#not with coffee but I used to drink green tea for literally any time I was thirsty

Thena needs her caffeine but in this house there is none. As a result she has terrible migraine!
"How is she?"
A loud groan sounded through the whole house in response. Gil winced as he walked in with a bag in hand.
He had completely forgotten that his mom didn't keep any caffeine or alcohol in the house. She wasn't one for it, Makkari simply didn't need any caffeine to be as brimming with energy as she was, and Sersi didn't drink unless it was socially. Kingo wasn't opposed to a coffee here or a beer there, but he considered visiting home like 'being on a cleanse', or whatever.
Thena needed caffeine.
She drank no less than four coffees a day in a regular work week. He was always telling her he was worried about her caffeine intake, but there was no arguing with the stubborn Goddess of War on that one.
It hadn't taken long for the lack of caffeine to cause an irreparable headache which shook her to her core.
Gil walked into the living room, where his very sweet family was being very useless at curing Thena's migraine. His friend - and fiance - was curled up in a ball on the couch, face pinched from the tension within her head. He whispered, "Thena?"
"Gil?" she whimpered back, not even moving at the sound of his voice.
Sersi handed him a cool cloth, freshly soaked and wrung dry, "none of the pain meds Mum has will help this. It's pure caffeine withdrawal."
"Did we try?" Gil couldn't help but ask, not that it didn't irk both his Doctor mother and his bio-chemist sister. He sighed, "sorry, just...I hate to see her like this."
Gil bypassed them, going right over to the ball of Thena and turning her over so he could put the cool cloth on her forehead. "Hey."
"Hey," she whispered back, just barely getting her eyes open to look at him. She looked even paler than normal. "You're back."
"I'm sorry," he whispered, lips pressed to her temple, unable to do much more for her. "I had to go out looking."
"It's okay," Thena turned over slightly with a smile, "Sersi and Makkari have taken wonderful care of me. And your poor mother is trying to find anything that will even simulate caffeine for me."
"Thena!"
"Quiet!" Gil glared towards the door to the living room, where Kingo was striding in without a care in the world. His arms tightened around her, "she's not feeling well, man!"
"Sorry, sorry," he chuckled much too light heartedly for Gil's taste. He swirled his hand in the air, "I made chai!"
Gil glared at his cousin--basically his brother. Chai was a strong enough blend of tea, and it probably would have just a enough caffeine to alleviate some of Thena's symptoms. "You had this the whole time and let her-?!"
"Come on, Gil," Kingo pouted at him, Thena still wrapped protectively in his thick arms. "I forgot I had it, okay? And anyway, I had the seed pods whole--I had to do actual work to make them ready for brewing."
Gil sighed a little more roughly, all but ignoring his loud cousin next to him, "whatever."
"I thought it might help," Kingo leaned blithely into Gil's personal space to get a peek at Thena. "I also suggested yoga to help clear her head, but all she wanted to do was lie around and wait for you."
Gil was already pulling Thena closer so he could carry her to the kitchen, "y'know, dude, I'd appreciate if you didn't do shirtless yoga with my fiance when I'm not around?"
"Who said it was shirtless?"
"I've never seen you do it with a shirt on," Gil shot back without hesitation. Kingo just snickered at his obvious annoyance (dick). Gil stood with Thena in his embrace, "I have something better."
"Something to put me out of my misery?"
"Something like that," he chuckled, kissing Thena's temple again just because he could. She was really funny, even if she didn't think so. "You know this is why I'm always on you about how much coffee you drink."
"Yes, yes," she managed to roll her eyes at him, although even doing that much seemed to reawaken her pain. She grimaced, "how long have you been waiting to bring that up?"
"Until I also had something to help."
"Gil, I--oh."
Ajak made room for them at the kitchen island so Gil could set Thena down in one of the plush bar seats.
"It's okay, mom, I found some," he sighed as he made sure Thena was settled. "Had to go all the way to that organic store where you fill up your own jars."
Damned retiree town and its hipster stores.
Thena forced her eyes open again, "what did you find?"
"Coffee."
Thena perked up like a dog offered a steak after being in the desert.
"I got the lightest roast they had," he held Thena's eyes, waving the jar of fresh grounds in his hand. She watched it, utterly entranced. "Just enough to keep the pain away, okay? This shit was still expensive, even as the cheapest stuff I could find."
Thena let out a faint laugh, in better spirits just at the promise of some relief. "Are you going to ween me off of it with this?"
Gil looked at her again as he set out the coffee grounds and french press he had to buy just to make coffee here. He could just tell her that he told her so and that this was probably for the best, to get her less dependant on caffeine to even function. But he sighed, "gently. I won't let you suffer if I can do anything to help."
Some colour returned to her cheeks, which was honestly more of a relief than anything.
"I'll make you just one cup to start, okay," he continued to speak softly, shaking out just enough grounds and then reaching for the kettle.
"Thank you, Gil."
He looked up, compelled by the gentle, almost musical tone in her voice. Some colour rose in his cheeks as well as he looked back down at his brewing, "anything."
"Hey."
Gil looked up once the grounds were starting to brew. Thena nodded him over to her, and he moved automatically, like a man possessed. Her knees made room for him and he had to stop himself from putting his hand on the other side of them reflexively.
Thena leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss to the corner of his lips, just close enough to his cheek to be considered not actually 'kissing' him.
He blushed and his all his hair stood on end.
"You're a life saver," she said afterward, forcing a much lighter tone. She tucked some hair behind her ear and moved to watching the coffee brew. "Is it done yet?"
He had to laugh just a little. He gave above her knee - just at the hem of her skirt - a squeeze and moved away again, "will you just try having some patience?"
"You are not the one who has spent all morning with a jackhammer within your skull."
"If you took it even a little easy on the cold brew it probably wouldn't be so bad."
"I knew you were dying to tell me you told me so," Thena rolled her eyes.
Gil smiled; she didn't wince this time. He poured her cup, which really needed more time to brew than it had. Maybe he was just as impatient to cure her as she was. "Just put some shit in it to cover up the taste."
"Gladly," she sighed, although it was Gil who moved toward the fridge for said 'shit'.
They both completely forgot Ajak was still hovering at the edge of the kitchen.

Headcanons for Jason Todd/Red Hood that are true cause I say so;
- every. Single. Time. He wakes up, he stretches out and the crack his entire skeletal structure makes could break the sound barrier
- he has tried to dye the white streak in his hair every single color, he has also tried chopping it off; it comes back every time, usually worse, so he stopped trying
- he uses super expensive no smudge, eye - black, the kind that won’t rub into ur eyes, (when his eyes burn it reminds him of his time in the Lazarus pit) the stuff does not move. so any smears you see in the makeup are done entirely on purpose with the intent to look cool and edgy. (The eye black is one of the only splurging purchases he allows himself)
- the long gloves he wears aren’t actually long gloves, it’s a pair of short gloves layered over boxing bandages (this is entirely personal preference, he claims this feels better, he absolutely could get better gloves if he truly wanted them)
- he thrifted his brown jacket from goodwill and he’s secretly so proud of that fact (he literally LOVES thrifting and pretends like he doesn’t absolutely go FERAL when he finds a good deal)
- he grew up in poverty and that gave him a lot of habits, but one of the most obvious ones is his choice of snacks. His snack requests are ridiculous, two slices of cheese, a handful of chocolate chips, a piece of ham rolled up in a tortilla. Alfred is appalled, but at this point unphased (“master Jason’s snacking habits are his own.”)
- he really likes the color green, but he feels absolutely conflicted about the fact that he really likes that color due to all of the trauma he has surrounding the color (what can he say? He likes the nature)
- he treats his weapons like people. He names every single one of his them and cleans them regularly. He absolutely subscribes to the belief that if you don’t treat your weapons right they won’t work for you. If u ask him about that tho, he’ll lie and say he just wants to make sure they work when he needs them too. (he’ll apologize to them later)
- he has a (sometimes annoying) habit of fidgeting with his weapons when he’s bored, knives will be flipped open and closed, safety gets flicked on and off, move his scope every 5 seconds. Anything that makes something click a lil he probably does, he claims it “helps him focus”
- he wears long socks with wacky patterns every single day, he owns like 25 pairs of them in every color imaginable (there is a Batman pair of them, yes he will lie about that)
- he will not drink coffee black, you would think he would hide that but no, he is INCREDIBLY vocal about the fact that black coffee is absolutely revolting. He doesn’t even really like coffee at all, he prefers to get his caffeine from soda. He doesn’t really like tea either (but if Alfred makes it for him then u better believe it’s the best cup of tea he’s ever had in his entire life)
#jason todd#batman#dcu#i just love him#he’s literally my favorite robin#dc comics#red hood#au#headcanon#ao3

I know you mentioned somewhere that Terry doesn’t know where Daniel keeps his linens but…Is Mob!Terry really totally useless around the house lol? Like, can he help cook or clean? Does he know what curtains go with what bedspread, how to boil water for pasta if Daniel is under the weather? Can he bottle-feed a puppy, or make them lunch for school? Or is the whole sphere of domestic life completely foreign to him? Like, he would literally flop like a fish out of water if Daniel went on vacation for a week and left Terry to run the house? Is this a Terry thing, or is this an Alpha thing?
Daniel would go on vacation for a week and leave - sorry, what, haha?! ☺️😋 Both Daniel and Terry have bluescreened several times during that sentence alone. You'd have to forcibly remove Daniel to make that happen.
Terry can take care of the household stuff you can't buy easily even when you don't have servants. OK what does that mean? He can hang his clothes, polish his shoes, may remove a stain from his slacks. He can tidy, brew tea and what he thinks is coffee, can make sandwiches. He can wash out some socks and underwear and he can sweep things up. He had a housekeeper in his rooms when he was single, he left things presentable. But he can't do laundry, make beds, he has no idea what soap to use on what kind of floor, he can't iron, or polish and even if he could scrub he doesn't know how or what, he'd need a manual for any appliance, doesn't know plants. He can dress scrapes and cuts, but the sense of organisation you'd need to run a household smoothly, how to keep groceries fresh? When what is in season? He has no idea. Those little twirls and flourishes to make things not only practical but actually nice and welcoming? No. Clue. Many Alphas are so outside focused that if they live somewhere they wouldn't know why, when their living space has everything to functionally keep them alive, it doesn't nourish them... Because they don't own any plants or rugs, don't know what colour schemes they like, they don't have pets, they would never buy a blanket for in the living room, don't know how to place their photos... And an Alpha alone with pups, that is simply cataclysmic for them. Say an Alpha's beta mate dies in childbirth. The pups would of course miss their mother as a person like nothing else. But also, the home would lose all personality. Even if the Alpha, in despair, would hire a decorator or a nanny they would not know what little comfortable things their pups specifically need. I mean, juice is juice, right? They might even try to memorise which brand of juice but why their pup wants the brand (does it have pulp? Do they love the colour green? Is there a cartoon character on it?), they wouldn't even know how to ask. It's really distressing, because they love their pups and they want to care for them and they know their mother would know but they can't wrap their brains around it. It's part of the reason they would much rather die themself before they lose their mates. There's a reason why Daniel immediately called his mother to care for his elder pups while taking Gianni. Terry can make them breakfast and pour them drinks and play with them but no, he couldn't bottle feed Gianni, wouldn't know what to do with soiled diapers (that would make part of the house unlivable within two hours) he doesn't know where the special blankets are kept, it's all kinds of Not Good. Many Alphas meanwhile joke that they'll never see their married friends again.... not understanding the reason their now married friends hung out with them around the diners and pubs so much is that these places serve hot food! They don't consciously get that!
So Terry is not completely clueless and could keep an adult functioning but the first time an Alpha has a boyfriend or girlfriend over at theirs and they go out for an hour and suddenly there's coloured napkins on the table. And a little flower somewhere on the window sill. And they framed a picture of them together and wouldn't that look nice here? And they brought their snuggly blanket and would you like one too? They're thinking brown would be really nice, it would go with the dresser, they can buy them one? And a poster of their favourite sports team in that corner, wouldn't that be nice? They'll buy them a team scarf, it goes with their eyes - sweetheart? Why are you crying? Because something inside them would so physically relax at all that. O thank all the gods. But they still wouldn't exactly understand what it was that their lovers were bringing to their life, besides of course their presence.

Broken-Style Remix: Platonic Yandere Bruce Wayne + Bat-Family & Dakota Blake (Part 5)
SUBTITLE: THE HUNTRESS OF ARTEMIS
SUMMARY: Damian Wayne decides to get rid of the Father Figures in his elder sister's life so that she will embrace Bruce Wayne as her one true father and him as her younger brother. One night, as Robin, he stalks Tobias Blake and intends to end his life when he is intercepted by the Mysterious Hunter of Artemis who claims that the Blake Family is under her protection.
NOTE: WRITTEN IN SCRIPT FORMAT
[LOCATION - THE BLAKE FAMILY BAKERY - 15 MINUTES AFTER OPENING]
[The Shop smells like fresh baked goods like muffins, cinnamon rolls, and other pastries, as well as coffee, tea, and other delicious drinks. Damian sits in his chair at a high table with his laptop before him as he types away - he looks like he is doing homework but he is taking notes on Rani Blake as she and her employees work in the shop; there has to be something he can use against them so that Dakota would come to them instead. It's been a month since Wild Berry Week and Damian still comes into the shop for a Blueberry Muffin along with a cup of coffee; he learned that Dakota made the recipe for the muffins while Rani bakes them, that's the only reason he comes to the bakery and enjoys his sister's creations before leaving his when his father calls for him. So far, the bakery is running smoothly but he occasionally sees Rani glaring at him to which he smirks at her; she knows that the Wayne Family is after Dakota and she wants nothing more than to kick him out but if she kicked out a member of the Wayne Family without reason, it would be bad for business and she didn't want any bad publicity in the papers about her bakery.]
[The door opened and Damian looked up from his laptop to see a familiar male walk into the bakery: Tobias Blake. He looked into him: A Military Man who served 2 tours and collected a great number of scars - physically and mentally - but he managed to get himself together and find a decent job along with a woman by the name of Tori Bishop - now going by the name Tori Blake after her marriage to Tobias. Damian looked the man up and down: He was tall and muscular with short rusty red hair and green eyes that went well with his tan skin; as much as he didn't want to admit it, he saw what Tori saw in him - a kind-hearted man with a will and body of steel.]
Tobias (Walks over to the counter and waves Rani over): Hey, Little Sister, I wanted to inform you that your new shipment of supplies and pans is here. I guess Wild Berry Week damaged your pans, huh?
Rani (Exhales as she runs her hand through her long red hair): Yes, they did. I wish 'Kota would work with me here, then I could have more hands around to get more muffins out.
Tobias (Places his hands in his pockets): You know that Dakota loves where she is, Rani, plus I don't think her godmother would give up her number one barista without a fight. Literally.
Rani: I know. I know. You sure do know a lot about Dakota, Elder Brother, but that's to be expected from the man who raised her all those years ago. Remember when she called you 'Daddy' when she was first learning how to speak? You still have that recording, don't you?
Tobias (Blushed in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head with a low but hearty laugh): Yeah... It was so embarrassing but at the same time, it made me realize that I wanted children of my own. Now, Tori is pregnant and she says that I raised a decent young lady in Dakota but do you have any idea how long it took her to call me her uncle after years of calling me her father?
Rani: Well, you did a lot of things that a father would do: Took her to the hospital when she was sick, drove her to school when she was running late, scolded her when she got a boyfriend.
[That made Damian almost choke on his muffin piece - a BOYFRIEND?! HIS SISTER HAD A BOYFRIEND?! Well, she was old enough to have one so to speak but she was still a Wayne and there was no man alive that was worthy of the Wayne Heiress! He needed to find out how this so-called boyfriend was and deal with him...but first, he need to have a word with Tobias - the man who robbed Dakota of her real father, their real father. Once he was done with his muffin and coffee, he closed his laptop and placed it inside the satchel across his shoulder before walking over to the adults talking before he cleared his throat, gaining their attention; both of the Blakes looked at him with disinterest in their eyes and scowls on their faces.]
Damian (Glares into Tobias' Green Eyes with his own): Tobias Blake, I need to have a word with you about Dakota Wayne.
Tobias (Turns to face Damian and narrows his eyes): Her name is Dakota Blake, I should know because I was the one who named her when she was born. It was my honor that was given to me by her mother - the one that raised her for the past 16 years.
Damian (Narrows his eyes): The only reason that woman raised my sister was that she was too selfish to take to my father about his heir and you have been talking about raising her but don't you understand that you have taken away the right of raising a child away from her biological father? From my father?
Tobias: Listen, kid. I don't give a damn about your father or you for that matter. Both of you are making my niece's life harder than it has to be because you can't take no for an answer. Dakota has expressed numerous times that she wants nothing to do with your family and she refuses to claim the Wayne Name. Why? Because she's a Blake and it doesn't matter how much money your father tries to throw at her or Marissa, she will never be a Wayne.
Damian: You don't know what you are talking about. Dakota is a Wayne - it's only natural that an heir takes her father's name.
Tobias (Smirks): Funny you say that. She called me father but she only refers to your father as Bruce.
[Damian looked at the man with anger in his eyes but calmed down before turning on his heel and walking out of the shop. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number before placing the phone to his ear - it rang 4 times before the other person picked up.]
Alfred: Yes, Master Damian?
Damian: Get some information on Tobias Blake - he's the one who took the right and privilege of raising Dakota away from my father and I want him to pay.
Alfred: What are you planning, Master Damian?
Damian: I'm going to remove him from the equation completely.
[3 Weeks Later]
[There was a chaotic peace about the nights of Gotham City - a deadly silence that drew out the darkest passions of man and beast; Damian guessed that's why so much villain activity happened at night, under this blanket of darkness and chaotic peace. However, he wasn't looking for a villain or going on patrol with his father and adoptive brothers - the Last Robin had a mission of his own and he was going to use this time to his advantage. Jumping from one rooftop to another, Robin ran alone in the night as his eyes narrowed while he was reaching his target - Rani Blake's Bakery. For the past 3 weeks, Damian has been looking into one Tobias Blake to understand his pattern and he found out that every Saturday, there was a family event and all of the Blake Family was invited; sometimes Dakota would attend but this weekend, she had something else to do and couldn't attend, this was perfect for Damian, she didn't need to be around for what was about to happen.]
[Landing upon the roof of the last building across from the back of the bakery, The Last Robin crouched behind a rooftop door and peered around the corner to look down at the door that led to the back parking lot of Rani's Bakery, his eyes were locked on the door when it opened and the tall man walked out with a smile on his face as he placed his hands in his pockets as he hummed a song. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his car keys as he walked over to the lone car in the parking lot. Damian reached into his Batarang Case and pulled out a League of Assassins Star and aimed it for the neck of the man.]
Damian (Thinking): 'You're not Dakota's Father - Tonight, it will break her and I will be there to put the pieces back together with her real father. Goodbye, Tobias Blake.'
[Just as he was about to throw the star, something flew past his ear and knocked the star out of his hand, causing him to retract his hand and hold it when the mysterious object also cut his fingers. He looked at the object - a lone arrow was embedded in the stone of the rooftop door - Damian looked in the direction of the arrow and his eyes narrowed as he laid them upon the one who shot the arrow.]
[A lone figure stood on the roof with him, dressed in black attire with a black wolf mask that covered the eyes and nose of the person and a golden crest on their shoulder with the name 'ARTEMIS' written in black writing. From what Damian could see, the person had tan skin, and short black hair but he couldn't see their eye color. The Hunter was armed with an arrow loaded in a bow, pointing it at Damian, and a short sword on their black - a katana. Damian rose to his feet and glared at the Hunter before pulling his sword out of its sheath.]
Damian (Points sword at the Hunter before him): What the hell are you doing? You're getting in my way.
Hunter (With a female voice - a woman): You were aiming for someone who is under my protection.
Damian (Raises an eyebrow): Your protection? Just who the hell are you?
Huntress: I am a Huntress of Artemis and that's all you need to know. Well, that's a lie. You need to understand that the Blake Family is under the protection of the Hunters of Artemis and if you go against them, we will come to protect them and put you in your place. Now, you have missed your mark, leave this place and never return.
Damian: Never. I won't stop until I accomplished my mission. I have too much at stake here to just give up because some 'Bat Family' Wannabe demands me to.
Huntress (Scoffs): You fail to realize that I have nothing to do with the Bat Family, nor do I wish to be like them. The Order of Artemis is much older than the Bat Family's Presence in Gotham and you are overstepping your bounds, boy. Leave the Blake Family alone or deal with us.
[Damian watched as Tobias drove away in his car before he charged at the Huntress of Artemis with his sword and roared in anger - his target got away and he was pissed off about it. He swung his sword at the female under the mask before she jumped away and pulled out her sword before placing her bow away. A fight was going to ensue. For the past twenty minutes, Damian swung his sword and used the skills his father and mother steeled inside of him but they were nothing compared to the Huntress of Artemis. The battle ended when the Huntress grabbed his wrist and lifted her knee to crash it into the side of his elbow, making it bend, and shattering it, making the boy scream in pain before roundhouse kicking him in the chest to make him slide against the roof until he came to a stop. Damian grunted as he picked himself off the ground, holding his broken arm as he growled at the girl before him.]
Damian: How? Who the hell are you?
Huntress (Places her sword back in her sheath and turned away from Robin): As I have said, I am a Huntress of Artemis and I am a protector. Leave the Blake Family alone...or I'll break more than your arm. (Runs and jumps to the next roof before disappearing in the darkness of the night)
[Damian released his arm and placed his hand over the intercom in his ear.]
Damian: Father... we have a problem.

Wish You Were Here
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairings: Aaron Hotchner/Female Reader
Word Count: 1002
Tags: Some typical case talk, Hotch on vacation, not much else
Summary: Just a blurb based on the prompt 'wish you were here' to get me creating again. 🤍 Overthinking is my enemy.
It’s day five of a serial murder case in Central Florida, and the weather is humid, the air thick and stifling. Aaron is standing—quite literally—in a swamp, his feet shoved into borrowed wading boots, his sleeves unbuttoned and rolled up. Mosquitoes buzz around their faces, and Morgan repeatedly slaps at his arms and mutters when he is bitten by yet another; apparently they’re sweet on him. Reid crouches down and lifts a muddy, slick clump of seaweed out of the water with a stick.
“Sargassum. Chinese herbalists often prescribe it in powdered form and recommend drinking it as a tea,” Reid tells the group. “Some species have anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anticoagulant properties.” He looks up, squinting against the brilliant sun overhead, and the seaweed—sargassum—slides off and falls back into the water, which splashes him in the face. He grimaces, and Morgan smacks himself on the arm again and curses like a sailor. Aaron sighs.
“Would it have had any impact on decomposition?” he asks as patiently as he can; he can’t imagine having Reid’s brain, knowing so much, and being expected to use it specifically for their benefit, nothing more. He knows Reid appreciates his patience, can tell by his light shrug as he comes to standing, his own rubber boots stretching up his long legs and stopping mid-thigh.
“Not to my knowledge. Whatever caused the accelerated decomposition, it wasn’t this.” He swipes the back of his hand over his face, wiping away the dirty swamp water, and Aaron pulls his phone out of his pocket to update the other half of the team. He pauses when he notices that a text message was delivered ten minutes ago, then drags his finger across the screen to unlock it—and he smiles for the first time in five days when he sees the photo attached.
It’s nothing unexpected or urgent, just you and Jack sitting on the bleachers at one of his soccer games, your heads together and grins on your faces. Jack has a green smear of a grass stain on his uniform, and you look lovely as ever, glowing in a blue sundress with little white flowers on it, your signature iced coffee in your hand.
The caption is simple and effective: Wish you were here!
Morgan slaps a mosquito on the back of his neck; Reid loses his footing and grabs onto a nearby sheriff’s deputy for balance, takes them both down in a splash of brackish water and mud.
Aaron sighs for what feels like the hundredth time today, missing his son and his girlfriend and their uncomplicated, happy little slice of life.
He wishes he was there, too.
“Jack, sweetie, come tell Dad goodnight; he’s only got a moment.” You duck down into the video chat frame, your phone propped up against a box of pasta, and Aaron can almost smell your fragrant, homemade marinara from Oregon. He is stressed, exhausted while the team hunts a preferential sex offender who has just kidnapped his third young boy—a home-cooked meal, a glass of wine, and a night in with his two favorite people sounds like absolute heaven right now.
Jack rushes into the kitchen, stops next to you out of breath, with a smile on his face.
“Hi, Dad. Taylor’s spending the night, we’re playing Minecraft!”
“That’s great, buddy. I can tell you’re having a lot of fun. Listen, I’m not sure if I’ll be home tomorrow or not, so make sure you have your homework done and your gear ready for practice Monday, okay?” Jack crinkles his nose and dismisses Aaron with a wave of his hand.
“I did that already, don’t worry. We have a system.” He looks up at you, and you smile, setting your hand on the top of his head. “Goodnight and stay safe, Dad. Love you.”
"Love you." He scurries away, leaving as quickly as he came, and Aaron huffs a tired laugh down the line. “We have a system.”
“We do have a system, for your information, and it’s a pretty great one,” you reply playfully, stirring your sauce. He takes in what he can see of your outfit—leggings and one of his t-shirts, oversized even on him—and can just imagine the two of you on the sofa, you cuddled up to his side. “He asked to invite Taylor over to play for a couple hours, and I told him he could, but first he’d have to straighten up his room and do his homework.”
“And that worked?” he asks, taking a sip of coffee—it’s going to be a long night; you turn to face the camera and give him a soft wink.
“Almost. But he’s a bargainer just like his dad, asked if Taylor could sleep over instead.”
“And you gave in like the marshmallow you are.” You scoff in false indignation, and he laughs, can’t help himself. “Best step-mom-to-be ever.”
"Best husband-to-be." Prentiss steps up behind Aaron, a signal that his short-lived break has come to an end.
You sigh affectionately, and he can almost guess exactly what you’re thinking:
Wish you were here.
It takes five long minutes for you to find the perfect postcard. And then…
“Ten dollars?” Aaron says, incredulous, when he flips it over to examine the price tag. “You could get this back home for fifty cents.”
“Maybe in 1980,” you reply with a laugh, and he slowly raises a brow in challenge. “Even stamps cost more than fifty cents now, Aaron. And besides, it’s perfect. They’re going to love it.”
He looks down at the piece of card stock in his hand, at the crisp cyan of the ocean, the dreamy blue of the sky, the green palm trees, and the gold lettering stretched across the middle of the scene; it reads ‘Dominican Republic’—the only potential honeymoon destination you could both agree on—and he buys the card and watches over your shoulder as you scrawl a message onto the back in black ink.

It's a Dry Heat
@flashfictionfridayofficial prompt - "an eternal summer"
“You know,” Aziraphale said thoughtfully, “I always thought an eternal summer sounded lovely.”
It took a second for the words to register; Crowley had been desperately sucking down the remaining water in his canteen. When he got the few drops, he looked to Aziraphale. “Wot.”
“Eternal summer. You know, like in Shakespeare’s Sonnets?”
“I think that’s a metaphor, angel. Thy eternal summer. Youth. Not literal summer.”
“I know it’s a metaphor.” For a moment, Aziraphale just pouted at him. “But I still thought the real thing would be lovely. Such a nice change from the chill.”
Crowley held his canteen above his mouth and shook it, hard. No water left, though. “And now?”
“Well…” Expression still thoughtful, Aziraphale looked over the cracked, barren soil that stretched out lifelessly in every direction. “I don’t think that anymore.”
“Lucky for you this is only normal summer, then.” Snorting, Crowley shook his canteen again. But nope. Nothing. “I told you we shouldn’t leave the damn path and cut across the desert.”
“It’s all desert, dear boy.”
“The other desert areas had plants.” Which meant water. Here, not so much. There was nothing here.
Aziraphale heaved a dramatic sigh as they clambered over the next crumbling hill to be greeted by even more dry ground. “I told you we ought to have taken up those cattleboys on their offer.”
“Cowboys,” Crowley snapped.
“But no, you had no desire to ride horses…”
“Horses are wankers. And honestly, they’d probably be dying right about how. Horses need water more than we do.” Technically speaking, angels and demons didn’t need water at all. But he and Aziraphale were both used to drinking something regularly—tea, coffee, cocoa, alcohol—and the inability to do so made Crowley twitchy. “D’ya have any left?”
Aziraphale wiggled his canteen. “I’m afraid not. And we have absolutely no clue how far we are from greener lands. I fear we shall perish.”
“Fuck that. I’ve had enough of trudging across the desert.” Crowley drew a deep breath, gathering energy. And then, exhaling slowly, he manifested his wings.
Black feathers stretched to the sky, and he closed his eyes as the heat of the sun seeped through them. The sun felt terrible on his corporation, but wings were different. Closer to his true nature, that of the serpent, and the serpent liked basking in sunlight.
Aziraphale gave him a skeptical look. “You can’t possibly be serious.”
“Why not?” Crowley gave an experimental flap, and sand swirled around their feet.
“Well, someone might see us, for one thing.”
“Who’s gonna see us out here? We’re in the middle of nowhere.” Not leaving time for argument, Crowley blasted into the air.
He flew in one big loop above Aziraphale’s head before the angel’s white wings appeared, and another full loop before Aziraphale launched into the air and joined him. Crowley flashed a bright grin, and Aziraphale glared in response. “I-I still don’t think this is a good idea. I’m very out of practice.”
“Me too.” Crowley looped around him again, muscles aching as he flapped his wings, twisted, dove. But it was a good ache, and it felt damn good to stretch his wings after so long. “But it’s this or probably discorporate from heat stroke.”
“I don’t want to discorporate from heat stroke.”
The matter settled, Crowley launched himself forward. The desert zoomed past underneath, seeming almost like nothing now that they weren’t crossing it step by step. His mouth remained dry, lips cracked, and skin roasted by the sun. But in a way, this was almost enjoyable now.
He and Aziraphale had never gotten to do this before, to really fly together. Hadn’t known each other in Heaven, and even in the early days on Earth they hadn’t done much more than coast down from high places. But full out flight, riding air currents while turning to occasionally grin at each other, was way more fun than he could have guessed.
And then he spotted it, green up ahead, the glint of sunlight off water. “Down there!” he called to Aziraphale, veering towards it.
They rocketed over a ranch, and a couple faces turned up towards them. Whoops. Hopefully they’d just get to be the subjects of a cool legend or something. Crowley might start one himself when they got to a town.
Crowley’s legs buckled as soon as he hit the ground, fatigue slamming into him all at once. But he was right on the shore of a small lake, and he scrambled forward to it with relief. He plunged his hands into the water, splashed it across his face, and then scooped up more to drink.
The heat of the sun vanished a split second later, and he looked up to see a white wing stretched overhead. “Gosh. Thanks, angel.”
“Of course. This was an excellent idea, my dear. And in truth, I rather enjoyed our flight.” Aziraphale beamed at him, then knelt for his own drink.
The white wing remained outstretched, providing shade, and Crowley smiled. All in all, he and Aziraphale might argue their way through trouble. But even an eternal summer wouldn’t be so bad if he and Aziraphale could spend it together.

Random Things Dr. Iceberg Has Said While Hunched Over His Desk Asleep
Dr. Julian Iceberg is many things. Touchy, sarcastic, a fan of bad ninja movies, a sucker for good pecan pie, and... kinda funny as a sleeptalker. Since he's really gotten up a lot of noses, and Dr. Gears likes me, it's our frosty sourpuss's turn to get teased. Big Boss spilled plenty of iced tea on the subject.
"Wait... since when do we have whoopee cushions as part of our kit?"
"Big banana boy." Repeated ten times, we have no banana anomalies of any kind, as far as I know.
"Silk hose? Really? This the modern age, or the pirate age?"
"I'm gonna keyhaul him right into a volcano."
"No, no, no. No. No. Nein, nyet, non, not happening. I do not get paid enough to paint 682's nails. Ask 053, he likes her. Oh? Why didn't you just ask to borrow my blue polish?"
"For 343's sake, Bright! Naked yoga is an in-quarters only activity! O5 told you this!"
"Dyo. Wash. Your. Bits. I'm getting blinded by your blinged-out dong."
"Why are they green?"
"You're gonna need a bigger gun, Alto." A pause. "Bigger. Like an AC 130 big. Well, don't ask me then. Sheesh."
"Since when did lasagna get on the menu?"
"You have a choice: put on clothes, or get the hose." Long pause. "Gender appropriate clothes. No one wants to see you in a miniskirt."
"Run. Faster. Go faster. Clowns are coming, must go faster."
"Choke on a Deagle, Insurgency bastard!"
"I WILL SHOVE YOUR HEAD SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU CAN WATCH ME BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU! DON'T CALL ME 'JULIE'!" No idea where that came from, but that was at 3 am on a Monday. When Iceberg.exe crashes, he crashes hard. He was there for hours, I heard.
"Hey, 076? Settle a bet, please? You wear the loincloth because it's cooler than pants, right?"
"My feet are NOT happy."
"For the ninth and final time, PUT ON SOME PANTS! I want to see a dong, I'll call Dr. Bright."
"Huh. This a cupcake, or the stone 073 used to kill 076-2 the first time?"
"WHO PUT CLOWN MAKEUP ON THE KETCHUP PUPPIES?!?"
"Pffft. So you got a jar of dirt. We have literal God and Foundation funding on our side, my good sir."
"Finally, something Mabel made that doesn't taste of Styrofoam." (aggressively chews file folders) "These hotcakes need some syrup."
"There is no Dr. Iceberg, only Zuul!"
"Dad! Bruce is sitting on me. Again."
"Jack. Get YOUR head out of MY ass."
"No... not the pink snowball suit! I'll be good, Boss, I promise! I don't want to be a snack cake!"
"You don't scare me. I've seen Dr. Gears angry."
"Fish."
"Do I look like I know what's going on?"
"No. Grape. Soda."
"Uh... didn't think Jello shots involved firearms, but your party, Alto."
"This is the weakest coffee I ever had. This isn't even coffee, it's the ghost of Java past. If I set this down and walk away, I bet $100 4999 pays it a visit."
"Eat this, you big ugly undead asshole."
"Leather pants? Hope you powdered yourself, otherwise... ouch."
"Duck. I mean... Duck!" A pause, then laughter. "And now you have literal egg on your face. I told you there was a duck."
"I'm allergic to peanuts. I'll skip "Peanut Butter Jelly Time", thanks."
"Uh... why is there A GIANT FREAKING BUTTHOLE in the Astrophysics Labs?"
"Bugger off, it's my panini."
"Leggo my Lego, Bright! That's my bloody X-Wing, I built it fair and square!"
"Touch my boots, I'll freeze your hands off."
"Coffee. Black. Never mind the mug, I'll drink it straight from the carafe."

EYELASHES/🍓 ANON POPS UP RANDOMLY
Here is a little detox questions for you because you deserve it for the hard work 😔✨
1. OOOO your MBTI?
2. What's your favorite season? Like a season that makes you melt in bed 🏃🏃🏃 (only me?)
3. Favorite singer? And their favorite song?
4. ANY FUNNY SCENARIO HAPPENED THAT IS STILL IN YOUR MIND?
5. If you had the ability to posses one power, what will it be? 😗🧐
6. Do fishes have thirst for water 🧍
(yes that last one was random and had me thinking nonstop like wtf do fishes drink water orrr-)
ANYWAYS LOVE U AND TAKE CARE, YOU DESERVE THE WORLD
aw :( ty 🍓 !!! you're v sweet, these are some fun lil' questions :D ya should tell me yer own answers if ya get the chance, I'm curious !!!
1- I honestly have no idea 😭 I took the test a couple times before bc I kept forgetting cause all those letters are hard to remember and I still don't remember!!! heh im sorry 👉👈
2- melt in bed... that sounds so funny 💀 I'm a fan of winter!!!!!! I love the chrimuth decorations and the cold weather bc I like to get all warm and toasty, plus I like to wear the sweaters I crochet/knit throughout the year
3- favorite singer... That's a hard one indeed 🤔 I listen to all types of music that makes my brain go brrr especially music with lots and lots of bass, I think my favorite type has to be hard metal screamo rap music simply because headbangin' is somethin' I do to stim when I'm overwhelmed with hefty emotions. 🧍 my favorite song that I'm currently hyperfixatin' on though is 'I love you hoe' by odetari & 9lives, I don't care for the lyrics but I really enjoy the 'spacey' feelin' I get when I listen to it... Kinda like that one song where people had this belief that it made people do their homework faster I think it was somethin' like... 'i can run faster with no wind resistance' or something, but the beat was so wiggly I have to find that song again... I JUST LOOKED IT UP-- the song is literally called 'no wind resistance' holy shit 😭
4- sigh... for some reason, I can't keep myself from laughin' when I hear someone pourin' liquid??? I used to have a thermos (I need to buy a new one) that I would fill with hot black/green tea and then whenever id pour the tea into the lil' cup I would giggle hysterically like some crazy person 😭 I think it's hereditary however, cause this morning I was drinkin' coffee near my mom and I have a tendency to 'slurp' from my mug and she kept gigglin' when I would slurp from it 😭 she also laughs when things are poured. the autism is strong in the family ngl. I even laughed RN at the memory of pourin' a cup of tea ._.
5- oh ya already know I'm gonna have my mailtda powers manifested soon 🧍 I'm talkin' telepathy, spell castin', teleportation, levitation, all that shit, but I do not want the ability to mind read bc that does not sound fun. hmm... pyrokinesis could be fun too
6- you'll have to ask 🐠 anon for that one 💀 bUt!!! I did learn a terrible fact today about dolphins! did y'know that dolphins terrorize pufferfish so that they can get high off the chemical that the pufferfish release in defense of predators? they throw the pufferfish around with the use of their teeth and stuff, tossin' them up and around, even above water, and then they like know when they need to stop gettin' high before the chemicals become lethal. there's enough poison in one pufferfish to kill 30 human adults but dolphins just love gettin' fuckin' HIGH!
im sorry for the ramblin' but if there's one thing to be told about me... I talk way too fuckin' much despite bein' an ambivert with a heavy lean towards bein' an introvert 🧍

here are some things that i have learned in the last ehhh 10yrs of living alone (more or less):
best before = it is at its best until a particular date but is still safe/edible for another 28 days after that date (ie: roughly a month).
use by = it is very unsafe and very, very unwise to eat/drink that thing after the date on the packaging. you will get sick. trust me.
three options for bread keeping: i. keep it in an air-tight container (such as a bread bin), ii. keep half out and the other half in the freezer (and defrost it later), or iii. keep the bread in the fridge at all times - if it's white spots on the crust only, cut the crust off and toast the bread, if it's Green spots, it's been out longer than 2 months and you should throw it away.
bottom shelf is where you'll find the cheapest stuff, usually (can be top, but is usually bottom because the BrandsTM have to be in direct eyeline - ie: the middle).
don't trust a can? sniff test. don't trust the milk? sniff test. if it smells bad in Any way, throw it out.
sugar is fine, it doesn't go off, only throw it out if it Somehow has bugs in it.
salt is the same as above (i've had the same salt pot since 2017, it's fine).
don't buy 8p potato salad - you will absolutely regret it.
if you aren't going to eat a whole thing of something, bung it in the freezer - depending on what it is, it can last anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months (but once you defrost it, you Have to eat it immediately).
put green bananas in direct sunlight so they ripen and then put the yellow bananas in the fridge (this will slow down spottiness process & prevent fruit flies).
if, for some reason, you have noodle seasoning packets laying around, you can use them to enhance whatever vegetable/meat-based meal you are making (it's basically stock).
if you are hungry (and i mean you are in Pain from hunger) you will end up making a meal out of whatever the fuck you have and/or eat something directly out of its container - this is fine, you're eating something and that is more than enough but also: only eat custard, rice pudding, tuna, and stuff like spam out of the can, if it's like chicken or whatever don't do that, you will get sick.
if in doubt: washing up liquid is good for cleaning p much everything (not the bathroom... just use basic bleach for that if you don't have fancy schmancy stuff).
tap water is usually fine (in the case that it is not, buy a HUGE 3L bottle of water).
a bottle of cordial lasts longer than a carton of orange juice (it's not watertok bs, believe me. ribena? godsend. vimto? godsend.).
weetabix/weetbix/wheat bisks is your best bet for cheap cereal - you add a lil sugar for flavour, maybe some fruit, and you can eat it Both hot and cold.
backpacks are best for carrying heavy objects like bottles, save the totes & reusable bags for lighter stuff if you can.
an electric kettle is your best friend - you can use it for (instant) coffee, tea, hot chocolate, instant ramen/pot noodle, instant soup, anything that is 'instant', use the kettle and you will have Something to fill your belly up.
don't overthink stuff - meal prep if you want but don't overthink it, especially if you're living by yourself - you don't wanna plan a whole roast dinner when it's just you, so get enough stuff for 1 person.
yes the cheap stuff is literally the same as the brand stuff (i get it if you're nd and you can only have Certain foods but this is more for the nts), it's not a conspiracy (fuck you shane dawson and your classist fuckery), it's the same stuff because it's made in the same place, usually.
if you're worried about prices, use a calculator on your phone and then you can put back whatever is making your basket/trolley overbudget BEFORE you get to the checkout.
i don't care what tiktok moms or whatever the fuck are saying, you do not need that super expensive brand thing - it's usually got less portions and doesn't last anywhere near as long as you think it does. just because it tastes good doesn't mean it's gonna last you the week/month.
if you can buy it frozen, do so - it's usually cheaper and lasts far, far longer.
ASK FOR HELP. I KNOW YOU ARE PRIDEFUL AND AFRAID OF THE STIGMA BUT ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED TO BUY GROCERIES. IT IS OKAY TO ASK. IT IS OKAY TO GO TO THE FOOD BANK AND ASK FOR HELP. IT IS OKAY TO ASK SOMEONE (FRIEND/FAMILY MEMBER/SOMEONE YOU TRUST) FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT.

I have a new favorite ship in Empires and it’s just because of ONE POST by @this-tumbleweed-surecan-fish (yeah it’s that easy to give me a new OTP just ONE POST)
so here have some ship and normal character headcanons in my Empires college au because there is one piece of writing about them out there and it was a short post. literally fuck me
Pix, Joel, Lizzie, and fWhip. that’s the ship. I can’t believe this.
Joel is the tallest out of them and fWhip is the shortest
fWhip and Lizzie are really good at talking and Pix and Joel are really good at listening
They all have ADHD
When they’re in public they usually pretend to be two separate couples because the public isn’t exactly used to polyamory, and none of them are really ‘BE LOUD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!’ people
Lizzie, Pix, and fWhip are all like parents to Hermes (that kid has literally five parental units what)
Speaking of Hermes!! The rest of them know of and are perfectly fine with Sausage, and he and Joel adopt Hermes one day because they find him on the streets and they couldn’t just leave him there, so. ✨child✨
fWhip and Pix are cave bros and love dark/ tight spaces, but Lizzie and Joel hate them
Pix does photography!!
And Joel does bouldering and climbing
As per Fish‘s post, they call each other gf/ bf/ wife/ husband even tho they don’t actually get married lol
Hermes made friends with one of the dodos in the orchard one day when Pix was watching him and now they’re besties; it’s like Disney Hercules and Pegasus
With that plus Lizzie’s zoology; fWhip’s cave creatures, and Sanctuary’s whole deal, he grows up to be a huge animal person
Anyways moving away from Hermes lmao
All of them flirt so aggressively help
MAKING FUN OF JIMMY TOGETHER
If they’re out and someone asks Lizzie if she’s there with anyone, because the four of them are hanging out together, they’ll all just laugh until the guy gets freaked out and leaves
They all get their hair dyed at least a little bit- Lizzie (obviously) goes all pink, Joel has his green stripe, and then Pix gets a navy blue one and fWhip does full teal and green until the roots grow back in orange. The idea was started because Lizzie was getting hers redone and asked if they wanted to participate (her kitten eyes were like a fucking off switch on their strength of will)
Everyone thinks Pix is the responsible one. He’s not. He’s just as crazy as the other three
Lizzie has dubbed herself mayor of all the pets in their dorm building, Joel drinks sketchy protein shakes with all normal ingredients other than a splash of water from the fountain outside the Historical Mythology building, fWhip reads hanging off the couch upside down like a fucking bat. Pix seems normal enough on the surface, but my man single-handedly discovered a new species of fruit trees in 3 variants, a thought to be extinct species, and a machine that’s been around since the beginning of time, and he considers emerald ore to be worth more than his life. He’s pretty far from ‘normal’
Pix runs the campus news channel, and his partners find it adorable and also kind of worrying when they walk into the living room at two in the morning for water to see Pix sitting on the floor, surrounded by stacks of paper and two laptops, three cups of coffee and one of tea, and him in the middle wearing sweats and one of Joel’s shirts/ no top if he couldn’t find any, scrambling to get the next weekly episode out. Once he had to record the voiceover around Hermits, and they harassed him the whole time and threw pencils when he made a bad joke
Lizzie and Pix got American driver’s licenses, but Joel insisted that ‘he was loyally British and he liked being British and unless America changed their shtewpid driving habits, he’d have the rest of them drive him around the whole time’
Dishes never get done in their household I swear to god
Uno/ board games/ video games are a fucking nightmare because they’re all scarily competitive
They like sleeping in one bed, but sometimes it’s too hot for that so there is two beds
They actually do go on trips!! It’s like a thing for birthdays and stuff that they’re taken somewhere
For example, they took Lizzie to the San Diego zoo, fWhip to the Carlsbad Caverns, Pix to the Smithsonian, and Joel to the Parthenon
When one of them is sick, they have a whole lot of simping from the rest of them
fWhip and Lizzie have morning classes, Pix and Joel have late ones (that usually means the first two are making/ getting dinner while the other two are in class)
Anyways. Them <33

Just Some Ninjago HC’s
Pt. 2
- The Show
Cole is great with kids, usually younger kids, teenagers after a while he can brake their walls. Who the fuck cares about the tweens, let them decide if they want to come hang out with, he most definitely isn't gonna try with them cause they literally come to him eventually, they pretend the ninja are cringe but after seeing them interact with others the tweens hang out with Cole.
When Kai flustered the tips of ears get little flames, which is one reason why he spikes his hair, so that the flames aren't layered on and he doesn't end up with the burning hair smell.
Nya not only is a bit of an over thinker at times but is just as hothead as her brother but if she drinks some water of is in water or water comes on her she'll calm down and think much clearer. And the more water the better
When Nya is angry and/or overthinking Kai will get a cup of water/water bottle. If she's overthinking he'll try to get her fingers in the water or get droplets on her head, neck and legs from behind till she takes a breather. If she is in her anger he'll just dump the water on her, at first she's ready to yell at him but then she says thank you.
Nya can control the temperature of water.
Kai is an asshole, but he is a polite asshole to those he loves that's a given. But even in battle he isn't trying to hurt bad guys feelings he’s just in the moment.
Zane has over fried his circuits on more than one occasion, before he first died his body would just slowly power him down basically the equivalent to us feeling tried.
We're just lucky that Zane was the nindriod and not one of the others cause they worked themselves to max regardless of what their body tells them. Everyone but Wu and Zane are part coffee, they try to combat this with tea.
↑ If any of them were the nindroid there would have been too many times they could have ruined their machine body despite all the precautions Dr. Julian put on the body
Kai loves Lloyd to death but he refuses to buy him candy, and so do Cole and Zane. The only ones who will buy him candy are Nya and Jay, who get in trouble for being the co-parents/friends who encourage Lloyd’s (unhealthy) love from sweets.
- The Movie | Lloyd = Green Ninja → L=GN
Lloyd likes polka dots, I don't know why but he does. Movie Lloyd just seems like the kinda guy to like polka dots.
Jay’s mom has tried to get him to join the debate team, but he has so much anxiety that he can't do it. Also before the L=GN they really didn't want him there and seeing that he couldn't handle it seemed like the perfect reason to tell him to leave
Cole is a cat person, and he loves naps
Dr. Julian is younger in the movie, he was the genius prodigy kid
Borg and Julian are like about the same age, they're besties your honor. (I know they aren't in the movie but...)
And since they were best friends who loved working with technology Pixal was made soon after Zane, but was sent to school later than him. (...but I want Pixal)
Kai celebrates (whatever their equivalent would be) pride month like how States celebrate the Fourth of July, he makes fireworks too, he will be in everyone's face about it, and you're gonna know it's that time of year. You never have to ask what month it is cause he puts it all over school basically
Nya loves stickers, she collects them.
< Previous > | You’re Here: Part 2 | < Next? >

Hello skinny legends todays been a day. I literally just got home while leaving at 8:30am. Today technically I liquid fasted. But like not in a healthy way I have copious amounts of coffee. Enough to total 1000 cals.
Liquid cals don’t feel as bad as food cals cause idk, my girl math just makes it make sense to me. But I did get in my exercise and I did get in my 10k steps.
Someone had posted in another 3D page that mixing up cals helps with losing steady weight and not plateau. Once again girl math 🧮
Anywho I did say I would look up low cal foods and I did so here’s some that I picked up today.
Pineberries/ strawberries
** clearly the last one is too much calories for just one dipped so let’s pretend it’s not there 🥲
So fruits and veggies raw in their natural state is really low in calories, like apples, bananas, carrots, celery etc.
I also picked up rice cakes
*I have a major sweet tooth and tend to binge on cookies
So I picked these up
60 calories per serving
I also got these 35 cals per serving
I also picked up coffee which if you drink it black is 2 cals per 8oz
But I use sugar packets and each is about 20 cals a piece
Drinking coffee keeps me feeling full like I ate a meal so I drink 2-3 cups a day
I picked this up to try it out, probably mix it with some blended and season cottage cheese.
2 % Low fat cottage cheese is 90 calories, I would use half of a half and it would be 45. It’s only for me so I don’t need a lot of it to make a sauce.
I also got low fat cool whip that’s 20 cals per serving
And sugar free pudding mix like the cheese cake flavor to mix it in and make a small snack.
And lastly I got some seafood, fish and shrimp are low in calorie and high in protein.
One thing I try my absolute hardest is not to eat any bread, rice, oatmeal or eat too many potatoes. I feel for me especially the carbs spike my sugar levels that then make me crave food all day. Since I’ve restricted them heavily I’m able to control my cravings better. I also drink a ton of water.
Another thing that I forgot to mention is that miso soup is also very low in calories and I I eat that often with some green tea.
If your lucky enough to have an Asian store nearby they a lot of time have low calorie snacks and even lower cal rice cakes than the standard ones in the store. I used to live in Massachusetts and I loved next to one and I got all my foods from there, most were very low cals and very filling. As always look at the nutrition labels and try to plan ahead accordingly. So you’re not struck in the moment on what to eat and end up binging.
Stay safe lovely’s and feel free to ask me for clarity on anything. 💖

Hey y'all. Update on me.
So my health has more or less bounced back from the damage done by that medication I had to quit. I'm starting a new eating program with my husband today. I won't describe it because I don't want to trigger anyone who might have an eating disorder but I promise it's a healthy change even if it does have a number of restrictions so y'all don't need to worry about that. I will say though that I have to quit the energy drinks and can't have any alcohol on this diet. I can easily live without the alcohol but I need my caffeine so now I have to get it from unsweetened tea since I don't like black coffee. Thankfully, tea with fruit ingredients is allowed so I'm drinking a highly caffeinated green tea with peach flavoring. (it's the Energy Green Tea from Celestial Seasonings if anyone wants to try it! I don't recommend the Energy Black Tea because while it has vanilla flavor in it, it gets so bitter if you steep it the recommended time and then there's no saving it. Blegh.)
Again, I want to thank all of y'all for your support and help when I was at rock bottom a few months ago. I don't think I could have gotten through it without you, so thank you.
Our financial situation is Not Great at the moment, but it will soon get better, I'm sure. We won't be spending extra money ordering delivery or going out to eat, I have gotten back into my crochet work and reopened my Etsy shop(there's not much in it atm but I'm hoping to be able to list items on a more regular basis) so I will be bringing in a little extra that we can use to get groceries or my meds or whatever, and my husband is currently in school to get his CDL, which once he has it and can actually drive the trucks at his workplace, he'll be paid much more than he is currently. We had to spend all the money he had saved to get my mother a new engine for her car, which was a whole unpleasant fiasco that I won't get into, but we'll soon be able to start saving again, and we're going to try to save up for a down payment on a house, or a better car for my husband. Big plans on the horizon.
Heavier stuff.
I know a lot of my American followers are upset to say the least about the recent actions of the Supreme Court. I am too. I'm angry and scared, and I know a lot of y'all are too. Do whatever you need to stay safe. It's a terrifying time to be in right now. I can't really express exactly how I feel about it, the fear and anger. At this point, I think any and all paranoia towards the government is completely justified, and I say this as someone who has had literal paranoid delusions about the government. Again, do whatever is necessary to keep yourself safe. There are people out there who know more about how to stay safe right now than my ADHD brain is capable of retaining so keep an eye out for anything useful.
I can't promise to make content regularly at the present time as I have a lot on my plate between house spouse responsibilities, crochet work, and trying to keep up with my personal wellness plan(or at least get it rolling into action) but any time I get inspiration I'll try to make and post something. In the meantime, feel free to send in your requests but be aware I might not be able to get to them in a timely manner. I know I have a couple that have been sitting in my inbox for a long time and I deeply apologize for not getting to them yet but I'll try to when my head is less tired and more clear. I've been battling a migraine for the last few hours and the brain fog and fatigue are starting to set in. I might go to bed early tonight. I'll try to get a crochet thing started at least. Lots to do over the weekend too.
Much love to all of you.
Stay determined. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜

Not 100% doll related, but the funny thing to me is the relation to dolls. I have adhd and very likely autism so my special interest is dolls, specifically bjds, so literally nothing gets me more excited than doll stuff. I will literally like wait by the door if I know a package is coming, so usually the highlight of my day/week is whatever doll stuff came in (clothes/furniture/dolls) and I’ll be really excited about stuff coming in and not think about anything else. This is where it’s not dolls really. This week so far I’ve had a big package of doll clothes come which is SUPER exciting and in a few days I’ll have more doll clothes and some doll furniture stuff coming in, but something unexpected has usurped my excitement and attention.
I have sensory issues, specifically with smells and tastes/textures, and in my house our dishes smell vomitous to me after they’ve been in the dishwasher or if it’s humid at all (or if mist is rolling in from the beach) it’s such a terrible smell it makes me gag and my eyes water and if I have to empty the dishwasher (which is my job as I live in my house with my family (I am an adult) with my parents and my autistic adult brother so we all have assigned tasks so we all pitch in) it sometimes makes me want to harm myself to make the smell stop it’s so bad. I keep candles in the cabinets to neutralize the smell but lately it’s been really bad where I can’t eat off of anything but paper plates and even the silverware smells, so my parents didn’t want me to suffer (or complain anymore lol) so my mom bought these biodegradable plastic dish sets (bowls, plates, flatware, and mugs (super important bc I haven’t used a mug in sooooo long bc they smell so bad)) so they won’t absorb the smell and I thought that this would just be a nice thing, nothing exciting. I had to wash them all and make room in the cabinets, so I thought I wouldn’t enjoy them much, but OMG I love them soooooo much!
They’re kind of childish I guess but it makes eating and drinking really fun for me and I love the textures and the lightweightness and the fun colors (pink blue cream and green) I’m so obsessed that I keep making coffee and tea to be able to use my pink mug and it’s so nice to be able to enjoy food on dishes with actual forks and spoons and stuff. I’m so excited by them I actually completely forgot about my dolls for a while which NEVER happens. I feel like I don’t even care about the packages coming tomorrow because I have my special pink mug it’s actually making me want to do the dishes so I can keep using the pink set bc I love pink!
Anyway, this is just me gushing about stupid stuff that makes me stupid happy lol and it makes me wonder to any of the other ND bjd collectors, if dolls are your special thing, have you ever had anything like silly that made you so happy you forgot about doll stuff? Dolls consume pretty much my every moment most of the time, but now I’m just excited about dishes lol I have work to do and I just want to keep coming up with reasons to use my mug lol when usually I’m looking for reasons to play with my dolls.
Tl:dr: dolls are my special interest, but this week I got new dishes and I’m in love with my mug lol
