[bluginkgo]

On today's Ginkgo rambles we have: the teaser, yet again. What? I really liked it.

Spoilers, duh

Instead of dissecting it again, which many smarter people have already done, I kinda wanna ramble about how well the teaser was well... a tease. It's titled The Beginning of the End. A bit cliche, but it works here both in the context of the end of this season, and hopefully the beginning of the second.

The beginning of the end that is called Season 1. And the beginning of the true end, that is the universe of Murder Drones- be it Copper 9 or the actual story.

Not to mention, this beginning of the end theme keeps up in the entire teaser. I guess you can say I'm a sucker for being nostalgic and seeing how far the show has come.

It starts with Uzi's Booting up// Exposition: "We are worker drones." Closely followed by what is happening to her as of Dead End. So much for the innocent worker drones, am I right? "It's not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything, mostly because they handled that just fine all by themselves." At this point, and especially in the teaser, it's heavily implied that maybe the humans didn't actually do that. Sure, they were probably the ones that caused it. But seeing as we get a shot of Tessa closing Nori's room/locker and then the core collapse from the pilot... eh, I don't know about you, but I think she's got something to do with it.

Then, we have N. His cute little introduction and his killings in the pilot, followed by Dead End's scenes. A disassembly drone- a demon that has been depicted so many times by other worker drones, one of THE murder drones of the series, reduced to nothing but a scrap of metal by sentinels. Not to mention the only person from his past, V, also in grave danger. We hear him call out to her just like in Dead End throughout the entire teaser. I also wouldn't be surprised if his last desperate call for V that we hear right before we get the actual scenes for eps 7 and 8, to be used as the trio fall down in the elevator at the beginning of ep 7.

Closely followed by V's first words. "And yet, I still feel nothing." Then we see her sacrifice at Dead End. From a simple and mindless murder machine to a friend and an ally who was willing to give herself up so the rest of the group would be safe. (D*mmit, V, come back queen😭)

Now as for something I don't quite understand/see. So please, feel free to point it out.

BUT WHERE DO PEOLE SEE THAT HER VISOR IS CRACKED? All I see is that her visor must be turned off, because the floor is reflecting in it.

Another thing I kinda wanna touch on briefly, is Uzi's hand.

As many people have already mentioned this, Uzi's hand lights are yellow. Of course, so far, this teaser has been for both episodes 7 and 8. So we can't confidently say what scene is from where. But this constant switching in Uzi's lights might lose its meaning. Of course, these might be the only times that Uzi's lights actually change. But if it isn't... the anxiety and fear that ought to come with seeing Uzi's purple lights turn yellow, might be less severe. Unlike in Dead End, it was both anxiety inducing and cool to see Uzi be posessed by Absolute Solver. Eh, it might be just me, though. Of course, teaser is just that. A tease. So there isn't much to go off of.

You crazy for making it through that entire useless rant. Have a cookie. ^_^

To elaborate: if you are a renter in the US (the system I'm most familiar with), you typically are forced to sign (or agree to orally) a contract with your landlord that can range from a month to several years. Most are about 6 months to a year. The contract agrees that you will pay x amount of money in rent and often penalizes you by having to pay all of the remainder of the contract's rent if you have to leave for whatever reason, say because you can no longer afford it because your family breadwinner died violently in an Amazon warehouse accident.

Now there are supposed to be protections. For starters, the landlord can't kick you, your kids, your pets and your posessions out and change the locks whenever he feels like. Legally speaking. You are also supposed to get paid by the government, your job, maybe life insurance.

Except none of those places want to pay and the process never takes less than 2 weeks. Most take months. IF the website is working, or they get your mail (10+ days from now), or the phone lines don't have wait times so long they just hang up on you. In the mean time, you and your kids and pets are hungry. You can maybe go to a food bank, but if you dont have a car youre walking or taking the bus.

And then there's the lease. There is no provision for if you suddenly lose your job or your spouse. Breaking the lease is often more expensive than staying on it, because of all the associated fees and upfront costs with moving and because you might be on the hook for the remainder of the leases rent.

If the landlord illegally evicts you, this is obviously, well, illegal. But it's very hard to take someone to court when you have just been made homeless, isn't it? Try filing anything if all of your vital documents are in a dumpster somewhere and you're living out of your car or a shelter or your sister's basement. Odds are you might not even win if you did. And then that whole process would be on your record, and good luck getting a new rental then.

But if the landlord decides to take you to court for not paying rent a month ago or 2 weeks ago or a week ago or even 2 days ago (yes in many places that's legal), you will have a court date scheduled for you. It might be when you have a family emergency, or an appointment, or maybe during your jobs hours, or when you have to pick Timmy up from school. Doesn't matter. It can be scheduled as little as 5 days after you hear about it, and 2-3 of those days can be a weekend.

You won't get legal representation. The judge will not have gone to law school, they will have taken (hopefully) a 6 week course in relevant law and handle several hundred cases a day. They will likely know the landlord and may even be very chummy with them. Judgments in the landlords favor are common, even if you show up. If you don't, default judgments are nearly 100% in the landlords favor.

There is an appeal process, but it takes months, and during that time you have to keep paying rent (it's a slightly more complex process but the bottom line is you have to pay the equivalent of rent). If your problem is you can't pay rent, that's obviously an issue. You can apply to certain programs, but that's another multi hour over the course of several weeks process. If you don't appeal, you get maybe 10-30 days to pack up and get out.

I think it's no wonder most people don't show up to court and instead spend that time packing so they have a shot at bringing their valuables intact to a new place or storing them, and then getting the fuck out without complaint. Especially since if they do that, the landlord might pay them to leave, or wave the rent they're still on the hook for.

And that's how, despite the fact that it's not even remotely supposed to work that way, many people in the USA are already living this theoretical nightmare.

What is it like being the 'favourite person' of someone with BPD?

I have remained best friends with and in and out of a relationship with a BPD survivor for about 8 years now. During our two break up periods they have been for about 1-2 years at a time because I didn't want to date until they were ready emotionally to spare myself some heartbreak. BPD runs in their family due to generational trauma among possibly other causes. My partner is on the lower intesity spectrum of BPD.

When we met he was always very charismatic and made friends easily. I'm fairly introverted and shy but I was fascinated by how easily he made friends and as we started talking more we spoke every day. I shared a lot of my most hidden emotional and traumatic secrets with him shortly after meeting him. And then one day I was ghosted for about a month. This made me upset because I had considered him a good friend and had confided in him about feeling rejected by other people in my life at the time. I later found out that it was because he thought that I couldn't be real and that I would ghost him first.

Being the FP can be ecstasy, they only want you and they worship you. They develop the same interests as you and give you all their attention and affection, want all your attention and affection in return. There's really kinky, amazing and posessive sex. This can be an ethereal and deeply emotional experience. It's a complete high. He's been my best friend, soulmate and biggest confidant for years. He always protects me fiercely. He knows every part of me, and can sense when I'm sad even though I'm trying my best to hide it from them. They always know how to comfort and make me feel better. They're extremely empathetic sometimes too much for their own good. We still giggle and laugh with each other like school children. I wouldn't change him or want anyone else. I know they're the one for me.

As we got to know each other better we spoke every day, except for when we had massive fights(which was rare). I'm hard to anger because I try to seek more rational methods to end a disagreement but once I have been its hard to hold my tongue and then once I start telling them how I feel, I have vilified myself in their eyes. They feel as though by voicing how they have hurt me, that I have invalided them which can be difficult when you're dealing with the toxic spectrum of things. You have to hide your true feelings to appease them which can be hard in a relationship because they cannot understand how they have hurt you without feeling rejected, abandoned and unloved. This then turns into a "me me me" situation where now your feelings have been invalided because they are upset and struggling with the rejection that they have felt from hearing that. Because they have felt rejected they sometimes or often say that they hate you and want nothing to do with you, and when you're emotionally exhausted from telling them how much you love them and trying to give them more affection while simultaneously being pushed away, you then become upset and feel rejected so you want some space in return to cool down. They then become extremely clingy because they feel as though you're going to leave them. There's a saying that is often associated with people that have BPD that I think sums it up briefly. "I love you, I hate you, Don't leave me".

Being the favourite person in a relationship with a BPD survivor can be extremely tiring emotionally, mentally and physically. You really need to have an intense mental, emotional and physical fortitude made of steel to be able to handle these severe emotional outbursts.

Especially if they are having severe suicidal thoughts which is common amongst people with BPD. In my case my partner would be in the most extreme and intense emotional distress I hadn't even imagined possible. This was triggered by a string of traumatic events/situations. Due to this intense distress he would go through fast changing periods of loving and hating me, he would pine for my affection sometimes even in a forceful way when I was tired, and push me away as soon as I was ready to give affection. This can be very confusing and hurtful, especially when they don't fully understand how acting this way makes you feel. During extreme depressive and suicidal episodes, I was essentially the only accepted support system my partner would have. My partner would go through extreme emotionally distressed periods where for a few weeks to a month at a time he would not sleep at all, except for 1-2 hours a day/ every second day. I am expected to be awake all the time that they are awake during this period and be ready to give my full attention, comfort, affection and validating advice, as well as problem solve issues for them. And in return all I say is rejected and discarded or not helpful. And it can be so hard getting 1-2 hrs of sleep a day for months in fear that you will lose your favourite person to their own self destruction. Situation like this lasted pretty often for 1-2 years after the string of traumatic events. Therapy sessions would help them but only for an hour. After this they went back to feeling intense emotional pain.

There was a time where I fell asleep for 15 hours out of sheer exhaustion and they had attempted to take their life and almost succeeded to my shock and dismay upon waking up (we do not live together). This was such a traumatic experience for me, and them. I wanted to know why and how much i loved them and they meant to me. But they didn't fully understand and they would disregard or forget what I said shortly after saying it.

(Trigger Warning)

Because I didn't want him or his mother to have to clean the mess from the graphic suicide attempt. I did it myself. It was the most traumatic experience of my life and whenever I laid in his bed I remembered the stains that I could not remove from the matress lying right under me or him hidden just by the sheet over it, and I remember that experience even through good times years later. I even remember the stain I couldn't remove from the wooden floor and have flashbacks every time I see it of the pain of having almost lost him. I can't tell him these things because they trigger the intense feelings of emotional pain he felt during that time. And the guilt he would feel would be too much to bear.

I have developed some memory loss since this happened, and they have noticed. but I can't tell them where it stemmed from because the guilt would be too much for them. They are already concerned about how much my memory has deterioated (I am only 22) unfortunately it seems as though I have difficulty remembering all our new good memories together, I often forget large parts of our most recent memories together from the last year even though I remember the feeling of them, the warmth, fun and love. I wish I could remember them so badly and it's painful. Every now and then especially after the traumatic event happened, I have intense and horrid nightmares of graphic scenes of their suicide attempt, cleaning it, and what would have happened if they had not been brought back to life. My dreams as an artist are intesely real feeling and there have been times when I've seen and experienced disturbing imagery and symbols related to that experience. One time i was in a black room with a coffin in front of me and their body was grey in a suit, and i touched their hand and it was stiff and ice cold, crows swooped me and pecked out their eyes, at their hands and heart. White rose petals turned to red. I remember the colour red of the blood so vividly because it was so crimson purple, unlike any colour I had ever seen. (after their attempt their hands were always cold instead of always warm like they had previously been, and they sweat profusely during sleep) I'm scared I will lose them too young because of the effects the attempt has taken on their body and heart. It's devastating to think I might lose them soon and that I can't even remember our good memories clearly like I remember the traumatic ones.

Loving a person with BPD is a 24/7/365 full time job. It's hard to keep up woth work and studies outside of this. Being a Uni student, I often fall behind on my studies and feel unable to explain to my teachers why I have been doing so since thinking about it causes such distress to me and I feel uncomfortable with them knowing something so personal about me. It's a near impossible situation being the favourite person and nobody can do it without being emotionally unscathed or even destroyed. It takes a very rare kind of perosn to have the strength to deal with it. I'm not sure I do myself honestly but I do my best because I love them and can't see myself apart from them. Being away from them even for a few hours is agony to me.

Its been a few years now since the traumatic experience and our relationship is much stronger and he has been trying to understand me better now that he's recovering from that trauma. We just celebrated our 2 year anniversary back together although we were pretty much always friends with benefits during our break ups because whenever we saw each other we couldn't keep our hands off each other even though we tried very hard to deny those urges. I see ourselves healing together now and can't wait for the many years together to come despite the trauma I still have from our relationship. This is the most intimate and special relationship and friendship I have ever experienced.

Life Experience of Someone With Leo North Node in 8th House - PART 1/2

THE BACKGROUND STORY : Aquarius South Node 2nd House

I was taught to differ and alienate myself from other people since i was young due to my parents' troublesome projection toward me. Especially i have Uranus in my 2nd house so it's a double kill.

I was the ugly kid at the school. Ugly and emotionally unintelligent girl who always like to ruin and wreck other people for the sake of being the different person at all. Not only i have Leo Venus 8H that hit my self esteem so hard, my mother also often tried to differ me to other kids at school by calling me 'smart' rather than 'pretty' girl. It was comforting yet so positive at first, knowing my mom just try to show me that ability and competency speaks more than just a look. I win so many championship by my "smartness". Making a new record and achievement that i often asociate it with posession (this is the hint of me having, Aquarius 2nd South Node. Please do remember that Mercury is exalted in Aquarius so you could relate to this story more).

My mom often encouraged me like, "You look so smart today," as she dress me in the most .... ugh, out of the style way. My friends always commented the dislike on how i styled my appearance like, "Seriously, Ariska? Who dress you a hell like this? Those pants and shirt just makes you weird."

And i often replied, "Of course, My mom."

"Get out that shirt and pants! It irritates my eyes! It's not suitable for a young girl!! You look old and ugly."

It just hurt my pride to be critisized by my own peers by the look. All of my school memory are being classified by just three types memories; the memory of being so called ugly old bitch kid, the memory of hardship and pressure to achieve new, and the memory on how people mocking my competency due to my emotional uninteligent-ness. But i was being taught that i AM different. So even with the pain of pride and the wounded ego (and the broken family bank account), i was going hard headed by my 'posession' as the identity of the smart-indifferent kid. Letting myself alienated and being everybody most hated person in the school because of my lack of emotion and social intelligent.

And you know what happened after school? All of my achievement and competency as a smart kid in the school turned out to be so useless. Suddenly the certificate, the achievement, medals and trophy that i always be proud off then became just a trash. I couldn't make it to university due to financial hardship and inability of gaining scholarahip and just being a regular harsh labour who wake up at 3 AM to work at traditional market, selling rice and sugar.

At that time, knowing my hardwork and my posession are burnt down. I felt so empty, yet destroyed. My sorrow and pain grown so unbearable. I was so depressed until i couldn't handle it but just think of suicide.

I experience the emotional intensity when people start to laugh at my failure. Even some of my teacher at school questioned and mocked my very poor yet so peasant condition while compare me to other alumni that happened to be my classroom mate. They just gone like, "Look at your friend, Kevin. He got full scholarship at top University. You are smart girl and often achieve outstanding achivement in school. How the hell you ended be as poor as like this?"

I didn't reply to my junior high school's teacher at that time. I just giggled. But deep down, i'm broken. It broke me into pieces.

Shame, pain, failure, depression, anger, grief ... Every intense emotional breakdown just made me feel smaller each day. I couldn't go outside much but only for work because i kept crying. Hurt and anger boiled inside me and while i kept asking why such unfortunate event cheat on me like this. It seemed like i am finally nothing but just a failure and shame to society and my school. I went to psychiatrist due to my severe depression and anxiety attack. All i really thought at that time was only a single destroying question, "Why the hell did my hardwork, competency and hardship were being cheated on?"

THE REASON

The emotional breakdown that i've been experienced only let me have no choice to dig deeper. Through Astrology, i knew it was my North Node Leo in 8th House who doing such thing.

First, i would like to dissect you 2nd house - 8th house axis. To simplify the axis, i would like to call it axis of posession. 2nd house represents tangible posession and 8th house represents intangible posession. Tangible posession is not only around material thing like money, car, house, gold or ownership of land. It could be also a skill, a talent and an ability we have been born with. Moreover, the thing that i learnt from understanding this axis is, 2nd house posession is not only provide us the tools and equipment. If there a system, technique, method and ideas that support our mechanical security or the ideas of worldly wealth, it's also 2nd house thing (e.x, think about capitalism system, MLM system, Ponzi scheme, and etc) to give you clarity, look at the sign of your 2nd house. Virgo 2nd house often posseses things around notebook, stationery, debating skill, critical mind or an incredible devoted hard work ethic. While Sagittarius 2nd house might possess family privilege of having noble reputation, the ability to see bigger thing, philosophical mind/book, friends from around the world, higher degree or just simply being financially rich, old money person. For my 2nd house cusp Aquarius, my posession come around book, achievement, trophy, certificate, knowlegde, quirk and weird energy and etc.

There is so much possibility of collected posession you keep accumulating. But the key to understand the whole south node 2nd house is anything that might constantly trapping you to keep posessing and accumulating in any possible circumstances and scenarios (based by your sign) in order to keep you safe, stable and comfortable as a sign of false ideas around security. Cancer South Node in 2nd house might accumulating too much memories from the past or family members who nags a lot in order to keep the native dependant because it feels safe and comfort to being emotionally attached. While Libra South Node 2nd house might struggling by having too much exes and unfullfilling relationship and everything that support the relationship itself.

8th house in astrology is intangible posession. This house often called as the other people's posession or the shared resource house because when you look at that house, you often look with sense of insecurity with a belief that "Damn, i wish i have that thing." and left you with sense of lacking or scarcity of any sign or planet that is in it. For my case, i have Leo 8th House, i often feel jealous on someone who's enjoy their youth and childhood in the most creative and dramatic way. With Venus being there, too. I also often jealous with a girl who simply could do anything by sit still look pretty while there are so much people who adore that thing.

8th House represents the intangible posession because it was a posession that only gained, activated and rewarded by the intimacy union between two people. It's like chemistry; happened and existed by coexistence of two different thing(s) into one bigger, greater and more valuable thing. The chemistry included exchanging value to fulfill each other needs' meet. The process of exchanging value always ends up making both side richer than before. Someone give a person the vegetables, then it comeback as a form of the whole meal. That's why it's also called the house of transformation. Your feeling of lacking and scarcity could be healed by transforming things that you already have, own and posses into brand new things that ends up richer your life in the most intimate- soulful level. Only through exchange and tranformation, we could unlock the highest potential and power of 8th house.

North Node is actually a point to show you where is the transformation happen. But when it's in the 8th house, the transformation become so intense and so consuming until you will feel like there is nothing left more on you. You will feel like dying, burried deep inside the earth. But soon you will realize that you are actually a seed that being planted in the soil in order to grow and bloom into a brand new creature. 8th house north node shows you a transformation that will lead you to enriching and fulfilling life. It just want the best and the best only, so you should aware when things are fake, cheapy, and feel stuck and trapping you into a comfortable life that didn't support your growth, it will be vanished. 8th house. So you should aware that maybe the process will be painful and discouraging, but it's worth the pain and it was truly the gold you will found within.

The key to understand 8th house north node is to understand what kind of exchange and transformation that represented by the sign of it's north node. The exchange and transformation also activated by other people, either their sudden existence or their sudden inexistence which give you an insight to loosen up the tendency to having fear and controlling issue upon things that you really possess. The sign of your north node also might insight you hidden things that you're already desired that makes you feel scared yet passionate at the same time. It's a guilty pleasure, it's an unbearable pain that unfortunately being feels so good when you succesfully look at the bigger lense after the storm is over. Capricorn North Node native might experiences the loss of parent(s) that might lead to the fear and trauma around authority issue while Pisces north node might lost the ability to keep functioning as an adult and being totally dependant, leave them alone with their vulnerability and fear of compassion and spirituality. Finally, the sign of 8th house north node will tell you a breakthrough moment of your life from your past behaviour (from the routine of accumulating, posessing or being stuck and trapped) that will enrich you and transform you into the greater, stronger and better you.

I was reminded of the Asmo scenting chat again and like I said on my original post I imagined MC in demon physical education like. Even if MC is in shape they're having trouble simply by virtue of being a human here. They didn't know they could sweat this much without the heat of the sun. You'd think a place without sun wouldn't have such hot summers considering there was a snowstorm in winter(see: devilgram - What Goes Around Comes Around)! Well you'd think wrong!

They flop down in the grass and they're catching their breath and classmates maybe start hovering around them because. A sweaty human has a strong smell. And this is a powerful human considering all the pacts they have and living with the seven brothers and everything, so whether or not they like them or the program or humans they've gotta admit they respect them. A few may have. . .become a little fond. And may be approaching them and hanging out, chatting with them to enjoy their smell and maybe get some of it on them.

Of course Mammon doesn't handle anyone being near his human well, nor does Belphegor assuming he came to school today(Lucifer wouldn't either but he's in a different class and probably wouldn't be present. . .maybe in the classroom next to the PE area, watching a little jealously.) And of course they swoop in to make sure everyone keeps some distance between them.

And, y'know, to enjoy the human smell too, nice and close up. Tease and poke fun at how tired they are, but Beel brings them water(or idk demonic gatorade equivalent because they need their electrolytes) so they feel a little better. . .and also hangs around. Before they know it the five brothers in their class(as Levi is likely at home) are hovering over them. Maybe touching them a little, especially wherever their sweat's soaked their gym clothes.

Sniffling an awful lot though. Or sniffing? Asmo's keeping a little distance because despite his enjoying the smell Sweat Is Gross and Satan's not quite as close because he's too classy to behave like the rest of these animals, but the other three are all around them. Beel probably even takes a lick of their neck and tells them they taste extra good(Belphie agrees as their special twin connection allows him to experience some of Beel's senses. Score!)

But they can't rub all over them in public so they settle for enjoying their strong smell and Asmo stays close by when gym is over, accompanying them to the showers, offering them all sorts of lovely body washes and deodorants, taking this time to enjoy their smell as well, subtly.

Once they all get home from RAD Mammon makes sure to swipe MC's gym clothes--"I'll get 'em all cleaned up, good as new! A favor from The Great Mammon! We don't need your human smell stinking up the House!"--aaaaaand promptly goes to his room with them instead of actually doing the laundry once they're no longer watching. MC's coveted sweaty clothes are his to smell and rub and everyone'd be super jealous if they found out so he might brag later! But for now, he can barely wait and sits on his stairs rubbing his face in them. The smell of success is sweet and sweaty.

A little while passes and MC realizes, as Lucifer helps them with their Devildom Geography homework, that Mammon didn't tell them he finished the laundry or return the clothes or anything. They don't think much of it, they won't need the gym clothes tomorrow, but when Lucifer asks what's on their mind they let him know Mammon was doing their laundry as of several hours ago.

While they grumble at the impossible geography of literal Hell, Lucifer messages Mammon--in the Demon Brothers(New) chat of course because calling him out where everyone else can shame him is important family bonding time--and brings up the laundry. Asmo asks when Lucifer learned this and he says just then as MC is with him. When they're all confused by this he posts a picture of them doing their homework as proof.

Levi says he thought they were with Mammon since his room smelt so much like them when he passed by and everyone else agreed. . .and made the connection. In case they didn't, Mammon posts a triumphant picture of him with MC's clothes as if they're a trophy and he's won first prize. Of course Mammon gets called gross and shallow like they all wouldn't do the same if it'd occurred to them(Asmo--and Levi, as that's his station--at least admits to being jealous despite that Mammon is doing "something super gross and nasty I'd expect of our gross anime pervert Levi" "Yeah, this really seems like something I'd do--classic anime love interest pining thing lololol kind of a low move Mammon. Wait, Asmo, you didn't have to call me gross when you already said what he did was gross!!") and Mammon doesn't care because he's the one who gets to roll around in MC's scent, not them, they're just jealous! Just tell MC they were ruined and I'll get them a new pair, no big deal!!

Obviously that's not gonna happen, Lucifer is ready to strangle Mammon over this as he tends to be, and he'd tell MC what was going on if he weren't so jealously frustrated by Mammon's behavior that he just said he needed to go take care of him and left the room yelling.

(When MC reads their conversation later with Eye See You or whatever the spying program's name was they're just. Befuddled. Maybe a little flattered. Glad they understand why everyone was sniffing them so much now but still don't quite understand why their scent is so important to them all--because if it's all of them then surely it's not a feelings thing. . .probably. Maybe. Depends on how much they've accepted their demon harem. Inevitably they get new gym clothes and whatever happened to the ones from that particularly hot day of PE they never learned. They hesitate to ask, as well.)

(Knowing how these things usually go, Lucifer probably has them. I'd like to think Levi or Satan snuck in in the chaos and got a hold of them though. That or everyone got in on the posessive squabbling managed to get them torn up and everybody gets a piece. A somewhat happy ending for their feral little demon instincts or something.)

People say that we can't see jealous v now. But in bv 4 when jk and jm were flirting v came , looked at jm directly. Then in festa he tried to change topic when Jikook were telling about their fight. Then in recent photoshoot jm was jumping and jk helped him tae looked a little down. Then when rm and jm were playing and rm tried to pinch jm V became uncomfortable and pushed him a little and then when jm tried to sit on rm shoulder everyone laughed but V didn't looked at them.Whats your opinion?

This is a complicated matter. I have said before in a previous ask that the possibility of them being jealous when each of them is being clingy to other members is very low and I still stick to that. However, for this ask, I'm going to explain two possibilities why Taehyung might be jealous according to you which is; Platonically wise and Romantically wise

Now, honestly in my opinion, Taehyung doesn't have the right to be jealous because he does that with all the other members as well. Unless, probably it's something that they both have to do so it makes him uneasy to see Jimin being all touchy with the other members then I can understand him being 'jealous'

However, putting aside the probability of them being in a relationship, to the outside world, they are considered best friends so Taehyung might actually be posessive of his best friend. Wanting to have his whole attention.

They are both posessive of each other and this is something that they have both acknowledged with phrases like 'Jiminie is mine' 'the money he earns is mine' 'Taehyungie is mine'

Taehyung values Jimin so much, he doesn't mind spending his money on him. He bought him a one thousand dollars unisex Gucci sweater for his 2016 birthday. He used part of the money he earned by himself from filming Hwarang,( not the money he earned with Bts) to buy the piece of clothing for him and when asked why he bought Jimin such an expensive sweater, he just replied that Jimin deserves it.

So, if we look at it platonically wise, he can get jealous as 'the best friend'

But as a romantic partner (shakes head) he doesn't have the right to get jealous which is why I believe them dating is comparably low because they have to be affectionate with other members most of the time and you can't keep apologizing every time you are touchy with other members. Otherwise, it's much better for everyone to be aware of their roles and maintain it.

He might be jealous based on the close relationship he shares with Jimin but when he also does the same with other members, why should he get jealous when Jimin is touchy with others as well?

So there are two possibilities!

First that he's jealous because he's Jimin's closest friend and is very posessive of him.

Second, that he's more than just a friend and he isn't pleased that Jimin is touchy with others.

If the latter is correct, then he would only have to bury the jealousy inside and be understanding especially if in the next minute, he himself would also be clinging to another person.

Personally, it's an unhealthy way to live and will only end up creating distance between the two of them. Jimin is a typical Libra. A naturally free minded person and I don't think being in a relationship where he isn't allowed to be free with other people would make him happy. Instead, it would feel rather stiffling. For someone like Jimin, his partner has to be very understanding of the kind of person he is.

If indeed something is going on between them, then Taehyung has to be very tolerant of Jimin's personality but for how long can a person be understanding? There will come a time when the other party can't handle all the jealousy brewing up inside which could inevitably cause a rift in their relationship.

Which is the reason why if they have feelings for each other, a relationship is not ideal. It would ruin a lot of things because they will both have expectations. For couples, it's normal to feel jealous when their partner is close to other potential admirers so you are expected to keep skin contact with others at the barest minimum. They are also expected to be loyal and faithful. They are expected to create a lot of time to spend with each other but when you are two people from the same group and you are dating, it will be impossible to do all these because the world doesn't revolve around you especially when millions of people are watching every single move you make.

For example, if one member is spending too much time with one person, people will start to complain, criticizing them on why he doesn't hang out with other members.

If one member posts pics with some people in the group and doesn't post pics with others, people will complain.

If one member doesn't congratulate another member or says something good about his members, people will also complain, claiming that there's something wrong somewhere.

So many instances of expectations and with all these expectations, how do you expect such a relationship to survive when people expect so much?

It would be better to be free minded and accept things as they see it instead of having a relationship attachment which will ultimately keep you from doing your job well. This can only happen unless the two have a super understanding.

Jealousy isn't something I can forsee because they both really have no right to be jealous of each other's clinginess to other members especially when they are both doing the same thing. Though Taehyung isn't as clingy to others as he used to be but I know in public he's quite touchy with Jin, Hoseok and Yoongi.

If they are in a relationship (which I don't believe is possible) and Taehyung shows his jealous side, it could be because he has told Jimin he doesn't like him touching other people but how can that be possible for Jimin especially when they are in a group with other members? It wouldn't be possible to do that at all.

It is all of these that makes a relationship in Bts totally unbelievable. If Taehyung is jealous, it would be for his own personal reasons and his protectiveness towards Jimin and definitely not because of the other members when in the next minute he would be placing his hands on Jungkook's laps or squeezing Rm into a koala hug or forcing Yoongi to hug him or wrapping his arms around Jin's waist and looking him deep into his eyes as if he wants to kiss him or rolling his body with Hoseok while placing his hands on his waist.

He really doesn't have the right to get jealous of Jimin's clinginess with others when he also does the same or unless it's just a silly thing they both do to make each other jealous which is really truly silly if you ask me.

So I can't really give a concerate answer to this because there are many possibilities because it's either Vmin is dating or they are not. No one knows the truth so I gave answers based on each possibilities, as platonic friends and as a romantic couple. Either of them could be correct, we don't really know but for me, being jealous of the other members is simply showing a lack of professionalism because they have to get used to it and no one could be a potential admirer but with outsiders, it is a totally different story.

For instance back in 2016/2017, Taehyung seemed to be uncomfortable with Taemin and Jimin's friendship. Taemin is a popular member of SHINee and is personally, one of the most gorgeous people I have ever seen. No kidding! I know a lot of people are going to ask me to show them evidences of these, just check online or search on YouTube and you will know that Taemin and Jimin had a very close relationship. They formed this closeness when they were paired together to dance on stage. I don't know if they are still as close as before but back then, they where. People saw them hanging out with each other a lot in public and even backstage. At a time, some Armies were displeased with their relationship because everyone knows that Taemin is a smoker. He had been smoking since he was very young and because Armies felt he would influence Jimin, they went against the relationship pretty hard.

I guess it was one of the reasons why they limited their interactions in public. Apart from seeing each other during public events, they were never seen together in public again. My thoughts though.

I don't know about you guys but for me, it was pretty obvious Taehyung was not a big fan of their friendship. There was this time when several idols were on stage and Jimin and Taemin were in deep discussion. No one even needed to analyze anything for you to know that Taehyung kept looking at them every five minutes. It was as clear as day. He did not hide the fact that his attention was on the both of them through out the time they were standing on stage.

This is just a little example of the true jealousy I'm talking about. I kept wondering why Taehyung was like that.

Could it be because he was jealous that Taemin was a threat to his relationship/ friendship with Jimin?

Jimin has also acted like this. The most popular instance is his jealousy of Taehyung's Hwarang hyungs. As we can see, these people whom they show these sides to are mostly outsiders.

Anyway, I have said so much and everything is jumbled up. But to summarize, BTS is a family and if Vmin if jealous of each other's clinginess then it's their personal matter and in the end, has nothing to do with the members because at the end of the day, Jungkook is still going to hug Jin and take a picture with his arms around his neck exposing his naked back (cough) Hoseok is still going to tease Jimin as if he wants to kiss him. They are all still going to do these things every single time and it's not going to change which is why I don't look at the so called 'jealousy' between Bts because if you do, you'll simply get confused.

What I'm concerned with most is when outsiders are involved. That's when things to me get very interesting.

Thanks for this ask. Also, I want to use this opportunity to announce to those who have sent me asks that I will eventually answer them. I have been pretty occupied lately and just recently got a break so now, i have some time to rest myself. Thank you all for your patience. I 💜 u

Trad cat mom here! My kid had been having awful nightmares. Waking up soaked in sweat and scared. I pray for him, but so far he still has nightmares. Do you have any tips?

Hi trad cat mom,  (This turned out to be a long, loooong answer!)  I’m sorry hearing about your child. Though to get into it right away: if they are having nightmares for a prolonged and consistent period of time; see a doctor. Or contact them via the phone first; ask their opinion/advice. This- should the nightmares become worse- gives you the advantage of already having notified the assistants and it being written down in your child’s medical file.  Though I do not know your situation, and while nightmares can be fairly common in young kids, I do feel I need to say the above. School or something in the home-life, or even something outside of the home might be a stress factor. Though with our current global pandemic and political climate, I wouldn’t be surprised if that also plays a part. The main thing is, not to make it a taboo (the nightmares).  Also try to- gently -get some info out of your child on what the nightmares are about, if you haven’t done that already that is! It cán happen that sensitive children pick up on things in their dreams/or are seen by things, that scare them. But that is a course of action I’ll get into in a min.   There are several things you can do. First of all; clear and clean out your child’s entire room. Wash their toys, bedding, the bed itself, the curtains, etc. If there is carpet in the room, sprinkle over some blessed salt and then vacuum it up again. Once that is done; light a blessed candle; Pray to Mary, St Michael and St Benedict to cleanse and protect the room.   If the room allows it; change the position of the bed. Or just switch it around. Put fresh bed-linnen on the bed, and a small bowl with blessed salt under the bed (and out of your child’s reach!). If you can get your hands on some charcoal incense burners and frankincense; burn a few kernels of resin and fumigate the door and windows, while praying to Mary and St Michael. If not, wipe (door + windows) down with blessed water (pray over it) while praying to Mary and St Michael. Then; place a small pouch of lavender in any closet there may be in the room, one above the door, and one above the bed. And put up an image of the Virgin Mother above the bed with the lavender (though this is optional). The lavender has to be prayed over- To Mary -for protection against nightmares and peace in the room. (So; Hail Mary, full of Grace. Grant that this holy lavender guards my child from harm in their dreams, guards them against nightmares and monsters, as your blue cloak shields us all from harm. Heavenly Mother, grant this Lavender the Grace your peace, your harmony. A sound and restful sleep with your care. Amen.) This should- to some level -stop or at least significantly lessen the nightmares. Another thing- next to the cleaning I’ve written about above this -is giving your child a handle. A small tuppeware container; fill it with a little (blessed) salt and 5 dried beans. And put a few stickers on for good measure! You could also just buy a small rattle (or make one with your child, as a fun quarantine activity!) and go from there.  The point being; if they get scared- or wake up scared -they can use it to scare off the nightmares. Or use it after their night prayer to pre-scare the nightmares awake. Do make sure that whatever it is, is in their direct reach when they are in bed. There are dozens of anti-nightmare charms (even for kids) to recite while using a rattle. Which can be helpful.  That were the bigger things. And now; a sensitive child. If your child has a psychic sensitivity to things, or is being seen on the other side, this can be quite scary for them. Don’t worry, trad cat mom, this doesn’t mean demons or bad spirits persé. Nor is your child posessed. If just means your child is more sensitive, and needs their parent(s) to look out for them. There are a few things you can do:  - Night time prayer. I assume you already are doing this, praying with your child. But after you’ve finished praying together, whisper-prayer to Mary (a Hail Mary will do fine) while with the thumb of your dominant hand sign a cross over your child’s third eye (area between their eyes, slightly upwards). This is to close their third eye for that night. And give a kiss on top of their head to end the prayer. Kids- especially sensitive kids -do see a lot. And closing that eye for a short period of time brings a kind of peace and calmness. If your child sleeps soundly after this, you’ve got a good 90% chance that they have a fair degree of psychic sensitivity. (another telltale is that often they just ‘know things’)  - Cleansing routine. Now this sounds big, but it really isn’t. If your child takes baths; simply bless the water beforehand. Make up a rhyme; water, water, wash away, all that stuck to me today! And let you and your child have a sing-a-long.  - A necklace. Have them wear a simple necklace with a small cross? Or any pendant they like, really. You can pray over it every night, for protection. Though do clean it once every month. Or when you feel it needs it.  That is all I can think of, while not had my morning tea yet. Good luck mom! And feel free to PM me.  Take care! - Toverij & Spokerij

"The Guardian" + one of his kids. I can't remember any of their URLs but dadtama. Idk what kind of attack. Energy bomb. Go nuts.

ANON || ASK MEME || @nimietied

Saitama was sure that they’d want him to stay out of this fight. He knew himself that he was curious to see how Crona would handle this particular monster -- they’d been a hero for a few weeks now, and their potential was promising. But promising didn’t always mean the battle would work in their favor. In the blink of an eye, it shot up -- towering above the mesiter and the city, feeling impossibly large. Well, it WAS a Dragon level threat, but; he was almost certain they could handle it.  And as it turned out, this so happened to be one of the ones falling short from their favor; Crona almost had it down for the count. With a quick flash of the demon sword in their hand now covered with monster guts, it’d slammed right back onto the ground. Saitama felt a strange feeling bubbling up in his chest -- he felt so... proud. As he waved and hollered, Crona blushed, toying with a strand of their hair and shyly accepting the praise with a small smile, Saitama froze. ‘ Why.. is that monster glowing? And is it just me, or does that look like... ‘ Saitama’s eyes widened.  “Oi, Crona! It’s gonna explode --” And right as he’d said that, his breath hitched; it felt like time skidded to a near complete halt. Crona’s shocked response fell on deaf ears as Saitama all but flung himself at the teen, gripping onto them just in the nick of time as the last-ditch effort bomb from the monster exploded. The roar was deafening and rubble was fiercely pelting his back, but Saitama made sure to shield as much as they could of the meister in his grip. Not that the rubble hitting him made much of an impact when it hit him, but with the speeds it was flying at he was almost certain it would have brutally injured Crona in some way. The impact had already toppled several buildings and decimated many more, but there was one just above them thats foundations started to crack.  Of course, it fell directly on top of the two. Saitama would have simply caught it and held it away from them, but there was still rubble flying everywhere, so he couldn’t really risk it. The heat licked at their backs and Saitama’s pretty sure part of his outfit caught on fire, but it would be out soon enough -- this fabric didn’t really burn all that well, but an explosion of this magnitude would certainly toast his outfit a bit. ( and somewhere, in the very back of his mind, he noted that this must be happening much faster than it felt. at least, for Crona anyways; but to him, this all felt so agonizingly slow. it was the curse of posessing super speed, he supposed. ) Thank God that Saitama was huddled over them; the building, when it made contact with the floor, simply broke around the caped baldy, doing little to no damage if any. Most days, he’d hardly call his super strength a blessing, but today he was forever grateful for it. He probably wouldn’t be able to pinpoint what he was feeling or even acknowledge it, but it was certainly a bit of anxiety. The kind he’d had when Genos would go off alone or he’d seen Genos wrecked so horribly -- he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if Crona got hurt simply because he didn’t step in. Let alone the fact that Crona was a child who was just learning how to get out of their shell, and to cut it short would be so.. tragic. Especially because they were his kid now, and were going to be for as long as he lived. It was a solid thirty seconds more before he let go of them, standing up and dusting off his now dirt-and-gravel caked clothing, his cape resting over their heads. Moving the now tattered material from over top of them, he dusted himself off to his best ability, then rolled his head to crack it a little. “...Geez, what a jerk. I just cleaned this suit.” After taking a moment to collect himself and his slightly-frayed nerves, he offered his hand out to assist the meister in standing again. ( even though they were shaking kinda like a newborn foal, he’d mused ). He gave the tiniest of smiles -- one filled with relief, no doubt, but also to disarm the tense air around them in the now desecrated building.  “Maybe we should be more careful in picking your battles so that doesn’t happen again.”

Roleplay Server Log #316

“Azrael, Slenderman and the Birthday Pot”

-There's the faintest bit of rustling near the coop on Dawn's island-

[Samedi] Is startled and hops around in annoyance-

[Dawn] Is sitting on the porch taking quietly with Azrael-

[Sally] Peeks out through the bushes and giggles- Hi birdie

[Samedi] silent clucks-

[Azrael] I THINK WE HAVE COMPANY...

[Dawn] Hmm?

[Sally] Comes out, trying to pet Samedi-

[Samedi] Is walking away just quickly enough to not be caught.

[Dawn] Sally?

[Sally] - Huh?  Oh!  Hi!

[Dawn] Is Splender around as well?

[Sally] Shakes her head- No, Papa brought me

[Dawn] Wait... papa...?

[Azrael] SLENDERMAN.

[Dawn] Small shudder-

[Sally] - Uh huh!  We came to get his birthday present, but he said he'd stay down on the beach

[Dawn] Oh, the pot? Sure, it's all done. I'll get it. - She hops up to go  into the small  building by the house. It's quiet and some of the more freshly fired pieces are plinking merrily as the glaze crazes and settles.

[Sally] Looks at Azrael curiously- Are you Mort's papa?

[Azrael] STEPFATHER OF A SORT.

[Sally] - Oh...  Have you pet the pretty black birdie?  I got to last time I was here

[Samedi] Has calmed down and sits in the dirt, ruffling his feathers-

[Azrael] NO, BUT HE IS LOVELY. VERY LIVELY.

[Sally] - Yeah!  We can't keep pets other than Smile and Grinny at home

[Azrael] AH, I UNDERSTAND YOUR HOUSE IS RATHER... CHAOTIC. KEEPING ANIMALS WOULD SEEM A DIFFICULT PROPOSITION. I'M raTher FOnd of cAts.

[Sally] Tilts her head at the change in his voice- Are you okay?

[Azrael] little cough- RATHER THE OPPOSITE. A FEW CRUMBS OF FREE WILL TO ALLOW FOR MORE PREFERENCES AND CHOICES THEN YOUR AVERAGE ANGEL. A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM MY DAUGHTER.

[Sally] Frowns a little- I don't get it

[Azrael] ANGELS DON'T HAVE FREE WILL. WE ARE BOUND TO OUR TASKS.

[Dawn] Comes back with the pot and a bag full of paper- He makes it sound worse then it is Sally... getting to live virtually forever is quite convenient for someone who enjoys books as much as he does.

[Sally] - Oh, okay...  Can I pet the birdie again?

[Dawn] Don't you want to see your pot? - kneels and holds it out for her-

[Sally] Shuffles over to look at it-

-The pot is now hardened and has a pink glaze covering it.  The shell presses are a bit difficult to see in places but for a child's project it's fairly decent-

[Dawn] It came out a really pretty color-

[Sally] - Yeah!

[Slender] Has moved a bit closer from the beach, wondering what could be taking Sally so long-

[Azrael] Looks up, -  I THINK YOUR GUARDIAN IS FEELING IMPATIENT.

[Dawn] Sally? Are you feeling better since we blessed you?

[Sally] - Yeah, I still bleed sometimes though when I'm sad

[Dawn] Well you're still a creepypasta.

[Azrael] BLESSED BY DEATH WITH JUST A TOUCH OF DIGITAL. A LUCKY GHOST.

[Sally] - Papa's been really busy lately and with Splendy gone there aren't many people for me to play with lately

[Dawn] I thought you were free to come and go on the server? Doc said they had a whole village of children and several young dragons.

[Sally] - I can't make openings to get there.  I have to go with Splendy or one of the digital pasta's

[Dawn] But aren't you partly digital? I remember Doc consulting me on the code chicken they used to stabalize you.

[Sally] Shrugs-

[Dawn] I think you just need lessons kiddo. - she taps her chin theatrically- I think you should ask Cp. He seems to be the expert.

[Azrael] THE LARGE VIOLENT HEROBRINE?

[Dawn] I've heard he's actually quite good with children.

[Azrael] -raised eyeridges-

[Sally] - He's fun!

[Slender] Comes into sight- Sally

[Sally] Turns quickly, a large grin appearing on her face- Papa!- She runs over and hugs his legs

[Azreal] Fluffy his wings a little but doesn't get up- SLENDER.

[Dawn] Remembered that the pot was for him and quickly bagged it.

[Slender] - Hello old friend

[Sally] - Papa up!

[Slender] Reaches down with his tendrils to lift Sally up into his arms-

[Azrael] HOW FARES YOUR HOUSEHOLD? THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MAKING AS MUCH WORK FOR ME OF LATE. - there's just the smallest hint of a smile. He doesn't mind a little boredom.

[Dawn] Sits back down, but it's clear she's staying close to Azrael-

[Slender] - Quieter than I'm used too, oddly Locklear has been spending a fair amount of time in Sweden and EJ is still adjusting to his new diet

[Sally] Plays with the tip of one of Slender's tendrils-

[Dawn] Sweden? Isn't that where Markus is from?

[Slender] - I'm not sure who that is

[Azrael] HE IS ONE WHO SLIPPED OUT OF MY FINGERS BY THE WIDTH OF A HAIR. HE HAS ALSO ADOPTED SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU...

[Dawn] You haven't met Notch?

[Slender] - Ah, that name I have heard, isn't that the one CP has been wanting to kill?

[Sally] - Papa, I want Mr. Charlie

[Slender] Reaches inside of his jacket and pulls out Sally's teddy bear-

[Azrael] THAT CERTAINLY IS AN ELDRICH LITTLE BEAR YOU HAVE.

[Dawn] Oh, no no, the one Cp hates is an AI. This one is a real person who's now digital. He's stepped right into the role of dad for Cp and his little brother Stevie. From what I've seen he's got at least 90% of what he needs to handle the job.

[Slender] - I see, I had not been informed of that

[Sally] - What's Eldrich?- She hugs Mr. Charlie close to herself

[Azrael] FILLED WITH DARK ENERGIES. YOUR TOY IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A TOTEM IN AN OF ITSELF. I THINK IT'S BEEN SOAKED IN BLOOD MANY MANY TIMES.

[Dawn] I think it's good for both of them. Especially since Markus's new powers curb Cp's pretty nicely.

[Sally] - Mr. Charlie usually comes on my hunts and everywhere else!

[Slender] - Somebody who can curb his powers is impressive enough

[Azrael] WELL IF YOU EVER WISH HIM TO BECOME SOMETHING MORE, It WouLd BE tHE wORk OF MomenTS TO waKE Him.

[Dawn] He's got a voice of command. He's the only other person I've ever met to have one.

[Slender] - Interesting

[Sally] - But he is awake!  He wakes up when I do and then we go to bed at night!

[Dawn] Shoots Azrael a look - He means like a tulpa, something that's... more.. well responsive? - She's flicking her eyes between Azreal and Slenders nearly equally impassive faces. It's obvious she's not good with kid logic.

[Slender] - Think of it like when CP makes his wither bigger, it's harmless when small, but can become very big and powerful for moments at a time when needed

[Sally] - Oh

[Dawn] Yes! I mean, yes. Like that.

[Azrael] AND PROBABLY MUCH LESS TROUBLESOME THEN THE THINGS YOU KNOW WHO MADE- It's obvious he's poking fun at Dawn-

[Dawn] Groans- Can we not?

[Sally] - Made what?

[Azrael] SHUFFLING BURLAP MONSTERS WITH RED EYES AND SCRAPS OF HUMAN SOULS INSIDE.

[Slender] This absolutely catches his interest- I've met one of those

[Azrael] HAVE YOU NOW? WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MOST WOULD RUN OUT OF ENERGY EVENTUALLY-

[Dawn] What?

[Slender] - I gave this one some energy so I could investigate it, plus it seemed willing to kill.  However it did leave the manor in search of revenge, and took something with it

[Dawn] Oh great.... Well at least she'll be hard to find. It's rather important to us that she stay alive.

[Slender] - Who are you referring to?

[Azrael] A DOCTOR WHO HAD A BRUSH WITH ME. SHE STOLE ONE OF MY FEATHERS AND USED IT TO MAKE SOMETHING... INDESTRUCTABLE... TO EXTEND HER OWN LIFE.

[Dawn] Karla is a human predator, that's what she is.

[Sally] - Papa!  I want down now please

[Slender] Puts Sally down with a smooth motion of his tendrils-

[Slender] - This woman, do you have any idea where she might be? The creation of hers which I encountered has... Gained something which might prove difficult for her to handle

[Sally] Has gotten close to Samedi and is petting him-

[Dawn] Looks at Azrael, confident that he could find anyone anywhere.

[Azrael] IF YOU CAN FIND MY ENERGY, YOU CAN FIND THE... THING SHE'S GUARDING JUST AS EASILY. YOU MAY FIND HER AN ALY ACTUALLY, THOUGH NOT RECEPTIVE AT ALL TO ANY DIRECT POSESSION.

[Dawn] Mutters - If we didn't need her, and if not for Ever...

[Sally] Tries picking Samedi up by the wings-

[Slender] - An interesting prospect, I'll have to see what I can do

[Samedi] Would make noise if he could and flops around-

[Dawn] Sally be careful! If you want to pick him up, hands under the belly.

[Azrael] jUST RemEMBER sHe is UsefuL To ME.

[Slender] Yes yes, but you also know how irritated She has been lately

[Azrael]  I SUPPOSE SHE'LL HAVE TO CONTENT HERSELF WITH DRIVING MORE HUMANS INTO MY TENDER EMBRACES?

[Slender] Would roll his eyes if he could-

[Sally] Is awkwardly holding Samedi, trying to hold Mr. Charlie with her arm-

[Azrael] smiles lightly- BUSY BUSY BUSY. BUT AT LEAST NOT PLAYING CAT AND MOUSE WITH ELDRICH HORRORS. THINGS CAN ALWAYS BE MORE IRRITATING THEN THEY ARE.

[Dawn] Gets up and gently corrects Sally's hold-

[Slender] - You have not spent much time with Teenagers, have you?

[Sally] - He's so soft

[Azrael] Points at Dawn - ONLY CHILD. PLUS THE SON IN LAW, OF SORTS.

[Dawn] Wry look- He's terrified of you. It's not like he's much trouble father.

[Azrael] Little hollow laugh-

[Dawn] At Sally- He is mostly fluff-

[Slender] Gives a mental burst of some of the more tame hijinks-

[Azrael] Gives a genuine laugh- YOU ARE RUNNING A CROSS BETWEEN AN ORPHANAGE AND AN ASYLUM AREN'T YOU?

[Slender] - Now consider that daily, it's no wonder She thrives there

[Azrael] ALL CHILDREN HAVE A TOUCH OF MADNESS...

[Dawn] Good thing I was already a teenager huh?

[Azrael] YOU'VE HAD YOUR MOMENTS. SCARED ME NEARLY TO ME A FEW TIMES. TAKING CHANCES AND WANTING TO SEE. FOR ALL THE TIMES I'VE TAKEN YOU FROM THE BRINK OF A DISASTER....

[Dawn] Chastened look-

[Slender] - Yes well my time is running short and you may have work soon

[Azrael] SHALL I NOW? -wryly- TAKING THE CHILDREN ON A FIELD TRIP? OR... OUT TO LUNCH?

[Slender] - There's a new entity, gathering those of insanity but not using them.  Zalgo doubts that they are letting them keep their humanity as he and I do

[Azrael] THAT'S A BIT TROUBLING... INSANITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE RARE. IT KEEPS THINGS IN BALANCE. THE PREY SHOULD ALWAYS GREATLY OUTNUMBER THE PREDATORS.

[Slender] - Yes but she's lost a good handful to the Doctor

[Dawn] But Doc is trying to help them. I know their methods are a bit odd, but they mean well.

[Slender] - True, but it upsets her, and she's gotten more picky about who she infect, she's infecting those she's more likely to get use out of

[Azrael] THEN I WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS. IN THE EVENT THAT SHE MUST BE REMINDED OF HER PLACE.

[Dawn] It's still not right... posession is a terrible thing.

[Slender] - I would not consider it a full possession

[Dawn] If they're not being allowed even a semblance of humanity I certainly would!

[Slender] - The loss of humanity is usually decided by who takes them in.  I let them keep as much of it as they desire.  Some willingly give up all semblance of humanity, and those are the feral pasta's

[Dawn] Then if they choose to give it up, that should be allowed as well.

[Azrael] speaks in almost a normal voice - Even I haVe Come to underSTand the Value of frEE wilL.

[Sally] Goes up to Dawn- Where's Mort?

[Dawn] On the boat last I checked. He said there was a rip in the sail and went to patch it.

[Sally] - I don't know where that is...

[Slender] - Sally we'll be leaving soon anyhow

[Sally] - But I don't wanna go!

[Dawn] It's a hike up a sheer cliff anyway.

[Sally] Gets huffy and runs off towards the pottery shack, dropping Mr. Charlie accidentally along the way-

[Samedi] Flails around in her arms-

[Dawn] Sally! Be careful-

-The girl bumps a table and a large bowl falls onto the soft sand with fump-

[Dawn] Picks it up carefully- You almost broke this. Deerheart would have been really sad- The bowl is a bit cruder then the other things on the shelves, but the body glaze is a vivid golden yellow with little purple dribbles on the lip.

[Slender] Sighs and picks up Sally's teddy, brushing the dust off of him- Sally you know better than this

[Sally] - Deerheart?

[Azrael] Glides silently after them and stands there watching with a chuckle- KIDS...

[Dawn] Yeah. Doc's mate. Lady with the green hair and antlers? She made this.

[Sally] - I know her!

[Slender] Stands near Azrael-  I thought she was digital?

[Dawn] She was. Doc's been busy. Cp let hir loose from the digital realm and now xe's doing the same for anyone else who wants out. Two of the server spirits have already acclimated.

[Slender] - So long as they are well aware of what dangers there are specifically to them

[Dawn] From what I've heard they've been really careful. I think it's just a matter of having an extra bolt hole if they're in danger.

[Slender] - I see

[Sally] Is still a bit huffy-

[Dawn] Folds her arms- I think you play your cards right and you'll have more allies then you did before.

[Azrael] Angles one of his large wings out and tickles Sally with the tip of a feather-

[Sally] Giggles a little-

[Samedi] Annoyed wiggles-

[Dawn] Is somewhat baiting Slender into a staring contest. She's a bit bolder with Azrael there-

[Slender] Not breaking eye contact- Sally, put the rooster down, we need to get going

[Sally] - But Papa

[Dawn] Just smiles a little, there's a bit of black showing at the corners of her eyes-

[Sally] Puts Samedi down- Oh no!  Where's Mr. Charlie!?

[Azrael] Points to Slender's tentacles-

[Samedi] Makes a break for it-

[Sally] Hurries over- Mr. Charlie!

[Slender] Hands her the toy-

[Dawn] Well?

[Azrael] Oh STOP THAt. -

[Sally] - Papa, can we goplay?

[Slender] - I'm sorry Sally, but I still have work to do

[Azrael] HAHA, KEEP ME INFORMED SLENDERMAN, IF IT ISN'T TOO MUCH TROUBLE.

[Dawn] Grins- Did you like the tie at least?

[Slender] Narrows eye area at Dawn with a warning staticky growl-

[Dawn] Innocent- What? I thought it looked nice?

[Azrael] small groan like a creaking door - FORGIVE HER, SHE SUFFERS FROM A DEPLORABLE EXCESS OF PERSONALITY.

[Sally] Reaches for Slender's hand and takes it-

[Slender] - I will speak with you later Azrael

[Sally] - But Papa I wanna play! [Slender] Slight sigh- I'm guessing you mean not with anybody currently at the manor, very well, would you like me to see if one of the digital pastas can come retrieve you? [Sally] - Yes! [Slender] Sends a message to Masky to see if any of the digital pastas can come and take Sally- Hmmm, it would seem most of them are currently busy, but Herobrine did respond that his wife could possibly come pick you up for the time being... [Sally] - She's pretty...

[Dawn] Arily- You can use the tv on the shore if you want. Our friends know this place pretty well. And the beach is lovely any time of day.

[Slender] Sends of another burst towards his proxies- Herobrines wife should be here soon then

[Sally] - Yay!

[Slender] - You'll be good, correct?

[Sally] - Of course Papa!

[Dawn] Don't forget your bag Sally. - points to it sitting near the steps.

[Sally] - Oh yeah!- She starts heading towards it

-There's a rustling in the bushes as a massive blur rushes towards Sally-

[Sally] Shrieks as she's bowled over and then starts laughing-

[Smile] Is very happily standing over Sally, licking her face and arms-

[Lie] - Smile come back!

[Dawn] That is a gigantic dog.

[Lie] Comes into sight- Sorry Dawn, he decided to run through the portal ahead of me

[Slender] - Smile!

[Smile] Catches the tone of Slender's voice and backs off a little before sitting, his human grin broad as he looks around

[Sally] Is still laying on the ground giggling-

[Azrael] Turns towards Lie- AH. ANOTHER WHO CAME CLOSE BUT SLIPPED AWAY MORE THEN ONCE. -He goes to say her real name and then stops himself- LIE.

[Dawn] Playfully- Hey Lie. It's apparently dad day around here. Did you bring Markus?

[Lie] - No...  He's off mining...  Fuck Smile is fast...  And you are?

[Azrael] eyebrow- THE GRIM REAPER BY TRADE, BUT AZRAEL IS MORE RESPECTFUL.

[Lie] - Oh...- She's a little nervous now

[Smile] Goes sniffing around and finds a log which he then proceeds to drag into the clearing-

[Azrael] GOOD DOG.

[Dawn] It's okay Lie, he's just married to his job.

[Azrael] I BEAR NO ILL WILL TO THE ONES THAT GET AWAY INTIALLY, IT MAKES THE JOB MORE... INTERESTING.

[Lie] - I see

[Smile] Turns quickly and almost hits Slender with the log, knly to have it be stopped by his tendrils

[Slender] - That's enough Smile

[Azrael]  wryly - HOW FARES OUR SEMI-FEATHERED MUTUAL FRIEND?

[Lie] - Well he scared the shit out of me when he woke us up leading something away

[Azrael] THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE HASN'T BEEN AROUND MUCH. HE'S WATCHING OVER YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.

[Lie] - Yeah, I'm just glad he's on our side...

[Azrael] HE IS ON NO ONES SIDE BUT HIS OWN. BUT HE DOES GET ATTACHTED TO PEOPLE HE OWES...

[Dawn] Well- coughs- Doc told me you had some luck draining Cp so he wouldn't freak out. Can I see the new flower?

[Lie] - Yeah, sure- She spawns the vampiric bloom

[Slender] Is watching Sally climb on Smile-

[Dawn] Wow... that feels... weirdly familiar?

[Azrael] Picks up the bloom in his long, skeletal fingers and cradles it gingerly. Suddenly he makes a strange face. - YOU MIXED YOUR ENERGIES WITH HERS? IT IS A BRILLIANT PIECE OF WORK, BUT STILL... BE CAREFUL.

[Dawn] Wait.... you? Oh geeze... if she didn't rape you or worse you got lucky.

[Lie] - I mean, it's not the only plant she's helped me with...  Plus she's cautious of CP

[Slender] Is curious about who they are referring to-

[Azrael] AS SHE SHOULD BE, THEY ARE BOTH ARCETECTS OF DEATH AND SUFFERING IN THEIR OWN WAYS.

[Dawn] snorts- I'm sure they could have a very interesting shop talk session.

[Slender] - I must ask, is this the woman you were telling me of earlier?

[Azrael]  YES. THE BLACK SUN. DR. EMMERICH.

[Dawn] It's the closest I've ever been to encountering an succubus.

[Lie] Briefly her mind flashes back to the last time she was over there-

[Slender] - My brother probably has her beat

[Azrael] CONSIDERING THAT YOUR BROTHER CAN SHAPESHIFT, YES. MOST LIKELY. BUT SHE ALSO HAS EVERY HORROR AND PERVERSION THE INTERNET CAN INSPIRE OR PROVIDE FOR AT HER BLOODSTAINED FINGERTIPS-

[Slender] - This is true, let us hope the two rarely if ever meet

[Dawn] Yeah... that would be bad..

[Sally] Is hanging onto Smile as the dog runs around the clearing-

[Lie] Is a bright red and staying silent-

[Azrael]  gestures to the flower- MAy I?

[Lie] - Uh, sure

[Azrael] Tucks it into a pocket that wasn't visible until he opened it on the outside of his robe. It peeks out of the pocket with it's own quiet menace.

[Slender] Glances at the position of the sun- I really need to be going, are you certain you are alright with taking Sally?

[Lie] - Yeah, she can come hang out with us for a bit

[Sally] - Wait!  Papa, you have to take your gift!

[Slender] - Well then bring it here

[Sally] Slides down off of Smile and grabs the bag, bringing it opver to Slender who takes it-  Here you go Papa!  happy birthday

[Slender] Ruffles Sally's hair a little before pocketing the gift- I'll open it when you come home, alright?

[Dawn] Oh! Lie can you give something to Deerheart for me? Mort fired the bowl she made. - She goes to fetch it from the table and holds it out to her-

[Lie] - Oh, yeah, I can do that.  I've got a couple of errands to run first out here though

[Sally] Yes Papa!

[Slender] - Azrael, I assume I'll see you relatively soon?

[Azrael] MOST LIKELY....

[Slender] Nods and then teleports off to where he needs to be-

[Lie] Visibly relaxes some-

[Azrael] Ruffles his wings a bit- DeMONs... So DRAmatiC.

[Dawn] Chuckles-

[Lie] - Honestly, the less I have to deal with him the better...

[Smile] Goes to sniff Azrael-

[Azrael] Puts a gentle finger on Smiles forehead and moves him back - HE'S RATHER... OLD FASHIONED. -ghost of a wink

[Lie] - And terrifying

[Sally] Goes to climb onto Smile again-

[Azrael] I WAS ABOUT TO DISCUSS YOUR RECENT HIJINKS WITH DAWN. IT'S FORTUNATE I WAITED.

[Dawn] What do you mean?

[Azrael] I DO NOT LIKE HIM READING YOUR MIND. - turns to Lie- IT Was... AMuSinG ESCORTING YOUR MOST RECENT KILL INTO TOTAL OBLIVION. WELL DONE.

[Lie] - Ah, you mean...

[Azrael] Oh yES, THe LitTLE HarveStmAN. HIs FURy bEfore BEing SnUFFed lIKe A CaNDLE bY The ReAl THIng WaS MOSt AmUsING. HiS VIctIMs WeRe Also GivEN A ChanCe To AssiST. YoU CAn thaNK MY DaughtER For That BiT Of Cruel JustiCe.  

[Dawn] You mean? He's gone?! Good job!

[Lie] - Yeah, I mean, limbs and such were lost to his sword, we might have completely lost Stevie if CP hadn't been thinking so quickly...  And Dawns curse did make it harder for him to kill others until we got to him

[Azrael]  AH NOT THAT. THOUGH THAT WAS HELPFUL. - his skeletal grin seems to fill her vision for a moment. - WITHOUT HER PIECE OF FREE WILL I COULDN'T HAVE PULLED SUCH A PETTY STUNT TO SEE JUSTICE DONE PROPERLY.

[Dawn] Blushes-

[Lie] - What...  Exactly did you do?

[Azrael] I LET HIS VICTIMS RETURN FOR A MOMENT TO HELP TEAR WHAT SCRAPS OF SOUL HE DID POSESS APART.

[Lie] - Oh, I'm guessing that was after my husband punched his head off?

[Dawn] Now that's a haymaker-

[Azrael] OH YES. I WOULDN'T DREAM OF RUINING YOUR FUN.

[Lie] - Okay then.

[Smile] Suddenly takes interest in a scent coming from the jungle-

[Dawn] Makes a very 'OMG dad stop' face where only Lie can see it.-

[Lie] Tries to bite back a laugh-

[Sally] - Smile what is it?

[Smile] Starts growling-

[Dawn] You might not want to let him run in there....

[Lie] - Smile?  Come here boy

[Smile] Continues to growl-

[Sally] Gets off of Smile and runs over to Lie-

[Azrael] musing- I ThiNK I'M A BiT GraTeFul fOR Your ActiONS In GeNERAl. Be AT EASE.

[Dawn] Yeah. Crazy creepypastas make a lot of extra work. Keeping them busy is useful.

[Lie] - Yeah, a lot of them have calmed down since coming to the server

[Dawn] And I'm betting battling Harvestman wore everyone out...

[Lie] - You have no idea, CP and I haven't even had celebratory sex yet, plus he's currently busy teaching his brother how to use his new powers

[Azrael] THAT WAS CLOSE, AN AMPUTATIONS WIDTH FROM LOSING IT ALL.

[Dawn] Oh man...  new powers? Is Stevie a Herobrine now too?

[Lie] - No, he's not a brine, and he's gained ice powers so it makes sense for CP to teach him since he won't get frozen over

[Azrael] AND THE BROTHERS UNITE AGAIN.

[Dawn] That's good news actually.

[Lie] - Yeah, it's been a long journey for them both

[Dawn] So.... will you be bringing Stevie irl then?

[Lie] - I...  I don't know...

[Dawn] Kinda hard to have family outings otherwise.

[Azrael] Oh HUsH

[Lie] - I'm pretty sure that might turn Stevie's girlfriend into a nervous wreck

[Sally] Looks at Lie- Miss Lie?  I'm thirsty...

[Dawn] Do you want something to drink kiddo? I've got Oj, tea and milk.

[Sally] - Orange juice!  Orange juice!

[Dawn] I'll be right back then. - heads into the house-

[Azrael] Sits back down on the steps. Even seated he's huge, and his wings arch gracefully over his back.

[Lie] - So, Slender mentioned Karla?  What's his interest with her?

[Azrael] HE'S ECOUNTERED ONE OF HER CREATIONS AND WAS CURIOUS ABOUT HER. PROFESSING TO WARN HER OF A DANGER SHE ALREADY KNOWS QUITE WELL.

[Lie] - I don't think she'd take well to him suddenly appearing in her place

[Azrael] NEITHER DO I. AND I SUSPECT SHE WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIGHT HIM IF HE WENT ABOUT IT TOO ABRUPTLY. SHE IS.... A FORMIDABLE SOUL.

[Lie] - Maybe I should give her a heads up...

[Dawn] Comes back with a cup of orange juice and gives it to Sally.

[Sally] - Thank you- She begins drinking while drawing lines in the dirt with her feet

[Lie] - I just thought of something...  What would the fruit of Karla's tree do to somebody like Sally?

[Dawn] Ummm....

[Azrael] GIVE HER MORE ENERGY, MOST LIKELY. I DOUBT IT COULD BRING HER BACK TO LIFE THOUGH.

[Lie] - It was just a random thought

[Sally] Finishes the juice and holds the cup out to Dawn- Here you go

[Dawn] Thank you. Anyone else want anything?

[Smile] Looks back at Dawn, finally ceasing his growling- Food?

[Dawn] I don't think I have any dog food, but I know there's some burgers left over from last night?

[Lie] - Smile you just had like four steaks, I think you've had enough food

[Dawn] Ah.

[Azrael] Is easy to read. He's a cat person. 100%

[Lie] - Well, we should be going, but it was nice catching up with you.  Doc probably would have called to tell you about what happened with Harvestman if they hadn't left their phone out in the real world

[Azrael] IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU AS WELL. WELL.... IN A SITUATION THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE BUSINESS.

[Lie] - Yeah, alright, come here Smile, we're leaving

[Smile] Trots over to Lie-

[Dawn] Tell Doc to call me once they get the phone back, okay?

[Lie] - Will do- Waves goodbye and leads them back down towards the tv- ALright, we just have a couple errands to do first.  You two okay with that?

[Sally] Nods-

[Smile] - Toys?

[Lie] - If you're good

[far-off-flower-fields]

Don’t mind me just find more random questions to answer to distract me until I’m tired enough to sleep.

How many times each morning do you press the snooze button? I don’t usually have to set alarms these days.

What time of day do you like to shower? Night

When you go out to eat, what sides do your order with your food? Usually no sides because I’m not rich and if I have to pick between a side and a dessert I will get dessert.

What do you spend more money than necessary on?  I’m bad with money, toys probably, or clothes. I buy second hand, but I shouldn’t be buying anything that isn’t specifically planned in advance right now since I need to save to move.

What video game or computer game are you best at?  I’m really bad at games, so maybe Sims 4 or something. I like games, I play them when I have the energy, I just really suck.

How do you normally come across new music?  Spotify, sometimes my Fiance.

What do you keep your keys on?  A turtle keyring.

Is your favorite color different than your favorite color to wear? Not really, I wear a lot of pastel colours, and they’re my favourites. Although I also wear neutrals and black if I’m doing a different look since my wardrobe is like 4-in-1 because I’m a million people at once. 

Do you buy books or get them from the library?  I used to read all the time, I’d go to the library and hire like 7 books and go through a book a day. Now I can’t concentrate so I just don’t read. I have several books in my posession that I need to read though if I ever get better.

What section of the food pyramid do you neglect the most?  I say fuck the food pyramid.

Do you check PostSecret weekly?  I have no idea what that even is.

What do you use your stovetop for most?  Sitting things on. Or pasta. I made hokey-pokey the other month though to use up the last of the syrup someone bought.

Do you notice the impact of the economic recession? Yes, I saw so many posts on Gumtree of people having to give up their pets for financial reasons and it was really heart breaking.

Would you enjoy living somewhere where it's sunny all the time? Absolutely not. The sun gives me headaches and migraines. 

What is it that you always seem to lose?  My will to live xD Honestly though I lose like everything because I have to keep my entire life in a single room of my parents house rn.

Have you ever broken any bones?  One, because I couldn’t handle the thought of going to work. I’m more prone to tendon damage.

What is your winter coat like?  Which one? I have a mint green one which is waterproof and fluffy inside, I have a brown duffle coat one that flares out a bit, and I have a grey long coat. I also had to declare bankruptcy.

Do you keep dirty clothes in a hamper, or on the floor?  Both, I have a system.

Which decade's music do you like best?:  I can’t pick. 

Can you focus on studying if there's music on?  Yes, as well as I can really focus in general.

In what types of situations do you demand absolute silence?  When I have a migraine or sensory overload.

Did you do well at fitness testing in grade school?  NO. PE is the only class I failed.

If you had to choose a wardrobe to steal, who's would you pick? No, I have worked hard on mine to get it to the point its at.

If you had to pick one thing to bring back from the 90's, what would it be? Most of that stuff has already come back in one form or another, or never really gone away. Like you can get the toys second hand, furby has been rereleased like 3 times, clothes you can also still get second hand and the styles are pretty easy to copy anyway. 

What about the 80's?  Same as above.

Do you share any of your music taste with your parents?  I share parts of my music taste with pretty much everyone, I have a really varied music taste, there isn’t a single genre I can say that I hate all of, there are ones I’m fairly unfamiliar with but I always loved music so I like a lot of it.

Could your parents tell when you would fake sick? I was sent in whether I was sick or not so there was no point in even trying. Only way I was allowed off was if I literally threw up in front of them which didn’t happen much, or the few occasions where my allergies gave me conjunctivitis.

Do you own more shoes or less shoes than the average person? More.

Do you still have anything from when you were a baby?  I have a Quasimodo plushie that I had when I was like 3. My parents always threw everything away or gave it away so I don’t even really have baby pictures, except like one I got from my grandparents place when they died.

Are there any stores that send you e-mail newsletters? A couple, but that’s just from buying things in the past.

Do you think people overuse the word "random"?  Now not so much, but back in the 00s and early 10s it was used a lot more.

How often do you floss?  Never, my teeth are a bit overcrowded so I can’t fit the floss in without pain and bleeding. 

Do you use hairspray much?  Never, I used it for a couple of stage shows I was in when I was a lot younger and that was about it.

Who is your favorite painter? I don’t really have one because there are so many, if I’m picking out of just the really famous ones then either Monet or Van Gogh.

Are art museums interesting or boring to you?  Interesting

What subject in school do you feel is the least necessary? PE needs significant changes to be at all worth the cost of running it. Once I hit my 20s I found out that there actually are some physical activities that I enjoy and missed out on. I think they should make it more free-form, if the concern really is health then surely letting people find and do the fitness tasks that work for them is better. If I’d been brought into a gym with actual gym equipment and they explained, okay, this does this, and this does this, try things out with a spotter and see what you like and what works for you, I’d have been much better of and have had some degree of physical fitness by now. They could also have offered option modules where instead of forcing everyone to do the same shit they let you pick, then I’d have been able to do yoga and dance and skipped out on the team sports they were pushing that literally lead to so much bullying and injuries because it’s about being competitive so they can send they sport inclined kids off to do competitions and win the school more money for the sports department and it’s a big nasty cycle of, damage some kids in favour of others, and lie to them all while making it compulsory for several years. Sorry this is a big ol’ sore spot with me because it is hugely indicative of many of the issues with many school systems in general, and while kidding on it’s for the youth, is actually just hurting them. FUCK. 

When you were a kid, what games did you always play on the playground? I had like two modes, there was the days where people would play with me and we’d mash-up characters from the shows/movies we were watching (mostly charmed, totally spies, and xmen) and play as them in this whole made up world. Other days I’d walk around the tennis court trying to stay on the lines if it was empty or I’d just walk around the school daydreaming.

Do you enjoy power outages or do you get annoyed? I’m scared of the dark so I’m more afraid than annoyed. If I’m in the right situation it can be okay, but I never am because I don’t live with my Fiance and we can never afford candles.

Do you know how to use an ATM?  Yes.

How about write a check? No.

Are you in to your heritage much?  Sort of, not of my specific family, but Scotland’s cultural history and the like is interesting.

Are you pretty politically correct?  I resent that term, it’s like the term “cancelled” where some brat decided to make it into something controversial to be nice, and considerate, and tactful, or to hold others accountable and expect them to hold themselves accountable. These are basic things you should be doing, do you need to use slurs? NO what are you losing by not using them? Nothing. What are you gaining by using them? Nothing. We gain nothing as a society by being intentionally offensive or winding folk up. You’re not thought provoking, we already came to the conclusion that certain things are shit, the next step isn’t to continue with your jokes, it’s to stop that shit and do the right thing to the best of your ability. FFS what does it cost people to just be nice? NOTHING.

What is one fashion trend you'll never understand? Some of the shoes the now are, lumpy and weird? Like they stick out in places I can’t imagine being practical. Also mullets.

What do you wear when you exercise?  Ummmm depends what I was wearing immediately beforehand, if it’s fine then I just stick with that since I don’t do anything especially heavy-duty. If it’s not, I just grab some sort of top and shorts or leggings, whatever I put my hand on first honestly. A lot of the time I’m just wearing onesies with little monsters all over and they’ll do the job so I just stay in them.

What is usually the last thing you do before you go to bed? It varies, sometimes I put on some rain sounds or something. The only consistent thing is that I have to go to the loo whether I need to or not, that’s one of those things I assumed literally everyone did but it turns out they don’t and I just held onto the methods that were used to toilet train me as a bub xD If I’m alone I also have a system I have to use to check the doors are locked or I can’t sleep and have to get back up to check, but I don’t have the house to myself that often so...
