Gunsemble Stars
Thing (a.k.a. Endless Vide)
ESSP-1217 [Prince Star] || ESSP-1218 [Shine Star] || ESSP-1220 [Bit Star] || ESSP-1103 [Magi Star]
Inexperienced idols are given a small robot ('E.S.P.A.') each that aids them with piloting their suits. It can also act as a companion cube.
ESSP-501 [Burning Ranger] || ESSP-502 [Marine Ranger] || ESSP-504 [Iron Ranger] || ESSP-505 [Verde Ranger] || ESSP-506 [Ninja Ranger] || ??-?? [Lone Star Ranger]
Idols fight using giant robots for the right to perform on stage. Earnings include L$ and Star Points; the latter can be spent to improve their battle rankings. The higher the rank, the better equipment/accomodations/personnel available. [fine], [Eden] and [Knights] are the current Top 3.
ESCP-0101 [OMNI] || ESCP-0102 [Rose Princess] || ESCP-0103 [Savage Hyena] || ESCP-0104 [Sidewinder]
Not all idols support the system. Some resist, protest, others try to escape during battles, but end up lost. Units are penalized proportionate to the offense(s).

Please, if you can, take a moment to read and share this because I feel like I'm screaming underwater.
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) stigma is rampant right now, and seems to be getting progressively worse. Everyone is using it as a buzzword in the worst ways possible, spreading misinformation and hatred against a real disorder.
I could go on a long time about how this happened, why it's factually incorrect (and what the disorder actually IS), why it's harmful, and the changes I'd like to see. But to keep this concise, I'll simply link to a few posts under the cut for further reading.
The point of this post is a plea. Please help stop the spread of stigma. Even in mental health communities, even around others with personality disorders, in neurodivergent "safe" spaces, other communities I thought people would be supportive in (e.g. trans support groups, progressive spaces in general), it keeps coming up. So I'm willing to bet that a lot of people on this site need to see this.
Because it's so hard to exist in this world.
My disorder already makes me feel as if I'm worthless and unlovable, like there's something inherently wrong and damaged about me. And it's so much harder to fight that and heal when my daily life consists of:
Laughing and spending time with my friends, doing my utmost best to connect and stay present and focused on them, trying to let my guards down and be real and believe I'm lovable- when suddenly they throw out the word "narcissist" to describe horrible people or someone they hate, or the conversation turns to how evil "people with narcissistic personality disorder" are. (Seriously, you don't know which of your friends might have NPD and feels like shit when you say those things & now knows that you'd hate them if you knew.)
Trying to look up "mental health positivity for people with npd", "mental health positivity cluster bs", only to find a) none of that, and b) more of the same old vile shit that makes me feel terrible about myself.
Having a hard time (which is constant at this point) and trying to look up resources for myself, only to again, find the same stigma. And no resources.
Not having any clue how to help myself, because even the mental health field is spitting so much vitriol at people with DISORDERS (who they're supposed to be helping!) that there's no solid research or therapy programs for people like me.
Losing close friends when they find out, despite us having had a good relationship before, and them KNOWING me and knowing that I'm not like the trending image of pwNPD. Because now they only see me through the lens of stigma and misinformation.
Hearing the same stigma come up literally wherever I go. Clubs. Meetings. Any online space. At the bus stop. At the mall. At a restaurant. At work. Buzzword of the year that everyone loooves loudly throwing around with their friends or over the phone. Feels awesome for me, makes my day so much better/s
I could go on for a long time, but I'm scared no one will read/rb this if it gets too much longer.
So please. Stop using the word "narcissist" as a synonym for "abusive".
Stop bringing up people you hate who you believe to have NPD because of a stigmatizing article full of misinformation whenever someone with actual NPD opens their mouth. (Imagine if people did that with any other disorder! "Hey, I'm autistic." "Oh... my old roommate screamed at me whenever I made noise around him, and didn't understand my needs, which seems like sensory overload and difficulty with social cues. He was definitely autistic. But as long as you're self-aware and always restraining your innate desire to be an abusive asshole, you're okay I guess, maybe." ...See how offensive and ignorant that is?)
Stop preventing healthcare for people with a disorder just because it's trendy to use us as a scapegoat.
If you got this far, thank you for reading, and please share this if you can. Further reading is under the cut.
NPD Criteria, re-written by someone who actually has NPD
Stigma in the DSM
Common perception of the DSM criteria vs how someone may actually experience them (Keep in mind that this is the way I personally experience these symptoms, and that presentation can vary a lot between individuals)
"Idk, the stigma is right though, because I've known a lot of people with NPD who are jerks, so I'm going to continue to support the blockage of treatment for this condition."
(All of these were written by me, because I didn't want to link to other folks' posts without permission, but if you want to add your own links in reblogs or replies please feel free <3)
#actuallynpd#signal boost#actuallyautistic#mental health awareness#narcissistic personality disorder#people also need to realize that mental health professionals aren't immune from bias#(it really shouldn't come as a shock that the mental health field has a longstanding pattern of misunderstanding and mistreating ppl who ar#mentally ill or otherwise ND)#the first therapist i brought up NPD to like. literally pulled out the DSM bc she could barely remember the criteria. then said that there'#no way I have it because I have low self-esteem lmaoooooo#anyway throwback to being at work and chatting with a co-worker. and the conversation turning to mental health. and him saying that#he tries to stay informed and be aware and supportive of mental health conditions & that he doesn't want to be ignorant or spread harmful#misinformation. and then i mentioned that i do a lot of research into mental health stuff and i listed a bunch of things. which included#several personality disorders. one of which was NPD.#and after listening to my whole ass list he zeroed in on the NPD and immediately started talking about how narcissists are abusive and#he knew someone who had NPD and how the person who had it had an addiction and died from the addiction in a horrible way and he#was glad he did#fun times#or when i decided to be vulnerable and talk abt my self-criticism/self-hatred bc i knew my friends also struggled w that and i wanted to#support them by sharing my own coping methods. and they both(separately!) started picking and prodding at my npd through the lens of stigma#bc i'd recently opened up to them abt having it. they recognized self-hatred as a symptom and still jumped on me for it. despite me#trying to share hurt vulnerable parts of myself to help them and connect with them.#again..... fun times

coming back to tcm practitioner!geto who does tui na massage and bodywork every time you come in bc why not.
Tumblr media
practitioner!geto, who you never expected to be so pretty and almost soft spoken. he looks at you with kind eyes at every appointment, asks how you’ve been doing, and asks what you’re comfortable with for the day.
practitioner!geto whose hands are massive and warm. they’re soft, often so gentle and slow when he kneads and prods at your skin. it always makes your cheeks burn a little when he starts bodywork, but of course he remains professional.
practitioner!geto who’s almost more in tune with your body than you are, it seems. who catches even the slightest looks of discomfort on your face as he works, and about half the time he knows exactly where the pain is before he asks. but he asks anyways, his voice soft. “are you feeling discomfort in your stomach?” you mumble an approval, and a hand shifts there to soothe it gently.
practitioner!geto who quietly talks you through what he’s doing every once in a while. who encourages you to let your body and mind to unwind in his hands as he cradles your head and neck. who may or may not know what he’s doing when he says, “relax your neck. let me hold the weight of your head…. good girl, there you go….”
practitioner!geto who does the most work on your neck and lower back often because that’s what you need. some days, you’re thankful he saves the awkward part for last when he has you lift a leg and slides his hand under your hips, fingertips landing just above your tailbone to adjust your sacrum. he always asks if you’re comfortable, and what else should you say other than yes?
practitioner!geto who has to be aware of how your body responds when he’s that close with his hand between your legs, just above your ass, his face not terribly far from your thighs as his eyes fall shut once again. when you’re in thin cotton shorts and a tank, you think he can’t be oblivious to the way your cheeks get warm and blood rushes a bit in your body. he’s close enough that he could probably smell the arousal on you, and that thought only makes it worse.
practitioner!geto whose fingertips are gentle as he works on that delicate, sensitive area of your back. you settle back in to pushing every thought from your mind when he speaks, his voice warm and low. “that’s it, just relax….”
practitioner!geto who definitely does notice the way your body suddenly gets warmer right below his wrist. who could glimpse the damp heat at the core of your body if he tried, but of course he would never do that. who wills himself to ignore the way his body responds to yours in kind, pushing out thoughts of slipping his hand down just a little further.
practitioner!geto who may have thought about you one too many times when he’s home alone late at night, groaning into his hand, riddled with guilt that he’s imagined you underneath him. who almost knows his dreams of you are all he’ll ever get.

🌿Minimizing Waste as a Hearth Witch🌿
Tumblr media
Minimizing waste saves money and the environment. With a little creativity, there are many ways you can create opportunities to reduce waste and maximize the supplies you have.
🍄 Keep your jars. If you buy something that comes in a useful container and can be reused - then reuse it. In my experience, the best reuse for plastic containers is to freeze food. Also, small bottles like Advil bottles, are EXCELLENT spell jars. However, for all types, you can use them to store food, organize drawers and closets, store spell ingredients, or even make decorations. The possibilities are nearly endless!
🍄Keep all your fruit, vegetable, and herb scraps. With some scraps and water, you can make a lovely broth. Alternatively, you can use them to make a simmer pot for a spell or simply for the scent.
🍄If you eat meat, keep the bones. Again, a great broth ingredient!
🍄Avoid paper towels whenever possible. These are super wasteful and expensive. Whenever possible, I opt to use a towel or cloth. You can recycle old textiles for rags. However, if you're feeling ambitious you can knit or crochet towels and cloths; this is a great way to use up that scrap yarn you probably have laying around! You may even choose to add a bit of knot magic to these pieces.
🍄Thrift and upcycle. This is a bit of an obvious one; but really. It's a great way to have lovely belongings while reducing waste overall and saving money. With a bit of love, many things can be new.
🍄Almost every dish can be salvaged. It happens. We mess up. But, before you throw it away, do some research on how to salvage it. Odds are, you will be able to do it!
🍄Don't throw away fruits or vegetables that are overripe or wilting. Within reason, of course, many of these fruits and vegetables can be frozen for soups, casseroles, sauces, and smoothies!
🍄Buy a reusable coffee filter and tea basket for loose tea. Really, this is a given if you are a tea or coffee lover. Disposable ones are so wasteful and the reusable ones will pay for themselves in no time.
🍄Compost if you can. Compost dirt is amazing for growing ingredients for dishes and spells. While you're at it, save your eggshells, as well.
🍄Mend your clothes, blankets, and even shoes. A little bit of love can go a long way, including increasing the life of your favorite items. You can also add flair by learning how to darn and apply patches.
🍄Learn how to remove stains from fabric. In the same vein as mending, learning how to remove stains increases the life of your clothes. Different stains require different methods of removal, but usually, it is not impossible. Failing this, learn how to dye your clothes to revamp them.
🍄Use alternative cosmetics. This is a really big topic and I will create a post about this later. But, consider doing research. There are lots of things that can be made or substituted; notably face masks, hair masks, and using coconut oil as a make-up remover.
🍄Localize your practice. Use natural herbs and ingredients found in your local environment. Create your own correspondence if needed.
🍄Collect rainwater. Unfortunately, it is no longer a great idea to drink rainwater - but use it to water plants and clean your floors. Rainwater is also a powerful spell ingredient for spells that don't require drinking or putting on your skin.
🍄Only buy what you need. This time of year more than ever it is VERY tempting to buy up cheap Halloween-themed goods. But, consider an item's long-term usefulness, if it will create clutter and disorder in your home in the future, and if there are alternatives.
🍄Buy a cheap food dehydrator. These are perfect for making tea and drying out herbs, flowers, and other ingredients for spells and cooking.
🍄Consider alternatives in cooking and spells. There is always an alternative, you may not have to buy something new.
🍄Meals and beverages as spells. As a full-blown kitchen, I believe spells eaten and drank are extremely powerful. It also saves on ingredients.

- (( Kanata can technically cook, when it comes to only fish, and oftentimes raw. Anything else is a minefield. Come on; even he knows what acqua pazza is.
- (( Tetora can use an electric kettle just fine, thank you. It's the stove/oven he has a big problem with because he automatically turns up the heat at the highest setting. It's a long story why, but tl;dr, he's suffered a terrible case of food poisoning from meat that's not been cooked properly, and it's enough to traumatize him. Otherwise, he can be tasked with mixing and kneading dough well.
- (( Ritsu's food looks terrible visually, but it tastes great. Mandragora is one of his usual ingredients.
- (( Midori is the best cook in [Ryuuseitai], alongside Shinobu.
- (( Chiaki is actually taking steps to learn how to cook. He microwaved french fries, and even made a classic bento for Tori. Sure, the rolled omelette's kinda toasted, but it's a huge improvement.

guys I know I already did adrino fake dating but my original idea for that was actually “adrien (celebrity who never went to public school) begs nino (just some random guy) to please pretend to be his boyfriend while at some random bar and nino (is not into fashion and barely on social media) is like who tf are you? but okay lol and then they move on with their lives as you do when you kiss a stranger in a bar and he buys you a drink to thank you. except someone gets a photo and adrien in a desperate attempt to cover begs nino to please keep pretending just for a little while and nino’s like fuck it I wouldn’t mind a couple free dinners and then, as the trope implies, they fall in love but both of them think it’s all fake and they’re desperate to make the most of it while it lasts and the boundaries start to blur”
would that be something? what if I did that. I kinda want to. I read my original doc for it and I’d wanted to include some angsty stuff too - a lot of adrien dealing with homophobia (internal and external, from his father and the media/public) and maybe some gender stuff bc I can’t look at these two and not think about messing with gender. but it feels weird to do the same trope AGAIN for the same ship? even though it’d be a very different story… idk I might write it one day when I have time because my 2024 resolution was to write what I want to and boy do I want to write that story
