Hey folks on T, here's some skin advice

Testosterone stimulates hair growth and skin oil production, that is a recipe for clogged pores and ingrowns. It can also be itchy as high holy hell. Exfoliating by washing with a loofah, scrub brush, or some other exfoliating cloth a couple times a week in the shower can help clear off those dead skin cells and make it easier for new hairs to pop through without getting buried under your skin. Exfoliating your face with a chemical mask every two weeks can help keep the skin there from getting congested and new hairs from becoming ingrowns.

Washing your face, chest, and shoulders with an active cleanser that has salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in it can help you cut down on acne as well. Your acne will probably not vanish, but will hopefully be less severe and clear up faster (this is coming from someone who had really deep cystic acne as a teen and is seeing a resurgence of this on testosterone). Check the directions for these cleansers, because you may need to leave them on your skin a minute then rinse them off in order to get the full effect. Additionally, if you start getting little bumps on your face/chest/shoulder area that aren't responding to acne treatments, those may be fungal acne. I had this problem several months into starting T, recognized it from my first round of puberty, and slapped some clotrimazole (generic Lotrimin here in the states) on it and the problem cleared up within a few weeks. Also--moisturize after you shower! Slap some lotion on your skin! The dreaded "your skin gets rougher on testosterone" thing may in part be from you needing to exfoliate and moisturize more. Testosterone does impact your skin, but that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do about it but deal with tender zits and itchy legs. You are not a greasy little rat, you're going through Puberty Returns. Be kind to yourself about it.

I love when disassembly drone dysmorphia stuff I don't know what it is about it that makes this scene stand out to me and idk what would count as canon but N checking that he's a disassembly drone still after he wakes up from his worker drone nightmare/memory thing kills me

[EPISODE 2: HEARTBEAT | 1:30]

it can be interpreted either way around but I like the idea that he kinda misses being a worker drone considering it's not like he wanted to be dismembered and put back together as a 'monster' by cyn/solver lmao

From Amazon reviews on Hang Tough.

Pierre, you have friends here on Tumblr dot com. Just know that. Even if this book is too misogynistic to be on your bookshelf, I promise you it's actually worse when we throw all the background context into it.

I salute you for telling the truth and making it through this fucking book without a support group.

I just remembered that one time, my sibling's ex-girlfriend slept over, and she was a self proclaimed "member of the itty bitty titty committee".

And for the life of me, she would not shut the fuck up about my boobs. Literally every time we interacted she was on about how I had such nice boobs and she had small ones.

I lent her some pajamas, and she awed over how the shirt was too big, because despite being shorter than her, my boobs were bigger. She saw me the next morning walking around the house with no bra on under my shirt and gasped in shock, because she thought I wore pushup bras and was surprised to find out my boobs were actually that big.

On the surface, there's nothing wrong with this. She wasn't acting jealous or cruel, she genuinely admired what I had, every comment had this "slayyy girl" attitude, she was being a girl's girl.

The problem is I Am Not A Girl.

Before we met in person, she knew me as her boyfriend's brother. I go by male pronouns. I'd long since changed my name to a masculine name. My hair was short and combed over with a fade.

I do not like people bringing attention to my fuckin tits?? It literally was almost as bad as the time my doctor, very apologetically, told me that my chronic back pain was in part because "you have a large chest for someone your size".

Like, GIRL. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WANT TO BE COMPLIMENTED ON MY TITS? The only reason the fuckers are still on me is because stress balls are expensive but my boobs are free.

I need the person reading this to take care of themselves, please.

the problem in the wilderness is that shauna is a brat, and everyone is forcing and encouraging her to be violent and express her anger. Then they get upset when she’s violent. She needs a brat tamer, and I volunteer

hey. hope this message doesn't bother you. I love you. I love your work. you are one of my favorite fic authors, I am absolutely obsessed with everything you write. reread everything ten times over, drarry or not, fluffy or angsty - even when it absolutely shatters my heart (e.g. for lack of wanting, SUCH a great fic btw i'm so obsessed with it). the four doors? life changing. two to lie and one to listen? engraved into my brain for eternity. what's mine is yours? what a ride holy shit, im VERY normal about it. wrapped? my comfort read. and so it goes.

if I could aggressively smother you with kudos and love I WOULD!!!

awhile ago you said that there's no such thing as "big deals" in fandom and I 100% agree but at the same time you are a big deal TO ME!!! not in the sense of any kind of hierarchy but purely based on the fact that I think you are such a cool person and your writing is amazing and poignant and your presence in fandom makes it so much better. it's been a pleasure following you here on tumblr and just reading your tags and posts.

idk I just think you rule. that's it. thank you for hanging with us. MWAH 💛

ahhhh anon sorry for leaving this message sitting in my inbox for a couple of days but !! i have zero idea how to react to this!! you're so kind!! thank you!! please discard any and all inclinations u have that i am a cool person bc i can assure you i am NOT!!

[blairwitchapologist]

it is really crazy i had such a stressful day at work and i was like wow nothing can possibly make me feel fine today and then i went to yoga + gym and now i feel so loose like a noodle and so happy and sleepy and nice and i want to go back in time and kick my younger self’s ass for being convinced that yoga is only for people in their 30s

If I have to walk my fucking dog again I'm going to attempt

Context: My mom asks me to walk the dog bc my sister and brother don't ever wanna (Which pisses me off bc my brother dropped out of highschool freshman year I think and hasn't picked up a fucking job and just stays home and.. Games all day ig and my sister had gotten a job but right after her first shift decided that she won't work again but WON'T tell them so my coworkers have asked about her and it's fucking humiliating and it's just like AGGG. WHAT THE FUCK DUDE??) Anyways yea

So I walk her every fucking time bc my sister always refuses (My mom doesn't ask my bro a lot bc they kinda have a silent fued going on sooooo.... Yea, she gave up on that but sometimes she'll ask)

Anyways the only reason I do it is so the stupid fucking baby wont shit in the house and like.. Not her fault. It's a fucking animal. But also every single time a fucking moving organism moves around her she goes fucking nuts and it's like STYA THE FUCK AWAY FROM PEOPLE I DON'T WANT THEM TO TALK TO ME I DON'T EVEN WANT TO WALK YOUR DUMB ASS I JUST DO IT BC WHO ELSE WILL??? AND IT'S SO OVERSTIMULATING SO AT HOME I'M JUST FUCKING MISREBLE AND LIKE SUUUUUURE MAYBE I'M A FUCKING HERMIT BUT AT LEAST I ACTUALLY GO TO MY FUCKING JOB AND WOULD ACTUALLY, OH I DUNNO, COMMUNICATE TO THEM IF I HAD A FUCKING ISSUE OR IF I WASN'T READY FOR WORK OR SOME SHIT AND IT'S JUST LIKE-

IT'S BEEN AT LEAST TEN MINUTES AND IT STILL PISSES ME OFF LIKE DUDE??? MY DOG HAS NO REASON TO BE THIS BATSHIT CRAZY ONCE SEEING PEOPLE AND I FEEL LIKE AN ASSHOLE HOLDING HER AWAY FROM THEM BUT LIKE GOD DAMN IT STOP JUMPING AT PEOPLE I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE ME YOU STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLE IT'S NOT EVEN YOUR FAULT YOUR ONLY CRIME IS THAT NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ASS AND IT FUCKING AWFUL BC LIKE.. WHO THE FUCK DO I BLAME? LIKE YEA, I'M MAD AT MY SIS AND BRO BUT ALSO LIKE THEY'RE BASICALLY STRANGERS IN MY LIFE I BARELY FUCKING KNOW THEM SO HOW CAN I BE MAD AT A STRANGER???? Anyways if it's not obv I've been off my medssssss Kinda wanna die guys <3
