Muffin is the Bluey equivalent of Crosshair

SHUT UP. IT MAKES SENSE.

ALSO I'M DRUNK AND IT'S MY ANNIVERSARY. I LOVE U, TEXAS TECH, YOU DELIGHTFUL ENGINEERING DORK YOU. YOU REFUSE TO LOOK AT MY TUMBLR AND I REFUSE TO LOOK AT YOUR SEARCH HISTORY. IF THAT AIN'T 21ST CENTURY LOVE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

NOW WHERE WAS I?!?!?!

Ah, yes. Muffin and Crosshair.

Not the initial star of the show? Check.

A spoiled entitled lil thing that has a volatile relationship with authority? Check.

Comes into their own after being an absolutely awful piece for a few episodes? Check.

Mean to their siblings when alone but helpful when it finally calls for it? Check.

A force of due vengeance and righteousness when needed? Check. I mean have y'all SEEN 'Grannymobile'?!

They both wear grey and black, check, DUH.

Naw fam. For real. I don't know why I'm talking like the students I mentor but I digress.

Muffin. Crosshair. Same character arc.

Now, someone give her a granny scooter so she can wreak havoc on the Empire or set Hemlock or fire or hit CX-2 with a purse, I don't know.

Bought at my local thrift store, I haven't fully read this, but it covers a variety of dog breeds and wild canine species and is geared towards kids. It's incredibly adorable, and I'm going to use it as reference/inspiration for my own educational materials that I want to make!

Okay, here’s a sign that I need to fucking go to therapy already: I’m starting to miss academia

[g1rlr0b1n]

Any headcanons about Jon Kent and/or Damian Wayne?

I'm gonna focus some older damijon headcanons so that this post doesn't go on forever 😅

Sleeping Habits

Jon sleeps best when he focuses in on Damian's heartbeat. He still has night terrors about his time as Ultraman's prisoner but if he can listen to Damian's heartbeat until it lulls him back to sleep, he feels safe. This continues on into his adult life.

Damian inherited Jon's old Superboy jacket after Jon came back aged up and he sleep with it next to his pillow like a security blanket (but if anyone asks, he'll deny it). Damian stops doing this when Jon begins sleeping over because now his pillows smell like Jon and that's all he really wanted, that feeling of knowing he's around.

Dating History

Jon dates a lot in his youth, he dated Irma, then Jay, then several more people before finally dating Damian in his early 30s. He likes dating, he likes the thrill of a new relationship but after the cliché feelings of romance have worn off, he has a bad habit of becoming distant until the other person just ends things with him. This hasn't happened with Damian because Damian doesn't let him get bored lol...also because their love is stronger than feelings of passion. It's a genuine love and friendship.

Damian didn't start dating seriously until after college. He'd had crushes but they weren't really a sexual thing, more like something he thought he was supposed to do and wanting to feel loved. He tried to give it the ol' college try with Maps but even she knew it wasn't going to work out; they're still really good friends though (and only two years "wasted"). Honestly, she figured out his preferences before he did and convinced him to ask Jon out. Silver lining is, Damian introduced her to Colin and when they got married they fought over who got to have him as their best man...she won. (yes Maps and Colin are one of my crack ships lol)

College

Damian actually convinced Jon to give college another try, which he does. They end up going to Star City University together (because it's neutral) and were even roommates. It was awkward for Jon at first since he was an older freshman but he's a people person so the age gap didn't stay weird for long. It did get tiring telling the freshman, "no, I can't buy you alcohol. I'm not trying to get expelled". He ends up getting a PhD in Biochemistry.

Damian had not been excited to continue his education until he managed to convince Jon to do it with him. He decided to go the Veterinary route because "people get on his nerves" and he wanted to save on his own vet bills (practical). When their majors took them in separate directions they still stayed as roommates. Damian and Jon didn't date in college so it did get under Damian's skin to see Jon date other people, but at the time he didn't really understand why (retrospect is 20/20).

Careers

Jon had been nervous about not following his parent's footsteps but with Damian's encouragement Jon goes into applied research and gets a job at S.T.A.R labs. He writes articles of his findings frequently, so it's not like the ol' writing genes went completely to waste. His parents do like to joke "where did we go wrong with you?" about his very different career path but it's all in jest, they are very proud of him.

Damian gets his veterinary medical degree but later decides to go back to school to get a general medical degree (he has a change of heart in his mid-30s). He is still primarily a Vet but he wanted to be able to help his family out as well since Alfred was gone and...so was Leslie now too. Damian also does a lot of extra research regarding alien biology on the side, he can't get a degree in it, but he's currently one of only a handful of people on Earth that would be able to operate on Jon or any other Kryptonian should they need it.

The Multiverse

Damian and Jon are a rare phenomena within the Multiverse; that are what is regarded as, "True Soulmates". Even on Earths that do not have both a Damian and Jon their fates are still intertwined. A world without both spells loneliness for the the other and more often than not, catastrophe for that world. (I'm actually in the process of writing a whole series about this. The first preview was posted earlier this month. Earth 3: Into the Owls Nest)

[thotsfortherapy]

i've been reflecting on my time in uni, and while i think it was a great experience and was worth it for me, i also want to reiterate that not everyone's paths are going to look the same, and that is a good thing. here's a list of things my friends are currently doing:

undergrad -> masters, and phd in clinical psychology (SO HARD to get into, they are already making waves in clinical research!)

undergrad in psych, masters in counselling (side business of art and tattooing)

dropped out after 3rd year to become a farmer

dropped out after 1 year of engineering to work full time at a hardware store, eventually went back to school with the hopes of starting their own business

is in the process of dropping out of university and pursuing something completely different

did university at home, graduated, still at home but with a fiance and a cat now lol

never went to university, stayed home, did therapy, and learned a trade

went to school, got a business degree, and decided that they preferred working at mcdonalds in a small town and supporting their partner's education

me: moving across the country to have a city girl moment and hopefully do an online program to become a counsellor

and this is just a handful of examples of the people in my circle... none of them are failures, they've all found success in ways that matter to them. i think it's very easy to get caught up in the idea that once you get out of highschool, you have to go to university, you have to move out of your parent's house, you have to get a job... but you don't have to do anything. you just gotta live, be a decent person, and love the people around you

[celestie0]

what do you think about grad school and maybe getting a masters or phd? like for you😭 i’m curious what more do you feel about academia

hiii bb!! ouu yeah i think with the way things are in job market rn, at least for a science degree, having a masters is a MUST and phd too if you want to teach or go into research...just an undergraduate degree for any STEM job i have noticed doesn't suffice unless you're like a comp sci major or have hella connections or something lmfaooo (or if you're a trust fund baby)

i'm actually going to med school so my four years of undergrad were spent working towards that goal, and not really with thoughts of phd or masters, but i did think about doing a masters during my gap year (which would've been this past year) since my school offered a few one years masters programs that i was interested in. it was gonna be a sort of back up plan for me in case i didn't get in anywhere, but ultimately i just had faith in my application n didn't want to spend money on a year of masters tuition haha

but it's hard for me to say for other fields, such as humanities, on what i think of the necessities of masters/phd programs...i'd imagine it's the same though, you'd probably need to pursue a lot of higher education to be qualified to teach or publish etc. in premed, you've got options of going to nursing school, PA school, med school, so i guess there are ways to pivot that don't involve masters programs if you still wanted to be a healthcare provider

i did watch an interesting video recently about the whole trap of the phd/masters pipeline, where students get a degree and think they'll be able to land a decent job post grad from wishful thinking, spend lots of time unsuccessful in the job market, then scramble to apply to grad school, and then even if they feel as though the phd program they're in isn't really giving them what they want from it, they don't want to quit because at that point it'll feel like sunken cost, and it damages their mental health and motivation and is basically this recurring loop where the system forces students to continuously stay in school and do excessive amount of research/work for criminally low compensation, just to become overqualified candidates for barely minimally paying jobs. ofc all in the name to benefit the insanely rich and wealthy. honestly most grad students i meet are stressed and so incredibly jaded, i can't imagine that it's easy on them at all. a lot of universities hardly pay them any sort of livable wage for the work that they do

as for academia in general, i think it's worth it to become educated, as it can open doors. obviously there are different paths for all people, some people choose not to go to school, some people go to trade school, others go to school much later in life. i remember i worked w this one doctor who was a mechanic for thirty years and he went back to school to get his undergrad degree and then went to med school, all while he was in his 50s, and now he's a practicing physician! i thought that was really incredible and inspiring. school is something that's there for you whenever you want it, need it, or feel ready for it. i think it's worthy to invest in your education, but you have to go into it knowing that you're going to make the most of it. in that, pursue higher education if you have a plan of why you're there and what you're going to do when you're there, and not just for the sake of earning a degree or putting off working because you'd rather just stay a student. the reason why someone from harvard might work at the same job as someone who went to community college is ultimately because the person who went to CC might've made more of their experience n harnessed connections/skills n probably had a much more clear idea of what they wanted to do with the education they were earning compared to someone who might've been coasting through a reputable school because once they got in, that was all they cared about (lol i sound bitter saying this, no hate to big name schools, but it's such a common misconception that just because you get a degree from like an ivy league, you'll be set for life. and same applies vice versa. some of the smartest ppl i know are people who did CC for two years and then transferred to a four year university. they saved hella money and got the same degree in the end, with the same exact if not better job opportunities. similarly, i've worked at clinics/hospitals where some of the doctors went to UCLA and others went to caribbean med school, but they all ended up at the same place in the end)

GOD THIS BECAME SO LONG i swear whenever i answer asks on my computer it becomes an essay loool but yea these are just my general opinions about college, higher education, and academia in general? i hope this answers and that i didn't misinterpret the question hahah but thank u for the ask bb!!

[scoobydoodean]

I think some of the "Sam thinks Dean is stupid" stuff comes the repeat "joke" of him constantly being surprised when Dean reads or knows literary references lol

Sure. You know what I think this is also a function of though? Dean saying things like, "Dude, could you be any more gay?" in 3.05 because Sam remembers the story of Cinderella. Actively supporting a narrative that he does not like reading or at least certain types of books (I actually think maybe Dean isn't a huge fan of classic fairy tales for various reasons but I digress). Also Dean often frames Sam as the researcher and himself as the do-er. Even in season 1, where Dean's competence at hunting alone (both the researching side and the actual killing part) is very evident, in Scarecrow, he jokes, "I’m actually on my way to a local community college. I’ve got an appointment with a professor. You know, since I don’t have my trusty sidekick geek boy to do all the research." He allows this narrative of himself versus Sam to persist, except when he doesn't and goes, "What? I read" ("Baby" is one example). (Really he just likes keeping Sam on his toes and constantly turning the tables to remind him that there are things he does not know jhvdshggvzhsdvhsa.)

Dean seems to be an avid reader of fiction and he extensively incorporates his consumption of media (watched, read) into pop culture references throughout the series. He loves a good story. He is also an extremely competent researcher when he wants to be... but there are also suggestions that Dean most of the time doesn't particularly enjoy the research grind. Sam? Well—he does seem to have a fondness for fairy tales specifically, but he's that nerd who looks at a call number from the Library of Congress and goes, "This references sciences and probably birds specifically". Also the kind of nerd who would probably work up a whole reference system for the bunker library, which I think Dean would do if he had to--but he wouldn't enjoy doing it and I think Sam is the kind of person who would actively enjoy doing that.

Dean's relationship to research comes across very ADHD to me personally in the mid to late series. Like he can suddenly be sitting for hours doing research if that is what he NEEDS to be doing in that moment and there's some real urgency to that need. But most of the time I think looking through tomes for hours and hours searching for an obscure spell is not what he would like to be doing, and Sam kind of enjoys that shit. I also think perhaps Sam has trouble understanding the difference between the two ways he and Dean relate to books and how both of them like reading but for different reasons, and that not enjoying what he enjoys about research does not mean you don't enjoy reading books generally. But Dean also contributes to this narrative of "Sam is the researcher, and I do not like books", like in 13.17 (because they are about to spend hours and hours researching) saying very sarcastically, "I love books!"

As an aside though also, thinking your brother doesn't like to read also doesn't mean you think he's stupid. There are many reasons not to like reading. Facts about me: I loved to read novels as a child and now I hate reading novels. I can enjoy reading only VERY selectively, have a very short attention span for reading certain types of materials, and haven't picked up a novel in years because I don't want to. But I also have a Masters degree and am working on a PhD. I also don't believe formal education is always a great indicator of intelligence, but neither is not reading books. When Sam gets really scathing and jokes about how "Yes I read books without pictures even", I don't think that is something he would say if he genuinely believed Dean was stupid.

[nohkalikai]

how's the masters going? thoughts on academia?

the master's went! i feel nothing! i hated it! i somehow finished my damn dissertation. i don't really have a working relationship with my supervisor and i don't like him very much so i've been slow wrt getting his comments on my manuscript (i wanna publish, submitted a protocol and everything)

as for thoughts on academia...my key takeaway from all my time in undergrad and masters is not to take academia seriously at all.

(these are all thoughts i've been expressing over time so a lot of my anger and frustration has dissipated, but there are strays here and there lol)

i think more than any intellectual thoughts i have, i'm led by my experience and emotions here. my time in educational institutions + interacting with research fellows, teaching assistants and profs has been absolutely disastrous for how i perceive the world, the people around me, and myself - undid all the grounding and pragmatism of my childhood as well as the idealism of my adolescence.

especially studying here in the UK, the lack of critical thought is absolutely MIND BLOWING. what really ground my gears was *just* how racist profs can be; not overtly so (though some were), but just in how resistant they were to students questioning any paradigms + in how they never acknowledged the power and history behind knowledge production -- doubly surprising since my field is heavy on social science methods and cross cultural competency. and these are the people who get put on boards and panels for studies in the global south. meeting experts irl in some of the most renowned centres and programmes for my field...girl what a joke.

the farce of it all aside, academics are truly some of the most depressing people to hang around. truly corrosive to the spirit. i thought it was just a problem w my field (mental health) but it really isn't! i suppose people doing business or finance PhDs would complain less though. but yeah it all seems to be a sort of insecurity olympics where academics rile against corporations and corporate employees...while behaving in the exact same ways in the exact same work conditions! all while being in massive denial about it. AND while looking down at the same world we analyse from a glass house, without a shred of self awareness.

admittedly i'm still reeling from my biggest regret in life so far (this damn master's degree) but i know that this anger and bias arose out of something genuine. i wanted to quit my field and quit academia for good after i was done w my dissertation lmao. but with time and perspective, i've simmered down a bit. still, i think the only way i can survive in my field and in academia is to treat it like fun playtime. because ultimately that is what it is, like with any field: a bunch of white ppl in the global north treat the world as their cute little playgrounds where they have a silly goofy time while the rest of us break our fucking backs to get anywhere.

(i am taking a big fat break from academia...a far cry frm 19 year old me who was very committed to wanting to do research in this field and was convinced that he had the grit to make it through)

[hearth-and-veil]

hey! I lurk sometimes on your blog and I was wondering what a/your Red Tent is? :)

many well wishes!

I got this right as I logged on to procrastinate finding an opening poem for the RT this week 🤣 Thank you for the assistance.

A Red Tent, Moon Lodge, or Women's Circle, can have a lot of variation based on who's running it. At its most basic level, it is a meeting where women can just exist together, without the expectation to perform for men. Because women act very differently when we are truly outside of men's presence.

Some are just that, without really anything else added. Mine is more spiritual in nature and fairly structured. It's an event, rather than a get together. We have a topic or theme each meeting in which we discuss something important to women's wellbeing. One was on Divine Female Rage. We had one on connecting to your female body through movement and breath. This year is focused on an exploration of the Divine Feminine Archetypes (The Queen is this Sunday!) Future meetings will include the conceptualizion and healing of the womb space, and healing the Mother Wound.

We do things like allow everyone to present art and writing. We sing and chant together. We have a radical listening exercise, which usually results in a lot of tears because it's an incredible release to just be heard - and then we usually hug it out lol! We eat. We laugh. We talk. We challenge each other and debate, and we come to agreements and smile.

Of course, the celebration of and education on the female body are also critical cornerstones! That's the "red" in Red Tent, the "moon" in Moon Lodge. Body shaming is absolutely not allowed and we LOUDLY correct each other over that. No apologies! No shame! We talk about the weird hairs and the bumps and the chunks and the amazing things our bodies can do.

In the future, we may add Women's Rites and Rituals to mark important events in our lives. For example, I did a mothering ceremony for one of our members. New homes, new businesses, degrees...there aren't established Rites for those and I want to start them.

It is a space for women, by women, about women. Often, it's accused of being a man-hating event, but the truth is we rarely talk about men. The patriarchy, yes, but not men. Men just can't fathom we have anything to talk about but them 😉

It's also a place to heal the divisions that are forced on women to keep us from class consciousness. I'm a business-minded childfree woman. I absolutely don't allow pronatalist rhetoric in my Circle. I also absolutely do not allow the denigration of mothers. I (white) am getting a consultant to help me make sure I'm properly supporting BIPOC women in my group. We're GED-PhD (literally). All religions, all cultures, all creeds - I want to tear down the walls and make a road. Lofty ideals, but I mean them sincerely.

So that's probably a bit of a meandering answer but it's an honest one. I can go more into the history and stuff if you want, too.

[fairycosmos]

omg how did you land your job? it sounds like something i’d like to do bc i can do anything on time from my house but i’m not reliable to show up everyday because of my symptoms :((

i’m so happy you found something that works for u 💗

thank you!! <3 tbh it was a super slow and gradual process - im a copywriter/digital marketer btw but basically a few years ago i started building a freelance copywriting portfolio as a side job and kind of developing my digital media, content management/design + photoshop skills (all using free online resources, guides and writing articles literally just writing copy in google docs) and then finally after a few months i got a job interning at a digital marketing agency (i think it was at the start of 2022), worked there for months until the contract ended and then started sending my copy out to random freelance agencies that were hiring on for copywriter positions on indeed and got a bunch of freelance work to tide me over while i interviewed for full-time positions, got rejected 8392392 billion times and just did freelance + TA jobs (im qualified in childcare nd that was my main gig before this) until i finally found a place that was willing to take me on after 3 interviews in mar 2023.....i think putting literally any skills you have on your resume and honestly just totally overselling yourself and your abilities is the way to go lol like obviously dont say you have a PHD if you dont but i thought for a long time i could only put education-based skills and certificates on there until i started branching out into the world of freelance and just saying fuck it.....very hard and long process and ultimately i still got lucky that this current company chose to take me on but yeah it was a lot of curating my abilities outside the conventional path. if you can volunteer anywhere doing admin or website management that would look great on your resume as well like truly. also if you have any sort of careers advice services in your area plzzzzzz utilise them as they helped me a lot with learning how to market myself and making my CV more attractive and all that crap. wishing you luck and sending a massive hug <3

Academics are weird with DID

Note: The whole System has been pretty active in a stagnant way (I know this makes no sense I'm sorry lol) and we're feeling more like parts today than distinct alters so we will be using "I" to refer to the collective and using parts language.

I've had significantly bad luck with higher education. I have an associate's I can't use, both due to developing disabilities while getting the degree and because they won't give me my diploma due to things they admit they did on purpose (also why I can't get my credits transferred). My very first college insists I've never attended and so can't send me any credits to transfer despite having photos of me there. Which doesn't surprise me because I found out from someone else that my yearly renewal was denied because I was disabled. My last college took away my entire straight A, full ride semester because my scholarship agency fucked up but wouldn't take responsibility.

It's been a fucking lot. But after three years, we're trying again.

We're working on getting into a program in the spring that would allow us to get a job with WAY better pay that might actually pay us enough to live. It would only be a year and that could support us through our actual degree, but we have a few pre-tests we have to take. Studying for them has been absolutely wild.

Take biology. One part (Em) is massively academic and thrives in things like science but tends to struggle with a few concepts, particularly if they're math-oriented as I struggle with dyscalculia. But evidently the nice part of DID is that not all of me does? We came back after an outing, some part looked at the notes we'd taken and the quiz scores and wrote down a few impossibly clarifying details and definitions that Em had really been struggling with.

And then I just sat back like. Huh. That's a thing. Evidently my academic memory is also fragmented, which isn't something I'd ever considered before. But this part just brought this information up like it was nothing where Em had been swearing under their breath with frustration trying to wrap their part of the mind around the subject.

It makes sense though, in a way. Em was involved with a significant CSA perpetrator throughout my Junior year of High School and I have very, very little memory of that as a whole. While our grades have always been on the higher side of passing (honestly besides Junior and Senior year in high school due to ongoing abuse, I'd mostly been a straight A student, even in college), I'm starting to recall details that show that DID was at play long before I knew about it. A grade C on an English exam in middle school when Ashley was host but had known the source material inside and out and couldn't explain why she'd chosen the wrong answers "she" had. My AP bio teacher insisting that I'd never turned numerous things in and was trying to force a D on the whole year.

It just makes so much sense now but this is the first time post-Syscovery that this situation has come up and it's been ... both frustrating and enlightening. I think the knowledge will help me and individual parts stop beating myself up for not knowing something when maybe it's just compartmentalized somewhere else. I think it'll aid in System relationships, communication and exploration in trying to find specific answers that specific parts don't hold. I know it'll cause frustration (lots and lots and lots) but I think overall this might be a good thing and help us work more cohesively as a whole, at least where academics are concerned.

If anyone has any advice for having a CDD and successfully making it through a bachelor's (and then a Master's and then a PhD ... ) I'd be VERY grateful for tips ways to navigate this. Especially Systems who deal with AuDHD on top.

[suffercerebral]

No offense but why are you getting a degree that you think is useless?

so i'm studying anthropology which is a lot of people's definition of a useless degree lol. and my goal is to pursue at the very least a masters if not a phd to make it a non-useless degree (i don't agree with the concept of a useless degree bc there's something in everything but then there are the Stigmas) HOWEVER. my college experience thus far has been less than ideal. i'm already in my fifth year with at least 1 more to go for undergrad because shit happens and not everyone can do it in 4 years. and i am open to the idea that i might be too burnt out to continue after undergrad. i sure as shit hope that doesn't happen. i used to want to be a forensic pathologist, i wanted to go to med school i had such high aspirations for myself and to have to live with not achieving anywhere near that will make me kill myself tbh. i still wanna be like a forensic anthropologist or something specialized like that in the anthro field working with the dead n such. it's gonna take such a long time to achieve for me that i fear i won't ever continue education and my bachelors will be useless

[imanes]

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m being sexually harassed at the minute but this guy in my research project can be a little heavy handed in his hints that he is interested in me and tonight he briefly touched my thigh and my back and I really had to clench my fist lest I punched him in the face anyway lol a month ago I went to a conference on sexual harassment in higher education and this girl was getting a PhD studying the field of international trips for conferences and stuff as places of boundary crossing and she’s definitely on to something. again I don’t think he is being a creep but I never respond well to typical flirty shit. I ended up turning to my other table neighbour and we spoke about how much we hated having a man in our space (she divorced recently) I hope he caught my drift -_-

[gentil-minou]

"I've gotten so many fancy letters next to my name even I forget" what

Lol i was making a joke about my career because you can get so many acronyms next to it depending ong your education and experience, like MA PhD MD etc. I won't say the exact liscensure I have because I don't like giving personal info but in the US most therapists will have some sort of credentials with fancy letters depending on the state there's stuff like MFT, LPC, LMHC, MHP etc. So basically my name in official emails and documents is something like "Gentil Minou, ABC, DE, LMNOP, XYZ" and all those letters mean something sjsjfjja

[anomaly-beans]

o/ puts these in the inbox like gold into a dragons hoard

forrrr kittie and merry. i like them. watches them skitter around in a rose garden

📚 BOOKS — what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

🩸 DROP OF BLOOD — what is your oc's blood type? (<- assuming you dont have actual blood types for em so adjectives also work. like tasty)

Thank you for copying the questions so I didn’t have to dig for the post again 💀

Anyway. Rose garden?! Why would you put Merry in there?! Hell on enby technique?!

📚 - what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

I’m actually not quite sure what education they both have. I know that Merry most definitely has more higher education than Kittie has and went extra years in a university. Most likely a phd at most? Who knows in what though.

Kittie meanwhile I don’t think that woman went to university. Lol.

🎻- does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/ virtuoso/etc?

Yeah Merry can play a couple actually! They know piano and in modern aus they play bass guitar! Mostly they can play violin (intermediate probably) but they’re a bit rusty. Something about playing that instrument… they can’t play too often as it regularly brings tears to their eyes.

They used to play alongside their brother… back home…

Kittie meanwhile I have no idea. Mentally cracking up at the idea of her trying and failing to play piano though 💀

🩹- does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

Merry has ADHD, but otherwise nothing else. They do have pains and aches from past injuries, but it isn’t very strong.

Kittie meanwhile… I haven’t thought about anything for her. This’ll come as a surprise but she’s still a fairly new character and I haven’t written as much for her yet!

🩸- what is your oc's blood type? (&- assuming you dont have actual blood types for em so adjectives also work. like tasty)

Huh. Never thought about that before.

But my immediate instinct was to give Merry -O. Universal donor type blood :)

Kittie I’m thinking… A+. She got a good grade in blood! 😁
