Introduction
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It is commonly used during pregnancy to manage diabetes, particularly pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes. Pregnant women generally need diabetes treatment. Insulin can be administered through an insulin pen or syringe. Insulin is considered safe and effective during pregnancy. It can manage the blood sugar levels caused by pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes.
Insulin
Insulin plays an important role in the regulation of blood glucose levels. The pancreas releases the insulin hormone into the bloodstream when blood sugar levels rise after a meal. People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes require insulin to control their blood sugar levels. Insulin formulation is available in short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting, and rapid-acting forms, to fulfil the specific requirement of diabetics. Although insulin is available in oral or inhaled form, it is not frequently used.
Insulin during pregnancy
Blood glucose levels go from high to low when pregnant women take insulin. Research demonstrates that the intake of insulin may increase the size of the placenta more than normal and be heavier during pregnancy. It is essential to control the blood glucose level for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Insulin is generally safe and effective, but there are some side effects and considerations:

1. Weight gain: During pregnancy, some women may experience weight due to the amount of insulin taken. Insulin enhances the glucose storage and other nutrients that lead to the fat deposition.
2. Reaction on injection site: At the injection site, sometimes insulin injections may cause redness, pain, or swelling. Changing the injection site and appropriate injection technique can minimise these reactions.
3. Allergic Reaction: Some women may experience an allergic reaction due to insulin such as breathing problems, rashes, or itching. It is important to take medical help if any signs of allergic reactions occur.
4. Hypoglycemia (Lower blood pressure): If the insulin dose is too high or missed meals, it can lower the blood glucose level leading to hypoglycemia. The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia include confusion, sweating, dizziness, and shakiness.
5. Hypolakemia: Insulin intake can decrease the potassium level leading to symptoms such as irregular heart rhythm, weakness, or fatigue.

During pregnancy, insulin requirements may change due to hormonal fluctuations, increased insulin resistance, and changes in diet plan. Pregnant women with diabetes need to go for regular checkups to reduce the risk of complications for themselves and their babies.
Treatment

1. During pregnancy, insulin is not the only single accepted treatment for diabetes. Exercise and diet are important treatments for anyone who deals with diabetes. Pregnant women with gestational diabetes require this treatment to control blood glucose levels.
2. Pregnant women should develop healthy food choices including fruits, vegetables, proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
3. Daily exercise also helps to manage the blood glucose level by using extra blood sugar for energy.

Conclusion
During pregnancy, insulin is essential to treat diabetes type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes and outweighs the risk associated with side effects. Pregnant women need to work closely with healthcare professionals to manage their conditions effectively and ensure the best outcome for them and their babies.

I dont even know what im doing here I know no one would read this but I just am looking for the closest bridge I can walk to so I can jump off of it I mean that's not really anything I know people feel like this all the time people are going through it every day but I like screaming out into the void it helps like someone in someway is listening my dad was pretty sexist he didn't let us go to school he believed women should be house wives run the house and all that well he ended up dieing I loved that man but he did take everything away from his kids and left them with nothing but a house in the middle of nowhere my mom was devastated she was devoted to that man she was okay for awhile though then my sisters got horrible boyfriends who would want to take over the house that made my mom crazy my sister told her she should date and she did men started using her taking her money and she believed so much insanity she believed she was married to Jesus and also God and before that I was her care taker even before I got paid I took care of my mom I loved her very much and would sleep with her always be with her taking care of her she eventually started saying that I was poisoning her I tried to call doctors I fought with my sister so meany times trying to get help but she just wanted to do things her way my mom eventually called the cops on me and siad I was poisoning her and her food she wouldn't eat the food i made her for a very long time we had all decided thet it was enough she needed help but then over night my sister whent behind my back and talked to my mom told her our plan they had decided that everything would go back to normal and she would start taking her medicine again and it was my job to do it but I had been so upset that I got in a fight with my sister I siad that I can't give medicine to someone who is accusing me of poisoning them I siad that if I can't take care of her can't feed her or give her medicine then I don't deserve this job ill still take care of my mom clean after her try my best to give her what I can and I whent to my room her boyfriend came running to the basement to my room whare my family shunned me to and he banged on my door and I opened it he started yelling saying that he doesn't deserve to be woken up by his girlfriend crying when he has to go to work she was waking him up with breakfast so I really didn't understand I siad I dont care and I closed the door and he hit it so hard pushing me and putting the doorknob in the drywall I was scared the door hit my arm and he was coming in pushing me back I started yelling screaming get out leave this is the only place I have go away he kept pushing and at the time I didn't even have a bra he just kept pushing my chest back I was pushing back too trying to make him leave my sister finally ran downstairs and made him leave she kept saying how sorry she was and she didn't mean for that to happen I was so scared I just backed up and siad quietly please go she wouldn't so I screamed im scared and she finally left I just couldn't deal with the take over I couldn't stand my life thare anymore I had thought about walking out that back basement door with my Razor finding myself a nice spot in my dead fathers woods but I had decided that I wouldn't let my biggest fear of my family hating me win id leave with my boyfriend and try to start a life but he has a best friend like a brother he's always hanging out with us he says horrible things about women and excludes me and says things like no offense I just don't like women or even say such descust like because 30% of women kill or abuse thare baby's that those kids where better off in concentration camps I hate this world and the people who sweep all of this insanity under the rug like it's normal to act this way like its okay to be this way because the world is this way but I always wonder if I have all these problems with the people in my life then maybe it's me but all I can be is quite neutral and I guess we didn't just write this because I wanted you to talk to or someone to hear my story but I guess I wanted the ones who were so evil to feel some of this pain too I want them to be the monsters too it's not fair that I was the only thrown away

To expand on the title, I (19M) purposely seek out competitive things (video games, chess etc.) because it’s where I get my self-worth from. To me, if i’m good at something and better than someone else my life isn’t for nothing. It started when I played basketball from when I was 12 to 16, and towards the last two years I would trash talk the opposing team if we were losing and I’d never keep a level head during games, many tech fouls were given to me. I’m not proud of this, but it really only got worse.
I’ve played a game called Overwatch from 2016 to present, it’s where i get most of my self-worth from, however if i don’t do well at this game which i’ve spend 8 years on I genuinely feel worthless and my mind goes to a really dark place. I project these frustrations onto the enemy team if we’re losing, i’ll tell them to off themselves and many other hurtful things which my brain is telling me to do to myself because i’m not performing as I should. Chess is the same, anything that involves someone else having a chance at being better than me I cannot handle. I would love to quit overwatch forever and ditch competitive games in general, but it’s the only area of my life where I feel validated but i get zero joy from them.
I’ve tried so many hobbies like skating, basketball, chess, drawing and all of them end in me quitting like a sore loser because someone is better. I have such a fixed mindset of needing to be the best, and I wish I could pick up a non-competitive hobby but to my brain that’s a waste of time. I have hurt and said so many damaging things to people because of my own internal frustration, when these people are just trying to indulge in a hobby they enjoy.
Before you guys say “go see a therapist you’re sick in the head” or “just get better at what you’re doing” please know that i’m seeing a therapist currently and plan to go more into this side of myself, but I’m just looking for some advice or words from people who feel the same, please be nice because i’m genuinely trying to change for the better, and I am painfully aware that my actions are wrong.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), often known as ME/CFS, has a broad spectrum of symptoms that persist a long period. It is determined by basic signs and criteria. Post-exertional malaise (PEM), substantial impairment in capacity to accomplish tasks that were typical before the illness, and sleep issues are some of the key symptoms of Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) .
Orthostatic intolerance (difficulty sitting and standing) and cognitive issues. Long-lasting discomfort and a broad spectrum of body systems are also frequent symptoms.
The reason is unknown, however it might be due to metabolic, genetic, viral, or physical or psychological stress. For lack of a universal diagnostic test, the diagnosis is figured by symptoms.
A person with CFS becomes weary from working hard, and it doesn't get better when they rest. Many conditions cause fatigue, but none cause the amount of tiredness and functioning issues found in CFS.
Many individuals with CFS may improve with time, but many will remain unwell and incapacitated for a long period. No authorised therapies or medications for the underlying cause. Instead, treatment aims to alleviate distressing symptoms.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends pacing (personal activity management) to prevent symptoms from worsening. Some patients may benefit with Rinatolimod (a medication intended for treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome ), psychotherapy, and tailored activity management, however research is limited.
It affects 1% of persons who see their doctor regularly, although the figure fluctuates since epidemiological studies define the disorder differently. According to official estimates, CFS affects 836,000-2.5 million Americans and 250,000-1,250,000 Britons.
Women have CFS at a rate of 1-2% higher than males. Most individuals acquire it between 40 and 60. Even youngsters may be affected. The prevalence of CFS in children is unknown, however it is thought to be about 0.5 percent. One of the most prevalent reasons students miss class is chronic fatigue syndrome.
CFS affects one's health, happiness, and productivity, as well as loneliness and alienation. However, several aspects of the illness remain unclear. Disability is diagnosed and treated by doctors, researchers, and others. The evidence for the causes and therapies isn't always consistent.

Common Symptoms

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) proposes the following diagnostic criteria for unwell people:

• Ability to perform things before the sickness. Weariness follows a decline in activity. It must last six months.
• Symptoms worsen if you do anything little before the condition. Exercise may make you sick, and the symptoms generally appear 12 to 48 hours later. Some term it a "crash," although it might last a long time. Also known as Post-exercise malaise (PEM).
• Sleep problems make it difficult to remain awake, fall asleep, or stay asleep.
• Memory and reasoning are poor (cognitive dysfunction, sometimes described as "brain fog")
• Standing or sitting upright may cause dizziness, weakness, fainting, or visual issues (orthostatic intolerance)

While other common symptoms may occur that not all ME/CFS people report
People who have a cold or the flu can have pain in their muscles, joints, and neck or armpits.
People who have a sore throat, irritable bowel syndrome, a cold, or night sweats, as well as people who have allergies and sensitivities to food and other things, can have a hard time breathing.

Functional Capacity of a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Diagnosed Patient

People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can accomplish many things. Many individuals with CFS live regular lives, while others are bedridden and unable of self-care. Most CFS patients must miss job, school, and family time for a lengthy period.
Men and women have the same symptoms and limitations, and many suffer from severe chronic pain. Inactivity is blamed for this. The complexity of things has also changed.
AIDS causes as much agony and anguish as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, COPD, and end-stage renal failure. Even while major conditions like multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, or type 2 diabetes exist, CFS has a greater effect on a person's capacity to function and well-being.
Symptoms go in and out of remission, making treatment difficult. People who feel better may overexert themselves, causing worsening symptoms and relapse of their disease. A percent of persons with CFS are permanently housebound or bedridden for years. An illness that prevents around 75% of them from working.
More over half of them were on disability or sick leave, and just a fifth worked full-time. Children with CFS are the major cause for absenteeism.
The quality-of-life questionnaire found that patients with CFS had reduced "vitality," "physical functioning," "general health," "physical role," and "social functioning." However, CFS patients' "role emotional" and "mental health" subscales were identical to or slightly lower than healthy people's. Every year, the US spends a lot of money on healthcare.

Cognitive Dysfunction of a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Diagnosed Patient

Cognitive Dysfunction is one of the most devastating aspects of CFS, affecting people's ability to work and interact. It's estimated that 50-80% of CFS sufferers experience cognitive issues. Problems with attention, memory, and reaction time are typical cognitive symptoms.
Measured cognitive abilities are lacking, which may impair everyday living. For example, they make more errors, forget things, and have problems responding when spoken to.
In addition, activities requiring long-term working memory are slower. These defects generally support up the patient's views. As far as I can see, your ability to move swiftly, think clearly, and talk clearly hasn't altered.
People with poor health were more likely to report cognitive issues. People with CFS who could accomplish more physically had less visual perception and language processing issues.
Several reasons may be at play when it comes to disparities between what individuals claim they are and what they really are. It's difficult to compare participants' cognitive capacities before and after illness since there aren't any measures that accurately evaluate CFS's distinctive cognitive impairments.
CFS patients have higher neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms than non-CFS patients. The cause is unclear. Many theories exist to explain why cognitive symptoms and illness coexist.
Some experts believe psychological factors contribute to or cause the disease. Others believe the sickness generates physiological and social changes that manifest as symptoms.

Therapies Known to Have Worked with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The CDC says talking to a therapist may help patients cope with their conditions. Counseling and behavioural treatments may benefit some patients, but they may not enhance their quality of life, according to a 2015 NIH analysis.
This means that these treatments should not be utilised alone, but rather as part of a larger strategy. The same article claims that therapy may help with weariness, function, and overall improvement. However, these methods have been understudied in several CFS patient subgroups. Those who had psychotherapy or behavioral treatment reported few unpleasant side effects.
IOM 2015 study indicates it's unclear whether Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assists persons with cognitive disorders. It's unclear why CBT is used to help patients feel better about their illness. A 2014 research found little indication that CBT participants were more active.
The authors claim that those who received CBT were adjusting to the condition rather than improving.
Patient organisations have long opposed CBT as a CFS treatment. Also questioned is the model's explanation The MEA studied 493 CBT patients in the UK in 2012.
Due to the findings of this research, the MEA concluded in 2015 that CBT should not be the principal therapy for CFS. There's a "false model of causality," says Dr. Charles Shepherd, a MEA medical adviser. This paradigm ignores the wide range of clinical manifestations and illness processes that fall within the ME/CFS umbrella.
A 2019 research of ME/CFS patients in the UK revealed that CBT didn't help for over half of them, and that Graded Exercise Therapy made most individuals worse.

So, I have a friend I walk home with everyday. Only known them for 2 1/2 months. We usually wait for each other and walk and talk. Don't really argue or fight. And honestly they laugh at everything I say and seem to pay attention to what happens to me in class. But, they sometimes do weird things where they kinda pull away. When I was walking out of class to walk with them they started walking really fast like they were trying to lose me lol. Legit seemed like they didnt want me to catch up. So, Then I pulled out my phone to look up some directions to a shop I wanted to go to while lagging behind them. They were eye glancing back at me to see if I was still following and I had my phone out checking directions. Legit didn't wanna slow down. So at this point I was just like "OK, ur being weird today" and I thought maybe they don't wanna walk home with me today? So I just stopped following and turned around and talked to some classmates while we played with this cat lol.
Like 5 minutes later I get a text from the friend asking "Where did u go, I turned around and you were gone?"
and I was like "I thought u didn't wanna walk with me lolololo, u were speeding up" What do you guys make of this? It kinda hurt my feelings ngl but I just recognized it as some attachment issue. Did I do the right thing or should I give them space? Or is it good now lol?

My friend takes her faith seriously, it is one of the things that keeps her going. In Islam, mothers are sacred and she does not want to go against her faith by going NC or LC, but her family is pretty toxic, and I have been trying to show her she is the Scapegoat child. That's really opened her eyes as to why she gets blamed for things when she's the only one who actually helps the family, and she is learning a lot.
But so many of the resources I'm sending to her are very based in a secular Western mode. And I'm trying to find articles or videos from therapists who understand why a Muslim girl does not want to even consider walking away from her mother, however painful the relationship is.
I don't think her mother is a true Narc; just a very traumatised woman who didn't get the help she needed. She was a war refugee and her life has been hellish. I just want to help my young friend prevent that trauma from becoming intergenerational and inherited, but I'm not having much luck finding resources that speak from a knowledge of Islamic ideals as well as refugee trauma and how that can create so much toxicity in a family.
I found one Christian guy, who at least had a faith-based approach to teaching things like Grey Rock technique (not specifically Christian ideas, more just that he respected his audience's spiritual beliefs were a priority for them) but I'd love to find someone like that who is Muslim. My friend's family are just like: "be a good Muslim girl and respect your mother however she treats you" but some of the things the mother does have really endangered my friend's mental health; she is already dealing with an eating disorder (due, I'm sure, to her role as family scapegoat.)
I'd be very grateful for any pointers as to where to look. She lives in the UK if that's relevant and has just finished uni, but it's online resources I'm mostly seeking.
Thanks everyone.

Prefacing this to say that I love Karlach to bits (in my "good Tav" run, her speech after we killed Gortash reduced me to tears) but I want to experience other story paths. I don't like playing full-on evil characters (the game doesn't exactly reward such behaviour either), but otoh a fully resisting durge is quite bland tbh, at least in Act 1, so roleplaying a rather conflicted but ultimately resisting durge feels like a good compromise.
My plan is as follows:
* After giving in to his first instincts in the nautiloid and on the beach, start resisting the urge as he realises he needs allies/minions who will trust him
* Stay neutral towards the tieflings bc Zevlor was respectful towards him despite being half-drow
* Turn against the druids bc a) the ones at the grove entrance don't like drow, b) Nettie tried to poison him, and c) Kagha triggered him by threatening Arabella's life
* Feel really guilty after the incident with Alfira and decide to avoid the Grove for a while - hey, Wyll's quest takes him well away from here, let's do that instead!
* Kill Karlach (from a safe distance, bc she looks dangerous) - and then be angry with Wyll for (as he sees it) duping him into killing another tiefling
So far, so good chaotic neutral. But I'm not sure what to do about Wyll - I don't really want him in my party long-term after what happened, but I'm not sure that the usual answers e.g. sacrificing him to BOOOAL, are in character either. Is there any other way to drive him off, short of siding with the goblins (which I don't intend to do - durge has sworn vengeance on whoever did this to him, and that includes anyone connected to the tadpoles, at least at this stage when he doesn't know who's behind his memory loss). I guess he might get killed in combat - warlocks are quite squishy, and those so-called paladins of Tyr are pretty lethal after all - and then I could refuse to resurrect him?

She’s wonderful, kind, understanding, loving, funny, warm, intelligent, and I was so lucky to be with her. We’re a perfect match except we live on different sides of an ocean and we can’t get married because I’m not of her faith. We’re not even supposed to be dating. We met anonymously just to chat and pass time but we slowly learned more and more about one another and fell in love and we had an amazing one and a half years together. Today it really hit her how she hid me from her family because of those faith reasons and said it wasn’t fair to me and she couldn’t keep doing it. It was rough, she was broken up but I was really wailing. We just hung up after deciding to go on maybe one or two more hang out dates and finish some anime we wanted to watch but it’s just hard to come to terms with. This is someone I’d spend hours with just to hear her voice, someone who I could easily see a future with if it weren’t for the boundaries of her faith, someone who reminded me I could be loved and that maybe it’s a good thing my previous attempts failed if it meant living long enough to meet her.
I honestly don’t know how I’m going to keep it together. She’s my rock, my best friend, my soulmate. We knew it would eventually end one day but the pain won’t stop. I’m sobbing right now but my tears won’t flow anymore I’ve cried so much. I know what everyone would say but I don’t think anyone will ever match her. How we just made sense together. How little we fought and how quickly we could make up and get right back to being all loving together. How I would look forward to her texts and calls. How her voice would make me feel. It seems so surreal knowing it’ll all be over soon.
We agreed we could be just friends one day but we need space to move on first. I don’t know if I can, if I want to, if I’ll be able to live again. Even if it was just long distance, she always felt right there for me. I know it’s going to hit me really hard soon and I just hope it doesn’t tear into her the same way it’s eating me alive. I’m a little scared I’ll revert to my old self and fall into bad habits I had before and my self loathing will come back, but I guess only time will tell. It terrifying knowing when I stumble she won’t be there anymore to help me stand up. I just want her to be happy. I hope she will be soon

Welcome to another great video we have for you. Please thank you for tuning in. Tonight's guess will be Captain Pete Wilson and his wingman, Captain Cloud, two pilots from the RED DOG. They will take us through their heroic dogfight encounter with the Zeadrux fighters. So please join us.
On August 24th, 2520, the pilots often tested each other's response time while border tagging or crossing into each other's sectors. While flying over an asteroid field in the Neutral Zone near the ZEADRUX border and planet, Captain Pete Wilson and his wingman, Captain Cloud, were just crossing the Neutral Zone when they found themselves trying to avoid being detected and taken out by two ZEADRUX fighters. This was a cat-and-mouse game for the humans as they crossed into the ZEADRUX sector.
So, Captain Wilson and Captain Cloud, thank you for joining us. Please introduce yourselves.
I'm Captain Wilson from the Red Dog. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you.
Captain Cloud, Red Dog. Thank you.
So please tell us about this encounter with the Zeadrux.
Well, "We came to find out these two pilots were the best of the best ZEADRUX Pilots in the area, and we had to be on our best game to beat them.
So you had incoming ZEADRUX fighters are just seconds away from blowing Wilson out of the sky.
The ZEADRUX fighter's radar could see me, so I go strictly into defensive mode.
so Wilson you banks left and dived down fast. If he can confuse the ZEADRUX fighter's radar with the mountain trees and river, your fighter had a better chance.
yes their low-altitude radar is designed to detect targets in a clear sky or space with little terrain. To counter this, I aims to force the ZEADRUX fighters radar to look down into an area with environmental cover. This forces the radar to recalculate and adjust its settings to deliver a weapon effectively.
So Captain Wilson escape the ZEADRUX Fights deadly grasp or risk it all
Yes, I am in survival mode because the enemy is locked onto my airplane. That's as vulnerable as you get in the end air-to-air dogfight.
So Unless Captain Cloud acts quickly, you doesn't have a chance.
Yes that's the point I am in pure defensive mode, and now I turn it over to my wingman Captain Paul Cloud, who is about five miles behind me and closing in fast. He sees the same thing that I see. He locks the lead ZEADRUX fighter and then takes up a shot with his missiles. Seconds later, Captain Cloud my wingman's heat-seeking warhead missile reaches the ZEADRUX fighter, man! great fire works. [EXPLOSION]
So you had more trouble coming? Yes my Fighter radar Just picked up four more Alien bogey's. This time, it was a 5 to 2, Wilson and his wingman. you two had to fight for their lives.
"We had no choice. We had to confront the enemies quickly because more enemy bogey's. were likely on the way. Destroying any human aircraft would be a significant achievement for an alien pilot."
So you, Wilson and Cloud had the advantage of technology on your side. The ZEADRUX fighter engaged in a high-stakes aerial duel, each trying to outmaneuver the human, but with no success. First ZEADRUX fighter insight. Wilson fired, Splash 2.
SPLASH two!
And Suddenly, another ZEADRUX fighter dove toward the deck below, attempting to evade the human fighter, radar. Captain Cloud released his drone fighter and remained with Wilson's wing. Thirty seconds later, "splash 3" was reported.
Yes we got our Splash 3.
So this made it a 4 – 2 match up!
At that point, I suspected that the ZEADRUX fighter knew their chances were getting slimmer. I released my clone drone, fooling their radar into thinking it was a 4-3 matchup.
Great, So Wilson watches the ZEADRUX fighter take a hard turn upward, but it's too late to escape the downward momentum. The Clone Drone gave chase. 55 seconds later SPLASH 4!
Sweet that was our Splash 4! You could see the other three ZEADRUX fighter hitting their after-burners as they start back to their base.
So you two, Captain Wilson and Cloud activating your afterburners as well, you two were head back to the neutral zone and for home. Thinking your day was over, so you two had more guests to arrive.
Heck yeah, So we are heading back to the neutral zone at a very high speed. Our radar showed 6 red dots approaching. 6 bogey's inbound and taking a high-speed chase to stop us before we crossed back to the Neutral zone.
So you two were high-tail out of the ZEADRUX sector, the 6 ZEADRUX cruisers were closing in fast, with their weapons firing. All of a sudden, the 6 cruisers stopped, ceased firing, and powered down their ships? So you two were still burning back to base.
Yeah we were hauling butts!
We all saw the camera View zooms out, we like for all of you to see what happen and why the Zeadrux ended their chase. you understand why the 6 cruisers stop their pursuit. The Human 9th Fleets stood ready at the border for any alien warship to cross into the Human Sector.
In the end those diplomatic conclusion by doing their job.
I think i could here the Zeadrux now
THE DAMN HUMANS!

Hi guys, long time lurker here,
(Excuse the formatting, I've slept for about 3 hours, which is what has prompted me to ask for help from the people who know best.)
A bit about me: I am 5ft2, 150-ish lbs, I have diagnosed EDS which causes a lot of pain and discomfort, major thyroid issues which contribute to overheating, I wake up at the smallest noise/change, and I run way way too hot when sleeping. Other words, I'm a delight in the bedroom hahaha!
I'm currently sleeping on an IKEA VATNESTROM mattress, which I bought for the natural latex and wool materials. I was an idiot and bought it in 'firm' because I was sleeping on a memory foam beforehand which was killing my back, hips, even my ankles, to lay on. So I thought I'd double down and go for as supportive as possible. Looool.
I sleep mostly with cotton or bamboo bedsheets, I believe the cotton is 400 threadcount, they are crisp and cool to touch - so whatever they are. I also sleep with a fan on mostly for sound, sometimes pointed at me sometimes not. I changed my duvet to the GRUSSTARR 2.5 tog from IKEA so it's thinner. However I pointed the fan at myself last night as I woke up boiling hot and I then got far too cold. Can't bloody win.
The main problem is that the mattress is too hard for my shoulder, and after a year of sleeping on this mattress something has to change. The firm has meant that my neck, hips, back, and legs don't hurt anymore, which is AMAZING, but my shoulders are so painful in the middle of the night that I then can't get back to sleep.
I am a lifelong side sleeper. I have tried to change it, but I just can't sleep on my back and when I do I get sleep paralysis, so I'd rather avoid that if possible.
I can't do memory foam as I do not like the sinking feeling, and I need something supportive but soft due to my condition, as well as being super breathable because I turn into lava at night.
I've been looking at:

• Talalay standard double topper - worried re: latex not being soft enough & running warm
• Wool only mattress topper - conscious that it will compress after a year or two so not sustainable
• IKEA TUSTNA mattress topper
• Cotton only topper (?)
• Microcoil topper - for support and breathability but can't find a natural one that's not wool based (compression)
• I saw the IKEA cooling pad and though that could help (??)
• Cotton or merino wool "Mattress Enhancer" and forgoing the topper altogether
• Or just giving up and resigning myself to not sleeping forever

I can't afford a sleep system or a bedjet, and we don't have AC in the UK. I also can't open the windows as I live on a freight train line so it gets really really loud at night. I have to keep my bedroom door closed as I have cats that like to jump on my head when I'm sleeping so I have to keep them out (as much as it breaks my heart).
My boyfriend has to sleep in another room due to my terrible sleep and he has the TUSTNA topper and it has made his sleep much more comfortable from his shitty landlord special mattress, but he did say that it runs quite warm for him, so it might be an absolute disaster for me.
I feel kind of stuck really. I've been looking at this reddit and also researching mattresses on/off for the last few years and I'm at the point of information overload to where I'm just paralysed and not doing enough to fix it. I wake up feeling like I've barely slept even on the nights that I sleep 9 hours, and feel like a little old lady. Whomp whomp.
Hope you're all having a lovely day! <3

To preface one thing - this is in Singapore, I am half singaporean and half thai, I have no close friends or family members around here, but I study here.
So after many years of dating and many quite one sided and manipulative relationships with guys and after 3 months of being single I finally got into relationship with my GF. First time trying lesbian dynamic. I felt it would be very different, she would understand me more and was less demanding of me and of course less physical and simply more harmonious, since, you know it's a fellow woman.
I was also taking it slow and we had like dozen dates before getting entangled officially couple months ago. She is quite lovely and well educated, slightly older than me, somewhat exotic looking around here and it felt we are becming good friends.
When we finally hooked up she had to guide me a lot because it's indeed quite different dynamic than with a guy but that was fine, I guess and she seemed to even enjoyed and would joke about how I was lesbian virgin and she can shape me to be suited for her. Which I thought at the time was cute.
Long story short I recently finally moved in with her and that was a mistake. I've been at her place most of the time we would hang out because my place was really tiny. Right after I moved in I was just in a span of week introduced to basically a laundry list of chores I should do and at the time I thought alright we pull this together right, but we didn't. After next couple weeks I realised (for the first time ever) that I am doing the same chores I would be doing for my former boyfriends and I started to feel, yet again, more as a maid with benefits. This time I had courage to voice that to my GF and she would apologise and be all sweet about how she didn't realise and that would coo me for another week, but no changes would actually happen. Only now I think it's been manipulative.
Since I am a university student and a "gym bunny" I have less free time than one would expect and suddenly it was filled mostly by coming home doing chores before going to gym and then coming from gym and my GF would be still up and then she would be demanding for attention, mostly in bedroom. This is when I've also noticed that while guiding me in bedroom she never seemed eager to pleasure me in return unless I would specifically ask and so for days I tried not to ask and suddenly it was super one sided bedroom stuff and she seemed perfectly fine with that. That stung because it immedaitelly reminded me of my last 3 boyfriends where it was the same.
I held a lot of this in, trying to keep being disciplined and do all she'd like me to do and chores and everything more and better in hopes of her seeing more value in me. But it simply didn't happen, not over course of two plus weeks.
Well this weekend I was using her ipad, where she always logged off out of all social and communication apps when she wasn't using. I always thought it's a like... internet safety thing in case the device gets hacked or something. But this time her whatsapp and wechat was logged in and I simply discovered that while I am at school and she's "working" from home she's hooking up at least once a week with guys. Or at least mostly with guys I wasn't in the mood to read into too much detail, seeing texts of your presumeably loved sending very intimite and heartfelt texts to guys and reacting to their D pics and sending stuff back... I felt betrayed but so far I haven't said anything and the routine contiues to my own detrement.
From doing gymnastics on higher level for 10+ years I'm used to some discipline and manners that would now be probably consider abuse, but what I learnt from that was to be quiet a lot not to cause conflict and please people. Despite my previous relationships with guys being basically abusive it was eventually always them to dump me, I never had the guts to do it yet (not counting middle school lol). This time I recognize the problem and I would like to end things but at the same time I moved too soon (in hindsight) and have nowhere to go at the moment.
And so for weeks I felt like maid and for 4-5 days now I feel more like bang maid who's also stupid and naive and I couldn't contemplate a good .. like escape plan, that's why I am making this post. In the meanwhile I continue the same old routine unable to almost meet my GF's eyes, yet she seem strangely not noticing any change and looking quite happy. On top of that you probably can guess how I feel being at school, knowing there's a decent change she's out hooking up. It just all crushing my selfesteem yet I feel stuck in the routine and my head.
TLDR: GF is cheating, doesn't know I know, because I am scared to confront her since I have nowhere to go if I'd move out.

From the moment I heard her whispered name, a chill settled deep within my bones, a prelude to the terror that would soon consume my very existence. The Lady, they called her, an entity shrouded in tales so dark, they seemed to blot out the light of day whenever spoken. I was a non-believer, a skeptic who laughed in the face of the supernatural. How I wish I could return to that blissful ignorance, but some truths, once revealed, are impossible to unsee.
It began innocently enough, a dare amongst friends on a night fueled by the reckless invincibility of youth. We were gathered around the flickering light of a campfire, the darkness of the woods pressing in on us with an almost palpable intensity. "Invoke The Lady," they said, a challenge thrown down with the gauntlet of peer pressure. "Show us you're not afraid."
Fool that I was, I accepted, mocking the very notion that some spectral woman could instill fear in me. "The Lady, The Lady, The Lady," I called into the night, my voice steady but my heart beginning to betray a flicker of unease.
The words had barely left my lips when the air around us shifted, a coldness seeping into my very marrow. Silence fell, a heavy, oppressive silence that seemed to smother all life in the forest. And then, I saw her.
She emerged from the shadows, a figure so pale she seemed to glow in the moonlight. Her hair, black as the void, flowed around her like a living thing, and her eyes... her eyes were a gray so piercing, so devoid of humanity, that to meet her gaze was to feel your soul being stripped bare.
Panic surged through me, a primal, screaming urge to flee, but I was rooted to the spot, trapped by those merciless eyes. She moved towards me, each step deliberate, relishing the terror that coursed through my veins. I wanted to scream, to beg for mercy, but my voice was a prisoner in my throat, choked off by fear.
When she was but a breath away, she stopped, and the world seemed to hold its breath with her. "You sought me," she whispered, her voice a melody of nightmares, a sound that promised despair and madness. "Now you have found me."
I could do nothing but stare as her hair began to writhe and twist, snakes made of shadow and malice. With a sudden, violent motion, it shot forward, wrapping around me in a cold embrace. I expected pain, expected to be torn asunder, but instead, there was only cold, an abyssal chill that threatened to extinguish the very fire of my soul.
Her face loomed close to mine, close enough that I could see the torment etched into her features, a mirror of the agony she inflicted. "Look upon me," she commanded, and I was powerless to disobey.
What I saw in that moment was not a face, but a void, an absence of all things, a darkness so profound that my mind fractured at its touch. It was the face of oblivion, of all fears made manifest. I felt myself slipping, falling into that endless void, my screams lost in the silence of her embrace.
When I awoke, it was to a world forever changed. The forest was gone, replaced by the sterile white of a hospital room. They told me I was found alone, catatonic, my eyes wide with an unseeing terror. My friends, those who had dared me to call upon The Lady, were nowhere to be found, vanished without a trace.
I alone returned from that night, but what came back was not the same person who had uttered that fateful challenge. I am haunted, forever marked by the touch of The Lady. I see her in my dreams, in the shadows of my room, in every reflective surface, waiting, always waiting.
They say I am mad, but madness is a mercy I have not been granted. For I know the truth, a truth that burns in my mind with the ferocity of a thousand suns. The Lady is real, and she is the embodiment of every fear, every horror, every nightmare that has ever plagued the hearts of humanity.
And she has seen me.

Im not a artist so NTM on me but I hope yall get the idea. Im pink dot
I was taking a late night walk, just enjoying the weather. So this one guy randomly comes up behind me and starts walking really fast with his head down. This was kinda suspicious to me. I slowed down cause I always let men go in front and we were at a crosswalk. As Im crossing the street I notice another man to the right of the intersection walking up but instead of crossing he turns right so now were all walking the same direction. I turn my head to get a view of him but y’all soon as I turned my head I peeped another guy behind me getting closer and closer.
So now its like one man behind me, one in front and one to the right side. So I’m trapped in each direction and wouldn’t be able to run left after I cross the street.
Its like my body processed the information before my mind cause It moved on its own. I had a feeling if I went down that sidewalk something bad would happen. I put myself between two parked cars, and started going through my pockets (tryna intimidate them lol) then stared at the man behind me until he was close enough to me (Which looking back was very dangerous) then immediately turned around and walked the direction I came from. Soon as I did that the guy on the other side crossed the street and made eye contact with the guy that was behind me. The fact that he turned around, and quickly started walking towards me told me everything I needed to know. I was definitely in danger. He was there to catch me if I tried running to the other side.
The light was red so now i’m waiting and watching him walk down this other street. Tell me why he turns his head sees that im crossing to the other side then crosses again so now hes in front of me. Im walking slower and slower while being mindful of anyone behind me. I think he noticed so he stops and sits/stands at these benches so I take the opportunity to walk faster when I noticed there was other people around and got away.
Somehow I got home safe but is this triangle method a common kidnapping technique? I keep thinking about it and like I would of been fucked if I didn’t notice all 3 of them. I got home and was like I almost never saw my bed again. My whole body was shaking .

When I was 4 or 5 , traveling cross country..I saw a beautiful long blonde hair woman in a long sleeved long dress with tiny flowers print standing in the middle of a flat golden plain with the wind blowing her hair and dress and I KNEW she had died by a wildfire soon after. ( I still remember the image and thought later, maybe reincarnation memory). 9 yo..AF Brat we visited Ephesus, Turkey..there was a tunnel leading up to the colosseum grounds from the cages and prison cells below and I saw a woman in traditional biblical garb with a blue shaw over her hair bent over with her hand on the wall for support, blinking up into the bright sunlight ..I had the overwhelming urge to touch the Wall were her hand had been. (Just my imagination?)
Years go by and I am diagnosed with an incurable eye desease ..my sister and I go on a road trip, for historical sites while I still can, and then I KNEW this was a ghost energy. Shiloh National Cemetery Park Walking around I saw a copse of trees with 1 Confederate marker among Union Markers and I wondered how he got there. Suddenly (,in my minds eye?) I SAW a very young slim man with dark hair stumble out of the dense brush and be confronted by the sight of Union men sitting around a fire. (Imagination again?) Later my sister and I were standing at the dedication plaque podium and my sister said how sad this place made her feel ..suddenly I felt a sense of Pride and said How proud that their sacrifice was being honored ..then felt joy and laughed and tried to shoulder bump the Confederate ghost... I KNEW, but could not see, standing beside me. Sight deteriated fast, facial recognition gone. It's a blurry world. Btw I can only type on my phone close to my face. Black screen. White lettering. Allen, Texas standing outside grocery store waiting on my ride, I look up and not 2 feet from me is an older gentleman with full head of grey hair and bushy mustache smiling and staring at me..not saying a word..at the time I didn't wonder HOW I could see him so clearly..minutes go by..silence..I'm wondering if he is just standing there judging me, my attire, etc. I turn my back on him and ignore him. Thought no more about it UNTIL..2 years later living in Mabank, Texas AGAIN outside waiting for my ride..Hes THERE.. 2 feet from me, silent and smiling at me..75 miles distance from Allen..thats when I realize I can SEE him as I did in Allen because I RECOGNIZED him from Allen, remember facial recognition is gone, I can't even see myself in a mirror. That shocked me. I don't know him. I walked away. Now you are going to say I'm crazy or hullicinating ..4 years later I'm living in Kentucky and I visit an Amish Store as I'm waiting in line at cashier I see an Amish couple in traditional garb standing perfectly still staring at me I see her clearly with her bonnet and long dark green dress, slim with hard lines on her face (wrinkles) she barely comes to her husband's shou, I look at him and see his white shirt and red suspenders BUT there is a black blob that covers his face and part of his shoulder..ok I think, blind spot from my eyesight, not wondering why I can SEE her so clearly, turn to look at cashier and I can SEE her plump, blonde middle age with glasses smiling at me and I suddenly think..she is connected to the couple..then Memory lapse..until I found myself with a receipt in hand saying "It will be okay, It will be okay" to a crying cashier who won't look up at me. Last experience was December 5th 2023 Weekend getaway with my sister and her DIL. Nashville, TN, Broadway St. Bar hopping, I had slowed down drinking and had switched to water as we walked into Blake's Place. DIL was very drunk and got nose to nose with bouncer..suddenly I felt such Pride for the bouncer and could see him and DIL clearly.,he stood there stoic and unresponsive to DIL barrage of drunk BS till she gave up and moved on. He had a black stocking cap and heavy coat and gloves on, roundish face but not fat..small nose and thin lips. I went to the back of the dance floor and planted myself there so my sister would know where I was and listenened/enjoyed the band, with my water. To the right of me I saw, as if in a spotlight a tall blonde man, in a Red short sleeve t shirt and huge biceps standing there just staring at me, not drinking or moving to the music as the blurry guys behind him were..song after song, he just stood there watching me.. I felt a little self conscious.. I am now 60 so WTH? Eventually my sister came to tell me it was time to leave to get DIL to hotel. Memory lapse..(not drunk, had been on water)..dont remember anything until we were outside on sidewalk when the bouncer came running out to me and grabbed my arm and with a shocked expression on his face demanded.."What did you just say tome! What did you just say to me!" ...I DONT KNOW! I sheepishly say "Best Band" and he stood back and watched us as we moved on down the road. I beleve Red shirt was a ghost connected to him and said something to him thru me. But unlike Shiloh, but like Amish Store..I don't know what the message was.was. If I hadn't effected these two people the way I had, I would think I had had hulicinations or a very vivid imagination..but seeing the stoic bouncer so shook up..convinced me..and I am trying to find explanation/validation that I am not crazy.

[FADE IN]
INT. SHOPPING MALL - DAY
LAMAR (40s) and TOMMY (30s) stand back-to-back in a deserted food court, using shopping carts as barricades. Huddled behind them are two terrified children, CHLOE (8) and JAKE (10). Groans and moans echo from the dead mall.
TOMMY (frantic) We gotta get out of here, Lamar! There's too many of them!
Lamar reloads a pump shotgun, his face grim.
LAMAR We can't leave these kids.
Lamar gestures to the children whimpering behind them.
TOMMY There's gotta be another way! Remember what I told you? About the failsafe?
Lamar nods, his jaw clenched.
LAMAR Yeah. You said there's a chip in their heads. Makes them attack.
TOMMY Right! But there's a failsafe word. One word that makes them... explode.
Lamar raises an eyebrow.
LAMAR (softly) The N word?
TOMMY Yeah. But I... I can't just say it, Lamar. You know that.
Lamar looks at Tommy with a mix of understanding and frustration.
LAMAR We gotta do what we gotta do, Tommy.
A deafening SHRIEK pierces the air. A ZOMBIE lunges at Lamar from the side. Lamar blasts it away with the shotgun.
TOMMY (grabbing Lamar's arm) Lamar! We're running out of ammo! We're screwed!
Lamar shoves a walkie-talkie into Tommy's hand.
LAMAR We ain't screwed. Take the kids. Find the sporting goods store. There should be more ammo there.
TOMMY What about you?
LAMAR (a wry smile) I got ways of dealing with these things. Just go!
Lamar shoves them towards a back exit.
INT. MALL - CONTINUOUS
Tommy and the children sprint through the deserted corridors, the shuffling of the dead growing louder. Suddenly, a horde of ZOMBIES surges around the corner, cutting them off.
TOMMY (to walkie-talkie) Lamar! We're trapped!
STATIC. Tommy looks around in panic. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
TOMMY (into walkie-talkie) Lamar... I need... the N word pass.
INT. FOOD COURT - CONTINUOUS
Lamar slams his fist on a table.
LAMAR (into walkie-talkie) We don't just hand out the pass! You gotta EARN the pass!
INT. MALL - CONTINUOUS
Tears well up in Tommy's eyes.
TOMMY (voice cracking) I'm trying to save these kids, Lamar! Please!
Lamar hesitates for a beat, then sighs.
LAMAR (into walkie-talkie) Alright, alright. You got it. But you better not mess this up.
INT. MALL - CONTINUOUS
Tommy takes another deep breath.
TOMMY (to himself) I got this.
He raises his voice to address the approaching horde.
TOMMY (yelling) Alright you disgusting, brain-eating...!
He closes his eyes and shouts the word.
INT. FOOD COURT - CONTINUOUS
Lamar winces as the sound explodes through the walkie-talkie.
INT. MALL - CONTINUOUS
A blinding flash engulfs the corridor. There's a deafening roar, then silence. Tommy opens his eyes to see the ZOMBIES, reduced to chunky salsa. Chloe and Jake stare at him, wide-eyed.
TOMMY (weakly) Let's get out of here.
He takes a shaky breath, the weight of what he just did settling in.

I work with the general public and let me tell you some people have absolutely no manners and come off immensely arrogant. I am in a leader position so I tend to be the go to when my crew needs me to deal with difficult situations, usually I’m pretty calm and collected rarely do I allow people to get under my skin, but it does happen and I’m only human, but I have my limits to what I will or will not tolerate.
I was covering for a coworker when a customer came in looking for an order he had placed online. Already from the beginning I can sense from his tone that he had a snobby attitude, not a problem yet maybe he was in a rush I thought. He provides me with the information needed to pick up his order, however I could not locate it, at first I worried that my other coworker neglected the delivery, but I couldn’t find the order at all after searching for it extensively.
The man begins to snidely complain that he has done this plenty of times and insinuates that we didn’t know what we were doing. I began to start feeling offended, but I overlooked his comments and began to explain to him respectfully how the online ordering system worked. He rudely interrupts me and responds with—-I’ll be paraphrasing—-“I know how this all works, I’ve done it plenty of times, if there’s any issues then it’s on your end, maybe your buggy system.” I respond with a stern “Sir, you need to listen, I’m trying to help you so you need to listen.” He rebuttals with, “You need to be careful young man.” He said it in a threatening way. I ask him, “With what? Have I been rude to you?”truthfully, I can’t remember his reply, but the issue was that this man was treating me like a child.
Even then, I STILL tried to remain professional in helping him, I still tried explaining the ordering process and asked him if it was possible that he might have used a different name, (you’d be surprised how many times people will use their spouses account when placing an order and I was deadset on figuring where this mans order could be) I even raised concern that perhaps he sent it to a different location. The man STILL would not even CONSIDER those could be possibilities, he was so adamant about his order being here. Finally, we both see his confirmation email and guess what? It WAS for a different location, he had sent his order to a different place so that explained why I had no record of his order. I told him where his order was at so he could go and pick up. For me, the situation had been resolved, people make mistakes, things happen, not a big deal in my eyes. We are only human and I will never get on someones case for making such a small mistake.
But what happened next really surprised me at the audacity of this man. Instead of admitting his mistake (yes, the system does show you where your order is being sent for client pickup so you ARE aware of where to go before it’s ready, Einstein) he immediately refuses to admit his error and procedes to say the following verbatim in front of other patrons. “You are being recorded. Young man, I recommend you go home, buy a dictionary, look up the word condensing because you are being condescending to your customers!”
Wait…what? Did I miss something here? I was so astonished by this man, but I knew exactly what was going on here. The man probably felt stupid, but he had such an inflated self worth that he refused to acknowledge that he was in the wrong, furthermore, he attempts to insult me by saying that I was dumb enough not to know what condescending meant or that I didn’t own a dictionary and then to try and embarrass me in front of all the other clientele. I was dealing with a straight up narcissist who was projecting his own condescending behavior in order to protect his fragile ego.
I had enough, I yelled “I don’t care! you can record me all you want! you’re arrogant, rude and disrespectful, you’re not a nice person at all!” And I proceeded to kick him out the place.
I know when I’m being insulted you stupid dumb fuck 🖕🏻I could have stooped to your level and really gave you a taste of your own disrespectful medicine. I would have talked to you like no one probably ever has before, idiot. I should have called you out for being so arrogant in your own stupidity.
I don’t care who you are, I treat everyone with a modicum of respect until they lose it. I’ve had my share of instances where I’ve dealt with people like him and they’ve always apologized in the end because they knew they were in the wrong. I expect the same.
So to end my long ass rant, you don't have to be overly nice or even like the people who work behind a counter but you should always be respectful and vice versa. I don’t give a crap, I won’t let people disrespect me. Too many people walking around like their shit don’t stink. The sheer arrogance is mind boggling. Just be a good person.
Tldr: Customer is rude and disrespectful even after making his own mistake, I don’t tolerate it and kick him out for his obnoxious behavior. I’m expecting an apology next time I see him.

CHAPTER 9 – ENTROPY
DATE: MARCH 10th, 7 A.U. (AFTER UNIFICATION) LOCATION: SOL SYSTEM, ABOARD UTRN INDOMITABLE WILL
CAPTAIN HENRY O’TOOLE
"Ah, there you are Commander. Your message said there was something you wanted to talk with me about, right?" Henry asked as his executive officer approached the system map.
“Aye Captain, now's a good a time as any. As you know, the rate of disciplinary incidents has more than tripled in the last two weeks. We've had six fistfights, one near strangling, a few dozen counts of sexual harassment amongst different parties, and a few more incidents of a nature that I would rather not get into for fear of derailing the point of this conversation. I need additional resources to allocate towards ship internal security. With your permission, I'd like to borrow some of our more trusted marines to help the MA's out on their off shifts.” Commander Alvarez asked.
“Yeah, of course, take what you need to nip this in the bud. I can't say I'm entirely surprised; we expected a certain amount of this with the stresses of FTL travel. With everyone cooped up like this, maybe we should brainstorm some new outlets for the crew. Were there any specific incidents I need to get involved with?” Henry replied as he looked up from the list of updates and reports on his own console.
“No, I have it covered. It's just the regs state I need to ask permission to use marines for internal security matters.” The Commander waved it off.
“Excellent, continue to keep me in the loop then. Can I ask you a question?” Henry took the opportunity to ask something that had been bothering him.
“You just did. Hah! Just kidding, put the axe away boy! Now what would you like to know?” He said with a twinkle in his eye.
“I've seen your file, well, the parts that weren’t redacted anyway. If anything, I should be taking your orders! I mean, you're the Space Wolf! Nobody came even close to the number of ships captured or destroyed than you in the early days of the battle for the belt. Why would they want me to be captain when they had someone like you coming along the whole time? Why aren't you a captain anymore? By all right this should be your command, not mine.” Henry asked, after taking one last look around to verify they were still alone around the system map.
Commander Alvarez seemed stunned for a moment before he settled into a more pensive look.
“Listen, son, you're all full of the vigor and high passions of youth. By that I mean you've got a certain fire and aggression in you, yet I've seen you keep it balanced by wit and wisdom. You are a perfect match for the job, even if you could use some more real world experience. With some guidance, you'll do just fine, if you can keep strict standards for yourself and crew and a cool head when things get tough. I... got a lot of damn good men and women killed in an impossible situation when we lost the Michigan-II, and I never truly got over it. No amount of medals, captured enemy ships, or the fact that I've saved many more lives than I lost can make up for that. I finally found peace with that, but that peace required that I relieve myself of any chance of future command. My legacy, for better or worse, is set in stone. Joining this expedition gives me another chance at adjusting the scales without breaking my former vows, even if the only people who will ever know it are here on the voyage with us.”
“So, you claim you have no aims or desires for leadership, but here you are a mere heartbeat away from it.” Henry said, carefully studying his executive officer's every reaction.
“My time for glory is mostly gone, yours is at your feet before you. To the world, I am retired in comfort and isolation. In reality you have me here to help make your will law. You can relax. I already turned down command of this expedition. I was plan A, why do you think they had to scramble to find you? I will take command of this mission only if you are incapable of doing so yourself, Sir. In the meantime, let my experience and whatever wisdom I can offer guide you.”
An emergency alert snapped both of their attention out of their conversation. "There's a fire in one of the officer's cabins?!" Henry’s pulse quickened as he referenced the map to find which one.
“Fuck, it started in Chantal’s room!” Henry said, horrified.
“I've got the CIC under control. Go on and get her, I'll ensure help is on the way!”
“Thank you, Commander.” Henry called back over his shoulder as he rushed for the quick lift.
The officer cabins were the in the very next deck overhead, so he was able to arrive quickly and break into a sprint. The ship shifted as it dodged some antimatter, causing Henry to slip and scramble back to his feet. As he rounded the corner he saw her door was closed and the keypad powered was off. He could hear thumps and muffled screaming from within the room.
"HANG ON CHANTAL, I'M COMING!" Henry shouted in the hope that she could hear him as he pried at the manual override panel.
Two modified Paladin exo-combat armor suits rounded the corner seconds later with a hospitalman trailing behind pushing a medical cart.
"WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE, SIR." A speaker-amplified voice spoke from behind him.
One of the Paladin suits accessed the manual control override and forced the door open enough for the other suit to reach in and pry it the rest of the way open as smoke plumed into the corridor. The second suit charged into the room with its flood lights on as a water cannon mounted on the right wrist sprayed flame retardant from a pack on its back. The first suit abandoned the door control and entered, emerging moments later with Chantal awake and coughing from inside the darkened door frame. She was quickly ushered into cleaner air, set gently down, wrapped in a blanket, and was quickly attended to by a hospitalman who began to check her vitals.
Relief flooded Henry’s mind as his adrenaline surge broke against the wall of worry he had built up during his mad dash from the CIC.
“Baby you came for me! I honestly thought I was going to die for a moment in there." She pulled him into a tight embrace as she wept in cathartic release.
"Of course I did! I couldn't stand to lose you, especially not over something like this. So, what the hell happened in there?"
"Well you know me, I was all burning the midnight oil and then I smelled smoke! Then there were some sparks, the outlet pops then whoosh! My computer station and my desk are all ablaze along with half my notes, then the damned door wouldn't work! I had to drop to the floor under the smoke and pound on the door in hopes that someone would hear me. God, it was horrible... I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life." She replied with a deep shudder.
"You're safe now, it's going to be alright."
"I know, but what about my work?" She replied with a forlorn look back at her smoke damaged room.
"What about your work?"
"As you know, I lost a ton of it just now, but what’s worse is I don't even have the ability to recover them! Remember how I lost my backup drive last week? Like, I know I packed it and it is not here anywhere! It’s like some sick cosmic joke on me or something. Sorry! Gotta keep it positive, girl! I get to rethink my last few weeks’ worth of work from scratch... that was almost positive! I probably have most of this recoverable from email sent box backups. Fuck, what do you do if there's no good silver lining?” Chantal bemoaned.
Henry couldn’t help himself but laugh for a second, while his girlfriend stared at him, waiting for a response.
“I’m sorry, is this funny to you or something?”
“No, no of course not. This might be one of those times where the only silver lining is that you're alive. Plus, if anyone can remember and rebuild their notes, you can." Henry smiled down at her.
“Fine, fine, at least I am alive. I was only breathing smoke for a few seconds after all.” She said, rolling her eyes. “Thank you for rushing down here right away anyway, it means a lot. You're amazing, you know.”
Henry smiled, slightly uncomfortable for a moment, so he changed the subject.
“I do my best... Anyway, it seems like these electrical issues seem to be getting worse instead of better. Whatever patch these clowns have slapped on my ship to get her to pass inspection is clearly coming undone. What do you think is going on here?” Henry asked in mild exasperation.
“Honestly, I can’t tell you without digging into the systems myself, which I would rather avoid. My plate is full enough as it is right now, especially having to reproduce so much of my own work now. This ship has kilometers of power cables running throughout it, after all, and you have an entire loyal, capable team down there in electrical, so it should only be a matter of time before they sort it out for you. Let them do their jobs without harassing them too much, please?”
Henry felt a little irked at her for not giving him credit to know not to go overboard, but he stowed it, seeing as she was right.
“The crew has been under a lot of stress, too, having technical issues with the lights going out, or losing power to workstations. More than a few people have tried to convince me to turn us around and return to S33 for a more in-depth refit and repair cycle before we try the mission again. So far, everyone has accepted the fact that we are not turning back now without much argument, but I fear what may happen if these issues are seen as getting worse. Our orders are clear, though, we must continue the journey.” Henry said, uncomfortable with the implications, even if he didn't dare voice it.
“You should get on the Q-Comm to report the fire to S33. Maybe they will order us back to base after this.” She offered, looking for a solution to an impossible problem.
“Good idea, at least the Q-Comm is still working. It’s incredible to me those particles maintained their entanglement once we passed through the baryonic barrier. That alone has been a huge morale boost, being able to contact home base with no time lag.” Henry replied.
“It’s incredible to you because you only have a basic grasp of the science, hon. But that’s alright, very few people truly understand it. That’s in part what you have me here for anyway. Einstein called the effect spooky action from a distance; I always liked that line.”
Henry ran his fingers through his hair and looked at Chantal, with a shake of his head and a smile.
“Listen, Henry, I just had a crazy stressful experience and I need to unwind. Plus, I haven’t slept in almost a day, so I am bone tired. Let’s go to bed, huh? What do you say doc, am I clear to go?” Chantal asked.
The hospitalman closed her eyes and shook her head before responding. "Yes, you are cleared to rest, only to rest, do you understand me?"
Chantal mouthed a thank you before she took Henry by the hand and led him off to the captain’s quarters. Henry felt no desire to fight it, nor flaw with her reasoning. Sleep sounded good, really good. Plus, he was about an hour from the start of his sleep shift anyway, and Alvarez had the CIC well covered. The lights flickered again, but Henry very purposefully ignored it.
“Hey, since we have a little time and we are both a little wound up, Why don’t we take a shower together real quick?” She said with genuine enthusiasm and a wink.
“Madam, I like the way you think.” The couple raced just a bit faster than regulations would have liked, and arrived at his door in record speed. Inside the room they fell upon each other in great passion and need, stripping each other out of their BDU’s and underclothes. Henry tossed a giggling Chantal onto the bed, kissing her neck and nibbling on her ear causing her to purr in anticipation before he moved down her chest, past her navel, and then eagerly began to move his kisses in between her thighs.
“Hah…. I haven’t showered. Are you sure? Oooookay! I think…. Hah…. Okay.” She said breathlessly as Henry began to work his tongue until she began to shiver and squirm before she cried out and melted in his mouth.
“Enough, please, I can’t take it anymore! Just fuck me already!” Chantal pulled herself together enough to beg for it. Henry stood rigid and ready and set himself to granting her request, first slowly, and with a growing intensity. She once more began to squirm as he paid close attention to her hip’s cues, knowing very well by now what she liked.
As she climaxed again, Henry lifted her from the bed and pushed her up against the wall, and then bent her over his desk for a bit before he could take it no longer and they finished together.
“Holy shit… my legs aren’t gonna work for a bit after that one. Help me up?” Chantal said in between shallow breaths.
“Yes, ma’am. It would be my pleasure.” Henry said as he helped her to her feet and into the shower, staying in longer than was strictly necessary.
Henry left the steam first, once more thankful that his cabin included its own small bathroom, rather than a communal one. Being captain had its perks, after all. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, then handed another to Chantal who gratefully accepted it before it dropped to the ground as she stared straight past him.
“Henry!" She squeaked as she pointed past him.
"What?" Henry asked, confused.
"Henry, someone was in here!”
On their bathroom mirror, wiped from the steam were the words TURN BACK.
Henry's blood ran cold and his adrenaline spiked him into overdrive. He waved Chantal back into the shower and put his finger to his lips. She nodded then wrapped herself in her retrieved towel and dropped to the shower floor with her arms wrapped around her knees, whimpering slightly. Henry moved silently along the wall, watching the visible half of his room for any movement. He then burst round the door frame, only to find everything perfectly, precisely as they had left it. The shock of finding nothing collided with the spike of his adrenaline surge, which only fed his growing unease.
“There’s nobody here!” Henry called out after checking the closet, the only other place someone could have hidden.
“Did you lock the door?” Chantal asked, her mind already working on the mystery.
“I set the security protocol to auto lock every time it closes.”
“Paul. We need to talk to Paul.” Chantal said, squeezing her BDU’s up over her hips with a few hops. Henry pulled on his undershirt before tossing over hers.
“Why would we want to bring that weasel into this?” Henry asked, incredulous at to how he could possibly help.
“Because he has access to the surveillance tapes, why else?”
Henry stared at Chantal, brimming with rage, trying his hardest to keep it isolated to Paul over the invasion of his privacy.
“Did you just say surveillance tapes!?!” Henry asked in an icy tone. “That does it, I’m going to strangle him.” Henry said, moving with a purpose toward the door.
“Stop. Turn around and give me a kiss. I already disabled the video cameras, at least all the ones I could find. He has audio at best, even that I doubt. What he does have that I want is the data from the motion sensor that he had installed just in case you found the more obvious bugs. Unfortunately, I sabotaged its effectiveness by blocking the sensor with dense foam, but there might be enough of something to give us a clue."
“How in the hell do you know about all of this anyway, and why the hell didn’t you tell me?!” Henry roared.
“This entire enterprise is run by an intelligence agency; how can you not have seen that one coming a mile away? I have gotten very good at catching bugs over the years. Just because I expect the invasion of privacy to be happening, doesn’t mean I have to make it easy on them.” She replied firmly while staring him in the eyes with raised eyebrows.
“You’re incredible, I love you.” Henry blurted out before he could catch himself. Chantal beamed and tackled him to the bed sitting on his lap.
“What took you so long? Never mind, don’t answer that. I love you too, I have wanted to say that one for a while now.”
“You know these things aren’t easy for me. I had to be sure, I also didn’t want to mess anything up. We need to be able to work together even if we had turned out to be a bad couple.” Henry admitted, Chantal made an show as she thought it over, but she then smiled and helped Henry to his feet.
“Alright, my captain. You speak great wisdom. While I have certainly felt, and thoroughly enjoyed, the depths of your passion, it is really nice to hear about it too. I do think it makes it all the better that you rule said passion with reason. It’s one of the many things I love about you.” She said, laying her hand over his heart.
Henry took her other hand and kissed it before replying. “I think above all, I wanted to make sure that I didn’t take you for granted, nor suffer the same in reverse. A wise woman once gave me some great advice there that I have taken to heart.”
“Okay, Romeo, maybe you have a better handle on these things than you think. Now… Let’s go interrogate Paul.” Chantal had a fire in her eyes that Henry was loving very much at that moment.
“I have wanted to turn the screws on that spook for a while now.” Henry smiled as he spoke, and he opened up the connection to the ship’s intranet through his neural implant to send a message.
MEET ME IN YOUR QUARTERS IN 5 MINUTES FOR A DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE – CPT. O'TOOLE
“That ought to get him there and alone.” Henry smirked. “Let’s go.”
Together, they made their way to Paul’s equivalent-sized quarters, which he had somehow secured for himself in the ship design to help facilitate his role as the official thorn in Henry’s paw. I guess being the captain’s handler has its perks as well. Henry’s eye twitched at the corner.
After making them wait far too long, Paul opened the door and gesturing them inside. The door closed and Paul turned towards them, narrowing his eyes, studying them both.
“Is this about the fire?” Paul asked before Henry punched the weasel right in the diaphragm, forcing him to gasp for air. The look of shock on his face as he bent forwards was priceless.
“What the fuck, Henry!?” Paul managed to choke out after a minute between gasps.
“Relax, I didn’t do any permanent damage, yet.” Henry said, Paul for just a second showed actual fear in his eyes before he sneered in defiance. “Oh? That got your attention, did it? Why were you spying on me?” Henry growled.
Paul closed his eyes, dropped his head, and began to laugh before Henry grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the wall. Foolishly, Paul even then kept laughing amidst the gasping. So Henry squeezed until Paul started slapping his arm, looking genuine fear once more growing across his face.
“Orders… I was following orders!” Paul managed to say amidst gasps and coughs.
“I thought it might be something like that. You're going to open up those files, now, and you're going to show me everything.” Henry said, dropping him to his feet at last.
“Fucking hell, Henry, I thought you of all people would have anticipated this was going to be the case. Do you think the people who made this all possible would simply let you fly around the most dangerous, advanced warship in human history without some insurance?”
“Don’t try and weasel out of your own personal culpability here. You may also want to think back to other people who were “only following orders” while performing acts they knew were wrong before you wave that line around like some get out of jail free card.” The fact that he had nothing to say spoke volumes.
“You should have told me Paul.” Henry growled.
“That defeats the purpose! Plus, your girlfriend sabotaged them all before we ever left S33 anyway, and once more after! That type of tech doesn’t just grow on trees you know, and I don’t have an unlimited supply. You should be thanking me for covering for her and reporting back like things are normal!” Paul shouted in indignation.
“This is pointless, show me the files from around fifteen minutes ago, motion trackers, thermals, anything you have that's not blocked or sabotaged.” Henry commanded. Paul’s eyes narrowed, but after a long moment he huffed and closed his eyes. Paul then sat down at his station and fired it up.
“Like I said, I've got practically nothing. No video, muffled audio and readings from what I assume to be a faulty motion sensor, that’s it. What are we looking for?”
“Chantal and I were, well, together. After we got out of the shower we saw that someone had written turn back in the condensation on the bathroom mirror. Only problem? My door auto locks when closed and only opens for my biometrics. That is why all of this even came up in the first place.”
“Motherfucker. That's a whole heap of bad news.” Paul said. Henry merely nodded, paying rather more attention to the screen to see if he could catch Paul in a lie about the extent of the spying.
“There’s nothing. No disturbances in the air that would even remotely resemble human movement between you two getting in the shower and you charging into your bedroom. With the noise of the shower and the distance to the microphone, there is nothing I can discern that is anomalous. You can see it all right here for yourself.”
Henry found himself even more confused and alarmed than before.
“How is that possible? Look again, run through some filters or something. There must be some evidence somewhere!”
“Alright, relax, I will get to work on this and get you a report by the end of C shift. In the meantime, you look like a mess. Get some sleep man! I can take care of it from here. Oh, and I want you to remember that I forgave you quite magnanimously for that little episode back there where you attacked me.” Henry and Chantal gave each other a look as Paul spoke.
“Wasn’t gonna apologize anyway, you had it coming. I’m going to hit the rack. I expect that report to be detailed and ready when I get up.” Henry took Chantal by the hand, and they left together, not waiting for a response.
“What a snake. Did you see him in there? Zero guilt or recognition whatsoever about spying like that. It just makes my skin crawl. Gives me bad memories.” Chantal said, turning pensive and quiet.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Henry asked, seeing that there was something clearly bothering her.
“I… had an uncle that lived with us from time to time and he would spy on me when I was dressing, try and sneak looks in the shower, stuff like that. Never touched me or anyone else that I know of, thank god, but man did it screw me up a bit still. Played havoc with my sense of security and even my sanity, never being quite sure it was real. I wish I had said something, but I was afraid everyone would think I was overreacting or imagining it. I saw it in his eyes though, that look of... predatory lust. At least I didn't see anything like that in Paul's eyes. To this day it makes my skin crawl.”
“Good God, I can see how alone you must have felt in the middle of all that.” He squeezed her hand, she smiled up at him.
“Yeah, that was one of the hardest parts. I don’t think Paul is some raging pervert or anything, but it concerns me how normal it was to him. Even if he isn’t being a creep with it, as if we can take his claims to be covering for me at face value. There is still no way I am going to let him have easy access to intimate videos of us, if I can possibly help it.” Chantal said before adding, “I’ll be all right, don’t worry about me. Let’s just get some sleep.”
Henry put his palm against the biometric scanner outside his room and the door slid open for them. They definitely needed some sleep after the emotional roller coaster of the past few hours, and the irresistible warm embrace of his bed called for him. The Q-Comm report could wait until he woke, he decided. Better to have the electrical inspection done too.
I WANT A FULL REPORT AND INSPECTION PERFORMED ON THE ELECTRICAL FIRE IN CHANTAL’S ROOM BY THE START OF A SHIFT. – CAPT. O'TOOLE
Good enough. Henry thought as he sent the message. Now he could sleep. The chief would handle it.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER…
DATE : MARCH 10th, 7 A.U. LOCATION: SOL SYSTEM, ABOARD UTRN INDOMITABLE WILL
FIREMAN APPRENTICE SARAH CALLAHAN
It'll be back again tonight...
Sarah’s haunted thoughts repeated like a mantra. She had to be ready, but how? Her skin crawled and itched, the long sleeves of her BDU’s prevented her from being able to do anything about the painful sensation from the inflamed scratches they hid. She blearily rubbed at her sunken eyes, and she drained the rest of her coffee. All the numbers on the screen had started bleeding in together and her eyes hurt horribly, with the throbbing pain in her abdomen only compounding her misery.
“My god, Sarah, you look a wreck, hon. How have you been sleeping?” Yvonne, her shift partner asked, with concern in her voice.
“I have a monster tension headache, if the meds are going to kick in, I hope it’s soon. Can you check my math? I need to get out of these white lights for a few minutes. Close my eyes for a bit, something, anything. I've been having nightmares again.” Sarah felt good, being able to admit it, and Yvonne had long since proven her friendship, so it was easier to actually speak.
“Yeah, no prob. As soon as I am done here I will check your readings and we can get out of here. Do you mean nightmares from the invasion?” Yvonne asked, carefully picking her words and tone.
“Kind of the same general themes, but different. Everything is going wrong, like the worst possible outcomes of my worst nightmares are all combining together. Like, it feels malicious, I don't know, its hard to explain...” Sarah said, bleakly.
“That’s hard, I am sorry. You need a shower, and an uninterrupted nap. Sleep deprivation plays all kinds of hell on the body and mind. I had a friend who went through an insomniac phase so extreme he would go days without sleeping. Wound up in the hospital after trying to drive to work while hallucinating his dead fiancée was sitting in the passenger seat screaming at him to watch out. Wound up rear-ending the car in front of him. Thank God he lived to tell the tale, but that is why it worries me to see you like this.” Yvonne planted her hand on Sarah’s shoulder as she told the story.
“Yikes, I think I slept like two hours into my sleep shift before I started having the nightmares again, woke up, and passed in and out of some restless sleep. It got really bad around oh three hundred. There were sounds... noises like scratching and a loud bang, and the shadows were moving. I just kept feeling like I was being watched, but everyone else seemed to be having disturbed sleep in their bunks. God, it was a creepy feeling.” Sarah took a moment to compose herself.
“I know how crazy this will sound, maybe that I am sleep deprived and likely hallucinating like your friend, but just hear me out. There was something there Yvonne, in the dark at the edge of perception, I could feel it. I also know I wasn’t the only one tossing and turning either. I could also hear scratchy whispering, too. I just hid, strapped in under the weighted blanket. At some point I slept some more, I must have, but not for what felt like a few stressful and draining hours. I'm just making a total mess of explaining this, aren’t I?”
“No, you're fine, girl! I am sorry that happened, my dorm has been pretty quiet, but I have always slept like a rock. Is there anything I can do?”
“I could use a hug.” Sarah said, which caused Yvonne to laugh, breaking some of the tension. They embraced warmly for a good minute, which did wonders for relieving some of the headache and her black mood.
“Thanks, Yvonne, I know it’s all in my head and it’s a vicious feedback cycle due to lack of quality sleep. Thanks for listening without calling me crazy.“ Sarah said, shying away from the last thing she hadn’t the courage to say.
She didn’t dare mention how she had hidden under the covers as she felt it get near. How she had felt something pushing on the mattress. How as her fear peaked, she herself peeked over the covers to find nothing there just to have the oppressive feeling evaporate along with the sensation of pressure by her feet. Her dorm mates all seemed to stop stirring after that, and only then did the nightmares stop for her that night. By then she was left with barely enough time for one last short sleep cycle before the start of A shift that very morning. This was a secret she would have to keep to herself, nobody would believe her anyway.
“I think I'll ask the Chief for a break from my duties today to rest and to visit med bay. Maybe they can give me something to help catch back up on my sleep.” Sarah said.
“Good idea, can I come with? I’ll back you up.” Yvonne said. Sarah smiled at her friend before she nodded at her before they checked off the last of their duties on site and headed away to find the Chief.

Re-done version of a previous fanscript bc I wanted to add more classic literature - enjoy :) (also, this one is set in season 2 and stars the Powercast girls almost exclusively, it was a lot of fun)
Scene: Wednesday and Enid are hanging about in their room, both reading - first upside down in her armchair, latter lying on her belly across her bed. There's a knock on the door.
Enid: Come in!
Bianca: (peeks in) Hey.
They greet her. Thing waves at her friendlily.
Bianca: (entering) Just wanted to drop by and ask if there's been any news from the town.
Wednesday: None. No new sighthings at all.
Bianca: Ah. Alright. (she waits for another moment, then turns to leave)
Enid: Wait.
Bianca turns to her.
Enid: You can stay for a bit.
Bianca: Actually, I have to ... (she stills for a moment, thinking) ... you know what, that's fine.
She walks over to Enid, who pats on the bed next to her, smiling. She sits down, fetching her phone.
Bianca: The fencing club is getting new equipment today, but ... I'll see it soon enough. I'll ask Davinia and Yoko to unpack it. If they don't mind.
Enid: (shrugs) Quality couple time, time for you to relax a bit. I think you can use it.
Bianca: What do you mean?
Enid: (nods at her hands holding the phone - her nailbeds are sore from picking at them)
Bianca: (a little somber) That's nothing.
Enid looks at her, then finishes typing something on her phone and moves to the back of the bed as the conversation continues
Wednesday: I'm afraid they still won't lift the curfew any time soon.
Bianca: (chuckles) Oh, no - that stays until next year, I'd say.
Enid: (getting back up, sitting down next to Bianca) Come on, I can't see this.
She unscrews a small, new tube of salve and takes Bianca's right hand, starting to apply it on the wounds. Bianca looks at her surprised, and her hand trembles for a moment - but then she decides to not pull it away. She looks ahead, sighing a little. Then she turns to her other hand - Thing presses it, avoiding the sore parts. She smiles a little.
Bianca: I didn't expect this level of friendliness in this room.
Wednesday: Insufferable, isn't it?
Enid: (snorts)
Wednesday: Do you want to say something?
Enid: (looking at her) Do you want me to?
They stare at each other for a moment, then first turns back to her book. Enid smiles, turning back to her work while Bianca holds back laughter.
Bianca: What are you reading?
Wednesday: (closes the book, revealing it to be "Catching Fire", the second Hunger Games installment)
Bianca: (does something between a gasp and a chuckle) Mainstream and YA? Addams, I'm shocked!
Wednesday: Enid suggested it.
Enid: I'm reading Dracula meanwhile.
Bianca: Really?
Enid: (chuckles) Didn't expect what I'd be given.
Wednesday: Journal entries and newspaper articles I thought would be to her taste. I'm glad I didn't have to search for long.
Bianca:: Huh. To be honest, reading letters or retold stories in a book always sounded with me really well.
Wednesday: I did like that element in Frankenstein. And Pride and Prejudice.
Bianca: (chuckles) No way. Jane Austen too, Addams? Do tell.
Wednesday: (looks at her)
Bianca: And not the added Zombies version, right? You went for the original.
Wednesday: Nothing more painful that reading about the english upper class. Besides, am I not allowed to like well-written dialogue?
Bianca: I was going to say, Austen is pretty smart usually.
Wednesday: The characters are for sure. Usually.
Enid: Also, Austen likes her protagonists to learn something without them being stupid.
Bianca: You don’t see that granted one often for sure.
Enid: It’s like the old Barbie movies. (she’s done with Bianca’s right hand and moves on to the left one)
Wednesday: What?
Bianca: Said by someone who’s never seen one.
Wednesday: Do tell yourself now, Barclay.
Bianca: Barbie’s usually a pretty good role model. I can’t remember an installment where she’s not clever or very hands-on when it comes to the plot.
Enid: Word. People come to her for help, and she can usually provide it until she needs some herself.
Wednesday: Huh.
Enid: Plus, those movies’ humour is underrated.
Bianca: Indeed. Still can’t get over the added bloopers.
Enid: Love those. (finishes applying the salve on her other hand)
Bianca: (quietly) Thank you.
Enid smiles. Bianca lies backwards onto the bed, looking at them.
Enid: (murmurs) Yeah, good idea.
She lies down next to her and they’re all quiet for a moment. Then Enid moves to turn around so she can lean her heels against the wall a bit. Bianca follows suit, relaxing.
Wednesday: I once came across a book called “Winter’s Bone”. The protagonist also can take care of herself really well, but she needs the help of others to get by still, and to solve her father’s disappearance.
Bianca: I remember that one. It’s really about the need of people of each other.
Wednesday: (looks at her) Interesting perspective.
Bianca: (shrugs) The whole story happens because she’s fighting to keep her loved ones, and protect them. And everyone else kinda rely on each other as well. Even when they try to get by themselves, they still need each other. That has an effect on the story a few significant times.
Enid: Yeah…
Bianca: (chuckles)
Wednesday: What now?
Bianca: I just remembered the movie adaptation was what launched the main actress into the Hunger Games.
Wednesday: Really? (looks at the book) Fitting.
Enid: Really was. And they stuck to the books like crazy. (she sighs, looking at the Dracula book lying around nearby) Wish that was more normal.
Bianca: (follows her look) I think I remember they ruined Lucy, right?
Enid: Mina as well. For the usual reasons. Too strong and active and too nice respectively.
Bianca: Hm.
They lie on the bed for a moment, looking at the ceiling.
Wednesday: We could have less of that. (thinks a moment) Enid?
Enid: Yes?
Wednesday: (lifts up her book) What did this series’ adaptation do concerning Prim?
Enid: Well, they didn’t add her skill and ability to focus as a healer that her mother has too in film 1, but they added it significantly in the second one… so you get the impression Prim matured this way when Katniss was absent, which still works for me.
Bianca: And that she’s just not a hunter like her sister, but a really needed healer. Which is great. The series does point out that everyone is good at something else. And how much Katniss needs her as the story goes on. By the end, their roles are almost reversed.
Wednesday: Slow down, I’m still in part 2.
Bianca: (chuckles) Sorry.
Enid: I’m glad you enjoy it this much.
Bianca: (raises her hands) While we’re at healing, this feels really good.
Enid: Yeah – I’m more of a healer than a hunter too, I guess. (sighs)
Bianca: Well, didn’t we just say that’s a good thing?
Enid looks at her, then smiles. Bianca returns it.
Bianca: (shows her her hands) Case in point.
Enid: You know what else is healing? (she fetches her phone) Any preferences for a playlist?
Wednesday: (sighs) Headphones.
Enid: Headphones?
Wednesday: (sighs again) Headphones please.
Enid: (smiles)
Bianca: Maybe some Disney?
Enid: (beams at her) Coming right up!
They relax back on the bed and Enid starts the playlist. They stare at the ceiling. The first song comes on – it’s “Mother knows best” from Rapunzel. They both cringe their noses. After a moment, Enid fetches her phone back and seeks the shuffle button.
Enid: Do you mind?
Bianca: No! Really not.
They look at each other for a moment – not saying anything, but seeing something in the other they understand. Enid presses the button and cuts the song of at “Mother knows-“. The next one is the reprise of “Part of your world” from “The Little Mermaid”. They both relax at it a little. Wednesday looks over at them, with a gentle look, and turns back to her book. After a moment however, she decides to fetch her own headphones and get some white noise to reading. Outside, Xavier opens the door to the balcony and comes walking towards the window. He looks to see if the girls are home, and sees Enid and Bianca chilling on the bed, having closed their eyes. As he looks closer, surprised and even raising an eyebrow at this, Thing slams against the glass flatly. He jumps back startled. The hand signals him to go away.
Xavier: Why?
Thing: (smacks the glass twice firmly)
Xavier: Ugh, fine! (he walks away)
Inside, the girls stir a little. They remove their headphones.
Enid: Did you hear something?
Wednesday and Bianca: (hear the door slam in the distance and exchange a look) No.
They go back to their music.
