ㅤ♡ HUSBAND!LUIGI MANGIONE HEADCANONS

WARNINGS: suggestive language, curse word i guess that's it. Idk man.

ㅤ♡ You met Luigi because he was struggling to parallel park his car, and you yelled out, “Want me to do it or are you gonna figure it out, fucker?” He smirked (classic him), parked it perfectly just to show off, and then walked over to ask if you need any help. (It was his car. You were walking past. Fate said yes.)

ㅤ♡ He’s the guy who looks tough as nails but will 100% scream if there’s a spider in the bedroom. One time, he made you “escort it out” while he stood on the bed yelling instructions. (You married him anyway because he’s hot.)

ㅤ♡ Proposed during a candlelit dinner at home because he knew you'd get suspicious if he planned anything fancy. Mid-spaghetti twirl, he slid the ring across the table with a suave, “So, wanna make me the happiest guy in the world?” (You choked on your wine, said yes, and then yelled at him for ruining the vibe with how casual it was.)

ㅤ♡ If he sees you crying over a sad movie, he’ll immediately start roasting the plot to make you laugh. “Why didn’t they just move to Florida if the killer clowns were such a problem?” Meanwhile, he’s crying too but won’t admit it.

ㅤ♡ He always insists on carrying all the groceries, even if it means his arms are about to fall off. (One time, he dropped a bag of flour in the driveway and mumbled, ‘It’s fine, I’m still strong,’ as if you doubted him.)

You forwarded your hand indicating him to give some bags since he had too many bag in both of his hands. It was a silent command, one laced with the expectation of immediate compliance.

Instead, he shifted the bags from his left hand to his right, a move that seemed deliberate, almost theatrical. His right hand, already laden with the weight of too many bags, now bore them all. And before you could voice your annoyance, he reached out—grasping your hand with an ease that caught you off guard.

Then came that smile. Not just any smile, but the kind that could melt glaciers, warm the coldest of hearts, and disarm even the most stoic. It was pure, unfiltered joy—mischief and charm rolled into one breathtaking expression. The cutest smile humanity had ever seen, or so it felt in that moment.

You sighed, tilting your head to the left, then the right, your disappointment on full display. “Asshole,” you muttered, your voice carrying just enough edge to sell the act.

But deep down, in the space you guarded most fiercely, you couldn’t have been happier.

ㅤ♡ The man is an absolute menace in the kitchen. He makes a huge mess every time he cooks but insists it’s “part of the creative process.” (The food is always delicious, though. You can’t even be mad.)

ㅤ♡ He buys you flowers randomly, but not the typical roses. He’ll show up with a weird mix, like sunflowers and baby’s breath, saying, “This one reminded me of your smile.” (You secretly press and save every single flower.)

ㅤ♡ A firm believer in PDA. He’s got a hand on your waist at all times. One time, a stranger commented on how affectionate he is, and Luigi smirked, “Can’t help it. She’s irresistible.”

ㅤ♡ You once joked about him doing your makeup, and he took it as a personal challenge. He watched three YouTube tutorials and showed up with a fully stocked Sephora bag. (He tried his best. It was bad. But you loved him for it.)

ㅤ♡ Absolutely melts if you wear his clothes. Walk into the room in one of his shirts, and he’s done for. “Yeah, we’re not leaving the house today,” he says as he picks you up and throws you on the bed. (RIP your plans and your legs.)

ㅤ♡ When you’re upset, he sits next to you quietly until you’re ready to talk. No prying, no pressure—just his presence. But the second you say what’s wrong, he’s already figuring out how to fix it.

ㅤ♡ He has a whole notes app list of “things she likes,” where he writes down random stuff you mention. Favorite snacks, dream destinations, weird obsessions—he’s got it all.

ㅤ♡ Once, during an argument, you jokingly said, “What are you gonna do? Leave me?” and he dead-serious replied, “Don’t even joke about that. ”

ㅤ♡ Hates shopping for himself but LOVES spoiling you. If he sees you eyeing something, it’s yours. “You deserve it,” he says, even if it’s something silly like a $25 glitter pen.

ㅤ♡ Swears he’s a big, tough guy but turns into absolute mush around kids. He’ll let them climb all over him like he’s a jungle gym. (You’re not saying it out loud, but yeah, you’re mentally baby-trapping yourself.)

ㅤ♡ Insists on celebrating every tiny milestone in your relationship. “It’s been 100 days since we had our first pizza together!” (You love him for it. Even when you’re rolling your eyes.)

ㅤ♡ One time, you were drunk and jokingly said, “You could totally ruin me, and I’d still thank you,” and he just leaned in and said, “Careful what you wish for, sweetheart.” (You did not walk the next day. The prophecy fulfilled itself.)

ㅤ♡ Every night before bed, he pulls you into his arms and says, “I love you more than yesterday.” It’s cheesy. It’s perfect.

Just One Weekend // Lando Norris x OFC // Part Two

Summary: Alice has been a Formula One fan all her life. When the opportunity came up to enter a competition that could mean attending an actual race, she pounced on it. When the news finally came that she had won, she was cautiously optimistic about what the experience would hold. Lando, on the other hand, would rather eat fish than spend an entire weekend entertaining a stranger.

Part Two

Alice paced the space between her bed and cupboard, anxiously deciding what needed to go in and what didn't. Her two helpers weren't being entirely helpful either.

Her mother sat with a printed checklist on her lap. Nora had always loved checklists and created one for Alice's trip the day after she told her she had won the competition. Although at first Alice found it helpful, all too soon she realised it would take at least three suitcases to pack everything her mother wanted her to.

Rory, on the other hand, sat next to the suitcase and snickered at everything Alice packed. "You can't pack that jacket. You've had it since you were twelve."

"It's my warmest jacket. What if it rains?"

Rory just rolled her eyes and flopped onto her back on the bed. "Do whatever you want, Alice."

Alice took that to heart. She did, of course, pack in everything that she had bought on her shopping spree with Rory. But she also packed her favourite pair of skinny jeans, the most comfortable hoodie she owned, and her bright orange cap - much to Rory's dismay.

"Here." Alice was handed a makeup bag. Rory explained, "It's all my extra makeup. Figured you could use it. Just in case."

"Did you pack the sunscreen?" her mother asked from where she sat at the desk.

"Yes. Sunscreen is in. So is the aloe vera gel, the jumbo pack of plasters, and the knee guard that I definitely won't need."

Rory snorted a suppressed chuckle. Alice just smiled at Nora. Taking care of others like this has always been her love language.

Just one more night and she would be on her way to Silverstone. Alice fell asleep that night watching old interviews of the drivers and the team.

__________

The next morning, she woke up still exhausted. She had been restless all night with thoughts running around her head so quickly she couldn't stay on one for long. The sun hadn't even started rising yet when she climbed out of bed.

She immediately opened the email app on her phone and reread the thread with the McLaren PR team. Just to get even a little bit of reassurance that this was really happening. She also decided to finally go through all the screenshots Rory had sent her of what she was supposed to wear.

Her confidence flickered as she scrolled through the photos. All she had been thinking of was seeing the cars and the drivers in person. She hadn't truly stopped to consider the unspoken expectations that she would have to live up to when she entered the paddock.

Of course, she was still excited. Her only bucket list item was about to be ticked off. But as she sat now, in the sheltered darkness of her room, she allowed herself to feel terrified.

This wasn't just about how she would dress. Although she knew she would need to video call Rory more than once while she was getting ready, and probably YouTube a few makeup tutorials. This was also about behavior.

Growing up, Rory always lived in the spotlight. Which was good because it meant Alice could avoid it with very little effort. But she would probably have to do interviews where she could say a hundred different things to embarrass herself. She'd be meeting people she truly, deeply admired. And again, there were so many scenarios running through her head of her saying something that would leave her embarrassed and on the first flight home.

She quietly opened Instagram and went to the post that was made to announce her as the winner of the helmet design competition. She hated the photo they had used, but it was all she had. Her hair was frizzy, and her smile was something she had always felt insecure about. It wasn't symmetrical enough. Not photogenic.

She looked through the comments. There weren't many. Just a few congratulations. But then she saw the latest comment. 'I'm dying. Lando's interview about this whole thing makes me feel sorry for this girl.'

Lando did an interview? Almost without a thought, she opened YouTube immediately searching for the latest interviews Lando had done. She watched two and found nothing where he spoke about her joining the team for the weekend. But then, she watched the third video and it felt like her heart sank through her body and onto the floor.

"Honestly, I think it's a waste of time. Right now, the team has more important things to focus on. We're competing for a championship, and somehow I'm supposed to prioritize entertaining a fangirl for a weekend? Yeah, I'm just not looking forward to it."

__________

Six hours later and Alice and her family were standing in the airport saying their goodbyes. Nervous energy still flowed through her bones and she used all her focus to mask her anxiety.

Her dad stepped forward and handed her what looked like headphones. "They're an old pair of ear defenders I found in my closet. Should help dull some of the noise." He placed a tender kiss on her forehead and took a step back.

Her mother also stepped forward and gave her a tight hug. "Call us if you need anything. We love you."

"Love you too, Mom." Alice smiled as she turned to face Rory and Mia.

Mia smirked. "Take lots of pictures. Of you, of the car -"

"Of Lando's face," Rory interrupted.

Alice blushed so deeply she felt sunburnt.

"Definitely take pictures of Lando's face," Mia agreed.

Alice laughed and pulled them both in for a hug. There hadn't been a moment of her life that she hadn't shared with either Mia or Rory. The thought of spending an entire weekend without either one of them just fueled her anxiety.

Rory whispered, "You'll be fine. Just breathe."

__________

Alice had finally made it through security and check-in when her phone rang. The Formula 1 theme song echoing around her.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Alice. This is Imogene from McLaren's PR team?"

"Oh. Hi, Imogene." Alice walked towards a nearby bench and plopped herself down. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes. Everything is in order. I actually wanted to talk with you about a slightly sensitive mater."

Alice's eyebrows furrowed. "Okay?"

"You'll be shadowing Lando for the weekend, as I already explained in our call a few days ago. But we just wanted to give you a polite reminder to keep to yourself and allow the team to do what they do best."

"You want me to make myself invisible?"

"In simple terms, yes. Enjoy your flight, Alice, we'll see you on the track in a few hours."

Alice sighed as the familiar click indicated the call had been ended. First the interview, and now this? More and more, she was wishing she hadn't entered the competition in the first place. It wasn't being invisible that bothered her. She had always enjoyed that. It was not being wanted that really got under her skin.

__________

Her carry-on bag thudded into the overhead compartment with far more force than necessary, but it felt like all her emotions were on overdrive. She didn't know what to do with all the anxiety and frustration.

"Sorry," she mumbled. The man in the next seat had looked up at her, startled as she shoved her bag into the tight space. She offered him a small smile, which felt incredibly awkward, and slid into her seat by the window. She gripped the strings from her hoodie so tightly that her fingers were starting to feel numb.

She still couldn't believe that this was happening - that she was actually flying to see a Grand Prix. But still, she couldn't find the excitement and joy she had first felt when she opened the email.

The thought of shadowing Lando all weekend after he had made it clear he didn't want her there made her stomach twist in a way that not even the turbulence of the flight could accomplish.

Running low on sleep after being up all night, worried about embarrassing herself, did not make calming down any easier. Even the advice she had googled on how to behave in the F1 paddock didn't give her any confidence. All the advice was the same. Advice like 'don't ask for selfies' and 'don't trip'.

Which was valid advice, she supposed, but she wasn't planning on doing any of that anyway. None of the advice she had read covered the intricacies of looking like a complete and utter idiot in front of Lando Norris, who would probably hate her from the moment he saw her.

As she walked out of the plane and into the airport she received a text from Mia.

Mia: Send me a pic the second you see him. Preferably of him shirtless.

Alice just smiled at Mia's antics. She was always an agent of chaos, and Alice loved her for it. She locked her phone and put it in her pocket while she waited to collect her suitcase at the baggage claim.

The carousel beeped and groaned as it moved. The conveyor belt was a mass of luggage that the people around her were lunging forward to grab. Her nerves were still electric as she took a step closer. People's necks, including her own, were craned to spot their bags as they slid out with a heavy thud.

As the carousel moved, she spotted a luminous green hard-shell case. Another suitcase was covered in Barbie stickers. A black bag with plastic wrapped around it.

But not hers.

Ten minutes passed. Everything is fine, she tried to convince herself. Then fifteen minutes.

She watched the same black bag circle by for the fourth time when her stomach finally twisted.

This is impossible. This cannot be happening.

She double-checked that the baggage tag info was correct. Everything matched up perfectly. So where was it?

Her backpack was still slung over her left shoulder. That meant she at least had her wallet, her phone, and some bare essentials. But everything else was in her suitcase.

Her clothes. Her shoes. Her toiletries. Every outfit that Rory had carefully picked for her. All the outfits she had packed because they were familiar.

Gone.

She quickly walked to the airline's lost luggage desk, nerves bubbling through the surface now. She was on the verge of a full-blown panic attack.

The woman behind the counter looked exhausted, and entirely over the day, as she smiled a careful, practiced smile and asked, "Lost bag?'

She nodded. "Pink suitcase. Hard-shell. White tag with my name on it, Alice Richards."

The woman nodded and typed on her very loud keyboard with the speed of someone who does this far too often. "Okay, so it looks like your bag is still at the airport of departure. It never made it onto the flight."

Alice just blinked at the woman.

"It happens more often than you think." She handed Alice a crinkled form and a pen. "Fill this form out and we'll have it on the next flight. Should be delivered to your hotel by tomorrow afternoon."

Alice forced a tight, polite smile. "Of course. Thank you."

By the time she stepped outside, looking for the driver who was supposed to be here for her, the panic had officially set in. She had no clothes with her except for what she wore. No makeup. No shoes other than her well-worn sneakers. Even her comfort hoodie, gone.

This would be the perfect first impression.

She yanked her phone out her pocket and quickly typed out a message to Mia.

Alice: My bag didn't make it onto the flight. Mia: Is this a joke to get back at me for the chocolate prank? Alice: Do I seem like I'm kidding? Mia: Not ideal. Can they still send it to you? Alice: Yeah but not before tomorrow. Mia: Okay. This is fine. Channel some main character energy. Go buy some expensive clothes and act like this was all planned.

Alice just groaned and slipped her phone back in her pocket. She barely had the money for the clothes she had already bought. Never mind buying another entire outfit.

She saw a man in a black suit holding up a sign with her name on it, and she dragged her feet towards him.

"Miss Richards?" the man asked. Alice nodded, and he continued, "There's been a change of plans. Imogene has said I am to take you straight to the hotel for a team dinner."

Great. She was about to walk into the most high-profile weekend of her life in nothing but worn jeans, battered sneakers, and a severely crinkled hoodie. Was there an award for worst outfit in the paddock?

If this was the universe testing her, it was doing a phenomenal job.

__________

The hotel lobby was sleek and modern. And Alice felt wildly out of place standing under a chandelier that probably cost more than her family's house.

She adjusted the strap of her backpack and tried to breath through the anxiety coursing through her veins.

"Alice Richards?" a voice called.

She lifted her head up and came face-to-face with Oscar Piastri. He strode towards her in a McLaren polo and a warm smile on his face.

"That's me," she said. Her voice came out a lot softer than she intended. Could he tell she had just been panic texting Rory about needing to find a toothbrush?

"I'm Oscar," he held his hand out for her to shake. "Imogene asked me to greet you. She told me about the whole luggage dilemma. I thought I'd make sure you didn't completely combust."

"I'm holding it together," she said. Oscar gave her a look that said he didn't really believe her. "Okay, I'm barely holding on. As long as the new trend is 'lazily-dressed and sweaty from a long flight', I'll be the best-dressed person in the paddock."

"I've seen worse," Oscar said. "One of our mechanics wore crocs to a race once."

"Was it a dare?"

"Nope. A personal fashion choice. The images still haunt me to this day."

Alice huffed out a small chuckle. This was the most relaxed she had felt in days.

Oscar handed her a McLaren-branded duffel bag that had been slung over his shoulder. "Actually, I brought you something. Emergency merch drop and some clothes courtesy of my girlfriend Lily. She said she put some toiletries in there as well."

"You brought me clothes?" she blinked up at him.

"I thought you might prefer some team gear and second-hand dresses to walking around in airplane mode. At least until your suitcase decides to grace us with its presence."

She took the bag from his hands, her heart feeling unexpectedly full and warm. "Thank you. Seriously. I was terrified of becoming a meme."

"Anytime," he smiled. "Apparently, you're joining us for a PR dinner tonight. It's not too formal, but Lily says there's a dress in there you can wear."

"I'll take whatever I can get. What exactly is this PR dinner going to be about?"

"It's mostly just introducing you to a few key people you'll be working with over the next few days," he explained. "We're only meeting in an hour, so you can go to your room and get ready. Your key should be at the front desk."

"Thanks Oscar."

He nodded and turned to walk away. "Oh! I almost forgot." He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a lanyard covered in McLaren's logo. It had a paddock pass attached to it.

Alice took a deep breath and took it from his hand. Her fingers carefully brushed over the plastic.

Alice Richards. McLaren. All Access.

It felt heavier than she expected. Though she wasn't sure if it was the weight of expectations that she was feeling.

"You okay?" Oscar asked, head tilted slightly.

"Yeah," she took another deep breath. "It's feeling properly real now."

"It is. Make sure you enjoy every moment. See you at dinner."

He turned once again and walked to the lift. Her stomach did a flip.

She clutched the lanyard close to her chest and walked up to the receptionist, ready to wash the flight and anxious sweat off her skin.

_________

Lando sat at the table in the rented restaurant. He stared at his drink and wondered why he had even agreed to this dinner in the first place. He wanted to be back in his room and preparing.

Instead, he was surrounded by the buzz of soft conversation and the occasional clink of glasses. The PR team was sitting on one side of the table with the engineers and drivers on the other. Oscar and Lily sat across from him quietly talking between themselves.

Lando just wanted to get through the weekend. He wanted to win. Do his job. Go home. But, he was sat in this restaurant waiting for the contest-winner to actually show up.

A fan. A girl. A distraction.

He rubbed his hand along his jaw, the muscles tense.

"You're brooding," Oscar said.

"No, I'm not," Lando replied and shot Oscar a venomous glare.

"You absolutely are. And before you say anything, yes, I know you hate this whole arrangement. But she's already had a bad day. Please try not to make it worse."

Lando leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, "If she's not happy to be here, she shouldn't be."

Oscar just rolled his eyes, but it was Lily who spoke. "It's not like she's joining the pit crew. She's a guest. And she's also just a person."

Before Lando could reply, the restaurant door opened.

Heads turned as a woman stepped inside, flanked by two PR reps. She was smallish, definitely shorter than Lando. And she looked absolutely exhausted, wearing a white dress that looked suspiciously similar to one Lily had worn at the previous race.

That must be her.

Lando watched as she scanned the room, rubbing her hands on her skirt from what he assumed to be nerves. She held her head high, though. She didn't fidget more than that one action, and she didn't shrink under all the gazes turned towards her.

"She lost her luggage and still showed up," one of the PR reps at the table muttered. "That scored her bonus points."

Alice stepped up to the table, smiled in a way that showed her uncertainty and said, "Hi. Sorry, I'm late. There was a small ... travel disaster."

Her voice was softer than Lando expected. Something in it tugged at his heart. One thing was clear to him. She had a presence without even trying.

Oscar stood to greet her. Lando did not.

"Alice, this is Lando," the PR rep said cheerfully. Like they were introducing her to a friendly coworker and not a man who lately had the emotional range of a rock.

Alice extended her hand towards him, "Nice to meet you."

He shook her hand and noted the slight tremble she was trying to hide. "You made it."

"Barely. But yeah."

She took the empty seat next to him, and the table launched into light chatter about the next day's schedule. But Lando only half-listened.

He watched her instead. Quietly. Discreetly.

Some voice in the back of his mind said that maybe this wouldn't be a complete disaster. He ignored that voice and steeled himself.

Updated: How I edit my sims 4 screenshots (night-time edition)

A more detailed editing tut so you can understand my process as it may help you, i edited this relatively quickly and usually spend about 1-2hrs editing something...so let's goo.....

Before taking screenshots:

Help yourself as much as you can in-game, I always make sure there is some sort of light source in my pictures or something interesting that I can add to enhance something already there

Understand good/bad composition and add variety by using different angles

I take LOTS of photos just to end up with 1 or 2 good ones

I'll just be using photoshop for this, but i also like to use the procreate app as i'm more confident w it.

step1: I check if there are any major glitches or hard areas e.g, fingers elbows etc.. that have sharp points and pull them in liquify so they are smooth. Then use curves to change the contrast.

step2: *duplicates image* using the dodge and burn tools (keyboard shortcut: o ) i'll add emphasis to highlights and shadows (be careful with these as the dodge tool can ruin the image if used in excess) *merges image* (i duplicate and merge as i go, utilise using lots of layers so you can go back if you mess up/ want to change the opacity of an effect.)

step3: making light sources POP. *new layer* change blending mode to overlay or soft light and choose a colour you like.

step4: *new layer* draw hair strands. i just use a basic round brush in photoshop and change the hardness or i'll use a sharp caligraphy type brush depending on my sims hair type. (i try not to overdo it as i like maxis hair and don't want it to look too realistic)

step5: i would then add a new layer and set the blending mode to multiply to add more shadows, but i don't feel like i need to at this point.

step6: *duplicates image* go to filter > camera raw filter, i change the "light" and "curve" panels, i like green tints in my screenshots especially the night ones. (this is where all the magic happens really so just adjust all the channels to your liking, lightroom is also really good to use)

step7: *create new layer* blending mode: screen or linear dodge (add) / makeup and finishing touches! - for this look i'll get stars and glitter pngs off google or unsplash same for the smoke, though if i'm using procreate they have free brushes for that :')

step8: add light leaks as they add some fun dynamic lighting and textures to your screenshots. (i also flip my image horizantally [image > image rotation > flip canvas horizontally] whilst editing as it's like a "fresh pair of eyes" when you've been editing for a while so you can see what looks off)

final step: merge all the layers (though i do merge along the way once i'm happy with something) go to filter > sharpen > smart sharpen. I leave it as the default setting.

extra step if u want: for party pics i might add chromic abberation here is a 60 second tutorial on youtube it makes the pic look cool and trippy.

And you're done!! congrats on surviving. if you have any questions please send them in my ask box so others can see and get help too.

technically this should be step zero. but it's important to get clear on what you actually want. there are a lot of ways to do this. below i've compiled a small list for you!

- look into archetypes + system. they are patterns and associations based on body type, facial features, and personality traits. (i know there's ones that exist for feminine presenting people, i'm not sure about masculine presenting people. you are obviously not obligated to follow these, but they can be fun sometimes, especially if you're looking to curate a specific image of yourself.)

- observe the people you admire. this is a great way to try and find patterns in the people you look up to. (for example, i tend to gather inspiration from celebrities who have very youthful, sweet, and angelic faces. this helped me realize what my desired face was.)

- get creative. use faceswap and apps similar to blend together people you want to look like! if the beauty you're going for is more conceptual, make a collage board of things that visually describe your beauty. (for example, my collage board included things like cats, bunnies, deer, angels, dolls, etc.)

- you can also look at pinterest and save images of bodies, body parts, and facial features to help you know you want. this is especially useful if you're a person who has trouble keeping track of things you're manifesting.

- write a list of all the features you want. (notion is a great app to make lists and sort things if you don't enjoy using paper.)

- if you just want to become better looking overall, your subconscious knows what you truly want, so don't stress about specifying it if you're having trouble doing so.

♡- knowing that we are limitless can be a very freeing feeling, but it's important to remember that just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should do something. remember to be critical of what you want, especially when it comes to manifesting appearance changes. society has taught most of us what we are supposed to deem beautiful and healthy and what is ugly and unhealthy. do not allow indoctrination to control you. read this for more clarification.

fulfilling yourself is the most important part of the process. you must do it continuously until you feel as if you no longer need to do it because your desires are truly yours. you do not engage in methods to get anything, creation is finished. this post focuses specifically on fulfilling yourself using the state akin to sleep. there's many tutorials that already exist, explaining how to get to the state. here's a few of my personal favorites: 1, 2, 3, 4.

i personally have trouble quieting my mind down and getting into the state of thinking about my desires, so i like to either listen to music or do a meditation beforehand. here are some mediations i enjoy using: 1, 2,. while i relax my body, i sometimes listen to soundscapes to calm myself down (1, 2, 3,). depending on how i feel, i will either use the lullaby method or visualize. below, I've listed some ideas for imaginal scenarios.

- people asking you if you're [insert celebrity/person] because you look just like them!

- overhearing people gossiping about you, and accusing you of having work done when you're really just a natural beauty

- people constantly asking you for makeup tutorials or what your skincare routine is

- seeing yourself on thumbnails of subliminals/seeing yourself all over pinterest

- getting showered with compliments everywhere you go, people give you things for free and do you favors bc of how beautiful you are

♡- you don't have to fall asleep in the state for it to work. it's beneficial, but not essential. i personally like to do sats visualization midday, and the lullaby method at night.

♡- try not to make your scenarios too convoluted or have too much going on, especially if you're going to fall asleep looping it. it will be more difficult to keep track of what's going on as you slip farther into sleep. (from personal experience, the people in my scenario start slurring their words when i get too sleepy during a complicated sats scenario.)

♡- sats also works for revision. just imagine scenarios working the way you wanted them to, or an event in the past, and imagine you had your desired appearance then.

as for the lullaby method, here are some phrases you can repeat.

- it is done.

- i am stunning.

- i am beautiful.

- it is finished.

- i am free.

- it has been this way.

♡- remember that while doing this, you don't have to feel any particular emotion. you don't need to feel happy, grateful, sad, or peaceful. if you do that's great, and if you don't, that's also perfectly fine. knowing isn't this wise, specific feeling, it's just being aware and accepting what you have as truth. the device you're using to read this post now exists, right? you know you just have it. that's how it should feel to you while fulfilling yourself. it is also okay for the scenario/phrase to not feel natural at first. just keep doing it and eventually the sense of realness will begin to set in.

𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆: 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. 🎀

the art of detatchment is an essential one. detatchment doesn't refer to completely neglecting 3d responsibilities, shutting yourself in a dark room, not going to the bathroom, or not showering— it means do whatever you need to in the outer world, but don't identify with anything that doesn't align with your desires. if you find yourself crying about how ugly you are, seek comfort in imagination and remind youself that the true you, the inner you, doesn't cry over their appearance because they are confident in how they look.

detatchment includes stopping yourself from controlling things that don't manifest, like thoughts. stop thought flipping, forcing yourself to think positively, and putting yourself on these super strict mental diets because they don't solve the real issue. thoughts stem from states, and they do not manifest anything. you have the power to reject thoughts that don't align with your desires, and accept the ones that do. anything you think that aligns with your desire say "i accept this thought." and anything that doesn't, simply say "i reject this thought." as soon as you fully fulfill yourself, your thoughts will begin to naturally flow from your new dwelling state (the wish fulfilled). you should not be burning yourself out, take it easy.

detatchment also refers to letting go of the how. logic and law of assumption absolutely do not mix, they're oil and water. you have to let go of logical limitations and focus only on the end result. obsessing about waking up with your new appearance or revising it is not going to help you. how you get your desires is not your problem, nor your job. you do not need to take any sort of 3d action, like working out or eating well (although this is a great thing to do, of course!). mental work is the only work you need to do. everything else will simply fall into place, that's the law.

persistence is another important aspect of manifestation. you cannot manifest anything without some degree of persistence. once you decide you have something in imagination, you have to remain faithful to the idea. you can't continually go back to wanting your desire when you've decided it belongs to you in imagination. persisting in the idea that you truly have what you want will end your hunger and allow you to feel free and fulfilled.

a good way to continually fulfill yourself is to set up a sort of routine, like entering sats before getting out of bed each morning, or doing the lullaby method as you fall asleep. as neville said, we are creatures of habit, and habit acts as law, even though it is not. changing your negative habit of remaining in an undesired state into a positive one of consistently remaining in a desired state is very beneficial in solidifying persistence. your routine doesn't have to be extremely convoluted or detailed, it just has to be consistent, like skincare. you don't see results if you only wash your face once a day, you have to persist in your assumptions for them to become facts.

𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒓: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒉. ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

the sabbath is the rest period in which you are completely aware that you have your desires, and know that they absolutely must materialize. although the experience of the sabbath can be slightly different for everyone, what typically happens during this stage is:

- feeling no desire to use any methods (why would you need methods if you know you have your desire?)

- not feeling anything towards your desire (in the same way you feel nothing towards objects in your 3d, you just know they exist)

- thoughts naturally flow from the state of having your desires

- not spiraling or wavering

𝒕𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆. 🎀

question: is the lullaby method just vain affirming?

answer: according to neville, it is not. i am aware some blogs say you can just affirm, but he has always suggested to add feeling to your words, as feeling acts like glue, connecting the imagined reality to the physical one. (again, the feeling is not an emotional one, but rather a feeling of knowing.)

question: minnie, i'm always reminded of my 3d appearance by my family/friends, what do i do?

answer: i think this ask would be helpful!

question: what if i am unable to visualize?

answer: use your other senses (smell, touch, taste, hearing). you can also try studying images of whatever you want to visualize to make them stick in your mind.

question: i can't get into sats on my own, i need guidance, any suggestions?

answer: this meditation is absolutely perfect!

♡︎- stop overconsuming information! you know everything you need to know. there are no more new discoveries to be made. the law is easy and simple. get off tumblr if you're using it in hopes of finding some kind of life-changing information, because you will not find it.

♡︎- stop procrastinating. no, that youtube video you're choosing to fall asleep to isn't going to fulfill you, but doing the lullaby method will. that video will always be there to watch later. what is more important: your happiness, or your momentary entertainment?

♡︎- forget about time. time is not real. focusing on time is focusing on lack- which isn't what you should be doing. continue to fulfill yourself in imagination. what you experience there must be expressed.

♡︎- don't stop persisting. do not let the lack of results in the outer world deter you. if you really want your desires the way you say you do, is persisting really that much work? if your answer is yes, you probably didn't want it that much in the first place. what do you have to lose by visualizing every night or saying an affirmation as you fall asleep? the law is universal, it does not discriminate. no matter how "long" it takes, it shouldn't be worth giving up if you truly, truly want it.

thankyou for reading! <3 (please don't repost without credits)

my ask got eated I finks...

tips for transidol, kpop idols specifically:D? thankuuuu~

- @transvirtualangel :p

TRANS K - POP IDOL . . .

For the basics , learning Korean is obviously a good start ! There are lots of online free courses for that !! :D

Familiarize with Korean beauty standards ( if you haven't already ! ) - by being in the kpop community you can already learn a lot , but following korean influencers can help too !

Learning dances - there are lots of tutorials on Youtube that gently teach you popular kpop dances - there is a range of difficulty , from beginner to advanced , and even disability friendly ones that we personally had lots of fun trying out ! :D

Taking up dance classes can help to cultivate your skills ! There are dance classes specifically based around kpop - whether irl meet ups or online courses !

Invest in vocal coaching / singing classes ! These can help so much to help you practice - there are many free personal courses , but also YouTube videos for at home / do-it-yourself coaching ! Tips ; learning how to rap gives you lots of point for when you may try auditioning ! So try learning in english and korean !

Invest in Korean skincare - it's defiantly god sent , but kpop idols value their skincare , so taking care of yourself is also very good !

Euphoria tips ! ↓

You can record yourself dancing and edit them on simple editing apps , like capcut or velocity , to appear like fancams !

Try doing korean makeup ! There are lots of tutorials on Youtube or you can follow korean influencers that do their makeup tutorials !

You can take pictures and print them out as photo cards ! If you have friends who are into kpop - you can propose the idea of all taking pictures and ' trading ' eachothers photos for fun ! ( whether or not you aren't out as transidol !! :D )

Write your own songs ! There are lyric websites that can help you get some inspiration + simple song makers like Soundtrap where you can create the music !

Join kpop dance groups ! There are online groups dedicated to meet up somewhere and to record group dances - which can make you feel like you have your own group !

Hope this helped - good luck transitioning and stay safe !

Daddy-Daughter Podcast 2023

11 years ago, my kid's daycare surprised us by announcing that they were closing for Christmas break a day before everyone else, so I ended up with our then-four-year-old daughter, Poesy, at my office for the day.

After she got bored with coloring and playing with my office toys, I sat her down on my lap in front of my podcast mic and we recorded the greatest, all-singing episode of my podcast ever:

https://craphound.com/news/2012/12/21/happy-hols/

Thus began an annual tradition. Every year since – save one, when my mic was busted – we have recorded a podcast: I interview the kid about her favorite media, apps, books, and hobbies. Sometimes, she gives a tutorial. Then, we sing a song.

She's 15 now (!), and I still managed to drag her to the mic this weekend. We discussed her musical favorites, old (Ike and Tina singing "Proud Mary") and new (Dominic Fyke). We discuss high school, volunteering at the zoo, and the rigors of dance team. She teaches us how to drive. She runs down her favorite apps, and discusses her recent name change. And then, we sing!

https://craphound.com/news/2023/12/10/daddy-daughter-podcast-2023-edition/

This is the eleventh installment in this time-series snapshots of my kid, starting in London, then moving to LA, and every year I go back and listen to the previous recordings. It's not just a wonderful moment of nostalgia for me – it's also a powerful way to put everything into perspective. Anyone who's kept a journal (or a blog!) knows, the act of regular record-keeping, combined with regular revisiting of those records, turns the impressionistic jumble of memory into a clear picture of your life and its trajectory. We remember so poorly, but our treacherous minds fill in those omissions with whatever's going on right now, so if times are good now, we remember all times as good. If times are bad, everything seems bad.

The following year sees Poesy far more confident and even funnier – and excited about working at the zoo someday:

https://craphound.com/news/2013/12/23/christmastime-daddy-daughter-podcast-with-poesy/

At six, Poesy has learned a little French, and some naughty words for Jingle Bells (and she's got a lot more vocal control!):

https://craphound.com/news/2014/12/22/podcast-happy-xmas-guest-starring-poesy/

At seven, Poesy is living in Los Angeles and my mic is very busted, but Poesy knows all the words to Frosty and she's got the barrelhouse walkout nailed:

https://craphound.com/news/2015/12/25/podcast-happy-xmas-guest-starring-poesy-2/

We didn't manage to record the next year, so we catch up with Poesy at nine, with her English accent all but gone – but her memory for lyrics is better than ever (who knew there were so many choruses to "Deck the Halls?"). This is the first time I interviewed her, for an in-depth discussion of how to make slime (remember slime?):

https://craphound.com/news/2017/12/23/reviving-my-christmas-daddy-daughter-podcast-with-poesy/

At ten, Poesy is now watching online makeup tutorials and has lots of advice for you, and is super into squishies:

https://craphound.com/news/2018/12/24/christmas-podcast-with-poesy-2018-edition/

At eleven, Poesy's no longer willing to sing, but she has lots of information about riding horses. This is the first year that she's got her own music preferences, with half of them being contemporary artists like Billie Eilish and the other half being older acts like Queen. This is also the year that she got rid of all her old toys, books and clothes, because they were "not her style":

https://craphound.com/podcast/2019/12/20/my-annual-daddy-daughter-xmas-podcast-interview-with-an-11-year-old/

Twelve sees us podcasting from covid lockdown. No song this year, but she's playing video games (Among Us), thrifting (while double-masked), and she's just discovered Tiktok, along with Tiktok dances, and she's started to find cool music that I enjoy:

https://craphound.com/news/2020/12/11/daddy-daughter-podcast-2020-edition/

At thirteen, Poe's a high school freshman and the singing is back! She's big into Drag Race and Ru Paul. And high school sucks so hard that she'd rather go back to Zoom school. She's still riding horses, and she's fallen in love with a book for the first time in years: Animal Farm (but she hates the ending):

https://craphound.com/news/2021/12/23/daddy-daughter-podcast-2021-edition/

Last year, Poesy was fourteen, and my office had just flooded out in a freak rainstorm. Poesy has discovered her argumentative nature, and she loves hiking in nearby Angeles National Forest. She's getting into hiphop – Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Cyprus Hill – and South Park (also Fleetwood Mac!). We get a lot about Big Mouth, and a long discussion of her short fiction writing:

https://craphound.com/podcast/2022/12/12/daddy-daughter-podcast-2022-edition/

These annual time-capsules are just tremendous. I may not have had the discipline to do daily, time-lapse ready photo portraits, but this corny, silly yearly tradition is more than a way for my kid and me to spend a few minutes together just before Christmas – they're a way to connect to our past and think about the future to come. I can imagine doing these over Zoom when the kid's away at university in a couple years, though who knows if she'll stand for that.

Here's the podcast episode:

So, I use Procreate. It’s a pretty cool app.

This is not a sponsorship, just a tutorial of how I draw the characters. Anyway—

First, I make a sketch of a pose:

Next, I add a layer on top of it, and draw the character in mind:

It’s okay to make mistakes. I fix them later.

I delete the base sketch layer, and add another layer, this time making a final lineart:

I keep the previous layer to help me with the coloring.

Which leads me to the next step; fill the lineart with a color that matches your character’s color palette:

I used a grayish-purple.

Now, I start coloring. Not all of it though. I keep the face empty for now:

It’s handy to keep a character reference to know what colors to use.

I add a layer, this time below the prime one. Here, I draw stuff like makeup:

I also drew the eyes in a different layer as well. Then I merge layers together and color the face:

Perfect! I finished the character! Now I can delete the prime sketch layer:

A thing I also do is draw lashes over the eyes with a dark color.

I’ll stop here for now, and maybe next time I’ll show how I add in the shadows and lighting. 🤡

Ask for the Bradley Bunch: Out of all the Bradleys, who can actually help do makeup for their gf/wife/fiancee?

Great question. First of all, that photo is giving Coach Bradley and Coach Bob, and I'm obsessed. That being said, Coach Bradley would be terrible at trying to do Kitten's makeup for her. Like you really wouldn't even want to see that. I don't think Roo would be very good either. Beer Boy wouldn't be too bad, because he spent several years in a fraternity house full of guys who lived for Halloween and costume parties. He was somehow the resident makeup applicator, and he'd have Sugar looking halfway decent if he tried his hand with her cosmetics.

But the clear winner is Daddy. He painted Princess's nails for their wedding, and he did a beautiful job. He also got her to warm his cock and then made an absolute mess of the kitchen. He's very patient when it comes to this sort of thing, and if he couldn't figure it out on his own, he'd be more than willing to watch a youtube tutorial after Princess helped him figure out how to use the app on his phone.

The Bradley Bunch

[padfoot-lupin77]

modern!marauders

Remus would ready every Greek myth retelling and leave detailed reviews on what was wrong with each one (he’s grumpy that way)

Sirius would be an Instagram/tiktok icon and all comments on their posts are either “hair and makeup tutorial asap!!” or “when are you posting you hot boyfriend again??”

James hosting Disney movie nights every weekend, making homemade snacks he’s learned from his mom and sometimes sharing the recipes online

Peter downloading all chess apps, setting the mode to hard and still beating all the systems until the owners of the apps start messaging him like dude no one is supposed to be able to beat our computer

[cocoa-rococo]

miscellaneous things i think could be good (or just funny) in a modern freakazoid reboot

dexter has a small friend group he plays dnd and other games with (because help him, this boy needs some legitimate friends)

more of dexter and freakazoid interacting with each other, being able to see how their internal communication works. bonus if freak can just. pop up on dexter's computer or phone to chat with him

a new villain or plot device based on generative ai, messing with freakazoid's sense of what's true and false (possibly deadpan? the early villain in the s1 finale?)

an episode on just how exactly to do a freakazoid reboot. freak himself is in the studio trying to find the best pitch to turn into a show, and even in the writing room, telling people that no, actually, he'd never say that, have you even SEEN the original show --

a whole episode's running joke of being sponsored by an mmorpg (with 20% off if the viewer uses the code RPGFREAK20XX). freak goes after the game's creators near the episode's end when he gets sick of the interruptions

valerie returns with a bit of a larger role, being steph's friend and possibly becoming the previously cut-from-production witch girl (because we need more women in this show)

short joke of freakazoid stopping a fight to tell someone who's playing a video loudly without headphones to stop it, it is DRIVING him UP the WALL. GEEZ

fanboy makes a return, and introduces his little sister: a freakazoid fan who's a little too into him and her favorite fandom ships. freak wants nothing to do with her, her brother, and her "intense interest with cargo and freighters"

cobra queen has an online shop where she makes snake-themed jewelry and does makeup tutorials. freakazoid is happy to support small businesses. he is not happy when she still uses her massive pet serpents to break into stores to steal things

gutierrez, with the internet taking off, also deals in developing software at apex. the new social media app they make leeches info from others to sell, but its main use is to find, tag, and track freakazoid wherever he goes

one of the villain's plans involve those fridges that come with a touchscreen and built-in wifi. imagine their surprise when freak is able to zap inside. he's on one of the shelves eating food and asking for condiments

an episode where lobe's scheme is based on one of those viral, seemingly silly mobile games everyone plays (flappy bird, candy crush, cookie clicker, etc). even the show's staff are taken with it. the narrator interrupts the program at one point to mention that he will no longer be announcing things because he's too busy playing the game himself

freakazoid learns about vr being a thing, and becomes a cryptid by popping into random games and streams. there's a whole short done like a found footage film or documentary based on people's attempt to find him

freak does a parody of youtuber apology videos for a segment, saying sorry to the viewer. by the end, it's clear he's badly reading off a script, and admits he doesn't even know what he's apologizing for

cave guy's plan for an episode being intimidating various scholars, professors, and newspapers to hide articles and research behind a paywall (which goes directly to him, of course). freak learns about it because dexter needs to write a paper for class, and needs to race against the clock to get his sources unlocked before its due

a short based on dexter trying his hand at streaming games. he ends up temporarily famous for his really well-done "custom freakazoid vtuber model" (it's just freak himself)

a short based on longhorn trying to get into nashville by becoming a music influencer. he does not get far

you-know-who has happily settled into his role as an internet creepypasta. there's an episode where freakazoid needs to follow a string of disappearances, linked with a recent internet "challenge" and posts trailing off after saying candlejack, which is harder than it s --

[finalctutorg]

I think Dyce would use Twitter and Tumblr, Ethel would use tik tok, Minesock would also use Twitter and youtube shorts (he refuses to download another app that does the same thing as yt shorts), Brayan would use instagram and youtube for makeup tutorials and watch those "aesthetic haul" videos, Traz would use tik tok with auto scroll because he doesnt find anything else in life barely entretaining, Ethel would entretain minions with tik toks or cute mammals videos idk thats just my perspective

[eternal444angel]
