Seeing his friend like this, a man who had lost what he had built and put his soul into, was heartbreaking. Roan felt the urge to fall to his knees and confess everything and beg for forgiveness then and there. But he knew that this would only cause more hurt and no forgiveness could be granted for regret alone. With enough good deeds he could perhaps redeem himself somewhat, but the burden of guilt would not go away easily. "Once I'm done with Remington Tower I'll come by and see if I can help with the pub," he promised.

Concern painted lines on Roan's face when Jaxon told him about the attack. "You and Gwen were attacked?" He felt his guilt turn into anger. This shouldn't have happened, this wasn't part of the plan. And something about his words struck a chord of familiarity that worried Roan. "How are you faring now? Is she- better?" He put a hand on Jax's shoulder and led him away to a calm corner by the windows. "Tell me about this magic. You said it slowed your healing. How was it manifested, a weapon or a spell?"

Reed did not notice anything off about his friend. Nothing that he couldn't possibly relate to the aftermath of what they had all seen take place about a week ago anyway. He was exhausted..not to mention he had enough on his plate as it was. "It's all good - life, work..these things just get in the way sometimes, don't they?" he said, shaking it off with ease. Seconds after, Jax was doing the same about the pub situation. Now, that one stang but..he had to keep reminding himself of what was important. Like his reason for being at Remington tower of all places. "..thanks, man. It's been a bitch to clean up, figure out how to rebuild and all but-- yeah, something like that. I was actually hoping to speak to Elijah about somethin' my d-Gwen got hit with. Some..magic. It slowed down her healing.. mine too, a while ago. I just want to get to the bottom of things cause I'm scared..I don't- I can't see this happen again."

At this point Shauna Shipman is literally built to be in the woods howling and hearing her pack answer her with yips and barks of excitement as they close in on a frantic girl who has become more prey animal than human. THAT'S HER NATURAL HABITAT! Stop trying to relocate her it's fucking inhumane.

C is an entirely bullshit letter, what is it doing that 'k' and 's' aren't already doing perfectly fine on their own? Palling around with 'h'? Just give the voiceless post alveolar fricative its own orthography. 'C'. Useless.

how ctechno tries to court cdream? Like what methods he uses?

well, he tries a lot of things from a wide variety of cultures because, again, he's not entirely sure what culture dream is from.

first, he tries other nether customs because he may not know what dream is, but he's pretty sure dream grew up with sapnap who was raised by bad... or something.

the thing is, though, techno is trying to show that he's very serious about respecting the merging of their two cultures. so, he decides to add some piglin flair to everything. how does he do that? by making it all a competition. because competitiveness is a love language, especially in piglin culture where by engaging in competition, you're showing that you're on equal footing and will make a good match.

this means that with everything techno tries, dream just assumes it's a part of their rivalry.

"hey dream. I bet I can loot this fortress before you." "okay so we both walk into a fortess, get ourselves withered, and see who cracks first and drinks milk." "we both have to raise and defend these turtle eggs. whoever's turtles are healthiest, wins."

that... doesn't work. dream is really into it, of course, and takes all the opportunities he can get to try and rack up his wins against techno, but he doesn't show signs of taking the courting to the next step.

so, techno is kinda in this limbo where he's engaged to the guy, but he can't seem to figure out what he needs to do to get the guy to actually marry him.

phil is... equally baffled. listen. listen. phil is married to the goddess of death. that is... not a normal relationship, so he doesn't really have a good basis for giving relationship advice. he just thinks dream is testing techno, seeing if he's really the best suited partner, but they can't figure out what dream wants techno to do.

it doesn't help that dream is also oblivious to the more obvious human customs. the dates techno takes them on? dream thinks it's another level of their rivalry. baking date? okay, so they're seeing who can bake the best cake. going for a nice evening stroll around the server? dream will be sure to kill more mobs than techno.

it just... doesn't occur to dream that techno's essentially flirting with him. dream's mind is so jumbled with everything happening on the server that he never even stops to consider it.

but, well, his rivalry with techno is the one thing that hasn't changed during all of this, so he'll keep it for as long as he's able to.

I've read and enjoyed some role-reversal AUs where Spock is the captain and Kirk is the first officer, but I'm kind of wondering if there are any where Spock is the captain and Kirk is the lead psychologist, occupying a role on the ship somewhere between Elizabeth Dehner and Deanna Troi. Or even an AU where Spock is still chief science officer, but ship psychologist!Kirk answers to him.

I mean, it seems inevitable that someone has written that AU in the *checks hand* 58 years since the possibility was brought up onscreen. And I do think Kirk's "lol no fucking shit" response to McCoy suggesting he'd make a good psychologist—given how much Kirk operates by instantly reading the people and situations around him and calibrating his persona as needed—kind of invites it!

So it's definitely a different science division Kirk scenario, but fun to think about now and then. Especially given that he canonically has such strong opinions about the importance of ethical approaches to clinical treatment and so on.

Like with real animal husbandry, "Is it possible to..." and "is it a good idea to..." yields two different answers!

Is it possible? Hares are working animals. Sometimes it's necessary that a hare be trained to behave in the field around things it thinks of as prey. (Carriage hares can't be snapping up pursedogs as a mid-day snack, after all.)

The success of such endeavors depends on how good a trainer the hare's bonded person is, as well as the temperament of the individual animal. So yes, it's possible.

But is it a good idea? Only if you're willing to take the risk of Fido mysteriously going missing.

Hi Pia,

I just wanted to say you are an inspiration to me. I'm in my twenties and also struggling with an insane amount of health issues with new ones constantly popping up, which makes me feel like I will never be able to do anything with my life. Except maybe for writing, because I can do that in my bed and I love escaping into fictional worlds.

I don't know much about your life except what you share in the author's notes, but knowing that you're living life out there and writing these amazing stories despite all your health issues gives me hope. Unfortunately I live in the US, so it's easy to fall into a spiral of doom, but maybe I can be like you one day. The choices you make every day to keep pushing forward, keep doing things that make you happy, is what makes me believe that it's possible for me to keep going, too.

Hiya anon,

Health issues suck, don't they? I started my Crappy Pokemon Collection of Chronic Health Issues in my teens but I remember I really started to get concerned in my 20s when it just kept happening. And kept happening. I think there's a sadness/grief and depression and anger that comes with that too, and a fear.

For what it's worth, science comes up with new medications all the time, new discoveries, new breakthroughs. I have started medications that have helped some issues I've had for 25 years, thinking they'd just progressively get worse. And to be fair, some of my issues do progressively get worse, and I do have new chronic illnesses or chronic or stupid health things come up fairly frequently. And as I'm sure you know, maintenance and surveillance and chasing this shit up is its own job and labour that is extremely thankless.

But outside of that, there is a great radical activism in simply being kind to yourself, loving yourself, trying hard not to see yourself as wrong in the world, as still deserving to take up your space, no matter how much that changes over time.

I have loved ones in my life who spend most of their time in their bed (and otherwise in a wheelchair), all in their 40s/50s, all who have rich lives filled with loved ones. That doesn't mean they're not sad sometimes, or not frustrated with an ableist world (especially around how quickly everyone gave up on us), but it does mean when everything feels awful and despair-filled, they have people who love them, they have hobbies and interests (game coding can be done from a bed, art can be, cross-stitch can be, writing can be, and even sometimes chopping fruit and vegetables can be if you have one of those sturdy overbed tables and can trust your hands), they have things that get better and things that get worse, they all think their lives are better now because it does just take time to...learn how to live in a body that does this when you're younger and had different visions for yourself.

I spend a lot of my time in bed. I need to lie down every afternoon for several hours or I'm non-functional in the evenings and that's on my best days. Escaping into fictional worlds is honestly such a blessing, whether it's in writing or movies or TV or anime or manhwa etc.

Sending hugs and solidarity and much love for how things are in the USA right now, especially for ill / disabled folk. There are lot of people fighting the good fight, so please make sure you take the time to rest, even on the good days, when you might be tempted to push past your limits to get everything done.

It took me forever to stop overspending energy on my good days, and I still do it all the the time, lol.
