#refurbished skates

[cannot-commit-to-reality]

A pair of skates I picked up at a charity shop, and spent the day cleaning

I’m so pleased with the results!

[ianthe-is-a-bitch-and-i-love-her]

I first realized that the best ghost stories are love stories after watching The Haunting of Bly Manor, and though I've experienced a lot of media since that reaffirmed that understanding, The Narrow by Kate Alice Marshall really feels like it's closing the loop. It rhymes with Bly in a way that feels like I've come to the end of some great journey, and am now prepared to start another. Like Bly, The Narrow is a story about abuse. It's a story about possession, in more than one sense. And it's a story that asserts that true love, the love that's worth keeping, is the love that knows how to let go.

Our story follows Eden, a senior at a prestigious private boarding high school rich with history and legends, especially around its deadly river, The Narrow, which is unapologetically based on the Bolton Strid. Eden is excited to return to school and escape a summer vacation marred by a profound abuse that she is refusing to think about. However, upon arrival she discovers that her parents have neglected to pay her tuition - coincidentally, they've had to pay a lot of legal fees recently - and she is forced to take on a unique arrangement to remain enrolled. She must act as the live-in companion of fellow student Delphine, a reclusive girl who cannot leave her carefully refurbished dorm room, as any contact with water sends her into seizures. Eden knows something about Delphine that almost no one else does, however - at the beginning of her first year, Eden saw Delphine fall into The Narrow and be swept away - and what The Narrow takes is never returned.

The mystery at the heart of the story is, ultimately, not that complicated, but it is beautiful in its simplicity and the way it plays with the reader's expectations. Those expectations are shaped heavily by Eden's point of view, and Eden is a triumph of an unreliable narrator. She actively avoids thinking about things that weigh on her and occasionally skates over her own actions where they clash with her self-image, but these more obvious and dramatic omissions draw attention away from the subtler ways that her biases and coping mechanisms shape her understanding of the world around her, and it took me until about the three-quarters mark to know where and how to disbelieve her perceptions. She is incredibly compelling, deeply empathetic, and absolutely drowning in self-worth issues. The supporting cast is equally compelling, and the author injects a surprising sense of depth into each member of her friend group in remarkably few lines. Each give the impression of being flawed, well-rounded, but fundamentally decent people, and they all feel very distinct from one another. I was going to highlight one of them as a favorite example, but I genuinely can't pick between them. The adults too are well-rounded and compelling, which I feel is often a shortcoming of horror in an academic setting (is that what dark academia is? no one will tell me). And of course Delphine herself is quite compelling; a little odd, very intense, and eminently sympathetic, her dynamic with Eden is fresh, engaging, and believable.

One thing I really want to highlight about this story is its willingness to engage with real-life messiness that is often elided in ghost stories and love stories. The mechanics of the supernatural are not well understood in this story, and no tomes of ancient lore exist to guide the protagonists. Their methods of interfacing with the supernatural are cobbled together from their own intuition and their vague impressions of the occult from pop culture and religious mysticism, and their efficacy is neither reliable nor consistent. Similarly, the story is not afraid of engaging with the fragility and volatility of young love, the way it can feel all-consuming and eternal in one moment and fizzle out the next. This sort of messiness always appeals to me in fiction, and it is remarkably rare outside of deliberate genre subversions, so I was absolutely thrilled with it here.

I would recommend The Narrow without hesitation to anyone who likes ghost stories. I would also recommend it for its exploration of abuse in a variety of forms, and for its depiction of the aftermath of said abuse. Take that same recommendation as a content warning, though, and I'll toss in a more specific one for involuntary drug use.

Oops I got that OC brainrot!

Since I'm back into FNAF here's my Security Breach oc, Marbles!

He's a refurbished animatronic that Fazbear Co slapped a new coat of paint on after buying him from another company that was "infringing on their copyright"

He works with DJ Music Man and is meant to reach the areas DJ can't. His AI still needs some catching up to do but he's really friendly and willing to learn what he can

Bonus Y/N inserts!

You were DJs handler beforehand so Fazbear Co decided to just up your paycheck and have you also be Marbles' handler. You were also the test run for how well Marbles can interact with people in the Plex, specifically teach them how to roller skate.

You aren't great at it and he teases you for it, but is always willing to slow down for you and let you connect to his systems to play your favorite music.

He is very friendly and close to you, always drifting over to you whenever he has the chance, but surely that's just because you're his first friend in the Plex. Nothing beyond that, right?

Modern au headcannons for upcoming stories

These head cannons are for my modern au that is set in the early 90's and extends through to present day. Ocs will come later for right now Isa and Dolores are only smol

Pepa owns a small business where she makes custom jewelry with crystals she tumbles herself. She also makes photo frames and nerdy home decor to sell.

Julieta runs a catering business out of the home. She has plenty of room and is excellent at time management. Her clients always leave astonishingly large tips for her because the quality of her work is so high.

Agustin is a carpenter, he works from 6am to 8 pm on weekdays and has weekends off unless there is an important deadline. He usually brings home the biggest weekly pay unless it's the holidays, then Pepa brings in big bucks for her commissions.

Felix works with his brothers at their pool and outdoor refurbishment company, depending on the day he could install a pool, mow lawns, pressure wash sidewalks, etc. He goes in at 7am after dropping the kids at school and is often home either by or before 6 the next evening. Rare occasions have him working later especially if complications arise with a pool

Isa and Dolores are extremely crafty and responsible. There's always some type of craft or project in progress between them. In their spare time they like to do all sorts of things as far as sports or creativity goes.

Luisa is often roped into the eldest two's shenanigans and she loves it because sometimes she feels left out because she's two years younger than them.

Mirabel and Camilo love to run and play while Pepa and Julieta keep watch. When they're playing their favorite game to play is pretend, Camilo has such a big imagination and Mirabel feeds off of him. They can come up with some wild stories

Dolores and mariano are high school sweethearts

Casita keeps magically growing and each kid has a subdued gift (ex Pepa only controls the weather of the room she's in or has a small cloud above her head only, Isabela can only make flowers bloom or form flowers in her hands)

Bruno is a truck driver and is seldom home, he comes home only for holidays or if he's in the area.

The house is on a half acre property and is completely fenced in.

All kids have bicycles and roller skates. The five of them like to take the evening and go around the block. The eldest can go by themselves to most places in town. Luisa is usually accompanied but can go on her own if she pleases, Mir and Milo must be accompanied if they leave the property.

There is a large backyard swing set and play house for the children to play on.

The eldest girls have flip phones. Though they hardly ever use them unless it's an emergency. They all love playing games on the family Nintendo (GameCube, then Wii after Christmas 2003)

To prevent arguments each family member has their own Gamecube and Wii remote to use.

Hope you enjoy ❤️

Finished one board, think I’m finna freehand another one. I found a split board in the back of the skate shop. I think ima refurbish it and see what I can create from the pieces yk?

[nova--spark]

A thing I need to draw eventually but

Anthea, in all her canons, at one point had :

-A decent pick up truck -A refurbished motorcycle

Both of which she sold off, to afford the tech and materials for her prosthetics. After that, she mostly walked or rollerbladed everywhere she needed to go, which wasn't by any means easy, especially in untimely weather , but it had taken a lot of money to afford what she could, to walk again.

She still skates, and enjoys it pleasantly, though now with the Autobots, she sometimes does take the rare offered ride back home or to base if the weather isn't exactly the best.

The strange traits of 2012 Casey Jones

He draws like Peter Laird

(Casey's notebook from the show on the left, Peter Laird on the right)

He prefers subbed anime and hates dubbed anime (Plan 10)

Made retractable skates for his sneakers, still can't pass trigonometry

Is one of few characters seen driving (does he have a license?)

Can't pass trig, but can make a taser out of a potato masher and a glove

He's left handed

Can refurbish an entire car, yet, he still can't pass trigonometry

Was canonically born in 1995, making him 17 at the start of the series

Hokey stick says Eastman and Laird, and only logical reasoning I have for that is that it's the name of his school and he's stealing equipment

His handwriting is perfect cursive, and he can't pass trig

His fighting style seems to be to build momentum by skating circles around his opponent, rather than being a tank, like most Caseys

He constantly carries around spray paint, and his clothes are covered in spray paint, but he's never seen doing graffiti

he does however tag opponents with spray paint, which is odd, considering it does very little

He also admires graffiti (the invasion)

Apparently, it looked to Raph like he was gonna kill a man the first time they met

Meaning it's implied that he would have/has killed or maimed

His reaction to a bunch of mutant turtles unmasking him was to hiss at them, like an animal

Still can't pass trigonometry

NAME: Flipped

LOCATION: Oldtown

Welcome to Flipped, Wicked’s Rest’s quintessential New England style breakfast diner that serves breakfast all day. While the name aptly describes the handling of their famous pancakes, it also describes some of the “creative physics” that take place in the area. Don’t worry about it. The diner is actually a refurbished train, forever stopped on the end of some non-functional tracks, which lends itself to a unique atmosphere. Though Flipped is known for their pancakes and waffles, their menu is a bit more extensive and they can offer eggs, sausages, bacon, hash browns, fresh fruit, soups, and salads. All of the servers will, of course, recommend the pancakes, though. They are that good. 

Utensils and even often pancakes get stuck to the ceiling without warning, just floating up from the tables as if gravity reversed. They’re hard to get down and some pancakes are still clinging up there in hard to reach spaces. So keep yours nicely secured to your plate, so it doesn’t end up on the ceiling along with Flappy, made in 2018.

While the diner owners insist that the train hasn’t been functional in decades and will never chug again, those eating in the diner sometimes swear they’re moving, and may even hear the whistle of the train.

The inside of the diner is really cramped (they prefer “cozy”) because it’s a train. However, they also have some outdoor seating for those busy weekend mornings. The servers zoom around from table to table on roller skates. 

In the winter they serve up complementary hot cocoa. However, their seating becomes really limited as they put the outdoor tables away. The marshmallows sometimes fly out of the mugs by themselves, so keep your hands secured over it. That’ll warm you up anyway.

Anyone who can eat 20 pancakes in one sitting gets a spot on the “Wall of Shame” and is immortalized as a part of the diner’s history. Weirdly, a number of the older photos are just photos of a blank wall, as if the person in question vanished from the photograph as the years went by.

One of the servers reported seeing blood dripping down the walls a while back. Not sure what that’s about. She claims it appeared in the Wall of Shame photos, too.

Upon leaving, some customers find that they’ve been changed in a way it takes a while to put their finger on. But when they look in the mirror, they’ll find their beauty mark on the other side of their face, or they may notice their wedding ring somehow switched hands.

"The site of one of the most fabled 'incidents' in Stanley Cup play has nothing to mark its passing, and perhaps no one is alive who witnessed what really happened on that cold winter's night in the early 1904 when the Toronoto Marlboroughs, champions of the Ontario Hockey Association, came to Ottawa to challenge the Silver Seven for the Stanley Cup.

The Cattle Castle is in decay. It sits— windows broken, paint flaking—, between the football field and the canal, a curious, slightly Moorish barn of a building that some people remember was once known as the Manufacturer's Building, but few recall as the glorious Lady Aberdeen Pavilion. State of the art in the 1890s, it is a sorry state in the 1990s, with debate raging between those who would spend nearly $10 million to refurbish it and those who would pay a wrecker to knock it down. At the end of the twentieth century it is used only by pigeons who nest along the rafters. Yet, when the century opened, these same rafters shook with the roars of a city so taken with hockey and skating it was said to have affected the very manner in which people in Ottawa walked."

Ottawa and the Stanley Cup by Roy MacGregor

Rottmnt oc head-cannons part two

continuing on with my rottmnt oc headcannons

I have already done Marcy’s right here, https://www.tumblr.com/little-mouse-gardens/734298414127382528/rottmnt-oc-head-cannons-so-im-gonna-be-doing-hcs and the other parr right here https://www.tumblr.com/little-mouse-gardens/734344664762777600/some-more-random-hcs-that-popped-up-in-my-head

And now I have finished Sunny’s!

- her mother let her grandparents pick the middle names of her and her sisters. Her grandparents chose her middle name to be rose because the first flowers she ever was close to were roses.

- has a matching skateboard and roller skate set (everyone in her family learned to roller skate at some point in their lives)

- used to be pretty good at basketball but she hated how aggressively competitive she got so she quit and just does it as a hobby

- hates going to bowling alleys because the noise in there gives her headache (she and Marcy just chill outside or go hang out by the arcade)

- Very good at nail art. Has a little shelf and kit in her room where she can do her nails or other peoples nails.

- loves up-cycling. Literally half the stuff she has in her room is stuff she’s refurbished and made into something new.

- Loves pottery, painting it and collecting molds to make different pieces. The basement area of her and her sisters home has a space where she keeps all the molds for pottery she randomly comes across and the kiln her grandfather gave her for Christmas

- prefers to keep her hair in braids because it’s just a little easier on her (hates when her hair gets tangled because her scalp is a tiny bit sensitive and it’s super painful for her) but she does like to style her hair differently every month or so.

- Collects and makes headbands, bandannas and clips to match with her outfits

- Favorite song is riptide by Vance joy (her and Skye love to swim so they always listen to this on trips to the beach or their grandparents farm)

- Struggles a lot with having mutant abilities and keeping them under-control in public spaces (inhuman strength makes her super terrified she’s gonna hurt someone) wears a necklace her mother asked senor hueso to buy for the girls to help out a bit in public so she doesn’t accidentally hurt someone

- Cares deeply about her sisters. Like would lay down her life for them and kill anyone who makes them cry (she’s a rationally sweet person up until a point) Knows all their tells and how they think. They may drive her crazy some days but she’ll always go to them when they need her the most.

- doesn’t have many memory’s about their dad (passed away when they were real young) but visits his grave every so often to drop off flowers (sometimes raph will go with her at night to comfort her)

- trying to improve her gardening skills, has a little set up in the kitchen and in her bedroom. Focuses on vegetables and flowers but has a herb garden safely tucked on the fire escape.

- Has a pet cat who she babies and a pet duck who lives on her grandparents farm. Likes to make little sweaters and bow ties for them both.

- When she gets older she gets a bunch of floral and wildflower tattoos. Mostly on her arms and ribs (she also got her and Raphs wedding rings tattooed)

- self care days and weekends are a must (her and raph include them as dates and couples activities when they started dating)

- Has scars on her ribs from getting captured by the kraang (covers them with tattoos for her eighteenth birthday)

- she and raph, after a build up, started dating halfway through the start of season two (he confessed to her while they were over at the lair) their first date was a rooftop picnic to watch a drive in movie. He got her some earrings as a gift and she sewed him a new bandana (she also stole a teddy bear from a stand for him but shhhhh-nobody knows about that)

- Hates when her stuff is messed with like-if she finds all her stuff messed around with, broken or missing there’s gonna be a problem

- Trying to learn to sew from her sister Marcy, knows how to knit but can’t embroider for the life of her

- buys a lot of cottagecore themed clothing

- Her room = cottagecore dream

- has a particular facial expression her siblings, raph (and eventually her and Raphs kids when they are older) call the stare down which is a signal that she’s not putting up with BS in the moment

- actually loves to read, her and Marcy visit the library twice a month for new books to read, favorite book is

- Collects a lot of cutesy or asthetic stationary to keep at her desk. Leaves frog sticky notes for raph to remind him to take a breather every now and then or notes to remind her sisters of something.

- Loves visiting her grandparents farm. Favorite place to hang out is the flower garden by the lake.

- Favorite fruit is Mangos or honeydew, used to eat it as a snack when she was little and she kind of just has a taste for it ever since

- Her and Raph love to knit, they have made each other hand made gifts like blankets and plushies all the time. (bought him knitting materials for Christmas because she saw he loved it so much)

- has a small collection of plushies she keeps in a hammock above her bed. Her favorite is a donut whale plushie she nicknamed jellybean (because she sprayed jellybean scented cologne on it to help her sleep)

- cuddling/physical affection and words of affection are her love language. So her and Raph can often be seen cuddling, holding hands or just laying across each other (sprawled out across his shell, despite the fact he is terrified he’s gonna hurt her like-BABE THE SPIKES-she doesn’t care, she loves every part of him spikes and all)

- face nuzzles? FACE NUZZLES. They do it all the time (donnie Claims it makes him wanna puke even though he literally does the same thing to marcy-HYPOCRITE)

- She tries her best to keep stress and pressure off of him, even if she’s stressed herself. Like distracting him for just a few moments by squeezing his hand or reminding to him to grab himself something to eat or drink. Comforts him through his panic attacks (just lets him hold onto her for support, and he does the same for her ect.)

- Basking with raph in the sun? Yes please. If she’s over at the lair, they just grab a couple blankets, pick the sunniest spot and just lay there basking in the sun for hours (the sweet boi literally just uses his shadow to shield her if she gets to hot) cuddled up together, playing video games, reading ect.

- definitely has MAJOR trauma from the kraang incident (seeing her future self, her sisters future selves, the future turtles die, nearly suffocating to death, raph getting turned into that kraang thing, her sisters almost drowning-) Carry’s a few scars across her back that she covers with tattoos later on. Her and raph just help each-other through nightmares, ect. Spontaneous group sleepovers because everyone’s having a bad night? Blankets and snacks acquired, favorite movies put on in the projection room in the lair or the living room over at the girls house and it’s a night of literally just everyone sticking to one spot.

[feverdreamdrifting]

when I wake up the world is icy white, refurbished in glitter, cold as hell, but my dad is gone for the day and my car is already clear of snow.

if you wanna love me, let’s talk lakes.

let’s talk zero degrees. if you wanna love me let’s talk summer heat, summer storms, summer fires. I’m really into the moment where you come around that corner and see the water for the first time. Let’s talk about that.

if you wanna love me, I want to see you on the slopes, nimble as one of your beloved chipmunks. I want you to belong where I belong. I want you to smell like sunscreen and citrus-scented deet. I want to see you in a toque, skating better than you can walk. love me, I say. know me, know me, know me.

[fishmech]

First things first, you are incorrect about there only being one year round roller skating rink in Philly.

I don't know who told you that, maybe you accidentally read something from when things were closed for the pandemic and most facilities were closed? But there are multiple facilities operating right now.

Here's the big classic indoor ones:

Rolling Thunder Skating Center is by far the largest in the city. It's full service indoor roller skating rinks and it's in Northeast Philly

Philly Play Pact operates an indoor roller skating/blading rink year round though its focus is more toward children and their parents, but anyone can skate most of the operating hours. It's in South Philly.

Philly SkatePlex, is part of a multi-activity recreation center with one of those complicated indoor playgrounds, a large arcade, and of course roller skating rinks. This is also Northeast Philly.

and then there are many more places that may just be called "roller hockey rink" or only be identified as part of a skate park now, but you can still roller skate there. and frankly there's quite a few year round ice rinks on top of that. you also have the major outdoor roller rinks switching over to ice skating rinks for colder months usually, like the big waterfront one. lots of people prefer the way some of those big ones switch it up between ice and roller depending on time of year, and ice skating all on its own is quite popular and well served with facilities in Philly.

and beyond that, there's a lot of facilities that are like, just outside the city, frankly some of them are closer to a lot of neighborhoods than the ones in the city proper are! there's a couple just over the various bridges in NJ, pretty much all of them accessible via transit. similarly there are others outside the city in the near suburbs in PA. Even the local one to where I grew up outside Philly which was actually shut down for a few years in the 2010s recently got revived, refurbished, and reopened.

maybe save your prophecies of doom for uh, things that are true? it ain't hard to roller skate in Philly!

Okay, I know I acted silly about this, but the fact that there is 1 singular year round roller skating rink in the city of Philadelphia home to 1.6 million people is kinda fucking horrifying when you think about the broader implications of it.

They're actually Schufftein glasses ( hellboy reference! ), making it easier for her to see the true form of things that are otherwise hidden to the naked eye / mere mortals. faeries, wesen ( when woged ), hellhounds, Shadowhunters ( when using the glamor rune ). ( added fact: Buffy does not wear the glasses 24/7, nor are they always with her when she's out and about. Due to being a rare and highly valued item, they're protected by magic and will only appear to her should she need them. If stolen ? They will immediately return to her or to where they're hidden. )

POWERS/ABILITIES,

Physical combat: As with every Slayer, Buffy possessed a natural proficiency with virtually all forms of weaponry and unarmed combat styles, and in addition to this she had years of combat training to hone in her skills using various martial arts (particularly jiu jitsu and aikido). Buffy tended towards a more improvisational approach to fighting, utilizing her emotions and anything in her environment that could help best her enemy. Her insistence to "go with the flow" during fights was sometimes looked down upon by others who considered her technique too "sloppy," but Buffy believed this gave her the upper hand. Even without her Slayer powers, Buffy retained her fighting skills and years of training; when temporarily stripped of her powers in the Supernatural Crisis Act, she was able to take on a human MMA fighter and defeat him.

Senses: Slayers possessed a heightened awareness of their surroundings, allowing them, with experience, to know the position of an attacker and fight them blindfolded or in the dark. As example of this, Buffy was able to pinpoint the position of invisible Marcie Ross by standing silently for a few seconds before landing a perfect punch; throw a ball at Giles after being spun while blindfolded; and sensed a trio of invisible demons quietly entering the room, alerted just in time to turn around and block an attack. However, Buffy never fully developed the Slayer power to sense supernatural activity, not knowing Angel and Willow were vampires until they revealed their demonic visage. Buffy normally relying on her wits to discern demons and vampires from humans, such as dated clothing indicating an immortal creature.

Psychic link: This link collected the memories of all past Slayers, experiences helped hone their skills and aid them in future battles. It allowed communication between coexisting Slayers through dreams, as Buffy and Faith shared several dreams when Faith was in a coma, providing the first cryptic reference to Dawn's arrival and Buffy's own death. Prophetic dreams: This ability allowed Buffy to foresee events such as various of her foes for her first year in Sunnydale, Angel losing his soul, Jenny Calendar's deception, the arrival of the Gentlemen, and the deaths of the Potentials Slayers by the Harbingers of Death.

Intellect: Although she was sometimes considered a dumb blonde by herself and others, Buffy frequently showed herself to be quite intelligent, possessing strong leadership skills and having a natural flair for tactical planning. Prominent examples of Buffy's intelligence included her near-perfect S.A.T. score, her defeat of Zachary Kralik by using his dependency on anti-psychotic medication against him, her quick deduction of the Buffybot's true nature, her rapid deduction of Riley's affiliation to the Initiative based on weeks of evidence, and her immediate realization of Katrina Silber's true murderer upon hearing her name at the police station. Mystical protection: After becoming the leader to the activated Slayers, Xander commented that Buffy had some degree of mystical protection over her then, at least while she slept. To that end, her protection meant even daggers split apart so as not to pierce her skin.

Mystical link with Willow: After years in their friendship and alliance, Buffy was able to initiate a telepathic conversation with Willow. Their connection was strong to the point that even when unconscious, Willow could channel an amount of her power at will through Buffy, allowing her to conjure up a shield and a fist-enhancing gauntlet made out of green magical energy.

HEADCANONS,

!!: Canon Divergent #01 - Dawn is not acknowledged as her sister. When she arrived in season five it was solely as something to be protected by the Scooby Gang in the guise of a human. !!: Canon Divergent #02 - When Sunnydale got swallowed by the crater, those remaining got on the bus and headed to Los Angeles to help out Angel Investigations in their final battle against the legion of hell.

still has the cross necklace that angel gave her, however she no longer wears it ( keeps it in a little sealed baggy for safe keeping ). before leaving sunnydale, she got herself another one along with a ring that bears a cross too ( as an added measure when fighting vampires ). - after “bad eggs”; buffy no longer will eat eggs – scrambled, fried, as an omelet, etc etc, — she also has an aversion to scorpions as well. ( just eggs by their lonesome where she has to visibly see them, otherwise? she’s fine. ) the eggs make her physically sick and she will stomp the hell out of any scorpion, should she encounter it. ( alas that leaves her out of ever having pho. ) - after the incident with having to work at the Doublemeat Palace, buffy also no longer will eat hamburgers, cheeseburgers or even plant based impossible burgers. all of it ( just like eggs ! ) makes her physically sick. ( she can eat sausage patties and vegetables on their own. ) - buffy sold the house six months after joyce passed away in 2001, for a while she lived in the back room at the magic shop before getting an apartment with dawn and willow near UC Sunnydale. ( the potential slayers were trained in the back room of the magic shop, some would sleep there on the training mats as well until giles had the storage space above the magic shop refurbished into a living space for the remaining potential slayers to call home. ) - buffy still has nightmares about what happened with Adam & The Initiative ( along with her trauma from having to crawl out of her own grave ). - remember when angel gave buffy the claddagh ring? well, she gave it back after that visit to los angeles because they weren’t together anymore & she CLAIMED to not want any further past attachments. well, she was hiding a secret from him. buffy has a claddagh ring tattoo on her upper back, on the left side with a crack in the heart. - buffy still has trauma from having to crawl out of her coffin, she no longer sleeps under blankets or with the door closed as a result of it. as a matter of fact, for many years after coming back ? she’s attended group meetings at the nearest church for those who have ptsd from traumatic events in their life. - giles opened up a second magic box in downtown los angeles months after the final battle. willow some of the new slayers work there, as does buffy who is part time security. willow and dawn also teach magic classes to witches who show actual potential with mentoring from giles. - willow & giles are also in the long haul hunt to locate & train descendants of the Svear priestesses in order to reform the powerful cult and hope to make them allies. - as of 2018, buffy has been taking several life skills classes – whether it’s online through skill share or in person at the local high school. ( she did consider going back to college but since sunnydale was swallowed into a crater, she’d never be able to get her transcripts. )

- added February 8th 2023 - With Giles restarting the Watcher's Council, and there being a smaller ( but slowly growing in allies / local assistance ) on Oahu? slayers will begin to get a daily allowance/per diem when the funding is large enough. the council will also be paying for plane tickets, rental vehicles, hospital bills, room/board and clothing *again* once the funding is big enough. ( on oahu they're trying to renovate a home big enough to potentially house a few slayers who decide to visit or stay, probably put bunk beds in each room depending. )

— buffy wasn't ever really IN LOVE with riley, there was chemistry yes but the connection wasn't the same. the events with The Initiative also made her less and less inclined to want to be intimate / vulnerable with him so when they broke up? she was far from upset, more indifferent about it. — never won fiesta queen ( which is similar to may queen at Sunnydale high ) — spike was the last victim to the scythe while the Slayers were down in the depths, fighting off the hellmouth legion. ( to eradicate any remaining evil – chemical bombs had been set off as they were driving out of town to get to safety. so, her sunnydale is an irradiated zone and sealed off by the government. the crater still happened. ) — after angel left sunnydale & buffy saw him / came to los angeles that one time ? ( where he became human because of that demon & time got reversed so he could stop it. ) their connection hasn't been the same since, even less so after he helped faith out ( and they fought about it ). she no longer has any romantic feelings / a deep seeded connection to him, however she doesn't hate him either. she's grown a lot in their time apart, learned to love herself and realized that wishing she could've changed the past was holding her back. – she is a Kemetism practitioner, specifically Kemetic Orthodoxy. ( link one, link two. )

added November 2nd 2022: buffy loves foreign films. this stems from that one time where her, will and xander were watching that old hindi/Bollywood movie ( episode reference - reptile boy ). much to the annoyance of dawn, buffy will also change the language ( dubbing it ) of any movie they own on DVD ( made in english first ) if she can. or she mutes the movie and changes the subtitles to another language.

added November 3rd 2022: since about her brief stint in college, buffy takes vitamins. women's dailies, d3, tumeric and ginger, b12, vitamin a, calcium, and iron. despite the fact that a slayer's genetics are different than others ( her healing fast after angel fed from her in graduation part i ), she's not as young as she used to be and it's still important to maintain her best physical condition.

( added December 16th 2022 ): After Joyce passed away, Buffy definitely withdrew / became a little more hesitant when hugging ANYONE. Even her friends. It wasn't something any of them did, and they know that ... it was just - there's a hole that was left after losing her mom and she was someone that Buffy could always run to for comfort. And then one day, she couldn’t anymore. So, it's been a challenge for her.

( added December 19th 2022 ): buffy enjoys spicy asian food. specifically korean, thai, and vietnamese food. if something is not spicy enough for her, she adds two teaspoons of thai chili oil.

— Buffy has a collection of bath bombs, bath salts, various essential oils, & face masks she keeps on a shelf in a basket in her bathroom. — There's also a diffuser in her bedroom along with diffuser sticks. Seated on the bureau / chest of dresser drawers in the corner. — her foot massager tub is kept under the sink, or sometimes on a little stool in the bathroom. she will use mainly Epsom salt or sometimes bath salts, depends on her mood. – Speaking of mood ! Buffy has another shelf in the bathroom that houses candles or an incense burner, which she uses also depends on her mood. – Several playlists are used for when she's needing to calm down after having a hard day / night. — Journaling always happens for about an hour or two post feel better bath, usually with a cup of chai tea that Willow will make for her. — Buffy also meditates / still does Tai Chi in the very early mornings ( in her bedroom or in the living room with incense burning — in the living room if Dawn & Willow aren't home but neither girl minds truthfully ).

added, september 4th: Buffy will often go walking after a really bad fight ( vs. the supernatural ) or if she can't sleep while it's raining out. She tends to get looked at a little funny because she'll wear rain boots to keep her feet dry, but still get soaked in the process. There's been a few times where she's had cuts and bruises forming or fully visible and people stop her to ask if she's okay. Her response? "I'm breathing, this will all heal soon." And keeps walking.

added, september 5th: the reformed Watchers Council has two headquarters now. One in Los Angeles which is the chapter that Giles is in charge of and in one Hawaii, specifically on the island of Oahu. Every three to four months, Giles leaves LA for a couple of weeks to discuss in person with the head of the council ( currently unnamed ) there what paranormal occurrences are happening. Giles has mentioned a few times before that they're also looking to add two more new council chapters. One in Europe and one in Russia. Buffy's eyeglasses - They're not like regular eyeglasses, although in appearance they certainly seem to be. They're actually Schufftein glasses ( hellboy reference! ), making it easier for her to see the true form of things that are otherwise hidden to the naked eye / mere mortals. faeries, wesen ( when woged ), hellhounds, Shadowhunters ( when using the glamor rune ). ( added fact: Buffy does not wear the glasses 24/7, nor are they always with her when she's out and about. Due to being a rare and highly valued item, they're protected by magic and will only appear to her should she need them. If stolen ? They will immediately return to her or to where they're hidden. )

added, April 5th 2033: buffy has a minimalist cuff forged out of cold iron. giles had it made for her and gave it to her when she came back from london. ( since 2013. ) ( disclaimer: cold iron is deadly towards fae folk. at least when used as a forged weapon. in this instance, buffy wearing it means she cannot be influenced by faerie magic. )

CURSED IMMORTALITY RELATED,

Name: Engelfrid ( “The angel of peace,” from the Anglo-Saxon engel (angel) and the Germanic fridu (peace). ) Designation: Buffy's assigned Envoy for The Powers That Be. Species: Seraphim Gender: Male Face claim: Neil Brown Jr. ( secondary face claim: Zeeko Zaki - 10/02/2023 ) Location: Nomad, goes wherever Buffy ends up. important headcanon: Engelfrid is Buffy's direct contact with TPTB. He's how she ends up with all the background information/resources needed ( references, new identity, clean background, etc ). link 001: × link 002: × link 003: ×

In the spring of 2001, Buffy Summers leapt to her death to once again save the world from dark devastation when the portal had been opened with Dawn's blood. Her friends mourned the loss, buried her and when things started to get utterly confusing with the "buffybot"? Willow decided it was time to bring her back from the dead – the problem was, the infinite POWERS THAT BE had chosen that first. Without Buffy needing to crawl out of her own grave. She just — well, her consciousness anyway — had to pick a new body. She also had to agree to ONE NEW TERM: that every twenty-seven years she would sequester herself in a small town so that anyone with prior knowledge of her existence outside the town would be too old or have forgotten her. It has to be the SAME town every single time too, an envoy from the PTB will show up a week ahead of time ( May 22nd being her death day ) to make sure she gets to the small town - Leavenworth, Washington. ( June 2023 update! ) originally the terms of the agreement with TPTB was to never to return to California, however six years ago ( 2017 ) they changed their minds. Buffy is no longer in her previous body so her old friends would never recognize her to begin with.

Because of her continued sacrifice to always save the world, the powers that be granted Buffy the curse of immortality. Stuck forever to watch anyone she starts to remotely care about to age and eventually pass away. Despite being immortal now, she is still THE SLAYER from the original line – potentials spread out across the world, either being found by a watcher or learning to fight on their own against the forces of darkness.

Buffy's whereabouts after rising from the dead ( so to speak ) are currently unknown. Just that she's alive and working for the local police department as a freelance consultant about "strange and unusual cases". That envoy provides her with fake references, work backgrounds, whatever else she might need while helping to purge the forces of evil from the world once more. Presently, she goes by the name of Olivia Rose and speaks with a faint Irish accent, telling people she was born in Cork.

( future plot plans, 12/27/2023 ) —- while either in town or out of town, Buffy's home in Leavenworth will implode on itself and create a mystic portal, leaving only a tailsman behind that she can find. Said portal will siphon energy from those who pass by, not a lot — just enough to make a person tired ( a whole group of people however wouldn’t feel anything ). Building up power over time and EVENTUALLY rooting itself deeply into the spot, so that monsters could start to come through from anywhere ( from any lore imaginable. )

Additional information: Absolute Immortality: Cannot age. Immune to all diseases, toxins and drugs and anything related to life and death. All wounds and injuries heal instantly. Immortality applies to not only the body but mind and soul as well, rendering the user truly "absolute". Power is absolute, so it can never be removed, nor can the user's existence from timelines. Only Omnipotent Beings can truly kill or even Affect users of this Type of immortality. face claim: Emily Rose

context i have been urgently needing to raise funds for tech ever since my ipad was maliciously damaged while i was fighting for my survival on the streets; it completely stopped working last year, and i lost essential functionality for communication and basic needs as a disabled person, for my artwork, my ability to do my work and earn income, and i lost all of my work and essential paperwork

i have had to prioritize housing and groceries and other essential needs, so my tech needs have been going unknown and unresolved

i can't continue on anymore with this tiny little ipod touch ( the only device i have ) because: it's old and is now now refusing to charge most days it overheats very rapidly and turns off for long periods it has been discontinued so none of the apps are working anymore because companies are all designing them for a later version of ios i cannot continue to try to do all of my work and rely on the limited functionality of a tiny (broken) ipod touch where most of the apps aren't even working anymore the ipod touch doesn't have the functions i need a) for accessibility and b) functionality for my work/so i can earn income

i rely 100% on tech as a disabled person to do everything essential in my life; a lack of the tech i need is a serious safety issue, would isolate me from absolutely all communication with anyone ~ my life is necessarily entirely online, being able to get my needs met, and a significant hindrance to my ability to function each day

i need specific tech to be able to offer my services and earn income

i need access to this tech before i begin a 9-month intensive neurographica® course on may 9 [i also need to raise funds to cover the course fee, which is $6,000/€5,500]

[please no suggestions about secondhand or other options ~ i cannot use other brands/models or secondhand or refurbished products for health reasons and i need to purchase these products myself directly from the manufacturer: thank you]
