If even at my best recently the best idea is to just hurt myself so bad I have to get help regardless of consequences. If I die, I die, if not then maybe I'll have at least got back on meds like I was supposed to months ago. If I can at least get that, and not be how I am now for most of every day that would be something. If I need help and asking for it isn't enough and having tried several times recently with people knowing about it isn't enough then I just have to do worse and worse until it's importable to ignore. And I hate this, I get how this sounds, but what other choice is there? I have nothing to help manage this currently. All I had was later tonight, and once that goes there's nothing to think about making it to, not that it was worth going this long.

Seven summers, part 6.
Pairing: Draco Malfoy x female!reader
Summary: Every summer, Draco and y/n meet. First, by pure coincidence, then intentionally. Unbeknown to Draco, y/n's a muggle who has no clue he's a wizard. With the rise of the dark lord, how long can this go well?
Disclaimers: Make-out session, allusion to sex, no full-on smut (they're still minors, y'all!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sixth summer, July.
The weather in England has been cold and rainy lately. It doesn't seem to be July at all. Y/n longs for those warm, long summer nights outside in her parents' garden, playing cards and drinking bubbly lemonade. Instead, she's clinging to her umbrella and making herself as small as possible so that she doesn't give the wind too much space to attack her with its whipping water. She's waiting for Draco near the entrance of Diagon Alley. She watched several wizards enter and leave the place, but no Draco so far. Y/n wonders if he will actually show up. They've been exchanging letters via owl, as usual. At the beginning of the school year, Draco's letters have been arriving quite frequently but there were less and less letters the last few months. Y/n knows there's been some arguments with his rival Harry and a new teacher. Draco was appointed a certain position in a Club or something. He didn't really tell her what's it about but ever since he's been more reserved than before.
Y/n waits for almost an hour before she gives up. She walks through the pouring rain back to the bus stop. She stops by a Costa and treats herself to a hot cup of tea on the go in an attempt to warm herself up. On the bus, she plugs in her headphones and stares out of the window. She tries really hard not to cry and hopes that none of the other passengers notice th water dwelling in her eyes. When she gets off the bus, her head's pounding from the oppressing of tears. Y/n walks straight home and up to her room, without taking off her jacket and boots. She can hear her mother complaining about the water on the floor, but she doesn't care. She's just dropped onto her bed when she hears the soft clank of Draco's owl on her window. Y/n gets up and sniffs. This guy has some nerve, she tells herself as she walks up to the window. She takes the letter from the owl and throws some dried meat in its direction, a habit she picked up a while ago. She leans back on a chair and reads.
Dear y/n,
I won't be able to make it today. I'm really sorry but there have been some issues in my family recently and my mother needs my support. I hope the whole situation dissolves itself soon.
I'll send you a letter when it's possible to meet again. I hope you can understand.
Draco.
Y/n folds up the letter and puts it in a box beneath her bed where she keeps all of Draco's letters. She writes a quick response and hands it to the owl who is patiently waiting outside. She watches the owl fly away. I must've just missed his message, y/n thinks. Yet still she can't shake the feeling that something is off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco lets y/n wait for two weeks. Y/n got antsy with every passing day without hearing from him. Eventually, he sends her a letter and proposes a meeting in Windsor Great Park for a stroll and coffee. Y/n is nervous all morning and has to redo her makeup twice after ruining her eyeliner. Again, y/n is the first to arrive. She walks up and down the entrance of the Savill Garden.
"Hey", she suddenly hears behind her. Draco is standing right next to her with a loopy grin on his face. It doesn't reach his eyes, y/n thinks. She smiles at him nonetheless and opens her arms to hug him. Almost hesitantly, Draco hugs her back. It's a bit awkward. "Do you want to go inside?", y/n says and points to the garden. Draco nods. They take the tourist route but there aren't many other people around. It's probably because of the grey clouds that hang low above their heads. They walk along the path between rows of bushes and other plants.
Draco doesn't make an attempt to start a conversation, so y/n does. "So, how's your family? Everything alright? Your letter sounded quite serious.", y/n asks him. Draco shrugs and doesn't answer immediately. "I guess, we're alright. Things haven't been resolved but it will be ok.", he tells her. Y/n nods reassuringly but she feels that Draco does not really believe that last part. "If you don't mind me asking... what happened?", she asks carefully. Draco kicks a stone out of his way. "My dad has been involved in some stuff. He's temporarily contained.", he tells her. Y/n stares at him with big eyes. "Like jail?", she blurts. Draco gives her an angry look. "Yes. My mother did not take it too well.", he replies. "Oh.", is all that y/n manages to say. They walk in silence for a moment. "What about you? How do you take it?", she asks him. Draco shrugs again and does his best to look somewhere far ahead. "Draco...", y/n mumbles and touches his arm. "I'm fine.", he says harshly, "My mother needs all the support she can get. I can't be weak in a situation like this". Y/n steps a bit closer to him and rests her cheek on his arm while taking his hand. "It's not a weakness to feel bad about a situation like that. It only shows how much you care about your parents.", she tells him. Almost instantly, she can feel Draco's shoulders slump down. He turns to her and finally pulls her close. He hides his face in her hair. "I must do everything I can to clear my family's name. One way or another.", he points out. Y/n thinks about this for a moment. "It's not your responsibility. Support your family as much as you can, but don't let the weight of it pull you down.", she replies. Draco shakes his head. "You don't understand... my mother...", he starts. "...is an adult. We're only sixteen, Draco. There's only so much we can do. Somethings we must let the adults handle.", she points out. Draco shakes his head again. "No, my mother can't handle this. I'm the one who has to fix things. I've been chosen.", he tells her. Y/n frowns. "Chosen? By whom? For what?", she asks him. Draco lets go of her. "It doesn't matter. The point is I'm going to handle this. Don't worry.", he says coldly. Draco walks a bit ahead and y/n stares after him. She's got a really bad feeling about this but it's clear that Draco isn't ready to talk about this.
She jogs after him. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't seen each other since Christmas and I really am happy we're spending time together today.", she announces and gives him a bright smile. She holds out her hand to Draco and looks at him expectantly. Draco sighs and then takes her hand. They continue their stroll and y/n tries to distract Draco with silly stories about school and her friends. She updates him on Olivia's situationship and manages to pry some stories about Blaze and quidditch out of Draco. The atmosphere loosens up a bit and soon she finds Draco genuinely smiling again. They wander deeper into the garden and don't notice how the clouds above them get darker and darker. They're laughing about one of y/n's stories when the first drop landed on y/n's cheek. Draco wipes it away carefully. They look up and notice how armageddon is right above them. Within seconds, it's pouring. Draco pulls her close and uses his wand as an umbrella. However, the wind whips raindrops onto their sides. They rush along the path, deeper into the rows of trees ahead of them. They're almost soaked when they finally find shelter in a stone pavilion.
Y/n is shivering but glad there are still some parts of her that are dry. Draco sits down next to her and puts an arm around her. Y/n nuzzles closer into his side. Draco leans his head against hers. They don't speak and when y/n finally looks up, she immediately meets Draco's gaze. He must've been staring at her for a while now. Immediately, he leans close and they meet in a kiss. For a moment, everything outside the pavilion seems to stop existing. Y/n kisses him back feverishly and grabs his collar. Draco's hand is tangled in her hair and his other hand wanders down her side. Y/n presses her upper body closer to his and Draco pulls her onto his lap. They kiss until they can't breathe anymore. Y/n leans her forehead against his as both of them catch their breath. There are no sounds besides the pouring rain outside.
"Draco?", y/n breathes. "Hm?", he mumbles in response. Y/n's heart leaps in her chest. It takes all her courage to say: "I think I love you". Draco leans back and looks at her with surprise in his eyes. Clearly, he didn't expect a confession of love. Immediately, y/n feels embarrassed. She wishes she could take the words back. "Y-you don't have to say it back. I just thought...", she rumbles but doesn't get to finish her sentence. Draco puts his hand onto the back of her head and pulls her lips against his again. He gives her a deep, longing kiss which leaves y/n breathless once again. When he lets go of her, he looks at her longingly and strokes over her cheek. Then he presses a kiss on top of her head and pulls her into a hug. Y/n feels warm and fuzzy inside and she almost forgets that Draco did not return the confession.
They stay in the pavilion until the heavy rain fades into a soft summer drizzle. Only then, they start wandering back to the entrance of the garden. They part ways rather quickly since the rain started again after some point. However, y/n proposes that he should come visit her soon. Her parents will be visiting her grandparents all the way up in Keswick and will be gone for a couple of days. They put y/n under house arrest for the time being (considering what happened last year), but allowed to have a friend over. They probably thought about Olivia but when y/n asked her, Olivia immediately declined saying that y/n simply must invite Draco. Draco is a bit hesitant to accept the invitation and says that he will have to see how things at home. They both decide to write soon.
On her way back to the train station, y/n has mixed feelings. On one hand she's over the moon about meeting Draco finally again, on the other hand, she's also worried about him. Having a father in jail is already troubling but it sounded as if Draco was ready to do anything to fix that. She wonders if that included more than giving a testimony in front of a court. One way or another, he said. She hopes Draco is smart enough to not do anything stupid, or illegal.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sixth summer, a few weeks later.
Anxious. That's how y/n feels as she waits for Draco at King's Cross. Y/n and Draco have been writing back and forth for the last couple of weeks. Draco's been really quiet about his father's situation and y/n didn't push too much. However, whenever y/n brought up Draco coming over, he kept saying it probably wouldn't be possible and that too many things were going on. Which clearly indicates that things haven't been resolved. Surprisingly, Draco sent her a letter a few days ago saying that meeting her would be possible after all. Apparently, his mother and his aunt visit a family friend, giving him a chance to slip away. When y/n got Draco's letter saying that he would be visiting after all, she immediately called Olivia who immediately rushed over. Giggling, they wrote lists and prepared the house for what y/n's parents assumed was a sleepover. It also leads to her parents being quite relaxed about leaving y/n alone for a few days.
Right now, y/n is waiting for Draco to arrive at King's Cross. Obviously, Draco does not take a muggle train. He arrives via floo powder somewhere close but they agreed to meet at the station from where y/n would take him home. Y/n nervously scans the crowd in front of her. Suddenly, she feels a tap on her shoulder. "Hey, there pretty girl.", she hears Draco say behind her. When she twirls around, he is mere inches from her face. "Draco!", she laughs and throws her arms around him. Draco almost drops his bag while trying to keep his balance. Y/n quickly retreats. "Sorry!", she says. Draco puts down his bag. "That's alright.", he tells her and pulls her close by her arms. He hugs her close and hides his face in her hair. Y/n's heart skips a beat. When he lets go of her, he looks over his shoulder nervously. Distractedly, he says: "So, uh... is your house close by?". Y/n tries to see what's behind him or what he's looking for but when he turns back to her, she gives him a bright smile. "We'll have to take the bus.", she tells him and takes his hand. Draco sighs behind her. "You don't happen to have a fireplace, do you?", he mumbles. Y/n laughs. "No, sorry! We have central heating.", she says as she pulls him along with him.
While Draco feels visibly nervous in the station, he relaxes once y/n and him have entered the bus. When y/n asks him why, he tells her that there are probably no wizards here who could see them. Y/n nods understandingly. It's a short walk from the bus station to y/n's house. Her house is one of these terraced houses with white, wooden windows and a small front garden. It's nothing special really but her parents had to save up for it for quite some time and they're really proud to call themselves 'homeowners'. Y/n thinks it's a bit ridiculous but then again she's never bought a house and doesn't even know how much it would cost. Y/n pulls out her keys and opens the door.
She holds the door for Draco. "Ladies first. You can put your shoes over there.", she tells him as she quickly pushes him inside. Ever since they made a turn into y/n's street, she's been the one looking over her shoulder. Can't have the neighbours see her sneaking a boy in. She's pretty sure that the nosy old lady from across the street would just love to tell her parents all about that. Y/n quickly closes the door behind her and pulls off her jacket. Draco is standing in the hallway looking around and feeling a bit out of place. Y/n points past him. "Go on, straight through that door. There's the kitchen", she tells him. They enter the kitchen together and y/n quickly puts the kettle on. "C'mon.", she tells him and leads him to the room to the right. It's the living room which has a small conservatory attached to it. It's her mother's favorite room since it's always bright and open. In the middle, there's a large couch with pillows and blankets. On the left is the telly and a coffee table. "It's cozy", Draco notes as y/n leads him to the coach. "Sit down. I'll make the tea.", she tells him as she rushes off back to the kitchen.
She prepares a tray with tea, mugs and some biscuits. When she enters the living room again, Draco still sits in the same position as she left him. I guess he feels a bit awkward, she concludes. After she pours him a cup of tea, she asks him: "So, what do you think? Is this how you imagined muggles to live like?". Draco laughs and rubs his head in embarrassment. "Actually, I'm not sure what I expected. But it's really nice. I like this room.", he says and points to the conservatory. Y/n pulls one of her legs under the other and takes her tea cup. "Hm, you really had no image in your head how I live like?", she asks. Draco shakes his head. "How do you imagine I live like then?", he replies. Y/n thinks about that for a moment. "I guess I imagine a big house, maybe a villa. An old one, maybe Victorian? I imagine a big staircase right when you enter. Old, but classic and high-quality furniture.", she explains. Draco looks at her surprised. "That's actually not that far off.", he tells her. "I can't imagine your room though. I feel like I can imagine your dorm room better than your room at home.", she says. Draco takes a sip from his tea. "Do you want me to describe it?", he asks her. Y/n nods excitedly. He crooks his head. "Let's see. My room is upstairs, in the East Wing. It has a window facing the East as well so that I can see the sunrise every morning. My walls are painted in a greyish-blue. My furniture is black. When you enter the room, you're standing in front of my bed. Opposite the bed is the window and in front of it is my desk. To the left of the desk, is my wardrobe which is always messy and to the right are some shelves with books.", he describes. Y/n tries to imagine the room. In her head, the room is kind of empty besides the furniture Draco described. "Is there anything else in the room?", she asks. Draco names some quidditch equipment and some other tokens that y/n has trouble imagining. Draco tried to explain quidditch to her one time but y/n fails to truly understand the game. Probably, because she's never seen a person riding a broom.
"Would you like to see my room?", y/n proposes and Draco nods. They walk back to the hallway and up the stairs that are on the left. "My room is all the way up, beneath the roof.", she tells him as they climb up the stairs. Y/n's room is the only room on the last floor. When she opens the room, there's her bed to the left and behind the door is her closet. Right in front of the door are three windows. In front of the middle one, is her desk. On the left is a little reading niche and on the right is a dressing table and a cupboard. A chain of lights is strung from one side of the room towards another. Y/n makes some space for Draco to enter. He looks around the room in silence. "So, what do you think?", she asks. "It suits you. I don't know how I'd imagine your room but this fits you perfectly.", he tells her. Y/n giggles and drops onto her bed. "You think so?", she says. Draco nods and turns around in her room before joining her on the bed. Y/n thinks the sight of him in her room is a bit strange. Like he doesn't quite fit into it. He's dressed in black (like always) and her room is dominated by beige and pastel tones. "Yeah, it's bright and warm. And girly. And cozy.", he replies. Y/n snuggles up to him. "You like it?", she asks him. Draco pulls her closer to him. "Yes. Actually, I like your whole house. Everything is very home-ly.", he murmurs and kisses the top of her head. He pulls her back and they fall on top of the comforter of y/n's bed. Draco turns to his side, pulling her closer to him. Y/n takes in his scent and puts her head on his chest, just beneath his head. Draco's hand finds its way into y/n's hair and he scratches the skin of her skull a bit. Y/n feels how the three magical words lay heavy on her tongue again, begging her to speak them out loud once more. She swallows them down quickly, however. She doesn't want to make a fool out of herself once again.
They lay there for a while and y/n is not sure whether or not she may have dozed off a bit. The room's colour faded to grey indicating that the sun was about to go down. Draco stretches next to her and sits up. "Are you hungry?", y/n asks him. Draco shrugs but y/n knows him well enough that that means yes. They end up ordering pizza and watching y/n's favourite movie. Setting up the telly, Draco is fascinated by the technology and asks a bunch of questions about how it works without magic which y/n definitely can't answer. She lets Draco choose a movie afterwards and they spend the evening rotting on the couch. Eventually, the titles roll and y/n sits up stretching. She peeks over to Draco whose eyes are closed. Did he really fall asleep?, she thinks and pokes his cheek. He wrinkles his nose and opens an eye. "Sleepy? Wanna settle for the night?", y/n asks and Draco yawns and nods. They get up and climb up the stairs to y/n's room. After brushing their teeth, they climb into y/n's bed and Draco pulls her close. Y/n leans her head against his and lets her hand rest on his chest. Draco gently strokes over her back and places soft kisses on her forehead, her cheeks and her nose. Y/n crooks her head and meets him in a soft kiss. It's slow and sweet. Draco puts his hand into her hair and pulls her face closer to him, deepening the kiss. Y/n's heart starts beating faster. They kiss like this for a bit until Draco rolls her over so that y/n lays flat on her back. Draco hovers over her while continuing to kiss her. Y/n puts her hands behind his neck and one of Draco's hands runs up and down her sides. Y/n feels goosebumps forming all over her body. Draco's hand finds the hem of her shirt. His fingers dip under it, softly circling the skin of her hip. He leans his head back for a moment. "Is this okay with you?", he asks. Y/n nods breathlessly, not trusting her voice to say yes. She's expected it to happen tonight. Hell, she kinda hoped it would. Draco pushes his hand under her shirt exploring the warm, naked skin underneath it. Y/n lets her hands run down his back and pulls his shirt up a bit. Draco sits up for a moment and pulls it over his head. Y/n stares up at him in awe. He looks even more pale than usual with the moonlight hitting his skin the way it does at this moment. She sits up a bit and runs her hand down his chest. Draco gently pulls on the neckline of her shirt, silently asking for permission to take it off as well. Y/n swallows. She's nervous. "We don't-", Draco starts but y/n cuts him off by pulling her shirt off as well. Draco doesn't say or do anything for a few seconds. Then he slowly traces a line from her shoulder over her collarbone down to her chest. He leans forward again, kissing her deeply while finally cupping her chest with his hand. Y/n lets herself fall back on the pillow.
She won't worry about anything tonight. Not about her parents or Draco's parents. About whether or not a wizard and a muggle can be together. By the time Draco's hands wander down to her pants, she has forgotten about most of it.

Sorry this is so long. In 2017 i was seen at london gic, given the go ahead for testosterone gel. My gp refused at the time. I tried 3 different gp’s and the 4th agreed to start (now 2020) but she was a locum. When she left my gp cancelled the prescription i was only on it 3 months. I begged my gp to continue but got nowhere as she “didn’t believe it was right thing to do” her words. So i changed gp surgery. It took me so long to change as i felt like giving up, but i finally thought i’d try again. Just had a appointment waited 8 weeks for it and all i got was a referral back to gic London which is 5 year long wait list. I’m going to try another gp at this surgery another 8 week wait. If they refuse to starting a prescription, i’ll have to wait the 5 years again and even then a gp can refuse to prescribe again like the first time. I came out when i was 16 it’s 10 years later and medically i am no further forward. I am so frustrated at the whole system. It feels like i will never be able to medically transition. I want to give up completely. I’ve done everything i can transition wise (documents ect). What are my options if i still get refused from every gp i see, i can’t afford private care. I know legally no gp has to prescribe on recommendation of a specialist but if that’s the case then every gp i see won’t prescribe. I can’t keep trying, it’s exhausting and i haven’t got anywhere in 10years. What can i do?
Hi Anon,
My advise would be to write a letter of complaint to your local NHS board, detailing the fact that you have been prescribed T from your GIC and your multiple GPS have refused you treatment (detail the specific GPs by name). These GPs are acting against the recommendation of the GIC and refusing you care/treatment.
Before you write your letter of complaint, do some research on the NHS website and look at their care statements and policies for patients. This will help you use some of these points in your letter.
GPs may have their own opinions about trans health care but they CANNOT refuse you treatment especially when you have been prescribed T by your GIC. GPs cannot decide who they will and will not treat. This is discrimination. You must say very clearly in your complaint letter that you are being refused treatment as a trans person and you are therefore being discriminated against due to your trans identity. Using words like ‘discrimination’ and ‘refusal of access to medical care’ are really important when writing letters of complaint.
The General medical council clearly state: “That GPs must co-operate with gender identity clinics and specialists to provide effective and timely treatment for trans and non-binary people.”
You may also want to get in contact with your GIC and ask if there is anything further they can do.
You would however NOT be put back to the bottom of the waiting list so you would not have to wait another 5 years for further letters or appointments with your GIC. You would just need to email/call them to discuss your situation.
You should also reach out to your local MSP and tell them about your situation and that as a trans person you are being refused treatment.
Citizens advice are also a good place to contact for advice. Their website states: “if GPs refuse to accept you, they must provide reasonable grounds and give you their reasons in writing”. This will apply to refusing treatment also. I have attached the citizens advice website as it provides a few options to get help.
There are too many trans people having bad experiences like this with their GPs, but writing formal letters of complaint highlighting their discriminatory practises are essential here.
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/health/nhs-healthcare-s/nhs-patients-rights-s/#:~:text=If%20they%20refuse%20to%20accept,first%20choice%20has%20been%20refused.
I have also attached a document that Mermaids created about GPs and their duty of care as well as a link to a website discussing trans healthcare, so you may find this information helpful:

Hi, I'm in Denver and i saw you were treated by Denver health? I got an email from an advocate but it was unclear what I'm supposed to do except wait? You can't call the lgbt center it always gives you voice mail. I have a couple of questions: 1. Tf am i supposed to do, i gather i need to find a pcp to talk to them about this but they were kinda just like HERES STUFF YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOW BULLSHIT IS GONNA BE K BYE GOOD LUCK in the email 2. Are they even any good lmao I'm getting real tired of being treated like a 5 year old many times i express "no you don't understand I'm transgender i don't even want tits."
Yeah healthcare for trans people is such a minefield and I'm sorry fuckers keep disrespecting you.
I get my HRT and other trans related healthcare at planned parenthood. There are several in CO, but the one I go to in Denver has amazing doctors. It just takes a while to get in to any of their locations and even to get ahold of anyone on the phone. But it's worth the wait because they understand what you are asking them and get to the point quickly. I had to have a letter from them and my therapist so my insurance would cover some of my top surgery just as a heads up for you.
I only got top surgery at Denver Health. What I did was contact them specifically about gender affirming surgery (boob removal). In general, I think the doctor at DH are extremely rushed, understaffed, and underfunded so I would not seek a pcp or gender affirming care there. Anything else honestly is a waste of time.
I went to this part of their website to start the process https://www.denverhealth.org/services/lgbtq-services/gender-affirming-surgery/chest-reconstruction-surgery . It took me like a full ass year waiting to even get a consultation so we could schedule another appointment that was to then schedule the actual surgery 3 months out.
Their work sheets are extremely unhelpful most of the time, but don't be afraid to email them and ask for clarification. It's annoying though. I got passed between people constantly on the road to top surgery. But ye. Hopefully this is helpful and I'm wishing you luck dude ❤️

I'm a disabled trans woman currently living with my underpaid and overworked partner off their income as we wait for the beurocracy to agree that I'm disabled and give me the benefits I paid in for the ~10 years I worked before accepting that I'm disabled. Our day-to-day budget, while tight, is functional. However we are so poor as to only get medical insurance through medicaid and to live in the state of Missouri which both already had an explicit exclusion of trans surgeries from Medicaid and recently passed a bill which doubles down on that exclusion and adds in an exclusion for HRT as well.
I've been in touch with a trans legal aid group who said they'd be willing to help with pursuing legal action regarding the old exclusion once I get a direct rejection of the prior authorization I've requested. However, I don't really want to go through the stress of that whole process if I can help it at this point so I'm redoubling .y efforts to get help paying for surgery out of pocket. I've already had a consultation with Dr. Loren Schechter at Rush in Chicago and have all the required medical letters so basically the only thing keeping me from getting surgery scheduled is a lack of funding.
If possible, I would also love to get together enough to just move to the Chicago area, but that's not my priority right now.
I don't currently have a confirmed price estimate for the surgery itself or really any of the related expenses but based on the information I've seen from others I'm guessing it's going to be around $10k-20k. I have no expectation of being able to raise that much from people here, or anywhere else I might share this but I hope to raise enough that I can manage to get a loan to cover the rest.
Donation channels:
Cashapp: $AliceSteelTDD
PayPal: alicesteeltdd
FBPay: message me for link
Crypto: fuck that shit
Others will be added upon request so long as the channel seems trustworthy.
I will update this post as I receive donations and/or details on the actual expected costs.
$0/$10,000
Update: I just received a good faith estimate. The estimate says it will cost $50,615 to them with half up front. Beyond that, I'll also need to cover travel and living expenses for a few months in the area for recovery and follow-up appointments, which I'm guesstimating at around $4.5k. I guess the numbers I'd heard before were after insurance coverage. I've updated the target to $55,000 accordingly. I have yet to receive any aid, so the progress remains at $0.
Update 2: So I got an insurance quote that would cover surgery and everything and if we (my partner and I) could get a loan for $18k with $400/mo payments for 5 years we would be completely set. The problem is our bank will only loan AT MOST 3 months of her gross pay, which is like 7-8k. That would cover our debts and the base premiums for the year, though. Then if I put back my plasma money for the first 2-3 months alongside the amount less than 400/mo that smaller amount's monthly payment is alongside the raise she's expecting to get in the near future (one way or another) and any overtime/extra paychecks we might be able to pull it off! I have to talk it over with my partner before I can go ahead with this gamble though. (Help from others would still definitely be useful to further increase our success odds though.) So on the assumption that we're going to get 7k out of the 18k target in loans I'm going to adjust the goal back to 10k. As we are able to put back money of our own, I'll add that to the progress section. As of now though, there have been no outside donations, and we can't put anything in ourselves, so the progress side stays at $0. (BTW: Anything I get from OF will also be counted towards this, so if you want some nudes/lewds, check that out. I posted about it on my blog the day the first daily post went up.)

had a breakdown yesterday
because i am just so over this countrys fucking healthcare and i just want my goddamn medication that i was happily on for 5 years
make any progress here feels like pulling teeth
after all this bullshit of what documents i need, after providing everything, i was told before christmas i needed my gender dysphoria diagnosis in order to get an appointment w the endo cuz he refused to give me an appt
i finally track the diagnosis down, send it to their office.
dont hear back for weeks, send a follow up email asking if they received it and sent it again
dont hear back, assume its just cuz of christmas etc
ring them yesterday asking for an update and the endo had apparently sent a letter to my gp on the 28th dec STILL refusing me an appointment because now apparently the diagnosis isnt even good enough.
had i not rang up, i wouldnt have even known that decision. im so fucking sick of these places flying over patient's heads making decisions without telling them. and thats apparently a very common problem with the nhs.
its something something the endo only has the dysphoria diagnosis and not all the other medical history that i gave to my gp. so now i have to wait till thursday to see my gp, and evren is helping me collect all the info so we can just...essentially, resend my case from scratch
the denying of the appointment is what broke me. i have never, EVER, experienced this until moving here. even evren says its a bit weird that he doesnt just book me in and ask to send all the info beforehand. its probably the high demand and lack of available appointments id imagine.
i just. im so tired of fighting this. every single attempt i make at getting closer to my hrt, i get kicked back 3 steps. i got my hopes up for weeks, thinking, YES, this diagnosis is the last bit of evidence they need, i can finally get seen to, only to be essentially told it's not good enough and that i cant be seen to.
i am 7 months overdue. i havent had a shot since march 2023. i have been trying to get this sorted since april. all year i have been told no no no. this is the last attempt before we say screw it and go private. but even then, the endo who is refusing my appt is like, the only private/public endo within an hours drive (i'll be willing to go further ofc), and apparently id have to go through the whole psych evaluation all over again. and theres still a waiting list, albeit smaller than the nhs one.
i am desperate. i have always understood obviously, but in these moments i can fully empathise why some trans people give up and end their lives over this.
5 years of being on t, made me forget the desperation i felt pre-t, and how agonising it felt. now? it's like that times a thousand. now that i am caught in this mess, and how much it makes me break down into hysterical sobbing....
im not surprised i dont want to be perceived, feel like a shell of my former self, dont want to engage with the world, on top of all the other reasons. i dont feel real.
fuck thsi healthcare system i swear

A Comprehensive Overview of the USA Visa Process for Dubai Applicants
Tumblr media
Applying for a USA visa from Dubai can be a detailed and sometimes complex process, but with the right information and preparation, it can be navigated smoothly. This comprehensive guide will walk you through each step of the USA visa process, from understanding the types of visas available to preparing for your visa interview. Whether you are traveling for tourism, business, study, or another purpose, this overview will help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
Understanding the Types of USA Visas
The first step in the USA visa process is to identify the type of visa you need. The United States offers a variety of visa categories depending on the purpose of your visit. Here are some of the most common types:
B1/B2 Visa: For business (B1) and tourism (B2) purposes.
F1 Visa: For academic studies.
J1 Visa: For exchange programs, including work and study-related activities.
H1B Visa: For specialized employment.
L1 Visa: For intra-company transferees.
O Visa: For individuals with extraordinary abilities or achievements.
Identifying the correct visa type is crucial as each category has specific requirements and processes.
General Requirements for USA Visa Applicants
Regardless of the type of visa you are applying for, there are some general requirements that all applicants must meet:
1. Valid Passport
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the United States. Ensure it has sufficient blank pages for visa stamps.
2. Completed DS-160 Form
The DS-160 form is the online nonimmigrant visa application. You must fill out this form accurately and submit it electronically. After submission, print the confirmation page with the barcode, as you will need it for your visa interview.
3. Visa Application Fee
Pay the non-refundable visa application fee. The amount varies depending on the visa type. Keep the receipt as proof of payment, which you will need during your interview.
4. Photograph
Provide a recent passport-sized photograph that meets U.S. visa photo requirements. The photo must be in color, taken within the last six months, and have a plain white background.
5. Schedule a Visa Interview
All visa applicants between the ages of 14 and 79 must schedule a visa interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. The wait time for an interview appointment can vary, so schedule it well in advance of your intended travel date.
Specific Requirements for Different Visa Types
B1/B2 Visa (Business/Tourism)
For the B1/B2 visa, you will need to demonstrate the purpose of your trip and your intention to return to Dubai. Required documents include:
Purpose of Visit: For business, provide an invitation letter from the U.S. company, conference details, or business meeting agenda. For tourism, show your travel itinerary, hotel bookings, and travel insurance.
Financial Evidence: Bank statements, pay slips, and other financial documents to prove you can support yourself during your stay.
Ties to Dubai: Employment verification, property ownership documents, and proof of family ties in Dubai to show strong ties to your home country.
F1 Visa (Student)
Students applying for an F1 visa must provide evidence of their acceptance into a U.S. educational institution. Required documents include:
Form I-20: Issued by the educational institution, confirming your admission and providing details of your study program.
Financial Support: Proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition fees and living expenses. This can include bank statements, scholarship letters, and affidavits of support.
Academic Records: Transcripts, diplomas, and standardized test scores (like SAT, GRE, or TOEFL) that demonstrate your academic qualifications.
J1 Visa (Exchange Visitor)
For those participating in exchange programs, the J1 visa requirements include:
Form DS-2019: Issued by the program sponsor, detailing the purpose and duration of the program.
Program Details: Information about the exchange program, including the nature of activities, location, and financial support.
Ties to Dubai: Similar to the B1/B2 visa, you will need to demonstrate strong ties to your home country.
H1B Visa (Specialized Employment)
Applicants for an H1B visa must be sponsored by a U.S. employer. Key requirements include:
Job Offer: A formal job offer from a U.S. employer for a specialty occupation that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge.
Labor Condition Application (LCA): Certified by the U.S. Department of Labor, confirming that the employer will pay the prevailing wage for the position.
Educational Qualifications: Degrees, certificates, and transcripts that prove you have the necessary educational background and skills for the job.
Preparing for the Visa Interview
The visa interview is a crucial part of the application process. Here are some tips to prepare:
Be Honest and Consistent: Provide truthful information in your application and during the interview. Inconsistencies can lead to denial.
Know Your Travel Plans: Be ready to discuss your travel itinerary, purpose of visit, and plans upon returning to Dubai.
Financial Stability: Be prepared to explain how you will finance your trip and provide supporting documents.
Strong Ties to Dubai: Emphasize your connections to Dubai, such as family, job, property, or other commitments that will ensure your return.
Additional Tips for a Successful Application
1. Double-Check Your Application
Ensure all information in your DS-160 form and supporting documents is accurate and complete. Errors can delay the processing of your visa.
2. Gather All Required Documents
Organize your documents neatly and bring both originals and copies to your interview. Having everything in order shows preparedness and professionalism.
3. Stay Updated on Policies
U.S. immigration policies can change, so regularly check the U.S. Embassy and Consulate website in Dubai for updates or changes in requirements.
4. Seek Professional Help if Needed
If you're unsure about any part of the application process, consider consulting with an immigration expert or attorney. They can provide valuable guidance and ensure your application is on the right track.
5. Be Patient
Visa processing times can vary, so it's important to apply well in advance of your intended travel date. Avoid making non-refundable travel arrangements until your visa is approved.
Conclusion
The process of applying for a USA visa from Dubai involves several steps and requires thorough preparation. By understanding the types of visas available, meeting all general and specific requirements, and preparing effectively for the visa interview, you can enhance your chances of a successful application. Remember to stay organized, be honest, and seek professional assistance if needed. With careful planning, you can navigate the USA visa process smoothly and look forward to your journey to the United States.

Royal Screw up- The Third Prince
Return to File
Recovery date: December 26th, 2019
Description: Prompt by _writing_ideas_ on IG:  When an enemy kingdom attacks and takes over the castle, the princess flees with only her lady-in-waiting and her personal guard. Together, the three of them plot a way to take revenge on those that destroyed their lives. Because the enemy king and queen murdered their families, they will murder the enemy royal heirs. The lady-in-waiting, skilled with herbs, will become a healer at the castle and find a way to poison the 2nd heir. The personal guard will become a knight and make a fatal ‘mistake’ during combat training with the 3rd heir. Finally, the princess will take the identity of the daughter of a foreign noble and court the 1st heir, getting close enough to kill them. The plan goes remarkably well- until each of the three grows to like their target.(Some changes were made)
Notes: One of the first series stored in the black box.
Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Word count: 350
Back to directory
Tumblr media
The first time they had met, Atsushi came to the conclusion that he would have no problem poisoning him. He had just been appointed as the royale healer 9 months after he had arrived. Dazai had been appointed as the 2nd heirs guard last month much to everyone’s surprise, but he was good with a sword so it made sense. Yosano had told them during one of their secret meetings that trying to get close to Ozaki was like talking to a brick wall.
Atsushi knocked on Ryunoske’s door only to receive no response. Announcing his presence Atsushi opened the door. The prince looked up at him from his spot his bed, then turned back and continued writing on the bed desk. 
“I don’t believe I told you to come in,” Ryunoske said, before coughing.
“My apologies your highness,” keep it together,” I wasn’t sure if you were asleep and needed to bring you your medicine.”
“Be quick,” he spat.
Atsushi walked over placing a mug from his tray onto the desk and taking the old one. Setting the tray down he took a cloth from the bowl of water he brought and switched it with the one on the back of Ryuu’s neck. Ryuu let out a content sigh before realizing Atsushi was looking at the letter he had been writing. Atsushi, realizing he had been caught grabbed his tray and went to leave. 
“Jinko,” Ryunoske called, "before you go hand me that book on the table.”
Atsushi was tempted to keep walking, and Ryuu could see that. But he still brought the book to the bed bound prince. Atsushi thought the book was strange, he had read it when he was younger. There was no problem with it, it was just strange to see a twenty something man reading a children’s fairytale.
On his way out, he could have sworn he heard a soft thank you. As he walked back to his room he began to wonder who the letter was for, he had seen a name at the top ‘Gin’ but he had never heard that name.

Drinking 3 raw eggs for breakfast.
I went to the toilet twice during the first 2 hours being here in the office.
And I suspect it's the 3 innocent eggs I cracked open at 6:14 in the morning mixed with a tall glass of cold ass milk.
It was delicious by the way.
But that made my GI tract very upset.
Glad the office bathroom has bidet and alcohol in it.
So I'm pretty good.
While my dumpy session was ongoing, I spent my time scrolling through my Facebook timeline for inspiration. (who doesn't?)
Then I saw these annoying blue letters on my bio.
It's my perfectly hyperlinked Substack profile.
I am usually NOT a fan of my work.
*ahemmmm... liar*
But in honor of the humble brags I follow on social media which I found very amusing.
I honestly admit that I do LOVE my work.
And I cannot wait to share it with the world. (This is true by the way)
It's funny because 5 months ago, I was in a really depressed cycle of my life.
Most people won't acknowledge that I was depressed nor will *EVER* be depressed.
Because why would this always smiling, punchline making, unserious guy would ever be depressed????
I would never even accept that I was.
But reading my articles and my journal entries from that date really SCREAMS extreme melancholia. (swiftie here)
Reading my documented struggles, I feel so much pride knowing I was able to express it.
The amount of hate I was writing was SO GOOD.
It was like the perfect HATEFUL words I need to release.
I'm glad I did it.
There will be SHITTY moments in your life when you're absolutely crushed and the world will continue to bring you down.
And people will never notice it.
Help will not find it's way to you.
And your darkest day will often be met by you adjusting for others.
That LEVEL of pain where a FORCEFUL laughter was more excruciating than a night full of tears.
Ok, I know you're reading to find out how I overcame the problem right?
And how did I even manage to pull myself out of this gloomy abyss.
Well, I did a ton.
I quit my low-paying job.
Applied to a job I always wanted. (thanks to my bffs referral)
Borrowed money from Gcash.
Went to Ilo-Ilo for a Doctor's Appointment.
I packed my bags.
Booked a night bus to Manila. (Rushed flight and ticket to Manila is bigger than my salary)
Went to a Malaysia.
Borrowed money from my sister to afford rent.
Eating once a day so I can afford rent.
and lived my life in silence for the next few months while healing myself.
So yeah, that's how I drastically changed my life.
I forced myself to create MORE problems which require me to survive.
And I couldn't be prouder of myself.
For not TAKING shit anymore.
The world is full of opportunities my friend.
Stop staying at that LONELY ass job if you know you don't deserve it.
Resty

Best Yishun Moneylender and Ang Mo Kio Moneylender
Yishun is a residential town in the northwestern region of Singapore. It was previously known as "Nee Soon."
There are some companies out there that provide very little assistance after you have obtained a personal loan; all of these companies are designed to be nothing more than a machine to obtain your money.
There are numerous types of loans that can be used to purchase a good or service. Many people obtain a personal loan for the items they require, which can take various forms. Despite the fact that the same parties are involved (a creditor and debtor), the type of loan is different.
The Goal of Obtaining a Loan from Yishun Moneylenders
1.     In Yishun Moneylenders Singapore personal Loans are available with low interest rates and affordable repayment plans. Interest rates as low as 1% per month
2.     Medication is very expensive. Many people are losing their savings as a result of it. This is one of the main reasons why people apply for quick cash personal loans. It can be used to help pay for dental work, cosmetic surgery, fertility treatments, and other medical procedures. Personal loans can also cover medical travel, parking, and follow-up care.
3.     Personal loans can be useful in the event of a family member's death. Funerals can be costly. If the bereaved family is unable to cover the costs, they can apply for a personal loan. It can help pay the deceased's bills.
How you get loan In Yishun
1.     Go to the website of the licensed moneylender. You can use the loan calculator to estimate the amount of interest you will pay. Licensed moneylenders may offer you repayment terms to think about.
2.     Apply for a personal loan online. When you have completed your registration, you will receive an email or a phone call to schedule your appointment with the moneylender.

5.     You can sign the loan contract if you agree to everything.
6.     Obtain your funds. Make sure you obtain a copy of your contract. This will protect you.
Ang Mo Kio in Hokkien literally means the "red-haired man's bridge". It references the bridge over the Kallang River within the area.Ang Mo Kio is the third most populous planning area in Singapore's north-east region. 
Common Applications of Personal Loans in Ang Mo Kio Singapore:
1.     A high-interest loan will deplete your income settling it with another loan is a good idea. The interest rate on a personal loan is lower than the monthly interest rate on a credit card and loans from loan sharks. It also simplifies the payment of multiple loans by consolidating them into a single, more manageable loan.
2.     A personal loan is a good option if you are in a pinch and need emergency funds to cover a healthcare bill for yourself or a family member. When compared to using a credit card, a personal loan will allow you to access a significant amount to cover healthcare costs.
3.     Saving money for a large purchase is sometimes impossible. This is especially true if saving enough money will take a long time.
With a personal loan, you can skip the waiting period and buy whatever item you want right away.
How Do I Get A Loan?
You must prepare the following documents in order to meet the criteria.
1.     National Identification Card/NRIC
2.     Proof of Residence, such as a recent bill, letter, or tenancy agreement

4.     Be familiar with your SingPass ( to log into CPF, HDB, IRAS website)

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH)’s BIOGRAPHY : The Conquest of Makkah.2
Abu Sufyan is in Makkah
When Abu Sufyan arrived in Makkah, the Qurayshis asked him, “What did you do? Tell us.”
Feeling ashamed of being an unsuccessful envoy, Abu Sufyan narrated them what had happened in detail.
The fear of the Qurayshi polytheists increased.
Preparation for the Conquest
The Messenger of God made his final decision: They would go on an expedition. However, he wanted to keep this decision, the expedition to Makkah, as a secret. It was a precaution taken by him. He did so because he did not want the enemy to make preparations and to force them to surrender without shedding much blood. He was appointed by God to convey the message of Islam to people not to eliminate them. If they were forced to surrender, many of them could accept Islam. Thus, they would be believers. Then, dominating the enemy instead of eliminating them was more appropriate for his lofty purpose.
Therefore, the Messenger of God kept his purpose regarding the Expedition of Makkah as a secret. He only said to Hazrat Aisha, “Make preparations for my travelling.” The Prophet needed secrecy more than any other expeditions this time because he wanted to enter  Makkah, the holy city, without shedding any blood and to clear the Kaaba, the most honorable and virtuous building on the earth, from the idols without killing anybody. His following prayer expressed his intention clearly:  
“O God! Prevent the agents and informers of the Qurayshis from seeing and hearing until we reach their land suddenly. Let them see and hear me suddenly.”[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 39-40. ]
The Prophet sent Abu Qatada with a military unit to Izam valley in order to make people think that he was planning to attack Najd not the Qurayshi polytheists.[ Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 13; Halabi, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 207. ]Thus, news that the Muslims would go to Najd not to Makkah would be spread; consequently, the polytheists would not feel worried and they would not make any preparations.
After taking these precautions, the Messenger of God told some of his Companions that an expedition to Makkah would be made and told them to make preparations.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 39. ]
There were several tribes that had become Muslims around Madinah. The Prophet sent this message to them: “Those who believe in God and the hereafter should be ready in Madinah at the beginning of the month of Ramadan.”[ Waqidi, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 799. ]
The tribes that heard the call of the Messenger of God started to come to Madinah at the beginning of Ramadan.
Setting off from Madinah
It was during the first days of the month of Ramadan.
Ten thousand mujahids, whose hearts were full of the love of the Messenger of God were ready in Madinah.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42; Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 135. ] Seven hundred of them were Muhajirs. They had three hundred horses. The number of Ansar was four thousand. They had five hundred horses. The remaining mujahids were the Muslims from the tribes around.
The Messenger of God appointed Abu Ruhm Kulthum b. Hu­sayn as his deputy in Madinah.[Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42.]
The Islamic army was waiting for the command of movement from the Messenger of God.
Message Sent to the Polytheists
The Islamic army was waiting ready for the movement.
Meanwhile, the Prophet summoned Hazrat Ali, Zubayr b. Awwam and Miq­dad b. Aswad and said to them,
“Go at once. When you arrive at the Khakh Orchard, you will find a woman on an animal; she has a letter. Take the letter from her and bring it to me.”[ Muslim, Sahih, Vol. 4, p. 1941; Tirmidhi, Sunan, Vol. 5, p. 409. ]
Without asking the reason for this order, the three Companions went very quickly to the Khakh Orchard and found the woman.
They asked her, “Where is the letter?”
The woman said, “I have no letter or anything like that.”
Thereupon, they made the camel of the woman kneel down. They made the woman dismount the camel and searched her belongings but they could not find the letter.
Thereupon, Hazrat Ali drew his sword and said to the woman angrily,  “I swear by God that the Messenger of God (pbuh) never tells lies. Either give us the letter or we will make you take off your clothes and search you if necessary.”
The woman asked, “Are you not Muslims?”
The mujahids said, “Yes, we are Muslims but the Messenger of God (pbuh) told us that you had a letter.”
The woman realized that she had nothing else to do. She said to the mujahids, “Turn your faces away from me.”
When the Companions turned their faces away, she unbraided her hair and removed the letter; she gave it to Hazrat Ali.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 41; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 114. ]
The Companions took the letter to the Messenger of God.
Everybody was surprised and astonished. The letter had been written by Hatib b. Abi Baltaa, who had joined the Battle of Badr, to the polytheists in order to inform them about the preparation of the Prophet.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 40; Muslim, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 1941. ]
The Prophet summoned Hatib at once.
When Hatib arrived, the letter was read to him.
The Messenger of God asked, “Do you recognize this letter?”
He said, “Yes, I do.”
“Did you write it?”
Hatib did not deny writing it: “Yes, I did.”
The Prophet asked, “Why did you do it?”
Hatib explained, “O Messenger of God! Do not haste to decide about me. I am not from the Qurayshis. I have nobody to protect my family and belongings in Makkah like the other muhajirs. I did it so that I would make the notables of the Quraysh feel grateful to me and protect my family. I did not do it because I became a believer or exited my religion. By God, I maintain my belief in God and His Messenger.”[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 41; Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, ibid, Vol. 1, p. 80; Muslim, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 1941; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 114. ]
The Prophet said, “You told the truth.” Then, he turned to his Companions and said, “He told you the truth. Do not say anything bad to him.”[ Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, ibid, Vol. 1, p. 105. ]
Hazrat Umar could not keep his temper and said, “O Messenger of God! Let me kill this hypocrite.”
The Messenger of God did not let him and said, “He joined the Battle of Badr. Who knows? Maybe God said about the people who took part in the Battle of Badr on the day of Badr, ‘Do whatever you want. I forgave you. Paradise is waiting for you; you deserve to enter Paradise’.”
Thereupon, Hazrat Umar started to cry and said, “God and His Messenger know everything better.”[ Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, ibid, Vol. 1, p. 105. ]
Upon this incident, God Almighty sent down the following verse, warning the believers:
“O ye who believe! Take not My enemies and yours as friends (or protectors)― offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Messenger and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.”[ al-Mumtahina, 1. ]
The Islamic Army is on the Way of Conquest
After the preparations were made, the Messenger of God ordered the army of ten thousand soldiers that beat like a single heart to move.
They left Madinah on the first days of Ramadan. Therefore, the Messenger of God and the mujahids were fasting.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 114. ]
The weather was very hot. It was very tiring and difficult to walk in this heat. It was almost impossible to bear it. There could have been a clash any time; they could have been attacked. In fact, strength was necessary in a war. Fasting made the mujahids weak. However, they could not act on their own. Therefore, they were observing what the Messenger of God would do. Would they break the fast or would they go on fasting?  
When the Islamic army reached the place called Qudayd, the Prophet broke his fast after the afternoon prayer and ordered his Companions to do so.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42; Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 139; Bukhari, Sahih, Vol. 5, p. 90. ]
Meanwhile, a group of eight people and Abu Qatada, who had been sent to Najd, came and joined the army. Many Muslims living around came and joined the Islamic army.  
Abbas, who was coming from Makkah with his family, met the Islamic army in a place called Juhfa. The Prophet was very glad to see Abbas. He told Abbas to stay with him and send his belongings to Madinah. He said, “O Abbas! You are the last Muhajir.” The Prophet kept Abbas near him during the expedition.
Those Who Became Muslims on the Way
The Islamic army under the command of the Messenger of God was proceeding magnificently. Meanwhile, some people came and embraced Islam. They were Abu Sufyan b. Ha­rith, one of the cousins of the Prophet, and Abdullah b. Abi Umayya.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42. ]
The Messenger of God first did not want to meet them and turned his face away because they were very close friends with him before his prophethood but became his enemy when he was given the duty of prophethood; they harassed and insulted him. Abu Sufyan b. Ha­rith, who was a poet, used to satirize the Prophet and Muslims severely. Abdullah b. Abi Umayya, who was also a relative of the Prophet, used to disturb the Prophet with his words and acts.[ Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 49-50. ]
However, Umm Salama mediated and said to the Prophet that he should not turn his face away from them. Nevertheless, the Messenger of God did not want to accept them saying, “I do not need them.”
When Abu Sufyan b. Harith heard the words of the Messenger of God, he held the hand of his young son, Jafar, and said, “By God, if you do not let me enter your presence, I will hold my son’s hand and wander on the earth until he is destroyed.”
The heart of the Prophet, who was the symbol of compassion and mercy, could not put up with his words. He invited them to his presence and forgave them. Thus, they became Muslims.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 43; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 114. ]
The Army is Deployed
The Prophet who stopped over at the place called Qudayd, arranged and deployed his army there; he gave standards and flags to the tribes and their standard-bearers and flag-bearers. Muhajirs had three flag-bearers: Hazrat  Ali, Hazrat Zubayr b. Awwam and Hazrat Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas… Ansar had twelve flag-bearers. Apart from them, Ashjas and Sulayms had one flag-bearer each. There were also fourteen standard-bearers in the Islamic army. Three of them belonged to Muzaynas, two to Aslams, four to Juhaynas, three to Sons of Ka’b and two to Sulayms.[ Waqidi, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 819. ]
The Islamic Army is in Marruzzahran
Then, the Prophet stopped in Mar­ruz­zah­ran with his army.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42. ]
The secret strategy of the Prophet became very successful up to that time; Makkans did not hear anything about them.
Ten Thousand Fires
They arrived in the valley of Marruzzahran at night. The Prophet wanted to inform Makkan polytheists, who were unaware of their arrival up to that time, through a magnificent fire show; he ordered every mujahid to light a fire.[ Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 135. ]
Ten thousand fires were lit at the same time. This dazzling view illuminated Makkah. The polytheists were terrified. The Prophet, whom they had forced to migrate, was shining in the horizon of Makkah magnificently with ten thousand bright lights around him; he was rising in the horizon of Makkah to warm the spirits and hearts. The polytheists were astonished by this rise. This sun was not so bright two years ago; it did not have such strength and magnificence. How did it develop and grow so much and illuminate around? How did the light that they had wanted to extinguish become so bright as to make them dim? They could not understand the secret of this amazing development.  
The Qurayshi polytheists realized the situation only when they saw this dazzling view of ten thousand fires and understood that Makkah had been surrounded.
The Prophet Says that he had Herded Sheep
The Islamic army had not left Marruzzahran yet.
The Messenger of God ordered some Companions to collect the fruits of the miswak (peelu) trees called arak and said, “I recommend you to collect the black ones because the black ones are the sweetest ones.”[ Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 1, p. 126; Muslim, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 1621. ]
The Companions were surprised. They said, “O Messenger of God! Shepherds know the good and bad kinds of this fruit. Did you use to herd sheep?”
The Messenger of God said, “All prophets herded sheep. I used to herd my family’s (his uncle Abu Talib’s) sheep in Ajyad (a place near Makkah).”[ Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 1, p. 126; Muslim, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 1621. ]
Abu Sufyan is in the Presence of the Prophet
Meanwhile, the polytheists were very scared and appointed Abu Sufyan, their leader, and a few people to find out about the situation.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 42; Ibn Sa’d, ibid, Vol. 2, p. 135; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 114. ]
Abu Sufyan and his men left Makkah at night; while they were approaching the Muslim headquarters, they were captured by some mujahids. If Abbas had not come, they would have been beaten by the mujahids.  
Abbas took Abu Sufyan to the presence of the Prophet. Hazrat Umar followed them with his hand on the handle of his sword and said, “O Messenger of God! God gave us the opportunity to capture Abu Sufyan without any treaty and protection. Let me kill him.”
Abbas intervened: “O Messenger of God! He is under my protection.”
However, Hazrat  Umar did not give up; he repeated his demand.
Abbas said, “O Umar! That is enough. By God, if Abu Sufyan were from Sons of Adiyy b. Ka’b (the tribe of Hazrat Umar), you would not talk like that.” Hazrat Umar said angrily, “O Ab­bas! By God, if my father Khattab had been alive and had embraced Islam, I would not have been as happy as I was when you became a Muslim. I know that the Messenger of God (pbuh) would not have been as happy if my father had been alive and become a Muslim as he was when you became a Muslim”[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 45; Tabari ibid, Vol. 3, p. 116. ]
The Prophet ended this argument by saying, “O Abbas! Take Abu Sufyan to the place of settlement and bring him back to me in the morning.[ Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 116 ]
Abu Sufyan Becomes a Muslim
Abbas brought Abu Sufyan to the presence of the Messenger of God in the morning.
The Messenger of God said, “Is it not time for you to say ‘La ilaha illallah’?”
Abu Sufyan gave a poor answer: “What will I do with those idols? How shall I give up Lat and Uzza?”
Hazrat Umar was waiting behind the tent of the Prophet. When he heard the words of Abu Sufyan, he said furiously, “You are lucky that you are inside the tent; if you were outside, you could not say those words.”
Abu Sufyan said, “O Umar! Woe on you! You are harsh like your father. I did not come here to talk to you. I am here to talk to my cousin. Let me talk to him.” Abu Sufyan said to the Prophet, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! There is nobody superior to you in good manners, lenience and protecting relatives.” Then, he thought for a while; this thought made him approach the truth. He said, “By God, I think there is no god but Allah. If there were, they would have protected me and been beneficial to me.”[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 46; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 116; Halabi, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 18. ]
The Prophet understood from his words that he accepted the truth: “La ilaha illallah”. This time, the Prophet asked, “O Abu Sufyan! Is it not time for you to say ‘Muhammadun Ra­su­lul­­lah’?”
Abu Sufyan hesitated for a moment. He had not been able to untangle the knot in him yet. There was a doubt that he did not know from where it was coming. He said, “O Muhammad! Give me some more time because there is something doubtful in my mind.”
Meanwhile, Abbas intervened:
“O Abu Sufyan! Woe on you! Come to your senses! Are you aware of what you are doing? Become a Muslim before you are killed. Say that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is God’s Messenger.”
Thereupon, Abu Sufyan uttered kalima ash-shahada and became a Muslim.[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 45-46; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 116; Halabi, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 18-19. ]
The Instant Reward of his Belief
Abbas wanted the Messenger of God to give some privilege to Abu Sufyan. He said, “O Messenger of God! Abu Sufyan likes being superior and being praised. Will you give him a privilege that he will take pride in?
The Messenger of God said, “All right! Anyone that enters Abu Sufyan’s house will be regarded secured.”
Abu Sufyan said, “My house is not so big.” He wanted the Prophet to enlarge his grace.
This time, the Messenger of God said, “Anyone that enters the Kaaba will be regarded secured.”
Abu Sufyan did not regard it sufficient, either; he said, “The Kaaba is not so big.”
Then, the Prophet said, “Anyone that enters Masjid al-Haram will be regarded secured.”
Abu Sufyan wanted it to be enlarged; he said “Masjcid al-Haram is not so big.”
Thereupon, the Prophet enlarged his grace and said, “Anyone that closes his gate and stays in will be regarded secured”[ Ibn Hisham, ibid, Vol. 4, p. 46; Tabari, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 116; Ibn Kathir, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 552; Halabi, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 19. ]
Abu Sufyan had nothing else to ask for; he expressed his satisfaction by saying,  “This is big enough.”[ Ibn Kathir, ibid, Vol. 3, p. 552. ]

Quarterly Update
I'll try and remember what I can.
The dentist's appointment was okay. I was anxious the entire time. They said I have 5 cavities that need to be filled. I still haven't gotten an appointment for that just because I was in the process of getting new insurance during that time. I have no excuses now. Just scared. I should do it before August though.
Where I left off job-wise is that I had a Zoom interview for a Mental Health Tech job. I did that and it went well, and we set up an in-person interview, which also went well. They couldn't hire me until I was 21 and the interview was on April 12th. So they had to wait till the end of April. And I told them I'd like to wait till after graduation so I'm completely available. They were fine with that.
All that being said, it was radio SILENT even AFTER graduation. It took me showing up on a Monday in June I think to ask what was going on since I had no calls and no one would call me back. They said they had tons of applications when I showed up and were making the best choice, so it would take a bit.
Well, less than a week later they offer me a PRN shift. Meaning I would only have 3 or 4 shifts a month to cover other people's shifts. I took it anyway even though it wasn't ideal because it meant I would have to stay at Pizza Hut. And I would have to call in if the PRN called me in. BUT they sent me all the things, I set up my references and everything. Set up a drug test.
This is where it goes south. I hadn't seen my ID since graduation (I didn't lose it there, I had it home with me) and you need that for a drug test. So I panicked and showed up at the place to get an ID and they were packed. They didn't have any appointments until the end of June and it was the beginning of June. Orientation was in the middle of June and I needed the DT to go to that. So defeated, I called MH job and told them that. They said no worries and they could push my orientation to the middle of July. I was UPSET. I had my interview in early April and wouldn't be starting till July now and it wasn't even a full-time position. But again, I took it anyway.
Flash forwards to about two weeks ago from now. Eric suggests that I look for full-time work. I agree since I really hate Pizza Hut and want to leave. I'm beyond burned out. So he looks for me and suggests the school system nearby. I apply for a few Teaching Assistant jobs as you don't need an education degree, just a degree. Lo and behold they call and set up an interview for Tuesday morning (7/21). That goes extremely well and they hire me on the spot. (an official hire, no strings attached unlike the last one which was a little my fault but I digress). I get my yes email literally 2 hours after leaving and here I am. Now waiting for HR to get ahold of me so I can start getting into their system.
Meaning I am going to be a Kindergarten Teacher's Assistant starting in August. Who would have thought? It gives me an opportunity to work with kids. I'm thinking about being a child psychologist so this is good work. And they said they'll pay for most of my master's to go into education since you have to be a teacher first before you can be a school psychologist. But I am going to work here for a year or two and then go from there.
------------------------------------------
So that's the dentist and the job. As for moving, we are settling for a 2 bedroom in this same complex. It's more space and it's temporary. Gives me a chance to start a full-time job and him time to build credit for a house. Hopefully, we are only there for a year but who knows.
I'm not sure where I was T wise on my last post. I had my endocrinologist appointment on May 2nd. Everything went well, they took blood. Things came back within maybe 2 weeks-ish. Then my therapist and I made a letter at some point to send to them. They never got it I guess but she was gone for surgery so I had to wait till she got back. They finally got back to me Tuesday (the same day as the interview) and said they're putting in the order for it. The pharmacy was out but they received it yesterday afternoon after work so I'm picking it up today. I'm going to need a 2nd post about my feelings bc this is already so long.
But I think that's most of what you've missed. I had a huge falling out with dad that I sort of started but I was fed up. So I'm avoiding talking to him at this point. The occasional I love you texts are being ignored because it's pointless. Have a convo with me if you want to talk to me. But I digress.

Congrats on 2k mama sweet,,,!! :))
Since there is no sk8 requests yet how about option 2 - Kaoru x reader <3 Had this thought after reading ur arranged marriage fic... how about at the start of the marriage reader thinks that Kaoru is cheating on her when he sneaks out at night but after he tells her about S, reader feels kinda silly for thinking so.. next thing you know Kaoru is taking reader to all the beefs as his lucky charm. Reader even has a matching costume and the others start calling her "Lady Cherry" or smth,, teaches reader to skate (she's lowkey jealous of carla >.<) + some domestic fluff (what if reader finds out she's pregnant....) This doesn't have to be connected to the other fic & you can ignore the cheating part if u like... :-*
A/N: :0 Lady Cherry is a super smart name!
other fic here
Please enjoy~🍰
*******************************************************
Tumblr media
There he went again...
The sliding door of your shared room altered you from your sleep. This was the 6th night in a row that he left without a word in the middle of the night. The first 2 nights you thought he was simply tending to business and was just busy. After the 4th day, you were suspicious and a bit hurt. He did tell you he didn’t want to hurt you and treat you right....so where was he going?
This was another night he had gotten up, so instead of staying in bed you followed him. 
“Carla, make sure to lock the doors when I leave“ he said to his AI
“Yes, master“ you scoffed. You had to admit the stupid computer got on your nerves. He practically loved talking to her and every time she answered him, he gets all giddy. You were really jealous but you wish he’d get that way with you.  
Just as he was going to leave you called for him
“Kaoru?“ he froze and turned around “It’s late...“ you said coming closer to him. That’s when you noticed what he was wearing, he was in a sleeveless yukata with a black mask over his face, and a...skateboard?
“Y/N I...um...“ being that he can’t speak about S he was contemplating whether to tell you or not. But you were his wife and he wanted to be open with you on everything. However what you said next caught him off guard
“...if there’s someone else please just tell me...“ and the way you looked when you said it just broke his heart. Did you really think he was cheating? Even though this was arranged, he couldn’t ask for someone better to be his wife. You were smart, shy but bright, not to mention beautiful.
“Y/N“ he walked to you and rests his hand on your shoulder “I would never cheat on you and I assure you there is no one else.”
“Then why do you leave at night?“ you ask
“*Sigh*....I go skating.“ he said bluntly. There was nothing to hide from you and it was all true
“...huh“ he lifted his board for you to see
“Some friends and I go skateboarding in a secret location for races and such. We only go at night so we go unnoticed.“ he held up a small pin “It’s called S..now that you know you can’t tell anyone. Now go throw something on, we’re heading out.“
Just as he said you were heading out in the dead of night. And of course you had to ride on Carla, every time he spoke to her it was like he was talking to his crush. As you approach a gate with two guards he gives you a larger sticker of the letter ‘S’. You show them to security and make it inside where people had started screaming. You knew he was popular among women but this was more than you thought
“Lord Cherry!!” one screamed 
“Kao-”
“Cherry” he interrupted 
“What?”
Getting his bike to a stop he helps you off and says “we don’t use our real names here for security reasons. Here I’m Cherry blossom.” 
So what he was telling you was true. You honestly felt a bit silly for jumping to conclusions so quickly. Before he was off to what he called a ‘beef’ he introduced you to JOE. You were surprised to see the popular chef here as well, although you knew they had been friends for years. The large screen in the area showed you just how goof he was at this. 
He was fast but graceful, sharp an precise on corners. The crowd only cheered louder than before. 
“So, you’re the one he’s been talking about huh?“ Joe asked 
“He’s been...talking about me?“ you asked
He nodded “He was gone for like 3 days in a row not to mention he was brushing off more women now. That’s when he told us there was someone he wanted to be loyal to.” okay, now you felt really silly. After the race was done and over with Cherry had made his way back to you. He comes and embarrass you and whispers in your ear
“You brought me good luck.“ you felt your heart skip a beat from the feeling of being close to him
“oooo, look at Lord Cherry with his lady~“
“Shut up you big oaf!!“
<>
During the next few months you had gone with him to almost every beef. You had even gained a name for yourself, ‘Lady Cherry’. You had become quite popular among some men there and even cherry’s female fans. He would usually bring you as his ‘lucky charm’, it was cheesy but sweet at the same time. They also had a habit of saying 
“The Cherries have arrived“ 
On his free time he would actually taught you how to skate, well he tried anyway. Balance wasn’t exactly easy and being from a traditional family, this was unusual for you. You’d be holding on to his shoulders while his hands held your waist
“Don’t let me fall“
“You’re doing just fine dear. Why don’t we try some tricks“ he offered  
“Are you sure you’re the man I married?“ you ask with a smirk
“The one and only dear“ he kissed your cheek 
It was honestly so cute to him. You’d have a scared but excited look on your face. Your cheeks would turn pink and it just made his heart fluttered. On top of all that you were willing to indulge in something he has loved from a young age. He always took you with him to each beef he attended. Both for showing you off an he is in love with the idea of winning every race for not just himself but for you as well.  
Although tonight you wouldn’t make it to the beef. He was going to race Joe but that was put on hold. You had been feeling sick all day and you just finished emptying your stomach. As much as you told him to go, he refused to leave.
“You’re my wife and you’re clearly not okay“ he said helping you up off the floor “you come before any beef or competition. Now come on, let’s get you to the hospital and get you checked out.“
A short drive to the general hospital was taken that night. No, he would not wait until tomorrow morning. He wanted to know that you were okay and didn’t have anything terminal. After speaking with the nurse and giving some blood and urine samples you both patiently waited. You leaned against him playing with the digits of his fingers. 
*Knock knock* “Ma’am we have your results” the doctor says holding up a couple of papers and even some medicine. “well, you’re clear for any terminal conditions or diseases. although you have some hormonal imbalances and some new ones kicking in.”
“Meaning?“ Kaoru urged him on
“Congratulations, you’re 4 weeks pregnant.“
“....“ you both sat in shock at the news. You were pregnant? Well, you two were active, and maybe Kaoru has his own little rituals. Either after or before a beef he’d get frisky and was set on pleasing you both. It shouldn’t have been a surprise that this would have happened, still it was shocking news
“These are some prenatal vitamins you’ll need to take for the month. Make sure to make an appointment to check on the baby alright?” giving you the vile of pills he takes his leave leaving you both in silence. What were you supposed to say? How were you going to deal with this? Were you even ready?
“-together.“ you didn’t catch his whole sentence 
“I’m sorry what was that?” you ask him
“We’ll this together alright?“ he took your hand in his “believe me I’m as shocked as you are but, we’ll figure this out together okay?“
“Alright“ you smile back 
“We should probably start with a bigger house for the three of us“
<>
“Kaoru, come on it’s just paint I can-“
“You are not moving a muscle“ he cut you off “I want you to rest all you can. You’re making a baby and that’s enough.“
To say he was strict during your pregnancy was an understatement. As soon as your belly started showing you were no longer going to beefs with him. You were currently 6 months along, and expecting a girl! Kaoru was over the moon to know it was a girl. he would have been happy with a boy too, but a little copy of you was like a dream. He couldn't wait to see the little girl that would look like you and act like him.
Today was nursery day, which meant painting, building and organizing. Kaoru had you only fold and organizing the clothes and things while he painted. Of course being your idea you had called the boys over to help. Joe was building some stuff along with Shadow. Langa and Reki were actually helping to paint the walls. 
“I appreciate you guys coming to help“ you smile 
“Hey it’s no problem, at least you told us about it“ Joe commented. Oh yeah, he also wanted to keep it a secret so that 
‘the idiot wouldn’t ruin your pregnancy‘ which made you laugh for a good 5 minutes. But they were very good help and made the process easier 
“Hey so what are you naming the baby?“ Reki asked 
“Well, Kaoru kind of wanted to associate it with his skate name so we agreed on Sakura.“
“AAWWHH“ everyone said out load slightly teasing him. Without turning from the wall he said
“....I just wanted a beautiful name for her was all.“ although he was cold at times they knew he meant well especially for his family.  A while late Joe made a small dinner for you all to enjoy. You thanked them for coming over and you were done for the night. You were putting on some lotion over your rounded middle when Kaoru came behind you. He wrapped his arms around and over your own hands and rested there for a moment
“Who would have thought we’d be here huh?” You whisper
“In all honesty I was hoping for it” he admired “before we married you were described as a caring and sweet woman. But you were so much more once we were married. You’re compassionate, intelligent, stubborn, beautiful, and absolutely perfect” he said kissing the side of your head “and now, you’ve given me the gift of being a father. Thank you”
Turning in his hold you wipe away small tears “oh Kaoru , thank you too. You’ve treated me like I’m the only person you need. On top of that you take care of me but still give me my freedom. I love you..”
“And I love you” he rests his forehead against yours as his fingers trace over your baby bump.

I hope this was okay!❤️

Haikyuu!! Boys as Bad Dad moments
Characters: Akaashi, Washio, Konoha, Kita, Suna, Ushijima, Yahaba, Iwaizumi, Futakuchi, Daishou and Numai
**These are ways they “failed” as fathers. I am not talking about ACTUALLY failing as fathers, just things dads have done that most of us either remember/get told about NOT TO BE TAKEN  S E R I O U S L Y  it is just for      f u n  I also gave them all at least 2 kids cause SibLiNgS**
A ‘*’ means it happened to me lol
TW- Mentions of giving too much medicine, accidental pain caused to child, these are things I either experienced/knew people who experienced them, allusion to cursing/a FEW bad words (but I substitute a letter for something else :)
*Akaashi Keiji: 
He had been working in his office when his son had come in.
You had been putting your newborn to sleep for a nap when your son decided he wanted to be with his dad.
His son was only 3, so when Akaashi was held up in his office editing his son, Kenji, would sometimes come in and plop himself in Akaashi’s lap.
His sons small feel padded on the floor while he made his way to his father, softly tugging on his pants as he stuck his arms up.
Akaashi smiled and softly chuckled before gently picking up his son from under his arms and placing him on his lap.
He got to work soon after, reading and revising the pages.
Other than having his son on his lap it wasn’t unusual for him to be drinking coffee while working.
Keep in mind, your son had inherited a lot from Akaashi, and not just his looks or personality.
But also his habits.
Because of this, your son was very fidgety, usually toying with a string or your fingers.
That meant he tended to move around a lot.
Akaashi had just lifted his not-so-cold coffee to his lips when his son had made a sudden movement, causing him to knock his arm and, “AHH” Akaashi’s eyes snapped open as his son started crying, cursing under his breath he stood up gently holding his son in his arms as he carried him to the bathroom.
Sitting him down on the counter he dried the coffee off of his son, luckily it hadn’t been hot enough to burn him, but it was still hot enough to hurt.
“What happened? I heard crying, is he okay?” Akaashi sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.
“Yeah, he’s okay, he bumped my arm and I spilled my coffee on him. He’s okay! It didn’t burn him, but it did hurt...” Your frowned as you stood in front of your son, giving him a soft smile before kissing his arm, cause kisses always make it feel better~
You carefully picked him up from the counter, rocking him slowly side to side as he burrowed into your shoulder.
“Are you okay little man~” He nodded as he sniffled into your shoulder, little hands clutching onto the fabric of your t-shirt.
“You know daddy didn’t mean it, it was an accident.” He nodded again, lifting his head to rub his eyes and reach out for his dad.
Akaashi gave a wobbly smile before reaching over to grab him, kissing the top of his head as he carried him back to his office, making sure to have some iced coffee instead.
Washio Tatsuki: 
This would be the first time Washio was left alone with the twins.
5 months ago, you and your husband had had your first children, your adorable fraternal twins Natsuki and Tatsuo.
Today would be the first day you would be away from them, but with your mother being sick and you being the only one available to take care of her you had to go.
You weren’t too worried about your husband, he was already a good dad so you had no doubt they were in good hands.
But it was never an enjoyable experience to have to leave your kids, especially your babies, and for the first time. 
So, you decided to leave early in the morning, give them their good morning kisses and head over to your parents house.
Before you left you changed their diapers, letting them play in their little play pen while your husband tried to get up.
Rubbing his eyes Washio walked into the play room.
He had to go to the gym today for a meeting, fortunately EJP had a really good daycare system in the stadium, so he could leave his kids there while he attended the short meeting.
He stopped in his tracks as his face blanched and he felt his breath stop.
You had changed the twins’ diapers...but you hadn’t dressed them.
The twins were still young, so without looking at their, uh, biological differences you couldn’t tell them apart....
Now, usually when this happened you guys would just check the diapers, but you had just done them..
And he was already running a bit late.
So, he made his best guess, got them dressed (one in pink, the other in blue), fed and in the car driving them to the stadium.
Once he got there he quickly dropped them off, rushing to his meeting.
The meeting had been fairly simple, just some pre-season info he’d need.
After chatting with his coach/teammates, and stopping Suna and Komori from pulling a prank, he made his way back to the daycare.
He walked into the building when one of the younger care takers, Yui, walked up to him, One twin in each arm.
He smiled as he carefully put them into their carriers.
“Uhm, just a question...” He looked up to her and motioned for her to continue.
“...Were you aware that Tatsuo was wearing the dress?” Washio sighed as he ran a hand down his face shaking his head. Yui light heartedly smiled, “Don’t worry, we switched them.” Thanking them, he picked up his babies and went home.
He was not prepared for the way you cackled when he told you what happened.
*Konoha Akinori: 
You had gone away for a business trip, leaving your husband Konoha home with your 3 kids. (You guys have 2 girls and a boy)
Your middlest child, your son Akira, had recently come down with a cold making the poor thing miserable when he tried to sleep.
Being the good dad that he is, he gave his son some benadryl!
The next morning he woke up, and after letting his kids sleep in for a little bit he woke them up too.
...two of them.
He tried several times to get his son to leave his bed, but the little kid couldn’t so much as swing one foot over the side of his bed with out falling asleep again.
He didn’t think too much of it, the kid had a cold after all.
So he let him sleep for another hour or so before making him get up for real.
A day later you got home, and everything was pretty much normal.
Until you went to put your son to bed, and realized he had crashed on the couch.
“...Uhm, Akinori?” Your husband lifted his head at your voice, setting the dishes in the sink and drying his hands with a towel as he made his way over to you. 
“Yeah babe?” You took a look over towards your son before looking back to your husband.
“...Has Akira been like that all weekend?” Konoha ran his hand through his hair as he sighed. “No, only since Saturday. He wasn’t feeling good so I gave him some benadryl, he’s been dead to the world since.” You slowly nodded.
“Uhm, Akinori?” He raised an eyebrow at you. “How much benadryl did you give him?”
He left to grab the box, coming back with it in his hand as he continued to look at it.
He shook his head in confusion. “I gave him the amount the box said, 1 teasp-”- He paused.
Uh oh.
He in fact, had not given his son a teaspoon of benadryl.
He had given him a tablespoon.
*Kita Shinsuke: 
You had to leave early one morning for a doctors appointment; you were pregnant with you and Kita’s second child. 
Usually for these appointments Kita’s grandmother would watch your 3 year old daughter Kyoka.
But she had something to do that morning so Kita was the one responsible for getting her ready for preschool.
Kita was a good father so you weren’t worried.
You knew she would be put together, fed, and on time.
There was just one thing you couldn’t account for.
“Daddy?” Kita looked away from the mirror he was shaving in and down to his daughter, washing away the traces of shaving cream. “Yes sweetheart?”
She held out her small hand, 2 bright pink hair ties with little butterfly charms on them held out in her palm.
“Can you do my piggy tails please?” His eyes widened.
He hadn’t done hair...like...ever.
But from the puppy eyes his little princess was giving him, how could he not do it?!
Plus, it couldn’t be that hard...right? I mean, he had watched you do it plenty of times, and it was pretty straight forward.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed he had her stand on the ground in front of him.
He grabbed her brush and put the two hair ties she had given him on his wrist.
He brushed her hair and parted it as evenly as he could, trying to be gentle in the process.
Now time for the pig tails..
He pulled her hair back, trying to make it tight to it would stay.
...But he might have made it a little too tight.
He turned her around and realized he had made them way too tight.
Not only did her hair look like he had slicked it back with x4 strength hair gel, but it was so tight that her eyebrows had been stuck way up on her forehead.
He was quick to turn her back around, loosening the hair ties so she looks like a 3 year old again.
His face turned undeniably red as he told you what happened later that night, you light heartedly laughing at his misfortune.
Suna Rintaro: 
Suna had just gotten out of practice, and now he was on the way to his kids school. 
You and Suna had 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 
The youngest 2 had a doctor’s appointment earlier that day, which you had taken them too. Meaning Suna needed to pick the older 2 up from elementary school.
He had been listening to music, his music to be specific.
He had pulled into the parking lot, changing the playlist to a kid friendly one right before his children got in the car.
After they had told him about their days, and he had told about his, he switched back on the music.
It had been fine for a song.
Until he realized that he had a few songs qued.
The fun little song had just ended when the bass dropped, the color draining from his face as soon as the song started.
The mentioned song being “Big Bank” by YG, 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj of course~.
He was quick to turn the radio off, waiting until he could pull over, empty the que, and turn on kid friendly music.
He told the kids to ‘forget what they heard’ and he continued on his drive home.
Now, you’ve got to remember, his daughter is in kindergarten and his son is in 2nd grade, so they’re still kind of at that “monkey see, monkey do” age range.
Or rather, “monkey hear, monkey repeat.”
He thought it was gonna be okay, they were good kids so he figured telling them to forget they even heard it, they would let it go.
There was just one thing about his children that he didn’t account for.
As obedient and well behaved as his children were, they were also very curious.
That night at dinner they had all been sat down at the table, eating dinner and talking about their days. 
You had been feeding your infant son while Suna had been watching the 3 year old, the other 2 older children happily eating their food. Until...
“Hey mommy?” You looked at your daughter with a smile, “Yes baby?” She continued to eat her dinner, “What’s a b!tch?” Your eyes widened as your husband choked on his food, your baby laughing at the scene before him.
Hitting his chest and taking a sip of water Suna tried to catch his breath.
“Nezuko we don’t say that, where did you hear that?!” She tilted her head as she looked at you confused before turning to look at Suna, pointing a small finger at him.
“It was on the radio, daddy told us to ‘forget’ but I didn’t know what it meant...What does it mean?” You sent a glare towards your husband as you sighed.
After explaining to your daughter why it was bad to say those things and not to repeat everything she heard you cleaned up your kids and put them to bed.
...You had quite the conversation with your husband later that night.
Ushijima Wakatoshi: 
Ushijima had been on grocery duty this week since you had a meeting with a friend.
He had the Friday off, and since you weren’t home he took the kids with him.
Now, I would like you to know that you guys have 6 kids. S I X.
Growing up with no siblings and divorced parents, Ushijima wanted to make sure none of his kids were lonely.
Originally you guys had two, each kid had a buddy.
...but then you had a third, and you couldn’t just leave him alone...
so you had another...then another...
And now you guys have 6. But it’s okay cause you both love kids anyway~
He was doing his best, he truly was. He had his 2 youngest sitting in the little seat by the handle bar, 2 kids in the basket, 1 hanging onto the side and the oldest walking alongside him.
When they got to check out he had to take one of the kids out of the basket, so he opted for his 3rd oldest, his son Kazue, figuring he was older so it’d be a-okay.
He checked out his extensive amount of groceries before loading them up into his car, and his kids.
He pulled out of the grocery store parking lot and got on the road, his kids singing along to the radio and chatting amongst themselves.
They had been driving for 6 minutes when his oldest child, Ren, spoke up. “Uh, dad?” He hummed, briefly checking the rear view mirror before returning his gaze to the road. “When are we going back to get Kazue?” His face lost all color as his eyes widened.
As swiftly and safely as he could he pulled over to the side of the road, whipping around in his seat to take a head count. ‘1..2..3..4..5...oh sh-’ Turning back around he got back onto the road, taking the nearest u-turn and rushing back to the store. 
Unbuckling his kids from their carseats he hurried them back into the store, his oldest holding the 2nd borns hand, as he held all 3 of the younger ones in his arms.
He frantically entered the store, almost collapsing with relief when he saw his son sat at the customer service desk with the security guard, eating a lollipop before smiling when he saw his dad come to pick him up.
After giving proof that yes, he was his father, he took all of his kids back home after getting them some ice cream.
...this would be one conversation he was not excited to have with you....
Yahaba Shigeru: 
Yahaba and his 2 sons had been hanging out in the living room while you finished making some snacks in the kitchen.
Yahaba had been trying to set up a DVD player, you guys were going to watch some home-videos from your high school days but they were all on CD.
So, after borrowing one from his parents house, he set out to hook it up to the TV.
...Which was proving much more difficult then he first anticipated.
His two boys, Itsuki (6) and Hayato (8) were in there with him, ‘helping’ as they had called it.
Yahaba groaned as he sat back, a hand ruffling through his hair as he racked his brain to think of the problem.
You had finished preparing everything so you came in, with the food, and set it down on the coffee table.
You came up behind your husband, kneeling down behind him and placing your hands on his shoulders.
“How’s it going?” He sighed, leaning back into you.
“Well, I think I know what I need to do, I’m going to have to stick my hand back there though. Hey Hayato, can you help me out buddy?” The 8 year old excitedly nodded.
“Great, I need you to hold this flashlight here, hold it steady okay?” Hayato nodded with a ‘Yup!’ before Yahaba laid down on his side, maneuvering to where he could see the back of the TV.
All had been going well, he had just got it hooked up, and after having you test it, it worked!
He tried to get himself out from behind the TV, until a sharp edge caught his finger.
“Sh!t!” Your eyes widened, “Shigeru!” He hadn’t realized his slip up until he was out from behind the TV, faced directly with your glare.
“Kids, don’t say that.” His youngest blinked at him. “But why?”.
Kneeling down in front of him Yahaba tried to explain, but it was a little hard when you were glaring holes into the back of his head and his oldest was giggling at the situation.
*Iwaizumi Hajime: 
It was a weekend in summer vacation, and you and your husband were both off work.
This meant, you guys got a whole day to spend with your 3 boys, and one of the things you guys loved to do as a family was play games.
On this particular afternoon, your sons had chosen to play twister.
You were a little skeptical because you had 3 competitive, rambunctious boys. 
And an equally competitive rambunctious husband.
But after getting 4 identical pouts you couldn’t say no...
But, you elected to be the spinner. (..for your own safety)
“Left hand, green.” This put your middlest son in quite the predicament.
The only space available was the Green directly by his fathers hand, meaning he’d have to crawl under Iwaizumi.
“Okay Hajime, right hand, yellow.” Iwaizumi grimaced as he tried to reach it.
 This wasn’t good, the mat was slick, his hands were sweating-
“oOf” Before he could catch himself he had completely lost his balance, landing right on his son.
You gasped in horror as you saw the life get squeezed out of your 5 year old, scrambling from where you sat to check on your now pancaked son.
“...Hiro..are you okay..?” 
His small head shot up with a “I’m okay!” Before he, albeit wearily, stood up brushing off his godzilla t-shirt before continuing on with his life.
You took a deep breath as you sat back down, flashing a warning look towards your husband who sheepishly smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
And after checking that yes, your son really was okay, you guys continued on with some...safer games.
Futakuchi Kenji: 
You had left for a weekend visit to see your parents in your hometown, leaving your husband and Your 3 girls alone.
It was a friday night, so after having a less than healthy dinner, ice cream and a fair amount of other sweets, Futakuchi figured a movie before bed would be a good way to finish off the night.
He scrolled through netflix trying to find a movie he could watch with his girls.
“Daddy, can we watch snow white?!” Futakuchi looked down at his oldest, Hayami, before he shrugged. “Sure.”
He may be a guy, but he was not above watching princess movies if it meant his babies were happy. Besides, it was a disney movie, what bad could be in it!
Everything was going swell, until the witch showed up.
He felt the sick feeling of dread in his stomach as soon as he felt his middlest curl in tight to his side, his youngest hopping off of the couch and climbing into his lap.
...Disney SHOULD have been a safe bet, but with the way his 3 girls were clinging onto him for dear life, he probably should have previewed it first..
That night he put them to bed, reading them a quick story before giving them each a kiss on their forehead and tucking them into bed. 
15 minutes.
15 minutes of almost sleep when he heard you guys’ bedroom door creak open, 3 sets of little feet pad over to his side of the bed.
“...daddy..?” He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he opened them, brown eyes meeting the teary ones of his 3 children as they stood there. Speaking in as soft of a voice as he could he tried not to sound as tired as he knew he was.
“What is it munchkin?” His daughters all fidgeted where they stood, fiddling with the hems of their princess night gowns as they stood there.
“...We’re scared...can we sleep with you..?” Knowing he wouldn’t be able to get them to sleep like you could, and being incredibly tired himself he moved to the side, opening the covers and making room for all 3 of his princesses.
...This was going to be a long night for him.. 
Daishou Suguru: 
Daishou had been playing outside with his kids, his 2 year old son Kento and his 5 year old daughter Shizuko.
His son was sat on his shoulders, one of Daishou’s hands wrapped firmly around the boys ankles while the other pushed his daughter on the swing.
You had been inside getting dinner ready while they had been outside; smiling fondly at the smiles that were plastered on their faces.
When dinner had finished you walked to the sliding glass door, opening it and calling to them. “Dinners ready! Come inside and wash up so we can eat.” Your daughter and husband replied with ‘okay!’ as you went back to get plates. 
Slowing down the swing Daishou brought it to a stop so Skizuko could safely get off.
In all honesty, he was a good dad.
He was very mindful of his children and their surroundings, so they didn’t get hurt too often.
He was also very careful not to accidentally hurt them.
But accidents happen.
Walking to the back door, he, somehow either forgot or the thought didn’t register in his mind that his son was still perched on his shoulders.
He didn’t remember until a loud *whack!* was heard, and his sons cries sounded above him.
..He had tried going inside, through the door, with his son on his shoulders.
Bringing him down from his shoulders he quickly brought him inside to set him down on the counter, you almost screaming when you saw the bruise forming on his little forehead.
“Ah-wha-how- SUGURU! What happened?!”
Groaning Daishou gently put a small ice pack on his sons head, “...He whacked his head on the door frame...” You looked at him, “And how did he do that?”
Daishou sighed as he looked down, grimacing at the purple mark already present on his sons head.
...For the next few nights the couch became a good friend of his.
Numai Kazuma: 
Today was your son, Kazuya’s birthday. Today he would be turning 1.
Kazuya was the first, and so far only child you had with your husband of 3 years Kazuma Numai.
You and Numai were still learning how to be parents, and it had been an interesting journey to say the least, but you guys were doing good!
Your relatives and friends had just left, leaving you, Kazuma and your son.
It was pretty late so you started cleaning up in the kitchen and Numai started in the living room.
Kazuya had been pretty fussy, you both figuring he was tired, but when you tried to put him to sleep he wouldn’t even close his eyes.
So, deciding it’d be best to get it out of the way Numai held Kazuya as he was cleaning.
Things had been going just fine before Kazuya had reached out to grab at something on a nearby book shelf, causing the book shelf to start tipping over.
At that moment the only thing going through Numai’s mind was ‘stop the book shelf’, because at the moment, getting his son and him crushed by a bookshelf seemed like a very bad thing.
But what he hadn’t thought of was the fact that reflexively he had used both of his arms to stop said shelf (which didn’t even fall), the same two arms that had been holding his- “WAAAHH”
His eyes snapped down to the BABY he had just let go of, now crying on the floor.
You rushed into the living room, seeing your husband now cradling your still crying son, whispering apologies into his hair as he kissed the top of his head.
“Kazuma what happened?” 
He avoided eye contact. 
“...Kazuma...” Looking down he spoke.
“...I dropped him...”
...
“...you what?”
