#thrifted medical shit

[haeryna]

thinking about idol!gojo and rockstar!geto (tw: mentions of underage drinking, implied abandonment, implied homophobia from gojo's parents, vague mentions of illness)

how you three, along with shoko, lived in the same ratty small town in the middle of nowhere. you'd moved when you were six, all shy and scared of the house your parents had moved to in order to help your sick grandmother that you barely remembered because the last time you'd seen her was when you were four. you were from the city; you'd never seen fireflies, or grass that stretched out as far as your eyes could see, and so when you saw the first firefly appear just as the sky turned to dusk, how were you supposed to resist it?

so you chased it down to the creek, all smiles and filled with excitement, until you realized it was dark, and you were in the forest, and you were scared. you couldn't help but start to cry, and that's where geto found you.

"are you lost?"

sniffling, you peered up at the dark haired boy, whose soft brown eyes filled with a sort of concern. "y-yeah," you hiccupped, and geto offers up a gentle smile. "it's okay, i know the way back."

and so, you'd taken his hand, let him tug you out of the creek bed, and lead you back toward the house that still didn't quite feel like home. you'd learn, his name was suguru. suguru geto, and wherever suguru geto was, satoru gojo was never too far behind (although you didn't know that, yet).

"you crying?"

you'd let out a startled yelp, still clinging to suguru's hand, twisting to look at the other boy who was staring at you with unrestrained curiosity. even at the age of six, you found him beautiful, with the piercing blue of his eyes, and the soft white down of his hair, even as he mocked you. satoru hadn't known how else to express the sort of silent jealousy that had torn its way through his chest once he saw you holding suguru's hand.

the two of you bickered, all the way back until they left you at your front door, much to suguru's displeasure. yet satoru was beaming; nobody but suguru and shoko dared to speak to him that way. he was too young to understand the way his heart seemed to churn every moment he saw you after .

later, you would meet shoko ieiri, who instantly took a liking to you, defending you with the stubbornness of an older sister you never had.

later, you would realize just how beautiful suguru and satoru were, as they grew. you were the one who pierced suguru's ears (a decision made at 1am in his basement), who bought satoru his first eyeshadow palette (his parents would have died if they'd ever see him use it). and it was eventually you who brought them into music, as you stared up at the ceiling of suguru's basement. the lights grew hazy as you blinked up at them, empty bottles of stolen beer surround you. suguru and shoko were busy smoking a pack of (also stolen) cigarettes, and satoru was on his phone.

"what if we like. made a band?"

you were only 16, and dreamed of leaving the small town you'd moved to. the temporary stay had turned permanent after your grandmother had inevitably passed. shoko immediately snorted. "i love you, but i can't sing for shit."

but you were persistent. you thrifted an old guitar that you gave to suguru as a birthday present, encouraged satoru's angelic singing.

you should have known they would outgrow you.

you're 21 now, still living in the old house, taking care of your parents. the dreams you'd had years ago turned into ash in your mouth. even shoko had left, off to pursue medical school.

you can't stomach looking at the news anymore. satoru has broken into the idol industry, creating equal amounts of chart toppers and scandals. an idol like that only comes once every one hundred years, they say. with the way he moves, the way he acts, you're inclined to believe it.

(when you watch him for the first time, on some variety show, you see him, see the way they've done his makeup, and you're brought back to sitting on the couch, telling him to stop moving or he'll mess up the eyeshadow you attempting to apply. you wonder if his parents were furious at the decision. you wonder where the eyeshadow palette you gave him went. did he take it with him before he left for good? bile rises heavy in your throat, and you shut off the television, unable to stomach it any longer.)

the radio is equally as traitorous. you know suguru has been dominating the indie charts, to the point where it's simply suguru and satoru competing against each other. you hate how whenever you go to the local bakery, you can hear his voice again playing through the speakers. hate how when you make the long drive to pick up your parents' medicine, how you can hear him through your car's speakers. it feels intimate in a way that you cannot bear.

(still, you hear the guitar and remember the look in his eyes when you gifted him the one you'd found in the thrift store. suguru had treated it reverently, telling you with an earnest sort of smile that, "the first song i write will be for you." he's traded out acoustics for rock. he has no need for that guitar anymore, you think absentmindedly. just like he no longer needed you.)

but what you don't know is that every time satoru's makeup artist gets to his eyes, he has to keep them firmly shut or else he'd burst into tears. she didn't do it like you. she never would. every time he steps onto the stage, he looks for you, though he knows he'll never find you. it never stops him from looking. how he sings his heart out in the hopes you'll hear him, unaware that despite his popularity, you avoid his music like it's deadly.

what you don't know is that every time suguru writes, he realizes how he lied to you. "the first song i'll write will be for you," he remembers, and yet now every song he writes is about you. now, girls he doesn't even know, screams his name, screams along to his songs that he wrote for you. they pretend that they're the girl who was left behind, the girl that he's never stopped loving.

(he'll never forget the way your hand fit into his, how even at the age of six he knew that you were the only one who ever had his heart along with satoru)

how on days he misses you particularly badly, the piercings you'd given him burns. he writes his love into his music, the music that you shut off every time you hear it come on the radio.

it changes nothing, if they come back, you tell yourself. suguru and satoru have each other. they don't need you.

but one day they do come back, come back for you, and it changes everything.

Baby Daddy!Logan thoughts

Wolverine x AFAB! reader

a/n: go into all of my x-men fics n stuff with canon as a mere suggestion :) this one's pretty ok,but yk. For future reference.

contents: fluff, girl dad!Logan,a kid b4 marriage(accidental but wanted),slight angst sprinkled in,lightly suggestive in one bit but it's not full nsfw or anything

🌸 Logan didn't mean to get you pregnant and he was honestly upset when you first found out. He was happy for you,bc you wanted kids but he didn't think he deserved to be a father.

🌸 Once he decided he was sticking around (because let's be honest,there was some part of him that thought leaving so you could find someone better was the move) he's very attentive.

🌸and I'm not just talking "oh,he goes to every check up and rubs your feet" I'm talking he will hike ten miles in the snow at 2 a.m if you're craving something specific and will return with a smile on his face because yeah,that was tough but you're growing a kid,which is harder.

🌸really wanted you to have a home birth,mainly because he doesn't trust medical situations,especially if you and the baby are also mutants. (and if you still do it at the hospital,he is fucking VIGILANT. He's watching every fucking thing that happens like a hawk.)

🌸you have a girl ofc

🌸he's never really been around kids this little,so for a long time he doesn't know what to do with her.

🌸he uses Jean's Facebook to look at parenting tips(he later learns this is not the greatest source),and consequentially ends up buying a ton of stuff that your daughter is too young to even need off Marketplace (bikes,clothes meant for much older kids,rain boots,jungle gym,etc.)

🌸he hates!! Hates!! those little tutus that seem to be on every little girl onesie, he thinks the tulle is scratchy and how on earth could someone subject their baby to that?

🌸a lot of the clothes your daughter winds up wearing are pretty gender neutral and frequently thrifted or bought from small businesses. Logan says this is because modern,mainstream baby clothes are "Down right fucking hideous,who designs this shit?"

🌸he makes some of her toys. A small set of wooden blocks here, a patchy ugly teddy bear there. He just doesn't love the unnaturally bright colors and loud noises that most baby toys come with,plus,he's got a lot of affection he doesn't know what to do with.

🌸hates late night diaper changes with a passion. He only just started sleeping without nightmares,and the baby won't even let him get a full 8 hours?? He takes all of them though,because "you do the more important stuff"

🌸big fan of the way your appearance changed,btw. I personally think he's always been the type to find stretch marks and some squish attractive,but the fact that these are from you growing his little girl makes it all the more beautiful.

🌸he is not,however,a fan of having to wait until you're healed up for bedroom stuff. He can do it, he's not an animal,but you're just so fucking gorgeous and he's so fucking happy. But,your health comes first, and he's not so stupid as to think he knows better than you on this.

🌸he doesn't quit smoking,but does at least start going outside and wearing a different jacket when he does it. He always washes his hands and face after he's done before he does anything near the baby.

🌸since this is *my* personal x-men canon, we're going to say that Laura is around the mansion somewhere and is not overly hyped about the baby sister. She's a little possessive over her dad,as some little girls are. (She'll get over it soon,especially once the baby is old enough to play with)

🌸Logan takes the baby on adventures once she's old enough to not get sick over everything. He'll pack a bag and disappear with Laura and the baby for a few hours,with very little explanation, and come back with a snoring toddler and a 10 year old covered in mud.

🌸he's happy that this kid has his mutation in it's organic form,instead of being injected with metal. however,it does make her stick out a bit visually. (she begins to display it at around age 11,with claws that aren't super sharp at all compared to Logan and Laura)

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

ok so that's it lolsies. Lmk if you want anything else with this idea or any specific scenarios.

Jason Todd Headcanons

just a few thoughts that help inform the way i write this doof. it's linked below as well, but check out jason's spotify wrapped if you have a minute! ;-)

Samsung User

Jason says he likes his coffee dark, but secretly orders flavored lattes (see that one Hozier photo)

Puts cinnamon in his coffee grounds

He may have good taste in books, but he's got shit taste in movies

Loves a few basic safe picks - Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, things you might expect from someone like him

But his "Watch Again" list is all cheesy action movies and wacky comedies. Mark Wahlberg appears a little too often.

Doesn’t watch a lot of television, but sometimes likes to fall asleep to Family Guy or South Park

Has one ear piercing he got on a dare, done by either one of his brothers or one of the Outlaws

Good gift giver, but only wraps things in newspaper

Really terrible about remembering to take his medication

To the point that Dick and Tim got him one of those every day of the week pill boxes as a joke - but it's actually been incredibly helpful

Is a regular at his neighborhood corner store

To the point where the guys at the counter don’t even card him anymore

He's the type of man to sleep till noon, 1:30 on Sundays

If he's sharing a bed, he will snuggle up to you in his sleep

Snores

Unfortunately uses 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash

Has an high tolerance for weed, which annoys the hell out of him because he enjoys a joint but does not fuck with edibles

Every time he tries an edible, he stares at himself in the mirror for three hours and Does Not like it

Drunk Yapper

Beer Drinker

Doesn't always know his own strength

Not in the accidentally-break-someone's-arm type of way, but definitely in the sometimes-closes-the-door-too-hard-and-goes-"whoopsie daises!" type of way

Thankfully, he's become a pretty great handy man

Despite being a certified Car Guy, he did die at 15 and as a consequence is lowkey still learning how to drive a non-military grade car (in other words, he's a shit driver) (but it's okay, he sticks to the motorcycle and public transportation)

He's not a hugger, but he is a leaner

Thrifts all of his clothes

Prefers to get his books from local indie/second-hand/new & used bookstores

But still has a Barnes & Nobles membership card

His bookshelf is not organized what-so-ever; it's started to operate as more of a gun rack while his books get stacked underneath his bed (he tells himself that this will make him get through his To Be Read list faster)

His top played song of last year was “Kiss Me Through The Phone” by Soulja Boy

His music taste can be divided into three primary playlists; East Coast Rap, Metal, Ear Worms

Is the family expert on the Gotham underground music scene

He isn’t big on social media at all, but he has a Twitter with like 15 followers he uses to keep an eye on whoever

(and also to keep up with music and book updates)

He’s occasionally very funny on it. But just occasionally.

Just Online enough to know who Trisha Paytas is, not Online enough to know who ClubChalamet is

He got his GED once he joined the family again

and yes, they threw him a little party to celebrate

Has the BatChat on silent, but still checks it regularly

Terrible texter; you’ll either hear back from him immediately or in three weeks time

“srry didn’t see this”

(he did see this, he just got anxiety about it)

Has a lot of anxiety about smalls things like that

Especially when it comes to the Bat Family

He’s not always sure where he stands with everyone - if they like him, trust him, want him there

Paranoid that they’re nosy because they secretly think he’s going to go rogue again

Has to constantly remind himself that they’re just nosy the same way that he’s nosy - because this is literally a family of detectives

July 13th

Hello !! Working today, its been very..... rough to say the least. i woke up 15 minutes after my alarm and had to rush to get ready. I got to work and clocked in at 8:29 and people started ordering at 8:31, which we open at 9 but i had already taken one order so i couldn't turn other people away so I had to open it while making drinks and getting pastries and it was honestly a shit show for me. Finally, when i got all caught up with stuff, i noticed i was on my period and i DIDN'T have a tampon. I was so annoyed and I literally asked every single girl that came in if they had one and after two hours i finally got one. I also didn't have my medication in my purse, so my brain is all over the place and i literally cant think at all. I really just want to day to be over. Mainly I just want to leave work. I want to go home and take a hot ass bath, and relax, and take a nap. But im still here for a good five hours.. Not to mention im alone so i have no one to talk to or anything other then the customers and that sucks ass lol. Anyways I also kinda want to go thrifting. i saw this girl on instagram post her haul and im now craving thrifting and buying a bunch of cute shit that i don't need so maybe ill do that after work because theres a goodwill thats basically next door to my work and get a hella discount so i might as well right? right? Lmao idk i want to get more decor for my bedroom and unique little trinkets for my shelves and shit. So wish me luck when i go do that, might post a update if I find anything worth a update.

Thank you guys for listening to my useless rants and posts i truly love it tho. Have a fantastic day smooch smooch!

[weregreatatcrime]

Anyways *deep breath* thanks @omalahsocs for making me think SO MUCH about this bcz of the prompt during stream. It's very late and I'm tired but I want to get the concepts down before I lay down and presumably forget all about it

So heres some Trans Girl Noctis ideas to ruminate on

I've said it before I'll say it again: her sculpted shoulders are one of her FAVORITE parts of herself and she is PERMANENTLY salty it means struggling to find dresses and blouses that fit

(Thanks to omalah) A? Corset?? You're galaxy brained

Corsets are just Gender it doesn't matter what the gender IS they're just Gender and wonderful. Tiss isn't sure about them at first but then she tries one on and it's like. A back brace that pushes her pecs up. She looks hot as FUCK

I'm probably going to draw this at some point gfdi

All of the chocobros are supportive in their own ways but absolutely nothing compared to how feral Prompto is. He hears a misgender and he is about to Throw Down. He hears "His Majesty" and Prompto is pulling out a gun

He goes through all of Tiss's mail and crosses out everything addressed Incorrectly with a sort of manic glee that Ignis doesn't even dare stop him

Ignis is so supportive in an Ignis way. He does All the research. He's that ally that knows more about trans experiences through research than most trans people do from personal experience. While they can't exactly do much for her transition medically on the road and technically being fugitives (and she's not overly concerned either) he still goes over every single potential option she has just so she Knows

Ignis is very annoyed that they actually Do Not Have The Funds to help Noctis like, socially transition in terms of clothing and jewelry and presentation. Tiss has to inform him that she is still perfectly happy dressing masc on the regular because they are, in fact, war fugitives and no, she does NOT need a new wardrobe

He still finds little ways to help her feel a little fem. Ignis is the one who starts to paint her nails for her and will on occasion just hand her a hair clip or small bits of jewelry she's not sure how he got

If Ignis ever gets the chance to find Noctis feminine formal ware he just about has a heart attack because instead of her usual grumping and groaning about how stupid formal wear is she is actually very tentatively excited. She definitely wants to wear the pretty dresses, Iggy. She doesn't UNDERSTAND a lot about fashion and shit but going over dozens of pretty dresses is a million times funner than going over dozens of suits.

She still gets bored after like an hour. But that's an hour of Noctis going through CLOTHES. Ignis is taking so many notes

Gladio isn't very like outwardly supportive or anything but he is so good at being the scariest thing in the room. He will Loom behind her and make people think twice about talking shit

He is the one who has to nearly tackle Prompto from trying to attack people at the SLIGHTEST hint of bigotry

He's not good at fancy shit. But while they're on the road, living out of the armiger and clothes bought from thrift stores and hunter depots, Gladio helps resize dresses and shirts and everything that won't fit her

He's not the one who'll give a nice pep talk or comfort her when she's down but he WILL be the first to pull her aside and ask very seriously if she needs a hug

Being the one and only one of them with a living female family member, Gladio also is the resident "Iris does X girly thing, if that helps?"

The day that Prompto and Noctis wear matching skirts Gladio calls them fucking ridiculous, ruffles their hair, and threatens to lock them in a closet together

[detectivehole]

hey detective how do i stop getting bored with everything i do? i can't seem to do anything anymore and it's messing with my head so badly

unfortunately anon this is a textbook symptom of depression, which can effect anyone any time. speaking from personal experience, you want to get the jump on this as soon as you can, and i advise speaking to someone you trust about this experience and seeking medical/professional intervention, as well as researching self help methods. that's all corny, i know, but they can work. depression isn't all sadness and melancholy, a lot or even all of it is unending boredom, and personally ive always found the boredom more agonizing then the sadness

or maybe it's not depression, but better safe than sorry

in the meantime, chasing little highs to keep things bearable is the best method imo, even if it's hard. some suggestions:

create a list of artsy/shitty movies to work through

smoke weed (avoid booze)

create a charcuterie board as fancy or as trashy as your heart desires (best done in conjunction with the weed)

force yourself to revisit something you were obsessed with as a child

take a weekend vacation to a city that's only an hour away

emulate some retro games

waste some disposable cash on a very specific, very out of character thrifted outfit, and wear it in public

play free online games with your friends

play free online games alone

go down a youtube rabbit hole

box dye your hair a color you think is ugly, to keep things interesting. if you hate it, you can dye it black or cut it off. it'll grow back probably

get really into one niche of music to the point where its obnoxious

look through one of the countless free archives online and start a personally curated collection (i like to go through gif cities and just download shit i like)

start a new side blog cataloging something no one cares about. like sidewalk plants, or clouds that look like clouds. squirrels you see

do all of these or none of them or whatever. it's up to you. just remember that nothing is a waste of time because the time is gonna pass anyway. if you do them, and still none of them interest you, you can at least say you did them, and that you were trying to dig yourself from out of this rut. plus they make good conversation pieces

getting through life when everything feels like nothing is about leaning into the absurd and forcing yourself to do things anyway- at least if everything's boring, you have no excuse not to try something new. worst it could be is... still boring. if it's bad at least that's an emotion to feel, and if it's good that's a win

Any frugal living tips? Know any affordable frocery stores?

Shop at grocery stores like Food Basics and No Frills. Those are Canadian Bargain stores, idk what they have in other parts of the world.

Live by what's on sale to the best of your abilities; meat, produce, dairy, canned goods, and household supplies like cleaners, toilet paper, and laundry detergent.

Learn to recognize a good deal. If you have a 6 pack of toilet paper for $5 and a ten pack of toilet paper for $7, the ten pack is actually cheaper in the long run because it has 4 more rolls for only $2 more. This goes for things like shoes and winter coats too, a more expensive pair of shoes or a more expensive coat is more likely to last you longer and keep you more protected than the cheap ones you can get at Walmart.

Speaking of coats, check your local thrift stores, they usually have some good deals on outerwear that will keep you warm without breaking your bank. If you live in a cold area DO NOT skip out on buying protective gear unless it's absolutely necessary. Like "I will end up homeless if I don't spend put this money towards rent" necessary. Giving yourself hypothermia or frostbite is not going to help you.

Gloves and hats at the dollar store are cheap, buy a few pairs and wear them in layers. The quality is shit but it's better than nothing.

Never walk by change on the ground. Nickles, dimes, and quarters add up more quickly than you realize, put them in your pocket, keep them in a jar, and once a week, count them and take them to the back to be traded for bigger bills or deposited.

Never underestimate the same convenience of a slow cooker or insta pot. They can cook delicious meals for you all day while you're at work and then you can have leftovers and very few dishes to clean. Check Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, EBay, and thrift shops for second hand ones, those are typically cheaper.

If you are on medication like antidepressants, insulin, or any other medication to manage a chronic condition, and you're having financial struggles that make it hard to afford, call your doctor and tell them, or talk to your pharmacist. They may have a No Name brand that's cheaper or they can point you in the direction of a service that will get you your medication free or for much cheaper. DO NOT stop taking your medication against doctors orders.

Do not buy cans that are dented, popped, cracked, or otherwise damaged. That's how you get botulism. Same goes for jars that have bloated lids. You aren't saving anything but making yourself sick on bad food.

Demo’s room generally doubles as his workshop, more or less, since for some reason Engie and Medic tend to get priority in taking over the big flex rooms in the abandoned factories and half-demolished military stations they get shoved into for every new battle-site. Which is not ideal, but fine, and it saves him the walk, which is helpful when it’s nighttime and he’s getting a little too in his own head and his hands are buzzing and if he doesn’t do something right now he might just explode himself… and it’s just a short crawl out of bed, to the big antique worktable he makes a grand effort of carting from base-to-base, usually propped up against the wall farthest from anything he doesn’t want to cover in ash and various other highly combustible powders. On this desk is about thirty abandoned projects, two or three barely-not-abandoned ones, and a helpful dosage of semi-useless garbage; lucky trinkets, bottles, half-burnt volumes on chemistry and physics he borrowed from Engie and doesn’t have the guts to return, bottles, bottles. There’s a relatively clear half-moon around the bench, size varying based on the room, and then the rest of the room closes in.

It doesn’t matter how big it is; Demo has the rare talent make any space feel like a labyrinth if he has access to enough thrift-store antiques, which if he drives far enough, he will. Ash-covered tables, assorted suits of armor, grandfather clocks and couches cluster around what could barely be described as exceedingly narrow corridors of space, every flat surface in the room covered in bizarre statues, presumably haunted amulets and snowglobes, seashells and nerd shit action figures, a tiny useless trinket borrowed from everywhere he’s ever visited; ancient jade figurines, vials of mysterious powder, fantasy playing cards. All painstakingly arranged in a way only remotely decipherable to himself, of course; delicately balanced so a spare gust of wind could send just about everything in the room careening at once to the floors, but that’s alright, he seems to manage. The walls are covered in thrift-store paintings and weapon racks, the favorites of his swords hung proudly above the chaos, the rest shoved haphazardly in a golf bag under the singing fish. A grand bookshelf sits off to one side, more expensive-looking than anything else and painstakingly taken to every location the mercs visit, filled with ancient history volumes, spellbooks, and exceedingly dense fantasy novels.

It’s unnavigable to anyone besides esoteric, overwhelmingly sentimental Tavish DeGroot. It’s built-in defense against intruders until Scout tumbles in with begrudging permission and accidentally sets free about six vengeful ancestral spirits from various shattered vases and amulets with an unfortunately placed sweep of the arm. It’s probably not representative of a healthy mental state. He makes it work

TRANS MALE PASSING PROTIPS

Targeted specifically at trans men who have not begun medical transition, but for anyone. Of course, this is just what works for me and everyone is different.

Shorts that fall mid thigh and are baggy can work really well to make a more masculine figure. This is a trendy style with cis men, and if they are looser on your thighs you can look more rectangular. Basketball shorts are always fine, but for bigger people can end up sticking to your thighs and making you look like a masc lesbian. Looking like a masc lesbian is so so common guys this is what we are trying to avoid. See here for reference

2. WALK WITH YOUR SHOULDERS. Walk like your shoulders are the widest part of your body. Move them kinda forward and backward. Watch a video of a man walking next to a woman for context on what I mean. Women walk with their hips, and it makes all the difference for you in someone's head. Practice in the mirror before doing it so you don't look like a fool.

3. Hair!!!! I know you guys don't want to let go of the 2020 fluffy boi haircut and that is ok. If you don't want a skin fade short haircut, there are other options. Also, if you belong to a subculture, like punk/emo/whatever else there is, look at male styles as it can be very different than what is normally accepted ( for example, men have long hair in metal subculture, you can style it like them). In general, hair is very meticulous, as for some people too short is masc lesbian and too long is woman.

This kind of hair can do wonders. For men of color/curly hair people, if you are not out locs are a very good option as they are typically read as masculine but are gender neutral. Afros, braids, even skin fades with a lot of hair at the top can read feminine. Another style option could be short cornrows that end at the neck, twists, or a fade with less hair at the top like this.

I am not black, so I cannot speak for how this would be read in a black community, but this is how, from my experience, I would view the hairstyles. Sorry if this is not appropriate. Also, I am not here to tell you not to dye your hair. It can work if you style it with masculine clothes and are dressed in a specific style like emo or scene or something. Do what you will with that.

4. If there is ANY peach fuzz on your face, make the most of it. I know I have high testosterone levels naturally, so I grow facial hair a little, but if there is enough to dye it, dye it. If there is like barely any, if its not visible in the mirror if you're really looking (not INSPECTING), it's probably not worth it, and that is fine. use your judgement, and if it is not enough, just shave it. It's better to look clean shaven than desperate for face hair. Eyebrows, mustache hair, sideburns can all be darkened with eyeshadow, brow brushes, and just for men beard dye.

5. LAYERS. I know you guys have seen this one before. Flannels, button ups over black t-shirts, zip up hoodies. It might get a little hot, but it covers your sweat stains anyways. I promise guys it helps so much with shoulders, hips, boobs, it makes you look more masculine. Don't get that ugly ass red and black checkered one though. Think if you would see a masc lesbian wearing it and use your best judgement. I heart layers.

6. Pants. Woah. Pants. I HATE pants I know you fat trans men get me. Old navy women's jeans...and you guys won't like this one...are actually pretty good. SPECIFICALLY the sky high wide leg ones. Get those a size up and cuff them, wear them low on your waist, perfect. Other than that, jeans are shit. I don't really waste my time with men's pants anymore because of my hips but cargos are great, baggy sweats with the band at the bottom are great, PJ pants good, dress pants are a struggle but I've heard dickies work well for people with a smaller body. Not sure though. My tactic is I go to a thrift store for hours and try on all their pants, then find similar ones online or take pictures of the brand for the ones I like and find more.

7. Accessories and jewelry. Iffy. Anything you could describe as dainty, if it's not a family thing or important to you, probably not. Friendship bracelets are good, pendants are good, earrings depends on where you are and what you are wearing. Studs in men are common where I am, so I wear them. Observe the cis men at your disposal. Accessories, bags don't really matter unless they're like the strawberry hot topic mini bags. Don't get those at all those are fugly. Mini bags are not great in general, just better to get something else. Watches are heavily loved here they look very male and also you have the time always even a cheap watch is fine just not a woman's watch. It has to be a men's watch. You can tell when it is a woman's watch don't get those. Nail polish is fine no one cares, it's more popular now with boys. Especially if you're a little girly pop already. Of course that also depends on your environment.

8. Stance. Sitting with your ankle on your knee is comfortable and way more masculine than crossing your legs. Confidence. Fake it until you make it because cis men are so arrogant guys. This is what I mean btw

9. Don't be afraid of being feminine. Don't give up being yourself in order to be masculine. Your happiness matters the most. Love you bye, I'll update this if I think of anything else.

Wardrobe thrifting is complete - now I just need to go through all of my old shit and decide what’s staying.

And, of course, crochet a whole bunch of stuff to wear too 👀

After 6 years of being on a ✨ fitness journey ✨ post-medication, and it never being worthwhile to get clothes I actually really like, I’m SO stoked that I can finally get shit I’m enthusiastic about, and feel hot in it 💜

The only loser here is my brother, who asked how he’s going to explain to people that his sister doesn’t know what century it is.

[hyperfixated-on-cod]

Some random Soap headcanons bc y’all seemed to love my post about Price yesterday🤭

Again, most of these will be NSFW, so MDNI🔞

(Also my asks are open for headcanon requests💜)

This man is so severely ADHD. Like, he’s medicated because of his job but as someone who’s also medicated for ADHD, that shit only goes so far. His chaotic energy gets so much worse when he’s unmedicated for whatever reason and he tries to be so careful about making sure that doesn’t happen while he’s working.

He’ll wake you up at 3am with a plate of cookies in his hand, fresh out of the oven, saying “Do you want a cookie?” very casually as if it’s not literally 3am.

Uses his big puppy dog eyes to his advantage. Anytime you’re like upset with him or something he just looks at you like 🥺 and goes “but but but🥺”

Soap may not be the youngest of the group, but he sure as hell acts like it. To put it into perspective, he’s the younger sibling who never gets in trouble.

He has a lot of… things. Trinkets. If he found a thing and he liked it, he brings it home and he has a shelf just for his trinkets. Cool rocks, old toys from a thrift store, a piece of shiny broken glass…

When going to the beach, he brings a bag just for seashells and sand dollars, and will ask to get ice cream every 5 minutes.

If you’ve been apart for awhile, he WILL run and jump into your arms, no he does not care if you’re smaller than him. He will expect you to catch him.

NSFW

He growls when he is about to cum, most of the time.

Call him “Johnny” when you’re jerking him off. Trust me.

If any single one of these men are a switch, it’s Soap.

MASSIVE praise kink, sometimes in a submissive way (e.g. calling him a good boy while he whimpers in your ear), sometimes in a more dominant way (e.g. “you’re doing so good for me, Johnny,” while he pounds you into oblivion).

Really loves playful wrestling that turns into having sex.

If you’re AMAB and he’s feeling submissive, Soap is such a cumwhore.

Loves using toys on you and himself.

If you have to be apart for a period of time for whatever reason, he refuses to let himself cum until he sees you again. It’s not a rule you two make for him, he just chooses not to do it because he wants to save it for you.

The only person he’ll share you with is Ghost and I think we all know why😂

Meet the new couple that has had me in a chokehold XD and distracted me in the best possible way

The Medic - Foxing

Jupiter Sharr and Kellen Clarke.... was my god... The roomie @fl0ptrait GIFTED him to me. She was like... mind you.. nonchalant at that too >.> "you can have jeans jacket guy" and I'm like "Ginger??" she goes "Nope" sends the picture of this mother fucker and once again I had all the emotions come over me. when she first made him and showed me him I was OBSESSED and I mean screaming into my phone XD SO WHEN SHE SAID I COULD HAVE HIM! BOY AM I BRAGGING!!!! I GET THIS HANDSOME SEXY SMUG FUCK IN MY GAME!

so i had to make him a Girlie who is fucking kinda a little meanie XD She her ea traits are hot-headed, a Dance machine, and a writer. She has a lot of extra traits, if you want to know you can ask but I'm moving on XD Aspiration is Becoming Versatile Dancer. her dream was to be a ballerina but shifted it towards a new found passion of hers which was learn all types of different dances. Every other day Jupiter teaches a dance class (juju goes to this dance class) and also on weekends works at the local diner. (amie works there too XD) . when she is not mean mugging you or being the most cutest fucking pain in Kellan's ass (he loves it)(she's a brat... and Roomie and I say he is a brat tamer... because she told me something about him... mmmm... so this mother fucker will literally destroy you but whisper good girl into your ear....*combust* i love that shit, anyway moving on) she is writing poetry, it is actually the way she met Kellen. He has the musician trait so i believe he was doing an open mic or was at an open mic show, Saw her, and probably attempted for it to just be a fun little thing, which i believe she did too, But they hit it off. She has a mouth on her which he really enjoys, she headstrong, bratty, and will kick your ass..

But yeah they hit it off, Not just sexually but they are like "We are truly best friends with all the benefits" type shit. (They took on the jokester dynamic on their own XD)vBut yeah, so now sometimes they do slam poetry together, they are very adventurous together from concerts, thrifting, festivals and once a month tradition of "try new food", one of their favorite activities is packing a backpack full of snacks, blankets, a speaker, sometimes Kellen brings his ukelele, and Jupiter with her notebook. find a spot in nature and lay around, or see what new shit around town they can find. including taking all the pictures together XD They really use the media as their personal photo album.. they have a couples Instagram. (the roomie and I came to this conclusion) which they also use as their personal. they do not see the point of having multiple when they could be doing anything else besides switching back and forth between accounts.... literally. anything else. Concerts, festivals, once a month "try new food" tradition.

(and that lets me fuck around with templates and shit. if your wondering her collar says fuck me and her shirt says "Sluts Horny girls under tremendous stressed ")

alright done. if you read all of that, you're awesome, and thanks for coming to my TED talk XD

Harryo Duncan.

he/him.

TW : mention of bullying, (cuteness overload)! ! !

• "Ah, welcome back ! I was actually thinking about you ! ... Not like– wait, not like that– I was– like, I found a book you might like so, uh–"

• hides behind the shelves when people he doesn't know enter the library.

• the biggest studio ghibli fan. owns tons of goodies.

• always wearing dr. martens because he thinks it makes him look cool :) (still a cutie patootie)

• for the longest time, you thought his name was "Duncan" because that's what's on his little library card. When you two get close, he tells you his actual name— he plays nervously with the fabric of his shirt, a blushing mess when he whispers : ".....Harryo. My, uh... You can call me Harryo. I– I'd like it if you called me by my name. Please."

• gets along with Angela, the actual official librarian, his supervisor. They're very close. (he still calls her Mrs. Pierce, though.)

• addicted to cinnamon rolls. One day, you brought him some to thank him for all the help he gives you and he pretty much melted on the spot. You swear you saw him stare at the baked goods with stars in his eyes and honestly, he looked at you the same way the whole day too–

• talented violinist. He's very shy (no shit) about it though; you only learn about this when he invites you to his place for the first time. You see a violin in a corner of his room and suddenly, he's blushing again, rubbing his neck awkwardly and telling you about the numerous competitions he won when he was younger. He started playing when he was 9.

• 6'4 and all limbs, basically. You started calling him "slenderman" at some point and it always makes him grin like an idiot. <3

• despite being so tall, he feels very petite somehow? He's just so delicate and sweet, he's just– Must protect at all costs! ! !

• his body is always cold, especially his hands, no matter the weather and season. He gets a bit worried when you hold his hand for this reason; what if it's uncomfortable for you? what if HE makes you cold? When you hold his hand in yours though, he gets all flustered and cute.

• "Would you mind staying like that a little longer ? I like your warmth... a lot."

• so soft-spoken, it's insane.

• reads whenever he's free. He likes any kind of book but, his favorites will always be love stories and poetry.

• very studious. He was a straight A student.

• takes medication for his (social) anxiety. Getting this place as an intern and interacting with people all day... it's a big deal. Even though he doesn't have the best self-esteem, he knows he's doing good. doing better.

• used to be bullied in middle school. (hahaha awkward introverts are so ridiculous (ew))

• cries very easily when he's happy. Absolutely stoic when he's sad, upset.

• has a terrible handwriting, but still leaves you cute little notes here and there. (like "i think you'll like this one!" on a piece of paper glued to the book he slides to you in silence or "see you later, pretty" on your mirror after he spent the night at your place and left early in the morning to go to work.)

• gets distracted pretty easily.

• "Sorry... uh... sorry, you were saying ? I just– I was looking at your eyes and like, they're really like this one semi-precious stone. You know, the beautiful one, how's it called–"

• a big fan of vinyls. Has a huge collection at his place. He regularly goes to thrift stores to buy old, rare ones.

• One day, you say you want to accompany him and he just. he just loses his cool. suddenly, he doesn't know how to act anymore, and he's blushing so much, and his heart his racing, and he bites on his bottom lip and–

• hides his flustered face in his palms when you call him cute. ;)

• “I’ll be the love interest of your romance for as long as you’ll let me be. I wouldn’t know how to exist outside of your book anymore… I don’t want to.”

• very timid and nervous about physical touch but, once it's inserted in your relationship, he's sooooo down for it. He's definitely a hugger. always wants to hold hands too though he's too shy to say it; you often catch him staring at your palms.

• his glasses slide on his nose all the time, and it's absolutely adorable.

• talks with his hands.

• favorite color : beige. His eyes get so soft whenever you wear this color; he looks at you like you're the most comforting thing he's ever seen... because you are.

• very humble about it, but is an amazing cook! He likes to feed you to show his love. He'll prepare you some hot tea in your favorite mug, a heart-shaped pizza for dinner, pack your lunch before you guys go out for the day.

• kind of awkward with pda. Like he won't french kiss you in public, but if you ever manage to steal a little kiss before you part ways in front of the library, his skin will go crimson and he'll whisper a high-pitched "love you, bye", then run to hide in the nearest aisle.

• likes to be the little spoon.

• whimpers and whines. like, a lot.

• super super close to his mom. He calls her every day! She's his bestie. He doesn't talk to his dad; he hasn't been around since he was born.

• talks about you ALL THE TIME when you're not around. His mom and Mrs. Pierce know everything about you before they even meet you.

• could sleep anywhere. Some stairs, a public bench, the floor, against a shelf... Sometimes, he starts falling asleep, his head lowering, then he suddenly snaps his eyes back open. He looks left and right, embarrassed as hell, praying that nobody saw him.

• hates horror movies. He hates them.

• Yep, you guessed it, he's... a scaredy-cat.

• the only person you know who actually wears a tie every day.

• too handsome for his own good. There are always some people admiring and whispering about him and he has absolutely NO CLUE.

• doesn't like talking to people, really... you're the only exception. He loves talking to you.

• likes to drink, but very much a lightweight.

• becomes extroverted when he's drunk lmao.

• has dimples. They're so powerful– they go crazy when he's chewing, almost like flashing lights.

• love language? making playlists. (quality time - just sitting in silence with you honestly; he’ll be so happy he won’t stop smiling to himself. gift giving - but it’s like…. books, cute rocks he found on his way to work, flowers, weird little drawings, pretty sea shells. . .)

• probably the most awkward guy you'll ever meet, but he's twice as charming.

• "Hey, I hope our book never knows an end. I want to write sweet nothings with you forever."

The Post-Bisalp Diaries, Part Two: Survival Of The Tubeless

Happy Two Week Anniversary of me noping the fallopes!

When I was reading up on how others managed post-Bisalp before my own surgery, I saw suggestions like "take Gas-X for bloating", "use stool softeners so you don't 'strain' yourself", "have a heating pad for the shoulder pain", and so forth. They sounded helpful, and it was a good thing I had that stuff already on hand (for other reasons).

That said, here's what really helped me out during my recovery. ***DISCLAIMER*** Your mileage may vary, all bodies are different, and I sure as shit am no doctor or medical practitioner!

*Turmeric-Curcumin Pills*

It's what I first turn to when I get crap like PMS cramps or headaches. I do have ibuprofen on hand, but it's more of a last resort remedy for me. The ones I've been taking post-surgery are Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme, but I also have Terry Naturally's Curamin (regular strength) pills.

*CBD Stuff*

Thank goodness I live in a state where CBD products are legal to own. Tinctures and gummies, particularly the ones from Lazarus Naturals, have been a godsend.

*Probiotics*

I still took probiotics pre-surgery, albeit in food form (yogurt, sauerkraut, etc.) since I couldn't have supplements then. When I learned that I was given antibiotics during my surgery, I knew I needed to take probiotics later in the day; it's what balances out your digestive system after the antibiotics fuck with it. Maybe it could explain why, even if my appetite was reduced for the first few days, I didn't have bad gas. I took a high-dose probiotic (think the pills with over 40+billion cultures) in the first week, then, for the second week, went down to probiotics with no more than 25 billion cultures. And some low-sugar yogurt.

*Pedialyte Pops*

Like with many others who had a Bisalp, sore throat is a common post-surgery symptom. (It's the result of having a breathing tube down your throat during the procedure.) Though I had regular popsicles on hand, I ended up buying Pedialyte Freezer Pops as well as they also have electrolytes in them. And they're also fairly low sugar!

*Thrift Stores*

So I had to change up my wardrobe a bit for my recovery. A month leading up to my surgery, I got some jumpsuits, loose, high waisted pants with a comfortable waistband, slip-in shoes so I don't have to bend over and tie my shoes, and even a bed rest pillow in case I felt like a lazy-ass. Thanks to thrift stores, I got all that for a bargain. Who the fuck needs Wal-Mart?

By the way, because of my need to be active, and me fighting the fatigue during the first few days of recovery, I didn't use that bed rest pillow. I guess I may need it down the road, and it only cost me $5.

*Eating Low-Carb, Minimally Processed Foods*

Having been on Keto for the past few years, the diet has not only helped me shed blubber, but I've become more active from it. I can't say if eating low-carb/sugar-free foods and minimally processed foods helped my body heal quicker, but, save for the first three days after surgery, I never felt sluggish in my recovery.

*A Decent Landlord & Loan Deferments*

OK, forget the physical aspects of my recovery; it's the financial aspects that took the real beating. I'm able to receive Short Term Disability while out from work (I do not work from home and my job is very physical), but waiting for the payments have become a pain in the clit. I'm still waiting for them, and it just happens to be a holiday weekend right now. Just my luck! So, I like to give a shout-out to my landlord who was cool with me underpaying my rent for this upcoming month, and the few loan companies who I have accounts with that were able to postpone my payments so I don't go so broke to where I need to sell my sterilized ass on the streets for a few bucks. (Like, literally a few bucks--it's the going rate for old millennial ass.)

Also, a friendly reminder that just because one is childfree doesn't mean they got deep pockets. Some of those "I got to vacation in Italy last week 'cause I got no kids!!!!" posts you see on Reddit's Childfree subreddit are likely made-up as hell (it's Reddit, after all). Now that I think about it, I think I'm more of a WINK (What Income? No Kids) instead of a SINK at the moment.

A Few Things I Got/Have That I Didn't Need In The End...

--GasX pills (I was never really gassy, and they were the 99-Cent Store version as opposed to the name brand, so I didn't lose money on that)

--Shoulder/Heating Pad (others have suggested it, but I only used it just once and that was because it was a cold night)

--stool softeners (I think the probiotics helped me out with this one)

--ibuprofen (took it once and it fucked with me. I'm used to the 200mg pills, but 600mg per pill?! Fuck no!)

--prescribed oxycodone (didn't even open that shit)

And A Couple Things You Don't Need To Buy...

--disposable underwear (the hospital will provide you with as many pairs as you need. I never bled, thankfully, but I was still given a few pairs.)

--anti-nausea patch (another thing the hospital will give you, but only if you request it. I could've saved myself $6 from the pack of anti-nausea patches I bought on eBay! *punches air*)

*****

Again, what helped me out post-Bisalp may or may not help the next person in recovery. If there's one thing I highly recommend that will help the next person recover from a Bisalp smoothly, it's having plenty of money so you don't have to worry about financial shit like me.

**ETA: Tumblr told me this is my 100th post here. I'd celebrate but I also outed myself as a broke bitch in the post, so...
