#if anybody like gross things i can show you pics of this really bad skin infection i had

[sniperdadmaccready]

man. i couldn't be a ghoul because I'd have too much fun peeling my skin off

[typicalhippiegirl]

Let's talk about something.

First off, I'm not putting this messed up, peely, gross looking tattoo up for anyone to judge (I'm not happy with it either). I'm putting this out there to help others learn from my mistakes & hopefully prevent them from going thru what I've been dealing with.

There's a tattoo expo coming to town with featured artists from out of town. I find one thru IG whose work looks clean & I like her style so I DM her about setting an appt. Shes got time this weekend yay! no waiting for the expo. -Do you see the mistakes I made already? It's so obvious to me now😓

Saturday's here, I head to the shop (for the first time) for the appointment & the moment I walk in it's like Uh, wtf? Half the shop is taped off & in the middle of a remodel (no dust or active working, just shit all moved around). I brush it off, theyre getting things ready for an expo right? They need people tattooing there, not playing pool so ya, no wonder it's a bit messy.

Next she shows me the stencil and its fuckin huge. Like I specifically said between 6-8 inches max bc it's going on my forearm & i'm not Stretch Armstrong. Shes like Oh I kept it between 8 & 10. Well ya didn't fuckin listen bc what woman has arms that long? So it's resized & idk what we were casually talking about but she def rolled her eyes at me. Look man, I'm a pretty easy going person and depending on the situation I may take a slight without saying shit. Also like low self confidence helps with that right? So anyway, at the point I should have been like Alright dude, we're not really clickin & I'm not feelin this anymore & walked TF out. I didnt. Like an idiot. I'm not gonna lie, part of it was losing put on the deposit the other part was just me telling myself it would be fine despite in my heart of hearts I knew it wasn't.

So we start. Yo, she's a Fuckin. Bitch. I wanted a theme right, this chick is supposed to be a Texas pinup, I wanted certain colors in her clothes. I asked "What colors are we thinking for her?" She actually scoffed and says "These ones" while motioning at her cups. Wow. Ok, well, fuck I don't want to ask her anything anymore so I shutup & go with it.

This shit HURTS. I'm not a pussy when it comes to pain. I have several tattoos, including fingers, toes and a whale that was particularly painful because it goes directly over my very bony shin. I've been cut, I've had a baby without drugs. Mags remind me of getting a razor cut and I find pleasure in the feeling. I can tolerate some pain and this shit sucked. Yo, at the end she switched down to a single needle and that was KILLER. I felt like I was being carved into (which, if you'd ever seen my back you'd know, I know the feeling).

Alright so finally we're finished & I roll into the next day. I'm a bit worried about the appearance and not just bc she looks like she broke her leg. It looks wet. I continue my aftercare as normal: antibac soap & aquaphor. Day 2 I'm researching infections bc it's super painful, red but mostly it's wet. I'm afraid of infection also bc this chick had the trash can right next to the station. I mean Right. Fuckin. Next to it. To the point that the trashcan lid fell onto the pad where my arm is. I want to ask her to move it but she's in such a bad mood I think it'll just make things worse & she'll be even rougher. By day 3 I've tried antibac goo & it seems to make my skin bubble where its been applied so I quickly quit using that. My arm hurts so badly at this point I cant put it down without getting shooting pains up my arm. I let it dry out so things are crusty but at least I don't find them medically disturbing. Regardless, I spend a lot of this day crying. Day 4 I'm still researching infection and come across overworked tattoos, scars & "hamburgering" My heart pretty much drops bc this is it, this is what's going on. What's even more fucked up is that I find this on forums for people learning to tattoo. Like apprentice's first few tattoos having this problem. Rookie shit, ya hear?😑

The pictures are from day 5. You can see splitting along the black lines, there's holes in the sun & near her belt. Oh and that's a thing. The hole is the sun is bc somehow a drop of green got in there so she went over it and over it and over it again with more red. Can you imagine my frustration at that point?

So look, I got this done Saturday, here it is Friday. My skin is very shiny and puckery where the peeling has come off. The scabs are thick af, I've only been moisturizing the places safe to so as of today almost everything but the cactus. Did I mention my arm still really hurts? I can't straighten it, there's pains that shoot out from the center, and why why why is my bicep sore?! I'm really worried about how the cactus is going to turn out. My skin looks bumpy between the cracks of scab. I think she used a crappy cheap green. I'm really left wondering about her experience as a tattoo artist. I'm just saying: My first tattoo was done by a scratcher in a dirty apartment bedroom. He did such a shitty job that I took the machine from him & finished it myself. Might I mention I was 16 and completely coked out of my mind? Also, I didn't hamburger myself and there was no scarring over that disaster of a tattoo (which thankfully no longer exists thanks to the aforementioned painful whale)

This whole thing has fuckin sucked. I don't want anybody else dealing with this. Let me outline some things I should have done differently so if you find yourself in the same situation you can make better decisions than I did.

1. If you're looking on IG for an artist make sure they also post healed pics not just fresh ones.

2. If you're not vibing with your artist it's ok so call it off. Look, a 60$ deposit aint shit to lose in the grand scheme of things, can you get a cover up for 60$? How about bad work or a bad experience lasered off? You can't get those deals, oh who knew? Sometimes losing money is saving it.

3. Don't get shit from travelling artists. Maybe they woke up a 3am & drove 8 hours & now they don't give a shit about anything but going home.

4. If the shop doesn't look great, walk out. Again, whats 60$ compared to your health and happiness?

This is a long post & it's not something I usually post about (lol who am I kidding? Personal tragedies are kinda my thing). It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed how she came out, I'm embarrassed I didn't speak up, I'm embarrassed I didn't just go to the person I knew could give me a good tattoo. It wasn't even about money, I didn't get a deal on this pinup mess. All I can do is move on. Thank goodness this wasn't my first piece or I may have been totally turned off from getting anymore ink. Now all I can do is continue my aftercare, hope for the best and when the time comes I'll go visit Vinny at American Tradition and get something else on the backside of my arm to distract from this mess.

Much love my inked up friends❤

Hey and if this speaks to you like you've been in this situation or are currently in it, feel free to DM me.

[familiaanteomnia]

all the things for the get to know the mun meme !

¯\_(ツ)_/¯:  do you have any tumblr friends? if so, who are they?: A few? I guess it’s a loaded topic cause I’m not sure what qualifies/who is like ‘oh yeah that idiot over there’s my friend’. Naming names seems extreme. But I bet the guilty parties know who they are. 2 of which have literally put up with me for years now. 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°):  relationship status?: Single, an fool with no dating savvy. Consider testing my luck on apps for lols occasionally though. 

ಠ_ಠ:  what is your biggest pet peeve?: There’s a few but I’m generally pretty too chill. Like if somebody’s doing something I find annoying generally I’m like ‘-’ 

(ಥ_ಥ):  finish this: i hate it when…: I hate it when people think they’re opted out of being gross, or hateful just because they’re lgbt+. That popular posters in fandoms tend to be all ‘wow I’m Woke’ but fill the tags with gross content. And I should get paid for it because wow then I’d be able to live a great life, donate to good causes,etc. 

Like the sheer amount of times I literally have seen ‘I’m a wlw so its fine if I really sexualize mlms, trans men’ is- scary. Not to mention the ones who are all ‘I mean but like is the f slur really that bad?’. Like basically can people respect each other??? Or could I at least make money for their gross behavior- to at least like fund people’s transitions,etc. 

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ:  what is your favorite animal?: I have to pick.. Beta fish; emotionally speaking fish mean a lot to me. Otherwise I like cats, dogs, eucalyptus parrots. 

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜):  who is someone you can tell everything to?: Nobody, I’m not good at human interaction/feel very limited in confiding because a fair amount of everything around me’s so messed up and I’ve hurt people even vaguely mentioning it cause it’s like ‘oh shit that’s messed up’. 

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ:  are you a hugger?: Depends. Like I’d totally love hugs if I was initiating them/certain people and same with just like sprawling across a lap like ‘look I’m cuuute fight me’. Because I’m touch starved; somebody give me basic affection. I’d like to be but also I’ve had hugs, touch used as manipulation tactics. Not in the way people would think either. 

Like then other factors but I take comfort in one armed hugs where possible. But goal ideally at some point I’m certainly going to be like ‘I offer and receive affection fight me- platonically especially screw ‘traditional’ nonsense’ 

(╯°□°)╯︵ ʞooqǝɔɐɟ:  besides tumblr, do you have any other social media?: Depends what classifies. I’ve got a newish fb for my future. Meaning to start i.nsta up for real (I like taking dumb pics even if I don’t have a fancy camera available/phone camera that’s decent). Then just like various this or that. Meaning to start up a yt. Got d.iscord though I rarely use it. 

﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿?:  how old are you?: Almost 19 which like honestly given I’ve had to be the adult in rooms, most my life and things- feels more like going on late twenties. Plus nobody ever interacts with me like ‘oh wow you’re not that old’ because of it. Though I certainly look 19 most likely cause I got hormonally screwed for now. 

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻:  what are your thoughts on school?: Education, learning and growing is important. However there is plenty flaws in the system at times. But most of all I hate the attitude society can have about it, about ‘drop outs’ . There’s this assumption I’m never going to live any sort of life, that I must have stopped attending for stupid reasons. Cause high school is easy, online school too right? There’s that option. 

That I can’t learn things, cause if you’re not in school/with some stupid piece of paper saying ‘you tested well congrats’ you’re adverse to learning. Not educated. Like I had lost my ability to even pass, or do anything. Mentally I was in a whole sort of other hell that nobody should ever know. I’ve got literal amnesia from how depressed I was. That while being told to absorb new information, trying but I couldn’t was hell. 

The terrifying thought of the crowded graduation ceremony, hearing the name that made my skin crawl and yet another dumb piece of paper with that printed on it? Didn’t help. I think it can be lovely, that people certainly need to learn things and have that. That I admire people who pull through it/willingly go through intensive college,etc. Personally I’ll do my ged when I’m in a better place, or something but I chose life/hope to get better then and I still am putting getting better first. 

| (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍ʋ):  favorite tv show?: I have too many tbh. S.hadowhunters, T.ua, Tales Of The C.ity *the new n.etflix show*, n.bc’s Constantine, Faking I.t, F.ringe, s.yfy’s Almost H.uman, B.elieve *whatever network did it*, just to name a few. 

(ง'̀-‘́)ง:  are you okay?: Not really- working on it though so like it’s whatever

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:  ･ﾟ✧: sexual orientation?: I’d jokingly say complicated but.. Gay, asexual. I really really like guys and well details aren’t necessary in the latter department but the sexy isn’t appealing to me. It’s just like ‘meh’ literally. 

┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴:  are you a people person or a loner?: Loner, though I’m also a people person want to be/tend to be by accident? Supposedly I have an attractive personality. I’ve always had people, kids just chat at me even if I didn’t know them,etc. I can be sitting grumpily in a corner and an old lady is like ‘do you perhaps know the time’ instead of to anybody else. Etc. Honestly it’s a ? type of situation/answer. But I do best with myself/prefer my mediocre company to like challenging my anxiety,etc for sure.

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ):  do you have any siblings?: Two brothers, one sister. And I’m the second oldest but truthfully basically the eldest.  Really complicated relationships. The eldest, I actually literally refuse to interact with most the time. Because of all the abuse and stuff that happened. Like even after apologizing, supposedly feeling bad- still screws me over at times. 

ಠ╭╮ಠ:  have you ever self harmed?: Big time, I’m clean now for the most part because I mean technically anything harmful to you done purposely,etc counts as it… But like yeah for years it was terrible and sometimes I still get the urges,etc. Like I’m recovered generally to a point it’s like ‘oh wow I don’t know how long its been since I was doing that, when I last did it’. 

(づ￣ ³￣)づ:  have you ever been in love?: Well that version of thinking you are when you’re young. Or trying to convince yourself that you are. So I guess. But on the other hand not really.

(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞:  would you rather be hugged by a bunny or kissed by a doe?: Hugged by a bunny, I mean both sound adorable but I’ve had a bunny rest its head on my knee before so like that speaks for itself. 

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻:  how do you let your anger out?: I usually don’t? Like whats a coping mechanism for 100? I’ve seen too much anger issues so generally, also being soft spoken I really don’t act. Venting into the void be it a mental health app, or some blog usually does the trick. Or listening to music, writing it into poems,etc. 

ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ:  are you active?: Not really, I want to be/for the right reasons at some point for sure. For now it’s usually sporadic like ‘eh I guess I can do a few things health! yay!’ 

ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪:  what are your favorite band(s)/artist(s)?: Sooo many… C.OIN, Mother M.other, W.eareskydive, Seth C.orbin, M.allrat, L D.evine, The L.umineers, L.IGHTS, A.nna Clendening, B.astille, The R.egrettes, A.JR, F.LETCHER, W.rabel, G.erard Way/M.CR. Cavetown. Ryan A.rmdor. T.ransviolet.  E.DEN. Classic rock artists… the list goes on for ages. 

（╯°□°）╯︵(\ .o.)\:  who is your least favorite person?: Real life? Online? Celebrities? Can’t pick, don’t feel can single just 1 person out regardless/bit cruel to have somebody top that list alone.

♥‿♥:  tell us about your crush!: uwu I don’t have one currently

◔̯◔:  what time is it?: 8:54 PM

◕‿◕:  what is your guilty pleasure?: Frosting with pretzels? Lots of salt. Junk food. Dancing around like an idiot to music. 

◔ ⌣ ◔:  are you a virgin?: Okay so I don’t quite believe in all the ‘virgin’ ‘first this or that’ nonsense cause like? Not going to go there but what is the clarification honestly… But yeah I’ve not done anything with anybody. Or kissed somebody just yet and that’s okay. Hell with the sexual crap it’s like bliss for me because also people can be so uneducated,etc like phew no worries for me in that department.

.needles and human kisses

A/N: This is for @ladyaudentium who drew me a pic of happy dark gray with baby Jax! Sorry if this sucks, I originally was trying to write a drabble but then my brain decided to run with it lol. 

Dark Gray AU + A budding friendship between Sam and Val. Warnings: A little bit of language

Sam almost knocked, then hesitated, and then almost knocked again. She huffed. This shouldn’t be that hard.

Valerie now was way different from the Valerie she used to know, at least, that’s what she kept telling herself as she pulled into the driveway of Valerie’s beach house.

And speaking of beach houses, holy shit, Valerie’s was huge. With two stories and a crazy wrap around porch, the house contained three bathrooms, four bedrooms, a basement that Sam vaguely remembers being filled with liquor from her high school days, and a hot tub in the back that most of the football team lost their virginity in.

Sam sighed and the salty wind brushed past her and played with the end her lab coat. It’s not hard to knock. And Valerie called her, so that means she wanted her to come over. So why, why, why-?

Valerie swung open the door and sighed in relief. She pulled the scientist into a tight hug. “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.”

When Valerie let her go, Sam took a chance to look her up and down. Valerie was still curvy and pretty and rich to boot, but with her hair in a messy bun, no makeup on her face and her outfit being composed of an old Casper High t-shirt and shorts, she almost looked…middle class.

“I didn’t think you would come,” said Valerie as she brought Sam inside. “Just, y’know, after high school and not really being…nice to you or Fenton.”

Sam readjusted the bag on her shoulder. “Well, I’m not gonna deny someone who’s in need.” Sam looked around the living room for signs of the rare gecko that Valerie said she needed to be tested. “Where is it, by the way?”

Valerie made a face. “Okay, what if, hypothetically, the gecko was not a gecko?”

Sam frowned. “Don’t tell me you called me about a dog.” Tucker had done that to her more times than she could count.

Valerie let out a funny laugh. “Well, it’s not a dog either.”

“Then what is it?”

Valerie motioned for her to follow her and Sam complied. They went up the stairs and down the hall to the bathroom at the end. Valerie placed her hand on the knob. “Alright, don’t freak out,” she warned.

Valerie swung the door open. “Holy shit,” said Sam.

“I told you not to freak out!”

“Holy shit!”

In Valerie’s bathtub was a merman. And not some weirdo in a costume either, a real, live actual merman whose big ass tail hung over the rim of the tub, allowing water to drip all over the linoleum floor.

“Valerie,” he said, baritone voice going through one of Sam’s ears and out the other, “you should’ve told me were expecting guests. I would’ve put on a shirt.”

Sam gawked at him. “This has to be a dream.”

“Well, it isn’t,” said Valerie as she got down on her knees and reached behind the merman’s head to turn on the cold water. Part of his tail had grown crusty, and he was looking pale, or rather, as pale as one could with blue skin. Two clear indicators that he needed more water. “Sadly, this is one hundred percent real.”

The merman frowned, his fin beating defiantly against the tub. “Sadly? I’ll have you know that most people would be begging for something this awe-inspiring to happen to them.”

“Oh really?” Valerie stopped the water just as it reached the rim of the tub. “Well I bet sixty percent of those people would either eat you or dissect you for science in a heartbeat.”

He opened his mouth to protest, but closed it once he realized he was fighting a losing battle.

“What’s your name?” asked Sam as she gripped at the strap of her bag.

“Dan,” he said as he tilted his head slightly to avoid the water getting in his face.

“Dan,” she pondered on it for a moment. “Huh. Doesn’t sound very aquatic.”

The end of his tail flipped up in irritation. “What the hell were you expecting? Ariel?”

Sam blinked. “D-Did you show him The Little Mermaid? Of all things?”

“Hey, in my defense, he’s very annoying when he gets bored and my tablet is waterproof,” she said as she pulled back, her hand getting caught in Dan’s wet locks. They were slightly slimy, probably from the natural mucus that coated his body. It was one of the many, many, many gross things that she’d learned about his body over the past two weeks. “Also, he was very curious,” she said as she wiped her hand on her leg, not caring that it was going to be crusty later.

“And,” chimed in Dan, “I am very offended by what you idiot humans think of merpeople.”

“Well, today’s your lucky day,” said Valerie as she heaved herself up, “ ‘Cause Sam isn’t an idiot human, she’s a super awesome scientist who’s gonna help you with your tail.”

Sam gulped. “Uh, Valerie, I’ve never really worked with mermaids before.”

“Well, you were killer in Anatomy, so just combine a fish and a human and just roll with it,” said Valerie simply.

Sam frowned. “I don’t think that’s how that works.”

Dan huffed. “I don’t care what you have to do as long as you can get me out this damn tub.”

“He’s injured,” explained Valerie. As if that were his cue, Dan lifted up his tail to show off as much of his wound as he could without hurting himself. Sam was able to catch a glimpse of the chunk of missing tail, the white fat and pink muscle puffy and slightly red.  “I was hoping you could do something, like test his blood and make mermaid Neosporin or something?”

“Test my blood?” Dan flicked his fin. “That sounds like it involves something sharp.”

“It may or may not involve a needle.”

Each one of Dan’s iridescent scales shivered in a wave-like fashion before his fear finally traveled up his spine. He attempted to stuff himself into the bathtub, getting water all over the place in the process. “No. No, no, no-.”

Valerie groaned. “Good God, it’s not a fish hook!”

“If it pokes then it’s a fish hook to me!” he hissed.

Sam cast Valerie a look. “Is he afraid of needles?”

“Yes, even though he shouldn’t be because he has two rows of friggin’ razor sharp teeth!”

“My teeth and sharp objects are two different things!”

"Well, that's the only way I can get blood," explained Sam.

Dan crossed his arms and sunk into the bathtub, sloshing more water everywhere. At this rate, Valerie was going to be paying at least two grand a month on her water bill alone.

"Then I guess I'm never getting healed and I'll die in this stupid bathtub," he hissed.

Valerie sighed. "I'll hold your hand." Another thing Valerie discovered was that Dan was incredibly touchy. He liked to latch onto her, play with her hair, even hold her hand if she allowed it. When asked if all merpeople were like that, he simply dodged the question.

Dan's brows jumped. "I thought you said my hands were too cold."

"Your whole body is cold," she said, "but if holding your hand will get you through this thing then so be it."

Dan slipped his hand out of the water and latched onto Valerie's. She fought the urge to shiver and pull away. "Fine,” he said, “but I want a human kiss later.”

Sam looked at Valerie for an explanation of a “human kiss”, but all she got was a soft shake of the head. “Maybe, if you’re good,” she said.

Dan nodded and turned to Sam. “Stab me.”

Sam turned toward her bag and pulling out a vial and syringe. Valerie could feel Dan's grip tighten on her hand as he watched her clean the needle.

"Hey," said Valerie. "Look at me."

Dan turned to her, a bit of fear in his eye. It was weird, seeing him like this, almost childlike and pouty; so different from the haughty merman she had found stranded on the beach.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Sam was about to draw his blood. She needed to keep his attention. "Hey, wanna hear a human secret?"

The ends of his fin stood up in the air. "Secret?"

"Yeah. It's the reason we even formed a system of government and some say it will be our downfall and destroy all of mankind."

Dan rose a brow as Sam found his vein. "Really?" He leaned in slightly. "Tell me."

"Barbeque sauce."

Dan blinked. "What the fuck is barbe- Ow!" He cast Sam a dirty look as she took the blood.

"Sorry!" she said as she watched the vial fill up.

He turned back to Valerie, baring his teeth at her. "You did that on purpose."

"Yeah, it's called a distraction, sweetie."

Dan death gripped her hand until Sam was done. When she finally pulled out the needle and bandaged his arm, he let go, leaving Valerie's hand coated in slime. She wiped her hand on her pants.

"I think this should be enough," said Sam as she filled the vial and screwed it shut. She slipped it into her bag for safe keeping. "I'll call you if I find out anything."

"I'm going to walk her to the door," said Valerie. She glared at him like a mother reprimanding her children. "Do not try to leave this tub."

"Aye, aye, captain," he said, fingers messing with the bandage on his arm.

Valerie shut the door behind them and they went down the stairs together. "So, ‘human kiss’ ?”

Valerie groaned. “He thinks they’re special. Apparently, mermaids don’t kiss for romantic reasons, they kiss to bite each other’s tongues off.”

Sam’s nose scrunched up. “Gross.”

“He said it shows dominance.”

“Double gross.”

Valerie smiled. “I know right?”

Sam sighed wistfully as they reached the bottom step. This weird visit to Valerie’s wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be.  "I just- I can't believe you found a mermaid. Like an actual mermaid.” She scoffed. “My coworkers are gonna flip-."

Valerie covered Sam's mouth with her hand. "No. You are not allowed to tell anybody about this. Even Danny. Got it?"

Sam nodded and Valerie moved her hand away. "Well, I'm gonna have to tell them something when I test this blood at the lab tonight," explained Sam.

Valerie pushed back her hair, only for her curls to fall right back into her face. "Tell them it's a super rare fish or something. Just please don't tell them about Dan. He's caused me enough trouble."

Sam nodded as she reached the door. "Alright. And hey, for the record, you really should get Dan outta that tub. Him swimming around might actually help him heal up a bit."

"So you want me to lug his big ass down to my pool? What if my neighbors see?"

"That's why you do it at night." Sam reached for the handle of the front door. "And if it really is a hassle getting him out of the house, then I can help you if you really need me to."

Valerie gawked at her. "Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, it's not like we're in high school anymore," said Sam.

Valerie almost pondered on the thought, but a crash upstairs interrupted her thoughts. Sam snickered. “I guess he’s getting impatient for his ‘human kiss’.”

“That fishy fucker,” growled Valerie as she bounded up the stairs.

Sam giggled as she closed the door. This was definitely not a regular visit.

+Bonus!

She bounded up the stairs, praying to God that Dan hadn't broken the tub or worse.

When she opened the bathroom door, she found him in the bath, ripped shower curtain in hand and the metal bar on the ground. "I didn't try to leave."

Valerie placed her hands on her hips. "Then what happened?”

"My tail knocked into it," he explained. "I was being good."

Valerie sighed and bent down to pick up the bar. "Of course you were."

He beat his fin against the tub. "And since I was so good, I think I deserve my human kiss now," he said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Why do you have to call it a human kiss?" said Valerie. "Just call it a kiss."

"Because it's different from my kiss," he said.

Valerie adjusted the bar as she placed it back. "Uh..."

He beat his tail again. "Just one. Please?" he begged.

"Jeez, fine." She kneeled down beside the tub and braced her arm against the other side. "Just...don't do anything weird."

She leaned in close and Dan grabbed onto the back of her shirt, pulling her down toward him. He was eager; pressing his lips against hers as soon as he could reach them. His lips felt slick and cold, sending shivers down her spine. She could feel his tongue- maybe tongues? -against hers as she relaxed into the kiss.

He reached up, putting his hand in her hair like he saw humans do in the movies he'd watch on Valerie's tablet. He liked the way her mouth felt, warm and wet. A happy sound escaped him, and he wanted more.

Valerie pulled away, her lips wet with saliva. Dan hummed and beat his fin against the tub. "I like your mouth," he said, grinning. "Again?"

Valerie stood up, her face flushed. "Maybe later."

Cutie Reviews: NMNL August 2018

If this actually gets posted then I’ll scream because since the start of the new year Tumblr has been giving me problems. If you read the blog then you know. Anytime I try to post a blog with images it doesn’t seem to want to post them and claimed it contained adult content??

My friend told me this was a glitch other people were having because of Tumblr changing something? I don’t know, but I tried to post this like 3 times, then finally contacted them on the problem and they said they would review my post and let it show up on the blog if it was approved.... that was probably a month ago now. If it didn’t work this time then I was going to just have to post with no images, or I have to monitor my images more closely for any incidental thing they might think is inappropriate.

I’m hoping it doesn’t keep happening because I’m extremely backed up now.

(During this ordeal, I had Mao to help me get through it. She’s an official i-Bloom squishy, my very first I think! She smells like blueberry~)

Recognize this?

I sure do, because I got this in the prior NMNL box. This is a bonus item I got because my last one was broken, I contacted them on it and they sent me a new one... 

Unfortunately, this one is broken too. Pretty much in the exact same way. I don’t know why or how it happened when it’s factory sealed, and I handle it carefully. But somehow it did, and this one is even in worse shape. I considered just throwing it away, but I decided not to contact them again on it considering it was free this time.

Anyway, this won’t be reviewed because I already did that. Let’s cut to this months items!

Exfoliating Bubble Pack

Useful during summer or any time of the year when your nose needs some healing from sunny weather or chilly winds, this creamy pack will help remove the germs, old skin, and dirt from those tired pores in a few easy steps.

It also has a refreshing citrus scent... or it’s made from oranges? Maybe both? I couldn’t tell exactly what the package is trying to say.

All you do is put some product on your hand, or directly nose, then rub it in. The longer it’s left on the more it’ll foam up, and within minutes it will start tingling as it gets to work. Then you swirl your finger around on the spots to lessen the foam and remove the germs and dead skin.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Initially when I tried this out I wasn’t impressed by the product- but I noticed the more you use, the more effective it is. I tried it again and this time used a lot more, then over a minute or two it began to foam up. I also noticed it works on the hands and cheek. But the tube is so small that because you need so much to make it work, it’s not worth doing it on anything but your nose.

The tingly feeling is weird and tickles a lot~ My nose feels smooth and soft after using it though x3

Angelite U Eyeliner

Our next item is this cute brown eyeliner made by KOJI. It’s fine point tip and waterproof claims make it desirable for getting through tears, sweat, and maybe sudden downpours.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

First I’d like to take a second to thank whoever designs these packages. They’re gorgeous~ and ultra-sparkly!

Anyway, as much as I enjoy my little collection of eye liner I kind of got tired of them after a while. I just can’t use it, no matter how much I practice. They pretty much just sit there to look pretty. However, I did notice a few little things about this particular one.

The product when applied is very dark brown, almost bordering on black. But when I went to remove it, it actually looks light brown. Oddly enough, the packaging also said to use warm water for easy removal, but I used cold and it came off fine. But I also noticed if you applied a lot of it then you needed the warm or hot, so they’re not exactly wrong.

Puffy Bubble Foam Face Mask

This is the next item, a foamy face wash that goes hand-in-hand with the exfoliating pack. It has a scent, although it doesn’t list one and I couldn’t identify it. It isn’t a bad scent though, and it’s pretty light.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

It’s okay, but honestly I wasn’t very impressed by it. It does the job, but I don’t really understand the name, because unless I just used too-little or too much, nothing really happened to make it stand out to me. Usually my face wash products get soapy and foamy, and they’re usually thinner than this. I mean it’s possible I did something wrong so I didn’t get the full effect, but usually these are pretty straightforward.

Setouchi Lemon Bath Salt

Our next item is this cute-looking bath salt that uses the juice of real lemons from Setouchi Japan. Not only will they refresh your mood with it’s bright scent, but it’ll leave you feeling radiant~

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Oddly enough, to me the scent is very artificial, based on the lemon scents I’m used to. It’s not a bad smell, but it kind of reminds me of something you’d get from the dollar store or something and it’s a tiny-bit unpleasant to me.

However, the product itself is nice. The scent is more appealing to me after using it and having it on my skin, and it made it feel really soft~ I even think it brightened it a little!

Exfoliation Foot Mask

(I had images, but for safety reasons I decided not to include them- maybe they think feet are inappropriate.)

Our final item is a exfoliation mask- for your feet! It’s made out of Argan oil and hyaluronic acid, along with 19 other natural botanical ingredients. It’s made to wear for an hour, then you remove the product and over a week of time the skin will slowly begin peeling away, a process that can last up to two weeks depending on your skin and how much you peel it.

It also has a peach or apricot scent, although I couldn’t exactly identify it, it did smell good.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I love this! At first I was kind of nervous about a skin peeling product because I never used one before, but I tried it out and waited, and soon I noticed the foot skin beginning to loosen or sort of... bubble in a few spots and turn into pockets of skin to be peeled.

I’m so sorry if that grossed out anybody. But despite how weird it sounds, it was actually satisfying to me to peel the old skin away. It definitely softened my heel and a few other spots in need of some healing, and the effects from it lasted for probably the whole month. By now my feet are mostly back to normal again.

This would be my recommendation product of the whole box~ It might seem weird or a little scary, but it’s painless and very easy.

~Cutie Ranking~

Quality/Pricing - 3 out of 5. I want to count the eye shadow crayon but I decided not to since it was free. The rest of the items work fine/very well, but I kind of feel like we paid a tiny-bit much for 2 one-use items, a tiny bottle, a big bottle of face wash that barely did anything, and eyeliner.

Content - 3.5 out of 5. I like the items, but I really wish we could have the sizes of the exfoliation stuff and face wash swapped. Or maybe two uses out of the lemon bath salt or foot mask.

Total Rank: 6.5 out of 10 Cuties. I didn’t really see an apparent theme, so I didn’t include that. I thought this box was okay or so-so, I’m not sure if I was hung-up over the tiny details or if it’s just because I really liked the previous one. I had high expectations. The saving grace of the box was definitely the foot mask, the exfoliating nose stuff, and maybe the eyeliner if you actually use it.

~Cutie Scale~

1. Lemon Bath Salt - Lemon’s make everything look so vibrant and sweet, and I loved this packaging! Even if the scent of the salt is a bit meh to me, it’s not the worst thing I ever smelled.

2. Angelite U Eyeliner - As simple as the stick is, I love the fancy and detailed packaging design. It looks so dreamy cute~

3. Foot Mask - I like the mixture of pink and chartreuse on the packaging, I’d never have thought to combine them like they did (again sorry there’s no pic).

4.Exfoliating Bubble Pack - I like pop art inspired designs and thought the packaging was fun to look at. It’s actually pretty fun to use too!

5. Face Mask - It’s really plain DX there’s nothing special about it.

Okay Cuties, so next up was supposed to be my Kira Kira crate, but I actually ended up getting my December Gacha Gacha box, and during my time trying to post this, I got the remade NMNL and wanted a good, early review on that... so I’ll be doing those, then getting back on schedule.

Until then, stay cute!
