12 for milti muse questionnaire
yet another multimuse questionnaire / Accepting
@inseparableduo sent a multimuse for ya girl!: 12. Do you have any new muses in the works? If you so, can you tell us about them?
Of course I would be delighted to! As I keep saying I'm bringing old muses from past blogs to here with many having slight changes from revisions. Though I do have a few fresh ideas I want to bring too, so I will try to limit this to just a few!
Susara is a arachne and younger sister the current Divine Weaver. She is known as the Wish Weaver, she much more of a trickster and kind of unhinged compared to her older sister cause she will ridiculous deals depending on her mood. However, she's incredibly bubbly and despite her clearly dangerous vibes can be quite helpful if respected.
Keron, a now partially cybernetic teenager that already born with superpowers was taught to properly use them on the spot to save his own life. He lives in the Belle agency's children center and works as a junior agent. Unlike other members, he isn't a star of any kind and just wanted repay the agency for saving his life. He was a old muse before but I never really used him.
Kimyo, is a newer OC I am surprisingly very hyped to make into a eventual muse before some older muses that need the chance first lol. It's suppose to be kind of her fault the Kitsune possessed Akeri in the first place cause she was convinced released her. But she didn't know everything was gonna happen, she is part of the Shrine crew trying to make amends for her careless mistake.
Vilfrid, this dude I keep gaslighting that he's coming back one of these days. Honest, I want to bring to him back and I plan to. He lives on one end of the river in Suojarvi (where Mika and Marja came from) and know as a river guardian. He can cure most illnesses and lift most curses, but if someone disrespect the forest especially his river he will not hesitate to murder (most Suojarvi forest dwellers are unhinged about their forest mkay).
And that's it for now cause I don't wanna overwhelm!
#inseparableduo#opening letters; answered#thank you so much for giving me a chance to blab like a moron#quite a mismatch of character types here#a chaotic spider queen#a duracell battery disguised as a cool kid#a airhead shrine maiden#and a fish

Lovie having an even worse day than the grump story and hitting Vic pelova and having an all mighty meltdown
TINY TEMPER — alessia russo x child!reader
a long one🙃 got a little carried away when i was writing this, but ENJOY!
grumpy masterlist
travelling was tiring for the average person. travelling to the other side of the world was exhausting. travelling to the other side of the world at the age of four was anything but tiring, until it hits you like a brick wall that is.
alessia knew this would happen. she's tried so hard for it not to happen but when your so little and you get to do exciting things there's no containing your energy.
but it was now officially day two of arsenals post season trip to melbourne and you were past the point of tired.
when the flight landed at seven am yesterday morning you were fast asleep, alessia not thinking anything of it. more thanking her lucky stars she was going to be able to get through customs a little quicker without having to have eyes in back of her head in case you decided to bolt. something you'd done on the layover finding it the funniest game ever.
however, alessia wished she could have gone back in time and told herself to wake you up instead of just trying to make things easier for herself as when it came to bed time last night you had more energy than a duracell battery meaning you didn't exactly have the longest night sleep.
but hey you were four and had no concept of time never mind time zones..
"oh did someone not have a good night sleep?" steph giggled slightly as you sat at the breakfast table with your arms on it as your head rested on them an almighty frown on your face.
"who you asking tiny or less?" kyra teased as alessia glared at the young australian a cup of coffee secured tightly in her hands. steph slapping kyra on the shoulder also giving the girl a warning glare. your mummy placing a bowl of cereal in front of you and a bowl of fruit next to it.
you would usually start digging into it but not today, instead you pushed it as far as you could away from you. not wanting it anywhere close to you. pushing it until it hit steph's plate as she was the one who was sat in front of you.
"lovie, don't do that please" alessia said firmly as she pulled your bowl back to be in front of you. you huffing as you turned your head away from the bowl.
"i never thought i would see the day tiny not eating her coco pops!" kyra tried as you gave her a cold stare. you didn't want to eat them, you wanted to sleep but every time you closed your eyes mummy was tapping you on the shoulder waking you up.
"you'll have to be quick, otherwise they'll go all soggy and yucky-" kyra tried again, usually you would listen to kyra as she helped you create some fun when everyone else was being all dull and serious.
"just leave her kyra, she's not gonna eat them" alessia sighed as she watched you turn so you were sat on the on edge of your chair, kicking your legs back and forth. your white crocs which were on your feet close to coming off.
you swinging your feet further and further until your crocs flew off you feet. them being very close to landing on the table next to you. where katie, cailtlin and teyah were sat talking and eating their breakfast.
"ay whose little croc is this" katie's thick irish accent coming out as she picked up your croc, sending you a pointed smile. you giving katie a frown in return as you went back to swinging your legs back and forth.
"do you want it back?" katie had got up and walked the few steps handing your croc back to you but you just ignoring her as katie looked up at alessia who was shaking her head telling the irish girl a no. katie giving a nod understanding you clearly weren't in the mood.
"i'll just give it to your ma" katie nodded to alessia handing your shoe over as alessia mumbled a small thank you as katie returned back to her seat.
alsssia was exhausted already and the day had nearly just begun and that wasn’t due to jet lag although it probably played a big factor but from the fact she knew she was in for a day from hell with you and your grumpy mood.
you come out your shell a little, playing around with vic in a soft play area that the hotel had, most of the girls had been told to chill before it was time for meetings.
alessia was a little more content knowing you were playing with vic, although she would have preferred it more if you’d had a nap but you were having none of that when the idea was suggested.
so alessia sat in the little cafe next to it doing some uni work. her eyes glancing over every so often to where you and vic were. vic admittedly looking like she was having way more fun in the small play area sitting in a ball pit filled with colourful plastic balls.
you were sat playing with building blocks, building them as high as you could before barrelling most definitely a little too aggressively your foot in the bottom of it watching it tumble before restarting.
“vic me wan that one!” you pointed to another little boy who was in the play area on the other side playing with what looked to be his younger brother, as he also was building a tower with other coloured blocks.
“no tiny, you can’t right now someone else is playing with it” vic smiled gently as she picked up another ball in the ball in the ball pit.
“me wan that one!” you demanded a little louder this time, looking over to the little boy as you glared at vic who was starting to get a little uncomfortable as she didn’t exactly know how to respond or handle the situation which in her eyes looked like it wasn’t going to end with your usual cheesy grin.
“tiny you’ll have to wait your turn.. why don’t you play in the ball pit with me” vic tried, hoping it would help for you to forget about the building blocks.
unfortunately for vic it couldn’t be that easy, you instead shaking your head totally uninterested in the ball pit that was filled with colourful plastic balls.
instead you got yourself up from where you’d been sat, vic seeing you were making a beeline for the little boy. in a blink of an eye vic was up out of the ball pit, colourful balls flying out the pit as she lifted you up just inches away from the little boy.
you letting out an angry scream you began to kick your legs into viv’s body as well as flaying your arms around. what vic hadn’t realised is that there was a building block still in your hand and with your arms flaying around, the block hit vic straight in the eye.
the scream alone was enough to catch alessia’s attention as she shot up leaving her uni work, seeing your temper tantrums finally happen. quickly getting to vic’s rescue you were taken out of vic’s arms as you carry on kicking your legs and screaming just this time on the floor.
alessia quickly asking is vic was okay, the dutch girl flashing a smile and nodding her head. her eyes watering a little bit in all she was in fact okay.
alessia’s attention moved to you, as you were still on the floor of the hotel. screaming and crying while you kicked you legs out in pure frustration. alessia could sense the other guests wondering the hotel where staring at the scene that was happening.
alessia trying to pick you up by your hand but you were having none of it, just letting your entire body go limp. to the point where alessia’s patience had worn and she had to pick you up.
"tiny temper strikes!" kyra says with a proud smile, as the others look at her with a pointed look, totally unimpressed.
"you've been waiting ages to say that haven't you-" steph asks as kyra nodded her head enthusiastically watching on as you pull a tantrum in the middle of the hotel lobby. your over tiredness really kicking in.
"that's a singer you tool!" katie laughs at the young australian as the others look on, kyra sat with a confused look.
"what, no it's not" kyra shakes her head not understanding what katie was saying as it breaks katie into another fit of laughter, caitlin hitting katie on the shoulder for her to quieten down.
“katie your thinking of tinie tempeh” steph corrected the irish girl as katie rolled her eyes playfully, “same thing”
alessia managed to get you back to the room, where your sobs had quietened down as you face was now stained with tears as the occasional sniffle came from you.
you had been sat on your own for the past minutes, your mummy giving you the space you clearly needed before trying to talk to you. alessia had tried to talk to you but you just kept moving your head away from her every time she spoke.
“lovie?” your mummy said calmly, as she stood a few inches away from you. alessia was upset with your behaviour but she also knew it wasn’t entirely your fault as you were only acting this way because you were overly tired and overwhelmed. but still it was so excuse.
you glanced over to your mummy as you came a little closer, sniffles still coming from you. your mummy bending down so that she matched your height as you sat on the end of the bed.
“now y/n you understand that what you did to vic wasn’t very kind?”your mummy spoke in a serious which told you she was disappointed in you, you bowing your head so you just looked at your feet, a little hiccup coming from you from spending twenty minutes sobbing.
“you could have really hurt her or yourself with how you were acting” your mummy continued as you still were looking down at you socks and the patterns that were on them.
“do you understand where mummy is coming from?” she asked as you nodded slightly, you understood that what you had done was wrong and you didn’t feel a little upset with yourself for the way you had acted.
"how uncle gio would think if he saw you acting like this?" your mummy asked as you shrugged your shoulder, slightly confused as to why she was bringing up gio he wasn't even here, you hadn't seen him in person since christmas just before he set off on his big adventure around the world.
you shrugged, "uncle gio not here though"
"well he was coming to see you but i don't think he'll want to now especially if you being not very kind" alessia told you as you lifted your head a little. uncle gio was here, how?
“m’sorry” you mumbled under your breath, still looking at your feet.
“i know you are lovie, but when we see vic next i would like you to apologise to her, can you do that for me?” your mummy asked as you looked up from you feet and nodded a small squeak of a yes coming from you as you nodded.
“good, now lovie i want you to promise if you ever get any big feelings that you don’t know what to do. i want you to tell me and mummy can help you” your mummy told you as you slides down from the bed and hugged your mum. alessia’s arms going around you tiny waist tightly as she stroked her hand up and down your back just like she always did.
“can i make a card for vic to say sorry?” you asked quietly, as you mummy flashed a small smile before nodding.
“i think that would be a lovely idea lovie! i’ll get your pens from the suitcases”
you had spent all your time in the afternoon while your mummy trained making vic a card, drawing yourself on it with vic and all of her favourite things — that you could remember that is.
you wanted it to be perfect, and after training you asked your mummy to help you write what you wanted in it.
your mummy writing it while you told her what to write. you making sure to add your own little personalisation into it.
vic was one of the last ones out of training, having went to make a trip to see the physio. just to get a ice pack for the small bruise you had given her on the side of her eye,
your mummy had told you to leave it on her bag, so you doing as you were told you did just that.
mummy was in a strange hurry to leave training you weren’t quite sure why, but you did as you were told. putting your shoes and jumper on when asked before holding tightly onto your mummy’s hand. saying bye to couple of arsenal girls that had managed to get back to the changing room.
your mummy lead you to the front of where you had been training, stopping in the front lobby. as you looked up and asked why.
“just waiting for a second lovie, then we can go on a walk” your mummy smiled as she looked around the lobby.
“can we go to the park?” you asked with hopeful smile, you had seen one on the coach on the way to the hotel and it looked pretty cool and had things you hadn’t seen in the park near your house in london.
“maybe, we’ll see” mummy said quickly as you frowned a little. you hated when people older than you would respond to you with that as it usually meant no, and that was no fun to you.
but the frown was quickly turned around into a smile as your mummy pointed to someone coming around the corner, you gasped as you realised just who it was.
"uncle gio!" you called out excitedly as he lifted you up in the air, throwing you slightly as giggles escaped you as he caught you. your mummy stood recording the whole interaction.
"hey kiddo, you've gotten so big since i last saw you!" gio smiled as you nodded proudly starting to babble how you'd grown and show him how much with your hands.
"i heard you've been causing some trouble!" gio whispered as you gave him a blank smile back, moving your head to face your mummy who's eyebrows were raised.
"i think we are still adjusting to the new time zone in australia, but still we've had a little chat and tomorrows a new day isn't it lovie!" alessia have you a small smile as you nodded your head before resting it on gio's shoulder.
your mummy and your uncle gio began to talk as gio carried you walked through the streets of melbourne. your mummy claiming she wanted to go shopping as you felt comfort in your uncles arms, pointing things out as he gave you a reassuring nod and smile.
but before you had even got to the first shop, you had fell into a trap of dreams. your eyes had felt heavy when walking past a cute little coffee shop but that's the last thing you remember before your eyes, which had felt heavy since the moment you woke up, closed.
"wait- what how on earth have you done that..." your mummy stopped before entering the first shop, noticing you had fallen asleep, something she had been trying all day to get you to have a short nap.
"done what?" gio looked at alessia with a confused look not quite sure what she meant. he hadn't done anything except walk along the streets with you in his arms.
"got her to sleep!"
"cause i'm an amazing uncle duh!" gio laughed once he realised, alessia shaking her head at her older brothers cockiness.
"well she's got half an hour for a nap, you can be in charge of waking her up" alessia smiled sarcastically before continuing.
"and with those amazing uncle skills i’m sure you'll have no problem with lovie's grumpiness when you have to wake her up" alessia continued, the same smile still plastered on her face as she tapped her brother on the back before leaving him to go and look in a shop.

Analytical Application 1: Ideology and Culturalism
youtube
The P&G ad emphasizes that the dreams of the athletes in the (at the time) current 2012 Olympics were able to achieve their dreams due to the sacrifices and material labor of their parents, particularly their mothers.
Material labour is the physical work and actions that are required to produce material goods. Marx uses material labour as a noun referring to one of the sides of the division of labour. The other side is the mental labour or the ruling class which also controls the ruling ideas. This is because the material labour is busied by physical and material production, thus having less time for mental production which makes them passive to the ideas of the mental labour[1].
The P&G ad shows multiple mothers from different areas and social classes (all conveniently middle class or lower) going through daily tasks with their children which include making breakfast for them, doing laundry and dishes, and driving them places. In addition to these tasks, we get to see their children doing different sports and growing up to excel at them. Ultimately, the ad intertwines with footage of Olympians succeeding and thanking their mothers. These mothers represent the material labour, who complete the menial/material tasks. The ad promotes the supposed necessity of material labour by suggesting that this is a worthy sacrifice which enables one’s children’s goals as suggested by the very time relevant and emotionally satisfying example of Olympians. This promotes the time old narrative that the material labour must sacrifice for small gains while the ruling class continue to gain more from that material labour.
The P&G ad promotes material labour by creating what is supposed to be a relatable and emotional story that promises payoff. By incentivizing material labour, the ad promotes its products which are used for many of the shown tasks that are associated with homemaking such as tide for laundry and Duracell batteries for the morning alarms.
[1] Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, “The Ruling Class and the Ruling Ideas. How the Hegelian Conception of the Destination of the Spirit in History Arose”, in Marx and Engels 1845 - 47, vol. 5, digital ed. (Great Britain: Lawrence & Wishart, 2010), 59-60.
youtube
The Tide "It's not a Tide ad" uses the mechanical reproduction of formulaic ads to its advantage by reproducing those ads and then subverting the audience's expectations by saying that all of these ads are really Tide ads.
Mechanical reproduction is the ability to reproduce original works of art. In the past reproduction was limited by the physical ability and the time to reproduce a manual reproduction, but with increasing leaps in technology such as the printing press, photography, and the film camera, reproduction has become more attainable and the reproduced works more accessible. Benjamin argues that with every reproduction (or at least manual reproduction) some of the aura- a piece’s unique existence and context- is lost. With technical reproduction, however, some copies can have added meanings or context that the original did not[1].
The “It’s a Tide ad” carries a heavy awareness of mechanical reproduction. It knows that so many different ads and their respective formulas have been recreated and shoved in the publics faces to the point that each formula (the car ad, the perfume ad, that one insurance guy with the ostrich ad, etc.) is instantly recognizable. It reproduces these ads, and yet ads its own context: that all these ads rely on the cleanness of clothes, something that only Tide and not the other originally advertised products do. Thus, even though this ad is the reproduction, every original ad is really just a Tide ad. By subverting expectations, this reproduction manages to be more memorable than the (very reproduced) originals and create an association between all the other ads and itself.
The tide ad is a prime example of where a reproduction, and this ad is the ultimate reproduction of ads, ultimately adds a different meaning than the originals and even uses the originals’ meaning to further support this new context. It’s a reproduction that takes advantage of reproductions while managing to be very original.
[1]Walter Benjamin, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, in Film Theory and Criticism, 7th ed., ed. Leo Braudy and Marshall Cohen (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), 666 - 670.
youtube
The Alexa Loses her voice ad represents the culture industry at its finest by having these creators (musicians and actors) perform their crafts and use their self-image to promote the interests of capitalism and a large corporation like Amazon.
The Culture Industry is the production of entertainment products that through their public visibility and induction into a general culture subdue the public and project the ideology of the ruling class[1]. Artistic merit is ruined during the production and distribution phases[2]. Since the culture industry is entirely engrained in capitalism, artists rely on funding by controlling powers and organizations. Material power is equated to influence within the culture industry which is ideological power[3].
In the Alexa ad, one of the biggest companies in the world can (through their material wealth) hire several comedians, singers, and entertainers (artists) to use their talents (such as Cardi B rapping) to promote the Alexa product. In addition to that, we get the contrast of these normal people that the ad insinuates need/rely on Alexa, with the wealthy voices of Alexa who are surrounded by their wealth. Anthony Hopkins consorts with peacocks, Cardi is surrounded by clothes and shoes, and Rebel Wilson relaxes in a bubble bath. These artists have gained wealth from their talents and from their agreements/deals with those in power (Amazon and Beezos), showing how entirely the culture industry is steeped/motivated by capitalism. Yet, our fondness for these artists and their talents overshadows this show of wealth. Part of the joke seems to be that this famous people are acting as Alexa which is ultimately a service role. Yet these people don’t service the ordinary people. Yes, they create media that we consume, but ultimately that media is controlled by those in power, the very same people who have the resources to convince Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins to appear in an Amazon ad.
The Alexa loses her voice ad, while on the surface an amusing collage of several celebrities pretending to be Alexa, is proof of the sway that money has on the creatives of the world. This relation between creatives and those in power is the backbone of the cultural industry.

The "She's a Woman" advert relies heavily on the ideological state apparatus that is marriage and family.
The ideological state apparatus are the “certain number of realities which present themselves to the immediate observer in the form of distinct and specialized institutions”, these institutions can include religion and its organizations, the family unit, cultural organizations, and educational systems[1]. Through these systems, certain ideologies- the ideologies of the ruling class who also have control over the repressive state apparatus- are enforced on the masses.
The John Lewis ad, set to Billy Joel’s “She’s Always a Woman”, depicts a girl/woman going through the stages (from babyhood to being a grandparent) of an everywoman life. It should be noted that these stages are traditional ones that uphold gender roles and interact with the social institutions of family. The girl is defined in the latter half of the ad by her role as a wife and then as a mother and grandmother. The family ideological state apparatus supports capitalism by enforcing the idea that the good life is creating and supporting a family which can only be done by following capitalistic rules and norms[2]. The ad further promotes the idea of the good life by backing the ad to a nostalgic sign and showing only brief life snapshots that don’t include any strife. The ad is supposed to feel comforting, and make the viewer feel like they need to participate in capitalism and get John Lewis insurance to have this kind of traditional happiness. Particularly, the ad seems to be aimed at the older generation who have had this family ideological state apparatus nailed into them and who may feel emotional about how the ad resembles their own life. They would additionally find a nostalgic quality to the song choice.
The John Lewis ad both supports and benefits from the institution of family within the ideological state apparatus to sell its insurance and by insinuated extension, the good life.

The Iceland ad that announces the choice to stop using palm oil challenges the dominant hegemonic position that allows capitalism to abuse the world's resources.
The dominant hegemonic position are the ideas of the ruling class which are permeated through ideological state apparatuses such as family and social institutions as well as media[1]. Since the ruling class has access to both material wealth and force, they can impose their ideas on the general whose business with material labour makes them more passive to the ideas of the ruling class which are sometimes presented in falsely packaged leisure[2].
The Iceland ad originally starts off as nonchallenging: it’s an animated ad about a mischievous monkey narrated by a childlike poem. When the girl questions the orangutan why it’s in her room causing mischief, the ad quickly turns into something else: a condemning of human activities and destruction in capitalistic pursuit. The ad uses the already set style of animation and rhyming to convey a new message, which is a subversion of the idea that style is often a distractor for the standardization/homogenization of ideas (that enforce a dominant hegemonic position)[3]. This ad is challenging the status quo and thus the dominant hegemonic position of capitalism and the production norms (or rather lack of morals) prevalent in business. The company announces its choice to stop using palm oil in the hopes of a better future for children (like the girl character) and wildlife (like the orangutan character). The ad’s rejection by broadcasting media and its subsequent ban is proof of the power of those who hold the dominant hegemonic position and their willingness to use their power to silence those who question/challenge their position.
The banned Iceland ad challenges the dominant hegemonic position that allows the destruction of forests like the one that the orangutan character lived in for the comforts and riches of capitalism and thus suffers the consequences of going against those who created this dominant position.

10 THINGS TO START DOING IN 2023
1. PRACTICE GRATITUDE - Cultivate the attitude of gratitude. "Life is full of give and take. Give thanks and take nothing for granted."
2. REMEMBER SELF-COMPASSION - Be kind to yourself and your perfect imperfections. We don’t have to be perfect to be great!
"Stop for a minute, breathe and be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come."
3. FOCUS - Do you know what you want to be, have or create in life? Make a list of these items and say no to anything else. Become laser- focused!
“The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed.” - Robert Collier
4. PLAN - Knowing what we want is super important, but just dreaming is not enough.
“If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real.” - Tony Robbins
5. THE LITTLE THINGS - We become what we repeatedly do. When we want to improve anything in our life, we need to look into improving our little daily habits, things we do every day that make us ourselves. It's all about the little improvements and the little victories. It's all about the little things. They are the jigsaw puzzles of the big picture of life.
6. BECOME A STUDENT OF LIFE - Learn from every painful experience. They are all just lessons. Wisdom comes from discovering the lessons and finding ways to feel grateful for everything that happened.
"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
7. MAKE TIME TO REST - Allow yourself to rest and recharge your batteries. Nobody runs on “Duracell”. We all need time to push hard and time to just chill.
8. TRUST THE TIMING OF YOUR LIFE - Your timing is always perfect for YOU. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Take a deep breath and continue building the life of your dreams.
9. BECOME UNSTOPPABLE - Nothing can stop the “Whatever it takes” attitude. “Confidence is deciding that you're unstoppable – not that you'll never fail.”
10. SHARE YOUR SUCCESSES - “There is no delight in owning anything unshared.” - Seneca
“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” - Maya Angelou
BONUS:
Remind yourself daily how WONDERFUL and AWESOME YOU ARE!
Look in the mirror and tell yourself: "I LOVE BEING ME! I"M WONDERFUL AND AWESOME!"
Keep smiling and keep shining! Have a Super Powerful New Year!❤🥳✨✨

(I was busy yesterday so I couldn't just scroll on Facebook for all of the updates like I have been, so I have a lot for today)
They ended up shutting down the Adair County (the county that Greenfield is located) landfill. I'm not sure why and I'm not sure for how long, but they have listed other dump sites for the debris to be dropped off at for the time being as people work to pick up the pieces.
If you want one of the shirts from the link I posted, you still have a few days to order it!
Several other places have also made shirts but most of them aren't giving nearly as much back into Greenfield as the link I posted (some of em are charging like. $25/shirt and are proudly claiming that only $1 of that is going back to Greenfield 🙄).
Item donations (like clothes, food, cleaning supplies, etc) are still shut down, however there are some people in the greater surrounding area that have started collecting such items for the point in time when all of that stuff is going to be needed again.
Things like car seats and (brand new) mattresses have started to pop up for people to get as needed.
There are also several people offering their spare rooms/extra properties/campers to people who are still looking for somewhere they can more permanently settle into until they get their home back. A lot of these people (not all) are offering these spaces for free.
Tide was there with portable laundry mats that they were running for free (not sure if they're still there).
Duracell also sent someone with a lot of batteries for people who need them.
Greenfield was approved for FEMA support.
Churches from surrounding areas have started sending in sack lunches for people.
Businesses are still out there providing meals for victims/volunteers.
They are still only allowing people in who have a direct contact to Greenfield and are there to help with the clean up process. Much to the frustration of my aunt who tried to get in because that's where our closest grocery store is (within like. A 30-45 minute radius or something) but they wouldn't let her despite the fact that the store is currently functioning normally. Just kind of an example of how strict they're still being with those things. They aren't even allowing journalists in. You either have to have a direct contact in Greenfield or you have to be a certified contractor.
We have also had our first case of someone taking advantage of the situation. Someone stole the stereo/speakers out of someone's truck. This someone had already lost their entire home and the truck was damaged (they did not say how damaged).
There are several places that are offering childcare for people helping clean up/going back to work/figuring out a plan for their next step. People have been donating to these temporary daycare centers so the kids have toys/activities while they're at these places. There are also places working to get some day camps going for kids to have those activities going. These day camps are asking for volunteers who are 18+ to come help with them.
There are several places that are putting together fundraisers like color runs for Greenfield and there are some places that are changing where the money they get for events that were already previously planned to go into Greenfield instead of wherever it was gonna go before.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has rebloged/donated to the links above. It really, really means a lot to me that you all have been helping my little town out, even if all you can do is spread the word of how people can help. With everything going on, if you want to help, the best thing you can do is donate to the Greenfield Foundation link that I will post down here so you don't have to scroll all the way up to the top to get again. This link goes directly to the PayPal instead of to the website.
They have made a lot of progress towards getting the town cleaned up, but there is still a very, very long way to go. I would appreciate if you could continue to boost this post, that would be amazing.
Small Town Strong 🖤💜🩶
Hey all
My hometown got obliterated by a tornado. It's a super small town with a close-knit community. There's a lot of people who completely lost *everything*. They've banded together and are all helping out as much as they can, but the town is basically gone.
If you can donate, it would be very, very helpful. If you can't, please share this post so we can get them the help that they need.
Thanks so much in advance 💜🖤🩶

Gushing to share about soft princess hours with your domestic boyfriends? 🥺🤲🏻 BruRisDaisy hours hell yes - Laur
oh no, i feel it coming, the self indulgence train. woo wooo
They can immediately tell when I'm in princess mode, or soft dumb baby mode. I probably get up earlier than them and crawl out to the little chest of...toys...we have...And I bring out one of my collars. But its my comfort collar. It's pink and has a bow on it and has a heart padlock you need two keys for. I'm sitting there, struggling to put it on. Or I'm super clingy and quiet. When Bruno or Risotto catch me, they know what's up. I'm usually a crackhead duracell battery but now I'm quiet and fiddling with my collar...I am too stressed to the point where I was brought to subspace.
"Dolcezza, do you need help?" Risotto asks and he helps put it on with Bruno's and his key. He knows this is my comfort collar and I wanna be a dumb baby. So he picks me up and carries me back to bed with Bruno, letting my legs dangle and pressing my nose to his neck...I like how he smells, he smells warm and smokey and he's so big and warm.
"Oh, is my Principessa needy? Come to Signore." Bruno coos and he puts me in his lap, kissing at my cheeks but im shy and bury myself into his chest. "Are we shy today?" And I nod as he chuckles.
And they get to work. I'm just their little princess who wants attention. So Bruno spins me around so my back is against his chest and he kisses me, his hands going under my cute pjs and feeling me up and Risotto pulling down my pj bottoms to kiss at my thighs. Sooner or later he'll be eating me out and I'll squirm and whine.
I'm mostly inaudible, but I remember to say 'yes please' and 'thank you' and 'signore/padrone'. I'm their polite princess and they praise me for being such a good girl that they make me cum lots of times. Slowly and edging me, teasing me as I'm whining and clinging for more, trying to kiss them. But i'm too dumb <3. I like Bruno's tongue on my cunt and how he hums against it while he fingers me. I like Risotto's pierced tongue too, i'm too tiny and can only take one of his fingers. They kiss me all over and make me feel loved and extremely pent up. Making me cum over and over until I'm sensitive and I have hearts in my eyes like a hentai girl. But they need to give me a break, so I don't pass out immediately after their cocks. So Bruno pushes a cute heart-shaped plug in my ass and Risotto pushes in a vibrator he can control with a remote before continuing the day. Cleaning me up and having our lazy day.
I cuddle on top of Risotto while he watches TV, like a little koala. I ask if I'm too heavy and he assures me I'm not while putting one of his big hands on my head and patting me. Making me feel fuzzy bc I like getting scalp massages. Bruno makes breakfast and praises me for finishing, he loves his healthy Principessa. And he gives me my favorite iced coffee, my favorite sweet syrups in it too. I'm mostly inaudible for the day except a couple of times, responding politely. Bruno and Risotto love their polite little princess. I'd go to cuddle against Bruno's arm next and lay my head on his shoulder while he reads or knits. He sees me doing a bad anxious habit, chewing on the skin of my thumb. It looks completely wrecked and it's bleeding a little. So he calmly takes the hand with the wrecked thumb and holds it in his hand in silence before placing a kiss on my lips before going back to whatever he was doing. Maybe starting a movie now that he only has one hand.
Princess mode is when I'm really honest with my feeling I bottle up, so I become a bit of a crybaby. Blubbering and having fat tears rolling down my eyes as I babble that I'm tired and I don't wanna think. And I get shushed and kissed and coddle by them. Making me go :O
Bruno and Risotto look after my health conditions, making sure I take my medicines and my vitamins and make sure I'm eating healthy. Putting them on pretty pink plates I like...One of them is shaped like a cat :3
It's kinda quiet, but it's how we like it. I don't get overwhelmed and Bruno and Risotto are sort of quiet when its just us three.
Then it's time when it's night. Risotto couldn't help himself to teasing me with the remote of the vibrator a few times, making me squirmy and pulling onto the sleeve of his shirt. Probably pulling his hand down to my cunt and grinding on it. But he doesnt make me cum until tonight. Sandwiched gently between them and now my holes are stretched and prepped, I can take their cocks. Crying and babbling and drooling about how good I feel until we all cum.
and I get cleaned up and tucked in, in between them full of love <3

New advertising concept:
An edgy reboot of the Duracell Family, where they're still dolls; but they're in the real world. Essentially it boils down to them hunting down tired or 'unenergized' people. Maybe we follow the trails of a confused detective who keeps being placed on cases of bodies with hollowed out backs and a battery placed inside of the bloody hole.
Maybe call it 'Assault and Battery'
Okay. That is all.
Thank you...

Lucille, fully camouflaged and narrating from a safe distance: As you can see over there, two male Hippowdons are fighting over the female one, which have a darker color compared to their male counterpart while the young ones, also known as Hippopotas, are watching, taking in the experience for future fights.
Lucille: Mating seasons can be tough for these sandy behemoths, especially when- wait a second, did that one just… turn to look at my direction ??
*Hippowdon roars and starts charging at Lucille’s direction*
Lucille: OH SH- *calls her Noivern and fly away as fast as they can, narrating over the sound of the wind* JUST AS I SAID, MATING SEASONS WHEN BE TOUGH FOR THESE SANDY BEHEMOTHS, ESPECIALLY WHEN FOOD BECOMES SCARCE. I’M GONNA HAVE TO END THE DOCUMENTARY SOON BECAUSE I’M NOT STAYING THERE WHERE I COULD LOG OUT OF THIS WORLD THANKS TO A SAND HIPPO.
Lucille: *Narrowly dodging a Rock Tomb attack* IF YOU ENCOUNTER ONE IN THE WILD AND IT CHASES YOU, PRAY THAT IT LOSES INTEREST OR YOU HAVE A BROOM OR ANY POKEMON THAT CAN CARRY YOU UP IN THE AIR OR TELEPORT OUT OF THERE, BECAUSE THESE THINGS HAVE STAMINA LIKE A DURACELL.
Lucille: ALSO DON’T LOOK THEM IN THE EYES WHATSOEVER. IT WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE.
Casual Geographic has installed an ever-lasting fear of hippos into my soul alkjsdjlkjlajsk ☠️
Gotta love Luce doing this in the field.
It shows that even if you do all the preparations, it's best not to tempt Mother Nature, or in this case, Arceus, on the fact that those sand trucks on wheels can and will chomp down on you so hard that you become a tasty snack- and not the good kind.
Stamina like a Duracell ☠️☠️ I wonder about Pokemon brands for things like batteries, or maybe some people don't have those things because of Electric type Pokemon?
What would Luce's show be called to differentiate Soni's Casual Pokegraphic videos 🤔 I'm not great with names lakjsdjlkfl
