Procrastinating with being productive
I just realized, even If I don’t have the time/energy to write full posts on my “real” blog, I could totally make a short post here! So today I did it again. :D You know that process, when you have something important to do, or something looming over you, you really don’t want to tackle it, but you also don’t want to be unproductive and just ignore everything and everyone and play games/watch shows for the day? So what do you do? Postpone the thing with doing a million others! :D  I am kinda struggling with work nowadays, because they can’t give me enough hours to work, because they’ve hired too many people (bad management), so I thought I’m going to supplement it by doing some deliveroo/uber eats driving, which I like, I tried it out in the past too, and it’s not bad money to be honest.  I was supposed to ride today, but I was really not in the mood, so I was like “let’s still do some stuff” The things I’ve done today instead: - I applied to about 7 new jobs, hopefully I get some responses soon! - I put my road racer up for sale on facebook market - Rode to ESSO in hopes of washing my bike and put some air pressure in my bike tyres - Friggin pressure washer was closed of course, so I managed to pump my tyres, and rinsed my bike as much as I could with the dinky water hose that is on this air/water thingy - It worked okay - Went to B&Q to get: Zipties, WD40, and some hose (I have the stupid separate taps in my flat so I wanted to connect them and cut a hole in the middle instead of having a cut plastic bottle on it now XD), and some metal binds to fix the hose on my sink - I found two of these, and I’ve found a good LED lightbulb that is in my main light now in my room, it’s 1580 lumens so it’s nice and bright! - I found a KFC right outside so I had a 4 piece boneless meal with a Latte and it was super nice! Also super expensive, prices are going up! x_x It was like 7 pounds something, it used to be 5 :( - Found a huuge TESCO extra, went in to get some MILK and BREAD, and some chocolate bars (I got snickers and twix OwO) - In addition of finding these I found a nice thick single duvet that was 13.5 tog, (which should be really warm) only 11 quid, and 100% polyester! Which I learned through my camping trips, is very warm!  I also managed to do the canadian jam knot for the first time from memory! So I had no extra bungee cord to fix the duvet on my pannier, but I always carry a piece of paracord in my bag for emergencies, and I tried doing this knot I saw a million times from Joe Robinet in his bushcraft videos, and I managed to do it from memory! I was so happy! :D And it’s a great knot because you can just pull on the cord and it becomes tighter and tighter but does not release at all! When you’re done it’s easy to undo though, so it’s very good. ^^ - I came home and sprayed my bike with the WD40 - I sorted out my drawer with all my paperwork - I also found there all my “gaming sticky notes” which were on my wall behind my computer in the previous flat - I decided to glue these in my notebook to keep them as a memory, and they will also come in handy if I play these games again! :) Subnautica, Warframe, Graveyard keeper, and Destiny! - Removed the tatami mats from under my pull up bar, because they were too soft so the pull up bar was moving a lot, now it’s much better!  - Made dinner and ate it! ^^ So even though I haven’t gone to do deliveroo, I still managed to do a lot!  Didn’t earn money though, just spent some though. x_x Well shit! :D

Humans are Weird, “Keep them Warm pt. 2″
So it looks like this one will become a mini series, there are to many possibilities to explore, and I am having a very interesting time exploring it. So hop on for the ride if you want, and ignore it if you don't. Hope you all have a great day, and forgive me, my computer is in the shop so I had to write this up on an I-pad. 
The entire crew was there, or at least 25%, sitting in the chow hall staring at the door and waiting. There was conversation of course, but the real issue was something far more interesting, which was about to walk through that door.
Sunny sat with them a mixture of worry and gleeful amusement.
A scrape on the floor caused the entire cafeteria to turn and go completely silent as commander shuffled in through the door. His hair was a ragged mess his eyes were red with exhaustion attested to by the dark circles under his eyes. He wore a pair of shorts, and a somewhat rumbled top unbuttoned down the front. Not out of any need to show off, but probably because the buttons wouldn’t be likely to button over the six, black alien eggs nestled flat against his stomach.
He walked over to the far counter to pour himself some orange juice, and when he turned around it registered in his head that he was being stared at. The frown that crossed his face was a rather awkward mixture of annoyance and embarrassment, “The hell are you looking at.” He growled to the room, and they quickly turned away pretending not to stare, which was difficult to hide since they totally were.
Commander Vir grumbled grabbed a plate, and then two, of pancakes before walking over to the table at which Sunny sat throwing himself down next to her shoulders hunched.
The marines that sat at the table with them exchanged glances grinning stupidly at each other.
“How did you sleep last night commander?” Wondered one of the marines. She almost pulled off sounding concerned.
Commander Vir lifted his head eyeing the group of them, “Horrible, I can’t sleep on my stomach…. I always sleep on my stomach.” He turned back to his food shoveling pancakes into his mouth with careless abandon.
“I think my wife has an old pregnancy pillow you could use.”
Ramirez choked on his juice.
The table finally broke into a fit of giggling contained since the man had walked into the room, “You know what, Fuck you Palensky, and your stupid hair.” That just caused another eruption of giggling about the table as the man tried to ignore them going back to his food.
“You might want to slow down there Commander, they aren’t going to grow legs and run off.”
“I’m HUNGRY, so sue me.”
“I’m not entirely sure hungry is an apt description.” One of the marines pointed out, watching as the Commander pilfered a plate from one of the marines who was conveniently looking the other way.
“Sorry, Ravenous, I just didn’t want to use words to big for you jarheads.” He tucked in as the unfortunate marine turned around and noticed his plate missing before sighing and getting up to retrieve another one.
“Chairforce.” Came the retort
“Bullet Sponge.”
“That’s army.”
“Fine you’re ugly and stupid.”
“Least I’m not pregnant.”
The bright green eye turned an angry glare on the grinning marine, “I’m not ‘pregnant’ I have a parasite.”
“Pretty sure that’s a synonym for pregnant.” Sunny added smugly as the commander turned to glare at her.
“Coming from someone who doesn’t even speak english.” He sighed looking down at his stomach, “These are exogenous egg sacks that have attached themselves to my organs and are now feeding off my innards.”
“Kind of like how an egg attaches to the lining of the uterus and then attaches itself to your innards…..” one of the female marines wondered innocently,.
The angry gaze turned to her, “I hope the next time you’re on your period you have a sneezing fit.”
She frowned, “That’s cold ... wait…. how did you know about that?”
“I have a sister, so don’t jump to any stupid conclusions.” He sighed, “My back hurts.”
More giggling.
“Shut up, these things are heavy ok, like five pounds each.”
It was just then that doctor Katie and Krill made their way into the room. They appeared to be discussing some charts speaking animatedly with each other before walking over.
Katie squeezed in next to him and one of the marines while Krill floated at her side.
“How are we feeling this morning, Commander.”
“Friggin’ fantastic, can’t you tell.” He gave an exaggerated crazy person smile before going back to frowning.
She placed a hand on his forehead turning to look at Krill, “No fever, which is what he hoped for. No signs of rejection.”
“Great.” The man grumbled trying to pull away from her as she continued to examine him.
“Dry skin….” She glanced down, “Excessive hunger.” He shot another glare at her, “Mood changes.”
“Sounds like a protein deficiency.” krill muttered
“In under a day?.... seems a bit unlikely.”
THe doctor waved his hands, “Well so does one of our crew members getting together with an alien, but here we are.”
Giggling.
The commander turned to look at them, “Ok, first of all, I did not, ‘get together’ with her, I‘m just the incubator.”
“If any of us was going to get it on with an alien, it was gonna be him.” One of the marines muttered.
The commander slammed his fork down on the table, “Alright THAT'S IT.” And before anyone could do anything, he was across the table and was reaching for the marine who had opened his mouth.
Sunny, strong as she was, caught him around the legs and hauled him back ,”Alright, That’s enough. Why don’t we go see if the doctors can figure out what’s wrong.” She carried him away glaring back at the table of laughing marines.
***
Turns out, they weren’t entirely inaccurate on the protein assessment. As a primarily carnivorous species is, the eggs were taking heavily from his already existing protein. If this were to continue, he would probably see an extreme drop in weight.
By the time he returned to the bridge, his mood from that morning had significantly improved.
“Feeling any better, Commander?” Sunny ventured unsure of which man she should be expecting.
He returned his signature lopsided and rather rueful smile, “A lot better, thanks…. there is some amount of good news to this whole thing.”
The bridge crew looked up from their work interested as he took his seat, “I can eat whatever I want whenever I want in whatever quantity I so please…..” He tried adjusting his jacket over the concealed eggs.
Beneath the rather, bulky leather jacket, one might have simply assumed the man was carrying a few extra pounds instead of some alien egg sack.
“Ok, now that’s just not fair.” The crew turned to look at the lieutenant, who had crossed her arms angrily over her chest, “When I had kids I was so hungry I could have eaten everything in existence, but they told me just to eat an extra yogurt. This is bullshit.”
Commander Vir smirked, “I guess I have that going for me.” The smile then slipped from his face, “Now to…. make a couple of calls. Specialist, get me the admiral and the GA chairwoman on a conference line, they will probably want to know what’s going on.”
He leaned back in his chair as the projection leap up in front of them. They had to wait a good five minutes for the call to connect, and the screen split into two separate feeds. One was the face of their admiral, she looked tired with dark circles under her eyes barely visible against her deep skin tone. The Commander couldn’t have said what the Rundi chairwoman looked like, they weren’t exactly known for their mobile facial expressions.
Honestly she just looked like some bizarre ant-headed ostrich as always.
“Commander, I received your transmission. You said it was urgent.”
The rundi chairwoman shifted in her place dark robes flowing about her strange alien frame, “This isn’t about your first contact with the Adaptids, is it? We were hoping for your report yesterday.”
The man shifted nervously in his seat, “Well… yes, this is in fact about our contact with…. what did you call them, the Adaptids.”
“Well I am assuming you are here and alive, so I assume things went well.”
He shifted again nervously, “Well ... actually…. ma’am, we caught a bit of a snag.”
The rundi chairwoman sighed and shook her head, “I was worried something like this would happen. Did they reject our overtures of peace, did something go wrong. Did we offend them somehow?”
The commander lifted his hands, “No, no…. nothing like that. I…. it’s just…. well. They agreed to ally with us as friends.”
The admiral leaned back in her chair, “That is good news isn’t it, commander?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Than I hardly see the snag?” The rundi chairwoman nodded her head in agreement.
The commander sighed, “Were you aware of the Adaptid’s…. precular…. mating rituals?”
The admiral shook her head, but the chairwoman nodded, “We were aware of their trigender system.”
The commander’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Were you also aware of their ability to borrow the DNA of other species?”
“Yes, we were passingly aware of that as a matter of fact. We theorized that’s why they look so….. how shall we say ... thrown together. Almost as if other creatures had been assimilated.”
“So than you have only yourself to blame for what happened.” The commander accused leaning forward in his seat.
The admiral leaned forward in confusion, “What are you talking about, Commander!.”
She was ignored for the moment as Commander Vir and the Rundi chairwoman locked eyes, “You were completely aware of this, and decided not to warn my crew before going out there…..”
She remained very quiet for a long moment, “Oh no….”
“Oh no what!” the admiral demanded, “If Someone doesn’t tell me what’s going on in the next five seconds I-“
She was cut off as the Commander unzipped his jacket allowing the leather to slide off his shoulders and onto the chair behind him. He was standing now, and form the back he looked almost completely normal, at least to Sunny. A structure made up of powerful corded muscle flexing smoothly under the sheet of pale skin. But when he turned, the issue became more than abundantly clear, “You knew this might happen!” The. commander growled as the Rundi chairwoman covered her face in stunned horror.
The admiral leaned in eyes narrowed with confusion and facination, “What the fuck is that, Commander?”
Commander Vir turned to look at the Rundi chairwoman, “Why don’t you go ahead and tell the admiral what these are.”
The admiral did not appear particularly happy glowering at her screen and, what must have been, and image of the Rundi chairwoman, “Go on.”
The chairwoman dropped her hands from her face and sighed, “We discovered the adaptids a little over two cycles ago. At first we weren’t sure if they were sentient based on the way they communicate. It took a very long time for even our best linguists, along with our best chemical analysis to determine that they were, in fact, communicating in some rudimentary way. Of course ... while we were there, we did notice that they had a strange mating system. The common binary male and female pair, but with the addition of the third gender to incubate the eggs, a third party without which they would not survive, a trigender system if you will. Of course we also noticed that the eggs had the DNA of all three parents.”
“No….. no, don’t tell me you’re going where I think you’re going.”
She kept it up with a sigh of frustration, “When they implant the eggs, they are attached first to the skin, but then send filaments into the body which take nutrients and DNA from the third parent…. it does not require a specific reproductive system for this third event to be accomplished.”
The admiral stood nearly knocking over her chair, “AND YOU DIDN’T THINK THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO MENTION!” she Waved her hand wildly at the screen, “You neglected to share information, as was your duty, and now one of my men is harboring an alien parasite that is borrowing his DNA…. and now we are going to end up with some sort of arachnid human hybrid!”
The chairwoman slumped in her seat, “We had no idea that the queen would do this without discussing it first….. the other times we tried-“
“Now hold the damn phone for just one second. The FIRST time you tried! Are you telling me you tried to make OTHER hybrids. Not to mention that these things can BARELY communicate and you expected it to have the foresight to ask permission first….. no no, you know what; you gave it permission when you decided to experiment…. what were you even doing anyway?”
She slumped further down in her seat, “We thought that if they were able to use the DNA of a host species, than the offspring might have the ability to use language, to communicate like the rest of us. Their particular abilities make them invaluable in the GA, on ships, everywhere. Can you imagine what would happen if we crossed them with something like the starborn…. what they could do…..”
“Screw you, screw that. You had no idea what you were doing, and now one of my men is having alien babies! Not a scentence I ever wanted to fucking say, you absolute bag of-“
“I would watch your tone admiral, what’s done is done, and I am still head of the council.”
“A council that has withheld information from one of their most important assets, and now you are responsible for whatever abominable human hybrid is going to come out of those things.” She paused for a moment eyes darting towards the commander, “….. unless we….. ….. get rid of them.”
“NO!”
The two figures turned to their screen in shock, as did the rest of the crew as the voice rang out across the bridge. Commander Vir had taken a step back from the screen chin dropping over his exposed neck, shoulders hunching hands held slightly out to cover the eggs, “No, you are not killing them.”
The admiral turned her head in confusion, “but commander.”
“No, I agree with you that the chairwoman and the council were out of line when they neglected to warn us about the potential consequences, but I will NOT let you or anyone else hurt them.”
“Commander, it is in your best interest to get rid of them.”
Over the screen, the man’s single green eye was cold and still, “Is that an order…… because if it is I will tender my resignation right here and now, and you can find someone else to Command this fleet.”
The room was dead silent stuck in place with shock and surprise. Sunny didn’t even notice that her mouth had fallen open. Adam loved his job, he would never.
Silence, and then the admiral sighed, “No, Commander, that is not an order. Calm down, I was only exploring our options, but clearly this is not one, though I hardly understand why.”
Commander Vir took his seat, “It isn’t an option because, while I'm not exactly pleased, and it wasn’t exactly my first choice, well…..  there are worse things I suppose. I’m just feeding them, and keeping them warm.”
“And allowing them to borrow some of your DNA.” The admiral pointed out.
“Yes, let’s hope that they get my vocal cords.”
The Admiral sighed deeply head in her hands, “Very well commander, But I want you down here immediately so we can keep an eye on your for the foreseeable future. I don’t want to lose one of my men if things go sideways.”
“Yes Ma’am. I will be sure to keep in contact.”
The admiral nodded and then turned her steely amber eyes upon the rundi chairwoman, “And you, you are going to send someone down here to assist us. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it, cut transmission.”
The screen went dark, and Adam slumped back in his chair head back, “Well, that went about as well as expected. Specialist, send the next transmission to my quarters if you would. The number one spot on my personal contact list. Make sure you get permission form the UNSC for this one.”
***
He was actually more nervous about this call than he was about the first one, which is why he had roped Sunny into being his support system. She sat herself at his desk head tilted curiously as he paced about the room waiting for the transmission to go through.
“Why did you say no?” She finally queried, “This could all be over if you wanted.”
He lifted his head from his contemplation and looked her in the eyes, “Curiosity…. But mostly….. well I. I don’t think it’s as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. It’s not hurting me physically or psychologically, it's no different from a parasite, causes less problems, and if not, they may eventually be useful to us.”
“Do you really want this to be the first use of your DNA?” She ventured curiously.
He tilted his head, “You make it sound like they are actually my kids. Look if someone took my DNA and made a homunculus out of it, I would feel the same way I do now. I am a means to an end an adaption for them.” He turned away from her, “Besides it’s not like y DNA was being put to any particular use anyway, might as well let someone else borrow it.”
She shook her head, but whatever thoughts she might have had about the situation were cut off as the transmission tone came on.
“Accept transmission.” The commander said taking a seat on a chair opposite sunny.
“Adam, are you alright?”
A wry smile, “Can’t I just call my parents because I love them.”
“Did you gain weight.”
He frowned, “Serious mom, that’s what you notice?”
The human woman in the image crossed her arms, “Only in conjunction with the bags under your eyes. You look exhausted, are you ok?”
“Yes, mother, I’m fine…. well mostly fine.”
Her voice rose a few octaves, “What do you mean mostly fine! Adam, what happened. Honey! Come here, something happened to Adam!”
“Mom, calm down its ok. You don’t need to bring d-.... father.”
“Adam, what’s all this about something happening to you…. did you gain weight?”
He huffed, “Ok, no I did not, and both of you need to stop with that ... see it’s really no big deal. I’m fine, everyone is fine no one is hurt or dying or sick, and as far as I know” he griped, “No one has gained an exorbitant amount of weight.”
“I’m sensing a but in there, boy, so spit it out.”
He sighed and sat back on his chair, “Look, I was sent out to make contact with another alien species, like I normally do…. there was a…. miscommunication.”
His father’s eyes narrowed, “What sort of ...miscommunication.”
“They…. incubate their eggs at high temperatures, the higher the better usually around 90 degrees, but they also require a…. host to survive, and since we were making a peace overture, the queen thought that the best way to show her interest in what we were saying was to….”
He was cut off, “Oh no, no no no, Adam please don’t tell me what I think you’re telling me.”
Instead of answering, Adam reached up and gripped the zipper of his jacket, “Promise you keep this secret. No one said anything out right, but I’m assuming it’s classified.”
His mother moaned in inner emotional pain, “No Adam, please no.”
He unzipped his jacket, tossed it on the bed standing straight and holding his arms out so they could see the six, painfully obvious fist-sized black eggs attached to his skin.”
His mother screamed, his father spit out a line of truly horrendous curses Sunny wouldn’t have expected him of knowing.
“That’s it! We are coming up there right now!Whose Alien ass do I have to kick to-“
“Mom”
“The audacity, the sheer nerve of that c-“
“MOM!”
She went silent though the thunderous look on her face remained, “I’m ok, honestly they’re just attached to the outside, and yes ok maybe they are borrowing my DNA and…. my lungs and my liver, but no big deal. Krill says they should be gone in a month.”
His father held up a hand, “Now hold on, son, did you say DNA….”
He sighed deeply, “Yes, sir, DNA. The male and female are the primary donors, but then they have a third….. sort of host who supplies the rest. It appears as if they can assimilate DNA from any species as long as they can survive.”
His father crossed his arms, “So, to put that bluntly, my next grandchildren are going to be some kind of alien human hybrid. Is that what I’m hearing?”
Adam sighed deeply punching the bridge of his nose between finger and thumb squeezing his eyes shut, “No, that’s not what I’m saying, dad, not in the way that we understand it anyway. Technically these things will have less than a third of my DNA, they won’t be structurally human in any way, but they may adapt to take the traits which may be best to survive. It’s Evolution but scaled incredibly quickly.”
“That all seems like semantics to me.” His father continued stubbornly.
Adam sighed.
“Can’t you just get rid of them?” His mother wondered
Adam frowned, “Why does everyone keep suggesting that. Did you ever suggest that to my sister?”
“I thought you just said these were parasites, not children.” His father pointed out
Adam groaned, “yes, and no…. ahhhg, look, I’m not getting rid of them, and that’s final. I just wanted to call you guys and let you know what’s going on. I am going to be fine, and who knows, we may be able to communicate with these things once it’s all said and done.”
His mother did not look convinced, “I don’t like this Adam, not one bit. WHy do you constantly insist on getting yourself into trouble with aliens, and then once you do, you defend them.”
Sunny remained silent, she knew exactly who his mother was talking about. She had never liked Sunny much, not after she learned what she had done to Adam during the war.
“Because I’m not nearly as angry at them as you are. Besides mother this is just two months, it isn’t going to change my life, and it may actually be useful. So, my decision is final.” He crossed his arms over his chest, “I have to go…. oh, and mom.”
“Yes Adam?”
“Don’t let Jeremy and the others know. I’d never hear the end of it, transmission over.”
The screen went dead and he slumped back into his seat with a groan
“Are you alright?” Sunny ventured quietly
Adam threw up his hands in frustration, “I'm beginning to wonder if I should be more upset about this than I am. Everyone else seems to think it’s some horrible issue. It’s just two months, and I’m ok.”
Sunny stood and walked over to sit next to him, placing a hand on his arm, “Not so many people are as forgiving as you are. A violation of their privacy, a decision made for them against their will?”
He snorted, leaning his head against her arm, “Yeah because my abs are such a great violation of my personal space. Now if she had laid them down my throat, I think I might just take issue with that.”
“Well they did attach themselves to your liver.”
“Yeah, one of the organs that I can grow back, ohhh I am so offended.”
Sunny shook her head, “You're a strange man, Adam.”
“I know, but you love it.”
“Do I?”
He closed his eyes, “Yeah, you do.”

The Bowers Gang: Ship #4 - Belch Huggins
Tumblr media
Request: Hello, wanna know if you can ship me? I’m a brazilian girl, pansexual, with light brown hair and eyes. I’m a curvy girl, I’d say. About my personality: I’m not an easy person, I have borderline personality disorder and unfortunately that describes me more than I’d like to. I’m a bit sassy and incredible snobbish even thought I suffer of low self-esteem. I can be completely broken inside but I act like a bitch so no one can see through me +  I’m kinda naughty too? I’m kinky as FUCK and enjoy things other people don’t and some of them says I’m weird for that. Also I’m a switch. Well I guess that’s it. It’s v complicated sorry
Note: To the person who made this request - I just wanted you to know that I also have borderline personality disorder, and was raised by a Mother who had it as well. I know what it’s like to feel defined by something you never asked for, but I’m sure you’re so much more than what our disorder dictates. We’re our own people, and being difficult sometimes doesn’t make us any less worthwhile - if anything, we’re more interesting because we’re a little insane. Hope you enjoy.
Constantly has his hands on your hips/waist/butt because he cannot get enough of your friggin’ curves 
Randomly asks you to say specific words out loud, because he’s also 100% in love with your Brazilian accent 
Keeps insisting that you teach him how to do the samba 
Kind of just assumes you know it, because Brazil and female, but doesn’t mean anything by it
You guys start trying out moves in Belch’s living-room after school some days, even if you didn’t know it originally (which brings about some major weight loss and muscle toneage where Belch is concerned)
Eventually become proficient enough to dance-battle other couples at the drop of a hat, but the opportunity never presents itself (though Belch will always be ready)
Often asks if you think other girls in the vicinity are hot, because he’ll never stop being awestruck about the fact that you are legitimately pansexual
... Also makes him a little insecure, because he kind of feels like he can lose you to anyone, but he’s just fascinated for the most part 
Your sassiness is so on-point that you replace Patrick as the most capable roaster in the gang (which Belch loves with all of his heart)
Your sassiness in general is the chief thing that makes you stand up for Belch whenever Henry and Patrick make fun of him (i.e. at least twice a day)
Eventually gets to the point where Henry straight-up stops messing with Belch whenever you’re around, because he knows he’ll get roasted 1000x harder by you than he could ever hope to roast Belch
...Seriously, it’s so funny - Henry will very obviously think of something mean to say about Belch, turn to Patrick with a shit-eating smirk on his face, then see you glaring at him and just shut his mouth
The meanest boy in town has never been so obedient 
... Patrick stills takes verbal jabs at him 24/7 though, so have fun
Your disorder doesn’t even come up for a good while when you and Belch first get together, because Belch is just too oblivious to notice abnormal patterns of behavior 
Adjusts extremely well to any unstable moods you might have after he knows about your disorder though, and doesn’t hold it against you when you have an outburst - he’s patient, and understands that you can’t help feeling things as hard as you do 
Never really freaks out when you do something crazy and/or act crazy, because he knows that once you realize you’re being crazy, you’ll calm down and apologize
Basically just gets that most of the time all you need to do is work things out in your head, and then everything will be fine
Caters to certain aspects of your disorder so well though
Knows to give you time alone when you’re mad, knows how to help you keep things in perspective when you start to get overwhelmed, etc.
Becomes your “safe space” in a way, in that he never does anything to trigger your temper
Also he can make you laugh in less than a second if you’re in a bad mood
He’ll make you laugh even when you legitimately don’t want to, because he knows what you need in the moment, girl 
Seriously though, he’ll tickle you if he has to - Huggins knows that laughter cures all things 
So many late-night drives outside the Derry city limits - you guys just pick up some takeout, share Belch’s aux cord, and drive for miles while feeding each other various trans fats (the best kinds of fats)
You often stop somewhere (usually in an open field), put the top down, and just talk for hours while looking at the stars
Making out on the hood of the car (and sometimes getting it on in the back) is always destined to happen 
You and Belch take turns being the dominant one in bed, because switch
Starts off nervous when he has to be the dom, but legitimately starts to like being in control and taking charge in bed after a while
Ends up being a regular thing that you guys have to flip a coin to decide who’s going to be the dom for the night, because Huggins suddenly wants to do it all the time
Enjoy that for all of us - it’s very rare that a girl is special enough to give rise to dominant Belch
Great match, and one that would make Belch an extremely happy man

The story.
The story behind the hotel piccies, I mean!
Originally I had no clue where they might even be staying, since Oulu has exactly zero 5* hotels so I was kinda skeptical about JL/SL staying there overnight at all - in fact, I still think they might have only flown into town on Saturday just prior to the gig, but let´s get to that a little later! 😜
Anyway, as I stepped off the train I didn´t really have a plan in place which would have maximized my odds of running into the Letos, so I just bounced around town for a few hours - until I saw that Stevie had posted a snapshot of their hotel´s courtyard and BOOM! I recognized it as one of the central business hotel-type establishments. Not a 5* hotel by any means, but good enough for the crew obviously! 😆
So I chose to swing by the hotel as it was right around the corner, and indeed I was able to spot that errand girl Jackie and some other roadie dude goofing on bikes on the courtyard - and pretty soon SA also swerved in. I didn´t approach any of them because... why would I? Meh. Who cares. 😴
Nothing more seemed to be happening at the hotel tho so I split and went on with my day until a few hours later as I was making my way towards the marina again and I realized that the hotel was once again just around the corner, so I decided to do a little “drive-by inspection”, if you will! 🤭
And whaddya know! Who do I spot approaching the hotel? 😳
Only one of the most fervent...well, let´s just call her a “megasuperduper fangirl”. You know, the type who tours the globe after Mars and does 93 M&Gs per tour etc... 🙄
I´m not naming names here but you all know her and she has been discussed here many times. 😉
Anyway, I see she just waltzes into the hotel like no biggie (I know she didn´t stay at that hotel because she had posted from another hotel a day earlier), which got me thinking that... well, if SHE can just go into a hotel she´s not staying in, then why can´t I? 🤷🏼‍♀️
And thus I boldly followed her in - aaaaaaand almost had a stroke when I glanced at the gaggle of triad shirt-wearing females sitting around on sofas in the corner because among them was ANOTHER “megasuperduper fangirl” who is also very famous in our circles. Again, not naming names but you all know her too... 🙊
Well, “FOR REASONS” I was not about to go over there or hang around anywhere near their little sofa circle so I went and took a seat in the lobby´s kiddie play section which not only offered a power outlet for my phone but also a direct view to the elevators and main lobby. 🤟
After maybe 15 minutes or so, the echie group was suddenly summoned by SMG and led to one of the conference rooms to the side of the lobby. 
Yes I am a bit slow, but only then it clicked why that group was here. The M&G was taking place at the hotel! DOH! 🤦🏼‍♀️
For some reason I had assumed it would be at the festival backstage area like mine was in Getafe, but nope! It was at the hotel - which naturally meant that if the fans were lead to the room via the main lobby, the “band” would be too... 😯
Side note: the M&G group was TIIIIIINY! Maybe 15-18 people tops...
After the group left, mars crew activity in the lobby intensified: Matty Vogel was coming in and out with huge trunks and bags and and and some random roadie was telling him how amazing the sunset had been in Oulu the night before - confirming my suspicions that Matty had not spent the night in Oulu...
And if Matty only arrived earlier that day, I´m pretty sure so did the Letos! 🤷🏼‍♀️
SMG also popped out to the lobby and looked around all confused, obviously looking for someone but failing in it so she went back in.
Then Kenny came down to the lobby reception to ask about the wifi not working (uh oh...), and then asked them for an extension cord and scissors (ooookay...) and MAAAAAAYBE HAPPENED TO DROP THE NUMBER OF THE ROOM WHERE A CERTAIN SOMEONE WAS STAYING...😳
Oh Kennyyyyyy... Maybe keep that information a little more hush-hush...? 🤨🙉
Well, I chose not to climb up and go kick down the door for room 62X because I had already secured a nifty spot on the lobby couches so Messiah was quite safe, I assure you! 🤭
Then Kenny headed to the M&G room right past me - and let me tell you, that tiny lady looked exhausted as hell... Yawning wiiiiidely and looking slightly disheveled while constantly checking her phone. 😣
Soon she returned from the M&G room and headed up, and then in turn that new chick Jackie came down and sat down right next to me (I kept my headphones on and fiddled with my phone but I could still hear her audibly sighing (one of those annoyed-stressed sighs... Gee wonder who might be the cause of such deeeeeeeep sighs...🤔)
Only a few moments later the elevator doors pinged and...
Tumblr media
They walked SOOOOOOO close to me, SL legit could have tripped on my foot (that´s my leg/knee you can see at the bottom...) 😂
Tumblr media
When the door to the M&G room was opened, I could hear the group SINGING (I think it was WoW but can´t be sure) which is EXACTLY what Reni asked us to do in Stockholm as well, because apparently that would make the band arrive faster...
Childish much? 🙄
Also... THAT PESKY CHARLES MANSON THING JUST KEEPS CREEPING BACK INTO MIND... 😶
Anyway, I decided to double my odds of Letospotting and stayed put for the duration of the M&G, and soon I was joined by 2 Finnish drivers waiting for the band/crew to take them to the festival.
They kept chatting about how the band had ordered food to be brought backstage, but wanted it IN THE MIDDLE of their set, which made no sense to them... 🤔
And me either! 🤷🏼‍♀️
Oh except if the food items were also meant for the band´s... special guests waiting in the backstage area...
Hmmm.
Suddenly I heard noises coming from the M&G room´s direction, and I realized the event was over and got ready to get my pap on again...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JL was being EXTRA animated and lecturing Jackie about who knows what...
He def was into it, whatever “it” happened to be. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Interestingly enough, the hotel also housed a girl´s soccer team as well as other randoms, and NO ONE was allowed to use the lifts when the band was on the move!
Can´t risk those germs from normals, obviously! 🤢
MAJORLY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE!!!!!!
It felt like a really short time that the Letos spent in that room, so I checked time stamps on my pics.
The pics of them walking in were taken at 20:25, and the pics of them walking out at 20:50, which means that THE M&G IN ITS ENTIRETY AKA THE Q&A SESSION AS WELL AS THE PICS TOOK ONLY 25 MINUTES!!!
I shit you not, folks. 😶
TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES.
Granted there were less than 20 people in attendance, but that´s no excuse! In fact, had it lasted the standard 45-50 minutes, the people who had paid $300-700 for that event could have gotten an extremely cool and personal experience with plenty of time for everyone´s questions, general chat and perhaps most importantly: the pic session would not have felt like a rushed cattle drive!
But... there it is. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Twenty-five minutes is all you get for a shit ton of money, guys!
Thank the friggin´ lords above I didn´t buy a M&G because HOLY SHIT.
HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT!!!!!
Ugh. 😑💸
After the Letos disappeared upstairs, I chose to abandon my post and finally head out to the festival grounds (all the M&G folks left too so I figured if they dared to leave their Messiah, I might as well...)
Cut to an hour later, at 22:31 (only 1 minute after scheduled kick-off time whaaaaaaaaat...?!?! 😱), Monolith started booming from the speakers and show got underway.
Nothing much to add about the concert that wasn´t already mentioned in that review I posted earlier... You can still check the recording from the show on my IG for a few more hours! 😉
It really was exactly as lazy and re-re-re-re-re-re-reheated as we all suspected it to be - even down to the inbetween-song quips. 😴
“Has anyone ever heard of a song called The Kill?” 
Has anyone NOT heard that sentence before?! 😒
Doubtful. 🤷🏼‍♀️
The only memorable differences I could notice were that against all odds, SL's singing wasn't as bad as it has been previously, and that JL has graduated from shirts to hats:
Oh and of course that little outburst at Shayla was a nice touch. 👍
All in all, concert-wise I can't say I would have missed anything had I not gone to this one.
But the side events and whatnot...
Well, they were kinda amusing, not gonna lie! 😂😜

Parts 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9
{ going at this pace, i might be able to finish all 9 chapters before the next event *don’t jinx myself please* }
Tumblr media
What is it now?
[scene: takasen room]
Takaomi:
?!
Senri:
What is it now?
Takaomi:
You bastard, look at this.
Senri:
Where?
Takaomi:
The sleeve.
Senri:
The sleeve?
Takaomi:
There’s a friggin hole, you blind bastard! ! !
Senri:
Uwa, don’t scream!
Besides, I don’t see a hole…
Takaomi:
Take a good look!
Senri:
Ermmmmmmmmm, huh?
… Wait, don’t tell me you’re talking about this bit where the thread shows?  
You call this a hole… Besides, couldn’t you have mended it before?
Takaomi:
Bastard… I won’t forgive you.
Senri:
What? You’re still gonna insist I did it?
Takaomi:
It couldn’t have been anyone else but you! There’s no way I could have done it, and I’ve never brought a needle close to it!
Senri:
Well I don’t know either! It must have been like this from the start!
Takaomi:
Not possible! ! !
Senri:
Don’t shout! ! !
Takaomi:
Shut up! I’ve been sick of your crude attitude for a long time now!
Senri:
What did you say?! How am I crude-
Takaomi:
You don’t replenish the toilet paper when it runs out! You don’t bundle up the cords after you’re done gaming! And how many times do I have to tell you plastic bottles are not flammable rubbish! You don’t clean properly and leave dust on the window frame! If you’re gonna clean, you should get every nook and cranny, not just the places you can see!!!
Senri:
Mo-mother-in-law?
Takaomi:
I would refuse a bride like you! !
Senri:
I also have issues with you!
Don’t speak so self-importantly when you’re a timid lion who can’t even greet other people’s friends!
Takaomi:
! !
Kasuka:
So noisy…
Takaomi & Senri:
! ! ! !
Takaomi:
( This guy?! Since when…? )
Kasuka:
If you two get any noisier…
Slaughter.
Senri:
Sl-slaughter… ?
Takaomi:
tch How troublesome.
Senri:
Ah! You’re gonna run away?!
Takaomi:
It’s a waste of time.
Senri:
… So childish.
Takaomi:
Come again?!
Senri:
I said you’re so childish. You’re always acting cool but you’re really just-
Takaomi:
Shut your trap! If you say anymore unnecessary things I’ll really-
Kasuka:
Slaughter.
Takaomi & Senri:
! !
Kasuka:
If you don’t understand the grave sin of disrupting the peace then right here, right now, I can-
Senri:
Uwaaaaaa! Sorry, senpai! We’ll be quiet now!
Takaomi:
In any case, I don’t wanna see your mug for another second.
Senri:
! …Is that so?
If that’s the case then why don’t you find a way to leave? You like being a lone wolf anyway, right?
Takaomi:
Shut the fuck up!
[scene change: yumayana room]
Takaomi:
...i, Oi Yuma! Wake up!
Yuma:
Nnn, do you need to use the toilet?
Takaomi:
Huh?
Yuma:
Okay, big brother will go with you.
Takaomi:
Who are you confusing me with, it’s me.
Yuma:
Ah… Shishimaru… ?
Takaomi:
Let me crash here tonight.
Yuma:
Eh?

hi guys!
sooooooooooooo
here’s the thing
i was writing a request the other day, that i thought was about the rival superheroes trying to protect the same small city
apparently, it was person A who sits in the back of every staff meeting and makes snarky comments under their breath about everyone the whole time and person B who arrived late and sat next to them and can barely hold in their laughter, and i don’t know how it became the superheroes one.
BUT! thanks to my inattentiveness and general confusion, i finally have some writing to share with you guys hahahaha!
to that anon who sent in the request: i am so sorry that this wasn’t what you asked for. i promise i’m getting it done!
in the meantime, i hope you guys enjoy this one!
- admin may
Silly but cute AU prompts: #1 - rival superheroes who are trying to protect the same small city
KUROO
“Damn it, you cat!” you screamed from where you were dangling from a streetlight. “I told you, I’ve got this!” You wiggled around, trying to squirm your way out of the fuzzy ties that the stupid Maneki Neko bound you with. You’d already told him when you were racing to the source of the disturbance that you had the situation handled, but noooooo. He apparently had to tie you down just to keep you from beating him to it.
Letting out an irritated grunt, you inched your hands together and managed to press the button that freed the retractable blade in your costume. The ties ripped apart and you swung your arm outward, slicing through the annoying black fur and hemp cords. As you fell, you twisted and managed to land on your feet.
Your face probably looked really scary to any passer-by as you continued running towards the explosion, grumbling about the stupid cat trying to hog all the glory along the way.
When you were finally in interfering distance, close enough to get a good shot at the ugly dude’s head, you stopped, drew a fire arrow from your quiver, pulled it back, and let go. It pierced the monster’s eye deep and the creature howled in pain as the arrow started to burn. That let Maneki Neko deliver the final blow. The creature went out in smoke, and you were fuming as well.
As you rushed towards the site of the wreckage, you, not for the first time, contemplated the merits of shooting an ice arrow into the stupid cat’s head and having superhero jurisdiction over the city by yourself.
“Hey, Sharp Shooter,” said stupid cat hollered as you stomped forward. “Nice shot there. You really live up to your name, don’t you?” He let out a chuckle. Maybe it was the pun, maybe he just loved seeing you rushing towards a battle already lost—or won, on his part.
You rolled your eyes. “Ha ha. We both know you wouldn’t compliment me on that if I were close enough to make a regular shot, Copy Cat.”
“Hey!” he shouted. “Don’t call me that!”
“Why not? That’s what your name is, though!”
“Ugh,” he said, spinning around as if trying to erase your existence. “I can’t believe you. Just because I beat you to the monster this time, too—,”
“You cheated and you know it!” you yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him. “You tied me to a streetlight!”
He raised his latex-clad arms in appeasement. “Hey. I just thought the monster was stronger than your usual gig and that you might get hurt.” He shrugged and shook his head, the look on his face anything but remorseful. “I was only thinking of your well-being, Sharpie.”
If this were a cartoon, a red vein would for sure pop out of your forehead at being nicknamed a waterproof marker brand. “Don’t call me that, please.” You breathed out, trying your best to calm down. “And just so you know, I could have beaten in if you hadn’t cheated and freakin’ tied me to streetlight!”
Maneki Neko sputtered out a laugh. “Yeah, right. We both know you couldn’t take it down by yourself.” He crossed his arms and tilted his chin smugly the sky.
You raised an eyebrow. “Neither could you. It looked like you were having a hard time back there before I swooped in and saved your ass.”
The smug smile was wiped off his face in an instant. Maneki Neko whipped his head towards you, indignant. “You did not! You barely nicked the thing in the face! It would’ve gone berserk and leveled the whole town if I hadn’t finished it off!”
Your face was the epitome of affronted. Scoffing, you answered, “Not true! If I hadn’t made tinder out of its eye, you would’ve been done for, you puny little cat!”
“Excuse me? I am way taller than you, shorty—Actually, you know what? You should have just called yourself ‘Short Shooter’ because you sure as hell already look the part!”
“Oh my god! You have no room to say that, kitty, because you are a friggin’ giant!”
“Well at least I don’t play with sticks like a little kid!”
You let out a theatrical gasp. “Oh, that is low, Neko, I can’t believe you!”
There was a strained silence for a while as you both cooled down from the name-calling. This honestly tired you out more than charging at the monster. But it was probably because you were trying to insult a 6’1” man dressed like a cat, complete with ears and a tail. Not to mention, said man was dressed head-to-toe in a latex body suit. This whole thing was just ridiculous.
There was a sputter, and then full-blown laughter. The next thing you knew, Maneki Neko was on his back and laughing his brains out. At the sight of him curled up on the ground and one of his latex ears falling off the costume, you ended up giggling like a maniac, as well.
When you both finally calmed down, you offered the feline-obsessed man a hand and pulled him up. “What’s the score, again?” he asked as he dusted himself off.
You reached for the little pouch that hung on your belt and withdrew an even smaller notepad. You flipped to the near end, where there was a scoreboard of monster kills and assists.
You smirked, and drew a line on Makeni Neko’s side. “Looks like, I’m still in the lead, Copy Cat. 17-15.”
“WHAT?” he yelled, and swiftly grabbed the pad from your hands before you could even blink.
Neko shook his head—in denial, probably—as he tallied the strokes in his head. “No… No, this can’t be possible; I know I took down more monsters than you—AH! YOU MUST HAVE CHEATED!”
Another affronted look situated itself on your face. “I did not! I’m just better than you at killing monsters!”
A swarm of news reporters and cameramen appeared out of nowhere before he could reply, and you hurriedly made yourself scarce.
And thank god they showed up. You could finally get back home and get ready for your blind date. It had been a while since you’d gone on a date, and you did not want to fuck this one up.
TSUKISHIMA
“How many times have we done this, seriously?” T-Rex was standing above you, a hand held out for you to take. You grabbed it and hauled yourself up. Mad props to him for still being willing to help you, even if you were covered in slime (a.k.a. monster spit).
You sighed, doing your best to wipe some gunk off your face and arms. “Thanks, T-Rex.”
“When we got the alert for this monster, I told you I could have handled it, myself,” he said, casually taking pictures with his phone of the monster with a huge tree trunk lodged in its chest. “But you kept insisting that you could do it. And now you’re covered in monster saliva.”
You turned redder with each word that he said, impatient to get the fight over with and keep the city safe. (Also because you had a date and you didn’t want to be late, but that was another story for another time.)
“I mean,” he continued, “I had told you that your fire powers wouldn’t work on this monster, but you still rushed off and just started assaulting it with your pyrokinetics.” A snap from his phone camera. “Amazing.”
You sighed, frustrated. “Yeah, okay, so I was rash. But at least the thing’s dead now,” you said, giving the head of the monster a little kick… And then promptly slipping on the slime surrounding the beast, thereby splashing yourself with its rancid saliva once again.
You were so gonna get this costume deep-cleaned when you were gone.
You heard a snicker in front of you, flushing an even brighter red than your extravagantly designed costume. “Don’t laugh, please,” you said pathetically.
T-Rex extended his hand out to you once again. You took it, and then pulled with all your might so he fell into the smile face-first. You stood quickly, a devious grin on your face as you hopped away a few steps from the fallen hero.
“Let’s see how you like being in the slime now, T-Rex!” you laughed in glee.
Fast as lightning, T-Rex spun around, still in the mud, and captured your leg. He dragged it, so you fell into the icky slime again.
“Payback,” he said simply.
“Oh come on,” you said helplessly, giving up and just letting your head fall into the patch of slime you fell in, essentially letting your hair get covered in the sticky substance. All this gunk was impossible to take out with just one wash, and you feared you might have to reschedule the blind date your friend set up. Damn T-Rex.
“You know if you had just stopped to listen to me earlier, you wouldn’t be covered in slime right now,” he said quietly beside you, still on his stomach and refusing to get any more slime on any other part of his body.
“Give me a break, T-Rex,” you sighed. “You know I had to get rid of this monster fast. Plus, it was mine to kill this time, too.”
“I am well aware of that, but I could have given the next two to you.”
“Supposing you didn’t, though?”
“Yeah, that’s a possibility.”
“See?” you replied, raising your arms for emphasis, but only succeeding in splattering your face with slime. “That’s why I carefully monitor who’s going to save the day whenever a monster pays a visit.” You let the slime drip, knowing that you’d only make it worse if you made to wipe it with your hand or arm.
“Or, you know, you could have listened to me first before charging in. That way we could’ve devised a plan to kill it without you getting so much slime on yourself.”
“God, you’re stubborn about this.”
“Well, you were stubborn about attacking it with fire, too.”
“Touché.”
You two laid there in silence for a little while, resigning yourself to the fact that you were going to be late, and your date would think you stood them up. Finally you said, “Have you ever thought of leaving this town, T-Rex?”
“No,” he said plainly. “Have you?”
“Nope,” you answered just as straight. You’ve lived in this town since you were born, and if a monster were to come knocking, you would be the first in line to risk your life in order to protect it.
“Why not, though?” T-Rex asked. “There are plenty of big cities who need more heroes. Why not try one of those?”
“I like it here. I don’t want to leave.”
T-Rex was silent for a minute, probably contemplating the meaning behind your answer before finally saying, “Well, you’re not gonna leave, and I’m not gonna leave, so expect the two of us to keep fighting over fighting villains for the rest of our lives.”
You almost laughed. T-Rex rarely made jokes, so this was nice.
“Looking forward to it, T-Rex.”

I Told You So!
Dear Seeker of Success,
I’ve been told by some of the people who know me best that, at times, I can actually have something of an “obnoxious” personality.
Can you believe that anyone would think that of your dear, sweet, modest, unassuming Guru of Getting Some?
Oh well…..people’s lack of understanding and insight truly abounds!
Anyway, one of my (allegedly) more obnoxious traits is to crow about it and get all puffed up when someone who doubted me comes to see that I am right!
Now, I have to say, that when students are first exposed to my material, often times…
They Are Filled With Doubt!
I don’t take offense to this, really.
What I am teaching really is radically different from the trite dating tips, “pick up lines”, seduction advice and “men as bullies or beggars” scenarios that are offered up on these Interwebs.
So you ought to be at least a little skeptical when something truly different comes along.
Most radically different is, I teach that things like “vibe” and “energy” and “mind to mind connection” are not just sloppy New Age, airy-fairy fantasies, but that they actually are…
…Powerful, Practical Tools That Work!
Tools that can take a guy who has been stuck in his left-brained, internal-dialogue way of thinking and help him produce radical change.
Now, one thing I teach a lot about is the power of breath and guided intent to make you much more attractive to women and it pleases me like crazy to hear from guys that I am right.
To that end, here’s an interesting story from a student that I think you will particularly enjoy, especially about one VERY unusual result that even I never expected!
Dear Ross, I too have the Fear into Charisma Video (that’s inside the Power Pack) along with 70% of your stuff…
I’ve done so many of the exercises(fire breath, inner circle, bouncing ball, etc) I don’t know which one is responsible for the attention anymore.
The result is that I have a highly charged state all the time — A girl who wasn’t that into me showed up unexpectedly after a rehearsal late Monday night, and she got me to spend some time with her.
Another nice side effect is that my senses are now heightened, meaning that I can sense when a woman is checking me out. I had no idea I was that attractive until I felt that…”cord of light, going from me to three other girls.”–lol! Seriously though, girls are approaching me despite of myself.
I can also now sense if a girl is “ready” — (it happened twice so far, and still freaks me out)there’s an energetic surge between the solar plexus and the groin area in my case.
In both instances,the women were very excited(and leaking s*xual energy) when they were talking to me.
I find the Magickal Self ritual to be very powerful. The inner circle version along with the fire breathing has yielded incredible results. People in my circle now view me with certain awe and respect(my sister-in-law has a crush on me-lol!). I have never been happier in my life.”
RJ – Wow. I know the Fear To Charisma stuff works to get girls, but to get your sister-in-law to have a crush on you?
Now, if guys can get their mothers-in-law to have a crush on them, I’d make a friggin’ fortune.
In any case, congrats on having the guts to try on some things that are totally new and different, but as I am fond of saying….
I told you so!
Anyway, good luck and keep going with the awesome success!
Peace,
RJ
P.S. Is it really true that some of you still don’t have the Rapid and Total Success with Women System yet?
The flagship product that has what you need to sweet talk your way into any woman’s heart AND naughty regions without canned pick-up lines, trite “dating tips” and all that stupid stuff that forces men to be “bully or beggar.”

The most Scariest and Blessed day of my life so far.
I have never been so scared in my entire life until that day came. I’ll tell the whole story here on tumblr.
My due date was on the July 15th of the year 2015. 2 weeks before the due date, my awesome OB performed and IE and told me that I should walk at least 200m to 500m a day to avoid a cesarean section. So on those past few days before due date, I managed to walk to some parts of our village and completed what the ob said.
On our second to the last appointment, I was still 2cm dilated, our ob said after the IE. Still in dismay, I asked questions on how to resolve the problem and might want other plans just in case. She said that we still have our last week to adhere to the parameters needed to have a Normal delivery. If it didn’t work, she’ll have to induce the labor to avoid stress to the baby. Also she saw some white-ish particles in the ultrasound (white ink on the ultrasound is what you can see on the ultrasound like the baby, some particles and other thing-y, and the black ink particles there is the water.) It could be the baby’s poop or the water level is too thick. (The water is too mature and starting to degrade *not a healthy sign when the baby is still inside*)

Then the next day, I started to walk twice the length of the first prescription. Then the last check up came. It was July 15, 2015. OB performed IE and still, i was still 2 cm dilated. I am expecting that I am at least 4-5 cm dilated. I was so disappointed that day.
Then, our OB gave us a choice to wait for a week or to perform an Induced Labor the next day pronto. We decided to get the baby out the next day. I arranged my things, phone, towel and the baby bag.
On July 16, 2015, Me and The Husband went to the hospital. We filled up the sheets and all, while I’m still waiting for my natural labor to come. After 2-3 hours, the nurse put on an IV on me. I can’t remember what it is I think Oxytocin. My sister came and she’s all out support. (goodie)

I was hungry so Hubs went to buy noodles. Then My OB came and said I can’t eat anymore due to the IV. ughhh. Fast forward, I was being induced that moment. It was 4:00 pm. I was transferred to the 2nd floor. where the labor room, operating room, and the nursery/NICU room are. Then there’s so many nurses and I was still in bed. Then they transferred me to another wheeled bed and I waited for like an hour outside the rooms. I can’t feel any pain. Then, they attached some things on my Belly. It’s a machine that can monitor your contractions. 
It’s like a lie detector test but attached to my belly. Once the thin needle draw earthquake like readings, I just felt some tingling sensation. Then they said, that’s it, it’s a contraction! But I said, is that it? I mean it’s not painful at all. They said, I have a strong pain tolerance. Other mum’s out there felt that painful enough to push. (I felt those tingling sensations 1 and a half weeks prior to this scenario so I guess i was unconsciously having contractions for like 1 and a half weeks until this. :> )
Next thing I know I was transferred again to another room, the Labor room where I had to be induced until the next morning. That whole day was a tiring day since you've haven't had any food, when I was inside the room, that's where all the pain started. The contractions are getting bigger and stronger and longer to the point that I'm making painful gestures with all the wires attache to me and my belly because of the IV Drip. I took a photo of my belly dull of stretch marks to ease the pain. The contractions were a 5-10minute apart. And the nurses are always there, friendly and always checking on me. They even turned off the lights so that I could sleep.
The next day came, July 17, 2015 5am and no progress yet. Still 2cm dilated. Oh by the way, I had 2 female nurses and 1 male nurse which is very friendly and all out support on me too since he knew my sister, he was always on my call. So glad! If it wasn't for him our bills had started to sky-rocket! He said it's the nurses' prerogative to check for the used meds and all but this male nurse, he came into conclusion that I wasn't even in the OR yet and still inside the Labor Room which is BTW has minimal charge unlike if I was staying in the hospital room sooo, yep, good point nurse!
Also, since I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, he said, he will give me food(thank you po lord) but it's our(and the female nurses) secret coz we're not allowed to eat in here. Lol
The monde's mamon and 1 skyflakes pack is all I got to munch on but nonetheless, it sufficed.
Then every 5 mins of all the hours remaining until 6pm in the afternoon is painful since the ob said we need to add dosage to the IV so that I could be in total-labor. That's a total bummer.
3pm, I saw a woman on a hospital bed i think she's injected with anesthesia and the sleeping drug already since she's very calm and she was just on the room for like 5minutes and after that, she went straight to the OR and then performed scheduled C-section. After about 2-3 hours, she was on the labor room again and she's groggy due to the operation.
(I think much better to go with the scheduled one so you wouldn’t endure the pain of an induced one, still, the choice is yours!)
Fast forward, I was very stressed due to the contractions and I haven't eaten anything yet since yesterday and I was all alone in the room without the husband nor the sister. We just communicate through texts.
6:10pm the ob came and said it's time to do the inevitable.
***Cesarean-section***
so I was in labor for a total of 24 hours plus+++++. 😭
I was very nervous that time. So many what if's and all. Someone gave me papers to sign for the approval of doing the c-Section procedure. And then they proceeded to put me into the Operating room. Hubby isn’t allowed at the OR idk why I think, hispital rules? The nurses transferred me to a cross like operating bed and waited for the anesthesiologist to inject some on my spine.
They said this part was a very painful one but It doesn't friggin' hurt. I think i just felt an ant bite on my back but it doesn't really hurt. I think I just had the best anesthesiologist in town.(and a pricey one too 😂)
Anyways after that it immediately spread unto the lower part if my body until the ob came and she said to fasten my arms to the crossed➕ bed and they're checking on my bp. I had High BP that time since I was very nervous. And the aircon was on my feet. Its very cold and I dont know what to expect. Also the very unexpected shoulder dance! After they injected some med on the IV, My shoulders started to shudder like crazy! It’s like I was limbo rocking in the OR ofc without any prizes and consolations. The doctors inside told me it was perfectly normal. But wth I didn’t know about and didn’t signed up for that. LOL—
Anyways, we waited for my bp to low down until the ob sent the go signal.
This time They put a green barrier on my chest and lower stomach so i can't see how they slice up my belly.
Then the ob asked what would be the type of cut I want, bikini or normal cut, she said it doesn't have a difference in terms of the price since it's always up to the doctors to put their price tag on that, so I said, “Okay Doc, Bikini Cut!”
Then she started. They were chatting while cutting me! They’re like conyo and laughing but I don’t mind, it eases my mind and their conversation felt comfortable, they’re also chatting with me a little (para mapa-kalma ako) the anesthesiologist and my ob. And then after 20 minutes or so, she said,
“Oh, that's why he hasn't gone down on you because he's had two umbilical cord on his neck!”
2 rounds of umbilical cord on his neck?!—
When I heard that, I was like, WTF! You wanna die even before you're born? Lol Anyways. I was shocked and at the same time grateful to my ob since she didn't hesitate to decide on doing the procedure later.
The I heard him crying! Goodness gracious! It was a very tearful moment but I didn't cry. Lol he was put on my chest and unto my breast to start latching but I dunno he can't but whatevs. (We did delay cord-clamping, best decision ever)
After that the anesthesiologist came and put on the sleeping drug so that they can continue to the operation and stitched my belly back.
After 1 minute, I was very sleepy and blacked out for realzz. The moment I woke up I was in the Labor room already and the pedia checked on me and told me my baby was on the NICU and my husband was with the baby and all things doctor-ish that I can't totally remember because I was friggin groggy. Then after that I passed out again, I was then transferred to my room at about 10pm that day and I can't stand nor put my upper body up because it's so painful and the doctor advised me not to get up yet.
When the baby's there, I can’t see him kasi the cot is high so I got my phone and took a picture of him while laying on the bed. Lol.
But this momma is pasaway so she got up and tried to breastfeed the bear, hence the photo below:

Anyways. That's it!
