Activities for a fem aligning* caregiver ☆´ˎ˗ ︶︶︶

(*First things first, I'm not a fan of pointlessly gendering things, so of course anyone can do these regadless of gender or gender expression)

I'm making this post mainly because I feel like there's a lack of fem leaning caregiver content, and since my partner is very girly, I believe reassuring her gender expression through caregiving would be encouraging for her!

Plus, it's fitting for a mother's day post! Happy late mother's day for all mamas and fem caregivers!

🍨: Bake with them! My partner loves baking and I've been wanting to get us into cake decorating since colorful pastries make my regressed self excited!

🌷: Give them flowers! Flowers are often gifted to femmes, aside from being regarded as a symbol of tenderness and beauty. You can also make flower arrangments for them or put flowers on their hair.

💝: Pamper them with fem nicknames! If they enjoy being referred to with fem language they'll likely be happy to be called mom, Mamma/mommy, sis/sister, aunt/auntie, miss, madam/ma'am or lady.

🌈: Play dolls with them! Aside from it's sheer versatiliy in typing (fashion dolls, baby dolls, paper dolls, action dolls) dolls are suitable for several play pretend scenarios, and they're more fun to play with someone else.

💄: Give them a makeover! Paint their nails, do their makeup and hair, choose their outfit and let them enjoy their new look!

🍬: Have a spa day! Be it with skincare, haircare, bubble baths or manicure/pedicure, a home spa day is a good way to practice self care and bond with your caregiver.

🌺: Make accessories for them! From bracelets to necklaces and hair accessories, those can be made with a wide range of materials (beads, fabric, paper, EVA foam) and most are pretty easy to craft.

👑: Play royal court with them! They can be a princess or queen and you're their prince/princess or knight. Make a royal schedule and give them the princess treatment, pretty dresses included!

🎀: Style their hair! Grab a brush and all kinds of hair accessories and let your creativity flow! Short hair can be styled with headbands, bows and hairclips, while longer hair can also be tied into braids, buns, or anything!

🍡: Make dressup games and picrews of them! Picrews and other dressup websites are an amazing alternative to physical fashion dolls, since you can make them look just like your caregiver and dress them up in all kinds of pretty clothes. Don't forget to show them the finished pictures!

🩰: Play fashion runway! You can either both play as runway models, or one of you can be the stylist while the other is the model. Fashion runaway is also an opportunity to express and experiment with outfits.

part 1/3

The air in the Balamb Garden's library was musty, like always. Squall watched as Laguna rummaged through stacks of old tapes. Just over an hour before, Laguna had finally admitted to squall that he was his father. The newness of his father's confession and the uncharged nature of the library seemed to crash against each other in Squalls head. He inhaled that stuffy, aged air, not realizing that he had been holding his breath.

Squall had to wait for a week after the battle at Ultemechia's palace for Laguna to contact him. The hints dropped by Kiros and Ward were enough for Squall to put the pieces together, but the ball was still in Laguna's court.

As the days passed, Rinoa began to supply potential reasons that Laguna hadn't reached out. Everytime Squall told her he wasn't bothered, that she didn't need to concern herself. This was a truth with a lie hidden inside. He hated seeing her worried, and was always bothered by her guilt. This guilt was inherited from Rinoa's father, but Squall knew the origin was Laguna. He was sure that Laguna knew it too. Even so, it was hard for Squall to even feel resentment towards Laguna. There was a hollow pit where his feelings for his father should have been. Sanded away by time, maybe. Or war.

Laguna finally fulfilled his promise to call Squall. They met at 9p.m. outside of the Deiling City Hotel bar. The night passed entirely without major incident. Squall drove him back in the Ragnarok, and couldn't miss the pong of historical feeling that passed over the older man's face when he was lifted up into the cockpit.

They met in the Deiling City Hotel week after week. Julia's bar served as a sort of limiter for their relationship. Laguna knew that Squall had been to Winhill. Atleast, if he wasn't a total idiot. But the Deiling City Hotel kept them in conversations about sorceress and war, deftly avoiding family. And home. Laguna drank progressively more each week. Squall did the opposite, having just one glass of beer before switching to water. He didn't hide it, but Laguna never noticed or let on. It took about a month for Lagmato work up the tolerance to be drunk enough to have the courage to finally admit his relationship to Squall. He threw the confession away, unable to even meet his son's eyes.

Squall had no idea what to say. He motioned for another beer, feeling grim when he noticed Laguna do the same. Coming face to face with the son that did what Laguna never could triggered something in the President. He began to hum the time to an old Julia Heartlilly hit, something Squall couldn't quite place.

Thanks to Lagunas drunken state this eventually escalated to him on singing and dancing on the bar. A few short minutes later, Lagunas arm was wrapped around Squall's shoulder as Squall led his father back towards Ragnarok. "What do you mean youve never heard it?" Laguna was insisting they seek out a tape of this apparently rare and underappreciated Julia Heartilly b-side. "Were you living under a rock?"

Not for the first time since he had begun these weekly meetings with Laguna, Sawall found the idea of mahood pathetic. Laguna's desperation to share a piece of his youth had him obsessed with poring ownership over Julia. It wasn't just Laguna. Cid, Fury. Even Seifer. These men couldn't protect their women, or the world. That had fallen to Squall. They certainly didn't protect him. And now, after Squall fixed their messes, they look to him to perform friendship for their benefit. As if he was the one that had proven himself good enough to join their club.

Laguna shouted, bringing Squall out of his thoughts "I found it!" He excitedly carried over the tape, labeled "Eyes on Me."

Squall couldnt help himself. "This is what you were looking for?" But Laguna didn't wait for squall to finish his line of questioning, happy instead to trot off in search of an appropriate player. Squall wondered what Rinne could have possibly seen in him. Wanted, not for the first time, the chance to meet his mother as himself.

han’s Entire Thoughts and Feelings on Dreamcatcher’s “Deja Vu”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

MY TIME HAS COME 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FULL INSOMNIA MODE DONT. LOOK. AT. ME.

ALRIGHT SO-

THE SONG OKAY LETS JUMP RIGHT INTO IT i wasnt expecting something lowkey sad BUT im not mad at it!!!!!!!!!! i had conflicting emotions when i desperately wanted to cry but also headbang?????? HOWEVER thanks to force and air the tears in my eyes were drying as i headbanged- LIKE this song really PUT ME THROUGH IT like that chorus didnt have tO DO ME LIKE THAT™!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEN THE VERSES AND THE PRE-CHORUSES WERE SLOW (and the bridge but bridges be like that in nearly all songs) WHICH IM ACTUALLY REALLY INTO it was like being in a roller coaster with the verses being the slow hill and the chorus was the fall THAT PIANO GOES HARD...................... but like in a soft way????? DONT ASK ME WHAT IM SAYING IS IM A HOE™ FOR PIANO THOSE DRUMS DURING THE CHORUS STOP IT I CANNOT I FELT THEM VIBRATE THROUGH MY BONES

like i DEADASS have nothing to criticize or change about this song its PERFECTLY FINE AS IT IS (except for like more gahyeon and dami????? pls??????)

siyeon starting the song.......................... thank you.............. I STILL STAND BY SAYING I WOULD LISTEN TO HER VOICE FOR LITERALLY FOREVER HER VOICE DURING THE CHORUS QUEEN OF SINGING CHORUSES OH BUT THEN THAT HIGH NOTE ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? SHE DIDNT HAVE TO KILL ME LIKE THIS BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH I- and now....... im in the deja vu P L E A S E

gaaaaaaaahhhyeeeeeooonnnn her voice is so pretty!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!! HOWEVER youre the second one to sing with this beautiful gentleness of a part and to be honest this part paired with siyeon starting it really eases you into the song and its quite the blessing to hear thanks- and then yknow this part right after handong........................... Heaven™

SPEAKING OF HANDONG LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE AMOUNT OF LINES SHE HAS MAKES ME WANNA CRY OKAY THIS PART RIGHT HERE............................. PLS.............. (i think its just me but theres a smaller voice singing like right under her voice????) HER PRE-CHORUS PARTS ARE LITERALLY THE BEST PARTS IN THE WHOLE SONG TO LISTEN TO pls believe me when i say this its NOT bc shes my ultimate bias like i genuinely like her parts the most

sua pls i was already prepared for softer vocals and you really gave that to me and then this is absolute perfection they were beautiful and amazing OF COURSE got me feeling like i was floating on actually clouds god TAHNK YOU AND THEN YOU JUST HAD TO HIT ME WITH YOUR PART RIGHT HERE???? i understand its just the chorus but I Felt That™ okay!!!!!!

JIU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i stand by saying how your voice be powerful as hell still even during these lines VERY short but VERY effective and very good leading into the chorus i love- and then your bridge....................... B I C T H really put me in my feelings but i welcome it with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING and with open arms.......................

YOOHYEON AKA THE OTHER QUEEN OF SINGING CHORUSES I MEAN..................................... I LITERALLY DUNNO WHAT TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE THEIR BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING HER VOICE GOES WELL WITH THEM like i really like the parts she sings after siyeon like................. Y O O F if a feather became a voice-

i need more dami too..................... P L E A S E like obviously with their other songs i was expecting dami to be in the second verse and with a smooth rap section and the former was correct HOWEVER to my pleasant surprise SHE SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her singing voice suited this SO MUCH and im actually glad there wasnt a rap part at all in this song especially that SECOND PART.................. Heaven™ 2x

my favorite lyrics (x): i know i said handongs were my favorite to listen to but i like these lines dont hurt me

난 이 숨결이 허락되는 날까지 As long as I can breathe 다신 너를 놓을 수 없어 I can’t let go of you again 우린 모든 순간 함께 할 테니 We’ll be together for every moment 내 곁에서 beside me

THE DANCE OKAY IM GONNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ill be referring to THIS PERFORMANCE can we pls talk about how loud the fanchant is im crying and really take it in and all of their talented glory ANYWAY OF COURSE the choreography F UKCING SLAPS just so many different position changes and just alwaYS SO IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER ITS INSANE ill just list them briefly and keep the points short this is long enough:

THE BEGINNING AND THE END BEING THE SAME...................... CERTAINLY DEJA VU-

SIYEONS TUTTING THING THANKS

handongs majestic spin

this and this with how the formation changes and how their arms swing AND the kick

ALSO in those parts in the last bullet i dunno why but i like that move jiu does when she sings IT HITS

i recall sua spoiling literally the first move of the chorus dance in that vlive THE CHORUS DANCE ALL THOSE FORMATION CHANGES LITERALLY MESS ME UP and THIS most important move in the entire choreography and they line up and its SO COOL to look at

when they lie on each other doing yoohyeons lines

handongs part again when theyre in the line and how satisfying it is to watch

THE ENTIRE BRIDGE

LITERALLY THE ENTIRE DANCE FROM START TO FINISH

QUEENS OF STABILITY

sidenote: can we talk about how handong and dami?????? literally spin during their parts????? and they sounded super clear??????

THE VISUALS SO.......................... if you had asked me two days ago (maybe a little bit of yesterday) about how i felt about this video.................. i wouldve mentioned some unpopular opinions regarding the videos look............ i mentioned to gwen @loonapunk that i wasnt TOO into it............ BUT- after finally sitting down to do this long ass post i dont hate it!!!!!!!!!!!! i think bc i have to remind myself that this song (album???? well song-) is for that kings raid game and all the visuals AND story are based off that????? i dunno BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS I LIKE TO WATCH IT
