Writing Notes: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning - occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled.

CO - a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas.

Produced by incomplete combustion.

Interferes with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

Found in: automobile exhaust fumes, faulty stoves and heating systems, fires, and cigarette smoke.

Other sources: woodburning stoves, kerosene heaters, improperly ventilated water heaters and gas stoves, and blocked or poorly maintained chimney flues.

The result is headache, nausea, convulsions, and finally death by asphyxiation.

Symptoms

The symptoms of CO poisoning in order of increasing severity include:

headache

shortness of breath

dizziness

fatigue

mental confusion and difficulty thinking

loss of fine hand-eye coordination

nausea and vomiting

rapid heart rate

hallucinations

inability to execute voluntary movements accurately

collapse

lowered body temperature (hypothermia)

coma

convulsions

seriously low blood pressure

cardiac and respiratory failure

death

In some cases, the skin, mucous membranes, and nails of a person with CO poisoning are cherry red or bright pink. Because the color change doesn’t always occur, it is an unreliable symptom to rely on for diagnosis.

Although most CO poisoning is acute, or sudden, it is possible to suffer from chronic CO poisoning. This condition exists when a person is exposed to low levels of the gas over a period of days to months.

Symptoms are often vague and include (in order of frequency) fatigue, headache, dizziness, sleep disturbances, cardiac symptoms, apathy, nausea, and memory disturbances.

Little is known about chronic CO poisoning, and it is often misdiagnosed.

Treatment

Immediate treatment: Remove the victim from the source of carbon monoxide gas and get him or her into fresh air.

If the victim is not breathing and has no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be started.

Depending on the severity of the poisoning, 100% oxygen may be given with a tight fitting mask as soon as it is available.

Taken with other symptoms of CO poisoning, COHb levels of over 25% in healthy individuals, over 15% in patients with a history of heart or lung disease, and over 10% in pregnant women usually indicate the need for hospitalization.

In the hospital, fluids and electrolytes are given to correct any imbalances that have arisen from the breakdown of cellular metabolism.

In severe cases of CO poisoning, patients are given hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment involves placing the patient in a chamber breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of more than one atmosphere (the normal pressure the atmosphere exerts at sea level). The increased pressure forces more oxygen into the blood.

Prevention

Carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable.

Particular care should be paid to situations where fuel is burned in a confined area. Portable and permanently installed carbon monoxide detectors that sound a warning similar to smoke detectors are available for less than $50.

Specific actions that will prevent CO poisoning include:

Stopping smoking. Smokers have less tolerance to environmental CO.

Having heating systems and appliances installed by a qualified contractor to assure that they are properly vented and meet local building codes

Inspecting and properly maintaining heating systems, chimneys, and appliances

Not using a gas oven or stove to heat the home

Not burning charcoal indoors

Making sure there is good ventilation if using a kerosene heater indoors

Not leaving cars or trucks running inside the garage

Keeping car windows rolled up when stuck in heavy traffic, especially if inside a tunnel.

dating emily prentiss - headcons

pairing: ssa emily prentiss x pediatrician!femreader

warnings: fluff content, sugestive smut, cm horrors (children abuse), emily being a softie

no descriptions of hair, skin color, body shape

i'm thinking about making this idea a series. what you guys think?

You meet Emily for the first time because of Hotch. She drove him and Jack to your office in the middle of the night 'cause the poor child had a bad fever. She wasn't expecting to find you. Pink scrub with flowers and bees all over it, white shoes and a funny tiara in your hair.

"Dr. Y/L/N. This is my coworker Emily, she drove us here." You nod, taking a quick glance at her.

"Nice to meet you, Emily. Shall we go Jack?"

That was the first time she was hypnotized by a woman like you. How you treated Hotch and especially Jack. She wouldn't mind spending hours watching you work.

The second time she saw you was during a case. They were rescuing abused children and the pediatrician the BAU chose was you. Reid, Morgan and Emily stayed at the clinic while you did your best to save those children.

"Excuse me. My team stabilized four of the seven children, they're severely dehydrated and malnourished. With the right work and care everything will be alright." You lead them to the rooms. "If you're going to make them talk, be gentle and calm. No loud voices and movements. Remember, these children just experienced a lifetime trauma. If you need me I'll be in the other room."

"Yes ma'am." Emily answered quickly and received a smirk from Morgan.

"Ask her out, Prentiss, don't be so shy."

"That's inappropriate Derek, we are working."

She asked you out after the case was over. She stopped by at your work to thank you for your help and asked if you wanted to have a coffee next time you're free.

You learned that Emily was addicted to coffee, that she loves fudge brownies and most of her clothes have cat hair. You were so entertained by the way she rambled and how her brown eyes sparkled when she got excited. She laughed at your 'no sex on the first date' — you failed so bad. When both of you noticed you were breathing heavily in Emily's car.

"I don't know why that's funny. This rule used to work every time." You gave her a look.

"I'm just too hot for this waiting thing and you weren't even complaining thirty minutes ago!"

The months were passing and you two got very involved. Phone calls when she's away, dinner at her or your place, waking up tangled in the sheets. The schedules work just fine, the cases were longer like your shifts. There wasn't pressure on labeling the relationship that was building, but was serious. This woman had you wrapped around her finger.

Long phone calls or voicemails when she's at her hotel room.

"Hey, I can't even imagine how rough the shift is today. The case is evolving to the right direction, we got different clues today and are close to catching the unsub. I saw a bookstore next to the precinct with the book you told me about, so I bought it to discuss with you on the next date. Reid said the book is fantastic and he told me a lot of curiosities about the author, can't wait to tell you everything. Anyway, call me when you can. I miss you."

She surprises you with your favorite food when she picks you up at work. You commented that you wanted to eat sushi and the next day she showed up with sushi just for you. Or when you slept at hers she makes your favorite breakfast (with Rossi on the phone just to make sure she's not giving you food poisoning).

Emily is a morning person, you're not. Waking up with this woman looking like a golden retriever, walking around, rambling and trying to make you wake up.

"You know Ems, if you're doing this to get into my panties you are not getting. Let me sleep."

"It's a beautiful day, sugar. Let 's go!" She comes closer, stroking your messy hair.

"I hate you so much." You looked at her with the most evil smirk ever.

When she started to think about the idea of marriage, kids and white picket fence she almost had a stroke. She changed her whole life plan since she met you. The idea of a love that is so light and free wasn't even a real thing in her head. The greatest part of her day was talking to you, thinking of you. You were the reason she was more caucareful at the field, she was being more open about her feelings to her closest friends.

Girls night!!!!!!! Penelope and you bond right away. She was so excited to see the girl that was making Emily look like a love pudding.

"You are so made for each other, look at that! The way she looks at you!"

"Penny, calm down!" You drunkenly laugh at her and pass your arm around your girlfriend.

"I think we should get shots for this moment. Y/N help me!" You give Emily a kiss on the cheek and follow Penelope.

"How do you feel?" J.J asked Emily that answer with the brightest smile.

"I am in love with that woman and it hurts that she has no idea of how much it is."

"She feels the same way, the lovesick gave. I'm happy you found your half."

"I bought a ring." Dead silence between them.

"What? Oh my God!"

"Keep this down, ok? I'm waiting for the right moment and right now it's not. Hotch went with me and yeah, that's it."

You slowly moved with Emily and started to have a life together. You share bills, you do chores together, buy things together. Even adopted another cat. Life was amazing, couldn't be better. Until the day she proposed.

Hey everyone! Remember when I told y'all I was gonna make a huge post about Harumi Shirai being playable? Well, it's heeeeere!! :D ✨️

Before we start! A thanks to @meme099 for requesting this post and a thanks to all my Harumi girlies (in special @mikka-minns @thedragonholder @madamealtruist @orbitinytheworld and @running-with-the-feels ) who have always been so supportive of my Harumi content! Hope you guys enjoy this!🩷

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Canon info used as inspo:

Harumi and Kuai are childhood friends and are in a relationship;

Harumi is head of her clan (that is not the Shirai Ryu);

Harumi uses her knowledge as Grandmistress to help Kuai and Tomas assemble the Shirai Ryu;

Harumi has connections with the Umgadi.

Everything else I used is based on Headcanons of mine, Harumi's clan being the most blatant case, I'll be linking previous posts in case you want more details!

I wanted to make Harumi a brand new character, with her own unique backstory and skill set! (It's what she deserves)

With all that in mind, LET'S BEGIN!

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

TW: This will be much more explicitly violent than my regular Tumblr content, as there will be Fatalities and Brutalities. I know in this Fandom this is expected, but as it's not usual for MY content, I feel like a warning is welcome!

New Playable Fighter: Harumi Shirai🌸

🌸 Bio:

Fierce leader, talented herbalist and honorary Umgadi, Harumi Shirai is the head of her clan, the Order of Cetrion.

Founded by her ancestors and composed by women only, her clan uses their skills to aid the Elder Goddess of Life and Virtue, Cetrion, in her never-ending mission to protect all life in Earthrealm.

Nowadays, Harumi is not only the Grandmistress of her clan, but also mentor of her childhood friend and lover, Kuai Liang, as he struggles and persists in his quest to assemble a clan that will rival the Lin Kuei's might and serve as Earthrealm's new line of defence.

For more of my thoughts and HCs on Harumi and her clan, you can read these:

🌸 Gear:

As stablished in the previously mentioned posts The Daughters of Cetrion are herbalists with access to Outworldly magic and spices, so most her arsenal will reflect that!

Bottles of healing potions and deadly poisons.

Pouches of grated herbs that can heal, cause allergic reactions and, of course, kill. (Pocket sand!)

A scythe (small one, used to harvest plants but can and will slit a throat)

It is canon that Harumi has connections with the Umgadi and it's safe to assume she was trained by them (my HC is that Li Mei was her teacher), so I gave her an Umgadi skill:

Umgadi energy constructs. Only the Grandmistresses are allowed to learn this skill from the Umgadi. Harumi's constructs are pink and she shapes them like flowers and red foxes (a nod to her Animality).

🌸 Skins:

Now being quite fair, MK1 can be hardly known for its variety in skins. It is however, pretty creative when if comes to colour palettes, so I decided to rely on that!

Bellow you have Harumi's main outfit, the long sleeve nods to her canon fit while the rest was made with her clan in mind (the main reference were Cetrion's outfits)

The Grandmistress: The main colour. This is her Grandmistress outfit, all in pinkish tones, which I HC to be her family's colours)

The Scorpion: 1st colour variant has my Scorpion!Harumi colours, with a brighter shade of pink and yellow (the flower on her hair nods to her Scorpion hairpin)

Daughter of Cetrion: 3rd variation brings her clan's colours, a mix of her family's colours and Cetrion's. The colours are to represent their commitment as protectors of life and nature.

Li Mei's Apprentice: 4th variation is for her Umgadi outfit! She wears the traditional shades of yellow and silver!

The Shirai Ryu's Bride: 5th variation has Kuai's colours (and yes, the name is a nod to their relationship)

Honorary Lin Kuei: 6th variation might look controversial, but I find it hard to believe Harumi was only Kuai's friend. I HC Harumi was named honorary Lin Kuei warrior many years ago. (She wears Bi-Han’s colours to imply they were once friends too)

Bonus info:

Kuai has two of her colour palettes, "The Grandmistress" as nod to their relationship and "Daughter of Cetrion" as I HC him to be a honorary Cetrion warrior;

I drew Harumi slightly different here to make her resemble her new face model, Jiwon Ra, but I kept some of my HCs, meaning her freckles and slight heterochromia;

The tattoo on Harumi's arm is the Umgadi insignia and the pendant on her belt is her clan's.

🌸 Special moves:

Fireworks: Harumi shoots fireworks through her finger (Umgadi magic) they work as projectiles and can be shot to any height and also as she jumps or ducks; (it looks like Charlie's fireworks)

Witchy makes you dizzy: She throws a concoction that makes the opponent dizzy (it inverts your remote);

Pocket sand: She throws a pouch that makes the opponent cough (makes them stand in place)

They don't bite... much: Harumi creates two foxes with her constructs and sends them to bite the opponent;

Cetrion's healer: She uses one of her potions to heal herself.

Bonus: For stronger hits and during kombos, she will strike with her scythe;

She throws bottles and pouches of potions during her kombos.

The first and fourth move can become Brutalities. With "Fireworks" she blows up the opponent and with "They don't bite... much" her foxes eat the opponent alive.

🌸 Fatal Blow:

Beware the Forest Witch:

Harumi blows one of her powder mixes on the opponents face, the powder makes their skin itchy and they scratch their face aggressively (drawing a lot of blood).

She steps back and sends her foxes, the creatures start to bite, one of them givas a particularly strong bite, breaking the opponets leg, the other breaks their arm right after.

Harumi finishes the move with a firework attack, breaking the opponents ribs and sending them away!

The Fatal Blow can also be used as a brutality, her foxes will tear the opponents limbs off as they bite them!

🌸 Fatality:

Sacrifice for the Goddess:

Harumi uses her constructs to open holes into the opponent's chest and stomach.

She calmly walks closer, holding a pouch and a bottle as she's still deciding which one to use.

She places the pouch in the opponent's stomach hole and the bottle on their chest hole, only to change her mind at the last minute and replace the bottle with another one from her belt.

She places a smaller bottle at the opponent's mouth and slowly walks away.

The bottles and pouch explode into plants and vines with beautiful flowers that start to grow inside the opponent's holes and mouth as they fall backwards. The opponent starts to look like a gory flower pot.

From the opponent's mouth grows a singular pink flower, which Harumi gently plucks and sniffs as her victory is announced.

🌸 Intro animations:

When she's pushed away by her opponent, she carves her scythe on the ground to stop her momentum. Her foxes constructs are already by her side. She pets them to assure she's ok and raises up saying "my foxes will be eating well today"

When she's the one pushing, she distances herself with a one-handed cartwheel and a back flip. Her hands glows as she moves, summoning flowery shapes around them. She mocks the opponent calling them "fertilizer for Cetrion's gardens"

🌸 In-between rounds animation:

When she wins: She recreates her foxes constructs and pets them, sweetly calling them "good boys"

When she loses: She uses one of her potions to "heal" herself (she'll grunt in pain and anger as she does)

🌸 Victory animation:

She will use her constructs to slightly recriate this one victory animation of Cetrion from MK11. Her foxes will be lying by each of her sides.

🌸Ending:

"The arrival of Titan Shang Tsung inspired many other foes to rise and act on their darkest desires.

In their path they left behind only death and destruction. Among their victims, were the Living forests and the Capital of Seido.

As Daughters of Cetrion, it is my clan's duty to protect life and preserve the nature. Such disasters would never pass unnoticed by us.

Lady Cetrion healed the forest and put a stop to the flood that had already killed so many. In a way only her magic could!

My sisters and I helped as we could, searching for survivors, protecting and healing them.

Once they were out of harm, it was time to get them justice. Reunited with my old friends and mentor in the Umgadi, we went after the responsible for this atrocity.

Havik, the agent of chaos."

🌸 A few intro dialogues:

🔥 With Kuai:

Harumi: Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're my fiancé.

Kuai: I know you'll go harder on me because I'm your fiancé.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: I'll join you against Havik in a heartbeat.

Harumi: I appreciate it, but you already have much in your plate, Grandmaster.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: When you're around Hanzo, do you ever feel...

Harumi: Like I've met him before? All the time.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So, about those comic books you borrowed?

Harumi, chuckling: We're married now, Sunbeam. What's yours is mine!

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So when you said "Summer camping" you actually meant training with the Umgadi?

Harumi: Uh... Surprise?

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So you and Tanya...?

Harumi: So you and Cyrax?

--------------------------------------

Kuai: You think things will ever get better with Bi-Han?

Harumi: Of course! As long as we don't give up on him!

--------------------------------------

❄️ With Bi-Han:

Bi-Han: I only wish to speak to my brothers.

Harumi: And your men lurking on my territory, are they here only to speak too?

--------------------------------------

Bi-Han: Step aside, Harumi, this is family matter.

Harumi: Have you forgotten, dear? I am family.

--------------------------------------

Harumi: Come alone to the Shirai Ryu. Let's put our differences aside.

Bi-Han: So you can stab me in the back?

--------------------------------------

Harumi: We used to be friends, Bi-Han.

Bi-Han: Regrettably, Harumi, things have changed.

--------------------------------------

Harumi: So how is Cyrax doing?

Bi-Han: Your concoctions have been quite helpful...

--------------------------------------

💨 With Tomas:

Tomas: Are you sure Hanzo is over 18?

Harumi: *Sigh* For the last time, Tom. Yes!

--------------------------------------

Tomas: Wait, you know Kuai has a crush on you?

Harumi, chuckling: Who doesn't know?

--------------------------------------

Harumi: You drank my truth serum??

Tomas: it's not my fault you stash your potions with the kitchen spices!

--------------------------------------

Harumi: The Shirai Ryu is turning out great!

Tomas: And you thought we were total lost causes!

--------------------------------------

Harumi: Where did you say you found your apprentice again?

Tomas: He fell from a tree!

--------------------------------------

Tomas: So your Umgadi friend Jade...

Harumi: Want me to introduce you to her?

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

So for now I only have these dialogues with the Sub-Zero siblings, but I'll tell you that:

If you want so see Harumi interacting with other characters, you can send me an ask with the character(s) you want and will make some intro dialogues with them! (Maximum 3 characters per ask, please)🩷

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Yoo folks! We made it!! Playable Fighter Harumi Shirai at your services!!!

Thank you very much for reading, I hope you have enjoyed!

If you have thoughts, questions and/or suggestions, please DO TELL! I'd love to chat to you about my girl!💕

ok! so!!

I have my small little sketch ideas for Sugarglass Cookie!!

They’re all fairly different and pretty much REALLY rough drafts for how I’d imagine them. I’ll also describe them better here in case you can’t understand my horrid writing (it’s been so hard ever since my pen broke 😔)

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:

1 . Gives off more pure and wholesome vibes, but is actually pretty manipulative using her childish looks (similar to how cloud haetae cookie was cutesy and nice at first before showing her true colors). She has large beads (frog eggs?? or just regular large beads) around her neck that depicts her emotions (ex. Smiley when happy, frowns when sad, you get the idea). Just above her dress (small frill/ruffle sleeves and straight dress) you can see she has another shade as her “underbelly” like how some frogs do. This also applies to the palms of her hands and bottom of feet/inner legs. And of course, the part that makes it a Glassfrog she is semi-transparent and has freckles on her face/shoulders (maybe back too) to depict their spots. Give her frog eyes (of course) and I was thinking of making her hair two buns in the back to give “fake eyes” kinda look. Normal cookie mouth, and her color palette will likely consist greens, blues, and yellows

2 . Honestly I have very little idea what to do with him, I kind of hate this design. But hey, still putting it out there in case I change my mind. Has short wavy hair with a dyed “dots”, he’s mostly just a lazy cookie who doesn’t care/isn’t fazed by much (the only one that can get him to do anything is eternal sugar, and even then he’ll try and get out of it). Again, frog eyes and transparent skin of course, normal cookie mouth, and different tones underbelly. I had to think long and hard for his outfit and the best I could come up with was something like the Greek God Hermes (gold and white simplistic robe, mini wings on either side of head) because it felt somewhat close to eternal sugar’s design. To make them match a bit more too though, I added a bow to his back that would be pinkish with dots (like a Glassfrog’s back) to give “fake eyes” look. I thought small heart shaped eyebrows would be pretty cute too since eternal sugar also has hearts in her design. Color palette would consist of white, golds, pink, greens and yellows

3 . They’re probably my favorite one. With no distinct gender, they are just a chill guy™. Loves to laze about but don’t be fooled by their relaxed nature (like poison mushroom cookie) ! Leaned a lot more into the frog look, giving them a frog mouth, eyes, transparent, different toned underbelly, and the lil finger balls (they have “sticky fingers” hehe). Their clothing (just a simple white robe) is cherub inspired, which I think really goes well with eternal sugar’s angel wings/halo and devil tail look. Their hair is big ball braids along the top of the head (not sure how long I’ll make it) as a glassfrog’s spots. Which, they’ll also have “freckle” spots on its shoulders and back too. Color palette would consist of pinks, greens, white, and yellows

4 . Is probably the one I’m most neutral (?) about. She’s a child, raised by eternal sugar herself. Instead of being lazy or deceitful, she’s much more curious but very shy. Being raised by eternal sugar since she was an egg, she was manipulated instead by her master and is why she’s much different from the rest of the ideas (how different? Not very sure, we need more about eternal sugar until I know). Just as loyal of course, if not the most loyal. Could probably jump the highest, ribbits nervously when she’s being untruthful (she’s very bad at being bad). Like the rest, she has a frog mouth, eyes, transparent body, and different toned underbelly. I figured she looks cutest with very curly/afro-like hair?? Idk why, just fits her I guess. Her dress is a lil simple one with dots (like a Glassfrog’s spots) all over. Since she’s very young still, she still has a very tiny tadpole tail that barely peeks out. Her color palette would consist of greens, yellows, blues, and a bit of browns

I will be making a poll bc I want to know what you guys think of them!! Any ideas are totally welcomed!!!!!

Oh and also someone said that there is a Sugarglass Cookie in crob??? I didn’t know lol, but they said I should probably change my ocs name so I thought of Sugarglass Frog / Sugarfrog cookie? What do you guys think?? I might just keep it as Sugarglass though bc this is for crk not crob but lmk

ok love yall bye 🫶

This is a weird question but do you have any hcs about what the rogues wear to bed? I can picture what the Gotham City Sirens would wear but not the male rogues.

Does Two-Face have custom pajamas sewn together? Can Black Mask just throw on a t-shirt, or are his pjs as dressy as his regular clothes? Are all of Riddler's pjs green? What the hell would Scarecrow even wear?

The people need to know!

"Pajama Party" Rogue Party

Quick picks!

TW: None

Riddler

They are not all green, but green shows up often even in his out of work clothing. Either as trim or the spare speckles of paint or markers he's used. His pajamas are not free from this.

He likes soft, but also good-looking pajamas (in case of guests). However... does he wear them? On the occasions he actually goes to bed and doesn't just pass out over an invention or plans, yes! Otherwise...

Penguin

Silk. Monogrammed. Paid way too damn much for them but they're also perfectly tailored to his... proportions. He figures it's not that dissimilar to how he has to have his suits customized. The soft feeling of them against his skin is blissful. Makes him feel rich.

Mad Hatter

Has multiple nightshirts in a variety of colors and patterns. He doesn't actually like full two-piece pajamas because they remind him far too much of the scrub-like outfits he was made to wear in Arkham.

You could 100% get him on wearing kigurumi onsies if they were cute enough.

Scarecrow

He has a similar habit to Edward in that he falls asleep working pretty often. When he sets aside to actually go to bed, he wears a lot of old t-shirts with sweatpants. Many of them are from his days of being a professor (bought from the college store) or ones he came across over the years.

Music Meister

Buys cheesy print pajama sets on sale at like Kohl's or target. Multiple have music notes or even musical puns on the shirt. One shirt just says "I wish I lived in a musical" and he answers the door holding a yellow mug with the word "playbill" on it.

Victor Zsasz

Sleeps in whatever he's wearing that night or the nude. Have fun finding out which one when he gets in bed with you. Sometimes has the decency to pull off clothing that's caked with blood. At minimum he won't wear clothes with wet blood on them to bed! The bar is low but it's still a bar, right?

Killer Croc

There's a fair amount of times he sleeps in the nude simply because he already has a harder time finding clothing in his size. If he does wear something out of respect for whatever current company, it's a tank top with the largest sweats he could find. They're still stretched out from being over his thighs.

Harley Quinn

Oversized t-shirt or tank top with pajama shorts. She has a couple cute kigurumi onesies (including a hyena set to match her babies) for in the winter that she adores. Ultimate comfort creature when it comes to bed time.

Poison Ivy

It depends on if she's expecting to "impress" anybody. If she is, it's straight up lingerie that compliments against her green-hued skin. Teddies, corsets, whatever is going to make her target that much more susceptible. If not, it's a light silk robe where shes' still very attractive, it's just for her and not anyone else. Harley bought her a flannel set during a particularly harsh winter that she still pulls out when it gets too cold.

Two-Face

Jokes on you, it's not a pajama set split in the middle! ...It's actually a robe set along with rabbit slippers that are split in the middle. One white rabbit slipper, one pink and several multicolored robes sewn together from pairs. Harvey is kind of boring, he likes either monochrome with no pattern or stripes. Harv's side is leopard print or something else showy.

Black Mask

When he was growing up/a young man before the Incidents, he would wear five-hundred dollar minimum pajamas that had designer names on them. He still owns some of those sets so he does in fact wear them from time to time. However, his are more likely to have a fancier aesthetic than him spending that much money still.

Mr. Freeze

Due to the temperature requirements of his body, there are times he'll sleep in the suit. Is it good for him? Absolutely not, it does murder to his back. Plus the suit is a bit heavy for a mattress... he does have a sleeping chamber set to a low temperature where he'll effectively sleep in trunks on the bed with only a sheet covering him.

Ra's al-Ghul

Usually sleeps shirtless in a loose pair of cotton pants when he's closer to home where it's much warmer. In Gotham, though? In the winter? He'll wear thicker robes that will actually keep him warm.

Bane

He wears boxers to bed. He'll combine it with socks in the winter. It doesn't get more complex than that, honestly.

Continuing my Precure stuff. Today we have Minori and Sango!

There are several things for them of which half come because of Laura and the other half because of Precure.

In Minori's case, she gets thorns, and various additions to her body that make her technically a 'fruit', we get the usual gills (Laura's fault) and a bunch of freckles for the girl!

Although they are not freckles since they are seeds and she can remove them, although more will appear after a few hours. oh yeah, she's also immune to a lot of poisons, as in, she definitely could drink a whole glass of pure potassium and survive because hey, bananas have portacio too! (very little but she enters her territory so, immune)

Honestly she's pretty happy with the changes, she's weird that way (affectionate)

Towards the other side is the Sango girl! She doesn't have freckles, what she does have are pores, although you don't really notice the difference until you touch the skin and it's so strange to other people, the gills she has are actually even bigger pores and they work exactly the same.

She has many coral features! Only they are less visible than her companions, she can regenerate/has a great healing factor and while she is healthy she could take a hit from one of the villains and not even feel it, She could LOSE AN ARM and three hours after a good meal and with a nap she would be as good as new, as if literally everything that corresponds to the regeneration of her body was multiplied by 100

This is because sea corals are healthy and strong when the sea is healthy and strong, Sango's body is THE sea, so as long as she is healthy, everything will be fine.

She can also change her hair and skin color, depending on what she eats in a week, for example, if she eats a lot of strawberry in one day, the next she may be mostly pink.

If Minori continues to transform after the end (she will 100%) she will get a tail, which is pretty good in her opinion.

LESIONE[レシオネ] from PLESIOSAURUS[プレシオザウルス] and... I'm gonna just guess and say NESSIE[ネッシー] the Loch Ness monster?

BIAN-SNOW[ビアンスノー] from BIANCO[ビアンコ]: "white" and SNOW

SAND-LESI[サンドレッシー]

HIBIS[ハイビス] from HIBISCUS[ハイビスカス]

GREELEAF[グリリーフ] GREEN LEAF

CORAL[コラール]

DIAMANTE[ディアマンテ]

SHEEPIE[シーピー] SHEEP and NESSIE? Really? Not a play on capricorn? ...it's a literal sea goat...

METAL-HEAD[メタルヘッド]

MARSHAMALLOWSAURUS[マシマロサウルス]previously PLUSHIE[プラッシー]

MAGMA-LESSIE[マグマレッシー]

GRAPIE[グレーピ]from GRAPE and LESIE

SHAARII[シャーリー] I think it's supposed to be a play on SHARI[しゃり] the rice you prep for sushi because SaiRoller sits on its wheel like sashimi? But you'd think that'd make more sense for the reverse, a Sai-Roller/Lesione because the wheel would be rice and the Rhino would be fish skinned.

NANIWA-LESSIE[ナニワレッシー] from NANIWA[難波] an older name for what's now Osaka? Why is it a clown?> Just a dig at okinawan people????

GELATINSAURO[ゼラチノサウロ] GELATIN and SAUROPOD

MERLION[マーライオン] with the same MAA[マー] as MERMAID[マーメイド] and LION. You'd think there'd be easier Sealion puns to make.

SCARABIO[スカラビオ] from SCARAB but I don't know what the BIO/VIO tacked onto the end there is

U.M.A.[ユーマ] Unidentified Mysterious Animal, a term the japanese use for cryptids

UMINAIBI[ウミナイビ] I think from a ryukyu dialect word for "Princess"?

LESIE-ORCA[レシオルカ] like the ORCA aka killer whale

MIMIZUKI[ミミズキ] I assume from MMI[耳]: "ear" and ZUKIN[頭巾]: "headpiece"

RUBIA[レビア] like the genus Rubia with the Red Madder in it that lends to a lot of traditional red dyes? Or just generally a play on the Latin root, Rubra, for "red" and where we get Ruby from.

BRACHIOS[ブラキオス] from BRACHIOSAURUS

LEVIAN[レビアン] contracted from LEVIATHAN maybe?

OLIVIA[オリビア] like the name meaning "Olive tree" maybe because of its suezo coloration looking like olvie oil?

SHIRUKISU[シルキース] so this is written like SILKIES the scottish creature sort of compared to a variation of a Brownie, but I think it was supposed to be SELKIES, which fits the katakana less but the aquatic creature theme way closer

PURASHIO[プラシオ]No idea what this is supposed to be... It's a Tiger subtype?? PLASSIO?

REINDY[レインディー] like REINDEER and MOGY; the data blub mentions delivering presents to kids

SHADY[シェイディー]

PALEO[パレオ] like PALEOLITHIC?

IRASSIE[イラッシー] the data blur mentions Irako Meibutsu no UMA[イラこめいぶつのＵＭＡ]: "Irako (locally)well-known UMA" so I assumed it was in reference to a prefecture or town or something, but all I could find was a cape called IRAGO[伊良]. I don't know if that quite checks out. Otherwise there seems to be a well known food supply ship from WWI called the IRAKO[伊良湖] but it has no association with any kind of UMA or any other urban legends?

MELUSINE[メルシーネ] From MÉLUSINE, a water spirit in French folk lore, said to dwell in a well with a fish or snake's lower half.

REGIAS[レギアス] like the latin for royal? But it's unclear why this would be from a Raiden subtype if that's the case...

POISON-LESIE[ポイズンレッシー]（レシオネ+ギタン）

LEGAIA[レガイア] what like the jrpg?? At a glance I thought it said "Regia" but that's not right, there's the extra -A in there.

BIHAKU-RYUU[ビハクリュウ] From BIHAKU[美白]: "beautifully white" and HAKURYUU[白龍]: "white dragon." It is confusingly not white???

KOKE-MOMO[コケモモ] from KOKE[鱗]: "(fish)scale" and MOMO[桃]: "peach/pink"?

Hey bud. Got some Starburst duo headcanons for ya

Chris has an allergy to bees. They obviously can't sting him because of his steel skin, but whenever he's near them, he gets bad itchy rashes on himself (usually on his neck and face first) and has to get away from them before it gets worse

Jake loves mushroom toppings on his pizza. Chris loves pineapple and sausages on his

Jake loves the color red. Chris likes purple and pale pink

At certain times, Jake will panic about stuff and can sometimes exaggerate things a bit because of it, especially whenever he's trying to solve a case since he'll get a little too ahead of himself while still in the middle of putting things together, which can make him look a little like a drama queen during moments in front of others

Jake owns a fish named Sammy

Chris enjoys the rain at night during bedtime since it's peaceful to him

Chris' favorite animals are birds and horses

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I Like these, Buddy. I like them A WHOLE LOT @spider-jaysart

💙💖💙

If I may add a tad bit more or maybe expand on these;

- Sammy in particular is a small common clownfish and lives inside one of the biggest tanks they can afford that can fit inside the apartment’s living room. Jake consistently keeps his eyes on Sammy whenever he’s in the living room; he’s seen plenty of online videos of the worst fish owners imaginable and he’s determined not to repeat their mistakes

- One of Chris’ annoyances that can truly get to souring his mood would be seeing bad takes and posts from anywhere that state claims of ‘Superman is an alien who only does the good things because it makes us humans puny, insignificant and stupid compared to other beings’, ‘Superboy Red is only great at thing and that’s being an utter waste of genes and he can’t even do that right’, basically any takes that discredit his family is something he truly doesn’t appreciate

- Some of the classmates at Chris’ school often compare his relationship with Thara to that of Peter Parker and MJ Watson not just due to the latter having similar enough red hair to MJ but also her more outgoing and spunky personality that complements Chris’ more introspective and relatively reserved one brings in mind the similarities to Peter X MJ. Even Chris can comment that those comparisons aren’t necessarily unfounded

- Due to his 6 stomachs and physiology, Jake can tolerate eating less than adequate food at restaurants and is pretty resilient to food borne illnesses. That being all said, it also helps him detect if a meal or few aren’t healthy for regular humans to have less they risk food poisoning. Anytime Jake is in the kitchen whether it be for late night snacks or even volunteering to make dinner, he’s almost religiously very careful about what his hands touch and keeping them clean when possible so that he doesn’t risk cross contamination. Having Chris as a companion in the kitchen in turn becomes very handy via the latter having microscopic and x ray vision at his disposal.

Welcome back to Haul of Fame, your must-read beauty roundup for new products, new ideas and a satisfying The Bling Ring Easter egg. Included in today’s issue: Allies of Skin, Aprilskin, Beekman 1802, Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury, Cyklar, Drybar, Eight Saints, Sir Elton John, Fenty Beauty, Flamingo Estate, Grown Alchemist, Hume Supernatural, Les Filles en Rouge, Makeup Eraser, Oak Essentials, Oribe, Parfums de Marly, Pattern Beauty, SZA, Tom Ford Beauty, Turtle Inn, Valentino Beauty and Voldemort. But first… I binged The Pitt last weekend. The stellar Max show follows former E.R. ingenue Noah Wylie as a now-grizzled, but still hot, medical warrior named Dr. Robby helming the emergency room of an understaffed, overbooked hospital in Pittsburgh. It is a riveting peek into bare-bones heroism, with doctors and nurses working overtime to save shooting victims, car crash invalids and one very unfortunate beauty influencer who gets (minor spoiler incoming) mercury poisoning from her face cream. The show has been challenged as an E.R. “dupe” by the estate of the original soap opera’s creator; Max and Warner Brothers say it’s a “completely different show.” After all, E.R. was a prime time hit while The Pitt is prestige TV, something that’s more sophisticated but just as binge-worthy. (And twice as expensive to watch.) The whole spat mirrors a phenomenon happening in the beauty market, which has seen a deluge of product copycats that feel more prestigious, and cost more cash, than their originals. Welcome to the brave new world of the “prestige dupe.” The Pitt's Dr. Robby, after picking up an undereye balm and foot masks. (Faran Krentcil/Warner Bros/Max) You can see it in Lancôme’s Skin Idôle Serum Supertint, a second-skin formula for glowing complexions that boasts glowing industry reviews. The product launched two weeks ago with an Emma Chamberlain video and a Reddit thread titled “Looks Familiar?” It sure did — because the product’s packaging is near-identical to Urban Decay’s Face Bond foundation, along with extremely similar ingredients and product claims. But Lancôme’s version is packaged with a more elegant white cap instead of a My Little Pony-esque purple one, and costs eight dollars more than Urban Decay’s $40 formula, even though both were created by parent company L’Oréal. (In this case, the dupe is coming from inside the house.)Other prestige dupes are floating through the Sephorasphere. Besides the Lancôme-Urban Decay magic mirror, there’s also Estée Lauder’s new Pure Color Melt-On Glosstick, a lusciously smooth $38 formula that comes in a click-from-the-bottom metallic applicator and reflects Tarte’s frenzy-selling Maracuja glossy lip balms. The formulas have similar overlap, but Tarte’s goes for $27 — $19 cheaper than Lauder’s new arrival. Even under-$10 products aren’t exempt. Check out the classic Rosebud Salve, a $7 round tin of pink seed-oil balm that’s echoed in Sephora’s beloved Lip Butter, an $8 round tin of (you guessed it) pink seed-oil balm. But though the products may be considered dupes, the people behind them are not rubes. Lancôme, Lauder, LVMH — the talent at these brands is tippy-top calibre. The decisions are deliberate, and the strategy behind these echo-products isn’t to copy the formulas or even the success of the originals. It’s to siphon off a market segment with money, but not patience, to burn: Gen X, the very same generation that turned Noah Wyle and his Pitt co-star Shawn Hatosy into It Boys circa 1997. “If your go-to is Lancôme, you might think Urban Decay is something for pop stars or people who stay out all night,” says a L’Oréal hired gun who’s name we’re absolutely not gonna use here. They note that the 45+ customer is willing to spend more on foundation if it’s the right foundation. “They know themselves. They’re not excited about being trendy.” What’s more, Gen X women do not need to feel “empowered” because economically, they are already among society’s most powerful. (If you don’t believe me, witness the persistence of skinny jeans, a Gen X staple with a lifespan that now rivals another never-ending medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy.) Likewise, while someone’s college-age daughter may covet Tarte’s lip balms, a 50-something woman might seek a sleeker version for herself while buying Lauder’s best-selling Advanced Night Repair serum. And yes, the 23-year-old Chamberlain stars in the Lancôme ads — but she also represents Gen Z’s emerging creator millionaires, who worship at the altar ’90s minimalism and Gen X detachment on frenzied weekly podcasts and livestreams. The awe is very real, and therefore can convert into sales metrics. If brands want to test their own prestige dupe strategy, think of the goal product as an echo of the original. Eliminate playful shimmer in favor of a smooth gleam, both in packaging and in formula. Consider — as Lancôme does with Chamberlain — the link-up points between your core Gen X audience of sophisticated, cool women and the emerging Gen Z market of 20-something who would rather go to a book club than a nightclub… but still insist they look fantastic on the grid. And, as we learned from The Pitt, please avoid both toxic ingredients and emotionally unavailable men. (Especially if they might become your new CEO.)What else is new…SkincareGwyneth Paltrow uses Avene’s thermal spring water spray so now I must use Avene thermal spring water spray. It’s $19 and peeping out behind the Goop Glow tubes on her Instagram stories. It’s the Jon Hamm and Sofia Coppola crossover you didn’t know you needed. (I didn’t, anyway.) On April 11, the Apple TV+ show “Your Friends and Neighbors” casually name-dropped the Coppola-owned Belize hideaway the Turtle Inn as a symbol of “you will never afford this” supremacy. Spoiler alert: It’s such a bratty mention, it inspires Jon Hamm to rob the vacationing family’s house when they’re away. Which is also a plot point on The Bling Ring, which was directed by — all together now — Sofia Coppola. Ah, the circle of life!On April 14, Beekman 1802 introduced its first-ever sunscreen, Solar Milk Clear. It’s an SPF 40 formula with goat milk and pink algae in the $40 formula. Baah, etc.Welcome to Nordstrom, Grown Alchemist! The brand that usurped Kiehl’s in the Equinox locker room arrived at Nordstrom.com on Apr. 15 with 29 products, including face, body and hair options. I don’t know if “Bubbleyum for your complexion” is the dream here, but Aprilskin is going for it. On April 15, the K-beauty brand dropped its TXA line, a range of five skincare products loaded with tranexamic acid, which promises a brightening, balancing effect on the skin tone. The most intriguing product is the Pink Bubblegum Deep Cleanser, which promises “a uniquely chewy, stretchy formula [that] adheres to skin, helping to absorb and lift away blackheads, pore-clogging impurities, and excess sebum.” Weird, but maybe in a good way!On April 16, Allies of Skin launched a two-in-one moisturiser that’s got SPF 50 and self-tanner in the same $59 formula. It’s like when Harry and Voldemort’s wands connect, but with sun stuff. Oak Essentials is tub thumping. On April 16, the swiftly rising brand by Jenni Kayne launched Dream Bath Soak, a $46 jar of magnesium and Coipa Balsam, an oil resin harvested by Indigenous communities in the Amazon meant to help skin rebound from stress or fatigue. (Also to help skin rebound from stress and fatigue: a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a lager drink, a cider drink … etc.) Cyklar’s Glycolic Acid Body Spray looks like one of those aerosol SPF cans but sprays a peptide-infused formula that helps brighten areas of hyperpigmentation. It’s $34 and debuted on April 16.Do you want to look like a Care Bear? I do, so I’m pretty stoked about MakeUp Eraser’s Cooling Clouds Face Patches, a line of magenta puffy clouds that turn cold when they’re wet and help reduce redness or puffiness from hot weather, workouts and injectables. They launched on April 17 for $12.MakeupMascara is in its espresso era. Just after Lisa Eldridge, Ilia and Tarte dropped new brown lash goo, Fenty Beauty has released its own mocha shade for its Hella Thicc mascara line. This one’s $20, and comes with a new companion product, Hella Extra primer, a $24 tube of clear extension gel. Both hit shelves on April 11. Kate Moss’s eyeliner? We got you. On April 15, Charlotte Tilbury relaunched the supermodel’s favorite shade — Bedroom Black — of Rock ‘n’ Kohl Eyeliner, along with two more matte hues and three metallic ones. $32 each. On April 16, Chillhouse dropped a new gel-adjacent polish and topcoat called Forever Wear meant to extend the life of a typical manicure. The bottles are $12 each and have the same puffy letters as Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild and, of course, Coachtopia. Advice: Nail down your brand’s long-tail keywords around “waterline” now. The term — which refers to the tiny sliver of space where your lashes meet your eyelids — is getting heightened traction on search engines and TikTok streams; Sephora has wisely siloed its precision eyeliners into a breakout “waterline” page. On April 17, Credo went there, too, with the introduction of Soshe’s Waterline Eye Brightener, a $24 flesh-toned pencil meant to help define and pop the eyes. Is there room for another celebrity beauty line? SZA is down to find out. The cool-girl musician (and breakout star of Netflix’s delightful buddy comedy, One of Them Days) is now the proud creator of three lip glosses launched under the label “Not Beauty.” The lip products come in three shades, cost $23 each, and debuted exclusively at SZA’s Minneapolis show on April 19, with future purchase opportunities along her tour route. The good news: The glosses look amazing. The tricky news: As of this writing, the brand website doesn’t appear anywhere on Google search’s first three pages when you type in “SZA lip gloss.” SEO experts, help her out! Another day, another question about Alessandro Michele’s role (if any) in Valentino Beauty’s current designs. On April 15, the brand unveiled Puffer Complex, a shimmering lip plumper gloss with hot pink packaging and names like “Dazzling Mermaid” and “In My Glowing Era.” The product is wildly cute and flawlessly glossy — two phrases you’d never associate with Michele’s master world-building experiment inside the Valentino machine. Let’s keep watching this space. Lipstick but make it home decor? On April 19, Les Filles En Rouje, the beauty collection sprung from Jeanne Damas’ fashion line Rouje, introduced La Palette Charme, a hefty gold compact meant to linger on the nightstand like a perfume bottle. It’s loaded with raspberry, pink, brown and shimmery taupe lip shades, and aims to cement the label’s makeup as a prestige score that you want to show off.HaircareTracee Ellis Ross nabbed a good copy team. The founder of Pattern Beauty unleashed her Revitalizing Scalp Scrub on April 9 with the tagline “scrub, rinse, rejoice.” (Adorbs.) The $29 formula has cucumber and pink sea salt, and promises to clear the scalp of buildup without stripping moisture. On April 14, Drybar launched its Blowout Defense collection, including a shampoo, conditioner and “blowout accelerator spray” that claim to protect hair from heat damage while making heat styling last longer. Prices start at $29.Attention, Solidcore clients: Starting April 18, you can touch up your ponytail with Oribe Gold Lust dry shampoo. It’ll be in all the locker rooms. FragranceHello Upper East Siders — or should I say bonjour? On April 8, Parfums de Marly opened its new boutique at 796 Madison Avenue. The store was designed by Hubert de Malherbe, who’s also responsible for Dior and Givenchy beauty retail spaces, and counts Carolina Herrera and Dolce & Gabbana as neighbours, which seems exactly right. Did you know Sir Elton John has a sold-out candle collection with QVC? Me neither, but it returned on April 14, with scents like Ivy’s Rose Garden, Lavender Petals and Rhubarb Strawberry Crumble. (Personally, I would buy “Rocket Man” incense in a heartbeat…)Flamingo Estate’s Prinsesstarta candle dropped on April 15 with notes of powdered almond. It’s inspired by the Principessa cake at upscale Italian restaurant chain St. Ambroeus; adorable.Chanel’s newest scent, Chance Eau Splendide, hit US shelves on April 15. It’s a raspberry and geranium-based scent with a bright lilac bottle and an upcoming Los Angeles moment: On April 30, the brand will host an experiential pop-up space at The Grove. I’m told it includes a branded photo booth — whether it can rival Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber’s 818 x Rhode photo booth at Coachella is TBD… and likely depends on some star power. Anaya, see you there?On April 17, the Bob Marley Estate released six scents inspired by Jamaican flowers and fruit nectars, including Soul Rebel (a grapefruit base) and Place of Peace (bergamot and star apple). Each bottle retails for $140 and features Marley’s handwriting engraved on the front. Today, I saw Tom Ford fragrances for 40% off at Target, which is amazing because… uh… Target is not a licensed vendor for Tom Ford Beauty.And finally…On the same day that Katy Perry launched into space, L’Oréal sent out a “get the look” announcement about her makeup, done by Alexandra French. Among the products used: Infallible Setting Spray, Full Wear Concealer and Glass Highlighter Stick. L’Oréal also listed Fresh Wear Foundation powder, which is interesting, since when influencer Kellie Gerardi went up on the Virgin Galactic space flight in 2023, she told Glamour that powder is banned from spacecraft: “Powders are a big liability. Powder particles can float into someone’s lungs or into the delicate machinery.” Either the powder was used after she landed, or that setting spray needs a bigger ad campaign, because it was basically used as intergalactic glue.

I want a Tall Pointy Tower because I also want the vantage point to be able to see when people are going to arrive at my place of business / home. Got to have time to put on my outfit for wizard work instead of my stars and moon pajamas!

A cabin in the woods would also allow bad people to hide behind trees and then shoot you with a crossbow. Sure it might be a little bit easier to hide but if somebody wants to run a business you would rather be easier to spot in my opinion. I also think I would want to protect the wildlife if something goes astray by having it up above the tree line or on a cliff in case something explodes, catches fire, or leaks. I've got to do my part to prevent catastrophic disaster!

It would be like a live-in store: the downstairs would have all of the for-sale potions and alchemist's armour, ingredients, spells, scrolls... stuff like that. I could even have a section for kids to learn how to craft basic salves that can turn their skin green and purple, or a flying rug ride for the little ones to be entertained while mum spends way too long looking around in the poisonous plants section in a personal debate over whether to buy them because 'damn they're very pretty but they could also kill me'. There could be a section for enchanted swords and you would see a lot of men boasting about how they can wield the weapons but a lot more women would be actually buying them.

Then there's the upstairs section of my beautiful tower where I would have my downey bed and fireplace, my plush blanket, my herbal teas, a meat pie baking in the oven, and a ton of hanging vine plants just starting to flower in little pink and yellow blossoms, adding a touch of color to the grey and mossy green stone walls where the tapestries and shelves filled with projects and books don't quite cover.

I would have a soak in my claw footed bathtub, deep enough to submerge two people at the same time, after a hard day of hunching over in the garden out back digging up roots to make a new herb bed, and then afterwards I would dig around in my wardrobe full of robes and sweats alike for something cozy. My hat hooks for the various wizard and witch hats to match my outfits would be just next to the spiral stairwell, and on the opposite side of the fireplace to prevent it from over boiling would be a section for a brewing stand so that I can make my concoctions in peace instead of in public view where somebody could be a little bit too mischievous and end up tossing a toad in my caldron thinking it would be funny, either making a massive toad monster or just fucking up somebody's healing spell and that would be very good for future business, now would it?

Oh yeah and the broomstick organizers for guests, like a bicycle parking spot. I could have a little gargoyle guarding it so that nobody would grab the wrong broom.

I could also have a barrier on my upper canopy so that only me and any specific guests that I allow to do so could land on it and enter my personal room.

And of course my cat, but it's not like I could stop her anyways. She does what she wants.

pick your wizard home

chipotle order?

OZ version is GYG or Zambrero in which case the beef burrito from GYG is somehow the shit, but zambie's used to have like an adobo chicken that was curried almost which was astonishingly delicious but now they don't do it, but I would suggest if you're making a burrito please put some curry in your pulled chicken or pork because it weirdly works so well with all the other regular mexican flavours

thoughts on veganism?

far too much work and you'll find yourself talking about it all the time. if you have to ask whether sour patch kids have gelatine in them and whether you're killing the planet by eating fists full of sugar shaped like pink watermelon babies, it's negating not having a bloody chicken wing once a decade

a specific color that gives you the ick?

really pale, almost washed out white people skin. like the peaky skin of someone who's about to be sick

mythical creature you think/believe is real?

I've encountered enough river eels to imagine that something fucked up and huge lives in Loch Ness. Or the Ogopogo in Canada. Or the Mongolian death worm. A giant worm in the sand dunes of the Gobi desert? Probably!

favorite form of potato?

Creamy dauphinoise with a tiny bit of chili in it. Or a really crisp latke.

do you use a watch?

no, irrelevant creation. also calling it a timepiece is so ridiculous.

what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

OCTOPUS

do you change into specific clothes for the house when you get home?

anything where i'm not sweaty and my balls can meet their best friends, my knees

do you have a skincare routine (and how many steps is it)?
