#it has: Weekly Challenges
Text
It's been what, two years? And I can still safely say that the Fabulous App was the best investment I ever made in terms of my mental health.
Once again, to stress, I do not spend money on ANYTHING for my phone. If the app isn't free, it doesn't exist. I would rather risk the virus infested depths of davy jone's putlocker than spend a dollar on a youtube movie rental
But Fabulous? Worth. Every. Penny.
#not only does it cultivate and encourage good habits#it has: Weekly Challenges#Exercises on Deck#Soothing Motivational recordings for the Morning and Evening#A thriving support group#Meditation#FUCKING BEDTIME STORIES#Best app Ever I cannot wait to see wat they come up with next#I don't have to lift a finger or stress about Anything bc for every suggestion they have they also have the downloadable thingy#like if u wanna do Yoga they have a bunch of Yoga routines complete with Timer and Voice overs?#For Exercise in General they have a Beginner's challenge where it times you and u can follow through#if u wanna fall asleep earlier they have a wind down routine and soothing noise#my health has improved immensely without me even trying

I assigned reading homework for the weekend and was hit by this wave of irritation with the implicit lying that goes on where they act like they’ll read the homework but they never actually do and so I called them on it and started teasing them and of course they laughed but then I was like “you know my secret dream is that you go home and you walk in the door and someone wants to do something fun with you or you get a text but you hold up your hand and say ‘no no, I have to read ten pages of Beowulf’ and then you sit down and do it” and they scream-laughed at the idea but I like to think it at least presented it to their minds as a possibility
#I ended up telling 3 of my classes because I thought it was so funny and so did they#But then it was sweet because my seniors (a handful of them at least) were like ‘but we do!!’#and then it just kickstarted this real discussion where I told them honestly that my job would radically change if everyone did the reading#like. It would challenge me so much more we could go so much further#anyway I know that mostly it doesn’t work. it being my passion for it and my desire for them to read#but sometimes I’m like if it could light a couple of fires! or help some kids even think of doing the reading as a real choice they HAVE#i also tell them that it’s a skill like any other and they can get better at it.#idk. So much of my job is also just telling them why they should. why they CAN. why their lives will be better if they do#there’s a senior girl who started listening to the audiobook every night when we were reading Emma and she started taking notes#and she’s started to flourish!!! Like you can tell she enjoys it and she’s so much happier with her time#and you guys I just love to see it so. much.#Anyway sorry for all the text posts it’s Saturday and therefore time for weekly processing#this has been#4 text posts in a row with Maria#teaching tag

I want to love eureka so bad like I love bozja but man. man……
#eureka suffers under the it takes too damn long to do anything so the plot has no momentum to it#plus the plot of pagos is just fetch quests to these areas and like. two interesting cutscenes#and pyros isn’t much better#hydatos wasn’t bad mostly bc we were overleveled so we got through the quests#it is an interesting story but man. man it’s so stifled by level requirements#which gets to be ASS when going from 59-60 is 50 million xp#and the only way to get meaningful xp gains is through hours of farming NM or weekly challenge log#which is again. weekly#so you’re going weeks without any meaningful plot updates#unless you’re the sort to do grind NM’s which kudos to you—stronger than me#owen talks

Weekly Oneshot Challenge - week 9
Title: you will find a way
Rating: T (canon-typical violence and blood)
Fandom: Naruto
Word count: 1277
Summary: When everything goes to hell defending Tazuna, Sakura reaches deeper than she ever has before. [part of the mokuton sakura rewrite]
-
Sakura might have been proud of herself with how quickly she realized that something was wrong… if she hadn’t immediately felt a thick, heavy knot of fear settle in her stomach. She drew a kunai and fell back to where Tazuna was standing before the construction workers had even gotten past their bewilderment at the sudden wall of mist before them. “Get off the bridge,” Sakura managed to croak out past the lump in her throat. The workers nearest to her turned to look, bemused at getting ordered around by the little girl with pink hair. “Go!”
“Get off the bridge.” At Kakashi-sensei’s harsh demand, they began dropping their tools and sprinting away. Sakura looked toward her sensei for- she wasn’t sure what she wanted. Comfort? Assurance? She wasn’t going to get it. Kakashi’s attention was completely taken by the massive sword that he just managed to block with his own crossed kunai.
“Sensei!”
“Stay with Tazuna!” Kakashi-sensei sounded strained, like the effort to hold Zabuza back was so immense he could barely speak. “Remember the mission!”
Zabuza laughed, even as Sakura set her stance defensively. “Don’t worry, little girl. I won’t keep your sensei long.”
It took everything Sakura had to stop staring at Zabuza in fear, but she tore her eyes away to look for her teammates. Kakashi-sensei had Zabuza handled (she hoped). Naruto was nowhere to be seen. Sasuke was-
Sasuke was locked in combat with that strange masked ninja they’d seen earlier, at the first encounter with Zabuza. So they were working together. The masked ninja was incredibly fast, and Sasuke was somehow keeping pace. Sakura noted, even past the sick worried feeling in her stomach, that maybe Sasuke had earned top student spot after all.
Her eyes flicked from fight to fight, trying to keep an eye on the most obvious threats. Tazuna seemed content to stand behind her. Her single little kunai seemed so useless in the face of these enemies. Her hand still stung from her training accident. And her knees felt weak from the weight of the malicious killing intent that seemed to fill the air even worse than the fog.
Kakashi-sensei… Sasuke… somehow, the two of them were evenly matched with someone like the Demon of the Mist and his partner. Sakura even had a little surge of hope when Sasuke sent the masked ninja flying from a vicious kick. But the ninja stood back up, seemingly uncaring about the blood trickling from below their mask, and instead flew through hand signs so fast Sakura couldn’t even see their fingers. And the dome of mirrors that surrounded Sasuke only became more worrying when the masked ninja melted into one and began darting around Sasuke even faster than before.
Sakura was very, very grateful when Naruto showed up.
Even if he did somehow end up trapped inside the mirrors with Sasuke, he was a welcome helping hand. Sakura watched Sasuke try to melt the mirrors- they were made of ice so it wasn’t a bad thought, but of course a kekkei genkai wouldn’t be so beholden to the rules of physics. And what else could such a powerful jutsu be? Sakura wasn’t totally sure it was a kekkei genkai, but it was likely. That kind of power would certainly suit a Demon’s partner. Sakura tried not to pay too much attention to the fight, though Kakashi-sensei and Zabuza even seemed to be watching it fairly intently, only occasionally taking swipes at each other in their own fight.
Naruto took his usual course of bombarding the mirrors with tons of clones. After a moment of that technique, two things happened at once. One, Kakashi-sensei reached up to uncover his sharingan. Two, Zabuza flew through some hand signs and summoned even more fog.
Sakura reflexively drew closer to Tazuna even without Kakashi-sensei’s warning. With such low visibility, a threat could come from anywhere. Sakura really only had enough chakra for two clones (and how exactly did Naruto summon so many? What kind of chakra coils did he have?) so she summoned them both and surrounded Tazuna as best she could by herself. “Don’t worry,” she murmured. “Stay behind me and I’ll protect you.”
It was awful, only being able to hear the battles nearby and not see what was happening. It put Sakura on edge.
That edge, thankfully, saved Tazuna’s life as Zabuza was suddenly there. He swiped down with his almost comically giant sword and Sakura’s kunai-holding arm nearly buckled under the pressure. She could walk up trees and on water, but she still didn’t have as much muscle as a full-grown man. Maybe I don’t need muscle, Sakura thought. She could use chakra to hold herself horizontally. Could she use chakra to hold back a blade? There wasn’t time for doubt. Sakura cycled chakra through the muscles in her arms, her legs- anywhere that would bolster her push back against Zabuza. A clone popped as she used her chakra freely. There was no point in reserving it if she was dead, after all.
“Oh?” Was all she heard from Zabuza before Kakashi-sensei was there to take his attention again.
Sakura was tired, and her legs trembled, and she felt weak from lack of chakra. But she still stood, peeking back at Tazuna to make sure he’d survived the brief onslaught.
Sakura heard a scream, feral and heartwrenching, and the fog cleared to show her a nightmare.
Sasuke, full of senbon on the ground, bloody and motionless. Naruto, tears streaming freely down his face, chakra pouring from him as he turned on the masked ninja. Kakashi-sensei, frozen and staring at Sasuke even as Zabuza swooped in for the kill.
Something snapped inside her. Sakura moved without thinking, without planning. Her remaining clone exploded in a puff of smoke as she fell to her knees and slapped her hands onto the ground. Wood exploded upwards into a wall between Kakashi-sensei and Zabuza, catching the blade of Zabuza’s sword just in time. A second wooden wall- smaller, curved like a half dome- sprung up to defend Naruto and Sasuke’s unmoving form. Sakura trembled, pushing up until she was kneeling in front of Tazuna, her kunai forgotten in the dirt. I did that.
What happened next was hazy to Sakura, pushed to the limits of her chakra and her nerves. Naruto did… something, hitting the masked ninja so hard that they were blasted out of their mirrors and their mask cracked right off their face. Kakashi-sensei pulled out some kind of scroll and lunged at Zabuza with somehow even more terrifying killer intent. Dogs leapt right out of the ground and pinned Zabuza in place- summons, she thought through her daze; sensei has ninja summons. Lightning crackled around sensei’s hand as he charged Zabuza. And then suddenly the unmasked ninja wasn’t next to Naruto. They were impaled on Kakashi-sensei’s arm, just in front of Zabuza himself.
Zabuza thanked his partner- Haku… their name was Haku- but as a tool. Which Naruto exploded at, shouting about Zabuza being Haku’s dream and how trash Zabuza was and… well, Sakura couldn’t follow. She could feel herself trying to pass out from the chakra exhaustion, but she struggled to stay awake and guard Tazuna. She did see Kakashi-sensei carefully lower Haku’s body, closing their eyes one last time. Like a slideshow in a dark room, Gato showed up. Zabuza turned on him after Naruto’s words. Sakura thought maybe she had already passed out and began dreaming as Zabuza laid down next to Haku, tears rolling down his cheeks as he died.
The last thing she remembered was Kakashi-sensei’s hand ruffling her hair before she succumbed to unconsciousness.

SFWC Blast from the Past!
As with the regular challenge, post your story and submit the link to SFWC; we’ll reblog it to our followers. The main prompt, posted Friday, still includes two featured previous prompts.
Happy writing!
This week’s Blast from the Past prompt:
Life has no Reset Button — Your character makes decisions every day, from minor ones, like what to wear, to vital important ones that change lives. Whether to capture or kill a prisoner. To stay with a partner or break up. To follow an order or disobey. They do the best they can under pressure and with limited time. What choices do they regret? Which ones might they do differently, now that they’ve had time to reflect? Would they make the same choice, knowing the consequences? Are they even more convinced they made the right decision?
Have a suggestion for a prompt? Submit it here!

Me: why no comment
#im not sure what i was expecting but at some point i'm probably gonna end up desperate for attention and just post whatever#how is that different from what i do now? it isn't! because this happens whenever i get tired of refreshing the inbox! :D#(this isn't passive-aggressive btw. im not saying anybody has to comment on me or i feel sad. i want it to be merit-based.)#maybe i should join a whump challenge again. maybe i should finish that weird wip and start posting that weekly. maybe i should write-#maybe i should go the fuck to sleep

it’s very important to me how much elspeth’s worldview is challenged by the people she meets after the massacre in...p much every verse. she comes from a background that’s been arguably sheltered and invariably privileged and her ignorance is bound to show at times. she means well and works hard to meet criticism and contrary viewpoints with compassion so she can understand the other person’s perspective as well as possible before she decides to take any action (which in instances of oppression, she will always side with the oppressed).
#it's important to me that elspeth grows less naive thru the blight#because she's willing to engage with these challenging ideas#but also more compassionate#as opposed to being ''hardened''#because she has the space to be compassionate so she takes it#and uses it to make herself a better advocate when she can be#aka after the blight writing furiously to fergus abt highever's elves#attending weekly tea times with anora for the 1st yr until she can#get her to listen to shianni directly#if she's not already ofc#in shared warden verses this shows heavily in her supporting#her elf/mage/dwarf counterparts#deferring to their judgement#where their own people are concerned#etc#she just Tries#and she's bound to fall short sometimes but she'll keep Trying#headcanon. ( who i will be when i wake after enduring )

As someone who didn't complete the first drizzle season catalog and has to get some gear, I find the new catalog kinda good. But why not just have the clothes on the stores??? It just overall looks lazy ngl
#this season has very good stuff but it feels like there should be more since it is the anniversary#like the splatfest and big run is already a celebration but it feels like there should be a little more u know?#maybe a new mode? making challenges a weekly thing or a weekend thing?#rambling no way

The Best News of Last Month
Sorry for being not active this month as I had some health problems. I'll start posting weekly now :) Meanwhile here's some good from last month
1. Widow donates $1 billion to medical school, giving free tuition forever
Ruth Gottesman surprised by her late husband's $1 billion in Berkshire stock, decides to donate it in full to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York City's poorest borough. The donation is intended to cover students' tuition indefinitely, ensuring access to medical education for generations.
A video capturing students' emotional reactions to the news, cheering and crying, circulated after the announcement, highlighting the profound impact of the donation on the medical school community.
2. Electric school buses outperform diesel in extreme cold
In Colorado's West Grand School District, electric school buses outperformed their diesel counterparts, particularly in the bitterly cold temperatures of towns like Kremmling, where morning temperatures can drop below -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite common concerns about reduced range in extreme weather, the electric buses maintained their battery charge even in these frigid conditions, providing reliable transportation for students.
This success has been welcomed by the school district, as diesel vehicles also face challenges in starting in Colorado's harsh winter weather.
3. Christian Bale unveils plans to build 12 foster homes in California
Christian Bale has led a tour round the new village in California where he plans to build 12 foster homes, as well as two studio flats to help children transition into independent living, and a 7,000 sq ft community centre.
The actor has spearheaded the building of a unique complex of facilities with the aim of keeping siblings in the foster care system together, and ideally under the same roof.
4. Average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome has increased from 25 years in 1983 to 60 years today
Today the average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome is approximately 60 years.
As recently as 1983, the average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome was 25 years. The dramatic increase to 60 years is largely due to the end of the inhumane practice of institutionalizing people with Down syndrome.
5. Greece legalises same-sex marriage
Greece has become the first Christian Orthodox-majority country to legalise same-sex marriage. Same-sex couples will now also be legally allowed to adopt children after Thursday's 176-76 vote in parliament.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the new law would "boldly abolish a serious inequality".
6. Massachusetts police K9 tracks scent for over 2 miles to find missing 12-year-old in freezing cold
A Massachusetts police K9 followed her nose to help find a 12-year-old who went missing in frigid temperatures last week, tracking the child’s scent for over two miles, authorities said.
K9 Biza, a female German shepherd, was called on to help after officers learned the child left their home at around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and was last seen in the Pakachoag Hill area of Auburn, the Auburn Police Department said.
7. Good News for the Socially Anxious: People Like You a Lot More Than You Think They Do, New Research Confirms
The "Lake Wobegon effect" or "illusory superiority" phenomenon highlights people's tendency to overestimate their abilities, but recent research suggests that in social interactions, individuals often underestimate their likability and charm.
Studies indicate that people consistently fail to recognize signals of others' liking toward them, leading to a "liking gap" where individuals believe they are less likable than they actually are.
Techniques such as focusing more on others during conversations and genuinely expressing interest in them can help alleviate social anxiety by shifting the focus away from self-criticism. Ultimately, understanding that others may also experience similar anxieties can lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable social experience.

That's it for this week :)
