Hello, since Valentine’s Day is coming up can you write a the thing 1982 Valentine’s Day fanfic with all the characters plz?

//HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YALL\\

Palmer walked around base with a box of those pastel candy hearts dumping some on everyone’s desk, Nauls was making everyone’s favorite meal, Clark was setting flowers up for everyone, Childs was setting out chocolates. MacReady was getting out the good, expensive liquor. The boys loved the holidays and Valentines Day was no exception.

Blair and Norris had decorated the base while Bennings, Fuchs and Cooper did extra chores and such so everyone could meet up again in the lounge room where they would all drink, play music (playlist made by Windows) and just have a great night eating candy and having a good time together.

“I wonder if we have any lovers in base.” MacReady asked once everyone was in the lounge eating. Bennings and Fuchs held up entwined hands and Norris and Cooper did the same.

“Oh, we’ll shit boys” MacReady hummed sipping his whiskey. He didn’t know a lot of the men were already dating.

“My woman’s at home still.” Childs chimes in, looking up from his plate of food.

“I don’t really need anyone yet. The dogs are enough.” Clark answers with a shrug.

“I’m not interested in no one yet either.” Nauls shrugs

“My wife is at home too. That leaves Windows and Palmer.” Blair’s points out. The whole table shifts to look at the two men. Palmer turns to Windows, grinning like a cat.

“We’ll, I know I like someone but he’s a pussy. How about you, Win-“ the stoner was cut off by Windows pulling him in by his shirt collar and planting a kiss on his lips.

“There we go, I guess.” Palmer breathed once Windows quickly broke the kiss and started chugging his drink.

How to Own Your Morning, It Girl Style 💋☕️

Alright, babes, let’s get real. Mornings are your time to set the tone, and if you want to crush it like the *it girl* you are, you need a routine that’s as fierce as you. Here’s how to wake up, show up, and slay:

1. Wake Up, But Make It Chic 🕶: No more obnoxious alarms. Wake up to your favorite throwback jam—something with serious vibes. We’re talking J.Lo or Britney, because you deserve to start the day like a total boss.

2. Hydration = Power 💦: Grab a glass of cold water the second you’re up. Hydrate like the queen you are. Bonus points if you add lemon. Keep it fresh, keep it fierce.

4. Coffee & Attitude ☕️: Coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a lifestyle. Brew it strong, make it bold, and sip it slow while you mentally plan your domination of the day. Remember, a red lip *and* a coffee cup = iconic.

5. Look Like the Moment 🖤💄: Lay out your look the night before, so you can step into the day like you own it. Think black boots, leather jacket, and those jeans that hug you in all the right places. You’re not just dressing—you’re making a statement.

6. Mood Setting 🎧: Plug in your earbuds and blast that playlist that makes you feel invincible. Whether it’s rock, pop, or something in between, it’s gotta have that ‘I’m unstoppable’ energy.

7. Makeup & Magic 💋: A flick of liner, a pop of red lipstick, and you’re ready to take on the world. Keep it simple, but make it striking. Remember, less is more, but always *look* like more.

8. Mindset of a Queen 💭: Take five to focus. Whether it’s journaling, affirmations, or just a moment in the mirror to remind yourself you’re *that girl*, start with some serious self-love.

9. Scent of a Legend 🌹: Finish with a spritz of your signature scent—something that leaves an impression long after you’ve walked away.

Own your mornings, babes. Because every day is a chance to be legendary. 💋✨

Being that girl once again- back to school!

It’s back to school season everyone, and my favourite times of the year. In this post im going to give you stuff to do for back to school + advice in specific areas of your school life! I hope everyone can take away something from this post <3 

THINGS TO DO BEFORE BACK TO SCHOOL <3

Revise your past term content in your core subjects, ensure there’s nothing you do not understand(it’s better to understand now than have to understand later)

Review what you are going to be learning for this current term in your core subject, you don’t have to study it, just familiarise yourself. 

Catch up with your friends- hang out, call or text before the new school term. My favourite thing is to create predictions of drama, couples etc in the upcoming term w my girlies!

Create SMART goals for you to achieve that term, in any aspect you want. I say; 1 goal for academics, 1 goal for social and 1 goal for extracurriculars/sports. 

Clean your room !! do a deep clean and declutter. E.g wipe down all surfaces, hover pillows, vacuum floor, clean mirrors, take out any clothes you dislike

Do an everything shower + face masks!!

ACADEMICALLY

Everyday afterschool, revise everything that you’ve learnt today + the things that you struggle on

Anytime you get homework, complete it as soon as possible. Most of the time, it’s easy and non time consuming. 

Create study guides for exams/tests while actually learning instead of when the assessments are actually coming up. It saves you a lot of time, which you can use for studying effectively.

If you don’t already, have a specific learning/studying style that works for you. E.g flashcards, blurting, mind map, spaced repetition, the feynman technique. (ofc you can have multiple). Just know the pros and cons of each studying technique. 

Or, what I do is that I assign specific studying techniques to different subjects e.g science - blurting, HASS - flashcards, maths - the feynman technique. This may be different to what you have the most success learning.

Have a place, time every day or at least most days, where you can study without distractions. I like to study at the library afterschool, it’s chill and literally void of any distractions.

The only advice in which i’ll say is not optional– do practise questions under the said test conditions. Stop using websites, listening to music, being on your phone etc. Get in the zone and transfer the environment. 

SOCIALLY

Make an effort to say hi or goodbye to some people, even if you do not know them that well. If you’re up for it, ask them how they are going or how their day has been.

Start remembering names and birthdays. This will literally make people like you so much more, it’s so simple but people swoon over this. Process names in your mind and write down birthdays in your calendar. 

Don’t be afraid to talk to others. Most people do not care if you talk to them, and some are glad that you talk to them. This is how people become well-known or well-liked. 

Watch videos on how to converse with people you do not know well effectively and become close with them. TED x has a lot of videos on this, and are usually helpful. 

Don’t try to fit in with the crowd. It’s so draining, and even if you think they do, they most likely dislike you(sorry!) . Instead, find/be with your people. 

Join a club/extracurricular. You meet so many like-minded people this way, while still developing your own skills. I say everyone should at least have one solid extracurricular. 

If you are in a talking stage, three weeks is enough time for him or you to decide if you’re willing to date them. It’s not the 1920s anymore, we have imessages, facetime, skype and others to communicate and get to know each other without contact

Call out your friends if you notice them doing something toxic or generally anything they shouldn’t do. E.g gossiping, getting mad at others, bullying someone. If they continue, it will influence you in the long run.

MENTALLY 

Reframe your mindset. I know most of us do not favour school, but do not dwell on negativity and find ways to be positive/neutral about your circumstances. You’ll feel so much better.

Detach. Detachment is literally essential in highschool, there’s so much drama and most likely you will somehow get tied up in it. Stop absorbing what happens and let it influence you, observe what happens and learn from it. I have a post on this here. 

Start saying affirmations everyday. I know affs are usually viewed as a manifestation thing, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be a simple one minute way to cultivate a neutral/positive perspective of yourself. 

Journal. Things will happen, so journaling is a great way to discuss your circumstances, feelings, trauma, relationships etc and develop a sense of identity at the same time. I have a post on this here. 

Meditate. It can be go-go-go constantly, but just take a break and gain some mental clarity and see how much better you feel decluttering your mind. 

Embrace a change and growth mindset, especially in an environment where we are constantly required to adapt. 

PHYSICALLY

Start stretching.. seriously. You sit at a desk for like 5 hours a day excluding lunch and recess, everyday, which is of course going to do a number on your body. It can relieve pain in many different areas.

Have at least 1 form of exercise you do everyday. I know being students, we have to sit at a desk constantly. But, do not give up on practising good exercise habits. Not only can it help with results, it’s good for you.

Get the recommended sleep of 6-8 hours per night, which is good quality sleep without disruptions. It helps with long term memory and you’ll feel better. 

Start packing healthy but tasty lunches to school instead of buying. You’ll save so much money in the long run, and it’s better for your body. 

BEAUTY 

Get your uniforms tailored just a bit. Not too noticeable, but enough that it fits better on your body. Especially for button formal shirts, as they make you look 10 times as bulky than what you actually are. 

Buy new jewellery, earrings, necklaces or whatever you’re allowed. Subtle but noticeable jewellery makes girls look so pretty.

Learn new hairstyles!! Don’t just wear the same hair everyday, mix it up, it’s fun and makes you look attractive. 

Get a good eyebrow gel + clear mascara. Legit life changer, I look so much better everyday because I look put together without make up.

apply  vaseline on areas you would apply highlight, but avoid your eye area. 

Have a good skincare regime!! Being a student is stressful, getting pimples is a sign of stress. 

Okay that's it. Happy back to school everyone! Here’s an affirmation for you <3

I am intelligent and capable. I am skilled and confident in my abilities. I am perceived well by others. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am looking for this term to be full of good grades, vibes, friends, growth and fun.

Hello, can you write a fanfic where the reader has a panic attack and all the characters from the thing 1982 comforts them plz?

YOU BET!

TW///Panic attacks\\TW

Your chest felt tight. Breaths came out in short strangled bursts. You could barely see past the tears in your eyes.

You’re not sure what triggered you but now you can’t seem to come down. You didn’t hear footsteps come into the leisure room.

“Woah!” Palmer exclaimed seeing you. He’s never seen you like this but he knows what this is. It’s a panic attack.

“Hey, hey, easy baby,” Nauls coos at you gentle wrapping an arm around you trembling form. MacReady was on your other side as the two of them led you to the couch. MacReady moved away as soon as he got you to the couch careful not to crowd you.

“Doc! Can you come here please!” Blaire called into the hall. Doc came in and Blaire filled him in on what was going on.

“Can you breathe with me? Let’s try in, 1…2…3…4…out 4…3…2…1” he says softly. He kept doing breathing exercises with you until you could take normal breaths on your own.

“I..I’m so…s-sorry boys” you stammer out feeling guilty that they all had to see this.

“It’s okay. It happens to some of us sometime too.” Bennings assures you

“Yeah, We all have our own issues. We won’t judge you for yours. You don’t have to do it alone.” Fuch offers.

Norris comes in with water and a snack for you.

“I’m case you’re like me and need a snack or something.” Norris offers, setting the tray down.

“I got weed if that would help.” Palmer chips in wanting to be helpful. You give a chuckle

“Maybe later, they may need a minute now.” Childs says patting Palmer on the back

Clark comes in with your favorite husky.

“They knew you needed help. They wouldn’t stop whining to come out and see you.” He says having the pup sit in front of you so you can pet them.

“You can have a day off if you need?” Gary offers.

“No sir, I’ll be okay I just needed a minute.” You assure him

Windows sets a pair of headphones on the counter in front of you beside the snacks.

“These help me when things are too loud to focus.” He says

The boys stayed helping to the best of their ability. Anything to make you feel better
