location: choose your adventure

Taking a step back from the cameras was what Jazmin needed, but she didn't realize it would be this weird without them around. She had to find her place in Aurora Bay and she had been feeling a little uncomfortable with having Ford so close in proximity. She never had a place in this town before so she had to climb that wall as well. She'd adjust and make it through as she always had.

All she needed was to sit down, have a drink and relax for a moment as she picked the ideas in her head to execute her new life.

Just as she lifted her glass, she felt the presence of someone by how stiff the space next to her felt. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." Jaz muttered under her breath after she set her cup down. Out of all the other empty seats far from her, this person just had to sit next to her.

"I don't want anything that you're offering." She said with a slight wave of her hand.

closed: @aeris-flores location: their complex

Whatever had possessed her into going to an actual rave was now a sworn enemy of hers. Every aspect of the night, including the build up, was completely out of character for Lorna. Right down to the outfit she'd borrowed off a friend to wear that barely covered the parts of her body she wanted hidden. The incessant loud music, excessive drinking and nonchalant drug use, it had all become too much for her, at the late time of three o'clock in the morning mind.

It was a mystery what she had currently coursing her through system and making her stumble, however, she hoped the sensibility she had would have limited her to just alcohol. That was bad enough.

As she reached home, she staggered towards her front door, and for the first time, thankful that she occupied the ground floor. Although, it was short lived, as that gratefulness turned to panic when she was unable to locate her keys in the small clutch she'd brought with her — impressed that it had even survived the night.

Shit.

A few pounds and a weak kick to the door unfortunately didn't blow it down. And she wasn't stupid enough to leave it unlocked. There was only one other option, and she was pretty sure that if she were sober, she'd never venture into this realm of bad ideas.

She practically climbed up the stairs that led to her neighbor's apartment, before slouching herself against the door frame, hands running over her face as her head boomed to a silent beat.

"Aeeeris..." She moaned, before impulsively turning her seated body to deliver a couple of thumps to his door.

"Come on, I need you." Her voice faded out, as a tiredness came over her and her eyes began to close, slowly accepting the fact that she may be spending the night against his door.

Mason was amused at the fact Aeris made it known how bad of an idea of getting matching tattoos was. Hell he wanted to continue pestering him about it but instead kept his mouth shut for once. Which normally was a hard thing for him to do.

"Damn...are you trying to place a curse on me?" He did hear about the itch of always wanting another tattoo, it was almost like having sex so good that you just have to go another few rounds. A smile appeared on his face at the fact he compared sex to getting a tattoo. "Okay okay, I get it...me and my balls will show up."

"Nope. It'll be a curse inked into our skin - inevitable fall-out."

Granted, the fall out between him and Ziggy was self-inflicted, Aeris does know he can't promise to himself to not repeat said actions. Even if not the same exact thing, acting with self control and forethought has never been Aeris's strong suit. "Yeah, yeah," Aeris waves a hand in Mason's face.

"I'll believe it when I see it. But if you ever find your balls, my warning to you is you'll hate it or you'll love it and forever have a tattoo itch."

Trans Resources and Products

Hey everyone mod Hunter here with a new master-list. This list will contain products and resources related to being trans and alleviating dysphoria.

 The links will be separated by 4 categories: Binders/Undergarments, Packers/Breast Forms,  Shirts and other merch, and Resources. (I decided to add trans youtubers as like a sub-subcategory under Resources)

Side note: Not all of these items are cost effective. Also none of our current mods are AMAB so some of the information may not be accurate when it is referring to MTFs, we have tried to make the information as accurate as possible. 

Some links send to specific articles but if they are not what you are looking for in specific try searching through the websites that the articles are on. 

The links will start under the page break so that those that are not looking for this information can skip this post.

I would suggest using caution when watching some of these people. I’m not very familiar with a lot of these youtubers but I’ve tried to compile at least some of them, there are of course more trans youtubers that can probably be found easily with just a quick search in the Youtube search bar.

We come in all shapes and sizes and hopefully any of the above links can help you or someone you know.

COVID-19: Examen tipus test

Avui el consell d’administració de Viuda e Hijos del Gos de Crist SL ha decidit que recrearem una mica preguntes tipus test d’examen d’història d’aquí 20 anys sobre el període coronavirus. Com que esperem que d’aquí 20 anys C’s hagi ja pres possessió del Govern de la Generalitat i hagi erradicat l’ús del català, ho farem en castellà. Som-hi!

Se encuentra usted en la fase 0 de confinamiento, lleva unos pelos que ni Aramís Fuster recién levantada un domingo de Ramos (de ramos de las flores, no del Sergio Ramos, eh) post-noche de les que marquen època y desea arreglarse el pelo. Puede usted acudir a su centro de belleza de confianza (que de día muy bien pero de 21:00h a 5:00h es usado como local de citas con servicios de trans, BDSM y otras modalidades del amor y que el fin de semana abre a las 6:00h y se convierte en medio after medio fleca) en horario de 11:00h a 13:00h siempre y cuando tenga usted el carnet del Super3 en regla, los servicios sociales no le hayan quitado la custodia de su hijo y no se haya comprado un Mazda Coupé de quillo blau elèctric en los últimos 10 años?

a) Sí, puedo ir a la pelu.

b) No, no puedo ir a la pelu.

Se encuentra usted (hombre) en la fase 0 de confinamiento total, hizo hace días un match en Tinder con (se cita textualmente) ‘Lady Cachetitos’ que parece una mujer pero usted sabe que quizá no es del todo mujer pero sigue hablando con “ella” y avivando la llama del amor por aquello de la curiosidad. De tanto chat y tanto emoticono del gatito tirando un beso, por lo que sea y sin ser usted nada de eso, siente el deseo de entregar-se en cos, ànima i esperit a la susodicha Lady Cachetitos. Puede usted ir a su piso (ubicado en Montcada i Reixach) con su Twingo del 2004 con la pegatina del Pont Aeri en la luna trasera del coche, equipado con mascarilla, guantes, gel desinfectante, un látigo de cuero, un antifaz (fantasía, nena!) y una mochila llena de sueños?

a) Sí, viva el amor.

b) No, el amor debe esperar

Se encuentra usted en la fase 2 de confinamiento leyendo el Expansión porque a pesar de no saber hacer una suma de 2 cifras sin cagarse encima, necesita leer prensa económica que la generalista se le queda corta. Puede usted acudir al bar con su camisa del 7 Camicie de doble cuello (tenga en cuenta que ya está harto de ponerse la camiseta de la Décima que le regalaron con el Marca) a criticar la gestión bolivariana del Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez con argumentos adquiridos en La Sexta Noche, el Gato al Agua y Herrera en la Cope?

a) Sí, puedo ir al bar a sentar cátedra e ilustrar al resto de parroquianos

b) No, debo esperar a la fase 3 para mostrar mis grandilocuentes argumentos mientras pico en la barra con una moneda de 2€ pa’que la camarera me haga caso y me ponga la sexta Voll-Damm.

WIP Tag Meme

List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on: writing, art, gifsets, whatever.

Tagged by @elsajeni (thank you)!  She split hers into “active” and “abandoned,” which I’m... only sort of going to do, because everything aside from The Fic (y’all know the one by now) gets ruthlessly forced to the eternal backburner to languish the second it starts looking like it’d be enough work that it’d interfere with The Fic.  Work/family life/social life/my goddamn brainweasels all interfere hard enough with the fic as it is.

Active WIPs, or: The Fic, The Magnum Opus, The Giant Sprawling Hobbit Fix-It (that @rakshasi-sue says I am not allowed to call a fix-it despite its happy ending due to all the horrible whumpy nonsense I gleefully pile onto the characters in the meantime)

Chapter Seven is happening!  I have no idea yet what chapter seven will actually be about!  Dunlendings with salt mines!  Stonefoots with massive self-contained chemosynthesis-based cave ecoystems!  My ill-advised tendency to let the fact that I personally think dicks are hilarious influence my actual writing!  (I definitely called my local library and asked the poor librarian how the fuck I was supposed to research methods of salt mining in medieval Europe though!  “Is this for school” she asked!  And I had to stutter my way through “nnooo this is for a... uh... a fantasy novel...”!)

chapter 7 is ~5,600 words so far, bringing the fic’s total up to ~263,500 words.  (FINALLY BEATING ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, HAH.)

Not Abandoned, Hopefully Will Not Take Me Much Longer

@setnet asked “POV” for the fic meme so I’m planning to scribble out the dwarven perspective on the Daeron thing (though @setnet, please feel free to request a POV of something else specifically if you’d prefer)

Probably Abandoned, At Least Until The Hobbit Fic Is Done (In Approximately 50 Years At This Rate, Ugh)

a.) Yoda dies fighting Sidious, Obi-Wan takes Luke & Leia and runs away with Dexter Jettster post-Order 66 to raise them as Jedi as best he can on a merchant freighter (meanwhile, Katooni joins the Ohnaka Gang)  (meanwhile, an injured-but-definitely-alive Mace Windu finds his tiny grandpadawan Caleb Dume and they start searching the galaxy for other surviving Jedi while helping the fledgeling Rebellion)

b.) an even-by-my-standards-stunningly self-indulgent fic where Ned Stark receives a whole slew of prophetic dreams (and a dæmon direwolf) the night Aerys murders his father and brother, successfully convinces Jon and Robert that the rebellion should not be about seating someone new on the Iron Throne but rather breaking the kingdoms back into seven, and then rescues Elia and her children ostensibly as bargaining chips to get Lyanna back from her captors (but also because Ned is Ned and Ned thinks killing children is bad to do because hes not a horrible monster)

c.) ah yes, the Damerons

d.) Obi-Wan Leaves The Jedi Over A Misunderstanding; Jedi Apprentice!verse,  could also be titled Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Talk Past Each Other: The Fic (don’t worry Qui-Gon manages to straighten things out and bring him back but only after a contrivedly long series of adventures that feature truly ridiculous amounts of Missed Him by That Much)

e.) Obi-Wan/Satine year-on-Mandalore (can I even call myself an Obitine shipper if I don’t have at least one of these I mean honestly)

f.) Obi-Wan/Commander Cody, Fake/Pretend Relationship For Purposes of Undercover Work (doylistically it’s also for the excuse to have Obi-Wan wear pretty skirts & show lots of skin)

g.) When Sidious commands Dooku to kill Ventress to prove his loyalty, Dooku agrees to his face then immediately comms Ventress, orders her home RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY, reveals the whole plot to the Senate, helps the Jedi overthrow Sidious & de-chip the clones, then looks really smug when the Republic agrees to recognise the Confederacy as an independent body and there’s peace in the galaxy and the Jedi aren’t allowed to hunt him down as a Sith because he’s out of their judisdiction now, and in fact they have to stand there next to Republic dignitaries at diplomatic functions between the two political entities and furiously grind their teeth at his existence (meanwhile he hasn’t noticed how much lighter his and Ventress’ auras are slowly getting oops)  (meanwhile Ventress and Obi-Wan keep meeting at these same diplomatic functions and dancing incredible Force-assisted tangoes together (meanwhile in a 20 mile radius of this event bodices ripping men turning bisexual it was amazing the end))

h.) listen unfortunately I’m probably going to write a “while living in the Blue Mnts the Ereboreans encounter a dark-haired Noldo with a very sad, very beautiful voice who’s just wandering up and down the shoreline spilling haunting laments all over the landscape & they eventually get fed up & just kidnap him underground and use sacred hospitality as an excuse to be very stern about one’s need to eat” because please someone take care of my poor precious kinslaying baby

i.) I’m not realistically planning to write this one but.  Stratford Festival did a production of The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and it was very good and the ending was a good ending, it was perfect and cathartic and I am so glad of it but Have You Considered A Version Where The Bad Guys Win, Sincerely, SilentStep

(it’s so easy, listen, when Alcemero locks Joanna in the room and confronts De Flores with his knowledge of the murders right outside, within earshot, De Flores hears enough and then, breathing heavily, shouts Joanna!  Permission!  and there’s a two-and-a-half-second extremely charged silence before she cries Granted! in a voice that nearly breaks-- and De Flores leaps forward and kills Alcemero.  And then the others come in but the two of them don’t even need to discuss their story to get it straight: O, Lord de Piracquo, here is the body of the man who murdered your brother, we are so sorry you could not kill him yourself but when Joanna found Lord Alonzo’s ring in her husband’s medicine-chest and confronted him he threatened her but she had already told De Flores as insurance so he locked her up and tried to kill De Flores intending to kill her afterward but De Flores killed him in self-defense-- oh, right, sure, he had an alibi for the time of the murder, but that was because he’d paid Antonio to actually do the deed & then disappear.

The innocent Tony is put to death.  Jasperino flees in the night.  Tomazo departs with some closure.  And for his services, Joanna manages to suggest in such a way that her father thinks it was his own idea, De Flores gets her hand in marriage.

She turns up pregnant quick enough that rumors start that her son is actually Alcemero’s-- he does resemble De Flores, but it’s hard for people who won’t look past his father’s birthmark to tell.  eventually the kid goes to his mother and asks her, shaky-voiced, if she’s sure he’s his father’s son, what if he’s not, what if he’s really the son of a murderer--

and Joanna goes to her knees and takes his shoulders in her hands and looks him steadily in the eyes and says, low-voiced and sure, An thou wert the son of two murderers, it could not make thee other than thou art, nor would we love thee less.)

I mean uh..................... I have morals

unfortunately I’m... actually unsure who of you guys are writing stuff!  @ravensrising, @setnet, @edgewitch, @rubyredboots, @sandovers, @notbecauseofvictories, come on anyone who writes stuff pls do this meme & pretend I tagged you I want to know what you’re working on

[dilcne]

closed: @aeris-flores location: the carnival

The carnival was something Lorna looked forward to every year. It was another bit of history that gave her a reason to reside in this town. The bright lights, the coming together of the community, the blissful feeling that was able to triumph over the memory of burned down buildings and deceased mayors. She certainly hadn't forgotten the reason behind the importance of this event running smoothly — and she was certain it would.

However, the same couldn't have been said her own night, as she had trailed in a direction that had somehow landed her in front of her upstairs neighbor.

"Aer. I would be lying if I said that your presence here doesn't shock me. You don't look the sort to attend something so... colorful, " she told him, however her words were not harsh, and more of a casual observation. There was a frustration and a happiness that she felt seeing him here, but she wouldn't allow the latter to be outwardly known.

"I've just seen a bunch of dumb blondes go into that fun house. Got confused and thought it was your house for a minute — I mean, you seem to attract the same crowd," she said rather bitterly. "All we're missing now is for one of them to leave unsatisfied and it'd be a perfect replica."

[jazlobos]

Jazmin tried to hold on her laughter but failed as it came out as a snort. She shifted in her seat as she thought about the last few instances the two had spoken- if she could call how they spoke to each other at times that. She thought she had left Aeris in LA, but it seemed the ghost of Christmas past wanted to play with her this month.

"Not even if it's you."

She never knew what game Aeris was playing when it came to the two. That didn't mean she couldn't get testy to gauge what their status was. This could be a moment where it was just the two of them or it could be that he was warming her up just to look her dead in the eye as if she didn't exist.

"Hmm," She tilted her head slightly as she looked right at him, "How about we play a guessing game?" She suggested as a small smile formed on her face.

"Let's see..." She trailed off as she leaned on her elbows, "Am I in a mood because a, the last time we talked was god knows when, or b, the last time I saw you, you freaked out on me for literally no reason?" His options were on the table.

"What do you think?" @aeris-flores

Aeris had never known to do best by himself, and it’s the exact reason he takes the empty bar stool beside Jaz. She doesn’t see him, and that makes it easy for him to b-line from the high top he was leaning up against to that open, welcoming spot. An invisible neon sign sat above it saying ‘sit here’ so Aeris does. 

He hasn’t had much luck recently in terms of normal, amicable interactions, so he might as well keep the streak going. If mercury is going to be in retrograde, he’ll face it head on.

( Astrology isn’t his strong suit, he’s just heard about it enough times in the shop from the typical astrology person coming in to add to their patchwork collection. )

“Wow, not even if it’s me?” he counters.

Aeris can’t be sure how she’ll answer that.

“What’s got you in such a mood?”

@jazlobos

[masoncambridge]

"Aw...don't want to share a matching with me? I'm a little hurt." Mason jokingly said as he flashed Aeris puppy eyes before breaking character and laughing. "How about this, I'll wait until your next flash sale and if I like one of the items, I'll personally ask for you to tattoo me and not one of the others. Sounds like a fair deal to me."

“Sure did.” It’s not as bad as it seems. At least his tattoo was friendship memorabilia and not an ex’s name etched over his chest or something. That would be worse. So much worse. To anyone who doesn’t know — and there’s not many that do — he just has a random little alien on his arm. It fits right in there with all the other patchwork.

Aeris waves a hand. “Nah, I’m not going to twist your arm into it. You’ll get a tattoo when you want. No matching, that’s the only rule, but there will be other flash days.”

@masoncambridge

[masoncambridge]

"Someone sounds like they learned their lesson on matching tattoos." He commented with a smug grin, shaking his head. "But you're right about that, I wouldn't want a constant reminder of what a dummy you are when I live with you in my life always reminding me of it." He jokingly said while laughing.

He let out a sigh, his shoulders dropping in defeat at the fact he might as well allow Aeris to tattoo him for the hell of it. At least he could say he got a tattoo instead of wishing for one. He just had a hard time figuring out what he wanted on his body forever.

"There is something really fun about putting your art on people. I can't explain it." In a way, it sounds more sadistic than Aeris really intends. The needle-stabbing part is less what it's about, but the compliment in someone wanting to wear his art? It definitely feels like something else.

His face screws into an expression of disdain, and Aeris quickly cuts in, "Matching tattoos with anyone is a bad idea. Take my word for it." The alien on his arm is a burning reminder of that lesson.

@masoncambridge

[masoncambridge]

"I think you're just wanting to brand me," Mason pointed out laughing. Leave it to Aeris to try and convince him to come in and get a tattoo done. Normally he wouldn't care what sort of tattoo as long as it's something he would appreciate but something like hot girl summer wasn't exactly it for him. "How about we choose something else because hot girl summer...really? Unless you get a matching one then we can have friendship tattoos...aw Aeris, we could be BFFS." He said jokingly.

“Hey, you can’t be upset with me for being right. There are three types of people when it comes to wanting tattoos: those covered who are chill about it, those who have minor patchwork sleeves but nothing massive but make it their personality, and those who want tattoos, say they want them, but never get them.” 

The first two aren’t a bother, really. Those who are proud of them can appreciate the artwork all they want, and those who don’t put meaning behind them? Well, Aeris is one of them. The only ink he has that has a meaning is the matching alien on his arm. It doesn’t hold that much importance now.

“I one-hundred percent know what you’re talking about, and you should get it done. Tomorrow. When the shop opens, I’ll save you a slot of time even though we’re not supposed to.” Early enough in the day the bash won’t be in full swing either. “If you get that, I’ll tattoo the hot girl summer one on myself.”

@masoncambridge

[masoncambridge]

"I feel like if I answer this it will be a trap and I'll be obligated to get a tattoo just because you won't let me live it down." Mason said as he stared at his friend. Thinking it over, it has been awhile since he last got tattooed, it wouldn't be bad and he wasn't the type to have a meaning for a tattoo but he also didn't want some cliche one or one that is dumb. "Listen, I don't want some dinky tattoo that says hot girl summer. Maybe something like...what...those classical tattoo designs with a butt shaped as a heart? You know what I'm talking about?"

Aeris rolls his eyes at Mason’s excuse. “Lame.” It’s a valid excuse, but he won’t be accepting it. “There’s still tomorrow. I’ll even do it.” Being it is after hours, a call in for a Sunday appointment might be last second for the two of his three that decided to be available for flash sales. He can take this one.

“Are are you the sort to say you want one, you’ve always wanted to get a flash tattoo, etcetera, and then you just never go because you just couldn’t settle on a design?”

@masoncambridge

[masoncambridge]

"You see...I don't feel very hot girl summer, so I wouldn't be living up to the whole vibe of it. Besides, I was busy with the shop. One of the employees called out sick so I had to help cover and well...let's just say it was busy." Mason said with a simple shrug his shoulders as he toyed with his phone in hand. "But I was really wanting something...I'm not sure of what."

@aeris-flores

CLOSED STARTER for @masoncambridge at the summer bash

The flash sale has been bringing an influx of customers in, ranging from the straggling tourists to the locals that can finally take a deep breath of relief. The summer is over, and Aurora Bay is due to fall into a lull. Which is exactly why Aeris took advantage of a sale opportunity for this event. He leans toward Mason, his brows raised.

"Why haven't you come down to Crescent Moon for a tat? Could totally see you rocking the 'hot girl summer' one we have on our flash sheets."
