#sleep training

I'm not good at making words, but the point is, the whole fic (including the other part) is part of my soul now. So much heartwarming and angst, I'm so well fed. Their imperfect relationship is perfect.

Allow me to use your design. I hope I described it well and hope you like it!

BEHOLD!! My pillow is finished, it's funny looking and I love it.

Monkeys don’t sleep alone. Monks definitely sleep alone. And Wukong is a monk, now.

or:

A story of evil bug demons, emotional load-bearing pillows, and Sun Wukong's repressed monkey instincts catching up to him at the worst possible time.

If you like found family, action, and angsty platonic pining, you might enjoy this one!

her writing is so smooth please go read it if u haven’t already

It was gonna be the whole scene but I am exhausted Lol

Am watching jttw 2010 and in this episode (50) bajie is cuddling wukong and it's an instant throwback to the fanfic " the found family instruction manual "

I’m going with never. I’m never expecting them to sleep through the night. That way when they do it’s a surprise.

Beerus is actually training in his sleep. 😴💤

This theory goes off the idea that when Beerus is sleeping, it is similar to how characters like Goku, Gohan, Krillin, & Piccolo do image training. Or like how Freeza did image training the entire time while in Hell (the second time) and his body by proxy got stronger.

But, Beerus is basically mental training the entire time he sleeps.

"Sleep training" if you will. 😅

We know this as REM sleep because the dream we may have is so vivid that you physically act out the dream. Or, for Beerus, it could be a mix of REM sleep & sleepwalking since he is in such a deep sleep. So deep into his mental training that he sometimes "sleep attacks" as a result.

It would take the scene from OG Dragon Ball of Yamcha using an idiom to express how much he was training, BUT make it actually possible that Beerus is capable of training in his sleep.

If Toei, Toriyama, or Toyotaro wanted to be "clever" then this could be a way to explain how Beerus grew stronger in power when he sleeps most of the time. This would be my excuse.

Who says its impossible to image train while sleeping?

I’m still over here, friends! Eating good food, getting a big ol’ chop to my hair, and enjoying Valentine’s Day with my boys.

First things first: I chopped a TON of length off my hair and I love it so freaking much. I’m losing a lot less hair in the shower, all the color I put in my hair ages ago is finally gone, and pep doesn’t rip my hair out anymore! Plus, way easier maintenance-wise. I didn’t realize how dead and style-less it was before, until I chopped it. Sometimes a fresh cut is so rejuvenating.

Second: since last weekend when I had an awful night with pep, when we were up all night together, we’ve started sleep training, and it’s been so much less emotionally taxing than I expected. He’s a little champ. Instead of rocking him fully to sleep like we’ve been, one of us will now sit quietly with him for 10-15 minutes max in the rocking chair before bed/naps, whisper to him, sing a song, play with a stuffed animal, whatever, and then put him down awake in his crib. He whines and sometimes cries right away, but as soon as we leave the room, he settles and puts himself to sleep. It’s gotta be related to this that he also really hasn’t woken up at all crying for us overnight. He woke up once crying over the past week, and it was because his nose was super stuffy. We helped him with that and he went right back to bed. I can’t overstate how AMAZING and transformative this has been for me. I had tied so much more stress and anxiety to his sleep troubles than I had realized. I started to anticipate him waking or having trouble going down, and I would be filled with such dread, anticipating the exhaustion to come. Fingers crossed - those days seem like they’re in the rear view.

Valentine’s Day here was simple and lovely. I took some cute lipstick-on-the-cheek photos with pep, though he totally did NOT love the process. 😅 B and pep went out to the supermarket and got some steaks for dinner, plus picked me up some flowers and stopped at my favorite bakery for cherry cheesecake and my favorite cookies. So cute, simple, and thoughtful. Steaks cooked in cast iron with baked potatoes and a salad was a delicious dinner, and a much needed departure to have an adult meal together, at a table. (Have you guys done baked potatoes in the instant pot?? If not: try it. It’s so easy, it’s incredible. Baked potatoes in 20 minutes. Yes.)

Today I’m going for a quick ultrasound to finish up the anatomy scan — hopefully this little nugget cooperates. Tomorrow I’m headed into the city to work in the office for the first time this year. Strangely enough, I’m kinda excited to get out of the house, get dressed, and see other adult humans?
