gabe perreault x fem!reader

summary: you're sick and the only person who can cure you is your best friend, gabe!

warning(s): fluff, fluff, fluff

author's note: eee this is my first gabe fic! thank u anon for suggesting him, i was in a huge writers slump so ty ty ty! enjoy!

You had heard stories of people falling in love with their best friend; it happened to your parents, your older sister and her boyfriend, all of your cousins, but to you, love just felt unattainable, like maybe you were the exception. The love bug skipped a generation and was already preparing for the next—but now? Now you felt it. You felt it crawl underneath your skin and bubble in your stomach. You felt your chest tighten and the heat rise to your cheeks. 

You were in love, true love.

“Gabe,” you groaned over the phone, his breathing sounding staticy over the line. You had been sick for a few days, only a slight cough and an itchy throat, but today felt 10 times worse. Your stomach was aching, your head felt like it was getting hit by a basketball every couple of seconds, and you sniffled so frequently you were sure that something was going to go up the wrong pipe and straight up to your brain. 

And you felt bad, not only because of your illness, but because it was nearly 2 AM and you could hear Gabe shuffle underneath his dark blue sheets in the dorm he shared with his best friend, Will Smith. You knew it was late and this was wrong. I mean, the boy had a game against Boston University in the morning, now was not the time to wake him, but you just didn’t know what to do. You felt like you were dying and all you needed was one of Gabe’s famous hugs and maybe a back rub (he was really good at those).

“Hey,” he said quietly, trying not to wake the snoring Will on the other side of the room. His eyes were fighting to stay open, determined not to lean onto his fluffy white pillow and fall back to sleep. “You okay?”

You sniffled, grabbing another tissue from the box that laid beside your bed. “I feel like I’m dying,” you responded, your voice sounding congested and nasally—not in the slightest like your normal tone.

You could hear shuffling on the other side of the phone. Then, you could hear keys jangling and his closet door opening, a hoodie getting thrown over his body, and then the door to his dorm being pulled open. You wanted to protest because you knew what he was doing, where he was going, but you had no energy to speak. Instead, your stubborn voice turned to loud coughs that made Gabe want to pull you in his arms and hold you until they faded into oblivion.

But he couldn’t. It was too much for you. It would be weird. You wouldn’t feel the same. It was the exact same thing he’s been telling himself for months (really what he’s been telling himself since the moment he met you). It would ruin your guys’ friendship and you will never want to speak to him again. If only he could hear your thoughts because then, maybe he’d be thinking differently, and it wouldn’t be so hard.

Three soft knocks on the door of your dorm signaled exactly what you suspected would happen. Gabe was your best friend and if he caught the flu, you would be there holding his hand and making him a bowl of chicken noodle soup. If you were crying about a failed test, he would buy you ice cream and agree to watch countless episodes of The Bachelor until you were feeling okay again. One time you were sick with Covid and Gabe didn’t even care. He stayed with you during quarantine, snuggled under mountains of blankets, watching movies until you were sick of them, and gossiping about anyone and anything. It wasn’t a surprise that he caught the sickness a couple days later. Your moms laughed about the memory, finding it endearing that you two loved each other so much that you were willing to be sick together. 

Gabe settled some medicine on your bedside table before lifting your light pink covers and crawling into bed with you. You fit perfectly into his arms, like this spot was made just for you. Despite your sweaty forehead and aching body, he held you tightly, placing small kisses on the crown of your head. Your parents had always joked about you two getting married someday, but sometimes you wished that it was real; that you would grow old with him and live in a big white house with a white picket fence and a large rose garden in the backyard. You truly couldn’t see your life with anyone else. 

But that was silly. Gabe was your best friend. That would just be weird—right?

“I’m sorry,” you whispered. He walked all the way from his building to yours in the middle of the night despite having a ginormous game tomorrow. He felt unreal, like how could a person be so perfect and somehow be yours?

“Don’t be,” his words were just as soft. His chin resting on the top of your head as yours fit in the space between his neck and shoulder, leaving delicate kisses on his adams apple. This isn’t what best friends do, you told yourself. Best friends don’t kiss each other. Best friends don’t cuddle underneath sheets and hold hands to “warm each other up.” It was confusing and you hated it. You hated not knowing how he was feeling when you knew exactly how you felt about Gabe.

“You didn’t have to come here.”

“You called.”

You laughed. “That doesn’t mean anything. You could’ve stayed in bed and slept longer and had good dreams and—”

“Hey,” he smiled down softly at you, lifting your chin to look up at him. His hand lingered there for a while, not wanting to move away from you. There was something about you that made Gabe want to be closer and closer. There was something that made him want to parade you around campus, telling everyone that you were his. He wanted to see you in his jersey and kiss you after games and hold you tight at parties. He wanted to take you with him to New York when he plays for the Rangers after college and introduce you to his family as his girlfriend instead of just his best friend. Gabe was ready for more, but he hated thinking that you might not be. “I wasn’t just going to let you die, okay?”

You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, like that one time you pushed me down that water slide at Hurricane Harbor.”

“Pft, you wanted to go down that.”

You chuckled incredulously. “There is no way you just said that.”

“‘Oh, Gabe, please take me on this waterslide. I’ve been dying to go with you.’”

“I don’t sound like that.”

He grinned. “Yeah, you sound like this,” he said, pinching his nose with his fingers, his voice sounding blocked and nasally.

You pushed his hands away, hiding your face in his clothed chest. “Shut up.”

“C’mon, you love it.”

“I will fight you.”

He ran his hand up and down your arm, your eyes fluttering closed and your breathing steadying. He held you tighter, wrapping both arms around you and snuggling deeper into the bed. His last words before you fell into hypnosis lingered in your mind as you couldn’t even escape your lovestruck dreams of the perfect boy. “Keep telling yourself that, sicko.”

By the time the sun rose, you were sure that he would be gone; that his hoodie would be collected from the carpet, that his legs would no longer be intertwined with yours, and that his belongings would be gone, but he was still there and you were still in his arms and everything was still perfect. His breathing was soft and slow, his little curls were a bit tussled, his cheeks were pale, and you wondered what he was dreaming about that left a ghost of a smile on his face.

You wanted to wake up like this everyday and everyday after that. So yeah, maybe you were in love. Maybe you were in deep. And maybe you were ready to tell him.

He rustled around before lifting his eyes open, his smile growing wider when he saw your pink face, knowing he caught you staring at him as you glanced around the room, trying not to make eye contact with the boy.

“Feeling better?” he asked, turning to his side and facing you. 

A strand slipped through your loose ponytail and settled on the front of your face, covering your eyes as he allowed his hands to work faster than his mind. He slowly brought his hand up, carefully moving the strand behind your ear. And you would expect the moment to be over but when his hand lingered on your cheek, his thumb lightly running over the smooth skin of your face, you knew that maybe just maybe there could be something more.

You nodded slowly. “I’m okay.”

“I’m glad. I hate seeing my girl sick,” he spoke softly as if speaking any louder would shatter the calming atmosphere. 

My girl. You wanted to allow your mind to toss and turn, investigate the meaning behind those two words, search for his thought-process, his feelings, anything, but for the first time in forever, you felt serene and calm with him. You didn’t feel the need to wonder what this meant for the two of you. You were perfectly content where you were now, where you were going, and what you were going to do next.

You placed your hand on his chest, feeling his heart beat fast yet gentle. His eyes wandered down to your place of connection and when they met yours again, you could’ve sworn you saw something: a spark, hope, clarity, confirmation.

And when he leaned in, holding your face close with the hand still resting on your cheek, his lips hovering over yours, desperate to connect, you knew nothing would be the same. He would never be just your best friend anymore. And you were perfectly okay with that.

As Gabe leaned in, his lips met yours in a tender, yet passionate kiss. It was a moment that felt suspended in time, where every sensation was heightened—the warmth of his touch, the softness of his lips, the racing of your heart. In that instant, all doubts melted away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of certainty and bliss.

The kiss deepened, as if both of you were pouring all the unspoken feelings and desires into this one act. Your hands found their way to his hair, fingers threading through the soft strands as you pulled him closer, wanting to feel every part of him against you. His arms tightened around you, pulling you impossibly closer as if he never wanted to let go.

Time seemed to stand still as you lost yourselves in each other, the outside world fading into insignificance. When you finally broke apart, breathless and flushed, you found yourselves gazing into each other's eyes, the realization of what had just happened sinking in. But there was no fear, no uncertainty, only a profound sense of connection and joy.

“I’m sick,” you said, making Gabe chuckle softly. Of course your first words after a long-anticipated kiss would be that. But that’s what Gabe loved about you. You were you in every sense of the word. You are the reason his stomach hurts from laughing every time he comes back to his dorm, staring into space as he thinks about your giggle and your smile and your stupid humor. You are everything. You’re the world. 

I just kissed the world, Gabe thought. My girl.

With a smile that spoke volumes, Gabe whispered, "I don’t care." 

“You will when you get sick.”

“And will you be here? When I get sick?” he asked, his thumb running back and forth on the exposed space of skin on your pelvis. 

You nodded. You would be there for him through anything no matter what. “Always.”

“Then I’m okay with it.”

And in that moment, as you nestled into his embrace once more, you knew that the stories were real and true; that love is real and true, because you just fell in it and you couldn’t be happier.

10, 13, 26 of the oc asks for as many of them as you can find an answer for maybe perhaps?

LWNWNFLWKFNKA,M THANK YOU SO MONTY (yes ik i'm supposed to be on hiatus, but i can come out and go back in, i need to feed the people who want to be fed)

10. What lie do they most frequently remembering telling? Does it haunt them?

B: She lies about how much she misses Cuba, she says she barely misses it, but in reality some nights that's all she dreams about. Her childhood there, what her life would've been if her mother didn't move them when she was little. Let's just say, she misses it alot.

Zippo: That she didn't remember anything about the reason her family left Russia, she was two why would she remember? But she has one of those memories that have been formed over the years of being told the event that truly caused them to leave. The lie doesn't haunt her as much as the memory does.

Ollie: That she was happy in her relationship with Roland, even though anybody with a pair of eyes could see that was a lie. And the only reason it haunts her is because she had to see Eugene's face fall into a frown upon hearing that (he knew she was lying but didn't want to press any further into it)

Torrie: That she sometimes resents her mother for baring her. She always thinks about what her mother could've done with her life if she didn't decide to runaway and get married with a baby.

Marselle: That her ex didn't screw her up as badly as she did. Baby girl's ex was a bitch and treated her horribly, but Marselle still somewhat loves her, not very much but it's still there, and she doesn't want people to know how badly she hurt her.

Eliza: WHAT LIE DOESN'T HAUNT HER?? No but honestly, there's so many to choose from, which one do you want?? Her lying about how she doesn't hate her father as much as her mother?? Her lying and saying that if given the opportunity she wouldn't violently kill her mother?? (that's the one that truly haunts her bc it makes her believe she's capable of what her mother has done)

Mary: That she never wanted to see her father's grave again, it haunts her bc she does but she doesn't also, and what kind of daughter doesn't want to visit her fathers grave.

Julia: That she doesn't mind her birth father. In all actuality if he were to fall off a cliff and die, she wouldn't really care, that quite frankly terrifies her that she thinks that.

Allie: That her experience in the military has been great. She wanted a full combat position but they chose not to give her one since she's a woman. It pisses her off to no end.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

B: She thinks she looks the best in dark blue, and she does. It compliments her skin.

Zippo: Brown, and she does look good in brown.

Ollie: Cream, she believes it compliments her skin and it does.

Torrie: Even though green is her favorite color, the colors she think she looks best in are black and white, or just a slew of random colors, they all look good.

Marselle: Beige! It's her favorite color so of course she thinks she looks good in it. p.s. she does.

Eliza: red and black, and omfg she does look amazing in those colors.

Mary: green and black, but also mostly darker earth tones, she likes how they compliment her hair, and she does look good in them

Julia: any kind of blue! She looks great in them!

Allie: earth tones, or any of wtf the 70s had going on with their color pallets, she looks great in them

26. What is their preferred mode of transportation?

B: walking or train!! Sometimes by car, but that's only if she really needs to

Zippo: sadly car, that's the only way she really gets around, she walks sometimes tho

Ollie: trollies!! She doesn't mind cars, but she just prefers trollies, she likes to look at the scenery and the atmosphere

Torrie: another car girly, she'll take the the train but only if necessary

Marselle: saldy she grew up with cars, but her next choice for some strange reason is boats don't ask why, it's just boats

Eliza: even though she grew up around cars, she prefers trains and the like, if it doesn't give her a reason to be alone she wants it

Mary: she likes walking everywhere, yea she'll use a car if necessary, but she mostly walks, but she has to be careful because she can get into her head and it's not fun

Julia: a car girl once again, but she's not opposed to trains, she loves them!

Allie : hear me out, tractors. You can drive them around and get around with them. But in all seriousness, she would get around with them or by horse, but she's a realist and knows she need to use a car

Highlighters come in powder, cream, and liquid forms, each offering a different finish and level of intensity. Powder highlighters are great for an intense glow, while creams and liquids provide a more natural-looking sheen.

The next consideration is the shade. Highlighters are available in various shades, ranging from champagne and gold to rose gold and icy silver. The key is to select a shade that complements your skin tone and undertones, creating a seamless and radiant look.

Another important aspect to keep in mind is the application technique. Whether you prefer a fan brush, a tapered brush, or your fingertips, the way you apply the highlighter can make a significant difference in achieving the desired effect.

What You Need to Know About Skin Care After Sun Exposure

Sun exposure can have both positive and negative effects on your skin. On one hand, it can provide vitamin D, boost your mood, and enhance your appearance. On the other hand, it can also cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to know how to protect your skin from the sun and how to take care of it after sun exposure.

How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun

The best way to protect your skin from the sun is to avoid excessive sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest. However, if you have to go outside during these hours, you should follow these tips:

- Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and broad-spectrum protection, which can block both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate deeper into the skin and cause wrinkles, sagging, and dark spots. UVB rays can damage the surface of the skin and cause sunburn and skin cancer. You should apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or after sweating or swimming.

- Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses. You can also look for clothes with UPF (ultraviolet protection factor), which can indicate how much UV radiation can pass through the fabric. The higher the UPF, the better the protection. For example, a shirt with UPF 50 can block 98% of UV rays.

- Seek shade whenever possible, such as under trees, umbrellas, or awnings. However, keep in mind that shade does not provide complete protection, as UV rays can still reflect from the ground, water, or sand. Therefore, you should still wear sunscreen and clothing even if you are in the shade.

- Avoid artificial tanning, such as tanning beds, lamps, or booths. These devices can emit UV rays that are even more intense than the sun and can increase your risk of skin cancer and aging. If you want to have a tan, you can opt for safer alternatives, such as self-tanning products or spray tans.

How to Take Care of Your Skin After Sun Exposure

Even if you follow the above tips, you may still experience some degree of sun damage after being outside. This is because the sun can affect your skin in various ways, such as:

- Dehydrating your skin, which can make it dry, flaky, and tight. This can also impair your skin's barrier function, which can make it more vulnerable to infections and irritants.

- Inflaming your skin, which can cause redness, swelling, pain, and itching. This can also trigger the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage your skin cells and DNA.

- Pigmenting your skin, which can cause tanning, freckles, or dark spots. This is a result of your skin producing more melanin, which is a pigment that can protect your skin from further sun damage. However, too much melanin can also cause uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

- Aging your skin, which can cause wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. This is a result of your skin breaking down collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that give your skin its structure and firmness.

To minimize these effects and help your skin recover after sun exposure, you should follow these tips:

- Wash your skin gently with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water. This can help remove any dirt, sweat, or sunscreen residue from your skin and prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Avoid using harsh soaps, scrubs, or hot water, as they can irritate your skin and strip away its natural oils.

- Moisturize your skin generously with a hydrating lotion or cream. This can help replenish the moisture that your skin lost from the sun and restore its barrier function. Look for moisturizers that contain soothing and healing ingredients, such as aloe vera, chamomile, oatmeal, or green tea. Avoid moisturizers that contain alcohol, fragrance, or retinoids, as they can dry out or sensitize your skin.

- Cool your skin with a cold compress, ice pack, or damp cloth. This can help reduce the inflammation, pain, and itching that your skin may experience after sun exposure. You can also use products that contain cooling and anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as menthol, cucumber, or calamine. Avoid applying ice directly to your skin, as it can cause frostbite or damage your blood vessels.

- Treat your skin with products that can repair the sun damage and prevent further harm. For example, you can use products that contain antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or niacinamide, which can neutralize the free radicals and brighten your skin tone. You can also use products that contain ingredients that can stimulate collagen and elastin production, such as peptides, growth factors, or retinol. However, be careful with using products that can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, such as alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide. You should use them at night and always wear sunscreen during the day.

- Hydrate your body internally by drinking plenty of water and fluids. This can help replenish the water that your body lost from sweating and prevent dehydration, which can affect your skin and overall health. You can also eat foods that are rich in water, such as fruits, vegetables, soups, or smoothies. Avoid drinking alcohol, caffeine, or sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate your body and worsen your skin condition.

Conclusion

Sun exposure can have both positive and negative effects on your skin, depending on how much and how often you expose yourself to it. To protect your skin from the sun and take care of it after sun exposure, you should follow the tips mentioned above and consult your dermatologist if you have any concerns or questions. By doing so, you can enjoy the benefits of the sun while minimizing its risks and keeping your skin healthy and beautiful.

Quote(s):

“There’s a lot of stories to tell behind a painting or even a simple drawing. That’s why I always wanted to see the world outside and bring a journal with me. I wanted to make paintings of what I would see and tell my own stories of my adventures of getting to experience what freedom felt like.”

“I may not be as strong as my comrades, but that won’t stop me from trying to fight. I'm not some scared little girl anymore, I'm a soldier dedicating my heart to humanity, and I'm here to take back my freedom!”

“Then I’ll help you…I know what I’m getting myself into, I know the risks, but I don’t want to just stand aside and wait to die, not if it means I can’t at least try to fight for the sake of giving the people I love a better life than this. So I’ll help you.”

History/Life: Taylor Schuyler is the second daughter of the Schuyler household of Windsor Village. Her father Dawson was a squad leader for the Scout Regiment, and her mother Miriam was the owner of the town’s local bakery. Taylor—Tay, as she likes to be called—worked alongside her mother and older brother Nathanael in running the bakery and going on bread-runs into Trost. As a child, Tay was very shy and only had one best friend—Melody Oglethorpe, the daughter of the owner of Windsor Ranch where Nathanael and Tay loved to frequent—and was almost always by the side of her big brother. Despite her introverted and awkward personality, she had a strong bond with her family and her circle of friends. One of her biggest passions when she wasn't working was art, and had been shown to have quite a talent for it. Everywhere she went, she carried a satchel containing all the supplies she needed: a sketchbook, graphites, colored pastels, and oil paints. When she found that Nathanael was planning to join the scouts, Tay made the quick decision to go with him, and to help fight alongside their father and their uncle Elijah Kaufman for humanity’s glory, and she made her goal to someday explore the outside world to create marvelous paintings and artworks of what she finds on the other side of the walls. When Dawson was killed on an expedition and Elijah returned severely injured, this tragedy left the Schuyler family devastated, especially Tay who was “Daddy’s little girl.” As a result, Nathanael made Tay promise to never join the scouts, and as such would hold off on applying for the cadets to remain with their mother and the twins during their time of grief. In the year 845 after the titan attack on Wall Maria, Tay enlisted in the 104th Cadet Corps alongside Nathanael, Mel, and Mel’s close friend Sam Dossam—however instead of training for the scouts, she was training to make the top ten in order to apply for the Military Police to obtain the benefits to support her family, just the same as her big brother. Throughout the course of her training, Tay wasn’t the strongest or brightest recruit in her squad; in fact, she was viewed as the weakest, and the constant struggles worsened her anxiety to the point of breakdowns. She would've been sent out to the fields had she not worked herself to exhaustion in order to prove to Commandant Keith Shadis that she was capable of becoming a strong soldier. It took her the longest to get used to using the ODM gear, despite how easily sick it made her, and after intense training and help from others, she became an expert at functioning the gear and it's now considered her best skill in combat. Her training was also a factor in her changing as a person: Over the years, Elijah had emotionally abused her after becoming an alcoholic, and had conned her out of money claiming he was getting help for his injured leg until she found out that he was using her money for gambling. She gained the courage to confront him, but when he attempted to harm her she fought back and made it clear she would no longer take his abuse. 

Throughout her training, she began to have second thoughts about joining the interior. She had formed an unlikely friendship with the titan-killing-obsessed blockhead Eren Yeager, a cadet with set ambitions on joining the scouts. She didn’t make the top ten, but she was still offered a position in the interior upon recommendation. She knew what she truly wanted, and it was after the traumatic titan attack in Trost, she reluctantly made the decision to join the Scout Regiment. She was taken under the wing of Section Commander Hange Zoë and Joanna Elytis, and in charge of taking sketched documentations and journaling any valuable information on missions. Four years later, Tay joined the Yeagerist movement to help achieve Eren’s goal to give their precious friends a better life and ensure the protection of their island from any outside enemies.

Tay met Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman a year before Wall Maria fell. When her youngest brother Clovis fell ill with bronchitis, Grisha Yeager traveled with his son and adopted daughter to explore and perhaps make new friends. Eren was initially hostile towards her at first whilst Mikasa was harder to read, but the three of them seemed to warm up to each other. She wouldn't see them again after they returned to Shinganshina. Eren, Mikasa, and their friend Armin took shelter in Trost after their home was destroyed. In a desperate attempt to get food, Eren tried to steal bread when Tay was out on her first bread-run on her own. To his surprise, Tay was able to fight back, but upon seeing how desperate he was to get food for his friends and remembering that his dad helped her family she thought she owed it to them. Eren saw her as an odd girl and didn't understand why she was always so nice to him, and was sometimes a little annoyed with her antics. There have been many incidents where she put him in his place and proved to him she wasn’t a doormat. They grew closer over the years, and as crazy as Tay thought he was for daring to want to join the Scout Regiment, she admired him for being set on achieving his freedom and he was one of the reasons she was inspired to go. When he was around her, Eren was always laughing and smiling at some of her jokes, and he felt like he could open up to her. Their bond led to them developing feelings for each other, but it took them some time to be honest about how they felt due to their shared fear of facing death before they could be together.

Despite the losses and the battle she had to face, letting go of those who have used and abused her kindness and generosity, and the trials she would face in her relationship with Eren, Tay fought hard to become the soldier she always wanted to be in order to finally achieve the free life she always wanted. 

Bonus Facts

-Her voice: Japanese- Miyuki Sawashiro (Kurapika, Hunter X Hunter); English- Suzie Yeung (Makima, Chainsaw Man)

-She started off as a self-insert character created way back in 2016 to be paired with my comfort character Eren Yeager. As self-indulgent as this OC and her story is, it’s become something that brings me much comfort with the characters I’ve grown to love, and I still see myself in her and means a lot to me (yes, I'm biased, shhhh)

-She's a Gemini.

-She has a cinnamon scent.

-Her alignment is lawful-good.

-Dawson was convinced that before Jane was born that she was going to be a boy and picked the name for her. When she was born and he found out she was wrong, he insisted they keep her name because he thought it suited her.

-She got her favorite locket from a merchant when she and her friends visited the marketplace. She loved the detailed engraving of the Wings of Freedom, but kept it empty until she decided what sketch to put inside. After the Rumbling, she puts a sketch of Eren inside of her locket.

-She tried to improve her drawing skills so she could draw a perfect picture of Dawson so she didn't forget what he looked like. Art is something very therapeutic for her and helps her relax.

-She doesn't want to have children and put them through what she's been through. There's also the factor that she doesn't really like children that much.

-She is very secretive about her sketchbook and will only let very few people look at it. Nathanael flipped a page before she could warn him and he ended up finding some nude art, and they never spoke of this nor did he dare do that again.

-Eren asked Tay if she could draw a picture of his late-mother and tried his best to describe her as to not forget what she looked like. When she showed him the drawing, he cried from happiness knowing he wouldn't forget his mother's face.

-In a modern AU, she works as a barista for an independent café/freelancing artist. Her aesthetic would also be pink goth that matches Eren's grunge aesthetic. (Power couple.)

-Her cat Agatha is based off of my real life cat, also named Agatha

-Being an Aries and Gemini pairing, Eren and Tay balance each other out and it makes them a compatible couple. She finds herself intrigued by his determination and encourages him to pursue his dreams, and he finds himself always listening to her go on her biggest passions and she is soon willing to open up to him. They bring out the best in each other, however they do have a handful of issues with both of them being as hard headed, and Tay will not hesitate to tell him off if he raises his voice at her.

-Tay and Mel are such close friends that a majority of their friends and Nathanael thought they were dating for the longest time.

-The ship name between her and Eren is TayRen

-Her spirit animal is a doe

Treatment of Acne scar in home

Types of Acne Scars

Atrophic Scars :This type of scar happens when the skin does not refurbish itself and has a permanent dent on its surface due to acne breakouts. These are ice pick, boxcar and rolling scars.

Hypertrophic Scars Raised scars that develop because the body produces too much collagen when healing. These are less frequent and may be more severe, usually troubling.

‍ Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots or patches that remain after the acne has healed, results from increased melanin production during inflammations.

Aloe Vera: Aloe vera has become popular for its drama and healing properties. It assists in the process of reduction in inflammation and the regeneration of the skin. Apply fresh gel taken from the plant directly onto the affected area. Allow it to remain for about twenty minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. With regular use, it can help reduce the scarring and enhance skin texture.

Honey: Honey is a natural moisturizer, and at the same time, it harbors antimicrobial properties. It hastens the wound healing and hence reduces scar formation. Egg Apply raw egg on the scars and keep it applied for minutes before washing off. For best results, use this remedy daily.

Lemon Juice: Lemon being a natural exfoliator has bleaching components as it contains a lot of vitamin C. It can help in lightening dark spots and also help in brightening the general tone of the skin. Lemon juice being very strong should be diluted twice with water and applied to the scars in an amount for atleast 10–15 minutes. A good rinse is needed and thereafter sunscreen application, as lemon can make your skin photosensitive.

Green Tea Extract: Green tea is an antioxidant that heals the skin by reducing inflammation. Apply green tea bags for around 10–15 minutes on the affected areas, or just use green tea extract in making a paste and applying. It may help in reducing the redness and enhance the vibrancy and healthy look of the skin.

Coconut Oil : Coconut oil is very well known to moisturize the skin and for its anti-inflammatory qualities. It also has fatty acids that help repair the skin to get rid of the appearance of the scars. Apply just a small amount of virgin coconut oil on the scars before bedtime and leave it overnight. Rinse off in the morning.

Vitamin E: This helps in the treatment of the skin and will reduce the scar marks to a great extent. Vitamin E oil can be directly applied on the scars and massage topical creams containing vitamin E into them. Leave overnight for good results.

Success Tips

Consistency: These remedies have to be done on a regular basis for effectiveness. Be patient; these will take anywhere from a few weeks up to months to treat the scar. Patch Test: Always conduct a patch test before going the whole hog with any new remedy to reassure yourself that your body does not react adversely. Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen on a daily basis, as sun exposure increases the risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation. Healthy skin routine: Healthy skin emanates from a good skincare routine. Proper cleansing and moisturizing support general health for your skin.

**We would always advise you to consult a good dermatologist.

How to Reduce Dark Circles and Under-Eye Bags

Dark circles are almost the most common reason for a tired and aged look in both men and women. These can occur as a result of many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, and core health issues. This comprehensive guide will explain in detail the various causes of dark circles, their treatments that really work, and preventive measures for the same to achieve brighter and healthier-looking skin.

What Are Dark Circles?

Dark circles refer to the darkened skin under the eyes. This common condition affects people of all ages. Although dark circles are commonly associated with fatigue or a lack of sleep, they can be caused by a variety of causes such as aging, heredity, lifestyle choices, and medical conditions. Dark rings under the eyes typically appear gloomy or blue. Depending on your skin tone and the underlying cause, they may seem blue, purple, or dark brown. The skin under the eyes is more sensitive and thinner than the skin elsewhere on the body. Signs of damage and tension, including as fine lines, discoloration, and swelling, are also more common in this area.

Causes of Dark Circles

Getting to the root cause of your dark circles is very instrumental to performing effective treatment. Some common causes are enumerated below:

Genetics Genetics definitely play a big role in the formation of dark circles. Chances of getting it are pretty high if your parents or relatives have it.

Aging As we age, the skin starts to thin out and loses some collagen. This causes the blood vessels under the eyes to become visible and appear as dark circles.

Lack of Sleep Sleep deficiency can lead to dilation of blood vessels which, at times, creates an illusion that they are more prominent underneath the eye. Additionally, lack of adequate sleep causes the body to hold liquid, which causes puffiness and darkening.

Allergies The presence of allergies causes the body to release histamine which is a blood vessel dilator, eventually resulting in a dark appearance. Also, if one continues rubbing or scratching his or her eyes due to allergies, then it will aggravate the dark circles.

Dehydration Dehydration makes the skin sink under the eyes, thereby revealing dark circles.

Lifestyle Factors A poor diet, excessive drinking, and smoking all contribute towards dark circles. Such habits shall impact blood circulation and the skin condition in general.

Treatments That Actually Work for Dark Circles

Topical Solutions

Eye Creams Eye creams rich in ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides may help lighten and tighten the area under the eyes. Look for products specifically targeting dark circles.

Cold Compress A cold compress can help compress blood vessels and de-puff a puffy eye, making dark circles less noticeable. Chilled cucumber slices or a cold spoon can be used to get a cool relief from darkness.

Medical Treatments

Chemical Peels These chemical peels reduce this pigmentation and improve skin texture. The procedures remove the superficial layer of skin, increasing cell turnover, and giving way to brighter skin from underneath.

Laser Therapy The laser treatments work to target the pigmentation while stimulating collagen production that will help do away with the dark circles and improve your skin texture.

Dermal Fillers That's where dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid can be injected into the tear trough area to create volume and reflect light onto the shadowy area. This works best for dark circles brought on by thinning skin or loss of fat.

Home Remedies

Cucumber Slices The slice of cucumber is known for its cooling effect, and has antioxidants that help dispel puffiness and brighten up the under eye area. Place chilled cucumber slices on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Tea Bags Tea bags, mainly green or chamomile tea, contain caffeine and antioxidants that help reduce swelling and improve blood flow. Steep the tea bags, let them cool off, and apply them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Almond Oil and Honey Dip a cotton swab in almond oil and honey mix and apply it in the under-eye circles. Let it stay overnight. Both the ingredients are nourishing and will lighten the dark circles with regular use.

Prevention

Healthy Life Habits

Get Enough Sleep Aim for 7-9 hours of good sleep every night to help reduce dark circles. Have a regular sleeping pattern and create a relaxing routine before bed.

Stay Hydrated Drink much water throughout the day. This will keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Dehydration makes dark circles more prominent.

Eat a Balanced Diet A good intake of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can promote healthier skin. Foods that are rich in vitamins C and K and iron can help in reducing dark circles.

Sun Protection

Use Sunscreen Protect your skin from the sun. This will help in preventing pigmentation and premature aging. Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 throughout the day, even on cloudy days.

Wear Sunglasses Sunglasses will act to shield the tender skin around the eyes from UV damage and thus help reduce formation of dark circles and other forms of sun damage.

Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes Eye rubbing and scratching will break the delicate skin and, as such, will further aggravate circles under the eyes. If scratching or irritation is needed, then local eye drops will be effective, or seek medical advice.

Consult a Doctor

Persistent Dark Circles If you have dark circles and many treatments have been tried by you to no avail, then it is time to go to a dermatologist. They can identify the root cause and treat accordingly.

Associated Symptoms If other symptoms are associated with it like swelling, itching, or pain, then the advice of the doctor must be sought as it can signal some underlying health problem that may need treatment.

Conclusion

Dark circles can be a pain in the neck, but with the right approach, they sure can be managed. You can ensure that your skin looks brighter and healthier by just grasping the causes, treating them, and living a healthy lifestyle. Keep in mind that it's all about being consistent; sometimes it takes time for results to be noticeable.

Consult a dermatologist or professional skincare expert for advice and treatments tailor-made for you. They will guide you as needed based on your skin type and condition.

By the end of this ultimate guide, you will have gone through some of the most dramatic ways of reducing dark circles under your eyes and achieving a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

[ad_1] Title: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Anti-Aging Cream for Your Skin Introduction: As we age, our skin starts to show signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. To combat these signs of aging, many people turn to anti-aging creams. However, with so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the best one for your skin. In this ultimate guide, we will provide you with all the information you need to choose the best anti-aging cream for your skin. 1. Determine Your Skin Type: Before choosing an anti-aging cream, it is important to determine your skin type. Different skin types require different ingredients and formulations. If you have oily skin, look for a lightweight, oil-free formula. If you have dry skin, opt for a rich, hydrating cream. Combination skin may benefit from a cream that balances both hydration and oil control. 2. Look for Key Ingredients: When choosing an anti-aging cream, look for key ingredients that are proven to be effective in reducing the signs of aging. Some common ingredients to look for include retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C, and niacinamide. These ingredients can help to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. 3. Consider Your Skin Concerns: Everyone has different skin concerns when it comes to aging. Whether you are concerned about wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots, or uneven skin tone, there is an anti-aging cream out there for you. Look for a cream that targets your specific skin concerns to achieve the best results. 4. Check for Reviews and Recommendations: Before purchasing an anti-aging cream, be sure to check for reviews and recommendations from other users. Reading reviews can give you insight into how the cream has worked for others and help you make an informed decision. 5. Test Patch Before Use: Before applying a new anti-aging cream all over your face, it is important to do a patch test to ensure that you do not have any adverse reactions. Apply a small amount of the cream to a small area of your skin and wait 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs. 6. Consider Your Budget: Anti-aging creams can vary widely in price, so it is important to consider your budget when choosing a cream. While some high-end creams may be effective, there are also many affordable options on the market that can provide great results. 7. Consult a Dermatologist: If you are unsure about which anti-aging cream is best for your skin, consider consulting a dermatologist. A dermatologist can assess your skin type and concerns and recommend a cream that is tailored to your specific needs. 8. Use Sunscreen Daily: One of the most important steps in preventing signs of aging is to use sunscreen daily. Sun exposure can accelerate the aging process and cause damage to your skin. Be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even on cloudy days. 9. Stay Hydrated and Eat a Healthy Diet: In addition to using an anti-aging cream, it is important to stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet to maintain the health of your skin. Drinking plenty of water and eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants can help to promote healthy, youthful-looking skin. 10.

The Best Vitamin C Serum and Azelaic Acid Cream for Your Skincare Routine

Vitamin C Serum v/s Azelaic Acid Cream

Finding the right products can make all the difference in the skincare world. Two powerhouse ingredients that have gained immense popularity are Vitamin C and Azelaic Acid. Let's dive into why these ingredients are essential and how to choose the best Vitamin C serum and Azelaic Acid cream for your skincare routine.

The Benefits of Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that offers a myriad of benefits for the skin. Here are some reasons why incorporating a Vitamin C serum into your routine can be transformative:

Brightening Effect: Vitamin C is renowned for its ability to brighten the skin. It helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, giving your complexion a more even tone.

Collagen Boosting: This powerful antioxidant stimulates collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Regular use of Vitamin C serum can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Protection Against Sun Damage: While Vitamin C is not a substitute for sunscreen, it does offer some protection against UV damage. It neutralizes free radicals, which are harmful molecules generated by sun exposure.

Hydration: Many Vitamin C serums are formulated with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, providing a moisture boost to keep your skin looking plump and youthful.

Choosing the Best Vitamin C Serum

When selecting a Vitamin C serum, consider the following factors:

Concentration: Look for a serum with a concentration of 10-20% Vitamin C. Higher concentrations can be more effective but may also cause irritation for sensitive skin types.

Form of Vitamin C: L-ascorbic acid is the most researched and effective form of Vitamin C in skincare. Other stable derivatives like sodium ascorbyl phosphate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate are also good options.

Packaging: Vitamin C is sensitive to light and air, so choose a serum that comes in an opaque, airtight container to ensure its potency.

Additional Ingredients: Serums with complementary ingredients like Vitamin E and ferulic acid can enhance the effectiveness of Vitamin C.

The Benefits of Azelaic Acid Cream

Azelaic Acid is another superstar ingredient that offers a range of benefits for various skin concerns:

Anti-Inflammatory: Azelaic Acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm redness and irritation, making it ideal for those with rosacea or sensitive skin.

Acne-Fighting: It helps to unclog pores and reduce the growth of acne-causing bacteria, making it effective for treating mild to moderate acne.

Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Azelaic Acid can lighten dark spots and melasma, giving your skin a more even tone.

Gentle Exfoliation: Unlike some exfoliating acids, Azelaic Acid is gentle on the skin and can be used by those with sensitive skin without causing irritation.

Choosing the Best Azelaic Acid Cream

When selecting an Azelaic Acid cream, keep the following in mind:

Concentration: Look for a product with a concentration of 10-20% Azelaic Acid for optimal results.

Formulation: Ensure the cream is formulated for your skin type. Some products may be more suitable for oily skin, while others are better for dry or sensitive skin.

Complementary Ingredients: Products with soothing ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid can enhance the benefits of Azelaic Acid.

Brand Reputation: Choose products from reputable brands known for their effective formulations and quality ingredients.

Incorporating Vitamin C Serum and Azelaic Acid Cream into Your Routine

To get the most out of these products, follow these steps:

Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin for treatment.

Apply Vitamin C Serum: In the morning, apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum to your face and neck. Allow it to absorb fully before moving on to the next step.

Moisturize: Follow with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to lock in hydration.

Apply Sunscreen: Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Night Routine: In the evening, after cleansing, apply the Azelaic Acid cream to your face. Follow with your regular moisturizer.

Conclusion

Incorporating Vitamin C serum and Azelaic Acid cream into your skincare routine can yield remarkable results. With their combined benefits of brightening, anti-aging, acne-fighting, and soothing properties, these ingredients can help you achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion. Remember to choose products that suit your skin type and concerns, and always patch-test new products to avoid potential irritation. Happy skincare!

because I am very stressed and sorting things makes me less stressed

under a cut bc long

I have twelve shades in my collection (only decided to move from “having a few” to “actively collecting” about 6 months ago and have a rule to only buy them when I see them in the wild and one at a time. sure I could order them all. that would be boring tho)

going to rate them on name, colour, and formula /5 for each

1. all things

name: I can’t tell if this shade is “all things 000” or “all things ooo” or just “all things”. I could look it up but then I’d forget to come back to this post. anyway it’s a bs name. a nail polish cannot represent all things. 1/5

colour: it’s a light salmon pink that tbh does not look very good on me. 2/5 it was fun when I went to see Barbie

Using a Coffee Eye Mask and Caffeine Eye Cream for Brighter, Revitalized Eyes

Dark circles, puffiness, and fatigued-looking eyes are common complaints in today's fast-paced environment. The sensitive skin around our eyes frequently displays the initial symptoms of stress and exhaustion, whether because of hard workdays, sleep deprivation, or just aging naturally. Fortunately, the beauty industry has created a number of remedies to address these issues; the coffee eye mask and caffeine eye cream are two of the more well-liked ones. These products use caffeine's rejuvenating properties to give the under-eye area a more young, lively appearance.

The Science Behind Caffeine in Skincare

One potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory qualities is caffeine. It reduces redness and puffiness by constricting blood vessels when administered topically. Caffeine also increases blood flow, which helps lessen the visibility of dark circles. Caffeine's dual action makes it a perfect element for under-eye treatments, where discolouration and puffiness are prevalent problems.

Coffee Eye Mask: A Natural Solution

A eye cream with caffeine is typically made with natural ingredients such as ground coffee beans, honey, and coconut oil. These ingredients work together to provide a soothing and effective treatment for the under-eye area.

1. Reduces Puffiness: The caffeine in the coffee eye mask constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and puffiness. This is especially beneficial in the morning when eyes tend to be the most swollen.

2. Brightens Dark Circles: Regular use of a coffee eye mask can help lighten dark circles. The antioxidants in coffee, combined with its anti-inflammatory properties, work to improve the overall appearance of the under-eye area.

3. Provides Hydration: Ingredients like honey and coconut oil provide deep hydration, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Hydrated skin looks plumper and more youthful.

4. Natural Exfoliation: Ground coffee beans provide gentle exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal. This leads to a smoother, more even skin tone.

To use a coffee eye mask, simply mix ground coffee with a small amount of honey and coconut oil to form a paste. Apply the mixture under your eyes and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. For best results, use the mask two to three times a week.

Caffeine Eye Cream: A Daily Essential

While a coffee eye mask is a great occasional treatment, caffeine eye cream offers a convenient and effective daily solution. These creams are formulated to deliver a concentrated dose of caffeine along with other beneficial ingredients to the delicate skin around the eyes.

1. Instant De-Puffing: Caffeine eye creams are designed to provide quick relief from puffiness. The caffeine constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and giving the eyes a more rested appearance.

2. Long-Term Brightening: With regular use, caffeine eye creams can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Many formulations also include ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide, which further brighten the skin.

3. Anti-Aging Benefits: Caffeine eye creams often contain additional anti-aging ingredients such as peptides and hyaluronic acid. These help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin around the eyes look smoother and more youthful.

4. Ease of Use: Caffeine eye creams are easy to incorporate into your daily skincare routine. Simply apply a small amount to the under-eye area in the morning and evening, gently patting it into the skin with your ring finger.

Choosing the Right Product

When selecting a coffee eye mask or caffeine eye cream, it's important to consider your skin type and specific concerns. For those with sensitive skin, opt for products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile. If your main concern is aging, look for formulations that include peptides and hyaluronic acid.

Additionally, always check the ingredient list for any potential allergens. While natural products are generally safe, it's possible to have sensitivities to certain ingredients.

Conclusion

Two effective remedies for dark circles and puffiness around the eyes are coffee eye cream and coffee eye mask. You will look more radiant and youthful if you use The [pH]ix products in your skincare regimen. The advantages of caffeine for the sensitive skin around your eyes are evident, regardless of whether you choose the easy, natural DIY method of making a coffee eye mask or the quick fix of purchasing a pre-made caffeine eye cream. Why not attempt these remedies and observe the results for yourself? Your eyes will be appreciative.
