#Ice Bag ibs

[wyrm-likes-objects]

Funny ice bag thing I thought of-

in a humanization of ice bag their shoulder, where their arm was ripped off, is still covered by duct tape. Who cares that it's a fucking awful medical material it's funny

[cozage]

May I please have some headcanons of Law with an s/o and Chopper with a friend/crewmate who, part of their devil fruit ability causes them to have increasingly worse fevers when the more they use it. Like how Magellan's Venom-Venom fruit causes him to have IBS because his body can't fully process the poison. I think devil fruit with specific drawbacks like are interesting.

Thank you for your time.

A/N: This is such a great concept and such a great idea you are a GENIUS

Fever Pains

Law

The first time he saw your face flushed red, he rushed over to you. It didn’t matter that you were in the middle of battle. When he grabbed your skin, it was warm, and he panicked. He used shambles to get you away from battle, and ran a full scan. 

It really beat him up when he thought he missed your symptoms earlier. He didn’t understand how your sickness had progressed so fast, and it scared him to see you so exhausted so suddenly. 

After you explained it to him, he calmed down a little bit. You had overworked yourself a lot in that particular battle, which had caused such a super high fever. 

Anytime that you overwork yourself like that now, he reprimands you. He scolds you and tells you not to work so hard and to find another way so you don’t kill yourself. But really he's beating himself up over not seeing that you were getting overheated and helping you before it got so bad

He has a bunch of ice packs he has ready for you during and after battle to keep your temperature down. He packs fluids for you to stay hydrated and brings fever reducer medicine. 

He hates when he has to leave you, and always has a little kit prepped for you to carry in your bag if you have to separate from him, with an emergency ice pack, electrolyte drink packet, and single use tylenol. 

Chopper

Chopper runs checkups on his crew all the time, and is super in tune with your all's well being. So when he sees you staggering on the battlefield, he’s a bit confused. And when he finds you post battle, he takes your temperature and freaks out. Screaming, running around, begging for a doctor to help you. 

He instantly covers you in cool cloths, starts an IV to get you fluids. You try to explain to him that it’s normal, but he doesn’t care. “You shouldn’t have to suffer just because of your ability,” he says to you. He’s upset that you didn’t tell him about it, but he’s not angry over it, just a little sad. 

He gives you boosters, watches your status, and runs tests to see what specific levels you start to spike in temperature and how it correlates with your ability. 

Like Law, he changes up his medkit, and now he always has ice packs (that he took from Sanji until they can restock at the next island), fever reducers, anything he can think of that might help you. 

He secretly gives everyone a little emergency pack for you in case you get overheated and he's not there, but whenever the group splits up, Chopper always tries to stay by your side. It’s his job as a doctor to make sure everyone on the crew is happy and healthy, and this is just another challenge he has to solve in his journey.

Re: lactose I’m at the age you lost lactose tolerance and it’s something I’m so determined to keep I’ve actually upped my dairy intake in the hopes that my body doesn’t forget through sheer power of will and sheer quantity of ingestion!!! I’m sorry for your plight I hope you’re still enjoying dairy with the aid of science

hello yes I do have a large stash of lactase pills that I keep on the counter and in all my bags so I can eat pizza sometimes, but it drives me crazy that I basically have to pay a dollar every time I want to eat lactose so I generally try to avoid it. my mom lost her lactose tolerance by dieting and not eating dairy so you're probably going in the right direction. I used to eat cereal every morning and sandwiches with cheese and ice cream all year round and cheesecake and garlic bread with cheese on top... and then the IBS hit. *sigh* did you know a pint of non-dairy ice cream is like $9 CAD??? yes, appreciate it while you've got it.

Makkari of Olympia is no more. 

Instead, daylight and blood warms her skin. The world is plunged into a sea of tan and blue around her. 

Here, she is Maira: priestess of Meroë, the eldest of Yahya's daughters. 

Her home is the sweltering deserts of Meroë, tucked east on the edge of the Nile, or known as Iteru — the grand river. It is in the middle of Lower and Upper Egypt, called Ta-Mehu and Ta-Shemau, respectively. All her life she has lived and breathed the sands, treeless and sun-baked among her pyramids, the crystallized fine-grains inked in a world of everlasting golden dunes and cloudless skies.

But her deserts are no place for those who haven't lived and conquered this weather all their life. Within the night, it brings a cloak of despair-black and scattered, hedj stars.

Meroë will always be her home, first and utmost, tucked away in her heart, her ib, nestled under her ribs. She will always remember it fondly, the memories she has gathered here in her lifetime, the happiest and the worst of times.

But home is never quite where the ib aches to be.

And her mind has been decided.

___

She feels footsteps. 

Makkari Maira recognizes the distinctive pace and relaxes at once, the vibrations making their way into her bones from the floor to her bare soles. She turns.

You're leaving us, aren't you? signs Eman.

There is no denying it. Eman can see it so clearly, Maira's Makkari's bag packed up, her several kalasiris folded, her coins on the table before her, ready to be counted, three years' worth if she's careful. A map to Babylon is displayed out, unscrolled and paperweighted. 

Her mind had already been made up days ago. Years, really. She doesn't want to be rooted to her deserts her whole lifetime. She wants to travel. She wants to see what the world had to offer.

— Yes, Maira Makkari replies. There's a lump in her throat. But she persists on, her hands steady. I have to. 

Eman smiles bittersweet.

Even as the youngest of Yahya's three daughters, only sixteen years, she is always the most perspective. Her round face is too sharp, her dark hair straight as a curtain behind her ears, eyes melted with warm honey like the rest of them. 

Makkari Maira has always looked too much like her mother, even if her father had never explicitly said; with her square face, bright eyes and constellation of freckles scattered across her nose and cheeks, her curls hung loose to her hips.

"It's all right, Maira. No one will fault you if you do not return to us." 

But then, Eman steps closer. She produces two rings, banded in gold — nebw — unfurling Maira's Makkari's fingers, the weight of them familiar in her open palm. "From the three of us. And Mother's. To remember us by."

I'm coming back, says Maira Makkari. It's a lie on her tongue, her fingertips and she knows it. She knows that once she stepped foot in Babylon, if it is as grandiose as her father's tales of regale, she will never want to leave. 

Eman laughs silently, a knowing shake of her head. Closes Maira's Makkari's fingers around the rings, withdrawing her own to sign, firm. "You have taken care of us for many years, never yourself and … you deserve a life, sister. It's alright if you want to leave. We understand. Father may not but … he'll understand eventually."

Then Eman's walking with her, arm in arm, a burning torch held in the other, their feet trailing over the deserts of Meroë, a vast valley, sand glittering, twinkling like the constellations of stars and ice (from the stories she's been told) under Iah's moon.

Makkari Maira throws her arms around her, careful to avoid the wind-swept torch, a felucca waiting by the port. She pulls back, cupping Eman's face in her hands, smoothing her hair back, memorizing her face, her chest tightening. With guilt or sadness, Maira Makkari doesn't know. There is a feeling that this may be the last time she'll ever see her.

Be good, Makkari Maira tells her sincerely. 

Eman chuckles. Another hug between them, the two rocking side to side, Eman keeping her torch at bay. Maira Makkari ruffles Eman's hair, knowing she would hate it, pulling back slightly.

She asks, Please visit?

I'll try. Keep your hands to yourself?

Maira Makkari laughs. I'll try.

Eman copies along with her, shoulders shaking silent. They both know the truth. Eman says, her hands trembling: "Write to us once you've safely reached Babylon? I want to know everything."

Maira Makkari promises her, lets go of her, their hands linked. Eman leads her onto the felucca, acacia wood creaking underneath their sandals, Maira's bag shouldered, young men already seated at their designated positions, long oars in their hands, ready to set sail.

Eman presses a kiss to her forehead, pulling her in for one more hug. Then her hands crossed over to the middle of her chest. Makkari Maira smiles, tears slipping gently down her cheeks, repeating the motion over her own. 

Then the felucca is setting sail, pushing off from the small port, Eman leaping off just in time. A kiss blown from her lips, a wave on her fingertips, her arm swinging high in the way, slowly becoming a speck in the distance. 

But Maira could see the last words on her fingertips: her pinky, then her index and thumb, then her thumb and pinky before settling into a combination of all three. 

I love you.

I love you. 

I love you.

Keep it (Kinda) Simple Garlic Pasta

Everyone knows the staple "college foods".

Basically anything and everything simple: pastas, ramen (or ramyeon depending on what brand you get), pizzas, ready-made meals, sandwiches, the works. If it can't be thrown in a microwave or easily made then its a no-go.

Jennifer Bui, College Food Pyramid

Well, unfortunately for me and those probably like me, that's not so simple. Due to some health problems, the foods I get have to either have to be insanely specific or have to be relatively fresh. So I can't rely so heavily on the keep it simple meals that so many college kids eat. So nothing that can just be tossed into the oven or put into a drawer that can last for a few months (with maybe the exception of pasta).

Last year, when I was diagnosed with IBS, I knew that my options were going to be more limited and more expensive. If I wanted to use butter in recipes, I was better off getting the avocado butter than the cheaper kind. Pasta (which I have yet to find a gluten-free alternative for that I actually like) had to be treated as something to make more on the weekend so I can deal with it at my dorm. Ice cream in general was a no go.

To put it simply, it sucked.

So I started trying making my own recipes using ones I already knew. If I wanted to make pasta with a type of meat sauce, it wasn't going to be simple; I was going to add garlic, onion, a bunch of spices, mushroom and spinach (for the fiber). Instead of using normal lettuce for sandwiches, I just used spinach. Burgers were to be kept more vegetarian if I could help it. Potatoes were made with avocado butter and a bunch of spices. You get the idea.

During this time, I was also teaching my roommate how to cook. I was showing her the basics, what spices go together and how to make sure she didn't accidently poison herself.

One day, she asked me what she could make out of pasta. I blinked at her as if she had grown a couple of extra heads and said, "Uhh... literally anything? You can toss it in sauce, butter, a sort of pesto, it doesn't matter."

Well she told me she didn't want any of that. We ate pasta with sauce a lot, we don't necessarily have pesto just lying around and butter was too boring.

I told her it didn't have to be so simple, the easiest thing to incorporate with other things would be the butter. So I told her to saute some onion and garlic in the pan with butter while cooking the pasta and then toss it all together with spices.

Needless to say she slow blinked at me and I had to walk her through how to make it.

Eventually, it was done cooking and she had the garlic butter pasta for the first time and... she really enjoyed it. She really liked the garlic and it wasn't boring like she was expecting it to be.

This recipe is essentially how I taught her to make it, only with more vegetables to give it some variety.

Recipe:

Ingredients

1 box of spaghetti

butter (I use avocado butter as an alternative, olive oil butter is also good)

3-5 cloves of garlic, minced (I added 6 but that's just because I love it)

1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 grated carrot (you can also use match sticks)

4 oz of white mushrooms

1 small bag of frozen broccoli

1 tablespoon of olive oil

salt

pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

basil

crushed red pepper

*NOTE: I did not include measurements to the seasoning nor did I do it to the butter because I feel its to ones preference how much they add in this dish. I added the seasoning pretty liberally but that's purely because I prefer to be slightly more heavy handed in seasoning because that's how I like it. You do not need to do this. Add however much of one thing or another as you like. My only precaution is to not completely coat everything in seasoning, since that will overwhelm the dish. Roughly 1 teaspoon of each seasoning with each new vegetable added may be more than enough for some of you.

Directions

Boil your water for your pasta and add a tablespoon of olive oil in the water to prevent the pasta from sticking and salt to the water before adding the pasta. Cook that per package instructions.

While waiting for the water to boil, prep your vegetables.

In a saute pan on medium heat, add butter then slowly add your vegetables, starting with your onion and garlic. Add a dash of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and basil to your pan and toss together.

*important note: if you feel you need to add more butter to this dish, feel free to do it. I added butter with the addition of every new vegetable added to the saute pan. I used roughly 6-7 spoonfuls of butter in this, but that's because I added roughly a spoonful for every addition to the pan and wanted to make sure it was buttery and delicious.

4.After 1 minute, add your carrot and mushroom to your saute pan and add another dash of the spices mentioned above.

5.Add your broccoli to your pan, adding one more dash of garlic powder and onion powder.

6. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain the pasta and slowly start adding it to the pan, making sure to coat the pasta with the butter and vegetables each time.

7. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of basil and red pepper flake. Serve immediately.

That's it! This dish is incredibly simple to make and tastes delicious. This can be served with chicken, beef, or just by itself for something simple and flavorful to eat. Plus, because this recipe could realistically feed four people, its perfect to save in the fridge for the few days and eat more later. And try adding your own favorite vegetables into it to see what combinations you like and let me know your favorites too!

Benefits of Drinking Black Tea Black tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world, with many people drinking it on a daily basis. It is known for its distinct flavor and aroma, as well as its many health benefits. Studies have shown that drinking black tea can help to reduce inflammation, improve digestive health, boost heart health, and even reduce the risk of some cancers. Anti-Inflammatory Properties Black tea is a great source of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is linked to many chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, so reducing inflammation can be beneficial for overall health. Additionally, black tea may be able to improve joint pain caused by arthritis or other conditions. Improves Digestive Health Black tea contains high levels of tannins which can help to improve digestion by reducing stomach acidity and improving gut bacteria. Tannins have also been shown to help protect against gastrointestinal infections and reduce symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Boosts Heart Health Studies have found that drinking black tea regularly can lower blood pressure and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, both of which are associated with better heart health. The antioxidants present in black tea also have been shown to reduce oxidative stress in the body which helps keep your arteries healthy and clear of plaque buildup. Reduces Risk of Cancer The antioxidants present in black tea may also be beneficial for reducing the risk of certain types of cancer such as breast cancer or colon cancer. Studies have found that drinking black tea regularly can decrease levels of certain hormones that are associated with an increased risk for these types of cancers. In conclusion, there are many benefits to drinking black tea on a regular basis including anti-inflammatory properties, improved digestive health, better heart health, and reduced risk of certain types of cancer. If you’re looking for an easy way to boost your overall health then consider adding black tea into your daily routine. Types of Black Tea Black tea is one of the most popular types of tea around the world. It has a bold and robust flavor, and is often served with milk or sugar. There are many different types of black tea, each with its own unique flavor and aroma. Here are some of the most popular kinds: Assam: This type of black tea is grown in India’s Assam region, and has a malty flavor. It’s often used in strong teas like masala chai or breakfast blends. Keemun: This Chinese black tea has a mild, fruity flavor with hints of honey and cocoa. It’s great for making iced teas or pairing with light snacks. Ceylon: This Sri Lankan tea has a bright, citrusy flavor and is often used for brewing pot-style teas. It can also be enjoyed straight or used to make flavored teas. Darjeeling: Grown in India’s Darjeeling region, this type of black tea has a light, floral flavor with hints of muscatel grapes and honey. It can be enjoyed straight or blended with other teas for a unique taste experience. Lapsang Souchong: This Chinese black tea has a smoky flavor that comes from drying it over burning pine wood fires.

It pairs well with savory dishes or smoked meats, and is great for adding unique depth to your favorite recipes. Adding Milk and Sugar to Black Tea Whether to add milk or sugar to black tea is a matter of personal preference. Some people enjoy the taste of the tea without any additions, while others believe that adding milk and sugar enhances the flavor. The decision of whether or not to add milk or sugar depends on the individual’s taste buds and what they find most enjoyable. When adding milk to black tea, it is important to remember that the strength of the tea will be reduced. This is because the milk will dilute some of the flavor, making it less strong. If you do choose to add milk, opt for skimmed or semi-skimmed varieties as these are lower in fat content than full-fat varieties. It is also important to note that by adding milk, you are changing the flavor profile so it may not be as “true” as it would be without any additions. Sugar should generally be added in moderation when preparing black tea, as too much will overpower its natural flavor. A teaspoon of sugar can help bring out subtle nuances in certain types of teas, but it should still be used sparingly so as not to overpower the taste. If you are looking for a natural sweetener alternative, honey is a good option as it has a mild flavor that won’t overpower the tea's taste. Ultimately, adding milk and sugar to black tea is up to personal preference. Some people prefer their teas straight up while others enjoy their teas with a little something extra added in for flavor. Experimenting with different combinations can help find out what works best for you and your taste buds. Different Flavors of Black Tea Black tea is one of the most popular types of tea that is widely consumed around the world. While it is often enjoyed on its own, there are also a variety of flavors available to make it even more enjoyable. These flavors range from traditional to exotic, and can be found in both loose leaf and bagged teas. Here are some of the most popular flavors of black tea: Earl Grey – A classic black tea blended with bergamot oil, this flavor has been around for centuries and is still a favorite today. It has a distinctive citrus flavor that pairs nicely with sweet or savory foods. English Breakfast – A blend of black teas, English Breakfast has a full-bodied flavor that can be enjoyed any time of day. It's often served with milk and sugar for an extra boost in the morning or after dinner. Chai – Chai tea is made from black tea that has been blended with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg. The combination adds a unique flavor and aroma to the tea that makes it perfect for sipping on a cold winter day. Jasmine – Jasmine tea has been scented with jasmine blossoms during the drying process to give it a delicate floral aroma and flavor. It's light and refreshing, making it ideal for afternoon teatime or an evening dessert treat. Darjeeling – Darjeeling tea comes from India where it is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas at high altitudes. It has an astringent flavor with hints of muscatel grapes and honey that make it unique among other varieties of black teas. Lapsang Souchong – Lapsang Souchong comes from China and is one of the oldest varieties of black tea still produced today. It has an intense smoky flavor due to being smoked over pinewood fires before being dried and processed into leaves. Health Benefits of Drinking Black Tea Black tea has long been a part of cultures around the world, from the English tea tradition to Indian chai. Along with its delightful taste, black tea has many health benefits that are being studied more and more. Drinking black tea regularly can help improve heart health, reduce stress levels, boost the immune system, and even help with weight loss. One of the most well-known benefits of drinking black tea is its ability to improve heart health. Studies have shown that drinking black tea can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of stroke or cardiovascular disease.

The antioxidants present in black tea can also help prevent damage to cells caused by free radicals. Drinking black tea also has a positive effect on stress levels. Studies have found that people who drank four cups of black tea per day had a significant reduction in cortisol levels, which is a hormone associated with stress. This suggests that drinking black tea may help relieve stress and anxiety levels. The antioxidants in black tea are also beneficial for boosting immune system function. These antioxidants can help fight off harmful bacteria and viruses, making it easier for your body to fight off illness and infection. Furthermore, the catechins found in black tea have been linked to improved digestive health, which can further aid your body’s ability to ward off illness.

Difference Between Organic Assam Tea and Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend

Both organic Hannah’s Special Tea Blend and organic Assam Tea are from the Camellia sinensis plant. Both are black teas, but they come from different regions of India and have different flavor profiles and health benefits.

Organic Hannah’s Special Tea Blend is made in a small family-owned tea garden in the Nilgiri hills of the Western Ghats region of South India. It is made with an Assam tea base (Assam being a known tea-growing region in India), but it has been blended with other teas to create a unique flavor profile that has been described as “spicy” and “minty” by some reviewers. This blend is naturally caffeine free, making it ideal for those looking for an alternative to coffee or energy drinks without sacrificing flavor or taste. Tea ball infuser allows plenty of room for the tea to expand In this article, we discuss these two types of tea and their benefits for our health.

Organic Assam Tea

Organic Assam Tea is a type of tea that is grown in the Assam region of India. This tea has a dark brown color and a rich flavor. It is known for its deep, malty taste that lingers on the tongue after drinking. It is also known for its health benefits, which include weight loss and improved digestion. The leaves used to make this tea have a high amount of antioxidants, which is what makes this beverage so good for you.

The leaves used to make Organic Assam Tea are grown in natural forests without using any pesticides or herbicides. This means that they are not exposed to harmful chemicals while they are growing. The leaves are then dried out so they can be processed into tea bags or loose-leaf blends.

Benefits of Organic Assam Tea

Organic Assam tea offers many health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, which help prevent disease and slow the aging process by fighting free radicals that cause damage to your body. Antioxidants can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related disorders by preventing plaque build-up on artery walls.

Organic Assam tea also contains polyphenols, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that may help relieve arthritis symptoms caused by inflammation in joints such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA). Research suggests that these compounds may also be beneficial for people with chronic inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis as well as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend

Hannah's Special Tea Blend is made from the highest quality organic leaves from around the world. The leaves are harvested at the peak of their freshness, then carefully processed and blended to create an exceptional taste experience.

Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend is a blend of black, green, and white tea from the Assam region of India. Combining these teas creates a unique flavor profile that is both smooth and refreshing. This tea is great for any time of day and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend is a caffeine-free blend of black tea, ginger root, hibiscus flowers, and orange peel. This delicious herbal blend makes a great iced tea or hot tea. Hannah's Special Tea Blend is an excellent source of antioxidants and dietary fiber.

Our loose-leaf teas are packaged in resealable foil bags that prevent moisture from entering the bag. You can easily open the pouch by tearing along one side or cutting it open with scissors; then spoon out as much or as little as you want! We recommend using 1 tablespoon per 8 oz cup of water for most loose-leaf teas.

Benefits Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend

Helps to reduce stress and anxiety

Helps to promote a more restful sleep

Helps to purify the blood and detoxify the body

Promotes healthy liver function

Supports healthy digestion, intestinal health, and cardiovascular health

Bottom Line

For health-conscious individuals, knowing the difference between these two similar beverages is important. A number of people often get confused between Assam tea and Hannah's Special Tea Blend. Very different, with the Assam tea being a more traditional brew and the Hannah's Special Tea Blend being a fruitier tea that has a bit of a kick. The Assam is definitely something that I would prefer in the morning, while the other would be great after dinner. Your choice really comes down to what you're looking for in a cup of tea and your personal preferences. Hannah's special tea blend has a strong cinnamon taste and is quite bold. You can add maca powder to tea to enhance the taste of tea. The difference between the two is that they are made differently and are prepared differently, though they can be the same. The biggest difference is the richness of Organic Hannah's Special Tea Blend, which comes from its coloration.

[wyrm-likes-objects]

oc posting time. i came up with all of these literally today-

Ice Bag (they/them): A plastic bag of ice of somewhat short height. The top half of the bag is tied up in a sort of pony tail. ice water pools in the bottom of the bag. their left arm is torn off, and where it should be there is a patch of duct tape to patch the hole. after waking up one day missing an arm and with no memory as to how they got there. this is especially strange as they are a plastic bag in a magic world with a notable lack of plastic or anything resembling the 21st century we’re all familiar with. Now, with several other objects alongside them, they must figure out what happened to them, and where they even came from. 

WyrmScale (he/him): A dull, red, scale, just like that of a Greater Wyrm. The scale is very very tough, and while still marked with several scratches, actually destroying the scale would be very difficult.  It’s one word, not two. The Scale part is capitalized though, make sure you get it right. Otherwise you might meet the sharp end of WyrmScale’s sword. WyrmScale is a high ranking adventurer, known for several great feats of killing monsters. While his skill with a sword is undeniable, being nearly indestructible makes an easy confidence boost, although maybe a bit too much, as WyrmScale will gladly rush into even the most dire of fights. he does technically have magical ability, however he uses all of it to boost his combat strength. 

Tome (she/they): A mystical tome of the dark arts. The cover is a light purple, with strange, hypnotic patterns that seem to move if you look at them too long. contained inside are many dark and evil spells that are not for the faint of heart. Tome would rather be ruling the world as an Evil Empress right now. And they totally would be, if they could actually read the spells inside of herself! since her eyes are on her front cover, she can’t actually read the spells written on her pages, but they hope to someday find a way, since nobody really wants to take a look for her. Despite not knowing the spells inside of her, they are quite brushed up on other magic for the day when they do actually learn their own contents, and they are the group’s spellcaster. 

Broom (he/they): A simple wooden broom, with a sweeper at the top end.  Broom isn’t a particularly skilled fighter, nor are they exceedingly great at magic, but at least they’re fast! Broom has a natural ability to fly, a gift going back generations in their family. Broom really would rather avoid all fighting, but considering that nobody can catch them, he makes a quite good scout, which is their purpose in the group. 

Potion (she/her): A round flask with a stopper at the top. contained inside is a green fluid. drinking this fluid would give the user the ability to jump quite high, although Potion has never let anyone do this. I wonder what it tastes like...? A disgraced alchemy student, Potion has set out on a journey to prove themselves to the academy. While her own contents are strictly forbidden for anyone to touch, the other potions she can make are all vastly helpful to the group. She is additionally skilled other buffing spells, so while she doesn’t fight directly, her trinkets and spells make the group significantly stronger. she also contributes many of the plans for the group, because running headlong in to danger will get anyone but WyrmScale killed quite quickly

wow this was a lot uh. yeah :thumbsup:

Such A Gentleman

Pairing: Peter Parker X Reader

Synopsis: MJ sends you an embarrassing text while you’re on a date with Peter. Then there’s a plot twist that I hope you laugh at

Masterlist

“Excuse me, miss. Your back packs open.”

“Oh, thanks. Oh, it’s you.” You chuckled when you realized it was Peter who was zipping up your backpack.

“Sorry. I didn’t want to startle you.” He smiled as he fixed the crooked zipper.

“You didn’t realize it was me, did you?” You tested him as you looked over your shoulder.

“No.” He admitted. “A lot of girls at this college have the same back of head as you do.”

“That sentence didn’t make a lot of sense.” You scrunched your nose at him.

“You know what I mean.” He laughed as you turned around. “Here. I brought you coffee.”

“Oh, thank you.” You were pleasantly surprised as he handed you an ice coffee. “This definitely makes up for you not being able to recognize me by the back of my head.”

“I’m sorry.” He groaned. “I’ll know better next time.”

“Oh, there won’t be a next time.” You told him. “I thought we had something special, Peter. But I guess you don’t really know me at all.”

“I’m sorry.” He laughed. “I should’ve known. The back of your head is very pretty.”

“Yeah?” You smirked. “The front of yours isn’t so bad either.”

Before Peter could respond to you, MJ showed up and slung her arm around you.

“What’s up, nerds?” She greeted. “Parker, how’s the rash?”

“It’s good. How’s the IBS?” He shot back.

“Fantastic.” She deadpanned.

“Can you guys please get along?” You rolled your eyes. “Just for one day?”

“I’m not surprised you’d want us to get along.” MJ shrugged. “Since I’m your best friend and he’s your-“

“Other best friend.” You cut him off and gave her a stern look. Peter smiled awkwardly and looked down, slightly disappointed now that he was reminded he was still in the friend zone.

“Right.” MJ said sarcastically. “Well, Y/n and I have class. Which I’m sure you knew and already made plans to wait up for her afterwards.”

“Yes I did.” Peter narrowed his eyes at her. “Some of us like to be gentlemen.”

“And some of us gag when they think of you. Unlike Y/n, who gags when she’s with you.” MJ smiled proudly as she patted your shoulders.

“Oh my God. Behave.” You laughed I’m embarrassment at her dirty joke, something she did a lot of around you and Peter. Peter flushed when he realized what she meant and gave you a shy smile.

“I’ll see you later?” He asked.

“Bye, Pete.” You waved. “Thanks again for the coffee.”

“Bye, Pete.” MJ mimicked your voice once you walked away from Peter. “He brought you coffee today?”

“Maybe.” You said as you sipped your drink. “And he zipped up my bag when he didn’t even realize it was me. He’s such a gentleman.”

“Oh my God.” She groaned. “You guys will do everything but date each other, I swear. How long have you been talking?”

“A few weeks.” You downplayed it, but you knew the exact amount of time since you and Peter started talking.

“Weeks? Come on.” She shook your shoulders. “When are you gonna make a move already?”

“Why would I do that?”

“Because you like him. And he likes you.” She said like it was obvious. “That’s kinda how this works.”

“If he likes me, he can make the first move.” You shrugged.

“Why wait? Just ask him out.” MJ said as you walked to your seats in class.

“I can’t do that.” You whispered as you sat down.

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” You sighed. “I just can’t.”

“Oh, I see.” MJ raised an eyebrow. “It’s because you haven’t been reading the post modern feminism books I gave you. You still think the guy has to make the first move.”

“First of all, I started to read them.” You corrected her. “You just gave me too many.”

“44 is not too many.” She stated.

“Second, yeah. I do want him to make the first move.” You shrugged. “I want him to prove that he likes me and take some initiative. What’s wrong with that?”

“What’s wrong is you could end up waiting forever.” She answered. “You may think his awkwardness is cute, but I just see it as him being super inexperienced. Peter might be thinking you only flirt with him for fun.”

“I don’t. I really like him.” You admitted.

“I know that.” MJ reminded you. “But you can’t assume he knows that. You gotta ask him out.”

“You know what? You’re right.” You decided. “I’m done waiting. I just need to swallow my pr-“

“Swallow?!” She cut in.

“Stop it.” You playfully smacked her arm. “Swallow my pride and ask him out. Who says guys have to make the first move?”

“Definitely not me.” MJ said.

“I know.”

“Because I’m gay.” She continued.

“I know, MJ.”

“So there is no guy-“

“I got it.” You cut her off. She shot you a wink before turning her attention to the professor. You tried to put attention in class, but all you could think about was whether or not MJ was right. Maybe Peter didn’t know you liked him, and that’s why he never officially asked you out.

After class, Peter was waiting outside the door like he said he’d be. You smiled at the sight of him, but MJ had a different reaction.

“Oh, look who’s here.” She said sarcastically. “It’s Peter. What a shock.”

You both ignored her comment as you walked over to Peter with something behind your back.

“I have something for you.” You said coyly before you held a crumpled up wad of paper out for him.

“Taylor Swift?” He asked as he took the wad.

“No. It’s a crumpled up piece of paper- oh! I see what you did there.” You realized his reference and let out a laugh.

“What did I do to deserve such a meaningful gift?” He played along.

“Well I spelled “Wednesday” wrong when I was taking notes, so I ripped that page out and crumpled it up.” You shrugged like it was no big deal. “And I thought you might like it.”

“You treat me so well.” He laughed.

“Uh huh.” You nodded and closed his hand around the wad. “Now it’s yours. Because you earned it, and because I don’t feel like throwing it out.”

“Oh, yeah? Watch this.” He said before tossing the ball over his shoulder. It went into the garbage can without him having to look.

“Woah.” Your eyes widened. “How’d you do that?”

“Good reflexes.” He shrugged. “I hope you know that if it hadn’t gone in, I would’ve run away and transferred schools.”

“Well I would be very upset if that happened. I’d miss you too much.” You flirted. You heard MJ gag in the distance, reminding you of the conversation you had with her earlier.

“Hey, what are you doing later?” You asked suddenly.

“My chem class ends at 2 and that’s it. Why?”

“Do you want to come to my dorm and hang out?” You asked before you lost your nerve.

“Oh. Yeah. Okay.” Peter smiled in surprise. “I’d love to. West Village, right? The one with the white board on the door?”

“It’s a girls dorm, Peter. They all have a white board on the door.” You chuckled. “It’s room 102.”

“Okay.” His smile grew. “I’ll see you then.”

“Great. Bring that ass.” You said as you punched his shoulder. He gave you a confused look and you immediately regretted it.

“I’m so sorry.” You grimaced. “I don’t know why I just said that.”

“It’s okay.” He chuckled.

“No, it’s not.” You shook your head. “You don’t have to bring it if you don’t want.”

“I kinda have to.” He reminded you. “It’s attached.”

“Right. Sorry. Oh God. I’m leaving.” You quickly ran away before you could embarrass yourself any further. MJ followed after you, laughed as she went.

“See you later!” Peter called after you. When you were out of sight, he did a little happy dance to celebrate being invited over before skipping to his next class.

“Oh my God.” You groaned when MJ caught up to you. “That was so embarrassing. Why am I so awkward around him? I always forget how to speak.”

“You’re fine.” MJ insisted. “Everyone gets weird around their crush. Speaking of crush, did you do it?”

“I did it.” You got excited again. “I asked Peter to come-“

“You asked Peter to come?” She interrupted.

“Can I finish my sentence? Can I finish one God damn sentence?” You asked her.

“Sorry. Go ahead.” She held up her hands.

“I asked Peter to come over after class.” You told her. “Which means you have to occupy yourself for a couple hours while he’s in our room.”

“What? You mean we’re not gonna lay on our beds in silence and text each other tik toks?” She joked.

“You won’t be doing that. I’ll still be laying on my bed. This time, with Peter.�� You beamed.

“Oh.” She raised her eyebrows. “So you guys are finally gonna hook up?”

“Who said anything about hooking up?” You furrowed your eyebrows. “We’re just gonna hang out.”

“Dude, you invited the boy you always flirt with to your dorm. Alone.” She emphasized. “He definitely thinks you guys are gonna hook up.”

“Peter would never assume that.” You shook your head. “He’s a gentleman.”

“Yeah. Emphasis on the man.” She snorted. “He’s still a guy and you guys have been talking for weeks. He thinks you invited him over for sex. Trust me.”

“I didn’t.” You began to panic. “I just wanted to hang out with him alone. I like him but I’m not ready to hook up with him.”

“He doesn’t know that. What do you think he thinks you’re gonna do together? Sit in silence and show each other tik toks?”

“Pssh. No.” You waved your hand. “I’m way cooler than that.”

“Look at this tik tok.” You laughed as you showed Peter your phone. It was later now, and he was hanging out in your dorm like you planned. The two of you had been sitting on your bed, making small talk and watching tik toks for the past hour. You started off sitting next to each other, but had gradually moved to lying on your backs with Peters arm around you.

“Oh my God.” Peter chuckled at the video. “What is that guy doing? And why are his hands so big?”

“Are they?” You asked. “Hold your hand up.”

Peter held up his hand and you silently pressed your palm against his. His face flushed at the unexpected contact and a shy smile came on his face.

“Wow.” He said as he laced his fingers through yours. “Your hand fits in mine like it’s made just for me.”

“Aw.” You smiled at his words. “Wait, isn’t that a one direction lyric?”

“You caught me.” He chuckled shyly. “It’s my favorite song. I’ve been listing to it a lot lately.”

“You’re not slick, Parker.” You teased. “Wait, I have a funny one direction tik tok to show you.”

Peter rested his chin on your shoulder as you pulled up the video on your phone. Before it ended, a text from MJ appeared at the top of your screen.

“Did you fuck yet?” The text said.

“Oh my God.” You stammered as you dropped your phone into your lap. You quickly picked it up and turned your back to Peter so he couldn’t see your phone.

“What did that say?” He gulped.

“What did what say?” You played dumb.

“The text you just got.” He said. “From MJ.”

“Not sure what you’re talking about.” You laughed awkwardly.

“The text you just received from our classmate, MJ.” He repeated. “Just now.”

“Oh, that? She was just asking me for the economics homework.” You lied.

“I did not see the word “economics” anywhere in that text. And you’re not even in economics.” He reminded you.

“You’re right. I’m not. So I have to tell her I don’t have the homework.” You gave him a fake smile before going to your texts.

“YOU FUCKIKG BICHT HOW COUDK YOU FUCKIGN GEXF ME THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF ME HANGIFJ IUT WITH PETER GE FUCKUNG SAW IT.” You angrily typed out to MJ.

“*fucking” She sent back.

“HSHEHHEHE AHUR THE DUCK UP” You smashed into your keyboard.

“If he saw it, he knows what to do now. You’re welcome :)” She replied.

“Oh my God.” You let out a frustrated groan as you continued to send her angry texts.

“Is something wrong?” Peter asked.

“No. She just really needs the homework and doesn’t understand that I don’t have it.” You said though clenched teeth.

“Y/n, it’s okay.” Peter put his hand on your shoulder.

“Let me just tell her-“

“Really, it’s okay.” He said again, making you pause. “You don’t have to explain anything to me. I wasn’t expecting anything like that.”

“I…what?” You looked up at him.

“I saw the text.” He admitted. “I know what it said.”

“I’m so sorry.” You sighed. “I don’t know why she said that. I never told her that’s what was gonna happen. I literally told her that wasn’t gonna happen. I don’t know why she-“

“Y/n, calm down.” Peter chuckled and cupped your face with his hands. “You don’t have to worry. I didn’t come here thinking we were gonna have sex.”

“You didn’t?” You asked hopefully.

“No. I just wanted to hang out with you.” Peter said. You sighed in relief, glad that he was the kind of guy you thought he was.

“Oh.” You smiled. “That’s what I wanted too.”

“So we’re on the same page?” He asked as he laid back down on your bed. Your eyes darted back down to your conversation with MJ and you frowned.

“Yeah.” You said weakly.

“You don’t seem sure about that.”

“Um…” You chewed your bottom lip and tried to make a decision. You had made the move to invite Peter over, but you still hadn’t told him you liked him. You were being presented with an opportunity to tell him how you felt, but you were nervous to take it.

“Yeah.” You shook your head. “I’m sure.”

“Is something on your mind?” Peter asked as you laid back down against his side. You really wanted to tell him you liked him, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.

“No.” You lied. “Nothing.”

“Okay.” Peter nodded, not fully believing you. He stayed for a few more hours and you eventually put your phones away and got to know each other. You had multiple instances where you almost told him how you felt, but always chickened out.

“Not that I want you to leave, but I know the avengers tower is kinda far from here. I don’t want you driving in the dark.” You said once you noticed the sun had begun to set.

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Peter remarked as he stood up.

“Let me walk you to the lobby.” You offered. You both walked slowly to the lobby of your dorm, trying to prolong your time together.

“It’s nice that Tony Stark let’s you live in the tower. Even though you’re just an intern.” You said once you reached the lobby, saying anything you could think of to make him stay longer.

“Yeah.” His eyes darted to the side. “Intern.”

“Maybe we can hang out there next time.” You suggested.

“As long as there is a next time, I don’t mind where it is.” Peter smiled softly at you.

“Me either.” You smiled back. Peter opened his mouth to say something, but shut it. Instead of speaking, he stepped forward and pulled you into a hug.

“Drive safe.” You said as you rubbed his back. “Text me when you’re home.”

“I will.” He said as he pulled away. “But I’ll wait a couple minutes so you can finish telling MJ everything.”

“Shut up.” You laughed. “Good night.”

“Good night, Y/n.” Peter squeezed your arm before walking away. You watched as he walked to his car, beating yourself up over the fact that you never told him how you felt. He started up his car but sat there for a minute, and you took that as your opportunity to be brave. You ran outside and got in his passenger seat, ready to tell him the truth.

“Peter, we need to talk.” You stated.

“AHHHH!” He screamed in surprise.

“Calm down.” You touched his arm. “It’s just me.”

“You need to get out of my car.” Peter said seriously.

“I just want-“

“No you seriously need to get out of my car right now.” Peter repeated. “I’m not kidding.”

“But I need to tell you- oh my God.” You stopped yourself when you smelt something funny.

“Oh my God.” Peter groaned and covered his face with his hands.

“Did you fart?” You tried to hold back your laughter. “Like, for an hour?”

“I’m gonna kill myself.” Peter nodded. “I’m not kidding. I’m ending my life.”

“What the hell happened in here?” You burst out laughing. “What did you do?”

“I always wait to fart until I’m in my car, okay?” Peter whined. “I was holding it in all day and I let it out when I got in my car.”

“Why?” You asked between giggles as you plugged your nose with your hand.

“So I don’t fart in front of you. I’m trying to be a gentleman here.” He said as gestured between the two of you.

“There is nothing gentle about this situation.” You said lowly.

“Oh my God.” Peter whined and hit his head against the steering wheel. “This is my nightmare.”

“How long were you holding that in? Oh my God. I need to open a window.” You cracked the window open and stuck your head out for fresh air.

“It wasn’t just one.” He said quietly.

“So you’ve been storing them?” You laughed. “Like a squirrel storing nuts in its cheeks?”

“Yes. I get gassy when I’m nervous. So I just wait until I’m not in public anymore and let them all out. I do this everyday after class.” He told you, starting to laugh as well.

“So you really just hotbox your car with farts everyday? And drive home like that?” You looked at him in disbelief.

“It’s a safe space.” He said sheepishly, making you laugh harder.

“I’m speechless.” You wheezed. “I had a whole speech for you and it’s gone. Totally gone.”

“So what did you want to talk ab-“

“Don’t try to start a normal conversation when we’re sitting in your fart.” You cut him off as you wiped tears from your eyes.

“Sorry.” He mumbled.

“Please, just drive.” You pointed ahead. “Drive until I can breathe again.”

Peter put his car into drive and drove away from your dorm. You kept your head out his window, sneaking glances at him and giggling every now and then. Finally, he pulled into the back of the library parking lot and parked his car.

“It’s peaceful over here.” He said after a minute. “It’s like the one place in the city you can’t hear the cars.”

“Do you come here a lot?” You asked him.

“Yeah.” He admitted. “When I need some place to think.”

“Or to fart?” You asked through an apologetic smile.

“Please.” He banged his head on the steering wheel again. “Don’t bring it up again.”

“I’m sorry.” You I giggled. “I just think it’s really funny.”

“Whats funny? That I’m the biggest loser in the world?” He groaned.

“No.” You shook your head. “That you’re human. And you go out of your way to be a gentleman. It’s sweet.”

“You don’t have to do that.” He said as he looked out his window.

“Do what?”

“Act like I can come back from this.” He said quietly.

“Peter, there are worse things you could’ve done.” You assured him. “You didn’t even do anything wrong.”

Peter stayed quiet, clearly still embarrassed from what had happened. You found the situation to be hilarious, but you were realizing he didn’t see it that way.

“You know, I’m actually glad this happened.” You said after a minute.

“Why?” He asked skeptically.

“Because I have never felt this calm around you. I’m always so nervous to see you because I care so much about what you think of me.” You confessed. “But now that the incident happened, the pressure is gone. I’m not nervous anymore.”

“You’re not?” He began to lighten up.

“Nope.” You shrugged. “Because no matter what I say or do, I can’t possibly embarrass myself more than you did.”

“Oh my God.” He groaned as you let out another laugh.

“I don’t know why you’re so upset.” You rolled your eyes playfully. “I see this as an absolute win.”

“How is this a win?” He asked you.

“Because I feel like I can really be myself right now.” You shrugged. “I feel like I can tell you anything.”

“So tell me what you were gonna tell me before.” He said softly. You looked at him for a minute as you built up your courage before telling him the truth.

“I really like you.” You admitted. “As more than a friend.”

“Still?” He asked hopefully.

“Still.” You nodded.

“I like you too.” He smiled brightly as he unbuckled his seatbelt. Peter leaned across the joystick of the car and kissed you, leaving light fingertips on your cheek to keep you in place. You leaned as far over as you could, kissing him for the first time after weeks of pining. When you pulled away from him, you couldn’t contain your smile as you sat back in his passenger.

“As happy I am that that finally happened.” Peter began. “Do you mind if we keep this story to ourselves?”

“You mean the story of how you farted in your car-“

“Yeah. Yeah.” He gave you a pained smile. “That one.”

“Sure.” You grinned. “It’ll be our little secret.”

You walked onto campus the next day, holding Peters hand and sipping the ice coffee he had brought you that morning. You went to your usual spot outside your first class, where MJ was waiting. She saw your interlocked hands and smiled proudly.

“There’s the happy couple.” MJ nodded in approval. “I know you’re mad at my for sending that text, but clearly it did some good.”

“I would say so.” Peter agreed as he squeezed your hand.

“So what’s the story?” MJ asked. “What happened last night that made you guys go from friends to this?”

“Um..” Peter looked at you in a panic and you let out a laugh.

“We prefer to keep the details to ourselves.” You answered. “It’s more special that way. But it was very unique and sweet. That’s all you need to know.”

“Right.” MJ grew skeptical with your answer. “Unique and sweet. That doesn’t sound suspicious at all.”

“It was.” You insisted. “It was the perfect way to start our relationship. But that’s all I’ll say. I don’t want to gas it up too much.”

“Jesus Christ.” Peter hung his head and sighed and you cracked up at your own joke.

A MASTERLIST OF “OBSCURE” AND “UGLY” TRAITS AND OTHER THINGS. (1/?)

Anyone who knows me knows I love a downright gross character with sincere but obscure attributes. I recently made a PSA, located here, about how we should make traits like this more popular in the RPC. An anon suggested that I put together a list of traits and other things to work into a character’s personality in this sense! You can find that list under the cut. Enjoy!

Give your character bloody, scratched up knees.

Horrible fashion sense.

Bald spots.

Skin picking.

A habit of burping.

Make them overcompensate, make them desperate to save face.

Make them overly talkative. Obnoxious, annoying.

Awkwardness. Allow your characters to be awkward as fuck. Awkwardness isn’t always quirky. For me, it’s sweaty armpits and a bright red face.

Hey, there’s one. Sweat. Sweaty armpits. Sweaty tits. Sweaty hairlines.

Do research on health problems and concerns. Portray them in an understandable and careful way. A character can have Trichotillomania aka excessive hair-pulling. Give them diabetes, heart problems, OCD, Epilepsy, Arthritis, joint pain, back pain. The list is endless. Pull from personal experience too, that always helps me.

FARTS.

Write more about your character’s period. Sometimes it’s downright gross. Describe that.

Give them bad or crooked teeth. Missing teeth too.

Thin or thinning hair.

Throw in some facial hair too. Chin hairs, especially. I have so many.

Maybe your character a nail biter. 

Give them a messy home or a messy purse. 

Make them unconventional. 

Big noses. We love big noses.

Make them ugly but honest.

Make them unsatisfied for reasons they don’t understand. Let draw from this dissatisfaction and grow irritated by everyday life.

Obscure interests. Clowns, bruises, dirt, ghosts, trashcans, tearing out book pages, taping receipts to the wall, strange little tattoos, sex, demons, scissors. Whatever you can think of. 

Make your characters cut their hair on impulse. Get ugly, horrible haircuts. They can cut their bangs at 3am and regret it when they wake up.

Sleeping until the afternoon. 

Broken bones. 

Maybe they’re obsessed with the internet and social media.

Let them have lots of dirty laundry.

Hair chewing.

Necklace chewing.

Junk food lover.

The person who forgets to wear deodorant. 

The person who forgets to wear deodorant but always has a little travel one inside their bag. Thank God.

Rotting milk in the back of the fridge.

Doesn’t text back. Never answers emails. 

Make them fickle. Make them change their mind often. 

Give them a crooked spine.

Smelly feet.

Sore feet.

Bad at exercise.

Slowest runner on the planet.

Old pillowcases. They forget to wash them. But when they do, it’s awesome.

Excess cleaner. Everything needs to be clean or the world explodes.

Rashes.

Eye boogers. We all wake up with them.

Bad breath. Nobody wakes up with minty breath, dude.

Bad at makeup. Always has mascara and lipstick all over the place. One time, a foundation bottle exploded. 

Make them want to be liked. Adored.

Make them ignore people.

Ripped tights.

Chipped nail polish. 

Blotchy tans.

Uneven skin tone.

Ache. Pimples. Zits. Puss. WE ALL HAVE THEM.

Back acne....come on, give your character back acne.

Textured skin.

Poor communication skills.

Slow reader.

Not good at math.

Hell, not good at school subjects at all. 

Poop. LET YOUR CHARACTERS POOP, DAMN IT.

IBS.

Yeast infections.

Hairy balls.

Hairy legs. Hairy boobs. Hairy everything. 

Chronic kick the ice under the fridge person. 

Shopaholic. But, for like, stupid shit. Trinkets, books they’ll never read, journals they’ll never write in, stickers, ribbons, shark teeth, rocks, marbles, fancy napkins, plates, figurines, lotion, hats, Christmas decorations, and more. 

Did I mention trashcans?

Starts writing in journals but then gets annoyed and never writes in it ever again. Now they have tons. Too many. They’re all filled with one to three pages max.

Make your characters a try hard. Desperados. 

Make them get fired. Lose their jobs. Make them bad at their job.

Steal from the job.

Make them storm chasers.

Or a cashier at the dollar store.

Can’t swim.

Their whole life is a junk drawer.

Just give them a junk drawer. There are so many batteries in there.

MASTURBATE. LET YOUR CHARACTERS JERK OFF.

Do they masturbate a lot? How? Do they just do it to go to sleep? Make them masturbate just to go to sleep.

Ugly cry.

Ugly orgasm.

Scars.

Birthmarks. 

Discharge. 

Uneven tits.

Uneven balls.

Little dick, big dick, small dick. Sing it with me.

One day I’ll build that Ikea table. Not.

Dirty dishes. I’m not doing them.

Your character doesn’t do the dishes? Make them have a habit of chucking them in the garbage and buying new ones.

LAZY. LAZY. LAZY. SO FUCKING LAZY.

Has cereal with every meal. 

Drinks right from the bottle.

Collects mugs.

Collects rubber bands. 

Cries at everything. At every movie, every commercial.

Receding hairline. Sorry, buddy.

Silver hair.

Dry skin.

Dandruff.

Greasy hair. I didn’t have time to shower.

Mismatched socks. 

Ripped underwear.

RIPPED PANTS. OH NO.

Worst driver ever.

Secretly, I’m an asshole. But only in secret.

Accidentally burnt the apartment down. Nothing tragic. Nobody died. I left a pizza in the oven.

Let random shit happen. Not everything is a tragedy. Accidents. Oops.

Give your characters studio apartments. Small homes. Old homes. Little, tiny spaces. 

Give your characters regular, working class jobs. Receptionist, garbage person, cashier, deli manager, dishwasher, food staff, telemarketer. Once again, the list is endless. 

Break some hearts. Your character can cause the suffering. 

Dysfunctional siblings. 

Fried, dry ass hair. 

Make them make terrible art. 

Make them not very talented. You don’t have to be good at everything to be happy.

Involved in a crime. Missing person, theft. You name it.

Make them a bad criminal. Maybe they suck at it. 

Worst. Assassin. Ever.

NOT EVERYONE IS AN EXPERT. 

Maybe they smoke too much weed.

Smelly socks. 

Maybe they smell too good....so good that it’s disgusting. Potent.

Just before the lunch hour this morning, a meal delivery service arrived at Khaeris’ vardo in the Bazarr of Silvermon City. Although she hadn’t ordered anything, the Goblin seemed in a hurry to deliver the meal “before it melted.”

Inside the paper bag was a boxed galaxy cake, topped with multicolored macaroons and sprinkles of all shapes and sizes. An extra large plastic container held a dripping triple mound of purple “ube” ice cream atop a brownie. At the bottom of the bag was also a small, deep orange box. Inside, resting on bright canary yellow tissue paper, was a pair of extra large hoop earrings in multicolored, hand-rolled clay beads.

There was a note attached:

“Pizza’s on the way, but I ken you well. Dessert first, aye? Hope you like the earrings. Happy Birthday. -IB”
