Same photog as for The Crucible. This is up there with February 11, 2011, as a sign from the universe, I suspect. Thanks, universe.

Book Review

So much of my time has been spent doing research or writing. The latest thing I read was...

Nazi Wives by James Wyllie

For those not in the know, I have been working on an honest to god novel that takes place in Nazi Germany starting in 1942. One of the things that has been difficult has been finding out about the wives/mistresses of some of the higher ups.

The books that were out there are now out of print and are extremely expensive. Stuff I find online doesn't always have a way to verify it either.

The book itself was an interesting read. You can see it happening in your mind's eye. However, I find that the author didn't use the best research information/techniques.

Lina Heydrich (I am picking her because Reinhard and Lina Heydrich are both in this piece I am working on) published a book herself in the 1970s. (It is not in English) A lot of what was in the book was ....lets say .....stretching the truth. The author used her book in his own research and writing.

I had to get the book out of England. It wasn't being sold here in the US. However, Amazon Prime covers the shipping.

Interesting? 4.5 stars

Factual? 3 stars.

One of the very interesting things was supposedly Gerda Bormann (Martin Bormann's wife) wanted polyamory to become legal. She wanted her family and his mistress' family to live together in a big home. She wanted to make sure that the mistress had something like a marriage contract affording her the same rights as Gerda.

So there you go. If you are a history buff, you may find it interesting. I wouldn't trust the information without verification however.

@patanghill17 we need to go kick someone's butt. LIES

Just saw someone on Twitter describe Richard Armitage as “not necessarily very handsome” and I’m like...

I'm from Texas but currently reside south of Hell. No really. There is a Hell, Michigan and I live in Indiana.

I’m curious to know where everyone is from so let’s try and get a thread going! I myself am from Melbourne, Australia, land of the gorgeous Hemsworths! (Fun fact, I’m about 30 mins from the suburb they grew up in) 🙊 Any other Aussie babes around? 😍 Reblog and tell me where you’re all from!

Tagging a few faves and others I’d love to get to know better!

types of healthy coping skills

1. self-soothing

comforting yourself through the 5 senses

Touch: stuffed animals, stress balls, taking a bath, a soft blanket

Hear: music, audio book, guided relaxation

See: snow globe, glitter, calming images, art, anything that pleases you visually 

Taste: tea, mints, gum

Smell: lotion, candles, incense 

2. distraction

removing your focus from the stressor for a period of time

puzzles, art, crafting, reading, movies, gaming, exercise, being social

3. opposite action

doing the opposite of the impulse that aligns with a positive emotion

affirmations, inspiration, lighthearted and encouraging focus

4. emotional awareness

identifying and constructively expressing what you’re feeling

journaling, listing emotions, using a emotional identification chart, drawing, therapy

5. mindfulness

centering and anchoring yourself to the present moment

meditation, guided relaxation, yoga, breathing exercises, candle gazing, going for a walk

6. ask for help

this is important to do when you feel like your coping skills are not enough or they are too negative and detrimental  

therapy is ideal for helping a person create a healthy coping strategy and incorporate it into their life 

*a coping skill is considered healthy if it helps you to deal with stress more positively, does not hinder your progress, and isn’t harmful physically or mentally. A coping skill can become negative when it is used to completely avoid dealing with the stressor.

Yeah totally! 2.Moving around while kissing and stumbling into things...3. Kissing so desperately that their bodies curve into eachother...12. Huskily whispers 'kiss me'. I thought it would be cool in one prompt like Thorin whispers,then they stumble around, then the desperate curving thing, but put a little bit more eloquently 😂.

You lay in your bed, having found a way back through to your world from Middle-earth, where you had been the last few weeks, travelling with Thorin Oakenshield’s Company. The mystery as to how you had wound up there would no doubt never be answered, but you had been granted a way back by a magician that you had spotted out on the road when you fled. 

Every night since coming back and you had cried yourself to sleep, images of Thorin so perfectly preserved in your mind. But your love for him had become so unbearable that fleeing had been the only way of escaping the further torment of seeing him every day, knowing that he would never be yours. 

Tears dripped down your cheeks and you rolled over to face the wall, the pain erupting in your chest. Which was worse? Living without him at all? Or living with him but seeing him in the arms of another? No doubt that would be the case once Erebor was re-claimed; he would take a Queen and begin conceiving heirs to make sure that his lineage endured. 

The last time you had seen Thorin had been when you were in Beorn’s barn. You remembered that night clearly, watching him stand by the window. He had his back to you and he was looking up at the full moon. You had always wondered what he was thinking in those moments. Then you decided to leave. No one would miss you if you crept away, taking the back door out. Surely you would not been seen or really cared for much by the Skinchanger. 

Sleep took you away into a dreamless sleep, a place where you were at peace. There had been no dreams since you returned from Middle-earth. Maybe your subconscious mind was saving you from yet more pain and had pushed away any thoughts of the Dwarf King. 

In the dark a figure was sat down beside you. Unknown to you, his hand rested on your head and his fingers trailed idly through your hair. How could you have not realised that he loved you? All he thought about was you, imagining you sharing in a coronation for both of you where a circlet of precious gems would be placed on your head. 

Your sleep began to become weaker and you ascended back up to the waking world. Something was touching your hand and instantly in your mind, you thought of Thorin’s hand in yours. Was it the remnant of a dream? 

“Thorin,” you whispered, smiling. 

“I’m here, my dearest,” a reply came. 

How could this be possible? You gasped, sitting bolt upright in your bed. “Thorin?” you asked again. 

“Why did you abandon us?” he asked sadly. 

The room was still dark, so you stretched over and turned on your bedside lamp. You sighed at the sight of him. He was the most beautiful man you had ever laid your eyes upon. The sadness in his eyes made a lump rise in your dry throat. Your lips quivered and then your dam broke. You wept. 

“I’m so sorry,” you replied. “I didn’t think you’d care if I left.” 

“Why would you ever think such a thing?” he asked, moving closer so he was resting on the edge of your bed. “You have no idea how dear you are to me. I had to come and find you.” 

You placed your hand against Thorin’s cheek, cupping it. He leaned into it more, kissing your palm. Then he looked at you and moved his head closer, whispering in a deep, husky tone, “Kiss me.” 

Everything snapped. A huge rubber band of self control, love and joy exploded and you threw your arms around him and kissed him. The heat mounted, higher and higher, paired with your groans and pants. Thorin kissed your lips, your cheeks, your neck, every inch of you that he could get to. With a giggle of surprise, he lifted you from the bed and you wrapped your body around him. You needed contact with him. Every part of you curved against him, your chest, hips, legs. It was as if your bodies were truly one, entwined, curved into one solid shape. 

Thorin suddenly stumbled backwards, and knocked your lamp from the beside table. Both of you laughed and you continued kissing, only this time your feet were flat on the floor and your body moved after his. Your bodies were desperate for each other; your back arched and Thorin would arch with you, the two of you synchronised. 

“I love you,” you told him, parting from your kiss for air. 

“And I you, always,” Thorin replied, preceding to begin removing your clothing.

Even if you don’t do it the way the OP spoke about, let me tell you something. If you have a class that you hare a HORRIBLE time with? Take it at a community college. 

My math skills outside of the realm of basic math (addition, division etc) suck. My brain does NOT like algebra and the likes. There was no way I could have passed a regular college math class. 

So, in the summer I took all my math. The community college had a tutoring room. So I could go there and have humans help me (without having to pay for a tutor out of pocket). They also had each chapter in the books on dvd so I could watch it at home and do it step by step. I could rewind and watch it again or if I missed something. 

Also, the class was small (ten of us) so there was room for 1 on 1 help through the instructor. It made my life so much easier. 

HIGH SCHOOLERS ‼️‼️ COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS OKAY!!

Please don’t ever let anyone shame you for attending.
