If there's something I really love in life it's the elderly. I love old people and old people love me and that is a fact. I am a peepaw whisperer, I speak fluent grandma. So naturally I've been on a mission for some senior citizen Drarry to quench my never ending thirst.

Some of these fics do contain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Some of these fics do contain MCD in a form of dying of old age. They're all tagged accordingly, if in doubt check the tags.

These are all well under 10k, and hit me up with some more geriatric Drarry recs if you have some!

About Damn Time by @lumosatnight 👴 4,045 words

All Draco wants to do is eat his custard cup and nap in peace. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so, when the Flamel House for Experienced Wixen is overrun with Harry Potter and his idiot friends.

Attic Past by @piarelei 👴 500 words

Here are his knees. Noticeable and ugly. Harry sighs, doesn’t dare look at more of himself; the skin loose around his thighs and the wrinkles crowning his eyes. “I have ugly knees,” he tells the room. Draco, predictably, is already downstairs and doesn’t answer.

Brave by @mars-bar81 👴 8,403 words

Easier Than Falling Asleep by @gnarf 👴 1,029 words

After a long and happy life Harry is ready to return to Kings Cross. This time it's not Dumbledore, but his husband waiting for him there and they finally get to ride the Hogwarts Express together.

Dear Life by @drarryangels 👴 5,208 words

"Draco ran his fingers over the headstone at his feet and let his creaky knees fold underneath him to sit on the grass. When he was younger, he thought he’d never get old like this. With bad joints, white hair, and off trend clothes. Harry would’ve laughed at him if he could see Draco sitting in the dirt sniffling over his lost touch in the fashion industry." Or the story where Draco and Harry get to grow old together and be happy.

I Wouldn't Change a Thing by @rei382 👴 1,380 words

Two Old Coots by @sofyachy 👴 1,898 words

I’m starting to think that all 14 members of the Double Life server share about three brain cells between them. They’re supposed to be splitting them equally, but most of the time Cleo, Scott, and Grian just have a whole one each. Grian forgets he has his most of the time though and he has a tendency to drop it and leave it on the ground for hours at a time.

They all lent a quarter of a brain cell to Tango during Session 3 so he could pull off the Warden delivery service. Scott keeps giving his to Cleo for her to hold onto like a beer whenever Pearl shows up so he can match her energy. Grian dropped his on Scott’s head during the fishing rod game so he had the strength to lift both Etho and Joel

So dad took some of my wood blocks to the senior center to cut out the outlines for me (saves time carving if you cut off a bunch of wood you don't need). And not only did he bring me back my rough outlines, he also brought back this big block! GUESS WHAT WOOD IT IS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

Me:

Not only is it mahogany but once it's DONE it will be HAND-CARVED mahogany! Which means I can say this whenever I want:

#papa pasta loves me he brings me wood things he finds #he said the wood turning guy there couldn't do anything with the scrap so gave it to him to give to me #this is how 75% of my wood comes to me for carving #and now MAHOGANY JOKES

Denmark - where the museums are progressive enough to erase woman from their names but the royal couple know who can be exploited for a baby.

A statue of a naked, bearded man attempting to breastfeed an infant is drawing disapproval on social media for what some critics are calling female erasure. The nude figure, constructed in 2021 as a self-portrait by Aske Kreilgaard, is depicted with exposed male genitals and breasts to which he is holding a feeding baby.

Despite having been created to commemorate International Men’s Day, the statue has now been placed outside of The Gender Museum (KØN) in Aarhus, Denmark, which was previously known as the Women’s Museum (Kvindemuseet).

The facility was originally founded in 1982 to educate the public about women’s history, but in 2021 was renamed to reflect a shift in focus towards topics of gender and sexuality.

The Gender Museum justified the decision to change its name by claiming that gender roles had “changed significantly,” and that the emphasis of the museum would be focused to shift towards “freer expression” of all genders.

“A lot has happened in the relationship between the sexes since the Women’s Museum Association saw the light of day. Men’s gender roles and function in society have also changed significantly,” the museum’s website stated.

“The cultural heritage rests in places on old divisions between genders and roles, while the present expects freer expression of all genders. Just as women’s research at universities today is called gender research, the museum has followed the same development in its ongoing depiction and documentation of cultural history.”

The former Women’s Museum first began to incorporate elements of gender ideology into their education programs in 2016 and currently offers sex education for children in primary school “through a culture-historical and norm-critical view of sexuality and gender.”

“The societal norms that [children] experience on their own bodies are set against cultural history through objects from the history of sexual culture. In this way, we show the students that sex, gender roles and understandings of sexuality are rooted in our cultural history, and that ideas about gender, sexuality and sexual practices have changed over time,” reads the description of the course on the museum’s website.

The sculpture’s creator, Kreilgaard, has said in an interview with Fine Spinde that he titled the work Agape, a Greek word meaning “love.”

Just after the statue was erected, sculptor, photographer and writer Suste Bonnén sharply condemned the museum’s decision to commission and feature the piece in an article published by Kristeligt Dagblad titled, “Statue of breastfeeding man is a pedophile’s dream.”

“Isn’t Agape a pedophile’s dream? A grown naked man who enjoys putting a small child up to his nipple for him to suck is to me the epitome of what pedophiles dream of,” Bonnén writes. She further elaborates on how the area is an erogenous zone for both women and men, but highlights that whereas “the mother satisfies the child’s needs,” a man, being incapable of nursing, “only satisfies his own.”

Bonnén went on to describe the statue as flouting exploitation.

“I don’t see that the gender roles are being played with, as many others do. I see an exploitation of the little child, and a man playing with his own gratification. That is why I find it disturbing that both genders and audiences today welcome the message: The grown man can do whatever he wants with a small child, as long as we call it Agape.”

While the statue was erected outside of the museum in November of 2021, photos of it just began circulating in social media this week and prompting backlash. On Facebook, some Danish feminists noted that they had attempted to protest the name change of the museum in 2021, but found their concerns being ignored as museum officials reportedly felt shifting away from “women” and towards “gender inclusivity” was a better financial decision.

The photo of the statue that first prompted discussion on Twitter was posted by Michelle Uriarau of Mana Wāhine Kōrero, a Māori women’s group. Uriarau also referenced the name change at the museum, calling it “the erasure of women.”

Over one thousand people replied to Uriarau’s post, some of whom were expressing disbelief that the statue was even real. Many Twitter users were outraged at the symbolism, and the fact the statue was now housed outside of a former museum dedicated to women.

“The parading and exhibiting of the male sexual fetishist. Only women give birth and only women breastfeed NOT men,” user Elise Willows wrote beneath the photo.

“A nursing baby as the ultimate fetish accessory. Disgusting,” another tweeted.

Others in the replies referenced recent attempts to “neutralize” the language around motherhood and breastfeeding, something that has been shown to have a negative impact on maternal health outcomes. Some also referenced incidents involving trans-identified males attempting to breastfeed babies.

Last year, Reduxx reported on a Reddit post featuring photos of a trans-identified male user breastfeeding his wife’s newborn baby.

The post, titled “Oh my God I’m breastfeeding my daughter,” detailed how the user worked with a lactation consultant and his gender physician for several months prior to his female partner giving birth. Immediately following the baby’s birth, the user said he had begun breastfeeding the child to supplement formula feedings. The user also included a link to a photo gallery showing snapshots of himself “breastfeeding” the baby.

In 2018, an endocrinologist from Boston Medical Center claimed that breast feeding was an important method of validating a trans-identified male’s gender identity.

In an interview with The New Scientist, Dr. Joshua Safer said: “Many transgender women are looking to have as many of the experiences of non-transgender women as they can, so I can see this will be extremely popular.”

Reports of trans-identified males seeking support from lactation consultants have increased. On social media, many new and breastfeeding mothers have also stated they’ve noticed an increase in men attending breastfeeding groups.

According to the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces, of about 2,500 monuments nationwide, only 28 commemorate women. The nation’s lack of female-focused memorials was the subject of a 2022 sculpture project that highlighted the lack of visibility of women in public art.

Reduxx contacted the Gender Museum for comment, but did not received a response at the time of publication.

By Genevieve Gluck

Genevieve is the Co-Founder of Reduxx, and the outlet's Chief Investigative Journalist with a focused interest in pornography, sexual predators, and fetish subcultures. She is the creator of the podcast Women's Voices, which features news commentary and interviews regarding women's rights.

Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and his wife, Princess Carina, are expecting a baby. However, the princess lacks the usual baby bump. Instead, another woman is carrying her child.

Both the prince, who is a nephew of the Danish queen Margarethe and his wife are 54 years old. They had to wait almost 20 years before they could get married due to an inheritance rule from Gustav's grandfather Prince Gustav Albrecht, who was a Nazi, Daily Mail writes. Now, they are becoming parents in their fifties with the help of a surrogate mother.

Royal fans have already claimed that the baby is a boy and is due to be born in May. Official sources have not confirmed the announcement yet. According to a press release from Berleburg Castle, the residence of the royal couple in Germany, the baby is due in the summer. The prince and princess state their thanks in the same press release "to everyone who has helped to find a legal path to follow."

According to Kristeligt Dagblad, the baby will be the first royal child born via surrogacy. It is unknown whether the couple has paid the surrogate mother for her service (commercial surrogacy) or whether they found someone who offered to carry the baby altruistically, the Danish newspaper reports.

Debate

The royal surrogacy baby may renew the discussion about surrogacy in Denmark. Currently, it is legal to have a child via a surrogate mother, but there are quite a few requirements that have to be fulfilled. It is, for example, illegal to get help with insemination, and third parties may not communicate with the surrogate mother.

Leif Vestergaard Pedersen, chairman of the Danish Ethics Council, finds the rules too restrictive. Last January, the council proposed to make surrogacy a standard fertility treatment, Kristeligt Dagblad reports. At the same time, Vestergaard Pedersen warns against commercial surrogacy "because it can in many ways be equated with trade in children."

Age limit

Another concern about the royal baby is the age of its parents. Being 54 years old is a relatively high age for first-time parents, Kristeligt Dagblad states. However, Vestergaard Pedersen thinks this is not something the Ethical Council is concerned with. "There is an age limit in fertility treatment, probably primarily for the sake of the woman giving birth. Regarding more general considerations, parents' age is a consideration. Still, it is not something we have discussed or have immediate plans for", he says.

Fertility doctor Malene Tanderup Sørensen points out that there is no biological age barrier regarding surrogate parenthood. "However, the fact that they are older is one of the things that can help put the debate on surrogacy at the forefront."

Happiness

In any case, the royal family welcomes the baby with happiness. Lene Balleby, a spokesperson for the family, says that the royals "are very happy on behalf of the couple."

Historian and royal house commentator Lars Hovbakke Sørensenpoints out that the royal house is usually more conservative than the general population. However, he thinks the difficulties the royal couple overcame to get married "can help to create more understanding around their decision about surrogate motherhood."

They could have gotten married earlier but he would have lost his inheritance due to the will his Nazi grandfather left.

Currently thinking about Venti and creator who gets really cold. Even though Mondstadt is in the north, ever since Barbatos cleared the snow from the land with the winds it never got particularly cold, but it does get chilly in the winter. Recently, however, this winter has been quite lukewarm courtesy of a bard and his love for his god.

fr though I can totally see Venti going "Oh, my creator doesn't like the cold? Ok Mondstadt is warm now" and permanently changing the climate for them. The creator would probably spray him with water like a naughty cat and tell him he can't mess with people that much. In that case, he'd fall back onto plan b and insist that he must be with the creator at all times so he can surround them in a personal bubble of warm air whenever they're outside.

-Venti anon

Aww that's cute, I'm absolutely the type of person who can handle 95-100 degree weather easily but as soon as it's below like 65° I'm not going outside, so mood

But fr he'd do that and you would have to catch him on it, cause if you don't notice and tell him to cut it out, Mondstadt's not having a winter, and since there's already no season changes in game you're really gonna have to rely on intuition—

But Venti just adamantly following reader around, you just know he would be in the bubble with them, claim that it could only work if he was at the center of it, and then he gets to provide you even more warmth by hugging you at every given opportunity, so a win/win really

He'd probably be super paranoid during the colder winter months and wouldn't even want you outside though, bubble or no, you're staying right there by the fire in bed with him, wrapped in his cape or maybe even wings, doted on every second, provided warm meals and as much skin to skin contact as you'll allow (of course he uses the situation as an opportunity come on)

If you have to go outside then maybe take a Pyro vision holder with you, obviously he's not happy about it, but it's better to be safe than sorry if it becomes too cold to even think of being able to conjure a warm breeze

And of course Dragonspine is out of the question, anything you need from there other people can get, you're staying right here in temperate Mondstadt with him, no question about it

(he says that, but you absolutely know he would fold if you really really wanted to go, but not before a frankly insane amount of preparation and precautions)

It also gives him an excuse to bar you from Snezhnaya, no reason to go there and risk your discomfort, if you really want a change of scenery so bad he can take you to Sumeru and maybe Liyue

If we knew anything about the Pyro Archon this would be a perfect opportunity to include her cause they canonically don't like each other, or at least he doesn't like her, so it would be an all out no limits war on who gets to warm the creator up, Venti would fight tooth and nail to secure that spot from anyone, especially the people he dislikes

But mid-winter cuddle sessions, I love it, it's so soft, I might actually have to write that because I've been perpetually freezing for the past couple of days now that the temperature has started to go down in mid December might I add

#genshin impact #sagau #genshin venti #venti x reader #genshin x reader #brainrot #venti anon #It's been so cold here and i refuse to turn off my fan because air circulation #So now my hands are perpetually freezing when i write #last week it was a nice 75° high #It would be nice to have actual seasons though

Thinking more about D-16 and if course it's angst related

Of course of course

Exploring his dynamic with Terminus, a -pinch- of his Long Nights backstory, possibly including mnemosurgery stuff* in this, your typical living in the mines angst,

*you know a topic I like to think about is the possibility of TFP Megatron having been successfully shadowplayed, and that's part of why he turned out the way he did. It also is an interesting play on how he manages to get back into the revolutionary rhythm even though the Senate thought they snuffed that out.

I've thought similar for Oppy being shadowplayed as part of the becoming a Prime part (typically as a "shortly after he got the matrix" part on behalf of the Senate/Council)

helllll I've thought about BOTH Orion Pax and Megatronus having been shadowplayed as a plot to turn them against each other (did whoever do this plan for a war? Probably not. But did they intend to tear them away from each other and make it seem like it was those two's decision? Yes.)

I have also decided to blame the Quintessons in some plotlines and suggest "what if the Quintessons invented mnemosurgery and shadowplay?" After all I can entirely see how the necessary needles could be modified into a Quintesson. Which in hindsight is one hell of a horrific image.

Also also also the cortical patch and how that might relate to mnemosurgery! Because, from what I can see? There are similarities here. I've thought about Shockwave inventing it without Megatron's knowledge and upon showing it to Megs Meggsie flips the fuck out on him about it. Also usually coming with that scenario: alternate turn of events of the Plague episode with Megatron being on a pinpoint mission to figure out why the fuck they hooked him up to the mnemosurgery 2.0 table. I think a lot about that episode.

#this is why i love blending mtmte lore and tfp #we get more of miner!megs lore in mtmte but in aligned i feel like we focus more of his gladiator lore??#if that's any explanation??#maccadam #transformers #i think about a lot of things #considering how i legitimately/literally /gen think about transformers for 75% of the time I'm awake it's bound to happen #mnemosurgery #turned into just a big old idea fest about mnemosurgery and my own idw/tfp combo thoughts #tfp megatron #tfp megatronus #< same guy #tfp optimus prime #tfp orion pax #< also same guy #tfp shockwave #quintessons #terminus #riot rambles
