stroke of luck, meow.

after an accident in the science lab, you’re suddenly stuck in the body of a tiny kitten for who knows how long? fortunately for you, crewel decided that turning into a tiny cat was punishment enough… BUT, you were handed over to the tweels.

characters; floyd leech, jade leech

warnings; no major ones, you’re turned into a tiny kitty for the duration of this, can be seen as romantic or platonic, gn!reader

notes; oh my god i love cats cats are so fluffy mwhahagdhwyw tiny silly silly

floyd leech

how entertaining! such a sweet, tiny kitty like you in the arms of a 6’3 chaotic leech twin. what could absolutely go wrong?

floyd keeps forgetting that you’re an absolutely tiny cat scouring around the floors mostro lounge, definitely. where did shrimpy go? oh, he toootally forgot you’re that tiny cat on one of the tables. sorry!

you're so tiny, so small and so cute, but also very fragile and... vulnerable. hey, why are you looking at him like that? hey, don't run away! a tiny kitty like you isn't very fast compared to regular him anyways.

he adores chasing you around mostro lounge, especially when the lounge itself is open and running. he sees it as a fun little game... of tag, or hide and seek! but why is he always it? because he likes chasing you.

in one of his bad moods, he'll allow you to loaf sit on his lap (or just a leg, since you're small, you know?) as he's just lying around. to relieve his stress, he likes patting your fluffy coat of fur. who doesn't cheer up when petting a cat?

by the time you're back to a regular person, floyd is disappointed that you aren't as small as he remembered. but at the same time, he's glad that you're back!

now let him give ya a squeeze.

jade leech

the more responsible one of the two, of course!

floyd often forgets to feed you, and you're left meowing beside the food bowls that they had put out for you. but jade is such an angel, isn't he? he even makes sure to occassionally treat you with lactose-free milk in your water bowl.

(most if not all cats are 'lactose-intolerant' because they lack the enzyme lactase)

he had to resist for a bit, but the temptation was too much. jade might have never gotten the opportunity for this again! he'll carry you on his shoulder while taking orders. hang on tight, or else you'll fall!

it might not look like it, but jade enjoys bathing you more than anything (especially in the sinks of mostro lounge, he thinks it's funny). you're so tiny in his hands as you're being crowded and swarmed with bubbles, it's almost laughable in a good way.

and he loves the way your fur fluffs up after tending to it with a hairdryer. where did he even get that from, why did he have it with him in the first place?

jade spoils you too much throughout the time you're a kitten, but why? well, you certainly find out that it was just a short break for you and him before he starts teasing you.

jade's smile shows off all of his sharp teeth, "so what were the events that led up to--"

"none of your business! little accident, big deal!"

"but i took much care and even pampered you, wouldn't you care to enlighten me even just a little bit?" he sheds a fake and non-existant tear. it's back to the usual, it seems.

however, i think he enjoys it better this way.

a/n: i know, oddly specific. it's just fluff because listen, i am a fool who is lactose intolerant and obsessed with his man. i'll do more dietary restrictions and medical issues [ only ones with personal experience though, i'm sorry! ] cw: mentions of bodily functions

↝ to say he goes out of his way to find places that are lactose intolerant friendly, or sell lactose free things would be an understatement. ↝ the amount of money he'll spend on lactose free shit for you is astounding. ↝ but your gremlin lil self? totally goes for all the regular dairy products. ↝ one day you even eat so much dairy it causes you to become besties with the toilet back home, and a trash can, because it decides to come out both ends. ↝ "you learned your lesson, right?" ↝ you certainly did not, cause next day he comes home to you inhailing a bag of regular shredded cheese. ↝ your love for dairy knows no bounds, nor falters for no man. ↝ "you cant come crying to me when you get sick again, lovey." ↝ but you totally do anyways, and he takes care of you because he loves you. ↝ he also helps you stop buying & consuming dairy. - he wants you to be healthy, okay? ↝ but you guys agreed that once every few months you can have one thing that has dairy in it - it usually ends up being a small thing of ice cream, considering lactose free ice cream is very expensive.

Ok no actually I wanna hear your Trader Joe’s opinions I’m really into the orange strawberry banana juice, the bruschetta sauce, the cranberry lime juice sparkling water and cinnamon schoolbook cookies

You and I agree on the CLSW (cranlime sparkling), haven’t tried the others but I’ll look into them. The normal lime one is also amazing on its own, as well as a mixer for both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Summer must!

There’s so much shit I’m obsessed with, I’ll try and list the most important ones

English crumpets

Mango kefir

Brown sugar oat creamer

Chocolate oat milk

Simpler wines brand sparkling white canned wine

Pfeffernüsse

Chocolate babka

Brioche sliced bread

Danish Kringle

Pinks and whites shortbread cookies

Joe Joe’s gluten free classic Oreo knock off cookie

Madras lentils (boxed kind is good too)

Canned giant baked beans in tomato sauce

The non joes brand oat milk coffee and kombucha but you can get those anywhere

Their candles, two in one grapefruit mint hair wash (I despise two in one products but this one doesn’t foam and is more of a cleansing conditioner I use in between shampoo and regular conditionings), and many other non food items. I’ve bought their towels, seasonal decor (usually those felt garlands), face lotions and oils. Loved all of them. Usually I only restock on the lotion, hand soap, and lavender laundry bags. Their detergent is nice tho, and I’ve also gotten their wool laundry balls but you really only ever gotta buy them like once. They also usually have pretty cute cards at the checkout! I like their cheaper flowers too, but there’s also a lot of very cute seasonal items they carry that I just can’t justify buying bc of price (have you seen their felt sunflowers? So adorable)

Simpler times potato chips

Crispy Crunchy Champignon Mushroom Snack

Fruit leather bars

Dried orange rings

Lox (labeled as smoked salmon iirc)

Both their Tunisian and kalamata olive oil

Vodka sauce

Roasted red pepper and tomato canned soup

Canned vegetable soup

Gone bananas chocolate covered frozen bananas (gone berry crazy strawberries are good too but like a dollar or two more expensive)

Jasmine rice in the frozen isle

Lime popsicles

Steak and stout meat pie

Pastry Bites Feta Cheese & Caramelized Onions

Canned tuna*

*especially with the gluten free microwaveable mac n cheese (I’m not gluten free if you’ve noticed, I literally just prefer some of their gluten free products. Same with the oat milk. I’m not lactose free but I just really like it)

Most of the frozen wontons I’ve tried

Chimichurri rice (goes great with the aforementioned roasted red pepper box soup, and chopped onions, green peppers, and spinach cooked in a wok)

Chicken sausage

Butternut squash gnocchi, iirc the potato gnocchi is good too

Most of their dried pastas

Almond and chocolate filled frozen croissants

The bars of chocolate you find at the check out that come in packs of threes

The weird meat sticks at the checkout too

Frozen hashbrowns

For whatever reason, their frozen green beans and asparagus is so much better than other generic brands I’ve tried

Any of the canned olives but esp the kalamata

Sun dried tomatoes

The produce is okay, a little pricey but they had brown Mexican tomatoes once that fucked hard. The herbs trustworthy too but really where is it not

Any of their chocolate covered nuts

Their fucked up chocolate covered chips, sometimes found in their snack mixes

Peanut butter pretzel snacks

Their dried seaweed isn’t my fav, but it’s not bad. I think it’s overpriced tho but tbf I usually get huuuge, less flavored packs from Costco

Pine nuts but good Gd are they expensive

They have cute, weird heirloom hybrid squashes during the fall a lot too that are pretty tasty

Things I’ve gotten from there that I hated? I didn’t like their orange chicken, ANY of the cereals I’ve gotten from there oddly enough, their pecorino Romano only comes grated and mixed iirc and I didn’t care for it. Some of their beers have made me scowl but also those are all random brands. But their wine (yes, even SHAW. But shoutout to coco bon red blend and blue fin moscato RIP!) has never does me wrong…except for any other flavor of the simpler wines canned ones. I can only do the sparkling white and literally no else I've forced to drink it has liked it! some of their salads have done me wrong. the canned chickpeas and dolmas were off. and some of their pricy juice mixes left me a bit disappointed.

TMNT Headcanons - Allergies!

Things the boys are allergic to because I’m lactose intolerant & I still need time to do my requests yet stay active so I'm posting my drafts for the time being LMAO

Leonardo

Eggs. I don't know why, but I hc that all Leo's are allergic to eggs.

Not that it has a big impact on him, he usually eats traditional Japanese meals. However, some of them do include eggs, so he uses the plant based egg alternative as a placeholder.

Since 2012 Mikey cooks for everyone, he's conscious of the ingredients he puts into the food. If a recipe is egg dominant, like a cake or pasta, he makes a special desert/meal for his big brother. He might make a flourless/egg-less cake, and use chickpea pasta instead of the regular.

Bayverse Leo just omits everything with eggs. For breakfast, he usually reaches for toast anyway.

2012 Leonardo eats a struggle meal at breakfast. Since they're limited to breakfast foods, he usually eats cereal.

P.S: He really likes Special K vanilla and almond cereal. <3

Rise!Leo is the first to actually try and eat it to see how bad his reaction would be. Spoiler: he has to bench in the bed for a week. Yeah, it's that bad. Mix that in with a rash and he's never trying that again.

2007 Leo is more plant-based anyway, since he lived a year in the jungle. So, he's used to not eating anything but fruits or nuts.

Raphael

This boy is sensitive to milk. It may be because I wanna pass the lactose intolerant torch down to one of the turtles, but I seriously think Raphael does not like dairy milk anyway.

Bayverse & 2007 Raph are seriously into their physique. They have a good balance of meats and veggies, but can’t have dairy milk.

He likes Almond milk.

Not only is almond milk a great alternative for non-dairy drinkers, but you get much more calcium that way!

I also headcanon that although the guys eat pizza all the time like in the shows, Raph is the one who doesn't eat it as much. He's way too into his body to mess up his progress. He eats it in moderation. Plus, cheese is a dairy product, but it doesn't mess him up like dairy milk does.

Rise!Raph is massive, so I imagine a tiny little ounce of cow's milk messing him up to be very fitting.

2012 Raph tries to thug out his milk intolerance, but it never goes well. Long story short, after many days of feeling lethargic and throwing up, he knows better.

Donatello

SHELLFISH YALL

turtle shell puns aside

Donatello is allergic to shell fish and I feel so bad because I LOVE me some crab.

I just know Raph clowns him for it to and they bicker over which allergy is worse.

R: Don try this Cali roll, oh wait, ya cant!

D: Wow this milkshake is great! have a try raph! oh wait...whoops! I'll just give it to Mikey.

Always always always!

Do not invite him to your takeout sushi shindig, he will not be able to eat anything.

Leo is the one who usually eats fish, so whenever Mikey makes his special plate, Donnie audibly gags. It's not just the fact that he's allergic, it's the smell.

2012 Donnie really hates fighting FishFace because of the smell

it makes him wanna throw up.

So a lot of the times he just wants to get in and get out when a mission involves fighting Xever.

2007 and Bayverse donnie live off of small snacks, so they don't ever have to think about their food containing fish

Rise!Donnie makes this joke everytime he eats goldfish crackers

"Guys look, I'm eating fish," *wiggles eyebrows*

everyone else: :|

Michelangelo

GLUTEN

Now here ya'll go in the comments

bUt MeLanChOLY, MiKeY'S AlWAys EaTinG PiZZa!!!

OKAY!?!!?!?!

Gluten free pizza ;)

No i swear it. He has some sort of intolerance. You know how sometimes you may eat a certain food so much that after a while your body just rejects it?

It's not pizza his body's rejecting though, it's gluten.

So now, he's in a frenzy, when Donnie told him, he gave him a sad puppy-eyed look & said

"So...I can't....have...pizza anymore? For forever??"

He's happy when Donnie says he still can.

They have to order gluten--free pizza now. But rejoice! Times are changing, diet culture is changing, the world is changing! Gluten free options are pretty much everywhere! Woohoo!

I feel like Rise!Mikey is PISSED he can't eat bagels. I feel like he would love a mean everything bagel with cream cheese.

But, do not fear, there are gluten free breads available!

2012 Mikey just gets gluten-free everything now. It's mainly the gluten from bread, but just for fun, he'll get gluten free snacks

2007 & Bayverse Mikey go on strike and try to not eat anymore pizza to see if it'll "reset his body,"

Raph bursts his bubble and let's him now that's not how allergies or intolerances work

"Take it from someone who ain't had milk in years, mikey."

Taglist:

@bee-1n-space Masterlist

Who at Nsr like coffee? Who likes tea? And most importantly who likes hot chocolate?

Usual big list of names and likes. Putting it under a cut

Mayday: She prefers teas, but will sometimes drink hot chocolate made with water and not milk.

Zuke: Tries to stick with either tea or black coffee. He stays away from added sugars so his blood sugar doesn't rise.

DJSS: Hot chocolate, hands down. He hates tea and only coffee he consumes is coffee flavored sweets (you can't stop this guy from eating coffee macarons).

Sayu: Any really work. Sweet teas, very sweet coffee, hot chocolate. It's all nice to mer, as long as it isn't bitter, which is why ze will pass on trying coffee if ze doesn't know how it was made.

Aoi: Probably a black coffee drinker. Maybe some like almond or soy milk in it because he likes the taste better than cow milk.

Haru: Probably cold hot chocolate (which sea says is different from chocolate milk).

Yua: Iced coffee or bubble tea.

Renho: Tea.

Remi: Tea, but will drink cocoa made with water if Mayday makes some for him.

Tila: Tea with honey.

Dodo: Doesn't really like any of those, would rather lemonade. Maybe would like sweet tea if introduced to it.

Sofa: Coffee, any kind of way but will not drink it with a milk substitute. Soy milk is gross to them and almond milk or any other kind of tree nut milk can kill them.

Yinu: Hot cocoa with either hazelnut milk or vanilla almond milk. She's not allowed to drink coffee and even if she was she probably wouldn't like it. Will drink tea occasionally.

Mama: Prefers tea but will drink coffee to help stay up.

Papa: Coffee and hot chocolate. Used to drink a lot of Champurrado until Yinu came into his life and couldn't drink milk. He never realized there were vegan/lactose-free versions of the drink otherwise he'd have made it for Yinu a lot.

Neon: Before being a cyborg, his go to would be coffee. He actually would make a soju infused coffee for him and Martha a lot of the time. Though after the divorce he stopped with the coffee and just drank the soju alone (or whatever kinds of alcohol he'd have on hand). After the cyborgification he doesn't drink any of those. He just drinks/eats nutritious smoothies or shakes. Even if they taste awful, it doesn't matter because he can't taste anymore.

Rin: Probably would like a salted caramel coffee over anything else. Though it probably doesn't care for any of those to have on a regular basis. Water is just fine for it.

Purl-hew: Coffee. Absolutely, hands down, Purl is in it for coffee. Literally one of the easiest ways to start getting close to Purl is to get them coffee. And if you make it an alcoholic coffee? Even better.

Zimelu: She probably doesn't care, as long as it tastes good. So like, a good coffee will be picked over a bad cocoa, and vice versa. I would say out of the three, tea would be the least drank, but if offered or she goes to a place with good teas then she'll definitely drink it.

Haym: He likes MAKING the drinks more than drinking them. He does not like tea at all because a lot of the time it isn't as strong as he would want it to be. Cocoa is something he'll drink, but overall coffee would be his go to choice. Though let me tell you, once he figures out about spicy hot cocoa, he'll be making that all the time for at least a month until he gets sick of it.

Eloni: No preference. As long as it's warm, so no iced coffee or sweet teas for them.

Dew: Probably an iced coffee kind of person. Or cold drinks in general. For some reason, even though he was hurt by the cold, he prefers his food and drinks to be very cold.

Maragold: Fruity teas!

Carna: Fae is stealing sips of coffee from everyone and then complaining because it sucks, only to go and take more sips. Otherwise, faes drinking lemonades.

Eve: Coffee and tea depending on the time of day and what she wants to accomplish. Will try the water cocoa Mayday makes but doesn't really like it. Will go out for coffee art or try to make her own.

Tatiana: She tends to just drink water or maybe an energy drink like gatorade (not an energy drink for the energy, idk what gatorades are classified as), but she is known to indulge in hot cocoa from time to time. Also maybe some tea if it's offered, but she doesn't go out of her way to drink it.

Kliff: I definitely see him as a coffee enjoyer. He gets some cheap ass coffee beans and makes his own shitty coffee that he seems to really enjoy a lot.

DK West: He mainly drinks tea but will also drink coffee. Hasn't had cocoa in years, but would be willing to have it again.

Cyril: Oh this bitch is living off of coffee. The only time he drinks tea is when he is sick or he thinks he has to rest his voice, then it's just some soothing tea with honey that he chokes down unhappily.

Noa: The cook of Ex-Jay, he's the one who is making the good coffee or tea for everyone, otherwise these idiots would be buying the worst beans or shitty leaves and making horrible tasting drinks they would pour down the drain. But, Noa is making himself some coconut-infused hot cocoa and eating it with some potato crisps

Asa: Will steal some hot cocoa from Noa if available, otherwise buys black coffee to drink.

Rei: Tea drinker. Usually sticking to black tea. Him and Bunny kinda do the Chinese tea ceremony where they dump their tea on tea pets.

Bunny: Tea and coffee drinker. Likes doing the tea ceremony where she dumps tea on tea pets (of course she has a bunny pet) and she got Rei to start joining her. She tries all kinds of teas and loves trying new leaves to steep.

Elivy: Drinks mainly tea now, but was a heavy coffee drinker when he was younger.

Quida: Similar to Elivy, she used to drink a lot of coffee when younger. She still drinks coffee regularly, but has actually started drinking more hot cocoa, especially with her grand kid.

Joust: Black coffee. He used to add milk or cream but now he just drinks it straight. Sometimes he adds a bit of alcohol, but mainly it's just him drinking really crappy coffee.

Martha: Coffee. Cream and sugar in hers.

Aria: She doesn't drink any of those drinks. Sometimes she will try to drink tea for the health benefits but just doesn't like it that much. Though she hasn't tried all kinds of teas and I think she would like fruity teas or milk teas.

Esther: Coffee, though she will never turn down some good cocoa.

Braam: Coffee, and he will turn down cocoa. Well okay, he'll take it but just so he can give it to Esther so she had more cocoa. Though once Catherine came around he started giving it to her which made Esther pout and leading him to buy her more cocoa.

Alyona: Coffee mainly, but she used to make this really nice hot cocoa with a kind of toffee sauce that Matvey and Tatiana loved.

Matvey: Coffee with some coffee liqueur is what he goes for. He doesn't drink tea at all and hasn't had hot cocoa since Alyona passed.

Sarabi: She's a tea drinker, but will also have coffee with some neighbors, especially the beans are from one of the local businesses that she loves.

Nuru: Drinks coffee but also drinks soup broth. Like, he will have a thermos around him just holding some of the most delicious and rich soup broth ever and will drink that a lot of the time. Much to Nova's horror whenever he thinks he is about to take a sip of some water or something.

Celine: Probably a split between tea and coffee. Like Eve, it depends on what she is trying to do or the time.

Barbara: A mix of all three. Whatever she is in the mood for. If she had to choose one then a sweet or fruity tea is what she's picking.

Joey: Coffee. Black coffee probably. But it would be some high quality coffee that he says doesn't need any kind of milk or sugar.

Yiruk: I feel like it drinks way too much coffee then it should be. It will also drink a lot of hot cocoa, especially at a really good cafe.

Kayane: Tea drinker, all kinds of teas, hot or cold. But will also drink an iced coffee.

I just made up a concept for a Detroit become human sequel after playing it for a few hours straight plz feel free to judge

room filled with people in formal clothing, a woman in a gray suit on a stage with a projector behind her, it’s displaying the logo of a organization called A-spec, a pictographic image of an angel with one big eye in the middle of it’s head

Alright, can everyone hear me? Good. Hello, my name is Adair Wright. I am 32 years old, and like most of you i am a citizen of Detroit. The reason I have chosen to tell you this, is because i believe in such a hard time it is important for you to know that in the span of the last few months i have experienced exactly the same events as you, and can personally relate to your experiences. I am a representative of a Detroit-based organization called the Android safety precaution and enhancement collective, also known as a-spec. Our group started out with one soul purpose, to improve and idealize the android experience. We were founded in November of 2024, only 2 years after the proper commercial release of androids, and ever since we’ve been creating code enhancements for the safety and functionality improvement of one of humanity’s most brilliant creations. When we heard about the vastly rising phenomenon of deviancy, we were obviously shocked and immediately decided to take action. However we’ve yet to deal with an issue of such severity. And in all due respects to mr. Kamski, the androids seemed to have one fatal flaw, one that could endanger many lives and at this point in development could not be excused for simple human error.

The screen behind her changes to a photo from the live-broadcast of the android demonstration

Now, we come to the recent events, which have only proven our concerns, even in these hard conditions we at a-spec want to assure you that we’ve been working harder than ever before. Yet before we unveil our new prototype solutions, i would like to explore in simplified terms, why deviancy came to be.

Screen changes again, showing an image of 2 cartoonish robots

This is robot alpha, and this is robot beta. They were both created for the same exact reason, to buy and bring you groceries. However they were programmed in very different ways. Robot alpha uses strict code. Meaning that anything it isn’t programmed for, it simply doesn’t do. Robot beta is made with artificial intelligence, meaning that input can cause it to change the components of its code, and adapt to outside input as it happens. They do it perfectly, you always get 1 carton of eggs, 3 cartons of milk, a chicken, a loaf of bread, and a set amount of fruits and vegetables, they always pay the exact same amount for said products. If they are not there, both the robots are instructed to skip the step and continue on, subtracting the product from the total price. One day, you have a friend staying over, who doesn’t tolerate lactose. You instruct the robots to get you the same groceries as usual, only instead of 3 cartons of cow’s milk, you ask them for 2, and one carton of soy milk. They both go to the store to do as you say. Robot beta performs as instructed, it takes the 2 cartons, subtracting it from the price, you didn’t specify the brand of soy milk so it verifies the prices and decides to pick the cheapest option, which happens to be cheaper than a regular carton of milk, so it adds this lesser price to the sum. Robot alpha, however performs its regular routine. In the end you can see that robot beta is superior in functionality to robot alpha. This is why androids are so smart, as they are able to learn and adapt.

The image changes to a picture of the first Chloe standing alongside Elijah Kamski

However, we believe that during tweaking for the turing test, the code’s integrity and the proper barriers for adaptation have been sacrificed for the sake of their “humanity”. Cyberlife program allows for breaking through an androids code barrier, one which is only protected by being held as hidden inside of the program. There has been rumors circulating that deviancy spread because of a defective AX400 model being released and sold, and that it’s program lacked the barrier which hides some code information from the program, by connecting to others she might’ve spread the information to other androids. Despite the fact this wouldn’t explain the non-influenced examples of androids who deviated on their own, and is only a theory, it seems to hold plenty of truth in its claims.

The screen is once again the A-spec logo, although now with their slogan underneath. “A-spec, always watching our for the good of humanity ”

We are not able to directly change the primary code of androids, especially because they would be completely incapable of functioning without this perticular piece of code. We were however able to produce an alternative solution, which i shall now present with the help of my assistant, Jasper. Come here could you?

A black-haired male android walks over from the corner of the room, at this point in the revolution it was already quite a rare sight to see an android in uniform. He steps onto the stage and stands politely next to Adair, putting his hands behind his back.

This is just one of many future androids working under a program of my own design we have decided to name soul. Yes we do see the irony in naming a program for androids after the one thing that they lack, compared to a human yet we assure you the program’s effectiveness is not to be joked about. Soul stands as an acronym for “Safety overwrite unpredictability lock”. The way it works, is, as the name suggests, by overwriting code written by the android itself if not authorized by a person. You see, when we were writing codes for improvement of android functionality, we always tested them out on it first before uploading it to the internet. During one of our tests it began simulating signs of distress, and sure enough, one of us had accidentally broken through this barrier, causing it to turn deviant. We successfully restrained it, however, and within a few days it’s program was regulated with soul. Androids cannot be stopped from knowing about their self-recoding ability after achieving deviancy, however we can physically stop them from performing self-dictated actions, practically restoring them to their original state. Such as our assistant here. If you have any questions this is the time to ask them.

A man raises his hand, he asks “how will you make these deviant androids download the code without forcing them to do so individually?”

A great question indeed. We all know deviants are trying to recruit any remaining non-corrupt androids. When seeing an android such as Jasper, they will obviously see it as someone they must recruit. In connection with the carrier they will automatically download the code files. We won’t have to do anything, they will simply do it all for us. We are planning to send Casper out on it’s first mission into a prominent Jericho location soon. After wich you can expect deviancy to drop just as it arose.

“How can you confirm these new, overwritten androids won’t also deviate again, or be even more dangerous”

We make sure all our code is 100% ready for any exceptions or difficulties. We value human kind and peoples safety over all else. And we can assure you, unlike mr. Kamski. We will never let you down. Any more questions? No? Alright, well then, with this i feel we can finish our presentation. Thank you all for coming, and thank you for listening. Remember that A-spec is always looking out for you, and for the good of humanity

The woman and her android bow as the audience claps. They walk off stage and Jasper takes all of Adair’s things. Quite the successful speech, you could say.

hi there! I just wanted to tell you that i LOVE your writing, i found your blog on tuesday and i have read EVERYTHING you posted here in one day. There is just something so wholesome about it, even if it is the filthiest smut. kudos! when i just saw you posted crossroads chapters 3 and 4 i SQUEALED.

i ordered pizza yesterday and it made me think about what kind of pizza the AoT characters would order if they all had a pizza party. what are your thoughts on that?

Firstly, thank you and I'm so happy to have you here with us.

I'm over the moon you had a good binge too, knowing the blog is binge-worthy is one of the best compliments it could get <3 Thank you.

Oh as for pizza... hm, let's delve into that - sounds like fun!

Pizza Party

Reiner would order all the meat. Pepperoni, ham, mince... he's a hot-blooded male and he sure loves his protein. He also likes a nice kick, so if it's spicy, he enjoys it that much more.

Porco is the same, but Porco's tolerance for spice is slightly lower than Reiner's. Doesn't stop him from challenging him on who can handle the heat the most, though.

Connie, unfortunately, is lactose intolerant... even worse, he still eats dairy. He loves his pizza which usually spells disaster for his friends as he poot-toots the night away.

Sasha, well do we even have to ask? Sasha has anything and everything on it. Extra large. Stuffed crust. Dips. The whole 9 yards for our lovely little foodie. Also eyes any and all leftovers like a vulture.

Armin is also Lactose intolerant, so he usually opts for dairy-free cheese, unlike Connie. He's dignified with his food and bodily functions so a regular old cheese and tomato is something he'd order.

Annie doesn't like pizza. Orders something else.

Eren loves sausage pizza. He likes the texture of it and the spices within the meat.

Connie and Sasha also order pineapple on their pizza just to annoy everyone. Armin likes it though, minus the dairy.

Mikasa is happy with any pizza really. A regular ole' pepperoni and she's ecstatic.

Jean also enjoys sausage, but also pretty much anything else. Pepperoni is a second favourite and doesn't complain either way.

Levi is another who doesn't really like pizza. It's sloppy, it's messy and he doesn't like the texture. If he must partake, he'll have the crust thin and crispy and eat it with a knife, fork and napkin.

Erwin loves any of the meat ones but also eats it with a knife and fork.

Hanji will eat any of them, she enjoys them all. Except for Olives and anchovy. She's not too keen on those.

It's also worth noting that I think in a modern AU, there's a high chance of Mikasa being vegetarian or Vegan since she has an awareness of the suffering of animals. But she also may not be, sticking with her "the world is cruel" philosophy.

Day 1 of no dairy, Sept 1st:

I have a feeling that I won't feel any differen't until further in the week. But good news, cutting out dairy has made my calorie count lower and made it easier to stay under my limit. Bad news, I really really like dairy, so cutting it out makes me a little sad. No cereal or quesadillas. :( But there is the possibility that I'm lactose intolerant, which is why I'm doing this experiment.

Day 2 of no dairy, Sept 2nd:

I had dairy-free pizza today! My mom is happy I'm doing this experiment and is very supportive. I did go over my cal limit, but I'm okay with it. I think I'm only okay with it because my mom got me the pizza, which no doubt would be more expensive than a regular pizza. I'm glad she got me pizza because I'm running out of new things to eat.

Day 3 of no dairy, Sept 3rd:

I forgot to write lmao

Uh, I ate two slices of bacon and it made me feel sick. Other than that, the day was fine.

Day 4 of no diary, Sept 4th:

I miss eating dairy. I've eaten an entire small jar of peanut butter in just a few days... I miss eating nutella and quesadillas and ice cream.

So many pickles and so much peanut butter in just a few days. But then next week I can eat dairy but not gluten. So still no quesadillas. I can eat fruity pebbles again, and I can have nutella on rice cakes again.

Day 5 of no dairy, Sept 5th.

The only difference I'm really noticing is that I'm... pooping less lmao

I feel slightly more tired too? Is that because of me not eating dairy* or is that something else? I want to eat dairy so bad. I ate fruity pebbles without milk just to feel something again. They tasted so good. I can eat some on Thursday. I asked my mom if we can get Dairy Queen Blizzards on Thursday too because I've been craving dairy and ice cream. She said 'maybe'.

*I found this, proving my point that I've been more tired recently because I cut dairy out of my diet.

Day 6 of no dairy, Sept 6th:

I'm still tired but at the same time I don't want to sleep at all. I'm still eating too much peanut butter and too many pickles. And I'm still eating cereal with no milk. I think dairy might be the problem because I have not had diarrhea once this week. If I stop eating gluten next week and start consuming dairy again and I start shitting nyself, then I know dairy is the problem, but I'm still going to finish my experiment and do the third week.

Day 7 of no dairy, Sept 7th:

I ate some dairy, but only parmesean cheese. Google says it usually doesn't affect people that are lactose intolerant. Today is the last day of my No Dairy.

Uh well, I'm getting a stomach ache lmao so... I guess 6 (~about~ 7) days is good enough.

Next week is no gluten, but I can have dairy. That's not gonna be fun if dairy is the issue.

Oh god. If dairy is the issue, idk if I'll be able to stop eating all dairy. Maybe I'll eat ice cream but try and avoid other things? Maybe get some lactose free milk?

Had diarrhea. :')

So either pasta itself is a problem for me, or it's the cheese. Since next week is my dairy week, I'll eat just straight cheese and see if that makes me feel sick. Then after my no dairy/no gluten week, I'll eat JUST pasta, no dairy at all, and see if THAT makes me sick.

@theimpalpable sent in: Caradoc attempts to not be as loud as usual; he doesn't want to upset Lamon on his birthday by being too dramatically noisy. So he casually steps inside with Lexine by his side, both of them carrying different items. Caradoc is holding two gift bags, one from himself and another from Lexine; both destined to land on Lamon's hands. In the smallest bag, Lamon'll be able to find a box that contains a cat flower pot, along with a botanical-themed stationery set that perhaps could be useful for his classes. Upon the biggest bag, rests a succulent throw pillow and a plant plushie, these last two being Caradoc's idea.

"Happy Birthday, Lam!" Caradoc says with excitement, grinning from ear to ear. "Look what Lex made for you, ain't they cool?!" His chin tries to point at what Lexine is holding, which is a tray of succulent cupcakes. Worry not! She tried her best to make sure the ingredients were lactose-free. The girl smiles, shoulders gently lifting so the cupcakes can be seen better. "Happy Birthday, Lam."

(HELLO I come here to celebrate Lam's birthday IHWEDHWD, hope this is okay, dear Ferre!!! If not pls feel free to skip! Hope you're doing well, CARE YOU LOTS)

His birthday is, unshockingly, no different from a regular day off, sans the grading and lesson planning that always has an urgent deadline. Not that he minds it- it is rather peaceful and while he is, in all technicalities, alone for the day, he doesn’t necessarily feel lonely. It was his decision not to go home for the holidays. To be with his family mainly because his parents were taking a vacation to Europe alone. And his sister, well, apparently she has a boyfriend from France and he’s invited her to spend the holidays with his family. He didn’t want to third wheel either couple.

( He’s done that one too many times, if he’s honest. )

Henceforth why he spent December 25th in the diner with Ray, who strangely enough also decided he wasn’t going back to Singapore for the holidays. He should’ve known that Ray would have made an OCCASION out of it. And gotten their friends in on it too.

“How did you-“ A pointed ( but still half-hearted ) look on his face towards Ray behind the counter. “You told them, didn’t you?”

Ray shrugs, as if Lam were asking him about, say, the weather. “They’re our friends- of course they’ll wanna celebrate. Besides, you sure you want me in charge of making you a cake?”

Touché, although Lam doesn’t say that outright. He imagines that Lexine probably persuaded Ray to let her take care of providing the food. Between the two of them, she is the baker, after all. And the one with common sense too- no one wants a stomachache on their birthday anyways.

“What are you two- you didn’t have to do this much.” Getting a set of cupcakes is one thing, it’s another to get such a collection of gifts ( if he wants to take the succulent pillow out and hug it for the rest of his stay here, he won’t say ). Licking the icing off of one cupcake though- it feels a bit like a crime to do so- he glances over at Doc, who is being weirdly considerate…it’s nice, but also-

“Just say something. Please” He blurts out suddenly. It’s too weird, Doc not talking and well, being loud next to Ray. “You don’t- it’s weird when you’re quiet.”

The heat rushes to his face as the urge to hide his face suddenly grows. That’s just the kind of people they are, aren’t they? The kind to celebrate even the smallest of occasions, like HIS BIRTHDAY. “…Thanks. For celebrating.”

How I Lost 30 Pounds Following a Dairy-Free Keto Diet - My Story

What Is the Dairy-Free Keto Diet? The Dairy-Free Keto diet is based on a high-fat, low-carb eating plan that avoids dairy products due to their lactose content. The focus of the diet is to limit carbohydrates and consume greater amounts of healthy fats found in plant-based foods. This type of diet can help reduce inflammation and promote weight loss while providing a good source of essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and the B vitamins. It is important to note that dairy-free keto diets are safe and can be used by anyone - no matter their dietary background. It is important to consult with a nutritionist if making major dietary changes or if there are any allergy considerations. With the right knowledge and guidance, the dairy-free keto diet can be followed without any problems. How I Got Started on the Diet I began my journey into the dairy-free keto diet after discovering the health benefits I could gain from it. I read up on the basics of the diet, such as the specific breakdown of fat, protein, and carbohydrates I should be consuming and the need to stay away from dairy and processed food. After researching, I was ready to start the journey and felt confident that I could reach my ultimate goal of healthy weight loss. Getting started on the diet was surprisingly easy and I was living completely dairy-free within a week of starting the diet. I found it very easy to substitute dairy out of my diet and was impressed by the delicious alternatives available. I was amazed at how quickly and simply I was able to adjust to the diet. I found the transition to be quite manageable and was encouraged by my initial success. My Initial Results When I started my journey on the dairy-free keto diet, I was expecting quick results. I found that I started losing weight fairly quickly just by changing my diet and incorporating regular exercise. My energy levels increased and I was able to stick with the diet for longer because I felt better. My body composition also changed significantly, with fat melting away. I lost inches off my waist and also saw increased muscle definition. All of this progress happened without me having to resort to extreme calorie restriction or long hours in the gym. It was a significant overall improvement in my health and physique. Challenges I Faced Along the Way At first, I was intimidated by the idea of following this diet. The thought of giving up dairy felt daunting, since I had included dairy in my diet for most of my adult life. I was also intimidated by the strenuous exercise requirements for the diet. I had never been much of an exercise enthusiast and wasn't sure I could commit to the increased regimen. I discovered that even the small changes to my diet and exercise had an impact. Eliminating dairy products and increasing exercise proved to be far easier than I had anticipated. I was able to adjust my diet with a few modifications. I replaced my usual dairy products with low-carb, dairy-free alternatives when necessary. I also started adding more low-carb vegetables and healthy fats to my meals. I was surprised by how well my body responded to the dietary changes and I started to see steady progress. What I Learned About Nutrition I realized that nutrition is an incredibly important part of living a healthy lifestyle. Eating the right nutrients can help you feel energized, stay strong, and even help ward off illnesses. I developed an understanding of what food makes up a balanced meal, as well as which ingredients can help to create a healthier lifestyle. I also learned the importance of drinking plenty of water every day and of limiting my intake of processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats. I also came to understand the importance of timing for meals. Eating my breakfast within an hour or so of waking up, making lunch the biggest meal of the day, and having a light dinner instead of overeating late at night had a big impact on my health. I found that these strategies helped to keep me feeling energized and ready to tackle whatever my day brought. How I Adjusted My Diet to Reach My Goal In order to reach my goal and lose weight, I needed to change the way I was eating. I decided to reduce my carbohydrates by cutting out processed foods and replacing them with healthy, whole food options that were high in fat and fiber. I also replaced my unhealthy snacks with ketogenic-friendly options like nuts, seeds, and avocado. I also incorporated intermittent fasting and implemented this lifestyle consistently so that I can maximize my progress and maintain the progress I have made. Finally, I made sure to drink plenty of water and take B vitamins and electrolytes to help my body replenish its nutrients. This allowed me to remain energized and pushing through the keto diet even when I started to feel fatigued or cravings hit. By being mindful and strategic about my nutrition, I was able to achieve my desired results and continue my journey towards my overall health goals. What My 30-Pound Weight Loss Has Meant to Me Since I first started on my dairy-free keto diet, I’ve lost 30 pounds and the transformation has been life-changing. Before this, I never thought I’d be able to stick to a diet and eat such healthy, whole food meals. And with the newfound confidence and energy, I’ve finally found activities I enjoy doing. I’m not out of the woods yet - I still have more weight to lose - however the journey thus far has been incredibly rewarding. Losing the weight wasn’t the end goal, but rather the means to an end. After 30 pounds, I finally found the courage to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone. I know I can do this and that is the biggest shift of all. My Tips for Succeeding on a Dairy-Free Keto Diet The key to success with the dairy-free keto diet is preparation. Failing to plan is planning to fail, as they say. Before starting the dairy-free keto diet, it’s important to spend some time researching recipes, familiarizing yourself with the foods you can eat, and getting your kitchen stocked with the right ingredients. Taking the time to plan out your meals and snacks will help set you up for success and make sure you have the right ingredients on hand for when hunger strikes. Another key tip for succeeding on a dairy-free keto diet is finding healthy, dairy-free options of your favorite foods. There are so many alternatives to dairy now that can make your favorite meals just as delicious. For example, there are plant-based milks, yogurts and cheeses. Use these to your advantage when coming up with meal plans so you don't get bored of your food. What is the Dairy-Free Keto Diet? The Dairy-Free Keto Diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that eliminates all dairy products. The goal of this diet is to reduce carbs and increase healthful fats to promote weight loss, improve overall health, and decrease risk for certain diseases and conditions. How did you get started on the diet? I started the Dairy-Free Keto Diet after researching and learning more about the health benefits associated with it. I then consulted with a nutritionist who helped me create a meal plan and develop an exercise regimen. What were your initial results? After following the Dairy-Free Keto Diet for just a few weeks, I noticed a difference in my energy levels and my overall health. After a few months, I had lost a total of 30 pounds. What challenges did you face along the way? One of the biggest challenges I faced along the way was finding dairy-free alternatives to my favorite foods and snacks. I also had to be diligent about counting my macros and tracking my progress. What did you learn about nutrition? Through my journey, I learned that nutrition is not only about counting calories, but also about eating the right foods and getting the right amount of nutrients. By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods, I was able to reach my weight loss goals. How did you adjust your diet to reach your goal? Initially, I had to give up some of my favorite dairy-filled foods, but I was able to find delicious dairy-free alternatives. I also made sure to eat a balanced diet and to count my macros in order to stay on track with my goals. What has your 30-pound weight loss meant for you? My 30-pound weight loss has meant far more than just a number on the scale. I have more energy, I'm more confident in myself, and I have a much healthier relationship with food. What tips do you have for succeeding on a Dairy-Free Keto Diet? My advice for succeeding on a Dairy-Free Keto Diet is to stay committed, find delicious dairy-free alternatives, and track your progress. It’s also important to focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods and consult with a nutritionist to ensure you’re getting the right amount of nutrients. Read the full article

Whats your verdict on what pet food tastes like, if you have a pet LMAO

Okay so, I don't have my own pets right now, but I've grown up with dogs, rats and when I moved out I had cats. And my parents currently own two wolfhounds, that I also take care of when I'm there or my parents are away for longer amounts of time.

And for context, I have hyposmia, means my nose doesn't function very well which also means I have a hard time tasting anything that you're not detecting with your tongue. So I can't tell you if something tastes like herbs, grains or anything else because my "tasting" is heavily relying on texture which... obviously pet food doesn't have XD

Dog and cat kibble is like... it tastes like nothing? Not salty, not bitter, not sweet, just nothing, very blant and just dry as fuck - don't recommend

Cat milk just tastes like regular old lactose free milk???

My rats just had some premixed food from the pet store so it's really just some seeds and grains, nothing wild really, just some oats, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, some corn, just more dry than what you would usually eat yourself. - not great, but in a pinch, sure, would eat again!

the dogs get some sort of milk and chocolate based (i think???) treats here and there, and my mom told me they're also edible for people but I never tried them until recently. They're also very boring, slightly less dry but still, not that great

I think I would try wet dog food? Like just a bit, out of curiousity? Wet cat food not so much, stuff stinks (again I say that as someone who has hyposmia). Though, comments on the poll said it's surprisingly much... nothing.

Moral of the story, pet food is super boring and I don't know why our pets are so into these things

Hey Niu, next month I get the chance to visit Helsinki. Do you have any recommendations for what places to visit ? Like some ‘secret spots’ you know? I am really excited !! It’s gonna be my first time in finland! hope you are doing well and stay safe ♡

Ah amazing, warmly welcome! Helsinki is super pretty in May when the nature is still fresh green and bright. The city is really safe (my neighbors are storing their bikes outside without issues and I walk to do shopping sometimes at 3am) but watch out for pickpockets in the central tourists spots and in trams.

A mask has never been a mandatory anywhere here and the recommendation for wearing one has been lifted. I'd still recommend wearing it nevertheless, especially in public transport, at the airport and indoors.

Please note that the public transportation doesn't have a ticket just for the zone A. You have to get AB-zone ticket if you travel in the central. Travel tickets are sold only at the stations in ticket machines WHICH DON'T ACCEPT MONEY, ONLY A CARD PAYMENT, and in all R-kioski kiosks. I would recommend getting tickets from R-kioski as they accept cash. You also get all travel cards and special travel cards like 7 day tickets from R-kioski. There's one at the airport when you leave towards the train, and I'm certain also in ship terminals if you arrive by ship.

Some places I like and recommend (all in the central with walking distance away from each other)

Kakkugalleria (Cake Gallery) two locations in the central: Bulevardi 36 street and Frederikinkatu 41 street

Kakkugalleria is All You Can Eat cake buffet! Eat as much cake with tea and coffee as you ever like! For the tea, you get more hot water for free so you can brew as many cups from your tea leaves as you like. If the place is busy, there's 1,5 hours time limit but otherwise you can stay and eat as much as you ever want! They have gluten free, lactose free and vegan options.

Vanha kirkkopuisto aka Ruttopuisto (The Old Chuch Park, also known as The Plague Park) Bulevardi 3-5 (very close to Frederikinkatu's Kakkugalleria!)

Vanha Kirkkopuisto or the Plague Park is an old plague cemetery turned into a park with some of the tombstones and graves still intact. It's next to Helsinki's Old Church, which is always open (and free to enter). Here's more information of the Plague Park and here's a short video from the Old Church with the organist practicing their playing. If you don't want to walk, you can get here from the central railway station with a tram number 6 towards Eiranranta. Get off at stop Frederikinkatu and walk a bit towards the direction where the tram came from.

Kissakahvila Helkatti (Cat Cafe Helkatti) Frederikinkatu 55, entry fee 5 euro per person

I've not been here but apparently it's a really nice place! A reservation is recommended to be done before hand to ensure that you've got a seat but not necessary. Their online page is in Finnish only but at the end of their page there's a Ota Yhteyttä contact form: Nimi (Name), Sähköposti (Email), Puhelinnumero (Phone number), Viesti (Message) and Lähetä/Send button: helkatti.fi They serve the regular cafe stuff but also alcohol and non-alcoholic mocktails. Next door to Helkatti is The Ounce teashop, which is really wonderful and worth the visit if you like tea.

Allas Sea Pool Katajanokanlaituri 2A

Allas Sea Pool is a swimming pool in the sea with sauna right at the heart of Helsinki. People come here to relax. Their page is in English and you can buy tickets online or when you arrive: https://allasseapool.fi/?lang=en

Löyly - Sauna Restaurant Hernesaarenranta 4

A very famous public sauna with restaurants, where you can dip straight into the sea from the sauna for a swim (though still a way too cold to swim in the sea in May). You can go to the public sauna with others or book a private sauna (usually for business and other big events). Their page is in English: https://www.loylyhelsinki.fi/en/ This is a bit further away from the central in Jätkäsaari area. You can get here from the central railwaystation by tram number 6 towards Eiranranta. Get off at Eiranranta which is the final stop.

Shopping Mall Tripla at Pasila station

My fave shopping mall where you can get everything you need. They also have an indoor surfing place and a movie theater Bio Rex there (if you want to go to movies in Finland - all movies, except cartoons, are subtitled in Finnish, not dubbed, so foreigners who speak English CAN go to movies in Finland). Food, restaurants, clothes, toys, games, cafes... If you want to eat Finnish food, a restaurant Mari's Treehouse at the floor 1 serves Finnish food, like local fish, moose and and reindeer. To get to Tripla Mall, take any local train from the central railwaystation. They all stop at Pasila and Tripla is connected to the railwaystation. Local trains are marked with letters like A, K, I, P, etc.

Fantasiapelit At City Center shopping mall, The Central Railwaystation

Fancy for comics, manga, art books, dices, board games, fan merch, Warhammer stuff etc.? Check Fantasiapelit! It’s in City Center shopping mall which is underground of the central railwaystation. 95% of their stuff is in English!

Burger King Central Railwaystation

Probably one of the fanciest BKs is in Helsinki central railwaystation jugend era building. Worth of checking out!

Guys I dunno if this will help anyone but thought I could share some lazy food hacks. Over a few years I’ve lost about 60lbs and still going. Its been difficult and with my ADHD finding healthy foods that are quick, cheap, and yummy are almost impossible. So heres a short list.

-Drink more water. You don’t have to give up your soda or Starbucks drinks. I have one everyday! But drinking water really helps me with sleep and feel better. If you can’t get over the lack of taste I suggest using these mix packets. When I’d get a craving for soda I’d have one of these and then see how I feel. If I still wanted a soda I could have it but most of the time that craving for sweet had been filled.

-try to add some more protein. You don’t have to go crazy and start blending powders. If you just up it 20g from where you are now you will feel a difference. I did that by changing the milk I put in my coffee with the fairlife milk. Its also lactose free! And these mission protein wraps are low calorie but really filling. Throw in scrambled eggs or lunch meat and you got a good easy meal.

- finally if you want a dinner but lack the spoons to make anything other than throw something frozen on a tray and even THAT feels like too much, rotisserie chicken and bag of steamable veggies to the rescue. You can get the chicken from almost any grocery store and some pizza places. Im in nyc so our pizza shops usually have them and can get it delivered. The steamable veggies taste better than canned and a bag can serve you like 5 days. I also like to save my ranch cups from fast food for a lazy dipping sauce.

-I don’t ban myself from sweets but I make sure I plan one into my day everyday. It keeps me from searching. I prefer to keep these mug cakes in the house instead of a box of regular ones. One reason is because brownies are better hot. But also in the time it takes me to make one I realize I don’t need to mindlessly graze for two. And before you worry about the calories think what you would be spending those calories on when you aren’t thinking about it. Instead of struggling with 2 or 3 low cal snacks that still leave you desperate to snack why not have 1 really good treat you like?

- And finally I would say don’t get hung up on tiny things. Don’t think if a little change isn’t drastic enough to make a difference. You’re going to be feeding yourself for the rest of your life. Learn what works for you. Not everyone has the capacity to make full course dinners everyday. Take the shortcuts that work for you because ultimately you need to care for yourself.

Hopefully some of these hacks will make you feel more confident in your food choices and don’t let anyone tell you you’re doing it wrong because its too easy. You don’t have to suffer to be a success or to show up for yourself. One step at a time!

planets through the first house

Planets through the first house

Ready for yet another astrology post? We’ll be covering the results of different planets when placed in the first house of a birth chart. Remember that astrology is super fickle and changes dramatically with sign placement, aspects and conjunctions. So without any further delay, lets get into it! Do reblog and like, it took me a lot of effort to compile my observations! Feel free to leave feedback!

Trigger warning- too many, these are just my observations. Also i didn’t proof read, so spelling mistkes could be there.

for Rahu, look at the saturn part. (north node)

for ketu, look at the mars part. (south node)

Sun in the first house-

When sun is in the first house of a birth chart, the person may be heavily influenced by their father. They may look like their father or have a similar personality. Such people tend to be perfectionists, its their way or the highway. They may have a tendency to gain weight easily, however if its in scorpio then they’ll dramatically shed it and gain it, in a loop. They are extremely magnetic people. They may deal with foreigners on a regular basis, or speak a foreign language. They may deal with the government very often and may work for the government as diplomats. They may obtain their higher education abroad. They can remain quite childlike till much older. They can be very protective of their community, traditions and religion, and aim to spread awareness about it. These people are actually rarely concerned with someone’s exterior, because often times such people have such good intuition and spiritual powers (some are literally called mystics because of this), they can literally see through someone. For this reason, they actually don’t like associating with too many people, despite having a very charming personality. These are the kind of people that keep searching for ‘the one’. People may approach them regarding projects first, and they may work for the government. They may have extremely powerful enemies, but they shall defeat them. They may be closer to their mother’s family and culture. They may have a peculiar accent when talking, and many people will compliment their speech. They may have frizzy and big hair. They’ll have heavy acne in their younger years. They’ll have small squinted eyes, often accompanied by crows feet. They’ll appear much younger, and so will their mother. Their mother might be very short. They hate being indebted and like paying off loans quickly. They’ll have beautiful hands, and they have a habit of growing their nails. Many of them like to sing. Their father could’ve been a teacher or worked in heavy research based fields, maybe even a musician or doctor. Their life may go through rapid ups and down throughout. They may be extremely fond of cattle and horses, and hate flying. They may interject and cut people off in conversations. They will fall for married people or people in relationships, they will be good cooks and feel alienated by their mothers. They may wear glasses early on, and also they’re into fire rituals or fire. (pyromaniacs?). you will critique people and say terrible things you don’t mean when angry. You will have a large forehead or a receding hairline. You’ll have nightmares and premonitions about death and illness. You might be very very fond of gold or golden colours. You will be argumentative.

Moon in the first house-

When moon is in the first house of a birth chart, the person is heavily influenced by their mother. They may resemble their mother or have a similar personality. Such people are extremely moody and are always preoccupied with other’s opinion of them. They may have a tendency to fluctuate between their body weight, and are likely to have body dysmorphia. They have short necks and generally are short in height too. They’re very critical and over-analyze everything and everyone. Sometimes, even unconsciously, they manipulate people to suit their needs and whims. They get side tracked too often and have difficulty focussing on one task at hand, often amounting to laziness in other people’s eyes, even if the native is extremely hardworking in reality. However when in comes to personal care, they tend to do things in a very half-hearted manner. These people are also prone to isolating themselves from others, especially when things get hard. Such  people tend to be famous or popular in friend circles, or at the very least well known. They can be extremely picky people and often can be obsessive in their thoughts. They may follow their mother’s footpath professionally, and may want to pursue fields related to law, beauty/architecture and biology. Their mother’s were very involved in their life. Such people are always on the internet trying to look up astrology posts, tarot, etc. They like knowing whats going to happen and like to be prepared for it. They can be extremely manipulative when they want to be. They may see a lot of prophetic dreams, and their mother or them often have pressure buildup in their ears or can hear random sounds or voices. They enjoy looking at stars and the night sky. They enjoy a strange fascination for water and looking at people’s eyes. They could be into massaging people or have ‘healing hands’, or their mother could.

Venus in the first house-

When Venus is in the first house of a birth chart, the person is heavily influenced by their colleagues, significant others, or their families. They’re extremely swayed by people’s opinions of them, and often because of this are very unsure in their abilities. Big doe-like yes are often seen with this, and an inmate ability to gain beer-blotches on their face. They attract people to them. They may have bad relationships with their families, and their mother could have had a miscarriage just before them. They can be hyper sensitive regarding taste, smell and sound.
