A Call to Action: A Reflection on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone, leaving behind the warmth of family gatherings, shared meals, and moments of gratitude. As I sit with the quiet after the celebration, I find myself reflecting on not just the day itself but the deeper lessons it brought to light. Thanksgiving isn’t just a day on the calendar; it’s a lens through which we can view our lives—our choices, relationships, and…

Alfie sketches 😚

I gave him lore! He was very beloved his whole life, but he’s also too powerful to keep in control so he’s not allowed to leave the hotel 🏨 he doesn’t intuitively have much of a moral compass, but he really looks up to his big sister ♥️

⋆𐙚₊˚ grumpy x sunshine prompts!

holding hands: grumpy always insists they’re not the hand-holding type, but sunshine slips their hand into grumpy’s anyway, and despite the grumbling, grumpy’s grip never lets go.

sick day: grumpy catches a cold and insists they're fine, but sunshine shows up with a blanket, soup, and a movie to keep them company, ignoring all of grumpy's protests and making sure they're well cared for.

late-night talk: grumpy can’t sleep and finds sunshine sitting on the porch. instead of going back inside, grumpy sits down too, reluctantly opening up as sunshine listens, not saying much but offering quiet comfort just by being there.

rain-soaked rescue: sunshine gets caught in a downpour, soaked through and shivering, and grumpy rushes out with an umbrella, grumbling about how sunshine should take better care of themselves while wrapping them in a warm jacket.

grumpy’s soft side: sunshine accidentally finds grumpy’s secret stash of cute little things they’ve kept as mementos - like a doodle sunshine made or a pressed flower from a walk they took together. grumpy tries to act embarrassed, but sunshine can see the fondness in their eyes.

perfect morning routine 💗

1. wake up early (5:30-6:30 am): start the day off with waking up early to make your mornings feel less rushed.

2. hydrate (5 minutes): drink a glass of water to kickstart your metabolism and rehydrate after a night’s sleep.

3. yoga (10-15 minutes): a short yoga session can help loosen muscles and improve blood flow.

4. meditation (5-10 minutes): practicing deep breathing to center your mind and reduce stress for the day ahead.

5. exercise (20-30 minutes): moderate workouts like a jog, bodyweight exercises, or cycling to boost your energy levels and release endorphins.

6. healthy breakfast (20 minutes): aim for a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. (if you take daily vitamins, do it after having breakfast)

7. shower/skin care (15-20 minutes): refresh yourself and do your skincare routine.

8. daily intentions/scheduling (5 minutes): write and/or vocalize your priorities or goals for the day. you can use a calendar or a journal. this will help you with getting all important things done.

all 8 steps do not need to be done every day but consistency brings the best results!! this routine will leave you feeling energized with a clear mind to start the day!!

Wholesome Vampire Couple Writing Prompts

Eternal First Dates: A centuries-old vampire plans elaborate first dates for their partner every few decades as a way to keep the spark alive in their endless romance.

Midnight Garden: A vampire with a talent for horticulture plants a nocturnal garden that blooms under moonlight as a gift for their human lover.

Cooking in the Dark: A vampire struggles to learn how to cook their human partner’s favorite meals despite being unfamiliar with human food.

Historical Keepsakes: The vampire gives their partner unique gifts, each one a meaningful artifact from a different era they lived through, each with a romantic story behind it.

Adopted Family: A vampire couple adopts a human child and raises them, juggling bedtime stories with vampire-related hijinks like avoiding sunlight during school pickups.

Starry-Eyed: They take weekly “strolls” on rooftops or floating platforms to enjoy stargazing from impossible heights, crafting constellations to represent their love stories.

Overcoming Fears: One partner overcomes a fear for the other, like the human walking through a dark forest with the vampire or the vampire trying to tolerate daylight in brief moments for special occasions.

Art Eternal: A vampire artist paints a series of portraits of their lover over the years, highlighting how they’ve changed or stayed the same through time.

Cross-Cultural Holiday: The human teaches the vampire about modern holidays they missed over the centuries, and they create hybrid traditions blending the past and the present.

The Sanctuary Inn: The couple turns their shared home into a safe haven for supernatural beings and weary travelers, bonding over the stories of those they help.

Midnight Picnic: The vampire couple packs a picnic basket and enjoys a quiet moment under the full moon in a secluded forest. They joke about how “romantic candlelight” is unnecessary when you can see in the dark.

Sunrise Love: One vampire creates a special charm or potion that allows their partner to experience a sunrise for the first time in centuries, watching it together from the safety of their haven.

Gardening Night Owls: The couple grows a garden of night-blooming flowers and have a ritual of tending to it while discussing the centuries they’ve shared.

Halloween Fun: They decide to go to a Halloween party dressed as mortals, playfully debating who looks less convincing.

Modern Challenges: One vampire struggles to understand a new piece of technology, and the other lovingly teaches them. The frustration turns into laughter when the solution turns out to be hilariously simple.

Eternal Road Trip: They take a road trip together, traveling only at night, visiting historical sites they remember and marveling at how the world has changed.

Blood Donor Surprise: One vampire surprises the other with a vintage bottle of rare blood as a thoughtful anniversary gift.

Old Letters: They find an old box of love letters they exchanged centuries ago and spend the evening reminiscing.

Music Through the Ages: One composes a piece of music for the other, weaving themes from every era they’ve lived through together.

Guardian Angel: One vampire silently watches over their partner’s descendants, ensuring their happiness and safety without ever interfering.

Cultural Exchange: One partner, from a different era or culture, teaches the other to cook a traditional meal using modern methods, even though neither of them eats it.

Warmth of Love: On a particularly cold night, one vampire surprises the other by drawing them a hot bath filled with rose petals, just to make them feel human again for a moment.

Immortal Scrapbook: They create a scrapbook of the centuries they’ve spent together, documenting everything from major historical events to personal milestones.

Fang Carvings: One vampire carves little mementos out of wood or stone, leaving them as surprises for their partner to find.

Coven Dance: They host a dance for other vampires in their coven and steal quiet moments together amidst the festivities.

Witchcraft Exercises - Witchy Inspo Journal

Not sure what to do with all those notebooks you’ve collected for future use in your craft? (Don’t lie, we all have a stack somewhere.) Turn them into inspo journals!

Create and maintain a journal where each page is a quote or song lyric or picture that inspires you in your craft or defines some element of your practice. Use scrapbooking materials, washi tape, stickers, stamps, and any art supplies you wish. If you’re skilled at drawing or painting, you can do that too. 

The journal can be a simple notebook or a three-ring binder or a nice scrapbook from the craft store, whatever works for you. Try to do a page a week if you can, and collect ideas for future pages when you can’t. Update as often as you feel inspired to do so and enjoy some witchy art therapy.

This can also be turned into a devotional activity, with your inspo journal dedicated to your chosen deity(ies) or pantheon. A devotional inspo journal can also make a great private altar if you don’t have the space for one in your home or if you’re a stealth witch who can’t practice or venerate openly.

Here are some examples from my own inspo journal:

there are very few dramas that burrow their way so deep into my heart that they become a part of my soul, my conscience - don't get me wrong, i like/love A LOT of dramas (im a serial liker/lover you can say) - but with some dramas, it's like I have a perpetual hangover. Kinda like "the one - kdrama version" (assume the one to be a group with a small number of elements) (sorry my stem ass is showing) (also sorry for the endless brackets, my adhd is also showing)

Anyway, the point is i am pretty sure that Love Next Door is on the verge of joining this set already inhabited by Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Misaeng and My Mister.

Welcome to 2023, and a very Happy New Year to you! 🎆

We are delighted that you could join us and could not be happier to have you here for another Self-Care Sunday. 🕊️

It’s Sunday January 1, and we want to help you start the new year right. A new year doesn’t have to be a new you, because we at Tumblr think you’re absolutely fab just the way you are. Instead of a new year, new you, we want to have you start 2023 feeling just fine, and feeling happy, healthy, and well. It’s the same old you, just the very best, the very happiest you! And it can all start at the tip of a pen, keyboard, or touchpad,  as a little bit of journaling can help express yourself, and get thoughts which race around your mind before you onto the page. 

Who better to help this new habit get into gear than Justin, from @DayOne? This is someone who knows first-hand the transformative power of the simple act of writing what is inside into a page on the outside. And the benefits this can bring for mind and soul. In his own words…

Having discovered Day One almost 10 years ago, I’ve been a near-daily journal writer since. A few years back, I started supporting Day One’s social media and marketing efforts, building out the company’s Instagram following, creating the Day One Today newsletter, and creating an email and in-app onboarding experience for new users. As a father of four, I’ve used Day One to capture priceless moments from the lives of my children, through text, audio, video, and photo entries. I currently reside in Texas, enjoy biking, skiing, photography, and sports.

drunken confessions prompt list

when too much alcohol loosens their tongue

🌀 leaning heavily on your shoulder, they slur, “you have no idea how long i’ve wanted to kiss you,” and you freeze, unsure if they mean it or if it’s just the alcohol talking.

🌀 they’re giggling uncontrollably, cheeks flushed, when they suddenly blurt out, “you know, you’re the only person who makes me this happy.” the laughter fades, replaced by an earnest gaze that’s hard to dismiss.

🌀 stumbling over their words, they confess with a shy grin, “i think about you all the time.” their eyes widen like they didn’t mean to say that out loud, but there’s no taking it back now.

🌀 sitting together in the dim light of the bar, they lean in close and whisper, “i’ve been in love with you for ages.” you almost laugh it off, until you see the serious look in their eyes, even through the haze of alcohol.

🌀 drunkenly grabbing your hand and holding it against their chest, they mumble, “my heart always does this around you, you know.” you can feel the unsteady rhythm beneath your fingertips.

🌀 they’re rambling on about nothing in particular when, out of nowhere, they look at you and say, “i would give up anything just to see you smile every day.” it catches you so off guard that you don’t know how to respond.

🌀 as you’re helping them get home, they rest their head on your shoulder and murmur, “i’m not drunk enough to lie about loving you.” the words are soft and slurred, but the sincerity in their tone is unmistakable.

🌀 they keep repeating your name over and over, like they’re savoring the sound, before letting out a dreamy sigh and admitting, “i wish you knew how much i care.”

🌀 after a few too many drinks, they look at you with bleary eyes and say, “you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” there’s a hint of desperation in their voice, like they’ve been holding onto that truth for too long.

🌀 as they sway slightly on their feet, they confess, “i’d do anything for you.” you laugh and brush it off, but they shake their head stubbornly, grabbing your hand to make sure you’re listening.

🌀 they stumble closer, eyes half-lidded and voice soft, saying, “you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel like this.” their fingers graze your arm, like they need the contact to stay grounded.

🌀 leaning in a little too close, they confess with a shaky laugh, “i don’t want you to ever be with anyone else.” the words come out rushed, like they’ve been bottled up for far too long.

🌀 slurring slightly, they admit, “i thought i could get over you.” there’s a hint of sadness in their gaze as they meet your eyes, like they’re realizing the truth for the first time.

🌀 as they’re drifting off on the couch, they grab your hand and mumble, “promise me you’ll stay.” their grip tightens slightly, like they’re afraid you’ll let go if they don’t hold on.

Still stewing over how Riza watched Ed and Al swap sacrifices and probably learned some alchemy basics from her dad (and seems to have aptitude, given she's the one non-Xingese, non-chimera character to sense the homunculi), is willing to mutilate herself, and got pulled out of training to fight because she was just that good of a shot, so in the end she should've gone hey colonel I'm trading my dominant eye for one of yours. This works out for me too since I have to stay in the military for our Big Plan and would rather not be their star sniper anymore. Don't be dramatic about it.

Roy would not like that but what is he going to do, lie in his hospital bed and bitch about it? Ed couldn't refuse Al's sacrifice either. Second instance of someone forcing human transmutation on him but this time it's for his own good. Codependent bestie friendship bracelets partial blindness representing how uncomfortably far the other person will go even when you don't want them to. The Truth doesn't think they're quite grasping the lesson it wants them to learn but eh. Close enough. Leave the Ishvalans out of it.

spent a week training for enduro, had a beautiful and colorful time in the desert on a solo camping roadtrip. 18-25 mile daily average ride, found a safe quiet little spot to setup a base camp and came back for sunset every night to cook good food and relax by the fire.
