#but yeah there's a bit of info about that in there

[enigmaris]

Red Hood held out his now uncovered hand as if to ask for a hand shake. Danny floated a bit closer and reached out with his own gloved finger. He poked into the back of the guy’s hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Dude, what if you’re contagious?”

“Can ghosts get sick?” Nightwing asked.

“There are ghost diseases, yeah.” Danny answered, still poking at Red Hood’s hand. “No ghost antibiotics, though. You just have to tough it out.”

“Is that what I have?”

“No.” Danny said. “You have something easier to fix.”

Danny floated back so that he was eye level with the two taller heroes. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at Red Hood.

“So, like. Is there a private place we could chat?”

“Private?” Nightwing asked. “Why? It isn’t fatal, is it?”

“Uh no? It's just personal. What’s it called Hippo? The doctor thing.”

“Are you talking about HIPAA?” Red Hood asked, sounding confused.

“That’s it!” Danny snapped a finger and pointed at Red Hood. “It’s personal medical info. We are on a rooftop in the middle of the biggest city I’ve ever been in. Do you want to go somewhere private?”

“I uh... No, here is fine.”

"Okay.” Danny said. “Cool then. So, these Lazarus Pits? I’ve never seen one, but I have heard of them from other older ghosts. Except we don’t call them that. They’re relatively common in the zone, but the locations are secret, you have to know someone who knows someone ya know?”

“Well, what are they?”

“Distilleries.”

“What?” Red Hood managed to look absolutely flabbergasted even with the full faced motorcycle helmet covering his head.

“Ghosts can’t eat human food, right? I mean we can, but we don’t taste anything. We don’t have the physical parts to digest human food and enjoy it like we did when we were alive.” Danny explained. “It’s the same thing for things like alcohol and drugs and things. So, a lot of adult ghosts still want to get drunk even though they’re dead. I died before 21 so I wouldn’t know, but like, there’s a desire for it.”

“What does this have to do with the Lazarus Pits?”

"Well, in order to make something we can taste, it has to be made with ectoplasm. Alcohol is not as easy to make as other stuff for ghosts. Alcohol is made using fermentation, right? Well ectoplasm doesn’t really. Do that. I mean ectoplasm is either inert or charged with emotional energy, if it gets charged enough it will form a ghost or spirit or something. It’s basically impossible to like, make ectoplasm ferment without risking your alcohol becoming the ghost of wines past.” Danny said, throwing a joke on the end there. Nightwing gave him a smile while Red Hood managed to glare at him through the full red facemask.

“There are ghosts who have figured out how to force ectoplasm to ferment. They basically invented ghost yeast, a sourdough starter of horror if you will. It takes centuries for ectoplasm to get good enough to be considered drinkable alcohol. So, what an enterprising barkeeping ghost will do is find like, an abandoned cave or something, fill it with ectoplasm dump the ghost yeast in there and leave it alone for like a thousand years to ripen. Then they’ll come back, bottle it up and sell it in the zone.” Danny continued.

"Are you telling me Red Hood is ghost drunk?” Nightwing asked.

“I’m saying he has a yeast infection.”

hi hi! i'm not sure if this is helpful or anything but irt your post about libido with hrt i think i have a ??helpful maybe?? definitely different perspective lol. just identifiable health info that i'd rather share anonymously; i hope this is alright

context: i'm trans (agender) but not medically transitioning yet, however i'm intersex with my variation being almost entirely based on hormone levels and stuff. short version: my puberty originally started with higher levels of E and lower levels of T (but much higher than a cis+perisex woman would naturally have). i *was* able to have periods, but they were. yknow. not with anatomy that fully fit *either* binary sex. because of that i was forced on low levels of E + androgen blockers, it made me really sick, stopped taking them, am now having puberty 2.0: almost entirely T edition! second important bit of context: am acespec, although questioning now haha

in my experience, and i think i've seen others talk about this too, e-based libido came in a more emotional form i guess? like, not quite attraction, but definitely the level of horniness that would come with that. i could get *distracted* by arousal, because it was my brain wanting the stimulation, not necessarily my genitalia. however, i wan't very frequently aroused at all, and had very very low libido.

when i was put on e+androgen blockers, as previously mentioned, i got fairly sick. while medical access was a problem so i can't be 100% sure about any of this, it's assumed that the (non menstrual related) symptoms were due to having too low T, and extremely inconsistent E. during this time, my libido was all over the place. during times when my E was too low, I got super horny, and it was an even mix of mental and physical arousal. when my E was too high, i could not be less horny. any attempts to masturbate or have sex would make me nauseous.

now that my doctors have agreed to let me idk just. exist in a body that doesn't conform to their standards lol. i'm having functionally second puberty, which is based almost entirely in T. I think it would have been a more natural transition between the "2" puberties had it not been interrupted in the middle, because what my hormones have stabilized as is. not QUITE 50/50. but close ish. and with testosterone, my libido went WAY up. like, to the point where i've started feeling significantly more sexual attraction, and am thus questioning my asexuality. but it's almost entirely physical arousal, as in I can get hard and. without being too tmi in a stranger's inbox. orgasms physical now. were not before.

anyways this is a far too long-winded (sorry 😅) way of saying: i think you're 100% correct about low levels of hormones causing low libido, but in my experience high estrogen did actually make me less horny. however, i still was horny it was just a type of horniness that's harder to measure on doctor's charts i'd assume. high testosterone, meanwhile, did exactly what doctors said it would do haha. i'm not sure if this is helpful or relevant to you and am sorry for the ramble but. yeah :3 hope you have a nice day ^-^

I don't have much to add or comment, but as I adamantly say, all experiences are good experiences to note and have information about. I'm really sorry for the insane fuckery of the medical system you've been through, but I'm glad you're able to share your experiences and provide something positive.

I might have a bit to say later but I at least want to get your experience out there!

CHERRY'S FORMAL APOLOGY.

soooooo...the seven deadly sins series : WHO'S EXCITED?

yeah, well, that excitement is unfortunately going to have to wait, my badddd. the update, here it is:

the first sin we will be covering is greed (op81), yay! BUT cherry is in a bit of a dilemma and i need ya'll to understand one thing - the story is giving greed, but it's not giving greed, if that makes sense? because of that, i have decided that it will not be posted on march 15th as i had originally planned. i want to be able to write something that makes you turn off your phone, shut your laptop, or wherever you read my shit from, and ask yourself: what the fuck did i just read?

so, i apologize from the depth of my tar black soul (she just has to mention lana del rey every chance she gets, right? *eye roll*). what i do offer for now is a bit of info regarding the fic and the writing process in order to hopefully get you excited!

so basically... i'm about to go full nelson on this hoe.

alright! until we meet again!

ps: all the seven deadly sins fics will be "inspired" by red sex (re-strung) [rakhi singh] bc the instrumental just SCREAMS greed, lust, pride, envy, gluttony, sloth, and wrath.

sincerely,

a girl with a dirty mind and a dream to write.

close call!

[erinwantstowrite]

folks,,,, i can not possibly write every single thing that has ever happened to these fools in the comics, in LoF. that would be decades worth of content and decades worth of a headache that i'm not bothering with. i don't even know what all is canon to LoF, just things that aren't canon because it would hurt my brain (or my heart) to include it. like i do try to keep it coherent but i don't know everything. if you want to include specific arcs then please write your own fic. love you and hope you succeed, but LoF is already a monster of a work and i can't even imagine trying to keep all of that together

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

Deeva Årud - Club Wear Voice Lines

When Summoned: Lights dimmed, tension building up… Are you ready to feel our rhythm? Summon Line: Playing music with friends is fun, I’m glad to be here even though I’m starting to feel a bit nervous.

Groooovy!!: We’d be delighted to see you at our next show. Spotting a familiar face among the crowd is always nice. Home: “Let’s rock and roll”, as some would say. Home Idle 1: I joined the Pop Music Club on my second year. Perhaps it’s quite a drastic change from my previous club but… it’d be a lie to say I’m not enjoying my time here. Home Idle 2: Most of the time I’m the one suggesting we should practice, but somehow Lilia, Cater and Kalim always distract me with all these unknown snacks and gadgets. Sometimes I have the feeling they do it on purpose… Home Idle 3: I need to warm my hands, it’s hard playing an instrument when they’re cold. Home Idle – Login: *humming Piece of My World* Ah- sorry, I didn’t see you there. Can I help you with something? Home Idle – Groovy: I’ve been playing violin and other instruments since I was a kid. My family has always had a connection with music and I’ll gladly continue this legacy. Conveying your thoughts and feelings through sounds is quite satisfactory. Home Tap 1: My first concert with them? Since it was the first time I’d be playing in front of many people, I knew I’d have a hard time trying to look at the audience. Cater noticed and told me to look at him so I could feel less overwhelmed… Let’s say I didn’t expect him to be so literal. His clones substituted the audience because no one came to see us. Home Tap 2: Hm, my violin? Indeed, it’s not the same one I use at Mostro Lounge. An electric violin is more suitable for the club’s activities. I’m surprised you noticed it. That means someone’s been paying too much attention to the musician playing ambience music… That was a joke. Home Tap 3: Kalim and I joined the club in the same year so I got to see how much he’s improved his drumming technique. It’s impressive. Certainly, Lilia’s been an excellent teacher to him. Home Tap 4: I like the idea of having customized masks for our performances. Maybe I should mention it once we have enough funds. Home Tap 5: I recently accepted to do some vocals just for our club sessions. You can come see us, but please refrain from telling everyone else. At the moment, I only feel comfortable singing for a few people. Home Tap – Groovy: When it comes to a band like this many wouldn’t think of a violinist, but that actually gives songs an interesting feeling, don’t you think? Duo: [DEEVA]: Ready for a shocking performance, Cater? [CATER]: Ready as ever, Dee-chan!

I'll be honest I never really gave Tim a second thought on my first listen through, but on a relisten I've realized that yeah actually that's me. That would be me. I too would get really frustrated and angry and make a million bad sarcastic jokes if I was trapped in The Office That Makes You Die Badly and could do nothing but wait around to die badly in the office. And also still had to fill out timesheets. I mayhaps would also lose my composure just a little actually.
