PAC: A quick and dirty guide to surviving the eclipse season~

WHY DID NOBODY WARN US ABOUT THIS

(pile 1 to 3- left to right)

~~~~~~~~~~

PILE 1:

How is the eclipse affecting you?

I immediately heard 'they don't really care about what others think anymore.' I'm getting that this eclipse really helped you step back into your authenticity in a powerful way. You might've had to revise and purge old wounds that had their roots in childhood. Any addictions of yours (if you have/had any) have been addressed because of this grand 'purging of the old and unwanted.' It's like your defense mechanisms have taken a backseat because of your inner work around the root of your addictions (maybe your addictions were part of your defense mechanisms). You might've had to live with a certain darkness looming in the background, no matter what you did in your life or where you went in life, and it seems like you've really had to look the root of this darkness in the eye. The eclipse didn't really give you an option; you simply had to. Let's talk about this darkness a little, shall we? It seems to me like you had a stark lack of a healthy masculine figure as well as a lack of a healthy feminine figure in your life. You didn't have much support as a result of this, you to felt or still sre felling disempowered in your life as a whole. THIS is what the eclipse helped you to wake up to. Through the chaos that you're experiencing right now, you'll find exactly what you need to nurture yourself (maybe for the first time ever, for some of you). I feel like you guys might end up tending to the health of your root chakra as a result of this inner work.

Your guide to getting through it like a soldier-

-Care for your anxiety. By that, I simply mean don't deny or suppress your anxiety; see where it's coming from, feel into it, and really sit in it because what you feel, you heal.

-Use EFT (emotional freedom techniques) to help yourself really sit in difficult emotions and/or anxiety.

-ALONE TIME is a need!

-Find ways to 'throw up' emotionally. Like, for example, have a hardcore dance session by yourself at 3 am to angry songs if you have been feeling angry lately. OR you could write all your emotions down onto a paper and tear that paper up and then have a big cry session. Whatever allows you to FEEL your emotions, go do it.

-After your heavy 'purge sessions,' seek things that bring you comfort. Indulge in some TLC if and when you can 😊

PILE 2 :

How is the eclipse affecting you?

As soon as I tapped into your energy, I felt extremely light and airy, as if I turned into a cloud of cotton candy floating away into a bright blue sky. Wow, this tells me one very CLEAR thing - you've done your inner work diligently this eclipse season! You've taken the eclipse energies on actively and worked WITH it, absolutely in sync with the universe. Now all that's left for you is welcoming a brand new energy into your life.

How can you do exactly that?

-Actively schedule in things that bring you joy ✨️

-Every now and then when you feel like heavy emotions are rising to the surface, allow them to pass. Let your emotional intelligence shine, sweetheart.

-After you've felt your emotions, it's time to take care of you! TLC all the way, baby. Think long bubble baths, move slower than usual, enjoy yummy foods, wrap yourself in your favorite blankie. Drink some soul-healing soup. You get the vibe.

-Ground yourself. Listen to grounding frequencies whenever you feel like your thoughts carry you away.

-Mother yourself. By that, I simply mean - feed yourself well, allow yourself a consistent sleep cycle, find ways to make your life easier, support yourself in whatever little ways you can 😊

PILE 3 :

How is the eclipse affecting you?

You're going to have a 'real awakening' this eclipse season 😬 So, apparently, you've been going through your life blissfully unaware of your wounds and how they were blocking you from living a far better life. You operated under the impression that your life as it is right now was good just the way it is and honestly… a reflection of your full potential. But you couldn't possibly be further from the truth. It's like this eclipse was a rude awakening for you to realize just how limited of a life you were leading. Must've been a difficult thing to process? Yes? Since your old cycles have been blowing up in your face lately, you've been in a process of empowering yourself and are slowly opening up to new aspects of yourself that you previously weren't aware existed, the parts of you that are deeply emotional and intuitive. Doing this will really boost your strength and resilience in general. But there's some good news I have for you. You're on your way to feeling much more satisfied in your life, sprinkled in with great relationships all around you. It's like you're headed to a more aligned life. It's beautiful to be honest. It's obviously going to come after this intense period of awakening ripples out into a plateau though after a period of internal discomfort.

So, how can you survive this period to get to where you wanna be?

-Slow. Tf. down. Take your breaks and pace yourself. Easier said than done but pacing yourself will really help you through the chaotic energy floating around right now. Walk slower than usual, eat slower than usual, stare up at the sky and daydream when you're on a bus or something. Do romantic stuff (not necessarily with a partner, simply for yourself).

-Take some time on a regular basis to tune into your emotions. Learn how to feel again. It's really important for you right now and also doing this will greatly expedite your journey as well

-Replace some of your social time with alone time. Use it to reflect on yourself (this might feel way out of your comfort zone by the way).

-Do abundance affirmations (or all areas of life) and affirmations for forward movement.

-listen to subliminals that bring you a sense of abundance in all areas of your life.

-Find ways to feel active in your own life. Dabble in main character (MC) energy. See what it means for you.

Platinum Bones Week - Day 01 - 31/03 - Winter

WAHOO! I am SO EXCITED! Not only is Watching and Dreaming only a week away, but look how far the silly little term me and Samsa made just for King and Collector's friendship has come! Wow! A whole week of prompts! With multiple people participating! It feels magical.

The first day's prompt was either Dance or Winter, and I chose Winter!

Something else you will notice as a peculiarity in all my work for this week is that I have tried to consistently show you a window into my own interpretations of King and Collector as teenagers. I want to take these silly boys for a spin one more time before canon inevitably messes with them, either by deconfirming what they'll go on to do or what they'll look like. But for now! Let us live in the present and read!

The premise of this one is quite simple: King and Collector go to a frozen lake to ice skate, only, it's just Collector, really, who finds it quite odd King doesn't want to ice skate with them.

Collector snapped a finger and bright red skates with stars on them appeared over his feet, and he hummed to himself with satisfaction as he stepped into the frozen lake.

"King," he turned around to his best friend, who had been watching at the edge of the lake, fluffy tail curled up around him, grey fur dotted with the white snow all around them, "You wanna skate with me?"

"You ask me that every year." King rolled his eyes. "You know I don't skate, Collector."

"'Don't skate', what does that even mean?" Collector put their hands on their hips, ready for an argument. "If you ask me, everything is a matter of just trying it first, and then getting good at it."

"I don't have skates that fit me." King pointed out.

"I can make you some… ?" Collector was confused by this, and to prove a point, snapped a finger to give King brand new skates.

"I… I don't have good balance." King rubbed the back of his neck.

"You can hold onto me and I'll teach you!" Collector smiled brightly, leaning over to the titan.

"I… I'm just scared, y'know." King admitted, now sounding a little upset. "It's cold and slippery and what if I fall and I fall so hard I fall through the ice and get frozen up or snatched by a beast demon or worse!"

"You big baby." Collector giggled a bit cruelly. "You're bigger than any average adult witch now, I'm sure you can handle falling in some icy lake."

"Yeah, well, I don't wanna risk it, y'know?" He stated and shivered, curling up around himself even more now.

"Huh. Hey, where's that jacket I gave you? Or the gloves your mom got you?" Collector asked.

"You know I don't like wearing stuffy clothes." King snarled, already a bit irritated.

"But you're cold! I know you have a ton of fluffy fur but I still see you shivering! I don't even know why you come here with me just to watch me, doesn't it suck to just get cold and watch someone else have fun?" Collector argued, gesturing all over to King and all the snow around them.

"Well, I like watching you. And I don't mind the cold that much. It's nice." King gave a little smile.

"Yuck. I honestly think the only good thing about winter is getting to play in the snow and skate around. The cold sucks." Collector hugged himself and stuck out his tongue.

"Then why don't you go to The Knee do that stuff more often if you like it? Why wait for winter?" King tilted his head.

"Well." Collector went back to skating around, tracing patterns on the ice, hands behind their back. "If you wait, winter comes to you anyway. You can't really escape it. But The Knee is cold all year 'round, and where's the fun in that? I think it's better to make good of a bad situation when it comes to you, rather than seek it out. It'd get boring if you could always do winter-y things."

"Huh. I guess that makes sense." King conceded.

They feel silent for a while, only the sound of Collector's skates beating the ice into its shapes echoing all around them, and the snow covered trees shaking with the occasional small demon that jumped around them to get to its burrow.

"Hey. Do you really like watching me?" Collector halted on a pose, one foot behind them, arms splayed out delicately, head held up high, but turned slightly so they could see King out of the corner of their eye.

King gave a soft giggle, near imperceptible under his breath. "Well, it certainly beats staying home doing nothing. Like you said, it gets boring if you only do the same thing all year 'round. It's like… our thing, you know."

"We have a lot of things we do together, dummy. You watching me skate is just another one of 'em." Collector skated closer to the edge where King had been watching them, and leaned over with their hands behind their back, grinning.

"It's still special to me." King stared back.

Collector stepped back with a puzzling expression, then smiled to himself awkwardly, averting his gaze. He seemed to be thinking.

Finally, they reached out with both their hands towards King, smiling reassuringly. "Hey. Come on. I promise I won't let you fall. Whatever happens, I'll be here, you know I'd never let anything bad happen to you."

King sighed, but couldn't contain a smile under all that. "Eh, what the heck. Let's try something new."

He gave his paw to Collector, and let himself pulled up and into the lake, still wearing the skates as he perfectly slid into it.

And immediately began shaking and twisting his knees and whining like a puppy.

Collector laughed. "C'mon, it's okay! Just relax, you need to let your legs spread out so your weight will distribute evenly."

"O-okay…" King looked down, which only seemed to make his trembling worse, but he did spread out his legs a bit, as Collector had asked him to.

"There- there you go, see!" Collector pivoted to face King, holding his paws as they skated in front of him, steadying him gently.

King opened his mouth in a tentative grin, his tail swinging behind him gently, in awe of his own ability to keep the balance.

"Let's try moving a bit…" Collector let go of one of his paws, and continued holding onto the other, and turned back around to pull King through the lake, skating slowly still.

Sure enough, they were moving, slowly but steadily. King could not contain his joy, tail wildly whipping from side to side, and Collector simply looked at him and beamed, a little proud he'd gotten his friend to finally stop being boring.

"I'm doing it, I'm doing it!" King exclaimed. "I didn't think it'd be this easy!"

They went at a faster pace now, King feeling himself confident enough to slide his skates over the ice, one paw after the other, Collector keeping up while only holding his paw for assurance.

"See! And you thought you weren't gonna like it." Collector said in a mocking tone, puckering his lips and talking as if whining like a baby.

"Yeah, we'll see who's the big baby now!" King grinded to a stop, and gave Collector a mean yet playful look, puffing up the fur on his back and growling, curling the claws on his front paws as if about to pounce.

Collector clearly understood the cue, and gave a happy little shriek as he turned to run away, skating as fast as possible to escape the titan that was now giving chase.

They chased each other in circles for a while, attempting to grab each other and often purposefully teasing to do so right before giving up and turning around.

Finally, they halted around the edge of the lake again, panting their lungs out, tired but still happy. Collector seemed distracted adjusting their pigtails around their earmuffs again, the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack. King readied himself, growling in anticipation.

"Hm?" Collector looked up at him just as the titan was about to pounce.

Sure enough, King had unhinged his maw in a maniacal grin, paws to the front, but before he could jump- he sunk.

Turns out the pressure he had applied to jump up from the ice had been too much, and so, the lake gave out, engulfing him as he let out a yelp.

The last thing King heard was Collector's exasperated voice shouting for him.

"… -mean to, I didn't mean to!"

"Collector, calm down, you brought him back as fast as you could, he's gonna be alright!"

King slowly regained his senses, coughing as he blinked his eyes open, feeling the familiar warmth and softness of the Owl House couch around him, and soon realizing he had been wrapped in a lot of blankets and towels and was being warmed up by quite a lot of piled up fire glyphs.

After recognizing the sounds and sensations, his hazy vision adjusted with the brightness to see Eda, Luz and Collector huddled around him.

"Heyyy, there. You okay, King?" Luz leaned over, petting his skull gently. "You know, I once fell in a lake too when I was 10, only it wasn't frozen. Was gross and boggy, though!"

King laughed a bit, and coughed up a bit more, some lake water exiting his mouth. And soon after, a sneeze. Oh, recovering may take a while, huh.

"Upgraded from toilets to a frozen lake. Not bad, kid." Eda grinned, teasing him.

She set down a cup of hot chocolate on his lap, and he gladly took it, dipping his tongue gently so as to not get burned.

He paused, still getting used to how hot it was, then looked around. Collector had just been there a while back, hadn't he?

He caught a glimpse of white hair moving just out of sight into the other room, the sound of nervous pacing and shaky breathing.

"Colly?" King called, adjusting himself to sit up better.

The pacing stopped, although the shaky breathing was still present. Eventually, they stuck their head out at the door.

"Uhm, yes?" They looked at King with a sad expression, it looked like they were about to cry.

"Where're you going? You're not gonna tell Luz and Eda about teaching me to ice skate?" King tried to lighten mood, giving them a smile.

"What!" Luz had clearly not been informed of King's new feat, apparently.

"Ooh, is that what happened?" Eda turned to them, crossing her arms and smiling inquisitively. "All they'd said was that you fell in the lake, didn't specify how."

"That would explain why they looked so guilty, and all the apologizing." Luz reasoned.

"What?" King was confused. "Collector, can you come over here?"

Silence. They remained in the doorway, looking away from the scene. They shook their head.

King sighed. "Alright. Luz, Eda, can you… give us some space? I think I know what this is about."

"No, no, I was just going." King could tell from this their voice was shaky.

King sighed. "Make him stay."

Eda and Luz nodded, with Eda giving a loud whistle soon after.

Before Collector could make a start for the door, Hooty responded to Eda's sign by wrapping around him, and soon Eda and Luz were by his side, glaring at Collector.

"King said he wants to talk to you." Eda told him.

"C'mon, you're best friends, you should at least go see what he wants." Luz tried to sound a bit kinder.

Collector groaned, gritting their teeth. "Fine! But you have to leave us alone, like he said."

They nodded between each other, and so Hooty let him go and Eda and Luz left the room.

Collector stepped back closer to King, sitting at the edge of the couch, still refusing to look at him.

"Hey." King said softly.

"Hey." Collector's voice broke near immediately.

And they started crying, tugging on both their pigtails and shifting around.

"I'm sorry! You said you didn't want to and I insisted and I told you to trust me and that I could keep you safe and I didn't and you fell in the lake like you were scared of and you weren't moving and- and-"

"Woah, woah! Slow down! I'm okay now, really! And I'm not mad!" King tried reassuring them, though it didn't seem to be working.

"No, no!" They shouted, still sobbing. "It doesn't matter because I made a promise and I couldn't keep it and you could've gotten hurt!"

"Collector!" King said firmly, raising his voice slightly at them.

They stopped talking, though they were still wailing and sniffling.

"Look, I know you promised to keep me safe, and you did your best! But sometimes things we can't control are gonna happen, and you did good by bringing me back! That's already keeping me safe, right? So I could recover quickly." King shuffled on the couch closer to them and reached out a paw to touch their arm.

"Yeah? I guess…" Collector's crying subsided for a moment, and they wiped their face on their sleeve. "But you still didn't wanna do it until I pushed you to…"

"Collector, I'm not a helpless baby titan anymore." King growled and huffed. "I can make my own decisions, I tried skating with you because I wanted to, just like I follow you around every year to watch you skate because I want to. And you know what? I don't regret it, because I had fun."

"R-really? So you wanna come with me another day and try again?" Collector asked, eyes shining.

"Well, I still need to get better, I hope I don't get sick from this and all. But if not this year, then the next, for sure. It can be our new winter thing." King smiled, then went back to sipping his -now mildly warm- chocolate, more at ease.

"Oh! Definitely, definitely!" Collector jumped up happily. "I'm so glad!"

King laughed softly. "Alright, now if you wanna go, I won't hold you back anymore."

"Actually…" Collector tucked their hands behind their back and swung their foot around. "Could I stay a little longer and help take care of you?"

"Well, that's one way of making it up to me." King grinned at them. "Start by calling Luz and Eda back in and asking for more hot chocolate."

Hello Chockie! Do you have a head cannon that seems outlandish to many, but you 100% believe in and have made an extended essay to prove?

hello anon! i don't know if this is outlandish to many, but as some may be aware, i am one of the champions of the karamatsu assner movement and the brand ambassador of karamatsu's ass. my credentials are that you can google "karamatsu ass" and me and my art are consistently one of the top recurring results. this all stems from my steadfast belief that karamatsu has a delightfully fat ass, and my headcanon is that he (and the staff of osomatsu-san) make a very deliberate effort to cultivate its fatness. allow me to explain.

it's true all of the matsus get naked pretty frequently in the show for laughs, and several of them have shown their ass up front and center in detail, such as ichimatsu (ESP kitty) and todomatsu (hide and seek). however, none of them have consistently had as much ass screentime as karamatsu in all three seasons and the movie, whose ass when it appears as the central focal point of a shot is always drawn with great care and detail.

fig. 1: [1:06:54] karamatsu pulling his pants down to expose his ass in briefs. eiga no osomatsu-san (2019)

an addendum point to this is that his outfits almost always serve to emphasize his fine buttocks. the mt. takao outfit from season 3 as seen in fig. 2 demonstrates a common sight in karamatsu's outfits- booty shorts, which frame his ass flatteringly and draws even more attention to it.

fig. 2: [13:23] karamatsu shaking his ass. osomatsu-san S3E08 - mt. takao (2020)

this particular instance doubles as an example of both this deliberate ass-highlighting design as well as proof of the detail the staff have painstakingly put into drawing it. for example, you can even see a hint of his bulge nestled between his cheeks and the Y-shaped shading under his tailbone to indicate the distinct cheeks, which were completely unecessary yet is included nonetheless, a testament to their efforts. additionally, please note the soft shine and reflective sparkle which give extra depth, softness, plushness, and roundness to what would otherwise be a cute, but fairly unassuming ass.

fig. 3: [14:31] karamatsu playing hide and seek. osomatsu-san S3E22 - hide and seek (2021)

fig. 3 is another example of great ass detail that was technically unecessary yet still included by the staff to emphasize how fat karamatsu's ass is, again using a soft airbrush and highlights to indicate soft plumpness. though some may argue that karamatsu's sweatpants are not clothing designed to emphasize the ass, he clearly picked tight-fitting enough ones to showcase a pantyline, showing a deliberate attempt on his part to cultivate his ass fatness.

as a final major example showcasing his fat assness, i would like to do a frame-by-frame breakdown of this scene demonstrated in fig. 4a - 4f from the skit "voice function", from season 3, episode 7 of osomatsu-san (2020). this scene in particular was in fact the source of the great karamatsu ass twitter discourse of 2020 [1], an event which in fact formed the basis of the karamatsu assner movement. i include this example because i believe it represents the crux of this headcanon's existence as "outlandish"- there were many instances of users who refused to believe that karamatsu's ass was just that fat. using the media player mpv, which allows users to scrub frame by frame on a standard 24fps basis, we can look at the exact frames at the center of the great karamatsu ass discourse controversy.

fig. 4a: we can see here already that the cheeks are very clearly defined as round.

fig. 4b: this is where the point of contention begins. detractors of karamatsu’s fat ass claimed that rather than him getting up ass first, then his back folding up along with it to stand up, that he was in fact facing forwards, and what we see as his ass in fig. 4c through fig. 4f is in fact one of his legs held up and bent. however, in this frame, we can see going off the curves of the silhouette visible that there is no way for this to be him facing forwards as we already know his ass is definitively curvy and round from fig. 4a.

fig. 4c: here we can see the natural progression from the previous frame as he stands up. if this is, as the counterargument suggests, him facing forward with his leg rather than his ass, then it would make no anatomical sense for his heda to be thrust so far back from his shoulders like this.

fig. 4d - 4f: it is in these 3 frames that we see karamatsu’s ass so fat it is jutting out at 90 degrees like a shelf. with this frame by frame analysis we have definitively proved that there is absolutely no way anatomically that karamatsu could have pivoted himself in the span of 4 frames (less than a sixth of a second) to be lifting his leg, rather than sticking his ass out, from the previous frames. QED.

i would lastly like to address two common counterargument to my claim: the depiction of his ass in some scenes that make it seem less fat than it appears. one counter example that may be raised is in season 2, episode 5, summer kamen (2017). now, this counterargument can already be disregarded from the get-go as there is no conclusive confirmation that summer kamen is related to, or indeed is karamatsu, as he is in fact a “mysterious entity” with no attributed name (osmt fandom wiki, n.d). however, even supposing that the hypothetical and unproven notion summer kamen is karamatsu is true, we can still dispel this counterargument. there are several shots in which summer kamen can be seen from a distance with a less than impressive ass that looks flat, as in fig. 5a and 5b.

fig. 5a: summer kamen in the middle of his walk cycle, legs together, from behind

fig. 5b: summer kamen standing from the side, full body.

these can be disproved as simply stances that are unflattering to the size of one’s ass, as in fig. 6a and fig. 6b which are only a few frames after fig. 5b, demonstrates the roundness of his ass relative to the rest of his body, especially the size of his thighs.

fig. 6a: summer kamen posing.

fig. 6b: the same summer kamen pose, but from a skewed 3/4s angle showing the plump shape of his ass even more clearly.

the other common counterargument i would like to address is that occasionally karamatsu’s ass can be seen with jagged lines drawn in the cheeks, making the ass look bony and sunken in- the opposite of plump and fat ass.

fig. 7: summer kamen as seen in season 2, episode 5 (2017), with the ass lines.

fig. 8: karamatsu as seen in season 3, episode 8 (2020), with the ass lines visible through his shorts.

however, on the contrary, i believe that this is in itself further proof of not only karamatsu’s ass fatness, but his deliberate efforts to cultivate it further. given the copious previous examples of how fat and soft it is much more often than it is shown as “bony”, it would make no sense for this to be his default state of ass. the much more likely explanation is that, as in the cases of fig. 7 and fig. 8, these are instances of karamatsu tightening and flexing his glutes for a dramatic pose, instead of being bony. furthermore, the fact that he can flex them so hard and create such definition that it is visible through his shorts is proof that he surely must do ample ass-exercise such as squats to tone the muscle that much- in other words, he has worked hard to cultivate dat ass, and this is proof.

in conclusion, karamatsu ass fat yum yum eat-a-dakimasu thank you for coming to my ted talk

saw your tags on the high school fashion poll and I must say: king shit >:D

HAHAHAHAHA thank you <3

May as well tell the whole story, I suppose.

Picture it. It's 2005. I'm in high school. Still a girl. I am not popular. My friend group consists of goths, burnouts, band kids, and MtG nerds (like, super MtG nerds. We'd show up to school like an hour early to sit in the cafeteria and play before homeroom). My breakfast everyday is the biggest size of English Toffee cappuccino you could get at Wawa and a king size Twix. The rest of the day, I subsist on Jolt gum and Mountain Dew. I have zero fucks to give about anything not related to MtG, anime, any show with the word 'star' in the title, and music.

I'm in a class that's probably meant to be something like Home Economics, but is actually the dumbest fucking class I've ever taken. The captain of the Varsity cheer squad (we'll call her Jane) is also in this class, along with several other popular kids. None of my friends are in this class. I am a weirdo in a sea of normies.

So, I'm wearing this outfit. It's just a t-shirt and my favorite pants. Which I bought at Hot Topic, ya know, back before they were super mainstream and all they sold was shit for weirdos like me. Anyway. The pants have buckles all the way down the sides of the legs. I, of course, think this is the coolest shit ever. I've worn this exact pair of pants at least once a week for the entire school year. They are my favorite pants.

So I am sitting at the big ass table that we have in this shitty home ec style class instead of desks. Just vibing. Waiting for class to start. Jane is sitting across from me with her popular kid friends.

She looks across the table at me, and in the super snotty tone of voice that you think only exists in high school drama movies, she says, "Um, I don't think you're allowed to wear chains at school."

I am vibing. Reading a book. Probably some shitty vampire romance. I don't even look up at her. "I guess it's good that I'm not wearing any chains, then."

"Well," Jane says, "your pants are against the dress code."

I'm thinking What are you, a cop? I look up at her at this point, mostly annoyed by the fact that this bitch won't stop talking to me while I am clearly reading, and I say, "I'll stop wearing them to school if a teacher tells me they're against dress code."

Jane full sneers at me and says, "Well, I don't like you because of the way you dress."

At this point, all of her friends are paying attention to the conversation. IDK if they're expecting me to get angry or upset or whatever. But their beady little drama seeking eyes are darting back and forth between me and her like they think there's a bomb in the room and we're somehow trying to disarm it with this conversation.

I close my book and smile at her. "That's fine," I say. "I don't like you because you're a shallow bitch."

I have never in my life seen someone turn so red, so fast. Clearly this was not the reaction she expected. Her friends are laughing at her. I am maintaining intense "come at me bro" eye contact. But that's the end of it. The teacher walks into the room, class starts, and Jane just... avoids me like the plague for the rest of my high school career. Mission accomplished.

Fast forward to late 2007. I've graduated from high school and moved out of my parent's place. I'm living with my boyfriend, and we both work at a steakhouse in town. I've been working there for about 3 months, and one day guess who walks in with a brand new fucking steakhouse waitstaff uniform. Fucking Jane.

I talk to my boyfriend that night, and I'm like... this bitch hates me and I swear to GOD I am not in high school anymore I will catch a charge if she fucks with me (I was in a very angry phase of my life).

Anyway, it becomes pretty clear that she recognizes me because she avoids me as much as possible when we have to work together. Then one day, we're rolling silverware at the end of the day and we end up at the same table. And it turns out... Jane is actually really fucking cool. She's into a lot of the same stuff as me, and we had an actual conversation.

The Incident(tm) came up. Neither of us apologized, but she was like "yeah, high school was weird for me because there's an image you have to maintain to be popular" etc.

Anyway, I can't say we were ever really friends, but we didn't hate each other after that.

Anyway, she's probably not on Tumblr, and I haven't seen her in like... 15 years. But I hope she's doing well and has been able to get what she actually wants out of life, rather than what she thinks she's supposed to want.

Lingshan Hermit: The Cunning Level of Human "Ego"

In the third season of "American Crime Story," it recounts the impeachment incident of that philandering president in the American political arena at the end of the twentieth century. Unlike most, my attention, rather than being primarily on the central figure, Monica Lewinsky, was more on Clinton. I was more interested in his reactions when facing questions. When Bill Clinton was questioned by independent prosecutor Starr about the so-called "Zippergate" incident, his responses and sophistry showed us how cunning a person's "ego" can be and to what extent someone can play with words. When Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr asked Clinton if he had sexual relations with Lewinsky, Clinton showcased his strong argumentative skills, coming from his background in law. He claimed that his intimate encounters with Lewinsky, by his definition, were not sexual relations since he did not intend to pleasure her – she was the one pleasing him.

Such scenes are not unfamiliar to me. Due to my role, I often play a part similar to that of Prosecutor Starr, frequently questioning students who have erred. Typically, I do this to help them uncover their true motives and the underlying values. So, I am no stranger to such scenarios. By consistently dealing with students' "egos," I have had the chance to see how different individuals' "egos" find ways out. I know what they will say, do, how they will argue, and how they will evade. When people's "egos" are cornered, their basic reactions are mostly predictable. Only a few of the best can straightforwardly admit their mistakes, while most will dodge and weave. I recall an instance when our kitchen water purifier broke and needed repair. When it was dismantled, the worker found that it was domestically assembled, even though the person responsible for purchasing it told me it was a Korean brand. When questioned about this, after some hesitation, he claimed that the main components were from Korea, so in his mind, it was Korean.

See? This is the human "ego". When they want to "protect themselves", they can utter the most absurd justifications. Such excuses are eerily reminiscent of Bill Clinton's sophistry.

If you plan to embark on a spiritual journey, the first thing you shouldn't be doing is seeking ceremonial empowerment, studying scriptures, or immersing yourself in seemingly profound Buddhist teachings. The very first thing you need to do is to learn to be honest. If you aren't honest with yourself and your spiritual teacher, you can't even begin your spiritual journey. Because the starting point of such a journey is honesty, recognizing your state. Only by recognizing your true self can you genuinely begin. Most people live in the illusion that they are on such a path. Learning to be honest is tough; it might take decades. But if you want to walk this path, it's an essential quality. For most people, they are unlikely to learn honesty after they start or learn honesty without starting their spiritual journey. Hence, the only feasible path is to "practice" while learning to be honest.

I'm not saying you should always be honest with everyone, everywhere, and at all times. Our lives today have become incredibly complex. Sometimes, lies become a necessity for survival. However, you must know that there are certain entities and individuals to whom you mustn't lie. If you're dishonest towards the teachings, your mentors, then you are beyond redemption.

hi! I saw you're an esthetician and I have a question. Would you be able to help? My skin, particularly on my jaw, is bumpy with really painful cystic acne. They're not numerous but big (about slightly bigger than a pea) and I don't know how to get them to go away. I can't sleep bc it hurts to lay my head on a pillow and they're painful and bleed. I'm changing my diet so it's cleaner and I'm drinking more water, but I don't know what else to do.

Hi anon honey, I feel your pain - cystic acne is horrible and hormonal acne - which is usually what we experience when we have cysts on our jawline - is something I have personal experience with. First let me say that as an esthetician who hasn't worked on your skin personally, I can only give general advice.

And also, because I know how emotionally painful acne can be, your acne does not make your skin dirty or ugly or bad.

If you are able, try to make an appointment with your primary care provider or a dermatologist. I recognize this may be difficult or even inaccessible, but acne is a medical condition and cystic acne stems from deep in the skin, deeper than an esthetician is licensed to work.

If your quality of life is diminished by your acne, you need to seek medical care. It is possible that eating healthier might help clear your skin, but many things can contribute to acne and diet is not the only factor. Genetics, environment, stress, hormones, etc - these are some potential things that can worsen acne.

A doctor may prescribe you an antibiotic like doxycycline - because acne is a bacterial infection - or a topical like clindamycin, tretinoin or adapalene. Spironolactone is another effective treatment for hormonal acne. If none of these or other similar treatments work, they may recommend Accutane.

As a wax specialist and esthetician who specializes in ingrown hair care/acne care, I have to say that if you get waxed, you may need to stop taking your medication before a wax (depending on the drug it could be a week or two, or with Accutane we are talking SIX MONTHS). They also can inject the cysts with corticosteroids.

Please understand that our skin cells take weeks to fully regenerate so in order to see results, you need to be consistent with your regimen and patient with your skin while it heals.

In addition to seeking medical treatment, here are some suggestions I have for dealing with the symptoms of cystic acne:

1. Cystic acne is inflamed and deep. No amount of picking, ~extracting or touching you do to it will bring it to a head and release the nasty from your pore. I know it's hard to resist picking, but you will not be able to pop your cystic acne. You will likely make things a million times worse by pushing the bacteria deeper into the follicle and spreading the infection around. Don't touch it.

2. The inflammation is something you might be able to treat at home. Use a warm compress or a cold compress, these both work for different reasons to reduce inflammation and pain, but make sure you don't just apply ice straight to your skin - wrap it in a towel to protect your skin. Try to keep them on for 10-15 minutes at a time.

3. You may consider using a salicylic acid topical pad or 2% gel to help slough sebum build up in the pores, but definitely speak to a doctor because if they prescribe something for you to use, you don't want to do too much exfoliation. Adapalene gel or Differin is actually OTC in the US so you could also try that, but again, definitely talk to your provider. And any acne treatment will require you to wear sunscreen.

4. There is some clinical evidence to suggest Blue LED Light therapy is effective for treating acne because it is very good at killing bacteria. I am certified with a brand called LightStim, for full disclosure. I wouldn't recommend buying some product randomly at a store - LED therapy requires near daily use to be effective and you want the device to be well made but you'd do best buying a professional device through a provider or esthetician - LightStim is one line that is great, another is Celluma. But honestly these are expensive (my wands cost me like $140~ I think off the top of my head, and I got the professional pricing). You don't need these, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention LED therapy.

5. Take an anti-inflammatory medication. Sometimes we need to take ibuprofen to get through things.

6. Drink lots of water because it is healthy, but there is no evidence to suggest that drinking more water keeps acne at bay. Hydrated skin is healthier skin because if you're dehydrated your skin's moisture barrier doesn't function as well as it should, and that barrier prevents bacteria from invading our pores, but I see people say this a lot and it's really not related to acne directly. But do stay hydrated.

7. Change your pillow cases OFTEN. I sometimes notice I break out on one side of my face if I don't change them as frequently as I should.

8. Don't strip your skin of its natural healthy oils. Use a gentle cleanser (cerave hydrating cleanser is great) and avoid harsh bullshit like grapefruit cleansers or whatever else brands try to sell as acne skincare. Our skin needs oil just like it needs water, and stripping oil from our skin makes it produce more sebum out of desperation lol. Use a light moisturizer - again, cerave is really innocuous and affordable - and wear sunscreen. Wash off your makeup and sunscreen at night.

Good luck anon and let me know if you have any other questions!

im going to put a summary of what i’ve been going through under a read more to add some context to my absence. its a long one. sorry. also some trigger warnings for: abuse , death of a loved one , ableism , discussion of topics related to nausea

- i have been failing to deal with an intense workload that began all the way back in 2020, when my old computer died and i had to scramble to replace it in the middle of a global pandemic.

- i was able to afford the computer thanks to everyone being so generous at the time, but afterward, i still had bills to pay and needed to afford food.

- since art was the only way i knew how to make money, my queue quickly outpaced my ability to work and i haven’t recovered since despite permanently closing commissions last year (except if my need was dire).

- the stress and guilt associated with having such a long queue continued to compound, making it harder to do art in any capacity. i feel intense guilt when i draw anything not meant for a client. because of this, i don’t have much love for art at the moment.

- my “brand” of ADHD severely affects my executive function capabilities, i have constant issues with insomnia. weeks pass in the blink of an eye and i have no idea where the time goes. and i’m unable to get any treatment for it. my doctor refuses to prescribe anything, and those in my family are unwilling to help me seek treatment with a specialist for adhd.

- up until may-june of this year when i was able to finally get treatment after months of testing, i had had a chronic stomach condition (for the past 5-6 years) that would give me monthly, sometimes weekly issues such as intense nausea and lack of appetite. i would spend every waking moment throwing up, subsisting off of pedialyte popsicles and a cold medicine strong enough to make sure i was never awake enough to full grasp how awful i felt. i lost all joy for eating. every meal was a gamble if i’d feel fine or doom myself to be bedridden for 3 days. there were times i was so weak i couldnt remain awake for longer than 15 minutes at a time. couldn’t think. i was terrorized constantly by fever dreams. so because of this, my every waking moment became dominated by this obsessive game of “am i sick? am i going to be sick? is this a false alarm?” it was maddening and i missed out on so much. my only experience of MFF 2019 was walking through the dealers den for 30 minutes alone because everyone in the group had already looked through everything and wasnt interested. id never felt so alone in a crowd of people before.

- if i wasnt sick, i was recovering and dreading the next time i would inevitably get sick. it haunted my every waking moment. i thought every time it happened “maybe this one actually kills me”. and the whole time the tests turned back nothing. the meds didn’t do anything. it took over a year to finally get a medication that helped and im terrified of ever living like that again. it was hard to get myself to work when i was an anxious wreck huddled in a corner afraid i was going to die, and while i no longer get sick, those anxieties still color every aspect of my life

- now that im unable to work consistently on what i do owe, and now that i’m taking no new commissions, i’ve made around $500 for the entirety of 2022. which isn’t much to live off of, so i’ve been existing entirely on the good will of others. while i’m so thankful for all the help i do receive, it makes me feel like a leech. it makes me feel like everyone will start to hate me eventually when they notice i’m not getting better as fast as they thought i would. and if im not getting better, what was the point of sending money to help?

- on top of all that, my home life has progressively gotten worse. i opened up about my experiences with autism to the relatives i live with, as well as what i deal with because of adhd, and they have been unsympathetic at best to actively abusive at worst.

- one of them has weaponized my autism against me multiple times, and as recently as last week, intentionally triggered a panic attack in me to manipulate me into doing something for her. i’m not able to stand up for myself. i’m constantly infantilized and attacked for things i can’t help. she lets me live here for free, and if i speak up, i stand to become homeless. i have no other option than to accept the abuse of a family member. i have no money to do anything about it. and any money i do get would be put toward refunding people waiting for art.

- this very same family member is also very accident prone, and recently this year would have died in an accident had i not been there to help her. if i had not heard her calls for help. after this incident, i started to bolt out of sleep thinking i heard her calling for help again, and then i have a panic attack when i realize i had just imagined it. despite everything, it would be blood on my hands if i wasn’t around to help the next time something happened. so now im constantly on edge. constantly on the lookout.

- the other family member i live with is going to be dead soon. he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and he refused all treatment and chances to right the ship before it was too late. so instead, he has chosen to die. i don’t know how much longer he has left. he gets confused. he terrifies me sometimes. but there’s nothing i can do about it.

- i feel alienated from almost everyone in my life now. furries and friends alike. everyone i know is waiting on art from me, so i avoid talking to them to avoid the guilt of acknowledging its been months with no update. and when i dont talk, we drift apart. i stop feeling welcome in discord servers. i got pushed out of our mff group for mff 2022. i wanted to go so bad, but i dont think ill ever go again at this point.

- to wrap it all up in one bleak little bow, i am in the most hopeless place i have ever been in my life. i feel like my career is dead and forever tainted. i can’t blame anyone for wanting nothing to do with me now, especially after making people wait so long. i can’t come back from this. my mental health is doomed to deteriorate. just trying to exist in this house has been traumatizing. my one good irl friend i thought i had wants nothing to do with me anymore. i dont see a way out of this. even if a literal miracle fell into my lap and let me refund all the art i owed, it would all still be fucked. i can never make it right with people at this point. its too late. i wasted too much time. im just fucked and its just a matter of how long im allowed to tread water before real life comes knocking and i sink below the waves.

sorry for all that. i guess thats it.

putting my Star Trek Picard theory here under a cut so i can refer back to it at a later point DO NOT CLICK if you don't want spoilers for the end of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and potentially huge spoilers for Star Trek Picard -- i may be 100% fucking wrong but if i'm right i will SCREM

Now we know that in the year 2375, Benjamin Sisko defeated the Pah Wraiths' main embodiment, the Kosst Amojan, by sealing them in the fire caves on Bajor. Sisko did not die, but was taken by the Prophets, and revealed in a vision to his wife Kasidy that he would return for her some day as time was no longer linear for him, but he had a great deal of work to do before then

The Kosst Amojan was, coincidentally, the Pah Wraith who took over Gul Dukat and killed Jadzia Dax

IF the Kosst Amojan escaped the seal, it would naturally seek out an enemy of Sisko to embody once more. If it knew Sisko's mind in any way it could easily have learned that the biggest event in his life was Wolf 359, where he lost his wife Jennifer. His greatest mortal enemy, in Sisko's head, was Jean Luc Picard - Locutus of Borg - who he blamed for his wife's death

Jack Crusher is canonically 25 years old and the year in Picard season 3 is 2401, placing the events of the finale of DS9 exactly 26 years prior to the present day. The actor playing Jack is in his 30s, so why go out of your way to make sure it's specified on screen that he is 25 years old?? So the timeline lines up

Jack's powers and visions are consistent with the Pah Wraiths history, and Deanna described the darkness that surrounds him as "ancient and weak" which fits with the Kosst Amojan's current state. The red door in his visions also has fire imagery behind it, pointing to the fire caves of Bajor. His eyes go red, as did Jake Sisko's eyes and Gul Dukat's eyes when they were possessed by Kosst Amojan

I believe the Kosst Amojan escaped the fire caves and sought out Picard. It may have found that upon taking over Picard's body that Picard's loyalties and honor code made him incompatible with the Pah Wraith's basic nature, but a brand new baby would be the perfect vessel. In taking over both Picard and Jack at different points, it gave both of them Irumadic Syndrome - a fingerprint of its presence, so to speak. That explains why they both have it.

IF I am right and this is the case, it paves the way for two very fucking cool things in the finale:

Worf gets to fight against the Kosst Amojan, who murdered his wife, and finally gets revenge - a Klingon right

and

The potential fucking epic return of Avery Brooks as Benjamin Sisko

Late night thoughts and ramblings

I was thinking today about how things that become rare increase in value. I think the same applies to people who touch our hearts or make a real difference to the world just by being themselves.

In todays social media society there is a growing need for attention and validation,it seems to me that social media taps into an innate human desire to connect and seek approval from others to the point of superficiality.

While I don't believe social media is entirely a bad thing, I sometimes wonder if we are losing our organic sense of what really matters and genuine human connection, I wonder if we are slaves to posting to appease others I wonder who we all are behind the blogs.

I love the people who are positive characters when nobody is watching, humility and integrity are consistent in beautiful people, sometimes those people were created through suffering in some way but don't those things make people the most humble and kind, not being tied to social media brands or influence. How do you cultivate your friendships, your time and energy, how do you let go of a lover?, how do you treat people who offer you nothing in return? What matters to you?

You may say I am a dreamer but I'm not the only one. - JLennon

THANK YOU

September 26th, 2022 I came forth and spoke my truth upon freshly escaping an abusive relationship with my assailant where I took legal action thereafter. In October of 2022, I dedicated the rest of that year and next to recovering. I began receiving professional help in November 2022 and since December, I’ve continually worked to better myself. Seeking to become more connected with my community and others, I actively sought out non-profit organisations and places to volunteer where I started giving time when I could and quickly became partnered with several foundations. In the process, I enrolled in support workshops dedicated to survivors. Come January 2023 it’s been 3 months since entering therapy, volunteering and attending groups but that wasn’t enough for me. I started working 7 jobs, picked up boxing and began learning Spanish. It didn’t take long for my body to break down with me being chronically sick and immunocompromised so to honour the commitments made to myself — to take better care of myself physically, mentally and emotionally — I begrudgingly quit more than half of them. From February up to March I’ve dedicated my time to recovery, volunteering, enhancing my brand and working when I can. I’ve faced so many trials and tribulations in the process, and am still facing trials and tribulations; majority of them stemming from or relating to financial instability and being in a unsafe environment due to abusive relatives. Despite this, I’ve found and made so much peace with both myself and situations I’ve experienced, am experiencing, or will experience in the [near] future. With this new found appreciation for life and strive to consistently improve myself, I want to continue serving a source of inspiration for others, because regardless of the financial barriers I now know that anything is possible if you put your heart, mind and body into it. I’m beyond blessed to be in a position of privilege where as an aspiring entrepreneur I can encourage, entertain and educate others with my influence. I’m overtly grateful for the things I have while working toward what I want because realistically speaking, if it weren’t for everyone supporting me, I wouldn’t have half the things I own today. While travelling this journey to recovery I want my gratitude to be known. My journey is far from complete but I only ask that those who support me — newcomers and longtime supporters — continue being patient with me as I work to situate personal affairs and generate more content to say thank you. Thank you for all the love and support, thank you for bearing with me and thank you for your kindness most of all. I appreciate you all so much more than you know.

#thank you for everything

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

Always the hardest question, especially with my very bad imposter syndrome but! I actually have a real answer!!

I feel like I am good at blending tones in my writing, and specifically that I have a real knack for writing humor (or at least somewhat humorous/lighter/funny moments) even in fairly serious stories, in a way that makes my voice distinctive without being jarring or taking away from important emotional moments. When I was doing Whumptober, people pretty consistently commented that they liked that my stories were often funny even when they were still really dark, and in one of my most recent fics -- Variations and Fugue on a Theme, which dealt with the fallout of a really traumatic emotional moment in canon -- I wrote in a small running gag that, going by the comments, seems to have stolen the show, even while people were also saying I had made them cry about the characters and had really hit on the important emotional beats they wanted to see as well.

I think it makes me feel especially powerful because a lot of media has NOT really figured out the "Did you know you can be funny in dark/serious moments without it undercutting the moment being dark/serious" (looking at you, MCU) and also makes my stories a little more unique. It is cool to apparently be good at being funny, but especially to also be smart about being funny!

📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?

Cop-out sort of, but any ongoing longfic. One reason I wish I was better at writing longfic is because there's just a very different vibe to the comments on multichapter stories that makes me feel extremely validated as a writer. Most recently, the comments I got on Aurum Horizontale brought me so much joy, which was especially neat seeing as CR1 is a somewhat smaller fandom than some of the ones I write for (that one also had the extremely fun niche of commenter that had just gotten into the show via the Legend of Vox Machina animated series, because it was totally accessible to new fans seeking out content once they'd finished the season; it was really fun all around!)

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

I really, really want to write a slightly out-there, incredible messed-up Wittebane brothers (and grimwalker?) TOH fic where I just really dig into my reservoir of Biblical allusions and also slowly accumulating pile of headcanons about Caleb Wittebane. Love a character that we know approximately three things about who is probably going to remain a ghost haunting the narrative and never actually appear in the show. Unfortunately, I am very attached to him.

THAT SAID to properly do it, it would need to be Weird, and I haven't yet landed on the exact right brand of Weird, so it remains a vague concept and nothing more for the moment, at least.

would you consider making a list of your favorite online yarn shops/sources? i've been mostly sticking to knit picks and places like that and would like to branch out a bit

of course! i must say i love knitpicks and spent nearly eight years knitting their stuff almost exclusively! though i will say that as i have branched out in the hobby my tastes have gotten more expensive.

one brand i like that is not too far out of the knitpicks price range and is a bit trendier is weareknitters! their the pima cotton and the petite wool have 9000 ravelry projects between them. i made two sweaters in their yarn last winter and really loved them! i also recommend their kits to friends who are interested in learning to knit, they do a great job of teaching you the basics and getting something cute out of it.

other than that, i am lucky to have two local yarn stores that i love and will browse in person from time to time. that gives me a chance to experience the yarn not through a screen, which is immensely helpful if you can swing it. doing that is how i've started to find brands that i love working with and will seek out again. recent ones i've enjoyed, ranked from standard to fancy:

grandma's classic yarn store brands

berocco or paton's: perfect Gift Yarn: sturdy, consistent, easy care

rowan yarns: i made the same tanktop twice in their dk cotton this summer, and i really love their vintage patten magazines which are pretty easy to find online or at used book stores

>$20 skein highbrow picks

malabrigo: really fabulous colors, dense, warm yarns that look great at all gauges

shibuiknits and madelinetosh: fancy fine yarns for perfectionist garments

indie dyers

qing fibre and superglō fiber: two women who are insanely talented with bright colors, mostly pastel and neon respectively. i have yarn from both stashed for projects in my queue.

mezzo.makes: kate is a truly gifted hand-dyer and specializes in cohesive, vibrant color medleys. i bought sweater quantities of the ophelia color from her shakespeare collection for myself as a birthday gift and am really excited to use it!!
