#time to rest and heal

[fbwzoo]

Turns out "be attached to & enjoy the mischief more than individual rats" works better as a concept when you don't lose the entire mischief in a 6 month period.

End of an 8 year rat era today. We lost another of the younger girls, Spor, to sudden death last week from presumably the same respiratory infection that has taken most of the mischief with few to no symptoms. With two 2.5 year olds, one with a large mammary tumor, and only one younger girl left..... we decided the kindest thing at this point was euthanasia for all three.

We're taking a break for a couple years now. The last 6-8 months have been VERY hard & we just. Need fewer animals and just longer lived animals for a while. Rats are so very good, and so very hard. We'll miss our girls.

Pick a Card: What Does Your Future Self Want to Tell You?

Time isn’t as linear as it seems—and sometimes, the version of you who has already made it through the storm has something to say. In this reading, we’ll tune into the voice of your future self to receive guidance, reassurance, or maybe just a gentle nudge in the right direction. Take a deep breath, center yourself, and choose the pile that calls to your intuition. The message waiting for you might be just what you need right now.

pile 1, pile 2, pile 3

Pile 1

The Emperor, Nine of Wands, The Tower, Ace of Cups

I know you’ve been longing for a new beginning—something truly enriching, something beyond the chaos you're currently in. But there’s a structure in your mind that you must break. This feels like something bigger than you, something involving many people—a familiar pattern related to masculine figures in your family. It was there even before you were born; your mother already carried this wound.

Whatever your gender, the Masculine within you is being broken down. If this has been a recurring theme in your life, take this as confirmation from your future self that you’re breaking free from it.

Still, it won’t be easy. I can imagine how exhausted those drawn to this pile might feel, but there's an important message here: be loving with yourself along the way. I don’t think it will be harder than when your journey first began—probably not—but there are still layers that need your attention.

Know that your future self and your guides are here to support you. There’s a version of you that is already free—free from the inner father who constantly criticizes you, or from the lingering feeling that there's nothing left for you. Connect with that version of yourself.

Pile 2

Six of Pentacles, The Hanged Man, Eight of Swords, Page of Pentacles

Oof. You might be in a very uncomfortable situation right now—feeling trapped, yet at the same time trying to understand what exactly brought you here. I don’t sense desperation; it feels like you’ve already reached a state of mind where you’re seeking clarity more than anything else. You’re being smart, trying to analyze what’s best to do right now, even though your options may seem limited.

There’s also a subtle ache in the heart center—some anxiety around a particular issue, perhaps?

Well, your future self is here to tell you that help is on the way. This might be related to finances. Maybe you're looking for a job? lol. I hope you get it—and you definitely will. So try not to worry too much. Instead, stay grounded in your desires and focus on doing what’s best for you.

What’s coming through strongly here is a message that now is a time to “wait and see.” This moment is actually perfect for practicing trust—learning not to worry about everything all the time.

Pile 3

Wheel of Fortune, Nine of Swords, Ten of Wands, Seven of Pentacles

You need to rest—seriously. This message is quite similar to Pile 2 (so if you felt drawn to that one as well, feel free to check it out). There’s a sense of dissatisfaction you’re struggling to handle—maybe even a kind of emptiness. Nothing seems to be happening right now, and in that stillness, you’ve been showering yourself with judgment and self-criticism, when you could simply... wait and see what unfolds from what you’ve already planted.

If there’s still something left for you to do, then do it—but don’t let that turn into a lack of faith in the efforts you’ve already made.

Your future self wants you to know that things will change for you—soon. Remember: everything changes. Whatever you're working on, there's success here—but you’ve got to shut down that damn voice in your mind that wants to tear you down. Resting is important right now to help bring your mind back to the right place. Even your inner world is a space that deserves love and peace.

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)

OKAY, I wanted to put every bit of decoded text I could find in the Gaslight District's pilot into one post, but as it turns out, there's... a lot. I'm breaking the first part of this post off at around the 11 minute mark of the episode, because there are several very long chunks of text right after that which I simply do not have the energy to go over tonight

Edited 4/19 to clear up some bits and pieces I didn't get before

UPON INJURY, THE BODY WILL PERSIST, BOLSTERED BY THE MARK. IT WILL RESTORE ITSELF BUT NEVER TO COMPLETION.

Today was a very tired day for Fourteen. They’ve had trouble sleeping all week and it’s finally getting to them. But it’s okay, because he’s getting better at taking naps without feeling like something will go horribly wrong
