#faad: better in no time

[babyjakes]

as i only have one more chapter of faad to post from back when i was writing it, here’s a question for faad fans:

thoughts on a ✨faad: rewritten✨ series?

it would be posted as a completely separate series from the faad that’s up now. i would do much heavier editing, completely switching the story to 3rd person/past tense, while also rewriting it to better match my current writing style. my plan is to really dig in and get my hands dirty with this editing, the series really needs it to be up to par with the rest of my current work!

i think it would be fun to go back and completely revamp the whole series! i am always down to pour more love and time into this project 🤍 especially because faad has been my baby for so many years now, and i know lots of you found me through that story or are heavily invested in it. once i made it through the already written chapters, i’m hoping it would be much easier for me to then continue writing new parts for the series, since everything would match my current writing style and standards.

since this would be a big commitment of my time and energy, i only wanna do this if there’s interest in it from you guys! so please let me know if you’d read a shiny new edition of faad— send me an ask, reblog this, etc.!

i’d maybe be willing to have some sort of schedule, such as posting one new/edited part a week? we could also have a tag list if people wanted 🤍

for the dragonborn ask meme: 1, 8, 13, 18, 23!

Ooo thank you so much! (I was the anon sending you a bunch btw I think, didn't want to expose my main blog haha)

Gonna answer these with my two oldest dragonborn OCs I think, to keep it shorter. I've since made a few more but these are the ones I've written fics about, so they're the most developed ones. :3

1. Vanya Whale-Bane

A fisherman's daughter with a knack for magic who lost her parents to the Thalmor (Thalos worship and whatnot), joined the Stormcloaks in her grief only to have a change of heart after understanding the extent of the racism in the faction. Betrays the Rebellion to join the Imperials, stumbles into Helgen by accident, cue main plot, cue stumbling across Borgakh in her travels and TRUE LOVE. <3 Ravarruh'ra, "Rava"

The daughter of traveling Khajiit merchants who got to hunting on the side upon realizing the value of game and good furs in Skyrim! The hunting wasn't enough to provide for her anymore after the start of the civil war, so she joined the Thieves' Guild for extra cash on the side - cue the whole Thieves' Guild questline and a trip to Markarth where she has a fling with Cosnach and gets messed up in the Forsworn rebellion (on their side) and runs from the city along with her new hubby. They try to settle down in Falkreath but y'know, Helgen happens. Rest is history.

8. Vanya

She's very attuned to fire in general, so I feel like she'd probably invent something like... draws from the power of fire to bring warmth? Especially with how cold Skyrim is, she'd find that extremely helpful. Faad Med Yol (warmth akin to fire), possibly.

Rava

Oh she gets really into Dovahzul and at some point just wants to flex at Alduin by inventing her own shout, dunno how effective it would be but something of an insult that maybe causes a foul smell. Pook Se Praan (stink of death).

13. Vanya

She's very into investigating Nordic ruins, tho feels a bit bad for disturbing the dead there, what with them being her ancestors and all. But she's interested in the old gods, like Kyne and such, having learned about them from his father.

Rava

Not really, she prefers fresh air. Dungeons stink. 18. Vanya

Pale, near white scales, small in size. The scars on her side remain as a cluster of missing scales and the lighting scars on her neck become a glowy glowy pattern on her dragon form. Her horns are smaller than most dragons. No real special abilities per say.

Rava

More cat-like in shape and movement, wings aren't quite as big and better for gliding than flight, tho she can still fly shorter distances. Her fur patterns remain in her dragon form and her bites and thorns excrete toxins. She is not kind, she is not fully... there. More a feral force of nature than who she really is.

23. Vanya

She has 2 enchanted blades she carries with her at all times, one of them an elven dagger stolen from Ancano (still working to get to that part in the fic haha) with a paralysis enchantment. The other one's a fire enchanted sword given to him by Ulfric as a sign of respect during her time in the Stormcloaks. There's also a special piece of jewelry she'll hold in her person at all times when the time comes, enchanted with a very special soul gem, but... that's a story for another day.

Rava

She's not very magic tuned at all and outside of her nocturnal armor there's not really much she uses in terms of magical items, really. I'd imagine maybe she has some special fabric laced with ice enchantments to wrap whatever meat she wants to bring to city in.

Searching for the best skin specialist in Pune? Here Is A One-stop Solution For You

The two most common issues that adults and teenagers face are acne and hair loss, and the treatment is only available at the best skin specialist in Pune. The changing lifestyle is the root cause of almost every problem, but no one can do anything regarding this challenge because people have different opinions on this discussion. The better option is to find the best skin clinic in pune and get instant treatment to treat the issues related to hair, skin, and nails. But before this, let’s understand who a dermatologist is and what traits a board-certified dermatologist should have. 

What exactly are skin specialists, and how do you know the board-certified dermatologists? 

Skin specialists basically deal with hair-, skin-, and nail-related issues. As per the doctors, the health of an individual is a kind of reflection that doctors can diagnose by checking the nails, skin, and hair. A lack of riboflavin, biotin, folate, and vitamin B12 can cause too much damage to the hair, and a lack of iron and diabetes can cause problems with the nails. So it is necessary to stay in touch with the best skin specialists to avoid such issues. 

Dermatologists diagnose the problem and then recommend the best treatment to get rid of it. They go through various types of training, and board-certified dermatologists must pass each one before they can treat patients. Things that board-certified dermatologists need to do - 

•Bachelor’s degree in the field - 4-year duration 

•A medical doctor from medical school - 4 year 

•Internship in medicine - 1 year 

•Working with the seniors and spending at least 1200 to 1600 hours with patients - 3 years residency program 

After qualifying for the board-certified training, they will get the official letter from the FAAD, or Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. This letter will help an individual open their own hospital or clinic as a board-certified dermatologist. In this way, you can judge whether the treatment you are getting from a doctor is genuine or not.  

What are the things a dermatologist must possess? 

•Communication matters -

Every patient has a fear in their throat while visiting the doctor, but it is important to not make their first experience worse. A patient wants to see the best communicator in every doctor—someone who can diagnose the problem and carefully describe the treatment instructions. Allow the patient to remain calm and relaxed, regardless of how serious the problem is. Involve them in the conversation to pique their interest in returning. 

•Listen to them with all senses -  

The best trait in any doctor is the ability to listen to the patient's problem, and the more carefully you listen, the better you can understand the level of seriousness. Make such an environment around them so that they can share everything, like sitting on their favorite couch. 

•Notice the problem before it happens - 

One thing you will rarely find in doctors is the ability to detect a major problem simply by diagnosing a minor one. But this is only after a lot of training and sitting at the same table as an older, more experienced doctor when they were young. You should not lose such a kind of dermatologist because they will treat you in such a manner that you don’t need to visit all the time. Also, it is easy to treat cancer in the first stage but not in the second and third stages. So it is important to keep searching for an experienced one. 

•Use math and science - 

Dermatologists must hone the skills of math and science, and an individual with this kind of excellent mindset can present better things in front of patients. Math and science subjects can broaden the mind and help you make better decisions faster. Also, their work strategy is way different from others', and they don’t wait for things; they finish with real-life examples. 

Wrapping Up - 

Only jewelers can judge the quality of gold, not ordinary shopkeepers; similarly, only the best skin laser treatment in Pune. So, if you have cosmetic issues such as acne, moles, or other similar issues, GLOW SKIN LASER HAIR CLINIC is the place to go. Get the best skin-care specialists to treat you.

The Best Way To Shave Your Bikini Line Without Getting Ingrowns Everywhere.. Do not avoid shaving cream, whatever you do.

You may be in the camp of letting your hair go au naturel during quarantine, or you might be spending even more time on your beauty and skincare routine right now. But if you're playing it safe and skipping bikini wax appointments at the moment, shaving is likely your go-to for smooth skin.

The only problem is that bumps, ingrown hair, and angry red skin seem like they're just part of the package when it comes to shaving ~down there~. Shaving your bikini area is a lot of work, and can definitely irritate your skin if not done safely, so there are some things you should know before the razor is in your hand.

Wait, is it bad to shave your bikini line?

First of all, removing hair anywhere on your body is completely your decision—don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, or feel pressured into shaving, waxing, or using any other hair removal method. If you do choose to shave your bikini line, you may be up against both ingrown hairs and red, itchy bumps.

"Ingrown hairs are formed when the sharp, freshly shaved hairs, puncture and grow into the surrounding skin," explains Ife J. Rodney, MD, FAAD, founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics. Then, the skin has a reaction to those hairs and can get red and itchy as a result. You might also experience razor burn after shaving, which is basically when the razor removes the top layer of soft skin, allowing bacteria in to form red bumps on the inflamed skin, says Dr. Rodney.

However, many people (45 percent in this 2016 survey report grooming down below for a vacation, and 55 percent say they've groomed before sex) who remove pubic hair use a razor, which is totally fine for your skin, as long as you are careful. "To prevent rashes and irritation, you should only shave with a clean, sharp razor," Dr. Rodney says. On top of that, if you moisturize and care for the skin before and after you shave, you can avoid annoying razor burn.

Read on for more expert-approved shaving tips before you jump in the shower.

1. Invest in a good bikini razor.

Picking the right razor is the first step to ensuring your bikini line is smooth and bump-free. "If there are more blades, it dispenses more pressure, allowing each blade to cut with less force but more effect," says Dendy Engelman, MD, of Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery in New York City. In other words, you'll get a better, closer shave without risking a cut or irritation.

"Choosing a firm, sturdy razor with soothing strips will make a huge difference," adds Eileen Bischoff, esthetician and hair-removal specialist at Eve Salon in New York City. While throwaways are great for use while traveling and can get the job done, they’re labeled "disposable" for a reason. "They’re not meant to be used for a month," she says.

Or, there's the option of single-blade stainless steel safety razors, which have become popular especially to reduce plastic waste. Believe it or not, they're just as safe as a regular plastic razor for your skin, even your bikini line, says Dr. Rodney. "With only one pass, you remove the hairs completely. There’s less trauma to the skin surface, and the hairs are cut bluntly, decreasing the risk of ingrown hairs," she says.

2. Prep to prevent ingrown hair on your bikini line.

Before shaving your bikini area, spend about 10 minutes in warm water first. This will help soften the outer layer of your skin, making it easier to remove hair (and lessen your chances of getting razor burn), says Fumi Ozaki, an esthetician and electrologist in Redondo Beach, California. "After the 10 minutes is up, pat the skin dry to remove any excess water," she says.

Once your bikini line has been cleaned and dried, Engelman suggests lightly exfoliating with a wet washcloth or a scrub to remove dead skin cells, allowing the blade to get closer to the skin. "It teases out any stubborn ingrown hairs prior to shaving," she says.

3. Don't skip shaving cream.

You might think this shaving accessory is just a feel- and smell-good component to the process, but it’s way more than that. "When you shave, you’re shaving your skin, too," says Bischoff. "If you don’t use enough shaving cream to create enough slip, you’ll lightly abrade your skin, leaving it irritated." Ouch.

And similarly to that quality bikini shaver you're supposed to buy, don't just reach for a random, cheap shaving cream. "Use a good-quality shaving gel with a short list of moisturizing ingredients, like shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil—these types of bases will give a proper buffer for your razor," says Engelman.

Apply a very thin layer only to the area that needs to be shaved so you can see the skin and hair shaft underneath. "This is much safer, so there’s no need to move the blade back and forth on the skin," says Ozaki.

4. Pay attention to your shaving direction.

People have a lot of opinions about whether you should shave up or down on your bikini line, and the direction you shave does matter. "How you shave can be really, really important, especially for people who are prone to bumps," says Bischoff. Going in a ton of different directions with your razor makes cuts and subsequent ingrown hairs more likely. Shave in one direction—with the hair growth. Going against the grain of your hair makes irritation much more likely.

While gliding your razor gently along the bikini line, keep the blade downward without adding too much pressure. "One pass should be fine, especially if you’re using a razor that has many blades," says Ozaki. "The more blades used, the fewer times you should feel the need to re-shave over this sensitive area."

5. Calm your skin after shaving the bikini area.

Wash off as soon as you put your razor down, and hold a cold compress to the area for 10 minutes to prevent irritation, says Ozaki. Apply an anti-redness serum (preferably fragrance-free) to further reduce your chances of experiencing razor burn. "I recommend tea tree oil, both a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, which can help calm razor burn," says Engelman. "If you’ve really caused some irritation, more intense creams, like topical steroids, can be prescribed to reduce redness, swelling, and pain."

6. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

It’s important to always hydrate and moisturize after shaving. "Apply an unscented, alcohol-free moisturizer to both sides of the bikini line to lock in the moisture and avoid over-drying, which leads to further irritation," says Engelman. Bischoff suggests looking for products containing soothing aloe vera, as well as jojoba oil and vitamin E for hydration.

7. Clean your bikini razor.

After every shave, make sure to sanitize your blades with rubbing alcohol and warm or hot water. If your razor looks rusty and you’ve been using it for a while, toss it out. "Replace old blades—ones you’ve used for more than five to seven shaves," says Engelman.

You can also cut your losses (and avoid those red bumps) by storing blades in a clean, dry place so they don't pick up bacteria sitting around in the shower.

8. If shaving bothers your skin, there are other options.

Shaving might not be the right move for everyone's skin. If you still prefer to be smooth, waxing, either by a professional or with an at-home wax kit, is a safe and gentle choice for your skin, because it removes the hair from the root and doesn't allow bacteria to enter as easily, says Dr. Rodney. "When the hair grows back, the tips are soft, not sharp, and so it's less likely to cause ingrown hairs," she says. Plus, it often takes longer for the hair to grow back than shaving does. For an even longer-term option for sensitive skin, laser hair removal might be for you to avoid the need to shave altogether.

replied to your post

“star-anise: If you’re arguing that consensual BDSM is exactly the...”

@idlnmclean​ Sources pls; this has probably been written about, so I'd like to see it

I am exhausted on this topic, and for clarification, I am not arguing "consensual BDSM is exactly the same as abuse"; I am specifically addressing the unspoken implications of arguing the negative, and I am acting on the side of extreme caution because the BDSM communities are dangerous for naive and uninformed well meaning people to blunder into; you might happen to have one of the better communities in your area and get connected with some great people, but the average experience is more negative and more dangerous in the US than blundering into random bars, cafes, or clubs. Online communities in some ways are arguably more dangerous because of the way the Internet allows coordination at an international scale between predatory forces and concentration of what might otherwise be dispersed in physically local communities.

From my perspective, all of what I claim is well documented from around 2011 to 2014 at least on my tumblr. You can find many if not most posts which link to other more extensively sourced posts by searching “sites:idlnmclean.tumblr.com BDSM” or ““sites:idlnmclean.tumblr.com Fetlife” in Google.

The data gathered in FAADE is probably the most directly informative data available on the topic.

After several hours of digging through the archives, I was able to find the specific survey that I am quoting implicitly. It is from the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, and the Principle Investigator is Susan Wright--who ended up being the Community Manager at Fetlife--it is their survey that I am specifically citing and is available along with other resources at their website.

“60% of the people who reported having their pre-negotiated limits violated were violated two or more times(see Figure 9). In addition, nearly half (608/1,309 respondents) who reported their consent was violated within a BDSM scene or relationship reported they had been sexually assaulted as an adult outside a BDSM context. By comparison, only 26% of those whose consent wasn’t violated have been sexually assaulted as an adult outside a BDSM context.“

“If you remove the respondents who stated the consent violation was not serious enough to report (496 people), 501 people chose not to report for other reasons. Only 29 people reported the violation to the police, despite the fact that 96 people experienced an injury that required some medical attention. This is much worse than traditional reporting rates: according to the Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey: 2008-2012, sexual assault is one of the most under-reported crimes, with 68%of sexual assaults not reported. The under-reporting found in this survey may be due in part to the fact that the majority of kinky people are not out due to discrimination.”

Maymay breaks it down in a simplified model here. There are subsequent reports that contradict to some degree the conclusions, but they do so by abuse of the statistics, their domain of application (like comparing studies of Australian BDSM practitioners to those of US practitioners as if they are generalizable or interchangeable), or by accepting strict notions of what constitutes abuse that happen to exclude marginal abuses or vague abuses or unreported abuses (like only recording an incident of abuse as such if it was charged and prosecuted in a court of law under a legally defined notion of criminal abuse).

From the Vice article linked above for example:

According to a large survey of BDSM practitioners conducted by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) in 2012, at least 85 percent of respondents endorsed statements like "a person can revoke consent at any time," "consent should be an ongoing discussion in a relationship," and "clear, overt consent must be given before a scene." Over 93 percent of respondents endorsed the statement "consent is not valid when coerced."

85% of the respondents endorsing a statement like "a person can revoke consent at any time," "consent should be an ongoing discussion in a relationship," and "clear, overt consent must be given before a scene." does not actually tell us anything about the rates of abuse in that community; we actually should expect particularly abusive communities to resoundingly tell us with undue confidence exactly what they expect us to want to hear. That “There is No war in Ba Sing Se“. What this says is that the community believes or at least articulates to surveyors attempting to quantify community sentiment that these are the things which should be publicly reported or that they personally emotionally feel like reporting in a survey.

“Over 93 percent of respondents endorsed the statement "consent is not valid when coerced."“ doesn’t tell us that the respondents do not coerce consent. All it tells us is that respondents tell surveyors that when that is an option among a limited set of multiple choice responses.

The more important data in the survey for understanding what is going on in the communities is the reporting or failure to report violations. On both of those counts, there are serious problems compared to national average that allow inference of plausible intervals or distributions of abuse regardless of community sentiment in survey.

The Vice article also misstates the domain of discourse and the results. The title of the paper they are drawing from is “Participating in a Culture of Consent May Be Associated With Lower Rape-Supportive Beliefs”. A BDSM community can be a Culture of Consent, but it is not necessarily the case that any given BDSM community at random will be a Culture of Consent. It is also important to note the division between “Consent as a Felt Sense” vs “Consent as Permission”; a culture that respects the empirical “Consent as a Felt Sense” may very well be a proper Culture of Consent, but a culture that holds “Consent as Permission” or “Consent as Contract” or similar legalistic models of consent over “Consent as a Felt Sense” are intrinsically violative, coercive, and immensely unjust. The latter is the situation of the US legal system, the high prevalence of domestic abuse among police officer families, human trafficking, and the carceral slave state.

The trick is identifying a Culture of Consent from an impostor.

The abuse found in BDSM communities isn’t exactly unique to them; it is just more concentrated because of the commonality of interests among abusers as well as the four conditions: the presence of a safe haven, organizational structure, leadership, and recruitment techniques.

These four conditions are necessary and jointly sufficient to explain terrorist campaign emergence.

Dr. Amy Taub: Kerafactor is a very sophisticated one of a kind product. It utilizes a combination of synthetic growth factors that were only recently available due to the complexity of manufacturing. Some products contain one or a couple of these elements but none contain all elements needed for hair growth.

3) What are the top hair loss concerns and how can Kerafactor help?

James Bartholomeusz: Generally thinning, lack of volume and strength. And it can help mostly anyone as long as the reason for the thinning and hair loss is under control. For example hormonal loss must be under control and once the loss is slowed, KeraFactor can help rebuild.

Dr. Amy Taub: Hair loss, lack of hair manageability due to thin hairs are the number one complaints. Hair loss is a complex medical condition ;some causes are autoimmune ( such as alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris ) and these would not be helped. The most common causes of hair loss such as stress or pregnancy induced (telegenic effluvium) and aging associated hair loss ( androgenetic alopecia) can be targeted. Also just hair that is kind of lifeless or damaged could be improved with the products.  

4) Has the way you think about hair concerns changed during the pandemic? How so?

James Bartholomeusz: We just see a lot more people presenting with poor scalp and hair health both men and women.

Dr. Amy Taub: Hair loss has become a huge reasons for visits in the dermatology office, although I think it started before the pandemic. People looking at themselves on zoom and stress induced hair loss could explain the increased interest. Also work from home has allowed more people to visit the doctor during the day

5) For someone who’s new to Kerafactor, what’s the one product you’d want them to try?

James Bartholomeusz: The best starting point is the combo kit, since it includes everything you need to get started. Scalp circulation is one of the most if not the most important aspect to improve for scalp and hair health. The combo kit allows you to easily be exposed to all our proprietary GF’s with shampoo& conditioner, daily high concentration solution anf most important the scalp stimulating brush.

Dr. Amy Taub:  I would say for men the shampoo/conditioner and for women the solution.  Many men like easy and women often have favorite shampoos and might be less amenable to switching, although the key is to use it into the scalp for a minute so you could use your own shampoo after it. I use it as the conditioner step as I have found it really works as both and I have been traditionally picky about hair products.

6) For someone already on medical treatment (Minoxidil and/or oral finasteride) how would you recommend adding this into their routine?

James Bartholomeusz: As stated before, the way to get the most from KeraFactor products is to already have a stable scalp condition. KeraFactor does not directly stop hair from falling out, provides a ability to be combined with any hair loss product for maximum results. 

Dr. Amy Taub: Hair loss is difficult to treat- the more the merrier! There is no reason to have to discontinue any other product for hair that one already has.

7) Lastly, what are your top tips for healthy hair?

James Bartholomeusz: Ensure you are eating or taking the correct vitamins to assist with strong and healthy production of keratin. As said before scalp circulation is key, so massage, hot water and scalp stimulating brushing are imperative.

Dr. Amy Taub: Make sure to get enough iron in your diet. So many people have abandoned meat for health concerns, but it is one of the best ways to get iron. Our bodies need iron to make hair every single day. If you are having a problem, see a dermatologist!

16 LED Masks That Reverse Signs of Aging and Help Treat Acne

Courtesy

A futuristic-looking face mask that’s supposed to kill bacteria, prevent breakouts, and reduce the appearance of aging skin? It seems too good to be true, but LED masks are essential to transforming the skin in ways topical products cannot. You’ve probably seen your favorite celebrities don this type of tool before a big night of red carpets, but what do they actually do? And do you actually need one? To get all the ins and outs before splurging, we turned to Dr. Ife J Rodney, for all the information.

What Are LED Face Masks?

“LED masks work by shining different colors and wavelengths of light rays onto the skin. The blue LED rays target the bacteria that live within the hair follicles and contribute to acne pimples and cysts,” Dr. Rodney, MD, FAAD, founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetic. “The red rays suppress redness and inflammation of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, by stimulating collagen production.” Now, you can get masks that come with a wide range of lights, including green, white, and amber for even more specific needs.

Do LED Face Masks Work?

While they’re mainly used as an add-on treatment when you visit your dermatologist or esthetician, the at-home versions can help to keep your skin in tip-top shape—as long as your consistent. Where in-office treatments use more powerful LED bulbs for an extended amount of time (no more than 20 to 30, Dr. Rodney says), “at-home LED masks are not monitored, so there may be a lack of consistency in the treatments.” When used consistently, however, you’ll find that the right tool can give amazing results–without the in-office costs.

Ahead, the 16 best LED masks to try, from Dr. Rodney’s splurge-worthy fave to handheld light therapy devices that target your most stubborn impurities.

hi eun! usually i don't read fics with original characters or in chapters (only for a matter of time, sometimes i dedicate my morning to fics with chapters). since your stories are a huge comfort for my mental health when i'm in dark places i decided to read the fics in chapters you have on your masterlist!

i read forever and a day and i don't have words to express how much i loved it. i read it all in like one day and it got me crying too

so i just wanted to compliment you on your stories and tell you i'm looking forward to ever green evermore!

p.s. when i first started faad i was confused seeing tony stark in the trigger warning but then him wanting to be a father figure to willa (especially knowing your hate for him) then i went on with chapters and understood the reason why 🫥

omg 🥺 this means so much to me thankyou! i’m so glad you enjoyed. tbh going back and reading faad always feels rough for me at this point just bc i’m not at all a fan of the first person pov anymore 😭 so i’m glad to hear some friends at least still find it readable 🤧 lol yeahhhh tony is such a doozy in that one, sometimes i can’t believe all the stuff i made him do 😅 i’m so glad you’re excited for egem! it’s gonna be hopefully just as comforting and helpful, yet also new and exciting (and much better written lol)
