TAKARA NO VIDRO (2024, JAPAN)

Episode 5

Ever observant on all things Takara, (IWASE YOJI) Taishin (KONISHI EITO) notices a sadness in his gorgeous senpai and inquires.

Tight lipped Takara acknowledges his new friend with a simple head pat, but no answers before a less observant friend invites Takara to lunch.

Hi All,

I am so sorry to keep doing this, but I just have a few things to get off my chest and to say.

I've been moving a little slower lately, and I'm trying to be okay with that. But, I think it's fair to let the folks who have been so supportive during Papyton week and of my writing know what's up. I have a small bump on my left wrist that's making it a little bit difficult to type. As someone who's a long time writer and artist, I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's painful as shit when it knocks against my keyboard.

My anxiety and paranoia about it are getting worse. So, I'm getting it looked at. As far as I know, it's benign, and I can wait until the couple of theater projects I'm working on are done to have any kind of treatment done for it. It's triggering a lot of my mental health issues as well which have been, for lacking a better term, bad.

I'm doing about as well as I can given the circumstances. I'm surviving. I'm safe. Family is good. The squish is the highlight of my life. Having a routine with them keeps my feet on the ground. Firmly planted.

I'm a little sad. Sometimes I drift a little "up" (I've been doing a ridiculous amount of cooking and baking, and I may or may not have bought more Capri Sun than is *strictly* necessary to function.) However, my partner is great and has been helping to remind me to rest my body when I can, to shower, to take care of myself, and all that good stuff. He's also great about helping me with the spending and potential over-doing it in other areas. So, again, I'm well cared for (and well medicated, praise the Lord.)

Capri Suns are about the worst thing I'm gonna do - scout's honor. ;)

That said, the cyst makes me type slower. And, the anxiety triggered pendulum of emotions has kind of been preoccupying. If y'all ever wondered why I write Mettaton's mood swings and his mental states so accurately, it's because I live it.

I'm not planning to put things on hiatus (or at least not a long one). It just might take me longer to finish things because my typing speed and thinking speed are a little slower than I'd like them to be.

If things end up in a worst case and I do end up being sicker than I think, I'll post another update with hiatus info at that time. But, I appreciate you all, and any love, well wishes, and good vibes you have to send my way. (I need them.)

我爹生前最喜愛的一種蘭花，且庭院裡總是有著她的身影。

My father had one favorite orchid before he died, and he always planted 'She' in the garden. Now finally I can understand why he's such loving "Her"- orchid (Paphiopedilum) 拖鞋蘭 (學名：Paphiopedilum)／俗稱兜蘭、拖鞋蘭、仙履蘭、芭菲爾鞋蘭。 屬名Paphiopedilum來自希臘文Paphia及pedilon（拖鞋）組合而成。paphia是希臘神話中的愛神 - 阿芙蘿黛蒂的一個別名，源自阿芙蘿黛蒂誕生後在愛琴海賽普勒斯（Cyprus）島上的登陸地點帕福斯（Paphos）而來。全屬約有128個物種（含31個天然雜交種），分布於中國大陸南方、印度、東南亞及大洋洲諸島。and Paphiopedilum, often called the Venus slipper, is a genus of the lady slipper orchid subfamily Cypripedioideae of the flowering plant family Orchidaceae.

"愛也許是／Perhaps Love" by JOHN DENVER & PLACIDO DOMINGO 作詞/作曲：John Denver Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Oh, love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Or thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you

Jack Daniels x f!reader

A sweet, indulgent Sunday morning with Jack, full of touching and teasing and sweetness.

Warnings: Skin time. 

Word count: 1k

You woke slowly, warm and comfortable. For a moment, you wondered why you'd even woken - you were still basically ready to go right back to sleep. And then you felt it again, fingertips trailing slowly up your spine. The touch was gentle, casual, his skin warm against yours. 

"Mornin', beautiful," Jack murmured, the words low and sleep-rough. 

You grumbled something untranslatable and nestled in closer. You were sprawled half across his chest, skin to skin. 

"I need to get up, darlin'."

You whined at those words, curling up tighter against him, as if you could keep him there through sheer stubbornness. "It's Sunday," you croaked. "You don't have anywhere to be."
