1. get an old sock and fill it halfway up with uncooked white rice. tie off the ankle and throw it into the microwave for around a minute. use it for cramps, also if your feet are cold at night.
2. if you have no pads, here is how you make a toilet paper pad. first you get one long strip and fold it up a bit, and put it in your undies like a pad. take another long strip and wrap it around the other way to secure the first piece. if you don’t do that second step, the first piece will get caught up in your fiddly bits and it won’t work !!!!!!!
3. take painkillers as soon as you see blood. do NOT wait until the cramps start. take it from me.
4. chamomile tea is a muscle relaxant and will help your cramps.
5. drink water !!!! stay hydrated !!!!!!!!! this is a general life tip but it helps periods too.
6. get to sleep on time. seriously, don’t pull an all-nighter if you can avoid it. it’ll make everything hellish the next day, or at the very least you’ll crash and it’ll be hell.
7. hot baths can also help alleviate cramps. also, if you want to feel all aesthetic-y, you can light a buttload of scented candles and turn out the lights. it’s super cool i promise.
8. take care of yourself friend, i promise you’ll make it through uwu
Your Memory of Touch meta strategy is absolutely hilarious by the way.

Don't know if anyone else has made a post like this already, but of the numerous things that In Stars and Time does well, I love how every party member has a different naming convention for their skills
We got Siffrin, all puns. Knife to Meet You is quite clean
We got Mirabelle, all cutesy names that would feel at home in a magical girl manga. Artsy Silent Burst is my favorite
We got Isabeau, who definitely just named his skills after what he shouts when using them. Can't decide if I like BREAK, BREAK!!! or WE WILL WIN!!! more
Then we got Odile, with the very functional [element] [rank] formatting straight out of the original Final Fantasy games. I'm quite partial to Paper α V
And then of course there's Bonnie, with their various Techniques that sound disproportionately cool compared to what they actually do. And yet, who can stand up to the might of the Billion Blows Technique?
So there's this thing my cat does, where when you're sleeping, he'll jump on you and demand pets while pawing at your face and meowing. I'm imagining Siffrin doing something similar to Isabeau. "Hey. Hey." -bap bap bap- "Hold me."

ANYONE ELSE THINK ABOUT THIS FUCKING MOMENT. BECAUSE I SURE DO. this initially was just me wanting to draw loop being angry as hell for fun but then i was like "remember when their portrait changed to siffrins for a sec that one time" and the entire drawing changed. and i spent 2 hours trying toget this damn gif to work . what a nightmare. but its fineeeee so heres the pics by themselves in less crunchy quality
YOOOOOO SLOOPS BLOG!!! A request......perhaps post dueling. But of the silly variety and not the "I'll kill you and take your place" variety.
