PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

[bigothteddies]

I enjoy the idea of being a tempting thought in someone’s mind. That “I shouldn’t…” thought that keeps sticking around til you’re biting your lip and wondering just how bad one taste could be.

[realpokemon]

ive raised smoliv before and they are absolutely little troublemakers, however if you put them in a container they seem to like it, like compression therapy. this is all a very long way to say that i have an egg carton full of smoliv

oh god i would not trust myself with that. do you know how often i wake up at 3 am in a daze and make omelets with my eyes closed 90% of the way

We are in summer in the northern hemisphere, and sunblock is important. However, not everyone can wear sunblock. Reasons people can't wear sunblock include but are not limited to:

allergies

sensory issues

limited mobility

limited spoons

memory issues

Despite this, I've never really seen any posts advertising things you can do other than wearing sunblock to prevent excess UV exposure. A couple that I know of:

Wearing covering, breathable clothing. Woven plant fibers are the best for enabling your sweat to still work as evaporative cooling, in my experience. If you're not sure if your clothing will work, try holding it up to the light. The less light it lets through, the less sunlight it will let through.

Don't forget a hat with a brim! Your facial skin is thin and vulnerable to burning.

There are products available that you can put in the wash to increase the sun protection of your clothing, though I can't personally vouch for them.

Using an umbrella as a sunshade. A classic approach that does work well. This is especially useful when you have one of those front or back baby carriers and the baby can't have sunblock put on them.

I strongly encourage people to add other alternatives to wearing sunblock to this post.

HAPPY GOJO GETOU DYING DAY!!!!

Please Parental Figure, will Fae!König get a little kiss🥺

Oh you wanna kiss the nasty boy? Ok, one little kiss, but only because it's their first date.

König is standing on your front step, waiting, letting you finish up the last of your dinner conversation. Despite this not being a date it's been… kind of nice. He's good company.

Silence lapses between you. You've run out of things to tell him, but you don't really want to say goodbye yet. König reaches towards you and stops, hovering with a few inquisitive clicks.

"We're not in the shop, you can touch, just-" his fingers are so painfully gentle as they trace over your cheek, and along your jaw, "-behave." You breathe. His eyes linger on your lips, and you feel your brows draw together trying to- trying to…

There's a low comfortable purr rumbling in his chest, lulling you into something warm and fuzzy as he tips your head back.

You want to kiss him. The way he looks at you, the way he touches you, the way he fills your thoughts every waking moment, how could you not? You keep telling yourself that you can't want König the way you do, try to convince yourself that the way your stomach flips when you see him is fear and not desire, but- but he knows all that, you think. He lets you be prickly and unfriendly, let's you keep your defenses up because he knows you won't know how to act without them. He's so terribly patient with you.

You press up on your toes and twist your fingers in his shirt, hoping that's enough incentive for him to lean down and kiss you.

The problem is the hood. You don’t want to kiss his hood, you want to kiss the man underneath it. But every time you've thought about kissing him the idea of asking him to take the hood off has seemed insurmountable. It's felt like asking for a world of trust that you're not sure you should be afforded.

You shouldn't have been worried. As soon as your eyes shut you feel his lips against yours. He tips your head all the way back, giving himself room to lean down and kiss you like he's been dying to since he saw you. Something sweet and as natural as breathing. His teeth catch against your lip, and you make a muffled noise of pain before his tongue is soothing the ache. You open for him, feeling his thumb stroke your cheek encouragingly as you brush your tongue tentatively over his teeth. You're curious but careful to stay clear of their sharp points.

König doesn't seem worried, that deep rumble in his chest keeps dragging you further down into heavy bliss, your brain working overtime to keep you standing. Your limbs are heavy and slow from something other than cheap beer, and you let König take your weight as you lean against him. It feels like he's pumping you full of something heady and warm, a poison you'd never want to run from. His teeth are on your lip again, but the pain doesn't come back, just his tongue. All of him is so big and insistent, including his fingers as they wrap around something warm in your chest, something golden.

You blink your eyes open as he ducks down to mouth at your neck, he feels bigger, or maybe you feel smaller. You feel his mouth open and then hesitate, your chest labors around a breath, he thinks better of it and pulls back.

He stares down at you like- God you are too out of it for a decent metaphor but it's warm and hungry, and you think you can taste it on your tongue. He still has his hood on, did- no, it was off when he kissed you, right?

"Thank you for dinner, Liebling," he tells you quietly, and you feel your heart clench affectionately.

"Sure, any time." You murmur, letting him put you back in your entryway. He waits for you to close the door, and you lock it definitely, feeling the bind of his magic slide off of you as you do. You catch sight of yourself in the mirror on the back of your front closet, but even if you hadn't you would've felt it when the blood dripping from your lips finally fell on your shirt.

aged up designs that i made a bit ago :))

[silver-horse]

unfortunately I have opinions about the ascendant astarion ending and I have been holding back from saying it. but it's a problem that applies to the whole game and it's been annoying me

what's actually weird about the ascendant "romance" scene is that the writer considers it a tempting option for the player. They wrote it to be bad, but they also think it's a fun and sexy option. Same goes for the haarlep scene which they also wrote that way because they find it sexy. Except finding this sexually appealing entirely hinges on the idea that the player is a submissive. So RIP to a scene that the rest of us could have found sexy because the lead narrative designer was a submissive. lmao

In this game you can have a scene where you have to kneel for a male character. But you can never have a male character do the same for you. (Halsin doesn't count. It's a vanilla scene, he is not submissive there and we are not even asking/telling him to kneel down) You don't get such options, not even if you play a drow female! RIP the number one reason for playing drow female to be honest. lol You can kneel and fully submit to ascendant astarion or fully submit to mizora or fully submit to haarlep or submit to lae'zel or submit to minthara. you can get whipped by abdirak or you can tell him "touch me and lose a hand" he even responds positively to this remark and yet the possibility to flip the dynamic doesn't exist. There is never an option where a male character truly submits to the player. RIP to a scene that would have been the opposite of the traditional dynamic. the potential that existed but they never used the opportunity

By the way, how interesting that Lae'zel is dominant but she is a woman so ofc you get the option to tell her “no you will submit to me”. You never get such switch options with any of the male characters... Obviously it's not ascendant where they could have made that an option. My point is that it's NEVER an option among so many male characters.

It's a cool idea that the bad ending in a romance means "I saw this character as a sex object" except it falls apart when the scene is very sexually unappealing to anyone who is more dominant leaning. If I see a character as a sex object then I would place them in sexual situations which are appealing to me. so the message doesn't quite work. because there isn't anything that I can selfishly choose for myself just because I like it and I find it sexy.
