What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener

Save a life reblog

[kukachoosays]

i am so glad that i renblogged this however so long ago. i saw this post and shared it with others in mind, but now i am the one who really needs this. id like to think of this as good karma i guess

[comrade-jiang]

also a good list if anyone ever needs to run away from home for whatever reason.

[inferocitas]

Messmer and Melina… my doomed siblings. I have always adored them the most out of Marika’s children. In part, I suppose it’s because I see parts of myself in both of them, but ☹️ they are so lovely.

If your tarnished(s) could have their ideal ending, not necessarily one of the main six, what would it be?

also I’m curious to here more about Wynne trying to bring Mel back.

The way I just got this as I was spamming omg am so sorry Rat 😭

Okay so since you're curious about Wynnie boy we'll start with him first!

Ideally, Wynne would restore the Crucible, welcoming all Omen, Misbegotten etc. as equals! He'd find a way to bring back Mel (random bullshit canon Divergence thingies go)

Tbh, I had it in mind that Wynne would give up his throne as Elden Lord (or some aspect of it) by throwing a rune into the forge and or Dragon Communion ritual by using Placidie's corpse.

Melina wouldn't be a demi god in this case and would have her bodily automony once again. A while into the future, they would have an Omen son, named Rollo after The Omenkiller that once protected his younger brother Wynne :)

Lyra is tricky because if she'd never met Ranni not much would change, aside from improving the quality of life for all. Perhaps Lyra wouldn't take the throne of Elden Lord publicly. My gut tells me she'd venture out and explore, studying the stars as they've always been. Of course with Ranni, she'd love to do that, and her

Jejwjwj2j3b but seriously Lyra would love to travel the world with Ranni <3

Drakon.....

Ah, he'd probably take over the Jagged Peak, forcing his own Age of Beastile after killing Bayle and the other ancient dragons. An Age with creatures and savages ripping out eachother's throat. An age where the strong survive and the weak would be served for dinner. Dragons rule again, but only in a bath of crimson

After all, Drakon loves death and would purge the The Lands Between for the thrill of slaughter. That, or he'd served alongside Mohg again, finishing the Age of Blood for him.

Theodrin, the other brother, would Ideally live with Messmer at the capital once more. Theodrin is dying, decaying slowly, so the last place he'd want to be is with his beloved Shepherd of Fire.

Theodrin and Drakon both come from Draconic descent, only Drakon used his knowledge of Blood magic to find his strength and vitality. Theodrin searched for a cure, and found his heart instead.

Sorry if Theodrin's isnt as fleshed out, I'm still working on the details with him!

But thank.you so so much for the ask! I quite enjoy these <3

Now off I go to eep <3

[de-gueules-au-lion-d-or]

The main point of Christianity was this: that Nature is not our mother: Nature is our sister. We can be proud of her beauty, since we have the same father; but she has no authority over us; we have to admire, but not to imitate. This gives to the typically Christian pleasure in this earth a strange touch of lightness that is almost frivolity. Nature was a solemn mother to the worshippers of Isis and Cybele. Nature was a solemn mother to Wordsworth or to Emerson. But Nature is not solemn to Francis of Assisi or to George Herbert. To St. Francis, Nature is a sister, and even a younger sister: a little, dancing sister, to be laughed at as well as loved.

Hi hi

Its been a uh

Hot minute since I've ranted but of course

My mind is always drawn to Elden Ring.

Anyways!

Melina is a ghost...for thousands of years. Wandering and alone. With no memory...or at least the memory of her purpose.

Do you think she remembers the feeling of warmth? The comfort of a bed, or a hot meal?

Does she miss it?

Wonder if I should drabble a fic of that after my draft is conplete for Chapter 7 of my main fic.

Because

Imagine how much she'd love the company of her Tarnished, sharing a meal with no danger to ruin the moment. How'd finally feel the love of another person.

Brb crying....

[ratcoon]

Say what you will about Steven Universe but I always get emotional over the scene where cries out for his DAD. Not his mom. He was a little boy calling out for his human dad. Not his alien mom with gem powers. AND HE WAS FOURTEEN.

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

TELL US MORE OF WYNNE AND LYRA (please and thank you)

TELL US MORE OF WYNNE AND LYRA (please and thank you)

I'd be happy too 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I'm going to post what I said in comments regarding their lore!

Wynne Astra was the youngest to a noble family in Leyndell. However because his family's origins date back to the Crucible, there was a chance he'd the Omen curse somewhere down the line. His father tried to seal it away with a ritual performed by Golden Fundamentalists, and it worked. They made their way out, only to be attacked by Omens who managed to escape the sewers. Rollo died in the process and Wynne managed to escape. Wynne stayed on the roads with the armor he left with, staying from village to village until he got ill and died. When Marika called the Tarnished back, Wynne once again traveled back to Limgrave. Once Melina and Wynne make it to the forge, Wynne finally breaks his seal, accepting himself for who and what he truly is. His horns slowly crown his face, and he starts to wield incantations that he was never meant to forget.

Now onto Lyra

Lyra Nikal was also a noble, of a family sorcereres and scholars. Lyra was sent to Raya Lucaria at a young age, and studied with Sellen for her primary years. Later on, she travel to Sellia where she met Radahn and adopted some gravity sorceries from him. As she got older, there was an immense power struggle within her family. The height of it, during the rebellion of the Cukoos, had caused Lyra's immediate family to leave for Leyndell. Lyra stayed in Liurnia, and moved to Sellia after awhile. Her parents summoned for a meeting, offering her a potential suitor for Lunar Princess Ranni. Lyra and Ranni met, and had an affair. There was nothing that Lyra was more committed to then her studies, so she'd never had the time to have a sustainable relationship. As she was ambushed leaving the Carian estate, herself and her parents perished.

Called back by Marika, Lyra made a promise to her family, to restore their house. And to finally let herself be.

(Made a few edits for clarity!)

Heres their stats and stuff!

[ratcoon]

I don’t know what I love more

Authors who depict Melina as slightly awkward but well meaning.

Author who really focus on the kindness aspect of her character and the beauty she finds in life.

Authors who go with the manga portrayal where she’s sick of the tarnished.

or authors who are like “yeah, she played you for her purpose.” (Fixing and elaborating on this below because this is not how I intended to word it).

With the fourth, I don’t mean that I think Melina is manipulative or scheming. I’ve enjoyed fics where they really hone in on how much agency she has to work with and how dedicated she is to her purpose. Not that she would use the tarnished just to get her from point a to point b. Instead, I like when they show what it must be like to depend on another to take you somewhere and trust that they’ll support you in what you have to do, even if they don’t agree. Especially when it’s a work where the author is writing around the frenzied flame. I don’t think she’s manipulative. She’s just determined in giving the world another chance.
