#menstruation talk

I'm so tired of menstruation I need to get pregnant so I can go back on birth control after I'm all done. T_T

up at 3am because my period cramps were excruciating and I need to have time to eat something so I can take my painkillers after writhing in pain on the toilet

someday we'll create a way to manage menstruation that isn't a sensory nightmare and i will live to see it

i think i'm finally leaving my flop era and entering my slay era

I hate hate hate that there is not one type of pad out there, not even for abundant flows, that are shaped to protect your thighs from the blood.

look I know it's part of a much larger and trickier issue but in a vacuum, "gay people shouldn't own firearms because they will just get depressed and kill themselves" is like something my 80 year old Vietnam veteran father would remark casually during some sort of family gathering and then get REALLY surprised when absolutely everyone got mad at him

I have literally never been so happy for my period to start. Of course it was on the day the meds to help arrived. 🙄 at least now i can get that anatomy scan for figuring out what's wrong and why I'm not getting pregnant.

I'M CALLING YOUR TWIN

SUMMARY: Floyd with an afab mc who gets mood swings on their period.

CHARACTER: Floyd Leech.

WARNINGS: Menstrual cycles.

COMMENTS: this request was funny because morays use scent to track their prey because their eyesight isnt so good so guess what!! jade and floyd would know exactly whats going on!! (except they'd probably assume you're hurt first since fish don't exactly have periods and yeahhh its a whole thing. marine bio fixation go wheeeee.)

“Ehh? Shrimpy, why are you flopped on your bed like a dead fish-?”

The sudden cut off of Floyd’s voice makes you roll over to face him, eyes unfocused and brain muddled. You grunt in acknowledgement, feeling another wave of discomfort wrack your body. You can’t even bring yourself to move when Floyd storms up to you, murder in his eyes as he looks down at you.

“Who hurt you?” he hisses, getting way too close for comfort as he bares his teeth, “Why do you smell like blood, huh Shrimpy? Why didn’t ya tell me you were injured?”

“I’m not, okay?!” you snap, rolling over so you don’t have to look at him, “I’m going through my cycle, Floyd. If you ever bothered to ask instead of just barging in and assuming things you would know that.”

“If nobody hurt ya then...?” Floyd seems to snap out of it, brow furrowing in confusion, “You’re just hurting? Why?”

“Every month blood pours out of me and my hormones get silly.” you deadpan, irritation clawing at your throbbing belly, “Now can you leave? I really don’t want to say something I regret just because I’m angry right now.”

“Nah. Don’t feel like it.” Floyd hums, collapsing on top of you and ignoring your screech of annoyance, “I came here to hug my Shrimpy and that’s what I’m gonna do.”

“If you want to hug me then get me some of my favorite snacks from the kitchen.” you grumble, and Floyd laughs.

“Oh cmon, Shrimpy. Tell me where it hurts. I’ll kiss it better for ya.” he snickers, curling back his lips to reveal his sharp teeth.

“If you don’t get them for me I’m calling Jade.” you glare. If he’s going to barge in and irritate you (lovingly, though. And he knows it, which is what makes him so infuriating), then he’s going to pay the price.

“Aww, man. You’re no fun.” Floyd groans, but he gets up without another word and stalks off towards the kitchen.

There’s a concerning amount of clattering he does down there, but you don’t even care.
