I’ve been feeling a little down/unwell this week & I have two hospital appointments next week (and my second vaccine) so I’ve been a little stressed which means I haven’t been posting. I did comfort watch the hobbit tonight and now I really want to try and build all the hobbit holes!

My period is kicking my ass worse than normal thanks to covid. Everything hurts and I’m just so tired.

Anyone want to send some good sick fics my way? Dear god I need some fluff right now. Any and all suggestions much appreciated.

if you get periods, imagine being on your period while dating your f/os. Which f/os would be cool, calm, and collected, knowing that this is part of life, but still helping to alleviate your pain as much as they can and which f/os would act like you’re bleeding out your eyes, freak out, buy as many pads/tampons/chocolate/advil as they can, and constantly ensure that you’re not actually dying?

Period tips for my AFAB kiddos

• A recipe for a chocolate mug cake that y'all will definitely need. 4 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 4 tbsp milk, 2 tbsp oil, ½ tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix it all together in a mug or ceramic bowl and microwave for 60-90 seconds. You can add chocolate chips, whip cream, ice cream, etc.
• I personally prefer tampons bc they feel more hygienic, but make sure you set a timer/alarm for 8 hours bc Toxic Shock Syndrome is b a d. Stay safe, kiddos
• Kisscartoon and Kissanime are websites where you can watch free cartoons or anime. It’s not super secure so don’t click on any adds or anything.

If you have bad cramps:

• How to make a heating pad: fill the foot of a long sock with rice, put a couple tablespoons of water inside and tie the sock at the ankle. Microwave it for a minute. You can reuse it, get it wet and microwave it everytime.
• Dark chocolate is soooo much better for you than milk chocolate.
• If your cramps get p bad, see if you can get midol or other cramp medication.
• If you can’t get that or you aren’t at home, focus on your breathing and breathe from your stomach, not your chest or shoulders
• Drink water and tea!!!!

If periods make you dysphoric:

• Remember! You have more testosterone in your body than when you aren’t menstruating
• Put on comfy pants and a big sweatshirt
• Do Not Bind. Wear a sport bra. Nike makes some good ones, if you can get a couple on sale, you’ll thank yourself. But any brand will work.
