#spinner rings and anxiety

[flappyhappystim]

okay wait, so what *will* be excluded for usa customers?

Unless we hear back, most of our wiggle toy items, our various fidget balls (bouncy, squish, push pop, etc), our various stretchy strings, our liquid timers, our fidget spinners, our fidget tubes, our pop tubes, an abundance of our squishes (axolotl, bubble tea, etc), squish peas.

The truth is it's a lot of our items that would be considered "toys". All our jewelry, and most of our silicone chews will still be on the site available for purchase. Which is our focus with our adult audience, so I'm hoping that I'm just overthinking when I'm concerned about it.

The major thing I'm worried about is our Tangles. We have a huge amount of Tangle inventory that we invested in, and I haven't reached out to the company yet but I don't have high hopes for getting the information from them because the truth is a lot of companies don't want to give up their manufacturer information in worry that others will try and go around them. I have some hope for Tangle because I'm pretty sure they're trademarked, and I couldn't legally sell Tangle products without them.

Just like Jimin rubbing his own head and being shook instantly, we will have many instances where we will be reminded of them... see a photo or a video, hear their voices or a song and instantly be shook that we won't be seeing Jimin and Jungkook much in the next 18 months.

Not gonna lie, it is rough for me to watch Jimin’s live. The level of vulnerability is just too much for me to handle. His uncertainty, his dismay, his level of discomfort and self-consciousness... humiliation(?) over the loss of his beautiful hair, I can't watch it yet. His own disbelief at looking at his own shaved head...

He is facing something unknown and unfamiliar. He's learned a lot over the past year diving into the appearances he had to do alone for his ambassadorships for Dior and Tiffany. I say "alone" but he wasn't alone, he had his manager and staff by his side.

He won't have them when he enters the military base.

I already said in a previous post that Jimin is disappointed that he must, once again, stop doing what he loves and do this instead. He’s just hitting his stride and he has a lot he wants to accomplish. All that, in addition to his habit of self-criticism and his anxiety issues, it is HUGE that he will have someone there who knows this about him and can help him redirect and calm down. He will beat himself up, put himself down and not allow himself to give himself credit for doing as well as he thinks he should. Jungkook will remind him that he's amazing and help him overcome all that noise in his head.

And keep in mind that Jungkook is a level of introvert that requires some amount of "alone time". This "alone time" is when this type of introvert “recharges” or “decompresses” in order to settle or center one’s self. We all see how different he is during group lives versus when he is alone. His introvert thrives by himself. The situation of being with strangers for such long periods is CHALLENGING! Without his fidget spinner lip rings, and again, staff and manager beside him facing something new by himself, he'll be ADHDing all over the place. Knowing that Jungkook has someone he is comfortable with, who understands this about him, is HUGE. He has a habit of tuning out, zoning out and withdrawing and Jimin can help him stay put in the moment.

Besides genuinely missing performing and his fans, it is no wonder that his frame of mind during his last live with us was downhearted.

This is not a situation where one needs the other more... it is a situation where they will both mutually benefit from having the other present.

These guys are not like us. These two have lived the past ten years in a world that is NOTHING like ours. They've grown up and matured living a life that we can't possibly know and understand. Jungkook has several $1000 bottles of whiskey chilling in his refrigerator that he mixes with Cloop soda water and drinks like its kool-aid through a straw. THEY ARE NOT LIKE US.

They've succeeded beyond all expectations, even their own, and had to deal with all the extreme ups and downs of all of that... and now they must put everything they know aside to step into a completely different world with the eyes of the world focused on them. The pressure to not fuck up has to be enormous. Everything they do is amplified. Its not fair, really.

Physically, they will have advantages over their younger fellow soldiers in that strenuous work is not unfamiliar to them, they are accustomed to pushing themselves and they know what it takes to master something that requires a lot of physicality. They are strong and athletic.

And now, emotionally and mentally, they will be fine because they will have each other.

I will miss all of them and be so very excited to count down the days to Jin's discharge... but I will be the most bereft waiting for Jimin and Jungkook.

More Life Hacks to Brighten Your Days (ASD)

I'm back with more life hacks that have made my days brighter. I hope they can do the same for you:

Noise-Canceling Headphones: If you're sensitive to noise, investing in a pair of noise-canceling headphones can be a game-changer. They can help you create a quiet, peaceful environment no matter where you are.

Color Coding: Color coding can be a great way to organize your thoughts, tasks, or belongings. It can make visual processing easier and add a fun, creative element to your day.

Weighted Blankets: Many people on the autism spectrum find weighted blankets comforting. They can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Fidget Tools: Keep a fidget tool in your pocket for moments when you need to stim but want to be discreet. There are many types of fidget tools available, from spinners to sensory rings.

Digital Reminders: Use your phone or digital device to set reminders for tasks, appointments, or even self-care activities. This can help take the stress out of remembering everything.

Safe Space: Create a 'safe space' in your home where you can retreat when things get overwhelming. This could be filled with comforting items, like soft pillows, favorite books, or calming lights.

Self-Care Routine: Develop a self-care routine that you enjoy. This could include activities like drawing, listening to music, taking a bath, or anything else that helps you relax and recharge.

Remember, everyone is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. It's all about finding what works best for you. Feel free to share your own life hacks!

This past week I had a lovely moment of cheer because my package from @flappyhappystim arrived! I forgot I had ordered this at the beginning of the month. It seems like an eternity ago. I've had the worst month of my life this January, on top of the worst 3 months of my life last year (and 12+ months of debilitating burnout). This is such a welcome and needed gift for myself.

This is the second time I've ordered from @flappyhappystim and I gotta share this bundle of yay because it really brightened my week - and gave me something to literally chew on 😁 which I definitely need in the heightened anxiety/trauma I've been going through.

flappyhappystim is a small Canadian business, run by two autistic women and sells stim toys with some great adult/stealth products that I'm excited to try out later this year. So. Excited.

This month I ordered a medium Mystery Clearance Bag because I wanted to have a happy surprise in my life (and surprise and happy I am!!). I also love and purchased a Pay it Forward option where you can donate a few dollars for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford stim toys.

anyway! MYSTERY BUNDLE of cuteness!! Look at 'em ! This is the medium size.

Missing from the photo is another small fidget toy that I left in my jeans pocket somewhere that I was clutching during an appointment yesterday.

I love the variety of textures so much. The bubble tea critter and stress woof are lovely and squishy. I'm gnawing on the blue chew right now. And I had never had a little fabric maze before but I was delighted to figure it out after fussing with it and realize I could nudge the marble through the fabric. I already had a galaxy infinity cube but LOVE this painty-colored one now (and I have this shimmery metallic fidget spinner too I got in the summer.)

Y'all should have seen my face when I figured out the rainbow snapperz. The suction cup makes such a Good Sound when I need it. And sometime I've been wearing it as a giant ring on my knuckle and it's darn good. Wearing all the toys this week. Growing up I had driven my grandmother batty because I had broken every single remote control we ever had. I would open it up and play with the batteries and break the little plastic backing and we had to tape the batteries in. I broke every single pen and chewed on every cap and broke every mechanical pencil. The grief I could have saved my grandmother and myself all those years if I had something else for my sensory needs.

Now I behold and love allll my toys and keep them in my pockets and bags and side tables. So if you're in need of some stim goodies and other fidget toys, please check out flappyhappystim ! They also have gift cards available, too.

@flappyhappystim thank you so much !!

Bad trip

Pairing: Spinner Mason x Fem reader

Description: Spinner finds you in the hall during a bad trip of weed due to smoking too much

Everything felt overbearing as you sat on the bus keeping your head down as you listened to music and slowly sipped on water to calm your quivering heart and your wired mind that was going a thousand miles a minute as your ears began to ring until the bus arrived at Degrassi and you walked inside. It felt like a battle to stay in first and second period feeling chills run through you head to toe along with the room spinning and your heart feeling like it would explode any second and it only got worse as you felt the familiar and unbearable churn of your stomach during third period leading to you throwing up and just barely making it to fourth period before the bell sitting by Ellie who could see that you definitely weren't yourself as class began and passed by like an eternity, your anxiety and emotions got even worse as you had lunch taking to yourself in your mind as you slowly ate and took small sips of cold chocolate milk which seemed to help with the nausea and some of the spinning but you were still a nervous wreck. You walked to your locker for your free period hoping you could either go to the nurse or call home since you knew your sister was home and could get you and not be upset or as upset as your mom would be if she found out you were having a bad trip from weed before everything went into a haze as you sat on the floor in front of your locker with your head hidden under your arms buried against your knees as the bell rang and fifth period began, Spinner had just finished an early session of basketball practice as he walked down the hall to fifth period until he saw you in the floor basically in the fetal position in tears making him immediately stop and crouch in front of you seeing that your eyes were a bit bloodshot and were very dilated to the point all he saw was your brown irises without the black pupil. "I...I smoked too much" you whimpered as he realized after he caught a whiff of your breath that you had smoked weed and you were having a bad trip before he went to the bathroom then came back with wet paper towels gently dabbing at your face before placing one on your neck leading to him taking you outside feeling the cool breeze which helped with the bubbling in your stomach before grabbing your phone and calling your sister, your sister Tania who came and got you knowing immediately you were having a bad trip and you weren't enjoying the high like she always knew you did before she took you home leading to you in bed sipping on water after eating soup and taking an over the counter pain reliever with music playing on a calm volume your radio as the trip slowly passed by getting a text from Spencer asking if you were okay which you responded with an emotional thank you before falling asleep.

Virgil Sanders Headcannons💜

Here are some Virgil headcannons. A decent amount of these are just me projecting onto him because he’s my favorite side and I somewhat relate to him 😅.

Content Warning(s): Brief mention of intrusive thoughts (not in detail), brief mention of feeling anxious (not in detail). Let me know if I missed anything else.

Click below the cut to read the headcannons

—————————————————

- Virgil is a really good hugger. When he still lived with the dark sides, Virgil would often hug Remus when the creative side’s intrusive thoughts were overwhelming. After joining the light sides, it took a while for Virgil to feel comfortable enough around the light sides to offer them hugs.

- When he’s really anxious, Virgil’s hands sweat a lot. So he usually pulls his hoodie sleeves over his hands to try and hide that fact from others.

- Virgil falls asleep really easily in moving vehicles. If he’s being driven somewhere in a car or taking the train somewhere, he might fall asleep for a bit.

- After accepting anxiety, Logan gave Virgil a journal. The logical side told Virgil it was for him to write down his worries in. That way Virgil can have some way of getting the thoughts out of his head, even when he doesn’t feel comfortable talking about his worries with the others. Virgil accepts the gift but says he’s not sure if he’ll use it. He does end up using it a lot whenever he wants to get some of the negative thoughts out of his system.

- Virgil has a collection of fidget items to use whenever he feels overwhelmed by his thoughts and needs something to fidget with. The items include fidget spinner, fidget rings, fidget cubes, and many more.

- ———————————————————

End Notes: Thanks for reading! As always, if you liked any of these headcannons and want to make fanart or fanfiction based on them, you can do so as long as you ask me first, and then credit/tag me in the post so I can see it.

anyways I've been thinking about behavior analysis (lowercase b and a) because I've been really struggling with not picking my skin lately to the point where it's getting to be a safety issue, and I tried to think about it as if I were a 3rd party observer.

Donnie picks its skin. This is an unsafe behavior. All behavior is communication, and all behavior resolves a need. What does picking the skin resolve? Sensory satisfaction at having removed something from the scalp? What is it communicating? Boredom? Anxiety? Is this a self soothing behavior? Is there a replacement behavior that it can use?

And.... I'm coming up dry. My usual go-to of enforced self discipline via Guy In My Head Is Disappointed At Me doesn't work anymore for this. I have to keep my nails cut very short but they grow really fast so at most I get half a day of not touching my pick site. I just wear a beanie to really try and stop it bc then I can't reach my scalp anymore without encountering the barrier to stop me. But it isn't foolproof because I can just take the beanie off.

So I'm thinking about replacement behaviors. I found a spinner ring, not sure if I'll manage to keep it on and use it though. I have an ONO roller fidget and a fidget cube I really like but neither satisfy the sensory need. I'm thinking I need something like... maybe the gear spinner on the fidget cube actually. something with ridges i can catch my fingernail on and spin. maybe I'll look for other ridged fidget things.

and as far as the emotion being communicated by it, it's unconscious about 70% of the time, and 30% of the time it's because I'm bored or very mildly anxious. I'll have to try the replacement behavior first before I think I can do an interventional behavior like journaling or something when I notice I want to pick since I currently don't realize the desire most of the time.

anyways yeah. this had been behavioral analysis with donnie. I've gone to therapy for my skin picking and never resolved it and so it creeps back all the time randomly. like 1/4 of my scalp under my hair is scabbed over or red and raw all the time from this and it's getting painful and gross but I struggle with not picking at it.

[cannabiscomrade]

Oh I didn't realize so many other people also picked their skin compulsively... I've always felt gross and alone in this??? Nice to know so many others exist though I wish none of us had to deal with it. The only thing that's ever stopped my picking was putting on fake nails that wouldn't come off easily and I couldn't scratch with them. Do you have any tips? Maybe I need a spinner ring..

fidgets are the number one deterrent that have helped me, especially body jewelry. Spinner rings were great when I used to wear them. I've heard there are also like. pimple style popping fidgets but I've never tried them and idk if they're like one use or multi.

I've heard gel nails cut short are really good deterrents too, or just cutting your nails every other day. Bandaids and pimple patches serve as a like a tactical reminder of oops I'm not supposed to pick.

You're not gross. I do it so often it's unconscious. I catch myself doing it while driving. Thank god for masks because they help me not pick my face in public. My face and legs are the worst and it's really anxiety and stress driven for me.

[phoenix-positivity]

Vent

In the waiting room for therapy being scared... spring is overwhelming. I put on an extra spinner ring besides my daily anxiety ring and also put on my 'you are safe, just breathe' bracelet. I took two grounding things with me as well. A spiky ball and a squishy stress ball plush with a soft texture. I feel really on edge but I can do this. I've already been very brave today.

trigger warning for: mentions of death, murder, blood & anxiety

you've always been keen on travelling, seeing and exploring new places. the interest, or, as your parents liked to call it, life style, ran in the family. by the time you were five years old, you have had the pleasure of witnessing aurora borealis in it's full glory in multiple skandinavian countries. baltic countries and the rest of the europe soon followed next. this way, childhood and most of your teenage years ended up being one huge adventure you'd always hold dear to your heart. the adventurous and spontaneous life style was placed on hold when you enrolled at the med school the same year you turned eighteen. your primary focus was on the studies and working part-time at animal shelter to save up money for upcoming semesters of school. those turned into long years at med school filled with theory and hands-on practice which, as you realized along the way, was your favorite way of learning. the end of your residency years as an emergency physician was marked by a completely new adventure you decided to reward yourself and your family with by taking your first trip oversees. you could still remember the proud and approving looks you received from your beloved parents and the bright shining eyes of your younger brother eli. everybody overly excited about the potential of exploring new unseen and untouched lands by the fletcher family. north america happened to be the first continent on your bucket list of broad places to explore and while you lacked the clear direction in the list of cities and/or towns that were to be explored, the whole family decided to start with smaller towns and more remote areas. that could only indicate one thing ― a peaceful and enjoyable excursion that everyone were so dying to experience. to the family's great dismay, this could not be further from the truth. the week long trip had drastically cut in half as by the fourth day, the family's car drive across the countryside ended in an abrupt car crash. who would've thought that was even possible in a remote place such as they were travelling through? barely no houses or people living nearby, scarcity of vehicles besides that one that seemed to manifest out of thin air. no nightmares of yours has ever had such a terrible fate as that day which had left deeply rooted scars for the rest of your miserable immortal life. the impact being so great had taken the lives of your family within first moments leaving you witness the horrors caused by the seemingly innnocent distractions that had temporarily captured your attention at the worst time imaginable. there was no doubt you'd follow your loved ones to the other side as excruciating pain had paralyzed your body rendering you completely motionless, only perceptions of mind left to further remind you of your greatest failure. the darkness that engulfed you then was supposed to be the end of it all. you wished it to be the end as in your shattered spirit there was no place for redemption nor continuation of any form beyond this point. that was, indeed your ideal scenerio for the end credits, however, there was someone else ― something else that had decided your fate for you. and, as it will be established eventually by time itself, that alternative path was going to serve as the punishment you truly deserved instead of going down as easily as you'd hoped.

next time you awoke, neither your body nor your mind were your own. it's like some malicious virus had taken over and now was in charge of all your senses, dictating your new needs, desires, likes and dislikes. worst of it all, you had lost the pleasure of enjoying the rays of sun on your skin, the food you used to love indulging yourself in was no longer of interest. however, nothing compared to horrifying realization that these nightmares of losing your family will not cease to torment you no matter the amount of attempts and effort put into distracting yourself from them. a curse was bestowed upon you and there was nothing you could do about it. despite the teachings of the elder that had turned you in order to 'save' your life, you had never learned to truly control your thirst. for one, you distanced yourself as much as you could from the one that created you in a poor attempt to disconnect from him entirely with no luck. the connection between the two of you remained all these years, however the bond on your end was still pretty sour. you had never managed to forgive him, or more like yourself, for the tragic end that met your loved ones on that fateful day, thus moving forward you did everything that was in your power to rebel against your new nature, knowing full well that the attempts will only work temporarily, but that was enough to keep your anxiety and guilt in check. for the time being, anyways. for many upcoming years you wandered different countries and states in hopes of finally satiating your thirst only for it to grow with each drop that landed your now modified tastebuds. no amount of special substance was enough for you as it resulted in many victims left behind completely drained and even more names and/or faces added to a private journal of yours you dared not share with anybody else but yourself as a living proof of the monster that you became all these years ago. that was your new reality now. until it wasn't. time tracking was no longer of any value to you as years flew by anyway at that point, but something ― a memorable meeting had made a significant difference in your being. a destined encounter with a certain witch who ended up being your savior for whatever future held for you. they brought light and hope of potentially surpressing the beast within you and satiating your thirst enough for you to forget the taste and the smell of blood whenever you were in considerable distance to any human or living being. a ring was created for you to be able to tolerate the sun and actually spend additional time outside without any discomfort as well as certain spells were cast on the blood you brough to them which resulted in prolonging your thirst which had been your primary concern and struggle. you were able to focus on being a person again. one with interests, aspirations and vision for the future. you had one person to thank for that and thank them you would as ever since meeting them, you started providing them with rare herbs and other potentially valuable rare items brought from mysterious lands you liked to explore during your days off and your occasional vacations. it was a fair exchange, you always told yourself. they did something for you and you returned the favor with something more tanbigble than just plain words. and as that continued, the more professional bond of trading between two species became something more. something deeper. a connection was formed and although you swore to never get this close to anyone else again, this one person had managed to seamlessly slip through all of your walls and shields previously firmly put in place. they were your anchor, your safe haven and for this you were willing to risk your immortal life for them.

time did pass unbelievably quickly for you and by the time you knew it, it was time to return to your witch confidant for a new set of spells and due to such usual visits it was apparent that you could not wander too far away from where the other was located. on the other hand, there was something about this town... something that called for you. it felt welcoming. right. perhaps it wouldn't hurt to try and settle for at least a little bit? it was not a decision you had to wonder about for too long. after your latest visit you decided to move to oldham and see what this place had to offer. strange as it may be, oldham's general hospital appeared to be looking for additional emergency physician which only affirmed your choice of staying there. your primary focus now was to help the rest of oldham's residents in any way possible rather than diverting attention to yourself and the struggles you were currently facing due to incredibly small amount of blood you allowed yourself to consume. the ever growing exhaustion, anxiety, restlessness and aggression did cause quite a bit of a stir within, however your fearless determination had prevailed time and time again. nontheless, the issue in the background was only growing and the thirst could only be suppressed for so long. suddenly the sunshine over your skin did not feel as pleasant as it used to and the little taste you received by consuming regular human food was close to nonexistent. the culprit? unknown. reason? unknown. was it finally time for you to truly meet your grusome end? or is it another cruel challenge the fate decided to throw your way?

― mentor / creator [ 1/1 ] you never asked for it. you'd never wish this upon anyone and yet it happened. someone else stole this crucial decision from you and you were expected to simply accept it? accept that your newest reality was the hell you deserved to be living in? fate truly had a really interesting way of showing it... | taken by abraham “ abra ” milton ― confidants [ 2/4 ] there was no place in your heart after the tragic accident that had changed everything for you. letting someone in ― letting anyone in only brought anguish and intensified a prominent longing for something that was long lost. then again, nothing ever meant to stay the same forever, right...? | taken by eve "evie" adair, sarai notchaiya ― trusted witch & warlock contacts [ 1/3 ] there was so much you could do without the help of your magic wielding friends. there was no denying it ― you couldn't enjoy your time outdoors in peace if it weren't for their assistance. there is a high chance you wouldn't even be where you were right now without them. being dependent on someone else was never in your bucket list, but did you really have a different choice? | partially taken by eve "evie" adair ― the curse of immortality [ 1/5 ] who said you couldn't relate to someone else who just happened to be stuck in this damned place for eternity? there is much to be shared, learned and experienced together after all. so at this point, why should you suffer alone? | partially taken by abraham “ abra ” milton ― hey, got a ciggie? [ 0/2 ] working in the emergency room is not for the faint of hearts. although you love the spontaneity and the unknown that comes with each patient that will be in need of different treatments, the shifts can easily get pretty hectic and next thing you know the axiety has reached the roof of your tolerance, threatening to breach your limits. that's where your dear co-workers come into play, distracting you enough with their small talk and lunch/smoking/coffee breaks for you to catch your breath again. there is gratitude there, although it is not often expressed out loud. still, you make sure to bring that to their attention in any way you possibly can. ― don't i know you...? [ 1/2 ] what's that wonderful face that just left the coffee shop moments ago...? there is no doubt you have seen them somewhere before, but when you try to trace back a potential name, your memory decides to shut down. surely there must be a reason for that? you were never the forgetful type, so why each time you'd like to address them, call out to them, nothing comes out? perhaps the issue was never about their current name... after all, we all do have to start our journey somewhere. who knows which name they'll be using in this lifetime. | partially taken by tamsyn "amalthea/'thea" grey ― my other annoying half [ 0/2 ] each time you are met with their face it forces a new set of snappy combacks out of you. you don't sugarcoat. you aren't holding back one bit. everything you say is meant to get on their nerves, push their buttons, drive them towards madness itself. yet neither of you seem to give up. no. they won't get the pleasure of witnessing you lose your last proper braincells. the clownery has just begun and you'll be the last one to put on your makeup. ― safe haven [ 0/1 ] the fierce streak of protectiveness has always been in your blood. there was never place of tolerance for any form of injustice in your eyes. so when your paths crossed a certain knowing was established within your being. no harm of any kind was to come to this person. you weren't always able to protect those you loved the most, but protecting one... that you can do.

― it's all your damn fault [ 0/2 ] it can take very little for you to become your messy self, especially when it comes to new ruthless nature you aren't proud of. and these two just know how to get under your skin, push the right buttons to unleash the inner beast whether for something as fucked up as for fun or any other reason that's unknow to you. nonetheless, one is clear from the start ― they do not have pure intentions at heart when it comes to you nor care about the consequences that will end up accompanying their foolish actions. ― i'll see you around, then? [ 0/3 ] messy is what most of your relationships could be described as. or hook-ups, rather, would be more fitting in this case. you try your best to keep it as casual as it can be, yet it doesn't always go according to the plan, does it? ― so... are we friends or? ( potential slow-burn ) [ 0/1 ] you could easily identify and count the same main emotions that happen to be a part of your agenda at least once a day on your fingers. this, however, you cannot label. has it been too long of a time for you to recall the proper name and meaning of this feeling? deep appreciation is what has to be. you are sure of it. besides, they must be feeling the same if that playful grin and a particular glint in their eyes whenever you meet is of any indication. when has some harmless teasing ever been a culprit of any kind..?

Sunflower & Bee Fidget Spinner Ring Women Anxiety, Sterling Silver Solid Unique Jewelry, Handmade Gift For Her Birthday

[movedtoferinehuntress]

☾ *  ── 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄'𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 .

rules: list the things your muse carries in their pockets or bags in their everyday life. (optional: explain their significance.) repost, don’t reblog.

➤ Tagged by : @shimmerbeasts ➤ Tagging: @ofwaterandfire (Viktor), @decidentia (vi), @realmyths (Vi), @angelicaaster, @knightfeared (Jayce / Grayson), @knightinsourarmor (Mel or Vi), @vulpesse, @goldenfists, @couturiere, @ambrosius-goldenlion, @lashhers, @knifvd (Soraka / Luxanna), @hemomania, @heredis-sanguinis and anyone else who wants to <3

── Caitlyn's most noticeable and known item that is typically always on her person is her rifle, gifted to her by Grayson when she was hitting her teenage years. The Rifle is specialized and one of a kind, able to fold in half for easier carry as well as extending the rifle barrel forward. Caitlyn named the rifle Oathkeeper, as a promise to Grayson that she would always use the rifle to protect people. In later years, Caitlyn gets the rifle a few upgrades, including having Hextech invested in the weapon to allow for greater distance and power behind her shots, but also it allows her to use concussive shots as well as electric bullets for paralyzing takedowns. At the front is a grenade launcher, which allows her to fight electric nets or smoke bombs. She has Jinx to thank for her adaptive process as she learned she could not depend solely on bullets alone but needed to become more unpredictable with her weaponry.

── Her Pistol had been a gift from her parents, sketched with foxes upon it as their connection to Ionia and its roots. Foxes have many meanings but to the Kiramman they are spirits of the dead, keepers of life, and know to bring good omens to those who respect them. Caitlyn didn't wear her pistol all the time until the events in the undercity and her charged struggle with Jinx. Now, she always has her pistol on her hip and she is never without it. While she may or may not have her rifle on her, her pistol is ALWAYS on her side. Unfortunately, she has learned that Piltover is not as safe as it claims to be, so she refuses to ever leave her house without her pistol, which she has called Fox Song.

── Caitlyn's two blades were crafted by Jayce as a favor. She wanted a pair of weapons that were not enforcer-issued and would be slightly smaller and easier to carry. They fit into her boots, with a sheath that fits on the inside of the boot rather than the outside (she can interchange the sheath to any boot wear she wears or on a belt). These two blades are called Frostbite and Moon's Edge. The iron and steel are imported from Frejlord, known to have the strongest metal ore around. Caitlyn learned hand-to-hand combat from being at the Enforcer's Academy, so while she is far more skilled with her rifle and pistol, she can handle hand-to-hand combat and knows how to use her knives in case she needs to in a means to protect herself. These are always on her person as well, she never leaves the house without them.

── Caitlyn got her spinner rings when she was eighteen, as it helps with her stims and anxiety whenever they pop up. She typically wears them on her left or right thumb or pointer finger (she has several in her room, due to different sizes and environments) but she never fails to have one on her hand. They allow her fingers a distraction to twist and spin the center component that allows her to focus better and keeps her hands busy.

── Caitlyn has a ton of journals! In her room, there is a small dresser that is specifically for her journals. She started to write in them when she was twelve, finding it helped ease her mind to have everything on paper (think of it like a box, and her box was overflowing due to having an eidetic memory and being unable to "forget" details). She always has spare ones on hand, so that if one gets full she just grabs a new one. Each journal is leather bound and has a pen with it. She will never go without a journal, because while she has an eidetic memory, she finds it a lot easier to organize her thoughts and memories into a journal to see them visually (though she can visually map out everything in her head as well).

── Caitlyn's fluorite necklace was given to her by Jayce on her twelve birthday. Jayce and Caitlyn both have a love for rocks and gemstones, so when he found one of purple and blue, he immediately thought of Caitlyn and got it placed on a silver chain and gifted to her. She often wears the necklace daily and only takes it off if she is going to a fancy occasion (and the necklace doesn't fit the outfit she is wearing) or if she needs to remove it. Most of the time, though, she always has it around her neck. She likes to twist it between her fingers, another object she use to deal with her fidgety hands.

Classes are starting soon, could you give us some witch tips for success? ❤️

Sorry for the late reply

I wasn't a witch in school but I can certainly share what I feel would've been helpful for me that I now do with my research personal studies.

Enchant/personalize your notebooks: Most people seem to color code but you can take it a step further and draw or paint design on your notebooks with meaning. I mainly do this with my sketchbooks where my most recent I put symbolism of the ocean due to wanting to dive deeper into my subconscious through my art. You can draw something abstract and linear and hide runes or symbols if you don't want it to be obvious. Or you can be more direct. Draw an elephant for memory. A butterfly for change. An owl for wisdom. Whenever you add them, enchant your books for that purpose. Then whenever you look at them and open them it can be a reminder of the intention and you can silently restrengthen the enchantment with each use.

Locket spells: If you have a locket necklace or charm for bracelets, you can do small daily targetted spells that you wear on yourself to aid in whichever challenges you may have for the day. I find rubbing the locket tends to refill me with the energy I need for the targetted task as well, so quite helpful for any forms of tests, quizzes or essays and just fidget with it during for assistance.

Hair spells: If you have medium to long hair, different hair braids can be used to do a quick spell to yourself in times of need.

3 strands can be used for anything except curses, more commonly associated with knot spells if you have any.

4 and 5 strand braids can be used for combo spells, if you have a tie or ribbon handy to place on the end it holds the spells together

To quickly relieve any mid day stress and clear away anxiety loosen your hair and shake it then tie back into a messy bun if you can, if not leave it loose to make sure everything gets released. Tie or braid up what you can when you feel relief to hold on to your focus

Those are pretty much what came to mind that I would use myself, others would be ring magic which involves wearing rings on corresponding fingers for your aim, spinner rings I feel would work well for charge/release when necessary but simply rubbing a ring works too. There's also just discreet sigil magic, morning coffee/tea magic, or pocket crystals/spells that can be carried either in your pocket or any crevice you have access to (I and a few femme witches carry them in our bra, I've also braided small ones into a bun braid).

Cleanse and ground whenever you can.

I find that most stress and anxiety in school was due to a surplus of energies. Depending on the grade level the back to back classes can easily carry and mix energies over. A quick deep breath and release before the next class will be very helpful. Going back to the notebook enchantments, you may be able to close off the energies of a class by connecting it to the books being open and closed that way if you need the energies and memories from a class when doing homework you can simply open the book to call them back to you.

That's all I got for now. All the best to you all in school. Inbox is always open and just a reminder I did use to be a teacher so I know somewhat of the workings of the education system if you need help with that. My passions or focus was on art education and student counseling so making sure students were getting their proper accommodations and being treated fairly by their teachers was my full passion. My art class served as a way of keeping an eye out when things may pop up in the daily art journals, but also my doors were just always open for students struggling in any way.... I miss teaching (my problem was the system not the school)
