#which is added weight PLUS they might break

[deep-sea-anemone]

Using Gaia for the first time to plan my Yellowstone trip. Think I fucked it up cause it says I'm hiking 36mi but I think I accidentally made the route double back at some point so I think it's probably more like 28. Can't figure out how to use the editing option, maybe it's easier on desktop.

"I'm just saying, you might wanna pull over," Satoru hummed, fiddling with the aux chord hanging from your dashboard radio.

"It's fine," you say, more to convince yourself than him.

The rain has been coming down in sheets, fat droplets smacking violently against your windshield as your headlights struggle to cut through the deluge and the dark, forcing you to squint for any visibility. You've been alternating between a slow crawl and normal speed, but as your tires lose traction in a particularly nasty pool of water on the road your grip on the wheel turns white knuckle.

"We're almost there anyway," you mutter, irritation high in your voice, trying not to show how that brief hydroplane rattled you.

You knew he was right, but it felt like a poor idea to waste time sitting on the shoulder of the road in the dark until the storm let up.

"Feeling stubborn tonight?" his tone is light, mischievous. You don't dare take your eyes off the road but your brow furrows, about to tell him now isn't the time for antics until the warm caress of his hand against your thigh makes you jump in your seat, the seatbelt catching.

His hand doesn't stop, lithe fingers trailing a path up beneath your skirt to trace the hem of your panties, nudging his thumb dangerously close to your clit. It feels like your hearts pounding through your throat, and your pussy.

"Satoru what-"

"You didn't want to stop, right? So drive." he says airly, as if his fingers aren't stroking against you through your underwear, as if he can't feel how wet you are, as if this is just an ordinary action.

You swallow thickly, hands gripping the steering wheel so hard you think you might snap it in half. He keeps his hand there for what feels like an eternity, and out of your peripheral you can tell he's smugly enjoying the way your breathing takes up an uneven pace, the way you struggle to justify not immediately pulling over.

Really, you don't want to give him the satisfaction.

Your thighs flex together, the muscles on the verge of cramping and you can't help the whimper that escapes you as his thumb presses down firmly against your clit. If you didn't have any wherewithal you probably would've jerked the wheel, sending you both flying into a ditch.

"I can't," you finally snap, "I'm pulling over."

Before you start slowly putting weight on the break his finger pushes past the hem of your panties, swiping through your soaked slit as your breathing hitches. Broken gasps crowd the air in the car as he plunges a finger inside you, making you slam your foot on the brake as the car rocks you both forward on the shoulder of the road.

"I thought we were almost there anyway?" He teased, curling his finger against your walls and making you squish his hand between your thighs as you frantically pressed them together, struggling to shift the car into park.

"We would've been," you cut yourself off in a moan, pressing your forehead to the steering wheel to catch your breath. "If you could control yourself-"

"Not my fault you wore that cute little skirt today," you hear his seatbelt unbuckle before feeling his fingers ghost against the back of your neck. "Plus you're so stubborn, it drives me crazy."

You leaned back, trying to control your breathing as he flipped your skirt up and added a second finger as your thighs relaxed. The windshield was already fogging, making it feel like only the two of you existed on this desolate stretch of roadway, or like you'd accidentally crossed the threshold of some liminal place.

"Toru-" you mumbled as his lips found yours, speaking into his mouth as one whispers to a revenant, "Need more, s'not enough."

As your eyes flutter open you see a cocky grin painting his features, it makes your cunt clench around his fingers. You always give in so easily when it's him.

You clamber awkwardly over to the passenger seat after he withdraws his fingers, straddling his hips and popping the buttons of your blouse as his hand gently massages over your tummy and those crystalline eyes devour every plane of skin in his view.

"Isn't this better?," he asks, voice on the edge of hoarseness before your lips capture his in an all consuming kiss, the kind that burns away the senses to leave you raw and aching.

Whines pass from your lips to his as he digs his fingers into your ass, spurring the movement of your hips as you grind down against his clothed erection. Your eager hands work the buttons and zipper of his pants open, pulling his swollen, leaking cock out and stroking it gently, smearing precum around the flushed tip.

"You wanted to do this the whole time," you whisper, lips hovering just barely against his own as you smirk. His cock glides easily through your wet folds as he keeps your panties pulled to the side, slipping the tip inside with ease. The way Satoru groans beneath you makes your head spin, getting easily intoxicated off the rising heat and the way he fills you up like he was meant to be inside you.

"Pervert," you drawl against the shell of his ear, bracing one hand against the headrest as the other tugs on his alabaster locks. As you slide down to the hilt you roll your head back, enjoying the feeling of being full of him while he squeezed your breasts through your bra.

His hips buck up, catching you off guard as he sucked a sloppy trail down the side of your neck.

"I'm gonna fuck you until you cry," you don't get a chance to respond, squealing as he sets a brutal, frantic pace bouncing you up and down on his cock. The messy squelching of being in such a confined space makes your chest burn, hot with equal parts arousal and embarrassment.

He can easily reach your most sensitive spots, too deep for your fingers to brush, as you claw at the headrest in a last ditch attempt to anchor yourself against the flames curling around the edges of your mind, pressure building hard and fast inside your abdomen.

Through ragged breaths he mocks you, "You love getting fucked by a perv in your car huh? Like a slut-"

His thrusts become slow but no less deep, his fingers digging into your ass, surely to leave behind wine stain bruises and half moon indents of his nails in your skin. It feels like you're listening to him speak through a cardboard tube pressed to your ears, a lightness permeating your body as you feel that pop of pressure in your gut.

Your mouth drops open in a silent wail, eyes screwed shut as your thigh muscles flex so hard it feels like they're made of stone. His fingers circle your sensitive clit, flicking against it just to hear you yelp.

You shake in his hold, hands twisting the fabric of his shirt and press your face against the juncture of his neck and shoulder.

"You gonna cry, baby?" He cooed, one hand gripping the back of your neck as a mother cat grips her kittens. "Lemme see-"

Maybe it's the look of your watery eyes, pupils blown out and brimming with lust, that do him in but Satoru doesn't last much longer, pressing his forehead to yours as he holds your hip down in his other hand, as if he could meld you two together from sheer willpower alone.

Sitting held prone by his grip you can feel his cock throbbing with every spurt of cum that floods your cunt, your skin quickly becoming chilled by the sheen of sweat as you pant.

You feel cold and heavy as stone as you wind your arms around his neck, pressing haphazard kisses to his cheek and enjoying the way he nuzzles his nose against you.

In the quiet of the car the sound of the rain slowing is what drags you back to be present in your body. No longer the sound of harsh, unrelenting drops pelting the metal but a gentle murmuring pitter-patter that soothes your overloaded nerves.

"You're still a pervert," you finally say, lifting off his lap and readjusting your panties. Feeling his cum seep out against the fabric sends a shiver of satisfaction down your spine once your back in the driver's seat.

"I'm a pervert that was right about pulling over though," he cheekily shoots back while tucking his cock back into his pants before giving you one of his characteristic easy smiles.

"Don't let it go to your head," you sigh, shifting gears to drive and flicking on your turn signal.

Suptober 2024 - Prompt: Sigils

This ficlet is called "Except Cas" and you can also find it on AO3 here.

"Dean." Cas starts, sitting back up as he breaks their kiss. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure." Dean says, studying him while he is laid down on the bed with the angel straddling his upper thighs.

"I'd like to change the sigils on your ribs to be able to find you when I want to." Cas admits, without looking at Dean, he focuses on his fingers tracing soft, random patterns on Dean's chest instead.

"What? Like adding an 'except Cas' at the end?" Dean asks jokingly.

"I searched for it and it's more complicated than that. Plus it might hurt so if you don't want to I understand." Cas still can't look at him, while minutes ago he was kissing him hungrily.

"No, no, I'm fine with that. I mean I'm not against you finding me easily, especially in case of emergency." Dean accepts, taking Cas's hand in his, which makes the angel look at him a bit astonished.

"It's useful not only for emergency you know." Cas smiles and Dean thinks this is a slight smirk so he definitely wants to know more.

"For what then?" Dean wonders curiously.

"I - I could hear your longing better." Cas confesses.

"Oh - oooh." Dean realizes. "That can come in handy." Dean jokes.

"Exactly." Cas answers, definitely smirking this time, and his hand slide down along Dean's ribs, on his stomach, to end up on the bulge in his boxer briefs. Cas strokes his length through the fabric and gets a groan from the man under him. “Handy.” Cas whispers against Dean’s lips, while his hand snakes under the fabric and takes him, loosely working with his fist around Dean’s length.

He doesn’t kiss him though, and Dean groans from frustration this time, but not for so long.

Cas takes Dean’s cock out of his boxer briefs and pours some lube in his hands. They work beautifully around it while Cas can’t stop looking at the hunter this time, studying every single one of his reactions. And he smirks again when he feels Dean’s hips trying to chase his hands with difficulty under his weight. So, he wipes one of his hand on the sheets and places it on Dean’s sternum to hold him down.

“Cas.” Dean moans and the angel can feel it resonating under his hand, the other still bobbing Dean’s cock. “Do it now.” Dean suggests between moans.

“Are you sure?” Cas hesitates because he knows this might hurt.

“Do it, Cas!” Dean orders, he is already so close. “Now!” Dean insists. So, Cas does as told. He changes the sigils on Dean’s ribs while still trying to make him fall over the edge.

Dean feels like his whole chest is tingling. It hurts and it's longer than last time because it's more complicated but that hand on his chest filling him with grace mixed with the feeling of Cas's hand working around is cock is too good. With the pain and the pleasure he feels, he reaches his orgasm while Cas’s eyes shine bright above him.

“Are you alright, Dean?” Cas worries, his eyes back to normal, but still with his usual unnatural shade of blue. Dean’s breath is still jerky but it’s slowing down. Cas cleans them both before Dean even realizes he needed to be. Then Cas lies down on the hunter, kissing his forehead. “Answer me, please.” He talks softly.

“Yeah yeah I’m fine. So is it done?” Dean asks, closing his eyes at the angel’s soft touches on his still oversensitive body.

“It is. I can now find you easily when you need me to.” Cas explains, kissing Dean’s lips tenderly.

“Great.” Dean sighs, relaxed.  

“You should do the same for Sammy.” Dean suggests, his eyes still closed. Then he realizes what he just said, when Cas stops kissing and stroking him softly, and opens his eyes widely, “Not the same same. But you know, the sigils thing.”

“I will, Dean.” Cas answers, smiling against his neck, then kisses and bites him there.

“What are you doing?” Dean asks, definitely not against what’s happening.

“I can hear your longing now. I know that you want me to fuck you and I attend to give you what you want.” Cas confesses, against Dean’s chest, licking his nipple on his way down. And Dean bites his lower lip in anticipation. “I love you too.” Cas responds to Dean’s longing and Dean pulls him up to kiss him again.

Thank you @wigglebox for that list of prompts and especially this one, it was really inspiring for me, I do have another idea in my drafts for sigils.

[armoredprincess]

I've Posted enough about this chart that it's time to reallty talk about my problems with it, as a regular in the art of hitting other people. My word is not final, but then this chart's no gospel either.

A lot of my issue with this chart is the dissonance between its intended audience and the people sharing it. Like, people I follow on here are leaving bruises much bigger than you'd get with Amazon riding crops. Things change if you scale up, though. An open slap is not the same as a knuckle. A lot of this is derived from my preference for fists, though I think it applies to any hard, inflexible implement, and also I'll take opportunities to talk about other tools.

Part by part, though: first, the back of the neck. Hitting someone here can cause permanent, disabling, even fatal spinal injuries. Boxers have all but died on TV due to "rabbit punches". Labeling the back of the neck as merely high risk is intolerably incompetent.

Wrists, elbows and knees suffer similar issues. Joints are full of small parts ready to move out of place. I would worry about a torn tendon as a result of hitting these from any conceivable angle.

Thighs are long pads of fat and muscle covering the strongest bone in the body. There is no reason why the inner thighs should be higher risk than the outer, unless you miss and whack their balls. Speaking of...

Genitals famously hurt. They can also take more damage than their pain threshold would suggest. That said, testicles are basically internal organs that happen to be on the outside. They have no bone or muscle protection. This is part of the reason why CBT is kind of its own set of practices, intertwined with but distinct from impact play, which brings me to the core of my issue: this chart is not in agreement with itself about acceptable range of force. If your idea of impact play is hitting someone with a hard implement, maybe stay away from genitals? And if your thing is genital torture, then this chart is all but useless to you.

Hands and feet are the same thing: a fairly consistent bone structure spindling out into delicate joints. I suspect the only reason hands are labeled safer than feet is because of optics and practice: it's more normal to slap the back of someone's hand, so we do it more, so it seems safer. Whether this means the central hands/feet are higher or lower risk is up to you. Consider that palms and soles are springy, padded and built to bear weight. I'd stay away from fingers and toes, and the Achilles tendon.

On the subject of consistency, the upper arm and forearm are very similar, except the upper arm has more fat and muscle. IMO you could label both safe. I don't know why the armpits are a no-go. Which brings me to the torso.

Breasts, like genitals, can take more punishment than their pain response suggests. Plus, it's as easy to break a rib as it is to like, puncture internal organs: not too easy, but possible. My problem here is the lack of granularity indicating what might make that happen, or how "safe" injuries in one place can be trouble elsewhere. You can flog someone all over the orange torso areas at low risk; a harder implement, not so. But then, the relatively harmless (assuming proper aftercare) cuts left by a torso whipping would be an ugly affair on the genitals.

You can have a lot more fun than this chart suggests if you look into your weapon of choice. Aside from the torso, the most representative issue here is the head. You can really forehand slap the shit out of someone ten times in a row and be fine. If you start adding knuckles in, you might be looking at cut cheeks, maybe concussions. Which might be your thing. Make it your thing knowingly. It's rarely about force, that's what the safeword is for: it's about what you're applying force with.

TW: mention of sucide

Hello Mr Haitch,

I hope you and your family are doing well. I just had another final exam and let's just say it didn't go well. I have another one tmr but I feel like nothing is going well. I tried to identify the problem whether it was my depression or anxiety but it was bad and it didn't help.

Everything just came crashing down on me after the exam, and I never felt so hollow before. I did have one or two thoughts about ending my life, but the aftermath of it being the guilt my friends and family will experience stopped me. However, I keep getting the thoughts of me failing and it doesn't help that I don't have a confirmed spot in any future education or industry to give me the reassurance I need. This plus the added weight to do better than my older siblings doesn't help my situation at all.

I don't know what to do. I feel like running away from all of these problems even though I know it is a phase of my life but it is eating me alive. I'm having the most fucked up sleep schedule because of it and I thinking I'm losing myself in the process. I know it sounds as if I need professional help, which I gotten, but it is ineffective in helping since the therapist just says the same advice over and over again(or I might be too stubborn to listen to her advice? I'm not sure myself).

I supposed I just "chill" as what everyone tells me but I don't know how not even in the slightest. I apologize again for unloading my problems onto you, Mr Haitch. I just don't know what to do or feel other than yanking myself off a building.

- academically lost and now depressed anon :×××

That's rough, and I mean really rough. I know there's nothing I can say that will make this better for you - but what I can say is that suicide isn't an answer to what you're going through. It might feel like it but it isn't.

One thing I've always tried to emphasise to my students is that you never get just one shot at what you want. Life is always twisty turny, and if your first attempt doesn't succeed there will be other chances, or even alternative routes waiting further down the line.

With that said - don't write yourself off early. Between these two asks it sounds like you're expecting to fail, and considering what you're going through that's to be expected. Depression corrupts our perceptions - particularly the way we look at our present, past, and future. We get stuck in that loop of "this is shit, it's always been shit, so it will continue to be shit".

Every time I have gotten that low, every time my perceptions have been clouded like that, I've been wrong. Dead wrong. I just had to give it time and find my way back to see it.

But this will only be helpful when you've reached the other side of what you're experiencing. So take things small: set the distant future aside and focus on the small things. Focus on getting sleep, on eating and drinking enough. Focus on taking as many breaks and breathers as you need. Move forward step by step, at whatever pace you can manage, and I promise you will get through this.

You may still surprise yourself.

Be safe.

Pineapple Skin – The Superfood Hiding in Plain Sight

When you think of pineapples, it’s the juicy, sweet fruit that probably comes to mind. But what if we told you that the pineapple’s skin might be the real treasure here? Yes, that often-overlooked outer layer, usually tossed in the trash, is packed with nutrients and benefits that can elevate your health. Let’s dive into why pineapple skin deserves a place in your diet!

The Untapped Potential of Pineapple Skin

Most of us cut up a pineapple, enjoy the fruit, and discard the skin without a second thought. But this habit is not only a bit wasteful—it’s also a missed opportunity for a health boost! With food waste becoming a global concern, finding ways to use every part of our produce, including pineapple skin, is more relevant than ever. Pineapple skin is edible, and by tossing it away, we lose out on its many health benefits. So, what exactly makes this rough, prickly skin so special?

Pineapple Skin Nutrients and Their Benefits

Pineapple skin may not look particularly inviting, but it holds a wealth of nutrients that can support your health in multiple ways:

Bromelain: This enzyme is abundant in pineapple skin and is known for its ability to break down proteins, aiding digestion. Plus, it’s anti-inflammatory, making it an excellent choice for reducing swelling and easing pain in conditions like arthritis.

Fiber: High in fiber, pineapple skin can keep your gut healthy by promoting regular bowel movements. Fiber also helps you feel full longer, which is beneficial for weight management and overall digestive health.

Antioxidants: Pineapple skin is loaded with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body. By fighting free radicals, these compounds can support your immune system and boost overall health.

Health Benefits of Pineapple Skin

Thanks to bromelain’s anti-inflammatory properties, pineapple skin has potential therapeutic benefits. If you struggle with chronic inflammation or digestive issues, incorporating pineapple skin might provide some relief. The fiber content also aids digestion and can keep you feeling satisfied, perfect for anyone on a weight management journey. And with its antioxidant content, pineapple skin can help defend against cellular damage from environmental factors and the stresses of daily life.

How to Use Pineapple Skin

You might be wondering how to enjoy pineapple skin without having to actually chew on the tough peel. Here are a few simple ways to incorporate it into your diet:

Pineapple Skin Tea: Boil the cleaned skin in water for 20–30 minutes, strain, and enjoy as a hot or iced tea. Adding honey or cinnamon can enhance the flavor.

Smoothies or Juices: Blend the boiled skin with other fruits to make a nutrient-packed smoothie or juice. Just be sure to strain out any tough bits after blending.

Infused Water: Let pineapple skin steep in cold water with a few slices of ginger or lemon for a refreshing and hydrating drink.

The Bottom Line

Pineapple skin may be rough on the outside, but it’s packed with nutrients that make it a superfood worth considering. By rethinking how we use every part of our fruits, we can reduce food waste and gain health benefits at the same time. So, the next time you cut up a pineapple, think twice before tossing the skin—it just might be the healthiest part!

Top 10 characters (in my opinion)

Honorable mentions: Dynamoe/Moe, Quinn, Allan, Chuck, Taylor, Koilee

I don't have much to say for like 7 of them other than that they're nice, and for top 3 that they're really cool, so I added a bit of headcannon stuff in the mix.

Lets go from bottom to top.

Skip: he's pretty cool in my opinion. A lot of my family members are in construction or something and yeah. His pet rat is cool. I dont have much to say for him, he's nice.

Ninjoy: her actual name being a part of it is nice. I find her cool and yeah don't have much to say. She's cool, however I do think that she and Dynamoe take too much of the spotlight (Dynamoe especially, plus other characters) which makes other characters not being noticed a lot or not getting a lot of content being made for them, kinda sucks for people who like more obscure characters or ones that deserve more attention.

Alberto: I just kinda like him a lot. He's one of the first characters I liked a lot and the first male character I liked.

Yuko: when I first saw her, I really loved her. She reminds me of some characters from other media I like. Her being Prudence's mom was something I didn't expect at all.

James: at first I didn't care for him but after a while he's really grown on me. In my headcannon, he does have trauma, but it doesn't affect him at all, as he kinda doesn't remember that much and isn't as big as an impact or had any other bad experience and is normal, which is basically the opposite with Mary, which I'll get to. Also what's the thing that makes him so mischaracterized so much? I kinda don't know.

Willow: she's really nice and i like her design. In my headcannon I thought of her as not being really social and some other things that I might explain, then with the help of James she can express herself more, which makes their friendship stronger.

Scooter: one of the first characters I really loved when I first saw her. I don't have a lot to say.

Penny: the first character I loved. Her design might be simple compared to others but that doesn't make her bad at all. She's the food loving girl who is in every game that is one of the most popular, would be my favorite if it weren't for these 2 existing.

Mary: OK, so Mary is probably the character I probably give the most deep headcannons for. If she never had experienced those times, she would just be like James. She has conflicting thoughts on if she does want to know the mystery behind her biological parents, is it better to find out, or is it not? She and James most likely would be total wrecks, but could've they changed? We will most likely never know. But what if I threw another thing at her? High school was one of her worst experiences, she was constantly made fun of (mostly for her weight) and gotten beaten up, however it got better in the end, as they got expelled and someone mysterious protected her. In the end, she tries to cover it, but at any really bad moment, might break. So, she masks it up by being the nice and sweet person who's silly and goofy one. Now that I think of it she's kinda like Kel from Omori. Anyways that's just the most basic explanation on her headcannon backstory.

Oh yeah she's cool asf and paints stuff, plays the bagpipes, has 2 pugs and is kinda scared of sailing. Despite all that she isn't my favorite.

Sue: this is my favorite character, I just really like her, now for some headcannon stuff. I don't have as much backstory for her, other than that somewhere between leaving school and getting her job, she got a glow up or something and was always had anger issues, that's all for backstory I have right now, but I have other things. Despite her mean side, many people only focus on that and not the true side, someone who actually cares if you're nice. There's also the questioning her sexuality thing (spoilers ig, but she's a lesbian so thats solved) and some other struggles I don't know about yet. But yeah she's awsome 11/10

I like the headcannon stuff for Mary and Sue that I might give them to ocs if I make more in the future.

17 and 39 from the Ship Asks c:

For Astala and Zevran, coming right up!

17. How well do they communicate? Are they open with their feelings/thoughts or more reserved? Why?

Astala is very open with a lot of things. She processes things better when she externalizes them, and is also very keen on looking for the community that comes with sharing burdens and joys, small and big alike. Since she has such an easy time talking about pretty much anything going on in her life, I think she'd sort of drag Zevran with her, getting him to open up more and, especially, be spontaneous in the thing he says. None of that words calculated to produce the desired effect and nothing more, you talk to discover yourself or share something, not to appease anybody!

This has one notable exception, and it's that Astala has a very hard time opening up about big problems. She generally glosses over them, or doesn't acknowledge them. This comes from having to take on responsability in the household from a pretty young age on (Adaia dies, Cyrion gets sick, she takes over the household for that time) and not having her grief over her mother's death fully acknowledged (adults are busy, the child gets left to fend for herself). Plus, if she talks about the big things, she has to think about them and they become more real. So she... doesn't.

Zevran is, on one hand, very very good at digging for these big things and pulling them out of her bit by bit. He also doesn't have that distinction between "liberally talking about little things but sweeping the big things under the rug". Rain and darkspawn or Crows can both kill you, so why complain about one but not the other? While he does keep big and dangerous things under wraps (like his feelings for the Warden if romanced), he's very frank, direct and to the point once he does talk about the big things. This helps Astala immensely, because while talking about big things does make them become real, talking about them like Zevran does also makes them knowable. He is very good at defining the problem,measuring out its real scope and weight, without any of the added drama and threatening aura Astala lays on it. They're both very complementary in this aspect and it does them so much good XD XD XD

39. When and how did they admit that they loved each other? If they haven’t yet, why?

These two take a loooooooooooooong time. Astala has been aware of the fact that she could very well fall for Zevran and tried very hard not to do that. Her feelings grew slowly and were buried under a new layer of stuff every time they reared their heads. At some point, she couldn't deceive herself any longer, however. I'm not entirely sure yet, but my preferred version of their story at the moment says that she then goes to talk to Zevran to lay all her cards on the table. It seems better to her that way. After all, if Zevran flirts with her, he should also be aware of what that flirting is bringing along.

Zevran backpedals so hard that Astala gets scared herself. Also, he does the whole "I was born of a whore and bred as an assassin; what room is there in this for love?" spiel and kinda breaks her heart. From there on there's definitely some tension to their relationship, but they remain friendly. Maybe Astala overindulges a bit in her desire to be close to him even as friends. She definitely pines. And Zevran is suddenly very, very aware of the things Astala does and doesn't do with and around him. Feelings start growing in him as well, which he vehemently denies. He stays in Orzammar while Astala goes down into the Deep Roads and suffers like a dog. Afterwards, Astala is Not Doing Well (she severely overexerts herself in the Deep Roads, physically and mentally), and he takes care of her. At this point, they might stumble into some kind of romantic intimacy, or maybe not. Everything comes to a point when Astala is captured and brought to Fort Drakon, and Zevran nearly loses his mind in worry. Shortly afterwards, he gives her the earring. He doesn't admit to his feelings and ask about hers, however, until the Landsmeet is over and they are on their way to Redcliffe.

That's as far as I've worked that bit of their story out, at least XD XD XD Things might change as I write more about Astala. Thank you so much for the asks!! Have a lovely day ^^

5 Reasons Why You Should Use a Dog Harness

As a dog owner, choosing the right gear for your furry friend is an essential part of ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. While traditional collars are common, harnesses have grown in popularity—and for good reason! If you’re considering switching to a harness or just curious about its benefits, here are five compelling reasons why a harness might be the perfect choice for your dog.

1. Better Control for Walks

Walking a dog that pulls can feel like a workout, especially if your pup is strong or energetic. Harnesses give you better control by evenly distributing pressure across your dog’s chest and shoulders, making walks smoother and more enjoyable. This is particularly useful for larger breeds or young, excitable dogs who haven’t quite mastered leash manners yet.

With a harness, you can guide your dog more easily, helping them focus and stay on track. It’s a game-changer for those who want stress-free strolls in the park or peaceful sidewalk adventures.

2. Protect Your Dog's Neck

Imagine how uncomfortable it must feel to have a collar tugging on your neck every time you pull forward! For dogs, especially small breeds or those with respiratory issues, a traditional collar can cause strain or even injury to their delicate neck area.

Harnesses distribute pressure more evenly across the chest, which helps prevent neck injuries and protects your dog’s trachea. This is a must-have for breeds prone to tracheal collapse, such as Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, or Pugs. Even for healthy dogs, it’s a safer and more comfortable option.

3. Keep Escape Artists Secure

Does your dog have a knack for wiggling out of their collar? Harnesses provide a much more secure fit, making it harder for escape artists to break free.

Whether you’re at a busy park, navigating traffic-heavy streets, or exploring a hiking trail, knowing that your dog is securely fastened can give you peace of mind. Many harnesses even come with additional clips or adjustable straps for a snug, customized fit.

4. Easier on You

It’s not just your dog who benefits from using a harness—your arms, shoulders, and back will thank you too! If your dog pulls on the leash, a harness helps distribute their weight more evenly, reducing the strain on your body.

For pet parents with large or strong dogs, this can make a huge difference. Instead of struggling to keep up with your pup, you’ll feel more in control and less like you’re in a tug-of-war match.

5. Perfect for Training

If your dog is still learning leash manners, a harness can be a fantastic training tool. Many harnesses, like front-clip designs, are specifically made to discourage pulling.

When your dog pulls forward, the harness redirects their movement to face you, teaching them that pulling doesn’t get them where they want to go. This makes training sessions more effective and less frustrating—for both you and your pup. Plus, the added control allows you to guide your dog gently without resorting to harsh corrections.

Final Thoughts

Whether you have a feisty puppy or a seasoned senior dog, switching to a harness can offer incredible benefits for both you and your furry friend. From better control and safety to reducing the risk of injuries, it’s a worthwhile investment that ensures enjoyable, worry-free walks every time.

Ready to make the switch? Be sure to choose a harness that suits your dog’s size, breed, and activity level. Trust us—once you see the difference, you’ll never go back to just a collar again!

Samsung S24 FE 5G Skin Template vs. Traditional Cases: Which Is Better?

When it comes to protecting and personalizing your Samsung S24 FE 5G, the two most popular options are skin templates and traditional cases. Each has its advantages, but which one is right for you? Let’s break down the differences to help you make an informed choice.

1. Protection

Skin Templates: While skin templates provide a layer of protection against scratches, scuffs, and minor dings, they don’t offer as much impact protection as traditional cases. If you’re looking for full protection from drops or accidents, skins might not be your best bet.

Traditional Cases: Cases, especially rugged ones, offer superior protection against drops, bumps, and impacts. If you’re prone to dropping your phone or want extra peace of mind, a case is the better option.

Winner: Traditional Cases (for superior drop protection)

2. Design and Aesthetics

Skin Templates: Skins are all about customization and style. They come in a variety of designs, textures, and colors, allowing you to make your phone look unique. Whether you prefer a minimalist look or something bold, there’s a skin template that suits your style.

Traditional Cases: While cases can also offer customization options, they are bulkier and can limit the phone's overall design. They usually focus more on function than appearance, with fewer options for sleek, minimalist designs.

Winner: Skin Templates (for design versatility)

3. Bulk and Weight

Skin Templates: One of the key benefits of skins is that they add minimal bulk. Your phone will remain slim and lightweight, which makes it easier to carry around. Skins don’t change the feel of your device and maintain its sleek design.

Traditional Cases: Cases, especially protective or wallet-style ones, tend to add more bulk and weight. While they provide more protection, they can make your phone feel heavier and bulkier in your pocket or bag.

Winner: Skin Templates (for a slim and lightweight feel)

4. Grip and Comfort

Skin Templates: Many skin templates offer added texture, like a carbon fiber or leather finish, that can enhance the grip of your phone. While it’s not as significant as a case, the added texture can make your phone feel more secure in your hand.

Traditional Cases: Cases typically offer better grip than skins. Rubberized or textured cases give a more substantial, secure feel, reducing the chance of accidental drops.

Winner: Traditional Cases (for a firmer grip)

5. Ease of Application

Skin Templates: Applying a skin template is relatively easy, even for beginners. They come with repositionable adhesive, which means you can adjust the placement before committing. Plus, skins are lightweight and thin, making them quick to install.

Traditional Cases: Putting on a case is simple—just snap it onto your phone. However, cases might not provide as snug a fit as skin templates, especially if they’re bulkier.

Winner: Skin Templates (for ease of application and adjustment)

6. Price

Skin Templates: Skins are generally more affordable than traditional cases. For a low-cost solution, you can get a variety of skins and switch them out regularly without breaking the bank.

Traditional Cases: While cases can be more expensive, especially for high-end, heavy-duty options, they offer more protection. Some cases can be quite pricey depending on the brand and material.

Winner: Skin Templates (for affordability)

7. Customization and Personalization

Skin Templates: Skin templates offer a wide variety of customization options. From unique designs to textured finishes, you can really make your phone stand out. Many brands also allow for custom uploads, giving you the chance to create a skin that’s completely one-of-a-kind.

Traditional Cases: Cases can be customized with colors and patterns, but they usually don’t offer as much freedom as skins when it comes to personalization.

Winner: Skin Templates (for more design freedom)

Conclusion: Which Is Better for You?

The decision between a Samsung S24 FE 5G skin template and a traditional case depends on your priorities:

Choose a skin template if you want minimal bulk, stylish design, and affordability. Skins are perfect for those who prioritize aesthetics and want to protect their phone from minor scratches without changing its feel.

Choose a traditional case if you need maximum protection, a better grip, and don’t mind the extra bulk. Cases are ideal for those who are accident-prone or want extra peace of mind in protecting their phone from drops.

Ultimately, both options serve their purpose, but the best choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and how much protection you need for your Samsung S24 FE 5G.

L-Carnitine: Helps transport fatty acids into cells for energy.

Caffeine: Gives you that energy kick while promoting fat oxidation.

Each ingredient has a purpose, working together to create something effective.

This isn’t just random stuff thrown into a packet.

Is Java Burn Safe For Diabetics?

If you’re diabetic, safety is your top concern.

Good news—most of the ingredients in Java Burn are generally considered safe for diabetics.

The chromium helps manage blood sugar levels, which is crucial.

But here’s the catch:

Always consult your doctor before adding anything new to your routine.

It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Is Java Burn Safe For Heart Patients?

Heart health is no joke either.

The caffeine content might raise some eyebrows, especially if you're sensitive to stimulants.

This means stockpiling could save you some serious cash over time!

Understanding The Java Burn Coffee Price

Coffee Ignite Vs Java Burn

When it comes to weight loss and boosting metabolism, I've seen a lot of options out there.

Two products that often come up are Java Burn and Coffee Ignite.

But how do they stack up against each other?

Let’s break it down.

Java Burn Capsules Vs Powder

First off, let's talk about the format.

Java Burn is primarily known as a powder that you mix into your coffee.

It's designed to enhance your morning brew without altering its taste.

On the flip side, there's also a capsule version available for those who prefer convenience.

So, what’s better?

Powder:

Mixes easily with any coffee.

Claims to work faster because of direct absorption.

Capsules:

Super convenient if you're on the go.

No mixing required; just pop one in.

I’ve tried both.

For me, the powder felt like an easy addition to my routine.

The capsules? They’re great when I’m rushing out the door but sometimes feel less effective since they have to break down before working their magic.

Java Burn Pills Reviews

Now let’s dive into some real experiences with these pills.

People love them for their simplicity and effectiveness.

Take Sarah, 34:

“I started taking the Java Burn pills two weeks ago, and I can already see changes! My energy levels are through the roof, and I’m shedding pounds effortlessly.”

That kind of feedback is common among users who appreciate not having to change their daily habits too much while still seeing results.

It’s all about finding what fits your lifestyle best.

Java Burn Powder Reviews

Switching gears to the powder form—this one gets rave reviews too.

Many folks enjoy how easily it blends with coffee without altering its flavor profile.

Tom, 29, shared his experience:

“I was skeptical at first but mixing Java Burn into my morning coffee has been a game-changer! Not only do I feel more energetic throughout the day, but I’ve also noticed my cravings have reduced significantly.”

That's powerful stuff!

The beauty of this powder is that it doesn’t require major lifestyle changes or sacrifices—just pour it in and sip away!

The Final Verdict

So where does that leave us with coffee ignite vs java burn?

Both have their merits depending on what you’re looking for:

If you want something quick and easy while you're on-the-go, then Java Burn capsules might be your best bet.

If you enjoy your morning ritual of brewing coffee and want something that'll blend seamlessly into it, then stick with the Java Burn powder.

In either case, you'll likely find yourself feeling more energized and ready to tackle whatever life throws at you.

If you're serious about enhancing your weight loss journey or simply want an extra boost in your daily routine, give either option a shot. You might just find it's exactly what you've been looking for!

5 Competition-Worthy Upgrades for Your Glock

A stock Glock is great for general plinking, but if you have your sights set on competition gold, it’s worth it to upgrade certain parts. Your competition will have upgrades that make their reloads faster, their triggers lighter, and their slides cycle faster. The right Glock accessories can give you a competitive advantage or keep up with other competitors. Here are a few upgrades that can boost the performance and reliability of your Glock while giving it a unique, custom look.

Extended Mag Release Button One of the most common accessories is the extended mag release button. As the name implies, it extends the mag release outward, making it easier to hit in the heat of competition. This allows you to shave time off of your reload, which could be the difference between taking home a prize or leaving empty-handed. You can get one that looks stock and fits the original aesthetics of the Glock, or you can choose something flashy to give your Glock some personality. Bigger Slide Lock From a Glock 19 to a G45, a bigger slide lock makes it easier to hit with your thumb when the slide is locked back. While the stock slide lock isn’t hard to hit at the range, it can be trickier when running and gunning in a competition. You might also have gloves on, making it even more difficult to hit. Like the mag release button, you can pick up an upgraded slide lock in various colors and finishes.

Extended Mags Extended mags can help you get a better grip on smaller Glocks. The Glock 43X, for example, is meant as a subcompact with a 10-round magazine. You can either get larger mags that hold more rounds or get a Glock 43X extended mag floor plate. This replaces the stock floor plate and often serves a dual purpose. First, it physically extends the mag, giving your fingers extra room to hold the grip. Second, it generally allows for two more rounds in the mag. An Enhanced Slide Adding an aftermarket Glock 43X slide is a game-changer. Porting and custom side milling will reduce the slide’s weight in the right areas, making it cycle faster while reducing fatigue. It also helps you reacquire your target faster. They also offer tactically enhanced ergonomics, and serrations designed to make it easier to rack the slide under the intense pressure of competition. Every second counts, and if your hands slip, it could cost you a win. Plus, it gives your Glock a custom look, adding a cool factor to it, while checking the box for form and function.

A Lighter Trigger Connector Trigger connectors are an easy, reliable way to lower the trigger pull weight of your Glock. This makes it easier to pull the trigger, which, like the other accessories, saves you time during a competition. It also offers a shorter, crisper trigger break with a positive reset, making it easier to feel when you can pull the trigger again. It only takes a few minutes to install a drop-in connector so this upgrade is almost mandatory for competitive shooters. It can help eliminate the mushy feeling some Glocks have.

The Power of Cardio and Weight Training for a Healthy Lifestyle

Here at LiveForeverFitness, we're all about helping you live your best life, and that means making sure you're taking care of your body in the right way. When it comes to fitness, there's always that debate: cardio vs. weight training. Which one’s better? Truth is, you need both to truly level up your health game. Let’s break it down.

Why Cardio Is a Must

Cardio is like the heartbeat of your workout routine—literally. It's all about getting your blood pumping and keeping your heart healthy. Whether you're hitting up a morning jog, crushing it on the treadmill, or vibing to your favorite playlist during a HIIT session, cardio keeps your heart strong, boosts your endurance, and burns off those extra calories.

But it’s not just about shedding fat or losing weight. Regular cardio also improves your mood, fights off stress, and helps you sleep better. Ever hear of that runner’s high? It’s real—endorphins are no joke! So next time you’re feeling stressed or low, a quick cardio sesh might be exactly what you need.

Why Weight Training Is the Secret Sauce

Now, don’t sleep on weight training. Lifting isn’t just for bodybuilders or gym rats. Whether you’re into dumbbells, kettlebells, or bodyweight exercises, adding resistance training to your routine is key for building muscle, increasing strength, and keeping those bones strong.

But here’s the kicker: weight training helps you burn fat even after you’ve left the gym. Yep, that post-workout burn is real. When you build muscle, your body works harder to maintain it, which means you’re torching calories long after your last set. Plus, weight training boosts your metabolism, shapes your body, and gives you that toned, defined look everyone’s after.

The Magic Happens When You Combine Both

So, what’s the real cheat code? Combining cardio and weight training. Doing both gives you the best of both worlds. Cardio gets your heart and lungs in check, while weight training sculpts your body and builds strength. Together, they help you achieve a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

Think about it like this: cardio is your foundation, your endurance builder, and weight training is the architecture, shaping and defining your body. Mix them up, and you're not just looking good—you’re feeling good from the inside out.

How to Balance Both in Your Routine

You don’t have to go all-in on both every day. It’s all about balance. Try this:

3-4 days of cardio: Mix up steady-state (like jogging or biking) with some HIIT sessions to keep it fresh.

2-3 days of weight training: Focus on different muscle groups each day, giving your body time to recover and grow.

And remember, it’s not about going hard every single day. Listen to your body, rest when you need it, and keep it consistent.

Keep grinding, and remember: It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Stay consistent, stay focused, and Live Forever!

Peace, Twon

I don't want to disturb anyone just because I'm anxious and lonely.

I don't want to disturb my aunties just because I'm anxious and lonely. Though they are caring, compassionate, generous, and kind people, I don’t want to become dependent on them and infect them with my struggles.

I am not their obligation. They have their own families to take care of. Though they say first and foremost that they love me and that I can call them anytime outside of work, I need to give them a break from me.

I also don't want to constantly bother them after all they've done for me. I think specifically of the consultations, the expensive medical expenses, and the treatments they paid for. If it wasn't for them, I'd still be gasping for each breath.

Whenever I do call them, crying, sobbing, or anxious, my eyes take in their faces the familiar expression of humanity and love. But my insecurity and shame tell me that maybe they're good at hiding their true feelings, which is irritation. "He's calling us again, it's your turn to comfort him."

But, no. My heart feels their genuine generosity.

I also don't want to call them daily because it feels like I am disappointing them; that I am still struggling with my breathing and my anxiety and panic even after all those treatments. Stuck in a loop. And they would reply with affirmations and validations. But it must be tiresome for them to always repeat the same comforting, soothing messages over and over again.

Who would not be sick and tired of that? I feel like whenever they see my face and name pop up on their screens, they roll their eyes, take a deep breath, and summon their most empathetic self to bear with me.

I'm scared that they would grow weary of me and abandon me. I'm terrified that they would run out of love for me.

I want to help myself and help others to please them! To assure them that I'm fine and capable again and all their efforts paid off. To not disturb them with video calls. I have to stop calling them and force myself to tackle this now that I am alone, or else, this will be a loop that has ensnared other people into my dour existence.

I have to take proactive steps to heal and improve myself.

I don’t want to disturb them especially when they’re at work. They have their own lives to live, their own spouses and children, and pets to take care of. They have their own problems to deal with, never mind my own. And though they always say (out of politeness or out of love) that they will always be one call away, I could not bear adding my weight to theirs. They may look like they have an endless supply of support, but every person has their limits.

Also, I sometimes think that they did not know fully what they signed up for. I may be too much for them to handle. What they thought of as simple remedies and solutions turned out to be more problematic and complex. I feel guilty because I keep calling them and my cousins and friends to apologize for my rude behavior during my first visit to Australia, but here I am, still being toxic but in another way.

I don’t want them to feel stressed and anxiously waiting if I will call them just because I FEEL panicky. I am like a baby, a duckling that is willingly not breaking away from his shell.

This feels like my decision ko to limit my interactions with an old friend. I'll call him "Ace". Ace and I might be dragging each other down mentally, instead of hyping each other up to become the best versions of ourselves. It got to the point where I felt physically and emotionally drained after hanging out with him. Plus, I couldn't handle his toxicity. We have different demons in our heads, but he seems to resign himself to a life of inactivity and inaction. I don't want to be like him. I want to break free from that. And so I cut off contact with him for now. And I hope he heals soon.

I’m just afraid that my aunties will do the same thing to me. I'm worried that they will lose their patience with me and see me as a toxic presence that they need to wash their hands off.

They have a happy life there, and they have their own issues. They have their own medical conditions. While others would rather suffer in silence, nobly, there’s me, polluting their clean pool. They have a good life there. I don’t want to cause them unneeded stress and anxiety anymore.

If ever I do call, maybe one to three times a week, I want to consciously twist every negative news I have with myself into something positive.
