#jule goat

[strix-scandiaca]

Someone in southern Sweden have been putting two jule goats in *suggestive* positions for the last three years and last year the goats even multiplied 😏

[scrumptious-finicky-illusion]

I would suggest fire arrows for distance, or rocket launchers for even more distance

[unlimitedhearts]

Dean Winchester and Shawn Spencer would be making out sloppy style before the SPN/Psych crossover episode even got through the cold open send tweet

I am not a dog person but sometimes i think about Bryan and his dogs and something inside of me wants to curl up and sob

[vonlipvig]

Oh thanks, I knew I am very pretty while sleeping, but I never thought it was so much

I create with the sole purpose of feeding my own fantasies

Sondheim wrote the lyrics for West Side Story

Sam Byck sends audio recordings to some celebrities, including Leonard Bernstein, who did the music for West Side Story

Sondheim wrote the lyrics and music for Assassins, where he has Sam Byck talk about how great the music and lyrics are in West Side Story

Craziest thing you ever did

I reckon that depends on what your definition of 'crazy' includes.

That said, going purely off my own definition I would say that leaving Shreveport for New York felt pretty high up on the scale at the time.

How I ended up becoming a published felt pretty crazy when it happened (in the best way possible), but beyond writing the original short story collection, I'm not entirely sure I can say that I did that so much as it happened to me.

And then there was both leaving my job at the record store (a big hey all y'all and hugs for my Right Tone family, miss you bunches) to write full time, and putting the Mr. Porkers series on hold for a year (and a massive thank you to my publisher for letting me do that) so I could spread my wings and try out some new things. Both of those were firmly in the 'crazy' camp. At least as far as my bank balance goes.

And then there's the incident of which we do not speak, and I did have more of an active part to play in that happening, but I still reckon that it counts as 'a thing that happened to me' and not a 'thing I did', but like the name says, we do not speak of it.

But out of al of those, I reckon moving to New York was the 'craziest' thing I ever did just because it was the biggest change and biggest risk I had ever taken in my life up to that point.

Mentioning M6, perhaps a typical morning with each of them after they wake up? 🛏️☀️ I love the hcs you wrote for Lucio btw! They were very spot on (:

Awww!!

I’m so glad you liked them 🥹 and yeah count goat man is fun to write for 😆

On MASTERLIST 10

Asra

Wakes up first but likes to admire you as you’re still asleep

Likes to pepper teasing kisses along your face, cheeks, and neck before they get more cheeky but by then you’re awake in his arms

Julian

You wake him up because the snores get the best of him, but when he does, sometimes Jules likes it when you spoon him or let him rest on your chest before starting the day

Muriel

He is still out like a light but holds onto you tightly if you wake up before him, gentle snores and heartbeat soothing you back to sleep against his warm chest

Nadia

Spooning you when you wake up, long beautiful hair tickling your face, she’ll call for breakfast in bed for you both and your start to the day is a whole spa day arranged for you both

Portia

She woke up before you and lies on your stomach to watch you wake up, smiling when you wipe the sleep form your eyes, and has some kisses to spare too

Lucio

A big baby OML!!

You may as well just surrender to his hold because he refuses to get out of bed until midday, so enjoy all of the Count’s attention

[county-lucio]

//I'm gonna take a look at those, thank you so much for sharing that content, is really helpful

Bold of you to assume we all don't want angst 👀 how about the mcs having a flashback or panic attack? Hope you're doing well!

The Arcana HCs: M6 when MC gets panic attacks/flashbacks

Part 2 is here, with MC comforting the M6 during panic attacks

CW for obvious reasons

~ quick reminder to all readers that trauma looks different in everyone and that healing is not linear, that your pain is valid even when it doesn't fit the stereotype or when somebody else "has it worse." Everyone is worthy of comfort even when there's no one to provide it. - brainrot <3 ~

Julian

He regularly wakes up in a cold sweat from his own nightmares, he can relate to at least a little bit of what's going on

That and he's dedicated his life to you, so his empathy and love for you is unmatched

If anything he's overcautious with you and you often have to remind him that you can handle it

But every now and then it happens, maybe something triggers it, maybe you just woke up on a bad day at the wrong time

His chosen profession is helping people in pain, if you think he's not dropping everything to be with you you're wrong

What he doesn't know about panic attacks he's researched, and what he couldn't find in his research he learned from what you described, and what he couldn't learn from your words he memorized in your body language

He has every mechanism down, he will lead you through breathing exercises, he will work on grounding techniques, he will talk you through every symptom and get you to the other side

Whatever it is, he's not letting you go through it alone. That's what coffee is for, right? In case his favorite patient needs him in the middle of the night and doesn't want to go back to sleep?

Asra

Why do you think they leave Faust with you whenever they go on trips?

He's already so in tune with you, he has a second sense for when you're fighting something off and no realm is too far away to reach you when that happens

As soon as you can signal that they're allowed to touch you, they will have you in their lap with a weighted blanket and one of their hands in both of yours to squeeze as hard as you need to

Will definitely use safe touch to ground you, using his fingertips to trace a box on your palms to breathe along with, rubbing your feet to warm them up and help you feel something under them

If it's a flashback, asking the quietest questions to get you out of your head. What color is their shawl? Where is Faust? How many succulents can you count on the windowsill? Which one of your hands is he touching? Which finger on that hand?

If it's a particularly nasty episode, he'll use magic to take more control of your environment, adjusting the temperature or blocking out a trigger or introducing a sound or sensation that you associate with safety and wellbeing

You never know how they do it, but there is always a steaming cup of tea on hand as soon as you're ready for it

Nadia

Panic might not be the most familiar sensation to her, but being trapped inside her own brain sure is

She specializes more in spoiling people than comforting them, but you pulled her out of the three year nightmare she was stuck in, so you can bet she's putting her all into returning the favor whenever she can

She's learned that you know what you need best, so she will follow your lead

You're having difficulty breathing? She knows how to direct you through the right exercises

You've got tears and snot all over your face? She has the softest handkerchief to wipe it away with

You need to be held? She's cradling you to her chest

Your eyes are wide and focused on some distant point? She's putting herself in your field of vision and coaxing you to focus on her

If nothing else is working, she's found she can use her gift of sight to get a better read on what's tormenting you and inform her response

Each time she'll process it with you afterwards and give you the best counsel

Muriel

Yeah, he knows those, he gets them too

He's not a professional and he doesn't have tons of resources at his disposal, but he gets what you're going through better than anyone and he's the most nurturing person you'll ever meet

His approach is generally to do all the things for you that work for him, especially since he's more of an actions than a words guy

As soon as he knows his touch won't trigger you, he'll have you in his arms, carrying you to a safe place to ground yourself (this is usually your bed)

He'll wrap the softest, thickest fur around you, sandwich you between him and Inanna, and slowly rock you back and forth like a baby

He'll put one of your palms on his chest so you can mimic his deep breathing and press a tiny wooden animal that's been saturated with myrrh into your other hand to focus on

He won't talk much, but he'll listen

If it's a bad memory resurfacing, he'll listen to every nasty detail you need to get out of your head. If it's fears or insecurities, he'll listen without judgement. If it's an incomprehensible rant, he'll listen and give you a gentle squeeze when you stop to breathe

He does also associate safety with a full stomach, so he will make you eat a double portion at your next meal

Portia

She had to readjust her assumptions at first, because her only point of reference for stuff like this is Julian's pity parties and she never had patience for those

Which did result in her quiet apology to him one evening, for never trying to get where he was coming from before slapping him out of it

She doesn't want to make the same mistake for you, so her approach is generally to make your surroundings as conducive to helping you as possible

She'll adjust the lighting, tuck a blanket around you, stuff Pepi into your lap for cuddles, bring you a handkerchief or a glass of water or one of those weird perpetual motion trinkets to focus on

She's an expert in bringing people joy, which means she's still learning how to sit with people in pain, but she's determined and she's loving and she can learn anything she puts her mind to

She also knows you well enough to trust your strength, so once she's done everything she can think of to help, she'll sit down in front of you cross-legged, her steady hands in yours, and watch you battle it out

Often that kind of empowering faith is exactly the boost you need, and you know as soon as you're ready that she has a million tricks up her sleeve to make you smile

Lucio

He's more familiar with this than you expect him to be

He spent his youth on the bloodiest part of the battlefield, and while that was his own decision, he's still haunted by some of the things that he did or had done to him

He also had his arm amputated by an apprentice doctor without anesthesia, he definitely gets his own flashbacks to that

He doesn't know how to be the safest person around, but he knows how to make you feel protected

If you're on the road or doing a job, he's pausing everything and putting all his attention on you

He's noticed what you reach for to comfort yourself with, so now he keeps a light blanket, a smooth trinket, and a soothing smell in his pouch. A good warrior knows to keep their best weapons on hand (ha, get it? hand? 'cause he's only got one? oh right you're crying shit shit shit he's got this)

Mercedes and Melchior are experts at grounding, they've been helping Lucio for years now

One of them will curl around your back, a solid warm weight to cover you, and the other will put their head and shoulders in your lap to touch and cry into

He will never make you feel small or weak about it

[satureja13]

And while the others headed over to Porto Azzurro, Vlad and Ji Ho went to the ocean, because Ji Ho is the happiest there. They left their Little Goats at the beach to keep watch. (TMI: I also took a similar pic of Francine and her boyfriend, Jules, here where they look at each other the same way <3 )

Both of them were worrying how to deal with each other now, after all the madness that had happened between them. The spell that made Vlad fall in love with Ji Ho even though he still mourned the death of his first love, Wesley, the curse that kept them from being together, Vlad dying (and going to hell and back) because he wanted to claim Ji Ho back from Genji, who bit Ji Ho and became his first bonded, all the 'Bond Magic' they had to 'do' to 'safe the world' and defeat the Council, Vlad trying to spare Ji Ho from this and his attempts to 'kill' their bond and to bond with Morgan instead, and the Bond punishing Vlad, blinding him and almost made him attack his friends...

Yeah, that was when the Bond had enough. It won't allow any further delay and it certainly won't allow anything that keeps them away from each other. The Bond showed them how strong their love still is. And that neither Vlad nor Ji Ho holds any grudge against the other. Because they know, all they did was for a good cause. For each other, for their friends and for their community. They finally overcame all their hardships and now it's time to harvest the sweet fruits of their love.

Eventually, they relaxed and Ji Ho playfully swam around Vlad. And poor Vlad was stunned. Never before had he seen anything as beautiful and wonderous as Ji Ho in this very moment.

Of course Ji Ho sensed through the Bond how Vlad felt. But he wanted this moment far from any awkwardness and so he decided to splash Vlad out of his stupor 🌊 What they need right now is to get comfortable around each other, and not to become even more awkward and cautious, the rest will follow.

And finally Vlad laughed. A liberating, gleeful laughter. All the weight, he'd carried around for years, fell off him. He'd never been so carefree before, and never so happy. And he's glad he is allowed to share this moment with Ji Ho. This was the moment he realized that he wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

They are finally at a point from where they could start their relationship without being afraid or dreading what their future might bring for them. And Ji Ho felt it too.

The Bond decided it's time for a kiss to seal their love and to start this new chapter in their life together. Never before a kiss felt so good and so intense for Ji Ho. For the first time he was truely grateful to have his feelings back so he could experience the full magnitude of this kiss. For the first time his new found feelings weren't frightening and oppressive. It felt as they became one when their lips touched, their hungry mouths melted and Vlad's tongue gingerly asked for admission. And time bended to eternity.

And even though Ji Ho is a mermaid, he felt like drowning. But Vlad held him tight. Little Goat: 'What a kiss!' Little Goat: 'I'll go and fetch the others!'

And when the sun set, just a little while later, Jeb and Sai also watched them. Sai sighed contendedly and forgot his worries for a while. If Vlad and Ji Ho can make it, Jeb and him will also succeed. And Sai decided to put more effort in their relationship. He's always letting himself getting dragged in too deep in his leader obligations and, just like Kiyoshi neglected Jack over his duties, he neglected Jeb. He will learn to delegate, just as Jeb (and the others) suggested. And accept help from his friends. Let them carry the burden with him. He's determined to work really hard to stop their on/off relationship and turn it into something steady and fulfilling. He's going to get real close to Jeb and eventually he'll finally lose his virginity! They had their first date (and their first kiss) almost exactly two years ago and they've spend more time apart than together as a couple... And when Jeb asked him, reluctantly, if he could kiss him, he couldn't be happier! Sai wasn't even disappointed that Jeb only kissed his cheek... It's just the beginning.

Maybe he all but missunderstood all that 'we can't woohoo because Jeb can't hurt Sai' nonsense? After all it had been Jack who first brought that up -.-

'I don't want another heartbreak I don't need another turn to cry, no I don't want to learn the hard way Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye But you got me like a rocket Shooting straight across the sky

It's the way you love me It's a feeling like this It's centrifugal motion It's perpetual bliss It's that pivotal moment It's, ah, impossible This kiss, this kiss (unstoppable) This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White How does love get so off course, oh All I wanted was a white knight With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse Ride me off into the sunset Baby, I'm forever yours'
