The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!

- Lay out or hang up outfits for your week or day. Hang the shirt, pants, underwear, and socks together so in the morning you can get ready quickly.

- Keep easy snacks in your different bags, protein bars and shakes, crackers or chips, dried fruit, etc.

- Likewise, keep some of everything in multiple places. Lip balm, medications, lotion, tissues, masks, etc. Let yourself have a few safety nets.

- Make a main bag your storage area for the items you take with you every day. Keep your wallet, keys, books, etc. in the bag instead of trying to collect them all daily.

- Trust your brain and body to know their limits. If you find yourself unable to do the productive thing you have been trying to, release the pressure of doing it right now. It may come to you after there isn’t so much pressure, or after you’ve taken a rest.

Not “gave”. Shoved.

Because he didn’t have the strength left to hand it over gently.

Time, life, trust — all compressed into that one impact.

And Steve caught it.

Not just the reactor. He caught the last thing Tony couldn’t say.

I didn’t think much when I drew this. Looking back now, maybe what I’ve always been drawing is the moments where there’s no time to say things properly.

i struggle so much with it 😭 it sounds good in my head but then i re-read it and it sounds terrible. HELPPP

𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐭.. made easy

before i start i want to say... mother do not read this.

ok the core of all good smut is, tension (and if the reader is in the right mood to read smut)

tension is all about ✨description✨ how the characters are breathing, what they feel, how everything feels, the small touches, the whispers, the words etc.

you want the characters to have some sort of relationship, that's why hook-up smuts don't work very well in my opinion.

for example lets make them Ex-lovers, what feelings are there? the characters will remember the softness of each others skin, the way they breathe at certain parts. they remember each others eyes, laugh, moans, touches, feelings etc.

--------

explore things

everyone likes different things, so explore that. explore positions, kinks and that stuff.

-------

know your characters.

i would say this is obvious but know what your characters are like, would they be more spontaneous? would they be more dominant? would they be more submissive. know what your characters want.

-------

dont be blocky

by blocky i mean..

'he did this, and then she did that. and it goes on and on and on.'

add some life into your writing. make it descriptive, make it emotion driven, DESCRIBE EVERYTHINGGGG

---------

have knowledge.

just know the basics of stuff, know how things work and how things don't. because you could be writing about something and someone who's done it is like.. "that's not how it works its actually really painful" that would just be embarrassing 🥲

Physics - probably the nicest just on the grounds of how fast that's gonna be. Like if you're a goner before any of the other sciences can get to you, you probably don't even have time to feel anything.

Biology - the most standard default way of dying. Most of the time it sucks but not badly enough to warrant you its own wikipedia page.

Geology - one of the oldest OG classics. Rock hits Og. Og is gone.

Psychology - slow tigers are chasing you.

Zoology - fast tigers are chasing you.

Sociology - idk me and the rest of the angry mob agree that you had it coming.

Chemistry - this is a hard one to place because there's a lot of variation. But anyhow you're getting undone on a cellular level.

Mathematics - how the fuck did you even do that.

Cosmology - why the fuck did you even do that?
