!! QUICK PSA FOR TESTOSTERONE TAKERS !!

warning this is a bit gross so i'll put the photos under the cut but i think it's important because nobody told me about this before i started T

if you're taking testogel/any other T that you put on your skin, please for the love of god moisturise the skin you put it on

gel REALLY dries out your skin and as someone with dry skin anyway it caused my skin to flake and scab and break out more which has left a lot of scarring on my back/chest/shoulders

(yes, T causes acne anyway, but for me personally my skin didn't get that much worse after i started and it's improved since i've been moisturising more so that was the problem for me)

obviously there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having acne or acne scarring or anything like that (it just makes me a bit insecure and means i have to put off getting tattoos there until it gets better), i just wish i'd started taking care of it earlier

also i would Never want to scare anyone off HRT if they want it because it's been a wonderful magical thing for me but there are some uncomfortable aspects of it and this is just one that i didn't know about

local thing with one hundred tiny open wounds on its body takes a shower, is shocked when it experiences The Stinging

[simonstamenovic]

scab is doing that thing where its concave and its on my hand so itll definitely give that kind of pain where the whole body tense and we have to writhe for a second

stupid gay ass acne scars making me cover even more spots with makeup than i usually have to cover -_-

as a skin picker, i gotta say, seeing the big flakes of skin peeling up on my tattoo is temping me to pick at it more than the itchy feeling is tempting me to itch it 🥲

day 6 healing pictures under the cut, we entering the peeling phase now

it looks so fucked today lmao

top picture is after i washed & moisturized, bottom picture is from when i first woke up and it was a lot drier

remaking my crazyb stim post bc i have new stuff to add

rinne fidgets with his abundance of bracelets and rings. he likes tugging on them, spinning them, all the good stuff. probably has a bunch of different rings that have different textures. loves the spinny rings

niki keeps like 3 different pieces of chewlery or other things he can put in his mouth to chew on when he cant eat and needs to focus. rinne got him a chewelry version of his unit necklace for his birthday

kohaku likes pen clicking and probably got a fidget cube at some point. if he doesnt have his cube or a pen he will play with his fingers (tapping, tugging, stretching, etc). also a skin picker

himeru is a leg bouncer and is super self conscious about it and tries to channel his energy elsewhere. it often fails very badly. sometimes wears different shoes to crazyb practice that make satisfying tapping noises (shoes that wont scuff or be hard to dance in but still make a pretty little tap sound. kohaku has been begging him to tell him where he got them so he can get a pair)

All my mutuals were doing this manga coloring stuff so I decided I would too

i know i should probably still be touching my two week old tattoo as little as possible, but the lines are slightly raised and they feel SO COOOOOOL

devastating: the people on twitter who said elijah wood is a toenail bitter were not actually lying. that man admitted to biting his toenails on the ellen show in january 2004. why did he do it? why did he admit to it? i do not know.

‘I have gorgeous clear skin’ oh so you’re a pimple pauper?

Who up picking at and chewing on their nail beds tonight??

In the interest of not romanticizing adhd meds, cuz like they don’t work for everyone and, even when they do, they often have side effects, I have noticed one of my more uncomfortable motor tics has gotten a lot worse, and I’m waaaay broken out
