Dear Żmija, do you know how to remove curses from objects? I swear whenever I wear my favourite earrings the day ends with me crying.

now, there are plenty of ways to rid an object of any evil that might reside within it - either by curse or bad luck, or a variety of other reasons - as this is the subject that folk magic predominantly deals with, and then as well one of my favourites. the three ideas I will list here are based on slavic magical customs - some modified when it comes to their complexity or scale, as we are talking about a small object here instead of a house, cow, or daughter - but do bear with me, as the issue itself deserves a bit more analysis than just a two-step instruction.

I assume 'the day ends with me crying' means that something bad happens other than just causing you to cry for no apparent reason - if that's wrong, please let me know and we can look at it from a different perspective.

first, why curse? curse assumes deliberation - do you believe there is someone who would want to harm you in such a way? or are the earrings themselves, for example, inherited from a family member or bought from someone and believed to carry some sort of residual curse within them? it's worth looking into this and especially into why you believe it might be a curse. sometimes those fears reside purely within ourselves, no curses necessary, and a careful examination of your own assumptions and worries yields the best results.

second, why are they your favourite? and does the fact that they are your favourite affect the frequency of you wearing them, or the occasions you choose to wear them for? if you wear them often, the chances of something going wrong are simply statistically higher. if you wear them for very important or stressful occasions, it only makes sense that you would be more susceptible to having a harder time with any possible, related failure. perhaps it's worth putting the earrings aside and carefully, as objectively as possible, examining the events that happen even without you wearing them.

and now, at last, if you would still like to do some good old magic, even if just to calm your mind and allow for further objective examination of the first two points, here are some of my favourite methods:

find in your vicinity whichever sambucus plant is native for your region - now, in slavic magic, this would usually be either sambucus ebulus (danewort) or sambucus nigra (elder). find a young flexible branch and without tearing it off or damaging it, bend it to make a loop. then, put your earrings through that loop three times - as they pass through, any widely understood evil will pass to the tree, and through its wild sacred roots back to the soil. and soil, sweetest mother, fears no curses and eats them up just as she will eat us up one day.

another method is to leave your earrings overnight in a fistful of grain, and then the next day take that grain and scatter it outside, where no people walk. the idea is both for the grain (one of the most sacred things we have, as the foundation of our nutrition and agriculture) to take the evil away, but also for the grain itself to be an offering to spirits (good or less so, depending on your own belief and situation regarding the curse) in the form of birds. where no people walk is important in the regard that someone stepping over that grain accidentally could transfer whatever evil to themselves, and that's just an unfortunate way to ruin someone's already bad monday. crucial! research the birds of your area and choose the grain itself carefully, so that you do not cause any harm to the animals and the environment.

and finally, you can also tie your earrings - the idea is that tying a knot on an object ties the evil within it as well. one way to do it is to use red thread - tie your earrings with it, make a knot, then remove the thread without untying it (you can unclasp the earrings, slide the thread off, whichever works, it doesn't have to be tied securely at all) and then burn the thread itself. otherwise, you can put your earrings in a piece of fabric and tie that bundle, and making sure the knot doesn't get undone, pull the earrings out (by cutting a hole in the bundle, for example). bonus points for sticking a needle into the fabric before you get them out.

best of luck, dearest stranger, and might you have no reason for tears any time soon.

[2309analysis]

HEADCANON/ANALYSIS: So, y’know how in mostly every version, Donnie is scrawnier than the rest? Kinda aligning up with Mikey, too? I think most of that kinda comes from the lack of physique he really holds. As in, his muscle mass, and, ooh, this really kinda might be tough to put into words… he’s the tallest, but clearly the less likely to punch his way through a war zone without being hurt. Reckon, alone, and just with bare fists. Due to his height and lack of muscle; he comes out as scrawny, and easier to handle than the other three. Kinda putting Donnie permanently at a disadvantage, and leaving it up to his skills and abilities to shine through for him.

Which really explains his 2018 (mostly) inferiority complex. Especially (back to 2012) when Karai points out his scrawniness and he defensively replies “hey, I’m not scrawny!” Clearly implying, he knows, and he’s obviously a tad insecure about it. Most likely why, he always aiming to impress his brothers with his inventions, so they probably won’t feel like he’ll be useless to them. Obviously due to the fact, he’s the brains, he fixes things, he’s the one to rely on when technology is the enemy.

Although, I think that fuels his ‘ego,’ but a huge inferiority complex, and how agile his flexibility is. If he can’t hurt, he can dodge and find other ways to make use of his fighting. While, his weapon is pretty symbolic to that fact, that he just knows he can’t and won’t do near the damage his brothers, (especially Leo & Raph), he can at least be useful when it comes to ingenuity. Hence, the Bo Staff being the weapon of choice and tactical advantages.

He’s also clearly more on the defensive end of fights; making sure that he doesn’t lose ground, keeping his front open like Raph and Mikey are forced to. Like Leo, he’s quick, and has most advantages when it does come to tactics, perseverance, ingenuity, and, most of the time, field. He can easily, and I mean, just easily, use the staff for higher grounding, fling it around others to knock them off of their feet, and send a Gatling of attacks thrown at the head with a wooden (or uranium (I think?)) stick! Kinda referencing when 2012 first fought Shredder, and Donnie basically got knocked in the head, 5+ times by his own weapon. (It humors me to this day)

Unironically, proving the concept of his inferiority complex on the field. (Lowkey don’t even get me started on how in the 2020 RotTMNT film they sorta imply he’s even physically falling behind Mikey). He almost has to reply on his tech to even, well, keep up, and make sure that if he can’t fight, he’s not useless, completely. It also adds onto the stress, and extreme pressure, he’s also the only one who can do most of the high staked missions and routes. Which, supports the popular headcanon, and I’m stealing it just for this glorious purpose of the headcanon, he barely ever sleeps. Like, in a week, he can coherently sleep for barely two nights, if two, at all!

In short, I also don’t think, no matter how hard or much he does train; he’ll ever be had buff as his brothers. I also don’t necessarily think he wants to, either, he’s definitely the one who’d slack off any chance he gets just to work on other things, that are “to more importance.” (Mf definitely says that as an excuse to Raph or Leo because he’s so petty, and I love him). Besides, he’d definitely find training just as boring, and gets most frustrated with the reasons his brothers excuse him from his room to train. If it’s Splints, he’s trap is shut, but in his head, the training is pointless, and if they want more battle experience and tactical advantages; fuck around and find out. (Basically go fight the baddies yourselves, and learn their movesets). At least, that’s his train of thought for battles, (especially first-times). Most of the reasons he finds it pointless, is because he feels he doesn’t grow from it. Sure, he’s tough, and strong, but not invincible or powerful like his brothers.

This is so late and repressed I just ended forgetting to post it. Yippee

Meet Gastornis (or Diatryma, depending on where you are and when you first found out about it)

Answer posted below. Please do not look until after you voted.

If you were to guess based on first impressions, you might think that this 2 meter (6’6” ft.) tall bird would be a fearsome hunter. And sure, that large head and beak would have been strong and produce a powerful bite, but the rest of Gastornis does not support a predatory lifestyle.

For starters, its legs are thick and relatively short; built for strength and support rather than speed and agility. Based on trackways, the claws would have been relatively blunt. Moving up, the neck and skull are short and sturdily built. This would have limited flexibility, something that would be detrimental to a carnivore. Topping it all off, the beak lacks the obvious hook found in carnivorous birds.(And before anyone asks, yes, the Phorusrhacids, which are carnivorous, were also massive flightless birds, but they had longer legs and necks, a hooked bill, and sharp talons, not to mention direct evidence of predation in fossil beds. The only reason Gastornis was initially thought to be carnivorous was that its bones were found in the same deposits as eohippus back in the 19th century)

Isotopic and geochemical analysis of Gastornis bones yielded a surprising result. The elements, especially calcium, were found to be most similar to fossil herbivores. You heard that right, they were herbivores, meaning that you’d be quite safe if you decided to visit Europe, China, or North America during the Eocene.

Then again, the saying goes that the chances of being eaten are tiny, but never zero. (Another fun fact is that family Gastornithidae is most closely related to waterfowl and screamers, which is why I based the plumage loosely on a Muscovy duck)

Warning: Self analysis, might be biased, personal thoughts

Everything wrong with Mercedes' social media team (+ PR)

Before this, I just wanted to acknowledge how hard they've been working as a team in such a tough position, dealing with the hates, etc. I perfectly understand that every team has different ways of social media management and PR strategy that can't be compared to one another. But I feel like I need to talk about what are the things I felt wrong and maybe give some of my thoughts or insights with it.

1. Content

Okay. I've talked about this before and anon said "They might be forced or ordered to make such contents. This and that yadda yadda and in the end they may not have much choices to make except follow their superiors" I just wanna yes. Yes it could be like that but let's talk about the overall content that has been put out now.

Objectively speaking, Mercedes' social media team's achilles heel is probably the fact that they could not force one party to do the same amount of social media PR as George does. It is perfectly understandable that LH might not want to do those things because as you age or progress in some sport, you get tired of doing those PR shits and I don't blame him. It is tiring and sometimes stressful.

But I also feel like there is a lack of creativity? and I don't know where it came from. Could be from themselves, being too lenient and relaxed for the past few years because they're drowning in success and fame and did not feel the need to expand more in terms of social media strategies OR they could be restricted by their superiors too which is understandable. It is also important to note that these things might happen because all these times, Mercedes fans are mostly there for one person so as time goes on, the team starts making contents that are specific only to that niche. And they might not feel the need to branch out of there to attract general team fans outside of that niche, which explains why some might call Mercedes' contents cringe, boring, etc.

Before George, I feel like none of the drivers are open to doing friendly contents to what other teams did. It's fine since it could be counter measured by lots of other strategies but again, they didn't and the reason for it could be lack of willingness or creativity or superior words. Ever since George came, they started picking up those trends and contents to do with George and that honestly helps because George is really PR flexible to those contents but at one point, it ended up not being too useful as the effort was kind of one-sided. These kinds of things had to be a collective effort from both sides.

I do not blame any of the drivers. The other one might feel fed up or just want to relax without having to do that stupid BS (It is tiring). I just feel like Mercedes could've handled that better with better strategies but they either let it happened or it was the superiors that were in the way of improvements or something. I don't know about that but it could definitely be handled better

I had hopes for 2025. Hopefully, with the new line up, we could see a fresher side of Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team in terms of PR and social media strategy than what has happened in the past years. It would totally be exciting to see how the social media team and PR team would work with the new driver in 2025.

2. The involvement of the reserve drivers and juniors.

Mick Schumacher, ever since he entered the team as a reserve driver in 2023, has helped a lot in content making. He lessen George's burden a lot and i'm very thankful for his involvement and how he has been such a great guy in Mercedes' PR ways. He even participated on some PR campaigns like those of Monster Energy and Tommy Hilfiger.

But as there is a new reserve driver now in 2024 which is Frederik Vesti. I feel like Fred should be pushed equally like Mick does. No hate or anything but the team b&w photoshoots for example. I'm pretty sure at that moment, they are aware already of Fred becoming the new reserve driver but my question stands in "why is he not participating in those stuff?" like photoshoots or content making. And this is not only social media team's work but also PR team.

I feel like Fred should be included equally. Photoshoots, interviews, contents or whatever it is. I feel like now that they have two reserve drivers, they should work on equally treating them. I am perfectly aware that they are working on Fred slowly and consistently (hope that continues) but I do hope Fred got the chance to participate more in the future. And that would not just be advantageous for Fred but also for Mercedes because more people=more fame 🤣🤣.

And for the juniors part, I do see Doriane and Kimi getting more push in 2024 from the team as a junior. A part of me wished that last year, Paul and Fred got the same treatment. For their wins, for their points and involvement in content. Although those things are in the past, I hope what they are doing now with Kimi and Doriane could be improved and could be more consistently and equally applied to all their juniors. They should give some spotlight to Alex Powell too tbh. He did a great job at F4 UAE this year, scoring several podiums and wins. I hope they do improve in terms of equalization 😁.

3. Internal Dynamics of the Team

I think we all joked a lot about "oohh the grussell hater admin is at work today" or "oohh the gr63 lovers admin logged on today" and while it can be funny and stuff. If seen from a professional standpoint, it is very unprofessional.

"Why Ari? Are you sure it isn't just you overreacting?" No. Nope. These things aren't supposed to show. Internal dynamics aren't supposed to be readable the public. When it comes to this point where the public can know "who" is logging on, can get a grasp on the 'split' of the internal team dynamics, these all screams unprofessionalism. You are not supposed to know these things as a fan nor you are not supposed to let the fans/public know about these things if you're the employee. For these things to show blatantly means there is a lack of synchronization amongst the team and unprofessionalism.

Social media is about bragging. It's about building and retaining personal branding, promoting yourself, telling yourself and gaining attention. And that's what a corporate social media does too except it wasn't for themselves but for the brand and the company. As a social media admin for a company, you should not be known as admin 1 or admin 2 or admin 3. Because in doing your work, you are under ONE ENTITY to represent the company. One social media account means one entity no matter how much admins there are. And to be able to do so, they need synchronizing with one another. This is done so their actions remains equal. The equal actions reflects on professionalism and integrity.

To let an internal dynamic seep through how a social media account is working is kinda unprofessional especially when you can tell the admins' preference. That should not happen because it's a TEAM man.. a TEAM's social media account that's not supposed to show. Preferences, bias and stuffs 😭. BIG NO. They honestly need a fix on how they manage those stuffs so it doesn't seep to the general public knowledge. Being nosy to a company's dynamic is one thing but letting the public be aware of your company's dynamic is ANOTHER.

No one wants their company name stained because if you flop, they flop, well except if they did shitty things like RBR's TP but these internal dynamics such as who likes who or who sides with who, shouldn't be seen by the public. It should be kept under the sheets and be dealt with inside. For them to be noticed is a problem with unprofessionalism. I do hope they can synchronize more regarding these things, put up some T&C, be more strict, and improve this part.

4. Content planning

First of all, I am perfectly aware that this is a very subjective topic. My opinion can differ than yours and i am aware that how a team plan it's contents differs from other teams. I will not criticize nor scrutiny but I will just give my insight on what i found wrong and what they could do better (from my opinion of course).

Mercedes' content planning in 2024 have improved significantly than last year. They have been more consistent in terms of pushing George and doing their contents. But of course, a part of this wouldn't happen if it weren't for Feb 1 😀. There are several problems within how they work on their content planning (in my opinion) last year and I'm going to point out on it. And this is exhibit 1

Exhibit 1: Repetitive use of content materials

The George double is a funny cute one if you look at it for the first three videos. And honestly for contents like this? Three is the maximum. But they do EIGHT. EIGHT CONTENTS. And that is just over usage. That is just too much. You are feeding the general public the same contents 8x. They will get the ick. Besides, as time goes on, the contents are no longer funny and looks like it was forced. It lacked the original creativity when they first made it and as their objective has differed now that they had to 'milk it out' several times. Their first objective might just be "oh creative content" but afterwards it's just "how to milk more from this" and that's where a content loses its fun.

I understand that some people might find these enjoyable to a certain extent but the amount of similar contents Mercedes came to do in the end? Too much. And it also gets affected by how they post the content irregularly. It would've been a delivery if the content were to be made weekly or it became some kind of series. That would be more entertaining honestly instead of just dumping the same contents again and again all at once. People get bored so fast and if you just dump all of the same ones at once, it's like eating 30 of the same croissant at the same time. You get sick of it 🤣

Exhibit 2: The Unequal Portrayal of George Russell

I think I don't need pictures for this. But we all know how "George meme" or "meme guy" has been a thing for George. In a sense, I do acknowledge how it has been a good material for damage control (judging by how fast his image recovers post SIN23), to boost marketability/popularity, and to gain a solid base to attract new fans or the general public.

But it all went wrong when Mercedes milked too much out of this and portrayed George unequally compared to his teammates and even, his own TP who shouldn't even get that much spotlight. At this stage, it could be detrimental to his image and career as a public figure and a team's representative to the sponsors.

Mercedes' brand image for years now has always been the big guy brand. They don't do transitions and it has always been constant. So therefore, they attract big guy brands too like IWC, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Marriott Bonvoy, etc. They don't have McLaren-esque google or lego sponsors. And I understand that the approach with George memes were also probably an effort to reach the general audiences and branch out but it gets too much.

"Where did it get detrimental?" When it's overused and when he is portrayed as only the meme guy and not others. LH gets portrayed with his success and serious contents. Toto Wolff got a birthday edit, a proper one at it and is portrayed as a successful alpha man that brings his team to its peak (he didn't). All this while George can't have his 100th Grand Prix poster edited well. The moment they put an effort on him last year was if it's his meme. It is honestly DAMAGING for him. Because it might lead or have already led people to view him in a two dimensional way. Just George the meme guy not George the driver. And this part honestly contributes a bit as to why his crash in AUS23 is used as a joke and is laughed upon. Why? Because his team has been so comfortable, so supportive, and encouraging of people making jokes about George that people lessen George to just a mere JOKE when he is not. This is honestly damaging and sad. His TP is built with a better image by the social media/PR team last year. While George has the most effort put on him when it comes to his memes.

Then again, not only to fans, this could also be damaging to his image in front of sponsors. I've said earlier about how Merc sponsors are big guy sponsors. They are serious brands. They don't just recruit George as ambassadors just because George is a driver for the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team. 'How do you know Ari?' Look at Monster Energy and George. They don't fit. That's why they never did campaigns together and that's why they left and only decided to maintain a collaboration with Lewis. Puma, Tommy, Mercedes Benz and IWC collaborated with George because they viewed him as someone fitting to represent their brand. But what happened if George's image changed because of how his team has been portraying him and encouraging such acts? They could've dropped him. We've seen actors, idols and artists in real life getting their career wrecked after an overexaggerating wrong portrayal that changed their image. That could've happened.

"Ari, don't be too hard on them" I don't curse on them chill.. I am perfectly aware that this is not their sole decision maybe and I am perfectly aware of how this helps George too. But in a way, some of their moves are just wrong and could be damaging to George's career. And it is actually crazy to think that they still do such George's double and memes content up until Feb 1. If Feb 1 were to not happen, it could continue until now. There is no denying that part of the reason why the admins have been taking George seriously is because of what happens on Feb 1 and that is just so WRONG. There are tons of other approaches that you can use to milk out popularity/reach/marketability from these things without an overexaggeration, over usage, and not setting the limits to how the public views their driver. A team's PR and social media is also heavily responsible for the image building of their talent because the image their talent built reflects to the sponsors they retain and attract.

These all could be small, funny, unserious things but there are people whose career changed because of those small, funny, and unserious things.

Lastly, I give the biggest kudos to the people in the social media and PR team who have been doing their work well for George. And i am so proud to see their overall improvement. I hope to see that continues consistently. Not only for George but for Fred, Kimi, Doriane, Alex Powell, and whoever George's teammate is in the future. I hope they don't re-do their mistakes and continue to work their best. Don't forget to appreciate these guys regardless of the team's result. They are the front to the public's perception and feedback. It must've been hard for them too. But if they do something wrong, you can correct them in the right, proper and polite way without bashing them.

This whole thing is my opinion and insight to what I see wrong and what they can improve. Feel free to agree to disagree. Feel free to talk in my asks if there are other things I miss or if you wanna share your opinion.

Kanroji Temple: A lesser-known KnY Holy Site... which is a holy site anyway

There are actually a few Kanroji Temples throughout Japan, but one very small one in Wakayama Prefecture embraces the namesake in some subtle ways. The platform-only train station which shares the name also got in on the fun with green and pink "love" banners with cherry blossom and cat motifs. Although there is not as much to see there now as there was in 2020 during a short promotion they did, there's still a few cute vestiges.

To borrow a previous analysis of Mitsuri's name: 甘露寺: "甘露 Kanro" is "Sweetness" (in Japanese Buddhism, this is considered a virtue, perhaps you could think of it more like a heavenly sweetness than a gluttonous one) and "寺 ji" ((Buddhist) Temple). Rather than looking at this and thinking "wow, her family is so Buddhist" you could look at it and think "wow, they're probably pretty well-off." It's a wide generalization, but surnames which are also temple names imply that the family was long a (presumably wealthy) patron of the temple, and it carries a high class ring to it.

Besides the name, there are another couple reasons this is such a nice little Mitsuri related spot.

This temple was already known as a bit of a matchmaking spot, because there is a conifer on the premises with leaves that, once they are dried, don't break if you try to pull them apart. In addition, there are little protective "inome" (boar's eye/snout) marks around the roof, which people nowadays look at as upside-down hearts. There was also some romantic episode between the couple who started the Kamakura shogunate here, Minamoto no Yoritomo and Hojo Masako, but Mitsuri and Masako have very different personalities so I'll leave that there.

I did not realize this until I was on my way, but you know Tama, the station master cat? And Nitama, the successor? Kishi Station is the very next train stop. Mitsuri would be thrilled! I was also thrilled to encounter a celebrity, which was not at all on my itinerary for the day. Even got to ride the Tama train.

It seems that during the Mugen Train hype of 2020, the temple had as many as 200 visitors in a single busy day, when they were displaying a wider banner with the temple's name and a pretty green and pink background. There were signs that cosplayers could hold in front of it, as well as a "love pillar" temporarily installed in the little courtyard. Cosplaying in public isn't welcome in many areas of Japan, so this feels a bit like the equivalent of Christian churches having welcomed Pokemon Go players after they became gyms. This temple does, after all, function first and foremost as a religious institution, specifically for the Jodo sect of Pure Land Buddhism. Still, they are flexible and open-minded with it. Back in 2020 they had Rengoku's words about how growing old and weak being what makes humanity precious written as words of wisdom on the post outside the temple where words of Buddhist-style wisdom are typically posted. Nowadays, although there are also signs saying that the inside is off-limits to anyone not there to worship, there was also a sign saying, "Come, everyone, let us go and pray... (Himejima Gyoumei??)" I love that nod, because Himejima's repetition of the nembutsu (Namu Amida Butsu) is stressed in the Jodo sect.

Speaking of! Besides o-mamori (protective amulets), it is very common for shrines and temples to have go-shuin, a stamp or handwritten seal, in exchange for a modest fee (more technically, a donation). Many pilgrims (or tourists, that's fine) collect these directly in fancy books, but you can also just take the paper home to put in a book later. Although Kanroji Temple had their own version of these before their unexpected namesake popularity, they now have a second version on green and pink paper. It is the nembutsu written in a "rikenmyogo" calligraphy style. That is, "sword style" calligraphy.

While the "demon slayers use swords!" association is clearly there, and in their explanation they make a lot of clever use of the 滅 (eliminate) character so prominent in the KnY world, the sword is in regard to how when Buddhist figures are depicted holding swords, this is not so much to slay the enemies of Buddhist teachings, but to sharpen oneself and cut away ones' evils, faults, and worldly attachments--the sources of worldly suffering.

That said, no one is making the fans get rid of their attachment to a hit manga/anime, and there are still a few signs to hold in "I was here" photos.

The train station, which is surrounded by cherry trees and had a tiny heart graffiti etched into the sign, still has their "love" banners up, as well as a clearly inspired illustration of an anime girl reminding people to show their train passes clearly to the conductor when disembarking (because there are no gates on this train station platform).

So if you ever find yourself a couple hours away from Osaka on your way to visit Nitama the celebrity station master, just remember you can make another nearby stop in honor of the Love Pillar. If you don't have the luck of riding the Tama train, you might get to ride a strawberry train too.

I love your meta so much! Was curious if you had any hcs about what Griffith and Guts’ romantic relationship would be like? Like love languages, ways they’d enjoy spending time together/things they enjoy talking about, whether the Band of the Hawk would be in the know, if you could see them going on dates….anything, really!

Thank you!

Hm it's hard for me to answer questions like this lol because I'm not very creative and most of my headcanons are pretty flexible depending on the context. It's actually really hard for me to think of like, things they'd casually talk about eg lol, it's one of the main reasons I don't write much fic.

That said I like to imagine that they'd be an open secret among the Hawks, plausible deniability but lots of rumours and their closer friends know. They'd think they're subtler than they are, but they're not obvious enough for people who don't know them well to guess anything.

I don't think they'd really go on planned dates in canon, but I think they'd like to spend time together whenever they can. They'd probably enjoy sparring as a couples activity lol. I've imagined scenes where like, Griffith reads to Guts while they're in bed in Griffith's room, or the two of them just wandering around Midland together like in this official art:

Or when Griffith's a king, seeking Guts out just to relax in his company and unwind and just like, chill together in a low-stress way. Also I think Guts would be into helping Griffith brush/wash his hair, Guts seems to have a thing for Griffith's hair.

I'm not super into love languages as a thing irl, but it's an easy way to conceptualize characters/ships so for Guts and Griffith I think both have quality time and words of affirmation as their main priorities. They both desperately want to be loved and accepted for who they are rather than what they can be/do, so every reminder that they just genuinely like each other as people is important to them imo.

I have a list of griffguts related headcanons here if you want to check it out for more thoughts on their romantic relationship! And I have a tag here that probably has some more thoughts on them as individuals and together. Oh and my griffguts tag has both analysis and headcanon stuff.

Thanks for the ask!

Hi, Teach!! How have you been?? I have a request, if you don't mind!!

I was wondering if I could request some Izuku, Katsuki, Ochako, and Toga w a gender neutral s/o who is essentially the human equivalent to a cat. I'm talking, can sleep whenever, wherever, and in whatever position, is extremely flexible & nimble, but their also like those cats in those videos who chase off intruders, or protect the family from danger??

I thought it'd be a cute idea to see you write about!! Hope you have a good day/night, and if your requests are closed feel free to skip :)

Hi Jay! I'm doing well, a bit swamped with work, but all in all no complaints 🥰 I hope you're doing wonderful!

I'm so sorry for taking too long to finish your request (more than two weeks I think 🥺) but here it is and I hope it's worth the wait!

My kitty

Characters : Bakugo/ Toga/ Izuku/ Ochaco/ Gender neutral reader

Genre : Fluff/ Suggestive themes/ Headcanons

Notes : Cats' characteristics to be referred to: Unusual sleeping positions/ Dominance and possessiveness/ Flexibility/ Heat cycles

Please do not read if you're a minor

Masterlist|Second Masterlist

Katsuki :

He pretends to be annoyed with your weird sleeping habits since you manage to get yourself into the weirdest places and positions imaginable, but in reality he enjoys them more than he's willing to admit, to the point where he would secretly take pictures of you while asleep and stores them in a private folder on his phone before carrying you back to bed.

There is something that you both have in common which is possessiveness over one another, extreme possessiveness might I add. It's not unusual for either one of you to scare off someone who's trying to get closer to the other, and Katsuki likes this side of you too much that he would purposely provoke it sometimes by ignoring the annoyed looks you give him whenever someone decides to get a bit too close to him, just so he could enjoy your clinginess.

You're extremely flexible and agile, which makes you his perfect opponent, and working out together usually leads to a competition since neither of you likes admitting defeat.

Your sex life is fun and healthy -even during your heat cycles when things get intense- Katsuki takes care of your every need, since he has enough stamina to keep up with you. He would never tell you that he keeps your heat cycles' dates marked in his calendar as he counts the days to your next one.

Toga :

She finds your sleeping habits extremely adorable, which is why she makes sure not to fall asleep until you do, just so she could find out what kind of position you've picked that night. And if by any chance you end up slumbering in a strange place that isn't your bed or couch, then Himiko would still curl up next to you until morning.

You have a bond that goes beyond mere infatuation, a bond that ties your souls together and leaves no place for anyone else to step in between, because when that happens, your savage side comes to life as you chase away any intruder, in which case violence is your first option. She belong to you and only you.

She's your biggest fan, and seeing her mesmerized gaze as you move gracefully during your missions makes you want to flaunt your flexibility even more, just so you could see that cute blush and bright smile of hers.

Your heat cycles used to be incredibly stressful before you two became a couple. You're extremely needy and intense, and none of your previous partners could keep up with you, that is until she became a part of your life, as you have finally met your match.

Izuku :

He is simply amazed by you, and it shows in the way his eyes sparkle each time you appear before him. One of the things that intrigue him is your sleeping habits and especially the unthinkable positions you find yourself in every night. His notebook is full of sketches of you in some of said positions, and each of them is labeled with his personal analysis. It's not unusual for him to carry you back to bed if you end up passed out on the floor.

He can be oblivious to people's advances to him, which never fails to bother and drives you to assert your dominance. No matter who the other person in question is, you always make sure they learn that Izuku is yours, whether it be by randomly kissing him in front them, or hugging him while glaring at the intruder, it always works.

He has asked you -even before you two became a couple- if it was alright to study your quirk since he finds your agility captivating, and that's how you two started training together every day after work. He has helped you develop your abilities so much since he understands your quirk as much as you do.

He's a gentle lover, even during your heat cycles when you get extremely aroused and demanding for days on end and don't mind seeing his rougher side. He has learned through observation and practice the things that stimulate and satisfy your body and uses them to pleasure you.

Ochaco :

She never really understood your sleeping habits, in fact, the only thing she feels when seeing you sound asleep is intense worry, since you're able to slumber anywhere that has a flat surface. She's afraid you might hurt yourself one way or another especially when you decide to adopt a particularly complex position for the night, and no matter how many times you reassure her, she still can't help it.

Your girlfriend is beautiful, strong and talented, which makes her the center of everyone's attention, and you don't mind seeing her get the appreciation she deserves, but you always make sure to stick to her side whenever someone approaches, placing an arm around her waist or shoulder, just to let the other person know that she's taken.

The best part of your day is after work training, when you get to see her bright smile and cute little jumps as she cheers you on while you smugly show off your incredible flexibility and nimbleness, you take pride in knowing that she is your biggest fan, and you never fail to remind her that you are hers as well.

Your intimate times are usually sweet and tender, however, there are those days when your hormones take over and everything changes drastically. Needless to say that poor Ochaco ends up suffering the most, but you always make it up to her with an amazing aftercare that takes away any fatigue she might be left with.

I was wondering if you could do an analysis on the difference between Mike’s and prowler miles (I’m hoping that makes sense)??

I wasn’t sure which one you wanted so I went over their differences in characterization and their differences physically and in their different universes!

how they’d act emotionally (mainly headcanons):

Miles-1610:

Love language is definitely quality time

He spends as much time as he can with his family

To the point where his parents get concerned if he goes a couple hours without talking to them

Very emotionally intelligent

definitely an empath

he can feel how other people feel and understands how to cheer them up

kind of like how he could tell something was up with Gwen when she visited

Lots of self-control - not impulsive at all

Flexible to change and can adapt to new circumstances really easily

Finds motivation easily

Gets stressed easily because he tends to put a lot on his plate

Miles-42

definitely went through a period of depression

love language is probably words of affirmation

cuz he doesn't have a father figure anymore (except for Aaron but he doesn't really count)

so hes probably always looking for praise and would do anything if it meant someone would tell him they were proud of him

definitely lashes out

very impulsive, can't control his words sometimes

can lead to him being very harsh or condescending without realizing it

he's a genius so he probably has a high IQ

and high IQ often means having lower emotional intelligence

so I dont think he'd be as much of an empath as 1610-miles

probably has anxiety attacks

nightmares and sleep paralysis are common for him

not energetic at all but can find motivation easily

the differences in looks:

So you can't tell it this much in this picture, but Miles-42 has much sharper lines across his face than Miles-1610

His face is also slightly more narrow, and more "adult-like"

He has more forehead wrinkles and his eyes aren't as wide as Miles-1610's, which I believe signifies how Miles-1610 is a much more "innocent" guy, with a more "child-like" look onto the world while Miles-42 would have gone through a lot more and wouldn't have the same outlook.

In this picture especially, you can tell that he looks a lot more tired, with a more angular face and much sharper wrinkles than Miles-1610.

I believe its a result of stress and anxiety, probably even depression, and that impacts the way he looks compared to Miles-1610 who, although he's experienced anxiety, wouldn't have felt it on the same level as Miles-42.

It could also be that since Rio-42 and Miles-42 are canonically struggling with money, he doesn't eat as much, and is therefore skinnier.

the differences in universes

so this is a lot more obvious

but earth-42 is literally on fire

you can see it in the background in this scene

You can also see the names of the Sinister-Six villains in the background

So earth-42 is run by villains, because there's no Spider-man to protect them. Since the Prowler is canonically a vigilante in Earth-42, we can assume that Miles-42 fights against the Sinister Six in order to protect New York.

But they do control most of it, and are probably all some type of businessmen or own a large part of the city, considering the fact that that their names are written on billboards and building in the background.

Also, the color schemes of the universes' are very different.

Earth-1610 tends to be red, blue, pink and yellow, all very vibrant colors. The red and blue are Spider-man colors as well. It makes the universe pop out, and the sketchbook animation style makes it seem even more lively.

Earth-42 is green, purple and black, all Prowler colors. They signify how dark it is compared to Earth-1610 and just how problematic it is for a universe to not have a Spider-man.

Hopefully this answered your ask properly, if not pls let me know anon! <3

Conclusion

Seismic engineering design plays a crucial role in piping stress analysis within industrial facilities, especially in regions prone to earthquakes. Piping stress analysis involves evaluating the forces and stresses that piping systems experience during various operational conditions, including seismic events.

Here's how seismic engineering design is important for piping stress analysis:

Safety and Structural Integrity: Seismic engineering design ensures that the entire facility, including piping systems, is built to withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. The structural integrity of piping systems is paramount for preventing leaks, ruptures, or catastrophic failures during seismic events. Piping stress analysis assesses the impact of seismic forces on the pipes, supports, and attachments to verify that they can withstand the dynamic loads and deformations caused by earthquakes.

Compliance with Building Codes: Piping systems within industrial facilities must adhere to building codes and standards related to earthquake-resistant design. Seismic engineering design ensures that piping systems are compliant with these codes. Non-compliance can lead to costly retrofitting efforts or, in the worst-case scenario, dangerous failures during an earthquake.

Identifying Vulnerabilities: Seismic engineering design involves conducting a seismic risk assessment for the facility. This assessment helps identify vulnerabilities in the piping systems, such as weak points in support structures or connections that may be prone to failure during seismic events. Piping stress analysis considers these vulnerabilities and recommends improvements to enhance seismic resilience.

Optimal Pipe Routing and Support: Piping stress analysis incorporates considerations for seismic forces when determining the routing of pipes and the design of pipe supports. Proper pipe routing and support are essential to prevent excessive stresses, vibrations, and displacements during an earthquake. Seismic engineering design helps optimize these factors to minimize potential damage to the piping systems.

Dynamic Load Analysis: Seismic events introduce dynamic loads on piping systems, which are significantly different from static loads. Piping stress analysis uses dynamic load analysis techniques to simulate the effects of seismic forces on pipes, fittings, and supports. This analysis ensures that the piping systems can handle the dynamic loads without exceeding their stress limits.

Retrofitting and Modifications: In existing facilities, seismic engineering design may involve retrofitting or modifying piping systems to meet current seismic standards. Piping stress analysis helps identify areas that require reinforcement, redesign, or additional support. Retrofitting ensures that older facilities can withstand seismic events and meet modern safety requirements.

Mitigation Strategies: Seismic engineering design doesn't only focus on evaluating existing conditions but also includes the development of mitigation strategies. These strategies may involve the use of seismic expansion joints, dampers, or flexible connectors to absorb seismic energy and reduce stress on the piping systems.

Emergency Response Planning: In the event of a seismic event, having a well-designed piping system is crucial for quick recovery and minimizing damage. Seismic engineering design contributes to emergency response planning by ensuring that piping systems are less likely to rupture or leak during an earthquake, reducing potential hazards and environmental damage.

In summary, seismic engineering design is vital for piping stress analysis because it ensures the safety, compliance, and resilience of piping systems in the face of seismic events. It helps identify vulnerabilities, optimize designs, and implement mitigation measures, ultimately safeguarding industrial facilities and the surrounding environment during earthquakes.

How to Create an Effective MCAT Study Schedule

Preparing for the MCAT exam can be a challenging task. With its challenging content and the pressure to perform well, it's crucial to have a solid study plan. An effective study schedule can help you manage your time, reduce stress, and ensure that you're fully prepared for test day. In this blog, we'll guide you through the process of creating an MCAT study schedule that works for you. Whether you're studying on your own or with the help of overseas education consultants, these tips will set you on the right path.

Step 1: Assess Your Starting Point

Before you create your study schedule, it's important to understand your current level of knowledge. Take a diagnostic MCAT exam to identify your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you determine how much time you need to spend on each section of the exam.

Tip: Be honest with yourself about your weaknesses. If you're struggling with a particular subject, allocate more time to study that area.

Step 2: Set a Realistic Timeline

Decide how much time you have before your MCAT exam and how many hours you can dedicate to studying each week. Ideally, you should start your preparation at least three to six months before the exam. This gives you enough time to cover all the material without feeling rushed.

Tip: If you're working or attending school full-time, be realistic about how many hours you can study each day. It's better to study consistently for a few hours than to cram at the last minute.

Step 3: Break Down the Content

The MCAT exam covers a wide range of subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and critical analysis. Break down the content into smaller, manageable sections. For example, you might focus on one subject each week or dedicate certain days to specific topics.

Tip: Use a study guide or syllabus to help you organize the material. Make sure you cover all the key concepts that will be tested on the exam.

Step 4: Create a Weekly Schedule

Once you've broken down the content, create a weekly study schedule. Allocate specific times for each subject and stick to your plan as much as possible. Include breaks and time for review to ensure that the material stays fresh in your mind.

Sample Weekly Schedule:

Monday: Biology (2 hours), Practice Questions (1 hour)

Tuesday: Chemistry (2 hours), Review Notes (1 hour)

Wednesday: Physics (2 hours), Practice Exam (1 hour)

Thursday: Psychology (2 hours), Review Mistakes (1 hour)

Friday: Critical Analysis (2 hours), Restudy Weak Areas (1 hour)

Saturday: Full-Length Practice Exam (4 hours), Review Answers (2 hours)

Sunday: Rest or light review

Tip: Adjust your schedule based on your progress. If you find that you're struggling with a particular topic, spend more time on it.

Step 5: Incorporate Practice Tests

Practice tests are an essential part of MCAT exam preparation. They help you get used to the format of the exam, improve your time management skills, and identify areas where you need further study. Schedule regular practice tests throughout your study plan and review your answers carefully.

Tip: Simulate test conditions by taking practice exams in a quiet environment and timing yourself. This will help you get comfortable with the pressure of the real exam.

Step 6: Stay Flexible and Adjust as Needed

It's important to stay flexible and adjust your study schedule as needed. If you find that you're ahead of schedule, use the extra time for more practice tests or review. If you're falling behind, consider cutting back on less important activities or seeking help from an overseas education consultant.

Tip: Don't be afraid to change your plan if something isn't working. The goal is to create a study schedule that works for you, not to stick rigidly to a plan that isn't effective.

Conclusion

Creating an effective MCAT study schedule is key to your success on the exam. By assessing your starting point, setting a realistic timeline, breaking down the content, and incorporating regular practice tests, you'll be well-prepared for test day. Whether you're studying on your own or with the help of overseas education consultants, a well-organized study plan will help you achieve your goals and perform your best on the MCAT exam.

Small Party Catering NYC: Steps To Plan Perfect Food For The Event

Planning the food for a small party can be both exciting and daunting. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner for friends or a small business gathering, getting the food right is crucial to the success of your event. In a bustling city like New York, where culinary options are as diverse as its population, small party catering NYC service can help you elevate your event and take the stress out of meal planning. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure your event’s food is as unforgettable as the occasion itself.

Define Your Event’s Theme and Audience

To begin with the analysis of your menu, it is crucial to determine its theme and the people it is intended for. Is it a black-tie affair or a barbecue? Knowing the tone of the occasion will help you to determine what sort of meal to prepare and how to plate them.

Formal Dinner: When considering food and beverage choices for the event, select appetizers, meals, and sweets that are appropriate for the formal setting. What about gourmet dishes and traditional recipes?

Casual Gathering: Septic conditions of the ambiance are easier to consume for individuals and require simple food and dishes. Appetizers such as those that can be held with the fingers include fingers, small hamburgers, and dips that can be taken in small portions.

Themed Party: If your event adopts a certain theme like Italian or Mexican, then ensure that this is reflected in the kind of foods you have in your event. Food related to the theme of the event enhances the entire experience and also can create a good topic for discussion.

Establish Your Budget

The act of setting a budget is a crucial factor in the planning process of any event, not just food. This will in turn affect the quality and quantity of food to be bought as well as the small party catering NYC service to be hired.

Food and Beverage: This is charged per head and any extra charges that might be put on certain products.

Service: Depending on the kind of catering service you hire, there is the hiring of wait staff or bartenders which will be charged.

Equipment and Rentals: If you want to get more tables or chairs and dishes for serving then all of these should also be considered.

A realistic budget makes you avoid cases of overspending or straining to attain the quality of the materials or services you need.

Choose the Right Catering Service

There is no shortage of small-party catering services in New York City, but choosing the right service provider may be a challenge. Search for a service provider that focuses on the provision of services for small-scale occasions and has customized options. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Experience: Choose those companies, which have experience in serving people in small parties and gatherings.

Menu Flexibility: Make sure the specific products offered may be changed to fit the specifics of your event and your guests’ requirements.

Reviews and References: Look at the rating of the restaurant and requests from the clients for their experience.

A good and professional catering company will sit with the client and help to select the right menu for the event within the set budget.

Plan a Balanced Menu

A diverse clientele means that a restaurant needs to be able to offer a balanced and variety of meals that at least some of them would fit one’s diet preferences. When planning your menu, consider the following: 

Appetizers: For appetizers, offering an assortment of foods that any visitor seeks is recommended. Incorporate vegetarian and gluten-free meals in case not all the guests will be able to take some meals.

Main Courses: Make sure to present a variety of main courses recommended for various types of diets. They should comprise barbeque meats, poultry, fish, and veggies.

Side Dishes: Accompany your principal dishes with a variety of side dishes. Something light and fresh that goes well with the meat is preferred by many guests, so fresh salads and baked vegetables will fit the bill, as would potatoes or rice.

Desserts: Desserts are the last course, which means that there is no other way but to pamper your guests with delicious sweets. Added to this, if the reception will be in the evening, you may want to consider mini pastries, some kind of cake, or a dessert table.

Be sure to offer some lighter items alongside heavier ones so that customers can find a good balance if they wish. This means that the guest is able to have a variety of different foods to choose from ensuring a wholesome dining experience.

How to Choose the Best Running Shoes: A Step-by-Step Guide

Picking the best running shoes is key to better performance, comfort, and avoiding injuries. With so many options available, finding the right shoes can be overwhelming. Good running shoes can be the deciding factor between completing a run or giving up. Finding the right pair for your feet and goals may require some trial and error, but the benefits are worth it: you’ll have shoes that provide the foundation for a comfortable, rewarding, and lasting running experience, whether you’re running for your health or aiming for personal bests.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of choosing the best running shoes tailored to your needs, ensuring you make an informed decision that enhances your running experience.

Step 1: Understand Your Foot Type

Before you start shopping for running shoes, it's essential to understand your foot type. There are three main foot types: neutral, overpronated, and underpronated (supinated).

Neutral Foot:Your foot has an even distribution of weight and doesn’t excessively roll inward or outward.

Overpronated Foot: Your foot rolls inward excessively, which can lead to instability and injuries.

Underpronated Foot: Your foot rolls outward, placing extra stress on the outer edges.

You can determine your foot type by examining your footprint after stepping on a wet surface or by visiting a podiatrist or running store that offers gait analysis.

Step 2: Determine Your Running Style

Your running style also influences the type of shoe you need. There are several running styles, including:

Road Running:For running on hard, paved surfaces like roads and sidewalks. Picking the right running shoes is key to better performance, comfort, and avoiding injuries.

Trail Running: For uneven and rugged terrain. Choose shoes with good traction, stability, and durability.

Track Running:For running on a track, where speed and agility are key. Opt for lightweight, responsive shoes.

Long-Distance Running: For extended runs, prioritize shoes with maximum cushioning and support for comfort over long periods.

Understanding your running style will help narrow down the options and find a shoe that meets your specific needs.

Step 3: Assess Cushioning and Support Needs

Different running shoes provide different amounts of cushioning and support. Here's what to look for.

Cushioning: Shoes come with different types of cushioning, such as foam, gel, or air. Cushioning helps absorb shock and impacts, reducing stress on your joints.

Support: Depending on your foot type and running style, you might need additional support. Stability shoes offer extra support for overpronators, while neutral shoes are designed for those with balanced foot mechanics.

Evaluate how much cushioning and support you need based on your foot type, running style, and personal preference. For instance, long-distance runners might prefer maximum cushioning for comfort, while sprinters may opt for minimal cushioning for speed and agility.

Step 4: Find the Right Fit

Consider these factors when trying on running shoes:

Size:Ensure there’s about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This prevents your toes from hitting the front of the shoe during runs.

Width: The shoe should fit snugly around the midfoot but provide enough room in the toe box. Different brands offer various width options, so choose one that fits your foot shape.

Try on shoes later in the day when your feet are more swollen to ensure a comfortable fit during your runs.

Step 5: Test the Shoes

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, take the shoes for a test run. Many running stores offer treadmills or allow you to jog around the store. Pay attention to:

Comfort: Assess how the shoe feels during movement. It should provide a comfortable, snug fit without any hotspots or pressure points.

Flexibility: The shoe should flex naturally with your foot's movement. Check for a smooth transition from heel to toe.

Performance:Evaluate how the shoe performs in terms of cushioning, support, and stability.

Step 6: Consider Durability and Quality

Running shoes are an investment, so consider the durability and quality of the materials used. Check for features like reinforced toe caps and sturdy outsoles that ensure longevity.

Step 7: Set a Budget

Running shoes come in a range of prices. While higher-priced shoes often offer advanced features, there are also budget-friendly options that provide excellent performance and comfort.

Step 8: Read Reviews and Seek Recommendations

Before making a final decision, read reviews and seek recommendations from fellow runners or experts. Online reviews can provide insights into the shoe’s performance, comfort, and durability. Additionally, consulting with a knowledgeable salesperson at a specialty running store can offer valuable advice based on your specific requirements.

Conclusion

Choosing the best running shoes involves understanding your foot type, running style, and personal preferences. By following these steps assessing your needs, finding the right fit, testing the shoes, and considering durability you can make an informed decision and find the perfect pair, like those from Groundz, that enhances your running experience. Investing time in selecting the right running shoes will not only improve your performance but also contribute to a more enjoyable and injury-free running journey.
