#they can visit whenever

He blinked slightly at the ease the portal seemed to open with, a small smile on Arlo’s face as he saw the familiar site on the other side.

Arlo: Now, focus on closing it, not just the regular closing it, but almost like your melding it shut.

Flynn lifted an eyebrow, but he did what he was told. The drain on his magic was completely different, and much rougher than what he had felt before, Arlo nodding at him as they noticed their look. 

Arlo: Good, now it's closed. If you open it here, closing will be easier, you can will the portal to open here, from anywhere. Flynn: How? Arlo: Focus on this shrine when you open the portal, the veil is thin here, so you will automatically get pulled to this spot. Flynn: Ok, thanks. Arlo just shrugged his shoulder, and headed back to his room, leaving them all standing there to say their goodbyes for now

Vy: We’ll check in soon, my little star. Fan: I’d like that.

They watched their family leave again, and at least for a little while, their loneliness seemed a little less than before.

Dc x Dp Prompt #6

“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.

“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.

“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.

“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.

“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”

“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.

“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”

I love how Japan has thousands of handy inventions for storage space, cleaning and house appliances for small apartments, and you can get them easily even from 100 yen shops.

In Finland, living in a small house is expected only from students as a temporary housing situation. Then, you are to find a spouse and move in together with them (the earlier the better). If you break up, you are to find another spouse and live together with them. You are also expected to buy a house as soon as possible. All storage systems are meant for family size houses with family income prices.

Because small housing is expected to be only temporary, I enviously watch all videos of storage tips from East-Asia, and try to replicate them the best way I can for my 25m²/269ft² apartment with what I can find here.

He laid at the brink of death once more, staring at the face of despair. He remembered the path that led him to this purgatory, and with a smile could only ask:

"Shall we be friends?"

NO EVERYONE WAIT

I am replaying totk, so I’m redoing the Regional Phenomenon quest. Let me just gush about how

Zelda is repeatedly called Riju’s close friend

Riju writes about how she has faith in Zelda and Link

She prays to Urbosa to watch over the Gerudo, Zelda, and Link

She does what she thinks Zelda would advise her to do

Of all the sages, Riju is the one Zelda and Link probably visited the most often because she is the only one who doesn’t comment on how long it’s been

(Buliara says ‘it’s been some time’ but this is also considering Zelda and Link went missing and it is canonically the region you’re guided towards last)

Riju is familiar enough with Zelda to not refer to her as ‘Princess Zelda’ but just as Zelda.

Zelda once inspired Riju when she spoke of her frustrations with their fighting style— she gave very blunt and vague instructions and then left Riju to figure it out

(Basically reminiscent of how Link shoved Daruk into the divine beast and basically said ‘you figure it out’ … why are they like this lol)

They are such dear friends that Riju immediately tells Link (essentially) ‘I will help you find her, by bringing a quick resolution to the sand shroud and monsters plaguing Gerudo’.

She is the only Sage who actively goes “oh I’m helping you, give me like a few to get my shit together and then we will find Zelda”. The rest go “ah I wish I could but I actually can’t rn :/”

I love Tulin bc that is my son, I raised him and am so proud of him… but Riju calling out to Zelda and canonically being close to her just makes me so emotional because Zelda found a friend and mentor in Urbosa and now Riju did the same with Zelda.

That is so damn significant.

people in the uk will understand this a bit better but why can i imagine jily living on a houseboat? like james uses some of his inheritance to buy him and lily a boat and they just get to travel around on the canal and watch the stars at night and lily paints the swans and the ducks and james gets the best tan of his life when its summer and he can lie on the roof, they both snuggle up amongst a mountain of blankets and pillows and make love to the sound of water gently lapping up the sides of the boat and the crickets outside and they're just travelling the country together in peace

I am returned! Crazy things happened on hiatus, and here is a play-by-play:

Spent the bulk of September with our dogs at my great-aunt's lake cottage (which is a 15-hr drive from here), due to the abundance of birthdays this month.

Shortly after arriving, I got a cold from my sister, which as per usual, turned into bronchitis, which lasted the entirety of the vacation (I still have the cough).

Around midnight on the eve of our departure, I had a gallbladder attack (first one since early spring).

Except it was way worse. Like, I couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, couldn't even cry.

Called 911, got in the ambulance, and the pain suddenly vanished in the space of a minute.

The wee mountain hospital didn't have imaging equipment beyond a CT scan and the Dr. was like "If the pain is gone, you shouldn't expose yourself to that much radiation" (which I appreciated)

My labs were normal, so we conclude this must've been the passing of the gallstone. Big, if true.

I take hydrocodone and we all go to sleep.

In the morning, my mom and sister pack my stuff for me and my parents and I drive the 15 hours back home so that dad can make it to a job interview the next day.

During the last 45 minutes of the journey, my mom's very very old & frail chihuahua experiences a sharp decline in his already poor constitution.

I'm knocked out on hydrocodone, but my dad is up all night with the dog, and in the morning, he takes him to the vet to be put down.

My mom is devastated, this dog was adopted to be her bedside companion during chemo twelve years ago.

My dad's interview goes well.

I still have bronchitis.

Two days later, my sister (who stayed longer at the lake house to clean up) drives back to her home in Southern GA, but for hurricane Helene reasons, the highway is closed and she gets lost.

She finally makes it home to find her power is out, for hurricane Helene reasons (it's still out)

Three days later (last night), I have another brutally painful attack (clearly I'd NOT passed the stone), so my parents drive me to the ER.

Am able to get an ultrasound there, which confirms I still have either many gallstones or one huge one, but my labs are still normal.

Unfortunately, this makes sense because I underwent some rapid drastic weight loss after my attack in the spring.

ER Dr. thinks my pain is instead being caused by gastritis for genetic reasons (which reminded my mom that as a teenager she passed out at work from gastritis).

He prescribes me a trio of gastritis drugs.

I'll be going to a trusted functional medicine doctor next month because my dad got the job (an amazingly good job, praise God) and we can afford it at last. My hope is that this Dr. can point to causes beyond genetics for the gastritis and also get rid of the stones once and for all, even if that means going on Ursodiol.

My dad's new job requires him to move to the Middle East in three weeks.

Oh, and my personal Instagram account (which was about to become the cornerstone of my small business) was inexplicably terminated during my hiatus and I have no means of getting it back besides writing to the state Attorney General.

can i ask what village/city you're originally from in Palestine? i gathered from your blog that you're currently residing in the US but out if curiosity where were you originally from? ofc you don't have to answer if this is too personal

i'm from nablus (and jerusalem)! my dad is from nablus and my mom is from jerusalem, but i have a west bank id so i've only visited jerusalem once with a rare permission from israel, but i was very young and didn't stay for long, so i unfortunately don't have a strong connection with jerusalem as much as i'd like to. i just say i'm from nablus, since that is where a lot of my family is from and usually where i stay for the most part whenever i'm there.
