Yandere Ghost, König, and Soap with a gn darling who has Autism
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: yandere behavior and a bit ooc character; I'm a believer for König having ADHD.
A/N: this was a request but someone deactivated which deleted their ask. Happy Autism awareness month! I'm all extremely proud of you <3
I did my research on Autism but I'm not fully aware of the diagnosis(?). If I offended anyone, that's not what I meant, and please send an ask if I did anything incorrectly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Simon “Ghost” Riley:
It’s likely that he already knew or saw the signs and decided to research it; which, led him to read a fair amount about autism to connect with you.
However, he’s not a physiatrist and he’s not dumb enough to assume, which leads him to keep it private or not bring it up before you do. Mental and physical health is personal. He won’t dig into your diagnosis unless he views it as harmful. However, once you do feel ready to tell him, he will be incredibly supportive and try his best to learn about your triggers.
When it comes to things that overwhelm you, he’s pretty good at tracking those things. Certain textures and noises are written down and taken very seriously by him.
Don’t like the feeling of jeans? He will make sure not to wear them around you or buy you some.
Hate the sound of cardboard or styrofoam? Simon makes sure not to unbox packages near you or let you be in sight of it.
Protective over a certain object? He will make sure to never use it, and if he does need to, he will ask and won’t get upset if you say no. Consent is taken seriously with this man.
Speaking of consent, He’s pretty clear with it — he won’t touch you. He’s pretty adamant about making sure you don’t feel like a nuisance or try to ‘force’ you to do things with him, including touching. It’s your body, it has rules and he’s gonna respect those. Boundaries are there for a reason.
After a while with you, he’s learned your body language and a few things to communicate with you without spoken words. The two of you have secret signals, certain pulled-up fingers or touches mean certain words; do you need company or alone time? Want to have space or be cuddled with him? Is the room too bright or too loud? Whatever you need, he’ll help out as much as he can.
A plus side with Simon is that he speaks pretty clearly; no unnecessary, soft metaphors with him. He means whatever he says, you don’t have to worry about missing something as he speaks directly with anyone, including you. If he does make a mistake or offend you, he’s more willing to acknowledge his mistake and learn from it. Don’t be afraid to approach him, he can handle it.
If you enjoy parallel play, Simon is someone who enjoys it just as much. He doesn’t mind sitting in the same room with you, just enjoying each other’s presence without talking or engaging with each other and doing your own thing. He feels comfort by being in the same room, simply reading a book, watching TV, or doing work as you do the same. You don’t always need conversation to be comfortable. He respects that of you.
Having little to no eye contact, being blunt/or forward, and getting burnt out in public places easily don’t bother him either. Simon understands that eye contact doesn’t equal attention. He’s also a fan of not big places, he’s a homebody and prefers to be in his safe area with you.
Simon is one of those people who prefers when people speak their minds, and say what they mean. Just get straight to the point, don’t hint at things other than expect others to know the meaning. It’s boring — plus, he gets to understand things easier.
While Simon is incredibly good at being supportive and respecting your boundaries, he sometimes doesn’t understand/or grasp the concept of emotional dysregulation or hyper-empathy.
He doesn’t know what to do if you get upset over something ‘small’. But, with learning like a good husband, he will ask you questions based on what will help you: do you need comfort? If so, how would you like it? Words or physical touch? Or just being in the same room so you can feel at least his presence?
He actually enjoys having certain patterns with you. He likes order and sticking to it, so whenever the two of you go grocery shopping or out in public, he will follow right behind you like a guard dog as he shuffles around people in the aisles; making sure nobody touches you or gets in your way; he will help guide you, a hand on your hip as he follows you around.
Gives you his full attention whenever you’re talking about something you are very passionate about — whatever it’s about, he hums along and asks questions to know more. He likes learning new things from you and may share some things of his own! He enjoys seeing you happy about the hobbies you are joyful about.
When the world becomes too loud for you and a bunch is going around you, Simon will pull you somewhere quieter, allowing you to have a moment by yourself to recollect; helping you with breathing patterns, or asking you questions to help you in some way.
Ghost is deadly serious about protecting you. If anyone gives you weird looks or dares to say anything, he will look at them until they get scared and walk away — he’s not afraid to throw fists if they dare approach you.
Stimming? Simon is happy that you’re expressing yourself, as long as you’re not physically hurting yourself, he won’t mind you doing your own thing. He enjoys it rather.
He doesn't mind if you are fiddling with his fingers, repeatedly pulling at your clothing, or tapping your fingers at the dinner table as the two of you eat; rarely do these habits annoy him. He actually encourages these stims.
Tumblr media
König:
Extremely supportive and understanding. He will make sure to learn about it, as well as ask you frequent questions on what things can/will trigger you. You’re his spouse, a person he’s admired and loved, he’s willing to do anything to help you, including with your troubles.
König can relate to some of your daily struggles. While he knows that he’s not autistic, he does have ADHD and anxiety which causes some things to clash with yours: hyperfixations, certain textures that make your skin crawl, stimming, and fidgeting, or rejection sensitivity. There’s a whole lot more to go on with, but to an extent, König can understand you while he’s prone to help you.
If you ever feel overwhelmed, even in the place of a restaurant or going shopping, and need to leave, he will utmost support you and never let you apologize.
Shopping can happen another day, he can go down there and finish it later; you are always his top priority. Eating at a restaurant is for fun, and you are not ruining it. Today wasn’t your day, tomorrow is another day that we can try.
Is super respectful, even with touching you and approaching your space. He’s always been a gentle giant, no matter how many years the two of you have been together since kidnapping.
If you don’t want to be touched, he won’t be affected by it and will respect you. Boundaries are always heard, loud and clear with this man.
With König, he’s shy — sometimes his body language can be too stiff and he can’t say the right words without stuttering or making a mess of himself. However, he will try to learn to be more straightforward with you, especially with being needy or wanting kisses.
Stimming around him is completely normal, as he does it. He’s fine with you swinging his arms around when holding hands, singing along to a song that he hasn’t heard before, or continuously pacing in the house. Whatever you feel comfortable doing, please do it; much like Ghost, he encourages your stimming.
They’re simply a part of you, which he adores like the others. As long as you’re not physically hurting yourself, he won’t engage and leave you alone with your own thing.
If you’re hyper-fixated with certain things, whether that’s about the 18th century, bugs and reptiles, or rocks/minerals, König will go out of his way to surprise you with things you enjoy.
He enjoys it whenever you decide to tell him random hobbies or facts throughout the day. He actually looks forward to knowing things because of you! Especially if it’s about animals or different countries, he gets infested and may ask more about it, which leads to date nights on researching different topics with each other!
Patterns and cleanliness can be incredibly important for some people. While König will try his best to be as clean as he can, sometimes he forgets. He’s not the messiest giant. But he’s also not the cleanest perfectionist.
With that being said, König will do specific types of jobs in the home to help you: going as far as folding clothes, vacuuming, cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom, or doing the dishes. Whatever you feel uncomfortable doing, leave it up to him!
However, if the two of you are outside, König is more than protective of you. As much as he can understand you can handle yourself, he will not stand people making fun of you or simply staring at you. König will, and can approach people with a look of pure evil; he’s not gonna stand around and make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable without doing something about it.
König, like any husband, will be incredibly patient with you. If you are shopping, he never hurries you whenever you are looking at the shelves of candles, even if you choose the same one every time.
Tumblr media
Johnny “Soap” MacTavish:
He’s pretty nonchalant about the whole thing; he doesn’t really mind. Not to say that he will ignore your needs and issues, but he sees you as you. Your autism doesn’t make him think differently of you, you are still his spouse; he loves you regardless.
With the help of the internet, asking your family/or friends, and yourself, he will learn ways to comfort you and engage things with you without offending or triggering you. Whatever you need, he will get you in a few minutes: fizzy drinks, water, your comfort blanket and plushie, or comfort food.
Any activity you engage in, Soap tries to be with you as you are interested in it. Do you like reading books? He will collect as much as he can and take some time off to enjoy quiet time with you.
Love collecting miniature accessories to decorate your office? Soap will find some rare pieces and give you some.
Love popping bubble wrap? He will collect it as he gets packages in the mail, going as far as to buy you some online. At best, you'll have a few months worth.
Soap is big on encouraging your stimming in front of him and not masking. While he does understand that neurodivergent people mask to fit in society, he wants you to be you. He doesn’t want you to hide away, even if you think it’s ‘dumb’ or ‘bizarre’.
He hates how society has shaped people who are autistic as ‘insufferable’ or ‘emotionless’ because they are not. You are you. You just have extra steps that need to be seen and heard.
While Soap is incredibly flirty and loves joking around, he will try his best to be more straightforward and ask things directly rather than hint at things — he may make some mistakes but he will learn from them, trying his best to tell you things instead of whispering things into your ear.
Communication and body language can be hard. With Soap, he will try to find ways to communicate with you without his body language and sometimes not using his direct words.
With a certain time, he will learn when you’re stressed and immediately help you through anxiety/or a panic attack, sometimes distracting you with random questions and conversations, asking about your hobbies and the reason you like them.
Like the others, he doesn’t mind the stimming but rather enjoys seeing you get all happy and giddy about certain topics. As long as you’re not hurting yourself in any way, he won’t stop you.
Wherever you feel comfortable doing, whether that’s playing with fidget toys, humming, or tracing the lines on the palm of his hands, it won’t bother him at all.
Certain things can be triggering, which Soap will try his best to comfort.
That certain light that’s on? He’ll give you some headphones and his jacket, rubbing your back to help you calm down.
Don’t like sitting down? He’ll try to find you some space so you can stand by yourself, or get you a fidget cube to play with.
People staring at you? Soap will throw them a glare. If that doesn’t work, he may approach them ‘nicely’ about it.
Speaking of glaring, if anyone looks at you for too long, he’s not gonna be nice about it; throwing a bunch of glares before getting up from his seat, and asking the person what their deal is. This goes along the lines if someone approaches you, yet again, won’t go the nice line. He will get in their face and tell them to fuck off before something worse happens.
Being oversensitive isn’t a bad thing, nor is being under-responsiveness. It’s just the way your brain is hooked up and there’s nothing wrong with being you.
Sometimes crying over a movie character that died is a good thing — expressing your guilty pleasure over them, even if they were the villain.
Or maybe not noticing someone is being rude until you have a conversation with Johnny later that day, in which, he talks it out with you; asking if you want suggestions or need support.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, Johnny is here to support you, even if you snap at him or decide to get so overwhelmed that you need a power nap together.

How should you spend this time of peace?
This pick a card reading is intended to give some advice and insight on how you can spend the peaceful/mundane parts of your life at this time. For those little parts of the day that are quiet and you just feel like doing something.
Please keep in mind that this is a general reading so if something doesn't resonate/feel right- leave it! Feel free to pick another pile or another pick a card. Trust your intuition always.
Please pick a pile (1-6)(left to right)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PILE ONE:
Card; King of wands. You should spend your time staying on top of your game! Work on what you love, you have the ability for great change right now. There's something that you're very passionate about and you should dediate a lot of time to it right now. It will bring you great fulfilment! confirmations; filming, movies, greenlight, cars, social media.
PILE TWO:
Card; Ace of wands reversed. Pile two you may have the tendency to frequently start new hobbies or have many ideas that you never end completing. Use this time to tie up loose ends. Finish your projects or just cut off those ideas/goals that aren't serving you anymore. So that you can work on what really matters to you. Don't spend too much time overthinking about this, it'll be surprisingly simple once you start. confirmation; travel, music, lgbtq+, magic.
PILE THREE:
Cards; The Fool reversed, The Empress. Listen to yourself and your instincts. There's a pretty important part of you that you've been repressing. Let yourself shine and do things that make you feel like a god/goddess. Maybe you have a weird fashion sense, or a "creepy" hobby. Do whatever you want, be sensual and passionate! Go out and have fun! But be careful of being reckless/naive. confirmations; cottagecore, surprises, time limit, blocks.
PILE FOUR:
Card; Page of wands reversed. It's time to bring something to a close. You've been working on something as of late but right now you're getting really frustrated. I feel like whatever it is has a way of bleeding into every aspect of your life, so much so that you are constantly worried and feeling anxious. Just try to see it through till the end, take a break and then look at it again if you need to. It can't always be perfect, but it will never be complete if you keep overthinking and overanalysing. You may have just jumped right in without knowing what you were getting into, but try to see it through till the end! Other people's opinions may really make or break you right now, but you have to look at it objectively and trust in that inspiration you had in the beggining. confirmations; paperwork, deadline, skies, boss or superiors, lanscapes.
PILE FIVE:
Card; Queen of swords reversed, Queen of Pentacles. These are the people pleasers of the group! You're being encouraged to be more egotistical. It may feel selfish to prioritise yourself, but at the end of the day you'll just feel exhausted from performing for other people and putting their needs first. Take care of yourself! And PUT YOURSELF FIRST! Especially if it is something career/business related, operate from a priority of the best possible outcome for you. This may be time to splurge a little on yourself, which may look reckless or illogical but just do it! Practice physical self care, buy yourself flowers, spend time in nature. Calming activitites like that will help you build confidence. confirmations; birds, flowers and plants, gold jewelry, money, fur.
PILE SIX:
Card; Six of cups reversed, Four of wands. Spend your time moving towards action. Its a wonderful time of expansion for you, you're taking inspiration from past experiences and combining them with the security and stability you already have to expand your horizons. This feels peaceful, you may be going on vacation soon and are excited to relax. I'm getting that you're very excited for this summer, it feels different than the others so far and you have a lot planned. Good, do whatever you feel called to do and make sure to try out a lot of new things, food and fruit in specific. There may a new love interest coming into your life soon. confirmation; sunshine, beaches, palm trees, upwards, food, cinnamon, beautiful smile.
That's it! Thanks for participating in this pick a card!

A/N: It's night time and I feel like shit so fuck it we ball also not me recycling a text post I literally just made! Awesome
Premise: Anxious!reader headcanons because I need them rn
Warnings: Mentions of flashbacks and self harm. Nothing graphic. It's safe otherwise!
Tumblr media
Buys a fidget ring for both you (to wear when you're not together) and them (to wear when you're together and need comfort). TEEHEE
Let's you hold their hand while using their fidget ring.
Always makes sure beforehand that anything you do together will not trigger your anxiety under any circumstances.
If they know something is going to trigger your anxiety they avoid it with you at all costs, unless you want to step out of your comfort zone in which they'll be with you every step of the way.
If someone else triggers your anxiety they'll personally deal with them. Usually isn't a person that does physical altercations but will not hesitate to knock someone out bop someone on the head if they're triggering you.
Will act as your "mouth piece" so they'll talk on your behalf if you're not able to do so.
Does the thumb thing.
If you need to cry just let them know and they'll hug you so close that it hurts.
Reminds you that they're here for you, that they aren't leaving you and that they'll always love you no matter what.
If you have flashbacks they'll do their best to bring you back to the present, but if they can't for whatever reason they'll bring you to a calm safe space until it's over.
Buys you a weighted plushie of your favorite animal so you can bring it with you wherever you go.
If you have a comfort object they will always be sure to bring it with them. Will protect it with their life, regardless of what it is!
If you take anxiety meds they have a pill case decorated with stickers they also carry around so you can take it when necessary.
If you're prone to self harm they make sure you're not alone whatsoever, even if that means hopping on the transatlantic monorail from Cairo at three in the morning because you woke up screaming and crying.
They always make sure there's nothing you can use to hurt yourself with before leaving just in case. It's not that they don't trust you, they just can't stand the thought of you even thinking about hurting yourself.
Doesn't mind if you call them super early in the morning because they know you need someone to talk to. Even if you fall back asleep they won't hang up the phone just in case.
If you struggle with self care they make a little reward sheet and every time you take care of yourself a certain amount of times they give you a reward (usually ice cream)!
If you're really, really struggling then they'll help you take care of yourself until you're able to do it on your own again. They won't ever let you go too long without proper self care.
Will not, under any circumstances, let themself be separated from you during a panic attack unless you strictly need to be alone, in which case they will always be nearby.
Whenever they have to leave they'll always be sure to call and text every day, but they'll also keep an "emergency kit" of things to do when you need it. It's full of things like stickers, stim toys, a couple of plushies, a soft blanket and handwritten notes you can read when you need them. ♡
Whenever they come back from traveling/studying/field work you're always the first person they visit, just to make sure you're okay. Always brings you back a little gift from wherever they go.
Loves and cherishes you despite your anxiety and always makes sure to remind you that you're not a burden to them in any way!

having super heavy thoughts about rin, nagi, and sae with a sanrio obsessed s/o (bc i love sanrio and i love them ofc)
i whole heartedly believe rin would pretend to be annoyed. like no doubt in my mind. however, this mf is so incredibly down bad he physically can’t help but indulge in your little obsession. like he can be walking to the train station on his way to practice and he’ll very briefly notice a lil pochacco plush he just knows you would gush over. and he tells himself to keep walking but then decides that maybe he has time to get u a cute gift as leverage over u incase u try something that annoys him (not rlly. hes just in love with you and just wants a rin justified reason) anyway he’d be in there forever just contemplating if he should just buy you every little sanrio thing in that damn store. like hes actually dead set on it until he’s snapped out of it because he gets a text from isagi, asking where he is (because they have practice) and is asking if he’s sick or something, because rin is never late to practice and he always texts if he’s not gonna be there. rin eventually just buys only the pochacco plush and ‘discreetly’ sends it to ur doorstep so that u won’t know it was from him (ofc u know it was him but u won’t bring it up)
nagi would absolutely fuel your obsession. like come on. hes bound to stop at a few crane machines when he’s at the arcade. he can’t help but win (with ease btw) every cute sanrio object in the machine to bring to ur home. i also believe that he’d buy sanrio themed games just to play with you. like yeah, ofc he’d much rather be playing a game where he can shoot someones head off and win, but he thinks playing beside you - who holds the cutest smile and lets out the cutest laughs while playing - for a few hours would be okay once in a while. if he can indulge in your obsession, he’d like it if the two of you can indulge in his obsession together.
now with sae, he’d definitely pretend to be annoyed just like rin. however, since sae is the absolute most annoying mf ever (i love him sm) he’s also be absolutely insufferable when it came to ur cutesy lil sanrio obsession. i believe that sae would take you out into the city with him to go shopping just bc he knows you’ll whine and cry about going into a shop with the cutest keroppi plush you’ve ever seen in the window display. and despite him telling you no, he can’t help but allow you to drag him into the store with what he thinks is the cutest pout on your lips (hes so in love with you btw) and ofc he offers to buy u the whole store (did i mention he’s in love with u?) but because u feel bad about spending his money (u didn’t tbh) u politely decline and happily walk home with him by your side, his hand in yours. anyway y’all get home and he helps u place ur new plushie on the net nailed to the wall - which he also bought u. and after he does that, ur already shoving ur phone in his face, showing him the newest sanrio x build a bear collab and he can’t help but tease you. “are you sure you need more, babe? didn’t i just buy you a new frog toy?” and with the blush on your cheeks and the pout on your lips, you quietly defend that keroppi isn’t just a frog, making him laugh and tease you even more. but despite his teasing, he’s awake after you’ve already gone to sleep and buying you every little stuffed animal from the collab you had gushed about earlier before pressing a sweet kiss to your forehead.

I've made a bunch of poppy designs, but the Faqqua iris is the more official national flower of Palestine, I figured I should do something with it too. You can find the above design here.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS are for my Palestinian best friend, to take care of his loved ones. He will donate any his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. He's hoping to donate most of it if possible, he always gives everything he can to those in need, which is really impressive because he has never had much for himself in his life. He's always the first person to buy food for the homeless people outside the cafe, or send a paycheck home to help his relatives, or bring food and supplies to a labor action. I currently have his nice coat because he put it on me when I was cold and told me to keep it (I'm going to wash it and give it back anyway, haha). Outside of a few sentimental possessions most of his stuff ends up being given away sooner or later to someone he thinks needs it more.
He felt weird about accepting this charity at first, I had to convince him to hold onto the money from this fundraiser for his own loved ones (some of whom are definitely in a really precarious position) rather than give it all away to charities immediately. He's so generous, even to his own detriment sometimes. You guys, I'm feeling really emotional today, I love him so fucking much. God I hope things get better soon.
Anyway, this design is kinda small so mostly for stickers but available on some other things too. Here are some examples:

You can find my full shop here. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Here's a small sample of some of my other work:

Also to my fellow grad students, our department is currently working on making an easier path for grads to bow out of research they have a moral objection to, in addition to putting together a statement on Palestine. If you have a lot of colleagues on your side and particularly if you're in a program like engineering, physics, astronomy or applied math (with a lot of military applications) you should try to see where your funding is coming from and support grads in divesting from ethically questionable research. I won't say too much about what we're doing because I don't want to risk doxing my friend, but here are some examples of statements from grads at the Goldman School of Public Policy and the UCSC Astronomy Department. We (STEM students in particular) are the next generation of minds behind the military-industrial complex; let's make participation in the war machine unpopular.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in my fundraiser so far!

Zhongli — You're the only one he will ever love. Even if it hurts. Even if it makes him feel like he wants to rip his heart out every time.
CW: angst, major character death, reincarnation
Tumblr media
"Excuse me for being rude, but I feel inclined to ask; Do you know me?"
You didn't know what you were doing, disturbing this fine gentleman who only wished to go about his day. You thought of backing out, already about to step back when his eyes met yours. Much to your surprise, the man didn't even seem the least bit upset at the disturbance. His look was gentle—fond, even—a start of a smile turning the edges of his lips upward.
"Mayhaps," His deep voice rang, and though his words are unsure, the familiarity in his bright amber eyes says otherwise. "May I have the pleasure of confirming your name?"
Just like that, you gave the man your name. You watch as he repeatedly says it, the soft smile etched on his lips still not leaving his face as he allows your name to roll off his tongue.
"Yes, I do know you," he said, an amused lilt in his voice making you cringe inwardly—he's not taking you seriously at all. Maybe he just found the prospect of a stranger suddenly approaching him and asking such a strange question amusing which is why he went along with it.
You were about to apologize and allow him to go on his merry way once again but suddenly spoke the moment you opened your mouth.
"But you may not remember me anymore. In that case, allow me to reintroduce myself." He bring his hand in front of you, clad in black gloves, palms open as if waiting for you to put yours in his—inviting you to a handshake, perhaps?
His fingers immediately wrapped around your hand that moment your hand came in contact with his, the warmth of his hand contrasting the cold of the ring on his thumb. His thumb caresses your skin, before his lips met your bare hand.
"I go by Zhongli these days,"
Just like that, this man—Zhongli—suddenly became a constant in your everyday life, and spending every day with the man lead you to the conclusion that he is strange.
Yes, strange in the normal sense of he seems to act like he's the creator of mora, buying so many things without looking at the price tag that a single day of strolling through the markets of Liyue with him is enough to make you go bankrupt, but also strange for you in a sense that he feels so familiar, yet so different.
You've never met someone with the same exact physical features as his, and yet, his bright amber eyes have always felt so familiar.
You've never heard of the name Zhongli before, and yet, you already knew that he hates seafood and that he likes Osmanthus Wine.
Similarly, you were certain that you've never divulged much information to the man but he somehow knew what your favorite dish was, remembered your allergies, and always has a favorite item of yours in hand whenever you meet him every morning.
It was strange, but it never really bothered you even though the rational part of you knew you should be bothered about it. You thought of confronting him about this strangeness time and time again, but the moment his amber eyes meet yours, the moment you see the smile on his lips as he fondly greets you a good morning, his warmth immediately envelops your doubts, your emotional heart taking over your rational mind as you return his smile with a greeting of your own.
The moment your rationality vanishes as soon as the name Zhongli pops into your mind is the moment you realized you had fallen for the strange gentleman.
Deep in your heart, you knew there was no other way out of this. He had to know of your affections, else, your shared friendship may continue to be awkward as you space out more and more often as he goes on his rambles. If he rejects you, then you can start the process of moving on, but if the Gods in Celestia have blessed you and the object of your affections return your feelings, then maybe your relationship can become something more.
And there, where you first met, you shakingly conveyed your feelings to the man who stood there, confused at both your words and nervousness.
"You seem nervous and unsure..." the consultant spoke, a frown tugging at his lips, "Why?"
"I..." you start, clenching your fists at your sides to will yourself to speak, "I don't know how you'll respond, so-"
He's even more confused now.
"Of course, I feel the same." he confirms, "I was under the impression that I was already courting you, was I not?"
"You... were?" now you're the one who's confused.
"Yes. I've been courting you for quite a while,"
"Since when?"
"Since the day we met."
Tears of relief started flooding your face, and before he could even ask if yo were alright, you had already wrapped your arms around his neck to pull him to yourself. In the same place where you first stood as you asked if he knew you, in the sweltering afternoon, the suns rays hitting you and the heat becoming bearable because of the slight breeze as the busy people continue to mind their own business in the ever busy Liyue harbor; you shared your first kiss with Zhongli.
Everyday was like a dream after that, everything felt so natural, felt so right. It was like being with Zhongli—looking after him, sharing your day with one another, walking around Liyue with his hand on your lower back, dates where he actually remembers to bring his wallet to—has been something you have been doing your whole life. Everything just falls into place, as if he was a missing puzzle you have been searching for your whole life.
He just fits.
If you didn't believe in the prospect of soulmates before, then you definitely do now.
If this were a dream, you never wanted to wake up.
Unfortunately, everything comes to an end; Zhongli—or rather, Morax, himself, already knew that.
He feels his body trembling, his heart dropping to his stomach, body frozen in place. His amber eyes glued to the sight that welcomed him in the adventurer's guild, one that lead him to close eyes for a while, picturing the warmth of your smile that you gave him this afternoon, the sun' rays hitting you just right that made you look ethereal in his eyes, the soothing sound of your voice reassuring him that you won't be long, your words echoing in his head.
"I'll be back before you even finished blinking!"
A blink, you said? A blink.. So, once he opens his eyes again, you'll be there, safe and sound, correct?
He opens his eyes again, and harsh reality hit him. It was cruel, absolutely cruel, which made him question whatever he did for the Celestia to hate him this much. It was too soon, too soon that even he hadn't expected it...
From your past lives, you usually had at least half a century to live, he usually had a few decades to spend with you. He had a few decades to spend in your arms, decades that he always makes the most out of before you were taken from him once again in various ways; at times they were cruel, but most times where it was your old age that makes you wither—and those Morax prefers than most.
But this lifetime was cruel.
He was only given only a year before the Celestia ripped you away from his arms.
His steps were slow and hesitant, unlike his usual confident strides, his hands reaching out to touch yours, bringing your palm to his lips like he always does. The crimson liquid stains his face, but he couldn't bring it in himself to care. Your skin against his lips is now devoid of the warmth you usually radiate, the warmth that brings him comfort, the warmth that was enough to soften even his heart made of solid rock.
Time and time again you were taken away from him, and he would have thought he would be used to it by now, but the pain feels just like the first time he had to hold your lifeless body in his arms. He knew how it will end, he always knew, but the moment you find your way to him once again, he always finds himself not caring about the pain it will bring him.
He'll let you break his heart over and over and over again.
"Mr. Zhongli...." the familiar voice of his boss rings out, even her voice was trembling.
Memories of you joking around with Hu Tao in the funeral parlor suddenly flooded his thoughts that caused him to speak to Hu Tao unknowingly.
"I will have an employee and a friend discount, will I not?"
He'll wait for you again, no matter how long it takes.
Because you're his beloved. The only one he will ever love. Even if it hurts, even if it makes him feel like he wants to rip his heart out every time.
Before he knew it, another millennia had passed...
"Excuse me for being rude, but I feel inclined to ask," A familiar voice rang, making the former Lord of Geo turn to face a familiar face bearing the same set of familiar irises. "Do you know me?"
The former God watches as they cringe, suddenly turning pale as they thought of backing out, they opened their mouth to speak but he was quick to beat them before a sound could come from their mouth.
"Mayhaps," The current vessel of Morax responds, a smile tugging at the edges of his lips as this scene plays out again the same way it always had for the past thousands of years every time he meets the reincarnation of his beloved.
"May I have the pleasure of confirming your name?"

Sometimes something you hear a random person say in a museum sticks to you so much you buy a magnet and never forget it.
Let me set the stage
I spontaneously went to an art museum, and it had an exhibition on impressionism. It showcased works from classic impressionist masters mixed in with nordic impressionists.
I walk up to what is obviously the crown jewel of this exhibition. It has been given it's own wall, with good spot lighting and a big junk of text beside it. I orientate myself so that I can take in this painting.
The painting is Les glaçons (Floating ice) by Claude Monet.
Tumblr media
A pair of youngsters walk up to the painting. I think they are somewhere between 16-20. They had cool outfits, emo-ish style. They stop to look at the painting. Then one says to the other in finnish:
"This is fine/fancy but in my opinion meaningless." (Tää on hieno, mutta musta merkityksetön)
I, a person who has visited Monet's house in France, stand there, baffled by this. I'm white guy blinking at this person. In my mind I say: "Bro, that's Monet!!"
I kept examining the painting for solid five minutes, thinking about what that person had said. I was conflicted because while I disagreed hard, because a scenery painting in my opinion can have a fuckton of meaning, I could see where they are coming from, and in some sense, I saw a little spark of truth in that nihilist take. More of my thoughts are behind the read more link.
In order to never forget this moment (and perhaps out of some sort of spite) I bought a magnet with the painting on it.
Now whenever I see it on my fridge I think "fancy but meaningless...."
The thing is, while I don't think thats honestly might not always be the best way to look at art, and especially older paintings, there is some truth to those words. It's a very nihilistic take, but I find myself unable to completely disregard it. We have beautiful things in the world where their only meaning is to be pretty. They don't have any deep meaning given to them. Beauty is nothing but an obscure subjective experience we project into things. A fancy decorated hand mirror is indeed "fancy but meaningless". It's just a pretty object. And in some sense, that applies to art as well.
But then again, couldn't the meaning be that these beautiful things bring us joy, and turn the mundane into something that sparks happiness in us? Is that not meaningful in itself? Is the experience of beauty meaningless when it can awake so many emotions in us? Could it be that the purpose of this piece of art isn't to convey a deep message about society, but to capture a passing moment of natural beauty into something that will last long after the moment is gone? Or perhaps for the artist to show us what he he sees in nature, how the colors play, how there are no lines how light plays on the water's surface? In the text it's said that Monet had to paint this in freezing weather, and it was a huge labour, undoubtedly also physically. But he withstood the cold for art, to get his vision and to capture the moment. Saying the painting is meaningless is like completely disregarding the actual hard labour and years of practice that was needed in order to produce this particular piece.
It it not about being a physical manifestation of the artist's work, and technical skills and mastery of depicting light and color? Fancy, and therefore meaningful.

Reiner and Bertholdt getting distracted by everything while they shop, turning everything over like "oh, this is nice😲" Then you got Annie who's a very grab-it-and-go gal with anything that isn't sweets.
Hahaha This is so legitimate.
I feel like Annie isn't even someone who needs to make a physical list. She just has the few things in mind she needs, grabs them and checks out. I feel like she isn't the biggest fan of crowds either, like she can handle lots of people around, but in a perfect world she wouldn't have to.
She's really only an impulse shopper when it comes to sweets. Like she has to expressly avoid passing the bakery section in stores or actual bakeries and a patisseries whenever she's out or she's gonna end up with a giant bag full of sweets she's obligated to consume in that same day. Annie has soooo much self discipline, but put something sweet before her and that discipline may as well be cotton candy in a rainstorm.
I feel like Bertito is a big list person. If he has capacity, he probably also has a running inventory of his pantry and fridge. Mainly I think this cause I headcanon him as a big baker. So he's always needing to be aware of how much, flour, eggs, sugar, etc. he has on hand.
He has his list, double checks it before heading to the stores--even if nothing is ever amiss--and gets exactly what he needs. But! He doesn't mind strolling around non food specific shops, without a plan. Had someone mention a hc of him being an avid thrift shopper and I fully support this. Him and Pieck are great thrifters. And cause his trips often include her, he's cultivated a very chill and "no-rush let's peruse everything and just enjoy the moment" attitude, from Pieck. He has a similar attitude anyway, so it works.
I feel like if Annie or Porco were to join them on these endeavors--Annie would simply get bored and leave to do her own thing and Pock would stick around but be an obnoxious complainy baby until Pieck encourages him to go do something else. lmao ((even if they aren't dating, they are always hella close in my mind and he sticks to her like a lil baby duck))
Then we have Reiner. Sometimes he makes a list! But he's very much a, I'm just gonna go up and down every isle in case I forgot something, type person. Regardless if he made a list or not. ((am I projecting? mind'ya business 😗))
When it comes to other types of stores, he also likes to casually peruse. Picking up objects that pique his interest. He's not much of an impulse buyer, I think no matter the verse, he's not prone to buying lots of material things. But he does like to pick out things for others! Especially his mom or Gabi. He does so for his friends and coworkers too. ((he likes the idea of them associating positive feelings with the object and thus positive thoughts of him))
To round things out--I think Annie is also fairly minimal when it comes to buying "unnecessary" things. Like she would be someone to literally have one bowl, spoon and mug in her apartment. Not even a fork. She can manage just with her spoon and knife.
Bertie and Porco have a fair collection of, things. But nothing that'd be considered "clutter" I guess. They both are prone to collecting sentimental items and displaying them on shelves or such. I believe Bertito also is a collector of instruments and I wanna say records too.
Porco is partial to posters and probably lil tchotchkes that he's been given by family or friends. (Many from Pieck!)
Speaking of, Pieck --being the artiste and free spirit I hc her to be-- is always picking up lil things that bring her joy or she believes will bring someone else joy. Her dishware and silverware are all eclectic mismatch pieces. Each with its own story probably. As a ceramic and 3D artist, she's made a lot of her own decor but also loves quirky, eccentric things others have made. She'll go out to the store to grab toilet paper and some other essentials and come back home without the toilet paper but a few of the essentials and a giant light fixture or something!

Hello! Can I please get a matchup for genshin, blush blush and hsr?
My pronouns vary, as I am genderfluid, but I mostly go with they/them to make things easier on others. I'm mainly into men, and am a Leo and an INFP.
I'm 5'9" and am basically a VERY pale androgynous twig with birth marks here and there. My hair is rather short and boyish right now, although I'm trying to grow it out a little. It's naturally brown, but I like to color it unnatural colors from time to time. My eyes are blue. The way I dress can vary greatly. My body language seems to be a mix of timid awkward girl and confident dude. I’m almost always smiling or look like I’m confused/spacing out.
I'm socially awkward, perpetually confused, and feel a special connection with loneliness. I can be pretty funny in improv situations. I tend to let others dominate conversations, although if they don’t fill the silence I’ll get anxious and try to fill it myself. When I’m in a group of people I tend to get a little overwhelmed. It’s difficult for me to feel connected with others and I worry even my closest friends will leave me if I slip up somehow. It’s extremely rare for me to get angry, to the point where people I’ve known since I was a kid think I’m incapable of it.
I like rocks, geology, mythical creatures, and fictional characters. I dislike storms, rain, loud noises, and people who are always putting others down.
My hobbies mostly include daydreaming (fantasizing about experiencing mutual love), reading fanfics, playing video games (Genshin mainly) and sometimes watching anime. I also write fics occasionally and draw comics. I can sing too, but I’m nervous about doing it for others.
My love language is physical touch.
I have a lot of comfort objects (fidget toys, key chains, rings, etc) that are extremely important to me and that I always keep with me. I’ll sometimes even bring plushies in the car with me when I leave the house. I’m rather possessive of these items.
Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! I hope you like your matchups!
In Genshin Impact, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Zhongli is the person to go to regarding your interest in rocks! Considering he's the geo archon, he's the expert in this field so any questions you have, he can answer.
He'd love spending an afternoon curled up with you on the couch, warm drinks within reach and reading or watching you draw.
Zhongli loves watching you draw. He's seen so much destruction in his life that it's nice watching someone create something for a change.
Always keeps an eye out for new fidget toys and plushies when he's out. Not that he can buy them anyway but he'll remember them next time you're both out together so he can point them out to you.
Would love listening to you sing but if you're nervous, he's happy to sing with you. He's got a nice voice and he knows it can help having someone to sing with; it hides mistakes well.
Will keep you company during storms. If it helps, he's more than happy to talk, read to you, or sing. Whatever helps to take your mind off the storm.
In Blush Blush, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Nimh totally gets where you're coming from with the worry about people leaving you if you slip up. He's been there before. But he knows a few tips and tricks for helping you to lessen that fear.
Will always reassure you that, no matter what, he'll always be by your side.
I see Nimh as someone who's love language is also physical touch so you're a good match in that regard as well. He's more than happy to dish out as many hugs as you want, just please return the gesture when he needs some love an affection as well.
Enjoys playing video games with you. His favourites are cozy games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
Nimh loves your plushies. He'll respect your boundaries with them so if you don't want him to touch them, he wont. But if you let him, he'll treat them very carefully and give each one a gentle hug and head pat.
Similarly to Zhongli, whenever he's out, he'll keep an eye out for new plushies and fidget toys. He knows what sort of things you like and is more than happy to get you a present every now and then.
In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...
Tumblr media
I think Dan Heng has his own collection of fidget toys. He's happy to share with you since he usually gets too absorbed in his record keeping to use them.
Thinks your plushies are cute but won't ask to touch them. They're not really his thing. He likes them more because you do and because they remind him of you.
Another one who will keep you company during storms. He'll put on your favourited music to drown out the sound of the storm and will sit with you as long as you want him to.
Not the best with physical touch but he's willing to learn. I see him as someone who doesn't easily get comfortable with people but he's more open with you.
If you want a hug, he'll oblige but you'll have to tell him first. He's not great at picking up on people's emotions but if you can let him know when you want affection, whether verbally or non-verbally, he's more than happy to give you a warm hug.
Dan Heng would enjoy drawing with you. He's not great but he's also not bad at drawing so he'd like to practice. He also enjoys watching your drawing come together.
If you give him any drawings, he'll keep them somewhere safe so he'll always have a reminder of you.

diary 1 — my relationship with the gym
Tumblr media
i subscribed to this gym two months ago. since then, the first weeks i went normally, but after some days i started to feel more and more lazy to go so i started to skip some days, to the point that i took a two weeks (roughly) hiatus. yesterday i really convinced myself to go, and i feel kinda proud of me for doing it. but i still need to do a lot more, to keep going and improve more aspects of my life.
the thing is, i really think i struggle with going because i feel really insecure about my body. kinda dumb, isn’t it? i’m going to a place to improve my self image, and i don’t go because i feel bad about my image. more specifically, i am really skinny, with long and thin limbs. i have this sensation of everyone watching and judging me constantly, when in reality is something that my head just made up.
now, i really wanna be a better version of myself. not for someone else, not for the rest to feel more pleased at my body or whatever, i do this for myself and only myself. it’s not only about the physical changes but about my health, cause it’s something i truly felt that i was feeling better physically, with less back pain and other stuff.
to improve i’m gonna write some tips i’d give to someone in my situation, to put into words all of my thoughs and convince more myself to follow my own tips. if someone reads this and find this helpful feel free to let me know, share your thoughts or whatever :)
what i’ll do to improve
don’t feel bad about myself. if i don’t feel good and i wanna skip a day, i’ll do it with no regrets. but only one, and i’ll go the next day. it’s ok to have a bad day, but i won’t let my thoughts to control me for more than only that day. dedicate it to do what you like or just feel bad: do whatever you need, crying, listening to your favourite sad playlists or call a friend to rant with them. but when you wake up for the next day do it with the mentality of leaving those negative thoughts in the past day. new day, new mindset. it’s something really general, not just applicable in this context, but i felt like it was a nice point to include.
be more conscious about my diet. i don’t cook for myself and i’m thankful that in my house we have a healthy diet, but there’s still left things i want like suplements to help myself with my objectives. i need to stop or reduce the amount of junk food although, cause i find myself most of the time buying candies or snacks when i go out with friends. if you’re in the same situation as me be conscious about it, buying healthier alternatives. if you want candies just get a small and rational amount, or go for other things like dried fruits.
don’t obsess over your food or feel guilty. i feel it’s important this point after the one i just talked about. i don’t wanna talk much more about it cause it would deviate to other topics, but please, take small steps and always think about this as something just for your health. bad habits take a long proccess to get rid of them, and if one day you eat junk food, don’t feel guilty about it. it’s not a crime, and this is not a competition to get skinnier or more fit. it’s just for your own good.
don’t listen or think about what the others say. if you find yourself in the same situation as me, you’ll probably have a hard time feeling watched, judged or whatever. just, don’t listen to your thoughts. they won’t bring anything positive to you. when you go running, to a gym or whatever you may do for working out, only focus in yourself. if you really think someone is being judgmental over you is their problem, not yours. that person had a starting point too, they just didn’t walk over the gym’s door with a perfect ideal fitness body. but most of the time, it’s just your thoughts. in reality no one is here to judge others but to work on themselves and minding their own business.
listen to the music that makes you feel more energized, don’t push yourself more than you should and drink water constantly. typical tips for working out, but it’s always good a little reminder.
pamper yourself once you finish. personally, i don’t like taking showers at the gym, and i luckily live really close to it so i just shower at home. but if you don’t mind it you could take a quick one at the gym to get rid of the sweat and odors, and once you get home take a nice warm shower, take your time under the water. massage yourself, use your favourite products to wash your body and take your time in front of the mirror, applying your favourite facial masks and taking care of your skin.
this is everything i could come up with at the moment. i’m not an expert over anything, it’s just what i figured out that could work for myself and my own good. just read a lot of blogs and tips over healthy habits and mix up the ones that you could apply or would work better for you, and always remind that this is for you. thank you for reading :)

The Metaphysical Implications of This Giant 1.5kg Thing of Peanut Butter Pretzels From Costco (Bonus Issue #5)
Tumblr media
Don’t be fooled like I was, you cannot buy happiness for $13.99, and the 1.5 kilograms of Kirkland Signature™ peanut butter pretzels (bretzels) that you bought for $13.99 will definitely NOT bring you happiness. No mere object has ever caused me as much distress as this God forsaken thing of pretzels (bretzels) has just by being in my house. To add incest to injury, I really wanted to keep the huge container it came in. I thought maybe it would make a good container for sugar or flour, perhaps oats? NOPE. By the time all 1.5 kilograms of this monstrous thing of pretzels (bretzels) was defeated, I had already forgotten all about my plan. Into the recycling it went, and with it - my last chance at redemption.
You know when there’s no snacks in the house and you feel like you wish there were some snacks in the house? Turns out, this is only a superficial urge and not reflective of your true desires. It’s not unlike the fleeting happiness of a rollercoaster, or busting a fat one. You might think, “I wish I could bust a fat one all the time” but if you were to just keep busting fat ones all day long (and we’ve all tried to do this at one point or another) you would quickly realize this was not what you really wanted, and also it would start to hurt a bit. 
So already we can establish that there is a big difference between urges and desires, and that desires are not always immediately obvious. For some reason, not busting a fat one and not eating snacks leads to more happiness than busting fat ones and eating snacks. Something to think about, but I won’t be thinking tonight, no, thinking is also filth. Just like not eating is conducive to a higher state of physical purity than eating, not thinking is conducive to a higher metaphysical state of purity than thinking. But thoughts affect food, and food affects thoughts. As Aristotle said, the body and the soul are as inseparable as the wax and the seal. So to have any success in attaining purity a holistic approach to mind, body, and soul is needed. One has to be like a monk, but only kind of. You could call it becoming monk-like or perhaps monk-y... Monky. MONKYYYYYY.

Buy Upholstery Fabric & Sofa Fabric Online in India
Are you currently seated? If the answer is a YES, there are great chances that it is on some upholstered furniture. Most of our hours while working as well as sleeping are spent on these comfortable furnishings, which range from dining chairs to sofas. 
Tumblr media
More goes into upholstery than just picking the proper cloth. From working artistically to produce and design luxury sofa fabric and furniture of the highest calibre, to cutting expenses and enhancing our services is our main objective here at AARTEX. The process of making furniture by physically packing seats and other items into frames with padding, cushions, foam, or webbing and then covering it along with upholstery fabric is known as upholstery. This kind of work is quite specialised and requires an expert.
Tumblr media
Although it's simple to get upholstery fabric, choosing the best fabric for particular furniture can sometimes be a matter of guesswork. Upholstery fabric can indeed be made of a single fibre or a combination of many. Everything relies on the style and design you choose for your upholstery. Many upholstery stores sell their own fabric while others need you to bring your own fabrics. One can easily buy yardage fabric at a neighbourhood fabric shop or even online at Etsy. Depending on the sort of piece and its location, upholstered furniture is used to varied degrees. No matter where upholstery is utilised in any home, it's critical that the fabric withstands normal wear and tear. For instance, sofas, recliners, and ottomans in guestrooms or more formal settings that only see modest use will be good with less robust upholstery fabric.
Some pinpoints to keep in mind while purchasing the Upholstery Fabric!
While purchasing upholstery fabric one should always remember to buy natural fibres, and ensure that neither chemicals nor fire retardants were used during its production. Also it's important to inquire about the fabric that wherever it has been made fairly tight chemical regulations have been followed. Also the person can easily approach to their upholsterer to let you know whether a particular fabric is appropriate for a particular use, such as whether a fabric one adores might not work for a chair.
AARTEX FURNISHINGS
Aartex’s ulterior motive is to beautify each and every home. Aartex are among the top producers of furniture in India, and they have their own weaving, knitting, embroidery, sofa fabric and digital printing facilities to produce unique and contemporary designs for all of our esteemed customers.

I need a bit of a distraction right now so I’ll write a bit about the importance of keeping your head cool in emergencies.
You see, my mom is a panicky type, like, full blown jumping-to-conclusions assuming-the-worst, shouting “they’re dead“ type. My brother is pretty much the same, with the added trouble of not being able to hear/follow directives unless they’re very clear and repeated more than once (he was never diagnosed for any neurodivergence but I have my suspicions he may be in the autism spectrum or have ADHD, but that’s another discussion).
This means, in a crisis, you can’t really count on them being useful, unless you’re ready to deal with that with top-tier calm. Usually, that’s my dad’s job, he’s the one who manages to keep his cool in the house. Unless the emergency involves him, which means he can’t give effective directives due to a lack of objectivity.
Me? I have anxiety. Which usually means I am physically unable to be calm, I always think the worst, worry a lot and so on. But I do it in my mind. Which means 1) I am able to ponder on the possibilities and consequences and 2) I am used to disguise and somewhat control my panic for moderate timespans (afterwards I collapse, I’ll get to that later).
Anyway, panic is always your enemy. Jumping to conclusions and not keeping your head cool can lead to disasters even in daily life.
Which brings me to today. Actually, not even an hour ago (and the reason I need to calm down).
I was in my room when I hear my brother, somehow panicked, ask-shouting to know if dad is on the terrace. Mind you, my dad who was not home yet, to my knowledge. He heard my dad call, didn’t hear exactly what he said and jumped to the conclusion my dad must be on the terrace and needed a hand with something up there.
He was more than half wrong, but wihout listening and just saying us “dad must be up I’ll go see what is it“ he ran upstairs.
My mom, who knew dad couldn’t be upstairs because she has been near the entrance door and would have heard him go up, went to check the road to see if the motorbike was back.
And here the real Panic started. The first thing she did was shout my dad’s name, the immediate next was “he’s dead“ (you see, I wasn’t exaggerating, I almost had an heart attack at that). Cue her running downstairs, without telling me anything, without keys and, I assumed, without a clue of what may have actually happened or what to do.
Now, I know three things: 1) we live in a road with scarce visibility (lots of almost-incidents and I lost count of how many cats run over) and our driveaway has bad pavement, 2) my dad was out with the motorbike; 3) my brother heard him call.
Conclusion, my dad must have fallen from the bike, most likely with enough energy and wits to call for my brother, who, by sheer dumb luck today, had his window open and no music on. (and now I wonder why the nosy neigbour who is always at her stupid balcony is never there when something happens, she could have alerted us, damn it!)
In my mind I was deadly afraid of a bloody scene, but, here’s the trick, this allowed me to spare two seconds to gather my wits and grab my phone and the house keys, call for my brother that dad was down and not up and reach out.
Now, the thing was that the wheel had slipped on a stone, dad fell down with the motorbike on him and his leg was stuck underneath. In the time my mother panicked, asked frantic questions without listening to answers and generally did nothing useful, I had figured out the situation was not life or death (my dad was conscious and lucid), shut down the bike and I would have picked it up too, if my dad had not insisted I waited for my brother, who was finally getting to the right place.
Cue figure out what to do next. First thing first, get the bike up and safely away from my dad, then find out how he felt, maybe take some weight from him (backpack and helmet first. Shit, I have to buy him a new helmet!) and decide on it.
In all of this my mom is still in full panic-mode, shaking like a leaf, two steps from collapsing herself, which would have not being useful at all, while my brother, appropriately directed, manages to be a lot more useful overall with helping dad stand and stay up.
The shoulder has clearly something wrong, it really sticks out in a weird way, my dad starts refusing to see a doctor because he probably doesn’t realize how bad it looks. Needs water and to sit down, and perhaps it would be a good idea to call at the very least our physiotherapist.
We manage to get dad home because he needs the bathroom and to sit, mom finally had cleared her head a bit and goes get changed to accompany dad to the hospital, but she’s still in enough panic she’s frantic and blabbers and can’t find stuff and I have to leave my brother with my dad and calm her down.
And now they (dad, mom, bro) are at the hospital (where no one can enter but the patient, due to the still up Covid restrictions), while I almost collapsed myself once they got out the door.
Act first, panic later is the best strategy, but damn! it takes a toll on you. I’m still shaking, my legs are trembling and I received no news so far. Hence this essay-delirium-retelling or whatever.
