Bored and yearning. Here's some Arcade x transmasc headcanons

- Will gladly help you with T shots or T gel. He's always very careful about it every time he helps out

- Reminds you (if pre-op/no-op and binding) to take breaks from wearing your binder and gives you back massages if your back hurts from it

- If post-op and had just gotten top surgery, he'd do basically everything for you. Getting you food, reaching things for you, letting you rest in bed, and even helping you change your bandages. Every time he has to leave your side for something he gives you a quick kiss on the forehead

- If strictly no-op, he'd assure you he's still very attracted to you whether you get surgery or not. He'd probably even be a little envious of you for being more comfortable as yourself than he is, but it never makes him bitter. If anything he admires you

- If post-op and healed, he'd love to lay with you and trace over your scars with his hands. He finds it hot and thinks it makes you more "rugged"

- Thinks you're very awesome just for existing despite troubles you might face. You inspire him to slowly take better care of himself for you

- Constantly researching more efficient ways to medically transition, excitedly tells you about any breakthroughs he makes even if they're small

- Willing to defend you with his LIFE. Will chew out transphobes with both scientific backing and insult them at the same time, also willing to deck someone in the face if they get too ballsy around you (he always acts embarrassed afterwards though. He doesn't like violence but loves you enough to resort to it if needed)

- Learns about transgender/queer history both in pre-war and post-war times and tells you anything about it he thinks you'd find interesting

- Lets you wear his clothes if yours are dirty or damaged. Sometimes even excitedly insists on it because he loves how you look in his clothes

- Lets you use his razor if you need to shave and don't have one. He makes sure to sanitize it after use so you don't have to worry about shared germs

- Writes your new name down on his hand if you pick a new one. Very intent on memorizing it as best he can

- If you use xenopronouns/neopronouns, he loves hearing about it because he thinks it's a fascinating use of linguistics

- Just genuinely thinks you're the coolest guy ever. He'd be happy to have you around and gets depressed when you're away. Probably even talks about you a lot

- Excited at any progress in your transition. Whether it's physical changes or simply seeing you happy to be yourself, it makes him overjoyed to see you happy

okay no one asked but here is what the party is doing in bath & body works (i am u.s. american and have no idea if they have this overseas, so uh. if they don't and u are confused: it is basically a store where you can buy scented candles and lotions and stuff and it gives you a headache when you walk in because of all the smells. basically all u need to know)

ok. anyway.

el: goes in. smells every candle in the store. tries every "try me!!" lotion and body spray. leaves with a bottle of hand sanitizer or something. almost accidentally signs up for spam emails at the register before max stops her

max: goes in to buy the same lotion/body butter/shower gel/whatever else scent every time. she sticks to what she knows. HOWEVER she is not immune to smelling all of the new scents on the shelves and gagging when they are all unequivocally terrible compared to hers (the best one, obviously) (she's so me)

lucas: smells all of the candles with el. jokingly shoves all of the shitty scents in mike's face to make him gag (mike does the same back ofc). ends up buying like 5 candles because they're on sale or something

mike: hates the store because it gives him a headache. goes in and buys something anyway because it's there. probably shower gel or something. maybe body spray if he thinks will will like it (he totally does not watch will to see what scents he likes and then buys them immediately after. why would he do that. he has Never done that.)

will: buys three different lotions because they're on sale and he can't pick which one he likes the most. engages in candle sniffing with el and lucas. also engages in spraying body spray onto the little testing strips with max and gagging because most of them smell terrible

dustin: yk those scent things that you plug into the wall and they stink up your house. yeah. he buys like 10 of those and everyone is terrified of going in his house because it's like walking into a bottle of perfume. he claims the scents calm him even though everyone else is about to pass out from the fumes

I cannot tell you how much my eyes sparkled when I saw this! I think I have to wait till I’m done with highschool… but then I’m fucking out! I’ll start a tag.

[dykelawlight]

hyperspecific: what do you think fem!L, Light, & Mikami have on / in their desks?

GOOD ONE!!!! I'll do Mikami first because I've been thinking about that bitch of late

Mikami

Office landline. If we're doing this during the canon time period of the show, big old desktop computer + her work laptop on a little stand so she can be an early adopter of the use of dual monitors, which used to be fucking crazy to even think about. Work nameplate. I think she's a huge neat freak at work and basically only keeps stuff on her desk as she's actively using it, so she might end the day with a huge spread of case file stuff and code reference books and legal pad notes on her desk and will tidy every bit of it up and put it in its proper place before she leaves (probably at about 3AM if Japanese govt attorneys keep comparable schedules to Japanese firm attys). She's got a pull-out filing drawer that is organized to the letter with paper case files. Her other main drawers are just full of typical work stuff; extra legal pads, extra pens, hand sanitizer, paper clips, whatever. All pretty boring and standard-issue. She might have some pens in a little cup on her desk and she might have like a plain box of tissues for clients. She has an ergonomic wrist rest for her keyboard and a plain black mousepad. She leaves home stuff at home. I don't think she has so much as a houseplant in there. She wants to be taken seriously in an impersonal way and doesn't have time for shit like (glancing at my own desk) a tape dispenser shaped like a hedgehog.

She obviously has a desk at home, too, but it's similarly boring, with very few extra personal touches. She might have like a candle over there, a desk lamp, stuff like that, and she might stack personal reading (whenever she has time) over to the side.

L

L's desk is a fucking wreck. L is meticulously clean but by no means organized. L spreads case docs all over the place. Some of them fall on the floor. Whatever. She'll retrieve them as necessary.

She's obviously comfortable curling up into her preferred pose in a regular chair, but I think in terms of a regularly used personal desk she has a kneeling chair that she misuses by putting her feet on the pads instead of her knees, thereby completely negating any ergonomic value it might provide. (I am doing this as we speak.) I also think she keeps a space heater under her desk because she has terrible circulation in her feet.

She has a desk lamp but it's pretty standard-issue. She has a couple small things she fidgets with while she's really deep in thought, like a rubber band ball. Her drawers are also completely disorganized and chiefly used to ferret away snacks in the event that she forgets to eat for 8 hours or whatever. She might have some little desk-sized decorations that she thinks are amusing; probably like a Newton's cradle she can mess around with and a mini stuffed animal that she's become attached to for no particular reason. She's like Mikami if Mikami was a mess and also could ever loosen up. I think she has a wide array of colored gel pens also. She DEFINITELY has one of those 00s mouses with like bright blue fake water and plastic fish in it.

Light

Light's desk as an adult is carefully calculated to look both utilitarian and "normal." She has a plant. She has a nice little lamp she picked out. She has a box of tissues with a fun but unobtrusive pattern on it. She has a candle. She has a framed picture of her family. If she and L are together then she probably has a framed picture of them looking very Normal also, maybe on vacation or some shit. She has a plug-in mug warmer for her coffee. Etc. Desktop computer too but probably a little sleeker than Mikami's because she enters the workforce later.

Her desk is generally very clean. She keeps a microfiber cloth and some wet wipes in a drawer. She is still prone to the use of false-bottomed drawers to hide things she doesn't want other people to find, even if they're harmless and not magical murder weapons. She also keeps very organized files in a filing drawer for whatever her job might be in this scenario (probably a cop). Unlike L, she is staunchly opposed to the concept of eating at one's desk and has zero snacks in her vicinity at any time. That's why you pack a fucking lunchbox (very boring bamboo bento with her name on it).

She keeps a desk at home that's basically exactly the same because she doesn't like to mess with perfection. Unlike her last home desk, this one is not rigged as a bomb.

How to Maintain and Clean Your Silver Bowls Effectively?

Silver bowls provide elegance to your home and dining area, but adequate care is required to maintain their shiny attractiveness. If silver is not cared for, it will tarnish and lose its lustre. To avoid damage, silver bowls should be cleaned gently and stored properly. With a little effort, you can keep your silver bowls looking beautiful and ready for any special occasion. Discover efficient cleaning and maintenance strategies to keep your silver bowls looking great for years to come!

Understand the Basics of Silver Care

Understanding the fundamentals of silver care is critical to maintaining the beauty of your silver bowls. When it comes to cleaning silver bowls, there are various efficient methods for restoring their lustre. One popular method is to use baking soda and aluminium foil, which causes a chemical reaction that removes tarnish in 3-5 minutes.

Another alternative is to soak silver in a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda for 2-3 hours to effectively clean it. For rapid cures, apply ketchup straight to tarnished areas for 15-20 minutes. Finally, non-gel toothpaste can be used to gently buff and polish silver bowls, leaving them scratch-free and lovely.

Maintenance Tips

In addition to typical cleaning methods, there are a number of useful care techniques for silver bowls. Because of its alcohol concentration, hand sanitizer can be an effective remedy for tarnished silver. Simply apply a tiny amount to a soft cloth and buff the surface to a fast shine.

Another excellent approach is to use a lemon juice and salt scrub; simply split a lemon, sprinkle salt on the cut side, and scrub the tarnished areas gently. Rinse well thereafter to remove any remaining residue. By using these extra maintenance techniques, you can keep your Pure Silver Glass & silver bowls looking lovely and well-maintained for years to come.

Storage Tips to Keep Your Silver Bowls Safe

Use proper storage practices to keep your silver bowls safe. To reduce air and moisture exposure, use anti-tarnish pouches or wrap them in acid-free tissue paper. Store silver in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, which can hasten tarnishing. To avoid scratches, do not stack silver dishes; instead, use separators or a soft cloth between articles. Adding silica gel packets to storage places helps control moisture, ensuring that your silver bowls stay protected and retain their exquisite lustre.

When to Seek Professional Silver Cleaning Services

Knowing when to seek expert silver cleaning services is critical for preserving the quality of your silver bowls. If you have heavy tarnish that home cleaning methods cannot remove, or if your silver has deep scratches, dents, or substantial wear, you should visit a professional. Professional cleaners use specialised tools and techniques to safely and effectively restore the shine to your silver. Furthermore, if you own valuable or historic items, competent maintenance can help them retain their beauty and value for years to come.

Conclusion

Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your silver bowls looking beautiful and shiny. You can keep them looking as good as the day you acquired them by following basic cleaning and storing instructions. Regular upkeep ensures that your silver bowls are a timeless complement to your decor and always ready to impress. With a little care, your silver treasures will continue to shine for decades.

Get the Best Manicure Gilbert AZ: Top Salons Near You

Finding the perfect place for a manicure Gilbert AZ, is essential for anyone seeking professional nail care and a touch of pampering. The city offers a variety of options, but not all salons are created equal. If you’re looking for the best place to get your nails done, you’ve come to the right spot. This blog will guide you through the factors that make for an exceptional manicure experience and why choosing the right salon in Gilbert is key to getting the results you want.

Why Manicures Matter

A manicure is more than just a beauty treatment; it’s a self-care ritual that leaves your hands looking elegant and well-maintained. For many, a manicure offers a moment to unwind and focus on personal care. In addition to enhancing the appearance of your nails, regular manicures help maintain healthy cuticles, prevent nail damage, and promote proper hygiene.

When you’re investing in your nail care, you want to ensure that the salon you choose is offering high-quality services, professional nail technicians, and a clean environment. Here’s how to find the perfect manicure Gilbert AZ.

What to Look for in a Manicure Salon

When choosing a salon, there are several important factors to consider to ensure you receive the best service possible:

Cleanliness and Hygiene: A top priority in any salon should be cleanliness. You want to ensure that the salon follows strict sanitation practices, such as sterilizing tools and maintaining a clean workspace. This is especially important for manicures since your hands and nails are more prone to infection if the equipment isn’t properly sanitized. Look for a salon that uses disposable nail files and sterilized metal tools for each client.

Variety of Services: The best salons offer a wide range of manicure options. Whether you’re looking for a classic manicure, gel polish, or an intricate nail design, you should have access to various services to meet your preferences. A quality salon will offer everything from basic nail care to advanced treatments like acrylics, dip powders, and even specialized hand treatments.

Experienced Nail Technicians: A great manicure experience starts with the skills of the technician. Look for a salon that has highly trained staff who are experienced in nail care. You’ll want someone who is knowledgeable about the latest nail trends, shapes, and designs and can customize your manicure to suit your individual style.

Ambiance and Comfort: The environment of a salon plays a big role in your overall experience. Whether you’re visiting for a quick polish or a full hand treatment, the atmosphere should be relaxing and inviting. Comfortable seating, soothing music, and a welcoming staff can make your manicure experience feel luxurious.

Customer Reviews and Reputation: Before booking an appointment, it’s a good idea to check out reviews from previous customers. Look for salons in Gilbert, AZ, that consistently receive high ratings for their manicure services. Customer testimonials can provide insight into the salon’s professionalism, quality of service, and overall customer satisfaction.

Why Choose a Local Manicure Gilbert AZ?

Choosing a local salon for your manicure Gilbert AZ, not only supports the community but also ensures a more personalized experience. Local salons often take pride in their work and strive to build lasting relationships with their clients. This means you’ll receive more attention to detail and a commitment to providing high-quality nail care.

At Palace Nail Lounge, we take all of these factors seriously to ensure you have the best manicure experience possible. We understand that each client has unique preferences, and our team is dedicated to delivering outstanding results every time.

The Importance of Nail Health

One of the key benefits of regular manicures is maintaining nail health. Many people overlook the importance of routine nail care, but it’s essential to keep your nails strong and healthy. Professional manicures help prevent hangnails, reduce the risk of infections, and encourage growth. In addition, technicians can identify any early signs of nail issues, such as discoloration or weakness, and offer advice on proper care.

Manicures also provide a chance to pamper your hands, which are often exposed to harsh elements like sunlight, chemicals, and frequent hand washing. During a manicure, your hands and cuticles are moisturized and massaged, leaving your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.

Customizing Your Manicure

At a top salon like Palace Nail Lounge, customization is key. We offer a range of manicure styles and finishes to match your personal aesthetic. Whether you prefer a natural look with a simple polish or want to make a bold statement with detailed nail art, we have something for everyone. Gel and dip powder manicures are popular for their long-lasting effects, while acrylics offer added durability for those with weaker nails.

Choosing your nail shape is another fun way to personalize your manicure. From classic square to trendy almond or coffin shapes, your nail technician will help you choose the perfect fit for your style and lifestyle.

Understanding Different Types of Manicures

To get the perfect manicure, it's essential to understand the various types available. Each type offers unique benefits tailored to different needs and preferences.

Classic Manicure

A classic manicure involves basic nail care, including trimming, shaping, cuticle grooming, and applying a standard nail polish. It's perfect for those seeking a simple and elegant look.

Gel Manicure

A gel manicure uses special gel polishes that are cured under a UV or LED lamp, providing a long-lasting finish without chipping. This type is ideal for individuals with busy lifestyles who want their nails to stay pristine for weeks.

Acrylic Manicure

An acrylic manicure involves the application of acrylic nails, which are a combination of liquid and powder monomers that form a hard protective layer over natural nails. This method is popular for adding length and strength to nails.

Shellac Manicure

A shellac manicure combines the benefits of gel and regular polish, offering a durable and high-shine finish. It’s a great choice for those looking to extend the life of their manicure without the harsh removal process of traditional gels.

Nail Art

For those wanting to express creativity, nail art offers endless possibilities. From simple designs to intricate patterns, nail art can be customized to match personal styles and occasions.

Maintaining Your Manicure for Long-Lasting Results

Achieving a perfect manicure is just the first step; maintaining it ensures your nails remain beautiful and healthy for longer.

Daily Nail Care Tips

Keep Nails Clean and Dry: This prevents bacteria growth and keeps nails strong.

Moisturize Regularly: Apply hand and nail creams to keep your cuticles and skin hydrated.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use gloves when cleaning or using products that can damage nails.

Protecting Your Nails

Use a Base Coat: Before applying nail polish, a base coat protects your nails from staining and promotes a smooth finish.

Apply a Top Coat: A top coat adds shine and durability, helping your manicure last longer.

Limit Use of Acrylics and Gels: While they offer longevity, excessive use can weaken natural nails.

Scheduling Regular Touch-Ups

Regular touch-ups every two weeks help in maintaining the shape and color of your manicure. It’s also an opportunity to address any nail issues promptly.

Trends and Styles for the Perfect Manicure

Staying updated with the latest trends can elevate your manicure game. Here are some popular styles to consider:

Minimalist Designs

Minimalist designs focus on simple yet elegant patterns, often using neutral colors and subtle embellishments. They are perfect for a sophisticated and timeless look.

Bold Colors and Ombre

Bold colors make a statement, while ombre manicures create a gradient effect that adds depth and dimension to your nails.

3D Nail Art

Adding 3D elements like gems, studs, and intricate patterns can give your nails a unique and eye-catching appearance.

Seasonal Themes

Embracing seasonal themes, such as pastels in spring or metallics in winter, keeps your manicure fresh and relevant.

Matte Finishes

Matte finishes offer a modern twist to traditional glossy nails, providing a chic and understated look.

The Significance of Instant Gel Hand Sanitizers in Our Everyday Lives

In the modern world, hygiene has become an issue that every one of us is concerned with. Among the handy tools developed to help us is the instant gel hand sanitizer. Whether one is leaving the house, going to a meeting, or simply taking care of the daily chores, sanitizers have become an inseparable part of our lives for personal protection.

Why Instant Gel Hand Sanitizers?

Instant gel hand sanitizers have gained immense popularity because of their ability to quickly eliminate germs. Basically, what distinguishes them from the normal soaps and water is the speed and convenience they offer. A few drops allow one to completely sanitize their hands without any access to water, hence becoming ideal for those on-the-go processes where access to hand-washing facilities might be insignificant.

A product like Cororid Instant Gel Hand Sanitizer strikes a perfect balance between hygiene and convenience. This product is formulated with top-grade ingredients to clean your hands in just seconds, leaving no sticky residuals. It is of a smooth gel texture for easy coverage across your hands, giving you proper protection in the best possible way.

Cororid Instant Gel Hand Sanitizer 5L

The Science behind Gel Hand Sanitizers

Most instant hand sanitizers are based on alcohol, containing high concentrations of either ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. This is generally effective through denaturation of proteins in microbial agents, which can then kill bacteria and viruses. Consequently, they are very effective against a broad range of pathogens.

The added convenience of the gel formulation ensures that the sanitizer does not drip and evaporate away too fast, giving you ample time to rub it across your hands. It assures maximum contact with your skin to eliminate the germs hiding in every nook and corner.

Where and When to Use Instant Hand Sanitizers?

While highly effective, it comes down to knowing when and where to use them. For health experts, they should be your number one option in public spaces: shopping malls, offices, public transport, and restaurants are a must. Fundamentally, anywhere surfaces are in contact with frequently touched areas by large numbers of people, you are at risk of transferring germs onto your hands.

It's also a good idea to always have an instant hand sanitizer on your person. When soap and water are not around, hand sanitizers are the ideal replacement; they will keep you safe.

How to use Instant Gel Hand Sanitizers?

To use an instant gel hand sanitizer effectively, make sure you follow these steps: 

Apply enough of the hand sanitizer onto the palm of one hand.

Rub your hands together, making sure the gel has covered every surface of your hand, including in between your fingers. Continue working the gel into your hands until it is thoroughly dry. Remember, the trick in effectively using a sanitizer is to make the sanitizers touch all parts of your hands; otherwise, germs could easily hide between your fingers and around your nails.

Essential Hygiene Tool

As long as hygiene is a number one concern in our everyday life, instant hand sanitizers will always play a vital role. Convenience, action, and ease of use make them an indispensable companion in every household and at work, and even in your pocket. With such products as Cororid Instant Gel Hand Sanitizer, one protects not only his or her personal health but also cares about being in an environment that is friendly and clean for others around him or her.
