The average 6th grader knows more about periods than Ronnie Boy will EVER know !

Menstruating is hard enough without cis-men judging us, acting like we're clean or impure because of it. Normalize menstral cycles.

I'm high school my boyfriend was holding my purse and I let him be nosey (he was legit just being curious and I didn't care). And the moment he saw my pad (unused single use pad) he got so grossed out he refused to even touch my purse after that. Like wtf. It's no different than me keeping bandaids in my purse (which I also did because I'm extraordinarily clumsy).

Anyways. This dude's content is amazing. Normalizing menstruation.

Hey, I don't have a car available and the bus systems are fucking WACK in my state (they are only available at 8:30 in the morning and no other times when I need to be at work at 1 pm) so PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING ME OUT!!

Wanna know something about the woman’s reproductive system? Oh, you don’t? TOO BAD I’M TELLING YOU ANYWAY 🗣️

So you know when you get those really, really, really, really bad cramps? The ones that last like 2-3 minutes? The ones where you gotta lay down or just wallow in your own discomfort and suffering? The ones where you just gotta stay quiet and stare at the ceiling? The ones where you be hyperventilating and sweating and feeling like you’re about to pass out from the pain? Yeah, those.

So, apparently, when that happens, your cervix dilates to one centimeter. And you gotta be dilated to ten to push a baby out.

If that ONE cramp is what it feels like to be dilated to ONE centimeter, ten centimeters is just gonna flat take me out. IT’S GONNA KILLL ME 😭

And then contractions, right? It probably feels like a cramp, not that bad? I AIN’T KNOW IT’S GONNA FEEL LIKE THAT ONE PERIOD CRAMP. AND THEN THEY GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TOGETHER??

LAWD. HATH. MERCY.

I’d have to go through that?? For HOURS? ALL WHILE I’M CRAMPING?!

Not to mention the ring of fire.

Adoption papers looking real good rn.

My period literally started today and it was the fucking WORST, everytime i get my period the first day is always awful bro i legit start throwing up and screaming that i’m legit starting to consider going to a doctor to see why this is happening or go on birth control to pipe ts down bc I was literally in the bathtub today screaming and passing out

[draingod]

There is no winning

Tbh… you should totally drop your adrian shephard headcanons pls……..

OWCH OW OW OFYCK FUCK FUCK CRAMPS OCUH OC WO OWWWW

- filipino. hehehHAHAHAHAHA 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

- He doesn’t know how to speak tagalog. Just picked up some words and phrases that his parents said.

- Agender. Lmfao. Aro bisexual

- I’ve been kinda thinking abt what his typology would be. Whats there to even type LMFAOO. But ermm. I’ve been thinking sp7, sx6, 8fix, 3fix. He’d def be like a 3V tbh.

- His spore launcher grew up. YAYY!!! Spore launcher, erm, shock trooper, acts like an angsty teen now.

- Adrian: ya man so like. I would be carrying this baby alien around with me and he SPITS OUT FUCKING uh FRUIT GRENADES AND SHIT like thats fucking sick man wish I can spit out fruit grenades Shock trooper: ddaaaaaad, ur embarassing me.. 😡😡😡

- But they’re both happy they were able to reunite <:3 HEHEHEHEHE

- Adrian was in stasis all like “that mf BETTER NOT BE DEAD.. THAT WAS MY SSON…..”

FUCK OW OW OWWW

- i hate his cannon (ish?) personality. Tf u mean “adventure”?? Acting like ur going to a field trip and shit. Omfg.

- That being said. He does try to look for opportunities of “adventure”. Type of guy to purposely get himself lost. Like he’d be walking home and go “damn bruh what if I just went a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT route than I usually do”. Chris McCandless ass 😭😭

- I feel like he’s the younger sibling 💀💀LIKE THE TYPE WHO ACTS MORE CHILLER AND I GUESS MORE MATURERER THAN THE OLDER ONE. Mitchell tries so hard to be like a role model for him but adrians jus chilling

OW

- (This is after like stasis. So like, hl2) hates being in the dark (literally). Hates being alone too. He’s not like super duper social or anything but he tries to surround himself with people or at least someone to keep him company.

- Touch starved, lmfao.

- Foams at the mouth at the sight of grass and light /j

- He gets overwhelmed (physically) easily. Light gives him a headache. He notices sounds more.

- Adrian’s upset that his home is kinda, gone. And he feels rlly homesick and there’s nothing he could do 😭😭😭 bro came back from 20 years of the void and he finds out that everything has completely changed.

- Cuz like. In his years of stasis he was fantasizing about being back at Earth and what he would do again, then he comes back and ITS TERRIBLEEE 😭😭😭

- Hungry. Appreciates his meals alot more than he did before. I mean who wouldn’t, look at WHAT EARTH IS IN HL 2. THE COMBINE FOOD IS NASSSSTTYY AND SOME PEOPLE BE JOINING CIVIL PROTECTION FOR IT.

- this isnt an adrian shephard hc. But like i like to think rebel bases has like those filipino tricycles, the ones with a motercycle attached to like a cab. Yk? Alyx rides on them a few times. Hc she’s also (partially) filipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭

- he used to be kind of a germaphobe. Bro washed his hands two-three times for more than 20 seconds each. Like he’d wash his hands and go “damn wait a minute what if I didn’t wash it enough. One more time just in case.” He carried hand sanitizer with him everywhere. Washed his face and doused himself in lysol disinfectant spray whenever he came into contact with something that “just felt dirty”. Wiped down his belongings after someone borrowed it. Tried not to open doorknobs directly with his hands as much as possible. Used to be hesitant on petting stray animals. He grew out of it, eventually. Lol. Such a 1F (ME TOO ME TOO ME TOO)

- I mean he’s an animal person tho. That’s just a collective agreement at this point. That mf liked animals. He likes otters. The spore launcher reminded him of an otter.

- Hated being seen as weak or pathetic. Tries to make himself important. Hates people seeing him emotional. Tries to act calm and collected and shit. He doesn’t know what he’s doing most of the time.

- Likes journaling. I do too. He glues scraps and other stuff on a page when he didn’t feel like writing.

- Feels like he failed something. Like he could’ve reached his fullest potential but didn’t. Erm. Wasn’t able to at least.

- gman bullies him cuz he thinks it’s fucking funny as hell. Like, just do things that would inconvenience Adrian slightly (not rlly slightly). Like gman moves furniture precisely where Adrian would hit his elbow really hard, flinch and turn around really fast, then hits his head on another piece of furniture, then he falls over and hit his back on the edge of a chair.

- Gman would abruptly teleport next to adrian, trip him over, then immediately disappear right before Adrian could get up.

- Yk. Stuff like that.

- Adrian’s lowkey scared of gman. I mean shit I would be too if I was him. He’s scared that gmans gonna come in and ruin everything for him. Gordon is too, I could go into detail and my gordon hcs I literally have notes for it. anyways.

- He dyed his hair blonde

Theres more buuut WHATEVER. Some of these dont even rlly have an apparent reason I jus be like “ya this got to be adrain shephard” and believe its true

Part 2 if someone asks this question again FILIPINO EDITION🇵🇭🇵🇭😇😇/j

[wild-at-mind]

(this is about trans stuff)

Probably need to get counselling about the fact that I’m so scared that my hormone balance is my personality.

[yn-addams]

I know that period cramps can hurt your back but

PERIOD CRAMPS CAN HURT YOUR BACK?! THE HELL 😭😭😭. I’m in so much pain, I have knee problems and I use a cane (house who?) and that’s usually like a 6/10 on a pain scale and my cramps are like a 7 im dying 😭.

[thescorpionmonarch]

Nothing like ovulating or starting your cycle on an eclipse day.
