Ive seen isopod advice scattered across the internet that you shouldnt feed them fruit clippings often or at all, and that veggie clippings are the better go-to if you want to give them supplemental snacks. But they dont often explain why.
Is this a health thing, that fruit isnt great for them to be eating frequently? Or is this more a tank cleanliness thing, that fruit makes for a worse rot scenario if they dont eat the whole thing fast enough?
my isopods do not seem to prioritize sugary, wet foods, and instead really like crunchy stuff like carrots, squashes, and broccoli stems. that isn’t to say they won’t eat fruit but rather because they eat less of it and it is a better medium for microbes it tends to mold over and rot very quickly, while a carrot often stays edible until it’s completely eaten.
I also think this may have something to do to with the way isopods process watery foods; they excrete the excess water while retaining the fiber and nutrients, so a soupy wet food might be too costly to process or just inefficient compared to a drier crunchy carrot.
I don’t think it’d be a health issue to feed fruit frequently other than the rotting aspect. isopods are good at eating what they need; a culture that’s low on protein will skip over the veg and prioritize dog food while a culture that is low on vitamins might go for the carrot instead.
my isopods enjoy fruits like melon, apple, blueberries (and culinary vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes and peppers) but tend to not eat things like peach pits and banana before it rots. I think I can meet all their nutritional needs with hardy vegetables, leaf litter, and fish foods without needing to offer fruit on a regular basis, but if you can predict how much your colony will eat and are prepared to throw it out before it makes a mess there’s no reason why you shouldnt feed fruit

i feel so in limbo right now idk how else to describe it. my online class for the summer started, its a foreign language and its a heavy ass workload and we meet 3 nights a week for 3 hours, and im of course studying and doing assignments outside of that. im exhausted to say the least but i also really love it. but it makes it harder to starve myself or work out. i used to go on walks a lot but now when i have a bit of free time im just worn out from everything else and want to do nothing. and im definitely not overeating or bingeing which is good but i also am not restricting as well as i know i can because i like,, cant afford to not have the energy to focus yknow? one thing about me, i may take hurting myself seriously but i also like taking my studies seriously. and both are very precarious things, its kinda like lighting in a bottle when either of those are going well and i never wanna do anything to fuck it up. so i dont wanna risk fucking up my studies after how much work i put into them. but i also know i want lose weight like this. i wont gain either, at least i shouldnt, but im feeling more and more uncomfortable in my body and weight every day so i might as well be gaining thats what it feels like. 
i dont know, i havent weighed myself in a couple days so.. maybe thatll be a pick-me-up tomorrow morning? maybe ive continued losing the past couple days and not just maintained like im expecting? please universe? wouldnt that be nice. 
if ive maintained or gained... i dont even know. thats the limbo feeling im talking about. or maybe just dissociation. i dont want to be devastated by it, i dont want to be distracted by it and lose my focus on school, i dont want to hate myself, so when its not going well i just go numb instead. its a mix of dread and numbness, like im just barely stopping myself from losing myself over it. 
i just feel so disgusted by myself. why cant i ever have both? its always either i feel good about my body and eating (when im starving and being super disordered but in control) but the rest of my life is in shambles, or im finally doing well with the rest of my life but i can never fully feel happy because i still fucking hate my body and feel so much guilt and dread around eating. why cant i ever just be okay. why do i always have to choose one over the other. im so sick of it. 
but ill keep trying. i havent had much today, like a bowl of cheerios and then cheese and crackers, but also both of those things were def more calories than i wanted them to be, and i still have dinner left. (i cant skip it when im at home its too obvious). so idk maybe itll be fine. i know logically im not over eating, im not an unhealthy eater, and yet everything i put in my body feels like im a failure and like im never gonna feel okay in my body. its so exhausting. 
anyway. i have work to do.

Baldwins secret - part 29
Sienna almost dropped her daughter and shit herself at the sight of five vampires at her door "are you all here to kill me" she squeaked
Agusta smiled, but it was all teeth and didnt make her feel any better "no just to talk, may we come in"
By far the happiest was Penelope, she loved attention "YOU CAN ALL HELP ME BAKE COOKIES" she squealed, riggling out of her mothers grip and pounded off to the kitchen
Sienna stepped aside anxiously following the gaggle of daughters to her death
"Shes cute" Boudicca scooped up Penelope "whats your name little lady"
"Penelope" she grinned, all dimples and gums "but mummy calls me Nelly Belly you can too if you help me make cookies"
"Are you negotiating with me?" Boudicca raised her brow
"Sorry, Penelope stop this is not the time for cookies" Sienna hissed "Go find Nanny"
She pouted "But Nanna always says baking fixes everything and everyone looks unhappy"
"Tell you what Penelope, if you go and find your Nanna i promise after we talk with Sienna we will bake cookies, hmm?" Boudicca bargained
She furrowed her brows considering her options then shimmied out of her grip "OKAY" she bounded off out of the kitchen, shouting for her Nanna.
"Did your father send you? Because i swear to God i told him to leave me alone" if she wasnt already fuming, she most deffinitely was going to make a vodoo doll now.
"No, he doesn't know we are here. We came to talk to you" Augusta explained, but that left Sienna more confused "i know, hell we all know my father can be a giant asshole but he does genuinly care about you. If he didnt, he would of introduced you to us sooner"
"What do you mean?" She flicked the kettle on out of habit, because everyone knew tea made things better not baking
"Usually when hes got a woman dangling off his arm he flaunts her around. They are usually the bimbo types, after his ample assets" Flo gagged at her sisters crude joke "oh come on, theres only two things that women are attracted to with him, money and dick"
Flo looked like she was about to puke and Sienna blushed "thats not all he is" Sienna sighed. She missed him, a big hole had been left in her life but that was beside the point "it doesnt matter, i appreciate you all coming but he broke my trust"
"Look, i appreciate you trying to defend Jack i really do but what did you expect?" Augusta questioned "hes a 2000 year old single father. When it comes to us he doesnt measure his temper all the gloves are off. What counts, what matters is how he tries to put things right and hes spent the past days sucking up to Jack. Even bought him an art studio in New York"
Fabiana titled her head onto Keiko's shoulder "he tried to Kill Keiko when he caught us together if that is any consolation. We woke in bed with his knife at her throat. He also tore through Boudiccas village when she took up with hers. I expect Flo's mate, whoever that may be, will get the same treatment"
"It shouldnt be like that, it makes him a hypercrite" Sienna argued "i always knew he was capable of violence its Baldwin de Clermont for Christ sake but thats his nephew, Jacks a sweetheart he should of thought better. It was like there was nothing between his ears"
"I think he was on edge because you was there. Perhaps if you werent, he might not of been so aggressive" Augusta battled with the idea of telling her everything, the fight between keeping a vampires secret and wanting her father to be happy was a difficult balance "theres things you dont know, thats not our place to tell you but i really think you should hear him out. Please?"
"Ill think about it" she didnt want to talk to him, or face him. She knew if she heard that fucking voice, saw those bastard eyes it would all be over and she would crumble "so, do any of you drink coffee? This is my mothers summer house and shes a witch so no blood im afraid"
"Well you have beating veins right?" Fabiana grinned wickedly
"You drink my blood and you will see your father folding me in half like a pretzel, you want that image in your mind?" She joked, hopeful they would laugh and not stab her like Caesar
"I think im gonna be sick" she cried out "Kiki make her apologies"
She smiled, pecking her lips softly "you reap what you sow, dove"
"Right" Boudicca clapped her hands together "i have cookies to bake"
Penelope came skipping back in after having deffinitely not eavesdropped on the conversation "Does this mean i get to go with Baldwin to the Swan Lake?" She asked in a sickly sweet, sing song voice. She was devostated when her mummy annouced they had split, she loved going to shows with him
"I dont know, we will see" Sienna ruffled her hair "You are such a little terror do you know that Nelly Belly?"
She hopped up onto the counter getting the recipe book down "but im your terror" she batted her lashes "we bake now?"
Boudicca nodded "lets"

The diary || part 2 ||
Tom Riddle x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
Blood POV
Its been what 3 days since the incident with tom riddles diary.
Me and (M/F/N) are still a lil confused but mostly scared. OF COURSE WE WOULD BE SCARED !!! Just having a nice day and then it ending with something scary like this.
Havent touched the diary since. Maybe just maybe i should. I sat up from the couch and went upstairs to my room, looking for the diary.
'Where is it. I left it here somewhere' i thought to myself.
''Looking for this ?'' a voice said behind me. I turned around quickly to find the one and only Tom Riddle, holding the diary.
I am shocked to say the least. How did he get here ? Wasnt he like i dont know in the diary far far from me ? WASNT HE IN A DIFFERENT FREAKING UNIVERS !?!
For a minute we just stared at each other. I noticed that he was infact wearing normal clothes not some kind of robes. A simple white T-Shirt and black jeans, some dark green converse, And a few rings on his fingers.
"Stop staring"  Tom said in a low voice that just sent chills down my spine. "Now tell me where did you get this dary".
I didnt answer because i was frozen in place. What was i even supposed to say ? Didnt i already tell him i got it at a Harry Potter store ?
'Well he wouldnt exactly know what a Harry Potter store is' i thought to myself.
"Answer me !" His loud booming voice sent me back into reality.
"I already told you" i said with a shaky voice. "But i would love to know how did you get here cause youre just a fictional character in a film." i said very quickly. I didnt know what to do. I never planned for this. No one planned for this.
"Well if im just a fictional character from a film shouldnt you know about how i can get here with  this diary, a horcrux ?" Tom said, slowly walking towards me.
I slowly started shaking. Fearing that he may torture me, or even kill me. Tears started to build up in my eyes as he walked closer until he was in front of me, the look of anger on his face made me want to hideaway in a corner.
When he saw how i was shaking and almost crying his face softened a bit, and he backed away a little. I was confused. When does Tom, the Tom Riddle  care that he is inavding someones personal space.
"I am sorry for the harshnes but i would love to get a proper answer."...did Tom j ust apologize ? i think he did. Omg. That something ne- "And i would want a answer because i cant seem to go back" his voice inturupted me. For a moment we stared at each other again Cant get back ?
"W-what do you mean you cant get back" i stuttered a bit. Still shaken up from the minute before.
"I just cant get back" he simply stated. "Either something has happened to the diary in...my universe or in this universe i have no magic".
I have to call (M/F/N).
-1H time skip-
"So youre telling me, that the Tom Riddle is actually him, from Harry Potter and he cant get back ?" (M/F/N) said still shocked from the news, and from seeing Tom right in front of him.
"Yes. How many times am i going to have to tell you" i said finally calming down.
"I dont get it" my dear friend said.
"I'll have to say, youre friend is quite stupid" Tom said from the chair that he has been sitting in.
"Dont you dare say that about my best friend !" i yelled trowing a pillow at Tom.
"I might not  have magic here but i can still you know, kill you, torture you" he said slowly and darkly while smirking.
"Blood call the police !" (M/F/N) said franticaly.
"We would be long dead and he would already have run away. The police cant do anything." I said while keeping a eye on Riddle. He was still smirking but directly at me. Icould slowly feel a blush creep up my face.
This must be the weirdest day i have ever had.

Idol: Bae Joohyun (Red Velvet)
Request: Yes
Anon: hey there! 😌 can i request a scenario with irene where the fem reader walks into a café irene is in with her members and she's starstruck and can't stop staring but she's too shy at first to make a move and the others start teasing her about it n stuff? 😊
Tumblr media
"What are you going to get?" Seungwan asked while looking at the menu as they waited in line to order. "Unnie, you already know what I want." Yerim replied while shaking her head. "Mine, too." Sooyoung added as she slung her arm across the Canadian's shoulders.
Looking at the older two, Seulgi was already shaking her head. "I'll have what you're having and Irene unnie said she would have the usual." When they confirmed everyone's orders, Joohyun handed the girl her card so that she and Seulgi could go and grab them a table. “Over there, unnie.” The younger girl quickly walked over to the one by the window, a little nearer to the door in case they would have to leave abruptly.
Yerim joined them not too long after and sat down next to Seulgi. “I’m glad we can finally take a break.” The maknae sighed, stretching her arms in front of her before she rested them on the table, making the two chuckle. “It isn’t that long, but I’m glad we can breathe for a while.” Joohyun agreed, taking a glance at the cafe before the bell at the entrance rang, indicating a new customer, and her eyes automatically checked to see if said person would be a problem for them or not.
However, the moment her eyes laid on you while you took off your scarf and coat, she felt her breath catch in her throat and her eyes widened slightly. Her eyes scanned as you ran your fingers through your hair to remove any leaves that may have gotten tangled in them and the simple act made her heart skip a beat.
“Unnie?”
Immediately, Joohyun snapped back to the two who she didn’t realize were talking. They were both looking at her in confusion and she blushed before clearing her throat. “Sorry, I thought I saw something.” She quickly lied and Seulgi furrowed her brows before she leaned back. “Okay. Yeri and I were asking you if you had any plans for after this week. We have free time by then, much longer than this.” She clarified and she stared at their leader, waiting for her answer, only to notice the quick shift of her eyes to the counter.
“Um, not really. I might go home.” She says absentmindedly. “I don’t think they’ll take that long.” Yerim pipes up, catching her staring at the register where the other two were waiting, you standing a few feet away and speaking with the person behind the other counter.
Unaware to the pair, Joohyun was staring at you, watching as you smiled at the cashier while you ordered and then stepped aside to wait. She caught the cute little reaction when you had noticed the two idols before you. It made her smile, seeing the way yours eyes widened and cheeks flushed as Seungwan gave you a friendly smile while Sooyoung waved.
You spoke first, shy. And if her guess was right, you would be asking for a picture or at least a signature. But to her surprise, the three of you just end up speaking, and when they had gotten their orders, the pair gave you a hug before waving goodbye.
Because of her distraction, yet again, Seulgi and Yerim were finally able to understand who exactly their leader really was looking at. Yerim grinned widely at this and Seulgi just smiled while she shook her head. “She’s pretty.” Yerim quipped, her tone teasing. Joohyun nodded quietly before she realized what she had said and her head turned to the two in front of her, only to see them smiling from ear to ear.
“Are you going to talk to her? She looks like she’s a fan.” Seulgi pointed out as the other two came over to them, both smiling as they set the trays down before distributing their orders. “Who was that girl you were talking to?” Joohyun kicked the maknae from under the table, causing her to wince, but it didn’t deter her plans on teasing the eldest.
Sooyoung beamed as she sat next to Joohyun and took a sip of her drink before answering. “Her name is Y/n. She’s a fan.” She answers while Seungwan set the trays aside when she sat down. “She’s really nice!” She added and Yerim giggled as she threw Joohyun a look.
“What did she say?” Seulgi asked curiously, having also seen the interactions among the three and Sooyoung glanced back to see you picking up your own order. “She asked us if we were really from Red Velvet.” She giggle lightly. “And when we said yes, she told us that she was a fan and that we’re doing alright.”
Joohyun listened intently, unaware that she was once again smiling too much than she should. “She didn’t ask for a picture?” Yerim asked, skeptical, and Seungwan shook her head. “I was surprised that she didn’t. She just asked us a few things and started to say thank you.”
“Thank you?” The three echoed and Sooyoung nodded happily. “She was telling us that she really looks up to us and that we were her inspiration and motivation to what she does.”
“Ah! That’s so cute! I wish I could have talked to her, too. Wouldn’t you, unnie?” Joohyun frowned at her members, unimpressed at their teasing. But because of this, it didn’t take long for the other two to catch on to what was happening because Sooyoung was grinning widely, matching her counterpart’s as she leaned closer to the leader. “We can go over and talk to her!” She squealed and Joohyun lightly smacked her shoulder.
“No, we can’t. That’s rude.” She pointed out, her cheeks flaring but Seungwan intervened. “I don’t think it would be. From what she said, I think seeing you would be more than a surprise.” She smirked playfully and Yerim was just about ready to spring out of her seat just to march over, her smirk plastered on her face.
Joohyun shot her a warning look. “She is pretty, though.” Seulgi decided to add, shooting her friend a quick glance before her eyes landed on you again. “If you won’t do something, I might.” Now that earned itself a glare and Joohyun let out a huff before she was standing to her feet.
Her eyes landed on Sooyoung before she gestured for her to get out of her way. “Move.” She muttered, and the younger girl was more than happy to oblige. “Go get her!” She cheered as they watched her walk over to your table.
“Wow, I didn’t think she would really do it.” Yerim muttered with wide eyes, her smile not leaving her face as they kept their eyes on you. “I can’t believe Irene was actually threatened by Seulgi.” Seungwan commented and her best friend reached over to smack her. “Yah!”
Maybe she shouldn’t have let her friends provoke her like that. As soon as she was a foot away, Joohyun wasn’t exactly sure on what to do as she stood there. She could feel her heart thumping against her ribs as she stared at your side profile and she had to swallow before taking one more step for you to notice her.
“Hi.”
Hearing the voice, you looked over curiously, only for your eyes to widen and a squeak left your lips. It was adorable, she thinks while flashing you a smile and then waving her hand.
“Irene! Oh, my god, hello!” You mentally kicked yourself for getting so flustered and looking like an idiot in front of the Bae Joohyun, but there was no changing that now.
She chuckled before gesturing to the seat in front of you. “May I?” You quickly nodded, looking dumbfounded as you stared at the woman who sat across from you. Your heart was racing because there was no way this was real.
Subtly, you pinched your leg from under the table. It hurt.
“I hope I’m not troubling you.” This was definitely real.
You looked at Joohyun while shaking your head, cheeks flushed as you fiddled with your shirt sleeve. “No trouble at all! I’m just... surprised.” You admit shyly before glancing around, noting that there was enough tables for her to take and also recalling that you had met her two other members not too long ago.
Why was she here?
“I know that this is sudden, but Wendy and Joy told me that you’re a fan.” She says and you wait for her to explain further. “And... they happen to insinuate that you would be happy to see me.” She watches your reaction carefully, admiring the way your cheeks turned a rosy shade. “I-I...”
You cleared your throat before awkwardly rubbing your arm. “Yeah. You’re kind of my bias.” You chuckled, making her smile more and nod. “Well, I’m glad to hear that Y/n. I hope you can keep supporting me and the girls.”
She freaking knows your name. You could die right there without regrets, but quickly shake those thoughts away when you flash her a smile that makes her heart stop. “Of course.” You breathed out. “You girls have kept me sane until now. It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t.” You say, laughing a bit, now more relaxed.
Talking with Joohyun was something you did not expect to happen, yet it felt so natural. You were both able to talk about a few other things before you had to leave since you were meeting with some friends.
“Would you mind if we could meet again, next week?” You swear your mind is playing tricks on you. There was no way Joohyun was serious. This had to be some sort of joke.
Looking around, you tried to see if there were any cameras around, but found none. However, you did catch sight some of her members looking at the two of you every now and then after finally locating their whereabouts.
“Are you... sure?” You ask curiously and Joohyun smiles. “Of course.” She then takes her phone from her pocket before handing it to you. “Here, you can put your number in so I can call you.” She says confidently and you could feel yourself blushing again as you shakily punch in your number.
After she took the device back, she grinned at you. “I really hope we can see each other. I enjoyed talking to you.” She states and you watch in awe as she rises and heads back to her friends, leaving you staring after her.
You stare at her for a few more minutes before looking down at your phone as it beeps.
Shouldnt you be going? 
That snapped you back to reality as you stood up and put your coat and scarf back on, passing by the girls’ table and seeing Joohyun give you one more smile before you exited the cafe.
“You actually did it.” Seungwan said, amazed. “She wouldn’t have if Seulgi unnie didn’t scare her.” Yerim playfully rolled her eyes before being shoved by said girl. “I’m very charismatic.” She argues, making Sooyoung shake her head. “You’re too clumsy.”
Joohyun just smiled at her friends and stared at her phone, sending you another text stating to take care, which you responded with the same thing. Her members could be a handful, but they did mean well. 
She made a note to treat them if things went well.

so as someone who has never watched GCW or CZW or seen Nick Gage wrestle, but wants to be prepared for what mayhem may come on Dynamite, would I regret buying the Homecoming Day 1?
maybe. if you're not into deathmatch/hardcore wrestling, it might be A Bit Much to start with. also, gcw shows cost cash monies, as you said. for me? absolutely worth it, the card is absolutely stacked. hell, 2 cold scorpio whoopin ass at 55 years old was worth the price of admission. but if you don't know what you're getting yourself into, it might put you off.
i'd suggest starting easy (and free) with some beyond matches on youtube. beyond wrestling is a great promotion, gage's second home after gcw, they always put on fuckin bangers of shows. and they put out a shitton of free matches on youtube!
youtube
gage vs g-raver, 50,000 thumbtacks match.
a nice, easy appetizer. a good place to dip your toe into the hardcore shit. (i'd also suggest looking into an iwtv sub and finding the 100,000 thumbtack match from halloween 2019 [? i think? i dont have it open in front of me]. nick gage vs mance warner. heckuva time.)
youtube
gage vs addy starr, no dq. we love and support intergender wrestling in this house. if you arent a fan, for personal reasons, skip this one. i get it. if you think it shouldnt exist at all, then we will have words.
anyway, great match. made me fall a little in love with addy, good show all around. (pretty sure that was the same show with chris dickinson vs effy, which isn't related, but i sincerely loved it and recommend that match to anyone who will listen. or, this was the double header with gcw, and that match was on the the show.)
i cant think the gage match will go harder than dr. britt baker d.m.d. vs thunder rosa, or the bunkhouse match, or the first mox vs omega match with the barbed wire web. there *is* a limit to what you can show on cable tv, after all. but if you enjoyed those, there's a good chance you'll end up enjoying homecoming. but, as evidenced above, gage clearly knows what he's doing, too. he can hit whatever level they need him to. hell, go look up ndk (nerder death kill, his tag team with thomas santell--ask me about ndk, i love ndk) matches. he can actually wrestle, too. hell, i like his one winged angel better than kenny's. yeah. i fuckin said it. come at me.
anyway, my point was, its probably not going to end up as violent as we want it to. he can work well within set parameters, ie: tv ratings. he's coming off the b r u t a l match last night. hes been teased for homecoming part 2 tonight. mans gotta be hurting.
but, just in case they let him do his thing, here's a little taste of the true god of this shit.
youtube
gage vs shlak. this is, i think, what we're all wanting, expecting, and hoping for for wednesday night. absolute fucking mayhem. blood. lighttubes. pizza cutters to the face. total fucking destruction.
youtube
this isn't a full match, but i will always put pro wrestling cinema over. they do good work. but DO search this full match out if you wanna spend money (rspring break from gcw' the collective event over wrestlemania weekend. delightful show). highly recommend. but even just in highlight form, set to dmx songs, this fucks. it remains one of the hardest, bloodiest, most painful--even for me--gage matches i've seen in recent memory, outstanding work. may dmx rest in peace, one of the best there ever was or will be.
if you're enjoying yourself, and you find that you dont mind spending money on the king, i would highly suggest: gage vs effy from the gcw/black lable pro double feature, 2 cups stuffed. im pretty sure the whole show is on iwtv, but it might be a buy from fite (which, if theyre still doing the "download the app and get like 10 bucks of credits," do it. this isn't an ad, but thats basically a free ppv). one of my favorite matches. effy brought it. absolutely insane. a+ would recommend.
also, the gage vs allie kat texas deathmatch which gave the world the best wrestling promo to exist ever.
and also gage vs aj gray from gcw draft day in may. it has everything. mayhem. gage retaining the title (😭 fuck you cardona). aj gray being a baddass. a jon moxley run in. ron funches on comentary. great time all around.
i may have gotten distracted a lot because i havent had coffee yet, but i just love nick gage, y'all.

-------------------------
Roman couldn't seem to function for most of the day after his meet up with Janus and Virgil. His mind was racing with different explanations. Was it a hallucination? That cant have been real, they're soulmates, no way he'd want to kiss you of all people when he has Janus seemed to be a popular excuse.
Roman was never very good in school, he mixed numbers up and could never seem to get his head wrapped around certain concepts, but today, that was multiplied ten-fold.
"Mr. Prince-Duke is there something you'd like to share with the class?" the teacher stood at the front, ruler aloft in her hand, eyebrows raised. She was mocking him, he knew that, most teachers tended to pick on the Soulless.
"No ma'am," Roman said, folding his hands in front of him on the desk.
"Are you sure? You seem awfully distracted, have you found your soulmate yet? Your marks dont seem to be glowing," the teacher said, grinning. Roman had to stop himself from pulling a hoodie over the tattoos.
"No, I havent, and I have nothing to share, so I think it would be better to get back to class," Roman said, a slight edge to his voice. The teacher frowned and turned back to the board. Purposely, Roman was sure of it, she'd blocked him from being able to see the notes on the board until she'd erased them, so all he had to go off of was the tone change of the board.
Roman let out a sigh of relief at the bell, rushing out of class before the teacher could say anything else. Next class was lunch, and he'd just remembered where he was going to sit.
"Sorry I'm late- lunch lines are getting ridiculously long these days-" Roman said as he slid into the seat across from the boys.
"Its alright," Janus replied, running his fingers through Virgil's hair. Virgil, it seemed, had decided falling asleep was a superior option to eating.
Roman ran his fingers through his hair nervously, averting his eyes. "So uh- how are your classes?" He said quietly, biting his lip slightly.
"They're alright I suppose, I much prefer theatre though," Janus said. Roman sat up a little.
"You're in theatre?" He said excitedly.
"Of course! What better place is there for me than the stage? Is there anywhere as sophisticated?" Janus said, smirking.
"The day you classify as sophisticated is the day my pet spider stops escaping her enclosure," Virgil mumbled slightly. Roman laughed, but quickly snapped his mouth shut at the glare he received from Janus.
"Well then I suppose we'll find her safe at home in her cave when we arrive home," Janus said, he had a slight pout etched onto his face.
"Aaaaaaaawwwwwww, did I offend you?" Virgil said, burying his head in the crook of Janus' neck. Roman pulled his jacket tighter over himself, trying to be as discreet as possible.
"Roman? Is something bothering you?" Janus said, eyes darting from Roman's arm and chest to his face.
"Hm? Oh- nonono I'm perfectly fine," Roman said, even though it was blatantly obvious that he was lying through his teeth.
"Alright, I wont intrude, but if we're making you uncomfortable you can tell us alright? We wont get upset," Janus said, smiling. Roman felt like he might've melted on the spot from that smile. No one had looked at him like that before. Roman snapped himself back to reality before his thoughts could get to much to handle, Janus already had a soulmate, Roman had no markings, they werent supposed to think of each other like that. Roman began to shove as much food as he could fit into his mouth, hoping he wouldnt have to start up anymore conversations.
"I heard you were having trouble with classes, yes?" Janus continued.
Roman shifted a bit in his seat "Yeah, I'm uh- not very good with math," he said, conveniently skipping the part where teachers actively singled him out on questions he'd never been given before.
"I could tutor you," Janus said simply, Virgil gave him another sardonic look.
"You keep looking at me like that and I'm putting you on the fridge," Janus said out of the corner of his mouth, Virgil shrugged and busied himself with the zippers on his hoodie.
"It'd be pretty hopeless, I'm not exactly a big numbers guy yknow?" Roman said, fidgeting slightly.
"Well, if you think it might help you can always call me," Janus said.
Roman's heart sank when he heard the bell that signified the end of lunch. But picked up as he remembered that he and Janus shared a fourth period.
"I'll see you after school ok Virgil? And for the love of everything please don't try climbing anything you shouldnt be," Janus said as he stood up. Virgil pouted as he got up and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I didnt even get hurt that bad last time!" He said.
"Oh sure, because nearly breaking a leg is definitely considered mild outside of theatre," Janus replied sarcastically. He gave Virgil a small kiss on the forehead before walking off with Roman.
"So how long have you two been together anyways?" Roman asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Oh we've been together for ages," Janus said, smiling fondly.
"That sounds nice" Roman said, trying to keep the conversation on Janus and Virgil so nothing would circle back to him.
"It is, of course Virgil wears his hoodie all the time so it took me ages to figure out he was the reason mine was glowing all the time," Janus said. Roman laughed slightly, imaging the two passing each other in the hall every day with no clue that they were supposed to be soulmates.
"So do you have any favorite productions?" Janus asked.
"Well that's a bit of a difficult one, theres so many to chose from isnt there?" Roman said, grinning. He and Janus spent the rest of the day discussing productions, Janus seemed to know a lot more about the actors, whereas Roman was more focused on the composition of things like the music, and both of them spent a good chunk of time talking about costumes.
Roman was glad Virgil had decided to kiss him in that hall, and it may very well have been for more reasons than one.

Have you heard about PFA and MFA?
or the full name is ‘Psychological First Aid’ (PFA) and ‘Mental Health First Aid’ (MFA)
Tumblr media
Can we relate it with Cloud Strife? As we all know, Cloud had mental illness and was struggling alone. Let’s take a quick look on this topic then and see if characters in FF7 ever give PFA/MFA to Cloud or to each other. This is going to be a looooong post although I tried to simplified it, so, yeah. Good luck reading this !
Disclaimer : I’m not a psychologist. I’m still a student and psych is not my major field. During my intern, other than we got exposed a lot about psychiatric disorders and ways to deal with them, we also got trained psychological first aid in emergency department. If it wasnt because of this quarantine, i would have finished my training in emergency field. There might be false interpretation here or there, forgive me for that and pls correct any mistake in this post
This will probably trigger LTD. Sorry, but I had to, Pls read this post with open mind. Keep in mind I like both Tifa and Aerith, i have no grudges agaisnt Barret, Vincent, Nanaki or Cid so I am not being bias with any of them. I forgot a lot of stuff in OG (I played it when I was really really small), so I will be using lots FF7R and AC references here (and a bit from OG, depends whatever I remember)
Good to go? Allow me to rant. Read it slowly and if u skip some of it, u’ll probably mislead my actual words, and u’ll be triggered af. Don’t come at me with madness if u dont read the whole post properly
What is PFA and MFA? Generally speaking, if Basic First Aid is about covering the wound to prevent further bleeding, then PFA (Psychological First Aid) and MFA (Mental Health First Aid) is like applying a bandage on ur mental to avoid u continue being distress. 
Usually, PFA is often associated with disaster event or terrorism, where large number of people got affected. Meanwhile, MFA focus in one person who is developing mental health prob or already in mental crisis due to certain traumas, such as vehicle accident, house burned and etc
 Pls note that, certain people NEED MFA while the others may NOT NEED it. It is important to respect their needs/wants. Some victims may refuse verbally but they ACTUALLY NEED it (CLOUD STRIFE) and maybe some victims look like they dont need it, but they want it, and its super fine to give it
Tumblr media
PFA/MFA not only done by the professionals and it is not a professional counselling, although necessarily training is needed if u want to approach deeper in this field. PFA/MFA is also not a psychological ‘debriefing’ - in which MFA/PFA doesnt need to involve a detailed discussion of the trauma event with the victim, but instead, it is an alternative way to psychological debriefing that helps for long-term recovery. (unless if ure a pscyhiatrist, then u have to forget about MFA and ask detailed questions regarding the events to help the patient to recover)
MFA and PFA both almost the same, but I will mention more about MFA here.
MFA (Mental Health First Aid) is not just about comforting “Oh, are u alright. I’m sorry for what u’ve been through”, but it is also about assessing their needs and concerns, protecting them from harm, provide practical support and support them feeling able to help themselves and others.
The main key for these two term is RESPECT - respect victim’s dignity, respect both parties safety and respect victim’s rights to make decision. Even without the PFA, we should respect these three in whatever circumstance we are in. 
A lot of us honestly were born with natural skill of MFA bcause of our own empathy, instinct or experiences and some got trained professionally. Some of them already had MFA due to high common senses they have.  
Tumblr media
Some of the Do’s and Dont’s when giving MFA include;
Do’s : 1. Be trustworthy | 2. Respect their decision | 3. Be aware of and set aside ur bias | 4. Make it clear to them u are available for help even they push u away | 5. Respect their privacy and personal space | 6. Do remain calm and soft when the person in distress | 7. Listen and don’t interrupt their talking | 8. Help in terms of basic needs | 9. Create connection the person with others | 10. Give hope to them | 11. Provide private place to talk about the event | 12. Respect their strenght | 13. Advice small necessary matters or give simple words of encouragement | 14. Acknowledge positive features of what victims have done
Dont’s : 1. Rush in whatever the thing theyre doing with u | 2. Be dismissive | 3. Make promises u know can’t keep | 3. Ask anything in return for helping them | 4. Exaggerate ur skills | 5. Force help on people, being pushy | 6. Pressure them to tell their story | 7. Judge that person | 8. Put the person in risk of harm as result of ur actions | 8. Force them to accept ur idea/Listening to ur rant | 9. Talk rough | 10. Being bias with the people | 11. Touching that person too much | 12. Talk with the person in negative terms | 13. Abandon the person’s feeling
To simplify, there are 3 ways for MFA to begin, and I will only talk about one of them, the one that is the hardest to do, that is when u notice someone looks distressed and ure concern about them, and leading u to approach them first without them noticing ur concern. [Am I putting the right words here?]
Tumblr media
In Cloud’s case, who do u think the first noticed Cloud behaved oddly and went to help him first ? - yeah Tifa. U probably would say “OFC she went to help him, she met him first at the train station. That guy looked sick af, who wouldnt ask if he was alright. If Aerith/Yuffie/Jessie met him first, they would do the same”. Okay guys, that was not my point. 
Let’s focus one by one characters and see what Do’s and Dont’s MFA (Mental Health First Aid) they’ve done to Cloud and other charas. Keep in mind, none of them know what Cloud had gone through, but Cloud had showed some obvious sign he was unwell and only a few of them noticed that and took action for it. 
The symbol [X] means the Dont’s in MFA and ( ✔) means the Do’s in MFA.
Biggs Jessie Wedge -
I know there’s a thing about man helping man’s psychology and Jessie being flirty with a guy.They [X] thought Cloud was like how they saw Cloud. and they considered it as normal. They didnt see Cloud under distress so they dont have the need to concern his mental status. The good thing about them was, the three of them (✔) respect Cloud’s strenght, giving Cloud the confident to be in action. But, Jessie [X] had zero respect on Cloud’s personal space
Tumblr media
I wanna highlight about Biggs. Biggs had an attitude of overthinking stuff, but it wasnt so bad that would cause him harm, he just cared too much about his friends. So I believe Biggs was the type that would notice immediately when his friend being strange and would give MFA (Mental Health First Aid) with his own instinct even without the person asking it.
Tumblr media
During the Sector 7 Plate attack, where Biggs was severely injured, when Cloud said he was not a fan of kids and Biggs said Cloud had so much in common (in common of what? Cloud with the kids or Cloud with him?), Cloud gave him ‘a sad look’ and Biggs reached out his hand to Cloud’s head. Biggs (✔) remain calm and soft when dealing with Cloud’s feeling (who faced traumatic event but Biggs didnt know about it) on that moment despite his current physical status. And also he (✔) wished goodluck to Cloud, leading to prevention distress on Cloud
Marle -
Tumblr media
Marle [X] judged Cloud for someone who had no skills, but she entrusted Cloud to take care of Tifa’s well being. Not knowing who Cloud was, Marle noticed Cloud looked glum, she (✔) offered her ear for Cloud to rant and knew right away he was not having enough sleep, then (✔) advising him to sleep more . Lol, she was [X] biased with Cloud and Tifa. Not her fault, she only knew Tifa’s story, not Cloud’s. After the Sector 7 plate fall, we saw her being the most active member to help with the remaining citizens there. Marle without a doubt had given the citizens there PFA (Psychological First Aid) , by helping them with their (✔) basic needs, (✔) create connections, (✔) put away bias, (✔) remain calm and soft. 
Tumblr media
Barret Wallace -
Tumblr media
Barret was the same like Biggs Jessie Wedge. I’m sure Barret thought Cloud was just fine. Barret saw Cloud as a mercenary with stinky attitude,[X] judging him like that causing Barret to gave him the same attitude too. But overall, he (✔) respected Cloud’s strength a lot
Tumblr media
However, after the Sector 7 plate fall, Tifa and Barret were the one that hurt (mentally) the most, Tifa as usual locking her emotions, there we could see how Barret comforting Tifa by (✔) giving words of encouragement and proceed on (✔) hugging her to show his empathy. Barret also (✔) remain calm and soft spoken when talking to the survival victims of Sector 7 citizens. He also (✔) acknowledged what the citizens had done to survive
Tumblr media
Vincent Valentine - 
Tumblr media
Don’t be surprise Vincent was listed here. This guy here was like another version of Cloud but more mature. In addiction, they both kinda share the same pain. So, I personally think Vincent understands Cloud pretty well. In AC, where Cloud was mentally ill, Vincent saved Cloud from Kadaj and brothers and (✔) took him to safer place. That was a common thing to do. But let’s go deeper, Cloud never told him about himself, but Vincent already  (✔) aware of Cloud’s trouble with the geostigma stuff and Cloud’s current mental status. Vincent, (✔) calm and soft like always (✔) didnt hesitate to asked if all of these were just about ‘fighting’ and it made Cloud to ‘re-think’ further about his problem. He (✔) didnt pressure Cloud here, instead he was (✔) helping Cloud to understand the condition he was facing, and this lead Cloud to avoid distress.
Aerith Gainsborough -
Tumblr media
I know Aerith was special. She was an important character and devs created her to be ‘loved’ by the fans so that her death would be tragic. Aerith did almost all the things that shouldnt be done when giving MFA to mentally ill person. Some of u may say “Duh, Aerith didnt know anything about Cloud thus she had no intentions of giving him MFA”. Yup, ure right. Aerith didnt know about Cloud’s mental status but so as all the other characters in the series. 
Tumblr media
Aerith was [X] being pushy with Cloud, in lots of ways, from making him as a bodyguard for free to forcing him to wear a dress. She [X] forced Cloud to accept her idea about meeting Andrea, dance and gown. She also [X] forced Cloud to help picking the flowers. Aerith [X] didn’t let Cloud to have his own decision [X] neither giving him a chance to talk,  and [X] abandon his feelings (cough..uhm, Aerith resolution). She also had [X] no respect on Cloud’s personal space and [X] too much touching and leaning to him. Aerith also [X] put herself in danger and that worried Cloud.  She [X] looked down on Cloud in someways too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, at the Sector 5 slum, where the hooded man appeared, Aerith noticed Cloud was having trouble with himself, she (✔) encouraged Cloud to keep himself together. Also, throughout the entire game, Aerith always remind the team to (✔) have hope in everything. Her positive vibrant attitude was what (✔) made everyone able to believe in themselves. She also (✔) ensure Marlene’s safety and protected her. She was able to (✔) remain soft and calm when approaching Marlene. Remember Betty? Aerith took her time to helped her out and she even (✔) respected the little girl’s strength, (✔)slow and steady when saving her and (✔)soft spoken
Tumblr media
Tifa Lockhart -
Tumblr media
Tifa met Cloud at the train station, saw him being ‘not-so-fine’ state despite Cloud claiming he was completely okay. Tifa didn’t know what Cloud had gone through and  she (✔) didn’t pressure him to talk about it. She even helped him to (✔) find a place to sleep even when Cloud never asked for it. Tifa unconsciously was the first person to give Cloud MFA without knowing what Cloud had faced previously. And Cloud, on that moment, he really needed a help. Tifa also (✔) stated that if Cloud need anything, she would help him with it
Tumblr media
Tifa (✔) remain calm everytime Cloud had sudden headache, she didn’t leave him alone and (✔) didnt put any pressure on him by asking question. During the (✔) Alone At Last, they had privacy Tifa asked about what happened after he left Nibelheim. She (✔) listened and didnt interrupt him, (✔) neither pushing him to talk more. Moreover, Tifa (✔) put a distance with Cloud, dunno if she was the one who was being uncomfortable or she actually (✔) respect Cloud’s personal space and privacy. Tifa (✔) didn’t force him to stay at Midgar, she asked him and was glad Cloud would stay for a while. Tifa was no doubt (✔) respect all Cloud’s decisions too. Also, don’t forget, Tifa also helped Cloud to help (✔) make ‘close connection’ with the Avalanche members and people in Sector 7 slums. She also (✔) didn’t do much touching with Cloud (Well, I mean, she didnt touch him in clingy way)
Tumblr media
In AC, Tifa (✔) encouraged Cloud to have hope for Geostigma and the family
Tumblr media
Tifa did [X] put herself in danger by becoming Corneos bride participant and that gave Cloud trouble (but Tifa ensured him she would be fine on her own previously) And btw, in OG, I read about the fans questioning why Tifa [X] didnt tell Cloud the truth. I would like to argue this matter. TIFA IS A CHARACTER WITH REAL HUMAN FLAWS, she too had her own traumatic event and was not really sure of herself on what to do. However, considering what Tifa had done for him, Tifa had helped with Cloud’s psychology the most.
Tumblr media
I know Cloud was putting up a font, and that made him to have condescending attitude, and people couldnt see what Cloud was hiding behind the the bravery face. However, all of us as fans acknowledged the pain Cloud was suffering in the entire FF7 story. Some of the characters like Tifa, Marle, Vincent, Biggs noticed it and they took actions for it, while others, I do personally thing, they were hurting the Real Cloud’s mentality more. 
Long story short, Tifa was the one who gave mental health support the most to Cloud, followed by Vincent (AC), Biggs and Marle. Aerith did the worst with Real Cloud's mentality + she then died, mking Cloud be more miserable,
Tumblr media
However, Aerith actually had the best way to give MFA/PFA to children, but maybe the worst to Cloud. While Tifa gave the best MFA to Cloud which helped him to get himself together through out the entire time
Alright thats the end of my talk. Thank you for being with meee

ive finished the chimera ant arc in HxH
christ that was LONG. just for reference, this arc is long as the ENTIRETY of the namek saga from the original 291 episode run of DBZ, from right before they landed on namek to after freeza’s death and the beginning of the garlic jr saga.
this one arc is actually longer than the first 3 arcs of HxH combined.
now, the namek saga is often maligned for being pretty f**kin’ long and it is, especially since the original run has a metric shitload of filler. but also, A LOT of shit happens in that arc, from the dragon ball chase, to the ginyu force, to the desperate battle with freeza to the unveiling of the legendary super saiyan. theres actually quite a bit going on.
the chimera ant arc has no filler but also moves at an ungodly slow pace. the arc would hit you with some intense moments, then immediately slow to a crawl for a few episodes the worst offenders being when the show took 4 episodes to explain what happened in a 2 minute window to the incredibly annoying hide and seek game that lasted a couple of episodes that happened AFTER maybe the big emotional moment of the arc involving gon. 
outside of the slow pace of things...honestly not that much happens in the arc after the initial wave. its like a ton of setup leading to a lot of really boring nonsense sprinkled with some good payoff.
spoilers
the good: 
Neferpitou - what an incredible villain. their introduction may go down as one of my favorite villain intros ever. thats one of the few times i actually felt stressed out over a villains debut. they truly felt menacing. unfortunately, they get kind of squandered during the big battle before being fed to Gon’s character moment. kind of sucks, but, damn they were good.
Reina - Hated watching those deaths, but the final episode reunion hit me harder than anything else in this arc. I legit shed some tears.
Morel and Knuckle- The guy who controls smoke rules and his powers are f**kin’ awesome. he also ends up kind of doing f**k all during the big battle though. Same goes for Knuckle, but Knuckle is a great character
Kite - Kite was cool as hell.
BISCUIT KREUGER - she wasnt in it for very long, but shes one of my favorites so im putting her here.
KOMUGI - what a fantastic character. didn’t really make me care about meruem that much, but she was awesome.
the sorta meh:
Gon and Killua - it sort of felt like Gon and Killua took a backseat to everything else. Killua had his character moment which was decent, but also felt completely disconnected from the rest of the arc. Gon had his one really big moment, but even that was kind of whatever to me. I sort of enjoyed the emotional context behind it but it felt pretty extreme too. like it was Super Saiyan 2 Gohans personality change ramped up by a factor of 10.
the sucky:
The other 2 royal guards - These guys just sucked and I honestly thought they were really boring. they had bad designs and corny personalities. unfortunately, despite neferpitou being 100x more interesting both design wise and personality wise than these goofballs, these 2 got WAY more screen time and dialogue. they were a huge waste of time.
meruem - this guy sucked. his design was goofy and he was goofy. the scenes with komugi were cool but thats like 80% on komugi being so likable. meruem had the personality of cardboard and his ultimate character development was “uh, maybe some people are worth keeping alive and maybe i shouldnt kill kids and eat their brains.” at least the final scene with him and komugi was well done.
the minor chimera ants - i skipped through large portions of this garbage because i did not care. some of it was decent to good but they spent WAY too much time on some of these idiots only for them to get killed off within seconds.
ponzu’s death - this death was overly gratuitous for no reason. some might argue that it was to show the brutality of the ants, but literally we have seen them kill and eat people by this point. this death was disturbing and it led to absolutely nothing. i might also put pokkle’s death here too because it was maybe the most brutal death of the series, but it was used to show how ungodly evil neferpitou was.
meruem vs the old man - this fight was kind of trash and the ending to it was also trash. it came out of left field just for the purpose of being “LOL HUMANS ARE BAD TOO, GET IT?!” neteru’s powers were REALLY cool, but ultimately pointless. 
most of the fights - none of the fights were very good and most of them felt like padding or led to nothing. the characters plans for battle didnt work and the only reason they won was because someone nuked himself and the bad guys died of radiation poisoning. the fights were just there to waste time and they went on for FAR too long.
the narrator - i read that some people liked the narrator EXPLAINING 80% OF WHATS HAPPENING ON SCREEN but i hated it and found it extremely irritating. almost nothing on screen was complicated enough to warrant so much explanation. it was like xenogears disc 2 but instead of an overly complicated plot about religion and identity throughout time, it was a simplistic plot about what it means to be human or whatever.

What is ur personal ranking for each remake? I will never watch Italia, but it seems well received by those who have watched it. Wtfock fans know it messed up BIG time w some of their choices in s3 and ofc s4 was an epic disaster. Skam fr fans know it didnt wake up until s3, messed up s4, had mixed reviews for s5, but s6 was better. Onto OG. It just shouldnt be ranked w the remakes. It still holds up, but it doesn't have the advantage of using feedback from an OG to make improvements/adjustments
Hello! Might I direct you to this post
It’s not so dissective bc that would just take so much effort but I know that people rank the remakes on different things. Whether it be how PC each season was, how diverse the cast is, how they handled certain topics, or even just by how they handled their original seasons (which leaves the dead remakes in the gutter) But I like to rank the remakes in comparison to the original Skam. That’s why I’ll always list OG as number one (not to say that its the best overall but rather, it is impossible to put it lower than its successors) I compare how alike they are, after all they’re supposed to be remakes. I’ve dissected Skam’s cinematography, music choices, story telling methods, dialogue/script writing, and overall entertainment level/enjoyability. I know a big part of Skam for a lot of people is the representation and created discussions but I just like watching shows to escape. 
It’s not about the acting (Wtfock) or the drama (France) or even the chemistry between the cast (España). Its just about how much fun I had when watching. Wtfock is only fun to watch because of the tumblr memes. France was not fun to watch at all. Not just looking at season 5 or 6 but as a whole they make a lot of mistakes that take away from the atmosphere of the Original. España is a nice watch. It keeps me preoccupied but it doesn’t excite me. I was so enthusiastic about Austin but that may have just been my American bias. NL didn’t get a fair shot bc I basically skipped season one of all the remakes but I still know that they hit all the technical marks. Druck has been my clear favorite, they’re the reason I made a Tumblr account lol. Lastly, the dreaded Italia. It was the first remake I watched when season 2 was airing (I feel like I’m admitting to having a problematic past with that 😅) I really couldn’t even tell you why I dislike it so much, its been so long. If I’m remembering correctly, they had to change a lot to make it fit with the culture and that just ruined the viewing experience for me...

Bam! Im gonna hit you with more various Honoka hcs.
⁃ So when Noka was a baby, neither her dad or Shirou knew what the hell to do with her wings.
⁃ Her first word was "Siro" which was exposed to be "Shirou"
⁃ She would fly around and their dad would make Shirou chase her down.
⁃ When Shirou and Noka were taken in by their uncle, he just slept and let her do whatever.
⁃ Their uncle, also known as Eraserhead, was a very kind guardian
⁃ He went to each of Shirou's ballet concerts, and did Noka's hair for picture day
⁃ If you looked through his search history it would be filled with "how to do a braid for beginners"
⁃ Aizawa bought Noka various art supplies and bought Shirou new shoes whenever they needed them
⁃ Didnt want them to become heroes
⁃ Cause he didnt want to see the two children he practically raised to be hurt
⁃ But because of their ties to All for One, the government forced both of them to become heros to "prove" that they had severed their bonds with All for One
⁃ Shirou's dream was to become a professional dancer and Noka's was to become a professional artist
⁃ And Aizawa was not happy that the two lights in his life were torn from their dreams
⁃ And so Shirou got accepted into the hero program, in class 1-A
⁃ He chose the hero name Shifter
⁃ Cause he could shift into any organic form
⁃ When he got 3rd place at the sports festival, Noka ran around her uncle's apartment screaming with joy
⁃ Noka is literally his biggest fan
⁃ Noka's first friend was a small purple haired boy name Hitoshi Shinsou
⁃ So naturally, she called him Toshi
⁃ And she refused to call him anything else all throughout middle and high school
⁃ Shinsou and Noka have sleepovers all the time and you can't tell me otherwise
⁃ When people would tell Shinsou that his quirk was villainous, Noka would always speak up cause she knew Shinsou wouldnt contradict them
⁃ Noka is always like that
⁃ Speaking up for others and herself. And her smart mouth tends to get her in trouble
⁃ Shinsou would fuss over Noka's wings. Like if they were dirty or a few feathers were out of place, Shinsou would sit her down and fix her wings.
⁃ "Toshi, your inner mom is showing"
⁃ "Its not my fault you cant take proper care of your wings"
⁃ When she told Shinsou about her acceptance into U.A's med course, he couldn't have been prouder
⁃ Noka is actually the one who encouraged Shinsou to train with her uncle.
⁃ But before that lets talk about Noka's time at U.A. so far
⁃ She was first introduced to class 1-A during the first combat training
⁃ Healed everyone who got very minor injuries
⁃ At the USJ attack, Shigiraki deteriorated part of Noka's hip. But her extremely enhanced natural healing abilities stopped the deterioration
⁃ So she has this big ass scar on the back side of her left hip
⁃ She wanted to absolutely murder Shigiraki for letting the Nomu loose on her uncle
⁃ But she doesnt have any damaging fire power
⁃ So she just tried to heal her uncle's wounds the best she could
⁃ Nearly gets herself killed many times with her smart assery
⁃ And gives everyone around her a heart attack in the process
⁃ During the sports festival, she helped RG heal all the students
⁃ Reprimanded Deku for overusing OfA
⁃ Oh yeah, she learned about AfO and OfA from her time with All for One
⁃ Is kind of like to Deku like Recovery Girl is to All Might
⁃ So fast foward to the internships
⁃ She interns with another oc of mine, Snow
⁃ Who is a healer but with incredible attack powers
⁃ Coincidentally, Noka was patrolling Hosu when the nomus hit
⁃ She recieved Deku's distress signal and ran to the scene
⁃ She didnt attack the hero killer, but ran to help Native and made sure he didnt bleed out
⁃ The hero killer didnt bat a single eye at her, deeming her not a threat
⁃ In the end, she didnt harm Stain so her hero guardian? didnt have to take any blame for her actions
⁃ Noka however did get nearly ripped in half by a nomu, so she had to stay in the hospital with Todo and Deku
⁃ So— Summer training arc
⁃ She just looked at her class and said "fuck this" and flew over the whole forest
⁃ She actually beat the wild wild pussycats back to the camp
⁃ She got to know Kota, telling him how she never wanted to become a hero
⁃ Kota may or may not have developed a kiddie crush on her 😳
⁃ But anyways, when everyone else saw her all nice and refreshed, needless to say they were upset
⁃ Some more than others
⁃ *remembers Bakugou nearly blowing off Noka's face because she cheated*
⁃ Aizawa just smirking at his niece cause shes so much like her mother
⁃ "DAMMIT TAKAHASHI. YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE YOU CHEATER"
⁃ "They said to use our quirks. Its not my fault your quirk is too grounded"
⁃ "WHAT— YOU WANNA FIGHT—"
⁃ "No I wanna eat, goodbye—"
⁃ Focuses on her attack and the healing capabilities of her quirk
⁃ Let me set the scene
⁃ At the beginning of UA, our Noka could barely heal up a small cut
⁃ But now, she can close up major wound with little to no effort
⁃ P r o g r e s s people
⁃ N e ways
⁃ So when they do the haunted quirk thingy
⁃ Hairi and Noka are paired up, to their delight
⁃ But they aren't able to go into the forest before the attack happens
⁃ Apparently, the league came for Bakugou and Noka
⁃ Cause the "master" wanted his first nomu to return to him
⁃ But all Deku knew was "they are after Kacchan and the master's first Nomu"
⁃ Nobody knew who the first nomu was except for Noka
⁃ See, AfO took and gave Noka various quirks, eventually ending up with her current quirk(s)
⁃ Eventually, Noka is cornered by Dabi
⁃ His fire power vastly out matches hers
⁃ But she puts up one hell of a fight
⁃ And Kurogiri took her before she woke up and fought back even more
⁃ So everyone was panicking when they couldnt find Noka
⁃ Aizawa was panicking them most
⁃ His precious niece was missing, no, taken by the league
⁃ The students had never seen their teacher so frazzled
⁃ The thing that broke Aizawa more was the look on Shirou's face when he told him that his baby sister was missing
⁃ His precious baby sister
⁃ His whole world
⁃ Shirou didnt go out of his room for days
⁃ He was there when they were to save Bakugou and Noka
⁃ All Might fought AfO, and won
⁃ But there was no sign of Noka
⁃ Shirou nearly tackled Bakugou, demanding, no, more like pleading for him to tell him where she was
⁃ Bakugou merely said "She's gone, and I dont know where she went"
⁃ The whole class was in a panic
⁃ Where was Noka? Was she hurt? Was she scared? Was she in danger?
⁃ And the question that hung on everyone's mind the most was
⁃ Is she alive?
⁃ The emptiness of Noka's desk was deafening
⁃ Their smart ass classmate was nowhere to be found
⁃ And they all felt guilty
⁃ But none more than Bakugou
⁃ For he was the last to see her alive so to speak
⁃ And her last words to him were "Forget about me ya big oaf, you hear me? I don't want you sulking, or I'll personally beat your ass."
⁃ Forget about her? How could he do that?
⁃ Noka was the only person who didn't put up with his bullshit
⁃ From day one she put him in his place
⁃ And honestly shes the closest thing to a sister he has
⁃ During the hero license exam, all of class 1-A decided that Noka would be really upset if they all sulked and failed their exams
⁃ But the fact that only Todoroki and Bakugou failed would make her fall into hysterics
⁃ When class 1-A met the big three, Mirio told them that Noka was strong and stubborn to a fault, so they shouldnt worry about things that arent in their control
⁃ To which they asked how he knew her
⁃ Apparently Shirou, Amajiki, and Mirio have all been friends since elementary school
⁃ So Amajiki and Mirio had been there a lot for many crucial parts of Noka's childhood
⁃ When the work studies started, Deku went on patrol with Mirio and Shirou, AKA Lemillion and Shifter
⁃ Shirou couldnt help but feel so much guilt crushing him when Eri jumped out of Deku's arms
⁃ Cause Eri reminded him of his little sister
⁃ Speaking of little sister
⁃ For the last 2 months, Noka had been experimented on by Kai Chisaki
⁃ In the mean time trying to protect Eri and building a loving friendship with the young girl
⁃ But ive alreadly talked about this part
⁃ So skipping to when they save her
⁃ It was a total shock for them
⁃ To see this wingless, pale, frail, bandage wrapped girl
⁃ And even more so when she spoke
⁃ Not having that bite that their Noka had
⁃ But a softer, more broken voice replaced her normally boisterous and confident voice
⁃ In the big battle agains Chisaki, Noka got slammed against a wall
⁃ Which in normal circumstances would be fine, but with her body in such a week state it immediately cracked her ribs and spine
⁃ Ochako helped get her friend to the ambulance as quick as she could
⁃ Shirou saw a fluff of pale pink hair out of the corner of his eye
⁃ He immediately turned to run towards the medical stretcher, but was stopped
⁃ He kicked and screamed something along the lines of "THATS MY BABY SISTER. PLEASE LET ME SEE HER"
⁃ In the most broken voice you would ever hear
⁃ In the hospital, after Sir. Nighteye had passed, Deku, Kirishima, Amajiki, Shirou, Ochako, Tsu and Aizawa were all waiting anxiously for Noka's surgery
⁃ When all of a sudden the door explodes open and the nurses and doctors are shoved out by an invisible force of heat
⁃ Noka was using her ability to set herself aflame and be healed in the ashes
⁃ But no one knew wtf was going on cause she learned the trick at the Hassaiki hideout
⁃ So p a n i k
⁃ But after the doctors confirmed her stablility, they all went back to school
⁃ The whole class bursted into tears when they told them about Noka
⁃ Jirou, Kaminari, Momo and Mina all being the most emotionally impacted
⁃ Bakugou was almost crying witb relief but he disnt show jt
⁃ They weren't allowed to see Noka for a whole month
⁃ Only family were allowed
⁃ She was hard at work recovering and going through therapy and they didnt want to disturb her
⁃ But when they (Kirishima, Deku, Ochako, and Tsu) did visit, they were shocked
⁃ There was this soft spoken, trembling, woman, and this was after a month of intense therapy
⁃ They hadnt event started physcial therapy yet, they wanted to get her tk the point she could be around others without going into a panic mode
⁃ Thus she needs the wheelchair
I have a bunch more random hcs but this is so long anyways. Im so sorry >_<

Fractures Prologue Outline
I was inspired by @muffinlance sending out an outline and so I grace you all with the original outline for the Prologue of Fractures. I managed to stay on it pretty much completely, except for when it comes to the word count.
Also, Google Docs is messing up for me, so instead of a Google Drive link, the outline is just below the cut.
Enjoy!
- - -
Outline:
EVIE I KNOW YOU’RE AN IDIOT BECAUSE I AM YOU SO DON’T FORGET: Zuko was imprisoned at 13, was there for 3 years, we don’t go into detail cause you don’t want it rated M now do you? You don’t. He was released two days after Sozin’s Comet.
Why is the Gaang not in the Fire Nation? Who knows. They’re not though. Ignore that Iroh would probably be smarter than that, I don’t care. You can figure it out, Future Evie. We are a master procrastinator, afterall.
Estimate for the Prologue’s length: Maybe 10000 words? Minimum: 8000 words, Maximum: 16000
Note: Keep OCs straight (not in the sexuality way dipshit). They are plentiful.
So here’s the deal: zuzu’s been hurt, tortured, traumatized, all the things and all of them are bad. Shyu (the only valid Fire Sage) comes down like “hey youre firelord now.” Zuko is understandably shocked but he’s not complaining i mean-
So there’s Keeli, who gave him food, and Ming and Lee, two of the guards at his cell. (other guards to be introduced later).
Zuko meets Pim and two irrelevant-yet-named servants. He is so kind. So good. There is much shock. What? A Royal treating servants like human beings??? Blasphemy.
So Zuko gets crowned and even tho his legs are jacked up he stands up and its very dramatic and very beautiful omg i cri evry tiem,,,
Then we have a royal party to attend but UH OH its boring so Zuko dips and goes to the commonfolk party (spoiler alert: he has more fun) (spoiler-spoiler alert: commmon ppl will LOVE HIM if he keeps this up (spoiler alert to spoiler alert: he keeps it up))
Zuko should probably take a bath somewhere in there.
Time skip to next morning after a night of nightmares (no need to go in depth for these just mention that they happen). Zuko’s got a meeting with the council and it doesnt go so hot and so he’s like ‘man our government sucks i gotta change that’ (wait is it a coup or revolution if youre the firelord? i dont know the school system has failed me).
Squeeze in meeting two new people who were also guards: Tyne and Anzo. They’re married, Tyne is Lee’s sister.
REMEMBER THAT TYNE AND LEE ARE FIREBENDERS.
On that note, Zuko’s firebending is messed up.
Reveal to ONLY THE READER that Lu Ten is alive and married to Keeli (and they have the MUNCHKINS).
Zuko goes to the Boiling Rock bc plot convenience, finds Mai and Ty Lee. Awkward reunion? Probably.
Zuko finds Suki and Hakoda in the Boiling Rock. Hakoda is cold, Suki is too. It’s not just because they were born in the southern half of the world (heh puns)
Zuko takes them back with him cause he’s a good boi and they are very obviosuly injured and he ONLY HAS PURE INTENTIONS WHY CANT THINGS JUST WORK OUT FOR HIM (i shouldnt be saying these things im the one writing this fucking outline).
Zuko has a panic attack for some reason because hes got t r a u m a .
Cut to Hakoda’s POV and like what he thinks about Zuko and stuff.
Ride back in the carriage, show zuko OBVIOSULY overworking himself. Pim being a badass and getting CHARCTER. Maybe she like punches someone.
Time skip again, get some bonding with Keeli in there if possible (better be possible). Zuko suspects a prison guy of embezzlement or some shit and goes to investigate HIMSELF because we need the plot to progress somehow. It’s an old waterbender prison.
SPOILER ALERT: HE FINDS KYAAAA
Kya is a badass tho and we love her and shes so strong and she sees RIGHT THRU zuko bc shes not an IDIOT (ahem hakoda).
Hakoda and Kya reunite and its beautiful and there better be tearsss.
Okay this might end up being around 25000 words instead.
Zuko works to like improve relations with the guests he has now, readers get a little inside look on a few different people.
IMPORTANT ENDING: ENDING IS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!! I REPEAT: AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure to end the prologue with a KNIFE IN ZUKO’S SHOULDER and nothing else because making readers feel pain is glorious.
End prologue.

I know I may have asked this before so you can skip it and I can try to find the OG answer, but how would your elders feel about mine? I believe you only did three of yours which is okay, just wanted to see if you were willing to do it for others
I found the og post huehue~ So I can answer for the rest of them. uwu I am totally willing~ some of these guys are assholes so I apologize ahead of time
Seraph: (golden bitch)
Risus - Eh suppose you are fine as long as you dont cause trouble for me.
Trituna - Would try and stay out of Tritunas way not because they are scared but because even Seraph understands the balance of things shouldnt be fucked with.
Conllium - this may come as a surprise but Seraph would actually like Conllium but wont admit it. They like Conlliums realm and how just....the way everything is. They wont admit this to anyone though x3
Cundolili - Would mostly be curious about Cundolili
Trema/Astute - would be neutral towards
Decla -  another they would be neutral towards
Nalia - Just wants to say they love Nalias outfit but wont say anything else x3
Sionis - booorrring.
Mecor - Another beautiful elder whom Seraph will be jealous of x3 but wont say anything about it.
Logium - wouldn’t really know too much about Logium so not too much of an opinion.
Zerneboh: (bastard mode activated)
Risus - a possible ally/friend/frenemy
Trituna - As one who destroys the balance of things they will hate each other.
Conllium - Wouldn’t like Conllium one bit.
Cundolili - Will be curious, as to who this is and why they will be replacing Conllium.
Trema/Astute - Would Tolerate more than Decla.
Decla - Would tolerate Decla but would not like them. Zerneboh loves absolute chaos and disaster~
Nalia - Wouldn’t like Nalia in the least but knowing Zerneboh he pretends to be friendly with almost anyone. Cause hes a bastard.
Sionis - would find them annoying.
Mecor - hmm~ Zerneboh might be a creep to her but there are those who wont let that happen so she will be fine. But what an interesting family~ he thinks to himself
Logium - No
Orfeo: (a little bitch)
Risus - would see a possible friend in Risus.
Trituna - Dont think He would like her. Balance....gonna fuck that shit up.
Conllium - Nope
Cundolili - uhhh
Trema/Astute - maaaybe?.....I...wait...no...
Decla - They deal with Risus they can handle Orfeo x3 so this is a Nope from him heheh
Nalia - Thinks they are beautiful will learn quickly not to be a creep to them
Sionis - ah fuck...
Mecor - beautiful~.... (dont even think about it Orfeo...)
Logium -well x3 I dont really need to say why these two wont get along lol
Pestilence:
Risus - What he feels about Risus is hard to say, Pestilence is a complicated guy.
Trituna - Pestilence is iffy again here. Hes not one to always deliberately piss someone off like Famine or accidentally like War. I imagine these two would be an on off kind of possible friendship or allyship wise.
Conllium - A chill tree, a lovely place to be. Definitely would see them as a friend indeed. His contribution to the decorations are masks to hang upon their branches~
Cundolili - Would be welcoming to Cundolili. Curious about them,  but would never do them harm. Just as welcoming to them as they are to Mecor. uwu
Trema/Astute - Wouldnt mind Trema, though Trema might mind him. Pestilence can be annoying to some.
Decla - I feel the relationship here would be rocky considering Pestilence is Pestilence and they spread all kinds of sickness and destruction. But he is a chill guy who wouldnt mind chilling out if asked nicely. hes weird that way x3
Nalia - honestly seems like a really fun person. Pestilence would enjoy their company a lot uwu
Sionis - Doesn’t mind Sionis, chill, does a good job at their role. Even Pestilence loves Justice, especially when it happens to those who deserve it.
Mecor - Elder to be/New Elder, Pestilence would welcome her with open arms. He enjoys meeting new people. Would think shes a swell lady, lovely family.
Logium - Time is Time and Time is a friend to some and an enemy to others. But Pestilence has no issue with the Lord of Time in fact finds them quite entertaining and such uwu
War:
Risus - is a torn between hating and wanting to help them in whatever they do. War is a complicated person and War does as War does.
Trituna - I think these two would have a tough time getting along.
Conllium -  I imagine she has tried to fight Conllium but failed to lift them cause she would try that. I imagine she would give up though and pass out next to them asleep x3
Cundolili - would want to know who this is as soon as possible. Could be a wrestle buddy you never know. x3
Trema/Astute - might find Trema kind of boring.
Decla - Wanna wrestle...at least? I think they would see Decla as a possible buddy. Something about Decla screams friend to War.
Nalia - I dont imagine these two would get along very well. War might not like how peppy Nalia is or seems. and Would try and void them.
Sionis - Wants to fight but in like a...friendly way. War isn’t so good at understanding friendship but she would Sionis as a possible ally and friend.
Mecor - Will ask if she wants to fight as a sort of welcome and to see how tough she is. You can turn her down its okay plus she will be told thats not how we welcome people into the council. Stop asking everyone to fight (its like that zodiac make up video where one of the zodiacs constantly is like wanna fight)
Logium - Gets the weirdest feeling they have to be super respectful. So shes gonna try.
Famine: ( the least liked of the horsemen)
Risus - eh...could get along actually. Famines is more leaning towards that side.
Trituna - Famine is the type fo fuck up balance. He and Trituna I dont believe would get along very well...
Conllium - He wouldn’t care for Conllium no reason specified why though
Cundolili - Wouldnt really have an opinion as of yet.
Trema/Astute - Wouldn’t have too much of an opinion but would tolerate Trema/perhaps even find some enjoyment in talking with them though Famines not much of a talker.
Decla - The things Famine does is in no way a sensible disaster...I imagine Decla would be trying to fix whatever damage Famine does. So they wouldnt get along either. Would find Decla annoying
Nalia - Would find Nalias outlook and attitude irritating. Too much positivity.
Sionis - For some reason I dont see these two getting along. I see Famine being kind of a dick to Sionis, it could be that Sionis is for justice/protection and such and Famine is...well Famine. So he would see Sionis as someone who would try and stop him from what hes doing.
Mecor - a newcomer who was fated to come. Hed share his piece about the Elders with Mecor and be on his way. Hes not very welcoming....so just ignore him the others will tell Mecor the same uwu
Logium - Mysterious being who Famine has honestly never seen. And hed be lying if he said he wasn’t a tad bit nervous to meet them. Something about this elder would send a slight shiver down his spine.
Hope:
Risus - Oh crumbling biscuits....not another one.
Trituna - You are the elder of Balance, she would consider it an honor to meet them. Hope loves many of the elders like Trituna. Would show them respect uwu
Conllium - definitely someone she would fall asleep next to them. She would also go and talk with them a lot. Conllium is such a wonderful elder. uwu
Cundolili - Would adore Cundolili (- uwu-) even if their presence means Conllium is no longer around which would sadden Hope. She would welcome Cundolili with open arms.
Trema/Astute - somewhat nervous around but would get used to them uwu Knows they are not a bad elder like Risus or Zerneboh
Decla - This is a being who works very hard and deals with a lot. They deal with Risus and who knows what else. Definitely deserves respect
Nalia - Would Love Nalia, absolutely love them. Would definitely want to spend time with Nalia the most.
Sionis - Sionis would make Hope a bit nervous but she knows they are just a serious person. She would trust them and find them quite reliable uwu look up to them even.
Mecor - Would love to meet her, cant wait to meet her. Shes heard nothing but good things!
Logium -A very wise and calm being, Who Hope would feel compltely safe around. uwu Definite trust from the start.
Space Grandpa:
Risus - Would absolutely dislike them
Trituna - is someone they would enjoy being around. Space Grandpa isnt always one for talk but Trituna is someone they would enjoy spending time with regardless if they talked or not.
Conllium - Is one who would visit Conllium, unfortunately would not be able to sit beside them and sleep. Too big. x3 but They would love to chat with them, spend time with them.
Cundolili - welcome with open.....tentacles? arms? claws? something x3 they will welcome them. Offer any assistance if they so wish for it.
Trema/Astute - would remind him of The Void,
Decla - would feel bad they have to deal with Risus so much. Would offer an ear to listen. Space Grandpas a good listener. Definitely would see Decla as a possible friend.
Nalia - Loves how Nalia is, loves their attitude and personality.
Sionis - Admire Sionis, Dependable, a good person. Sees them as an equal like other elders among them.
Mecor - Would be welcoming, more so than normal with others. Mecor is family after all.
Logium -equal footing. A good being and wise, mysterious
Void: (This is more of how void would describe them..as Void is neutral to everyone)
Risus - one who causes trouble
Trituna - Balance, you are very important to the multiverse.
Conllium - a peaceful being
Cundolili - a young one, welcome
Trema/Astute - perfect neutrality
Decla - hard worker
Nalia - peppy one, they were once that way. It is nice to see another
Sionis - a being who watches, reliable.
Mecor - fated to be.
Logium - Father time is a thing theyve heard humans say. But Time is Time
Hope this was good~ uwu sorry I know its a lot

Note on Astral Projection
This is not a post on how to do it, this is a post on reassurance for those whom have projected elsewhere and encountered... Oddities.
Even after years of periodic deep meditation, experimentation with psychoactive chemicals (do Not recommend), learning from yogis and gurus amongst other carny like mentors, and just my own practice in relatives terms, i cannot rightfully say that i am considered "experienced". There are no academic parameters that state you are experienced, there arent true degrees to attain nor controls to compare the experiences to. So, mind what i am about to express based on the principle of my own judgement (as biased and convolulted as it might seem...)
Let me first state that one of the principles, one of the sacred laws i follow (i follow about 13 give or take) is Tacere or "To be Silent". Its one of 4 (or five depending on the practice) rules of i learned as The Laws of the Magus. By the element water 🔻, it warns the practitioners on sharing their meditative or astral experiences. It expresses the urgency about refraining from speaking to others about your magical workings, lest they seek to undo you. Accept that sometimes it's better to say nothing and discipline yourself to avoid unneeded consequences.
With that in mind, Im not sharing any of my bizarre experiences. Its not something i talk about just because the very few times i did, i scared people. Most people dont want affirmation of their eldritch nightmares existence and prefer covering their heads with a sheet until that notion goes away. They dont like it when you tell them for what reasons you have the opinions that you do based off the principle of fluid and subjective factors. People scare easily even those who have been involved with the craft for decades.
Not every practitioner is comfortable with cross dimensions or wyrds or aethers or voids or anything outside the first three of the sephiroth and it is not your responsibility to show them that. Opening doorways just to say, "look what i found! This my new friend so-n-so in the xth sephirah. They like coffee and metaphysics." Dont do that... The amount of eyes usually scare the jesus into people whom are unaccustomed to working with extra planes. Even if you try to explain that your wrinkly, tentacle bearing, eyeball covered friend is equivalent to a stressed out ritalined strained and caffeine soaked college student. All they see is this mess of wiggliness too excited to speak coherently and may wreak havoc on their mind by chanting numbers.
Like in this dimension, understand that some of your friends are xenophobic because their upbringing taught them no different and dropping them into the middle of a advanced session of nothing but mathematics and tentacles will freak them out.
So, keep your dreams, travels, and other experiences to yourself or just use complicated metaphors to skip over the slimey bits.
Now, if youre a beginner and you are unsettled or excited by those possibilities that i had mentioned... I made the previous up. Those are just examples of what you *may* experience when traveling through some of the more intangible sephirah. Essentially, you would want to stay in the first two or three to start with. And when i say the first two, i mean the one you currently exist in (our plane the first sephirah) should be thoroughly explored and extrapolated from before you seek answers in another place.
Imagine travelling to a foreign country because you heard that the scenery is amazing without first researching the tourist points, land, people, or even knowing the name of the country. You just hop in transit and arrive in some random hamlet asking about hidden knowledge only confusing and frustrating the locals. You never learn anything and you were bit by several insects and now your tummy hurts. Same principle. Research and look into the experience you wish to have or beings you wish to encounter then come up with ways to attain that which you seek so that whatever you encounter has a foundation for which it can build upon.
Even if you're exploring the forest down the street from your house, be prepared to encounter local wildlife and stock up on supplies to ensure your safety. Im not only saying to supply honey to the fae that live there, im saying make sure you wear proper attire and have a snack and some water before hand and on you.
One of the things i have experienced from some of my more lengthy and arduous meditations that if i hadn't done proper preparations i came out of it so hungry I felt sick or so thirsty that i chugged water like i had hiked a desert trail. But if I had eaten light meal and properly hydrated im not distracted by my body's exasperation therefore allowing me to reflect upon what i had just experienced instead of rushing to the nearest open box to satisfy my afflicted hunger.
Now, i covered safety lets mold the prospect of successful projections.
The first three sephiroth (not including the one we live in) are much like what we know since it is so very close to the mundane that concepts will over lap....
As a side note, if you have absolutely no idea what the hell the sephirah and sephiroth are i suggest to research that. In short, its a conceptual design mainly used for categorizing fields of astral and celestial magic or manifestations based off of the Kabbalic Tree of Life. There are ten in total. We live in number 10 while the "godhead" resides in number 1. The typical astral projections travel to 7, 8, 9. The sephiroth 4,5,6 come directly before a "veil" that separates the top three from the rest of the tree. 1, 2, 3 are, in simple terms, existential planes that embody creation... That's the basics for the purpose of this post but there is a ton more on the tree of life and should be one of the first things you look into if you are interested in continuing the astral/wyrd/aether/celestial/sephiroth/extraplanar studies.
As i mentioned 7,8,9 are the sephiroth you'll spend most of your time projecting into. You really dont have to go much further from them, as all the sephiroth are, they are infinite in the universes that occupy them and you will find much of what you're searching for within them without confusing the f*ck out of yourself.
Sephiroth 4,5,6, are higher up on the tree and farther away from 10 but closer to 1. They are extremely intangible and physics does not make sense nor do the beings that live there. If you find yourself in the mess of geometric shapes and warped concepts, the most i can advise is not panic. Act like its the first time you watched the willy wonka tunnel scene and reflect on the horrors after coming out. Most likely you wont learn anything other than the thought of "Huh... That was weird and terrifying."
In any regard, you shouldnt share the experiences you met in 7-4 just because if it freaked you out imagine how others would respond if they even thought you came up with that on your own. They will stare at you the same way they would stare at any other intangible horror.
In short, travelling extraplanarly will change you. No ifs or buts about it, the concepts and images you will encounter will separate you from those who spend their entire lives in the bottom sephirah. Its both good and bad in my opinion. Good if you find what you seek, bad in the sense that you will be alone in these expiriences.
Last thing, this Doesn't make you superior. There is nothing wrong with those who practice the craft and decline to travel through the gates and rings. There is nothing wrong with refraining from the extra dimensional and wyrd. Not everyone has the need or desire to do so.
As i had said, each sephirah is infinite. There are many universes within the tangible places to explore without even having to leave our own sephirah.
Keep that in mind. Understand that projecting and manifesting isnt a vertical sensation. It can be a lateral exploration just as easily. You dont have to just go up, shifting side to side can be as informative and interesting.
As something selfish of me, im open to reading any of your experiences if you wish to tell some one. You can dm me or tag me in your posts about your projection stories and i will happily read them. No judgement, simply curiosity on my part. If you want me to comment on the experience just ask me in the post/message. Other wise i wont.
Have Safe Travels ☺
