What do you call two people who use the rhythm method of birth control?
Mom and Dad
There has not been a single scientifically reviewed study using biometric markers to try to predict when two people may fuck and avoid a pregnancy.
It is all crap. Every claim of 90% or 99% effectiveness "when followed perfectly" is crap.
If you want to fuck and not have kids, then use condoms and pills. That has been studied, and even pills and condoms aren't perfect. Don't be fooled by the same criminals who want women and doctors to go to prison (or to death) for performing abortions.

I wanted to know how do you interpret Tanya's gender. After reading chapter 58 of the manga i got the impression that she is definitely trans coded, but maybe thats just me
Very good question.
To be honest, when I think too hard about Tanya’s gender (and sexuality, for that matter) it gives me brain worms. Fun brain worms, but brain worms nonetheless. I can’t explain it. Everything she’s got going on is complicated as shit there’s way too much to think about.
Like, she was a man, but now she's a girl. But at some points she says she still sees herself as a man internally so is this MtFtM? How does that work. And if she accepts she's a woman now, is that just MtF or do we add more letters. More importantly: Was Being X being Transphobic or being the Greatest Trans Ally of All Time with the free divinely issued sex change.
Ok ok, jokes aside. Confession: I actually do not keep up with the manga, so I had to go find the chapter and read it first. Having read it now though, I see what you mean.
The conversation she has with the Salaryman/herself in that chapter really does read as essentially saying “I’ve accepted who I am now.” It’s a far cry from a much earlier part of the manga I remember where she has a breakdown about being a man/people seeing her as a girl.
A friend of mine was actually showing me stuff from more recent chapters of the manga (don’t know which chapter tragically, but I know it’s not currently translated to English) and from what I gathered of it, Being X was showing Tanya a dream of being back in her past life and in response she basically demanded to go back to being Tanya immediately. It is definitely not just you, I 100% see the trans-coding you’re talking about.
As for my personal interpretation of her gender, I touched very briefly on it once before, but I honestly think she wouldn’t want to label herself as anything. At first, this is out of hesitance and not wanting to acknowledge that anything might be ““wrong”” or ““different”” about her. Later on it turns into character growth, more along the lines of, “I don’t need the label to define me, I just am what I am/like what I like. I don’t care about it any more than that.” Yes this is 100% projection on my part. No, I won’t apologize for it lmao.
Of course, that's entirely my own headcanon. I definitely am not saying it’s the only way to interpret her, it’s just my personal thoughts. Especially since my opinion is subject to change on a dime depending on what I’m reading/working on myself. The Tanya gender is, in fact, transient, shifting like water.
Like. A transfem Tanya fic that focuses on her adapting to life in her new world and coming to discover she doesn’t actually hate her new body? I’d totally read that. I’ve seen a few fics that include that as a part of the narrative and those scenes of acceptance were among my favorite parts.
I get the feeling this is the route that the manga is going as well. It’s a bit of a shame that we don't have those aforementioned scenes in the light novel (or at least, I don't remember them), but I don’t think that Carlo Zen really intended that to be the focus/narrative in the first place. And honestly, I also think that’s a good thing because it allows for so much more room for interpretation and headcanon around Tanya’s character.
Anyway, the other direction is also compelling to me. A transmasc Tanya fic where, after feeling uncomfortable and hating how feminine he looks for years and years, he finally goes ‘Fuck this, I’m gonna go back to being a man’? I would read the fuck out of that too.
Could also be paired with him finally choosing to defect, where they think about it like, ‘Well there’s nothing to hold me back now, right? I don’t have to maintain appearances anymore. Also, since I’m defecting this would be a great way to hide myself. They’d all be looking for the wrong person. Two birds with one stone, how efficient.’ …Now we’re getting to fic ideas I won’t ever get to so it’s time to move on I think.
Semi-related to the Trans Tanya Concept, this actually brings me to a bit of a lore/headcanon/idea/question I want to present to the public for opinions. In Norden, during the inciting battle of the war, Tanya uses magic to “dope up” so she could enhance her strength and reaction time and kill pain. I took this to mean she used a formula to synthesize the narcotics/adrenaline hormone/whatever else directly into herself, right?
Can you see where I’m going with this? As long as you know which hormones to make, how they’re made up, and what quantities you need… Well, don’t you think magic HRT is completely possible? Of course, as I'm not sure it makes sense for Salaryman to have known the detailed specifics about it from the modern world, it would require a lot of in-universe research/science advancement for someone to actually do that, but theoretically...
The magic system in this universe has so much potential to be explored, I’m fascinated by what you can theoretically do with it. Although, this is long and off-topic already I think this should be the end, lol.
I think I talked too much? I’m sorry, you were probably not expecting such an answer. I told you, Tanya gives me brain worms (mental illness).
I guess the TL;DR is this: that kid definitely ain’t cishet.
#marathehomosexual#ask#not a daily post#you could ask me a simple yes or no question and i would STILL find a way to make the answer multi-paragraph#i STILL have things to talk about. im just choosing to throw it in the tags now#LIKE. if synthesizing hormones is something completely possible in universe#is birth control possible as well? how about anti-depressants?#how far can we go with this? can you get addicted to these magic-synthetic chemicals/hormones/whatever?#say you need a little pick me up in the day. you give yourself a little boost in the happy-brain-chemicals (dopamine or whatever)#(im not a biologist or knowledgeable about most biology-related things honestly. please just go with it)#would a mages body start to rely on magic to produce it and stop creating it naturally anymore?#could this create a dependency? would you start to need to make more?#its insane. i feel insane#you ask me a simple question and i refuse to stop elaborating#rimu be quiet now

Say what you will about Martin's writing style (and I've said plenty) but I do think he's got the White Walkers' mythos worked out for a future book and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NICE IF THE SHOWRUNNERS HAD DONE 1/100TH OF THAT WORK SETTING THEM UP
Gus: I am mad all over again that there was absolutely zero explanation given as to why/how the Night King operates or how his powers work or why he chose now to attack or ANYTHING ELSE
Gus: on the plus side it means I get to make up a whole subplot that, not to brag, I'm comfortable saying is at least as good as anything D&D could've made up IF THEY HAD EVER EVEN BOTHERED
Gus: but like - okay so craster's infant sons get sacrificed to the Night King, who them magics them into White Walkers as babies
Mardia: Yep yep
Gus: so does that mean there's a white walker nursery
Mardia: Omg
Gus: do they have to change diapers
Mardia: LOOOOOOOL
Gus: is there a white walker daycare center
Gus: how does the night king TEACH his lil adopted monster babies
Gus: is there like storytime around the - well not fire
Gus: does the Night King remember what it was like to sit around a fire?
Gus: does he miss being a human and all his rage at the spell the Children of the Forest put on him to kill the First Men has curdled his brain?
Gus: what was he DOING for like 8 millennia, just hanging out?
Gus: did he get really good at ice fishing?
Gus: DO THEY EAT?
Gus: where the fuck do they get their snazzy outfits from
Gus: are there white walker tailors
Gus: what's the currency situation
Mardia: Lololololololol
Gus: I'M JUST SAYING
#game of thrones#game of thrones motherfuckers#is there a white walker barber? some of those dudes have cute lil' bobs that takes maintenance#how did they learn to ride horses if they were turned at birth#again is there some sort of montessori school for white walkers#also why does the Children of the Forests' (Children's? of the Forest?) spell work on ALL life?#like wouldn't you have gone to pretty great lengths to control scope creep on this zombie spell#there's literally a one-sentence explanation of 'we needed to defend ourselves from men' ok but the Night King kills BEARS#not to mention a pretty big dragon#IDK maybe it just the *general stuff* right now but I always disliked the Night King as an enemy#because it combines two pretty shitty tropes: 1) the remorseless implacable evil who can never be reasoned/empathized with#and 2) the evil that the persecuted minority sekretly devised themselves to disastrous ends#plus the show isn't smart enough to pick a lane#the night king could be just a force of nature like a tsunami#OR he could be an angry vengeful creature twisted by his own creation - an actual CHARACTER#instead he's just an ice nazi from some terrible video game of the early oughts who smirks as he kills people#anyway dm me for the 2k backstory on the creation of the Night King and his White Walkers#winky face

my luck is so bad it is legitimately just cruel. every day literally feels like i am being punished for every little decision i make. it’s almost hard to believe and yet somehow i’m too dumb to anticipate this…?
#i have previously been burned by usps coming an hour early and not picking up my packages#i woke up at 4:45 am this morning and got out the bed fr by 9. i knew i should have had my packages out as early as possible.#i want to get paid for the items im selling as soon as possible. i want to get a refund for my returns.#and i want these people to get their stuff#yesterday usps returned a package i had sent out to me so its already delayed#i was in the middle of packaging everything up when i noticed a package was delivered#i meant to check my email to see if they sent me that bullshit fucking email claiming to have picked up my packages when they didnt#but got distracted#so naturally. my dad leaves (the only person i could ask to drop packages off at the post office) and only then do i see that dumbass email#delivered an hour ago#i am so serious……..i cannot do this anymore#it is like this every single day#like okay. if the rest of my life is terrible. if i’m losing my mind from social isolation. if my parents quite honestly hate me.#if i have no future and no hope.#if the only interaction i can rely on is friendly coworkers and patrons at the library.#if i have to spend my days off with basically only myself and my dog to talk to.#can the little fucking things go my way? like…half of them? is that possible?#i’m not even asking to have a happy life i’m not asking to be loved i’m not asking to belong i’m not asking for a point to living#man i just want the tiniest of breaks. just. two days out the week? yeah? can i get my fucking packages sent out on time? l#can i get to work on time? with no stress? can i not look forward to eating a salad all day only for my dad to have eaten it?#can i have a normal menstrual cycle? can i stop having back pain? can i be a little comfortable? can i time my birth control correctly?#this is just so exhausting. how am i supposed to do this for years and years and years#my grandma is fucking 91#my great grandma died at like 93#i can’t even do another year of this man#i’m dreading my 25 birthday this september#i don’t know how i’m gonna make it to 30#let alone anything after that#my parents are in their 60s………it’s a nightmare to have to think about living that long

bo. bo. bo. listen. in your mind's eye. imagine some magical artifact suddenly makes hestia and tyler swap powers for one (1) season. imagine the absolute chaos that (could) WOULD unfold. imagine like. tyler wakes up and OH FUCK OH SHIT OH TITBALLS he's a dragon and he can straight up SMELL???? camilla's magic????? rip lance, accidentally gets some eldritch shit happening to him as hestia is freaking out. anyway. yeah. imagine. c h a o s :3
hed tell everyone their magic smells like tortellini with really wide eyes (even if it isnt true)
but like
telepathically
cuz i assume hed get that too
like this exactly like this
and itd go like this
Tyler: you smell like tortellini
Camilla: well, what kind? beef, parmesan and mozzarella, shrimp? it depends on wheth-
Camilla: did you just fucking speak.
hestia would be able to tell where magic is concentrated/where a magic person is within a half mile radius (it makes hide and seek with colleagues really boring)
shed also be able to directly suck someones energy source dry. like, until they pass out or die dry. idk if she had that before but awesome sauce
better hope tylers open to teaching hestia how to control and manipulate vampiric magic within a week otherwise he will get rly sick rly fast. thats an angst idea right there. tyler WOULD freak out and try to reverse the effects bcz without his vampiric magic hed die by the seasons end.
thats a rly long and complicated process and also half the reason he disappears every two or smth weeks for abt half the day.
but, cool idea! love it! i think itd be funny to see how they adapt to each other’s abilities, as vampiric magic is prone to instability. not sure abt all that dragonic shit but YER
#when i say instability i mean its far and few vampiric witches#especially older ones who made deals with reapers to get said powers#are prone to literally fucking DYING when the ‘magic awakening’ happens#the awakening being when a witch/wizard/wtv figures out they have these powers#BUT vampiric witches by BIRTH are less likely to have loose control/die when their magic awakening comes forth#its a hard magic ability to control#as its a bodies natural instinct to save itself when in times of need#so if your body says its low on energy then you best believe youre suckin it out of plants and life#its also a hell of a lot harder to master#as plants are easier to take energy from than animals#and animals are easier than humans/intelligent beings#monsters are a spectrum#slimes are easier than golems#yadda yadda#woo lore i love it#and also#tyler and his ex work together to keep each other alive via the use of their magic#so if tyler suddenly loses that before the deadline…#then his body will catch up with its age and hell get sick really quick#but#its okay!#theres gotta be smth to reverse the relics effects right?#or at least another vampiric/healing witch to help him out right#maybe one in the family#whos super anxious and scared and shy#(cough) ophelia (cough)#hes got backup plans.#LOVE THE IDEA GOAT#SUPER AWESOME#aand sorry for rambling in tags i love my ocs and all the lote that comes with them

What’s that one post that’s like ‘idk why people say birth control is so bad everyone I know irl that uses it life is improved by it and they don’t get side effects’ bc it’s true
#people getting bad side effects with hormonal birth control are the minority nowadays#because the doses are now lower than they used to be and sometimes w different chemicals most likely#and it’s basically just conservative propaganda wanting to scare people from using it#misha speaks#I know of literally one person who said they had a bad experience#meanwhile everyone else is like this is great incl myself this is my second month where not only have I had no cramping#which I’ve gone every month on birth control with no debilitating cramping like I used to have#but literally I take it consistently and I’ve not been getting a period whatsoever#I think fucking with your hormone levels so that you don’t need have a period is cool and sexy#I’m just thinking about how I’d be in such terrible pain for an entire day and pain meds wouldn’t even take the edge off#I could do it again obvs but I’m grateful for the flexibility now#the natural fallacy is real esp when you have what honestly amounts to a medical condition lol#‘actually it’s normal and natural that you’re in pain’ actually it’s just not life threatening that doesn’t mean it’s good.#everything I’ve heard about copper IUDs are like it is the devil. but also if you put it in correctly is very effective to kill sperm.#thinking of two of my friends who had a lingering painful experience getting an IUD put in#I’m like.. I would feel like shit if I was their partner.. also you continue to have ur period with an IUD right it just doesn’t seem worth

haunted by unintentional inconsistencies to the canon of Bram Stoker's Dracula that I wrote in my fanfiction that are too important to the story to change now that I only picked up because I've reread passages from the book a mindboggling amount of times because I'm trying to be canon-compliant except when I'm making the intention choice to change things
#i've known this for a while but a) I had mina lose her mom at age 8 and her father be away in the British Empire until he died as well#but she specifically has a line in the book that says I who knew neither father nor mother#so she should have been an orphan or abandoned at birth or something but it's too late#that is the backstory I have for her in my mind#and just now in the rat scene Van Helsing makes a point of being like these rats are not totally controlled by the Count#they flee from the terriers so they are beholden to their nature#and the ENTIRE CLIMAX OF MY STORY hinges on the idea that Dracula controls the wolves so that they will continue to attack#even with rifles#I cannot change this
