#this doesn't even cover your improved confidence & sense of self!!

[squadrah]

You've brought up a few times that Prosciuttos' stand has alternated Prosciuttos' taste buds has anyone else's stand had some kind of physical or maybe mental effect on them? Thank you take ur time and relax tis the holidays

Haha, thank you for your consideration! Where I live we don't celebrate any holidays at this time, but to everyone else I am wishing (very belatedly since this post will have to wait its turn in the queue) a very happy holiday! You are all lovely and deserve a celebration!

Risotto: Compared to the others, he first and foremost sees himself as a host or vessel to Metallica, and the idea of his Stand wreaking havoc within him has crossed his mind many times. Physically, I have seen fans attributing his eye condition to the Stand, which I like even if I have a different interpretation. To me the physical impact is that he has become slightly magnetic (strong fridge magnets will stick to him up close), and he pays way more attention to his iron intake than anyone else on the team.

Formaggio: Despite a slight inferiority complex at present, it used to be worse and his self-image actually improved a lot when he gained his Stand and went from some vagrant punk to a real trickster who can also slash your throat if nothing else gets through to you. Physically he feels no different, though some of the others sometimes take jabs at him saying Little Feet has probably been shrinking his brain, his balls, or both. If they suspected he had often entertained permanently shrinking them a little, they'd stop.

Prosciutto: His Stand has mostly damaged his palate, having been for a long time in his life without the ability to speak out, and restraining himself so often that his Stand sometimes activates automatically and dulls his nerves a little before he might flip a switch and unleash the fury of ten gods. Being a short sleeper, he already had a higher threshold of pain tolerance than most, but The Grateful Dead has actually made this worse without him being much aware of it himself, which is a huge hazard on missions.

Pesci: He had always been a very observant person, both by nature as well as the necessity of reading the room and knowing when he is in danger, and Beach Boy has only heightened these sense by giving him further information he is now able to sense. Like Formaggio, he thus received a confidence boost. Physically, his Stand has not affected him directly, but indirectly, since Pesci started exercising in earnest in order to build up the core strength required to wield his Stand and bear the weight of any victim(s).

Ghiaccio: Another person whose self-confidence was improved by gaining a Stand. On the physical side of things, I loved the anime's decision to show him emanating cold fumes when he was experiencing terror at the sight of Sorbet's body. They know when he is overcome by the sight of those fumes, and that it's time to either defuse him or take cover. He's also in the same boat as Pesci, but with greater willingness to exercise in general because it helps burn his stamina and calm his mind.

Melone: Though he cannot actually prove it, he is convinced that gaining a Stand improved his mental faculties from his memory to the time and effort it takes to theorize and calculate. He also gained a sense of safety because even when he's down, his Stand has energy enough to go and alert the others. Physically he doesn't feel different as a whole, but whenever Baby Face Laptop eats something it shouldn't have, he not only feels abdominal pain but can also very remotely taste whatever entered it.

Illuso: He is the one who was most *and* least improved mentally by the acquisition of a Stand. On the one hand, his wish of complete control over his own space was granted and it gives him a sense of power as well as smug self-assurance, but on the other hand, having the means to hide in order to assert his dominance has done nothing to help him address his many issues. Physically he has been improved as well as "confused" by the mirror world and can read text normal and mirrored, but mixes up the directions of his letters.

Sorbet and Gelato are non-users to my mind, so they are unaffected that way, but I'll include them because they do see Baby Face Laptop moving about and think it's interesting/funny, have seen White Album's armor, and have been subjected to literally every Stand effect out of curiosity and the willingness to understand. This is another one of those things that made the others think both of them batshit crazy indeed.

Finding Relief and Relaxation: My Experience with the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1

I've always been intrigued by acupressure and its potential benefits for pain relief and relaxation. So, when I stumbled upon the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1, I decided to give it a try. After using it for a few weeks now, I can confidently say it's been a game-changer for my well-being.

Relief from Aches and Pains:

One of the most noticeable effects I've experienced is a significant reduction in muscle tension and aches. As someone who sits at a desk for most of the day, I often suffer from neck and back pain. Lying on the acupressure mat for just 20 minutes each evening has made a world of difference. The tiny spikes target pressure points, promoting blood circulation and releasing built-up tension. The first few times I used it, there was a slight initial discomfort, but it quickly subsided, replaced by a deep sense of relaxation and relief.

Improved Sleep Quality:

Since using the Meridian acupressure set, I've noticed a significant improvement in my sleep quality. The relaxation I experience after using the mat seems to carry over into the night. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed and energized. The included pillow is also a welcome addition. It perfectly cradles my neck and head, providing additional support while I unwind.

Boosting Energy Levels:

Beyond pain relief and better sleep, I've also noticed an increase in my overall energy levels. The acupressure stimulation seems to invigorate me, leaving me feeling more alert and focused throughout the day. This is particularly helpful during those afternoon slumps when my energy dips. A short session on the mat provides a much-needed boost, allowing me to return to my tasks with renewed focus.

A User-Friendly Design:

The Meridian acupressure set is not only effective but also very user-friendly. The mat and pillow are lightweight and portable, making them easy to store and use anywhere. The cotton cover is soft and comfortable, and the spikes are firmly secured, ensuring a safe and effective experience. Additionally, the set comes with a handy carrying case, perfect for taking it with you on trips or to use at the office during your lunch break.

A Natural Approach to Wellness:

I appreciate the natural approach to pain relief and relaxation that the Meridian acupressure set offers. Unlike over-the-counter medications, it doesn't come with any unwanted side effects. It's a simple and effective way to take charge of my well-being and feel my best.

Overall, I highly recommend the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1 to anyone seeking natural pain relief, improved sleep, and a boost in energy levels. It's a well-made, user-friendly product that has become an essential part of my self-care routine.

Relief and Relaxation: My Experience with the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1

As someone who constantly battles with muscle tension and struggles to unwind after a long day, I was intrigued by the concept of acupressure mats. After much research, I decided to give the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1 a try. Here's my experience with this innovative product.

A Well-Designed Set for Overall Well-Being

The Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1 is a complete acupressure solution. The mat itself is covered in hundreds of small, non-toxic plastic spikes designed to target pressure points across your back, neck, and shoulders. The accompanying pillow follows the same design principle, providing targeted relief for your head and neck. Both the mat and pillow are well-made, with a comfortable and breathable fabric base. The spikes are firm but not overly sharp, ensuring a stimulating experience without causing discomfort.

Finding Relief from Muscle Tension

One of the most significant benefits I've experienced with the Meridian set is relief from muscle tension. After a long day at work, my shoulders and back often feel knotted and tight. Lying on the mat for just 20 minutes works wonders. The gentle pressure from the spikes helps to loosen up those tight muscles and promotes a sense of relaxation. I've also noticed a significant improvement in my neck pain, which I believe is due to the targeted pressure points on the pillow.

Improved Sleep and Reduced Stress

Beyond muscle relief, I've found that using the Meridian set before bed has significantly improved my sleep quality. The acupressure stimulation seems to promote relaxation and helps me unwind more readily. This translates into falling asleep faster and experiencing deeper, more restful sleep throughout the night. Additionally, the overall sense of well-being I get from using the set has helped me manage stress levels. The combination of muscle relaxation and improved sleep has made a noticeable difference in my overall mood and energy levels.

A Versatile Tool for Daily Wellness

The beauty of the Meridian set lies in its versatility. While I primarily use it for back and neck relief, the mat can be easily positioned to target other areas like your feet or calves. The pillow can also be used during the day while reading or watching television to provide ongoing acupressure benefits. The set is also lightweight and portable, making it easy to take with me when I travel, ensuring I can maintain my acupressure routine even when away from home.

A Small Investment for Big Benefits

While there's an initial investment involved in purchasing the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1, I believe it's a worthwhile one. The set is well-made and feels like a quality product that will last for years. Considering the positive impact it's had on my sleep, stress levels, and overall well-being, I view it as a valuable investment in my health.

Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1. It's a well-designed, versatile tool that has become an essential part of my daily routine. If you're looking for a natural way to relieve muscle tension, improve your sleep, and manage stress, I highly recommend giving the Meridian set a try.

So, when I came across the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1, I decided to give it a try. After using it for a few weeks now, I can confidently say it's become an essential part of my self-care routine.

A Soothing Experience for Tense Muscles

The first time I used the acupressure mat, I wasn't sure what to expect. The mat itself is covered in hundreds of small, firm plastic spikes, which might sound intimidating. However, once I lay down and positioned myself carefully, the feeling was surprisingly pleasant. The spikes applied gentle pressure to various pressure points on my back, promoting a sense of deep relaxation in my muscles.

I found it particularly helpful for relieving tension in my upper back and shoulders, areas that often get knotted up after a long day at the desk. The acupressure helped to release the tightness and improve my posture.

Improved Sleep and Reduced Stress

One of the most noticeable benefits I've experienced is a significant improvement in my sleep quality. Before using the acupressure set, I often struggled to fall asleep due to stress and muscle tension. However, using the mat and pillow for 20-30 minutes before bed has become a calming ritual. The acupressure seems to ease my mind and body, allowing me to drift off to sleep faster and sleep more soundly throughout the night.

As a result, I wake up feeling more refreshed and energized. Additionally, I've noticed a reduction in my overall stress levels. The gentle pressure from the spikes seems to have a calming effect, helping me to manage daily anxieties and feel more centered.

User-Friendly Design and Easy to Maintain

The Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1 is well-designed and user-friendly. The mat is large enough to comfortably accommodate my entire back, and the pillow is perfectly sized to support my neck and head. Both the mat and pillow are made with high-quality materials that feel durable and easy to clean. The cover is removable and machine washable, making it convenient to maintain good hygiene.

The set is also very portable. The mat can be easily folded up for storage, and the pillow is lightweight and compact. This makes it ideal for travel or using at the office during my lunch break for a quick relaxation session.

A Natural Approach to Well-being

Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1. It's a fantastic tool for anyone looking to improve their muscle tension, reduce stress, and achieve better sleep. The natural, drug-free approach to well-being is something I truly appreciate.

If you're looking for a way to enhance your self-care routine and promote relaxation, I highly recommend giving the Meridian Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set V.1 a try. You might be surprised by the positive impact it can have on your overall well-being.refresh Regenerate drafts volume_up

Parramatta Smile Makeovers: The Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry For Boosting Self-Esteem

Your smile is an effective weapon. It can make a lasting impression because it's frequently the first thing that people notice about you. But what if your grin doesn't make you feel confident? This is where cosmetic dentistry in Parramatta plays a transformative role, offering smile makeovers that go beyond aesthetics to boost confidence and change lives.

The Importance of Confidence

One essential component of our general well-being is confidence. It influences our self-perception, how we relate to other people, and even our level of success in different spheres of life. Your confidence may suffer if you're self-conscious about your smile. You may discover that you conceal your mouth when you laugh or steer clear of circumstances when you have to smile in public.

This lack of confidence can have far-reaching effects on your life, both personally and professionally. Studies have shown that people with confident smiles are often perceived as more attractive, approachable, and successful. They tend to exude positivity, which can lead to better opportunities and relationships.

Smile Makeovers: Beyond Aesthetics

Cosmetic dentistry in Parramatta offers a range of treatments and procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of your smile. These include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, and more. While these treatments undoubtedly improve the aesthetics of your smile, their impact goes deeper.

1. Whiter Teeth, Brighter Smile: 

Teeth whitening can significantly boost your smile's aesthetics by removing stains and discolouration. This simple procedure can make you feel more youthful and vibrant, translating into greater confidence.

2. Porcelain Veneers for Flawless Smiles: 

Veneers are custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They can correct various dental imperfections, from chips and gaps to misaligned teeth. With veneers, you can achieve a flawless smile that you're proud to show off.

3. Dental Implants for Missing Teeth: 

Missing teeth can be a source of embarrassment and insecurity. Dental implants not only restore your smile's appearance but also provide functional benefits. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence as if you never lost a tooth.

4. Smile Alignment with Orthodontics: 

Crooked or misaligned teeth can be a confidence-damaging issue. Orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and traditional braces can straighten your teeth, resulting in a more harmonious and confident smile.

The Confidence Boost

When you undergo a smile makeover in Parramatta, it's not just about the physical transformation. It's about the emotional and psychological changes that come with it. As you see your smile improve, you'll likely experience a newfound sense of self-assuredness.

Imagine the freedom of smiling without hesitation, laughing without covering your mouth, and speaking with confidence. A smile makeover can make this a reality. It can positively impact your personal and professional life, opening doors and opportunities you might have previously shied away from.

Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentistry

To embark on your smile makeover journey, it's crucial to choose the right cosmetic dentistry. Look for a practitioner with a proven track record, a commitment to using the latest technology and techniques, and a genuine passion for transforming smiles and boosting confidence.

Parramatta's cosmetic dentistry services have a profound role in enhancing confidence. Beyond just improving aesthetics, smile makeovers can change lives by empowering individuals to embrace their smiles and radiate confidence in every aspect of their lives. Don't let smile insecurities hold you back; explore the possibilities of cosmetic dentistry and embark on your journey to a more confident, radiant you. Your smile is your superpower – it's time to unleash it!

Maximizing Mobility: An In-Depth Guide to Standing Electric Wheelchairs

 Understanding Standing Electric Wheelchairs

A standing electric wheelchair, often referred to as a standing powered wheelchair, offers a unique blend of independence and mobility to its users. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, these innovative devices allow users to move from a seated to a standing position with ease.

The mechanics behind these devices are fairly straightforward. The user simply pushes a button, and the chair slowly and safely transitions from a seated to a standing position. This provides users with an increased level of independence and a greater sense of freedom, as they no longer have to rely on others for simple tasks such as reaching high shelves or standing up.

Beyond the physical benefits, standing electric wheelchairs can also have a profound impact on a user's emotional well-being. By enabling greater mobility and independence, these devices can boost confidence and self-esteem, leading to an overall improved quality of life.

The Importance of Mobility: Benefits of Standing Electric Wheelchairs

Mobility is an essential aspect of our lives that many of us take for granted. However, for individuals living with limited mobility, tools like standing electric wheelchairs can make a substantial difference. The benefits of these devices extend beyond simple movement - they can significantly improve a user's health, independence, and overall quality of life.

One of the most significant benefits of standing electric wheelchairs is their potential to improve physical health. Regular standing can aid in circulation, reduce the risk of pressure sores, and even enhance respiratory function. Additionally, standing can support bone density and improve digestion, making standing electric wheelchairs an essential tool for maintaining health and wellness.

Moreover, standing electric wheelchairs can provide a range of psychological benefits. They open up a world of independence, allowing users to perform tasks that might otherwise require assistance. This newfound independence can lead to increased self-confidence and improved mental health, making these devices a valuable asset for anyone living with limited mobility.

How to Choose the Right Standing Electric Wheelchair

Choosing the right standing electric wheelchair may seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. By considering key factors such as comfort, functionality, and budget, you can find a device that perfectly suits your needs.

Comfort should be a top priority when choosing a standing electric wheelchair. Look for models with adjustable seats, headrests, and footrests to ensure the chair can be customized to your specific needs. Additionally, consider the padding and material of the chair - you'll be spending a lot of time in it, so it's important to find one that's comfortable.

Functionality is another crucial factor. Consider how easy the chair is to operate and whether it offers all the features you need. For instance, some chairs offer additional features like tilt-in-space or recline functionality, which can enhance comfort and ease of use.

Finally, budget is an unavoidable consideration. While it's essential to find a chair that meets your needs, it's equally important to find one that fits within your budget. Keep in mind that many insurance companies may cover a portion of the cost, so be sure to explore all your options before making a decision.

Tips for Maximizing Mobility with a Standing Electric Wheelchair

Once you've chosen the perfect standing electric wheelchair, it's time to learn how to make the most of it. By following a few simple tips, you can maximize your mobility and independence.

First and foremost, it's important to maintain your chair properly. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your device and ensure it continues to function optimally. This includes cleaning the chair regularly, checking for wear and tear, and scheduling professional maintenance as necessary.

Next, don't be afraid to make use of all the features your chair offers. If your chair has tilt-in-space functionality, use it to enhance comfort and ease pressure. If it has a recline feature, use it to relax and relieve stress. By fully utilizing these features, you can maximize your comfort and mobility.

Finally, remember that practice makes perfect. It may take some time to get used to your new chair, but with patience and perseverance, you'll soon be navigating your world with ease.

Conclusion: Embracing Mobility with Standing Electric Wheelchairs

In conclusion, a standing electric wheelchair can be a life-changing tool for individuals living with limited mobility. By providing a unique blend of comfort, functionality, and independence, these devices can significantly enhance quality of life.

Choosing the right standing electric wheelchair requires consideration of comfort, functionality, and budget. Once the perfect chair has been chosen, proper maintenance and full utilization of features can help maximize mobility and independence.

Flexibility: Ensure the tutor can work around your child's schedule and adapt their teaching methods to your child's learning style.

Good Communication: Effective communication between the tutor, the student, and parents is vital for success.

Benefits of High School Tutoring

High school tutoring offers several benefits:

Improved Grades: With personalised attention, students are more likely to grasp difficult concepts and see an improvement in their grades.

Tutors often emphasise the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and a growth mindset. These qualities are not only valuable for academic success but also for personal and professional development.

Encourage your child to approach their studies with a positive mindset. Acknowledge their efforts, even if they don't achieve immediate success. Remember that learning is a journey, and setbacks are part of the process. With the right support and perseverance, your child can overcome challenges and excel academically.

ik you’re not a guidance counsellor, but i saw the middle school ask and like.. i’m in high school, and it is Not the best time 😭😭 a lot of my teachers say this is the best or freest time of our lives, which is… not encouraging lmao. in your experience, does life get better after high school?

okay, so the other day when i was at my mom's house for the holidays, my little brother (currently 17) asked me what i missed most about my childhood. and let me tell you--i really really had to sit there & think about it before finally settling on "not having to cook for myself every single time i wanted something to eat was pretty great"

and it's not that i had a terrible childhood or anything. i just think that, on the whole, being a kid, and especially being a teenager, is so much harder than being an adult. anyone who says high school is the best time of your life is either lying to you or has an adult life far more miserable than i wish to contemplate

for one thing, you have such little freedom & control over you life as a kid/teen. as an adult, you go where you want when you want to do what you want. obviously there are consequences to this, but they're generally what i think of as genuine consequences (such as "i stayed up until 4 am on the night before work & now i feel like complete shit") versus constructed consequences of childhood ("i stayed up until 4 am on a school night & now my mom is mad at me"). as an adult, you much more frequently experience logical & direct consequences for your actions, like "i didn't buy groceries in favor of sitting around & playing video games & now i don't have any food." instead of some version of "i didn't do [x thing] and now [y authority figure] is angry with me." i truly cannot emphasize how good this feels

second, and i don't mean this in a harsh or condescending way, your brain is in a stage of development in middle & high school that is borderline torture. your emotions are so heightened & things feel catastrophic all the time & you absolutely hate yourself & you haven't yet had the time & experience to develop the coping skills to deal with these sorts of big feelings. and all your peers are at the same stage of development, meaning your interpersonal relationships are often, to put it mildly, a shit show. as an adult, i'm so much better equipped to handle sadness, anger, frustration, anxiety, and other negative emotions that it's almost unreal

now, some of these improvements just happen as your brain finishes developing, which is awesome, but some of them you do need to practice & develop. if you didn't have healthy coping skills modeled or taught to you as a kid, you have to learn them yourself. same with interpersonal relationships & conflict resolution strategies. figuring this stuff out is messy & challenging & sometimes feels impossible, but between therapy, social support, and your own commitment to change, you really can become the person & develop the life you want to be or have. maybe that sounds cheesy, but it's true. and even all that hard work to improve is never in a million years going to suck more than high school

PARTY FAVOURS | CHAPTER 19

First time reader click here

Summary+TWs: We're talking serious feelings here, okay? Reader, you're literally emotionally illiterate. You also have PTSD, which is finally addressed - kinda. Bruce does his best. And he also knows how to kiss... But y'all know that if you read my ramblings about lucid dreaming/shifting/whatever... Chile-, anyways...

My phone kept buzzing and I ignored it until Bruce declared it was time to take a break and review the results. Whilst the man was typing up the data on a nearby StarkPad, I fought the sudden influx of messages that I received from haters and supporters alike after Tony decided on tweeting a reply that could be interpreted in an alarming variety of ways. It was a smart move, I'll admit, but a fucking bother for me nonetheless.

Disabling my DMs and dealing with a follower increase in the thousands wasn't hard; I didn't consider myself a problematic asshole and didn't need to be afraid of "exposure". The parties I went to - I doubted there was any blackmail material in there and the few nudes I'd sent over the years were always face-less. As a gen Z, I knew my internet safety.

The trolls didn't bother me either. It was more sad than annoying, people shitting on others for clout. Iron Man stans were witty, at least, if jealous. I must admit I've never considered the influx of popularity I would experience should I publicly out myself as a friend of Tony's. Girlfriend? Intern? Science child? Whatever cover story he was going to feed the press worked for me, as long as I still got the hugs, the kisses, the dick and the attention.

"Tony..." Bruce groaned, evidently done with the data processing, had to have opened his social media to see his own skyrocketing popularity.

"Yeah, our Tony is being a Tony again," I chuckled, having reset my social media settings so my phone wouldn't constantly beep, vibrate and bother me. School was going to be fun.

Bruce shook his head, fond, coming over to my side of the lab after removing his own hazmat suit. His eyes shiny with newfound knowledge and hair turned adorably fluffy in the confines of the head covering. He was smiling softly. "Food?"

"Sure."

We chewed our sandwiches in silence for a moment, each of us lost in our thoughts.

"I still can't believe Tony told everyone on Twitter you're his girlfriend, usually he keeps this stuff private or schedules a fancy press conference," Bruce's tone was thoughtful.

I raised an eyebrow. "Is that what it was? Seemed ambiguous to me..." I trailed off, confused.

"He worded it like that on purpose, I mean, you're still in high school," The scientist was confident in his words. "But I know Tony. I'm a hundred percent sure that he meant exactly that. Aren't you?"

Shock flooded me. Suddenly, I understood I completely misread the situation. "Um, no? I thought we were, y'know, just fucking. We never defined our relationship and we're definitely not exclusive." I said, chewing on my lip. "You make a valid argument, I'm a high school student and he's a grown ass man that does grown man stuff. Putting aside the fact that he could have anybody in the world so why would he choose me?" I was rambling, thinking out loud. Discussing my feelings has never my strong forte. "It would be stupid to impose monogamy on such a complex man like Tony. Downright idiotic to expect a genius to confine to social norms just because it suits others." I finished with a wave of my hand. Another bubble of thought that had festered within me for the longest time. I felt relieved, finally voicing it out loud. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders, a weight I wasn't previously consciously aware of.

Bruce was watching me intently, with an unreadable expression that held the tiniest bit of awe, admiration perhaps. The silence that followed was unnerving. I fidgeted with my hands, not really knowing where to put them or where to look.

"You know," He took off his glasses, fiddling them in his hands. "I'm not going to sugar coat it. For the longest time, I thought you were going to inadvertently hurt him when you get bored with whatever you've got going on. I respect you, don't misunderstand me, but you are young. Now, I've changed my mind. You've changed my mind," He punctuated his statement with his hand on mine, grasping it. "I think you managed to understand him in a way most people can't. Or don't want to. Understand and accept him in a way that some of us can't even after years of working and living side by side with him." Bruce's gentle fingers skimmed along the top of my palm.

"I don't always understand Tony but I do accept him," I agreed. "Because Tony is a great man."

"I think you're in love with him," Bruce said, absolutely having ignored my previous statement. Just like that, point blank, he pushed to the surface the very feelings I got so good at ignoring. There was no rest for me in this place.

My heart fluttered, picking up the pace. I kept my mouth shut, not trusting it whatsoever. My thoughts became akin to panicked hares, jumping and zigzagging aimlessly in my skull. I didn't see the point in defending myself because the scientist had pointed out the obvious.

Bruce looked at me, softly, warmly. "And don't think we haven't noticed the rise in team morale. The improvement not only in communication, but on the battlefield, too. It's easier to entrust your back to someone with whom you've shared a laugh and a drink the previous night. You're the glue that keeps us together."

Something warm and wet was on my cheeks. I stared at our clasped hands, his words echoing in my head over and over and over. The moment I realized I was crying, I willed myself to stop and failed spectacularly - only more salty fluid streamed down, some of it getting in my nose, on my lips. The sleepless nights were making me unstable.

It took a single sniffle for Bruce to pick me up and wrap up in his kind embrace. I didn't resist, tucking my face into the crook of his neck, holding onto the back of his lab coat, inhaling the smell of his skin and chemicals. It was familiar, calming. Minutes ticked by with me slowly leaking the tension out of my body.

"He loves you, too, maybe he just doesn't realize it yet." Bruce whispered into my hair. "I've never seen Tony so happy, even with Pepper. You are special and you are loved."

There was something unsaid, I felt it. It hung in the ear, it burned the tips of my ears, stood sharp on the tip of my tongue. "I love you too, Bwucie-bear," I whispered into the space between his ear and his jaw. His arms tightened around me.

The man placed several chaste kisses in my hair, running a palm over my back. In moments like these, the crush for him, the very crush that got out of control, blossomed fully into a deep sense of respect and admiration. He made me feel safe. He said all the right words at the right time.

Drowsiness overtook me. As usual, any worries and anxieties I had evaporated, once Banner had his arms around me, shielding me from the world. I didn't forbid myself this time: delicately, my hand slipped through the man's soft messy curls, eliciting a contented sigh.

"You haven't been sleeping well," He more stated than asked.

I had no choice but to nod. "Clint keeps dying in my dreams. Or even worse, he doesn't, he just suffers, endlessly, painfully." I admitted.

Bruce flinched under me, tensing. My face was in between his hands in a second, the scientist sternly looking into my eyes. "Why didn't you say anything? All of us assumed you were okay after what happened." He looked - angry. Not Hulk-out pissed but Bruce-pissed, which equalled a kicked-puppy look seasoned with a great pinch of disappointment.

"I am okay." I lied, shamelessly. "It's getting better. That's why I want to have a party - relax a little, dance, socialize. I don't think Tony would let me go on my own so I figured I can convince him to throw one here." I looked away. It was better for everyone if I dealt with my own problems - they were superheroes, not babysitters.

Bruce frowned. "Why wouldn't Tony let you go?"

"Because of that one time I snorted coke," I rolled my eyes at Bruce's naiveté, leaving the less obvious parts unsaid. Tony knew exactly what I was going to do once I got free reign, he considered it destructive and told me so himself. Admittedly, he had a point but still... I wished I'd been given a choice.

"I'll talk to him," Bruce nodded firmly. "That's not acceptable. He can't forbid you from making mistakes and learning from them."

He was met with my shrug. No excitement came from me regarding this particular turn of conversation. I was drained, limbs like jello, thoughts sluggish. My face was drooping.

"Let's get you to bed," Banner stood up with me wrapped around him. "You need a nap."

"No," I protested. If I went to sleep now, only Satan knew at what ungodly hour I would wake up.

"Yes, Princess," Bruce smirked. I wiggled uncomfortably - when he went all caretaker like, my ovaries wreaked havoc on my body and brain. My thoughts weren't appropriate if Bruce wanted me to see him as a father figure. The signals he was sending were mixed. People around me did that a lot and I wasn't sure how to act so I usually just went with the flow. I decided to do the very same thing in that particular moment.

Curiosity sparked within me, tightly interwoven with the deep longing that settled below my collarbones whenever Tony or one of the others wasn't sitting next to me or talking my ear off. I've almost forgotten how it was to be alone with my thoughts. The maze of my very own self was becoming unfamiliar territory. Alarming.

I allowed Bruce to help me shed my shoes and outer layer of clothing, shivering in the coolness of my room. Despite being a frequent visitor, I still had a 'guest' room in the tower - I mostly stayed at Tony's or Wanda's anyways. During our sleepovers neither me nor the witch minded sharing her enormous bed, to be fair, we could have fit at least two more people in it besides us. Tony took care of his own - all the tower's residents had their apartments furnished with the best stuff.

"Sleep now, Princess," Bruce chastised, tucking a blanket around me, having noticed an earbud in my ear and my smartphone in my hand. I had hoped to kill some time online, damn well knowing sleep wouldn't come easy.

"I don't think I can fall asleep, Bruce," I admitted, looking away. There was just so much going on. My brain wouldn't shut up and if I couldn't drown out the cacophony by being productive, I'd troll the internet, as usual.

Banner sighed, coming to sit next to me, leaning against the headboard. Gently running his fingers through my hair, brushing the outside of his palm against my cheek. "How do you usually deal with this?"

Involuntarily, my eyelashes fluttered. "Tony does most of the work," I admitted coyly. The engineer had a whole arsenal of tricks up his sleeve - sexy and exhausting tricks.

"I see," Bruce muttered, thoughtfully.

I opened my eyes to see him looking down at me with a look I haven't seen before. The usual mildly absent, slightly anxious face he wore was replaced by something I could only describe as hurt envy, like a kid looking at their schoolmate who had all the newest, coolest toys. I used to be on the receiving end of that look far too often and I hated it.

I hid my face against his leg, rubbing my cheek on the raspy corduroy fabric of his pants. "Got any good ideas of your own?" I wondered lowly, thinking about what in the world possessed Bruce to wear corduroy trousers on a semi-casual day, in the twenty-first century.

"Only bad ideas," He replied in a matching low tone. His soft fingertips relocated to my nape, goosebumps rising down my back.

"Humour me," I grinned against his leg.

Bruce was quiet for a moment, the sound of his thinking screaming louder than any words could have done. Knowing the scientist so closely, I found out he was full of surprises - bolder than he appeared outwardly and competitive to a boot. He thought he had a lot to prove to himself and by extension, to others. The unknown, the mystery dangling in front of my nose was exhilarating, trepidation addictive. It took me away from the chaos in my mind.

A gentle grasp on my chin had me turning to look upwards, Bruce's face flushed and focused on my own, open and trusting. He needed to see the obvious, that I trusted him to take care of me. He pulled and I followed, sitting up on my elbows, coming up to his shoulder level, our faces inches apart, enveloped in the unique, intense scent of his herbal tea. It was a tart, strong smell and it suited his quiet but passionate character.

Once, twice, I caught my eyes sliding to his plump lips. They looked far too appealing in this position. I usually strategically stayed away from positions so compromising, fearing the very thing that I'd already let happen, however this time the atmosphere was different. We stood on ambiguous grounds, waiting for Bruce to make a decision.

The man wasn't stupid, he saw the way I looked at him. The nightmares and inability to take a break from life put a significant dent in my resolve to keep a distance between us, romantically - I could have settled even for a pity kiss, a pity fuck. Anything to put my brain on pause.

His lips were softer than I had imagined. Skilled, too, he easily steered the kiss into the shallow waters of our combined longing.

With Tony, it was like an avalanche. Tony ran hot like Peterbilt engines, hard and fast, almost angry in his race for satisfaction. Tony was a man that was used to getting whatever he wanted and it became plainly obvious when we fucked.

Bruce was the opposite. He savoured the kiss, losing himself in a way that could almost be described as delicate. Bruce was humming, softly, as we tasted each other, holding the left side of my face with careful fingertips. Almost as if he was afraid to break me. The feel of his skin on mine was soothing in a way that made me sigh and relax even further.

"Wanna make you feel good." His voice had dropped, gone husky, but his breathing held even. He must know all about self-control.

"Yeah," I was ready to agree with whatever the fuck he was offering. My eyelids remained shut.

How does one get comfortable with their classpect? I spent a year researching and exploring myself and assigning myself titles that would last at most a week, then I thought I finally found it and felt right with it for a whole month. But now it doesn't feel comfortable to identify as that anymore and I'm back to obsessively thinking about who the true me really is

As someone who did the same thing, I’d encourage you to look more closely at the Heart Classpects (or maybe the Knight/Rogue/Page Classes specifically, of any Aspect). It can be significantly harder for some Heart Players to figure out their Classpect simply because - as much as the Aspect is based around the Self - we tend to have different layers of personalities and presentations for different people. It can also just be a lot harder to be confident that we’ve figured out who we are, because we have such a significance on the Self as a whole, moreso than any other Aspect. 

For the Classes I mentioned, those are some of the more... Self-flimsy ones. They come with a lot of doubt and confusion that can make figuring out if you’re right incredibly hard. With your obsession, though, it definitely seems more Heart-y, to me.

That aside, if you’re pretty sure it’s not any of that, the best way to get comfortable with your Classpect is excessive reading and reflection - but all side by side. Take the Classpects that you’ve previously assigned yourself, look at them all together, and pick apart why you chose them. Why they called out to you. What parts of your Self did they cover - did they only cover the parts you WANT to acknowledge, or do they also cover the parts of yourself you’re not so confident or happy about? Do they encourage your growth? Are you just picking ones, even subconsciously, that have a running theme that might explain why they don’t fit?

That’s always a good step one with this. If you’re jumping back and forth a lot, figure out WHY you’re jumping back and forth. That might uncover something you didn’t initially see, or might help cement that the most recent one is the right one. Sometimes you just need that affirmation to help!

Step two would be trying to figure out why it doesn’t feel comfortable anymore. What drew you to it to begin with? Why did it fit before, and what stopped it from fitting now? There’s always the potential that this IS the right Classpect for you, but you’re being challenged in a way you don’t know how to overcome yet - you really need to look at that feeling of discomfort and try to place it. If you’re aware you’re being challenged, try meeting the challenge; does the Classpect fit better now, or does it still feel wrong? 

Sometimes your intiution is also just... impeccable when it comes to this stuff. If you’ve never felt right with a Classpect, and yet this one lasted longer than the others, maybe look into what this Classpect was. Maybe the Class was different, or the Aspect, and that’s what you vibed with - but the other half of the Classpect was just a little off.

Also just consider that in some cases Classpects can be really hard to adhere to. It can be really worrying to think that you’ve condensed all of your Self into this one title, and you can always self doubt yourself into thinking that you’ve picked the wrong one, or that it doesn’t account for who you are. Go back, read through posts relating to it, and see if that eases your thoughts - maybe you just need a reminder for why you picked it in the first place to feel comfortable again.

Though this in and of itself can also suggest that you need to account this frantic change and discomfort into your quest for analysis!

Basically, if you’re not comfortable with your Classpect, there’s probably a reason for it. Before anything else, you need to look into why and understand the reasons behind the discomfort. Only then can you truly feel comfortable with your Classpect - because in a lot of ways, finding it should fit like a glove, and a sense of fulfilment should follow when you’ve got the right one. 

Not to self-promote, but maybe looking into the concept of the True/Realised/Failed theory I have on this blog. If this most recent Classpect felt like it was fitting but is now making you feel uncomfortable, it might just be that you’ve slipped from a Realised path (or were never on it to begin with). Check to see where you think you are within it - True, Realised, or Failed - and what sort of growth you’re meant to be going down, how you’re likely to improve.

iKON astro notes: Kim Hanbin ✒️

Bonjour! and welcome to a new series of astro notes, this time covering the members of iKON. As always, all assumptions are based on their personal placements and personalities without knowing exact birth times. First, let's take a look at B.I, the leader, rapper and composer of the group🎼

Sun in Libra

Unless you are unfamiliar with iKON and/or B.I, you could definitely point out that, one way or another, Hanbin is very likeable and charming. Any type of person can and probably will naturally and unintentionally fall for him, even if they just met. Such is the Libra gift, brought to them by Venus itself. Venus brings irresistible charm and beauty to to the signs it rules (Taurus and Libra), therefore anyone can find themselves trapped in the moment as the magic of Libra takes their breath away, especially considering the fact that this is an air sign. Air is known for being alluring in a breezy and light-hearted sense, making it's way into your life through the help of intellect. The addition of Venus to Hanbin's air is an even bigger magnet that pulls people in without them even realizing it.

The element of air gives a wide understanding of the world, concepts and ideas, since the mind is the most active and receptive part. Air natives are creative and highly adaptable, because just like air, they can mold themselves into any shape or form, they change in order to fit in or, on the contrary, stand out. In addition, being so observant of the world and people around them, Libra natives are exceptionally good at putting up a facade, acting and playing make-believe in order to get what they truly desire. As you can see, such techniques can be used with various intentions, both good and bad, but ultimately, the goal is to bring harmony and peace to the environment a Libra is in. And if harmony means being right and having the upper hand, well, a Libra will not hesitate to take action to suit themselves. After all, we're talking about a cardinal sign and as much as Libra is known for it's indecisiveness, they know what they truly want.

The Libra energy within Hanbin (his sun and mercury) contributes to his remarkable leadership skills, for as much as he is demanding, detailed and strict, he is also diplomatic, communicative, responsible and a fighter for justice.

take a look at any episode of their survival shows "win: who is next" or "mix & match" to truly understand what I mean. Hanbin always strives for perfection and ultimate dedication from his team, to use their abilities to the max and develop them with every practice session. he accepted no slacking and because he strived for a stunning visual experience of their performances, he put immense effort into leading his team to the top (along with writing/composing their tracks). of course, that required him to play good cop/bad cop and push the members (and himself) to their limits. cardinal energy at it's peak

Libra being a social and partnership-oriented sign, it takes action through relationships and interaction with others, which also explains the heavy influence he had on his team

as much as Libras may be airheads, they are very clever. they constantly analyse and evaluate their relationships and environment, wishing to improve themselves and their surroundings for others

imbalance and unfairness is a no-no⚡

Moon in Pisces

Ah, the soul of a true poet, the spirit of an artist, such is the essence of Hanbin's inner self and it is obviously reflected in his field of work.

Hanbin's quiet, shy and somewhat awkward side is granted by his moon. It may be quite challenging for him to speak about his actual emotions and whatever ups and downs he is experiencing, since it's difficult to understand them all in the first place.

While he is very much concerned about others' emotional well-being and is trying his best to help, reassure and console those who are in need of it, when it comes to his own feelings... It can get really complicated and foggy.

The notable Neptunian influence is bound to hide and confuse whatever it touches and in Hanbin's case, his moon gets overshadowed and is left unable to fully reveal itself. He most likely goes through periods of self-reflection (his Libra energy craving that as well), isolating himself for even just a little bit in order to clear his mind, to detect the roots of his problems and, hopefully, find a solution or at least some inner peace. Whatever it is, understanding himself definitely does not come easy. It's a whole journey that takes him to pretty deep and unclear waters, as Pisces is notoriously complex and multi-facetted. Hanbin's feelings are not just this or that, they are everything at once and go through pretty intense changes on a daily, which is a lot to process. Thus, self-expression in a more emotional sense is not his forte. Yet, that explains why writing down what he feels (music) can be an easier way of opening up to the world.

Accepting failure is most certainly harder for him, since Pisces is a very sensitive sign. In his position, it is important to find the strength to move on, which he does, yet emotional pressure hits him hard and disappointing others is his worst nightmare. In a sense, it can make him feel fragile and helpless, push him into a dark place where he swims for some time, almost drowning, almost surrendering. Melancholy is close to Pisces, as well as getting lost in their own heads, endlessly dreaming, wishing and thinking.

Hanbin has mentioned that he's not especially experienced in the field of love. yet, he has written many songs specifically associated with that. obviously, he draws inspiration from fiction and certain life situations, yet I cannot skip on his imagination. pisces are famous for having visions that are beyond vivid. their minds are full of wonder and distant worlds🌠and romance is a constantly present theme inside those worlds

in other words, the need for love is really prominent. it is a yearning

intuition is strong with this placement

despite being an avid thinker, a pisces moon often acts based on emotion and the heart's desire, rather than logic

sentimental and soft, though he may try to hide it

did someone order pink glasses?🌸💕

Libra Mercury

lovely tone of voice, pleasant manners, charming way of approaching people✨

not a fan of conflicts, he either avoids them or, if the need arises, finds strength to resolve it in the most peaceful way possible

a good example of his mercury in action is "iKON TV" (ep. 7, part 4) where he felt uncomfortable confronting the rude/provocative behavior of a man and wanted to end things on mutual understanding and good terms

afraid of harming people with his words

naturally polite to everyone, wants people to like him

open-minded about new ideas and loves hearing what other people have to say

beauty finds it's way into B.I's speech. again, this serves him well during writing and sometimes public speaking

fairness is a big theme here as well, won't tolerate unjust or foul words towards anyone

his mind is very much set towards the good things and traits in people or the world. it's a rather idealistic perspective, but Libras seek peace and equality within their lives. imbalance or lack of harmony throws them from the right path and that may lead to unwanted moodswings, unusual behavior or an overall negative response from the Libra native🎭

needs a lot of time to make decisions and process things (and especially what side he's on)

Venus in Virgo

highly detail-oriented, especially when it comes to other people

hardly ever satisfied, perfection is everything to him. this goes for himself and others as well

while dealing with a Virgo placement, notice how good they are at helping you improve and develop yourself and your work ethics. they are great at helping people, yet they might not be too good on themselves and their standarts. considering that Virgo is in Hanbin's venus, his standarts in relationships of any kind can be high. he's a selective kind💎 that can be both useful and too much to handle

Virgos show love through service, mostly when in comes to something practical

although this is an earth sign, it is ruled by mercury, which makes B.I not only down-to-earth, hard-working and determined, but also craving communication, variety and fun

enjoys people with a broad mind and diverse personality, someone who never stops learning🚀

considering that venus is in fall in the sign of Virgo, the planet doesn't sit well here. it feels like there's no air for venus to breathe in when trapped in the analytical mind of Virgo, where much emphasis is put on the smaller things and not the bigger picture

tbh writing, information and organizing is basically a turn on

needs loads of time for himself, to organize his throughts, progress, values and work. alone time is a must

highly intellectual. knowledge is power

shy. especially when he likes someone

cares a lot about anything and everything. oftentimes that leads to worry and anxiety, but in severe levels

spends money wisely, is very careful about it. never impulsive spending, thinks it through a lot

responsible

Mars in Leo

oohh, here we go🔥

a very obvious indication of natural leadership skills

mars feels comfortable here, in the fire-y sign of Leo, therefore brings loads of confidence to the table

cocky boi, lets be real

noticeable presence, strong ethics, fixed morals, big desires

takes much pride in his achievements/success and the leo withing him likes to show it off to the world, wear his power like a lion's mane 🦁

winning in life is what he lives for

the stage truly belongs to him, it feels right to be there and shine like a thousand stars, to be loved by many and to, most importantly, spread that love even more like a Leo is prone to do

receives attention quite easily, even if he's not asking for it

since adoration is enjoyable, especially for Leo placements, it is likely he may go out of his way to feel it, to experience the admiration from others. after all, he's a born performer and has all of the creativity to get what he wants🎬

as you can imagine, for a placement like this, losing is not an option. but when that happens, when things don't go well or they unwillingly put shame on their name, it's a big stab in the ego. Leos are never in a good place when they fail, therefore they do anything they can to always end up victorious. otherwise, they won't even compete

embarrassment and humiliation is a big NO

can be quite the drama queen when all worked up about an issue, definitely the type to demonstrate what they're feeling

Hanbin is a frequent gym visitor, which is really good for his Leo mars. that way he can manage his emotions better and calm down his high levels of energy

say hello to !passion!, she loves to be here and boost Hanbin with even more drive for conquering not only his goals, but also his love interests

ultimate hunter award? yeah, you got it

he truly loves to love, spread love, show love, be loved, make love, everything!❤️

big-hearted and very generous, he would share the world with you if he could, or better yet, give it to you🌌

That's it for this goofball🌈 Thank you for reading! I'm really excited to start this series once again (previously done with Monsta X) but now with iKON. Only 6 more members to go!

Hope you're having a lovely day, wherever you are🎈

What about a reaction of the RFA to an MC with SCD and ADD who is still very caring, thoughtful and understanding (ofc intelligent as well) but has a hard time inside dealing with the newly assigned diagnosis (I had a 2days-week long melt/breakdown bcz of it-crying&flustered at how some of the symptoms felt rly relatable to me&my past self, & that I may have ASD & some say it doesn't even exist& it's just- a lot of inner turmoil tht goes on inside that MC tries2keepitin-not2burden&bjudgedbyothrs

Thank you for the request! I hope you like it ^^ 

I hope you are doing alright now and send you lots of hugs :) 

Yoosung:

He was sympathetic

Of course he loved you for you

You are such a kind, caring person, someone the whole rfa came to grow deeply fond of in such a short period of time

how you were so thoughtful and understanding, he loved that about you

especially since you were so thoughtful and understanding with him, even when he kept on comparing you to rika before, he is so glad you were so patient with him

because you meant a lot to him

So when you told him about your new diagnoses, he was there for you, just as understanding as you had for him

he knew of ADD but honestly that didn’t bother him at all, nothing would

He listened to you and comforted you as you were going through processing the new diagnoses

he reads up on all of it to help make things easier for you so you won’t have to feel overwhelmed by this

He looks you in the eye and tells you that you will never, NEVER, be a burden

You had kept this in the whole time? You are such a wonderful caring person that changed his life and helped the rfa finally move forward once again

Hell, you helped him out at his worst too, so really

he helps you out whenever you need

zen:

you were so warm and bright, you always gave encourgaments and comforted him when he was going through his thing with echo girl

he never knew his princess was going through such inner turmoil and such a hard time

but when you tried to cover it up with a smile, he immediately knew something was up

I guess he could sense it or he is just an emotional person himself so he noticed those little quiet moments you had or that solemn look you’d get sometimes

he one day sat down with you and squeezed your hand, speaking in a comforting voice “Princess, you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling from me, it’s okay to feel weak around me, I’m here for you.”

Soon Mc began to shake a bit, as tears began to fall from her eyes and slowly all the emotions she had holding in came out

He held you to him and stroked your hair comfortingly as you sobbed into his chest

you two stayed like that for a while

he wrapped you up in a blanket and brought you tea and some tissues, happy to look after you while you go through this, he will do everything for you

you both sit on the couch while you lean against him as you two watched tv, every time you tensed up a bit or sobbed a bit more he would rub your arm comfortingly as you did

He was always ready to listen and was very sympathetic to what you would say

He told you not to worry and that’d you two will get through this together

reads up on all about it so he could understand what you go through and so he could know ways to help you too

he would do little things that would help cheer you up as well

but he always told you that he and everyone loved the person you are and how bright of a person you were to them, and that this is not something to feel bad about

Spends time with you even letting you read the script with him and always giving you sweet forehead kisses in case this helps.

Is supportive af, he’s got u girl

Jaehae:

She brought you herbal tea the one day, and spent some time with you

She always enjoyed your wonderful personality but one day she noticed that you seemed troubled, despite your efforts to try and hide it

“Mc, are you alright?” She asked, concern etched in her face, “If anything is troubling you, you can tell me, I’ll always be here to listen.”

Her words seemed to be enough for you to slowly lose your facade and for tears to begin to fall, you sighed as you looked troubled trying to find the words

she looked at you concerned but stayed patiently, you didn’t need to say anything or talk, just sitting here in silence was perfectly okay, you could let it out

she took your hand and squeezed it gently and assurance and you could even hold hers and squeeze it instead of talking as just a way of comfort

She told you little reassurances, and that it’s always okay to feel this way because she and all of rfa are here for you

she even pointed out her troubled moments and how you will not be judged because all of them wind up hitting a very vulendrable place too

She wipes away your tears and rubs your back, smiling to you

Gets you herbal tea since it helps you because it does not contain any caffeine but has calming properties, always checks which foods can aggravate your condition and what foods and drinks could calm it

Ensures you’re getting adequate levels of the right foods that improves your symptoms as well

She reads up all about and boom goes into full support girlfriend mom mode and has your back with anything

Jumin:

This dude knows all about trying to hide emotions, even though it’s not exactly the same case

Hell, he is still understanding them but has improved thanks to you

So when he noticed that one day you seemed a little quieter than usual, he noticed the small differences like a solemn look in your eyes

You are such a caring person, he doesn’t want you to go through anything on your own or feel like to hide anything that is bothering you

“Mc, are you alright?” he asked with concern, his eyes looking into yours, you couldn’t really hide anything from him

You began to speak but stuttered a little, your lip quivering, that was enough for him and he took you into an embrace, his hand at the back of your head holding you against his chest

You don’t have to force yourself to speak, you let out little sobs and your posture gave in to what you were really feeling, sinking into him.

“It’s okay, Mc.” he whispered comfortingly, you can lean on him, you can be completely vulnerable because he will take care of you

He would rather you let it all out and than have to hold it in

“You never have to feel like you need to keep anything from me or rfa, we all love you for you and you don’t have to pretend you’re happy for our sake, we all care for what is best for your well being.”

“You don’t have to be strong for us, we will be strong for you.”  

Makes sure you have a healthy lifestyle and everything that will help ease the symptoms or make your life easier, but is always there and ready for when you feel like breaking down

You don’t have to feel bad at all for letting it all out

Seven:

This boy knows all about covering up what you really feel behind a fun easy going facade

he was practically a master of it

So when he noticed something was quite different with you but you still smiled to him as if not to worry him about it, that boy went straight to you and pulled you against him into a tight hug.

He held you there for a while, just breathing calmly, you seemed to know that he could see you were trouble and sunk into him, he made you feel secure like this when you were feeling anything but

“Mc, if something’s bothering you, I promise you can tell me.”

You two stayed like that for a bit as he gave you a look of unconditional love and trust, you could be open to him about anything, since you were so understanding when he confided in you

“I-I guess I can’t fool you hey..” you joke sadly, as you sob a little, he stroked your hair soothingly in response, whatever it is, it’s okay now because he is here for you

he will support you in every way so you don’t have to feel like you’re going through this alone, and despite how bad it feels or may look, you have him and everyone who loves you for who you are, no matter how you feel.

He knows all about it and helps make your life easier accordingly, he sits and holds you during your melt downs and sometimes jokes a little to cheer you up

To be honest though, him and Saeran are there for you, Saeran brings you food or tissues if you need it and he’s always there to listen

the choi twins got your back  

V:

He can’t see but he can already feel that you seem down

He asks you if you’re alright, but knows that you aren’t

this dude is so empathetic that he can just tell

Sits with you and patiently lets you let it all out while giving you compliments and reassurances

seriously you never have to worry about opening up about anything you have with this guy, nothing phases him, he looks at you the same as he he always does

with love and admiration

he tells you have beautiful your personality is, how amazing you are, how you mean the world to him and how you mean so much to rfa and how they all loved you so quickly

You are so beautiful to him, you are such an amazing person that he has the privilege to even know and love let alone love him back

He tells you no matter how bad you feel, how bad the it gets or your break downs get, you never have to worry or feel bad about it or how others think because the truth is

Is that you are such an amazing person and that will always stand out more than the symptoms, his love for you will always stand out for you and you are always a blessing to everyone in the rfa

You are an angel to him, no matter what

He will look after you and be your strength and emotional support

Seriously he loves you with a passion

Always takes photos and tells you how beautiful you are and how spending time with you always makes him feel blessed

Hugs and cuddles you tightly during the really bad times, kisses you on the cheek and head lovingly literally every time he gets the chance, even in the morning and night

Always leaves you a sweet note even though his handwriting is pretty bad so you can’t really tell what it says but the thought is there

Always texts you to see if you’re alright

Brings you little gifts of things you like whenever he gets home

Helps you get the best treatment and lifestyle to help manage the symptoms because he wants you to be happy

He would honestly give you the world
