any advice for nursing students/new nurses?
When you buy a stethoscope, get it engraved with your name, I literally cannot tell you how much that has saved my ass. All stethoscopes look the exact same, even if you think you got a unique looking one, and they're super easy to lose, and they're a hundred plus bucks. engraved!!
There's literally so many acronyms, and everyone assumes the acronyms they know are universal, and no one is correct. Get comfortable with the phrase "remind me what [x] stands for" when someone rattles off a string of letters you don't recognize. (sometimes the person talking to you doesn't know either! whoops!!)
Ask questions all the time actually. This is the ideal time to do so and everyone will be scared if you don't.
For straight cathing patients, you can usually get a lidocaine gel that numbs the urethra, which helps with discomfort. Also for straight cathing patients, if they have a vagina, make sure you visualize the urethra before you start the whole process. You don't want to have to find it later when you're sterile and can't touch anything.
If you've never used a bed pan, it is surprisingly much harder than you would expect. familiarize yourself with them before you have to place one for the first time.
At the end of every shift, find one thing you can point at that you did and were proud of. You can be proud of helping a patient get up and walk. You can be proud that your patient's pain never got above a 4. You can be proud that you helped out another nurse's patients while they were dealing with an admit. You can be proud that you didn't get visibly mad at a patient who was screaming at you. You can be proud that you got to the end of the shift and everyone is alive. You can be proud that you realized you were in over your head and called for help. Find something each shift to be proud of, and the corollary to that is behave in ways that make it easier to be proud of yourself when you look back at the way you spent your shift
get good shoes.
prioritize sleep.
meal prep
pick a few things about yourself that are harmless, not at all intimate small talk. I also have a few fun facts about myself that I love to talk about but don't overstep any boundaries (stuff like that I'm from Virginia, that I'm part of float pool so I can tell you how this room compares to others in the hospital, I have dyed hair and people love talking about that). Draw boundaries to be personable but not inappropriate. Genuinely, practice small talk. You have small talk when things are going fine so you can have Big Talk when someone's breaking down crying or starts screaming in the hallway or wants to leave against medical advice or is furious that their visitors are gonna get searched on the way in. Build rapport before you need rapport.
Sort of similar to the last one, I try to care very deeply about my patients on shift and then forget about them when I go home. I debrief with my mom or Cyrus or my journal, and then I take a shower. The shower is my mental reset time. I tuck my nursona away and emerge as just some dipshit in a towel. Find whatever ritual helps you end your shift.
there are many ways to be a good nurse. sometimes you need a hardass. sometimes you need a cheerleader. sometimes you need a goofball. sometimes you need someone who doesn't chit chat but will always get your teeth brushed, your hands washed, and your hair braided before breakfast can even get to the floor, no matter how shortstaffed the floor is. sometimes you need someone who will talk to you at three in the morning about what the dying process is like. it is impossible to be all things to all patients. as a new nurse, you start by focusing on basic minimal competency, but pay attention to what parts of the job energize you, what parts come easy to you, and lean into those. get competent at the things you are bad at, get passionate about the things you are good at, and you'll have a better chance of building a nursing practice that you can keep up with the shit times start.
the shit times can start anytime but oooh boy do they tend to arrive at your six month mark.

Today marks three years of Dianthus existing! I made my first concept sketches for her on 11/20/23 💖 this also means it's been three years of Diathesterius! I sometimes use the date I uploaded Dia to toyhouse, the 21st, as the anniversary date just in case I'm late... but I managed to finish colouring this <3 I had actually wanted to do something for this earlier in the month, I even made some very elaborate plans for it... but it ended up not happening! Which is okay 💞 but I still wanted to draw a little wedding piece... so I did! I'll make something fancier when I have more time later on... 💝 I used my own handwriting here for authenticity, but at some point... I'd like to be able to rewrite in Greek for More authenticity <3 Uncropped version (and long rambling post) under the cut 💕 I get a little Vulnerable so don't read it if you're gonna be mean or else I'll like Get You or something
Tumblr media
I've made posts in the past talking about why Theseus and Asterius mean so much to me, but I don't think I've made one on why Dianthus herself means so much to me.. so for her own third year anniversary, I'll do that here! before I begin...! the fruit in dia's hair here are from the strawberry tree, arbutus unedo. I associate the tree and its fruit with Theseus but... it's honestly been so long, I don't remember exactly why! Just that, for some reason, I imagine thathis childhood home had a tree of these fruit blossoming just outside his mother's room, and thus he has fond memories of it. Lady Dianthus... she who loves all things pink, actively hates celery, and still has a job at the library despite being so fogetful and clumsy... she who met Theseus and immediately became obsessed because it was the first interesting thing to happen to her- not a parent or someone she's close to, but herself! her first time feeling as if she had a true purpose. She who didn't understand Theseus' obsession with Asterius until meeting he Minotaur, and promptly decided "he's not scary? he's not scary at all! he's just a cow!" I've made sona and the likes before Dia of course, but she was the first in a long time who was truly meant to resemble me in all ways (except for the setting, of course...). I made her design simple so I would easily be able to redraw her, and gave her one of my favourite palettes pink and green and cream and gold. At first I really didn't expect to get that attached to her... I went months without drawing her after her initial creation. but the more I drew her the more I realized how much fun I was having with her...! It's funny looking back on it... originally I had a much more comedic idea for her story, and di not intend to ship her with Theseus in any serious way. It was going to be a completely one-sided love (with Dianthus taking the role of "crazed fangirl" - which she still is, in a way). I'm sure it isn't a surprise but it didn't take me long at all to start drawing ship art of them, creating artworks and writing of Theseus and Asterius was a self indulgent joy for me, so why not selfship art too? I ended up invested, of course. Using Dia I put a lot of my own feelings into a story; a sense of otherness, her loneliness, feeling lost and out of place. I had removed it later on because I felt uneasy with how vulnerable it was, but at one put I had placed one of the most traumatic events of my life into Dia's story- sometimes I think about adding it back, because I know giving her an oppurtunity to open up about it with her beloveds would be something beneficial to Me irl(!). But that's besides the point here... she's a stubborn girl, sweet but arrogant is my usual go-to descriptor for her; that's how I think of myself too, just based on what I've been told (I have a hard time thinking of myself as nice, though others always say so to me...). That may be part of why I tend to look for those features in (fictional!) lovers... something feels good to me about being able to butt heads due to this shared traits, but still coming together and making amends despite it. I do think it's a little funny that the sonas I've gotten the most attached to so far- Dianthus, and now Nerine- have some sort of theme of death with them. Dianthus is literally a ghost, and Nerine is metaphorically one (and maybe liteally, if I ever make up my mind...). Maybe that's just fitting for me, though... hmm... I'm not sure what else I want to say here... I think of Dianthus as "Me but in Hades Game / Ancient Greek context." Of course some events that happen in her life didn't happen to me, or, sometimes, I dramatize it (Dia's mother leaving her and her father to become the wife of a god was inspired by the fact that for the first few yers of my life, my parents were separated... but they always had a positive relationship with one another! Unlike Dia's parents), but she's become a big par
t of me all the same. Just as I am happy and hoping to spend many more years with Theseus and Asterius, I hope to spend many more years with her as well. i think that's all I'll write for now <3 if you read this thank you for being curious enough about me to be interested in all this 😭
btw, here's the first ever post of her... (yes thats my priv </3 i briefly unlocked it to search for this... don't try and follow me over there though it's crazy over there)

You're antsy again, right when he'd thought he'd gotten you comfortable enough so you wouldn't try and escape anymore.
But your little outdoor adventures aren't of the usual kind either- you definitely stay in close proximity to his home, never even reach the streets, always rather roaming the rooftops, and he can see on his little GPS tracker on his laptop that you're somewhat pacing around.
Something's off, and he needs to know what.
When he reaches the rooftops, it's a little windy. Not too chilly, but a nice fresh wind blows, sun setting- and there you are, rolling on your back in the bright golden sun. "You're getting your clothes dirty." He comments, and your tail snaps up at his words, as you roll again to sit on your knees now, some dead leaves caught in your hair- but one flick of your ear and its gone with the wind, while you look at him like you're conflicted.
"I wanna sleep here tonight." You tell him, and his brows lower in confusion.
He's keeping his distance- both because he's not sure if you'll try and jump because down the line it wouldn't surprise him considering your rather... spontaneous nature, and also because your body language screams at him to stay away.
"Its gonna be cold." He tries to reason. "Why'd you wanna sleep outside?" He wants to know, and you become nervous at that, moving your legs around a little to adjust the position in which you're sitting-
And that's when the wind turns a but, making him catch your scent.
Oh.
"Yeah well- you know.." you stammer, nervous. "Even if- you know, you pick up stuff for me, it'll take almost an entire day to, you know, make me not stink anymore.." you mumble more or less, not looking at him.
"You don't stink, idiot." He clicks his tongue, before sighing. This isn't something he'd planned ahead for. "I can still go downtown and pick some shit up if you tell me what you typically take, and I promise my hands stay to myself at night." He tells you.
"Hm yeah cause it's easy for you.." You say almost disappointed.
"What do you mean?" He wants to know, and you turn around at that, your back facing him as you hug your legs.
"Nothin'." You huff stubbornly. "Go get me some Feline Help, or ChangeWay, I don't care which you choose." You mumble almost incoherently into your knees, drawing something in the dirt on the ground with a stick.
"Both of those are-" he argues instantly, well aware that both brands will leave you with heavy side effects, but now you snap your head around, hissing at him.
"Just go! Leave me!" You yell at him, and he forgives your behavior for once because it's not really in your control right now. Preheat can be extremely stressful to hybrids especially when you're used to being on medication for it usually.
Though he has a feeling there's got to be a reason you're especially on edge with him. You should be the exact opposite- so why do you seem to absolutely despise his presence right now?
"Can I leave you here without having to run after you to God knows where after I come back?" He asks, and you glare at him actually angry this time.
"I'm not stupid, Detective Min." You make sure to pronounce his job title and name especially as you talk. "I'm a walking bullseye target for anyone other than you." You huff, and he squints his eyes at that.
"I see." He suddenly says, relaxing. "I get it now."
"Oh my GOD just go and get my drugs, leave!" You yell now, throwing a small rock at him- though you only prove his point, because you clearly intentionally miss him by a lot, no intention to hurt him despite your bitter tone.
"Dont worry, I'll get them." He says, not walking closer, but taking off his jacket before he throws it at you. "But you're wrong, just so you know." He has the audacity to smirk, especially when you grow wide eyed and surprised, entire world view shifted as he gives you an answer to a question you didn't even ask, while he walks back down the metal stairs to his apartment, leaving you alone with your thoughts and his scent around you.
He's absolutely not interested in you-
Or so you thought, it seems.

🏘️
For Jojo, Shishi, and Ezzie (The Twst OCs ;w;) for the OC Ask meme)
Similarly to the last post!! This is color coded: me/narrator as default, blue as Jocia, and green as Ezra
🥣what's your favorite food?
"So this is some sort of interview? Alright then," Jocia gruffly responded, slouching over in her seat upon realizing the question was actually rather simple. She grinned, "Bulgogi's a fav. It's something my sister showed me when we were kids. Apparently she was trying to learn more about our family history or somethin', did a damn lot of research too."
"It's not something I looked much into myself, but I'm a complete sucker for anything barbecued or grilled. I think... Oh yeah, we tried it out on a camping trip. I stole some of hers off her plate," Jocia chuckled, scratching at the back of her head as she reminisced, "I gave her hell during that trip. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why we never did something like that again. Made it up to her later, though."
-
"Ooh! How fun!" The professor exclaimed with a sharp-toothed grin, "Let's see, should I go into detail? I don't see why not. You're supposedly looking into learning more about me after all, little sprout," He cheerfully pondered aloud, politely folding his hands in his lap.
"My favorite dish is Pasta Alla Gricia. It's absolutely divine. With most of the foods I like, they've unfortunately been changing and shifting in ways I'm simply not a fan of with the passage of time. BUT! With this? It's only gotten better since the first time I tried it one hundred years ago! I'll gladly buy you some sometime, little sapling. Oh! Perhaps I can get some for the whole class... Like a day of celebration after one of our competitions! It's important for student's to destress, after all!~" Ezra hummed to himself with a firm nod.
🥰do you think you're attractive?
"Uh..." The woman droned on, crossing her arms over her chest. She offered a casual nod after perusing her own thoughts, "Like, physically? Sure, yeah," She bluntly answered.
"It's not really something I've thought too much of before. I guess looking in the mirror and seeing how far I've come gives me something to be proud of. Especially since I'm... not the best at styling. Everyone else in the family got all that."
"But, hell, I've worked hard on myself. Even if working out and such is more of a chill hobby of mine, I'm still confident in how I'm built. Not to mention I can see little parts of the people around me in myself too, yeah? Like- an old friend of mine regularly helps me dye my hair, and I got my piercings at the same time as my brother. If I didn't like those parts of myself, it feels kinda like a dig on them too. No matter whatcha think anyway, there are gonna be people out there who think you're pretty sick."
"...Eh, I'm not good at getting all sappy."
-
Ezra blinked, his drawing his lips into a line. His brows furrowed, "This is a difficult question to be modest about, isn't it?" He awkwardly chuckled, bringing a hand up to massage his temple.
"Oh, I don't know. I have a lot of things I have to work on, truly. It's quite an ordeal. Not that I'm not proud of my appearance! After all, a lot of it was greatly inspired by my late father."
"...Ah! I forgot to mention- I'm a changeling fae, of course. I'm not the biggest fan of shapeshifting, however, so I try my best to correlate my appearance to my adoptive human family. In that way, I suppose topics such as 'attractiveness' are a bit more complicated to someone like me, dear," He finished, dodging and weaving around the actual question through his rambles.
🏘️where's your happy place?
Jocia brightened up a bit at this, smirking as the answer came easily, "With my siblings," she replied briefly.
"They're fun as hell to be around. We got each other's backs. They're a bunch of little shits sometimes, but we know each other better than anyone else," She paused, "At least... most of us. More of a reason for me to get home, as if I didn't need any more of one already."
-
"My classroom, of course! Oh, it's so fun!" The teacher excitedly replied, eccentrically taking the time to pop up out of his seat and lean over the table, "It's where I spend most of my time! Working with students in bloom, watching their talents grow, listening to my favorite stars sing broadway, tending to my adorable potted plants..." He babbled on endlessly, happily explaining to no end.
"...I haven't been here for very long, that is true, but it has very quickly become my favorite place to be. So much so I often get caught up in things and forget to attend meetings. I suppose me and the other fae individuals here have that in common... I'm working on that, however! Got to make sure my memory is in top condition!"
"Is that it? 'Kay. Be seeing ya."
-
"This was very pleasant! Thank you kindly for inviting me."
Ask Game!
Yuu Shi's responses are here

I always love hearing about other people's D&D games and I was wondering if you had like a method for how you plan out your sessions? In a slump rn myself so looking for some inspo lol
ok so i need to get better at this again (depression made me a way more 'seat of my pants' DM) BUT i basically lay out a "timeline" of main story points the party will eventually hit, and place "questlines" there. Essentially like a tree of quests and their progression in a videogame. This is NOT always detailed by any means but it helps me get a linear view of what's going on. If you run pre-made modules, this is the book stuff. My current game started out this way before I went "I like doing this myself" and went completely off the rails.
Then I go into the main details of the questline. Stuff like where it is, if there's going to be new lore introduced, the actual contents of the quest itself and it's requirements, etc. My players and myself are big on RP, so I also try to always make sure the quest will have interest for Story or Character reasons. If it doesn't directly push the plot in a major way, will it still give the party interesting interactions with each other and npcs? Are there going to be any new threads for some of the game's mysteries?
Then I also ask what in the questline is going to play to the party's habits and strengths. I admit this is WAY looser, and again kind of wraps around into "what would be cool RP for them" - but for example; knowing an encounter with nobles will give our noble-born artificer some additional lore, since he understands the city's politics.
After that, I do sometimes "script" certain lines of NPC dialogue or location and item descriptions. Stuff I'll be narrating that I want to make sure has a certain weight to it, or to flow well. You might not need to do this if you speak succinctly, but I find my brain stutters when trying to describe scenery on the spot, so it usually helps to write it. After that I make the session from there!
For me that usually includes picking out "splash screens" for the conversation backgrounds in our game, drawing new npc portraits if I have the time (it started because some of my players have aphantasia/some former players were new, so I drew PC and NPC portraits to make RP easier to visualize - then it just became the Only Way I Want To Do It Now LOL), and making maps. I use Epic Isometric for my maps, highly recommend. I get most of my splash screens from Art Station, but I have to say obviously that's unwise if you're streaming a game. Same goes for using pre-existing art as character/NPC art -- I know myself and other artists don't care if someone uses our stuff for their home game that no one's ever gonna see. I plan to release some of my portraits in packs one day free of use though.
Here's the RP Backdrop kind of splashscreen I use in R20 (but you can make one in FVTT too, I've done it) and an Epic Iso map I threw together (the party tokens were drawn over Epic Iso assets. If you join their discord people make community edits constantly. I'm currently working on a project to color all the released decor assets)

[Please Read] I should not have to explain this
People, if you're going to chat with me, please, for the love of god, tell me your honest age. And don't lie, either, cause that's just worse in some ways.
Ok, so, I wound up chatting with somebody who I will not specify by as much as I can. We were having a cardiophile chat and we decided to take it to video so I can hear her heartbeat with a mic. Now, the thing is, I feel incredibly stupid right now. I mention wanting to see her chest, but only out of the expression of a wish cause I know a lot of people aren't always comfortable. To my surprise, she says yes and, her face, I won't give a single detail about especially of what made me tilt my head a bit but something made me think, 'wait, how old is this girl?' only to settle on the idea of, 'oh, maybe she's older than she looks', and for the love of god, I don't think that lightly, I had a reason to think that. Later she goes brb. She admits her parents caught her.
Jesus- alright, read carefully, yeah? I'm not gonna shift or place any full-on blame. At least by a little bit, this girl was the victim of being young and dumb, however she should not have done anything that would expose her identity or herself. And admittedly, I was stupid for not seeing the first potential sign. Don't ever even slightly think you could be wrong if it could mean the person on the other end is actually under 18. This girl never explicitly gave a sign or hint that she was underage, either, but that's not always a good excuse. Meanwhile, last I had a chat, I unintentionally made somebody uncomfortable as far as I can tell and I felt so guilty that I took a small break to sit on what I had made somebody feel. I finally get back into the swing of things with a new rule of only having a cardio-chat if somebody messages me first and this is what happens. I was really wrestling on how or even if I should post about this, but one thing I realized was that not saying a thing is probably worse.
I won't take another break for being just as foolish but I'm definitely gonna sit on this for a minute. I hate how it took me a minute to accept that she was a minor. I found myself thinking of every possible reason to tell me she was actually an adult at first, including if I should not think about it at all.
Again, for god's sake, be honest, responsible and tell your age first. I will not chat with minors. I will, however, post this under the risk that I'm not relaying my sincerity well enough (That's really one of my biggest fears when making a post like this, that I won't be able to verbally explain and show that I'm legit being serious and not trying to cover my own ass with a fake sense of remorse or something - but it's a fear we all have to face). I don't wanna look like a liar or like I'm shifting the blame or anything. But my final message in this post is about more than about taking responsibility for your actions and to tell me your real age before chatting with me or frankly, anybody: People who are growing up need to know that it's ok to explore and experiment, it's part of growing up, and of course it's fun - Hell, even I did it a little, I wasn't always an adult, you know, it's how I found the rest of my rhythm as a cardiophile - but Jesus H. Christ, we need to educate and teach them that there are lines to draw, like, don't chat with strangers - especially on anything sexual, be careful, make sure they know which lines not to cross or cross yet, and seriously: DO. NOT. SHOW. YOUR. FACE. The internet isn't the safest place yet. What's more important? How hard you drive the message home or what you relay and how you do it?

Had to look up "yandere"
You and your little obsession with Japan is so cute. I can't wait for you to tell me all about it.
I think you should get out of the house more... but the idea that you're gonna waste your time with your darling makes me sick.
Why can't you see how terrible they are? I've seen how they act around whitney. I've seen how brazen they are in the halls. How you keep giving them gifts. Drawing pictures for them. Making them feel special they don't deserve it!
You will be mine in my home. You ARE mine. I know everything about you! I know your schedule. Your life. I know every inch of your body even if I haven't been able to touch it. I know you.
And when you finnaly see the light and drop your misguided love for some LITTLE BITCH THAT DOESNT GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY. I'll be here for you. I'll take care of you like I should... you won't have to lift a finger...
... I got a little carried away.
Get some sleep tonight love...
- <3
don't call my beloved a bitch. fuck. you. you're just as bad as whitney! or even worse, since you're actively trying to interfere with our love!
sometimes, they do things that i don't like because they have to. the have debts to pay, and they're not as smart as me, so they can't just go by my routes of making money. it happens.
but you don't know anything about them. they're the opposite of 'terrible'. they saved me from bullies like you before! or, they cared enough to help me clean up after getting thrown around... (it's the same thing.) they always appreciate me and what i do for them. they love me back... they can just be shy in showing that, sometimes. that's why i have to be more drastic in my actions sometimes, just to combat that. our love isn't always something outsiders can understand. maybe you're just projecting your own feelings about yourself onto them.
...also, you didn't even know what a yandere was? you're so dense. i'm actually in shock. do you even know what anime is, then? or hentai? how am i supposed to explain things to someone who knows nothing?? ...and i'm not cute! you're just saying that because you're... that scared of me or something. you're just trying to make me seem less intimidating!
and now that you're telling me to sleep, that's making me want to stay up late. maybe to watch darling sleep again... or spend my night fucking the sex doll i have of them over and over and over again... or maybe catching up on some of the manga anons sent me before, imagining myself in the yandere's place in each one... anything besides doing what you told me to. because you're not even slightly in control of me. you're still just a fake yandere trying to scare me away from darling. it's still not going to work. asshole.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Smoke Screen chapter 10: Mission Complete
The next day, the Earthrealm warriors get ready to leave for home. The Special Forces and the ninjas all gathered for their final goodbyes, and the kahn and her sister walked forward, thanking the Earthrealm warriors once again.
Kitana: And as for you, Robin, what do you say? Will you stay here, or leave to join these warriors?
the caped crusader gave some thought, but then he looked over at Smoke, who nodded his head as if to say yes, and he finally made his decision.
Robin: actually, I think I might leave, your majesty, 'cause, I've sort of always wanted to see what lies beyond this Realm. I know I have duties here, but I'm leaving that behind me... For now at least, but I will send you messages when I can. I've met a lot of people in my life, but I may have found my real friends right here.
Kitana and Mileena looked at Robin, scoffing, but happy that their close friend made the right choice.
Kitana: Very well, you may go with them, but do send us messages once a week.
Robin: I'll try, your highness. Thank you. Now, shall we go, everyone? I can't wait to get to Earthrealm, see all the things I've missed out on.
Hanzo Hasashi used his amulet to open the portal to the Special Forces Headquarters.
Smoke: (to Robin) You made the right choice, Robin. Trust me. You'll love it.
The caped crusader smiled, and nodded his head. As they all walked through the portal, the image cuts to the inside of the S.F. HQ, where Sonya and Johnny waited for them.
Johnny: Yo, Cass, good job! We were worried, but we had faith. Nice job. And uh... Who's the new guy?
Kabal: (reffering to Robin) He's just a friend.
Sonya: Tremor.
Tremor: General.
Sonya: Can someone explain why this Black Dragon scumbag is here?
Robin: Hey, Rocky Road's a good guy now. Don't worry, I got some dirt on him that I can share. I got a feeling you're gonna like this.
Sonya: I'll be the judge of that. You guys need a ride home, or are you good?
Sub Zero: It is alright, we can make it back safely.
Cassie: Oh come on! At least stay for the party!
The other ninjas and Tremor looked at eachother and shrugged. Smoke was the only one to say yes. As the image fades out, we see Kano in the cell with a note book and a pencil, drawing something, as he is very good at it. He looks over to see his cell is right next to Hsu Hao's (hey, remember that guy? I do).
Kano: What did I do to deserve this.
Hsu Hao: You know, I can hear you.
Kano: I hope you can hear me.
The image fades away into the Outside of the HQ, close to midnight, with fireworks flying through the air and music playing in the background. Johnny and Sonya are dancing together, while Cassie is introducing Robin and Tremor to her team, the Kombat Kids. Kabal and Stryker are cracking jokes, and the other ninjas are drinking. Jax is talking to Kenshi and Sub Zero, and Hanzo Hasashi is watching over everything.
Tremor and Robin, somehow, still feels unwelcome. He makes a rock chair to sit on it alone for a bit. Smoke, ever observant, notices this and walks up to them.
Smoke: What's wrong, Robin? Are you alright? You're not having fun?
Robin: (looks at him) I am, I'm just not used to any of this, is all.
Tremor: And I just... I guess I don't feel welcome. I'm sorry, its just, I'm not the easiest person to talk to. I was never taught how to be friendly, and its kinda hard for me. Sorry. Maybe its a good idea if I leave.
Robin: Nonsense. Everyone needs a little help every now and then. If ya want, we could teach you how to fit in. Ya know, if you'd like. (Looks at Smoke) Would you?
Tomas: (looks at Robin and nods) Of course. But first, let's enjoy the party. Tomorrow we can get started. Sound good, Tremor?
Tremor: Yeah, yeah, sounds good.
Robin: (to Tremor) can I trust you with something, big fella?
Tremor: Yes.
Smoke: Great. I'll be over at the food section if you need me.
Robin: (leans in to whisper) you wanna know a secret? I'm not so sure about these people, myself. I'm not one for crowds. You wanna know why I came along? Its because I was hoping I could find a place I can belong. A family, since mine is lost to me. So, I'm gonna tell you this: I can understand how you're feeling. And we all need a friend or two.
Tremor: (in disbelief) Really?
Robin: Yeah, really. Trust me. I got plenty of dirt on these guys.
Tremor: Well, we have plenty of time to get to know eachother, and we can start tomorrow.
Robin: Agreed. (sticks out his hand) Partners?
Tremor: Sure. Why not? (shakes his hand)
And the image fades to next morning.
The next morning, everyone says their final goodbyes. Kabal gives everyone a quick high five, Robin and Tremor join the Special Forces and Smoke and Sub Zero head home to the Lin Kuei Temple.
Robin: (narrating) Well, that's basically it. The ninja dudes head back home, and Tremor and I go on a few duo missions, but occasionally with the Kombat Kids. After that, they give me the offer of a lifetime: a spot in their team. And, I don't know, they made it clear they really want me on their squad. So, I took it, and now, I'm a member of the Kombat Kids. We've been a team for three months, and they're a great team to be on. I've met many interesting people, and made some good friends. Tremor also got a fresh start, as the Special Forces erased any and all of his records of being in the Black Dragon, and now he's a S.F. Super solider. He and I sometimes take road trips to revisit our Lin Kuei buddies. I don't know what's gonna happen next, but one thing is certain: whatever the future brings, I'll be ready for it. I've lived a long life, and there's no better way to end it, than fighting alongside my best friends.
The End

i dont feel Great about sadposting on tumblr particularly when im not really on here much for much else but i dunno man theres that growing up a sad lonely teen on the internet itch that only angsting away on social media can fill. so im giving myself one (1) post because i feel that the state of my me is just plummeting so hard its a little scary. im safe and all im good at keeping myself safe but otherwise ive just fallen back to a point of anxiety agitation dread constant urgency constant restless energy intrusive thoughts to hell and back deeply deeply fragile which is not good at all when i work as a THERAPIST!!!! if i didnt have this holiday coming up i would really be having to consider taking extended sick leave bc i am finding it so hard rn to do therapy im getting triggered by stuff my clients bring to sessions, like not in session in session im totally fine but then later that night or whatever im finding myself experiencing things i havent experienced for years and im like huh wheres that coming from before remembering a client was speaking about it earlier. they warn you about this in therapy school but until now ive been solid enough to cope, like its obviously difficult working w people who experience [fill in the blank of whatever self destructive behaviour thought pattern whatever which i have in some cases very tenuously recovered from] but until now i have been able to stay grounded enough to empathise, draw from my own experiences to do so, but ultimately leave that in the therapy room when i go home. but now im like ouuufhhhhhh oughhhhh and i just feel so awful all the time like my resting heart rate has gone crazy which tbf might be the new adhd meds but man theres just so much shit going on. every time i get a text from literally anyone i want toccry because i feel like they are upset with me or going to ask something from me that i cannot give right now and actually it feels that responding to messages is something i cannot give right now but also im so desperate for connection because i feel so deathly so i am frantically spamming the discord with annoying shit like Hi!!!! Hi!!!!Hi!!!!! everything is so intense and urgent and shaky i feel explosive and out of control i need to MOVE HOUSES i need christmas break i need to lay down and for all of my friends to lay on top of me like a weighted blanket of friendship . we did that on my bday last year like 6 friends i think maybe ill ask for that again on my bday this year it was very calming. breathe breathe breathe baby youre brave you're strong you're doing it youre a bomb ass therapist and your colleagues are gonna love you for bringing them lebkuchen

Brace yourselves, I've got thoughts...
Okay, so I just rewatched Into the Mystic (11x11) and man oh man, the ending of this episode throws a weird left hook. This is kinda long, so under the cut we go...
So, as the boys wrap up the case and are saying goodbye to Mildred and Eileen, Mildred tells Dean that she's jealous of whoever she thinks he is obviously pining over. Earlier she'd given him the advice to follow his heart.
Pretty certain that the actual text is trying to talk about Dean's unsettling attraction to Amara. He had mentioned to Casifer earlier that there was something drawing him to her that might have been attraction or just the link formed by him carrying the MoC, but that he really wasn't certain what it was. So I think this is what all this is intended to be alluding to, but it kinda hits weird, ngl.
Now, I've seen folks who ship Destiel point to this as subtextual evidence that Dean is secretly pining for Cas. I do not find this to be a believable take simply because Dean is, let's face it, just not that into Cas, especially through this episode. Cas is possessed by Lucifer and acting hella strange, and Dean has barely noticed. So I'm scraping that theory right into the trash. Sorry, not sorry. That's just not a ship I can get onboard with.
But, and hear me out, if we look at the last Act of the episode we could put an entirely different ship spin on this.
Sam: You were right, by the way. Getting back on the job, it... It helped. Dean: Wait. Say that again. The -- that part about me being right. Sam: You're an idiot. Dean... When I was with Lucifer, he, um... He showed me things. It was like a highlight reel of my biggest failures. Dean: Yeah, he was messing with you. That's what he does. Sam: Give me a sec. I should've looked for you. When you were in Purgatory, I... I should've turned over every stone. But I didn't. I stopped. And I've never forgiven myself for it. Dean: Well... I have. Hey. That's in the past, man. What's done is done. All that matters now, all that's ever mattered, is that we're together. So... Shut up and drink your beer. You gonna be able to sleep tonight? Sam: Yeah. Yeah, I think so. What about you? Dean: Well, I still got some ringing going in my head, but nothing some good music can't wash out. Sam: You know, I still can't figure that out. I mean, Banshees go after the vulnerable, right? So why did it go after you? Dean: You're overthinking it. It was going after Mildred, it saw my gold blade, acted out of self-defense. Simple. Sam: Yeah You're probably right. Dean: I'm always right. Sam: Yeah, yeah. Dean: Night. Sam: Night.
So a classic brother heart-to-heart, complete with beers. Sam apologizes to Dean for not looking for him while he was in Purgatory, Dean forgives him and says, "All that matters now, all that's ever mattered, is that we're together."
Just after Dean says the bit about music washing out the ringing in his head, Sam stands up and starts to walk out of the room. Now, we can't really see Dean's face, camera is off behind and to the left of him, but we can see that his head stays up, he is looking in Sam's direction, and we can see his eyelashes. His head doesn't turn to either side, not even when Sam starts talking to him again, so he was watching Sam. His eyes look down and up a couple times as Sam turns back towards him. After Sam says "Night" and walks down the hall, Dean sits at the kitchen table and looks fucking worried.
In Sam's room we see Sam place a brochure for the retirement home the case was at into a box of mementos he has that has old photos of him and Dean and the school play samulet., along with an old baseball, pack of playing cards, a zippo, a pocketknife. The implication is, that maybe he and Dean will retire to Oak Park one day.
Tumblr media
Then we see both of them, in their separate rooms, getting into bed. Dean gets in on the left side of his bed, Sam gets in on the right side of his. Dean lays there for a couple seconds, still obviously worried, and then sits up on the side of the bed again. He then makes this face, does this thing with his mouth that, I swear to god, is him remembering a kiss. Then he rubs both hands back and forth over his hair, like he's scrubbing at his thoughts and full on fucking broods. End of episode.
So even though we got like a lot of heavy co-dependent brother things in these few minutes, I'm still 100% certain Dean was thinking about Amara's kiss and is deeply troubled by whatever the hell kind of hold she has on him. He's not into her, but he is definitely feeling a pull and it is bothering him. That IS the text here.
But, there was still the way this last Act was shot that sends some pretty mixed signals. Because I didn't exaggerate any of this, I just watched it about 12 times to make sure I was remembering correctly. This is shot in a way that if you hadn't seen episode 9, would legitimately looked like Dean was vulnerable because of something to do with Sam. The two of them being mirrored by and compared to romantic couples is a long standing tradition of the show, and this looks like another example of that, is filmed like an example of that, but isn't actually about that, which is... weird, right?
Like, I could spin off on wincesty thoughts about what this scene is implying and it would be really easy to do, because the show's got some major wires crossed where these two's relationship is concerned.
So, yeah, those are my thoughts about that, make of it what you will.

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly.
Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)
First of all, bold of you to assume this blog has got that many interactive followers for me to be like "Oh yes you're one of my favorite followers" XD Most people like posts, some reblog, but few actually interact like commenting or adding comments on tags when they reblog things, or send asks (I can't guess who are the anons lol) or even in DMs. I'll send some around but it surely won't be 10 XD
Second, I HAD A WALL OF TEXT DONE HERE BUT THERE WAS A QUICK POWER SURGE AND MY DESKTOP COMPUTER SHUT DOWN JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT DONE TYPING AND WAS CHECKING FOR TYPOS. I'm not gonna type all that shit again, sorry. Have the short version.
1- I like how easy I am to engage in conversation, at least when it's about something of my interest. Makes it easier to make new friends.
2- I like how I have a somewhat healthy relationship with my parents since early childhood, they decided it was best to build mutual trust so I wouldn't give them trouble when growing up and they were correct. The only trouble I gave them as a teenager was that I wouldn't leave home, I'd rather stay inside and draw XD Mom was desperate for me to go hang out with friends.
3- I like how STUBBORN I am. And I use it for the good. Don't try me. I've spent over 8 years in Graphic Design college even if the course was supposed to last only 2 years but I was a very slow learner and had someone else sabotaging me all the fucking time for me to fail classes AND STILL I WAS PRESSING ON. Just imagine how stubborn I can be to make someone feel loved and worthy. DON'T TRY ME, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
4- I like being an artist and the opportunities I had so far in life because of it. I've performed singing to over 7k people, I've performed with the biggest Digimon cosplay group in Brasil to pay tribute to Kouji Wada, I've made irl and online friendships that are currently lasting over a decade, I've made countless people smile when seeing my drawings. If you ever smiled at one of my drawings, thanks for enjoying it because it makes me happy and is definitely something I like about myself.
5- I like being honest. When I say something, I mean it. My Brazilian friends have this inner joke that I only work with the truth XD

heyyy its me, again
i was wondering if you could write something with billy lenz (or any characters really) comforting a male or gender neutral reader who has covid or general fatigue? im having extreme billy lenz brainrot rn and covid is kicking my ass too but on the bright side it gives me time to myself and lots of time to draw :> also my new mechanism is now whenever you write i return the favour in art
Well you don't have to draw anything for me in return I do this for fun :) Also I'm sorry to hear you're sick right now being sick is never fun. I'm also still recovering from my oral surgery which is super dumb because I should be over it by now. Anyway I have some comfort head cannons for you my vampire in Satan.
Slashers taking care of their sick s/o
Includes: Billy Lenz, Herbert West and Carrie White
Warnings: Mentions of vomit
Billy Lenz
When he stops getting your visits he's gonna get worried and call to see what's happening. When he finds out your sick he's relocating to stay in your room.
He want's to help the best he can but that's not gonna be much when other people are at the house. He'll do small things like change out your ice packs/ help wipe away sweat if you have a fever, keep you warm if you're cold, clean out whatever bowl/ bucket you use if you have to throw up, etc.
"Billy's gonna take care of pretty piggy. Pretty Piggy's gonna be ok." He'll say things like that often while holding your hand.
Will sneak in a lot of food and water so you don't have to get up so often.
If you need to change he'll help you do it and push aside his perv nature for a moment.
Will keep his talking to himself pretty quiet for you and will make sure you get enough rest.
Won't be much help if you need to bathe for whatever reason. He's sorry Y/n he just can't be seen by anyone else in the house.
Herbert West
He's obviously a doctor so probably the best one to treat you out of all the slashers. He'll first scold you for being careless enough for getting sick while taking your temprature and figuring out what exactly you have.
Acts like he doesn't really care but if you ask him to bring you anything he will do it for you and if he finds you getting out of bed for anything other than the bathroom or to get something in your room he's going to scold you again.
Will give you proper medication if needed and will make sure to keep you relaxed. Will bring you ice packs or extra blankets if needed.
He's obviously not gonna get grossed out if you vomit and will probably push for you to wash out your mouth after.
I feel like he's asexual so helping you change isn't that big of a deal to him. Of course he finds you hot it's just in a different way.
Will clean you up if you're getting really sweaty or will run you a bath and help you into and out of the tub with his eyes closed.
Carrie White
Carrie's always had to take care of herself if she ever got sick because her mother said she was "fighting demons" or whatever that woman thinks.
She'll check up on you often and will keep you warm/cool and comfortable. If your head hurts she'll keep the lights low and natural and will be very quiet for you.
I feel like she's pretty good at cooking so she will make you home made soup and tea. She knows a lot of natural remidies for things because I just know that her mother is against any kind of medication at all. But if you ask she can get you actual medication at the store.
She's get very flustered and awkward if you ask for help changing or bathing. The most she'll do is hand you your new clothes with her eyes closed and take your old ones away and take you into and out of the bathroom.

Expecting
Tumblr media
Pairing: Cash Wheeler x Reader
Summary: You're feeling sick and Cash gets worried so he takes you to the doctor.
WC: 794
You don't know how you did it, but somehow you caught the stomach bug from hell. One day you had been traveling with Cash and Dax to an indie show, and the next you were going home by yourself because you couldn't go more than an hour without puking. Cash had finished his show and then come straight home to you where he'd been taking care of you for the past week. You felt bad about it, especially since you knew there were more important things for him to be doing. However, he insisted that taking care of you would always be his number one priority. It had been ever since he put that shiny diamond engagement ring on your finger a mere two months ago.
"Alright, come on and get dressed, we've got a doctor's appointment to get to," Cash said. You looked at him for a moment, as if you didn't understand what he had told you. Usually Cash wasn't overly assertive with you, but he definitely was now. "I have been worried sick about you. Dax said that it'd be smart to get you into the doctor's to make sure that there's nothing serious wrong. I am sorry about going behind your back, but I know that you hate the doctor."
Usually, you would have argued against going to the doctor with Cash, but you had been so sick that there was no point. You were miserable enough to have made your own appointment. Cash gave you privacy to get dressed and took the opportunity to warm the car up for you. It didn't get too cold where the two of you lived, but the winter had been sort of cruel these past few weeks. Cash definitely had a much harder time dealing with it than you did though. He wasn't equipped for cold temperatures, and it was showing the longer that this weather anomoly went on.
Cash dropped you off at the doctor's and pulled the car around by himself. The two of you sat in the waiting room together. You thought it was nice that Cash was trying so hard not to be nervous, but it was hard for him. The idea that you were seriously ill with something had come up in your mind earlier in the week, but you had let it go pretty quickly. There was no point in worrying yourself over something so big if it seemed unlikely. You did all of the things right with your lifestyle to avoid coming into such big problems so young. You understood that not everything could be controlled, but you tried to give yourself the best chance you could.
"Ms. Y/l/n, right this way," a nurse said. Cash came along with you as they brought you back for a quick blood draw and a few quicker tests. He held your hand nervously in the doctor's actual office as the two of you waited for the results of the faster tests. You knew that you'd get an email with your blood test results later on in the week.
"Alright, well I have some very good news for the two of you," the doctor said. Cash sat forward in his seat to listen in. "Y/n, you are not sick. In fact, you are one of the healthiest people I have had the pleasure of seeing these past couple of months. The stomach issues that you have been experiencing these few days are morning sickness. Congratulations, you're pregnant."
"Pregnant?" you asked. The doctor nodded and handed over a slip of paper with your results on it. Cash read them over your shoulder. You glanced at him when you had finished reading them. You didn't know what to expect from him as a reaction, but he was in tears as he read it over and over again. "Cash?"
"It's okay, um, I'm okay," Cash cleared his throat. "Thank you doctor. I mean it, thank you. Y/n, I think we're gonna need a bigger place."
"You're okay with this? We're gonna have to push our wedding date back a bit," you told him.
"Of course I'm okay with this. I am already getting to marry the woman of my dreams, and now our baby is going to get to be at the wedding. This couldn't be any happier of an ending for me if I'd written it out myself," Cash told you. You were a little nervous about being a parent, but you were more than confident in Cash's abilities. He was already so good with Dax's daughter. As you walked out of the doctor's office, you started hoping and praying that you would be so lucky as to have a daughter that Cash could bond with so strongly.

overall thoughts about the country girls i've been drawing sometimes
what is this?: country humanizations with focus on Russia, America and China. tagged "nothetalia", ie "not-hetalia". maybe i'll come up with a better name one day
the overall concept: it's focused on international politics, so the characters' behavior is more alligned with their country's behavior on the world stage rather than with national stereotypes. modern-day focused. the characters exist on another plane of reality, so they can do magic, turn into animals, change appearances and undergo mitosis (about this later)
the design philosophy: all of them are women, no exceptions. because of the political focus, their clothes tend towards "business casual" to reflect that. sometimes inspiration can be drawn from the looks of prominent female politicians of a country. most of the times it's taken out of my ass and based on vibes.
the mitosis thing: because the characters are on another plane of existance and have to reflect political reality, they are very... fluid. for example: if a country is divided by civil war, then it gets split into two characters with the same face, same memories and even a mental link akin to telepathy. if they grow apart further, the link can get weaker to the point where it's almost entirely broken, and the twins are very much separate entities. an example of such separation: Britain and America (America started off as Britain's "double" so they still share a face and some physical features. i think they still share a mental link of sorts.) the characters can sometimes refer to their relationships as familiar, but it's very arbituary. America and Britain switch between calling each other "sisters" or "cousins", and Russia would think about the Union as her (late) mother (although technically current Russia is her "double" with the same memories and arguably the same-ish "consciousness", whatever that means)
relationships which interest me the most:
Russia & China: they have these vibes of "we are adults. we know love doesn't exist. we know we can't get attached. Healthy Distance, ok. not like the last time. this time we're sooo careful." i explored a very optimistic outlook on this dynamic in this fic. being so different means both some inevitable mistrust and an actually smoother dynamic where there's, like, less to argue about. i think they're very complimentary in essence. when China speaks Chinese and Russia speaks Russian, they understand each other perfectly. but only when they're drunk.
Russia & America: you know it's a great dynamic when in the "you're not rocking with me!? im gonna kill myself" meme each of them can be both the one breaking up and the one threatening to kill herself. (although im of the opinion that it's America who's responding to the break up text, but that is debatable.) i explored their dynamic a little in this and this fics. i think they're on the stage of very personal and visceral hatred and you cannot have them in the same room like two territorial and agressive cats
Russia & Germany: Germany refused to have friday beers with Russia so for a while she walked back and forth outside of Germany's window like an impatient tiger in a cage. Germany was too scared to tell her to leave so she just quietly closed the blinds
USSR & East Germany: im a bit insane about them tbh. i once saw a picture from i think better call saul (i haven't watched it, full disclosure) where he and his love interest lie in bed together but they're both dressed in business attire? yeah like this is their dynamic. but they're in military uniforms.
honorable mentions i'd like to think about more in the future:
America & Britain: i feel like they have something very messed up and entertaining going on Russia & India: a lot of wholesome potential. Russia & Iran: united by love for the geranium flowers Russia & North Korea: Russia appearing out of nowhere like heyyyy so, still friends, right?)) and Korea is like uh-huh. "welcome home cheater" vibes. Russia & Turkey: they're friends. they hate each other. they know the other very well. the most toxic and duplicitous "friendship" in the world and that's why it can be so fun
