Trouble

Summary: how he acts when he's in trouble/ "Men are from Mars, Women are from Miley Cyrus" Meme

Owen: “I should’ve bought you flowers”/“I can buy myself flowers”

A double dozen of Heirloom roses in one hand, a box of chocolate from Charbonnel et Walker in another - only the best of the best for you. Nervously he stands in front of the door before releasing a puff of air and opening the door. 

His first words should’ve been “I’m sorry” or “babe, I got you something”. But he sees flowers and chocolates already in your hands. 

“Who gave you those chocolates and flowers!?” 

“…Me, myself, and I.” 

…Well, crap.

“Oh, uh, what a coincidence. I got you flowers and chocolates too!” His smile strains, beads of sweat sliding down the back of his neck. 

Your expression couldn’t get any flatter was what he had thought when heard how pissed you were from Camila. Obviously, he’s proven wrong as your eyes start resembling the void. 

Slowly he places his gifts on the table and raises his hands in the air. 

“…So, I can explain-“ 

The next few minutes get spent with him making all sorts of excuses as to why he had decided to suddenly take a “surprise” to South Korea. Too bad for him you don’t buy any of it, calling him out for each one. And to make things worse, you reveal it’s both from Noah and Shelly (Noah, he sort of expected but Shelly? Shelly????) you found out about it  in three days since he left the UK, both complaining to you about him bothering them. 

“-think about your team and how much trouble you’re causing them! Also quit bothering that rookie, Jay! It’s clear he likes Shelly and intends to be good to her!” Instantly he snaps his head up. 

“You like him too-!?” 

When he makes an appearance later that day at the training facility, no one makes a comment about his bad mood or why he keeps grumbling about taking down a certain cyclist.

Jay: “And Held your hand”/ “I can hold my own hand”

He slouches on the bench, gloom filling the air around him. 

The whole day he tried to hold your hand. But somehow and some way you manage to always keep them full. Break time? Helping carry supplies to the classroom for the teachers. Lunch? Holding your phone and ID. 

Hell, this morning when he woke up from the impromptu sleepover, he found you holding your own hand. In your sleep. 

Minu and June tried to comfort him, patting his back and telling him you won’t stay mad for long. when he asked how they knew, the two of them refused to make eye contact with him. He didn’t need to be told anything else, the silence shared the next few seconds filled with camaraderie of dealing with their s/o’s wrath. 

To be fair, he was being honest when he told you about traveling to the US all of sudden and that he had fun with the guys. Just… minus the extra, little tidbits of him getting threatened with a gun. Then kidnapped. Then dealing with a drug case. 

 he practically forgot how easy it was for you to pick on the existence of missing pieces as you corner Dom during yesterday’s group study/sleep over to fess up everything since you knew he was going to keep it to himself. 

“I knew you’d be here.” Snapping his head up, his eyes wide. You stand in front of him, your hands are on your hips. “Next time you pull something like this, it’s forty-eight hours. Got it?” 

Starting by wrapping a finger around yours, he happily grabs hold of your hand as he mutters a sorry and promises not to do it again. 

The two of you end up being given disapproval looks the next day at school, the girls telling you you should’ve been harsher while the guys gave crap to him for getting off the hook so easily. 

Pole: “Should’ve gave you all my hours”/ “I can talk to myself for hours”

 He sits on the couch, his arms wrapped around the same leg he’s using to prop his chin as you sit next to him watching some rip off version of Love Island.

“Um, so listen-“ 

“Oh, that’s so funny!” 

“Look, I just want to say-“ 

“Wait what? Stewart cheated on Samantha?” 

“Babe, please-“ 

“That scumbag. That trash! That mother trucker-!” 

…So, he may or may not have messed up.

He swears up and down it wasn’t on purpose. He was simply overly excited that Oliver finally, in how many years, agreed to join his crew Gold Rush leading him to talk to the blue-haired male constantly for a few days. All while ignoring the signs of you trying to grab his attention and your texts. Perhaps even a few phone calls on top of that. 

So what do you do? Not talk to him. You texted with your friends, had phone calls with people both you are mutuals with. You talked to yourself. All regardless if he was there or not including now where he’s now up and stands between you and the screen. Every time you tilt your head so you’d be able to continue watching, he shuffles to block your way. When you sigh, he kneels and wraps his hands around you. 

“Please talk to me, I’m sorry-!” He whines, stubbornly keeping his head on your lap while you try to shove him off. “Please!!!”

It’s quiet for a moment, him giving you the kicked-puppy look while you blankly stare at him. 

“…I can’t believe this.”

Despite his ears bleeding from hearing your rant about how he had the audacity to brag Oliver’s ears off about you when he was ignoring you, it ends up being worth it as he was able to talk to you again along with having a snuggle session. 

Wooin: “Take you to every party”/ “Take myself dancing”

He finally loses it, watching you stuff your phone and go back dancing. You didn’t blink or consider answering; just one glance and done. 

Okay, fine. He should’ve been more truthful about where he was and what he was doing the night of Vinny pointing a broken glass bottle at his neck, especially after you had warned him about his business was going to “bite him back in the ass” because he’s “too mean” to people. 

Did he expect you to be mad when you found out about it? Yes. For you to go clubbing by yourself, without him, during the whole weekend? No. 

Slipping through the crowd with ease and expertise, he reaches you right on time to witness the one moment all boyfriends hate. 

“Come on, I promise it’ll be fun.” There’s no exception. That loser hitting on you? That guy’s dead, one way or another. 

Or that’s what was supposed to happen. When or how you realized he’s there, he has no idea, completely catching himself and the group around you off guard as you turn and kiss him. 

“No way. I told you I was taken!”

His brain doesn’t go back online until the two of you are a distance away from the club and you let go of his hand. 

“I’m never doing that again…” You grumble, crouching down while going on a tangent about how much you hate nightclubs. 

His tempers flares and he clicks his tongue.  “Yeah? And what made you think it was smart to go alone?” 

Another regret is born as he quickly learns you weren’t out drinking while dancing on the floor - you were actually very much sober. Add that to you also being the only one so far that could out-smart him when arguing, he faces your (nagging) rage wordlessly. At least it doesn’t take long nor that bad, you calling it even since he did save you by appearing when you were getting hit on and kissing him on the cheek as thanks.

Not to be overly morbid, but do yall ever think about suicide in prythian? Personally, i think killing yourself would be pretty common. I mean, it has to be given how few old people seem to exist in this world even though fae (or atleast high-fae) seem to insanely powerful and difficult to kill

And I dont think its because living in prythian sucks THAT much or even because being immortal is THAT bad, i mean arguably the biggest issue with immortality would be to watch all your loved ones die and thats not something that sjm's fae have to deal with. I think its moreso a thing of people just kinda getting tired of living after a few centuries and being like "welp. ive experienced pretty much everything, time to explore the world beyond" yknow. Thats why I think Velaris would have a pretty high suicide rate, because if youre stuck in a city thats presumably completely stagnant and never changes because its already perfect, youre going to run out of new enjoyable things to do wayyyy more quickly and get tired of your existence. It would also explain how this city full of immortals that can never leave but can reproduce hasnt already collapsed under the weight of overpopulation after over 5000 years

One idea that i like because it could make for some poignant commentary is that suicide rates are really high among faeries because theyre a lot more likely to live in poverty and its really hard to escape poverty and its really fucking miserable so after a few decades most of them decide they dont wanna live like that, and its gotten to the point where the high fae think they just naturally have shorter lifespans for some biological reason when they can actually live just as long as high fae, its just that they take poison or some shit to die in their sleep or something idk. Maybe thats a little very dark for acotar, but then again, sjm is constantly throwing around domestic violence and abuse and rape in this series so

I think suicide rates among high lords would be pretty high as well because I imagine their lives are pretty monotonous and tiring because of their responsibilities and because its not like they can leave prythian for an extended period of time to experience some new things or have some fun adventures, theyre tied to their court geographically. And god, can you imagine what would happen if theres a crisis. Yknow how a while ago the UK went through like 5 prime ministers in two weeks because of some bullshit that was happening? Imagine that but its just all these newly-chosen high lords killing themselves because they cant handle their court for some reason. I actually have a theory that thats what happened in the night court because theres this weird little throaway line where they say like, Mor's family used to be the ruling family but then the highlord power somehow got transferred to Rhys' family and its been driving me insane because WHAT do mean by that??? So basically, I think there was a time when Mor's highlord-chosen ancestors kept killing themselves for one reason or another, none of them wanted to be highlord and the magic of the land kept reaching out further and further until it landed on like, Rhysand's great-granddad who was only distantly related to Mor's ancestors and the ruling line just continued from there

Anyway, Id like to end this post on a more positive note and talk about the demographic that I think is the least likely to kill themselves, and thats the youngest children of noble families with multiple children. As ive said, im mostly basing this off of any given fae's ability to have a lot of new experiences to keep their lives from becoming monotonous and tiresome (combined with their material circumstances) and I think the youngest children of nobles hit the sweet spot of being pretty wealthy and not needing to do a lot of hard labour that would take up their time while also not being tied down by responsibilities that would force them to stay in one place. (Unless its a family of all girls and the youngest is their only son ig because as of acomaf, prythian is super patriarchal but i try not to think abt that ngl)

[pebbles-scatter]

my human perry stuff ig

-aboriginal australian. specifically wiradjuri.

-starting off w how he's connected to the flynn-fletchers: he is ferb's bio mom's lil brother.

- cover story is...whatever is plot convenient. but im fond of insurance agent bc of doof 101

-half white australian ig but he has little contact w that side of his family bc his mom cut contact before he was born. (they SUCK!!!)

-orphan. parents died when perry was 3 in a car crash & was found w a family of platypuses by his sister

-34 (born in 1973 bc the show takes place in the summer of 07 to me)

-trans man (realized he was trans when he was 11-13) (just like me fr)

-5'4

-yes that means his chosen name is bartholomew (perry for short.) lets all laugh at him!!!!

-gay ace.

-autistic. obviously. ptsd too.

- pcos

-selectively mute. nearly completely mute but does speak very veryyy occasionally.

-sign languages he knows: auslan, bsl, asl

-languages he knows: english, spanish, german (specifically a bit of drusselsteinian), some arabic, some mandarin, a tiny bit of yiddish from being around the garcia-shapiros lol

- his physique is akin to a gymnast/pole vaulter. hes strong but too much muscle can impact flexibility. which, as a secret agent, he kinda needs.

-classic lit NERD!!!!!!!!

ok now time for his backstory:

-perrys sister is 11 years older than him and died soon after ferb was born (who i will call E bc i can't come up w a name for her and mammalofaction's human perry au did smth to my brain)

-her death is mystery...to me. i have no idea how she died.

-they enter an OWCA orphanage nd they (well...just E at first. bc perrys a toddler lol) rly show promise. shes officially scouted when shes 15. (perry is scouted when hes 10)

-(dont. ask abt the remaining family lets just say theyre too far away or broke to take in kids. its a plot device)

-owca not a fun place to grow up. really rough in general esp once youve been scouted to work as an agent. does not help that there are adults there that enjoy the power they wield.

-when E is 18 she enters uni. owca helps her out. when shes 19 shes sent to the owca's uk division. does law foundation then gets a law degree.

-when shes 25 shes finally able to get guardianship of perry.

-perry. really struggles here. hes traumatized by his time alone in owca. he was already selectively mute but yeah being traumatized doesnt Help. at this point he's still in owca schooling just now allowed to live w E bc she's an agent & hes skipping classes flunking etc. it takes a while for him to rly put effort back into living.

-on a more positive note perry wasnt completely alone in australian owca. he was friends w future agent kangaroo. he had a brief crush on him around the time perry realizes he's trans so theres a real (do i want to be him or do i want him)

-her & lawrence begin dating when shes 28 and they marry when shes 32. theyd been friends since she was 24 tho

-they have ferb 3 years later. she dies soon after.

-perry moves in lawrence and helps take care of ferb. lawrence somehow someway makes his way to america meets linda falls in love etc. i think perry & ferb go back in forth btwn the us & the uk.

-eventually obv lawrence & linda move in & marry. perry stays in the uk.

-he gets relocated to the us at some point & law+lin are like hey you should stay with us.

-in 2001 before 9/11 (this is for me ok let me get a few jokes in im aware they only had him for 5 yrs but he is 6 as a platypus) perry moves to the us. lives by himself in america for a year before moving in w the flynn-fletchers. (ferb obv knows perry but so do phin & candace. just to a lesser extent.)

-beyond that is very flexible. perry cld have only known doof since the beginning of the summer or since the moment he arrived in america. doesnt rly matter lol but if i did have to give a time id say theyd been nemeses for 3 years.

Accessing the Stowe School Recording

What is the Stowe School Recording?

On the 4th of April 1963 (two weeks after the release of Please Please Me) the Beatles played a gig at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. One of the students present (John Bloomfield) recorded the gig, and recently rediscovered that recording. He donated it to the British Library, which means anyone can go and listen to it (see below for details).

Is it worth it?

Obviously your mileage may vary, but for me that answer is definitely yes. I wasn't expecting the recording to be over an hour long, but I stayed and listened to the whole thing. I reckon I'll go back again if I can fit it in next time I'm in London.

Alright, how do I listen to it?

The recording is free to listen to, and is available in the Sound Archive at the British Library in London. The building is about 2 minutes walk from King's Cross St Pancras. (map)

You need a Reader Pass to access the room. If you're a UK citizen you can just get one on the day, but if you're not then I recommend starting the process online before you go.

You will need:

Photo ID

Proof of address

They give you an ID card that's valid for 3 years. The process was pretty straightforward and the staff are very helpful. They have very good cloakroom facilities and free secure lockers, so if you have carry-on sized luggage with you, you can store it there while you visit.

They're very strict about what's allowed into the reading rooms, so plan to use the lockers.

Once you have your card, go to the Rare Books and Music reading room on Floor 1. Marvel at the ancient tomes people are carefully examining. Find a computer with a set of headphones attached (towards the back right of the room) and set yourself up. If you have your own laptop you can use one of the empty spots in that area.

Search the catalogue for something like "Stowe Beatles". There are pages and pages of other recordings you might also like to listen to.

What's the playlist?

I Saw Her Standing There Too Much Monkey Business Love Me Do Some Other Guy Misery I Just Don’t Understand A Shot of Rhythm and Blues Boys! Matchbox From Me To You Thank You Girl Memphis Tennessee A Taste of Honey Twist and Shout Anna Please Please Me Hippy Hippy Shake I’m Talking About You Ask Me Why Till There Was You Money (there's a section here where the tape got recorded over with an incredibly annoying song) I Saw Her Standing There (reprise)

My highlights

Stowe School was an all-boys school at the time, but it's clear from the recording that there are girls at the gig.

Boys! gets a huge response, and I'm pretty sure it's Ringo singing Matchbox immediately after. Later (around 55m) the crowd starts chanting for Ringo to sing again.

There's a good amount of banter between John and Paul, not all of it very clear. I'd love a chance to sit and listen to those parts over and over again, and see what I can make out. Alas I didn't have time, and I only had the in-browser audio player, which made it basically impossible to hop around.

The crowd starts shouting out requests at some point, and some boys shout for A Taste of Honey. There's some laughter, and the timing of it sounds to me like John is mugging.

Towards the end someone shouts for How Do You Do It and one or John or Paul sings the opening phrase, with an audible smile, but they don't sing it.

Anything else?

If you can, I recommend bringing your own laptop and headphones. There are computers and headphones there, but the browser interface is not ideal for going to specific timestamps, you have limited control over volume, and I think you'd get more out of it with medium to high end headphones.

If you want to skip the truly awful song that got recorded over a section of the tape, the original comes back in around 1:01:25.

In the same building they have some of Hunter Davies's donation on display in the Treasures Gallery. This was a small selection on the day I went, and I was pretty disappointed, but they do rotate those displays every six months. It may also be possible to access the other items for research purposes, I haven't investigated that yet.

"Top Dog Accessories UK: Stylish, Safe, and Must-Have Essentials for Every Pup"

In the modern world of pet care, the days of basic collars and plain leashes are long gone. For today’s discerning pet parents, their four-legged companions deserve only the finest. As dogs continue to secure their role as cherished family members, the demand for cool dog accessories UK is soaring. No longer an afterthought, accessories now reflect a blend of function, flair, and luxury—ensuring pets stay comfortable, safe, and stylish wherever they go.

The UK has become a hub for curated and innovative pet gear that’s designed not only with practicality in mind but also with personality and panache. From hand-stitched leather harnesses to designer bowls, pet owners are on a mission to find the best dog accessories UK has to offer. These items aren’t just for show—they are crafted with premium materials and thoughtful details that elevate the daily life of every pup.

A New Era of Pet Fashion and Functionality

The shift toward high-end and thoughtfully designed accessories signals a growing awareness about dogs’ comfort and well-being. It’s no longer enough for a collar to “just fit.” It must support the dog’s neck, offer adjustability, be made of durable, skin-friendly material, and look good while doing it.

Brands specializing in luxury dog accessories UK have taken cues from human fashion and lifestyle trends, introducing everything from weather-proof designer coats to bespoke ID tags. These aren’t just pretty additions. Each accessory serves a specific purpose—whether it's for safety during walks, warmth in colder months, or even anxiety relief through snug-fitting harnesses.

For example, reflective collars and leads aren’t just stylish—they help ensure your pup’s safety during nighttime walks. Cooling bandanas keep dogs comfortable in the summer. Everything has a thoughtful angle to improve a dog’s life while also making a statement.

The Essentials That Every Stylish Pup Needs

While luxury is appealing, the best accessories are also functional. Essential items like collars, leads, harnesses, and tags form the foundation of a dog’s wardrobe. But with the rise of boutique pet brands in the UK, even these basics are getting premium upgrades.

A well-designed lead made from durable materials like braided rope or padded nylon offers control without discomfort. Look for ergonomic handles and rust-proof clips. Dog collars now come in a variety of materials, from eco-friendly fabrics to genuine leather, often personalized with names or charms that highlight a dog’s individuality.

Harnesses, particularly for smaller breeds or those with respiratory issues, are now designed to distribute pressure evenly, minimizing strain and improving comfort during long walks or training sessions. With the availability of cool dog accessories UK retailers are offering, it's easier than ever to combine safety with style.

Comfort That Matches Class

Comfort is non-negotiable when it comes to accessories, especially for puppies or aging dogs. Soft fleece-lined harnesses, cushioned neckbands, and anti-pull designs are now standard in many high-end collections.

In fact, luxury dog accessories UK often focus on orthopedic designs and hypoallergenic fabrics. Memory foam dog beds, non-slip feeding mats, and breathable raincoats reflect a thoughtful blend of design and care. These accessories don’t just pamper pets—they provide health benefits too.

Just like humans invest in supportive footwear or ergonomic chairs, pet owners are choosing accessories that promote their dog’s long-term well-being.

Personalised Touches for Unique Personalities

Nothing says “you’re loved” like a personalised gift—and pets are no exception. Accessories that feature a dog's name or custom engraving not only look classy but also serve practical purposes. Personalized food bowls, monogrammed jackets, and engraved ID tags all contribute to a dog’s unique presence.

In the realm of best dog accessories UK, personalization is a growing trend. It shows that the owner has taken time to ensure their dog’s accessories are as unique as their personality. Whether it’s a playful print, custom embroidery, or a designer collar tag, the goal is to celebrate what makes every dog special.

Supporting Local and Sustainable Choices

Another key aspect of the accessory market in the UK is sustainability. Many brands producing cool dog accessories UK are turning toward environmentally responsible practices. This includes using recycled materials, biodegradable packaging, and ethical sourcing.

Shopping from local brands not only supports small businesses but often results in higher quality products crafted with care. British artisans and pet-focused companies are gaining a loyal following for their commitment to quality, community, and the planet.

Why Luxury Doesn’t Have to Mean Extravagance

One common misconception is that luxury equates to extravagance. But in the world of pet accessories, luxury often means durability, ethical craftsmanship, and tailored design. It’s about investing in items that last longer, perform better, and look beautiful doing it.

Choosing luxury dog accessories UK can actually be a smart investment. A premium lead may cost more upfront, but it can outlast several cheaper alternatives, proving to be the more economical and sustainable option in the long run.

Final Thoughts

In the UK, dogs are more than pets—they’re companions, protectors, and members of the family. With that status comes a desire to provide them with the very best, not just in care, but also in comfort, safety, and style.

Thanks to a growing selection of best dog accessories UK brands and retailers, pet owners have access to an ever-evolving array of products that cater to every need and taste. Whether it's a chic harness for city strolls or a plush bed for cozy evenings, the options are as diverse as the dogs who wear and use them.

By exploring cool dog accessories UK, embracing luxury dog accessories UK, and choosing thoughtfully designed gear, you’re not just spoiling your dog—you’re investing in their happiness and well-being. And when your dog struts confidently down the street, tail wagging, wearing their new gear, you’ll know it was worth every bit.

[sweetchillipeppers]

i was recently diagnosed (<6 months ago) with adenomyosis and my doctor also suspects endometriosis. my edonomyosis symptoms gradually got worse as time went on. i started with heavy periods and painful cramps at about age 14 and i fainted because of it when i was 17. when i was 18 i started getting diarrhoea and then when i was 19 vomiting also joined the party of symptoms plaguing my periods.

this is not normal, period pain should only be mild discomfort. i likely wouldn’t have got diagnosed because i was just happy that doctors could treat my symptoms but my mom advocated for you. if you struggle to advocate for yourself at the doctors, especially if you’ve gaslit yourself into thinking it’s not that bad, please bring someone you know will advocate for you.

adenomyosis mostly affects people who are above the age of 30 and have had a child. i am neither of those things. if something feels wrong please see a specialist. if you can’t afford a specialist (i understand not all countries have universal healthcare - i love the NHS but even i had to go private for gynaecology) learn how to treat your individual symptoms and start noting down what’s going on.

how i treat cramps:

- mefenamic acid (in the UK this requires a prescription)

- hot water bottle or an ice pack (both work for me although you need to make sure you have a tea towel or smth between the ice pack and your skin)

- pretending i’m in battle and have been slain and am waiting for assistance from my friends (while i writhe in pain in bed) if thinking about something fun like your favourite fictional character helping soothe you do it. it’s important your mental health stays healthy while you’re in pain. people with adenomyosis and endometriosis are more likely to develop mental health disorders like anxiety and depression (if i find the study i’ll link it)

- dark chocolate

how i treat diarrhoea:

- loperamide 2mg you can get this at most supermarkets. in tesco you need to be 18. Boots did not ID me. in the netherlands kruidvat did not ID me either.

- having excessive amounts of toilet paper all the time

how i treat vomiting:

- cry

- ginger. ginger is a natural stomach relaxant it should stop your stomach being upset at you. you can drink ginger tea or ginger shots (cold ginger drinks often mixed with apple juice) i had waitrose ginger shots once and it burned worse than tequila so in the uk i use tescos. in the netherlands albert heijn has loads of options for ginger shots so i think we should get them in the uk too.

- bland food afterwards. plain rice, pasta, toast. nothing spicy, oily or too sweet. i am usually sensitive to strong smells when i’m nauseous so i avoid anything too strong smelling, even stuff i like.

- water. please stay hydrated.

this is a mostly comprehensive insight on how i manage my pain (written on a bad flare up day - i spent 4 hours on the toilet with my bin on my lap) and if this post isn’t lost in the void then add your own treatments because i can always use new ideas.

Female reproductive health terms you should know!

(terfs not welcome)

Dysmenorrhea: Period pain that isn't normal, i.e. any pain more than Mild cramping.

Dyspareunia: painful intercourse

Oligomenorrhea: lighter, shorter menstrual flow.

Menorrhagia: heavier, longer menstrual flow.

Ovarian cysts: a mass on or in one's ovary, can be resolved on its own, or can remain and cause complications such as a rupture.

Polycystic ovary syndrome: a chronic condition causing cysts to reoccur on the ovaries and enlarging them. Symptoms include:

Irregular periods

hormonal imbalance

facial hair

weight gain

painful periods/ ovulation

infertility

People with PCOS are at higher risk for endometrial cancer, type II diabetes heart problems and high blood pressure.

Endometriosis: A chronic condition in which a tissue similar to, but different than, the endometrial lining grows outside of the uterus instead of inside. During menstruation this tissue sheds and has nowhere to go, thus irritating surrounding organs.

Symptoms include:

Irregular periods

Dysmenorrhea

Widespread pain

Painful ovulation

Vomiting, fainting, chills, sweating, fever and brain fog during menstruation

Infertility

Severe bloating

This also puts people at a higher risk for endometrial and ovarian cancer. There are four stages to Endo as it is a progressive disease, with 3/4 being more severe. The average time it takes to be diagnosed is 7 years.

Adenomyosis: A chronic disease similar and comorbid to endometriosis in which a tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows inside of the uterine wall. Symptoms are nearly identical to endometriosis but more difficult to detect.

Many people are diagnosed post menopause, by fault of the medical system, but it can and does develop much before then.

Ovarian cancer: cancer of the ovary(ies).

Endometrial cancer: cancer of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus.

Endometrial cyst, or chocolate cyst: cystic lesions from endometriosis.

Tilted uterus: the uterus is positioned pointing towards the back or severely to the front of the pelvis instead of a slight tilt towards at the cervix. Can cause painful sex and periods.

Pelvic floor dysfunction: inability to control your pelvic muscles. Comorbid with many things and is highly comorbid with endometriosis. Can cause pain and incontinence.

Vulvodynia: chronic and unexplained pain at the opening of the vagina.

Interstitial cystitis: a chronic condition where cysts form on the inside of the bladder and urinary tract and cause symptoms similar to that of a UTI.

Pre-eclampsia: a condition occurring in pregnancy where the blood supply between the fetus and the pregnant person is affected and can cause irregular blood pressure, swelling, and in more severe cases headache, nausea and vomiting, a burning sensation behind the sternum, shortness of breath and potentially death if untreated.

Endometritis: an infection or irritation of the uterine lining. Is not the same as endometriosis and is treatable but can cause pain, bleeding, swelling, general discomfort and fever, and more.

Pelvic inflammatory disease: an infection of the reproductive organs

Ectopic pregnancy: a pregnancy that is attached to the outside of the uterus. Can be fatal if left untreated.

There are many more I could probably add but if you see something missing, please add it!

I still feel a bit homesick. I know it's only been 3 months, but I feel a bit burnt out. I think I need a dating break and to focus on myself a bit more. I was going on one or two dates every week for the last month or two and I'm just exhausted. I'm so tired of doing the same thing over and over again. maybe like everyone says, I'll find it when I'm not looking. I don't think I have any more first dates in me for now. they've become so repetitive that I can't even tell what's a nice date anymore. or I can't appreciate them. they are starting to feel like interviews, and I used to really enjoy dating! so the best thing to do would be to have a break for a while. part of me really wants to make something of myself here, and the other half wants to just make money to survive and live, and enjoy my time here, however long that is. who really knows what will happen. I just hope I evolve and don't stay in the same place. I really don't want to be doing here what I was doing at home, or I will probably go insane. if it gets to that I will just head back home. no point staying here to struggle and not enjoy it.

I didn't really think id miss home so much. I guess I just never appreciated it that much and felt like I was stuck, which I was, but I also love and miss it. I guess both things can be true. I don't think I could see myself being here long term, especially not in London. I couldn't be here for the rest of my life. I miss my family and I'm too close with them. maybe I am just built different, but I don't think I could live on the other side of the world from them forever. I miss my friends too, even if they are all off doing their own thing. I miss Emma though and my sisters. I miss going to the beach and having it be 15 or 50 minutes from me. I miss how small Melbourne is. London and the uk are overwhelmingly big. I miss my weekly pilates classes, and walks through the reserves and suburbs. I miss Northside and the funky little pockets of Melbourne. I'm sure I'll be back one day, I just have no idea when.

Budget-Friendly Travel Hacks for Your UK Adventure

Do you want to explore the cool places and interesting culture of the United Kingdom without spending too much money? You're in luck! By being clever and planning well, you can have an affordable adventure in the UK. Whether you're wandering around London, admiring the beautiful Scottish countryside, or enjoying the beaches of Cornwall, these tips will help you save money while having a great time.

Go in Off-Peak Seasons: It's cheaper to travel to the UK during spring or autumn when there are fewer tourists. This means you'll find cheaper accommodation and won't have to wait in long lines at popular attractions.

Choose Budget-Friendly Accommodation: Instead of expensive hotels, consider staying in hostels, guesthouses, or Airbnb rentals. You can even try house sitting or couchsurfing for a unique and cheap place to stay.

Visit Free Attractions: There are plenty of amazing things to see in the UK that won't cost you anything. You can explore museums, landmarks, and parks for free. Look for free walking tours or explore on your own to discover hidden gems without spending any money. Are you ready to start a beautiful journey with your loved ones? If yes, then you found this page at the right time. Now, you might be wondering why it is like this. It is because now you don’t have to wait for better opportunities to spend time with your loved ones, because the opportunity is already here. EasternEye has teamed up with the National Trust to offer a family day out to some of the UK’s most beautiful and historic places for free. This partnership will help you and your loved ones go on a wonderful journey.

Use Public Transportation: Getting around the UK doesn't have to be expensive. Take buses, trams, or trains instead of taxis or rental cars. Buying a travel pass or a railcard can also save you money on transportation.

Pack Wisely: Pack light and bring versatile clothes that you can mix and match. This way, you won't need to bring as much luggage, saving you money on baggage fees. Don't forget to bring reusable water bottles and snacks to avoid expensive purchases while you're out exploring.

Eat Like a Local: Instead of eating at fancy restaurants for every meal, try local street food markets, bakeries, and affordable eateries. You can also save money by buying groceries from budget supermarkets or having a picnic in a park.

Look for Discounts: Before you go, search for discounts and deals on attractions, restaurants, and shops. Many places offer discounts for students, seniors, or if you book in advance. Use websites, apps, and travel forums to find the best deals and save even more money.

Join Free Walking Tours: In the UK, many cities offer free walking tours led by friendly guides. These tours show you cool places and hidden spots, teaching you interesting things about the local culture and history. Best part? They don't cost anything! If you had fun, you can give the guide a tip at the end, but only if you want to.

Check Out Local Markets: Visit lively local markets to save money on food and souvenirs. You can find all sorts of stuff there, like fresh fruits, yummy homemade snacks, and unique gifts, all at good prices. Try out local foods and see if you can haggle with the sellers for even better deals.

Use Student Discounts: If you're a student, bring your student ID card along. Lots of places in the UK, like attractions, restaurants, and transportation, offer discounts to students. Just ask about student discounts wherever you go to save more money during your trip.

Have Picnics: Instead of eating out all the time, plan picnics in pretty spots around the UK. Buy fresh food from local markets or shops and enjoy eating outside in parks, gardens, or by the sea. It's not only cheaper but also lets you enjoy the lovely views while you eat.

Try Free Outdoor Fun: The UK has amazing outdoor places you can explore for free. You can go hiking in national parks, walk along beautiful coastal paths, or ride bikes through scenic countryside. These activities let you enjoy nature without spending any money, keeping your trip budget-friendly.

By following these tips, you can have an amazing adventure in the UK without spending a lot of money. Whether you're exploring historic landmarks or trying delicious local food, you'll have a great time knowing that you're getting the most out of your travel budget. So pack your bags, head to the UK, and get ready for an affordable adventure you'll never forget!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!

This post is gonna basically be my personal boundaries and stuff, I will link the system account at the end of the post if you wanted to follow it!

INTRODUCTION

Hello! My name is Nico or Swan, I use They/Them pronouns and I’m the host of a DID system from the UK. Bodily we are 17, I also identify strongly with being 17. As said I use they/them and I am nonbinary, I’m also asexual Panromantic!

My favourite colour is Navy, I’d love to dye my hair that specific shade one day. My favourite movie it Queen of The Damned, I think it’s a beautiful movie and a lovely follow up to Interview with A Vampire.

My favourite tv show is The Owl House, I am absolutely obsessed with it and 100% the reason we split Hunter (I watched TOH during trauma). My favourite food is chicken drumsticks and it has been my comfort food for ages.

My favourite song is the song Ma Cherie by Palaye Royale, it’s a huge comfort to me.

In headspace my hair is white, my eye colour is like a minty-green colour. I’m 5’9” in headspace. I dress really grungy and I also have 4 tattoos in the innerworld!

BOUNDARIES

I have quite a lot of personal boundaries so I’ll list them post important to least important!

Do not vent in my asks, comments or reblogs

Nontraumagenics please do not interact with me, it makes me really uncomfortable.

Supporters of the above are also not to interact, you all make me VASTLY uncomfortable. Nontraumagenic neutral people are on thin ice. If you bring up discourse I will block you but if you’re just here for content I don’t care.

If you use transharmful ids (aka are radqueer transgender) please please fuck off. You all make me incredibly nauseous.

People who interact with subreddits like r/systemscringe r/fakedisordercringe as well as r/DID and r/OSDD are asked to please not interact. For the first two subs it is because they are something that sets me back in my recovery. If the system or me is posted there please DO NOT tell me but we as a system urge you to campaign for them to be taken down. The last two subreddits are for two different reasons r/DID is because they have become very elitist and are not a safe space for me anymore. r/OSDD is because they enable people to self diagnose with ZERO research. For my safety and comfort if you are involved in them please don’t interact here

I am physically disabled and for that reason I ask that people with the mentality of “you’re too young to be disabled” to please please leave my account.

I suffer from delusions, I have an emote from a custom emotes account I will link in the comments. If I believe I have actively delusional or in a state of psychosis I will put that image in the post. It says “reality check please”. If that emote is not there please do not reality check me.

I have BPD and Bipolar and am prone to manic episodes, if you are someone who will enable dangerous actions then please leave my page.

I am involved with “problematic” media’s, and while I do not support the creators or actions within those media’s I ask those who DO please do not interact.

I have the worst amnesia in the system, if you are someone who uses that to your advantage then please leave my profile because you are dangerous to me.

Those who trigger for fun are not welcome here!

I am in active ED recovery so proED accounts are urged to please stay away.

BEFORE YOU INTERACT

I am literally a traumatised person, so just like…keep that in mind ig?

I follow the rest of the system in their anti-endo view. Literally don’t even come here if you identify as one or support them.

I tend to not to hold my tongue in stressful and traumatic situations and if you stress me out I will just snap at you!

I’m not here for education, if you want education then oh my good use google or go look at our system account HERE

DO NOT INTERACT IF:

You identify as endogenic

Support those who say they are systems without trauma

Are proED

Are radqueer

Trigger people for fun

You do not believe that traumatised people are entitled to “harsh” boundaries

You do not believe traumatised people are entitled to have a DO NOT INTERACT

Are over the age of 21

british grand prix ✩ 09.07.2023

imagine... the beach, the sea, the feeling of sun on your skin; a pina colada in your hand... 🍹☀️🌊🏖️🌴 now, imagine seeing a young person in the periphery of your eye sight, sweating, refreshing their ipad screen every two seconds, despite the terrible wifi. what are they up to, you think to yourself. they seem stressed, a family emergency? maybe a fight with their partner? you decide to take a closer look - maybe you can help!

as you come closer, the ipad screen starts to become more clear to you. the person is looking intensly at the screen, their hands in a praying motion, as if they're asking god themself. and then you see it. a car. all of this over a car. on one of the most beautiful places a person can be, this person is watching a fucking car. on a screen.

you go back to your seat. what the hell dude.

RIGHT so as you can maybe guess!!! that person!!! was i!!! 💥💥💥💥💥‼️‼️‼️ i was celebrating a summer holiday on the beautiful island of kos, greece, when silverstone weekend took place 😵☀️ and instead of being a normal person about it, i told my now ex i needed to watch it, no matter what. LMAO. 💥💥💥

Operation Pied Piper. The evacuation of children from London (and other cities considered to be vulnerable to air attacks) began three days before war broke out in September 1939.

Many kids from London were initially evacuated to my area of Kent... just 25 miles south of central London. This was a rather silly mistake, as many German bombers (and later the V1 and V2 rockets) passed over this area en route to London. When the bombing raids began in 1940, some Luftwaffe pilots dropped their payload of bombs early, and many of the V1 and V2 rockets dropped short of their intended targets. Most of the evacuees were later moved to safer areas... but not all.

One group of evacuees who stayed in Kent were from a London County Council children's home which relocated to Crockham Hill, Kent (close to my childhood home of Hever, and my current home near Westerham.) In June 1944 a V1 Doodlebug, possibly flying low after being damaged by anti-aircraft fire, was tipped off course by a tree and landed directly on Weald House (the children's home) killing 21 infants and seven female staff.

As for my parents...

My mother had just entered her teenage years when war broke out. While she still attended school, mother volunteered to help out at a local dairy farm in Hever.

Mum loved the cows. She would sing as she milked them to keep them calm... especially when there were aircraft overhead, or bombs could be heard exploding nearby. Mother stayed in Kent for the duration of the war.

My father was living in what is now my Kent residence. He loved watching The Battle of Britain... the aerial fight between the RAF and the Luftwaffe as Germany sought to gain air superiority before invading the UK.

Being just a few miles south of RAF Biggin Hill, Dad and his mates used to watch the action from the top of the Greensand Ridge, where they could view action over both the Holmesdale to the north, and the Weald valley to the south.

On one occasion, Dad and his friends were watching from the middle of a field near Ide Hill (the highest point in Kent.) A low flying  Messerschmitt flew directly at them... and strafed the field with machine gun fire. Father and his friends ran for cover in the woods.

That German pilot could probably have taken them all out, if he had really wanted to... but, instead he gave them a friendly warning to not be so bloody stupid! I would love to know who that "enemy" pilot was... Vielen Dank. Gott segne!

Father was evacuated to Shropshire in 1942 to finish his education.

An obviously distressed small child being evacuated from London in September 1939. But the expected early attack didn't occur and by mid January 1940 it was estimated that 34% of the people evacuated had returned to London, and the return continued due to a perceived lack of threat or because they were unhappy away from their families and their homes.

an; this chapter contains smut, please read at your own risk. 18+ only

—————————————

♡ you said forever♡

chapter 6 ; i promise with all my heart i love you

— two month later —

the past two months had been a rollercoaster. you and natasha had yet to have fallen out, it shocked everyone how quickly you both fell back into a rhythm of a relationship again after so long. within the first month you had flown back over to the UK with everyone in sorting out your things in your house, you made the decision to move back to the compound. alia was very happy about not having to move back to where she called home, it felt normal moving back. tony managed to sort everything out to be moved and within 2 weeks all of your things were safety confided in the compound. and just like that you were settled back into the compound on yours and nats shared floor. tony had refurbished one of the offices on your floor into a room for alia rather than her staying in your bedroom.

you loved watching alia and natasha interact, it was something that you couldn’t help constantly taking pictures of. you don’t think you had ever seen natasha actually fully worn out before but after some days of alias extreme excitement of going out and doing things with you and nat, you often ended up finding alia asleep on nats chest as natasha slept completely still underneath her. no one believed they had ever seen natasha smile so much other than when she was with alia.

for the first month you had slept separately from natasha, you both wanted to ease back into the elements of your relationship slowly - well as much as you could seeing as you both had alia to look after together- mainly because it was new again but also so alia could adjust more to everything happening around her. you didn’t want to overwhelm her more than you could only imagine you already had.

you wanted to talk to natasha about easing into some other parts of your relationship again but you didn’t know how to talk about them. you hadn’t really had any time just the two of you, alia was always around. you had kissed a handful of time in the past two months but you felt yourself wanting more. you had been without physical contact and attraction that you wanted for 4 years. but how can you go about them conversations when you always had a 3 year old on your hip, it wasn’t easy so you went to wanda, alia and nat were out for the day while you chose to stay at the compound. you made your way to wandas floor in hopes of getting out some much needed girl talk.

——

“i don’t know what you’re afraid of y/n, you’re basically back together so just kiss her? wow i never thought id be having this type of conversation with an adult who literally has a child”

“how can i just kiss her when alia is always there wanda? hey im 4 years out of practice just give me a break okay, its hard trying to put myself back out there especially to someone who knows me”

“how about i have alia tonight. me, her and vision can have a much needed sleep over. is that okay? then you can have some alone time with nat, is that what you want?”

flinging yourself into wandas arms and thanking her over and over with a kiss to her cheek, she laughed as you ran back over to the elevator shouting ‘ill bring her round with some stuff when she is back with nat thanks wands love ya!’ and you were already on your way back to your own floor.

——

you had been busying yourself in your kitchen for hours trying to make you and natasha a nice romantic dinner, you had already showered, shoving your hair into a messy bun and changed into some comfy pyjamas hoping for a chilled evening with her.

“MOMMMMYYYYY”

alias voice comes shouting behind you as you quickly turn in her arms to catch her as she comes sprinting right at you. your laugh echos around the room as natasha follows behind taking in the site of the table laid for only 2 people. your tiny conversation with alia about her day has you telling her she will be spending the night with wanda and vision has her cheering, the relief leaves your body as you tell her to go change into some pyjamas and grab whatever she wants to take down. natasha watches the whole interaction with a smile on her face as you turn back to the stove stirring the sauce for dinner. its as if nat suddenly feels an edge of confidence flow through her as she walks up behind you and wraps her arms around your waist to pull you flush against her body. you find yourself choking on a moan as you feel her hand drawing circles on your stomach. soft whispering in your ear has you leaning your head back onto nats shoulder.

“i’ll take her down to wanda, when i come back i’ll quickly shower and then im all yours detka. you just stay here and keep looking pretty in these shorts”

her hand moves from your waist to squeeze your arse cheek as she throws a smirk over her shoulder as alia runs into her arms and they walk to the elevator. your heart beats out of your chest from natashas words and actions. you knew she had been wanting to spend some time with you alone but you hadn’t expected her to be as open as she was, your face blushes as the images pour through your brain of what could happen tonight.

——

“thank you for dinner it was wonderful babe”

she stands from her seating moving over to take your empty bowl from in front of you as she leans down to press a kiss onto your cheek. you watch as she makes her way back to the kitchen and puts everything in the dishwasher to be washed later.

“wanna watch a film baby?”

you find yourself not even being able to produce words as you mindless nod in her direction and take her hand that is outstretched in front of her as she drags you over to the couch in front of the tv. her soft hands makes your whole body heat up, the sight of her toned arms in her tank top has you flushing like a teenager with a crush all over again. you can only shake your head in hopes of getting rid of the thoughts going through your brain.

you both find yourself settled into the couch, your side pressed sideways against natashas as her arm fits comfortably over your shoulders and hovers over your boobs.

you hadn’t been paying any attention to the film whatsoever. not when you were this close with natasha and all you wanted todo was attack her with kisses. your body seemed to be vibrating with adrenalin just being next to her.

lips on your neck has you stiffening first, not expecting natasha to have made a move. your body relaxes as she continues kissing up and down your neck slowly. your head moving to the side to give her more access. natashas hand sudden moves down the front of your top as she pulls you further back into her by your boob. your moans fill the room instantly, you hadn’t been kissed or touched like for so long you felt as though you could cum just from this.

you turn around in her arms, straddling her lap as her hands fell to your ass. you moaned out at the object between her legs as you pressed yourself into her. you kissed her neck harshly hoping to leave your marks as she pushed her hips up into yours.

your mind only felt full of natashas, how her hands felt on your hips as you continued to grind against her and kiss her neck.

you move your lips to hers as you start to kiss slowly, you can feel all of the love pour out between you both in this moment. the moment that feels soft and delicate sudden shifts becoming hot and desirable as she pushes her tongue in your mouth.

“you’re so fucking beautiful y/n”

natashas smirk only seems to rail you up as you move your hands to your hoodie, pulling it off over your head. the sight of you has natasha moaning as she moves her hand from your hips and brushes her thumb over your nipple, you can only whimper in need as your hips start moving frantically on top of her.

you lean forward to whisper in her ear. “please just fuck me already”

that was enough for her to pull you back towards her lips, your hand gripping the back of her head to hold her against you as your tongues fought for dominance, you wasn’t giving in until she pulled your hair making your mouth fall open with a moan and pressing herself in to you. it didn’t feel real, the feeling of natashas lips being pressed into yours as you let out whimpers and soft moans of satisfaction. you wanted to please every part of her.

your hands make the same route of your own as you take off her top and throw her it somewhere in the room, you marvel at her for a second taking her all in. she always was beautiful but seeing her like this always felt different. it always surprised you how her skin would feel so soft in spite of years of torture her body had endured. you wanted too kiss every inch of her skin so she knew how beautiful she was.

your hands squeezed her breasts roughly as you move to start marking her chest, the sounds leaving natashas mouth only making you want her to fuck you even more. her thumbs rubbing over your now hardened buds didn’t falter even in the compromising position, you was like putty in her hands. the persistent grinding of your hips down on natashas strap made you not want to waste any more time, the need to fall apart in her arms instant.

natasha flipped you over, laying you down on the couch. taking her own trousers off as you scurried to remove your own. her strap standing tall over her own stomach had you moaning in place. she places her hips against your core slowly grinding into you as she now moves her head to mark your chest. red and purple bruises littered your chest in a seconds. her grinding stops as she moves her kisses down your body towards your core. she looked down to your core and back into your eyes hesitating.

“are you sure you want this”

“yes! now please fuck me!”

your hips lifting towards natashas face joined your words as you begged for her to fuck you. she felt blinded by the smell of your arousal hitting her senses. she decided not to tease, decided you both had waited long enough for this moment.

she licked a line up from your entrance to your clit, a cry spilling from your mouth at finally being touched made both of you go crazy. natasha circled your clit with her tongue holding your hips down as you tried to case your high you was already so close too. her grip never letting up only making you moan in frustration. she couldn’t stop, you tasted addicting.

she slowly inserted a finger in with ease, your body accepting her easily inside of you. your entrance already spilling with your own juices as she starts pumping slowly, a stark contrast from how her tongue was roughly flicking against your clit, taking her finger out and going back in with two she felt your walls clench around her, curling her fingers inside of you. natasha knew she had hit the right spot when a loud cry left your mouth and you begun fucking yourself against her fingers. your orgasm was rising rapidly as she didn’t let up her actions. natshas name constantly falling from your lips over and over.

“fuck tasha gonna cum.”

“not yet okay”

you could only whine in frustration from being denied. she wanted to taste you more, wanted to see how much more worked up you could get from her being inside of you.

“taste so good y/n fuck.”

“oh fucking hell tash”

your moans turning her on even more as your hands gripped her red hair pressing her further into your core as you roughly ground your hips down onto her tongue, the moans leaving natashas mouth just from your sounds and the taste of you sending vibrations straight through to your clit as she continued to flick her tongue and pump her fingers into you faster and faster.

“cum”

and with that it was as if an explosion went off inside of you. your juices leaking from your entrance onto natashas fingers and chin, dripping from you and onto the couch beneath you.

“that’s it baby, good girl”

she continued pumping slowly helping you ride out your high, when she notices you calming down, she slowly leaves you. a whimper falling from your lips at being left empty. she presses a tender kiss to both of your thighs as she feels you relax onto the couch, tension seeping from your body as she makes her way back up to your face leaving soft kisses on her way back up.

the smirk that lays on her face makes you hungry for more, she can see it in your eyes.

once she is back in front of you it doesn’t take natasha long to kiss you once again, you push her to lay back as you straddles her hips, she can feel how wet your core is as you sit on her stomach continuing to kiss her.

your core presses straight into the strap that lays on her stomach. the moan erupting from deep within your throat as you ground your hips down into her. your slick covering natashas strap instantly. her eyes held darkness but innocence as she looked down at the head on the strap pecking out underneath your core.

her breathe catching as you descend slowly, your lips leaving similar marks to hers down her chest towards her strap. natasha lifted her head up to have the perfect view of you as your lips engulfed her and slowly start bopping your head up and down on her. the sight sending her into a wave of arousal at the way your plump lips looked around the tip. she moves to grab your bun as she lifts her hips up making her strap go deep within your throat. the sight making her moan alone aswell as the strap rubbing against her own core.

“you’re really working for it y/n, shit!”

one of your hands gripping the strap as you continued to circle your tongue around the strap.

your other hand coming towards her stomach scratching down leaving red marks. natasha’s moans filling your ears as she never stopped her movements, popping you up and down along her. you held eye contact while you sucked yourself further down, your nose touching her stomach, the noise from your gagging making her want to fuck you with her strap even more had her pulling you back up towards her by your hair.

natasha aligned the strap up to your entrance as she watched you slowly sink down. a pornographic moan slipping from natasha as she watched you sink halfway down before stopping and looking at her for help. she held your hips and lifted herself up while pushing you down as she bottomed out inside of you roughly. your hands flying to her shoulders to steady yourself as she cursed over and over in russian. moans spilling from you at feeling so full of her.

she moved relentlessly inside of you. you was meeting her thrusts halfway as you jumped up and down her cock. her grip never loosening as both continued meeting thrust for thrust.

“fuck, so fucking deep baby” your words and moans sending her even closer to the edge as her strap rubbed perfectly against her.

“you fuck me so good tash. fucckkk- please don’t stop. please don’t stop”

nat leant forwards taking one of your hardened buds into her mouth. circling her tongue over and over as you grounded yourself into her harder. you was rocking back and forth chasing your high that was fast approaching. she could feel your walls clenching around her strap making it harder for her to push into you, the telltale of your second orgasm fast approaching as your breathing got quicker.

“so fucking tight y/n. you’re a fucking dream”

moans continue to spill out of both of your mouths as you continue to bounce on top of her. her hands gripping your hips, most likely to leave bruises in her wake as she ruts into you just as hard.

“y/n, fuckkk. are you close” she heavily breathed out as you kept rocking back and forth. your head nodding against her as she gripped your hips impossibly tighter.

both of your moans were loud throughout the room, nat pulled you closer to her. your foreheads pressing into one another’s as she continued her assault on her core. everything about this moment with natasha didn’t feel real, like you’d wake up in a second and realise it was all a dream. her consistent moaning of your name sounding like music to your ears.

you both felt your own orgasms approaching fast, the strap having been hitting natashas clit at the right angle all throughout fucking into you.

“cum with me!” she all but shouted as you both continued to rut against each other as your orgasms took over you both.

her hips don’t stop thrusting into you as both your own orgasms take over. her loud moan echoing throughout the room, you’re sure you could cum all over again just by the way she sounds. her body shakes underneath you as you slowly collapsed onto her chest. your lips instantly on her neck as you bite into her while you keep breathing deep and hard as you road out your high, her thrusts slowing down letting the calm take over you both.

she nuzzles her self into your neck pressing gentle kisses up and down until she reaches your ear.

“i am madly and deeply in love with you y/n”

“you promise?” your voice sounding small over the seriousness in her tone.

“i promise with all my heart i love you.”

“i love you too natasha.”

as you lay together on top of the couch laying skin to skin, silence settles over you both as you take in each others words. the sincerity of one anothers love you realise, no matter what has happened and no what what happens you will always somehow end up in each others arms again at some point.

roughly 6 years ago i went to a gallery to see an exhibition of old british childrens TV- bagpuss, the clangers, etc. at the same time there was an exhibition of black and white photographs from the 70s of every day things which the photographer correctly predicted would eventually become interesting. in here i came across a photo of a girl standing next to a door in a plain looking room and 14 year old me decided she was the most incredible person id ever seen and i instantly fell in love for the very first time. fast forward to now and i recalled this one evening while procrastinating an assignment at 4am and went hunting through my google photos for the aforementioned incredible girl image because i know id downloaded it and lo and behold it was there. and from there i started scrolling upwards past memories and memories (and horribly cringe stuff id downloaded from tumblr at the time but we ignore that). and there i saw, march 2016, an inexplicable photo of an unopened rare sylvanian family set- the fisher cat family- which id taken on my parents bed. instant confusion. i loved sylvanian families growing up and id recently got back into them, so the moment it was no longer an ungodly hour of the night (id ended up staying up until around 9am) i texted my mum asking if she knew anything. she said she didnt know but shed have a look after she finished her breakfast, that she doesnt remember giving them away, but no promises. and then i heard nothing. i came home from uni that weekend and asked my dad if theyd been found and his non response was immediately suspicious- so they had, then. i was told id ruined the surprise- i thought oh, my mum was waiting to show me herself. oh well, ill just tell her what happened. i tell her and it turns out the surprise in question was 14 years old. the fisher cats were released in the UK in 2009, and they were bought for a christmas or birthday but i never got them because by then id stopped playing with sylvanians, so they were put away to be sold. my mum never sold them- and instead decided to save them for when theyd be appreciated again. shes known about them this whole time. now im 20, im rediscovering my love for sylvanians, and her opportunity has come. shes going away for the entirety of may- my birthday month- and decided theyd be a really nice surprise to leave me. ... that would be if id not, by chance, stumbled across a photo of them from 7 years ago. i cant bring myself to blame the girl in the photo- i have no idea who she is, and shes certainly not to blame for my horrible procrastination. but it did lead me to disappointing my poor mother and crushing her excitement. not that i had any way of knowing, of course. ill see them in a few months and ill be thankful of them while shes away. ill miss her a lot. mum, im sorry.

A Letter To Harry

Dear Harry,

My name is Nunya Business. I just want to take the time out of my life to clue you in on something I had to learn the hardest of ways. If my life lessons can save you the pain and suffering I went through, while indirectly saving the rest of us the pain and suffering from hearing about your pain and suffering, so be it. Let me begin.

You see, Harry, my mom died when I was 25. She was 47. She was bedridden the last ten years of her life. So that means she was permanently confined to a hospital bed for ten solid years, beginning when I was 15. That also means I watched her die slowly for ten years. By the time I was 16, I was trained in wound care management. I was also working 40+ hours a week at a fast-food place and attending school whenever I could. Even though I missed a lot of school, I still carried straight As. I always had great grades in school; I was getting scholarship recruitment letters by the time I was 15. I was brilliant. Still yet, I dropped out of high school by the second day of twelfth grade.

Unlike the traumatic lifestyle of servants and wealth, I was brought up extremely poor. The state paid for our school clothes through clothing vouchers. My dad worked a full-time job from the time he was sixteen until he retired AFTER my mom died. But my mom never held a job, drove a car, got a GED or photo ID, and missed out on a lot of living. So, he was the only source of income until I was old enough to help with the medical bills. He was 18 years older than she was. He only kept working after he reached retirement age because she needed insurance, but I digress. Back to the poor me part of my letter.

Here I was. Sixteen, early into my budding painkiller addiction, working full time, essentially homeschooling myself, taking care of my mother, AND still hoping I could make it out of there. SPOILERS: I DIDN’T MAKE IT OUT OF THERE. You know why? I played the same hand you play now. The poor me, poor me, pour me cards. I started taking my mom’s pain pills for my migraines. One didn’t really go full blown migraine on me one day, and I got high. By the middle of my tenth-grade year, I was having four Percocet tens and a chocolate milk for breakfast. For lunch I had a nap after fighting in and out of nodding off high for the first four periods. Eventually, that drug addiction got insane out of hand. I went from prescription pain killers to shooting heroin within 5 years. I went from never having a detention to having a felony credit card fraud charge and ten years over my head. I didn’t have old money to buy my excuses. I went to prison.

Unlike you, Harry, I wasn’t able to go to immaculate rehabs or have my family bail me out of trouble. I wasn’t able to do hard drugs and become a binger alcoholic behind the scenes, then just “quit” without issue. Something tells me neither were you. I’ve met a ton of addicts and alcoholics. Both say the same. After a month of the same nonsense, the addiction was rooted. So please explain to me how you managed to escape the severities associated with heavy drug use and drinking without withdrawing or getting hooked. Seriously, because you’d be the first person impervious to addiction. Most all of us have to fight the fight of our lives to get and stay clean. I know, I’ve managed almost 6 years now. What about you?

No, like us regular folk, I had to go about sobriety the long, hard route. But of course, it cost waaayy more than you’d ever understand.

Your partying days in Nazi uniforms didn’t cost a thing compared to how much they can cost regular people. By 17, I was already shacked up with a psychopath ten years my senior who literally ended up killing my childhood best friend’s fiancé. Not even exaggerating. My ex killed my ex-best friend’s fiancé in the living room of the house I grew up in, in front of my mom and dad. A month before my mom died, actually. My ex-boyfriend did some major fuck shit to me, and I have a history of dating abusers, but I won’t get into that. Just know 50 Shades isn’t sexy to me and hearing old country music instantly makes my face hurt from getting full beer cans chucked at me… Oh and ya know what, Harry? Turns out if I kept dating psychopaths who hit me… the real problem wasn’t who I was dating. It was ME. But again I digress. Sorry Harry.

I lost my friend who was murdered by my ex at my parents’ home a month before my mother died and two months before I was sent to prison. I struggled with addiction from the time I was 16 until my last relapse 3 July 2015. I dropped out of high school because of my drug addiction, then dropped out of college after getting my GED and a scholarship. 

My mother first introduced me to pain pills. She didn’t realize what she was doing and all, but she just thought she was helping her daughter get through a migraine. I got hooked. I robbed everyone I ever loved and didn’t give two shits about the people I hurt. To this day, I still struggle with caring about people. But again, I digress.

My point is this, Harry. I’ve personally been through fifty times more shit than you have. I watched my mother die slowly over ten years. I watched her gasp for air and cry in the night for God to just take her out of this world so she’d not be in pain anymore. I have lost most everyone I hold near and dear to me simply because I failed to show any self respect, accountability, or acceptance. I didn’t have parents cleaning up my messes with money. I didn’t have castles and privileges to boot when the newspapers ran the stories where I was sentenced to prison. No. I had to face the music and learn the world could fucking care less about how I feel.

Now is time you learn this lesson, too. The world is not fair. What you feel is not important. All that matters is what you do with how you feel. Nobody, and I mean absofuckinglutely NOBODY gives two shits about how you feel; the only reason people watch is because they are nosey. The only reason Oprah makes shows with you is to exploit your story for financial gain, like some type of trauma porn. Your wife isn’t looking out for you if she’s letting you incriminate yourself like that on TV and all, either. I know what you are going through, as I have dated one of those. It didn’t end well for me, and it will not end well for you.

Final note, Harry. Your family in the UK have loved and protected you for your entire life. Everyone accommodated you in your naked billiards in Los Angeles and Calgary. They did more than you could understand. Before it’s too late, and they finally get tired of your repeated bullshit, and trust me Harry, they will… make up with them. If that means ditching the wife, ditch her. Because she’s going to ditch you soon enough.

Trauma isn’t a renewable resource, my love. People are tired of your greatest hits on repeat. Better start the plans to turn that wife into the second act soon or the checks will start bouncing faster than those moon bumps. Oh and another thing, man the fuck up! Everyone has problems. You are not special. You’re not even a spare anymore. You’ve been replaced on all that. So why the hell do you still hold onto your childhood the way you do? Or those titles like you do? Oh you must be a masochist. You must like it.

Sincerely,

Nunya Business

Heyyyoooo beloved!

Totally not relevant, never go to South Africa, we have loadshedding, which means no electricity for 4-6 hours a day🙂

So that got me thinking for tiny workers au and what would happen if there was a blackout or like natural disasters, idk hoe many the UK has but the USA has so many tornados and earthquakes, to the tinies get their own little bunker, tornados would absolutely annihilate groups of them id think,

No electricity, would maybe cause them to close down and shenigans to borrow food the old way arises or smt

Totally no that orginal or crucial to the worldbuilding, im just lamenting my problems onto this ask, so don't take this too seriously 😂im just bored 😜

hello!!!! ALSO btw what do i call you i've never said your name in asks and because i'm updating my tags i need a shorter name from you!! i'm assuming like graci but i can never be too sure,,

oh jeeez that sounds so annoying !!! the phone addict in me does not like that--

mm thoughts from irl are the best cause then whenever you see that thing again you instantly think of when you had that idea :D

oh my god YES i LOVE that

since i'm in the us i had to look up uk stuff and i found out that hurricanes cannot form but tornadoes and earthquakes dooo so absolutely they'd need a bunker. and who better to build one than TUBBO!!! he popped in my mind right away when i read bunker :D

and holy shit them having to resort to borrowing? I LOVE YOU THESE ARE THE THOUGHTS EVER!! i mean like in a tornado it'd be so tricky!! the winds definitely would be fighting 24/7 against them so they can't exactly go outside easier. i say they borrow food before the thing happens. i have a hc that benchtrio stole a phone with quackity from the lost and found so they have access to a lot of things ft. tubbo's technology skills (how he got them we'll never know). some of those things are access to the news. so they knew ahead of time.

the borrowing comes in play because they haven't told boss about the bunker (on occasions they'll go down there and hang out and they do not want boss ever finding about it cause who knows what he'll do it it) and instead made a collective excuse about going to their humans house for the time being. he was salty about it bc he got no money in return so they rlly don't want to run into him again and especially not while getting food so they can stay on the property.

they also steal stuff from the dnd area like costumes that were made during the dsmp campaign and then go to the gift shop and take even more stuff so they can't get bored w/o their phones (they use it a lot. all of their phones are dead within the first two hours of the day,,) but nobody needs to know that :)

nono this is very crucial to the timeline !! this au is purely just thoughts like if i ever write things for it there is probably not going to be a chronological series like ever,,,,
