❛  it's okay, suma-chan!  ❜ it really was a good thing she decided to get extra ingredients. mitsuri didn't expect her food to go so quickly, but she didn't mind it in the slightest. it actually brought a smile to her face that there's another person that enjoyed food as much as she does!

A SOFTER WORLD. / ❛  this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.  ❜ //from kotoha c': / @hashiraloved

and  there  was  laughter,  from  dōma  ——  gentle,  summery,  like  the  sun  itself.  it  was  funny,  how  different  things  had  become  around  the  temple  since  she  had  arrived  ——  it  seemed  lighter,  nicer,  but  at  the  same  time,  the  demon  acted  peculiarly.  

he  knew  of  her  past,  he  could  still  remember  how  damaged  she  was  when  she’d  originally  turned  up  at  his  temple’s  steps.  the  upper  moon  couldn’t  help  the  way  he  scouted  the  outside  of  his  gardens,  ensuring  no  one  stepped  in,  ensuring  no  one  would  get  to  her.

he  couldn’t  help  it.  perhaps  the  damaged  part  of  his  own  abused  heart  cried  out  for  her  to  be  comforted;  to  be  warm,  and  safe.

    ❛  & maybe that was happening, but decided to give up after i had inosuke.  ❜ it's almost impossible for her to be angry or sad or hold onto any anger or sadness. one look or sound from her little inosuke is more than enough to bring herself back to center & shift her thinking that not even god, himself, had an effect on her any longer.

    ❛  inosuke is the nicest thing that i've ever been blessed with. his existence alone is much more than what i deserve, but being here just feels like a tease almost..  ❜

My part of the US is going to be below freezing all next week. This is normal for some. Not so normal for others.

If your area is likely to be impacted by the storm, please prepare now. The most important thing is staying warm and staying inside until things warm up outside. Specific tips I can offer, as somebody who regularly deals with cold winters are:

Put blankets over windows and doors. This will help your house retain heat.

Stay well-fed. Buy food now. You will get hungry faster because your body will burn calories to stay warm.

Stay hydrated. If your lips are chapped you’re probably dehydrated.

Stay dry. Remove wet clothing as soon as possible. It is better to be naked than wet when it is cold.

If it is going to get below freezing for more than an hour or two, run your water at a trickle or drip to prevent your pipes from bursting. The colder it gets the faster your pipes will freeze.

Here’s the weather forecast for this storm:
