Deer teeth. For you, kid!

so a headcanon for you: 

catra has trouble sleeping alone, she is prone to nightmares. entrapta has trouble sleeping alone, she gets big anxiety about it and sleeps poorly. entrapta tends to sneak around so shes sleeping in the vents of where other people are resting and they get used to this presence. some people welcome it, those hardest of sleep who don’t mind the sound of snoring. 

anyway catra and entrapta are able to recognise this in each other, so when adora is away, and entrapta is hit by the… unexpected need to sleep, they nap together. starts off with sharing a communal bunk in the space ship, evolves into actual cuddling. 

they love this state of affairs. it is far easier to relax. 

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Some thoughts on my hxh art school au and how I think they and their art would look

New auroraclan introduction! This is Amberfur she is described as thoughtful, a great teacher and a formidable fighter. Shes just a model warrior in general. she seems to get ignored and disregarded a lot? I found that weird, but it may be because she not particularly remarkable and not horrible either. That being said shes reliable and always in the heat of things. Shes got a seemingly unrequited crush on Sablefur (her design is on the way) Sunstar respects her but they seem to annoy each other in unintentional ways

Wednesday: Enid, what is a MILF?

Enid: What?

Wednesday: I have heard several students refer to my mother as a MILF. I am not familiar with the term. What does it mean?

Enid: Uuuh…

Wednesday: You don't know?

Enid: Oh, I do. I'm just wondering if telling you would make me an accomplice to several murders.
