#period cycle is fucked

[hellenicdreaming]

Ive had so many problems with my period that it's finally motivated me to lose weight and be more healthy. Hoping my body will be better for it 🩷🩷

Did first workout earlier and i actually think i may die 🥺

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

you ever get off the wall angry looking up symptoms of “condition you fear you have” of the day and all symptoms are either “well if you have this you have to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY- or they’re unremarkable side effects of having a female reproductive system”

that and the time I was trying to research diseases for some writing, because I wanted to see how a vagina/uterus would react, and ALL I could find was “…. You mean during pregnancy, right? You want to know what will happen to a baby, yes?”

no cunt, I want to know what will happen to someone with an uterus when all other internal organs go haywire

[topsyturvy-turtely]

here we go again.

crawled back into bed because my uterus once again decided it hates me because OH NO YOU DIDN'T GET PREGNANT (dude. we've talked about this i am le$bean - even if i HAD sex it wouldn't lead to pregnancy) I WANT REVENGE.

might as well reply to my 111 comments/replies on ao3 while i wait for that stupid ibuprofen to kick (which usually takes more than an hour - we love it) see you there!

For those who follow the movements & weather of planets, This new moon is an important one let me telling you why .. So in April 2023 the moon cycle got reversed due to their beinng two aries new moons that year, at 0 and 29 degrees. It just times out this way sometimes but what it means is that the moon cycle gets "reversed" & for a stretch of time afterwards , the full moon of month will happen before the new moon instead of after. Ordinarily The new moon should come first in order to set things in motion which come to fruition during the full moon.

The moon is a very personal/subjective planet and represents our deepest inner world, our emotions, our habits, who we are when no one's watching. So what i've heard about the moon cycle reversal is that it may have been really difficult to get in the /flow/of things since spring 2023, Like every time U try to make progress with something, external things keep coming up and halting your flow, its been harder to get anything done or feel like "yourself"!

i actually wasnt aware of the cycle reversal until a few weeks ago but for me it made SO many things click like. Spring 2023 was a definitive marker for when "The Trials" really kicked off for me >_< its been so hard to work on music since then, Theres been constantly some shit happening that stirs my emotions, ppl falling out of my life, just like all the DRAMA and shit that felt like it'd come out of nowhere.

But today the moon cycle resets to its natural state as we have the cancer new moon falling between two capricorn full moons, at 1 & 29 degree :) its also neat that its resetting in cancer since cancer is the sign that rules the moon ! So hopefully things will collectively begin to feel more aligned and easy-flowing once again. I suggest journalling & setting intentions if you feel so inclinced !! Or just starting something new in general. 🪷

we as a society don't adequately address how physically, emotionally, and mentally hard the menstrual cycle is on a woman's body and we really should be talking about this

I wish I could tell every young person with a uterus (especially with bad cramps and/or dysphoria and/or depression, etc) that there is a decent chance they just straight up don’t need to live with that. don’t let the stigma surrounding contraceptives and the expectation that you should just ride it out and suffer win. for the love of god if there’s a chance you can lighten or even stop your period and it’s symptoms all-together, unless there’s a legit health concern, your doctor should at least make you aware of that option. I want every young person to know that “birth control” is not just for birth control and it has the potential to make your life infinitely easier to live. do not give in to anti-pill propaganda im serious

Jace doing stretches in bed to relieve period cramps when Porter walks in and just kinda short circuits seeing him with his ass in the air and his face buried in a pillow. In his mind he’s like ‘that text didn’t say anything about sex, wtf is going on.’

When Jace finally rolls over into a more relaxed position and sees Porter he just gives him the most exhausted, frowny look and asks for a back rub and Porter obliges once it clicks into place for him. He pampers Jace for the rest of the day and dotes on him for the rest of the week until it’s over.

Learned about the Egyptian lore about how men (as well as women) were granted period leaves bc since the women would need rest the men would have to do the work women usually do (around the house or in general even)... It was called smth like "on leave - woman bleeding"

And the reason I got reminded of this is bc I've been insanely sick since the last two weeks and just when I started feeling the teeniest bit better (yesterday) I got my period (not much to bleed since I ate barely nothing but I've been feeling faint the moment I sit/stand up) and my mother was fasting the whole day so now she has an insane headache and my father - well aware of both our conditions - has the audacity to tell me to do stuff (help him in the kitchen I'll be honest he's not telling me to grind a mill no but to make dough and then rotis which if anyone knows is fucking tiring esp for me since I fucking hate doing it). I'm so angry that I just went with it. And my mother had to legit tell me to stop for that man to realise I've been deadly sick.

Men do not deserve the position of authority. They simply don't.

This is a super busy week for me so I’m hoping I will be able to de-stress and draw some trans Eddie over the weekend when it’s over pray 4 me

like you guys just exist in a world where you don’t feel blood leave your body once a month

FREEZER POP

Aunt Flo’s in town and it gave me this idea. I only just now got around to writing it. Art’s s/o, Mal, is on her period and, knowing Art’s a cannibal, decides to give him a special treat.

TW: Blood, menstruation, periods, mention of cannibalism

Mallory winced as another sharp pain stabbed through her. Gritting her teeth, she sucked in a breath through her nose, held it for a few seconds, then let it out through her mouth. She’d always had hellish periods before going on the pill, but after switching to an IUD a couple years ago, her period cramps had returned. She had been tired for the last few days, so much so that she had called in sick the day before just so she could get some sleep. When her period started, she finally understood why.

“Fuck this shit,” Mal grumbled as she grabbed a square of toilet paper to keep the blood off her fingers. The tampon came out with a single yank. Just as she was about to drop it into the toilet, she paused, an idea springing to mind. “Hold on a second…”

Mal glanced down at the tampon. Art had been in her life long enough for her to know he had some…unique tastes when it came to food. He had already earned his red wings, and then some. He couldn’t get enough of her, and he had spent the rest of the night eating her pussy like a man half-starved. He never spent more than a night—maybe two—with her, but he had spent the entire week with her that week, disappearing during the day and returning at night to eat her out again.

Now, staring at the tampon in her hand, Mal wondered if he might want it. Never before had she considered keeping any of her used tampons. To her, it was disgusting, and they were meant to be thrown away. But her cannibal…whatever the hell Art was…might not think so. Maybe he’d want them. Maybe they’d be a treat for him.

Sighing, Mal tossed it into the sink and finished up. Wrapping the tampon in a paper towel, she stashed it in a Tupperware container in the back of the fridge.

~ ~ ~

I have a treat for you,” Mal said when Art inevitably returned. Ever since that night, he’d somehow learned her cycle. She didn’t want to know how—when it came to Art, some things were better left a mystery.

Art perked up, his mouth forming a surprised O as he gestured to himself.

“Yeah. It’s in the freezer if you want it. It’s in the Tupperware in the back.”

Art clapped his hands and skipped into the kitchen. Mal shook her head, still in awe of the way he could be so lethal yet so whimsical at the same time. She knew as soon as they’d gotten involved with each other that he would be her death.

Mal followed Art into the kitchen, where he was digging through the freezer. She smiled as he pulled out that morning’s Tupperware container. Several more used tampons had been added to it, wrapped in a paper towel. She had written Art’s name in glittery pink gel pen on each one. His eyes widened when he opened the container. Glancing up at her, he pointed excitedly at his name.

“Yeah. I wanted to surprise you.”

Art grinned and grabbed one of the tampons, tearing at the paper towel with his teeth. He paused, stunned, when he saw the tampon.

“It’s probably weird, but…I thought these could be a sort of…well, freezer pop. If you want them. If not I’ll throw them out—“

Art cut off Mal with a wave of his hand before popping the tampon into his mouth. If he were the type to ever make a sound, she knew he’d be letting out a moan of delight as his eyes fluttered shut. He replaced the lid and shoved the container back into the freezer.

Art opened his eyes and held out his arms with a beckoning motion. As Mal stepped forward, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

“I take it you like the freezer pop?” She said, chuckling. Art nodded. “Good. There’s plenty more where that came from.”
