Hey Btw If You're In The USA At 2:20 P.m. ET On Wednesday, Oct. 4, They're Testing The Emergency Broadcast

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

hello! Can i ask for a platonic freenoodles(pigsy x tang), macaque & sun wukong with a teenager reader (platonic as i mentioned) Who does ballet and acting, but gets a little nervous before actuations just comfort & fluff tysm

-anon

Awwwwww I love this so much, I think I got dad vibes from the prompt but if it's a different case lemme know (I think I understood what you meant combination wise forgive me if I mixed it up)

Freenoodles and Shadowpeach(separately)x GN!Teen!Theater Kid!Reader (Platonic Headcanons!)

Freenoodles

So supportive. Tang knows much more about theater than Pigsy does but that's okay! Pigsy makes sure you don't miss any rehearsals or anything and Tang helps you run through your lines and what not at home if you want to practice! Alternatively, if you're doing tech support, costumes, etc, they'll lend any assistance they're able to!

When opening night comes along they're both sitting towards the front cheering you on(quietly of course). No matter who you end up playing(be it a tree, a villain, or a hero)they are invested in your performance!! If you're doing tech support or whatever they're very excited to see all the hard work you've put in! Afterwards they get pictures of you, give you a little bouquet, and Pigsy makes whatever you'd like for dinner.

Shadowpeach

Wukong isn't nearly as excited as Macaque but that doesn't mean he doesn't care! He just doesn't have a thing for dramatics the way that Mac does. Macaque is already asking a million questions--what show are you doing? Who do you play? Or are you working behind the scenes?--and then when he's gotten answers he will most likely do something to celebrate. Might take you out for ice cream or something! After that, expect both monkeys to offer you whatever help you need in terms of rehearsing or crafting for the show!

Wukong gradually becomes more invested the closer it gets to opening night. Macaque got them both front row seats and he might even dress up for it lol. They both love seeing you perform or seeing the artistry you put into the show! Afterwards they're cheering and giving you a standing ovation. They tell you everything they loved about the show, how well you did, and then take you wherever you want for a nice post-show dinner!

Beautiful display of solidarity ongoing right now from the US calling for a ceasefire in Gaza

Could you do an easily flustered Nezha x Flirtatious/Suggestive reader? Reader can be Gender Neutral or male, your choice.

Flustered!Nezha x Flirty!GN!Reader Romantic Headcanons!

ah yes. stoic, organized, uptight Prince Nezha........who has the BIGGEST weak spot for you.

he's very patient when it comes to your antics!! he doesn't mind if you follow him around while he's working or anything, or if you'd like to stay and chat with him in his gardens during his rare bits of free time.

the problem arises when you decide to flirt with him.

at first, you're very cautious about it--because really, how much are you able to get away with?

your kisses linger a little more, you're the one to link elbows with him first when the two of you are walking, and oh boy you give him a lot of compliments!!

(compliments and praise are the way to his heart tbh)

"your hair is soft today", "oh, your form was spot on when you were training earlier!", "that was a good idea, good job!"

he's already overheating.

poor boy never knows what to say to those comments!! just kinda blushes a bit more and refuses to make eye contact

then, when you've gotten more comfortable with him, you begin to be more bold.

"your hands are so cold. let me warm them up", "can I have another kiss?", "my handsome prince"

Nezha.exe has stopped working

a few too many comments and he'll start kissing you to shut you up otherwise he's gonna set himself on fire by accident

we love him :))

SIDE NOTE: if anyone comments or dms me about this possibly being out of line because it's Nezha, PLEASE KNOW my intention was not to offend anyone and I am writing about the LMK version of him--who is much more adult! I AM NOT writing him as a child(AND NEVER WILL)!! thank you :)

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

not the coquettes literally reinventing nazi phrenology on tiktok
