masterlist

seungcheol -

he's literally obsessed with you. one look from you and he's on his knees ready to follow any command. sometimes his eyes would wander too much, so he'd have to get used to keeping them in pg places.

jeonghan -

he's so fidgety and loves grabbing at things, i'm 100% sure his hands would constantly be reaching to your hips, ass and tits (depending on whether you were in public or not), squishing them and just running his hand up and down the skin.

joshua -

instant attraction and instant chemistry between the two of you. to be fair, he could have chemistry with anyone, but he'd be extra charming with someone he liked. would be very vocal about his attraction to you and your body, always appreciating you both verbally and physically.

jun -

sees you and treats you as a queen. obsessed with buying you cute little outfits bc they just look so good with your body type every single time. you cause him headaches from how good you look for him. kinda reminiscent of how awkward his character in his drama was when he started liking the female lead lmao.

soonyoung -

i feel like he has a case of wandering eyes accompanied by an empty brain any time he sees something pretty. that something being you; his girlfriend. doesnt know where to put his hands most of the time but goes crazy on you behind closed doors.

wonwoo -

he's shy about it, but his eyes are always automatically drawn to you. he just finds you so pretty snd fascinating, he can't help himself. it gets so bad to the point where his members have to call him out on it, or even kick you out when you come whilst they're busy, knowing he'll be too distracted to do anything.

jihoon -

as a fellow big-ass haver, he'd now understand why carats always went crazy over his ass. except he still would feel caught off guard any time he caught a glimpse at your body. how was he supposed to react? should he hold back and become a pathetic shell of himself? or should he let his want for you take over? the eternal battle.

seokmin -

overcome with giddiness every time he remembers you're all his. sometimes he just stares and ponders how he got to have you all to himself. shy as shit when it comes to touching any curvy part of you though lol. it could be years and he'd still be shy in grabbing at your ass or hips while in public. he just needs to stay respectful at all times!!

mingyu -

lets out a grutal groan every time he sees you naked. every. single. time. he's just so insanely obsessed with your body (and luckily, you are obsessed with his too!), he can't help but verbally express his addiction to you. shameless in how often he's caught staring at you, clothed or not.

minghao -

appreciates beauty when he sees it, and since you're his girl, he's fortunate enough to see it all the time. insanely vocal about how into you he is, buttering up both your person and your appearance with the prettiest words.

seungkwan -

as a fellow curvy girly, he'd now understand why his members were so obsessed with his ass. being able to grab at yours so freely would give him an 'ah!' moment in realization as to why carats were also so obsessed with his own ass. he'd not only fall victim to an addiction to your ass but also your tits.

vernon -

doesnt verbally express it, but he feels like he's on top of the world having you as his s/o. super verbal to you about how pretty he finds finds you, always complimenting you and everything about you. his hands would also always be on your hips while in public (making their way to your ass and tits when in private).

chan -

has no idea how to handle a bad bitch. his hands would be so shy at the beginning of the relationship, itching to grab at your curves but not wanting to be disrespectful. the moment you gave him the greenlight, he'd go crazy and constantly be grabbing at you shamelessly.

ce characters when you've been going to bed too late (oh no now you're sleep deprived and have constant headaches)

it's me, i'm sleep deprived and have constant headaches.

steve: you won't sleep early? you scroll the interwebs even when he tells you in a very nice manner that it's lights out and time to snuggle? phone jail. you're not getting it back until the morning. "but what if there's an emergency?" well FRIDAY will have to notify you because that darn phone is going in the other room, yes he's being an old man about this but he's also squashing you like a fine weighted blanket so. there.

andy: bless his heart, he's also sleep deprived. and yet his stinky ass has the audacity to stand there with his arms folded, lecturing you on early bedtimes like you BOTH don't have splitting cluster headaches and an inability to focus. shame. go on, you're going to have to shame one another into showering and brushing teeth and getting into bed- no more emails, leave it- and finally, finally, turning the darn light off.

curtis: does this man sleep? by god he does. he has an illegally early start every morning so he goes to bed at 10:30 on the dot like an old man. that means he doesn't know that you stay up until 1, puttering about and doing whatever, tired but somehow disconnected from the ability to lay down and stop thinking. and this goes on for how long?? until he sees you frozen in the middle of the day, exhausted brain trying to catch you up on what you needed from the living room. then it's forced curfew. he points to the bed? you lay down. he's two hundred pounds, he'll make sure you stay there.

ari: another deep sleeper. you could watch a whole vlog next to him and the big lump just goes on snoring in his skivvies like an ol' bear. it's the hubris that gets you caught. a too bright scene makes you turn away and blink rapidly until the spots fade away... and you see ari staring at you, eyebrow raised, unhappy scowl underneath all that beard. ha. haha. oops. evening phone time is suspended indefinitely. it's going on the nightstand on his side and you're going under his arm, nose to pit, until you get a good night's rest.

jake: oh sweet fellow anxiety-haver, gamer, busy to-doer. of all these baes, he's the one who understands staying up for an hour longer, maybe two, just gotta finish this XML sheet or get to the next save point. but he's also an army man through and through. wakes up at 0600 hours (ew), goes for a quick run, jumps in the shower, makes breakfast all before you wake up. and you wake up slower and slower these days :(( so it's his new personal mission to stop at 11pm and scoop you up from whatever you're doing for bed time.

ransom: yes he gets up and writes in the middle of the night, sue him. it's called ✨inspiration✨ which is totally normal for a writer, it's better than writer's block and- hey! what are you doing up?? you're losing beauty sleep and he's slipping melatonin into your mouth, tucking you against his side, and rubbing slow lovely circles on your temples. you're no good to him like this, he scoffs, the house would probably get burnt down and you wouldn't notice. but he keeps tracing your eyebrows juuuuust right so you let that pass. for now.

get enough sleep, kids. head ouch.

PSA about over-the-counter pain relieving medications

hello, fellow cripples, headache havers, GI problem and chronic pain enjoyers, i wanted to give a quick PSA on over the counter pain relievers and what they can potentially do if your doctor doesn't explain how these medications interact or what they can potentially do to your body. i wanted to say that it's not your fault for not knowing these things, doctors do not tell their patients these things. we find out until it's too late.

i was prescribed Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Flanax) for degenerative disc disease & sciatic nerve pinching from spine damage and pain. my doctor failed to inform me that Naproxen, or any other non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) like Ibuprofen or Aspirin, should NEVER be taken on an empty stomach. i have heard from other cripple friends who have been told by their doctors that these medications can "cause stomach pain" if you take them on an empty stomach.

i need you to understand this is diminishing language- i ended up in the hospital with a stomach ulcer because of my doctor failed to inform me of this. when i got to the ER the nurse who was helping me shook her head when we finally figured out that the Naproxen was causing it. she got very upset and said "i wish doctors would warn their patients about this. we see so many other people than just you in here from the exact same medication and problem."

this can happen to anyone, not just people who have chronic stomach issues. Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), Aspirin, and Naproxen (Aleven, Anaprox, Flanax) should never be taken on an empty stomach, after a very light snack, right before bed after not having eaten for a long time, and especially never taken together at the same time or in the same day. please do not ever take more of these medications than prescribed/advised on your bottle, and if you are combining them in the same day without direction from your doctor please do not do this. unless you have received explicit direction from a medical professional do NOT combine these medications.

please be safe with OTC painkillers. it can be very hard to understand what is safe and what is not. stay safe and do not combine medications without doing research first, it can save your life. take care of yourselves out there. you don't want a stomach ulcer, believe me. i'm still dealing with the effects 5 years later.

[liminalweirdo]

okay... i might be asking a stupid question but is there any exercises you can consistently do with a headache without wanting to die? as a chronic migraine haver, keeping a consistent exercise schedule is so hard because one migraine day inevitably totally fucks my schedule

but exercise is the only thing that helps my chronic neck/shoulder pain which is the pain that frequently contributes to my migraines

fellow headache-havers pls help me

[a-small-writer-in-a-big-world]

Fellow headache/migraine haver here! Genuine recommendation for when you get a headache is to go over a set checklist that if one of the things is missing, it can trigger a migraine :') Food, WATER(objectively the most missed thing for most people), and rest are the three major ones. Clenching your jaw can also cause nasty headaches, so try to make it a habit to relax your jaw a few times a day. Tension in neck and shoulders is also a massive one! Try to rub those parts a bit when you can, don't pinch! If you can get some massage or baby oil, you'll have an easier time with it. Hope it helps if you give any of these a go! :>

Thank you! @nvvawi I think it was because I overworked myself moving those couches but it could be because I was dehydrated and hungry idk. I’ve had migraines since I was a kid and I’ve still never really figured out what triggers them the most in me. I just hate that they start as optical migraines and then turn into the worst headaches I’ve ever had.

I took a nap earlier because I left work early and now it’s mostly gone just a little sore if that makes sense. Hoping to get some food now and then chill out for the rest of the evening. It just put a damper on things when I wanted to write but I don’t think I have in me lol

[konan-supernova]

I saw that you reblogged the post about migraines from me, and as a fellow migraine-haver I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to listen or help if you ever need it! Hope you have a nice day ☺️

Thank you, I appreciate that a lot!! 💙 Honestly, I hadn't considered before that getting regular headaches might not be such a normal thing lol

[keplercryptids]

Good luck with the migraines friend, solidarity from a fellow headache haver (hemicrania continua) it sucks when something that gave you pain-free time stops working, I hope you and your neuro work out something else that can help 💜

thank you! if all else fails, i do have a rescue med that usually works great so, y'know, i'm pretty lucky within the chronic pain community. only getting 1-2 migraines a week when botox was working was a nice reprieve for awhile.

[qwertyfingers]

By the way! If these methods really help you, it's likely that your migraines are, at least partially, cervicogenic - which means they are caused by issues with your neck. Self-directed physio is usually *really helpful* for these issues. I'd honestly recommend anyone with frequent or chronic headaches of any kind try these exercises out for a while to see if they make a difference.

I've suffered with chronic migraines for over a decade, and implementing this stretching regimen about a year back was the most impactful treatment I'd ever had up to that point. They don't take very long, and most can be completed while sitting down. Just one or two rounds of at least half of these stretches each day can have a huge effect. I was linked to this specific page by a fellow intractable daily migraine haver over at r/migraine, and I've since shared it with several others and all of us got results following it, so I hope it'll do some good :)

I am obviously not a medical professional. If any of these exercises really hurt you I would advise speaking to one if you can.

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

muses that are/i hc as the rep i want to see in the world (fellow migraine havers)

steria (and is pissed about the statistic that there are people in the world that don't have headaches period. she wants to bash them with a lamp about it. empathize with her agony <3)

gale (the kind where being horizontal/lying down worsens the pain so he tends to instead stay upright in a chair and do busywork to cope. pretends it's not that bad.)

m*rbius (man is a walking medical disaster. he's no longer actively dying, but sometimes it feels like his brain is still giving it the good college try. this is why he likes the dark damp sewer systems of new york.)

henry (canonical iirc. may be what made him so fucked up and evil to begin with. resents this paltry mortal coil that squeezes his brain like a child with putty. he pleads not guilty by reason of brain hurty.)

gabrielle (not any more, bitches! he's undead! whatever fucked him up in mortality is no more and this is his hot dilf summer era forever! he's never been more powerful!)

eric (also canonical iirc. while his coworkers might joke it comes and goes depending on if his wife is in town or not, stress is not actually a trigger for his suffering.)

l*thric (of course, his cult decides that it's some kind of divine bolt of revelation or something. he often still has to perform his duties in spite of discomfort. longs for his bed and all the curtains drawn.)

chris (has had enough head trauma across the series that his brain finally caved a little later in life. chomps down on painkillers, draws the curtains in his office, and terrifies his team.)

[spenjelly]

Fellow headache havers/haters:

I have sinus headaches all the time- it’s allergies, it’s whatever.

What is not whatever is the time I went to pet sit for my cousin.

I stopped for lunch, got a blinding headache in the middle of it, scrambled to my car, drove to a store, found out it was closed, jogged a block to a store to see if they had painkillers, they did not, jogged back to my car, tried not to fall over, realized I locked my keys and phone in the car in a distant city, felt irrational dread that I couldn’t reset in real life, went to an antique store and asked to borrow their phone, called my mom, she couldn’t find my key, called for roadside assistance, they said they’d be an hour, mom calls back and found my key, I gotta call the company again to cancel the assistance, wait 20 minutes for my mom to show up. She was so frazzled she didn’t bring pain killers, I get into my car and realize I still haven’t cared for my cousins pet yet, I go take care of the pet and successfully don’t die, I drive all the way home and still haven’t died, then I finally take meds 2 hrs later and go to sleep.

…

Anyways is that normal?

[ghostieking]

as a fellow migraine haver, these are great to put on top of your head and back of the neck when you have a heavy headache!! i enjoy grabbing my ice packs and laying down for a moment allowing the pain to go away

here is my adult advice of life happiness to you

you know these ice pack bags? get one. right now. do not hesitate. you might not need it now sure. but find a cute one. mine was 5 dollars. this will live in your home forever. you will have so many instances, where instead of trying to nurse a bruise or a sprain or a bee sting with a bag of frozen vegetables, you will think - oh my goodness! im so happy youre here! and find this wonderfully soft ice pack instead. when you are sick you will use this. in the summer you will use this. when youre hungover you will use this. if you have a little baby who scrapes their knees? you will have this kindness to offer them.

do you remember what it felt like going to the nurses office as a kid and seeing the school nurse who was actually nice to you? do you remember what it felt like to be offered gentleness when you were too teary eyed or sick to ask for it? that is what one of these feels like. not a cure for anything but something that will soothe so many things for you forever for all your life. take opportunities to be gentle with yourself even when it is small

[shaunashipman]

Hey there, I saw your tag about your migraines on that post about stomach positions and wanted to send my sympathies as a fellow migraine haver :( <3 It's a very frustrating condition to have

thank you nonny 🥺 it really is frustrating, especially people who don't understand, thinking it's just a bad headache. wishing you a very migraine free day 💚
