#I haaaate being sick

[human-rocket]

No Guiding Light update today y’all 😭 I was out of town last week, and have been fighting a viral infection all this week. I have the outline of Chapter 6 done but this one will be a challenge for me. So you can expect the next update in a couple weeks! ✨

[rexscanonwife]

Hello everypony! I'm officially back home from my trip to visit family and friends with my partner! I had a great time but also seem to have picked up...a bug of some kind = w = which made GETTING home a bit miserable but im glad to be back and im resting up 🫶

[buckymorelikefuckme]

thought i was getting better but i feel worse today :(

[hearth-of-olympus]

should have known i was going to be violently sick tonight i ASKED my dad for a hug

[shima-draws]

Bangs my head against a table I have a cold and it’s at the point where I can’t sleep bc I’m too uncomfortable. Sniffles, sore throat, generally feeling like garbage. I want to take cold medicine but we don’t have any. I haven’t been sick like this in years and I HATE it

[lektricfergus]

nyquil vs being on my phone GO

[starry-eyed-pkmnlvr]

the worst part about being an adult is when I’m sick I have to actually take care of myself. my throat is being stupid and it’s pissing me off and I just want to sit and do nothing but nooo I have to go through the effort of buying cold medicine

“S-sorry, can you keep the lights off? I just… I-I have a headache. Sorry…”

Waking up I feel like an actual human being and not a sad tired sack of potatoes stuck in the rain

mulder vs. scully and her period

-first off, he 1000% keeps track of her cycle - it's vital to his survival - but he would never ever ever ever tell scully that

-he learned to start keeping track after too many blunders during their first year working together. like, he'd had girlfriends in the past, obviously, but he didn't travel the country constantly with them day in and day out. even diana was rly reserved about her period, preferring to keep that sort of thing to herself. but scully is a medical doctor. while she may take issue with any emotional aspect, and be uncomfortable and embarrassed about that part, she is completely nonplussed by the physical aspect, and talks about it very bluntly and openly, and that took mulder by surprise at first. he wasn't used to being around a woman who wasn't bashful about it, and it made him uncomfortable at first, but eventually he was like "ok, this is going to be part of working with her, i need to get over myself and up my game"

-in their entire time working together, mulder has made one (1) "are you on your period or something?" joke. it was about six months into their partnership, and scully was (rightfully) irritated at him about something and he had tried for some levity. let's just say that he, ah... he has never made that mistake again

-he always has a tampon on hand. like, always. it is more reliable to ask mulder if he has a tampon than it would be to ask another woman in the bathroom if she has one. he started keeping them on him when she got her period on a three hour long flight that had an hour delay on the tarmac, and she'd accidentally forgotten to take a couple tampons out of her checked luggage, so he'd watched her shift around uncomfortably with a makeshift pad made of thin, coarse airplane bathroom toilet paper, and he felt really bad that he couldn't do anything about it, so on the flight back, he bought a travel pack pack of like, six tampons when he went to get sunflower seeds, just in case. then at some point he was like "mb i should keep a couple in my overnight bag for her," and that led to, "she's in my apartment a lot, i should throw a couple under the sink," until eventually he was King of the Tampons

-(he even has different absorbency levels, okay? like, he is on top of his shit)

-he used to buy chocolate for her on long drives when he knew she was on the rag, always saying something like, "it was two for one, don't worry about it," even when it wasn't, until he started to pay closer attention, and he realized she actually tended to crave salty foods instead of sweet ones, so he switched from chocolate to potato chips and pretzels. (he would play it off as though he got them for himself and then would keep offering her some, bc he knew that would help her not sit there and (completely needlessly) dwell over eating junk food)

-she gets really bad cramps the first day and a half or so, and he haaaates it, bc even tho she waves it off, he can see the way she clenches her jaw, and is hunched over whenever she thinks he's not paying attention. if she's over at his place when they're happening - even if they're working - he makes her sit with a heating pad and encourages her to drink the whole glass of water when she takes her midol. he has massaged her lower back on more than one occasion

-she stopped getting her periods regularly when she was going through cancer treatment, her body too sick and weak. about two months after going into remission, she bled through her slacks on some rural highway in arkansas, and although mulder listened to her complain and validated her frustration, he was secretly so relieved, bc he knew it meant that her body was really and truly starting to heal

-her periods become kind of a taboo subject in a way they hadn't ever been before once she learns of her infertility. she doesn't talk as openly about them anymore, but he's still always prepared and after four/five plus years together he doesn't need her to tell him how to make her feel better. he can intuit it. she doesn't say it, but he knows that she's grateful

-her periods become a dark topic when the ivf fails. the period that confirmed it didn't take was hard on both of them, and she spent every night of it at mulder's apartment letting him hold her and allowing him the privilege of caring for her, which she usually resisted

-he actually noticed that she missed a period before he was taken in oregon, but he had no reason to suspect it was anything but just a fluke, so he didn't say anything. when he glanced at his calendar and saw what week it was, though, he did have a fleeting moment where he was like "what if?" not in a serious capacity, but in a wistful way. i mean, they'd been going at it like rabbits and had never once even considered using a condom. like, why would they, right? but in his brief fantasy, he thinks about how she would react seeing a plus sign on a pregnancy test. it would be familiar - that look of disbelief and awe she got whenever they witnessed something unexplainable - and he would be the cause of it, and how amazing would it feel to be able to give that to her? to give that to both of them? but he knows it'll never be anything more than a pipe dream (bitch, you thought!)

-we won't get into sad later stuff, but i'll just say that he really, really resents the fact that he wasn't there to take care of her during her pregnancy. and he would have been fantastic at it. he would have toed the line between supportive but not overbearing perfectly. she would have had a beautiful nine months, like she had more than earned. he'll never totally forgive the universe for taking that from them

-and to conclude, let me just say for the record, mulder is all about period sex. orgasms help cramps, right? he's just being altruistic. ("YOUR orgasm doesn't help my cramps, mulder" "hey, we'll never know for sure unless we try")

-lay down a towel, lay down your woman, and get to it. bro eats crime scene evidence. there's no way he'd let a period stop him from fucking. god bless and amen

-the end

kahlopatra headcanons? 🙏

bestieeee

these are gonna be random a f

(college au/i aged em up)

Cleopatra runs cold, Frida runs hot. It's perfect.

yes, they both have their tickets for the Barbie movie. Cleopatra has her outfit planned out (pink pink pink everything) and Frida is very excited to be Cleo's Ken.

Frida thought she had a high tolerance for spicy food but Cleopatra is in a different league. Like she could go on Hot Ones and not even flinch.

but Cleo haaaates Tajin. Frida loves it. She puts it on fruit and Cleo couldn't believe her eyes.

Cleopatra has a cat! (i was picturing a siamese) Frida is lowkey allergic, but she can handle it. But if you thought Cleo was snooty...wait till you meet this cat.

Cleopatra snores. Frida thought it would be cute and quiet but it's actually kinda loud. Frida is contemplating ways to bring this up and survive to see another day.

Frida is an Aquarius! Cleopatra is a Scorpio (not to get in my astrology bag but I think she's a scorpio sun, leo rising and gemini moon. venus in leo or taurus. what do yall think about it.)

I wrote a lot hehe woops.

(TW: weed) Cleopatra is like a 'smoke at parties' kinda girl, whereas Frida smokes often for funsies and as a creativity boost.

(TW: weed) They tried to do a 'take an edible and go to an aquarium' date but Cleopatra got too high and freaked out in the shark tunnel. They'll try again but with an arboretum next time.

Frida can play the guitar. Cleopatra goaded her into playing for her once and folded immediately when she started singing. (at one point, Frida looked up and Cleo was taking off her clothes)

Speaking of, Cleopatra told Frida she signed up to be a model for her art class. Frida did not know she was a nude model. Frida should have guessed. damn it was hard to focus on painting that day

Cleopatra is now Frida's personal fashion consultant. She's a (cheerleader, homecoming queen) part-time model, she has a very keen eye for fashion obvi

When it's cold, Frida wears socks to bed and they argue about it all the time. They also argue about what side of the bed to sleep on (they both want the right side smh).

Frida loves going along with Cleo on her many beauty shop appointments (nails, hair, spa, etc) but won't go into any waxing/threading shop because the technicians start getting twitchy just looking at her. She feels like if she fell asleep, she'd wake up tied to the chair with two eyebrows.

They watch a lot of movies. Cleopatra laments how expensive TVs used to be but loves that they're cheap now because a big screen TV still makes her feel rich and luxurious.

Frida will be the first one to say I love you and it will mess Cleo up a little bit. don't worry tho, they'll talk about it! she's just not used to being loved (saad)

Frida is teaching Cleo Spanish, but all she wants to learn is swear words and dirty talk. it's gonna take a while

Cleopatra is a bug killer, Frida tries to trap and release.

Harriet (Frida's roomie in this AU) was extremely suspicious of Cleo at first ("wasn't she like your nemesis?") but she came around eventually ("enemies to lovers is kinda sexy...")

Frida is currently showing Cleo so many Spongebob episodes, she was sick of her constant references going to waste.

yes, they listen to a LOT of new music together. Frida tries to go in chronological order (2004 music, 2005 music etc), so that Cleo could hear the progression of music sound. (i could go on and on about music but these r getting long already)

Cleopatra is a passenger princess, but mostly because everybody is too scared to get in a car with her at the wheel; she drives like she's playing fucking GTA. (Frida thought people were kidding, but after they went soaring over a downhill speed bump one time, Frida politely took the keys forever).

speaking of GTA, that's Cleo's favorite video game. she enjoys mowing people down, blowing things up, and getting cute new outfits. Frida thinks its a good way for her to indulge her sadistic streak.

Mario Kartin': Frida mains an Orange Yoshi, Cleo goes between Peach and Rosalina (she refuses to make a Mii she thinks they're too ugly to represent her).

They become a different couple when they play mario kart. Frida is really fucking good and Cleopatra can't stand that shit eating grin every time she wins. (cleo would be like that tik tok sound: right hand on the bible, god can strike me down if im lying, that motherfucker's cheating!)

-----

I could write more but i wrote way too much already. y'all would have to ask for part 2. Also... may have snuck my next fic in here teehee.

if anybody wants to use these for art or what have you, go for it (but it better be gooood 😜)

tag and credit me tho so i can see it and be overjoyed

THANKS FOR ASKIN BESTIE!

It’s just so exhausting hearing the same conversation from so called Tom fans every 3-5 business days. No one is saying that you guys need to love everything he does but it really does feel like some of you harp on every single thing about the man to a point it doesn’t feel like you’re fans. His agents, his friends, his family, just constant nitpicking. And I’ve never been in an fandom where people truly think they have a say or can control a grown ass man like this. And some of the criticism that you guys have are the same regurgitated criticism that film twitter bros have who have a gripe with MCU. It’s never actually productive or constructive. It sounds like you guys are mouth pieces for that sector who decided to hate Tom 2 years ago because they decided to hate Marvel and he went public with Z. It’s annoying. The man is one of the most successful unproblematic young actors of his generation. He keeps to himself and his family and friends and girlfriend but I swear there’s always this hate train going on him. You have to see how people can get tired of it especially when he’s done nothing to warrant the constant ragging.

Exactly Anon! 💯

It just gets old.... and exhausting 😩 And I think it mainly gets old not only because it's every 3-5 business days, but ALSO bcoz it's coming from people who supposedly call themselves fans of Tom. With fans like these, who needs enemies?? 🥴

It would be one thing if these people were open haters of Tom and just admitted it. Then the hate and constant nitpicking would at least make some SENSE (okay, you're not a fan of the dude.... got it).

But when it comes from so-called "fans" who are following a blog of someone who's obviously a FAN of Tom's, it just feels really weird to me....

Liiiiiiike....

Like you said, Tom is unproblematic, he minds his business, he works hard, he's talented, and he doesn't do anything wrong or offensive to anyone!

Atp, fans can't even enjoy any new project news for Tom, because fans of his are ready to complain 24/7. 🙄

The TCR Filming Announcement came out:

"Omg....I wish Tom didn't take this project on. It's just going to make people with DID look like monsters! Hollywood always does this! I wish Tom would drop this project." (Keep in mind, the series had not even started FILMING yet, let alone come out. 😒)

The FA Filming Announcement came out:

"Ugh!! I HAAAATE biopic films! I'm so sick and tired of them!! They're just Oscar bait films anyway..." 🙄

Tom Simply TALKS about a possible SM4 movie in the works later on down the line:

"I sure hope they don't do another trilogy. Tom needs to STOP playing Spiderman and do more serious indie films instead of getting sucked into SUCKY Sony and the MCU. He's being held back by his Spiderman contracts!!"

A simple TWEET comes out that Mark Wahlberg has said that the script for "Uncharted 2" is has been written:

"Nooooooo!!!! 😫 I hated that movie! It wasn't funny, it wasn't charming, and it wasn't even a 'good' action movie! I wish Tom would drop this franchise and do smthg else!" 😭

All it sounds like in Tom's fandom is this all the time.....

After a while, it just gets tiring.... 😓

FUCK IT WE BALL.

introducing my hpma oc/mc, rosselyn!

he/him, ravenclaw

❛ no, daniel. gaslighting isnt real. youre talkin crazy. ❜

𖦹 ࣪˖ . ݁ 🐟

personality !

aw. hes just a silly little guy. quiet most of the time, but is a carefree, a helpful classmate!

when he first came to hogwarts he was a lot more reserved. in his first year, he would really only speak when spoken to! of course hes warmed up to the place to become the social butterfly he is now.

in his 1-3rd years, he was quite the introvert! he didn't know how to say no, how to turn people down. which was why he was always weighed down by extra hmwk people asked him to help with! of course hanging out with daniel and robyn rubbed off on him. not to mention his own growth! hes a lot better now. though he'll still try to be polite, he knows how to maintain his boundaries.

hes also quite charming! can be very charismatic when he wants.. honestly youd expect him to be in slytherin!

he likes to make fun of his friends, but he doesnt really mean it. if you tell him youre hurt, he'll go "sorry!!"

hes not good with words and social cues, making it hard for him to "read the room", so to say.

honestly he can be kind of an asshole! he likes doin questionable things and then watching people freak out about it.

he really likes feminine and revealing clothing! he haaaates being sexualized. hes ace, did you know? he says NO SEX! like, he likes being flirty and stuff but then he goes WHAT AHAHA no thank you

onto general fun facts !

he used to live in a really secluded place! so he isnt good with social interaction, but he does try! he loves talkin to people

circling back to him living in a secluded place, he doesnt know a lot about the world, both magical and muggle, despite being muggleborn.

hes close friends with daniel, colby, cassandra, kevin, and ivy !

as a kid, he lived on a farm by a lake, where he developed a love for fish and all sorts of swimmy creatures! since his family grows their own food, he also has a knack for gardening.

he and daniel are the popular boy and socially awkward little guy trope respectively (think jegulus)

transgbendr and gay.. i cant believe the gay agenda got to hogwarts

he gets really bad motion sickness! which prevents him from going on cars, brooms etc. he mostly gets around by apparition or portkey, but even those make him a bit dizzy.

when he grows up, he works for the ministry of magic under the department of international magical cooperation. you heard right. hes a fuckin politian

i cannot stress how unfit and probably malnourished this boy is. one flight of stairs and hes panting sweating n allat (LMAO frail victorian child)

victim of neglect haha

best subject is divination! he has a growing interest in haruspicy, the dissection and interpretation of entrails

[boag]

Omg I got so anxious at that party last night bc everyone was taking pics of each other and every time a camera got pointed at me I genuinely wanted to disappear 4ever I fucking haaaate when people take pics of me but it’s such an embarrassing thing for me I never know in the moment what to do or how to decline……. I am so insecure about the way I look at this point I need complete control over every detail of any picture being taken of me so I pretty much only do selfies these days bc anytime someone else takes a pic of me it makes me feel so bad about myself I literally get sick to my stomach 😭

[lovinggreeniehours]

i typed way more than i thought i would. but anyway here's some renachrome rambling

okay funny aspect of renachrome arc 3 aside, chrome is just really conflicted about his feelings regarding renata. he's upset and angry, but he also misses him a lot, and considering everything renata's been through (that chrome knows of) he is now very concerned and protective about renata's wellbeing. but there is also that frustration of dealing with renata's amnesia. now he feels like he'll never get any answers to all his questions. he feels like he'll never find any peace about the situation, and it troubles him a lot to the point he doesn't even want to bring it up. what would be the point of asking renata anything if he doesn't know the answer? and he's angry, yes, but he doesn't want to directly cause renata any more distress by bringing up,, all of that

so he keeps some distance between them, and tries to move past it. but somehow, renata still picks up on it. he doesn't know chrome all that well there, but there's a natural knowing that something is up between them. the thing is that without his memories, the only conclusion he comes up with is. "....the captain haaaates meee.. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 what did i do..... am i being annoying.... 🥹🥹 but i just got here.." which. SORRY i know i said this would be serious but 😭 god renata you're so silly lmao

and eventually, as renata slowly recovers more of his pre-amnesia behavior and personality (cough cough the standoffish-ness) he'd get more snappy about it. he gets sick of all the conflicted staring and weirdly charged conversations. by then, he gets an inkling that the captain knows more than he says he does and renata is so annoyed by his dancing around the topic, but feels like he doesn't have any evidence to confront him with. and now chrome feels. horrible 😭

like he didn't mean to make renata hate him, he just,,, didn't know what to do,,,,, AND THAT'S HIS BEST FRIEND OKAY,, but because of the wall he put up originally, they're distant and renata is happy making other friends, while with chrome it's like they only ever argue AND THEY BOTH FEEL SO BAD,,,,im sick
