#totally normal and healthy amount of books.

[memento-morri-writes]

So, I have 14.5 unread books in my room, which inspired me to count how many (fiction) books I have in my bedroom, and the answer is 262. And I have at least 3 more on pre-order. Ugh, I wish I hadn't gotten rid of a bunch of books when I was in middle school. I would definitely have at least 300 by now if I hadn't...

(And an ever-growing number of them are books by writeblr people!!)

[coffeeworldsasaki]

What is annoying me to death is that without worrying about the fights the game must be around 40 hours? Even 35? And since I get around 2 hours to play if I'm well organized during the day it could take me sooo little to finish it but noooo I have to save every 5 minutes and start up everything again every time my PC freezes ughhhhhhhh

I finished 3 of the 5 big quests before the final section of the game but the other 2 are the fucking deep roads and that annoyance of the temple of the sacred ashes.......... This game is so fucking broken it's making me go insane but maybe possibly could be that I can finish it in a week or max 2

some of the most iconic queer poster children of the warrior cats fandom. happy pride to the girls gays and theys (particularly those who enjoy brawling feline content)

dabble in my headcannons for these pairings under the read-more button if i’ve piqued your interest…

RAVEN x BARLEY (gay x gay)

i know there’s been a bit of controversy going around about these two and how they could be seen as toxic, with barley being insecure over ravenpaw’s connection to thunderclan. i get that perspective for sure, but i think it’s representative of REASONABLE flaws in a real relationship. obviously it’s not ideal that they never completely resolve it (since it’s ‘solved’ in the graphic novel but reopened in ravenpaw’s novella) and i wished that they addressed that more concretely (i say about a fucking middle grade book about talking cats LOL) but even more so i think you could see it as a realistic relationship as with issues in those, they often subdue and reoccur at intervals. it’s just about talking it out with your partner 🦭👍 plus if the majority of their relationship outside of this is good (which i definitely see it as, since obviously the books have to take place at points of conflict for there to be interesting things to write about) then it seems to be a somewhat small flaw.

that being said i haven’t actually read the books this comes up in so take my opinion with grains of salt, just online discourse about it. totally get if your life experience makes you see their interactions another way as this is just my two cents based on my experience with people.

overall i’m not a superfan of the sickly-sweet reputation these two get but i do like them for what i see them as, which is a Normal Relationship with Some Flaws. i like that they find solace in each other in a peaceful place after fleeing their less peaceful pasts. it’s a great dynamic (and i’m a sucker for farms) and i think they compliment each other’s personalities really well, with barley bringing ravenpaw out of the shell he’s been forced into and ravenpaw inspiring more cautiousness in a very brash barley who would otherwise probably jump into fights at the drop of a hat.

on a somewhat unrelated note, as a kid did anyone else wish that ravenpaw dropped his paw suffix? or blue/firestar granted him an honourary suffix for everything the poor kid went through? this isn’t like a super big meanigful thing but it just annoyed me when i was younger that the paw suffix kind of belittles him to apprentice level when after the fuckery the poor kid went through i think he deserves more recognition from the clans than that.

BLUESTAR x YELLOWFANG (bi x bi)

OKAYYY old women! while fanart of the two of them being in a loving happy relationship is very cute i like to take my old woman yuri one-sided and traumatic.

i think that yellowfang would have an unrequited crush on bluestar. what’s there not to like?! at the point when they meet bluestar is a compassionate but commanding cat in the prime of her leadership. after a bit of her being in the camp i think bluestar would also start spending a curious amount of time in the medicine den… unconciously she definitely saw the appeal in yellowfang from the getgo- it definitely strengthens the reasoning of her surprising decision to defend yellowfang as a member of thunderclan depsite risking a full on war with other clans from it, and her other clanmates lives in the process. obviously bluestar’s a leader that wouldn’t base a decision like that just based on a crush, and it was definitely because of what she wants her clan to stand for, but it’s Not a downside that the cute lady she used to see at gatherings gets to stay a while

bluestar’s definitely not letting it occupy her mind though, of course, totally not (the lady has Trauma from her relationship with oakheart and i see her as having an attatchment issue where she doesn’t feel like she deserves to have a healthy relationship, especially after losing mosskit. she’s just not fully ready yet). yellowfang pines as she watches bluestar throw herself fully into her work to distract herself from the growing feelings, and at some point probably grows annoyed with the cat-and-mouse and starts dedicating herself fully to her own work as a medicine cat too. there are moments of sweetness and clarity and words on the tips of tongues, but just as unexpectedly as they come bluestar will turn her head back to her duties.

unfortunately once tigerstar’s betrayal happens all cute flirting comes to a screeching halt as bluestar is consumed by the paranoia. on the good days she’ll hold stilted conversation with her clanmates, but not so much on the bad days. yellowfang hurts as she watches her crush sprial into madness and dysfunction, the likes of which is only heightened when the fire happens and yellowfang passes- completely insetting bluestar’s hatred for starclan for taking her love (who she still does have deeply-buried feelings for) away from her.

overall, can you tell i love inflicting mental anguish on bluestar? it’s my favourite hobby. i’m not even joking.

LEAFPOOL x MOTHWING (bi x lesbian)

okay this one might make you realise i love doomed yuri. Anyways,

put simply, i think leafpool and mothwing find each other attractive and secretly hook up on a frequent basis for some…. Funny Business. Hanky-Panky, if you will. ‘no-strings-attached’ yeah right i don’t think sapphics have ever pulled off a no strings attatched relationship without casualities.

mothwing definitely wants to confess but leafpool by that point has been forcing herself to move on and ends up telling mothwing about ‘liking’ crowfeather right before mothwing works up the courage (reading leafpool x crowfeather for the first time in the canon books geniunely felt like someone’s ao3 crackship. i guess that’s what traumabinding will do to two mfs). or maybe mothwing notices that leafpool is pregnant (which HOW THE HELL DID NOONE NOTICE IN CANON) and backs the hell off from that. maybe a very angsty argument over that… delicious.

how very ‘good luck babe’ by chappell roan of them! i think things end pretty awkwardly for mothpool and neither leafpool nor crowfeather are really in love with each other they’re just something shiny and distracting from each of their respective circuses of personal lives. i literally hear the clown music playing as they run away together. maybe it’s tinnitus.

they probably pine for each other forever and ever after that, neither falling in love again because they never get over each other. damn. how awkward is it to see your kind-of-ex at the moonpool every month…

anyway thanks for reading though beau’s cat rambles! if youve stuck it out to here… a tip of the hat to you

pussy hair hcs <3

cw. reader has a vagina with pubic hair, hair pulling, fingering, cunnilingus, reader wears a bikini in soob's, tae has a noona thing, established relationship in kai's, reader referred to her/woman, pet names (baby). notes. happy kinktober! i know this may be a lil ~different~ but i wanted to show hairy pussies some love. this talks a lot about hair and i know some people don't like hair and that's ok! its totally fine if you like to shave, but pubic hair is completely normal, natural, and healthy!! so do whatever YOU wanna do. smut(?) under cut.

yeonjun would be SO into it pls. slipping his hand under your panties for the first time and welcomed by a glorious lil tuft of hair. it immediately warms him up, breath rattling in his chest as he deepens the kiss, already tugging at your pants. and when they're finally off, he thinks you look so pretty. he loves it fr. uses his fingertips to scratch your skin playfully. bundles up the longer bits and yanks at it hard, making you moan as if he were doing this to the hair on your head.

soobin is so fkn sweet w your hairs. he loves playing with them, twirling them around his finger. he first noticed your hair when you went to the beach together. when you sat crisscross to read your book on the lounge chair, a few stray hairs poked out from the sides of ur bikini nd he couldn't keep his eyes off you. he couldn't explain it really. but as soon as he saw them, he wanted to feel you, taste you. and as soon as you got back to your place, he was on his knees.

beomgyu loves it best when its not completely shaven, but not completely grown out imo. like..u haven't shaved in a while but there's still a good amount of hair there. i feel like he's the kinda guy to just play w his partner's body mindlessly while doing something on his phone, reading, playing video games, that kinda thing. and one of his favorite things to do is to brush his fingers through ur little hairs :3 and whenever you are completely shaven and his hand wanders down there, he's all confused and pouty like why'd you shave, baby?

taehyun truly, truly, truly loves the looks of ur hairy pussy. he thinks it just makes you look so woman. i mean we all know tae loves noonas, so it adds that much more to how he sees you. i can practically hear his begging noona~ please...lemme taste you. you taste so fucking good. saying no because you haven't shaved but you think that's gonna turn me off? you know how much i love your hairy pussy, noona :(

hueningkai loves the feeling of your hair on his face while he eats u out. ur already at the point in ur relationship where y'all walk around the apartment naked sometimes and just catching a glimpse of ur hair has his brain all fuzzy. changing as soon as you get home while he watches you, getting ready for a shower, whatever, he's just lookin for ur hairy pussy.

[sitepathos]

I just found your story 'from gold to mold' and I did read all these chapters, one after another. I ate it all like I was fasting all day!! Your writing is so good I'm in love. I even got my sibling to it just so I can have someone to talk to about it!!! (Sorry, English is not my first language)

I do actually have a question and a suggestion:

1| Y/N had a scar because of Damian but he lost it after chapter 3. But it seems Alfred didn't notice it, it was not even mentioned that he noticed it was gone. It made me want to see his mind. Does he know who is Y/N?

2| About Y/N who was in like a coma state. From what I know his muscles will be so weak he will have a hard time to even sit up and every move with his head will make him dizzy because of blood circulation being slower than normal because he is sitting in one place most of the time. So just thinking of him coming out of his mind, having a hard time to even move, feeling super dizzy and just after seeing Alfred, Bruce walk in and call him "my baby doy!" If I'm Y/N I'll cring so hard ma butt checks will clap. (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ

I don't think he will be capable of screaming much because he didn't raise his voice for a month (and didn't talk much as well). His trout muscles will be weeker and he will probably hurt it from screaming.

If we combine all of this the amount of rage, hate and pain, helplessness and stress Y/N have will be royal! emotions affect the body more than we think! this amount of negative emotions will be distractive to Y/N's health. (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Anyway please take care of yourself and stay healthy, I hope you the best. ⊂⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠⊂⁠)

Yeah, that’s a bit of an oversight by me, sorry! I actually had it on my mind to include in Chapter 5, but it slipped my mind. That man knows everything about everyone in the Wayne Family and knows when something is wrong, so he’d totally know something happened if he saw your scar missing.

But, it was a small scar, easy to miss if you didn’t know any better, but every time you looked in a mirror, it was the first thing you noticed about your reflection. Maybe he thought you found some product to conceal it because he knew how much you hated it and Damian for giving it to you. Plus, he noticed your behavior changed and that’s what he was mostly focused on.

Well, that and trying to get your “family” to notice you.

Also, about the scenario about you coming out of your coma: they might have moved your limbs to prevent atrophy, but not being able to move them at all still takes a toll on them. So, you’re not gonna be running any marathons or lifting heavy weights any time soon.

But, your rage burns bright and your hate for them is so great, you don’t care about your body’s condition and willing to make your condition worse just to say how you feel about them.

To see you hurting yourself just to call them every name in the book really opens their eyes to how they’ve wronged you.

It may take some time, but eventually you’ll calm down and when you do, they’ll swoop in and bring you back into the family.

They capture criminals and lock them up only for them to escape and do it all again, they have the patience of saints (despite being the farthest thing from it).

[muffinlance]

Hello! I've got a slightly odd question for you: Might I have permission to bind "Salvage" into a print book as a gift for my friend? No monetary gain, just a gift for my best friend who loves "Salvage" a totally healthy and normal amount. (Probably.) (Pictures would, of course, be sent in copious amounts.)

Go forth and fanbind! And definitely send along those pictures <3

For the record: I have a blanket "go for it" policy on fanbinding my fanfiction works.

Chapter 1: Checking In

The Sun is the Center of Everything

See Author's Note (CW: addiction)

Word count: 3.5k

Damiano David x Y/n

His family and his friends, mutual and otherwise, made tepid comments about Damiano’s wellbeing. They knew they didn’t have the right to ask anything of you, not anymore.

“Just checking in! I know the breakup was tough.” Tough. The word choice made you outright laugh. It was something you’d say to a child who just lost a football game. I know that was tough, buddy. 

“Hey, checking in, hope you’re doing well.” 

“I wanted to check in and see how you’re doing, y/n.”

“I know I checked in on you earlier, but I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.” I was forced to choose between my sanity and my relationship, but God granted me neither.

“I’m doing fine, all things considered.” “Checking in” was their excuse to call, it was a transition to statements like, “We all miss you alot. Hope we’ll see you soon, sweetheart.” “Well, I’m glad you’re doing well, since I know Damia has been struggling.” “Have you heard from Dami? I was gonna call and ask how he’s doing as well. I heard he’s not coping well.” “You were such a force for good in his life. I think he really needs that.” “I wish I knew how to get Damiano closer to being fine, too.” That last one earned a real life eye roll. At least his friends had the etiquette to feel guilty for dragging you back into it. 

You were certain that your heart couldn’t bear to love someone hellbent on self-destructing. You were certain that Damiano wasn’t going to get sober of his own volition. He’d lose his temper when you’d bring up those two years of not drinking. Articles, books, podcasts, speeches, YouTube videos, TV, movies, therapy, support groups, doctors, even a sobriety coach. You spent more time on resources for his addiction disorder than you did self-care, or hobbies, or some days, even work. Your life revolved around stopping this behavior before he became a tragic stereotype and left a black hole in your life. Damiano’s life revolved around Maneskin’s unrelenting schedule. 

He’d do anything to reclaim his autonomy, but the options were slim. The documents from Sony US hadn’t been translated with nuance and you wondered if that might void some of it. Hoped, really. He’d signed his life away to realize his dream. Now all he could do is show his handlers that they’d bought a faulty machine. In fact, he was self-destructive enough that he’d do it just to spite them. 

The first time Damiano was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning, you found about a dozen ways to reassure yourself that everything wasn’t falling apart. He’d been sober for two years so his tolerance was low. Damiano was probably drinking the same amount. Then you found out it’d been hard alcohol, no mixers. Now the excuses were he didn’t remember when to stop. He had to relearn how to self regulate when drinking. 

Ethan had been the one to call the first time, when they’d managed to contain it. The second it was his head of security, Ronnie. In a totally normal and healthy way, you combed through Twitter for an hour. The knot in your stomach said the news would break and it did. Splashed across tabloids was a haggard looking picture of Dami that you tried to date based on his outfit. Your therapist called your behavior “obsessive,” but followed it up with a surprising amount of empathy.

“Tough love can be equally painful on both sides.” You’d never told her you still loved him. It was obvious. For the first time, carrying around all Damiano’s secrets felt like a burden. You’d never betray his confidence, despite how poisonous he’d been towards the end. SME had you sign a non-disclosure agreement in early 2021. You’d insisted it wasn’t necessary, that there wasn’t enough money in the world to pay you to talk to the press. Sony had simply said, “for now,” prompting Dami’s stereotypically Italian temper to flare.

Ronnie was more concerned with you telling Damiano that he’d relayed this information, clearly against your ex-boyfriend’s wishes. 

“Be honest with me, are you breaching contract by calling me?” There’s a very long sign on the other end of the line.

“Technically, no. He hasn’t taken you off his emergency contacts. I’m more concerned about the disruption it would cause.”

“Disruption?”

“Explosion. Whatever he’s ingesting has made him volatile, constantly on edge. The edge of rage, that is. We’ve stopped hoping for good days and started hoping for some good hours every few days, ideally around showtime or interviews.” 

“Wow, okay. I know he has a temper –”

“He’s never not angry. It's always simmering under the surface.” Through the silence, you can hear the sounds of the hospital. Layers of anxious voices and the constant beeping of some machine.

“You didn’t do this.”

“I know,” you respond automatically.

“Y/n, you didn’t do this. He did this to himself.” Dami had violated boundary after boundary as you set them. He became less recognisable, until he wasn’t the person you fell in love with. Full of creativity, light, good humor, who loved art and comradery more than he did any substance.

“I mean, I don’t think the breakup is why he’s so angry. The depression is probably from the alcohol. That’s actually why I’m calling.” Ronnie has the same tone of voice as those who are “checking in.” “The decision has been made, that he’s going to rehab.”

“Good.” With your back braced against the wall, you slide down onto the floor with relief.

“That decision has been made without Damiano’s consent.”

“Can’t you consult him?”

“No,” Ronnie says firmly. “Addicts aren’t rational.” It was the first time you’d heard someone call Dami an addict. Before now, that word had only existed in your own head.

“I can’t believe it got to this point so quickly.” Your cat, Princess, senses your anxiety and rubs against you. Dami had picked her out as a tiny kitten. When would she start wondering where her dad was? Maybe not yet, he was gone for long stretches of time on tour. Princess doesn’t know he isn’t coming home, and that thought both makes you jealous and sob hysterically. 

“Y/n? Y/n? You still there?”

“Yeah, sorry,” you sniff, eyes burning.

“SME is using the full weight of its influence to force Dami into rehab. He might call you and say anything he can think of to get out of it. Don’t believe him. You can’t trust him right now.” The thought of Dami calling and begging you to fly him home, only to go on a bender makes you sick.

“Should I block his number and Whatsapp?”

“That's up to you.”

“You called to tell me it's up to me?”

“I called you to warn you. So you could steal yourself. So you’d know about it before the tabloids.”

“I suppose now that Dami’s hospitalization is public, someone is also gonna leak that he’s going to rehab. Cover their own asses?” Ronnie falls silent. “You know, going to rehab in privacy would be a fuck load more effective. Let them wonder.”

“I wish they would.” Here was the impasse you always reached. Damiano treated as a doll to be flung around for profit, as if he didn’t have a soul. 

“Fine. Thanks for calling me.” Each time, you tried to tell them not to update you in the future, and each time your tongue refused to form the words.

“Y/n, I have a feeling that something is really not right with him. That it could get much worse before it gets better.” Now, he’s managed to tick you off.

“Ronnie, I tried everything in my goddamn power to keep him from crashing and burning. More than anyone else! I devoted hours to –”

“Y/n, I know.”

“I couldn’t stop him from self-destructing. I tried!” The sound of tears creeps into your voice. “I couldn’t stand to watch it anymore. I don’t know if he was refusing to get better or was unable to, but either way I…tried.”

“No one questions that. I mean that Damiano might need for things to get worse for them to eventually get better. He’s stubborn and short-sighted. I want you to be ready.”

“How much worse?” you whisper.

“He might need to bruise his ass on rock bottom to stop idealizing self-destruction.”

“‘Live fast, die young’ sounds a lot like I’d rather stick it to the man than grow old with you. My ego is bigger than my love for you”

“I don’t know that that’s true, y/n. For some people it's a matter of time before they become addicts when they’re put into this pressure cooker. I’ve seen it before.

“And?”

“Only Damiano can pull himself out of it.”

“So I just wasted my time,” you respond bitterly.

“Showing Damiano how deeply and unequivocally you loved him might save him still.”

“I thought he had to save himself.”

“You’re telling me that after five years he’s not a part of you and vice versa?”

“No.” No, I’m not telling you that, because I know the opposite to be true so viscerally that it has almost destroyed me. The part of Damiano that lay in your heart should be withering in his absence, but it remained very much alive. How do you move on from someone you hadn’t broken up with? The version of Dami that caused you to end it wasn’t truly representative of his character. He was still in there, progressively buried under the rubble of this revolt. The man you loved was unreachable which also made it impossible to move on. Every day he held you in his hellish limbo. 

Damiano did his 30 days. Then 30 hours after discharge, he overdosed in Milan. You started buying a train ticket as soon as you saw Ronnie’s contact on the screen. 

“Is he alive?” 

“Yes, but he’s on a ventilator.”

“God damn it Dami,” you whimper, doubled over and on the verge of screaming into your hand. “What's happening?”

“That's literally all I know. Someone found him in the bathroom of a bougie nightclub and gave him Narcan, thank god. His lips were purple, so…” For a moment Ronnie’s voice is drowned out by a sob. “It’s gonna be messy. The ambulance was photographed.”

“Christ.” This would make international celebrity news. Every asshole who’d typecast Dam after Eurovision would be competing for the most public validation. 

“We don’t think it was intentional.”

“But how bad was it? Like would he think he was gonna die in the moment? Was he alone? How long was he conscious? What – what about organ failure. What if –”

“Y/n, I don’t know,” Ronnie says slowly. “I will call when I have more information.” You’d been on the train for 20 minutes before your phone rang. He was going to be okay. You balled up your coat and screamed, using it as a gag.

“Turns out, to compensate for the hangovers, he’s been doing cocaine.” Never has irony been more painful. “He wasn’t testing his drugs. The coke was laced with fentanyl. Another line might have killed him.” Only then does the possibility that Damiano could end his own life become apparent. It swallows up every other aspect of your reality, until you’re standing in the doorway of his hospital room. 

Thomas’ girlfriend Mia sees you first and runs in for a hug. Ethan and Vic were sleeping in their hotel rooms. Ronnie’s jacket is crumpled in a chair, forgotten after drifting off to sleep probably.

“Hey! Ronnie said you might come, but…” But I’m not Damia’s girlfriend. Perhaps he’d found someone new, and you were encroaching on their territory.

“Shit, I just thought that, um…is he dating –”

“No.” The amount of relief that provided was just evidence of how damaged you were. “He’s been in a coma for almost three hours, lots of good brain activity. He should wake up soon.”

“Coma?” you squeaked. In Tom’s eyes you saw how taxing this new Damiano had been. You weren’t the only one that loved him unconditionally. 

“Yeah.” Thomas rubs his face and sighs. “Fuck. We have so much shit tomorrow.” SME had scheduled a press tour as soon as Damiano was discharged, to make up for lost time. Everything was pushed back because the band couldn’t release something they hadn’t done publicity for.

“I’ll sit with him for a while,” you reassure. Mia helps Tom up out of the chair. After exchanging appropriate greetings, they exit the room, whose door remains open. Now you had to look at him. The ventilator emits rhythmic rushes of air, so your eyes find the source of the sound first. Then you follow the tubing until it enters Damiano. He’s gray, sickly looking like he had COVID again. Surely they already tested for that. 

The concern had been damaging his voice, like the tobacco and weed hadn’t already put his vocal chords on the edge of irreversible harm. How damaging is a plastic tube shoved down your throat? Alcohol caused esophageal cancer and coke eviscerated your sinuses. What would those do to his singing voice? 

You’d refrained from watching his gigs, but now you have the compulsion to find a video of this morning’s interview. It was just the talking portion, no performance. That was Sony’s idea of easing back into the public’s eye. In the thumbnail, he doesn’t look like an addict. Damiano’s skin had aged backwards while in rehab. He was beautiful, pale from so much time in doors, but healthy. The fact that he’d managed so much damage in a matter of hours made you nauseous. 

You sat in the bathroom while the feeling passed. The pale green tiles were cold. Should you leave? You couldn’t even work up the bravery to touch him. But if you left, Dami could wake up alone with a tube down his throat, confused that he wasn’t dead. Meanwhile, the fluorescent lights illuminate details in the reflection of the mirror that you’d prefer not to be made aware of. After pondering some adult acne, you decide that you aren’t the type of person to abandon someone, just because they abandoned you.

Upon exiting the bathroom, you startle the nurse at Damiano’s bedside.

“Geez, I didn’t know you were in there!” She brings a hand to her ample bosom while taking a deep breath.

“Shit, sorry. I was just…having an existential crisis.”

“Ah, so you must be the girlfriend, then.”

“Yep,” you answer automatically. After five years, that response was ingrained into your frontal lobe. This would have been the first time you answered no.

“I’m Maria and I’m gonna be your nurse this morning.”

“Morning?”

“It is…” she checks her smart watch, “5:04. So early morning.” Her chipper tone gives you cognitive dissonance. “I’m just gonna take some blood, just to monitor how his organs are functioning. Unfortunately a tiny amount of fentanyl can wreak havoc.” 

“His organs are failing?”

“No,” she answers firmly, going so far as to round the bed and pat you on the shoulder before putting on latex gloves. “He’s young and it's his first OD. He could bounce back quickly, but a coma is the body's last ditch effort at keeping itself alive. He’s lucky.” She gives you a knowing look. “I can recommend some great treatment programs, now that he officially has his Substance Use Disorder diagnosis.”

“Um.”

“Maybe we’ll tackle that around breakfast time. Now why don’t you hold onto his hand.” She ties a purple tourniquet around his bicep on his left arm while you gingerly take a seat. “Mhm, go ahead,” she permits, completely oblivious to the war raging inside you.

“Does – does it help?” Your left hand quivers, half an inch above his, close enough to feel the heat.  For some reason, you expect Dami’s skin to be cold too, like a corpse. 

“It can be difficult to find a good vein after an overdose.”

“Are his veins damaged?”

“We didn’t find any evidence that he was using intravenously. Unfortunately hypoxia, A.K.A. oxygen deprivation, is a result of –”

“Will he have brain damage?”

“You’ll have to ask the doctor that question.” 

“Does Narcan hurt?”

“No, but he’ll probably have a headache.”

“Does overdosing on fentanyl hurt?”

“It’s heavily sedating.”

“Would he know that he was overdosing?”

“Depends on how experienced of a drug user he is.”

“I’m pretty positive that this is his first overdose.”

“Then probably not.”

“Would he be scared then?”

“You’d have to ask him.”

“Would he be afraid of dying?”

“Honey, hold his hand.” Maria pats you on the shoulder as you finally set your palm against Damiano’s. His skin is warm, as always, and he feels sturdy. The sensation of his hand in yours brings back so many memories that you’re fighting not to drown in them. It's strange, him not responding as you squeeze down. Dam loved to talk about marriage, how the ceremony would go, the reception. You’d debated matching rings. Now you watched the blue line of his heart rate on the beeping monitor.

“Okay, all done,” Maria announced, smoothing adhesive labels over vials of blood. “The doctor will be in shortly and – oh.” She freezes, then presses the call button.

“Is he okay?” Your heart falls from your chest to stomach, out your ass, and lands on the linoleum floor. 

“Yep, looks like he’s coming out of it, actually. Stand up,” Maria requests, pulling on your arm. “Make sure you’re in his line of sight. Waking up on life support can be quite disorienting.” Damiano’s face looks the same, but then his pupils move under his eyelids. You’re the first thing he’ll see and that pressure is impossible to bear. 

“I can’t! I’m so sorry.” You rub your eyes then stand up, grabbing your purse and overnight bag. Maria doesn’t protest. She lets you leave in a flurry of movement and tears, throwing the door open so forcefully that it hits the wall. Once outside of the hospital room, you immediately feel compelled to go back. Dami had never done anything to warrant being left alone at such a pivotal, terrifying moment. You knew with absolute certainty that if the roles were reversed, he’d have never left your side.

“Okay.” You take a deep breath upon re-entering the hospital room, holding Dami’s right hand in both of your own. “Okay, I’m here. What now?” 

“We wait,” Maria answers, as a doctor enters the room. There's the medication given, vitals taken, brain activity analyzed. The waves on the monitor become closer together, then more drastic. Medical personnel may be accustomed to it, but the rapid beeping elevates your anxiety.

“We’re bringing him up out of it gradually, so he doesn’t hurt himself,” narrates a young doctor. “Mr. David will have regained a level of consciousness by now. Probably thinks he’s dreaming.” How would a person not startle while waking up with a tube in their throat? It’d been almost three months since you’d last seen him, but if you thought about it that way, you’d just run. Instead, you imagine that you’re waking Damiano up from a bad dream, even though it was typically the other way around.

“Will he recognize your voice?”

“Of course.” The response comes out defensive when you didn’t intend it to be.

“Talk to him.”

“I…okay.” You lean down, getting closer to his ear. “Dami, it’s y/n. It’s y/n, I’m really here. It's me, baby.” That last word gets stuck in your throat. It’d be so long. How many messages had you missed? He must have tried to contact you.

“I’m sorry, I haven’t answered. I don’t know the right things to say. I don’t know if saying something is the right thing.” Maria and the other nurse in the room are looking at you with a bit of judgment, but the doctor is focused on the monitors.

“Great. That’s great.” You raise a shaky hand to Damiano’s cheek and brush your thumb back and forth.

“As soon as I heard, I got on a train. I still think about you everyday, even more than when we were together. Hopefully you won’t remember any of this, me babbling on. I’d call it pathetic, but you wouldn’t like that.”

“Page whatever respiratory therapist is on call this morning, please. Thank you.” For another couple minutes you wait for improvement, signs that your boyfriend still existed in this body. The doctor is enthralled in what appears to be unchanging information to you, and administers another dose of something. 

“I always thought it was kind of sudden,” you confess. “Damia, if you can hear me, come towards the surface.”

“He can definitely hear you. I’m Dr. Williams, by the way, or just Paul.” The young physician never breaks focus. “Common misconception. If waking up from sleep isn’t instant, why would waking up from a coma be,” he chuckles. Damiano’s hand twitches at the wrist, like a muscle spasm.

“He just moved!”

“Mm-hm.”

“Is everything okay?” Ethan exclaims, having walked in while all your focus was elsewhere. Someone herds him into the hall and closes the door. Then Dami squeezes down on your hand, properly, like he intends to. His eyes flutter and you feel his presence enter the room.

From the story of Nurgle Fucker to the definition of love

The Great Unclean One and a human witch had a child that was half demon and half human. The preface to Nurgle Fucker Passport begins with this unforgettable legend told in the End Times. Every Wiki says, "For the sake of your sanity, don't think too deeply about it," but do you think mortals can stop thinking about how to somehow leave proof of their existence and connect? This rare case is a gift of possibility that Nurgle gave to a girl who dreams of fucking a supernatural being.

The unclean semen of the god kept the future mother healthy, regardless of her impure constitution, and designed a strong child that would at least repel weak diseases. Even if the witches were constantly using magic and medicine to nurture living things, this is an unthinkable result for the Nurgle family, who have the image that everything is made of pathogens.

The Father is happy to display the proud tapestry of decay and filth that is the result of his followers turning the cycle of life and death like a pedal sewing machine. In other words, he gives them bodies that do not die easily, worn-out sensitivity, and a warm euphoria, and lets them wander his garden and the world, standing on the cusp of all end times, treading blindfolded. That is the end of entropy.

Rather than destroying people, Chaos mutates them, giving birth to mutants who live in suffering or have no previous sentience. The most simple origin of Nurgle's hobby must be from here. The sperm of the Great Unclean One, which is modeled after him, functions normally so that such pleasure lasts longer.

Rather than giving the Maggot King Tamurkan strong limbs, he cursed him to be able to assert himself only in a rotting corpse. Just like how Kayzk, who offered his soul and body before accepting the disease, was given a deformed rotten flesh without any blessing, with no maggots or pus coming out of the scars (see the Total War model). Kayzk "the Befouled" can be interpreted as either a celebrity-like meaning or a truly hopeless meaning, so when I think about it, my thoughts rot before my brain does.

As expected, the lively half-breed Orghotts Daemonspew was not recognized by his grandfather, and for a long time he wandered around the garden, hating even the plague-bearers who worked in the garden, and cultivating mortals in order to be recognized as a demon. In the end, it seems that Nurgle is experimenting with how much the mind can endure a robust body, or a body that no longer has anything to fear. Just as we give a small amount of food to prolong hunger, is love made in the same way, or is it love that moves the rotten flesh after the body is offered?

I haven't been able to read the novel yet because I can't buy e-books in my country. It would be dishonest to talk about it from what I've heard, so I'll have to carefully read the two codexes I have for the Death Guard, but for now I'm going to enjoy my favorite Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos. There's a book version of Pile of Shame in it.

I really love those servants of the god Nurgle. I was going to talk about nsfw /reader stuff, but I ended up talking about my serious thoughts on Nurgle. I'd like to talk about that later, or rather, I'd like to delve deeper into the emo of Tamurkhan and Kayzk. Before I get bored.

GUESS WHO

(before i start, metal family is originally a russian cartoon on youtube that was dubbed in english. its about in not my words “the most unhealthy healthy family ever” like the name suggests, music is a huge part of it. in later episodes there are a few trigger warnings that apply but the shows pretty good! and honestly has a lot of agere potential but)

(also i wanna drop, i was thinkin about this earlier but i like to think that nezuko is perma-regressed or close to it. she almost constantly acts younger than she is, and honestly i think it could be a way to cope with her bein a demon, and maybe it could suppress demon urges with baby urges. (like being comforted, sleepin, lookin up to someone) anyway now im thinkin of tanjiro just carryin her around like a baby when shes in her little form)

-no because your so right, i was thinkin about the zeff one and let me raise up your raise up:

zeff raised sanji, and this poor boy has a crazy amount of trauma, at the time of meeting zeff was pretty fresh too. now zeff watchin this boy grow up in his teen years, only to realize that “hey, somethings off sometimes” that zeff recongized arent sanjis regular trauma responses that zeff knows, zeff paying more attention and whys the kid not talkin durin food prep? sanji has a big mouth how hasnt zeff noticed that before? or how sanji would sometimes stand a little closer to zeff than normal, or when the customers ask sanji a question some days, he’ll look and find zeff before answering. or how his eyes would full up with tears before bein forced away like the kid refused to cry. and oh, this reminds him of the eggplant right when they started the baratie, just a bit more sensitive if the tears & fist clenchin has anythin to say about it. (later he opens one of the psychology books he got a little after he adopted sanji, and finds “age regression” and it all clicks.)

i feel like zeff wouldnt treat sanji different when hes obviously feelin little (aside from basic care just to make sure sanji doesnt hurt himself) he wouldnt treat him like a burden or annoyingly like a baby. i feel like that would make sanji feel terrible about himself, so just the normalcy even when hes little encourages him that its okay, hes still helping its okay, no one cares that your biting your nails after zeff just told you not too. zeff wouldnt tell sanji he knows that he age regresses, and sanji doesnt tell zeff hes little. (but sometimes maybe zeff, on days the baratie isnt as busy and they can afford to work slower, zeff likes to subtly do things to make the eggplant regress farther. just enough to where he can still work and not be extremely overwhelmed, while still helpin sanji cope) (it goes well, the other chefs never catch on to this, thank irene am i right)

-sanjis definitly the kinda kid to regress if he ever gets sick. hes not used to bein sick as it is, and i feel like due to this that when he does get sick, he gets *SICK* like bedridden type shit. he totally makes someone take care of him, “oh chopper you wanna do somethin else? too bad! hes sick and hes makin it everyones problem.” “oh nami you wanted to come check up on his while chopper managed to slip away, oh well you just sealed your fate, that boy is clingin to you like big sanji has never done before.”

the baby is cryin because he wont stop coughin and its givin him a headache, only to cry harder when chopper tries to give him cough medicine. hes screamin cryin because he feels icky, but hes also cryin because now he has a sore throat.

-ive seen some people say that sanji probably wouldnt throw many fits or have many tantrums, and i agree with that, but oh my irene let that kid have a tantrum, let him whine and cry and make the crew scramble to fix the problem, as a treat🫶 let him cause baby mayhem, let him create disarray, hes never done a bad thing in his life, lets get that number to one shall we?

(-zoro givin lil sanji a sip of his booze because sanji wont stop askin,

sanji takes one sip, and then promptly spits it out, zoro just laughin his lungs out.)

OKAY THATS IT, this was gonna be about lil zoro too but. sanji took it over, wow im never on track with these, f plannin lets see what happens, also wanted to ask, where are you jn one piece rn? i wanna make sure i dont spoil ☹️ (im in post timeskip — punk hazard) i try to leave these asks/rambles ambiguous to the time period because i know you only take pre time skip, but sometimes i think i make it a bit more specific so sorry just in case)

and i hope your doing well too, make sure to take breaks and everythin for yourself, mental health comes first, and thank you for the prayers �� right back at ya

📷

:D heyoh friend!

~See you get it! I always thought that with Nezuko. Especially felt this after the red light district when Tanjiro’s singing is what stops her from loosing control.

~Things are a lot easier to process as a toddler simply looking up to Tanjiro to take care of her.

~But also baby space Nezuko, being swaddled by Tanjiro. Confusing everyone at first because- why does Tanjiro have a baby???

~Maybe she was regressed when the attack happened and that’s what lets her change her height/age as a demon. <-random idea anyways

Okay One Piece now

~~~

~I started a long time ago a fic with Zeff figuring out that Sanji regresses. It ended up being kind of dark with other unhealthy coping mechanisms included. Anyways sharing because I have always loved the idea of Zeff just, getting the chance to look after his little eggplant again.

~Idea: Zeff calling Sanji baby eggplant when he knows the boy is regressed without realizing, and Sanji just panics for a moment because- ‘oh hell Zeff hasn’t called me that in years. He knows! No he doesn’t. Yes he does!’

~“oh chopper you wanna do somethin else? too bad! hes sick and hes makin it everyones problem.”

<-

Jdjodbsjbdj oh my gosh XD Luffy too. They would both be so dramatic. Imaging them both being sick and regressed together. The mopiest and clingiest babies ever.

And poor Nami. Can’t even properly pry off Sanji without feeling bad. She has to just resign to her fate of getting sick from the baby.

~No I agree. Let him be fussy and inconsolable. As a treat :3 ( <- coming from the regressor who would also like to throw a tantrum sometimes but can’t) Too many big emotions that are too hard to process.

~Also Franky teaching him how to throw a “proper” tantrum. And Robin using her devil powers to catch flying books and objects thrown across the room, to make sure nothing breaks so that Sanji doesn’t feel bad after, but not exactly stopping the little. Just letting it run its course. Scribbling over the page of a coloring books and snapped crayons and ripped pages.

(<- Has too many ideas, can you tell?)

XD honestly I do the same thing. My brain is all over the place always.

Story time to answer your question! I watch one piece with my mom, as it’s her favorite anime. Currently I am at water seven although I’ve seen enough spoilers that I belive I can write most of the main crew with reason. Not the first time I’ve written fandom blind/ character blind and no ones called me out on it yet >:3 (I have about 15 or so fics on ao3 for a fandom I never watched a single episode for)

Usually watch an episode or two a day but the hyperfixation of this series called the Andy Griffith show has taken over One Piece right now so I will be on water seven for awhile longer. But feel free to mention any characters really, I’ll still do my best to comment on them :D

Hi 👋🏼. I would like to hear about Sagittarius Moons. If you don’t mind. If not that’s totally understandable. Take care 🌸

I’ve always been interested in sagittarius moons. I’ve seen that sagittarius moons and suns actually have similar personalities; I think this is because the moon is not super compatible with this sign, and one will always overpower the other. However I don’t think that makes this a bad placement to have. I know someone who has a sag moon and he loves to travel, he’s very physically active- he plays sports and spends a lot of time at the gym, and he reads a lot of books -specifically history and fantasy. When he was younger he was called “the little philosopher.” These people have VERY active minds and imaginations.

This placement has a lot of positive traits including a very literal positive outlook on life. Sag is ruled by jupiter which is thirsty for knowledge, intellectual stimulation, expansion of the mind, and wisdom. These people ask a lot of questions and don’t just blindly accept the answers they’re given. They dig deeper into “truths” because they are searching for the bigger picture, yet because they are so focused on the big picture they can easily miss smaller details that can point them in the right direction. sooooo if you’re a sag moon, it’s important for you to slow down a bit when searching for answers/solutions. Take a step back from yourself and reevaluate the situation.

They are like their sister moon sign, gemini, fast paced, quick witted, honestly a little chaotic, and have this attitude of “do whatever you want, i don’t care,” or “I’m just gonna do me.”Sagittarius moons are drama queens, but if you tell them this they will (dramatically) tell you why you are wrong. This is a fairly stubborn placement even though they are so open minded because once they find the belief system and ideology that they relate to, they won’t let anyone deter them from it (except for themselves). Maybe stubborn is the wrong word, instead i should say they are strong-willed and confident in themselves. They go according to their own agenda, and, honestly, no one else’s schedule would benefit them the same as their own.

In a relationships, I think (especially paired with sag venus) people with this placement will love to be challenged. Not necessarily on everything, but a healthy amount of debate will keep them on their toes and help maintain a lively relationship, platonic or romantic. Someone who will always be willing to go out or try something new and fun will be perfect for them.

These people start to feel depressed when they feel restrained, disrespected, or that they have reached a complacent spot in their life (work, relationships, etc). To this i recommend going out with friends or being physical (sex tbh) maybe try something new like roller skating, rock climbing, yoga, fuck it even go for a run if you don’t normally do that. Taking a class or reading a book that teaches you something new will get you intellectual stimulated and help you hop out of your rut. These people can be very impatient and can lose hope when things stop moving forward, even momentarily.

Philosophy is going to be a major outlet for this placement, and a healthy amount of it will help them maintain or develop an optimistic outlook. Being ruled by jupiter, sagittarius craves expansion, and in the moon placement it becomes expansion of the mind and challenging their own thoughts. I think this trait can make them very susceptible to substance use. This moons sign might want to see just how much they can use to reach a new area of their mind, to uncover something hidden in their own thoughts, to expand and break the boundaries. i know this is not the coolest to say… meditate (shout out to J. Cole). The feeling of expansion, serenity, and discovery that comes with using….. also comes from intense meditation. Granted meditating is much harder than doing a bunch of drugs (SHORT TERM), but sagittarius moons are always up for a good challenge.

anyways sag moons are fucking cool. best person to have a fun day and a late night with. Conversation is never boring and they have such vibrant and wacky energy. They know how to laugh, how to set aside seriousness and just goof off. When the time comes they will put their serious hat back on and get shit done, but they understand life is better when you can laugh at yourself, your pain, just fuck around and waste time.

sincerely,

a sagittarius rising 😎🤙

Feast Your Eyes: Fandom Cookbook Recipe Review #10

IT’S RAW - Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy, Lean and Fit

Tonight’s menu: sourced from Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy, Lean and Fit

Starter: Chilled Pea and Coconut Soup

Main Dish: Coronation Chickpeas

Dessert: Chocolate + Avocado Mousse

Full review under the cut!

(and updates on the future of this series!)

Update:

While this series originally started as fandom cookbook-exclusive, my visit to Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas (and subsequent purchase of one of Gordon Ramsay’s books) has opened my eyes to how restrictive that requirement was. While I’ll definitely continue working out of my collection of fandom cookbooks— there are plenty of recipes I still want to try— I’ll be branching out to other books and maybe even the internet. I love cooking, and I really enjoy sharing it with people like you. Thanks for sticking around as long as you have! (And if you’re new, I hope you stay awhile if you like this review!) While I’m far from a professional chef, food has long been an inspiration for other forms of my art, and this summer has really cemented its place there.

Other changes to this series will include reducing the amount of Chef Leuci’s logs (they’ll still show up in more fantasy-based reviews, don’t worry!) and a different review scale for dishes like the ones I’m serving tonight (similar to the original review scale, just lacking the ”Immersion” rating). Again, the more fantasy-based reviews will remain the same.

As my next year at SCAD draws closer, I’m excited to start using this wealth of experience in my writing and comics. Thank you for tuning in.

Enough chatter out of me— let’s get to the main course!

Starter: Chilled Pea and Coconut Soup

RATING:

Difficulty: 4/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 19/20

This dish… was something completely different than I expected. In a good way. It’s a very thin soup with a HUGE amount of ingredients. It made seven servings when the recipe said it would make 6, and I’m serving 4 people. Not complaining, though, everyone enjoyed it, and it seems like it’ll be good hot or cold. The flavor is super complex— every ingredient NEEDS to be in there, or it doesn’t work nearly as well. It’s delicious, full of vegetables, and the nuanced flavor makes you want to eat slowly in order to really experience it. Also, the thinness of the soup is absolutely deceiving. It’s super filling. It only loses one point because of the sheer amount of vegetables we had to chop (big thanks to my dad for helping out, or it would’ve taken forever).

Main Dish: Coronation Chickpeas

RATING:

Difficulty: 4/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 19/20

Before you ask, this loses the same point that the soup did. Lots of vegetable chopping. That’s not a bad thing by any means— I love vegetables (and enjoy chopping them too), but for someone less experienced, I think it’s important to note that and reflect it in my assessment of the difficulty. Anyway— this vegetarian (we made it vegan) take on coronation chicken was incredible. I’ve never had coronation chicken before, but if it’s anything like this dish, I’ll probably enjoy it. This is a salad, served cold, made up of cauliflower, carrots, chickpeas and green onions, with a yogurt-based dressing (which I mixed myself) mainly flavored with curry powder. While, as I’ve said, I normally despise cauliflower— I think I’m learning to like it. Between last review’s wings and this delicious, crunchy salad, who knows? Maybe I’ve just had bad cauliflower all my life.

Dessert: Chocolate and Avocado Mousse

RATING:

Difficulty: 5/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 20/20

This mousse… was incredible. Like, when I told my partner what I was making for my family tonight, she was skeptical of this (as was I, a little bit.) but WOW. Simple, only four ingredients and an hour in the fridge, and it sets right up just like a normal chocolate mousse. I didn’t use raw cocoa powder, so it was a little bit on the dark chocolate side of the taste profile, but when we actually ate it, we put a little bit of Coco Whip (not pictured) on it— the sweetness of that picked it right up. I’d love to make this again, maybe with some raspberry or orange flavoring added— it was rich and decadent while also being surprisingly healthy. Only vaguely related: I got this really cool tool for opening an avocado that removed all of the danger of cutting yourself open while trying to get that tasty tasty green mush. Thought it wouldn’t work, since it was $3. But it was super effective, and I’m looking forward to making something with that second avocado we’ve got on the counter… I love avocados. 🥑

Tune in this Friday (8/2) for my next recipe review!

If you read all the way down to here, thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Presenting a fan character for @newapocalyptia 's New Apocalyptia world-building, writing, theoretical TV show, thing. (Go check it out, it's really good). All images made in https://www.heroforge.com/

This is Jane "Giant Slayer" King, also known as Giant Jane, a joke about her short height. She/Her, Transfem, Bisexual. The apocalypse trope she stems from is Godzilla/Pacific Rim - basically giant monster apocalypse. She was very young, roughly 4 years old, when the apocalypses hit. Her parents were rich paranoid doomsday preppers, and when the apocalypses arrived the three of them trooped into the bunker they'd had built. They stayed there for the next 12 years, with no idea what the surface was like. Slowly, the isolation began taking a toll on them all. Eventually, her parents grew violent with each other, and she took the bag she'd packed with food and bottled and left into the wasteland. A few years later, she gained a small modicum of fame after using an anti-aircraft gun at an old beat-up military base to shoot down a gigantic floating jellyfish monster that turned everything it touched to stone. She took the barbs and fashioned them into a sword, which retained their petrification properties. Since then, she went on to become a full blown monster hunter. Alongside her trusty sword, which she mostly uses against human/humanoid opponents, and a dart gun with darts coated in toxic blood from a mutated monster, she has a vast inventory of more specialize weaponry (wanting to avoid turning monsters into stone because then she couldn't salvage them) mostly made out of the parts of the various monsters she kills. She also kept a small journal on the different weaknesses and abilities of the monsters she encountered. With the help of the Den of Snakes she made photocopies and began selling them, alongside her signature hair dye. She claims the dye is made from the blood of slain monsters, but this has never been verified and is generally regarded with mild skepticism. She lives and sells out of the military base where she first brought down the jellyfish (The corpse is still there, alongside statues of the idiots who wanted to see if it still petrified things), but she has extensively renovated it.

Jane is a hardcore thrillseeker/ drenaline junkie. She fights the monsters because she enjoys it, and will sometimes begin to complain or grow despondent when she goes too long without word of a monster. She's fairly humble, rarely using her reputation for anything other than marketing her book and her hair dye (The latter bearing her winking face on each bottle). The isolation of her formative years has made her very socially awkward. Additionally, she hates being alone for more than a day or so, and whenever she goes for too long without human contact she travels to the nearest village and just spends time, drinking, carousing, flirting, and such. She has had quite a few lovers, but none ever amounted to anything more than one night stands.

Relationships with the rest of the cast! (Unofficial, of course)

Marian - Normal, healthy respect. Totally normal. No crushes here. 0%, none, not at all, you-can't-prove-it levels of attraction felt on Jane's part.

Sal - Knows him by reputation. She sent him packing when he came by asking for some "samples" of some monsters she killed.

The Owl - Not very familiar. Spoke to him in passing at the Den of Snakes.

Sunrise - Jane helps her whenever asked. Has more than once shown up on Sunrise's doorstep with injuries from fighting a creature.

Cannibal Jack - Friendly but extremely cautious.

Glipix - Jane brought down an alien spacecraft under the impression that it was a monster and she and Glipix got into an argument that escalated into a standoff, before Sunrise intervened.

Percy Adder - On fairly good terms. She convinced him to hook her home base up to their power supply by saying she was helping protect people, and by photocopying and selling her book, she'd help people protect themselves.

Bunny and Tucker - They've spoken on occasion, comparing Bunny and Tuckers descriptions of demons to the monsters and samples Jane had hunted/collected. Jane doesn't necessarily believe in demons, but she also doesn't disbelieve. She maintains an attitude of "Who can tell?"

Killjoy and Nashville - On good terms. She's helped Killjoy with various things, usually either attempting to kill Sal or killing monsters that wandered near the Shark Mutants home.

LOTUS - She sometimes seeks out and participates in it's deranged competitions. She never really takes it seriously, and usually manages to make it out relatively unscathed.

(Any unmentioned characters are those she doesn't know) (Sorry for the long post, but thank you for reading to the end :D)

Hey, since in a recent ask you mentioned potentially adding a Aki x Lat x MC poly in book 2 I wanted to say firstly I wholehearted support this as choosing between them when they are both so dang wholesome is the worst and they also have a cute dynamic both with each other and the MC so I think it would totally work. But that being said I think with Aki being so inexperienced both with romantic relationships but also seemingly with just normal health social relationships you do need to go about it super carefully. In my own experience poly relationships need to be super equal and have really good communication. And I feel like if do you want to add that relationship you need to make sure to set it up early right because otherwise if we romance Aki or Lat in book one then start a poly in book two it makes the third person be a bit of a third wheel who is coming into this already established preexisting relationship and especially in the case of like romancing Lat in book 1 then starting the poly in book 2 with Aki like this would still presumably be Aki's first relationship and her first experience being joining a preestablish relationship as a third feels vaguely exploitive. Like you can mitigate that to some degree by how you write them and their interactions but even still for it to feel real or like relationship that would actually work long term I think you need to set it up in book 1 and either have a separate slower burn romance with them both wherein nothing more serious happens until the poly or I think limiting the poly to those who romanced Aki in book one would also work because she's really the part you need to be most careful with how you write given her inexperience. That isn't to say you absolutely can't have book 1 romanced Lat MC start a poly with Aki in book 2 you can but its just I do think you need to be extra careful if you want it to feel like a real healthy stable relationship that would work long term. Like I said I wholehearted do think a poly between them could work and I hope I didn't scare you off doing this I just wanted to add some thoughts based off my own experiences.

Also I've a separate question on a completely different topic, so I know you've said we for sure won't surpass BK or BQ in in the books but I am curious since some of what you have said about why we won't surpass them seems focused mostly on the seer amount of experience and time they have had to grow in strength could the MC given a decade or two eventually reach them or surpass them given even longer?

Also also sorry for any spelling or grammar errors I tried to proof read but my brain is terrible at doing that so chances are high there are more than a few I missed.

Don't worry- I feel relatively the same on the poly aspect of it. I'm very likely not adding a third route in Book 1 for romancing both, I think (at least, not anything directly), but my idea has always been that it'd be a poly dependent on romancing Aki in Book 1, that'd be the only way to be able to get Lat in a relationship as well. Aki needs a little experience with things first, before she starts considering if she wants something more.

I appreciate hearing your thoughts though! I've... definitely never been in a (well, consensually, anyway) polyamorous relationship myself, so I'd be flying relatively by the seat of my pants and what I manage to read about the dynamics. I am definitely thankful for knowing how people with more experience than me feel or think about these things.

As for your second question, it's... a bit more complicated than that, but I'll try to make it a little short:

The Broken King and the Blitz Queen both started off stronger than the MC- as in, their base powers before training were of a higher 'tier' than the MC. That already establishes a gap, but then you have the fact that the two of them had each other to train with as well, meaning that they had a direct challenger through which to better themselves, something the MC doesn't at the moment.

Then you come to the matter of experience. The Blitz Queen, compared to the (current, at least) MC lived in a more unsettled time, which I think we can all agree on. She had to fight more often, and had her powers for longer than the MC (she got them as a toddler, basically), which means she started growing stronger than the MC from earlier.

Then add to that the fact that she had 50~ years to further grow in strength.

Now, consider all that for the King as well, but add the fact he's been using his powers every single day since the Queen died.

All this combined means: Catching up within a decade or two is most likely impossible because the starting gap is oh so huge. You might become someone the Queen or King would have considered a worthwhile companion, but you're definitely more the... say, Piccolo to the King's Goku, or the Sanji to the Queen's Luffy.

Other than Ronin who already answered this, what’s everyone’s favorite subject?

FATE: You're looking at mostly ELA kids, here. Me, Enzo, Seth, Cora, Vera- I think I can speak for all of those assholes, but yeah. We were always the best in English. Though Cora also really likes history. You can probably tell.

SETH: i mean im not really all that interested in anything!! i like cooking and playing keyboard, i get options for stuff like that in the future but right now its just,,, eh?

ENZO: pretty on the mark yeah but i used to prefer gym for a while cause like physical dude

ENZO: but i dont think my actual swordfighting skills account for anything when im playing volleyball with annoying mean girls who keep giggling instead of playing the game

ENZO: or when i get hit in the face with a rubber ball which has actually happened a LOT

ENZO: to be honest i think im the only kid that hasnt died during the mile except nahla cause former track kid

SETH: I HATE THE MILE.

FATE: Can't imagine how the mile would be with people with boobs. I am so sorry. I'm lucky I didn't evolve.

FATE: It is horrible though. It should be considered actual torture - dammit, I know excessive amounts of cardio isn't actually healthy for kids who don't do it all the time! I don't want to break my muscles.

FATE: I'm not looking forward to gym next semester.

LILY: i loooove biology! math and ela, too, but bio is my favorite

LILY: or general science! i love taking care of plants, i actually have like fourty at home! they all have names!

LILY: like why do you think i evolved into a leafeon? honestly i think growing plants in third grade awoke something in me.

LILY: its really fun, but i do have trouble focusing on stuff sometimes. im kinda daydreamy hehe. i really need to get my grades up :( maybe ill see if i can join one of vera and fates study sessions. working next to other people i actually like and commentating in a funny way helps me do it faster.

DARIN: i dont like anything :((

DARIN: maybe i should get into sports thatd get me into college no problem itd be so much fuckin easier than this

CORA: You do have it in you, Darin. I believe there's untapped potential in academics.

CORA: I've seen the way you talk about anime and shows you like. There's an actual brain up there, as much as you work to prove otherwise. I'm very proud.

DARIN: AY WHAT THE FUCK CHIEF

NAHLA: WOOOOW, You're allll nerds, huh?

NAHLA: Yeah, I'm in the camp with the traitor, sorry! I don't really like anything, but gym's cool! I like track and stuff, and I do like hitting annoying girls in the face with balls! Coolkid's just a coward and cant bring himself to hurt anyone. Pffft.

NAHLA: No worry! I'll do all the hitting for you guys. Someone has to!

CORA: Oh, Nahla, baby dear, may you hit Wade first? He's been getting on my nerves in second period lately...

NAHLA: Anything for you, honey sugar sweetie baby crystal dreamy dear! <3

NAHLA: Regardless of our totally real romance I just need an excuse to punch him anyway. Or throw balls at him in general.

ENZO: BALLS you say

RONIN: okay posts over before enzo makes another dick joke and cora and nahla start gay fucking on the table. im a little oversensitive right now, fate screaming is just going to make me kill someone. maybe in like an hour guys, wrap it up.

VERA: I also take a lot of art classes

VERA: I would like to get better at traditional because I would like have to have less reliance on stabilizer use

VERA: And doing things like ceramics is fun

RONIN: thanks, v.

VERA: The sentiment is appreciated but when have I not "got you" in your words

RONIN: never, v. never.

Questions for Problematic/Villain muses || Accepting!

6. Do they automatically assume certain people are lesser than them

Yes. This is literally all he does. The 'certain people' is pretty much everyone. Bane has had a god complex since he was six years old, and surviving both Peña Duro and venom only supported his theory. He has said out loud and on panel that the only men he considers equals are Batman and Ra's al Ghul. He also generally assumes that men are bottom-feeders, but that is very much a byproduct of being raised in Peña Duro -- compounded by coming directly to Gotham City and observing if not personally greeting and beating only the worst men in power there. This view softens incrementally the more Bane socializes with men who are not completely terrible. And while he tends to be more readily patient with women and femme-presenting people, his god complex still applies. Bane is extremely self-righteous and has lived through an absurd amount of things that should have killed him. Whether or not he likes you, he almost certainly thinks he's better than you, in some capacity. If he is fond of and humble or gentle with you, it may be because he respects you on an equal level, but it is much more likely that he just assumes you would be afraid of him otherwise.

10. Is a healthy relationship (platonic or otherwise) possible with your muse?

Maybe. Bane is convinced he is fearless, but this extends only to his corporeal self. When it comes to his mental state, and his emotions, he is notoriously selective on who and what can do him harm, and he is quick to back away or overreact to unexpected cracks in that armor. Bane would never think of it this way, but he is very much a victim of abuse and neglect; He lives in a world in which he only feels safe in two places: Wayne Manor and Solitary Confinement, and the former isn't a guarantee that he won't get hurt, it's just a promise that he won't be killed. The preference is heavily weighted toward the latter option. Bane does not mind being locked alone in the dark anymore, because he's learned it is the only place he's ever had complete control over what happens to him. Because of his lack of trust for his safety and the security of anything he cares about, when he does care about something, he tends to get extremely controlling, paranoid, over-involved, and domineering. It would take a lot of time, and patience, and trust to make Bane a healthy partner, and he'll never stop being afraid of losing what's his, especially because he cares about so little. The two things that scare him most are love and loss, so, if he ever gets to a place where he can learn to accept fear as a part of life instead of feeling like he has to kill it to survive, maybe.

12. Does your muse have a reason for their misdeeds or is it all for pleasure?

Almost none of Bane's criminal activity is done for pleasure. It's why he refused to go to Arkham, on the grounds that he is not criminally insane. His shameless self-indulgence is fighting Batman, because he finds it challenging and therefore his understanding of fun, but everything else is a job, or a means to an end. His pleasures are generally fairly normal things. He likes books and chess and wine. Outside of the casually murdering people and the one time he was totally down to wipe out 99% of humanity to rebuild the world with his smoke show milf wife, he's actually pretty laid back.

Common Cause of Dental Problems and Dental Solutions:

Dental health significantly impacts the overall health of a person. However, we will be healthier, if we spend the necessary time to ensure that our dental hygiene is optimal. Adding simple extra dental care steps to your day-to-day routine can better your overall health.

Cause of Dental Problem:

It is critical to practice appropriate dental hygiene to keep a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums. It gets tougher in today’s lifestyle. We all think we need to give extra time to maintain our dental health. But we can make it simple by booking a yearly dental checkup to take care our dental solutions.

Calcium intake is critical for dental health for various reasons. Lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, a bone problem marked by a loss of bone density and weakness. When osteoporosis affects the jawbone, it can cause the jawbone to become too weak to effectively support the roots of teeth, resulting in tooth loss.

 Dental Solutions-How to avoid calcium shortage:

To avoid calcium shortage, the average adult should take a considerable amount of calcium each day. If you don’t like calcium-rich foods like dairy, kale, or spinach, try taking a calcium supplement every day under proper medical guidance.

Your body is not capable of absorbing Calcium if you have Vitamin D deficiency. Hence Vitamin D is needed to keep calcium levels normal.
