#veganism isnt healthy for a lot of people

[makerscockandballs]

if you think vegan food is just shit like quinoa and imported "exotic" foods you dont know jackshit about veganism outside of movie stereotypes and animal agriculture industry propaganda (which is a real thing, big surprise. capitalism is full of industry propaganda) and should inform yourself outside of that. read a fucking cookbook at this point.

A (long) Rant About Fitness & Personal Health

So if you're new to my blog, hi, Im Lyra and I am a 27 y/o who is very passionate about fitness and physical health. A few years back I was 165lbs and very unhappy, so I decided to start working out and then boom, currently 116lbs and 18% body fat. (Im 5ft2)

I didnt do that through some wacko diet, restricting my food, keto, whatever. No. Simply put, I ate food, and lifted heavy shit over, and over and over. And whoda thunk?! I lost body fat, gained muscle, as well as mental clarity, improved my sleep health, and physical health as a whole. And another fun fact, I still ate "bad food". Oooo, scary. Pizza, beer, burgers, cake, cookies, if its food, I want to eat it, and I did (and do).

It irks me on a cellular level that some people try to convince others that the only and or best way to lose weight, is to follow some weird ass diet that likely has more health risks than benefits, and the people theyre trying to convince, are already pretty vulnerable and are ready to try pretty much anything to get results and FAST!

Whilst I more than understand wanting results asap, fitness and physical health is not something you will see results and progress with in a short span of time. Sure, you might start feeling a little better after a month of implementing a fitness routine, but you'll look the same, and more or less still be the same. Fitness above all else teaches patience, and discipline. The muscles, slimmer figure, or whatever your original goal was is just a bonus.

Let me break a few things down for you;

Food is fuel, so fuckin EAT

You dont need to be keto, or follow the carnivore diet, vegetarian, vegan, nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zero, to be able to lose weight and gain muscle effectively, efficiently, safely, and be able to maintain a healthy body.

The best thing that I have ever heard regarding food (and it helped change my own relationship with food) is a quote from personal trainer and fitness coach Alex Tima from Hybrid Wellness. Alex said "There is no such thing as bad/unhealthy food. There is only more nutritious food, and less nutritious food".

Too much of anything isnt good, and too little of anything is also not good. Thats why we call it a "balanced" diet.

A lot of fitness influencers and whoever now days are trying to convince their followers to follow a strict diet of only animal products and maybe some fruit, all while eating one meal a day because "thats what our ancestors did!". Yeah, and our ancestors died at the ripe old age of 30.

True, we are/were hunter gatherers, but evolution is a thing as well. Just because back then we could survive off of only one meal a day, doesnt mean we have too now. More so, the biggest and strongest of our ancestors, still ate more/the most!

Bottom line, eat food when youre hungry. Eat good food. Meats, fruits, veggies, grains, fats, etc.

Dont let anyone tell you that youre undisciplined because you dont subscribe to any particular diet.

2. If You Wanna Look "Toned", You've Gotta Put in the Work

After becoming more fit and healthy myself, I have had quite a few people approach me and ask how they can do the same. However, nine times out of ten, they all say the same thing, or at least some variation of "I just wanna look more toned".

Well guess what? You will not look more toned, if there is nothing to tone.

Cardio alone will not help you achieve your goals. Sure, walking is fantastic and jogging is a great way to increase cardiovascular health and stamina, but it will not make you look more "toned". For that, you will need to build muscle. And how do we build muscle?

WE LIFT HEAVY SHIT WE EAT LOTS OF PROTEIN AND THEN WE LIFT HEAVIER SHIT

Unless you are literally training like Sam Sulek, you will not look like Sam Sulek. Lifting weights will NOT make you look "big" or "bulky" if you're not trying to become big or bulky. Just lift a good amount to where its a bit of a struggle, and increase the weight gradually overtime as you become stronger.

That with a little bit of cardio works wonders. Not just cardio or weights by themselves.

Again...balance

3. FUCK THE SCALE

Sooooo many people are obsessed with the scale, being skinny, having the smallest BMI they could possibly get but let me tell you something.

My own mother has been obsessed with not only her weight (shes an almond mom with the exception of booze), but mine for as long as I can remember. Shes done so many diets, taken god knows what concoctions of...whatever, pills, etc all for the sake of being skiiinniiiiiiiii!!!!!

Guess where she is now? I mean sure, shes super fuckin skinny, but shes got diareah 24/7, liver damage, blood problems, thyroid issues, she had fuckin scurvey, and various brain issues and pretty much, delusions. But so long as her weight is low along with her waistline, she does not give a fuuuuuckk.

Guys, its not worth it. Do NOT stress over the numbers you see on the scale or any BMI calculator. Its okay if you want to drop a few pounds, but I highly HIGHLY encourage you to just simply take progress pics instead. Your eyes may lie to you, but the camera will not.

I could go on and on and on about this topic, but this is already a long enough post, and I don't want to info overload you lol.

To wrap up, fitness and personal health is all about balance. Nothing more, nothing less. Balanced diet, balanced sleep, balanced workout plan, etc.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel more than free to drop into my asks! Ill be more than happy to answer them when I can :)

[superfuxkinghungry]

People who think that being vegan is a personal choice (How dumb could you possibly be to think that contributing to the torturing, abusing, neglecting, and depriving an animal of its ability to nurture its kids, and very unnecessarily prolonging their death by slitting their necks while they're possibly still alive "a personal choice"!???) are selfish fucks who forget that animals feel the exact same pain we do and have literal emotions just like us (sadness, pain, love, happiness, care, fear, terror, depression, etc.) and who don't realize the gravity of their decisions to contribute to the supply and demand of products coming from suffering and murder that they greedily feed on, put on/in their bodies, or test on their skin. There's a LOT of things that a lot of people will be surprised aren't vegan. A simple google search will do you well by showing you if a product isn't vegan or is and what REALLY happens in slaughterhouses that kill animals "humanely" which BTW is bullshit everywhere. Killing an animal for food, testing, clothes, medicine, or any other purpose is not humane AT ALL. Its so gross! if you cared enough about animals to determine if a product is vegan or not before buying you could make a difference! Please, don't keep ignoring the cruelty, agony, mental torture, sadness and fear these innocents have to go through on the DAILY before their eventual murder that by the way isn't "fast and painless". If you wouldn't let your family member, friend, or partner suffer in a slaughterhouse, or wouldn't eat them, why would you let a helpless animal suffer and be cooked for dinner? Just search what happens to these sweet, loving, and desparate helpless souls in reality, behind the scenes of the fake ass ads and labels. It's SO fuckin terrifying and horrible. Your burger, TV dinner, your couch, boots, bearskin rug, hot dog, cosmetic, and so much more products that are made with either carcasses, animal byproducts, animal products, or animal testing, (or a mixture of each) really isn't worth the lives and suffering of so many animals globally AT ALL!!! and you can certainly get healthy and be strong and energetic with plant nutrients! (There's also lots of benefits to not eating animal products and sticking to the power of plants!💓) By the way, drinking, promoting and buying dairy also contributes to the killings of male calves for veal and the rape of mother cows to keep them pregnant so they can keep producing the milk we like to put in our cereal, sauce, that big brands like Johnson&Johnson add to lotion [btw they use animal testing!!! Not a safe brand] or what dessert places add to ice cream. Nasty, right!! Oh, and you know what happens to the mother when shes not able to produce milk anymore after being repeatedly raped and forced to get pregnant? She gets MURDERED slowly for meat. (We drink milk that wasnt even for us, but for cow's babies! How would you feel if your mother was raped to impregnation constantly so her tits could be milked by animals, so random animals could drink her milk not caring about the suffering and rape she has to go through!!!?? and her babies arent even able to drink their mother's milk that was literally meant for THEM and THEM only to drink due to the consumer, government and workers' selfishness!?? Uncomfortable, right? Humans are so selfish fuck oh and by the way the cow gets taken from their mother after birth and yes the cows feel devastated and sad over the fact they can't even be with their family yes they have feelings you selfish carnies) Its always amazing to search if the product you want to buy is vegan and isnt made with any cruelty and evil! Veganism rules!!! FUCK THE GOVERNMEMT AND CAPITALISM LET THE ANIMALS ROAM FREELY LIKE THEY WERE MEANT TO! WE'LL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR THEM!!!!💓💓💓💓

[ethicallyomnivorous]

Vegan YouTuber Rawvana admits she quit being vegan after 6 years due to health problems and her period disappearing.

Check the video she posted about it on her YouTube channel here.

This all happened after she was caught eating fish in Mexico, and you can read the full details in this news article. Naturally, the vegan community is absolutely livid and crawling all over for doing what was best for her health and trying to get better, instead of just ruining her body and health “for the animals.”

[shoezuki]

I been thinkin bout fatphobia n body positivity a lot lately cuz like theres Something bout it all that infuriates me that i aint been able to articulate until now n basically

The way that health is intrinsically tied to someone's worth and how they should be treated is fucked up n tbh so much of the language Against fatphobia fucks this up

Like. The arguments i always see is that fat people can be healthy too and that bein fat isnt always caused by bein unhealthy. Its true! Theres bitches out there (like me) that jus have a heavier body type n ppl who are genetically inclined towards bein a heavier weight n all that. Theres infinite variants of ppl beyond Skinny who are still healthy ppl

But. What about ppl who are unhealthy and fat? Or who are fat due to bein unhealthy? Or inversely ppl who's health are negatively affected by their weight? Cuz thats as real n actual as the counterargument i always see raised. What about THEM?

It fosters this entire idea that 'fatphobia bad because that fat person might be healthy!!!' N that jus throws unhealthy fat ppl under the bus. I am constantly seein fat ppl showin their diets on yt shorts n tiktok needing to show themselves eatin nothin but smoothies n chicken w rice and even then i see comments of 'they eat 50 mcchickens off camera'

The distinction between healthy fat n unhealthy fat has jus made it so ppl need to 'prove' a fat person is unhealthy to get a free pass to abuse them. The division of who can or cannot be fat majorly fucks over everyone when in actuality it should be that someone's health isnt a signifier of their worth or morality.

Idk man like. A fat person who does summersaults and is vegan and works out every day isnt a 'better fat person' than one who plays videogames every day n hates hiking.

ErrorTale Sans Utah

Name: Bolas

Size: 1'2 - 2'2 feet tall (fullsize) 4 - 6 inches tall (mini) 4'2 - 5'2 feet tall(bara)

Personality: Tsundere, sassy, moody, stubborn,

Likes: Praise, chocolate treats, plushies, blankets, naps, older corny dramas,

Dislikes: Bitties or people that try to keep him from destroying or knocking things over, to much physical contact,

Compatibility: All Error type bitties can easily be over stimulated by physical contact and often need a lot of time to get used to someone before physical contact doesn’t bother them as much, it is best to let them come to you until you know they are comfortable with it!

Like most Error types they can make strings! They often use their strings to nest/play with but don't mind their strings being use by their owners to make things! It acts just like yarn! Just be sure to not over use their string as it takes energy to make new string!

Bolas like toys they can knock over/make noise, like bells or wooden blocks, having these things can help them satiate their drive to destroy things!

Having an Angon bitty can help satiate their drive to destroy things and help with their stubborn nature, and make it easier to get them to do things/listen to you, though they are not required!

Feeding habits: They can live off of and me perfectly healthy off of a vegan diet but prefer to eat meat, they tend like food that crunches,

Additional info: Utah bitties are very cleaver and adventures, often getting out of the house/yard and running off! It is not recommended to leave Utah bitties unsupervised without a tracker!

It is recommended to keep trash up and away from any Utah bitty, as they will get into it and eat as much as they can before they are found!

When adopting a Utah bitty you need to have a lot of space for them to roam, a privacy fence and maybe even an electric fence as well, as any motivation(like seeing your neighbor is outside)can lead them to escape and run off, terrorizing other smaller bitties and even larger people in groups! these are also the only type of bitty where it isnt only ok to, but recommended to chip/use a shock color(with an invisible fence)!

These bitties are so difficult to managed we have to check your house and interview you(new poetical owner) to make sure your/your house is suitable for a Utah bitty,

Utah bitties require at least one other similarly sized bitty that doesn't mind being tackled and playfighting,

Utah bitties require plenty of enrichment to stay busy, anything from toys to playdates to things they can destroy/knock over/make a mess with,

Zone: Inside, Savanna, Forest, Plains,

In Universe: Bolas are seen as very taboo and difficult to care for,

Difficulty: Intermediate

Features:

Main colors: Red, gray, black, white, tan, brown,

Secondary colors: Red, gray, black, white, tan, brown,

Extra: has feathers but featherless feet, tails may have a fan and said tail fan may only be near the tip of the tail or all the way down the tail, arms double as wings with only the thumb sticking out,

Additional info: patterns very but is often has darker spots on the face, similar to cheetahs, allowing them to see very easily in the sun,

so I decided to watch danny phantom. I got 3 episodes in and I have Thoughts. im not going to liveblog it necessarily, but just, maybe post my thoughts every 3-5 episodes? because, I have thoughts. (which im sure are not NEW thoughts for dp fans, but, you know. new for me) Anyway. ep 1-3 Thoughts.

- the parents Suck. I love Jazz.

-dannys little 'actually i wanna be an astronaut :)' BABY. im adopting him and his sister. these parents suck so far lol jazz shouldnt have to deal with this and being the most responsible person in the house at age 16. HATE the 'absentminded idiot parents' trope SO much actually. it just makes me mad and makes me want to adopt these kids.

-sam...is so much like me at age 15. at least when I was having a vegan phase. not saying veganism isnt a legit thing or w/e but. my god. shes so Not Like Other Girls. lmfao. if she wanted to go to the dance, she shouldve just SAID so directly!! and I hated her just going up and being catty to Paulina for No Reason Other Than Jealousy UNPROVOKED!!! Like, if anything, the BOYS are the shallow ones, approaching Paulina based on nothing but her looks instead of getting to know her?? it would not have been shallow of her at all to turn them down, she has every right to.

-tbh the way the girls are written makes me cringe. they Deserve Better I think. anyway tbh if a girl came up to me being that rude,, im not saying paulina was RIGHT to lead danny on, but like. I can't be super mad at her for it...sam was bein. hm. rude. and in paulinas little teenager brain thought that was the fastest way to get back at her I guess, by taking the guy she may or may not be crushing on?? I just hate unnecessary rivalry between girls in shows. anyway. glad she did attempt to apologize near the end anyway. I do get that a lot of kids shows have the protags being shitty to teach a moral lesson later and show them apologizing. it still rubbed me the wrong way.

-Was also rolling my eyes at Sam's 'the gorilla needs to be FREE!!' like girl realistically if theres two left,, itll be a huge poaching target, its better to keep it with professionals so it can lead a long, healthy enriched life, and so we can have a lot of footage to teach future generations about so we at least have the memory/history preserved as well as possible! zoos and nature preserves and such can be good. focus on, idk, taking down sea world or smth. (also, the fact it turned out to be a girl gorilla,, and no one noticed until Danny got An Eyeful...of course it would have to be. you cant just tell kids watching this show that theres two male gorillas and theyll DIE FOREVER AND GO EXTINCT AFTER THAT. I GUESS??? but showing danny possessing people is fine. gotcha)

-I liked skulkers design A Lot. it (funnily enough with the episode involving an actual gorilla-) reminded me of the way the gorillaz band got drawn early on. I think its the eyes.

-the voice actor for the box ghost sounded SO familiar. so I went to his IMBD originally thinking he HAD to be a voice actor on ed edd n eddy. THIS GUY HAS VOICE ACTED IN EVERY CARTOON I GREW UP WITH. SO MANY CARTOONS AND ANIMATED MOVIES. funnily enough he was in ed edd n eddy like i thought but in a very very minor role of one of the parents?? I think I just assumed he had to have voiced something I used to watch a lot of. actually, hes voice acted everything, ever. and has been since the 80s, and still does today. Crazy. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0667326/ LOOK AT THIS MAN'S TALENT.

-box ghost has the right idea tho. I wanna haunt a fed ex truck and get that rush of Open Packages Serotonin for my whole afterlife. king shit. (I also just love very silly villains and this show is checking boxes for me. love the monster of the week format stuff)

-did valerie actually cancel on tucker,, or did the boys just lie to take sam to the dance. that seems so unfair to val but we never SAW unless I was looking away. valerie u deserve a date sweetie i am SO sorry. if u already made a commitment to valerie I think sam can take HERSELF TBH. she wanted to be passive aggressive about the dance, it couldve been a lesson in 'just say what you want and dont expect your friends to be mindreaders' lol

-'boys hugging makes every year book funny' TOP 10 SAM HOMOPHOBIC MOMENTS?? let them cuddle while they nap girl wtf. I KNOOOW I know this is how a lot of cartoons were written in the early 2000s but I hate it.

-tucker being freaked out by the cute ghost girl wanting to dance with him at the dance?? no sir. you WANTED A GIRL TO WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU!! and your best friend is half ghost!! tucker top ten ghostphobic moments!!! (also, her having a dragon amulet is a BONUS. coward)

-danny can just. possess people. ALRIGHT! casually terrifying. love that.

[unicronian]

a bunch of powers/hybrid smp character design hcs based around their powers in the mod:

(small warning for slight body horror in tubbo and wilbur’s sections, and horror themes in wilbur’s section)

this got long so here’s a snapshot of my fav bits above the read more:

tubbo can open his stomach up like a shulker, and just reach in there and put stuff in and get it out again

wilbur’s physical appearance is dependent on how well rested the person looking at him is

tommy glides by t-posing because his arms are his wings

ranboo can open unhinge his jaw and open his mouth like an enderman, and he has like an extra layer of mouth skin like a snake that you can only see when his mouth is unhinged

Phil hates places with low ceilings cause his wings are super long and he can’t stretch them out

Niki’s got gills on her neck to help filter water, so when she wants to talk to people above water she has to stick just her head out of the water and leave her neck beneath it

You know su!peridot’s augments she had at her intro, jack can like do that with his clawed fingers. Just like detach them at will and control them but they can’t go very far from him so it isnt very useful

Shulk!Tubbo:

tubbo has pretty thick skin with a slightly sickly pallor even though he’s perfectly healthy

he also has a carapace that’s similar in color and texture to a shulker’s shell covering the parts of his body that don’t bend(arms, legs, top of his head, upper chest) he can use these to block sword blows but if the sword is sharp enough it’ll stick cut into his skin

the carapace itself doesnt bleed, but it does heal and tubbo feels pain if it gets cut

like a lobster or turtle the carapace is a part of tubbo’s skin and can’t be removed(without extreme pain)

his hands are also reinforced by his carapace, giving him sharp claws at the tips of his fingers, and this is why he can punch through stone easily and without breaking his hand

he’s also pretty heavy underneath this extra armor and as a result he’s got a lot of intense muscle mass

tubbo can open his stomach up like a shulker, and just reach in there and put stuff in and get it out again, but it has limited storage

it kind of makes his stomach look like a shulker, with interlocking squares

the stuff inside his stomach exists in a type of hammerspace(we’ll just call it shulkerspace) so if you were to cut him open the stuff wouldnt be there

you do NOT want to stick your hand into tubbo’s shulkerspace, he can do it with no ill effects but if someone else did they might as well wave goodbye to that hand even if tubbo doesnt close his shulker mouth on your hand

Phantom!Wilbur:

wilbur can do like... ghost things like turning invisible and walking through walls in phantom state

particularly astute(or anxious) people can sense when wilbur’s nearby in phantom state, but not accurately guess where he is

wilbur oftentimes goes in and out of phantom state without even realizing it, sometimes just vanishing in the middle of the conversation because he let his mind wander

he also burns in the daylight which is sadge but not when in phantom state so he sometimes goes into the phantom state on reflex when entering a very bright room

wilbur can sense how tired people are, and if they are tired enough to summon phantoms wilbur can sense whose insomnia the phantoms are targeting on sight

wilbur looks like how you’d expect a ghost to look: see through, human, or at least... that’s what he looks like when you wake up in the morning

his physical appearance is dependent on how well rested the person looking at him is, but he is always corporeal when out of the phantom state

by nighttime, when you’re getting ready for bed wilbur’s eyes are green and if you look closely they glow in the dark, and if you look closer a skeleton makes itself clear beneath wilbur’s skin. it is not a human skeleton

by morning the next day without sleep transparent membrane stretches between wilbur’s claws and you can clearly see the skeleton. fangs protrude from its mouth and its rib cage stretches grotesquely outwards with every breath wilbur takes

by the second night wilbur’s transparent skin is blue and phantom membrane has escaped the confines of his hand and run down the length of his arm, extra bones begin to grow from the skeleton to accommodate the growing wing. it is harder to see through him.

by dawn of the third morning you can see a tail, more bone than blue, leathery skin, lashing behind wilbur, it seems to always whip itself in your direction. it stings when it touches you, but not for long. his frayed wings are fully formed.

night falls and wilbur’s glowing green eyes are sunken in, practically floating in black eye sockets. his skin looks vacuum sealed, giving you a perfect map of the meatless bones inside. he is entirely opaque, you cannot see through him but his stark white skeleton, expanding, stretching, and clawing at you, is clearly visible

you sleep, and wilbur looks human once again

this version of wilbur doesn’t only exist in the minds of the sleep deprived. if you let him stay in the edges of your vision too long, no matter how rested you are, you can see this form

by the time you focus your vision on him wilbur will be back to his normal state. you can’t see what your brain desperately tries to refuse. it is only when your mental walls have been broken down that you can witness wilbur’s form. for better or for worse.

Avian!Tommy:

instead of having an extra set of limbs like phil tommy’s wings and arms are the same limbs, like a harpy(and like wilbur)

where the wing’s wrist is(essentially where it bends, if you’re unfamiliar with bird anatomy) Tommy has some extra human-like clawed fingers that he uses as hands

tommy isnt strong enough to fly with them, even if he is very light thanks to hollow bones. he can glide, though

yes, this does mean that tommy glides by t-posing

tommy also has talons for feet, which sort of assist him in being slightly faster than everyone

his feathers are the same colors as a red parrot’s, and he keeps them very well maintained so they keep their lustrous color

he’s also got a lot of feathers dotting his body, like around his ears and stomach and they protect him from the cold in the high up areas he likes sleeping in

ok i dont really have anything to say abt his veganism he’s just Like That because parrot(cause god knows chickens are omnivores)

he has a beak that he uses for nuts and seeds and he can make bird noises!

And he’s got a small feathery tail that isnt useful for much but does look cool

Even though he can’t fly Tommy does have a third eyelid like a bird, it goes side to side and is transparent, he mostly just uses it while gliding or swimming

Enderian!Ranboo

Very tall boy with very long arms

Honestly very similar to dsmp!ranboo

Water burns him like acid and leaves behind very distinctive burn scars but he heals pretty easily from water burns

He is Constantly bamboozled by people wearing pumpkins and he’s Not a fan

Ranboo can open unhinge his jaw and open his mouth like an enderman, and he has like an extra layer of mouth skin like a snake that you can only see when his mouth is unhinged

He’ll avoid eye contact at all cost because it agitates him and gets him unreasonably angry at whoever he’s talking to, the others have gotten very good at avoiding eye contact with him, though

Teleporting is a lot of fun to him and he’ll sometimes just teleport around just for the sake of it, because he can sense the change in location when teleporting in a way humans with ender pearls cant

Enderians are the results of people trying to fuse together with end-based magic and so all of them have the half and half texture of their skin, but most of them all have the same powers

Speaking of skin, Ranboo’s ender skin is strangely smooth and he doesn’t have a protruding nose, just slits in his face he smells through

He also doesn’t have any body hair at all, but his long ears generally distract from that

Elytrian!Phil

Phil is an incredibly light person, compared to a human he’d be dangerously underweight

He’s essentially skin, hollow bones, and elytra because if he was anything else he wouldn’t be able to fly especially with armor on

However this and his hollow bones means he’s pretty weak in all areas, especially underground

Thanks to his Brain he gets slow and weak under low ceilings and also sadge

Aside from the kind of unearthly tint to his skin Phil looks pretty human, aside from the elytra of course

He’s got insect wings protected by an elytra. So, elytra on beetles and things are kind of like a half circle protecting the wings and pressing them to the body of the beetle, and this works because beetles are wing shaped- phil is not

So, phil has very unique elytra that completely encase his wings, and the top part moves out of the way to let his wings fold out so they’re like twice his height- and that partially adds to his dislike of low ceilings, he can barely stretch his wings

Phil’s got fragile beetle wings so they look pretty fragile but they can withstand a beating and carry Phil a ways(though it’s partially phil’s innate magic that lets him shoot into the sky)

Phil has a transparent third eyelid just like Tommy

And, he has antennae that he uses to feel the wind while flying

Merling!Niki

Niki essentially has two types of skin: a human-looking thick layer of skin that covers the upper portion of her body and an even thicker scale-like layer that covers the lower half

Her human-like skin is very rough and it doesn’t absorb water like human skin does, the scales are smooth but also don’t absorb water

She has two legs and a long, thick tail she uses to propel herself through the water, the tail is entirely covered in her blue scales

Her hands and feet are webbed so when she swims she spreads her hands out to help push herself through the water

Niki also has decorative fins on various places on her body like her ears, legs, arms and stomach, they’re all blue and can’t be controlled in anyway

She’s got gills on her neck to help filter water, so when she wants to talk to people above water she has to stick just her head out of the water and leave her neck beneath it

Breathing in air and rain at the same time is extremely uncomfortable and leaves her constantly feeling short of breath but she considers it well worth it to walk on land for a period of time

She also has sharp teeth because: yes

She doesn’t have eyelids, though, her eyes are built like a fish’s

Blazeborn!Jack

Jack constantly gives off heat, he wont burn anyone but you’ll get very hot if you stand too close to him for too long

He has metallic blaze skin that glows like molten metal if he was recently on fire or in lava

You know su!peridot’s augments she had at her intro, jack can like do that with his clawed fingers. Just like detach them at will and control them but they can’t go very far from him so it isnt very useful

And, of course, he’s immune to poison and hunger because he’s basically an android, he’s like a gold material and metal cant get poisoned or hungry

Jack will, however, become fatigued if he’s away from intense heat like fire or lava for too long, like a week

He gets hurt in water because the water basically sucks the heat away from him and that actually hurts him

Staying in a cold biome too long would do the same thing if jack didnt go prepared with warm clothing and probably a flint and steel but tbf to jack humans also die in cold biomes if they’re unprepared

I’ve got nothing for fragranceman right now as i’m not sure if schlatt’s going to be on the server a lot

But i might make skins for these!

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

I just found out I'm 5 weeks after a few cycles of trying. I knew it would be rough but ur kind of scaring me now lol. I always hear mothers saying stuff like "Pregnancy was the best!" or "I miss being pregnant!" and people do it over and over again, so there must be something to love about it. Right?

Of course! there’s plenty to love about it:

many people lament the changes their body goes through during pregnancy, especially the bump growing. personally? i fucking love it. literally i’ve never loved the way my body looks more than right now, and i used to be fit as fuck. i was sleek and curvy and all sorts of hot, i look EXACTLY the opposite now and yet i LOVE it.

the dips of my stretch marks, my huge slowly rounding belly, my jiggle thighs, my muffin top hips spilling over my pants, my skin is SO fucking soft, i seriously cant keep my hands off myself. if my tits werent plagued by lymphedema i’d probably love them too, but in a sleep bra they look sooooo good in my new maternity shirts. ESPECIALLY ruffle blouses. i genuinely adore the way i look heavily pregnant, and i will absolutely miss it terribly.

i mentioned before that i hate the rolls and swishes (especially the stretches) but i LOVE kicks. seeing my belly move around is surreal and kind of freaky, but in an amazing way. kicks are so... assertive. “i’m here! i’m alright! i’m growing patiently! i’m exercising!” it’s so soothing to know they’re doing well in there, in a place i can’t reach them. i’ll poke them back and they’ll react! it’s so sweet. getting kicked in the butthole isnt so sweet, but i do think its funny tbh.

learning their routine in there is so nice in a weird way. i know what foods they react strongly to(baby loves spicy), and how they react to light. they like to settle on one side of my belly button or the other, and i can feel their head (or ass?) just hanging out there. resting. i can caress my baby through my skin. it’s gross but its so lovely.

i get to park in the expectant parking spots heehee >:3c (i already have a blue badge, but when the blue spots are full, there’s still a close space for me most of the time) i always do an evil little laugh when i pull in like im doing crimes.

my hair still falls out, but not nearly as much as it did pre-pregnancy. it gets greasy a lot slower too.

i still get pimples, but not nearly as many as i did pre-pregnancy. (T1 doesnt count. T1 was like Puberty 2. hopefully yours isnt as blegh)

i’m compelled beyond understanding to drink TONS of water. I have never drank this much daily water in my LIFE. i am extremely hydrated and feel healthy.

i’m compelled beyond understanding to get into the sunlight. i stand outside for a few moments on sunny days and feel like im photosynthesizing. i never did this before now.

im generally more optimistic rather than doomscrolling my own brain for hours a day.

i feel more responsible, i feel like the decisions i make have a future in mind rather than impulsivity. i feel purposeful. my mental health has improved drastically.

i eat so much more fruit than i used to

my sleep is plagued by nightmares sure but i sleep SO fast now. it used to take me hours to fall asleep. now it’s mere minutes. is this how the other side lives???

people are way more willing to help me, and other parents readily and eagerly answer a complete strangers random questions like “was that expensive? is it easy to use? does it fit in your car well?” that from any other person would feel upsetting and invasive. i was looking at nipple balm confusedly in target a few months ago and a total stranger called out to me and asked if i needed help, then pointed out which are vegan, which have this or that ingredient, which allergens to be aware of, which have a strong smell, which were oily or lotion-y, and when i picked one (earth mama butter) just said “great choice, you’re gonna smell so good. good luck babe!” and left with her cute toddler who was happily chanting “nip-ple, nip-ple, nip-ple,”. ideal interaction. i still think about that woman. she smelled like cheerios and strawberries.

there’s plenty to love and enjoy, just like theres plenty to hate and be miserable about.

and when it comes to people who say “pregnancy was the best! i miss it!” i personally have a feeling that if it’s not because of stigma of looking “unappreciative” of pregnancy, it is because keeping an infant alive is fucking miserable, and parenting blows chunks. i’m sure that comparatively, being extremely uncomfortable and in pain for the better part of a year might actually have been the best part for them, even if they had the roughest parts.

i’ll definitely miss the way i currently feel about my body. i’ll miss the QUIET for sure, and the idleness. and ill miss sleeping so soundly, even if there’s nightmares. i’ll miss getting to shirk chores because my body hurts, and i’ll miss having 100% of my husband’s attention, but he’ll miss having 100% of mine too so at least its fair.

but........ i won’t be doing this again :^) at least unless i have free healthcare, because my GOD the bills are OUTRAGEOUS. fuck that shit.

congrats on your success, anon. it’s a rollercoaster.

Can you explain why you think eating meat isnt inherently immoral and why universal veganism is wrong? Asking cuz days ago I debated an animal rights supporter who said as many people possible should be vegan to reduce suffering as eating animals = suffering in his view, also he said farm animals use up most arable farmland

I utterly hate the discussion on animals using up farmland. It’s always used by those that have never farmed, don’t have animals and just want to argue. I’ve pointed out a million times how animals like chickens don’t need much room. Pigs. Sheep’s. Cows. They don’t need a lot of room. However because we care about animals and want them happy. We give them pastures and enclosures and ranges so they can move around and travel and eat what they want too. We can raise cattle in a forest. We cannot grow crops in a forest. We could grow apples in an orchard! But for best yield we now have to space them out. Give them pathways so we can bring machines in to harvest. And keep all animals out so they don’t harm or eat any of the yield. We as farmers have made our system amazing. We’ve gone from 40 acres to feed a family over the winter. To ten. We’ve gone from one cow giving 4 litres of milk to one cow giving 28 litres. (in India, this is an issue they have right now, which is where we base our numbers from. Therefor they need more cows to equal out the dairy needs)

This comes at a price too. You cannot expect something from nothing. Hence the fight on dairy needing more food and water. Yes they do need more then a wild animal because they are producing heavier and better. Same with croplands. Again. 40 acres was how much we used to need because we had to depend on what the soil already had in it. If the crop did poorly we had to plant more. Bigger amounts over larger areas to try and get a yield that could feed your family. Give you seed for next year and hope also some to sell. Now. Because we have new methods. Understanding and ability to understand soil, nutrients and weather we can grow better yields on 10 acres that covers all the needs we have.

You cannot expect someone working behind a desk at 8 hours a day with minimum exercise and movement to have the same caloric needs as someone like a logger. Yet vegans. Many of whom are people in a city that don’t have the need to do manual labour everyday for hours seem to think the diet they have will suit someone that’s burning thousands of calories in a far shorter amount of time. This would lead to the higher calorie needing person to have to sit and eat far more often, trying to stuff the stomach with lower calorie foods, and there is only so much one can eat and digest which can actually led to malnutrition and a decrease in work output. Simply due to no energy to be able to do the work needed.

The person in question is fighting simply on his own morals. Eating animals is wrong. Well then don’t eat animals. Yet my morals are different. We all die at some point. A good life means one with purpose. Because death is inescapable, then why waste the body? More animals have been able to live and have a good life with our methods. Not every single animal we raise goes to food. Many become breeders, pets and live out their lives on the farm. But as a vegan. True veganism means no animals should have this chance or ability to flourish because anything we do is exploiting them. Therefor we cannot use animals in any manner. We cannot help them even if it was their own fault “aka bucks with horns locked” because again. Veganism is leaving the animals to be as nature intended. I myself feel this is a huge cop out. Basically. Being vegan gives one free range to destroy habitats, ignore suffering in human and animals and ignore all pollution as long as it didn’t actively have animals involved. Aka. Palm oil is ok, burning the rainforest is ok to grow these crops. The wildlife that dies is ok because we did not eat the meat of the animals. It’s only bad when a cattle feed lot sets up after the soil is depleted. Clearly it’s the cattle lot that caused all of these factors. To me. There’s so much misinformation and disconnect with the people fighting. Many of them don’t even know what they are for as a group. Only personally. Vegans don’t think being vegan is a religion, some do. Some think being vegan is all they need to do to save the world and hold fast to that over doing any real change. The vast majority will point fingers and complain yet so few will actively go out and learn first hand about farming and food sources if it’s not in the internet. Cherry picked information at that. When we try and educate people. They say we lie. They prefer people that make up what they want to hear because that’s what they want to believe. I’ve gotten to the point I don’t really care what they want to believe because there’s just too much misinformation and people cashing in on the people that really don’t understand. Being vegan is big money too. Again. To me. Bottom line. Food is control. All threw history one can see. I grew up with stories of my family during the great potato famine. So I will never agree with removing any food sources over someone else’s morals. People need to eat. Who am I to say what I believe should dictate what goes into your stomach that keeps you healthy and well fed.

hiii could i maybe ask a q about veganism? i was wondering if u had any tips for being vegan on a budget, and maybe for someone who isnt that great of a cook lol

i think a lot of people r very intimidated by cooking but it can honestly b very easy especially with vegan food since u dont have to worry abt undercooking meat lol! i understand that there r many budget restraints on people but my fiance and i have managed to stay vegan even after i quit my last job and i didnt have a steady income but they did. a very good recipe that i just made recently has been cauliflower steak with asparagus and rosemary potatoes with carrots and mushrooms.

i started with the asparagus (dont forget to cut off the botom ends) since my stove only has the middle rack but u could def cook then on a pan and with the asparagus i just did a very basic salt pepper and lemon juice roasted in the oven in olive oil. for a whole bundle of asparagus i used maybe abt 4 tabblespoons of olive oil and 3 lemon juice. add as much salt and pepper as ud like but i would lean on the side of caution since u can always add more salt and peper but u cant take it out. just put it in a big bowl and hand mix it so that theres plenty of lemon juice and olive oil on each strand. put that in the oven at 425 for abt 20 minutes and flipping then half way through.

for the cauliflower i detached it from its leaves and cut it into abt 3/4ths inch slices this should leave u with abt 4 pieces. dont worry the florets that fall off they can still be put in the pan with the cauliflower steaks and have a nice crispy texture. i put in just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan in just a thin layer and put it on the stove at medium heat maybe just below medium high. i added garlic and then put in the cauliflower steaks and cooked them all together. i added salt and pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper and a splash of balsamic. sesame seeds and lemon juice also go very good in this abt 2 teaspoons per steak. just cook until both sides of the steak have a nice golden brown. u dont have to keep too much of an eye on these and u might want to reduce ghe heat just a lil bit so u can work on the potatoes.

for the potatoes i took abt 4 little red potatoes, 4 carrots, and 6 mushrooms. peel the carrots and get little round slices maybe abt a centimeter thick. cut the mushrooms into thin slices as well. the potatoes should b cubed and all these ingredients should b put in a bowl. i took 3 tablespoons of fake butter and i know this can b expensive to some the butter i use is the vegan version of i cant believe its not butter and it was maybe 5 dollars so if u cant afford it olive oil is still ur friend. anyway in the bowl with the butter and veggies i added a pinch of rosemary, a tablespoon of garlic and salt and pepper. if u have thyme it would also go very good in this. b liberal with the rosemary since u want that nice smell and flavor to really stand out. mix together with ur hands, yes its very messy and eill stick to ur hands but thats y u wash ur hands often when cooking. once the asparagus is done u can reuse the same baking sheet and spread ur potatoes on there. roast for abt 25 minutes and flip halfway through. once its done u have urself some dinner!

i would say that in total these three recipes took me an hour to make. it might sound like a long time but u get a lot of food out of it and its all pretty healthy. :) i hope that if u give the potatoes or califlower a try that u enjoy them. if u want something thats much simpler i would recommend like a stir fry with mushrooms, carrots, brussel sprouts, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and green onion. just go with the feel dont use too much soy sauce and serve with some rice :) if u make a lot of rice u can save some for the day after and put it in a pan with some oil and soy sauce to get some fried rice! sriracha is also very good in stir frys!

Update on my GI Distress

If you want to read more about the details of my GI issues, start here.

I had a follow up appointment with the gastroenterologist about the testing I had in January (esophageal manometry and 24-hr pH study). According to him, I had very "slight" or "no reflux", which took me completely by surprise because every doctor I've been to thusfar, including him, have told me that its some sort of reflux issue and prescribed reflux medication and lifestyle changes to reduce reflux problems. The specialist said he will refer me for one last test, a gastric emptying study, and the doctors performing it will provide a second opinion also. But he said this is likely Functional Dyspepsia.

I had never heard of this term before in my life. And to say that researching messed with my head a little bit is an understatement. Essentially (from what I understand, don't quote me) functional dyspepsia is having esophageal-gastric-intestonal symptoms like mine, but tests show that there are no abnormalities - the "functional" part.

This is kind of demoralizing to me because to some extent I've gone back to square one. I'm taking medications that may or may not be appropriate for my illness (considering they're PPI's and I supposedly don't have reflux). I'm sort of back to thinking this is all in my head??? because all of the tests so far have come back normal. And from what I've read so far, functional dyspepsia seems to be a diagnosis that they give people because they don't know exactly what's going on/don't know how to treat it.

Despite this big depression-trigger, there are some silver linings to this particular diagnosis, if it's indeed what I have:

there aren't black-and-white rules about eating; with a lot of other stomach and related disorders, there are usually lists of what people should and shouldn't have (or they should be vegan or gluten-free or lactose-free or whathaveyou); with this diagnosis, there are certain trends people have noticed (i.e. tomatoes) but diet is not set across the board

the fact that my physical health has greatly affected my mental health is valid; I mean it was before, but with this diagnosis it seems that a common approach is to go into therapy and start on anti-depressants; this is kind of a downer because I'll have to keep living like this but its also kind of encouraging to me that its not just me???

this isnt necessarily lifelong; there's no set amount of time for this diagnosis - so I could live with it for my whole life, but at some point it may dissipate, who knows

Just to cover my bases, I'm going to talk to my doctor about testing for IBS and/or endometriosis... I'd rather not have something like those fly under the radar just because the first portion of my digestive tract is healthy. I'm also going to reassess my medication for my mental health - if I'm going to be dealing with this for a while, I'd like to "get back on my feet" mental health-wise. The last couple months have been too rough for this to continue and I'm going to need a little help in order to get the ball rolling.

To some extent, there's also a sense of letting go with this particular diagnosis. I feel like its highlighted to me how much I've been postponing things "until I get better" when really I should be focusing on what I can do now. I don't know how long I'll be sick for, so its not necessarily fair to myself to hold on tightly to things I might not have the physical or mental capacity to do. Instead, I want to shift focus to things I can foreseeably do in my current state - rather than wait until I'm better to make and start ticking off a bucket list, for example, I can take on the bucket list now. That sort of thing.

Because of the increased depression recently, a lot of my mind has been set on all the things I can't, and may not ever be able to do. So I've dedicated a portion of my wallspace to posting sticky-notes of things I can still do. I can't do everything people my age or my friends are doing, but there are still things I can do. This illness takes up enough of my life already, I can't let it completely paralyze me or make me think I am helpless.

Easier said than done of course, haha!

If anyone else deals with functional dyspepsia, I'm open to input

MORE things about Dave, personality and physical stuff edition

reminder; my Dave is not William. they are two separate characters in my AU. please do not call my Dave 'William'

Dave is a pretty sarcastic and cocky acting person around Henry and Mike. its part of his genuinely personality but also somewhat an act he keeps up, since its the only one he can do that doesnt worry people

when alone, hes left with his thoughts that cause him to spiral down into a train station of ideas and scenarios. if in too deep, it takes a couple seconds for someome to snap him out of it

very, very rarely does he actually talk about his issues. if counted, its only about a few times in his life

since he works the dayshift and has to watch over the kids, he is pretty protective of them. if there are kids who are far from their parents, he'll stand near them until hes sure they're okay

if there is a bullied kid, he'll pull the kid away from the bullies and bring them to their parents, telling them what had happened. sometimes it leads to parents fighting, but he likes it since it lets him know the parents care for their kids

if there is a lost kid, he will refuse to leave the child alone until he finds their parents. depending on how the parents act, Dave will get upset with them and start talking smack, and either Henry or Mike have to step in to stop it

he doesnt have the best hygiene. he bathes and does his laundry, uses cologne and breath mints, but he doesnt really brush his teeth or wash his hair well. his teeth are always yellow and his hair is usually pretty oily. he doesnt get as much sleep as he should either, so theres constant bags under his eyes

he refuses to go to therapy or do any type of help for himself. from a young age he hated it becauee he didnt want to talk about what happened to him, and he still doesnt want to

despite this, he knows a lot about psychology, more than he thinks he does. he knows different methods of self-care, reflection, exercises, psychological approaches, he can even tell sometimes when someone is hiding their illness. he never applies this to himself

on weekdays, he's always seen in his work clothes and barely in anything else. on weekends, he usually wears hoodies, graphic tees, sweatpants, and the same cheap pair of sneakers he's had since high school

there isnt a lot of people that he interacts with after work or on days off. he spends most of his time by himself. he actually subconsciously does a good few amounts of distracting coping mechanisms to stop his mind from wandering

he used to hate any nickname he got where the word 'droop/droopy' was used. it wasnt until into his dayshift that regular costumers, kids and pre-teens, called him 'Droopy' and he felt a little better with them using it since they were younger and knew they were just using a silly nickname

he does sometimes make remarks that have to do with self harm and death, only really in front of Mike and Henry, in which they simply stare at him and say he should tone it down. sometimes he does, sometimes he doesnt

at some point he does become aware of the souls that are in the pizzeria. at first hes obviously terrified and thinks theyre going to haunt him, but later on he warms up to them, and they warm up to him. he doesnt like to pick favorites, but he does feel particularly closer to Samuel (the bite of 83' victim)

he can actually be one of the things that calm the souls down when they become rowdy or upset. Henry admires him for that

he self harms in a pretty gap pattern, only doing it at the lowest points of his mental state. rarely, he might even pick at his stab scars, which wont do much since they've healed over the years

he actually eats more healthy foods than most would think. its not like all he eats his healthy stuff, but Mike will catch him eating his lunch which is a salad or some vegan sandwiches and treats. but he does eat junk food a little more than healthy food

hes pretty skinny, hes a good bit over the line of being unhealthly thin, but he manages fine with it

hes got boney long fingers, which he attempts its fun to sometimes scare Mike with them

he actually agrees to hang out with Mike everytime hes invited to after work. he has fun being around him, talking to him, and spending time with him. he finds Mike to be a chill and judge free person. he doesnt know about Mike's past

he likes Henry a lot, and respects him as a boss way more than the last boss he had at his old job. he does get nervous talking to him sometimes, obviously since he is an authority figure, but he does warm up to him quickly everytime

he doesnt know who William Afton is, and has no idea he was the guy who hurt him back in '87

hi 1. thanks for all that you do with this account it’s awesome man and 2. y’all don’t ask this account about eating habits and losing weight and all that, this isnt the place for it and y’all shouldn’t put home girl in a weird position... xxx

Thank you! And I appreciate that, but I’m actually happy to answer questions about nutrition.  For part of my university degree, I took nutrition courses and (ironically) worked for a little bit doing research on the long-term health benefits of short-term fasting (because the universe has a sense of humor).  (I think) I have a relatively good handle on how nutrition and weight loss work, and so I’d kind of prefer people ask me their questions than to find paleo or raw vegan or frutitarian or fasting (or just straight up ED) videos on YouTube and think that that’s the “right” way to lose weight.

What’s hard for me is that I can’t tell where nutrition and diet questions are coming from emotionally.  Does this person already have an eating disorder or are they predisposed to one, and in that case, am I just fueling it?  Are they trying to lose weight for their health?  Will they stop when they’re at a healthy weight, or will they push it until they’re unhealthy? Are there other people who would potentially be triggered into disordered eating behaviors if I answer this question?  Should I be suggesting this person see a therapist instead of giving them information on how weight loss works?  It’s hard to be responsible when you don’t have a lot of context to go off of, which is why I try to be as factual as possible.

❛ ⋆ ․˙✰ nora grace nguyen is graduating in a month with plans to attend harvard in the fall to study law and political science. four years complete and she’s leaving the hamptons being remembered as the zealous, which makes perfect sense considering how articulate, venturesome, pugnacious, and unpredictable she is. that title landed them the senior class superlative of most likely to be arrested for organizing a sit- in protest at the local kill shelter. you’ll know they’re around when you hear hierarchy - cailin russo coming from a car this summer. speaking of summer, i hear their plans are to spend it doing a part-time internship at a law firm. morning coffee and afternoon boba, shiba cuddles, sitting in during public court cases, and plaid skirts with oversized knit sweaters.

hello it me ellie (she/her/hers pronouns) and this is nora! i havent done an intro or been in a rp in 10 years so please excuse this post if its awkward n stuff im cringing just writing this bc i forgot how awkward an intro post is like wow... ANYWAYS! i’m vv excited to b here and rp with u guys, love u guys, b here w u guys, all that nice cute stuff w u guys!!! 

u can read nora’s stats here and learn more about her here but like that page is  really long n lengthy so i’m gonna some her up for u guys as best as i can but if its gets long n lengthy too pls forgive me thank u im trying 

her family is wealthy bc of their role in pharmacy work. their family owns  a couple pharmacies (mainly in new york, new jersey, n rhode island) and has some investments in other companies as extra money

theyre wealthy and could stop working for like maybe 10 years if they pleased, but the nguyens dont rest and thats y nora’s parents are absent alot 

bc her parents r absent since theyre always working, nora had to grow up faster to b independent and also raise her younger sister, daisy jane

shes mature but only bc asian parents love handing off parenting duties to their eldest daughter and that happens to b nora! it’s only two of them but still she gave up part of her childhood to p much raise daisy jane on her own despite her parents being alive n healthy

shes a big time activist and feminist and is very upfront about how she feels about certain things and about policies and regulations she thinks should b changed/fixed/removed/etc. 

her dream is harvard and thats been her only dream and plan since she was born. her parents gave it to her and she’s never changed it bc (1) her parents r strict n (2) she craves their acceptance and wants to make them proud and if it means listening to what they want from her then she’ll do it 

shes v open about what she believes in and will talk about it and will also fight for it. 

shes always willing to fight someone and have a debate over anything like it’s more fun for her if its something surrounded politics or stuff going on around the world but also if u wanna argue about how people who aren’t lactose intolerant are abnormal then she’ll b a square bc its literally not normal for ur body to still b able to breakdown lactose enzymes 

shes somewhere in the top 10/15 of the entire class, but shes worked hard to get where she is. studying doesnt come easy to her and she doesnt have photographic memory. she feels really dumb bc of that and hates how she has like... work to get the grade bc she wishes she was smart n could read the textbook once and get it but shes not wired like that n so  a bitch struggles w that n feeling like shes not as smart as her parents want her to b n it doesnt help that her parents let her know that

shes v sarcastic n argumentative and funny and sometimes sexual but she’d never act on those sexual things she says shes an innocent n too shy to b upfront like that u feel 

like she never deters from an argument n hates losing but if u say something too sexual for her n make an initiative to do it then she’ll back down n shy away like thats the only way u can win an argument w her otherwise she’ll keep pulling shit out of her ass until she wins or u call some truce (but in nora’s mind she won bc who backs away from a fight? hm not her!)

nora struggles talking about her feelings and will literally not talk about deep shit about herself like  ya she’ll voice her opinions n fight for it n shit but if u wanna talk about her parent’s incoming divorce, her academic struggles, her need for her parents acceptance, n shit like that then good luck trying to make her talk n shit  bc she wont unless ur close to her and have her 100% complete trust 

this is already long and im blanking on what to include bc idk whats important important about nora that i need to include here but! feel free to read the tidbits page for her u’ll get to know nora better n  know lil like... things about her like hades, veganisms, protests, driving, etc. 

i’m also a slut for plots so if u wanna plot with me for ur chara and nora then please reply to this with a word or something so i know and i’ll come to u!! id tell u guys to like this post n then i’ll come to u but sometimes im not sure if people  r liking the post so its like.. an acknowledgment or bc they actually wanna plot idk if that makes sense pls help me?? ANYWAYS below r some connection ideas that i thot would b cool for nora aha x 

neighbors! 

(1) theyre friendly and hung out a lot bc u kno neighbors n its easy to go to each others houses. the person would also b friends w nora’s little sister daisy jane bc when theyre home and nora is on parent duty she n daisy jane r a duo 

(2) theyre not friendly n they cant stand each other we love a good notp! we can expand more  on this if ur interested but rn my mind is blanking

childhood besties:

(1) maybe things went sour and now theyre enemies like maybe its a betrayal or something but like! besties for the resties to besties for never r always so beautiful im a slut for those type of connections

(2) things didnt go sour but they just drifted and now theyre kinda awkward but try really hard for it to not b awkward??  they knew each other like the back of their hands and now theyre kinda like?? r u still the same or did u change?? whats up whats happening??? 

one sided crush: nora could have a crush on them thats ongoing or is new, but its just a crush and nora actually acting on it is so so rare like she’ll punch someone for saying some racist shit to her but will cry if someone forces her to shoot her shot

(1) maybe the person knows and teases her for it n nora hates them for it but is also like :) but also :( u feel like does that even make sense? 

(2) the person doesnt kno n is kinda just like what the fuck y is nora so timid n shy around me when she just decked a guy for blatantly littering at the beach and saying the beach should b more trash cans if they didnt want people littering 

enemies! 

friends!

tutor: maybe a tutor?? like nora isnt dumb and shes not failing like she’s in the top 10 of  the class but that doesnt mean she’s the smartest person and not struggling trying to keep her grades up. having someone she can study with n can like. help her would b really good for her 

(1) twist is that it could b secretive bc maybe nora doesnt want people knowing that she has a tutor or that the person tutoring her is her tutor for whatever reason. again i can expand on this if ur interested!!!!

bad influence: someone to get her to wild n out n like tell her to forget her parents n responsibilites n shit. maybe make her hoe it out so she can stop getting cold u feel what im saying?? idk if u do im literally just rambling at this point im so sorry

i’m out of connection ideas rn but! if none of these r interesting enough for u then we can do something else like if u have a connection u want filled or like??? we can just think of something else that’ll b more fitting im down for anything n everything
