Happy Birthday Jen!!🥳🎊
This is inspired by @sabraeal "All Pain Turns to Medicine" fic, I've been wanting to draw an apothecary with Shirayuki for years! And this happy occasion gave me the best excuse🥰
It was really fun to draw this, thanks to Jen for being such a great and welcoming obiyuki fellow enthusiast! Hope you have an awesome day!!🥳🥳

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.
the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.
for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.
the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.
but they were never whole to begin with, were they?
qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.
olly says nothing.

Hey y’all! I’ve been making soap!
It’s really simple too. I just use sea water, olive oil, and lye, making it incredibly gentle for sensitive skin. It’s been cool. I’ve even found a way to use herbs too which I loveeee. It’s weird but it feels so nice to make something both practical and pretty at the same time. And my bathroom smells amazing…. I’ve def made too much soap but no one can get mad at me because everything smells so good. They’ll make nice Christmas gifts so at least I don’t have to worry about that !!!!!
I'd love to hear about any skin conditions you guys may have! I’m still new at this and want to continue practicing. I would love ideas !!
Pure Castile soap is gentle enough to use on babies, burn victims, cancer patients, animals, ect. Since I’m surrounded by pregnant ladies I thought it would be a good offering but.. soap and herbs can help a multitude of issues so! Reply away and give me stuff to research~~~*~* yes?

perhaps controversial but not everything is about character growth. some narratives are about character maintenance. how to not betray yourself even if it is the choice that is easy or “right” or the one someone else wants you to make. maybe not getting better, but it’s not always about getting better. sometimes it’s just about not getting worse.

Signs I Might Be More Trans Than I Thought
Look, it took 4 years and putting off the gender question entirely for me to come to the unceremonious conclusion that my sexuality is bisexual and ace spectrum, and I’m finally coming around to dealing with the gender part.
I don’t know how y’all figure out gender, but I present my growing list of things beyond just the short haircut and neutral pronouns that have made me stop and say “wait... am I still more trans than I thought I was??”
- realizing how uncomfortably focused on my breast development I was during puberty
- especially not relating to the “I must increase my bust” chant in Are You There God It’s Me Margaret and fixating on the American Girl Body Book’s pictures of the stages of breast development
- also one of those things that still has me going “am I still gayer than I thought??”
- always wearing my hair in ponytails when it was long
- doing speech and debate for the suits
- I was doing all the boys’ ties and could recognize men’s suit cuts by sight
- fuck if I knew anything about my own suit or women’s fashion though
- only having guy friends (leads to a very lonely puberty without a lot of friends if your parents think you wanna go make out instead of have a play date... which mine always did)
- jealousy of my baby sister getting to wear boys clothes and not being pressured to wear girls clothes for formal events (she was always mistaken for a boy as a child but she’s happily cis now!)
- also helps me realize it IS a phase and that's OKAY its OKAY for things to be phases and to change your mind but dang my mind is in one direction
- but i digress
- my whole fashion sense was hoodies, and it’s still oversized shirts
- i’m so glad i didn’t develop breasts and am still uncomfortable with how much EVERYONE ELSE cares about my flat chest. what if i don’t want my tits to show through my top??
- oh realizing now that feeling when I wore padded bras or when you could see my nipples through my top as a kid is dysphoria ok
- BIG pregnancy phobia
- BAND UNIFORMS
- I feel comforted by the fact that most people don’t know what their actual chromosomal makeup is unless they get specifically tested - big love for intersex fam <3
- did my whole 6th grade project on amphibians (the gays love frogs)
- did destiel make me trans?
- realizing that if i’m a guy i can still be a fruity and feminine one and that feels ok and not like failing masculinity
- i already feel like i’ve failed femininity... ooh yeah i used to get real aggro when anyone would call me a “lady” or “ladylike”
- i think there are definitely feminine terms I’m ok with but understanding that doesn’t make me less masc?
- not falling for terf rhetoric and not being afraid of masculinity. I’ve been down the “men are trash”route... and I’m older I know better that they don’t have to be
- dating a man that I finally realized I do want to BE instead of date... only took 3 years
- living with a man that lets me hold his dick when he pees sometimes
