Tumblr media
ms paint. you know her. u used her age 8 to make loads of rainbow ovals all over the canvas and then scramble it with selection tool. now u will know her true powers with my handyrandy tips under the readmore. some will be pretty basic and others are very special.
this post has 8 cool trix to learn for you. enjoy and i may do another in the future if i remember/learn more stuff
some of it might be common knowledge. but its got some deep cuts. all tips have gifs to show process easily.
🙂 enjoy and i hope this encourages you to fuck around in mspaint more
soundtrack for this post (loop it while you learn for advanced learning experience)
TIP 1) the right click trick
Tumblr media Tumblr media
left and right mouse click correspond to col1 and col2 respectively, which u can see in the top bar. this applies to all brushes and the fill tool like above. when using shapes col2 will be the fill colour (if you have solid fill selected). right clicking with shape maker will reverse the colours use on the shape.
TIP 2) right click eraser
Tumblr media
this one is extremely helpful for lineart or add shading. the eraser always uses col2. so your eraser can technically be any colour. but here's where you get powers: right clicking with eraser will only erase onto col1, with col2.
TIP 3) transparent selection change a guy destination
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the beloved transparent selection tool works based on what is selected as col2. so long as you have the correct colour as col2 you can make any image transparent and put it on top of anything else. and yes this works with photo bg as you can see.
TIP 4) the gradience
Tumblr media
this one is a little more complex. you want to start off with any canvas size, and make as many diagonal coloured bands as you want. (protip: holding down shift makes a perfectly diagonal line with line tool)
then you need to resize the canvas to a width of 1px (make sure you resize by pixels, and do not maintain aspect ratio). then resize again back to its original width (or a different width i cant stop you). you will have your lovely gradience.
TIP 5) superimposter
Tumblr media
so. you got a cool gradient and wanna put a guy on it. heres what i do:
i open a 2nd mspaint with same canvas size and draw whatever i want on there. i then pick a completely unrelated colour to my entire piece, and set that as the bg. you could use white, pink, geen, whatever you want as long as it doesnt appear somewhere else in ur drawing. copy the guy.
go back to your gradient tab. ensure that col2 is set as that bg colour you picked (lilac for me). have "transparent selection" enabled. paste your guy in. cue fanfare
TIP 6) advanced superimposter
Tumblr media
the great thing about this method is u can put multiple gradients in multiple areas of the image. this is where it gets all japanese printmaking type of shit. ukiyo-esque
all you need to do is make another canvas with a new gradient, ensure col2 is set as the colour you want to replace, then paste your original piece onto the new gradient. now my guy has a soft fade. you can do this as much as you want. (you could even make a canvas with a texture or photo and paste your drawing onto there)
TIP 7) "sketch layer"
Tumblr media
so as you now know, col2 is what is removed when you click "transparent selection". which means you can also remove any instance of a colour from ur drawing. which means you can have a unique colour for sketch layer and remove it from the drawing later. i admittedly dont do this but it is a great trick to have.
now combine this with lowering your dpi for smoother lines. may seem obvious but it helps. its like a free stabiliser whenever u want.
TIP 8) rainbow art
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now this is where you can get dizzee rascal "bonkers". check out my small and shitty rainbow trick. you can select anything and hold down shift, then drag with left mouse, to turn that selection into its own brush. i even did it with a guy. and you can of course do this with a photo as well.
🙂well that it for now. hope you liked it thanks for reading now back to your regularly scheduled tgcg programming

If you find a style of pants/shoes/bra/whatever clothing item that you really, really like, that's your absolute favourite, that you could happily wear every day, and your finances and storage capacity in your living space do allow for it, go immediately (do not delay!) and buy anywhere from 2-5 more of them - maybe in different colours, but just get several of the exact same thing, and either stash away the extras for when the first one wears out, or wear them in rotation so that each one lasts longer than if you were wearing it every day.
(If you do not have the financial ability to buy multiples of a clothing item at a time, at the very least write down the brand, size, store you got it at, and any other relevant info as soon as you determine that it's your favourite/best you've ever had of whatever item. When you need to replace a favourite bra after 3-4 years and are trying to read the completely faded/worn away label to discern what size and type it was, or when you want to figure out what brand those super-awesome shoes were and where you got them but there's no label to tell you, you'll have some hope of finding them again.)
Even if you think 'this is a basic item of clothing, they'll always have it in stock!', I'm here to tell you you're wrong. At 43, I have lived through multiple instances of a type/brand of clothing I like going out of style and becoming much harder to find, stopping being made entirely (store going out of business, or clothing line changing completely, such as 'we don't make dress pants anymore'), or the quality declining drastically so that it's no longer any good. Take this lesson to heart and stock up on something good while you can!

Progress Pride Flag Quilt Block Pattern & Tutorial
Tumblr media
Don't you just love the flag of our people? Do you have an inner grandma that years to make stuff? Do you want to combine these two things and make a queer quilt?
Well, I've got you.
Tumblr media
Behold the pattern! And my lack of graphic skills, so I drew it on paper!
Basically it's a bunch of rectangles, one half square triangle and a fuzzy cut circle. I don't know shit about quilting and I was able to come up with it. Why Centimeter, you ask? Because I'm German and that's what I'm familiar with. Why weird measurements and not jelly rolls and layer cakes and stuff? Because I'm German and quilting is not really a thing here.
Onto the tutorial!
You'll need:
A scrap of fabric of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, light blue, pink, white each
additional fabric for the border
Cutting mat, quilting ruler, roll cutter
sewing machine
thread
pins
double sided interfacing
iron and ironing board
fabric sheers
compasses
Tumblr media
Step 1: Cut everything. Duh. We'll take care of the circle later, don't worry about that now. The half square triangle is exactly what it sounds like. A square and then you cut it diagonally. That's why I didn't give the length of the hypotenuse.
(Note: I'm making two blocks at the same time, that's why there's so much fabric. Also this is a middle of the night project, hence the lighting.)
I'm using all kinds of different fabrics, different weights and drapes, some stretchy, some transparent, so I needed to interface some of them.
Tumblr media
Step 2: Sew the rainbow together. 0,5cm seam allowance on everything, that's exactly the edge of the foot on your machine. Double and triple check that everything is facing the right direction before sewing. The seam of yellow and green does not get sewn fully, only 21,5 cm! That's important later! Also backtack there. Don't forget to iron.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Step 3: Sew the strips to the half square triangle. For this you have to switch between the sewing machine and the ironing board constantly. Attach the shorter strip diretly to one side of the HST, iron it open. The second strip of the same colour gets attatched to the other side of the HST and the first strip. Look at the pictures closely if you're unsure how that works. Also the strips are longer than the triangle. We'll square that up later.
Tumblr media
All strips attatched will look like this. See how the two strips meet at the tip!
Tumblr media
Step 4: Cut the rainbow part to size. The seam between yellow and green is 22cm long. The shorter seam from before and some seam allowance. The outsides of red and purple are 44,5cm long. You will cut a little triangle from every single colour. Do this slowly and carefully. Maybe your fabrics have stretched a bit (mine did). Don't worry, it will be ok.
Tumblr media
Step 5: The Y seam, part one. Y seams are tricky, but there's only one for this block. So put your straps part on your rainbow part and line them up so that the tip of the strip part overhangs the seam between yellow and green. Remember that it's not about the edges of the fabric, but where the seam will be. So position the strap part so that the 0,5cm seam will meet the yellow-green seam.
But don't sew all the way! Leave 0,5cm at the tip!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Step 6: The Y seam, part two. Now, fold both the rainbow part and the strips part in half and if you've done the last step correctly, the remaining two edges will allign. Pin and sew.
I can't explain it better than I've done here, I'm sure there are tutorias out there. Good luck!
Tumblr media
Step 7: Square up. Iron your block to that everything is nice and straight and flat. Then use the fabric edges of the red and purple to cut the remaining ends of the strips. Use the HST to cut the white. Be careful, the long side of the triangle is on the bias and likely stretched a bit.
I already added borders here. I'm making a pillow case.
Tumblr media
Step 8: Fuzzy cut and raw edge applique. Double sided iron on interfacing is essentially double sided tape. It has two types of glue, one gets activated by 2 seconds of heat, the other by 5 or so (depends on the product). The second side is also covered with a paper that needs to be removed before the second glueing. Read the instructions of the product you are using!
Use your compasses to draw a circle on the protective paper side of the interfacing. Cut it out roughly. Then place it with the rougher side on the backside of your purple fabric and iron for 2 seconds on middle heat. If you've just ironed your fabric before and the ironing board is still hot, wait for it to cool down. Also let the fabric cool down after applying. Then cut out your circle. The interfacing will have stiffened the fabric, so that shouldn't be a problem. Then remove the protective paper, place the circle on the yellow triangle where you want it and iron for 5 seconds. Let cool.
And you're done! The applique at this point is only secured with the interfacing, but it should hold fairly well. The quilting will secure it further.
And that's it. BTW, did you know that this design was made by Valentino Vecchietti for Intersex Equality Rights UK in 2021? Now you do. Happy quilting!

Winner winner, Chicken Dinner
Tumblr media
pairing: Soccer!College!Tom Holland x Quiet!Reader
summary: Tom teases and gushes over his shy bookworm of a girlfriend, which includes bringing her everywhere with him and making sure she’s well fed (requested by anon)
requests are open/likes, comments and re-blogs are appreciated♥️
Tom Masterlist, Full Masterlist, Taglist Form
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
“Come on baby, you aren’t coming to my game?” Tom whined into Y/n’s neck, his lips kissing her neck softly, his hands groping her chest affectionately before moving down to her waist. “I-I don’t know Tommy, we haven’t actually made ourselves official in the school” Y/n gasped looking around the library, thank God she usually chose the secluded tables at the back.
“I don’t care love, we can make it official today or something, come on I brought you my soccer shirt to wear. All the other guys are bringin their girls” Tom pouted pulling back to pull the shirt showing “Holland” and the number 7 on the back, before putting the shirt into his girlfriend’s bag on the table filled with books.
“I’ll see okay? I found this new book series and I have that solo project due on Tuesday-“ Y/n rambled fixing her t-shirt, Tom’s brown eyes seeing her start to panic at the thought at being in such a crowded place, knowing how much she valued her own private space; which is what made it so funny as to how she started dating Tom.
The poor boy doesn’t leave her alone at all, whether it’s lowkey checking her out in the hallways, giving her secret rides home and the amount of nights he comes over to Y/n’s house just to see her. Hell Y/n’s parents at this point were prepared to give Tom his own set of keys to their house, this man didn’t know what space was when it came to Y/n.
“You know what? It’s okay you don’t gotta come love, I know how crowded places get you. But you have to promise that we go out to eat after we win” Tom smirked wiggling his eyebrows at his girl, watching her start to grow flustered before kissing his cheek and nod excitedly.
“Okok I promise Tommy, I l-love you” She said looking at the ground, then the ceiling, basically anywhere but Tom’s eyes, feeling his fingers hold onto her jaw,
“Say it louder, didn’t quite hear you” He teased placing a kiss onto the corner of her mouth, “I love you, n’ I promise to go out with you tonight” Y/n said more confidently this time, her hands twiddling with each other under the comfort of her hoodie (which was actually his, but he lets her off with it) “I love you too baby” Tom replied happily, kissing her lips one more time before setting off for some last minute soccer practice until his big match later on today.
Y/n looked at the black and white shirt sitting on top of her backpack, a fog of doubt clouding her head as she closed over her new book and textbooks. Instead choosing to take off Tom’s hoodie she was wearing, putting on his soccer shirt, the smell of his cologne still fresh on it. Packing up her book bag she headed into the corridor, watching the rest of the student body dressed in the school colours start to head to the football pitch.
Once she was out to the pitch she saw the other players’ girlfriends sitting on the front row, the typical but nice well known girls, but not really Y/n’s type of crowd. Y/n instead climbed to the highest row of seats, deciding on wanting to have a full view of the match. Within minutes the referee’s whistle blew and on came Tom, his usual gear on, but something was different this time.
Why was there a heart stitched onto the left side of his chest?
This wasn’t Y/n’s first time at one of his games, but it was her first time since they started dating 5 months ago. Time was slowly picking up in the match, with the scores being tied 1-1 with the opposing team, Tom was very visibly stressed out. His rands roughly combing through his hair every few seconds, there were a few run ins and shoves with the opposite team, lots of swearing and arguing with the referee. But that was just the game.
With only a few minutes left, Tom’s team was awarded a penalty with him being asked to take it. The crowd went silent watching Tom run up to take the goal, and Y/n swore this was more suspenseful that any book she had ever read.
AND IT’S IN
The whole section of them jumped up screaming, next thing you know Tom had kissed his palm before placing it onto the heart stitched onto his shirt, something that made Y/n’s heart beat a million times a minute. Realising she was the only one left standing from the crowd she felt embarrassed, only for her eyes to meet Tom’s which were now as wide as saucers.
“BAAAABYYYY” Tom Shouted cupping his mouth with his hands, his chest heaving once he stopped, thanks for that Tom
Y/n thought watching everyone’s head turn towards her, as Tom jumped the fence and began running up the steps to her seat.
“Y-you came, you actually came, A-AND YOURE WEARING MY SHIRT!” Tom gushed hugging her tightly to him, jumping up and down like a kid at Christmas. “W-well yeah I wanted to come support my boyfriend” Y/n said pulling down his shirt to look at it clearly, it was a heart stitched with her initials on it
“Oh! Baby that’s for you, just so you’re with me even if you don’t come to my games. Every goal is for you love” Tom said giggly, his cheeks starting to go a bit red, “I love it Tommy, and I love you even more”
Y/n said quietly just enough for them two to hear, the rest of the students had now basically left with the match being over. “Really?! I mean, of course, I love you too Y/n/n” Tom said clearing his throat, watching his teammate hand him up his duffel bag, before saying their goodbyes.
“Don’t you wanna go celebrate with the boys first?” Y/n asked confused watching the rest of the team walk out with their coach, trophy in hand. “Nah i’d rather celebrate it with my girl, just you and me and some good food” Tom said wrapping his arm around her shoulder, taking her book bag off her shoulder and carrying it himself. “That sounds good to me Tommy” Y/n said looking up at him, her hand holding onto the one wrapped around her as they headed to his car

fame - jjk (prologue)
Tumblr media
pairing ; idol!jk x idol!oc.
synopsis ; aera; the main dancer in one of the biggest k-pop groups in the world, Siren. debuting in 2014, it was nothing but immense hard work and perseverance (and being on the absolute verge of disbandment), but she and the four girls that grew to become her sisters pulled through. they did it. now they're performing at some of the most significant arenas and stadiums worldwide. meeting a cheeky, flirtatious and annoyingly gorgeous fellow idol that threatens to break down every wall of protection she's built around herself was not part of the plan. her career has always come first, having sacrificed and jeopardised many relationships and friendships in her journey to debut. so why does this time feel different?
Tumblr media
story warnings ; smut, explicit language, violent & possibly triggering scenes.
chapter warnings ; none, just an overview of the girlies
a/n: i do not know how to use tumblr i'm a wattp girly born & raised.. pls bear with me. also oc is korean to help with a more realistic (in the most unrealistic fic ever) storyline, excuse the horrible google translated korean words.
another annoying a/n: siren have idol faceclaims (besides Aera) to help bring more visuality & description to their characters. love every single girly in this story & this is not a depiction of their real life personas whatsoever
part ; prologue | one | two | drabble1 | three | four | five | ...

hii sorry if you’ve already answered something like this in the past but how do you shade? ur art is always rendered so nicely and the colors are chosen so well!!
HELLOO THANK YOU! SO let’s start from the basics
when something is white or black you can change that to something else, here’s an example (for black you can just pick any colour and make it darker)
Tumblr media
2. if you have space (in the background? idk how you call it) you can put a showy colour
Tumblr media
3. colour picking - i tone it down / take the saturation
Tumblr media
i dont add lighting unless there's something like glass
separation line cuz its gonna get a bit long
1.
Tumblr media
you get your base colours ( i revived my oc for this ) (now after the basics u know where the white, black and [in this case] yellow came from)
2. i hope you know how to use layers
Tumblr media
specific art style thing, i dont know what that is
3. if you arent the type of person to stick all the layers of your base colours then CHANGE IT!! for this tutorial
so what you are going to do is create a gray layer, all gray, fill it, the layer has to be on top of the base colour layer
Tumblr media
u click that button, it has to look like this
Tumblr media
4. you create another layer (above the gray one) (it has to be on the same layer mode with the second button so what you do doesnt go out from the base colors)
Tumblr media
then you put your shading, I use red
+ i like to remark around the lineart bc yes
5.
Tumblr media
trust me
[extra unnecessary info = a good mix is red + blue, and purple or brown are good on their own (in multiply)]
6.
Tumblr media
you experiment with the layers, adding or deleting until you like it (i usually dont like if the shading ends up too not-colourful or too heavy) (the modes for these layers are multiply and SUBEXPONER) (I DONT KNOW THE TRANSLATION BUT ITS THIS ONE)
Tumblr media
7. once you get what you want you merge the shading layers one per one to the base colour layer, so its all gone, you have all in one layer
Tumblr media
8. BORDERS
Tumblr media
you make outlines around the shading, in a colour that is more ?saturated? / showy <- you can use these same lines you are doing to just remark what you want (like the speechbubble, bad example but u get it)
in the black color i used (here its darker blue) i didnt use a lighter saturated colour like everywhere else, i used a darker blue
9. SECOND ROUND OF BORDERS
Tumblr media
whats the difference between these and the ones from before? in this step your starter color is the base color (in the other you picked from the shading) , you dont go too far to make it outstanding
all of this it makes it more solid
10. AND LAST you colour the lineart (in the same layer mode you used before where what u do doesnt go out of the layer)
Tumblr media
very saturated here and i randomly added orange bc reusing colors is cool (since the filling behind the hair was yellow it ended up like this)
edit: i dont like to change much from the outlines, more the inside because i like it when it looks like a sticker
thank u for reading

Writing advice...
... About military things by a soldier :)
Disclaimer: My experiences and knowledge are mostly based on the German military, the Bundeswehr. They may differ from those of other countries.
Happy writing y'all :)
Pt. 6 / ?: Combat wounds (Pt.1)
Before we get into this, let me make one thing clear:
Most people imagine battle hardened soldiers to be terribly scarred, but that is most often not the case. If something gets close enough to scar you, it's close enough to kill you. In war it's either death or not; if it can kill you, it will. Having lots of scars could also just be an indicator that they're unskilled enough to let themself almost get killed one too many times, so think good and hard what scars your character has and how they came to be.
What are scars and how do they come to be?
Whenever your tissue gets damaged, your body tries to fix the loss by releasing this funky lil protein you may know from skin- or haircare: Collagen. It builds up where the tissue got damaged and helps heal and build up fresh new skin, hence why scars are lighter in colour. As collagen builds up for several months the blood supply to that new tissue increases, which is what causes scars to protrude.
But scars aren't just scars: They come in different types.
1. We have contracture scars for one, which are typically burn scars. They cause the skin to tighten and may possibly restrict movement, which can be quite frustrating if the scar is big in size. This comes from the underlying tissue healing by pulling together. Contracture scars can impact the muscles, joints and tendons.
2. Next up are atrophic scars. Fancy word that you may not know, but I bet you've heard of acne scars before. When the skin is unable to form new tissue, a little dent will appear, and that's an atrophic scar.
3. Flat scars are pretty boring. They're called flaz scars cause they flatten down over time, and go from a pinkish red colour to one that somewhat resembles your skin tone.
4. The nastiest ones in my opinion are keloid scars. These lil shits are basically clumps of tissue that grow near the wound, but can also expand past it. They're thick and look somewhat misshapen. Keloids are the result of excessive healing, which means they can pop up anywhere. Perhaps you've seen a friend w an infected piercing that didn't heal well, and they have these dark bumps around it. Yep, those are keloids.
5. Conversely to the atrophic scars we have hyperthropic scars. Sounds fancy, but when medicine names one thing with a- in the beggining, hyper- is usually the exact opposite. Whereas a- indicates too little, hyper- indicates too much of smth. In this case, hypertrophic scars are raised scars. They come to be when too much collagen builds up around a wound, which makes them similar to keloids, which but one decisive difference: Hypertrophic scars don't grow past the wound. Thank god.
6. My favourite scar of all are definitely stretch marks. I have 'em, you have 'em, they're absolutely normal. Stretch marks occur when the skin shrinks or grows too quickly for your body to catch up, thus causing tissues underneath the skin to become damaged.
Anything can happen in war - what are the most common combat injuries?
If I tried listing every possible injury I'd never finish this post, so I'm starting with the most common ones: Second and third degree burns, broken bones, shrapnel wounds, nerve damage, paralysis, loss of sight and / or hearing, PTSD and limb loss.
Sounds scary? Well, it is. But the best weapon against fear is information, which is why I'll break down the first four of those injuries in this post, and the rest in a second part.
Burns
What is a burn? A burn is an injury to the skin (or other organic tissue) caused by heat, radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction or chemicals.
Burns are classified in four degrees, whereas one is the lightest and six the most serious type of burn.
First degree: Superficial burns, like a sunburn. Red, dry, and ouch but without blisters. Temporary change in skin colour but heals well.
Second degree: Red, swollen and blistered skin. May cause an increase in skin thickness but heals well.
Third degree: White and charred skin. Extensive skin damage. Will heal in (possibly) thick scars.
Fourth degree: Charred skin. Possibly exposing bone or organs. Probably causes permanent damage; may require an amputation.
Fifth degree: Charred skin. Will definitely expose bones etc. Definite permanent damage; amputation required.
Sixth degree: Loss of skin. Damage extends to the bones. Definite permanent damage that requires an amputation, but can lead to fatalities.
Broken bones
A broken bone, or fracture, happens when pressure is exerted unto a bone that it cannot withstand, because of which the bone can break partially or completely. A fracture has to be immobilised with a cast or surgically inserted metal rods / plates. The exact treatment method depends on what bone is fractured and how severe the fracture is.
Are broken bones fatal? Well, they certainly can have severe impacts on your health if not properly treated. Infections, permanent deformities or long-term joint problems are all feasible consequences to a botched treatment.
Luckily for us tho, bones are really good at healing. Doesn't mean a fracture ain't painful tho - the most painful bones to break are the femur, tailbone and the ribs.
If you wanna be mean but not fatally mean, I'd recommend giving your character a cracked rib or two. It's a serious injury that'll put 'em out of commission for a good two months, but they will most certainly recover; be careful of breaking them tho, as the jagged edges can puncture major blood vessels or internal organs, such as the lung. The two lower ribs rarely fracture as they are more flexible than the upper and middle ribs, which are anchored to the breastbone. If you break them however, they can cause serious damage to the spleen, liver or kidney.
Symptoms of a cracked / broken rib include strong pain in your chest area that worsens when breathing or bending the body, swelling and / or tenderness surrounding the ribs, eventual bruising on the skin, and quite literally hearing your ribs crack as they break.
Cracked / broken ribs cannot be as easily supported as other bones, so they're left to heal by themselves.
Shrapnel wounds
When the metal of an explosive pierces the skin, that's when it's called a shrapnel wound. The type of wound depends on whatever caused the injury; most often though they stem from so called IED's - Improvised Explosive Devices. In other words: Bombs, mines, bullets, or even shrapnel bombs and ammo, which are specifically made to cause as much damage to the human body as possible.
Some of these can contain uranium, which makes them poisonous to life forms.
Shrapnel is a nightmare to deal with. The pieces can travel within the body, making them harder to find and remove. You definitely wanna remove them cause they can be hot zones for infections; contrary to what you may have heard though, shrapnel is a relatively rare cause for lead poisoning. I'm gonna focus on gunshot wounds, but if you have any questions concerning other types of shrapnel wounds feel free to shoot me an ask!
Gunshot wounds
Gunshot wounds are caused when a bullet is shot into, or through, the body. They can cause serious injuries such as: Severe bleeding, damage to tissues and organs, broken bones, wound infections, and paralysis.
The exact damage depends on the location of the injury as well as speed and type of the bullet, though wounds to the head or torso are likey to cause more damage. Someone who's been shot has probably had surgery to do either of these:
Stop the bleeding
Clean the wound
Find and remove bullet pieces
Place drains / tubes for bodily fluids
Remove portions of organs (or even whole organs)
There may however be bullet pieces that remain in the body. Often these cannot be removed without causing more damage. Scar tissue will form around these remaining pieces, which may cause ongoing pain or other discomfort. In case of worsening pain, bleeding that won't stop even after applying pressure, increased drainage from the wound, rising body temperature (fever), or red streaks leading away from the wound, paying the doc a visit is a must. This means the wound isn't healing well and needs medical attention.
It will take months, perhaps even years, for a gunshot wound to heal properly - and that's if the victim is lucky enough that the bullet didn't shatter bone, or pass through arteries and nerves. Loss of limbs is also a very possible outcome. Skin-deep cuts and abrasions don't pose much of a problem in terms of healing. Following that would be muscle groups, which may heal in weeks. Tendons and bone can take months. Organ damage will take just as long, or they may be permanently damaged and never heal.
Remember that people heal differently. Especially when it comes to wounds so dependant on the exact caliber and loading of the gun; The size of a bullet and the energy it carries affect the size of the wound channel and cavity. Low powered rounds would not do as much damage as higher powered rounds (e.g. .22 LR vs .223 Rem), and smaller calibers will do less than larger calibers (eg. 9mm vs .45 ACP).
Combat knives
They weren't mentioned above, but seeing as this is supposed to be helpful to writers, oc creators and rp players, I decided to include knife wounds as well.
What is a combat knife?
It's a military issued knife that every soldier is required to carry on them at all times. It is designed with hand to hand combat in mind, thus functioning in a way that the blade can be flipped open and wielded with one hand. The blade is made to 'stand' on its own, aka two hands are needed to fold the blade back into the knife. These two criteria may put the military combat knife under assault weapons law in some countries (e.g. Germany). They are also designed to for utility use, e.g. cutting through shrubbery, thick ropes or opening ammunition crates. Now, I don't know what combat knives look like around the world, but our German one is embossed with the Bundesadler, the eagle that's our national emblem, and it's also a Swiss army knife - meaning that it has additional gadgets like a screwdriver built in.
What are knive wounds and how do they work?
The overall shape of the wound mimics that of the blade being used. Generally speaking, combat knives are meant to stab and slash, although stabbing has a greater possibility of internal organ damage. A well placed slash may sever an artery tho, so your character would do best not to let a knife get close at all.
Most often, a person doesn't die from the wound itself but from shock - not the emotional kind of shock, but the kind that your body goes into when it loses 20% of its blood in volume. In other words, the victim is more likely to die due to bleeding out rather than the wound itself.
That being said however: A stab and some blood loss won't be stopping someone powered by adrenaline and the need for survival. It's quite possible the brain simply drowns the wound out until the body collapses from cumulative blood loss. Every second counts in a real self defense situation. The assailant may be mortally wounded, but as long as they're able to do the same to you, you'll still die.
A trained fighter won't go or the head or neck, but the attacker's weapon wielding arm. Think of it like pulling the fangs out of a snake: By severing the tendons or the muscles that power them, the hand can no longer close and grip anything. A well placed slash can and will have more stopping power than a stab.
How and if a knife wound heals depends on the type of knife used, wether it stabbed or slashed and how deep, as well as the location of the wound. Much like gunshot wounds it can take years to fully recover, if the victim even recovers at all.

How to reinvent your wardrobe : The basics 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before starting, remember the goal is to wear the clothes, don't let them wear you. Be confident, a good way to do that is by buying things you genuinely love and feel comfortable in. This post is only focused on basics, so nothing too exciting but it is needed.
✩ Learn about yourself and your body:
Before spending money on clothes and/or a new style. Find out what you like and don’t like when it comes to clothes. If you’re stuck and don’t know what you like or look good in. I recommend learning about your body archetype. There are plenty of quizzes and videos on this topic. I will list some of my favorites below. Learning about your body archetype is a good starting point to what suits you best but of course you don't have to follow everything these quizzes say, pick and choose what works for you. I also recommend looking at fashion eras and picking what you like and don’t like in each era.
♡ Invest in high quality basics:
Why? Because no matter what style or aesthetic you choose these basics always come in handy. Basics are timeless, you can never go wrong with jeans and a basic white tee. Lastly, basics are super easy to style, you can dress them up or down. If you don't want to style them you don't have to because they're outfits on their own. Some of the basics that I recommend buying are:
Black and white shirts: Long and short sleeves. Personally I love cropped tees since I love wearing high waisted pants but the style of shirt you choose depends on you, your body and what you feel comfortable in. Also have different variation of these shirts for different occasions.
Blue and black jeans: The fit really depends on your body type but these jeans are super easy to style.
A nice active wear set: It makes you feel hot and makes you want to leave your house so the world knows how hot you are. So yeah it’s needed. Also they’re super comfy, need I say more?
Trousers/dress pants: For some these are a hit or miss but I think they are a great way to look put together without doing the most. I won’t lie I used to hate them but finding the right fit for you is what matters most.
Long coat: A good quality long coat is a easy way to look put together during colder weather.
White button up: We can’t talk about basics without mentioning a white button up, they’re classic. I recommend getting one that fits perfectly and another that is oversized. Trust me.  
Black and white dress: You can never go wrong with a simple black dress. White dress give off a "I have my life together” vibe.
❁ Accessories:
I'll briefly go over this since this is getting long. Invest in certain things but not everything. Find out what Jewelry colour suits you. I found a really good webpage that speaks about that.
When it comes to bags, go to a thrift store. And I don’t mean thrift stores that everyone goes to, so don’t go to savers or value village. Go to thrift stores that older people frequent. Why? Because that’s where you find amazing vintage pieces but at a really cheap price. You will find perfect vintage bags with real leather, looks like it’s never been used for less than 10$. I know that because I have found bags valued at 900$+ for 5-7$, some with tags still on.

| Average Group |
Masterlist
A/N:This is for my smau I’m making it fem reader x Yu Jimin (Karina) so stay tuned if you want to see also I will most likely do updates asap so yeah byeee.
Also I was going to add Eunchae but there’s no more colours 😰 Ik it sounds stupid but I NEED THE COLOURS 😭😭.
Your friendgroup consisted of 7 people you, Kim Chaewon, Miyawaki Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Nakamura Kazuha, Jang Wonyoung and Shin Ryujin.
Each one of you had different qualities for your friend group for example you were the more introverted person and mainly focused on studies rather than popularity or gaining more friends over the two terms you’d already had at school however Ryujin was the complete opposite to you, she had lots of popularity and was friends or knew basically everyone in the school which was daunting to you at first but she had always been in your friend group so it’s not like she just left you all.
Well those were both of your opposing personalities but the rest of your group have their own personalities so we’ll get into that now:
Chaewon
Chaewon is more of a leader type in your friend group she isn’t controlling or believing that she owns the friend group or anything but she’s someone that your friends and you have all found comfort in relying on or always being there for you all to go to her for advice and also she was genuinely a caring person.
People know her because of her spot in student council and her fiery personality really points her out to people making her more noticeable but she’s never scared to talk about what she thinks is right and stick to it (P.S high key gets her friends out of trouble a lot)
She has her anger issues but she is a very caring person overall when she gets angry though it’s quite scary the only person to really calm her down was her closest friend that she had known since childhood, Sakura she had to admit she was attracted to her just a bit but we won’t get into that for now just give her some time and she’ll open up more to the thought of liking her best friend.
Sakura
Sakura was a Japanese girl who had moved to Korea at a very young age, she was about 5 when she had moved here and went into nursery being a bit wary but Chaewon had helped her through it and they became best friends after that never being separated from eachother, now Sakura tried to get thoughts of liking her best friend away from her head but she just couldn’t especially not after her hair cut to a Bob it really made her realise how inlove she was with her (ME TO ME TO GIRL) but she still can’t come to terms with it.
She is more like a mother figure in the group obviously being in the same year as you all but she’s somebody who can comfort and calm your friends and you easily and she is always able to help in a situation whenever as she is known to be a kind person everybody knows she is very kind she is well known but not popular like that.
Yunjin
Yunjin is a American girl who had moved here when she was about 11 which was where she had met you and Kazuha, Kazuha and you were friends with Sakura and Chaewon but weren’t exactly a friend group at that point to be honest Yunjin was the one who brought you together to be a friend group and with her extroverted personality it was easy for her.
Yunjin is likeable and her outgoing personality definitely makes it easy for her to make friends anywhere she goes so she is quite popular but she isn’t as popular as her other friend Ryujin she’s just Someone people will easily go and befriend but don’t get her wrong if you have any problems or do anything to her friends she will cut you off or just be really rude towards you.
Kazuha
Kazuha is also a Japanese Girl however she moved a lot later in life than Sakura and she struggled with Korean however you were her first friend, you had learnt Japanese from your father as he was a traveler and knew many different languages before hand so he taught you many as well, you and Kazuha conversed in Japanese however you did help teach her Korean from time to time but she did study at home so you grew hopeful for her.
She had moved to your school about a month before Yunjin came to the school and you instantly clicked having matching personalities and both being introverted and quiet, you bonded over small things and because you could speak to her in Japanese she was a lot more comfortable talking to you rather than other students, after she had spoken to Sakura as well she was comfortable with her but she normally just stayed with you.
Wonyoung
Wonyoung is like the it Girl of the friend group she is from a rich family and is literally loaded but she cares more for small details and being perfect, wonyoung doesn’t spend thousands each day like you’d expect someone like her to but she prefers to perfect everything before she goes to buy anything new.
She has a specific aesthetic where only people that eye details can actually notice the difference between her clipping her hair the same way with a different clip and saying her outfit looks so much better so she likes to make sure that the people she hangs out with acknowledges her slight changes over all.
Although she seems like she’d be popular she actually has a specific circle she stays in and it includes your friend group and a few of her cheerleader friends from her cheer team (she’s captain) but she also keeps on trying to “fix” herself because of her blatantly obvious attraction to her co-captain Yujin.

OOO I’d love to hear the quintessence hcs abt phantom/bell
~ @atmosghoul
Okay @atmosghoul I took a long time to answer you sorry! I’m in need of distraction right now and I am channeling it into answering you.
Quintessence lore dump under the cut
This is a bit hard to answer without dumping all the lore that I want to write in Kilonova.
But lll try. I kind of built a hierarchy of ghoul types in my head. There are 3 other ones outside of the 5 everyone talks about that I won’t discuss here. But from that there are two kinds of quintessence ghouls that split from the other one of the three.
So ghouls like Aether and Omega are probably closer to how other people HC them? I believe that they’re able to manipulate matter. I think that’s why they can heal ghouls/people etc. I think they have a near boundless amount of power FOR REASONS. (Reasons maybe forthcoming) but they’re born with a whole lot of it to begin with.
And then there’s Phantom and Bell. I know people Hc bell usually as Earth or an Earth/something mix. And so do I. But he wasn’t born that way. These two are kind of the opposite. More chaotic? They can also have an infinite amount of energy/power/whatever you want to call it because they are like little sponges sucking it up.
I wrote something before about Phantom in more detail, but to sum it up all the ghouls shed energy (so does everything?) and they like I said - sponges. Some of them have a better grip on it than others… like Bell. Who mostly soaked up that good Earth ghoul rizz because he liked the way it makes him feel. (Hence half quintessence/half earth) this is why bell’s eyes are two diff colours. He has excellent control and he is certified earth/quint by choice and now his one eye is a pretty amber colour.
Like most ghouls some are stronger than others. Some of them are like little black holes trying to suck everything in. And some of them can’t control it that well. And when they end up on earth (one of my hcs is that all of them have the same body on earth it’s just weaker) in that weakened vessel, well they can’t handle what they could down below.
This is why I draw Phantom with all of those glowing scars. Because he literally split at the seams and why he is blind. He’s like a rechargeable battery that exploded? He doesn’t really know how to stop sucking it all in. Which I’ve written about in various things all over the place. This is also why being up top is actually a relief for him. Because there aren’t ghouls everywhere. Why doesn’t he know how to control himself? Reasons.
Also… again from Kilonova I do believe that to some extent ghouls can willingly (or unwillingly) share power. There are different circumstances. One of them is quint to quint. Either type. So imagine what a quintessence ghoul could do with another one that can basically store an infinite amount of all of the elemental power? Hmmm. Maybe something questionable
Okay I tried to be vague and not spoil things for my big fic but maybe I just made no sense instead but if so I apologize.
Also they’re called inanus (the void) and clarissma (kind of means the brightest light but not exactly) I’ll let you guess which is which. I am a nerd and enjoy studying Latin in my spare time even tho I suck at it and Kilonova has some in it and a lot of things/names are Latin.

hi! can i ask what software you use to make gifs and how you make them? thank u!
Hello! Oooh it's tutorial time!~~ Disclaimer: I am fairly new to GIF making so it might not be perfect, and there might be easier ways out there, but this works for me and I enjoy DaVinci more than other softwares, and is actually easy once you practise a bit :)
I use DaVinci Resolve which is 100% free.
Here's my post about obtaining clips for Amazon & Netflix shows. For this example let's make a nice Aziracrow gif :)
Make a new project and go to File > Project Settings.
Tumblr media
2. Under Master Settings we're going to change our resolution to 720P Square then Save. (Once you get more confidence with it, play around with different ones, I just think square gifs looks nice)
Tumblr media
3. Drag your clips into DaVinci (don't judge my clip labelling system)
Tumblr media
4. Drag the clip you want into the timeline. You can use your arrow keys (<- ->) on the keyboard or just drag/click along the timeline to move it, then to cut your clip up, use the little scissors. I'm going to make a gif of the little smile Azi gives Crowley when he sees him because it's so cute
I'm going to cut the clip right when Azi looks at Crowley and then delete the first bit I don't want, then delete the grey empty block it leaves behind. Now the section I just created boops to the front of my video.
Tumblr media
5. I'm going to right click my clip, then Change Clip Duration > then under Frames change it Duration box to '60' > click Change to save it
I usually make my GIFs anywhere from 50 frames to 70 frames (depending on the quality I want, more on that later). For this GIF I'm going with 60 frames, feel free to experiment with it once you get the hang of it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. Most GIFs are slowed down a bit. I like it slow my GIFs to 0.5 speed. To do that, I go to the little mixer icon > the speed dial icon > then type 0.50 in the box (3rd image)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. Now we gotta make the image actually fit the square nicely. We're going to the 3rd tab.
Tumblr media
Then we're going to click on our clip and under Transform, adjust the Zoom. We're going to change Zoom to from 1.000 to 2.400 as that fits nicely in this square.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9. Let's make them a bit more centre by adjusting the Position, just play with it until you're happy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10. I'm pretty happy I'm done. Obviously once you get more confidence, play around on the tabs with the different effects and adding text and such, but for now we're going basic.
Let's go to the rocket ship icon.
Tumblr media
We're just going to double check our settings look good. It's a GIF and it's 720 square.
Tumblr media
11. Then we'll Add to Render Queue > Render All
Tumblr media
12. Now we have our GIF saved to our computer, we need to check the file size to make sure it's under 10MG. If it's over 10MG, Tumblr and most other sites will say it's too big.
Find your GIF > right click it > Properties
Darn my file is too big...
Tumblr media
13. We have two choices to make it smaller. Either we:
a) make the GIF shorter (see step 5). b) make the quality lower. I usually do this by lowering my colours - at the minute it's at 128 so I'm changing it to 64.
When you're happy, Add to Render Queue again (if it asks about replacing the file just select Replace), then Render All
Tumblr media
Let's check my GIF size again. Yay - it's under 10MB!
Tumblr media
It might take some playing around - it's ok, take your time, ask other GIF makers for advice, watch youtube tutorials. You'll get the hang of it really quickly :)

How to add a page with custom theme
If you want to create a WIP page, character page, page for all your interests (e.g., reading or gaming catalogue, etc.) or whatever.
I tried to keep this as simple as possible; hope it's helpful!
Note: You can only do this on desktop. And this tutorial was made using the new tumblr layout.
Tumblr media
1. Go to Settings.
2. on the right side, under Blogs, click on the blog you want to add a page to.
3. In the middle you will see the basics of your blog that you can edit, such as appearance, enabling asks, choosing whether to show your likes/followers.
Where it says Custom Theme, click the slider to Enable custom theme.
4. Click on the Edit theme button that appears.
Next you will see a left sidebar where you can customize your main theme (theme of your entire blog). On the right side will be a preview of your blog.
Tumblr media
But that's a different tutorial. For now we want to create a page.
5. Scroll down and look for Add a page in the left sidebar.
Tumblr media
Once you add a page, you can give it the Standard Layout or a Custom Layout or Link.
You can choose which one in the top left corner of the box that appears.
Tumblr media
Standard Layout: The page will use your blog's main theme. If you just started out on tumblr you most likely have some default theme. You can type normally in this box, like you would when making a text post.
Link: The "page" can go to an external link.
Custom Layout: The page will have whatever theme you put here in code. Every page can have a different theme. It's great and fun.
6. Choose Custom Layout.
Paste your own code if you know how to make one. Or get one that's made already. Some places to find tumblr themes:
magnus themes
theme hunter
vault themes
shudesigns
glenthemes
You will find some instructions on how to use each theme. I do recommend knowing some basic HTML because it's useful.
7. Once you choose a theme you like, copy the theme's code. Usually the instructions will have a link to an external source like pastebin, where the code's text will be stored.
8. Paste the code in your Custom Layout box.

9. Give your page a URL.
10. If you want, you can click the slider to Show a link to this page. If you enable it, a link to the page will appear on your homepage. In this case, give it a title.
Alternatively, you might be using a custom main theme and don't want the link to show up in its default way on your homepage because you would rather play around with the custom code. Or perhaps you want the page to be "secret" (e.g., it's available, but not ready to be shown). Or you might have minor pages and it doesn't really matter to you if people can find it or not. A page could be entirely just for you. In that case, disable Show a link to this page.
Tumblr media
You can click Update Preview to see how the page will look. This will show on the right side.
Tumblr media
12. When you're done, click Save.
Note 1: The preview isn't always accurate due to spacing constraints so I recommend having your new page open in another tab. (You must save it initially otherwise it won't exist.) So any time you make changes, save your code and see how it looks in another tab.
Edit code > save > open new tab > type in URL of your new page. Any time you make changes, refresh if changes don't show immediately.
Update Preview is good though for minor edits like font colour.
Note 2: If you exit custom theme editing, you will lose prior progress. So remember to save! But sometimes you don't know if you want to keep the changes you made. That's another reason I recommend having your new custom page open in a separate tab. If you exit custom theme, you won't be able to restore previous saves in the event you decide you actually prefer some previous changes. If you keep editing open, you can freely undo (ctrl+z) any changes you made and save when you're happy.
Congratulations you have added a page to your blog and given it a custom theme!
If you're unable to create/save a custom theme and you get the dumb javascript message (“Looks like you’re trying to add some Javascript or invalid html to your page. You’ll need to contact Support if you’d like to use Javascript.”) go here on how to fix that.

What was your Coachella of 2016?
Basically the outfits you wore throughout the years (doesn’t matter if we only see them once) and rate them and why you wore them?!
thank you for elaborating because i have 0 idea what coachella is
i cant be bothered to find an individual picture for all of these so heres a reference and i'll just talk about them in order
Tumblr media
kiddo fit : was comfy and matched my brother, 6/10. could be more individual and fun, but was sentimental.
new graduate fit: still comfy, unique colour for the uchiha. i think i chose that shade of blue because it made a statement without being....garish. i wanted to separate myself from my brother. short-sleeves because i run pretty hot. 7/10, still basic but more individual.
genin fit: iconic. form, style, and function, as i mentioned in a different ask, the leg and arm warmers worked to hide ninja tools like my strings. 10/10, i think when most people think of me they think of this.
chunin exam fit: this one was a functional outfit. i spent pretty much all that time training in the middle of nowhere with a technique that was dangerous and painful. the bandages and the braces are to help stabilize my arms for the chidori without being a fire hazard like the arm and leg warmers would've been. i also had a lot of burns and sprains that i needed to treat while still training. 5/10, at least it's useful but i'm not proud of the fact that i chose a romper because rock lee wore a jumpsuit.
otogakure fit: another iconic fit. this is actually a combination of function and a fashion statement. the hakama was open because i didnt want to buy new clothes every time i used my curse mark. the obi and the blue cloth help me carry kusanagi while also maintaining the samurai silhouette. to be brief, i represented myself as a samurai because i was single-mindedly dedicated to the honour of my clan. 10/10, perfect.
renegade fit: this is actually my favourite outfit. it was comfortable both in terms of fabric and movement. i like the colours. i think it's attractive and makes me look dangerous. the bandages were necessary but still look cool, and the ones on my forehead make you wonder "is he reclaiming konoha?" 11/10.
akatsuki fit: my hair was a disaster so i kind of wish i had made more use of the hood. at the same time though, i wanted the fear that my face and the akatsuki cloak combined would inspire. 4/10, the only points here really come from the improvement on the cloak. youre welcome obito.
konoha crush pt 2 fit: i...am ambivalent towards this look. it kept me cool and it looked nice. i think the return to the short sleeves was some sort of reclamation of my youth, but it also feels confused and speaks to my mental state. it made me recognizable but still not exactly the same as before. 8/10.
vote 2 fit: i mean...the silhouette changed to something really similar to my brother's clothes under his cloak. the clothes were torn. im glad i wore short sleeves since i ended up losing an arm. 4/10, somehow the result of a lot of effort and no effort at the same time.
from this point on, i didnt actually wear any of these outfits as they are so i'll just comment on what i like and what i actually wore.
10. ronin fit: so i did wear a headband but i wore it under my bangs, but that was because i used a bow often to hunt for food. i think this outfit is ugly and im annoyed at it. 3/10 for the poncho. i did wear a poncho type thing, but i wore it more like the otogakure outfit--folded down around my waist for access to my weapons but easy to pull back over myself for warmth. i wore a long sleeved mesh shirt for compression to help with the phantom pains in my arm, and a shirt and pants that looked like my brother's but in a darker blue. you can imagine something similar to what gaara wore the first time we met him with the asymmetrical visual of a japanese archery uniform. in my mind i was thinking more artemis/ancient greece.
11. interpol fit: i dont hate this but i dont love it. it doesnt really fit for the purposes i wouldve been using it for because it just stands out a lot and looks like a military outfit. 4/10 because it's not ugly, but the form betrays the function. in actuality i wore something similar to the renegade fit, just in more plain colours and a full haori. think a farmer's outfit in tan with black accents and black pants. dark blue haori over everything to keep warm and look plain. i was trying to blend in with civilians.
12. dad fit: i feel like this is something more like what itachi would wear at that age, but i do like it. the cloak seems cumbersome at this point though, i would overheat fast. 7/10. since im nowhere near this age, i'll comment on what i wear these days for missions. it's pretty similar to the renegade fit as well, but the hakama is left fully open and worn more like a vest. in a kendo uniform, you tie up the sleeves but in my case i tie them up to essentially make the hakama sleeveless. i just wear a somewhat loose tank top under that. picture charasuke. on the bottom i wear athletic shorts that i suppose are similar to the ones i wore as a genin but longer and maybe a bit looser. long shin guards and ninja sandals as well, so it looks a bit similar to the bottom of the otogakure era clothing but more kendo than samurai. colours vary but i tend to keep it all black, grey tank top. if im feeling festive then grey shorts, black tank top, blue hakama. i do own an orange tank top thanks to naruto. naruto also made me a necklace with just one pearl on it. it looks both like the full moon but also his sun mark, so it's nice.
around the village i just wear a dark blue haori with sweats and a t-shirt. nothing too interesting because konoha doesnt deserve that from me.

Family Love.
BAU x GN!Reader.
Summary: Your getting married, and your team helps you get ready. When Rossi realizes how stressed you are he offers you some help. Rossi has been your father figure since you joined the team, always looking out for you even agreeing to give you away at your wedding.
Words: 3.5k
A/N: This was originally going to be a Rossi x reader father figure fic, but then kinda just turned into a full BAU x Reader fic. My bad. The reader is gender netural along with the readers partner.
Tumblr media
Most of the team was asleep on the flight back home. The Bau had just wrapped up a child abducting case that had lasted over 3 days. The case had ended badly for the families and the team. Once everyone had bored the jet, they all stayed to themselves. Most of the team had fallen asleep, except Hotch and Rossi and yourself who were all reading quietly. You were sitting on your own, with your notebooks, planners, and wedding magazines covering the table in front of you. Your wedding is approaching extremely fast and your maid of honour is now pressing you to hurry up and make the final decisions. You never could get how planning a wedding could take so long. You really don’t understand why picking a colour scheme is important and why couldn't you just have some basic flowers. Sighing tiredly, as you pick up your coffee, needing some refreshments before you continue. 
~~~
“You look like you could do with a distraction” Jumping slightly, looking up to see who broke the silence of the jet. Smiling weakly as you see Rossi sit down across from you.
“I would love one” You reply quietly so as to not disturb anyone. Glancing over you see Hotch is now asleep, his book forgotten on the table where he must have dropped it when he drifted to sleep.
“Wedding planning, ah the memories” He sighs, smirking.
“That right, you had 4 or 5 of those didn't you?” Teasing him.
“Hey hey hey, it was only 3 marriages, 2 proper weddings” Shaking his head at his own answer. “I thought Garcia was in charge of wedding planning?” He asks you, looking down at all the papers.
“Apparently due to the fact Im the one getting married, so she wants me to make the final decisions” You groan softly “I picked her as the maid of honour so I wouldn't have to do anything”
“Hey at least you have all the invitations out, and if everything else fails, you can get married in my backyard, which seems to be the place for weddings” He chuckles warmly, laughing along with him as you start to relax again. 
“We might do that, but I want to get married on a cliff, the sunset will be so pretty, also if anyone annoys me, I can simply, just push” Smirking at him.
“Remind me not to get on your bad side that day” He raised his hands jokingly pretending to surrender.
“Just don't get on my bad side at all Rossi” Rolling your eyes at him, glancing down at one of the magazines.
“So is the cliff pushing, for your partner or your family?”
“My family isn’t coming, the cliff is actually for the guest, anyone turning up in my colour, I will push them off” Picking up one of the wedding theme magazines flicking through it.
~~~
“Your family isn’t coming?” Rossi asks, watching you closely with concern.
“Nope, they made it clear they don't want to come, so I didn't bother inviting them, they would just cause drama, My wedding day is only going to be held with my real family” Smiling faintly as you turn the pages, looking at the different types of dresses and suits. You aren’t even bothered that your family isn’t going to be there. You only cared that your team will be there.
“So if they won't be there, who else have you invited, just the team?” He asks softly. Trying not to press you too much about your family, knowing it's a difficult subject.
“Just the team and their plus ones, plus Emily of course, also Ash is inviting their family and a couple close friends, we tried keeping the guess list to under 25”
“Small wedding” Rossi Comments.
“Well we both don't like people so” Smirking, shrugging your shoulders. “I only need the people that care for us to be there” Sighing you look out the window. There are a few things you always wanted in your wedding, that you simply just can’t have this time.
~~~
“(Y/N) what's really on your mind?” Rossi's voice breaks you out of your thoughts. Turning his head to the side, his eyes narrowing as he takes you in, reading you easily.
“It's nothing, it's just” Sighing, looking back up at him. “I'm really happy to get married, it's just going to be different than what I had pictured as a kid, instead of my blood family I get a better one” You smile gently, even though you're forcing it. It doesn't mean you're not happy with how things are. You couldn't be more happy, more healthier, now that you are no longer surrounded by a toxic family. “You know Rossi ever since I joined this team, you and Hotch soon became my father figures, I never thanked you for taking me under your wing” You look up at him softly. A small smile full of love playing on your lips.
“This team is our family, you will always be our kid” He smiles tenderly, watching you a little concerned. Rossi has always wanted to protect you, ever since you joined the team 6 years ago. You were 22 when you joined, freshly out of the academy. You managed to fit in perfectly with everyone, but Rossi had quickly become over-protective of you, and throughout the years, you two only grew closer. He always thought of you as his child, the bond you two have is one so similar to a father and Child relationship. It was something you both never knew you needed, until you had built it up with each other.
~~~
“Dave, can I ask you something, you can say no if you like” You take a deep calming breath, as you speak quietly.
“You can ask me anything kiddo”
“Would you walk me down the aisle please” Speaking softly as you look up into his eyes. Rossi's face softened, pride and warmth feeling him up, his heart swelling with love.
“I would be honoured to (Y/N)” Smiling, leaning over to take your hand, squeezing it gently.
~~~
The few weeks go by quickly and next thing you know it was the morning of your wedding, and gosh, are you nervous wreck with your stomach twisting and turning. You slowly sit up, having barely gotten any sleep last night. Having slept at Penelope's place last night, as you and Ash didn't want to see each other until the wedding. While you're sitting on the couch, your heart pounding away, feeling as if it may explode at any given moment. You hear your phone ding, picking it up to check the text you receive. Smiling softly as you see it's from your lover, Ash. The smile fades quickly as you click it, waiting anxiously as it takes ages to load. You know it wouldn't be anything bad, but that doesn’t stop the negative thoughts from intruding into your mind. Your mind and anxiety easing as you read the messages. 
Ash: Morning my love, can’t wait to see you today I love you.
~~~
You: Good Morning baby can’t believe todays the big day Love you See you later. 
Smiling at your phone, placing it down when you see Garcia walks in. 
“Thought I could hear you awake” She smiles softly at you, still looking half asleep. “I can not believe you're getting married today” She walks over to the kitchen, starting to make some coffee.
“Yeah, fuck” Staring at the wall, feeling as if you’re about to be sick. Your hands started sweating, You can’t seem to understand why you’re feeling this way. You love Ash, you two have been together for years, why are you suddenly so nervous? Penelope walks back over carrying coffee, passing you a mug. 
“You look like you need this” She smiles gently, as you take it.
“Thank you, you know I could do with something a little strong” Your laugh comes out a little shaky, sipping your coffee.
“I think it's a little early for that first, but I'm sure once we get to Rossi, he will have enough alcohol to help you out.” She speaks softly. Patting your lap gently, drinking her own coffee. 
“Good, because I can not be this nervous when I'm walking down the aisle” Rubbing your head, trying to calm yourself.
~~~
“How long before we need to leave for Rossi’s?” You ask after finishing your coffee.
“We need to be there around 10am, it's only 7am now, we have a little bit of time, we do need to go pick up your suit and a few items so we should leave here just before nine alright” Penelope smiles at you reassuringly. 
“Okay right, and are you sure the boys know what they are supposed to do, and where everything is meant to be set up, are you sure they even want to help, oh gosh I should message them” Your words start rumbling out, reaching out for your phone. You find that Garcia's hand is already grabbing your it, moving it from your reach. 
“(Y/n) try to relax, I was talking to Morgan and Rossi last night, they know exactly what they are supposed to do okay, and the team will be at Rossi place after we get there so then you can stress out at everyone then alright?” Garcia places your phone in her pockets as she speaks calmly. 
“I still don't know how you managed to get all the boys to agree to set up the wedding, you even got Reid on board, and even managed to get Rossi to let us get ready at his place today” Shaking your head lightly, letting out a breath trying to destress.
“Oh no one can say no to me sweets, it's one of my superpowers” You both start to laugh, slowly relaxing. Knowing deep down that when your best friend is in charge everything will be okay.
~~~
As you walk into Rossi’s house you can hear music and Laughter coming from the kitchen. You and Garcia walk in, seeing Rossi, Hotch, Morgan, JJ and Emily all standing around the kitchen drinking and talking. 
“Well hello you finally show up” Rossi teases smiling over at you two. 
“Someone had to check a thousand times that we had everything” Garcia laughs walking over hugging Emily tightly before taking the drink Morgan is offering her.
“Hey I was not the bad” Rolling your eyes up at her, hugging Emily after her. “Thanks for coming Ems”
“Like I would ever miss your wedding” Emily smiles, hugging you back tightly. You two pull aways slowly,turning to face the rest of the group.
“Reid and Alex not here?” You ask, taking the drink that Rossi is offering you.
“Not yet, Blake is going to be slightly later, and Reids going to just meet us at the place to set up” Morgan smirks over at you. “Ash was texting me this morning they seems just as nervous as you”
“Pfff I am not nervous” Shaking your head as you sipping your drinks, You feel everyone looking at you, holding back their smirks and laughter.
“You don't even need to be a profiler to see that was a lie” Garcia laughs at you.
“Hey! Yall need to stop picking on the newlywed here” Rolling your eyes laughing along with them.
~~~
You excuse yourself after a bit to use the restroom, locking the door behind you. Clenching the sink, looking up at the mirror, your stomach can't seem to stop turning. Due to the fact you have drunk 4 cups of coffee this morning, you don't know why you thought caffeinated drinks would help calm your nerves but, today wasn't a day you could think straight. Splashing some cold water on your face while taking a few deep breaths, once you have regrounded yourself, you walk back out. Only to stop when you see Derek leaning against the wall.
“Oh sorry didn't realise there was a line” Smirking at him.
“There isn't, I just need to talk to you” He sighs softly. Panic starts to fill you immediately at the tone in his voice. 
“Is it Ash you said they were nervous, are they getting cold feet, are they okay?” Your eyes widen watching him closely. Morgan laughs slightly, smiling gently. 
“No nothing like that, they are fine, You both are just nervous for no reason”
“Hey, do not say that, you will jinx something, so many things could go wrong today” You argue softly, relieved that Ash was alright.
“I just wanted to check that you were sure about this, getting married” Morgan watches you, worry in his eyes.
“What? Of course I'm sure about marrying them. I love Ash” You stare at him confused. 
“I just wanted to double check, you know I care about you both, Just don't want to see Ash get hurt, not after their last fiance” 
“I get it, you're worried about them, but Derek you know me, I never want to hurt them, they have been through enough I don't want to cause them more pain.” Smiling reassuringly at him. 
Smiling back at you he shakes his head. “You're right, I'm sorry I'm just a little protective over them.”
“I know you are” Shaking your head laughing at him. “I don't think I ever thanked you for introducing us to each other, I will always owe you for that”
‘Just glad my two friends are finally happy” Smiling as he pulls you into a hug.
~~~
The day passes by quickly, the boys all head away to get the wedding set up. As you and the girls sit around having a couple of drinks, doing each other's hair and makeup when Alex turns up. Garcia Works her magic on you, keeping your makeup a natural look, making you want to cry when you see it in the mirror. Your hair and makeup looked amazing, matching so well with your emerald green suit. Your emotions have been all over the place while getting ready. JJ had been quick to reassure you that it was completely normal, and that she started crying when she got into her wedding dress. Everytime you got nervous, and went to ring someone to double check something, one of the girls would grab your phone from you. It's now almost 4pm, and you're meant to leave at 4:30. Your wedding is going to take place just as the sunsets at 5pm.
~~~
With everyone seated around on the couch, everything was ready, all you guys had left to do was put your heels on, You were all drinking, you were drinking a bit fast trying to settle your nerves, becoming slightly tipsy. Giggling slightly as Emily asks an important question.
“So (Y/N), what are you wearing underneath your beautiful suit?” She smirks at you. 
“Ems really?” You laugh at her, rolling your eyes, sipping on your champagne. 
“Well it is a important question” JJ adds, giggling at you
“oh come on spill, I also want to know” Garcia smirks, placing her drink down. Rolling your eyes at them you turn to Alex, for some back up. 
“Hey, I can not help you, I mean it's them, come on” Alex laughs while sipping on her drink.
“Fine, I got a light blue lace lingerie, it's got a little bow on it, It's their favourite colour, never fails to turn them on” Giggling feeling a little tipsy as you talk.
“Wow hey hey hey, I did not need to hear that” Rossi walks in from the doorway. Shaking his head, holding his hands up in defence mode. 
“Neither did I, for the record” Reid says grossed out, walking in right behind Rossi. The girls can’t help but end up in fits of laughter, at the boys reactions. Instantly you hide your face amongst the pillows as your face starts to burn. Inside you're just hoping that the couch will swallow you up.
“What are you two doing here anyway?” You ask, when you finally bring your head back up.
“We are your ride remember?” Reid speaks, “plus we wanted to check up see how you all are doing and how the set up here is going” 
“Well everything is set and ready to go” You smile, sliping your shoes on.
~~~
You peek around the corner, seeing that everything is set up perfectly, watching everyone getting into their places. Smiling softly as you see Garcia fix up Reid's hair, those two getting the last minute things sorted. Looking over at Ash, you couldn't help the big grin slipping onto your face. They look so nervous, but seem so happy, Morgan was fixing their tie carefully, giving them words of encouragement. 
“Hey (Y/n/n)” Turning round you see Hotch standing there smiling at you, proudly. “How are you feeling, nervous?” 
“Oh extremely, More nervous of the face that I'm most likely going to fall flat on my face due to these heels” You both laugh softly, taking a deep breath. “Were you this nervous when you married Haley?” You ask softly, watching him.
“Oh I was more nervous, I vomited beforehand” He chuckles, trying to lighten up the mood.
“Yeah I'm surprised I haven't yet” You pat your suit down, looking down as you try to straighten everything out.
“You look amazing” Hotch reassures you with a small smile.
“Thanks Aaron, It means alot that you and Jack could make it”You smile up at him slowly, taking calming breaths.
“We would never miss this for the world. You are family, always remember that” He rubs your arm softly, quickly you pull him into a hug, hiding your face in his chest.
“I’ve got you (Y/n)” Aaron speaks softly, wrapping his arms around you. Pulling you close as he kisses the top of your head softly. 
~~~
Hotch walks away so he can find his seat next to Jack. Reid standing up front, ready to officiate your wedding. 
“You ready kid?” Rossi asks, coming to stand beside you. Wrapping his arm around you pulling you into a side hug.
“I sure am” Smiling, taking a deep breath, you loop your arm with Rossi. “Can you promise me something, Dave?” You whisper quietly, as you two start to approach everyone.
“What that kiddo?” He looks at you softly, a fatherly look in his eyes.
“Don't let me fall” Smiling softly glancing up at him, worry pure in your eyes.
“Never” He smiles lighty, placing a kiss to the top of your head. Coming to a halt at the top of the aisle.
The music starts playing as everyone turns to look at you. You catch Ash eyes, tears flooding to yours, as you take in how stunning they look standing up there. You can not wait to spend the rest of your life with them, forever. For your family to be even more complete. The walk down seems to take forever, Rossi helping you stay steady on your feet. Finally you reach your Love.
~~~
“You may Kiss the —-” Spencer smiles widely, unable to finish his sentence before Ash is reaching forward. Cupping your face as they kiss you passionately, you're unable to help it when you melt into the kiss. Feeling like this is the best kiss in your entire life, everyone around you is cheering and celebrating. You slowly pull away from them looking up at them with pure love.
“I love you Ash” You giggle, biting your lip.
“I love you to my Love” Ash smiles down at you kissing you again softly, only pulling apart hearing people laugh.
~~~
After all the photos get taken, including the ones with everyone in your newly extended family. Everyone is starting to head back to Rossi as it starts to get darker. You try to go and help with packing up, as you know there isn't too much to do. So you're happy to help, but Reid and Hotch keep telling you to go and have fun, refusing your help. You don’t listen to them, grabbing some of the lights to put away when Jack and Henry come running over to you. Both of them grabs your hands pulling you towards the ladies, saying they were sent to capture you. You laugh as you let the boys drag you away, once you reach JJ and Emily, they run off towards Will and Rossi. 
~~~
The rest of the night goes by beautifully. When everyone gets back to Rossi’s and you have your first dance with Ash. It was a clumsy dance, but it was one of those memories you will never forget. That night you get to dance with everyone in your team, having cute little moments with them all. You're dancing and laughing with Aaron, when the girls pull you away from him. Making you dance with the four girls, all of you laughing as you see Hotch standing there looking playfully hurt, and then shocked when Jack jumps on his back suddenly.
~~~
Tonight couldn't have gotten more perfect, you think to yourself looking around. Being surrounded by your chosen family tonight, those who will always love and support you no matter what. That's what a wedding is truly for.

"Shatter Me" kirumi tojo angst fic
info: gn!reader, established relationship, tw: pstd, scars, mentions of execution, around 3,200 words
type: angst with hurt/comfort, oneshot, post-game AU
a/n: this is a completely indulgent kirumi angst I had cooking up, basically this is set after post-game where everything was a simulation and the damage done to the 'characters' is done to them irl title is a reference to this song which I personally think suits Kirumi well but who knows lmfao
⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡
it was all like a horrible nightmare, a nightmare you weren’t even sure you could ever wake from. all the death, the pain and the misery would never be something you could shake from. every single trial, each passing moment your life was on the line… yet each time someone dies, you just wished you took their place. you survived, at what cost? only to be told that your talent and memories were nothing more than a fabrication to appease an audience? you never really found out if those interview videos were real or not…  you saw yourself, clear as day; “if I were in Danganronpa…I would love to be an Ultimate !3$5&*+...I would kill in a way no one has ever seen!”
did you really say that? was that even you, looking up at the camera with wide, child-like eyes declaring you’d… kill? In some ways, you wished you were the first to go out… so you didn’t have to witness the death of your own lover.
kirumi tojo… the “Ultimate Maid” or so they wanted them to all believe. you instantly connected with her; her calm, composed and almost motherly demeanour sucked you in like a moth to a flame. even from the beginning it seemed like she felt it too, she treated you differently than the others. she kept her ‘devoted’ maid self but she checked on you more often, she always asked if you needed anything unprompted, and poured you more tea when you were finished with a cup. you spent many moments alone with her, she enjoyed your company and laughed at your stupid jokes. the first time you kissed her; it was in the spur of the moment, you weren’t thinking. she was just so beautiful, up close to you and asking you in a soft whisper if you wanted sugar with your tea. yet when your lips connected to hers, she was shocked of course but she didn’t pull herself away from you.
what things you would do just to go back to those days, where the worries of murder and despair weren’t constantly plaguing your mind. nights upon nights you sat in your room, staring up at the ceiling asking yourself why kirumi went to the extremes that she did. It was sickeningly twisted what the motive that was created for her was, the prime minister of japan… it sounded silly now you thought of it outloud, if you knew about the truth behind it all you would definitely have thought that it was some poorly written story by a teenage girl. However, you couldn’t even fathom that thought as you were screaming and crying at kirumi that she was a traitor and betrayed your trust. you regretted those words deeply… as those were the last words you ever said to her before she was executed. you barely watched it and the little moments you did watch were enough to make you heave up. the last memory you thought of kirumi was her lifeless body on the floor, splattered and unrecognisable.
you looked up. your eyes just met with pure sterile white walls. after the events of the killing game, the simulation… waking up with wires around your body, you never loved the colour white so much. you were currently sat in the recovery centre, where the various victims and… culprits were recovering from their in-game injuries. it made your skin crawl to think that the simulated deaths acted as if they existed in real life too; it broke your heart to think how everyone else was handling it. However, your mind was entirely focused on one person and one person alone.
how long have you been standing here? staring at the door that led to kirumi’s recovery room? an hour? more than that? it’s not the idea that you didn’t want to see her, you were jumping off the walls in happiness to find out that your partner was alive but not unscathed. you were afraid - afraid of what was on the other side of that door, what condition kirumi would be in. would she be happy to see you?
you swallowed a thick lump in your throat, a shaky hand grasping the doorknob and you already felt the bead of sweat going down your forehead. you knew that you couldn’t just back away from this. bad outcome or not, you were going to see her, you just wanted to see her again.
with a gentle click the door opened and you peered in. there she was, dressed in a patient gown and sat in a wheelchair by the window, her eyes vacant yet staring at the courtyard of the facility. your heart skipped a beat as you held your breath, seeing her alive like this… you had to hold yourself to make sure that you weren’t dreaming and the nightmare would come back all over again.
“kirumi…” you called for her and your voice reverberated off the walls despite the fact you spoke in a whisper. her eyes widened, turning herself as fast as her condition would allow her to. you just wanted to run over to her, hug her tight and swing her around in utter joy. however, stepping closer you really started to see how serious her condition may be. minus the fact she was in a wheelchair it looked like her entire body was wrapped in bandages, at least, based on what you could see outside of the gown. her warm green eyes stared at you like if you were a ghost, hell… to her, you probably were as much as a ghost she is to you she didn’t say anything which worried you, you slowly sat down on a chair that was near the window as well. you looked out the window awkwardly, trying to think on what to even say. you looked back at her to find she was still looking at you.
“uhm… how are you feeling?” that was the only words you could even think of to say, there were a thousand questions running through your mind but you wouldn’t want to overwhelm her. she took a deep breath, it sounded uneven like if she had trouble getting air. finally, she spoke. “I feel pain all over. my head… it hurts.” hearing her voice was a relief even though it had a shake to it. “yeah… I can imagine it does hurt…” your mind flashes to her execution; from the small parts you saw through the cracks in your fingers, she fell head first. the thought made you cringed. “you… understand what’s going on, right?” you asked her. you were told that the others had been given information when they woke up… which was two days ago if you weren’t mistaken.
she gently nods her head in a twitchy sort of motion. come to think of it, her head seemed to wobble slightly even when sitting still. jesus. “all of… that… was fake? a simulation..? our… memories were toyed with…” you saw her bandage-wrapped hands clench which caused you to grit your teeth. you hated this so much.
“y…yeah… we were… fictional characters created for some.. dumb show or… whatever…” you didn’t tell her that there was the possibility that you all signed up for it. you weren’t sure what was true or not. “we are real now, of course… I’m… here.” you reached a hand to gently place it over hers, she flinched and you looked at her with apologetic eyes. “my purpose… was… just an illusion then…” she muttered with her brows wrinkling. “I… I thought I did what was right… for… my people. those people didn’t even exist…”
you grimaced. she meant her ‘fake’ past, right? the people of Japan was what made her murder another, her selfless devotion. “am I a monster?” those very words made your eyes widened and you shook your head vigorously. “no… no, of course not...  if I was in your shoes I would’ve done the same thing.” you said rather seriously and she looked at you, searching for a lie of some kind. she sighed softly. “you do not seem the type to do such a thing at all… you don’t have to try and make me feel better about myself. I see the person I am now.” “but you’re not a monster, kirumi… and I’m not just saying it to make you feel better. you’re not the only one to have motives to kill… the ones after were… much worse than yours…”
you saw the way her eyes darted around in shock, realising that the killings had continued after her death. she looked away and covered her mouth with her hand. she looked like she was going to be sick. “however, I had… betrayed you..”
hearing your own words echo from her lips made a deep guilt sink into your stomach. to think that was the last thing you ever said to her before she met her demise… because you were so damn angry, angry at her and… angry at yourself, angry at the sick twisted minds that constructed  the killing game. 
“I’m sorry.” was all you could say. kirumi looked at you completely shocked. why were you apologising…? she was the one that had killed, betrayed you and threw away everything you created together. despite her feelings, she relaxed into her wheelchair and breathed out, like if she had been holding her breath for some time. “I… I am sorry too…” 
god you wanted to cry right then and there as she said that. she was not innocent at all but something within you just wanted to hold her in your arms and never let go, you never want to lose her ever again. “are you… considering to go through the treatment…?” you asked, hoping to change the topic a bit even if it was still morbid. she nods her head gently. “yes… they said I should partake in small exercises like catching a ball… and… relearning how to walk.” 
you bit your bottom lip at that news. it could be much worse… at least it sounded like she had a chance to get a normal life at some point. “but… until then I will need assistance in basic needs…” she said with disappointment in her voice. it made you ache… simulation or not you know she feels useless right now. “I’ll be there to help you.” you were quite blunt in your words - but you meant it. you would be there for kirumi every step of the way, everything she needed you will provide. she looked at you shocked as she thought you hated her for the acts she did… she nods her head, however. “...thank you, dear.”
it had been a full month ever since you reunited with kirumi again, you supported her and helped her through the process of readjusting to this life, like you were. you were there for her exercises and treatment, watching her try to walk again was a heartbreaking but determination increasing experience. she wouldn’t be able to take full steps without assistance for awhile, however for right now she could at least stand from her chair and move to another quickly. it was only just at the start of this month that kirumi was out of the recovery centre and now sharing a ground-floor apartment with you. it certainly made things feel more ‘normal’ and no doubt a lot more comfortable for kirumi as she didn’t need to stare at blinding white walls anymore. you admittedly did everything for your girlfriend as it just became second nature to you at this point; you could see how desperately she wanted to clean or even wipe down a surface to feel like she was doing something. she knows that she was never supposed to be the ‘Ultimate Maid’ yet the yearning to do something, anything was still there. 
as for right now, you were cleaning the bathroom and kirumi sat at the dining table with a book. reading was now one of her popular pastimes, she greatly appreciated that you bought her so many books to read… books that she enjoyed quite a lot. hearing you scrub the tiles in the bathroom made for some interesting background noise, although she found your presence anywhere in the apartment to be relaxing. she would’ve indulged it some more if she didn’t just gain the most head-splitting headache possible that nearly made her drop her book as she gripped her head. no matter what, it didn’t seem like these headaches were ever going to go away. she sighed softly, putting her book on the table as she wheels over to the kitchen counter and opens the medicine cabinet which she could reach for obvious reasons. she grabbed her painkillers and quickly downed them with a swig of water. she closed the cabinet and was about to go back to her book until her eyes spied the set of kitchen knives.
her jaw clenched, looking down at the floor. she just wanted to be like… like herself again, like in the killing game. she was useful in it. everyone needed her, wanted her. she could service everyone and be the perfect girl she wanted to be. she leaned up slightly and grabbed the biggest kitchen knife, wheeling to the fridge and grabbing out a tomato. she just wanted to prove herself… that she could do something. she went back to the dining table, swallowing a lump in her throat as she stared at the red fruit, knife in hand as she positioned it just like how she remembers.
slowly, she attempted to cut slices of tomato as if she was preparing a salad of some kind. the cuts were irregular in size and certainly not perfect at all. kirumi clenched her jaw, trying to focus harder, she had to.try harder. no matter how hard she gripped the knife her hand would shake, becoming increasingly the more frustrating that she couldn’t cut a fucking perfect slice-
she flinched as the knife’s blade grazed her finger, nicking it and making it bleed. she dropped the knife quickly, looking down at her finger as the blood oozed out. she sucked in a loud gasp which you heard clearly. “kirumi? you okay?-” you walked into the dining room and your jaw went slack. “kirumi!” you rushed to her side, looking down at the little injury on her hand then at face. she looked absolutely shellshocked. “what were you doing…?” you asked, eyes darting around at the scene. “I… I just wanted to… show I’m useful…” her voice was no more than a whisper as she brought her finger to her mouth to suck on the cut with her brows furrowed. you frowned, putting your hand on her back and rubbing it slowly. “you don’t have to prove anything, rumi… you’re still recovering and adjusting… please don’t force yourself to do things like this, it needs to be taken slowly…” you massaged the back of her neck with your thumb, feeling her relaxed in your touch she wobbled her head in a nod. It seems she understood you. you hated treating her like she was a vulnerable child… but at this stage that was what she was at the moment. 
“I’ve finished cleaning the bathroom… would you like a shower?” you gently asked her. she didn’t like taking showers or even baths, something about the water made her want to shake all over. she especially disliked getting water on her hands although she couldn’t really tell you why just yet.
she stiffens for a moment, thinking about it for far longer than she needed to. however, she nodded her head and moved herself into the bathroom as you watched with a worried face. you were seriously getting concerned for her… it was like every day was complete pain for her, although that wasn’t far from the truth at all… what you would do just to feel her pain instead.
following kirumi into the bathroom, you closed the door and flashed a friendly smile at your girlfriend. “arms up, please!” she lifted her arms at your request, they were twitching a little but it was fine. you carefully but briskly took off her top, following up with her skirt and then undergarments. “can you get into the seat yourself?” you asked her, gesturing to the little bench inside the shower. she pondered for a few moments but ultimately nodded her head and began to lift herself out of her chair. you looked at her in awe, seeing her gain her strength each day always warmed your heart. you clapped your hands and smiled. “amazing! you’re doing so well, dear... I think you’ll be able to take steps soon!” you giggled softly to keep the air light, rolling up your sleeves as you grab the showerhead and turning it on. “Hmm… you think so? thank you, dear…” kirumi smiled softly. even when she felt useless, or feeling low, you always knew how to make her feel supported. she promised to herself that she would be able to walk properly one day for you, so you could walk along the beach together or even be able to walk into your arms like you used to. you hummed gently as you brought the shower head directly over her, the warm water falling over her severely scarred body. her entire body flinched and she felt like she was getting attacked at the moment. when your fingers combed through her sandy-sage locks to run the water through properly she started to relax into your touch. she was so glad that you were here for her, that you were looking after her and giving everything she needed, even if it embarrassed her or made her feel… incomplete. despite everything she’s done, the pain and misery she felt in her heart knowing that what she worked for wasn’t real - she could forget all of that when you were here for her.
you put the shower to the side and squirted kirumi’s favourite shampoo onto your hands. it was lavender scented and it often helped her fall asleep with the smell of her own hair. you massaged it into her scalp and you could see the moment her entire body relaxed and that she was completely at your mercy. it made you smile so much to see her content and not worrying about everything… you pushed her bang out of the way of her eye and slicked her hair back. her eyes opened to look at yours and the slightest tint of red went over her face. you giggled softly at this, leaning down to press a soft kiss against her forehead. “beautiful…” you whispered to her which caused her to blush more. she? beautiful? how can you say that to her face, when you were right there being perfect? “I love you.” she said it so suddenly that it caught herself off guard however she didn’t back down and stared confidently at you. you smiled, heart melting at such a cute confession. tilting your head to the side, you uttered back. “I love you too…”
perhaps, things will be better.
