cw: stalking, masturbation

simon, your dearest best friend who installs a camera in your apartment because you feel uneasy in your our home. irritated easily, you feel like someone is watching you. you want to be secure, and he's a military guy that you know for rough 13 years - who is better for the job?

he gives you access to the cameras, so you will be watching your apartment from your work place!!

little do you know, he has access too:/ and he's the one watching you, was the one who was watching you before, too. not in creepy way, not like those guys you're dating, no. he's just making sure you're safe. you're a bit dumb!! what if something happens to you!!

he loves when you put a little show for him, too. when you feel so safe that you're walking bare naked around the salon.

you don't know about the two additional cameras. hidden ones. they're in your bathroom and bedroom - what, you thought he wasn't gonna pick up this opportunity? hell no. that's why he knows when to call you when things are getting too heated with your boyfriend.

another reason - if he's lucky, he can see you with your little vibrator in your hand. trying so eagerly to pleasure yourself, and he just thinks how he would be better for you. so so much better because he'd reach the points that you can't.

and he's so sure that his cock would feel so much better than this toy. he's jerking off with a thought that you would feel so much better than his hand, so warm, so ready for him to ruin you.

it's a plan that he intends to accomplish.

fic is here <3

Transfem Buggy anon here to drop a silly valentines idea-

1) don't worry too much about speeding through asks, sweetheart, you're doing fine. Take your time and do your thing at your own pace. Anyone has an issue with it? I'll fight em 😤

2) IDEA TIME

So imagine Buggy getting absolutely SMOTHERED in valentines days gifts - from friends, underlings, allies, secret admirers (she thinks they're all fake or lies), and her partners of the year.

She and Alvida do a Self Care Self Love event (maybe include Uta and Perona bc smth about them being so supportive of Buggy coming out as trans and just so easily slotting her in to girls night makes me soft).

Ritchie wears a special Valentine's Day bow, and he gives extra lion licks to his favorite people. He doesn't quite get the whole concept of HOLIDAYS beyond that it makes his humans so happy and silly and so he too is happy and silly. Lion loves.

Mohji and Cabaji, every year, make Buggy a gift for Valentine's. She gives them little gifts too, but theirs aren't conventional - they were there from the beginning, and so they've seen the best and worst of each other. They're besties your honor.

After Impel Down, Buggy wakes up on Valentine's to a MOUNTAIN of cards, candies, stuffed animals, flowers, and balloons. Maybe half of them are signed. It's a long ass affair to organize them.

When she starts dating Crocodile and Mihawk, they hadn't seen the Karai Bari Variant of Valentine's Day. Needless to say, when they wake up and walk with Buggy to get breakfast, they are both BLINDSIDED and BAMBOOZLED by this veritable TON of gifts. Buggy just sighs. "Guys. Really?"

"WE LOVE YOU, CAPTAIN BUGGY!!!"

"I can't eat all this. Okay, line up, I'm passing out candies at random. Consider this a treat before breakfast."

"CAPTAIN BUGGY IS SO GENEROUS AND KIND!!!"

"I- ya know what, sure, whatever. I haven't had coffee yet. I don't feel like arguing."

Crocodile and Mihawk though are surprised when she offers them a soft smile and... two boxes? "Open them when you want to, boys, no rush."

She gets a delivery later on in the day, a crate with a blue rose painted on the top. She huffs. When asked, she shrugs it off. "Shanks is still being a damned sap."

He sends her presents as often as he can - with a relatively ser address for Karai Bari, she is more easily accessible, which makes him go a little overboard. In the crate are her favorite candies (ghost pepper flaked dark chocolates), soft stuffed animals, new clothes, a dress, flowers and silly trinkets. ((And maybe a little treasure map he made just for her)).

Buggy would give thoughtful gifts - smth for Croc's bananawani nursery or specialty cleaner for his jewelry, new seeds for Mihawk's garden he mentioned wanting once in passing or new cording to rebrand Yoru's hilt, etc.

She also ties her hair up on holidays, puts on an apron, and joins the cooks in the kitchens. Cooking is smth she's good at, if a tad embarrassed by, but baking if her favorite thing to do. It's like chemistry and showmanship mixed together, two of her most favorite things. Getting the chance to indulge in it is smth she rarely lets herself have, but she makes exceptions for certain days.

And if Mihawk and Croc, knowing this by that point, pooled together to get her her own supplies to indulge more freely in their shared space, away from prying or attentive eyes, well...

Valentines Day isn't exactly a cliche on their little handmade home, but the sentiment, the intention, the love is there.

((And if Buggy just so happens to send a few batches of Shanks' favorite cookies to him a week after the day, well, he'll treasure them!!!

Until he eats himself sick, that is.))

1) Thank you <333 That's really sweet 😭🧡

AND THIS IS ALL AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bit late to Valentine's Day (sorry, really akjjddnjk) but I absolutely adore it. Buggy loves Valentine's Day and the thought of everybody getting her gifts and also enjoying the holiday on her island is so cute,,, Everything is perfect and tbh, after coming out as a woman is even better because she's finally able to do it as herself. I think she wanted to do it really bad when she was a kid.

Her crew is so silly,, And having a whole day with Perona and Alvida makes her feel so loved,, Crying and sobbing. Also, Crocodile and Mihawk aren't used to celebrating these things, so now that they're with her they're surprised by how much they enjoy it. Not the holiday itself because in general it's extremely annoying and they do not want to be there with all this drama-- But they do like seeing her happy and giving her gifts <333 Why have mafioso-looking boyfriends if they aren't going to shower you with gifts, you know? And also, they're losers for her, which makes it better.

#i love cross guild being cute it lives in my mind rent free #everything about this is amazing thank you #one piece #buggy the clown #cross guild #transfem buggy

Ayo, Bookclub, I am back with another information clarification post.

Today we're gonna talk about Chronica, Domina, and Plants in the universe, as well as looking at the timeline. A lot of this information is already given to us in Vol 12, and the rest will not really be any spoilers but serve to give everything mentioned later more weight.

Right off the bat, Chronica and Domina are both Independent Plants. They're now born with neural blockers that contains their powers and prevents them from fusing. It seems to be common place for Independent Plants to serve upon Earth vessels, which gives us insight that Independent Plants are not only trusted, but also admired and respected in these military positions, as we see the Captain always refer to Chronica for her analysis and expertise.

And about Earth. Information was obviously lost over time, so it is easy to imagine the people on planet No Man's Land just assumed Earth was gone, or simply didn't bother hope for anything beyond surviving to the next day. With Earth dying, they sent out fleets to colony other planets, not knowing if they would ever make it possible for finding each other again. All that mattered was that humanity had to survive.

In time, they managed to develop a better and more sustainable form of energy, both to preserve Earth and Plants, and this allowed humanity to also develop warp drives to easily travel the stars, finally making the dream of connecting all of humanity across the stars.

Also, with a quick look at the timespan and year we have, we can use the dates offered in the notes about Tesla to nail down a time period. Tesla was born May 3rd, 2405. She survived for seven month and a half months, making that some time in January, 2406.

An unspecified amount of time passed before Vash and Knives were born, but let's go with a year or so for simplicity, which is then in 2407. Add then the one year plus a few extra months for the time they grew up on the ship, making it 2408. Now we add the 150 or so years, making it 2558, give or take the about three years of the entire story, putting us at 2561 as the current year of the story.

Chronica than states that it's been over two centuries since they started colonizing the universe, setting the year for when the SEEDs ships left Earth at around 2361, give or take a couple of decades or so. Meaning the colony fleets flew through space for like fifty or so years, at least the one Rem and the crew was on.

There's an unknown amount of human colonies out in the universe, most likely doing better than our main planet, since they managed to land on suitable planets and didn't crash and lose all their tech and information like No Man's Land did because of Knives.

It seems the tech and understanding surrounding Plants was not fully understood by the time the colony fleets were sent out, making Independents an unknown whenever they would eventually happen to each fleet and/or colony. With all these unrestrained Independents Plants across the universe, it is no surprise that Chronica speaks about having faced similar situations.

From what Chronica states, non-neurally blocked Independent Plants have for the most part turned violent and dangerous, as well. Might be caused by the access to near-unlimited power, even if the Plant situations could look a lot better on other Planets. They could've been treated like subjects, like Tesla, and grown their hate this way.

This also suggest how much of an anomaly Vash is, having been raised like a normal child, with love and care, growing into a reasonable man. It is possibly other Independents out there shared a good childhood too, which is why Chronica says most unrestrained Indepedents are violent, but not all.

It's also worth noting, that despite Independents having neural blockers to prevent them from fusing, they can still be forcibly assimilated against their will through direct contact, as we saw happening to Domina. Another person in Knives' long list of victims whose autonomy was taken away and body invaded by him, because he cares so much about other Plants and totally not acting out of his own hate and fear.

I hope this cleared some stuff up for everyone. I for one absolutely love thinking about what the rest of the world could look like, considering the scope of the world.

this is just a theory (i haven't looked into this bit that much) but I feel like the reason that misinformation is so wildly rampant in online communities about ADHD (probably also autism) is in part because of how inaccessible actual professional information about it is.

Like, I remember before I got my diagnosis (what started off this whole thing a while back), I was looking at the CDC website description of symptoms of ADHD with my mom and. If you thought you were neurodivergent and were looking at this thing trying to see if you should get tested, its basically saying "screw you. you're either a child who is going to be here because of their parents, or an adult who is also here because of another neurotypical."

one of the criteria was literally "is often 'on the go' acting as if 'driven by a motor.'" that means absolutely nothing. you are using undefined expressions to explain something to someone who historically is not good at understanding unexplained social norms (such as expressions).

plus, its incredibly subjective. "on the go" could mean something wildly different for one person then the next. and "often" could mean "all the time every day" or "only at school" or even "every other week." not to mention the memory issues that at least a lot of the people who I know with ADHD struggle with.

someone who might have ADHD has no way of knowing if they "often have trouble organizing tasks and activities" or if that is a normal amount. there is no way for them to easily know if they "often do not seem to listen when spoken to directly."

so it seems obvious to me, that they would turn to other people with ADHD. and the easiest place to find them these days is online. thats how I started wondering if I should get diagnosed. they're probably trying to find some other way to understand or know. and since its social media and social media is rampant with misinformation, of course they are going to be fed misinformation.

people are going to tell them "you see this weird thing that you do? I do that too. and its actually because of this much larger thing. trust me." and people will. because there really isn't much of another place for them to turn. they are going to self-diagnose with every disorder under the sun to make themselves feel at home and feel like they aren't weird or wrong.

maybe i'm way off here but I think that if you want people (teens in particular) to stop turning to social media for comfort and information, you should give them other resources that are accessible. that they don't have to pay to see, that they can understand clearly, that acknowledges all the weird things that they feel bad about.

and sort of as a side note: i remember in elementary school, early on (this might have just been my school/city/state), the school set up one of those mobile classrooms on the yard and would pull kids out for like a good couple months to do eye exams. because we've normalized that kids also have eye problems and thats normal. and maybe, could we also get a small little assessment. just to see if we can find neurodivergent kids early on and get them help so that they don't suffer for years and years.

and i'm not talking as someone who has had it hard. i have had it so easy compared to so many others. i have supportive parents and get good grades, and yet, i am constantly burnt out. i constantly feel horrible. not just because of depression. maybe i'm being too radical here but i feel like i shouldn't need a 504 plan to say that if i'm having a panic attack i can leave the room. that if i'm having trouble focusing i can go to the library or somewhere else. that i can get extensions on due dates. that i can see a copy of the notes or lesson for reference. i don't know maybe i'm just incredibly radical that i think people shouldn't have to be expected to work four times as hard to get anything done and then get blamed when they don't live up to the expectation. whether or not they are neurodivergent.

For the soft fic prompt thing could you maybe do number 3 or 30?

sorry anon that this took forever to reply to!!! hope you enjoy reading :D

3: forehead kisses

There were lots of things that Richie loved about his boyfriend.

He loved Eddie's smile, and the loud laugh that he let sometimes slip whenever he heard something really funny. He loved the way Eddie cared for him- both in a physical way, in making sure Richie ate lunch every day, as well as an emotional way, in giving Richie a shoulder to cry on and giving him loving reassurance whenever he felt down. He loved the way Eddie cuddled into him at night like a koala bear, wrapping his arms and legs around Richie so tightly that Richie wouldn't be able to get up if he tried (it's made Richie late for work a few times, but he doesn't mind in the slightest).

One of the other things that Richie loves about Eddie, is that Eddie is the perfect height for forehead kisses.

When Richie is cooking dinner and Eddie comes to stand beside him, Richie can easily plant a kiss on his forehead. When they're sitting on the couch together and Eddie falls asleep, he is always just at the perfect height and angle against Richie's chest for Richie to wake him up with a gentle kiss to his forehead. When Eddie comes home from a bad day at work and he walks straight into Richie's arms for some comfort, automatically tilting his head up ever so slightly to give Richie access to his forehead.

Richie showed his love for Eddie in a thousand different ways, but a gentle press of his lips to Eddie’s forehead was definitely one of his favourites.

BONUS: Growing up, Eddie had always… disliked his height. He had always been short than his friends, his classmates, and even throughout college and his young adult years, he always found himself to be one of the shortest in whatever group he was in.

For nearly 40 years, he had always disliked his height… until he started dating Richie, and discovered that he was just the right height to receive a forehead kiss from Richie.

For the first time in his life, Eddie hoped his growth spurt would never come.

30. ‘this is my husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner etc.’

"Oh my god, did you see who's over there?"

"No, who?"

"Over at the bar- that's Richie Tozier!"

"Who?"

Bill raised his eyebrows at his coworkers. "Richie Tozier?" he repeated. "The comedian? He's like, one of the most popular guys in comedy these days? He's starring in that upcoming movie with Brad Pitt?"

Beverly rolled her eyes, taking a sip of her drink. "You know I don't watch that kind of stuff, Denbrough."

"That's not the point," Bill said, looking back across the room to the tall, curly-haired man standing at the bar. "What the hell is Richie Tozier doing here, at our office party?"

"It's a public bar, Bill," Ben pointed out. "Ever think that maybe he's just here to get a drink?"

Stanley frowned. "A rich, world-famous comedian is getting a drink in a tiny, crowded, 2-star pub in Brooklyn?" He shook his head as he watched the comedian chat animatedly with the bartender. "Doesn't add up."

"Well, you can't be implying that he's here for the office party, right?" Mike said.

"No, but, I mean there must be a reason-"

"Hi, everyone."

While they were all indeed curious about Richie Tozier's attendance at their little party, Stanley's theory was cut short by a new addition to their table as Eddie Kaspbrak squeezed himself into the spot in between Beverly and Mike.

Eddie Kaspbrak was very much a part of this little office friend group, though he was the most mysterious out of all of them. He didn't talk much about his personal life... or anything other than work, really. So while things like Stanley's marriage and kid on the way, Beverly's side business, and the novel that Bill was attempting to write when he wasn't in the office were all common knowledge amongst them, the most that any of them really knew about Eddie was that he was married- and only because of the ring on his finger, not because he had told them. They were all definitely curious about the mysterious life of Eddie Kaspbrak, but they also respected him enough not to pry.

They all returned cheerful hello's and how are you's in reply to Eddie, but when Bill noticed the comedian at the bar move out of the corner of his eye, their conversation from before quickly resumed. "Hey, Eddie, do you know who Richie Tozier is?"

Eddie's eyes widened slightly, and if Bill wasn't mistaken, he seemed to have the slightest hint of a smile on his face. "I've heard of him," Eddie replied.

"Well, he's here, apparently," Beverly said. "And Bill's getting all excited about it."

"I am not getting all excited about it," Bill said, to which Beverly grinned. "I'm just wondering why he's here."

"Maybe you should go ask him," Ben suggested. "Maybe he'll even give you his autograph."

"Oh, shut it, Hanscom."

"What do you think, Eddie?" Mike asked, after the laughter and Bill's blush had died down. "Any ideas on why a famous celebrity would be here, at this bar, at our office party?"

Eddie glanced between his friends, his cheeks flushing a light pink. He looked almost nervous, but the smile on his face seemed to grow. "Ah," he said after a few moments of thought. "Well, actually, you see-"

"Eds!"

A voice cut through the music playing and all the conversation around them, and when Bill looked over to the source, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Richie Tozier was walking towards them, a big grin on his face, and his eyes set on Eddie. Bill thought he must be mistaken, that Richie Tozier was definitely not approaching them, that he was calling for someone else who just happened to have a similar nickname to Eddie, there was just no way...

So Bill could only watch in amazement and confusion as Richie Tozier stopped directly beside Eddie, and handed him one of the drinks in his hand. "They didn't have your favourite wine," Richie said as Eddie took the glass. "Or your second favourite, either. So I got your third favourite, which I know is not ideal, but it's the best this place and their pathetic wine selection could do."

Nobody could quite believe what they were seeing, or hearing. The five of them had worked with Eddie for almost six years now, and collectively they probably knew five facts about Eddie Kaspbrak... but somehow, celebrity comedian Richie Tozier has the knowledge of Eddie's favourite type of wine, as well as his second, and third? And he even has a nickname for Eddie, who as far as Bill knew, hated when people tried to give him a nickname?

Eddie glanced down at his wine, not looking too happy about having to settle for his third choice, but looked back up to Richie with a smile and thanked him anyways. Richie beamed proudly as he took a sip of his own drink, before glancing over to the group standing around them, and the five pairs of eyes staring at them in surprise. "So, Eds," Richie said. "You gonna introduce me to your friends or what?"

Eddie returned his attention back to his friends, and Bill noticed that his blush was even more prominent now, though his smile was as big as Bill had ever seen it. "Right," he said. "Uh, Richie, these are some of my coworkers, the ones I told you about- this is Bill, Mike, Beverly, Stanley, and Ben." Richie eagerly shook each of their hands, greeting them with a genuine-sounding, Pleasure to meet 'ya!

Eddie hesitated for a few moments after Richie let go of Ben's hand, as though he was trying to figure out what to say next, but was having trouble. Bill found this rather odd, as at work Eddie never seemed to have a problem with speaking in their meetings, but Bill was still trying to process the fact that Richie Tozier was standing in front of him and just shook his hand, that he didn't spend too much time pondering over Eddie's behaviour.

Finally, after taking another sip of his third-choice wine, Eddie spoke up again. "Guys, I'd like you to meet Richie- my husband."

is that AYO EDEBIRI? oh, no, that’s BEATRICE "BIRDIE" ROUX, a THIRTY-ONE year old OWNER OF CASA DRAGONES who uses SHE/THEY pronouns. they currently live in QUILPUÉ, and the character they identify with most is PENELOPE GARCIA FROM CRIMINAL MINDS. hopefully they find their own little paradise here in el país de los poetas!

BASICS:

full name: beatrice "birdie" clementine roux nickname(s): birdie (primary), bea, tris age: thirty-one gender: non-binary pronouns: she/they sexuality: if she ever told you she knew she lied (unlabeled queer) date & place of birth: march 6 in malibu, california occupation: owner of casa dragones faceclaim: ayo edebiri piercings: pierced ears – one lobe piercing, two helix piercings, and a conch piercing. traits: outgoing, warm, empathetic, intelligent, caring, independent (overly so), stressed, awkward, dogmatic similar to: penelope garcia (criminal minds), alice cullen (twilight), suki (avatar: the last airbender), aunt cass (big hero six), lorelai gilmore (gilmore girls), willow rosenberg (buffy the vampire slayer), janine teagues (abbott elementary), josie (bottoms) aesthetics: game nights hosted at her place, daybreak shining through the window after a night of gaming, bookshelves of fantasy novels (half are read), various papers strewn about a desk, a warm cup of hot chocolate on a cold night, and a comforting hand on your shoulder.

* warning for mild child neglect

BULLET POINTS:

– born to two young and in love parents in malibu, california, birdie was just what the two needed to complete their little family. as an only child, they have never for anything – even if their parents seemed to love each other more than them. – her childhood is spent traveling – italy, france, greece, nigeria, norway, mexico, nicaragua, even antarctica for a one-off trip, among others. she's homeschooled for most of her life, her parents reasoning that traveling was much better for her development than a typical school education would be. sometimes they question if their parents were right, but they can't do much about it now. – birdie's parents always encouraged her to explore her passions, which was usually something adjacent to fantasy, coding, video games, or whatever anime or tv show had pulled her in at that point. because of this they're wonderfully adept at random skills (see headcanons section). – in spite of this, they felt very isolated and alone growing up. turning to the internet was easy (when she had quick access to it), but her parents were often caught up with each other, & she had no siblings to talk to; plus, frequent moves between countries and cities meant she rarely got to make friends that lasted longer than her stay did. their saving grace was when they would travel back to the states to see their family, & they could talk to their favorite cousin, aviva. – this results in birdie becoming very independent and more-or-less self-sufficient from a young age. their emotions, their desires, their dreams, would all be controlled by her (because then she could never be disappointed). from then on, a forgotten birthday or a canceled lunch date from their parents couldn't mess with them as bad, because they could find solace in being alone. – birdie turns 12 and their parents decide that maybe it would be best for her if they settled down somewhere (they were right, she made way more friends). they decide on quilpe, one of their favorite previous travel destinations. she knows the place like the back of her hand now. – her life falls into place easily from there – when they graduate high school, their parents express a desire to begin traveling again, once again wanting to spread their love around the world. birdie, used to this, decides they'd like to stay in what they now deem their home – she gets a degree in computer science from the university, and quickly figures out those jobs aren't really for them. after much deliberation and more than a few career-anxiety-induced breakdowns, birdie takes out a loan to open up casa dragones (thank fucking god it's a hit or they would probably be back in america with their parents). – when their roommate leaves (the amount of horror stories she could tell...), birdie reaches out to her favorite cousin & says that if she ever needs a spot to go, birdie's got her.

HEADCANONS:

— got bullied kinda when she went back to school . they couldn't handle a bad bitch who liked dnd fr :/ – ran their high school's dnd group, went crazy as a dm. — great at coding & a lot of odd tech things – troubleshoots for the store's computers a lot of the time because those bitches like to shut down a lot (they're old). – loves having friends and having functions at her place because it makes them feel a sense of belonging <3 isolation as a kid went crazy – ^ also part of the reason they opened casa dragones. dnd and other ttrpg games were a big reason they weren't so lonely as a teen/younger adult, & birdie wants to make sure anyone else feeling like that has a place to just be themselves. – favorite video game (currently) is baldur's gate 3 (duh)

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

— regulars at casa dragones perhaps ??? mayhaps even coworkers ! — besties ... she's easy to get along with i think ! – who r u going to let them mentor. who is going to be the person they r so protective of and give wise advice to like a sage with tea in their hands — lit anything else idk. fwb. exs. enemies. frenemies. childhood friends . the world is our oyster guys

As someone who is seeing a lot of people over the years get more and more comfortable posting all kinds of sensitive information about themselves online, PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS. Hopefully nothing happens, but also, not everyone moves through this world with good intentions.

Before you post ANYTHING, you need to ask yourself: "if someone wanted to hurt me, would this information help them to do it?" and if the answer is yes, especially if you do not need to post it. DO. NOT. POST. IT. PUBLICLY

This includes:

Your face. A lot of people have jobs (self employed or otherwise) that require you to show your face. If you can, consider wearing a mask or something so that you're not as easily recognizable

Any image or video that would put you in a compromising place legally or for getting a job. Recruiters often look at social media. Even if they're not looking at tumblr itself, media gets crossposted ALL THE TIME. Additionally, if you're in a legal situation, it is really easy for people to take things out of context to create a narrative.

Your general location. If you share that privately, that's one thing but the whole world does not need to see where you are. This includes your current school name or local landmarks. If someone wants to stalk you YAY now they've narrowed down your place of residence to a pretty small radius. Also, keep in mind that any pictures you post have a potential to give away where you are due to whatever's in the background

Related, your place of residence itself, including seemingly innocuous details. Sure, you may just be showing the building itself but not any details of where it's located, but if you're also posting a video of you walking around outside, and then perhaps a different video of you going into your apartment, and another one celebrating the view from your window, etc, now you've shown pretty much the exact route someone can follow you

Your triggers. Sometimes people like to raise awareness for mental disorders. Doing that is one thing, and it's pretty cool. Telling people exactly what it takes to screw you up without even needing to be with you in person isn't the way to go about it. If you are online, manage your own triggers: block/filter people/posts that are going to make you upset. If you need to ask people on a case by case basis to tag something so that you can filter it out if need be. No one is really going to look at your trigger list unless they want to do you harm. If you have an ask guidelines page, put something like "I'd rather not answer asks about x" but don't say that it's because it'll absolutely trash your mental state.

Date of birth. No random stranger, and I mean that. Needs to know your exact date of birth. This includes games like "the month and day of your birthday will tell you what your scary spooky ghost name would be." It's cute. It's also a way for people to get easier access to your personal information

Full name. Especially legal full name. Again. No random stranger needs it. That is a great way for people to stalk you elsewhere.

On that note. DO NOT BE POSTING OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS. Anything government related, driver's license, passport, credit card, plane/train tickets, social security number, all of that. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE PUBLIC.

If you are a minor, please be extra extra careful.

Strauss siblings headcanons? I like all of them but I mean more focus on their relationship with each other. They have so much history and the potential for their developing (familial) feelings towards each other to be explored is ridiculous: before Mira’s arm was taken over, when they were travelling to find answers, when they were in the guild together learning takeover magic and Mira because S-Class eventually, when Elfman lost control of his full body beast soul and injured Lisanna before she ‘died’/went to Edolas against her will while Mira was overseeing them (it was an S-Class one and she was the only S-Class), when Lisanna was gone (but missing Earthland siblings while acting for her Edolas siblings) and Mira worked in customer service and admin type roles rather than use her magic while Elfman only used his arm as they all grieved, when Lisanna came back and Mira and Elfman were both using magic their magic to its full potential, after the 7 year timeskip (they were all on Tenrou) and then after the one year timeskip. Thanks so much. I love your Lisanna, Elfman and Mirajane appreciation posts.

Elfman is actually a lot stronger than his usual battles tend to imply. The Beast was a serious threat in its day, enough to have S-Class Mirajane so badly on the backfoot that she said herself she was getting beaten pretty badly. However, Elfman is still extremely cautious about how much he taps into his Beast Soul forms due to the experience of being unable to turn back and what happened to Lisanna. On raw power, he's definitely S-Class, but he holds back a lot due to restricting himself very stringently to what he knows is safe to use.

Speaking of Lisanna, the canon scenes imply (because Mashima had no plan when bringing her back) that when Anima took her as she was dying, she just...kind of glowed and turned into light particles, when it was previously implied Lisanna died on the spot and was buried. We're gonna tweak this slightly: Mirajane and Elfman actually buried Edolas Lisanna, who Anima swapped with Earthland Lisanna as they were both dying in unrelated incidents and who is actually the one Mirajane knelt with as she was dying.

All of the Strauss siblings are magnets for attention. Elfman and Lisanna are both a little dense about it and both unsure how to proceed when it's brought to their attention, but they have about the same amount of admirers as Mirajane. Strauss genes, man, they're just really pretty.

There are some secret Beast Souls Elfman's got access to but that's not for here or now. 🤍 I don't give away my fic plots that easily.

The whole family loves animals and I know that's already apparent but listen, there's never gonna be anyone you can trust more with animal care than Elfman and Lisanna. It's at least canon those two outright helped incubate/raise Happy, okay? They regularly volunteer at animal shelters, too, and anytime there's a mission involving animals, they take it.

Elfman is especially good friends with Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus, while Lisanna is especially close to Wendy. Elfman, because he knows what it's like to share a part of yourself with a powerful entity that affects your body, and Lisanna because she's very serene and really gets Wendy's pacifistic nature, they're both very in touch with the natural world around them.

Lisanna has a natural aversion to Beast Soul and Demon Soul takeovers, she's simply too gentle for them. However, she is remarkably gifted with Take Over in general. She's able to rapidly chain different Take Over forms one after another when this would exhaust a lesser wizard, and can even mix-and-match certain elements of them.

Anyone wanting to date literally any Strauss sibling has to pass at least two checks, one from each remaining sibling. Elfman thinks he's the one who takes it most seriously and is most aggressive about it. He is not.

I'm glad you like my posts! 💚

Why Meghan's PR Fails by u/C-La-Canth

Why Meghan's PR Fails People on here often comment on the way Meghan seems stuck in the 1990s. Her fashion sense, her blog and podcast topics, her Backgrid pap shots: all refer to images that feel out of date by 20 or 30 years. I think that's why her PR has also failed. The Internet has changed the rules. Once upon a time, you could hire a team who could orchestrate your image. Get a nice photograph spread in People! Do something that would get you a 3-minute spot on Entertainment Tonight! Have a nice article in a woman's magazine about your cooking skills, fashion, or parenting -- and you controlled your narrative. The world would love you because everything they could access about you made you seem lovable. The dirty side was flipped over, and only the shiny clean side was viewed. But now, you can't control your image as easily. Too many voices can speak out. Rich people, poor people, even ostrich-skin boot-wearers can get on the Internet and give their opinions. This is where Harry and Meghan's great fail is. Neither of them are willing to respect the power of the common voice. They are trying to keep a pool full of corks from bobbing up, and it's impossible. You might sink one temporarily, but hundreds will still pop up, no matter how many puff pieces, lies, and fake photos you disseminate. Your past can no longer be erased, and if you were too stupid or corrupted to be a person with an honorable history, then your only recourse is to face it head-on and show remorse, grow, and improve. That's another fatal flaw that H & M possess. They're so arrogant and short-sighted that the best they'll ever do is flail helplessly in their own swamp, forever batting down corks that just pop back up. I see no way they can find redemption because they refuse to move to the present day and adjust to a new world. post link: https://ift.tt/RNvkbOh author: C-La-Canth submitted: October 20, 2023 at 01:21PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

So I want to talk about the senate hearing today. I only just watched some highlights, but here's my thoughts anyway.

Actually, I just looked up who the people are who testified and that does temper some of my excitement. Still!

So this was an interview with some whistle blowers who supposedly have first hand knowledge of much of what's been going on in the background. Which really means, these are just some guys making claims. But apparently they're credible enough to get an 8 hour televised senate committee hearing, so I'm going to continue talking about this as though everything they said is true.

I think the most important piece of this is the timeline. Apparently government officials have had knowledge of non-human intelligence since the 30's. There has also been communication with these other lifeforms, not sure if that had a stated start date. Which follows that for at least the past almost 100 years, these lifeforms have been here but staying quiet and hidden. Most likely as some sort of agreement with the officials they've been in contact with.

One thing I thought was interesting was the reluctance to say "extra terrestrial". You could easily chock it up to a scientist not wanting to say without significant evidence, but maybe he has reason to suspect they are in fact terrestrial. With that idea, my mind goes to squids. Super intelligent deep sea squids who have been outpacing humans in technological development.

The other most likely scenario would be if they were from somewhere else in our solar system. The best candidate for that is Europa, the ice moon of Jupiter. Which, if they do have life, is most likely aquatic in nature which kind of still says squids.

The least likely scenario that still has some precedent behind it is that the beings are from Planet X. A "planet" which is as of yet unconfirmed to exist. This being true would lend a lot of credibility to the emerald tablets.

The final possibility is of course outside our solar system. That being true would completely change our understanding of the universe. It also is near impossible to say anything of merit about possible motives.

Here's what I think about those possibilities. I'm going to try to explain why they're here and hanging around as well as why they've agreed to keep quiet for so long. As far as why the human officials want to keep them hidden, the two obvious reasons are preventing public hysteria and getting special access to some limited resource. But really, humans are inherently irrational creatures and do stupid things pretty much constantly. Me included. Anyway.

First, Earth Squids. This is actually the easiest to explain. They also want to explore the universe. The crafts we are finding is them doing tests and trying to create a ship that can traverse outer space, and they're much closer than we are. They would rather not work with humans because we would slow them down and we're fighting all the time. That and our extremely different anatomies make it difficult to develop a craft we could share. That or they don't want to be nuked.

Next up I'll bring up the Anunnaki. Because, again, if that's real, then The Emerald Tablets are very likely to have a good amount of truth to them. They would probably be here with their tail between their legs a bit given the massive failures depicted. Scoping things out and trying to make things better all this time later. They wouldn't want to get too involved for fear of re-fucking things up. It would also make sense with the timeline because they apparently live 100s of Earth years.

The Europan Space Squids are probably the most difficult to theorize on. It would make sense to want to explore the only other place in the solar system with life on it. There are many little reasons to keep quiet, nothing big enough to be obvious enough to state here, at least for what I can think of. Though, if they are actually squids, that changes things significantly. They could not care about humans and being putting their efforts into connecting and possibly rescuing their brethren in the oceans. Or maybe Earth squids are actually from Europa and have been here doing research. It also brings up a less accurate version of the emerald tablets with all that entails.

Those possibilities all have some degree of not fully being extra terrestrial. If they are truly foreign to our planet, the only explanation that really fits is that they're researching. That could mean in a Star Trek scientific way of just wanting to gather knowledge. Or it could be in a opposition way to determine the most efficient method of eradication. This also applies if the Europans are not squids.

Those are my ideas based on what I heard said today. Purely conjecture from a layman. I don't even know how much I believe in any of this, but it's great fun to think about. This is still the most official thing we've seen regarding the existence of non-human intelligent life. I'd love to see it, and now I see a possibility of it in my lifetime. I won't respond quickly but please let me know what you think. Especially if you're not human.

imogen, laudna, and romance: cr3e27 part 1

though i didn't write a meta for episode 26 i'm back to break down some of the juicy first-half tidbits from the most recent critical role episode!

topics include: laudna & dusk | romance brain

and keep an eye out for part 2!

dusk asks laudna out

now, there are a few things outside of the whole situation that we can factor into this discussion: a) that dusk will eventually double-cross the group and b) that erika ishii the icon has a critical role romance hit list.

let's talk about point a (which to be honest is more relevant). there's a finesse to dusk's choices that i just love. for one, the bumbling, clumsy, enthusiastic character choice was perfect. it's hard not to trust someone who seems so open with their flaws and with the things that they forget.

but what's even more brilliant is that dusk has actually gotten close with the group, and not just in a "you saved me, thank you!! :)" way. because even that doesn't earn trust. not in the way that being a confidante does, not in the way that showing concern over backstory lore and protecting fearne when she's about to get rat-squished does.

if you didn't know dusk was a traitor, you could easily be fooled by the intimacy of it all, of growing to care about people. and what other way to both earn trust and to gain leverage over someone by "falling in love" with them?

it's a vulnerable position, to ask someone out. if you were doubtful about dusk (which i suspect orym and chetney, or at least liam and travis, are starting to wonder about), it's hard to feel like the sweet, shy person asking you on a date will backstab you. but also, becoming romantically entangled is an awfully good way to get someone to do something that you want.

think about it: when imogen and laudna (not saying they're romantically involved) were fighting, laudna would have done anything imogen asked her to do. and dusk likely saw this and thought: here is someone, when she cares about people, is so vulnerable and so desperate to maintain her sense of stability in her relationships that she will do anything to fix it.

possibly, even in the face of betrayal. here is someone dusk could potentially have on their side, if laudna cares about them enough.

it's a wonderful strategic choice. and for erika, it's also a great way for them to stir the pot for the gays, even though they've already checked marisha off the list in spectacular fashion. if only imogen were more approachable...

romance brain

so, laudna's reaction. i think it was valid and heartbreaking and charming all at once. she was quite literally blindsided by dusk there, right before a conversation she had been dreading for days, so it's understandable that she wouldn't be able to really present an answer.

and that's something people don't talk about. you can get blindsided by people seeking relationships with you, but you don't owe anyone anything, especially if you're not ready.

but what i also found interesting was that laudna said: "i haven't accessed that part of my brain in 50 years" and imogen's response is "it would be strange to access that."

hello, headcanon that imogen is aromantic hehe

in all seriousness: i've been thinking lately about the expectations that have been placed on imodna since the beginning for a romantic relationship- but to me, neither of them are really built to intensely strive for that?

imogen has gone through so much with reading people's minds, hearing the awfulness of humanity, and being shunned for being who she is. the intimacy of romance, then, i feel like would feel really hard for her, because like she said about dates: "you're in their mind and you're hearing what you're doing wrong." and that's just it, isn't it?

it's hard to have a relationship (or even a friendship, as has been illustrated by her dynamics with everyone) when you know you can delve into their mind and just find out what's going on. it's hard to have a relationship when the very part that makes you you can be very off-putting and is something you always have to keep in check.

and she's heard the worst of the world, and every horrible part about romantic relationships. so perhaps i do headcanon that she's aromantic, because romance is hard and wouldn't it just make sense, if romance just doesn't click with her because she's familiar with intimacy both at its worst, and in the smallest, minute thoughts of the people around her? and to her, aren't the thoughts of friendship equally as gentle, and thoughtful, and beautiful as romance?

and then there's laudna, who is quite literally undead, and like she said, also hasn't accessed that part of her brain for 50 years, and that so much has been going on that she hasn't had time for that.

and i totally get that, too, when you're so focused on pushing forward and improving yourself and working towards better that you don't have time for romance, and the notion isn't that appealing.

that's not saying that i'll be at all upset if they do become canon (because let's be honest, the cast loves their party romances and who am i to protest amazing character moments and beautiful relationships), because i think that would also be beautiful in its own way, but i do think imogen and laudna at least won't be jumping into a relationship in the near future, for the reasons i talked about.

either way, i'm excited a) for the joy of a queer platonic relationship or b) a wonderfully delicious slow burn like you wouldn't believe.

the conversation was brilliantly played and wonderful in that it acknowledged everything that each of them had done wrong. i'm very glad that the first thing, really, imogen apologizes for was not checking in on laudna after she was controlled by delilah. she acknowledges how terrible that would have been and how scary it was and i think that is really the most important aspect of this argument to have been covered.

because, as people have pointed out in my asks (which i accidentally deleted, so sorry to that user) laudna was compromised and taken advantage of for someone else's own gain, and when she needed a friend, imogen wasn't there for her.

luckily, it seems like imogen is very aware of that fact. and i suspect that she will make every effort to be there every step of the delilah journey from here on out.

but laudna also acknowledged what imogen had been through: that breaking the rock was wrong, even if it wasn't technically her fault, and that imogen had gone through a dream alone.

i'm also glad they talked without fcg, because ultimately, it gave each of them (laudna, imogen, and fcg) the chance to get what they needed out of the conversations of that night, without feeling like they had to put on a performance for someone else, or pretend that fcg's style of therapy was working for them when in the end, it ended up being so simple.

laudna and imogen, just them, the way that everything started. and i think that's beautiful.

1, 8, 19, 25 :)

1. Song of the year?

I was gonna say this was difficult to answer, but

Still emotionally devastating to listen to <- enjoys it

excessive rambling under the cut now, yippee

8. Game of the year?

Going to simply cheat a bit and put several bc I can't pick only one with all the bangers there were this year lol

1: Outer Wilds, of course :') if I wasn't being a cheater and bad choice maker, then this would easily be my top favorite of the year. Literally changed my life, thank you, outer wilds (I will never recover)

2: Slime rancher 2! It's still early access, but it's been *so* fun so far. It takes everything I loved about the first one and improves greatly upon it. Lots of super good QOL improvements, super pretty locations (the observatory where you farm slimes is my favorite thing ever), and a great soundtrack, of course :) i have very high hopes for the future of it, just with how good it already is

3: Tears of the kingdom!! My most highly anticipated game for several years :) very big thing for me, yk, since tloz is the special interest i've had for the longest :> I didn't think there'd even be a sequel, three wholes games is so ! It is just very important to me, and it's bittersweet to finally see the end of this era for a lot of reasons, but especially bc I'll miss this incarnation of hyrule.

4: Ultrakill ..... gave it a hesitant shot, very unsure of if I could really enjoy it, and V1 simply grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and slam dunked me into the depths of Ultrakill hell. Very cool! I am insane! There are so many tropes in it that are my most favorites, and that I am just completely feral about it, and I can feel this game changing me as we speak 🥲

5: Subnautica! I watched So Many let's plays of it before, but didn't have the chance to try it bc my shitty old laptop would have had a stroke trying to run it. It's been very cool to finally play it! Just as spooky as I thought it would be. Ocean very scary. I still haven't finished the last chunk of the game bc the really deep parts scare me so bad. We'll get there 👍 (genuinely scarier to me than most horror games... thalassophobia momence)

Small acknowledgement for elden ring bc it still managed to be my most played game this year, despite me finally getting back into playing a lot of viddy games. Also terraria! Had been a hot second since I played it. First time I experienced the full journey's end update, actually :] (this is such a ridiculously long response, apologies)

19. What’re you excited about for next year?

I might be forgetting something, but I dont think there's any one particular thing. But like, I am excited in general to see where the year takes me. I'd like to hope that if I'm becoming somewhat functional now, maybe when there's Actually Sun it'll help even more .... seasonal depression got hands

25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one

Nova !! My beloved. They're my favorite of all the ocs i made this year, and it's not even close. Creating them and putting time into writing for them (and even drawing) is one of the things I'm proudest of myself for doing this year. It's been so fun, and this is also the first experience I've had putting my oc & work into public eye that didn't turn sour, so! Very happy about that!

There's so much to them, and there's so much I still need to write for them. In due time. Whenever my brain allows me.

They're a nervous wreck (timeloop really exacerbates this) and not very confident, but they're passionate and ambitious and determined. Facing their fears of space (because what other option do they have, really?)

Honestly just like. I've gotten a ton of inspiration from them, and it's been my most consistent endeavor with my writing to date. I tend to burn out really badly when I try to create, but I still have a lot of plans/ideas/inspiration rattling around in my brain for them. Like, even despite the writer's block :') excited to get back to creating for them when that particular motivation makes its way back to me

#sorry i rambled so much i was possessed 😔🤙#thank you for the ask also :)#miles rambles

Reading your dream made me want to share my dream. Because it's been sitting on my mind the role day for some reason and that's not something that happens often. I hope you don't mind me just sharing it, i feel like i need to put it out there.

I dreamed that i was late to school. mind you, i'm 31 years old and so i was in the dream, I feel.

And the school was the one i studied until i was 14 years old. my home wasn't my home or any home i ever lived in. in the dream i woke up at the correct time but took too long getting ready. like school started at 9 and it was getting close to 10. (Never had lessons starting at that weird time until college when i choose late classes because i lived a bit far away from school) I somehow had no material for school other than a folder with loose paper, both used and blank one,s and a pencil case, my bag was a simple tote bag. (that also struck to me as strange but i felt like i was trying to just not go empty handed to something i wasn't ready for.) I was finishing getting ready when a friend called me asking if i was okay and why i was late. This friend is someone i met by the time i was on the second half of my college years, he was saying the first class would be at the pool, since they were wanting to revitalize the school's sportive center. the school does have a sports center but no pool in reality. I somehow get in time even thought i previously was almost a hour late, when i see my classmates they're mostly people i did go to school with. plus the friend from college. we all on our 30's. we were also accessing the sports center through the street not the footbridge the school has linking the two buildings like we used to do. when we get there the pool is not only pretty much underground it also is in a awful state. most of the tiles are missing and broken, the water doesn't even fill half the pool and it's very dirty, almost bog like. One of the boys that i remember from my school years jump down into it and kinda walks around while everyone else kinda says 'eww', he than jumps out of it and starts to playfully chase the girls that made more noise when he went in, including the girl he was dating at the time we went to school, they start to scream and giggle trying to dodge him. he was wearing a coral bating suit. and then i woke up! It's funny... i don't usually see faces very well in my dreams, i know who people are, but the faces are not clear, but this is the second dream in less than a month where the faces of a few people were very clear to me. and last time it wasn't even someone i know.

I mentioned some time ago earlier this year that something has shifted in dreams. I've always seen people in my dreams and they're just something vague. Now, I can see them clearly, sometimes I even know their names. If I could draw portraits, I could draw them easily because they're as clear as a day (and these aren't real people, mind you).

It was fun that you shared that dream with me because I keep having the same dream theme! Not so much anymore, but occasionally it comes up. I need to go to school and I'm late. Sometimes it's been already 3 months and I have forgotten to go to the school. Sometimes, I manage to get to the school but I don't know where my class is, what subject I'm having etc.

I always read school dreams as "Okay, listen; you've already gone through that literal life lesson. No need to try to backtrack and do it again. No need to. You're done with it. Let it go."

Sometimes, I have dreams were I have to perform but I have don't know how to do it. It can be a beauty pageant competition, a dance competition, a singing competition, or a play which I have role in but I don't know what it is. I don't know my lines or my cues.

Once, I tried to escape from the theater, right before the play starts, through a window but I couldn't. Billy Idol was sleeping on the window sill. I tried to move him but he was too heavy. I tried to open the window but it kept hitting his head. Then, I woke up and I knew the message was "We know it's scary and you have no idea what's going on, but you have to stay where you are. You're at the right place, it's going to be OK. Don't run. We won't let you because it will hurt you. You're save".

𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 !

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 : Spük / Spuk / Spooky, whichever is easier

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐒 : He/Him | They/Them

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 : Tumblr ims to start unless we're already talking then it's discord. It's just easier to reach me there, but unfortunately I keep it pretty private due to really bad experiences in the past. Though if our muses are already connected through egg, you are more than welcome to ask for it too!

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄(𝐒): Everyone in my doc who I will not be typing out, because that's way too tedious, but primarily Tarhos Kovács / The Knight, Danny Johnson / The Ghostface, Karthus / The Deathsinger, and a few ocs. In the past I've written a human, normal, and bloodmoon Thresh / The Chain Warden before Rito ruined my love for him, Galaxy Xayah, Pyke / The Bloodharbor Ripper, Vladimir / The Crimson Reaper, Sylas / The Unshackled and an old kid league oc when I first started writing on tumblr.

𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 / 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 ( 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒 / 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 ) : I've been roleplaying in general starting on R.oblox when I was 9 or 10, then moved to D.eviantart, then to S.kype and then finally to T.umblr when I was like 13 I think? 12 or 13. So over a decade pretty much, almost a decade on T.umblr itself which is wild.

𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 : By far meeting Egg, we've been dating for 7 months now and they're a very big part of my life that I am very excited about. I'm very passionate about everything they do and every time we hang out it's a highlight of my night. I'm so excited to be moving closer to them next year, so that we'll hopefully be able to hang out more regularly in person than just one trip I'm planning in April. I will never not hype up Egg and their work, they're so talented and genuinely just such an incredible person.

𝐑𝐏 𝐏𝐄𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐒 / 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒 : Something that's always bothered me since the time of themes being popular, but I feel like is still a really huge issue with docs and carrds becoming the main way we tell our muse information is accessibility. I'm sorry, but if I can't read anything about your blog I'm not following you, if your formatting gives me a headache and I don't even have vision issues you really need to rethink how you're writing, if I can't tell what your icons are even supposed to be because they're 5x5 px and crusted out the ass that they look like a single pixel that's not an aesthetic babe that's a bad early 2000s webpage. Of course there's also certain fandoms I won't touch with 10ft pole, but generally the biggest thing I've soft blocked people over is accessibility, because I don't care if you write fandoms I don't care for, but I sure as hell don't want to interact with people who think their aesthetic is way more important than just being accessible when most writers I've written with have some sort of visual processing disability and they're all fucking incredible.

Oh and if you have anything relating to not interacting with female muses or ocs in your bio i'm hard blocking you, but I think that's self explanatory.

𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅, 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐓, 𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐌𝐔𝐓 : I do really like fluff, but I really enjoy angst with all types of interactions just due to the nature of muses I have on this blog. Smut I have to be in the mood to write which is why there can be no smut for months on my blog and then I drop a 600 word reply randomly at 6 am.

𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 : While I do enjoy plots and will happily plot with anyone, I just think memes are easier. They're something I can easily type up a response for instead of someone having to wait for me to be in the right mood to write and not be busy (especially with the holidays coming up) and just be waiting for a starter. I promise I don't mean to be slow with things, adhd just has massive fucking hands that it grabs me with sometimes!

𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐒 : Genuinely the shortest replies I will do for anything that's not a one-off joke interaction are 1-2 paras, I hate writing single sentence rp it doesn't give me enough to work off of. By that extension I prefer long replies depending on what it is of course, someone cooking in the kitchen with someone else doesn't need 6000 words obviously, but I do like me some writing inner monologues.

𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 : I get the most motivation at times when I should be asleep which is as funny as it is me getting to bed super late at ungodly hours, but because of that I don't expect replies immediately. I even tend to just queue things when I do write, because with how awful t.umblrs notifs have been recently, it gives it a better chance that my partner will see it!

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄(𝐒) : I'm out here hitting all my muses with my trans-beams to fill my government assigned quota for the lgbt agenda to be honest. But in all seriousness, I think everyone tends to put a tiny bit of themselves into every muse they write and that's what makes rp so much fun!

Tagged by: No one, I stole it from someone who I can't remember because this has been sitting in my drafts for so long-

Tagging: No one, because idk who hasn't been tagged

#ooc #not me who kept forgetting to do this even though I wanted to-#q.

MG Educational Lecture Contribution: My Disabled Gardening Nonsense

I'm helping the lady I was going to swap dates with, with her presentation on "Disability Aids and Methods in Gardening" / "Making Gardening More Accessible". I figured I'd cross-post the information I gave her on my Garden and what I've used so far in case it helps anyone else here.

What does my garden look like, and what's in it?

My Garden's stuffed into an unutilized space between our garage and our neighbor's fence. As a result, it's quite long and thin- coming in at 16 and 1/2 feet long, and 7 and 1/2 feet wide.

Because I have bad hips and bad knees, I can't bend over or kneel down too easily- but I also can't stand for very long, either. So I use a combination of low Raised Beds and Pots to garden. That way I have a nice happy medium and I can sit, stand, and bend in rotation- never staying in one position too long (or able to switch around through various tasks as my body complains it needs a break).

The Tools I Use To Help Myself Out

Plant Stands / Pot Lifters: I use a combination of tall and short Plant Stands / Pot Lifters not only to give me more space in the garden, but also so I don't have to bend over quite so much when dealing with the Potted plants.

Stools: I have a little metal wire stool / foot rest thing (or, when I can't use that, a giant plastic single-step stool) that I sit on while dealing with the lower Pots and Raised Beds. That way I don't have to kneel down or stoop over super low; I prefer the little white one out of the two because it's much smaller and lighter weight. So not only is it easier for me to carry around, it also fits my the tiny garden space so much better than the big black one.

Vegetal Vehicles: My Garden is such a small space with weird lighting- and there's always leaves getting stuck between Pots and in corners. So I have to move things a lot ... But because I'm a weakling who can't lift things and is prone to hurting itself frequently (especially while lifting things it shouldn't be lifting- like very large, very heavy Plant Pots), I have the largest pots on little roller things in order to help me move them around. It makes it a lot easier on me, and reduces the weight of the Pots significantly.

Update On The Vegetal Vehicles: I do not recommend these specific ones from Walmart. We bought them for $8 USD apiece and've had them less than a month now, and most of them are already broken at the wheels. Meanwhile the neon orange ones we have from Lowe's, which we paid roughly $17 apiece for, are now 3 years old and're still holding steady; moral: it pays to actually invest in the better ones.

The Importance of Rest

It's Oklahoma. It's a small space. The lighting is weird. All of this means it's often hot, even if I get out there early. Several of my meds make me Photosensitive, several of my disorders make me Heat Sensitive and screw with my ability to self-regulate my Temperature- and I get winded easily, have low endurance, and have Asthma that's prone to flaring especially whenever I strain my body through things like active labor.

All of this means I take lots of little breaks while I'm working so I don't get overheated or overwhelmed- but the stool gets uncomfortable after a while. So there's an adjustable / tiltable Umbrella and a full rocking Bench in the garden for me. That way I can sit and relax as needed (the bench usually has Pillows and a cushion on it, but they're not on it at the moment since the weather's been a bit wild lately).

I hope this helps anyone!

If you have any questions about anything I do or use, or want more information on something related to my garden (disability related or not), please don't hesitate to ask! I'm more than happy to give any additional information or even just chat about my gardening adventures all day long.

Just be aware that if you're specifically asking about disability stuff, I'm still only a couple years into my own journey with Gardening and disability- and I've mostly been bumbling aimlessly through it on my own; I don't know why, but I've never thought to research it for some dumb reason.

I'm also more than happy to have others share their own advice for gardening with their own disabilities on this post! I'd actually love to hear it!

This is what works from me based on my own experience. If you found this helpful or interesting, please consider Tipping or Leaving a Ko-Fi (being Disabled, even $1 helps); you can see my other "Original Content" here.
