to life and the lights go off, a heavy guitar riff screeches from cleverly hidden speakers in perfect surround sound and Kirishima jumps. He’s the only one in the car to do so.

“Whoops, my bad”, says Bakugou’s mom as she turns the music down the slightest amount, her smirk – so familiar and yet not – clearly visible in the rear-view mirror. Next to her, Bakugou’s dad chuckles and shakes his head.

Bakugou himself is turned towards the window, the hand against his chin barely hiding the tiny smirk there. Kirishima lets him have it. Anything that’ll replace that lost expression from earlier is good in his books.

“So. Eijirou, right? Nice to finally meet ya.” Mrs. Bakugou checks in with him via the mirror. Her hand rests on the gear selector. “Where to? We’ll bring you home first. I’m sure your parents are worried.”

And oh fuck, Kirishima hasn’t even thought that far ahead yet. When he snuck out of the house a lifetime ago, all his mind was able to process was getting to Bakugou, saving Bakugou, bringing Bakugou back. As much as both his mothers are angels in their own right, they’re also easily worried and twice as buff as him. There haven’t been many occasions which called for them to throw down for their son but they totally would if given half the chance.

If they catch wind of even a fraction of what Kirishima got up to tonight, someone will have to pay. Kirishima’s willing to bet his most prized, limited-edition Crimson Riot figurine that that someone will end up being all of U.A., nationally famous pro heroes or not.

Before any of that can make it out of his mouth, Kirishima’s hand is squeezed and… Oh. Bakugou’s still holding it. Their skin isn’t touching; Kirishima’s sleeve has been pulled down to prevent that.

(It’s one of those things Bakugou does, tracking who and what gets in direct contact with his sweat and how to neutralize it in time. It makes Kirishima’s chest ache that, despite everything that happened, he is still aware of small things like that.)

“He’s crashing at ours tonight”, Bakugou tells his parents rather gruffly. Still looking out the window like there’s nothing unusual about that at all, and Kirishima gapes at him in complete and utter surprise. Bakugou’s grip only tightens.

“Got a problem with that?”

Just like that, Kirishima finds himself able to process speech. “Nope! Not at all. Uh, that is– Mrs. Bakugou, Mr. Bakugou, can I?”

Bakugou’s parents look similarly caught off-guard. To their credit, they merely blink and look at each other, shrugging. Again, it’s the mother who speaks. “That’s Mitsuki and Masaru to you, kid. Let’s go home, then.”

And that’s that. They set off, the car’s movement a quiet thrum that’s drowned out by complicated drum solos and vocals barely scraping past outright growling. Any other day, Kirishima would’ve been ecstatic to finally get to meet the Bakugous. He’d hoard bits and pieces of knowledge about them – such as the fact that Katsuki’s taste in music runs in the family, what the hell – like a dragon does gold coins. The notion that Bakugou invited him to their first sleep-over ever would be the biggest treasure on that pile, for sure.

Because Bakugou Katsuki is anything if not cautious: with his quirk, with his time, with his trust. Because, after days of pacing his room and worrying himself sick and crying until exhaustion took him out, their plan worked.

They pulled it off, Bakugou is back and alive, and Kirishima’s allowed to stay by his side a little bit longer.

He’s here because Bakugou wants him to be and that… feels better than Kirishima can properly put into words. So, no, he doesn’t boast about it, he doesn’t have the energy to – but Kirishima notes and appreciates it nonetheless, relief forming a ball of warmth and light that radiates within him like a tiny sun got stuck between his lungs and his heart. Bit by bit, it melts the tension off Kirishima’s bones until all he can grasp is the steady presence of Bakugou’s hand in his and how heavy his eyelids feel.

Kirishima could sleep for a week straight and still crave a nap afterwards. Probably.

There’s something he has to do before he crashes, though. With a gentle squeeze, he frees his hand to grab his phone and winces at the dozens of unread messages and missed calls that greet him. Both the group he has with his family as well as the one for 1-A have been running hot most of the night, reducing his battery to a pitiful 12%.

Opening up the chat with his moms, Kirishima scrolls to the bottom of the increasingly worried barrage of texts and hesitates, his fingers hovering over the keypad. Once he starts typing, he’ll have about a minute before shit really hits the fan.

💪🏻Kirishima Power 💪🏻

guys i’m so sorry!!! (sent 21:58)

i know ur worried and stuff and i swear i’ll explain later ok?? (sent 21:58)

just wanna let u know i’m safe!! staying over at baku’s tonight (sent 21:58)

he’s here and safe too (sent 21:58)

🙏🏻🙏🏻 (sent 21:59)

He pauses then, reading that last part over and over again. Safe. Safe, safe, safe. A smile cracks Kirishima’s lips apart and it remains there, steadfast through the flood of new messages rolling in.

Bakugou’s room is both everything Kirishima expected it to be and at the same time… not.

It’s huge, for one, the typical bed-wardrobe-desk setup expanded by a couch and a beanbag, a TV with a variety of game systems hooked up to it, a handful of shelves filled to the brim with books and manga and oh, a whole freaking drum set taking up a corner by itself. The walls are plastered with band posters and signed set lists and – less blatant but still there – the odd All Might merch Kirishima knows Bakugou would strangle him for mentioning, so he doesn’t.

What comes out of his mouth is: “Dude! I didn’t know you played drums. That’s so cool!”

Everything is kept in the triad of black-orange-green Kirishima recognizes from a certain hero costume. A few discarded shirts aside, it’s really tidy. So much so that Kirishima feels ashamed of the state of his own room just by seeing this.

The feeling is compounded by Bakugou picking up those shirts and throwing them in the hamper first thing, a quiet tch indicating he’s annoyed by it. Kirishima isn’t up to outing himself as an unrepentant walking mess in comparison – instead, he makes a beeline for the bookshelf with the manga, eyes drawn to a row of covers he’d recognize in a heartbeat.

“Wha– I’ve been looking for these for ages! They’re sold out every time I try to catch up on ‘em.”

A short glance at Bakugou is answered with a shrug and an eye-roll: It’s Bakugou-speak for do whatever the hell you want. Kirishima pulls out the volume he stopped at and leafs through it.

It’s meant as a distraction for Bakugou, a space for him to drop the put-together façade and breathe without people constantly fussing over him. It’s honestly what Kirishima would rather be doing right now (exploring his best bro’s room be damned) but it’s not what Bakugou needs. Well, what Kirishima thinks he needs.

It’s hard to get a read on him without the constant snark and pointed glares. With some dinner in their bellies and Bakugou’s parents now safely downstairs, the expression that fits nowhere on the Angry Bakugou Face catalogue is back. Kind of uncomfortable and so… absent.

Kirishima is really starting to hate that expression.

It’s entirely accidental that Kirishima actually gets into reading. One chapter turns to three, turns to five, and the troubles and worries whirling ever-tighter in his chest ease for a bit until–

Woosh. A soft, balled-up something knocks against the back of his head. Kirishima startles and almost drops the manga, a vaguely alarmed noise stopped short by the sight of Bakugou in sweats and a well-worn, black shirt. His hair is wet. Wild as ever. At Kirishima’s feet: A similar outfit including a towel.

“Bathroom’s that way. Leave your clothes out by the door, I got special detergent for the nitro. Shampoo and shit’s in the shower, there’s a toothbrush for you by the sink. Use it.”

Kirishima opens his mouth.

Bakugou sighs. “It’s just a fucking toothbrush, Kiri. Wreck it for all I care.”

Kirishima closes his mouth. He nods. His phone is quickly dug out of his pocket and set aside, then he slips out to shower.

A good fifteen minutes later, he opens the door to let out a gust of steam and sees his clothes are gone. The hallway is empty, half-lit by the light coming from downstairs. The Bakugous have been as nonchalant about their spontaneous guest as Bakugou himself; even so, Kirishima tries not to linger or make too much noise as he sneaks back to Bakugou’s room.

“Baku. I’m back.”

Bakugou gives him a grunt of acknowledgement from where he’s fitting some sheets over the couch, folded out to provide a decently sized bed. There’s a pillow and a pile of blankets next to him, wrapped in fresh linen as well. It’s unlikely he’s stopped doing stuff since Kirishima left and if he is about ready to crash in five to ten minutes, he can’t imagine how Bakugou is doing right now.

Y’know, the guy who just survived being kidnapped by Japan’s newest and most notorious villain menace. No amount of pretense can make that simple fact undone.

Kirishima pads over to help, the offer to take over already on his lips but– Too late. The last corner is already being tucked in and laid flat with grim-faced efficiency. Left with nothing else to do, Kirishima sits down on the very edge, eyes downcast and fingers fiddling with the hem of his borrowed shirt. There’s some sort of band logo on it, an English word written in that typical death-metal-font that looks like someone dumped a bunch of white sticks in a pile and called it a day.

It’s soft. A little loose and frayed around the edges.

“Hey, Baku?”

Taking the blankets, Bakugou dumps them in Kirishima’s lap. “Mh?” He makes to step away and Kirishima doesn’t think, just reaches out and catches the back of his shirt.

“Dude, seriously. Just… sit down for a minute. Please?”

And Bakugou… listens. He stops, he frowns at Kirishima for a moment like he’s trying to figure out what his deal is, he sighs like he’s been presented with the world’s most aggravating puzzle – and then he tells Kirishima to scooch. “What? I’m not gonna sit on the fucking floor”, he says.

Kirishima can’t keep the relief off his face as he gladly makes room on the couch, leaning against its arm and tucking his legs in. Once Bakugou has settled, cross-legged with an elbow propped on the backrest, Kirishima throws the blanket over both of ‘em. Might as well get comfortable while they still can.

“Okay.” He steels himself with a long, slow breath. “I know you hate this kinda thing and we’re both tired and… stuff. Still, though: Are you okay?”

Bakugou gives him a look, which– Okay, fair. It’s a dumb question with an obvious answer. Kirishima doesn’t back down, though, humming to buy himself some time to rephrase.

“Like… It’s fine if you’re not. Okay, I mean. And if you’d rather go the fuck to bed and not think about this for a while that’s fine, too. But that was pretty rough and you’ve been, um, quiet. And stuff. So, I’m kinda worried. Y’know?”

Kirishima pauses. A bit lower, he mumbles: “And I missed you. So yeah.”

At some point, he dropped his gaze to his hands, limp and useless in his lap. Kirishima swore not to be a coward anymore but it’s hard, to speak and ask about things in full awareness he has no fucking clue what he’s doing.

All he wants is for Bakugou to be okay. That’s all that matters, at the end of a day like this.

“I’m not”, Bakugou says, tentatively. Like he’s making up his mind as he goes. “I’m not gonna waste your time with ‘I’m fine’. I’m not. This shit’s fucked up.” And again he sighs, sounding so fucking tired Kirishima’s heart squeezes in sympathy.

“I haven’t slept in three fucking days; my shoulders are killing me from using my quirk and sitting chained to that stupid chair and whatever the fuck else. The League scouted me specifically because they thought I’d make a good villain and fuck them for that. Fuck them. But it’s just… It’s whatever. It doesn’t matter.”

Whatever Kirishima expected, it’s not that. He looks up and into Bakugou’s eyes and–

He can’t mean that, can he? Kirishima searches his face for evidence to the contrary, traces the tension around Bakugou’s mouth and the exhaustion smudged under his eyes and the line between his brows, growing deeper under Kirishima’s scrutiny. It all reads defeat. It hurts.

They won, right? A childish voice within Kirishima can’t help but cling to that even as he looks back down. They won, and things are supposed to get better when you win.

“People got hurt. People died, Kiri. Heroes, too.” Bakugou takes a shaky breath, a hand going to his hair and rubbing it roughly. “Fucking… Best Jeanist was there and nobody at the precinct wanted to tell me if he’s alive or dead or what. All of Kamino Ward is fucking gone and All Might–”

Bakugou’s voice cracks right down the middle and it hurts. Like there’s a beast tearing through Kirishima’s chest to rip out his heart and throw it to the floor, stubbornly beating as it bleeds out.

Kirishima wants to say something. Anything. All he can hear is Bakugou’s breathing but it’s all wrong, off-rhythm and thread-bare and upset, and any doubt what that means is erased as Bakugou’s hand clenches on the sheets and he sniffs, wet on the exhale.

“Baku–”

“Don’t. Kiri, don’t–”

He’s always been like that, ordering him around and demanding things when politeness dictates to ask for them instead. His tone is as close to pleading as Kirishima’s ever heard from Bakugou, though, and it twists him up inside to the point he feels distantly nauseous.

“Don’t look.” Bakugou isn’t supposed to sound like that. Not now, not ever. “Okay? Don’t f-fucking– Don’t look at me right now.”

“Okay”, Kirishima says. “I won’t.” His own voice is a mess as well, trembling all over the place. “I won’t, Nitro. I won’t.”

You’re safe, is what he wants to tell him. It’s okay, you’re safe now. That’s not what Bakugou is asking of him. Kirishima can’t stop himself from crying because it’s always been hard not to when the people he loves are doing it, but… He tries. For Bakugou, he’ll always try.

Through eyes heavily clouded by tears, he sees Bakugou’s hand tighten, knuckles going white and bloodless. Painfully tense, and Kirishima can’t stand the sight of that, either.

He shuffles a little closer to place his hand over that fist, careful to only touch the back of Bakugou’s hand. Kirishima whispers, “I’m here”, and Bakugou audibly swallows. He lets him slip his fingers in-between his own.

Holding on, just as he did in the car and when they met in mid-air, that desperate instance that decided whether he would make it out alive or not.

Bakugou holds on even as he breaks for good and his shoulders shake with his sobs. As he continues to breathe in gulps of air that sound strangled and desperate, through tears that leave a pattern of uneven dots on the blanket. By morning they will be gone without a trace: The sun will come up, the world will continue to travel around it, and time will reveal the road they walk on as they walk it, step by step by step.

Just because it’s meant to pass doesn’t make this moment any less real. Any less important. Kirishima sits there and listens to his best friend cry. He remembers days spent without him and the mad dash to save him. He thinks of dumb questions and obvious answers.

It’s hard to tell if this is one of them, so he gathers all his courage and asks: “Katsuki. Can I hug you?”

Just like last time, Bakugou doesn’t say anything. He laughs, a watery, humorless thing – and he pulls at Kirishima’s shirt to crush him to his chest. His arms wind around Kirishima’s neck, Bakugou’s face pressing against his hair where Kirishima won’t be able to see him.

It’s fine. Kirishima’s great at hugs; he can totally work with that. Clenching his eyes shut, he adjusts his grip around Bakugou’s waist so he can rub his back, following the bumps of his spine. Up and down, over and over. Bakugou goes boneless in their embrace, not about to let go anytime soon and neither will Kirishima.

Eventually, Kirishima tucks his head against Bakugou’s shoulder, blinking sleep from his eyes. Safe. He doesn’t fight the sharp-toothed smile on his lips. Bakugou mumbles, “Fucking sap”, nearly drowned out by their collective sniffling.

It sounds a whole lot like thank you. Kirishima’s smile only grows.

depression vitamins

A short list of supplements that help me manage anxiety and depression

SAM-e

Check out this article in the psychiatric times

SAM-e can be as effective as prescription drugs without the side effects

It has worked for treatment-resistent depression

You may see improvement in as little as 2 weeks

Warning: If you have bipolar symptoms and prone to manic episodes, SAM-e may not be right for you. Please talk to your doctor before trying this.

Take SAM-e on an empty stomach early in the day. Recommended starting dose is 400 mg (200 mg 30 minutes before breakfast, 200 mg 30 minutes before lunch) and then you can work your way up. You might experience some stomach upset and/or insomnia when starting out.

I’m reckless, so I started out with 1600 mg a day, experimented with 3000 mg for a few weeks, and now take about 2400 mg a day. This is not recommended, but even at high doses, I did not experience negative side-effects.

This supplement’s effects are like those of an SSRI, minus the brain fog, hair loss, and weight gain. SAM-e is a commonly prescribed anti-depressant in Europe, but almost unheard of in the USA. My mood and energy levels improved notably within a week; for the first time in years, I went for a run just for fun. Really wish I learned about this supplement sooner.

Recommended brands: Nature’s way/Doctor’s best

NAC + Selenium

Check out this article on healthline. NAC can help with many issues.

In my experience, it:

Reduces negative thought loops

Increases mental clarity

Blunts negative emotion (contrasted with SAM-e, which increases positive emotion)

Selenium can help if you have an auto-immune issue. The typical American diet is loaded with crap that could trigger an immune response or inflamation, which contributes to stress. Selenium doesn’t make this go away completely, but can take the edge off, especially if you have a thyroid condition.

Recommended brand: NOW supplements, which sells NAC with seleinum in the same pill

Gultathione

Check out this article, which calls this the ‘master’ antioxident.

It’s recommended to take Glutathione on an empty stomach with vitamin C to help absorption.

In my experience, it:

Gives a huge energy boost

Can trigger a positive mood that borders on euphoria

Increases mental speed and clarity (think, speak, and react more quickly.)

Makes you look and feel younger

Recommended brands: NOW is the more affordable option. Core Med Science liquid Glutathione is more expensive, but has a more potent immediate effect.

MISC Notes

You don’t need to take each one of these supplements every day. A few times a week is enough to help. Omega-3 and B-12 are worth adding to the list, but I wanted to touch on more obscure solutions for depression/anxiety/low energy.

In addition to these supplements, I recommend quitting alcohol if you have a mood disorder. I stopped drinking a year and a half ago and feel so much better for it. Caffeine can also contribute to anxiety and depression; cutting back or quitting altogether is worth considering. I feel a lot more joyful, present, and human when I’m not hopped up on stimulants. The benefits are definitely worth the trade off, though I understand quitting can be difficult.

There is a spiritual component to depression and anxiety, and although these supplements are scientifically proven to aid mental health, I only came across these solutions after sincere prayer. Before connecting to God, I tried other supplements/prescriptions, and never saw the results I was looking for. The best approach to anxiety and depression is holistic: addressing the physical, mental, circumstantial, and spiritual of the condition can bring lasting healing.

#depression #anxiety #health #mental health #obviously im not a doctor but holy shit these are effective #and youll never ever hear a doctor prescribe any of them #like in terms of energy im now able to bike 20 miles without much issue #though prefer to do like 5 miles a day #i just feel a lot more inspired and human #but still talk to your doctor like i dont mind the risk of experimenting on myself but its probably not smart #also if u try these things and they help shoot me an ask

15 & 19 for jinana & julian.... and Heron? (Absolutely here for QPP)

~foxfirefallout

And.... 16, too?

~foxfirefallout

15. Describe your favorite moment of that ship!

Jinana/Julian: When they first met. Jinana loosed and Eldritch Blast at him before beaning him straight in the face with a thrown bottle, and he did not consider this to be a minus in any way.

Jinana/Heron: When they decided to experiment with smooching, but decided that they really just wanted pie instead.

16. What do other characters think about this relationship?

Jinana/Julian: Asra had misgivings about the relationship early on, but as he came to see the true depth of their relationship, he supports it wholeheartedly (har). Nadia thinks their relationship is adorable, having a bit of a soft spot for the tiny dom/big sub aesthetic. Heron is just happy that his closest friend has found someone who makes hir happy in this way. Portia is happy that her brother has managed to find a stable relationship (but she’ll tease him relentlessly anyway).

Jinana/Heron: Julian is mildly bewildered that he seems to have been accepted as family by Heron due to his relationship with Jinana, but he’s glad that Jinana has someone s/he can talk to about the parts of hir life that he doesn’t understand as well. Though Asra and Heron often disagreed as to the best course for Jinana’s rehabilitation, he was grateful for his presence all the same (especially after a year of caretaking on his own). Nadia is very grateful that her friendship with Jinana also brought Heron into her circle, because his knowledge and power are invaluable to the city restoration effort.

19. Talk about a headcanon you’ve never talked about before.

Jinana/Julian: Julian suffers from hypervigilance (due to the many traumas he has experienced in his life), which is one of many contributing factors to his chronic insomnia. His nervous system just does not know how to stand down on its own. Jinana has discovered that deep pressure helps with this, and so when he gets too discombobulated by it, s/he will lay on him, jet-pack him, or even just wrap him up like a burrito (and then lay on/jet-pack him).

When Asra is in the equation, they will just sandwich-press Julian until he calms down and passes out. ;P

Jinana/Heron: Jinana is the only one who really understands why Heron is the way that he is; s/he was there when he built his ‘social persona’, and assisted in the process. Of course, Apprentice!Jinana no longer has this knowledge - at least, not consciously. But s/he still understands this on an abstract level, and is still the one most likely to spot that Heron has shut down and why.

#ask memes answered #jinana lore #the bromance #doctor disaster #thanks for asking! ^^#foxfirefallout #Anonymous

Top Ten Massage Techniques Explained

There are many types of massagetherapy, each with their own benefits to ease pain, anxiety or enhance general wellbeing. I research some of the popular, explaining the procedure and their unique advantages.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage, the very common worldwide, is known as'Vintage massage' and is the foundation for most other kinds of Western massage. It involves using business but gentle pressure to boost relaxation, working on areas of specific muscle strain. It is done on bare skin with lotions or oils. The therapist uses their palms, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of their muscles.

Unlike Swedish massage, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage focuses on a specific problem, for example like: Chronic pain. It heals the connective tissue of the human body rather than simply the top . It's similar to neck massager amazon but with much slower movements and more profound pressure. Deep tissue massage can help to refresh and relax muscles, increasing the blood flow and so the oxygen flow around your system. An deep tissue massage is quite slow with long, flowing strokes to ease in and outside of the muscle. The aim of deep tissue massage isn't to leave you feeling relaxed and blissful; rather, it helps to tackle particular physical, muscular problems to relieve pain and restore normal movement.

Sports Massage

Sports massage was intended for athletes, however, is appropriate for anybody with chronic pain, trauma or range of motion issues. It focuses upon the prevention and curing of injuries to tendons and muscles. Sports Massage is different from curative massage in that it is a milder form of tissue massage with special methods to treat physically active individuals.

The differing types of massage include: Post-event - to attract human anatomy tissues to normal condition. Restorative - throughout training allows athletes to train harder and also minimise possibility of injury. Rehabilitative - targeted toward alleviating pain caused to injury. A sports massage is actually a great option if you have a specific problem continuing during sport. It stimulates flow of the blood and lymph fluids which enables optimal metabolic exchanges, increased recovery after intense training, improved functionality and diminished onset of muscle soreness in addition to reduces the chance of injury.

Popular in Asia Indian Head Massage has been demonstrated to be helpful at alleviating stress, insomnia, nausea, nausea, tension, and chamomile. The West has caught onto its benefits deploying it since a quick note-taking app.

Indian Head Massage is a very relaxing treatment that, as the name suggests, focuses on massaging on the head. The procedure uses a range of unique moves including deep kneading and compression motions over the neck, shoulder and skin places. Performed sitting upright in a seat, it helps to clear your head as it revitalizes and improves endurance and endurance degrees, whilst improving joint stiffness and flexibility at the shoulders and neck.

Reflexology, also referred to as zone therapy, is situated on the concept that you can find"reflex" areas in the feet and hands which correspond to specific organs, organs, and other regions of the human anatomy. The underlying theory is that if pressure is put on a particular adrenal space, it affects the organ represented.

This cushioned treatment involves applying pressure to"Zone" spots on the feet and hands together with special thumb, hand and finger processes without using lotion or oil. Reflexology stimulates organs, boosts blood supply and will reestablish physiological functions to normal. Reflexology promotes healing by stimulating the entire foot, which increases the flow of vital energy to various parts of the entire body in Addition to releases endorphins (the body's natural pain killers)

A hot stone massage is a full body treatment which uses smooth flat water heated stones placed over each side of the spine (the chakra centers ). The intention is always to relax muscles and relieve tension promptly. Differently weighted stones have been useful for different amounts of anxiety.

Hot stone massage combines the proven advantages of Swedish massage with the heat and pressure given by using warm basalt stones and soothing oils to relax the muscles, permitting a deeper and much more intense massage. The stones are used as tools to deliver effective muscle and tissue massage in moderate, moderate or deep pressure degrees in the treatment of sore muscles, back pain, stress and other common ailments. Benefits range from the restoration of the body's natural balance, profound muscular relaxation, improved flow and the sensation of most over comfort and warmth.

Shiatsu massage is a standard hands-on therapy originating from Japan used to get the harmony of chi within your system. Shiatsu works generally being, from the physical to the spiritual.

Shiatsu, also referred to as acupressure, is a finger massage which involves acupressure methods (minus the needles) using hand, thumbs, elbows and knees comprising tension, holding, massaging, waxing or extending motions that can be deep and firm. Shiatsu massage is best known for aid of stress-related symptoms such as headaches and basic muscle tension as well as increasing spiritual and psychological awareness.

Neuromuscular Massage

Neuromuscular therapeutic massage is a deep form of tissue massage for reducing muscle pain through the stimulation of circulation to the nervous system. The theory behind neuromuscular massage is that if a muscle spasms - it is perhaps not in the entire muscle, but in a centralized area inside the muscle. If blood circulation into this area has been diminished it might then reverberate to areas of the muscle, causing pain.

By applying pressure to the trigger point for several minutes, the lacticacid buildup at the trigger point is dispersed. This calms the muscles by increasing the blood flow and oxygen available to them, which releases lactic acid and thus the cause of pain, via the nervous system. Muscle pain and soreness are neutralized by repeated focused pressure over the trigger points.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is similar to Swedish massage with several positional alterations. It is used to ease some of the discomforts associated with pregnancy such as swelling at both legs, muscles and joint pains or reduced flexibility and flow.

The massage is normally completed with the mum on her side utilizing special cushions to place her body for the best relaxation. Also called pre-natal massage, also the treatment helps with comfort , reduces stress and relieves strained leg and back muscles to fix the position and reduce back pain. Pregnancy massage assists the circulatory and lymphatic systems, allowing healthy blood circulation to the mommy and her baby.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage uses highly concentrated plant oils, also known as essential oilsthat might be added to the massage lotion or oil. This system combines the pure therapeutic properties of essential oils and the curative power of massage . It can be quite helpful in relaxing and healing your mind, body and soul and is usually described as an extremely relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The oils are the absolute most important part of the treatment, preferred for their curative effect, and perhaps not just the fragrance to"therapeutically" excite the nasal/olfactory senses. These are treated as lavender, oil diffusers, or botanical oils applied directly into the body, depending upon the demand.

With Disney Plus now released, a lot of people have access to much of Disney's content that they've never seen before, be it 90s cartoons they were born too late to see, Pixar shorts they missed, or obscure movies they hadn't known existed until they saw their titles listed among Disney Plus's catalogue of films.

Because of this, a lot of people now have access to my favorite movie of all time, Return to Oz. So now I would like to present you...

Reasons Why You Should Watch Return to Oz

It's about Dorothy, six months after she comes home from her adventures in Oz. While she loves Oz, the tornado and some of her experiences she had there left her with a form of PTSD. In particular, she experiences terrible insomnia, as well as a feeling that things are not right in Oz. Her aunt and uncle are at a loss for what to do, finally turning to "modern medicine"--which is to say, shock therapy. She manages to escape this, and eventually finds her way back to Oz, only to find that indeed, things aren't well there. Her friends are missing, most of Oz's citizens were turned to stone, and she must band together with a group of new friends to find out what has happened to Oz, how she can save it, and how she can get back home again.

It's a charming 80s fantasy movie, that has just about everything you can expect from hearing the term "80s fantasy movie" (well, minus any amount of crudeness--there's no swearing or violence or off-color jokes here).

As far as English adaptations of Baum's books go, it's quite possibly the closest in spirit to Baum's original Oz series. (And, yes, I do mean series--for those unaware, the original Wizard of Oz was not a standalone book, but the first of fourteen Oz novels Baum himself wrote--a series that was later expanded to forty novels by other authors, and even more after that.)

It features (mostly) incredible practical effects (among the occasional cheesy 80s effect), including puppetry by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Brian Henson (one of Jim Henson's children) voices and puppets one of the major characters in the film (and my personal favorite character), Jack Pumpkinhead.

This is Fairuza Balk's first film appearance! (I... admittedly have seen no other movies she's been in, but some people like this actress, so here you go.)

A really fantastic soundtrack, with two of my favorite tracks being The Flight of the Gump, and The Return to Oz Rag March. (I'd link them, but Tumblr, being the way it is, probably wouldn't let this post show up in any tags, so go ahead and check them out on Youtube if you're interested.) On top of that, it also features the sort of music that uses different instruments to represent each character (Peter and the Wolf style, if you're familiar with that). Listen closely when different characters interact, and you'll hear their themes mix together!

A dark, but truly wonderful and heartfelt story. It also doesn't pull punches in terms of scariness or the seriousness of some of its situations (particularly the shock therapy clinic), and the villains can be quite terrifying at times and still give me chills to this day.

Genuinely sweet, wonderful characters: Dorothy's sarcastic pet chicken Billina, Tik-Tok (a robot who runs on clockwork and claims to not experience emotions), Jack Pumpkinhead (an incredibly tall but childlike scarecrow who just wants to find his mother), and the Gump (a reanimated hunting trophy--it's nicer than it sounds). And... of course, Dorothy herself--probably my favorite depiction of the character, and how I always imagine her to look when I read the books.

Some really emotional scenes that I don't want to spoil for you.

Scenes that truly show the people who worked on this film absolutely love Oz and Baum's books.

this is overall such a good movie and I love it so so so so much

Now... all that having been said, let me go into...

Things to Keep in Mind BEFORE You Watch Return to Oz

THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO THE JUDY GARLAND MUSICAL. I don't care what you've heard about this movie or what people have told you about it--it is not a sequel. It has a handful of references to the musical--nods to character echoes (characters seeming to appear in both Kansas and Oz) and use of the Ruby Slippers rather than Silver Slippers--but it is not a true sequel by any means.

It... it doesn't look like the cover Disney made for it in recent releases. i have no idea why the cover looks like that. it's awful. why does it look like that.

Dorothy is actually a child in this. For some reason Dorothy is older in the Judy Garland musical for whatever reason, but in this one, she's closer to the actual age she's supposed to be in the books! So no, she didn't "de-age" or anything.

The characters were made to look like the original illustrations from the books. So if you don't want to be startled by how different, say, the Scarecrow looks from his counterpart in the musical, check out the John R. Neil illustrations of the characters and you'll get a good idea for what to expect in this movie. (Exceptions being Tik-Tok the clockwork man (who was given a mild redesign to make his costume even possible), and the Nome King and his Nomes (who were interpreted completely differently from how they appear in the books.)

This movie GETS DARK. Get ready for depictions of shock therapy, as well as some genuinely creepy (and book-canon) creatures. If you're thinking of watching this movie with kids, be aware that this does get genuinely scary, so if they're the kind of kids who get nightmares from scary things in movies... maybe wait a few years before showing them this. (On the other hand, I saw this movie when I was pretty young and did fine--I still loved it in spite of the fact that it scared me, so it's hard to say for sure.)

That said... while it's dark, it's (arguably) not a horror movie. I have seen some fans argue how this could be considered a horror/fantasy movie, but IMO, don't go into it expecting a horror movie, since I've seen that shade people's perceptions of the film in bad ways.

Oz is not a dream here. While, again, it does indeed have nods to the way the original musical was done, unlike the musical, Oz is not a dream, as is proven in a few moments in the film.

I... think that's just about everything. If anyone thinks of something I missed here, please let me know.

This is genuinely my most favorite movie of all time, but it's also a very commonly misunderstood movie, so I wanted to write this post in favor of it, and encouraging others to give it a try (with the right mindset).

#return to oz #disney plus #wizard of oz #disney+#long post #SORRY I HAD TO WRITE THIS #there are so many misconceptions about this movie #I wanted to write this so that folks can go into this movie with a proper mindset so they can actually enjoy it #this is my favorite movie ever it means so much to me
