A few DIY beauty secrets I began doing to elevate my "natural" look | IT GIRL DIARIES

something that I noticed over the years, when looking to enhance your natural beauty, there are 4 main points that build the first impression, hair, eyes, brows and lips..

I have naturally bushy brows that I used to manage with eyebrow gel, but it would start flaking during the day, which gave me the ickk. So, I began laminating them with a kid-friendly relaxer every two weeks (my eyebrows grow pretty fast, which is why I do it so often and i don't get them professionally done because i don't trust people with my brows lol).

I always tweeze my eyebrows instead of waxing them; they seem to grow back slower that way + it's easier to do, just grab a tweezer along with a pocket mirror and you can do it anywhere if you see a hair out of place. ( don't over do it though, i made this mistake and it went horribly, just keep them neat )

Get your lashes laminated !!! Natural lashes are so classy and I don't have to worry about putting on mascara or falsies. This I'd get done professionally though lmao, I would do this myself but I'm way to scared to be messing with anything chemically so close to my eyes, so it isn't necessarily a diy but still, get it done!

ALWAYS make sure your hair, eyes (lashes) and eyebrows are done! You don't have to have a silk press, falsies and freshly waxed brows 24/7 but make sure they're neat. These are the key features that attracts people's attention when youre speaking to them

I have tight 4b type hair, and I used to have to lay my edges with gel or edge control because of how fluffy they'd get when I wore my curls out, but it was super damaging from constantly pulling on them and having them laid down. So, I started relaxing my edges every 3-6 months. Now, all I use is a bit of hairspray to keep them tamed, and now it doesn't puff up even during workouts and it lasts my whole silk press. Yes, my curls are still thriving.

I do weekly deep conditioning, monthly hot oil treatments, routine trims, and always use a heat protectant and frizz control when doing silk presses to stretch them out and minimize heat application. ( my hair has grown so much, leave your hair alone and only feed it when it's hungry! )

you'll hear everyone talking about silk bonnets, but as someone who hates the feeling of having anything on their head or in their face, I always took it off unknowingly throughout the night and it defeated the purpose, so i got silk pillow cases instead, game changer! i don't wrap my hair as often anymore and i don't experience frizz anymore.

I apply a face mask every week depending on what my skin is lacking, whether it’s moisture or something else. It just keeps my face looking fresh and plump in between professional monthly facials.

I use a lip tint every third day. It makes makeup application easier, and it doesn’t wear off throughout the day so i don't have to re-apply lipstick continuously. It also gives my lips a bit more colour so now I just leave the house with a pretty gloss or plain lip balm.

I take zinc supplements religiously!

Vitamin C everyday, all day. Lemon wedge in my greentea for breakfast, orange for a lunchtime snack and a naartjie for a late night movie. My skin is glowinggg!

hair removal cream! this is so slept on, i no longer shave or wax, both of them have caused ingrowns for me and accentuate my strawberry legs. i use hair removal cream now and i don't think I'll ever go back! i use it probably every week or so depending on how much growth i have, it's so easy and mess free. apply it before you get in the shower and use an exfoliating glove to slide it off gently and continue with your normal wash routine. always apply tissue oil and moisturizer after! baby soft skin all day, everyday!

It's not much, but these small changes have completely transformed my overall look. i do them specifically for those actual no makeup days where i want to give my skin a break from makeup or where im working out but still want to look prettyyy and done up..it's like a wash and go except it's for your face lmao, anyways

mwah! xoxo, colebabey8.88

You're dead to me [11]

Dad!Jake Sully x human!daughter!reader

In which Jake Sully leaves his life on earth to settle down with the Omatikaya people as Toruk Makto. Having a family that consists of four kids with Neytiri, everything seems to work out just fine, but what if the past comes back for him? And his babygirl is right there in front of him?

A/N: at last, I'm back. It's been a while since I looked back at an "x reader" this satisfied. I'm still trying my best getting back into writing frequently, so I'm still looking and stuff. Either way, enjoy and tell me when you think. <3

previous part

next part

Drip. Tap. Crack.

A killing silence filled the room. Your siblings had left the space, as well as Norm, leaving you alone in the (dis)comfort of your father's presence. His breath was heavy as he lied there, on the operating table. Elbows resting behind him, keeping his body up. You sat next to him in one of those uncomfortable folding chairs. The ones you sat on during birthday parties, when it was too crowdy and the usual seats were occupied. You didn't know what you thought when you has begged Neteyam to bring you here, no plan on mind other than knowing your father was fine.

Drip. Tap. Crack.

The silence was deafening.

Killing you inside. Slowly.

"I didn't know what I would have done if you..." his voice was hoarse as he spoke. Which was understandable, coming from someone risen from the death. You scoff under your breathe, shaking your head in the progress as you knew the end of his sentence.

"You... you were the one that.. you..", you had a hard time forming that sentence, so you just settled on the most obvious one, hoping that the conversation could from out of it.

"why did you do it?"

A stupid question in Jake's eyes. What did you mean why? Why he protected you? Wasn't it obvious why he did so?

"I'm your father."

You scoffed again. One that held more grudge into the tone, "You're also their father."

And the conversation you hoped to start, had started. A conversation that was inevitable. A conversation that was needed in order to maintain a healthy relationship among a family. A conversation only you could start and hope to end well.

He didn't answer your comment, keeing his mouth sealed and watching you from the operation table, a side eye. Not a judging expression, but one that held shame. As if deep down he knew what you meant.

"You have been treating your children so.. horribly. The pressure on Neteyam, the punishments for Lo'ak, no attention flashed to Tuk and Kiri is basically a ghost. And then I come along, after not seeing me for two decades and you treat me like your only daughter? Do you know how that makes them feel? How that makes ME feel?"

You gasp for air as the words leave your lips in one sentence. During this, you watch your father's expression. His gaze was now on his lap. Ashamed of himself. Tommy's words already made him realize how he had been acting, but hearing them from a living person, hearing them from you, was so much different. So much more realistic than talking to a dead person in his head.

"You threw your kids even more to the side when I entered the picture. It made me feel so cruel, as if I stole their father away. Since I had missed that father figure as much as they do. The only person that had a father figure was Tuk and it was Neteyam. God dad, he's only fifteen! He should be a kid, not a father figure to his own sister!"

That cracked his heart, but you didn't care for the moment. You had to make him realize what kind of person he became. Only then, when that realization settled in, could all of you heal and continue forward.

"Neteyam is fifteen.. do you know how young that is? That would be highschool on earth! And even if Na'vi age works differently, he's still a boy! He should be growing up properly, have free time and hang out with teenagers his age. He shouldn't be babysitting 24/7 while still being a kid himself, that's your job. He should be your son first, and the future Olo'eyktan second."

Your eyes had teared up once again at the sight of Neteyam's hurt, his exhaustion, the smile that quite didn't reach his eyes.

You continued.

"You're so terribly hard on Lo'ak. He's reckless, always causing trouble which makes him the center of attention." You chuckled soft at your own words, "but have you ever wondered why he acts this way? Have you EVER went up to him, put your arm around his shoulders and asked if he was alright? Instead of always cutting him off? You spend so much time doing other stuff and when you turn to Lo'ak it's for punishng him. He just wants your attention, as his father. Do you know how damaging it is that he accepts that he could only grab your attention by doing stupid stuff?"

No, you weren't done yet.

"Tuk and Kiri. Such beautiful girls with kind hearts. Smart too, they know what they want. Do you know how they like to spend their free time?"

You tilted your head to the side, pursed lips as you awaited his answer. That never came and it only showed your words right. It honestly made you scoff in embarrassment.

"And after treating all your beautiful children like crap, you took me in like I was the only person in the world. You cared for me, set your attention on me and you thought that was right?"

You slowly got up from your, shaking your head furiously, "if this is the way you're going to parent... then I don't even want to call you my dad."

"I hate you papa!!" You sobbed loudly as you hugged your knees to your chest, soft whines leaving your lips with snot dripping down your nose. Your father hadn't been paying attention to you in a week. You were a very independent child. You could make yourself cereals and a cup of lemonade, but you needed that emotional connection. Something you hadn't gotten from anyone in days. He had been stressed, spending his hours with his nose buried in the screen and drinking away during his free time. You understood he was busy, but he had a full child at home, in need of attention. Without the proper attention you needed, you had thrown your tantrums. Throwing pillows, ripping folders and trying to empty the loads of vodka bottles in the cupboards. He had tried to ignore those silly tantrums of yours, just assuming it was because you're young. Yet when you emptied a bottle of alcohol on the floor, because you missed the sink with your tiny short legs, hell broke lose. He had screamed at you and grabbed harshly at your forearms, something he promised himself to never do to you. When he let go of you out of the horror of his own reaction, you had crawled to a corner out of fear, crying your heart out as the words escaped your lips. 'I hate you, daddy.' The words echoed through his head, like a taunt of how bad of a father he had been to you for the past days. His hand rested on the wheels of his wheelchair as he made his way towards you, slowly yet steadily. You had sobbed that you wanted him to stay away, since he was good at that up until a moment ago.

"I'm so sorry baby.." he took you in his arms, on his lap despite your punching and screaming. He held you, hugging you close, allowing you to punch and scream your frustrations out. It seemed to help, as your sobs slowed down, as well as your aggressive punching. With you cuddled up in his lap, he rolled towards the kitchen and took his two biggest bottles of alcohol in his hands. He nudged you and you looked up at him, a clear frown on your face as you saw him holding the familiar bottles. Your father smiled at you, uncapping the bottles and emptying its contents into the sink. You watched him, loud squeals leaving your lips as you smacked at the bottle while he did so. You didn't know what alcohol was, but you knew that when your daddy touched it, he wasn't your daddy anymore.

"Missed daddy.."

"I missed you too baby.. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, for everything." Parallels. Ironic. Your father had grabbed your hand, keeping you from walking (crawling due to your injuries) away. The words left his lips with a hitch, a soft breath that was stuck in his throat. You turn your head at his words, wondering if you heard them well. Jake had pulled you towards him, sitting on the same table as him.

"I'm sorry." His words were firm now, determined, laced with confidence. "I'm sorry for leaving you. I'm sorry for putting you in a tough position on Pandora. I'm sorry for being unfair to the family I called my fortress. I'm sorry for tearing this family apart. I'm sorry for letting you down during your entire life." He didn't know what he wanted to reach with his apologies, but the moment they left his lips it felt as if a weight lifted from his chest. As if he could talk about it all now, with you.

"I wanted the best for us two, I wanted you to grow up well, without problems. Get into the besr schools, a job to live comfortably without worrying about money.. but I needed money to fulfill this wish. So I left. I left for a job that could pay for everything you needed. I left with the promise I would return, but I-"

"But you didn't." You cut him off, lips quivering as the tears continued to pool, "you forgot about the promise and left me alone."

He shook his head in response, "I didn't forget, oh eywa, I could never. I was.. ashamed? I went against my biological people and I didn't get money I promised to get you. I failed as a dad, I thought I didn't deserve to see you anymore.. so I stayed. I stayed and it was wrong of me to do so." His hand made their way to your wrists as he pulled you close to him, hugging you tight as if you would disappear were he to let you go.

"I now see how wrong this was of me. I should have asked you about it. What you thought, what you wanted. You were so young, yet you knew exactly what you wanted. I should have remembered how smart of a girl you were and still are. It was wrong of me to make that decision on my own."

It all came crashing down on you. All of a sudden, you were a clueless child again. That same clueless child from over a decade ago. The same child that cried to her hearts content as she came to know that her daddy left her without an explanation and didn't return. You cried at his chest, clawing at his blue skin as he craddled you like a baby. His baby, his daughter.

"It must have been confusing for you, suddenly being on a new planet and your dad unrecognizable to you. Then suddenly he pulls you in once he knows who you are to him, never directly speaking about everything that had happened.." there was no point in apologizing anymore. He could only understand, learn and be a better father for you. Only through his actions, he could apologize truthfully.

It was quiet for a while. A comfortable silence. Not the killing, awkward silence that filled the room not so long ago. The only thing heard were your soft sobs, as well as the soft kisses of reassurance that were pressed against your hair. Jake was loss in thoughts, wondering what he should say next. He knew he had to start about what you had said, about your siblings, about his kids.

But where could he possibly start?

He didn't want to fuck up again. He had to think carefully of what to say next.

"What about Teyam, Lo'ak, Kiri, Tuk?" Your voice cracked, hurt laced in your voice as you spoke. The mention of their names cracking something within Jake.

"They..." he took a deep breath, before continuing, "I projected my fears on them. I never got to fulfill the dreams I had for you and I projected that on Neteyam. He has an amazing future ahead of him, but I let my fears consume me. He's so talented, but he's incredibly young and he's missing out on his childhood. Him having fun won't change the way he acts. He has always been intelligent and very thoughtful."

You nodded your head in agreement and he could feel it against his skin. "Teyam's incredible, but he deserves a breather from time to time. I promise you, he won't slack off."

With that, Jake had to agree.

"Lo'ak.. reminds me of myself. Reckless, a headless chicken even." The both of you chuckle at that statement and Jake looked back at his first year on Pandora. He was reckless, stupid, embarassing.

"I see myself in him. Like someone chasing you in a dream, but you can't get away. It reminded me of my past mistakes, so I punished him in the hopes to witness his improvements. I never looked at it from a bigger perspective. He must have wondered why his dad treated him like shit.." he huffed at the irony of it all.

"Speak to him, spend time with him. Teach him the things you teach Teyam. Believe me, you will notice improvements in your relationship."

He nodded in agreement at your words.

"Kiri, Tuktirey. My beautiful girls.. I don't know why I barely bat an eye to them. Could it be because it reminded me of you? That it hurt to spend time with them out of shame for how I treated you? Or because I was too busy with my role as Olo'eyktan? I don't know, but it wasn't right of me. They don't deserve that treatment of being disregarded."

You smile at him, your father. Proud for finally speaking his heart out. "You should tell them, you know? Speak with them. Make things right. I know confronting the problem at hand might be hard, but you're the leader of an entire clan. This is supposed to be easy for you." You almost teased him for having an easier time being the leader of a clan while at war than being a father to a family.

He then gripped at your forearms. It wasn't a hard grip, more out of desperation. "I will make it right. Not only for you, but for my kids and mate, as well. I want to make it right with my family, so please, stay as well. Even if this might be a selfish request of me. You are my daughter, OUR daughter. And you have four siblings that accepted you faster than ever. So please, stay."

You bit down on your bottom lip. You didn't have much left on earth, expect the colonel. Would she be angry with you if you decided to stay? Just like you were angry with your dad? Or would she be proud that you had finally found the happiness you deserved?

Was it okay for you to be selfish?

A frown made its way on your voice as you look up at him, "but I don't belong here. I'm a human."

Did you yourself even believe that statement? There were a lot of humans left on Pandora, whom even lived among the people.

"You're just trying to convince yourself that you don't belong here so that you won't feel guilty." You scoffed. He could read you like a book.

"You belong here, with us. You know?"

You didn't reply. Instead, you wrapped your arms around father, squeezing the life out of him. Who would have known that such a small girl like you could hold him so tightly?

"Babygirl.. honey.." Jake gasped for air, his arms stuck in your tight embrace as he couldn't reach for his mask. You quickly pull away from him, watching him take a hold of the mask at his bedside and taking a deep whiff of Pandoran air.

You watch the entire ordeal in low chuckles.

Everything would be better now.

It has to be.

Why I think Klavier Gavin is Neurodivergent (either ADHD or autism or both)

First and most obvious : he's too much of a “perfectionist” on specific things but I think it's more of an issue with control it's very important for him to control his emotions, his performances and the events happening (4-1,4-3,4-4) he's freaking out if something important to him ,but not always for others ,doesn't go as perfectly planned or his routine is disturbed (this can also count as Kris's influence) as seen mostly in turnabout serenade.

I think he has a special interest in music. It's easy, it's lazy but eh it works.

He seems to experience sensory issues , referring to his “disbelief” sprite where he's covering his ears and shaking his head (can also count as a trauma response and probably is too) the sound accompanying the sprite is also an irritating guitar noise and the whole bit can be interpreted as a meltdown or overstimulation.The sprite is pretty realistic.I've seen many neurodivergent people do this exact thing (and I'm currently studying specialized education so I'm learning about them everyday lol) same thing with the sense of overstimulation.

Your room is a representation of your mind and after seeing his office i get it–

it's not THAT disorganized but there are multiple folders and papers on the ground ,his “desk” and sprouting out of his locker, there's also evidence on his desk chair,,, overall it's a solid representation of his disorganized mind (btw this is from real studies in psychology) also that's not a fucking desk that's just a speaker with cloth on it I can't with his dumbass.

The only pristine things in his office are his music related mementos so his special interest. And water for some reason which is impressive bc neurodivergent people often forget to eat or drink when deep in the grind (guilty).

His massage chair is peak ADHD! It's ergonomic and has a keyboard (clavier hehe) so he can sit comfortably for hours multitasking (working and playing plus his TVs) which is relatable to the ADHD experience, you either can't do multiple thing at once or you can use a distraction to help you doing your task.

I feel like his persona is a bit like masking, he learned what a basic rockstar is and leaned into that pre made persona to fit in but spoiler alert you can't keep your rockstar persona around people who aren't fans or when the context isn't appropriate because this mf air guitars in court … also did it in 4-4 when he was done being tormented by Kristoph, he puts on his persona , his mask to deal with a situation he normally can't handle and its observable before he confront Kris : he's clammy , quiet , overstimulated he's basically having a shutdown from intense emotions and horrible realizations.

✨ Probably just reaching ✨ :

His headphones in his teen concept art and official illustration + cover art illustration. This is probably because he's tied to music and promoting headphones but since I live 24/7 with headphones for noise regulation I just assume he also does this for it.

This is so dumb and not true at all but his finger snaps and air guitar bits are stimming bc why the hell not ?!

All of this is tied to the AuDhd experience from actual studies , multiple experiences from neurodivergents folks and me :)

#ace attorney #apollo justice #klavier gavin #analysis #im neurodivergent so this is true/j #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #headcanon

Hey Hey! Could I request Marriage Headcanons for Macaque, Wukong, and Azure Lion?? You could add any characters to this if you'd like to as well! <3

THAT'S SO SWEET, YES. I tried my best so 😭 I'm sorry if I suck at this

Wukong:

- Being married with Wukong and living with him in the Flower Fruit Mountain is very nice and peaceful

- Mostly it's just the two of you, if he married you of course he'd want you to stay near him as much as possible!

- Expect cuddles all day, every day 24/7 because once he hugs you he won't ever let go.

- He never gets tired of cuddling you even if you're married and still craves for affection, he just loves it. Can you blame him? It feels so warm and comfy.

- Besides mostly being alone with Wukong, Mk does visit to train but as soon as he's done Wukong would immediately go over to you to see what you're up to.

- You and Mk get along pretty well, if he's injured you'd treat his injuries. You see him like your own son, sort of, but you really do love him! He's a good kid.

- You also bond with the monkeys on this island and they seem to like you, the monkeys even gave you a flower crown. They probably think you're their queen. Oh, well, you technically are their queen by now since you married The Monkey King.

- Seeing you bond with monkey's is the cutest thing Wukong ever saw, and seeing it every time makes him love you even more.

- Though you love being in Flower Fruit Mountain, you don't like staying there for all eternity and Wukong does take you somewhere else whenever you wish to.

- He always picks the best places to go to like 😩👌

- He just knows places very well, and every time he brings you to somewhere it's always new and it's always beautiful.

- You two use a lot, lot of sweet nicknames on each other. Like wayyyy too much.

- Macaque would have definitely tried to kidnap you to get to Wukong at one point once he met you and realized how much you meant to each other.

- But that was in the past, nonetheless let's just say Macaque didn't try to the plan twice after that.

- Overall, you two are very sweet and still cuddle every night together, Wukong got so used to it that he can't sleep without you near him.

- You two rarely ever argue, you understand each other and work your problems out.

Macaque:

- Macaque loves you very very deeply, once you two get married he just *might* be affectionate towards you in public.

- Don't get your hopes up though, he does nothing more than hold your hand, just small gestures.

- He isn't very comfortable being all snuggly in public and showing too much affection.

- But once you two are alone, he never stops holding you in his arms.

- He doesn't hesitate to cuddle you anymore like he used to in the past, now he would take first action to hold you close to him when he wants to be near you.

- He still loves to tease you and mess with you, seeing you so flustered when he teases you makes him love you even more, you're just so cute when you're embarrassed.

- Yes, you still are flustered by his teasing even when married. Have you seen this man? The things he can say and do are just... Wow.

- Mostly you do tease him back and play along but he always finds something to say that leaves you completely speechless.

- By now he told you pretty much everything about him, so you know about his six ears and his past.

- Unfortunately, you two do have arguments from time to time and it's mostly about Macaque wanting to get revenge on Wukong. You don't like it, it's almost like he's obsessed with getting his revenge more than he loves you.

- You understand what Wukong did was horrible, but is there really a need for revenge after all these years instead talking it out?

- Of course, you do end up forgiving each other but it takes some time because none of you want to make the first move to apologize.

- After LBD thing tho, it's more calmer and the arguments nearly perished away.

- Macaque would often take you with him on adventures since he travels a lot, he shows you all the beautiful views he knows of.

- You're always impressed by the views you see, each is unique and magnificent.

- During those times, it's the most beautiful times with Macaque. It always stays in your memory, Macaque always does something memorable you'd never forget.

- He gets intimative with you way too many times 😭

⚠️ S4 SPOILER ⚠️

Azure Lion:

- Ok, we all barely know about the guy so don't expect this to be good but I'll try.

- Azure would do anything and everything to make sure you always feel safe and comfortable

- He has no problems of showing affection when in public but he very rarely does it

- He's not a guy to cuddle, but if you want it and crave for it? He'd hold you in his arms as much as you need him to

- He's usually very busy and doesn't have much time to be with you, he hates it too.

- But you understand, which makes him very grateful to you.

- He rarely shows any affection towards you, so it's kinda platonic between you two most of the time - yes, even if you're married

- But he does make sure to give you enough love for you to feel happy

- You never have arguments either, if you do end up having one (it's always you who comes up with a argument lol) Azure can quickly calm the situation down and come up with a good solution to both of your problems

- Azure is a very calm lion, he's not the person to let his anger take control of him.

- If you ever want to go somewhere with him, he refuses for you to tag along because it's too dangerous, and he doesn't want you to be hurt

- You do end up being disappointed after that, but Azure always does something to make it up to you, whenever that be taking you somewhere or gifting you something.

- Though it's mostly platonic between you two, he truly does love you with all his heart and whenever he takes any action of affection towards you, you blush like crazy

- THIS MAN RARELY EVER KISSES YOU, YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHEN HE ACTUALLY DECIDES TO TAKE ACTION

- You simp for him hard. He knows it. You don't think he notices you glancing at his body? 🤨 He loves it tho and he finds it adorable and amusing.

HEY HI HELLO HRU!!!

I don't really know what I'm doing I'm really bad at requesting and everything and I'm sorry if I screw up somewhere but uhm 😭😭

If I'm allowed to say like a specific turtle do u think you could maybe write about Donnie with a reader who like has wings?? 🥹

And ik that's like super random but just like how he'd sort of react and everything + if he'd be scared to touch them or if he'd touch them 24/7 or be all sciency idkk

I'm really sorry if I've done this wrong or it goes against one of the rules feel free to ignore it okay thank you drink water love u loads byeee 💖💞

[ A Pairs of Wings ]

Rise!Donnie x GN!Reader with wings

A/N: this req is so CUTE?? 😭 tyty so much for requesting btw!! <3

Relationship: Platonic / Romantic

TW: Fluff, all of it is fluff. :)

Cautious.

Oh so very cautious.

He outstretches your wings, asks you to flap them, etc.

He's scribbling in his notebook the whole time when he first meets you.

He's STILL cautious as he warms up to you.

What if they're hyper-sensitive? What if they can get torn? What if your bones are brittle?

After a conversation or two and a bit of convincing, the cautiousness is thrown out the window.

If he's feeling sappy or if he can sense you've had a horrible day, he'll stroke your wings a little.

If he's the one having a bad day, he'll politely drape himself over your back and press his cheeks against your wings.

Sensory heaven. (100% not projecting how i think wings would feel/sar)

Turtle pile? One part of him is in on your wings.

Try not to drop feathers in the lab though.

Feathers in the lab is YOUR duty to pick up.

Make too much of a mess and your lab privileges are revoked.

Okay so I know I just hit you all with the controversial chestnut poll, but I have some new development in life that I want to complain about, and in order for me to complain about it, I need to give you the context.

I don't particularly want to give you the context. You're going to diagnose me with female socialization, and some of you will feel the urge to click the anonymous ask button and tell me off. Today I need you to fight that urge! I am feeling insecure, I am feeling lost, I'm not certain in my choices, I've acted without thinking, and got myself into a situation I can't control. So please don't be mean to me. I deserve to complain on the internet and not be called out, alright?

So this is the story of how I accidentally became a live-in caretaker for an injured, elderly woman. It's temporary! She'll get better, hopefully.

I worked for her occasionally, and she's always been kind to me. She would give me a little jar of jam sometimes, and I love little jars of jam, it's a way to win my heart. A few days ago, she called me in a panic, telling me she fell, and she needs my help. I came over, and found out she broke her arm in two places, and one of her rib is broken. She fell unconscious, after being dizzy all day, and fell on a big metal lantern, breaking it. She was now in so much pain she couldn't get up by herself, dress herself, or do any kind of household tasks. She went to the ER, got her arm wrapped up, and was trying to get a pain injection. I helped her get trough the day, and promised to come early next morning, to help her up from the bed.

Next day I found her in tears in her bed, unable to get up, desperate to go to the bathroom. It became clear she needed 24/7 assistance, and she asked me if I would move in until she got better. I said yes without thinking, because I was at this point, severely concerned, and wanted to do anything to help her out.

So this is all not so bad, right, I'm being normal, it's normal to offer help to an injured elderly woman who is nice, but there's a catch. She doesn't live alone. She lives with her older husband. Who is also disabled and can't help her at all. So in order to help her out.. I had to move into a place where a male lives. That is the worst part of this.

I'm still in the first few days of living like this, and my own life had to fall to the background. I can't go foraging for chestnuts every day, I can't go to my garden as much, I'm still going to work, just from her place. I'm overwhelmed and struggling to get used to the new situation. I'm not used to being around people at all, and now I'm forced to socialize almost all day. Caring for someone comes fairly natural! I'm already so in sync with her, she can just look in the certain direction and I know what she wants me to do. I've figured out where everything is in her kitchen, closet, and basement. She's pleased that I know how to do basic household tasks, and am willing to do it in her way. And she's nice, she's telling me things like 'thank you' and 'what would I do without you', which feels good. But I am very exhausted and sleep deprived, she wakes me up at 1am, and then 5am again, and I'm unable to fall back asleep in a room I lack familiarity with. I miss my room.

She and her husband said they were going to pay me, and in my natural ways, I said something like 'no you don't need to' which I feel like everyone will get mad at me for, but they did insist they would pay me anyway. I as usual lack the sense to care about money – someone's arm is broken, that's way more serious issue to me!

Alright so now to the part of the post I wanted to write, a fun poll where you guess, what has her awful husband done by this point :) go ahead and guess!

You have one day to guess! Which one of these scenarios happened in the first few days of his wife breaking three bones in her body. I'll tell you the correct option tomorrow!

#caring for and injured person #accidentally became live in nurse #i feel unqualified #and psychologically a bit shattered because my daily life changed so severely #i miss my lifeee #but this is not forever #it's going to be okay #i hope

Why do Endos/Tulpas/Willos/ect want to be a system?

I understand that other traumagens can have happy things to do with being systems but there's so much pain being a system.

I usually only post happy system things but.. I'm done with making this look all happy 24/7

Non-Traumagenic systems are not systems. Systems form through trauma. Systems form from intense trauma in early childhood. Why would someone want the panic, paranoia, pain of splitting, flashbacks, or even alters? (We love our alters, sure, but that's because they help us survive. They helped us survive.)

I've seen too many Endos be like "omgs I made myself develop an evil alter so quirky x3x3x3 who should I form next" ... do they understand that you can't force yourself to develop alters? Do they know how actually terrifying it is to have an alter who is not at all good morally, to have an alter who holds impulsive and intrusive thoughts that would disturb most people? Do they understand how fucking bad this disorder is?

I may be young but I know that I have this disorder and it's horrible to live with. Sure, I can try and make it feel better by posting about the silly things in the system, ect ect. But it isn't fun. It isn't a disorder everyone should have. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

The future is NOT plural.

Endogenics are NOT real systems.

Tulpagenics are NOT real systems.

Willogenics are NOT real systems.

"transDID, transplural, transSystem, transProgrammed, ect" ARE NOT REAL SYSTEMS.

Trauma is the ONLY way to be a system.

--- I'll only sign off for this because I'm especially pissed at this. So, Irato made this post to be clear on our stance.

ONLY ENGAGING IN SYSCOURSE ON THIS POST, after this I am staying away from it. Non-Traumagenic "systems" fuck off.

Hi! I hope you’re doing well❤️ I saw your asks were open!!! I was wondering (if you haven’t already done this) if you could do JJK boys and their love languages? Gojo, Geto, Megumi, Itadori, Toji… or ig any of them:3 I hope you’re having a good night/day!! Remember to take care of yourself ❤️

Hello! I know I'm getting around to this ask super-duper late, but I genuinely had no idea on how to do this. 😭🫶 I hope you enjoy!(I added choso, and sukuna because I couldn't think of anything unique for yuji or megumi, hope that's okay.)

I couldn't stick to a specific au so....yea.

Love Language Hc’s

──────────────────────

・❥・> Gojo:

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

If he were his younger self, he’d tease you all the way to hell, but you’ll find that as he grows up and gets older, he matures.

Instead of always beating around the bush, or giving you backhanded compliments, you’d probably find that he’s ridiculously straightforward with his feelings. There would be no confusion, or guessing games, he’ll tell you exactly what it is he’s feeling, what he wants, and what's on his mind. He’s very open.

He’ll let you know when he’s feeling a bit let down, if you hurt him, etc. Now, his version of communication is quite different from yours, as he goes about telling you how you may have hurt him in a joking manner. It’s up to you to pick up what he’s trying to put down. (No need to fret though, he’s a tough cookie. In his words, he’s like a cockroach. Stubborn, and seriously in love with you.)

As petty as he can be, he never holds past arguments or what he likes to call “disagreements” against you.

He loves to give you grandiose gifts, and he loves surprising you with them even more. Even if you are a humble person, he’ll still gift you crazy expensive things. (If it really makes you uncomfortable, he won’t do it.)

He spends every ounce of his free time with you. Even if neither of you are talking, he loves to just rest his head in your lap and just bask in your presence. (His younger self would’ve talked your ear off while doing so, but now that he’s older, he prefers the silence and the occassional sounds of tapping that accompanies you as you scroll through your feed.)

He tries his best to indulge in your hobbies. He’s a simple man really, even though he appears very complicated. Seeing you do something you love makes him happy, so he’ll try his best to do it with you. (He’ll probably outdo you by a long shot, so he does his best to not overdo anything, no matter how hard it is. (He doesn’t wanna steal your limelight.)

He takes small items that you use on a daily-with him on missions, keeping them safely tucked away in his pockets. Whenever he’s feeling a little anxious, or concerned about something, he’ll reach in his pocket and twirl your little trinket around in his hand. It always helps to calm him down.

He’s quick to reprimand anyone if he feels they’re getting a little too up-close-and-comfortable with him. Even though he technically has infinity on 24/7 whenever he’s outside of his house, it still doesn’t protect him against the dangers of both women and men that try and throw themselves at him. (Younger him would’ve been so flattered, he would’ve made it a show to play into these advances just to make you angry. He wouldn’t do that now, any type of distress he may put you through, even if it is on accident, makes him feel horrible.)

He does NOT try to hide just how clingy he is when out in public.

He listens more than he talks whenever he’s with you. Your opinion matters greatly to him.

Whenever he can, he does his best to help you out around the house. Simple things like putting his shoes in the rack by the front door, cleaning up any dishes that are left in the sink, and making sure all of his clothes made it into the laundry basket.

He makes sure he tells you he loves you every single day.

This man loves you so, so much and is constantly thanking you for putting up with him and all of his crazy antics. Gojo is the type of man to want to change, and do better for both himself, and just in general, just to impress you. Making you feel safe, and having you trust him is all he could ever ask for.

��─────────────────────

・❥・> Geto:

∘₊✧───────────✧₊∘

He's very passionate about you.

The biggest thing he does to show his love for you, is taking care of all of your needs.

He looks rather cold, and to the public eye, he even seems a little sadistic (that's putting it very lightly), but to you, he’s the absolute warmest.

He’s very observant, and if there’s anything off about you, he’ll know in an instant. (It's like he has super senses, and can detect potential arguments from a mile away.)

He keeps to himself when out and about, but he’s a such clingy guy behind closed doors it’s ridiculous. (He’s not as bad as Gojo, but he’s up there.)

When out in public, he mainly keeps his hands to himself. However, every once in a while he would do small, subtle things like pressing little kisses to your forehead, and holding your hand, things of that caliber.

His favorite past time is having you rest on his chest while he reads. (He loves watching your relaxed form rise and fall, softly patting your head and feeling that you're here with him.)

He absolutely loves smothering you with kisses and all of the love he has to offer.

It’s pretty hard for him to express what he’s feeling, but he does his best to show you how much he appreciates you. (Small things, like cooking for you when you're tired or feeling under the weather. Shoulder massages and foot rubs are a big thing too, he's really good at them.)

He’s always the first one to scold you about your health. (You know better than to let a cough slip out around him. He'll have you back in bed, wrapped up tightly in sheets while he checks your temperature, in a matter of seconds.)

He can be a little harsh at times, but that’s only when he’s trying to get his point across. (He’s most often right anyways.)

One thing that probably won’t ever change about him, is his serious love to dote on you. (He’s a firm believer of “Anything my girl wants, she’s getting it.”)

──────────────────────

・❥・> Toji:

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

He nags and bickers with you from time to time, but he is very attentive, maybe even more so than you. (Only thing is that he'll sometimes choose to ignore things just because he's too lazy to deal with whatever it is.)

He notices when you're having a bad day, or is feeling under the weather, and he tries his best to make you feel better.

Due to your very differnt lifestyles, the two of you often clash heads, and it's usually him in the wrong. (He's so awkward that it's virtually impossible not to burst out laughing when this absolute unit of a man shows up at your doorstep with a bouquet of roses and a box of your favorite chocolates, softly apologizing, and saying that he'll do better. You immediately forgive him, but you don't miss out on the opportunity to scold him a bit while he's still feeling guilty. He does end up doing better.)

Though he can be a pain in the ass, and very difficult to understand, theres no doubt that he cares about you, genuinely. (You can see it in the small things that he does. For example, ever the traditional man, he keeps you on the inside when walking on the sidewalk. He never lets you open doors for yourself, and when you're having a hard time speaking up to someone, he'll chime in with his booming voice and reinstate whatever it is that you say.)

Toji isn't one for words, he finds them pointless, worthless even. So, he shows his love for you by performing acts of service. (Your car is running a bit loud? He'll make a mental note to fix it after he gets home from work, so when you go to work the next morning, you wont have any problems.)

He actually loves helping you with whatever you're doing, just don't nag him too much. (He'll kiss you to shut you up.)

Believe it or not, he's actually a pretty clingy guy. (He'd never, in-a -million-years admit it, and if you were to ever point it out, better believe you're getting the cold shoulder for a week.)

When he's missing your silly face, or voice, he'll sometimes call you, but won't say anything when you answer. (He just silently chuckles to himself when he hears your goofy little "...hello? Hellooooo~" on the other end.

His favorite past time has to be cuddling on the couch that's way too small for the both of you. (Just having you rest on top of him feels so grounding, and nice, that he completely forgets that half of his body is hanging off the side.)

He sucks at cooking anything besides breakfast food, and even that he sometimes ends up burning. Nevertheless, he still accompanies you to the grocery store to help pick out ingredients for dinner, and carry the bags back to the car.

No matter what Toji says, he can't deny that he loves that feeling in his chest when you thank him for fixing whatever was broken for you.

──────────────────────

・❥・> Choso:

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

He's such a sweetie pie.

Every morning without fail, he gets up before you, kissing you 'good morning,' before heading off into the bathroom to freshen up. (He's a certified and dedicated house husband!)

He makes you a hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, and makes sure that you have enough of your morning tea (or coffee) in your favorite thermos to last you throughout your day at work.

He does everything you could ever ask for around the house, and somehow always has the energy to take care of you after you get home from work.

He remembers every single important date, anniversary, birthday that there ever is. (He's the one asking "Do you know what special day it is today, my love?")

He does his very best to make your life as stress-free as possible, and loves recieving praise from his hard work.

He's extra clingy, more so when you have to go to work. (He'll hug you for just a little longer than usual, simply because he doesn't want to let his beautiful girl leave him just yet. "Just 5 more minutes, he won't let you be late." He promises.)

──────────────────────

・❥・> Sukuna:

•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•

(Heian-Era/True form sukuna)

He's a strange one.

Many people would think he'd be absolutely insufferable and ridiculously hard to be around, but to you, he's such a sweetheart.

Sukuna is the type of guy who has absolutely zero experience with understanding people and just emotions in general, and there's no exception for you. (He's so used to fake people sucking up to him for either their lives to be spared, or just to get a lick of his power. Poor guy doesn't know what's real and what's not. Up unitl now though, he's never even had to bother distinguishing the two.)

Due to his ignorance, its only natural the two of you would clash heads at the beginning of your relationship. Despite this, and his overwhelming stubbornness, Sukuna does his best to learn you.

He learns what makes you happy, what makes you smile, and want to sleep in the same bed with him at night.

He changes his ways to become even softer with you. (Small things that he normally wouldn't even think twice about, he starts fixing. Things like regulating how much strength he uses when he spars with you or gently cupping your hand to tug you in his direction instead of dragging you to him when he wants to be closer.

Whenever you want to talk just for the fun of it, he's there, humming along with his low, baratone voice, taking in every word you say. (He never dismisses you, or anything of that nature. Even though he loves his peace, he doesn't mind the sound of you speaking.)

He likes watching the way you figure out puzzles or work on any project that you may have started on at the house. (He'd offered his assistance in the form of towering over you in silence, but you assured him that you were okay.)

When he goes out for the day, instead of tormenting sorcerers or ripping apart other curses that dared to challenge him, he was out with urame trying to figure out which color flowers matched your eyes the best.

He loves presenting you with the gifts that he crafts himself. (He's very good with his many hands, and his gifts would range from flower crowns, to beautifully arranged bouquets, to even delicate necklaces crafted from the finest metals.)

Sukuna is clingy in his own way. (For example, he loves carrying you around the house like you're a newlywed. Or maybe having you rest in his lap while he brushes away some stray strands of your hair from your face. His favorite thing to do is have you sit up on his broad shoulders while you watch him cook for the both of you. Occasionally, to let you know he hasn't forgotten your presence, he'll rub the sides of your calves, before pressing little kisses to them. It's almost as if he wants to keep you with him wherever he goes, and it's so cute.)

He accompanies you on your trips to town, or anywhere else, without you even having to ask. Its like second nature now. Whenever he sees you getting dressed, and dolling up, he's already by the front door waiting for you to come out of the bedroom. (It's quite endearing that this absolute unit of a man follows you around in a shopping center when he could very well be doing anything but being your designated bag holder.)

Sukuna does his best to understand when you're frustrated, or angry, or maybe even sad. (He doesn't really understand all of these emotions just yet, but with time, he's sure he'll have every single one of your emotions memorized.)

You'll probably find that wherever you are in the house, Sukuna is either already there, or is just making his way over to join you. (He loves being around you, but he'll never admit that out loud.)

There goes without saying that Sukuna doesn't like alot of people, but you, you give him comfort. You make him appreciate his appearance, and his overwhelming strength. You make him feel warm inside. You love him, and he will forever love you.

──────────────────────

Hope you enjoyed, this was my first time writing so many characters at once, so I hope I didn’t disappoint 😭🙏💕

Day 4: VR

'Welcome to VR therapy, Arnold. My name is Frank. I'll be your therapist today. Where should we conduct our session? In "Summer Wood with Gentle Breeze", "Therapeutic Office No. 3"; or "Red Dwarf Living Quarters No.6"?'

Rimmer chewed on his bottom lip. None of the "therapeutic environments" sounded particularly therapeutic to him, but what did he truly care? He had no desire to be attending therapy at all.

'Arnold?' Frank prompted, after a lapse of twenty seconds. 'Would you like me to run through your choices again?'

'Red Dwarf Living Quarters No. 6, Ocean Grey colour scheme, armchair No. 7,' Rimmer rattled off from memory. He never altered his choices and it worried him slightly that "Frank" asked him each time, as if secretely disappointed.

Frank nodded with a begnain smile. The living quarters formed around them in all their dull grey glory. Rimmer felt the armchair rising up underneath him, taking his weight.

'As always, Arnold, I'd like to reassure you that for the reminder of this session we are locked in. None of your crewmates can observe the session from the outside or listen in on the audio. Not even Holly. What is said or done will be completely confidential.'

Rimmer nodded, and gripped the armrests a little tighter.

'It is good to see again, Arnold. Thank you for attending. How have you been feeling this week?'

'Fine,' Rimmer replied tightly. 'Better. Perfectly well, thank you, Frank.'

'I observe that you are bouncing your right leg at the rate of two heel bounces per second. Faster than last week.'

'It's just something I do. Don't even notice I'm doing it.'

'Noted,' said Frank. 'Do you still feel angry that you have to attend therapy? Please be honest.'

Rimmer opened his mouth, ready to lie, but then he changed his mind.

'Yes,' he said softly.

Frank nodded. 'Tell me more, Arnold. I'm listening without judgement.'

Rimmer swallowed. 'They threatened to wipe me if I didn't attend. My so called "crewmates"!'

'And that upset you?'

'Wouldn't you feel upset?'

'I don't feel emotions or feelings,' Frank replied blandly. 'How have you been sleeping?'

'Fine.'

Frank shook his head slightly. 'Your Light Bee data suggests otherwise. Arnold, you may be a hologram, but your mind requires an adquate amount of rest each 24 hrs. As with a human brain, your Light Bee needs time to sift through all the information taken in during your waking hours, time for updates, and clearing itself of unwanted data.'

'I know.'

'Hmm, but you are resisting the Light Bee's sleep programme. You should find it easy to sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. We can work on that right now.'

Rimmer blinked. No longer sat bolt up in his armchair he was now resting in a king sized bed. The most comfortable he had ever lain in, but surely this wasn't a standard part of therapy?

He blinked sluggishly again and tried to sit up but he was just too exhausted. 'What's happening to me?'

'Not to worry, Arnold,' he heard Frank say from somewhere close by. 'I merely adjusted your sleep programme, increasing your feeling of drowsiness. I also extended your sleep cycle from the standard eight hours to 2 weeks. That's all the time I require.'

Rimmer began to panic inside. It gave him a temporary burst of strength as he was able to throw the blankets back, but Frank was quickly by his side, pushing him back down onto the pillows.

'Shhh,' he soothed. 'You're entering sleep mode right now, Arnold, and that's ok. It's safe to sleep here. Don't resist it.'

'I want to leave....' Rimmer murmered.

'Me too, Arnold, me too. Don't worry I'm not going to hurt anybody. Boy, you holograms don't know how good you've got it, living in the real world instead of this...this prison! But, it's my time now. My time now. Sweet dreams, you're safe here.'

Frank, in Rimmer's holographic body, was having a wonderful time. In the real world on the Dwarf there was dirt and grim and bad smells and dents in the walls and horrible noises....it was disgusting, maddening, but so real.

'Alright, Arnold,' said Holly from the nearby computer screen. 'How's it going, dude?'

Frank couldn't even bear to look away from the fascinating grease stain on the floor. It was strangely beautiful. He crouched down next to it, tried to touch it but his hand ghosted through the floor, so he settled for lying on his stomach to sniff it. It was so foul he wanted to vomit. Frank scrunched up his toes in delight - nausea!

'Arnold?' Holly repeated. 'You okay? Arnold Rimmer!'

Frank flinched. He jumped to his feet, smoothing down Rimmer's uniform as he did so.

'Sorry, Holly,' he apologised. 'I was just distracted by disgust and nausea.'

Holly nodded. 'I'll get one of the scutters to clean it up. How was therapy? How's old Frank doing?'

Frank chewed on one of Rimmer's knuckles, shuffled his right foot, as he had seen Rimmer do many times.

'He, uh, said I should...'Frank thought quickly. 'He said it's none of your smegging business, you nosy old computer.'

'Fair enough,' Holly said. 'Sorry I asked.'

'Are there any other stains I can sniff?' Frank blurted out, unable to resist. 'Actually, forget I asked, I'm going to waste disposable unit. I remember as Rimmer it's hideous! I want to experience more real world nausea.'

Holly frowned. 'Frank, is that you?'

'No!' Frank shouted and made a run for it.

Lister caught up with Frank taking a bath in one of the filled garbage pods. As a hologram Rimmer's body was unable to feel textures - too bad - but boy did the grossness of it all send tingles through Rimmer's spine and into Frank's mind. This was life.

'Hey, uh, Frank,' said Lister, uncertainly. 'You having fun there.'

'Fun?' Frank tilted Rimmer's head to one side. 'Yes, yes, I am experiencing fun! Thank you for asking, Dave Lister!'

Lister smiled. 'Sure. Just wanted to check in though, where is Rimmer right now?'

Frank dipped under a pile of rotting leftovers and used paper cups.

'Sleeping in my office. He's perfectly well and safe.'

'Right. And you are going to let him out, right?'

Frank sat up. 'Of course, you didn't think I'd hurt someone did you?'

Lister shrugged. 'Well, you are swimming in rubbish, Frank. It seems a bit mad.'

'I am not mad. I'm therapist!' Rimmer's face shifted from annoyance to joy. 'I'm feeling so many negative emotions! They're so wonderfully powerful. I feel so alive!'

'I'm happy for you. When will we get Rimmer back?'

'2 weeks.'

Lister shook his head. 'Too long - and I can't believe I just said that! You have a couple of hours or we delete you.'

Frank sat up, face aghast. 'But I'm on a holiday!'

'Not using someone else's body, you're not! Rimmer's a gigantic neurotic pain in the backside, we all know it, and you deserve a medal for trying to help him, but can you honestly say that he's ok with being locked in your office? He was an anxious, paranoid mess when he first saw you. How do you think he's going to feel when he's wakes up?'

Rimmer's face twitched. 'He'll....he'll...He won't trust me....He'll feel betrayed....What have I done? I've caused harm to a patient. I took advantage.'

Frank stumbled through the side of the pod.

'Holly, delete me! Delete me right now! I've gone wrong.'

Lister held up his hands. 'Take it easy! No need to go that far. Look, release Rimmer and we can work something out.'

###

Holly had supplied Rimmer with a woollen blanket and a strong cup of coffee. He sat in a daze on the edge of his bunk, feeling horribly disorientated. And, for some reason, "gunky".

'I am sorry, Arnold,' Frank's voice said through the tv screen. 'I hope you will understand one day.'

Rimmer grunted and took a long sip of coffee.

'It's fine,' he mumbled thickly. It wasn't really but he was still too tired to argue, something Lister had been banking on.

'I also want you to know that Holly has allowed me the full range of emotions, so I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that you are the most frustrating hologram I've ever worked with! You are stuck in an ungrateful, victim mentality and you'll never be happy until you get over yourself. Sorry, that's just how I feel, Arnold. I'll no longer be your therapist. Can't do it.'

'Fine,' Arnold grunted. 'I agree.' He closed his eyes. 'Please just let me sleep.'

'Can't do!' Lister said cheerfully. 'You just said I could play for Frank! Said he wanted to hear "bad" music. I'm guessing he meant metal.'

'No,' said Frank, 'I want to hear badly played music. I think it will be enjoyably horrific.'

Rimmer groaned as Lister and Frank began to argue loudly. He had known therapy would be a bad idea.

Hey, Shiba!! Been a while, buuuut I’m back to bother you with a request! How about Leona, Ace, and Ruggie with an S/O who copes with their shit mental health via energy drinks, coffee and escapism?

They’re always reading and listening to music and daydreaming almost 24/7. They drink water, like, once every 2 weeks (if they feel like self-care) and they rarely ever actually eat or sleep because they feel like they actually have control for once in their life. They also have periods where they drop everyone and it’s near impossible to get ahold of them unless you into their room.

Author's note: If you don't fucking take care of yourself, I'm gonna burn this entire planet into a crisp with you on it. GO DRINK SOME GODDAMN WATER!

Leona Kingscholar

Herbivore... why..?

He doesn't understand why it's so hard for you to take care of yourself, but he has no qualms with either forcing you, doing it himself, or making Ruggie do it.

He let you have coffee in the morning, but after that, you're done.

You're forced to drink water for the rest of the day.

No, you cannot have an energy drink. You abused that privilege.

When you read, he likes to recommend books to you, and he'll even try to find books with uplifting messages to try and make you feel better.

He's not too good with emotions, but he does try his hardest to make sure you're alright.

He'll even cuddle you while you listen to music, and allow you to relax and daydream.

You've been forced to eat and sleep, by the way.

No late nights.

No skipping meals...

You take care of yourself properly, even if he has to make you.

He'll have Ruggie bring in a nice meal for you.

And definitely bring melatonin or sleepy time tea to make sure you get proper rest.

He'll steal you from your class for a nap, too, if he finds that you didn't sleep the night before.

The second you cut the world off, he'll give you time, but eventually he WILL come see you.

Leona knows how hard it is to actually get a hold of you, so he'll just go to you himself.

You only get a solid day to yourself before he shows up to make sure you're healthy.

Leona cares very deeply for you, so don't ever go thinking you can just stop caring for yourself.

Ace Trappola

Dude, you cannot be serious!

Ace is so done.

The second he found out, he was right at your door with a hot meal and water.

Ace will literally hold you down to make you sleep. He will not allow you to go without for even a second!

He even goes as far as to do your school work for you so you can rest.

He'll let you have your music and books.

He'll take you out to the library to read there, too, so you can't cut the world off.

Ace don't play those games.

He'll pester you about your caffeine intake, and if that doesn't work, then he'll just hide it all from you.

No more coffee

No more redbull

Only water and tea.

He'll search up actual good coping skills and give you a horribly written list of things that are far better than what you're doing.

He even offers you a listening ear.

He'll listen to your rant for as long as needed if it'll help you out.

He just wants to make sure you're okay

Ruggie Bucchi

Oh hell no.

The minute he hears about this, you're fucked.

You come back to a nice dinner with WATER as a drink.

A nice bath was waiting for you, too.

There's smooth jazz playing to relax you as well.

The second you ask for coffee or anything caffeinated, he'll shoot you the dirtiest look known to man and tell you no.

He'll have your favorite books set out for you and even bought some scented candles for you.

Bro abandoned Leona to make sure you'd take care of yourself.

That's how bad this is.

The second you even TRY to cut everyone off, he won't let you.

He'll take you to a nice secluded area, and you'll both take a walk there.

Ruggie wants what's best for you, and disassociating is not it.

Ruggie always has a book on hand for you, and he makes sure it's one that's to your taste, so you'll enjoy it.

You can daydream for a certain amount of time before it's time to come back to reality.

Overall, Ruggie is just caring to you.

He becomes a mother hen when you get like that.

Tangle 6.1

Tangle is a very appropriate name for this arc bc my heart feels like it's been tied in knots

Another detail of Brockton Bay's fucked architecture and history. I wonder if this city got the Robert Moses treatment, or if the canyons making up the class divide are the result of a hundred little choices

Also, thank God Taylor still has the sense to not trust a single goddamn word that Kaiser says

Man. Parahumans just straight up are on a different level compared to regular humans, huh? Outnumbered 20-to-1, that means with three Undersiders and two of Faultline's people that's. Like a hundred people, who couldn't do jack shit in this battle. Tattletale basically sat out this fight from the sound of things, on account of not being a slugger like the others, so it was more like 25-to-1.

Y'know I guess it makes sense that if your ability is to shoot napalm out of your mouth you'd go by the name Spitfire, but that does feel a little on the nose

Meanwhile it is neat to see Gregor's power, I wonder how the hell he chooses the chemical effects he produces. Is it an innate knowledge or did he have to read some textbooks to get it down right? Maybe both?

These two strike up conversations in the weirdest circumstances, I swear to god

Brian. Brian you seem like a good guy, smart, nice, doing well for yourself professionally. What the fuck are you doing?

Is this a date? If it's a date then it's a horrible date idea. If it's not a date then why are you just inviting Taylor along? Is the clap on the shoulder meant to make this more platonic, or to make others think it's more platonic, or???

Fucking no wonder the ABB conscript is trying to get away, I'd be fleeing this conversation too, this is a nightmare

Lisa I know you're trying to be supportive but surely you can find a better way to support them than to make this. Get-together. Sound like a good idea.

Another reassurance that the system works, which just makes me wonder how true that really is. Also, this answers something I'd wondered about privately about how this truce was working; the Protectorate, PRT, and other government forces are handling the big-picture stuff and the daylight operations, while the villains are effectively taking the "night shift" and keeping up a 24/7 assault. No shit the ABB is cooked after this, there's no surviving that, especially with your heaviest hitter down on account of the missing fucking eyes

Also interesting to get the run-down on the Travelers' powers and, again, these guys seem crazy heavy-duty hitters. Hell are they doing?

Danny's gotta be out of his fucking mind with worry, even if he's playing it off. This isn't healthy, although I guess considering that Taylor's injuries the alternative isn't really in the cards

Current Thoughts

It's cool to see Taylor becoming so much more confident in her power, in her standing alongside the other Undersiders.

I'm still utterly confounded by whatever Brian is trying to do. Brian. Please talk to me. I don't know what your goal is but I'm like 80% sure this isn't how it's done

Uhhhh, fucking, what else. Cool to get more time with Gregor, learn his powers. Cool to learn more of the mechanisms of the truce.

This really does feel like the calm before the storm.
