💫🌟WHAT BLESSINGS ARE COMING YOUR WAY? 💫 timeless pick-a-card reading.

- SIDE NOTE: some days my intuition is craaaazy (today 23.07.2023 is one of those days😂), so I decided to do this very random reading. It may be disorganized and totally not resonating for some, but it may help others, as Im writing all that I get without a clear topic, so enjoyyy!!

Piles:

1->2

3->4

Photos: Magdalena Frackowiak for Harper’s Bazaar USA, september 2009

PILE 1

Okayy so possible blessings coming your way, those who chose pile 1:

Short term luck; possible salary raise/ bonus/ promotion; for some it may be a sum of money you didn’t have to work much for or somebody simply just gave to you, money you won from the lotery or gambling; giveaway wins; finding a banknote on the street; finding lost jewelry/items; for some it may be more sales of your products that certain month if you’re a business owner etc. - the main point is you will get sth bc of luck (money/present/item..), not much hard work.

More $€x, pl€asure, parties, celebrations (carefree times basically) coming your way.

You may go on a holiday where you celebrate sth, have pl€asurable experiences. All this may be after time in which you have been waiting on for a loooong time. Prior to that you may have been « isolating » yourself a bit so you can work on yourself, your mental health, cleanse yourself spiritually from bad energy you’ve had in you from the past & heal from sth.

Tip for this pile: don’t go into excesses; do everything in moderation - drinking,partying, $£x, don’t take unnecessary risks, don’t be greedy or careless with your money; going against that may lead to an unpleasant a-ddiction of some sort.

PILE 2

Hope after tough time. You may get good news about a situation you’ve been worried about; You may find a solution to a problem, the truth about sth which may later lead you to the solution..

Someone might have lied to you/ did you wrong, bc of that you felt like your « life » was falling apart but it was actually a blessing; Learning who was a fake person in your life and who was actually faithful was the blessing;

You will have new beginnings in your life- might be a new job/new relationship/new friends/even new home or area where you live;

some may start new important friendships, change in social circle is sth prominent in this pile; you might feel way more valued and happy in this new social circle;

Some might have found out about infidelities /lots of lies, which may be the reason for all these changes; the situation may look bad at first sight but it will free you from a burden that was never yours ro carry in the first place.

Changes might happen very quickly;

You will get on a new journey to find your true happiness

PILE 3

Okay the first thing I got may not resonate for many but if you’ve been wishing for a child/pregnancy, or to start a family, it may be coming soon.

Those who are not looking to start a family it may mean that you may have some carefree days coming ahead, you will live your life like a baby, without that much responsibilities;

Some may get some sort of inheritance;

Money

Moving to a new house;

A lot of you may cut ties with their past, get rid of their past bad habits, toxic people and situations; you have to leave your past experience behind in order to live your ‘dream’

A dream of yours you tought was impossible to get may come into fruition during this time you’re reading this/near future. You just have to be strong and keep the faith.

Love for many of you!!!!

You may get help from a female figure or your intuition on sth that is bothering you;

PILE 4

Healing;

GOOD HEALTH ( for me that is the biggest blessing that’s why I wrote it in all caps )

Huuuuuuuge changes in your love life!!!! I cannot stress this enough, so many signs here in the cards.

If you’re single, the love interest you meet might be VERY masculine, career oriented, might look cold on the outside (won’t be true when you get to know that person tho, they seem like a sweetheart, u just have to get them out of their shell..); might be a foreigner or you may simply meet them away from home/abroads;

Your « cup » will be overflowing with love and emotions, but you don’t have to lose yourself completely. Boundaries and everything in moderation are important things to have in relationships😄

If you were mistreated in previous relationships - you will get your justice.

Those who are in a relationship might get proposed to or move in together; become official if you haven’t already, sth like that => getting to the next level.

Glow up, confidence boost; end of melancholy;

You will get things you’ve even have not let yourself dream about bc it seemed delusional at the time, what u get will exceed all your expectations;

Off topic but, Pile 4, be careful of envy, gossips&lies. Get rid of your subconcious limitations.

As always, leave a comment if resonated & follow for more.

- La Sirena.💋

probably need to put a spoiler tag but I forgot how since I’m hardly on tumblr but I really need to get this out of my system before I go crazy!

Today I replayed Blood Moon cuz I missed Sergi so much and oh boy do I love the angst that comes with him. The fact that he still thinks we deserve better than what he has to offer is so bittersweet and when we choose to say ‘I’m sorry too’ when he indirectly rejected us and he didn’t fight it all is just adding into that sweetness, sick, addictive fire I crave. Like I always imagine even after we tryna pursue them and he said ‘we can’t’ my MC finally gave up, found a new mate, still couldn’t get over Sergi and tryna make him jealous by constantly being around other mating options. And has this little continuation, sorta-groveling second chance saga in my head where Sergi is the alpha without mate and the MC still (not so) secretly pining and making him jealous… barb!! What did you do to me! (Do you know how hard it is to roam around my kindle to find exactly just THAT, the alpha, the lonewolf, mutual pining during mating season, the push and pull… oh god, I think you kinda awoken sth in me other novelists barely manage to do by creating Sergi and his kind and cute and sorry ass Wolf. He’s perfect. And you’re right, he’s so fcking beautiful but obtuse in the worst (best and delicious) timing!!!

Thicker Than is amazing and I love Chris route so much (yea cuz, yknow? The angst of real second chance trope. You’ve done it again.) I also have another save in Minjo route just so we can catch a whisk of Sergi and my MC so I can imagine their pining gazes in my head. Right. Now that I let all of this out of my head. I will be roaming around my kindle for awhile cuz you left me so thirsty with all these ‘after’ potentials. I hate you sm barb (I love you sm keep doing what ur doing!!)

No words. I'm so thrilled you've enjoyed my silly, wee werewolves so much. I'm going to go have a happiness cry now. 💙

Hi! Could I please request sick reader x Scarlett where R passes out from heat/exhaustion/whatever and Scarlett panics a little/ takes care of us until we come to? Maybe on set for a movie or sth? Just soft soft wife Scarlett please. Thank you so so much!

Way Too Warm

〚 Notes - Hey, hey, hopefully you’re having a great day. I’ve never really written for heat exhasution so this is new leaf for me, no promises of how medically accurate things are :P Anyways! Enjoy :D 〛

〚 Summary - Filming in the summer had its drawbacks. Especially when they came in the form of a rather unpleasant bout of heat exhaustion. But theres no way Scarlett is going to let you go through it alone. 〛

〚 Wordcount - 1312 〛

〘 Check Out My Masterlist! 〙

╚════════ ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ ════════╝

The harsh heat from the sun beat down against you. It beat against everything really. Whilst filming in the summer was great, it really did have its drawbacks, especially when you had to film outside. One being the intense temperatures which you’d have to work in and today was no different.

Temperatures had reached an all-time high and if you were being honest, it had started to affect you. It had begun when you’d failed yet again to a decent night sleep. You’d hardly slept, mainly because of the sheer stuffiness of your trailer, another negative effect of the intense heat. The feeling of fatigue had gradually washed over you and before long you’d felt a headache begin to settle behind your eyes.

By some miracle, you’d managed to somewhat cover up how you felt, shrugging off your costars concerns, and everything had gone pretty smoothly too so far but as fate had it, that didn’t last long.

By the time lunchtime rolled around you felt awful, you could hardly keep yourself awake not to mention the thick cloud of fog which had taken refuge in your head. It felt like everything around you was being filtered through a sheet of cotton.

Looking down at your schedule, you saw that it was time to film your scenes with Scarlett. This was always your favourite part of the day. Scarlett was on the team of producers along with being one of your co-stars which meant during her work-hours were hectic meaning you only really saw her if you were filming together. Of course, you’d still see her after the day had finished, you did share a trailer afterall but it was always great to see her during the day too. So, you took a deep breath, readied yourself and stumbled down to set.

“Hi, my love,” Scarlett smiled wide when you finally made it onto set. It turns out walking is alot harder when your view of the world feels like it’s spinning around at 90mp/h, “You okay?” She asked, noticing your spaced gaze.

“Im fine.” You fibbed, waving off her concerns. You could tell she didn’t quite believe you but at that moment your director called for everyone to get into positions, so she had no choice but to drop it.

What happened next, in your mind, was nothing short of embarrassing. Scarlett gave her line perfectly but when it came to you… nothing? Your mind went blank, completely and utterly blank so instead of speaking, you just stood there awkwardly, looking off at some distant point.

“Cut! Y/N, what was that? Is everything alright?” The loud voice of your director snapped you out of your haze.

“Im sorry! My mind just went blank.” You apologised before getting back into your position, airily mindful of Scarlett’s eyes as she looked over you with an expression you couldn’t quite recognise. Was it worry?

"Just give me a minute."

You took a deep breath weary of Scarlet's eyes follow you, and not just her eyes. Her whole body seems to pivot toward you but still, she only watched as the both of you got back into your original positions.

"Action!" Your director shouted again.

You tried. You really did try. But that pain gnawing at your temples began too much, the world spun. it became hard to process what was going on around you and you found yourself tongue tied yet again.

Scarlett tried to cover for your mistake, inventing another line for her character. However, your director appears to be tired of your antics and calls out the command once again, "Cut. Y/N, I don't know what's going on with you today but if you're going to waste my time you can head back to your trailer."

Scarlett shot him a look that you’d hate to be on the receiving end of. You took a step forward as you began to stammer another apology, but a wave of nausea came over you, causing you to stop and cup your arm around your stomach as you winced.

The next thing you knew, your peripheral vision went black as your knees buckled, giving out beneath you sending you dropping to the floor with a thud.

“Y/N!” Scarlett shouted as she rushed over towards you, kneeling beside you in an instant, “Fuck. Are you okay?”

Your head felt unimaginably heavy as you struggled to fight against the urge to close your eyes. Barely registering Scarlett’s touch as her worried hands cupped your faces. But your efforts were in vain as only moments later, your vision swayed and dimmed as you inevitably blacked out.

You weren’t sure how long you were out. The next time you opened your eyes, your head was resting in Scarlett lap as she cradled you, quietly whispering words you couldn’t quite hear.

You made a noise of discomfort and confusion as you slowly came round, “Mm.”

“Jesus Christ Y/N, you almost gave me a heart attack.” Scarlett breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she helped you move up into a sitting position. She kept her arm around your shoulder to support you, but it was as her arm touched your exposed skin that she noticed the intense heat coming radiating from you. Prompting her to place her palm over your forehead.

“You’re way way too warm sweetheart,” Scarlett voiced as she kept her cool hand pressed against your forehead, calling over for the on-set medic so he could take a look at you now that you’d come too.

Ignoring your protests, the medic came over and knelt down with the two of you, he handed Scarlett cool, damp cloth which she used to gently dap along your forehead whilst making sure to keep her hand clasped around your own as the medic started his observation, looking over you with an unreadable expression.

“Headache?” He inquired.

You nodded.

“Fatigued?”

You nodded again.

“Have you been feeling nauseous at all?” He asked as he reached into his bag, rooting over before pulling out a thermometer.

“A little.” You admitted, not missing the small worried glance Scarlett gave you hearing your answer.

The medic hummed as he held his thermometer to your head. It was the fancy kind which required no actual contact for it work. Seconds later it beeped, the small digital screen gave off an orange light as it displayed the numbers ‘38.7’.

“You’re running a fever. A pretty high one at that, combined with your other symptoms I think it's safe to say that you’re experiencing heat exhaustion.” He announced before standing up, “you shouldn’t work for the next day or so, not until this heat dies down a little. Try your best to keep cool and your symptoms should slowly go away too.”

“Thanks.” You gave a weak smile as the medic left to go and sort out some paperwork and you slowly began to pull yourself up.

“Easy there,” Scarlett soothed as she helped you stand, “I guess we better get you back to the trailer, you should’ve said you weren’t feeling well. Heat exhaustion isn’t a joke y’know.”

“I know, Im sorry.” You sighed, taking Scarlett’s hand in your own, “I didn’t think it was that bad.”

“It's alright, let’s just get you cooled off, a cold shower should make you feel better too.” Scarlett smiled as she began to lead you away from the set, “you’ll be okay, is there anything else I can do to make you feel better sweetie?”

You shrugged, ignoring your discomfort as the hot sun shined down onto you, magnifying your nausea, “I just need to cool off,” You tried to sound assuring, giving a soft smile as the pair of you continued towards your trailer, “Thanks for taking care of me.”

“Of course, now, let's get you inside.” She smiled as you approached your trailer, “I promise you’ll start feeling better soon.”

Can I have a Nezha x reader where reader is just exhausted from the days work and just wants to rest while hugging their friend (who also needs to take a break)

Of course, dearly anonymous! Nezha is honestly the perfect teddy bear substitute lmao

Roughly 1.2k oneshot, hope you enjoy!

P.S. - I recommend listening to The Loser by Zach Farache while reading. Like a slowed version or sth <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEZHA X READER

Lego Monkie Kid

Context: You return one day from work just - exhausted, to say the least. And Nezha, having crashed at your place aver Lady Bone Demon's defeat, is more than willing to do nothing with you.

TW: None. FLUFF

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

"Uuurgghhh . . ."

You park the car and lean back in your seat, utterly fed up with the long shifts your manager puts you on. It's been days and your schedule hasn't changed.

Strictly speaking, you haven't gotten a proper day off in a week.

With aching feet and legs, you hop out of your vehicle (almost forgetting to lock it), and head for the front door of your home. It's not much, and your new roommate Nezha has made it clear that you're terrible at keeping it clean.

Yes. The Third Lotus Prince.

After defeating Lady Bone Demon but failing the one job he had, the lotus prince has decided to lay low until news comes.

Honestly, you don't know what kind of news he's looking for, but you were happy to host him in your humble abode. Funny, even after losing his position, he'd still be working tirelessly.

Seems like the dude is getting about as much sleep as you.

Besides, he's found it necessary to perform a daily cleanse of the surrounding dark energy. The first time you witnessed the glowing pink petals flowing gently throughout your house without the hint of a breeze was amazing. You were struck dumb with awe and fascination, but made sure not to bother Nezha's meditation session. Sometimes you'd even attempt to join him. You know he appreciates it whenever you do; he's almost touched at your attempts.

Lately, though, you've been working constantly. It's getting tedious and tiring.

Huffing, you close the front door behind you.

"I'm home. . . ."

Silence.

You expect as much, considering the time and the fact that you encouraged Nezha to get some sleep today (for the longest time, he'd been substituting it for meditation in order to guard the map 24/7. Obviously, there's no need for that now, but it's become a bad habit).

With a sigh, you drop your stuff on the counter, going to get yourself a cup of water.

Soft footsteps reach your ears. "(Y/N)?"

Nezha's in the kitchen, brewing some tea. And it's astonishing.

He'd approached you when he heard your voice, but seems surprised to see you in front of him, eyes wide.

"Wha- Shouldn't you be asleep??" You whisper/yell, then let out a huge yawn. Afterwards, you check the time. "It's . . . it's two in the morning."

The Third Lotus Prince glances sideways. "I decided to wait for you."

"Couldn't sleep?" You guess.

When you side-step him and cross the kitchen to the cabinets in search of a water glass, Nezha sighs. "I suppose that's part of the reason why."

You hum tiredly, eyes hooded. "Well . . . at least I don't have to feel bad for waking you up."

"Of course not," Nezha agrees softly, eyes downcast.

You notice then, the bags under his eyes, the awkward yet exhausted way he holds himself. Clearly, he's as burnt out as you. Taking a long sip of water to think about your next course of action, your eyes fall on his arms. Strong, warm, firm . . . you've been in them before and have longed for that feeling ever since.

Right now, the thought is hard to ignore.

The Prince's eyes dart up. "So . . . how was work, then?"

"Fine, thanks. . . ."

You pause, frowning slightly at him. He simple tilts his head in return. "You're, ah . . . staring. Something on your mind?"

Biting your lip, you think about it.

Right now, you're tired.

So tired, you're unafraid of the consequences of your next words.

"Can I . . ."

No.

Maybe there is a part of you that's aware and active. Swallowing, you search for a better way to ask your question. Honestly, you're too tired to even feel anxiety.

"Would you mind if I hugged you? . . . Right now?"

Nezha blinks, eyes slightly widening. But not to an extensive degree, no; that takes too much energy.

He suddenly smiles tiredly.

"All right. C'mere."

With that, he holds his arms out, head tilted slightly to the side as he considers you without really seeing you. Relieved, you take a few steps forward, arms outstretched, and fall into the embrace with your eyes closed. Nezha's hands find your back and one rubs in slow circles, the other tugging your shirt down over your pants. Okay, perhaps he's not so tired as to fail to notice your unpresentable attire.

Whenever you get off work lately, you stop caring about how you look on your way home. So ruffled collars, untucked shirts and mismatched socks galore.

Smiling faintly, you inhale his familiar scent, face buried in the hoodie you'd bought for him.

The stress just dissipates into the air.

". . . Thngks."

"Hmm?" Nezha prompts, leaning against the counter. "I didn't catch that."

Internally eye-rolling, you scoff. "Thanks, dork."

"You're welcome-" A huge yawn interrupts whatever Nezha was going to say. When he finishes, he taps your shoulder thoughtfully. "I think the couch would be more comfortable. Should we migrate?

"Mm."

"You're . . . not going to move, are you."

The smile works its way onto your face despite the exhaustion. You've all but melted in the Prince's arms. " . . . Nah."

He sighs in slight exasperation.

"Carry me?" You offer, eyes still closed. The idea in itself sounds wonderful; who wouldn't love a break from using their feet for once. But Nezha's tired, so you make sire to add; "Please . . ?"

A pause.

Fair enough. He deserves some time to consider the strain of carrying you.

Nezha is a deity, though.

You're positive he could carry you times 50.

After a moment, Nezha exhales softly in defeat. "All right," he says, bending his knees. His arms slide down to hook under your rear and you're suddenly hoisted into the air. Instinctively, you wrap your legs around his torso, arms slung lazily over his shoulders with your face still half-buried in the Prince's hoodie.

You smile tiredly, eyes closed. The energy to open them is too costly.

"Everything okay?" Nezha murmurs, heading for the couch.

"Mm."

When you arrive, he doesn't set you down. Rather, the Lotus Prince seats himself on the couch, making sure your legs won't get trapped behind, and proceeds to sink back into the cushions.

You take this as a sign to get comfortable. But first, you sit back and rub your eyes 'cause they're being bothersome.

Cracking them open, you blink slowly at Nezha.

"Can I sleep here . . ?"

The Prince yawns, eyes half-lidded with sleep. "Yes . . . one moment, okay?"

"Okay. . . ."

You scootch off him when he shifts, propping a pillow against the armrest and laying down. Head on the pillow, he extends one arm and beckons you over.

"You wanted to cuddle, correct-"

A noise of surprise escapes Nezha when you suddenly fall forward, albeit slowly, and promptly lay with your head on his chest.

A sigh of relief leaves you.

Nezha hums at your performance, one arm behind his head while the other goes to mess with your hair or the hem of your sleeve. It's lulling, and you close your eyes as the feeling of safety engulfs you. Here, there's not a threat in the world. You're safe, comfy, and warm, and wouldn't trade this for the world.

Work was exhausting, but coming home to this makes it all worthwhile.

"Goodnight, (Y/N)," Nezha murmurs, gazing at the ceiling for a moment. Then he, too shuts his eyes and allows sleep to claim his soul.

You don't reply, already fast asleep.

#lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk nezha #nezha x reader #fluff #tooth-rotting fluff #there's so much fluff I was smiling so hard writing this at 1am #Nezha is a teddy bear confirmed #he'd cuddle for hours #here's yo proof #oneshot #lego monkie kid nezha #thanks for the ask!

hey I saw your posts about your parents, how are you doing? Have you calmed down a bit? Its really scary to lose the only place you feel understood I'm so sad that this is happening to you :'(

there is supposed to be a setting here that disables your account from being found on google search I think, I activated it a month ago bc my roommate noticed I had tumblr n I didnt wanna risk her finding it. The email thing is more usefull but you can never take too many precautions ig.

Okay I looked it up and its through account -> blog settings -> visibility, hope it helpes a little

Remember to drink water and sleep earlier today to feel ready for tomorrow (idk if that makes sense but trying to hide sth or putting on a mask takes energy and smart planning for me, I might be paranoid, so make sure you're charged up!!) You can do this, we're here for you!! Also I can give you my email if you want, in the future incase you cant log into tumblr for any reason you can still reach to me through there.

Good luck, love you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hi yeah im doing not great tbh and i have calmed down a bit but im still very shaky and stuff and yes it is very scary

ah yes i did that after and disconnected it so it is off now and yeah i agree its better to take more

it does help thank you<3

ah yeah i got a headache from crying so much lol so im drinking a lot of water and i'll probably sleep earlier(also dw it does make sense and i will try to be charged up)

thank you for being here for me that means a lot

that would be useful especially since i made a new email today so that my parents dont know about it so i could still reach you from there as long as you dont mind giving me it but only if you are comfortable

thank you ily too <3

Billy: Charlie?!

Edward: *puffs into Vicarstown Yards* Billy wait, you need me to- Oh, you brought Dennis here

Charlie: Oh hi Eddie, have you met my brother?

Edward: Yes, I was showing Billy around the island, but I guess I came off too bossy for him, and for that, I’m sorry Billy

Billy: All is forgiven Edward!

Edward: *looked at Charlie and at Billy* Hmmm, since Charlie is a shunter for Vicarstown, how about you become a shunter for Knapford, Billy?

Billy: I, I like that idea!

Edward: Then it’s settled then, welcome to Sodor, Billy!

Edward, Billy, Charlie, Murdoch, Dennis, and Flora all chuckle as Edward, Billy, Charlie, and Murdoch blew their whistles and Flora rang her bell as Steam Clouds rolled in

Story End

hiii hiii i am back (on my searching for opla oc crumbs voyage bc my exam-taking ass needs to live through y’all rn), and again i would like to screech abt Sun bc umm?? how could you give her so much pain?? also i need to know more abt her power?? like what does the sairen sairen no mi do and is it the fruit that gave Sun her full name or is it just a coincidence since it sounds very much like siren (if that was intentional i would like to steal your brain for naming oc purposes thank you /j); pls and thank you and i hope you feel better soon!! (if you’re still feeling under the weather that is..?)

Oh babe you can come here for crumbs anytime, it be keeping the hyperfixation going 🤩

I hope you're doing well aside from the exam taking. I'm actually alright, even though rn I am feeling more under the uterus than the weather 😂

Let's preface today's deep dive by me reassuring you that you do not - not - wanna be me when it comes to naming OCs. Literally, for like the first week her name was "either Lya or Sun", followed by a few days of her being "probably Sun but WHAT THE FUCK AM I GONNA DO ABOUT HER LAST NAME???" 🤣

And THEN as I proceeded to look for her special power was when it all came together -

I knew I didn't want to give her a Haki (mostly because she is a Shanks!OC and he already is The Conquerer's Haki Dude), so devil fruit it was. I spent a day or so going up and down and back up the list of known devil fruits and didn't find a single one that tickled my pickle. But - like so many times over the past weeks - it was @bravelittleflower to the rescue, because she pointed me to the mythical zoan devil fruits who basically turn people who eat them into mythical creatures and I decided that "fuck it, Imma just make my own"

By that time I had already gotten it in my head that I wanted "Lya or Sun Whatever-The-Hell-her-name-is" to be a more feminine, sensual character (maybe because Nami, at least in the beginning, was a little too Not Like The Other Girls for my taste ^^'), so sth of the nymph/dryad/mermaid/siren variety seemed like an obvious choice.

Google translate told me the Japanese word for siren was "sairen", making her fruit the Sairen Sairen No Mi and my brain just took the jump from there to "Sun the Siren / Sairen Sun" and since I still hadn't found a last name I liked, I thought a moniker that was actually given to her in the brothel at Shells Town would be a great place holder. It also makes for a pretty great pirate name tbh. ^^

(she has a last name btw, a last name we will learn later on and it comes with ✨drama✨ attached)

When we start the story, Sun doesn't know who gave her the fruit and she isn't really all that clear on the true magnitude of her powers. When we meet her, she simply has to touch men (and probably some women, too 😏) and tell them what she wants them to do.

(that did come in handy when teenage!Sun was looking to avoid chores at the bar or when harbour whore Sun left the less savory clients with the distinct impression that putting their hands on themselves rather than her would be the height of extasy 😈)

Her power doesn't work in active fight situations, which is why she is also able to hold her own with knives (although Zoro sees a lot of room for improvement and - much to Sanji's dismay - takes it upon himself to train her xD).

Maybe it's also her power that makes it easy for her to make friendships (one of the reasons Nami doesn’t like her at first is a kind of envy at how easy it is for Sun to fit in with this new group of people while she has to keep her distance). It could be that it makes people more open to her, but it's actually sth that makes her less self assured rather than more, because there is always that little bit of doubt about wether people care about her or if it's just her power at play.

I am also looking to expand on her powers as the story progresses (one version of the "Sun and Shanks reunite" ideas especially has great potential for Shanks trying to teach her to really tap into her ability).

"And how exactly do I do that?" - "You use it on me." ��

#sairen sun #sun the siren #bring me the horizon #my ocs #reply #THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ❤️❤️❤️

write the himeno meta because i love her! she’s not this evil spawn that people have interpreted her to be and everyone looks very surface level when it comes to her!

istg anon ppl are trying so hard to make her this absolute villain for no reason.

I wasn't gonna vent here today but u just made it easy for me anon so buckle up ~

i literally just opened the app after seeing an aki edit on tiktok where they used the scene of division 4's first appearance from yesterday and just.... censored himeno out like... bffr

i feel like im recycling the same words through all my himeno posts but the answer is literally so simple that i don't need new arguments. ppl not liking her for what happened with denji is valid. she WAS drunk but she was also the adult in the room and i can't defend her for that.

(with that ofc not being a reason to completely disregard her storyline, what she represents and the impact she has on aki and HIS storyline like *cough* some ppl)

and here's the thing. every fucking himeno hate post ive seen has always found a way to bring aki into it. calling their bond grooming, pulling facts out of their ass about how himeno watched him grow up, saying there's nothing to their relationship bc himeno liked him for his looks. denji is barely even mentioned. again. bffr.

these ppl choose to forget everything that happened in the katana man arc. they brush off the entire easy revenge part. himeno's thoughts while she was sacrificing herself for aki. there's sm more to her and its frustrating to see her reduced to being a "predator".

also what pains me is that the captains of the himeno hate ship are akiangel shippers. which i dont get. i love akiangel. himeno was never a threat to them. i dont get why aki being shipped with a woman hurts ppl sm. sth tells me these ppl haven't rly interpreted akiangel's bond correctly either, beyond the "cute mlm ship where one's out of touch and one's out of time"

but that's not my place to judge ig.

personally aki and himeno's bond is one of my favorite parts in chainsaw man and im excited to see how the anime interprets it and whether they'll lean more into the more than platonic subtext of it or not. either way i cant wait to see their scenes animated.

(and im dreading the wave of hate that will come after the drunk himeno episode, but it is what it is)

雪中送炭

大家好！

Hello everyone! I have long been interested in 成语 and now that I have been duolingoing for just over 500 days (and completed almost all of unit 3), my darling partner found me some really cute children’s books telling the stories behind several of these Chinese idioms! I have now read two and my vocab is definitely only about 50% max so there’s lots of new words. I plan to try to make a post for each one of these I read to provide a short summary and the vocab that I picked up from each story. Hoping to keep a pace of about one in-depth read per week. So, let’s begin!

Today I will be talking about 雪中送炭 (xuězhōng sòngtàn), literally “in snow, send coal”, meaning "to provide help in someone’s hour of need”. This is a story about a newly minted emperor in the Song dynasty. He lives a frugal and virtuous lifestyle, as exemplified by three short stories. In the first, he is walking by a roadside garden where he finds a man being beaten for gifting a dead flower to the kingdom. He quickly stops this and orders his subjects to never beat others again for such trivial things. In the second, he wants a specific cool drink (冰镇的酸梅汤, literally “cold sour plum soup”) on a hot day. However, he refuses to order it from his servants, as he knows the palace does not have the ingredients and it would cause undue hardship to them. Finally, during a deep winter chill, he finds that his fox fur coat is not enough to keep him warm outside, so he retreats indoors to relax near a flame and with some hot liquor to drink. Thinking of the poor people in his kingdom, he realizes they must be very cold, so he quickly orders his guards to prepare some meals and charcoal to distribute to throughout the kingdom. They do this immediately, and the people are grateful. Thus, we have the phrase 雪中送炭! It’s good to help others in hard times, especially if you have the extra resources to share!

I hope you enjoyed the story! Now let’s get into the vocab. This time will probably be very long, but hopefully these will get shorter with time. In general I will try to store primarily the definition in the context of the story, then repeat characters later as I find they are being used in new ways! Hopefully this way I’ll mostly learn more common uses first.

Happy birthday to Spike Feeder (STH), who's turning 26 years old today! What a throwback! Spikes were a whole subtheme in Tempest block and then disappeared off the face of Magic until this little guy found his way onto the Time Spiral bonus sheet, along with a new friend, Spike Tiller. I wonder if we'll ever get a new Spike again.

orders (for ........... whoever might directly order him to do sth kdjflskdgjlskj)

All he’d wanted was a coffee.

Clint had been in the area (technically, a state or two away, but TK didn’t need to know that), so he’d swung by Austin, managed to snag TK on a day off. As they walked to a local coffee shop, Clint let TK’s voice wash over him, filling him in on the latest news about the 126, pointing out meaningful (to TK) buildings as they passed. He wasn’t talking about anything world-shatteringly important, but they were things that mattered to him, so despite how exhausted he felt, Clint made sure he actually listened and engaged.

A woman was pointed out just before she slipped inside the bank they were coming up on. Nancy, Clint learned. The Nancy of the 126. TK grinned, looked over at him. “She actually—”

Clint never did find out what she actually.

Rapid gunfire—automatic weapons, by the sounds of it—and screaming sounded from inside the bank and both men stiffened. A bank robbery hadn’t been on Clint’s bingo card of what he thought he’d have to deal with, today, but the universe just loved to surprise him, didn’t it? “Nancy!” TK barely made it a single step forward before Clint had a tight grip (unrelenting), on his arm. He wasn’t sure if the movement had been reflexive, or if TK was actually about to go running in, but either way, Clint was stepping into his path, placing himself between TK and the bank.

“Don’t.” It came out sharper than he intended, but Clint wasn’t about to take it back. Nancy was part of the 126. She was TK’s family. TK’s family was currently in danger. Clint didn’t have to be a genius to connect those dots. “Stay here. Call the cops.” Not a request (he was using his authoritative voice, the one he used when he pulled rank on lower level SHIELD agents). “Don’t do anything stupid.” He really hoped it wouldn’t come down to a fight, really hoped TK would keep his head on straight, here, and listen to logic over his emotions.

Any sign of Clint’s relaxed, easy-going attitude was gone. In its place was a seriousness that TK would have only seen once, back when he’d first found out about Clint being an Avenger. A bank robbery might not be the sort of thing Hawkeye usually dealt with, but he would take it as seriously as he would a mission, all the same. He pulled out his phone, hit speed dial number four (numbers one, two, and three belonged to Natasha, Coulson, and Kate, respectively). It rang only once.

“Agent Barton. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“JARVIS, I need floorplans and surveillance footage for VeraBank on 6th street in Austin. Quick as you can. Send them to my phone.”

@parameddic (x)

#parameddic #✦ ic: clint barton #✦ verse: main (clint barton)#✦ meme reply: clint barton #tw: gun violence #why yes i did look up a real bank in austin for this #idk but it would take something real serious for clint to actually give tk an order #like 'worried he's potentially about to get himself killed' serious
