"...Wait.

Is he a singer...? Huh. Never would have guessed."

Overhead, the stars shone clear and bright, and though Mala had only once appeared to him at dawn, on the foothills across this very city, though she might be little more than a strange, mighty being from another world, he offered up a prayer anyway.

Then, he had begged Mala to protect Aelin from Maeve when they entered Doranelle, to give her strength and guidance, and to let her walk out alive. Then, he had begged Mala to let him remain with Aelin, the woman he loved. The goddess had been little more than a sunbeam in the rising dawn, and yet he had felt her smile at him.

Tonight, with only the cold fire of the stars for company, he begged her once more.

A curl of wind sent his prayer drifting to those stars, to the waxing moon silvering the camp, the river, the mountains.

He had killed his way across the world; he had gone to war and back more times than he cared to remember. And despite it all, despite the rage and despair and ice he'd wrapped around his heart, he'd still found Aelin. Every horizon he'd gazed toward, unable and unwilling to rest during those centuries, every mountain and ocean he'd seen and wondered what lay beyond... It had been her. It had been Aelin, the silent call of the mating bond driving him, even when he could not feel it.

They'd walked this dark path together back to the light. He would not let the road end here.

Currently taking a Research Methodology course. The final project is a literature review on a topic of our choice.

My topic is the efficacy of psychological interventions for those with chronic pain.

It's been super interesting. One thing of note is that a lot of the studies show only small improvements, but those improvements are typically in the same range as other common treatments (meds, physio, massage etc.). A lot of what I've read acknowledges that chronic pain is different than acute pain.

One thing I've seen a lot is resistance to psychological interventions (CBT, ACT, mindfulness etc.) because the individual feels a need to assert that their pain is real and not "all in their head" and can't be fixed by thinking (just like positive thinking doesn't change stairs into a ramp). The encouraging thing I'm seeing in these studies is that researchers know this too, and the point of these interventions is how to better live with the pain, not how to make it go away.

A couple of the studies even acknowledge that the stigma around invisible illness and the difficulty patients have getting doctors to take them seriously impacts their openness to psychological intervention.

It's been a really interesting project.

⟢ Hermione Granger ⟢

To say you are academic rivals with Granger is an overstatement. Sure, the two of you are often toe-to-toe for the highest grade in all the classes you shared together but the two of you aren't exactly competing with each other. No, you are not studying together either.

Merlin, the extent of your exchange with her are within the vicinity of a classroom. In other words, you are not friends with her; simply a classmate.

However, it seems that everyone else sees it differently - to them, you two are friends.

And that's affecting the current status of your relationship with her.

Instead of the usual nod, Granger started to actually greet you whenever she passes by you in the hallways. Other times she'd even wave with a big smile.

It's weird, this sudden change though you accept it nonetheless.

So when she choose to sit next to you in History of Magic one random afternoon, you didn't mind it.

Despite teaching the subject for hundreds of years, Professor Binns has no desire to make the class interesting. Students are failing to stay focused, a few just straight up sleeping or have a full on conversation, and you... well, you are distracted for an entirely different reason.

Your wrist hurts.

A single glance, you are sure it's actually swelling. A second glance, you could see it's turning purple.

An unfortunate accident involving hyperactive third years who were throwing jinxes at each other in which a stray leg-locking jinx hit you had occurred just an hour ago.

The jinx didn't cause the swelling. You suspect the impact from falling on the hard ground where your hand twisted in the way it shouldn't is the primary reason for the swelling now. It didn't hurt as much at first, just a little sore paired with an off feeling when you bend it. Nothing that warrants immediate care, at least for you it isn't urgent-

"My goodness, are you alright?" Hermione spoke, cutting your train of thoughts.

You offer her a stiff nod and a vague explanation of what happened.

She looks around at first, focusing a few moments more on Binns as he float through the student at the back. She turns back to you, a wand ready at hand and whisper a quick spell with a flick of foreign movements. Clearly a spell above your year.

The strange feeling starts to decrease considerably, you look at your wrist and see that the swell reduced to a simple - almost unnoticeable - bump, and the colour returns to your normal skin tone.

"I'm sorry it's not perfect yet." She says. "I'm still practicing it but one only could practice so much when injury does not come by often."

When you suggest helping out in the Hospital Wing to her, she shrugs saying that healer career isn't what she aims at the moment - only increasing her spells arsenal.

Interesting, you think. But before you could follow up, Professor Binns returns to the front, still droning about the International Confederation of Wizards.

Well, to say you are academic rivals with Granger is an overstatement... but maybe, just maybe, becoming a friend is the first step.

their little chat about how it feels to be back made it feel like maybe this was the last "Gaming" gamingmas video, so i'm hoping that's what it was and we're getting unorthodox videos for the rest of gamingmas (except for devan wedding because that's a given)

quick question for anyone who remembers but does dojima p4 know about all the supernatural stuff going on in the persona games by the end of p4 or not?? or like at all at any point, including the arena games and such.

[dragon-zena]

If I think too much about ryuji's treatment in p5 I feel bonkers

Any idiot thinking AB is pregnant should probably realize she photoshopped she recent GQ pics AND Chris would have had to have touched her, if that kiss pic was any inclination……I doubt they’ve done anything more than that peck. 😂

The chemistry is nonexistent. I’d believe him and Lily James over the woman he’s supposedly married to.

SAME!!!

When the Lily James stuff was revealed, I was actually convinced that they were a thing now. That they spent the night, and had a cute time together in London.

With Albitch, the guy is trying to outrun her 😆 and definitely doesn't want her cooties all over him.

He hates her, THAT much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So, yes. I'm officially calling bullshit on those pregnancy rumors!!!

Someone who makes gifs plz make a gifset with that line in people pt.2 where Yoongi goes like "wasn't loved enough as a kid, that's why I'm the cautious type" and then moments where bts told yoongi they loved him okay thank you

“She had no magic to wield, save for the keen eyes of the goddess at her shoulder and an uncanny ability to remain unnoticed, to play into expectations.”

I don't think Peppino's exactly angry at Fake, he's just in shock.

They both just acted on instinct.

⟢ Harry Potter ��

Clumsy is a new, unwelcomed habit for you. You didn't know when it truly started, but recently you notice that you'd bump into walls, hit a corner of tables, or trip over nothing like it's a superstition ritual to fend off bad luck as ironic as that sounds. Or just maybe.. your luck ran out.

You've collected quite an amount of bruises across your body, all fairly hidden by your long sleeves and long pants; it's winter and you're not taking any chances despite the existence of the warming charm.

On a particularly less cold day and around thirty minutes in brewing a potion, you decided to discard your robe, loosen a few buttons, and roll up your sleeves. In the dim setting of the classroom, the marks from your carelessness does not appear clearly but as soon as the class is done and everyone rushes out for a fresh air, the partially clouded sun provides just enough light to alert Harry.

He grabs your hand, the one you were in the middle of rolling down the sleeve of, and hold it close to his eyes. He observes a little more than a second, seemingly fighting against something in his mind, then he asks; what happened? did someone do this? when? are you alright? have you gone to Madam Pomfrey?

You chuckle at his display of concern which only bring confusion to his face.

Harry says your name in a gentle reproach.

With a soft smile tugging at the corners of your lips, you slowly explain the lack of spatial awareness and sudden incoordination that you recently gained as the two of you begin to walk towards the Great Hall.

He reddened at his misjudgement of your bruises and apologise for assuming terrible things at first but you find his concerns all too heartwarming to even nitpick at his assumptions.

Over the next few weeks, old bruises healed with considerably less amount of new ones forming. The talk with Harry encouraged you to try and be more aware and cautious, but you have an inkling that a certain green eyed bespectacled boy is the true reason for your lessening accidents.

The way you'd hit his hand instead of a corner of the table, or the little announcements he'd make when there's an uneven pathway, or how he'd randomly put an arm around your shoulder and steer you off your course (which then, from the corner of your eyes, you noticed it would've led you into a wall).

You suppose you still have some luck left after all.

You thank the world for him.
