#since in a great deal of cases it’s more habits that have formed that can be broken

[explode-this]

Imagine if we approached all “problem” substances like this. Giving people the facts as to why they might feel a particular kinship or reliance on any given recreational drug, educating them on why it feels good, and then laying out the facts of any health repercussions. This is a much kinder and trusting way of approaching any kind of ‘addiction’ than turning someone over to a system that seems to lead to basically one approach, namely 12 Step, which for all of its public face—“it’s spirituality, not religion!” and “it’s just peer support!”—hides within its folds yet another system of dependence and uses guilt as a whipping stick, not to mention the permanent adoption of a label that no longer fits but encourages one to think of themselves as forever tethered to the mistakes they’ve made.

I used to smoke, and I know why I smoked. It was the only way to get breaks at my various shitty jobs and later I came to find that there was a psychological benefit in the stimulation because of my undiagnosed ADHD. It felt good. There were lots of things I didn’t like about it—the way it made my hair and clothes and breath smell, the cough I developed, the way I felt shitty until I had another cigarette—but it made socializing much easier, because where two or more are gathered with cigarettes there is a way for an awkward autistic woman to actually make conversation, or at least be useful by offering a spare smoke and the use of a lighter, therefore granting her some goodwill among co-workers and friendly strangers alike.

And even though I don’t smoke anymore I don’t judge those who do. There is a pleasure and comfort in smoking, and it is still relatively cheap to partake. But I’m also not scared of understanding the joys of smoking—that I’ll start up again and cause myself harm or be unable to stop again—because I trust myself and the personal decisions I’ve made for my own health. I can be around others smoking and not want to do it, not because I “self-inventory” out of guilt, but because I know myself and care about my own psychological well-being. This also goes for weed. I have no problems with anyone consuming it—a bit envious of those who can ingest edibles and feel something lol—but I don’t do it anymore for a number of reasons and I feel fine… because I trust myself not to need it. Nicotine, weed, booze—they don’t wield any particular power over me personally because I don’t believe they have power. In that way I don’t have to insist that I’m powerless over them, because we’re not fighting. Those are inanimate objects. I am a thinking human being who gets to decide for herself what she ingests and what she doesn’t. (In that same way, a lightbulb or a doorknob or whatever someone in 12 Step is encouraged to focus on as a “higher power” is also an inanimate object and can have no power over anyone. If they are encouraged to use the “group consciousness” as a higher power, then none of those people can have power over them, either.)

Anyway I enjoy Kurzgesagt a great deal—they break down stuff really simply and with bright colorful graphics, which is always my favorite way to learn lmao

TL;DR: wherever you have education and knowledge, you have personal freedom. Never forget that.

Headcannons about Apollo pt.1 

PSA: This is mythology Apollo stuff but most of this applies to Percy Jackson Apollo as well. 

Apollo loves no sibling more than Artemis, but he is closer to Athena. They bonded over being the favourite siblings, gods of knowledge/wisdom and the fact Athena was somewhat in charge of teaching/raising him when he first came to Olympus. 

Apollo is the only other god besides Zeus to have the epithet ‘Moiragetes’ meaning ‘Leader of the Fates’. There are also only two moments of fate being averted in the entire mythos – once when Zeus swallows Metis and then again when Apollo tricks/convinces the Fates to extend Admetus’s lifespan. I imagine this means they are both capable of altering fate, it is just usually not worth the trouble. 

Adding on to the previous hc, I also imagine Apollo has pure white eyes. As in, no pupils or irises. This is a trait I imagine the Fates share as well. Zeus would as well if he had gift of prophecy, but he doesn’t. 

Apollo has the epithet ‘Lycegenes’ meaning ‘born of wolf’ or ‘born of Lycia’. Both work since his mother spent some time in a form of a wolf while pregnant in some versions and she is also a prominent goddess in Lycia. Lycia is in modern day Turkey, so I imagine Leto, Apollo and Artemis have some Turkish features. Specifically, they all have an aquiline nose (though you also see that in Greece), darker skin and (in the PJ universe aka the modern day) all three occasionally wear head scarfs. Not hijabs obviously since those are religious, but sheer fabric with a bunch of different designs relating to their sacred symbols wrapped around their head and hair. 

Apollo was less of an older brother and more of a parent to Hermes, Dionysus and even Hebe when they were young. It was only once they were much older that Apollo started treating than more like siblings but will occasionally fall back into old habits. 

Hera and Apollo have a better relationship than expected. They, along with Athena, mostly bonded over their shared woes of dealing with Zeus (who is not as bad as PJ Zeus but is still, you know, a king. And kings are rarely great.) 

Apollo is the most all-knowing of the non-primordial gods. He has the domains of truth, prophecy and knowledge and, once he gains the sun in roman times, can also see anything that happens during the day. This makes him stupidly well informed. Even his cousin Hecate, Aunt Asteria, Grandmother Phoebe and Grandfather Koios are not as well informed since they only have the domain of prophecy and, even then, only have a specific kind while Apollo, seemingly, has access to every kind of prophecy. 

Apollo (and Artemis) are Gods of Youth and, in Apollo’s case, he even has an epithet explicitly denoting him as an eternal child: ‘Acersecomes’ meaning one with unshorn hair. Boys in ancient Greece grew out their hair and generally cut and dedicated their hair to Apollo after reaching adulthood. As a result, Apollo not only has long curly golden hair, but is also unable to age any older than 15 since 16 was the age of adulthood back then. I imagine this would be the same for Artemis as well. (If we are including the PJ universe here, then they would be able to age up to 17).

His reactiveness

Reactive and intense are not synonyms.

I guess you may wanna check this first for context, but you don't necessarily have to.

A lot of folks think of Carmy as non-reactive because he's too intense, and he is intense, sure, very, but in a reactive manner, the fire-starter is always someone else.

He's even soooo reactive as opposed to proactive, that sometimes he's even submissive. And he's OK with it, or too used to it, he feels somewhat comfortable taking that sub role, whether it is with Donna so she gets off his back, or with Michael, with EMP's EC, or with Claire, etc, he becomes a pushover or a bomb💣, no balance. But that's always as a reaction, it's not proactive, he reacts to stimuli in those 2 different ways as a default. He sometimes opposes it with all his might, in a very Carmy way, and becomes defensive, even aggressive:

or he succumbs to it, which on the outside can even look like he's cooperating with it, but he's not, he's reacting in a submissive way, to avoid the alternative, which he deems "more inconvenient" at the time (defense mechanism), so he rather takes the submissive role in those cases.

This, in his particular case, leads to bottled-up aggression and pain that come out in the most destructive and unhealthy ways, such as panic attacks, sleepwalking, workaholism, chain-smoking, anger fits in other situations that don't necessarily call for that, which he overreacts to, etc.

All of this is a result of his upbringing and the fact that his caretaker and father figure were addicts, ofc. I have already mentioned that a long time ago, but in his case, it always bears repeating because it is the cause of his C-PTSD, which is basically what frames all of the aforementioned behaviors and dysfunctional habits. (I lightly touched this subject in one of my fics too). Not that he doesn't have other co-diagnoses that are part of his overall psychological makeup and also have an impact on his life, granted, but C-PTSD is by far the most comprehensive.

If you have time to read his monologue, I strongly suggest you do, JAW's acting is UNBELIEVABLE but reading it and re-reading it gives it a whole new dimension. Storer is my spirit animal. He wrote an ode to PTSD and in Carmy's case, it's the C subtype because it was not triggered by just one event, but by repetitive trauma. Here it is:

My point is: Of course, he needs to address all of that, but even if he did, since the reactiveness is deeply rooted in him now, it's part of his very own personality, not just an acquired habit, he won't be able to change that, he will have to learn to cope and work with it, so it doesn't limit him anymore. We can all get treatment or change, but no one changes personalities. Ever.

He will have to learn to deal with it in healthier and more adaptative ways. There are multiple ways to do that and go about it, therapy is just one of them, but not the only one. The great news is that it can definitely be done if there's a will, but it's important to point out that it will not disappear, as that reactiveness is in his nature at this point. Because it started in his formative years, very early childhood, etc. It will be expressed differently, he will have more control over it, and it may shift its form to a point where he could even use it as one of his strengths, but it will never magically or clinically go away. Full stop. It's important to have realistic expectations to avoid unnecessary frustration and to be happier with a result that even exceeds our expectations if it eventually comes to it. Like I wish it did for Carmy, by the end of the series.

Now, let's call it what it is: He will never be the "proactive Carmy", functional hero, fully together male-lead that some envision he becomes for Syd and because of her.

That's not in his nature.

Realistically speaking, not to mention Storer-friendly speaking, he can improve, sure! And he will and I'm positive about that, as I mentioned here and here, she will have a crucial role in that evolution because Sydney is the plot twist, he is the plot. But Carmy will not become someone else.

He is and will always be Carmen Anthony Berzatto, The Bear, with all the light and shadow aspects that entails.

And quite frankly, I love that, chefs because we are all a work in progress, just like him.

🦋 can I have some Godheim Clarence?

If so, here’s a 5-flower bouquet 😂

Honeysuckle, Peony, Morning glory, Fennel, and Heliotropes. 💐

Plant Ask Prompt List

Clarence (Godheim)

🌻fennel: what are their kisses like? where do they like to be kissed the most?

Clarence's kisses are featherlight. It hurts to think about the way he keeps a certain level of distance from you so no other body part is touching you aside from his lips. It doesn't feel like he is into the moment at all, almost as if he is unwilling to get into this level of intimacy unless you asked for it. All his actions are not meant to be taken as a sign that he hates you, or that he wants you as far away from him as possible. It just happened that his years have turned him so jaded that he has difficulty basking in the mundane moments with you. If he truly didn't want your company he would've pushed you away long ago.

He doesn't have a preference. It brings random moments where you're planting kisses all over him despite his insistence, although he doesn't make an effort to stop you, either. He gets lost into his thoughts more often than he should, even when he knows he should be focusing on you while you're still around. You're fully aware about this habit of his, so he probably will never tell you how on some days, knowing that it's your lips on other side of the kiss is more than enough to quiet down his neverending thoughts.

🌻heliotrope: who would be the first to propose?

The decision of marriage is in your hands. Clarence doesn't put a lot of weight on the status of your relationship since to him, what only really matters is if the both of you will be able to stick with each other through thick and thin. He never brings up the possibility of marriage but it's not out of lack of interest but out of consideration for you. Considering his background, he cannot deny that there's some good and then a lot of bad that comes with being involved with him. If you're that willing to put up with him for as long as it takes, despite all the red flashing signs telling you that you're better off without him, he cannot find it in himself to deny you.

🌻honeysuckle: if their s/o was hurt, what would they do?

Even if Clarence tries to remain rational, his first thought is always to deal with whoever caused it. It doesn't matter how insignificant the situation is, or how you're barely affected by your injury at all. He has the power and authority so why wouldn't he get involved? It's not that he has grown apathetic towards his surroundings that he would be willing to cause hurt without batting an eyelash, he still cares a great deal for the well-being of the entirety of Godheim. It has just been a while since he has experienced what it's like to be genuinely protective over someone until you came along. He admits it's a bad habit that's not easy to shake off since it comes along so rarely and so strongly, so until he gets used to it again, he is counting on you to calm him down and stop him from doing anything reckless.

🌻morning glory: what is their favorite form of physical affection?

Leaning on you is the easiest way for Clarence to express his affection. He wants to believe that he's no longer suited for the simpler things, that finding comfort in your presence is a tad childish for someone like him since he should be able to find it elsewhere, but somehow that doesn't seem to be the case. The more common displays of affection like holding hands or hugging are off the table for now since they're a bit daunting for someone who's grown used to keeping people at an arm's length, although he's not going to push you away if you initate.

🌻peony: how do they get their s/o to blush? how does their s/o make them blush?

Clarence doesn't exactly go out his way to make you blush, although the small bouts of sincerity from him are rare enough that your heart feels warm every time it happens. He notices how you hang onto his words when he compliments you, but even if he likes that look on you, you can't expect him to give you the time of the day and comply if you ask him to repeat what he just said. He would feel a bit guilty afterwards though, so he makes sure to tell you again later that night, but only if you're asleep so you don't pester him to say it again.

Getting physically close to him out of nowhere for ordinary reasons catches him off-guard. Being emotionally distant has gotten him to the point where entering other people's personal bubbles for anything else other than his duties as an Archmage makes the situation suddenly feel more personal than it's supposed to be, even if said situation is as simple as getting a petal out of your hair or handing you back your belongings. There's something about the way you step closer for no reason other than to smoothen his lapels that ignites a fire in him.

[nephrastar]

I'd like to hear how queer friendly Eberron is.

You got it.

The biggest part of this would be two of the races in Eberron -- Changelings and Kalashtar.

Changelings are the end result of a millennia of doppelganger/human relations, and therefore are capable of being whatever gender they damn well please. And, at least in 3.5e, they're canonically altersex in that they can have both sets of genitals at once.

They're the closest thing to genderfluid you can get, and for them in particular, switching genders is about as much of a habit as us flipping a light switch. While this isn't necessarily confirmed by the lore, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of Changelings were utterly confused by the social construct of gender because of this. It was definitely the case of Ash when they were younger. Nox knew from a young age only because his father is human, but they still think gender as a social thing is bullshit anyway.

Some changeling cultures also embrace polyamory in the sense that they've got multiple partners, but they only show specific personas for those partners, or in Ash and Nox's case, they'll fool around with other people on their own time in differing personas, but only get intimate in their true changeling forms with each other and nobody else.

Then you've got the Kalashtar, who are basically a combination of humans who have willfully fused themselves with Quori Souls. The Quori are basically aberrations from the plane of Dal Quor that tried to take over the world of Eberron 40,000 years ago but dragons intervened and shunted their plane of existence away so that it can never be in the same space-time as the material plane. 1,800 years ago, a handful of rebellious Quori escaped Dal Quor, by means of human monks from Sarlona who were willing to merge with them, giving birth to the Kalashtar.

In particular, if you read both Races of Eberron and Secrets of Sarlona, you'll notice that the Quori Taratai (who's female) is referred to as both female and male, because she bonded with the human monk Hazgaal (Who's male.) If you read Keith Baker's blog (which, considering that he made the setting, is considered canon as far as I am concerned,) he addresses this, saying that there is a lot of similar disconnects between human/quori mergings, and therefore there is a great deal of gender fluidity within kalashtar culture, but more on a spiritual/social level than a physical level like Changelings are (in my interpretation at least.)

Kalashtar in 3.5e are kinda weird for a couple of reasons, for one, they use psionics rules, which psionics in that edition was... well it was a mess. And for two, the lore made it sound like the Quori just took over human bodies and it was left open to interpretation on whether or not that was consensual. Both in 5e and in Keith's writings since though, he's made it clear that it's a consensual merging. So less spiritual possession fuckery and more... weird magic/psionic marriage. lol.

CECIL RAMBLE!!

This is Cecil Meyers! He's Kit's sworn brother, one half of the Nonesuch Detective Agency, and one of the protagonists of Eidolon Vetch.

Here's some (actually Much, because I am incapable of Not Yapping) Cecil Lore (in bullet point form)(also under a cut because it is Sizeable I am so sorry):

In comparison to Kit and Orpheus he seems normal. Kit and Orph consider him to be normal. He is not normal. Kit and Orph are just much more extreme in their weirdness

Cecil's very curious and very nosy and loves eavesdropping, people-watching, and gossiping

He's got a great memory for other people's business, and collects secrets. The Nonesuch Detective Agency has a system where, if a client is unable to pay, they can either owe Orpheus a favour or give Cecil a secret (though Cecil does prefer being paid).

Cecil's habit of poking his nose into other peoples' business means that he's stumbled across a fair number of crime scenes and become witness to quite a few crimes (he likes looking into the windows of buildings)

He actually met Orpheus because he saw Orph sat on a fire escape in the rain and approachd him to find out what was Up with him.

He's the darling of a certain group of washerwomen/embroideresses who live in the city's Old Quarter. Instead of doing his job (ie. selling newspapers or shining shoes or any of the many jobs he took up while living on the streets with Kit) he used to come watch them work and listen to them talk. They continue to have regular gossip sessions to this day, and Cecil's considered family.

Most of his clothes are hand-me-downs or gifts from their families.

Because of this, pretty much everything he wears doesn't quite fit him right

Kit and Cecil grew up together. As children they lived in the same tenement (Cecil's parents and Kit's mother were close and shared in the responsibilities), and after the deaths of their parents they stuck together. They may not be siblings by blood but they are siblings!! Do not separate!!

Kit was always a better newsboy and a better pickpocket than Cecil (Cecil's poor vision made it hard for him to read the headlines, he's more awkward than her, and he'd often get distracted while eavesdropping). Kit often had to steal to make enough for the both of them. Cecil was the distraction.

When Cecil met Orpheus, he was basically working as an errand boy and a mudlark.

He's always preferred scrambling up buildings and across rooftops to walking down the street. If he has an idea he wants to tell Orph about he will just climb onto the roof make his way over to Orph's building and climb in through his window (this has jumpscared Orph multiple times)

Kit's afraid of fire, and Cecil's afraid of the cold, so whenever they were staying somewhere with a lit fire Cecil would mind the fire while Kit slept

Cecil's got insomnia. He spends a lot of his nights wandering the city or going over cases. Orph sometimes helps him sleep (god of dreams things)

Cecil knows nearly all of Kit's secrets, and is also well aware that she's Hermes Vetch.

He just pretends he Does Not See It. Nor does he help Orph during heists. It's a conflict of interest he does Not want to deal with

He's always wanted to be an artist (Kit's mother used to give him art lessons before her death) and he used to doodle on scraps of newspaper. Orph usually asks him to draw details of corpses now, which he's more than a little chagrined by, but he also has the funds to buy an actual sketchbook and watercolours (so he's happy enough).

He's drawn Orph. A Lot. (it gives him opportunity to stare)

His hands are covered in graphite and charcoal a good portion of the time. So are the pockets of his trousers. Because he keeps his pencils/charcoal in the pockets of his trousers

Speaking of Orph! Cecil's been pining after him pretty much since they met. Kit's had to deal with him for nearly six years by the start of Kit's part of the story and she is Sick of his Shit

He's literally all the 'kinda gay to be a detective' memes its so silly

Regardless of his romantic feelings, he's still perfectly happy with them being unrequited as long as he can still be close to Orph. Their friendship matters above all.

That being said, his feelings aren't necessarily unrequited.

He's also friends with Ophelia (somewhat)(she doesn't really Do interpersonal relationships for haunted-by-a-friendship-that-ended-abruptly-a-decade-ago reasons, but it counts)(sometimes they sit in the same room in silence)(it's pleasant).

he's my beloved and I love him

i've probably forgotten things but yeah! that's my boy my bestfriend my silly guy

The Reproductive Systems and Habits of Angels and Demons

Some world building information, primarily for my Culture Shock! Obey Me AU that I'm working on. Feel free to do what you will with any of my ideas. If you make any works based off something I post, or inspired by it, I'd love to see it!

Not exactly safe for work.

Warning for noncon, specifically in the angel's section. Less serious warning that it's probably glaringly obvious I used to be in the Homestuck fandom lol

Both angels and demons are true hermaphrodites. Gender expression is based purely on preference, and heavily influenced by humanity, though in both native tongues, pronouns more denounce species than gender. Angels have one for each rank of angel and one for non-angels, while demons have one each for demons, angels, and humans, and then another for other beings, though there are also more specific ones for them that just may not be known by your average speaker and require explanation.

The reproductive systems of demons and angels are remarkably similar in form. Unaroused, the pubic area looks somewhat like a vagina, though some of the shapes are odd, the labia minora are missing, and the colours are often less-than expected if you thought your partner was human somehow, though more natural to human colors are also perfectly within possibility. The clitoris is also odd, particularly in the fact that it isn’t one. The penis remains internal when not in use, though the tip is always visible. Both arousal and the need to urinate will cause the penis to start to exit the vent, though to different degrees. The urethra is located on the tip of the penis, and both sperm and urine exit through it. The penis is tapered, and is often multicolored, though those are the only traits common enough to bother listing here, as there’s a great deal of variation in shape between individuals, with demons often showing more extreme variants than angels.

The vaginal opening is located in roughly the same location as it is on humans, and the testicles are internal in both angels and demons. The internal walls of the vagina can have some interesting textures, though this is by far more noticeable in lust demons. Ovulation in both species is rare, and triggered by different things depending. Placenta begins to form only after a fertilized egg is implanted, so periods aren’t a thing that ever happen to either, though birth is often even less pleasant to deal with than it is with humans, since the hip shape is the same, yet the babies can be much bigger and have god-knows-what sort of appendages sticking off of them. Since forms further from humans are most often larger, it’s common practice for an expecting demon or angel to shift up when labor starts to ease the process. This can, for some, also change the shape of the hips, which can either make things easier, or just impossible, so it’s always on a case by case basis if this is advisable or not.

Arousal will always instigate the penis to exit the body, though there are some notable differences based on whether the being wishes to submit or dominate. If experiencing submissive arousal, the penis remains fairly soft and is mobile, though control over the movements of it is generally extremely limited (Asmodeus could probably hold a pen and write though.) More blood goes to the labia majora, causing a swelling, as well as some internal structures that enhance the pleasure of being penetrated.

If experiencing dominant arousal, the penis loses its mobility, becomes hard and rigid in preparation to penetrate. Blood actually redirects from the vagina, the labia closing up a bit. It's wildly unpleasant to be penetrated in this state, though some masochists enjoy it.

Both states feel notably different, both physically and emotionally. Switching between states without a pause in between is something that some demons enjoy immensely. Mammon in particular loves starting out dominant and having his partner get him to switch before he gets to do anything.

While nearly unheard of for angels, who almost always produce a single, live infant, there are rare subsets of demons that produce either litters or eggs, and even rarer, some who can end up with two or all three options in different circumstances, though not at the same time. 

Angels

Angels are capable of arousal and copulation at any time, and can reproduce with angels, humans, and demons. However, this is forbidden outside of a singular circumstance. Overcoming lust is expected, and giving into it is WILDLY taboo and will be met with visceral disgust if not outright ostrisization from most every other angel. Denying yourself lustful pleasures is considered a show of your devotion, not only to god, but to other angels, and a thing that you should do for the good of everyone.

The singular instance in which angels are allowed to sexually reproduce are in the case of a ‘Blessed Coupling.’ This has always been between two angels, and tends to come out of fucking nowhere, but it’s very literally god wanting two angels to bone down and make a baby for whatever reason. It happens very rarely, and without the will of the angel being taken into account. Very suddenly, two angels will enter each other's proximity, shift up a form or two, and become unbearably aroused. Reports from couples who had this happen don’t exactly paint a pleasant picture, as they very suddenly feel like thoughtless animals and cannot resist going at it. They often both leave the situation feeling violated. Blessed Couples are both venerated and used as a cautionary tale against giving into lust. It’s a common belief that should you give into lust, you can become like that permanently, though that’s entirely untrue and born mostly out of fear. It’s worth noting that this happens to angels who have never even met sometimes, so the interest between the pair is irrelevant.

While most of the punishment for things like masturbation would be social, carried out by other angels if found out, IF an angel impregnates someone or gets impregnated outside of a Blessed Coupling, they fall and their offspring is killed. If an angel wants to have a child, they frankly should fall first.

For the most part, angels are created directly by god, and while Blessed Couplings are considered a very good thing, as it's a direct result of gods will, no one really knows why it happens. The offspring are always special in some way, so it's assumed that god wants that specific angel to exist, but that's just kind of the most accepted guess.

Demons

Demons are more likely to suffer from NOT having sex, or at least masturbating, than they ever will be from abstaining. While most often seen in the form of gluttony and wrath rampages, all of the sins can produce a sort of ‘shut down’ state if the temptation to give into them is ignored for long enough, or the desire is strong enough. Lust will end up with a sort of heat or rut, depending on the nature of the desire being ignored. That said, if there is no desire, there’s no danger of the shut down state. So, if a demon is asexual, they're just plain not in danger of that. 

Dominance and submission are both culturally and biologically a thing with demons. Culturally, being dominant is seen as the ideal, while being submissive is shameful, since it’s a culture in which being strong is heavily emphasized. Biologically, every demon wants both sometimes, though some demons have definite preferences for one or the other.

Being openly brazen with enjoying to submit is viewed as extraordinarily slutty. More conservative demons look down on it, but it’s pretty universally considered very hot. Asmo’s fixation on keeping himself small and cute and flirty is largely because, even if he’s modestly dressed and using none of his powers, demons around him tend to react with arousal, which he likes a lot. He's cultivated the image of the perfect submissive.

Pacts with human sorcerers have a lot of strangeness about them. A pact taken by force is most likely to just produce resentment in the demon half of it, but a pact willingly given is kind of the ultimate act of submission, literally subjecting your free will to another. Often, such things are only offered to exceedingly powerful sorcerers, because the demon gains a lot of power out of it as well in that case and it’s worth the occasional loss of free will to them. However, if attraction develops on the demons end, they find that their body only really wants to act submissively in sexual situations with that person. Given how little any of this ever took place in the Devildom prior to the exchange program and MC earning their pacts, this wasn’t a documented thing, because no demon in their right mind would eagerly admit that they let their pactmate plow them (save for Asmodeus, but that’s not weird for him, and no one would really question it being at all related to the pact.) Whether there’s a magical influence on their preference, or it’s simply a latent desire all demons have not allowing itself to be ignored after literally turning over your free will to someone, who knows.

Heats are more common with demons, due to the sort of shame associated with submitting. It’s less to do with breeding, and much more to do with sating a desire that’s been repressed. They can often be kept at bay with the use of toys and indulgent fantasies, but it’s still more common that a demon will be too proud to ‘sink to that level.’ It’s genuinely a bit weird for a demon to, on their own, go into rut. There’s no taboo against going at someone, or even taking turns, and even if that’s not an option, masturbation will usually keep it from happening. If a demon’s doing a LOT of pining, it can happen, but such obsessive focus on one person to trigger something like that is very rare, and usually will clue people into something being wrong well before this is an issue. Most commonly, a rut is triggered while actively having sex. There is a certain limit to how long you can edge a demon without them flipping the fuck out and literally losing their mind for a while. This is DEFINITELY a fetish for some demons, both having it happen to them and being the one to trigger it in others. Levi’s into the idea of having it done to him. Lucifer loves doing it to others.

While lesser demons that die easier reproduce pretty frequently, the only higher demons that commonly reproduce is the royal family, due to how often kings are rebelled against and deliberately killed. For the most part, a high demon has to actively choose to have a child, and most will just probably not. They live for many millions of years, if not killed, and killing them is an ORDEAL, so the idea of passing down what they have isn’t honestly an issue most think about often, if ever. 

A high demon that has chosen to be impregnated will behave very differently from normal, though if they’re acting as the father, nothing actually changes at all. Brooding behaviors can vary pretty heavily from demon to demon, but they all start craving meat (among other things) in large quantities and do some sort of nesting behavior, though it’s heavily influenced by what the individual believes to be important. Beel would probably try to hoard food, but with an exacerbated appetite, might become distressed with how difficult that is. Leviathan would likely end up in some sort of blanket fort made of manga and whatever he thought was comfy, but he’d also probably like it to be underwater. A pregnant high demon expects their partner to be at their beck and call and take care of them. They do not expect to have to leave their nest more than absolutely necessary. Gestation periods vary, but both of the pair are expected to basically be unreachable until the birth.

Most of the time, high demons having children is kind of the ultimate declaration of devotion to each other, both because of the expected behavior while the baby is forming, as well as what the baby themselves represent. It’s borderline sacred. Baby trapping does happen, but it’s socially considered so revolting that oftentimes if it’s found out the friends of the victim will straight up kill the demon that did it to them, and sometimes the child depending. It involves a LOT more manipulation than it would for humans who can conceive accidentally.

Noble families who produce heirs will sometimes choose to do so with the sole purpose of showing off their wealth. This is most common with greed demon couples. They made a grand show of the time, often hiring extensive staff and going wildly hedonistic while the baby or babies are gestating. It's also common when a family is expanding to increase their own power and not because they're showing that devotion. Often, the lavish gestation and entry into the noble family is the compensation for the demon that becomes pregnant.

Also worth noting: most cambion (human/demon hybrids) happen entirely by accident. While a high demon has to choose to initiate the ability to be pregnant, they can technically always get someone else pregnant. Should a demon go have some fun with humans and raw dog one, it may just genuinely not occur to them that, if that human has the right equipment, they might get pregnant about it. It’s not uncommon knowledge that humans just kinda get pregnant all willy-nilly, but for the most part, you’d have to look it up. It would be less of an issue were a human to couple with a lesser demon with a more relatable reproductive cycle, but their smaller, less-human forms and rare reasons to ever interact with humans make such couples non-existent. While there are humans that would see a knee-high bipedal pig made of shadow and think “I need to fuck that,” the chances of the two ever meeting are improbably slim.

While fetishes in the Devildom are plentiful and often strange, because of how such things work, high demons pretty universally consider breeding kinks cute and wholesome. Demons with that inclinations will sometimes stage role play sessions where making a nest together, or at least doing it in one that one of them made beforehand, is expected, as is lots of cuddling and pampering. This could lead to some interesting misunderstandings if a demon wasn’t particularly specific with the details of a request for such things when inviting MC. A demon asking someone to 'pretend to breed them' is hoping to be lavished with love and affection, so if you show up with nothing but a lot of dirty talk planned, there will be a great deal of confusion on both ends.

Documents of Godhood: A Look into the realm of Ada-Tada

The following documents are a series of research done in the third realm of the universe, known to many as Ada-Tada, as well as the beings who currently live there. We hope that the information provided in these documents may not only help understand the various creatures and deities of this realm, but also help newcomers find their role in society and better adapt to this new life. The following information of course is not meant to be shared without written permission from a superior and any other attempt to obtain said information will in fact be considered a form of treason against the gods of Ada-Tada.

         All the credits for the making of these documents will be at the end of each chapter, and please be aware that while we have tried to keep the information as truthful as possible, when dealing with gods one can not help but indulge in more philosophical wordings every now and then. We hope this may become of some use for you.

AvA: The start of everything.

         When faced with the question of how to begin telling the story of the universe, many beings have given their very own tales of Mother AvA, also known as “The Matriarch” or simply “The Blood Mother”. AvA is the myth that is heard the most across all of Third Realm, and its true origins are so far unknown as well as the existence of the goddess AvA herself.

         The myth states that at the beginning of the word a woman, a being of such perfect construction (Named AvA: “Equally”) was the first creature to ever exist in the universe, and with a crown of blood she gracefully walked the nothingness that surrounded her. Later on the same goddess would be trapped by newly born stars and tortured so her blood could give life to the world as we know it. 

         Since there is no evidence of the existence of AvA around the First, Second, or Third Realm, many have considered the myth as simply a fictional piece of history. However some deities have stated that they were able to make contact or even interact with AvA herself, one of the most famous cases being the one involving Vlad, The Master of Ugliness, which we will discuss further in the documents. It was also found that some information about AvA has leaked into the Second Realm EvA (Named by its habitants as “Earth") and there were even some depictions of The goddess herself, of course it to the best of their ability. The Higher Power took matters to erase any and all traces of whatever ancient religion had formed around the Blood Mother, as it would be considered against the laws of deities from Ada-Tada to ever interfere directly with humans. 

         The image is a representation of AvA, brought together by ancient humans before the great War in Between. Our party was able to take note of various interpretations of the All-Mother since the start of civilization, and found the recurring theme of various limbs and/or faces to relate back to the holy text of AvA’s symmetry taking in consideration the words “And she looked upon herself and realized that she was equal. From top to bottom, left to right her image was still the same. And she called herself AvA, for she was truly equal”. 

-These drawings were taken from very primitive tribes and they, alongside the tribesmen, suffered death by purification never to be remembered by their kind. While it is still a mystery to many in Ada-Tada if AvA does truly exist, the effects of her story did cause genuine harm to the Higher power and all natives of Third Realm, so most likely if contact was made with her the goddess would probably be sentenced to the same fate as her followers.

No Streams?

I'm sure those who are avid viewers of my twitch streams have noticed an obvious lack of streaming recently, here's why:

I've been quite busy this past June and July, resulting in myself not finding the time to stream as I've been needing to invest my energy into trying to sort out my life--Reorganize my living/workspaces, grind *tons* of work shifts to try digging myself out of my self-made financial pit and begin financial recovery, build up a credit score, research homeownership.....the list goes on.

I now officially have 2 jobs, with one only being active during the school year. I'm not sure how I'll juggle the two yet, as the one I'm working this summer is quite new and I'm still getting accustomed to everything that goes along with it.

I'm also not used to having a more stable income, the last time I had one where my pay is either very frequent and/or the paycheck is decently sized was back before the pandemic. Prior to picking up this second job, I only had my first one which pays me around 400USD bi-weekly, resulting in an underwhelming 800USD monthly budget or less.

The new job's scheduling is flexible, but its flexibility is a double edged sword, as it means shifts aren't guaranteed and are a "first come, first served" situation. The stability comes from the ability to opt to obtain your shift's pay early via Dailypay, which is great for someone like myself whose checkings and savings accounts have gone in the negatives before.

It's not perfect nor is it good to rely on Dailypay as a crutch, but least I can feed myself using it until I'm more financially stable and can wait on getting paid through regular paychecks. I do have EBT (food stamps) but I personally find them unreliable. CalFresh (state food stamps program) has screwed me over more than helped me.

I sadly don't have much in the bank, but it might finally begin to be getting better. I still sometimes financially relapse as my mental health had gotten awful since 2022 and resulted in developing bad financial habits.

I'm very lucky this new 2nd job is very easy, save for needing to drive everywhere and sacrificing sleep for staying up for long overnight shifts. It's also very isolating and lonely work, but it's very mellow and quiet, and I don't have to deal with much sensory stimuli--It's one of the few jobs I've worked that are excellent for my AuHD (Autism+ADHD). I can't work many jobs due to my AuHD and physical disabilities.

It does pay slightly better than the Californian minimum wage, but it's nothing special. It provides myself a start in financial recovery, but the path to recovery is turning out to be far harder than I thought. If I can reach 50USD in each account, and keep the two 50s intact for two weeks, I'll consider that to be a major victory.

__________________________________________________________

As for housing, I've been trying to research homes and homeownership lately. Technically, this has been a thing for a while, but I do have a deadline in mind of when I want to move away from family. I aim to live on my own by 2027, though ideally I think earlier is better for my own self-growth and mental health.

The process has been very scary and daunting, especially after taking my first steps towards homeownership in spring by forming connections with a real estate agent, and visiting vacant properties (strictly vacant undeveloped land) on my own. It's led to myself visiting all sorts of places I normally don't visit, do research on cities and towns I've never heard of until my research, and consuming a lot of media regarding real estate.

My original plan was to purchase vacant land to build a home on, but that may change. I also have to accept that I don't have much control over where I can choose to live thanks to my low income.

In my case, that likely means having to choose to live out in one of the desert cities or towns of California and research if it's more cost effective to own a motorcycle as I'll need to commute to work.

__________________________________________________________

Simply put, I'm out of my comfort zone.

My summer can be summarized as the following:

I'll try to return to streaming mid-July if I can work out a doable life-work schedule without causing myself to keep spending excessive money. I want to stream again, but please understand I'm an adult trying to improve myself and my life right now, so that currently takes priority.

HOW TO BE A GOOD ROOMMATE

Living with roommates can be a great opportunity to make lifelong friends, learn valuable social skills, and grow into a community-minded person. However, it can also be a challenging experience, especially if you're not used to sharing a space with others. To ensure a harmonious and enjoyable living experience, it's essential to learn how to be a good roommate.This article will take you through 10 main pieces of advice on how to be a good roommate, that will help foster strong relationships with other boarders as well as create a positive living environment around you.

1. Effective CommunicationEvery successful roommate relationship is built on effective communication skills. When moving in, ensure that among the first things you do is talk with each other about what we expect from this living arrangement such as boundaries or preferences etc. Be truthful concerning your habits and listen keenly to theirs too so as not only prevent future conflicts but also misunderstandings from arising out of nowhere.2. Respect for Each Other's SpaceSharing small rooms can get overwhelming because of the fact that people might find themselves living too close together than they would want to be in most cases; therefore please keep things organised by respecting one another’s space and avoiding unnecessary cluttering. Make sure everything remains clean at all times even if it means designating different areas where personal belongings should be kept then cleaned afterwards by respective owners themselves since cleanliness is the next godliness, right?3. Cleaning Schedule

Another thing which cannot be ignored when talking about creating a conducive atmosphere within which everyone feels comfortable enough during their stay there is cleaning! You need to make sure that everybody does their part towards maintaining cleanliness around the space. This could involve taking turns doing certain tasks like dusting, sweeping or vacuuming the floor. 4. Noise LevelsNoise is one of those things that could easily make a person go crazy especially if one has to study or work late at night and the other wants to sleep! Therefore everyone should always try as much as possible not to make too much noise after certain hours so that others can sleep in peace without any disturbances. But what if your roommate needs peace while studying and you need to listen to some lectures loudly to help memorize them? Well maybe use headphones/earplugs!5. Respect Each Other's BelongingsWhen you're living with a roommate, it's essential to be respectful of each other's belongings. Make sure to avoid borrowing or touching each other's belongings without permission, and avoid damaging or breaking each other's property. This will help build trust.6. Flexibility and ToleranceLiving with roommates requires a certain amount of flexibility and open-mindedness. Be ready to compromise and adjust to new situations, and attempt to understand things from your roommate’s point of view; this will help you deal with conflicts that may arise.7. Boundary SettingWhen living in shared accommodation setting boundaries is very important. Clearly define what you are okay with – for example vis-à-vis guests or noise levels – then let them know about it too.8. Taking Responsibility for Your ActionsIt is crucial that one takes responsibility for their actions while cohabitating with others so if there happens an error caused by oneself then apologize for it without blaming anyone else because this way trust between each other shall be built hence stronger relationships formed among them as friends who share an apartment together.9. Showing Appreciation and GratitudeExpressing gratitude towards someone who you share living space with can create a more positive environment around the house. Find ways in which they have been helpful such as saying thank you or doing small favors back for them.10. Patience and UnderstandingIt’s important to be patient when dealing with matters concerning those we live with under one roof, because sometimes we may clash over different beliefs, systems or attitudes so instead harboring grudges, take a moment, listen carefully to each other's views, and try to find a resolution that works for everyone.

To sum up, it is important to know how to be a good roommate if we want to live together in harmony and enjoy our time. At Sancta Maria International School Faridabad we provide boarding facilities for students and we encourage that these ten things are something all our borders should do. 

What you need to do is create an environment of positivity and supportiveness in the room which will allow you to make a friend for the rest of your life out of your roommate. Just keep in mind that being a good roommate means treating each other with respect, understanding one another’s feelings and needs as well as communicating openly – thus these are the things that should matter most in any relationship with your flatmate.

Roofing Contractors In The Upper Peninsula Getting Anxious For Spring

March 14, 2023

Hubbell, Michigan

Q Builders News

Q Builders, a Hubbell, MI based roofing contractor, commented on the impact the winter season has on the local roofing industry in the Upper Peninsula. With spring on the way, northern Michigan roofing contractors are getting increasingly anxious, the company says, and customers may benefit from understanding why.

The company explains that being a contractor in the north — where snow dominates up to half the year — means waiting for warm weather to work. In most cases, contractors are forced to wait for spring to arrive and the snow to melt so they can begin working again, so they are collectively hoping it will arrive in April. Unfortunately, projections indicate that the snow will be melted by May. This means roofing companies may need to charge higher fees to make up for lost time. Customers should be aware of this since certain contractors may try to take advantage of them as a result. It is recommended that they make sure their contractor is not in the habit of adding hidden fees or otherwise driving up the price after construction has already begun.

When spring does arrive, residents all around the area of Hubbell, and neighboring towns that are in need of any kind of roofing services can rely on Q Builders to get the job done, both honestly and reliably. As part of their efforts to promote transparency at every stage, the company offers free estimates on all their services (which include residential roofing, commercial roofing, repair, replacement and more). Customers are encouraged to ask as many questions as they wish during this period so they understand the full scope of the project in question.

Q Builders works on all kinds of roofs and materials, from asphalt to rubber roofing, and they provide a great deal of information on their website regarding some of the products they use. They explain. “An asphalt shingle roof could be the perfect solution for protecting your home’s structure in any weather condition. Shingle roofs are also popular for residential and commercial builds. Asphalt shingles roofing is a strong, durable roof system, suitable for most climates, and it is stylish and affordable too.”

They continue, “With so many options available to property owners, it can be difficult to determine what type of roof provides the best protection while being easy on the budget. Asphalt shingles are an economical and versatile choice for residential roofing that provides lasting protection to any home. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to maintain or replace your current asphalt shingles, or if you’re a builder considering installing this type of roof on a new construction project, there are likely questions that come up when making a decision regarding what kind of surface material is best.”

Another commonly used material is metal, in the form of metal shingles. Metal roofing are a bit more expensive than asphalt shingles and require more skill and labor to install. They make up for this by being more durable, however, and by increasing the resale value of a house. A metal roof can improve a home’s resale value by up to 6% compared to a home with an asphalt shingle roof. Another advantage associated with metal roofs is the fact that there is no need to tear off an existing roof in order to install a metal one as they can be placed over other shingles.

One of the reasons most hesitate to install a metal roof is the fact that they believe that metal roofs are noisy. Fortunately, metal roofs come with strong sheathing that can reduce the noise from rain, hail and debris more effectively than other roofing materials.

Q Builders is able to assist with roof installation of all kinds of roofs, including asphalt and metal. A number of customers who have worked with the company have left excellent reviews of the company online and off. P. Anne says in a review, “Our cafe’s rear entrance, wall and door was letting in cold air like a sieve. Greg stopped in and gave us a quick estimate. We accepted, and he and his partner did the work as we expected. We cannot believe the difference, and we're quite sure our utility bill will reflect the improvements. Not only was it good work for a fair price, but we had an invoice in our email box before they even left the building! And we've asked them to come back and fix other things at our gift store!”
