Alfonse's revelations are...troubling. Heath approaches most things with a healthy dose of skepticism, and his claims are no exception. But they do seem to be true, to an extent; his knowledge of these shadowy attackers, of these Agarthans, was confirmed and expanded on by the Projectionist herself.

And then, there's the matter of that pointed remark about Legault, and the claims that he'd known them. Versions of them, at least.

It's not something Heath can simply leave alone.

"Alfonse." Best to approach directly. Alfonse himself seems to share that philosophy--perhaps a little too much so, with the knowledge he seems to have. "You said you've met us all before. So I presume you've met me before..."

Heath folds his arms, looking the boy up and down. Things grow more complicated by the day, in Fodlan. Information is dangerous to have, but he's already in deep. There's no going back. Besides, Heath is not one to remain ignorant of his own accord.

"How so? You promised a full explanation when we returned to the bunker. I am holding you to that promise."

"I suppose I did, yes," Alfonse sighed, casting a furtive gaze around them. Having people listen in on this particular conversation would be... troublesome, to say the least. Alfonse didn't much care to deal with the questions that would inevitably arise from anyone who overheard him. While it wasn't feasible to maintain his secrecy around everyone, and certainly not to do so perpetually, he would rather postpone those discussions as long as he could manage.

"Well, for starters, I'm sure you've already guessed that I'm not exactly a commoner," Alfonse began, trying to beat around the bush as best he could while he considered exactly how he wanted to phrase things. He'd been given plenty of time to consider this, but he'd failed to come up with anything that truly satisfied him. Even though Heath and the others likely expected Alfonse's explanation to be beyond anything they would consider normal, Alfonse wasn't particularly confident that they would have an easy time believing the truth about his home.

"I am the prince of my home nation, Askr, though that title doesn't exactly hold any meaning here. Askr is... how do I put this? It's... a crossroad between worlds, I suppose. We've several other worlds more directly connected to ours, but those are... not particularly relevant to this discussion. We'll save those for another time."

Having to explain the Dvergar's creations or the legions of the dead commanded by Hel would probably only frustrate this discussion further. Better to leave that be until Heath already believed him. If Alfonse could go without ever having to discuss those matters, it would be all the better.

"My bloodline is entrusted with the power to open doorways between worlds, you see. The royal family of our neighbor, Embla, holds the opposite power, that of closure. We are theoretically meant to work together to govern the realms available to us, but up until just recently, Embla and Askr were... not exactly on the best of terms. Intervention in the affairs of other worlds, save for those directly connected to us, is generally something we avoid. That being said, we do employ prominent figures from across a plethora of worlds, summoned under the boon of Askr-- er, the god who granted my bloodline our power, not the nation. You, or at least a version of you, are one such hero. So... it's a very complicated way to say the other you that I met was effectively doing mercenary work for us."

[heavy-draw]

Finally, a familiar face in all of this. Heath gravitates toward Shamir, still mulling over the strange prompt he'd been given. He doesn't know many people here at Garreg Mach, much less the ones who'd been roped into this game. Which ones fit the bill...?

"Hey." It's easy to interact with Shamir. She's brusque and standoffish, even, but she's a lot like Heath in that way. They get each other. "How are the festivities going?"

He fidgets with the paper. Hmmm. Shamir wears green. And her personality, well...it sure could fit the hint, if you stretched it a bit. Huh. Well, it's a good a place as any to start, and if Heath can get this hunt done without having to ask a bunch of strangers, that'd suit him just fine.

"Did you also get one of these papers?" He shows it to her, the hint clear to see. "It's probably a long shot, but...sour candy apple flavor could mean green. A personality type. I don't think it fits you perfectly, but maybe? If it fits with your hint..."

Heath's voice is a welcome familiarity in the chaos of everything going on, and she tilts her head to glance at him in the moments he approaches. Seems like he's stuck in the same awkward situation that she is, and she fishes the hint out of her pocket to take a look over it once again. "Seems like you're a victim too, huh? It's going alright, I've got a few theories... But I hate to disappoint you and say you're not one of them." She shakes her head there-- maybe this wouldn't be so bad if it was Heath; they at least have the same vibe and the same method of operation, and would be able to navigate this whole issue quickly and efficiently. "I'm looking for a swordsman. As far as I know, that's not you." "What's the rest of yours say? Maybe I can help you."

What is my sister’s fault? Why must this be her life? She doesn’t remember our house. She doesn’t remember her cat who was killed by the bombs. She doesn’t remember feeling warm during the winter. All the good things in her life came and went before her brain could form memories. From her point of view, life has always been this genocide. Gaza has always been destroyed. Home has always been one room with no windows and infested by rodents.

Please help me provide for her. She’s had a high fever for the past few days and the blockade is back. The bombs are starting to drop again. This is going to be so hard and I can’t do this alone.

We are so close to our final goal, please, anything can make a difference even if it’s just sharing!

౨ৎ ⁺ . my bedroom cleaning formula .ᐟ 🎀

📧 -> to get me motivated before cleaning, i like to imagine that I've invited a really hot person to my house and they're going to see my room. works like a charm.

this is a guide for people who struggle to get motivated when cleaning their room, or for people with ADHD like me who get side-tracked and easily bored!!

step O1 -> clean up any dishes 𝜗𝜚

you don't have to wash them right now, just get them out of your room!

step O2 -> throw out any visible food-related trash 𝜗𝜚

food packets, scraps etc.

step O3 -> pick up and put away anything red 𝜗𝜚

i get bored easily when cleaning, so i like to split things up by picking up colour-coded things too! this has helped me the most when keeping a tidy space.

step O4 -> throw away any makeup related trash 𝜗𝜚

make up wipes, q tips, makeup packaging, etc

step O5 -> pick up any makeup products 𝜗𝜚

put them back on your dresser / wherever you store them!

step O6 -> pick up anything orange 𝜗𝜚

step O7 -> pick up any paper, cardboard, etc 𝜗𝜚

loose sheets of paper, cardboard packaging, etc. put it in the recycling!

step O8 -> pick up any dirty washing 𝜗𝜚

you don't have to wash them right now, just put them in the washing basket!

step O9 -> pick up anything yellow 𝜗𝜚

step 1O -> pick up and put away any clean clothes 𝜗𝜚

make sure to fold them !!

step 11 -> pick up any craft materials / stationary 𝜗𝜚

pens, pencils, erasers, markers, etc

step 12 -> pick up anything green 𝜗𝜚

step 13 -> pick up any accessories 𝜗𝜚

jewelry, hair accessories, hats, scarves, etc

step 14 -> put away anything beauty related 𝜗𝜚

skincare, nail polish, hair brushes, perfume, etc

step 15 -> pick up anything blue or purple 𝜗𝜚

step 16 -> make your bed! 𝜗𝜚

a clean bed is a literal game changer. makes your whole room suddenly look neater.

step 17 -> put away any entertainment 𝜗𝜚

books, cds, toys, games, etc

step 18 -> pick up anything pink 𝜗𝜚

step 19 -> pick up anything monotone 𝜗𝜚

white, grey, and black !

step 2O -> rearrange things! 𝜗𝜚

neaten up your bookshelf, dressing table, desk, wardrobe, etc

Now you're basically done! things should (hopefully) seem a lot less stressful now that everything's where it should be. 🫧🧁

the last step is just to vacuum, dust, and wipe down any surfaces!

This is the story of my four-year-old sister soso whose only crime is to be born in northern Gaza. I hope it will touch you, because I don’t know what to say anymore. I don’t know what to share about our situation anymore.

I have lowered my campaign goal because I have lost hope. I wanted to complete it before March when a new semester will begin so I could register for university again and focus on nothing but my studies. I wanted to rebuild our home so we would avoid the years and years of displacement we went through last time it was destroyed. Maybe I dreamed too big. Maybe my life isn’t meant to be rebuilt.

Can we please achieve that at least? I won’t have a home, it’s okay. I’ll study in a tent, but at least I’ll be able to somewhat focus if our needs are met.

Please, I’m not angry if you can’t donate. I understand. But please at least share, it helps a lot too.

I am eternally grateful to anyone who helps in any way 🙏

[the-bar-sinister]

repeatedly sobbing "do what you want forever" as I desperately try to convince myself that it's okay to make small decisions about the short term direction of my life without concern for the opinions of other people.

[bebx]

from me. to me and to you.

This is your "oh shit it's getting hot again" reminder that SSRIs / antidepressants cause sun sensitivity and make you more prone to dehydration. Stay hydrated babes.

From one burnt out student to another

This semester has been an absolute nightmare for me, so welcome to the resulting post where I try to help other people who are in the same boat!

How about we run through a quick list together, okay?

Unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, relax your face, unclench your fists

Are you sitting in the shape of a C right now? *hitting you with a broom* straighten your back out!!

Maybe get up and stretch while you're at it!

Have you taken your meds today? If not, go get 'em.

Have you eaten enough today? Coffee/energy drinks are not a meal!!

What have you eaten today? Do you need to get something to snack on?

Have you had any water today?

Do you need to rest? There is NO shame in taking a nap or relaxing. If someone does shame you, send them my way

How long has it been since you moved from where you are right now? Maybe move to another room if you can.

How long has it been since you looked away from your screen? Take a little 5-10 minute break to rest your eyes :)

How long has it been since you've showered? (No shame in this one either, it's okay if you can't do it. You're not judged here.)

Do you need to get into some fresh, comfy clothes?

If the weather in your area will allow it, can you open a window or go sit outside?

Affirmations:

My grades do not define me

I am more than a grade/a gpa

I am allowed to make mistakes

I am allowed to rest

Taking breaks is necessary for my well being

This semester/school year will not last forever

It's okay to take time for myself

I do not need to be productive all the time

I am capable

I am smart

I do not need to perform to perfection all the time

My mental/physical/spiritual/emotional health is more important than school

It is okay to ask for help

Asking for help does not make me weak or less capable

Assignments should not be valued over sleep/food/self care

If you have the energy, maybe try some of these:

Reach out to a friend/family member/mutual

Change your sheets

Take your trash out

Pick stuff up off the floor if there is anything

Do your dishes/run the dishwasher

Do a load of laundry/put any clothes away

Journal

Schedule any needed doctor's/dentist's/therapy appointments

Leave your home for a little bit

Go do something you enjoy

Create something

Go for a walk

Cook your favorite meal

You are doing amazing, and I'm so proud of you. You can and will get through this. You're not alone <3

As always, please feel free to reach out or send me an ask if you need someone to talk to!

[mariposas8494]

Did you take your meds?
