#treats for 🦕

[quinnysnursery]

hihi, so happy to see you back!! missed you lots, congrats on graduating!!

i saw you had requests back open again, and i was wondering if you could do preferences for the caregivers with a very sensitive little who practically cries at everything, is painfully shy, and needs comfort and reassurance 24/7 :(

-🦕

[🪄] the cg's with a sensitive little! | preferences

including : matt, chris, nick, nate, tara, johnnie, jake, carrington, sam and colby

divider credit : @v6que

a/n : i KNOW i had one other preferences post and i literally searched my entire account and can't find it, so ig it's lost media now 😭

MERA your writing literally feels so damn smooth, literally let’s a movie play in my head. I have moments where I remember your scenarios weeks later, they are that good. Your talent is so real omg. You are one of the best wordsmiths.

🦕🩵

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! σ(≧ε≦σ) ♡ omg this is such high praise!!! I'm so so SO happy to know my writing could paint such vivid, movie-like imagery in your mind. And to say I am talented and a best wordsmith...... WAAAAA I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!!! T^T <3

ooc: Today I became unhinged in a dnd session. It's a Pokemon one.. my character decided to go unhinged lift a bad guy over the shoulder and threw them into the ocean. She also has a snag'em machine and has tried to commit a crime. But one I assume admins saw her and well... they have an interest in her. She was threatened to not tell what happened. She told the police anyway. She does not fear what happens.

this made me miss 💜🦕 anon :( hope she's okay <3

While you are here, I want you to take some time to support my friend Nader Al-Anqar and his family @abdalsalam1990. They have been living through a year of war, and need help purchasing food and medicine to survive. Nader father Ahmed has cancer, and needs expensive medications to treat it. Nader's young niece has been suffering from malnutrition and illness as well.

Please support Nader and his family. They have only raised €11 in the last 5 hours, and they haven't even reach a third for their total goal. Please share and donate, support them however you can! A donation of just €10 might not seem a lot to you, but it would make a HUGE difference for the Al-Anqar family.

Pregnancy? 👀 Headcannons? 👀

Please say more.

((Also Hana I'm waiting for two of my asks to be answered wwraaaaaa 🦕))

I love how you guys always enable me 😂🤣💞💞

Apologies Anonie, I have a bunch of asks and I’m also a hoarder 😆 💞 it takes me a while to answer asks because: adult with low energy levels, sometimes I want to think more on an ask, some are quicker to answer than others, the muses have attacked me, etc. etc.

Curious though 👀 which other two asks? Was yours? I don’t think you labeled them with a “🦕” before 🤔 also do you want that as your name? (Unless you’re off anon, then that’s fine if you’re too shy or something 💞💞🫂🫂)

Hopefully in the meantime, these hormonal filled thoughts will do 🫡💞🫶 In hindsight, this is more horny than pregnancy headcanons lolol

Okay so these pregnancy headcannons are in a specific setting.

It’s in the past. (Are we surprised? 😆) You are transported before the fae vs human war. Meleanor and Levan are alive. Lilia is the Right General. And you? You are pregnant. (Think sometimes during first trimester)

You live in the castle with everyone the first week or so, but you’re not comfortable there. While there’s no war, not everyone looks favorably on humans. So, you were sent with Lilia to his cottage. Yes, that cottage. It was a gift by Maleficia to him for becoming the Right General. She gave it to him earlier since you arrived.

The cottage is different from what you remember. It’s not a home yet, but becomes one as the days pass by.

Lilia becomes accustomed to this peace with you. He’s nervous on how to treat you but he gets used to it. You are a big help calming his nerves.

(UTC for nsfwish, the real horny/hormonal thoughts, so stay away if uncomfortable. Also this is cliched but it’s me sooooo….lolol)

You’re pregnant and you’re horny. Great Sevens, are you frustrated. You pout and try not to let it show. You don’t want to make the General uncomfortable. He’s stubborn and it’s already hard on him with this whole situation.

The fae didn’t know that he could love for Great Seven’s sake! How could you tell him that you wanted to have sex with him? That you were hot and bothered and that he was the one making you this way. Those damn muscles. That sleek figure.

But he knows something is wrong and he asks you and you just…break down. Crying. Saying how you’re just sexually frustrated and you don’t want to hurt his feelings.

Lilia stays silent before plucking you and carrying you to the bedroom. He’s not blind. Do you know the restraint he’s had? You? Someone who loves him? Someone who treats him with such gentle touches. The one that can read him like a book. Whose smile haunts him even in his sleep?

Great Sevens, he was getting jealous of his future self because he has you. The current him? Had to hold back in respect for your wants and comfort. But then you tell him, you wanted him this whole time? His restraint? Gone.

He takes you to the bedroom. Lays you on top of him. You’re staring at him with wide eyes as Lilia tilts his forehead up against yours. Eyes half mast. Corner of his lips tugging upwards.

One hand slips into your hair and the other on your hip. “Go on. Show me. Teach me how to please you.”

He moves his hand and you gasp at how hard he is. You move your hips against his in the pace you prefer as he cups your cheeks. Swallowing your moans. Devouring you.

He won’t allow you to over do it though. He’s still hyper aware of the baby and he’s going to restrain himself back…after a round or two…

He going to make sure you eat and hydrate after for sure. Then both of you are going into the bathtub to soak.

I can see him even call a healer the next day if he left too many marks on you or he’s worried.

Some other domestic moments I thought of included:

Eating a strawberry and it leaves a stain on your lips. Lilia tilts your head up as he kisses you, “I’m addicted to your taste. Take responsibility.”

Shopping at the fae markets with him. You’re covered in a cloak, concealing you’re a human. The vendors are making fun of the General. He’s with a companion? That’s new. Come General, no need to be shy.

Lilia never thought he would want a family. A part of him even now still is confused. But to know in the future, he changes his mind? He can’t help but feel this hope, this yearning. And that surprises him even more, it’s something he’s always wanted but denies himself. During these moments, he just wraps his arms are you. Wishing for time to move quicker, so he could be in the present time with you.

As you see Anonie, this was more horny while pregnant than wholesome pregnant headcanons…whoops 😂😂 but as you can see, well you probably already knew, I am very not normal about him and I need him like I need my vitamins. Daily. 💞🫰🥰

the groupchat is used almost every single day, they always try to check in on each other. rosa likes just sending random pictures and updates about her day 

the boys ask for a picture of ollie (cole and rosa’s kitty) almost everyday, wanting to see their niece.

they like to have at least one sibling trip a year and it's mostly rosa who is planning it

family game nights are their favorite thing ever, they are all so competitive with each other so sometimes it gets a little heated but its all lighthearted 

sibling sleepovers and camping trips is a must 

the boys are always arguing about whos jersey rosa should wear to their games

they have so many inside jokes 

the boys all created private twitter accounts just for her (and most of their friends did as well)

quinn helped teach her how to drive 

rosa gave quinn one of her stuffed animals to take with him to vancouver so he could hug it wherever he misses her

rosa texts him every day! 

quinn helped rosa find the perfect apartment for her

their contact names: 

jack’s for rosa: d1 brat 🦖

rosa’s for jack: smarty pants 👧🏻

jack and rosa not only grew up as siblings but also as best friends 

jack is very protective of rosa, and he never treated her differently because she's a girl, he would often get upset at his friends in school that didn't want her to join them playing because she's a girl, he was always there to defend her and tell them that she's better than them anyway, so he'd rather play with her. 

jack was always chasing away the boys from her 

out of all the siblings they definitely get into the most arguments, they are so alike that they just clash sometimes. They are always quick to forgive each other, but it was always those two

they couldn't sit next to each other during car rides as kids because they always ended up fighting

jack always made her help him with his homework 

jack loves to tease rosa, but he really is so proud of her 

jack made rosa promise to him that she would never fall for one of his best friends 

rosa honestly hated when her ‘friends’ told her that they had a crush on jack, because most of them only wanted to be friends with her to get to jack 

jack loves just randomly showing up at her apartment for a visit 

jack is very dotting, and acts much older than her then he is (affectionately) 

these two are very mischievous together, they got in trouble the most (jack usually dragging her into it) 

they are often mistook as twins, always being told how similar they are 

jack always tries to get rosa to introduce him to her female castmates 

he hated when she was away to film as kids, he would not be like himself for a little while 

has gotten in a few fight in hockey because some players can’t keep rosa’s name out of their mouths

rosa was always there to help him with his homework

rosa is the first person luke goes to when he's upset or needs someone to talk to

luke can do no wrong is rosa’s eyes, even if she witnesses him do something wrong, she will always be on his side 

luke would miss rosa the most whenever she went away for acting 

rosa’s nickname for luke is stink

they always sit next to each other during movies because they always share snacks and luke doesn't complain when rosa wants to cuddle. 

luke is very protective of his big sister, he's always there to defend her 

whenever luke would get scared he would always sneak into rosa’s room to stay with her, and she would always try to distract him from whatever was scaring him so he could peacefully fall asleep 

luke always get so flustered and proud when anyone comes up to him because they know hes rosa’s brother 

rosa loves spoiling him and praising him to no end (thats her baby)

they are also mistook as twins a lot 

luke picked up on a lot of rosa’s quirks & habits 

rosa is his favorite and vice versa 

luke called Rosa to come to New Jersey to help him decorate his and jack’s apartment because jacks decorating is ‘terrible and never deserves to see the light of day’ 

threatens to steal her kitten almost everyday

Here’s some positivity for systems without friends!

Forming and maintaining friendships can be a daunting and challenging task for many folks, plural or singlets alike! Some systems may find it harder than others to make and keep friends. Not having friends may make your system lonesome, but you are still valued, special, and worthy of love and respect just the way you are. This post goes out to all the friendless systems out there!

💠 Shoutout to systems who form new friends easily, but often lose them for any reason!

🐬 Shoutout to systems who are aplatonic or who have individual headmates who are themselves aplatonic!

💎 Shoutout to systems who feel too weird, awkward, or different from others in order to make friends!

🦋 Shoutout to those who only make friends within their own system!

📘 Shoutout to systems who want to make friends, but whose disabilities often make maintaining friendships extremely difficult or impossible!

🦕 Shoutout to systems who have to rely on themselves for support due to not having any friends they can lean on!

🗣 Shoutout to systems who have been called “difficult,” “off putting,” or “high maintenance” by potential friends!

🪁 Shoutout to systems whose struggles with depression, anxiety, or emotional regulation make it challenging for them to keep friends!

💙 Shoutout to systems who genuinely don’t know why they are unable to hold on to friendships in their lives!

🔹 Shoutout to systems whose members are not friends with each other!

🌀 Shoutout to those who developed their system as a way to cope with the loneliness of not having friends!

🌌 Shoutout to systems who are happy and comfortable with not having friends in their lives!

Not everyone is capable of having and maintaining friendships in their lives, and that’s okay! If your system often feels lonely or isolated due to not having friends, please know that our heart goes out to you. We hope that very soon you will be able to establish a connection with someone that will last! And if not, know that you are still deserving of peace, joy, and comfort in your lives. We are wishing for you a hopeful future filled with happiness and self-acceptance!

Please do your best to treat yourself and your system with gentleness and compassion today. Not having friends is in no way a poor reflection of your character. You are beautiful, cherished, and unique just the way you are, and you belong in both your system and the plural community as a whole! We care about you and we hope that things get easier for you soon. Thank you so much for reading, and have a lovely day!

hihi!! 🦕 anon here, thank you for liking my ask about the triplets(and nate omg a cute little surprise loved it!!) reacting to their little saying not nice words!! ( ^ω^ )

but now i am genuinely curious to see what you think cg!chris would put his foot down after you said he rarely puts his foot down at all towards you(which is practically the truth he is 100% the fun and chill caregiver)

i feel like he’d put his foot down when it comes to his little refusing to take a bath or his little wanting to stay up all night bc at the end of the day i don’t think he’d let his little one become absolutely stinky or be absolutely cranky bc they didn’t get enough sleep!! i also think he obviously would NOT let his little skip a meal. he would be very firm on making sure that they ate and drank enough for the day!

-🦕

HIIHIIHIII O/

i agree that he would put his foot down for selfcare/health related stuff, probably saying something along the lines of

"sweet girl/boy/one, i know you don't want too but dada is telling you this is best for you. okay?"

but I also think he'd put his foot down if you were playing with another little and having trouble playing nice/sharing!

"princess/prince, if we can't play nice with this toy it's gonna be put away."

with limitations ofc! he'd never take away your comfort item/would understand if it was because the other little was being too rough with your toys!

[dinomites]

imagine i make retcon her cr/k au where she is still in the magic school but the TBD is aware of something that she isn't. and was like "hey we are hiring you lol"

Hi, Hani.

It’s been 367 days since your debut already and I can’t believe time flew by so fast.

Every time I think about you, I get so happy that I got to meet the lovely human you are, with cat eyes and cat personality, a soft beautiful voice, designed lips, an amazing sense of humor and the gentleness that only you can transmit.

Every time I think about you, I get so sad that you’re not promoting with the members and enjoying your time with briize as you should be.

Honestly, my emotions are all crazy for a long time now. I can’t quite imagine how you are feeling with everything that has happened. But I hope you are staying healthy, eating well, resting, doing things you love and enjoying time with loved ones. I hope you’re treating yourself and staying safe and well so you can come back to us as fast as possible.

Until then, we’ll keep fighting for you to come back. I don’t intend to give up ever. Until I get to see you standing on stage with your beautiful smile again, I’ll keep waiting.

Happy 1st anniversary, Hani. This day is yours, too. It’s for you to celebrate with us. It’s for you to remember all the time and effort it took to be where you are now. You are so talented, so dedicated and so kind and I know so many people take that for granted.

But I also know that are many like me, people who cherish and love you, also. You deserve to congratulate yourself and be happy today, too!

Even though we’re apart for now, I hope that we’ll be together on the next anniversary, creating many happy memories.

I love you. I miss you. And I’ll be waiting for you, for as long as it takes.

Riize, happy 1st anniversary! I love you with all my heart, my seven! 🌬️🧡🧋🪨🦌🫧🎸💂🦕

"Formula" baby food for ARFID age regressors 🍼🥤

I'll make a better post with progress pics next time I make some, but I wanted to post about it quickly, since it was such a success.

My small (@bunnnybcy ) has ARFID, which makes it very difficult for him to get much nutrition, and I'm always trying things to make health accessible to him. One way to make "scary" foods accessible is to make them cute or baby-like. This recipe is sort of a "base model," a warm and sweet treat that can be altered later to increase their fruit & whole grain consumption.

Equipment you'll need:

Saucepan

Stirrer

Measuring cups

Stove or hotpad

Blender

Sippy cup or reusable pouches (Link to reusable pouch example)

Refrigerator for storage

Sweet Cinnamon Formula Recipe 😋

Ingredients:

1 cup + 1 cup milk or plant milk of choice (we used vanilla soy milk) 🥛

1/2 cup plain rolled oats 🥣

1 tsp dark brown sugar, or to taste*

1 tsp honey, or to taste 🍯

Cinnamon, to taste

Vanilla extract, to taste

Steps:

🥛 Heat the first cup of milk in your saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat up to medium, or medium-high if you're impatient.

🍯 Stir in the brown sugar and honey, and continue to stir frequently until the milk starts to lightly boil.

🥣 Stir in the 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and turn down the heat to medium, if it isn't already there.

🥄 Stir frequently until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 5-8 minutes. (The longer you cook it, the smoother your end product will be, which is important for ARFID smalls.)

🆒️ Take off the heat, and let cool for a bit, until you're confident that it won't melt your blender lol.

Pour the oatmeal into your blender, add 1/4 cup milk🥛, and blend until smooth. Check the consistency, and continue adding milk in 1/4 cup amounts until your small approves of the texture. This would also be a convenient time to add more cinnamon, vanilla, honey🍯, or sugar, if they feel the taste is lacking.

Pour into pouches or sippy cups.

You can store leftover formula in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Other formula flavor ideas:

Strawberry 🍓

Banana🍌

Blueberry 🫐

Peach 🍑

Chocolate 🍫

Peanut butter 🥜

Apple pie 🍎

Pumpkin pie 🥧

Sweet potato 🍠

Notes for other carers of little ones with ARFID:

If your small one will tolerate it, adding nuts or seeds during step 1 will yield a more nutritious result, but some may not blend down. Chia seeds, for example, will remain visible and will feel like poppyseeds, which may be off-putting to someone with ARFID, even though they don't taste like anything.

Always remember to introduce new tastes and textures slowly, and allow them to try a new thing multiple times on different days if they're unsure about it. Unsure may just mean unfamiliar, and it'll take them a number of attempts to acquire a taste for it. Uncertainty is a good sign of a future "yes", but don't push them to finish a serving of something they're on the fence about; the pressure may turn it into a "no". Instead, give them the option of putting the rest away for later, and after some time, when they're ready, encourage them to try it again.
