(alright you all picked the otter emoji so here's a little excerpt that I rly like)

“I’m pretty sure my arm is broken.” She’s honestly not feeling too bad, whatever pills Mary had made her dry swallow earlier are making her super woozy which is great, because it means she can’t throw up at the sight of her mangled arm, but bad, because she always gets talkative when she’s on pain medication.

“Yeah no shit.” Mary scoffs. “What gave you that idea?”

“Bone sticking out.” Lilith gestures with her good arm.

Mary smiles briefly at her terrible joke before her grin twists into a sympathetic grimace. “Yeah girl we’re gonna need to get that back inside you at some point. Aren’t your bones supposed to be hallow or some shit, did that come with the wings?”

“Birds bones,” Lilith coughs weakly, no blood this time, so she’ll take the win, “aren’t hallow, they just have air pockets in them.”

Mary situates her arm closer to her chest, lining it up for what is no doubt about to be painful. She doesn’t ask Lilith to keep talking, but it will probably be better for them both if she does.

“My bones aren’t hallow yet. Or if they are, they sure don’t feel like it.” Lilith avoids crying out as Mary pops her shoulder back into place, just barely. “Maybe my bones are like otters.” She’s definitely delirious, but Mary is here and helping fight her arm back into a somewhat human shape, so she doesn’t really mind all that much.

"Otters have really dense bones,” Lilith doesn’t cry as there’s another sick snap as Mary puts her back together, “at least Eurasian otters do.” She drifts off for a moment, but Mary brings her back by tapping on her cheek repeatedly.

Mary sighs. “You’re gonna pull a Beatrice on me aren’t you?” Lilith nods and, she might be imagining this, but Mary seems to smile at that. “Go on then, tell me about otter bones.”

“Eurasian otters?” Mary sits back, her job evidently done now that Lilith’s bones are all more or less where they need to be and more or less as dense as they were before.

“You’re just trying to get me to talk so I don’t fall asleep.” Lilith accuses.

Mary holds up her hands in surrender. “You got me, Camila says she’s five minutes out. I’m trying to get you to stay awake so that I don’t get in trouble when she gets back.”

“Are you scared of Camila?”

Mary just gives her a deadpan look. “What’s this about Eurasian otters?” Mary gently prompts her back on track, well acquainted with the way Lilith (and Beatrice, because she had to learn this trait from somewhere) will ramble when she should be passed out due to pain.

“They have dense bones, something to make them less,” Lilith squints for a second, the harsh overhead bathroom light causing stars to erupt behind her eyes, “buoyant. Lots of aquatic animals do, though, including most types of otters.”

“I didn’t know you were so into aquatic wildlife, Lily.” Mary reaches over and shoves on her not-recently-broken shoulder gently. “I didn’t know there were otters over here as well, I thought they were mostly a North American thing.”

Lilith shakes her head. “Everyone just knows North American river otters because they’re cute and like to play with people.”

“And the European otters are assholes?” Mary laughs. “That about tracks.”

Lilith nods enthusiastically. “Yeah, with Eurasian otters the female will fight off her mate after the pups are born. It’s kinda hardcore.”

Mary scoffs. “Of course you’d like the asshole otters.”

“What does that mean?” Lilith tries to sit up but finds she still doesn’t have the strength, so she settles for glaring instead.

“It’s just very you,” Mary muses, “a cute little otter who is secretly a massive fuckin’ asshole.” Mary takes advantage of Lilith’s immobility to boop her on the nose gently. “Very on brand for you.”

“Nobody in the history of ever has called me cute or little.” Lilith scowls.

“Untrue, you’re cute and I tell you so all the time.” Camila’s voice is suddenly in the bathroom door, and Lilith didn’t even hear their front door open, she must be more out of it than she thought. “Whether you choose to listen to me or not is another story.”

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

I'm curious. Tag this with your sexuality and what your favorite M/F ship is.

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

Sex Ed Time

ok I'm gonna tell you about some things that might happen if you are transitioning m->f. this is not a comprehensive list just my own experience, be sure to do your own research I just really wanted to voice how this affects me because I think open discussion about this type of stuff is just more helpful for everyone rather than keeping it private

BOOBS HURT WHEN THEY GROW

your sex drive (libido) will probably go down a lot

facial hair is very hard to get rid of

my go-to gender affirming clothing is high-waisted jeans. I suggest going to a goodwill or some sort of cheap store that lets you try on clothes to figure out what you like

muscle mass will go down, fat will be redistributed

boobs do all sorts of crazy stuff when you run / exercise

overtime your skin will get softer, you also might smell nicer, and I've been told it can thin body hair but I don't really see it all that much 🤷

your brain chemistry can change when you reduce testosterone and increase estrogen, there are lots of factors that contribute toward any changes to your personality, but hormones can have an impact as well. for me this is a good thing because I struggle with allowing myself to feel emotions sometimes, no matter how hard I tried I was never really able to get myself to cry. I've gotten closer to being able to cry since I started transitioning though and that makes me very happy

this is a slow process that can take several years, ultimately you're going to be in your body for several years regardless, so if this is something you want it's definitely something you should try to pursue if possible. the time will pass anyways, and it does feel nice to work towards something that can make you happier.

also this is very important, you don't need to do any sort of hormone replacement therapy in order to be trans. not everybody can access HRT, and for those who can access it, not everybody wants to take on all the changes that come with treatments. you don't have to chemically or physically change your body in any way in order to deserve respect

all right that's all I have for right now feel free to add anything in the comments, I would especially like to hear from trans men what your experiences have been, I think openly talking about these types of things can really help some people

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

listen hobbit pussy could be mediocre (doubtful) but even if it was it's still followed by a 17 course homecooked meal and the kind of weed that would make sauron scared. lithe beautiful immortal elven pussy has no power compared to the simple, hardworking hobbit. and it goes without saying that you cannot handle dwarven pussy.
