RANKING SBG SHIPS BECAUSE LOKI GAVE US ALL FREE WILL 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

Aidlyn/Ashden: good lord the chemistry. the 'he fell first but she fell harder' trope. the lil gestures by aiden. him annoying tf out of her but also becoming very caring when she's hurt. I'M SO CALM RN GUYS. and the fact that them ending up together is inevitable lmfao XD 9/10

Benlor: FUCKKK IM SERIOUSLY NOT OK THESE TWO ARE JUST SO PURE AND SWEET TO EACH OTHER. ESPECIALLY TAYLOR TOWARDS HIM, cuz he kinda suppresses his feelings and is a sad boi :( dw ben taylor's gonna make you feel happy again fosho lmao 😭 the lil blushing ben always does around taylor! her supporting his ideas even tho they flop! her helping him calm down from barron through music! her always cheering him up whenever he's gloomy! her being the first to thank him for opening up! THEY'RE LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF SHE FELL FIRST BUT HE FELL HARDER! GOD IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM 😭😭😭 10/10

Tylenol/Tylo: i never thought of the prospect of them together, but post tumblr i must say its interesting. not just them being the single ones in the team, but i like the way tyler defended logan against barron, and his general protective aura around logan. but then again tyler was kinda rude to logan in the start. but then again it gives nerd x jock vibes which to me r pretty cool 5/10

Tyden: LMAO the continuous saga of them pissing tf out of each other. it would be fuckin hilarious if they somehow end up together. but apart from the general hilarious bickering, there's not too much to it 5/10

Tayden: goddamn their friendship is so precious!! her painting his nails? her carrying him on his shoulders in dat one artwork?PURE BESTIE VIBES they just match each other's freak lmfao. 8/10

Logden: meh there are not any significant moments between these two. would definitely be cute, but i can't see it happening lol 2/10

Loglor/Taygan: no but why can i actually see this happening lol. the way theyre both so gentle around each other! then the way she was the first to help him when he got slashed by the phantom? and also the way she stood up for him when tyler was being rude? Cute! 6/10

Benlyn: ooh the two quiet people of the gang! they could work out really well bcoz they definitely understand each other's struggles with muteness and phantom hearing respectively. plus that panel of ben braiding ashlyn's hair was so cute lmao :> 7/10

Loglyn: AAA they have sm potential!!! before the events of yk the whole ✨sAvAnNaH✨ mess, i feel like they wouldve been each other's only existing acquaintance they may call friends (ik it's not canon but it's very plausible lol) 6/10

Benlo/Logben: theyd definitely be good together, it's just that my sbg memory is failing to recall any significant moments b/w them ;-; if y'all remember pls do tell 4/10

Tyben: what is with the hernandez siblings always ending up being bens biggest supporters lmao XD it's a cute dynamic honestly 5/10

Taylyn: now this is one freakin adorable ship TvT. the way taylor always had a slight pang of concern for a friendless lonely ashlyn when they were kids? and the way they quite frankly became besties after enduring all the phantom world shit? very sweet lmao 7/10

Tylyn/Ashler: i have been usurped into the tylyn propaganda by @tragedry honestly I DO NOT COMPLAIN. like holy fuck they're so enemies to lovers! them "loathing" each other, fighting for leadership, but then immediately becoming possibly the biggest protectors of each other in times of danger??? extremely wholesome lmao i love them smmm 9/10

SO THE TOP SHIPS ARE:

3. TAYDEN (the crack ship) 😈🔥🥉

So, back in October, my bestie gifted me Pokemon Shield for my birthday. And I've been slowly playing it (I'd been distracted with other games, drawing, and writing, so it's slow going) and I saw Perrserker for the very first time EVER. I've never seen it, not even art. I didn't research the game or the dex, I'm in this blind (so please, no spoilers). And. Normally I go "THE FREAK IS THAT?!", but when I saw this guy, I went "Ma! There's this weird freakin' cat!" like the one clip. My cats looked at me in confusion. But anyway, that happened yesterday and I knew I had to draw it. So I did that for tonight and I'm just so proud and happy. Y'know what? Perrserker has really grown on me. I might need to add the bugger to my party for for this moment.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Remember, commissions are open and available on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

Jimin's crime is him thinking that there's people out there that will be happy to get jungkook's update but here's them crying 😂

That's some 10k+ followers account mind you so the people who thinks "jikookers and taekookers are the same" i dare you to bring me some 2 10k followers jkkrs account who acts like this towards taehyung cause i can easily bring some 10-20 accounts like this with much more following.

And I'm like 1000% sure when they get an update from taehyung about jungkook (be it him meeting jungkook or him posting pictures with Jungkook) they'll be on cloud nine and mark my words you'll see tweets saying "omgg 😭 the first thing they did after getting vacation is meeting e/o. They can't live w/o eachother, sk i hate you, don't separate them", "he couldn't help himself posting his boyfriend as soon as he got time" ����

Only mentally unstable people would get mad at someone for giving updates about their fav and telling them he's doing fine at freakin military. I remember when jm was inactive when they got their Instagram and then later we found out he was covid+ nd a appendix surgery and how hobi used to give little updates here and there and how everyone was so happy nd used to wait if hobi gives any jm update. Even pjms were greatful to hobi but i for a fact know that jungkook solos aka jjks aka many closeted tkkrs would write same essays as above. *Sighh* my boy being too good for this fandom 80% filled with Tkkrs.

They were so happy when taehyung used to give us updates on what where he went with jungkook, and how he plays video games with jungkook, and how he's at jungkook's house, so if all these updates used to make us happy why they suddenly mad when jimin is doing the same? And here thing is literally about military....they be dragging jikook saying how taehyung used to mention jungkook on his promotions so is the military updates where one is saying the other is doing wrong??? Shouldn't they feel relieved that jungkook is doing great? If a hangout update can make us happy shouldn't a freakin doing great in military update should make us feel wayy more happy? Then why the outrage? Hypocrite much?

If he mentions jungkook then he's leech if he doens't then "see? Told y'all he only cares about jk for cameras" dangg. Good thing jm is an inactive Person on sns so he doens't see all this shit.

[enderblogs-25]

Y'all.

There's people in my neighborhood installing fiber optic internet for schools (I think?) and they've been digging up everyone's yards. TODAY, I decided to check out three of the holes in my yard, and the following rocks were the result :3

I always find the two on the top, but in pieces. They crumble so easily! These ones are solid though, which I've never seen. I have no idea what the one on the bottom left is, so I'mma take it to the rock man so he can tell me what the hell it is. The bottom right is INTERESTING. When I was washing off the rocks in the driveway, this dude was BUBBLING. I /think/ that makes it a limestone, but it feels like a type of sandstone?? I'm not entirely sure and my rock book isn't being very helpful.

The second picture is what I believe to be a type of quartz, but I like it because it's a lil puzzle!!!! I found each piece individually, and put them together on a whim haha.

The THIRD picture… Y'all. These. Are FOSSILS. Specifically, they're baculite fossils! The area I live in is full of these dudes, because my area of my world was underwater when they were alive. So they were EVERYWHERE, just like antelope and prarie dogs are all over our area today.

Here's a bonus picture of me in one of the holes 😁 My mom wanted one of the rocks on the wall of the hole, so I got in and started hammering at it LOL. I'm squatting here, it isn't that deep.

Literally, this was the best day. I've wanted to straight up dig holes in my yard for rocks my ENTIRE life. If anyone thought I wasn't gonna take advantage of this situation... I'm so freakin happy lol. It's taking all of my self control not to explore the neighbors' holes and dirt piles.

[lesbiangummybearmafia]

The Gilded Age, 02x07, Wonders never Cease. My thoughts

This episode was a fucking roller-coaster of a ride! One moment I'm crying then next I'm happy for someone, next I'm completely suspicious of one certain rich mrs. pain in ass.

First to everyone that was on to Muade Beaten right off the bat y'all get million brilliant points and I completely apologize for ever doubting any of you. Omg y'all were so right!! I truly didn't believe she was part of the scam. She freakin good! Give her award for that shit. At the same time I'm sad because I wanted her to be on the up and up. I really liked her, especially with Oscar. They made a cute couple. Omg poor Oscar, I just wanted to hug him when he started crying at John's place and I started crying for Oscar. Then when he tells Aunt Agnes how much money he lose, I started crying for all of them. Because I thought he had just used his individual money for the investment not his mother's money also. That's when I was oh no no no Oscar!! This has to be ok somehow, it just has too.

Then if that wasn't hard enough they have Luke pass away. I was just sobbing when Aunt Ada woke up he was gone. It's just awful that they were together for such a short time. Aunt Ada deserves so much more than just a taste of happily married bliss. My heart just brakes for her. At the same time I am glad she got to be loved like that and love someone in that way.

I did love what Aunt Agnes said to Luke when they were alone. It was also wonderful getting to see that side of her, Aunt Agnes truly loves and cares for her family. Even though she has this tough outer exterior, once you get pass that she's quite loving and she a softness about her. I like how she take her role as head of her family, all her family seriously. Aunt Agnes will always be the strength, the backbone, the true North for them. No matter if it takes kicking their ass or loving them like mad but most likely both she will be there doing it. Aunt Agnes over this season especially has become another of my favorite characters.

Ok once again not enough Bertha in the episode! I think we got spoiled last season because the show kinda revolved around Bertha and the Russell's. But this season their expending the other characters story lines more so we're getting less of what I want the most Bertha. Maybe they could made TGA two hours long episodes. I totally watch them!!

But onto what we did get. First fucking Mrs. Astor, suddenly all oh I got you box at the Academy of music. Yea like Bertha wasn't gonna be what this bitch up to. Mrs. Astor overly nice, her voice dripping with enough sugar put Bertha into glucose shock. Mrs. Astor should work on her fake nice act it's really transparent to anyone that can smell bullshit at 1000 feet. Then the stunt she pulled at Aurora's just made her look stupid not Bertha. But I so did love Bertha's crystal clear No, than she's all look bitch I never told you for sure I was doing that. Why are bringing up now, don't look so smug you haven't won anything. I'm not about to be your lackey. Mrs. Astor getting all huffy and leaveing she's just so pathetic omg. Mrs. Astor really thought she got the better hand of Bertha Russell with her stealing the Duke not with standing. But she simply can't Bertha far more intelligent, cunning, calculated and purely ruthless then Mrs. Astor. On flip side of that Bertha is also friendly, sweet, fun, kind and sincere. Where Mrs. Astor full of crap there's nothing sincere about her, she's all fake nice and attitude. I think she far to use to people kissing her ass and getting her way. We all know Bertha isn't going to do that. I'm so ready to see what happens at the opening night at both opera houses!!

I'm so happy for Jake! Mr. Bannister all casual oh I write my friend in German clock makers group for you. I really do like how there like a little family at the Van Rhijn house (with the exception of Armstrong). I really hope Jake gets his pattern, then goes on to be a clock maker if that's what he wants.

I don't have any idea why Marian is trying to convince herself to marry Dashiell. She's not in love with him, what she going to do wait until she's actually married to the man than be like I made mistake here. I wish she could be as brave for herself as she for everyone else. It's like this all she think she deserves is a loveless marriage at least on her side so she'll doom herself to it. Instead of being brave and looking for what deserves a love like Aunt Ada found. Which might be with one Larry Russell.

I adored the scene with Bertha and George. It's always a treat getting to see Bertha with her hair down all related in her night clothes. I really love that show has a in love married couple at core of it. It's not too much or too little, it's just right as Goldie Locks would say. They have reached the ideal balance for a loving marriage couple in a series, now all other series take note please. They are very endearing. When Bertha sat on George's lap such a romantic thing to do. I really do enjoy their scene together. Ever if their just talking. 😍

I was hoping George would end up being a good guy with his workers, treat them as human beings but so far he's still being ruthless ass. It's so hard with him, when he's with Bertha and his children I really like him, but as soon as he's all business I can't stand him. It drives me nuts.

I'm so happy to see Peggy stand her ground. But I do wonder how long that's going to go on for? Her boss doesn't even seem to give a second thought about his wife or family, just going to listen to his dick. Because let's be honest that's what he's doing. I just don't like him there's something about him the rubs me the wrong way, beyond the I'm so easily willing to cheat on my wife. I definitely feel he's done this before. Peggy might want to find out how many other babies he has around! I just get this feeling off him it's more like he wants to own Peggy untilhe gets bored then he moves on to the the next woman. I hope a really good guy comes into Peggy's life that's not married and sweeps her off her feet.

I really like what Larry did with his speech making sure that at least people in that room which did include the President know that Mrs. Roebling did the work on Brooklyn Bridge. I hope she knew that she wasn't forgotten in history. I learned about her college in my women in America history course. Now thanks to The Gilded Age so many more know her incredible story and she's come back to life in a way that makes the history even more exciting.

Oh I almost... I love when Mr. Baudin ask Mrs. Bruce if she going to watch the fireworks. I was omg the roof of the house! Because that house has to tall enough. I was happy I was correct. I thought I was so sweet he took up there so she could see them. I really like them together. I hope they become a couple. Makes me think of Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson in a way.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

"The best revenge..."

...is living and eating WELL while (and in spite of) living in poverty.

I actually had the gumption to try and have a cafe 30 or so years ago, and I live with a guy who had his own bakery: a Danish-trained Chef currently working as a Sous Chef at a big hotel in The City, and his 21 yr old son (who has literally been an assistant sous chef to his dad his whole life).

We're all barely afloat, his son is looking for his first real job-job "out there", and getting discouraged. Y'all hear regularly about my poverty status, and my roomie chef is doin' as much as he can, and we're all three freakin' broke.

Fuck it. We may be broke, but we are are gonna Eat as best we can with what we got. So to the current example.

Yes, I know how to cook Mexican Food like any native ex-south-texan worth his salt and lime. Yes I learned how mama/grandma did it, either mine or someone else's.

Roomie and I are carnivores, son is veg. We all agree that Mexican Food is good, so I'm always looking for how to spend my "old-fuck-on-food-stamps EBT the best way.

Behold, Example 1: 20 lb. bag of dried pinto beans.

20 lbs for $17. And lookee there: it's Fiesta, no stranger to this former Austinite. And anyone who knows knows that this boy knows how to make a pot o'pintos, with/without carnivorousness. Keep 'em on the stove long enough you got Refrieds.

Somebody at Groce-Out is from Texas, gotta be: They have Velveeta and Rotel (for QUESO!) at near-normal prices! I laughed today. Velveeta was 6.99 at Groce-Out, and I shit you not, $14.95 at Lucky.

Got that along with a couple 2-lb bags of their "Hollis Street" whole bean French Roast (Dark) for $11.95 ea. This is surprisingly good coffee beanage, freshly roasted right up the road in Emeryville, evidently. So good coffee for cheap. A similar brand at the 'non discount' grocery store I go to is $21 for a 2lb bag.

While they aren't the winner in the coffee bean competition, Lucky (the non-discount store) is great for meat, especially mid-week, when they have lots of specials. Their "megapaks" of chicken thighs (10/pkg) were buy one get one free. So for ten bucks, I got 20 thighs (over 7lbs), which, when roasted with lots of salt and pepper, and cooled and shredded and deboned become something like 4 pounds of Chicken Enchilada Meat. For ten bucks.

Tomorrow I go to another discount store closeby roomie told me about that has the best commercial Hatch Chile in a jar I have ever found. Tastes like mine, when we would get a case at a time at Central Market, get 'em roasted in the parking lot, and take 'em home and shuck most of the the skins/seeds, and saute onion and garlic and add. In. A. Fucking. Jar.

So you see where this is heading.

We will be having a TexMex Enchilada/taco Feast that can be repeated at will until we've eaten/given enough away. Freezer. Vacuum sealer. Oooooooom.

And yeah, we got the dessert thing covered. I buy flour, the three sugars, butter, real cream, good organic milk, good brown eggs. I bake everything from fucking scratch. I buy berries and grapes as my main fruit. I don't buy a lot of processed ANYTHING. I buy ingredients. And bread/tortillas, obvs. And I'm happy I have the "card" that gives me my eeked-out apportionment of "food funds".

So that old adage of "The Best Revenge" being "living well" means we may be fucking poor, but goddammit, we are gonna Eat, with a capital E if I have anything to say about it.

All three of us are pretty much clinging to the same leaky life-raft, this accursed but oh-so-necessary apartment, not much overlap in our lives/diets/schedules, but every once in awhile I get to go back into "restaurant mode" and do up a Massive Feed. Share with the neighbors and stock the freezer.

And a pot of beans on the stove in perpetuity.

[destinyc1020]

I will never understand why Z went public with JE. But was so secretive with T. Why go public with a rebound but not with love of your life?

Y'all need to let that go.

And I've said more than once on my blog that I don't think it was a conscious decision on her part to "go public". JE was the one who pulled her into a kiss.... probably to let the paps get whatever "shot" they needed so that they could stop being followed everywhere they went in NYC. 🤷🏾‍♀️

That's just my guess anyway.

He might have also been an opportunist cuz I'll never forget how more fans were talking and excited about Z and Timmy being spotted in a BB&B together in NYC than JE and Z being together lol. 😅 JE probably wanted ppl to know..."don't get it twisted, we're not JUST friends" lol 😆

Could there have been some petty in there as well? Maybe. If Tom broke things off with Z, then yea.... it could have been a way to kind of rebel. I've done some petty things in the past after a breakup myself ngl lol 😆 🙃

Those photos just looked waaaay too over-the-top to be "real" and genuine imo. Was she trying to play up how "happy" and "moved on" she was? Maybe? 🤷🏾‍♀️ They obviously knew they were being photographed, and there's NO way that dude is THAT funny lol 🤣 Especially when we've NEVER seen Tom and Z laughing like hyenas while walking out in public lol 😆 , and imo, Tom is hilarious.

To me, stuff that's over-the-top like that looks staged, forced, fake, and PR-ish (jmho 👀).

You don't need to prove smthg to others when it's a REAL relationship that you're actually happy and content in lol.

Also, keep in mind, JE was a rebound. I'm sure Z was having fun with him, but no way do I think she felt the same way about him as she did for Tom. No freakin' way. You tend to PROTECT and hold more sacred the rlshps that you really care about most and deeply. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Maybe he coaxed her, and she was like, fine, what's there to lose? I already broke up with the love of my life anyway.

[greenticklerdreams]

when you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then send it to the last ten people in your notifications (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity. 💝

I got this twice! Y'all are so nice. Let me think about stuff OTHER than horrendously flustering tickle vids for a few minutes, I could use a cooldown.

Coffee. French press, pour over, espresso. Black, or with a little half and half, or a cappuccino or a flat white if I'm going out. Almost always hot - I only get cravings for iced coffee in the summer, and I love it with condensed milk when I get some.

TTRPGs, whether I'm playing or GMing. It lets me put my old acting, directing, and writing skills all to the test at once. It's my favorite thing to do with friends and one of my favorite creative endeavors. I've done D&D, of course, but also HeroSystem, Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Traveller, and currently, Lancer, just to name a few.

The Legend of Zelda. I could just say "viddiya gaems" in general but this series makes me the warmest and fuzziest. Never played a bad one. They're all wonderful.

Writing. Yeah, this is related to the last one, but... this community is making me remember how much I love it. I hadn't written much but RPG scenarios for years. Now I've got freakin' fanfic WIPs again like I'm in middle school again, haha. This was always the one art form I was maybe a little good at, or the one anyone actually said I was any good at, at least.

Fruit. Just about any fruit. Raw, baked, juice, you name it. If I go a day without any (and that's rare), I'm just a little bit sadder for it. You could probably ban white sugar from my life and I'd be fine as long as I still had fruit. (...maybe not chocolate, though. Chocolate's pretty great.)

Hello!

I haven't been on here in so long, it's insane! I am still a school custodian, but I now work at an early college for the same school district and Doug is now a plumber. Things have gotten better and easier for the both of us. We're both in good places when it comes to co-workers and bosses now.

We also have a new furrier addition to our family now. I'm so in love with her, my Goddess! So... Doug and I rescued a domestic black short-hair kitten a little more than 2 weeks ago now from a storm drain. It's quite a story. LOL! 😆 She's 7 weeks old and according to the vet and the other vet peeps, she's pretty healthy overall which Doug and I are really happy to know. She might have hookworms because she has vomited about 3-4 times out of a total of 2 weeks since we've had her, but she hasn't since the last time which was I believe the earlier part of last week so maybe she just ate too fast or too much at once and played too hard which caused her to get sick. We gave her a bath the day after we went to her first check-up and we used some medicine that was prescribed to her to help with fleas. Her next appointment is on July 10th at 7 pm to have a feline distemper done. It is so freakin' awesome that this vet is so close to us for one and for two, they're open late on two days out of a week which works really well for us right now because right now my work shifts are Mon-Thurs: 6:00 am-4:30 pm meanwhile Doug's work shifts are Mon-Fri: 7:00 am-3:30 pm because of it being the summer.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get her to give us a stool sample to check for those kinds of things before we went to the appointment that evening after Doug and I got off of work at 3:30 pm for him and 4:30 pm for me so they gave us a stool sample container so we can get it whenever we can so they can test for hookworms and the like.

Y'all, she is a beautiful, little kitty girl and I don't think I could have picked out a better name for her.

Without further ado, here is Nezuko!

I named her after one of the main characters in "Demon Slayer" which is one of my favorite Japanese animes right now.

so..

didnt want to make a huge deal of it at the time bc anxiety and what have you, buuut since yesterday marked 2 full months from this thingy (perhaps most impactful in my life so far lol), figured i'd do a little post anyway?? felt appropiate what with it being pride month and ya know :zoomies:

(tldr, have two rad little lines going across on my body and feeling more light and normal (in the best kind of way) than i have for years :catlove:)  i'm in an incredibly lucky place living situation wise (s/o being in a position where he could take a loan for us, and finland being a country that doesnt generally indiscriminate these kind of things as much) where i could get a good ol operation that single-handedly yoinked off my serious dysphoria and -related anxiety and its been (and still is) so incredibly freeing and pleasant and carefree vibe when ur body feels and looks the way you felt it should have always been. especially when, (tw: dysphoria) increasingly for the past couple years its felt just so incredibly.. wrong? to an extent you felt constantly sick?, for reasons you cant even quite explain?, for features your biology imposed on you without any word on your part, and the societal norms or whatever that came with it??? and just.. the entire lack of choice or being unable to do anything about it?? absolutely worst. do not recommend. unfortunately a fairly common experience in the lgbt circles (that i keep hearing) and something a lot of people have to deal with, unfortunately. so in a very stark comparison, post-op and recovering and just /living/ without those restrictions or weights on ya, it's pretty freakin rad. having authority on the silly little meat vehicle again haha. (recovery wise feel entirely normal and well by now, just the whole 'having a both physical and very taxing mental weight off of the shoulders that i'd not realised how long its been there' has had me feeling very childlike joy and the like, yknow. maybe some of u could tell from the text brrrr nyoomies for a while now huhu :zoomies:) dunno if this is "too personal" or unnecessary or kinda silly to share, but kind of jus wanna put it out there in case there's the odd person in there who feels the same way, incredibly awful for reasons you cant quite explain or even grasp - i promise you're not inherently broken or "wrong", there is a reason for it, gender or neurodivergency wise or otherwise. it sure took me a while, and while it's an unique road for everyone, u can get there, one way or other. for example im more comfy with my brain funnies than i've been in years just from reading more and getting to know likeminded people and overall understanding things better, and that alone has helped me a lot. dont necessarily feel the need to transition anything further body wise either; dont consider myself a trans person, and dunno what kind of label or tag would even fit my gender other than just?? kind of vaguely nonbinary i guess?? since im just.. omee? default person shaped? and for the longest time, it feels good and normal and /right/. dunno. wanted to share the excellent good vibes despite this whole mess of a world situation lol. #textwall #manywords  happy pride y'all! every single one of you friendshapes is very important and appreciated ❤️

for context! i'm huge fan of people who are happy with their bodies; its the best possible place to be! and such, want to confirm I dont have and never had anything against female chest in general, im genuinely glad some people can carry themselves with pride and joy, it simply wasnt a concept my brain could accept for me; personally they looked and felt really wrong on me, despite being physically healthy and "normal"; nothing were wrong with my pre- chest shapes except them residing on my body.

[seraphic-sapphic-safehaven]

Hey! Hope you and all your loved ones have been doing well this new year, (I know we're already almost to March but still). Also happy belated birthday to your wife (I think?)!

Anyway I've been okay for the most part, job hunting is such a pain though, I'm trying to find ft work for the benefits but I'm not getting any sort of feedback, not even a rejection which is the most frustrating part. I'm also finally learning how to read Hebrew as well!

Thanks for being patient still with me, maybe I'll come off anon on my birthday, it is my golden birth year after all. Also thanks for well, being a safe space as usual for all the "weird" lesbians/sapphics, aka me, a genderqueer/genderehh?? probably mspec-ish lesbian. -🐳

Hey! Thank you sm for saying that, bean! I hope you and everyone you care for are doing great as well! And yes, my wife's birthday was on January 23rd. And mine is coming up fast, April 11th. I can't believe we're already in March 😖

Oof, I feel you on the job hunting part. I recently just lost my job, and finding something that will be a good fit for myself and my disabilities is no bueño. I sincerely hope you find something good soon and actually hear back from the employer! Sending you all my love and good vibes!! You deserve this, and I believe in you 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Learning to read Hebrew, though?? That's freakin' awesome. I'm very jealous! I would love to learn any other language than English lol.

I'm not sure what a "golden birth year" is, but YESSS!! Please come off anon! Or, well, don't if you don't want to! Please don't feel pressured! I just think it would be cool if you did, but either way, I'm just happy to get to talk to you 😊 When is your birthday btw?

And it's no problem 🩷🤍🩷 I love all y'all so much, and I'm happy to give you a place that makes you feel accepted and loved! It's what y'all deserve 🥰

The first cut is the deepest

Greys Anatomy masterlist

Warning: talk of rape

Charlie and Meredith put a paper up in the locker room for a roommate then went and changed into their scrubs. They spent a lot of time looking for a roommate and George and Izzy wanted to move in really bad.

"Why  do you put up posters for roommates if you don't want roommates." Izzy asked

"I do want roommates. We're together 100 hours a week. You want to live together, too?" Meredith asked them.

"I see you bring bribes now, huh?" Cristina said walking to Meredith as she held onto a bag.

"My mom irons my scrubs. I have to get out of there." George said getting all up in Harper and Meredith face.

"It's not a bribe. I don't it's a good idea." Meredith said

"I can out down last, first, and deposit." George said

"It's totally a bribe." Cristina said

"I can cook, and i'm an obsessive cleaner." Izzy told them.

"No, I just want two total strangers who I don't have to talk to or be nice to, and it's not a bribe. It's a mocha latte." Meredith said then walked over to where Bailey stood.

"George, you're running the code team. Meredith and Charlie take the trauma pager. Cristina, deliver the weekend labs to the patients. Izzy, you're on sutures." Bailey told them then headed towards the stairs with Meredith right behind her. Charlie just leaned against the table watching all the other interns follow her like a lost puppy.

"Dr. Bailey, I was hoping to assist you in the O.R. today. Maybe do a minor procedure. I think I'm ready. Mocha latte?" Meredith said

"If she gets to cut, I want to cut, too." Cristina came up behind her.

"Yeah, me too." Izzy said

"I wouldn't mind another shot. I mean if everybody else is-" George said

"Stop talking. Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No. Why? Because my interns are whiny. You know what will make me look happy? Having a code team staffed, having the trauma pages answered, having the weekend labs delivered, and having someone down in the pit, doing the sutures. And all of y'all being more Charlie. No on holds a scalpel till I'm so happy, I'm Mary Freakin' Poppnins." Bailey said making the rest of the way up the stairs.

"Mocha latte, my ass. Charlie didn't even have to bribe her and Bailey likes her." Cristina told Meredith as Charlie started heading in the direction of truama.

"Why are y'all standing there? Move!" Bailey told them.

Meredith walked after Charlie where they grabbed there folders from the nurses station then went to the elevators. When they got in front of the elevators Derek and Theodore stood in front of them waiting too. Charlie looked at her sister, Derek, then Theodore.

"I'm taking the stairs." She said going towards the stairs.

"Me too." Theodore said looking between Derek and Meredith.

Theodore walked after her following her.

"So, your Derek's girlfriends sister?" He asked

"Yep." Charlie told him hoping down multiple stairs at a time.

"Nice, what's your name?" He asked

"Charlie Grey." She said

"Theodore Grant, nice to meet you." He said catching up to her.

"So where you headed?" Theodore asked stepping in front of her making her stop walking.

"Down to trauma. Gotta do trauma pages answering." Charlie told him.

"Mhm." He said biting his lip as he stared at her.

They were silent for a moment before Charlie cleared her throat.

"Better get going." She said walking past him.

"Mhm, bye." Theodore said watching her walk out the door with a smile.

Charlie walked to the elevator where Meredith was just coming out after picking files up off the ground.

"You so gave into him." Charlie chuckled as her sister set the files down on the counter before they went to room they were suppose too.

"Shut up" Meredith said knowing got was true.

"Are you two the surgeons?" A lady in brown scrubs asked them.

"Yeah." Meredith said

"We've got a rape victim. Better get in there." She told them and they walked in seeing a girl laying on the bed as the monitor beeped.

"25-year-old female found down at the park. Status- post trauma. She came in with a GCS of six. B.P. - 80 over 60. Exam is significant for blunt head trauma. Unequal breath sounds, right pupil is dilated, and she's ready for x-ray. Ready to roll?" The nurse in green scrubs asked as both girls just stared at the girl on the table.

"Hey!" The nurse called out.

"Yeah. Call ahead to clear a C.T. Let them know I'm coming. Load up the portable monitor. Call respiratory for a ventilator. I'll get x-rays while I'm down there." Meredith told them as Charlie checked everything on her.

They got her downstairs into surgery with Burke, Derek, and Theodore.

"She's gonna spend a hell of a long time in recovery and rehab." Derek said

"If she survives." Burke said putting something in a bucket.

"What is she, like 5'2, 100 pounds? She's still breathing after what this guy did to her? If they catch the guy, they should castrate him." Theodore scoffed.

"See how shredded her hands are? She tried to fight back." Burke said

"Tried to? Rape kit came back negative. She kicked his ass."

"So, we have a warrior among us, huh?" Burke said and everybody chuckled.

"Allison. Her- her name is Allison." Charlie told them.

"Allison." Theodore nodded his head.

"I think I may have found the cause of our rupture. More suction. What is this? Does anyone know what this is?" Burke asks everyone

"Oh, my god." Meredith stared.

"What? Spit it out, Grey." Burke told her

"She bit it off." Charlie spoke up.

"Bit off what?" Burke asked with confused look as well as everyone around them.

"That's h-his.... Penis." Charlie said and everyone groaned.

"She bit off his— his penis." Meredith said

%

Meredith and Charlie walked into Richard's office caring the penis in a cooler full of ice.

"Hi. Is the chief in?" They asked the women sitting in one of the chairs.

"He's on his way. Is that it?" She asked looking towards the thing Meredith's hand.

"Yeah." Meredith nodded her head.

"Can I see it? No. Forget I asked." She said

"Meredith, Charlie, its good to see you. Hey, I heard your mother was leaving Mayo. She going back with the U.N.?" Richard asked as the sisters looked at each other.

"She's, uh, taking time off."  Charlie said as he walked over to his desk.

"To who write another book, I suppose." Richard said as he wrote something down

"Listen, so, they said to bring this to you, so—." Meredith said shaking the cooler a bit.

"Yes, uh, for the police." Richard sat down in his chair.

"Right." Meredith sat it on the table.

"When did the police say they were coming?" Richard asked the woman.

"You know how slow they are, so they better take it with them." The woman said

"What?" Charlie asked

"You have to take it with you." The woman stood up.

"Chain-of-custody rules. All medical matter in a rape must stay with the person who collected it until it's placed into police custody." Richard told them

"You collected the specimen, so you have custody." The woman said picking papers up off of Richards desk.

"Custody of a penis." Meredith said

"Yes, until the cops come for it." Richard said as the woman walked out.

"Okay. Well, what are we suppose to do with the penis?" Charlie asked and Richard just tapped a pen.

%

Harper and Charlie walked into the lobby and set down cooler on the table.

"What's that?" George asked

"Don't ask. You don't want to know." Meredith told him.

"I do want to know. Really." George said

"You really want to know?" Charlie asked him and he nodded his head.

"It's a severed penis." Meredith told him and walking back into the room behind her.

"Okay. I didn't really want to know." George said as Meredith sat down at the computer with Charlie looking over her shoulder.

"Since when does the possession of ovaries become an insult?" Cristina asked stopping in the doorway.

"Meredith and Charlie are carrying a penis around in a jar." George spoke staring at the wall

"Oh, from the rape surgery?" Cristina asked walking over to the cooler.

"Yeah, and it's not a jar. It's a cooler." Meredith spoke as her and Charlie came out of the back room and Cristina opened the cooler looking at it.

"Talk about take a bite out of crime." Cristina closed the cooler and walked away.

Charlie grabbed the cooler and her and Meredith went back to the computer and George came in.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Allison's shoes are...."

"What?"

"The rape victim, Allison, her shoes. Mer has the same ones in her locker, and normally she doesn't wear them because they're uncomfortable. But today she did. And she was wearing the same shoes, and it just... it just sounds stupid, but I don't know I hear where she's coming from, but she thinks she just tired or something." Charlie spoke for Meredith.

"You know what you guys need?" George said they both looked at him and his eyes went wide.

"No." Meredith and Charlie both said sighing.

"It's sick and twisted. We said last time was the last time." Charlie said and George avoided eye contact with both of them.

"You've been doing it without us!" Meredith asked

"Nancy Reagan lord. You can't just say no. Come on." George said tipping his towards the doorway.

"Do you know what would happen if anyone knew?" Meredith asked him.

"I'm doing it. You can come with me, or you can stay here and be miserable." George said grabbing Meredith hand and Charlie's hand and started dragging them with him.

10 minutes later they stood in front of the baby glass as a bunch of babies wiggled around making noises. George stood at the glass making noise at them even though they couldn't understand him.

"You are such a woman." Meredith laughed at him making him look at her.

Before he could speak his pager went off.

"That's a code. I got to to go." George said as his pager beeped again.

Charlie and Meredith stood around looking at all the babies as Meredith sighed.

"They are really cute." Meredith spoke

Her smiled dropped after moment and slapped Charlie arm and pointed a baby with a blue face.

"Oh, my, god." Charlie gasped looking the blue baby.

They walked into the room and went to the baby. He wasn't blue anymore he was just like every other baby just squirming around. Meredith checked his heart beat as Charlie looked around at the other babies. The door suddenly opened and a girl i. Purple scrubs walked in with a chart. She saw Meredith checking the babies chart and Charlie walking around looking at other babies.

"What are you doing in here?" She asked them.

"The- there was no tests ordered, and the baby has a murmur." Meredith told the woman who set her hands on her hips.

"I know." Was all the lady said as Meredith shook her head.

"He turned blue." Charlie told her.

"You two are surgery. You're not authorized to be in here. Do you know how much trouble you can get into for this?" The woman asked walking over to them.

"Are you going to do any test?" Meredith asked as the girl glared at her.

"It's a benign systolic ejection murmur. It goes away with age." The girl told her with her arms cross.

"So you're not gonna do tests?" Charlie asked

"He's not either of your patient. He's not even in your service." The woman walked over to the door.

"Are you sure it's benign?" Meredith asked

"I'm a doctor, too, you know. You should get out of here." The doctor told them and Meredith grabbed the cooler and they walked out.

Later after Meredith interviewed more people for the roommates.

"So get most anybody?" Charlie asked as they walked down the hallway.

"Nope." Meredith told her.

"Hmm. What do we do?" Charlie asked

"Keep looking, I guess." Meredith told her. They walked up to the room where the rape victim laid. She has stitched up cuts all over her face a tube done her throat, a cast in her hand.she was rough. They stood staring at her as Derek and Theodore walked up.

"Man, we've called every hospital in the county." Theodore spoke looking at Charlie as she stared at the girl.

"I don't know. Sooner or later, the guy they did this is gonna seek medical attention. When he does, that penis you're carrying around is gonna nail him?" Derek spoke checking her eyes, as Theodore stood beside Charlie watching.

"Where is her family?" Meredith asked

"Doesn't have any." Theodore told her.

"No siblings?" Charlie asked

"No. Both parents are dead. She just moved to Seattle three weeks ago. Welcome to the city." Derek spoke as he wrote on her chart.

Meredith and Charlie stared at the woman and Charlie was away with Theodore in tow. Making about 2 meters before he spoke.

"Charlie, are you okay?" He asked

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to do something. I have to go." Charlie said running back over to Meredith who had the same thought process as her and they both walked off.

They ran off trying to find Dr. Burke finally finding him in the stairs they walked down the stairs after him.

"Dr. Burke?" Meredith spoke.

"Mhm."

"There a baby up in peds. I saw him have a tet spell, and I think I hear a murmur." Meredith said walking quickly after him.

"Hmm. Did peds call us for a consult?"

"Actually, no, they're not-."

"So you want me to what?"

"If you could just go up and look at him."

"Not without a peds consult. I'm a busy man, Grey, and there are rules. Look, it's not like I'm the chief or something." Burke spoke walking into the men's restroom.

%

Charlie and Meredith sat in the lobby of the hospital staring and looking around until Cristina tapped on the glass coming in.

"What are you doing down here?" Cristina asked sitting down with them.

"Just sitting here with my penis. What about you?" Meredith asked

"Hiding from Alex." Cristina spoke.

"I kissed Derek." Meredith spoke.

"Im pretty sure I almost kissed Theodore Grant, who is Derek's best friend, other neurosurgeon, both very, very good. But nothing happened." Charlie told them.

"You both have a thing for neurosurgeons that are attendings. Hmm, so you kissed Derek? You almost kissed Theo?" Cristina spoke and Charlie nodded her head.

"In the elevator." Meredith spoke.

"Oh, you kissed him in the elevator?"

"I was having a bad day. I am having a bad day."

"This is what you do on your bad days— make out with Dr, McDreamy. And you make out with McSweetie." Cristina said as Meredith stood up.

"Well, you know that and carrying around a penis just makes everything seem so shiny and happy." Meredith spoke throwing away her food as they all stood by the entrance of the hospital leaning against the glass.

"George said Allison was wearing your shoes."

"Yeah, it's weird, right?"

"It's weird that you care."

"I think it's weird." Meredith said and they heard tires screeching and looked out the glass to see a guy pull up and get out of his truck with blood all over him.

They ran outside as the guy fell to the ground. A bunch of doctor crowded around him and they all stood and watched. As soon as they flipped the guy over they saw that the crouch of his pant was bloody and put things together.

They ran in and Meredith got onto the the phone in the hallway.

"Can I have security, please?" Meredith asked then got the guy on a stretcher and started to wheel him through the hallway as Bailey walked up to them.

"What do we got?" She asked

"Take a look." Charlie told her

"What?" Bailey said lifting up the blanket that was covering him.

"Uh, let's get him to O.R. 1. Meredith, Charlie, you call the chief and let him know we got the rapist." Bailey told them.

They told the chief then scrubbed in for his surgery they stood back with Cristina.

"I saw Allison. You can't believe the beating that she took. And then to see this." Meredith spoke.

"It's like that old saying you should see the other guy." Cristina spoke.

"Why are we not attempting to re-attach the severed penis?" Bailey asked them.

"Teeth don't slice. They tear. You can only re-attach with a clean cut. If she wanted to slice him off with a knife...." Cristina spoke.

"Besides, the digestive juices didn't leave much of the flesh to work with." Meredith told her.

"Right. So, what do we do?" Bailey asked them.

"See him up minus a large part of the family jewels."

"And his outlook?"

"He'll be urinating out of a bag for a very, very long time. Not to mention he'll never be able to have sex again."

"Oh, too bad."

"Shame."

"Let's all take a moment to grieve. Clamp." Bailey spoke.

After the guys surgery Charlie and Meredith were wheeling him down the hallway when they Burke in the hallway and he looked at them before they turned away.

%

They got something from the vending machine and walked down to the basement where the other interns sat.

"So the police say they can't send a crime-scene guy down for hours, so I have to spend the night with the penis. Alex, don't say it." Meredith told him as she sat beside him and Charlie sat on the empty bed and rolled over closing her eyes.

"It was too easy anyway." Alex said as George hugged and at next Izzy.

"Who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing?" He asked and everyone raised their hands.

"I mean, are we supposed to be learning something? Because I don't feel like I'm learning anything." George spoke loudly.

"Expect how not to sleep." Izzy smacked whatever she was eating.

"It's like there's this wall. The attendings and the residents are over there, being surgeons, and we're over here, being..." Cristina spoke.

"Suturing, code-running, lab-delivering penis minders." Meredith spoke.

"I hate being an intern." Alex spoke.

"I hate attendings, they're a bunch of flirts." Charlie spoke.

Bailey walked in and looked at them all. Charlie rolled off the bed looking at her. She put her hands up and everyone started getting up.

Charlie and Meredith walked to the baby wing and watched as the parents smiled at their baby. Looking directly at the baby that had the murmur. Meredith and Charlie walked over to them.

"Hi. Is he yours?" Meredith asked

"Yeah." The mother asked

"He's adorable."

"Thanks."

They started to the tell the parents about the murmur that the baby has when the lady in the purple scrubs came out.

"You are so out of line." The lady told them.

"She says that murmur might not be benign." The dad said.

"I think we should do an echo to check." Meredith told her.

"This is your career." The woman said then walked back into the room.

"There really is no reason to get alarmed." Meredith told them as a guy in purple scrubs came out with the woman.

"What's the problem?" The guy asked.

"If our baby is sick, we want him treated... now." The mom said

"Who said your baby was sick?" The doctor asked

"The surgical intern, who has no business on our d service." The woman said crossing her arms as the guy sighed.

"Who authorized you two being here?" The guy asked

I was just—."

"I did. Can you excuse us for a second?" Dr. Burke came over and they walked away from the parents.

"Dr. Burke."

"Are you messing with my intern, Dr. Kay?"

"No, sir."

"Give me the chart."

"There's nothing wrong with him. I checked." The woman spoke.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You can guarantee he's fine? 100% sure?" Burke asked and she stared at him.

"How sure are you?" Dr. Kay asked her.

"I dont know, 75%."

"Not good enough. He's my patient now. That okay with you, Dr.Kay?"

"Absolutely."

"He can't take our patient."

"He's an attending."

"Which means I can do whatever I want." Dry Burke spoke and they walked over to the parents.

"Mr. And Mrs. Johnson, I'm Dr.Burke, head of cardio. We're gonna run some tests and give you an answer within the hour. Grey and Grey. Excuse me." He said the parents.

"I want an EKG, chest x-ray, and an echo. I don't have all day." Burke told them.

"You're a busy man." Charlie smiled.

"I'm a busy man." Burke told her.

Aster getting everything they went to Dr. Burke to ask about the results.

"Well?" Meredith asked him.

"It's a birth defect. Tetralogy of fallout with pulmonary atresia. You were right book an O.R. for tomorrow."Burke told them.

"Thank you for backing me up on this." Meredith told him.

"Wait, whoa. You were right. But if you ever pull a stunt like that again— going to the parents behind a doctors back, trying to steal a patient from another service— I will make your residency here hell on earth. Both of you." Burke told them then walked away.

They watched as he went and told the parents and they smiled at each other.

At the end of the night Charlie was laying on the ground and set her clothes under head as Cristina laid on the bench in her bra, Izzy laid on the other bench and Meredith stood at her locker and George was brushing his teeth by the sink in the locker room.

"I need a drink, a man, or a massage. Or a drunken massage by a man." Cristina spoke them out her top back on.

"What's wrong with you?" Cristina asked George and he spit in the sink.

"I lost five patients on the code team today. I feel like the angel of death." George said wiping his mouth then turning the water on and washing his mouth out.

"George, 95% of all code patients can't be revived. Most of them are seriously dead before you even get there." Cristina told him hooking her pager to her pant waist.

"What? Why didn't you tell me the when I was going on and on about how great it was gonna be?" George asked spitting out the water.

"Because... you're George and I'm Cristina." She said closing her locker, putting her coat on and walking out.

"Come on, char, we got to go see the baby." Meredith told her.

"Mhm, coming." Charlie spoke from they floor but not moving.

"Come on, Charlie!" Meredith spoke.

"Yeah." Charlie said standing up and yawning quickly.

They walked out then half-way there Charlie turned around.

"I'm gonna go see how the rape victim is." Charlie told her.

"Alright I'll tell you how the baby is." Meredith told her.

Charlie walked to the rape victims room where Derek was sat at the computer near by.

Charlie sat in the chair outside her room setting her head on her hand yawning as her eyes closed.

Charlie was suddenly waken two hours later by the Allison's heart monitor beeping rapidly. She looked up to see Derek and Meredith leaning in the doorway before racing towards Allison. Meredith hit the button in the room for the nurses to come help.

"Her ICP's doubler. Get O.R.! Prep for craniotomy. Let's hang a mannitol, uh... a blood gas." Derek spoke as Charlie stood up.

Her and Meredith stood at the corner of the hallway waiting for Theodore and Derek to come out of surgery. Finally after what felt like forever they came walking out.

"Hey. I, uh, had to leave her skull flap off until the pressure in her brain goes down." Derek told them.

"She's not gonna make it, is she?" Meredith asked

"She's gonna be fine."

"If she ever wakes up." Charlie spoke

"If she ever wakes up." Derek repeated.

Later they went back to Richards office to sign the paper to not have to carry the penis around anymore.

"So, here is where you have her signature, and down here, the initials." The woman from earlier told her

"Okay." Meredith and Charlie both said.

"It just days that the, um... the...." Richard spoke hesitantly.

"Penis." The woman finished for him.

"Look, I'm a doctor. I mean, I shouldn't be weird to say this. It's just that I see to change both their diapers." Richard walked over to them.

"I get it." Meredith spoke as they both nodded their heads.

"It just says that it was never out of your sight." Richard said and they nodded their heads.

"Here you go, one penis." Charlie gave him the cooler.

"Yeah." Richard nodded his head.

"Officer." Richard handed him the penis.

Later it was time for the baby's surgery. Meredith went to it, but Charlie went to the on-call rooms where their was one free bed left and knocked out. Hours later she woke up they were towards the end of the surgery and she watched the rest from the operating theater.

After the surgery Meredith, Charlie, Cristina, George, and Izzie all sat and watched the babies.

"Okay, fine, George and Izzie, you can move into the house." Meredith spoke.

"Yes!" They both cheered and started dancing

"I can't believe you caved!" Izzie said happily.

"Thank you." George patted both their shoulders.

"Yes!" They both said again and started to dance again.

"I can't believe I caved." Meredith spoke as she looked at the babies.

"I blame the babies. They make you toxic." Cristina walked away as George and Izzie danced away.

At the end of their second shift they walked down the stairs and over to the stairs where Derek and Theodore stood. They walked over to them standing by them.

"So, it's intense. This thing I have for ferry boats, I mean." Derek spoke

"I'm taking the stairs." Charlie shook her head as she smiled.

"Me too!" Theodore spoke before Charlie turned and put her hand on his chest.

"It's okay! Ride the elevator with your buddy." Charlie patted his chest.

"I'm taking the stairs wit you." Meredith told Charlie and they both started to walk away.

"No self- control. It's sad. Really." Derek chuckled as he and Theodore got in the elevator.

They walked down to lobby and out the doors to see their friends walking away. They ran up to them and started to talk with them as they walked away from the hospital.

I think the show is called Big Mood??

Also, your dating life content is so relatable for me. I live in this conservative city, and the men i see on the dating apps are just not the kind of men I'd want to build relationships with, and I've been lonely for so long. The guy i went out with yesterday said he was 5ft 10 in his bio and i met him and he was shorter than me (im 5ft7). And there are so many marridd men on this app looking to cheat on their wives. But I've now decided that I'm going to find short term comfort and have flings with men and just find amazing female friendships because really girls are just so much better at being human beings. Like no man is reaching the high standards my girlfriends have set. I have my real world girls and i have my Tumblr girls and no man could ever!!!!

i did give dating apps a chance and honestly? i only found psychos on there. i'm not even exaggerating. men are so entitled it's a fucking joke at this point. i dunno where they get the audacity. they all listen to these podcasts abt how to be a man and what you should want in a woman and they're basically beign taught how to deter every woman with a decent brain cell left because i hope no one in their right mind falls for that crap!!!! i can speak for my own following on here we all probably want a more dominant man, someone who knows what he wants and how to get it etcetc that's entirely different to a toxic narcissist!!! so beware y'all, it's hard to figure it out at the beginning especially if they also lovebomb you but trust me he's gonna show his true face sooner rather than later and when he does and it turns out he's a toxic narcissist, RUN.

sorry for the rant. but i've recently had one such experience where it looked like this guy was everything i was looking for in a man, right until he began talking abt what he's looking for in a woman and red flags were thrown at me from all directions.

as for men who lie on the apps, it's almost a given. honestly i understand it's kind of the only way to meet new ppl anymore but it's so freakin dangerous and best case sceario just leads to unnecessary drama i feel. yes i do know couples who have met like this but honestly they're also couples that i feel have settled. not at all my definition of a genuinely happy couple

bottom line, alone is not the worst case scenario guys, trust me!!!!
