A month in uni: first breakdown

'studying' w jake -requested

tw// make out, suggestive, it's just kisses

jake is a sweethear. he is always willing to help others and never failed to make other's lives easier. and that only got intensified when you came around. you don't even need to voice your needs, jake would always be there for you. but once he is looking too munch at you, his pretty baby, his boyfriend duties will stop. so studying with jake always goes the same : he will help you w your homeworks then lose himself in you and finally he would try to steal your attention, and, obviously he always succeed, ending up to kiss you.

he was so happy when you texted him expressing your dismay towards ur physics studies, and he would come to your rescue, wanting to help you. and as he always wants to be with you and is always willing to be good for you, he would arrive, full of excitement, imaginary tail waving, hi baby, thank you for calling me, he would say giving you a quick peck before entering your apartment. he would sit next to youur stationary on your desk, waiting for you to sit.

as he started to help/teach you your studies, he was really focus on your understanding and your upcoming exams, but as times passed by, and seeing your pretty focused face, he couldn't help but be pulled by you. he couldn't care less about whatever you guys were doing, he just wanted his attention to be on you n yours on him. so he would give u a hard problem so that he can taste the waters, knowing if it possible to steal you from your studies and so he can stare at you. the sight of seeing you being so hardworking, understanding so fast n so well that you can do a whole new exercice, is so hot to him. your furrowed eyebrows and your pickered soft lips, would make him so dizzy. but the worst for him would be you playing around with your pen, putting it near your lips, a motion that display your focus. that single movement turn something in him and he wouldn't wait anymore time.

as you finished your exercise, you'd show the paper to him w happy words coming from your mouth. he wouldn't listen to you nor look away from your lips, them being hypnotizing to his weak mind. his body works in automatic, only needing you, taking the paper away from your hands. i'm so proud of you, baby he murmur sensually, i knew you could do it, my smart smart girl, he would add, then taking your now free hand forcefully leading you on his lap. you could try to protest, telling him he only came to help you study but he'd show you your well done exercice back, so for what reason would he let you off ? can i get a kiss from my smart pretty girl ?ᩚ just one and i'll let you finish, i promise, he'd say smile shamelessly lying, before leaning it with a slow kiss. he'd have his hands on your waist, keeping himself steady from. during your small makeout w him he would talk you thru it you're so hot when you focus do you know that, baby ? or my smart little princess. after showering you with kisses and hot words, he'd stop mid make out, successfully getting your attention. of course it hasn't enough for him but he wants you to want him, so he would give you another problem, not even caring about your current state, you still facing him. go ahead baby, you still have your exam soon, we can't have you taking too munch break umh ? he would tease you, putting s stray if your hair behind your ear. you obsviouky cant focus anymore, feeling his body underneath you n his hands still strocking you in allthe places he wants. he knows what he is doing and if he is rralky in a teasing mood he would kiss your neck. can't do the exercice baby ? is something bothering you ?, you we're doing so well earlier, what happened ? he would say w faux honnesty. he knows he wons you over your studies and will have you as he wishes.

if he isn't in the teasing mood and is just bored, he wouldn't let it pass too, finding that you've studied enough. baby could we cuddle ? he would bluntly ask not caring after ur successful attempt on doing his exercise. if you say no, n that you still need to study, tho you don't, he would just stare at you, giving you his puppy eyes paired w his adorable pout. that would only last minutes, his patience running low n his needs running high, before he'd ask you again please baby, you don't need to study anymore, his head hanging low on your shoulder, you're puppy is missing you words shining of neediness. if u can hankde his puppy eyes or his whines, he would level up, his face coming further into your neck, finally strating to take what he wants. please my love, i miss you, he murmurs, his hot breath hitting the crook if ur nap. he would also staring kissing you there, his hand softly stroking your arm reaching your hand. and finally, when he realizes you're not fighting against his temptation by letting him removing the pen in your hand, he would make you look at him, haven't i been good to you for you to just cuddle me ?

notes : hi anon i hope that you enjoyed it >< i feel like jake is makeout kinda guys, specailly when he thinks youre pretty i hope it wasn't too munch for u as ive never written them before,,, i made the second part in case it is for u <3 please lemme kno what you think in the inbox >___<

buck spiraling and wondering if maybe eddie thinks he has too much belly??? ready to start working out with specific exercices for this, meanwhile eddie is having sweet dreams of a pregnant belly buck. in a nightmare of their own making because the more buck works out and has a more defined belly, the more eddie looks at it with furrow brows, which makes buck spirals even more. freak4freak🎉

no literally!!! and eddie keeps trying to give buck food throughout the day and distracting him from working out all the time. he comes home on sunday with a dozen of buck’s favorite donuts and keeps pushing him to have just one more. and when buck says he’s going to work out at the station eddie “falls asleep” on his shoulder because he knows buck won’t want to move and wake him up.

and one day they’re shaving side by side at home and buck says “oh hey i think you can see my abs again!” eddie scowls and scoffs, “your abs are stupid.” and buck is all “😧🫥😥😔” and eddie finally cracks and says, “that should be my baby in there not your abs,” as he points to buck’s belly.

₊✩‧₊˚౨HOW TO MANIFEST ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

Before asking questions, read this and send a ask only if this doesn't answer your doubts.

To manifest you have to stop identify yourself with the 3d. When you are manifesting you start with a state of lack because you desire something. You desire because you don't have it.

You don't have it the 3d will reflect the state of you not having it. You are occupying a state lack.

Your 3d can't reflect a state of being fulfilled if your innerself is occupying a state of lack.

What you need to do is occupying a state of already having your desire.

How to occupy a state?

You occupy a state or a reality by experiencing it with the senses.

When you focus on your 3d (3d of lack) you are ignoring the 4d by experiencing the 3d with your senses. As a result you are occupying a state of lack.

When you focus on your 4d (4d of fulfilment) you are ignoring your 3d by experiencing the 4d with your senses. As a result you are occupying a state of fulfilment.

How to Persist in the new state :

Always go back to that state, occupy that state like a house. Occupy your 4d world. The more your exercice your 4d senses, the more it will be easy to occupy that state.

Don't put logic and don't take actions

Logic doesn't work with imagination. Logic is limitation, in the 4d world you are limitless. You can fly, breath under water. Identify with your true identity, as a limitless person not as a person who is a result of others people assumptions or bad experiences.

Taking action is useless. You can butter your face with the most expensive cream in the world and still having acne because you are occupying a state of having a bad skin. You can diet and work out 8h a day but still be overweight because you are occupying a state of being overweight. Just occupy the state in the 4d because of you want to be slim in the 4d, you are just being it. You don't diet in the 4d, you don't work out in the 4d, you are just being it.

How to ignore the 3d?

Fulfill yourself with the 4d desired state and experience it with your senses. The 3d is a reflection on your inner state.

The inner self will express itself in the 4d :

Your 3d is not your bitch, slave or servant. It's a result of your inner state. When you start to manifest you start with a state of '' wanting it ''. With the inner self wanting it, it means you don't have it. The 3d then will reflect that state of the inner self not having it.

Do the same but with the state of having it.

Living in the end = your 4d's present

Look into your 4d's 3d :

Your 4d is a 3d already conformed to your desired assumption. If you check for validation look here.

You don't need self concept, healing inner child, chakra, stones etc

If you want to feel loved in your 4d, you don't have to heal your inner child to feel loved. You are just being it, by seeing your Sp smiling at you, hearing him telling nice things to you. You are just being it. Your inner self doesn't need all that healing process to be healed. They are just being healed, occupying a state of being healed. So do you.

Glad to help 🩷

Bonjour, je vais commencer par publier ma première histoire sur la croissance. Je tiens à préciser que je suis débutant en matière d'histoire donc elle risque d'être assez courte et peut-être pas aussi excitante que mes préd��cesseur.

Alan était un jeune homme très fin, sans charisme et peu viril. Il aimait les hommes et les femmes mais personne le remarquait. Il passait inaperçu et avait peu d'ami. Il se sentait faible et manquait d'assurance. Il décida de prendre de se prendre en main. Alors, Alan s'inscrit à la salle de sport à côté de chez lui pour devenir plus fort et plus musclé.

Alan était trop timide et peureux pour partir à la salle de sport. Il avait peur du regard des autres et il était agoraphobe. Alan se mit en tête de partir à la salle de sport 1h avant la fermeture. Il se dit qu'il aurait le temps de faire sa séance et qu'il y'aurait peu de personne à cette heure-ci.

Le premier jour à la salle, il était perdu. Il ne savait pas quel exercices il devait faire. Il y avait quasiment personne. Les quelques personnes présentes était concentrées sur leurs exercices. Donc personne ne pouvait l'aider et le conseiller. Il essaya les différentes machines de musculation mais les charges étaient trop lourde pour lui. Il n'arrivait à rien. Il se sentait frustré de ne pas réussir à soulever des poids. Il commença à rassembler ces affaires pour rentrer chez lui. Mais juste avant de partir, il vit un bel homme musclé, viril et transpirant rentrer dans les vestiaires. Il devait avoir finis sa séance de musculation. Alan décida finalement de suivre ce bel homme dans les vestiaires. Il fit semblant d'avoir oublié quelque chose dans les vestiaires. Il voulait absolument se rincer l'œil discrètement sur ce bel étalon. Dès qu'Alan rentra dans les vestiaires il sentit une forte de transpiration et de pieds. Il reconnu l'odeur de ce mâle. Malheureusement pour lui, il n'y avait personne dans les vestiaires, aucun bruit. Alan était persuadé avoir vu cet homme rentrer dans les vestiaires mais il n'y avait rien en dehors d'un short blanc posé sur le banc. Ce short blanc n'avait rien de spécial mais Alan était étrangement attirer par ce short. L'odeur était de plus en plus forte près du banc. Alan se rendait compte que l'odeur émanait du short blanc. Il se rapprocha du short, puis de manière inexpliqué il le prenait dans ces mains. Il était hypnotisé par le short. Il sentit le short blanc. L'odeur était incroyable pour Alan. Le short sentait la transpiration, le musc et étonnamment les pieds. L'odeur était tellement enivrante qu'il commença à bander. Alan voulait absolument porter ce short, il était obnubilé par le short et ces odeurs. Son rêve était de garder ces odeurs sur lui, toute la journée. Il s'enferma dans les douches, il s'est mit tous nu. Il commença à enfiler le short au niveau de ces jambes. Ces jambes grandirent. Il senta ces pieds grandirent et grossirent. Ces pieds sentait le musc et la transpiration. Alan n'était pas horrifié, il aimait cette sensation de chaleur et cette odeur le parcourir.

Il commença à l'enfiler sur sa queue. Au bout de quelque secondes, il se sentit sa queue croître. Il ressenti un plaisir immense traverser sa queue. Il se mit à gémir. Le plaisir remonta vers ces abdominaux. Ils commençaient à devenir aussi dur que du béton

Le plaisir monta jusqu'à ces pecs. Ces pecs devenaient proéminent et volumineux. Ces aisselles devenaient poilus et puante. Alan aimait cette odeur sous ces aisselles. Le plaisir monta jusqu'à sa tête. Une barbe commença à pousser sur son visage. Alan était imberbe jusqu'à présent. Son visage se remedola. Alan se mit à se branler. Il toucha sa longue queue sensible. Le plaisir devenait si intense qu'il se mit à éjaculer des flots de sperme sur le sol. Puis Alan s'est évanoui dans la cabine de douche.

Lorsqu'il se réveilla, il oublia tous ces anciens souvenirs à propos d'Alan. Il s'appelait maintenant Aiden. De nouveau souvenirs commença à émerger. Il se rappelais qu'il était un pratiquant de muscu et un ancien capitaine de l'équipe de lutte au lycée. Il était adulé par tous les garçons de sa classe. Il s'est tapé beaucoup de fille et beaucoup de mecs dans sa vie. La chose qu'il aimait le plus en dehors du sport c'était le sexe. Il aimait qu'on s'occupe de sa queue mais aussi de ces pieds transpirant. Aiden aimait cette odeur après la muscu. Aiden s'est habillé. Il ne voulait pas se doucher après sa séance de musculation car un petit minet l'attendait chez lui. Ce petit minet devait lui décrasser ces pieds de taille 46 et lui pomper tous son jus.

Okay hear me out: what about ruben’s girlfriend losing her memory temporarily, and ruben literally leaves everything to take care of her. He asks some time away from football to help her on her recovery journey, and he would make her one of his usual breakfasts, full of nutrients and he would help her exercice slowly and would help her remember little things at a time, and he would just do everything for her well being 🥺

THIS IS THE ONE, MY 100TH RUBEN FIC! 🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️🥳❤️🥳❤️🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Love the many requests I've received, I have stories for days now 😅. But in honor of my 100th Ruben Dias fic I have written a 8 part series based on this request. Hope you enjoy!

Ruben Dias x Reader - Remember You and Me Part 1/8

Enjoy!

You slowly opened your eyes, groggily taking in your surroundings. You were in a hospital room, surrounded by your family and a man you had never seen before. The man, who you assumed was a nurse, was holding your hand and smiling at you.

"Hello, honey. Welcome back" your mother said warmly.

"What's going on." You grunted. The pain hit you all at once as you tried to sit up.

"What hurts the most?" Your mother was quick to pat you down, not wanting you to over extend yourself.

"My neck." You said and reached up to touch the brace that covered your throat.

"The doctors say you have to wear it for a couple of weeks. You were in a terrible car accident that almost left you paralyzied head down."

"What?" You tried to sit up again but squirmed as the pain hit.

"Careful." Said the male nurse, still holding your hand in his. "I know this isn't easy for you to hear Y/N," He said. "but the truth is that you've been in a coma for the last four days. You've had multiple injuries on your spine, ribs and if it wasn't for the doctors deciding to put you in a sedative state your brain would still be swelling."

Your brain swelled with all the information you were given. "I want to go home." You said. You hated the smell of hospitals and always have.

"I know honey, I know." Your mom stroked your head. "But I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"Why not?" You looked around the room, meeting the faces of your family. They all carried the same expression of sadness and concern for you.

"What's going on?" You said through the tubes plugged in your nose.

"Honey..." Your mother tried to break it to you easily. "You don't live with us anymore, you haven't done so in the past five years."

"Um, what?"

"Honey, what is your last memory? How old do you think you are?"

"Mom what are you...I'm nineteen years old and I live with you, dad and Eddie. Why are you asking me these stupid questions? Why am I in the hospital, what happened to me?"

You were getting quite worked up, however your mother was patient. "Y/N, the doctors suspect a temporary memory loss as a result of your severe head trauma. You are not nineteen years old but twenty four years old. And you don't live with your father and I, you live in England with your husband, Ruben."

Your mother pointed to the nurse standing next to your bed, his hand still intertwined with yours.

"My what?" Your eyes widened in confusion. Husband? You had no memory of getting married. In fact, you had no memory of anything that had happened since you were a teenager. "What do you mean?" You asked, voice shaking. "I don't remember getting married."

The nurse smile faltered for a moment, but then he took a deep breath and explained. "You were in a terrible car accident a few days ago. And in a coma ever since this morning, when you finally woke up, not remembering anything. We've been trying to help you remember, but it's been a slow process."

Your mind was reeling. You had no memory of your childhood, your friends, your job, or anything else. It was as if your entire life had been erased.

"Mommy." You cried, letting go of the nurse/your husband's hand. "I want to go home, take me home right now."

"I know sweetie, I know." She brought you in for a hug, a tight and safe mommy hug. "The doctors say that your memory loss is only temporary, that it will come to you naturally as you go on with your daily life."

"Okay, so I'm free to leave the hospital then?"

"Yes, the sooner the better. However you have to leave with Ruben not us."

"What? I can't go live with him, he's a stranger I don't even know him."

The man's eyes widened in suprise, his expression unreadable.

"Yes, you do honey." Your mother was determined. "Ruben is your husband and you must stay with him. We will be here through your recovery, every step of the way. But for your memory to return to you naturally you must go back to living your old life, the life you spent together with Ruben, your husband."

Fanfic writer interview

tagged by: @purple-iris

Thank you for the tag, i love those!!

what fandoms do you write in? So many! Star Wars, Dr. Strange, Dream SMP, Avatar the last airbender... and this year I wrote several one shot for the movie The Count Of Montecristo 2024 (it's currently in US theaters and an amazing movie, go see it!!) and the tv serie Nautilus (misadvantures of a crew of misfit led by Captain Nemo. Yes the jules verne one. It's like a gathering of whump and angst trope, I advise it!!)

how many words have you published in 2024?Wow that's hard to calculate! Since I have some WIPs over several years, i can’t use AO3 function xd. Plus I translated a lot of my work this year, which artificially double the written amount. AO3 says 230k words, I'm honestly too lazy to count the true number, but I'd say it's between 50k and 100k.

what is your greatest achievement this year? I finished my first longfic, Dreamt of a Never Ending Sky!! It's 56k word and I began it three years ago. This was the end of a long road but it feel so satisfying to have reached it's closing point. 🎶

what are your top three fics you've written this year? Hard choice. Mhhh...

🪽 The Caucasian Eagles serie - bcs adding wings to the montecristo universe and brainstorming around it with fandom friends was an amazing experience.

🪽 Do Sea Monsters Dream of Pink Shellfishes? — I honestly love all the nautilus fanfic i wrote bcs this serie has so many fic whump and angst potential to play with. But i was particularly fond of that one because "becoming a monster" trope, plus I got attached to eel!Nemo I can't help it xd.

🪽 Unhinged Vaderkin Prompt Collection — it's more a snippet-prompt collection for all the ideas roaming in my head, but there are so many that it feel very satisfying to share them. And it does make me write a short snippet for each universe which is a fun exercice.

what was your biggest pit of despair moment? I have been in a writing hiatus for two months now, and haven't written much compared to last year >.> But I guess it's a necessary rest.

what have you learned? Unrelatedly, instead of writing I drew quite a bit. So i learnt that I actually can draw! With the help of a tablet xd. (I did make good use of that break time to read delicious stories :3.) Please check my drawing account @sinvulkt-art , it needs some love :3.

did you beta any fics? any faves you want to shout out? I beta-ed lot of fics! This year, mostly the ones of my co-writers for The Caucasian Eagles and in the Nautilus fandom.

what three fics have you read this year that you love? That choice is so hard because there are so many great fics out there. Can't I make it five? XD.

Nemesis by MorallyGrey ( @silverinkgoldenquill )

I try to live in the now… Where the ghosts of old wrongs do not abide." Nemo turned his back on the past for a long time, perhaps for too long. Now, snatched from his own ship, he has little choice but to work for a man whom he long thought, and wished to be dead. His only hope is the League, but that means uncovering dark secrets. Secrets that, some would say, should have remained unearthed… (A Sequel to the LXG 2003 Movie)- Minor edits 2024. 180k words.

From the Ashes by renegade_of_theworld ( @renegadeoftheworld )

The story took a different turn after the Siege of the North when Zuko was captured by the Water Tribe.

A lot of prisoner trope, found families, and not-adoptions... And Zuko having to deal with more trauma than in the canon. 480k words.

Body in Abyss, Heart in Abyss by Emerald_sealin

WARNING: Heavy Book 4 and 5 SPOILERS.

For 800 years Xie Lian fought for what he believed was right. He endured centuries of unearned torment, shouldered responsibilities bigger than he was, no matter what was thrown at him Xie Lian took it, Xie Lian bore it, Xie Lian soldiered on.

Until the final battle on Mount Tonglu, when Xie Lian looses for the last time.

And forgives....for the last time.

Finally, the god of Xianle will have his REVENGE! 59k words.

Not a fic, but I really wanna shout out to the webnovel & novel Omniscient Reader which I discovered one month ago and obsolutely broke my heart. I love it so much. It begin as such an ordinary story, but reaching its end sure make you think a lot and destroy you. Then the side story exist to crush whatever remain of your heart.

(I want to punch the narrator so much. Me wanting to punch the mc generally is a very good thing. It means they are an idiotTM. A very infuriating, smirking, wrong decision-maker, punchable idiot. It's amazing)

what ideas are percolating for next year? Advancing on my other WIPs and finishing as many of them as I can (namely finishing The Monster and the Child, advancing On the Edge of Twilight and What If Dr Strange Lost His Humanity)! And translating more one shot in french to boost a bit french fanfics I think.

who do you want to thank? Another hard question there XD. All my fandom buddies I think bcs stories are much more entertaining with people to engage with, all my mutuals, and all the people I keep tagging (harassing? XD) on tumblr for such games (hopefully you find them fun as well :3). Can't really quote everyone here, but @sarcasticfirefighter for welcoming me in the dr strange world a few years ago, @firejay112 bcs i had my best time in star wars as her beta, @tocacot who patiently support all my wild blabbering about omniscient reader... I was also overjoyed to collaborate with @ash--00 , @azzzryel and Enepfopi this year. I never really forgot my collaboration with @purpleopossum either. I am seriously impressed by @fanfictasia going through the wildly long list of prompt I gave them years ago (i know i'm super late to comment on them but you're doing great 💜). Additionally I want to thank @pat-the-togorian , @asteral-feileacan and the other taaoej gals for being great friends (and rpg buddies) :3.

Finally, let's say thanking the world for being alive XD and bcs i'm a very lucky person who got a phd I love.

More importantly, I wanna thank all the creators for creating, wether it be inside fandom or for original content. Never stop bringing new things into this world!! Even if you think everyone will hate it. We never know who will come to love and live thanks to our story~

Find the French word of the day

There is this game I like to play during my lunch break at work. It's called Cemantix

Everyday you have to find the word of the day. It's in French and maybe it could be a funny vocabulary exercice for those of you learning French ?

Basically you start with zero clue

You will start typing words and the program will tell you if you're getting closer. The hotter the temperature, the closer you are. You can type as many words as you want.

[There are two indicators : The temperature in °C (en degrés celsius) and the progression (en pourcentage) if you are above 39.33°C and above 900 % you're getting really close ]

Example with today's word : I always start with some really broad notions like : (un) gouvernement = government (une) couleur = color (émotion) = emotion

Gouvernement is interesting here. But be careful ! The final word might be very far away from the notion of "gouvernement". Now I'm going to try to come closer with words that are somewhat linked to the government. Even if you don't have a lot of French vocabulary, you have a brain that can still think of words linked to Gouvernement in your own language. So try looking them up in French and if you consider those words to be pretty important for you to know , you could write them down ? Or just play the game regularly and I think some words might just stick with you ! Words linked to "gouvernement" (une) nation = a nation (un) président = a president (le) pouvoir = power

Nation is now higher than Gouvernement so I'm going to look for words linked to "Nation" now ...and so on and so on until I can find the word of the day. Note : As I've mentionned, I play this game during my lunchbreak but sometimes, the word is hard to find...really hard. And if you're like me, you'll HAVE to find it. So it might be a bit frustating if you don't have a lot of time on your hand, so keep that in mind before playing ! There is a version in English aswell called cemantle.

CW: Spoilers for Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Series + Movies)

Pokemon teams for the Holy Quintet (help wanted)

This was initially meant to be a fun little thought exercice, but I ended up being really dissatisfied with some of the teams, and wondered if anyone could help? I'd appreciate any assistance given. Thank you ���

(Below are the teams I came up with, with Pokemons who don't fit as well as the others in bold.)

Madoka :

Arceus: In the Pokemon universe, Arceus is pretty much a god. It created the universe, created the first Pokemon (Mew) and overall fulfilled a role similar to the one of a deity, which I thought was fitting for Madoka, as she herself becomes a "god" (or at least is referred to as such by Homura).

Audino: Audino is an extremely sensitive Pokemon, able to hear people's emotions, and sense when an egg is about to hatch. This last part, in my eyes, made Audino an extremely interesting Pokemon to give Madoka, as I assume it would be able to sense when a Soul Gem is about to turn into a Grief Seed. Audino's normal form also match Madoka magical girl design, while its mega evolution pairs well with Ultimate Madoka's design.

Another Pokemon that could fulfill a similar role and fit Madoka just as well would be Blissey. Audino or Victini could be switched with Blissey to give Madoka a team more representative of her character.

Decidueye: The only Pokemon I could think of that uses an arrow.

Jirachi: The Wish Pokemon.

Sylveon: The Intertwinning Pokemon. According to its Pokedex entries, Sylveon can't stand fighting, and will use its ribbons to calm fights. Considering how many times Madoka tried to stop fights among her fellow magical girls to take place, Sylveon felt like a logical pick. Additionally, it matches her color scheme and overall them, and it only felt appropriate to give Madoka a Pokemon with ribbons considering the emotional value her little hairbows end up taking (Sylveon's ribbons also remind me of the Incubators' second pair of ears).

Considering that Madoka spends most of the series not as a magical girl, but as a normal girl, considering whether or not to make a wish and what wish could be worth it, Sylveon could be switched with a simpler Eevee. This would allow Mami to get a Sylveon of her own. However, because a lot of Madoka's team is meant to fit her magical girl aesthetic, I do still think Sylveon might be a better pick for her.

Victini: The Victory Pokemon. It doesn't matter how many times Homura had to go back in time for it to finally happen, Madoka finally ended up winning against witches for good. This could be seen as victory (Victini) being on her side.

Other Pokemons that would fit the last spot of her team nicely would be Blissey (mentioned earlier) and Cherrim, the Blossom Pokemon who looks like a Sakura flower, Madoka's motif.

What the current team would look like (a size chart tool was used to make sure the scale used was correct, based on production notes for Madoka and Pokedex entries for her team):

Homura :

Dialga: The Time Pokemon.

Espeon: While Umbreon might seem like a better fit for Homura, both need to reach a certain friendship level to evolve which fits Homura perfectly considering that Madoka was her only friend, and this is what motivated her to go back in time to save her in the first place. What makes Espeon a better fit than Umbreon in my eyes (on top of its Psychic type which makes sense for Homura) is how much of its Pokedex entries actually focus on its unwavering loyality to its trainer. One of said Pokedex entries even says that Espeon developped precognitive powers in order to keep its trainer from harm which perfectly parallels the relation between Homura and Madoka.

Espurr: Espurr might look stoic and expressionless, but according to the Pokedex, an Espurr is constantly franticly fighting to keep its own psychic powers contained. It not only mirrors Homura's behavior throughout the series/ first 2 movies really well, it can also mirror her struggle to keep her Witch form contained at the end of the Rebellion movie.

Iron Valiant: Iron Valiant is the Paradox form of Gardevoir/Gallade (it's from the future).

I considered giving it to Kyoko due to its appearance and the fact it has a spear, but ended up deciding against, considering Homura having a Paradox Pokemon made more sense in my eyes.

Gardevoir: To protect its Trainer, it will expend all its psychic power to create a small black hole. Additionally, like most of Homura's team, it can see the future. Need I say more?

Xatu: Xatu is said to be able to see the future without ever being able to change it, which is a fate shared by Homura in the previous timelines, as she tried to change things without ever managing to change the final outcome.

Overall, I think Homura's team might be the most accurate to her character out of all the girls. This is what the current team looks like (same as Madoka, I used a comparative chart tool to determine their sizes, but I had to size Dialga down a little, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see Espurr at all):

Mami :

Blastoise: The only Pokemon I could think of with "guns".

Leavanny: Leavanny is a Pokemon with motherly instincts, that seems to enjoy taking care of smaller Pokemons, similarly to how Mami seems to enjoy taking care of younger magical girls. It is a Pokemon who makes clothes for younger Pokemons, and in the Rebellion movie, Mami made Bebe's clothes by hand. Leavanny also has a gentle dispositions, safe for when you attack younger Pokemons (which, once again, is reminiscent of Mami).

Ribombee: Ribombee just... Looks like Mami. That's all the reason there is, they just work so well together.

Cinccino: Considering I gave Madoka a Sylveon, I couldn't give Mami one as well, so I decided Cinccino would have to do ribbon wise. Cincinno's furr also defflect attacks and is remarkably soft, but unfortunately, this is a pretty weak argumentation.

Any member of Flabébé's evolutionary line could easily replace Cinccino, as they have access to Vine Whip which could serve as a sort of substitute for Mami's ribbons. They also have a flower motif, like Mami herself (transformation scene + Soul Gem).

Polteageist: Mami serves tea to Madoka and Sayaka upon meeting them, so I guess a tea Pokemon could make sense?

If you have any suggestion for a Pokemon to replace Polteageist, I'm listening, it is far from a perfect fit for Mami.

Slurpuff: Charlotte/Bebe/Nagisa is the Dessert Witch, and in the Rebellion movie, her and Mami are very close. It makes sense for Mami to at least have a Pokemon reflecting this.

Other Pokemons that could fit this idea would be Tandemaus, which could serve as a reference to Charlotte's familiars, Banette, who vaguely ressemble Bebe, or Hatenna for the same reasons.

Once again, here's how the team look:

Sayaka :

Alomomola: To my knowledge, Alomomola is the only Water type Pokemon with the Healer ability, and I really wanted Sayaka to have a Water team. According to the Pokedex, Alomomola is also covered by a special membrane that heals other Pokemon, and it likes to heal the weakened. Considering Sayaka's wish, I thought it made sense.

Another ability that would fit Sayaka would be Water Absorb, which is an ability Pokemons like Vaporeon or Quagsire can get, and either would fit Sayaka's team.

Gallade: Gallade has a sort of knight theme going on, with his Mega Evolution even getting a cape, like Sayaka.

Keldeo: Keldeo as a Pokemon reflects Sayaka's journey fairly well. To get to its resolute form, Keldeo is said to need to endure hardship, but before that, Keldeo is described as an enthusiastic learner. Once in its resolute form, the description (in Sword and Shield) are more focused around how strong it now is, which reminds me of how Sayaka viewed herself: at first excited to become a magical girl, then a little less, then not at all, she only saw it as a duty and completely drowned herself in it, and I think Keldeo is a good Pokemon to reflect that.

Primarina: Primarina reminds me of Oktavia, with the music theme and mermaid tail.

Samurott: Another Pokemon with swords, who protects order and is insistent on rules being followed.

Kingdra: I just needed a last Pokemon for Sayaka

Both Kingdra and Samurott could and probably should be changed, however I don't really know what to put in their respectives places. Any recommendation or direction would be appreciated.

Kyoko :

Blaziken: A Pokemon with powerful legs, and blazing punches, because I couldn't think of a Pokemon with a spear.

Pokemons holding a spear or with spear related moves could and probably should replace Blaziken.

Garchomp: While I couldn't think of a Pokemon with spears, Mega Garchomp has scythe like wings. It's also a Pokemon who is said to hunt (and thus eat) a lot, and who tends to have a feral nature. Some media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed to Mega Evolve, so I think her having a somewhat feral/distrustful Pokemon to get along with would be the kind of challenge she'd enjoy for some reason.

Morpeko: A constantly hungry Pokemon, who WILL become mad if hungry, which I thought was fitting.

Rapidash: Rapidash is canonically a competitive, brave and proud Pokemon with a fiery temperament. That sounds a lot like Kyoko (to me at least).

Volcanion: A Fire-Water type Pokemon, to symbolize her relationship with Sayaka. It's also a Pokemon that self isolates.

Volcarona: The Sun Pokemon (at least one of them). Considering how many cultures associate the sun with divinity, and that Volcarona, in Pokemon, was depicted as a deity of fire, I think it fits her backstory. On top of that, some people think Volcarona scatters burning scales to start fire, while others think it's to rescue those suffering from the cold. Considering Kyoko's view on helping others and how this is reflected in her actions, I think Volcarona is a great fit for her: you can't be sure of its intentions, all you can observe is how it acts. Similarly, while Kyoko hunts witches, you can't be 100% sure of the reason why, because despite her words, she doesn't act like she doesn't care about others.

Sorry if this was a (especially) long post, and thank you to anyone who reads and/or has suggestions to help improve their teams.

[kilfeur]

Ce chapitre est assez intéressant vu comment la guerre est traité, Henderson pensait que par exemple la radio serait une autre méthode d'éducation pour les gens et les informer. Mais au final, il sert surtout à propager la haine et la colère envers l'ennemi. On voit même les exercices d'alertes à la bombe, même si les élèves parlent beaucoup dans le bunker. Je les trouve relativement calmes malgré les bombardements, bon après j'imagine que même en temps de guerre, tu finis par t'habituer à ce genre de choses. Oui je sais c'est horrible dit comme ça. Mais j'imagine que c'était assez vrai durant la guerre.

Henderson voudrait croire à l'éducation mais à l'époque de la guerre où justement c'est un ère de "tuer ou être tué". Il a l'impression que le pouvoir de l'éducation s'affaiblit de plus en plus. Il se sentait impuissant suite aux arguments de Martha et de l'autre je comprends le ressenti de Martha, son rêve d'être une ballerine a été détruit par la guerre. C'est pourquoi elle a décidé de s'engager pour pouvoir protéger ce qui lui reste ! Car sinon, la guerre risque de tout lui prendre !

Après, j'ai bien aimé qu'Henderson se rend compte de ses erreurs et s'excuse auprès d'elle. Mais hélas Martha n'a jamais pu lui déclarer sa flamme alors que l'alarme à la bombe a été déclenché. Par contre un dialogue m'interpelle, dans le bunker, ils parlent d'expériences humaines au P.O.W.S (Est ce que ça a été abordé dans un chapitre ? Je m'en souviens plus). Mais c'est probablement un indice sur les origines d'Anya.

This chapter is quite interesting given the way war is treated, Henderson thought that, for example, radio would be another method of educating people and informing them. But in the end, it's mostly used to spread hatred and anger towards the enemy. We even see the bomb threat drills, even though the students talk a lot in the bunker. I find them relatively calm despite the bombings, although I guess even in time of war you get used to that sort of thing. Yes, I know it sounds horrible when you put it like that. But I imagine it was quite true during the war.

Henderson would like to believe in education, but in an era of war when it's “kill or be killed”. He feels that the power of education is weakening. He felt powerless in the face of Martha's arguments, and on the other hand, I understand Martha's feelings: her dream of being a ballerina was destroyed by the war. That's why she's decided to enlist, so she can protect what's left of her life! Because if she doesn't, the war could take everything away from her!

Then I liked Henderson's realization of his mistakes and apologizing to her. But unfortunately Martha never got the chance to declare her love for him when the bomb alarm went off. There's a bit of dialogue in the bunker about human experimentation at the P.O.W.S. (Did it ever come up in a chapter? I can't remember). But it's probably a clue to Anya's origins.

8 October, Tuesday 2024

Ouffffff

Last time I updated was almost a month ago and let me tell you that sooo much has happened.

(Needed to take some time for myself, and so much happened, didn't have the energy, nor felt the need to share on tumblr)

So,

Main events of the previous month:

- Had multiple outings with friends and family, was soo much fun, made some life memories ♡

- School started, I had to start this year in a degree I don't like, but hey I met soo much girls/friends and we happened to have so much in common, imagine my surprise when I discover thar one of them knows my cousin 🤨, so guess those 3 weeks in this degree were worth it ✨️✨️

- Now, the NEWS I was expecting since the start of september, I wanted to change studies to go into science and I GOT ACCEPTED. Well I have almost 3 weeks of classes to catch up on but at least I LOVE what I'm learning and studying. I definitely did not feel that in my previous degree, but now it's like I can finally exploit my skills and knowledge. I feel like im in the right field. Youhouuu! 🎉

(I'm also on the same campus than a cousin of mine and 2 close friends, isn't everything soo great? I rarely saw them before but now we often cross paths hehe, that's one of the perks of studying in the city you grew up in)

- I also met with multiple close friends I hadn't seen for a long time so it's also a positive note.

- Today, I had my first driving lesson, I never drove a car before so I will have to take between 30 and 35 hours of lesson.

Almost 60euros per lesson, oh gosh that's so expensive 💀💀💀💀

And my cousin only had to drive 20hours. HAAAAAA. *expressing frustration

And omg the instructor literally tried to intimidate me, I think she was testing me, she invaded my personal space, and I was like "Hehe alright when do we start " 😀 Ughh, help.

- I also watched the 2nd season of jjk, and damn gege, stop making the fans suffer.

(I never watch animes even tho I love them, so for me that was also an accomplishment)

Anddd that's it I guess.

Now

Personal goals:

Did I stop scrolling? No, but I'm not extremely addicted anymore, I can stop and not be distracted when I study so it means I improved on that point.

Those last 6 months struggles paid off it means 😁

(But I need to be careful to not fall back into it, I think it could easily happen)

I'm also including short exercices in my routine.

Stretching more often.

I still don't eat healthy, on this aspect I'm doing really bad at the moment 😓

But, I can study without distractions and actually work my lessons, that's a W.

What else could I mention?

Sleep: I have a nice sleep schedule now, I managed to sleep early almost every night and wake up early in the mornings, I feel rested and great.

Mental health: I think it's adulthood doing that to me but I've started to go from optimistic to pessimistic. I discovered lots of new negative feelings during the last year, I don't like how I'm changing negatively.

I guess I just had a taste of reality, not everything's perfect, neither are people, I guess I've started to come out of my bubbly wrapped pink dusted innocent view of life. Welcome to reality as they say. People are not as nice as I had always thought. I'm starting to not like people. But I only became 19 recently after all, i feel like a child mentally, am I not 1 year old in adulthood?

Anyway, I just want to be nice for the sake of it, does it mean they will see me as naive ans stupid? Well I am not, I just chose to be kind.

Let me fight evil with kindness.

Also need to work on my faith, because without it I lose my inner peace.

And to finish, let's talk about health; well, health wise I'm really not doing great. I really can't handle the humidity in my city and everyday I feel like im about to have a heart attack in the sense that I feel this humidity in my head, heart, bones, nose, throat, EVERYDAY. I really don't feel great, and I KNOW that's its because of how humid everything is.

I'm even 80% sure that it's because of the humidity that I developed so much allergies. Screw bad healthcare and bad doctors, in 6 years, couldn't they tell me that I was suffering everyday single day because I had developed so many allergies? Maybe it should have been obvious when I told them that I sneezed literally hundreds of times per day and had a very runny nose every day of the year FOR 6 YEARS

(I feel resentment)

Well.

Overall life has been 70% positive, 30% negative.

So much great things happened and I'm really happy but life's not easy for anyone and like any lambda human, I have my deal of problems.

But well, I think our purpose as humans is to keep trying to BE better and DO better.

So I won't give up, for the sake of my own life.

And we always have more good things in life than bad, others sometimes even have it worse, we just need to be open minded enough to see all the great things that have been granted to us.

Goodnight people.

N'abandonne pas, ça va aller <3

Crois en toi et continue à faire des efforts ✨️

Dose # 3 - letters [batch 1]

Introduction (◕ω◕✿)

I will not go over the normal order, but rather will choose an order of letters that has the most recurring letters, and the easiest ones to write.

Another important thing that we will focus on is the points of articulation, try to follow the points of articulation to the best of your ability instead of comparing the letter to the cloest english equivalent. It will help you pronounce the letters, and eventually the words with more clarity and closer to the way native speakers pronounce it.

I will also give you a photo of where these letters are in respect to the other alphabets.

The letters that we will cover in this batch are م ك ب

م Mīm

ك Kāf

ب Bāʾ

How to write it ♡(◕ᗜ◕✿)

These letters have 4 forms : initial, medial, final and isloated. Sometimes the isolated forms can come when the letter is preceeded by the 6 letters of exception which I mentioned before

اودذرز

For the letter م , here is a small visual tutorial on how to write the letter. Follow the order I've listed below :

For the letter ك start from the top right, then go to the bottom left in the isolated form and the beginning form.

Here is a small visual tutorial on how to write the letters. Follow the stroke order I've listed below :

As for the letter ب, it's relatively easy to write.

Letters + vowels (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

I also added the short vowel, the blue is ḍamma, the purple is sukoon (the absence of vowel); the green is fatḥa.

Keep in mind : we can not start a word with sukoon. It will come in the middle of a word or at the end.

With the long vowels :

Note : in order for the word to have a vowel, the ḥaraka must correspond with the long vowel. For example : fatḥa with alif ا, ḍamma with و and kasra with ي.

Here is what each one of the letters is like with tanween. Notice how tanween only comes at the end of the word, so it will be either on the form of the "end of the word" or the "isolated form" in case the letter is preceeded by ا-و-د-ذ-ر-ز.

The one is green is tanween fatḥ, the one in blue is tanween ḍam, the one in red is tanween kasr.

Here are some words, examples of what each letter looks like at the beginning, middle and the end of the word.

Follow the arrows to write the letter correctly. I will attach worksheets to help you practice.

Pronunciation (◕‸ ◕✿)

Here is an audio of the letters with harakāt, mudood and tanween

[م]

[ب]

[ك]

Practice (◕▿◕✿)

Use this sheet to practice writing the letters we learned in this lesson

You can use this sheet to practice if you don't have an arabic aligned notebook

Practice reading the letters with the harakat and mudood

Homework # 3 ♡(◕ᗜ◕✿)

Complete this exercice on this link. I highly encourage you to do the bonus question at the end.

Don't hesitate to send me questions anytime!

Happy learning!♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

2024, the year of many firsts

I can't believe that 2024 is already over. Time flies, especially now that I'm approaching my mid-thirties.

As a tradition, the new year is a time for me to reflect and acknowledge on what I achieved and where I need to improve.

2024 has definitely been a turning point in my life on many levels. It was a year of many firsts.

The biggest move this year was that I finally realized one of my dreams : becoming a journalist ! I wanted to do this job since I was 13 years old but growing up asian in France, there were no representation of asian in the medias and also asian families don't encourage their children to pursue this kind of career. Also, I received a lot of negative comments coming from adults, discouraging me, saying that I was too shy and that I was not vocal enough. Turned out that I was an introvert and that doesn't mean that I couldn't be a journalist. I also got a comment from my own genitor, saying that I was not pretty enough to do this job. Yes, adults telling those things to a child. I ended giving up this dream and pursued the classic path. But, I always felt miserable in my corporate jobs and the dream of becoming a journalist never faded. When I hit my thirties, I was more confident, so I started to look into changing my career path. It is finally after my year of expatriation in Ireland, that I signed up for a degree in multimedia journalism at the age of 33. Started in September 2023 and graduated in April 2024. Since then, I worked at a local journal this summer and did an internship in one of the biggest radio station in the world covering international news, Radio France Internationale. Now that 2024 has ended, I'm proud of how far I've come.

Getting back in the dating scene. That one is a really scary one. As someone with detachment and anxiety disorders due to CPTSD, emotional and physical neglect, getting close to people in a romantic way is probably my biggest struggle. I never found someone with who I totally clicked. Truth is I unconsciously reject people that try to get close to me or let people in, because I'm scared. This year I forced myself to meet new people. I can' t say that was a success, but it's a first step and I still want to continue on this path.

My first trip to Copenhague in Denmark ! My first time in a nordic country. That definitely was a highlight of 2024. I've always been attracted to this part of the world and this trip confirmed my love for it. I see myself living there. The way of life, the cultural scene, the architecture, the food... I can't wait to be back.

2024 was also the year where my body showed signs of aging. Ok, I'm only 34 but at this age the body is less flexible. If I sleep in a weird position, my body will ache the next morning. That's how I got for the first time ever, a stiff neck followed by terrible positional vertigoes after hours of non stop scrolling on the phone. That was one month before the start of my first job as a journalist. So stressful. The stiff neck was ok but the positional vertigoes, WOW, I didn't know what it was when I got it. If you have this for the first time it's really impressive because your head spin around even when you are laying on your bed. Very stressful but it eventually went away by itself (not totally though). The doctor doesn't really know why it happened in my case but I suspect the stiff neck combined with the obsessive scrolling on the phone for hours in a weird position is the reasons. Since then, I've reduced my time on the phone.

Naturally after the previous point which was a big signal from my body, I've decided to get a routine. Yoga in the morning and 2 to 3 times a week, doing gain strength exercices. For the first time in my life, I've been consistent to a routine. I remember the first few weeks were hard to stay motivated but finally, it has become a part of my life. And now, if I miss the routine, I feel something is lacking.

What can I wish for 2025 ? Well, the same commandments that I try to follow since my thirties.

I hope to stay true to myself,

and keep letting go things that I can't control. In other words, be less dramatic about things, I'm such an emo kid deep down.

Less screen time !!! For more reading. I'm challenging myself to read one book per month, which I failed doing in 2024.

Enjoying the present moment and not taking for granted my time with my family.

And the last one, creating, developing and maintaining genuine relationships.

Bye 2024, you've been kind to me, not easy sometimes but overall, I learned so much about myself and my abilities.

I wish you all a happy new year.
