Blinding stars, I said I was done with plurality stuff.
So why is it still a problem.
#this is dumb#clearly if i avoid/ignore a problem it’s supposed to go away#/sarcastic#but still#i’m annoyed#i wanted to be done with it#but it’s still a thing#even though i don’t want it to be a thing#this headache is not helping my mood#my one solace right now is that i got to use the phrase “blinding stars”

could you write about Thena being very sensitive to loud noises and Gil comforting her by covering her ears etc. love your work!!
"Um, Thena?"
"What?!"
Heads turned towards the usually quiet Warrior Eternal. It wasn't just that her voice was soft, it was that she was usually on the reticent side. But everyone all but trembled as she barked at them all.
Sersi froze on the spot, her hand half extended in front of her. "I-I was just wondering if...never mind."
Thena sighed. Her face was still somewhat twisted into a deeply displeased expression. But she walked closer to her. "I'm sorry, Sersi. What did you need?"
The Elemental Eternal still hesitated, but she tried to force the words out. "W-Well, this batch is ready--if you could help us all carry them to the centre square. If you can't that's okay!"
"It's fine," the Warrior Eternal grumbled, already walking past her sister towards the piles upon piles of fire crackers they had fashioned for the festival. It was a celebration for the new lunar cycle. They were doing their duty by helping the locals with their cultural traditions.
The humans backed away as Thena leaned over to pick up their burden for them. They muttered a little, bowing and smiling. It was closer to cowering than anything.
All things considered, she probably should have done more to discourage their fear--assure them that she was here to help. But as more fireworks 'tests' went off her face was simply unable to relax. "It's nothing."
Even Sersi gave her some space as they began walking. Their loads were large, perhaps suspiciously large but not impossibly. Sersi cleared her throat, "how are you doing?"
"Fine."
Sersi tried again. "Really? I know they're testing the gun powder a lot lately. And I'm sure no one would say anything if you didn't want to-"
"I'm fine, Sersi." Thena walked ahead, towards the head splitting ruckus taking place in the centre of town. As Sersi said, the tests for their celebrations were happening near constantly now that they were so close.
Phastos was proud of their quick advancement with the new chemical compound. Sersi and Ajak were delighted to learn about what they had developed culturally around this time of year and what it meant to them. The 'younger' ones - as Thena considered them were just excited to have a night that wasn't fighting and watch duty and diplomacy and watch duty and sparring with Ikaris and more watch duty.
Gilgamesh was on watch duty at this very moment.
Another round of firecrackers went off. Weren't humans supposed to be fragile? How could they possibly endure this kind of cacophony?! Thena walked faster. The sooner she could drop off this load the sooner she could leave.
The humans around her jumped like crickets.
"Here!" she belted, slamming down the half a barrel of supplies. She was still restraining herself. She didn't break it.
"Sorry, she's...sensitive to loud noises." She could hear Sersi making excuses for her as she walked away.
"Hey, Thena, ready for tonight?" Kingo shouted at her over the noise.
"No!"
Maybe she would owe Kingo an apology. He wasn't to blame for all the excitement. But he would accept it. Of all her teammates Kingo would probably be one of the only ones who would understand the extra snarl in her tone and the stomp of her feet.
"Thena."
This was the last thing she needed. She glared at Ikaris ahead of her. "Not now."
"There's no need for you to be like this," Ikaris continued to scold her. "I understand you're not happy about Gil being on watch all night. But that doesn't mean you can-"
Thena grabbed her brother's head, making sure to dig her thumb into his scruffy cheek, and slammed it into the wall next to them. It didn't bounce like a ball, and Phastos would make her come back and repair the hole in the bricks she had made. But she kept walking.
Curse this festival, curse the gunpowder and every wretched form it could take. The sooner this was over and the settlement went back to being a quiet, peaceful village, the better. Her skull felt like it was being split in half from the inside out. There were even times she could swear her vision would become white like the clouds.
Eternals couldn't suffer a stroke, but perhaps she would be the first.
Thena turned a corner and ducked down against the wall. She pressed her forehead to it. She didn't know which would shatter first, her tiara or her skull. But at least the stone was cold, the little alleyway was somewhat darker than the red sunset. Already fires were being set, and soon the sky would be alight.
The high pitched shrieking of the first few shot into the air. The rapid pops of the firecrackers weren't absent either. They wound together in a violent harmony. At least now that they had started, they did have to end at some point.
Thena remained sequestered in her little attempt at finding some peace and quiet. If Ajak hadn't insisted on abandoning the Domo back with the remains of Babylon she could have been seeking refuge on their nice, comfortable mothership. Instead she was trying to put her head through a wall, all but curled up like a child.
She wished she could be different for them; celebrating with her brothers and sisters. Sersi was happy to help with the festivities. Makkari and Sprite would be encouraging the locals to show them how to have a good time. Even Druig tended to loosen up at these things. Maybe Ikaris could be convinced to pull his head out of his ass.
She sighed. She couldn't stay here forever. Perhaps it would be better for her to start repairing the wall she had broken with Ikaris' face while everyone else was celebrating. Another firework screamed its way up into the sky. It exploded, casting her shadow over her feet. Anything would be better than moping around, waiting for Gilgamesh's return.
She had volunteered to cover his watch duty. It would relieve her from this madness. And Gil was more suited to parties. She was quite sure he had wanted to enjoy it, too. He had been talking about all the different foods made for the feast that would accompany all the noise.
"What are you doing down here?"
Thena closed her eyes again.
"Shouldn't you be with everyone in town? I bet there's some food you'll like."
She felt like her teeth could feel the sounds entering her ears. She shook her head, which only ruffled the crown of her hair pressed against the plaster. Until two hands gently pulled her away from the wall. She groaned.
Gil pulled her face into his chest, putting his hands over her ears. At last, it was quiet.
Thena sighed. The sounds of chaos faded to the back of her mind. The breath in Gil's lungs, the beat of his heart, the rustle and clanking of his armour replaced it all. She inhaled, repositioning her forehead under his jaw. "I thought you were gone all night."
"Kingo came and offered to switch with me," he excused lightly as he pressed his cheek to her hair. "Pretty generous of him."
Thena smiled; she liked Kingo. He was a good brother. And she was sure he would come to her later with a demand of satiating his kindness. But currently speaking, she would give him anything at all.
"You must be having a tough time." He spoke gently, and the sound of his voice rippled through their connected bodies. It reverberated deep in her head.
She picked her head up to look at him, his hands still over her ears. His hands were bigger than hers, and they were soft, and warm. She nodded. He turned her around in his arms so she could look up. The fireworks were going off. Maybe they weren't so bad - pretty, even - when they weren't destroying her ear canals.
Gilgamesh kissed the top of her head as they admired the show from their quiet little corner. "I'm sorry you suffered like this alone."
She shook her head. She leaned back on him; he supported her easily. She laid one hand across her waist at her hip and raised the other one to his cheek, tapping it affectionately.
"That one's pretty," Gilgamesh pointed out as a collection of white stars exploded in the sky and rained down. "Reminds me of you."
"Hm," she smiled; he was such a soft hearted thing. A green one twinkled, not deep like emerald but earthy, like jade. "You."
"Yeah, I guess so," he laughed, admiring the show with her.
By the time the rest of the Eternals came to find them, whether to chastise Thena for her temper or ask if she was still suffering physically, they needn't have. All they arrived to was her curled up in Gilgamesh's embrace, his hands over her ears, and her: using his heartbeat as whitenoise.
#Thenamesh#thank you so much for the ask!!#I hope you like it#I have been wanting to wr5ite something for them in China for so long#Sprite shows them ONE illusion and bam! gun powder#anyway if you've read my stuff for a while#you'll know I'm semi-obsessed with the fact that Makkari's shorthand for Thena's name#looks like a firework#Thena is having a rough time#firecrackers going off truly is terrifying#like a tiny little rapid thunderstorm#The rest of the Eternals are also like#okay it's kind of loud#maybe Ikaris also has a headache#the way I think Thena would be pushing and shoving him at every possible opportunity#especially when she's in a bad mood#she just wants to go to her room!#but they don't have the domo and she can't block out any sound without her big cuddly Gilgamesh#he says oh my poor Thena here sweetie let me help#Kingo later on: y'know I didn't have to relieve Gil earlier#Thena: fine whatever you want just leave us alone until tomorrow#she does repair the wall#and she lets Kingo have first dibs on the feast Gil makes for everyone#he's a little surprised#until he learns that Gil made Thena her own little personal sized dimsum buffet of all her favs#also to be real for a second#sensory issues would so be a thing for the Eternals I mean really

When Bioware doesn't make N7 merach for short women, you gotta make your own. I've made my own N7 hoodie and tanktop and I'll have an N7 sweater come noon I hope. ✌🏻
My roommate is in the shower "do you need anything from the bathroom before I go?" "nope, go ahead"
I need the hot iron. I need to iron this before I baste it to the shirt. Yay brain.
I'll also need to wash out my hair dye before I finalize the patch placement.
Well 🤣
#wip#N7 merch#N7 sweatshirt#I like to have options#I'm doing shit with a headache and miserable today but I'm doing shit and it helps. Not with the pain but with my mood.#Skipping the workout tho.#I slightly less hate today now.

i am so annoyed with everything right now ugh
#Lissi vents#There’s no real tag I don’t care#Like three different things happened and one of them wasn’t even to me I’m just defensive#But ough my mood is ruined and there’s no real trick or treating afterwards to help that#Other than like hitting a few houses on my street with my siblings#And I have a headache. Ugh

If I don’t draw I’m going rot away for real
#I am in a god awful mood again and have a headache and it’s midnight and it’s another exhausting day in an exhausting month#and I want it to be a fast whip smth out in 90 minutes night but it won’t be#but I feel miserable that I haven’t drawn in so long#but really I should go to bed but that’s adding to it#I’m also in a headspace of being very nasty to myself so that is not helping the decision making#and I promise I’ll stop making these fucking posts about wanting to draw at midnight bc who gives a shit#but I spend all day telling myself I’ll draw tonight and then I’m exhausted and without clear ideas#and I don’t even go to bed early I just watch YouTube videos on silent for an hour to stay up#things will be better next month I’m just in the middle of about 5 exceptionally difficult weeks of my life#and things aren’t even that bad they’re just hard.

You know, I’d really like to know more about chronic headaches and migraines. I don’t know that most of my headaches really fit the migraine definition, but I’m not sure if it’s my high pain tolerance/ability to block out pain or if there’s something different at play. I usually have no idea what kind of headache is going on, and then sometimes the pain is just...weird and depresses my will to do anything without necessarily escalating or being the primary problem going on. (sometimes I can’t even tell you where the pain is except for “my head,” and it seems like describing where the pain is coming from is a big thing for doctors?)
I’m hesitant to label what’s going on because I really don’t know what’s happening and struggle to put my own pain into words, but it’s a fine line between “accurately describing what’s going on, including the severity or lack thereof of pain” and “don’t want to downplay how much this affects me.” I get headaches multiple times a week, which is a lot less than I used to, and it’s been a while since I had headaches every other day. Now it’s more like every 3-4 days, with longer and shorter stretches. But I have had awful headaches and most headaches are just routine! Even filling out pain scales is hard because honestly a lot of the time the sensation of pain isn’t the primary problem.
#like man. today was rough.#but i didn't have brain fog! and it sort of felt like a tension headache i think? except for whatever messed up thing happened to my mood#and made it so i was utterly exhausted and barely able to get through some spreadsheets#and i guess i was light sensitive?#but was i really?#literally unless pain is one-sided and eye-stabbing i have no idea what kind of headache is going on#(okay there are overheating headaches that are pretty specific but other than that)#like it's one big grey blob of *i don't know but there's discomfort* and that's not helpful for diagnostics!#idk why it's so hard but it is#maybe i need to start filling out one of those multidimensional pain charts for a while to see if that's helpful?#it just seems like most people online with migraines are very clear exactly what's happening to them because the pain is so distinct#and so i don't think most of my headaches are migraines? i certainly don't get aura the way my mom does

I think my headaches are at least partially hormonal, and my mood dysregulation definitely is, so I’ll probably finally ask for birth control and see if that helps
#logxx#I MIGHT be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone#Or potentially THREE birds if it helps w my breakouts#Ofc it could be that my headaches are mostly unrelated and that my mood problems aren't significantly impacted otherwise but We'll See .
