I need to say that it’s truly amazing how easy it is to be a good person when you mind your own business about how people view themselves. Some men use she/her? Fantastic. Somebody uses it/its? Phenomenal. Some people think of themselves as an animal sometimes? You do you bud.
It is so easy to just go with the flow. Do I understand it? Nah. Do I need to, in order to respect them? Nope!
yes, their close platonic relationship in canon is important to me specifically because it's both close and platonic
yes, I also ship them romantically, or as part of a romantic poly ship
I refuse to lock myself into a single interpretation of a fictional relationship when there's multiple interesting ways to view it. I can do both
Because it could have been us.

twenty years across the sea
i was at the beach with my family yesterday. we picked up pretty rocks that we liked, by ourselves. my cousin showed me one that he liked, and i got my uncle to wash off one that i liked in the ocean. my rocks are different from my brother’s rocks, which are different from my aunt’s rocks, and on and on through my family. but we all picked up rocks.
the thing is, that beach isn’t particularly lonely. it wasn’t crowded, but we certainly weren’t the only ones picking stones.
it got me thinking about how so many people have done the same thing: picked up pretty rocks at that beach. but i saw my pretty rocks, and i didn’t really look at the rocks that my dad did, or that my cousin did. and so many people have picked up their pretty rocks but ignored the ones i found, the ones i have now.
there’s a metaphor in there somewhere, i know it.
My gel might not be the same as yours but my doctor (who specializes in HRT and trans health and has won awards) said it doesn’t matter exactly when you take it.
It just has to be in the safe areas (avoid your chest/groin, hopefully self-explanatory), it has to dry without being touched (the dose I’m at takes ~20 minutes), and you can’t double-dose within twelve hours. So, for me, if I put the stuff on around say ten at night (2200) I have to wait until ten the next morning (1000) to put on the next dose.
Most people do it in the morning if they shower in the evening, since you should ideally wait 4 ish hours iirc before submerging the gel site.
HELLO PEOPLE OF TUMBLR WHO MAY TAKE TESTOGEL. I REQUIRE ADVICE! MY DOCTOR TAKES A LONG TIME TO RESPOND.
Anyway, I take my testogel in the mornings, at 8am if I can. I'm disabled so I do end up missing a few days from forgetting or not having enough energy in the morning to do it, AND I want to start swimming in the mornings, but I know you can't shower within 6 hours of application and I assume swimming in a public pool is not the best idea, I don't want to contaminate people. Is it possible to switch to applying it at night? I'm going to ask my doctor whenever he next decides to give a fuck about me but I thought I'd ask anyway 😭
you punch nazis!

So obsessed with the idea of a whumpee being defiant to caretaker because in the past getting care only made the torture so much worse, still not realizing that there is no more torture and it's time to heal
and they have that "oh" moment when they actually find out they're safe
