Anticipation

Here’s a completely random non-related horror story that I totally just came up with and am not currently experiencing:

A person comes home from dropping someone off somewhere, having a recently badly sprained ankle from sheer clumsiness, something electrical in their rv blows. Well, shit. They make sure all power sources are off and no fire has occurred, and thankfully they’ve got their handy dandy solar panel generator. That’s half charged. Hmm, not great but could be worse. They sit down with cramps, other various aches and pains that include that heavily bruised ankle. It’s them and one of their old cats resting in bed, when suddenly, they see it.

What it is exactly, the person knows not, if could just be a terrifying but harmless cockroach. But it could be the punchy bug- the one that hits you with stings again and again.

Now sure, this person has various bug sprays, but now the flying insect has disappeared. Waiting. In the shadows of a powerless room. And all they have is their phone, an old sleepy cat, a fucked up ankle and a fight response like nobody’s business. This can work as horror, comedy, or comedic horror. *takes a bow as the light grows ever dimmer*

Oh! And this is Sheila, a beautiful bold jumping spider that found a home somewhere in here. In completely unrelated news, hopefully she catches a nice dinner tonight! 💕

Sweet and Yummy Mashed Acorn Squash Thanksgiving dinner would benefit from the addition of buttery mashed acorn squash with a hint of sweetness from brown sugar and cinnamon.

I plucked up an acorn,

thinking I would find a place to plant it on my walk.

Not beside the road.

Not in the mowed field by the cemetery.

Not in a stranger's lawn.

There's something about an errand to plant an oak that shows much of what troubles our world,

a place where a new tree is inconvenient.

Give it to God and Go to Sleep

After many nights of terrible sleep with a million and one nightmares (a slight exaggeration), I was exhausted in church and absolutely desperate for a solution to my sleeping problems.

I confided in one of my friends. I told her I was struggling with bad dreams and restless nights, and she shared a few important Bible verses that she repeats before she goes to sleep:

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” - Psalm 4:8

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me.” - John 14:1

‭‭ “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” - Hebrews 4:16

‭‭ “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” - Colossians 3:15

‭‭ “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” - Isaiah 26:3

I’ve made it a habit of mine to repeat them myself when I lay down in bed, and I’ve found the bad dreams are becoming less frequent and I’m finally getting some rest.

To put it quite simply, I’ve learned the importance of giving it to God and going to sleep. Whatever is troubling me, I trust Him to help me through. He hasn’t led me wrong before, and He never will. Whether my worries are the size of an acorn, or the size of a great oak tree, I trust my problems to Him and He will help me through them whilst I’m too weary to manage myself.

HEYYY IIDK IFHOU TAKE REQUEST BUTTTT HOW WOULD THE HASHIRA REACT TO A HYPER ENERGETIC READER WHO IS ONE SECOND DOING 1 THINK THEN THE NEXT A NEW THING LIKE THEY COULD BE PAINTING AND THE NEXT SKY DIVING

I love your writing style hehe

Male pillars x Reader - the art of being too energetic

author's note: i hope this request is to your liking. truthfully, i had trouble writing it at some points.

pairing: Tengen x reader, Obanai x reader, Rengoku x reader, Sanemi x reader, Giyuu x reader, Gyomei x reader

content warning: none

Tengen:

where were you now? he swore you had been standing next to him a few moments ago. he looked around the streets, trying to spot you.

did you see a demon and moved forward without him? no, he would've heard it. he looked around the dark streets, not taking long to figure out where you went.

his feet dragged him towards the festival down the street. the area was filled with lamps and people wearing the prettiest kimonos or yukatas.

yet none of them stole his attention away from what mattered. you. you were in the middle of the crowd of dancing people. you spun around in fluid motions, a smile plastered on your face.

if it hadn't been for your uniform, you would've fitted right in. he moved forward without thinking, his hand soon grasping yours.

"now what were you thinking? we've been walking through the empty streets just a few seconds ago!" he said, his lips tugging up into a smile.

"couldn't resist, the music drew me in!" you laughed, twirling around him. he followed, both of you now dancing in sync. you didn't care for the eyes staring at the two of you. "are you mad?"

"you're too flamboyant to be mad at."

Obanai:

Obanai had been sitting on a tree, lazily watching you train. he didn't have anything better to do and you enjoyed his presence. however, when he looked down, you weren't training next to his tree anymore.

he looked to the side, flinching when you sat right next to him. "[name]!" he called out, looking at you surpised. he gave you a questioning look, waiting for your explanation.

"i found this." you answered, showing him a small acorn - or rather the rest of it. he looked at the cupule, you held it up by it's stem.

"and..?" he asked, still confused. it wasn't surprising to see you change your mood so quickly, but he found himself confused every time. especially now when you looked at Kaburamaru.

"and this!" you said, offering the snake to slither onto your arm. Kaburamu listened and Obanai watched in anticipation. the snake trusted you, just like Obanai did.

the cupule you held in hand was carefully placed on Kaburamaru's head, slowly pulling away to not knock it down. you blinked a few times and then looked at Obanai.

"it's a little hat! what do ya think?" you asked enthusiastically.

Obanai's eyes wandered between you and Kaburamaru, then back at you. "it's great. you should find him a scarf too."

"you're right!"

Rengoku:

"little flame? darling?!" he called out your name, desperately trying to find you. he had been sitting in the living room when he noticed the odd smell of smoke.

he had been worried sick, trying to find the source. his eyes widened upon seeing the clouds of smoke leaving your shared kitchen. however, when he ran inside, he was even more confused.

"darling..?" he asked, tilting his head to the side to get a better look at you. he could barely see it through all the fug, but he figured you were standing next to the stove.

when he came closer, he saw you more clearly - you were holding a bucket in your hand. his eyes fixed on the stove, hearing it sizzle quietly. it was wet and still slightly hot. he couldn't make out what had been in the pan, but it was burnt now.

"oh, Kyojuro!" you gasped, looking at the man. you hadn't heard him before. your eyes followed his gaze, your face growing red when you looked at the stove.

"i wanted to cook something, but then i remembered this book from a few years ago. i'm sure i had it somewhere around-" you babbled, stopping when you looked at him again.

you had expected him to be mad for nearly burning the whole house down, but he didn't look angry in the slightest. he took the bucket out of your hands instead, placing it to the side.

"let's clean this up first, we can search for the book later." he simply said, his motivated stance not leaving. you agreed, cleaning the kitchen together.

you only stopped when he suddenly spoke again, leaving you baffled.

"you know, i once burned my family's house down when i was smaller."

Sanemi:

Sanemi looked at you, your eyes staring back into his. his gaze hardened, daring you to move further.

"don't do it." he grumbled, his hands ready to grab you in an instant. if someone would've walked into the room, they would've surely questioned your sanity.

"i'm going to do it." you answered, giving him a mischevious smirk. his eyes narrowed, his body tensing up.

you had found a new hobby a few days ago, which happened to involve him. now he gave you his undivided attention when you were acting strange or gave him a knowing look.

in the blink of an eye you turned around and jumped backwards, Sanemi reacting immediately. he made sure to catch you in his arms, stopping you from falling and hitting the ground.

he let out an annoyed sigh, having caught you. again. he didn't even remember how many times it had been this week. "stop doing that!"

"you know you love it" you chirped, giving him a triumphing smile. he rolled his eyes, letting go of you.

but you were right, he did love it.

Giyuu:

"i want wagashi." you said, tugging at Giyuu's sleeve. normally, your request would've been completely fine, but now he was looking at you in disbelief.

"what?" he asked, stopping in his tracks. you came to a halt next to him, repeating what you've just said. "i want to eat wagashi."

he was at a loss of words. you had asked for daifuku nearly ten minutes ago. he had been walking to your favourite shop with you since then, knowing it would make you the happiest.

"we would have to walk in the opposite direction." he remarked, giving you a questioning stare. you blinked at him a few times, as if you were waiting for his answer.

he would've said no to anyone else, but he was used to your impulsive behavior. he couldn't explain why you made decision the way you did, but he thought of it as refreshing. he sighed, turning around on his feet.

"let's buy you some wagashi."

Gyomei:

"can i move now?" he asked. he had been sitting under the waterfall for about thirty minutes now. you had asked him to paint a picture of the moment, which he found himself agreeing to.

however, he hadn't heard anything from you since over fifteen minutes, making him question what was going on. the cold water of the waterfall hitting his back overshadowed most of the other sounds around him, but he managed to hear you stand up.

"Gyomei, i'm so sorry!" you apologized profusely, running towards the waterfall. he heard the splashs over your body pushing the water around you away, eventually feeling your hand pull on his.

"i completely forget about the painting. there was a cat and-" you stopped when you felt his head turn towards yours. you looked at him, wondering what could've made him forget about your mistake.

"a cat?" he asked, feeling you change the direction you were pulling him. it wasn't your strength to keep attention on one thing, but he couldn't care less.

besides, he shared your fascination over cats.

[windvexer]

If someone said to me, "I'm a beginner witch and I want to cover my bases in case I run into magical trouble," I would recommend:

One home ward for general protection, probably as a container spell or as an artificial spirit (perhaps using clove, red pepper, cinnamon, and soil or dust from the corners of the home/property), for the purpose of keeping out ill-fortune, ill-intent, and unwanted guests

One completely separate home ward, probably as a container spell (perhaps using dill, rosemary, and garlic), for the purpose of keeping out uninvited spirits, unwanted spirits, and malefica sent intentionally or unintentionally by other practitioners

One heavy-duty protective amulet, probably made of rusty nails or a piece of hematite or otherwise iron, for the purpose of behaving as a suit of heavy armor in case of spiritual alarm; to be carried about as you solve the problem; the effects of which may be encumbering and too imposing for everyday use

One more mild protective amulet (perhaps made of amethyst jewelry, or an acorn, or an oak twig cross), for the purpose of providing an immediate protection against ill spirits and energies; to be worn when a shield is desired, but a shielding energy-working technique is too draining or time-consuming; should be comfortable to wear as often as desired

Of all of these things, avoid repeating ingredients across charms, unless you are in special allyship with a certain spirit.

Those persons also suffering from nightmares or disturbed dreams may also benefit from:

One bedroom ward, probably a container spell or Witch's Ladder (perhaps containing star anise, amethyst, knotted cord, spiders or the forms of spiders, and rosemary), for the purpose of tangling up ill spirits and ill energies which inspire bad dreams.

Of any ward and amulet, feed it a minimum of once a season; if they're working often to provide assistance, or if the effects run out, increase feeding to once a month; in times of distress, feed weekly or as needed.

Thinking about yandere dc again and new y/n idea cause can't help myself

Thinking about a y/n who is like squirrel girl and this is more of a platonic yandere story (I have read the squirrel girl comics a long time ago and seeing her in marvel rivals and stuff, also in the Jeff the landshark comics so yeah) and has the powers for squirrel girl and wants to be a hero but being stuck in the bat family is hard cause, y/n is kinda the middle youngest just month later than Tim drake and y/n hates it cause Bruce says it's to dangerous as well as the other bat family and y/n is shocked cause Damian is a whole ass child and y/n is older than him!

Once y/n snuck out of the manor and into the city and ended up seeing Gordon having trouble with a crime case and y/n with a squirrel who was around the place of the crime. Ended up up finding the criminal who robbed the place and turned them into Gordon and after y/n was scolded by Bruce and Alfred for sneaking out and y/n did feel bad but they saved a store from losing all their money and luckily Grayson stepped in and y/n was able to go on patrols and stuff but only when there were small crimes and y/n got bored and had their squirrel friend with them and they did find a cool slingshot but still bored because there wasn't anything exciting happening and of course they got to help people and stop criminals but it was still boring but y/n ended up wandering off.

(Grayson wasn't paying attention and was doing some cool monologue in his head so he was heavily distracted) y/n ended up finding jokers henchmen stealing stuff. They end up defeating the henchmen and of course when Grayson finds y/n, he's worried as hell but then sees 10 of jokers henchmen on the ground with acorns on them and several with bite marks from a squirrel. Also y/n has a special attack, pocket squirrel in a time of need, y/n will literally throw a squirrel at you or just fastly pelt you with acorns if needed.

I also love the thought of because of this y/n having the powers of squirrel girl, they also have the big squirrel tail because I like to think when y/n is startled they just puff up their tail or something, plus squirrels can communicate with their tails so I imagine when their mad at the Grayson or Jason or basically anyone, they just stopped talking to them but they use their tail to bascially cuss them out or something.

I have more ideas because I got back into DC and have been watching Batman the original animated series and some other DC series so I got back into my DC brainrot.

(but that's it for my yapping session. If you like this idea please don't feel shy and request any ideas for stories or y/n ideas. But for now please stay safe and drink water!)

[featherwurm]

When Karlach was little her mom and dad used to entertain and cheer her with 'Mr. & Ms. Tail' - drawing on their tails and making them talk to her in funny voices. Naturally, as everyone is kindof going through it, this has spread to the Tadfools as an ongoing bit.

Tav found it hilarious, but had a little trouble with doing it herself at first - she doesn't have a broad web of skin on her tail and doesn't have room to draw eyes on it. However, Halsin found a perfect pair of acorns on a single stem that makes for ideal googly eyes. Dr. Tail was born.

They harass Astarion because they love him (and it makes him laugh even if he tries to hide it.) Also they've gotten Dammon in on the bit too.

(You have to imagine them flailing around like muppets.)

Your charm bracelet from König.

A pewter chain

Two crown charms, one for him and one for you. Your’s is a little smaller and has a couple of padparascha sapphires in it.

A strawberry. Because he loves your strawberry week 👀

A squirrel charm and an acorn charm. He thinks of himself as a squirrel that’s stashed you away when you overwinter at his place for the first time.

A clamshell with a pearl inside. Because you’re his perle! A brilliant thing found among nature.

A cat. To represent your three furry adopted children.

A spool of thread with a needle in it. He has trouble finding clothes that fit him well, and he often wears them down to rags, or rips the things that don’t fit as well as he’d like. So you mend for him sometimes.

Gonna be honest I had this queued for later but I can’t keep this from @machveil any longer

More Fae! This might be my last batch for now I'm runnin' outta steam and gotta get back to drawing other shit haha, but this was fun!

More lore under the cut:

The Acorn Fairy is the Princess of the Autumn Court, though despite this she's not always one for fancy dress and often prefers a daring adventure to a party. Her companion is an Electric Sprite! Sprites are smaller than plant Fae, but they are born from magical element events, this Sprite in particular was born after lightning struck an Acorn in mid-air, turning the acorn into a gemstone and housing the Sprite. The two get along incredibly well, and are rarely apart. During Winter the Sprite often hibernates to save energy - when she hears Acorn she'll know Spring has returned.

The Sea Holly Fairy rivals Sycamore on genius, both create a lot of the technology used by most Fae, for instance Sea Holly created the prosthetics that Wheat uses. Due to their claw-less hands, they have a little trouble climbing without gear, but they are an efficient swimmer.

The Dragon-Fruit Fairy is bigger than most Fae, and as result can often offer flightless Fae a ride! They're friendly, but a fierce fighter - they cannot spit fire like their dragon-counterparts, but instead can spit seeds like bullets. They're a fierce protector, often accompanying any Fae venturing outside into the Mortal Realm to ensure they all safely return.

Wheat and Iris Fae are an unlikely pair, Iris being a high ranking Summer Court Fae and Wheat being rather low in the Autumn Court. Originally Iris overlooked Wheat due to bias, but their tenacity and clear skill in fighting caught his attention. He offered to train her in an act of haughty confidence, but after realising she was giving him a run for his money forced him to readdress his mindset. He still refuses to admit he enjoys her company, but she can read him better than he thinks. Wheat's used to being underestimated - most think she's just a type of grass not realising her grains are used in most of their baked goods, but she prefers to remain humble about it. She doesn't care too much about appearances, she's good friends with the Princess after all.

I've been thinking about LEP uniforms again.

My personal design for the LEPrecon uniforms is a "fake" jumpsuit with trousers and jacket, with an additional vest on top, for combat missions. Wings either attach or are part of the vest. Tool belt, and vambraces that have their wrist computers. (Holly as Captain, Trouble as Major).

The Traffic uniform is brighter than normal LEP uniform for the sake of visibility and the vest has a screen on the front and back as officers on traffic duty are described as "walking road signs". The commander's uniform is blue, but otherwise the same as any other LEPrecon uniform. (Holly as Corporal, Trouble as Commander).

Tool belt includes: Moonbelt, gun holster, buzz baton, handcuffs + additional zipties, pheromone spray (read: pepper spray), ammo, omnitool, first aid kit, camouflage foil. Optionally knife and flashlight.

The uniforms have rank insignia as well as name tags. The ranks in the books are... weird, so far we have: Cadet, Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Commandant, Captain, Major, Commodore, Wing Commander and Commander (roughly in that order). I've also given different acorn clusters to different ranks; from Private to Commandant one acorn, from Captain to Commodore cluster of two acorns, and for Wing Commander and Commander cluster of three acorns.

Hi, I really liked your blue lock love language headcanons. Could you please write about Bachira and Noel Noa? Thank you, and have a lovely day/night🌷

꩜ⴰ ࣪˖ BLLK LOVE LANGUAGE HEADCANONS

bachira meguru & noel noa

⸻ in which i'll be rating their love language on a scale of 1-10 based on my understanding of their personality + include the type of person they'd be compatible with.

⸻ thank you for the request : ] i hope you like this one too.

⸻ [ part i. itoshi sae & nagi seishirou ] [ part ii. isagi yoichi & itoshi rin ]

BACHIRA MEGURU

ACTS OF SERVICE: 10/10. Considering how lonely he was during his childhood, I feel like he's the type of person who likes to please someone to get them to stay, romance-wise. He seems like someone who'd be very eager to help with anything either prompted or unprompted. This guy has no complaints unless it's something that he's unfamiliar with. Otherwise, whatever you need; he's on it.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: 9/10. I think that he has no trouble expressing his thoughts and feelings no matter how perplexing they sound. He's also not slow when it comes to emotional cues, so he can definitely tell when someone is feeling a down or happy. I feel like he'd be really good at hyping someone up considering how energetic he is, but if you're feeling down, he'd probably attempt to be silly to get you to feel better. He may not be the best at giving advice, but he's good at making people feel better, for sure.

PHYSICAL TOUCH: 10/10. This guy is the touchy type. We can already see that based on how he interacts with Isagi and the other characters in Blue Lock. I think that the problem doesn't lie with the fact that he doesn't like it unlike most of the other characters in Blue Lock, but rather, he likes it so much that he's probably so clingy (though that depends on your preference). He's probably the type to want to hold hands all the time, or hug, or feed you. Basically, he's always latched onto you or giving you playful jabs, for sure.

Exhibit A: him feeding Isagi after they won the match against Team V (if I remember correctly).

QUALITY TIME: 10/10. Although he can be independent, he still tends to be very clingy. I feel like if he had a significant other, his thought process would be something like "why would I need to feel lonely or isolate myself when I have an s/o?" So, he's definitely not leaving you alone so long as he's around. You can't be in separate rooms when you're under one house or one building because he doesn't understand the point of it. If you're the type to want space every now and then, then that's something you'd have to articulate to him because that idea doesn't come naturally into his brain.

GIFT GIVING: 8/10. He likes to give gifts every now and then, but they're always so unique and kind of strange. He might give you a pretty and shiny acorn, or bring home a stray puppy, or even give you a random rock, saying that it "reminded him of you." He's not the best at giving practical gifts, but it's the thought that counts with him and his gifts.

COMPATIBLE WITH: someone who is a little on the calmer side to balance out his high energy. Also, I think he has a slight problem with unintentionally crossing boundaries, so someone who would nicely emphasize the importance of respecting it would suit him. It doesn't really matter whether the person is introverted or extroverted; what matters is their ability to handle his high energy and letting it not get out of hand.

NOEL NOA

ACTS OF SERVICE: 9/10. I feel like he naturally comes off as a gentleman even if he doesn't mean to. He seems like the type of person to hold the door open for you, let you walk in first, carry your bag if you find them to be heavy, and help you clean up. Although, he does all that mostly to be efficient. His logic is probably something like "if you are having trouble with something, then isn't the obvious solution for me to help you/do it for you so it's done faster?" He doesn't like to waste time especially on pointless stuff like debating on who should be opening the door for who because he's already doing it.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: 5/10. Not the best with comforting. I feel like he wouldn't know what to say when faced with a situation wherein you were feeling emotional, so he either stays quiet or attempts to give you a solution even if you didn't ask for it. I feel like the issue with this one is because of his obsession with logic, he would seem like the type to accidentally invalidate your emotions by pushing for the solutions he thought of. Still, I think he's a great person to approach when it comes to objective advice.

PHYSICAL TOUCH: 2/10. He will not initiate physical intimacy and he might feel a little uncomfortable if you initiate it especially in the beginning of a relationship. He's a pretty closed-off person and he seems like someone who doesn't see the point in doing things like hugging or holding hands—they don't seem practical. You'd just have to get him warmed up to the idea by slowly initiating them.

QUALITY TIME: 6/10. He spends time with a significant other because he might see it as an obligation to do so and not more-so because he actively seeks for it. He thinks that it's a natural thing to do for couples and might think that there is a general standard for how this relationship thing works and spending time with them is among one of those in the list. Whether you perceive this to be a good thing or bad thing would be up to you though.

GIFT GIVING: 8/10. Again, general standards for couples—I think he subconsciously follows that, so, I think he'd be good at gifting you both practical things and romantic things such as flowers. You might not receive a heart-felt letter because he wouldn't know what to say, but he seems like the type to give you roses on valentine's day. He also seems like someone who would get you practical gifts when he feels like you need them.

COMPATIBLE WITH: someone who is mature and is able to argue against his rigid logic, but still be able to appreciate this characteristic of his. I feel like he tends to be extremely rigid with his thought process to the point that it's sometimes hard to convince him of different ideas, so a significant other who is mature and able to articulate their thoughts properly would be suitable for him. It would also help if they're pretty good at persuading and using his own logic against him (not in an argumentative way) as it might make him feel challenged, but in a good way.

I've had the key for about 2 months now and I just got the acorn bell at an Oddities expo ✨ Saw the acorn and realized what I could do since I have the key already so I bought it 😂 Maybe if Bilbo had a bell Thorin would be able to stop him from sneaking off and getting into trouble 😂
