Nieves and Alejo

Their relationship came about near the end of 2014, Alejo was 18 and Nieves was 20. It was only a few months after Jenifer had broken up with him. Since Alejo turned 18 he was able to go out more, because it was now legal for him to go to clubs and bars, and thats how he met Nieves... kind of. Through meeting new people and being invited to more places, Alejo and Nieves met at a house party held by a mutual friend, or acquaintance, or whatever. (They both knew a lot of people, not necessarily friends, just connections I suppose.)

Nieves is confident and totally unafraid to express herself whether it be though her fashion or through her words. She loved partying almost as much as she loved dressing up, and those parties were the most frequent places anyone could find her. Her personality was funny, witty and charming, and she could make almost anybody feel comfortable around her, hence how she had so many friends. She also received a lot of attention from people who wanted to get with her, romantically or just for the night. She was picky about who she chose to let flirt with her, and despite what a lot of people thought of her, she didn't ever want to have any one-night stands. If she was going to ever submit herself to a boyfriend or girlfriend, she wanted them to be special. Somehow, that's what she seemed to have found in Alejo. She thought that he matched her humour very well, and he had similar ideas of fun, as well as a similar fashion and music taste. If their relationship could be described in one word, it would be adrenaline, the exciting kind.

Just because they partied often isn't to say that they didn't also have their more relaxed, domestic moments, it was just the highlight of their time together. It was, after all, Nieves' favourite pastime, and since Alejo suddenly had all the more freedom to do what he wanted, it might have gone to his head a little bit. Perhaps it was even a distraction for him, but that's for a different post. He sort of admired Nieves in a way. She was so carefree and he wanted to feel that way too, which she helped him with. She encouraged his self-expression a lot and so during this time people would notice that Alejo's outfits were sometimes more detailed or that he would experiment with things like eyeliner and different hairstyles. This was all good stuff, of course, since Alejo had honestly never felt happier about how he looked. In these ways, Nieves was a good influence on him by making him feel more confident etc. She was less of a good influence when it came to regulating things like alcohol intake, among some other substances. She enabled Alejo's over the top behaviours, which even went on to affect other people, like Agustín. Nieves thought that just because she could maintain this sort of lifestyle, anyone else could. She never really imagined that it could go wrong, because to her it was all just fun. To Alejo it was fun, at first. But again, potentially a distraction.

They broke up because of stupid reasons, such as pointless arguments and things like that. It was hard to keep their relationship stable if one or both of them had their emotions heightened so often from being under the influence. They broke up in 2015.

Why do people cringe at their old art. genuinely. i'm going through my art from 2015 and all i can do is go aww. even at some 'bad takes'. my drawings weren't great, but oh my god were they adorable.

Also it's very cute to see a young queer me who didn't know it, draw 'yaoi' and sometimes 'yuri' (self-proclaimed at the time. didn't have to be about anime). it's cute how i didn't yet fear ship art, even same-sex. this was right before some classmates opened my sketchbook without my consent while i wasn't there and caught a gay wedding full on display. Since then, my ship art became subtle, only delegated to maybe some blushes.

And then, it disappeared.

I miss how young me wasn't afraid to explore queer themes in art. It's sweet to see the ship art, even if it's "badly done" or it plays into yaoi roles of the time in some areas.

I just hit the page with the gay wedding, and it's actually sweeter than I remembered. It's so sweet. I'm genuinely gonna cry. For a long time, I couldn't look back at it without cringing at the memory of my classmates huddling around the table where I'd left my sketchbook. And the way one of them asked me why two guys were getting married. But now, I'm hit with how sweet and utterly genuine my art used to be, and for that reason, I absolutely love it.

It's between the characters Riki Ryugasaki and Samuru Shigami from B-Daman Crossfire. I have no idea why I was so obsessed with that anime, but the ship had me at a chokehold.

The only time I cringed was when I looked at my drawing of Frisk and Sans laying with their heads on each other with the label of ship art on top, but I was a child who headcanoned Sans to be the same age as Frisk, so like. yk.

But that's the Only time I cringed through this whole experiment. Every single art piece besides that one has made me smile or in some cases laugh at the absurdity of it (oh god the vinscott with vincent taking off phone guy's phone MASK so you could see a bit of his face underneath. I laughed. and GODD the jeremike of mike lifting up jeremy shouldn't be as funny as it is. it's hilarious, but a bit sweet. and the little me on the next page with my palms open and a rainbow coming off from it like that one spongebob meme saying 'yaoi'. god i love you child me. i could NOT draw shit like that nowadays. keep it up i guess!)

Okay the cisswap Jeremike is actually cute. if only in the regular versions i didn't uh. make jeremy an... hm. yaoi term that starts with 'u' and ends with 'ke'. but anyway. The Michelle and Jenifer drawing is actually pretty cute.

AWWW I just encountered a 'pocky challenge' (unfinished) drawing, that's ADORABLEE. Okay my Maxaac / Imaax art was so cute... Isaac is thinking about him in classss... aww........

Anyway. Love your old art, guys. This has been a general PSA.

Pressure

My muse didn't want to let go of this idea... set in a Post Series AU with my OC Jen. Warning whump ahead! With a happy ending of course.

Thank you as always to @gumnut-logic for the guidance with some aspects of this one.

Scott knew he should go and check on the twins, if it were anyone else he knew he would have been chasing them to spend some time with the newborns. Six hours old and already they had spent more time in the presence of strangers than with their parents.

He had warranted it to himself that they needed to be checked out - a collapsed building was hardly a recommended place of birth. Dad had smiled and insisted that they were Tracy’s and that alone was enough to ensure they would survive a rough introduction into the world. Scott didn’t disagree, both had had a solid set of lungs on them just moments after he had delivered them. Gordon had joked that it was what had led he and Virgil to their location.

Scott had always known the relief that International Rescue managed to bring with them, had experienced it himself when his brothers had arrived to pull him out of a tight spot. He’d seen it on Jen’s face that very morning when he had found her in the collapsed remains of the family villa on the mainland.

She had expected him to go elsewhere, in true IR fashion to put others above themselves and their own.

The moment she hadn’t answered his call, Scott had made a decision to be selfish. He had sent his brothers to do their job and split off himself to start digging through the rubble.

Her scream had given her away, an indication that she was alive but something must have been wrong.

When he had found her he was sure that their relief and fear had matched. He hadn’t been able to tell in the light from his torch if she was truly pale, if it was the cold or the shock that was making her shiver where she had been sprawled on her side, pinned by a chest of drawers.

She had sobbed as he’d shifted them off of her and helped her into a more comfortable position, asked what the hell he was doing there, with a sweatshirt of all things to wrap her up in. Her hands had shook as she reached out to him, breathing shallow and hitched as her eyes screwed shut.

Scott knew he couldn’t have gone anywhere else.

“Are you okay?” He had murmured, wiping at her cheeks.

She caught his hand with hers as she shook her head, “My chest hurts, I don’t know if I hit my head.”

Minor injuries, things they could deal with back on Two.

“But, Scott,” She swallowed, the fear fresh in her eyes, “I went into labor last night.”

He blanched at her words, timings automatically adding up in his head.

“I’m sorry I didn’t call you.” She sobbed, “You were out getting those rock climbers and I thought-- I was going to call this morning. The midwife said I had ages, so I went to bed and then…”

“Jen,” He caught her as her face screwed up, hands tightening around his as she yelled again, “Breathe.”

It was so typical of her, to put him first. So strong and capable on her own, even when she didn’t need to be. It hurt to watch her hurting, bruised ribs no doubt not helping with each contraction.

“It’s okay.” He murmured, as she relaxed again “What’s important is that I’m here now and we’re going to get through this.”

Her breath’s were shallow as she nodded, lips pursed as damp eyes looked up to him, “I’m scared, Scott. You heard what the midwife said about complications and--”

“I know.” He cut her off, “But this is where we’re at Jen, and unless you can walk, I think we’ve got to do this here.”

Sitting as close as he could, he took her hands again in his, squeezing tightly until she looked at him. Forcing a smile of reassurance, he lent forward to kiss her hair.

“This is a scary thing even when everything’s gone to plan,” He whispered, “If anyone can do this though, darling, I don’t doubt it’s you.”

Her head dipped forward, resting against the padding of his baldric as she took several slow, deep breaths. The thumb circling against his hand was the give away that she was trying to calm herself and not simply listening. Scott had spent a lifetime spotting her tells and reacting to them, he just wished he could do more in that moment.

The whimper was soft as she tensed against him, hands gripping tight once more as she cried out.

Timing, Scott knew, was everything. Something in the back of his head reminding him to start a timer as Jen relaxed once more.

“Scott?” She murmured, thumbs returning to their slow circles against his hands.

“Hmm?”

“I love you. You didn’t have to come down here first, but you still did. I was trying to work out what I was goin’ to do if you didn’ and, I’m glad I don’t have to.” She took another slow breath, “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Pulling back slightly, he nodded, “I’m going to do everything I can to help, okay? Are you warm enough or should I get another blanket?”

Wrapped up in the hoodie that was normally too big for her, she nodded, “”m ‘kay.”

“Right,” He took a breath of his own, turning to the medkit he had grabbed on his way out of Two, “Let’s see where this will get us.”

The space was cramped and their med kits were limited when it came to childbirth. Placing a line was always a good place to start though, and fluids, Virgil had assured him he couldn’t go far wrong with that.

His family had chosen the moment of the next contraction to call in, timing spectacular as always.

From there it was a blur, he’d delivered babies in the field before, they all had. Never had he anticipated that they had all simply been practise for delivering his own. There had been a plan, as there always was, a specialist suite in a birthing centre not far from the house. Scott, still on call with IR, available to help until the last possible moment whilst Jen made home on the mainland.

They weren’t sure what had caused the massive landslip.

Kayo thought she had a pretty good idea.

It was a Tracy curse that plans never came to fruition, and so Scott shouldn’t have been surprised that they had never made it to the birthing suite.

Their baby girl had come first, thrashing and wailing with all the fight in the world as he wrapped her in one of the blankets he had brought. Jen had held her arms out for her as tears tracked down both their cheeks, a moment of relieved peace shared between the three of them before Jen had winced with a gasp of agony.

There was nowhere else to put the first born, but Jen had assured him that she had her, holding her close as her face screwed up and mothers and baby’s cry matched for a long moment.

The second came quicker, as they always seemed to from what Scott had heard. Equally as loud as his sister, but far less wriggly.

“Holy cow!” Gordon had announced his brother’s arrival, “Nice place you guys picked, all the mod cons for a comfortable birth.”

Scott had laughed briefly, shaking his head as he looked over to he and Virgil with a grimace, “Next time we’re staying home, right Jen?”

He had expected any number of responses, something about not having any more perhaps.

The silence behind the screaming newborns made him look back.

She had slumped against the rubble he had propped her up against, head back eyes closed, each shallow breath barely moving the bundle against her chest.

“Jen?” He touched her leg, hoping she was simply taking a moment, “Jen!”

His world froze, a million scenarios he knew to be possible, blurring his vision.

Virgil and Gordon had acted, the younger sweeping up both of the babies in his arms as the older pushed forward, demanding Scott’s attention.

A med-scanner that Scott hadn’t thought to use in the rush of the moment flashed the space a deep orange. A reminder that things weren’t okay, despite the relief he had felt just moments earlier.

They had moved as one back the way they had come, stepping out into a street Scott hardly recognised with a flash of camera lights and reporters waiting to mob them.

“Why did you abandon the others in need?”

It was only Virgil that had kept him moving at the question, the reminder that time was not something they had in that moment, the fluids Scott had started only able to do so much to replace the blood she was losing.

The flight in Two had seemed almost pointless, the time in the air all too brief but equally making all the difference in getting them to the hospital as fast as possible.

The surgeon’s had whisked Jen in one direction, neonatal nurses taking the twins in the other. Scott hadn’t known which to follow for a moment, the whole situation seeming not quite real as he stood in the hospital reception, people milling around him as their lives went on.

“Go with Jen.” A sure voice had told him with a solid hand on his shoulder, “I’ll find out about the twins.”

He had looked to his father as he always had done, with the belief that he could fix anything.

“She’s as stubborn as any of us, Scott.” He had nodded with another squeeze of his shoulder, “She’s a fighter.”

“She was so scared.” Scott whispered, their hushed conversation as he had placed a line in her hand coming back to him, “I screwed up Dad, I didn’t even-”

A second hand on his opposite shoulder grounded him as Dad turned to face him, “You and her delivered twins Scott, without any drugs or equipment. Just one would have been bad enough, but two? That’s a feat in itself son, one I don’t think you could have done any better.”

Twins.

A girl and a boy.

“We got a girl.” He murmured, legs wobbling at the thought, “I should--”

A glance towards the doors they had taken Jen through, a man in scrubs catching Scott’s eye as he headed for them.

Postpartum bleeding. Internal bleeding. Surgery. Lung contusions.

Scott hadn’t been able to leave after that. He didn’t dare wait for a moment to see her, he had to be there waiting when she came back from surgery. He needed to know without a doubt that she would be okay, that two more children wouldn’t grow up without a mother.

She had been gone for three hours.

Three long hours before they had led him to a private ward.

Under the bright lights of the hospital room he could easily see how pale her usually tanned skin was, could see the dark contrast of cuts and scrapes on her arms and face. The fluid line he had started had been replaced with blood and part of him absently wondered if it was the same line in her hand that he had placed.

He had sunk into the chair by her bed and not moved since.

A doctor had come by at some point, congratulated him on pre-empting the need for intravenous fluid treatment and the safe delivery of twins in the field.

Scott wasn’t sure how much of it had been his own doing, Jen was the one that had gone through hell to get them there. It had all happened so fast, he hadn’t had an option but to react, let his training come to the fore and take the lead.

The breakfast news on the radio was the only thing keeping track of the time.

“And now an update on the landslide that struck Parnell overnight, damaging several high-end properties. All residents have now been accounted for and work continues to secure the area whilst an investigation begins in to what caused the land to give way as it did.

“Many residents are this morning questioning the actions of the Tracy family who were seen abandoning one collapsed mansion in favour of returning to their own damaged villa in the area. Some say the actions of the family that run International Rescue were selfish and left others in danger.

“However, this morning Incident Commander, Chief Shruti, has spoken out in regards to the actions of the organisation.”

Scott frowned, looking up to the radio as the voice changed.

“In the early hours of this morning the members of International Rescue arrived to assist with the landslide that struck a small area of Parnell. It is common knowledge that the members have their own residence in the area and Ms Lakeland, partner to Scott Tracy, has been residing there for the last few weeks. I would like to clarify that the members of the organisation wished to assist with all those in need, and never once placed priority on their own family member with whom they had been unable to make contact. International Rescue placed as many resources into this rescue as they would any other.”

He could feel his hands shaking as he took Jen’s hand in his, the act of being selfish feeling so wrong once the moment had passed. In the background, the fire chief continued.

“Scott Tracy was as much a part of this rescue operation as any other member present, irrespective of who he was rescuing, the man was still doing his job. International Rescue were all doing their job this morning, and when we finally got word on Ms Lakeland’s condition it was myself who made the decision to divert the appropriate resources to her location.”

Swallowing, Scott screwed his eyes shut. He hadn’t expected his family to join them, had thought that he and Jen were on their own to figure things out and pray for the best. If Virgil and Gordon hadn’t turned up when they had, he wasn’t sure what might have happened.

“The actions of International Rescue this morning were not selfish as some would have you believe. They were the actions of a family that always put others above themselves.”

“You hear that?”

Scott sniffed as he looked around to Virgil, wiping at his eyes as he nodded slowly.

“She needed you Scott, anyone that judges us for what we did this morning needs to take a very hard look at themselves.”

He knew his brother was probably right, but his mind was elsewhere, focussed on his new family and how close it had come to being broken.

“I spoke to the doctor,” Virgil continued softly, “She’s going to be fine.”

When she was so still and silent on the bed, it didn’t feel like it.

“How are the twins?” He murmured, his heart split over where he should be.

Virgil nodded quietly as he leant against the wall, “Dad’s sat with them, they’re both good, by some miracle.”

Scott couldn’t help but snort, miracle was an understatement.

“Do you want us to bring them over? The nurses said we could.”

It caught his attention, the meaning behind the offer saying more than the simple assurance that his children were okay.

Looking back to Jen, he nodded, “Yeah, that would be good. Thanks.”

Virgil didn’t say more as he slipped away, leaving Scott to sink against the edge of the bed. He was spent, his mind unable to keep up with all that had happened in such a short space of time. Things were meant to be different.

“Scott?”

It was a whisper of a breath as her fingers twitched against his, the blankets shifting as she tried to move.

“Jen.” He breathed, sitting straight as he reached across her, “Hey, it’s okay. Don’t--” He swallowed as he brushed her cheek, “Honey, you’ll hurt yourself.”

Bleary eyes blinked as she glanced around the room, tears escaping the corners of her eyes as she swallowed.

“The twins?”

“They’re good, Virgil and Dad are bringing them now for us.” He brushed her hair off her face, “Everything’s good.”

He could finally believe his own words as her hand tightened around his, glassy eyes blinking again as she sniffed.

“Everything’s okay?”

Perching on the edge of the mattress to lean over her, he allowed himself to smile, “It will be, once you’ve healed and they’re here.”

Her returning smile was exhausted as her shaky hand reached up to the stubble on his jaw.

“You saved me.”

Covering her hand with his own, he shrugged, “I wouldn’t have been anywhere else. The rest of the world can say what they like, there will never be anything more important than family.”

“The chief was wrong,” She whispered, eyes resting closed for a moment before looking to him again, “You were being selfish, but sometimes, this time, you have a right to be.”

He couldn’t disagree with her. It wasn’t in their nature to not help others, to not put the needs of others before their own. Sometimes though, on a rare occasion, there were things that came above helping others.

Both looked up at the knock on the door, his father and brother stepping in with matching grins.

As Scott took his daughter, and Jen took their son, he knew that for his family he would always be a little bit selfish.

And that was okay.

[all-we-know-is-falling]

Hello instagram mutuals who followed me here, and for the people who see this and don’t know me, I am throwing you completely into the deep end!

I have made a timeline for Alejo’s romantic relationships!!! Hooray!!! It doesn’t explain anything except for this, but if you have any questions then do ask :3

Violeta, 2010, 2011-2012

Alejo had a girlfriend when he was a young teenager — about 14. Her name was Violeta, and it didn’t last long or go too far. They got back together aged 15-16, and this is why he had had more experience than Jenifer that time.

Jenifer, 2013-2014

Jenifer became Alejo’s girlfriend between ages 17-18 for about a year. They had known each other all through school but weren’t that close until now. The break up was messy.

Nieves, 2014-2015

Only months after things with Jenifer ended, Alejo had a new girl, Nieves. They might not have lasted as long as the previous two did, but their time together was intense. Alejo had almost turned into a different person between 18 and 19.

Penélope, 2016

When Alejo was 20, he met Penélope. She left her boyfriend for him, although she would’ve left him eventually, regardless. He was lame. They moved too fast and their love died out. Penélope felt under-appreciated, and Alejo had an array of issues to go through.

Renata, 2019-2021

When Alejo was 23 and had sobered up and was generally doing a lot better than he was before, he was ready to get into another relationship. Unlike with almost all of the girls in the past, he didn’t mess this one up. However, the two mutually decided to split, since they were at different stages in life.

Jenifer, 2024-

He reconnected with Jenifer as friends when he was 26, in 2022. In 2023, Jenifer had split from her fiancé, and once she had dealt with her sadness and grief over the end of her longest relationship, she and Alejo decided to give theirs another go. It was 10 years since they last dated and they had changed and matured. They got back together some time between ages 27 and 28.

Introducing The Wissmanns!

Part 2.  The 2nd Generation Couples.

[ Click Here If You Missed Part 1 ]

As promised, here is a quick rundown of the Wissmann Couples, starting with Wissmann #1 (Rachel)...

Rachel (Wissmann) + Alan William Busenitz

Alan proposed to Rachel on December 16, 2011, after knowing her for just 13–14 Weeks.  (Doing the math, they must have met in September of 2011.)  They married on June 30, 2012.  On the Wedding Date, Alan was 39, and Rachel was 30.  Initially (for ~3 Years) they struggled with “unexplained infertility,” and eventually tried fertility drugs and even IUI.  Rachel implies that they ultimately conceived ‘naturally,’ however, and they’ve now had 3 Children—

Kendrick Alan Busenitz   b. January 26, 2016  (Age 6)

Autumn Joy Busenitz   b. October 7, 2017  (Age 4)

Justice William Busenitz   b. July 12, 2019  (Almost 3)    

Since Justice, Rachel has unfortunately had two back–to–back 2nd–Trimester Losses.  She miscarried John Matthew at 19 Weeks Along on January 8, 2021, then Faith Elizabeth (at 17 or 18 Weeks Along) on August 4, 2021.  Rachel also had an early miscarriage in September 2018, between Autumn and Justice.

So far, Rachel + Alan’s Procreative Pace (PP) is 628 Days with an ESOQ of 8 Children.

Rachel’s Husband, Alan Busenitz, is 1 of 6 Children.  His family is from Potwin, Kansas, and Rachel + Alan now live in his hometown.  Alan makes his living as a farmer.  Rachel is a stay–at–home wife and homeschooling mother.  Rachel + Alan are members of Emmaus Church (Whitewater, KS)—“an evangelical Bible church with Mennonite roots.”  (Statement of Faith.)  (Duggar Data figured this out by comparing the church shown on Rachel’s June 2022 IG Stories re: VBS to churches in the Potwin, KS area.)

Ruth (Wissmann) + Ryan James Bourlier

Ruth + Ryan met on December 20, 2015.  He proposed a mere 13 Weeks Later, on March 25, 2016.  They got married on July 30, 2016, He was 34; she was 32 (Almost 33).  So far, they have 4 Children (All Sons)—

Lee James Bourlier   b. June 21, 2017  (Just Turned 5)

Jerit Daniel Bourlier  b. October 3, 2018  (Age 3)

Kaleb Terry Bourlier   b. July 3, 2021  (Just Turned 1)

Currently, Ruth + Ryan’s Procreative Pace (PP) is 491 Days (16 Months)—the fastest of the 2nd Generation Wissmanns—and their ESOQ is 11 Children.

The Bourlier–Wissmanns live in Kimball, Kimball County, Nebraska.  Ryan is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), with a degree from University of Nebraska, Lincoln.  Ruth is a mother and homemaker, and also sells Plexus.  (Yes, that’s the same ‘Plexus’ that J–Rod sells.)  Duggar Data isn’t sure where they attend church, except they probably don’t go to East Fairview Mennonite Church, as none of the church bulletins mention them.

Josiah + Abi Lyn (Rehm) Wissmann

Their Love Story was posted on the Wissmann Blog, but Duggar Data stupidly failed to screenshot it before the Wissmanns locked the blog down.  However, they probably met via Millard Alliance Church (MAC); the Rehm and Wissmann Families were both members.  At any rate, Josiah + Abi wed on September 20, 2008, at the very first 2nd Generation Wissmann Wedding.  Josiah was 23; Abi was 21.  They had the very 1st GrandWissmann (Joanna) in February 2010 and now have 4 Children Total (2 Daughters, 2 Sons)—

Joanna Praise Wissmann   b. February 24, 2010  (Age 12)  

Asher David Wissmann   b. November 30, 2011  (Age 10)  

Jenifer Lee Wissmann   b. May 17, 2016  (Age 6)

Andron Michael Wissmann   b. October 11, 2019  (Age 2)

Josiah + Abi’s current Procreative Pace (PP) is 1,172 Days (~3.2 Years), and their ESOQ is 6 Children.

Bethany (Wissmann) + Daniel Trust Beasley

Bethany’s Husband, Daniel, also hails from a Millard Alliance (MAC) family.  His father (Phil) is actually one of the church elders.  Dan is 1 of 9 Children.

Bethany + Dan started courting on March 26, 2009.  He proposed on June 29, 2009.  They tied the knot on December 19, 2009.  At the time, he was 21, and she was 23.  So far, they have 5 Children, more than any other 2nd Generation Wissmann Couple—

Arianna Mae Beasley   b. April 25, 2012  (Age 10)

Caden James Beasley   b. February 3, 2014  (Age 8)

Everett William Beasley   b. December 1, 2016  (Age 5)

Daniel is a lawyer.  He graduated from law school in 2012.  Since then, he has worked as an attorney at the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA)—a non–profit, which advocates parents’ right to homeschool.  (Fun Fact:  The HSLDA is the organization that assisted The Romeike Family with their asylum case.)  Bethany is a stay–at–home, homeschooling mother.  Currently, they live in Charles Town, Jefferson County, West Virginia.  They worship at Fellowship Bible Church (FBC) in Shenandoah Junction, WV.  (Their Church’s Doctrine.)

Andrew + Kori Jane (Knuth) Wissmann

She is from Florida, is 1 of only 2 Children, and her family isn’t as conservative as the Wissmanns.  (But, they’re definitely still conservative.)  She and Andrew met in 2002; started dating in 2008; got engaged on the 4th of July, 2010; and married on March 5, 2011.  Andrew was 23; Kori was 22.  They didn’t become parents right away, and experienced at least one miscarriage.  (Their Firstborn, Wyatt, is apparently a “rainbow baby.”  See Also.)  They now have 2 Sons—

Wyatt Andrew Wissmann   b. June 25, 2018  (Just Turned 4)

Jaxon Richard Wissmann   b. June 11, 2020  (Just Turned 2)

Their Procreative Pace (PP), which is based on their only non–Firstborn Child Spacing (Wyatt–to–Jaxon), is 717 Days.  Their ESOQ is 5 Children.

Drew + Kori live in Winter Garden, Orange County, Florida.  Duggar Data isn’t sure what they do for work.  They might attend Beulah Baptist Church (Winter Garden, FL) (Statement of Beliefs), since Kori “likes” it on Facebook.

Matthias + Michelle Ruth (Kingery) Wissmann

Matthias + Michelle went public w/ their courtship on June 18, 2017.  He went on to propose on August 29, 2017, and their Wedding Date was December 30, 2017.  They are fairly private, recently waiting until birth to announce their 2nd Pregnancy / Child.  As of 2022, they have 2 Children—

Adalynn Michelle Wissmann   b. March 22, 2019  (Age 3)

Titus Ezekiel Wissmann   b. June 7, 2021  (13 Months)

To date, their Procreative Pace (PP), based on their only non–Firstborn Child Spacing (Adalynn–to–Titus), is 808 Days.  Their ESOQ is 7 Children.

Michelle hails from Minnesota, from a large “singing family.”  (The Wissmanns are also a “singing family,” so that might be how she met Matthias.)  She’s the 3rd of 8 Children.  As of 2022, Matt + Michelle live in Seward, Seward County, Nebraska, close to his parents. He works for his father’s company, Wissmann Enterprises, while she is a stay–at–home wife and mother.  They are members of East Fairview Mennonite Church, where Matthias sometimes preaches and leads bible study.

Hannah (Wissmann) + Jeremiah Robert Duggar

They hardly need this Introduction, but here goes...  Hannah + Jeremiah were married on March 26, 2022.  He proposed in Late December 2021—the exact timing is discussed in this Post—after going public with their relationship that October.  No Children yet.

Obviously, Jeremiah hails from the very well–known Duggar Family.  He is 1 of 19 Children, and half of Michelle’s 2nd and Final Set of Twins.  He is 5 Minutes Younger than his fraternal twin brother, Jedidiah.

After their wedding, Hannah moved to Jer’s home state of Arkansas.  Duggar Data doesn’t know exactly where in Arkansas they’re living.  Duggar Data also isn’t sure where they go to church.

Nathanael Wissmann + Katrina Hope Sahlstrom

Finally...  Wissman #11 (Nathanael) is in a relationship with Katrina Sahlstrom.  He is 20 (DOB October 28, 2001).  She’s 19 (DOB June 28, 2003).  Apparently, they began dating on June 28, 2021.  Nathanael went public with the relationship on Instagram the next day.  They’re not engaged yet.

Katrina is the 7th of 10 Children.  She still lives at home in Tracy, Lyon County, Minnesota.  Nathanael is, likewise, still living at the Wissmann Family Home in Milford, Seward County, Nebraska.  He works full–time for the family business, Wissmann Enterprises, and is also a licensed pilot.  It’s unknown what Katrina does for work.  She is a homeschool graduate.

Do y’all remember when Dan interviewed the cast of Hunger Games when he still had a fake crush on Jenifer Lawerence and it was 2015 so it was the ‘I’m a quirky little trashcan lol XD’ era and it was just so awkward? And I think he brought a cupcake? Or did i completely imagine that because I can’t find it

The Chasm of Time and a family divided

So, we're pretty seriously dissociated from most of our emotions these days. But there are certain themes in stories that get us every time, and there's this one that hits us so intensely that it feels like the most cathartic thing we can ever find, and it's weird.

Any movie or book or comic, any story, in which one family member makes a great sacrifice for another (typically a parent for a child, or a sibling for their other sibling) just cuts us to the bone. And then, if there's any sort of closure after a long time, it wrecks us.

And when we experience these feelings, it's as if we've experienced them before. As if these stories are reminding us of something we've been through, including the closure.

But, in our outworld history, we haven't. We've never experienced this.

But, if we think about our history of reacting to these stories, before we came out as trans (and plural) the scenes of closure gave us intense feelings of yearning instead of familiarity. Like it was something we desperately needed.

It wasn't until after we'd come out (in 2015) that those closure scenes started to spark recognition and joy, and it's slowly spreading through the system the realization for why that is.

You see, we were born plural. We had a divided brain, the left side enby, the right girl.

Eh and Jenifer are our eldest system members, and the only two to carry memories of being in the crib as an infant.

But we were assigned male at birth, and raised with the expectation that we were a boy. Which we weren't.

Eh and the other dragons could adapt to that easier.

Jenifer and the girls could not. So, as we grew older and were indoctrinated into the cult of masculinity, Jenifer retreated to the deepest part of her headspace and didn't begin to poke her head out until Middle School, when our egg first began to crack.

But still, that was in 1987, in the dark ages of being trans in the U.S. and coming out as a trans girl at 13 was NOT possible for us. Also, as we researched it through our later teens, we encountered all sorts of other things that drove us further into the closet, which meant that Jenifer and her daughters had to communicate with the outside world through our comics and other fiction. They almost never fronted, and usually only within dreams when they did.

Something else fascinating is that we were very right handed for most of this time. But, then we came out as a girl in 2015, we started reflexively using our left hand more, even though we weren't very good at it.

There's a lot more story to our transition that we're going to skip for expediency.

The point is that we had the reunion in 2015. And nearly 40 years of being separated by a chasm of dissociation from your twin & their children is a FUCKING LONG TIME. It's literally a family tragedy. All for the sake of masking & keeping the system safe from transphobia.

We're still not healed from it. But we're doing better.

Anyway, every time a group of us are taken by surprise by these intense emotions & cannot connect them to our outworld life, where most of our memories are, some of us end up asking, "Is this exotrauma from one of our walk-ins?"

But it's not. It's just us. It's inworld history.

(It is possible that some of our walk-ins relate through their own past experiences as well, since they stay in our system once they are here. Who knows what they have left behind in order to shelter with us.)
