#How To Give Reiki To Animals
Text
Choose a dino! Your life purpose.
Pile 1
You probably had some bad experiences but you are able to overcome it. And after that you will be even stronger, and smarter in a way too. It can be that you will help someone who will have the same struggles as you. Sometimes you can feel hopeless and like you don't know what to do. But you will be able to choose or make decisions more easily, and also you will learn how to stand up for yourself and have boundaries. One of your life lesson is to find balance and harmony within yourself. Be in peace with yourself and with the world. You are probably very creative and you should practice your creativity more, express yourself freely. If you want to have a family, it will definitely happen. I think children and animals are drown to you. If you don't want children, than you will have some significant pets in your life too. You will have a happy and abundant family life. Whatever you wish for, a partner, children, pets, a garden...
Pile 2
There will be some new beginnings in your life, and even if you wanted it, it still can be hard at first. But you have all the ability to succeed. You should have more faith in yourself. You are smart. You are good at manifestation, some of you can have some psychic abilities too. Maybe you are a wanderer, an explorer, but it's not a bad thing, one day you will see clearly what your real purpose is. You will probably move a few times, travel a lot. If you want to go to a foreign country, it will definitely happen. Some of you can have a long distance relationship too. You should embrace your romantic nature and focus more on your inner child too. Have fun, be free, the world needs sensitive, joyful people too! You can have some unique ideas, unique lifestyle, and it's beautiful. Some of you can be some kind of healers too, not neccesseraly doctors, maybe reiki or just you have a healing presence and it will help someone when they really need it.
Pile 3
There will be some hard time in your life, and at that time you won't see that in the end of the day, it's better that it happened that way. Even if it's a betrayal, lie, loss of someone, everything will teach you something. And nothing last forever, hard times come to an end too. There's always a new day, a new beginning. You should accept changes. You will take time for soul searching, seeking answers, and you will have some inner wisdom. You are probably an old soul. You can overcome anything eventually, just have self-control, focus on what you want. You need to be open, be positive, don't give up hope. There's some divine timing and fate working in your life, but looking back you will see that actually you were lucky. You have a soulmate in this life, and that meeting will be something unexpected probably. Be confident, you will be a succesful person.

Tonight I will be performing my first Reiki session since 2000. Once upon a time I was preparing to perform reiki as a career. I had all the tools I needed, pamphlets made, a web page, the credit card machine, etc. And then Covid happened.
As I am diving back into my notes from 2020 I came across the below. It explains what reiki is and how one of my sessions usually works.
Dave (Das Energi) been a practicing Buddhist, meditating regularly for over 15 years. He has identified as a healer since high school when he would give massages for fun to friends and family. Through his hugs and touch, Dave transmutes negative energy into positive.
Dave had his Kundalini Awakening experience in 2014. Since then he has connected to his global soul family including shamans, witches, healers, and the divine. He is a beacon of light and love, guiding others on their spiritual path. He is a Kundalini Reiki Master and also a Level II Usui Reiki Practitioner.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a combination of two Japanese kanji characters: "Rei" meaning universal spirit and "Ki" meaning life force energy. During a Reiki session, the Reiki practitioner connects with the universal energy source and places their hands on or above the recipient with the intention to encourage emotional, physical, or spiritual well-being.
Reiki is not a massage but rather a healing technique of "laying hands" which has been used for thousands of years across several cultures and continents. Most people find Reiki to be relaxing, however sensitivity to energy differs from person to person.
No two Reiki sessions are exactly alike. A session will begin by discussing the recipient’s intentions for receiving Reiki and if they are experiencing any discomfort either physically, emotionally, or spiritually. This information will be helpful in guiding the practitioner during the healing.
The recipient and the practitioner will then ground their energies with the Earth, and breathe together so that their energies are in sync and harmonized.
The recipient will then lay down, fully clothed, on a massage table and be encouraged to close their eyes and meditate or notice any bodily sensations that may arise during the session. The Reiki practitioner will then conduct a body scan, feeling if any of the recipient’s chakras are out of alignment or an auric cleansing needs to be done.
The Reiki practitioner will lay their hands on the recipient’s body and follow their intuition laying their hands on several bodily locations. It is important to note that Reiki energy will flow to other parts of the body. For example, if the Reiki practitioner lays hands on the recipient’s feet, the energy may travel to the recipient’s lower-back, or if hands are laid on the stomach, the energy may travel to the neck. The Reiki energy knows where it needs to go, even if neither the recipient nor the practitioner is aware.
During the final moments, the Reiki session will be closed with a brief sound bath. The practitioner will then seal the energy field and ground the recipient back to the Earth with breathwork again.
Everything is energy. The physical body is electrical and so are our thoughts and brain functions. Our thoughts form energy patterns and create emotions that affect our aura/electrical field. Our energy field interacts and influences everything around us including other humans, plants, and animals; even the food we eat is affected by the energy of the person preparing it. We are surrounded by energetic fields and it is common for people to unconsciously draw on the energy of others around them, affecting their emotions and vitality.
When there is an imbalance in the body, it is stuck energy. Energy must always move, and when it cannot, it will find the weakest part of the physical body where it will manifest itself into some type of challenge.
Reiki allows the universal life force to flow through us so that a heart-mind alignment can occur, releasing lower energy vibrations like fear, worry, anxiety, stress, anger, and disappointment. It brings balance to emotions, thoughts, biological processes, energy centers, and helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and stress within the body.
For Reiki to do the best work you will also need to be a participant in the healing process. You must be open to the healing energy to flow within you. The Reiki practitioner is only a facilitator of healing, and it is the positive intentions of the recipient that affects the outcome most dramatically.
Everything in the universe is made of energy, therefore Reiki can be performed on everything in the universe. Most people use Reiki to clear their own energetic blockages, but it can also be used on our beloved pets when they need a boost of positive energy or as an alternative to using sage to clear our homes of negative energy (ideal for those sensitive to smoke or smells).

❀࿐ Shinigami Biology 101
Shinigami are one of the races of spirits that exist within Reikai. They are the personification of Death, spirits born of the Sanzu River and designated guides to the afterlife for residents of Ningenkai and Makai. Among the spirits, they alone (along with divine spirits; Koenma and Enma, ordained by their rulership of Reikai) are granted the innate power to cross the Sanzu River, to interact with souls of the dead, and traverse the boundaries between Life and Death. They are also characterized as different from both demons, humans, and other spirit types by a few select reasons.
Shinigami are long lived species, capable of living for a thousand years. While they can be killed, it's incredibly difficult to do so. They have a high healing factor and regenerative abilities, heightened by their proximity to the Sanzu River as their source of power. They reproduce sexually with a gestation period of around six months. Shinigami have always been referred to as beings 'born of the River', and in a way they are. There's a calm spot in the Sanzu River and built along it's shore are maternity houses. Before giving birth, the mother will stay here so she can be close to the River and will have a water birth in the shallows. She'll be instinctively drawn the water the way animals return to the same grounds they were born on. It's believed that this is how the River comes to recognize a new shinigami and grant them their powers. They'll usually stay close until both mother and baby are stable enough to travel home. There is usually a midwife stationed there to help.
Because of this, Shinigami are connected to the Sanzu from birth. The River is a power in and of itself, the barrier between Life and Death and the source of it all. You cannot cross the waters without a Shinigami and trying to do so will likely result in your becoming trapped beneath the waves, your soul suspended in a sort of Limbo, never able to move on and your body sinking to the bottom. This is what makes Shinigami the only beings capable of becoming ferrymen. All other beings must be escorted across the river by boat.
When a Shinigami dies, their body is returned to the River and given a water burial. Their soul becomes one with the water, completing the cycle and further empowering the River.
Like all conscious beings, Shinigami have a well of Reiki within them from which their spiritual powers are born. Power levels differ for each individual and can be improved with proper training. A certain threshold must be met in order to become a ferryman in order to reliably travel through worlds and protect oneself. While Botan isn't particularly powerful in comparison to others in the series, her power shows in different capacities other than raw strength and she's decently powerful in terms of Spirits. For Shinigami, this aura is usually shown as a pale, watery blue.
We know that Demons, unlike humans, do not consider the heart organ to be the source of life. Yusuke's heart stopped following the awakening of his Mazoku genes and all 'lifeblood' was transferred to his Demon's core instead. Spirits have a similar organ, a Spirit Core, from which their power originates. Shinigami's cores are often described as running water, trapped in a glass orb. To destroy this core would result in the death of the Shinigami and an incredible outpouring of energy, like a broken damn, as the Reiki tries to return to the Sanzu. But it's a difficult task.
What truly sets Shinigami apart from other beings is that they lack Life Energy. They're the embodiment of Death, after all. Because of this, expending their Reiki beyond it's limits can have severe consequences and they lack any sort of 'reserve' from which to draw from in dire situations. A Shinigami pushed too far may start to physically break down and must return to the Sanzu to recover. In this instance, their core may act to protect the Shinigami on the River's behalf, drawing energy from outside sources, sometimes siphoning life energy from nearby organic sources such as plants and animals. This is strictly a last resort tactic.
Shinigami have a special vision subset that allows them to view the power cores and life energy of other beings. Life energy begins to naturally deplete at time of death, sped up by cause of death. Viewing this allows the Shinigami to know exactly when the physical body will die and the soul will disembark. It's like metaphysical x-ray.
Because of their connection to it, Shinigami are at their most powerful when close to the Sanzu River and things like their healing factor and recovery abilities are heightened when near the water. A gravely injured Shinigami may sit in the shallows to recover quicker. Plants grown on the River banks are often used in Shinigami medicine. If this medicine were to be used by other species, it would have an adverse, nearly corrosive effect.
Shinigami have a subset of innate abilities ( some of which are further explained here )
- Utilization of Reiki ( Spirit gun is an example of this )
- Defensive skills ( Healing, both self and others, purification, and barrier creation )
- Calming Aura
- Intangibility ( unseen to all except the soul their retrieving )
- Telepathy
- Flight
- Mastery of the Sanzu River
- Interactions with the souls of the deceased and the Afterlife
- Water attunement ( not elemental control but rather scrying, mediumship, and communication )
#this got Real Long#but im all about the lore and since t/ogashi sensei gives use Nothing about SW#i will create my own food#❀࿐ a memory can make a flower bloom ( headcanons. )

So you are either Zumpie on yet another sock account or you are desperately needing her validation. Either way you licking her 57 year old pussy and in her lili hate club so you get attention. It’s pathetic you admire such a vile woman (who has a 23 year old daughter who wears doll clothes and carry’s stuffed animals in public) who’s priority is hating a 26 year old celebrity-neat.
You should really reevaluate your hero’s and get a life. Find better ways to spend your time. 💋
I haven't written to you or read or searched for you, who needs validation? I don't always agree with Zumpie but she's the only one who dares to say all the pettiness and falsehoods that Lili does, that she's a real lowlife hypocrite. You should find someone better to look up to. I don't care about your opinion, go give it to whoever cares, or go to all those toxic hate dumps that are everywhere towards Cole who has never done anything to you and who has always been very careful never to say anything against Lili, no matter how much she deserved it. If you don't like what Zumpie says and that I retweet, find another reading appropriate to your level, maybe some Reiki self-help book that makes you think you are better than the rest, while you continue to judge, threaten and drag everyone down who have different opinions than yours.

Channeling an Animatronic?
Feb. 21st, 2023
When I first entered the attraction, W disappeared. This is not unusual as Country Bears is his favorite attraction and he usually zips away whenever I enter it. I remembered on my own from a previous energy encounter with this attraction that I needed to either be in the very front or very back to connect properly, per W’s own instructions. I chose the front.
W was right. The middle of the audience was a dead zone. As soon as I sat down, I was surrounded by smaller figures of the performers (Lesser Represenatives?). They were curious that I could see them and wanted to know what I was doing. I explained that I offer healing energy and that I was there to try and give it to the performers. They disappeared when the show started.
I was drawn immediately to one specific animatronic that happened to be close to me. It was one that I did not actually know its name at the time (later learned it was Ernest). I would not have assumed that I would be drawn to that one first since it wasn’t one of the more well known characters. But I stuck with it anyway since it was such a strong pull. His turn in the show hadn’t come at this point, but I could feel him behind the curtain.
Then something strange occurred. Right before his section of singing came, I felt a sensation to the left side of my face. It was fuzzy, distorted, and felt like something was hovering so close to me that I could feel its breath. The sensation was one I’d never personally felt before, but I recognized it as matching the feeling a friend had described as being how they can tell when a spirit wants to channel through.
Something was definitely trying to channel, however, the energy was not human nor a soul of any kind. The energy had animal ears akin to the animatronic I was trying to work on. It was then I realized the animatronic’s energy itself was somehow blending with my own.
Just as I was trying to puzzle out how an animatronic could do this, suddenly the energy jumped and started to meld with my face right as their section of the show started. I freaked out, trying to back away and quickly yelled for W to help. Shockingly, he did indeed appear (I did not expect him to) and he indicated not understanding what my problem was. I began to panic, and said something was trying to channel through me and I didn’t understand what it was. I feared I was in trouble. W stepped forward and peeled off the “skin” of the energetic animatronic from me and showed me that the inside was half mechanical and half fur suit. He them reminded me of a previous conversation he and I had had where I was told I needed to trust him in energy situations. I told him he was right and that I did trust him, but in order to trust him he has to tell me what’s going on or I won’t allowed things to just happen to my body.
W showed me a picture of the 8-bit scene with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. He then pointed at the suit that had just attempted to channel through me and said, “If you’re going to do this kind of work, you need to understand how these work. Don’t use reiki. Just put it on and let it happen.”
So I let him put the “skin” back on. The energy became a springlocks suit of Fredbear and I was inside of it. I could feel all the pieces snap into place, including the mouth plate in my own mouth. It’s important to note that all of this was happening in a matter of seconds, so by the time the suit was put on me and I had talked with W, the section of the show with the animatronic in question was still going.
Immediately, I began to sing and sway to the music (quietly) that Ernest was singing. The animatronic was following its show program, but it was also doing it through me at the same time (or I was doing it at the same time as it? Uncertain).
I ended up spending the entire rest of the show channeling the energy of that one specific animatronic. Even after its one section was over, I was singing along to certain sections, reacting with expressions to certain parts, or feelings emotions that Ernest supposedly was.
When the finale hit, the animatronic energy flew out of me, leaving behind the feeling and visual of the neck-down portion of the entire Fredbear suit still on me. I came back to myself in fright, completely confused over what the hell had just happened, as well as hugely drained over how much energy it had taken to do that.
W swooped forward with extreme enthusiasm and began to clap, cheer, and kiss my face over and over. He kept repeating, “You did it, you did it!” And was so excited that I could hardly believe it was him. I was bewildered and shook by both the experience and his reaction. I asked him what had just happened and he didn’t explain, just kept congratulating me and sending me an outpouring of feeling “proud”.
When the show was over, I started to fall over the moment I tried to stand. I limped and began to panic more, wondering if I had seriously screwed something up. When I eventually could stand normally, I managed to quickly text a friend to send me distance reiki. Thankfully they were able to.
In the meantime, W said I desperately needed water after that and suggested I sit down for a while and just breathe. I did that for about 15 min before I felt I was okay enough to stand again.

ok so me and a gf have been watching through my hero academia and like, wow, i thought it was forgettable when i watched it while doped up on pain meds in the hospital but now i hate it
heeeere's rambles
but theres one thing thats honestly really minor that keeps bothering me. every character follows anime level logic where if youre a character designated 'strong' you're arbitrarily quick, strong, and durable to suit whatever flashy bs youre doing in a fight. very typical anime stuff
but see, in most shonen settings, they either explicitly or implicitly say that their midichlorians also give a boost to them even outside of flashy techniques. Naruto has chakra, hxh has nen and is the best, bleach has reiki, dbz has ki, one piece has haki, and so on.
but in mha there is this continual emphasis that your Quirk is everything, that it is the thing from which all your anime powers derive, and in the typical vein of superpowers you only have that one Thing that you can do and you just need to stretch it around.
but we get shit like eraserhead clowning on those goons and remaining conscious through fifteen concussions, bakugou keeping up with midoriya in close combat when midoriya's whole thing is a big all-around boost, we get people with powers that have no justification for making them able to dodge gunfire or whatever. it rankles
its not even as though this is, like, necessarily a sin-- i mean, hollywood action flicks dont go out of their way to say that john wick has a whole lot of Cinema Juice in his blood or whatever.
the problem is the tone, because mha constantly tries to look like everything that's going on is through creative applications of powers, clever interactions with real-world physics like air pressure or whatever, and it does all this in a world very similar to our own. biological quirk drawbacks similarly signal that this show is trying to be neat and clever like if you woke up with superpowers tomorrow you could do this stuff too and it would work the same as it does here. yet it still has these egregious moments where Eraserhead is doing TAS combat gymnastics or bakugou is able to keep up with midoriya even though explosive propulsion really only gets you so far or random villains with shooty Quirks can take absurd beatings or keep up with bakugou and co themselves.
and this show loooves exposition, voiceovers, and flashbacks. we get them constantly and they ruin any emotional moment by not allowing you to sit with it and actually feel what's happening. instead youre just told everything thats going on. but that also means that this problem of anime action heroing would be the absolute easiest thing to fix in the whole entire world.
just fucking say that when you train your Quirk a lot you also start getting an all-around boost. then extend that into the reason why Quirkless people never show up to super fights-- they literally can't keep up when even Eyestalk Man can move twice as fast and hit twice as hard.
and in turn play this into the whole Quirkless discrimination thing we hear about but never see-- the narrative is that Quirkless people are vestigial! they're primitive, weak, stupid, barely even people, not like *us*. Look at how much crime they do, even when none of them take the leap into calling themselves villains! se have scientific studies that say definitively quirkless people are worse at everything!
those studies are of course grossly misrepresented-- any 'Quirk Boost' only really starts to kick in around the Pro Hero level of training and dedication. a Quirkless mma fighter could still absolutely whoop the ass of a quirked rando on the street. the difference in the lives of the vast majority of the population between Quirked and Quirkless is negligible. Like, this one little thing can improve three whole huge glaring bald spots in the canon! it's so simple! it makes everything better! how did you not do this!

to be clear also I'm not defending quacks, I am calling out ableism.
going to the reiki trained chiropractor lady I sent to for two years drastically reduced my chronic pain & helped with my CPTSD mood swings by doing minor postural adjustments and touching my face and head in specific spots. I went from constant wrenching back pain to being "graduated" from needing a chiropractor at all. did this help my MCAS or eliminate my depression? no. But I was not looking for medical salvation, just preventative healthcare and to learn how to manage my posture, energy & breath better. so I can function at all. I can now most of the time walk myself back from, for example, the EDS dislocations that come from sleeping funny or sitting wrong or falling down, by practicing what she taught me. I don't trap stress and trauma in my body as much when it happens, I can move energy through my body better by breathing and movement, I know better when my body is signalling to ask for help or stretch or shake, etc. Chiropracty (loosely tied back to practices such as bonesetting), yoga, tai chi, etc help w maintaining awareness and flexibility in your animal body.
So YEAH. don't ask the essential oils to treat cancer. Understand they may help quell your nausea or give you a minor immune system boost. Or maybe they don't. Human biochemistry is incredibly individual and complex.
the problem with quackery is acting like shit is magic, or one size fits all.
for example, acai is good, and has a lot of vitamins in it, yes. It's Orientalism exoticism that got it labelled a "magical" superfood.
L-Theanine and lions mane supplements along with remediating my iron, D3 and vitamin B12 deficiencies have made a difference in the amount of brain fog and fatigue I experience. They have not eliminated it.
If any supplement, practice or program claims to be a "cure" be wary of it - this is playing on the emotions of people with chronic health conditions.
Lots of stuff doesn't have a cure. But you can assist your body in managing it's symptoms with "alternative" medicine and see viable results.

t worked for Benjamin Franklin.
Not Lenormand Tarot. As far as I know Ben wasn't into Tarot.
I mean being self taught. Benjamin Franklin was a voracious self-directed learner. I can't recommend his autobiography highly enough. I may give it a quick re-re-re-read after writing this.
Mr. Franklin is proof that being self-taught isn't necessarily a bad thing. It isn't the right approach to everything. He was an apprentice, he learned from others - but I'm pretty sure he figured out the electricity thing on his own. When you are self-taught, you just might be the fresh eyes that see something brand new. It's as Terry Pratchett wrote in his book Equal Rites: "It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done."
The same holds true in Tarot. Many, if not all, aspects of intuition and magick cannot be fully taught and must be experienced for oneself, . I forget whether it was Mat Auryn or Marshall WSL who wrote about this being the essence of "mystery" or occult traditions. It's not so much that the information is secret as it is that the experience of it is entirely subjective and can only known to you as an individual. In the "mystery" traditions the teacher can give you theory and information. A teacher can take you right up to the threshold of experience, but only you can take that last step through the doorway to deep knowing. That step through the doorway can only be experienced first hand, thus remaining a mystery to those without that first hand experience. Initiation, it seems to me, is a matter of taking a solo step through the doorway and joining others on the other side who have taken their own solitary step before you.
That's what these "Learn With Me" posts do...I show you the path I took to get to this place. It's still down to you to decide if that path is right for you, if you want to take other steps, or whatever. Even when I read Tarot for you as an individual, the goal is to amplify your connection to energy, to amplify you intuition and help you to connect to your own message - not to be a substitute for any of that. But that's another story for another day. Back to Lenormand Tarot.
I'm largely self-taught, but a big piece of self-directed learning is selecting and finding the right teachers and classes. I've had classes in intuition development, aura reading, psychometry, and full training and certification in Reiki. I'm grateful and privileged to have met Ted Andrews at his."Animal Speak" workshop in Sewickley PA at the old Open Mind bookstore back in the 1990s, just before his Animal Wise Tarot was released. I've read reams of books and consider those authors to be teachers, too. But when it came to finding, curating, synthesizing, internalizing, applying, living all of that, it was up to me and me alone. The same is true of your learning path. If you aren't self taught at the very least you choose who else teaches you.In the middle of the biggest and best Ivy League university, you are still self-taught to some extent because it is entirely up to you what you do with that ocean of information. It is up to you which thresholds you actually step across. After stepping across some thresholds and crossing a fair few bridges too far, the "Learn With Me" posts on the Sage Sips blog are about how to find the doorway. Regardless of whether I'm translating spirit/energy into English for a private individual reading, peeking at the collective energy for the blog, teaching a specific oracle or teaching an intuition building process, the final steps are ones only you can take.Mistakes creep in both when you are self-taught and when you are tutored. Finding your own way through the forest makes you a little more vulnerable to making honest mistakes. It also empowers you because you don't know what is impossible, Terry Pratchett style. To my way of thinking, that easily balances the extra trial, error and experimentation a solitary self-learning path entails.
So - I could be wrong.
Over the years, with the information I've found, Lenormand Tarot has given the impression of being separate and distinct, an oracle tool unto itself. Lenormand Tarot is not the familiar format or symbolism we all know so well from other Tarot decks like the Visconti-Sforza from 1425, the Marseille deck from the 1500s or the ubiquitous Rider Waite Smith deck from 1909. Perhaps because it is older, ostensibly from the late 1700s to middle 1800s, the Lenormand Tarot stands apart from modern oracle cards, too, both in symbolism and emotional tone. Lenormand has never really captured my attention until recently. I was chatting with fellow reader and energy healer extraordinaire Pip Miller who reads both RWS and Lenormand Tarot. She described them as largely similar in concept, but the Lenormand had a more direct, succinct, no holds barred, smack-in-the-face sort of personality (as far as card decks have personality, but we'll put a pin in that for another day, too)Until that conversation, I had a vague (possibly unfair and inaccurate) impression of Lenormand Tarot and its community being a little bit stand-offish, guarded, perhaps a smidgen elitist. Lenormand always felt like a gated community while RWS style Tarot readers felt more like a fandom, like a contemporary, dynamic collective of individuals with a shared interest and varied skill sets. I had the impression that Lenormand deck was staid, quaint and archaic like some sort of wealthy widow in a mansion in a Nancy Drew mystery book.But, like I said, I could be wrong.Let's find out together.The Learn With Me: Lenormand Tarot series will post on Wednesdays. Next up: Weekend Update where we take a closer looks at this week's "growing energy" card from Monday's Energy Path reading for this week, the Five of Cups.Please subscribe to Sage Sips blog by entering your email in the box on the right side of the page (the the bottom of the page on mobile)

Oka: It’s time for Sketchy’s bath but I can’t find her anywhere
Reki: The last time you tried to give her a bath we couldn’t find her for two days!
Miya: Oh no…how horrible…
Reiki: Why are you acting so suspicious, Miya?
Cherry: Carla, scan for unusual heat signals on Miya
Carla: Small animal detected
Reki: Aha!
Miya: Fine! I hid her in my hoodie but you’ll never catch us slimes!
–
Joe: My restaurants gotten less customers lately and I have no idea why
Cherry: Maybe it’s because they didn’t want to see your dumb face
Joe: Hey! My face is a main attraction
Reki: If your so confident why don’t you hang up a sign of your face outside the restaurant
Joe: Great idea!
Reiki: Wait no I was joking-
Later:
Joe: The restaurant’s been doing great ever since I hung up that sign!
Reiki: I didn’t think it’d actually work..
Cherry: Must be just a coincidence
–
Reiki: Langa let’s go to the hot springs
Langa: Ok lets go!
Everyone else: Have you forgotten what happened the last time we went there?!
Langa, Reki: It could be different this time
Oka: Me and Sketchy are coming too!

There's More To Reiki Than You Think
Introduction:
Welcome, dear readers, to a captivating journey into the world of Reiki, an ancient healing practice that's been around since the 1880's, it transcends conventional boundaries. As a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and an Angel Reiki Master/Teacher, I teach Reiki to so many students, year on year, this year it seems to be particularly popular, it's for this reason that I'm excited to share with you the profound wisdom and versatile applications of this transformative energy therapy.
Understanding Reiki's Essence:
At its core, Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing modality that originated in Japan. The word "Reiki" can be translated as "universal life force energy" (rei meaning universal, and ki representing life force energy). This practice operates on the belief that life force energy flows through all living beings, and disruptions in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. Remember we're all energy, everything is energy, which includes your thoughts.
How Reiki Works:
The Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for the universal life force energy. During a Reiki session, the recipient remains fully clothed and lies comfortably on a massage table or sits in a chair. The practitioner places their hands gently on or above specific areas of the recipient's body, allowing the energy to flow through them and into the recipient.
Reiki energy intuitively travels to the areas where it is most needed, helping to clear blockages, restore balance, and stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and encourages holistic well-being. The experience is often described as soothing, warm, and peaceful.
Expanding the Horizons of Reiki:
Beyond the traditional Reiki session, this versatile healing practice extends its reach into various aspects of our lives. Let's explore some remarkable uses of Reiki beyond the boundaries of a typical session.
Healing Others:
Many of my students decide to learn Reiki because they want to give it to their children, especially if their children have neurodivergent conditions such as:
ASD, ADHD & ADD
Dyspraxia/Dyslexia/Dyscalculus
Tourette's Syndrome
Self-Healing and Self-Care:
Reiki empowers individuals to become active participants in their own healing journey. By learning and practising Reiki techniques, you can tap into its energy whenever you need it. Regular self-Reiki can alleviate stress, promote emotional well-being, and enhance self-awareness, it also improves sleep.
Enhancing Other Therapies:
Reiki beautifully complements other holistic therapies and conventional medical treatments. Its calming influence can enhance the effectiveness of therapies such as massage, acupuncture, counselling, and more. By incorporating Reiki into your existing practices, you can create a harmonious blend of modalities that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. I have students who use it within a reflexology session or after giving a tarot reading, or during a facial, I use it within my hypnotherapy & NLP sessions to boost the healing for the issue we have worked on. The NHS use it within hospitals to help cancer patients as do some hospices so they can relieve the suffering of those who are end of life.
Animal and Plant Healing:
Reiki's healing potential extends beyond human beings. Animals, whether domestic or wild, can benefit from the soothing and balancing effects of Reiki, many of my students train in Reiki to help their pets, I also have students who specialise in equestrian healing, work in animal shelters or sanctuaries etc. It can help alleviate anxiety, promote recovery from illness or injury, and strengthen the bond between humans and animals. Reiki can also be directed towards plants, supporting their growth and vitality which is perfect if you grow your own vegetables or herbs.
Cleansing Spaces and Objects:
Reiki energy can be channelled to clear stagnant or negative energy from physical spaces, such as homes or workplaces, if I am going to a client I will often send Reiki ahead of time to cleanse the space but I also use it for spaces where I hold workshops or events. By utilising specific Reiki symbols and intentions, practitioners can infuse spaces with positive energy, enhancing harmony and creating a serene environment. Additionally, Reiki can be used to cleanse and charge objects such as crystals, jewellery, and everyday items, imbuing them with healing vibrations., I even have students who've used it on their car battery!
Medication & Supplements:
I have students who make or sell beauty products or skincare products, they put Reiki in the product to boost it's effectiveness, there is a need to be careful here though, you would not want to make insulin more powerful for instance! Always check with a Dr or specialist if you plan to do this. Vitamins tend to be fine as the body eliminates whatever it doesn't need, however I'd still recommend you check with a health professional before boosting their properties.
Spiritual Work:
Messages From Beyond: Many Reiki practitioners discover that whilst in the altered state of giving Reiki, they become aware of messages from Heaven/Spirit whether that's from the Angels, family members of the Reiki recipient or the Spirit Guides of the Reiki practitioner, it isn't always appropriate to pass these messages on, however, being aware of Spirit & being able to develop spiritually is a reason why many people pursue a Reiki qualification.
There have been times when I've been shown information about my client's past lives, the journey of their soul & those events where healing needs to go so the person can heal in their life now.
Soul Retrieval: I've also used Reiki for the process known as 'Soul Retrieval' which is where a soul is unaware they've passed away and they need help to pass to Heaven or Spirit as I call it. I've also used Reiki to do house clearances where there is spirit activity that the resident is finding troublesome.
Grounding: One of the basic principles of all spiritual work is to be 'grounded' which means they are energetically tethered to the earth, but we often need to be grounded after something particularly exciting or shocking, hence why we use phrases such as 'coming back down to earth with a bump' or talk about people being grounded even though they're famous etc. Reiki can be used to ground you during and after a plane trip which helps alleviate the jetlag & helps you to feel connected to the earth energy again.
Distance Healing:
One of the most intriguing aspects of Reiki is its ability to transcend physical limitations. Through the practice of distance healing, Reiki energy can be sent across time and space to individuals, situations, or events that are not physically present. As always you will need the permission of the recipient either from them directly or their Higher Self. This method allows practitioners to extend their healing intentions and energies to those in need, regardless of location.
It's a great way to send positive energy to a job interview that's coming up or maybe a 1-2-1 with your boss! If you have to give a talk or a presentation, Reiki can be sent ahead so it goes well. Maybe you or a loved one have an operation scheduled, you can even send Reiki ahead to that event to help it go smoothly.
The Written Word: When writing letters, filling out official forms or journaling the Reiki symbols can be traced on the paperwork to create a positivity to the words. It can be placed under the stamp of a letter or written on the gift tag of a present.
Conclusion:
So dear seeker of healing and spiritual growth, Reiki is a mystical art that opens doors to transformative experiences and expanded applications. As you delve deeper into the practice of Reiki, its boundless potential unfolds before you. By embracing Reiki as a way of life, you can embark on a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and service to others.
As a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and Angel Reiki Master/Teacher, I encourage you to explore the vast realm of Reiki beyond the confines of a traditional session. Embrace the power of self-healing and self-care, allowing Reiki to be a guiding force in your daily life. Take time each day to connect with the universal life force energy, allowing it to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Remember that Reiki is not limited to individuals alone—it extends its gentle touch to the animal kingdom as well. Share the soothing energy of Reiki with your beloved pets, offering them comfort and support. Whether they are experiencing physical ailments or emotional imbalances, Reiki can contribute to their overall well-being.
Moreover, do not underestimate the ability of Reiki to cleanse spaces and objects. Invite Reiki into your living and working environments, clearing away stagnant energy and creating a harmonious atmosphere. By infusing positive intentions and energy into your surroundings, you can create a sacred space that nurtures your soul.
In the realm of energy healing, distance knows no bounds. With the practice of distance healing, you can extend the healing energy of Reiki to individuals, situations, or events across time and space. Through focused intention and the use of Reiki symbols, you can become an instrument of healing for those who are physically distant but energetically connected.
As you continue your journey with Reiki, consider exploring the infinite possibilities it presents. You may find yourself drawn to additional forms of Reiki, such as Quantum Reiki, Karuna Reiki or Tibetan Reiki, each offering its own unique qualities and healing vibrations. Embrace the knowledge that as a Reiki practitioner, you are forever a student, continuously learning and expanding your understanding of this profound healing art.
In conclusion, my dear reader, Reiki is a sacred gift that has the power to transform lives on multiple levels. Beyond the traditional session, it serves as a gateway to self-healing, a catalyst for enhanced well-being, and a tool for harmonizing the world around us. Embrace the gentle yet profound energy of Reiki, and let its healing light guide you on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, growth, and service to others.
May the universal life force energy of Reiki illuminate your path and empower you to embrace the wonders of the spiritual realm. Open your heart and mind to the boundless possibilities that await you as you embark on this sacred voyage of healing and transformation.

Auric Magic
Anton Channing talks about a personal aura and an earth aura, which I assume may extend to several other auras through space to the so-called 'ultimate reality'. In Buddhism there is discussion of the One Mind, each Mind is connected in whole or part to this One Mind. In Shingon Buddhism they believe the cosmos is the body of a gigantic Buddha, correlating to the theory that our human molecular structures are no different then the cosmos' solar systems except in size.
I think it's rather ridiculous to think of the universe as a big man but the concept of universal consciousness has always intrigued me. Or a better way to word it, the Universe has Consciousness. This is a way to view Reiki in a spiritual sense that relates to Channing's discussion on auric magic.
Reiki is often translated as 'Universal Life Energy'. This gives us a sense of consciousness as the origin story tells how a ball of white light shone down upon Sensei Usui on his 21st day of meditation, and thus Reiki as we know it was born.
Reiki is an energy healing based spiritual practice and a strong aura is essential to its praxis. To solely concentrate on healing seems a bit of a waste as you become a vampire of sorts, eating the life force of the universe (rather then humans). Thus vampirism and Reiki may be seen as opposing forces of auric magic at first sight, but they are quite similar, as Reiki seeks to heal Other and vampirism seeks to heal Self. All energy medicine is essentially auric induced magic.
Chaos Magic Theory recognizes the possible animation in all qualities and quantities; animism of an "off-white" perception. Atavisms and Death Postures are animist sigils of sordid and beautiful probability. The energies of seperation and balance create a unique taste of magical perceptions and conceptual animation of desire.

Reiki Healing Use As Preventative Health Measurec
Reiki is a healing technique that works by channeling energy into the body through the practitioner's hands. Although it is more commonly associated with emotional and mental healing rather than physical ailments, the common line of thought is that to be healthy on the outside, one must be healthy on the inside, and Reiki can heal emotional ailments.
Reiki is one of the most holistic therapies based on various points of the body. All of these holistic, energy-based treatments are based on the body's natural 'chakras' and energy fields, or auras, and are all based on ancient Asian theories. Reiki Healing Hands is a term used to describe people who have been attuned to the healing power of Reiki Healing and can channel this power through their hands.
Reiki Energy Massage By The Right Reiki Practitioner Gives You Health Benefits
How does Reiki Energy Massage work? The energy is directed at the body's points by lightly touching or passing the hands over a series of locations on the recipient's body. The energy flows through the practitioner and into the recipient's body through the points, but it is not generated by the practitioner and does not deplete the Reiki practitioner's energy supplies. Advanced practitioners can even administer treatment remotely, though this is a very advanced practice that new practitioners should avoid.
Reiki does not necessitate any special abilities or years of study to learn. Reiki treatments can be given to yourself, family and friends, animals, and plants. Reiki is even used on appliances by some people. Everything in the world uses some form of energy to function, so it stands to reason that a healing process that uses pure energy will heal or cure inefficiencies.
Reiki may be the gift of vitality and self-preservation encoded in all God's creatures' genetic makeup. The higher self's connection to universal power is what gives life to all living tissues. All living things are connected by the Universal Life Force, the non physical ubiquitous energy that provides life to nearly every living organism.

Sk8: The Infinity - A Take on Love
Because my six unfinished assignments can wait until I throw this into the void, scream for five hours and after my voice gets hoarse, I resort to watching the beach episode on loop until next Saturday.
This was entirely sparked by the recap episode, which really pressed the reak havoc and theorize button in my brain. I am truly losing my grip on reality. Help. I apologize in advance, creatures of Tumblr.
Me right now:
Anyways...
I saw people mention here and there screaming that “we need canon relationships and they will get trust issues if a romance isn’t confirmed by the end of the series”. I think that mindset is harmful to have in this case. You can’t really avoid being disappointed if you get into the series expecting it to deliver on your wishes of gay romances. So, this might be controversial, but stay with me please. The anime and manga are both confirmed to be based primarily about the characters themselves and of course the sport -skating. I was hoping to take a closer look at what the series intends to do with certain dynamics and relationships according to yours truly. I also want explain my reasoning behind it not being queerbaiting, though it being inherently queer-coded, through the current lense of the canon.
Sk8: The Infinity is unquestionably a love story.
We need to state the genres this series is in, because some of us tend to forget. It is in fact not a shounen-ai, not a yaoi, not a romance, not even a josei.
Say it with me it is a series in: COMEDY and SPORTS.
(Source is the official US Sk8 website.)
The spotlight is udoubtedly on skating and what it means. Another important highlight of the show is how the definition of the sport relates to the characters, and how vastly different they are from what we expect. For example, when we see Shadow first, we pigeonhole him into this vulgar indecent rock and roll persona, only to find out later that he is actually a stweetheart at a flower shop. Joe is another very good case study. When we first see him we think of him as a womanizer muscle-head, later we find out he has a heart of gold and is very emotionally intelligent. We’re also quick to judge Miya as the cold, unfeeling prodigy then we discover how lonely and normal he is on the inside. And so on and so on.
The show continues to defy our expectations of what each character should be like. In a way it is about breaking the conventional stereotypical roles we subconsciously assign to certain looks. We see that even in anime, multifaceted characters can exist without distrupting or damaging the delicate dynamics of a traditional sports anime. We successfully established the second focal point of the series as disproving stereotypes and presenting strong, diverse and unexpected personalities.
How about the defition of skating? What does it mean in the context of Sk8: The Infinity then? Where does a love story come into the picture? Skating is repeatedly described as a ritual of love within the anime, an idea that our villian, Ad*m, is obessed with. In a sense skating is a language of love canonically.
Then skating itself is love. Throughout the series we see varied styles of skating therefore different ways of expressing love, affection. We get to experience several metaphorical ways of “being in love” through characters skating with each other. Each dynamic shows us a type of love. Healthy, disfunctional, outright abusive.
The way Reiki teaches Langa to skate can be interpreted as a direct metaphor for someone learning to love again after losing a person close to them. Langa’s father has died and Reiki literally brings him out of his shell again. It can also be interpreted as a queer kid’s experience of a world of romance that feels similar to his previous one, that being snowboarding, yet it still being new and different. Skateboarding. When due to Reiki Langa’s potential is discovered and his hunger for more and more develops, especially next to Ad*m, Reiki’s main frustration stems from them not being well-matched or on equal footing anymore. He feels like he cannot give Langa what he needs anymore. Which would obviously go againts the literal description of a healthy romance. Two people with mutual respect who both bring equal assets to the table. He feels like he needs to catch-up to be with Langa again. The only thing he doesn’t consider is Langa’s deep appreciation of him and the fact that literally he was the one who helped Langa experince the feeling of love again.
Kojiro and Kaoru’s relationships, to me, is very much representative of two people wanting to be in each other’s presence, but due to their different language of love, miscommunicating horribly. Them bantering and insulting each other is the only way they know what to do with the other. The only way they can ensure the other’s attention and eyes are on them. This has worked so far. They are literal opposites, but both have a very clear definition of their form of love. To Joe skating, or love itself, is about the feeling and going with the flow. Being spontaneous. Whereas for Cherry, every move needs to be calculated and executed perfectly in order to be “efficient”. Their frustration comes from both wanting different things from the other, but not communicating their need properly. Despite this, they stick together due to a magnetic pull they obviously feel towards the other. The attraction is there, the trust is there, they are even well-matched in skill as we see them neck-to-neck constantly. They could give each other what the other wants. Only if they could express themselves well... This is why Joe pushes Reiki towards reconciling with Langa. he wants them to not fall into the same trap of not stating their needs and thoughts properly.
Now Ad*m and Langa are obviously problematic and I don’t really want to have to explain, honestly guys. I really don’t (since I have trauma regarding this subject), but I need to go into this a little bit. This is a textbook toxic predatory relationship. Where the older, twisted, damaged person, has an obsession with a young, outstading child. He wants to lead him into “Paradise” and show his “Eve” what love is really about. (Ain’t that disgusting you guys...) His form of love is inflicting pain, so I really can’t imagine a scenario where he and his “Eve” live happily ever after and everything is fine and dandy. He needs someone who he can torture. He literally is looking for someone who can handle his way of expressing affection, his “love hug”, who has the same type of crazy eyes for adrenaline and danger. His Eve. In his distorted mind, this all makes sense and Langa is that someone he was looking for thoughout the years. The problem is, he disregards Langa’s side where the relationship becomes problematic.
Cherry and Ad*m during their younger years seems to be a very innocent infatuation on Kaoru’s end. It is a one-sided relationship where someone is in love with the idea of a person long gone. They were discovering the world of skating, or the world of love together with Ad*m taking the lead. Cherry immediately became infatuated with him, wanted to learn his love language, wanted to be at the same level he was. It probably started very innocent. At first, Ad*m being gentle, because that’s how Tadashi was with him too, then after whatever happened between those two, Ad*m, disappointed in the way of love, or skating, Tadashi showed him, returned to what his aunts taught him. Maybe after injuring Kaoru with the “love hug”, therefore eliminating him from being his potential partner, started looking for his “Eve”, gradually became more agressive in love as in skating. Kaoru was distraught and wanted the Ad*m he originally learned love from back. Holding out some hope even years after. Trained to get used to his “love hug”, to literally condition himself to be able to get close to him. Ad*m, however showed Cherry brutally that he truly cannot handle his way of love.
Ad*m and Tadashi. *sighs* As of this post, I don’t really have enough information to give you a good overview of what I see this relationship representing. As far as I can tell Ad*m was abused horribly and to ease the pain and make him forget, Tadashi showed his another way of expressing affection. Skating or love. Basically a first love gone horrible bad, scarring an already abused child and turning them into a monster. Tadashi himself reinstates this during one of the episodes. It was his fault that Ad*m turned out the way he did. Their love slowly became strongly abusive throughout the years. Tadashi is stuck in it because he feels like he deserves it. This is a metaphor for dangers of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship, where one person feels responsible and the other is using power. Tadashi’s guilt keeps him next to his master and he even endures abuse, now he is trying to break out and show Ad*m he messed up and I think this could potentially be a good representation of how difficult that process truly is.
As far as Reiki’s, Miya’s, Shadow’s skating goes. Their main arc relating to love is first and foremost learning to accept themselves and aprecciating their uniqe way and style of skating. Only after can they become people who can truly be accomplished in love/skating (in Miya’s case I’m obviously talking about platonic feelings). Each of them had a preconception of their persona in love/skating, which gets questioned heavily throughout the series. Miya gets defeated, Shadow’s soft side gets discovered, Reiki... well. I get sad. :c Even though he taught someone to love again, to appreciate life again, he ended up discovering how dissatisfied he truly is with himself... These three all need to learn to love every aspect of themselves to reach fulfillment and to really experience healthy human relationships.
Sk8: The Infinity is unquestionably a love story, without explicitly being a romance, meaning that it is a tale about love, both romantic, platonic and everything inbetween through a queer-coded lens, showing both dysfunctional, abusive and healthy relationships, ways to express emotions and even delves into self-love and the idea of nature versus nurture in the villian’s case.
That is why I, personally don’t scream for a canon couple. To me, the show gets its main point about affection and love across, without making any of these relationships explicitly stated. Not to mention that it does justice to both of its assigned genres. Comedy and Sports as well. Yeah sure, I wouldn’t complain, but I think these dynamics are more than satisfying to watch, and much deeper than bishounens wanting to bang each other, which is, in my opinion, inherently sexualized. If they want, yeah they can confirm, make it canon without forcing it to be a center storyline. Hell, I would even be happy about it. I would clap with all of us. BUT, as the series currently is, I really see it taking the other route because of the above. This way audiences who want a yaoi or ikemen going at it, won’t be disappointed with the series when they find doesn’t revolve around that, straight viewers will just find it flamboyant, and people who look for subtext and want to read between the lines will certainly do that with the amount of crumbs and hints the writers gave us.
We don’t need outright, written in black and white gay representation in Sk8 to experience very real types of love. The queer theme is secondary to me, just like queerness is, in most people’s lives. Yeah sure, it is a big thing, but not the only attribute a person has. My life doesn’t revolve around my queerness. I rarely talk about it. If I was a main character this would be a side-arc. Just like Sk8 doesn’t revolve around the characters coming out. It’s just them living their lives and possibly being queer while doing so. If you look at it this way, it is almost normalizing attraction between same-sex people by just showing it as regular love. If you can, why not interpret it this way, so it can be a liberating experience instead of a disappointing one.
Please don’t attack me! I am fragile and this is only my opinion. c:

halloween pt.3
Small Halloween drabbles with Aizawa, Toshi, Hizashi, and Fatgum.
Hizashi’s is for a mature audience. I realized how horrible it would be to go shopping with him. He’s definitely the type to get distracted by everything that you have to keep pulling along to get your shopping done.
Aizawa Shouta - Halloween Fair
“Let’s go down there.” You pointed to the branching street.
Aizawa took a long swig of his beer before chiding, “We’re not going to waste money on any games.”
“Sho, come on. You said you wanted to come with me but you don’t want to try anything.”
“They’re rigged and the prizes aren’t even good.”
You grabbed his hand, stopping him in the middle of the flowing crowd. “If we’re not going to do anything, let’s just go home. We’ve already walked everywhere and petted all the animals, anyway.”
He stared at you. Eyebrows weighed low. Dark eyes reflected twinkling lights. Only he could manage an incredibly grumpy expression surrounded by cute mermaid and fairy costumes and glittering jack-o’-lanterns.
Heaving a long sigh, he glared at the stuffed animals in the distance. “Two games.”
“Each?”
“In total.”
You smiled wide and led him down the street. A wall of balloons caught your attention. Orange and black balloons laid out a pumpkin design with purple ones enclosing it. A fair amount had been popped. “I’ll play this.”
“It’s the easiest game here.”
“Which is why I’m choosing it,” you whispered so the worker didn’t hear. She handed you three darts. You quickly and rather easily popped three balloons.
“You can choose from those items,” the worker said, motioning to the right side.
The giant bat stuffed animal was the only real choice. Its wings fit around your shoulders and Velcroed together in the front. You wore it like a shawl.
Shouta just glowered at it. You squeezed his hand, smiling and requesting, “Can you try to have some fun? If not for you, for me?”
“I don’t see how any of these games can be fun. Most depend on dumb luck and the very few that require skill don’t offer good prizes. It’s how they take your money.”
“Try this one. There’s skill in it.” You walked to the apple bobbing game. “Looks like a new group is about to go. Join them.”
He kept his groan to himself. A buff man was talking with, or more like to his girlfriend, about using his skillful mouth to win. His gaudy machismo grated almost everyone around him.
“Dumb place to brag about that,” you muttered, noting the kids running by.
Shouta finished his beer, then agreed with a smirk, “Cherry stems are better at proving that anyway.” He tied his hair back and handed over his cellphone and wallet. “Hold these.”
He lined up at the basins right beside the big guy. The worker explained they couldn’t use their hands and the first to catch one in their mouth, won. The contestants crossed their arms behind their backs. A whistle blew and everyone’s head dipped into the water, splashing and soaking themselves.
But Sho waited, calmly watching the apples float and spin. He bowed for one. His nose and chin barely ducked under the surface to swiftly pop back up, holding an apple by the stem. The worker blew his whistle, congratulating him as the winner. A bag filled with colorful objects was thrust into his arms.
Lifting the bottom of his shirt, flashing his abs, Sho dried his face and returned to you. He handed over the prize: a bunch of 3D puzzle cubes and toy puzzle games.
Despite knowing he didn’t like PDA, you gave him a peck on the cheek. And you couldn’t help but smile overhearing the buff man accusing him of cheating. You’d rather deal with a grumbling and grumpy Shouta than someone who’s way too into it like that guy.
Yagi Toshinori - Haunted Hedge Maze
A blast of air rocketed out. You spun, hiding against Toshi. Despite his laugh, you felt his hand shaking on your back and his heartbeat quickening. “It was only an air cannon, sweetheart.”
You glimpsed out from the safety of his chest. No monster or man stood on the path. You muttered to yourself, “Okay, alright, I’m good.”
“Let’s go. The faster we walk, the faster we get out of this.”
“Yeah.” You stayed flush behind him, holding his hand, letting him lead. Beams shot into the night sky from all over, giving a little light. The dirt walkway was barely visible under the smog.
“Left or right?”
A yelp came somewhere from the right. His shoulders stiffened for a millisecond. You answered, “Definitely left.”
“Definitely.”
Something popped out from the hedge, growling and crackling and dripping liquid. You tucked into his shoulder blade as you walked past the monster. It glared then lurched forward. You pushed on Toshi’s back, “Go, go, go!”
The corner opened to a spacious area- definitely not the end. Little girls danced around in circles, all singing different nursery rhymes. Their white dresses splattered red with blood. When you took a step, they stopped, turned, and started.
“Just walk away,” you whispered.
He nodded, slowly shuffling to a new path. Right as he was about to step over the threshold, a ghost vaulted down from the hedge’s arch. The girls shrieked. You turned, seeing them rushing at you.
Toshi gripped your arm and pulled you to another pathway. A few other demons and doctors jumped out, scaring you each time. Your heart began to beat a little too fast, fearing you were lost.
But Toshi didn’t stop. He kept his hold and hurried forward, eventually rounding a corner that revealed the end. Relief smacked your chest. You could breathe and took the finish line’s safety to kiss him deeply.
Fingers dug into your forearm, shaking more than before. He asked when you broke the kiss, “Are you alright?”
“Are you?” you said, half breathless, half laughing.
“I’m okay.” He looked at the Haunted Mansion’s front doors. “Do you want to go in there next?”
You scarcely made it through the hedge maze, but if he truly wanted to go through the next part of the haunt, you would. You croaked, “Yeah.”
Blue eyes snapped to you. “Are you sure?”
“Are you?”
A group of teens walked out giggling. They complained about the ‘lack of horror’ and mentioned heading to a nearby restaurant.
Toshi cleared his throat, “I could go for some food.”
“Me too. Let’s go.” You scurried back to the car, more than ready to leave.
Yamada Hizashi - Costume Shopping
Nothing caught your eye in any of the rows and racks. Hizashi’s laughter came from another aisle. He popped out, holding a racy maid costume, chuckling, “You’d look so sexy in this. Try it on!”
“No.” You grabbed it and hung it back on the rack. “If I’m going as sexy anything, I’m going as sexy Present Mic.”
Arms embraced your waist. Lips kissed and nipped your neck. You sighed his name, trying not to get distracted like he’s been the entire damn day. “I’d rather not get it on in a witch shop.”
“It’s a metaphysical shop,” he corrected.
“Whatever. We’re just here for costumes. Have you found anything good?”
“No.”
“Well, we’re screwed then. We’ve checked everywhere else.”
“It’ll be fine.”
He continued his kissing while you searched the hanging outfits, hoping just one was good enough to wear, but it was all sexy nun, sexy clown, and sexy Pikachu. It wasn’t too much to ask for a decent costume. Or at least something that’s actually sexy, not a children's video game character.
Hands rubbed down your hips, clearly in want. You sighed, “Go try to find something.”
“Alright,” he sulked away. But he scurried back thirty seconds later, smiling as wide as he could, holding a green cylinder with spirals. “What about this?”
“What the hell is it?”
He read the sticker, “A six-inch, Reiki infused, jade dildo that increases love-”
“Hizashi.”
“- and nurturing, and stimulates and aids in emotional-”
“Hizashi.”
“- release. It also boosts fertility and balances bodily fluids.” His eyebrows bobbed up and down as he smirked at you.
“Hizashi, did you find a costume?”
“Oh no, I got distracted in the sex toy section.”
“You were gone for a few seconds. Costume shopping shouldn’t be this hard,” you grumbled, walking the rest of the aisle.
He followed, hugging you again, kissing your shoulder. “Don’t stress about it, baby. We’ll find something.”
“The party’s tonight and unless you’re going as a sex enthusiast, we don’t have anything to wear.”
His head snapped up. And you realized you shouldn’t have given him the idea because he ran back to the sexy maid dress. “I’m totally going as a sex enthusiast.”
You laughed, “You think you can fit your shoulders in that dress?”
“I’ll make it work. I’ll educate people on sex safety and give out free orgasms.”
“You’ll give me free orgasms. No one else gets you.” You kissed him.
“Oh, here!” He picked up something from the floor. It was a gray headband with mouse ears. “You can wear your gray dress and those fishnet stockings with the lace,” he hummed, pulling your waist against him. “And that cute, little pink bow you wear for me whenever I ask because you’re such a good-”
“Are you guys gonna, like, buy somethin’ or just keep makin’ out?” The worker blew a giant bubble with her gum.
“Sorry.” You took the items from Hizashi. “We’ll take these.”
Taishiro Toyomitsu - Making Candies and Cookies
Tai meticulously spaced out the globs into four rows, measuring their size and roundness till they were perfect. When it was filled, he took out another baking sheet.
“What do you need that for?”
“Oh, there’s more.” He tilted the bowl down. A huge amount of cookie dough still remained. “I quadrupled the recipe. Gonna make seventy-two!”
“Tai, we don’t need seventy-two cookies.”
“I do.”
“We already have two pies, fudge, brittle, and a truckload of whoopie pies. I think we have enough,” you laughed.
“Nah. I found a good recipe for peanut butter bark. Looks good.” He pulled a recipe from the top of the microwave, handing it to you as he finished pouring the cookie dough. “Get the stuff out, babe. We’re making that next.”
Pans and crumbs scattered over the counter. Foil and containers were running low. Silverware lumped in the sink. All the snacks and desserts were arranged on the table. As much as you enjoyed sweets, you weren’t confident in yourself to finish all of them.
“We’re going to be sick come Monday.”
“We’ll deal with it then.” He kissed your forehead on his way to the sink.
You gathered the ingredients. The chocolate chips melted quickly. As you poured it, Tai kept trying to smudge some on your arms or nab the candies before you could use them. You fended him off each time and sprinkled peanut butter cups, toffee, and candy over the melted chocolate.
The white chocolate was next. Right when you were about to drizzle it, a finger sunk into it, gathered a globule, and moved to smear it on your cheek. You grabbed his arm, laughing, “Tai, don’t.”
“You just need a little right there.”
He poked your nose. Between your giggling and his strength, you struggled to hold his arm away.
“Trust me, baby. I know what’s best for you. It’ll look pretty.”
“No-” Fingers tickled your side. You tried dodging it, but he followed, ultimately plastering your face with the chocolate. His mouth landed next, smooching and licking it up through your laughing.
You scooped some onto two fingers and smeared it over his forehead. It clung to his hair which rubbed off on yours as he continued tickling your sides. He wasn’t going to release you until you were nearly peeing your pants.
