Yo I love your work.. anyway can I request Val x Fem Reader when Reader is on their period and the rest is up to you (I’ll cry if you actually notice)

Hi Friend,

Thank you for sending in your request! I always notice and read a request- sometimes it just takes time for my brain to buzz.

Now I have written this before. The link is here:

Valentino x Reader (Period Pains)

That being said….

Here is another version! Think OTO reader and Val after they’re married. 

<3 Mandy

The bright red stains on my favorite pajama pants began the start of that cursed day. It was going to be one of those mornings that lasted all day. 

It didn’t help that I woke up alone, my husband off to do whatever it was he did in his studio. Vox and Velvette were working and me? I was by myself. Which, as I poured myself a cup of coffee and stirred in my creamer, I figured was better that way. 

I lifted the mug to my lips and took the first sip of what should have been a heavenly experience. Instead, I was met with the bitter taste of peppermint.  I spat it into the sink and went to set my mug down. Somehow I missed the counter and shards of ceramic splatted the floor. 

“Fuck!” I yelled across the empty flat. I grabbed a roll of paper towels and cleaned up the mess as quickly as I could, tossing the shards into the garbage. Housekeeping would be up later, but with how the day was already turning out, I didn’t want to risk stepping on a rouge shard. 

“Who the fuck puts peppermint into their coffee without mocha?” I growled aloud as I shoved the creamer back in the fridge. 

Of course, I knew the answer was Vox. As much as he pretended he only drank black coffee, those of us who lived with him knew his guilty pleasure. Random flavored coffee creamers that appeared in the fridge each time it was restocked. It was just my bad luck that I had grabbed the wrong one this morning. 

Shoving the thought of making another cup of coffee to the side, I jumped into the shower, willing the hot water to take away the cramps that slowly awakened with each movement of the day. Fuck, there were some days I hated being a girl. 

But, like all women, being on our period wasn’t an excuse to miss work. Going to see Velvette in her studio was always an option, but just the thought of being touched by another being made me annoyed. I gingerly dressed myself and pulled my hair up into a bun. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I grumbled as I tried to hide the tiny whiteheads that appeared overnight with a strong dose of foundation. 

“Okay, I can do this,” I said to my reflection as I swallowed down several advil. “I got this.” 

Ten hours, eighteen phone calls and one ruined pair of underpants later, I stormed back upstairs to our apartment. 

“Babygirl, you’re home late,” Valentino’s voice rang out.

“I know, fuck,” I snapped without thought. The cramps, masked by the Advil I had taken this morning, left me both nauseous and crabby.  Every part of my body ached, and I could feel a headache starting to brew. I slammed the door behind me as I stripped off my outfit for the day. 

The bright red bloodstain on the back of my dress. I stared at it and without really knowing why, I burst into tears in the middle of my room. 

“Bebita?” Valentino’s voice came quietly from behind me. 

I felt him tug the dress from my hand and he wrapped his arms around me. I didn’t have to say a thing and instead laid my head on his chest as I sobbed. 

“Nothing a little stain remover can’t take out,” he said soothingly. “It’s alright. Why don’t you get in the shower? I’ll get your pjs and…”

“My two favorite ones are wrecked,” I choked out softly. “I bled all over the ones this morning, and my backups have a hole in them and…”

He pressed a finger to my lip and kissed my forehead. “Just let me figure it out while you go shower, okay?” 

There was something about he way he said it that left me with a feeling of comfort. I disappeared into the shower and by the time I came out, he was leaning against the bathroom sink, waiting. He handed me a towel and watched as I wrapped it around myself. 

“I have a heating pad and a cup of tea ready for you in bed. Toast, if you’re hungry. Advil if you want it. And if you’re in the mood to cuddle, I’m here. If not, I can stay with you or give you space. Remote is yours either way.” He pointed to a pile of clothes. “Period underpants. Vel sent them up. And…wear my pjs tonight. They’ll be looser than anything you own.” 

“Thanks, Val,” I said softly. “I’m sorry I was such a bitch when I came in.”

He cracked a smile. “Mi amore, I don’t think you know the true meaning of that word. Come on out when you’re ready.” 

I watched the door close behind me and got dressed in the outfit he left for me. I settled into bed next to him and sipped the warm tea. 

“I love you Val,” I said after a few moments. 

“I love you too, bebita. Even when you’re cranky,” he replied lightly. “And I always will.”

~ My Skincare Routine ~

ANUA Heart Leaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

Okay, I’m sure most of us having probably heard of this product once or twice right? Upon my first time using it gunk, blackheads, and whiteheads that I didn’t even know I had came up due to this product. Overall it’s made my skin really smooth and clear so much so that it literally looks like i’m wearing a real life filter when I look into the mirror!

CERAVE Foaming Facial Cleanser

An amazing product through and through, you can never go wrong with this cleanser tbh. I was using the ANUA heart leaf foaming cleanser but it literally broke me out so bad, I think it’s because of the fragrance so I had to switch back to this one and it’s cleared up all of the breakouts.

ANUA Heart Leaf 77% Toner Pads

Hydrates my skin SOO well I always use just 2 pads and let them sit on my cheeks for a bit before applying it to my face entire face and neck but they’re so calming especially after i’ve had them in the fridge.

ANUA Heart Leaf 77% Soothing Toner

I may as well be using the whole line at this point.. but this toner has been blowing up for so long I just decided I had to buy it and give it a try, and oh my god how this product cleared my breakouts so so quickly. Such a good product to use when your breaking out it truly does a really good time soothing it.

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence

Yes i’m highly influenced I know! I’m so glad that I got this product, it’s like a holy grail for acne. This paired with the two toners is such a blessing, no seriously. This product aids in getting rid of bumps I had on my face especially on my forehead.

ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide serum

My faveee I can talk about this product for soo long. I’ve tried many serums but none come close to this one it’s such a good product even my mom started using it. The scent is amazing it smells exactly like peaches, after immediately applying this serum onto my face it gives such a nice dewy glow and helps brighten my face! Makes me feel like such a princess. Last Anua product I promise.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Moisturizer

They were not lying when they said glow.. Using this product gives you an INSTANT glow to your skin and the scent is so dreamy and perfect. I have not been using this product long and honestly besides the glowiness it gives and the yummy scent there’s not really anything special about it. And why is it so expensive..

LA ROCHE-POSAY Melt-In Milk Sunscreen 60

Such a nice sunscreen, leaves no white cast, is glowy but not to a point where it just looks greasy. Only problem I have with it is the packaging, it kinda like explodes or leaks? I don’t know if it’s the actual product itself or maybe just a error on my end but it gets really annoying sometimes but overall a really good choice of sunscreen!

LANEIGE Berry Lip Sleeping Mask

Yes as I said highly influenced… I always use this after finishing my skincare routine before i’m about to go to bed. It leaves my lips really moisturized and soft and smells amazing! At first I thought it would be the same as any other lip mask but it’s such a unique and nice consistency that I haven’t seen before in a lip mask.

Bakugou x Reader

Mood Song: kiss me more

Summary: The king of perfect skin gets what nobody thought was possible: a zit. Luckily, you had the tools to get his skin back to perfection, but he wasn't going to like it.

Warnings: many, many curse words

The moment you began painting a charcoal mask on your boyfriend’s nearly flawless skin, you began to wonder how you even convinced him to let you do this.

But then again, there’s very little the man wouldn’t do to achieve perfection.

It all started with the two of you hanging out in your dorm. Bakugou was scrolling through his phone, while you rested your head on his chest and let your finger trace along the ridges of his muscles.

“Katsuki, I’m bored.” You groaned, lifting your head up to hold it in your palm while looking down to the blond.

Bakugou’s crimson eyes glanced from above his phone to take in your whine of boredom before scoffing as he looked back to his phone, “You’re the one that refuses to go outside, idiot.”

Your lower lip sunk into a pout as you sluggishly rolled on top of the boy, stradling your legs around his hips while your fingers began to card through his spiked locks. Careful to not move your hips around too much, knowing what the outcome of that would be, you let out a dramatic sigh.

“I refuse to go outside because it sounds like a freakin monsoon is going on out there.” You huffed, tugging at his locks just to prove a point which resulted in a low growl from him, “I’m not trying to get waterboarded.”

The young hero looked at you with unimpressed eyes as you spoke, tossing his phone to the side before closing his eyes as you massaged the top of his head.

“Then stop whining that you’re bored, I can’t do a damn thing about it.”

Though you knew Bakugou couldn’t demand Zeus to stop the miserable weather and take you out to have the best day of your life: that didn’t mean you still weren’t going to be a brat about it.

“You’re no fun, K.” You hissed, burying your face into his neck as your plush lips left warm kisses along every crevice.

Bakugou’s body immediately tensed up from your sensual affection, his hands gripping at your hips now as he growled your name out lowly.

It was at that moment you realized, your boyfriend never had a single flaw in his skin. No acne, blackheads, whiteheads, acne scars, anything. Completely blemish free.

Eventually you knew to stop asking him, as he loved to gloat about how his quirk provided him with nearly perfect skin. All the little shit had to do was shower for five minutes each night and he had god level skin.

That is, until now.

As your lips met his jawline, you paused to give him a knowing look through hooded eyes, his crimson glare already on you before your eyes noticed a bright red bump in your peripheral vision.

Glancing down quickly, your eyes widened upon seeing what you truly thought was impossible.

“No way…” You whispered, Bakugou’s eyes following your shocked ones as he looked down before raising a brow.

“The fuck are you starin at?” Bakugou hissed, slightly beginning to worry when you didn’t respond and instead began to touch at his chin, “What the hell is wr-SHIT.”

The minute your finger made contact with the zit, the ash blond nearly shoved you away as he jerked his head from your tough and glared at you. Then he froze, realizing your touch shouldn’t have hurt him like that.

“It hurts too?” You questioned, a laugh of disbelief bubbling in your chest before you poked an accusatory finger into his chest, “Holy shit Katsuki, you have a zit!”

Bakugou’s eyes widened, his face turning pale as if you had just informed him his mother died. Rubbing a rough finger along his chin, he grit his teeth and scrambled for his phone.

“No fuckin way.” He mumbled to himself, quickly swiping to the camera app to aim it at his face. The entire time you couldn’t help but giggle, finally watching him get the karma that was always meant to be served to him one day.

Sure enough when he zoomed in on the camera, he saw the ugly blackhead daring to pop out of his flawless pale skin. His lips turned into a grimace of disgust as he narrowed his eyes down to the bump.

The minute a snort escaped your lips, you immediately regretted it as his red hot glare fell on you now, “You shut the hell up! Your face looked like a fucking war zone a few weeks ago.”

“I was on my period you dick, those hormones can cause breakouts,” You huffed out in between giggles, crawling closer to him as he began looking at the zit once more, “Is it that time of the month for you baby?”

The minute your hand rested on his abdomen and you looked up at him with those taunting eyes, he shoved you away and stood up storming around the room.

“Don’t go to sleep tonight Y/n.”

Now you were bursting into full laughter, rolling off the bed and following him to your bathroom as he now looked at himself in the full mirror.

“I’m just teasing you K, this is your first zit!” You cooed, hopping up on the bathroom counter beside him before slapping his hand away as he began to rub it along the zit more, “Don’t touch it! You’ll break out even more.”

Bakugou let out a frustrated growl, but eventually stopped touching it before glaring down to you with flushed cheeks, “Then what the hell am I supposed to do?”

Biting at your lip, you pondered the question seriously. At the end of the day, having a zit was no fun. Lucky for him, you had almost every product out there thanks to your occasional breakouts.

Glancing around the bathroom, your eyes lit up with an idea before you grinned over to him, the sight making him groan.

“I do have something that may help get the blackhead out, but it’s gonna hurt…” You hummed, wrapping your finger around his sweatpants and tugging him closer as you tilted your head up to him, “Think you can handle it?”

And that’s how you ended up here, painting on more of the black goop along his face. You knew he was never one to back down from a challenge.

“Quit moving around, you’ll make the mask crack before it’s finished!” You huffed, making sure the brush avoided his brows and eyes before looking back in the mirror to make sure your own was looking okay.

The two of you looked quite adorable if you were being honest. Your friends would go crazy if he saw the two of you with matching headbands and painted charcoal masks on. It was your mission to sneak a picture somehow, but your main mission was to stop the impatient boy from moving.

He seemed to think it was funny messing you up, your annoyed pouts growing cuter by the second. Glaring up at him you decided to snatch his neck to keep him in place, gripping down hard causing him to choke out in surprise as you bursted into laughter.

Your hand was seized just as fast at your pathetic attempt to keep him still, his face nearing yours as you bursted into more giggles, “You better keep your hands to yourself princess.”

The threat went over your shoulder, mostly, as you pushed him back with rolled eyes, “Yeah yeah, just stay still buttercup or I’m going to accidentally get this in your hair.”

That statement had Bakugou taking you seriously for once, a huff of air coming from his nose before he closed his eyes and remained still for you.

“This shit better fuckin work.” He grumbled, a smile falling on your lips as you gently placed the rest of the mask on his face.

Somehow you convinced him to get a picture. The moment you gushed about wanting to save it for your children he finally gave in and gave one of the most dreadful faces he could, contrasting beside your sweet smile. Regardless, it was only his fate since you were definitely sending it in the group chat with his friends.

Once the masks had finally dried on both of your faces, you were shocked to see Bakugou wanted his off first. He demanded it, actually.

“Y’sure K? Maybe we should take mine off first, just so you see how it works,” You said, eyes filling with worry as he stubbornly looked down at you, “It’s pretty painful.”

Though Bakugou’s eyes did soften at your concern, it didn’t stop the crude words from exiting his mouth. It never usually did.

“I’ll be fine. I’m not fuckin weak, like you.”

Your jaw fell slack at his response, eyes narrowed before you hopped back on the counter and furrowed your brows at him challengingly, “Fine, let’s do this.”

Even though you knew he deserved to have the whole damn mask ripped off at once, you didn’t quite have the heart to do that. Instead you dug your nail under the top right side of his face, running your fingers gently along the dried mask before looking at him.

“Need a safe word?”

You meant it half as a joke, half as concern. He took it as neither as he glared at you.

“Just take it the hell off brat.”

Smiling you shrugged at him, giving the mask a gentle shrug before sealing his doom.

You started by gripping onto the small hanging piece of the mask and gave it a firm tug, a part of the mask coming off but not without a sharp hiss escaping Bakugou’s lips.

You looked down to him with a raised brow, but he showed no expression to stop.

“Keep going.” Bakugou hissed through gritted teeth.

Letting out a sigh you tugged more at the edge, giving it a firm tug before the ash blond instinctively shoved you away, a sharp cry escaping his lips.

“What the fuck is this stuff?” Bakugou growled, rubbing at the burning skin that was now free from the dark mask.

Rolling your eyes, you folded your arms, looking at his wide crimson eyes, “I told you it hurts Katsuki! Do you want me to get you a cool rag?”

“No!” The ash blond snarled, narrowing his eyes as he gripped onto the edge, “You were probably just pulling it off wrong, let me do it.”

Lifting your hands in the air defensively you stepped back to let him do the work, your face deadpanning as he made his attempt to tug the mask off.

With just one slight tug, the ash blond immediately flinched back, his eyes squeezing shut, “Holy shit! Is this stuff made of Elmer’s fucking glue?!”

You couldn’t help but bubble into laughter again, his red face and shocked expression priceless in the moment.

“You shut up shitty girl, last time I take beauty advice from you!”

After his miniature fit, he continued to tug piece by piece at the mask, each time making a loud remark causing you to burst into more laughter.

Something about him yelling profane words because of a simple face mask made you crack up, perhaps the sweet taste of karma making it that much better.

With one last final tug, Bakugou finally gave up, his fist smashing into your marble countertop as he let out a string of colorful words.

At this point you were rolling on the ground, wheezing and gasping for air as you laughed so hard. You were surprised you hadn’t passed out from how hard you were laughing.

Bakugou’s furious eyes were now on you, his head tilting to the side as he let out a growl, “You think this is fucking funny you asshole?”

Letting out a few more chuckles you had to hold your side due to the pain from your laughter, stumbling up a bit while using the counter for support before looking at him with a red face.

“Okay okay I’m sorry K, I just die when you curse like that,” You explained, trying to shove down a few more giggles before taking a deep breath to steady yourself, “I’ll get that last piece for you, just the forehead then you’re done.”

The blond looked you up and down with untrusting eyes, his nose lifted up to you while you let out a few more giggles.

“Don’t look at me like that! I tried to tell you this was going to hurt!”

Bakugou let out a huff and turned to leave the bathroom before you quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the counter, “Promise I’ll be gentle, just one last tug okay?”

Realizing there was no better alternative, Bakugou finally gave in, moving closer to you so you could reach up to his forehead. His face was already bright red, most likely a result from ripping off the mask so aggressively. Somehow even with aggravated skin, his face still looked soft and beautiful.

Looking back to his already shut eyes, you smiled down to him before gripping at the last piece of the mask.

“Ready.. and…”

Riiiiiip

The sound of raw skin being torn off like duck tape on a hairy chest echoed through the air, not too long after the sound of Bakugou’s scream.

“MOTHERFUCKER!” Bakugou yelled, his body jumping away from yours as he held onto his head in agony.

This set you off, your head whipping back as you bursted into uncontrollable laughter. The ash blond began to pace around your bedroom while letting out a string of curses while he held onto his burning skin.

In between laughter you peaked your head from outside your bathroom, an innocent smile on your features as you tried to contain your laughter in order to speak.

“A..At least the mask is off now? And your skin looks flawless!”

Bakugou’s sudden rageful expression was focused on you, his eyes narrowing down to you as a sinister smirk formed on his lips.

“Oh yeah princess? Still laughing?” Bakugou questioned in a dark tone, causing your continuous laughter to die down as you raised a curious brow to him, “Well now it’s your fucking turn to take the mask off.”

Suddenly your goofy grin dropped as you noticed the ash blond begin to walk towards you with a mischievous grin curving onto his lips.

“Oh shit…”

painful whitehead zit right above my lip, presumably the result of some kind of curse or hex or evil object i've acquired

[thenarwhalgal]

I am so excited for Gwenpool to get more moments in the spotlight, but I really just wanted to put this out there as well cause I think it’s also important.

Look there, in the background next to the pride flag at the pride event in a sneak peak of Marvel’s Pride issue. Is that Doreen Green and Nancy Whitehead? Look at them skating together at the festival for queer people.

Now them being in a relationship has never been directly stated as far as I know. In fact, I think it’s only ever been implied that either aren’t straight. This is a big deal for both of them.

While it’s still not… canon technically, this is once more almost the strongest possible implication of a character being queer without directly stating it.

I know Speedball didn’t mind lips that tasted like chestnut so we can only hope Nancy doesn’t either is all I’m saying.

2022′s favorite skincare, make-up and fragrances tagged by my longtime fave @nito-onna. here is the link is her much more articulate post! 

starting with skincare... 

rohto mentholatum - acnes anti-bacteria spot dressing patch. I’ve tried two acne patches in the last couple months and this one is by far the better one. It’s very thin and unnoticable, it comes in two sizes per sheet and has helped me quicken the process of popped pimples and whiteheads

lush - catastrophe cosmetic. this clay mask is probably one of the best lush fresh masks I’ve used, and I’m planning to repurchase it with my recyclables. It’s more moisturizing than it seems, and after it dries it flakes off and makes for a very easy cleaning process (compared to every other lush fresh mask). 

laneige - water bank blue hyaluronic eye cream. I’m not a consistent user of eye cream, even though I should be but I’ve stuck with using the one from laneige for the last couple months. It’s straightforwardly packaged, supple and gel-like which makes it very light on the under eyes. It also lasts for a long time

fresh nation - b5 hydropower lip care. one of my go-to lip balms during these last winter months. I also slather it on as an overnight lip mask. It’s not heavy, scentless but moisturizes well. It was also like $14 for 3...

bush balm - bermuda dark spot exfoliating scrub and oil combination. probably one of my most favorite finds of 2022. I’ve been using this religiously on my underarms and I do see a very gradual fading of my dark spots. the sugar scrub is very gentle, and the oil is not excessively greasy. this is my only ongoing subscription on amazon

going to make-up...

wet n wild - megaglo makeup stick in sand. one of the BEST concealers I’ve used in years, and the only con about this is that it kinda stinks. this shade is perfect for my skintone, it’s not very heavy, extremely cheap and does a really good job on my eye bags. I haven’t found a concealer in this suitable of a shade ever

glossier - cloud paint in beam. a forever favorite item for me regardless of the year. I’ve had one tube of this bush for the last 3 years so it really goes a long way, and I do not leave the house on a day out without using this. the cream texture is light and versatile and you can build the strength of the blush according to your preference. 

dejavu - fiberwig ultra long mascara in pure black. again, an item I’ve used for a couple years and still love and is always apart of my make-up routine. It’s the one mascara I’ve used that doesn’t clump and elongates my lashes without making spider legs. I haven’t experimented with any other mascara after finding this one.

lastly I only have one fragrance and its...

giorgio armani - sì eau de parfum. all I can say is that this is my scent. If you ever meet me in person I’ll smell like this. I’ve gone back and forth from different perfumes but I always end up coming back to sì. I’m not a big fan of floral scents, so this one is more musky. I have used this since high school and have not found a scent I like as much as this. 

thanks for reading if you’ve gotten this far. I tag @033h, @vensulove, @calpicowater, @idleminds, @julieterbang and everyone who likes pentagon to do this tag!

[saphlore-blog]

no one asked but here's my skincare routine xx 🌚 (including pictures of all the products !)

i'm a teen with acne-prone slightly sensitive skin that gets oily by the end of the day🧖‍♀️

(i'm 99% sure i'm allergic to salicylic acid bc it didn't help with my breakouts/caused them so i avoid it in my routine❕)

as a makeup remover i use the elf holy hydration makeup melting balm 🚿

& a makeup eraser cloth 🧽

for stubborn waterproof eye makeup i use garnier skin active micellar cleaning water all-in-1 waterproof (aka the blue one) i have a huge bottle of it :)💧

(i want to start using reusable cotton rounds so pls lmk of any good brands !)

i just ran out but if i haven't worn makeup but my pores feel especially clogged i use the burt's bees oil cleanser 🥥 (you do have to double cleanse with a water based cleanser afterwards !)

for a daily water-based facial cleanser i use two different ones

the cerave foaming facial cleanser 🧼 "oil control" on the bottle is no joke ! i don't get oily in the day anymore bc of the niacinamide in this :)

but it can be a little drying/strong so i mix it with the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser 🛁

i use this really cheap & generic silicone face scrubber for my nostrils/chin/sideburn-hairline area 🧽

once a week i use this scrub pixi peel and polish its a mask with physical and chemical exfoliants

it smells like lemon cucumber water🥒 and can also be used for body acne on the chest, back, & arms !!

once a week i use an AHA chemical exfoliant it's elf supertone toner 🌝 it has glycolic acid and is has a little bit of a lemony scent

what i use as a daily toner is thayer's rose-scented witch hazel spray 💌 it calms down any redness i have instantly !

i used to use the cerave daily moisturizing lotion but it was a little oily and it was impossible to apply makeup on 🧘 so now i use it on my hands before doing my facial moisturizer

and for that i use a mix of elf holy hydration gel-yeah moisturizer and elf holy hydration face cream 💦 it's pretty self-explanatory but the former is a clear gel and the latter is a white cream, i adjust the proportions for my moisture needs :) ⛲️

in the winter or if my face feels dry or in need of healing i use clinique moisture surge overnight face mask 🦪

"mask" is a little misleading as you just apply it with your moisturizer like any other lotion 🧴 it's super hydrating, it's a little expensive but i got it as a gift and a little goes a long way ! :)

after a breakout has healed completely i use a little bio oil on top of my moisturizer to fade any dark spots/scars 🐚

after i shower and exfoliate my lips i use this random lip mask from bath and body works that's watermelon scented 🍉 it's thick (a little goes a long way) and yummy

i also use smith's rosebud salve in this tin 🌹 it's like a nice scented vaseline

i don't use it all the time bc it's expensive but i love the mario badescu caffeine eye cream💆it's so good for my sunken dark circles ! but avoid getting it in your eye and keeping it in the bathroom bc it curdles if it gets too hot from shower steam

for active acne spots i use might patch pimple patches 🩹regular for whiteheads and micropoint ones for swollen spots under the skin

those are pretty expensive so for smaller spots i use mario badescu drying lotion overnight 🫧

i'm pretty bad at remembering sunscreen in the morning but i just got the glow recipe dew balm with spf 45 and niacinamide 🌸 i love the glow and the light fruity scent :)

i do want mention that my life-saver game-changer for stopping cystic acne (those painful lumps deep in the skin) and just acne in general has been hormonal birth control pills ! after i started BC for pcos/hormonal reason all of my breakouts decreased significantly🪽

tysm for reading !! 🕊️ xx

TickleTober2022/Day 18 - Chase

Vanitas no Carte - Vanitas x Noe

Noe ran across the hallway, not daring to look behind. He wasn't sure if he could hear Vanitas's footsteps behind him, but the vampire wouldn't dare checking it.

Of all people, why did he have to become the test subject for something like that? Well, he did know why, but he still did not like the idea of Vanitas running experiments on him.

"Come back here, Noe!!" Vanitas shouted while chasing him, noticing how the vampire was increasing the distance between them.

"Leave me alone!" Noe cried back, managing to get enough advantage to make his friend lose sight of him. The whitehead quickly threw himself at the nearest room and took a seat behind the couch to hide himself. His heart was beating fast, like a drum inside his chest. Noe placed his hand over his face, trying to cover up the sound of his heavy breathing.

And, then, the silence seemed to fill the place. Noe couldn’t hear the sound of someone walking in the hallways anymore, neither could hear anything else than his own breathing inside the room. Did he manage to escape Vanitas? Would it be safe to come out-

“Found you!”

“AHHH!!”

No, it wasn’t. With ease, Vanitas pulled the other by his shoulder, tackling the vampire to the ground and straddling his legs. The ravenhead wasted no time in taking his hands to the other’s ribs, wiggling his fingers.

“V-VahAHahAhanitas!! N-ohOHOh t-tihihickling!” Noe giggled, pressing his arms against his body as he tried to protect himself from the ticklish assault.

“It would’ve been so much easier if you hadn’t made me chase you like a madman,” Vanitas scolded him, scribbling over the spot mercilessly despite Noe’s desperate defense, “I just asked you a simple question! There was no need to run from me like that,” he continued, trying his best to sound annoying, but only being able to smile back at the other laughing under his touch.

“PLEHEhehase- eheHEh, I c-cahaHAhan’t!” The whitehead cried between his cackles, shaking his head left and right as Vanitas threatened to move his hands up, squirming as much as he could inside the space he had.

“If you had simply admitted that you are ticklish, we could have avoided all that, you know?” The man teased with an evil grin on his lips, “now that I won’t have to chase you again, care to tell me, Noe, where are you ticklish the most? ~”

However, the only answer Vanitas got for his question was a louder laughter from the other as he tested the sensitivity of his underarms. Well, it looked like he would need more time to find out… and a few more attempts too.

A/N: Again, as soon as I saw this prompt on the list, I thought about them. I’ve been wanting to write for this pair since I finished the first season and I have to admit that I was (and still am) obsessed with lee!Noe. So here we are, being a bit self-indulgent, but I think it’s fine, hehe. Hope you enjoyed your reading!

[nerd-cat-rambles]

Yo wsg I'm feeling venty rn gang!!! >:) (anywayssss)

Oh, this is my honest reaction btw:

Anyway-

My parents get mad at me when I don't tell them what I'm listening to (music-wise), and then whenever my song comes up on the playlist in the car I get judged.

Or they ask what I'm writing (fanfiction) and they automatically assume because I don't want to tell them about it, that it's bad. NO I'M NOT WRITING SMUT MUM, I JUST HAVE CRINGE INTERESTS!!!

But as soon as I tell them I'm writing something, they get all on my back and as soon as they get home it's "10 minutes" or "sleep in 30" or "stop writing you've been on that all day!" (<- I got home 10 minutes ago people.)

Or it's like 3 degrees and I'm in bed writing because it's cold and they ask me to "come out of my room for once" because "we never see you" (I literally talk to them all the time, we have dinner together EVERY night, we watch movies and stuff together on weekends) then they EXPECT me to come out of my room when they just got mad at me for saying no to leaving my nice private area???

Wait, did I say private?

My mum walks in when I'm changing, and she's like "oh sorry" and then finishes putting my clothes on my bed? Like I get she's trying to be helpful and stuff but I'm sick of it. Please just put them by my door in the morning, because I'd rather you not walk in while me (a lovely teen girl who would like some decent privacy pretty please!) is changing.

She scared the shit out of me this morning, and my friends notice how jumpy I can be BECAUSE I constantly have to hide my phone (I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just USING it) or grab a towel or blanket or even just... crouch down uncomfortably so that she doesn't see me undressed...

Like I get it... you have stuff you need to do, but privacy is important. Not to mention if I forget to lock the door my mum walks in while I'm in the SHOWER.

At least my dad knocks before coming into my bedroom.

And like I love them but oh my god I'm sick of it. I don't have it bad and I'm just complaining and whatever but like... bro...

OH AND MY FRIENDS SOMETIMES TOO! Don't get me wrong, I love my girls so much, they're lovely and really nice and kind, and I don't know where I'd be without them in my life.

BUT!!!

Let me listen to music without you going "what're you listening to" and then looking at me like I'm listening to alien noises (I was listening to Mitski)

Stop asking me what I'm drawing, and then judging me for it. (I just want to draw characters from my hyperfixation in peace-)

Stop looking at me like I'm a weirdo and judging me for having interests in some video game from 2010. Stop acting like me being on tumblr is so weird.

I love my friends and they're great and awesome and supportive, but sometimes they just don't get it, because I'm "the weird anime kid" (I don't watch anime anymore, I just like Danganronpa.) and they're... "normal".

Like my friend asked me a week ago "you realise you have a big pimple above your lip, right?"

...

...

Mate.

SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT BADLY, SHE WAS JUST POINTING IT OUT WE'RE KIDS IT'S FINE SHE APOLOGISED AFTER-

Yes I know. I have acne, it's been in my life since I was 11. I have a million different products, but can never keep using them long enough to work.

I've had skin rashes, acne, whiteheads, blackheads. They're small, but there's so many, and they're all over my face. So I look red all the time.

"Oh, why don't you wear makeup?" that's like saying "If you have glasses and are insecure about how you look with them, just take them off" <- it makes their eyesight worse. They can't see without them. They don't feel comfortable putting contacts on. etc. etc.

SAME FOR ACNE, MAKEUP DOESNT MAKE THEM GO AWAY IT JUST COVERS THEM AND MAKES THEM WORSE IN THE LONG RUN!!!

And like... just don't point out peoples insecurities in general. Please guys.. it makes them feel self concious and way worse about themselves. Just don't do it.

I love the people in my life, if you guys somehow find this (dad why are you on Tumblr...? Go back to Facebook man-) I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, but these things just irk me and I was feeling particularly irritated when writing this.

Okay vent done I got that out of my system, not my usual post but people need to learn boundaries. :3

[ID: the poem “Not Everything Is Sex” by Lauren Whitehead. the poem is originally arranged in two-line stanzas with minimal punctuation. the text reads: Okay. Tell that to the palm of this Black man’s hand ever so slightly cupped and carrying in its bend the finger tips of another Black man, both of them arms stretching upward toward the sky, measuring their reach against one another on a basketball court in Brooklyn, in spring.

Okay. Spring. And when I say spring, I mean bee-buzzing-near-a-pink-bud-almost-bursting spring, tantric spring, everyone-outside-in-three-quarter-sleeves-despite-the-virus-buzzing-near-our-tongues spring. So you can’t tell me it’s not sex, Cause it’s not not sex, The risk of all this tenderness, all this giving of ourselves, all this inside on the outside, open, vulnerable—I know sex when I see it and I see it everywhere: lips on the nipple of a soft serve, an arm fist deep in a grocery store shelf, digging for the last can of garbanzo beans.

It’s not not a ménage à trois, these three men snuggled in the front seat of a moving van, singing bachata dancing from the hips up in the window, open throats open, their whole necks to the wind, reckless—reckless, I tell you, full on abandon. So say what you will about transmission, about fluid, skin to skin, about the necessary things that make the deed the deed; I don’t care cause it’s spring and I’ve never seen anything so intimate as this touch still taken in the face of an apocalypse. end ID.]

I think Nancy Whitehead and Doreen Green should at least TRY kissing on the lips

[nb-microdosing-testosterone]

Hello. First dose! Yay!

As per title, I am micro-dosing testosterone.

.5ml, intramuscular, one dose per two weeks. ~23 years old at first dose.

(Also partially in the closet, so I will also keep tabs on how long I can get away with this before people start realizing something’s up.)

The shot:

Originally, I imagined I’d use the patch or gel. Then, the doctor told me those options were $600.

Needle it is.

First dose was much harder than I thought it’d be. I kept aggressively tapping the syringe because I was scared of air bubbles. Although the doctors prepared me and gave me a pamphlet, I found a video tutorial helpful. I sat there for at least 20 minutes holding the ready syringe trying to encourage myself to do it. The needle was much longer than I expected. It was very intimidating. I really considered backing out. In that moment, I wished I had an ally to do this for me. I felt like I couldn’t do it. It was so scary. In the end, I told myself that this medicine was too hard to get, and I couldn’t let it go to waste. Good thing my family isn’t observant, because someone could probably hear me panicking through the door if they listened.

Working up the courage was the hardest part. The shot itself turned out to be not so bad. In my opinion, it did not feel as bad as getting a vaccine. It was so simple it made all the apprehension feel silly. I took off my gloves and realized how nervous I really was when I saw the insides covered in sweat. I’m not even someone who gets sweaty hands. I should really be proud of myself for powering through that. I think the next shot will be easier.

Effects:

The next day I noticed a breakout of hormonal acne around my jaw, and….earlobes??? I expected testosterone to give me acne, but not so quick. I am very acne-prone. My skin care routine is immaculate. I found whiteheads around my jaw and saw more as the day progressed. You could argue that this breakout was caused by other factors, like stress, but I feel it was at least aided by testosterone as whiteheads are not a type of acne I usually get (Also, I didn’t get acne on my earlobes what the fu-.)

I battled- that’s an understatement- was at war with acne during my teens. I saw various skin professionals and used various medications. I expect this “transition journey” to be accompanied with revisiting this old nemesis.

Edit: 20 hours after posting this. Noticed new acne on my upper lip.
