@chrumblr-whumblr day 3! The prompt is "carrying".

Fandom: Epic (2013)

-

Ronin flew through the boggan base at speeds that would have impressed even Nod. Every so often he came across a boggan or two that spotted him quick enough to try and fight, but they posed no challenge. Or maybe they did. He was so focused on his mission, it was all a blur.

He hated Wrathwood.

He was heading for the lowest level of the enemy's stronghold, knowing that's where he'd find what he was looking for. It was a trap, he was certain, and he was walking right into it. He had to. Mandrake had gone too far this time.

Ronin finally jumped off his shimmering mount as he reached the lowermost level, not waiting for the bird to land before leaping to the ground.

“Nod,” he hissed, making his way down the long tunnel, peering into cells made of metal and rotting tree roots. “Nod, where are you?”

He was in such a hurry he almost missed the slight gleam of green armor in one corner of a cell, and a person-shaped lump in the other. He pulled out an arrow and used it to saw away at the weakest root he could find.

Crude, but effective.

He shoved the two pieces of root out of his way and rushed to the back of the cell, kneeling before a familiar figure.

“Nod,” he whispered, rolling him gently onto his back. “Nod, wake up. We have to go.”

The boy groaned softly, not opening his eyes.

“…Dad?” he mumbled, and Ronin almost smiled, brushing the boy's matted hair out of his eyes and wincing at the blue and purple bruises that marred his face.

“Not quite. Come on, we need to get out of here.”

Nod’s eyes cracked open, seemingly struggling to focus on the man before him.

“…Ronin? What are you doing here?”

“Saving your sorry self, what does it look like?”

Nod shook his head as he gained some clarity.

“No, you don't get it. You can't be here, Ronin, it's a trap. Mandrake doesn't care about me, he wants you!”

Ronin just looked at him.

“Are you done?”

“Ronin, I'm serious! You have to believe me, you-” he stopped as he understood Ronin's unfazed expression. “You knew.”

“I didn't earn the rank of Commander by being an idiot, Nod.”

“No, just by being cozy with the queen,” he retorted. “But then… why are you here?”

“See, that's why you quit the leafmen. You have no concept of anybody caring for anyone other than themselves. Well guess what kid, I lost your father in this hellhole and I'm not about to lose you.”

Nod was silent for a moment, then grinned slightly.

“Man, I knew you were getting old, but seriously? Ronin, what happened? You're getting emotional! I think it may be time you considered retirement.”

“You’re just asking to be left behind, aren't you?”

“Alright, sorry! Touchy subject, I see.”

Ronin shook his head.

“If you weren't as injured as you are, I'd smack you all the way to Moonhaven.”

“And if you weren't as old and weak as you are, I might actually bother to try and stop you.”

“Can you walk?” Ronin asked, electing to ignore that last comment.

“Hm? Yeah, yeah, I can walk. Just gimme a sec.” He tried to sit up and winced with a shout of pain.

“Oh, you can walk, can you?” Ronin couldn't resist asking.

Nod glared.

“I'll manage.”

“And waste time getting out of here? I don't think so.”

Ronin slid his arms under Nod’s back and knees and got to his feet, stumbling slightly.

“Hey, careful!” Nod exclaimed painfully. “I can do it, put me down!”

“No time,” Ronin said curtly, carrying him out. “What have you been eating, pebbles?” he asked when Nod turned out to be much heavier than he'd expected.

“You're hilarious, old man,” Nod said through gritted teeth, trying not to cry out in pain.

Ronin placed the boy on the back of his hummingbird, and he slumped forward as he climbed on behind him.

“Y’know… I didn't think you were coming,” Nod admitted as they took off.

“We're leafmen, Nod, we look out for each other. Not that you ever took that lesson to heart.”

“You don't get to use that anyway. I quit, remember?”

Ronin nodded.

“Fine, then how about you and me? We look out for each other.”

Nod was quiet, then nodded.

“I think I can work with that.”

How old is Attila? Are werewolves immortal?

Sourced from: van Leeuwen, A. & Cornelissen, F. (2021). Eyes of the Wild: A case study of anatomy in the medieval European lycanthrope. Journal of Cryptobiology and Medicine. 6(1). Pp 22-46.

Riddarvold, S. (2020). Catholicism and Lycanthropy in Medieval Literature. Oslo: Litteraturselsskabet. Pp 80-142.

This kind of depends which type of werewolf you're talking about. Attila, as mentioned, is a European Eldritch Werewolf. Immortality is a bit of contentious subject for them, since it's incredibly rare that they die of old age. As in, it has not happened in living memory.

Being turned puts major stress on the body, so about a third of new wolves don't make it through the first 6 months to two years. They just drop dead at some point, usually during a moon. After that, death only ever occurs from being shot by a hunter or wounds sustained during battle. The oldest werewolves in the middle ages made it to about 200, maybe 300 years. There's actually pretty good records of this. At that point, nearly every werewolf was part of the "Army of the Night", since the Catholic Church was aware how dangerous wolves were and how useful they could be when tamed. However, a lot of the control the Army had over them came from manipulation, religious fervor, and straight up lies about their kind, so it was in the best interest of the Church to not encourage strong bonds and allow a higher casualty rate than was strictly necessary.

For that reason there are nearly no accounts of wild wolves who could give a better estimate of natural life span. The oldest known wolves still alive right now all come from the same pack, and are roughly 900 and 850 years old. There was also another wolf about the same age, who turned the leader of the aforementioned pack, but how old he was - if much older or only a little - is impossible to say.

Genetic decoding is unfortunately prohibitively expensive right now due to the very small research base of this topic. Current estimates put the lycanthrope aging rate at 220 years for every ten human years, but due to the extremely small sample size and survivorship bias this is a preliminary result with little statistical weight.

In honor of "Turk"

Found out this morning, a huge jolt to my realm, my old roommate and best man in my wedding has stage 4 inoperable/untreatable brain cancer. This isn't about me, but I'm still a student of life, and trying wrap my head around this piece of information.

Some folks may read this and become very uncomfortable. As I'm not following "normal" trends with this type of situation. I mean no harm, and actually don't believe many will actually see/read this installment, including Tom. And thats ok... Nothing wrong is being printed here.

In my opinion, tributes to the "gone/lost" are fine. But the person that is being spoken about, doesn't get to hear it, let alone in person..... maybe we should change our trendy ways and speak up while everyone is still around?

He is alive and getting therapy to learn how to get his balance back as of this writing.

And as it is.....

Tom "turk" "turkey" Kohn. His name came about due to a character on TV then who used the term Turkey a lot in his vocabulary. How ever that came about, the name stuck for years. Maybe not so much now... I've heard him called Professor recently, by others who worked with him before retirement. Later in his career, he got a job in another department.

Tom and I shared an apartment at 33rd and Vine I think for 2 and half years.

Tom started at Lincoln Hoot and Hollar construction department about 6 months after me. Fresh out of the "seabees"..

Our boss (who was terrified of climbing poles) attempted to teach Tom and another new guy how to climb .... on the job.

Couldn't keep Tom off the poles, and the other new guy, we couldn't keep on the poles. Tom was probably one of the best lines men I ever knew, and the best bucket truck operator.... nothing he couldn't do phone work wise, and do very well.

From what I remember we hit it off very well. His sense of humor just fit me. Within a few months, we got an apartment.

Tom is a Crete guy. Went to high school there. And then joined the Navy. This was back at the tail end of Viet nam... and was stationed in Thailand.

When he got out, bought a brand new 73 custard colored blazer. A very proud owner he was.

He also owned a Honda 100, and I owned a 73 Norton 850. When we'd ride together, it was sort of a Mutt and Jeff affair. He later bought a very nice, fast 74 Kawasaki Z1 900. He made up for the years lost on his toy bike.

We shared tons of info between ourselves, including beliefs, and ideas.

Probably one of the most honorable people I know. There is no way I can put myself on that same shelf.

Lots of humorous stories come to mind.

We were both pranksters. I'd throw a cold cold water surprise on him when he was in the tub. And he'd get me back. We both loved the scream of shock.

Somewhere there was Vaseline on a toilet seat.... can't seem to remember that story clearly.

Borrowed his blazer during a blizzard (1974?). I buried it in a snow bank and hand dug it out. Returned it home, and never told him. He got in a day or so later, and noted the alternator wasn't charging. Popped the hood, and the whole engine compartment was stuffed with snow and Ice..... all to ..."what the hell?...." Honestly, although very funny, I had no idea that actually happened.

Tom being shorter, I just couldn't help myself. Could be considered mean. He used to drive our boss around in a pickup. Toms job was to get the pickup and warm it up. I took blocks of wood and tapped them to the peddles, to help him reach the peddles (same thing done for little kids to reach the peddles when learning to ride a bike). Just trying to help out. He didn't really need them.... lots of laughs, and he took it in stride.

He was frequent at "lil Bo's" with his hi school buddy Dave who also was fresh out of the military. Those 2 could drink hard in those days being fresh out of the military.

One night I decided to hang out with them at Bo's, which is a scary thought, as I've always been a fly weight for drinking.... and tried to match drink for drink with them. By the time I got into the car to go home, I was blotto. Dave had drove, and it was a itty bitty Fiat, that I folded myself up to fit in the back (no seat).

We got home and Tom decides he's hungry and grabs a frying pan and what appeared to be a full bottle of oil to cook something up. By this time, I'm dizzy and wondering what I've gotten myself into. I walk by the stove looking at the bubbling smoking heated oil..... and I run for the toilet.

I was dating my Wife in this piece of time.... and eventually got engaged. Tom and I parted ways, and he moved in with Dave.... in the Meadowlane/Bethany area.

Tom was my best man, and tormented me throughout the ceremony, under his breath. I still giggle.

Tom started dating a wonderful girl from his past.... Pam, and they married. Although Toms bachelor party wasn't anything extra abnormal, I remember it well.

I can still remember bits of their wedding at the Havelock Methodist church.

From this point on to the past couple of years, we didn't stay in touch much. But would see each other at work. And everything was cool. Our paths had just separated... life moves on.

During this "vacant" period of separation, Tom got married to Pam. Bought a nice acreage south of Lincoln in the Norris school district. Raised a Son and a Daughter. Was a boy scout leader, and was on the Norris school board. He was a busy man.

Now that we are both retired, we see each other more than the past 30 years. 2 Winters ago he entrusted me to restore his old Z1, which he had kept all these years.

I was very surprised on both counts. I enjoyed the project.

He's a member of the geezers club, so we see each other fairly frequent now.

This entry is obviously missing huge chunks of a long period of time. But I feel justice, as these are hi lites remembered. I know everyone that knew Tom has their own stories, that more than likely bring a smile to their faces...

This is my Friend Tom. A best friend from years ago.

[yellowmagicalgirl]

Hey, how do you and other Krexie shippers work around the age gap? I mean, I ship Krexie and have my own headcanons, but I'm curious to see what others have done.

I feel like I answered this before several months ago, but I don’t feel like finding that post so I’ll answer again. The full answer to your question is a short essay (and that’s without including the footnotes) so I’m gonna put it under a cut. This is based upon my own experience in the fandom, and the krexie circles I frequent are the ones on FFN, AO3, and of course, here on tumblr. Abuse and grooming (in the context of real people) will be talked about below the cut.

TL;DR I’ve seen three main ways of dealing with the age gap: ignoring it, aging Krel up, and aging Douxie down.

Ignore It

This one actually encompasses two different methods. The first of the two is to treat one or both of the boys’ ages as nebulous, with the maturity level of “teenager” and nothing more explicit since Douxie is about nine centuries old and Akiridion royals live for centuries Krel’s exact age is unknown. In this case, the age of one or both of the boys won’t be mentioned aside from being hundereds of years old. In addition, at least on Douxie’s end, this is somewhat canon. Fun fact: Douxie never calls himself a college student, and neither does Archie. Likewise, neither of them call Douxie 19. That was Steve, who deserved far better of a character arc than just to be the idiot that he is in Wizards. However, even though he deserved better Steve is not a reliable source of information on Douxie’s age, but Douxie and Archie are. In Wizards, the only information Douxie and Archie give on Douxie’s age is that he’s about nine centuries old.[1]

The other method of ignoring the ages is to treat Douxie as a 19-year-old (ignoring the immortality) and Krel as a 16-year-old, and to mention one or both of their ages. Their ages are ignored due to one or both of the following reasons: for one, in real life a three year gap between teenagers doesn’t automatically mean the older person is a predator. It’s something to be cautious about, and the younger person really needs to have people they can trust since if the relationship does turn toxic they would have less power and thus be in more danger (usually, though it is possible for the younger person to be more dangerous to the older one), but that doesn’t automatically mean something bad will happen. The other reason to ignore the boys’ ages is because honestly? If someone needs non-canon ships to tell them which relationships are healthy and which ones are dangerous, then their parents/guardians and teachers have failed them. Fanfic authors, fanartists, and other people creating/consuming fanworks on the internet are not responsible for educating random people on the internet. In fact, they and their content are not responsible for if a random person is abused, even if the abuser uses fanworks to groom the victim. It’s the fault of the abuser for being abusive.[2]

Out of these two methods, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more using the former method of ignoring than the age gap than the latter.

Age Krel Up

This, again, has two different methods. The more common method is to have Krel (and the other Arcadia Oaks High students) age naturally, until they’re at an age that the fanwork creator is more comfortable with having krexie at. These types of fanworks take place years after the events of Wizards. The other method is to create an au where Krel (and likely the other Arcadia Oaks High students) were already the age the fanwork creator is more comfortable with when Douxie and Krel first met. I, personally, have created a lot of content for the first method, and I’ve seen other people use this method as well. My fake marriage au utilizes the latter method, and this method would also work for au’s where Douxie and Krel are both adults when they meet but the au does not follow canon.

Age Douxie Down

This one also has a basis in canon, though I haven’t seen any other krexie shipper use this method of dealing with the age gap. I, personally, use this whenever I want to make krexie content that’s compliant with Trollhunters and 3Below but also do not want to deal wit backwards time travel because I hate backwards time travel. However, someone should write an au where Douxie and Krel are human high schoolers whose biggest problem is being gay for the guy attending your rival school.

Now, while Douxie and Archie gave Douxie the vague age of about 900 years old and Steve made the assumption that Douxie was a 19-year-old college student, Trollhunters actually went out of its way to show that Douxie was a high school student.

In season two episode 10, Mary reveals that she was dating a student from Arcadia Oaks Academy, and Eli remarked that that was their rival school. I was in high school when Trollhunters was airing, and let me tell you: high schools do not have rivalries with colleges. Arcadia Oaks Academy would have to be a high school, or maybe a k-12 or 6-12. However, it’s far more likely that Arcadia Oaks Academy is a high school with the same age range of students as Arcadia Oaks High. In season three episode 1, Mary excitedly tells Claire that a student from Arcadia Oaks Academy is at Arcadia Oaks High. This student is Douxie, and unless I’m remembering wrong he also mentions attending the Academy. Unless Mary knew all along that Douxie was a wizard and was trying to give him a cover story for why he was hanging out at Arcadia Oaks High only for this information about Mary to be cut from Wizards due to time constraints, there is absolutely no reason for Mary to lie about Douxie’s age to Claire. The fact that Douxie was considered to be a high schooler by most of the fandom (some people had been on the train of “he’s a centuries old adult” for a long time) is why the krexie fanworks created pre-Wizards are all treating Douxie like a high schooler. (Yes, people shipped krexie (or at least consumed/produced fanworks for the ship) before Wizards came out. I have my fic on AO3/FFN and other people’s comments to prove it, as well as some fanart saved to my blog. Sadly, some of the people are now antis, and one them has now harassed at least one krexie shipper.)

Personally, when I age Douxie down, I age him down to 17. Only 17. Not 17-plus-several-centuries-without-aging. In-universe he may try to call himself 1492 years old, but he’s really just 17. However, as I mentioned before, if I’m aging him down to 17 then I’m also completely ignoring the backwards time travel aspects of Wizards. And, by doing that, I end up really changing the lore of Wizards. If you would like more information for the timeline I use when I age Douxie down, please refer to this ask.

In Conclusion

Thank you for reading this. These footnotes aren’t nearly as on topic and are more of a ramble.

[1] Re: Douxie having a really vague age of nine centuries. If you take enough chemistry and physics (but in my experience especially chemistry) courses, you will have it drilled into your head that 900 years old could really be anywhere from 850 to 949 years old. So, while 919 is definitely possible in the age range given by the age of “about 900″, it’s really a give-or-take number. However, if we truly want to be accurate, then if we choose to have Trollhunters take place in the 2016-2017 school year, choose to have had the moppet been between 16 and 19 years old at the Battle of Killahead Bridge, and we consider that the late 12th century (aka the time period of Wizards... supposedly, considering that it is not historically accurate) to be the latter half of that century, then Douxie would have to be somewhere between 834 and 886 years old. If we want a 16-year-old moppet and for the 900 years to be an accurate case of rounding, then the Battle of Killahead Bridge would have needed to be in 1183 at the earliest, which is accurate for the description of late twelfth century. If Douxie were to really be 919 in 2017, then the Battle of Killahead Bridge would have needed to take place somewhere from 1114 to 1117, aka the early twelfth century.

[2] Re: the argument that fanwork creators are not responsible for if an abuser uses their content to groom a victim. When I was a kid, the big scare was that strangers would lure off innocent children with candy. We were told not to go anywhere with a stranger, even if they had candy (or puppies, kittens, etc.) I don’t know how many kids have been hurt by strangers promising candy, nor do I know if this is something kids are still being warned about, but I do know that there isn’t some campaign against candy companies for daring to sell candy that an abuser would use against kids. This is because, as horrible as children being hurt is, it’s not the fault of the candy companies. It’s the fault of the abuser. And likewise, it’s not the fault of a fanwork creator if someone else uses their content to harm others.

PS: A side note since we’re discussing ages. I’ve been in this fandom for years, specifically on tumblr, AO3, and FFN as well as one of the discords. It wasn’t until the krexie discourse started that I started seeing people start calling Krel 14. I had seen people call him 15-16 in the past, because the fandom wasn’t sure if he and Aja were twins or had a minimum of a 9-month gap (assuming, of course, that Akiridions reproduce like humans do). That being said, before the discourse I never saw anyone treat Krel (or Aja, for that matter) like he had a canonical age. 14, however, seems to be something that stemmed from the wiki. You know, the same fan-run wiki that claims that Nomura’s full name is Zelda Nomura even though nowhere in the shows, books, games, or graphic novels is she ever called by that name. Yeah, the Arcadia Oaks-Pedia is not a reputable source. I’m going to give the wiki editors the benefit of Hanlon’s razor and hope that they were just going “well, since Krel is Aja’s younger brother and we’re assuming she’s 15-16 years old like the rest of the protagonists he must be 14-15 years old” and it was only after that that antis took the idea of Krel being 14 as canon and then ran off with it to be cruel and cause chaos.

So here`s some more detailed stuff about Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai Guild collab cafe at Toriko Ikebukuro. The cafe is held from March 1 to 28 at Toriko Ikebukuro. You need to reserve in advance for the cafe. For the regular seats you need to pay 500 yen for the entrance/reservation fee after the cafe staff check your reservation email. For the VIP seats, it costs 4000 yen (the entrance fee is already included here). Unlike the regular seat, you need to pay it in advance. After the staff confirmed your reservation, you`ll receive Yashiro`s business card.

For the cafe menu, there are 6 items. You can only order 3 items at a time so if you plan to order more, you need to fall in line again. For every order, you`ll also receive one random trump card (6 designs). They are also selling poker-chip like acrylic coasters in the cafe however, you can only order one for every one food/drink item that you ordered. Unlike the trump card, you can choose the design (6 designs for the coaster). The acrylic coaster costs 600 yen and here`s the food menu:

1. オーナー矢代のローストビーフバーガー＆マシューポテト (Owner Yashiro`s Roast Beef Burger and Mashed Potato, 1200 yen)

-I didn`t order this earlier but i saw someone ordering it and the burger looks really small and probably won`t make you full.

2.ディーラー百目鬼の黒ゴマアイスプレート (Dealer Doumeki`s Black Sesame Ice cream plate, 1200 yen)

-Ordered this earlier and i really like the black sesame ice cream

3.チアーズシャンパンゼリ (Cheers Champagne Jelly, 700 yen)

-I also ordered this. The jelly is non-alcholic BTW.

4.ホットアクアマリン (Hot Aqua Marine, 900 yen)

-This is the only hot drink in the menu.

5.チャコールレモネード (Charcoal Lemonade, 850 yen  

6.ルビーワインスカッシュ (Ruby Wine Squash, 850 yen)

-I also ordered this. Its the only alcoholic drink in the menu but the percentage of the alcohol is really low (1 percent). Also, jelly is mixed in the wine. Was really surprised to find jelly when i drank it.

Here`s the food that i ordered and my table. You`re free to choose your table/seat in the cafe so I immediately went to Doumeki`s table as soon as I enter the cafe.

Here`s Doumeki`s Black Sesame Ice cream plate

Here`s the Champagne Jelly and the Wine.

Here are the goods that i bought and received from the cafe. Bought 3 acrylic coaster and received 3 trump cards. I also bought Doumeki and Yashiro`s acrylic stand. There`s also a “stamp event” at the cafe where if you get 3 stamps you`ll receive a free sticker. To get 3 stamps, you need to buy 1000 yen worth of goods (excluding the gachas and the 25,000 yen A4 size signed artwork), you need to order one menu item and buy one of either Saezuru manga or Drama CD. 

Doumeki really blessed me today with his presence because i received a lot of his goods today. But, maybe a bit too much because I received a lot of his badges from the gacha machine.

How many hamburgers would someone need to eat in order to eat an entire cow

Depends... You do know burgers are not made entirely of just one part of the meat. Right? It is a mix plus 20% of fatness

But out of one single animal? Hmm... if you want to make half pound burgers only, you'd get around... 850 to 900 burgers...?

Quarter-pound burgers... Maybe 1200? Something like that.

Of course it all depends on the animal's size, age, health, breed and things like that... A Chianina and an Angus have different amount of meat you can get from it.

...

...

I put too much thoughts into it...

((You are clearly bored, Shu...))

HESI

Alright I just took my first HESI of the summer semester (one more to go) I got a 910, not bad but imma do better. Sorry for not posting so much I was barely motivated to study let alone form a coherent thought. 

However, before if get to the meat and potatoes I do want to address a couple things 

With the state of the world slowly unraveling we have to take a moment to take care of ourselves. Yes, protest because Vanessa Guillen story should be told, protest until Black lives matter, Protest for the kids in the cages, protest and help look for out for the missing indigenous women. But also remember to take care of yourself.

You have a right to feel sad, you have a right to feel angry, you have a right to feel overwhelmed. They are all really hard things to stomach. If you have to take the day to yourself where you don’t study, where you don’t clean the house, where you stay off social media. Do that. You will not be helping anyone of you don’t help yourself first. Do not let anyone shame you for having to take care of yourself. Everything will be there after you take your bubble bath and treat yourself to a nice dinner. Especially right now when we are so far removed from everyone due to this pandemic and because we are going a lot of things from home it is infinitely easier to neglect self care. However, when you’re done rejuvenating yourself its back to work. The medical community is not immune to the societal problems that we are trying to fix right now. If anything they become just as prominent. There is bias in medicine, and we have to actively work to change that. 

Moving onto the topic for today HESI

So I don’t know about other school so much but I do know that the HESI is pretty standardly used to determine the readiness of a student for the NCLEX. At my school we have a HESI at the end of every course as well as an exit HESI. I know at some schools they only do an entrance, midway, and exit HESI.

I digress. 

So, the HESI consists of 55 NCLEX style questions. However five of those questions don’t count, they are for data purposes. You are only scored on 50 questions of the 55. I think the amount of time that is allowed to take the test varies from institution to institution, but I was allowed 180 minutes which is more than enough time for 55 questions. 

Scoring, so this bit can get a little confusing. When you finish taking the exam you will be given two scores. 

Percentage score: Simply put this is how many questions right you got out of the total.

HESI score: The max HESI score is 1,500 but an acceptable score is usually between 850-900+. Now the questions that you’re provided on the test have different levels of importance. The more important the concept the more weight the concept carries the bigger deal it is when you get the question wrong. because of this somone can get a 75% and get a 900 while someone else can get a 72% but score a 642.

How do I study for the HESI?

I am basically MARRIED to my Saunder’s book. (the orange one) The chapter reviews have mnemonics and graphics and narrow the information that you need to know without the fluff. Not the mention the online resources. OH MY GODDDDD the online resources. There are over 800 questions for the foundations section. Just do all the practice questions humanly possible in the amount o f time that you have and the rest will flow . Make sure to look at the rationales because that will teach you test taking strategies that you can use down the line. I swear by this book. 

Anyways that’s all I have for now. I think I’ll have some more content reviews after I turn in my theology paper this week. Or maybe I’ll have my HESI remediation link up, we shall see....

Please take care of yourselves

So I was looking into things cause I apparently have nothing better to do (like classwork, drafts, sketches, literally ANYTHING), Sesshomaru is supposedly 900 years old while looking to be about 19 by human standards. Koga is supposed to look somewhere between 15-18 years old by human standards (according to the inuyasha wiki page anyway), and while I don’t play Koga, I would say 18. Which would probably mean that he is younger than Sesshomaru. I would bet he (Koga) is about 850?? maybe?? idk how demon years work tbh, but I’d put him in the 800 range somewhere.

BtRP: Bobs & Brews Prep

Improv Framework, Ideas, and Emotes to build onto:

Idle filler emote starters:

/em plucks some more roasted meats from the firepit, skewering them deftly and refilling the display like a savory bouquet. /em brushes some fruits with a cinammon sugar glaze and leaves them to set. /em sets out some more wooden cups and checks the barrels. /em cuts up some tubers and sets them in the roaster.

Intro and Yell:

"Skewers and drinks for sale! We have the spice blend, Destroyer's Delight, for those brave of tongue. A prize for those who do not weep at its wondrous flavor!"

Destroyer’s Delight Spice Game:

((The spice is simple a /random - 850 or higher wins! How you RP how spicy it is up 100% up to you ^_^))

900 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. It does kick in, but to you the heat seems to sear away anything but your mouth! It's delicious, a bouquet of flavors that you can breathe and taste all at once! You're glowing and positive. You can take on anything!

800 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. It's a good thing there was only one morsel of this jhammel meat, while the sauce has a richness delicious taste to it, another one of these could be deadly. But glow with pride and feel confident, for that's a flavor that's hard to match!

700 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. It's strong. It was good and the heat is a bit much to bare. Good thing it was a single morsel. Your nose and throat are surely cleared out by it.

600 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. Did the two most spicy peppers in the world combine into this super spice? Suddenly your whole body is warm and your sinuses are burnt clean! Take a moment to breathe again, gladly we're still standing.

500 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. Gods above and Hells below, might as well licked a hot forge's ingot. Nose is crisp and clear, throat too. Another bite of that could be deadly! You're still standing though, play it off, maybe wait a moment to talk. Breathe - you survived!

400 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. It's like a pepper from each of the Hells is in this sauce! Why are we being punished with this?! Your sinuses sear, your eyes water, you have to blink to stay on your feet! Take it easy, maybe no one will notice. But you're not dead and that's a positive thought.

300 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. Hell - it's hell that's inside you and sinners come here and burn to death. Your sinuses are instantly seared, your eyes instantly water. You can hide it, or maybe call for aid! It's up to you, but surely you won't taste anything for awhile. Just... take a moment at least.

200 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. There is no such thing as the Twelve if this exists. It's like all the Hells are in your mouth! Sinuses burn, eyes burn, and it's hard to breathe. Maybe you could ask for help, or take a minute and wave it off. Just don't talk... not yet... it burns!

100 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. You're in the Hells, or it feels like it. The burning is not only in your head, but your body. Your stomach protests and probably will continue to much later. Eyes watering, throat tightening. It's a wonder to stay on your feet! But you're strong! Just play it cool... maybe ask for help! The choice is yours! Just try to not fall over.

00 You take a bite of the Jhammel chunk soaked in the spice called "Destroyer's Delight" and wait a moment. There's a richness to the sauce that's warm, compelling, wholesome until the heat kicks in. ... did you die? Did you burn, turn to ash, and die and for some reason go to hell and still burning? Whole sinuses ache, eyes ache and water, chest aches. This jhammel will have to come out sooner or later... hopefully later... hopefully never. It's a wonder you're still standing. Be careful. Be strong. Maybe no one will know... or maybe someone will keep you alive.

✨10 Days Lose 11-14lbs (6.3kg) diet. Final Thoughts ✨

My Final Thoughts on this diet:

So as you guys know I tried that “ 10 Days Lose 11-14lbs (6.3kg)” diet. It was the most exhausting thing I have every done. I felt very sickly and low on energy that I ended up pigging out which I really didn’t want to do. I think this diet would have been much better if it was more realistic in some sense. 

This diet isn’t for people who are just starting out their Thinspo Journey as I would like to call it, it’s probably more for people who have been doing this type of stuff a for while. If you are just starting out your own journey I would advise not to do this because it’s mentally and physically draining. The water fast days are the worst and also the one with very little calorie limits. I think if they had more 650 day calories it would be alright cause then it forces you to think about what is your next meal and how many calories it is, and also meal planning skills. The one thing I can take away from this diet is meal planning, even though I practically failed all the days (cause it was physically draining on me) I found meal planning to help. 

I would also suggest to change this diet to fit your needs. The best way to do extreme diets like this is to train yourself little by little to eat less calories then you did before. I used a calculator for the amount of calories my body needs to function (you can find this online or get it professional tested) as I did mine online I used it more as a guide as to how many calories my body needs to function and little by little I forced myself to eat less and less. I went from usually 2,000+ calories to 1,000 to 900 to now 850 calories in a day. Its hard but if you slowly go through this process your body gets used to it and it isn’t a dramatic drop like this diet was. 

I hope you found me doing this diet kinda interesting and seeing my struggles as well. I also hope you have taken something away from this.   

Overall I think I gained more after this diet cause I am inexperience in dropping my calorie limit drastically depending on the day. I will make a new one that is specifically for people like me or myself alone. I will be posting daily like I did for this diet and maybe when I get more used to this type of dieting and I am deeper into my Thinspo Journey I will try this diet again.  

Thanks to all for sticking with me in this crazy diet. Till the next one bye. 

*At the end of each diet I'll put my starting weight and my final weight on a separate blog that I will update after each diet.*
