maglor sees his brothers lot.
in the winds, in the sand, everywhere.
in the shadows, in the moonlight that shines on the water surface.
---- ---- ---- ----
they talk to him, too.
with laughter and running around, not leaving any trace on the shores.
with rolling their eyes and nudging into different directions, because, káno, you can do better
he sees his brothers corpses in their gaunt, empty eyes.
they whisper to him but it is mostly just noise in his head, loud, like their screams.
---- ---- ---- ----
by the time they smile with their bloodied teeth and cold hands, maglor doesn't want to see them.

Middle- and upper-class families were using contraception from the 1920s to control the size of their families but fear of working-class women's sexuality meant that it would not be until 1930 that the Ministry of Health allowed publicly funded nurses and doctors to give contraceptive advice to poor married women and then only on medical grounds.

Men keep getting mad at me on dating sites since they don't "know" how to plan a date (they know, they just want to not try.... feminine energy and a sign that I would be taking the reigns the whole relationship from a non-intelligent, lazy man)
like this man really said "I don't know how to find good date spots in our area" several times.....
Damn, it's almost as if he could type that into ChatGPT or Google and get the results he wants. D'oy!
It's just embarrassing for them at that point; some of them can even be GIVEN websites and choose not to try. My ex, L, was like that.
And as you can imagine, they are choosing to do so. They don't even see me as worth lifting their pretty little unmanicured dainty coder hands to type for 5 seconds, what makes me want them?
And then they pitch a bitch in the spam folder of my Google Voice number when I say "Actually I require more effort from a man for the first date, it's how I am shown interest, and I don't think we are compatible in this aspect. A shame, I really liked you. Have a great day!"

Pre-Pregnancy Counseling: A Stepping Stone to Parenthood
Do you have a baby bump? Yes! Then, before you jump in the air with joy, you should take a look at pregnancy counseling, because expecting a baby requires a lot of acceptance and awareness, and that makes it a stepping stone to parenthood, a path of responsibility and mindfulness.
Pre-pregnancy counseling is a motto that pre-empts the certain risk factors pertaining a women’s, the fetus and neonatal health from entering an unfavorable phase. The one-to-one interaction with the professional can be a great aide in optimizing the health care of mother and child, which also extends to the family ties, as their care is invested from the first days.
Education about the pregnancy journey in pre-pregnancy course is open to all genders, sexualities and parents, as they offer a holistic approach to better parenting. Regardless of whether you are planning a pregnancy or using contraception, the pre-pregnancy counseling is applicable to both parties.
As the saying goes, health status can't be the same forever, over growing time potential risks can occur anytime. Thus, pre-pregnancy counseling does not last for a day, but it occurs several times for ensuring a healthy and happy baby journey!
Day in and out whenever an expectant mother gets counselled, fresh knowledge is added to her advantage for handling the situation. There is a certainty of several chronic conditions viz; diabetes, hypertension, thyroid and mental health require monitoring during pre-pregnancy for a desirable outcome.
In the pre-pregnancy counseling sessions, a crucial assessment for examining STDs is a must with a vivid screening for any probable genetic conditions that might pass down to the life growing inside.
The other important matter of concern here is to debrief on possible strong addictions namely, liquor, nicotine consumption, drugs or any other medicines taken for some underlining or nonmedical reasons.
There is also a significant survey conducted on partner violence during intimacy during prepregnancy counseling as it has entirely a direct impact on the mother and child both.
The expert guidance - Suggestions from the desk of the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists
The ACOG institute emphasizes the opportunity to stroke the iron hard and discuss overall wellness, and healthy habits as a routine irrespective of the patient for a successful outcome.
“Would you like to become pregnant next year?” Serves the purpose, of the right to speak out one's heart for suitable guidance without coyness.
The goal of prepregnancy counseling is to ensure a pregnancy that is away from the instructions and if any challenges occur one has the tact to handle it with expert guidance.
An annual influenza inoculation is mandatory for every patient unbiased as it is for additional benefit.
Prepregnancy is not limited to basic health checkups and discussions a patient's lifestyle and underlining conditions are crucial to tap on! If discovered to be a specific virus prone or any infection or allergies due to climate/ certain food types must be cautioned beforehand as travelling is a massive no.
Appropriate nourishment and vitamins are so significant for a healthy pregnancy tenure. Always fall back on your medical adviser for the proportion of food intake that suits your body the best during the prepregnancy period.

If there is one thing that fills me with unfathomable hatred, it's family members invading my privacy and trying to run my life for me
No, my sweet dear aunt, contrary to what you believe, I don't care for what you think I should be. I will be what I always wanted.
For anyone reading: don't let anyone dictate how you will plan your future.
Accept suggestions, not pressure.

thinkin' abt... Rae and Jack, actually
this song came on and I associate Doomguy (and all of those other dudes like Duke Nukem) with Jack and Isabelle with Rae so...
they're two extremely different people, really. I think Jack would scare the crap out of Rae at first- in his mind, they look like a human version of his uncle-dad (Red). They even talk pretty similarly; they have deep, gruff voices and tend to shorten their words and speak casually. So Rae, ever desperate to not disappoint authority figures, would be bending over backwards to make them happy. which ... wouldn't work because Jack isn't comfortable with this complete stranger trying to impress him.
actually. Jack would remind him of Red. a lot. more than the voice and appearance. they have a similar dumb sense of humor, that Big Brother Vibe, and generally don't tolerate BS. I think, once Jack realizes that he's just trying to stay on their good side, those Big Bro instincts would kick in and they'd be much less weirded out by it. Rae is Immediately adopted into the Younger Sibling Club whether he likes it or not. And if anybody makes him nervous, Jack will Beat Them Up For Him until Rae tells him he doesn't want him to do that. And then he'll only THREATEN to beat them up.
