do you enjoy wearing diapers 24/7? 😊 if yes what is the best part of it for you? Would you recommend diapered lifestyle 24/7 for non-incontinente people, if the idea of being diapered 24/7 / incontinence is still in their mind? 😁

I do and I don’t but that’s because I don’t have a choice being a bed wetter I wake up just wet and during the day I will look down and my pull up is soaked without me knowing. It gets worse over time to

I will say it does help me feel baby faster and cozy in the winter. I also only like my clothing now when I wear a diaper it gives me more booty

I wouldn’t 100% recommend being 24/7 with no breaks because it does come with negatives but if you are doing 24:7 I can at least give tips as it’s been 4 years for me

I find it best to take breaks if you can let your skin have a break

Negatives : • Skin discolorations • Skin scars • Overheating • Having to constantly shave • More sensitive skin (for me it’s more a risk as I have a allergy to plastic adhesive tapes)

Tips : • Switch between cloth and plastic diapers • Diaper Cream and powder every time • Witch Hazel on wipes for woman’s PH Level • Change more frequently you can drink more water to fill them faster

One thing I struggled with when I was in my 20s during my coming-of age-story of blooming into Goddess spirituality as taught by one of my mentors/muses was how semen was healthy for the female body. This is a common way of thinking with those who practice tantra, kama sutra, divine union, ancient temple arts, etc., and what is pushed in "Goddess- centered" and of course heteronormative patriarchal women spaces. However, the most disciplined, healthy, regenerative, mentally-clear men will always practice semen retention, which means that they would NOT release their semen into a woman's body during sex, and would circulate it internally throughout their own body to increase their organs' vitality instead, unless both parties were desiring to procreate a child. The thinking that semen was generally healthy for the female body as also taught in one of my favorite books "The Sexual Secrets of the White Tigress (a book I obviously don't completely agree with but helped to expand my consciousness) never fully added up with me and no one could ever answer my inquiry that "if semen is so healthy for the female body, why do the healthiest, strongest men have to practice semen retention....why would the divine be so cognitive-dissonant..lol?" I would not be surprised if our Western world had a centuries-old, clandestine operation to weaken both the female and the male body so that neither one of us would know our full power and magical potential. And I know many women whose pH balance and vaginal biomes gets out of wack after having penetrative sex with their male lover. There is so much division and anti-male propaganda out there, and that's not what I'm up to nor is it a conversation or line of thinking I would ever participate in. I'm more interested in women and other female-bodied people coming into our full alive power and magic—softening and strengthening our bodies and life force energy, expanding our minds, integrating our shadows, and birthing real authentically beautiful lives of rest, nourishment, regeneration, adventure, and ease that shift the collective energy forward into more love and life-giving resolutions. I wrote this to encourage those with female bodies to question everything, including me, because the "truth," whatever that means, will also influence your entire physiology overtime. What I know is that most of what we have been taught are lies and made up by men and patriarchal-centered women, for the benefit of men. Many of you have asked me private questions around working out and getting back active and strong in your body, but also express how tired and inflame your body is, could this be why? Because what I also know is that there are plenty of men who dump their stress, disappointments in life, rage, anger, and the like into women's bodies when they ejaculate therefore women have to be more intuitive and mindful in choosing lovers. But there is so much unlearning that every human must be willing to do in order to live healthier more emotionally-intelligent lifestyles thereby be awake enough to not continue to make a series of bad decisions in life. Because there are plenty of healthy, dutiful, deeply loving men out there to choose from if/when you are interested. May the veil of conditioning be lifted from the inner eye so that you begin to know who you truly are. Elevate your frequency so that you CAN be more grounded, centered and clear in your choosing. And what's also true is there is valid nuance as well that I won't be able to go into here on this blog at this time. -India Ame'ye, Author

simple skincare tips!

🌼eat the foods that love you back. your skin is a direct mirror of your internal situation. if your digestive system is being bombarded often by foods that create a lot of wastes and residues, that does more harm than good. and so, the struggle to eliminate them will be reflected in your skin. your diet constitutes the vast majority of your skin health. change your meals to be whole food plant based (still delicious, satisfying, and exciting) & watch your skin glow and your skincare routine simplify.

🌼be conscious of what's going on your skin. the skin layers can be over-cleansed, imbalanced, and aggravated when the skin microbiome and pH are disrupted. if you wipe out the beneficial bacterial populations with harshly formulated products, you may find that you break out (i.e. harmful bacterial populations begin to thrive). use gentle, simple skin formulas such as castile soaps, natural oils & butters (i recommend jojoba oil for mostly everyone), natural soap bars, and clays. most commercial skin care products disturb the skin cells (introduce too much foreign material to the body, unsuitable pH ranges, imbalance the microbiome, etc). they sell because it's convention to buy them, the brands are well-known, and their sales pitches are enticing. but really, no cream or serum will ever be the magic potion your skin was asking for. it will only be a band-aid, at best. truly healthy skin comes from diet, and the products are just for any other necessary maintenance. if you get a pimple, you should look first to why the pimple emerged, not what treatment will remove it.

🌼keep your lymph flowing. simple ways to do this are through good lifestyle habits. things like doing exercise & sports you find fun, breathwork, dry brushing, eating lots of fruit, avoiding wearing bras & other tight clothing items, lymphatic massage/gua sha can all be helpful.

🌼focus on hydration via fresh fruits and veggies. the water within plant foods is more useable to your cells, and your skin will cease being overly oily or dry overtime (especially if you reduce/eliminate your salt & oil intake). it will also help to encourage lymphatic flow, so you can see problems like blemishes, cellulite, old scars diminish after great consistency.

🌼allow your skin to breathe. this is especially good if you spend time in stuffy (poorly ventilated) indoor environments, like offices, hospitals, planes, etc. one great way is via herbal facial steaming (i recommend it 3x a week or so). make a hot infusion of an aromatic tea, cover it and allow it to cool a few minutes, and, with closed eyes, allow the pores to open and receive the herbal medicine (this is a great time to meditate, manifest, and just feel pampered). getting more fresh air, working up a sweat, and going to a sauna are also ways to allow your skin to breathe.

🌼avoid steroid prescriptions creams at all costs. they are very deleterious to health in the long term, and they can be very painful to come off of. it's not a real fix. it's not worth hurting your kidneys & adrenals for. evaluate your diet instead. do you eat dairy? choose plant-based dairy options instead (they're simple to make yourself too). do you eat a lot of fats? try oil-free cooking methods instead (opt for sautéing with a bit of water, baking, steaming, air frying, etc). avoiding eating out as much.

🌼be aware of what you're putting in your hair as well. your shampoos, conditioner, leave-ins, gels, moisturizers, oils, serums, etc all tend to touch your face too, when your hair touches your face. if they wouldn't be good enough to put on your face, don't put them in your hair. a lot of the best skin cleansers are also suitable as shampoos. a lot of oils and butters can be used for both. plant-based gels like aloe vera or flax seed are simple to DIY, and are dual-use once again. basically, this will simplify your life.

🌼understand the water that runs through your pipes. if your shower and tap water are like most people's around the world, they aren't optimal for our skin. for example, they contain added chemicals to sanitize the water but that can prevent the proper microbiomes from developing on your skin. a weak skin microbiome is prone to skin issues. so, try to use distilled water on your face (if you're not able to get a water filter, a gallon jug at a store is affordable. they're about $1.30 USD in my area).

Here's what I think: Smoke and mirrors everyone - smoke and mirrors!!

1. So for every 1 event she does she has to go on vacay (Yeah right!) She's FULL of it!!

2. How different is she from the York girls and their lavish lifestyles?

She Never spends time with the kids and

She immediately has to put on the Soho hat to take a break at billionaires islands. 🤔

3. Also, People are saying this is from 2016,

4. ALWAYS look at the opposite of what she puts out there.

It's a pic of their back this could be anyone. She loves to Photoshop

5. Also: Her Soho hat, where she met PH is back.

She has been trying to sell herself to the Rockefeller guy and these islands are notorious playing world's for billionaires.

Therefore, who's she signalling to that she's at that particular island?

Who does she want to know that she is available to play at that island?

6. Lastly, they're not vacaying together rather it's the opposite.

Definitely separate, especially after her pushing around in Invictus and New York.

Makes me think announcements coming soon.

Don't forget to check out @jillydillypickles and her reblog and what she found on this subject.

What do you think?

house md ladies - bush headcanons

cuddy -- full bush. there is literally zero question about this. she washes it with shampoo AND conditioner, and it doesn't even fuck up her ph levels because the bush is just That full and thick and opulent. the woman hasn't actually seen her clit since '89 - but don't worry, she's still able to locate it, of course.

cameron - shaved bikini line + trim. obsessively neat in the first few seasons, but has some whimsy with it later on (plus, life as an ER doc is hectic as hell, so it wouldn't always be the prettiest, but she finds that she doesn't actually mind. she and chase come up with names for the different cuts she sports sometimes, like "sonic the hedgehog", "the emo kid", etc.)

thirteen -- now. i feel it is utterly significant to approach this question scientifically, and do a case-by-case analysis for each season.

season 4 thirteen is young, she's fun, she really wants this job, work hard play hard, etc, but there are also The Demons - so i feel like she'd keep it somewhat trimmed, but she got other things going on right now. season 5 thirteen oscillates between waxing every inch of it raw, and then not touching it at all for like two months. this is a symbolism of her extreme and risque partygirl lifestyle as well as suicidal ideation. foreman era thirteen keeps it trimmed verrrry short because that's how he likes it. jail era thirteen has a full bush, because there are no razors in jail, but she discovers she actually prefers it this way. season 8 thirteen and her wife amy maximize their joint full bush slay and ride off into the greek sunset together. there are two slight, pleasant breezes.

amber -- she has a specific waxing salon she is a regular at - literally Regular as in, same day of the month, every month, on the dot. because no u don't understand. it has to be a PERFECT triangle. if even a singular follicle of hair is out of place, she Will make it everyone's problem. amber volakis is not above asking to speak to the manager on account of a scalene pubic hairdo. and no, she doesn't WANT a refund, it's about the PRINCIPLE - she is an ambitious woman in her 30s and how is she supposed to ACCOMPLISH her AMBITIONS if she doesn't have 100% pussy confidence??!! all she's asking for is a triangle that could be used in a college-level maths textbook to demonstrate the pythagorean theorem, is that so hard? i mean, if you're going to pursue a career in waxing, the least you should be able to do is a proper triangle.

she tips generously, once they finally do get it right.

masters -- full bush, she dyes it ginger to keep it matching the drapes.

Gilbert Baker's Pride Legacy: an LGBT Legacy Challenge

General Concept & General Rules

This Sims 4 challenge is based on Gilbert Baker’s original 8 stripe rainbow pride flag. Baker assigned each stripe a meaning connecting to the LGBT community. Each generation embodies one of these stripes and their meanings. 

Every generation heir must complete their aspiration and reach the top level of their careers. Each heir must wear at least one item of their respective stripe colors at all times. Each heir can be any gender, including trans and nonbinary genders, unless specified otherwise.  Each heir can be any sexuality, unless specified otherwise.  The only rule: the main sim cannot be both cisgender and heterosexual/heteromantic.  You are encouraged to hang the pride flag of your sim’s identity, whatever you decide it is.

For written rules, keep reading below. For rules in graphic form, see here.

Note: Diversity is a cornerstone of our community. Please be conscious of the sims you use to play this challenge- LGBT people can be all body types, all races, and all religions. Everyone deserves spaces in the community and in your gameplay.

You were raised by extremely uptight parents and were denied every aspect of pleasure as a child.  Now, as a young adult, it’s time to explore! You’ve always enjoyed the finer things in life - that is, sex, food, and art.  You might have a little bit of a hedonistic streak, but what’s wrong with that? So did Dorian Grey! Your goals in life are to have as much sex, eat as much good food, and see as much great art as possible.

Gen 2: Red (Life)

Your parent/s brought you up in a life of luxury - you always had the best food, the best clothes, and you spent lots of time at art museums.  You want everyone else to be able to experience life’s same pleasures, so you turn to charity.  You like to make everything with your own hands and give them away - it makes you happy to see your work out in the world, making others happy and living in community.  That’s the meaning of life, isn’t it?

Note: this gen has two aspirations, which might feel overwhelming, but the Neighborhood Confidante one is only one level, and the goals overlap with this gen’s goals!

Give to charity at least once a week after you move out of your parents’ home

Gen 3: Orange (Healing)

Your parent/s loved to give away everything they had.  While that’s an admirable choice, you’re a little different.  You’re all about objects - you like to have as much as possible, in order to provide a good life for your future children.  You fall in love young and immediately start a family, hoping to spend the rest of your life with them.  Unfortunately, you get too wrapped up in your work and your spouse divorces you. You spend the rest of your life trying to help your children and heal yourself. You’re also a very caring person and want to help everyone you can, and you choose a career which allows you to do so.  All you want is to see your kids succeed in life.

Gen 4: Yellow (Sunlight)

Your parent/s were always really set on you being successful, which was annoying. Not that you don’t want to be successful, it’s just that your definition of success is pretty different than theirs. You’ve always felt a little different, a little alien in your own body. When you’re a teenager you realize you’re trans, and begin taking steps to feel more at home with yourself.  As an adult, you’re happier than you’ve ever been, and you’ve even found the love of your life and discovered your love of music - the only thing is, you’ve been so focused on your transition you forgot about… the career, making-money part of life.  You don’t really care.  You find a small house and live there with your partner and children, never working, just enjoying your happiness and creativity.

Gen 5: Green (Nature)

Your parents were the perfect couple, and they never stopped talking about it. They were each other’s first and only loves, and they want the same kind of never-ending love for their children.  The thing is, you’re not sure you’re into that sort of thing. The most important thing, to you, is Mother Earth. You’re dedicated to preserving nature just as it is - and you find a group of friends who have just the same goal.  You live with them your whole life, and eventually you decide to adopt a child together.  You’re excited to pass on your love for the environment to a new generation.

Make your heir have the bad manners character trait (PH) (alternative: unhappy infant trait)

Gen 6: Turquoise (Magic)

Your group of caregivers taught you to value and care for nature. So you took it to the next level and connected with nature so much that you became a spellcaster. You use your magic to help others, mostly - and summon a few animal friends. Your unusual communal upbringing gave you a few interesting traits- you’re fine eating out of the garbage, and you’re always up for an adventure, no matter how reckless. But you’re fun-loving and magical, and what more could anyone ask for?

Traits

Adventurous (SE) (alternative: goofball)

Loves Outdoors

Secret Agent

Have only one child, make the child have the low self-esteem trait (GWT) (alternative: unhappy infant trait)

Have a partner in crime as a child or teen, pull three successful pranks at school

Gen 7: Blue (Harmony)

Your parent was fun-loving and literally magical- they could summon animals at will and clean the floors with a flick of the wrist. Unfortunately, that kind of lifestyle didn’t bode well for a stable upbringing. You’re going to do everything you can to be the parent you never had- you’re determined to have a large, loving family, living in harmony with the world and each other. You want the most typical, average, perfect suburban life possible. But you have some… erratic traits you inherited from your parent. Plus, society’s idea of a “perfect normal family” doesn’t include a nonbinary, bisexual parent. These things seem like obstacles to your dreams- but eventually you realize it’s not you that’s wrong, it’s just that society’s picture of perfect harmony needs to change to include you.

Sim Characteristics: this sim must like multiple genders and be nonbinary/genderqueer

Traits

Erratic

Perfectionist

Romantically Reserved (LS) (alternative: Family Oriented)

Career

Salaryperson (SE), either branch (alternative: business, either branch)

Aspiration

Big Happy Family

Goals

Have 4 kids

Take your family on vacation at least once in adult life (to any vacation world, or alternatively, to a park every day for a week)

Max the parenting (PH), baking (GtW), and knitting (NK) skills (alternatives: charisma, handiness, cooking)

Have a max relationship with a high school sweetheart, but break up and marry someone else

Live in a typical blue suburban house in Brindleton Bay (C&D), Copperdale (HSY), Willow Creek, or Newcrest

Have two cats or two dogs (C&D) (alternative: have another child)

Gen 8: Violet (Spirit)

You had the perfect suburban life. Your childhood home was filled with laughter and love and many, many siblings. Your parent had a steady job and was the kindest, most loving parent in the world. But you still feel like there’s something missing. As a child you hate being around people and instead find solace in fictional worlds. Finally, you realize you’re missing some excitement, a spark, and a deep community. You decide to reconnect with your ancestors - both your actual family ancestors, and your queer ancestors of the past. They guide you throughout your life and lead you to your happiness, helping you gain confidence, love, and spirit - and help you realize you’re not alone in this world.

Sim Characteristics: if you’re a part of the LGBT community, I encourage you to make this sim reflect your own identity, if possible! If you’re not, I encourage you to make this sim an identity you haven’t encountered thus far in this challenge- go through the flags and see which ones you haven’t used!

Traits

Loner

Self-assured

Bookworm

Career

Freelance Paranormal Investigator (PS) (alternative: freelance writer)

Aspiration

Extreme Sports Enthusiast (SE) (alternative: bodybuilder)

Goals

Secret or Golden

Day 2 of @tes-summer-fest

Late to the party, but I had a vivid image in my head for this prompt and needed to write it out.

No beta, wrote this in 30 minutes, but I needed to get this out. Enjoy!

-------------

For all Teldyrn’s gripes about Riften, the natural sights were a sight for sore eyes.

After living decades upon decades in ashfilled wastelands, craggy cliffsides, or snow covered plains it was nice to settle down somewhere with an abundance of green. Not to mention the lakeside home with a personal dock.

It was about sunset, and the sun was sparkling perfectly off Lake Honrich. All around the area were birch trees with their beautiful stark white trunks and glittering orange leaves waving in the wind. The last of the fishing boats were coming to shore, muffled and distant cries of orders as people rushed to get back home. Teldryn throught the nearby fishery would cast this place in a terrible stench but the wind was blowing just right and blowing it far away from this perfect sight.

He couldn’t say that this was his own piece of Aetherius unfortunately. No, that belonged to his patron that was just coming out of the house with a towel over her head.

Freshly bathed and finally dressed in something casual, Yera plopped down on the chair next to him and scrubbed at her hair to get the last of the water out.

“You’ve got a nice place here, boss,” he commented to her. “Can see why you were rushing us to get back here.”

“Mostly that, yeah,” she responded under the towel. “The other half of it is if I don’t come back home every so often, Brynjolf sends every padfoot in the country looking for me begging me to come back. Like a mother hen that one but the sentiment is nice.”

That was another part of his boss he wasn’t expecting. Being Dragonborn was shocking enough, but also being head of a guild of thieves threw a wrench in his image of her. Teldryn didn’t have the highest opinions on thieves and cheats; compared to his life as a mercenary and living a particularly bloody lifestyle it seemed tame and cowardly to sneak away and steal your living.

He still didn’t understand it completely, but what he did understand was that these were her people and they had her back. Just the same that Yera made the effort to come back to homebase and take care of home before being whisked away onto another adventure. They seemed like… ‘nice’ enough people. Teldyrn walked away with all his armor and gold intact after the first meet-and-greet.

These were thoughts for another time. What was more important was he was going to bunk up with his boss in her fancy lakeside house for free. And his own furnished room with a feather mattress! Luxury of the highest order in his opinion.

“What are the next plans, if any?” he asked her.

“I’ve got Guild business to work on, but otherwise I feel like we deserve a break after all that nonsense on Solstheim,” Yera answered. “You’re welcome to anything in the house, within reason, and to any plans you’d like to make. I think you especially deserve it after what I dragged you through.”

“If you ever need help saving another island from an ancient dragon priest bent on taking over Nirn and steal your own soul for power, I need a bigger pay bonus to do it again.”

Yera scoffed at him and threw the towel resting on her head in his general direction. He swatted it out of the air with a laugh that caught halfway in his throat when he looked at her.

Caught in the tangled locks of her hair was the sun. Light caught in her white hair, reflecting it like spun gold.

Her eyes, half lidded against the sun, similarly caught the light and for the barest of moments he thought he could see gold in those eyes.

Teldryn had seen Yera in many different forms; ranging from a wandering stranger into the Retching Netch, to a towering warrior over a freshly burning dragon, to a frightening stillness while recovering in a tent after her final fight.

Never had he seen her quite as relaxed and calm as she was now.

It was a phenomenal sight.

One he had to shake himself out of neigh immediately after that thought.

They fell into a silent lull after, appreciating the ambient sound of the lake and nature around them. The songbirds singing their evening calls, beckoning flockmates to their roosts to sleep the evening away. An occasional fish leaping out of the water, splashing water into liquid gold in the fading sun’s light. 

Teldryn dreamed of retiring to a place like this. Away from the ash and trauma of his homeland to somewhere free of such scars. Somewhere fresh and alive at every turn. The idea of one day finally hanging up his sword and never needing to pull it down again was a goal somewhere in the far, far, far future.

And as he dreamed of how much gold he needed to live that dream, his eyes kept drifting toward his companion. In the final rays of light, the sky was cast in a myriad of pinks and oranges and reds. The birch trees with their orange leaves made for a brilliant background as he gazed once more at the golden visage of his friend, catching the sun with her very being.

For a single moment, he wanted to reach out and run his fingers through her hair. To touch that glimmering gold just once.

Then the moment was lost, the sound of a door opening and closing in the house.

“That must be Lydia back from the market,” Yera said, standing up from the chair. “I’ll head inside and get started on dinner. You’re welcome to stay out here as long as you want.”

“I’ll… stay out here a bit longer,” Teldryn answered back. “I won’t be long.”

With a nod, Yera turned and re-entered her home, calling out to Lydia before the door shut behind her.

Alone on the porch once more, Teldryn finally took the moment to hunch over and cradle his face in his hands.

‘You’re a professional,’ he thought to himself. ‘You can’t be thinking about your boss like this.’

But he couldn’t get the image out of his head of a relaxed Yera. Sitting quietly on a porch in her home, the wind fluttering her hair, and gold in her eyes.

NSFW Topic Warning

Stark contrast from the posts I usually make, but this one's gonna have NSFW topics because I'm pissed off about things so be warned.

It's really been getting under my skin lately that non-fetishized lesbian porn made for and by other lesbians is SO hard to find. Another alter in the system, his name is Milo, is a stricly gay trans man and it's SO EASY for him to find content when he wants it. Even gay porn of trans men! But the second I go looking for lesbian porn, all I can find is straight women being sexy at a camera for straight men to fetishize. And I can tell because there is such a wide difference between the framing and videography and tones of fetishistic "#lesbian" content and actual sapphic content and the former just makes me feel so gross. I don't want to be fetishized, I just want to be horny!

I refuse to use PH partly because of the fetishization but mostly because of the mass exploitation and abuse that happens on there that goes completely unreported and unpunished not just of adult sex workers but also of children and teens that shouldn't be on camera in the first place. I normally use Twitter, but that's where my problem lies in trying to find decent content! I managed to find a singular good account, but not only is all of their content just the same maybe 7-10 videos reposted every month so there's NOTHING new, but they also repost straight content and while that's not, like, a bad thing I just want to be a lesbian in peace!! Without straight people!!

I vented these frustrations with a friend recently and he recommended a BDSM site but the thing is I'm not really into BDSM. I'm not looking for kinky stuff like that- not that anything's wrong with it. BDSM is genuinely one of the healthiest lifestyles I know of when done correctly- I literally just want vanilla lesbian porn made by lesbians for other lesbians! And for some reason, that's so much to fucking ask for!

I think the part of all this that really ticks me off is that content of gay men is so accessible. I can't even count the amount of accounts on twitter who are all gay men (cis AND trans men) making exclusively gay content for other gay men, but the fact that I can't even find ONE good account for lesbian content? It pisses me off!

In all the strides we've made in being a more accepting society of LGBTQ+, why the fuck is it so hard to find stuff like this? Why do the queer men get to have a good time, but I'm struggling to find ONE good source of exclusively sapphic content? Not to say that queer men have it easy, we're all struggling in the same boat don't get me wrong. But it just sucks that the sapphic side of the boat still has a good amount more water in it than the boys' side.

All of this in addition with the stereotypes? The whole thing of people expecting sapphic relationships to be a masculine, woodworking, flannel wearing butch and a dainty, nails and makeup, princess-like femme when there is SO much more than that! Butch4Butch lesbians I love you so much, Femme4Femme lesbians you are doing SO great sweetie. Lesbians who don't really fall into either category, you are incredible! Nonbinary lesbians, you're amazing and keep up the good work! Transbians, you are the bravest fucking people on the planet and I hope you get to fight God one day because you WILL win and you deserve that W.

Not to mention the weird purity culture involved with other queer people trying to palette us for straight people? Saying that lesbians as a whole are soft and nice and pretty? Girl, we're not all coquette and Lana Del Rey. Some of us are, sure, but there is literally no way to try and market lesbians to heteronormative society in a little bow because we don't all fit in one box! And yes, lesbians have sex! It's not all soft romance and cuddling and holding hands on cafe dates. Just like literally every and any other kind of couple, while there's still romance and cutesy moments we still get horny and worked up like literally any other person on earth (Other than asexuals. Not all of you, of course. Shout out to asexuals who still have sex, I see you and you are loved). And what happens when we do? We fuck! We have hot lesbian sex and it's great!

Also, might I add that it's really misogynistic to try and label lesbians as this group of pure, innocent, soft and fluffy group of women who couldn't possibly have a sex drive! Or on the other hand, saying that all lesbians are horndogs who can't keep themselves off each other- because I've seen that one, too! I hate being labeled like this, why is it SO HARD for people to just accept that lesbians are literally just people. We're just like everyone else- the ONLY thing different is that we don't wanna be romantically or sexually involved with men. That is IT!!!!!

And in terms of the lack of good sapphic content, it also goes beyong porn! Literally every sapphic show I've seen released in the past few years has been cancelled after ONE season and then a lot of it just gets deleted entirely so that one season isn't even available anymore!! But the you have Heartstoppers and Love, Simon and I just! I'm happy that we as a community have fought hard enough to have these things. I'm not trying to drive a wedge between the achillean and sapphic communities. I just wish us sapphics got the same treatment as the men do.

I love being a lesbian, don't get me wrong. But sometimes I am exhausted from being overlooked. From being glanced over and shoved into a box that I nor anyone else in that box fits into. I want to be a lesbian in peace.

It sounds like everything is going swimingly and PH won't need to return to the UK. And with friends in high places, like Ellen G, they are good to go. Personally, if this article truly reflects the state of things, it would be good news for the BRF. Here's hoping!

[steampunker134]

Do you have any HCs about when Lazard started working as the director of SOLDIER? Were SOLDIERs happy to have a new person in a fancy suit to command them? Were they quick to trust? Any issues? Anything in SOLDIER's habits, attitude or lifestyle that Lazard felt needed to be changed immediately?

(It's criminal how you're not getting asks)

*cracks knuckles* Okay so-

I am a firm believer that Heidegger was in charge of SOLDIER before the Mako-altered SOLDIER’s became the standard. I believe that Lazard started as a low-ranking employee, and eventually caught President ShinRa’s eye, and was promoted to Director of a SOLDIER-specific division. No, I don’t think that his subordinates liked him at first! He was a suit, a white-collar bossing them around! It wasn’t until later, when he put himself in danger to see the situations they were in (something Heidegger would NEVER do), that SOLDIER began to value their director.

I definitely think that he offered them the PHS system, as well as more leisure time. You’ll notice that he gives orders to the First class rarely, more often asking them their opinions and working with them to assign mission crews. I firmly believe that is something that he initiated, as pre-CC Sephiroth obeys every order to perfection, while in CC he puts his foot down more often regarding his missions.

(It’s okay, boss! I am amazed to be getting an ask at all!!!)

Tubbo

Fawn (goat hybrid)

15 years old

Fawns are a common hybrid type originating mostly from the Alps, Apennis, and Balkan mountain ranges. Fawns are considered medium sized hybrids, alongside humans, canids, and creerids, with an average height of five and a half feet tall and average weight of around 140 lbs. 

The following are the standout traits of the fawn. Their cloven hooves and keratin tipped fingers, which help with climbing the often steep and rocky mountains of their original range. These hooves require more care than the paws or flat feet found in many other hybrids, especially with them not being worn down naturally due to modern sedentary lifestyles. Most of this care can be done at home, but professional farriers are also common in many urban centers. Their horns, which are not a sex related trait, as is often believed, but rather related various somatic genes which determine the size, number, and shapes of the horns. Polled fawns do exist, but are uncommon. Fawns, like true caprines (goats and sheep), also have a natural resistance to head injury when hit from the front, although this resistance lessens with age. Their GI tract. Fawns are pre gastric ruminants, giving a healthy fawn the ability to break down a much higher variation of foliage than many other hybrids. Unlike true caprines, fawns are not totally reliant on their rumens for proper digestion, and are therefore highly unlikely to run in to health issues such as acidosis, however it’s still recommended that fawns manage their rumen health appropriately by doing things such as taking appropriate prebiotics, eating fiber heavy diets, monitoring their microbiome, and avoiding microbe unfriendly foods and drinks, such as highly acidic foods and alcohol.

Tobias “Tubbo” Schlatt is a good example of a typical fawn. Standing at 4’11” he’s on the shorter side, but still well within 2 standard deviations from the mean height of a fawn his age. His horns are also growing in well, with nothing to note there. His hooves are slightly overgrown and beginning to turn in, either more diligent home care or more frequent trips to a professional ferrier are recommended. His rumen microbiome panel does show a lower pH level and lower biodiversity than would be ideal, prebiotics and probiotics have been recommended, along with a higher fiber diet. Overall Tubbo’s physical health is good.

Tubbo was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 7, but his reading level is on track for his age. Tubbo attends Mother Prime University Preparatory school and his grades are average. Overall his psychological health appears good, but due to the stressors at home (single parent household, deceased mother, blended family) a more in depth psychological evaluation is recommended.
