Prompt: be afraid that you didn't try
Gwikki pls
Hi there, sweetie! I really hope you like this a lot!
Be Afraid That You Didn't Try
In 19th of October 1997, Gwen and Nikki were laying on the couch together watching a TV show called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Gwen wants to kiss Nikki for the past two years, but she is afraid that Nikki won't like her back because she is Nate AKA Nikki's old ex's little sister, especially with those deep brown eyes in which reminds Gwen of chocolate and the hidden secrets that Nikki has in her scent of raspberry and vanilla-scented perfume.
Nikki Velasco is in love with Gwen Runck so much that she can't stop thinking about Gwen's hazel green eyes, her mango-scented perfume and her pink and plum lips. Nikki is desperately waiting for Gwen to kiss her, but she is also afraid of getting hurt by her thanks to her ex AKA Nate also known as Gwen's older brother.
But today of all days, everything is going to be changed between the two of them forever when the moment when they touched each other's hands for the first time and looked into each other's eyes. Gwen said to Nikki so nervously "Hi Nikki, so our hands are touching each other's hand." "Yeah, it is so weird but cool at the same time." Nikki replied back to Gwen with a cheesy but nervous smile for Gwen's caramel-skinned hand grazing her olive-skinned hand like the sun and moon just collide into the space and explodes into a million pieces to make the stars shine bright.
Gwen's hazel green eyes are following Nikki's plum and pink lips in which Nikki's lips are covered in strawberry chapstick that Gwen observed when Nikki used to kiss Nate all of time before they decided to become friends indeed. And the truth is, Gwen can't stop imagining what is like to kiss Nikki's strawberry chapped pink and plump lips that Nikki always seems to have, and Nikki's deep brown eyes are also following Gwen's plum and light pink lips in which Gwen's lips are covered in mango chapstick that Nikki also observed when Gwen is not looking at her that she always puts on mango chapstick on her lips and that does make Nikki crave for mango more than she should be.
Nikki, having enough of the sexual tension between the two of them kissed Gwen's face with her soft and delicate olive-skinned hands and just kissed Gwen with her strawberry chapped pink and plum lips and god, does the mango chapstick that Gwen always wears in her lips tastes so good and refreshing to her. Gwen's heart was about to explode when Nikki kissed her first, and man, the strawberry chapstick that Nikki always has in her lips tastes so good and sweet to her and she felt like she is falling from heaven with Nikki's lips on her lips.
After a while of making out in the basement room, avoiding Bewitched for awhile, them cuddling each other in the couch already covered in mango and strawberry scented chapstick, Gwen said to Nikki flirtatiously "Strawberries are now my favorite flavor to taste." "And mango is equally delicious as well and it tasted so satisfying." Nikki flirted Gwen with a smirk on her face and feeling glad that she kissed Gwen first.

Double feature today since these two chapters are so short! I really can’t remember what I was thinking at the time; I’m usually rabid about writing chapters over 2k words long but I guess I was in a rush.
Fun fact: the dog mentioned was inspired by the dog a (late) old man in my old neighbourhood used to walk. At the time it felt like a good idea to include Peeks; Johnny had passed not too long before and seeing his wife walk the dog kind of... you know how it goes.
pairing: jane x named reader
word count: 1,390
rating: PG13
warnings: gun violence, very mild swear, let me know if there’s anything else!
previousnext
𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖎𝖝: 𝔉𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔰𝔦𝔞
As soon as you mention Peekaboo's scar, there's a gun. Jane takes several steps back. You scramble for the poor dog. She squirms and claws at your arms. Someone shrieks. You're not sure if you're aggravated or relieved that the crowd disperses.
"Give me my dog back." Gun waves around. Jesus christ what have you gotten yourself into.
"She's not your dog though..?" Hold Peekaboo a little closer. Thankfully she's stopped moving. Gives your arms a break.
"Craig, please, put the gun down," Mr Jane says from somewhere behind you. Not too sure what to think about his leaving you out in the open, either.
"No! No, I just want my dog back," Dog Show Serial Killer Craig demands. You can only shake your head. Staring down the barrel of a pistol isn't doing wonders for your backbone.
Pulls the hammer back on the pistol. You wonder for a second who the hell still walks around with a six shooter, but take a step back.
"Woah! Hey, you shoot at me, you're gonna shoot the dog!" Pull Peekaboo higher against your chest. Feels a little wrong to use a dog for your own safety, but whatever works, right? "You haven't killed any of the dogs yet, right? Why start now?" Trying not to sound too desperate. Probably failing horribly.
The gunshot causes more shrieking. You can't make most of it out from the ringing in your ears. Peekaboo promptly flips her shit, makes it nearly too hard to hold onto. Yelps when you squeeze. Well, maybe if she didn't wiggle like a god damn snake this wouldn't be a problem.
"Okay! Okay, please, just calm down!" Plead, crouch to the ground. The dog seems to be getting ideas. Give her a quick squeeze to calm her down. "Look, I'm not judging you, Craig. I don't understand but I can respect your decisions, alright? I'm not making fun of you." Sit down, cross your legs, curl yourself up around Peekaboo as much as you can.
Still feels like a dick move to turn the dog into the more prominent target but whatever keeps you alive long enough for whoever to save your ass.
"Just, Tommy's niece, right? You've seen her around probably. The black girl in the wheelchair? She's been seeing Peek for months since she can't get a dog herself. She's like a therapy dog to her, y'know?" Scratch Peekaboo under the chin, on the top of the head. Vaguely register the gun lowering.
You have no idea why a blatant lie about a girl needing a dog for therapy is working but you're going with it.
"She's not his niece," but Serial Killer Craig doesn't sound convinced by what he's saying.
You're halfway through going through a half assed explanation about how Tommy's first wife had an adopted step brother who had a kid about twenty years ago when Agent Lisbon—conveniently and magically—appears around the corner of a nearby car.
Shouts at Craig to drop the gun. Serial Killer Craig looks at her, mutters something. Turns back to you.
Oh fuck.
Shit.
You roll off to your right as he pulls the trigger. One gunshot is followed by a second, third. A fourth. The bullet grazes your left thigh and it burns. Don't let go of the dog. Turn to lie on your back, hold her against your chest and try to remember to breathe.
You aren't doing too well with the breathing. Someone off to your right declares Dog Show Killer Craig to be dead. You can't find it in yourself to be relieved. Your ears are still ringing.
Everything sucks.
Someone tries to pry Peekaboo from your arms. Screw your eyes shut, refuse to let go. Jane, to your left, quietly reassures you. Slowly uncurl your fingers from fur. Let go.
"Can you stand?"
Grit your teeth together, try to get yourself standing on one leg. Arms too stiff to hold your weight. Every limb shakes. You're carefully and slowly helped to your feet. Guided to the back of an ambulance. You expect to have the graze treated and be sent on your way, though you're informed you're being taken to the hospital anyways. You don't have it in you to protest.
Jane hops into the back just before you leave. Sits down, doesn't say a word. You grit your teeth in pain the rest of the way.
The hospital is wholly unnecessary and this is what you insist on saying every time someone asks you how you're feeling. You don't check yourself out.
Mr Jane vigilantly remains at your bedside, flips through a notebook. Doesn't look or speak to you for over an hour after you get a room. You're fine with that. You've been given pain killers, some kind of antianxiolytic. Besides the mild throbbing pain in your thigh, feeling pretty good about yourself.
Until you remember Serial Killer Craig's very dead face.
You try not to think about it.
Make an attempt at a nap. Wake up around two hours later, don't feel any better. A nurse pops in to check if you're awake.
"Sorry, the man that was here? Did he leave?"
The nurse smiles, politely. "Mister Jane left just about an hour ago. He left a note for you," unclips a note from the clipboard in her arm. "Said to call him when you felt up to it. How are you feeling?"
Better. Terrified, but better, is the conclusion you arrive at. the doctor who originally treated your wound comes by, runs through the process of after care with you, before eventually discharging you. But only after you very heavily insist.
Now that Dog Show Killer Craig is pretty much out of the picture, you see no problem going back to your apartment. Going to work in the morning... may be problematic. If you can spend the day behind the counter sitting down you figure you'll be fine.
You store the gauze, ointment and waterproof bandages under your bathroom sink. Make yourself a pot of coffee. Getting back to Yuba took far too long. By the time you can finally sit down and relax, it's nearly midnight.
This was not how you had envisioned spending your day.
You slowly sip at your cup of coffee, contemplate the note Jane had left you. Just the barely legible words "yellow tape?" and a phone number which you assume is his. You have no idea what that's supposed to mean.
Don’t turn on the TV. Or the radio. You assume that a serial killer being caught and gunned down at a dog show's going to make the news. You don't want to hear what anyone has to say about it. You especially don't want to know whether or not your name or involvement will be mentioned. You're not sure if you want it to or not. Schrodinger's feelings about murder solving involvement.
You play with your barely-charged phone. Save Jane's number in your contacts. Don't hit 'call'. It's late. You should be sleeping. You've been warned you might have nightmares. Definitely not looking forward to that.
Crack open all the windows in your small apartment. Turn on the TV to some soap opera for background noise. Grab your laptop, open a new Word file, and start writing.
He stands alone on the CBI rooftop when his phone dings with a message. He wholly expects to find Rigsby's drunk-texted him again. Sees a number he doesn't recognize, but knows the general locale of.
FROM: 530-555-2758
SUBJECT: (none)
03:14 AM
It's Skye. Not sure where to start. Yellow tape? What's that supposed to mean? Please reply when convenient.
(Also thank you for leaving your number I appreciate it)
Quickly types out a reply. Silently blesses the technology gods for the T9 function. (How would he ever be able to efficiently and quickly type otherwise?) Flips his phone closed, drums his fingers along the side for a bit. Heads back inside when he doesn't get a reply within five minutes. Assumes you sent the message in bed, halfway asleep. Probably feel embarrassed to message a complete stranger at three in the morning, and scared he might blow you off because of the time.
Smirks. Goes back inside to his desk and his cup of tea. Stares at the strip of yellow duct tape he stuck to the window.

Since T9S is returning I can now speak about these two
Something better happen between them!
Look, I'm not really expecting them to be endgame, but I hope the writers give material for future fanfictions.

💖 What made you start writing?
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
Meow!
Purrr purrr~
💖 What made you start writing?
I always liked making up stories, even when I was a kid. But they were more like bedtime stories for myself, I didn't think about writing them down or telling them to my friends.
It changed when I was about 10 or 12 years old. I was a big "The X-files" fan, I asked my parents to buy merch for me (mostly, posters, pins and notebooks), and one day I saw an "X-files" novel in the bookstore. I bought it, I read it and I thought: "Well, I can write my own X-files too!". And that was it)
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
I know I may sound like a schoolteacher now, but - please, mind your grammar. Your idea may be brilliant and you may catch your characters' personalities down to a T, but if you make lots of mistakes per one paragraph, miss commas or misspell words, it isn't good for your text. And don't trust T9, that fucker.
More universal advice is - read a lot. Read other people's fanfiction, read books and comics, read whatever genre you like. It's a great way to improve your writing and storytelling skills.
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
That scene in the chapter 6 of "Rainbow" when Dew examines his seemingly human reflection in a window glass and suddenly realizes that there is a girl behind the window who is watching him.
It's based on real events, btw.
And Dew's advice to Phantom on how to behave on stage.

Der Wind ist kalt, es stürmt und dunkelt zu früh! Doch hier wird gute Laune verbreitet, solange bis man sie wirklich fühlt!
Kommt rein, nehmt euch ein heißes Getränk und lasst eure Ohren und Herzen von uns beschallen.
Wir vertreiben den Herbst-Blues mit Gesprächen über kuschelige Tröste-Decken beim Schreiben, reden über selbst eingebildete Künstler-Attitüden und T9 nachts am Handy (wer kennt es nicht).
Hier noch ein Keks, denn jetzt wird es hart, wenn wir vom Morden und Wiederbeleben in Storys reden.
Und was hat das Ganze eigentlich mit Katzen zu tun??
Sagen wir euch. Auch ihr könnt eine Katze haben.
Wir sagen euch wie.
Die Tool-Tante packt wieder Empfehlungen aus, und Steffy spricht über den magischen "Zurück"-Button.
Macht die Tür zu, es zieht, und setzt euch zu uns in die warme Stube! (Aber nur solange, bis die Kirchenglocken wieder läuten).

After a long time, I've finally found some inspiration to write more T7S fanfiction, now the question is which should I write first?
All the situations where I imagine Jackie to wear the T-shirt Hyde gave her on her birthday in 5x16
I do consider T9S an AU but I want to write a fic where Jackie does have a son with Kelso and Jackie and Hyde meet during the T9S timeline and find their way back to each other
Or a fic where I write how J/H would have ended up together after season 7 (I won't consider s8 canon here, I've never watched it either so) and it would be my imagination of T9S

Hi! Hru? Just curious but do you take any drabble requests? Oh and what are your t7s and t9s (if you watched) ships?
Hiya there, I was (still) busy with my work and friends but I'm alright! Thank you for reaching out to me. I usually do not drabble or general requests since I’m uncertain about my writing skill. Someday, I would post the fanfic that I have been writing. (Psst- It's about That 70 Shows…)
To answer your question,
That's 70 Show's favorite ship:
Canon ship:
Jackie/Hyde
Kitty/Red
Brooke/Michael
Donna/Eric
Fez/Candy (I mean I’m ok with him dating girls or guys but I’m not engrossed in his dating life.)
Non-canon ship
Jackie/Eric
Jackie/Donna
Caroline/Eric (because reading fanfiction about them is damn good, how I can resist it-)
That's 90 Show’s favorite ship:
Canon ships:
Kitty/Red
Donna/Eric
Non-canon ships (hope they could make it happen):
Leia/Gwen
Gwen/Nikki (They give me a bizarre similar to Jackie/Hyde dynamic. Can't wait for the turn of season two out.)
I'm still waiting for more seasons and episodes of That's 90 shows. So I can conclude my favorite individual ship.
Fun facts: I loathe Jackie and Hyde together from the beginning even their first prom together. I do think they are so creepy and unnatural relationship because Hyde and Jackie are completely opposite. Burnout and princess. Stoner and cheerleader. ‘I don't care and don't trust the government’ guy and ‘Give me attention or I will scream’ girl. And Jackie and Kelso are my used to my favorites. Ew. Until they captured my heart moment when Hyde and Jackie slept together without sexual interaction after Jackie’s home started to downhill. I start to realize that Jackie and Hyde do have in lot common that I would expect it.
Thank you for your message! Hope this answers your question! 💕

This journalist got advanced access to That 90s Show, and couldn't even give it a good review…
Author's Note: It paywalls on desktop (try cached), but it works fine on mobile.
The author is certainly a casual (he stated that 20 years had passed between T7S and T9S, rather than 15/16). The first two-thirds of the article revolves around the premise and the previous show's success. But the last third of the article? Ouch.
"Unfortunately, That 90s Show much of the time suffers from a sensibility that suggests Disney Channel tween comedies of the early 2000s, programs that never meant made much of an effort, because they had a captive audience."
This is also known as Disney Channel vibes, albeit with what the author calls a "racier" tone. But both vibes inherently are at odds with one another, and although the actors this time around are far younger than their predecessors, their ages don't merit forcing a tween comedy. A teen/young adult comedy would've been far more appropriate, like its predecessor.
And if that isn't bad enough, the author also states that the jokes are weak, such as…
"When Leia, who has never been kissed, wonders whether she should change by corralling some 'rando' at the mall, her reconnaissance man Ozzie reports back that 'it's a total sausage fest!' Pause. "Hickory Farms is giving out free samples.'"
So, ouch. It's not even funny, and the author states that "it's not the worst joke in the show."
Top User Comments:
"In related news, Hollywood is out of creativity."
"Seems like they have all the boxes checked for race and sexual preference." (me: ah, diversity to distract from its mediocrity)
"'That 90s Show' already exists and is named 'Friends.'"
And my favorite…
"This sounds like bad fanfiction given a green light. No thank you."

Weekly Heads-Up and Results of the Questionnaire
Coming Up:
some NSFW-headcanon about Yamato ^^ Finally managed to get that one done >-< It will be posted next week on Saturday, as a little in-between content ^^
Also, I typed the angsty Obito one-shot up, which will be posted in two weeks on Saturday!
Working On:
A Kisame idea I had a while ago. Basically, he’s a lifeguard at the local lake and the reader visits with her nephew to cool down on a hot summer day. The reader has some weight insecurities, too, which will be interesting to write and incorporate ^^ I have no idea how long this will become, but knowing me, I won’t be able to stay beneath three chapters ^^’‘ SFW so far, but definitely has the potential to become NSFW as well ;D
Otherwise, not so much. I’m keeping it slow and relaxed at the moment, after I didn’t write for nearly one week and only typed up the one one-shot in the second one. But as you can see, I can’t stay down for too long ^^’‘
I have no idea when I will post something again after the Obito one-shot, but I will let you guys know as soon as I know. Thank you for all the support! :D
Now, to the Results of the questionnaire.
First, a big thanks to the 14 people who were so kind to answer my questions! It means a lot to me, as those answers allow me to see what I can focus on next ^^
Alright: here we go:
First question was, what you guys would like to see more of in the future. We have a clear winner for this one.
1) more fics with 13 votes
2) more personal stuff and little updates with 8 votes
2) tied with headcanons and scenarios with 8 votes
and 3) is a discord server with 5 votes.
more interaction with the tumblr crowd (4 votes), writing the requests (3 votes), Kakashi fics (1 vote) and whatever makes me happy (1 vote).
That already gave me a huge pointer on what to focus next. More fics are of course a no-brainer for me as well, but I honestly wouldn’t have guessed you would like to see/hear more from me on a personal level. I have kept it low in that regard because I honestly wasn’t sure if that would be even interesting, but from here on out I will try to give more personal updates as well :) Also, headcanons and scenarios could help me improve in keeping things short, so I will see what I can do in that regard. And, last but not least, the discord server ^^ I have a server in the works and will keep working away on it, plus finding people willing to mod and improve the server as well. When I’m halfway happy with the first version of the server, I will post an invite link ^^
The next question was: Apart from the usual suspects I write, do you wish to see other characters written by me?
And the answer was a very decisive and telling...
tie.
Together with the logical follow-up question: What other characters would you like to see written by me? The answers were:
Shisui (2 votes)
Kisame (1 vote)
Shikamaru (1 vote)
Genma (1 vote)
Itachi (2 votes)
and Akatsuki characters in general, for example Konan or Yahiko.
Also, anyone I’m comfortable with, whatever character I want or more Yamato and Kakashi were given as answers. Which is also very telling ;D
Given the fact that there are wishes (and, dare I say it, need) for other characters than the ones I currently write most, I will think about other ideas to incorporate the named characters soon ^^
Last question was for any other advice and hope for the future of the blog and my fanfiction writing in general. And what can I say except that you guys are way too nice to me T^T9 Literally all of you left a compliment. Literally all of you, and I’m being honest here, I was a bit choked up when I saw the amount of positivity there. Thank you all so much for your participation, and I’m so glad you all like my writing so much you want to help me become better.
That would be it! Really short and to the point ^^ Again, thank you all for the support and the love you have shown me recently, it means so much to me. Then, see you all next Saturday for some spicy NSFW-headcanon/scenario for Yamato ;D Stay safe and sound, you all! :D

johnny how does spine???
( warning: medical stuff )
( Don't be ableist or go "ew" or "oh no that is so sad that he's disabled" I'll eat you. )
For fanfiction info and whatever.
This info is subjective and not a matter of "you have to perceive Johnny this exact way." It's just a lil guide or starting point that might be helpful if you want to know more about Johnny's most-likely type of paraplegia.
There are a number of factors going on effecting the variables when it comes to gunshot wounds, spinal injury, and paralysis. So I'm gonna simplify it and get into basic stuff that doesn't require having a PhD or knowing firearm ballistics and all that.
(That being said, when it comes to writing about the experience of ableism, you need to be talking to disabled people and reading about their experiences. Remember that disabled people are a marginalized group.)
There's only so much we can figure out canonically. Spine injuries vary a lot, and then there are inconsistencies with Johnny's disability throughout the story. Araki likes to "not sweat the small stuff" (in his own words).
I like to just stick to the information we have in the beginning, since we get the most from there.
These are two excerpts from one of the first few chapters of the manga, showing approximately where in the spine Johnny was injured (just about above elbow level).
And here's a diagram showing the spinal column, and about what "above the elbow" means for Johnny's bodily functions. The T9 vertebrae is the closest to where that might be, so it can be assumed that Johnny's spine is effected from there-downward. Again, this varies depending on the person and multiple factors of the injury.
Digestive:
Johnny has no bowel control (which means it's a given he also has no urinary control). And according to how other characters say he has no sensation below the waist, either that's true or he has very minimal sensation.
Johnny is rich, so he can pay his medical bills. And his main dilemma in the story is that he's got a toxic self-ableist ego, so he probably would have gone for the prosthetic route, with colostomy surgery & catheters. As opposed to a bowel program or using diapers / other receptacles. Prosthetics also make more sense in context, since he's in a horse race and being chased by violent assholes, and so he wouldn't be able to visit a doctor or look after his hygiene just whenever.
A colostomy involves a hole (aka "stoma") being surgically made directly to the colon from the abdomen. A removable colostomy bag (aka "stoma bag") is attached to the hole, and is used as a receptacle for fecal matter to be emptied into automatically.
[ID: simple diagram showing the structure of colostomy surgery, & the location of the stoma & where the colostomy bag hangs. /end ID] [ID: simple stock photo showing a person slightly lifting up their shirt to show their colostomy bag, which is opaque, white flesh-tone color, & about the size of a large adult's winter mitten. /end ID]
This can make bowel movements easier for some paralyzed people as opposed to diapers or bowel programs, because emptying into a colostomy bag requires a lot less muscle function, is easier to change and clean, and needs less prep before bathing, showering, exercise, sex, sleep, etc.
Similarly, a catheter bypasses some of the distance and muscle control needed for urinating. A small, thin tube is inserted into the urethra and guided to the bladder. Urine automatically empties from the bladder, through the tube, and into a drainage bag, which is kept strapped to the person's thigh or calf, or secured to their wheelchair or underneath their bed.
[ID: simple diagram showing the structure of a catheter & thigh drainage bag, as well as what the extension to an overnight drainage bag might look like. /end ID] [ID: simple stock photo of an opaque white drainage bag cover, strapping the bag to the person's thigh. /end ID]
If someone uses a diaper, they'd simply change it whenever it's used, or otherwise whenever they're able to.
Because Johnny rides horses and does various dangerous, strenuous things in SBR, if using prosthetics, he might have his colostomy bag secured to his torso in some way (such as tying a piece of fabric around his torso). He might also have more padding to these prosthetics to protect them from being punctured, or worse, ripped out.
When he was shot, the bullet also may have perforated his intestines (along with his gallbladder and a kidney), which would have made a colostomy procedure necessary anyway. When he's shown in the hospital, he has a cloth wrapped around his pelvis, and acknowledges in distress that he's lost bowel and/or bladder control. So we can guess that his intestines are at least mostly intact.

Pain:
Johnny has the right idea about strapping his ankles up next to his saddle. People without paralysis tend not to realize just how heavy the human body is. With no muscle control in his legs, they would be way too heavy, and his back would be injured if he were to just let his legs dangle, especially while riding on horseback at high speeds. That would most definitely break his legs.
One thing about a transition between having muscle control and then being paralyzed is that previously non-paralyzed people might not understand right away that their paralyzed body parts still need to be taken care of. Even if those parts don't feel pain.
Johnny would likely have back, neck, and shoulder pain after being paralyzed, at least for a while. At least until he re-learns how to take care of his body from the waist down. Treating his legs like dead weight would put strain on the rest of his skeleton.

Sexual:
It's possible to experience orgasm with paralysis. There are types of non-genital orgasms, and then, strong or prolonged, repetitive stimulation to the errogenous zones of sensationless genitals can still cause orgasm that's felt from the waist-up (paralyzed folks may find the use of strong vibrators to be especially beneficial). Prostate stimulation may also be significantly more effective than genital stimulation.
Some people also have increased sensitivity from the waist-up if they're paralyzed from the waist-down (i.e. Johnny would feel notably more pain when injured, say, on his arm, than Gyro would).
A person can also have phantom sensations and experience pleasure & arousal from visual stimuli alone.
Sex with paralysis might need extra lubricant, since natural biological lubrication can be less prevalent with pelvic paralysis.
The way sexual stimulation feels to a paralyzed person is likely impossible for a non-paralyzed person to imagine. And it of course depends on the person and the unique way of how they experience sex in general.
Going by Johnny's personality, mainly with his loss of self-confidence, after his injury, he would likely only have sex with someone whom he trusts very deeply.
Reproductive:
With a uterus and viable ovaries, it's just as possible to get pregnant with pelvic paralysis as it is without. There can also still be pain during childbirth.
Viable testicles are a different story. It's very difficult to get someone pregnant when the person with testicles has pelvic paralysis. There would need to be help from a doctor. In context, Steel Ball Run doesn't stick to historical accuracy. But if it were, there's no way disability services around 1890 were existent enough for people with testicles to have medical help conceiving children when paralyzed at the pelvis.
If George is the biological child of both Johnny and Rina, it would make more logical and historical sense if Johnny had a uterus and was the one who gave birth to George, alongside Rina having testicles and being the one who impregnated Johnny. But that all depends on your headcanons, like what I said at the beginning of the post.
thank you for tuning in to "how johnny spine does" or something, goodnight lol
