There’s something to be said about how Emmrich canonically has anxiety but we never really see him ever panic.

Like he says in game that how magic is done in Nevarra is a lot of times involving those breathing exercises and stuff so we can wager that he’s good at clearing his head when he’s in a pinch but anyone who has PANIC attacks (me) knows that like half the time you don’t really feel it coming, it just happens.

And Emmrich kinda says that to Rook, how his fear is triggered or can be triggered at any time but he can also speak so casually about it because time has worn him to be able to do that. So whenever I’m writing Emmrich I accidentally imprint a little bit of myself in there (oof) where he can put on a good face and really sell how in control he is.

But on the inside? Mama he is WRECKED cuz that’s so me it’s crazy.

So anyways, the point of this is I’m very fascinated by the idea of a story where Emmrich’s panic quite literally comes from nothing at all. And if it did come from something, the something is so innocuous that no “regular” person would ever consider it panic inducing and maybe on any other day of the week it isn’t for Emmrich but today it was.

And that’s all that matters.

Seeing his reflection in the mirror and having the sudden memory of he used to look. Bumping into a desk and realizing he bruises easier now. A rock sliding down a cliff. Things like that. Small things, meaningless things that become much bigger shadows.

I used to have a fear of sudden piano music for like 2 years in high school. But I was also in concert band.

I can’t help be see the similarity with a man who’s afraid of death and yet is surrounded by it. And how simply the exposure and flow of time did what it could to ease. And sometimes it’s done purposefully.

Can you imagine Emmrich sitting in front of a skeletal construct as an apprentice, staring into its empty eye sockets and knowing that inside of him that’s what he looks like? That that’s what awaits him? Heart stammering in his chest, ears ringing, jaw tight, breathing both too fast and too hard. Staring until he’s about to lose consciousness and then falls to the ground while gasping for air…

And then 15 minutes later he just gets up and keeps working on the construct again. Whenever characters canonically have anxiety or panic disorders, my mind always goes to moments like that. The ways that they suffer to cope because that’s sadly a big part of it. Sort of like exposure therapy I guess. It’s just very interesting to me.

Tis The Damn Season! (ADOC IWTV Holiday Special)

Summary:

Join the Unholy Family as they traverse their first holiday season after the events of Part 1. From domestic bliss, swapping gifts, family bonding activities, a reality check or two, and a mistletoe, grab your hot cocoa and a snuggie as I allow a few moments of fluffy goodness with our favorites! Don't worry, the subplots be subplotting per usual. The questions remain: Who is the best gift giver in the family (and why is it Louis?), why is Claudia scared of ice skating, why are Sybelle and Benji top vampire-grandkid material, and where on earth is Daniel Molloy on this sacred Christ-Hannukah night? (If you don't squeal with joy at several points, I don't know my readers anymore.) ***This is a part of the series, "A Deal of Consequence", and takes part AFTER Vol 1. While it will likely be confusing if you haven't read part 1, it will be fun either way. Enjoy for confusing holiday vampiric fun independently, or sweetly suffer if you are an ADOC survivor. <3

Here it is my loves! As promised, and thankfully in the nick of time, your fluff-filled Holiday special! Enjoy some tooth-rotting fun with the unholy family! But don't worry, it's still me, and I have to make sure to include lots of bonus foreshadowing(:

Happy Christmas! Hanukkah Sameach! Happy Kwanzaa! I look forward to seeing your thoughts and hope you enjoy laughing, crying, and squealing as I did writing it!

PS.

Missiles and Meal Service: The Hidden Toll of Flying in War-zones

Common occupational hazards in aviation; the not so new flight deck stressors would encompass turbulence, delayed pushbacks, and that one passanger having an issue with someone reclining their seat (this is so very common, believe me). Let’s not forget another one who thinks the seatbelt sign doesn’t apply to them while on active runway (because they are just itching for a snack they left inside their carry-on luggage in the overhead bin. Opens bin, then bag falls off on them and everyone around. SMH)

Back to business. Pilots and cabin crew flying over the Middle East lately, especially in and out of Qatar, well, there’s a new, less subtle source of anxiety: missile attacks. Who doesn’t know the news by now?

Yes, flying into Doha these days might involve dodging airspace closures, U.S. airbase targets, and the occasional Iranian and Israeli news. Glamorous, right?

Very.

While passengers worry about delayed in-flight meals and Wi-Fi speeds being too slow or disconnecting , the crew up front and in the aisles are dealing with something much much heavier: the psychological toll of flying through a region where geopolitics are very unpredictable, stormy, and always just over the horizon.

What Happened in Qatar Exactly, you ask?

In resent years, we’ve witnessed sensitive airspaces and in response, airlines have shut down their airspaces. Flights being rerouted faster than a teenager dodging chores have become commonplace, and airline dispatchers around the world had one collective panic attack.

Now just imagine this. Inflight, flight crew are prepping beverage carts while air defence systems light up the radar. Boom-Chaka-Boom! Just another day in the skies.

Cabin Pressure: Flying with a Side of Adrenaline

Yes, crew (deck crew and cabin crew) are trained to handle demarcates, but war is not an average Emmergency! It’s one thing to worry about fuel efficiency. It’s another to fly over a region where missiles are a real-time hazard.

There is a huge difference between trusting an aircraft, the team, and trusting geopolitics.

Constant anticipatory anxiety.

Hypervigilance, even on layovers.

The unsettling knowledge that their aircraft might share airspace with defense drones, military jets, and… well, more missiles.

Hospitality Meets Hostility

Cabin crew, as you know, are the face of calm, smile and all. Even so, smiling while you serve fish, beef and a gluten free meal on a flight skimming a conflict zone? That’s dark art right there.

Results:

Crew becoming emotionally disconnected from their jobs.

Guilt when evacuating people while others are left behind. 2020 clears throat!

Luxury inflight service inside a pressure cooker floating mid air at 40,000 feet while those on ground are ducking. Definately dystopian!

More Fuel, More Detours, More Fatigue

Yep! Practical stress:

Flights being rerouted to avoid hot zones, adding hours to duty time.

Longer flight hours mean more fatigue, which affects both performance and emotional bandwidth.

There’s no glamour-AT ALL in a 15 hour turnaround because there is no clearance to land.

What Airlines Are Maybe doing

Critical Incident Stress Management teams.

Therapy appointments.

Pre and post dispatch briefings.

Even so, lots of crews feel out of the loop. Why you ask?Because, you get the news that you’re flying a risky zone when you’re already on it.

Hidden Costs: Forget Fuel and Insurance

Mental Health RiskWhat It Looks LikePTSD or traumaFlashbacks, fawning, sleep interruptions, avoidanceBurnoutEmotional numbness, lack of purposeAnxietyReccuring worry, overanalysing proceduresIsolationFeeling detached and lack of support on layovers or at home

These risks don’t show up on a flight log, but hey, they impact safety, morale, and retention. We talk about maintaining aircraft fatigue limits. What about crew fatigue limits?

Where Do We Go From Here?

How about a Flight Plan for Mental Health in Conflict Zones:

Transparent Security Briefings.

Weight & balance before takeoff is paramount, so is mental health balance.

Flight Debriefs After High-Stress Flights.

Better Global Oversight, meaning ICAO, IATA and other relevant bodies must update protocols for mental wellness involving high-risk routes.

Bottom line, pilots and cabin crew are indeed professionals for they train, adapt, and make sure to get the job done. But, they are people too and not robots. People who fly into the world’s most dangerous zones with nothing more than a safety manual and nerves of steel.

We owe them patience, understanding, protection and genuine support as they navigate war zones with grit and grace.

Fly safe. Check on your crew friends, and just maybe skip the missile jokes during boarding.

//Whacks Khonshu This bad boy can fit so many weirdly specific hangups:

Khonshu has little interest in having an actual body. He doesn't like having a body, hates having a face that isn't inscrutable bone and/or animal features. The situation that M.oon Knight 2099 (this one) is in, where it's just Khonshu directly possessing a mummified body, is absolute hell to him. He'd very much rather be a ghost giving orders than being confined to rotting flesh. (You can see even there that his 'suit' doesn't even give the impression of a face or any features, just a moon emblem. I fkin' love that design.) But yeah as much as Khonshu wishes he could just jump into the human world and do stuff himself, the whole Avatar arrangement suits him a lot better. ... Even when his Avatars are unruly, or talk back, or call him a pigeon, or betray him for a crocodile.

Tag Dump because I'm tired of not having my tags handy.

Also NSFW headcanons because i forget my headcanons. I have headcanons but I only write smut when the stars align and two blood sacrifices have been made in my honor so no one needs to know these.

HIM's eyes go black when they c*m.

They are a nonbinary-shapeshifter but they prefer to have a pen*s.

Head game is insane.

They are EXTREMELY vain so when it comes to talking during its usually stuff like "you like my *blank*" "i know it feels good when i *blank*"

Believe it or not, HIM is a switch. They have no preference for either though. It's really just whatever they feel like at the moment.

They love to leave marks in visible spots.

Finally, the tags:

ooc. ｢ monster fucker simulator. ｣ ic. ｢ lace a lie with truth none is sweeter. ｣ him. ｢ creature most vile. ｣ mojo. ｢ prove yourself worthy to a worthless cause. ｣ musings. ｢ delights of pain and pleasure. ｣ headcanons. ｢ to kill a god. ｣ aesthetic. ｢ luxuries of devil to make angels weep. ｣ style. ｢ dipped with gold and blood. ｣ self promo. ｢ fall in decay. ｣ promo. ｢ succumb to your weakness. ｣ desires. ｢ the taste of the forbidden  ｣

body. ｢ all the better to eat you with. ｣ fc. ｢ evil always seeks to tempt. ｣ answers. ｢ look to the heavens and pray to devils. ｣ jojoisnomo. ｢ beautiful disaster i’ll eat you. ｣ mojo and him. ｢ own me i'll let you play the role. ｣ rebelpuff. ｢ what's the most you ever lost ｣

[vallorouslly]

New tag drop!

just for the basics, i have no ship tags yet and don't know if i will ever get any tbh

one set of tags at a time ❤️

[allthingsglittergold]

All of Gold's team are terrifying. Like I need to stress that for most other trainers that aren't Champions, any one of them would singularly class as an 'ace' by every metric.

But obviously his actual ace is his Feraligatr, Mojo, given to him as a Totodile by Professor Elm before he had him run the errand to Mr. Pokemon's house (which then turned into an entire five-year long Pokemon journey).

Mojo is the epitome of 'a trainer resembles their Ace'. He's calm and polite (knowing full well he's big and scary) but also isn't remotely shy about letting his feelings known in his own way. He's also the first to stand up for any percieved injustice or slight, just like Gold is.

Mojo has also grown significantly since he evolved; almost a foot in height (taking him to 8'2) and likely won't ever stop growing. Like all Feraligatr, this top-heavy nature means he's more comfortable being on all fours and he'll usually trot around like that outside of battle (or sometimes in battle).

With the exception of Winnie, Mojo's moveset is the most diverse and ever-changing out of Gold's lineup though it will often be physical based with a smattering of special moves as needed.

And, finally, Mojo is the eldest brother out of the clutch that also contained @missingstarter and @silveratonement's Feraligatr (though the difference is only by 10-20 seconds).

this album of dead kennedys covers by various artists goes SO HARD and I'm thinking of making a patch of the cover art for The Jest (denim battle vest)

1. Honeymoon Un Deux Trois - Luca Kaneshiro 2. 星 菫 (Star Violet) - Ali Project 3. L'Amour Looks Something Like You - Ali Project 4. La Llorena - Ángela Aguilar 5. Pequeña Ciudadana - Juan Fernando Velasco ft. El Puma

bonus: La Nave del Olvido - José José

It took some time trying to narrow these down without having them being solely piano pieces. I do play so that may be why I'm a little biased to it but the traditional guitar is a great weak spot of mine because of my dad. In fact, #5 is very special to my heart because my mom would sing it while my dad played in every party. Nowadays, I sing it with my dad instead alongside one other song. The bonus is a song I heard growing up my entire life (even Ema heard it growing up) so this is a classic in our household.

Also another little fun fact with #5, it is a traditional song from Ecuador that we call a pasillo. It's a traditional genre in Ecuador and something that I listened in all our parties aside from the classics in Salsa, Meregnue, Rancheras, Baladas and etc.

There’s something about guilt ridden HORNY Emmrich that just gets my brain turning. Idk how to explain it but that’s it. That’s all it takes.

[madanimalscientist]

Ok the joke about Bobby guest judging on Drag Race was funny but you know which mutants would absolutely slay as DR judges? (besides Jumbo Carnation who is kind of an obvious choice)

Emma Frost - style icon, I feel like she and Michelle Visage would get along really well actually

Roberto Da Costa (on either the US or Brasil, or por que não os dois?) - style, money, sense of humor, could probably win an X-Men reading challenge (def would do the best out of the New Mutants)

Storm - she is Mother

Northstar (on DR Canada) - Olympian, queer icon, and it'd be cute for him and Kyle both to guest judge

Betsy Braddock would be fun on DR UK as a guest judge given former model + now a superhero (tho I think Meggan would be hella fun to see on it, especially given her love of media)

Nightcrawler would be great at judging an acting/comedy challenge given his background and sense of heart/humor and also he's a total thirst trap and the queens deserve that. As do the viewers ;p

a look at sung's apartment

soft pastels in pink > yellow > purple > other colors

doesn't have the Biggest apartment. two bedrooms, the second is pretty small just to be used as a makeshift studio/guest room when needed

one bathroom that Is pretty nice though. values skincare and relaxing with a good bath and all that shit so he wants it to also be a comforting place

kinda messy but tries to keep it cleaner in the living room/kitchen

that applies to the style too. it's more like white with pops of pink yellow n purple

bedroom is a pastel nightmare filled with his heart's little desires, which mostly means full of so many knick knacks, pictures, fan memorabilia, and stuffed animals

loves fluffy rugs, rugs are Everywhere

he's cultivated his cute and pastel aesthetic over the last few years and really really loves his home. it makes him feel safe and warm and cozy

that said he sees a cutesy item anywhere and wrestles with himself on whether it's a necessary purchase (it almost never is and buying it only occurs maybe 5% of the time, but to be FAIR he sees a lot of cutesy shit so that's still a decent amount of things)

Hey Ken, I'll make this short and sweet as I don't know how to write a letter properly...

I’ve been working on this project where I’m exploring identity through color, and well… I can’t seem to settle on the right shade of you. You know, the way you exude that perfect golden beach energy -- it’s something I can’t quite capture on canvas. Can you describe the color of your soul, if you had to?

Catch you on the beach soon, Ken. (Artist Ken)

Hi Ken! 👋🏻 You’re here too? Dude, that’s so cool! Love it.

The color of my soul? Huh…gosh, you really are an artist through and through, Ken. I really need to think about this one because I don’t really know.

Well…my soul’s definitely got some light blue in there, like clear ocean blue.

And I like what you said about golden beach energy, that totally fits too!

And Barbie Land is like pretty ingrained in me, so I bet there’s some pink in there too.

There’s also summer grass green in my soul as well. That’s the part of my soul where the horses run wild.

And then there’s a purple that crackles through my soul like lightning. It’s not overpowering, but it’s still present.

I think that’s it. Does that help you, Ken?

Reply to @thessence - ASK

Their dedication to the craft was noted easily with the prized trophies and certificates. It was a beautiful sight, to know that just one of the many amazing talents of this company was working on something he did all those years ago. To take in the sight of their walls, the office space, some of the work on their screen but not to stare for too long. Claude was in awe of it all nonetheless. Raising his hand to take theirs in return, both hands at that to really show his appreciation in a warm handshake and pat. "Forgive me for disturbing you, haha. I couldn't help but have a little peek at the magic here." Meetings were plentiful, a lot of things he could leave to his Management but sometimes, like these, he had to come by to make sure everything was just as it was envisioned in his head.

Smiling all the while, Claude was with nothing but a passing joy cloud. "That's right, a long one to correct translations and double check everything planned is going smoothly. I feel out of my depths at times, I'm just a writer so it don't feel right for me to correct others, hoh, but it's in the job." Though it was all part of the process it seemed, this world of novella to animation, it was a wondrous process. "Ah, I mustn't hold you up." Hands were to be released soon enough, instead returning to his sides and bag strap as he thought upon something and blinked with stars in his lashes. "I'll buy the floor lunch, would you be able to find out what everyone would enjoy? I'll pay for it, so order whatever is the consensus."

Claude wouldn't mind it at all, if anything it'd be a nice atmosphere and to make sure the people here get something much wanted in their stomachs for when the time came.

Happy 26th Anniversary, The Powerpuff Girls

Today is the 26th Anniversary of...

The Powerpuff Girls!

It had been 26 years of when Professor Utonium had used sugar, spice, and everything to create the perfect, little girl... until Mojo Jojo when he was a little monkey made Utonium accidentally added an ingredient, to the concoction... Chemical X!

Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born! Using their ultra superpowers, Blossom, commander and the leader, Bubbles, the joy and the laughter, and Buttercup, the toughest fighter had dedicated their lives to fighting crimes and the forces of evil!

They were called bug-eyed freaks at first since the movie where their origins were created, but when Mojo Jojo was attacking the city with his army, they became heroes defending the City of Townsville.

We must thank Craig McCracken for making these three into the lovable Cartoon Network All-Stars from our childhood.

So for today, I'm making an open roleplay for these three perfect little girls, and adding them to my multi-muse list.
