#i dont know what is in those naps that get me energized

[deadestofdoves]

I just broke my record for shortest nap in 4 minutes and 38 seconds

[hoe-doroki]

Can I request some tender loving from soft dom deku and female reader?

Very swnsual

Just you've been together forever and waking up from an afternoon nap together

You're feeling particularly loving. Like you have so much love to give that your hearts just gonna burst if you dont show it to him.

I'm just in a soft Feku mood, let him run his fingers through my hair and tell me im his sweetheart, im his girl.

Thank you!

Hi, dear! You wanted a loving Deku to top you, well you came to the right place. Not quite dom/sub, but I think I squeezed in some of the things you wanted. Hope you like it! ;)

The sunlight was bright in your eyes before they were even open. You scrunched your face to fight off that red glare behind your lids and turned away into a mess of soft curls.

That you could wake up looking at.

When you opened your eyes, your husband’s face was aglow with the high midday light. His jaw was slack, mouth partially open—he was still well asleep. Izuku was always so tired from work that he could sleep through anything, cheeky sunlight included. Of course, this was only when he was feeling safe, which usually meant with you. With you he could sleep undisturbed, at peace.

The butterflies in your stomach quivered as you rolled to one side to fully face out of the sun and towards him. The back of his hair was still dark, damp from the shower he’d taken before you’d convinced him to crawl back into bed. Even the number one hero should sleep in on a Saturday off from work.

Of course, he hadn’t. So after he’d returned from an early run to the gym, you’d managed to pull him back in for the rest that you knew he needed. His eyelids had still been just a pinch too heavy, his smile a tad too slow—though no less genuine.

You pressed your nose against the freckles on his cheek, warmed by the sun. You couldn’t remember the last time the two of you had awoken in such glorious sunlight. All the skyscrapers in the city made true beams of sun rare in your apartment. But today, it seemed, you’d gotten lucky.

“Honey?”

Your eyes had fluttered closed again against Izuku’s soft cheek, so you opened them to see the light twitches of Izuku’s cracking open.

“Sorry, did I wake you?” you asked, your mouth millimeters away from his jawline, tantalizingly close.

“Mm, that’s okay.” Izuku rolled over so that he was facing you, a smile spreading across his face. “Hi.”

“Hi,” you returned, your teeth just barely showing in a grin as Izuku found your hand beneath the blanket and intertwined your fingers with his. He brought your hand up to his mouth and kissed right below where your wedding band was, the scratches on the white gold glinting in the bright sun.

Izuku’s eyes were a wide meadow of grassy green in that moment as the sun glinted off of them. His pupils were shrunk to pinpricks, totally focused on you and a little cross-eyed as you lay nose to nose. “That was a good nap.”

“Mm, yeah.”

Your feet were rubbing together lightly, knees knocking as you both slowly surfaced from the haze that sleeping in the middle of the day always painted over you. It only felt natural that, as you did, the crown of your head tilted a little further into the pillow and your chin angled a little closer to your husband. Your noses shifted from rubbing affectionately to slotting together as you exchanged soft kisses. After a moment, Izuku pulled apart, lips curling up, brows raised under his curls that were flat from the pillow.

“Very energizing nap too, right?”

A smirk pulled at half your face. “Something like that.”

You met back again with a little more gusto, Izuku’s hand pulling from yours in order to cup your chin while you brought your hand to his shirtless back, pressing him closer to you. You raised your left leg up underneath the blanket and hooked it over Izuku’s thigh, and you could quickly feel his need growing beneath the boxers he’d thrown on out of the shower.

Izuku’s tongue just tasted like Izuku��familiar from whenever he had time for morning kisses before duty called. But the rest of him was nothing but clean: fruity shampoo from the shower, the slight musk of his aftershave and deodorant, the very light pine from his bodywash. It all was soft but not trying too hard.

“God, I wish I had more days off,” Izuku groaned as he naturally started pushing you onto your back, the hand that had been on your jaw now down to the fleshy part of your shoulder as his torso fell over yours.

“You don’t,” you said, almost giggling at what a lie that had been. “You just wish that you had more time.”

His eyes were soft as he pulled back to look at you. You could see in flecks of dark jade the hints of regret that Izuku always held. There was never enough time to be a hero. Never enough time to be a husband. Even if he spurned one and took on the other exclusively, it would never be enough. So he made do with what he had and, over the years, had put every effort into making time for both, doing everything with that inimitable Deku ardor.

“I do,” he said. “God, I do.”

You were completely on your back now as he pressed between your legs, which came up to hook around his hips. He leaned into you heavily, against your mouth, against your core. His intent had grown quickly, as it always did, and yours was rising to meet him.

The tee you’d thrown on had ridden far higher than your panties and Izuku had one hand creeping under it, cupping one of your breasts as he ground against you. A few moans escaped you as he kissed you passionately, just as he had when your relationship had been new. But now the passion was matched with experience; he knew your every spot, every desire almost better than you did. Soon he was rising off of you, the hem of the shirt clenched in his hand. You arched up for him to pull it off of you and then relaxed back down.

You expected Izuku to follow you immediately, but instead one hand passed over your hair and he smiled.

“You’re beautiful,” he stated. “Just, like…really, really amazing.”

You preened at the praise and it compelled you to hook both hands around Izuku’s neck and pull him back down to you. You met no resistance as his mouth fell back against yours, his hands pressed on either side of your hips as he began rutting against you through your undergarments.

“God, Izu,” you breathed as, even through his boxers, the head of his cock managed to meet your clit. Your panties were clinging to the slick that had already formed, and his thick shaft was keeping them stuck while you just wanted them off, sooner rather than later.

“I know, honey,” Izuku groaned, grasping the elastic of your panties in both hands. “God, I always need you so much.”

“Me too,” you said, bringing your legs together so that Izuku could pull your panties down and throw them to the ground.

His boxers were next, not getting the delicate treatment that your underwear had gotten. He tore them off, betraying his eagerness as he immediately went to the bedside drawer for your half-empty bottle of lube, squirting some generously in his hand. He fisted it over his cock before taking his slick hand and pressing it against your pussy, rubbing four fingers up and down over the breadth of your sex. You gasped, arching against the bed at the direct contact, suddenly so much warmer than you had been a moment ago, from your cunt to your breasts now bathed in sun.

“Are you ready for me, sweetheart?” Izuku mumbled against your mouth as his body came close and his hand, the one puckered with scars, rubbed against the roundness of your hip.

“Please—need you,” you said, practically quivering for him as his wet dick slid over top of your needy hole.

“Okay, gonna take you so high,” Izuku said as he grabbed his cock and readied it against your entrance and you felt the hot stretch of him pressing into you.

“Yes,” you whispered as he sunk in, the perfect shape and contours of his cock brushing all the familiar spots inside of you until he bottomed out. Then he took your hand in his again, forehead pressed against yours and began long, deep thrusts.

“God, I love you, honey,” Izuku said as the pace slowly increased, his pelvis slapping into yours with a wet clap at every full thrust. “You feel so good for me. So hot and tight.”

You just whined in response as you lifted your hips to his. Maintaining his pounding, Izuku reached for one of your pillows and, without prompting, you raised up enough for him to slide it under you so he could hit all your secret places with every thrust.

All you could do was grip him tightly as he had his way with you. Your fingers clenched around his, your legs around his waist, and—most of all—your throbbing cunny around his hard cock.

God, he was right. You didn’t get to have him like this enough. He was so good—so strong and kind—and you loved him so much that it was never enough.

“Close, sweetheart?”

“Yes!” you cried as one hand crept down to your clit and started rubbing a slick pattern on it. “Fuck, fill me up, Izuku.”

Izuku grunted as your walls squeezed around him a little tighter. “Not yet, sweetheart. You don’t get my cum until you finish.”

Everything got hazier as you closed your eyes to the sunlight, overcome by the sensations on your clit and in your cunt—even more so when Izuku bent his head and began suckling on your neck. All you could focus on were those three points, each becoming stronger and stronger in your brain until you suddenly gasped, legs shaking around your husband as he pulled your orgasm out of you, stoking it as he kept thrusting into you.

“There it is, honey,” Izuku said, and you could feel him smiling against his neck. “Now do you want my cum?”

You could do little more than whine for it as you came down from your orgasm, desiring to make Izuku feel as good as you did, for you to give him a shred of the pleasure that he did you. So you squeezed him tighter around the waist and drew him into you, wanting nothing more than his cum deep inside of you the moment he finished.

“Please, Zuku,” you breathed. “I love you.”

His brows screwed together, tight with concentration as his pace sped up to full speed—the tell tale sign that he was reaching his end.

“Uh—Oh god,” Izuku grunted as he began to spurt inside of you, painting your insides with liquid heat. “Fuck, I’m cumming. Gonna fill you so good.”

He was already making good on his word. Some of his essence squeezed out as his thrusts continued, making a mess of you both. You just held him as he slowed down, his heavy breaths pushing his stomach into yours until finally stuttering to a stop. Just before he fell boneless, he wrapped both arms around you and flipped you onto his stomach where he could hold you close.

“You’re so good for me, sweetheart,” Izuku said, pressing a kiss to your shoulder and running his hands up and down your bare back.

“Mm,” you hummed, eyes closing against Izuku’s chest as you felt him slip out of you and your combined fluids begin to dribble out. “Making a mess.”

“That’s okay,” Izuku said, one hand moving up to the base of your hairline and playing with the tiniest strands that lived there. “I’ll get you cleaned up in a minute. I’m just not done holding you yet.”

You weren’t done yet either, so you made sure to hold him everywhere you could. You straightened your legs a bit, tangling them with Izuku’s and kept your arms loosely wrapped around his neck. His body was so warm, so strong. He held you like this often enough that you knew that you weren’t too heavy on top of him—he’d proven you wrong too many times when you’d tried to argue with him.

His chest had broadened with age and was just perfect to lie against, whether with just a head and a hand or with your whole body like now. And he’d only gotten stronger in his years as the number one hero. In a few minutes’ time, he’d lift up the both of you and carry you to the bath, despite having taken a shower himself just before your nap. His gnarled hands would pass softly over your skin, cleaning you up and loving you well.

But, for now, you lay as the day’s sun traveled over your interlaced bodies. You lay until it passed your toes, until it left the room. Even without it, you were still warm.

Its okay. You do not suck. Its a perfectly valid reason to not go. Life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, i only asked because ill be going to college in september and i was wondering if you had any advice for a freshman? (I was the one who asked btw) like. Stuff to bring/not bring, do's and dont's, etc. The whole idea is kind of a little bit terrifying.

//Oh,right. I’m sorry.

Well,as a freshman, you’ll want to keep a planner, for everything, notjust for classes. Not only will this help you organize, but you canactively see where you can put aside time for school work, socialtime, and self care. Always make time for self care, at least onceper week. Log it in, physically make a plan for it, don’t letanybody take away that from you. (Mine are friday nights, and I liketo shower, exfoliate, and treat myself to a nicely cooked meal, andthen watch forensic files)

Havingone folder, one binder, one notebook for everything can beoverwhelming and heavy. What I suggest is to have a single binder foreverything, and to put loose leaf paper into it (Which is muchcheaper to buy than measely 80 page notebooks, and you get way morepaper), and hook your folder s if you need them into it, or just usetabs which is what I use.

Onetab for math, one tab for literature, one tab for economics, etc. Itmakes it far less stressful, and your back will thank you.

Havea separate folder for paperwork from the college itself, likefinancial aid, or cashier’s office, or book store. Schools willfuck things up, a lot. You have no idea how many times I’vescreenshotted my payments and gone to the financial aid office toprove to them that I already paid, and saved my ass. Don’t buybooks ahead of time unless you’ve already talked to the professoron how often you will use it. I had a professor who ended up notusing his books MANY times, and in fact would just copy the pages heneeded and passed them out on his own dime. (God bless you Dr.Lanigan) It will save you hundreds.

Meal.Prep. It doesn’t have to be fancy. But there’s something calledthe Freshman 15, where you either gain 15 pounds in your first year,or lose it. You need to prepare yourself with foods that will giveyou energy. Remember breakfast in the morning, remember snacks,remember to pack non perishable things that won’t make you sickduring the day. I used to bring a whole jar of peanut butter andwhole loaf of bread to last me my 12 hour days at school. Try to makeit as nutritious as possible, because god almighty, you need thefocus. Lots of carbs and heavy foods will make your brain want tosleep, not focus.

Hydrate.Coffee sounds real good when you’re a freshman, and you’re boundto need coffee as often as you’d like, but for the love of god…drink water in between cups of coffee. Coffee dehydrates you, andwill actually make you crash harder if you haven’t hydrated inbetween cups of coffee. Not only does it make you more energized, itwill help you stay full if you have it with your snacks. Your skinwill thank you as well.

Youare not required to dress up for classes, no matter what people tellyou. If you are in the middle of a flu, and exams at the same time,your teachers are just glad you are alive enough to take the test,and won’t judge pajama pants and a big hoodie. Unless you have apresentation, don’t try to dress to impress.

Makefriends with the right people, by talking with classmates, get toknow who likes to form study groups, and socialize with them on that.They’re going to be the people who take notes for you when you aresick, or set up google docs for their friends while typing up notes.Set up time before class, maybe just ten or twenty minutes, to gothrough study guides on test days, make it fun, bring a snack, getpeople hyped up, be the cheerleader.

Nappingin your car is not a bad thing. I’ve slept in the breastfeedinglounge in the bathrooms, the cafeteria, the student lounge, and mycar. Nobody judges you. They think “Oh fuck I should nap in my carsometime”

Thereare many departments in your school. If your car needs a jump whenthe battery dies, you can ask security to give you a jump on yourcar. I’ve done it too many times with my shitty toy car that I usedto drive.

Utilizethe printer, as it’s cheap as fuck to print your sheets, and alwaysmake a copy, so you can write down what you’d like to change, and aspare, in case you don’t get a chance to edit before turning it in.

Earlymorning classes are the devil, but you get out earlier, and you getmore done in the day. Don’t be afraid of early classes, because ifan afternoon class gets cancelled, you end up getting out at likefucking noon and it’s the best fucking feeling in the world.

Keepchapstick on you, one pen and one pencil, and if your school doesscantrons, always keep a few in your bag, because you will forget oneof these days, and it happens to everyone.

Seekcounseling through the school. it’s free. Some universities havetheir own clinic, and it’s great. Non charge. Some people get somecharges, depending on their stuff, but you should utilize it. Don’ttry to do it before a class. Make that your last thing you do in theday, because class will not be fun after therapy.

Carrycash, and force yourself to use that instead of your card, becauseyou will keep track of what you’re spending. Then save the coinsup, at the end of each day, empty your coins into a little piggybank, it adds up for a while. I can’t tell you how many times thosecoins have been emergency gas for me.

I was feeling a lot better but my allergies are going crazy and im having some trouble breathing. I just took some medicine but i really dont love sitting here wheezing.

Today was a much better day. I was all overheated last night and was probably annoying to James whining about it. But eventually I was able to sleep.

James got up at 630. Because. And I was like. No. So I stayed in bed for a while. He made us biscuits. From scratch. And eventually I got up. And then fell back down. James eventually pulled me up and we had breakfast.

Eventually we got ready to go. He packed his bag for his trip. And walked me to my bike.

I had a good ride home. And I felt energized for once. So i cleaned. Finally. My whole space feels so good right now. I cleaned for about an hour. I ran to the grocery store for anything I could need tomorrow. Since I won't leave my houseor shop on Thanksgiving. I decided to wear jeans today which made biking very hard. I cannot bend very well. Which became a theme of the day.

When I got back from the grocery store I sorted my laundry to do later. And then got ready to go. My bus was running early so even though I missed one as I walked up to the stop I still got on the bus very quickly.

I got to the school right before 12:30. And I got Right to Work filling up their paint palettes. Put some showed up. And we had a much better report today. Like we're both in a really good mood and just really jazzed about the day. And I really just sent a really good tone for how we would work with the kids. I did end up talking to Tiffany about some of my concerns and she said that she had had some as well. So I'm glad that we can have an open conversation about it. But it was nice being able to work with him and just be in a really good mood.

I ended up asking a whole bunch of questions about holidays in Ethiopia and how he feels about Western media's portrayal of his country. It was really fascinating getting to hear his perspective on everything.

And soon enough it was time to go get the kids. I really enjoy going down to their classrooms to grab them. I'm trying to introduce myself to other teachers so that I'm not just some random girl hanging out in the hallway. And eventually they all got dismissed and came upstairs.

It was a stellar day. We only had 13 students which was great. And having such a small amount of kids made the whole day just go so much smoother. I know we can't have that few kids all the time but man is it ideal.

We started the day with some rules about the 10th to try to evade some of the problems that we had yesterday. And I think that's going to help going forward. The kids really seem to understand the rules once I had them read them out loud. We went to recess and that was fine. Elijah did fall in a ditch and twisted his ankle and I had to give him a piggyback ride all the way back to the building. Because I didn't want him to have to lean on the kids and bounce which would have taken an hour. But he's real small so I didn't care about carrying him.

Dinner was just fine. They all ate fairly quickly and cleaned up with not much issue. We lined up and headed to the classroom. We were supposed to paint outside but it was just too cold and windy to do it. So instead we painted from the windows. And put some have made some few finders for the kids and so everyone use those to decide on what they are painting and then they just looked out the windows and painted what they saw. About 90% of the kids understood what they were supposed to be doing. But all of their work came out so nice. I posted a picture of my painting from yesterday my painting from stay above. But the kids work was just really fun. It was also really nice to be painting with them. Me and him both did one. Like he did his is an example to start with and then both of us just painted for the rest of class. It was really nice to have the kids run up to us and look what we're doing and then run back to their painting. It was like we were inspiring them in that moment and that was really cool.

Cleaning up was just fine. We didn't really have too many problems today. Fitsum had them all go around the room and talk about things that they were thankful for. And then I have them lined up in the hallway and we headed to snack. We have lost a couple students. Two are moving. One was suspended. One just decided to not come anymore. I know there's a mom that may have pulled him out of the program. So we may be getting a bunch of new students. But I think right now we're doing really well. Today was just really really nice.

It took a little longer to completely clean up our classroom. And then we headed out. I got home before 6. And basically changed and got right back on my bike to head to the 7-Eleven to pick up the package. Because the 7-Eleven down by the stadium has an Amazon Locker. And my new pillow came.

Wasn't a bad ride. I just never been there before so I was a little nervous about going the right direction. But it ended up being no big deal. Just a few blocks off of my normal path down to the harbor. I got my box and came back home. I played with sweet pea. I did laundry. I wash my sleeping bags for overnight switch I have a few coming up. And I need to be ready for. I had dinner. And I've been watching a really great YouTube series about Catherine the Great for the last hour. I'm excited to have the next day off. I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to go to work at ships on Friday. I told him yeah I really didn't want to but I would if she needed me but she never answered me after that. So I don't know if I'm supposed to be working. Which I find very obnoxious. Honestly at this point I really just want to say no. That she hasn't given me any concrete answer and that's not cool. It would be nice to just have another chill day off. But either way. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. My plan is to wake up early and have breakfast. I want to take a bath. I want to work on my art. Finish my diorama. Paint for a while. Maybe do some embroidery. I wish I had some watercolor paper because I would really like to start Making some plans for me and Jess's next project. But maybe even then with the paper I do have I can figure something out. I really hope to take advantage and have a nice day. I would like to take a nap at some point too. Just like all of my blankets on my bed surrounding me. I want everything to feel soft. I don't want to feel guilty about anything tomorrow. I hope you guys all have a nice day tomorrow. I hope you all have the day off but if you don't I hope the day is kind to you.

Good night everyone.

[tkpro-scenarios]

Ooooo this seems fun XD My tsukipro babies are getting more love now im so happy TwT Could i request hcs for solids and quells ideal s/o? (If its too much, you can always split it into separate posts, i dont mind) P.s. wish you admins the best of luck running this blog!! ^^

Hello! Mods are also so very happy our precious babies are getting more love~ Thank you so much, we’ll do our best!!Of course you can request for my (mod nana’s) SQ boys~!

We’ll make an exception this time but the rules clearly state the max is 5 characters for headcanons, this includes requesting for units as a whole as well (i.e. requesting for SolidS already = 4 characters so you can only request for one more character) so please keep that in mind for future requests! It’s fine to send in more than one ask but please keep them within the character request limit.

Since Vol. 4 already mentions a bit about the SolidS’ boys’ preferred types, I’m going to expand a little on that for some of these - mod nana

SOLIDS

Takamura Shiki

Confidence is key when wanting to impress Darling

Someone that can keep up with him but is also notafraid to stand their ground.

Someone who’s good at taking care of otherswould certainly catch his eye, especially if they’re not afraid to be strictand scold him when he’s pushing his limits.

“Shiki go to sleep.”

“Sleep is for the weak.”

“Shiki go to sleep right now or so help me, I’mgonna pull the plug off the monitor.”

He’d like someone with a good head on theirshoulders, who thinks logically and overcomes situations with grace.

His s/o would have to be pretty independent.They should be able to go places and do things by themselves since he mostlikely won’t be around most of the time. (But he’ll def more than make up forit when he gets the chance)

Anyone that can deal with SoliRadi!Shiki hasboth my blessings and condolences.

He’s also not all that big on PDA so don’texpect anything much other than maybe holding hands.

His s/o needs to understandand be okay with the fact that he won’t be very vocal about his affections sowhile he might not say “I love you” all that often, they should know he verymuch means it during the times he does.

Someone who’s passionate about something! No matter what it is, as long as it’s something they love and have a goal they’re working hard for, it would definitely catch his heart.

Okui Tsubasa

Honey wants someone that’ll give him attention and isjust fun to be around. Ifthey’re older, he’d probably like it if they spoiled him a little.

Again, confidence is key! But so is playing alittle hard to get, he likes the chase.

This shameless bitch boy does not shyaway from affection so be prepared to suddenly make out in the middle of a busystreet in broad daylight. Of course, he wouldn’t mind an s/o that’s shy aboutPDA (he’d even find it cute) but if they’re too shy then he’ll most likely getbored.

While he loves teasing his s/o, he’d love iteven more if they’re able to turn the tables or pull the rug from underneathhim, so a quick wit would really get his heart racing. He loves people that cankeep him on his toes!

The outgoing, social type would catch his eye in a heartbeat. He will tend to get jealous pretty easily if his s/oacts a little too close towards other people though.

Being fashion forward would be a big plus. He’d love to go shopping—even just window shopping—and look atdifferent kinds of clothes, accessories, etc. together or exchange opinions on styles

He’s the type to hide his insecurities behind his cheeky attitude and work hard behind the scenes so someone that can see through that andconfront him about it in private, or silently watch over him to make sure hedoesn’t get too in over his head would definitely hold a special place in hisheart.

Sera Rikka

Since he’s the mom, always taking care of others, he definitely needs someone that’ll take care of him.

Someone that he can act selfish around and is willing to spoil him when he needs it.

Someone that carries themselves well and has a graceful air about them would definitely turn his head.

While he is a model and an idol, his s/o doesn’t necessarily need to be fashion forward but it would be a plus point. Even if they don’t know much about fashion trends and whatnot, Rikka would probably just end up teaching them about it or help out in coordinating outfits.

Please cook for him or together with him. He will love that so so much.

He’s always keeping an eye on those around him, the type that wants to avoid stepping on anyone’s toes so someone that’ll take the initiative to ask him what he wants for once would really leave an impression on his heart.

He’d be pretty professional when out in public so PDA would most likely be just holding hands, maybe a kiss or two. He’d love an s/o that’d surprise him with quick pecks on the cheek or just random hugs.

Murase Dai

He’s a very quiet person so someone that’s comfortable with that. He’d really appreciate someone who doesn’t mind passing the time with comfortable silence.

While his s/o themselves can be talkative, he’d like it if they understand that he won’t have a comment or reply for every single thing.

Someone who’s willing to buy desserts on his behalf. Or even make them for him.

He’s a very shy person so his s/o needs to be patient enough to let him slowly get used to showing affections and initiate things.

PDA would be little to none, at least at first. Maybe holding hands? (but he’ll be blushing the whole time.) So someone that’s okay with that.

Since he’s always treated as the little brother of the group, he’d appreciate someone that’s willing to rely on him from time to time.

He’s too shy to ask for things like hugs and kisses so someone that gets the message even without him having to explicitly say it. Please cuddle with this tsundere puppy.

QUELL

Izumi Shu

He’d love someone that has a gentle aura around them, someone he can be comfortable around without the need for words.

Since he lost his mother at an early age, he’d probably be drawn to someone motherly.

Like Shiki, he’s also very busy and won’t be around much so an s/o that understands that work takes up most of his time and is willing to watch over him.

He tends to take a lot of things upon himself so someone that pulls him aside and makes him talk about his worries and reminds him that he is not alone and doesn’t need to do everything by himself.

Someone that just really helps him relax and keeps him grounded. Makes him take a nap or takes him out somewhere to clear his head and just makes him talk about stuff and give their advice.

Someone that reminds him that he is loved. Shower this man with love and affection, he deserves it SO much ; w ;

He’s a fairly affectionate person but more so in private so an s/o that’ll kiss him silly when he needs an energizer and surprises him with kisses and cuddles.

Horimiya Eichi

He doesn’t really have a type as such. Just someone that’s fun to be around and enjoys his company.

He’s a rather active person so an s/o that can keep up with his energy. Someone that’ll take a stroll with him or go on outdoor adventures together.

Being as obsessed with taking photos/videos as Eichi is (he was an AD after all), his s/o needs to be comfortable enough to let him do that. Lots of selfies and dumb videos. Of course it’s perfectly alright to be a little camera shy! He’d never make someone do something they don’t want to.

An s/o that loves cuddling and hugging. Be warned though: once he has you in his arms, he’ll never let you go.

Someone that can remind him to take it down a notch when he puts too much on his plate as Quell’s mom and an idol. He’s always taking care of the others so his s/o should remind him that he deserves to be taken care of as well.

An s/o that can cook! Please make him a home-cooked meal, he’ll be on cloud nine.

He’d find it really hard not to show PDA. “His s/o is just so cute he wants to kiss them right then and there!”—a person that’s a little shy about that but still returns his feelings.

Kuga Issei

He would be drawn to the motherly type, but would also be attracted to a bright, outgoing person.

Being the quiet boy he is, he would like to be with someone that can help him break out of his shell—even just a little. The kind of person that can take him by the hand and show him new experiences.

Like Dai, he would also like someone that’s comfortable with his quietness.

Of course an s/o that cares for and gets along with Ichiru is a must!

He’s still learning how to be a proper idol and be more social so someone that he can lean on for support and can give him advice. Someone he feels comfortable sharing his worries with.

Because Issei often gets taken care of by Ichiru as well as by Shu and Eichi, he’d like an s/o that sees that he can be reliable as well. He is a big brother after all!

As far as PDA goes, he doesn’t particularly mind as long as his s/o is okay with it but he would rather do things like kissing in private. He doesn’t want someone that’ll smother him with affection though. Sometimes taking it slow is fine, isn’t it?

His s/o should also understand that he does things at his own pace. He’ll properly tell them his feelings when he does.

Kuga Ichiru

He would also be attracted to the motherly type, a shy person but one who isn’t afraid to speak their mind when they need to. He’d probably have similar tastes as his brother.

At the same time, an s/o that’s not afraid to bite back would definitely give him a run for his money!

Someone that can keep him grounded. He tends to leap before he looks and often loses himself to his emotions, so his s/o should be able to reel him back in and firmly reprimand him when he goes too far.

He’s a bigger tsundere than Dai so patience and the ability to laugh off his (often unintended) harsh words will go a long way. Someone that understands that he’s not exactly the best at honestly expressing his feelings when he’s flustered.

His s/o should also be respecting and accepting of the fact that Issei will often take more priority than anything else.

He would instantly fall for someone that gets along well with both him and Issei.

Again, he’s a tsundere so his s/o should be prepared to get yelled at for surprising him with a sudden display of affection.

“I-Idiot! Wh-What do you think you’re doing?!”

“I’m just holding your hand. You don’t want to?”

“Hmph! I-It’s not like I like doing this or anything…”

His blush and tightening grip say otherwise.

He doesn’t want an s/o that constantly spoils him or dotes on him. Just because he’s the youngest of the group does not make him any less reliable!

ALL of the questions for Q2

42. I have a question of my own! - rip

PHYSICAL PRESENCE AND GESTURE.

1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy? - probably slow & deliberate

2. How much physical space do they use, active and at rest? - probably not much either way. She’s a sneaky gal & taking up as little space as possible is an ingrained habit by now

3. How do they position themselves in a group? Do they like to be the center of attention, or do they hang back at the edges of a crowd? - she doesn’t rly like talking anyway, so she doens’t rly bother trying to be the center of attention. She just hangs back & listens if she has to

4. What is their size and build? How does it influence how they use their body, if it does? - im not sure if synths have like. A certain size they’re built for cause im 90% sure they don’t grow, but i like to think she’s p small & uses it to sneak around doing her job and/or hiding from other coursers if she defects

5. How do they dress? What styles, colors, accessories, and other possessions do they favor? Why? - before she defects, just the normal courser uniform cause i think all coursers have to lmao. If she defects & gets her memories changed she’ll probably have the hooded rags outfit

6. What are they like in motion–in different environments, and in different activities? What causes the differences between these? - honestly i have no idea how to answer this rip

7. How do they physically engage with other people, inanimate objects, and their environment? What causes the differences between these? - with people, at least before defecting she probably kinda.. Doesn’t? She’ll hurt synths she needs to bring in if she has to but otherwise, she just doesn't physically interact. Depends on the object too - if a computer console needs hacking & she can’t manage it she’ll just give up & break it

8. Where and when do they seem most and least at ease? Why? How can you tell? - she is literally never at ease. Ever. She’s constantly a little stressed. She’s always around other coursers which she doesn’t like, doing a mission she doesn't enjoy or defecting & worried about being caught

9. How do they manifest energy, exhaustion, tension, or other strong emotions? - mMM shrug

10. What energizes and drains them most? - she just wants to sleep & eat pie. That’s probably all that energizes her tbh. Tho if she ever got a gf being around her would probably be a little energizing

11. How are they vocally expressive? What kind of voice, accent, tones, inflections, volume, phrases and slang, and manner of speaking do they use? - honestly i. Dont rly know. She’s definitely v quiet & only says things she has to, like mission reports or asking for pie

12. How are they bodily expressive? How do they use nonverbal cues such as their posture, stance, eyes, eyebrows, mouths, and hands? - she just. Isn’t. If u were trying to guess her mood on body and face expressions, there’s literally no difference between happy & excited or horny & hatred

DISPOSITION AND TEMPERAMENT.

13. How do they greet the world — what is their typical attitude towards life? How does it differ in different circumstances, or towards different subjects? Why do they take these attitudes, and why do they change? How do these tend to be expressed? - again she’s not v expressive before defecting but she doesn’t rly think about her day when she’s a courser? It’s all just routine & kinda numbing cause she doesn't rly wanna do the job anymore, tho being inexpressive helps her hide it. Once she defects, her inexpressiveness is definitely still there but if she makes friends her legs bounce just a little in excitement being around them & maybe she’ll even smile a little

14. What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed? - wellll she doesn’t really care about the institute at all while she’s there tbh, she’s only there cause it’s where she was made & the only kinda life she’s rly known. I wonder if she’ll get attached to a travelling caravan once her memories are changed, tho keeping her loyalty for too long would be pretty hard if she has options that might be better for her

15. What kind of inner life do they have — rich and imaginative? Calculating and practical? Full of doubts and fears? Does it find any sort of outlet in their lives? - definitely full of doubts at the institute, she’d view herself and other synths as literally just machines like a protectron designed to do a job. (tho at some point she’s forced to kill or nearly kill a synth she was supposed to retrieve, her outlook fuckin shattered when they were scared & felt a lot of pain.) She’s a little more practical & mindful for her own needs once her memories are changed

16. Do they dream? What are those dreams like? - before she defects she probably just doesn’t. But after, Q2 dreams of pies, dogs & cute girls

17. Are they more shaped by nature or nurture — who they are, or what has happened to them? How have these shaped who they’ve become as a person? - uhhh im dumb & cant work out what this means

18. What kind of person could they become in the future? What are some developmental paths that they could take, (best, worst, most likely?) what would cause them to come to pass, and what consequences might they have? What paths would you especially like to see, and why? - worst case scenario is that she doesn’t defect & instead throws herself into her courser work, starting to enjoy hurting people in bringing synths in. She’d probably end up dead if the institute is destroyed or survives & fights one-handed against the railroad. Best case is that she forgets all about the institute, gets a gf & a dog & learns how to cook something edible after like 3 years

CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS.

19. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why? - She never rly likes contributing to a group, even if she knows them well, but knowing them well means she’s more likely to actually listen. She still doesn’t like large groups after defecting but can be around 2-3 people & have decent conversations, tho she shuts down if the group is any larger.

20. What kind of individual relationships do they have with others, and how do they behave in them? How are they different between intimate relationships like friends, family, and lovers versus more impersonal relationships? - like. Rn? In the institute? Fuckin NONE. She’s completely alone. Give her a friend

21. What kind of relationships do they tend to intentionally seek out versus actually cultivate? What kind of social contact do they prefer, and why? - again she. Doesn’t rly. It isn’t that she wouldn’t want a friend it’s just that. If they defect it’s v possible she could be called to retrieve them & it’d hurt her, so she just avoids the premise altogether

22. How do people respond to them, and why might these responses differ? - honestly i. Have no idea lmao

23. How do they respond to difficult social moments? What makes them consider a social situation difficult? - again she. Kinda doesn’t? Most social situations feel the same to her before defecting, tho if it’s particularly long & needs a lot of input from her she’d probably just have a nap right after

24. How do they present themselves socially? What distinguishes their “persona” from their “true self”, and what causes that difference? - Q2- “don’t talk to me” -33 vs Q2- “hold my hand” -33.

25. What do they need and want out of relationships, and how do they go about getting it? - i think, for her, it’d depend on the person she wants to know? Before defecting most relationships she has are just “i need u to do a job” or “what job do i need to do?” but after, she mostly just wants people who’d like. Actually show that they care

26. How do they view and feel about relationships, and how might this manifest in how they handle them, if it does?

ACTIVITIES AND PREFERENCES.

27. What do they strongly like and dislike, in any category? Why? - uHH my brain is blaaaank sorry

28. What are they likely to do if they have the opportunity, resources, and time to accomplish it? Why? - probably just practice cooking. She wants to be able to not rely on someone else to cook for her, or having to spend like 500 caps on one meal

29. What kind of activities, interests, and hobbies do they have? What significance and impact do these have in their lives, both positive and negative? - uHHHHH i never thought of this either oops

30. What is their preferred level of activity and stimulation? How do they cope if they get either too little or too much? - she doesn't mind a lot but if she needs to do something she’d prefer less stuff to do before her goal is completed. If the amount of shit she needs to do exceeds her limit she just powers through it w/ force. She’d stop sneaking around a settlement & instead just force her way through, hurting people if needed

31. Is there anything that counts as a “dealbreaker” for them, positively or negatively? What makes things go smoothly, and what spoils an activity or ruins their day? Why? - honestly like. Not rly? The only real dealbreakers are having to retrieve someone she’d considered a friend, after defecting, doing something that would actively negatively impact or hurt her. Like having to pay a lot & getting nothing back

32. Do they have any “props” that are a significant part of their life, identity, activities, or self-presentation somehow? What are they, how are they used, and why are they so significant? How would these props’ absence impact them, how would they compensate, and why? - uhhh what the fuck does this mean. Is this like an actual object or something she uses to like prop herself up or????

THINKING AND LEARNING.

33. How do they learn about the world–what is their preferred learning style? Hands-on learning with trial and error? Research, reading, and note-taking? Observation or rote memorization? Inductive or deductive reasoning? Seeking patterns and organization? Taking things apart and putting them back together? Creative processing via discussing, writing about, or dramatizing things? - she probably just observes. She’s relatively patient & can observe for a long while if she has to, tho i wonder if institute synths can just have knowledge programmed into them

34. How do they understand the world–what kind of worldview and thought processes do they have? Why? - before defecting she probably just. Doesn’t think of the surface world? To her it’s a ruined irredeemable mess. After defecting she probably still thinks it’s a mess but it’s her mess

35. How and why do they internalize knowledge? What effect has that had on them? - uh

36. How much do they rely on their minds and intellect, versus other approaches like relying on instinct, intuition, faith and spirituality, or emotions? What is their opinion on this? -idk she probably just doesn't think on it unless someone points it out, but i’m she she’d rely more on instinct & intuition, tho she can think on problems when she needs to

37. Have they had any special education or training that colors their means of learning about or understanding the world? Conversely, do they lack some kind of education considered essential in their world? What kind of impact has this addition or lack had on them? - well i’m 100% sure her courser training would affect literally everything about her life lmao

38. Is there anything they wish they could change about their worldview or thought processes? What, and why? - probably not tbh?? Until she defects she doesn’t rly think on it

39. What sort of questions or thoughts recur in their lives, either specifically or as a theme? Why are these never answered, or answered permanently to their satisfaction? - who even knows i haven’t thought of this much detail about her ;-;

40. What do they wonder about? What sparks their curiosity and imagination, and why? How is this expressed, if it is? - she probably just has existential thoughts about whether or not she’s actually like. Alive or not? Her entire life the institute probably just tells her she’s a programmed machine, so she wonders if she’s a machine, what being alive is actually like

FREE FOR ALL.

41. What associations do they bring to mind? Words or phrases, images, metaphors or motifs? Why? - titty

[incendavery]

gosh, thank you! that is so sweet??? I hope you (and any other of my followers who celebrate!) have/had a very happy Eid!💖 💕

on another note, I’ve finally gotten around to cleaning out my askbox! under the cut is almost every ask I’ve gotten that i haven’t answered in the past.... I’m not sure. it’s been a WHILE though.

as a warning, there’s all sorts of stuff, and it’s all untagged! also also, if you sent one of these asks and want me to remove it, just let me know!

yes!! @fuckaspunk IS super sweet and talented and i AM very lucky to have them! and I’ve heard from reliable sources that the feeling is mutual~~💕

i’m glad my comics make you feel less alone; that’s a rough situation you’re in. i really hope you find yourself in a better environment soon!

thank you!!!💕

thank you for understanding! and yes, aidan is a huge help to me??? even when they’re not answering asks, they’re always supporting me in some way, whether that’s making sure I’ve eaten enough, or talking me through my anxiety, or all the other ways they’re there for me every single day💕💕

ok, my tips are!!:

draw as much as possible! even if it’s just lines and shapes with no meaning, you’re still developing your hand/eye skills

BUT: dont draw if you’re not feeling it! if you’re feeling fried, it’s better to take a break. go on a walk to somewhere scenic, read your favorite book, listen to some new music, hang out with friends, or just take a nap! rest up and find some inspiration! you can come back to your sketchbook when you feel energized again

draw stuff that you like! you’ll improve way faster if you’re passionate about what you’re doing

look at art you like with a critical eye. try to examine the different components and figure out what you think works or doesn’t work. try incorporation those components into your own work

read a lot of tutorials and other resources, but take what they say with a grain of salt

ultimately, remember that the only real rule to drawing is that doing it should make you happy

good luck!! i do my best not to pick, but it’s a real struggle; i have lots of scars from it too. ;v; im cheering for you!!!

ALWAYS!!!! if you do, please show me!! my notifications get real busy, but anyone is welcome to IM me any time!

thank you! i actually get very worried about my style; i tend to admire artists with complex linework and delicate shading, so i often feel my style is far to simple! so thank you!!

that is really high praise????? gosh??!?!?!? best of luck with the next three years; i hope you grow to be someone you like even better than me!

thank you!!

peanut time is the best!! i haven’t gotten to do a proper one in a while though ;-; i’ve mostly been feeding the crows on my way back home from night shifts, when i give them the reject eggs from the continental breakfast.

wow, neat!! chickens are so wonderful; i cont wait until i can have some of my own :>

dont be nervous! i know i can be hard to get ahold of over the internet (bc i get overwhelmed easily) and hard to talk with irl (bc i get so nervous and interacting w ppl doesn’t come naturally to me AT ALL) but honestly i?? love making new friends??!

thank you!!? im thankful every day that someone as radient as aidan is in my life for the long haul

thank you!!!!!!!💕

i completely feel that? its ok to hit rough patches! just do your best!!

i dont remember what i felt bad about but THANK YOU💕💕

honestly its done me worlds of good to share my art?? hearing people talk about how they go through all the same shit i do makes me feel so much less alone, especially on the toughest days! so i guess thank you, and thank you?

youre welcome!!!! :>

huh!! i dont know much about shoegaze (other than thinking abt that post abt the guy who pronounced it like fugazi I THINK ABT THAT EVERY TIME) but thats real neat!! im glad youve found something that works for you!!

hey, neat middle name! and youre very welcome; i hope things have been looking up for you since you sent this?💕

i dont remember when this was from but im currently doing really well with my meds!! i switched to a combination of lexapro in the morning and benadryl in the evening, and its been working super well!✨

thank you??!! ;o; i would love to see all your favorite birds!!

hey, right back atcha!!!

:0

ty!!!

hey. thank YOU

you’re absolutely not bothering me! thank you so much!!

!!!!!!!!!!

hey, nice! im glad you like both me and my music!

gosh thanks?!?!

she is the most beautiful and handsome!!!!!!!!!!!! i love her! thank you from both of us!!!!

aw, gosh! im sure i like you too!!

this was from.... A WHILE AGO.... but youre welcome?? i just wish i could have done more

hey, thank you so much!!!!!

thank YOU and a very very belated merry christmas!!!

that does make sense!! reconciling friendships and crushes is tricky business. the best i can say to you is to be as honest and open with each other as you can

i dont personally get those, but ive heard of people experiencing them as a sideeffect when coming off or switching meds

i think these two are part of the same message? but oh man yeah that sucks when ppl are misgendering you AND hitting on you at the same time. on a different note, ive never heard of using a corset to stim before! neat!

i mean, 1. depression doesn’t care if you have a “””good””” reason and 2. ive literally never met anyone w depression (including myself) who thinks that they do have a “””good””” reason for having it. thats the insidious part of depression, is that it makes you think that theres nothing wrong and that its all just you not measuring up in some way

so i guess that would make you.... someone with depression?

real BAD

💕 💖 💞  💓  💗

not yet haha THANK YOU

hey, im glad you like it!! since this blog has gotten so big, its kinda my happy place to be? (for anyone wondering, my reblog blog/personal is @spinels!

that IS a fun fact!! thank you!

it’s absolutely ok! i get a little bitter when people take my work WAY out of context (for example, straight people removing the caption that says “im just really gay” before tagging their bf/gf) but i am 100% ok and happy with people relating to my work in a different way than i intended (ex: a comic i made about being ashamed of my derma getting reblogged by someone struggling to be ok w their visible burn scars)

hoo gosh, thank you!!

glad to have you here!! im glad people can relate to some of the weirdly specific shit i write about tbh???

i’m sorry its taken so long for me to get back to you; that a terrible situation

if you have a teacher you trust, i would absolutely bring it up to them. that is 100% not an ok thing for those kids to be doing. at all.

im glad you at least have your friends that support you! 

:0 WAIT is this someone i know through ucsc?? :0 :0 :0

HA 

aaaa thank you! that is high praise ;v;

i have no words; this is such a touching message. thank you so much ;v;

this is belated but!! the main creative community i can recommend is kzsc, the radio station! i had a real cool time there, and its a great way to make friends and connect with ppl of all sorts! :0

yeah, its totally normal! ive had roommates ive been super tight with, and roommates who i barely ever hung around with. its natural! i doubt you’ll finish college w/o finding a roomie that you get ~The Roomie Experience~ with though, even if its like a housemate or s/t!! ;0

i’ve never been told that, actually! neat!! (and wow?? i cant believe i inspire ppl.... wow......... what a concept tbh??)

oh yikes... i do hope youre feeling better :( im glad my comics can help a little bit at least!

💕 💖 💞  💓  💗!!!

HUGS

oh SHUCKS...,,,,,,,,,, ;v;

hahahaha omg thank u

i dont actually have any more of them interacting, unfortunately! the owl isnt one specific person, like a lot of my characters are meant to represent. the owl more represents as a whole all the people i run into in my life that i am very very gay for.

thank you!!!

3rd-shift-working, depression-having, corvid-loving solidarity fistbumnp!!!!

huh! ive never heard of that; ill check it out maybe!!

hnmngnhng youve probably already made a decision but i just gotta say.........shadow rulez

i had a good (and safe) trip! ty!!!

hey, thank you!!!

oh jeez thats bad :( i think this was in response to when i needed to wait between med refills?

i cant give a precise reason, tbh! when it comes to whats lucky, i just sort of.... go with my gut, ya know?

thank you!! 👍

that sure sounds like insomnia! its almost hard for me to say tbh, bc ive had trouble sleeping for as long as i can remember, so NOT having trouble sleeping is bizarre and unrealistic to me haha... but i think the bottom line is, if its interrupting your daily routine and making it hard for you to have enough energy, then its something you should look into remedies for!

:0 :0 :0

ohhh how nice! ill give it a try! :>

omg,,,, nope, just me!

aaaah, thank you so much!!

almost???

i do!! drunken lullabies is an absolute banger!!!!!!!!!!

i am!!!! thank you!!

aw, ty!!! 💖

hee hee, thank you! 

my biggest tip honestly?? have someone who can be by your side to help you with... basically everything... during your recovery. bc trust me, i was n o t  a v a i l a b l e. i spent a lot of my recovery playing 2048 at the same time as watching tv, bc doing both at once distracted me from how much the bandages itched.

thank you!! (i think this was in reference to getting top surgery!)

how shitty??????? yikes. i hope your supervisor has your back??? bc wow????

hey!!! thank you!!! i draw all my comics traditionally on paper! im not sure what you mean by the writing though? if you mean the word bubbles, i do those by hand on paper too!

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT FEELING,,,, im so happy ppl talk to me, but i get really nervous about saying the wrong thing. 

when i’m down, i usually crave validation. i like being reminded about things ive done right! i also like gentle reality checks, like, ‘hey: this is the situation, this is what we can do about it. ok? ok’

i unfortunately dont have any!! i had a couple at one point, but they’ve since been lost to the depths of my old laptop. and hey, thank you so much!!

now thats a nifty trick!! im terrible at telling all my white tablets from each other lmao

!!!!!!! ITS ME!!!!!!!!

DISCLAIMERSome people have objected to this monthly post for various reasons. So Im starting with this disclaimer. I do this full time. Its technically not beermoney for me. So this is NOT typical of most people. But it does show each month what programs are paying and whats working. And it also shows that those that are unemployed, disabled or have other special circumstances, who may come across this subreddit, that extra money can be made with some time and effort.  February saw a nice uptick especially to Mturk. Ive felt re-energized and my new computer is humming along nicely. SO lets talk about the announcements. Plan on getting a bunch more things up and running this month and see how things go First.. Starting with the March earnings report in April, I will be doing a monthly Live Q&A. Most likely this will be live on twitch and then posted on youtube. But my techguy says its possible to go live on both at the same time. So we will see. I was shooting for this month but all my equipment isnt set up yet, plus my tech guy went and got himself a job which means hes not at my beck and call all the time any more... damn him. 2nd announcement. You know that website I have been talking about. Well we are finally putting a date for launch on it. May 7th, 2019 will see the launch of the website. Im not going into a lot of details right now but as long as everything is looking good next month, Ill announce the name of it and some of what we are looking to do for the benefit of the entire beermoney community. So tune in to next month's earnings report for breaking news! lol 3rd announcement: I also talked last month about bringing back a podcast like show. This is also in the works and should start this month or early next month. But I may now need a video editor thats willing to work cheap or free since my techguy seems to think earning an income is more important than doing all my bidding :) I already have a couple people who have approached me about being a guest on a podcast.. so Im thinking we can make this pretty good. 4th Announcement: Every month I get dozens of PMs asking for the Mturk 101 I mention in the FAQ. Well to be honest a lot of that document is now out of date. So in my free time I plan on updating that this month. New tools and new strategies have come out that should be mentioned along with new resources available. Im hoping to collarborate with someone that is better and much more efficient at turking than I am, a guy who is a tremendous resource of info in the beermoney discord. Hopefulle we can find time to work together to make a document that can really become a gold standard. Im also hoping to do some tutorial videos on some of the scripts once I have all of that up and running Anyway thats it for now. Lots going on that im excited about. I hope everyone has a great March!  ProgramFebJan2019 TotalMturk$950$500$1450Swagbucks1$175$200$375Ebates$74.14---$74.14PhonePayCheck2$70$75$145NorthFork Research$30$10$40EarningStation$25$50$75Perk$25$25$50InstaGC$25$20$45Checkout51$24.50---$24.50SurveySavvy$23---$23ClassAction Suit$16.35---$16.35Testable Minds$8.70$10.30$19Freebird$10---$10Earnhoney$5$5$10Mobile Performance Meter$5$5$10MicrosoftRewards$5$5$10CrossMediaPanel$5$5$10BestMark$3.50---$3.50Shoptracker$3$3$6Slidejoy$2---$2Radial Insight$1.30---$1.30Credit Card Sign up Bonus---$100$100Drop---$50$50Prolific Academic---$38.30$38.50KoinMe---$25$270Volkno---$10$50RadioEarn---$8.308.30Total$1485.19$1145.90$2631.09Ref Earnings$185$200$385Full Total$1671.49$1344.60$3016.09  FOOTNOTES1. Does not count Ref earnings2. Registration is closed for this app3. Does not count Ref EarningsThats my list for Jan. Who paid you for/in last month? FAQI'm in need of extra money. Should I persue doing some of this?Yes and no. There is obviously money to be made. But there are drawbacks. Mturk (there are alternatives but not usually as lucrative) may not accept you (wont accept if outside US), Earnings may be low on programs like EH and other stuff can be a grind. Mobile based earnings means needing devices and takes money and time. Passive earning is starting to show huge signs of decline. I dont want anyone to believe they can sit down tomorrow and be making $1000 next month. I live outside the USA. How can I earn?Unfortunately most of the stuff I do is either USA only or US/UK/CA/AU. So its hard for me to advise whats available to people outside of those areas. If you live outside those 4 countries I really dont have advice for you. And I dont have much advice for even outside the USA. How Much Time do you spend with this?Its Hard to quantify. I am in front of a computer ALOT but its not always focused on making money. I have games I play and have scripts that watch for HITs ON Mturk so if something pops thats good I switch over. Plus Im often doing multiple things at once. That said.. there are people who make more then me with less time. Im actually very inefficient. Will you give me advice or help me get started?Yes but only if you approach it with the mindset that its slow and a grind at times and not get rich quick or at all. How do you make so much on Mturk. Can you give me any hints?I have a Mturk 101 typed up I can send with some tips and tricks. Why dont you get a real job?Health issues.. and I can nap at 1PM.. and I dont have a boss looking over my shoulder... and I can work naked (I dont.. or do I....) You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!All the totals above represent only personal earnings. I seperate out ref earnings. OMG! You must cheat somehow to make so much!I do nothing outside the TOS of any of the programs. I consider this income to be a blessing and wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that. Plus cheating just kills programs and defrauds the companies that are allowing me to make this income. Do you have to pay taxes on all of thisYes on most of it. There are some exceptions but the majority of this income is taxable. Most of these companies dont issue 1099s but that doesnt mean you dont have to pay taxes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions on how to handle taxes on "beermoney" income via /r/beermoney

Week 4 on the Camino

Day 22: I walked like mad today. Anger is a catalyst for change. At least for me and it has been that way my entire life. Probably why I am prone to it. If I am going to walk 2 more weeks, I need to enjoy my time and change my mindset. Sure my body hurts and my feet pretty much hate me. I don’t have anything wrong that keeps me from walking. So that is what I did today. Mad at the world, sick of playing victim so I walked with purpose. Guess what? I caught up to Eric and Ramon even though they started 3 miles ahead at the same time. I had no idea I would see them and I sent them a text saying turn around. It was a beautiful reunion. We met Philipp for lunch and the bond is amazing. Ended up we all stayed together in the same place. Wolfpack is back, at least for today. Ramon is injured from doing such a long distance yesterday. A bothered knee and a fever. He got the job done though and made it. Today after arriving, I forced myself to shower and socialize. Something I have struggled to do because I mostly want to lay in bed and rest. So glad I did. I met 2 lovely Canadian ladies Susan and Ashley- Aunt/ Niece. We got deep into conversations about life, if the world was getting better/worse, the Camino experience and so much more. Everyone joined in at dinner with great insights. Eric is always full of the best. He talked about a metaphor of life being an onion and how these layers are put onto you but his journey has been about finding the core. Today was the first day I truly enjoyed the experience. I am determined to appreciate my time here and today I was on a mission and accomplished that. I think it is true, life is a Camino. I am here to embrace that philosophy. Distance: 16.7 Time: 6 hours Money spent: 30 euro

Day 23: Today I started out thinking I would do a short distance. As I went I thought about things. The symbolic location called Cruz de Ferro where you throw a stone to represent life’s burdens being cast aside. It was a short distance from where I planned to stop. As I walked, I felt it was perfect that 6 years to the date of Sean’s suicide that I go to this place. I told Matty of my plan and he said I should go and that even with the chance of bad weather, that maybe I was meant to struggle. So I communicated this to the wolfpack and I walked on. Even had to change shoes due to the mud and snow. Matty also informed me of his support and that he would let me be but if I should need anything, he would be available. He then told me that he understood that today was my day with Sean. The tears flooded and I walked alone and listened to my playlist of music that reminds me of Sean. When I arrived, I went and sat on the hill of rocks and cried and cried and cried. I cried for myself, for those that I was carrying burdens for, and for the burdens left there from others. Philipp arrived after me and he spent his time then he put his hand on my shoulder in comfort. I pulled him in for an embrace and we sat there crying for awhile. He then asked if I wanted to stay and I did. I had not even thrown my rocks. I had family send me rocks to represent these burdens. Ramon came and hugged me and kissed my head multiple times. I continued sitting there just crying. Eventually after about 20 mins I pulled out the rocks. I examined them and thought about the meanings and relevance. When ready, I started throwing them one by one. I saw Eric off to the side just taking it all in. I finally was down to 2 rocks when I stood up and placed them at the top. These 2 rocks represented strength and deserved the highest point. I then proceeded down the hill of rocks to where Philipp and Ramon were located and we embraced thanking each other for the love, support, and company during the journey. We all took a turn playing a song that meant so much. My song was, I’ll think of You- by We are Messangers. Eric took his turn on the hill and made his way to us. As he approached, I said it is time for a group hug and we all went to him, embraced and cried some more. It was very emotional for all of us in many ways and for different reasons. We left our make and headed off. Shortly after we left, it started to rain and sleet. There was a dog and after the story of the people being bit, I told Ramon to get his stick. He attempted to yell off the dog but it continued to follow. I was freaking out so he called the dog over. It wagged it’s tell and started to cry. I think it too was not enjoying the storm. After about a mile, we came across a shack. We went in for a break from the rain. We were invited in to a place with no electricity or running water. We were offered tea/coffee and cookies. We sat in by the fire and warmed ourselves. One of the guys were Brazilian so Ramon and him had great conversation, or it seemed that way. With water leaking through the roof onto the floor next to me, I couldn’t help but feel blessed. Here these guys had opened the home and taken us in to get out of the cold and rain. Even without speaking the language, the time was magical. We eventually bundled up and headed off in the rain, cold, sleet, snow, and walked. Knowing we had a couple hours of walking left, we embraced ourselves with the reality of the journey. After walking in the horrible weather for 1 1/2 hours, I rounded the road and saw the most beautiful blue skies ahead. It was hope and my face lit up. I stood there in the rain, cold, shaking and tears welled up in my eyes yet again. It was a great view and a symbolic meaning to the day that there was light and hope in the hardest moments. The bad things were left behind and there were blue skies and sunshine ahead. Although we were all walking our own pace, we joined in that moment and finished the walk to the village together. We found a beautiful hostel and topped the evening of with a steak and shrimp meal. The day could not have been more perfect and energizing. So many people reached out to me today. I am truly alive and feel the love and support during this journey. I hope that today you too have a chance to celebrate life. It is due to Sean’s death that April 13th I chose to celebrate life. I am thankful for the opportunity of this journey and the way to self discovery. My heart is full and if you are reading this, know you are loved by me.

Day 24: Today was a standard day. We walked, and walked, and walked or so it felt…. The morning views started out beautiful because we went down the mountain. Since we went so far yesterday, today was a bit hard. My body still hates me. My Achilles loves to give me fits when it gets tired, making it hard to walk. Got the job done though. Philipp and Ramon are with me but Eric went on. Getting closer to the end….. Distance: 19.23 Time: 7.5 Money spent: 42

Day 25: Today I woke up with energy to walk. When I got up around 7 Philipp asked me why I was getting going and told me I should lay down and relax a bit more. I think day by day things are looking up. The weather has been great the last few days too which has helped me in enjoying the walks. After one of our stops, we went the wrong way and had to turn back. Ramon and I ended up not seeing Philipp the rest of the day. He is in the next village over from where we stopped for the night. When we first arrived, the alburgue was so cold. I showered and laid under the blankets for a few hours. Even ended up taking a 1 hour nap. When I woke up, I called a friend from school. That really helped boost my mood and subsided the frustrations I am experiencing in my doctorate program. Ramon and I went to dinner with a Dutch couple. The guy reminds me of my Grandpa Beale. Anyway, uneventful day which right now is the best type. I think we are about a week away from the finish line. As you can see from the photo, we have under 200km to go, if we don’t make the wrong turns of course. PS- due to the snoring I am currently experiencing in the room, I thought I would add that I have learned to embrace ear plugs. They are better than shit sleep due to the snorchestra

Day 26: I conquered the last mountain on this journey today! So the morning started with pancakes with Ramon. First time I have seen this on the Camino. It was a Russian couple who owned the place and the breakfast was perfect for a big day up hill. After this, Ramon went on ahead. I spent the rest of the morning playing leapfrog with some Spanish guys. Eventually, as I walked by them enjoying a beer, they invited me over and bought me a beer. They didn’t speak English and I dont speak Spanish. The experience was worth it even if I didn’t understand. We tried to communicate but the best thing exchanged was the sound of laughter. Just what I needed for the push to the top. Once at the top there was snow! After my last battle with the snow, I got nervous. I am much stronger now and the hike today was amazing on so many levels. I felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride knowing I have made it this far. The path should be easier moving forward and I have some extra time so I plan to slow it down and enjoy the last bit at my pace. I am again on my own as the guys are ahead and since I want to slow down, it is not likely I will catch back up to them. The place I am staying tonight has no restaurant in the village. So, bye bye beans. The story of the beans is I bought them in a week ago. I have tried many times to leave them and the guys would grab them and give them back to me in the next village saying I lost them. The beans are a joke now and I quit leaving them and have been lugging them around. Even brought them up the fricken mountain. Tonight was a perfect time to use the suckers. I will have them again in the AM for breakfast UK style. It is 7:30pm and I am already in bed. Tomorrow will be a short day with great weather. They say there are 3 phases: physical, emotional, and spiritual. I am through the physical and emotional- I think… so we will see what the next week holds. Crossing my fingers that we get to keep the nice weather. Distance: 15.27 miles Time: 6 hours Money: 33 euro

Day 27: I woke up and cooked the left overs of eggs, beans, bread, and cheese. I left a bit later than usual knowing I had a short distance for the day. Still alone as the wolfpack has moved far ahead. I got lost! I was caught up in frustration with Matty since we were texting and I didn’t make a turn. I walked a few miles out of my way due to this mistake. Ugh… so much for a short distance day. I called him up mad that he had distracted me and I got off the path. Blame game. Matty was diagnosed with ADHD recently and I have some resentment and hard feelings about this. I think mostly because I asked him 4 years ago to go see someone and he didn’t. So for 4 years I have blamed myself for some issues in our relationship that I feel would have been smoothed over had he done this. Last year in November he called me while I was on my way to see my family, he was upset and needed me. I told him I can’t. I can’t deal with his needs and mine and told him that he needed to go see someone immediately. He did and this diagnoses is the result. Anger is what I feel about it. Getting lost today was a symbol of how I feel in life sometimes. I was on a path for myself and got easily distracted and got lost. Sometimes I put so much energy into other people, I forget about myself for a bit. Then something happens that makes me realize I have given too much and I get resentful. It is an expectation I have and definitely a huge flaw I deal with because it usually ends in disappointment for me. I set myself up and it is something I am actively working on.

However, I got back on track and found a beer. While sitting there, I saw some people that I had not seen in a few days. One of them got sick after the climb so he caught a taxi. I walked on to the next village and again stopped to enjoy lunch and the views coming down the mountain. I took my time today and even sat on a rock to just take it in. I called Matty later and found I was still really bitter. He had to go to work and I entered the village I would be staying. Upon arrival, I found a beautiful alburgue. I did my usual chores and while doing laundry I met a lady from Colombia. Since I went there in 2013 I was so excited. She offered me their leftovers she had cooked for her and her husband. Along with wine. Bonus! It is this that reminds me and humbles me after a tough emotional day. Put it in the fridge for later. Continued my nice chat with the couple who now live in Switzerland. Then decided to work on school. Had a nice leftover Italian dinner alone. I need the time alone at this point to just sort through all that is going on. Job rejection. Life choices. School frustrations. Aging parents. Anger issues. & Relationship trouble.

I find that the Camino has a way of making sure you are living in the moment. Finding meaning in the challenges and reminding myself about the joy amidst the pain, that is what this is about. One foot in front of another in this path and in life. Great adventures await and I am reminded to embrace and appreciate the journey.

Day 28: First day without the meds. I didn’t have to take anything today for pain which is a first. Unless beer counts? My first dark beer on the Camino though! Today the views and weather were amazing. Even getting some sun and color on my face. My body is functioning. All is good. Still without the wolfpack but I have come to terms with the thought that I won’t see them till the finish line. I found the sticker that said “Don’t mess with Texas”. Philipp sent pics of mess with Texas because someone took the don’t off and put it somewhere else which he also sent a pic of. Matty signed the contract for next year so it is official we will be in Europe another year. We hope to move to Asia next year. 🤞 The Camino will start getting busier because I just passed the town where people can start and still get a certificate. I had dinner with 3 Italians, a German, and a Canadian. We laughed so much. Especially when one of the Italians asked the Canadian if she eats beaver. 🤨 At the end of the night I met a Canadian who was passing through and stopped for dinner. He was a police officer and quit 3 weeks ago and walked the Camino. He had me cut the badge of his pack and he worked for the Royal Police for 30+ years. My grandparents have the best story of when I traveled with them to Canada and was so shy when my granny wanted me to take a pic with them. They loved that story because they had never seen me so shy in my life. The badge means a lot and to cut it off the bag makes it more special. Today was a good day and at the end of the day….
