Need to know...
Does anybody have that ONE friend when you first meet them, they are their normal fun selves and now when they come back after one year to TEXT you, they are a completely different person??? No? Just me? Okay...
Wait, how do you do this, like I need to know so badly now.
Mans truly built different, just fucking sleep with his eyes open good god
I was re-watching adventure time and after Marceline shoes up for the first time my thought was, I wonder if there's a Trans girl who named herself Marceline yet?
Please, someone tell me there is!!!
I’ve been writing this Sleep Token fic for a few days now, and I really wanna post it, but I’m not too sure. To be honest, I had the idea in mind for another fanfic but I’ve been reading a lot of Sleep Token stories and hc so I merged them together. Honestly, I’ve been trying to get back into writing again because it’s always been a passion of mine. Decisions, decisions.
What is something you wish someone said to you when you were going through a rough time/month/years(s)?
Countries where Iran’s regime currently pays paramilitary groups to act against people and democracy.
WHY DID I NOT FIND THIS YEARS AGO!?!? Also, if, in the days before your period, your privates are itchy and a tiny bit of clear stuff is showing up in your undies, you got a yeast infection. Didn't find out until recently what that even was. If you're like me and my mom, you may get them before your period (every. freaking. time) but it's fine. They go away on their own eventually, but you can tell your doctor you have a yeast infection and they'll give you a prescription. Don't remember what it's called, but they'll know. You take one pill, then it's gone by the next day
Stuff that may happen on your period no one told you about.
So there was a lot of misinformation, and just a huge lack of the nitty gritty stuff, when I was in school and I see a lot of young kids on forums asking if something is normal or worrying about stuff and adults who have wondered their whole lives if other people feel the same on their periods.
Here’s some stuff about periods people might not talk about;
It can smell. But using scented pads isn’t a great idea, the chemicals in the perfume cause irritation. But here’s the thing; vaginas smell. All of them. All the time. Right now. YOU notice the smell because it’s literally part of you, but other people don’t. If it’s a foul smell and very strong you should speak with a gynecologist, but the average day-to-day odor is normal and doesn’t mean you’re dirty.
Diarrhea all day every day.
Or, alternately, constipation all day every day.
ALSO alternatively, a healthy mix of both sprinkled randomly across the days of your period like too much nutmeg where no one asked nutmeg to be.
Your first period might not look like a period at first. It might look, well, brown, and lead you to other conclusions about what’s going on in your skivvies. Then it might not come again the next month and show up on a totally different week when it does. Mine came like A LOT. It was very heavy and I bled through a pair of jeans in the middle of school it was so heavy. I didn’t know what it was and thought I was bleeding from my butt because my liar teacher said a period would only be a ‘tablespoon’. Tablespoon of lies.
At some point your probably going to stain the back of the toilet seat with blood. That doesn’t mean your bleeding too much, or that your dirty, but it’s a tid bit of information I wish I knew as a kid so I could have known to look for it when using public restrooms or at friend’s houses.
Period farts.
Having sex on your period isn’t gross or dirty or wrong. Put an old towel down on the bed and have at it.
The feelings you have on your period are entirely valid and not imagined or unimportant because of your period. Whether or not your feelings are heightened by PMS they are still your feelings and should be respected.
The ‘average’ period is anywhere from 3-10 days with any variation in flow. You shouldn’t be concerned because your period isn’t the same as your friends is, only if it changes from what’s average for you. There isn’t such a thing as a ‘normal period’ you need to fit into.
If you wear a disposable pad there will be a point where it’s going to unstick at some corner and when you pull it off it’s going to pull some of your pubic hair with it. This is going to suck. I am very sorry.
If you wear a tampon there is going to be a point you will squeeze it out of yourself when you use the bathroom. Just change your tampon each time you go. Please listen to me on this.
Swamp butt.
You will get blood stained thighs at some point. It’s going to cake onto your skin and make a mess just everywhere.
The cashier doesn’t care about you buying pads/tampons/etc, they just had a guy buy 4 pounds of carrots, a box of Xtra Large ribbed condoms and cherry scented lube. Your pads are not on their radar of things to care about.
Washing Your Junk:
When you shower (if you want a bath i’d shower before hand or dont wash in the bath itself and shower after to get clean) remember you are not actually washing inside of your vagina, you’re washing the skin around it (labia, clitoris, all those good bits). Using a soft wash cloth with either very mild unscented soap or just warm water. Seriously, stop putting washing products inside yourself; You do not need to wash the inside of your vagina and doing so can cause infections. Unless given products by your doctor there is no need to douche or use creams or wipes or other stuff like that. They’re lies sold to you to make you think you smell bad.
You know how your parents said ‘wipe front to back’?Same with washing, you don’t want to drag butt germs all over your vagina. Don’t do it.
Some people find that trimming, or shaving, their pubic hair helps them control odor, or makes wearing sanitary products more comfortable, but it isn’t required and is personal preference with different individuals. There is no health benefit to shaving or trimming your pubic hair and it will not make you cleaner than if you didn’t shave.
Wearing light breathable cotton undies during your period will help eliminate odor and not give you swamp butt. Especially in the summer.
Washing after sex is a great idea and not just because it’s romantic. If you’ve ever had period sex before you will k n o w but if you have not I am going to just ask you to take my word for it and plan a shower afterwards.
Feel free to tack on other stuff if you want. Tell me all your period secrets.
I'm looking to see how much influence "Twitter refugees" have actually had on the culture of this site.
**Pease reblog! I want to get the biggest and most varied sample I can!**
For all the artists out there
I'm reblogging too because I really dislike it when awesome and amazing works are taken down because of people who do not read the very clear warnings the authors take the time to write. And for those guardians of minors who report thse stories I ask you be more mature and responsible with the content your child is viewing. Thank you
Good morning! I’m salty.
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
Hygiene tips for ALL ages
ok first-have a comb in the shower! its for when you have conditioner in and then you can detangle it without all the hassle afterwards
number two- when you clean your ears with a q-tip use another q-tip and clean out your bellybutton! theres a lot of nasty bacteria in there that never gets cleaned!
number three-moisturize face neck and ears! do not forget your fricken ears!
number four-USE EFFING LOTION FOR PITYS SAKE!!! your skin will stay healthy and hydrated for waayyyyyyyy longer through life if you use lotion
number five-moose, go to your local pharmacy and buy a bottle of moose! it boosts your hair like crazy and helps it stay healthy by hydrating it
number six-when you brush your teeth sprinkle baking soda on your toothpaste! its helps keep your teeth white and sparkly! its also supposed to strengthen your teeth!
number seven-if you want whiter teeth use a banana peel! the potassium in the peel helps get rid of bacteria and stains!
number eight-clean your ears after every shower!
number nine-do not use teeth whitening strips if you are under 14, it could ruin your teeth
number ten-if the pore strip/whitening strip says use once a week ONLY USE ONCE A WEEK the professionals know what they're doin!
number eleven-every once in a while go without makeup for a day or two so that way your face can breathe
number twelve-do not use two pore strips one right after the other, it will rip your skin off and irritate the skin thats left
number thirteen-KEEP YOUR NATURAL NAILS SHORT, I don't care if you get fake nails or whatever but your natural nails need to be kept on the shorter side or else they will become thin and break easily
number fourteen-i don't care what the internet says NEVER USE LEMON AND BAKING SODA TOGETHER the acid from the lemon and the abrasives from the baking soda will destroy your teeth
But last but not least you’re beautiful and your body is a temple so please take care of it! You don't have to drink herbal tea and meditate to keep your body clean and healthy! Just take care of its needs and stay hydrated!!
Every writer needs to see this👀
Writing tips for long fics that helped me that no one asked for.
1.) Don't actually delete content from your WIP unless it is minor editing - instead cut it and put it in a secondary document. If you're omitting paragraphs of content, dialog, a whole scene you might find a better place for it later and having it readily available can really save time. Sometimes your idea was fantastic, but it just wasn't in the right spot.
2.) Stuck with wording the action? Just write the dialog then revisit it later.
3.) Stuck on the whole scene? Skip it and write the next one.
4.) Write on literally any other color than a white background. It just works. (I use black)
5.) If you have a beta, while they are beta-ing have them read your fic out loud. Yes, I know a lot of betas/writers do not have the luxury of face-timing or have the opportunity to do this due to time constraints etc but reading your fic out loud can catch some very awkward phrasing that otherwise might be missed. If you don't have a beta, you read it out loud to yourself. Throw some passion into your dialog, you might find a better way to word it if it sounds stuffy or weird.
6.) The moment you have an idea, write it down. If you don't have paper or a pen, EMAIL it to yourself or put it in a draft etc etc. I have sent myself dozens of ideas while laying down before sleep that I 10/10 forgot the next morning but had emailed them to myself and got to implement them.
7.) Remember - hits/likes/kudos/comments are not reflective of the quality of your fic or your ability to write. Most people just don't comment - even if they say they do, they don't, even if they preach all day about commenting, they don't, even if they are a very popular blog that passionately reminds people to comment - they don't comment (I know this personally). Even if your fic brought tears to their eyes and it haunted them for weeks and they printed it out and sent it to their friends they just don't comment. You just have to accept it. That being said - comment on the fic you're reading now, just do it, if you're 'shy' and that's why you don't comment the more you comment the better you'll get at it. Just do it.
8.) Remove unrealistic daily word count goals from your routine. I've seen people stress 1500 - 2000 words a day and if they don't reach that they feel like a failure and they get discouraged. This is ridiculous. Write when you can, but remove absurd goals. My average is 500 words a day in combination with a 40 hour a week job and I have written over 200k words from 2022-2023.
9.) There are dozens of ways to do an outline from precise analytical deconstruction that goes scene by scene to the minimalist bullet point list - it doesn't matter which one you use just have some sort of direction. A partial outline is better than no outline.
10.) Write for yourself, not for others. Write the fic you know no one is going to read. Write the fic that sounds ridiculous. You will be so happy you put it out in the world and there will be people who will be glad it exists.
I hate to talk about something so extremely severe but I just need to say it. I know the whole “why is nobody talking about this” thing is annoying but I really am starting to feel like I’m going insane over the fact that Tennessee recently passed a law (PASSED IT, not suggested it, not considering it, it’s FINALIZED) stating that businesses have to put up a WARNING SIGN if they are supportive of transgender people. A public warning sign stating that they allow trans people to use their facilities. And I’ve seen almost basically mainstream acknowledgment of it at all, anywhere. Just other trans people expressing their fear and anger. Can we maybe acknowledge that for like, how deeply horrifying that actually is.

Taking the big step into entrepreneurship is tough but happy to hear its a very rewarding and educational experience. From one entrepreneur to the up-and-coming, at least I know that the professional failures in life sometimes are followed with huge success.
HELL YEAH, ME TOO
Is anybody else going to talk about the fact that Player chills in a dark room all day, hacking at 4 monitors, talking to adults about secret organizations and heists and his parents aren’t aware of any of it?
What’s up late night folks? Here’s an eerie shot I took down a pitch black road in the middle of the night
yall think human flesh is like chicken where you have to cook it all the way through or like beef where you can have it rare
why the fuck aren’t there decorative dispensers for maxi pads.
they could look like those fancy tissue box covers but function like a tea bag dispenser
