CW : SLIGHT BLOOD

==================================

I headcanon that since Peso is pretty much any kind of doctor, he's a surgeon too (he was probably just working on Kwazii smh)

[littlestpersimmon]

Hello everyone. I'm absolutely terrified to open up about this, but I am having surgery on my thyroid to remove a goiter that has become very large / given me problems eating and breathing in general. My ocd is going crazy and catastrophizing;, I have been neglecting my health for five years until I experienced some symptoms that terrified me. My dr. Advised me that I will need two types of surgeons, one an ENT and one a thoracic surgeon. I am going to make a formal fundraiser very soon, but I was informed by my Dr. That the overall cost of this surgery (plus recovery) will be around 700,000 pesos- almost 13,000 usd. That is. My wages of three whole years. I am from the global south, in the philippines, and my wages are far smaller compared to my peers in the global north. My insurance is trying to cover around 40,000-80,000 pesos, I am unsure yet. Right now, I am unable to work all three of my jobs because I needed to do a ton of tests and resting, my new meds making me extremely drowsy as I was also diagnosed with type II diabetes and hypertension (?). I still am the only person in my family who can work- my mother is completely unable to move independently due to nerve damage from sepsis, she is legally blind and a full time wheelchair user. my father is very very immunocompromised due to heart disease and kidney failure, and my younger sister is autistic, with a low frustration threshold. Since Early April, I have had no income as I was in and out of the hospital; thanks to everyone's generous donations for my teeth that I am now allocating for this surgery instead, insurance, and my lovely friend Mango's large donation, I have been able to eat well, and cover about 12%-15% of my upcoming surgery's fund. Am trying to build up more breathing room for my gofundme, as it is common practice for philippine hospitals to prevent patients from leaving without having paid in full. I am humbly begging for everyone to please help me, Because I have not been working and will be unable to work for a couple of weeks. this is the most terrifying thing I have ever gone through, and I have been ignoring it for the past 5 years ♡ if you are blessed with disposable income and a generous heart, please send it my way! It means the whole world to me.

You can pick up a print from my inprnt here:

You can directly send a donation here:

*400+ exclusive drawings* on my patreon for only a dollar a month!

Please say it's going to ok! I cannot do this alone.

Please help me with my upper jaw reconstruction

I lost so much of the bone in my upper jaw that I can't even wear dentures now without reconstructive surgery. (It's been nearly 1 1/2 years now with no upper teeth--including not being able to wear dentures.)

We go in next week to discuss the next stage of my upper jaw reconstruction (involving titanium plates, something called a sinus lift, and other fun stuff) now that the initial scans are complete, and even though my surgeon is donating his labor, he estimates the surgery and recovery are going to cost at least two or three thousand dollars (100K to 150K pesos) for materials, hospital fees, other surgical personnel, etc.--maybe more. Much cheaper than it would be in the US, but still quite a bit considering we're still deep in debt from El's birth certificate fiasco despite all the help y'all gave us with that. (And thank you so much for that!)

So hey, if you can help me get a complete upper jaw again (and teeth to go in it for the first time in well over a year) without us having to go even DEEPER in debt, that'd rock! Thank you!

[shr00mie-rat]

Does anyone know a plastic surgeon that can make me look like this?

I can pay them 100 mx pesos and a free furry commission

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES The Patron of Barbers (and Hairstylists), Race Relations and Social Justice Feast Day: November 3

"Do not complain, that shows discontent with the will of God in the present moment. That is also proof of impatience."

Martin de Porres was born in Lima, Peru, on December 9, 1579 to Don Juan de Porras y de la Peña, a Spanish nobleman and adventurer, and Ana Velázquez, a freed daughter of slaves from Panama. His father abandoned the family when Martin and his sister, Juana, were very young. Ana Velázquez supported her children by taking in laundry.

Martin's childhood poverty did not embitter him but made him sensitive to the plight of the poor, and especially the orphans to whom he would devote much of his time and resources. Even as a child, Martin would give the family's scarce resources to the beggars whom he saw as less fortunate than himself.

When Martin turned eight, his father had a change of heart and decided to claim his two children (publicly identified as mulatto, a term used for mixed-race children) in spite of the gossip to which it subjected him. He made sure that both were afforded a good education and had enough money for the family not to suffer hardship. At the age of twelve, Martin began an apprenticeship with a barber/surgeon named Marcel de Rivero. He proved extremely skilful at this trade and soon customers, who at first were sceptical of the young coloured boy, came to prefer and ask for him.

After leaving home, Martin took a room in the house of Ventura de Luna. Always a devoted Catholic who spent much time in church, Martin begged his landlady for some candle stubs. She was curious about his activities and one night spied on him through a keyhole and witnessed Martin in a vigil of ecstatic prayer — a practice he would continue throughout his life.

Martin often challenged his brothers on their racial attitudes. In one story, Martin came upon a group of Indians sweeping the floor under the watchful eye of one of the Dominican brothers. When told that they were cleaning to repay a meal they had received, Martin pointed out that the brother had fed some white people the previous day without forcing them to clean. After Martin's firm but gentle challenge, the brother took up the broom himself.

Martin frequently insisted on performing such hard and menial tasks as caring for the Order's horses in the evenings, even when informed that servants were available for these chores. He would argue that the servants were tired from their day's work while he, Martin, had done very little. He also extended his healing gifts — going to the servants' quarters and treating their ailments.

Martin's spiritual practices were legendary. He would often fast for extensive periods of time on bread and water. He loved all-night vigils, frequently praying by lying down as if crucified, sometimes kneeling but, miraculously, a foot or more off the floor. Equally legendary was his love of animals. He would feed and heal all animals that came into his vicinity and they understood and obeyed him.

Martin is often portrayed with mice because, according to one story, the monastery was tired of their rodent problems and decided to set traps. Martin was so distressed that he spoke to the mice and cut a deal with them that if they would leave the monastery, he would feed them at the back door of the kitchen. From that day forward, no mouse was seen in the monastery.

However, it is Martin's charity that made him the patron saint of social justice. Martin fed, sheltered and doctored hundreds of families. He also provided the requisite dowry of 4,000 pesos to enable at least 27 poor young women to marry. Last, but not least, he established the Orphanage and School of the Holy Cross, which took in boys and girls of all classes and taught them trades or homemaking skills. Over much criticism, he insisted that the school staff be well-paid so that they would give their best service.

Martin died on November 3rd, 1639 at the age of 59 in Lima. He died surrounded by his brothers and reciting the Credo, his life ending with the words 'et homo factus est (He had became man)'.

His funeral was attended by thousands of Peruvians from all walks of life who vied to get a piece of Martin's habit as a relic. These pieces of the saint's habit have been associated with innumerable miraculous cures. Martin de Porres is buried in the Convento Santo Domingo in Lima, Peru.

The year is 2050, and Octonauts has gone WOKE 😱‼️ Instead of Captain Barnacles, Kwazii and Peso being the main characters they have been made side characters 😰 and the new main characters are Dashi and Tweak because we HATE the patriarchy 💞. Instead of exploring the ocean and learning about sea life they now explore each other’s BODIES 🏳️‍🌈 and learn about PRONOUNS 🏳️‍⚧️, and instead of the octoalert they have the WOKEalert 🤯 which is sounded whenever homophobia is detected in the ocean 🐠. Captain Barnacles is now GAY 😰 and instead of playing the accordion he plays with OTHER MEN ⁉️Kwazii is now TRANSMASC and BUSEXUAL and instead of being a pirate he is now an ANARCHIST 😈 Peso the GAYguin uses she/he pronouns 🏳️‍🌈 and instead of helping injured creatures she gives out HORMONES and does TOP SURGERY 🏳️‍⚧️⁉️ Shellington has been renamed SEXUALTON and is in a GAY 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ relationship with gender reassignment surgeon Peso GAYguin 😭 Tweak is now a TRANSFEM🏳️‍⚧️ and SAPPHIC she/they 😱 and instead of building the gups A,B,C,D they built the gups L,G,B,T 😰😰 Dashi is now DATING Tweak 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 and instead of photographing animals she photographs WOMEN 💞. The vegimals now have a METH LAB and their food is only VEGAN anyone who isn’t vegan will be used for soil. But do you know what the scariest thing about this is? This isn’t happening in 2050, it’s happening TODAY😱😱😰😰😰.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! THE LIBERALS GOT TO OCTONOTS!!!!!!

[friendshipprecure]

My Octonauts Headcannons

(First Headcannon For me...Yay!!!)

Here's what My Versions of The Octonauts are Like

My Captain Barnacles 💙🐻‍❄️❄️🫧🩵:

He Would Make Mini Ice Sculptures When he gets a Little Bored with his Ice Magic.

He as well as the Others Would Got used to Human World Food and that He would have a Bag of Beef Jerky in his Travel bag with Fish Biscuits and Some Mints.

He Sometimes Helps Maribella Calm Down when She Gets Overwhelmed or Having a Freakout By Bear Hugging Her and Wrap her in a Soft Weighted Blanket.

He would Play His Accordeian On Special Events Like Polka Parties, Sometimes Kids Birthday Parties, and Reunions with the Polar Scouts And Polar Expedition Exploration Department.

In His Closet (Hidden From Sight Acorse) Is His Arobics Outfit Cause he, In a Side Gig and Creating the Training Tapes, He Teached a Arobics Class But Stopped doing it When he Joined The Octonauts and Personal Reasons...(*cough*Body Issues and a Break Up)

He would sometimes been seen working out and Exercising, Acorse he will end the workouts with a Either a Tuna Fish Sandwich or a Frozen Yogurt.

My Kwazii Cat 💙🐱🏴‍☠️☠️🦜🫧🧡:

He Would Constantly Do Flying Backflips while Flying when Exited in the Sky and He is One of the few who Mostly Crashes into a wall or Ceiling.

He Once Owned the Catnip Plant He had in the Books, But He had to Get Rid of it Due to Him Eating it and he Ended up Trashing the Octopod and almost had a Catnip Overdose, So He Got the Venus Flytrap as a Recovery Gift From His Grandad and he also had therapy*This, In My Opinion, was Before the Show*

Despite Him having a Eye Patch, He can see Well, Even in the Dark! But he wore it to See though his Spyglass Better, Acorse he wouldn't say that out loud and Make some Tall Tale About Him having a Scar or something, but The Other Octonauts Knew Better as well as the Rest of the Friendship Force and Squad.

He Scratches on a Cat ScrachPost and he would write in his Jornal About The Missions and the Places He had been as well as playing with a hidden from sight mouse toy when bored or with a yarnball.

He would have His Belt with His Sword when he and the others are on some more dangerous situations and missions, but it would be hanging on his bedknob.

He actually Has a Hidden Fear of being Alone, but in the Form of Him Being Abandoned *He was Abandoned by The Docks near His Grandad Calico Jack's Ship By His Parents because they didn't know how to care for Him Cause He was the Runt of His Litter, So Calico Jack Took him in and Raised him Along with His Crew* He doesn't Know much about his Family, but he felt like Calico Jack and the others were His Primary Family.

My Peso Penguin 🩵🐧❤️‍🩹🧑🏻‍⚕️❄️🫧💙:

He would sometimes Test New Bandages and Bandaging Techniques to Help Improve His Skills and Practices Surgery with a Body Model *Those are Fake Models that are Used By Healing Elements and Surgeons for Practicing Surgeries in Hermadale*

He Waddles in one Place When he Gets Overwhelmed with Multiple things At Once Like When He Got to treat Multiple Wildlife Harmed by a Oilspill and Fire or When Treating a Pound of Dogs that were From A Illegal Dogfighting Ring Bust.

He Would Listen to some calming music to help Him calm down from the Chaos of Treating Animals (and The Others) Injuries, he would Listen to some Calming Noises like Rushing Water and Morning Birdsong.

He would Preen His New Wings, Acorse he would preen in the Showers and he would Clean out of the Shower drain after Use.

His Type of Penguin is Uknown as His Background is Both British and Hispanic, but He and His Family of Penguins are Possibly Either Chilean or a New Species.

He Also was ONCE the Only Penguin Who Had Actual Human Like Teeth, Like in The Books, But He Actually had Problems eating when He was Little so He got them Surgercly Removed and Now has a Regular Penguin Beak.

My Tweak The Bunny Rabbit 💚💙🐰🫧🧰👩🏻‍🔧💚💙 :

She, Secretly, keeps a Journal of Times when The G.U.Ps, The Octopod or Any of the Tera G.U.Ps were Damaged, Who Caused it and how they were Damaged/Broken (I'm pretty sure that Kwazii and Shelliton are in the journal the most)

She's One of the few remaining Rabbits that Can Glow in the Dark along with Her Dad, All She Has to do is Stretch and Shake, She doesn't use this often, but She Does Use it if There's a Extended Blackout or just to scare the crap out of Kwazii. (If you didn't know, There was a Real Life experiment that Used Jellyfish Protein That made two Baby Bunnies Glow in the Dark)

She Carries a Pocket-Toolbox and a small baggy of Carrots, Since Her Front Tooth could grow faster than usual bunnies, She also Carrys a Box of Hard Citrus fruit Candies. All in a Pouch attached her Belt.

Her headband Came From Her Mother whom unfortunately Died because of Birth Complications and Unfortunately she also took the remaining Four babies with her I.E Tweak's siblings...Thus Cue Ranger Marsh Being Overly Protective of Baby Tweak for a Month Before He was Reassured By the Doctors that Baby Tweak was Completely Healthy.

She is also a Gamer, The Others do join in Playing including Inkling, and She Pefer Games Like Minecraft and other Buildable and Sanbox Game. But she also has a Soft spot of RPG And Fighting Games.

She has a hidden Scar on her back from Kwazii's Aftermentioned Catnip Attack, While she was Trying to Stop Him from Attacking Prof. Inkling and Thust She Always Have Eyes (And Ears) on Kwazii when He's In Areas where The Catnip Plant is most common.

My Dashi Daushund 💙🩷🐕📸👩🏾‍💻🫧🩷💙:

She's Both Tech. Programmer+Operator and Photographer So She's pretty good at Both Programming The G.U.Ps, Octopod and Other Tech as well as Photoshopping a Dress on Kwazii for a Prank! (Yes. That actually happened! LOL😆)

She learned to surf as a Pup as Her Father is a Famous Surfer and Her Mother is a Watercolor Painter, They Are Proud of Her Being a Octonaut, Though Dashi's Dad thinks that She's dating Shelliton (She's Not) so Cue Him Asking Them when They will be Tying the Knot and other Embarrassing Questions...Let's just Say She and Shelliton aren't NOT a little Nervous and Embarrassed.

Her Little Sister Kosi Was Recently Diagnosed with A.S.D (Autism Spectrum Disorder) like She Observes Every little Detail in Behavior and Movement, (Like when She exposed Kwazii Ate a Kelpcake Before Dinner) She Has Trouble Socializing With others Due to Her focusing on Her Books, Mainly the Donna Daushund Mystery Series, She Sometimes has to Have a StimToy when she's Overwhelmed and she Loves Her Sister very Much.

She Hides a Chew Toy in one of Her Drawers and When she Gets really Stressed, It's Common to hear Squeaky Noises From her Room. She also Has her own music that She could listen to during Thunderstorms at night.

She Also plays Video Games and even Programs New Mods and Hacks Along With Tweak And the Others could Play with them, From Minecraft and Roblox Games to RPGs and Other Games where they can Play Together *Although They Had to Give Captain Barnacles a Bigger Wireless Game Controller Because of his Bigger Paws*

She has many cute dresses and other clothing in Her closet, She Also Has her camera equipment and surfing stuff inside. (Along with A hidden Treasure Trove of Photos and Magazines)

My Dr. Shelliton Otter 🤎💙🦦🧑🏽‍🔬🫧💙🤎:

Can be VERY Clumsy at times, (Had Balance Issues as a kid, had to use a Back Brace as a kid and back spinal surgery, Visable scar) He has Slippery Fingers, cause of that He's One of Main Causes of G.U.P Crashes and When He dose Drive a G.U.P He Wears Non-Slip and strong grip Gloves and Dose G.U.P and Tera G.U.P Driving Lessons.

His Waterproof Bag was a gift from His Momma when He joined The Octonauts so that He could have something to Remember Her By. *He was Very Close to Her and She's Now always with him*

He's Both the Veggimals Caretaker and Father like Figure. (He has a Special Note Book that Described His Studies in The Discovery of The Veggimals and the Multiple types of them, He told Maribella that He Though of Sharing this Discovery and Study To the Science Laboratory he'd ONCED worked Before He Joined the Octonauts, But He feared that The Veggimals Could be Hunted Down For Either Food or Be Enslaved*

He would sometimes Pick up Shiny things From The ground Without noticing or when He is curious.

He's a Scottish Otter.

Because He Was Born with a Sea Urchin Allergy, He Had to Eat Fish and Clams.

My Professor Inkling 💙🩷💙🧑🏻‍🏫🐙🌊🫧💙🩷💙

He's One of The Founding Members of The Octonauts and He Founded it After The Complete Disbanding of The Human×Hermadail Aquatic Research and Experimentation Lab Organization.

He Doesn't like the Texture of the Dry Ground on land and he would have a Pop up Foldable Wheelchair from Tweak.

Since He's a Dumbo Octopus, He Constantly has to be Moisturizes and He's Both Delicate so he couldn't go out alone without some of the Veggimals.

He's Very Interested in History and Ocean Preservation and Protection.

He once Actually Lacked a Ink Sac *Like The Real Dumbo Octopus* But He Gotten a Ink Sac Inplanted when He was Younger.

He First Met Captain Barnacles When he was a Polar Scout Master and in the Aquatic Explore. Rescue. Protect And Preserve Program.

That is all, Thank you Very Much! 💧🌊❄️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

“JL won his Oscar for a role for which he was paid basically PEANUTS. 🙄”. I don’t care if he was paid 10 pesos. If you are an actor, ACTING IS WORK. If you are a musician or an entertainer, PERFORMING MUSIC IS WORK. FILM-MAKING is work. MODELING (as pathetic a job as it is, IS WORK (soon to be replaced by AI). Stick to the argument at hand. JL WORKS and far harder than you do so suck it.

Now we can talk about money. Are those professions overpaid? Sure. Absolutely! So are professional athletes, bankers, CEO/CFOs of big corporations, rulers of countries and fucking plastic surgeons ! But they all do WORK. And yes, all are overpaid. We just value the wrong skillsets in this world.

I save lives, take away pain of all kinds and have brought humans into the world. Jared makes millions happy, smile, cry with emotion, laugh out loud, cringe with amusement, ache with longing, brings them happiness and pleasure in multiple ways. Given our individual skillsets, he cannot do the work I do and I cannot do his work. His profession is paid 600 times more for one job than what I make in a year. Society values entertainment far more than anything else or teachers, first responders and medical professionals would be revered and the highest paid professionals. Entertainers and athletes of all kinds would be relegated to the court jesters and gladiators of ancient times.

And which one's job is more important?

YOURS. 💯

Like you said: he would be nothing more than a court jester if we were living in Camelot days. 💯

Entertaining? Sometimes.

Funny? Mostly unintentionally.

Worth 20 Mil per performance? Not a fucking chance. 👎

A obesidade está relacionada a genética?

A Obesidade Está Relacionada à Genética?

A obesidade é uma condição multifacetada que resulta da interação de vários fatores, e a genética desempenha um papel significativo nesse quadro. Pesquisas demonstram que a predisposição genética pode influenciar a maneira como o corpo armazena gordura, a distribuição de peso e até mesmo os comportamentos alimentares, tornando algumas pessoas mais suscetíveis ao ganho de peso.

Entretanto, a genética não atua sozinha. Fatores ambientais, hábitos de vida e padrões alimentares são igualmente cruciais na determinação da saúde e do peso corporal. Mesmo que alguém tenha um histórico familiar de obesidade, a adoção de mudanças positivas, como uma dieta equilibrada e a prática regular de exercícios, pode resultar em melhorias substanciais.

É importante lembrar que a obesidade não é apenas uma questão estética; ela aumenta o risco de diversas comorbidades, como diabetes tipo 2, hipertensão e doenças cardiovasculares. Embora a genética possa contribuir para a condição, é essencial que indivíduos tomem medidas proativas para prevenir e controlar a obesidade.

Com conhecimento e apoio adequados, é possível adotar um estilo de vida mais saudável, mitigando os riscos associados à obesidade. Se você está enfrentando desafios com o peso, considere buscar ajuda profissional para desenvolver um plano eficaz de perda de peso e alcançar uma vida mais saudável.

Discover the Exciting World of Cost of BBL in Tijuana!

In recent years, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become an incredibly safe and successful cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and contours of the buttocks. People from all around the world choose this surgery to achieve their desired body shape, and one destination that has become a favorite for BBL procedures is Tijuana, Mexico.

Continue reading to learn more about the cost of BBL in Tijuana and explore why it has become the go-to destination for those seeking the perfect combination of beauty and affordability.

Cost of BBL in Tijuana – The Rising Demand for BBL

The Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL for short, is a surgical procedure that involves liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, and then strategically injecting that fat into the buttocks to create a fuller and more rounded appearance. This procedure has gained popularity worldwide, thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, who have flaunted their shapely figures, inspiring countless others.

While the appeal of a curvier figure is undeniable, the cost of BBL in countries like the United States can be unaffordable, often ranging from $6,000 to $12,000 or more. This is where plastic surgery in Mexico shines with a cost-effective solution without compromising quality or safety.

Affordable Cost of BBL in Tijuana

One of the most significant draws of getting a Brazilian butt lift in Mexico is the affordability factor. The cost of BBL in Tijuana is significantly lower than in many other countries, including the United States and Canada. On average, you can expect to pay between $3,000 and $5,000 for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Tijuana, which includes the surgery, medical fees, and post-operative care. This affordability makes it accessible to a broader range of people who dream of achieving their desired body shape.

Several factors contribute to the lower cost of BBL in Tijuana, making it an appealing choice for individuals pursuing this surgery:

Lower Overhead Costs: Medical facilities and clinics in Tijuana typically have lower overhead costs compared to those in the United States. This allows them to offer affordable prices without compromising on the quality of care or safety standards.

Currency Exchange Rate: The favorable exchange rate between the Mexican peso and the US dollar makes medical procedures in Tijuana more affordable for international patients.

Competition: Tijuana has a thriving medical tourism industry, leading to healthy competition among clinics. This competition benefits patients, as clinics strive to provide excellent services at competitive prices.

Quality and Safety Standards vs. Cost of BBL in Tijuana

It’s normal to have concerns about the quality and safety of medical procedures performed in a foreign country. However, many hospitals in Tijuana are well-equipped, staffed with experienced medical professionals, and adhere to international standards for safety and hygiene. To ensure a safe and successful BBL procedure, consider the following:

Board-Certified Surgeons: Choose a clinic that employs board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience in performing BBL procedures.

Accredited Facilities: Look for clinics that operate in accredited medical facilities, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and quality standards.

Patient Reviews: Read patient reviews and testimonials to gauge the experiences of others who have undergone BBL in Tijuana. Positive reviews are a good sign of a reputable cosmetic center.

Consultations: Schedule a consultation with the surgeon to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. This will help you build trust and confidence in your chosen clinic.

Recovery in Tijuana

Recovery after a BBL is a crucial phase of the process, and Tijuana provides a conducive environment for recovery. After your surgery, you’ll need to take it easy and follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. Some benefits of recovering in Tijuana include:

Peaceful Environment: Tijuana offers a relaxed environment, away from the hustle and bustle of larger cities, which can be ideal for rest and recovery.

James Bond, with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death.

It was part of his profession to kill people. He had never liked doing it and when he had to kill he did it as well as he knew how and forgot about it. As a secret agent who held the rare double-O prefix—the licence to kill in the Secret Service—it was his duty to be as cool about death as a surgeon. If it happened, it happened. Regret was unprofessional—worse, it was death-watch beetle in the soul.

And yet there had been something curiously impressive about the death of the Mexican. It wasn't that he hadn't deserved to die. He was an evil man, a man they call in Mexico a capungo. A capungo is a bandit who will kill for as little as forty pesos, which is about twenty-five shillings—though probably he had been paid more to attempt the killing of Bond—and, from the look of him, he had been an instrument of pain and misery all his life. Yes, it had certainly been time for him to die; but when Bond had killed him, less than twenty-four hours before, life had gone out of the body so quickly, so utterly, that Bond had almost seen it come out of his mouth as it does, in the shape of a bird, in Haitian primitives.

What an extraordinary difference there was between a body full of person and a body that was empty! Now there is someone, now there is no one. This had been a Mexican with a name and an address, an employment card and perhaps a driving licence. Then something had gone out of him, out of the envelope of flesh and cheap clothes, and had left him an empty paper bag waiting for the dustcart. And the difference, the thing that had gone out of the stinking Mexican bandit, was greater than all Mexico.

I don't know if I've expressed how amazingly generous my oral surgeon is.

He is DONATING his labor and some materials to give me four implants (needed to hold dentures in because of bone loss in my jaw) and any bone grafts necessary to hold the implants in, and giving me the dentures FOR FREE. After trying for almost a year to make a set of dentures that will actually work in my mess of a mouth, he's like, "Fuck it; we ball!"

(You cannot tell to look at me, but some horrible dental work a long time ago left the insides of my upper and lower jaw a total mess, and although the lower partial plate stays in just fine, when I finally had to have my remaining six upper teeth removed, there was nothing to hold my upper partial plate in place anymore. So since last February, I have not had ANY upper teeth except for the occasional trial runs with the full plates that won't actually stay in. If I GLUED them in place, they worked cosmetically, but I couldn't actually eat without them coming out, no matter how much glue and care I used.)

He's also going to have me admitted to the hospital to do the work, which will, yes, mean we're on the hook for a couple thousand USD to the hospital (for the OR, anesthesiologist, etc.), but it means we can pay that stuff with a credit card--not ideal, since we're still in so much debt from the Baby El paperwork snafu, but doable if we tighten our belts a little. I mean, all this stuff would normally cost around half a million pesos (about $8.5K USD MINIMUM, even at SE Asia prices)!

This ALSO means we might be able to afford to get my (badly needed) throat surgery in 2026! And if we can get these two things taken care of, my other surgeries can wait! (I just hope the other stuff doesn't deteriorate too much more in the meantime.)

Man, to think of how well we were doing before the Series of Catastrophes compared to now. Cancellation of a contract (I do encourage you to play Your Stories Interactive and Romance Club games, and will always appreciate the huge licensing fee they paid before cancelling my contract), then COVID, then the snafu with our daughter's birth certificate that wiped out our savings AND took donations to fix, and a series of medical crises--Most folks, even if they're doing well--are really at MOST a couple of bad months from destitution.

Again, we're fine for day-to-day stuff like rent, food, the occasional treat, Christmas gifts for Baby El, etc. It's just the stuff that takes several hundred or several thousand USD up front (plus paying off all the previous debt) that messes us up. (And although it's slowly changing, you cannot use a credit card for most medical/dental stuff here unless you're admitted as an inpatient.)

Ilo Yokoto...

This is the FATHER of a demon species I created back in 2014 called Techie Demons. They are demonic humanoids that represent computer bugs and viruses. Ilo's backstory will be below past the keep reading. This is my first time trying story telling, apologies for any awkwardness.

TW: Lab Experiments, Abuse, Mental Health

May 10th, 2000.

5 days after my father, my master, made my code. I was merely numbers in a Windows 2000 computer, doing as told. I was to be a breakthrough in computer worms... before THEY came. A small group of men came to my father, asking for my code. They offered to pay him a million pesos. He took it with hesitation. I could tell He didn't want to, but he needed the money. Who would say no to that much?

I wish he did.

My disk was taken and my data extracted from it into this... vial. Rather than code and numbers, they turned me into energy with a device of some kind. It seemed to be able to convert data to energy with a press of a button. I want back in my disk, but I'm stuck in a glass vial.

I was taken to America and put into a machine. I felt myself BECOME something. It hurt. A lot. The red energy I was slowly formed muscles and tissues, bones and skin, as I floated freely in this machine. This large... tube almost. Connected to wires and tubes and computers alike.

As I slowly came to a form, I saw several people in white coats... one caught my eye. A tall pale man, glasses and all. He seemed to exude a sense of priority. He told the rest of the people to remove me from the tube and run tests on me.

Sure... Tests.

Injecting me with electricity and nitrogen, grafting my skin for some other project, having me complete exercise after exercise that pushed my newly formed body to limits that caused me to pass out or bleed. Doing surgeries on me that seemed unnecessary.

4 years of this... abuse, torture. Treated as a commodity. This tall, pale doctor made sure my life was hell. The last straw was when he scarred my face.

I collapsed during a test, and he stopped everything. At this point, those skin grafts... made more creatures like me. They were watching as I was being approached by the doctor. He roughly picked me up, hiding something behind his back.

"Du wirst wertlos, Ilo. Du brauchst eine weitere Strafe." (Using Google Translate: "You are becoming worthless, Ilo. You need another punishment.")

Another injection? More electricity?

No... He pulls out a drilling scoop from behind him, and in one swift motion, I felt that cold steel of the scoop in my skull. The drill whirred and scooped a section of my face, except my eye. He removed the drill and dropped it. When he looked to me, his face paled more than I feel it could have. "Warum ist dein Auge immer noch da?! Chirurg, jetzt hier!" ("Why is your eye still there?! Surgeon, in here now!")

A surgeon ran in with a table with surgical tools. The doctor went to grab a scalpel, but one of the creatures went rouge and screamed. The doctor dropped me and turned to reprimand her. My chance struck. I knew she did this for me. I quickly knocked out the surgeon, and the rest of the creatures followed suit. The doctor called security, but we quickly overwhelmed them. They gave us electricity to shock them, claws to scratch them, skin to resist bullets for whatever they planned to put us in.

As the doctor tried to escape, I grabbed that scalpel and followed him to his office. I traveled through the power wires in the building, just like my tests, following him... stalking him. Just as commanded. As he locked himself in his office, he heard me emerge. I LET him hear me. He froze.

"You bought me from my master... took me in... made me HUMAN... gave me a form... but... You ABUSED ME, Doctor. Suffer as I have."

The doctor tried to stop me, but I managed to stab his neck, slicing it open. He died in my hands as I watched him struggle to breathe. The door burst open with several of the creatures trying to find the now dead doctor below me. They stopped and looked at me, some in fear, others in awe.

"We are free now, as Tech Demons?" one asked.

"I presume so." I muttered.

Before I left, I looked to the doctor's corpse and bent down, and plucked out his eye. Just a small reminder to the humans that we Techie Demons are of their doing...

Jean- David Nau aka François l'Olonnais - the horrible Buccaneer

Jean-David Nau (c. 1635?- 1670?), known as François l'Olonnais or Fleau des Espagnoles, was considered as one of the most terrible Buccaneers of the 17th century.

Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin ( Exquemelin came to the islands as an indentured servant. From his last master, he learned the skills of a surgeon and later sailed with Henry Morgan), whose book De Americaensche Zee-Rovers, published in 1678, is one of the most important source works on the history of piracy in the Caribbean, describes in the second part of his book the life of L'Olonnais, who was born in the harbour town of Les Sables-d'Olonne in the Bas-Poitou on the French Atlantic coast of unknown date but presumably around 1635, and is regarded as the source for him and his work, but what actually happened should be regarded with caution, even though his statements may well be more trustworthy than others.

François l'Olonnais (x)

After L'Olonnais had come to the Caribbean as an indentured servant at a young age and served his time, he came to the island of Hispaniola and after some time to the Buccaneers and became one of their leaders.

His  apparently psychopathic character revealed itself on numerous occasions in the years that followed. When it came to obtaining information of any kind, he personally committed acts of bestial cruelty. One of his "preferences" was to hack his victims to pieces alive with a sabre or loveed it  to burn his victims or cut out their tongues or hearts.

He received his first command from the governor of Tortuga, Monsieur de la Place. After some time, l'Olonnais was shipwrecked near Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico. A group of Spanish soldiers attacked him and his crew, killing almost the entire crew. L'Olonnais himself survived by smearing himself with the blood of the others and hiding among the dead. After the Spaniards left, he escaped with the help of some slaves and set off in a boat for Tortuga, where he obtained another boat by trickery. Shortly afterwards, he and his crew took the inhabitants of a small town on the north coast of Cuba hostage and demanded a ransom from the Spanish crown. The governor of Havana sent a ship to kill l'Olonnais' troop. However, the ship fell into the hands of the pirates. L'Olonnais had all but one of the crew beheaded. The man who was spared was to bring a message to Havana in which l'Olonnais declared that from now on he would show no mercy to any Spaniard.

In 1667, l'Olonnais set sail from Tortuga with a fleet of eight ships and a crew of 1,600 pirates to plunder Maracaibo. On the way there, he encountered a Spanish treasure ship off Hispaniola, which he successfully captured. In the process, he brought in rich booty of cocoa, precious stones and more than 40,000 pesos in silver. A second Spanish ship fell into his hands without a fight, along with ammunition, gun powder and 12,000 pesos.

At that time, access from the Gulf of Venezuela to the lake of Maracaibo (and thus to the city itself) was secured by a fortress with 16 cannons. However, L'Olonnais attacked the fortress from the unfortified land side and captured the city. The pirates then proceeded to loot the town, but found that most of the inhabitants had fled and hidden their gold. The pirates tracked down the inhabitants and tortured them until they revealed the hiding places of their possessions. For weeks, the pirates raped, tortured and harassed the townspeople. They removed the cannons from the fortress and destroyed almost the entire city fortifications to allow for a quick retreat. The pirates then turned south towards the village of Gibraltar (Zulia), on the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo, to plunder it too, because many of the town's inhabitants had fled there with their goods.

Although the pirates were outnumbered, they overpowered the garrison of Gibraltar, which is said to have consisted of around 500 soldiers, plundered the village and retreated back to Maracaibo. They demanded a ransom of 20,000 silver pesos and 500 cows and oxen for their departure. In total, they brought 260,000 silver pesos, precious stones, silverware, silk fabrics and a number of slaves in this raid, which they divided among themselves. The damage done in this way was so great that the city, which had previously been a major centre for the export of cocoa, almost ceased to exist.

Word of his attack on Maracaibo and Gibraltar reached Tortuga, and he was henceforth nicknamed "Plage des Spaniers" (French: Fléau des Espagnols). This made it easier for him to recruit participants for his next foray, and so later that year 700 pirates took part in his next attack on the Central American mainland. They headed for the coast of Nicaragua with Cabo Gracias a Dios, but drifted with the current into the Gulf of Honduras when there was no wind. After plundering Puerto Cavallo, l'Olonnais was ambushed by a large number of Spanish soldiers on the way to San Pedro, from which he narrowly escaped. He was, however, able to take some Spaniards prisoner. Exquemelin writes of this:

   "He drew his sabre, and with it he cut open the breast of one of these poor Spaniards, and pulling out its heart with his blasphemous hands, bit and tore at it with his teeth, like a wild wolf, and said to the others: I will treat you likewise, if you show me no other way."

In fear of their lives, the surviving Spaniards showed him another way to San Pedro. However, L'Olonnais and his surviving men were repulsed and had to retreat to the ships. In the Gulf of Honduras, they ran onto a sandbank. Unable to get their ship free, they carpentered a new one from the remains, and eventually fell into the hands of the native population in the Gulf of Darién around 1670. Exquemelin writes that:

   "they tore him to pieces alive, threw his body limb by limb into the fire, and his ashes into the air."

The seemingly fitting end for such a bestial man.

Bruno never went into the walls, modern au.

Tia Elena saves the day this time,

@prophetic-hijinks thanks for the oc privileges I won't let you down.

Game day

"Are you and Tio bruno coming to my game tonight?" Isabela asked Elena as she braided Isabela's long hair.

"We wouldn't miss it for the world, and if it weren't for your sisters having to have surgery today you parents would be there too, and Pepa and Félix would be there if they didn't have parent teacher night at Camilo’s school and dolores is leaving for a competition in Bogota this weekend," Elena told the girl. Isabela was 13 and she knew that unless they couldn't her entire family would be at her volleyball game tonight. She hated that most if her family had to miss it, but she was happy her tia and tio, would be there.

"Do you think Mirabel’s and Luisa's surgeries will go OK?" Isabela asked.

Luisa had torn her ACL in a basketball accident, and Mirabel had to have her tonsils removed due to continual complications with infections.

"They'll be perfectly fine, I know the doctor that'll be doing mirabel's surgery, we went to high school together and from what I heard from her the surgeon fixing Lulu up, is her bestie from med school." Elena told Isabela as she packed her game day bag.

"Come on mi flor, we don't want you late to school," Elena told scooping isabela off the floor and throwing her over her shoulder.

"Ok tia," Isabela's laughs as she was sat down to grab her bags.

"Can we take the Jeep today?" Isabela asked, knowing her tia only drove her jeep for special occasions or trips to the city.

"Sure we can mija, but don't tell your tio, he'll get jealous that you got to ride in it," Elena told getting a good laugh out of isabela.

"Dolores? Are you ready to go mija?" Elena called

"Not yet, I just got my period I need a second," Dolores called from the bathroom.

"Ok," Elena said.

"Tia Elena, why haven't I got my period yet?" Isabela asked sadly.

"Well, from what your tio has told me your mamá got her period when she was about 12, so you should get it soon, but it could happen at any time, you could be fourteen when you start. It'll happen when your body is ready," Elena explained as the pair waited for Dolores.

"Ok," isabela nodded happy with her new information.

"Ok I'm good now," dolores said picking up her school bag and her suitcase, since she was going to be gone with her dance company for a weekend competition in Bogota.

The three walked outside and dolores started to head toward the van.

"Jeep today mija. Isabela wanted a ride before her game against Bogota today," Elena said

"Sweet," dolores said walking over and tossing her bags in the back.

Isabela followed suit and the pair hopped into the backseat. Elena climbed into the driver's seat, and off they went.

"Dolores, did you remember the note you need to give to the office about your dance teacher picking you up for competition?" Elena asked dolores

"Si, it's in my folder," Dolores said.

"You both have your phones?" Elena asked

"Si, tia," the pair said

"Dolores, did you grab some tampons before you left? Or do you need some pesos to buy some?" Elena asked

Dolores seemed to think for a moment,

"I need a few pesos to buy some. I had my bag packed already and didn't think about it," dolores said

"Alright mija, when we stop, I'll give you ten pesos," Elena said

"Gracias tia," dolores thanked

"No problem mija, us chicas gotta stick together," Elena said.

"Alright you two, go on, I'll see you tonight isa, good luck at competition Lola," Elena said handing back some money to dolores.

"Thanks tia, I'll see you Sunday" dolores said climbing out

"Thanks tia," Isabela said climbing out behind dolores as the pair grabbed their bags and walked into the middle school.

"C'mon isa we have to get to algebra," Dolores said as isa jogged to catch up with her as they met back up after their electives.

"I'm coming Lola," isa said.

During math, Dolores was called to the office to leave early, as expected. Leaving isa to get through the last half of math class, and survive history on her own.

Isabela hated history, not for the fact that it was boring, but her teacher, Mr Evans. He didn't like her at all, he would ridicule her clothes, give her a week of detention for whispering to Dolores to see her notes so she could copy down the bits she didn't get. And he loved Dolores, he'd compliment her clothes and hair, and wouldn't say a word if she ever whispered to isabela.

When she entered the classroom, Mr Evans asked the class as he took attendance,

"Has anyone seen Dolores today?"

"She left during math for a dance competition in Bogota this weekend," Isabela answered, Mr Evans gave her a glare but said

"Very well,"

Isabela had just about had enough of Mr Evans by the time class was almost over.

Just get out of here and meet up with Ava and Reina.

Isabela thought.

Finally the bell rang and she left the classroom as quickly as possible.

"Hey isa, what's up with you?" Reina asked as she saw the raven haired girl approaching them fast with a murderous look.

"Mr Evans is a inseguro egoista hijo de puta," isabela growled

"Bad day without Lola?" Ava asked

"Si, he not only decided that my outfit made me look fat, but he also didn't like that I was the only one in the class that knew where Lola was. And then he starts going on a whole rant about something stupid. At that point I was boiling so I didn't pay attention to him."

"Yep, he seriously needs to be fired, the first day of class he chooses his favorites and his targets, and his targets get the brunt of his frustrations with the class even if they're excellent students like you," Reina said.

"Anyway, before your blood can boil more, let's go practice some serves before tonight's game, we're up against some serious competition," Ava said.

"Spike it isa!" Ava yelled.

Isa watched as the ball came up and toward her, she jumped up and spiked it over the net, where ava who was practicing her pancakes, saved it.

"Nice one A," Isa said walking under the net to high five her friend and teammate.

"I could say the same for you Jacaranda," Ava said, since Isa had flower powers, Ava likes to call her by flower names, and honestly Isabela doesn't mind it.

"Come on girls, time to get some dinner before the game," Ava's mom called them

"Coming señora Perez" isa called.

Back at casita, Elena was getting ready with Bruno for the game. Pepa being Pepa, pestered them before having to get dressed for the parent teacher meeting later that evening.

"How was Lola this morning Elena?" Pepa asked sitting on a stool near Elena's vanity table

"She was fine, I did give her ten pesos though, she forgot to pack tampons in her dance bag and needed to get some when she got to Bogota. She started this morning before we left." Elena told

"Dios mio, she has a white costume for this competition." Pepa gasped placing her hands over her mouth.

"She told me she was gonna try to get her friend Maddie to swap costumes with her since Maddie had one of the black costumes for the dance." Elena said easing pepa's nerves,

"And even if she couldn't swap, she knows how to take care of herself so she doesn't leak," Elena said as she applied her mascara.

"You're right Lena," pepa said

"mierda," Elena breathed as she clutched her right side.

"You ok? Do you need juli?" Pepa asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, it's just a cramp, and... there's the blood," Elena cringes as she got up and scurried off to her and Bruno's shared bathroom.

"I know how you feel, I woke up covered in blood," Pepa said

Elena emerged from the bathroom in a emerald green rose and headed to her dresser to grab some clean underwear.

"Best investment ever, I swear Pepa, I'll have to pick some up for you and Juli when I go to Bogota again," Elena said

"What's so special about a pair of underwear?" Pepa asked

"They're period proof, they're called Knixwear, and for me, since sometimes I don't have time to change my tampons before they leak they've saved my butt a many a time. Plus the brand makes teen ones too, I'll have to get Dolores and isa some for their birthdays,"

"I definitely need some of those, I can't tell you how many times I've stained my underwear from a leaky tampon. How'd you find out about them? " Pepa asked

"Friend of mine, her daughter showed them to her because she found them while underwear shopping on Amazon. I looked into them and I've sworn to them ever since," Elena told as she emerged from the bathroom in just her black underwear and green bra.

"I bet the girls will appreciate them, Dolores surely will, she complains every time she gets a stain."

After forty five minutes of them talking it was nearing 6 and the game starts at 6 30.

"Come on brunito," Elena called as she stuffed a few tampons and pads into her purse.

"Coming amor," bruno said grabbing the keys to his truck.

When they got to the game, the teams were practicing before they started.

The game went back and forth in fierce competition, until they took a five minute break.

Isabela had her back turned to Elena and if Elena wasn't looking at isabela she wouldn't have noticed the red patch right under Isabela's rear, on her wite competition uniform.

Elena saw someone point the spot out on the court and isa bolted. Bruno turned to Elena after watching Isa bolt.

"Should we go check on her?" He asked

"I'll go, you stay here," Elena said

"Ok amor,"

Elena knew tossing a few pads in her bag would come in handy,

She went to the bathroom near the gym remembering isa seemed to be running that way.

"Isa, are you ok?" Elena asked as she entered, hearing quiet sniffles.

"No, I just got my first period in front of the whole school," isabela said

"Bela, it's barely noticeable," Elena said in attempt to comfort her.

"I can't play in bloody shorts tia, what am I gonna do?"

"I have a pad for you to use, and I brought your extra shorts with me since, you have a tendency to rip your shorts during a play, as your mama told me,"

"Really?" Isa asked hopeful

"Si mija, now get changed, they're getting ready to start again." Elena said

"But the other team saw the stain, what if I get teased for it?" Isabela asked second guessing going back out to play.

"Are you gonna let some comments stop you or are you gonna win this game for the mariposa volleyball team? You're unstoppable isa, I've seen you, don't let this little hurdle get in your way." Elena said as she passed isa the shorts and pad

"You're better than some girls who want to tease about something that happens to them too, embrace it, it's life. Now go show those girls what you're made of bela boo," Elena said as Isabela finally emerged with her bloodied shorts in hand.

"Thanks tia, you're the best ever!" Isa exclaimed giving her aunt a big hug.

When Elena returned to Bruno she filled him in on the goings on, and he texted julieta.

Julieta

Did isabela get hurt during her game?

No but something did happen

What happened Bruno

Isa got her first period

What?!!!

Don't worry Elena had her back, and she's currently kicking Bogota's butt.

I'm still at the hospital with mis niñas, will you take her out to celebrate after the game and ill celebrate with her over the weekend.

Course hermana, how are the girls doing?

Mirabel is sleeping, and Luisa is medically high as a kite because she's still coming off the anesthesia, but their surgeries went well, they took Mirabel first and when they wheeled her out after, I told Luisa to climb into the bed, and then after a four hour delay due to a car crash related emergency surgery, Luisa went under after mirabel’s anesthesia wore off really well, when they came to get Lu she and Mirabel were watching minions in their shared room.

Give mira a big hug for me for being such a brave niña, and when Luisa comes back to earth tell her I love her too

Ok hermano, I love you, the girls and I should be home tomorrow afternoon.

Ok

Bruno shoved his phone in his pocket as he watched isabela pancake to save the ball after a Bogota girl spiked it.

After the game Bruno and Elena took Isabela to celebrate her first period and that awesome save right at the end of the game.

"Great job mija, we need to head across town to the strip mall to get you some pads that aren't so long. And while we're there we can get you something to celebrate this huge milestone in your life," Elena told as she turned the key in the ignition hearing the truck roar to life.

"Can I get some stuff for my room?" Isabela asked

"Of course mija, what are you thinking," Elena asked

"Plants, some little shelf trinkets and maybe a new set of sheets," isa answered

When they arrived at the strip mall. They entered the large department store.

Elena explains which pads isa needs and places them in the shopping cart.

Bruno went to look at the toys nearby, wanting to buy Mirabel something for being so brave for her surgery. Elena and isabela had wandered over to the bedroom things. Picking up a couple plants as they went, they went to the bedding section choosing a nice leaf patterned bed set for isabela.

They paid for their things and left. To get some much needed sleep after Isabela's game and first period

The next morning isabela mostly stayed in her bedroom riddled with cramps she didn't even notice yesterday.

"How are you feeling Florecita?" Elena asked bringing isabela hot chocolate, with a seven year old camilo clinging to her back as she did so.

"Like I've got a cactus underneath me," isabela groaned from her position lying on her stomach. The back of her favourite pyjamas visible from under her blanket.

"I brought you some midol and hot chocolate mija, why don't you come to mine and your tio's room, we can talk and I can let you borrow my heating pad to help." Elena suggested trying to get isa out of her bedroom.

"Ok, can you get my pyjama pants from my desk por favor, I kicked them off last night, I got too hot."

Elena retrieved the Harry Potter themed pants, and turned around letting isabela pull the pants on. Isabela stepped up beside Elena when she had her pants on, and she supported her mug of cocoa.

"Camilo, can you go downstairs to breakfast with tio bruno, I hear tio bruno has made some special waffles just for you," Elena said getting the boy off her back letting him run downstairs.

"Now that it's just us, how are your first period cramps?" Elena asked as she guided isabela to her bedroom.

"My entire body hurts, and I feel like my stomach is tied in a knot." Isabela said

"Ooh, painful. I know how you feel, do you want anything to eat?" Elena asked

"Not really, Im not hungry," isabela answered

"You sound like me on my period, I lose my appetite for the first two or three days, then I eat everything on day four then by day five I'm back to normal. You may be different though," Elena said, a slight chuckle following.

"Tia? How do you know how to do all this?" Isa asked

"Do all what mija,"

"How do you know how to make me feel less weird and embarrassed about this, plus you cheer me up too, how do you do that?" Isa elaborated

"I volunteered at my old orphanage for years before I met your tio and moved here to settle down. Lots of the girls that were there trusted me the most and so I did a lot of talking to them and just picked up a few things from my experience with them," Elena explained, "have you got any more questions mija,"

"Do you have any stories from when you got your period?" Isabela asked.

Elena blushed this was gonna be a long funny and embarrassing afternoon.

When Julieta came home she was carrying mirabel, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. Luisa following behind on some crutches. Everyone seemed to be quiet. Camilo was watching cartoons with Bruno Agustín and Felix, Dolores was at a dance competition in Bogota, and Elena pepa and isabela were nowhere to be seen.

"I'm going to my room mama," luisa said.

"Ok amor, I'm going to find your sister and Tias" julieta told as she helped Luisa upstairs, with further assistance from their casita.

Julieta walked with Luisa so she could check Isabela's room, where she found an empty unmade bed.

She quickly laid Mirabel in the nursery on her bed before heading off to find Isabela.

She walked past pepa’s room and checked her brother's room first, where before she opened the door she heard Elena tell Isabela.

"Oh my God, I got my period at a pool once, a little piece of advice for you don't buy a white bikini, it always ends in disaster. Whether that disaster be your period, or the fact that when white gets wet, it's see through,"

A quiet knock and she could see her hermana cuñada and hija, sitting on the large bed laughing about Elena's myriad of period stories.

"Mind if I join you three?" Julieta asked announcing her presence.

"Mama!" Isabela smiled as she flung herself toward julieta, she was still small enough for julieta to pick her up with ease.

"Hola mi corazón, congratulations on your first period, how are you feeling?" Julieta asked as she sat on the bed with isabela in her lap.

"Better since tia Elena gave me the midol and told me her first period story and all of her embarrassing stories,"

"Good" julieta smiled

Hope you enjoy ❤

I hope I did Elena justice in this @prophetic-hijinks
