Trying to convince my brain that I cannot make another ask blog (it is not working help)

Anyway, a swapverse! Phastasmverse? Is that too hard to spell?

Yeah, I might be making another ask blog, probably on an actually different blog this time

I’ll probably alternate between working on this and Horror Dreamtale between STP

Rambling about precious children ⬇️

Red moon: Jack Chambers;

*Mentions of periods, girl problems, Susan becoming a woman (In some way), small angst, typical period problems, some 50's reference of feminine hygiene. Back in the 50's and possibly 60's, they would call periods a curse or something like that, but in this story, it's seen as it should be: A milestone in every woman's life at some point.*

The entire week Susan had been hungry more than the usual, somewhat grumpy, tired and overall, blah. The excitement and dynamism had left Susan and instead filled her with this shell of azoic within her. The little things of simply accidentally knocking over a bottle of nail polish made Susan become a godzilla like creature. Or seeing a sad clip of a commercial made tears escape her eyes like she had seen a lost dog without a home.

Her normally slight figure had become more of a bulky one (only slightly) and her face broke out in zits, that to her were like boils of a plague. Then in the later of tonight, Susan faced stomach aches that weren't of the type she would usually get if it were a matter of simple borborygmus. Otherwise, flatulence. This was a more intense agonizing, relentless ping of annoyance. It didn't halt even once her dinner was finished. Only when she nervously asked Alice for some tylenol pills due to a 'tiny headache.' Of course, that still racked Alice's suspicions. She always fretted when one of her children was sick or hurt.

Susan fell asleep with a more slackened abdomen, not thinking of any tactics to use for soothing a crabbed pain. The next morning, Susan awoke feeling a bisection of her usual self. But she still tripped herself from her dream, ate breakfast and went to school with her little brother anyway. She decided not to bring up any more pains to her parents as she didn't need to deal with their constant worrying about it. There were more equitable things on her mind. Nothing peaked itself of normalcy in the classroom....well...at least until recess. Susan loved the monkey bars.

She didn't even mind that her sunflower yellow skirt flew above her head to reveal her matching sowed in shorts that served as a thick boarded from the class seeing her peach colored undies.

Alice had sowed them in awhile back; "If you're going to get dirty and play hard, then at least put on shorts under your skirts and dresses dear," Her mother complained, "I don't want those boys looking at something they have no business seeing."

"Oh my god! Susan, what's that on the back of your shorts!?" Peggy Mogland shouted from across the slide. Susan furrowed her eyebrows and adjusted herself upright and ran inside to the bathroom. She was met with a middling sized red spot smack on the back of her skirt that leaked onto her shorts. The bright red patch stared Susan in the eyes as she just looked on in complete horror and amazement.

The milestone her mother promised to celebrate.....Susan's first period. The day she would become a woman. Yes, Susan was finally visited by Aunt Flo.

She ran to the office as fast as she could, ignoring the sound of the bell and told Ms. Sallow, the secretary what had happened. She sent a call in to Susan's parents right away before sending Susan off to the nurse. "Congratulations honey, you have your Aunt Flo." Mrs. Quinn cheered. She handed Susan a sterile towel to wrap around herself while she waited for her parents.

Susan had hoped Alice would show up, showering her with affection and treats while welcoming her into this new world of womanhood that Susan was expected to leap into. She could almost taste the chilling sensation of chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars, fries and milkshakes to her delight. Despite the solid breakfast that was fed to her, Susan still craved a cheeseburger and fries from Freddy's.

But, her hankerings were diminished upon seeing Jack's green chevy bel air pull into the parking lot. It must be some mistake, surely mom's driving? Susan resonated with herself. After all, dad wasn't equipped to handle such a delicate and private matter like this? Jack's brunette heading popped out from the door of the car, stepping out with his black office suit and black loafers. Susan's cheeks popped in rosy tints; glazed in a more strawberry tint with added apricot.

"Susan?" Jack looked to the nurse, "Is everything okay?" Worry was a theme in his entire facial looks. "Oh, she's fine.....she started her period," Those words sent a prickle through Susan's back. It stung her cheeks even more than sour candy, "She just needs plenty of rest and maybe.....some chocolate might help along with a warm heating pad and some midol." Oh sure, talk about me like I'm some science project or freak of nature!

Jack gave a awkward smile, but didn't hesitate to comfort Susan.

"It'll be okay baby, daddy's gonna take you home now." I'm not a baby, mom said I was officially a woman once this thing happened! Susan balked in her head. Jack escorted Susan out of the school and into the backseat of his car. "Mom is at the store right now, but when she gets back, I'll tell her,"

"Thanks dad." Susan shot a light little voice of gratitude. "This must be exciting!" Jack turned the corner of the road, "My little girl...isn't so little anymore, are you Sus?" Susan pinched a tight lipped smile as her answer. "I'll make sure Roger leaves you alone." As if he's the issue right now. But Susan smiled and thanked her father for his efforts in taking care of Susan the best way he knew how. Arriving home, Susan stripped off her skirt and ducked it into the hamper before putting on a nightgown and grabbing a sanitary belt her mother had prepared for her.

Jack had submissively invited himself in to Susan's room. "I made you a heating pad, there's chocolate ice cream in the fridge and snacks in the pantry," Jack came closer, fingers tracing the smooth skin of her forehead, "Is there anything else you need?" Susan smiled weakly before shaking her head. "Okay.." Jack kissed Susan's forehead before leaving her bedroom, "I'm going back to the office. Call me know if you need something okay? Your mom will be back in a bit." Susan smiled and rested her head into her fluffy pillow.

It couldn't have been more than an hour when Susan heard the open and slam of the front door. "Susan!" It was her mother, Alice, stampeded into her bedroom with this look of absolute exhilaration. "There's my baby! My girl has her period!" She clapped, smile still opened wide like Alice as a TV show guest on a game show about to win a million dollars.

But to Alice, she did. Her little girl had entered into this new stage of adolescence. Her womanhood. Alice squeezed Susan into a hug, kissing her face all over in pride. "Oh sweetie....having a period now means that one day you'll be able to have a family." Alice rubbed Susan's cheek with the back of her hand. "Maybe we should go over it again-" "Mom!" Alice petted Susan's hair, "I know...I'm sorry. It's just.....you're not a baby anymore Susan. I mean, you'll always be my little girl but, this is an exciting new stage for you and....I'm just so proud of you and excited for you too!"

Alice wrapped her arms around Susan, talking with her about what to expect from her periods. "If you have any questions, just ask me...OH! did you remember to put on a sanitary belt?!" Susan blushed. "Yes mom," "Show me how you do it-"

"Mom! I mean....I am 11 now." A whine slipped from her chambré aggression. Alice kissed Susan's cheek before leaving her bedroom. "Call me if you need me." Susan stared at the blank pasty ceiling. She just zeroed in on the typical sounds of the hallway; clicks of Alice's heels, the echo of her presence while she folded clothes and put them away in the laundry bin and Susan's own breathing.

It wasn't long until she heard the hollering of her pixy brother. "Guess who aced his test!" "Shh, Roger...your sister's upstairs resting." Alice took Roger aside and explained to him the very sensitive sentiments of Susan's condition. "Roger, remember to be thoughtful. It's like if you had a cold and wanted everyone to be quiet because you were resting....well same thing with Susan. And don't tease her either."

Roger agreed.

Instead, he found it best to ignore Susan until she would come to him whenever she felt it was right. "I'm home!" Jack later cheered from the doorway. "And how's our little pumpkin doing?" Susan groaned, turning away from the door in irritation. "She's resting right now....I think she just wants space. I was like that when I first started my period." Alice grew in pride, head fluttering her young aged self into a mirror of Susan.

Jack carefully tiptoed into Susan's bedroom, sneaking a glance of his sleeping beauty. "Hey kitten," Jack seated himself next to Susan, "How are you feeling?" Jack had left prematurely, making sure Susan was comfortable before taking off for work again. "A little gross, but overall, fine." Jack kissed Susan's forehead. "Let me or mom know if there's anything you need." Jack petted Susan's head before leaving back to the kitchen.

It was later on that night, Susan snacked on chocolate ice cream and a cheeseburger with fries that were put in the fridge just for her and to wash it down with a glass of iced tea. Susan heated up her dinner before sneaking back up to her bedroom. Stuffing her face into insalubrious delicious meal. Susan had skipped out on dinner with her family; laying serenely wrapped in her yellow blanket, nursing the heating pad on her tummy. Alice made sparsely invites into her bedroom, sharing stories of her first period, rubbing Susan's legs, thumbing over Susan's warm cheeks.

But this was Susan's little oasis. Her bedroom where she could enjoy her little meal and be free from the motherly involvement of Alice. Susan munched away with her cheeseburger and fries, savoring the moment of her first period.

Sorry if the ending is a little cheesy :)))))

Castaway Island AU (Collaborative AU)

Basically. The whole idea is that the Hosts are stranded on an huge Island with all (well. Most of) their powers gone and now will have to work together to try and survive until help arrives.

…but till then. There’s a lot of surprises on this island then what the Hosts expected :]

Fun fact!

A giant isopod is any of the almost 20 species of large isopods in the genus Bathynomus. They are abundant in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.[1][2] Bathynomus giganteus, the species upon which the generitype is based, is often considered the largest isopod in the world, though other comparably poorly known species of Bathynomus may reach a similar size (e.g., B. Kensleyi).[1] The giant isopods are noted for their resemblance to the much smaller common woodlouse (pill bug), to which they are related.[3]

French zoologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards was the first[4] to describe the genus in 1879[5] after his colleague Alexander Agassiz collected a juvenile male B. giganteus from the Gulf of Mexico. This was an exciting discovery for both scientists and the public, as at the time the idea of a lifeless or "azoic" deep ocean had only recently been refuted by the work of Sir Charles Wyville Thomson and others.[citation needed] No females were recovered until 1891.

Giant isopods are of little interest to most commercial fisheries, but are infamous for attacking and destroying fish caught in trawls.[6] Specimens caught in the Americas and Japan are sometimes seen in public aquariums.[3]

Giant isopods are a good example of deep-sea gigantism (cf. giant squid), as they are far larger than the "typical" isopods that are up to 5 cm (2.0 in). Bathynomus can be divided into "giant" species where the adults generally are between 8 and 15 cm (3.1 and 5.9 in) long and "supergiant" species where the adults are typically between 17 and 50 cm (6.7 and 19.7 in).[1][7] One of the "supergiants", B. giganteus, reaches a typical length between 19 and 36 cm (7.5 and 14.2 in);[4] an individual claimed to be 76 cm (30 in) long has been reported by the popular press, but the largest confirmed was c. 50 cm (20 in).[7]

Their morphology resembles that of their terrestrial relative, the woodlouse. Their bodies are dorsoventrally compressed, protected by a rigid, calcareous exoskeleton composed of overlapping segments. Like some woodlice, they can curl up into a "ball", where only the tough shell is exposed. This protects from predators trying to strike at the more vulnerable underside. The first shell segment is fused to the head; the most posterior segments are often fused, as well, forming a "caudal shield" over the shortened abdomen (pleon).[4]

The large eyes are compound with nearly 4,000 facets, sessile, and spaced far apart on the head.[8] They have two pairs of antennae. The uniramous thoracic legs or pereiopods are arranged in seven pairs, the first of which is modified into maxillipeds to manipulate and bring food to the four sets of jaws. The abdomen has five segments called pleonites, each with a pair of biramous pleopods. These are modified into swimming legs and rami, flat respiratory structures acting as gills. The isopods are a pale lilac or pinkish.[1][2]

The individual species generally resemble each other but can be separated by various morphological features, notably the number (7–13) and shape (straight or upturned) of the spines on the pleotelson ("tail"), shape (simple or bifid) of the central spine on the pleotelson, and the shape and structure of the uropods and pereopods.[1][9]

Giant isopods have been recorded in the West Atlantic from the US state of Georgia to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.[1] The four known Atlantic species are B. obtusus, B. miyarei, B. maxeyorum, and B. giganteus, and the last of these is the only species recorded off the United States.[1][10] The remaining Bathynomus species are all restricted to the Indo-Pacific.[1]

No species occur in both the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific. Previous records of B. giganteus from the Indo-Pacific are now considered misidentifications of other species.[1] Giant isopods are unknown from the East Atlantic or East Pacific.[1] The greatest species richness (five species) is found off eastern Australia, but it is possible other regions that are not as well-sampled match this figure.[1] In general, the distributions of giant isopods are imperfectly known, and undescribed species may exist.[1]

Giant isopods are important scavengers in the deep-sea benthic environment. They are mainly found from the gloomy sublittoral zone at a depth of 170 m (560 ft) to the pitch darkness of the bathyal zone at 2,140 m (7,020 ft), where pressures are high and temperatures are very low.[11] A few species from this genus have been reported from shallower depths, notably B. miyarei between 22 and 280 m (72 and 919 ft),[12] the poorly known B. decemspinosus between 70 and 80 m (230 and 260 ft), and B. doederleini as shallow as 100 m (330 ft).[1]

The depth record for any giant isopod is 2,500 m (8,200 ft) for B. kensleyi, but this species also occurs as shallow as 300 m (980 ft).[1] Over 80% of B. giganteus are found at a depth between 365 and 730 m (1,198 and 2,395 ft).[13] In regions with both "giant" and "supergiant" species, the former mainly live on the continental slope, while the latter mainly live on the bathyal plain.[1] Although Bathynomus have been recorded in water as warm as 20 °C (68 °F), they are primarily found in much colder places.[14] For example, during a survey of the deep-sea fauna of Exuma Sound in the Bahamas, B. giganteus was found to be common in water between 3.25 and 13 °C (37.8 and 55.4 °F), but more abundant towards the lower temperature.[15]

In contrast, preliminary studies indicate that B. doederleinii stops feeding when the temperature falls below 3 °C (37 °F).[16][17] This lower temperature limit may explain their absence from temperate and frigid regions where seas at the depth preferred by Bathynomus often are colder.[16][17] They are thought to prefer a muddy or clay substrate and lead solitary lives.

Although generalist scavengers, these isopods are mostly carnivorous and feed on dead whales, fish, and squid. They may also prey on slow-moving animals such as sea cucumbers, sponges, radiolarians, nematodes, and other zoobenthos, and perhaps even live fish. They are known to attack trawl catches. One giant isopod was filmed attacking a larger dogfish shark in a deepwater trap by latching onto and eating the its face.[18]

As food is scarce in the deep-ocean biome, giant isopods must take advantage of whatever food they have available. They are adapted to long periods of famine and have been known to survive over 5 years without food in captivity.[19][20] When a significant source of food is encountered, giant isopods gorge themselves to the point that they could barely move. A study examining the digestive system contents of 1651 specimens of B. giganteus found that fish were most commonly eaten, followed by cephalopods and decapods, particularly carideans and galatheids.[4]

Giant isopods collected along the east coast of Australia by setting traps exhibit a variation in diversity with water depth. The deeper the water, the fewer number of species found, and the larger the species tended to be. The giant isopods found in very deep waters off Australia were compared to those found off Mexico and India. From the fossil record, Bathynomus is thought to have existed more than 160 million years ago, so it did not evolve independently in all three locations, but since then Bathynomus likely would show divergent evolution in the various locations. However, the giant isopods in all three locations are almost identical in appearance[21] (although some differences are seen, and they are separate species).[1] This reduced phenotypic divergence is linked to the extremely low light levels of their habitat.[21]

A study of the seasonal abundance of B. giganteus juveniles and adults suggests a peak in reproductive capacity in the spring and winter. This is observed to be due to a shortage of food during the summer. Mature females develop a brood pouch or marsupium when sexually active, the pouch being formed by overlapping oostegites or brood plates grown from the medial border of the pereiopods. The young isopods emerge from the marsupium as miniatures of the adults, known as mancae. This is not a larval stage; the mancae are fully developed, lacking only the last pair of pereiopods.

There have been occasional attempts at utilizing giant isopods as novelty food, such as prepared in East Asian cuisine like ramen. Relative to total size, there is not very much "meat" to be harvested. The meat is sometimes described as resembling lobster and/or crab in taste, with a somewhat firmer, chewier texture.[22]

Fossilized specimens of Bathynomus are known extending back to at least the Early Oligocene (Rupelian) of Italy, with other fossils being known from Japan and Spain.[23]
