Do you have anything for a tiny Reader having a nightmare and Chase swallowing them down for a goodnight sleep?

This is a old ask, by now but I hope you are still up there anon and that you will like it! Also don't be afraid to nitpick any mistakes, erros! I am not a native english-speaker, but still I want to make sure, that whatever I have written is understandable for all of you!

=====

The tall shadows, bigger than the ancient oaks, jumped over your fears merrily. They shaped their facial expressions in a disgusting but natural way. They were built by black mash mixed with smog. No eyes, ears or other elements, still allowed you to watch their grimaces. You were trying to escape the traps they set to you. Phobias, mistakes biting the subconscious from the past, the present, memories worth forgetting. You've been stumbling over them, looking for a way out of that sick funfair. 

You were shouting pleas and lamenting in desperation, waiting for the end. 

But you didn't think that your prayers would reach beyond the limits you knew.

- Hey, little duder... Wake up...! Please... wake up...

A voice so strong, though gentle, vibrated around, immediately scaring these monsters.

Left to the pasture of fate, you hung in an emptiness devoid of darkness, light, bottom, beginning, anything. This space made no sense, despite gaining control over what was around you, you did not want to be here. You had to, you wanted to go back to him. 

You were thrown ashore which was the real world. You were taking in hurry a swigs of air, afraid to return to the surface of the water where nightmares were hiding. Your eyelids expanded too much, however your eyes had nothing before them, except fear.

- Shhhh, shhhh... it's okey...~ I am here... ~ Breath in... and breath out...~

The whisper resounded again, lightly shaking your tiny form. You couldn't resist the calm tone, repeating every said action. Verbal help was not enough for a savior though. You heard the rustling of the duvet, you felt the changes on your pillow. Soon afterwards, the heat spread from the legs, the torso, to the head. Hands intuitively caught the source of pleasant temperature. The fingertips caught the smooth, hard skin. A large, yet soft object pressed you delicately, with a sluggish speed, moving along your spine. Your soul filled with peace and your gaze gained a lost ability. 

The moon's glow slid from between the curtains, illuminating practically the entire room. Melancholic colours were replaced by a beautiful white and blue glow. Framed pictures of the two kids laughing, they almost shone as if the universe knew who they were important to. 

You could still see yellow-green down, pale skin, lush beard worthy of vikings, despite that the giant was turned back to light. Not to mention the grey-blue irises from which paternal love emitted. A subtle, albeit sincere smile welcomed on your face. Chase saved you, again. You squeezed the back of nose with legs and hands, clearly hugging it. The tip of your head leaned perfectly against the gap between his eyebrows. A colossal friend laughed soundlessly, for your lovely, moreover comical position.

You were lying close to each other in blissful silence, only interrupted by the work of your lungs, which, in spite of their different sizes, worked in harmony. You were relaxing, but in an inadequate way to that hour . Mentally you were well, but you missed something. It was a shelter. 

Sure of your idea, you disconnected yourself from a sniffer, crawling towards the lower part of face. The air coming out of his nostrils, slightly warmed your silhouette. Approaching the loosely opened mouth, the temperature coming out of those depths, stirred your thoughts. The nice, soothing heat existed for a small moment, disappeared and made you want it to last longer. You stretched out your hand and stroke cracked lips. You asked for permission to enter your personal safe hiding place. The gesture was also a payment for a calming massage. Brody murmured deeply, at butterfly touch of your hands. He needed a moment since his consciousness began to balance between reality and fantasy. He soon understood what you wanted to achieve. The tips lifted into a friendly grimace, not long enough to have a pink cave in front of you. The very sight of a known mouth caused pure happiness.

The thick tongue lazily slid out from behind the small hole, acting like stairs that led you to a safe oasis. You didn't need any encouragement, you quickly crawled through the crack, thus keeping an eye on fangs. The weight of your body was powerlessly pressing down on a living sponge, microscopic hollows were forming around your hands. The exhaled air covered you with a sultry blanket. 

The behaviour of maw, perfectly described the sleepiness of a blue-eyed man. Occasional jumps of the clapper, a motionless uvula, which the round tip pointed to a pulsating abyss.

The yawning has increasingly left your lips. Just lying down on this plump mattress was a relief. Predator sensed how your muscles were getting rid of their stiffness. The taste organ subtly shifted you to the edge of throat. You leaned slightly over the precipice, so even if it was semi-dark, you could still see small movements of epiglottis. You didn't allow yourself for observations on long run, when with a gentle click, you were locked in complete darkness. 

The purring coming from underneath, has shaken all the tissues in its path, including you. The giant was always happy when his little friend was protected by a guard of pearly blades. 

You were preparing for the process of being greased with saliva, but Chase had other plans, he made you surprised and giggle at the same time. Naturally, the tongue picked you up, but it didn't rub against hard palate. It also made sure you didn't fall into the molars. All you had to do was wait for the big guy to finish his job. 

Patience finally paid off. 

The yellow-haired man slowly rolled over on his back. Gravity was forced to change the laws under his actions, thus you started the journey to the pharynx by yourself. With one decent swallow, Chase took you into his esophagus. A fulfilled exhalation left an empty oral cavity. He moved shoulders sideways, adjusting himself on the bed. He gulped one last time to make sure his companion would get to the right location. He focused his attention on a small ball, lining the surface of gullet, which was your form, going deeper into the state of rest.  He put his hand on a stomach ready to feel you fall into it. Fatigue unfortunately turned out to be stronger than his will.

 The digestive tract transported you in no hurry. Lungs were quietly pumping air, heart was playing a lazy concert for the rest of the organs and the little visitor.  Conscientious oesophagus was rubbing you, removing some of the hidden stress. The rings of the muscles closed around you giving a gesture similar to a human hug. They also opened up, letting you go to the next sections of a very throbbing slide. The whole process was comparable to being closed in a warm cocoon. Your mind, under the influence of calm, kindness, has begun to return to the land of dreams, especially the colorful one. Mentally, you tried to refrain from listening and doing the temptation, although it was impossible to do so. Your eyelids gained weight, and you were tirelessly lifting them up. Your efforts were in vain, though, as you soon joined a giant roommate.

You didn't have to worry about anything. You were completely secure in the arms of another body. Not long before your snoring body was carried to a better bed. The organ built a nest out of its own pink walls that would always protect you from the nasty nightmares.

Hi :) you seem quiet experienced with yoga. I would love to get into it but my working hours don't allow me to take lessons. I am worried about learning from videos as I heared that you can hurt yourself really bad by doing something wrong. What is your oppinion?

With any yoga practice there is a chance of getting hurt and people don’t talk about it enough (so thanks for bringing it up)! I have seen SO many teachers teaching classes doing things that i don’t feel comfortable doing. My current (and forever favorite) yoga teacher is very into safety and teaching us how to do things in a safe way where we won’t hurt ourselves short term or long term. So yes it is for sure a chance if you are learning alone, but it is also a possibility if you are taking classes because a lot of teachers aren’t really taught that side of things (so nothing against them at all, i am sure they mean well and i am noway saying i know more than them)

Some main tips i can give you about safety (*note i am not a certified yoga teacher this is just from my experience):

Make sure you are warmed up!! But seriously this is so important and i can’t tell you how many times i walked into a new yoga class and we went straight into deep stretches. Either you can do something to warm you up before your practice/class like running or swimming or jumping jacks etc (i like to run before classes i know don’t have warm up time) or you can just pick certain poses to to first. Try doing sun salutations but make sure you bend your knees and don’t stretch too hard! or chair poses/squats are really good for that, or if you can do a forarm/hand stand against a wall! Just make sure you are warm so you don’t pull a muscle!

Headstand can be a little sketchy, especially when you are learning alone. It is easy to be putting too much of your weight on your neck which can hurt it. I do them in my practice because they are good to help me warm up and they are a good ab workout for me but i do them because i know how to safely position my head and most of my weight it on my arms with barely any on my head- so i would say stay away from those! try a forearm stand instead! Oh also fish pose is another one that isn’t good on the neck so i would say stay away from that and just use your judgement with poses!

Listen to your body! Try to notice the difference between good pain and bad pain. We all have different bodies that work differently, so if something feels wrong to you then don’t do it!

Yoga Beyond Belief by Ganga is an awesome book and it goes into this kind of stuff!

For the autumn asks.. hallowern and scarf :)

Sorry this took me so long!!

halloween: if you could dress up as anyone/ anything and pull it off absolutely flawlessly, who/what would it be?

Right now all I can think of is Sansa Stark. Her outfits the past couple of seasons have been awesome and I love Sansa so much

scarves: if you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be?

Probably boots, leggings, a baggy tshirt and a skirt. I pretty much live in skirts these days.

@sleepynoms answered your question “ask the gato?”

What does their handwriting look like? How many marshmallows can they stuff in there mouth? How do they stand while waiting for someone/something?

Handwriting

Terra- neat/formal but a little wobbly, it tends to worsen much to her chagrin the more she writes in one sitting. She both likes and hates cursive writing.

Kayla- cutesy but very very sloppy and somewhat difficult to read. Despite sloppiness she can keep between lines. Even she herself sometimes has difficulty reading her own writing.

Dema- easy to read but a little “off” (not sure how to describe “off” in handwriting, like, it’s apparent the letters aren’t being made like people usually draw up letters) due to being self taught

Riivar- variable. She likes cursive but is mostly simple yet bubbly in handwriting. Sometimes though she gets the urge for Cursive and will start her first letter in a paragraph/writing in cursive just to settle that need (and cause fancehness)

Harriet- a range between sloppy but legible to utter “chicken scratchings” illegible. The more excited or in a hurry she is with writing the worse it gets. Even when legible her writing tends to go off the lines a lot. She sometimes tries to make the writing fancy in cursive or give letter decorum but it tends to fail spectacularly. She can surprisingly read her chicken scratching type writing style just fine.

# of Marshmallows in one mouth (large marshmallows)

Terra- 2-3. Has fitted more in her mouth when younger but doesn’t want to make that mistake again.

Kayla- 3-5. Marshmallows are sweet af.

Dema- 1-2 and likely struggle to attempt a 3rd one. Will probably slap you for finding it cute/funny.

Riivar- 5. Doesn’t normally do it unless she’s being silly.

Harriet- is this a competition?! 7-8 MARSHMALLOWS OUT OF SHEER COMPETITIVE WILLPOWER.

How long will they stand while waiting for someone/something

Terra- if allowed to zone out and pace/rock she can last for potentially an hour at max, if not, she’ll sit down right away if it’s longer than 10 minutes with nothing to do. The longer it takes the more anxious/irritated she gets.

Kayla- if allowed to wander and look around while waiting then it’s pretty much as long as she’s awake, if not then probably less than 4 minutes, in which case she’s more likely to lay down rather then sit. Would likely get bored of waiting for such a long period of time.

Dema- perfectly still for as long as it takes. She’ll be mad af if made to wait super long though.

Riivar- pretty long, 15-30 minutes perhaps. Would probably get bored if she waited long enough.

Harriet- Probably the same as Kayla, though more likely to sit than lay down.

dropped-stitches replied to your post “So I spent a couple hours yesterday attempting to make a sock. It...”

I also like verypink's videos for socks. Also, tincanknits has a great sock tutorial online. The pattern for it is Rye, which calls for worsted weight to make a quicker sock. I modified it a bit to use fingering weight yarn for my first socks. Super easy. Mostly stockinette, with a little garter panel. Great for speckled yarn.

sleepynoms replied to your post “So I spent a couple hours yesterday attempting to make a sock. It...”

When I knit my first sock i used the video tutorials from verypink.com. there are lots of diffrent methodes but I only do cuff down. I didnt even buy the pattern they offer and just eyebald the stitchcount...worked fine for me.

hotdogsfortina replied to your post “So I spent a couple hours yesterday attempting to make a sock. It...”

maybe try an afterthought heel? that way you don't have to do any of the uncomfortable heel flap and gusset parts.

Thank you guys! I checked out lots of videos from verypink and they were very helpful. I’m going to attempt a toe up sock with an afterthought heel. Should only take a few months... 😂

Naknitcromo day 12: share your stash! These boxes are where my stash lives in :) I try to not buy more than fits in there, but they are overflowing anyway... Picture two is the obligatory box of shame. It's full of old acrylic yarn I have no idea where it is from and what to do with it since I learned about fibres. Any ideas how to use this are appreciated! (Pls help) Third box is one of two sock yarn boxes :D I loooove sock yarn. Most of the skeins have a purpose already, socks just take a long time to get finished so it takes a long time to use these up. Oh and this weekend I had the time to work on my second goal: get my stash on ravelry. I did it! Still putting up the rest of the pictures. Adding the finished projects is next! Have a look and feel free to add me as a friend :) user name: sleepynoms

December 21 2016 I sent out a couple Thank-You seed packages to some of the lovely people I swap seeds with. @sleepynoms you're the BEST for sending this return Thank-You package. I'm at a loss for words, you're just amazing, and so very talented for knitting this up for me. My phone doesn't pick up colour properly - but it's a BEAUTIFUL lime green. Green is my favourite colour also! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
