Fairy Tale Curse
Valerie, Dan, Dani, Frostbite, Danny, Pandora, Constantine, Barbara, J'onn, Steph, Dinah, and Cass get sucked into a fairy tale world. They each get a chance to be the main character of a fairy tale.
Valerie's story is Little Red Riding Hood, where Dan is the Big Bad Wolf, Pandora's the Grandmother, Dinah and Frostbite are the Mom and Dad that sends her to Grandma's house, Constantine and Danny are the Lumberjack and Hunter that save Valerie from being eaten, while the rest are background characters.
Next up is Dan's story. Cinderella. He had to cook and clean for Dinah, Danny, and Dani. Then Fairy Godmother Barbara forced him to go to a ball where the Prince was Constantine.
Then it was Dani's turn. Her story was The Frog Prince. Steph turned out to be the Frog she had to kiss.
And on and on the Stories went until everyone got a turn being Main Character. But there was one last story they had to complete before they were able to break free of the curse.
The last story they have to complete before getting out is Twelve Dancing Princesses.

hello!! i saw you wanted requests and I was wondering if you would be willing to write some platonic headcanons for the Hazbin Hotel crew with a reader who has chronic pain. (i totally get if you don't want to) thank you so much and I'm excited to see what you write in the future 😺
Hazbin Hotel Crew x Chronic pain having! GN! Reader
A/n: tysm for the request !! This is my first time writing something like this so I hope it’s okay :3 (if there’s anything I got wrong, please correct me)
Warnings: Mentions of chronic pain and disability (but like.. that’s pretty obvious lol)
Fluff✔️ Comfort✔️ Angst❌ Smut❌

‧₊˚✧ Alastor ✧˚₊‧
📻𖤐 After a while of Alastor observing you, as he does with most, he’d notice your body language and think the way you acted was a bit odd…
📻𖤐 Not in a bad way, he just didn’t understand at first why you sometimes visibly look like you were in pain or even just hobbling around to get somewhere
📻𖤐 it definitely raised his brow…
📻𖤐 Before actually approaching you and asking you about it, I’d like to think he made one of the egg boiz spy on you like he did in that one episode 😭😭
📻𖤐 I don’t know what he was expecting though. The only somewhat valuable piece of information he gathered from what the little talking egg had told him was that it saw you taking pain medication. Which did not narrow it down at all and not much of his curiosity had been quenched quite yet..
📻𖤐 So, one peaceful and early morning in the hotel, he decided it’d be best to just ask you about it.
📻𖤐 “My dear, are you feeling alright? You look to be quite discomforted…?” He’d ask casually as he took a sip from his coffee mug, one brow raised and his eyes fixed on yours, pretending like he hadn’t noticed this before today.
📻𖤐 After a chat, he was informed you had something called “chronic pain”. He asked a few questions, nodding when he got the answers and once he was satisfied, he walked off back to his quarters in the hotel.
📻𖤐 After all, he had so much research to do.
📻𖤐 Adding onto that last once I do feel as though Alastor would do more research on it when you decided to tell him about your condition.
📻𖤐 Mostly for his own benefit of learning something new since he hadn’t heard of this before… but it came in handy if you ever needed a bit of a helping hand.
📻𖤐 Like, if you happened to have a flare up or just a particularly bad day he’d sit with you and made sure you rested up.
📻𖤐 He wouldn’t verbally express it but he did take pity on you. How unfortunate you were in constant agony.
📻𖤐 He is a sadistic little fuck though so he’d probably find it mildly entertaining or at the very least fascinating to see what’d make you tick or was a challenge for you
📻𖤐 Although he’d try to be careful not to push you too much.
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✧ Angel Dust ✧˚₊‧
🕸️ᥫ᭡ We all know Angel Dust doesn’t have much of a filter so it wouldn’t take him long to ask you why you could barely stand upright for too long or look like you’re genuinely struggling all the time.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ In fact, he’s more perceptive than people would like to think he is. He noticed it shortly after you two had met.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ He’d probably come off a bit strong, saying something along the lines of “toots? Ya alright over there? Ya don’t look so uhhh.. you don’t look too hot.” As he gave you a one over.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ You could tell he wasn’t trying to be insulting to you though, he was just concerned and wanted to know what was troubling you. It showed ever so slightly on the spiders face.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ Once you explained to Angel your condition he felt bad. Like, huh? Whatdoya mean you sometimes have trouble even getting outta bed in the morning because of how much pain you’re in?? Sometimes you neglect your own basic needs because you’re in constant pain?
🕸️ᥫ᭡ As he tired to wrap his head around the thought, he’d ask if there’s anything he could do to help. Of course though, there wasn’t much he could do.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ From that day on, Angel would try to make things at least a little easier for you. You had earned the title of his friend, after all. Why would he let his friend suffer alone?
🕸️ᥫ᭡ He loves to cook and is pretty good at it so expect a few homemade meals on him at least a few times <3
🕸️ᥫ᭡ If you ever had a flare up you better fucking believe he’d sit there with you and just talk. He rambles like an old man lol
🕸️ᥫ᭡ Also 100% has movie nights with you with both of you guys’ favourite snacks.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ Oh and of course his pig Fat Nuggets would be joining you two
🕸️ᥫ᭡ And thankfully the little guy adores you. Which gains some points with Angel
🕸️ᥫ᭡ The piggy would crawl into your lap if you were up for it. He’s pretty light and his oinks and squeals are bound to make you crack a smile
🕸️ᥫ᭡ Angel is no stranger to feeling pain, so he knows how much it sucks.
🕸️ᥫ᭡ That’s why I believe he’d be one of the best people to tell. You’re his friend and wants to make sure you’re okay as possible.
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✧ Husker ✧˚₊‧
🍺🃁 Husker, much like Angel, would notice almost immediately that something was up with you…
🍺🃁 At first Husk couldn’t place it. He just knew that he didn’t often see you standing up straight for long periods of time and that you looked like you were constantly unwell.
🍺🃁 Was it just bad migraines? He’s never really seen you drunk before so it’s not like it could be really bad hangovers.
🍺🃁 Plus, this has been going on since you arrived here so that seemed highly unlikely.
🍺🃁 Husk was the type of guy to keep it to himself though. If it didn’t concern him, why bother saying anything about it?
🍺🃁 One day though, you sat yourself down at the bar and asked for some water. This time however, you looked worse than usual, practically doubled over as you stared down at the bar.
🍺🃁 Even though Husk usually kept his mouth shut.. he couldn’t help but ask if you had a headache or something and if you needed some migraine medication.
🍺🃁 He wasn’t heartless.
🍺🃁 When you shook your head no slowly and told him you were just having a “flare up” he asked what you meant to which you gave a brief explanation of the condition you have.
🍺🃁 Suddenly, it all made sense. That’s why you looked like you were constantly in pain. It’s because you were.
🍺🃁 He slid you the ice cold water gently and observed you for a few moments before going back to wiping the glasses as he spoke to you.
🍺🃁 “If you need something don’t be afraid to ask for it.” He’d say, his deep voice trying to be as comforting as it can while also maintaining somewhat of a nonchalant tone.
🍺🃁 Then, after that, it became routine for you to sit at the bar with him.
🍺🃁 He definitely wasn’t complaining. It was nice getting to know you and since you had a place to just sit and rest, he got to see you more often.
🍺🃁 you swiftly became good friends with him and he was pretty helpful when it came to your condition.
🍺🃁 he’d do his best to check up on you often :)
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✧ Vaggie ✧˚₊‧
🗡️☪︎ Vaggie heard about your chronic pain from Charlie so there wouldn’t be a need to tell her about it lol
🗡️☪︎ I have a feeling she’d be a little awkward with attempting to help you out…
🗡️☪︎ Like it’s not like she can really make you feel better so it’s a bit of a struggle for her..
🗡️☪︎ But she does try her best though because she cares about you. You’re her friend.
🗡️☪︎ After a few motivational words from Charlie she’s good to go, attempting to comfort you.
🗡️☪︎ I have a feeling she’d try to help by grabbing you stuff you wanted or needed and chatting with you.
🗡️☪︎ She’s actually quite fun to converse with, she’s pretty sweet when she wants to be and can hold good conversations :))
🗡️☪︎ She’s a good listener so if you wanted to vent or just had something on your mind, she’d listen.
🗡️☪︎ During flareups, Vaggie would just stay by your side and wait it out with you, if you needed anything, she’d be on it and would be back pretty fucking quickly too 💀
🗡️☪︎ Would put a random show on if you wanted a distraction and might let you rest your head on her shoulder if you so desired
🗡️☪︎ I can’t think of much else for her other than the fact she’d try her best. Maybe mess up a few times but ultimately she means well and tries to be as understanding as she possibly can be <33
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✧ Charlie ✧˚₊‧
⭐️☀︎ The first thing you did when you arrived at the hotel was inform the very excited daughter of Lucifer that you had chronic pains so you might have to take it a bit slow when showing you around the Hazbin Hotel..
⭐️☀︎ And of course, Charlie being who she was, was very understanding and accepting of that fact.
⭐️☀︎ She’d heard about your condition before so making accommodations for you wouldn’t be an issue
⭐️☀︎ She’s a sweetheart so quite literally your biggest supporter
⭐️☀︎ Like, oh? You need something??Ohmygodwhydidntyoutellmesoonerhereitis :33
⭐️☀︎ Much like Vaggie, she’d sit and talk with you during your flareups
⭐️☀︎ Maybe make you a tea and discuss future plans and such for the hotel to get your mind off of things. Works sometimes surprisingly enough.
⭐️☀︎ She’s nice to talk to, very comforting vibes
⭐️☀︎ But it may get a bit annoying how many times she asks if you’re sure there’s nothing she can do to make your pain go away somehow lol
⭐️☀︎ Or even just how many times she asks if you need something. “Do you need anything? No? Are you sure? Okay…. But are you really sure?”
⭐️☀︎ Might stress herself out on occasion over it tbh😭🙏
⭐️☀︎ But she only means well, you know that.
⭐️☀︎ Her cat Keekee I’m sure would love to cuddle, the cute cyclopean kitty pushing its forehead against your hand for pets (only if you’re up to it, of course.)
⭐️☀︎ Asides from Angel, Charlie would definitely be the best person to tell in the hotel because like… genuinely she just wants to help In any way she can lol
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✧ Niffty ✧˚₊‧
🧼𐙚 Niffty is quite blunt as well, very out there and doesn’t really think before she speaks half of the time it just kinda comes out 😭
🧼𐙚 So.. she’d probably take one look at you, and ask why you’re in pain.
🧼𐙚 To which you’d explain to the little one eyed maid your condition, she’d think about it for a moment before asking a shitload of questions about it to which you answer :))
🧼𐙚 Other than that I don’t think Niffty would like… really do much?
🧼𐙚 Maybe clean for you
🧼𐙚 But there’s not much else she would do, realistically, she might forget about it and then ask again. Once you remind her she remembers tho lol
🧼𐙚 During your flareups I do believe like the others she’d sit with you for a while…
🧼𐙚 Before spotting a roach and scurrying off to go take care of the pest. Once done, she’d come back and the cycle repeats.

Why is your name sparklecats2009?
Today I'm writing a post addressing my name. I am constantly being asked questions about my username, to the point where I am slightly tired of explaining it. So this post is dedicated to this topic.
So, firstly, there is a one big problem that many people don't know, so I am careful to say it:
I grew up in a small area where everyone knows each other, and I wanted to try to create an identity for my art that would allow me to hide from my transphobic family. I wanted a name that would be able to be on my applications, curations, social media, websites, gallery shows, etc, but would not mention my real name upfront.
.. so far, this hasn't worked 100%. It is pretty hard to convince people that sparklecats2009 is my artist alias, and not just a regular username.
On that note: I decided based on my sparklecat thesis that my alias should be a nod to usernames. The internet culture now is very welcoming to using your real name. In fact, it is more professional if you do. However, you used to be hard pressed to find someone on the internet spouting their real name. The early 2000s had many programs and curriculums dedicated to "being safe on the internet", and many encouraged you to make it as unidentifiable as possible. Numbers are a key factor - many people ended up doing their birth year as their username. Sometimes the number was just random.
OK, most people say, I understand you draw sparklecats, but why are you 2009?
Simply put, I didn't think very hard about the number. I just decided that 2009 was the birth year of the sparklecat. This is only anecdotal - many people were drawing sparklecats before 2009, but I personally thought 2009 was the year the phenomenon was fully realized. the user "memoriesofgreen" has done research to indicate that the term "sparkledog" was likely coined around 2007. So I wasn't very far off. While I didn't feel like the specific number was particularly important, I knew the number was important for expressing the username concept.
I don't think we should have to use our legal names for everything. It's stupid. You don't ever get to change your legal name unless you have money and other resources, and you only get one.
NO, when I sign a painting as 2009, that is because it is MY NAME.
NO, I was not born in 2009.
YES, if you refer to me, please use sparklecats2009 in context to my art. It is an important part of my project.
It is similar to when a musician has different aliases for different music projects. I am sparklecats2009 and I make cat fine artwork.
One day I hope people will understand me better.

Heya~ it's me again, your beloved ☁️ anon *insert tsukasa laughing*
I'm very sorry for being inactive this lately, school and homework are sucks and I don't even have time for myself😞.
And, OH just saw your doing my req and I wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING MY REQ, IT'S SO CUTE🥰. TSUKASA IS MY COMFORT CHARACTER AND YOUR WRITING MAKE ME MORE INLOVE WITH ✨MY STAR✨ AAAAHHHHSJEJDJD- (simp-)
------------------------------------------------
Anyways, i saw that fluff alphabet for tsukasa almost all the letters have been made except for 3 more letters. And i want to completed it.
That's why, if you don't mind, may i request d,l,n for tsukasa?
Don't pressure yourself and take your time, I don't mind if it takes long :)
Hope you have a great day^^
Hello my lovely ☁️ anon! I'm so glad you enjoyed that post and don't worry, I know school can be tiring ^^ and I'm so glad to announce that Tsukasa fluff alphabet is complete! WOHOOO!!
Anyway take care of yourself as well and I hope you enjoy <3
Tsukasa D, L, N fluff alphabet
Tag List: @alicewinterway18 - come get your future star!
Tumblr media
⊱ Distance ═ They are in long distance relationship. How do they act in it? Do they have any plans for meeting their lover?
You and Tsukasa probably met on some socials that had to do with performances or Saki introduced you to each other. If he meets you through his sister, he tries a little more to not loose contact with you. If you met on socials he still tries his best not to loose contact but he knows that it's easy through online...
When you got together, Tsukasa almost immediately wanted to go to you and hug you as a thanks for accepting his feelings to you, but of course he couldn't... but that won't stop him from any dates! He likes to video chat or just call you somewhere in the day so you won't be tired the next day. That's why sometimes he's just walking around the streets showing you places and talking about everything. You also probably know backstage of Wonder Stages like the back of your hand thanks to him!
After at least a few months of dating, Tsukasa starts to be more and more impatient, he just wants to go to you or wants you here with him! His family probably won't let him so when Wonderland x Showtime decided to go to your country for some research, he was so excited. Of course he immediately texted you and asked if you're alright with this place. And when the day he sees you comes, he literally rushes at you and captures you in tight hug.
"YN!! You're her!! We finally can have real date! C'mon I heard that this attraction is one of the best here!"
⊱ Lazy ═ How do they spend lazy days with their lover?
Dates with Tsukasa are often anything but lazy, although there are exception. For example if he's drowned out after a show and you're tired for whatever reason you may have, he'll lay on his bed with you and start cuddling. Sometimes he'll also put on some of his favorite shows or just music and will burry his head in the crack of your neck. If he's really tired you might even hear how he mumbles soft compliments to you without even realizing it, so feel free to just remember him about it later and you can see his flushed face.
"I'm not feeling like doing anything energetic today... What about we watch some of our favorite shows and cuddle?"
⊱ Nickname ═ How do they call you? Where did they took this idea from?
Tsukasa always saw you as his light, so that's not a surprise that he wanted to give you a special nickname. Names like darling, sweetheart, sunshine and similar sounded too basic for him. That's when he thought of calling you "his star" but you already call him like that... and if he's going to be a star, that nickname wouldn't necessarily fit... but at the same time you completely deserve to be called a star! That's when he ended up rambling to Rui how he can't think of any special nickname to you. And luckily for him, his friend started teasing him how he should call you "his co-star". At first he brushed it off but later he stayed thinking about it more and more, when he realized that it's not the worst nickname.
Tsukasa was really nervous about calling you that, he thought that maybe you won't like it or worse... will brak up with him because of that.
"H-Hello my dear co-star! ... Yes I called you co-star... should I stop...? If you don't like it I can go back to calling you YN!!"

Trigun Book Club! Maybe Wolfwood will show up in today's reading....
Archive
Trigun Volume 1: Covers + 1-3, 3 Detailed Thoughts, 4, 4 DT, 5-6, 5-6 + DT, 6 DT, 7-8, 9-10
Trigun Volume 2: Covers + Extras, 1, 1 Supplemental Research
Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for Trigun Vol. 2, Chapters 2-4 below.
Chapter 2: Diablo
Ok, Legato Bluesummers is a HUGE problem child, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE his character design. This guy would adore goth fashion.
Tumblr media
I wonder who's decided Vash deserves this particular hell. Also, it's noteworthy that the fact that they're sending TWELVE assassins after him (presumably one at a time) suggests they expect at least the first few to fail.
"Anyone in their right mind would keep that man locked up!" Hahahahahahahaha, try it.
Ugh, poor Vash.... He looks so sad and angry... and a bit scary. I'm worried for him.
Tumblr media
It would be absolutely understandable if his feelings here were toward the humans unjustly locking him up, but the text goes on to let us know that the primary thing on his mind... the source of all his feelings right now... is Knives.
Flashback time!
Ohhhh, this is a place where '98 hard deviated, but Stampede stayed the course. '98 had Vash, Knives, and Rem running around with a handful of other characters back then, but here, it's just them.
Honestly, I feel like this panel is hitting on more story themes than are immediately apparent.
Tumblr media
How sad that loneliness drove her to join Project Seeds. Sad, but understandable.
Oh, Vash, babygirl. Someone hug him.
You know, there's another character who wears an outfit that looks very similar to this in present day. And it's not Vash.
Tumblr media
Full-on mom mode here in telling them what to do.
Vash looks older in this scene than he did in either anime adaptation.
Obscuring Knives's face. Smart. Can't see too much of him until it's Time.
TBH, Knives's argument here feels like justification after the fact. Like he needs a reason for everything that just happened to be right despite any elements of it going sideways.
For a pacifist, he sure can rock some serious murderface.
The ease with which he flips from murderface to softboi face is a bit disturbing.
He says this, but babygirl here looks SO TIRED. Whether or not he believes what he's saying, I think he really needs their kindness right now.
I don't know what Milly is trying to say/do here, but I wish her the best!
Tumblr media
I just want to note that knowing my kana has made the sound effects a LOT more fun for me than they'd be otherwise.
Mmmmmm, something tells me Vash is likely to be out of there before morning. It might be this big guy who just showed up and opened fire, it might not. Who can say?
Oh, honey. Vash is NEVER unarmed. Even when he's literally missing an arm.
Hi, Monev! Thank you for introducing yourself to the class! You can sit down now. There's an empty seat right over there.
Yeah, the LAST thing Vash needs is to be trying to protect some bystanders against anyone making this level of posturing.
Good question, Monev. I don't think Vash is quite sure what he's up against, but he's clearly not going to underestimate you or take any chances. Not after meeting Legato.
Goshdarnit, the girls are still here.
Yeah, this could get messy.
I feel like Meryl taking a hit here was kind of nodded to in Stampede, where she also rushed in against Monev and nearly got herself killed.
See? Gun arm. Vash is never unarmed.
Annnd he's no longer chained down, either.
Not sure what's going on here, but I doubt it will be good for the building.
Yep. Sayonara, windows. We barely knew thee.
What's wrong, Monev? Looks like you might have bit off more than you can chew.
Oh, man. This end panel, though. Current favorite Vash murder pose.
Tumblr media
Something something Hellsing something Alucard something aesthetic inspiration.
Chapter 3: Fragile
(The title makes me think of this song.)
Oof, little Meryl. I'm glad Milly's taking care of her.
I wish it was apparent who was thinking they can't let Vash go. I'm guessing it's Meryl, but that's based on metagame knowledge.
Iconic Vash pose.
Tumblr media
Oof, goodbye, buildings. May you meet up with the windows from the previous chapter in whatever afterlife architecture ends up in.
Ok, this pause, though. This deliberate pause. The way the panels move from Vash shouting as loud as he can, to this almost peaceful pose of his back with the "ooooo" hum being the only indication of movement as he looks at a literal wall, to the GIANT SWISS CHEESE EXPLOSION. That's such a good build.
Tumblr media
Ahhhh, and then this show of him focusing on the next page. People are getting shot, the world is exploding, and his gun is PERFECTLY LEVEL, his eyes are open. He's watching and waiting like a freaking ambush predator.
Tumblr media
Aaaand he's injured. Darnit.
BUT HE MADE THE SHOT. TWICE. And Monev knows it.
Milly, still trying to help. <3
Heh, Vash might have lost the arm, but he didn't lose the arm. Hahahahahahahaha
Babygirl, remember the lesson you were trying to impress on Katie in the last volume. Don't get so caught up in your memories that you forget to be in the moment. The past is already fixed. The moment is where you can do the most good.
Something something it may seem silly something will to survive.
Uhhhh, why are we going to the bank now? Maybe something about that vault being thick and potentially safe?
Dang, we can just follow the blood trail, can't we?
Oof, trying to reload one-handed like this. Hands shaking. Trying to remember his own potential despite everything.
Uhhh... why was there just a bag of weapons hanging out there? Did Monev put it there earlier? It looks like something you'd find in a video game.
Honestly, this security guard should just take the night off.
Can't have Trigun without the bigass guns...
Tumblr media
Vash is using the door as a shield. Just not the way one would suspect.
Again, with that perfectly steady hand.
Goodbye, Monev tough-guy mask. Hello, knee to the face.
Even after all this, Vash's resolve immediately cracks when he sees Monev's genuine fear of dying.
Again, with Rem's form blending into his and dominating the page. Meanwhile, he's just a shadow in the corner. Again, with the heavenly imagery of her, where here the only think keeping her from looking like a traditional angel is the lack of wings. But her hair, the way the cloth flows around her, and her whole pose speaks of angel's flight.
Tumblr media
And, shaking, his gun dripping with blood from the force with which he shoved it in Monev's eye, he comes back to himself. And loses it in an entirely different way.
I love this last panel. It makes Vash seem so small and so alone. At the same time, literally everyone else in the panel aside from Monev is coming toward him to help. He might feel alone, but he's far from it.
Chapter 4: Scars
Ah, yes. Fragile things do end up with scars, if they don't break.
Honestly, what Meryl is typing here sounds far more journalistic than insurance agent-y.
She's starting to realize that, while Vash himself is a nice and gentle soul, there's a lot about him she doesn't know. I'm reminded of that quote, "No one will ever know the violence it took to become this gentle."
(BTW, I'm listening to the Stampede soundtrack and it's currently playing the version of Knives's theme with vocals and it's NOT HELPING.)
(Also, it sounds like SOMEONE is developing a bit of a crush on Mr. The Stampede.)
Monev seems to have grown some respect for Vash.
Ha, they gave this line to Wolfwood in Stampede.
Tumblr media
I appreciate Vash's response. It says a lot about his character. Even when he seems like he's trusting, he's generally being far more cautious than people think he's being.
Quest #1: Complete! You've acquired a Coin Half!
*sigh* Everyone's scared, but he saved them all. But... their concerns aren't unjustified. If one assassin found him, the others likely will, too. And it's not like they'd send their biggest guns for Round 1.
You really shouldn't just walk straight into people's rooms. Even if you knock. Lucky for everyone he already had pants on.
Ugh, he's such a mess....
LOL, buddy. I hope that's not why you're turning down the opportunity for sex. And... if a partner really cared about you, it's not like she'd think less of you for them. Hasn't anyone ever told you chicks dig scars? Good on Meryl for calling him out.
Tumblr media
Vash might have initially been put off by them seeing his scars, but now that they have, he doesn't seem to see a reason to hide them.
I don't think Vash could live a quiet life if he wanted to. Not with the Gung-Ho Guns hunting him. We'll not get into Ericks for the time being.
This is such a thing, though. I don't think she would fault him or think any less of him if he never bothered to settle that score. Then again, all things considered, him taking a back seat in all this would kind of be ignoring a ticking time bomb that might undo all she sacrificed for.
Tumblr media
Huh, it's a bit of a surprise they let Monev stay for a few days, too.
There's something hilarious about Meryl's roller suitcase in the middle of the desert here.
LOLOLOL, Milly calling out Meryl for her intense interest in Vash.
Tumblr media
Milly is a lot more devious than she looks....
Uhhhhh, what's with the cross? What's with Vash's panic?
Ohhhh, shit. Is that Monev??
Yep, it's Monev. Is... is he still alive??? Crucifixion is specifically designed to 1) be IMMENSELY painful (the spikes are generally hammered not through the palms, where they'd just rip out, but through the nerve bundle that runs up the forearm between the bones, which are holding the majority of your weight), and 2) slowly kill via exposure.
Nooooo, I don't like this guy alreadyyyyyyy....
I... I don't think Monev had a home. Not really. Not like the Gung-Ho Guns were gonna welcome him back to the mansion basement. He'd need to make a new path for himself in the world.
Yyyyep, it's E.G. Mine. Please send him back where you found him. I don't like him.
Vash, staying focused in this.
TBH, that get-up looks EXTREMELY uncomfortable.
I agree, Vash. I agree. I hope you can dodge this trolley problem with an Option 3.
Tumblr media
Hahahaha, Vash manages to disable E.G. before his bag has a chance to drop to below shoulder level.
Howwww. How did he know Legato was watching?!
Oh, good. Legato's surprised by it all, too. And almost got shot. He's taking it pretty well, though.
Go for the source of the problem rather than the riffraff it's kicking up. Wise. Legato doesn't look pleased by this change of plans. But I think Vash is right to decide this quest is shit.
I feel very Two Cakes-y about manga Monev vs. TriStamp Monev.
(Warning: Spoilers for Trigun: Stampede ahead.)
There are things I like about both. And while TriStamp wrapping Vash directly into his backstory and mucking much more clearly with Monev's head might be a bit off-putting to some, I appreciated how much more personal they made his arc to Vash. You have all the same elements; a boy betrayed and trained to be a monster, released primarily to cause Vash pain, and then just as it seems he might be saved from everything he's been through, his life is cut short in a way that does NOT endear Vash to his killer.
But in Stampede, Monev's arc also holds the full weight of 20 years of Vash being too late. Too late to save the town. Too late to save the boy. To short-sighted to see the consequences of just trying to help. Too slow to save the man.
It makes it hit in a far more meaningful fashion... but I don't know that it would be right for manga Vash at this point in his story arc. Right now, he needs to recognize and reconcile what he is and isn't. We've seen far more of him being silly than we've seen of him being dangerous, and here, we see him leaning into his more dangerous side. Through his arc in the manga, we too must start to ask the questions Meryl asks, and might begin to wonder if, perhaps, the Humanoid Typhoon is far closer to the edge than he immediately appears.

Traveling in the sky as if we were birds! Scene 2
9:35am 02/20/24
Sprinkles: Phew Phew, I'm here! N-Slash-A: Sprinkles! You arrived just in time, come on, you're very excited to travel with me on an adventure in search of the album of collections of inani-mates bats that you showed me just today. Sprinkles: Honestly Slash, getting ready to travel to buy this album will not be as exciting as it seems, because we will have to overcome several obstacles that we will face and as we are smaller in height it is likely that they will hurt us, here I brought money, at least around 6,542 dollars to be able to buy the album which only costs 249 dollars, I decided to get more money so that we can buy something else that we will find up front if we prefer. N-Slash: Okay, hey, do you want to talk more about the cartoons, the sports match or new games from the new generation that I'm interested in talking to you about right now, right? Sprinkles: Oh no now Slash, we need to keep our focus on the flight, we need to follow in the footsteps of the birds as they generally fly very straight and never suffer anything up front that could hit them face-on with any flying vehicle, keep your eyes open in! N-Slash-A: Okay sprinkles, I'll keep my eyes fixed on the front or maybe on you for a bit!
5:17pm
N-Slash-A: Hmmmm, oh sprinkles, can we land on some mountain out there, I'm already tired of flying and sweating non-stop at the same time! Sprinkles: No, don't give up, keep flying like I'm doing now, because if we stop, we could be devoured by sea creatures, you never know but it's better to be safe, see for yourself there below us, see, just sea, no flat land, just sea! N-Slash-A: Ahhhh, Okay!
12:30pm 02/21/24
Sprinkles: Look Slash, we're here! N-Slash-A: Ahhhhhhhh, until the end! Sprinkles: Hmmmmm let me see hmmmm, wooooow I received more than 50 notifications during the trip, hey Slash, look what happened, I received more than 50 notifications during our trip, which was long and difficult for choosy! N-Slash-A: Oh cool, it's just that I'm not very interested in this since I barely move as you're always active in this, ahhh hey sprinkles, I have a question, can we sleep here for a night, because if If you stop to look at the view, you'll soon know that it's the place we were looking for! Sprinkles: Ah, hmmmm, oh that's right, that's the place I was researching about this, phew, thanks for making me look at Slash and have a good night's sleep there Slash! N-Slash-A: To you too my love, good night! Sprinkles: Have sweet dreams and I promise I'll go to sleep right away, let me just take care of some things here!
To Be Continue…

It was a nice day at work. I am feeling really tired tonight but I think that's mostly because I am cold. Very much ready to go to bed.
I slept alright last night but my nose was all stuffy and painful when I woke up and so I felt really really tired. James came and gave me a big hug as soon as I sat up after my alarm went off. It helped me feel better.
I got cleaned up and dressed. Wore the new crew neck my mom got me. I just wanted to be cozy. I was struggling a little. My fingers hurt really bad and I couldn't get my shoe on and James helped me because they love me and I was very grateful.
James and me left together. I always like watching them bike away. It was very cold today. Frosty. I'm glad it feels like winter.
I had a nice drive to camp. And got there alright at 8. I was happy to be inside where it was warm.
I had a productive morning. I had my breakfast and started working on writing up a description for the CIT program. I would use chatgbT to give me some framework and worked on using that to build up a really professional description. I am pretty pleased. I would print that and the schedule I made. Then decided to do more printing. I figure that since we are going to have a meeting about the 3 things we wanted to accomplish with John the consultant. Cit program, training, new programs.
Alexi would come in around 9. And everyone else would come in within the hour. Sarah worked on research for the training manual. I would go through some old documents and pulling things I think will be helpful. Games and reading and such.
It was a really productive morning though. I would take a walk to the lodge. I filled my water over there and chatted with Joe. He teased me about forgetting my stuffing from the holiday party, but I was glad to have my cookware back.
I looked at the books in the musuem. I went and looked at the nurses office because they are almost done fixing the roof. Very nice.
I would have lunch when I got back to the office. And while I was eating I decided I should come up with a document for meal ideas for dietary restrictions for the summer so I don't have to try and think of options when I'm very close to tears during the summer.
This would be like a two hour research project. Looking into other camps menus. I found an article about Jewish and 7th day Adventists camps and they had lots of options! So I researched how to make them vegan or gluten free or nut free. And I only had like 2 fake meat options.
After asking Heather, I found out where the kitchen orders their food from so I was able to compile links for ingredients. I was very proud of myself.
Once I was done that I had a zoom meeting with Hawa and Mike from the national guards and I'm thrilled that I have 2 workshops on the calendar with them now. One is a paint and sip style, that we are calling a "paint along", and the other I think will be a printmaking.
I had to make some invoices for them. And that took a minute. But that was just fine.
I would finish my day with designing some stickers ideas for each village. I had a lot of fun creating that. I want to play with the idea of merch for camp more. We will see if any of it actually gets used but still it's fun to design it.
I would also decide on my birthday countdown project. I'm going to do a sticker sheet/flash sheet, with a daily drawing. I'm excited. That will start on the 15th.
I said goodbye to everyone and would head out. I told Sarah I would check at Manor Mill for her last bowl while I was looking for my last 5 pieces. And it is such a quick drive over. I was happy to see my pieces. The colors weren't what I was expecting but I love love love my bear bowl. I'm going to keep my jewelery in it.
I went home and got here before James. I was happy to be home. I put some stuff away. And worked on sending some emails. James got home as I was starting to do my knitting for the day. I love how it looks so far. I know we are still really early in the project but I am setting a good precedent and already weaving in the ends. I will have to sew them down once the month is done but I am very pleased so far.
James would sit with me and tell me all about their day while I worked. And I would show them the documents I made and made me feel very smart and professional. I love my husband.
They got us frozen pizzas we could microwave for dinner. And after we ate they went to play DND with their friends. Well actually it's a different game but same idea. It was nice to see friends' faces.
I took a shower and washed my hair and now I am in bed in my cozy jumpsuit. I am very much ready to sleep.
I hope tomorrow is a good day. And I hope you all have fun. Stay safe. Wash your hands. I love you all.

Can you do....Madeleine x expresso? I really love that ship!
Trust me boo, 99% of this Fandom loves Expressleine
Tumblr media
Tk scenario #1
Espresso's deep in some work and hasn't said a thing all day.
Madeleine knew this was normal for him, but the knight was bored out of his mind.
He was tired of watching Espresso working all day, all he wanted to do was hangout with him.
So he tried to get his attention off the work and onto himself.
"Espresso! You've been on that for a while! Why not spend some time with me?!"
But Espresso's focus was nearly unbreakable. All he got for a response was a 'mh'. Nothing more.
Madeleine poked the researcher, watching him jump at the sensation.
Espresso gave him a glare as a warning.
He has his attention now..
"How about we do something fun today?" He suggested, giving him another poke.
"Madeleine.. I suggest you stop"
"And what if I don't? I'm just asking to hangout Espresso! Nothing more"
As Madeleine spoke, he gave Espresso numerous pokes, either to the side or right in his ribs.
It was testing Espresso's patience, and he knew that well. But if it was to grab the coffee's attention, then it was completely worth it.
After a while of constant pokes and remarks, Espresso gave up and turned to face Madeleine who had a fat smile on his face.
"Oh! It seems you finished! Well then! We can finally-"
"You think you can get anything you please, hm?"
Full of himself, Madeleine gave Espresso a smirk.
"Perhaps.. I do. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Perhaps I do."
Madeleine smiled, pulling his boyfriend closer onto the couch to sneak a kiss. This is what he wanted. His boyfriend paying attention to more interesting, more entertaining, (dare I say more attractive) things.
Like himself!
"Mhm, really? And what are you going to do about it?"
Bodies close as ever, Espresso seized his chance for revenge.
"H-huh? Espresso! Whahaht ahaha yohohoh?-"
"Shush. I won't let you get away with torturing me that easy."
"TOHOHOHORTOHING!??"
"Pronounced 'Torturing' Madeleine. Do better next time"
Was it childish? Yes, and he won't disagree on that, but getting revenge on the very cocky knight was an opportunity he will never pass up.
This wasn't what Madeleine had in mind he'll admit.
But at least he got what he wanted!
Tk scenario #2
Espresso hates his laugh.
It's loud, it's stupid, its speaky, it's uncontrollable at times. It's. Not. Him.
He hates it. Absolutely hates it.
One time, when Madeleine and he were viewing a film, a joke that Espresso found amusing but his boyfriend didn't understand, caused him to laugh out loud. Unable to control the laughter that spilled out, using his hands from allowing it to get any louder.
After composing himself, he chose not to make eye contact with Madeleine, instead thinking of a list of insults if he chooses to comment on his laughter.
Madeleine on the other hand was astonished. In there time of dating, he never heard Espresso laugh out loud like that. It was beautiful to say the least.
He wanted to hear it again. In all honesty, he deserved to hear it again.
He thought about replaying the scene, but that would only result in him scoffing.
He decided to say something out loud instead.
"Espresso! Your laughter is wonderful!"
Espresso glared at him. Thanking the witches his dough was to Dark to make out the blush that was creeping onto his cheeks.
"No"
No? What did he mean no-?
"It's not. No further discussion."
Oh.
Madeleine proceed to go on, on how wonderful it is to here Espresso's beautiful laughter, while Espresso was denying everything he said, telling him to be quiet so he could watch the rest of the show.
Madeleine was going to go on but paused once loud laughter caught his attention.
He turn to see the film they were watching was playing a tickle scene.
Madeline turned again to Espresso to see him shift a bit in his position.
Something clicked.
Facing Espresso, Madeleine had a smirk on his face.
Espresso didn't dare you make eye contact. He could feel his lover's smirk radiating off him. He did his best to act like he didn't know what was going on, or as if the scene didn't bother him.
Neither of which worked.
No, he was fine. He was completely fine. He wasn't intimated, he wasn't getting itchy, and he most definitely was worrying over Madeline's fingers as they slowly got closer to his torso. He was completely fine.
"Espresso~..?"
Espresso side eyed him, now visually seeing his smirk. He never felt his heart drop so quickly. Madeleine was slowly getting closer to him and he only had one thing on his mind.
Run.
His legs did it without a second thought. Quickly running behind the couch, thankfully being fast enough to throw off Madeleine.
"Huh- Oh! So we're running now?"
Espresso didn't want to waste any time just standing there trying to figure out his next move. He ran back to their bedroom hopefully having enough time to lock him out. It's fine if he sleeps on the couch right? It's only fair.
The door slammed open before Espresso got the chance to close it.
He caught up quickly..
Madeleine quickly blocked his lover's way to run by backing him up in a corner.
Sheer panic raced through his veins.
"Get over here! I just wanna hear your laughter again!"
"Absolutely not! I won't satisfy you, just for your entertainment!"
In a swift movement, Madeleine managed to carry Espresso.
Ignoring all of Espresso's protests, and insults, the honorary knight placed Espresso on their shared bed, sitting on top of his waist so he wouldn't attempt to run away. Again..
"I promise I'll be gentle Espresso! There's no need to worry."
Espresso wasn't buying shit. He's keeping his dignity, even if it'll kill him.
"For you to think that I'll give myself up just for you to make fun of me!"
"Why would I make fun of you?"
"Oh please! Don't act dumb! I know exactly what your doin-HAH MADELEINE DOHohohoh!"
So much for his dignity..
There it was, his laughter Madeleine craved so much. Right there infront of him, along with a thrashing Espresso.
Could this night get any better
"I dehehemaHAHA yohoh leheahahaHAHAhah gohooh HahaAHHAhah"
"Espresso! Your laugh is-"
"SHUT- ihihihiht"
Something about hearing how 'wonderful' is was to hear his laughter flustered Espresso.
And every time he felt even more flustered than needed, he felt more embarrassed.
The more embarrassed he felt, the worse the tickles felt.
What type of loop was this!??
"MAHADeleihihihne stoAHAHahap"
"Oh yes in a moment! It's just.. you seem so embarrassed of your own laughter!
"Shudud uhuhAHAHap!"
"I just want to know of you agree that your laughter is as wonderful as I think it is!"
Madeleine stopped while asking, he never removed his hands though. Almost like a warning, incase somebody wanted to be stubborn.
"So do you?"
As much as Espresso "hated" every moment of what he just experienced, and knows well if he cooperated it'll all end in an instant..
He still had a point to get across.
"And so what if I don't!?"
"Are you sure its wise to be stubborn in a moment like this?"
"The only stubborn one I see is y-OHOHOH AHHahah!"
His stubborness will take him places.
Madeleine's happiness? Yes
Espresso's freedom? Ehh..

Wrapping Up Day 2 Exploring being a Cam Model: Exhausted, Confused, Determined.
I don't think it's every girls dream to be a cam girl but I know it's what I've wanted to do since I was maybe 19? I would dabble in it in my 20s because it excited me so much. I did private shows with people but in the large rooms I got too anxious and would shoot my load. I didn't know how to promote myself and I had trouble understanding the ins and outs of it with the research I could find.
This year I kick started my dead Only Fans I made back in 2020 and have had that running at an upward rate the past few months up to top 15% creators but that's just a lot of promo work to do to be making shitty money and still have to constantly hustle (especially when you're disabled). I still want to continue it, but I wanted to branch off. It felt like the perfect time to explore camming.
I jumped the gun and joined Chaturbate before I even really did any research and got verified. Then I started to do research. lol Classic me. But I did a bunch of research and was like I will stream tomorrow! Then woke up with pink eye. Grrrrreat. Well it gave me more time to research but I think I may of over done it.
Friday came, my eye cleared up, I decided I was going to do my first stream on a Friday night! Using Lovense OBS software on my shitty slow laptop! I spent an hour troubleshooting it all when I realized I just had to restart and not use OBS. Yuuuup. Then I got tricked by a gross guy. I should of trusted my gut. I knew it was wrong to believe him but then he had other people in the chat egging me on that he was right and confusing me. It was really fucking shitty. Dudes like that are disgusting. 🤮 I felt violated and gross but picked myself up and kept going. Everyone complained my list was too high. I lowered prices but they complained it was still too high. Like ffs I'm working here I need to get paid dudes. Finally a really nice couple came in who was a tad drunk and we had a fun time chatting and they tipped me a bit. I made 83 out of 86 of my tokens I made that day from them. I finally got tired of streaming and having dudes be rude and ask me to do things for nothing and not making money while I danced around clothed for hours. I streamed for 5.5 hours.
After I was so mentally and physically exhausted. I felt sad to my soul. I needed a human to cuddle so badly for just love and affection and kindness. At least I had Dexter there who held me all night.
Sunday I decided I was going to stream again. I lowered and changed up my goals and tip menu, put on some sexy Savage x Fenty Pink velvet lingerie and went in feeling very confident I had it today. By an hour and a half in I had to take a break and was so sore and felt awful. A dude throwing single tokens at me telling me to put a butt plug in, I told him my set price to put it in and I would not budge on it and he just left. Then a dude came in and put up a picture of a fake roulette wheel and made it say you spun *naked* and try to trick me into getting naked. I was like boy I haven't even set up a single game in my room. I went for a break and felt like I couldn't go back and just had to go to bed. But I just kept waiting for Tylenol to kick in. It finally did! I was able to get back in and it got better! Lots of super sweet and kind people. Lots who loved my soft belly. Tippers who enjoyed my tip menu items! Some random wise person giving me anonymous 1 token tips with pieces of advice for me. Like charge for PMs, raise my prices, check out other models, and gave me an exact model to check out too for helpful tips. I did have one more person come in try to trick me but I've caught on quick and told them nope. I've learned to stand my ground well now too!
It was an exhausting night! I danced around and shook my booty sooo much tonight streaming from 11pm to 5 am. I'm still confused but very determined to keep doing this and getting better! I'm gonna be the best cam girl I can be. 😜💕

One of those days where I'm just kinda done with my family owning a dog. She makes me tired in an emotional way and I know she doesn't mean to, it's just kinda frustrating...
(rant under the cut. Tw for animal death)
I've had a fear of dogs since I was really young, probably around 4-5 years old, since I went to a relative's house and her dog (who was fully grown, but she said he was a "puppy") jumped up on me and scratched my face (my mom said I was also knocked over, but I don't remember the moment of impact, just him running at me and the aftermath). I used to love dogs before that.
Years later, when I was around 9, my mom decided to get a dog. A miniature shar-pei, to be specific. Neither she nor my dad did any research on them before they bought one (current dog, her name's Winks). They didn't know they are usually aggressive and protective.
I tried to get over my fear of dogs when we got her. At first I was scared, but later on I tried petting her multiple times, but she'd always nip at me.
Then as she got older, and the years went on, she would still try to bite me for certain things. If I handed something to a parent, or they handed something to me, she'd always try to bite my arm. So I stopped directly handing things to my parents, or receiving things from them unless I knew she couldn't get to me.
One ordinary day I had gone downstairs and she went over to me and bit my foot. I locked myself in the bathroom, which was right next to the stairs. She had drawn some blood. I stayed in there for a while.
Another time, it was late at night and my mom was on the couch. I went over to sit beside her, but Winks jumped up on the couch before I could sit down and she bit my thigh. It hurt and bled for several days after that. Not a lot of blood, though. She also used to get kind of alert when I'd go over to my parents before that. I don't stand very close to them when they're seated anymore, even if they want to show me something on a computer.
A few years ago Winks began to follow me really close and growl/squeak if I went upstairs later in the day. I found out she wouldn't do that much if I was carrying something (like a large cup of water, a plate/bowl of food, laundry basket, etc.) so whenever I go downstairs, I always bring something up with me.
More recently I had started to wear shorts. One night when I was going to head upstairs, Winks silently went over to me, even when I wasn't close to either parents, and bit my ankle. Thankfully she didn't bite very hard, but my mom yelled at her when she did, so, she might have bit harder if my mom didn't notice. I don't wear shorts after 6pm downstairs anymore. I always put on a pair of long pants if I "need" too.
Despite all this, despite her singling me out to be super vigilant about, she also paces around downstairs some nights and squeaks because she wants me to go downstairs. Despite the fact my brother had gone on multiple day-long trips away from home, the one time I went on a 4-day school trip to DC she didn't eat anything, and now usually only eats at night when I'm around (which is why she squeaks). I don't get it. If I leave to go with a friend, she squeaks like she would if one of my parents left, but she doesn't react at all if my brother leaves the house.
What got me to type all this is because today she ended up finding a nest of baby bunnies under our back porch. Even though my dad put a fence up around the gaps under the porch, she still went under there and ate as many of them as she could. And it upsets me.
But I can't be mad at her for it. Because that's just her nature. I can't be mad at her about anything she did to me or to anyone or anything else because that's just what her nature is. I haven't even brought up a lot of the stuff she's done that has made me feel some negative way, just the major ones I remember right now.
But I am mad. I'm not mad at her. I'm mad at my parents.
I could say it was my fault she got those bunnies because I didn't put the bamboo stake in the right place when I looked at the fence. I could say it's my dad's fault for not putting the fence up in an effective way to begin with. I could say it's Winks's fault, but it's just her nature.
Or I could say...it's both my parents' fault for even getting a dog to begin with. Their kid, their little girl, me, who was, and still is, terrified of dogs, pleading with them not to get one. I told them not to do it. They knew I was scared of dogs. But they didn't listen. And neither of them did research on shar-pei temperament. And now look what we're strapped with.
I used to wear shoes all the time since I didn't want Winks to hurt my feet in some way. I don't hug my parents as much as I used to because I'm scared Winks will come after me if I did. My family can't go on day-long trips because Winks stresses out when we're not home. We once came home to our front doorframe all chewed-up on one side. We can't visit family members without bringing her with us. She's chewed up the doorframe of one of my uncles' guest room door because she was left in there alone. My uncles don't want us bringing her over because she's not socialized. So we don't visit out extended family much anymore unless one of us stays behind (usually me and my brother). One of our neighbors has to make sure their kids don't get close to our fence or else Winks would bark at them and scare them. My mom had to put a tarp around our fence so Winks can't bite any hands that may slip between the boards. My parents and brother have had to throw multiple dead animals out of our backyard because Winks would hunt them. My dad once had to beat a small racoon with a wooden board because Winks had picked a fight with it. We can't leave our trashcans on the floor or leave me and my brother's bathroom door open without something in front of it because she's eat out of the trashcans and she'd lick things in the bathroom she really shouldn't. I've had an argument with my brother over this.
I'm just tired, man. And I know whenever Winks passes, I'll be sad. Despite EVEREYTHING, I'm going to be sad. Whether it be because my parents will be sad, or guilt that I didn't try harder to bond with her, I know I'm going to cry. There have been a few times where I thought she was dead and it made me feel dread. Despite it all I still have some semblance of care for her. So even when she does pass, there won't be a sense of relief. I won't be able to go "it's over" and just move on.
I still talk to her. I still give her ice cubes and let her outside if she wants to go out. I still care about her, and sometimes I wish I didn't, and sometimes I wish I cared more.
And all this just makes me feel emotionally exhausted.
If I could go back in time at points throughout my life and change things, one of the things I would do is make sure my parents didn't get her. I'd tell them all the trouble we'd go through, and that they should get any other kind of dog than a shar-pei. Tell my mom that the cuteness isn't worth it, and to find another kind of dog she thinks is cute, and that's actually sociable. Maybe we could have gone on more trips. Maybe our family could be a little closer. Maybe my anxiety towards animals wouldn't be so bad.
But that's not what happened. And now my parents learned from their mistake, and brought the rest of us with them.

Still tired
Yesterday wasn't real eventful, none of my days really are. I wrote a letter, conversed with my mother, and went over my books outline while my daughter was at work.
The plan was to run to a store we'd went to the day before and return a tea cup and saucer I had purchased. I think I've mentioned before that I like old fashioned things...to a point. So when I limited my coffee intake and replaced it with tea I found my tea pot and kept an eye open for a cup and saucer that would match it. I bought the pot approx. 30 yrs ago and it didn't come with cups. Mug for coffee and tea cup with saucer for tea.
While I'm waiting for my daughter to finish her work as a big bunny for a children's Easter party thrown by the area library I made sure to do what was needed to keep my migraine to a minimum while the dogs, one in particular, talked to me constantly.
I made a concession about getting a dog, or two, after our three Shelties passed. They were siblings so 1 passed at 10yrs old and the other 2 at age 12. I liked their size but my daughter wanted a Husky. In case you don't know anything about Husky's they can be noisy dogs. They talk (different than a bark), scream similar to a Shiba Inu, and lead any drama class with full marks. Plus they shed like a busy hair salon.
After some research I said ok to a Pomsky. Half Pomeranian and half Husky that are classified as a designer dog. I didn't find the 'designer' part till after we obtained the first one. I'll try and post a pic of each later, I'm really tired today, but one is black and white like what a typical Husky would look like and called Yasha. Yasha means deamon in Japanese and his markings live up to the name in looks. Other is blonde with light blue eyes and called Natsu. Summer in Japanese because his eyes are the color of a summer sky.
Yasha looks physically more pom and is snarky and loves to talk and stomp is paws. He huffs while whipping his head around in disgust or throws a hissy fit when he doesn't get his way. He could win an Oscar for drama. We brought him home at 14 wks. old and he was basically feral. He likes us and will be snuggled and coddled but not outsiders. They are the "don't touch me" people. Bigger dogs are ok but if they try to pick a fight he goes straight for the throat. Same with ground hogs.
Natsu is more like a Husky physically and came from a good home at 14wks old, too. He loves people, kids he's standoffish but they move fast at him so...if they stand still he'll love them. This one howls at sirens and screams when he thinks it's time to go. Dog park? Scream to leave house then again to leave park when he or his brother are tired.
Both breeds are energetic so combined they still have energy and smarts in abundance. So they go for walks and to the dog park periodically. They also have a very large yard to run and play in. Trust me, they want for nothing. However, if they don't get to go someplace outside this property they get difficult. More difficult than normal.
After the stop at the shop I thought we'd take them for a walk along the river. It was in the 20's, we're having a second winter here in Michigan, and very windy but they went with my daughter for a total of about a mile. Yasha is 20lbs and has short legs and tires the fastest. Natsu is almost 30lbs but doesn't fight stopping when his brother is tired.
I personally only went 1/4 mile and then back. I go slow and just watched them speed walk along with boardwalk. I thought of pushing it and joining them but decided the after affects aren't worth it. So, instead of being a blob on the couch today because I hurt to much to move I have written 2 letters, meditated, straightened house a bit, prepped supper, and started cleaning my room while the pups napped on my bed.
That is huge for me considering I'm running a fever again and exhausted.

I will post the entirety of Dr. Crygor's diary, treated with a grammar-checking ai.
[source]
From now on, I would like to write about the results of my research. But the study is a secret! It would be a problem if someone stole my research.
Today's research was good, but in the end, it failed and exploded. Even if it explodes, I don't have hair, so I don't have an afro.
Today's research didn't go very well. Maybe a little more alcohol would be better. It was my luck to think so…
What happened after that is left to your imagination.
Today I went to Ninebolt-kun's house to play a game and found a strange creature in his house. It was a yellow, square creature, but what the hell was that? I want to make it a new research subject.
I did a little experiment today. Well, listen.
I tried heating gummy candy in a frying pan. After a while, many bubbles came out. I tried scooping and eating it with a spoon, but it's pretty good! I recommend it to all of you.
However, there are three things to be aware of. First, be careful not to get burned! Hot gummies are very hot. I burned my tongue, and it still stings… Second, cold gummies tend to stick to your teeth! He sticks to his teeth like typical candy can't! And third, completely cooled gummies get hard! This is probably due to the lack of foam. It's like candy, and it's delicious when you lick it.
If you have the chance, try it too.
Today was my worst day. Do you know the jetpack I invented? It's an excellent item that allows you to fly in the sky if you carry it on your back, but today I used it to go to town to buy research materials. Then, to my surprise, I ran out of fuel while flying, and I almost fell… I had no choice but to pick up a taxi and send it to the port, and from there, I swam back to the island where the research institute was located. As expected, I almost drowned on the way.
Oh, I just remembered that I need to buy research materials…
I repaired my jetpack and life-extending suit today. It was an easy task for a genius like me, but the injury from the fall still hurts… Try increasing the battery capacity of the jetpack.
I did a little experiment today. Well, listen.
When I'm tired of research, I always drink tea with glitter, but today I also wanted to drink coffee. But I also want to drink the usual tea. So I decided to mix coffee and tea.
The color became coffee-like, but the aroma was more potent than tea. It's strange. I decided to try it. It's not good… how can I say it? The synergistic effect of the bitterness of coffee and the bitterness of black tea makes it taste incomprehensible… it tastes both coffee and black tea, but it seems my tongue doesn't know how to react.
In a particular country, this drink is sold commonly. Is there a difference between what I made and how it was blended? As you get used to the taste, it may gradually become delicious.
I need to do some more research.
Great discovery! After drinking coffee and tea yesterday, I don't feel like drinking coffee or tea at all! If you apply this, you can stop drinking and smoking quickly. Let's announce it at the next academic conference.
Today I was invited by Wario-kun to have a barbecue on the beach. I was asked to bring a dish of ingredients, but I hadn't had a barbecue in decades, so I needed to figure out what to grill. So I got a special drink I invented to make him super bright, but Wario-kun drank it all. I was still experimenting. Well, just right. Let's observe Wario-kun's progress.
Wario-kun's condition after drinking a special drink seems to be quite good. It was quite a powerful drug, but it might be because Wario-kun could endure it. However, when they excrete, they return to their original state. Let's continue the experiment.
When I was about to buy some research materials I forgot to buy the other day, it rained for the first time. So, I went shopping with a "rainy weather jet pack" that I devised, but I left in my usual outfit, so I was soaked…
Do you guys know? If you eat gum and chocolate together, the gum will melt.
Long ago, when I was a child of ten, I discovered this fact and excitedly told my friends about it, but no one believed me. But I remember researching with different gums and reporting my findings to my friends before they finally believed me. Around that time, I began to aim to become a researcher. In subsequent research, I found that gum was soluble in oil. That's why it seems to melt chocolate and anything with oil content. However, it is not recommended since the body does not digest melted gum. Only those who are confident in their body should try it.
I had a hard time today. I was walking elegantly in the sky with my jetpack, but I fell asleep partly because of the fine weather. And when I woke up, I was lying under the building. It looks like it hit a building. Do you have to turn on the drowsy driving prevention function?
Do you guys know? Each hair has its rate of growth and lifespan.
According to my research results, hair grows about 0.3 mm per day. However, eyelashes and eyebrows grow slower than that, so even if you don't bother to cut them, the hair will reach the end of its life and fall out.
Of course, this experiment was done when my hair was still thick.
Today, with the help of Aubulonkun, I researched a spaceship. Among the planets in the universe, there are many places where civilization is more developed than the earth, and the world where Orburonkun was born is one of them. I could refer to the structure of the spaceship of Orburonkun considerably. If you add my technique to this, you can do something extraordinary.
I haven't been getting enough exercise recently, so when I was dancing flamenco, my leg was cramped, and I struggled for about half a day… Phew, it hurt…
I modified Cat-kun and Ana-kun's swords into high-tech blades, but today Cat-kun brought them with him, saying that the sword was broken. When I wondered how it was broken, it was just that the battery was dead…
This time, Ninebolt-kun brought it with him saying his skateboard was broken. This is also a skateboard that I modified, but the air intake part was undoubtedly broken. It seemed clogged, so when I disassembled it, I found a large amount of powder from the fire extinguisher. I hope you don't treat me too roughly.
Today, Orbulonkun came to ask us to repair the spacecraft. Jeez! I'm not a repairman! However, I was able to refer to spaceship technology quite a bit. In a year or so, I can build my spaceship.
Wario-kun came to the laboratory today. And surprisingly, he said, "I'm going on a space trip tomorrow, so build a spaceship by tomorrow!" Yesterday, I had just said that I might be able to make one in a year or so, but I felt like I had lost to Wario-kun and refused.
Hmmm! There is no such thing as something that I, a genius, cannot create! Let's start working on it all night now!
I made it… I never thought I could build my masterpiece spaceship in just one day. He's a genius scientist. However, although there are about 100 places where I'm uneasy…
Wario-kun invited me to go on a space trip as well. I've been thinking about doing space research, and I'd like to see how the spacecraft works with my own eyes, so it's a good time.
I'll go.
Strange! Going out into space on a spaceship would have been nice, but as soon as I warped, I returned to Diamond City! Moreover, the date is April 15th! …It seems that I was going to build a spaceship but ended up creating a time machine…As expected of a genius scientist…
I did much research yesterday and today to find out why the time machine was created, but I still need to determine the cause. In the first place, warp may mean going beyond time. Since the spaceship was just copied from Orburonkun's, I need help understanding the principle of warp… I need to study it a little more.
I argued with Spitzkun today about time slips. He seemed interested in science fiction, so I asked him to tell me a detailed story, and I became motivated. If I could move freely through time, other research would go much further, but…
As I researched time slips, I realized I needed to study more before analyzing. I often need help understanding what my predecessors in physics were doing. I can't help it because it's a little out of my field of expertise, but there's no way I, a genius, can't understand it. … Do you want to study?
Hey? Come to think of it, is "Made in Wario" already on sale? Will my game be well received? I was curious, so I asked the children of Diamond City. Then the answer was, "The demo is interesting!"
Dribble came in today saying that the taxi was in trouble. I just took a look, and it is not good. There were rattles here and there. The car has finally become unbearable after driving recklessly. But it was often mistreated. He said he would take care of the car a little more.
I received a report from Monakun collecting his impressions of playing "Made in Wario." …It seems that no one has written much about me. The game itself is interesting, but… Some people reported wanting to be my assistant, but you must be prepared to become my assistant, right? There may even be human experiments. It would be nice to have someone with a muscular body like Wario-kun…
Wario-kun came to ask for his bike to be repaired. When he wondered what was broken, the seat was torn. He said he farts too much! If you use this, it might be the driving force of the bike.
Today I would like to report on a study on tobacco. Well, listen. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for you. Not only is the incidence of cancer significantly increased, but it also makes people more susceptible to respiratory and circulatory diseases. Some studies have shown that smokers shorten their life expectancy by 22 years. In addition, I think rough skin, dull skin, increased wrinkles, and the progress of aging are severe problems for women. People often say, "Smoking makes my head clearer," but that's simply because nicotine withdrawal symptoms have been suppressed. Many people who become addicted to drugs have a hard time quitting. Cigarettes are harmful not only to those who smoke but also to those around them. You should stop smoking if you want to care for yourself and others.
I received a call from Wario-kun asking me to attend a round-table discussion on Made in Wario. He was busy with his studies, but he was threatened to destroy the institute if he didn't come, so he reluctantly decided to go. The round-table discussion ended in about three hours, but it was helpful as a reference, such as how to inspire. Isn't it possible to apply the ideas for game creation directly to research? Hmmm.
I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I will end my diary today. The reason is that I will study the time machine in earnest. I want to immerse myself in research, but the people around me seem to misunderstand me as a handyman, and I'm only asked to do repairs, so I can't do my research. I'd like to have a little more organized time, so I'm also thinking of making the research institute off-limits. Let us know if you have any good results. Please wait until then.

Exactly 2 years today. Got a doctor checked on me. That was a terrifying day of my life, tbh. 'Twas like 9 months before this very day of the same month(kapoya analyze uy😂) when I started feeling it, inside of me. But I just ignored it knowing I'm feeling healthy y'all though I kept on having episodes the following months(geek). The episodes stopped after the super lockdown I think, and rarely feeling it for the following months. But then somewhere before this month of 2 years ago(samuka sa pag analyze uy🤦) I got a super episode which I decided to see a doctor and checked on me (happy 2 years😂). The results was terrifying and my soul was like wanting to depart from my body(which didn't happen🙈). What I thought was something like just minor stingy but turned out to be the worst of all the worst. Nah! I was muted for the following days, was a bit lost, everything's empty and also the most frightening nightmare happened that totally wrecked my gasping heart. Everything went gray and the thought of me bearing it was totally sane and unacceptable. I decided to get a second opinion but the result's the same. Did my own research and made myself understand everything(this 3 consonant letters, not contagious tho but I'll be bearing it for the rest of my life😣). It's not curable but there is one thing that could stop the sting and episodes. Ek! I'm not into 'it' tho and still not seeing myself with that 'thing'. Due to what happened on those days I quite doubt myself and it was the first time of questioning my worth. That month and that year was the most nerve wracking event of my life. For the thoughts that wasn't heard, tears that was hidden, sleepless nights and I cried without sound like the silence alone is killing me. Every piece of me burst out and burnt down, left alone. Lost my job, distanced myself from my family, totally closed my doors, and I became someone I don't want to be, like someone from my past but more of no vision, was juggling of finding my way back and thinking of ending my life(which I didn't do anyway🥺). No warm hugs, shoulder to lean on, not a tap on my shoulder nor a single comforting words. Saklap! Like every inch of my body and soul was lost.
2/2
Words are better left unsaid, I felt that the real ones respected my silence but I know too well who among the real ones stayed and chose to understand my silence. But those days was the most trustworthy version of myself and no one really knows about it(my decision). Instead I did rise up, smiled and atta girl, gear up the best fitted suit I could ever have, bravery and hope. So it was never enough reason to bend down my knees and give up on my life. As time goes by and years came in my life I did understand everything, fully, being strong isn't enough if you lack passion in everything that you do. Despite every bad words I heard around, the never ending comparison and the head to foot stares jusme I don't care. I'm too tired with everything but I ain't giving a shit on giving up. We ain't cowards! All I know is that I'm doing what I want(with passion, panalo ako dito)coz it's not about how fast or slow I'd reached my destination but its about on how I enjoyed, learned a lot, accepting my flaws, forgiving myself and people, dealing with sudden twists and gaining self-love on my travel. I'm having a lot of fun and making sure I'll never regret my decisions(not rushing things but savoring every moments) and we'll never doubt myself anymore, ever. I am more than enough(says Ma🤗). Got the best support system and respect from my beautiful family and my few friends, this awesome life? dang! got my job and the never ending guidance from Him. So what else could I asked for? Yes, I do still maintain my medication and yakult's highest paid actor rn plus the patience I gained in this journey😉. Looking back and seeing how far I've come makes my heart giddy🙃. Almost halfway there and still picking up the pieces of what's left in me but I know, I'll get there(wherever this life leads me)💯. I'm posting this to appreciate myself for being tough enough in facing the hindrances and getting through procrastinating times. I am and will always be grateful for everything. Yeah, I'm proud of myself. Here's to manifesting for greater life, healing with time, more of being independent, still not growing up🙄but growing old🙈and for a stable and peaceful mind. Cheers to that😉.

Wilhemina Venable x Reader- When the time is right Pt 2
Tumblr media
Part 1, Part 3
word count: 3.5k
warnings: brief mention of dizziness and feeling sick, mention of scoliosis, angst + fluff at the end
A/N: Part two! I will write one more part, potentially two, kind of depends. I hope everyone enjoys this story so far!
Taglist:
@lunaticwhittaker , @mrsdeanhoward , @alexajbitar , @in-cordelias-coven , @kenzbro , @loverofallthingssarah , @twistedpoeticjustice , @billiebeanhoward , @minaslittleone , @lilypadscoven , @vintagepaulson , @ninaahs , @whitelotus00 , @httpfiftyshadesofgay
After getting back to your desk and quickly sitting down as it felt like your legs might just give up on you, heart still racing fast and mind filled with thoughts, you try and focus on the tasks ahead again. Your boss instructed you to make arrangements for the new partnership with Kineros Robotics and as you do some research on their website instead of clicking the Company History link or the product one to actually write the article, your thoughts trail off.
As a result, you click on ''Employees'' and you recognize the two men from earlier. One of them is called Jeff Pfister and the other one is called Mutt Nutter and you chuckle at that name. You learn they are heads of the company and then you see HR and there she is Wilhemina. In the photo she seems cold and harsh and not even in your worst nightmares you imagined meeting her would be like it was today.
First of all, you have trouble believing she works and lives in the same city you do now like it must be fate right? You moved and changed jobs and you find yourself in the same city? Your new firm working together with hers? and you running into her after thinking of her earlier while listening to some lyrics in your lunch break?
It all seems too good to be true and it definitely must be the universe sending you both some kind of signal. As you type out some words on your computer, actually trying to get some work done, you feel how shaky you are and that you can't even type properly. Taking a deep breath, you try and remind yourself to say calm and that this feeling will pass and reminding yourself this is just the result from today's events.
As you lean down to get your bag to drink something you see stars and you can feel dizziness approaching, so you slowly make your way to the employee's bathroom, also feeling slightly sick. Standing by the sink, you let some cold water run down your wrists and you also splash some cold water on your face to try and calm yourself down.
Obviously, it would affect you, seeing her again so unexpectedly but you didn't think it would hit you like this and feel like a tornado just rippled through your life. It feels like all this time since Wilhemina walked out of your life, the pain never truly stopped, and even though you had healed since, the scars opened again today.
After a while, you hear the bathroom door open and you hold onto the sink feeling sicker by the second. ''Oh dear Y/N are you okay?'' you hear one of your co-workers ask and rush over to you.
''Yeah I- I think I didn't drink enough'' you say and she offers to take you home but you don't wanna bother her. ''I think I will be fine'' you say and after drinking some water she got for you, you feel less dizzy but still completely exhausted.
''I will talk to Mr. Odell'' she says and before you can protest she is gone. After a few moments, she comes back with your bag and coat and guides you outside the building, and takes you to your car.
''Are you sure you should drive?'' she asks concerned but you reassure her you are fine. ''Thank you'' you say and she leaves with a smile and says ''Just rest and if you need anything just call'' and with that she leaves and you are left, sitting in your car and you let out a deep breath you have been holding in for way too long.
You start your engine, knowing deep down that you are in no state to actually drive and that you probably shouldn't but at the same time you just want to get back into the comfort of your own apartment, as soon as possible and lie down.
The drive doesn't take too long and with the window open, music very quietly playing in the background, and the occasional sips of water, you manage to get home quicker than you initially thought. You drop your bag and coat in the hallway and after shutting the door, you head straight to the bedroom, abandoning all your thoughts and things and practically falling into bed.
The dizziness quickly subceeds as you feel your body now adjusting to the comfort of your mattress, soft pillow, and blanket you managed to wrap loosely around your tired body. Sleep quickly consumes you, your body needing rest after this exhausting day, the thought of the redhead, causing this reaction, abandoned for now but she is here yet again to haunt you in your dreams, moments after falling asleep.
''No no no please don't leave'' you scream, currently caught in a nightmare, another sign your body and brain are still processing today's events. It feels like your personal hell, as you seem to relive the worst moment of your life over and over again and that's Wilhemina walking out of your life just in different scenarios and moments but it hurts in every form of it. Tears stream down your face as you beg her not to go but each time she leaves and it feels like dying every time.
The next morning:
As soon as your eyes snap open after hearing a faint sound coming from the other end of your apartment, you feel exhausted, the last night not providing you with the kind of sleep you needed for your body and mind to fully relax and be ready for another busy and packed day ahead.
Sighing, you rub your eyes and slowly get out of bed, your feet automatically following the source of the noise, that initially woke you up and as you realize it's your phone, you are somewhat glad for the distraction as it pulled you out of several nightmares. As you finally reach your bag, you retrieve your phone and you feel relieved as you realize it's 6:30 am and you didn't miss work. At the same time, your heart skips a beat as you see Mr. Odell's number this early in the morning.
''He-hello?'' you ask slightly dumbfounded why he would be calling you at this time in the morning. ''Ahh Miss Y/L/N I was just checking to see if you feel better'' he starts but you can already feel he is after something as this seems like a small excuse to call you. ''Yes I am, thank you'' you quickly reply, waiting for his actual reason behind calling you this early.
''Listen, the contracts with Kineros Robotics are finished, I need you to go and collect them with Ms. Venable this morning'' he instructs and you can already hear him typing away on his computer. ''Of course'' you reply before he says a few 'Thank yous' and ending the call.
Closing your eyes, you try and take a deep breath and remind yourself that everything will be okay and to keep the raging storm of emotions at bay but somehow the thought of seeing Wilhemina again terrifies you and makes your stomach flip but at the same time there are so many 'What ifs' and unanswered questions, still filling your brain and causing you to overthink.
Still feeling sleepy and also exhausted from the night before, you decide to have a quick shower, before getting ready and adjusting your usual work attire in the mirror, styling your hair, and applying makeup. The only difference today is that no amount of makeup could cover or hide the bags under your eyes and how exhausted you look.
Taking a deep breath and grabbing your things, as well as a coffee, you leave your apartment and head over to Kineros Robotics. Somehow, even though it seemed like on the entire car ride there you didn't even pay attention to anything, the day before you, you somehow did as you find yourself in the familiar parking lot, a while later.
As you walk in, heading straight towards the familiar corridor, walking past the front desk, you don't realize at first, that the entire building is dead quiet, your own thoughts too loud and only as you pass a clock on the wall, you realize it's seven thirty am and probably the reason for the silence and no one there yet.
Part of yourself feels relieved as you hear some clicking on a computer keyboard and without being able to see her yet, you know Wilhemina is already there. You aren't actually that surprised because the redhead used to be the first one in the office every morning, at your old firm where you worked together, always the first to open up and last to close up, really focussed on her work and taking it seriously.
As she hears footsteps approach, Wilhemina looks up confused about who would already be here at this time because she is always the first one and her idiot bosses wouldn't be awake at this time. ''Y/N?'' she asks confused as she sees you enter, stopping whatever she is working on, and for a moment you just look at her unable to say a word.
She scans each one of your features and by your posture and facial expression she knows you are not okay, she used to hold you whenever you weren't feeling well or after a nightmare and she can read you better than anyone else.
''What- what are you doing here this early?'' she asks confused and you can tell she hesitated at first before asking and you notice her voice still sounds dominant but it sounds slightly softer at the same time.
Finally clearing your throat and approaching her desk, ignoring your sweaty palms or heart beating faster, you compose yourself and manage to form a reply.
''I'm here to pick up the files and contracts for Mr. Odell'' you say, still feeling intimidated by her burning gaze. It seems as if she is staring straight into your soul, reading and knowing every single detail about you like the sleepless nights, nightmares, or how she still haunts you every single day.
''Very well'' she replies and nods and she retrieves her cane, gripping hard around the snake handle, before walking over to a cabinet and getting out some folders with the needed documents. As she has to slightly bend down, you notice the same expression on her face, even though you can only see half of it. Wilhemina always hid her pains from you, even back then, she would reassure and promise and pull the most adorable faces, promising she is okay but you knew deep down by the furrow in her eyebrow and how quickly her eyes shut close, whenever she had to move her back the slightest, she was lying.
It takes her moments to gather the needed documents and you find a little smile playing on your lips because despite what happened to the woman you used to know so well, it makes you feel calm that deep down she is still the same organized and hard-working Wilhemina she always had been. It feels like a glimpse of hope, a little ray of sunshine in the middle of a storm.
However, your smile quickly fades as Wilhemina turns around, her gaze lingering on you as she walks towards you. Her expression is stern and cold, no emotion visible and your little glimpse of hope vanishing again. Slowly the realization sinks in that no matter what might have happened, there will be no way to ever get back to how things used to be and this doesn't just cause your throat to go dry, hands shaking uncontrollably again but also for your heart to beat out of your chest, the feeling of anxiety slightly creeping it's ugly way back into your brain.
The woman standing across you, that used to be so much more to you than a stranger, scans your features, noticing the bags under your eyes and the sadness radiating off you. She can look behind the facade, the forced and polite smile but the Wilhemina currently standing in front of you doesn't know how to reach you anymore, as deep down she knows that she lost you long ago and along with you, the only source of light in her life, ever.
Snapping out of it, Wilhemina hands you the files not once averting your gaze and it feels like you might just die from the force her brown observing eyes have on you. As she hands you the files, you reach for it, trying to hide the shaking of your hands but the redhead instantly notices, her gaze finally leaving your eyes.
''Thank you, M-'' you start to say out of a habit, as you were so used to calling her that nickname before but you stop yourself just in time. You give her a polite smile that she doesn't return, her face completely lacking any emotions or giving you any indication on how she is feeling, either about this interaction or seeing you again in general.
Slowly, you turn back around, the same polite smile on your face and a little nod as a form of saying goodbye to her, not expecting to see her again in the near future, as Mr. Odell's assistant would be back tomorrow and you wouldn't be working on this anymore either way. As soon as you turn around and are about to head to the exit, back through the same corridor, your smile fades, face almost crumpling, the pain of seeing the woman you love change into this person completely lacking emotions and reminding you more of a robot than a human, which technically is fitting, considering the company you are currently in and the work they do.
Just as you are about to leave, you suddenly feel a hand reach for your wrist. You flinch momentarily and freeze, as you feel the material of the cold gloves on your skin. Instantly you are reminded of her touch lingering on your skin before when the two of you were still in each other's arms and lives. Her hands had never felt this strange and cold before, as they used to have the sole purpose of making you feel warm and loved, either by holding you or making you feel beautiful in other ways.
Finally, you snap your eyes open as a wave of emotions hit you, part of you wants to cry, part of you is angry about the way she left, heartbroken even being in the same room and just deeply concerned and worried about the redhead standing behind you and holding onto you still as if she was scared if she let go, she would lose you all over again.
''Y/N wait'' Wilhemina whispers and as you turn around, now inches apart, you don't notice the way her voice went soft and she let go of her grip after noticing you flinched a bit at the sensation. The two of you instantly lock eyes and it feels like so much is being said, simply through the locking of your eyes.
Despite the redhead trying to hide her true emotions, internally reminding herself who she is and who she has to be, to keep her perfect and cold appearance intact, she crumbles underneath the bottling up emotions and the way it made her feel to see you again. You notice the inner battle she is fighting, her eyes turning a darker and lighter shape with each thought inside Wilhemina. It feels as if the soft Mina is trying to fight her way out of this darker version, wanting to say so many things to you, but at the same time fighting with everything she has left inside her.
As you stand there frozen, just watching the woman standing across from you, your own emotions take over as tears prickle in your eyes and your heart loudly begins thumping in your chest. You look at the redhead, part of you begging her to speak up, to finally let those bottled up emotions go as you can practically feel them radiating off her. For a split second you have hope, as her mouth parts and you expect something, an explanation, an apology or something that could soothe the many questions and aching in your heart, that started with the day she walked out of your shared apartment.
However, the battle inside Wilhemina is too strong, the darker side having ruled her little kingdom of emotions too long that in result, soft Wilhemina, the woman you used to know and fell in love with, has no chance of winning or voicing herself. You sigh in defeat, as you realize there is no chance to get even a simple explanation out of Wilhemina. ''It's okay'' you mumble, after giving her enough time to speak and realizing that it's too late.
Your ex-girlfriend watches, as you turn your back to her again, this time not stopping in your tracks and this time you being the one to walk out of her workplace and life. She stands there frozen, unable to move for a while as the soft Mina is utterly heartbroken as a small part is still inside fighting somewhere. It takes her several minutes to snap out of her state after hearing her two bosses walk in with silly faces, clearly wanting something from the redhead again and needing her attention. She snaps out of it, turning around and walking towards her desk, the same cold expression on her face as if nothing had happened.
A while later, you sit by your desk after handing your boss the documents and unavoidably handing him the key to your connection to Wilhemina, as from tomorrow on Mr. Odell's assistant will be working on the Kineros Robotics case again, like she was supposed to. You try and focus on the tasks ahead but avert your gaze from your computer, looking out the window and watching as the clouds keep the sun from shining and blessing the city with sunlight. Your mind can't help but wander to Wilhemina and the question what had happened to her in the first place to change into the person you had met again yesterday.
Feeling a little shiver run down your spine, you try and ignore the thoughts, accepting fate and believing that fate always has a plan in the end. ''Maybe we aren't meant to be after all'' you think to yourself, before focussing your attention on your tasks and work for the day again, unaware that in a similar, much more purple office, on the other side of the city Wilhemina is sitting by her desk, her mind occupied by you.

Today was a good day. I am not as bone achingly exhausted. I am just mildly tired. So I am pretty pleased about that. Though I am still really excited to go to sleep.
I slept alright last night. I woke up and was just like if bleh. I stretched for a few minutes. And went to get ready for the day.
I liked my outfit. And my face. But my hair is still really bothering me. It is feeling really healthy and that's nice but it's just a little. Flat. And I only feel pretty when it's pulled up. Frustrating for sure. I can't wait for it to cool down so I can wear hats. Hats will make me feel a little better. I also just want my hair to be longer. I did trim it at work yesterday but mostly just my bangs. I don't want to take anything off the bottom. I got all the splits cut off already. So now we just focus on making it healthy and good.
James left for work and I took a few minutes to get myself together. My first stop was to go to the restaurant store. I was nervous but I would get there at 8am and it was neat! I liked looking around at stuff and seeing the large containers of things that are normally in smaller portions.
The guy at the desk was very helpful and I found the coffee percolator and paid for that and headed out. The nice cashier lady carried it outside for me but that wasn't necessary, it wasn't heavy, just a bit awkward in size.
It was a longer drive to work. But I would still beat everyone there getting there before 9.
I went to the lodge first to set up the coffee thing. I collected the old broken one and took it to the recycling shed.a s the. Spent some time talking to Bonnie and petting buddy the dog. It was a nice little way to start the day.
I would have a really productive day. But it was also full of different parts which I liked a lot.
When Heather got in she let me know it was Elizabeth's birthday! Happy birthday Elizabeth! And because it was her birthday we were going to go have breakfast at the filling station together. I was excited. I have never worked at a job where we could just stop and go have breakfast as a group?? That's so cool.
I wasn't even particularly hungry but it was fine. Once Elizabeth got there we would all get in Heather's car (well her daughter Sophie's car, Heather got a flat tire yesterday) and went to the cafe.
I've heard lots of good things from people at camp about the filling station. I was surprised that it was Mexican! I thought it was just a cafe. But I love Mexican and absolutely want to go back.
Me and Heather got savory bagels and Elizabeth got a sausage burrito. They also got lattes and I got an iced Mexican hot chocolate. Which was spicy and lovely. I don't often get to get special drinks because they are usually coffee so this was exciting.
We sat and talked and it was fun. I liked telling stories and hearing theirs. We talked work as well to make it a business expense. It was a beautiful day.
We would stop at the post office before going back to camp. I told them stories about when I worked for the insurance company and how much I loved it but how stressful it was. And how me leaving there lead me to meeting James. Everything happens for a reason.
I would get a lot done when we got back to camp. I worked on some more research. I worked on my lessons. It took a while but I got all my reference images on every project. All 46 pages of them. And added all the supplies for each. Eventually I would start adding Amazon links but I wouldn't get a lot of that done.
But I wasn't just doing one thing. When I would feel myself getting bored I went and did something else.
I would take my two packages up to the art building. It was my little caboodle boxes and now I'm going to be so organized with my supplies. I'm really pleased. I need to get more feathers but I think on Tuesday I'm going to investigate the Yukon basement to see if I can find any there first. And once I was done organizing I started going through my books to decide what ones might be useful for summer. I had to take out any that said they are only read in the winter and put those in a box labeled "winter stories". I also took out any that were written like a grandparent telling a story to a child. Didn't need that meta. Just direct stories please.
I would eventually wander over to homestead. Which I feel like is pretty embarrassing right now. Just a mess. I came up whole a whole list of things to be done to make it not a nonsense area. And would try to collect up some stuff that was left on the ground or in the pens. But it's to much for me to tackle on my own.
So I went back to the office and made a list and started pricing out my projects. When Heather came back from helping clean the pool with Elizabeth I talked to her about it and she thinks getting the boy scouts to help with this is the best course of action and she made me feel really good about my work. That I'm handling the programing and that while they have so much going on they are really happy to have me handling this stuff and following through. That made me feel really good. Really useful.
I would print all the journals I'll need for next week. And after I folded all 60 of those (while listening to a video on YouTube) I took a little break.
I would use my coupon and a sale at Ulta to get two of my lotions for the price of less then one. So that was exciting. I decided to order it for pick up. Something I've never done before. And it stressed me out when after the 2 hours (it was supposed to take) I wasn't sure it was going to be ready to be picked up. Jess said I should just go and it would be fine.
So as the day wound down, after I had made a few walks around camp, went and hung up the blanket I got for decoration in the pueblo, made sure the art building was locked, I headed out.
I went to Ulta in Towson. And they were wildly busy. But as I was waiting in line to ask I got the email that my order was ready so I was directed to the pick up table and they apologized for the delay but I was just happy to have my lotions.
I drove across the street to target next. Where I smelled all the deodorants. I got a jumpsuit for layering, which is something I have been on the lookout for so I was very excited about it. And I found some period underwear. Because on Wednesday I'm getting my IUD out. And I don't know what is going to happen but I am assuming I'll get my period for the first time since 2017. And I got two pairs because the sign said I'll get a $5 gift card.
But apparently I needed the app and the line was really long and once I was directed to guest services the guy was like. Oh you need the app. And I was like it's fine then don't worry about it. And he just quietly got me the gift card and when I told him he was so sweet he got the cutest smile. It's so nice when people are nice.
I got home at 530 and James was at the front door waiting for me. Which made me feel so happy. Because I was kind of emotionally exhausted. And needed to be frustrated and vent for a little. But they made me feel better.
I put on my new jumpsuit and they told me I looked great in it. I can't wait to wear it with sweaters.
James and me would hang up our Halloween decorations and I am thrilled. I love the paper bats on the mantle best. I am also just excited to have the Halloween stuffies out again.
James would walk to get us pizza. I took a shower while they were gone. I got a little upset and just watched videos on the couch and didn't feel my best.
Eating dinner helped a little. Having a little cry helped. I would pack up the bears for the market tomorrow. Talked to Jess about the highlights of our days. And eventually got in bed.
Which is where I am now. I'm going to go brush my teeth soon and try to just go to sleep because I have gotten more tired as I've been writing this. I have a very long day tomorrow. Market and then a break and then a wedding st the museum. I hope to get a little nap in between and that will help me. I hope it's a fun day.
Sleep good everyone. I hope you are taking csre of yourself. Goodnight!
