In a lot of vampire lore, being bitten by a vampire just once doesn't turn a human into a vampire, but some sort of a thrall, enchanted and seduced by the vampire's alluring ways, to make the victim more pliable and easy to feed from, and only a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites will turn the human victim into a vampire.
Which is compatible with the theory that italians are the opposite of vampires. While vampires cannot stand the sight of crosses, stepping into a church, or being exposed to garlic or sunlight, and cannot see themselves in a mirror, italians become miserable if they cannot have access to a church, crosses, direct sunlight, garlic, and getting to see themselves in a mirror.
Consequently, sensually biting the neck of an italian may enthrall one, but will not immediately turn you into an italian. But a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites may get one to marry you, therefore giving you an italian citizenship.
don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.
i swear, canonly rin itoshi, you'll always have a special place in my heart <33
Tsundere! Itoshi Rin x reader, where he insists he's well despite having a fever and you take care of him, making him open up to you a little more.
You wondered what lay beneath the hundred cold walls Rin has built around himself. Maybe more walls to keep others out. To keep you out. Because despite being together for a few months now, you still felt as if he never opened up to you.
Once you thought there was something wrong with you. Maybe Rin wasn't actually in love with you. That's why he still kept his distance. But no, he has proven time and time again, in those subtle ways of his, that the thought is false.
It has now become your mission in life to help him break out of his shell. Because you know, deep beneath those walls, he is lonely and sad and a beautiful person still, a person you'll always love.
And when he woke up with a burning fever beside you, Rin, being his stubborn self decided it was nothing.
"What do you mean it's nothing?" You call out as he slips out of bed, ready to start his day by heading to the gym.
"I said…" he walka to the bathroom with trembling steps, his breath hitching, "don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"You are anything but fine, Rin," you stomp over to him, blocking the bathroom door and glaring up at him, "stay in bed!"
Rin growls, now you have pissed him off. Interrupting his morning routine like this needs guts only you have.
"Listen here…" he trails off, his feet wobbling as he loses balance.
"Shit!" You support him upright, his weight crushing you down as his vision blurs, "Rin! You okay?"
"I'm… I'm fine…" he gasps, and stumbles back towards the bed as you help him lie down.
"Exactly," you scoff, folding your arms as you watch him catch his breath, sprawled on the bed, "you seem perfectly fine."
"…leave." Rin spits out, struggling to grab the covers.
You sigh and sit down beside him, pulling the sheets over him, "Rin, stop it."
He eyes you questioningly, still irritated.
"Stop," you lean forward and brush his soft hair away from his eyes, lightly caressing his face as he visibly relaxes, "stop shutting me out. I want to be with you. I want to see and love everything of you. So please, don't shut me out."
Rin was taken aback, his face dropping his cold mask. After a long stare with your fingers still soothing his face, he shut his eyes and you felt like you had never seen him this relaxed before as he weakly grabbed your palm and placed a feverish kiss on it.
"Sorry," you almost didn't hear him mumble, "I don't want you to leave. I just... I just..." he grabbed his face, trying to contain himself before he slips up and reveals his true self.
His true self which you would see and won't love back. It scares him. That's the only thing that scares him, you leaving him behind like everyone else did, like his brother did. But when he looked into those eyes of yours, drowned in concern and love for him, he decided that maybe you are different. Maybe you would see beneath his mask and still love what you see.
He's willing to take the risk. For you, he's willing.
And so, he opened his arms towards you, his face so loving, needy and human- so unlike the cold, hard mask he always wore, and whispered,
"I'm sorry. I won't shut you out. I want you to... want you to stay..." he gulped, his spread out arms trembling due to his rising fever, "Please?"
With a soft smile, you accept his embrace, snuggling into his heated body as he envelopes you, draping his legs over yours and burying you in his chest.
You wish you could stay that way for longer. But Rin needed medicine, and you were pleasantly surprised when he let you feed him the porridge you prepared.
Maybe after this, he'd start letting you in. Maybe his mask and his walls would slowly melt off until he would be bare before you, and you'd love him still.
A/N: Ah yes, my messed up Rin who shuts people out despite knowing he's damaging himself. Tell me if you guys need more of Tsundere! Rin because I sure do.

this man is the saviour, i'm happy that i get to know him even after he trade his life for heaven
So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".
He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.
He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.
Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.
Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.
maybe this year i will watch two movies

Dr. Mustafa a survivor of four Israeli airstrikes, he used to still believe that something might change, but eventually before his tragic death he filmed his last video saying to the whole world, “We have been defeated in front of the children. We are dying of hunger while the world’s trash bins are overflowing with food. There is no justice except in heaven.” unfortunately Dr.Mustafa was killed in a fifth airstrike that targeted him, ending up his life, career and hope of better future for the people of Gaza on the 7th of February.
Imagine lying for 75 years and STILL not being able to say a proper lie it's just pathetic at this point
The new pucca website (despite being made for the crypto thing) is pretty cool and says that Pucca's dad left to find the ultimate food (whatever that means). I think this also implies the chef trio was a quartet at some point, which is interesting.
I'm experimenting with watermarks.
