A snakes comfort

@abellyfulloffriends 💕

It was a quiet moment, a time of closeness but not quite peace. Rosey was happily against Tero's side, in his coils as they were both lounging on a large stuffed chair. Teros tail would not stop shifting and twitching, showing that they were nervous about something, and Rosey wanted to help him.

So she gently wiggled out of his coils, his tail immediately releasing her and he looked at her. "I know it's all so new, and it can be so scary, but it's ok, Tero." she walked up his reclined body and sat on his collar, eyes locked onto her face. "You don't have to push yourself or change or anything. It's a learning experience and It can be scary but remember Adam and I are here for you." She cupped her small hand against the naga's cheek, his lips quivering with emotion and eyes becoming misty.

"but what if I hurt you?" he whispered since she was so close.

"you won't." She affirmed

"but how do you know that? I-I'm just so scared of hurting other people," he whined eyes watering more.

"I know that because you haven't yet and because that's not who you are." She wiped away a tear as it started to slide down his face. "I know this because you're scared of it Tero, meaning that you will do anything in your power to make sure it never happens." A small gasp and a choked back sound escaped Teros throat.

He curled around her hands shakily hovering behind her. She nodded and he quickly swept her up curling around her and letting out a quiet sob. She shushed him humming a song that she made up, the melody calming and full of love. then she started to sing.

the world is scary and we know that true but listen to me and listen to you despite our pasts and trials we are here there's no denial you are loved and seen and strong and kind and everything nice in between so ease your mind and know: it's going to be ok

Teros breathing started to calm and rosey made sure to kiss away every tear that was shed. Letting Tero know that she loved him, that she was here for them through hard times and good times.

Everything's going to be ok, even if we are unsure of what is to come, hold those you love close and they will hold you closer.

Steve harrington X Female Reader

Might be a bit self-inserted but I needed to hear this lol.

More angst but it has reassuring Steve

Triggers:talks of finances. Talks of doctors but not in depth.

Hope you all enjoy it! If you do please consider reblogging and commenting

Y/N has been extremely overwhelmed. She knows that if she talks to Steve he would listen to her and be as supportive as he can be but she just can't bring herself to talk about her problems with him. He has his own things going on in his life and she doesn't want to bother him with her issues.

Today has been the worst day she's had in a long time. First she gets told she can't register for spring classes until she pays her college fees, which she has no idea on how she'll get that much money. And then her doctor tells her she needs to do a bunch of testing for the next few months to figure out whats been going on. Y/N is riddled with anxiety, she just wants to go home and cry.

Driving home Y/N is struggling to focus, her eyes keep filling with tears and she just can't stop thinking of all the things that need to get done. ' gotta go make dinner' 'dishes need finishing' 'need to get a loan first thing tomorrow' 'need to make more doctor appointments' while all these thoughts are racing through her mind she doesn't even notice she pulled into the shared driveway she shares with Steve.

She grabs her things and walks to the door. Opening the door she shuts it and slides down to the floor. Sobs rack through her body with such aggression that her chest tightens. It feels like she can't breathe and this causes her to cry even harder.

Unbeknownst to her Steve was already home for the day, just in the other room he heard her unlock the door. Glee filled his body, 'She's home!' His eyes widen and the smile falls off his face just as quickly as it grew just seconds before. Hearing her sobs he races to the living room. The night before him kills him. It's a dagger to his heart. "Oh my God baby what happened?" Steve rushes to her side to help her in any way he can.

Steve sits on the floor with her and pulls her to his chest. Slowly he starts to rock back and forth with her in his arms. He's never seen her this distraught. Y/N starts to collect herself, the crying slows but once she starts rambling to him about the anxious spiral she's been experiencing all day the tears start right back up. This time, it was ten times harder.

Steve notices that Y/N is going into a panic attack and he remembers what she told him before. If I ever go into a panic attack, help me with my breathing. Instantly he starts to move her hand over his heart and he urgently yet calmly talks to her through her breathing.

"Breath with me baby. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Follow me." He demonstrates a proper breathing technique to help her through. Following his breath she feels herself start to calm.

Once her breathing is normal again Steve picks her up and they move to the couch. "Talk to me baby, what happened today?" Y/N starts to rant about everything, " I have to take out another loan for college or I can't register for any of my classes for next semester, my doctor told me I need a bunch of testing in the next couple of weeks to see what the issue I've been having is from and I just don't know what to do. Everything was okay and now it feels like the world is crumbling." Steve's own chest tightens hearing this. His girl was in pain and by the speed in her voice as she tells him all this it doesn't seem like she would have told him any of this, if he hadn't caught her crying to herself. "Princess….you can always talk to me. Always. Your problems are my problems, we're in this together. And I'm so proud of everything that you have accomplished. You can do anything but you can not do everything. I'll come to the bank with you tomorrow morning, we'll figure out your finances for your classes together. And for your doctor's, we will go to appointments together and we will go through whatever she has you do together." Y/N doesn't know how to feel. Her whole life she has felt like she needs to do everything herself, that if she asks for help she'll get ridiculed for it but here she is, having the love of her life talk to her about how he is here to help. In this moment she realizes that Steve is the love of her life, that he is the best person she has and she would never change that.

Things are hard right now. Life is hard. But they'll get through it together.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

"oh please everyone has gay thoughts sometimes" so what i'm hearing is that heteronormativity is so ingrained that a significant percentage of the population regularly experiences bisexual attraction? but dismisses it as something that all straight people experience? this is so concerning are you guys okay

[knifearo]

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

[tunapesto]

so when I die which I must do,
