The downfalls of bandaids (or adhesives)

They tear the skin.

Protect Fragile Skin - Slow Aging

Our skin, a fantastic organ, serves as our body’s first line of defense against the outside world. Additionally, it shields us from harmful elements and plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. However, despite its resilience, our skin remains fragile and vulnerable to damage caused by external factors. Such as the sun’s harmful UV rays, pollution, and harsh…

You don’t understand. I have written about you — a dozen times. That funny little curl to your lip I used in a story six years ago; that way your face all changed just when you were going to laugh — I gave that characteristic to one of the first girls I ever wrote about; the way I stayed around trying to say good-night, knowing that you’d rush to the phone as soon as the front door closed behind me — all that was in a book that I wrote once upon a time.

"Canceled?"

"Yup," DeMarkus said, pulling his welding mask up to wipe sweat from his brow. "They're canning the whole line. Once we finish the current block and the 'mechs are on the way to Tharkad, they're retooling the factory."

"What a fuckin waste, man," Nguyen said. He stared up at the towering Thunder Hawk they were joining armor to. The jutting 'chin' of the cockpit loomed above their lift, which hung next to one of the vast cavities fit to recieve a gauss rifle. "They're good mechs, why stop building a product like this?"

"Who's gonna pay for them?" DeMarkus shrugged. "The rifles are expensive. The frame's expensive. The engine alone is worth more than a whole lance of hunchbacks. Now that the Star League's done there's no one left willing to pay for a machine like this, no matter how good it is."

"Even if Steiner goes through with declaring war on Marik?"

"Especially then. This's gonna be a Hunchie line in a month- the board have an idea of what sort of war this'll be, and it's going to need troops. Not whatever big command 'mech Kerensky wanted."

DeMarkus looked up at the broad chest of 'mech with Nguyen and rubbed his palms together before he went to drop his mask back down. "The only way anyone's ever gonna want to pay for one of these again is if the SLDF comes back to give us the contract."

Extremely self-indulgent and specific post incoming.

I have eczema, and it's been quite bad lately... so I love to imagine Dottore just comforting you through it. ❤️ You're all too familiar with nothing working for you, so when you get too demotivated to take care of your skin he would sit you down and rub the ointment he made for you on your body himself. He wouldn't twist his face at the dried blood, new and old marks, dark spots, or cracked and dry skin on your body at all. Especially the rough patches of skin that you're embarrassed of, because you think you're not pretty since it's not smooth and soft like everyone else's, he would pay extra attention to. Despite your skin being far from perfect, he still finds you the most attractive person in all of Teyvat, and he and his segments make sure you know that, with physical means of course. They're not good with words. When you have an outfit you don't want to wear since you don't think you could pull it off with your cracking skin or body, he'll force you to try it on in front of him and keep his eyes on you silently the whole time despite the fact you're probably burning from embarrassment. And then he'll pick you up and place you on his lap for further careful examination, to show you how lovely he thinks you look. <3

Of course, he would kill anyone who dared to say anything negative or look at you in the wrong way. Dottore would physically restrain your hands and not let go of them the second he sees your hand reaching to itch that same spot again. The segments make sure your nails are trimmed and short too, and keep a watchful eye on you so you don't pick at your skin. They all still like to bite you, so you can focus on their little bite marks instead of your scars all the time. Obviously, he keeps a dedicated journal to track if anything triggers your eczema and skin in particular. And he would so help you shower and bathe too, especially when the water is hurting your skin too much <3 No, you can't take those hot long showers!

This is kind of a strange post, I know, but I need to get it out of my system so I can reread it for comfort 🤭 Alright, silly little deluded Smooches moment over! *runs away*

My emo babygurl

[lifeofcynch]

vivziepop haters are so obsessed with her it’s concerning. i see right through you. every time she sees success with her projects and creations you come out of the woodworks with petty insults and gross misinformation. if you don’t like her or her art, you do you, but it’s pathetic that it’s 2024 and you’re still diminishing the work of a bisexual latina just because that work doesn’t fit your hypersanitized media tastes and because she, like literally every person on the internet including you and i, did and said stupid shit in her teenage years. it’s fucking exhausting to watch, please shut up and find something better to do with your time.

i don’t want to have discussions with y’all, you’re too toxic. i just needed to get this off my chest because it’s bothered me. just block me if you feel called out by what i described and you don’t care.

Unintentionally made my grandma laugh because she had a fall and bled a lot (she’s ok dw it was very shallow and I bandaged her n everything) and as I was scrubbing up the blood I went “man I could never be a serial killer this is way too much work”

I LOVE how the new season made Ciel finally look older and more mature. Ciel's Cloverworks design may be my favorite, I think he looks better than in the manga.

Like yeah I get that Ciel appearance is meant to be misleading; he is meant to look younger, fragile, innocent. But it always annoyed me how despite the fact that he is nearly 15 years old now he keeps de-aging. Instead, Cloverworks decision to give Ciel sharper features, even changing his droppy eyes for a far more serious and, well, sharp gaze that truly matches his smart and cunning personality is more fitting and showcases how much he has changed through the story. There is even a bit of Sebatian´s mockery and sassiness in his expressions.

How do you decide which plushie to cuddle with everyday? I try to change it up so everyone gets cuddles but I worry that some don’t get enough even with me just carrying around the few that live on my bed because they help my anxiety best

Most of the plush that get cuddles are part of the Bed Squad. I cuddle them depending on my mood honestly. I look at em and I know it's their turn. They've also gotta be a good hugging size, around 8 inches or larger. So plush like Lil Guy, Lil Vee, Cosmo, Wanda, and Squish don't get picked (not that they aren't loved on in some form tho. I'll usually cup them in my hands and hold them to my cheek for nuzzles). There are a few plush that are cuddled more than others, though, but the others don't get jealous.

Some plushies have the designated job of being a Cuddle Plush! They're the ones that I'll hold when I sleep or when I'm not feeling well. Plushies like Wawa the frog, and Chubbychu the pikachu, Binky, and The Baby. Cuddle Plush is it's own job, because with it the plushies have to deal with things like: getting dirty quicker than their regular plushie counterparts, getting tears or drool on them, risking flattening, discoloration, seams getting torn, etc.

Not every stuffed animal is up for the task of enduring such things. So they get less cuddles, but that makes the ones they get more special!

Fargo is a fantastic show and there’s been a lot of moments that have left me stunned, astonished, thrilled, chilled, absolutely blown-away, but bitch…………...I’m telling you…………..in 5 seasons, nothing has ever gotten me to a state of white-knuckled, gripping the chair, shock and awe…………………like that cover of Toxic……………

[tariah23]

Crying at the video of that dude going around asking poc and black folks if they could change their race, what would it be and every nb in that video we’re saying “white,” because of privilege with their whole chest, albeit, a little bit ashamed, while EVERY black person looked at the dude like he was crazy and was like “NO!? What the hell are you even talking about?” Like….. yeah, of course.

Also… Right
