hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Currently obsessed with the idea that the boys go to Time for love advice, since "he's married so he knows this stuff right?"
I mean they couldn't recognize a wedding ring??? And neither did he???
And time was saying this in his youth I mean cmon
Twilight: So ancestor. What would you do if like. Malon left to another world and never came back
Time: ... bro Malon called me fairy boy and then we were married like what
Hyrule: So uhh old man. How does one. Meet a girl.
Time: By speaking to her I guess? Or not, Malon did the talking for me
Hyrule: riiiiight...
Wild *no tact*: Hey so like... what if your redheaded wife who's name started with M died.
Time: what?!?!
Wild, undeterred: but like before she proposed.
Time: ...
Wild: and you don't remember if you would have said yes. What's your advice for dealing with that?
Time: ... vent to a fairy?
Warriors: hey old man
Time: no no no not this one asking me please
Warriors: how do I get women to stop coming after me. So I can ya know. Choose without war trying to force me into relationships
Time: I can safely say I've never had that problem captain
Wars: of course not *smirks*
Wars: ok but seriously how do I make them go away
Time: ... wear a wedding ring so they think you're taken, I've got a shiny extra
Time: no no why- they won't stop, I don't know how to do love!
Time: ok well at least I have legend. That kid would never ask for advice, I'll sit by him.
Legend: so old man.
Time, looking forward to a normal conversation: yeah?
Legend: hypothetically, what would you do if you found out Malon didn't exist.
Legend: And her whole world didn't, but it did, and now it doesn't
Time: ...Excuse me for a minute.
Time, writing a letter as fast as he can: MALON HOW DO I GIVE LOVE ADVICE THEY THINK IM WISE
Malon: lol
Happy Valentine's Day guys, have a headcanon :P
The boys go to Time for love advice and Time spouts whatever wise-sounding bs he can, before shoving them all on Malon for therapy when they visit the ranch

very simple resquest:
idia having a crush on yuu, but he has to be his own matchmaker and try by himself to woo them
i have a very serious idia brainrot feel free to ignore this
“What are you doing?”
“Wha- uhh, nothing?”
“Nothing.” You watch Idia scoot another centimeter closer. “Okay.”
“The breeze is less intense from here. That’s why I moved. Not because of you, if that’s what you were thinking.”
“The breeze? We’re sitting inside.”
“From the vent, obviously.” Idia says, not turning to face you but staring through his peripheral vision.
“And those flowers in your hand?”
“Are these flowers? I, uh, though they were weeds.” He fake coughs to cover up the awkwardness. “I guess I have no use for them. Did you…?”
“…”
“Sevens, you’re really gonna make me say it?”
You stare at him, refusing to help.
“…Would you like them?”
“Yes, thank you.” You smile at his suffering, taking the blue bouquet in your arms. They certainly didn’t look like ‘weeds’ to you.
“You know, since I’m here anyway…”
“Yes?”
“Sheesh, don’t make that scary face. I just…never mind. You probably have plans already, because you’re popular and all so it doesn’t matter.”
“Idia.” He stops mid standing up to walk away. “You spent the last twenty minutes getting close enough to sit beside me and then you pull a ‘never mind?’”
He visibly cringes. “You noticed that, huh?”
“If you don’t ask me out right now, I think I’m legally allowed to beat you up as retribution.”
“So you knew the whole time I was going to ask you about the movie…”
“Not the movie specifically, but what else would you be doing? Also, I thought things might be heading in that direction.”
“What? How could you know?”
“We’ve hung out several times a week for the past month.”
“Yeah, but I thought you only thought of it as friends…or y’know a pity hang out?”
“Last week I told you I liked you.”
“I thought…as a friend…”
“What did you think it meant when I said I wanted to bite you?”
“Uh…cannibalism?” You shoot him a look. “Geez, I’m short on friends these day, I have to take what I can get.”
“Well, go ahead and ask.”
Idia flushes pink from his cheeks to hair. “Do you insist on humiliating me?”
“Oh, so now it’s humiliating ask me out? I guess you don’t really want to.” You sigh dramatically, pretending to get up and leave.
“NO!! Wait. Ugh, why are you doing this to me?!”
“Because it’s funny.”
“…will…y…go…t…with…m?” he mumbles.
“Sorry? Didn’t quite catch that?”
“Sevens,” he curses. “I said, will you go out with me?”
You smirk at him. “Was that so hard, sweetheart?”
His eye twitches. “It’s like you want me to die from a heart attack.
