[Feferi failed her anti-Condesce and anti-Scratch filters.]I'm tired. Not even physically, just really emoceanally drained. It's been a rough...I don't even remember how long I've been here anemonemore. But the seas are so rough and I feel like flotsam and jetsam just floating out there

I sew to remove my mind from an unpleasant situation. But you were already aware of that.

Would you like a new dress?

[dreambubbly]

Right, I was.

Hm. I have something for you, so maybe I can drop it off and then we can go fabric shopping?

[chastesaw]

Of course, Feferi.

...you have something for me?

[dreambubbly]

There was this display of fashion magazines in one of the stores I passed by on the way from the schoolhive the other day. I saw it and thought you might like a copy, so I grabbed it along with my own.

[noluckduck]

... So are the fish puns a copin' mechanism or somethin'?

[CLOVER, THIS IS NOT THE TIME...]

[dreambubbly]

No. They're just a fin.

[noluckduck]

... Ya sure? It doesn't sound like you're in a proper mood to make puns all the time.

By the way, they're pretty awful.

[dreambubbly]

It doesn't take a genius to glub up puns. It just takes a little creativity! You have to do somefin to balance out this plaice.

...and they aren't awful.

Enjoy the moments you have between the panic. That's all I can really say. Happiness is more precious when you don't know when it'll be taken away.

[dreambubbly]

Mm. I guess that reely is the only way...

[discipleo]

Making the most of things is the best advice I can give! So you make the most okay?

[crusthatecean]

You just do? Don't think about it.

[Guess who has healthy coping mechanisms? Not this guy!]

[dreambubbly]

The more I try not to think about it, the more I glubbing think about it.

[crusthatecean]

So stop. Look at me, I'm not thinking about it, and I'm fine. Is it really that hard to just do something else?

[dreambubbly]

It's not the 'doing something else' part. It's the 'stuff keeps swimming into my thinkpan while I am doing things that are meant to distract me from it' part.

[splashpuppy]

When stuff gets bad, you gotta hang onto the people who are the most important and just stick with them until everything's okay again.

When it gets quieter, I like to sit by the pond in the park.

[dreambubbly]

I'm doing the first one, but the reminders help. A lot.

...I love the pond. A lot!

[splashpuppy]

Being near water always makes me feel better.

[dreambubbly]

Me, too. I just wish there was a proper ocean here. The sound of the waves is really soothing.
