#hydration checkpoint

[lordbeebrain]

ADHD sucks because it’s just going through life telling yourself “I know I could do great things, if only I…” but then not really being able to figure out how to finish the sentence, all while your life just ticks by in the background and you’re too timeblind to even notice it happening.

That’s honestly the most depressing way I’ve described ADHD ever tbh 😅🫠

I just hate the thought that when people hear “ADHD” they think of spacey/hyperactive or 🤪QUIRKY🤪 and not of the “I’m actually soul crushingly depressed because I feel like a literal biological mistake masquerading as a human FAILURE who cannot even remember to DRINK WATER.”

You should probably drink water if you’re seeing this, btw ❤️

CHECKPOINT!

Everyone who sees this must:

Hydrate/eat if you haven't in a while!

Take your meds if you have any!

Get up and stretch if possible! If not, close your eyes for a few seconds, or look at something far away

Check the time! Should should you be asleep? Getting ready to go somewhere?

And most importantly, say 3 good things about yourself! In the tags, or comments. Genuinely good things, ones that you like about yourself. No sarcasm. No backhanded compliments.

01/21/2024 Crew Recap

Well holy shit all.

We finally fucking did it! We hit 75,000 signatures! That's crazy! The next goal line is literally twice that, and I know it seems daunting but don't give up, the more we get the more we show how much people want OFMD picked back up! We don't have to make that goal to show how passionate we are, we already have!

I know it feels like we've been doing this forever (12 days can you believe it?) but the scuttlebutt around deck is that we are making waves, and it's good to keep up the engagements so studio execs can see just how much we care!

We've been kicking ass on the #AdoptOurCrew hashtag on twitter and other platforms

❗❗❗ Mommy Domme Checkpoint ❗❗❗

Mommy has noticed you've been scrolling for quite some time and you know that Mommy cares about all her pretty subs so be a good girl and do these for Mommy:

1. Make sure you stay hydrated. If you're not sure if you're thirsty then make sure you at least have a glass of water nearby for when you are, Mommy doesn't want you to get dehydrated.

2. If you're hungry, have something to eat. With so many cute subs, Mommy knows the dangers of eating when you're bored, so if you're here around when you'd eat make sure you do.

3. If you've been sat down for a while, stand up and stretch for Mommy, go for little walk around your space, and get your cute little self moving.

4. Take a look of what you've accomplished so far today. Mommy is so proud of you for being to able to set out and do something, no matter how small! Mommy knows how bad days can feel, so know Mommy is so proud!

If you've done all 4, then good job, Mommy is so proud of you! Now be a good girl and thank Mommy for stopping by and making sure you're okay and doing your best 💖💖💖

Hiking with Genshin Men HCs!

pairings: diluc x scaramouche x itto x kazuha x gn!reader (separate)

warnings: reader is a bit lethargic and not as energetic / strong as the characters 😞, other than that no warnings

a/n: I'm dying it's 6.39am and I'm going on an all day hike today wish me luck

genshin m.list

Diluc

this gentleman will hold your hand throughout the entire trail

going uphill on muddy and slippery terrain? His grip on your hand is even tighter than when you two started!

he prefers to be in front of you so he can check whether the ground is safe to walk on before you do

and because he's in front of you, he's constantly turning his head to check on you like the sweet caring man he is

he'll carry everything for you, you'll carry a small bag containing your essentials and bottle, but Diluc is carrying the most of it. He's carrying all the snacks, safety gears and any burden so you won't feel as tired

one of the best to be hiking with , reliable and trustworthy!

Scaramouche

always 10 steps ahead of you

he doesn't really wait up or want to but does look back at you because 'you're so slow'

he's constantly complaining how "humans are so incapable of just walking"

and yet he rushes back down the path to hold onto your arm if you slip on the mud even a little

but then he's back up 10 steps ahead again groaning about how impatient he is with you being slow as heck

overall, he despises hiking because , just how long will it take to get to the peak of the mountain especially with your slowness ?!

he says, yet he cares so deeply for your safety and health. he also makes sure you're well hydrated when resting at a checkpoint

but he also tells you not to drink too much as a mountain doesn't have any bathrooms lol

Itto

30 feet into the trail, he's already breathing heavily and holding onto your palm so you'll be forced to wait for him to catch his breath.

in the beginning he was energetic and excited to start running up the trail

but he was slapped in the face by his lungs trying to breathe at all

he would've boasted about how strong and athletic he is and that he could literally carry you all the way to the top but now he's eating his own words

finally, you reach a checkpoint and rest on a tree stump as a seat for a few minutes. he's already looking like he's about to pass out from his heavy eyes and head dropping onto your shoulder

Kazuha

everything with kaedehara kazuha is smooth sailing. he's a wanderer. he knows all about how to do things safely and properly

gives advice to you as you walk up muddy surfaces like, make sure you're always holding onto something to stabilize yourself, or watch your step and hold his hand,

he's overjoyed to even have you join him hiking because this is his turf. he'll only prepare things like sandwiches and bottled waters

he'll point out random yet fascinating things he observes on the trail with you, like that mushroom growing on a tree is actually edible or a pretty butterfly approaching you

in conclusion, he's the best to go on a hike with!

I'm seeing a few people in the notes saying that self care checkpoints are helpful to them, but this is just so bizarre to me. The idea that I would stop what I'm doing and go get a glass of water because some rando in shout chat or a babytalk author's note told me to is just utterly foreign.

My phone is chock full of alarms to remind me about pretty much every daily task, and I leave sticky notes all over my kitchen and bathroom for the same. But that's just not the same as having some stranger try to interupt what you're doing and tell you to take a piss.

--

Oh, I'm not surprised these things are sometimes helpful.

But for them to be helpful, you need to already be failing at setting up a system that will work in the long term. And that means you're failing 99% of the time because only the occasional note from strangers will hit at the right moment.

It's another "Let's all send warm socks to the disaster zone!"

[disgruntled-lifeform]

Tour-de-Fleece checkpoint!

Time to stop and stretch, your legs and ankles, your wrists and shoulders as well as your neck are all problem areas if over worked so treat them kindly and remember to take breaks.

Remember to hydrate and it's a marathon not a sprint!

Can I request a Mapi x reader where reader gets injured when the girls go camping/hiking in the middle of nowhere. Y/N getting worse by every minute and Mapi is scared, Alexia as their best friends tries to keep calm for the both of them but is also scared to lose her best friend (so are the other girls rolfo, ana and irene)

My first request! Loved this idea, feel free to send for any Barca player, also watch England so any of theirs! In this Alexia hasn't had the ACL injury TW: injury and reader deterioration

Happy Memories

On the final day of the pre-season camp in France, the club had organised a day out hiking in the mountains nearby, a team exercise supposedly to keep our team bond but left you looking like a group of scouts who can’t read a map. You, Mapi, Alexia, Frida, Ana and Irene set out almost an hour ago and you were basically in the middle of nowhere, you hadn’t had phone signal for a while and the path was becoming even more icy leading to a few near slips.

In hindsight it probably wasn’t the best idea put you, Alexia and Mapi together. The three of you were the best friend clique of the group, always pranking each other but the best of friends none the less. You knew you could go to them about everything and out of the three of you. You were definitely the caring one, always making sure they were hydrated and having spares for everything they might need on an away day. You’d been at the club for the same time as Mapi and you could no longer imagine a life without them.

But if you asked anyone, the relationship between you and Mapi was much more than a friendship. Mapi was the first one to make the move, a cliché story of two people quarantining together who could no longer ignore the feelings they shared. You became official over that period and had never looked back. The public gradually became aware of you as a couple, never hiding the fact you were together, regularly posting each other on your social media and sharing some sweet moments on the pitch. She was your biggest fans, as you were hers, and she made a point of telling everyone how talented you were.

“Right give me that here.” You commanded to Alexia at one fork in the path, taking the map off her where the checkpoints were highlighted. “Remind me never to take instructions from you again.”

“I’d like to get down in the next couple of hours, we’ll miss our flight at this rate.” Irene said.

“I think the quickest route would be that one,” You said pointing to the steeper route on the decline.

“Are you sure that’s safe?” Mapi checked. “It looks quite steep.”

“I know but that side looks icy, I think this is the safest route, we’ll be fine and if not I’ll cushion the fall for the rest of you.”

“I agree.” Ana said.

It all changed in a split moment. One second you were all together steadily hiking down the mountain, the next you felt your foot slip on a piece of ice, sending you flying forward down the path. In a bid to protect your face, you tried to turn mid-air but that put the full force of the impact with the rock onto your shoulder and chest bone then your head, a crack audible to those around you as you hit the ground.

“Oh my…. Y/N! Y/N!” Mapi screamed.

It was almost as if time stood still for the group, especially Mapi, watching you lose your footing to your body slamming into the rocks underneath them. What was immediate though was the appearance of the blood soaking through your jacket, a pool forming as they scrambled down to meet you.

“Y/N!” Alexia also shouted as her and Mapi knelt down next to you to be met with your closed eyes. “Open your eyes for me.”

“We’ll go and get help.” Irene shouted down to them as the three tried to retrace their steps and find some signal.

“Why is she not responding? She’s not opening her eyes.” The hard-faced exterior broke down as tears streamed down Mapi’s face.

“You’ve got to keep talking to her, it’s the impact.”

In some ways there were positives and negatives to you coming around, the immediate relief felt by your teammates as you opened your eyes was something you’d never seen before, both of them in floods of tears. But opening your eyes and regaining a sense of consciousness meant feeling the full impact of your injuries.

“What hurts the most?” Alexia asked in response to your cries of pain.

“My shoulder, I can’t move.” Alexia tried to uncover the damage but when she was met by an obvious external fracture she knew this wasn’t something she could help with.

“We’re getting you help alright, everything’s going to be fine.” Alexia tried to reassure you.

“Mapi…”

“I’m right here babe.” She came into your line of sight, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “I knew you shouldn’t have led the way, can’t trust you with a map.”

“This isn’t what I meant when I said I would cushion your fall.” You tried to joke but as you went to laugh the pain in your shoulder worsened. “Ow.”

“Keep still.”

“It really hurts.”

“I know it does.”

It felt like help was never going to come as you stayed on the floor, what must have only been a few minutes felt like hours as the pain overtook all your senses. The cool air was beginning to dumb your outer limbs as it felt harder and harder to keep your eyes open.

“You’ve got to stay awake.” Mapi tried to gently stroke your cheek. “Come on keep those eyes open.”

“I’m tired.”

“I know but you’ve got to stay awake.” The panic grew in her eyes as your eyes became more drowsy, only just open. “Alexia, what do I do? She’s losing consciousness, we can’t lose her again.”

“You’ve got to stay calm.” She gently took her teammates shoulders to look her in the eye. “You panicking isn’t going to help anyone and it certainly isn’t helping Y/N, just speak to her. She’ll concentrate on your voice.”

“What do you think Bagheera is doing right now?” Mapi asked you. “She’s probably missing you, you always were her favourite.”

“I miss her.” You managed to croak out. “She loves you too.”

“But she loves you more, that’s not hard though. We all love you.”

“I love you too. I’m sleepy.”

“I know you are babe but just keep talking to me.”

“So tired.”

“Alexia do something, please.” Mapi pleaded watching her girlfriend’s eyes close and her hand fall limp in her own. “Please wake up, come on open those eyes. I can’t live without you.”

“She’s still got a pulse, she can probably still here us. She’s probably just in a lot of pain right now.” Not only was she reassuring Mapi but herself as she grasped the other hand in her own. “Come on Y/N, stay strong.”

The two stayed by your side until the three returned with an army of paramedics and doctors behind them. “If you two want to wait over there, we’ll take care of her now.”

“Stay strong. I love you.” Mapi whispered, placing a delicate kiss on your forehead before clearing the scene around you, an immediate swarm of people treating you but what Mapi felt was arms tangling around her waist as she was brought into a hug by her friend. “I can’t lose her.”

“I know you can’t. I know.” Both of them couldn’t help the tears as you continued to not wake. “I’ve got you.”

…..

If you’d have been conscious you probably would have been embarrassed by the amount of attention you received that day. The rest of the team were brought into the severity of the incident by the sheer number of ambulances present and the team tasked with removing you from the mountain face.

All that was a blur though to Mapi as she sat by your bedside, holding your hand as she machines beeped around her. You’d immediately been taken into emergency surgery when you arrived and were yet to wake up from the strong anaesthesia, though the doctors warned it could take some time. The surgery had gone well though you were going to be out of action for some time and you had obvious signs of concussion even though you tried to prevent that.

“Do you remember when we were on holiday?” Mapi reminisced as she was told you might be able to hear her. “It feels so strange that it was just less than a month ago we were on that boat and you said you wanted to marry me.”

Three Weeks Ago….

After a long season and then the Euros on top of that, you and Mapi decided to spend a couple of weeks in Ibiza. You’d rented out a villa and spent the first week having some quality time alone before both your families joined you for the final week. Having been together over 2 years now, you were both very comfortable with each other’s family and you wanted to spend some quality time with all of them.

On your final full day, Mapi had surprised you all by renting a private yacht out for the day with enough room for everyone.

“Auntie Mapi why do you have so many tattoos?” You niece Sofia asked as the three of you sat under the shade with a bowl of fruit watching the glistening sea as everyone else tried to work on their tan, taking turns to keep the little one and your baby nephew out of the mid-afternoon sun.

“I like drawing so wanted to draw on my arms.” She explained as you sat between her legs, your back resting against her chest as she rested her hands on your stomach.

“Do they mean anything?”

“Some of them do, like the tool is because my dad used to fix cars. I got the cat for Bagheera.”

“Do you have any for Auntie Y/N?”

“We have matching ones.” She pointed out.

“Auntie Y/N has a tattoo?”

“It’s very small.” You explained, straightening out so your ribs were on show and Mapi’s cursive writing was on show. You’ve showed it to a lot of people but the location meant you wouldn’t see it day to day. “It says ‘te amo’.”

“And I’ve got one in the same place but in Y/N’s handwriting.” Mapi showed her the matching tattoo, in the exact same position as your own. “I’ve got a few more though, that is the day we first got together,” she pointed to the roman numbers on her wrist and then a tiny heart with your initial in on her chest, “and this little heart here, so she’s always in my heart.”

“When you get married can I wear a dress and be a bridesmaid because my friend went to a wedding and she got to be one?”

Woah that question took you by surprise, it’s not that you’d never thought about marrying Mapi and you’d both mentioned it but never in a serious conversation. You knew from the moment you got together she was it for you, no-one would ever come close to the way she made you feel and so for you this was forever.

Before you even got the chance to answer her though, Mapi took the lead. “I’m sure we can reserve that honour just for you. Do you think we should get married.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” I don’t think you’ve ever seen the little girl so excited. “Then you can be together forever and I can have a cousin.”

That nearly made you choke on a piece of mango. “We’ll see.” You told her, not exactly wanting to explain how complicated that would be.

“Good.” The little girl joined in on your cuddle, sitting on your knee. “I love you Auntie Y/N and Auntie Mapi.”

“We love you too.” You whispered, pressing a kiss to her forehead before twisting your head to meet Mapi’s awaiting lips. “And I love you.”

“I love you more.”

You spent the rest of the afternoon in and out of the sea, spending time with everyone before you all sat down for the meal. A choice of seafood splayed out in front of you, which you knew was the work of your partner due to your love of seafood, confirmed by the wink she threw you as you both sat down.

“Another year gone.” Your mother said as you all ate. “Thank you both for the most amazing holiday.”

“We’ve loved having you all here with us.” You confirmed. “All our family.”

“Here’s to Mapi and Y/N.” Your sister asked everyone to cheers. “We love you both and here’s to another successful season and future ahead of you.”

“To Mapi and Y/N.”

If there’s one thing you loved about Spain and being by the sea it was the sunset. So whilst your families made their way back after your meal, you and Mapi climbed up to the top of the yacht, cuddled into each other under a blanket and watched the sun set.

“Did I answer Sofia’s question alright earlier?” Mapi broke the comfortable silence between you both.

“About the tattoos? I’m sure you got them all right.”

“Not about the tattoos, about her wanting to be a bridesmaid.”

“Oh that, I’m sure she can be a bridesmaid.”

“That’s not really what I was focusing on though, do you want to get married?”

“You know I do,” You confirmed. “You’re the person I want to spend the rest of my life with Maria.”

“I hate it when you call me Maria.” She complained, resting her head on your chest. “Do you want a big or a small wedding?”

“Big enough to have all our family and friends but not huge. I know you’d probably wear a suit and I’d probably wear a dress, it’d be summer and yeah, every time I picture it I can’t wait for that moment.”

“I can’t either, for the wedding and to propose to you.” You knew she wanted to propose to you from the conversations you’d heard her have with other couples who had got engaged and you were fine with that. “I just can’t wait for a future with you.”

“What about babies?” You asked, this is something that had come up less. Both of you expressing your wish for children but you knew that was something that wouldn’t just happen naturally.

“I know you want children and you know I do. We’ll make it work, football is important but it’s not everything. You and our future family are my everything, you’ll always be my priority.”

“I can’t wait to watch a little Mapi run around, I want them to look just like you. Do you think they’ll come out with a tattoo?”

“Ha ha.” She dryly laughed. “If they’re anything like you then they’ll be perfect.”

“When did you become so soppy?” You asked meeting her slightly glossy eyes that you knew matched your own.

“When I met the love of my life.” She whispered, connecting your lips softly together for a slow but passionate kiss. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

….

“And have your babies.” She almost thought she dreamt that but when she looked over, there you were. Your eyes only slightly open but open none the less. “What happened?”

“I thought I lost you.” Mapi couldn’t help but let the tears fall as she gently wrapped you in a hug, her head resting on your good shoulder. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too you sloppy fool. You’re not getting rid of me that easy, I’ve still got that wedding to plan.”

“I’ll get the ring.”

Once the doctors had been able to assess you awake, Mapi brought in your first emotional visitor.

“Not you as well.” You tried to joke, noticing the tear marks on Alexia’s face. “Come here.”

“You don’t know how happy I am to see you.” She said, once again gently collapsing on your good shoulder. “I love you.”

“I love you too, lets just watch Netflix together though next time, avoid the mountains.”

“Agreed.”
