#it's a self care day

I love you everyone in red states right now.

I love you everyone who has family that is/will celebrate a Trump victory.

I love you everyone surrounded by loved ones actively voting against your rights.

If you voted for Kamala, you did everything you could and you should be proud.

All of your frustration and anger is justified, understandable, and fair.

I’m sending you all love and peace.

Bingqiu AU where Luo Binghe's the chosen village sacrifice to the evil deity who lives up the mountain.

Normally the village sends maidens, but they've more or less run out of expendable girls of the right age and, ahem, "virtues". So of course Luo Binghe's early life bad luck kicks in. In the wake of his mother's death there's no one to really care about what happens to him, he's fairly pretty, and the village leaders decide that if they dress him up like a girl the teenaged homeless kid should pass well enough. And hey, y'know, he's probably got a hard life ahead for him anyway -- dying in a brothel of some venereal disease or on the streets of exposure or starvation. At least as a sacrifice, everyone else gets to benefit from his loss! And the kid will get added to a shrine and be remembered as a hero! If anything, he should be happy about this!

Binghe is not happy about this.

But he's also a skinny underfed nobody who is easily overpowered, dressed up like a bride, and tied to a post. So. Not much he can do but wait for the evil deity to come and do whatever horrible thing he's gonna do to him.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan is pretty sure he's been isekai'd into the over-powered hero of some kind of supernatural adventure story? He's not totally sure because he doesn't recognize the setting, but the signs are there. He's got a shrine-like base of operations (though it seems to have become corrupted/ruined, probably he has to restore it somehow), he has a very resilient and handsome new body with spiritual energy of some kind flowing through him, and a very clearly magical sword. Plus lots of neat starter powers! Though it feels like he has other abilities that have been blocked somehow? Probably he has to level up in order to access them.

When he treks out of his "base" and finds what seems to be a distressed maiden, he takes it for his beginner hero mission. The girl claims that she's been doomed to be sacrificed to an evil god. That sounds a little above Shen Yuan's pay grade for dealing with, so he unties her and decides that they had better just get out of the whole region altogether. He already packed up anything useful from his base, anticipating he might get caught up in an adventure once he left, so they follow the river away from the settlement until they reach another one.

While they travel, Luo Binghe tells Shen Yuan about the cursed deity, Shen Qingqiu, who was cast out of the heavens for slaughtering one of his brethren and has apparently being do-who-knows what to maidens from the local village in exchange for his "protection" ever since. Sounds like a real asshole! And also mid-level boss type bad guy at least. Shen Yuan hopes he doesn't have to fight him, but he probably will.

Thank goodness he found Binghe, though! Clearly the helpful little sister type! He's definitely going to require her assistance if he's going to figure out how to navigate this world and level up his skills enough to take on a god.

And all of them matter.

Please don’t relapse because of the election.

Please don’t relapse because of the election.

I know feeling despair and or out of control is one of the biggest triggers out there and this is not an easy pill to swallow.

But continuing to thrive while Trump and his supporters rely on your downfall is the best way to tell them all to go fuck themselves.

It’s okay if you see this too late and you have already relapsed because of the election. Just please try your best to not let the failure in democracy lead to a failure in recovery. Relapse is normal, this election is not.

Please stay safe and stay with safe people. It’s okay to miss work or take off school tomorrow if that is an option. This is emotionally taxing and highly stressful. Take care of yourself. Thriving right now is the best revenge you can get on Trump and republicans.

satoru says you have magic fingers.

it’s not in the lewd, gross way that he jokes about with himself, but a softer, more genuine compliment. on nights when he returns home after a long work day, head throbbing with a dull pain and eyes sore from the day’s activities, satoru comes to bed seeking the touch of your fingertips.

you start with a welcoming kiss on his lips, another few on his cheeks, a light hold around his jawline as your thumbs caress the warm skin beneath. satoru’s leaning into you without a second thought, so that your tender lips may leave another kiss on his forehead, and another, and another. a soft hum as you begin melting away his troubles.

then, you’re pushing away his blindfold—slowly—up and over his head to lay it on the nightstand. the usual glimmer in satoru's eyes is long dead, just a small flicker dulled by all the meetings and exorcised curses from the day. bags have started to form under his eyes. your poor baby.

delicate fingers travel up to take place in frayed, white strands of hair, and you see the stiffness leave satoru's body as he relaxes into your hold. the way you thread through his hair, rubbing over his scalp, squeezing lightly, is enough to rid him of today’s troubles. satoru's eyes ease shut. he whispers out a sigh, and the corners of his lips twitch when you move closer to give his tired eyelids a kiss, too.

the tension is leaving his body in waves, all at your whispered confession: i love you, satoru. and then he leans forward again to steal another kiss from your lips, resting his forehead against yours and snaking both arms around your waist to press you tighter against him. you both lay like this for only a few minutes before he's dozed off. that's all it takes before your enamoured kisses and the soothing touch of your magic fingers put satoru straight to sleep.
