#can you tell i'm very normal about vex. can you tell i'm INCREDIBLY normal about the twins

[rightpastnowhere]

C3 E114 SPOILERS

absolutely insane how vex has now died 5 times. the most deaths of any player character in CR history. probably any character, really. and like. it's fitting that it's her, isn't it? and not just because she has such a low constitution and health point pool, and continues to go tits-out with no regard to that.

but like. of course, the only person to die more than death's champion himself is the champion's twin. vex's death is actually the one that triggered the weave of vax's fate with the matron, the love of a brother trying to drag her back. and that follows her, both as vax continues to stand at her side like a shadow, and as each of her deaths is undone, time and time again. the other half of the one who ferries dead souls. i can see it as some narrative that he continues to shield her from death, but their bond keeps dragging them together, keeps dragging vex towards death. i can also see it, simply, as a sister trying to out-do her brother, just like when they were kids.

plus, there's something either hilariously coincidental or terribly poetic about her having died once for each of her kids. five deaths to accompany five births. there's something there about a cycle of life and death, about balance, maybe. or even just how she keeps clawing to keep hold of the life and future she's made for herself, the one she'll always regret that her brother sacrificed to save her.

sunday x m reader who wont shut up while hes working so he makes reader cockwarm him to shut him up

Cockwarming With Sunday

🍓Dom Sunday makes my skin crawl. Anyway, I went for a softer take than what you wanted, sorry lol. Even when Sunday tops I can't see him as all that mean, at least, not in the way this was worded lol. Anyway, I'm very well Sunday's biggest hater (I love him more than life itself), so I hope you enjoy this. I want him dead.

Tw: NSFW; Implied power dynamics; Mean(?) Sunday; Grammar Errors; ts kinda ass

Info: Dom!Sunday x M!Reader (it's hard to tell lol); Cockwarming; pre ae sunday; Nsfw

Word Count: 1.5k

Sunday was always considered to be a patient man, especially with those he considered important to him. He had put up with plenty of Robin's silly plans and humored her with delight -- he loved her after all, and any plan she had wasn't truly all that silly so long as it came from her. He even enjoyed her endless conversations when he was meant to be finishing up paperwork. His time with her was sparse, he could afford extra time away from his duties for her. She never kept him for long anyway, understanding his position better than anyone else.

You, however, did not have the excuse of being his darling sister. You spent a significant amount of time with him, both in and out of work, and he had all the time in the world to spend with you. Which meant you knew better than most others how much he needed to fill out this report today. Yet... you kept running those stupidly pretty lips of yours.

He wasn't even sure what you were talking about, he'd tuned you out about ten minutes into your talking. Nearly an hour had passed, and you were still going on and on about something or another -- he catches that it's about an up-and-coming artist you'd seen, not that he cares for any musician that isn't his sister. It wouldn't be so bad if you were just talking, he'd mastered the technique of ignoring things that seemed to get under his skin, but you needed assurance that he was listening.

He would occasionally have to pause and answer questions without much context, or hum in acknowledgement of your words. Your incessant rambling is normally incredibly endearing to him, but with the deadline looming over his head, and the ache stinging between his brows it was enough to make it vexing.

He lets out a sigh, hands pressing the pen to the desk just a bit too harshly. You silence yourself, flinching back a little in surprise. He nearly coos, he hadn't meant to scare you, but you were very cute when frightened. (Perhaps he shouldn't be thinking such things...)

"My love," He hums, meeting your gaze with a calm smile, "you know I love having you around, don't you?"

You nod, nervousness shining in your eyes, giving you away despite the brave front you put on. You were always too easy for him to read, a bit concerning considering the enemies he has, but he'd prefer you pliant than hardened -- at least, in that way.

He gestures to the papers on his desk, "You also know how important it is that I get this done today, yes?"

"Of course," You answer immediately, and he can see the realization of why he was scolding you across your face. So very cute. "Was I talking too much?"

He hums an affectionate smile on his face, and gestures for you to come to his side. You do so with no arguments, as expected. He turns in his chair, grabbing you by your hips to situate you between his legs. You flush a bit at the contact, predictable as always, but he chooses not to comment on it.

"I need to get this done, angel," He asserts again, and you frown shamefully.

"Would you like me to leave?" You offer, but the idea sours something in his chest.

He shakes his head adamantly, "Of course not. I love having you here, but you'll have to behave for me."

There is a spark behind your eyes at his words that makes him ache a bit, his member coming to life much too fast for his liking. The effect seems to be mutual, as far as he can tell from his position near your crotch. His placid smile morphs into a slight smirk, and his eyes meet yours again, "You can behave for me, can't you?"

You nod adamantly, "Of course, s-sir." The title is stuttered, somehow unsure despite your knowing very well what he wanted from you now. It was so adorable how concerned you were with overstepping with him. You truly could do no wrong in his eyes, even when you were getting in the way of his work.

"Then," he pushes you to step back, leaning back in his chair, "Take your pants and underwear off for me. Quickly, I'd like to get this done as soon as possible."

You nod again, doing as he says like a well-trained pet, pretty eyes looking to him for approval as you shove the clothes to the side. He rewards you with a smile, leaning forward to run a finger along the bottom of your hard cock. You hiss at the sensation, drawing a chuckle from his chest.

He eases himself out of his pants as he tugs on your sensitive member a few times, enjoying the little whimpers you give him. His dick springs free, hitting his stomach. He leans back again as it does, telling you what to do with his eyes alone. You follow along like in a trance -- he'd almost believed you were under the influence Harmony, if it weren’t for the fact that he wasn’t using it in the moment.

You hiss lowly as he slides into you. Going raw must've been painful for you, but it felt heavenly for him. Your ass squeezed him so well like it was meant to hold him deep within. He smiles reassuringly at you as you finally sit fully on his lap, taking your chin in his hand to settle a kiss to your lips.

"Very good," He compliments.

You bite your lip, averting your gaze, "Thank you, sir."

He tuts at you, drawing your gaze back just as quickly as it left, "You can sit still and wait like a good boy, can't you? If you can't well..."

"Of course I can!" You respond with a desperation that surprises both of you, quickly adding, "Sir."

"Good, good," he hums, pressing a warm hand against the back of your neck. Your chin rests against his shoulder on instinct, getting comfortable against him. Once he's satisfied with you behaving, he leans forward and starts back to working on the document you'd been distracting him from.

The scratching of his pen is one of the only things keeping you grounded in reality. The stretch of his thick cock in your ass is almost too much for your brain to handle. You shouldn't have been talking so much, honestly, this is no one's fault but your own. Still, the torture of not being allowed to move for fear of worse punishment is enough to make you want to cry.

You sit there pretty on his dick like a good boy, though. Always so obedient for him, if only he didn't have to tell you to behave. No one is perfect, so this was a sacrifice Sunday had to make to keep things as he liked.

His fingers climb up your spine, tingling across your body right to your achingly hard cock. You almost hear Sunday chuckle when it twitches between the two of you, but it's so quiet you believe you might've made it up in your fucked out brain. You wiggle your hips in an attempt to get some friction, but all Sunday has to do is place his hand on it and you cease all movements.

Sunday seems, on the outside, entirely unaffected by everything. For the most part, he really is. He's blasting through his work faster than before, but that was because he couldn't wait much longer to bend you over the papers and reward you for good behavior. Each squeeze around him has him swallowing down groans, determined to not give into your temptations -- no matter how wonderful that sounded.

When he signs the last dotted line and closes the stack of papers back to the front page he lets out a sigh that resembles more of a moan than anything as you clench anticipatorily around him yet again. His pen is set on the desk with a little 'click', and he finally looks at you after agonizing minutes of your squirming. Lust has clouded over his gaze, and he looks positively angelic nearly lost to his own sin.

You are no better, pleading with your eyes for him to fuck you like the sweet thing you were. Tears pricked at the corners of your lashes, a picture of absolute beauty. He smiles at you, wiping them away from your cheeks as they spill over.

"You were very good, my sweet angel," He hums, moving his hands to your hips, "you deserve a reward for behaving, don't you?"

You nod adamantly, your heart picking up in excitement. He raises an eyebrow expectantly at you, and you know what you're meant to do next without the need for words. Standing from his lap, hissing as he leaves your tight hole, and bending over his desk like the good pet you were.

"Very good..." He hums, and your spine tingles in excitement as you hear his pants and belt hit the floor around his feet.

Fjord

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

2. Favorite thing: so much, but I particularly like how good and effective he is at herding the cats of the Mighty Nein. There are many reasons why they bonded so tightly, but a factor was that Fjord early on was insistent that they figure out ways to work together. You can tell how carefully his backstory was constructed; part of why Sabian and Vandran are such beloved figures despite almost no screentime is because you can get such a clear an outline of them from Fjord’s behaviors and discussions that is honestly more thorough than that of some fully introduced NPCs. Getting back to the original point, you can tell from early on that this is someone accustomed to team dynamics under pressure (ie, a sailor). In general, everything we learned about Fjord, as it was revealed, made me go “ohhhhhhh yeah that makes sense,” which is in my opinion the sign of incredibly skilled storytelling and character building.

3. This is tough; this is a character I truly love and I am always team “this person’s flaws are an important part and erasing them means you do not fucking get it," so like, I am in favor of his perfectionism and control issues and closed-off-ness and in case it's not clear from my Midst blogging and which characters I'm drawn to there, nor my enjoyment of Vex, a particular vibe of which he is one of the best examples. I also, admittedly, am defensive because while people watching C2 now without all the fandom discourse of C2 tend to enjoy him, he got done rather dirty by the fandom and was the recipient of basically every single thing I dislike that fandoms do (he is not alone; Keyleth got this with the added complication of rampant misogyny, and Veth got shades of this too, and all have similarly been received much better by people watching without fandom influence). So, for example, while I would love to have seen more of his backstory in-game, I am hesitant to say that because, well, ever notice how Caduceus was sidelined by the party and we didn't explore his past but Fjord avoided his backstory? Ever notice how Caleb's asshole behaviors are because of trauma but Fjord (grew up in a Dickensian orphanage, bullied over his race to the point of willing self-harm from a young age, betrayed, stabbed, and left to drown at which point he was forced into a warlock pact he didn't remember) is just an asshole? (I'm saying this as someone who very much likes Caduceus and Caleb, but this was blatant from the fandom, and pretty constant too.) So to be clear I think he has plenty of flaws, as a complex character, but I do not dislike those flaws as canonical aspects of him.

Anyway. The joke but also kind of true answer is, as Laura herself pointed out, why did he wait 7 entire years to propose to Jester.

25. I liked him from the start but Beau was actually my favorite in early C2! I liked the top table (and what faint impressions I had of Yasha) from the start, but Fjord had the Percy and Vex trait of "guy who can act normal in a social situation when no one else can" for the first stretch of the campaign, which meant he was high up there but didn't move up in my estimation until he started to reveal how civilizedly (not a real word, but vitally important as a modifier here for a number of reasons) unhinged and insecure he was.

Headcanons of Krel living on earth because he’s my favorite and I love him and I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so I feel like I have to

^^^^^because of this very moment I love the idea of Mary and Darci befriending Krel.

Since Aja,Vex and Eli went back to Akaridion-5, Mother was destroyed, and Claire was busy with Trollhunting stuff, earth gets pretty lonely. So Mary and Darci adopt him into their friend group. 

At first Krel was a little apprehensive to joining their friend group, but he quickly warmed up to it because, he, being Krel, loves the attention.

like I can totally see Mary and Darci taking Krel to like a mall or something and doing those like teen romcom movie shopping montages where he goes into a changing room and the girls judge the outfit until they find the perfect one.

I personally believe Krel would adopt a soft boy look, with like oversized button ups and t shirts tucked into jeans, but thats just me.

anyway, because he’s friends with Mary and Darci, Krel has a new found social popularity in Arcadia.

because of this, Krel would prolly get nominated for Spring Fling king and shit

I would say Krel wouldn’t really care about being nominated, but seeing how he cared so much about the science fair and the Battle of the Bands, he would definitely care

Steve is conflicted because he wants to be Spring Fling King, but he can’t mess with Krel like he did with Jim and Eli cause Krel is his girlfriend’s brother 

Krel notices this and takes advantage of it to mess with Steve and actually tries to win.

like Krel would just dominate the contests, and his theme presentation would be the flashiest and most appealing and people would just generally like him, and that would really worry Steve

like Krel, with four arms would be really good at the Touch-a-Truck-athon or whatever its called.

Krel would prolly let Steve win anyway because watching Steve squirm and freak out over prolly losing the crown and not being able to do anything about it cause he's Aja's brother is much better than any highschool dance crown

also the school 100% asks Krel to DJ future dances and events to save money, and Krel absolutely loves it

He would also definitely do the school play. Seeing how much he enjoyed being in Toby and Eli's short film, and again, he loves the attention, he would totally be down 

Also it would just be another chance to mess with Steve to be the lead. 

Because of this, Ms. Janeth would do another Shakespearean play, but do one of those modern renditions. Like it's the same play just in a modern setting, to take advantage of Krel's Akaridion form like they did with Jim's armor. 

If not in the play he would do stage crew/tech.

Like he would create elaborate settings for them using A5 tech and Ms. Janeth would adore it 

moving on, because home life is pretty lonely with just the Lucy and Ricky for company, Krel loves to host his friends for parties and sleepovers and whatever

and since Krel lives in the coolest house on the block, they love coming over

He hosts girl’s night every other week with Mary, Darci, and Clarie (becauuse she deserves a fucking break) 

since we’ve all agreed that Krel is 100% a gaylien, I love the idea that he casually comes out during a girls night

like Mary would be like “So Krel, are there any girls you like?” and Krel’s just like, “*snort* Girls? Who ever said I like girls?” and the others are like “….....?“ and Krel just rolls his eyes and says "I like boys, ladies” and they’re like “ooooohhhh, okay. Cool.”

So now they spend girls night talking about boys. Claire and Darci about their mans and Mary and Krel about cute boys.

One day the girls give Krel a little rainbow pin and Krel’s just like “what’s this?” And the girls tell him that it’s an earth symbol for the gays and he’s like “theres a symbol for that here? I didnt think it was that big of a deal. On A5 it’s pretty normal” and the girls explain why theres a symbol and he’s like “oh shoot wow, thanks" and he put it on his backpack.

He’s pretty confused the first time someone is homophobic towards him cause like that kind if behavior doesnt happen on A5 and hes just like, “why does this bother you? I hardly know you” and just brushes it off. Its doesnt really bother him, mainly cause he doesnt know the earth insults towards gay people so he doesn’t even realize, but if the girls (or Toby, or even Steve, too) catch anyone being homophobic towards their friend they will attack that asshole on sight. Especially Mary and Steve

Random person on the street: Ha, *slur*

Marry: WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM BITCH???

Krel: Marry its fine, it’s not that big of a dealoHSEKLOSANDGAYLENMARYGETOFFOFHIM

Marry: SAY IT AGAIN ASSHAT, I D A R E YOU

Claire and Darci: *trying to hold Mary back* maRY NO

Steve: THATS MY NINJA KICKING SPACE ANGEL GIRLFRIEND'S BROTHER BUTTSNACK I'LL END YOU

Toby: *now chasing after Steve to stop him* stEVE NO

Mary would 100% find out who the rando is and destroy their life on social media. Like she would leak their job, phone number, email, school/college (if applicable) to her thousands of followers and absolutely ruin them with no remorse. And honestly, good for her

Also whilst on the subject, Krel can not drive or cook for 2 reasons: 1. Hes gay and 2. He’s a prince so he’s never had to do either before

Like he can obviously do math but that’s it.

Proof? That one scene in Wizards when Douxie had him drive the airship. You know the one.

Coach Lawrence refuses to get in a car with him at Drivers Ed after the 3rd day Krel shows up.

Krel gets addicted to sugary coffee shop-esc drinks thanks to Darci. Not coffee cause we saw in 3Below Part 1 that he doesnt like coffee, but refreshers, coolattas, frappuccinos etc…? Definitely.

As for warm drinks, he’s more of a tea person.

Moving on

He face calls Aja everyday because he really misses her

He tells her all about school and his friends and whatever and Aja tells him about the changes she’s making to the A5 government

Thanks to the wormhole they visit each other often. Sometimes Steve tags along cause he misses his ninja kicking space queen angel girlfriend. (And Eli, but that's also for another post)

They take turns housing Luug.

Krel genuinely loves it on earth, but he hates the primitive technology so he begs Aja to send him supplies and materials for his projects. 

He would 10000% apply to HexTech for an after school job. Seeing his reaction to HT in Wizards and the fact that “Akaridion tech and magic are so compatible”, he would be the perfect addition to the HT staff. 

The Wizards wouldn’t be sure at first but after he shows them A5 tech and Douxie’s email of recommendation about the time loop thing they made together, the wizards are like “oh yeah we definitely keeping this kid. This is going to be so much fun.”

Their inventions become more and more extravagant because Krel can and he's just extra and the wizards love it.

He would definitely find a way to use magic using A5 tech. But he would have to study magic in order to figure out how, so the wizards help him learn all about magic. And since he's learned everything there is to learn about science and technology and whatever, he's super excited to learn about something completely different and interesting. The wizards are happy to teach him. He would be the first Akaridion to learn and use magic

Like he would make his own staff with his serrator and everything. He's like "earn a staff? Nah fuck that going to make my own"

Speaking of which he really likes human swear words. But he doesnt know when it is and isn't inappropriate to say these swear words so he's gotten in trouble a few times for swearing at the wrong time

For example:

Ms. Janeth: excuse me Mr. Tarron?

Krel: what the fuck do you want?

Everyone in the room: krEL NO

Anyway, back to Krel at HT, thanks to Toby, he would definitely have a bowl of candy in his little lab. More like multiple jars of different candy just scattered around the room. Small candy like fun sized chocolate and skittles and jelly beans and whatever

And a mini fridge, of course.

Steve, Toby and Arrrgh come over to the lab alot to mess around.

Toby has a lot of sci-fi requests for Krel to make

Toby: do you think you can make a shrink ray? Laser blasters? Invisible ray? My own hoverboard? My own serrator *gASP* WITH A WARHAMMER SETTING???? WITH SPACE ARMOR TO MATCH???!!!???!

Krel: Toby you already have a warhammer and armor why do you need more?

Toby: I dont have a space warhammer and armor Krel!!!!!!

Going back to school life, I feel like Krel would take an interest in Spanish class. I mean, his human form is latino and in Trollhunters (I'm pretty sure the lightning in a bottle episode) he said "Si" in response to a question someone asked him, so I feel like he would like to learn another human language. 

I also feel like he would just like to learn about Latin American culture in general since Mother gave him that form. He'd like to get in touch with his human self. 

Claire (when she isnt busy Trollhunting with Jim and the gang) is happy help him learn about Latin American culture and help him with his Spanish. 

Krel, being a fast learner, becomes fluent quickly with a perfect accent. 

Señor Uhl, who already liked the Tarrons to begin with, would really appreciate this. 

Claire's dad would also appreciate this.

Since he has such a fascination with human music, Krel would especially love Latin American music. Specifically reggaeton, since its kind of like techno music in a way and he already likes techno music.

And naturally, he learns to dance. All the styles of latin american dances. And he becomes quite the favorite on the dance floor.

He and Claire become great dance partners cause they both have the natural Latino rhythm and because Jim respects and trusts his girlfriend he doesnt mind them dancing together at parties and stuff

Although, Jim does ask for dance help at some point cause it looks like fun and he wants to dance with his beautiful talented incredible amazing gf and Krel is happy to teach him and anyone else who wants dance help. 

GUITAR LESSONS with Douxie cause in 3Below Krel said he really wanted to learn how to play guitar, steals Shannon’s guitar from the bonfire and is seen multiple times strumming it throughout the series. So of course this is included.

Toby introduces Krel to YouTube and Krel instantly makes his own channel.

of course his channel is called DJ Kleb and he posts his tracks and remixes. and maybe even some vlogs

its a little slow at first, only Arcadia Oaks students are subscribed to it but Mary blows it up by posting one of Krel’s tracks on her own social media and now he has thousands of subscribers

he also gained other forms of social media like Instagram and Tiktok, platforms to post his music

At this point every girl in school wants to be friends with Krel but not in the toxic GBF (gay best friend) way, girls just genuinely think he's 10x more interesting than every other boy in Arcadia Oaks

I think that's it for now sorry this is really long I just really love Krel and I had so many ideas. Feel free to add on!!

Fanfic ask game! 9, 27, and 34?

Hey there! <3 Happy New Year! It is so good to hear from you.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about myself :D sometimes writing feels a bit like screaming into the void (as a writer yourself, maybe you know the feeling?). I feel like this is doubly-true when it's fanfic -- we're publishing under a pseudonym and not getting paid.

(the original ask is here, for anyone that wants to participate - for their own work or mine)

I'm going to be answering these questions in reverse order, for aesthetic reasons.

34. What's the weirdest thing you researched for a fic?

"Debunking Santa Claus with Mathematics"

I dunno, man, I just feel like as a kid, Genos probably celebrated Christmas by doing complex math equations with his family. This is how he almost accidentally ruins Tareo's Christmas in my Wanpanmas fic.

"Can you hear a meteor before it falls on you?" is a close second. (Short answer: Yes, you can.)

27. What motivated and pushed you to write more this year?

Easy! A genuine love of writing. There is nothing in the world I would rather be doing.

This is a double-edged sword, though, because I have definitely used it as a form of escapism. Like most people, I've been at least a little traumatized by the pandemic and I sometimes forget how weird/hard life is right now. I've always struggled with social anxiety and it's like I have a much lower tolerance for human contact now. Interacting over very specific things (like fandom) is less anxiety provoking. Also, writing is a way of spending time with other people, even if you aren't actually there with them because those people are all fictional.

9. What's a scene you wrote this year that you're particularly proud of?

I'm really proud of Saitama's motivational speech to Garou in "not that guy." In the chapter, Garou thanks Saitama for teaching him so much. Saitama tells him "I didn't teach you, you taught you." This is almost exactly what he tells Genos in the latest manga chapter -- which, of course, wasn't published at the time.

I also had Saitama sticking his finger in ear, trying to remove a glob of earwax as he spoke. I hadn't read this section of the webcomic yet, but the panels directly before his final speech to Garou are just several scenes of Saitama picking his nose. That was very affirming, because I have the hardest time keeping Saitama in character, and I feel like I nailed it. (“Being gross at inappropriate times” is a weird thing to have nailed and an even weirder way to have nailed it? Anyway, that’s ONE for you, I guess…)

In the scene I wrote, Saitama gives Garou a whole speech -- which we don't normally see him doing, he's canonically not very talkative -- but he does garble every single thing he tries to quote, which is on brand. And, more importantly, the dialogue struck a nice balance between "scenes that were fun to write" and "scenes that challenged me." To Garou (and probably everyone else), Saitama sounded mixed up and nonsensical, but his ideas made sense to him - and as a writer, I needed to make that come through.

There's definitely an art to writing coherent nonsense (C.S. Lewis' The Jabberwocky is an excellent & well-known example) and I enjoyed exploring the mechanics of that.

To make things even more fun/meaningful, Saitama's speech is mostly comprised of real quotes about life & teaching that are meaningful to me, combined with more banal platitudes. ao3 actually did not have enough space in the "End Notes" section for me to cite all my sources, and it had been a long, long time since I had to edit anything for space constraints so... yeah. That brought back memories of editing playbills and lit mags and research posters…

I had a lot of fun with this scene, and I feel like it almost killed me, which is usually how I know that something is working. And even when writing becomes incredibly vexing and painful, I still cannot imagine myself doing anything else.

...Thank you, @beileil! You are wonderful and awesome and thoughtful. Thank you and everyone else for listening. <3

A snippet of the scene I mentioned is below the cut, for anyone who is interested in a teaser.

“You’re… a good teacher. What you said, it... really helped me,” Garou said. “So. Thanks.”

Garou’s gaze wandered up from the floor and briefly met Saitama’s eyes, before retreating back to some indistinct patch of carpet.

“I didn’t help you,” Saitama said plainly. “You helped you.”

Saitama drew himself into a seated position, ankles crossed. He rested his left hand on his knee, upturned towards the ceiling. He raised his right hand to the level of his eyes, palm open and facing outward; inadvertently assuming the posture of angels and saints. The evening light beamed, beatifically, off Saitama’s bald head - bathing him in an accidental halo.

Saitama jammed his index finger into his ear and twisted.

“You know, I try not to do a whole lot of teaching?” Saitama mused, wedging his finger more deeply into his ear canal. “I think that’s the trick to it.”

Garou flicked the dressings on his fingertips absentmindedly. In one swift and sudden motion, he tore away the remaining bandages.

“‘Successful students are their own teachers,’” Garou said, making his way to the trash bin beside his desk. He looked at Saitama. “In other words — have your disciples do all your dirty work.”

Garou dropped the used bandages into the waste basket, adding,  “Bang was fond of that.”

“Mm, no. That’s not what I’m talking about.” Saitama said, scrutinizing the glob of earwax on his fingertip.  “What’s that other saying people say sometimes? It sounds real smart.”

“Ah, let’s see.” Garou leaned against the wall, arms folded. He pondered for a moment, before reciting something in a flat and listless drawl.

“‘A master teacher does not instruct his disciples. As light can only be kindled from that which is already burning, the master must — '”

Saitama bolted from the bed.

“Woah. Woah, woah, woah. Slow down.”

Saitama slashed at the air, crossing his arms into an X-shape.

“Why are you guys lighting yourselves on fire down at the Fancy River Fist Place?!?” Saitama demanded.

Garou answered with another grandiloquent eye-roll. Truly, a monumental gesture of contempt — a lesser human would have easily thrown their back out.

Saitama, unperturbed, resumed excavating his own ear wax.

“‘The other saying people say sometimes,’” Garou grumbled. “Come on, man. How the fuck am I supposed to make sense of that? You’re not giving me much to work with.”

“You already know what I’m talking about. That’s the point,” Saitama said, wiping his index finger on the side of his shorts. “It’s that thing people tell you, when you’ve gotta move on? Like, ‘you can go to all the places, but you can’t stay here’. I think it’s in a book —“

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go — is that what you mean?”  Garou arched a brow, then smoothed it out with his fingertips. I should really go back to waxing these, he thought. They’re getting out of hand.

“Yeah, kinda.” Saitama nodded knowingly. “I mean, life is a journey but teleportation isn’t a thing, so you gotta wander some. But it's fine, just remember not all who wander are there — “

“‘Not all who wander are lost’?” Garou prompted, in a tone that seamlessly blended admiration and irritation.

“Getting lost isn’t really a thing,” Saitama said, gesturing vaguely to everything and nothing at the same time.  “Because wherever you go, you’re already there yet. But I can’t really help you, because I have to be here now. You get me?”

Garou rolled his eyes and then stopped; he was making himself dizzy.

“My point is — get lost once, ya can’t get lost again,” Saitama said. “But don’t be a dick about it. Everyone’s fighting their own battle and it’s gonna be uphill both ways.”

“Sensei —“ Garou froze. He touched his fingers to his lips, unable to countenance what they'd just let slip. Then he shook his head vigorously, as if his subconscious were some sort of damnable Etch-A-Sketch.

“Saitama,” Garou grumbled. “You are making zero sense.”

Meanwhile, Saitama had started pacing — as though ambling around in circles would lead him towards a reasonable conclusion.

“Good,” Saitama said. “That’s the only real kinda sense.”

I'm a 22 year old diagnosed with ASPD about a couple years ago. My question is how do I cope with this over the span of my life? I've gotten away with some incredible shit. I've lied, charmed and sweet talked my way into and out of many situations but the constant irresponsibility can't be sustainable if I want to live a seemingly normal life. How do I develop a successful career (in finance if we wanna get specific) when every boss I've had just vexes me?

Hey, sorry it took me a while to reply to this. I’m heavily pregnant and am mostly sleeping these days. 

My only advice is, this disorder will change over the span of your lifetime. I was also diagnosed at around 20, and the way it is with me now 10 years later is very different than how it was at its peak. You’ll learn more about yourself and others, you’ll be able to tone yourself down, and the chaotic element to ASPD won’t always be there. You might always be angry, but you’ll learn why. As for other people, that’s a tough one -- I’ve always found it hard to truly respect any kind of authority and I fully understand the unwillingness to want to work to your best ability when someone else is telling you what to do. But you’ll learn to keep your eyes on the prize, and get your kicks where you can. Small acts of resistance that keep you flying under the radar but satisfied that you’re coming out on top.

hello, I found a small bitty in the river near my home who was nearly frozen to death, really bad frostbite. I've brought him home and placed him near the heater with blankets and my Chain to keep an eye on him. I'm not sure what to do, since i've never really dealt with frostbite. His names Kayra from what hes been able to tell me, should i bring him in?

Oof, I dunno what’s worse, frostbite or heat stroke. Both are terrible and can be really difficult to treat, especially in the extremes you’re describing.

In this case, a lot will depend on what kind of bitty they are and how severe the frostbite is. For bone-based bitties, you’ll want to keep an eye out for any areas that are greyed out or off color, as they’ll be signs of dying or dead material that may require surgical intervention. Fur or flesh-mimicking bitties will have reddened areas, darkening depending on the severity until they reach a deadly blue-black color. Elemental bitties are very rarely affected by the elements, but it depends and you’ll likely see discolored patches on them as well. Pay special attention to the furthest extremities like toes, fingertips, noses, and tails, as they have the least protection and will have the worst damage.

You’re going to want to very VERY slowly warm up the bitty, starting with lukewarm to cool temperatures since their body temperature is so low that any real heat can feel like burning as their bodies try to compensate. You want the bitty to start shivering, as this will show that their bodies are attempting to self-regulate again and they’re warming up safely. It may be very scary at first, as sometimes the shivering can be so intense it may look like a seizure, but keep them in a safe space contained or near the ground on something soft so they can’t flail and hurt themselves. Once they’re warmed up to shivering, you can graduate to warmer and warmer temperatures.

Frostbite can cause effects much like a severe burn, including blisters and peeling, and it can be incredibly painful, so you’re going to want to have something like a diluted aloe vera solution or a mild analgesic ointment on hand to help with the pain. DO NOT TAKE ANY ORAL PAIN MEDICATION. The metabolism is so slow that the medication won’t kick in for at least twice the normal time period, and it is very easy to accidentally overdose a being that’s only 5-10 inches tall.

If the bitty is still in pain, and seems to have trouble either feeling the affects extremities or is otherwise clumsy and uncoordinated, then it would be best to bring them in for a full medical screening. The Sanctuary is a bit out in the boonies, so double check your near area for places like @vex-bittys or @wonderland-isles who are adoption agencies with specialized medical staff and equipment that are also in a little more urban areas easier to reach.

Should you come to the Sanctuary, we’ll ask you some questions about the location and how long it took to revive the bitty while Halim and his assistants work on the medical side of things. Halim is especially good at mixing traditional and magical healing methods, so if surgery is a requirement, I trust he will do everything in his power to ensure the bitty survives the procedure and any follow up procedures to help improve later quality of life.

I went on a bit there, but I hope that helps.

hye folks happy you can go along with me again for some more travel tips today and explicitly discussing air terminal and security travel tips







My activity as an abroad purchaser and my affection for making a trip has sent me to a wide range of various nations and spots. So I should go through days, even a very long time in air terminals. Furthermore, these are things I've learned en route that assist me with having a superior excursion each time. Tip number one is to check in online at the earliest opportunity. Early check in will guarantee that you get first dibs on those plane seats. I would suggest that you pick seats in the front of the plane however much as could be expected.

This will ensure that you get off the plane first. This is particularly significant on the off chance that you have a corresponding flight, if your plane is running late, getting off that plane an additional 15 minutes sooner will have the effect once in a while between getting the flight and missing it. Another motivation to do early check in is that aircrafts regularly overbooked their flights. Despite the fact that you paid for your seat. It doesn't ensure that they'll put you on that flight. They can undoubtedly knock you to another flight like a later flight.

Checking in early will ensure that you pull up a chair and that way you're more averse to be knock off. Tip number two is to get to the air terminal early. I know many individuals like to get to the air terminal not long before their flight leaves, so they don't need to hold up quite a while. However, I've learned after some time that such a large number of things can turn out badly. This is particularly evident if it resembles a truly active time at the air terminal, such as during occasions or in the event that you realize that it's a huge travel season.

Security lines can be super long. So ensure you consider and get to the air terminal prior. I recommend you show up at the air terminal in any event one hour before your trip for homegrown flights and a few hours before for a global flight. Getting to the air terminal prior, as well, is much less upsetting. You're simply going to pass security and afterward have the opportunity to unwind. It's far superior to going through the lobby, practically failing to catch your plane and being overly worried.

Tip number three is that in case you're heading to the air terminal, ensure you snap a photo of where your vehicle is left. A great deal of you realize that it is so natural to overlook where you left your vehicle after a truly long flight or a long outing.

So snapping a photo of the parking area number will ensure that you'll discover your vehicle effectively when you return from your excursion. Tip number four is to ensure that your baggage is effectively conspicuous. Most gear comes in three conventional tones, dark, dim and red. Five get lost constantly on the grounds that individuals simply get a sack that resembles theirs and leave and they don't see that they have an inappropriate pack until they show up home. To dodge this, label your baggage with something overly conspicuous, similar to a splendid, fun gear tag, a scarf, or perhaps enclose your baggage by a lash.

That is bright. By and by, I travel with these great little travel labels that are formed like creature faces. I have a little monkey and a little fuchsia pink elephant, and that makes it such a great amount of simpler for me to discover my gear actually rapidly when it comes out.

Tip number five is to pack your Carry-On in view of security. Presently, before pressing your Carry-On, simply check with your aircraft and ensure that your carry on doesn't surpass the size or the weight limitation.

Check early the principles and guideline of the air terminals in your own nation and see what you're permitted to acquire your lightweight suitcase. When in doubt, fluids and gels all must be stuffed in a three ounce or less holder, and they likewise need to fit into a one quarter size sack. I like to put this one quart size pack in a spot that is effectively open in my Carry-On so I can haul it out immediately when it's an ideal opportunity to pass security.

Presently, all doctor prescribed medicine ought to likewise be in your Carry-On and it ought to be left in the first jugs are in the first bundling so they're effectively recognizable. You'll additionally need to ensure that in case you're conveying a PC or an iPad, that it's completely energized on the grounds that regularly they'll request that you open it or turn it on. Additionally, ensure that you're not conveying any combustible things. You're not permitted guns or any sharp articles. So be cautious, in light of the fact that a ton I see many individuals get their stuff seized men, particularly in the event that they convey these little Swiss Army blade on their key chains and afterward they need to surrender it at the air terminal and they're outrageously vexed about it.

Tip number six is to have your desk work prepared, ensure your international IDs, your I.D., your tickets are generally effectively available. It assists with staying with them in a different. Men like you, they're an identification holder or an I.D. holder for fast and simple access,

tip number seven is to bring yourself a vacant water bottle. When you pass security, you'll have the option to top off that water bottle before getting onto the plane. It's obviously superior to spending a little fortune on air terminal water containers, and it assists with sparing the climate.

Tip number eight, if picking between a privilege or a left line in security check, consistently go for the left path. Individuals are generally right given and they'll set out toward that correct path intuitively. So normally the left path is an a lot quicker alternative. Additionally, don't really choose the shorter line scope the individuals who are in those lines before you. In the event that you see a line with brimming with financial specialists and it's more drawn out than a line with a family going with little youngsters, pick the line with money managers, it will frequently be quicker than if you go with the family.

The family going with small kids will have carriages and numerous sacks to open up at security, and it'll really take you longer to pass the security check than if you go in the line with finance managers who are accustomed to voyaging. Tip number nine is to dress for your flight. In light of security, in case you're taking a flight that they simply keep your gems, your PDA, your change, your wallet, every one of those things in your Carry-On. So way you're not unfilled your pockets at the security line.

This will make it a breeze to overcome security, but on the other hand it will guarantee that you remember your possessions in those security containers. Additionally, much of the time, you will be needed to take off your shoes or your boots to pass security. So you need to ensure that you're wearing a couple of shoes that doesn't have a ton of bands or clasps or that that are difficult to eliminate or put on. I generally simply pick to wear slip on shoes.

That way they're overly simple to sneak off. I can place them in the container across security and put them directly back on and I'm on my way. Tip number ten. In case you're running late and your plane is loading up or going to load up, ensure you tell somebody, tell a security official or somebody in control, they'll frequently assist you with falling through the line somewhat speedier and get to the door snappier. You can likewise solicit individuals in front from you, simply clarify your circumstance, say that you're regarding to fail to catch your plane, that your flight is loading up, and regularly individuals are truly understanding they'll let you through or they're released you in front of them.

Tip number eleven is to be mindful so as not to overlook you're charging Wayas for your telephone and your iPad.

This has transpired once. I was charging my telephone the night prior to a flight and I left actually rapidly the following day and I overlooked the wire and the charging block. In case you're at the air terminal and you understand that you overlooked your stuff, don't freeze. Simply go to the lost and found at the air terminal. Anything that has been left there for 90 days or more is available for anyone. They will frequently simply give you a telephone charger complimentary.

Another extraordinary activity is to pack an additional telephone charger in your handled in baggage. So in the event that you overlook it and you don't have it on your portable luggage, at any rate you'll have it once you show up at your objective. So you charge your telephone for your excursion to number 12 is to attempt to gain admittance to air terminal parlors. Air terminal parlors are incredible to simply chill and hang tight for your flight. You get free Wi-Fi, free food and beverages and free understanding material.

In addition, if your flight is postponed, it's quite a lot more agreeable to simply hold up there than in a hardened air terminal seat. The most ideal approach to do this is exploit your preferred customer credits in case you're someone who voyages a great deal now, in the event that you don't have preferred customer credits, check with your Mastercard. A great deal of Visas offer free admittance to air terminal parlors. Another choice is to beware of keeg or eBay for air terminal parlor passes. This may be a wise venture on the off chance that you know early that you will be stuck in an air terminal for truly long delay.

Alright, tip number thirteen is to bring yourself a coat or something warm. Regardless of whether it's the late spring, once in a while it's truly cold in the air terminals and particularly in the plane. So you need to ensure that you have a little coat or a wrap or something to conceal and keep warm. Furthermore, these things are additionally incredible. On the off chance that your flight gets deferred and you're there quite a while and you need to sleep, you can utilize your coat as a cushion or as somewhat cover to conceal.
