I don’t like the phrase “a cry for help”. I just don’t like how it sounds. When someone says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide, I have a plan; I just need a reason not to do it”. The last thing I see is helplessness. I think your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic and a failure. For so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope. But still, here you are. You’ve come over to me, banged on my door and said “hey! Staying alive is really hard right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!” How is that helpless? I think it’s incredible. You’re like a marine, trapped for years behind enemy lines, your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders. And you’re still just going “give me a stick. I’m not dying out here”. “A cry for help” make it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you, but you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species. With NO hope, running on NOTHING, you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety. All I’m doing is handing out sticks. You’re the one staying alive.

I think it’s time to share with you what I actually do when I study. Here’s a list (non-exhaustive) of the main tools I use before an exam. Enjoy!
I read my notes consciously, then I hide them and try to write down everything I remember. Then I’ll take my notes again, and look for what’s missing. Not only it permits me to see what I still don’t know, but it also consolidates what I already know. This one really works if you have to learn pathways, key concepts, etc. Re-write as it comes to your mind, make a mind-map, use arrows, etc.
Once I identified what I don’t know, I’ll just put a mark on my notes, so I know that this specific part needs to be more reviewed.
When I feel overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to review, I’ll just divide it into sections and create a study plan! 99% of the time, this makes me realize that it’s not that terrible and I can get through this! I feel much better then!
The Forest App. I don’t use it systematically but it really helps me keeping distractions away (AKA my phone) and in the end, I can have a little peek view of my study session!
Whenever I’m reading something important that I know I won’t automatically remember, I write it down on a piece of paper. Indeed, I always use a bloc-notes when studying, so I just write down important points. By doing this, I become more active when learning and actually remember better! And sometimes I keep those pieces of paper so I can re-read them just before the exam.
I try to stick to a memorization routine. For example, if it’s the first time I read a specific topic that I have to memorize, I’ll re-read it 3 days after, then again a week after, then 10 days after, etc. This is the best way to memorize: « repetitio est mater studiorum » as my anatomy teacher says.
When reading your notes, always try to think about what could be the possible questions that are “exam askable”.
If you have any specific topics to learn about the same main subject, try to summarize each topic on only one paper sheet. It’s been proven that we tend to memorize more when we see the information only on one paper than many. For example, I’m currently preparing my microbiology exam, so I did a sheet for each virus or bacteria and put them in plastic sleeves and store them in a binder. By doing this, I’ll be able to re-read them all the days before the exam and retain the most important information!
The textbook is cool, but sometimes I’m in a rush and summaries made from previous years students will do the job. Of course, I make sure there’re no mistakes inside. And it can actually help with difficult subjects.
I only use flash cards for vocabulary (my dear Spanish!) or pharmacology. They are the PERFECT way to memorize some things by heart!
I multitask intelligently. For example, when I workout I listen to audiobooks or watch medical-related videos on youtube while walking on the treadmill
I test myself. I take online quizzes, I ask some friends or my boyfriend to interrogate me so I train my brain to see the problems differently and learn more!
STUDYGRAM
H-Hello! Since I saw the last ask about Sesshomaru, and since I love him too... I can a ask for the NSFW version of the headcanons? Thank you in advance! *HIDES*
Finally~ My day has come~
WARNING! 18+ CONTENT BELOW~ PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru merely gives chaste kisses on occasion. He’s not one for PDA (initially) and keeps things pretty vanilla. At first.
He is addicted to marking his partner’s neck. Laves and nibbles over their pulse where their scent is the strongest.
Loves to dominate his partner. Growls and uses just enough strength to pin them beneath his muscular body. Uses his strong hips to keep them in place.
Apprehensive of blow jobs at first. Nervous about having teeth that close to his member. However, over time he learns to enjoy it greatly. So much so that he enjoys face-fucking (if his partner allows).
Champ at oral sex. He is a master with his mouth. Laves his tongue over their sex, harsh sucks, vibrating growls push his partner closer to completion. He can’t really use his fingers because of his claws, but has considered trimming them on one hand for their pleasure.
Has the most glorious penis known to any species, ever. Longer than seven inches and gloriously thick. Smooth flawless skin with a pink head that turns crimson when he’s aroused. This dick definitely gives his partner a healthy, pleasurable stretch.
Makes sure they are thoroughly prepared before sex. Keeps oil/lubricant on hand to help them out, and chances are his partner will achieve at least one orgasm before penetration.
Enjoys multiple positions. His go-to’s are missionary and doggy, though he has no qualms contorting his partner into any position that has them screaming. His pace will depend on his mood. Slow and sensual when he is relaxed; long and deep when he is stressed; and a brutal fuck when he’s feeling jealous or hostile. He will also take his partner’s feelings into consideration, since he would never want to harm or force them.
Not much for sex in public places, but that doesn’t mean he won’t spice things up. The bedroom is where most of the action takes place; but he also enjoys sex in the bath, in his office, and in his private gardens. Any place that is safe and saturated in his scent will be used for any form on intimacy.
Grunts and growls low in his chest. No more will really come from this beast. May growl louder when he climaxes, and bares his sharp canines. However, he adores his partner moaning and crying loudly beneath him. Does whatever he can to elicit the sweetest noises from them.
This youkai cums a lot, much more than a human. Spurts thick white ropes about 20 times. Completely overfills his partner, but it’s his body’s way of trying to assure pregnancy.
Rubs his scent all over his partner following intercourse. Makes sure his pheromones completely mix into their scent before he can calm down. He uses it as a way to mark his partner in both protection and possession.
Requires his partner to bathe after intercourse. Most ften carries them to the bath and washes them down himself. He rubs a sponge gently over their skin, and insists on using his own bathing soaps and oils. Washes them thoroughly before washing himself.
Prefers laying nude wrapped around is partner. Buries his nose in their nape, and keeps their hips firmly pressed against his own. Often licks their luscious skin and purrs deep in his chest until they fall asleep.
Always the dominant in the relationship. Often initiates sex/intimacy of any kind. Whenever his partner initiates or rides him, he still steers them under a firm hand. Not to say he doesn’t enjoy his partner bouncing on his cock; but often pistons his hips into theirs from below until they collapse onto his chest.
OMEGAVERSE! AU
Extremely sensitive to the scent of his mate. His pure Alpha instincts have him crazy for them in seconds.
Knaws on their scent gland regularly. Completely entranced by their scent and taste on his tongue. There is usually a mark left on their neck, but neither mind. Usually starts his day overwhelming his senses with them, mouth watering and brain foggy.
Marks their neck after the initial mating, but often nibbles and sucks over the mark. Loves to see his mate’s knees go weak as he assaults the sensitive spot.
Loves to feel his mate claw down his back when they fuck. The burning track marks around his spine only make his hips buck faster and harder into his mate.
Craves the taste of their slick. Whether merely horny or mindlessly in heat, Sesshomaru will spend lengthy amounts of time between their thighs. He growls lightly as he slurps and gulps down every drop of their essence.
Has a thick, smooth knot. It takes quite a bit of force to stuff the entire thing into his partner. Makes sure they orgasm a couple of times before he gives them his knot. Loves when they orgasm around his knot, since they will both have longer and stronger orgasms.
Purrs at the sight if his cum dripping out of their hole. Not only is the sight pleasing to his inner beast; but the aroma it gives off, both of their fertile scents mixing together, drives him absolutely wild.
Rubs his scent all over his mate’s things. Whether it be merely rubbing his scent glands on something, or even smearing his cum; he wants his scent wrapped around them.
His mate’s nipples are extremely sensitive. Sometimes he is gentle with them, merely teasing and licking over the nubs. Others, he will assault the little pebbles with his tongue and teeth until they cry out beneath him. His infatuation with them only gets greater when they get pregnant and start leaking milk.
MODERN! AU
He is is not super experienced. He has lain with a couple of partner’s before, but he has not had time to indulge in romantic or sexual relationships.
Not much of one for porn, but he has watched and read quite a few things to educate himself on the different types of sexuality, gender, kinks, and methods. He doesn’t know if he will ever use the information, but he retains it regardless.
His initial experience with his partner is very slow and sensual. He uses the time to study their reaction to everything. He listens to their voice and watches their body contort as he licks, touches, and thrusts into them. Keeps it all in the back of his mind for later use.
His job often stresses him out, so he will return home with a lot of pent up anger resting on his shoulders. This often results in him wanting to fuck. Hard. Loves to bend his partner over any surface and ram into them as soon as they are prepared. Growls and grunts as he takes them over the edge repeatedly.
He is not much of one to use toys in the bedroom, but he has a strange fascination with using vibrators of different varieties on his partner. The strong vibe patterns create the must beautiful looks of pleasure on their face, and he likes to see how close he can drive them to the edge before cumming. However, he does not allow them to come from the fake toy. They are only allowed to cum around his thick cock.
Speaking of bedroom, he would definitely be open to moving around their sexual escapades. His entire penthouse (save for Rin’s room) is open for sex. He particularly finds that he enjoys pressing them against the large glass wall, fucking them in the pool, and eating them out on the kitchen counter.
Once more comfortable with his partner, he gets more adventurous. He likes blindfolding them and typing them down so he can torture them for hours. Orgasm denial is his favorite game and he knows how to play it like a master.
Is very careful about using condoms with his partner unless they say otherwise, and even then he is apprehensive. While the idea of being with his partner for the rest of his life, he only wants to cross that bridge when they are both absolutely ready. Not to mention the thought of another child is a large pill for him to swallow. He has Rin to think of, and he wants her to be completely acclimated and prepared to the idea of new people in their lives before making that decision.
Worships his partner’s body with every ounce of his being. He isn’t prejudiced about shape or size, gender or ethnicity. He just wants someone he can connect to, and boy does he. He connects to them all over the place, frequently.
These are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head. There will probably be more that spring up down the road lol. Thank you, @yaminohimeyume for the wonderful request. I hope you enjoy it, because I know I did!

Many thanks to @thatshamelessyaoishipper for subbing the entire section.
This line of dialogue (spoken by Yurio) is genuinely so important to our understanding of Viktor’s character. It’s fair to say that a lot of us kind of view his character as lovable, childlike, and whimsical, and that isn’t wrong. But this proves it, he’s only like that around Yuuri, according to somebody who has known him for three years or so at an absolute minimum.
This is the Viktor Nikiforov without Yuuri, the one the majority of people know. This is the Viktor Nikiforov who sits alone in parks in the snow, with only his dog for comfort, as he contemplates how his life even turned up like that.
I know this is a particularly bad moment, to be fair, but just look how miserable he looks.
Even here, he just looks so bored and serious.
This is Viktor without Yuuri for what? Three days?
The actual effect Yuuri had on Viktor’s life is astounding. With Yuuri, Viktor learnt to let everything go and just be him, rather than his more restrained and serious self, morphing into the usual personality we see and love for the duration of the anime.
All I can picture is the first day Viktor and Yuuri start training again at the rink in St Petersburg, and are absolutely gobsmacked to witness Viktor smiling, laughing, with his arms draped around Yuuri like he’s a buoyancy aid. Quiet, serious Viktor Nikiforov actually looking like he’s enjoying his day. He’s the opposite of the kind of man who would tickle someone publicly, but there he is, chasing Yuuri Katsuki around the rink like a five year old. It’s like some kind of bizarre dream. Even Yakov would have to admit that Yuuri’s presence has transformed him.
And perhaps Yakov even asks him once, unable to help himself, where Viktor suddenly got so much inspiration from, after so many years of misery.
The only answer he gets, as Viktor starts to walk away, is “he gave me his love, Yakov.”
AU CONCEPT:
What if Goku accidentally let slip about Future Trunks’ identity and BULMA AND VEGETa had to schedule the sexy time arrangement to make Trunks to save the future.

I really like this InuKag demon version from my Halloween piece. ^^
I miss them…
ME1 and ME2 Garrus: Has immeasurable respect for you, lets you be his moral compass. Agrees to become closer to you because he respects you more than anyone in the entire galaxy and you have brought out the best in him
ME3 Garrus: Makes fun of your dancing. Literally will not shut up about the fact that he’s your boyfriend. His ego hangs on one shot of a sniper rifle.
