i know a lot of people say things like 'if my post doesn't apply to you then its not for you' when they make advice posts, which i totally get. but when people make posts dissing picky eaters or adult cartoon fans or whatever, and other people point out that includes disabled adults, i feel like "oh i didn't mean them!" doesn't really work, y'know?
#mickey.txt#obviously its important for people esp adults to vary their diets and the media they consume and to exercise#and OBVIOUSLY disability doesn't excuse ignorance and bigotry#but let's be real: 95% of the time someone makes a generalization like#'people who can't order food without stuttering' or whatever#they're thinking of or vaguing a specific person they know#either online or irl#and honestly its fine if they don't like them or find them annoying or whatever#*what i mean is that unless someone specifically tells you. you don't know why they do what they do*#you don't know if they're disabled or mentally ill or what condition they have#again i wanna emphasize that disability and mental illness doesn't excuse being shitty#i'm talking about 'annoying' behaviors#like. sometimes disabled adults can only shower once a week. or they perfer cartoons over live action movies#or they only eat chicken nuggets and mac & cheese#or they cannot eat vegetables at all or WHATEVER#and again you can be annoyed by whoever. just remember you do not know WHY that specific person is like that#im rambling and idk 'its not that deep' but i hope i'm being clear#ik tone can be hard to read online but at times it feels we're sliding back into a bully culture yknow?#WAIT i didn't touch on it but i'm including 'girls who only had ice coffee for lunch' in this#because thats not a diet culture thing most of those girls bragging about that have an eating disorder

ALWAYS [Kakashi Hatake x Male Reader]
You sat at the base of a tree limb, watching as young Naruto sulked at the attention Sakura gave Sasuke. He was throwing a typical tantrum; arms cross, red face, loud voice. All while his peers ignored his antics in favor of the task ahead. You were watching team 7 briefly today per Kakashi’s request, he said be had things to do and you never questioned him too far past that - it wasn’t particularly your business anyways. You had asked the team to do some chakra exercises, Sasuke was watching closely as Sakura demonstrated a technique he was struggling with. She was quite talented in the chakra department for her age.
Naruto was in a tizzy about how close the two were. Sasuke’s obvious disinterest in the young girl clearly wasn’t enough to sooth Naruto’s worries, if anything it seemed to make the boy even angrier. You had been watching this train wreck for a good twenty minutes now; oh, to remember what it was like to have a crush at their age. You remember having a crush on Rin when you were younger, she was so pretty and nice, the whole village had a crush on her - but that eventually fizzled out in favor a more sibling like bond with each other. The real feelings of love didn’t even begin to scratch the surface until you were 14.
It’s embarrassing to think about now; but you had convinced yourself that you were in love with Kakashi, maybe you were in love with him. He was always so calm and collected, and you remember feeling your heart drop to your stomach the first time he took his mask down in front of you - he was beautiful too. You were probably 16 at the time of your confession. He handled it like he handled anything to do with romance - with stuttering words and a red face.
He had let you down gently, saying that the feeling you think you perceive for him is mixed up with the feeling of familiarity you two have with each other - the bond you two formed after having lost everyone else; Rin, Obito, Minteo. Looking back you’re still not sure if that was the case, the way you had felt about Kakashi never matched the way you had felt about anyone else, but it was pointless trying to explain that to him - he made his feeling about you clear. You are family, nothing else.
Even though it was pointless, you still nurtured that flame you had for Kakashi when you were teenagers. As the years dragged on, it got continuously smaller and smaller, but never went out. A part of you was always going to have that feeling of love towards him, even though he would never love you back in the same way.
You had never talked about your confession. After your rejection you simply pretended that it never happened, and Kakashi never brought it up which you were infinitely grateful for. You lazily look over as Naruto jumps up on the tree brach with you, he is strangely quite as he takes a seat next to you.
“Y/N sensei?” You hum, still looking at the boy who looked like he is on the verge of a break down - poor kid. “How do you get so many girls to like you?” Well that’s not the question you were expecting.
“Aren’t you like 10?” You questioned, earning a disgusted scoff from Naruto.
“I AM 12!” Naruto yelled, suddenly all that pity you felt for him was gone. “SOME ADULT YOU ARE, NOT EVEN KNOWING THE AGE OF THE GENIN IN YOUR CARE! HOW OLD ARE YOU? 40?” You kind of wanted to push him off the tree now.
“Listen kid, all I’m saying is that you have plenty of years to worry about relationships. Maybe right now you should worry about the chakra techniques that you and your teammate are butchering.” You retorted, thumping the ankle biter in the middle of his forehead. Naruto tripped back holding his right hand to his head as he looked at you in anger. “Ask Kakashi how to get a girl, would ya?”
“Kakashi sensei is too busy with his head buried in that pervy book to even notice at a real life girl.” He huffed, it was fair - Kakashi has taken a unhealthy liking to romance novels. Wink wink. “But you, seem to have a good looking lady on your arm every time I see you.” Not true. Kind of true. You just so happened to be born with your father’s charm, which is very helpful when trying to find information out from an enemy, you’ve discovered. You just happen to use that gift for flirting also. Flattery gets you everywhere. Everyone likes attention and you just so happen to like giving attention - beside everyone knows you’re not the kind of guy to sleep with just anyone- it’s harmless. You really didn’t want to give that dating advice to a 12 year old kid though. Luckily, you felt another gentle dip in the tree branch you were sitting on - Kakashi.
“Well,” you stood up to stretch, “that’s my que.” you ruffled Naruto’s hair just for giggles, watching him try to shake your hand off his head. “It’s been a pleasure.” you turn your back to the both of them despite Naruto’s protests that your conversation is not over yet.
“Y/N” came Kakashi’s voice, you turned back to him. He spoke softly, uncharacteristic to his usually gruff voice he wore when he was around the kids. He was holding out something for you, a bento wrapped nice and neatly in a navy blue cloth. You hesitated, putting your hand out for it - did he make this? Kakashi hasn’t made you food for a very long time, not since he got his team at least. Which you have to admit, sucked because Kakashi was a great cook and you could barley make rice without the pot boiling over. You had been going out to eat a lot lately. Naruto’s was quietly watching the exchange between you two. “I had extras, and you complained yesterday that Ichiraku was going to be closed today.”
“Thank you, Kakashi.” You responded, taking the food from him, your finger brushed against each other. The bento was heavy, clearly packed to the brim. “I can always count on you for my heath.” You joked, oblivious to the heat brewing under the man’s mask. “I should go now, I have a long mission tomorrow I still need to prepare for.” On that note you disappeared, leaving Kakashi and Naruto alone on the branch.
Naruto stared at Kakashi sensei, a smug little grin slowly forming on his face. He was a perceptive kid when he wanted to be. Just as he was about to open his mouth for a smart remark, Kakashi pushed him off the tree.

Hello 🖤 I love seeing your blog pop up in my feed, simply exquisite 🖤
I have a request. What would older Terry Silver do with an adult student who is rather boisterous in class, she listens but only when she wants, she's a smarty pants. Terry so wishes to teach her a lesson after many months of class passing, learning her mannerisms, learning HER. Ever the voyeur, finding her home, seeing what lies within when she's not home, Terry plans a little 'private lesson,' specifically for her at his home dojo. Ending with his gi sloppy on him, his hair a mess like the slut he is with his student underneath him with no mercy being shown. His student definitely listens to HIS wants and desires, eager to please.
Breaking Stone.
(Terry Silver x Reader)
---
-"How safe is this, Sensei? I mean, it’s solid rock."-
Your voice speaks up from the gathered crowd and Terry Silver, he knew you’d have something to say without having to turn his back towards the mass of students keenly eyeing his demonstration in silence, standing jam packed in a circle around the erected board with a concrete block fastened to the center of the scaffolding propped up on iron legs, following his every word like a mantra only for him predict that your mouth will eventually move to utter something and dare interrupt him. Class fifty eight. A lesson on Brick Breaking. Tools necessary; pretty straightforward. A slab of rock and a fist. Additional spices; your usual commentary in the midst of it all. Happened almost daily. Happened to the degree it was a constant he could count on. -"We’ll break our hands on that."- You add with a sense of urgency and worry once the entirety of the exercise’s participants turn their eyes towards you, scrutinizing, weighing and accessing what you just blurted out and you tended to blurt out stuff frequently. Terry joins them in their quiet staring, finding a twitch of satisfaction stir through him once he realized you were jittery and stuttering, made self aware through the fact you were the sudden center of attention. Needing to justify yourself for placing the spotlight unto yourself, you blurt out some more bullshit. Nerves, was it? You deserved that. Deserved much worse for stepping out of line. -"What do we do in case we tear our ligaments punching the board?"- You ask, scratching the back of your head. Ligaments? Were you frightened of getting a boo-boo? At that point, Terry allows himself to turn his entire body towards you, taking his time, slowly --- painfully slowly --- looking straight ahead, towards you. You shift, from one bare foot on the mat to the other, like the stillness of everything around you gave you a sense of discomfort.
Stew in it. He hoped you'd stew in it.
-"Seems a bit extreme. Sorry."-
You chuckle, apologizing, looking down. Then back up.
Terry has to chuckle with you, neatly folding his hands in front of him.
A bit extreme? It was meant to be extreme.
-"Our student here thinks our methods are strange, but these classes aren’t mandatory."-
He simply shrugs matter-of-factly, addressing the people around him, all eyes leave you and pinning themselves in his direction instead, encircling him like a tightly closed ring, listening attentively, leaving you even more isolated in your folly. The great mother hen and the ducklings. The one, solitary ugly black duck that talked too much. -"Nobody’s here by force."- He explains, and contrary to popular belief, everyone here gave their signature of consent on a written contract. Terms. Conditions. Price rates. Health insurances. They showed up to daily classes because they wanted to, giving their hard earned money out of their own volition. He didn't go kidnapping people off of the streets of LA and harassing them into black Gi, in spite of what the likes of Larusso tried to accuse him of, same way not even Larusso himself was harassed into this, decades ago. -"Or are you all here by force?"- Terry purses his lips, looking around, enjoying this far too much to stop. In unison, they all speak up, one voice, stemming from one collective lung. -"No, Sensei!"- The dojo resonates with their shout. He tries again, spreading his arms, envisioning himself like Pontius Pilate about to wash his hands clean of you and let the crowds make their decisions. -"Why are you here for then?"- He inquires, raising his voice, encouraging them. Spurring them on. -"To learn, Sensei!"- Obeying, they repeat the motion, letting out a united cry and content, Terry squeezes his fingers into a fist once they all fall silent, all but an echo remaining, his other free hand caressing the concrete block in front of him, never taking his eyes off of you. At this point, with a mouth standing agape, forgetting you should've joined everyone in their jubilant war cry, you were as pale as a ghost. Not quite so chatty or smart anymore.
Perfect.
-"The lesson is —"- He begins. -"A true artist of the craft spends years, even decades just hitting things. Sand. Wood. Stone. Metal. Flesh."-
Terry coos, confessing, that he did, on occasion, imagine hitting you.
The sweetest thing he'd ever strike. Purely to shut you up, get you the way you were right now; As quiet as the dead; all gulps and anxious little eyes darting left and right. Preferably having you bent over his knee like an unruly child and taking the bamboo stick to you bare buttocks until they were rendered crimson red with punishment. After it was all done, he'd have you thanking him for the honor too. He smiles, just at the notion; an expression he doesn't bother hiding.
-"Having been broken so many times, it makes their bones so dense that when it comes in contact with solid rock, the rock breaks first."-
Terry digs his teeth into his lower lip, taking his stance and lunging forward suddenly, knuckles breaking through the barrier of the rock and crumbling, his fingers pushing through the crack he made on the other side. It was as simple as that. -"Asaa!"- He bellows and if the dojo was collectively holding it's breath, once he's done, the remains of sharp jagged tiny pebbles spilling on the mat under around his feet like so many rolling marbles, he senses an equally collective exhale. He can swear you weren't blinking at that point. What were you shocked by? The fact that he just smashed through a brick that weighed ten pounds like it was nothing or the implication he's broken his hand by choice so many times that he could pull shit like this in the first place? Maybe it wasn't smart to backtalk or question the methods of a person who could crush your windpipes in with merely just his thumbs. -"So, you see — breaking our fists, it’s part of the curriculum."- He shakes his head, staring you down, taking a couple of steps forward, until it was undeniable he was addressing you in particular; his infuriatingly Doubting Thomas, ignoring the students that wordlessly volunteered to clean up, scooting down to pick up the unfortunate remains of the rock slab, chirping away at the remains like a handful of chicks. -"This is part of what you signed up for when you came to this dojo. When you came to Cobra Kai."- He assesses firmly. -"You came to break with the old so the new and the improved could take its place."- He adds. Eventually, you'd have to bruise and break in those pretty little hands much like everyone else would and if you didn't have the guts to do that, you'd advance nowhere and your here would become fairly obsolete. Someone might as well tell you that upfront.
Even though, he confessed. The idea of a piece of rock breaking your hands?
Something shoots through him, like a radioactive phantasm of jealousy.
He wanted to do the breaking instead.
Not leave it up to an inanimate piece of training gear.
-"And if you can't imagine yourself doing that, you can always take up a knitting class."-
He adds, finally, earning himself a couple of amused chuckles.
Blood rushes into your cheeks.
Were you angry? Ashamed? Humiliated? Good.
—
Looking through your files was child's game after that.
He pretty much had everything he needed to know about you, printed in black and white in his own two hands, on the very exact form you filled the day you signed up for adulted classes six months ago; your home address, bank statement, contact number, email, age, place of employment, blood type in case an accident took place mid-training and a transfusion was needed on short notice. And yes, he's broken into your home before. Terry did it the first time you ever ran your mouth to backtalk him, asking if doing fifty consecutive push ups as warm was a smart decision because it was bound to leave everyone too exhausted to hold proper form and too distracted with tiredness to properly follow the class. He checked every drawer, every shelf, every nook, every cranny, supposing he wanted to find something he could spit on in indignation and discovering nothing more fitting but what he could only deduce was your framed graduation photograph, pursuing his lips and letting the saliva build up right before he hurled the spittle out of his mouth and right unto the glass inside of the frame, watching it trickle down your face, smearing it with his finger in retaliation, deciding the gesture was fitting punishment. If only he had a chance to do it with your actual face next. Spit in your mouth too, for refusing to shut up as it did. Spit in your mouth for missing three of your classes this week, like that was a thing you were allowed to do when you weren't. Did he tear into you verbally too hard last time? Was that it? Undoubtedly, but that still didn't give you permission to leave. He wanted you to come back so he could harass you some more, like you deserved to be harassed.
He knocks on your door, freshly having concluded this week's teaching.
Still in his Gi, jacket slung over his shoulders.
He did that on purpose, to make it seem like him coming here wasn't premeditated or something he tactically prepared for in advance, but rather, like a last minute decision he made in the utmost rush to the degree he didn't even have time to change out of his training attire, forgetful, overworked old man that he is. -"Who’s there!?"- Your concerned, slightly confused voice calls from the other end and he hears the keyhole clicking, only for your uncertain face to show up in the precipice of the doorframe illuminated by the warm light of your apartment's foyer looming like a halo behind you, brows practically jumping once you recognized him, appearing relieved. -"Sensei Silver!?"- You state in surprise, opening the door entirely, letting him step over the threshold, moving out of the way to usher him inside from the corridor. He tries not to seem too familiar with the territory, pretending not to know exactly where to stand; next to the shoe rack or the coat hanger. -"God. I’m so sorry. Got scared halfway to death!"- You place your hand over your chest, exhaling and smiling. Way too fidgety for someone who took Tang Soo Do classes. What were you afraid of? Of someone barging in and subduing you? -"What do I owe the honor of the visit! I didn’t expect anyone."- You shake your head, all charm. Of course he prepared an excuse for him being here and it comes in a form of a sleek pamphlet he produces from inside of his jacket, handing it to you. He had it printed, in bulk and giving out to everyone at the dojo solely so he could have a reason to give you one to you as well. -"The curriculum. For our future classes. I thought you might wanna look through it. Freshly printed."- Terry explains. He hoped you would've continued showing up, smart mouth you always were, but there you went, disappearing. If Muhammad wouldn't come to the mountain, the mountain would have to come to Muhammad.
-"You missed the last session so I brought it over personally. Where'd you go?"-
Terry feigns concern. He knew where you went. You were pegged down a notch.
Proceeded retreating with your tail behind your legs.
That's what you get for questioning him.
But, he didn't expect you to retreat quite so definitely.
Who'd you ask if you can do that? Did you ask anyone? Him?
You eyelashes flutter, like you were about to come up with an excuse.
-"I think you're right, Sensei. I mean, the whole Cobra Kai dojo scene, ---"-
You begin, looking away from him, vehemently staring at the pattern on the corridor carpet, holding the flyer with a sense of unease, like you weren't certain what to do with it. If you crumpled it up, he'd make you eat it. -"It ain't for me. I'm not cut out for it."- You confess, finally meeting his gaze, appearing a bit shy at the notion. He knew a tangent was incoming. Decides to let you have it. And knowing you, you wouldn't shut up any time soon in the next five minutes. -"I can't do any of those things you demonstrated last week. Break my bones on purpose? Smash through rocks? Ignore pain? I know when I'm out of my depth and there's no shame in admitting something ain't for me and gracefully moving on. What you said the last time --- you helped me see that. You really did."- You utter, in one solitary breath, and it takes everything within Terry not to laugh at you. So, humiliating in front of the whole class for interrupting him for the umpteenth time with some inane observation, you thought it was for your own good and that it made you see things more clearly? What? Was that why you left his dojo like it was a bus station? Did you really take up knitting as a hobby in the meantime as well? -"I had a great time studying these past few months under you, but I just can't continue."- You visibly gulp once he says nothing and you feel incentivized to further explain. You never had a problem with that before. Go ahead. He was giving you center stage to speak. So speak. -"I talk back. I interrupt. I question. I worry. I'm so sorry. I can't just let go and do it. Do what I'm supposed to do on the mat."- You add, your eyes widening, perhaps in anxiety, pupils dilating, looking back and forth between the surrounding furniture and the wall --- anywhere but at him. Why should he let you go? When it was so fun pushing your buttons? In fact, he decides you could use some more of that.
-"Do you like me?'-
He asks, bluntly. You take a step back, stammering.
-"Excuse me, sir?"-
-"I said, do you like me?"- He repeats himself, firmer.
Your mouth wordlessly forms a shape, but no sound comes forth.
You weren't certain what to say.
Finally.
You were speechless for once. That was a welcoming novelty.
-"Because, if you like me, you won't leave me here stranded, with one student less and waltz out impulsively, on such a short notice. That's not how things work. There's a price for that."-
He winds you up, deciding to stoke a fire and then immediately extinguish it, intending to fluster you for thinking what he led you to think, watching the abject shame settle into your expression like a newly formed wrinkle just because for a mere second, you thought this was a confession of something more than it was instead of a cleverly phrased and deliberately misguiding segway intended to put you on the spot and make you feel like an idiot with no listening comprehension. -"I'll pay everything I still own and ---"- You practically stumble over your words, clutching the pamphlet to your chest vigorously, like a shield, referencing unpaid lesson, trying to regain what little balance you had, visibly sweating bullets. Stoke the fire. Extinguish the fire. Stoke the fire. Extinguish the fire. Terry steps forward, shutting you up. Commanding you to stay silent. -"Don't talk."- He orders, flatly, putting up his hand alongside his finger as a warning and then coming closer still, until the tip of it is practically pushing against your mouth. You appeared flaggerbasted. Like you weren't sure what was going on, too shocked to actually move. This was why confusing people into a state of paralytic awkwardness was paramount in verbal warfare. He pushed his index finger between your lips and you still didn't move, letting him get away with it, too stunned for words. -"For once, listen. Don't speak."- He murmurs, staring at your mouth, pushing his nail inside, feeling your wetness and finding your tongue, frozen stiff, clasping it with his thumb and index finger and holding it, pulling on it, until you groaned, trying to mutely gibber and failing. -"This is the thing that always talked back. Can't talk back anymore, can it?"- He taunts and you shake your head with an expression that would place deer in headlights to shame, shivering vigorously.
You've seen what his hands could do. What his fists could do.
He could rip your tongue out of your skull and it would pose little issue.
He felt you knew that right about now.
Practically dangled by the tip of your mouth's organ. Your head slumping back.
Unable to release yourself, you slowly lower yourself, to your knees.
-"That's good."- Terry coos, pleased, watching you drool all over his hand.
-"Open that pretty little mouth of yours and use it for something really valuable for a change."-
He purrs, even as his fingers go fidgeting, lower his Gi's trousers, loosening the obi around his waist, pulling his cock out of his briefs, showcasing it to you so the state of the situation would settle in. He'd hatefuck your mouth. He was already hard. Already dripping precum. Almost like the very act of coming here and pestering you served to do it for him as he, without much deliberation, pushed himself inside of your lips, taking in the sloppy, receptive moisture, enjoying the symbolism of the flyer he's given you falling next to you on the floorboard until you were practically kneeling atop of it. -"Perfect."- He hums, praising. -"You've been badgering and badgering and I can't tell you how many times I thought about interrupting class and just giving it to you, in front of everyone, right there, in the middle of the dojo. Let them all see what happens when someone questions Terry Silver and his methods."- Now it was his turn to make some confessions, fingers tangling into your hair, coiling into a fist, making you look at him with your watering, teary eyes. He amps up his pace, bobbing your head back and forth for you, using your tresses as reins. Look how you've infected him. Now he was the one rambling and loving it. -"But, I wanted the occasion to be something special. Someplace I could really savor it --- and what better place than right under your very own roof."- He closes his eyes, smiling, enjoying the sensation of tense pleasure building up in his gut, right before looking down at you with your brows furrowed. You were just now realizing this was premeditated. Poor you. -"Oh, don't look at me like that. Don't think I haven't been in here before. Been here a thousand times."- He chuckles into his own chin, moaning. Of course he's desecrated something miniscule every time you talked back as an elaborate form of revenge and violation, like wiping his cock on the curtain after masturbating on your bed. Nothing was for free. Disrespect certainly wasn't.
-"And you'll be seeing a lot more of me just yet. Don't think this is over. Don't think you can disassociating with Cobra Kai and me on a whim. You can't."-
He flat out threatens, his hips rutting vigorously against your head.
You thought this was a game?
You sign up to his dojo for like six months and call it quits when things get hard?
Cobra Kai was a brotherhood. A society. Not an extracurricular pastime or a hobby.
That's what people weren't getting. He didn't want them to just yet.
But you? He'd was breaking the news to you hard and fast in the flesh.
-"You belonged to me from the moment you met me and put on the Gi and you'll belong to me until your dying breath."-
He grits his teeth, shaking, seething, feeling his tresses slide out of his ponytail and unto his forehead in an unruly mess, satisfaction coiling in his groin imaging you returning to the dojo on Monday, dressed in your uniform, all neat and proper, your attitude curbed and kept only for special occasions, releasing suddenly, just at the thought that he owned you, hearing you gurgle from the floor, droplets of his cum trickling down your chin and leaking unto the Cobra Kai pamphlet on the parquet in front of you. No, no. That wouldn't do. Not a single ounce wasted. -"Swallow."- Terry orders, catching his breath, scrutinizing you as you did so, still holding your hair, yanking forward suddenly, his cock falling out of your mouth, giving you leeway to breathe again and you do, gasping with sharp inhales of breath, a bubble of saliva popping between your lips as you rolled back to sob and cough. Pathetic. Eager to serve. So you were capable of shutting the fuck up, letting go and getting lost in an action after all? You were teachable. He knew you would be. Much like the rock slab on the training dummy, though, you needed to be broken in first. Terry slides his hand across the top of his head, slicking loose hair strands back, lifting up his finger to threaten and warn once again. Remind, in case you've forgotten. Had your brains scrambled in all sorts of awkward and unlikely directions. -"So, you better not miss out on any of my classes ever again or I'll have a reason to hold a very, very big grudge. Especially if you don't show up and break that stone like I've taught everyone to do. Understood?"-
-"Yes, Sensei."- You manage desperately, drooling, nodding your head.

Cob's First Pool Trip, A Bird, and Meeting Sam Part 4
Cob is in love at first sight, Sam realizes her brother isn't crazy.
Content: Adult themes and language, verbal trans abuse and the proper response, fear, near death, danger, terror, panic attacks, and first meetings.
***
Sam reached over and dipped her fingers in the pool while taking another sip of her beer.
She was waiting for Ben to explain but he just shivered vigorously.
Sam felt the temperature thinking It wasn't even that cold maybe like in the 40s...mentally comparing it to her frequent ice plunges after heavy workouts.
"Ding Dong, you know we have to take you over to get a new cast?" Sam asked while she stood up to get Ben's discarded crutches.
She brought them over to him, and tried to help him up. But then he half fell, half sat back down and Sam rolled her eyes.
“Alright fine, do it yourself.” Sam huffed sarcastically sitting on her knees.
He could use the exercise anyway, she thought thinking of how heavy he felt when she helped him get out of the pool.
Meanwhile Hazel rushed over to Cob who was doubled over in a ball. Their tears and sobs blended into the splash of freezing pool water. They were soaked and shivering hard.
They felt like they were going to die.
"Check on them!" Ben said through chattering teeth at Sam.
Ben looked past his sister to point with a tilt of his head towards Hazel and Cob on the ground by his bag, "Are they ok?!" he stuttered out.
Sam looked at Ben with a furrowed brow like he was talking to someone behind her. She immediately thought he was nuts.
She didn't see any other people out at the pool. It was January. They were alone.
There was concern in her voice as she asked him, "Babe who are you talking about, it’s just you and me and wherever that bird went…”
Then Sam heard something faint.
"NO! THEY'RE FREEZING!!!" Hazel shouted frantically answering Ben.
Ben heard Hazel’s worry but wasn't sure what to do, he was soaked through too.
But Sam also heard her.
Did I just hear a British accent? she thought, and slowly turned around to look where the sound was coming from.
Sam's head tilted down to the ground and could see two tiny human looking figures huddled together. But she also saw they had tails like mice.
"Oh my fuck...They're real..." Sam whispered as Ben finally dragged himself up and crutched past her.
Dropping back down next to them, keeping his distance as he was dripping cold water everywhere he could only watch them. Sam was staring and thought to check the alcohol percentage of the beer she was drinking.
"We have to get them warm!" Hazel said snapping into nurse mode and wrapping Ben's sock around from around her shoulders over Cob.
She start rubbing their arms as fast and hard as she could, moving next to the legs then back again.
Sam blinked, listening and processing what was happening before she snapped out of it.
Sam walked over and dropped to her knees beside Ben. They both towered over the smaller people with tails. She snapped out of her surprise into action.
She lifted off the hooded sweatshirt she was wearing, it was one of Ben's, and bundled it up into a makeshift basket shape.
She was just wearing a sports bra underneath that was having a hard time containing all of her. Ben watched but instead of that, he noticed that his sister was wearing his sweatshirt. "Is that mine..." He chattered asking before Sam shushed him. Sam looked down, her face set and determined. Hazel looked desperate. "Hazel right?" Sam asked the tiny worried figure hovering over Cob.
Sam remembered the story Ben had told her about the glue trap. The name stuck out despite the terrible hangover she had at the time.
Hazel nodded up adding, "Yes. You must be Ben's sister."
Sam stole a quick glance at her brother before continuing, she'd figure this out later.
"Yea I’m Sam. Babe listen, that water is really cold but Ding Dong here is plenty big he'll be fine for a bit like that. You two aren't. I'm going to pick him up and put him in this so we can get up to Ben's place and figure out a better way to heat him up."
Hazel nodded before adding, "Them not him."
Sam looked confused for a second before it clicked. "Sorry. Them."
Sam would figure out little tiny people with tail's preferred pronouns later.
Cob listened to all of this in shivering silence stuck in place. They were so cold, but then they felt large finger tips pressing gently around their body in a grip.
Cob worried that the bird was back for a moment, but the fingers were too big and too soft to belong to a bird. Then Cob felt themselves get lifted up and gently placed in soft sweatshirt, still warm from Sam's body heat.
Cob looked up and, in a cold confusion, thought it was Ben.
Cob saw a big bushy ponytail sticking out from the top of the figures' head. It was the same color hair as Ben, but Ben's hair was very short. The cold must have been playing tricks on them.
Cob noticed a very ample pair of breasts above their head next. It was covered in what looked like too little fabric against a broad sea of dark colored skin.
Ben was way hotter than Cob first realized. But then Cob looked over and saw the bigger form of Ben. He was soaking wet and shivering himself.
Oh god there's two of them?! Cob thought in shocked realization.
The makeshift sweatshirt nest started to dull the sharp edge of their freezing and they snuggled in deeper. Cob felt their heart thumping for a different reason than survival as they watched the new Ben looking down over them.
Meanwhile, Hazel's eyes were trying to avoid looking at Sam's suddenly more revealed body. Worrying over Cob helped. "Shh shh it's ok babe. You'll be ok. What's your name little one?" Sam asked noticing the tail wrapped close to the shivering body.
So cute!...Sam thought to herself. "C-C-Cob...You're...so....h-h-hot," the tiny borrower stuttered from cold looking up to their enormous rescuer.
Hazel climbed into the sweatshirt next to Cob and hugged them tightly. She didn't have it in her to correct them. They were right anyway, Sam was hot.
Sam cackled while gathering up the sweatshirt in her hands. She stood up holding it, carefully keeping the buttom supported. The two small people were so light it felt like nothing was in the sweatshirt.
"You're pretty cute too babe!" She smiled.
Cob suddenly felt a lot warmer.
"Let's get these popsicles upstairs and defrosted." Sam said to Hazel who nodded thankfully.
"Come on Ding Dong, you too. Then I'll drive you over to get your cast redone." Sam called out to Ben as she took the borrowers back up to Ben's condo. "No...no..." Ben stuttered, hobbling after them, pre-emptively refusing to get in a car.
He thought about having to call the building manager again over the pool heater...
*** End Part 4 I have so much fun with Cob and Sam I hope you enjoy them too!

Marvel; My stuttering boy/girlfriend
Peter B.
From the get-go he did not give a fuck.
Will casually berate anyone is impatient with you taking time to say what you need to say. "Yeah, interrupting them will make this go faster."
Tips the waiters if they're nice like ten to twenty bucks. Which in turn makes the waiters excited when he comes even though they don't know why he gave them that tip.
He never talks about for you unless you give him the signal to. He knows you are a grown adult who is fully capable of handling yourself and asking for help.
Wade Wilson
He's just as crude to you as he is to others. Which in any other setting would be off putting but he does it to everyone, including and especially, so it somehow makes you feel included.
He never stops talking so you almost never feel like you have to talk to him with verbal words, its like he understands your face and knows what you're saying.
But if you want to talk he will do a pantomime of zipping his mouth shut and he doesn't talk until you zip it open, you can zip it closed too.
There have been multiple times he threatened someone who slighted you, often waving around a weapon.
Eddie Brock
As a man who can not stop himself from looking into things he found ways to 'treat' it. After accidentally offending you he explains he just want to try the face exercises and stuff, never trying to imply he wanted to 'fix' you.
He'll do the exercises with you and have fun with it because it does admittedly look silly. But after a while he notices he speaks easier and attributes that to you.
Your stutter doesn't stop him from playing twenty questions. He want to know what you like and want so he'll as specifis questions so you can give yes or no. And if you want to fully explain he'll hunker down with food to listen.
Tony Stark
He'll make passive jokes. Nothing out of line but as always, less than tactful.
If he's doing business with you he'll wait. He's a busy man but he'll settle for good work in exchange of time. He'll always give you his time.
He has offered you a handful of things that could work for you. He'll never sorce things on you but he will bring the idea of a voice coach multiple times. Whether or not you take anything is up to you.
Has gotten a handful of people fired for the mistake of yelling at you to 'Just get it out'.

This expansion reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.64% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2032.

Speech therapy involves the assessment and treatment of speech, language, voice, and communication disorders. It plays a crucial role in improving communication skills and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with speech impairments. The market's growth is largely fueled by the increasing prevalence of speech-related disorders, such as stuttering, autism spectrum disorders, dysarthria, and aphasia, among both children and adults.
Advancements in technology have also led to the development of innovative speech therapy solutions, including mobile apps, teletherapy platforms, and speech-generating devices.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

The therapist works with the patient to practice specific sounds, often breaking down words into syllables or sounds and practicing them repeatedly. For instance, if a child struggles with the "r" sound, the therapist will guide them through exercises that involve producing the sound in isolation and then in words and sentences. This technique is especially popular among speech therapists in Jaipur, who deal with a high number of pediatric cases involving articulation disorders.
2. Language Intervention Activities
Language intervention activities are designed to improve both expressive and receptive language skills. These activities often include games, role-playing, and other interactive methods that make learning fun and engaging. The therapist might use pictures, books, or objects to stimulate conversation and encourage the use of new words and phrases. For a Speech Therapist in Jaipur, language intervention is crucial, especially when working with children who have developmental delays or adults recovering from brain injuries.
3. Voice Therapy
Voice therapy is aimed at individuals who have issues with their voice, such as hoarseness, pitch problems, or vocal fatigue. This type of therapy involves exercises that strengthen the vocal cords, improve breath control, and modify vocal behaviors. For example, a person with a soft voice may learn to project their voice more effectively, while someone with vocal nodules might work on reducing strain. In Jaipur, voice therapy is increasingly sought after by professionals who rely heavily on their voice, such as teachers, singers, and public speakers.
4. Fluency Therapy
Fluency therapy, often associated with stuttering, helps individuals speak more smoothly and with less effort. Techniques used in fluency therapy include slow speech practice, breathing exercises, and learning to manage anxiety related to speaking. For many people in Jaipur who struggle with stuttering, fluency therapy provides a pathway to more confident and fluid speech.
5. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
For individuals who cannot speak or have severe communication challenges, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices can be life-changing. These devices range from simple picture boards to sophisticated speech-generating devices that allow individuals to express themselves. Speech therapists in Jaipur often recommend AAC devices for patients with conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, or severe apraxia of speech. The use of AAC is a critical component of speech therapy, enabling those with limited verbal ability to communicate effectively.
6. Cognitive-Communication Therapy
Cognitive-communication therapy is used for individuals who have experienced brain injuries or strokes, leading to issues with memory, problem-solving, or attention. This therapy focuses on improving these cognitive functions to enhance communication. Exercises might include memory games, problem-solving tasks, and activities that improve concentration. In Jaipur, cognitive-communication therapy is commonly used for elderly patients and those recovering from neurological events.
The Role of Hearing Aids in Speech Therapy
While speech therapy techniques are crucial for improving communication, hearing aids play an equally important role, especially for individuals with hearing impairments. The availability of the Top hearing aids in Jaipur has made it easier for patients to access high-quality devices that significantly improve their hearing ability, which in turn enhances their speech outcomes. These devices help patients hear speech sounds more clearly, making therapy sessions more effective and improving overall communication.
Conclusion
Speech therapy is a dynamic and diverse field, with a range of techniques tailored to meet individual needs. Whether it's articulation therapy for children or cognitive-communication therapy for stroke patients, the work of a Speech Therapist in Jaipur is invaluable in helping people improve their communication skills. Additionally, the availability of top hearing aids in Jaipur ensures that individuals with hearing impairments can fully benefit from these therapies, leading to better communication and an improved quality of life.
If you're in Jaipur and seeking the best care for speech or hearing issues, a qualified speech therapist and the right hearing aid can make all the difference in your journey to better communication.
