forcing myself to go to bed at 2am instead of sitting at my desk thinking about salvador updates like a good little person with a body to take care of
#i so badly want to get a quality of life update going at some point#namely re-EQ'd samples and fixed up .oto#because i've learned more about CVVC in the meantime and think i can make him sound a little better#and also because Jesus Christ Why Is He So Sharp And Crunchy™#i really said 'by the way a lowpass flag is recommended' and meant 'Turn Him Down Or Your Ears Get It™'#but beyond that i am also still turning the idea of a more naturally recorded CV in my head#or at the very least a CVVC with a whole lot more processing#because really at this point i feel like all i want to do is either#find a more natural voice type that i can make into a library without such heavy vocal editing (to help match ayano's next update)#OR lean hard and heavy into the processed vocal vibe and try making a more electronic voice#the second option sounds really really fun and i might just do it either way if i get the chance#but i might still give the first option a shot for the character's sake skjdfhglk#want him . . . . to sound good . . . . with ayano . . . . . 😭💕#in any event my new room arrangement apparently has a pretty good sound#so as long as i find the time to i can record pretty much whenever#though the time part is#(looks at zola anniversary) (looks at [redacted] anniversary) (looks at job meetings) (looks at medical appointments) (looks at#hmm.#who knows . . . . .#i was about to say 'maybe i'll get something done ___ day' BUT#this is me we're talking about w#who has a Notorious habit of entertaining ideas that will NOT manifest for several years#if at all sdfkjghlkjdf

Sorry to the Swiss, but it’s a relief to see that Korea didn’t get knocked out with the biggest defeat in the Round of 16 lkdjflajfa. If only we went against each other and Portugal had Brazil, but oh well.
#as for spain–morocco...i unfortunately still care about spain so i was bummed#but i love seeing small and/or non-european countries make it and spain vs. morocco is even spicier because of their history#so i was thrilled for them! fully deserved! they played fabulously and that atmosphere was electric#everything was on their side. you could feel it in the air#really happy for them and hoping they continue to advance#kudos to them for their palestine flags (lol forever at fifa trying to make this a non-political event as possible#as if that's even possible...#and it turned out to be one of the most political with people unashamedly being demonstrative with their statements and gestures)#the narrative re: moroccan players who grew up in spain to immigrant families making it and representing morocco :') beautiful#as for spain's tactics...just reminded me of the times i got frustrated with lucho when he was at barca#why did he spend so much time putting nico and ansu on?! WHY stick so stubbornly to a strategy that isn't working?#as soon as he put nico on he ran in deep which broke up the great moroccan defense and it changed things up#instead of them continuing to pass horizontally or backwards 10000 times#they were breaking the wrong records with their passes and penalties god. embarrassing. though i suppose this is a return to form#2008–2012 were the golden years but spain always choked before then! this is on brand for them#they do have an extremely young squad though so with experience they'll become even more formidable#but even from the euros it was clear that they didn't gel well. not in the way that other NTs flop or crumble due to infighting#because they like each other a lot and there are fantastic players. it's just that there are some players that don't belong#or are missing altogether. great for spain to do a death by 1000 passes but who CARES#if you don't have anyone to pass to and my god spain's lack of an excellent forward is glaring#i wanted him to make thiago integral to the team but at the same time having a stacked midfield doesn't matter#if you can't FINISH

I am logging here once again to ramble about PtN after finishing chapter 13 and my fierce belief that the game is setting up something major for Eirene. While her involvement is just really significant during Raging Sands and Dreamy Bubble with tiny mentions or references in subsequent events, the more recent chapters did make interesting mentions re. how Quinn was funding (and arguably supporting) settlements outside DisCity if the worst came to pass. There has also been a lot of focus on Nirvana and what they do since chapters 9-10 were published and introduced the Rustfire arc. Now, if you go back to Eirene's interrogation, this is the company she was trying to mess with. In short - Eirene is trying to break the monopoly that Nirvana has over hypercube mining and transportation, but these were objectives laid out before the game added more lore about how the hypercube industry was handled by DisCity. Eirene knows too much, has something of a reach that goes beyond DisCity (she has control over Eastside through Quinn and brokered a deal with Chief while the investigation of her operations in Syndicate under Bishop were noticed) given her Outland origins and definitely is aware of Paradeisos with interesting connections involving at least Langley. On top of everything - we still don't know why she turned herself in. Chief never captured Eirene - she voluntarily surrendered herself to the custody of the MBCC and, one may suppose, the shackles. She is the mastermind (her title) and a chessmaster - there is no way she isn't featured in the main arc of the story and I won't accept any arguments to the contrary. I must fuel and live with my own delusions (just like Donald - easily my 3rd favorite sinner after Raven now; it's so funny to me that they would be my next choices in terms of muses following the queen of careful planning and cold logic, haha).

Okay so Re: the skin change/new life rumors, Gem and Impulsesv openly talked about recording on stream, but said "not to get excited". Impulse said he hadn't edited his video yet, but not to be surprised if it was his "worst video ever". He used those words. This is sounding more and more like an April Fools' event.
(Impulsesv Livestream March 26th 2024)

initiation - arsenal x reader
summary: you get drunk for the first time with your teammates
themes: intoxication, vomiting, comfort, fluff
(requested)
the promised ‘one drink’ had quickly turned into five. after a big, record-breaking crowd win at the emirates, it was unsaid that there needed to be some exciting nightlife to celebrate the occasion.
you hadn’t been a legal adult for very long and holding strict adherence your club’s rules, you never drank underage. usually, you opted out of events like these because you weren’t aware of your limits.
sitting at the table with all your club mates’ belongings, you sipped on a drink someone-you couldn’t remember who-had given to you. mesmerised by your lack of clear vision, you stared at the tiles on the floor, focusing on the way the grout in between them slowly swayed.
“hi liefje!” the familiar dutch woman’s voice jolted you back into reality. she shouted quite loudly in an attempt to overpower the earsplittingly loud music.
“hi viv!” you said brightly with a beaming smile that even reached your eyes.
viv shuffled onto the chair next to you, draping her long arm around your shoulders.
“this is your first time isn’t it?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “i hope you’ve got the energy to dance, ‘cause i’ve got a very grumpy looking girlfriend over there, waiting for a dance. but im afraid my dancing shift is over.”
you burst into a drunken fit of laughter when you spotted beth standing on the dance floor. colourful flashing lights flickering over her resentment-filled face and with arms crossed.
as you danced and as time passed, you’d lost track of how many drinks you’d consumed. if someone had asked you what you were doing 20 minutes ago, you’d have no clue. but a certain irish woman’s accent perked your attention.
“alright! for good craic i’ve bought everyone shots!” she yelled at the top of her lungs, caitlin shying behind her from embarrassment. “wet pussy shots for all us lesbians!”
the team gathered around the bar for an impromptu ‘we’re winning the league’ toast, and you stared at the others as they all quickly downed their shots with ease. you looked back down at the pink shot in your hand; it trembled from your unsteady, intoxicated grip. gritting your teeth, you brought the glass to your mouth, swallowing it all in one motion.
in that moment, you noticed it tasted nothing like alcohol, despite the burn down your throat. but soon enough the sweetness of the liquid hit the back strongest of your tastebuds, as you felt saliva begin to well up in the back of your mouth. the room began to spin.
urgently, not wanting to embarrass yourself, you found yourself rushing to the bathroom, katie’s raucous laughter ringing in your ears.
leah, always responsible for taking care of you, noticed your disappearance from the group and appeared by your side in an instant, holding your hair back as you hurled out the mostly liquid contents from your stomach.
“just let it all out, y/n,” leah’s gentle voice comforted, rubbing your back in small circles in attempt to soothe you. “first time with katie’s shots is always a wild ride, hm?”
after emptying out every last bit of alcohol from your stomach, leah stood you up and walked you over to the sinks, her arm secure around your waist. as you rinsed your mouth out at the tap, leah had grabbed some paper towels, slightly wetting them before returning back to you.
“look at me,” she said quietly, wiping at the sides of your mouth and chin with the damp paper towels. she brushed the hair out of your eyes and held the sides of your head, giving you a quick kiss on the forehead, “you’re okay, yeah?”
leah walked close by your side as you re-entered the club, catching amused glances from your teammates.
“i think it’s about time i take this one home,” leah announced, rubbing your back, “see you all at training on monday!”
as you walked towards the exit katie made sure to yell. “i don’t count that as surviving your initiation, y/n!!”
a/n: yeah i hate this lmao and it’s not proofread

How to re-programme your subconscious mind…(tried and tested)
When the retreats don’t seem to have a lasting effect, you’ve done therapy, prayed, been to see healers, meditated… but for the life of you, stilllll have wounds so deep that they might appear to be resolved but the moment you meet someone who is wow you suddenly feel unworthy. Maybe not even suddenly, but your relationship wounds are running deep. Relationships trigger you. You end up feeling the same 90% of the time. Unlovable, unwanted, and rejected. The key to remember is that it started with you. With the mind, with your thinking. At whatever point in your childhood (or even later) you took on the belief that you're not worthy, your needs were not met. You took on behaviours that play out still to this day. Maybe it was hiding yourself, maybe it was lashing out? Whatever it is, the same way it started with you, with your thinking, with your processing of events. Is the same way you heal your self. Here are some steps: 
1] Forgiveness. Forgiveness is going to free you from your past. Write a list of all the people and situations that caused you pain from your earliest memory to this very day. Whatever pains are etched in your mind, write them down. Once your list is collated, start going through each scenario, sending love and forgiveness to yourself and whoever was involved. Imagine yourself as a loving carer healing the parts of you that were vulnerable, hurt and not safe. Visualise giving yourself love in each scenario. Creating peace. Once you’ve been through a scenario and feel truly at peace with the situation scribble it out and once you are completely done with the papers you can burn them and set yourself free. (this process can take weeks / months depending how long your list is but it's not to be rushed).
2] Whatever is still lingering, use your journal to clear this out. For example, if I asked you right now if the man of your dreams was to appear.. would you feel worthy? Right now as your are? It might not be a man, it might be a job, a salary. Whatever it is, start challenging your old beliefs. You might not feel pretty enough, you might not feel like you are deserving… whatever it is start questioning old ideas you have about yourself. Challenge them..
3] This is the most important step… Once you’ve done the above. You’ll start to see some themes, maybe in your forgiveness list you realised your voice didn’t matter as a child, and that you were silenced, and that you hid yourself as a way to feel safe…whatever you uncover. 
3.1 - You are going to write a script, in simple terms - something a child would understand and make sense of and you’re going to write out new beliefs to re-programme your mind. Example ‘I am willing to forgive those who hurt me, I am willing to forgive myself for the hurt I went through, I am no longer hiding myself from the world, I am choosing to be seen , to be celebrated, I am allowing my voice to be heard, my true voice, I matter’ - you want to cover all basis. Every old belief about not being enough, you need to re-write.
3.2 - Record yourself on your phone in a very slow peaceful loving tone reading your script. 
3.3 - You need to listen to this recording every single night for at least 1-4 weeks. (It’s usually 21 days, but I did a recording for 1 week on feeling safe and I felt truly healed as if it was a miracle). I was able to LOOP the recording using Mac...I sent the voice recording from my iPhone to my MacBook using airdrop and then opened the sound file in iTunes and pressed repeat. This allowed a short recording to loop all night as I slept. It’s really important to play this on a loop as you want to IMPRESS your subconscious mind with the new beliefs. It’s your own voice, its your own re-wiring. 
I hope this helps! The deeper healing work is crucial if you really want to remove those old wounds that seem to be stuck and not budging!

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween, and happy annual update! We have a few important things to share with everyone, and we apologize for our recent silence. Admittedly, while we have been working away at the game behind the scenes, we have lost several volunteers throughout 2023, as they no longer had the time nor the drive to commit to BHC. We wish them all the best, and while filling in the gaps has taken some time, we are in a more comfortable place now, and have adjusted our team accordingly. Our progress should be must faster in the coming year, but on that note, we have a couple important announcements. Firstly, the game will no longer be fully voiced. Our VAs, some of which are voicing multiple characters, have not had the time to record, and we do not want to pressure them into recording the hundreds of lines needed within a set time frame. There will still be voicework in each date, but not to the same scale. Secondly, the demo re-release is still on the table, but due to the reason above, we are unsure when this will be happening. We will announce it when it is close to completion, and we apologize for the delay. Thirdly, we have one more big seasonal event we hope to bring to you soon. While we planned to have it out to you today, our sole programmer has caught a nasty case of COVID, and we will be waiting to release until they are well enough to wrap up loose ends. In the meantime, here is some preview artwork by the talented @/insanelyadd. Please look forward to it in the coming weeks. In the meantime, maybe you can match each symbol to a different skeleton? There are 10 of them after all ;)
Tumblr media
Finally, we are happy to announce that we plan to have all assets completed for the full game by the end of 2024. The game itself may take a bit longer than that, but we hope to have it close to done by then. Blog updates may continue to be thin from here as a result, and while we still have a ways to go, we are still determined to finish the project. Thank you for continuing your support of the project, and have a happy Halloween! The BHCrew

day off, and just enjoy!
pairing: tom blyth x actress!reader.
summary: you and Tom try to enjoy your free time with each other's company and competing against each other.
word count: 1.315!
notes: a more domestic, relaxed scenario ran through my head and i felt i needed to write it down. — i hope you like and enjoy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The right amount is seven cards, right?" — Shuffling the cards, trying to adjust them to be distributed in a random order and not letting any go uncontrolled, your boyfriend asked.
Replying to some messages, and some tweets that Rachel chose to make and tagging you, and then, sharing your latest post on your story, — Coincidentally, in the same second, Tom's cell phone vibrates with a notification. — you take your attention away from the device, turning it off, and direct your eyes to your boyfriend.
"Right!" — Your head nodded in confirmation, and your fingers tapped, lightly, on the wooden table. — "There is another way to play with more cards but I think this is better." — And it seemed to be more complicated and a little more time-consuming, like that, you thought.
It was their time off, some moments of rest and focusing on things and opportunities that could distract your minds. — Since the premiere of 'The ballad of songbirds and snakes', there have been extremely long and very busy days with so many interviews, presentations, participation in programs and premiere nights; which were incredible, brought different emotions to each of the cast and so much pleasure and happiness. — The union, the feeling of everyone being together was unique and inexplicable.
Mentioning that your work schedules are still full was not some kind of exaggeration, and that, with each event, more plans were planned in the future. — After all, it wasn't a lie to say that you were already used to all of this. — Therefore, a few days of rest were more than necessary.
"Here it is." — The cards were distributed in the correct manner and quantity, and those that remained, and which would be used to be bought, were left next to you. — "Just wait a minute, darling." — Tom warned, while taking his cell phone.
While you were organizing and judging your cards, wondering if they could actually lead to a good game for you, your cell phone vibrates as a sign of some notification and, instantly, the screen lights up showing you what it was. — A like on your story from such a familiar profile. — Your lips curved into a genuine and beloved smile, feeling like a teenager in love.
The fact that you and Tom kept notifications on, from your profiles, from each other was cute; at the same time, without wasting a second, as if you wanted to break some kind of record, in any post, among the first likes and comments, your users were there. — Fans thought this was one of the funniest and most beautiful things.
And things like you and Tom were each other's fans were always mentioned in tweets and compilations.
Leaving his cell phone near the group of cards and before picking up his set of cards, Tom looks at you and winks in your direction; you laughed, unable to contain yourself.
"Who goes first?" — You asked, slightly swinging your legs under the table, moving the cards again and waiting for the first round of the game.
"Oh please, ladies first." — Supporting his cards, already organized, in one hand, Tom made a reference to a knight of a certain era with his other hand; your foot poked his calf, finding his act funny.
You started the game with a green card numbered two, after all, it was the color that was most present in your cards. — A possible strategy, perhaps? And you hoped it would work. — Quickly, Blyth opted for a card of the same color but numbered five.
"After the winter camp…" — Tom's voice in a concentrated but so soft tone exclaimed in your ears, taking away, a little, your attention from choosing the card. — "What will be our next trip?" — Still in the same color, you add a number four.
"We need to go through there again." — You commented, reminding him that you said the same thing when you were with him at the table. — "Let me think." — Tom put the same number but in blue, you clicked your tongue, unhappy with the absence of the color in your set.
"So that means you don't have that color." — He laughed, fixing this information in his head; Ignoring his provocation, you bought a card and, coincidentally, it came with the same number but, again, in a different color. — Yellow.
"I'm thinking about spending time in a forest, that has a cabin near a beautiful, huge river." — Indicating, directly and indiscreetly, a reference to the movie's scene, you suggested. — "And an opportunity to fish and jump in it." — Understanding what it was about, Tom's laugh settles in the room and warms your heart.
"Not including hair being dyed blonde, i will be by your side, my love." — Tom bit his lip, continuing to vibrate his laugh, and provoking the fact that everyone was asking, or rather begging, for him to definitely become blonde. — "And it wouldn't be a bad idea, really."
During his answer, he had placed a card with the same number but, of course, with a different color, it was red; and a simple, brief moment of relief because you had a yellow card disappeared into thin air. — Once again, you drew a card and once again, out of pure irony, you draw a card with the same number but colored green.
Maybe, your game was on a good track. — Or your luck was definitely in an ironic direction.
"That's not possible?" — Complained the oldest, with his eyebrows arched and his mouth half open; you shrugged, causing a smug frown. — "Can you tell me." — He placed a card numbered eight and colored green and, quickly, you added another green card with a different number.
And so, the game arrived at a time when there were only two cards left in your hand; accompanied by the intriguing information that they were the same color, green. — Finally, you had an opportunity to play that yellow card, which didn't have a good moment and was prevented from being used.
In Tom's hands there were also the presence of two cards; If they were identical in color, you didn't know that and had no idea whatsoever. — But his eyes were focused on your cards and, soon, he paid attention to your face, observing every point and expression that existed on it. — Along with that sideways smile, without showing his teeth, anxiously waiting for your move.
You weren't betting anything, but in the next round, you will probably go, let alone compete, seriously; however, if an outsider saw the current situation, they would automatically think of a competition. — And without joking or exaggerating.
In a delicate and risky moment, you played one of your green cards; leaving just a card between your fingers and looking deeply into those blue eyes, waiting for his turn. — Tom took, at least a little longer than usual, to play; as if he was thinking about what, exactly, to do. — Oh, another heavy mind with strategy.
However, those two cards, which were left in your boyfriend's hand, form just one thin and small set. — As if it were just one. — And, slowly, they are positioned on top of the card you had placed. — They were two blue cards, twins and with the same number as your card.
"I won!" — Tom exclaimed, with a triumphant smile and moving, just a little and dramatically, the chair away from the table; as he tilted his head in amusement and waiting for something from you. — "I feel like we should have bet something."
"I don't believe." — Leaving the card on the table and crossing your arms, thinking about your mediocre strategy, which passed on a gravel path, apparently, you spoke. — "The chance was between my fingers!" — Tom laughed shamelessly at your reaction and received another poke from your foot on his leg.
"Ready to lose again, my sweetheart?" — He asked, crossing his arms on the table, looking at you.

Hello fans of Re: Dracula who were introduced to fiction podcasts through the updates from our good friend Jonathan Harker! Now that the story's over (sob!), would you like some recommendations for some other audio dramas that you might enjoy, made by some of the folks who worked on the podcast?
Jonathan Sims, who played our local phonograph enthusiast, is the writer of the hugely popular horror podcast, The Magnus Archives. The Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute records statements made by members of the public, detailing strange encounters with the supernatural. What soon becomes clear is that these statements do not describe separate and unrelated events, and a bigger and horrific picture begins to emerge. Also appearing as recurring characters in this series are both Sasha Sienna and Alasdair Stuart.
Karim Kronfli is a prolific voice actor, and while he might be best known for his roles in both Re: Dracula and The Magnus Archives, he has voiced a wide range of characters in many different fiction podcasts. Out of all the ones he's appeared in, I would personally recommend urban fantasy anthology series, Unseen. The unseen world exists alongside ours, but only a few humans can see it. It's a world where magic and magical creatures exists, and Karim's character tells his story in episode 7, titled We Ourselves.
Beth Eyre and Felix Trench played twins Antigone and Rudyard Funn in Wooden Overcoats, a British sitcom set on the tiny fictional island of Piffling, in the English Channel. The twins run a funeral parlor together, the only one on the island, until a newcomer arrives. Eric Chapman (played by Tom Crowley) sets up a much more successful funeral parlor, and the story is narrated by the Funns' house mouse, Madeline.
Alan Burgon plays the Interviewer in The Amelia Project. The Amelia Project is a secret organisation, and clients come to them looking for their help in faking their deaths. The Interviewer listens to each client's story, before concocting unique and often elaborate ways in which they will stage their deaths, before being reborn into a new identity.
David Ault is also a very recognisable voice to anyone who spends a considerate amount of time listening to fiction podcasts, and The Kingmaker Histories feels like an appropriate choice here. A weird steampunk series set in the Valorian Socialist Republic in 1911 , this story involves found family, its own intriguing magic system, and being gay and doing crime.
Our favourite cowboy, Giancarlo Herrera, plays one of the protagonists in sci-fi action/thriller, Primordial Deep. Spinner is part of a team which is sent deep beneath the sea to investigate the resurgence of creatures thought to be long-extinct. There's plenty of horror to be had here, as something ancient is stirring in the depths of the ocean.
As for the crew? Tal Minear works on so many podcasts, and if you like fantasy stories, I would recommend the delightfully lighthearted Sidequesting, which follows new adventurer Rion, as they help people on their travels. If you would like some more horror, there's their spoiler-driven anthology series, Someone Dies in This Elevator.
Hannah Wright's Inn Between is a fantasy series based on D&D. Each episode follows a party as they meet in the Goblin's Inn, in between adventures, as the tavern follows them around wherever they go.
Stephen Indrisano's upcoming docu-horror Shelterwood promises to be a series which explores the horror of suburbia, as it follows one man's quest to find his missing sister. Until this is released, I would recommend Do You Copy, in which Stephen plays one of the protagonists. This found footage horror series follows the events which unfold after the closure of Red Tail National Park, and the people who were left inside the park, after its mysterious closure.
Ella Watts is regarded as a walking encyclopedia of all things audio fiction, and has worked on several high-profile projects, including directing both Doctor Who: Redacted and Marvel Move. Her upcoming Camlann is a post-apocalyptic series due to be released next year, inspired by Arthurian legends and British folklore. She is also the executive producer of Tin Can Audio's (who are also producing Camlann) beautiful experimental series, The Tower. The protagonist of this story, Kiri, leaves her life behind to climb an impossibly high tower, making phonecalls along the way.
Newt Schottelkotte's Where The Stars Fell is a supernatural fantasy set in the town of Jerusalem, Oregon. Cryptozoologist Dr Edison Tucker arrives in the town to carry out some research, and meets her roommate, author Lucille Kensington. There's so much more to this strange town than first meets the eye, with a huge revelation at the end of season one.
If you're new to fiction podcasts, welcome! I hope this short (ish!) and very much non-comprehensive list gave you some ideas of what to listen to next!

♡a small collective of acts of love of a wide variety. It comes in many forms and isn't always truly apparent. Depending on personality, preferences, and mannerisms. Tried to make sure they're gender neutral & well balanced for the different tropes ♡
Helping them put on jewelery, a muted rosey hue tinting their cheeks as their fingertips graze the others skin.
Taking the others perspective into consideration when making big decisions. They don't want to upset or cross any lines the one they admire may have.
Respects any and all boundaries of their partner, even if they can't quite understand them. Is every patient with them, and will try to understand the best they can.
Gives specific gifts that will invoke the best reactions. They get so giddy when their partner or friends are happy.
will sing around them, even if not the greatest at it.
remembers the finest of detail about their partner. will even write it down if they fear they will forget it.
uplifts them whenever they are feeling low, encourages their dreams within reason so not to provide any false hopes.

packs things they know the other will likely forget when going on trips.
includes them in their favorite activities, showing them their own tips and tricks for it.
let's the other passionately ramble on about whatever has caught their attention, without judgment, and will engage regularly with questions or shared curiosity.
will record their favorite TV shows so when they visit they can still watch it if they want to.
shares their favorite books/songs/things together
platonic kisses and hugs
tidying shared spaces so the other doesn't have to worry about it
cooking together (bonus if they're learning a new recipe together)
very appreciative of the others' efforts (even if they fail. almost especially if they fail because at least they attempted for the good of their behalf)
will cover the other if they find them sleeping, and sometimes, will relocate them to a more comfortable location/position.
protective of the others' hopes/dreams/beliefs

dedicated their achievements to their partnership and expressed their gratitude for their role in their life
might get angry when the other endangers themselves but apologises when they realize it isn't helping. They don't mean to snap. They just scared their soul for a second. Don't do that. They can't bear to see/let it happen.

randomly brings the other food to ensure they are properly eating
casually "accidentally" orders things and "happens" to think the other would like them.
crafts the other trinkets or art
patiently hears the other out no matter what. Even if it's hard to hear because they want to fully understand.
Disbelieves rumors that damage the others' reputation and will set the record straight if possible. Will always let the other know if something is brewing and offer a solution (How they go about it is dependent on the character)
sends the other messages whenever they're thinking of them or remembers something they know the other will reminisce with them over.
takes care of the other to the best of their ability (pampering/caretaker/gaurdian)
learns a new language so that they can better communicate with the other if they're not fluent in their tongue.
quick to give the benefit of the doubt to the other, even if they know it might not turn out how they hope. They want to only see the good if they can.

The King's Men - Chapter Eleven
Day: Thursday, February 29th/March, 1st* Time: 10:45 PM EST
By the time the Trojans and Lions hit halftime Neil had forgotten all about Kevin. He'd been so wrapped up in the Foxes' season and the Ravens he'd forgotten how spectacular the rest of the Big Three were. These teams played like they were professionals. They didn't have the Ravens' spotless record but they were only a half-step behind Edgar Allan. Kevin had warned them weeks ago the Foxes weren't ready to face these schools. For once his callous dismissal felt like a gentle understatement. He wasn't the only one who found it a sobering sight. Dan muted the commercials, tapped the remote against her thigh in a nervous rhythm, and said, "So we definitely need to step it up, guys." Kevin frowned at her. "Even if you'd stepped it up when I told you to a year ago, you would have no chance of beating them. There is nothing at all you can do this late in the year. They are better than we are and they always will be." "Do you get off on being such a Debbie Downer?" Nicky asked. "Denial does none of us any good," Kevin said. "We struggled against Nevada. How do you honestly expect us to make it past the Big Three?" "California's overdue for a big earthquake," Nicky pointed out. "That'd take care of USC, at least." "That's a little extreme, don't you think?" Renee asked. "We need something extreme at this point," Allison said. Renee's expression was calm and her tone steady, but Renee didn't need to look disappointed in them for them to get the message. "The Trojans had our backs when we needed them most. Do you really want them to suffer just so we can profit?" "It's just not fair," Nicky said, shying away from her gaze. "Us getting this far and putting up with so much and then losing here, I mean." "We haven't lost yet," Dan said, "but we will lose if you give up right out of the gate." Kevin started to say something Neil knew would be negative and dismissing. Neil reached behind Andrew and popped Kevin in the back of the head to shut him up. Matt choked on a laugh and tried unsuccessfully to pass it off as a cough. Kevin froze for a startled second, then sent Neil a scathing look. "No one wants to hear that right now," Neil said. "If you hit me again," Kevin started. Andrew cut in with a casual, "You'll what?" Kevin shut up but didn't look happy about it.

(I merged the og art as well as the re-draw because I adore Andrew's face in the second panel.)
*Due to the Leap Year, I have opted to highlight the day rather than the date to keep the events in occurrence to the 2007 year. I will continue to mark both days accordingly.
