i was off E for like over 1.5 weeks until yesterday evening and it made me rly anxious and stuff and that DOES appear to be fixed now. however i'm just hormonal in the other direction now and despite having been awake for 4 hours i have yet to manage to leave my bed because im incapable of doing anything besides hugging plushies and yearning.

Who's up peri on they od

Mmm, please consider, Lower Decks, but Boimler is a very recently out trans woman, and Mariner is a trans woman who's been out and transitioned for a while, and Beckett 'mentoring' Brad is actually just her being like "Come on girl, we're gonna get you on some E and then I'll show you all of the replicators best sweater patterns because you're about to be cold all the time."

The Human Body

It comprises living cells and extracellular materials, organized into tissues, organs, and systems.

It is primarily composed of water and organic compounds, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Water, making up about 60% (varies by age) of body weight, is crucial for life's chemical processes, found in both extracellular fluids and within cells, serving as a vital solvent.

The skin and related structures form the integumentary system, safeguarding the body from harmful invaders and chemicals while also preventing water loss.

Comprising skeletal muscles and bones (about 206 in adults), the musculoskeletal system facilitates body movement and shields internal organs.

Incorporating breathing passages, lungs, and respiratory muscles, the respiratory system acquires vital oxygen from the air for cellular metabolism and expels waste carbon dioxide.

The circulatory system, comprising the heart, blood, and vessels, circulates fluid throughout the body, furnishing cells with oxygen and nutrients while removing waste like carbon dioxide and toxic compounds.

The digestive system comprises the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, breaks down food into usable nutrients, absorbing them into the bloodstream, and eliminates the remaining waste as feces.

Consisting of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, the excretory system filters toxins and waste from the blood for elimination.

The nervous system formed by sensory organs, brain, spinal cord, and nerves transmits sensory data, integrates it, and triggers appropriate muscular or glandular responses.

Composed of hormone-secreting glands and tissues, the endocrine system coordinates body processes via a chemical communication network.

The reproductive system, encompassing male or female sex organs, plays a crucial role in facilitating reproduction.

In males, this system includes structures such as the testes, which produce sperm, and in females, it comprises the ovaries, which produce eggs.

Unfortunate that I have lived through both the past “drawing characters with body hair is gross” internet, and the current “drawing characters with body hair is sexualising them” internet.

Spending the last day of 2022 catching up on studies. I hope everyone is having a good time and are proud of themselves for making this far <3

i just saw the snippet where alastor actually uses the traffic light system (oh boy) and im so stuck between thinking vox either immediately fucks right off into the ceiling lights or gets german suplexed all the way down to the 7th ring of hell :skull: either way, vox is not getting out of that one with a flick on the wrist

The correct answer is ofc "Vox immediately fucks off right into the ceiling lights specifically to avoid getting German suplexed all the way into the 7th ring of hell" WHEEZE

But! Yes! It ends probably not as poorly as you are imagining, but that's mostly because me writing smut always turns into an exploration of trust and intimacy, and what's an extension of trust if not getting told "hey. stop. now." by an eldritch horror instead of getting eaten by said eldritch horror?

[officialpenisenvy]

the fact that like 50% of the world's population has a hormonal cycle that drastically alters our body and mind and emotions multiple times every month is so insane who allowed this character design it's so fucked up

ORGAN SYSTEM RANKING:

(these are just my subjective preferences, i don't wanna remove any of them or anything)

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (C): a perfectly functional system, does what it says on the tin, a good baseline to judge the others by.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM (A): fun and intuitive to use, with sophisticated engineering behind it. the choice of using bacteria to assist digestion is ingenious. no notable flaws.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM (D): it does it's job pretty decently, but it's too vulnerable. a cut artery can spell near-certain death, which is unreasonable given how unprotected they are.

URINARY SYSTEM (C): a perfectly respectable system, with an unfortunate name. nothing to write home about.

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM (B): the outer part of the human body, it does a good job at making us look good - it's mediocre on defence. it would've been in C, but hair is cool enough to boost it up.

SKELETAL SYSTEM (S): structural, stylish, spooky, skeletal. S tier.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM (A): helpful for almost anything you'd want to do, and additionally - it's one of the only systems that gets stronger the more it's used.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM (D): occasionally fun, but usually just confusing and distracting. the idea isn't bad but it needs a better execution.

EXOCRINE SYSTEM (F): adds slime where no slime is required. takes your water to make more slime, even when you are low on water. when have you ever wanted more mucus, earwax, eye goop or skin oil? never.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM (S): the bodies army, which suppresses almost all invasions before you even notice them. if you are reading this, then your lymphatic system has never lost a war - if it loses, you die. it has a weapon prepared for every possible enemy.

NERVOUS SYSTEM (A): they managed to make a supercomputer out of wet meat, this would have earned it S-tier if they didn't have to cut a few corners to do so.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (D): it's a perfectly functional and even fun system on it's own, but it's been the root of loads of social problems like sexism, transphobia and homophobia.

[ace-and-ranty]

See, the annoying thing about being ace is, if you ever for any reason want to get in the mood~~~

...then it takes an entire song and dance and bribing your brain and coaxing it along like a recalcitrant cat, because just looking at boobs is not gonna do shit.

What you’re implying is that zarkon is the mischa collins of voltron
