Halloween/Fall Hcs with genshin men!🕸

scara

if you're going to want to be out and about on halloween, this is not the guy for you. 100% wants to stay in the whole time

will watch scary movies/play horror games with you, he will any day honestly but- he gets such an ego boost if you hide yourself in his shirt during gorey or freaky parts of movies. he gets so happy that he feels like he can protect you

he will not, under any circumstances, hand out candy to trick or treaters. he will slam the door in a 6 year olds face lmao he thinks it's stupid and will be honest about it. if you have a young sibling, he'll come with you to take them trick or treating (and complain a lot)

he doesn't care for anything sweet, probably opting for sour candies like sweettarts or those weird hard ball things. but maybe if he's feeling generous, he'll buy you some of your favorite treats. even if he hates the sticky sweet gummies and pixie stix you adore, you can bet everything he'll stand in line for hours the day before halloween.

he thinks dressing up is stupid, but you could talk him into a basic couples costume. maybe ghostface and casey (tbh ive never watched scream movies so im going off google) he would probably do that pumpkin head trend with you, he'll feel stupid the whole time but it's worth it to make you happy.

he'd want to carve pumpkins, and he will, but carving them gets difficult for him. it takes a lot of strength to do that, but he will do his best and attempt to help you. maybe it's best to skip this and just paint pumpkins...

you can take him to starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte all you want, but he'll insist on paying and get the worst tasting black coffee every time!! it's even worse because he genuinely likes bitter coffee

overall 10/10 fall boyfie, he doesn't like all the chaos and celebrations, but does enjoy quality time with you<3

ajax

he was literally made for this. he adores autumn and winter. considering he's from shneznaya, he could wear a t-shirt any time in fall and be fine, no matter where you live.

he'll take you to all his friends parties, if your up for it. and you have to have matching costumes, any couple you can think of is a valid costume option. he will be ken. he will wear the fucking roller skating costume. a little off topic but he saw the barbie movie and loved it.

spends halloween hitting up parties and showing off your costumes and takes teucer out to trick or treat at the end of the night. it's literally so cute to see him walking with teucer, eventually carrying him home when it gets too late.

he's so sweet to kids while giving out candy. i think he's the type to have candy bars and other allergy safe options, lollipops and goldfish maybe. the neighborhood kids love his house because of how rich he is, king sized chocolate bars for all. he's such a family man and adores kids so he's made for this.

he goes mad when decorating for halloween, pushing the line between too scary for kids and too cute. somehow it always works out. I feel like he'd be good at decorations because he takes side jobs at haunted houses. he'd be really good at playing a slasher i think.

you'll go to the haunted house he's working at with a group of friends, and he'll end up sneaking up on you from behind, pressing his fake knife to your throat and whispering "boo" it nearly gives you a heart attack but it's mad funny. he definitely gets in trouble for kissing one of the customers, but it's worth it.

if you prefer a calmer way to celebrate, he'll skip most of the parties and have a nice night with you after teucer gets tired out from a sugar rush. you'll snuggle up on the couch together watch whatever scary movies you'd like, he definitely puts up a bunch of candles for the fun atmosphere.

he'll buy you literally anything halloween or fall related. you want a cute new reath for autumn? only the best one on the market for you. want some overpriced seasonal drink? you're having a large and he'll get one too! it's honestly just an excuse to spoil you at this point

he's a 9/10 in this department. would be a 10 if he didn't make jokes about skeletons and boners...

lyney

the halloween boyfriend of the century. he has so much fun with holiday stuff and dressing up makes it even better

he's a performer, he's extra, so he has to win any costume contests! lynette is sick of this nonsense by now but it warms her heart to see you having so much fun helping lyney with his autumnal nonsense.

he's not necessarily one for big halloween celebrations, opting to spend his time hanging out with you and his siblings, possibly telling scary stories. lynette is rather unphased but poor freminet is always freaked out afterwards. there's definitely more than enough marshmallows for all the smores you intend to eat while this goes on.

he'll let you snuggle up next to him around the fire pit if you get a little freaked out. he gets to entertain and be with his lover, two of his favorite things. he'll even roast a few marshmallows for you! but it's expected that you return the gesture.

he'll definitely buy all kinds of dumb halloween decorations from the closest dollar store. don't be suprised when you find plastic spiders placed around the house. he loves to decorate outside of the house, it's slightly obnoxious but you're used to it at this point.

he'll happily take you out for whatever over the top seasonal drink you want, he does this for lynette every year as well. unsurprisingly, she typically becomes the third wheel to these drink based outings. but it's worth it to see lyney fawning over you like a puppy.

as previously mentioned, he dresses up and goes hard on halloween costumes. he'll be the one begging you to match for halloween. he seriously goes hard, the time and dedication of a seasoned cosplayer goes into his costumes.

he's the type to take you to fall festivals and engage in the classic fair games, throwing darts, bobbing for apples, even silly haunted houses. you might end up dragging him into a haunted house, lyney won't get too scared... or at least that's what he says, but he holds your hand the whole time.

a solid 9/10 fall boyfriend, definitely gets into all aspects of october and fall as a whole. he gets a little too carried away and might forget about your scary movie date... but it's okay because now you, him, and both of his siblings all have matching costumes!!

shit i sorta lost motivation with lyneys uhhh it's fineee i just wanted this out for halloween lol

[cookinguptales]

time to shill for Big Salt!!!

Okay, so like I said in my last post, I recently became a ~Vitassium Ambassador~, which is a fancy way of saying that I shilled for this company for free for so long that now they're paying me to do it.

In salt. Much like a deer.

Anyway.

Vitassium is SaltStick's line of products specifically for POTS, EDS, Cystic Fibrosis, Vasovagal Syncope, and other forms of autonomic dysfunction. Essentially speaking, SaltStick has been making electrolyte products for years, and when they realized that a lot of their patients buying them were doing it for medical reasons, they started doing research into creating products specifically for that purpose. And that's how the Vitassium line was born.

Vitassium generally has more salt and less magnesium/calcium/potassium than SaltStick's other electrolyte products, which is good if you need a lot of salt and you don't want to take too high a dose of the rest. Personally, I tend to use a mixture of both of their lines so I can get a little calcium/magnesium boost sometimes but more salt other times. (The amount of potassium is fairly similar in both lines, with a little more in the SaltStick line.)

Either way, it has a lot less sugar than Liquid IV, which I get sick off of due to sugar sensitivities. Like... *googles* 11g of sugar in Liquid IV vs. 2g of sugar in Vitassium, with the same amount of salt in each serving. I have to be pretty careful about my sugar intake, and I suppose I can't speak for everyone, but my stomach handles Vitassium a lot better than most of the other alternatives on the market.

So I've been using it for several years now and I'm really happy with their products! Like -- I may now officially be a shill for Big Salt, but I don't plan on lying or exaggerating anything here. I use their products every day, and sometimes that's the only way I can manage to take a shower.

(My fellow POTS/EDS-sufferers know, the shower struggle is real. lmao)

Anyway, they just sent me one of everything in their Vitassium line. They didn't actually ask me to show it off, but I'm doing it anyway because this is my blog and I cannot be stopped.

From left to right, we have a bottle of their electrolyte capsules (these are sugar-free extended-release salt pills with a bit of potassium added), both flavors of their electrolyte fastchews (chewable electrolyte candies that provide quick relief... think salty sweettarts), a cute bottle full of packets of their electrolyte drink mix, sample packs of the fastchews, and some stickers.

Personally, I mostly use the fastchews. I've tried salt capsules in the past and had some stomach upset, but now that they sent these to me for free, I guess I'll try them out again. The fastchews are basically sour candy full of salt lmao. (They also have about 2g of sugar per serving, just like the drink mix.) They really are effective, though, so I tend to take them as needed throughout the day.

I usually just keep a bottle of them in my purse, but the sample size bags are resealable and fit well in pockets, bags, etc. I'm happy that they sent me some little sample bags because now I can refill them, haha.

I used to just buy the normal SaltStick fastchews, and my go-to flavors in that line are orange, wild berry, and lemon-lime! I haven't tried the mango because I'm allergic, the peach is okay if very sour, the coconut pineapple is a nice piña colada taste but a little sweet for me, and I really hate the watermelon ones!

(Look, I promised to be honest with you. lmao)

The Vitassium fastchews are newer, and they only come in two flavors so far. I always buy the fruit punch because I despise artificial grape flavor. They just gave me a bunch of grape ones, so I tried them. Good for what they are, but I still hate grape.

(Do any of my chronically ill followers want these? lmk)

The drink mix is the newest Vitassium product! I like it quite a bit; the relief is quicker when you drink it vs. eat it, and speaking as someone who generally hates drink mixes, the flavor is pretty good.

I've tried both the fruit punch and the pink lemonade, and I think I prefer the pink lemonade. The flavor suits the salt a little better, imo, and I think weirdly it mixes a little better?

I usually buy the drink mix in the canisters because it's cheaper that way and produces less waste (the canister pictured there is one I already had) but the packets are very handy to keep in your bag. They're easy to tear open and even when you tear off the whole top, the opening is small enough that it pours smoothly into small-necked bottles. I like to put some ice in mine and shake it up.

(Side note: Vitassium has specifically designed all their packaging to be as easy to open and use as possible because they know that so many of their customers have arthritis, EDS, and other connective tissue disorders. Which, as someone with EDS, I truly appreciate.)

Finally, one thing I genuinely like about Vitassium is that they try to make their products as accessible as possible for their customers who use them for medical reasons. They have something called the Vitassium Club, which allows registered users who have a medical condition to get 25% off all their electrolyte products. You don't have to get a doctor's note or anything like that, just send in a quick online form and wait for them to change the status of your account.

That brings the cost of the product down considerably for the people who need it most, which is good because honestly? Electrolyte boosters add up fast when you need to consume that much salt every day.

Uhhhh, I think that's everything for now! If you have any questions, lmk! I'm fairly passionate about this kind of thing because when I was first diagnosed with POTS/EDS like... god, 15 years ago now, they didn't have anything like this. I remember struggling to develop a diet that worked for me with no one to teach me and honestly? That fucking sucked. I don't want anyone to be in that position.

So now here in 2023, I'm happy to pass on any chronic illness-related tips I have. Like drink Vitassium! And add salt while you're cooking, not at the end! The flavor will be less strong that way! And a packet of sugar-free hot cocoa mix will often have as much sodium in it as a bag of chips!

Stay salty, friends. 🧂💜😎

Fanta Zero Sugar #whatthefanta Mystery Flavored Soda Fall 2023

What a mouthful. I didn't even see if there was an official name, so this is the best I can do.

This appears to be a zero-sugar-only flavor, there were no other mystery Fanta bottles at the convenience store where I purchased this about a week ago (Holiday Stationstores, iykyk).

There was another mystery Fanta last winter that was a pale blue color, IIRC it was cotton candy-like, my gf got me one to try. That one is no longer available and I didn't love it at the time.

Regardless, this is not the same as that. This is truly an enigma. I drink it and I am puzzled. I even bought multiple bottles and am still trying to work out the flavor. At times it tastes like every Skittle at once. Other times, Jolly Rancher. Again still, SweetTarts candy. Sometimes it tastes a little sour, other times I can't detect a sourness. I want to call it grape because of the color, but it's not simply grape. My gf drank one alongside me, she called out a number of other fruit flavors including pear.

Hand to god, I would say this is a mixed fruit candy flavor of some kind, similar concept to one of the Mountain Dew VooDews of the past.

Do I like it? Hell yes. It tastes great and the carbonation is pretty light. The sourness, when I can detect it, is refreshing. My only gripe is that it's heavily dyed and turns my lips and tongue a sickly greenish purple. It's caffeine free, so I can enjoy it any time of day, too.

10/10. I love that another brand has started to make fun new limited time flavors. Why let Pepsi-Co have all the fun?

Another Get To Know Me Tag!

This time much more random! 

I was tagged by @cantseemtohide 💕 Thanks! 

1. What do you have under your bed? 

Some cat toys that are difficult to reach. My cats keep taking them under the bed with them and I can’t help them get their toys back so I guess they’ll just stay under the bed until one of my cats bothers to take it back out. 

2. Favorite candy? 

Oh noes, I have quite a few. I love most of the Wonka candies, especially Laffy Taffy and SweetTarts. I also love the Salt Water Taffy you get from Cracker Barrel, Trolli Sour Gummy Worms, Lotte Koume Plum Candy, Aciduladitos, Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarindo, Obleas, and my most favorite is the homemade Cajeta that mi Suegra keeps buying for me every time she visits Mexico... I have 3 tubs of it in my kitchen rn... 

3. Describe your favorite shirt 

BoxLunch sells a recreation of the Wreck-It Ralph 2 Cinderella G2G Sweatshirt and that is my favorite shirt. I wore it to Disney World last may. Cinderelly is my favorite princess! 💙 

4. The last thing you drew/doodled was: 

I drew pentacles in the sand at a public beach~♥⍟ 

5. Are you completely sober rn? 

I’m a caffeine junkie so I don’t know if I could ever say I’m completely sober... Maybe for like 15 mins in the morning before I have my coffee. Though if we’re not counting caffeine, then yes. I only drink wine during rituals/holidays, I don’t really like alcohol. And smoking is a big no-no for me. 

6. What’s the one thing that annoys you more than anything? 

Pants. They’re always either too tight or too loose. I only have like 2 pairs that fit comfortably. And when they wear out from getting washed too frequently ‘cuz they’re the only pants I wear, it’ll be a whole process of looking through shops until I finally find another pair of comfortable pants and it’s just the worst process. 

7. Have you ever gotten your tongue stuck to a cold pole during winter? 

Nope! I ate snow a lot, but never went around licking poles. 

8. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? 

Back at Disney World 💔  it’s so expensive tho 

9. What was the single last word you spoke? 

My husband went to get us Whataburger just now and after telling him I wanted Biscuits and Gravy I said the usual “be safe I love you” before he drove off on a quest for breakfast. 

Now in return I will tag: @sassie-sims @miss-may-i @sweetpyxels and @asimofmanyhats

[yomiurinikei]

woo yea new au!

wow that’s so crazy!! can’t believe kids r fucking dead!! but it was like 20 years ago no one cares, nothing else is gonna happen,, time to settle down and have some kids!

jk everyone adopts, from the same orphanage, yamato was able to find one that had 4 little kids who had gotten close and didn’t wanna be separated, so all four households took one!

Enter Household Inori! Kanata, Kakeru and Kinji have lovingly taken little Hajime Makunouchi into their home! He’s a very lovely child, if a bit health conscious due to his past and his surgeon mother

Enter Household Hatano! Ayame, Kizuna and Kiyoka along with their lovely new daughter Emma! She’s just as fiery and passionate as her mothers, and it shows! They all work perfectly together, and are four girls you don’t wanna fuck with.

Household Kisaragi! Yamato darling hasn’t found anyone he really clicks with, but that actually works best for his darling Iroha! She’s used to being excessively monitored, so having some personal space when she needs it/being in a less crowded home is very good for her!

And finally, Household Iranami! Satsuki, Haruhiko and Mikako wound up with Nikei, who fits right in! He’s actually the reason the four were discovered, as Yamato was trying to track him down, since years ago Mikako had him at a time she wasn’t ready for a child, and gave him up for adoption. He wound up back in the system, and has now been reunited with his mom, and has two more adoring parents!

Yuki and Akane live together, and Mitch is by himself, but the kids still love them all the same! Uncle Mitch becomes a quick favorite and a source of candy before dinner, and Akane/Yuki can be a bit scary, but they’re still loved nonetheless!

So just like their parents, the kids grow up exploring their neighborhood together, and always questioning why they aren’t allowed to go into the woods, but never getting a explanation

I mean, it’s not like they need to get all freaked out and worried, they can just entertain themselves in other ways and be kept in the dark..

it all works until the day that they have to explain why Mr. Yuki won’t be able to play anymore.. he’s disappeared into the forest, just like Tsurugi, Rei and Teruya did all those years ago.

So the kids are all brought together as their parents sadly recount the story, and convince their kids they should never go into the strange forest with a history of making people disappear.. I mean what kinda kid would want to go poke around in there?

literally any kid would want to.

so the quartet sets off to find the missing people! just imagining how happy everyone will be to see their friends again, it’s more than enough to keep them all going!

led by (literal fucking idiot, too curious for his own good) nikei, they start searching. they’re able to piece together where it all happened, based off the pictures they’ve seen, and are very hyped to find the old tree akane had climbed, with the three missing children’s names carved in an- holy fuck is that candy??

swedish fish and sweettarts, lemonheads and 100 grand bars, fruit stripes and astro pops and so much more! And even better, they’re all from the 60s.. and lead right to where the children were lost….

But now is no time for fear, not when they’re so close to the truth! So they follow the trail until suddenly, everything goes shifting and spinning around then, the dark colors of the forest twisting and twirling into the much brighter hues of..

wait actually wtf where are they??

~*~

Coming soon! Join our lovely kiddy quartet as they journey through this wonderful land of candy cane trees, licorice forests, and all the sweets your heart could desire! Just be sure to keep a eye out for the more bitter and sour treats…

(!! Woo yea! all the concepts here are original, except for ofc candyland and danganronpa another, everything else (so all the plot and changes made) was created by either me, or @gogo-ghostship! we’ll be making a ask blog soon, so be on the lookout for that!!)

[dewitty1]

2, 7, and 24!

Thanks for the ask lovely @april-thelightfury115( •ॢ◡-ॢ)-♡

2. What’s your favorite candy?

Well, I don’t really have a favorite. I suppose that’s weird. But it’s true. I have several that I really like though - in no particular order - Snickers, Twix, Kit Kat, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, M&M’s, Sour gummies, Sweettarts, Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark, Hershey’s minis. LOL I’m surprisingly easy to please when it comes to candy. But honestly, I rarely eat it. I’ll get a craving for it a few times year, but that’s it. (っˆڡˆς)

7.  Do you prefer poems or love letters?

Well, I’ve never gotten a love letter TBH. But I don’t really love poetry. So I’d go with letters.★~(◠‿◕✿)

24.  What makes you blush? 

Pretty much any type of romance directed at me. Like uhhh.. w e i r d and why would you do such a thing?(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

More Valentine’s Day asks here! ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡

[joyfulsongbird]

19, 67!

19. favorite mythical creature, why?

umm idk i’ve always preferred like water creatures. and I love selkies, the lore and the creature itself is just so interesting..

67. favorite type of candy?

I’ve always loved sour things, like SweetTarts and things like that. those are the best.

[chivalrouswooly]

Favorite candy? Worst movie you’ve ever seen? Do you like to sing? A singer or band you’d recommend? Have you ever had a pet?

Extra Sour Sweettarts. I eat the until my tongue bleeds, and that is not an exaggeration.

Honestly, my memory is too shit to remember a specific movie. But I’d say anything with Adam Sandler.

I only sing - extremely poorly - when I’m either really sad, or really drunk, or both. So it depends on which state I’m in. 😂

My music taste is pretty all encompassing . Right now I guess I’d recommend the album “From Michigan with Love” by Quinn XCII. It defined 2019 for me.

I used to. Ages ago. Lucky the bum, a rust-red colored ‘golden’ retriever that we found as a mange-ridden, abandoned pup. He came from humble beginnings, live a pampered life, and it broke my family when he passed. But that was a long time ago.

[detectivepowell]

“I set up the blanket fort. The password to get in is three words.”

@brightwasright

“Is it ‘you’re an idiot?’“

The detective gave him a small smile as she pushed past him in the doorway then walked towards the open living room, eyeing the set up placed strategically across from the TV.  Like everything the Whitley’s did, the fort was lavish- so lavish that she couldn’t help but wonder if Jessica had come over and hired someone to come create this scene for him. 

It was sweet really, even if it was a little over the top.  But she assumed that Malcolm hadn’t exactly had many movie nights with anyone growing up...so how was he supposed to know what to do?  That’s what Wikihow was for.  Besides it was Valentine’s Day and they both had nothing to do or anyone to go to...so why not be a little extra?

“This is really something Bright...I’m seriously impressed- did you order the pizza? I um wasn’t sure what candy you eat because rambling on about moods and candy isn’t really an answer so I just grabbed my favorites.”  A small shrug was given as she tossed the bag filled with Sweettarts, Sour Gummy Worms, and Reeces- as well as her bottle of Dr. Pepper into the fort , then crawled in with the bucket of popcorn in her hand.  

“Do you know how many people give you the ‘you’re a weird piece of shit‘ look for going into the movie theater, buying a ticket and a fifteen dollar bucket of popcorn, then walking out of the place?  It’s a humbling experience.”  Quickly Dani tore open the gummy worms, biting onto one before making herself comfortable on the bed of blankets and pillows.  

“What movie we watchin?”

Random Witchy Intro

A quick introduction to who I am as a witch... (I got bored, and then I got stoned, and then this happened. I’d say I’m sorry but...)

(@fae-kisses don’t suppose you’re interested in helping make this a tag-10 chain?)

Name: Journey Mae 

Age: 22 going on 12 lolol

Type of witch: Eclectic, with a current focus on spirit work. Most of my Craft falls into the “mental” category, though I’ll use the elements to aid my goals on occasion. (With the exception of using/growing plants, as they’re foreign to me and I have the blackest thumb ever.)

Do you worship? If yes, who/what? Yes, though I prefer to call myself a student, and my Gods/Goddesses my teachers.

Gods or Goddesses (if applicable): I’m just beginning, but I currently work with Psyche and Anubis.

Favorite colors: black, purple, green, red. 

Zodiac sign: Aquarius moon, Aquarius rising, Taurus sun.

Oracle or Tarot cards? Oracle, all the way. I like both, but I prefer to read oracle.

Do you have an altar? Technically, I have three. Life, Death, and my main altar in between.

Candles or incense? Candles, candles, candles!

Curses: yay or nay? I personally don’t feel right cursing, but I do understand the reason behind why others might. So, I guess...nay for me but yay for others if that’s what they wanna do? I’m not gonna police anyone’s Craft so...

Three-fold Law? Not sure I’d call that what I follow. I believe in a mirror effect: your actions ripple back to you eventually, whether that’s good or bad, passive or active, harmful or productive. 

Do you believe in being psychic? I think that everyone has the potential for a gift, it just takes some more work to open the channel than others.

Real or Imagined: ghosts, spirits, angels, demons? Real to ghosts/spirits, but angels and demons I’m not even going to pretend I know the answer to.

Fate, Destiny, or Luck? Oh, jeez, I...don’t know. I think that the amount of very specific dominoes  that had to fall for me to meet my Twin Flame makes me believe in something, but I don’t know what, exactly.

Soulmates: real or not? I used to think not, but I’ve had to rethink and investigate this, so my answer has changed to absolutely real.   

Location: the States.

Are you in any fandoms? Oh, Gods yes! Movies: anything Tim Burton, Coraline, Addams Family, any movie in the Conjuring universe, TV: Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Ancient Magus Bride, Violet Evergarden, Full Metal Alchemist. Books: Eragon, Twilight (it’s a guilty pleasure, okay, I’m ashamed to even admit it), the Violet Eden series, Hush Hush...There’s a lot more books but I’m stoned and can’t think of them right now lolol

PLEASE NOTE: I’m 420-friendly, and will likely post a things related to that, because I smoke myself and will likely connect it to my craft in the future. 

Favorite animal: when I was a kid, it was horses, no doubt about it. Now, it’s snakes, bats, and dogs.

Favorite candy: It changes. Right now I love Nerds, SweetTarts, and Starbursts, but anything fruity and sweet/tangy/sour is probably a good bet.

Sexuality/Gender: Demisexual biromantic female. (not complicated much at all lolol)

Dream career: I’m actually working towards that now. Paramedic, and later FBI. 

Any other interesting facts? My room is plastered with Jack Skellington, FrankenWeenie, and varying skeletons/skulls. Most of my music is alternative rock or just alternative. I still sleep with a teddy bear (creatively named RainBear or “Bear” for his colorful fur) and have a hard time at night if I don’t have it with me. I hate the dark, spiders and all the creepy-crawlies that go with them, but my next pet will be a snake. My job is literally keeping dogs in line all day, but catch me around my two chihuahuas at home and I turn into a baby-talking No-No-Fifi. 

Entertainment I’ve never seen: The Twilight Zone, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Titanic.

Favorite quote? “The path sprouts where my feet dare to tread.” - The Ancient Magus Bride. I take it to mean that I carve my own path. 

Any Tattoos/Piercings? No tattoos done but a long list of them that I plan on getting. I currently have my right industrial, both lobes, belly button, and eyebrow pierced, but I still plan on my lower lip, tongue, second eyebrow, and septum or nostril getting done.

Biggest current thing you’re proud of? I’m gonna go ahead and just say “myself” because I’ve changed a lot in the past couple of years and I like who I’ve turned into. If that doesn’t count, then probably it’s tied between the fact that I finally got all of my laundry done after putting it off for a month. and the fact that I got six hours of sleep last night. 

Will your blog have any possible triggers for the people that read your posts? Umm...probably/possibly? I mean...I’ll do my best to tag them accordingly and put warnings where I can, but I personally have depression, eating issues, anxiety, C-PSTD and a slew of other crap hiding in my closet. I’m human; crappy things happen and leave messes behind. They shouldn’t come up often since this is a witchcraft blog, but my deities touch every aspect my life, so I can’t say for certain that they’ll never come up at all. 

Coffee, tea, or other? Touch my coffee or prevent me from having my morning cup and I will show you why my friends and family affectionately call me a “Little Demon.” Seriously. Don’t do it. Just walk away. Live your life safely.

Aaannnddd lastly, do you encourage random messages to create friends? That’s really the only way I’ll connect with you lolol I’m built out of randomness, spite, and a bit of cuddly-baby-bat. Random is good!

I learned something new today! I wanted to know what made sour candy so sour (because I just finished eating Sour SweetTarts that I bought yesterday). Anyways! So I googled the second sentence lol and it said citric and tartaric acid contribute to the sourness of candy. But I couldn't find either one of those in the ingredients of my candy. I saw the ingredient "malic acid" and was like "hmm, never heard of this before". And sure it enough! It was the ingredient that makes extremely sour candy so sour or tart. And it's also the ingredient that makes Granny Smith Apples tart.

- “Hungry but don’t feel like eating” is a real thing where most foods either don’t appeal or can seem nauseating. Problem it causes: NOT eating can actually cause stomach damage via acid and... also causes nausea and further ADHD and depression symptoms!  It can be somewhat fixed. Eat a TINY amount. Find your texture: a handful of plain potato chips, plain rice (microwave rice is more expensive yes, but less expensive than developing GERD because of starvation. your body does NOT distinguish between starvation because of famine, anorexia, or lack of hunger signals. when you don’t eat, your body stops sending hunger signals. just eat *something*) a couple of saltine crackers, 4-5 ritz crackers if you don’t like saltines. I like the buttery flavour better, but I have to get the gluten-free kind. a little bit of instant mashed potatoes made in the microwave. i prefer mine with a little sour cream mixed in because it makes them creamier and closer to “real” fresh-made potatoes. I don’t care if all you eat is one cookie worth of cold sugar cookie dough. it’s SOMETHING. - “Hungry but can’t make anything”  Stop thinking that keeping snacks is a bad thing. Refer to “Hungry but don’t feel like eating”- eat ANYTHING to prevent bad side effects. Doesn’t have to be much. Cheerios are often buy one, get one free. Off-brand is also good. They come in lots of flavours like pumpkin, strawberry, honey, apple, chocolate, etc. and many are gluten-free. I have tupperware, too, the GOOD kind (the more expensive kind won’t warp with one wash and the lids are tighter so ants can’t get in). So now I have ‘stashes’ of food in sealed containers.in a few places: the couch, where I sleep most from fibro. My desk in my office. My purse, my car’s dashboard. Keep some snacks stashed everywhere!  Granola bars or cereal bars are fine, too. I often get those B1G1. Cashews are fine. I also have the big bag of peanut or almond M+Ms broken into those tiny ziplock snack bags in 3-4 places (not the car, too hot.) Fig newtons. In the kitchen, plain fruit, like bananas. No apples or oranges- I have to peel oranges, so knowing I Won’t, those are out.  I have canned soup but often don’t have energy to microwave it. So that’s out, but if you have a microwave and three minutes, do that. Don’t have to eat the whole can. I microwave things in tupperware sometimes so I can just put a lid on it and put it in the fridge. Some of my bowls are glass with lids so I can do that.  Microwave rice is good, too. Crackers are fine. Each a loaf of bread. You don’t have to MAKE a sandwich- you wanna just eat four slices of meat, a couple individual slices of cheese, and later a slice of toast? THAT’S FINE. NO ONE CAN STOP YOU. THERE IS NO FOOD POLICE HERE.

- “Hungry, want to eat, why bother” is along with “Hungry but hyperfixated” and “Hungry but unaware because hyperfixated” These are actually very similar in actions and resolution. Different people regulate differently. I need timers to ding and TELL me why they are dinging. Cue the random snacks stashed from the previous section. Those timers ding every hour or two, then five minutes after that to make sure I did it. Hyperfixated? I don’t have to stop doing the thing, I just have to eat A cracker and keep doing the thing. The snacks have to be IN REACH before I can start a Thing; it’s now part of “setup” for doing a Thing. yay autism. Want to sew? Part of my sewing supplies is a snack- usually baby wipes and gummies. Not M+Ms which can leave candy stains or cereal since that can have crumbs. Gummies are fine though, or something like chewy sweettarts. Sometimes I have no idea how much time went by. It could be twenty minutes. Suddenly it’s... dark? It was JUST like, 11:30 AM. Uh. ...........?????? That’s why I have the alarms! My phone knows what the fuck two hours looks like. I don’t have to eat a giant meal and stop what I’m doing. I JUST need to eat a few things until I’m actually hungry. ONE substantial meal a day is a necessity, but that is part of the “routine.” The alarms work if I try to help myself. I need to eat to help me have the mind power to maintain focus, or else I think* I know what I’m doing, but later I realise I’ve made drastic mistakes. Because I didn’t eat. duh. “Why bother” is not a question I allow my depressed ass to dwell on because depression will ALWAYS say “there is no reason to live, no reason to eat, I’ll just be hungry later, this is a waste” and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. if there is, that’s a train. NEVER dwell on “why bother”. Don’t think about it. Just try to make eating an auto habit. “Why bother,” you can think, while also just not thinking about eating literally two cookies. The cookies don’t HAVE to be meaningful. They don’t need a cosmic purpose. Cookies are meant to be eaten. You are fulfilling the cookies’ destiny. Cookies are not meant for the garbage. You ate the cookies. Good. The cookies weren’t that great? Fuck ‘em! Destroy them- by devouring them. Time loss because of depression? The alarm thing again. Your phone knows what two hours looks like. Depression doesn’t know what five fucking DAYS looks like. Just do the thing. Don’t let yourself think about it.  - “Hungry but I’ll get to it later” Snacks. Everywhere. In arms’ reach. You don’t have to have a whole meal or a GOOD meal. Just eat a small amount of literally anything to give you calories until you get the Real Meal. That’s what those snacks talked about in the first section are and why they come in handy. Just keep them everywhere, like in a one gallon ziploc bag wherever you are most often. 2-3 places. whatever. long-term dry storage food that doesn’t need special temps stuff, protein bars or something. I pick M+Ms because they have nuts and a small amount of chocolate + sugar relative to me just munching on straight caramel blocks.  Hungry, okay, I’ll eat a tiny amount of cashews NOW, and in two hours, I’ll eat some scrambled eggs with salmon and rice. And I’m lazy. It’s clearance frozen salmon with teriyaki sauce, thrown in the oven on tinfoil for 20 minutes while I do dishes or something, then microwave eggs (3mins), and microwave rice (90 seconds). Put it all on a plate. BAM. Done. ONE big meal a day. And that can be heated up tomorrow, too. If there is salad or something that’s still good (something I avoid buying because I never eat it in time) I’ll eat that. Otherwise, like, fruit or something. A few slices of avocado or a little premade guacamole. Guacamole and cucumber slices on toast can be quite good. Just one slice. That’s fine if you want a “healthy snack.” That is the total of my energy with chronic fatigue, okay? (okay, I’m not “lazy”, I’m sick, but see. internalized ableism right there.) you’re ALLOWED to eat. just eat a LITTLE. 

- EDIT I ALMOST DIDN’T FINISH - “Definitely not hungry, BUT...” That’s a real thing. Your body KNOWS generally what you need, even if misdirected. For example, sometimes before diagnosis, I DESPERATELY craved specifically vanilla tahini, mustard, strawberry frozen yoghurt, and caramelized sweet onions despite being somewhat intolerant to onions. Hahaha turns out, those are all like ridiculously full of copper and antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. I have a severe genetic disorder that is destroying all of my nerves and causing inflammation everywhere in my body. It was so bad that my pain levels were SO out of control that my heart actually stopped because of it once. My BP on one hospital visit was ~70/40. Yeaaahh that’s.... scary dangerous. Apparently my Veteran’s Affairs-scale pain level daily WITH medication is 6-7. Without it... uh. That was Normal for me.  My friend started craving random fruit and specific dark chocolate and peppers like crazy. She HATES chocolate. She has always hated chocolate. Even when we were kids. Suddenly it tasted fucking delicious and she couldn’t get enough. Her gynecological issues had become cancer. All of those foods are “anti-cancer” foods, antioxidants, metallics, anti-inflammatories... everything she suddenly was likely losing or needing because of the cancer, she was craving.  If you weren’t hungry but suddenly just INHALED food like Kirby and now you suddenly feel So Much Better? YOUR BODY NEEDED FOOD. YOU NEED IT, NOT OPTIONAL. YOUR BRAIN IS A BALL OF ELECTRIFIED FAT AND CARBS. YOUR BODY SELF-CANNIBALIZES IF YOU DON’T HAVE BALANCED NUTRIENTS. YOU. NEED. FOOD. When you don’t eat, the calories needed to send “hungry signals” are too expensive for the amount you have to spend and they stop. But you still Need Food. 

You probably don’t have cancer or EDS or fibro or any of those other terrible things. But eating right keeps your body from fucking up. I wouldn’t HAVE some of the problems I do if I didn’t spend 20 years of my life constantly scrounging for food. I wouldn’t have damage to my stomach that is permanent if I had food to eat when I was a kid. Please eat. Even the temporary lift of mood is a Real Thing- it’s called “hypoglycemia” and when you don’t eat, your mood destabilizes. It can CAUSE depression and ADHD symptoms.

- “Hungry for one specific food.” If you only want ONE specific food that you don’t have access to, you are probably (temporarily) deficient in something, like I was depleting copper and B-complex. Look up what is in that food. “food + nutrition facts” in google. The advanced stuff, like micronutrients, antioxidants, whatever. See if there is another food that you DO have access to which also has that thing.  Hungry for chocolate but don’t have any? Try almond or peanut butter. Or literally any nut or seed. Or avocado. Just a small amount. It might be metallics you’re craving. Eating those might stave off the craving because the metallics are there. If it doesn’t go away... you might want something different. Sugar? A small amount of something like cookie dough, or some kind of carb.  If those don’t work, it might just be that you want chocolate because chocolate is delicious and you are allowed to have chocolate. See if you have the money and ability to go to a petrol station or something and get a chocolate bar.  Don’t know what you want? It’s okay to try one one everything. One thin slice of cheese off the block. One cracker with peanut butter. One fig newton, one handful of popcorn, one slice of apple. Whatever. You can put the fruit or whatever in the freezer for later, okay? You don’t have to eat the whole thing.  One of two things will happen: - Either you eat a little of everything and you will be full, but still craving Something, but at least you will have some kind of calories.  - OR you will have Found a Thing you didn’t know you wanted, but now you feel better If you didn’t find the thing, you are now pretty full-ish. It’s okay. Look at going to a store or something if possible. Now that you have SOMETHING in your stomach, look around. Smell things if possible. Use whatever senses you have available. Bring home stuff in your budget that feels right. Just make sure you eat it later. Limit yourself maybe to $20 or so. I’ve been victim to “this looks AMAZING” and then ... I eat a quarter of ONE thing I bought and then suddenly I have no interest in everything I just bought. Oy. But sometimes, I buy a $22 specific* cake when there’s a $10 cake available... and go to Kirby Stage of “I wasn’t hungry, but...” and suddenly in three days a cake, half a dozen bananas, a half-pound of strawberries, and a few ounces of raspberries and blueberrie were gone. And you know what? Yeah, I did feel better. TL;DR: Eat the food. 

One of my least favorite mental illness things is "hungry but dont feel like eating" and its companions "hungry but all the food in the house is Illegal," "hungry but can't make anything," and "hungry, want to eat, but why bother"
