α!Gagamaru Gin x Gn! β!Reader headcanon

Omegaverse is my guilty pleasure don't @ me.

Warnings: Gagamaru is a bit weird, Silly even(he's insane)

There is always that distinctive scent lingering on you, the smell that you try to explain but your vague ability stops you from pointing it out precisely. It must be strong if your nose can pick it out. So misty, cold, and incredibly familiar. No matter how many times you wash the school uniform and scrub your skin red, it comes back the next day, at what time you can never point it out, however, it's evident that it's from school.

Gin is all-natural through and through (except when it comes to his hair), and the perfumes often irritate his sensitive nose, same with sweet-smelling shampoos and body wash, he believes that they are artificial smells that stain people's true character, he has also found that those who use fake odors have many insecurities to hide, be it their second gender or their natural aroma is an unfavored one in society, it does not bother him, but he has never favored deceit. Gin believes that his smell is quite pleasant, probably influenced by all the time he and his family spent hiking when he was a pup. It reminds him of the scent of rain, petrichor was what the doctor called it when he presented. A compliment that his brain only remembered because of the correct adjective used to describe his recently discovered asset.

He remembers it all too well, the overwhelming mix of raw and false fragrances in his middle school class, packed in a classroom with no windows open. He couldn't help the scrunched nose showing on his face every day, trying to find clean air to breathe without the biological chemicals burning off his nose, for the first time in his life, Gin could clearly express his emotion all thanks to newly flowered instincts and his personal preference. It was a shame it had to be distaste. As a pup, he dreamed of having long limbs to hike with, cross the rivers, and climb on rocks without his father helping him, but if this is what it's like to be a grown-up, smelling all the smelly smells that smell bad or good, he would rather be a pup forever.

His keen hearing and eyesight are no match for his sense of smell, but now he could pick out his parent's residual odor on the school campus, hours after they've left.

Maybe it was his bias that made him favor Betas more than Omegas and Alphas, the natural and soft undertones in a society full of suffocating chemicals were liberating for Gin.

His nose was able to smell the uplifting aroma that you contained, weaker than ever hidden behind countless scents. It stayed like that between you and Gin, him enjoying your smell from the other side of the classroom while you took notes and never glanced in his direction, your nose is weaker than others, never truly being able to sense the intense pheromones swirling around.

His communication is not the best, however, he does not care enough to improve it anymore. Some view his nonchalant attitude and simple words as a negative trait. He wonders what you will think of it.

With a bag tossed over your shoulder, you stroll the chilly hallways, getting closer and closer to your destination. But just as you are about to grab ahold of the handle to open the door to the classroom, it harshly unlocks itself. An unexpected occurrence makes you softly jump on your feet before even noticing the figure standing on the other side, staring down at you with a curious tint in his round eyes, he casts a shadow on you.

``Oh I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone...`` He says.

``It's okay...`` There is not a lot to say about him, even if you are his classmate, you don't know much about him and are not planning on knowing. As you make room for him to pass, you can feel his shoulder press against yours before he finally frees the entrance and walks away from the class. It was a confusing experience, but nothing to note of.

Gin figures that his favorite activity is scenting, his mother and his father were the first people he tried to scent, and kept their scent on him as an eleven-year-old pup up til the last year of middle school.

He is aware that leaving his pheromones on your clothes isn't the best strategy, but neither is leaving his scent on your skin while knowing nothing of you. He hopes that maybe he can change that, perhaps you will recognize that the cold smell comes from him.

Gin is a person who listens to his instincts, it's a skill needed for his beloved hobbies, however lately as you come to school without his scent, the active feeling of annoyance is hard to miss, he wants nothing but to drag you into his bed and cover you with himself, until your nose smells nothing but him on you the whole week, til someone can't differentiate Gagmaru from you. Gin wants nothing but to become one with you in those mornings. It's a shame he can only touch a part of you "accidentally" for it.

He wonders if his scent ever comforts you.

Gin will always find a way to scent you no matter what, so you might as well stop trying to clean it and start seeking him out since he is the only one whose scent matches with the one clinging to you.

The nonchalant alpha has never taken any bait thrown his way, so when his classmates start looking judgemental of his actions, Gin never remembers their words, he has already answered them once and Gagamarus don't like repeating themselves.

Maybe that's how you got to the bottom of your situation, rumors and rude words about him flying through the school until they finally got mingled with your name. So that's all he had to do to make you approach him? Hmh.

You speak so calmly when he left no roundabout way for you and made you go straight to the point.

You ask him to stop scenting you?

He likes you, maybe even loves you.

You don't believe in love at sight?

That's okay, he'll make you believe it.

The next day he puts his plan to work and brings only the best snacks for you to enjoy during lunch. Try to be nice after all, it's his first time courting someone.

Hiatus Announcement

Hello, friends and readers! I’ve been putting off (and re-writing lol) this post for a while, but am forcing myself to finally say that I’ll be going on hiatus for the foreseeable future.

There are a lot of things which have led to this moment but mainly, I’m taking a step back to allow time for other ventures. That’s not to say I’ll be gone forever. As some of my long-time followers know, I’ve taken hiatuses before and they’ve varied in length. I still have ideas for fanfiction and hope to return in the future, fully refreshed.

After posting my writing to this page for nearly seven years, a break feels honestly long overdue. I don’t have a timeline for when I’ll be back; I just plan to take things day by day. My blog will remain up in the meantime. I don’t plan on deleting or archiving any of my writing. I also plan to check in occasionally, so feel free to send me your messages and/or tag me in things! I’ll do my best to reblog content, but if the queue runs out occasionally, please forgive me! lol

More than anything though, please continue to support other writers and artists on this app and on others. Do more than simply like a post! Reblog, leave enthusiastic ramblings, send kind messages and uplifting words. Fandom creation only works as a community effort and shared experience. There’s no incentive other than the joy of sharing, so let someone know if their work brings you happiness!

I hope everyone stays happy, healthy and safe in my absence. See you soon, and best of luck in everything that you do!

Update (9/28): okay, now I am really, truly on hiatus lol thank you for all the support in the meantime!

#personal

Hello friends, beings, and starlights! Im new to the tarot community here on Tumblr and would like to help guide, give honest/TRUTHFUL advice, and be a safe space for anyone+everyone who feels safe here! 🧚🏽‍♀️✨️

My goals/intentions are always to help others through my experience, to teach/guide them to work on themselves, and encourage them to find the strength, courage, discipline, and honest wisdom within themselves, without looking for outside validation!

** I AM NOT A MEDICAL OR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL; PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT AND DISCERNMENT TO DETERMINE IF YOU NEED OR WANT TO SEEK PROPER HELP OR TREATMENTS FOR YOURSELF OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR OR SOCIAL MEDIA!!

___________________________________________

The Reading of the Day is: Encouraging Words from Your Higher Self ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

There are 4 piles and you will be picking through angel #'s that are right below this text! Feel free to look at the specific photos for each pile if you feel called too!

PILE 1- 999/10's

PILE 2- 555/666

PILE 3- 333/222

PILE 4- 777/888

** sometimes ( most of the time ) i will pick up on multiple energies that need attention or want to be expressed during the reading so i ASK YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS DURING THESE TYPES OF READINGS:

depending on how the reader chooses to look at the situation or however the situation resonates for the reader and because this is a general reading;

⚠️you HAVE to be able to use your better discernment + better judgement skills to fully absorb the message and be able to do the necessary work to keep you on track for the future you WANT for yourself⚠️

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 1:

You're closing out cycles LEFT and RIGHT! Which is causing you to see, feel, think, etc SOOO much more differently and with expanded perspectives and more emotional depths than you ever had before. This is a good thing....yet its also bittersweet, sad, and happening SO FAST! Almost causing this faint sense of whiplash. This is good....this means you're growing and that may be scary-- BUT DONT GET STUBBORN AND STAY STAGNANT! LEAVE THAT COMFORT ZONE AND START TRULY LIVING, BREATHING, AND GETTING EXCITED ABOUT LIFE AGAIN!

the encouraging words from your higher self are: DON'T STOP, KEEP GOING! NO MATTER WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU , NO MATTER WHO LEAVES YOUR LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, DO NOT GIVE UP! YOU'RE NOT A QUITTER, YOU'RE A WARRIOR WITH A FIGHTING SPIRIT SO DONT GIVE IN AND DONT GIVE UP!!!

Find time for self reflection, self care, and self celebration to better hold on during this wild time in your life while you figure things out for yourself, balance out your priorities, and while you ALSO have some FUN!!

Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes, missteps, and anything that held you back in the past so you have a solid list of what to keep OUT of your life and what to DO differently in your life to keep feeling great and going after what you desire WITHOUT feeling held back by things or people!

Set aside time for paying attention to your body, mind, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ANYTHING you feel YOU NEED to be paying attention too, to feel better about yourself and your choices. DO NOT FORGET TO CELEBRATE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME AND HOW BRILLIANT YOU ARE AND TREAT YOURSELF TO PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS THAT UPLIFT YOUR SPIRIT AND ENERGY!!

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 2:

Right off the bat your higher self is STRAIGHT-FORWARD as he|| :

the encouraging words from your higher self are: IT'S OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP, CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE TO A MORE POSITIVE ONE, AND LET GO OF STUBBORN ENERGY FROM YOUR PAST!!

It seems you recently suffered a set back, either of the emotional or financial kind and its messing with your flow and your head....and your confidence in yourself.

And that's okay....the clear message here is to change the way you view your situation, have compassion for yourself, and make sure you're being aware of other people's struggles too! It's not just you going through a tough situation!!

You're not alone pile2, you can get yourself warm and optimistic again! But you will have to make a plan first! Whether this was a financial, emotional, or etc-- kind of setback, you have to move on from this situation soon so you are able to see the light again! Dont stay stuck because of stubbornness, greed, or lack of awareness!

You have the ability to see what will help you gain more abundance.....you just have to be honest and truthful with yourself about what behaviors, people, patterns, habits, situations, routines, etc NEED TO STAY or NEED TO GO!!

encouraging ADVICE from your higher self: FOCUS ON WHATS IN YOUR POWER TO FIX, FOCUS ON BUILDING AND CULTIVATING STABILITY FOR YOURSELF--BY YOURSELF, DONT LET YOUR PAST HOLD YOU BACK!!

OKAY PILE 3:

This is my pile of gentle giants, gentle hearts, gentle creatures.....just gentleness and kindness😭 ( im crying channeling & being in your energy because its so warm and inviting, thank you pile 3 for allowing me to be in this energy for a bit)

With all that being said pile 3, 😭😭😭 yall really need to protect your precious energy more. There might be things ( or people...👀 ) that are draining your energy and you dont even recognize it because you're so used to giving away your kindness and compassion to people, you dont even see or feel yourself being drained.

Its time to take a step back and give to yourself for a moment while also celebrating what YOU do bring to this world and how your lifes energy has the capability and capacity to heal others ( and it already has before🥺 ).

encouraging words from your higher self: YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL AND IT IS OKAY TO SET AND MAINTAIN BOUNDARIES WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHILE FOCUSING ON BUILDING UP YOUR PERSONAL POWER TO CULTIVATE THIS NEW SENSE OF PURPOSE AND NEW SENSE OF SELF THAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE OF YOU!!

Look i dont know you guys at all, and i KNOW the correct people will see this, but all i can say is : Y'all are abundant with opportunities, self-awareness, goodness, light energy, positivity, luck, personal drive, compassion, kindness, love, confidence, warmth, gentleness, passion, determination, strength, E T C --

so please sit with yourself and integrate these inner qualities/skills into your personal belief system(s) so you NEVER forget who you are and no one can EVER shake you to your core;

Really take a look and make a list of people, places, things, etc that dont match up with the future plans you have for yourself! Friends and Family INCLUDED!!!!

Your Personal Belief System(s) is a trusted source of stability, confidence, and safe space for yourself to go back to when you are feeling low about your life or self esteem because YOOOU made it that way...so make sure you cultivate it to be a gentle, nurturing, and uplifting so you can handle the negativity in your brain and in the outside world around you.

ok listen i don't have the braincells to write proper fic rn but I still need to get some of my servasha thoughts out of my system and this is my blog no one can stop me i will talk abt these women.

the fact that. both of their relationship with their field of science has been wildly tested by someone they genuinely cared for (cocolia, vache) and it's someone whose influence in their life they've not only come to terms with, but each had to find closure with as seen in their character stories.

like i don't think serval would've stayed on jarilo without finally freeing herself of her cocotrauma the same way natasha would've never truly practiced medicine to her fullest potential while she kept living under vaches shadow.

theyre both incredibly smart and self sufficient but they're also — people — two women that had to face that which at that point shattered their whole worldview and were given no choice but to keep going. natasha for the good of the underworld, and id argue serval for the good of her siblings AND the overworld.

music is a form of healing, after all.

not to mention they 1) have met even if werent given much interaction 2) with serval wishing to return to her work and natasha being in a position of power in the underworld the chances of them having to work together are relatively high to me.

i also think it's cute that they're both sisters. the second natasha and serval start dating, natasha is all over serval's siblings. geppie has to deal with two of them now.

anyway! my takeaway is that them having a relationship is not something they need to heal but it'd be a good, mutual respect and uplifting experience. serval doesn't need natasha to get over cocolia but she'd still enjoy feeling loved again. natasha doesn't need serval to know her worth but having someone reinforce it can to a long way.

theyre good! anyway come talk to me about them if you read this maybe i am absolutely starved

#servasha #honkai star rail #hsr #aster musings #pls i just have so many thoughts of them on my mind if only my brain wasnt so fogged

Several people have been kind enough to let me publish their thoughts on fandom, community, and queerness to celebrate Pride in the Library. Today's piece comes from @wolfpants.

Dear readers, dreamers, and purveyors of the glittering, gilded aisles of the Drarry Library,

Fandom life began for me at age fifteen. We just got our first family computer, taking pride of place in the utility room between the boiler and my dad’s boxes of tools. I had recently come out as bisexual to my friends at school, who, props to them, had all taken it quite well despite the small town we grew up in (I was very lucky, they were great - everyone else though? Not so much). Still, even with supportive friends offline, I never felt like I could talk to them about what I really enjoyed: watching Buffy, reading Harry Potter and looking for queer subtext (I could never have convinced any of them that Harry’s story screams gay allegory–no matter what JKR has to say on the topic back then or now), scouring bookshops and libraries for any sort of queer content I could get my hands on, desperate as I was to read something that spoke to me, to read about love outside of the heteronormative landscape of the popular media. I wasn’t just tired of boy-meets-girl; I had never identified with it in the first place.

The year we got dial-up internet was the year I discovered Livejournal. The absolute joy I felt, stumbling upon an LJ community specifically dedicated to roleplaying Harry Potter characters in queer pairings. Discovering, beyond that, that people wrote stories about Harry and my other favourite queer-coded character of the series: Draco Malfoy. And then it was Wolfstar (specifically Sirius), then Drarry again, and somewhere along the way my lurking fell off and I stopped reading fic for a while when I moved to London and settled into my first job, my first real relationship, and sitting uncomfortably atop my bisexual identity and not really knowing where that shift happened and why. All the while, I was pursuing a writing career on the more journalistic side: writing for music and film outlets, doing a little bit of secret creative writing on the side, dipping in and out of HP RPGs but never really—connecting. In “real life”, my relationship with my ex was falling apart, and I felt very disconnected from the LGBTQIA+ community because, even though I knew I belonged, I never felt like I could be truly me with anyone—perhaps because I was, unknowingly, still discovering who I really was.

When the pandemic happened, it gave me the breathing space I needed to get to that point. It brought me back to fandom.

It started with reading The Popular Wolfstar Fic Everyone Was Reading, and reopening my ao3 account to re-read some old favourites from over the years. It then unrolled to, hey, I have some free time, why don’t I try writing my own Wolfstar fic for my oldest, dearest friend (who I met RPing on LJ at 15!), which then turned into: you should publish this, and see what happens.

So, I did. And I made a tumblr account, and I lurked for a while, shyly reblogging things and scrolling through author accounts I’d admired from a very young age, astonished and really fucking impressed that they were still in the game. I read their new fics, I was drawn back into Drarry, and from there I discovered what a wonderful community this is, not only for its immensely talented creatives, but for its values as a inclusive, equitable, supportive, uplifting, and joyful group of individuals who genuinely welcome everyone with open arms and love. That, in itself, has made it easy to reach out to like-minded folks here, to make life-long friends, to chat to people who have been through similar experiences in questioning their identities (it is truly thanks to this fandom and the many discussions I’ve had with people here that I’ve been able to realise my identity as a NB lesbian). To write! To share! To not be ashamed of my kinks and to discover fun, delicious rare pairs! To look at breathtaking art and read some of the best goddamn writing I’ve ever set eyes on!

I have spent thirty-seven years on this planet. A good chunk of that time has been spent questioning many parts, pieces, and niggly jiggly bits of my identity. Who am I? What am I? Is there anyone out there who is just like me?

After many years of searching in the dark, of asking these questions over and over, I can joyously say that the answer is: yes. And oh, how thankful I am for that, for all of you, because fandom has really been the community I can categorically point to and say: they did that for me, we did that for we, and I will do anything for you.

Happy pride.

Thank you, Wolf, for joining me in the Library. Your love and joy for fandom have left me feeling quite tender-hearted, in the best way. It's so so good to ask the question "Is there anyone out there who is just like me?" and find over and over that the answer chorusing back is "yes." Thank you for adding your yes to our chorus, and joining me for Pride in the Library.

If you want more @wolfpants be sure to check out their work on AO3! I can't help but recommend the fic that made me fall in love with her writing in the first place, Pages of You, which I've featured previously for Happy Hour. It's got Drarry and Wolfstar, and is one of my favorite comfort rereads.

🏳️‍🌈 Lots of Love and Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

#pride 2023 #pride in the library #pride in the library 2023 #lots of love and happy pride #friends of the library #fandom community #wolfpants

Arcades were becoming less and less frequent. Hearing such businesses shut down had become commonplace, almost like a repeat of the videostore extinction. Still, one place in town kept itself busy, doubling itself on minigolf and a bowling alley. That wasn't the reason why people went. This particular entertainment centre advertised androids as their greeters and guides. Each android had their own story, often shared amongst the human employees rather than the customers.

You could be one of the lucky few.

A Bing unit offered to be your guide throughout the activities. As stated on the website, Microsoft gifted a good handful of its creations to this establishment - must have something to do with their latest VR experience, which was also installed and advertised. That was it for surface knowledge, not that you initially planned on diving deeper.

The slightest hint of a snicker tainted the air as you missed yet another swing. Snapping your head at your artificial guide, you couldn't help but notice the silliest, goddamn goofiest grin wiped across his face. At least someone was having fun. Bing leaned on his club, careful not to break it under his own weight. “Between you and me, I ain't good at this either.” Unaware of any sort of rules, without swapping your ball out for his, he decided to take a swing. The ball never left the tee. But, oh something did fly.

“Whoops.” Did Bing throw his club on purpose? It completely slipped his grip, and there it was, lying on the astroturf. For an attempt to cheer you up, it was a little patronising. Still, he tried. You were smiling, weren't you? There wasn't a clear winner by the end, not that the competition mattered.

Bing continued guiding you through activities, cheering you on. Though, after a genuinely disheartening loss, he removed his shades and placed them on you instead. “Keep em! I have more.” Such an uplifting attitude, from someone who arguably wasn't real by human standards. Seeing the black sclera and orange irises in his mechanical eyes, it further pushed his nonhuman existence. Despite that, his grins were contagious, as was his laughter.

The two of you sat down, eventually. It was the perfect moment to ask questions. “Were you programmed this way?”

“What way?” He threw the question back at you.

“You know, all human-like! You're so... expressive?”

The Bing unit could only laugh, as he has been all day. “We call it "breaking the stereotype." But, yeah kinda. It's more like I was programmed to adapt socially.”

Moments passed, an employee walking over with the food you ordered, and a little bit extra. A hotdog? You never asked for that. Before you could open your mouth to question them, the android at your side eagerly snatched at the food. Right after a quick, "Thanks!" you watched as he began chowing down.

“You eat?!”

“Yeah, don't you?”

That was... a valid respond. The two of you shared lunch together, then your goodbyes. Well, you surely learnt more about him, nothing truly groundbreaking, but it was a start. You got some free shades out of it too.

Rewriting The Scarecrow 2000

While I liked the movie enough I still felt it could've done more to be truly memorable. I take elements from the original Nathaniel Hawthorne story.

Act 1: Every Tale Has Its Origins

Mother Rigby lives near the town of Grisham Heights. Like the movie, she used to associated with Lord Hugo Grisham, except instead of just being his dance teacher, Grisham was also her witch apprentice. He stole a couple of her most powerful spells & banished her to the outskirts on threat of being burned at the stake. Mother Rigby changed her name to Miss Bee Bee and works a living selling herbs and being a seamstress.

Lord Hugo Grisham III - I gave him that name because he looks like Hugo Weaving - stays the same as in canon. Except his voice is a little less eccentric and more elegant. He also has explicit interest in magic, using it to keep the town isolated. He even created a gorge. The only way to leave is by across a wooden bridge.

Polly didn't really have any flaws, unlike her counterpart from the short story, so let's try to give her some more depth. Let's say she's shallow about appearances? Like she expects the orphans under her care to have REAL dreams, not something frivolous like owning a puppy. She doesn't trust young men very easily due to experiences with Hugo. She doesn't have time for whimsy. Her arc is learning to accept people beyond looks and to enjoy life.

Polly's only real friend is the Scarecrow that resides on the patch of land where she buries her money. While Polly herself thinks its weird, she kinda enjoys talking to the Scarecrow. He's inanimate so it's not like he understands her anyways.

But he does.

One day one of Grisham's lackeys discover Polly burying her money. That might after she leaves, they dog up the cash but feathertop chases them away. Unfortunately he wasn't able to take back the money.

Out of pity, and wanting him to explore humanity, Miss Bee Bee gives him a feather that enables him to change into a real boy. As long as he's wearing the feather he should be safe. She warns him to avoid mirrors. Helping him are Max the talking mouse and the faithful broomstick Bristle.

Second Act: I'm Only Human

Feathertop disguises himself as a man named Nathaniel Rigby and sets up a cover as a vegetables salesman. One day he decides to dance for the townsfolk to uplift their spirits. Confused over the commotion Polly and sees him dance. At first she thinks it's odd but he then pulls her into a dance. To her surprise she finds herself actually liking it.

After the performance Lord Grisham's attendee Mr. Wooden announces that his boss is hosting a ball in two weeks. There's also a contest for a couples only dance. The reward money is enough to pay for Polly's transport. Nathan offers to be her partner, but Polly admits she can't dance. Nathan offers to teach her for free.

The two weeks gives Polly and the Scarecrow more time to get to know each other. Gradually Polly becomes better at dancing. Nathan also interacts with her family and comes to enjoy being human.

One the final night by the docks, she admits to Nathan that she is anxious over her future and wants what's best for herself and her siblings. Nathan tells her she should allow herself to have fun and Grisham shouldn't take that away from her. Polly admits she thought Nathan to be weird but he's actually a very nice guy. They're about to kiss when Grisham interrupts then intending to woo Polly to be his date fir the dance. Polly says she's already chosen Nathan, causing the jealous man to storm off in a huff.

On the morning of the ball, Max and Bristles gifts Nathan a set of outfits for him and Polly to wear at the dance. I don't like Polly's canon dress so instead she wears something more pastel and light. Nathan wears something just as fancy but in similar colors as his regular outfit.

Now for Polly and Nathan's dance let's change the music to something more fitting for the period.

They win and that night Nathan offers to help Polly get her out of her dilemma. He's moving out of town anyways and says he can take her to her destination. Polly agrees and they decide to leave the next.

Third Act Breakup

Grisham learns that Nathan is really Feathertop. Grisham deduces that this must be thr work of Mother Rigby & she hasn't left town like he wanted her to. He uses the stolen magic from her to track down Nathan and grabs his feather. Bristles tries to intervene but Grisham snaps it in half. The loss of the feather causes Max to start losing his ability. Feathertop urges Max to find Polly. Through sheer strength of will Feathertop frees himself and takes the broken Bristles to safety.

At the church Polly is waiting when "Nathan" arrives. She doesn't know he is Grisham in disguise but notices he is acting weirder than usual. The fake "Nathan" begins his vows which are long and self gratifying. Enough for the real feathertop to make it. Max sneaks into the church and just as the Fake Nathan is finished Max taps on his shoe. "Nathan" starts screaming, causing an uproar. Just then the real Nathan arrives. Everyone stands there stunned at seeing two nathans

Feathertop claims he is the real Nathan but Fake Nathan tries to play it off as a lie. Feathertop tells Polly that he knows she buried money on his land, and even begins copying dance moved only real nathan would know. Overjoyed Polly hugs him. Humiliated Grisham throws a fit in & the process he tears off the feather revealing the deception. Cheswick comes with a mirror exposing Feathertop's reflection. Seeing this Polly faints. The real Nathan admits he is a scarecrow. In the uproar Grisham runs back to his lair, not bothering to check on Polly. As a last act of love Feathertop takes Polly back to her house and bids goodbye to the children.

When Polly wakes up and asks where the real Nathan is. Her siblings tell her that he left. Polly says she cant be in love with a scarecrow of all things. Her siblings retort that she cant reject Feathertop after all the good he's done, and that shes acting as shallow as Grisham. Realizing this a tearful Polly goes to apologize. But just as she's about to head out, Grisham's thugs storm into the house and take her and the kids away to his mansion.

Grisham tells her one last time to agree to marriage but she says she rather die. Grisham locks her and the kids up and intends to use a spell much more powerful to brainwash her permanently. This is told through his villain song which he didn't have in the movie.

Realizing Grisham is going too far, Wooden has a change of heart and helps Polly out by unlocking the door. He tells them to run, Polly gets the kids our first but just

Back at Mother Rigby she comes back to find her field a mess and a despondent Feathertop. He tells about what happened. He devides to go back to being a scarecrow but just as she does, the orphan kids arrive to tell Feathertop Lord Grisham has Polly hostage and plans to do something really, really bad with her. Feathertop puts his wish on hold to save her. Together the kids help rebuild Bristle. With his self worth restored Feathertop fly off with Max in tow.

Final Battle:

Mother rigby takes the kids back to town and manages to convince everyone to stand up to Grisham & his cronies. A battle ensues.

Lord Grisham has Polly placed in his carriage intending to whisk her away for their permanent honeymoon. The only way across is the gorge. Feathertop sees the carriage and distracts the horses. A short fight between man and monster begins, Grisham hurling magical spells left and right in hopes to knock Feathertop of his broom. In the foray Polly kicks the door open and climbs on top of the carriage. Grisham goes after her, both wavering back and forth. Feathertop flies low enough for polly to jump on. He begs her to take his hand. Despite being afraid she makes the jump and successfully lands on Bristles. But Grisham gets his own success when his spell manages to hit from behind Bristles causing the occupants to land on the bridge.

Grisham taunts them for a moment but Feathertop baits him into following him at the bottom. Poly refuses to leave him but Feathertop tells her don't worry. Bristles takes her to safety. Grisham fires more spells that Feathertop evaded but it hits spots in the bridge causing it to break. Overcome with rage Grisham throws a tantrum and starts firing spells everywhere. The resulting onslaught breaks the bridge completely. Grisham and Feathertop falls.

Once the smoke clears Polly, Max and Bristles fly to the bottom and see Grisham dead and Feathertop in pieces. Polly begins to cry but her tears revive Feathertop. He hugs hr than says that they cant be together. Polly says she doesn't care if he's a scarecrow he's always a real man in her eyes. Max discovers the feather and gives it to Feathertop. He puts it back on himself and changes human but decides he is better off as a scarecrow anyways.

Reunited with their friends, Mother Rigby recovers her spells and uses an earth spell to close the gorge, allowing the town back to society. Grisham's cronies are run out of town along with Cheswick. Polly'§ sister adopts Cheswick's dog and her brothers become the new owners of Nathan's vegetable stand. The magistrate renames the town Hayville in honor of their hero (swingtown doesn't fit the colonial era). Wooden becomes the owner of the factory, using the money to build schools and libraries & better wages. As for Polly, she and Nathan propose to each other and the town celebrates.

That's the end of my rewrite. It's long I know, but I wanted to stretch this out to its full potential.

Hey girl. I’m a 21 year old cis woman, so roughly the same age as you. This could be a long one so I apologize in advance. I hope this doesn’t come across as patronizing or rude, I come from a place of kindness. I, like you, have chosen to be a feminist and uplift women and women’s voices and lives. But it seems you’ve chosen a path that differs from my own, and I don’t think you realize how you, yourself, are upholding the patriarchy. It’s true that gender identity is a social construct, and modern day gender identities rely on the patriarchy to exist. But they are also deeply rooted in colonialism. Gender and sex have been different for a very very long time, and many cultures before colonization embraced many different sex and gender identities free from modern day patriarchal concepts. What you’ve been told about sex and gender are rooted in patriarchal understandings of sex. The modern day understanding of sex NEEDS the patriarchy, to exist. Sex is a spectrum, the two ends being male and female. The patriarchy wants just male and female, so one can be superior to the other based on ancient (and white) societal concepts. With a wider range of sex identities, less men exist, and it becomes harder to be superior. I encourage you to take a look at how other cultures viewed women, and people of other genders, before colonization. It wasn’t all “women are lesser to men,” that’s just what most people learn because that’s what upholds the patriarchy. As a woman, I understand your fear of men invading our spaces to hurt us. But trans women are not going to do that, the process of transitioning is long and complicated and I encourage you to learn more about it. By putting down transgender people you are ultimately siding with the very men who do want to hurt you, and they want to hurt transgender people too. The people restricting abortion rights, divorce rights, all womens rights, are the same people restricting trans rights. Have you never stopped to think why that is? It’s because they go against the patriarchy, the societal norm. You and I will never be free while we put down other minority groups. We must focus on the true goal of eliminating the patriarchy and this war against trans people is a distraction. I promise you, if a man wanted to invade the spaces of women, they would not go through years of hormone replacement, put on women’s clothing, grow out their hair, and act/talk feminine to do so. You and I both know they just have to walk in. I implore you, talk to some trans people there are many on this platform. Interact with biologists to learn about human sex and gender and how they work, both are so interesting and complex it’s a real shame we learn none of it. I hope one day things get better for both of us.

I respect your effort, but you underestimate the amount of research I‘ve done and experience I‘ve gained. I‘m familiar with transgenderism and trans rights activism as I used to be part of the movement.

Gender critical feminists don‘t side with (conservative) men. Whilst it might superficially seem that way (critical of trans ideology), these men want to stick to traditional gender roles & stereotypes whereas we want to abolish it altogether.

Sex is not a spectrum. Sex is dichotomous. You‘re either biologically male or female. Intersex people are often used as "evidence" for the claim that sex isn‘t binary, but what your community likes to leave out is that intersex people are still either male or female (intersex male & intersex female). Disorders of sexual development and sexual dimorphism are not the same as transgenderism, which is entirely based on gender (a patriarchal construct).

There are already examples of transitioned men who use their gender identity to enter women‘s spaces, including prisons, and men who transition during their prison sentences.

Regardless, self-ID laws are dangerous and whether a man is truly dysphoric or not doesn’t justify putting women at risk, especially since 'transwomen' are statistically just as prone to male pattern violence as men who aren‘t trans.

Dysphoria is a psychological condition and should be treated accordingly. That doesn’t mean anyone has to stick to traditional gender roles — just be yourself and do what you want, wear dresses, use makeup etc. — or don’t — but don’t call yourself a woman when you‘re male & don‘t invade women‘s spaces when you‘re male.

Masterlist

Keiko had no idea who or what her family really was. Her whole life she'd been locked away- private schooling, hand picked friends, odd interactions... all of it that made the poor girl wonder what was wrong. So much so that everyone in her life treat her with the utmost delicacy. Her parents only gave a simple answers when she asked if they saw what she could. It was never talked about again.

For so long her answers came from sneaking out of her room to listen to grown-up conversations. She'd heard voices, some recognizable, some not, talking about sorcerers, curses, and a prophecy.

The oddest part about the treatment sent her way, was that it all changed two weeks ago on her eighteenth birthday. They'd pulled her aside after her celebration to tell her "You've gotten older our dear, we want you to be able to experience as much as you'd like. Feel free to do as you please and don't worry about us." It was so strange; strange with how they almost seemed melancholy about it. But in all her excitement about the news, Keiko forgot to truly pay attention to the interaction. A regret of hers in hindsight.

The sun was already set, Keiko was sitting at her desk where she just finished up her final homework for the term. She felt an involuntary yawn come over her as she pulled her legs to her chest, heels digging into the edge of her seat. Spinning her chair slightly with her hand against the desk, her headed her head on her knees where she glanced at her bed. On it resting was her black cat, Jelly, laid curled up sleeping. She smiled.

Suddenly an impatient KNOCK sounded at Keiko's door immediately followed by it opening, with no permission to enter came in a young girl staring down at her phone.

"Keiks, we need to plan a trip or something for break or else I'm going to die of boredom." Aki said just barging in and heading straight for the bed.

Sato Aki was Keiko's best friend, practical sister in lame terms. She wasn't someone her parents would have picked for her to spend her time with, but fortunately it was her dad's best friends daughter- he couldn't say no. In every way the two girls complimented each other, their strengths and weakness helped to uplift the other to be their very best. Aki wasn't scared of anything it seemed; she was patient, a little wild, and always pushed Keiko out of her shell. Much different to Keiko who was raised to question everything and be scared. If it hadn't been for the bright girl becoming her best friend five years ago, Keiko probably would have struggled to form sentences or make eye contact.

Aki had the prettiest green eyes, light brown hair to her shoulders that was always wavy. She could always brighten up someone's mood if they were down with her jokes or simply helping them out; whatever they needed.

"Of course, where ya thinking?" it wasn't unusual for her to do this, it actually made Keiko happy that she did.

"Well with your new found freedom we really need to take advantage of it... hmm what about Kyoto?" Aki took a seat on Keiko's bed across from where she sat at her desk, making sure not to wake Jelly or else he'd be in a mood.

"I don't see why not. I'll look into hotels."

"Awesome." Aki smiled, "my grandma was telling me some stuff we could do, said she may want to come with just to see friends. Could help convince our parents."

"That would definitely be ideal. I've also never been so if she can show us around a little?"

"She would love that oh my god." Aki always forgot that Keiko was never allowed to leave Tokyo proximity- which she found insane for the longest time. Keiko needed more experience with the world it wasn't her fault she'd been too sheltered.

"Let her know so then I'll tell my parents. Pretty crazy to know they'll actually say yes too. I feel so much lighter these days. In a way," Keiko laughed. Just knowing she could leave her house without asking did wonders for her mental health already. Was this what other kids experienced? Because it was lovely.

Aki shot her a smile before taking a deep breath and going on to completely change the topic of conversation,

"So I've been doing some snooping for awhile, wanted to wait to actually have something before telling you about it... which might I add was a hassle not telling you I've been itching too,"

Keiko cocked her head to the side with confusion, "and?"

"Well, there's this school called Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College... a mouthful to say I know, that's got some odd dealings. I don't think it's a normal school actually."

"So?"

"Remember that one time I went through your dads office-"

"- Oh you bet I do," Keiko grumbled, "thought I was going to get killed."

"Still surprised we didn't get caught... but! That's asides the point," Aki proclaimed excitedly, "this school has to do with those sorcerers you talked about overhearing once. Every time something weird happens in the city they're there."

"What do you mean by weird?" at first Keiko thought this was just another one of Aki's

"That night all those explosions happened by my apartment, sightings of these weird humanoid things marching about... remember that?" Keiko nodded and her friend continued, "reports about it were on your dads desk. Sort of like I was meant to see it in a way.. and well, your dads signatures were all over the thing like it needed approval from him."

Keiko frowned, "like he's some important person?"

"I think we can conclude that from where you live," Aki laughed, "you've always wondered where your family money came from! Maybe this is it."

She gulped feeling slight hesitancy as it was something she liked not to think about, "I- uh, never told you this but.. years ago I asked my parents if they could see what I can and they nodded a 'yes'." Aki's eyes bulged at what she heard as it was all new, "but basically were like never bring it up again."

"Oh shit.. and this whole time I thought you were crazy... just kidding." she laughed as Keiko shot her a look.

"I mean I guess there's times I still think that I am."

Aki shrugged, "don't think like that. There's actual crazy people out there, like murderers and all. You just uh.. see things."

"And they're scary too.. like they can't be cute?" Keiko asked in a joking tone, "like spiders had to be made scary."

"Practically I guess. If one of those things were latched onto me like... you'd tell me right?"

"Oh of course. Well— I'd text you I wouldn't go near you." she laughed.

"Some friend you are. But Keiko think about it, besides a small trip what else are we going to do for break?"

"Um, I don't know? Go somewhere else?"

"No no, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Aki said with a devilish grin.

"Huh?" Keiko cocked her head in a confused manner,

"Seriously? Ugh..." her friend sighed, "we need to investigate this school! Your parents!"

Keiko's mouth formed an 'O' as she understood now, "I mean, I don't see why not.."

"We have to use your new found freedom somehow! Our first big adventure Keiks."

"And perfect timing too, tomorrow's the last day before break." Keiko grinned feeling excitement rise in her chest.

"That's the spirit!"

The two girls went on to attempt to plan the start of their investigation. It was all silly, them thinking they could play detective to solve their life issues. It was all in fun but they didn't know how real it would get. Keiko thought she had it bad now, she was wrong. A small part of her brain told her that going around asking questions she may not want the answer to was a bad idea, a tiny gut feeling perhaps. But Keiko really wanted to see if the two of them could find out even the tiniest shred of information to help her.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow.. we'll go get food, talk to my grandma and have an awesome break." Aki's smile could just melt every worry Keiko had, she was so reassuring, keeping her up and out or else she'd stay in bed all day.

"Sounds good. Love you bye," Keiko called after her friend who was already halfway out the door already on to the next thing. As fast as she was there she was gone.

Keiko watched with small dismay as Aki left her room knowing she'd be alone now. She sighed, spinning around in her chair as once again her thoughts dove into her life. Keiko lived in a mansion, yet she had no idea where her family got money. There were even parts of the estate she wasn't allowed to venture into. The gardens in the back where she knew was an old, abandoned temple was the main area. She always wondered if living and growing up on these grounds is why she can see ghosts or feel energies from others, and rooms. It was painful to worry about every place or person she met. Scary to walk out her door to go about her daily routine and wonder if she'll see another monster that day. She hated losing sleep or even her sanity over her little gift...

Sometimes Keiko felt like she was dreaming all day everyday. There were times in her life that she had to pretend she was elsewhere, someone else so she could escape her current life. All by herself she had to deal with the emotional toll of seeing ghosts/monsters that took on someone and thinking she was nuts. Sometimes she'd be in class and the hairs on her body was stand straight up as a powerful wave of remembrance of fear would hit her making her dread.

At the age of eighteen she felt on fire. Lost in her own world so she didn't have to deal with her reality. Anywhere she went she was terrified she'd see one or feel death, she was terrified to be alone as it seemed to get worse by each passing week. Her perfect world would be where she didn't feel haunted by ghosts; by the shame, sadness, anger of others.

That night Keiko dreamed that she was in the vast garden behind her home, slowly creeping down the paths she was forbidden from. Her form was elegant in a milk white dress with no shoes but the ground with rocks didn't hurt. From above the light of the moon shone a perfect path for her to follow, little lightning bugs fluttered around, and the flowers swayed in the wind. It was ethereal, she felt like she'd been walking on air as she began to hurry to her destination.

Suddenly she dreamed she was inside the abandoned temped with overgrown vines and weeds sprouting from the ground. A spiral staircase was in the center and her body instinctively moved to it and then down. Once she was down, down what seemed miles below the entrance... it was surprisingly light, a large pedestal in the center of the room.

Like she watched from first person view, her dream took her to the pedestal. On it was a young girl with pitch black hair, pale skin, and fast asleep. She looked familiar. On her frail wrist was an outline like a scar, a birthmark.. a sliver of a moon.

It was her.

Hi! Hope you are doing well :) Can I have a free reading? My initials are TS & I am Gemini ♊

My question is - How can I feel love in my life?

Thank you ❤️

Hi TS, I am doing much better!

I pulled the 8 of cups for you. "Emotional upset is keeping you from making any meaningful progress. Don't cling to resentments and pain. Set them free." This card represents the need for introspection, letting go of the past, and embarking on a journey of emotional growth and fulfillment. It tells you that feeling love in your life begins with exploring your own emotions and needs. Take time for introspection to understand what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. Let go of any attachments or emotions that no longer serve you. Release past hurts, resentments, or expectations that may be holding you back from experiencing love fully. Focus on building authentic connections with others based on mutual respect, understanding, and emotional support. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you, fostering deeper connections and a sense of love in your life. Be sure to open yourself up to new experiences and connections that align with your true desires and bring love into your life in meaningful ways.

Love, Willow

Creating a Safe Haven: The Importance of Natural Cleaners in Our Homes

Hello dear homemakers and health enthusiasts! Today, let's dive into a topic that's close to my heart as both a homemaker and a naturopathic geek: the importance of using safe and natural cleaners in our homes. In our quest to create a clean and welcoming environment for our families, it's essential that we prioritize not just cleanliness, but also the health and well-being of our loved ones. Let's explore the impact of conventional cleaning products on our health, particularly on cognition and toxicity, and discover the transformative power of natural alternatives.

First and foremost, the hidden dangers lurking in many conventional cleaning products. From harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances to toxic fumes and irritants, these products can wreak havoc on our health, compromising indoor air quality and posing risks to our respiratory system, skin, and overall well-being. But perhaps most concerning of all is the impact of these chemicals on our children, who are particularly vulnerable to their effects.

You see, kids have a knack for getting into everything—including cleaning products. Whether it's curious toddlers exploring under the sink or adventurous preschoolers mistaking colorful bottles for toys, the risk of accidental ingestion or exposure to harmful chemicals is all too real. And the consequences can be dire, ranging from mild irritations and allergic reactions to more serious health issues such as respiratory problems, neurological effects, and even poisoning.

But fear not, dear friends, for there is a solution: the transformative power of natural cleaners. By harnessing the cleansing power of nature's bounty—think vinegar, baking soda, essential oils, and plant-based detergents—we can effectively clean our homes without compromising our health or the environment. These gentle yet effective alternatives not only leave your home sparkling clean but also provide peace of mind, knowing that you're creating a safe and healthy haven for your family to thrive in.

Moreover, natural cleaners offer a myriad of benefits beyond their safety profile. They're environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals and toxins, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homemakers. Plus, they often boast antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, helping to combat germs and pathogens without the need for harsh chemicals or synthetic additives.

Let's make a pledge to prioritize the health and safety of our families by embracing the transformative power of natural cleaners. Let's banish harmful chemicals from our homes and replace them with gentle yet effective alternatives that nourish both body and soul. Together, we can create a clean, welcoming, and truly safe haven for our loved ones to thrive in. Here's what I'm using and loving here in the cozy little cabin.

Here's an amazing recipe I created to make your own homemade cleaner at home:

Lavender Lemonade Sparkle Spray:

Ingredients:

1 cup distilled water

1/4 cup white vinegar

10 drops lavender essential oil

5 drops lemon essential oil

1 tablespoon witch hazel

1 teaspoon liquid castile soap

Instructions:

In a clean spray bottle, combine the distilled water and white vinegar.

Add the lavender and lemon essential oils, along with the witch hazel and liquid castile soap.

If desired, add a splash of rubbing alcohol for extra cleaning power and sparkle.

Secure the spray bottle cap and shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Your Lavender Lemonade Sparkle Spray is now ready to use! Simply spritz onto surfaces and wipe clean with a cloth for a fresh, sparkling finish that leaves behind a delightful aroma of lavender and lemon.

Enjoy the unique blend of calming lavender and refreshing lemon as you clean your home, turning chores into a fragrant and uplifting experience.

Enjoy!

Love, Kimmi

The Tragedy of Jaunepin: Why Jaune would be a terrible Ozcarnation.

Imo Jaune and Oz are likeminded, but mostly in ways that make themselves and each other worse. And their strengths would be canceled out by the others flaws. Combined with the circumstances of canon, and their individual flaws, the resulting merge would make a new Ozcarnation that would bring out the worst in the two.

Jaune’s strengths are that he’s kind, friendly, loyal, and brings out the best in others. Oz has reached the point where he doesn’t trust anyone, he’s lost faith in others and believes he can only truly count on himself to do what needs to be done. He isolates himself because he’s been hurt and lost before and he’s unwilling to open up to others again. Oz’s strengths are that he’s pragmatic, while still at least espousing ideals, has several lifetimes of knowledge and experience, and he’s good at manipulating people. Pre-V7 Jaune is prone to emotional turbulence, defeatism, impulsiveness and needs other people to be the best version of himself.

Jaune and Oz’s combined self-loathing, lack of self-worth, propensity for lying and unlawful means. Jaune’s growing distrust in authority figures due to the events of canon, most notably the reveal of the circumstances leading to Pyrrha’s death. Of which Ozpin is at least partially responsible. And Jaune’s personal issues would feed into and create a loop with Oz’s greater personality problems. Oscar gets off light with the merge because he’s a simple character, that basically exists for the merge, with not much of a strongly defined personality. Even early Jaune was fairly complex and had a very defined character, and exists for reasons other than being Oz's next incarnation, which makes the merge messier.

Jaune would fight the merge much more than Oscar, for several reasons. The primary ones being he actually has an identity to lose, not to mention a family, and he’s suffered more directly and indirectly due to Oz’s actions and failings. Suddenly he has the headmaster that failed him and his friends in his head telling him how Pyrrha’s sacrifice was necessary and now he must do the same. We never get to see him come into his own like in V7-8.

Oz would be left worse off because of how opposed and unwilling Jaune would be, not to mention how Jaune’s grievances and rightful indignation would feed into Oz’s existing negativity. Every time he takes control would have to be unwilling or under duress, which would only make the whole deal more tense. Ozpin doesn’t admit he was wrong and get the chance to trust again.

Whereas Ozcar is about both sides uplifting each other, Jaunepin is the two constantly pushing and dragging each other down. Oscar is made a part of things greater than himself and accomplishing things he would have never done on his own; Jaune on the other hand was well on his way to progress into a better version of himself, and chose the fight of his own free will. A merge would mean his chosen journey is hijacked by Ozpin, and his potential stolen. And rather than a fresh start, Ozpin gets a host that hates him and has good reasons to do so.

Obviously that’s all my interpretation, and I’ll admit I’m focusing on the negatives because I think that makes for a more interesting story. But I do believe what I said to an extent; a Jaunepin merge would be more of a tragedy as opposed to Ozcar’s classical hero’s journey for several reasons. But obviously anyone could write the same thing to be triumphant or positive, that’s a matter of execution.
