By dedicating time and effort to personal growth, you give yourself the chance to truly learn to love and appreciate who you are. Investing in yourself helps you uncover and recognize your potential, leading to a deeper sense of self-worth and accomplishment.

Here are some tips :

Begin by setting goals. Focus on areas where you want to grow and establish realistic, achievable goals, along with brief notes on what you hope to accomplish. These goals might relate to your career, personal interests, or emotional well-being. Write them down and make a plan to reach them by breaking them into smaller, manageable steps that suit you. Make sure to listen to your own heart while doing this! When people are unsure about something, they're likely to copy the actions of those who seem like they're able to fend for themself. However, you can't blindly do that. The path of self-improvement is a path of trial and error, there's no absolute correct way or method to approach things, so don't be stuck doing something you know isn't meant for you. Create your own path! Then, take small daily actions towards these goals — just a couple of minutes each day can bring you closer to where you want to be.

The next step is to cultivate an environment where you feel safe! You should seek out positive influences within your life as it can motivate you towards working to become the person you'd like to be. Distance yourself from people who don't desire to see you successful, or people who either drain your energy or foster negativity within your life. I'm sure it's harder to do than say, but please remember that your well-being is more important for you to protect than to care for people who don't deserve it. Changing your environment can open up exciting new opportunities. Sometimes, a fresh setting can introduce you to new perspectives and possibilities you hadn’t considered before. It’s worth exploring different environments to discover what they might offer and how they can positively impact your life!

Finally, take time to reflect on your progress. Make it a habit to reflect on your journey and recognize what you've managed to do, whether through journaling or a monthly reflection. Celebrate all successes, big or small, and learn from setbacks without being harsh on yourself. Reflecting helps you see how much you’ve accomplished and perhaps you'll come to appreciate your growth and effort!

Pile 02.

Creating a healthy routine that works for you is another effective method to nurture the love you extend towards yourself! Through actively caring for your own well-being, you're showing yourself that you're worth the effort. You might feel like it's a hassle at first, especially if this routine is a complete change from your previous lifestyle, but start small! Rushing won't build you a stable foundation, taking it slow with thoughtful steps will.

Here are some tips :

Make your physical health a priority! Staying active can greatly benefit your mental and emotional well-being. Start with activities you enjoy and can realistically do, focusing on the present rather than the end result. Alongside exercise, nourish your body with healthy foods and stay hydrated. Incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your meals, and remember that small, gradual changes can lead to lasting habits. Additionally, aim for consistent, restful sleep by establishing a calming bedtime routine. The goal of this is to create a routine that feels supportive and manageable for you, so don't be too caught up in following other people's footsteps. We're all different, do what your heart is telling you! Learning to trust yourself is another aspect to self-love after all, right?

In addition to focusing on physical health, it's crucial to nurture your mental and emotional well-being with activities that promote relaxation and reduce stress, as these are equally necessary for your overall health. These activities help you reconnect with yourself and gain a better understanding of who you are. It's also beneficial to try new things, which can further enhance the understanding you have of yourself!

Setting boundaries is also crucial. Learn to say no to commitments that drain your energy or time. Prioritize your own needs and make space for self-care in your schedule. This might involve setting aside specific times each week for self-care activities and balancing work, social obligations, and personal time. Establishing these boundaries is key to maintaining your well-being and ensuring you have time to recharge. It's important to be empathetic and understanding, but avoid becoming a people-pleaser who is able to sacrifice their own well-being for others who don't deserve it. If others think you're rude for respectfully managing your energy, don't let it bother you. While it's easier said than done, consider who is more pitiable, the person making an effort to care for themselves or the person who is upset by someone doing so? If you're clear about your boundaries while remaining respectful, there shouldn't be any real issue as setting boundaries doesn't make you rude. Don't let selfish people alter how you view yourself. However, if you're genuinely being rude, that's a different matter. It's not right to mistreat someone who doesn't deserve it just for your own peace of mind. Even if they do deserve it, think of what you want for yourself instead of acting on impulses that you might regret once you've come back to your senses. Always embrace responsibility rather than avoiding it, or else it'll likely come back to haunt you even if it's not physically.

Pile 03.

Learning to love yourself often begins with practicing inward compassion, through means of treating yourself with kindness and understanding. You can't expect positive change if you're constantly dragging yourself down. It might seem like insecurity makes you more aware of your actions, but thinking poorly of yourself isn't helpful. When you focus solely on your flaws, you risk losing a rational view of your behavior. This distorted perception can prevent you from genuinely improving and might even cause harm rather than good. By being kind to yourself, you avoid being trapped by the illusions in your mind. Remember, everything starts from within, and the external world is neutral.

Here are some tips :

Reflect on the language you use towards yourself! Whenever you're talking to yourself, try to keep in mind how many of your thoughts are either pessimistic, judgemental or harsh. Afterwards, try to gradually change the way you talk to yourself by using more supportive and encouraging language like you would towards a loved one whenever you feel the urge to be self-critical. I'm not asking you to become an idealist or an optimist who never gets frustrated. Rather, it's important to remember that being humble doesn't mean being negative about yourself. Constant self-criticism only shows that you're not even on your own side which isn't good. Don't betray yourself for nothing!

Practice mindfulness, as well as forgiveness! This can help you stay present and aware of your own thoughts and feelings without false judgment. Techniques like meditation, or taking a walk in nature can allow you to look at things from several perspectives while also allowing yourself self-awareness without an unhealthy amount of self-criticism. By no means am I stating that you haven't done anything wrong in your life, but we're all human beings with flaws. If you've done something wrong, even after you've looked at the issue from several perspectives, then own up to it! To be a person who does nothing but complain about their incompetence isn't going to solve your issue, at least be mindful enough to not do it again in the future! Once is a mistake, and twice could be too, but once you make the same mistake too often, don't you think it's time for you to end this vicious cycle of yours through whatever means you can?

Requests are open 💌

( ISFJ + INTJ )

PART 2

ISFJ:

Yuuji Itadori = Boyfriend

Like the sun and the moon, you both complete each other. He consistently admires your dedication to protect him and prioritize his well-being. He's the type who cares for others more than himself so finding someone ( You ) who places him first, warms his heart and makes him feel special. He often encourages you to step out of your comfort zone. Yuuji brings enthusiasm that lights up your world, and infuses joy into your life. In return, you bring peace and tranquility and comfort (100% your relationship would last forever).

Megumi Fushiguro = Soulmate.

Both of you share many qualities making you almost identical. The most prominent one is your dedication to protect others and loved ones and that what drew you closer and formed your soulmate bond. Your bond is full of strong sense of loyalty support and commitment, always having each other's backs. Together you maintain a balanced atmosphere. Your bond remains entirely platonic.

Choso Kamo = Bestfriend

He considers you as a family member. You don't need words to understand each other, you spend a lot of time together so it became easy for you to read each other like an open book. Comfortable silence is cherished given your shared quiet nature. You always make sure to make each other feel included in everything whether they are family gatherings or normal hangouts. You always stand by each other through highs and lows. You serve as his emotional support and you find in him a thoughtful listener. Fostering a sense of balance in your relationship.

Mahito = Enemy

Both of you are extreme opposites, you live to protect and he lives to kill. You have an intense and hostile relationship. Mahito always has to provoke and trigger you somehow targeting your loved ones. He craves violence and he thinks you're the best opponent to have a brutal duel with. Your fights are always driven by hatred from your side and amusement from Mahito's side. Both of you always try to sabotage each other's efforts, you strive to maintain a safe environment and Mahito works on creating constant chaos tension and threat.

INTJ:

Geto Suguru = Boyfriend

Suguru is an INTJ himself, so it's like finding your other half. You have a unique and intellectual dynamics. Your relationship built on shared interests and goals and mutual appreciation of each other's qualities. Despite being independent and self-reliant you managed to create a strong bond based on encouragement, pushing each other forward to reach your goals.

Ryomen Sukuna = Enemy

You and Sukuna are alike but you lead the good side while he leads the dark side. He takes the whole rivalry thing personal, as much as he hates you and tries to kill you whenever he grasps the chance he still has a lot of respect for you. In fights both you and Sukuna always try to assert dominance. Whenever you are in the same place everyone around can feel the suffocating tension making everyone feel and unsafe. You share the same qualities however you use them to help people and Sukuna uses them to break people.

Yuta Okkotsu = Ex-boyfriend

INTJ's logical and rational thinking clashes with Yuta's emotional needs he is an emotionally dependent person who inserts feelings most of the time almost in everything. But you always depend on the power of mind overshadowing your emotions. The clash of needs results in misunderstanding leading you to break up but you're still good friends though.

Megumi Fushiguro = Bestfriend

You are the quiet and composed duo. Both of you enjoy each other's presence silently, while sitting in a comfortable silence. When you are in the mood for a discussion you often engage in intellectual chats. You enjoy staying inside doing indoor activities like reading or cooking. Hanging out together is a free therapy for both of you.

Douma & s/o practicing Tessenjutsu - headcanons

Requested by: @grossograsso ♥

MASTERLIST

Douma, being skilled in combat and knowledgeable about various forms of martial arts, takes a keen interest in your desire to learn tessenjutsu, the art of fighting with a tessen (iron fan). He sees it as an opportunity to bond further and share a common interest

Douma's approach to training you is patient and supportive. He understands the importance of starting from the basics and gradually progressing. He helps you master the fundamental techniques, offering guidance and gentle corrections along the way. "Now, focus on your footwork. Keep your stance stable, and remember to pivot your hips for more power. Ready? Begin!"

There are times when you become frustrated with a difficult technique, feeling like you're not making any progress. Sensing your discouragement, Douma surprises you with a small gift — a beautifully designed tessen that he personally crafted. It serves as a reminder of his belief in your abilities and reignites your determination to improve

As you train together, Douma's eyes sparkle with admiration as he witnesses your growth and dedication. He encourages you, praising your progress and helping you refine your skills. Your training sessions become moments of shared passion and connection. "Impressive! Your movements are becoming more natural. Keep refining your technique, and soon you'll be a master of tessenjutsu!"

Despite your best efforts, accidents happen, and sometimes wounds are inevitable. When you accidentally cut yourself with the tessen, Douma's concern immediately takes over. He swiftly tends to you, gently cleaning and bandaging the wound with utmost care, his touch both gentle and reassuring. "Ah, Y/N, you need to be more focused, my little lotus. We don't want you to bleed out, yeah?"

To add a touch of humor to your training, Douma challenges you to a friendly tessenjutsu duel. Despite his formidable skills, he purposely hams up his defeat, pretending to be dramatically defeated by your swift strikes and exaggeratedly collapsing to the ground. You can't help but burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting the seriousness of your practice

In the serene setting of the garden within his temple, Douma and you train on the bridges that stretch above the large pond. The peaceful atmosphere, with vibrant koi carps swimming gracefully beneath them and lotus flowers adorning the water's surface, creates a peaceful backdrop for your practice

Beyond the physical aspect, Douma also helps you strengthen your mental resilience. He encourages you when you feel discouraged, reminding you of your progress and highlighting your strengths. His unwavering belief in your abilities serves as a powerful motivation

Douma's presence provides a sense of security during your training sessions. His watchful eyes never stray too far from you, ready to offer guidance or protection if needed. He creates an environment where you feel safe to explore your skills and push your limits

Training sessions often become moments of shared laughter and lightheartedness. Douma infuses your practice with playful banter and witty remarks, creating an atmosphere that fosters enjoyment and camaraderie

In this dynamic of trust, growth, and shared passion, Douma and you discover not only the art of tessenjutsu but also the depths of your love for each other, blossoming amidst the beauty of the garden they call your own. "I can't help but feel an immense sense of pride watching your development, seeing how far you've come. Your dedication and determination have truly paid off. Your strikes are precise, your footwork has improved significantly, and your overall control of the tessen is impressive. You've become a force to be reckoned with."

ᓄᐦᑕᐃᐧᕀ ᐊᐢᑯᑖᐢᑯᐱᓱᐣ nohtawiy askotâskopison, My Father’s Cradleboard by Morgan Possberg Denne

The New Gallery, November 18 - December 22, 2023

“Cradleboards have been used for thousands of years by our ancestors to carry and love for our future generations. They have protected us, acted as an external womb, and given us a place as children to watch our parents' culture and learn from a safe distance. I’ve always wondered if the fact that neither my father, his father, or myself was ever put in a cradleboard may have had a long term impact on our development, personhood, and our coping mechanisms to the ways that colonialism, residential schools and the foster care system has affected my family.

Now as an adult I deeply wish I could rewind the clock and put myself, and my father before me, and his father before him in a cradleboard as a child. To softly sing songs to us, give us safety, and to give us a connection to our culture in a safe environment. Maybe this would fix things. As kids when we were supposed to be kept safe and playing in the woods we were instead being prepped for the meat factory - the eternal meat grinder of colonialism.

The western world teaches us to push aside this childhood imagining and innocence - “These things can’t be undone!”, but what if they could? In another world somebody took better care of us, in another time we learned to drum and sing and dance, in another place we were listened to by adults who had the capacity to love and care for us.

These hot chest and aching throat feelings, the times of biting back angry tears and saying “It’s fine” have to count for something….right?”

“Morgan Possberg Denne is Two-Spirit millennial scoop and foster care survivor; with settler, Cree, Metis, and Chippewa blood connections. They have grown up in treaty 7 territory, and have relatives in southern and northern Ontario. Morgan creates imaginative, illustrative objects which could be seen as pieces of possible narratives, different ways to connect with the past and potential futures through layers of abstraction with no right or wrong answer. What matters to them is not accurately recreating the past or to predict the future, but rather to capture an inner truth and a possible alternative reality of colonial experiences. In a sense, creating new culture from a series of “what-ifs” and new stories / lore. Their work has been recently shown at the Confederation Centre for the Arts and Gallery Gachet.”

CAMP NANO DAY 8/9

(please see tags for trigger warnings)

[first three chapters] [AO3]

============<×^-^×>============

It had been a long time since Bruce had been this unbalanced by the thought of a conversation. He was unafraid to admit, if only to himself, that he was terrified about the kinds of things he'd hear from the young woman now sitting across from him. On the way to his office, he'd asked her if she felt safe and comfortable talking to him by herself, or if she'd prefer having his youngest adopted son sit in with them, and while she was understandably hesitant to let an unknown fifteen year old sit in on their discussion, he'd also seen the way she'd unconsciously relaxed when she saw Tim walk in.

"Before we start, my name is Timothy Drake-Wayne, please call me Tim, and you have permission to hug me, cling to me, cry on me, or even squeeze my hand tight enough to break it. Whatever you need to do to get through this discussion. I'll even leave for snacks if you need to say something intensely personal or that you feel I shouldn't hear," his son said with a small, supportive smile. Bruce was so proud of Tim, he'd come so very far since first coming to them. "I'm very well used to standing in as an emotional support person when a foster kid gets comfortable enough with Bruce to want to tell him exactly what happened wherever they'd been before coming here, and I'm perfectly content to keep doing so for as long as I live here."

Bruce watched as Jazz processed everything Tim said and caught the question in her gaze before she'd even opened her mouth to speak it. "Tim has decided he wants to work with CPS when he gets older, take his own experiences with the system and use them to help improve it. I do whatever I can to help him, to help any of the children who find themselves in my care, achieve his dreams," he explained softly, pride warming his heart and voice. "I'm not sure how well you remember him, but my first adopted son, Dick, recently decided to open his own gymnastics studio here in Gotham. His experience with you and Danny when you lived with us really left an impression."

Jazz nodded in understanding before glancing at Tim, reached for his hand, and took a fortifying breath. "My—the Fentons are… scientists, inventors, innovators, they—they discovered, independently, an entire species of interdimensional beings with incredible powers and such a rich mixture of cultures, and… and they decided those beings were unnatural, that they were evil and needed to be experimented on and exterminated. They created a portal to these beings' home dimension in our basement without following any sort of safety regulations or protocols." Jazz took another breath, swallowing as she looked down at hold on Tim's hand. "Th-the green on me and Danny when we first got here, it's called ectoplasm. It's basically the lifeblood of these beings, it makes up almost their entire bodies. Their dimension is full of it, as any excess they produce gets shed off into the environment around them.

"When the Fentons created their portal into the Infinite Realms, they didn't realize they'd installed a secondary switch that also needed to be flicked for the thing to work. A switch that was on the inside of the portal shaft and could only be reached by physically going inside it." She shuddered as she tried to bite back tears. "I wasn't home at the time. I was tutoring a fellow student in English at the local fast food joint. Danny was at home with his two best friends. Mom and dad had left the day before to track down the supposed "ghost" that had caused their magnum opus to fail to work. He should have been safe.

"I got a frantic phone call from Danny's friend, Tucker, telling me I needed to get home ASAP, that Danny'd had an accident and wasn't waking up. The student I was tutoring asked me what I was waiting for, to get going, and so I did. I—by the time I got back to the house, Sam and Tucker had managed to drag Danny away from the portal, but i-it was pretty obvious what the accident was, I mean… the portal hadn't been on before I left…"

Bruce had a bad feeling about where this story was going. He'd seen the product of lab accidents too often to be able to con himself into thinking it could be going in any other direction. He almost stopped her from continuing, but while she was very obviously distressed, the process of telling him, of telling them, seemed to actually be doing her some good, so he kept his silence and watched as she clenched Tim's hand even harder for a brief second before relaxing her grip almost entirely.

"Sam was fussing over Danny's prone form, trying to make him more comfortable on the steel flooring without moving him too much, while Tucker was pacing between the two of them and the swirling mass of green that was the portal when I got there. As soon as they saw me, Tucker was on me with tears in his eyes. "We thought he'd died," he said. "The screaming—we thought he was dead. We're so sorry, he could have died—we're so unbelievably sorry,"" Jazz quoted with a strained voice. "Sam's makeup was running from how much she was crying. Sam never cries, and there she was, kneeling over my barely breathing baby brother, nearly sobbing in terror and guilt. They—Sam had apparently dared Danny to go inside so they could get a picture, and while in there, Danny tripped, and he hit the secondary switch. The Fentons had apparently not turned the other switch off after the thing didn't work the first time, and Danny ended up paying the price of their stupidity. He was alive, he'd survived, but now he's rightfully terrified of anything to do with electricity above what comes out of your stranded wall outlet. Only, come to find out, Danny hadn't survived. Not entirely… not unchanged."

Knew it, Bruce thought wearily as he leaned back in his chair. He resisted the urge to rub his hand across his face or run it through his hair and instead just continued to listen to Jazz's tale.

"The combination of all that electricity running through him, killing him, as a portal made pretty much entirely of ectoplasm opened up literally right on top of him changed Danny on a molecular level. He's no longer fully human. He's now something called a halfa, half human and half… half ghost."

FINALLY got that finished! I sincerely apologize for not getting this out yesterday, I had to take a general health day due to both my lactose intolerance realizing, three days after the fact, that I'd eaten dairy and decided it didn't like that at all, and my sleep schedule being crap the past two days (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠) that's why today's post says "day 8/9", I'm counting it for both days since I *did* start writing it yesterday (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

For anyone reading this directly after day 6 but hasn't read any of the reblogs of day 6, this is actually chapter 4 of this fic, not chapter 2. I have two amazing co-writers who have each written an amazing chapter for this fic, which can be more easily read on AO3 by hitting the link up at the top!

Also, due to this fic having two co-writers for it, from now on, when I post a new chapter for it here on Tumblr, I won't be linking back to my previous chapter, since there will be two chapters between each of my own. Instead, I'll be linking back to the first post back on day 6 and to the AO3 version, where the entire fic will be readily available for reading.

Also also, because this is being co-written, any and all updates for this fic will be highly sporadic at best. Please don't harass me or my co-writers for quicker updates, we're all very busy people working together to write this purely for fun.

Have a wonderful morning/day/night everyone!

astro notes: daily transits 8/8

Thursday brings a blend of dreamy and sensitive energies with the Virgo Moon opposing Neptune in the early morning, followed by the Moon's transition into Libra and a trine to Pluto. The day is rounded off with a challenging Moon–Ceres square in the evening, which can make vulnerability difficult, particularly in family dynamics.

Key Influences

Virgo Moon Opposite Neptune (1:40 a.m.): Enigmatic Dreams: This opposition can heighten the abstract and enigmatic nature of dream images, potentially making sleep and early morning reflections more nebulous and confusing.

Moon Enters Libra (2:30 a.m.): Harmony-Seeking: The Moon's ingress into Libra shifts the emotional tone to one that seeks balance, harmony, and fairness in relationships and surroundings.

Moon Trine Pluto (3:30 a.m.): Enhanced Sensitivity: This trine amplifies psychic sensitivity and emotional depth, particularly in understanding and intuiting the needs of loved ones. It fosters a deeper connection and insight into emotional undercurrents.

Moon Square Ceres (7:33 p.m.): Difficulty with Vulnerability: This square can create tension around nurturing and care, making it challenging to express vulnerability or to feel safe in sharing emotional needs, especially within family contexts.

Integrating the Influences

Navigating Dream Confusion: Morning Reflection: Use the early morning hours to reflect on dreams and any nebulous feelings. Journaling can help to capture and make sense of the abstract images and emotions.

Seeking Balance: Embrace Harmony: With the Moon in Libra, focus on creating balance and harmony in your interactions. This is a good time for mediation and finding common ground in relationships.

Deepening Connections: Intuitive Insights: Utilize the Moon-Pluto trine to deepen your connections with loved ones. Pay attention to subtle cues and intuitively respond to the emotional needs of those around you.

Addressing Vulnerability: Safe Spaces: Be mindful of the challenges around vulnerability in the evening. Create safe and supportive environments for yourself and others to share feelings without fear of judgment or rejection.

Practical Applications

Morning Routine: Dream Journal: Start the day by journaling any dreams or early morning reflections. This can help to bring clarity and understanding to the abstract images influenced by the Neptune opposition.

Creating Harmony: Balanced Interactions: Focus on fostering balanced and harmonious interactions throughout the day. Engage in activities that promote peace and cooperation, such as mediation or collaborative projects.

Emotional Sensitivity: Deep Conversations: Use the enhanced sensitivity from the Moon-Pluto trine to engage in deep and meaningful conversations with loved ones. This can help to strengthen emotional bonds and mutual understanding.

Evening Reflection: Supportive Environment: In the evening, create a supportive environment where vulnerability is encouraged and respected. This can involve having open-hearted discussions or simply being present for family members.

Tech as a father Chapter 49

Now I gotta say again, my timelines are warped a bit, and the pacing withing can change here and there, just as a reminder. OH and so is my upload rhythm.

Masterlist

Chapter 49: Unwanted care

Orion, the curious and playful five-month-old, delighted in the discovery that throwing his toys over the bunk edge created interesting sounds. With newfound excitement, he gleefully grabbed his tiny playthings, testing the theory over and over again. Each time a toy sailed through the air and produced a distinctive noise upon landing, Orion's eyes sparkled with wonder.

Tech, observing his son's experimentation with a mix of amusement and pride, couldn't help but marvel at Orion's budding curiosity and motor skills. He sat nearby, occasionally offering encouraging smiles and gentle words as Orion continued his exploration of cause and effect. The bunk here on Kamino and on the Havoc Marauder transformed into a miniature playground, echoing with the joyful sounds of a baby's laughter and the clatter of toys meeting the floor. Orion's contagious joy and the playful atmosphere created a heart-warming scene, fostering a precious father-son moment amid the routine of their daily life of a clone.

Tech, recognizing the need for a safety barrier to prevent Orion from accidentally falling off the bunk, remembering the accident from Wrecker’s bunk, took a moment to devise a simple yet effective solution. Drawing from his technical expertise, he gathered some materials available as he has enough laying around in their barracks, one can always reuse even the tiniest thing, contemplating the design for the safety barrier. After a brief but focused period of assembly, Tech fashioned a lightweight and collapsible safety railing that could be easily attached to the side of the bunk here and in the ship. The barrier provided a protective boundary for Orion, ensuring he could explore and play on the bunk without the risk of accidental falls.

Tech, satisfied with his creation, tested the safety railing to confirm its stability and security. Once convinced of its effectiveness, he carefully installed it on his bunk. Now, with the safety measure in place, Tech could confidently leave Orion on the bunk, knowing that his son would be shielded from any potential mishaps. Not that he would ever leave him alone, especially on Kamino.

This practical solution reflected Tech's commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment for Orion, showcasing the blend of his technical skills with the love and care he devoted to his role as a father. But Orion is not appreciating the care of his father right now.

Observing Orion's unease and reluctance toward the newly installed safety railing, Tech realized the need to address his son's concerns. Carefully, he approached Orion, kneeling down to his level and offering a reassuring presence. Tech spoke to Orion in a soothing tone, attempting to alleviate any fear or uncertainty. "Hey there, Orion. This railing is here to keep you safe. See, it's just like a barrier, so you won't accidentally fall off the bunk. It's designed to protect you." To make the experience more positive, Tech reached for one of Orion's favourite toys and placed it within his reach on the bunk, emphasizing that the railing was there to enable playtime without worry. He used gentle gestures and encouraging words, aiming to create a connection between the safety feature and enjoyable activities.

Tech's thoughtful approach aimed to gradually familiarize Orion with the new addition, turning it into a positive element in his environment. The caring father continued to interact with Orion, ensuring that the safety railing became an accepted part of their living space. But the little half clone had none of it, throwing his toys as hard as his body allows, nearly managing to hit his father’s face.

Tech, caught off guard by the unexpected toy toss, reacted quickly, raising an eyebrow at Orion's display of disapproval. Suppressing a chuckle, he retrieved the toy and examined it, feigning a serious expression. "Well, it seems the toy is not a fan of the railing either," Tech remarked in a playful tone, trying to turn the moment into a light-hearted interaction. He set the toy aside and focused on Orion, maintaining his calm demeanour.

"Alright, Orion, let's find a compromise. What if we make a game out of it? We can play with the toy together, and the railing will be like our special boundary. You throw the toy, and I'll catch it. What do you say?" Tech suggested, introducing an element of fun to help Orion associate the safety feature with an enjoyable activity. Tech's goal was to make the railing less intimidating for Orion by incorporating play and bonding into the experience. He awaited Orion's response, ready to adapt to his son's preferences while ensuring a secure environment. But Tech, understands that Orion is still too young to grasp the concept of playing catch, sighed softly, realizing that the introduction of the railing hadn't gone as smoothly as he hoped. He carefully picked up Orion, soothingly murmuring to him as he held his upset son close.

"It's alright, Orion. Change can be a bit overwhelming, I get it," Tech reassured him, gently rocking him in his arms. "Let's try something else, shall we?" Tech pondered for a moment, considering ways to make the environment more comfortable for Orion. He decided to remove the railing temporarily, intending to find a compromise that balanced safety and Orion's comfort. "Okay, buddy, let's give it another shot without the railing for now. We'll figure out a solution together," Tech said, adjusting the bunk to accommodate Orion's preference. As Tech worked to address Orion's concerns, he remained patient, recognizing that adapting to new surroundings could be challenging for an infant. The goal was to create a secure and welcoming space, ensuring that Orion felt at ease in his ever-changing environment on Kamino.

Tech, with a small smile, approached Hunter, gauging the situation. Hunter was laying in his bunk, eyes closed with headphones on, something he does to not overstimulate his enhanced senses. He carefully placed Orion between Hunter's side and arm, letting the little one feel the comforting presence of his uncle. As Orion happily smacked on Hunter's arms, Tech swiftly and discreetly installed the railing, hoping to find a balance that satisfied everyone. As Orion faced the inside of the bunk and not the room itself.

Hunter, surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere and the joyful company of Orion, took off his headphones and looked down at the little one. Orion, seemingly content in his new position, giggled and babbled, completely unaware of the adjustments made to his surroundings. Hunter slightly sitting up and leaning back, opens his mouth but closes it when he sees Tech adjusting the railing.

Tech gave Hunter an understanding nod, signalling that he had modified the bunk for Orion's comfort. Hunter, appreciating the thoughtful gesture, relaxed back into his bunk, watching over Orion as the little one continued to explore his immediate surroundings, now feeling secure with the presence of both Tech and Hunter. The trio found a moment of tranquillity amidst the otherwise dynamic life on Kamino. “You know, Orion this railing isn’t for me, I did not fall out a bunk for a while.” Hunter jokes. Understanding that this is Tech’s way of trying to introduce Orion to changes, which will come tenfold.

Embracing Trans Rights: A Simple Guide to Understanding and Supporting Inclusivity

Introduction:

In recent years, conversations around trans rights have gained momentum, advocating for equal treatment and inclusivity for transgender individuals. Understanding and supporting trans rights is crucial for fostering a society that values diversity and respects the rights of all its members. In this article, we'll explore the basics of trans rights, why they matter, and how we can contribute to a more inclusive world.

Defining Trans Rights:

Trans rights refer to the fundamental human rights and freedoms that should be accorded to transgender individuals. These rights encompass various aspects of life, including legal recognition of gender identity, protection against discrimination, access to healthcare, and the right to live authentically without fear of prejudice.

Why Trans Rights Matter:

Transgender individuals, like everyone else, deserve to live their lives with dignity and respect. Trans rights are essential for creating an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and express their identity without facing discrimination. Advocating for trans rights is a step towards dismantling harmful stereotypes and fostering a more compassionate and understanding community.

Key Aspects of Trans Rights:

Legal Recognition: Transgender individuals should have the right to legal recognition of their gender identity. This includes the ability to change their gender marker on identification documents, ensuring that official records align with their affirmed gender.

Anti-Discrimination Protections: Trans people should be protected from discrimination in various aspects of life, including employment, education, healthcare, and public services. A society that values trans rights actively works to eliminate prejudice and bias.

Access to Healthcare: Quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, including transgender individuals. This includes gender-affirming care, mental health support, and other healthcare services that cater to the unique needs of the transgender community.

Safe Public Spaces: Trans individuals deserve to feel safe in public spaces. Advocating for trans rights involves promoting policies and attitudes that ensure inclusive and safe environments for everyone, regardless of gender identity.

Supporting Trans Rights:

Supporting trans rights is a collective effort that begins with education and understanding. Here are a few simple ways to contribute:

Educate Yourself: Take the time to learn about transgender experiences, challenges, and the importance of trans rights. Understanding fosters empathy and helps dispel myths and misconceptions.

Be an Ally: Stand up against transphobia when you encounter it. Being an ally means supporting and advocating for the rights of transgender individuals, even if you are not personally affected.

Use Inclusive Language: Be mindful of the language you use and strive to be inclusive. Respecting people's chosen names and pronouns contributes to creating a more welcoming environment.

Support Inclusive Policies: Advocate for policies that protect trans rights in your community, workplace, and beyond. Support organizations working towards inclusivity and equality.

Conclusion:

In embracing trans rights, we contribute to building a world where everyone is valued, respected, and free to live authentically. By understanding the basics and actively supporting the rights of transgender individuals, we take a meaningful step towards creating a society that celebrates diversity and ensures equal rights for all.

Pairing - Doyoung x Virgin!Fem!Reader

Synopsis - Doyoung is your first time

Genre - romance x first time x smut

WC - 821

Warnings - first time ; no trust issues omg ; doyoung is a big boy !!

Doyoung was a kind-hearted and understanding person, always striving to make others feel comfortable and cared for. He had recently started dating a wonderful woman: you. From the moment he met you, he could sense a genuine connection and a deep understanding between the two of you. As your relationship blossomed, Doyoung quickly realized that you were someone special, someone he wanted to cherish and protect.

You, on the other hand, were a woman who had consciously chosen to wait for the right person before sharing the intimate aspects of a physical relationship. It was a decision you made based on your values and beliefs. As your relationship with Doyoung progressed, you couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness about taking that next step.

Doyoung, being perceptive and considerate, noticed your apprehension and knew that it was important for him to be patient and understanding. He wanted to create an environment where you felt safe, respected, and entirely at ease. His love for you went beyond physical desires; he wanted to build a foundation of trust and emotional intimacy before exploring the physical aspects of your relationship.

Doyoung made it a priority to have open and honest conversations with you, where he genuinely listened to your thoughts, fears, and desires. He assured you that he respected your decision to wait and that he would never pressure you into anything you weren't ready for.

- Hey baby, take your time. I promise it is okay for me to wait after you.

His words were always filled with genuine care and support, making it clear that he was there for you every step of the way.

He would often surprise you with small gestures to make you feel more comfortable and cherished. Whether it was planning romantic dates or simply holding your hand during moments of vulnerability, Doyoung went out of his way to let you know that your emotional well-being was his top priority.

One evening, after a lovely dinner, Doyoung took you on a moonlit stroll through a serene park. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves overhead, and the stars twinkled in the night sky. It was a perfect setting for a heart-to-heart conversation. He gently held your hand as you walked, his touch conveying both warmth and reassurance.

- I'm really afraid that it will change our relationship you know..

As you shared your thoughts and concerns, Doyoung listened attentively, his eyes filled with understanding. He reaffirmed his commitment to you, emphasizing that he cherished your emotional connection above all else. He wanted you to know that your decision to wait was respected and that he was ready to wait for as long as you needed.

With each passing day, Doyoung continued to prove himself as someone you could trust and rely on. He never pushed your boundaries or made you feel uncomfortable. Instead, he focused on building a strong emotional bond, fostering a love that went beyond physical desires.

As time went on, the walls around your heart began to crumble, and you started to feel more at ease with the idea of exploring physical intimacy with Doyoung. The foundation of trust and emotional connection you had built together gave you the confidence to take that step forward.

When the time finally came for the two of you to share this special moment, Doyoung made sure that everything was focused on your comfort and pleasure.

- Thank you for finally offering yourself to me.

While kissing your lower abdomen, he comes to gently lick your thighs, while moaning with pleasure. Doyoung straightened up suddenly to take off his shirt and through his stocking you could already see his erection.

- May I? he said, looking at your womanhood.

You nod your head positively and Doyoung rushes to kiss your pussy before sliding his tongue in slowly. You moan due to this new sensation and believe me, it doesn't leave your boyfriend indifferent, on the contrary. A little later you finally feel ready to welcome him and his erection now ready to explode. He understands this and hurries to put on a condom. He came in slowly, constantly checking in with you to make sure you were ready and enjoying the experience. His actions were guided by love, respect and a deep understanding of your desires.

Together, you navigated the uncharted waters of physical intimacy, and Doyoung continued to put your needs and emotions first. He created an environment where you could fully express yourself, free from judgment or pressure. With each new experience, your bond grew stronger, as did your trust in Doyoung's unwavering commitment to your well-being.

After a one last hard thrust, signing his orgasm shortly after yours, he pulls out and goes to throw the condom like a big boy.

- Thank you Doyoung, it was as I wanted.

- Everything for the future mother of my children, all this while kissing your forehead

hope you like it

[jaedx]

well hello everyone, i bring to you my only muse (for now) sungjae! here's a brief version of his background and you can read a slightly more detailed one over here, along with his full profile. of course it's still a wip; i'll be adding more info as i write him. dsc available upon request! no pressure liking the post since i'll eventually reach out to everyone 🫵 but if ure really interested pls like hehe <3

born in sydney, australia

parents were a notorious duo of criminals; kang woohyun & kang rina

during an intervention to capture them both, his father got killed and his pregnant mother fled to australia where she gave birth to him months later

attended district x public school 

applied to join the Fire and Disaster Management House as soon as he graduated

due to his background he’s often summoned by the police/protection agency for a few interrogations to assess his intentions and ensure that he has no desire to follow in his parents' footsteps

only government authorities are aware that he is their son, as his mother kept her pregnancy hidden from the public.

personality wise he's quite simple minded and easygoing. the kind of guy that's hard not to befriend but he still keeps a safe distance, even with people he's close to. after being shuffled from one family to another, he's learned not to get too attached (cue abandonment issues ue ue) but enjoys being surrounded by people! maybe why he loves parties so much. he was a very troublesome kid, not having a stable environment to grow up in affected him more than he'd care to admit. leading him to act out and frequently get into trouble. he is not the type to get angry easily (unless it's about his parents tbh), but his job is very demanding and the headaches/fatigue from prolonged use of his ability often make him quite irritable so if you see him walking around frowning and huffing... yeah, that's him 80% of the time. he has his own demons to fight. sungjae sees himself as a good person, not a hero by any means! just someone who uses his ability to keep others safe. but he knows what happened to his parents, understands why they became who they were and often sometimes, in the heat of the moment (bad pun 8))) he feels a surge of adrenaline, imagining his ability unleashed in different circumstances.. something more thrilling.

i have to work on his plots/connections page but here are a few general ideas off the top of my head:

coworkers, good terms, bad terms, neutral im fine w anything. can't deny the huge advantage his ability gives him which could easily create some tensions.

neighbours to share a meal with, watch a movie, sit in silence on the rooftop.. workout buddies?

for some reason your muse despises his parents and sungjae hates them for it. he ends up being rude and cold towards them.

ppl he met while growing up in sydney, people he went to dx public school with, some old foster family members.

people he's helped/encountered during their public assistance activities

someone acting as the lil devil on his shoulder, a bad influence that fuels his desire to mess around with his ability

ofc the regular as well, besties, enemies, fwb, exes etc.. i love brainstorming! we can merge plots together or create new ones im v open!
