It's one of those days
Sans.
Sans.
sans sans sans
I wake up, mind foggy and disoriented.
I go about my morning routine on autopilot.
Empty eyes.
Blank expression.
Mind far away.
Sans.
Sans squirms under the covers, nuzzling into the warmth of my body.
I brush my teeth, unseeing eyes locked onto a random spot on the sink.
Sans lets out a low grunt and I growl, clenching my teeth on the toothbrush, foam all over my mouth.
How fitting.
I wash my face with shaky hands while Sans arches against my body in the most delicious way.
My hands trace his lumbar vertebrae, edges rounded and soft.
He's such a gentle, non-threatening creature. Nothing about his body is harsh to the touch.
No sharp angles.
Nothing to attack with.
No armour.
Just inviting softness.
He is so human in that regard.
I rub the intervertebral discs with the tips of my fingers and feel the jelly-like surface yield under the careful pressure.
His breath hitches and he whispers my name.
I sigh and start making tea, walking around the kitchen in a haze.
My shift at work starts in 10 minutes.
Sans whines ever so softly as my hand reaches inside his hollow ribcage, caressing, massaging the warm bones.
I stop in the middle of the kitchen, spilled tea trickling down my arm onto the floor.
I watch the droplets fall.
Smooth bones shiver under my fingers.
I put the glass back on the counter and turn around lethargically to get some paper towels.
Teeth pressed against my lips.
Ragged breath.
Sugar.
I need to get a soap. Or the floor is going to be sticky.
"please, just... please"
The floor tiles are cold and smooth when I kneel down.
I can't see my kitchen anymore.
Sans leans into my hand needily as I wipe the sweat off his forehead.
It's going to be a torturously long day.

The submas brainworm is only getting stronger, so I have drafted a whole-ass comic for a new AU idea! One where Chandelure gets to take center stage and become the main character she was always meant to be~
The gist of the AU is that Chandelure has a ghostly soul-bond with Ingo, which essentially means that his soul is under her protection and he sorta registers as a ghost to other pokemon. Basically protects him from other ghosts trying to put their sticky paws on her trainer and also gives the two of them a bit of an empathetic connection. Not quite telepathy, but able to transmit complex feelings and lets them check how badly they're hurt.
Naturally, this means that when Giratina (who was honestly just trying to play around. They were given the tedious task of just opening rifts and looking through all those peep holes made them curious. So when they saw a soul that had a beautiful ghost bond, they became fascinated) snags Ingo and drags him through, Chandelure immediately feels when Giratina's power accidentally tries to overwhelm Ingo's soul and she absolutely loses her shit. Through psychically screaming and using her protective aura to try and bash Giratina, the distortion god acts like a dog that's done something they shouldn't and tries to hide the evidence of their messing around (Ingo getting fucked up via soul and getting not too gently dropped off a mountain).
I have more ideas, especially relating to how Emmet is taking his brother's ace losing her mind and how her actions affect the investigation, but if I keep going down these tracks I'm going to end up with another 90k WIP fic like i did with Naruto. (Though if people wanna see the AU written out...👀... I could absolutely be convinced. I'm very weak...)

anyway. can we talk about how izzy refusing to kill ed and killing himself instead is, yes, that he would rather betray ed and be reviled and abandoned by him and die alone than kill him, but also out of spite and one last defiant act of autonomy because that's what ed wants and even after months of torture he still can't make izzy do it. he said i love you. and you cannot fucking stop me.

A narrow way through...
I watched Dune part 2 recently and loved Paul's jarring transformation after his resurrection. The makeup in this scene really makes you believe he's just seen some shit.

I have always found the conversation between Porsche and Porchay by the pool to be so unsatisfying. Porsche never takes responsibility for lying to his brother, never tells him that he'd been given the opportunity to go back to him for good and he chose not to, and barely even apologizes. Now, from his perspective, it's easy to see that he doesn't exactly feel sorry because he truly believed leaving was necessary, and everything else has been so wildly out of his control that even his feelings for Kinn count among those things. So, of course he focuses on the present. It's what he's been trained to do now. He may not be a bodyguard anymore, but the practice is sticking. And yet, it makes me hurt for Porchay so damn much because he never gets a proper understanding of how and why and when his brother changed. He still loves Porsche, but when they hug, he doesn't say, "I missed you." He says, "I miss you," because the Porsche he knew is not the same as the one in front of him, and he didn't get a proper chance to say goodbye to him.

Field Guide to encounters with The Glow, Part One: Type 1 infected, AKA Growlers.
Growlers are intensely aggressive, so much so that they are just as violent towards other infected as anything else that moves. While blind, the Growlers are equipped with keen hearing and smell, and can locate a potential meal from far distances. Constantly on the hunt, these unfortunate beasts' diet of choice ultimately leaves them unsatisfied and starving. Stage 3 Type 1 infected usually die within weeks, but some have survived up to two months.
To Distract a Growler: Find some way to create noise in the opposite direction that you are located. Make sure it is loud, and lasts long enough for you to run. Flying is a viable method of escape if you possess wings, as stage 2 and 3 Growlers are incapable of flight. Stage 2 due to the weakening of their flight muscles- and stage 3 due to the loss of feathers.
How to avoid detection: Mask your scent. Try to remain as neutral-smelling as possible. This can be hard to do, but do your best and you will avoid being sniffed out by a late stage Growler. Avoiding detection by a stage 2 is simply a matter of staying out of sight and keeping noise to a whisper. Additionally, avoid making noise when near a stage 3 Growler. If you cannot be detected through smell, your best bet with a stage 3 is to hold completely still, breath slowly (quietly), and wait for them to leave line of sight- then you can make a run for it. Stage 3 Growlers are strong but slow-moving. Outrunning them in a large enough space is possible.
Special Notes: Growlers at stage 3 cannot be reasoned with and have the minds of starving, cornered predators. However, due to stage 2 Growlers being still rather cognizant, you can communicate with them- it is recommended to do so with some form of barrier however, due to their overwhelming instinct to bite and infect everything they see. When things were still relatively stable and infected were being appropriately contained, Princess Twilight Sparkle had frequent verbal contact with multiple stage 2 Growlers in her care. They were reluctantly polite, expressing a clear desire to attack the princess, but understood their situation well enough to be compliant at the time. All these stage 2s eventually progressed into stage 3, and were either put down, escaped, or kept for further study.

Took the approach of talking to my body like I'm running a class when exercising (an exercise class but maybe a school one would work too)
"Good job, legs"
"Looking strong arms and shoulders"
"Abs, we gotta work on those sit ups"
