griddlehark gynecologist exam

HELPP . I know who this is. I blame this one on you!!

Gideon tenses. Thighs spread out, pussy exposed to the world. She’d forgone the stupid robe. Who needs a flimsy little dress? Gideon Nav is a tough butch, not ashamed of anything her cunt has to offer. Why should she be? She’s handsome, she’s hot, she’s delicious—multiple beautiful women online have told her so.

Normally, this is the type of situation she’d thrive in. Except—

“Now this may be a bit cold,” the woman in front of her says. Again, this is normally the type of situation Gideon would live for. A hot goth girl all dressed up in scrubs, inspecting Gideon within an inch of her life? Sign Gideon up!

It’s just, as the woman’s deep dark eyes alight on Gideon’s pussy, she pulls out the speculum.

“You mentioned you’ve had sex within the past year,” Dr. Nonagesimus says briskly. “So I’m using the larger one. Is that all right?”

Gideon manages a grunt that sort of sounds like “Yes.” Truth be told, she’s finding the doctor’s lack of bedside manners vaguely…arousing? Gideon shudders. Oh no.

As Dr. Nonagesimus inserts the tip of the speculum slowly into Gideon’s cunt, Gideon realizes she’s in trouble. Sure, she was lying about the sex. Look, it’s been a long year. But tell that to her cunt—she’s practically dripping onto the table. Dr. Nonagesimus slides the speculum in with a serene immovable confidence that would normally have Gideon on her knees.

Her cunt clenches. Dr. Nonagesimus makes a humming sound, neither surprised nor horrified. Just vaguely disapproving.

“Well, everything looks normal so far.”

“Normal?” Gideon says, quickly losing her grip on reality as Dr. Nonagesimus slides one careful finger in to part Gideon even wider. Her touch is clinical, but the sudden warmth of her fingers even through the gloves, the extra fullness—Gideon whines.

Time seems to stop. For a moment, no one says anything. Dr. Nonagesimus continues to inspect her pussy. Then her eyes flicker up to Gideon’s, and she raises one perfect eyebrow. She slides another finger in.

“Fuck, I’m sorry,” Gideon pants, as she clenches again and almost comes right then and there.

Dr. Nonagesimus leans closer to get a better look. “Nothing to be sorry for,” she says. “You’re doing so well—Gideon, is it?”

Gideon nods, focusing all her attention on the clock in the corner of the room, which informs her it has been less than five minutes since this exam started. She’s never felt so debased in her life, and the woman in front of her hasn’t even done anything.

Dr. Nonagesimus breathes out. Gideon can feel it on her cunt. She begs the gods for mercy—and for once, they hear her request.

The fingers in her cunt slide out along with the speculum, leaving her horribly empty.

“Congratulations, Gideon,” Dr. Nonagesimus says. “You don’t have cervical cancer.”

With that, she abruptly turns around and takes off her gloves. She washes her hands, then starts entering information into a computer.

Gideon lies there, speechless.

“You have my card,” Dr. Nonagesimus continues. “Call me if you need any…additional help.”

“Call you?” Gideon asks. She’s not sure she heard right.

Dr. Nonagesimus looks her directly in the eyes. One corner of her black-painted mouth twitches. “Yes. If you have any concerns.”

Oh, Gideon is concerned, all right.

(and so am I! she didn’t even make you pee in a cup, Gideon!!)

From our recent event of the fourth of July in the USA, I was also thinking of Japan's summer festivals. Besides yukata, are there kimonos that have festival themes like fireworks, festival decorations/sceneries, specific patterns, specific colors, etc.?

Japanese traditional culture is all about celebrating seasonality so indeed summer matsuri themed patterns are pretty common on summery items :)

(note that I used summer here in the Western sense of July/August. Traditional Japanese summer goes from something like May to July)

Yukata+kimono+obi+uchiwa are a staple, you can also find happi (tube sleeves coats) but those tend to bear mon (crests) and auspicious kanji.

Other festival garments count for example yosakoi (type of dance groups) uniforms, but those are more performance oriented. Otherwise, what would be a matsuri without fundoshi loincloth ;) (see how to tie one here)

On the top of my head, summer festival patterns can include (please note some are not summer only):

hanabi (fireworks)

dashi/yatai (parade float), used during processions. Mikoshi (portable shrine) is theorically possible but I don't remember seeing such a pattern

kingyo (goldfishes), kingyosukui is a popular summer game

fuurin (windchimes), often sold at matsuri

men (masks), most often kitsune or tengu but many more exist

toys, like dendendaiko (rattle drum) for ex.

matoi (firemen poles), brigades often present acrobatic shows in summer

chouchin (paper lantern), also see Obon below

etc.

Japan holds a myriad matsuri all across the country, each with their own traditions. But big celebrations often have related patterns:

Tanabata has stars, bamboo, tanzaku, magpies, ox, etc.

Obon has lanterns, cucumber, eggplant, death themed motifs (like nozarashi or graveplates), nod to Kyoto's Daimonji kanji, etc.

Famous festivals also have their own imagery (yamaboko float for Gion matsuri ex.).

As for colors, scarlet red is often found on matsuri decors, and indigo blue is a classical summer color (yukata were once dyed with it), but tbh any can be used nowadays :)

I really like romances that highlights a complex relationship with desire. what’s that one quote. found it, it’s the siken quote that goes “the enormity of my desire disgusts me” and “there’s only one thing I want, don’t make me say it” LOVE that. it’s so fun. denial and repression and self-loathing! some of my favorite ingredients for a romance.

Truly heartbreaking to see a meme that generalizes autism special interests/adhd hyperfixations as a purely fandom thing/excludes ye old trains and encyclopedia folks like me. ‘Who was your favorite character from your first hyperfixation???’ Well. Uh, this is kinda awkward, but it was rose quartz. No, not from Steven Universe, I mean rose quartz from my geology books. Granite was always a close second but ehhh you know how it is with igneous rocks there’s too much variation to say granite is my favorite vs rose quartz which tends to be more consistent because it’s a crystalline mineral with definite composition.

being a trans guy is weird bc it's like you feel alienated by language a lot of the time. you feel invalidated when you relate to things only girls are supposed to relate to and you feel invalidated when you don't relate to things boys are supposed to relate to. it's just kinda weird sometimes. it's hard to explain

now that you mention it people really should put shuake in more situations as in whimsical ones if im being honest. make them cook rice together is what im saying. maybe goro makes it competitive and akiren doesnt wanna lose and it ends in the most unorthodox stalemate in the world. theres so much you can do with these two its so endearing

doing embroidery makes me feel so creative i’ll be in the middle of the most annoying stitching in the world and in the back of my mind there’s a little guy writing down ideas like ‘what if i learned ribbon embroidery’ and ‘how can i get into crewel’ and ‘what if i made bespoke doll outfits’ etc etc etc

…I really hope I’m not just a footnote in my current friends’ lives. I’m kinda tired of filling the slot of Substitute Until Something BETTER comes then ultimately left behind. (I’m also tired of dealing with my damn avoidance regarding relationships with people older than me ‘cause I don’t want to drain and burden them.)

IME the sound of one mandible clacking is bruxism. So I do a lot of this instead:

If I had mandibles I'd clack them together like tongs all the time
