Healing

@rivendellwatch

-Since our... I'll call it an agreement for now, Elrond will be visiting far more often. For the moment, he will be staying a few more days as per usual when it is inspection time.-

Adar- *Right now, I am carrying out something I often only have dreamed of. Finally, it is coming true! At the time of twilight, we lay upon the flower-covered field. With a hearty helping of coaxing, I was convinced to snuggle into Elrond's side.*

Elrond- *With a delicate hand, he moves my head to his chest.* Will you expose your neck? * He asks politely. He gently adjusts his face to kiss and lick my forehead. He carefully tucks my hair behind my ear. With the same fragile touches, he pets my hair.*

Adar- * I feel a warbling growl escape my throat. My soft inner nature peaks through, urging me to hold his hand as we gaze at the sky together. I'm not sure why, but I instead turn my face into his neck with some shakiness. My chest suddenly feels as if it is being jabbed with a rod of metal, thus my breath is being impaired.*

-The stars are only just now creeping into sight-

Elrond- *He sits up immediately pulling me into his lap* Darling, What's that matter? Please, talk to me.

Adar- *I shake my head and can only shrug, snuggling closer to him.* I'm so sorry... I don't fully understand it myself. *My voice shakes.*

Elrond- *He rocks me in his arms, tugging me closer, kissing the top of my head.* Adar, *He starts with a voice as cozy as a feather bed,* you did say it has been a very long time since anyone close to a lover's status has touched you softly in any manner. *He takes up my hand and kisses my knuckles.* I think because of all the abrasive touches you have endured, your heart needs time to adjust. You're being reminded of what brings life to your soul, my dear. Give it time. You simply need to be allowed to heal. Part of that is feeling.

Adar- *I cling to him tightly, now weeping upon his chest. I can only nod in return, while his words shatter my shell.*

Elrond-* He presses my head over his heart so that I may listen to it beat.* That's it, darling. I'm so proud of you for being brave tonight. I understand it will be difficult to regain a more talkative voice after being silent for so long. Processing this is also not easy, Adar. But I want you to know you are handling this excellently, sweetheart.

Adar- *Never in my wildest dreams could I have ever imagined anyone would speak those words to me in this life. His kindness has me wailing loudly into his chest. All of it is something like a fairytale from one of the books he has lent me. Perhaps he is right about these tears being ones that ought to have been shed long ago... But I am sure some of them are tears of joy as well.*

Elrond- There now, very good, keep going. Let the pain flow away with the stars. *He whispered before nuzzling the top of my head.*

Adar- *After who knows how long, I was able to finally lift my head to catch my breath. I sniffled heavily, wiping my eyes* Th-thank you....

Elrond- *He lovingly brushes the hair from my face.* Of course. This is something I want to talk to you about. But it can wait till tomorrow. Perhaps we can design a routine for you to release emotions daily? Can you agree to that, darling?

Adar- *I look at him with confusion and nervousness. I hadn't required such in my previous life... What would this mean for me? A small, unsure whimper escapes my throat while I cling to him. My body shakes slightly.*

Elrond- * He curls himself protectively around me with all his limbs.* No, sweetheart, there's no need to be afraid. I just want to help you. That's all.

Adar- *A deeply vulnerable yowling trîl escapes my throat. I curl deeper into the safety of his arms. An almost animal-like repeating whimper escapes me. I can't seem to control it. Over and over, I remember who I'm with. Had I been with that "Thing," I wouldn't be as safe in this headspace.*

Elrond- Adar, honey, listen to me, please. *He speaks the command both firmly and gently. Then, with the softest hands, he caresses my stomach.*

Adar-* I stop immediately, unable to find myself disobeying his word.*

Elrond- That's it, well done, sweetheart. I'm going to lay you in the flowers. When I do, you're going to expose your neck. I know pûrring is soothing for you. I'm going to pet your neck to help you pûr. Is that something you can agree to? *He had loads of experience caring for patients with similar issues. As a physician, first, he knew explaining the process was always the best way to ease a patient's worries*

Adar- *I let out a warbling cry as I nod. This vulnerable headspace always left me unable to speak. But Elrond's responsive and prepared nature did put me at ease enough to trust him*

*I allow him to do each thing he specified, but I can't restrain from the death grip that I have on his free wrist. However, his feathered fingers, the floral scent, the gorgeous night sky, and his singing voice have soothed me in no time.*

*A loud pûr erupts from my chest, and so does my cooing call of appreciation. I let go of his wrist and crawl to his side, head bumping and licking the area. His previous actions brought this headspace out with minimal effort.*

Elrond- *Rather than be put off by my strange behavior, he smiled down at me with endearment in his eyes. Then he began petting my hair and scratching at my scalp.* That's much better, darling. I'm so happy to hear you pûrring. * He pulled me into his lap and then kissed the top of my head.*

Adar- * A long trîl rolled out of my mouth, followed by my coo in between pûring.*

Elrond- Aren't you a sweet kitten. *He continued to rub my stomach as I began to settle further into his arms*

[slfcare]

every time you assume that others are thinking negatively of you or judging you behind your back, you are bullying yourself through them. at the end of the day, you don't know what thoughts are running through their heads unless they verbally express them to you. until then, every one of 'their' opinions about you is nothing more than your fear, and whatever assumption is born from your fear is yours to let go - not theirs to disprove.

[desultory-suggestions]

Stopping yourself mid-conflict to change your perspective is allowed! It’s okay and normal to be mid argument with someone and realize you disagree with your own stance. Often I find myself and others caught up in trying to win the argument (not the point of arguments!) or too embarrassed to back down and be wrong. I promise there is so much more pride in going “Stop! I’m wrong. I hear you and I see how I wasn’t in the right and I want to amend my view” than digging your heels in.

Hating you... I've hated myself. I just don't have the energy for it any longer.

Learning to Be Someone's Favorite

braindead version of this post

Tim, of course, would never believe that he could be anyone's favorite person.

Tim doesn’t expect anyone to like him—not right away, not even eventually. He’s learned to approach every new connection with the quiet, sinking knowledge that the best he can hope for is tolerance, and the worst is outright disdain. It’s not paranoia, not in his mind. It’s pattern recognition.

People don’t dislike him on purpose, not really. But Tim knows what he is—a little too sharp, a little too obsessive, a little too much. He doesn’t have the warmth Dick has, the easy charisma that draws people in. He’s not raw passion and magnetic energy like Jason. He’s not Cass’s quiet strength or Damian’s undeniable presence.

Tim is… there. Functional. Useful. And if people don’t like him, that’s fine. It’s not like he’s giving them much reason to.

Which is why Danny throws him completely off balance.

At first, Tim doesn’t know what to make of the guy. Danny just… shows up one day, cracks a joke, and slips into Tim’s life like he belongs there. He’s ridiculous and charming in that obnoxious, impossible-to-hate way that makes Tim’s head spin. And he stays. That’s the strangest part. Danny keeps showing up—at the Cave, during patrols, sometimes in Tim’s apartment with no warning, casually eating cereal like it’s completely normal.

Tim keeps waiting for the catch. People like Danny don’t stick around for people like him, not once they get to know him.

But Danny stays.

And not just stays. He latches onto Tim like it’s second nature, treating him like a gravitational center. Danny always seems to know when Tim’s burning the candle at both ends—he’ll show up uninvited with coffee and snacks, throw Tim over his shoulder (literally) to force him to take a break, or just plop down next to him and start chatting away about nothing until Tim feels the tension in his shoulders loosen.

Danny likes him.

The realization hits Tim like a sucker punch one night after a particularly grueling patrol. They’re sitting on a rooftop, splitting the last of the takeout Danny insisted on ordering, when Danny leans back and says, casually, “You know you’re my favorite, right?”

Tim nearly chokes on his noodles. “What?”

“You’re my favorite person,” Danny repeats, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. He grins, bright and unbothered. “I thought you knew that.”

Tim stares, unsure what to say. It doesn’t feel real—he’s used to Danny’s teasing, but this isn’t that. Danny’s just... stating it. Like it’s fact. Like Tim is the kind of person anyone would ever call their favorite.

His first instinct is to reject it, but he doesn’t. Not outright. Instead, he files the comment away, tucks it deep into the place where he hides the things that scare him most.

After that, Tim notices the way Danny treats him. How he never seems to prefer anyone else, how he always seeks Tim out first, how he lights up when Tim enters a room. It’s overwhelming, and terrifying, because Tim’s used to relationships being conditional. He knows how easily favor can turn into irritation, frustration, dislike.

Tim starts to tread lightly. He keeps himself carefully controlled around Danny, terrified of making the wrong move. He goes over every word they exchange, second-guessing himself constantly. The last thing he wants is to push Danny away—or worse, turn that bright, unwavering affection into resentment.

But Danny doesn’t seem to notice Tim’s cautiousness. Or if he does, he doesn’t care. He keeps showing up, keeps throwing an arm around Tim’s shoulders, keeps calling him his favorite with a grin and a wink. He stays.

And slowly—so slowly Tim doesn’t even notice at first—he starts to believe it.

Danny Fenton thinks Tim Drake is the coolest person in the multiverse.

And maybe, just maybe, Tim is finally starting to think it’s not a mistake.

Astrology Harsh Opinions

Back with a vengeance. Thank you 😊

Please don’t take this as astrological facts. These are more my experience and perspective. The whole chart and aspects must also be considered.

It must be gods gift to every Scorpio rising with Pluto in the 1st to seem very devoted to self preservation and just...self. Can be very self absorbed when the power is in their hands. With a Taurus descendant they have stability/peace in some relationships but I notice these people have a thrill for domination and power dynamics but in subtle ways that reflect back to how they want to feel about themselves, enough said.

If your parents are a Capricorn moons, their wounds and detachment from their mother will translate to how they raise and treat you. While they may not hate you or want to treat you with that same coldness but they can't help but resonate with the downright coldness they can carry into parenthood. Some.....some.

For independent souls if your MC (10th house) is in an innovative and independent sign do not and I repeat DO NOT tell your plans or all your ideas to somebody with a moon or malefic planet on your MC. They will control or have alot to say about how you approach and move through your career and navigate life on the outside. They can hinder you or make an emotional attachment regarding your improvement/advancement. Partnerships are great make sure yours can be though.

There is nothing more judgmental and ever questioning then a gemini moon, venus or stellium. Guaranteed aways have something to say.

If your coworkers have personal placements in your 4th, 8th, 12th and 10th. Trust they will be all up in your business, watch your mouth around them. They will talk and spread your business. (honorable mention the 7th house)

You will find a venus on someones ascendant or in their 12th can activate their jealousy towards you and the people you love and give your attention to outside of them. Especially if you surpass the idealism or idea they wanted you to be.

Don't be a fool mars conjunct mercury or these planets in the 7th, YOU know and you need to follow you intuition towards your people (soul family), business and fulfillment. Move away from them people that come against or attempt to hijack your wavelength. FUCK THEM PEOPLE.

Its true if you have 7th and 12th house placements you have hidden enemies/sneaky enemies....enemies of all kinds nonetheless. If this energy is connected to your 1st, 10th, 4th or 9th house i'm telling you now, you have hidden enemies that are coming from alot of places some family, friends or people around you (i.e coworkers). They seek to stop, control or transform you for their own benefit and from their own place of shadow.

Again if your parents are Capricorn moons I just want to start a support group for you and me so we can discuss all of our generational trauma and anger together, fully engage with the fact that your parents can do anything but love you properly.

If your a Sagittarius moon, Laugh...laugh as you cry its gods way of giving you proper antidepressants I do not care what your provider says....jkjk lets all get a therapist and shadow work :).

I personally think telling people to fuck off is the best way to protect yourself. Its the right way and the only way because if i don't get it then its not real. Make it make sense or shut up because I don't have the energy. The math has to fucking math thank you - a tired virgo mercury

I think having karmic synastry or inherited placements from family is a fucking curse. If this lady didn't fair well with her moon mercury and venus why the fuck would you give me that one for her to screw me retrograde...? HELLO god were you listening while I was crying and screaming....!?!?

One thing I fucking hate is being told what to do - sincerely a sag moon. Especially when you fucked it over 3 or 4 fucking times... now your trying to "teach" me something. Play with stop signs and red lights for me respectfully.

If your mars is conjunct a planet listen to your anger and the source, use it to your advantage or to calm down. If its a soft planet like venus, use pleasurable and fun ways to activate and express your needs. If its moon find comfort in taking action to protect and build your needs and home for yourself. If its mercury well, just try to calm down and find ways not to punch people, watch how and what you say because it makes sense why your angry with everyone but yourself. Use it to talk yourself down or scream or perceive a smarter person idk (sorry y'all i'm pissed)

Love yourself well and protectively Venus in the 8th, its precious there and its hard to fully recover from deep seated pain it changes the foundation of how you love or who. Which may be a good or bad thing.

Bump people and their passive aggressive lack of realness and balls to say I either do or don't like you 11 house placements (especially malefic). Cut em off loose ends that aren't productive for how you see yourself and reputation. CUT them off don't just think about it.

Saturn or Mars in the 4th is childhood trauma, the type depends on the connections and aspects to the houses.

A mars in scorpio is gonna do what they wanna do for them every time, your in the way of what they want or who they want...they will attempt to get you gone in secret or in public, I don't make the rules.

Neptune can show where you should or can spiritually protect your mind, body and spirit. I.E Scorpio Neptune in the 9th can use religious ideology or practices to protect or spiritually cleanse. Leverage your spiritual planet. Especially because of its need for strong spiritual hygiene. Sometimes applying the meaning to the energy of the planet can help you learn to define your spiritual practice.

Saturn squaring moon or mercury is emotional/mental pain, it can definitely show hardships involving perception and internalization in your environment. These are planets that rule over socialization and understanding (how we learn to understand the world around us), these are the main planets that show us and guide us on "how". Even if its not real, for example Saturn in the 4th/aspecting moon or mercury allows you to perceive through a lens of struggle or hardships that haunt them, as they grow older or reflect in lessons of life. Growing up in poverty effects how we see or want our inner world and homes to appear after we've endured childhood, this is seen through maturing the moon or saturn/moon hard aspects. Saturn/mercury aspects show the dent in expression and mental clarity that can often be inherited by a lack of stable environment or words being affirmed, later healed through journaling, therapy and expressing the source of what was never said.

If you are a Pisces, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius. Learn to love yourself and who you are (not to say others shouldn't), my dual ruled signs tend to receive a lot more hardships being ruled by malefic and transformative energies. The rising can also show what your parents wanted for or of you, which under these signs can be a weight of something that you never asked or wanted. It can become a burden but allow it to show your strength. Focus on mastering and clarifying who you are to YOU before you find yourself in a job, label, home or relationship that may not be the best but the endurance before the best.

If you are a 9th moon or venus, move. If family and circumstance is bothering you MOVE, even if you cant leave forever or stay away forever. Take the time to learn when to move with the optimism of the heart. Because you may not feel in tune with yourself unless you find what your looking for elsewhere. Elsewhere is usually not with the past and people from the past.

One of the hardest placements to me is Saturn,Chiron, Neptune in the 11th. I truly feel sad when I think about this one, remedy or not who you trust isn't much up to you. Who really is there that you haven’t chosen? This to me is a cosmic rejection. You are not for everybody and everybody isn't for you. Don't easily trust or share because your heart will harden if you let it dealing with that type of public, communal or social rejection. Especially if your a social sign like libra, gemini or sagittarius, etc. Just be careful because it can be painful. Its protection there and ideas, innovative yet strong energy but it can be very lonely.

ALL signs should love themselves and take it easy. Grow up and live strong. Never forget who you are and what you live for.

Somewhere Else~*.•

Portal Passage

Another DPxDC idea (it can be either turn into future Dead on Main or Anger Management, I'm not picky)

With Toddler!Damian~

So

When Jason was being 'trained' by the LOA in a fit of Pit Madness he somehow manged to stumble upon a toddler Damian in the base when he fought his current 'teacher' and fell into Damian's own training room at the time he was training.

Jason, even in a Pit Rage episode and not yet fully 'trained' out of his Robin teaching and his own (deeply buried) morals of protecting children, see's a toddler being trained with a legit sword and see's some of the wounds and cuts the kid has on himself from the training. He does not take it well and in a fit, fights the other teacher and gathers Damian into his arms.

This leads to Jason, in half coherent and half Pit Madness, to try to escape with Damian in his arms and get the heck out of the League with assassins at his heels.

However the fight eventually ends up with them near the Pits itself and in a single wrong move the two fall in.

The two do not resurface.

-x-x-

It was a normal day in Amity Park.

As normal as Amity Park could be to be honest.

When one of the Fenton siblings came down to clean the lab for the day when the protal suddenly flared up and for the lack of better words spat out a teen around their age and a toddler.

Both passed out on the lab floor.

five random social “skills” i learned due to life experience

it’s okay to bring up your own experience when someone is telling you about their experience, as long as you circle it back to them. “is that what you mean? is that similar to your experience, or was yours different? what did you think of xyz?”

follow-up questions are always okay! when someone is done explaining something to you, ask them something along the lines of, “so, I just do this & that? / and then [result] will happen?” soo many people will appreciate your effort to understand and it’s also a good way to end a conversation instead of the slightly awkward “oh, okay, thank you– yes, thanks. got it! thank you.”

remember the details about people to refer to later. even if it’s just small talk. if you think it might be awkward, you can casually be like “wasn’t it you who told me about this..?” which indicates that what they told you was, in a way, important to you.

never underestimate the power of compliments. not only will you make someone feel good, but chances are they’ll expand on the conversation by adding where they got something, how they feel about something or simply how much they appreciate you noticing.

make kind honesty a habit (even more so than brutal honesty). tell people about the things you admire about them, express your gratitude even when it’s for mundane reasons, give advice to help others be better and not just to be critical, take a moment to tell someone you appreciate their presence, conversation, etc. be open and generous with your love and watch it find its way back to you.
