#AND she's Gyro's bestie

[mebssann]

i apologize for the spam, idk if you're still into Darkwing, but I vaguely remembered your Sara Bellum redesign and had to track it down! I have my own DWD AU and at this point I think your Sara version is pretty much canon to it 😅 I hope that's okay! she's so well done!

Ahh!! Thank you so much that's so nice to hear. I absolutely loved Sara in the original show, so I couldn't pass the opportunity to do a lil redesign in line of Ducktales lol.

I'm still into Darkwing :> it's just taken a back seat to other shows that I'm currently into (and has new content) so if Darkwing ever does get a reboot (whenever that may be) you can bet on my ass jumping back to that show lol

And for those who hasn't seen my post here's my previous and current redesigns:

[cinnbar-bun]

Every group has the older, elegant Hot Pants enjoyer (me) and the younger, more feral Gyro enjoyer who will froth at the mouth at anything about him (my younger sister), and then the other one who got dragged in to be Johnny (my sister’s best friend)

" I just think Doc' and Gyro need to 1v1 each other in the pit. It'd be funny. "

[jake-kiszkas-smirk]

If you’re still doing them, can I request a Sam and Jake blurb? Doesn’t have to be intimate but just hanging out with them and like dating one and being besties with the other and maybe some cute comforting things thrown in like hugs and forehead/temple kisses and stuff? 🥹💖

This is adorable of course I can,

“That’s not historically accurate at all.” Sam complained about something on the tv. He was currently sitting on the floor between your legs in his sweats and a tshirt as you braided his hair.

“Sammy this is a movie, not a documentary” you replied as you secured a band around the first braid.

You looked up as you heard keys outside your front door.

“Babe, I’m home!” You heard Jake as he slipped his shoes off,

“Hey love, I’m in the living room” you shouted back, combing your fingers through Sams hair to get out all the tangles.

“How was your-“ Jake paused as he rounded the corner, his eyes landing on Sam “don’t you ever go home? You’re here more than I am. And this is my house!” he said in a faux annoyed tone as he walked over and kissed your forehead.

“Not my fault you decided to date my best friend” he shrugged as he reached for the remote to turn up the tv to drown out Jakes talking over it.

“I’m going to change the locks” Jake teased as he nudged Sam with his foot to scoot over a little so he could get next to you on the couch, giving you a hug before relaxing back,

“She’d just let me in anyways,” Sam retorted

Jake shot you a playful glare and you shook your head out of Sams eyesight. Jake laughed softly,

“What do you want for dinner?” He asked you, sitting back against the couch and rubbing your back as you started Sams second braid

“Oh, I love that Greek place down the road...they have the best-“ Sam started and you giggled as Jake leaned forward and smacked him “Hey!” Sam grabbed the back of his head and glared at Jake

“I’m talking to her not you” Jake laughed as he sat back against the couch, dodging Sams retaliation hit

“Sammy be still!”

“Kinda hard when I’m being assaulted by your sweet Jakey” he rolled his eyes and faced the tv once again.

“Greek does sound good though...” you whispered to Jake,

“It does” Jake leaned over and pressed a kiss to your cheek,

“I heard that, I want a gyro” Sam said as you secured the second braid with a hair tie.

“Ugh fine” Jake groaned, “but you’re going to pick it up.”

“Deal” Sam said as he took out his phone, taking down everyone’s orders and then heading out the door.

“Y/n, do you want that soda you like as well?” He came back in the door to ask,

“Yes please!” You chirped as he put it in his phone and then walked out.

“Sometimes I think he knows you better than I do” Jake said as he laid across the couch, head in your lap as you now played with his hair.

“I don’t think so,” you reassured your boyfriend, “but to be fair, he’s known me longer. Also, there are some ways you know me that he never will” you grinned as you wiggles your eyebrows

Jake smiled then, “That’s true. I’ll catch up on the other little things eventually” he sighed, letting his eyes close. “Why couldn’t you have been friends with Ronnie, she’s less annoying”

You giggled as you continued to run your fingers through his hair. The both of you shared how you’re day had been, and when Sam returned you all enjoyed your food while chatting and teasing each other incessantly. These were the night you loved, your best friend and your boyfriend both here, making you laugh until your sides hurt.

As promised an almost 900 words tiny excerpt from my Johnny x Reader fanfic that I’m Working on, featuring a very jealous Johnny and Reader and Diego being besties! (Because Diego and Reader are both kinda dummies) 

the whole thing is at 4k words now and still needs a bit of work but eh. Enjoy a teaser. Its gonne be mighty fine and Im editing it from Fem!Reader to GN!Reader because idk. Felt like it uwu. 

Anyways, enjoy the tiny teaser hehe.

----

And during the time you three lived together until now... You became good friends with Gyro and developed a crush on Johnny. Much to your dismay but it is what it is.

Checking your phone, you saw you almost had to leave so you checked yourself one last time in the mirror before you walked in the living room to get to your room. 

"Holy cow, Y/N! You look stunning!" Gyro commented, a big smile on his face. "Thank you, Gyro, didn't know you could be nice."

"Didn't know you could look like that." You rolled your eyes and entered your room to get your bag. 

You kinda had hoped Johnny would have said anything, but he kept quiet, much to your disappointment, but you couldn't change it. Yet it kinda hurt you, making you doubt for a second to actually wear the fancy clothes you picked out for tonight. 

Maybe you should cancel? He surely made a mistake asking you in the first place…No, you told yourself, you'd go out and enjoy yourself.

That was tonight’s goal. With bag and shoes now gathered you exited your room and tried to push away the looming stress and nervousness inside of you.

"I'll be gone then; I hope you two will have a great night too." You said and looked at the two horse lovers who were seated on the couch, playing games.

 "We'll be fine. Just remember, if he shows any red flags, or you get a weird feeling, call me and I'll come get ya!" Gyro said looking at you sternly. 

"Don't worry, as soon as he begins to resemble you, I'll give you a call." Gyro needed a second before he got what you were implying.

Johnny snickered along. 

"Well, I best be going then, until later!" And with that you left the room and consequently the apartment. "Man, you're really messing up your chance." "As if I ever had one." Johnny answered his friend and sounded defeated.  You stood outside the restaurant, nervous, unsure if he'd actually show up. 

"I hope you weren't waiting for too long, I'm sorry for my delay." A voice from behind you said and made you spin around, smiling once you saw him. Diego looked fine tonight, and you wondered how it came to be he asked you out of all people available to him. 

--

You were bored out of your mind. Gyro and Johnny had been out riding for like one and a half hour already and they were still nowhere to be seen. 

It wasn't their fault that you felt a little down today and therefore declined riding with either, so you didn't blame them. 

You weren't big into riding yourself but coming with them to the stables, seeing them in their element and with Slow Dancer and Valkyrie and sometimes riding with them was such a highlight.

You loved how Gyro kept talking to his little "bella" as if she was his girlfriend and you loved seeing Johnny being happy while he rode on Slow Dancer. 

But today... after your mood plummeted thanks to your feelings towards a certain blond rider, you rather sat in the shade near the stables and were on your phone. 

To your surprise, some strange legs entered your view and in front of you stood Diego Brando. 

You had heard of him, his reputation was that to thank for, and Johnny and Gyro had their run-ins with him and loved to rant about him.

 "Hey there." You said unsure of what exactly would happen now. You looked around and only spotted a girl with short pink hair nearby. 

"Yeah, hey. I wanted to ask if you'd like to go out sometime?" You sat there dumbfounded. 

A popular, good-looking guy, many girls surely would die for, just casually asked you out, without having ever spoken a word before. You blinked a couple of times. 

"Eh..." was All you could answer before you saw the chance this was. A date, with someone who seemed interested in you and might make you realize you never actually crushed on Johnny. 

"Sure. Why not." You said and Diego looked pleased. 

"May I have your phone to give you my number?" Slightly embarrassed you handed the man your phone who quickly typed something in with his none gloved hand. 

"There you go. Send me a message later yeah, love?" His British accent did make your knees a little weak.

Mindlessly you tugged a lose hair string behind your ear and looked at the newly made contact of "Diego 🦖" while said contact began striding back to his friend, who you assumed must be Hot Pants, the guys had also told you about her. 

Not too long after that, Johnny and Gyro were back too. 

"Did ya get bored waiting for us?" Gyro asked as he helped Johnny unmount. "A little."

"Your fault for not coming along. We found a real nice new path near a small river."

"I'll come along next time, then you can show me, yeah?" You answered Johnny and decided to keep the thing with Diego for yourself. 

You knew if you let them know now, they'd go on a rant of how horrible he is and how you should never even talk to him unless you want him to eat your firstborn or whatever.

They sure painted him like a horrible person but to you, Diego seemed a little charming almost.

In a way, I feel like with how many women that are plot relevant in jojolion, I feel araki realized he fucked up with the way women were written/treated in SBR, but I feel that's wishful thinking. Then again, has araki even did art regarding SBR after it finished that isn't Johnny, Gyro, Diego, or Funny Valentine.

Also, you have a main blog?

It fhejidf it defiantly feels like araki went crazy when he wrote sbr then even out a bit part way into jojolion for sure lol

I'm sure he's drawn... something.. sbr that wasn't main charactera... maybe lol. But idk how much he draws anything from old parts that isn't main characters ykno

But the JJL woman are really a refreshing return to form with arakid female characters. Like araki I'd far from perfect but I always have to give him credit for being more fun and unique and caring of having interesting main focus female characters in his series compared to a lot of other Shonen type manga. Like stone ocean is great, him wanting a girl giorno, him writing lisa lisa with the comment of 'I want to do something not the same as iv done before I want a mean strong woman' when he made lisa lisa and his want to give her a fair fight with kars where she kicked ass

Then his horrible dip and lack of character for both his main female lead of lucy and really all his characters in SBR defiantly help make JJL stand out a lot more

But in general they had a lot of personality! From yasuho being a jobro that'd a lady who stands firmly as her own filled out character who works well as josukes bestie as well and being able to stand on her own and do thing separately from josuke. Kaatos who everything ouggh she was one of my favs of that part. And how kick ass all the girls are, they just don't take any shit I love them sooo much their filled with so much personality...

And lol ye I have a main my main is @dinopant it's nothing special, I just reblog and once in awhile post there. I'm mostly chatty on my twitter.

Silly reasons I love Della

Her and Donald’s interactions are so accurate to sibling relationships which makes them amazing and incredibly funny

Donald is a sailor and yet she hates fish

Her dynamic with Gyro

The way she introduced herself to the boys for the first time

She genuinely wanted to name her kids Jet, Turbo, & Rebel, and Donald is the only reason why they weren’t actually named that

Della really met an alien that saw her as a threat to everything she knew and went “We’re besties 😊” (I ship them but that’s not the point) even before the truth about Lunaris came to light and Penumbra grew to like her

On the opposite side of the coin, Launchpad thinking they’re friends and Della thinking he’s a replacement of her

[daisyachain]

Please elaborate on your SBR presentation!!

Aw man it’s not half as intellectual as it sounds! My class in high school had the same slightly new agey teacher who let us free range to the point of not really having us in class or teaching us anything (fine by me). 50% of class work was just keeping a running log of notes on themes/characters/devices that we turned in at the end of each semester.

It was the same 20-odd students and one teacher from grade 11-12, and as a treat she let us do a presentation either solo or in pairs on any piece of media of our choice at the end of grade 12. Mandatory attendance, snacks were brought. There were some pretty cool subjects like Font in Wes Anderson Films or a book called Eunoia separated into chapters that used only one vowel.

As the only two weebs in class, my then-bestie and I wanted to do the weirdest possible media for shock value. Our gimmick was to sell SBR as a Piece of Literature by describing it using the same structure as our notes logbook. It wasn’t a good presentation! Lots of text, awkward formatting, we were 17 and we knocked it off in a few days after spending most of the prep time rereading SBR.

Anyway. Johnny, easy, Diego, easy, Hot Pants, easy, they’re all tortured heroes that went right alongside Othello and Tim O’Brien.

Gyro??? We had all of our reading notes finished and we were still puzzling out what to say about him until the day before. Motivations? He throws away his amnesty schtick halfway as soon as the corpse parts come up, willingly sabotaging his race progress to help Johnny. Connections? He’s devoted to Johnny and mildly antagonistic to everyone else without rhyme or reason. Even though he’s the one who provides the impetus to get through the race, all his drive is in service to the reactionary (story role not political alignment) Johnny’s story. We were stumped!

Eventually our soup brains made the connection to Gyro’s backstory of thoughtlessly following orders and came up with this slide:

RSVP to my classmates, at least we read the text out loud

Character Intro: Athena (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Lady Order by Artemis

Cranium by Hermes

Bossy Pants by Hebe

The Wise One by the people of Olympius

Bestie by Dike

Age- 18 (immortal)

Location- Athens, Olympius

Personality- Athena is very type-A and analytical. She’s intelligent, methodical, stubborn, watchful, and has a bit of trouble with being vulnerable. She doesn’t really understand the prospect of being a child since she was born fully grown under odd circumstances. She’s very proud of her high approval rating in Olympius. She's an asexual lesbian & is single.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess. As the goddess of wisdom, she has many abilities including enhanced craftsmanship, being able to communicate with/shapeshift into all species of owls and other sacred animals, audiokinesis, minor mystiokinesis (like cursing people, certain objects, and weapons), telumkinesis, minor chlorokinesis (as it pertains to the olive), and limited electrokinesis. She also has great battle prowess and an eidetic memory.

Athena is fluent in all the languages spoken in Olympius.

She takes the laws of the country very seriously and is unforgivable to those who don’t follow them. Athena also takes offense to those who disrespect the deities, even the minor ones.

Athena splits her time between New Olympus and the nearby state of Athens (which is dedicated to her). In New Olympus, she lives in a blue & gold painted brownstone and in Athens, she lives in a Greek revival style mansion. Both places are immaculately spotless & organized- decorated with the most exquisite art pieces and sculptures.

To lay low, Athena mostly gets around in her dark blue modern VW beetle, but nothing beats riding in her chariot- a marvel of Imperial Gold & Celestial Bronze pulled by winged stallions!

She's a feminist. Athena's constantly bringing new legislation for the advancement of women & girls whether it’s through education or the workforce. She recently sworn in the first female centaur as the new police chief for the New Olympus police department. She publishes a monthly academic magazine called O Dianooumenos. She also serves as the top aide for the country’s police & military as well as having a seat on the Grand Olympian Court as a justice alongside her father & other esteemed gods in the pantheon. Athena's also the owner of nationwide libraries (Olive Branch) and bookstores (Silver Owl) as well the founder of many prestigious schools and universities- Athenium Academy & Athenium University. She also has a chain of school supply stores throughout the country. Athena is also a frequent writer for The Oracle newspaper & Modern Olympus magazine. She's a co-chair of the Athens Film Festival (along with Dionysus & The Muses).

Her go-to drink is an iced latte with skim milk and a swirl of ambrosia honey from The Roasted Bean. She also likes the large hot chocolate. She’ll also enjoy a glass of pinot noir, mineral water, mint tea, and ginger ale.

A favorite frozen treat of Athena is the olive oil ice cream. Disgusting to most, absolutely delicious to her!

She once competed against her half-brother Ares (god of war) in a gyro eating contest at a Summer Solstice fair. She won, of course!

Athena's most important and respected symbol of power is her shield or aegis. It's crafted from Astrean Silver with some aspects of Imperial Gold. The symbol of her most sacred animal, the owl, is on the front. The shield is indestructible, invulnerable, as well as bulletproof!

Her favorite meal is the lamb stifado served with a side of choriatiki. Athena also likes moussaka.

She also really likes the sweet onion & steak teriyaki sandwich (with extra tzatziki sauce and olive oil mayo) from The Bread Box.

Her go-to treat to get at Hollyhock's bakery is a salted caramel cupcake. She also likes the almond baklava.

Athena is a co-chair of the country’s Olympic Tournament (alongside Hermes & Nike), Olympius’ greatest athletic competition. It takes place every summer and winter.

Her other businesses include a skin care line called Olive Visibly as well as a line of vitamin water drinks called Strengthify. She recently debuted her own fashion brand Threads of Wisdom. The fashion is a mixture of minimalist, androgynous, preppy, and dark academia styles which include shoes and handbags.

A guilty pleasure for Athena is a slice of olive pizza.

Her favorite nail polish color to wear is "dulce de latte", a nudish brownish color from Olmorfia. Athena also likes the shades "meet me at the olive tree''- a dark green color & "metallic jacket''- a chrome silver color.

Athena, of course, loves using the olive oil hair products for Glory's Crown. She normally wears her long curly hair in box braids, but Athena likes other braiding styles as well.

She baby-sat her half-sisters Hebe (goddess of youth) & Eileithyia (Ella) (goddess of childbirth) a few times. Athena described the experience as something she wouldn’t wish upon any imprisoned soul in Tartarus.

One of Athena’s favorite activities to do is work out. One of her other nicknames is “Abs of envy."

She's not really close with her half-siblings, though she is sympathetic towards Hephaestus (god of the forge); despite meeting him briefly only once. Athena and her half-brother Dionysus (god of wine) share an unspoken connection, seeing how they were "born" from their father.

Athena is aware that she's her father's favorite and uses that to her advantage often. Having never met her, she is curious about her mother, Metis (Titaness of wisdom & counsel) who has long since faded.

She's real good friends with Nike (goddess of victory), Dike (goddess of justice); they're BFFs, Bia (goddess of force & power), Alke (goddess of courage); who's often her workout buddy, Hygieia (goddess of hygiene & cleanliness), Clio (muse of history), Calliope (muse of epic poetry) Ekecheiria (goddess of truce & armistice), The Furies, Pasithea (goddess of hallucinations & relaxation), Ganymede (god of homosexual love & desire), Eleutheria (goddess of liberty), and Nemesis (goddess of retribution). She has also recently gotten to know Dike's other close friends Arete (goddess of virtue, valor, & excellence) and Homonoia (goddess of concord).

Her dislike for her uncle Poseidon is no secret to anyone- in the pantheon as well as the public. She hates that she frequents his sushi restaurant The Ocean Roll for an order of avocado cucumber rolls along with a miso soup.

Athena has a good working relationship with Diochetévo (goddess of sewers, garbage, & waste).

She views Themis (Titaness of justice) and Mnemosyne (Titaness of memory & language) as maternal figures as well as Chrysanta (goddess of metal).

Athena also admires the resourcefulness of Penia (goddess of poverty) & Ptocheia (goddess of beggary).

In her free time, she enjoys archery, exercising, working on her own art (drawing and painting), writing (poetry and short stories), fencing, knitting, sword fighting, chess, pottery, sewing, petteia, basketball, checkers, football (soccer), visiting the cinema, the theater, the opera, & hosting dinner parties with her close friends. Nothing however beats the company of a good book.

Athena can play the lyre, cello, violin, flute, clarinet, & oboe!

She "unofficially" does the taxes for most of the people in the pantheon.

Her father gave her a Diamond Ave. owl shaped jeweled clutch for her recent birthday!

Even though she's an eternal virgin, Athena is aware of her attraction to women, though she’s never been in a relationship. She considers herself to be a sapiosexual- attraction to intelligence. She had a brief unrequited crush on Urania (muse of astronomy).

Despite being respected and honored by the people, Athena has had her fair share of controversy. There was the whole thing between her and a mortal girl named Arachne when Athena let her temper get the better of her, the "battle" for Athens between her & her least liked family member, and the most recent heavily scrutinized and talked about scandal- her, Poseidon (god of the sea & earthquakes), and Medusa. Athena refuses to talk about it, publicly and privately‐ to anyone. Not even Dike. Ever since the massive controversy, she's been keeping a low profile, only being seen in council meetings.

“One who yells the loudest is often the one with the least to say.”

Me explaining JoJo’s whole plot to yall

I have a lot of Star Wars fans here. I know y’all confused as hell when I post jojo so let me explain each Part as spoiler free as possible

Part 1

It’s the late 1800s. Jonathan “JoJo” Joestar’s father George Joestar I takes in Dio Brando after his father dies. Dio Brando starts beefing with Jonathan because he wants the family inheritance. Dio makes JoJo’s life hell then becomes a vampire. Thus starting JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. And starting the Joestar Family Curse

Part 2

Joseph “JoJo” Joestar is the grandson of Jonathan. He and his man’s Caesar have to fight basically space gods who created the tools that turn people into vampires. They’re called pillar men. It’s like the 1920s or something

Part 3

Dio Brando is not dead. He comes back to the land of the living in the 1980s. Joseph Joestar’s grandson Jotaro “JoJo” Kujo is “possessed by a demon” aka he has a fighting ghost known as a Stand. Dio puts a curse on Jotaro’s mom Holly Joestar and so Joseph, Jotaro, and some others gotta travel to Egypt to kill Dio.

Part 4

So Joseph Joestar cheated on his wifey, Suzi Q, with Tomoko Higashikata. They had an illegitimate son named Josuke “JoJo” Higashikata. They live in the small Japanese town called Morioh. Everything is pretty fun and laid back except for the serial killer with the hand fetish who they gotta track down

Part 5

Dio Brando is a thot. When he killed Jonathan, he took his body and started acting a fool. He has a son named Giorno “GioGio” Giovanna (birth name Haruno Shiobana) who is Dio and Jonathan’s son at once. He is in high school but he’s sick tired of the mafia acting up and selling drugs in his city (Naples). So Giorno joins a team in Passione in an attempt to overthrow its leader via infiltration.

Part 6

Some time after Part 3, Jotaro Kujo gets married and has a daughter named Jolyne “JoJo” Cujoh. Due to the nature of Stands, Jotaro is a rather absent father. He doesn’t want his daughter dragged into this bullshit. However, through his absence, Jolyne ends up going to jail. While she’s there, she drags into the Joestar curse because Dio Brando had a bestie who wants revenge and orchestrated a whole plot. 

Part 7

The whole universe is reset and we follow Johnny “JoJo” Joestar. He is from Kentucky. He is a horse jockey. It’s the 1800s. He meets Gyro Zeppelli. The two team up. And eventually they realize they have to collect all the pieces of Jesus Christ’s remains before the 23rd President of the United States does.

Part 8

I haven’t read of all JOJOLION yet but it takes place in modern age. We follow Josuke “JoJo” Higashikata 2. All we know about him is that he has amnesia. I’ve heard it gets crazy but I haven’t finished it yet. It concluded in 2021

Part 9

It’s confirmed to be in the works. But no one knows what the fuck will happen in it.

[ninja-librarian]

What about an even ten of 4, 7, 10, 14, 23, 24, 26, 35, 36, and 44 for platonic Della & Gyro?

4: First impressions of each other? Was it love at first sight?

LOL, nope! Gyro thought Della (and, by association, Donald) was terrifying and stand-offish. Della wanted absolutely nothing to do with Gyro, either, and--because his mother had dressed him in Gyro's least favorite outfit--made assumptions about what kind of kid Gyro was and that they were two very different kids. There was a lot of judging going on between the two five year olds. Took an adventure to realize that they had more in common and that the other wasn't so bad after all.

7: What annoys them the most about their partner? Would they change it if they could?

As they get older, Gyro resents Della's impulsiveness--which he knows is a bit hypocritical because he can also be pretty impulsive. But he also knows that she wouldn't be Della Duck otherwise, so he wouldn't have her any other way.

Della just thinks Gyro's penchant for black licorice is a personality flaw but realizes she can't do anything about it.

10: Do they discuss big issues? Religion? Marriage? Children? Death?

Oh yeah. A lot, especially as older teens/young twenties when they had a lot going on on their minds while growing up.

14: Anything they both dread?

Gyro has an underlying fear that one day he's going to wake up and it's all going to be some horrible dream. Della's dead and never came back from the moon, and it's all his fault and he's back to the miserable life he lived before he left people back into his life.

Della has a similar dread; she's going to wake up back on the moon, stuck, and missing all the people she's ever loved.

23: How do they hug? Kiss? Tease? Flirt? Comfort?

As a kid, Gyro stimmed a lot by hugging when he was excited or was upset, and Della was one of his main people to hug. He'd just throw his arms around Della and she'd return the hug, no problem. It's a little bit of the reverse now that they're adults; Della's more likely to sneak-attack her bestie with a hug and some times Gyro's a bit annoyed with it, or at least acts like it, because he secretly loves it and can admit he's touch-starved.

They could also be found during their teen years lying on a bed and chatting about everything and nothing, or curled up on the couch together watching TV or playing video games. Teenage Della broke up with many a boyfriends and girlfriends because she could be with them and have the thought "I'd really rather be home on the couch with Gyro watching Kitchen Nightmares right now." And so she'd just up and leave to do just that.

24: Any doubts about the relationship?

Tons, especially when Della first came back from the moon and when they were trying to fix their friendship.

26: How do their friends feel about their relationship? Their families?

Friends and family are supportive! Scrooge, Donald, Maria and Natasha especially, because they know they both need this after all that they've been through.

35: Do they bring out the best in each other, or the worst? Do they have a fatal flaw?

Oh, both. Definitely both. They help each other shine, but they'll also egg each other on to do some pretty crazy things.

36: What’s their greatest strength as a couple? Their weakness?

When they work together to problem solve, they can do a lot of amazing things. They're a great team; Della sees the angles of things, and Gyro's got the technical mind to assemble things the way she sees them, even if she's pretty vague with how she sees things going down.

Their weakness is their problems in communicating how they feel, but they're working on it.

44: Are the comfortable with each other? Anything they have to have their privacy for?

These two are overly comfortable with each other. Privacy is not really a thing with these two. Even when Gyro's gender dysphoria was at its worst and had him really hating his body, he never felt bothered about taking off his clothes around Della. Della took care of Gyro after his top-surgery, and Gyro helped Della get bathed towards the end of her pregnancy with the boys and right after she delivered.

Um. Excuse me. You had cancer??

Yeah... I mean I guess I really haven't discussed it much on tumblr. I have a little bit, but only in vague ways, or rarely made veiled references in tags.

SO, get a drink, get a snack, because this is a bit of a saga, and you already know I am longwinded at the best of times. I'm going to do like Vizzini said, and go back to the beginning. I hope you're ok I'm making this public Shells, it seems easier to? And I'll put this behind a cut because I really do wax on ( and on).

It's the end of August 2018 and i appear to have gotten some kind cold/respiratory infection. I'm at work the first day of it and it feels like a cold. No big deal. (Also this is all pre-COVID so no I didn't have COVID). The next day I feel really awful, so I call off work, and figure all I need to do is rest and I'll be ok. Turns out, NOPE. The next day I feel worse- now I can tell I have a bit of a fever, my appetite was basically, " eat one baby carrot and my appetite is exhausted." Finally, I get to the point that I am having trouble lying down - as in I am becoming short of breath when I try to lie flat (sorry if I am using the wrong word - lay/lie was always a grammar issue that eluded me.) So, I decide, ok, i will be sensible girl and go get medical attention. But I am stubborn and feel the ER is overreacting, so I go to urgent care. i park in the front row of urgent car parking, but by the time I reach the intake desk I have to put my head down because I am so winded and a bit lightheaded.

They take one look at me and tell me, point blank, "we're getting a squad for you to take you to the ER." I say, " what? no, I don't need that, this is not that big a deal." They counter, " you could barely walk in the door and you you are having significant trouble breathing. We don't have the ability to see you here." So, for the first time in my life I have to go via ambulance from urgent care to a free standing ER.

I get to the ER - where they decide, OK, lady, you're a mess. Let's get some chest x-rays and we're gonna slap some IV fluids and I can't even recall if they immediately put me on IV antibiotics or not. But after two hours there they informed me, " hey.... So, we think you need to go to the hospital-hospital not the freestanding ER." I tell them well you better hand me my laptop ( I'm that bitch who takes the laptop with her juuuuust in case I am stuck in the hospital. you never know.) Because i am not going to a hospital until I figure out if they're in my health plan. I do so and then for the second time in my life, all in one night because sometimes I am an over achiever i guess, I go via ambulance to the hospital.

They admitted me and over the next few/couple/ hours ( it was hard to tell) I progressively felt worse. I had trouble breathing if I didn't sit absolutely straight up, and at that point I hadn't gotten good sleep for around 60 hours or so. Me being me I started to get teary and panicky, because I was so tired and wasn't sure what to do. I called for the nurse and she came in and then within the next half hour your girl got taken down to the ICU. By the time we arrived down in the ICU I was really getting panicky. My mom died in the ICU ( different hospital but still) and I knew the fact they took me down there was no laughing matter. I started to think about, " ok is this what death is like? this isn't what i thought it was going to be - this is panicky and scary and not all white lights and peace."

The next thing I knew - it was two days later, and I woke up intubated. Did you know that you can be conscious and intubated? I did not. I'll speed things up a bit here. I spent a total of 8 days in the ICU - I had one hell of a case of pneumonia, and there were a couple of other diagnoses thrown in ( nope, not cancer. promise, we will get there.) . The nurses I had were AMAZING. I was intubated for about 6 of those 8 days. Then I got weaned off of it. Funniest moment on the ventilator: Physical therapist comes around and says, " Hey let's get you up and walking, you think you can?" I nodded and shrugged my shoulders to try and communicate, " sure, ok!" It went totally fine, but there were nursing students, residents, other doctors and who knows who else looking out of rooms and over desks at the two of us just y'know... *walking down the hall*. I gestured to the people because it was just flipping weird. I had an audience at the exact time NOBODY wants an audience and it confused the hell out of me. PT advised me, " there aren't too many times ventilated patients are ambulatory. You're a bit of a curiosity so people want to see."

Once I got out of the ICU and was put back on a regular floor, I got to meet with other doctors re those other diagnoses I mentioned ( chronic things I just have to manage) I also mentioned that it had been a really long time since I had been to a GYN and as had been noted in the ICU I spotted quite frequently ( I have never, ever in my life been regular period-wise and it just got weirder over time, but I just didn't really consider it. So I asked while they were setting me up with new practitioners ( my previous doctor had retired) too please set me top with a gynecologist.

So I'm out of the hospital by September 10th, 2018. The gyro appointment occurs i want to say by mid- to late September. I go in and meet her and she's lovely. While I'm up on the table she says, " hey let's do all the things and get a uterine biopsy!" I say, " excellent, do the things!" We agree it's likely going to be nothing but hey we're smart people and we will play it safe. Huzzah Gyno visit accomplished! (if I were a gamer I'd make some kind of ladybits achievement unlocked now, but I'm not a gamer.)

Two or so weeks go by - or however long it takes to get those test results back (some of these spans are lost in the mists of time). Dr Boyle calls me and apologizes that the test results that she was sure would be nothing... they are not nothing. Turns out, it's endometrial cancer.

At that point you could have knocked me over with a feather. Shells, I wanted my mom to be there so badly, I can't even express it. She would have understood how I felt - she'd been there with her breast cancer. But at the same time, I was glad she wasn't there? I remember how heartsick my mom was to tell Grandmommy when Mom got cancer. I didn't want my mom to have to hear that news, to worry about that. Dr Boyle advised me that she would be referring me to a good oncologist and i should hear from them in a week or two.

Thus began MRIS and PET scans and ultrasounds, and blood work etc. The oncologist diagnosed that he figured I might be stage three, but it depended on my lymph involvement. It brought back memories of when Mom was diagnosed and when she told me she was stage three. I asked my Dad later, "what does that mean?" He told me, " there are only four stages, so what do you think?" This time around I knew what it meant. So, we put me down for surgery November 9th, 2018. That's two days before my birthday - so I joked that I was getting my cancer out for my birthday - hooray! My best friend actually flew in from texas for my surgery ( my best friend is a SAINT, and I love her more than pearls and rubies.)

Best surgery story from this experience: For my total hysterectomy (uterus and ovaries go sayonara and then also two signal lymph nodes in the chain of nodes on either side of the pelvis to se if there is any lymph complication.) I had to be tilted back - so with my head down to move as many organs away from the uterus etc during the laparoscopic procedure. I knew this going in, However, when I woke up back in my hospital room I looked at Bestie and said, " I hurt in places I didn't expect to hurt. Oh wait. My shoulders hurt because they're not used to being weight bearing, but the procedure was laproscopic - so why the heck does my vagina hurt?" Bestie in one of her best moments ever says, " I know why." I replied, " wait, YOU know why MY vagina hurts?!" She said, " yep. So your surgery was supposed to take 3-3.5 hours ended up taking 5 hours instead. Your uterus was really big. The oncologist told us they need up having to cut it in half to pull it out of you." bestie admitted she joked with the oncologist that it was like I had just birthed a baby, he looked back at her (NOT laughing) and said, " yes, that's basically what she did." I laughed so much at that ( i mean i was also well medicated, but still) I told Bestie, " I had a Uterus! Let's call it George!" ( In retrospect I am disappointed in myself that I misgendered my own uterus, I should have called it Georgina.)

So, after healing from the surgery, by about January of 2019 I started two courses (each with a few rounds) of chemo. First came what the doctors and I called "low-pro" chemo - that we did along with radiation. Honestly, though i was making a heck of a lot more bathroom trips, you wouldn't have generally known I was sick. Most of my coworkers had no idea. I just was a bit more tired than usual. After the low pro rounds - then we moved to the bigger guns. Radiation was done but I moved to more significant chemo drugs, This wasn't because things were bad - this was the plan all along :) But I knew the "high-pro" chemo was going to make me lose my hair. THAT was a psychic struggle. I cried so much knowing that was going to happen. I got hats and caps and I even got a very nice wig. I mean, I planned as much as a girl can plan when she hears that news. I even preemptively cut my long hair. It was about half way down my back at that point. So I went in and asked the stylist please braid it and put it in between two hair ties - and then cut it - so i could keep my braid. I couldn't do locks of love anyway as it was colored, and I know it's selfish, but I wanted my hair. So, the hair went from half down my back to a face framing bob. then I just waited. And then in a few weeks it happened. I could put my hands through my hair and easily, painlessly pull it out. I am not a cute bald girl. That's when people KNOW you have something going on.

I was very lucky though, there ended up NOT being lymph involvement, and even the high pro chemo didn't make me nauseous or lose appetite. I did have HORRIBLE bone pain usually the first week after chemo ( i'd get it every three weeks). I learned a hell of a lot from that. I also was able to get some meds to help alleviate it a bit, and I took time from work when the pain was at its worst. But I have never experienced pain like that - where no matter what I did - no position changes helped. Even ice packs or heat pads didn't help or do much. It was just a waiting game, a painful waiting game. Oh also - I learned that IV benadryl is nothing like oral benadryl. IV benadryl is like walking right into a brick wall made of sleep. That stuff knocked me the hell out right quick - amazing.

Right before COVID started and the world shut down I got the flu because my immune system was in the toilet- and so I spent another week in the hospital and except for the bone pain that comes with chemo, you know what is worse than chemo injections? POTASSIUM injections. Among other things, my potassium levels were low and so I got those injections with other meds. Those suckers HURT. they BURN, and so i spent a week in the hospital only to eventually come out and find out the world was starting to shut down from COVID. Not my job at that point, but my oncologist told me, " GO HOME - YOU KNOW YOU ARE IMMUNO COMPROMISED - DON'T STAY AT WORK." So, I went home until about a month after I finished chemo.

Since finishing chemo it's been about scans, which have gone ok so far... I'm not willing to talk about the R word. I just think I'll have to be careful the rest of my life - My mom always said, "once you've gotten cancer, you always have cancer." So, maybe it's the anxiety talking, but it's kind of like waiting for the other cancer shoe to drop. In the mean time though, it's business as usual - try to find good stuff in the midst of the hot mess. Cancer has been a crisis but not a reason to lose my sense of humor. I've needed it more than ever :)

So, sorry for the SERIOUSLY LONG ASS answer, but sometimes it's just better to lay it bare. I'm not ashamed of this stuff. It's been a lot. It's been a journey... It still is... it's part of the rest of my journey, which i hope isn't over by a long shot yet. I don't believe things happen for reasons - the world is WAY too absurd for that in my opinion, BUT good gravy have i been able to learn so much from this whole three ring circus. I'm not grateful for cancer, but I am grateful for the lessons.

Thanks for checking in, Shells. You're a complete sweetheart.
