#one burnt down recently 😭

𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐈
Note: These are my observations if it doesn't resonate scroll xx
Masterlist || Tip 🍯
𐂲 I've recently noticed, whatever sign your mars is in and whichever body part that sign rules, can often result in getting accidentally hurt or random in that part. (Example, Mars in gemini = getting hurt on arms/hands, in Capricorn = scalp/knees/teeth, in Aries = head/sometimes cheekbones, etc)
𐂲 One thing I've noticed about Virgo risings is how much they underestimate themselves, they also usually have trouble with anxiety and overthinking
𐂲 Mystic rectangles give a lot of balance to a person but it can also come with multiple internal hardships and conflicts (in forms of insomnia or mental illnesses) and they often need external help to reach their full potential
𐂲 Pluto - Neptune hard aspects especially squares bring into consideration the back and forth between transformation versus illusion, what I mean by that is they have trouble distinguishing patterns in their cycles and may think they're imagining changes rather than believing that it's real (I hope this makes sense I've been trying to word it for the past 5 mins)
𐂲 I know we talk a lot about Leo Risings having great hair but imo Pisces rising have such luscious hair, like they have sm volume and shine to them?? They also look like a waterfall, just flowing, it's so pretty <//3
𐂲 Saturn in 4th/5th/11th house can overshare on the internet about everything going on with their lives
𐂲 Pluto in 6th house feel powerful only when they're working, so they never stop and even when they feel burnt out, they feel their sense of self and self worth is only tied to what they can give, therefore they may face guilt when they try to rest.
𐂲 This is simply a personal observation/theory but I have noticed that people who have a lot of degrees that are higher in number like 20+ often feel more comfortable with people older than them especially if those degrees sit in Pluto or Saturn
𐂲 I've noticed Aries mercuries also have very heavy footsteps, you can hear the thump 😭
𐂲 12th house Pluto are their own best friend and worst enemy, they may enable bad habits for others and justify the same for themselves, HOWEVER once the natives know how to harness the power of Pluto and understand it better, they can be really influential because a lot of people may be subconsciously attracted to the power they possess.
𐂲 Can we talk about Leo risings and how good their self concept is? Like... Please teach me tysm
𐂲 LIBRA PLACEMENTS IN GENERAL HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME WITH HEALTHY BOUNDARIES I'LL CRY- I have a friend with Libra venus and she can never say no to someone especially if she starts liking them :// and it's so hard to see ppl just take advantage of her, I also have friends and relatives with Libra in the big 3 and not only are they complete givers, they also have such a hard time taking, they feel guilty.
✓✓✓ Going to be mean to some of my placements/aspects now
𐂲 Venus conjunct Mars are so fucking clingy but ALSO so flighty🤨🤨choose ??? Do you want to be in this relationship (platonic/romantic) or do you not, stop being so hot and cold (it may help if I tell you both of these are in gemini for me)
𐂲 Chiron - moon placements have mommy issues or wounds related to their mothers/maternal figures in their lives
𐂲 Jupiter virgos can be such doormats at times, just because you want to help people doesn't mean you keep emptying your cup to fill others'.
𐂲 Mercury in 1st have their self worth TIED to their intelligence, like stop flaunting your knowledge, low-key looks insecure.
𐂲 Jupiter opposition Uranus has such rebel without a cause energy, what are you going to "rebel" against now, please sit down for a second
𐂲 Mars Square Ascendant, people with this aspect are always ready to fight, feel like everything is a personal attack, and are terrible at being alone
✓✓✓ Back to your regularly scheduled programme
𐂲 Something I've wanted to say to each stellium I've met so far:
𐂲 Aries: You have a lot of life in you, hand some over🤲🤲🤲, seriously though you guys look at everything with such wonder and curiosity, you're also kinda impatient but that's fine with me :")
𐂲 Sagittarius: You're so cool, I want to be like you, introspective, self aware, your humour is a little concerning at times but you teach me so much all the time, you're the guide I've always wished for
𐂲 Leo: You're a born entertainer and at times I can be a bit envious because of how bright you shine, leaving me in the shadows, but I love you and your love for life regardless, you're a star
𐂲 Gemini: You are so stealthy in everything you do, sometimes you slip through the cracks, a trickster (affectionate), I love how you can be mischievous one second and completely serious the next
𐂲 2nd house: You're just so understanding and make me feel like home, it's like you are home personified, very warm and comforting, also so abundant in everything it's crazy
𐂲 8th house: Stop making me talk about my feelings I'll cry >:(( no but seriously, you guys have something about you that just makes people face what they're avoiding, and you are so good at empathising with them.

✧.* LADYBUG & BUGBOY.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— summary : peter realizes that he is in love with you.
— word count : 0,7k
— warnings : fluff, tiny bit of angst, fem!reader, petnames (ladybug), peter teasing reader & reader teasing peter back, childhood friends to lovers.
a/n : his brown doe eyes literally make me WANT TO SCREAMMMMMM!! he's so skrunkly, he's so pookie, he's so😭😭😭😭☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ also this is so messy sorry.
Tumblr media
the cold autumn wind blew as leaves start to dance outside your window. you smile, flipping through the photo book titled 'y/n and peter's adventures'. you realize that you share so many memories with peter, you two basically grew up next to each other.
"ooh! how about this one? do you remember that?" you point to the picture of you and peter on halloween night. you were posing with the biggest smile on your face and peter was doing the same.
"halloween, i remember." he nodded. "was that the halloween where you cried because one house ran out of kitkats?" you asked, laughing as your mind replays the memory. peter nods again.
you kept smiling as your mind continues to replay the memories you had together. you look across your room and spot your beat-up converses, which reminded you of when peter taught you how to do bunnyloops.
you turn and look at the band poster you had up, which reminded you of when peter introduced you to it. you quietly chuckled as you remember when aunt may told peter to quiet down one afternoon because she couldn't hear the oven go 'ding!' which led to her muffins being burnt.
you continue to flip through the pages, observing each photo.
"oh my god, look!" you gasp. it was a picture of 4 year-old you kissing 4 year-old peter on the cheek, he has the biggest smile, his cheeks were red, and you could hear aunt may and uncle ben's laugh behind it.
you squint to see the small writing - it reads 'valentine's day'.
"may said you look like you were head over heels for me in this." you could recall the exact moment.
peter nods, but you don't notice that.
what you do notice is that peter has been awfully quiet this entire time.
actually,
he's been awfully quiet this entire week. you try to remember anything he has said earlier today, but nothing pops up. did you even see him in school today?
you also realize that he hasn't tried to text or call you recently. i mean, he doesn't have to do any of that. but, maybe you were just expecting something from him, you know?
"you've been acting really off recently, peter." you say, breaking the awkward silence.
he hesitates. you can tell.
you wait for his response, but he doesn't seem like he's gonna reply. so you shrug it off and continue flipping through the photo book.
"i think it's because i'm in love with you."
whatever you were expecting from him. it was not that.
you pause. "don't. joke about that."
"what? did i almost get you?" he laughs. and suddenly he's back to being peter from last week.
"that's not funny!" you throw a pillow at him.
"aww, you're blushing." peter teases. "don't rub it in now." you reply, hiding your face in the photo book.
"you're the one who won't make eye contact with me." — "yeah. 'cause you're hard to look at. especially after whatever you just pulled there."
"did you just call me ugly?"
"wow. now you're putting words in my mouth. you're manipulative too, why would i want to look at you?"
"just say you like looking at me. don't be so stubborn." he continues to tease you.
but you have to admit, he does have the prettiest eyes you have ever seen.
"how can you just say these things so easily?" you question, looking up from the photobook.
"what if i can say it because it's true?".
you blink.
"i feel so bad for gwen and harry. they must have a hard time dealing with you."
harry and gwen have been peter's closest friends since middle school, and peter's only other friends.
"you're the only one i'm like this with."
"so what? you're really in love with me?" you can't tell if this is some sick joke peter's doing, or if he's actually serious.
"absolutely. head. over. heels."
"so, you wouldn't mind if i do this?" you held his hand. "what? hold my hand? you already do that in the hallways so you wouldn't get lost."
you nod, "but you're blushing."
peter face was blank. his cheeks grew red.
"you there? you talk so confidently for someone who can't do the same things you tease me with."
"... you're. terrible."
"you were actually being serious?"
"terribly serious, ladybug."
"ladybug?"
"you'll get it."

i saw anon ask this in my inbox, but i accidentally deleted it 😭 i hope anon would see this !
the brothers seeing mc use sfx makeup
heads up: gn!mc, swearing in lucifer's
lucifer
he hasn't seen you all day, so he assumes you haven't left your room
hm. he has spare time. what's wrong with checking in on you?
he knocks on your door, and patiently waits for you to open it
when you do, what greets him is the sight of you with blood everywhere on your face
your makeup had your left eye blackened out (you just closed it) with fake blood dripping right out of it. and you even took the liberty of making yourself paler than usual
mc. what. the. fuck.
right of the bat, he could smell toxins on your face, and deduced it was makeup
but that still doesn't stop him from freezing over
"lucifer... are you okay?"
"*clears his throat* yes, i am, mc. are you perhaps trying... very detailed makeup?"
he has mixed feelings about it
one, wow, you're talented, good job, you almost scared him, mc
second, the blood reminded him too much of something and someone
"mc... please give me a heads up when you try this... sfx makeup, if you would"
that would depend
mammon
he had a big win in one of the casinos he frequents, so of course you had to know too!
he stomps towards your door and barges into your roon without much of a warning
you flinched and accidentally got lipstick on your teeth, so look turned and glared at him
he SCREAMS
"MC WHAT THE HELL??????????"
you had makeup to look like your face was burnt, and it looked too realistic for his liking. with your glare, it made you look more terrifying
he was shaking in his place because he got so scared-
ehem! the GREAT mammon doesn't get scared, okay?!
still though, you sigh and you should gently apologize to him
"mc, you scared the bejeebers outta me! i- i mean... i was surprised! just surprised! this're the things you gotta tell me, alright?!"
from then on he learnt how to knock. but it's more like slamming on your door impatiently
leviathan
because of the extent of his knowledge in cosplaying, you wanted his opinion on something about your makeup. like the color of your eye contacts maybe
you knock on his door, and when he doesn't answer, you hear faint sounds of a game going off inside, so you took the liberty of going inside
there he was, busy in front of his computer on a game that probably just came out an hour ago
you waited for him to finish, so when he did, you called out his name
he flinched, sighing, "mc, you have to stop scaring-"
he turns around and pales
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
he threw his controller at you, which hit you square in the face
we are NOT forgetting about the fact that he's a literal grand admiral
of course you're falling down on your bum
"m- m- m- mc, i'm so sorry!!!!!!"
literally on his knees begging for forgiveness
after a while, the both of you calm down
he finally takes into detail with your sfx makeup, which looks like you were drowned in the sea and you had tears coming out of your eyes
"maybe gray would look great... or blue?"
he'd help with whatever you need, just don't scare him like that again, normie!
satan
he'd recently borrow a book from the human world from you, finished it in one sitting, and wanted to return it to you
he knocks on your door, and when you told him to come in, he did
you were in front of your mirror, but he wasn't in the angle to see your reflection
"mc, i wanted to return your book- oh."
you returned around, looking at him curiously
your makeup made an illusion where your face seemingly split apart in the middle, one side was crying, and one side was angry
it hit home for him, despite the absolute gore of a thing you have on your face right now
he just wore a frown on his face, making you have a feeling of worry, "satan... are you okay?"
he gets out of his head and nods
"i just wanted to return your book. sorry if i'm intruding on something."
you assure him it's fine, and he debates whether to stay or not
he does, he sits on your bed behind you
"what's your inspiration for that, mc?"
asmodeus
you were asking for some makeup suggestions these past few days which was he excited to share with you
"are you going somewhere, mc? oh, oh! can i come? i can, right?!"
you laugh and tell him it depends
it's been two days since you last asked for makeup suggestions, so he assumed you already have them
he skips towards your room with a happy hum, knocking on your door, "mc~ i'm coming in!"
he walks in, smiling brightly
you were just finishing up, and you turned around
he almost hurls
"o- oh... that's what you've been up to, huh?"
you had some sort of crown on top of your head, but it was broken in half. your face had distorted make up on it, scratch marks all over, broken jewels decorated around your face, and some sort of gunshot wound on your forehead
he walks closer to you, his smile coming back, "can i make some suggestions?"
he immediately got hooked
be ready for an impromptu photoshoot
beelzebub
he'd recently receive a coupon for one of the restaurants he always go to that everything will be 25% if you bring someone with you
he immediately thought about you
he happily walks to your room, a smile on his face thinking about how much food he'll be eating and that you would be there with him
he knocks like once, before he just opens your door
"mc, i got a coupon after winning- what are you doing?"
he tilts his head when you look like you were poking at something on your face with a brush
you turn around to find him standing there with said coupon in hand, "what is it, beel?" you ask
but he just freezes
you had yourself look like you were crying, burn marks all over your face, and you wore an eye contact on your right eye to make it look like it went blind
"beel?" you try calling out again
he shakes his head when he stops thinking and the smell of the makeup's toxins flaring in his nose
"oh... uhm. you look great, mc. i didn't know you could do that."
you thank him, and he went on with the tangent about the coupon
he's desperate in subtly ignoring the makeup
belphegor
it's rare, but somehow he got a nightmare
he forgot about it as soon as he woke up, but he was still feeling a little restless
he walks out of his and beel's room and walked downstairs
he finds your light still open, so he immediately decided to make it your problem
he just opens your door without any prior warning and sees you standing by your bed
he raises an eyebrow and calls your name
you turn around and he was dumbfounded
you black and white feathers scattered around your hair, your eyes were depicted to be swollen from crying, your nose is bleeding, a slice on your cheek, and half of your face was burnt
and it felt like his nightmare all over again
"mc...?"
he was frozen over and you had to frantically assure him it was makeup
it took him a while to respond to you, and just nodded
he slept in your bed with you that night
i had some inspirations from the internet, but most of them are little close to home heh
see what i did there?

Cookies?
Tumblr media
summary: It’s winter break and you’re in the Christmas mood. It’s too bad every time you bake or cook something it burns up, thankfully your boyfriend is close to being a chef.
pairing: yuki tsunoda x fem! reader
warnings: none!! all fluff :))
radio check 🪩: Taking a mini break from my series, I’ll be working on more oneshots and requests, so send some in!
LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO
Some would say it was too early to decorate for Christmas, let alone bake cookies for Christmas.
But the Formula One 2023 season had recently ended, meaning it was winter break. Meaning Yuki would be home for Christmas.
He was currently out grocery shopping, probably buying foods he was definitely not allowed to eat, but you weren’t going to stop him. The poor guy had to suffer enough with training.
You hum the beat of “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, trying your best to sing along to the song, but the high notes proving to be too difficult.
The timer you set for the gingerbread cookies goes off, a smile lights up your face, happy that the cookies would be done before Yuki gets home.
Opening the oven your smile slowly disappears, instead of seeing the cute gingerbread men you were met with burnt cookies and a cloud of smoke.
Then to make matters worse the door to your shared apartment opened, “What the fuck…Y/n?! It smells like fucking shit, what happened?” Yuki says, rushing into the kitchen area.
You look over at Yuki, a frown clear on your face. He smiled at your appearance, Christmas themed oven mitts and apron adorned on your body.
“The cookies…” You mumble out, looking back down at the burnt cookies. You pull them out from the oven and set them on the kitchen island with a sigh.
“Those are cookies?” Yuki asks, which earns him a slap on the chest. “I’m sorry!” He adds on.
“It was supposed to be a surprise for you” You pout out, crossing your arms over your chest.
Yuki smiles at you, pressing a kiss to your forehead (pretend that you’re shorter or the same height as him 😭) then one to your lips.
“I’ll show you how to make good cookies, don’t worry honey” He softly says, pressing one more kiss to your forehead.
Yuki throws out the burnt cookies, taking out all of the supplies you needed for the cookies. “I needed to use that?” You ask, picking up an ingredient you didn’t even know you needed.
Yuki looks at you with shock and disbelief, “How do you survive while I’m away racing?”
“Oh shut up!” You groan out, shoving him playfully. “I should’ve made you eat those burnt cookies” You grumble out, watching him start to make the dough.
“What did you say?” He asks playfully, knowing what you said. “Nothing!” You reply with a grin.
But before you knew it flour was all over you, coating your shirt and apron. You let out a shocked gasp and look up at a grinning Yuki.
“Oops!” He says with a chuckle. “You are so dead Tsunoda” You tease, narrowing your eyes at him as you grab a handful of flour and throw it at him.
Once you finished your flour fight, and forced Yuki to clean it all up, the cookies were finished somehow.
“Can I decorate one?” You ask, watching Yuki finish making the icing for the cookies.
“I don’t know, are you going to burn it?” He asks you teasingly with a smirk, “I swear I will force you to actually go on a diet and tell your trainer about all of your cheat meals”
Yuki’s face instantly drops to one of fear, “How many cookies do you want to decorate baby?” He says with a nervous smile.
“Good answer!” You say with a smile, pressing a kiss to his lips. You pick up some of the frosting with your finger and smear it on his face, then press one more kiss to his lips.
He lets out a light chuckle, “I think we should invite Kika and Pierre over sometime to make cookies together..” He mumbles out, starting to decorate some of the gingerbread cookies.
“That means Kika and I will have to watch you and Pierre flirt” You pout out, starting to help him decorate the cookies.
Yuki gives you a knowing look, “I know if you could date Kika you would, so don’t act all innocent”
“What!!! That’s not true!! Pfft..” You say with a smile and giggle.
Yuki simply smiles at you, thinking that you were the most beautiful and amazing girl he ever met.
In the background of it all, you could hear the singing of Micheal Bublés cover of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”.

The spinjitzu family has recently become my roman empire for some reason, you’re all going to see so much of them 😭
Anyway, i’ve been thinking about his relationships with his sons recently. And I know he doesn’t have a good relationship with any of them.
I know people argue ‘Wu was his favourite’ but i think if we actually look at how he acts, you realise he didn’t really have a favourite. I also feel personally inclined to respectfully mention that just because Garmadon said it, doesn’t make it true. Characters have biases that mess with their worldviews after all. It’s like saying Wu’s to blame for the devourer’s bite because he said he was. Even though he was like seven, maybe nine and had no idea that snake even existed.
Thats why you should take everything they say with a grain of salt and then consider their actions.
Wu’s relationship with his father is complicated. In the spinjitzu books he mentions how he wants his father’s approval, but doesn’t know how to start with getting it. We also get hints of the FSM’s (flawed) parenting methods in the show. I’ve noticed he’s emotionally distant even if he’s physically there. I mean, Wu says his father talked to them (Garmadon and Wu) less after the Aspheera incident. Makes me think that the FSM was definitely not there emotionally.
Due to this, Wu’s emotional needs as a child weren’t really met. His fathers distance hurt him and the FSM (maybe accidentally) neglected him. I say accidentally because i’m pretty sure the FSM is a traumatised child soldier who doesn’t know how to properly cope with everything so they just shut down/dissociate.
Wu was also raised with high expectations (alongside Garmadon.) This probably put him under a lot of stress to keep up. I’m thinking gifted child who got burnt out and more depressed as he aged.
I also think the FSM has trust and paranoia issues. You can look at Nineko and the way they went about dying for this. This guy really hands their son a script of where he died without telling him he gave it to him and mentions the bare minimum details. (I wonder if mentioning too much details got the FSM hurt. Maybe thats why he’s so distant.) Of course, trauma doesn’t really excuse being a flawed parent.
I also feel the need to mention that Wu unintentionally copies his father’s trauma responses. Heck, we could even talk about how Garmadon does the same, and later Lloyd. They all bottle their emotions and issues and hope nothing bad ever happens with that ever. Too bad for them though, we know how this ends
(Oof this is ✨generational trauma✨ at work)
Moving on to Garmadon, we know that after he got bitten by the devourer, the FSM helped him through his episodes and tries his best to find a cure. From this i can honestly say that the FSM did love and care for his sons. But this doesn’t mean they knew how to properly show that they did (especially because he doesn’t have a proper basis for what parent-child relationships should even look like.)
We see this when we get to know of Garmadon’s insecurities as a child. He doesn’t think there was anything wrong with him and seems to hate how the FSM tries to find a cure for him. Maybe because he doesn’t like the implication that he needs ‘fixing’ more than anything else. Garmadon’s also different than Wu in the sense that he grows more resentful of his father as he grows older whilst Wu clings to his father’s attention to get approval/praise.
I also want to mention how this resentment built up also affects how his perception of Wu’s relationship with their dad. He thinks Wu is favoured probably because Wu doesn’t have the venom and is the good one (because the venom apparently makes Garmadon the ‘bad’ one) and he sees his younger brother as the golden child. This probably built to jealousy and then guilt for the jealousy because Garmadon does love his brother a lot.
The high expectations also come’s into play here. It probably puts a lot of weight on Garmadon’s shoulders. Which doesn’t make his growing feelings of resentment better nor does it make his insecurities about his venom any better.
What makes this whole situation worse is that NO ONE in this family knows how to communicate. Wu doesn’t tell his dad or his brother how he feels, Garmadon doesn’t as well and FSM wouldn’t be caught breathing a word of his feelings to be honest.
This whole family would rather die than communicate ffs.
In conclusion:

So I recently got into Godzilla Minus One and in the novelization Godzilla made a symbiotic relationship with the islanders where they would give him gifts and in return he gives them fish.
Now imagine that with Sea Serpent Reader where she travels island to island and they see her as a protector/goddess of the ocean and gives her gift (nothing to drastic like a sacrifice) and in return she gives them food and protection. Let's say the that island manages to piss of the world government to the point of a buster call or Imu is about to destroy their island. Newsflash! Reader arrives and saves them and shows them the strength of what an enrage Sea Serpent can do
Tumblr media
[ GENERAL NEUTRAL READER]
STOOOP YOU'RE LITERALLY READING MY MIND AND ALSO THERES A NOVEL FOR GODZILLA FR 😭😭⁉️⁉️ this is genuinely my first time knowing that!!
OKAY OKAY I CAN SEE HOW THIS ASK GOES
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ever since Sea Serpent! Reader awoken from their deep slumber and just swimming island to island, helping marine life and bringing seafood stock up to smaller island, Sea Serpent! Reader is just exploring the world and stuff trying not to get noticed by the World Government.
One normal day you saw a small island that was newly destroyed, most of its town were burnt to crisp and the island was tilting to the ocean surrounding it. You quickly try to see what happened and you were relieved to see that their were still people but all of them were badly hurt and were slowly dying because of famine and their wounds, you quickly realized that this was a work of buster call, you quickly get to work, having a HUGE body came also with ridiculous strength, so you use your strength you tilted the island to its normal landscape making sure that it won't ever tilt again, but by causing so the survivor's of that island came out of their hiding spot and and saw the gigantic beast aka you come out the water to see your work, the survivor's were shocked and thought that you were there to end the last remaining of them but before they can throw more insults at you, they were greeted with your hand that opened to reveal a handful of fishes, and when you put it all down you went to your human form, you then came up to them to see that they were also badly injured and they didn't have much supplies. Since you've lived for a thousand or even millions of years and gathering knowledge, you slowly helped the villagers to be in shape, using your many years of knowledge of how to treat injured people and rebuilding the island again.
Slowly but surely the islanders saw you as a deity for how you help them during their worst, and for your endless kindness they keep on giving foods after your long voyage and they even built a shine for you and for the islanders to give their offerings to you. You tried your best to explain to them that you don't need the offerings after all they need it more then you but they truly insisted no matter how many times you visit to check up on them your shrine would be filled with many delicious foods that were still piping hot, and the islander would even throw festivals when you come and visit, all the island kids will jump on your tail and use it as a slide, you can't decline or say no to them and with that you gave to accept the offerings they gave you.
And when the World Government sniffed this out that the country they tried to destroy was infact now striving and being helped by a "Sea deity" they immediately called for another buster call on the island.
When your heard the calls of help of the island, you swam as fast as you could and as your entrance you crushed a NAVY ship with you huge tail, they shouldst really have enrage the Sea Serpent themselves now they have to pay the price of the innocent civilians they hurted before.
AA such a cool ask tbh! I can see that this is how the World Government took noticed on Sea Serpent! Reader!!

Hi Theitsa! half Greek in America here, looking for translation help and you're the only blogger I know 😭
long story short: my family on my mom's side all practice Greek folk magic, with my great-grandma and(possibly my great aunt)apparently being "completely" a witch.
i grew up with it but i'm still learning the language and my family disowned me for being gay so I can't ask for help with research.
the most commonly used term for "witch" is "magissa"/ μάγισσα right?? is μαγεία more common for magic in general? when I'm using Google translate γητεία seems to be the most common term for folk sorcery.
and i see the practices of Circe referred to as μαγγάνεια??
thank you for your help if you know anything, I know it's a niche topic.
bless you!!!
Hii! Dear anon I'm very sorry for what your family did to you :/ That's nor fair at all! May you thrive and be always blessed in your life!
This topic is not niche, actually! The average Greek in the country has some basic contact and knowledge of such stuff either by doing some or by hearing of them. I haven't talked a lot about Magganeia/Vaskaneia in Greece so let's do a Masterpost!
(Greeks with deeper knowledge please add to this post and let me know if something is inaccurate! All I have is "average Greek" knowledge but well, someone has to make the start.)
People throughout Greece (as in the whole Balkans and the Middle East tbh) practice a lot of customs to bring good energy and good things to them or expel bad energies and bad things. The most prevalent being the ritual of xematiasma (the prayer for which needs to be passed down by the opposite sex on a full moon), or customs with bridal koufeta for young girls to attract a good groom, reading the coffee and the palm, explaining dreams (and having recorded oneirokrites), giving new year talismans for good luck (mati beads, pomegranate charms, horseshoes) and hanging them around the home, or baking a pie to St. Fanourios if you want to find something you lost etc etc.
Traditionally such practices in Greece are intertwined with local customs and herb knowledge and it's not a big "issue" like it would be for USAmerican (cultural or practicing) Evangelicals. In Greece it's acceptable to do many things that in the US would be considered "witchcraft" but here they're just "tradition".
For Greeks the basic stuff I mentioned in the first paragraph is widely accepted to the point many of them have fused with church practices through the centuries. Coffee shops where one can have their coffee and palm read - although not many - have lots of customers. Tarot readers also have a good clientele. I've heard Greeks dismiss such stuff as "nonsense" but rarely dismiss them as "evil". Actually, the comments about such practices being evil here are very tame and usually connected to the church - but not in the US way.
Our Church might have cried about such practices in the past but... who listens to the church on these things! :P (only a few do) Our insistence on keeping folk practice led to Greece having no witch hunts or any witches burnt for at least a thousand years now!
Tumblr media
Map of witchhunts in early modern Europe (source)
There is a line here, too, of course. Like, if one uses a heart from a mouse wrapped in an oak leaf bathed in frog bile to expel the bad spirits (a spell I just made up) that's officially "witchcraft" and we find it weird at best. More mild stuff like burning wishes written on paper or letting garlic absorb bad energies and then burn it are middle ground and not outright condemned - I feel the Greeks have a great tolerance of what is considered "folk tradition" to them.
The fear of being "pagan" in recent centuries is a Western panic. Traditionally Greeks and their Church were most worried about harmful spells (which included harming an animal or human in the process) and calling demons to do your bidding. If you called a saint for help in a non-harming spell... hmm that wouldn't be that worrying I guess. As long as you didn't ask a priest's opinion, you'd be fine :P
The sum of acceptable and unacceptable practices by the Greek public can be called "μαγγανεία" or "βασκανεία". Because they include unacceptable practices as well, the words have a negative connotation.
Tumblr media
"Μαγεία" for Greeks is connected more to the Western archetype of a wizard with a tall hat going around with a big rod shouting "abracadabra". It's connected more to fantasy and fairytales. Traditionally I don't think we used μάγος/μάγισσα for people who did such practices. Even today I've yet to hear Greeks who call themselves witches say "κάνω μαγικά".
I'd say μαγγανεία or βασκανεία are the appropriate terms for what your great-grandma practiced. The spells are traditionally called γητείες (sing. γητεία). The word γόης which now means "very charming man" meant "sorcerer" in ancient years. We just use it metaphorically today. These words all have the same linguistic root.
Nowadays I haven't heard men call themselves "μάγος" but some women call themselves "μάγισσα", and they do "ξόρκια" (comes from εξορκισμός, exorcism - the English version of the Greek word). I think "μάγισσες" practice more Western types of magic because they learned the spells from Western European or US books and videos. I don't know if a practicer of Greek folk spells would be called the same.
I must note that all the above is the reason why when USAmericans practice Greek customs to worship the Greek gods and call themselves "pagans" feels a bit unsettling to me. I suppose if you add crystal balls and tarot and crystals to the practice that would shift it more to the "witchy" side (although as a Greek I'm quite flexible :P) But more than once I've seen USians call themselves "pagans" for simple acts of worship which are very much non-pagan. Having a home altar with the gods along with some blessed items and candles burning... is Basic Christian Orthodox stuff too, a tradition unbroken from ancient years (εικονοστάσια με καντήλια, κεριά, λουλούδια, κομποσκοίνια).
At the same time, I understand that in their society this can be called "being pagan" so I'm not saying that my view is the only one that matters in this. But some knowledge of the Greek culture always helps if you're practicing its customs. It will also help the Westerners stop calling Orthodoxes "savage pagans" for our religious practices after a thousand years :))))
Thanks for making it this far! Get a small bonus: a great article on ancient Greek "bindings/wishes" which is in Greek and it will be probably still fine if translated through Google.
Some things might differ between areas and eras so that's why I welcome other Greeks to comment here with their own experiences and stories of "witches" (or whatever they called them) if their areas had any.

Hey! I've been following your AO3 skin for a while now, and I was curious if you had any updates on your progress? It's so pretty, I'm so excited qwqqq
Thank you sm for following it, and thank you everyone else reading this for following it! I still see a lot of activity around this skin in my notes, and truly touches me. (And there's another really nice anon message in my inbox I want to answer soon bc it truly boosts my mood so much every time I see it, if that's also yours I'm sorry for leaving you on read 😭)
Basically the gist is despite pacing myself to avoid burnout, I got burnt out. Unrelated, my mental health took a nose dive, education intensity picked up, and more recently a family member got into a critical accident. I've been juggling a lot for a very long time and it sorta all fell down one after another.
Another reason is it's,, man it's so hard to pick up, the css is so hefty and with three parts it's a complex ol' beast, and on top of that each edit needed double checks to make sure it wouldn't break something elsewhere (which it often would!) and then being faced with multiple bugs/issues that I still have yet to sort,, wow that's a lot to mentally go up against.
But it's still here tho and alive!!
It's actually still my main driver when I use Ao3 and has held up with Ao3's changes very robustly these past months, which gives me a lot of hope to its longevity outside me. My life's been a bit on the up and up. And I have been thinking about it a lot in the recent month and have started to softly fiddle with it again.
This isn't a promise I'm getting back into it with the intensity I had before, right now, but It's still very much a project I consider active, on the mind, and want to get back to as soon as I have the mental strength.
I hope that's an adequate update to where I am on everything for everyone 🥰
E: My goal is basically to get it to a fully functional smoothed out state as soon as possible (right now I consider it fully functional but rough with a lot of issues most would not find tolerable), fix as many bugs as I can, but I'm not going to be a perfectionist. I hope that once I release it other people can join on smoothing out any issues it has, since I've kept everything painstakingly notated so other people can pick it up. Ao3 is a community project and I want Hesperus to ideally be the same 💕

What is the akatsuki like?
Tumblr media
hiiii my loves🫶🏻sorry for my inactivity, I’ve been really busy with work😭 for those who have never seen my page, I’m a shifter, mostly to Naruto, but I also shift to Bleach, demon slayer, arcane, and JJK. Everything I post is based on my DR.
I’m going to start off by saying the akatsuki are my family, we may not be blood related at all but our bond as friends is unbreakable🖤I truly feel accepted with them^.^
Also! We have 4 extra members of the akatsuki, who will be added to this description!
Konan: she’s a quiet natured woman, calm and level headed yet calculated. I swear I’ve never seen her scared or even anxious. She’s so strong, physically and mentally! She’s a romantic too. In my DR she’s married to Pain, and Nagato and omg. Such a lover girl, it’s the cutest thing seeing her with them. (Only time I see her get flustered☺️)
Pain: just like his wife, he’s more on the quiet side. He handles handing out tasks and assigning missions. If he’s not away on a mission himself, you’ll most likely find him tucked away in his office handling the countless paperwork the man has to handle. He enjoys reading and learning to cook(he isn’t the best and has burnt more things than making anything edible. Konan is teaching him :)
Nagato: lives in Amegakure and comes to visit every once in a while. He handles a lot of more private affairs which is why he doesn’t live with us full time. Insanely powerful and every time he visits, he trains 1on1 with every member to help strengthen our skills. He’s really kind and gets nervous easily lol!
Itachi: he recently went through a break up and for a while was rather down about it but his spark came back! He’s insanely patient and an absolutely amazing big brother. Sasuke will come visit time to time or he’ll pop into the hidden leaf to visit his parents. Family is everything to him. He keeps his bedroom neat and clean, everything has their own place lol. His favorite genre of movies is thriller
Kisame: for starters, the dude is MASSIVE. In height and size in general. He works out daily, and before the end of the day will be found outside training. Itachi is like a brother to him, he can read Tachi like an open book and tends to know when he’s upset before Itachi even realizes it himself. Was quite the ladies man before getting into a committed relationship with a sweetheart ^.^
Zetsu: May be a bit of an odd ball but I mean that in a sweet way. His sense of humor is rather interesting and tends to be funny when he can’t read the room. Likes to magically appear to scare people or to pass on messages from other members. He’s very close with Tobi and myself so he’ll hang out with us time to time when he’s bored
Orochimaru: tends to be in his lab, all the time. If any of us want to hang out with him, we’d have to go downstairs and enter his laboratory to do so. He doesn’t mind it, he enjoys the company and isn’t afraid to admit as such. Weekly, he’ll visit the Hidden Leaf to have lunch or dinner with Lady Tsunade and Jiraiya. (Was the one to encourage Jiraiya to finally ask Tsunade out, and they’ve been together for quite some time now!)
Kabuto: he’s surprisingly super shy. He only trains with Orochimaru and only does so when the compound is primarily empty. He’s very respectful and just like Itachi, he’s very patient.
Zabuza: level headed, and an extreme strategist. Rather loud, especially when he talks about something he enjoys. Tends to work out with Kisame a few times a week. Haku is his assigned partner and they’re away a lot of the time, as they both like to be on the move but Zabuza always enjoys being able to come home and relax on the couch, watching a movie. (Doesn’t have a favorite genre, he’ll watch anything)
Haku: soft spoken and kind. Can be a smart ass which is rather amusing because he always has a comeback for everything. Enjoys baking, and on the days he’s not running around, you’ll find him in the kitchen, reading from a book as he works on a new recipe.
Deidara: confident! He’s proud of his scars and doesn’t shy away from past mistakes or ‘failures’. He’s also what a lot of the akatsuki refer to as a pretty boy since anytime we all go out, the girls flock to him. Takes pride in his hair and appearance but he’s never cocky. Has never outright said it but it’s presumed he’s bisexual🥰
Sasori: just like orochimaru, he tends to be in his room, working on new creations and preparing damaged puppets. Deidara will also be found in his room more times than his own. Doesn’t smoke like some of us do but he’ll enjoy a nice cold glass of sake at the end of a tiring work week
Tobi: goofy, childish, flamboyant, and easily excitable. Now, sometimes this persona will falter, mostly whenever he’s in our shared room where Obito takes over. As Obito, he’s much more reserved, dominant, intimidating and a major softy. He helps me work on repairs(I have my own business of custom made weaponry, Kunai’s shuriken, etc) he’s also a medical ninja, and his level is very close to Sakura’s.
Kakuzu: quiet, and grouchy. Tends to not be as vocal about his affections unless him and I are alone. He’ll never admit it but loves having his hair played with or back scratches. Has fallen asleep in my lap from me doing so. His favorite food is onigiri, all kinds of doesn’t matter what the middle is filled with. He’s not a picky eater in the slightest. Just like Kisame, he’s massive. He’s the tallest member, standing at 6’5.
Hidan: anytime he’s in the mood, he’ll team up with Tobi. It’s a recipe for chaos. If he wants attention, he’s taken after what Tobi does and have multiple shadow clones ‘annoy’ me until I give in and pay attention to him lol. Hidan is very in tune with his emotions and knows when he needs to step away and take a break from things. He’s also an affectionate drunk, so he’ll be found wrapping his arms or his body around me. Trailing along behind me like a lost puppy🥺
If you got this far, thank you☺️
Ps: if you want to know more, please send in requests, I love talking with you guys. Also don’t be scared to ask about my other DR’s, or even a specific person!

heyy not to hit u with another request for an analysis lmao but i’d love to hear your take on the bigger than me mv! i only watched it recently but i thought the number of sticks (7 i think?) that louis picks up along the way and the difference in their size/where they’re found/what condition they’re in as well as the smaller stick he pockets at the end seem significant. i know louis prefers to keep a lot of creative choices open to interpretation and likes a healthy dose of mystery in his symbolism (still no idea what 369 means beyond the manifestation method😭) so perhaps it’s a lost cause to try to decipher this haha
I think Louis did mention once that the Bigger Than Me video didn’t have any specific allegory, or that it was open to interpretation.
To me, Louis’ choosing BTM as the first single from FITF, after a long pandemic and delayed tour, shows that the pandemic was an introspective time for him. He reflected on the state of his career and he was ready to switch directions.
It was a different kind of song from Walls singles— bigger in every way, with a grander vision and bolder sonics, more challenging vocals, more yearning for community and engagement.
Visually, Louis chose an ethereal, grand location for the music video, and it was shot with no expenses spared. The director commented that he used cinematic equipment and proportions to frame the video. The drone shots contrasted the immensity of the natural elements with the smallness of the single human being— an isolation that’s increasingly rare on earth.
Let’s contrast the BTM video with Walls, and their separate depictions of “being alone.” In Walls, the location was also a place of relative isolation— the desert. Louis looked into mirrors to find himself, in fantasy rooms where he was the single person surrounded by paired dancers, as the center of a literal target on the floor, in the darkness where demonic faces crowded him, and— most memorably— stranded high on a wall, abandoned. His direction, his “goal,” was the mirage of a door in the desert.
In BTM, Louis is surrounded by the lushness of nature in green and earth tones. The video is tinted with warm overlay. Louis’ photoshoots leading to the album release emphasized green and orange complementary tones— secondary colors, compared to the primary red of Walls. Moreover, Louis is not directionless in BTM— at the very start of the video, he sees the bonfire in the distance. The distance was vast, but still human in scale— eventually, with enough travel and persistence, he reached it.
The imagery and feel of BTM reminds me of these lines from One Direction’s Long Way Down:
Tumblr media
“Sailed an ocean and drowned in the waves” acknowledges the naïveté of the nautical imagery, “My hands, your hands/ Tied up like two ships/ Drifting, weightless/ Waves try to break it” in 1D’s Strong (but later, Louis reuses the metaphor to signify taking ownership of his life in Paradise). “Built a cathedral/ but we never prayed” also precedes the church of burnt romances in Only The Brave.
(Off track and not to be a sap but Louis did also write on History and these lyrics, after seeing AOTV, are gut-wrenching:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bigger Than Me shows Louis walking a long path toward a large fire— both a purifying and transcending metaphor. The sticks he carries throughout his journey range from large to small. The large ones are heavy, burdensome, yet he starts walking with the largest, and eventually tosses it in.
The bonfire is maybe an acknowledgement that some things are not worth carrying forever, but worth releasing into the world, worth leaving behind in ether. The fire is like a ceremonial ritual, a formal way of letting go. Instead of him “going down in flames,” Louis is able to control what he keeps and what he burns. The purification can result in rebirth and renewal; fire is a natural part of earth’s being reborn. The small stick he keeps in his pocket is a memento of Louis’ journey, literally and figuratively.
The number 7 is a coincidence; there are also seven roses in the 28 Official Programme logo. It’s a lucky number. 1/4 of 28.

i found ur profile recently and omg i am obsessed >_< i especially love the redesigns (if u can call them that), but example, chubby Matt. I never understood how he was so skinny in the anime & manga. like i get that he's the 3rd smartest kid in the wammys and that L said smth like "thinking burns calories", but STILL 😭. my guy lives off of junk food and cereal and plays video games all day, aint no way he would be so skinny. and i think i love Mello with short hair even more. in that one drawing where Matt was reassuring Mello about his scar, i really liked how his hair is like missing (srry i suck at english 😓) where the burn is. I also never understood how his hair stayed basically untouched, while half of his face and shoulders were burnt. and there's like this idk comforting feeling of ur artstyle that calms me down. so yeah, love ur art and AUs!! ^_^
Thank you so much for the sweet words!! 💚💚
My thoughts exactly regarding skinny Matt and Mello's hair!! I love making the characters more realistic, touchable & relatable but it takes a bit of courage to change the original design to a degree the character is still recognisable. But honestly: detwinkifying Matt was by far the best decision yet.

HIHIHII I've come back with more silly little questions (I don't even wanna imagine how PACKED your askbox is rn but ty for your service pookie, I love how the story is coming together!)
1. Are the princes and princesses allowed to have pets? If so then do they have any? How much are there and what are their names? And secondly if they aren't allowed, have they tried to keep any pets a secret from their siblings/mothers/maids and other workers?
2. Do the ROs have any embarrassing secrets/moments that they would like to keep hidden from MC forever?
3. Does the MC learn how to fight at some point (learn how to use a sword or any other weapon, or maybe learn magic?) and/or learn how to ride a horse for a little cdrama moment?
4. Are any of the princes and princesses skilled in using magic and if so or not, have they made little oopsies while using said magic?
~💖 anon (I'M SORRY FOR THE MANY MANY QUESTIONS 😭)
Hello! Welcome back! ❤️ My inbox is actually very empty right now. I think I may have accidentally scared people to not send in asks skdjksdj
Anyway, I love all the questions! Since there's a lot, I put them below the cut!
1. Yes! Pets are allowed in the palace. It usually depends on the current ruler, but pets are allowed! As for current pets, I don't have a full list written down, so here are ones I know off the top of my head:
Consort Re has a really old and grumpy cat. It likes to bite and scratch everyone that's not Consort Re or her children.
Lunsu has a hunting dog named Wonton. He's very spoiled and fat so... not really a hunting dog anymore!
Dapang has a horse named Midnight and a snake named named Pearl
Luexia has a big fluffy cat named Mooncake
MC has a pet. You can choose between a dog, cat, bird, or snake.
Casao has a few birds! (and a tiger at one point)
Kenlu has ants (like the bug)
The others younger than Kenlu are too young to own their "own" pets, so they share with their siblings.
Consort Xing won't let animals in her palace. So none of her children have any. Duanzu has tried to sneak several animals in, but he's always caught.
2. Probably!
3. MC kind of already knows how to fight and ride a horse. They aren't very good, but it's basic lessons all princes and princesses undergo since the Consort Wars. But there will be a CDrama moment!
4. I really want to talk about the magic system, but I'll hold off and just answer your question.
All of them can do magic. Everyone in Nian can do magic. But some people have more Magic Aptitude than others.
In the case of the Nan family, those are: Kutuo, Shuailu, Luexia, Kenlu, and, recently, Quanying.
In Nian, Magic Aptitude tests are given yearly to all children who are 5 by a specific date. The tests measures various different aspects of the a person's magic and then categorizes them. If you want to know more, just send another ask!
That said, the ones with more Magic Aptitude, are actually less likely to have a little oopsie! But all of them (besides the ones with Magic Aptitude) have done an oopsie! Some may have nearly burnt the palace down, not naming names 👁, while others are less disastrous.

Tagged by @newengland-shrike ❤️
Relationship Status: Married... more amicably than the last time I answered this question xD
Favorite Color: Greens, but I'm also keen on burgundy, burnt orange, and all teals (dark esp).
Song Stuck in Head: Ends of the Earth (Lord Huron)
Favorite Food: This recipe recently :)
Last Song Listened To: Photograph (Def Leppard)
Dream Trip: Anywhere I could be alone for a week sounds like a dream, honestly 😭 But for locations, somewhere alpine and quiet. The urge to curl up in a ball and hibernate is (maybe concerningly) strong right now.
Last Show: Critical Role, Campaign 1
Spicy, Sweet, or Savory: Savory!
Last Thing Googled: Pelennor. I was having a sibling discussion about Eomer (as one does) and doubted myself on that second n.
Favorite Game: I've been debating this for a week, since that tag-it post went around and you know what... I think it's RDR2 🫣 Explanation below the cut.
Going into it, I had zero interest in the premise/context and would have rejected it outright if I'd realized it didn't have dialogue options but.... They f*cking NAILED it. The way they built choice in without interrupting the flow.. And how the hell they put you so far inside Arthur's head is still a mystery to me. The emotional immersion is the best I've ever played. Hands down. Enough so that most people I know stopped playing mid-Chapter 4 because it's just... you feel it. Iykyk. But it works inversely too? I literally breathe more deeply wandering around West Elizabeth and the Grizzlies. Not a single game out there feels more peaceful to me. And stunning. So stunning. Story's amazing. Cast is amazing. Music is amazing. I don't know. It's a fucking journey, man. Everyone should play it once 😭
(Except maybe anyone teetering on the edge of depression... For me, it was catharsis, but I can see it going the other way. It's not gentle.)
This is similar to another recent one, so double no pressure tagging @brasideios @findusinaweek @leofrith @krankittoeleven @childrenofeden :)

Hello everybody~!
So, since this month is Mermay, I wanted to do a little something for it. I've been a little burnt out on asks lately, but I've taken a break for a few days to focus on some personal projects/stories and recharge myself. I'm getting back on track to answering things again, though, while working on the fics from the last poll, so look forward to that! UvU
Now, what I've got are two options for this Mermaid!AU (where Yuu is a human in both version and the characters are mermaids based off of Floyd's nicknames for them), and one of them is going to wind up being the main one I will focus on once I finish the prologue for it. However, I do have bits from random points in both stories that I've already written and wanted to share!
For the Marine Biologist!AU, Yuu/reader/MC is a marine biologist intern who is assigned to a facility that recently came across seven groups of mermaids from an island that appears only once a year out of nowhere. Yuu winds up being one of the only ones able to get anywhere near them to feed and monitor them--which is a huge responsibility! Can these two worlds come together? Will Yuu help find a way to get them back home?
As for the normal Mermaid!AU, Yuu/reader/MC winds up shipwrecked after a scuba diving trip goes wrong, lost on an island filled with mermaids and strange bird-like humanoids who seem closely intertwined with the nature of the island and its ecosystem. Can Yuu find a way to get past the island's guardian to get home, or will they be trapped on the island forever? Will they discover the secrets of the island and the connection humans once shared with these primal forces of nature?
Like I said, I do wanna do both of these stories, I'm just gonna focus on one specific one 😅 In the meantime though, since it's Mermay, I wanted to spoil you guys with some stuff I'd written down! >v< Keep in mind that since they're random skits, there are things that will change as ideas come to me on how to approach this, and I get a set timeline set up.
Poll will be open for a day versus a week because I'm impatient and curious 😂 I may even answer some questions about the AU as well, though we'll see~

shroomieeeieei 😔
its been kinda rough these past few days and the week has only started 😭 is it okay if i can have fullscore trio hcs with a fatigued and burned out gn reader? ive been feeling very tired with my workload recently. if that's too much you can just do one of your choosing, doesn't really matter to me. tysm <3
This is exactly how I’ve felt which is why I’ve been using this schedule. 😭 I really hope it all gets better for you. Thank you so much for the request, hope you enjoy!
🩷☁️N E R D Y S L E E P Y B U N N Y☁️🩷
Fandom(s): The Promised Neverland
Character(s): Norman, Ray, Emma (ft Isabella/Mom)
Reader: Gender neutral (you/they/them)
TW: None, just fluff!
Style: Hcs
Summary: You feel extremely burnt out and unmotivated, so the trio (separate) help you out!
Tumblr media
Norman:
Ever since the escape plan had been mentioned you’ve been devoting all your free time to working on it, including play time. All the children, including Norman, were getting worried. Yet you insisted that you were just fine and were simply working out some things.
It got to a point where you skipped meals and even stayed up instead of sleeping.
Norman would wake up in the middle of the night to see you sketching out a layout and taking some notes before thinking of the pros and cons, then crumpling up your failed idea and throwing it to the side before starting anew. He’d quietly scold you before bringing you to bed with him and holding you tightly in his embrace so you couldn’t escape, you eventually giving up and staring around the room, instead doing the calculations in your head. You usually only got 1 hour of sleep if not then none.
Norman eventually got used to you not showing up to meals, and would keep your food hot to the best of his abilities whilst eating his food. Once eating time was over, he’d walk up to your room and bring you your food. Though he’d begin to notice how you only took a few bites before completely ignoring it and focusing on your work.
He soon got fed up and confronted you about it, but you wouldn’t budge. He soon gave up and instead just tried to take care of you to the best of his abilities. But over time, the sleepiness and hunger caught up to you, to the point you could barely function. You awoke in the infirmary after passing out in a pile of crumpled papers (luckily Mom didn’t find a single one), with a worried Norman by your side.
“Please (Y/N), never do that again..” You could only be ashamed of yourself as you saw the albino whimper and cry. You hadn’t realized how much you were hurting him. When you got out of the infirmary, everyone assumed you were fine. But in reality you were still out of it. Walking and talking was a challenge, so Norman walked with you and didn’t question it when you didn’t respond to something. He saw this as you learning your lesson, but didn’t rub it in your face.
Eventually, the physical effects had long since healed, but you were still mentally exhausted. You tried your absolute best, but you had no motivation to do anything, instead only being able to lay on your bed all day and occasionally eat. Norman assumed you were overworking yourself again but was surprised when he walked i to your room to see you nowhere near your work, instead you seemed to be avoiding it like the plague, getting stressed and uncomfortable when it was brought up. Finally, you gave up the act, and collapsed onto Norman’s lap with tears filling your eyes.
“Norman… I can’t do this anymore. I can barely function. I don’t want to do anything anymore..” You sobbed, soaking his shirt, but he didn’t mind.
“Lay down and rest for as long as you need to. I’ll get everything done for you.”
“Really?…” You could barely lift your head to look into his ocean eyes, but when you tried to, it was pushed back down into his chest.
“Yes, now stop pushing yourself to do things. Your body is exhausted. You and your body need rest.” You could barely listen to his words as you made yourself comfortable on your bed. Norman smiled at your sleeping form before walking over to your abandoned work. He looked over your sketches and notes and quickly built a plan, one that wouldn’t fail. He disposed of all the evidence and hid the final paper behind his bed, where he’d tell everyone the plan tomorrow. For now, he needed to give you the attention and care necessary to get you back to your old self.
Ray:
You just had so much on your plate. It was so little work that could be done within just a few hours, but today was just not your day. Everything around you was stressing you out and you didn’t know what to do.
Mom wanted you to do chores, the kids wanted you to play with them, Ray wanted to read with you, you have to help with the escape plan, and you have to pretend you don’t know the secret. It was too much for you to handle, and not knowing what else to do, you cried. You hid yourself deep in your blankets and sobbed into a pillow.
Ray was walking towards the library when he suddenly heard a noise coming from your room. Cracking the door open and peeking in, he saw you sobbing your little heart out. His soft spot immediately came out and he rushed toward you, patting your head.
“(Y/N), what’s wrong?” He pulled you out of your hiding place and allowed you to sob into his shirt until you could speak.
Your tears finally came to a stop and you pulled away, drying your face with your sleeve, telling him your worries. The boy laughed a bit and ruffled your hair.
“I could easily help with that.”
“You can?”
“Yeah, I can take care of your chores, Norman or Emma can play with the kids, and I can just read to you. The Mom part is easy, just be yourself. Don’t show any signs of fear and don’t be suspicious. You need to think of reasonable excuses on the spot. I know you can do that.” You smiled at the raven haired boy and fell into his embrace once again.
“Thank you, Ray…”
“Yeah, now lay down. You want a snack or anything?” You shook your head no and he nodded, laying down next to you and pulling out the book he was holding before he came in here. Flipping to the page you two finished on, he began reading aloud to you as you rested your head on his shoulder and finally relaxed.
Emma: (this one is more female-based but still gn!)
You were on your period and just didn’t feel like doing anything, so you did just that. You and Emma were best friends, and did everything together. You were inseparable. So she of course began to get worried when you stopped hanging out with her to instead stay in your room. Did she do something wrong?
Eventually she decided to confront you about it, so she marched upstairs to your room and knocked on the door. When there was no answer from you, she opened the door and let herself in. She was mortified by the sight.
You were curled up on your bed, clutching your stomach and grumbling, shifting around trying to get comfy. There were tissues, toilet paper (let’s pretend there’s no pads cuz you aren’t expected to get your period at this age, so you gotta do it the tp way 🥲) and snacks covering your night stand. Your hair and room was an absolute mess. Emma got the hint that something was wrong but didn’t know what, since none of the orphans knew what periods were, not even you since this was your first. You just knew you were in pain and bleeding like crazy.
She ran over to you and held you in her arms.
“(Y/N) what’s wrong?! Are you hurt?!” You weakly nodded, and she began screaming for Mom.
Isabella came rushing in, seeing the mess of you. You were put in the infirmary, and you told Isabella your symptoms. She laughed, soon realizing what was wrong with you.
“You’re on your period, dear.”
“My what?”
“Your period, it comes every month.”
“Why?”
“I’ll explain when you’re older, dear (Y/N).” You grumbled in defeat, staring down at your stomach which felt like it was eating you from the inside.
“So I have to suffer every month?”
“I’m afraid so. It usually lasts for a week, but there are ways to ease your pain. I can also help you with the blood.” Isabella got you pads and a heating pad. She was shocked you were the first to get a period, she’s never had to deal with this before. First time for everything I suppose.
You told Emma what Mom told you so she’d somewhat understand your situation, but you made her promise not to tell anyone, especially the boys. She happily pinkie promised.
Whilst you were “sick”, as Emma told everyone to cover for you, you were completely unmotivated to do anything. It hurt to move, and you felt exhausted. Either Mom or Emma brought you your food, and Mom put your testing thing on a platform with wheels so you could take your daily tests in bed. Emma would visit you multiple times a day, only leaving your side for testing or when she had to go do something. You eventually told her about your lack of motivation and your mood swings, to which she was quick to comfort you.
“Don’t worry, I know your period makes you feel certain ways you wouldn’t normally feel. Mom said these usually last a week, and it’s been 5 days! You’ll be back to your old self in no time!” You smiled at her positivity and opened your arms for her, to which she happily collapsed into.
“Thank you Emma, I love you.”
“I love you too (Y/N)!” You felt better already. Yes, she was right, things would be back to normal soon.
