YESS REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!!!

Ok I literally had a dream of this 😂

Can you write something where the reader is pregnant with Daryl’s baby (they have been a couple pretty much since the beginning) and he does not know she is pregnant. She’s terrified to tell him and stuff, in her mind if you don’t think about it than it isn’t real. So she’s hidden her pregnancy well for the past few weeks…one day her and Daryl (and anyone else you’d like to include) are out walking and they are high up on a high. They take a break and miles and miles away in the distance they see a gigantic herd. When the reader sees this she panics and starts crying cause she’s absolutely terrified to bring a baby into this world and stuff like that. Daryl sees her in tears, asking her what’s wrong and she tells him. His reaction can be whatever you’d like.

Thanks!!!

Hii Anon!!😊

I liked your idea/dream 🤭 but I changed some things I hope you don't mind and you'll like the story as well.

Enjoy!!

"Have you lost your mind!?" Denise shouts at you as you enter Alexandria again. "How can you even think of going on a mission in your state?!"

"Yer state?" Daryl looks at you confused and you feel yourself struggling to breathe. Denise is suddenly speechless.

"You didn't tell him?"

"Told me what?" he growls looking at the two of you, frowning.

**********

Pregnant...

Denise's words keep ringing in your ears, you're unable to get out of your stupor at the same time as your friend's smile grows wider and wider, but you can't reciprocate.

It's impossible for you to be pregnant.

You have never been able to get pregnant before and the few times you did, you had aborts because your pH was too acidic for sperm and you had a genetic problem with your blood, it was thicker than normal and you would get clots; which caused the fetus to have complications and you would abort. So you were very doubtful that now, in this shitty world you could make it.

But apparently Daryl Dixon had a magic penis and had managed to hit the bull's eye.

"Are you okay?" Denise looks at you worried since you haven't reacted yet.

No, you're not okay, there are a lot of doubts suddenly assailing you. How are you going to tell Daryl, how is he going to react, what if he doesn't want to have kids?

You know Daryl likes kids, always keeping an eye on Carl, with Judith he created a special bond, but this is different, you've never been completely sterile, but you told Daryl you couldn't stay in a state and yet now....

"How far along am I? Can't we do something?"

"Do you want to have an abortion?" Denise looks at you in surprise and you place your hands on your belly.

You don't really want an abortion, you've always wanted children, you love children, you've always seen yourself taking care of at least a couple of them, but now you don't know what to think. Is it really right to bring new life into that world? Many couples with stability within those walls have formed their own families, but there are still threats, there are still dangers, is it fair to subject children to that constant fear?

"Listen to me." Denise speaks, pulling you out of your thoughts. "It's a delicate pregnancy, you need to have as much rest as possible." She explains. "Talk to Daryl, I'm sure he'll be thrilled with the idea and will help you with whatever you need." She encourages you and hugs you. "We'll need vitamins and a few other things, I'll make a list."

"Denise...let me talk to Daryl first, please."

"Yeah, sure, no problem."

And there wasn't, you had a plan, talk to him, tell him what was going on and wait for his reaction. Good or bad you're sure you're going to go through with that pregnancy, maybe your own body will reject it and you'll abort at any point in gestation, or maybe it will all work out and you'll give birth to a beautiful blue-eyed boy, or a girl. You've never cared much about sex, really.

You're at home, studying your monologue in your head, thinking about everything you're going to say to Daryl when you hear the door and he appears through the living room, your heart stops and your palms sweat.

"Hey, hi." He greets you by giving you a soft kiss.

"Hi..." Then you notice the backpack on his shoulder. "Where are you going?"

"I'm gonna out for a little round." He explains. "Everything's quiet, but Denise needs a few things for the clinic." He shrugs. "Wanna come?"

"It's a risky pregnancy, you need rest." You hear your doctor's words in your mind.

"Yeah, sure, I could use to clear my head."

"Why? somethin' happened?" He looks at you worriedly and you quickly shake your head.

"No! Just...you know...girl stuff." You grimace and Daryl quickly averts his gaze, there are some topics he still has a hard time talking to you about.

So the two of you hop on Daryl's bike, once you've packed your backpack and weapons, and head out of Alexandria with the list of errands Denise has given the archer.

*********

"Pregnant!" Daryl shouts, fidgeting nervously in the infirmary.

"Daryl..." You try to reassure him but he quickly lets go of you.

"Ya out of yer mind!? ya could have died!" He barks again.

That's right, the smooth mission turned into a huge problem due to a herd of Walkers cutting you off. Getting to the nearest town without being looted was easy. Entering the pharmacy and taking medication and toiletries, too, but there was a hospital, there was a market, everything seemed intact so you decided to take a chance and go for more supplies.

Yes, the place was intact, but it was also full of Walkers who made it very difficult for you to escape.

When you got to the bike and escaped you were aware of the risk you had taken, that you could have lost your baby and you cried against Daryl's back without him noticing.

But now everything is chaos.

"I told you, you should rest, it's a complicated pregnancy and..." Denise scolds you, but now you don't need it, Daryl's furious eyes fall on you and then on your friend.

"Complicated pregnancy? What do ya mean?" he roars rebuking the doctor.

"Well it's... from her tests I've detected that her blood is thicker than usual, a genetic problem, that can lead to clots, if she isn't careful or get too stressed..."

"Denise, stop it, I think I'm the one who should..."

"No." Daryl cuts you off. "Go on, if she gets too stressed..."

"S- she could have an abort..." She whispers lowering her gaze.

Daryl breathes in agitation, his nose catching as much air as possible, his chest heaving up and down with speed, his heart pounding, anger bubbling under his skin. His brow is so tightly knit you could play that his eyebrows have knitted together. He turns toward you and you take a step backward out of inertia. He walks to your position, fast, lethal. Angry.

"Ya know?" He asks in a hoarse voice, gritting his teeth so hard you hear them grind.

"Daryl I..."

"Did you know?!" He yells and slams down on the gurney next to you making you jump.

"Yes! I knew it was a risk to get out, but I didn't..." You're scared, you've never seen Daryl like this, not with you.

"And why ya came!" He howls again. "Why didn't ya tell me!!! Why ain't ya...?" He mumbles angrily biting his lip. "Ya wanna abort? Is that it?" he gasps almost voicelessly and your chest burns.

You look at him and discover pain, all that anger, that initial rage is gone and his eyes are shining with disappointment and pain.

"Daryl, listen to me..."

"Don't touch me." He growls and slaps your hand so hard it hurts. "If ya wanted me to touch ya so little, ya could have told me and I would have left yalone."

"For God's sake, no, I love you!" you tell him full of nerves.

"Then why didn't ya tell me? How long have ya known?"

"Since..." You lower your head. "Officially since two weeks ago..."

"Two? Two fucking weeks and I find out now?" the disbelief in his voice cuts through you like a knife.

"I didn't know how... I was afraid..."

"Of what? me?"

To tell you the truth yes, you are afraid now. You've never seen him like this before, the anger and hurt his words spit out every time they come out of his mouth, they scare you. You're afraid you might lose him for keeping quiet.

"You've always been so careful and I thought that..."

"A condom ain't just prevent a baby, y'know? I was afraid I might give ya something I didn't even know I had." He huffs angrily and runs his hands through his hair nervously.

"Daryl, I'm sorry..."

"No, no, yer a selfish bitch." He growls again walking away from you, your heart breaking into pieces with every step he takes away. "Not only could we have lost our baby, I could have fucking lost ya too." Daryl suddenly feels like throwing up.

"Daryl..." You insist but you see that his gaze is still charged with fury.

"I'm gonna take care of ya, of our baby, but listen to me..." He walks over to you pointing at you. "If ya move, if ya get up, if ya open yer mouth for anything but food... I'll tie ya to the fucking bed."

"I'm not invalid..."

"I am NOT gonna lose ya, ya hear me?" He repeats and a tear runs down his cheek. "Neither of ya, I'm ain't gonna let anything bad happen to ya two."

*******

The End.

***

I'm sorry I think I used too much dialogue and not enough narration, but it seemed more correct.

I hope you liked it!!

See you in the next stories!!

latest shenanigans from my parents include

father:

ignored specific instructions that i would pick something up from their house to rock up to mine with it, then freak out bc i was weightlifting in my garage in a sports bra and therefore showing like 1.5" of midriff, and leave it on my driveway and run away. not super surprising from a man who stopped hugging me when my weird hormone sitch meant i started puberty at 6ish but what

mother:

ignored specific instructions that i would pick something else up from their house to rock up to mine with it, then get very surprised/cowed by my wife answering the door bc she's still pretending i'm not married

a variety of 60-year-old-fundie-woman-on-fb shenanigans, including:

sending me and her other adhd child clickbait about how cashews are better than prozac and b vitamins reverse adhd

sharing yet more posts from conversion therapy organisations for "suffering parents of wayward children" saying that this easter we need to remember that it is sooooo hard to love betrayers like judas but jesus did it anyway

making a huge post about how this one plant in her garden looked promising but bore no fruit and the fig tree in the bible and maybe her life is like that, secretly rotten under the surface. really makes you think

anyway my therapist was like "you always talk about 'my mother' or 'my parents' but not really about your father on his own and i'd like you to think about that" and. i Guess remembering that he's a fucking fundie dickhead about girls and women existing has opened a few old cans of worms to bring to her next week

#so much of this stuff is just. decades of doing this #mom borrowed a bunch of books from the library about how adhd and autism are myths after my sibs got their diagnoses #and they still had it easier than i did by a long shot in a lot of ways #dad gave me a book for my tenth birthday that was basically just 'you're damned to hell if you're not a virgin'#which. csa w but i was not by that age! so!#tony muses

Vitamin A plays a crucial role in preventative medicine by supporting various aspects of health and wellness. Some of the key functions of vitamin A in the body include:

1. Vision: Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision, particularly in low-light conditions. It is a key component of rhodopsin, a protein in the retina that helps the eyes adjust to changes in light intensity.

2. Immune function: Vitamin A is important for supporting the immune system and helping the body fight off infections. It plays a role in the development and function of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells.

3. Skin health: Vitamin A is beneficial for skin health, as it helps maintain the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes. It supports the growth and repair of skin cells and may help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

4. Growth and development: Vitamin A is essential for normal growth and development, especially in children. It plays a role in cell growth, differentiation, and gene expression, which are important processes for overall growth and development.

5. Reproductive health: Vitamin A is important for reproductive health in both men and women. It is involved in the production of sperm and the development of the placenta during pregnancy.

Some examples of vitamin A-rich foods include:

1. Liver: Liver (such as beef liver or chicken liver) is one of the richest sources of vitamin A, providing high levels of preformed vitamin A in the form of retinol.

2. Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a good source of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A that the body can convert into retinol.

3. Carrots: Carrots are another excellent source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.

4. Spinach: Spinach and other dark leafy greens are rich in beta-carotene and provide a good source of vitamin A.

5. Eggs: Eggs contain vitamin A in the form of retinol, as well as other important nutrients.

Including vitamin A-rich foods in your diet can help ensure that you meet your daily requirements for this essential nutrient and support overall health and wellness. It's important to consume a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods to meet your nutritional needs.

I really hate how COVID made actual anti-vaxxers feel emboldened enough to be all like, “See?! Big Pharma IS out to poison our children! This is why I don’t want my baby to get the vitamin K shot at birth! This is why my children won’t be getting flu vaccines or Hep B shots! *Posts links to random unverified blogs ‘proving’ that the whooping cough vaccine kills more babies than actual whooping cough does or whatever.* Do your research!”

And because some people don’t have any critical thinking, these insane idiots are excused more now, because, “Well can we really blame them after what happened with the COVID vaccines?!?!” Like…yes? We sure can! They would’ve found any other excuse to push their shit anyway had COVID not happened, so the controversy surrounding COVID vaccines isn’t what caused their way of thinking!

children of thanatos headcanons

a/n: the hcs will be updated and edited as i come up with more

even before they get claimed, thanatos kids have this aura around them and sick looking faces—like they're at the brink of death.

most get claimed at night. a black smoke appears above their heads in the shape of a butterfly fluttering its wings.

lots of campers are at best afraid of them and at worst completely distrusting.

thanatos kids don't have their own cabin. instead, they share with the hypnos kids—since their godly parents are twins. some thanatos kids like going from cabin to cabin, mainly the hades, hypnos and hecate cabins. they're most welcome there.

just like hypnos kids they have wings!! not all of them, but the majority, in contrast the hypnos kids where a few have them.

they like bitter things. like a lot. especially dark chocolate.

in hoo, thanatos is described as having black sky, like the night sky. so most of his kids are black, or mixed. their hair types range from 3a/b to 4c. their eyes are either a very dark brown or pitch black where you can't even see the light being reflected.

being grandchildren of nyx, they also have some of her blessings, like enchanted eyesight in the dark.

others have shadow manipulation. nothing too big, but they feel more connected with her and her childern.

they have a strong bond with hypnos and nyx kids. they're inseparable. they all get along so well. it's impossible to go around camp and not find thanatos/nyx, thanatos/hypnos kids having fun in a corner somewhere.

thanatos kids like to mess with hebe kids and vice versa. whenever they touch the flowers of the hebe cabin to make them wilt, hebe kids one up them by making a flower path wherever they go. it's all petty things they do.

other than that they get along, mostly.

if you ever go into the hypnos cabin and hear emo/metal/jazz/rap blasting, it's thanatos kids.

hypnos kids are this 🤏 close to revoking their mp3 privileges

got labelled as the goth/emo kid at school.

their tired of the 'grumpy/black cat/emo/goth/metal kid' stereotype others force upon them. lots of them are balls of sunshine, the sweetest sweethearts you'll ever meet.

they love winter and winter holidays, no matter which religious/non-religious holiday they choose to celebrate.

they know how to make syrup out of everything. demeter kids are equally amazed and try to one up them.

thb i see lots of thanatos kids leaning into the whole vampire/un-dead aesthetic. it just suits them so much!!

very into astronomy and astrology (they're different and thanatos kids will go on a one hour rant on how different they are and how frustrating it is that others dont know this common knowledge!! like, seriously ppl,,,,)

they're very good with sculpting

they're severely lacking vitamin d (and it doesn't help that they're literal hermits, never leaving their cabins)

(it also adds to their vampire aesthetic)

(but anyway)

no one really pays attention to them at camp. they're just there 🧍 they are forgotten easily but they dont care that much

they also don't go on many quests. they prefer it that way anyway.

they like harvesting strawberries (and also stealing some of them in thw process but everyone at starwberry field duty does this so who's surprised)

Legends and myths about trees

Children of the tree - Treasures of the forest

Mushrooms are known in Japanese as ‘Kinoko’ literally translated as 'children of the tree'. It just so happens to grow in forests, at the base of trees or on old fallen trees. When you come across a fresh tree cub, you will feel as if you have discovered a treasure. Quite a few people are rather particular about tree cubs in the forest.

Many animals other than people eat mushrooms. Squirrels and other animals are known to dry mushrooms on the tips of tree branches and use them as winter food. Numerous insects also eat mushrooms. Slugs and snails also often use mushrooms as food.

Mushrooms are either edible, toxic, or psychoactive. Those edible ones are rather nutritious, being rich in B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals.

Mushroom yokai monsters are traditional to the west Japan. These yokai monsters are said to be found in mountains and forests, and look like children of about three or four years of age, wearing clothes made of leaves or blue-coloured clothing. When humans see them, they look like shadows and it is not clear whether they are there or not. They are the mountain forest version of kappa (Ref).

They usually play in groups. They are often seen by loggers and people working in the mountains, and are said to be not so unusual for them. However, if they are not careful, they can play tricks on them, such as stealing their lunch boxes, and in such cases they are said to chase them away with a stick.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

マッシュルームのことを日本語では「木の子」とよんでいる。

まさに、森の中で木の根元に、あるいは老朽した倒木に生えている子供たちだ。新鮮な木の子に遭遇したときには、まるで宝物を発見したような気分になるだろう。森の木の子に夢中の人は割といる。

キノコを食べる動物はヒト以外にも多い。リスなどがキノコを木の枝先にかけて乾かし、冬期の食料として利用する例も知られている。昆虫にもキノコを食べるものは数多い。ナメクジやカタツムリも、しばしばキノコを餌として利用している。

キノコには、食用、毒性、または精神作用がある。食用のものは、ビタミンB群、ビタミンDやミネラルも豊富に含まれ、むしろ栄養価が高い。

日本には近畿地方に伝わる木の子の妖怪もいる。山間部や森の中にいるとされる妖怪で、外観は3,4歳ほどの子供のような姿で、木の葉で作った衣服、または青い色の衣服を着てる。人間がその姿を見るとまるで影のようで、いるかいないかはっきりしないという。河童（参照）の山林バージョンだ。

普段は群をなして遊んでいる。樵や山で仕事をしている人々にはその姿をたびたび見かけられており、彼らにとってはそれほど珍しくない存在だという。でも、油断をしていると、弁当を盗まれるなどの悪戯をされてしまい、そんなときには棒を持って追い払うという。

Checkup

I'm going to have some bloodwork done this week, so I stopped taking any vitamin or mineral supplements around Christmas time . . so they can get a good 'baseline' value. But I am very, very much looking forward to taking them again. No matter WHAT I eat this time of year (I am so good about fruits and veg!) I need a bit extra in the way of vitamins. D, B, whatever. Finding out that adhd folks may be prone to needing higher levels of B vitamins (we use more of it? We don't process it from food as well? Don't know.) was one of the really, really helpful "Tumblr-anecdotes I read and looked up more info on later." Seriously. If you don't take posts at face value, but do further research and check with your own doctor about stuff, you can learn SO MUCH from Tumblr.

On that note. Want to hear a c-r-a-z-y story about perimenopause? This might save some 40ish cis woman some trouble, and may simply be of interest to trans folks.

One day in October of the year I was 41, I woke up a different person. I mean I literally went to bed as myself and woke up feeling completely different. Over the next two weeks I barely slept more than a few hours a night and barely ate; had no appetite whatsoever. I kept up with mom duties and farm duties, but spent all my alone-time with my head in a fog.

Over the next few months I considered asking for medical help, but I didn't quite know what to TELL my Dr (a grumpy but reasonable old guy). I couldn't quite describe my experience on words, except to say I felt like a different person. Gradually I began to fell much, much more energetic. My strength increased bizarrely, even with no more than my usual farm exercise. LOVED that! The acne, moustache and chin whiskers were unwelcome. The mental fog was distressing, but my kids were only in third grade and kindergarten respectively, and my father was still completely independent - so I didn't NEED to be all that mentally sharp to keep up with what I needed to. You may be wanting to smack me upside the head by now, but it wasn't until I started growing black, wiry chest hair that I FINALLY figured it out.

My system had stopped estrogening and started androgening. Completely at random. I am, I must stress, a cis-woman, always felt female, and had 5 pregnancies with two live children. The very sudden onset of it is what made me feel so mentally disoriented at the beginning.

By the time I figured it out, months after it began, I could already feel the effects starting to wane. There were no real health effects that I needed to see a Dr about, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go to the trouble of trying to get him to understand what happened. I've never met another woman who talked about having this experience - but we often don't talk about perimenopause. I had read BOOKS about menopause issues, and this wasn't in them! Since hormone disruption is foundational to perimenopause, I'd bet money that SOMEONE else has had this happen. If you're nearing that age, it might happen to you - and it isn't the end of the world.

Pairing: RengokuxGN!Reader

Note: Hopefully this is the first KNY work of many. Requests are currently open, so if you find a work of mine for some other random that you enjoy don’t hesitate to request it for The groups stated in the blog description.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

He shows his affection by acts of service. His definition of ‘I love you’ is ‘I will do things for you’. Rather than wanting you to do stuff for him he loves it if he can be of help and if you rely on him. Of course there are days when he’s worn out and needs being taken care of but mostly he’s full of energy.

B = Before (What were they like when they had a crush?)

Painfully obvious. He would ask everyone about you. Talk about you relentlessly. Try everything to be around you more.

At some points your mutual friends would go to you and beg you to go on a date with him just to make it stop.

C = Confession (What was their confession like?)

After that whole story I don’t think it needed a confession. As Rengoku was aware. He probably would have loved to properly confess but … yeah he kinda blew it.

D = Date (What was the first official date they went on?)

For the both of you the first date wasn’t an actual date. It was just one of the times he rescheduled everything to be with you on some actual lame thing like … studying or whatnot but because this man was so obvious there had already been sparks all over the place.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

I suppose you would already know before it even happens. His demeanor and way he behaves when you’re around would already have changed. I can see him trying to pull through and hoping for things to get better but once he notices that won’t happen he break up very fairly. If you already live together he’d move out. Just because his romantic feelings for you have changed doesn’t mean he doesn’t still care about you. And since it is him breakingup he’d want you to be as comfortable as possible with the change of situation. (Maybe he’d even ask mutual friends to check in on you from time to time.)

F = Fights (What would fights look like? What are things that upset them?)

It’s difficult to fight with him because a) he can be _intense_ and b) storms out and doesn’t come back.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

His Love language is (apart from acts of service) physical touch. Therefore I can’t see him talk much rather than listening to you and hugging you on the sofa or holding your hand across the table.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Rengoku yearns for physical touch. He hugs you often, at all different kinds of occasions and in so many different ways. He pulls you closer by your waist when introducing you to someone or puts his arms around you on an escalator.

I = Intimacy (What is their favorite form of intimacy? Do they have problems with it?)

Getting ready together. It is important to him that you take good care of yourself. He enjoys seeing you do skin care and taking vitamins because it’s a sign to him that everything is in order.

Rengoku also enjoys taking you out to eat for the same reason.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Uhm… hm … difficult. I’d say he would only get jealous if there is a reason. For example that you talk about them too much or spend too much time with them (to the point you don’t have time for him anymore) or if there’s a shared past/trauma. Other than that I suppose he’s chill bc he knows and trusts you.

K = Kisses (Are they a good kisser? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

His favorite place to be kissed is the back of his neck. When you hug him from behind and place a small peck in his neck. He loves it.

His favorite place to kiss you is inner thighs *coughs* you didn’t get that from me.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Of course. I suppose if you read this you’ve seen him with his brother. And please, those genetics really gotta be passed on.

M = Messages (How often do they text his S/O?)

Since Rengoku is usually at work he doesn’t text much. One thing you like about him is being serious about everything he does but that also includes following the no-phone rule at his workplace almost up to 100%.

I can also see him not texting you ‘good morning’ but leaving a note on the table when he leaves home. ANd definitely kissing you goodbye if you’re also awake that early.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Most of the time Rengoku comes home late. Once you confronted him about it (bc you’d like to see your boyfriend once in a while and actually have dinner with him) but when he explained it to you all your anger just poofed away. It turns out that he had been staying late in the office to help some new coworkers with their chores. It turns out that their boss is pretty pernickety so it established soon that experienced employees help the new ones.

After you made sure that said coworkers are either male or married you let it go. But you also made sure you got your message across and Rengoku promised he would try to come home earlier.

O = Opinion (Would they ask for their S/O’s opinion a lot? How important is it in terms of decisions?)

He gives a lot about your opinion since your taste in certain things is one of many traits that made him attracted to you.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Since Rengoku is not just a saint himself but also an experienced team leader at work he has an insane amount of patience. If he should get angry or annoyed he’d stuff it down and get real quiet. Maybe he avoids you for a few hours and then goes back to normal.

Confronting him or fighting with him is probably really difficult.

Q = Quizzes (How does a bar trivia night teamed up with them look like?)

This. Man. Is. So. Motivated. But doesn’t know shit. Rengoku would enter the competition extremely eager and ready to declare war but eventually wouldn’t know how to answer anything because he genuinely doesn’t follow pop-culture.

His face would stay the same tho. The same confident and dumb-ass crazy smile he’d put on every day.

R = Remember (How much do they remember about their S/O or their relationship in general?)

He remembers a lot. Not everything but most stuff. Especially the things you’d like him to forget immediately after they happened. Stuff that made you embarrassed? He’d remember you constantly and tease you.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Rengoku is protective. No doubt. But since he knows you can stand up for yourself he sometimes also enjoys just being you cheerleader and watching you rule.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Depending on how much effort his partner puts into it. Sometimes Rengoku would love to go full out but he learned how to dial back and how less is more. What he really enjoys are weekend trips. Getting away and just enjoying the quiet with you.

U = Unique (What makes them unique as a S/O?)

Rengoku is a man that oozes respect. For nearly everything and everyone but most of all for you. He is someone who knows his own flaws and works on them relentlessly. He is also the most loyal boyfriend one could find, willing to work on a relationship that’s worth so much to him.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Semi. I mean, sure he is clean and everything but since he has his one look and never changes everything about it he surely doesn’t pay too much attention to these things. If you’d mention a certain look you’d like to see on him you would also have to go shopping with him because there isn’t much reliance on his fashion sense.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without their S/O?

Definitely.

X = X-Ray (How transparent are they?)

Rengoku probably doesn’t tell you everything but will disclose if you ask. A lot of things have happened in his life before they met you and he doesn’t want it to weigh on you.

Y = Yuck (Everyone has flaws. What is theirs?)

Dude can’t whisper.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Insists on going to bed together. Since most times you don’t see each other much during the day because of your different work schedules - he enjoys brushing teeth together and the little bathroom talks you have from time to time. Watching you get upset about something that happened that day, threatening things with a toothbrush sometimes is the highlight of his day.

Y’know the “classic children’s literature” canon is largely pretty fucked up.

C.S. Lewis was racist and homophobic and sexist, not to mention Extremely Christian and trying to convert you (seriously, there are exactly 2 books where the bad guys aren’t women or Muslims by another name, and one of those 2 doesn’t even have an antagonist once Eustace gets un-dragoned)

Roald Dahl was notoriously antisemitic and just kind of misogynistic in general. Keeps trying to sell the idea that ugly people are inherently evil and pretty people are inherently good. Also like the Oompa Loompas are a) canonically black in the books and b) slave labor, and this is promoted as positive? Charlie’s dad would’ve had a job if Wonka hadn’t been literally stealing people to avoid paying workers. Also, like, the nerve of leaving a chocolate factory to a random kid who knows nothing about chocolate except it tastes good, when probably at least a dozen of the Oompa Loompas are qualified to run the place. Like, Dahl is great at giving people nightmares, but the inherent assumptions begin the worlds he builds are not something I want to give to a 10-year-old and tell them it’s Great Literature and something to emulate, the way I was. (Also, I was actually 8, come to think of it.)

JKR. Well. Besides the TERFery and racism/antisemitism. There’s just a complete disregard for bodily autonomy that’s so present in her work that it becomes obvious it’s part of how she views the world? Like, it’s supposed to be a funny joke to slip someone a potion that turns them into a canary. Admittedly the delivery of that line was 109% but like. What if he’d got stuck like that? You can’t just transmogrify people like that without asking them. You also shouldn’t do the “muggle” equivalent like putting Nair in someone’s shampoo. That’s assault, Joanie. I think this also feeds into her transphobia, because she just doesn’t seem to have anything that would hold her back from swapping someone’s gender for giggles if she were able to. It’s not just the HP series, either, it’s her works aimed at adults as well. Like, she’d be the type to barge into the bathroom while you’re peeing and then get offended when you’re upset by this because “We’re all girls here.” But oh it’s a modern classic and you have to read it to understand nerd culture…well, you could make that argument 10 years ago but it’s a bit less solid in 2023. I wouldn’t ban a kid from reading it, but I wouldn’t give them a box set. If they brought it home from the library I’d give a quick talk that I’m not mad at them for reading it but they should be aware that the author is a jerk.

Stephanie Meyer: Completely inescapable if you were a tween girl anywhere between 2005 and 2010. You had to plough through 4 doorstoppers of toxic Mormon heterosexuality just to understand what anyone was talking about. Like, I think it should be shelved with a pamphlet about healthy vs unhealthy relationships in it. Also, like, Meyer profited off the names of Native people and didn’t give them a cent. Also Bella you need a vampire like a fish needs a bicycle, just take some vitamin D supplements and you’ll get over him

Again, I’m not saying “don’t read these books.” Many of them are well-written and have historic and sociological and literary value. This post is about how we tell children that these demonstrably bigoted authors, whose bigotry shines through in their writing because they’re too unaware of it to file it down, that these are Great Writers and suitable to emulate. It’s not just that bigotry could be absored by young readers, it’s also that ir build a false foundation that will crumble under literary analysis, creating a life of doubting one’s own word choices, among other problems!

The first thing Big Mama is insistent on is the children getting a proper bath (much to Mikey's chagrine, he's not one to like baths much since he's a terrestrial turt) and having a doctor look them over to ensure they're healthy. Through this they discover that quite a few minor problems that simply being mutant turtles living in unsanitary conditions without health care can cause like parasites, the beginnings of shell rot on Leo, vitamin A deficiencies, etc. Nothing too manor, the boys do take good care of themselves, but... well, they're teenage boys who live in a sewer. They aren't gonna be completely clean or snaitary no matter how careful they are.

I love that Mikey is the one pouting about the bath lol. Like the rest are all "hey bath? we're pretty clean but we won't say no to water." (Particularly Leo and Donnie since theyre both the most aquatic out of the four. Leo tries to pretend he doesn't want one but water.) But Mikey wants nothing to do with it lol. Like the older three are just vibing in their own pool size tubs while Mikey is just running down the hall screaming about the evils of baths. (Big mama didn't think she'd ever find something Mikey wasn't chill about but here they were.) Eventually she talks him into at least a proper shower (but with good soaps and not whatever cheap ones they've been stealing from the dollar store.)

And yeah, the docs would probably find a few minor things to clear up simply b/c sewers and only having a kid medic for several years will do that. nothing very serious at all.

(OOh, random thought, but like, maybe Mama sets up a basking room for them since the only access they'd have to anything like that was probably just some lamps. So he renovates an entire room to be mostly windows and let all the sunlight and uv rays the boys would need (and with the windows being mystic, humans wouldn't be able to look in them.) Once it's done, the boys end up just lounging in turtle piles, essentially drunk on sunshine since, yeah, they have lamps in the lair, but damn the sun rays hit different. (if they're anything like my turtle, they'd just lay there all day if they could lol) it would definitely help with whatever vitamin deficiencies they may have.)

Thank you!

Harvey SFW Alphabet

SFW Alphabet requests are CLOSED

Bold = complete

Italicized = available

crossed out = in progress

Remaining: Y, Z, X, W, V, T, S, Q, O, N, G, F, B

Snail’s Directory

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Harvey loves to cuddle, but not while sleeping. His favorite way is to hold his partner while they watch a movie or a show—sharing a blanket and some snacks and just being close and spending time together.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Harvey wants to settle down so badly. Literally chomping at the bit for domesticity. He wants to be a husband, he wants to be a father, he wants to take care of a partner through sickness and in health. Look at him, he’s simply spouse shaped

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Harvey would be very gentle but honestly it’s only the fact that, as a doctor, he has good bedside manner. Even so—he’s almost certainly going to cry even if he’s the one doing the dumping. (All I can imagine is a very somber tone and prepared speech but tears are streaming down his face)

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)Harvey loves loves loves hugs. He will wrap his arms over his partner’s and just lean, pulling them close. Will crush you if you let him.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?

Harvey has every intention of holding off and really waiting until he’s sure, but c’mon, he’s sure. It just slips out while you’re helping around the clinic or hanging out on the couch watching a detective show (Harvey loves Monk and Columbo). It’s just quiet and simply true and he blushes at the admission and buries his face in the crook of his partner’s neck.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Harvey does get a little jealous from time to time. It’s nothing extreme, he’s not going to start a fight or anything but he might mention it. Mostly he’ll just seek extra reassurance and move on–he trusts his partner.

Jealous Bachelors

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Harvey always takes off his glasses or pushes them up when he kisses his partner. It’s so fast and fluid it’s like a magic trick. He likes to be kissed on his neck. On his partner he loves to kiss their forehead—he’s a tall guy so there’s usually a height difference. Loves to do the hug and forehead kiss combo.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Harvey became a doctor because he’s a nurturing person. He loves kids, although he’s awkward with them. Prime dorky dad material, jokes and all. He’s terrified of having kids but excited about the prospect nonetheless. He’d be a good dad.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Harvey’s up early right along with his farmer partner—he’s got a clinic to run. He and his partner have a seamless routine of getting ready together in the morning, mostly without even speaking.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

This man has endless patience until you keep getting wrecked in the mines. Genuinely aside from his nerves I think that’s the only time he’d really let you have it. He isn’t angry per se, just very worried and upset that you don’t seem to care enough about your well being.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Harvey has two favorite moments. The first is more obvious—the hot air balloon. The second moment is smaller and softer—they had identified his new model plane before he had even begun to explain. When he pressed they admitted they’d been reading up on the hobby so they could talk about it with Harvey. He cried. He’s a big crier.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Harvey sleeps like an old man. You’re lucky if he makes it past 8:30. King of “just resting his eyes” on the couch.
