Updated altar tour!!!
Hades & Persephone
Tumblr media
They share an altar! Not much has changed since i last posted a picture of it except that i added a bracelet, but to recap, they’ve got:
A raven and skull Halloween decoration
A bracelet i made with Hades in mind and hung around the raven’s neck
Red Crowley-ish sunglasses
A candle holder from the thrift store
A stone snake figurine thing
A geode(?)/sparkly rock
A bat plushie (named Marcel the Mycelium Bat by my friend)

Persephone’s offering bowl, a flowerpot with a crow(?) feather and a (now dead) flower
Vials of fake herbs (another Halloween decoration)
A poison apple spellbook Halloween decoration
A Hadestown magnet
A little red candle
Hades’ offering bowl, a thrifted metal bowl apparently made in 1978 (that’s the date carved on it at least) with crystals, coins, rocks, a key, a silver Beetlejuice bracelet, a button shaped like a cat eye, and a letter in it
Dionysus
Tumblr media
Not much has changed since i last showed y’all Dionysus’s altar, but they’ve got:
A satyr statue i made in an art class
A painting with colors i associate with them

Two pinecones
A big bead with eerily similar colors to the lesbian flag

Tumblr media
Athena’s hasn’t changed much either, but it’s got:

A fall-scented candle
A Kamala Harris magnet from The Female Power Project
Two little plastic trophies
A few blue stones
A puzzle
An offering of iced tea & lemonade that Athena didn’t really like but didn’t want me to take it off its altar and still doesn’t (i tried it and it’s really sweet but like in a bad way so i can see why it doesn’t like it lol)
Hermes
Tumblr media
Hermes’s altar has some new additions! I mainly got then because i wanna bring something from each altar with me to college that i won’t lose, and since candles aren’t allowed i got him something else, so now he has:
His candle (which I’m still obsessed with)
A wax doll my dad got me from a Voodoo practitioner’s shop on a business trip to New Orleans
A feather
A Newsies keychain
A marble
A tiny rubber duck figurine
Dice
What i think is Dalmatian Jasper but I could be wrong??
A couple more shiny rocks
A bracelet
A couple coins
A brand new statue (which is what I’m bringing to college)!!! It came with what I’m guessing is a little baby Hermes but I don’t really know, and a caduceus that I just realized he can hold
Artemis
Tumblr media
Artemis’s hasn’t changed much either, except for a few added trinkets, so right now she has:
A candle
An animal skull-shaped fish tank decoration i got from my friend’s yard sale (coincidentally the same friend who named Marcel the Mycelium Bat)
A silver ring from prom
A few rocks
A little crystal, i think it’s amethyst??
A Totoro figurine
A crescent moon selenite offering bowl
An acorn
A mug inspired by her I made junior year of high school with a crow feather in it
A gold crescent moon charm
Apollo
Tumblr media
I haven’t shown Apollo’s altar yet because he’s relatively new to the group of deities i work with/worship! He’s got:
A tall ass candle
A wolf plushie
A rainbow… thing, it’s too big to be a bracelet but too small to be a necklace so it’s his now
A gold plastic coin thing
A fake lavender-looking flower
A glass bauble charm filled with yellow glitter
My tarot cards
An award i got senior year from the music program (I scribbled out my name on the photo)
An HRC water bottle that’s kinda hidden behind the award
A couple rocks
A yellow plastic gummy bear

Aphrodite
Tumblr media
Aphrodite has a couple additions to her altar, too! We’ve got:
A drawing I made for her
A pretty little teal rock
Two shells
A tiny pink candle
A piece of a plastic crown from my high school’s production of Mean Girls last year, I have no idea how i ended up with it but here we are
A thing of blush (rarely used, i thought she might appreciate it more)
Coconut and pear-scented chapstick
A shell kinda shaped like a bowl with a pearly charm, two pink paper stars, and a tiny rose charm in it
Her offering bowl, a teacup, saucer, and spoon shaped like a flower, leaf, and ladybug respectively that was a graduation present from a friend!! While they’re not quite Aphrodite’s style, she still likes them on her altar because they were a symbol of platonic love!!
A bracelet in her offering bowl

All these anons just make me want to talk about Turkey more. What are your favorite Turkey headcanons? Personally I love to think that Sadik writes poetry in his spare time, and is very, very good at it.
As someone who ships Turkfra because of how fascinating the history between France and the Ottoman Empire is (Franco-Ottoman alliance) I like to think that they would both really bond over each other’s rich poetry culture. Not to mention their rich cuisines. Maybe they cook together in the evenings, or take turns cooking and surprising each other with elaborate dinners.
Youre so right
aph turkey hcs
- physically he's around 180cm, perhaps he had visible muscles during the ottoman empire period but he's mellowed out now and let a little softness take over his form. He put on a little bit of weight bc he's a sweet tooth but it fluctuates from time to time.
- definitely keeps cat treats in his pocket for the stray cats of istanbul!! and when he fishes he leaves a portion for the cats to eat!
- while he is a cat person and owns cats(one of them is named tombili 🥺), he also owns a few dogs too! he probably gets along with germany on that part(maybe korea? though korea owns the cute fluffy tiny dogs that feel the need to eat your face off when it makes eye contact with you).
- is a man of the kitchen. aside from cooking the most banger meals, he dabbles in tweaking recipes or creating new ones altogether! ive seen enough turkish dessert accounts on instagram to know he'd make a bomber cake with coconut shavings, or a pretty good custard.
- the coconut shavings are important btw they're like on every single homemade turkish chocolate cake for some reason??(source: baby tokki grew up with a lot of turkish family friends)
- sorry i have to do this but...he has mediocre drip 🥲 sometimes he dresses like your average old man or middle aged dad and then sometimes it's so obvious that he's trying to dress like the youngsters.. he def has his knockoff Adidas tracksuits and they always come in clutch
- he's not an old man however. he was born as one of the many tribes running around in the seljuk era before he eventually became the ottoman empire. physically...around his mid 20s to early 30s?
- and cuz he has turkish dad vibes...he regularly watches soccer games. like he lays down on the couch elbow propped up eating pistachios as he watches soccer in a Galatasaray shirt(actually turkish fans of hetalia pls tell me who hed be a fan of bc I don't regularly watch turkish soccer)
- regularly plays volleyball!
- life of the party at weddings tbh, especially those rural ones
- very hospitable! he'll arrange a table full of treats and black tea for you and won't take no for an answer as he brags about how hospitable he is.
- when you're at his house DO NOT EVER suggest getting takeout. he will stare at you with a >:0 face
- WILL spill the tea over tea. man's got enough connections to tell you abt who's cheating on who etc. while he has his whole spread of treats and black tea out he'll keep you up on everything. when he goes "Ok so basically" that's when you brace yourself because OH BOY is someone in a secret relationship with someone else and that person you'd always assumed was super shy actually sprinkled salt on their ex's backyard
- the ac in his istanbul apartment keeps breaking(good luck with that man 😔)
- that's why in the summer he spends a big chunk of his paycheck on icecream. bro makes sure to always have icecream stocked on him at all times(just like me fr !!). he'd even eat it in the winter he loves it that much.
- also at the same time he drinks hot tea in the 40-50 degree summer as well, another win for the turkuzbek fans !
- big into architecture, and back in the day it was custom to write a poem to commemorate a new building. he definitely wrote a few but spent forever thinking about how to write it and pissed a lot of people off because they were waiting for the poem lol
- i actually really like fraturk's dynamic! because theyve got a lot of history together, it would be terrible to ignore. i think they have definitely gotten together during the Franco-Ottoman alliance lol.
- one time the french wanted to flex on austria × spain by going "oh yeah??? well we got turkey!!" and commissioned a huge super ornate crown to gift to suleiman the great. see the funny part about this is um. the turks didn't wear crowns. so suleiman never wore it lol
turkey, holding the crown: uhmmmm... wall decoration I guess?? this is awkward
- the name "turquoise" comes from the French "turkish" to describe the gem. i guess that's a fraturk win??? since we all associate that color with turkey now
- they'd probably try to one up each other with the dinners they cook! (can france handle lahmacun??? tune in later today at 11pm to find out !!)
- coffee guy x tea guy with the whole parisian coffee culture and turkish tea culture thing. (except I mean. turkish coffee also exists so)
- I wanna think france tries to help turkey with his drip situation but. turkey always got that inner middle aged dad in him it's not going anywhere
- bulgaria likes going to turkeys place cuz the stuff there is dirt cheap ~~~~!!! rip the lira you would have loved economic stability
- speaking of bulgaria, bulgaria greece and turkey argue a lot over who invented yogurt. turkey thinks he's got a stake in it because of the etymology of yogurt(yoğurtmak), but like the bacteria to make yogurt is called lactobacillius bulgaricus, but everyone thinks of greek yogurt...yeah you can see why they're all arguing
- speaking of arguing he's ratioed saudi a couple times on twitter lol
- he also posts those ironic turk/turan copy pastas as well
- egypt kinda doesn't like him. during the ottoman empire turkey launched egypt to suppress arab revolts like a pokemon.
*putting down fingers* "the greeks don't like us, egypt doesn't like us, saudi definitely doesn't like us....bulgaria likes us cuz we're a cheap travel destination for them..." - my turkish business teacher in highschool, 2023
- gets along well with korea(uhoh BIAS incoming !!!) due to their history beginning from the korean war. the turkish brigade was the only military unit that built a school for korean orphans. there's a story of a soldier taking care of a korean orphan, but he wasn't able to adopt her. they were separated for years after that until one day they reunited. they'd also suffered the third most losses in the war. that's why we call turkey our "older brother country."
- there's even a turkish culture center in seoul(which baby tokki went to a lot lol). recently turkish kaymak has been trending since one of the top korean celebrity chefs paik joongwon visited turkey a while back to try food. people have been traveling to turkey to go to the exact stores and try those foods as well. there's a lot of kebab shops in korea! the turkish presence in korea was the starting point to accommodate muslims in korea as well.
- all of this to say korea and turkey have a mutual admiration and korea definitely calls turkey oppa or hyung. korea also tries to get him to change his drip but NOTHJNG CAN DEFEAT THE STEADFAST TURKISH MIDDLE AGED MAN RAAAH 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
- I've said it before I'll say it again: turkey cannot hold a normal conversation with mongolia because he'll always go "OH MY FELLOW NOMAD STEPPE ALTAIC BROTHER HOW ARE YOU DOING!!!" what???
- same with the central asians tbh given their nomadic history as well. he was the first nation to recognize all of their indepences fom russia. he gets along with turkmenistan a lot because they're the closest languages to each other(both in oghuz family) and a lot of turkmens go to turkey to study at their universities! the governments quite stagnant with their policies however, so turkey's having a hard time convincing her to join the turkic council as a full time member. they give me a gojo and megumi vibe for some reason lol
- kazakhstan 🤝 turkey: both having the asian/european identity crisis
- in terms of first meetings, the kazakh khanate and ottoman empire first established diplomatic relations in 1713, and along with uzbekistan, tried to seek turkey's help in the face of an expanding russian empire.
- nowadays, turkey and kazakhstan are the ones to both try to stir up that regional/turkic unity among the central asians. they've gained some small wins along the way lol. in fact, turkey, kazakhstan, and kyrgyzstan were the founding members of the turkic council! kazakhstan admires all that turkey's doing for them but sometimes thinks he's too cocky. actually all the central asians think he's cocky to certain extents lol
- bro gets along a little better with hungary now and that could be because of the whole "huns=turkic?" debate resurfacing in hungary which is why they somehow landed a spot in the turkic council as well???
uzb kaz kyrg turk azer @ hungary: white woman jumpscare,
- he and hungary regularly bother prussia whenever they're in germany lol
- scraps w the netherlands bc tulips come from him!!! not from Licorice Man!!!!!
- fluctuating relationship with iran over the years
- was a fanboy of iran during the seljuk empire until she joined the khwarazmian empire(uzb's mom lol) and then he hated her
- also close with: azerbaijan(who may or may not be his number one fanboy), japan
Here's everything I could squeeze out of my brain lol hope you like it!!
a good chunk of these hcs are by @peonycats and @hetalia-fannn btw!! sorry for not initially crediting u guys i forgot 😭

So RWRB is basically part of my identity now, I can't remember how many times I've seen the movie, and I'm on a constant quest of getting my friends to watch it too. And it's working!
But the thing is, my own younger sister, who's my literal best friend, the closest person to me, hasn't.
Her only exposure to the movie is coming in to my room on premiere night when I was watching it for the first time and tagging along for like ten minutes then leaving, coming into my room when I'm watching clips and watching along for a bit until I give her attention (she's like a cat) and hearing/seeing me very passionately rambling about it either on social media or out loud
She's not interested in romance like, at all, so this isn't her cup of tea, and I'm not gonna force her to watch something she's not interested in.
However out of curiosity, I asked how much she knows/remembers about rwrb from what little exposure she had. She started rattling off points that made me laugh deliriously, then asked if she could type it down.
So here's rwrb according to my sister, who has never finished the movie, nor read the book (she literally typed the list below herself which is why it's in first person)
enjoy! :D
henry's a prince and alex is fsotus
they met before once but it did not go well?
Henry and Alex see each other at a wedding and a big ass cake falls over
they pretend to be friends cuz PR
they text and/or email each other a lot
there's a children's hospital??? and they cram into a room???
there's a dog called David
turkeys in alex's room cuz thanksgiving
also sth sth insomnia
ok not a plot point but i rlly like how them texting was presented
henry's dad is an actor and he's dead
henry has a sister, she's nice
i rmb the name zara but i forgot what she specifically does (I'm so sorry)
new year's party. dramatic eye contact.
'oh I'm not going to sing karaoke' 'BURNING THROUGH THE SKYYYY YEA, 200 DEGREES THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MR FAHRENHEIT, I'M TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHTTTTTTT, I'LL MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN OUT OF YOU'
the room with red wallpapers and alexander hamilton, 'the book is very bookish', f in chat for security lady
henry walks out of the closet literally
there's this grey(?) room with a white marble statue and it was very emotional???
henry's a sad boi
i think they fucked or sth
also there was a lake?
the emails get leaked on reddit by this reporter dude (who i think Alex knows before???) during the election
alex gives a speech
alex's mom wins the election
henry wore a yellow tie or sth because texas???
a pride parade outside the palace???
at least in the movie they go to a house or sth
deleted scene but they were next to a campfire and henry was talking and sad and alex was listening
ok Meraki back hope you enjoyed that lmao

The eating contest cuz idk I thought it was a fun idea for this rowdy bunch of food loving adventure seeking skele-pirates
“Are we there yet?” Sans stomach growled. “I’m putting down anchor right now! How did we run out of food again?” Razz started preparing the anchor “A rat.” Said sighed “ We had a whole bag of rice left but he spoiled it”. “Fuggin rats. First thing imma do after we eat is buy us a cat! Yeah yeah I’ll clean it’s poops and stuff”.
After they anchored and lowered the plank they noticed a crowd. “Hey look” blue got exited. “ lol klook they have a whole three tables of food!” The crew was weary of strangers but had no choice as they were starving and haven’t eaten since yesterday.
Bear approached some guy with a microphone. “Dis an earring contest?” “Well it was but then one of the contestants ran off with their pirate crew and half the prize. We only have the food and a small pouch of coins left…” “my crew is interested… if we can also get a cat if we win”
One of the contestants from the local town backed out now that the big prize was gone, but three of them stayed for fun cuz they didn’t care much about the prize, and a nice pouch of gold and silver was still worth plenty. Razz want interested and of course cash wanted someone else from the crew to win them the money. Reds brother who’s name has left me met an old friend, undyne ( the original one) and her crew of fish men and went to have breakfast with them. They were frenemies and their crews still fought but undyne and I forget his name got along well. Stretch disappeared down an alley. He didn’t like crowds. Cinimon ennt to get a crack on his goggles repaired. Papyrus found the part of the festival thet was geared more at kids, and entered himself in a kite making and flying contest.
Sans wanted to join cuz he loved eating. Blue wanted to join cuz he was overconfident in himself. Bear entered cuz he was pressuring sure he could win, being so big and able to consume A LOT of food. Red entered cuz he thought why not and he was really hungry.
Cash snuck up to bear. “Ok buddy here’s the king and short of it. I know you can win this thing there’s no doubt no siree! If you win it for me l give you this vintage bottle cap! A genuine collectible worth more than gold! All you gotta do is win this. I know you got it in the bag. Go get em champ!” Bear took the bottle cap and crushed it in his hand and dropped it. “O-ok buddy I see your not interested in my offer… how about this rare snorelite stone ( not a real mineral). Yessir genuine snorelite-“ bear put it in his mouth and bit down and broke it into peices and spit them out while looking cash in the eye. “Scram”. Cash scramed.
“We have two visiting pirate crews with us on this fine mayfest day! We have the fish men! Competing in the tournament is the strong and hungry fletcherrrrrr! And we have from our skeleton pirates, red, sans, bear, and bluuuuuueeeee! And our other two reigning champs from our very own village……… Saul and nick! Whoever can finish eating Al the food wins this small uh…” the announcer diddnt look very happy about the small pouch he could fit in one hand.
Cash slink on stage. “Here lemme annnounce the prize. The contestants are competing for this ebtire pouch of assorted silver and gold! Silver! For when the merchant doesn’t have enough to give you change back ofr gold so you can pay in silver instead! And gold! The most valuable of them all! In this 100% recycled bag thst can be used again after all the coins are emptied out! And this cat. WHAT A STEAL”. He dropped the mic at tthe feet of the astounded announcer and walked off stage.
“Well uh you heard him. What a nice proze to compete for! And a free cat with your gold! And silver. On your marks, get set, EAT EAT EAT!”
Blue was the first. He ate an entire huge ass turkey and started on the second and then puked all over his plate and ran off to cling to papyruses leg and complain about his stomach ache. Red was second, but he stopped himself before he ate too much, as he mostly joined for free food. Fletcher for eliminated and had to be carried away as he was too full to move. Sans got sick and was eliminated. Bear out ate Saul. Nick and bear were head to head. Nick stopped and started yelling in pain. He let out a huge fart and collapsed. Bear finnished the remaining food (!) and lay down right on the stage and fell asleep. Nobody could get him to wake up from his food coma.
Razz took the pouch of coins and tossed it high in a tree to watch cash try and get it. “Now how about that cat?” A young man who smelled kinda funky got exited. “ OOO we have a whole house of cats! My house…”. “Nah I don’t want some prissy pet. I want a stray or something, a cat that can get the mice and and rats on our ship”. “Oh. We have a few stays who wander to my house sometimes. If you can take one he’s yours.”
Razz and stretch went to look for a cat. Stretch pointed one out he found in the alley. “No she’s preggo. Look ehy does would she be so fat. And look at her uh her chest. We can’t just leave her here either though…” they found a nice family who was willing to take on the cat while she had her kittens. Razz round one but he was very very old. The villagers were also very fond of him. Stretch found a puppy and a little girl for exited her dog had been found. Her mom scolded her about leaving the gate ajar.
Razz saw a lovely ginger cat. Lean and healthy. He went to pick beast up and he bit razz and walked off. “This cat!” “But he just bit you”. “Exactly. He’s a killing machine”. Stretch tried approaching beast in a friendlier manner and wa sable to pick him up to take back to the ship. Beast seemed right at him and went off to chase a fly and then killed it and ate it while razz gagged.
The end cuz I’m outta ideas for the story.

In My Life Chapter 20
Tumblr media
Rockin Around The Christmas Tree
By Brenda Lee
Thank you to my fab beta and friend Karen Bockius who is always spot on.  Sorry this chapter was late getting here.  I wanted to make it longer, but was strugglin a bit, so I found a good place to end this chapter.  Enjoy Christmas morning with Ross and Demelza!
*******
Ross woke with his arm wrapped around Demelza, and snuggled closer to her if that was possible.   He smiled as he remembered the night before.  They had made love one more time during the night, both unable to fall asleep and keep their hands off of each other.  It finally happened.  Not as he had planned, but as Caroline had said it would - naturally.  No big trips or grand gestures were needed.  Demelza came to him in her time, when it was right for her.  It was the most beautiful night he had ever experienced, because it was with her, his Demelza.  They had helped knock down the walls for each other and now they were one.  He was right where he wanted to be for the rest of his life.  Laying in her arms, protecting her from the hurts of the world, but standing back enough to let her be the woman of her fullest potential.  He felt this woman stir in his arms and roll over to face him with the content smile of a cat that had just lapped up a saucer of warm milk.  She stretched in his arms.  “Good morning my Demelza.”
“Good morning my Ross.  How long have you been awake?”
“Oh not long.  I was just laying here enjoying the memories of last night while holding you.”
“Mmmm, it was a beautiful night Ross.  Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.  And thank you as well.”
“I suppose I should get up and take a shower and get the turkey in the oven, and begin the day.”
He was caressing her cheek with the back of his fingers.  “I guess.  May I join you in that shower?”
Demelza smiled.  “You may.”  She started to get up and then when she realised that Ross would be watching her walk naked to the bathroom, she stopped.  “Why don’t you go first, I’ll meet you in the shower.”
Ross looked at her and gave her a questioning look, wondering why she said that.  “Okaayy.”  He threw the covers back and started to get up and then it dawned on him.  He smiled, “So you do realise that I’ve seen you naked now.”
Demelza smacked him on the arm. “Yes, of course I do.  Buuut you’re closer to the shower than I am, so you go first.”
Ross couldn’t help but laugh at this.  “Alright, I’ll go first.  Oh, I wanted to ask you, do you want us to open our gifts to each other alone, or with the rest of the family around?”
“Oh, I guess I hadn’t thought about it.  Let me think.”  She remembered one present in particular that she had gotten Ross that she thought should be opened in private.  “Umm, maybe in private.”
“Really?  Now my curiosity has peaked.  What did you get me?”
“You’ll just have to wait.  Now go get in the shower and I’ll be there in a minute.”
“Oh alright.” He gave her a kiss and started to walk to the shower.  He stopped, turned his head to find her watching his naked ass walk away from her.  He gave his toosh a little wiggle for her enjoyment and walked to the shower.  She couldn’t help but giggle at the scene.  
***********
Ross was letting the hot water bounce over his head when he felt her arms wrap around his waist.   He grabbed her hands and pulled them up to his lips and turned around to pull her in for a ravenous kiss.  He pulled away and looked at her.  
“You’re naked.” He smiled
“I am.”
“I’m looking at your naked body.”
Demelza covered her face.  “Yes, I know you’re looking at my naked body.”
“You can look at my naked body, if you lol want.” 
Demelza looked up at his face, and Ross’s eyes had that lustful look again.  Not knowing what to do, she grabbed the bar of soap and started rubbing it all over his arms and chest, soap suds going everywhere.  He turned around and leaned against the wall of the shower while she washed his back, purring like a kitten.  She was enjoying watching the muscles in his back move and flex.  Her hands moved down to his bum and thighs.  She was getting closer to his hardening erection.  Ross turned around to stare in her eyes and brought her in to hold her against his soapy chest.  Tongues and lips were everywhere.  Demelza felt herself sliding all over his body from the soap suds between their bodies.  She suddenly felt brave and her hand moved lightly over his erection causing Ross to flinch and moan at the same time.  “Oh my God Demelza.  I can’t….”  Ross reached up to turn the water off and picked Demelza up in his arms and carried her to the bed.
Demelza was laughing at him.  “Ross, we are both soaking wet!” 
“I don’t fucking care.  The sheets will dry.  Besides, I don’t want you to slip in the shower.”
He sat her down and threw back the covers to find a spot of blood on the white sheets.  Demelza gasped. “Ross, I’m so sorry.  Let me get these in the washer before it sets in too much.”  She started to move to remove the sheets.
Ross could tell she was upset by it.  “Demelza it’s fine. I was half expecting it.  It’s just a sheet.  I don’t care if it doesn’t come clean.”
“Well I do.”
Ross stopped her from ripping the sheet off the bed.  “Demelza no.  Please.  It’s really fine.”  He reached down and kissed her.  “I love you Demelza.  I want you, and I don’t care about those sheets right now.  Come here, love.”  Demelza hesitantly crawled back under the covers, to cover herself and to get warm.  
Ross gave her a small smile and crawled under the covers with her.  “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound cross.  You’re shivering!  Come here and let me warm you up.”  He pulled her closer to his chest and wrapped her up to get her warm.  “I wish that we could just stay here in bed all day, just the two of us.”
“Mmmm that would be nice.  But it is Christmas Day.”
Ross kissed her forehead.  “Yes, it is.  You know I’ve been planning this surprise romantic getaway weekend for us, for when we made love for the first time.”
Demelza looked up at him.  “You were?  And I ruined it with… us last night.  I’m sorry Ross.”
“There’s no need to be sorry.  Last night was perfect.  Besides, Caroline had told me that you wouldn’t want that sort of thing or that sort of fuss made over it.”
Demelza sat up, “Caroline!  You told her of your plans for when we make love for the first time!!”
“No!  I didn’t…..  Dwight did.”
“What?!?!  Dwight knows!  Bloody hell Ross, how am I ever going to face him again!”  Demelza was getting more upset by the minute now.
“Caalm down, it wasn’t like that at all.  I promise.  This is all coming out wrong.  Don’t you ever talk in confidence with Caroline about things?”  Demelza looked down like she had been caught.  “Well, that’s the same way it is with Dwight and I.  He knew that I had been worried and I told him that I wanted to take you away to someplace special with snow, like Switzerland, because you love snow so much.  That was one of the reasons why I bought that coat for you.  Well the night I took your gifts over to Dwight’s to wrap them, Caroline was there of course.  And she started putting two and two together.  Dwight blabbed to her about my plans and she said that you wouldn’t like all of that fuss.”
“You were going to take me to Switzerland?”  Demelza was softening up now.  
“Yes, I was.  I’ve never been there, but I imagined it would be beautiful with all of the snow.”
Demelza was starting to like the idea more and more.  “Well.  We could always still go.  It’s a very sweet thought and all.   That is if you still wanted to go.”  Demelza was smiling at Ross.
Ross started laughing at his favourite redhead.  “Of course we can still go!”  He raised up and gave her a big kiss.  “I love you!”
“I love you too!  But right now, I really think we should get dressed and get the day started.  Besides, I’m freezing up here!”
“Okay, but I want to open my Christmas presents when we get downstairs!”
Demelza rolled her eyes.  “How old are you?”
********
The glow of last night was making it hard for the new lovers to keep their hands off of each other in the kitchen.  Ross was attempting to fix breakfast while Demelza was trying to get the turkey ready to go in the oven.  A touch here, a caress there, a kiss here, a nibble there.  Before she knew it, Demelza was sitting on the table with Ross standing between her legs.  She had her hands at the back of his neck going through his dark curls, he had his hands under her top caressing her back while they were locked in a passionate kiss.  “Demelza either we go back to bed or I might just make love to you right here on this table.”  He growled into her neck causing her to laugh.  
“Ross, as much as I would love to go back to bed, we can’t, we….  Do you smell something burning?”
Ross started sniffing and then quickly turned around and ran to the stove.  The bacon that he had begun to fry was now black as coal and was smoking up the kitchen.  The smoke detector started blaring as Demelza ran to open the back door to let the smoke roll out the door.  “Fuck!  I guess I forgot about the bacon!!  I’m sorry, I guess I ruined breakfast for us.”  Ross went over to shut the smoke alarm off. 
Demelza was laughing at Ross, “Oh ya think Ross?  How’s the turkey?  Is it covered with smoke?”  Demelza was inspecting the turkey.  “I think it’s okay, but we best be getting it in the oven if we ever intend on eating the poor soul!”  She opened the oven door while Ross slid the bird in the oven.    
Ross was throwing the burnt bacon in the bin, “Maybe it would be safer if we just stuck with cereal for breakfast!  Demelza, I thought you said my mum was going to fix the turkey?”
“That’s what we had planned originally but she asked if I wouldn’t mind doing it.  Something about needing to sleep in.  I told her it was fine.  I’ve never fixed a whole one before, but she wrote down the instructions for me, so it can’t be that hard.”
“I’m not sure after that fiasco with the bacon we just had.”  Ross was back to pulling his love back into his arms.  
“That WE just had Ross!  You’re the one who was distracted and wasn’t paying attention to what he was cooking.”
“Well, my love, I can’t help it if you distract me so much that I don’t know what I’m doing.  Is it not your job to instruct me and keep an eye on me?”
“Oh Lord, Ross, that’s a full time job in itself!”
“Perhaps we should take our bowls of cereal into the living room and open our gifts.  Cereal should be safe enough!”
********
Ross and Demelza sat on the floor while they ate their Christmas breakfast of cereal and began to open their gifts.  Seamus was laying with his head resting on Ross's thigh.
Demelza handed Ross a box to open.  It was the blue jumper that she had bought.  Ross held it up to himself.  “Wow, this is very nice.  Thank you.  I don’t think I have a jumper like this or this colour.  I love the design that it has with the white running through it.”
“Well, I thought you would look very ‘andsome in that colour.  I don’t see you very often in blue.  Do you really like it?”
“Yes!  Yes, I do.  Thank you so much, love.”  He leaned over and gave her a kiss.  “Now it's your turn.”  He handed Demelza a box, wrapped in the same wrapping paper that her coat was wrapped in.
“Did Caroline help you wrap this one too?”
“No! I was able to handle this one on my own.  Can’t you tell by the poor wrapping job!”
Demelza grinned at him as she opened the box.  It was a matching brown scarf and leather gloves.  “Oh Ross, they’re beautiful!  They will go nicely with my new coat.”
“That was the thought.  Try on the gloves and make sure they fit.”
Demelza pulled on the cashmere lined, brown leather gloves.  “Oh Ross, they’re so soft on the inside!  And they fit perfectly.  Thank you Ross.  I love them.”  She wrapped the scarf around her neck and posed as Ross took a picture of her.  
Demelza handed him another box to open.  Ross ripped at the paper like a little kid!  He opened the box to find a scarf and a pair of black leather driving gloves.  “Driving gloves!  You know I don’t have a pair!  Thank you so much.” 
Demelza grinned, “I guess we had the same idea with the gloves and scarfs.  Sorry about that.  I really had a hard time figuring out what to get you.”  
“No! No, I love anything from you.  And they fit just right, and the scarf will be warm as well.”  Demelza took a picture of him in a cheeky pose.  Ross's eyes were as big as a child on Christmas morning.  Demelza loved watching him as he opened his gifts.
Ross gave Demelza her next gift which was a bigger box, “Oh Ross, I’m almost afraid to open this box.”  She carefully tore the paper off which drove Ross nuts.  She opened the box to find a pair of brown winter boots that were fur lined.  “Bloody hell Ross!  You really were planning on taking me to Switzerland, weren’t you!?”
Ross ducked his head down, “Yeah that’s what I had been thinking of doing.  A nice, little, snowy romantic getaway.  Do you think it’s barmy?”
“No, no Ross.  I love the idea.  It sounds very cosy.”  She reached up and cupped his face in her hands to kiss him.  “And I love you.  Thank you for everything.  The coat, the boots and the scarf and gloves.  I’ll be quite fashionable when we go out.”    Demelza reached under the tree for another gift for Ross.
“Hmmm.  It’s squishy.  Wonder what this is?”  Ross proceeded to rip the paper off and started laughing that gorgeous full laugh, mouth wide open, head leaning back.   He was laughing at a pack of Star Wars boxer briefs.  “Bloody hell where did you ever find these?!  They’re brilliant!”
Demelza was admiring her Ross.  “Oh you can get just ‘bout everythin on Amazon!  I thought you’d like them.”  Demelza got up to get the large gift behind the tree and handed it to Ross.  
“What in the world?”  He was giving Demelza a strange look.  This time he slowly removed the wrapping paper as if he was afraid to see what was under it.  He let out a large gasp.  “Demelza!  What have you gone and done!”  He looked up at her.  “Is this for real?”
“Yeah.”  She saw the way he was looking at the autographed poster of Mark Hamill, and she was scared all of a sudden that he didn’t like it.  “Do, do you not like it?  I can probably sell it back or put it on ebay if you don’t like it.”
Ross stopped staring at the poster and looked up at Demelza. “What?  Not like it?  No, I love it.  But it must have cost you a fortune.  Oh Love.   You shouldn’t have.”  He could tell that Demelza was nervous about the gift.  He stood up and gave her a big hug.  “You shouldn’t have… but I do love it.”   He gave her a kiss on her forehead.  “Thank you very much, love.”
“You’re welcome.  And it really didn’t cost that much, so don’t worry ‘bout that.”  Demelza started picking up the wrapping paper to throw away when Ross stopped her.
“Demelza, you have one more gift.”
“Wha?  I thought that was it.  Ross you’ve given me way too much already.  I don’t need anythin else.”
“Well, nonetheless you have one more gift, so sit down, please.”
Demelza gave him a questioning look.  Ross sat down on the couch next to her and pulled out a small box from his pocket.
“Ross!”  Demelza gasped.
“Now, calm down, it’s not what you think.”  Ross handed her the small  box.
Demelza opened it carefully like it was going to blow up in her hands.  Ross had a smile on his face, a sparkle in his eye.  When she finally opened it, she found that it wasn’t the usual ring that comes in such a box and she breathed a small sigh of relief.  But what she found was a beautiful silver necklace with a snowflake pendant that had diamonds in it. It was beautiful and sparkled in the blue velvet box.  “Ross!  It’s beautiful!  I love it!!”  She tilted the box to watch the snowflake sparkle with the design in the silver and the small diamonds that accented it.  It was perfect.
“Do you like it?” Ross asked.
“I love it!!  It’s so beautiful!  I’ve never anythin so pretty in all me life.  Thank you!”  Ross noticed her Cornish accent was coming out this morning.  
“Are you disappointed that it’s not a ring?”
“No, no at all.  We have time for that Ross.  I love it, and I love you.”  She leaned in to give him a loving kiss.  “Will you put it on me?”  She took the necklace out of the box and handed it to him and turned around and pulled her hair forward so that Ross could hook the necklace around her delicate neck.
“There.  Turn around, love.”  She turned around so that he could admire the necklace lay against her skin.  “It looks good on you.”
Demelza looked down at it.  She couldn’t keep from smiling and leaned in to give him a hug and another kiss.  Ross pulled her up to sit in his lap so that he could reach his arms around her better.  She laid her head back so that Ross could reach it easily with kisses.  This made him chuckle lightly.  “You like it when I kiss you here, Demelza?” he whispered.  She let out a slight moan.  “Maybe I should model my new briefs that you gave me?”  This broke the romantic mood and they both started chuckling.  
Demelza looked at Ross’s watch on his wrist.  “Well, I’m afraid the fashion show will have to wait until later.  I must get back in the kitchen and work on the starters for when everyone gets here, and the veggies to go along with the turkey.”
“Oh, alright, if you must.  Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Well you can pick up the wrapping paper and throw it away, and then check on the drinks.”
“I can do that.  And when I am done with all of that, I will come into the kitchen and ravish you until our guests arrive!”  And with that he leaned down to give her neck another kiss.
********
Forgive me for not including the lyrics for Rocking Around The Christmas Tree.  Hopefully most of you are familiar with the song.  I’ve included the pictures for Ross’s jumper that Demelza gave him and the snowflake necklace that Ross gave Demelza.  I’ve been shopping online at Mark and Spencer so much for this story, that I’m starting to receive their advertising!

I realized how deep down the consuming content rabbithole I've gotten. Again. I just turned on my Cold Turkey website and app blocks on my computer :) hooray! Next up: my tablet.
The issue is, that I'm uhm. Unwilling to do this. But I also need to. Firstly, I have to make sure I can't get into Stardew Valley. I have to set this up later. Also, Tumblr on my ipad.
But also, more upsettingly, I have to remove a lot of the downloaded content I listen to or read when I'm bored.
"But I don't want to!! What if I get bored!! What if I really miss that fandom space :((" this is what the fan in me is saying right now. But I don't want to be a fan anymore! I want to be a creator, and I can't focus on my art if I'm hyperfocused on being a fan.
Also, I want to force myself to interact with my community more. If I'm bored, well, then I can't just read a comfort thing or listen to something. I have to go outside or play with my cat, meet up with friends, feel the void encroaching closer and closer due to my choices. I don't want to be so numb and dissociated anymore.
When I want to read, I want to force myself to go outside, to a library. Ugh. I hate that I'm doing this.
...
I did it. I deleted the downloaded Contrapoints audios, the Buzzfeed Unsolved, my fave dubs of fancomics. Well, I kind of did it. I'm still trying to bargain with myself about fiction books. But no. They have to go.
I'm sorry Warrior cats :(
...
Ugh. Why does change have to be so uncomfortable?? A part of me wants to go full radical now 0-0 But I'll hold my horses. It's useful to annotate on an Ipad.
Next up, I have to remove access to websites that allow me to download new things from youtube on my ipad. I have to wait though, because to do these changes, I have to ask the person who has my password to modify ipad rules to do it :( (otherwise i would break them as soon as i got bored, lol - i have terrible resolve, especially at the start).
Until then, I'll just uninstall Stardew valley and Tumblr from my ipad.
...
I did it. All of my Stardew progress :(( but maybe i'll go outside now, lol. I'll go through my notes app now, delete any entertainment junk left.
...
I did as much as I could. I can't handle deleting 2 fiction books, though. I annotated them! And I'm in no hurry to reread so soon.
Now, I gotta get off the web. It sucks to be a person!!!!! Why can't I just be an entertainment-addicted money-machine forever :(((((((

i guess with age gaps friendships, it's better for both parties just to tell each other their age before the friendship properly start to develop because i support they got like a mini t&c given to them beforehand. that's understandable and fair but i feel like some ppl do that to tell if the other party will be a clingy friend or not. that's true and the cases where they keep in contact with everyone else but deliberately just do it to you is a real shitty realisation to acknowledge.
i think in those cases like that, the parties may find each other attractive too hence why they dive into a relationship so quickly or they just gel really well together i dk but i feel like it's a factor for some. she kept telling my family i have a surprise for z so when i came back, i thought she was joking. i would say 99% of ppl (including me) couldn't do that lol. it did worked for her, she's having her first child in May.
also, i saw your cats in mediterranean post, i went turkey last year and they were everywhere! i went to a McDondalds over there and a few kittens came into the sitting area outside but everyone was chill lmao. if i ever come off on anon, i'll prob just call you koko because i find that the easiest name to remember. ah i did recognise them including the gen one but not all of them. do you play gi?
ah some ppl are very laidback towards their names but it's interesting how much names play a role in someone personal/cultural identity. mine used to belong to a very specific group when i was born. also, finding out meaning of names is very fun. i suppose all this links back to psychology (?) to some extend.
agreed. that’s also one of the reasons i’m pretty open abt my age on here lol. the friend i gave as example has been aware the whole time too so
hm yeah understandable. yeah exactly, if you know everyone else is being ghosted by the person too then you know it’s not personal and stuff. but being the only person to be ignored really sucks
ngl i thought abt me & my relationships more bc i was trying to understand why you’d date/marry someone so soon and uhh. tbh. my qpp and i took a year and a half to label us as in a queerplatonic relationship (basically platonic partners. if things go well, platonic life partners :3 i would certainly marry him for tax benefits) but we clicked immediately so i’m starting to understand. a few weeks would def not be enough for such a big commitment like marriage but we p much were best friends like two weeks in and we only saw each other for 2 hours a week so... just immediately clicking and thus starting to date so soon actually makes kinda sense.
oh my god help this completely threw me for a loop first adhjdhf me & my friends are all so school focused i forgot that people my age and a few years above start having kids. omg. okay but congrats to her!! also very understandable i would’ve thought it’s a joke first too... like. a few weeks to get married is VERY unusual here lol
ohh omg life goals tbh. i love cats man i wish they’d swarm like flies here too adhjgdh ig it’s mostly a problem with stray cats tho :/ but it does sound like a nice experience lol
koko works fine hehe :3 yep, i’ve been playing genshin for over two years now! 26.1.2021 hehe. been slacking since last summer but during the first one and a half years i actually played it almost every day and i even picked up honkai tho i play that a lot less regularily. and i’m excited for honkai star rail!! which is gonna be released in just four days <3
oh oh very true yeah. i’m trans so i’m just not on the best terms with my deadname but i don’t care abt it that much tbh and i can’t decide on a new name so i just give people the option to do that lol. ngl i think the meanings of last names is more interesting... idk it has to do with your inheritage n that’s indefinitely more interesting to me than your parent’s naming choices but it is fun to talk abt name meanings! non-last name meanings definitely are linked to psyghology, especially if you choose them based on meaning yup. funfact my mom should have been named after ‘love’ but her parents accidentally shifted a line down when reading their book of names so now her name means something along the lines of ‘the one with an injured foot/leg’ which.... is not exactly a nice meaning lol but ppl don’t know abt it anyway plus it’s a pretty name so it doesn’t really matter. but it’s a fun little fact i think haha

I hope you’re having a great day Lena! I was just wondering if we could have any fluff facts about the shepherds as a whole! Like fun tidbits of how they interact with each other, what some of them do if they have the same day off, does anyone host weekly game nights?? I hope that makes sense! Reading the recent short story on Patreon I love seeing how the characters interact with one another and now I need moreeeeeee🙏
Ooh, great question! I’m feeling curiously tapped dry at the moment, so I’ll probably have to reblog this as more ideas come to me; I’m so happy you’re enjoying the short story, btw!! 💖
Some group dynamic headcanons:
Many of them steal clothes from each other. Briony wears a cute sweater of Shery's (she asked), Ayla gets cold so she just takes one of Red's jackets from a chair (she didn't ask), Chase gives Tallys his scarf one day and Riel corders Trouble a pair of gloves from a fashion line he favors because his old ones are holey and they get into an argument about it... This leads to some recruits mistakenly thinking that the captains are all involved in some sort of mass relationship because they keep walking out of each other's rooms wearing each other's clothes. (The recruits believe a lot of really dumb stuff, if you couldn't tell. They LOVE gossip. It's like a competitive sport in the compound)
There is a weekly card game night, initiated and organized first by Chase, but it grows bigger over time, with snacks, cakes, drinks, and new games being procured! I'd actually say it's more like every ten-fourteen days or so than on any set weekday, and is typically proposed by anyone who senses that they or others need to blow off some steam. They all tend to meet in a private common room and either just chill and play some card games and casually drink and listen to music, or they get LOUD and raucous and play more risque non-card games (like Question or Command/Truth or Dare). The loud nights are more like once a month or bi-monthly, though! They take place in the captains' lounge so dumb recruits don't get to join! It's rare that they're in there all doing the same thing, though: maybe half will be at the table playing card games while others will be broken up into smaller groups, say arm-wrestling in the corner or playing chess at the smaller table or reading, but they're all there! Game nights are almost never held unless everyone is there, which is extraordinarily difficult to schedule, but they all make an effort to make it happen--even those who first had to be dragged into it, like Blade or Riel!
Speaking of chess games, Red and Riel have a standing game where they complete at least four more moves every night that they're around and able to meet up after dinner. Planning their next move helps them both break up the monotony of the day, and it's something they enjoy immensely. However, whenever he gets called away on a mission, Red gets sick with worry that Riel's been cooking up all sorts of schemes while he's been gone, so sometimes on the road he has, like, a schematic that he doodles on trying to anticipate Riel's next move, and it's very nerdy and ramps up in joking Anxiety. Riel, graciously, goes easier on him on nights after he comes back from long trips, though he denies it
Similarly, Blade and Trouble have a standing training session once a week where they just beat the crap out of each other. This is generally where they do the majority of their talking
Briony and Ayla first had an agreement that they would get the other one up if they overslept (Briony tends to be the one who oversleeps while Ayla is better about being up at dawn, but Ayla is really grouchy if she went to bed late and Briony is the only one who can handle her), which morphed into doing runs and sparring together at dawn and having breakfast frequently!
The girls have a standing spa night once a month where they all get together in a room (usually Shery’s) and basically do sleepover stuff and relax and chat and catch up for a few hours. This also sometimes involves showing each other new outfits that they bought that month! Sometimes there are even group baths in the big common bath, but these are rarer because Shery is shy and Tallys doesn’t like sitting in hot water getting pruny
Chase and Trouble drag Red and Halek to go drinking with them around once a month; sometimes Blade is persuaded to go if Trouble can get the drop on him and punch him hard enough to wind him. It’s complicated
Riel and Shery, of course, have tea together once a week! You’re not allowed if you can’t bring a chill vibe (Riel’s rules). Tallys, Lavinet, Halek, and Red are occasional visitors; Briony is allowed on a good day. Blade would be allowed but he has 0 interest
Similarly, Lavinet hosts a weekly brunch, either in a courtyard or at some restaurant in town! Typically it’s a girl thing and Ayla, Briony, and Shery are the most consistent attendees, but Chase has snuck his way in there often, and Riel, Halek, or Red pop up occasionally!
Tallys and Halek cook together! It’s not all that often and doesn’t seem to have any set way of materializing--it just happens somehow--but they both very much enjoy it! Sometimes they cook dinner for the whole group and have a little dinner party that they both secretly get excited for! Sometimes Shery bakes the dessert!
Riel noticed that Tallys has a little garden that she spends time weeding, so he sends gardening tools or special seeds when he thinks she needs them and she leaves baskets of vegetables or vases of flowers in his office. All of this is done without exchanging a word
Chase sporadically teaches Briony acrobatics and things like tightrope walking, just randomly whenever they’re both idle. She teaches him how to gut people with bare fists and also sometimes they paint! 
Caine caught Red grazing in the pantry late one night and now it’s like a Thing where they pass each other in the kitchen and Red sort of just looks the other way re: Caine’s bedtime and what on earth he’s doing up so late and Caine doesn’t tell anybody that Red is just absent-mindedly eating a loaf of bread at 2 AM because he was too busy working to remember to eat dinner. It’ll be like, “there’s some turkey leftover from dinner in the cold box” “oh hey, Caine. thanks. ...so, what’s the news from the midnight watch tonight?” “i’m going to go hunt ghosts on the seventh floor with my friends!” “...okay! have fun!”
Lavinet has a monthly shopping trip where she updates her wardrobe, and it is very common for others to accompany her around the city and just shop while they drop! Common partners are Shery, Briony, Riel, Chase, and once memorably Blade, who didn’t know what he was in for!
Trouble and Ayla are wildly competitive and keep arm-wrestling each other for money; this becomes a bi-weekly sporting event that is eagerly attended and bet upon by third parties
There was ONE group karaoke night. ONE. Most of them got so blackout drunk that they swore to never do it again. Even now, several of them go green whenever they hear a popular bar song (“Don’t Piss Where You Plant Your Flowers”) being sung, especially badly
The game of "telephone" gets really bad in their group. It's like, Shery will say to Briony that she's worried because she thought Riel looked a bit peaky and feverish. Briony will say in passing to Trouble that Riel is getting sick and Shery is worried. Trouble will say to Tallys that Shery is worried sick because Riel is bedridden. Tallys will be mixing herbs and Chase will ask what for and Tallys will reply that Riel is sick, but because she's mixing herbs, Chase will surmise that the sickness must be quite advanced, and will later say, "Damn, have you seen Riel? Seems like he's really sick." Red will interpret this as "I have seen Riel for myself and have determined that he's extremely ill." At least four people will bust into Riel's room, expecting him to be on the verge of death, despite the fact that they saw Riel that morning. Riel will be fine and very annoyed at the intrusion.
They rarely go out as a group to bars and establishments outside of the compound (too chaotic as well as risky, for one thing, and also, recruits don't need to see their superiors like hanging out of bushes and dancing on tabletops drunk out of their minds, and also, "Mages can't drink" (lol)), but when they do deem it a worthy occasion (Trouble's birthday, say), the girls are very punctual when getting ready, and the boys are almost always extremely late due to various shenanigans (Chase forgot that he put a booby trap on Red’s door, covering Red with flour, or a cat somehow slips into Trouble’s room and steals, like, a detonator or an important key, and they have to go chasing it across the city). This has led to the girls coming late on purpose in order to even out their arrival, but mysteriously, this has only led to even later start times, meaning they often don’t get started until like 10 or 11 PM when the most well-intentioned souls meant to be in bed by midnight... that never happens, either!
One such night once led to them ending up on a ridge in the Sun’s Embrace, like a mile outside of the city, in order to watch the sun rise together, because hiking in the dark while blasted out of their minds sounded like a really good idea. They all made it, and the dawn was spectacular, but the moment was ruined when Tallys said softly, “It’s the beginning of a beautiful new day--” punctuated by Trouble abruptly throwing up in a bush and Riel just flat-out passing out

Hey girl! Love your blog btw, I'm new to all things Tomdaya. Wanted to ask about finding balance. Lately I've been so addicted to the Internet and just want to spend hours searching things relating to Z instead of doing my own homework or work :( It's not good at all and Im struggling lool I was wondering how you manage your time (if you do) and if you have any tips. Thanks :)
Thanks Anon! 😊
Good question!
I know for me personally, I like to have a balance in my life. I made a conscious effort at the start of this year to try to stop procrastinating so much in my life, and tbh I feel like I'm doing pretty well! 😁👍🏾 I'm getting more done, and I'm a LOT less stressed because I'm not procrastinating as much.
I've done MUCH better than I was doing last year. I honestly didn't feel all that good being online and on social media that much. It was starting to consume my life and I didn't like the feeling. 😩 Plus, I wasn't getting some of the things done that I needed to get done in my personal life. 😔
That's when I knew that I needed to make a change.
The easiest way to get rid of a habit is to just STOP cold turkey. It's a lot easier said than done, and the first couple of weeks are really TOUGH, but once you get on a roll, you find that it's really easy to continue with it, and you actually stop craving whatever it was that you were addicted to.
Now days, I just give myself breaks from tumblr or social media every now and then. It's REALLY refreshing. 😊
I also actually have a very active life lol, so I can't be consumed with Tomdaya 24/7. 😂 Honestly, ever since July 2nd happened, I've been SO CHILL about their relationship.....I don't worry about them at all, because they look sooo happy, and there's nothing to worry about, nothing to prove anymore, and nothing to have to think about. Lol 😆
Tomdaya 2.0 is waaaay more FUN (imo), chill and relaxed than Tomdaya 1.0 ever was lol 😆 🤣 And I'm talking about the shipping side as well! Now days I just wait for whatever tea comes out, and even if I'm late with seeing it, I'm not worried at all. I just smile and love to see my two favorite people happy together while they're out and about spotted together ❤
Honestly y'all, I have not worried not one bit about Tomdaya since the cat got out of the bag with that kiss last year lol 😆 😂 😅
Maybe you can put a timer on your phone for certain apps and only allow yourself an alloted time per day to be on it?
I had to do that with my phone earlier this year when I was getting into better habits.
Now days I don't even get close to the timer ending anymore because I don't spend half as much time on here as I did in the past.
Now that school has started back up again for me today, I'm going to be on here even LESS in the weeks to come lol. 😊😄
Try to find a hobby outside of Tomdaya/the internet/social media Anon. 🥰 I'm fortunate that I have a lot of really good friends and do a lot with them. This past weekend I went to a play with friends, went out to dinner with another friend, and this weekend I'm going to a graduation party and also the movies, etc.
Find some things to do outside of being online, on social media, or Tomdaya. You will feel MUCH happier, I promise you lol.
Like, don't get me wrong, it's fun to discuss Tomdaya and all, but Tomdaya isn't my LIFE. I don't suggest any celebrity being anybody's life. It's not healthy imo. 😔 They're out there enjoying each other and their lives, and you should do the same! 😊👍🏾
Just start limiting how much you go online/searching Tomdaya stuff. Start TODAY!! 😃Maybe tell yourself you're only going to devote an hour to them a day or smthg. You can start and stop your timer on your phone throughout the day.
That helped me a lot when I was finding that I was spending way too much time on the internet when I should have been doing other more important things. 😄
I hope that helps Anon! Feel free to send in another ask or dm me privately if you want more tips 😉👍🏾

tell us about turkuzbek in the modern day :0!!!
modern day turkuzbek has my SOUL anon ! gonna list all kinds of things off my head lol
- women's day in many post soviet countries are celebrated with guys giving flowers to girls as a token of appreciation(this could be family, friends, etc), anyways turkey hops on this and on march 8th uzbekistan opens her door to see an avalanche of flowers. buried under there is a pink piece of paper that says "you're my favorite woman ❤️🔥"
- as mentioned before, she invites everyone nearby to her house. these include the other central asians, as well as iran and afghanistan! turkey tho...he stays at a hotel. she's way too embarrassed to let him in(until later as shown in my latest fic)
- in those rare moments where she invites him to a family friend's wedding she can't keep her eyes off of him. bro is the life of the party and kills the dancefloor.
mother in laws that come to weddings to gossip and flex on others with their outfits: nargiza is that your man
- people that don't know she's a country assume they're married, so the shopkeeper at the local bazaar goes "oh i haven't seen him before congrats on your marriage!" and then she goes completely red
- whenever they go on dinners/banquets to talk diplomacy turkey always posts the photos and then calls it a "romantic dinner/date." she immediately comments "please remove the caption" to which he makes that the pinned comment
- he sends her pics of himself late at 12am elbow propped up on his bed shirtless. like you know like the fboy pic that says "noo don't kill yourself you're too sexy ahaha" yeah.
- in response she sends back a pic of her sitting at her desk doing paperwork at 4am with the caption "sleep because you're able to"
- they always cook at each other's houses. it's another way they spend quality time together. she always insists on adding less sugar to the baklava or şekerpare syrup("it's too sweet, you could choke!").
- when she goes to istanbul and stays with him for a while you BEST BELIEVE she's taking a thousand pics of the atmosphere and herself. she's not going to waste a single second. she also takes this time to buy a lot of clothes to wear back home(and also flex on those other aunties at weddings).
- she loves the kitties and resists the urge to squeeze them and bite their cute little ears(turkey saw her doing this with her own cat once. needless to say he was absolutely shocked). she does pet them and talks to them in a super high pitched voice. to turkey this is like gap moe
- he gets her to come out of her shell more. she wore a ribbon in her hair once to a meeting. he complimented her one time. now she wears ribbons all the time.
- he tries(and fails) to get her to drink just a shot of rakı. she refuses, both because she takes halal dietary restrictions quite seriously, and because she doesn't do well with drinks.
- when he's in the room with the other central asians and she wants to say something, she's not taking any chances. they're all speaking in russian. not all of them are fluent in tajik, and kazakh and kyrgyz is one of the languages he understands the most alongside turkmen. bro is left attempting to pick up bits and pieces of what they're saying based on his vocabulary stored way back in the ottoman empire 😭
- forced him into bukharan clothing to take a photoshoot when they traveled to bukhara.
- soft launches most of her photos with him lol. NOBODY is looking at her man for longer than a minute 😤
- he calls her petnames in turkish(aşkım, sevgilim, canım) a lot !! and she gets really embarrassed. one time she had to hype herself up for a solid 10 mins before uttering an "asalim" and then everyone and everything in the room just stops.
🇹🇷: what did you just say-
🇺🇿: i need to buy more carrots asap
🇹🇷: you bought them yesterday???
- they already watch turkish dramas together, so she probably also shows him old soviet movies/70s to 2000s uzbek movies! thankfully the soviet movies have a turkish subtitle option otherwise he'd be totally lost lol

Pick a Pile: What do you need to hear right now?
Good news, folks! My semester is over! So, hopefully, this means my stress levels will not be as high and I'll have more energy to do more pick-a-piles! Today we're going to look at what you need to hear. Gonna be honest, all the piles seem related. It could be that they all hold a message for one person, or they're continuations of the others? Or they could be messages for people in situations that are related to one another? I'm not sure, but there's some connection between all three tbh. However, only read what you're feeling called to read. That means you can have more than one pile. I also have to put my normal disclaimer here: This is a general reading. Not all of it is going to apply to you. In addition to this, this is current energy and it can change by tomorrow. There is such a thing as free will, and we all need to remember that. If you do find that you resonate heavily with one (or two or all) of these piles and you want to know more, I am available for readings. Just DM me about it and I'll get back to you ASAP. I also have my cashapp and Paypal listed in my bio if you feel the need to tip (but it's not required) So, for the piles, pick an outfit worn by Fran Fine in season 1 of The Nanny!
Tumblr media
Pile 1:
Tumblr media
Cards: Cat, Eclipse, Saturday morning cartoons, Picollus, Alastor, Voices, Flying Without Wings, 7 of Cups, 6 of Wands, Wheel of Fortune, Full Moon in Scorpio, Friendliness, Joy, Page of Wands, The Emperor, The Hierophant
Oof I just got REALLY warm. I'm not sure what that means, but I think some are you are furious at someone. Well, you're asked to release the negativity (Full Moon in Scorpio), and also the bottom of the deck of the Moonology cards was Bring Love Into the Situation. The song on currently is Are You on Your Way by Middle Class Rut, and I take this to mean...are you coming home? Like, to yourself. I think some of you have allowed others to influence who you are, losing sight of who you are. There's something coming, or maybe this has already happened, but it's good. Possibly an achievement? However, there are underlying issues within this or around you. I take this more as outside voices, that part about being influenced by others again. I think the Voices card is one thing to look at about this. From this, I get two things. The first being that you need to listen to your own voice, your own judgment. The second is that you should ignore any voices on the outside. By this I mean, like family or friends. I really get that some of you have family or friends around you that are giving you their advice, but that it's no good. The Picollus card talks about long-standing feuds (specifically family feuds) and the Alastor card talks about not being vengeful. So I think maybe there are some not-so-kind things that are being said, either about you or others and you're being asked to not listen to them.
But, with the 6 of wands, wheel of fortune and Flying without wings, I see that there's something you're about to achieve or have just done. The bottom of the deck for the tarot was the tower, so for some, this is sudden. Maybe a promotion? Or, graduation, so a culmination of things leading up to something. But, I'm seeing that this can only be good if you're careful with where you get advice from and how you act. I'm not saying to ignore all advice, but I think when you hear advice, you're aware of what's good for you/will work for you and what won't. With the eclipse card, I can see that there are some things that may be unknown to you right now, and maybe this tower card on the bottom is coming energy (or past, depending on where you are at). The energy of this pile is NOT bad. It's more cautionary. There's a lot here about your shadow side, and I really want to stress that your shadow side isn't something to hate. It's a part of you. So I think you're being asked to be mindful of your actions towards others but also other's actions towards you, while also being kind to yourself?
Moving Along by 5sos came on. I was going to say that it feels like some of you are moving on from something, and maybe it's a breakup or a past failure, but now you're moving into better times like you're succeeding with something else. Moving on. But, I think there's a bit of fear here. For a few, there's resentment. I'm not saying you don't have the right to be resentful, but in the cards, there is a warning to be careful not to allow that to overtake you. The bottom of the Witches Oracle is Greet the Darkness, and this tells me that if you are feeling that resentment, you're being called to feel it. I don't think you can just ignore it, because it will eat away at you. However, you're being asked to feel it and then let it pass. So, again, kind of goes back to moving along, right? You also are being asked to find your voice and not use other's voices to dominate your thoughts/actions.
You know, it's not even a song that came on, but I was thinking about Harry Styles' song, Treat People with Kindness and I kind of am getting that message here? Like, I think overall, this is just a call to be good. Like, to discern what you hear, but also to be the best you can be. Do not to give in to the temptation of being a less than stellar person. I think it's a warning to be careful. Like, an ego thing?
I feel like there's something missing though? Like, I'm at the edge of what the overall message of this pile is, and they all seem to connect, but it's on the tip of my tongue and it won't come out? So, I wonder if there's also a need to speak up? We did get Voices. Also 7 of Cups can be about having too many choices that you're stuck trying to decide. It can also be about being stuck in the clouds. So, maybe there's a need to figure out what you want to say and say it? As concise as possible, but not too blunt? I had to go back and pull a couple more cards from some other decks (so, the Moonology cards are part of that). The other two cards I pulled from my Affirmators! deck and they were Joy and Friendliness. So!!! Yes, please treat people with kindness! But I also think this is kind of a treat people the way you'd want to be treated, so like, greeting meanness with a smile? Don't Take the Money came on, and I'm really noticing the line: "Buy back the secrets". This song is ultimately about not giving in to greed. Like, not choosing greed over love, and I think that's part of this message. I can see this resentment bubbling under the surface and I sound like a broken record by now, but? I think you're not really meant to allow it to bubble.
Also, I think you guys are my music group because I got SO many songs for you? I also was all ready to wrap this up, thinking "Well, there's that, I think I'm done." But again, I was still feeling like I was missing something and then a song called Something Left To Give by The Starting Line came on, so here I am pulling more cards. We got Page of Wands, The Emperor, and The Hierophant. But then...the bottom of the deck was The Tower again? So, first off. I think a lot of you are definitely ignoring something, like a lesson you're meant to be learning? And I think it has a lot to do with surrounding your ego and maybe reaching into the shadows. But I also think it has to do with holding grudges while also holding onto toxic things, such as thoughts or people? I think, with the Emperor and the Hierophant here, you have the ability to be kind while also upholding your boundaries, but I think this is less about how you are and more about how you need to be. And sometimes...that's about upholding boundaries with yourself, whether it be letting go of certain behaviors or thoughts, or making sure other people do not cross those boundaries. Another thing I'm getting is that there may be certain beliefs you hold about yourself or others, or even the world, that need to be changed. I get this "My way or the high-way" feeling from the Hierophant and the emperor, and I think that if you have this attitude, you're being asked to really rethink that. It's okay to not be right all the time, and it's also okay to make mistakes. It's also okay to change your mind. To find that what you once believe doesn't really hold up anymore. I just think it's SOMETHING to get the tower on the bottom of two different decks, and I think this is about well, I'm getting shipwreck imagery in my mind. Crashing those beliefs? Wrecking them? Burning them down and starting over. Saying to yourself: "Hey, I don't really need this anymore. It doesn't match who I am now and where I want to go. I can let this go now." And, this can apply to more than just beliefs. I am using the Daemon tarot and the bottom deck energy was brooms which has the same meaning as the Witches Oracle Brooms card: Cleaning. It can mean physical cleaning (and it IS spring. I know I need to clean lol), but it also can talk about purification. So, purging those beliefs that do not fit anymore and getting rid of what does not serve you. What is not working for you anymore? What isn't helping you be the best person you can be? It's not about quitting things cold turkey one morning. It's about slowly allowing those things to fall away. So I'm not saying you need to get up and both physically and metaphorically clean your life. I'm just saying, to start that process. Ya know? Getting a garbage bag ready and filling it as you go.
I really think there is something good happening for you but I think you need to keep yourself grounded in reality and to be the best you can be while this is happening. I also think you need to not allow others (or your own self) to get to you. I don't see anything in here saying you are a bad person, I just see that there's a reminder being made to be good and be the best you can be, which also includes making sure that what you have in your life is good for you. Nothing drastic has to happen (if you don't want that), but mindfulness is needed.
YIKES, that was long lol Also, side note, the bottom card for my Dreams deck was Animals, and I think if you've been having a lot of dreams involving animals, this was meant for you especially. I could barely fit all the cards in this picture, so I didn't take a pic of the animal card, but if you're dying to see it lmk lol The bottom of the Affirmators! deck as Trust. It just talks about how you know you'll be okay. Personally, when I'm having really bad days, I usually write in my journal "I am okay. I will be okay." Idk, just something I do that helps me. It's small, but it gives me hope. Songs: Kamikaze - WALK THE MOON Moving Along - 5 Seconds of Summer (the bass in this song is honestly top-tier :) ) Are you on your way - Middle Class Rut Treat People With Kindness - Harry Styles Don't Take the Money - Bleachers (Specifically the version Ft Lorde) Funny Business - Alice Merton The Abyss - DBMK
Pile 2:
Tumblr media
Cards: Full moon in Gemini, Beauty, 5 of Cups, 9 of Cups, 6 of Cups, Murder, Pineapple, Confetti Rainbow, Money Green, Passing Notes, Nature Spirits reversed, Lamia, Astaroth, Cali, Knight of Pentacles reversed, 4 of Wands, King of pentacles
This group has a very specific message that comes out. It took a bit to get there, but I wanted to say that this is a specific situation. If you were called to it, then by all means carry on reading. However, if you find that you do not vibe with what this is saying, then this might not be your pile. However, I think there also might be a few bits here and there for some people, and not the whole message, so maybe try it out first.
First off, I get similar vibes to pile 1, but this pile seems more to be in a victim mentality. I'm not saying you don't have a right to feel that way, but I'm getting that there's a line and that you're either already past it, or you're near it. That line draws a boundary between feeling sorry for yourself and on the other side: feeling sorry for yourself that you play victim, never taking responsibility for yourself/actions. Get a defensive energy (I wouldn't be surprised if you were reading this and thinking that it may not be your pile because you're denying it? Hey, I do that all the time. I'm pretty guilty of this). I think a lot of you have had a tough time recently, or are still in the thick of it. I'm here to say that it will pass, but that you can't allow this to turn you bitter. Nor can you use this to take it out on other people. There's a strong message about making sure you don't do that. Also, not to manipulate others? I think there's a possibility of falling into this mentality that you're the victim and may be manipulating people into feeling sorry for you. I just get a weird manipulative vibe and I think maybe some of you can have the tendency of doing this, possibly even without being aware of it.
There's also a message of lightening up, allowing yourself to have fun. To stop focusing on the negative aspects of a situation, and find the humor in it. It may be something hard to do right now, but I think you'll find that maybe one day soon, you'll be able to do so.
Also, there's another side note about someone else? This can be a father figure, a boss/ceo figure? This could just be someone who embodies the King of Pentacles (he's the CEO type, has his shit together, is stable, more on the materialistic side of things, etc.). Whether this is you (could be!) or someone else you know/will know, I don't get bad vibes. I mean, I pulled the 4 of wands with that card, so I think it's kind of this stable energy whoever this is. However, there also is the Knight of Pentacles reversed, which can represent carelessness. The Full Moon in Gemini talks about being careful with one's words, like that whole "Less is more" idea when communicating. I think these two go together, and I think it just is someone who is a little too direct and blunt. I get work vibes tbh, so I think this could involve your workplace, so possibly a boss? Passing Notes talks about gossip/rumors, so I think this is like...A warning not to gossip or even to not believe everything you hear? I don't get any romance vibes but I think this could involve something that never took off? Oh, I was going to delete that, but I actually listened to what the song I was hearing was saying, Contagious by Boys Like Girls. This has sent me down a whole other path for another message lol
So, this might apply to some of you, but I think you may be involved with someone (or want to be?) who is the King of Pentacles, but they're kind of horrible at communication (or one of you is). I think they're more money-focused, and maybe they hear shit about you that has shaped their opinion about you (or vice-versa). But despite this, they like you. I think they don't quite know how to express themselves, and maybe you're feeling down about this because maybe you don't think they're into you? I still think this is work-related though. That, or this is someone who is just super focused on their work. But, I have 9 of cups and 6 of cups, so I think you're kind of what they're looking for and maybe they feel at home with you.
For some, you're being warned about this person. They can be manipulative/play the victim. For others, maybe they do that, but I think it's something being worked on. Either way, someone in this situation is having a lot of trouble expressing themselves. There is anxiety surrounding this situation. I get it on both sides. But I think for some there is some communication coming. Or at least an action that will communicate things. It seems like something practical if it is an action, but friendly. OMG what kind of relationship is this? Like what kind of a dynamic do you have? Because Drug by Simple Creatures came on after and it just feels like the song Contagious. Like this idea of being addicted to the way someone makes them feel? I think this is someone that can compartmentalize their feelings...but I think with you...it's harder? Okay, now I'm just getting nosey...I want to explore whatever the fuck THIS is further, so I'm going to pull some more cards.
Tumblr media
SHHH Don't tell the other piles I got really fucking nosey and pulled more cards. :/ So, what I get about this King of Pentacles person is that they may already be pretty established in their life? I got Ten of Pentacles, which talks about that happy family, but like. More-so, the material aspect, like needs being met. This could just mean someone who's got their own place and a good position in their job. With the Knight and Page showing up, I think that if this is work-related, you're under them in terms of position? I get this message a lot actually, about a boss/employer relationship? So, I think this is an ongoing thing. Who is this for? Lemme know if this is you lol bc this comes up so much and like. I don't think it's me because I don't have a love life to speak about. Just crushes on unavailable men. Anyway, I think that whoever this is, they can't express their emotions. This could be because of someone else in the picture. There are a lot of court cards here, also, bottom of the deck for this is The Empress. So a mother, either there is or the mother of their kids if they have kids? Or someone who they see/saw as the mother of their future kids? Could be roles reversed, and that this is the father. Take whatever resonates doesn't have to be a woman and the king does not have to be a man. But, I think this burdens them. Like, they have a lot of responsibilities that rest on them, and they're unable to express what they want to express to you because they're "chained" to these feelings. You know, I almost get like...Less another relationship and more a social standard, or company issue because in both the Page of Hazards (pentacles) and the Empress, there are kids being chained to something (They ARE zombies but...interesting that two cards that have chains are pulled...). Even more interesting is that the kid in the page of hazards is chained to a mailbox with cobwebs, so I get communication issues with that. I think it's both hard to express their feelings because they're not someone who does so openly or easily. But also, they just cannot because of external circumstances. So, like If you came here because of some work/love situation...Then. There ya go...The feelings are there, but cannot be expressed. At least, not at this time. And maybe that's where that victim mentality comes in? Like, a "Why me?" or "Why can't it be easier?" Because I kind of relate to this pile, and I get how fucking annoying it is to hear "The feelings are there but can't be expressed". It hurts, I know.
But. Here I am to remind you that you got that Beauty card, right? I wasn't sure how it really factored into all of it, and was just going to use it as a reminder of your beauty, and I guess I am doing that now. But I'm also going to tell you something someone once told me: You deserve someone that will give you their time. By that, you deserve someone who feels for you and can openly express how they feel for you. I'm not saying this King of Pentacles person is a bad person, or that they're not for you, but it just seems like right now is not the time for this to work out. I don't see anything that says it won't work out, but on the other hand, I don't see anything that says it will. I think its just one of those things where you're going to have to be patient with. The song I ended your reading on is Space Travel by Yellowcard. It's about getting lost in someone and loosing who your are within this other person. Like, loosing your personality. I'm not sure where you are with this person, but I think this is reminding you to take care of yourself first. Whoever this person is, they have other things they need to take care of first, too. I also think they're putting themselves first. I don't want to say move on entirely, because that can be hard. It can seem impossible some days. I do want to say, however, that you need to make sure you're not waiting around on this person. There are so many other people in this world, and I find it impossible that you only find "it" (whatever "it" is that you found within this person) with this one person. Which, again, sounds like an impossible thing to say. Like that saying "there's other fish in the sea". I personally hate when people tell me that. But, one day you're going to have a memory of this situation and it's not going to ache as much. I can't guarantee there won't be a sting, but I can guarantee that with time, it feels better. Songs:
Slow Burn - Kacey Musgraves Contagious - Boys Like Girls Drug - Simple Creatures Space Travel - Yellowcard
Pile 3:
Tumblr media
Cards: 4 of Pentacles, the Empress, the Emperor, Hanging at the Mall, Clouds, Gel Pens, Lamia, Andras, Pumpkin, Being Lost/Losing Something, Ideal Partnership, New Moon in Sagittarius, New Moon in Libra, King of Wands, 9 of Wands, Wheel of Fortune This pile seems related to the other two? I'm not sure why but all the piles had this weird "Spring cleaning" theme, about clearing what isn't working. But this pile seems to specifically be about love. So, I think if you're trying to move on from something/someone, this is a sign that things will be turning in your favor. Firstly, we pulled the emperor AND the empress. However, similar to how in Pile 2, where I felt the King of Pentacles in that pile was someone unable to express their emotions (its so odd that I got that, because I also got an emperor vibe but didn't pull it, but here it is in this pile?), I get that...this could be you? Because the New Moon in Libra suggests that someone is coming into your life that CAN express their emotions, but in one of the songs that came on, Headphones by WALK THE MOON, there's a line where he sings: "I wanna open my heart, but you won't open the door." Similarly, there's a part in Eyes are Red (Don't be Afraid) by Deep Sea Diver, where she sings "Don't be afraid". I kind of read into this song is about expressing one's feelings. But, we have the 4 of pentacles here, and it can be about hoarding. And in this sense, I'm getting...hoarding feelings? Like, keeping them in. But, they're there, at the tip of your tongue, they just can't get out. I think for some of you, this comes from past hurt. You closed your heart and you're afraid to express yourself, but I think you're being asked to allow yourself to heal while being open about your feelings. I think there is someone coming in (King of Wands), who is going to want to know about you and you're going to be a little worried to open up? But, these cards say it's okay to open up. You have two cards that indicate luck, and also you have a card indicating that you're protected (Pumpkin talks about being protected). I think this "Spring cleaning" is more about clearing out your emotions...letting them out? I think once you open up more, you're going to find that there are a lot of opportunities for you, you just need to be open to them. I think you're getting there, though, and with the Empress, I can see that you're healing from something. I always get that "nurturing" vibe from that card, but I definitely am reading this as you nurturing yourself, but maybe this involves you keeping things inside? Nevertheless, we got a pair, the Empress and the Emperor, so I could also read this as counterparts. I'm reading them as mostly you but I also can see this as you and someone else. One interesting thing is that I see the guy on the 9 of wands following the King of Wands. Not sure if that makes you feel of anything, but I read 9 of wands as persistence. This makes me think of the song Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron (which came on during this reading). The idea of following someone to the ends of the earth (let's hope they're not a flat earther...). I think this is someone really dedicated to you if you let them be. This song is also really beautiful and gives off this certain vibe that I can't really explain. It's like...One you need to experience? But I think this person could give off that vibe to be honest. I don't even know how to word this. Omg, there's a part in this song where he sings "I was a-ready to die for you baby, doesn't mean I was ready to stay." A SAGITTARIUS VIBE THAT WAS WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR! I've read that people with prominent Sagittarius placements need to have room. So, I wonder if this is someone (or even you) that needs to have that space? That's what that song feels like to me, though! I also kind of am thinking about that Ideal Partnership card and how it says that what your looking for is looking for you. There's a song that came on called First Grade by Max Leone, and he sings "I think about working out something with someone like you. I've looked
around, never found something or someone like you." I think that this is a person that definitely wants to pursue something and I think that this is telling you that you need to be open to it if you want something like this to happen. I think this song also highlights the need for action but being afraid to take action. I don't really see too many action-oriented things, but I see that being social is kind of something that needs to happen? I do get a Fool vibe from this, though. Like, taking a leap/risk? I don't know what kind of a risk, but I can see that you're being called to action in some way. In Pile 2, one of the messages was this need to not allow a victim mentality to take over. I could see that in here as well. I think it's like, whatever you went through in the past to make it hard for you to open up, happened. You have the right to feel that pain. But, then, you also have to move on at some point and heal? The Couds card talks about shifting and adapting. I don't have too many other cards about adaption, outside of maybe the 9 of wands being about persistence (and by this, I mean persisting change within?). I could take the 4 of pentacles, though, and say that this idea about not budging and "hoarding" your feelings definitely needs to be gone. I think this also is more than just about love. This can also be about making friends, in general. I think there's a sense of loneliness in this group that I didn't really feel for the last two groups. I almost wonder if this group is...the other end of group 2? Because there was someone else within that energy, and I could see you being that other person lol Whatever the case is, the big message of this group is to open up and not hold your emotions in. Songs: The Scientist - Coldplay (this has nothing to do with this reading, but I found out today that Chris Martin had to learn how to sing this song backward so that they could film the video in reverse so now it's extra weird watching it) No News is Good News - New Found Glory Ends of the Earth - Lord Huron First Grade - Max Leone

BB24/TEEN WOLF CROSSOVER: CHARACTER PROFILES, PART 1
At Orwell University, things are not always as it seems. When man makes plans, God laughs. Therefore, every student must be prepared for anything and listen to the call of the wild. So when a student with the last name Hale arrives, everyone must expect the unexpected. After all, life in the supernatural world will always be... Raising Hale.
Just doing eight HGs for now, will do the other 8 tomorrow since I'm really tired lol 😂 thanks so much to @taylorhalewon for assisting me in drawing out character traits and plot devices!
Also if anyone can make a cool cover for this it would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Tumblr media
"People can tell you you're a monster, but whether you live up to that is up to you."
Taylor: Being a Hale means taking up a responsibility that thrusts you into the spotlight even when you don't mean it. As a True Alpha, she sails through life guided by her intuition, juggling the struggles of a werewolf and an undergraduate student all in one. While she takes pride in her upbringing, she longs for the moment when she makes a name for herself outside of her father's reputation. As she takes the first steps to lead her own pack and conquer what's in front of her, she must realize that only she has the power to control her destiny.
Tumblr media
"This is why I come up with the plans; your plans stink!"
Michael: A shy yet exuberant father of three cats, he is the type to weigh all scenarios before acting. After meeting Taylor during his freshman year at Orwell University, the pair grew to be fast friends. He is the only person who knows the full extent of Taylor's history, especially her family tree. With a sharp mind and even sharper wit, he acts as the main informant to the budding Hale pack.
Tumblr media
"I can barely handle alcohol in my system half the time, how much more claws and fangs?"
Kyle: Despite being enrolled at rival university Huxley College, he frequents the residential apartments of Orwell U looking for the first party to crash. Having only been bitten months before his third year in college to an unknown Alpha, he continuously struggles with his double life. I mean, it's tough to control your urges with alcohol in your system, let alone on a full moon! Could a chance encounter with an experienced Alpha help prepare him for a lifetime of lycanthropy?
Tumblr media
"I believe that there was a purpose to me coming here."
Brittany: The newest professor at Orwell U, she holds much pride in being different from her fellow peers. She utilizes her botany knowledge and mind games to help packs in need wherever she may be.

"This place is full of weirdos."
Alyssa: At a young age, Alyssa possessed a high aptitude for the Dark Arts. It's been rumored that the book that she claims to use to write poems also contains her own spells that she had been workshopping for years.

Ameerah: Being born a werewolf to her meant having to learn discipline at a young age. She believes that years of experience will help her float through the hardest times.

"I better not see any funny business around here."
Nicole: Having been double crossed by a werewolf one too many times, Nicole bears a festering grudge towards those with supernatural abilities. She's a hardass cop who doesn't deal with anyone who won't respect her authority. By late night, however, she traverses the areas around campus in search of supernatural creatures. Her hunter clan takes up the previous Argent credo: "We hunt those who hunt us."

I have no clue what the newest one is. My favorite song to play in any of the games though is The Eagles' "Hotel California." It just feels good to play, and the ending solo fuckin' slams. Have you ever done anything dangerous enough to have risked your life? An overdose on cold medicine. What was the most length you’ve ever cut off your hair and why did you cut it? 8+ inches because I no longer wanted long hair. Have you ever overcome a disease that was life-threatening and, if so, which one? No.

Things about the creepypasta improv thing my close friend and I have been doing since 4th or 5th grade (maybe longer):
- My character doesn't really have a cp name yet but has been around for 401 years
- My character, when not at the mansion, is roomies with JTK (and he steals cheese its)
- Vivian's (the close friend) character is close to Slenderman and has a older sister bond with Sally
- Aside from the Jeff The Cheeze Itz Snatcher gag we have more running gags
- Such as Masky locking Toby in the closet when he's annoying only to turn around and see Toby standing there.... MENACINGLY (lol)
- LJ punts Mr Widemouth across the mansion weekly
- EJ is no longer allowed to cook for others after the barbeque of 2017. We miss you, Butler Bill
- Tuesdays and Thursdays Viv's character takes pets and children out the mansion for a playdate while everyone else has some fun
- Viv's Hidden Stash of Tuna TM
- My Hidden Stash of Vodka and Rum TM
- My character might have a problem but then again immortals aren't really affected by alcohol like most mortals are
- Speaking about my character: Holy. Pets.
- They have a bunch of guard dogs (despite them all being guard dogs they are pampered like you wouldn't believe)
- Pastas respect COVID stuff. Slender ordered everyone to scatter until it's mellowed out alot. Slender caught it at some point. They say get the vaccine and wear ya damn mask.
- There's a "Community Garden". It's just a few pitcher plants, some Butterworts, a killer cow plant (courtesy of Ben pulling some strings), a small patch of wither roses (courtesy of Herobrine), and a oran berry plant (courtesy of a few poke-pastas), rose bushes, etc
- Holidays are fun too
- Christmas time is filled with my character and Viv's taking Sally, Jane, Clockwork, and Nina out for a "girls" night
- Granted Nina only gets taken along bc despite the love-hate relationship between my character and Jeff, Jeff deserves time away from Nina during the holidays at least
- Also despite Jeff hating Nina he appreciates the knives she gives him (and return he gives her some sort of card)
- Due to staying in the vents constantly and stalking everyone my character gets everyone what they think they like would like
- Christmas lights everywhere. Splendor always gets Offender to put the star on top the comically large tree just bc
- Despite it not being Christmas music, everyone listens to Hotel California by The Eagles
- and watches Christmas movies (what was that Christmas movie with Tim Allen?)
- Everyone plays in the snow. Jeff decides to start a snowball fight and Sally makes a snow man.
- Everyone wears something festive and it's normally an ugly sweater thanks to Trender
- Spiked nog anyone?
- Thanksgiving includes everyone gathering together and having fun
- A small hunting trip is planned instead of a football game (the hunt takes place the day prior bc no one wanna miss the parade)
- Sally's favorite float is the Charlie brown float
- You know how the president pardons a turkey? Slender pardons a victim (and has been doing it since meeting Viv's character bc of a joke Viv made)
- My character makes mashed potatoes or some sort of really outdated dish from the 1700's
- The Slender Bros, Viv's character, Sally, Toby, Smile Dog, Jeff, and Nina all watch the dog show after the parade
- Nina is kinda allergic to dogs and doesn't really like them but bc of her lingering obsession with Jeff she puts up with it
- Offender and Trender argue over what dog they think should have won (funny to watch to grown immortal-ass men argue over this)
- Slender carves the turkey
- The pardoned victim is allowed to stay for dinner granted a majority of memories get changed (not really erased, just changed)
- My character, Jeff, and Ben all walk through the woods before dinner and get fucking plastered (and think no one notices....everyone notices)
- the week of Thanksgiving the tree gets put up (acceptable if it's the week of Thanksgiving, any other time then it's just weird)
- My characters mom, (considered the co-founder of Hell) pops in, steals a couple slices of pie, and leaves
- Halloween is celebrated kind of like Thanksgiving and Christmas
- My character decorates the mansion with various bones
- 31 Days of Horror Movies (at some point it's decided to watch Earnest Scared Stupid and some of the serious dog lovers opt out)
- The Slender Brothers dress up as the three musketeers. Splendor is Porthos, Offender is Athos, Slender is D'artagnan and, Trender is Aramis
- Jeff and my character do a duel costume by dressing of as Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer from Cats (musical not movie, duh) alternatively they dress as Rum Tum Tugger and Mr. Mistoffelees.
- Sally dresses as Carrie or a fairy princess
- Jane, Clockwork, Nina, Viv's Character dress up as four of the five muses from Hercules (Viv changes last minute to a cat due to her character having cat ears and a cat tail)
- Toby, Masky, and Hoodie originally wanted to dress as the three musketeers but after slender took that idea they decide to dress up as separate things. Toby dresses as Masky. Masky dresses as the phantom of the opera and Hoodie is a ghost.
- Smile dog dresses as a hot dog :P
- A small hunting trip is planned and Jane and Clockwork take Sally trick or treating
- Everyone finishes the month with A Night are Before Christmas (a classic)
- Not many celebrate Valentine's day
- It's really only the Slender Bros, Viv's character, My character, Nina, Toby, Masky & Hoodie, and Sally
- and by Sally I mean she just leaves candy from the candy bowl everywhere
- Masky and Hoodie make a day of it since Slender gives them holidays off. They eat cheesecake in the woods and just spend the day together.
- Toby spends the day alone but still celebrates in his own way. Eating waffles.
- Offender (in our improv thing he's not....yeah....he's just a hopeless romantic that does consensual hook ups) and my character spend his their leaving roses out at restaurants and going to bars for hookups. They have a bunch of stuff worked out.
- Viv and Slender spend the day in bed or lounging in the living room watching some cheesy comedy.
- Trender spends the day as a self care day seeing as he's alone at the moment. Every day is self care for him but it's even more on Valentine's Day. He goes all out and even treats himself to a fancy restaurant.
- Splendor likes going to neighborhoods and leaving cute little poems on people's doors then heading to the zoo for personal time.
- Nina harasses Jeff who, in return, leaves the mansion and heads to the apartment him and my character share.
- New Years is something everyone celebrates. While some have resolutions others have new quotas they're trying to meet.
- Sally tries to stay up and watch the ball drop (she's only seen it drop twice before falling asleep)
- My character and Viv's character get shit faced
- Jeff normally sits there with a beer in one hand and Smile Dog beside him
- that's really all that consists of New Years
More about our two characters:
My character:
- a 401 year old demon thing
- in our universe hell is ran by the 7 devil's as well as my characters mother. Hells more of a city than a pit.
- Has lived with Jeff as a roommate since late 2018
- Use to be with Herobrine but broke it off with him for unknown reasons.....they're civil and still good friends. He's one of those people that could make a good boyfriend but is best as a close friend
- On their 400th birthday a crackening happened in Hell that enhanced their powers and they were hunted by Zalgo. Luckily a truce was established.
- Has been by Viv's character side since her characters soul was first created. More in Viv's Character's section
- Y'know those dogs that were talked about in the beginning? They primarily stay at their mothers mansion in Hell.
- Also all cats go to hell but they don't get hurt. They like to watch. Sometimes if you're lucky you might get a celebrity's cat. That's how my character got their lovely (and kinda douchy cat) Delilah. She likes to pee all over people's suits just bc she's like that.
- They were born in 1620 but are progressive
- Still liked fashion through the ages
- Maybe not the health damaging ones
- Is able to fly and teleport but due to back pain and migraines prefers to stay grounded and rarely use teleportation
- Doesn't actually kill much but has had souls sold to them (job as a demon....doesn't really need one though....is Crossroads Demon)
- Had a one night stand with Trender about 240ish years ago
- Does have proxies....it's those souls they take and barter around for
- Souls in hell can be used for currency depending on whether or not they sold their soul
- Anyways, was at some point known for having an obsession with chainsaws and hoodies...still has a bunch of hoodies and a chainsaw but doesn't really use them much (is more of a flannel and gun person now)
Viv's Character:
- her character managed to get everyone's favorite dwarfed rag doll cat from the internet
- Her character use to be with Entity 303 and ended up Slenderman
- that makes two of us who were with a Minecraft pasta and ended up with a slender brother lol
- I think her character is called Kat or KC so for now imma call her character Kat
- Kat has an addiction to tuna and milk
- Also has cat ears and a cat tail which are both very sensitive
- when Kat's soul was created my character was created. Even though Kat has been through many many reincarnations my character has always been alongside her. Even though my character doesn't die they act as a guardian towards Kat.
- Has a tendency to sit up in the cat walks and within the walls of the mansion alongside my character
- Gets lost in the forest from time to time and needs help getting out
- Despite being with Slender she has her own room to store her weapons and stash her plans.
- If I'm not mistaken Kat also was with Toby for a short while but doesn't talk about it much. Imagine dating your ex-lovers boss lol
- Disappears for up to a week sometimes without saying where she's going and when she comes back she acts as if nothing happened
- When both Kat and my character started living in the mansion they shared a room for about a year.
- Kat had a personal garden that was completely wiped out by Zalgo before a treaty was established and she still hasn't forgave him
- The garden mostly had marigolds and a few small plants. The only one that really mattered was Audrey the Venus fly trap.

I have (3) out of the water Bob’s Burgers theories. Enjoy :)
This is REALLY long, but my current theories are:
(please don’t get overly defensive abt my theories, I’m just havin fun 😂😂)
1. Colleen Caviello is the Pesto kids’ mom. (I’ve shared my thoughts on a few posts so I’ll save you the trip) Basically though, PTA mom of an unknown kid at Wagstaff. The Pesto kids are some of the only kids who we know have a mom, but we don’t know which. Colleen could easily be another kids’ mom, but knowing Colleen & Linda’s rivalry would make it a little bit more believable. For example, Joanne is on PTA so she has an unnamed kid too. But Linda didn’t really know Joanne when they hung out. If Joanne were the Pesto’s mom, I doubt Linda would’ve acted the way she did with her. Caviello is an italian sounding last name which would make Jimmy Pesto’s italian-loving fetish a reality, and she seems about of a shady culinary artist as Pesto. (“that sauce was store bought and you know it!!!” — also, sabotaging Linda with Banana Bread 😂) I mean, two peas in a pod, right??
2. Linda’s gal pal Ginger isn’t real, but rather her imaginary friend 😳
Although we see Linda talking to Ginger a few times, we’ve never actually physically seen Ginger or heard her talk. (There is some speculation that she appears as a side character in some frames, such as the Pirates of Panache dinner theater.) However, I think it’s possible the animators just coincidentally gave those characters red hair. A lot of characters have similar looks, because I assume it’d be incredibly different to make entirely unique characters for every character that passes by. Anyways, we never actually see Ginger (she does appear when the Belcher’s are creating stories of what would’ve happened if Bob never had a mustache, but technically she didn’t get literal screen time. They’re just sharing stories! Also, if you compare Angie from the essential oils episode and Ginger from the flashback, they look surprisingly similar 👀 Even the scrunchie is the same color! I’m not saying Linda was just having a random chat with someone in the bar, but Linda is so outgoing I could see her doing so! In addition, Linda does preface the flashback by saying “it was a quiet night with my girlfriend Ginger” but not once does Linda introduce Ginger to Bob. And Bob doesn’t ever acknowledge Ginger. I know it’s first impression between Bob/Linda, but I feel like SOMEWHERE in that timeline Bob would have at least been like “I’ll let you get back to your friend.”) Also, on her birthday she gives Ginger a really long message, when Ginger tells Linda about her cat dying, and in the sleepover episode Linda talks about the raccoons, but we don’t actually hear Ginger talk. Ginger is also noted as Linda’s lifelong BFF that she has known longer than she has known Bob. I don’t think I’ve ever hear Gayle bring up Ginger & we have seen some of Linda’s friends from when she was younger, such as Stacy Micelli & Monica. If Linda has been friends with Ginger for this long, why hasn’t Gayle brought up Ginger at all? Knowing how Gayle is, I feel like she would have at least tried to be friends with Ginger. (She’s always wanted was Linda had) I know this one is a STRETCH, but Linda is a kooky crazy bat sometimes. Plus, she is Gayle’s sister. With how close they are, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they both had an element of crazy. And, I know Bob and the family are goofballs as well. I could see them supporting Linda entirely. In addition with Gene, who is 11 and a little old for imaginary friends, with his super close relationship with Linda, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where he gets it from 🙊 Supposedly we meet Ken, gene’s albingo friend (who I think is like 32??) But it seems more plausible that he’s imaginary.
3. Okay, so now that’s outta the way. Disproving my first and second theory, a lot of people have speculated that Ginger could be the Pesto kids’ mom. We all kind of just assume Ginger has ginger-red hair, right? I mean again, we’ve never actually seen her so who knows what color her hair is. But that could explain the recessive gene for Jimmy Jr’s red hair. Blonde haired genes are more common than red haired genes, and that small percentage would be all it takes to over shadow the gene expression for red hair and produce blonde kids. But if both parents have the recessive gene for red hair, it could explain why one kid is a red head and the twins are blonde. Additionally, what if the Pesto kids aren’t Jimmy Pesto’s kids??? In the family fracas episode, Jimmy calls Trev the “son I’ve always wanted.” I know he’s not as close with his kids as the Belchers are, but even that’s a little cruel. So, if Jimmy isn’t the kids’ dad, who would be? Well we know from way back in season 2 Ginger is married to (or having sexual relations with) her pill-poppin’ sex freak of a partner, Tony. Tying into that, when Bob goes to get multiple Turkeys later in season 4 because he keeps throwing them in the toilet, the Butcher goes “Things haven’t been going great with Tony for a long time” & “I’m so sick of tony and his dancing!!” 2 seasons I think is enough chronological time to have Tony leave Ginger for the Butcher, and offer some commitment issues to the Butcher. What if the Butcher’s Tony is also Ginger’s Tony? And what if Ginger & Tony are the real Pesto kids’ parents? It’d explain why Jimmy loves dancing so much. It’s in his genes!! We see Jimmy Pesto gets mad at Jimmy Jr. a lot for dancing. I feel like a normal parent wouldn’t really find that much of an issue with it, but who knows 🙆🏻‍♀️ (Also, Jimmy Pesto calls Jimmy Jr. “Pepper” in one episode, and idk what that’s all about lol. I read that it’s a possible reference to something else, but I forget what.) Then in the musoems episode, Jimmy Jr. sings “my mom’s new friend Allen, he’s okayyyy!” What if Ginger left Tony because Tony went with the Butcher (or Tony left Ginger for the Butcher), so now Ginger is with Allen??? The biggest flaw for that theory is why would Jimmy Pesto then have custody of the kids 😂😂 (Maybe Jimmy Pesto is their uncle or something 😱😱 I’m just kidding lolol) And in the Rent Strike episode, Jimmy says “did we really have to bring our kids???” Although some kids are named after different family members, Jimmy Jr. being named after Jimmy Pesto is probably the most likely. So there’s really no disproving he’s the father, but I’m not completely dismissing the idea that the kids aren’t Poplopoviches ;) If they are Poplopoviches though, it kinda confuses me as to why they’d all change their name to Pesto. But a background story on that could easily explain why lol
Also, J-ju doesn’t call Pesto “dad” a whole lot (probably cos we don’t see them that much, but i’ve only heard him say “dad” like three times) and although the twins say “Daddy! You came for us!!” in the Taffy factory episode, and Pesto says “I thought you were with your mom? I just came to see the demolition. Er—Come and rescue you guys [something like that] I’m a great father!” If Pesto was a close family member or like an uncle, it’d be reasonable for the kids to call him Dad as they see him like a father figure. The twins are young enough they’re easily impressionable so I could see them genuinely calling Pesto “dad” even if he wasn’t. Especially if their real dad isn’t in the picture & genuinely felt like Jimmy Pesto was their dad.
Additionally, in the slumber party episode, Linda says Ginger has to take her daughter to a slumber party. People have mentioned that we probably would have known by now if the Pesto kids did have a sister. But if Ginger’s daughter is the same age as the twins & Louise or even younger, it’s possible the Pesto kids didn’t get to hangout with their sister very much. It’s also possible that Ginger’s daughter would be the Pesto kids’ half sister which would explain why the kids don’t ever talk about her.
Again, I’m way overanalyzing the show and all my theories are CRAZY unrealistic, but it’s fun to imagine!
I dunno. I know all three of these theories are way far fetched and HIGHLY unlikely, and I doubt the writers would have made a storyline this intricate, but it’s kinda fun putting a twist on the show!!
What are some of your wild theories ??
