so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

#where's the word woman in this u might wonder if u suck #good news i am nonbinary and have a uterus so that is something that can happen #im also gender fluid tho which means im immune to certain psychic damage bc if u call me a woman i'll be like <3 okay <3 #writeblr #the tightrope of ''ppl need access to this''#and like also #''what the fuck is going on over there'' is like. so difficult as an activist #i was <3 punctured <3 during mine #and almost bled out on the table :) they didn't have anyone standing by bc it's ''just a little insertion''#so i started crashing and i vaguely remember apologizing for the fuss as i heard my heart rate monitor start going <3 tachycardic <3 #she wasn't even a bad doctor tbh #ps btw the reason i even HAD a heart monitor is that i have a genuine heart condition and they knew GOING IN that there was a chance #i'd crash on the table #like my heart just likes to do fun little tricks and <3 stop working <3 (i do not want to discuss the specifics ty i am okay im ontop of it #and they were like 'oh u will be fine' and then she did do a puncture thru my uterus . pop!#and im sitting there dizzy and feeling my heartrate start to drop bc it feels almost. beautiful. like. the whole ground just #woosh! out from under you. and shit is like grey's anatomy. i'm looking up at her grey eyes #she's old she wears this nice shawl she's like got Cool Lesbian vibes and people are sprinting into the room #from other parts of the clinic unrelated to me. while the monitor is like a little aria singing #and shes like hey youre okay stay awake stay with me something went wrong we have to keep trying #and i remember thinking - i was trying to think of nice things. i have so many beautiful places that now overlap #with this terrible memory #i became dimly aware that there was too much on her wrists and hands. like #that was too many liters #and then when they had finished all this. i packed up and drove myself home #i have had (bad thing) happen to me. and the same feeling happened after #that numb almost lamblike bleating. you cry without noise. like. ur body is so shocked and ur mind so empty #you just stare at the road and everything everything is happening behind glass and static and you are standing so far away from it #while you hold ur hands at 10 and 2. and something in ur brain is SCREAMING at you - IT WAS BAD AND IT SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED #and ur just watching the alarms in your body going off and youre thinking. a little pinch! ha. i think i just lost something important.

🎶 The Crown…

Pix now wears the Crown… 🎶

—

The moment of recognition when that ancient and powerful thing deep in the catacombs… discovers the Crown.

#empires smp #pixlriffs #empires smp fanart #pixlriffs fanart #empires fanart #empires pixlriffs #empiresblr #floweroflaurelin art #mcyt fanart #mcyt #mcytblr #gif #animated #aha! by making that post about not having time to make fanart I tricked you all into not expecting any #thus freeing myself from the pressure of feeling like I have to get fanart done for major story beats #and allowing me to have the motivation to procrastinate my thesis and make stuff for fun instead!#anyway this is the same crown design I did AGES ago but it’s all tarnished now #I’m so excited to have it back the way everyone covets it is so good #I mean THEE historian sees it and instead of preserving it he puts it on his head and comments on how well it fits??#he’s never had any interest in telling people what to do and then declares himself king and threatens those who disobey with ‘punishment’??#everyone who sees it is driven to do anything in their power to get it for themselves?#what does the Crown want. what does it get out of this. it is so very much a cursed object and I love it

no it's fine this mind flayer is totally my friend and 100% honest with me all the time it's ok it likes me everything's so normal

#bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #i love how raphael directly calls you out on this. 'if id have known you were so gullible i wouldve tricked you into selling your soul for #a bowl of beans when we first met'#and then just keeps insulting you more if you keep insisting emp's really your ally #oc: impulse #sure this'll go in their tag #everything about impulse's Thing with the emperor is so funny to me. and then deeply fucked up if you think about it long enough. and then #really funny again if you think about it even longer #one day i'll do their 2.0 playthrough so i can fully form all my thoughts. and get better screenshots and the ceremorphosis ending #i mean there's nothing stopping me from loading an impulse 1.0 save and going ceremorphosis from there but idk it'd feel wrong #impulse has more tadpoles in their brain than synapses by act 3 and it does really fundamentally change them as a person #tfw your chaotic neutral act-first-ask-questions-never no-impulse-control 17 CHA bestie becomes one of the most detached calculating people #you've ever met. all their old casual wit and humor is still there but they think before they speak now and that really shouldnt feel as #sinister as it does. they have this look in their eye and it feels like they view everyone around them as lesser beings #not because they view other people as subhuman or worse than they are but because they view themself as something *more*#if they have any raw unfiltered emotion left you haven't seen it in weeks. there's one person(?) who gets Unrestrained Feelings privileges #and it's the fucking illithid that lives in their mind and not any of their actual non-monster normal-ish-person friends. that human #connection is fading so fast now. when did they change so much? it happened so slowly in the moment but suddenly now they seem like they #were never the person you became friends with at all #and like impulse is a pretty selfish person from the start but they *did* genuinely like and care about the rest of the party. they were #friends. and by the end of act 3 that friendship should be the deepest and most meaningful it's ever been. but. it just isn't.#so on and so forth etc etc like that. All That Bullshit makes their relationship with lae'zel so interesting (and upsetting) too #they encourage her to side against vlaakith and then they never even try to free orpheus for her and her people's sake. they never even #think about it. they never consider it as an option. they just don't care. and then they EAT HIS BRAIN.#very possibly RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER.#and she's just left adrift. a rebel with no rebellion to lead and very little hope #i'm unwell.#ok i'm done this is a silly meme post. but god i have so many thoughts i have barely been keeping contained

#credit to @jedimandalorian for that close-up screencap of Ezra #it’s a perfect shot honestly 🤣#that’s his body language while saying something he and Sabine both know to be hilariously untrue????#you know when they saw each other in the WBW Ezra should have asked Palpatine for tips on how to tell a convincing lie #golden opportunity right there!#but instead he did…this #that’s the Watsonian angle #but here’s the Doylistic take on all this: are we SUPPOSED to believe that Ezra means that?????????#is Dave trying to gaslight us because we all saw that crush back in S1 #and you’ve gotta pull off some incredible mental gymnastics to fool yourself into thinking Ezra’s fumble with Alrich…#…doesn’t mean he’s still crushing #(although it’s way more than a juvenile crush at that point)#anyway I guess we’re gonna find out what nasty tricks Cowboy Man has up his sleeve #sabezra #ezra bridger #sabine wren #kanan jarrus #ahsoka spoilers #ahsoka series #sabezra memes

Going back to this thing briefly

When adapting this chapter into an episode Toei did not explain nor demonstrate to us what the fuck that spike was (instead they gave us Sables #378545), so we're no closer to finding out what kinda new moves Crocodile might have up his sleeve, whether that really was a Haki-infused sand spike or what

But when I was checking the melting point of sand out of curiosity (to figure out if Crocodile has a fighting chance against Akainu, which in theory he does because Akainu isn't hot enough to melt sand (in theory)), I was reminded of the fact that sand is mostly made of silica

Or, in other words, quartz. Sand is, on average, made of crystal. Of course, sand is also made of other things and other minerals (not just quartz), but if we wanted to assume Croc's DF is made of one element and one element alone, then let's just assume it's 100% silica, right

And now I can't help but to wonder now though

Could Crocodile have learned a new technique where he somehow compresses and hardens his sand so much it can turn into large, solid crystals? Or more specifically, sharp pointy stabby weapons to murder people with? 'Cause. How fucking cool would that be

Also considdering how much Crocodile likes his bling, being able to form crystals to murder people with would arguably be on-brand for him

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #OP Spoilers #HashtagGiveCrocodileGaudyBlingAttacks2024 #Don't get me wrong I do want him to have Haki too #I just. If he could infuse his elemental attacks with Haki that would be broken as fucking hell and too fucking OP let's be real #'Cause it would mean all the other Logia users should be able to do the same and that's. Oh man that would be broken as hell #But if Crocodile did just learn a new fancy trick that's unique to his Logia then that would be cool as hell and exclusively power HIM up #(Also it would be in-character since Crocodile's supposed to keep on improving his abilities and not stagnate etc etc)#Only counter argument is that if he was able to form crystals (or glass) by compressing his sand enough like. What would be the benefit #Because sure he'd be able to form solid objects that way but solid objects can be broken and shattered #Where as the sand is just. Sand.#Like if he attacked with a crystal blade you could stop the attack because it's a solid object and/or break the blade #But if it's sand then it's not a solid mass the same way. You can't stop it or break it the same way #Although crystals could be more reliable in a wet environment or like. If it was really windy???????? IDK #There's potential for something cool here that's for sure. Oda please I just want to see Crocodile murder some people!! Release the husband

Trick or treat!🎃🍫

since you were interested in Vegas youtube fic, a lil snip from that! :D

“I’m so glad my Pete left the last guy for you,” Grandma tells Vegas happily.

Vegas narrows in on all the wrong parts of that sentence. “Last guy?” he demands.

“Last guy?” Pete echoes, baffled. He certainly doesn’t remember introducing Grandma to any guys. There weren’t even any guys to introduce, unless he counts that one time he and Ken pretended to be a couple to get free cake when they were on Kim’s duty or all the times Porsche got flirty-drunk. What guy?

“Oh, you know,” Grandma says with an impatient wave and a raspberry, “that nice one on the phone who took you on vacation before you quit.”

Pete and Vegas carefully don’t look at each other. Macau’s eyes swivel between them, looking increasingly baffled but too scared to ask, and Pete carefully doesn’t look at him either. He looks at Grandma, who’s mashing taro without a care in the world.

“…Ah,” Pete says. It’s the best he can manage in the circumstances.

“Right. Him,” Vegas says casually, in that strange way where he can refer to his personas like they’re their own people. His eyes dart between Pete and Grandma, biting the inside of his cheek for a flashing second before another one of his masks slips into place. “You didn’t like him?”

Grandma scrunches her nose and Pete watches more filters fall over Vegas’s eyes. “He was so…nice.”

All of Vegas’s masks crack and crash as he blinks at Grandma and her derision. Grandma scoffs.

“What’s my Pete going to do with a nice boy?” Grandma tuts and pats Vegas’s cheek. “No, you’re much better. You actually have personality.”

She nods decisively and turns back to their food preparation, oblivious to Vegas’s wet-eyed look of awe. Pete feels something inside him ease as he watches Vegas try and fail to bite back a fragile smile and a lot of teary feelings before he walks over to Macau and his camera.

“Hey—!” Macau protests as Pete stops and deletes the recording. He visibly bites back his first two (likely loud) shouts and gives Pete a look of utter frustration.

Pete smiles his Young Master Smile and shuts the camera off. “We have other recordings. This one’s just for us.”

#kinnporsche #vegaspete #fic: gone fishing #hi are you all ready for the PETES GRANDMA IS THE BEST gospel!#canon did nothing with her which means i get to make her my EVERYTHING ❤️#she and vegas should become gossip bitch kitchen besties #vegas deserves a grandma in his corner and petes grandma deserves two rich young men who want to dote on her #trick or treat special

ive made myself more wet and pathetic

#new icon because im SUFFERING. im in HELL #its so bad. i had to sign out of discord so now im both lonely and stressed #because i KNOW im still gonna get dstracted. i just did making this URGH #how good are brains at working around things. i once set a 7AM alarm on my phone with snooze cause i was so sure my brain would #be too lazy and keep snoozing instead of actually turning it off. but nay it either kept sleeping through the alarms and snoozing #or actually managed to turn off the alarm half awake that i barely remembered it and then waking up late #i actually have a track record of climbing out of bed and turning my alarm off without remembering. which is impressive bc i have a loftbed #the other thing is setting fake deadlines so make myself panic into doing things ahead of time. but unfortunately that doesnt work either #because if theres one thing my brain will put all its energy into remembering its self assurance. meaning i WILL be able to remember #the real deadline even if i try to trick myself. cant ask someone to give me a fake deadline either #the only things keeping me going rn is that i have deadlines due at least 1 day between each other and excitement being able to talk with #crow after break. but you can see how well thats going <- ignores long term rewards in favor of short term pleasure #BTW CROW IF YOURE READING THIS IM SO SORRY TURNING OFF MY DISCORD WITH BARELY ANY EXPLANATION #im a huge fucking dumbass and i had barely enough impulse control not to block everyone in my dms because i realized that would send a real #really bad msg. youre not distracting me im distracting myself and i promise youre not annoying me i just really like talking to you and #thats why im just barely stopping myself from signing in. I WANT TO TALK TO U LOTS BUT AT THE SAME TIME IM KICKING MYSELF FOR DOING IT #you can be a little mad at me btw cause i definitely could have done that better but i was all over the place abt how to do it without #making u think im ignoring you. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SORRY #yapping #doodles #puppysona #edit but last week i tried to schedule and give myself work periods and break periods using my class schedule #and reminders on my phone to tell me when to start and stop. can you guess what happened

I’m starting to think the term greebled is not a real word people use outside the robot fandom

#because I have seen it outside of transformers #but it’s only ever. one step removed #and on the flip side every time I use it in real life conversation no one knows what I mean #or at the very least will be able to guess but comment on how they’ve never heard the expression before #guys did you all trick me into thinking this was a normal phrase?#(said in the tone of a dad whose been pranked by their elementary school aged kids)#mac mumbles

it's kinda funny to me that interviewers still think THEY are special and THEY are gonna be the one to make jannik answer the questions he never answers (fully) and give away more than he wants to... you're literally not gonna make him publicly say anything he doesn't mean to say no matter who you are sorry

#like.#that vanity fair interviewer trying to play chess with jannik and also psychoanalyzing his body language i'm #dude even i know his body language when he doesn't want to answer a question that doesn't mean you have the upper hand over him sorryy #also trying to be like “oh i know you don't want to answer these kinds of questions! let me try to make you anyway by being 'sneaky' tho”#IT DOESN'T WORKKKKK MY GUY!#this isn't even like a critique it's just like. it's not gonna work. why are you even trying #i understand that's their job it's just like. funny. jannik is not gonna fall for cheap tricks #but yeah we did get i guess confirmation that he wants to protect the people close to him AND that he sees it as a duty #which tbh i knew already but still #nico.txt
