Dear Journal,

Things are upside down and out of control (personally and everywhere), and there doesn't appear to be any clear path in sight. What can you really do in situations like that?! 🤷‍♀️

I look to the stars (astrology forecast) to help give me some kind of understanding/clarity on what's happening so that I know where to go from here.🌠🔭

It appears that this "slow down" (and recent solar flare) is causing confusion with a combative energy. Things that have been ignored/avoided are coming up to your awareness in an intense way (relationships, past events, cycles, dreams) to be handled immediately.

Stay composed and have your witts about you, because the choices being made are permanent.

There's nowhere else to go, but within❣️ It's time to check in with yourself and self-reflect on things that you've neglected about yourself. No longer is it sustainable to live the way you had because of other responsibilities.

It's time to prioritize yourself because you are needed for something far greater than the life you've led so far.

It's time to call in your inner warrior ✊️ and prepare for what's coming at the beginning of the year(2024).  There's gonna be a lot of changes, and you're going to need your mental fortitude to be able to endure all the challenges that are going to be taking place💪❤️‍🩹🧠

I'm calling in my inner Sumo fighting spirit, like E. Honda🦵💪

[ and Atamifuji, He's definitely #1 in my eyes🤩🏆]

What's your inner warrior?!🦁

How to Be a Fighter in All Aspects of Life

Life is a battleground. Each day, we face challenges, obstacles, and setbacks that test our mettle. To conquer life's many battles, we need the spirit of a fighter – someone who doesn't give up when the going gets tough. Being a fighter isn't just about physical strength; it's about resilience, determination, and the unwavering will to overcome any adversity.

Cultivate Mental Resilience:

Embrace a growth mindset.

Develop a positive self-talk.

Practice mindfulness and meditation to enhance mental clarity.

Learn from failures and setbacks, turning them into stepping stones for success.

Set and Pursue Goals:

Define clear, achievable goals in various areas of your life.

Create a plan of action to reach those goals.

Stay focused and committed to your objectives, even when facing challenges.

Stay Physically Fit:

Regular exercise improves physical health and boosts confidence.

Maintain a balanced diet to fuel your body.

Seek professional guidance for fitness routines if needed.

Manage Stress:

Adopt stress management techniques such as deep breathing, relaxation, and time management.

Prioritize self-care to keep stress at bay.

Embrace Challenges:

Don't shy away from challenges; they're opportunities to grow.

Push yourself beyond your comfort zone to discover your true potential.

Build a Support Network:

Surround yourself with people who encourage and support your goals.

Seek guidance and mentorship from those who have walked a similar path.

Never Give Up:

The true essence of a fighter is to never surrender to adversity.

Even in the face of failure, stand up and keep moving forward.

Choose Your Battles Wisely:

Not every battle is worth fighting. Some circumstances are beyond our control, and expending energy on them can be futile.

Recognize when it's best to let go and accept what can't be changed.

Being a fighter doesn't mean battling every obstacle in your path; it also means having the wisdom to discern which battles are worth your time and energy. Sometimes, the most powerful act of fighting is in acceptance and letting go. Embrace the spirit of a fighter, but choose your battles wisely to maximize your effectiveness in all aspects of life.

POV: you’re a powerful dragon laid low by the common cold and forced to submit to smothering attention of your brothers.

Loved @bokettochild ‘s update to The Inner Hero. Sick-dragon Warriors was so excellent and hilarious to read, made all the better by Twilight’s attempts to herd him XD

Rabbit legend was the true star of the show tho, and I adored every description of Legend and Warrior’s interactions as humans and in their “beast” forms.

Inner Hero Thoughts

I think Legend has a natural magic attraction. He's good at finding magical things and creatures and tends to understand and connect with them better than with that which isn't magical. I mean, he's literally steeped in magic and like attracts like, right?

This comes with downsides though, because not only is he drawn to magic, but magic is drawn to him. Legend thinks it's just that he's good at finding it, but magic wants to be found by him. Not only that, but beings that are magical or else highly affected by magic also really, really like having him around. And keeping him around too, even if he's not always in agreement.

What am I getting at? Well, there's a reason that eight different creatures of various sorts and shapes (including a certain dragon and wolf) all got attached to him, and no, it's not just because of his winning personality, or because he's a hero like them, it's because their inner magics genuinely looked at him and went "yes, that one".

The irony, of course, is that he is literally the only prey creature among them, so it's something like having a bunch of dangerous things just...following him, and if he runs they will just run faster to keep up because they don't want him to go? Meanwhile he is panicking because they are chasing him?

Long of the short, I'm running our bunny wild and Warriors isn't the only one having trouble with the recently set boundaries.

Sokka: Zuko?!?!

Zuko: Nope.

Sokka: What do you mean 'Nope'? I can clearly see who you are!

Zuko: I am not Zuko.

Sokka: Yes, you are! And you are the blue spirit!

Zuko: Who’s the blue spirit?

Pst! Might be a fun lil challenge if you ever want to work on something like this....

Mike Schmidt adopts a stray cat but it's from the cats point of view.

Okay this one got me LMFAO. I won’t necessarily call this a “oneshot,” but I had to write something with this iconic request. Thank you so much for this anon, it made my day.

『••✎••』

You were a small thing, grey and white, with long fur and eyes that were almost unnaturally large. You sat there quietly, watching the people in the shelter walk past and occasionally licking your paw and brushing it against your face. You were not like the other cats, who were loud and energetic and climbed on everything. You were reserved and seemed almost disinterested.

That is until your eye caught Mike.

Then you sat up and watched him, not making a noise but staring at him. And when Mike stared back, you looked away, and then you looked back, and the look of pure joy spread across your little face...

"She likes you," the girl said.

"Yeah, sure," he replied, looking at the girl, who was beaming. "I'm not taking her.”

He took you home that night.

Mike set down the cat bed, the toys, and the food and then stared at the cat carrier for a moment before opening it. He heard you sniffing and meowing, and then your face poked out, and you looked around curiously.

Soon, you were out of the cage, walking around his apartment. Abby had grown a fondness for you and was currently chasing you around the living room, trying to get you to play. She had already caught you several times and was just playing with you now.

Mike wasn’t special enough to get that treatment. You were an asshole, a menace, and a demon. You peed in his shoes, stole his food, and once bit his arm for no reason.

He hated you.

You were curled up on his chest, purring as he read the newspaper. He was ignoring you and trying to get his mind off the fact that you were on him when you decided that he was going to pay attention to you.

Your paw found his cheek, smacking it lightly.

"What?" he said, lowering the paper.

"Mraow," You said, only looking up at him for a moment.

"What?"

Your paw hit his face again. When he ignored you for the second time, you decided to go in with claws. You didn’t scratch his face, but his paper now had holes in it, and a few lines of ink were smudged.

"Hey! Bad cat!"

He moved to set you on the couch, but you didn’t let go. He ended up holding you as you screamed in his face, clawing at his shirt.

"You little asshole," he grumbled, setting you down and getting up. You followed him, crying loudly. He didn't have any intention of feeding you, but he wanted you to shut up.

"Meow meow!" you shouted.

"Yes, yes, I'm getting it," he said, filling your food bowl. "Now eat it."

You did not eat it. Instead, you looked up at him and cried louder.

"Oh, I'm sorry, do you want to starve? Because that can be arranged."

He went back to reading his paper, trying his hardest to ignore you.

It didn't work. You sat by his foot, screaming until he picked you up and put you on his lap. He was going to keep his hands busy by petting you, but that didn't work because as soon as he stopped, you would start screaming again.

He had no idea that cats were so demanding. But then again, he'd never owned a cat. He had no idea what to expect.

He wondered why he had ever adopted you.

He didn't have to wonder long.

As soon as he was done giving you attention, you got off him and sat down next to him. Mike looked down, and you looked up, and then you put your paw on his leg and started kneading his pants, making small noises.

You were so happy and content, and it was obvious.

"You are an asshole," he said. "But at least you're an adorable asshole."

You have a content little purr and laid down next to him. Sure, Abby might be the one who appreciated you more and the one who wanted to play, but Mike was the one you had chosen.

And you were never going to leave him. No matter how many times he seriously considered sending you back to the shelter,

You were never letting him go. And, despite what he says, he was never letting you go, either.

Armored Lady Monday

Tobana Yu! the character im using in final fantasy xiv to see how long it takes me to do the story without teleporting, due to her abnormal affinity to aether, she gets sick everytime she uses aether magick or any sort of aether manipulation, in the village she grew on, she learned the ways of using her own adrenaline and furiousness to counteract the effects of feeling aether sickness

before she found the way of the reaper, she was a warrior, a job that causes the user to go berserk, when shes lucky, she loses conciousness when having to fight going into berserker mode, people from her village tell her she becomes like a rabid animal, she thinks they are crazy and are exagerating

due to her condition she gets pretty spent after any kind of fight, so she is more likely to avoid conflict for an extended period of time
