#well before i started menstruating at 10

Diagnosis is...

Jason Todd x Reader

This one is kind of weird i just thought it would be funny and it spiraled from there. You meet your boyfriends family at a very bad time. TW: vomiting, Pregnancy

Jason always took you to the Manor when his family wasn't home. The only member who you were well acquainted with was Alfred and Duke. Even after being together for a year and moving with eachother he wasn't ready for you to meet his family. Truthfully he was worried they would be... too much.

Jason sat you down gently on his bed in his old bedroom.

"You really didn't need to carry me here from the cave I'm not that sick" you sighed as he tucked you into the bed.

"Sure but I wanted to." He went to kiss your lips but you pulled back

"Trust me lover boy you do not want to kiss these lips"

He chuckled and kissed you on the cheek instead "I'll be back at five ok?"

You nodded waiting for him to leave before running to his bathroom and vomiting.

After 10 minutes you went looking around. He only ever took you to the manor when no one else was around but Alfred. But this time even he wasn't here. Bruce was on some big undercover mission in another country basically the enormous amounts of people who were usually here weren't except for Jason and Duke who were taking over the nightly patrol in Gotham. This was perfect for your mission.

You searched every bathroom and medicine cabinet you could find surely in a house this big which was home to the billionaire playboy had to have at least one. You could swear you'd been looking for hours practically torn apart the entire mansion when you heard a sympathic sounding voice say. "Looking for something?"

You turned around to see a redheaded green eyed woman in a wheelchair. Barbara Gordon.

"Uh uhm Sprite?" Definitely not a great answer if you were trying to deceive a world renowned cyber detective who caught you pulling apart her boyfriends medicine cabinet. But she humored you and took you to the kitchen.

"Why sprite?" She said

"The acid from Lemons are neutralising which help relieve nausea. They give it to people in outpatient after things like wisdom tooth extraction at the hospital. Also I don't like lemonade."

"Right, Jason said you weren't feeling well. What are the symptoms?" She was absolutely probing you for information. She saw the frantically thrown about flu medicine and pain killers, you were looking for something specific.

you weren't planning on spilling everything to a complete stranger but you had to tell someone or you would probably go crazy. "Well nausea, slight headache, swollen feet and breasts, late menstruation cycle I would say patient diagnosis would be-"

"Pregnancy" she interrupted her face completely bewildered. Jason Todd got a girl pregnant.

"About 2 to 3 weeks along but I can't know for sure without-"

"A pregnancy test" she interrupted again.

"I would rather go to the Doctor and get a blood test but Jason and I just moved in together and I only realised I was late yesterday."

"We can do a blood test! Downstairs in the cave right now" Barbara immediately started heading to the elevator to the cave.

"That will take a while you don't have a regular pregnancy test here?"

She thought for a second "I don't think so."

So you went down to do the test you were surprised they had every blood test known to man "you know an at home pregnancy test only takes two minutes" you say as you draw your own blood you needed to practice anyway.

"Well we could watch a movie? It's only two hours."

"Yeah only" you sighed and Barbara finished the rest of the process now all you had to do was wait for the results. Your heart almost stopped when you heard the roar of a motorcycle enter the cave thinking it might be Jason.

"It's just the Batgirls their mission ended early." Barbara said pulling up the live security footage of the runway and leaving it up. You almost collapsed from relief.

"Hey Babs! Who's this?" The purple Batgirl said as she took off her Cowl revealing her blonde hair and chipper smile.

"I uhm I'm Y/n"

"Oh Jason's girlfriend! You're sick right?" She glanced over at the screen the blood test now almost halfway done. "What's a HCG test?"

Barbara minimised the window and looked at you as you tried to formulate a lie but it was too late. The other batgirl who must be Cassandra signed something to Stephanie.

"No way!" Her face was in utter disbelief and god you wished Jason had just left you in the apartment. This was not how you wanted to meet his family.

"It's probably nothing it could be anything really." You really wanted to believe that. You wanted to believe it was something crazy rare.

"Like what?" Stephanie said with full curiosity. She definitely didn't seem to realise the invasive nature of that question until Cassandra put a hand on her shoulder. "Right well good luck with that Cass and I are gonna train for a bit."

"Don't worry you can trust them" Barbara's words gave little comfort. Your face was red with embarrassment its not that you didn't trust them it's that you just met them. Their first impression of their brothers girlfriend is that she could be pregnant.

It wasn't long before you heard people talking from the staircase "TIMOTHY BERNIE!"Stephanie yelled "What are you doing here?!"

"Well I was showing Bernard the mansion and i thought id take him to see the cave too i need to check up on a blood test of a rat i found scarecrow experimenting on too. Hey! Are you Y/n?" Tim asked shaking your hand.

You were relieved at the fact that he would be the first family member to not also be wondering whether or not you were pregnant. "It's nice to meet you. Jason talks about you a lot."

"He talks about all of you too I think he's been a bit nervous for us to meet."

"So was Tim. I'm Bernard, Tim's boyfriend" you had been so relieved and distracted by normal conversation without any indication of any possible pregnancy that you didn't see Tim looking at the computers in the med bay.

"Uh who ordered the HCG? Was it an accident or...?"

"HCG? I meant to do a CRP! damn well now I'll know if I'm pregnant or not." At least Stephanie was good at improv

"But this says its y/n's?" Tim said skeptical of the whole situation

"What?! I must of mixed up our blood" ok so she might not win an Oscar but you could work with this.

"Oh yeah I was practicing drawing blood sometimes they have us do it on other med students and if you don't practice uh it's embarrassing." You were definitely not winning an Oscar.

"Right." He was definitely unconvinced. But his angel of a boyfriend noticed your nervous face and came to your rescue.

"Happens to the best of us." He has a very warm and comforting smile Tim has good taste in men.

As time went on your stomach started to churn and you laid back on a medical bed. There was the loud hum of a jet engine and huge doors opening up above you. "Uhh please not Bruce Wayne"

"Bruce Wayne" everyone except Bernard seemed to say in unison "and the results are in."

"I don't want to know" you didnt want this to be such a big deal you didn't want so many people to know and you certainly didn't want Jason's whole family to know before he did.

"Ah miss Y/n I see you've met more of the family" Alfred said walking down from where ever the Jet was parked above you.

"It's been a pleasure" you say truly not wanting to sound rude they had all been very kind to you their timing is just so so poor.

"Ah Jason had told me you're not feeling well. Can I bring you anything Y/n"

"Y/n?" I voice that must belong to Bruce followed behind Alfred. "Oh I didn't know you would be here" Bruce Wayne said cowl in hand his face looking tired. A young looking boy walked towards the bat computer ignoring you. honestly you were grateful for not having to meet another batfamily member.

You were trying to get up but he interrupted "no no please don't get up on my behalf rest its quite late."

You were going to respond but your stomach stirred again and a gurgle went up your throat. Bruce was quick to respond and got you a vomit bag. Great the first thing Bruce Wayne had ever heard from you was the disgusting sound of vomit. "You are quite sick" He put his hand on your forehead automatically. But there was no time to make up an excuse or reason.

"She's not sick, she's pregnant" the young and very rude boy said... definitely Damian.

"Oh uhm is uh.. when did you find out?" Bruce was extremely flustered, but by now you had experienced enough embarrassment for the night and just wanted Jason to come home.

"Just then" with the perfect timing that this family seemed to have you heard Jason and Duke ride into the cave to see an utterly confused Batman standing next to you.

"None of you are supposed to be here." Jason growled as he made his way to you he was about to glare at Bruce when he saw his bright red face he stopped "What's wrong with you?Salina break up with you again?" Jason

"Uhm" Bruce cleared his throat "you're right we're not supposed to be here. We should all go upstairs." He started heading to the stairs but everyone else seemed to be looking at you "now!" He said sternly in his Batman voice the room quickly cleared out after that.

You sighed a breath of relief as Jason sat next to you and pulled you close kissing your temple. "What was his problem?" He asked rubbing your arm and resting his head on your shoulder.

"Well I'm not technically sick."

"Hmm?" He didn't even seemed phased by this he just leaned into you more

"I had to do a test and uh everyone saw the result."

"Is it bad?" This man after a patrol you could swear his head was made of bricks.

"Depends. Do you think its bad that I'm pregnant." You said hesitantly a very small part of you worried that he would say yes but worse is he didn't say anything. "Jason?"

"Uh no!" He moved to face you his forehead pressed against yours "No it's its not bad its just its unexpected and then I'm sorry I'm sorry for all of that and them and wow"

You giggled "Yeah it's not exactly what I was expecting for tonight"

He cupped your cheek and smiled at you "I love you Y/N"

Tears started to well in your eyes "I love you too Jason" He pulled you in for a long kiss. Finally all you wanted all night was to be with him.

Upstairs Dick arrived home to...chaos. Stephanie was talking to Cass about everything they were going to do to prepare for.. something. Tim was yelling at Damian, Barbara and Bernard were telling Duke about the entire night and Bruce sat in an armchair still in complete embarrassment and disbelief.

"Did I miss something?"

[toomiieimagiines]

so it's gonna be quite a weird request but i hope you won't mind it >_<

but what about a reader who is currently on her period and a character (pjsk boys will do, but if it is too much, then as long as you include Rui and Tsukasa it's okay!!!) has to deal with a suddenly change of humour and etc...

feel free to decline my request... it's quite awkward to be honest

have a nice day <333

isn’t weird at all! we all do it! (well us girls anyway, lolol!) ^_^ i was surprised at how many pjsk asks there were!! didn’t know the fandom was this big!! 0_0 KEEP THE REQUESTS COMING! if this post gets enough upvotes, i’ll do a pt 2 with akito and toya!!^3^(ONCE AGAIN, SORRY FOR ANY OOCNESS, AND SORRY MY RUI BANNER STINKS!!^_^”)

Tsukasa Tenma and Rui Kamishiro with a menstruating partner!

Before you tell him what’s happening, he’s FREAKING out.

“Are they mad at me? What’s going on? Am I not funny to them anymore? Was I ever funny to them? AHHHH-“

Really loud screaming…

Decides to just ask you what will make you forgive him after some internal conflict

When you tell him it’s just your hormones beating you up from the inside he immediately inflates again…

Starts taking such good care of you… :(

“Hi honey, do you want a snack or some cuddles or-“

Puts you in a tough place because you’re in such a bad mood, but he’s basically wagging his tail at the thought of making you feel better…

Pounces on top of you so quick if you say you want to cuddle

This sweet boy loves you so much:((

Same as Tsukasa, but isn’t visibly freaked out

Takes the dirty looks in stride in the moment, but when he gets home (after walking you home, of course! he’d never want to leave you alone, even if you’re sour…) it’s a whole other story

He stares at the ceiling, scrolls on his phone, works on some small things, gets distracted- UGH WHERES NENE?!

Texts her frantically

“Nene… as a girl (???) what is happening to my lover? they are acting weird and i am very very worried so please respond…”

“ur an idiot… they’re fine… (¬_¬)“

After a bit of back and forth he decides that he was in fact not crazy and you were just in a rotten mood because your insides were fighting you

When he finally talks to you again he’s so kind

Got you a drink from the vending machine

Low key careful with you though….

He borders on coddling

Will spoon you and put his hands on your tummy

Please don’t tell him that his hands are cold okay? He feels very useful

10/10 boyfriend would recommend

Some headcanons of Ban x Reader but the reader happens to be on their period, please?

Thank you!

Growing Pains

Here you go! This is what I could mostly think of.

Well, Ban doesn’t really know at first. Your pretty good at masking it unless a cramp turned all the way to 10 really makes you keel over, but from there he starts having a pretty good idea. But he has a pretty good idea on how to help you, from good soup down to just general chocolate as he understands that you like that stuff a lot whenever you are on your period.

Ban does end up getting really good at understanding specifically at times every month when you have it, he can even tell before you do. Which ended up being really helpful, as you were usually unprepared.

Hydration is essentionally important, and he will not take excuses. Ban makes sure that you also have good amounts of water, especially with how much you usually complain about having a headache sometimes. So he doesn't take jack shit of your word, and is very insistent about you drinking water when you need to.

He mostly is your servant, as one could call it. Ban does his best to help ease the pain for you, and find ways to help keep the flow to a moderate degree. Ban ends up learning quite a lot about how his cooking can help you, and through nutrients and protein that you can better deal with your period. He is very stubborn in ensuring that you feel the best you can possibly be in spite of your pains.

Ban does try to empathize with you, but he doesn't know what it's like to be on that time of the month. However, his hands make for excellent heating pads.

Whether surprising or not, Ban is actually very sweet to you during the whole thing. Mainly because he does not want to get on your bad side, mood swings or not. Though, he does end up unintentionally being your target, Ban ends up not really caring however because he is immortal after all - physically you can't really hurt him.

Though he still very understanding and compassionate about it regardless, even if he can't completely understanding what you are experiencing. It leads him having to learn much more about your unfortunate once a month circumstances later down the line the longer he was with you, Ban very much appreciates the knowledge.

The man does try to stay with you as much as you want to him too, but he just does get a little confused when you do cry. The sudden bouts of crying is something he can never figure out, though he does his best to calm you down; sometimes mostly with one of your favorite foods/snack.

He mostly does a little bit of everything to help you work through your menstruation, but the one thing he never does is bring up the topic itself. The one time he did, was the last ever mistake he did whenever you were on your period.

Sometimes, a lot of hugging and cuddling is involved. As you had often been distressed without being able to hold him, as you would say. So he just usually indulges in your requests to do so, for him it feels nice to be comfortable with you and still hold you close.

There are moments that Ban decides to go to Merlin for medicines, as she's easily the closest and fastest person he knows for such things. Merlin is usually very reliable for such things, so he comes down with medicines to help alleviate your pains.

One of his go-to's is drawing a bath for you, as he understands somewhat that it in a way helps ease your emotions and steadily relaxes your flow.

Lot's and lots of comfort, and the occasional message. The experience has helped him get a lot better with it.

A Personal, and Final, Reflection on A Certain Fandom

Having spent the past week and a half away from the Tumblr side of the C*b*rp*nk community after a resurgence of old wank (not hashing out the details–IYKYK), I heavily weighed the pros and cons of saying anything else. Ultimately, I decided for my own peace of mind and ability to fully move forward, I do want to say a few things (or a lot of things, given how long this is). This blog is my personal archive first and foremost, and I think writing a “final chapter” will help me find closure. I’m also choosing to publish this because, at the risk of sounding presumptuous, I think my mistakes and subsequent revelations might be good learning experiences for others, too. 

Like many of us, just by the nature of when this game was released, I entered this fandom during a very fragile, tumultuous time in my life–Well, sort of, let me back it up a little: I actually initially entered it during a great time in my life. It was July 2021, I had just enjoyed about 6 weeks off from work after quitting a demanding job that had sucked the life out of me for almost 10 years, and I had started a promising new job. I even bought the game with the first paycheck from said new job!

Unfortunately, while I had been told that this position was temp-to-hire, not only was it not a path to a permanent role, but because I completed all the work in my contract over a month sooner than they anticipated (early September vs late October), I was being let go early because they had nothing else for me to work on. I was literally told over the phone, “You did amazing work, you got us caught up through November, but we don’t have anything else for you.”

Cue about 6 months of recruiters ghosting me, exhausting interview processes, demoralizing rejections, and scam upon scam upon scam, all culminating in me returning to the job I had been so happy to leave a year earlier. And while my old coworkers were ecstatic to have me back, I couldn’t help but feel like a complete failure. I took what I thought was a calculated risk, I thought I could do something better for myself, and I couldn’t. It’s something I’m still struggling with today, honestly.

On top of this, I also experienced a debilitating physical health episode in January 2022 which led to me being effectively bedridden for about 3 weeks. [CW: Menstruation, sexual health] I’m not sure of the exact cause–maybe a bad reaction to emergency contraception, maybe unsafe menstrual underwear, but it resulted in menorrhagia so severe I fainted from blood loss. My insurance had literally just ended, another wave of COVID was hitting, and I didn’t want to risk getting infected sitting in an ER for hours only to rack up a few thousand in debt to get a blood transfusion. So rest, iron supplements, and lots of meat and spinach and orange juice was the best I could do.

All of this led to my world becoming very small. I wasn’t working, I could barely do my hobbies or see my local friends, and simple everyday tasks like showering drained me of all my energy. When I was stuck in bed and could barely keep my eyes open for more than a few hours at a time, gossip was a welcome, low-effort distraction from the physical pain and fear that I might either have to put myself in thousands of dollars of medical debt or risk lifelong damage (or worse) from the blood loss.

I also found myself having groups of friends in a way I’ve never experienced before. I’m extremely introverted (even online, though less so than IRL), I have social anxiety, and the handful of times I have been “in” a group I was never really in it. I was always on the outskirts and usually just close to one or two people, max.

Regretfully, this set the stage for me to get caught up in the culture of rumors and speculation that permeates this fandom more than I think it has any other fandom I’ve been a part of.

Academically, I know about things like groupthink and tribalism, and I could see how those influenced the groups developing in the fandom, but I had no direct, personal experience with those phenomena. I think in conjunction with the other struggles I was dealing with, I ended up being incredibly susceptible to an us-versus-them mentality, which led me to feel justified in being unkind to people I knew had been unkind to my friends, even if deep down I knew what I was doing was antithetical to who I strive to be. 

I don’t share any of this for sympathy points or to smear anyone else or to avoid accountability–I still chose to act like an ass on a couple of occasions, and regardless of what I was going through, that was still inappropriate. I’m still responsible for my own behavior no matter what’s going on. 

But I do want to contextualize my fuck-ups for two reasons:

The first reason is ego-driven, full-stop. Not even gonna gloss it over. I can’t defend being an asshole nor do I want to, but I think it’s normal and healthy to look back on your mistakes and go, damn, why the hell was I acting like this? 

Even on my best days, I can be very stubborn and self-important and pedantic and judgemental, and I certainly can’t say that I’ve never inadvertently offended someone–Sometimes a joke might not land as I hoped. Sometimes I get tangled up in my own thoughts, burdened by an excess of nuance and details, and I express things poorly while I try to account for all sides of things. Sometimes I can get a little too opinionated about blorbo stuff. Sometimes there might just be a full communication breakdown or an insurmountable personality clash–But I can also confidently say that I have acted with good intentions in this fandom far, far more than I have with spite or because of petty rivalries.

And when I did get caught up in the drama and gossip and the wank? I was literally at the lowest point I’d been in a very, very long time. 

Again, because I feel like I can’t say this enough, that doesn’t make acting like a dick in a Discord server any more excusable, that doesn’t mean I didn’t hurt anyone, and that doesn’t mean that someone I hurt during that time has to forgive me or stick around for me to grow. Hurting someone because you’re hurting is still not okay. But I’m pretty sure every single one of us has had a bad day (or two or three or 365 or–) and made an isolated bad decision (or two or three or–) because of it–None of us deserve to be wholly defined by those moments or denied a chance to learn from those mistakes and be better.

And I think the most important takeaway for me personally is that I have learned from these mistakes and I have not repeated them. Some of these mistakes even helped me realize that I needed professional support for my mental health, and they played a role in my seeking medication and therapy last year. I still have a lot of work to do, but the silver lining to all of this is that I am in a much better place today than I was 2 years ago (even if this year also fucking sucks for non-fandom reasons and I would still very much like a goddamn break.)

The other reason I wanted to share my journey of navel-gazing and healing a wounded ego ~*self-discovery*~ is I think there’s a very good chance my story might sound familiar to others in the fandom. Maybe someone else can learn from my hardships and mistakes, too. Maybe you too were dealing with chronic fatigue or mental health issues or financial stress or isolation or all of the above and then some, and it led you to fixate on things that were harmful to you, to form unhealthy relationships with equally hurt people, and to act in a way that you know doesn't reflect who you are. The past several years have been so hard on so many of us, and I think we’ve all brought a lot of pain and misery into the community even if we weren’t trying to.

A somewhat shameful realization I had last year was I could recognize that kind of behavior in other people, but I completely missed it in myself. I could see how people were making this fandom their whole world and how it was so damaging to them, but I was doing the exact same thing and I just let it go completely unchecked because I thought I knew better. It was a brutal lesson in the pitfalls of pride. 

--------

So I was initially thinking at this point, I would take the time to address a few specific lies, rumors, and insinuations that have been said about me over the past couple of years. Because while I was a jerk in a couple of situations, most of the things said about me are exaggerations, if not outright fabrications.

And I did start writing a lot of that out, but as I was doing it, I was just overcome with a huge feeling of OH MY GOD I just don’t fucking care anymore. As one of my dear, long-time fandom friends has pointed out, there’s a great line about just this kind of thing from one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite games: “Why should it [bother me]? They don’t know me. I know me.”

I also really don’t want to run the risk of pulling anyone back into the fray (especially if they’re not even in the fandom anymore or if we’ve talked privately about certain issues) by even alluding to shit that happened years ago.

Instead, I would like to offer three of my big takeaways from the experience of being falsely accused of awful things:

You do not know nearly as much as you think you know about people’s fandom relationships. The one semi-specific thing I will mention is that I had been explicitly named a few times as being in cahoots with people I don’t think I ever even spoke to or that I had already drifted away from–Just because you saw two people existing in the same public space doesn’t mean they’re besties, bestie. Also, friends don’t always have to agree with each other, nor should we be expected to participate in a public spectacle of shaming if we do have a disagreement. People are allowed to resolve their differences privately.  

Not all conflicts/disagreements are inherently abusive or toxic. When you are hurting or dealing with unresolved trauma or starting to confront uncomfortable truths about yourself, the slightest disagreement can feel like a personal attack, but that doesn’t mean it is. Sometimes differences might be irreconcilable, but sometimes they might not be if you don’t automatically assume the worst of someone with a different perspective than you. Sometimes we just need to give the other person a little grace and the benefit of the doubt that they’re doing their best. And sometimes we might need to consider that it’s actually our own behavior driving the conflict and not the other person.

Even in situations when someone has clearly been unfairly targeted/victimized, that doesn’t mean they can’t also be a perpetrator of harassment/abuse to someone else. Victim and abuser are not mutually exclusive roles. I would wager a lot of us are familiar with the cyclical nature of abuse, and to quote a line from one of my favorite movies (admittedly a bit of a flippant line in the context of the film, but it still rings true): hurt people hurt people. Accountability for shitty behavior is never conditional, regardless of the pain we’re experiencing. 

--------

I titled this my final reflection, and I want to clarify what that means:

First of all, I’m not leaving this fandom (don’t everyone clap at once ha ha ha). I’ve been in various online fandoms since the early 00s, and while this has been one of the more challenging communities for me to navigate, it’s not enough to make me give up something I love this much. My blorbos are my perpetual muses, and I feel like virtual photography is the creative outlet I’ve been searching for my entire life. I love this game and hobby too much to stop creating and sharing.

I’m also not leaving Tumblr. While I’ve had this specific account since 2016, I’ve been here since 2010–Tumblr is not just this fandom for me. I have many friends (some I’ve known since my original account in 2010!) from other fandoms, and I’m not losing the best place to hang out with other people who are special to me just because one fandom got a little unpleasant. (I mean, look, I weathered the DA fandom here circa 2012-2015–This ain’t my first rodeo.) I also have a lot of hope for the Tumblr Communities feature, and I’m really hoping the VP community we’ve set up can continue to grow and flourish.

But I am no longer addressing any of this wank. If you have a problem with something I’ve done or said to you and you want to address it with me directly (preferably in a private space just so we don’t keep putting this shit on people’s dashboards), I am open to conversation and apologizing where needed.

Otherwise, this is the last time I’m talking about it anywhere. Tumblr, Twitter, Discord, publicly, privately–I’m done. I’m washing my hands of it. I don’t want to hear anything else about what other people have done or who they’re friends with or who they’re following or what they’re saying about me or my friends or any of it. This bullshit has taken up too much of my time and energy, and I have very important smutty shots to take. 

And I am probably going to continue to be less active in the fandom on Tumblr, at least for a while. You probably won’t see me here much until September at the earliest. This time away has been really good for me, and I think I need to continue with limited Tumblring and making the time I am here more structured. Plus, with some of my other fave video game series returning this fall, my blog will probably shift back to a more well-balanced multi-fandom space. 

I’m also going to need to diversify my dash a little bit more, which means I will likely end up unfollowing some mutuals, particularly if we don’t interact often, if you don’t tag, or if I see any mention of fandom drama–It’s nothing personal, but I know breaking mutualship can hurt a little, so if following me after that makes you uncomfortable in any way, please don’t feel like you have to stick around. I totally get it. Similarly, if it would make you uncomfortable for me to continue to interact with your posts after unfollowing (because I probably will if you post in certain tags), please feel free to block me. 

Okay. Christ, that was long. Shut the fuck up already, right? This is why I can't do social media with character limits. ghdfjgjhkfdgkfdg

Seriously, though, that's it. People are welcome to comment on this post if they want, but I really have nothing else to say about any of this so please don’t be offended if I don’t reply. I’m not ignoring you, I’m just… Well, done.

[yaksha-lover]

Yo yo sorry if this ask is odd I have experienced hell in the past few days as per the monthly schedule and since I'm fixated upon your vampire AU I was wondering if you'd be cool with me sending in an ask about what it'd be like to deal with having a period when surrounded by vampires.

(gonna refer to the reader as 'the resident human' using they/them pronouns sorry if it gets a bit muddled idk how to word this ask haha)

Content warning: I'm gonna mention periods / shark week / the blood moon / womb blender hours / scheduled monthly hell, etc.

From 1-10 how would you rate how sucky it'd be to have a period in a house full of vampires? Like, on one hand, some of them are probably either avoiding (Riddle) or even stalking (Rook perhaps) their resident human...

But on the other hand, if the human in cramp hell - I'm under the impression that the vampire bites could potentially counteract that to some degree right? Like they'd get rid of some of the pain (rip my anemic ass tho lmao)

Also there's the fact that Lilia's been around long enough to know what's going on and, as per the vampire sense of smell and whatnot, I'd like to imagine he knows before it starts and necessary supplies just sorta show up wherever the resident human will find them when they need them. Plus he's making sure they eat plenty of spinach or similar foods they might need and whatnot.

Uhhh I can't think of anything else lol. Sorry if this was an odd ask, it's kinda been on my mind a while so I figured I might as well share my thoughts. Have a nice day and stay hydrated ( ・⁠∀⁠・⁠) 👍

Lmao you’re all good, I’ve actually answered a couple of asks about periods before: x x

tw: periods, slightly gross (??)

I would say though, because period blood isn’t the same as regular blood, it’s not going to make them act so differently like they would if you had a wound. However, it’s kinda similar so (this might be gross) but I feel like vampires might like the smell of the pheromones cause heightened sense of smell. In that sense, it’s more like a perfume than a food, yk?

Some more shy would definitely blush and avoid MC during this time (Riddle like you mentioned, Adeuce, Jack, Epel, Idia, Sebek).

The more bold vampires would probably act more clingy than usual (Leona, Floyd, Rook) - They are also volunteering their bite to help you out. Despite their unashamed behaviour, they will make sure to keep you comfortable and not take too much blood.

The rest are pretty normal I think, they can control themselves and have the decency to ignore it.

Lilia’s dad energy comes out. You ask him to buy you pads one time and suddenly there’s an entire closet full of a million different supplies, literally anything you could need. Him and the others would be pretty sympathetic to your plights and would be happy to take care of anything you need.

Also you don’t need to track your cycle, Lilia would just be like, hey btw you’re menstruating next week. He knows before you do lol.

So if 1 is hell and 10 is a normal day, I feel like it’s a solid 7/10 at least. You might have to deal with some clingy and awkward guys, but even someone like Leona would take care of you, even if he grumbled while doing it lol.

can we have some mtp boys (separate) on how they’d treat a fem! Reader who is on her period. You don’t need to make it historically accurate & if you’d prefer, you can make it modern au. Thank you!!!

A/N: I did this in a modern AU as suggested because I have no idea how people would have dealt with periods in the 19th century

Characters: William James Moriarty x fem! Reader , Albert James Moriarty x fem! Reader ,Louis James Moriarty x fem! Reader (separate)

Format: headcannons

Genre: hurt/ comfort, fluff

Prompt: the Moriarty brothers with a reader who is on their period.

Warnings: reader is afab, reader is female, established relationships, periods/menstruation etc.

LOUIS would be such a good partner in general so when you’re on your period? He is doing everything!

He’s already very much a househusband male wife kind of guy but it just gets so much more malewifey when you’re on your period

Oh you’re hot water bottle got slightly less warm? Louis is filling it up for your instantly

He will literally shower you in heating pads

I don’t think he’d be very physically affectionate in general, his love language is definitely acts of service and it’s very evident all the time, but if you ask to be held, hold you he will.

He’ll make you anything you want to eat no matter how strange (I always get really weird cravings on my period so if you do aswell, be prepared because Louis will stop at nothing to make you happy)

He has a whole storage cupboard packed with pads and tampons and whatever else you may use, all with your preferred sizes and brands because he’s just that caring. You never run out of pads or tampons with him around.

If any ones annoying you, he’ll be super pissed off and will actually get into a fight for your sake.

If you’re feeling emotional, he’ll be by your side reassuring you that everything’s okay. He’s a bit emotionally constipated but he tries his best for you.

If you ever need sheets to be washed or clothes to be cleaned, he won’t mind at all and he will definitely not get upset.

He himself doesn’t go out unless necessary so he’ll try stay at home with you all the time, just in case you need something (even if you insist that you’re fine)

Overall rating? 10/10 wifey material

WILLIAM probably knows more about your period than you do. Not in a gross mansplaining way but in a well educated husband kind of way

Like he definitely knows when you’re going to start you’re period based on symptoms and stuff before you get that little red surprise in your underwear. Worst feeling tbh.

He helps you learn how to track your cycle and if you’re an inconsistent period girlie like myself, he’s a great help. Imagine just getting ready to go out and then William tells you to make sure to take a pad/tampon/cup with you before you leave 💀

He pampers you too, especially if you live together, but not in the same way louis does.

He’s a bit more strict when it comes to what you should and shouldn’t eat (it’s the protective teacher in him). Liam makes you take magnesium supplements and makes sure you eat healthy even if you’re craving junk food so your cramps don’t get worse.

He’s probably calculated the perfect temperature for your heat pad/hot water bottle 😭

Probably a little more affectionate than his younger brother would be. If you’re complaining about being cold or uncomfortable, he’d put whatever book he’s reading down and hold his arms wide open for you. William absentmindedly rubs your back while listening to you complain about having a uterus

Definitely pressed kisses to your forehead while you ramble like the old fashioned lover he is 🤭

He makes sure to buy you really good quality pads/tampons and is sure to memorise which brands or types you prefer. Might slip a chocolate bar in there too. He also buys you painkillers and gives you the correct doses and everything at the right times

If you don’t feel like speaking much (he loves talking to you for some reason. its adorable) he gets a little upset but he’s a surprisingly good communicator. He doesn’t want to make you feel uneasy and bless his heart, he does all the chores and everything so you don’t have to suffer further while your uterus tries to fucking kill you

Overall rating? ∞/10 (I am totally not biased) I want to marry him idc if he’s a drawing

ALBERT is stupid. I’m sorry that’s a mean way to start off

I think we can all agree he has OCD or OCPD but he’s so sweet to you despite some seeing periods as a ‘Filthy’ thing.

You bled through the sheets? He’ll calmly help you fix that dw sweetie. If you bleed through your pants in public and anyone gives you any dirty looks or some weird shit because people hate uterus havers, he’s not called one of the most unhinged mtp characters for nothing 😊

Ok but this man knows nothing about periods though. I’m so sorry. Like you had to explain to him that no you can’t hold in the blood nor do you use your pad as a bandaid of some sort

Would probably send you one of these :(yes I made that)

He needs Louis to go shopping with him to help get you stuff because this man is smart enough for eton but not enough to know that different colours on pad packages are not flavours 🙄

Also he’s a shit cook so you still have to do that if u don’t wanna starve

Probably the most affectionate out of the brothers. He’s very cuddly with you when you need him to be (mainly because he feels bad for being so damn useless)

Overall rating? 2/10 💀

to care for

pairing: non-idol!bang chan x gn!reader [reader has a uterus]

word count: ~0.8k

warnings: menstruation warning (talks of cramps/flow)!! also literally no proofreading i can’t be bothered rn. mentions of bathing + reader having their hair washed (no sexual nudity at all, just chris caring for reader).

daisy’s notes: i want to go back to bed so bad but its been taken over by my cats for rn and also i have something in the oven :/ smh!!

Chris was probably one of the sweetest boyfriends in the world. This, of course, was true for various reasons... but always seemed to be most apparent when you were dealing with your cycle.

You’d texted him before you left work that you felt like garbage after everything you’d gone through. You swore that your pain medicine never kicked in when your cramps were at their worst, you were having a heavier day than usual, and all you wanted was to go home and crash and maybe curl up in your boyfriend’s arms for a few hours. The normal “my period sucks today” routine, in your opinion.

Your text to him had been short and simple: ouchie :(

Chris knew your code well. How bad?

So you busted out the number scale: 8-9, might be a 10 by the time i get home.

From the moment you walked in, Chris was at full attention for you. “There’s a bath drawn for you,” he said, “I’ll come wash your hair in a second, yeah? I ordered your favorite tonight--and I ran out to get more ice cream for you,” he planted a kiss against your forehead, taking full advantage of the little step upward at the entrance of your apartment.

(Translation: Chris was busting out all the stops to comfort you since you needed it. He wouldn’t do it at every 10 until he saw you, but when you busted out a 10 while on your period... The guy knew.)

So you undressed as you entered the bathroom, spotting where Chris had brought in your cozier pajamas and one of his hoodies before neatly setting it aside. You pressed your head back against the tile as you listened to the sound of Chris getting your takeout before you listened to each quiet step as he made his way into the bathroom. Most days, you’d tease him about drawing a bath just to see you naked. Something about the draining parts of today seemed to start hitting you all at once, and you merely mumbled your thanks to him when he pressed a gentle kiss against your forehead.

“Today’s a bad one, huh?” He said, getting the shower head and your shampoo bottle. “It’s okay,” he pressed another kiss into your temple. “I’ve got you.”

You let him instruct you through each motion--sitting forward, leaning your head back, and everything else. This wasn’t the first time he’d washed your hair for you in general, and you could easily recount times where you’d taken care of him in the same way. Sometimes in the shower together, other times where you pulled a chair in and let him recline back while your fingers worked their magic. Chris carefully massaged your scalp, washing your hair the way you’d taught him to, never pulling too hard since he knew how sensitive you could be.

“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked, the fruity scent of your shampoo filling the air for the second time. “Work, I mean.”

You let out a tiny groan, and his chuckle managed to tug a smile onto your face. Even after all the stress, just hearing his laughter in any form was enough to brighten your day a little.

“Alright,” he said. “I get it.” He kissed your cheek again, turning the shower head back on to rinse your hair again. “I’m gonna go get the water bottle for you and I promise I won’t burn my hand this time.”

(You snorted a little at the reminder of the last time Chris tried to fill it. There was a reason you used the countertop boiler for it instead of the pan he tried using.)

He planted one last kiss against your lips, telling you to take your time as he left you there. Yet soon enough, you were dry and dressed in comfy clothing and making your way out to crash on the couch next to Chris--who’d already pulled up a streaming service so that the two of you could watch movies together. Despite the takeout sitting on the table in front of you, you opted to curl up in his arms first, burying your face into his neck. He curled an arm around you, setting aside the remote a moment later in favor of holding you.

“Better?”

You nodded. “A little.”

“I’ve got you,” he promised, pulling you in a little closer. He kissed your cheek again, tracing circles onto your arm with his thumb.

“I know,” you mumbled, arms wrapping a little tighter around him. “I love you.”

You could hear his smile in his voice, “I love you, too,” he said, and then drew back. “Let’s eat before it gets cold, yeah? You can pick whatever movie you want.”

So I actually have a separate hymen and want to talk a little about it and ask a question.

I first started my period at 12, and that was no big deal. It was always spaced out by about 6 months. But when I started synchronized swimming and water polo, it became a problem. I had tried to use tampons, but my body just wouldn't let me. My mom kept telling me I must've been too tensed up. Finally, when I was 15, I was able to use one so I could go to a pool party.

Party ended, I got home, tried to change the tampon...

And I couldn't.

I kept trying to remove it, but it felt like it was caught on something. So my mom and I went to the ER and the lady who helped me was very kind and suggested I use sports tampons due to how they absorb and open up.

A few other instances of things feeling like they got "hooked" on something and finally feeling around, I realized there was that extra tissue there.

Even with tampons that don't unfurl like a massive block of cotton, it still hurts and takes me a few tries to remove tampons, but the problem is that I'm terrified of surgery. I know it would improve my quality of life in regards to menstruation, but I don't know how to broach the topic with family (fyi I am an adult, but still live with my parents and I am unable to drive) or my doctor.

Do you have any advice on how to bring it up and what to expect/how to not be so nervous?

Also, apologies for the long ask!

Hi Anon!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

I will share one with you: I also had a septate hymen, and I know exactly what you're talking about with the pain of tampon use. I lived with it for years - even managing to have sex around it, until one day it finally snapped, causing a lot of bleeding and pain. The result was a lot of scar tissue, that caused painful intercourse for years. All of which I thought was completely normal, because no one ever told me otherwise. When I finally had the procedure (called a "hymenotomy") to remove the extra tissue, it changed my life.

Because I had that experience, I can also tell you what will happen with a hymenotomy. I hope reading this will help ease your anxiety:

You'll go to the facility where your doctor performs procedures (may be a hospital, outpatient clinic, or surgical center). You'll be asked to put on a gown and sit on a gurney. They'll probably cover you in warm blankets. A nurse will give you an IV. Then, they will either wheel or walk you down to the procedure room. You'll be asked to sit on a high table, and probably to scoot your bottom close to the edge. Your doctor will be there, as well as an anesthetist and a nurse. They will put a mask over your face, and have you count back from 10. You'll get to about 8 or 7 before you get SO TIRED you fall quickly into the best sleep you've ever had. When you wake up, it will be like no time passed, and it will be done. The postprocedure discomfort is pretty mild and can be handled with Tylenol. You may have a couple of stitches, which will either dissolve on their own, or may be the kind the doctor will remove at a follow-up to check your healing. And then you'll never have to worry about snagging tampons ever again!

---

Now, Anon, how to bring it up?

Do you currently see a gynecologic healthcare provider? If not, that's where you need to start. As an adult with a vagina, you should regularly see one for well-woman care and screenings. If you need your parents' help finding one, you don't need to share any information beyond "current best practice guidelines state that I should be receiving gynecologic care and I would like to do so." You're entitled to medical confidentiality, even from parents, even from parents you live with and whose insurance you are on, and who drive you places.

Once you've gotten an appointment with a gynecologic provider, I think you'll find the topic can come up quite naturally. The provider will ask if you have any concerns you want to discuss. You will want to tell a provider about your issues with an obstruction before they perform any kind of exam - and it should be visually obvious to a provider as well. (The provider will always look before touching, and warn you every step of the way). The provider will then have a conversation with you about your options, and give you the information you need to make a decision. She should also be able to help you decide how much you need or want to explain to your parents.

I hope this was helpful to you, and maybe ameliorated a tiny bit of your anxiety. The unknown is so much scarier than the real thing!

The Hidden Struggles of Mood Swings

Mood swings are sudden changes in a person’s emotional state. These shifts can be triggered by various factors, including mental health issues and physical conditions, affecting both males and females. It's ironic how society has evolved in its perception of such issues. In the past, they were often ignored, but today they are widely acknowledged and even joked about through memes and social media.

While it’s easy to find information about mood swings online, is it really that simple to address them? About 90% of women experience some PMS-like symptoms before their periods, with the severity of these symptoms varying from month to month. These symptoms can worsen or improve with age.

Hormonal shifts play a significant role in mood changes, particularly in females who experience these shifts more frequently during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. These changes can lead to significant emotional fluctuations, impacting daily life and interactions.

Personally, I believe that while 90% of women suffer from hormonal shifts, only 10% can comfortably express their feelings about it. I’m among those who struggle. As a 20-year-old woman, I deal with the challenging cycle of menstruation and mood swings, which affects not only my well-being but also my relationships. I often have negative thoughts about myself, my present, and my future. Despite trying various methods like healthy eating, exercising, meditating, journaling, and opening up to close friends, nothing has significantly helped. In some cases, these efforts have even strained my relationships. I've been stuck in this cycle for 2-3 years now.

Experiencing hormonal changes for at least three weeks—before, during, and after a period—is honestly dreadful for me. Women are often more emotionally vulnerable compared to men and tend to overthink, which can lead to feelings of insecurity and under confidence. This impacts both our professional and personal lives, creating more anxiety about our goals and achievements. This anxiety fuels overthinking, perpetuating the cycle.

I don't want to ruin any more relationships or overthink random, improbable situations. I just want to live a normal life, present in reality, enjoying the small things, and noticing the little moments that make life beautiful. I want all the hustle and bustle in my mind to stop because it has started to hurt me internally. I will never stop striving for peaceful happiness, having fun, and not missing out on the things that bring me joy, want to desperately fix my relationship. Writing helps me feel heard and understood, even if anonymously. It is a step towards finding inner peace and enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

Being from India, finding discreet solutions to this big issue is very challenging. Seeking help without anyone knowing or judging is difficult. I am not well aware of the available resources, nor do I have the privilege to seek professional help. However, what I can do is write about it and express myself anonymously, knowing that I have shared my feelings somewhere with someone.

I am just a girl!

Posting meme- CHRISJEN AVASARALA !!!!!!!!! (from runawaynun)

CHRISJEN AVASARALA !!!!!!!!! (from runawaynun)

Runawaynun your Expanse vids are amazing, everyone needs to watch them!!

Okay I fucking LOVE Chrisjen Avasarala. I love her in the show, I love her in the books. I fucking love where she starts at the beginning of the series and where she ends up—both in the show, and in the books Shohreh portrayed her beyond perfection. Her leadership style makes my eyes pop and I just love how she commands a room and is trying her fucking best despite all the shit happening. Her wardrobe. Her attitude. HER EVERYTHING. *flails a lot*

I watched season 1 of The Expanse and enjoyed it enough to want to read the first book after I finished the season. Just to hold me over until the second season. Well…I read the first book and then gobbled up the second book Caliban’s War. I lost my utter fucking mind when Chrisjen met Bobbie and then spent the rest of the hiatus waiting and salivating for Bobbie and Chrisjen scenes. THEY WERE MAGNIFICENT. Season 2 was incredible. 10/10 amazing stuff.

One thing that was readily notable after I read the first three books and continued to wait for the show to return, is how much cursing they wrote out of her dialogue in season 1. There was a noticeable uptick in her salty language once the show moved to Amazon and for that I am grateful (but still fuck Jeff Bezos, and I know the irony wasn’t lost on the authors that a real-life inspiration for Jules-Pierre Mao saved their show).

Anyway, I love the series but also the trilogies have some AMAZING QUOTES. Here are a few that I’ll share from the books. ItReachesOut compiled most of these on motivational posters which is linked below.

“My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.” ― Chrisjen Avasarala, Babylon's Ashes

“…and a familiar voice was coming from the terminal, "Going to be monitoring anything we fucking say. If you wanted to discuss menstruation at great length and detail, this is probably our best chance. He's always been squeamish about women. And no one likes a Peeping Tom, even if he is Prime Minister.” ― Chrisjen Avasarala, Nemesis Games

“It'd be a better world if there was always at least one right answer instead of a basket of fucked.” ― Chrisjen Avasarala

Realizing you've got shit on your fingers is the first step to washing your hands. -Chrisjen Avasarala

Always good to have a penis in uniform in the room. -Chrisjen Avasarala

I don't give a fuck whose birthday it is, you make this happen before my meeting is over or I'll have your nuts as paperweights. -Chrisjen Avasarala

I have crates of anti-herpes drugs that are more legitimate than you are. -Chrisjen Avasarala

I don't mean that they all fuck men. I mean they're all men, the fuckers. -Chrisjen Avasarala

That man's asshole must be tight enough right now to bend space. -Chrisjen Avasarala

Try not to put your dick in this. It's fucked enough already. -Chrisjen Avasarala

runawaynun's AMAZING EXPANSE VIDS:

Sexy Back (Chrisjen) THIS COVER is fucking brilliant.

Solid (Bobbie/Chrisjen) THEM!! god I love Bobbie.

Poor Atlas (Chrisjen) the lyrics and tone of this song is so devastatingly perfect omg

Thes are all STUNNING incredible amazing frothingly good Expanse vids with Chrisjen! runawaynun also has some delicious-looking femslash fic I have not dove into yet cause I haven't really had the brain to read Expanse fic but OH MY GODDDD. I love Chrisjen Avasarala.

What is the definition of a malefic moon?

The article is purely for Vedic astrologers: which moon is harmful

The day before, my colleague-astrologer and I were vigorously discussing which Moon is unfavorable. I am sure that many Vedic astrologers will be surprised, but what is there to argue, and so everything is clear.

After all, everything is clearly stated in the BPHS:

3: 11. BENEFICIOUS AND BENEFICIOUS PLANETS: Of these grahas, Surya [Sun], Shani [Saturn], Mangala [Mars], waning Chandra [Moon], Rahu and Ketu are "evil"; and the rest - full Chandra [Moon], Buddha [Mercury], Guru [Jupiter] and Shukra [Venus] - are "beneficial". Buddha [Mercury] in conjunction with a pernicious graha becomes pernicious.

And the generally accepted interpretation of this sloka regarding the Moon is as follows:

Only the growing Moon is beneficial, that is, the Moon that occupies the first 7 signs from the sign of the Sun. If the Sun is in Aries, then the Moon will be growing in signs from Aries to Libra.

Yes, and I thought so, I confess, somehow I didn’t really go into the details of this description of the Moon by the sage Parashara. Although, in practice, I often encountered the fact that this rule did not work in full.

I decided to double-check the accuracy of this judgment and climbed into the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra in Sanskrit, where I saw the following words in this sloka:

Krishana Chandra - this is how the "waning moon" is described.

Notice!

Krishana Chandra indicates Parashara. No relation to the sun

It is we, modern astrologers, who later connected the Sun and the Moon.

There is no mention of the Sun at all!

Krishana - translates as: 1) stunted, stunted. 2) truncated.

The moon in BPHS is called - nisakara - making night, creating darkness.

And based on this translation, we can draw an unexpected conclusion:

"Wanning Moon" is when the length of the night becomes shorter.

That is, from the winter solstice to the summer solstice.

After the winter solstice, the night shortens, that is, the moon withers.

The waxing and waning moon has a purely astronomical explanation.

The moon is favorable from the summer solstice to the winter solstice.

From the end of 3 characters to the beginning of 10 characters.

Rather like this:

The waning malefic Moon - from Capricorn to Gemini.

Full auspicious Moon - from Cancer to Sagittarius.

Everything is simple!

For ancient astrologers, these qualities of the Moon were understandable and natural, they did not need to be further explained, therefore Parasara is so short.

In addition, the moon - symbolizes the harvest.

In the period from June (Cancer) to November (Sagittarius) is the harvest and processing of the crop.

Summer and autumn are favorable periods for the moon. Winter and Spring, not so much.

Yes, and in the human body, the Moon, which is responsible for blood, is abundant and needed from 4 to 9 sign: starting from the chest, ending with the hips.

Below the knees (10, 11, 12 signs) - an abundance of blood is detrimental. Also, excess blood in the head (Aries) can lead to a stroke.

But the Moon is exalted in Taurus, despite the fact that this sign is in the zone of the Moon's perniciousness. This is due to the fact that in Taurus the length of the night is already quite long and the fact that this sign is responsible for nutrition, for food, and the Moon, as the main breadwinner, is very strong and important here. There is another factor - astronomical - the Moon in the sign of Taurus is closest to the Earth.

The Moon falls in Scorpio, which is also responsible for menstruation, and excessive bleeding in "these days" is not very good.

It turns out that the Moon during the day is strong and favorable from noon to midnight: afternoon, evening and early night. Well, in the morning, during breakfast.

So.

The moon is bad

in Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and Gemini.

The degree of its perniciousness increases in that order.

The Blessing Moon is in the following signs:

Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius.

On this basis, we can now justify the validity of the opinion of some astrologers that the planets in the signs opposite their mulatrikon (proper signs) are unfavorable.

For Venus, it is not very "comfortable" in Aries and in Scorpio, in Martian signs that are in opposition to Libra and Taurus, respectively.

Mars also feels uncomfortable in these signs of Venus.

Saturn is then weak in Cancer and Leo.

Jupiter in Gemini and Virgo.

Mercury is awkward in Jupiterian signs: Sagittarius and Pisces.

Aquarius is a sign where the Sun is weak, it turns out.

And it seems that this rule also applies to the position of the planets in the corresponding houses of the horoscope:

Icy Saturn is uncomfortable in hot 4th and 5th houses (Cancer and Leo).

Jupiter cannot turn around in full in 3 and 6 houses (Gemini, Virgo).

Here are some interesting conclusions that can be drawn by carefully and deeply analyzing the main Jyotish treatise - Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra.

A real Vedic astrologer should base his activities mainly on this ancient astrological textbook, and not on some incomprehensible medieval treatises.

And further.

If this rule for the Moon does not work in your horoscopes, then this means that you have compiled a horoscope incorrectly

Period Post!

I love love love when I begin my bleeding cycle. It’s when I am the most in tune with mind, body, soul and universe. It wasn’t always this way tho.

Ever since I started menstruating (at age 10 I think) my periods were heavy metal, meaning I would bleed through both a tampon and a pad and be in so much pain I physically couldn’t stand up straight. Everything was awful on my period and finally my mom brought me in to the doctor to see what we could do. He prescribed me birth control. Surprised? Probably not. Womben are so quickly given pills and heavy medications to put into their bodies when they simply just need to know what’s going on. He never walked me through balancing my hormones or discussed progesterone or nothing. Gave me this pill, it’ll fix all my problems. For a while I loved the pill, I set an alarm on my phone, took it every day, my doctor gave me a type I would stack for three months and then stop taking them for a week so I could bleed. That week was always fucked cus it takes a long time to get out of your system so by the time I would bleed I would start taking the pills again. I’m gonna wrap it up: I took birth control for about 12 years.

Fast forward: I’ve come off the pill, spent the time necessary to cleanse my body of the pill. My periods took a while to be some regular and coming off the pill they were just as heavy and painful as before. The things that changed my life are proper education, appreciation for my womb, following the right people on social media, herbal remedies and rituals.

It’s so important to learn that the time that we run on is built around mens bodies, as are most things. We have different cycles and our timing is divine and if we can connect to it, life gets easier. Learn the 4 phases of your cycle; inner summer, inner fall, inner winter and inner spring. I’m in spring rn and I’m feeling like I’m blossoming into my next phase of life, energetic, hot af, and connected.

Herbal medicine has impacted my life in many ways but nothing seems as significant as my period. One cup of this tea and my cramps are completely GONE! Use equal parts chopped cinnamon bark and chopped dried ginger or freshly grated ginger root and honey to taste if you like. For one cup of tea use 1 teaspoon of ingredients. I have this tea every bleed and it instantly helps.

A big thing I learned is you want to keep your womb warm to avoid pains. Keep your feet warm, don’t eat cold foods, your jaw and pelvis are connected so always try to relax your jaw, singing and sighing are wonderful. Also you are what you eat (in the nicest way) so if you haven’t already made a change to be more aware of what your putting in your body definitely do it now. What you intake will be the factors that balance your hormones. Something important to note is food is everything that is consumed; what you eat, what you watch, what you listen to and what you say to yourself.

A huge part is learning to love your period. Menstruation is the beginning of time and your womb is a portal. Around every 28 days depending on your own cycle, you go through death and rebirth. It’s sacred and powerful. Look into some ancient stories of worshipping menstrual blood and figure out some rituals and practices that inspire you. For example I love giving my blood back to the earth. I free bleed so I rinse my underwear in water in a jar and then pour the water onto my plants or the trees roots outside. Once your blood is healthy and free of toxins from pills and what not, it has so many healing factors for life in all aspects. I also love to use my finger to gently collect some blood directly from my body and place a dot on my forehead where the third eye is. It’s beneficial as a face mask as well. Also note that your first bleed is the most powerful!

I got so much important and beneficial info from Womben Wellness who you can find on Instagram under that name and also Facebook. The womban that runs it name is Usha and she does actual courses on this type of shit! She also does free educational zoom calls every once in a while that I tune in to. You could just google Womben Wellness as well, but definitely look into her she’s amazing. I get my divine love for my cycle from Goddess Molding who you can find on Instagram as well with that name, she also has a website where she sells sacred ceremony handmade items. She’s the one that shared all those bullet points in the last photo.

I could go on for EVER about this stuff, I’m so passionate about it now that I’ve learned some basic stuff that they didn’t teach us. I’m worried I’ve gone on too long so I’m finishing up now. Definitely check out those womben I recommended, they will explain everything a lot better and more beautiful than I did. Also note that every body is different and responds in different ways. It’s really figuring out what path YOU should take, what works for your body specifically and taking responsibility for your health. No one else is going to fix your body for you, and that was the hardest pill to swallow. Also remember that your womb is not separate from your body, any other health issues you have could be impacting your period. Going down this road could expose a lot of other health issues.

After beating two of the outnumbering three guards.

Wolf got the key from the final guard and unlocked the door, opening the doors.

He noticed Diane backing away and having her eyes closed as he got in and walked over to her.

However, he got to work on unlocking the cuffs on her wrists, making it sound of the clicks. He saw Diane slowly opening her eyes to see her wrist was no longer cuffed and looked at him.

He was about to open his mouth and try to speak but then the last guard jumped and fainted, pulling the trigger of his gun and releasing the dart.

The tranquilizer dart hit Daine’s shoulder, making her blackout and fell back to her seat.

Wolf looked around to see who made the guard faint and released the dart.

He saw Webs on the door. “Webs!” they exclaimed angrily at her. “It was an accident!” Webs exclaimed back, pointing at the guard on the ground.

Then they both looked at Diane's unconscious body.

Wolf took the dart out of her shoulder and picked her up, which was a bit heavy. “Man, had she been working out or something." Wolf said, giving Diane a piggyback ride and got out of the van.

Snake helped them out of the van as Shark walked over, dragging the two knocked out guards. Piranha was on his shoulder.

“What happened?!” Shark and Piranha exclaimed in confusion, pointing at the fainted guard and blackout Diane.

Wolf looked at Webs, who sighed in annoyance. “When I went to see what was happening over here and got on the door, apparently the guard was afraid of spiders and fainted.” she explained, walking on the roof of the van to get to Shark and hopping on his shoulder. “The guard fired his dart gun and it hit her, so she blacked out.”

"In anyways, we gotta get out of here before any more trouble is done." Snake said, looking around to make sure that no other cars have driven past yet.

Shark nodded and put all three guards in the van before closing the doors.

They all got out of the area and went to the hiding spot of their car. They get to the hiding spot of the car and begin figuring out how to put Diane in the car.

“We could put her in the back with me.” Shark suggested, looking at them. “It’s so that if she has a problem or something, I can help.”

"Good idea, Lou." Webs said, nodded.

They got in the car and drove out of there.

Wolf was in the driver's seat, driving, Snake in the passenger seat and Piranha in the middle seat in between the two, Shark and Webs were in the back to check on Diane's body and pulse was still pumping.

The fox’s body was fine and her pulse was still pumping.

"Her body is still ok, but we better check the brian's activity."

“You’re not doing that in the car!” Wolf warned, looking at them in the rearview mirror before looking back at the road.

"Ok, ok, we AREN'T going to do it in the car, we meant at home." Webs explained. "but we might have to get her cleaned up."

Shark nodded. “Yeah.”

They all notice how dirty Diane is all night and she is still wearing the ruined gala uniform and still barefooted.

“I’m just going to do the cleaning like most veteran hospitals do.” Shark started, looking at the others.

Then there was an awkward chuckle from Webs that got everyone’s attention. “Is there something you want to talk about, Webs?” Wolf asked as he drove.

"Well… I kind of hacked into Diane's secret hygiene for when she took a bath or shower." Webs said, embarrassedly.

“Stefaine!” all four teammates exclaimed at her.

"I'm sorry, curiosity just got the best of me!" Webs exclaimed back.

Snake sighed and looked at her. “Webs, I know it’s not easy, but…” he started but didn’t know what else to say. "Right, NOT to invade private lives. Even though we’re the government. I remember." Webs finished, nodding.

Everyone got quiet after a bit, making it a bit awkward

Wolf was worried about Diane. Actually all of them were worried.

◇

Once they make it back home, the first thing they need to do is to get Diane clean up in the bathroom.

"Shark, get the bath ready." Webs said as everyone all got their masks off.

Shark nodded and went to the bathroom to get the bath ready. Shark got to the bathroom and got some warm water running in the tub. He put some bubbles and scented.

Wolf took Diane to the bathroom and got her dress off while he had eyes closed not wanting to see her naked body.

Shark looked at him after shaking some water off his fin. “You ok?” he asked, tilting his head to the side a bit.

"He didn't want to see her naked body." Webs said, getting some bar soap for Diane's body and setting it down on the edge of the tub.

Shark nodded in understanding and hummed before he got Diane from Wolf, who quickly went out of the room with the clothes and put them in the wash.

Shark put Diane in the water and started cleaning her with Webs help. They made sure no other dirt or bad bacteria were anywhere in her body.

While they cleaned her, Wolf left to get her normal clothes that were in a gym bag that they got from her hideout place. He brought it over to the bathroom.

Shark began drying Diane up when he noticed a few burn scars on her lower back. It was numbers like for cattle to know number of her.

"Are you ok, Shark, buddy?" Wolf asked him as he got the gym bag open.

“I… I think so.” Shark said, looking at him. “Just this.” He pointed at the burned numbers on her back.

They looked at it in shocked at the numbers

“What is it supposed to be?” Piranha asked as he and Snake entered the room.

"It's almost like a prison number." Snake said, looking at the numbers.

“But she’s never been in prison before.” Webs said, getting her phone out and getting the file of The Paw. She showed them the file as Shark wrapped Diane in the towel.

Webs was right.

There wasn’t any file of her being in prison.

“Strange.” Shark said, still holding Diane with her head on his shoulder. "We need to get her dressed first before we continue talking about it."

They all nodded.

"We'll get the room set up." Snake said before he slither out with Piranha walking with him. Webs followed after them.

Wolf got the bra as Shark lifted her arms up as he began putting Diane in her bra.

Wolf begins the struggle trying to put the hooks on the right one.

Shark noticed that he was struggling. “How about I do that?”

"No, no, I got it." Wolf reassured Shark as he continued to try to hook the hooks. He succeeded at it in the middle hook on.

Then came the underwear. They helped put it on her.

There's on the back of it in bold writing the wording "Bad Girl"

Wolf blushes red at the wording. "T-That's is… interesting"

They got the white camouflage tank-top like an undershirt from the gym bag. They put it over her and then they get the clothes out

In the bag there were some type of regular black pants that are baggy near the bottom of her feet, then the white button dress shirt, and vest, then finally putting on the red bandana.

Wolf wondered what type of shoes, socks or shocking she wore after they got her dressed.

He checked the gym bag again and found there were scruffed fancy black boots and some black socks.

"And done!" Shark said, smiling when they got her boots and socks on. "Now to brush her fur."

Wolf nodded and found something in her gym bag and it was a beautiful pink hair brush and a comb. Also it seemed in her gym bag it had a lot of initials and menstruation products (all eco-friendly) she needed, as if she was already prepared for any situation, even leaving some.

‘She put a lot of things in there.’ he thought before he began brushing and combing her whole fur. 'Must have been well prepared for anything'

They began checking if the room was ready when they finished.

They have several rooms, or personal rooms to say, but they had a spare room just in case.

Snake was already finishing up arranging the bed.

It was a beautiful room that was bright and dark within those colors.

Mostly with floral arrangements, and the bed was most comfortable and soft pillows. There was also a bedside table next to the bed and a medium view window with curtains almost drawn.

Shark carefully put Diane on the bed and checked on how she was doing.

Diane was doing better but still needed rest.

Wolf talked with Snake while Shark checked on Diane.

“That was very nice of you, Herbert.” Wolf said to him. "Yeah… thank you." Snake said before slithering off. “I’m going to make sure that Pepe and Stefaine don’t get hurt in the kitchen as they get the cup of water.”

“Oh! While you do that, could you switch the clothes in the wash into the dryer, please?” Shark called out to him before going back to check on Diane.

Snake gave a “thumbs up” with his tail as he slithered off.

The wolf chuckled softly as he looked at the fox and noticed Diane was able to move a bit. "She's going to wake up in a bit." Shark said as Piranha and Webs walked in with the water and a note.

Wolf watched them put the water and the note on the bedside table. Then Piranha looked at Diane and asked, “Will she be okay?”

"Yeah, I hope…" Wolf said, looking at Diane. Then he looked at his watch to see the time.

It was almost 2 AM.

"It seems the effects of the dart might finally be wearing off." Wolf said, looking up from his watch.

Then they all turned to Diane, who was still blacked out.

"Let's just give her some space." Webs said, getting the curtains fixed and ready to close them.

The gang left the room and closed the door.

◇

The Bad Guys were in the living room, watching the news on TV. Shark was fixing on the dress when it was dry and had his sewing kit out.

"Tiffany Fluffit here." the news reporter said into her mic. “We’re at the scene of the jumped transportation van of The Crimson Paw. The investigation is on the scene.”

Then the camera showed one of the three guards on screen. It was the fainted guard.

"We found someone on the road and they looked hurt. So, we parked the van and got out to take the person off of the road and try to call an ambulance. But someone hijacked our data and hotspots when we were about to call an ambulance," the guard said into the mic.

"Well that was easy." Webs said with a chuckle.

"Yeah. It was." Shark said, looking up from his sewing and smiled.

"Great acting." Snake said to Shark.

“Thank you.” Shark nodded before going back to sewing.

"What happened next?" the reporter on the screen asked.

“Well… I went a bit up the road to get a better signal while the other two helped the injured person or so we thought.” the guard on the screen started, speaking into the mic again. “I got jumped by someone in black while another one popped out of nowhere and attacked the two guards. I… I think it was The Bad Guys.”

The reporter nodded and listened as the guard explained more.

"Then there was a big black rope that slithered like a snake and wrapped around me." The guard added. "Plus the one who jumped me guided me to the doors, grabbed my keys, and immediately unlocked the van. Then the next thing I knew I either got knocked out or fainted."

“And you were holding a tranquilizer right before you fainted?” Tiffany Fluffet asked.

“Yes.” the guard answered.

The Bad Guys stopped listening to the news when they began hearing a sound of movement from the room. Meaning that Diane is up.

"I'll be right back." Wolf said, getting up. "I need to check on Diane."

“Ok, Moe.” the others said, nodding.

Wolf walked to the door and opened to enter the room, seeing that Diane wasn’t in the room. “Guys!” Wolf shouted. “She’s out!”

“What?!” the others shouted, as they began rushing towards the room to see if he was telling the truth or not.

The room was now empty with the glass now empty and the bed a bit of a mess.

All five ex-cons quickly looked at the door of the office when they heard clattering coming from the office.

"The office." Wolf mouthed as he pointed at the office. "It's coming from the office!"

They quickly and quietly went to the office.

Wolf opened the door to see if Diane was there and he was right.

He and his team quickly jumped to the side before Diane hit them as she went out almost like a rocket by sitting in the revolving chair and holding the fire extinguisher.

The revolving chair hit the sewing kit and made it trip over something, causing Diane to fall off it and onto the floor, letting go of the fire extinguisher she was holding.

Wolf got to Diane just in time before she got up and was about to fight anyone when Wolf picked her up by the waist and held her as she tried to fight him to get out of his grip.

“Diane! It’s okay!” Wolf reassured her, holding her. Diane stopped trying to get out the grip and looked at him, panting heavily out of fear.

Wolf set Diane down on the couch as Snake, Shark, and Piranha walked over to them. “What’s going on? Where am I? Who are you all?!” Diane asked quickly as she looked at them.

The four looked at her for a moment before they removed their mask to expose themselves to her.

Diane’s eyes widened when she saw their faces. “Moe? Herbert? Lou? Pepe?” she exclaimed in surprise.

Diane looked like was going to say something but it looked like the words were stuck in her throat as Webs got onto the couch.

“Are we showing her?” Webs asked, looking at them as she reached to take her mask off.

Wolf gave a soft nod to her as if to say “yes”.

Webs nodded and took off her mask as Diane looked at her.

“Wai- Stefanie?” Diane breathed, her eyes still wide.

Webs waved at her. “Hi"

Diane looked at the five of them for a moment in shock before asking, “Wait a minute! You’re The Bad Guys?”

The five smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, we are."

The Bad Guys were a bit nervous for Diane's reaction but their nervousness turned to surprise to see her smile a comforting smile at them

Hi, you said to send you an ask if anyone has more ideas for the neurodivergent aid post - Maybe weighted blankets sold by IKEA? IKEA is available in a lot of places, they have different weight options, the product is called ODONVIDE.

ohh!! this is a great idea, thank you!! hope you don't mind I expanded on this with more weighted items.

here's a link to the 13.2lb twin size, they also come in 17.6lbs and 22.1lbs, just going off the Google ads.

here's an alternative link to a cheaper option from target, these can also be in the store but im sure the price fluctuates. my app currently says this one is $30 but it's set to my store, it can be different based off location, availability, and eventually when the deal ends or begins again.

there are many Amazon listings for different weighted blankets, as well as options on Etsy.

( image description: a general weighted blanket guide chart comparing the users body weight to the blanket weight, for safe use for the individual, or couple. general rule is your blanket being 10% of your body weight. /end description )

if blankets are not the product for you, but you still want something weighted;

Amazon has weighted hoodies, I know I'd personally enjoy this a Lot more.

Etsy, Amazon, and maybe even a local grocery store near you has weighted and/or microwavable plushies. please check the product information before you put your plushie in the microwave.

I don't have a weighted heating pad myself, but when my cat lays on me I know in my heart it would've helped me so much with my PMDD when i was still menstruating.

i can't find a weighted version of my favorite fidget toy(the tangle, if anyone knows that one exists lmk!) but I recall Markiplier reviewing fidget toys and his #1 favorite was the ONO roller, and he said it was rather weighty. I don't actually watch Markiplier since gaming YouTube isn't my thing but I trust his opinion.

ok I'm running out of ideas here. hand weight to help your fine motor skills in your hand, if you have shakey hands. there are a lot of disabled people out here who I believe would benefit from something like this, especially if you're someone who does crafts with their hands such as crochet.

since I've already gotten one angry anon, I am not sponsored or making any sort of money off any of this.

I believe I was 12 years of age when I began to menstruate. I started taking birth control pills at about 14 because it was such an unbearable experience. I had negative thoughts- wishing I could die for 10 days and come back to life when it was over.

I was at war with my body from the beginning.

The days were long, heavy, and painful. The birth control shortened the days from 10 to 7. The pains persisted but were manageable and the flow wasn’t as heavy.

Birth control helped me get through each month.

When I stopped taking birth control, my body did not menstruate for months. My immature mind thought, well that’s cool, now we don’t have to worry about getting pregnant. Eventually, I menstruated again, and it did not stop. I bled for an entire month- thinking my body would regulate itself. But I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to get back on birth control.

I understood this cycle: stop taking it means no menstruation for several months, then, menstruation for at least a month.

In 2016, I was severely depressed and living with an abusive partner. This was my 2nd or 3rd time trying to get off birth control. The menstruation occurred and lasted for a month; however, it was the heaviest flow I had ever experienced. I used the biggest feminine product I could find and yet, was going through 3-4 of those in one day. I feared I would die. I didn’t know then, but I know now that I was hemorrhaging.

I went to the doctor seeking a way to make this stop without getting back on birth control. I was given 7-10 pills to take daily until they ran out and then I’d be fine. This did not work so I got back on birth control but, felt the doctors had failed me.

In 2019, I was no longer in that abusive relationship and was in the process of finding who I really was- discovering the boundaries I needed to erect in order to properly care for me.

One day, I laid down on my bed and placed my hands over my ovaries. Then I talked to my femininity. I told her I was sorry for all that I allowed. I told her that we will sync up with Mother Moon to be guided and healed. I encouraged that we could do this because I am listening now. Without taking the birth control, I menstruated monthly consistently for seven days. My flow was average, not heavy. I found a mediation on the app, Insight Timer, to which I continued to talk to my body. In the mediation, I visualized pink or white light radiating from within me. At the end, I asked my feminity, “Is there anything you need from me?” Once, I heard the word avocado. I had never eaten an avocado before this day. I researched it wondering why it came up in my mediation.

Avocados help with managing the natural hormones in your body. They are beneficial for stabilizing the reproductive organs. They contain healthy fats and antioxidants- preventing cervical and breast cancers.

In 2022-23, I took my womb healing to the next level by reading a book called Sacred Woman. I learned that menstruation lasting 3 days is optimal. I set a goal for myself to get down to 5 days without any cramps and pains. I abstained from sexual relations for 2 months. I drink teas, meditate daily, take walks, and have released stored memories that have stifled my femininity. At the time of writing this, my menstruation lasts 5 days and I experience ZERO pain. When it is my time of the month, I limit my social interaction for two days- giving time to me and my body. I also raise my legs on pillows to help the blood flow. Lastly, I drink chamomile and lavender teas to relax my body as well as burdock root and dandelion for iron replacement.

All this is to say that the symptoms I was experiencing in my teen and young adult years were cries from my femininity and I covered those up with birth control pills. I wanted to share this story for the women who want to heal themselves or try something different. I use the calendar method when deciding when to be intimate, via the app, Stardust- best accuracy.

Here are some of my practices:

• Plant based diet (no soy or dairy- hormonal disruptors)

• Reading Sacred Woman by Queen Afua

• Yoga practice

• Breathing exercises (Alkaline & Breath of Fire)

• Walks in nature / Meditation- Visualization

• Teas for iron and relaxing the body

• Journaling feminine wounds / Calendar log

• #1 Talking to my body: Gratitude / Affirmations

• Propping my legs on pillows

• Periodically practicing abstinence

Good luck on your healing journey, may this assist who it may.

Sul sul to Sulani

After a 10 hours flight, the roommates finally made it to Sulani, though on top of that they had to wait an extra two hours for Dawud’s flight to show up, since he was still in his Arizonan hometown. Like, would have been a bit of a waste of time for him to fly back to San Myshuno just to be with his friends, and then fly to Sulani. Now, the group was rushing themselves to go to their vacation house, as the Sulani sun is not exactly vampire friendly, the heat was killing Rudi, and Daniele just wanted to finally be at the destination.

Daniele: Dude, I missed you so much! Dawud: I’ve been gone for five days. Daniele: It was too much for me. Rudi: Ok you two calm down...By the way, Dawud, count yourself lucky you weren’t in the plane with us. I was sitting next to Daniele and he spent the entire flight watching episodes of Aircrash Investigation and then giggling when I said it’s making me uncomfortable. Daniele: What, it was actually very interesting ok, I learnt a lot of stuff! Like, did you know the deadliest plane crash in history happened in the Canary Islands of all place? I didn’t know that. And it even happened on my mom’s 10th birthday. Rudi: My dad died in a plane crash you asshole! Daniele: Well you should have said it, bruh I can’t read your mind! Dawud: Even then, that’s still a bit rude to do Dan... Kino: You think that’s bad? I got my period during the flight! Like great, the trip has barely started yet and it’s already ruined... Dawud: Your...You have that??? Kino: Well, if we ignore the part Sixamians only have one sex, we reproduce pretty much like Earthlings, so keeping that in mind it’s pretty obvious I would. Daniele: Duh. Dawud: Ok, sorry for not ever thinking about alien menstruations I guess??? Akva: At least that means you’re not pregnant. Fuck, how will my friend react uh? I should have tell her in advance fuuuuuck... Charlie: Will you please hurry up I’m gonna burn alive if you don’t move right now!

The reason for this trip was because Akva got invited by her best friend from high school, June, to come visit her, and she’ll be the one hosting them during their vacations. The two hadn’t seen each other in forever, as June moved to Sulani as soon as she graduated. The reason for that is she moved there to study environmental science and then do work as a oceanic wildlife conservationist. To her, saving the ocean is a major issues, especially for Sulani, which is deeply affected by climate change by virtue of being a tiny island country in Polynesia, located around 50 miles south of Hawaii.

June: AKVAMAREEN!!

As soon as the young woman saw her friend, she rushed down the stairs and jumped on her to hug her. However, Akva quickly pushed her away, because...you know.

Akva: Please be careful... June: Why...OH! Uh...Are you...Wait...No way?? Akva: Yeah..................That’s why I’m dressed in these awful leggings that look straight out of a Facebook MLM, none of my clothes fit anymore and I got desperate. June: When you said you had a big new for me and were bringing new people I thought you had gotten a girlfriend. Girl, what the fuck! Akva: By the way, I see you’re still super short. June: Miss Singh, don’t try to switch the topic on me...Also who even is the dad?? Akva: Remember last winter when I dated Jay for like two months before realizing I’m a lesbian... June: REALLY? DOES HE EVEN KNOW?? HE’S ALSO IN SULANI RIGHT NOW AND HE DIDN’T TOLD ME???

Akva did some sort of middle point between cringing and smiling, then shook her head. Then, the realization Jay was also on the island right now horrified her...Well, seems like she won’t be able to keep the secret for long. All of this noise outside attracted the attention of the actual owner of the house, a world famous professional surfer...Though to June, she’ll forever be her beloved older sister.

June: So, anyway, hello Akvamareen’s friends. My name is June Crosdale, I’m 20 years old and I love sea turtles. And this is my big sister Antoinette Crosdale, she is 25 years old, she loves surfing and also cheesy rom-com. Dawud: June and ANTOINETTE??? Is it just me or do the vibe of these two names doesn’t fit? It would be like if I had a brother named Jean-Claude. June: And we also have an older sister named Eduarda. Toni: Well, Antoinette is my birth name, but pretty much everyone calls me simply Toni. It’s just June who’s weirdly insistant on always calling people by their full name. Rudi: I don’t think I ever told y’all but my full name is Rudder.

As this whole name thing was going on, Kino stood there, in awe of Toni. Her dyed blue hair, her smooth dark skin, Kino could only think one thing...

Oh my Llama, she’s gorgeous!
