I've had an ideal piercing setup for a while now. Ears first, since I know what I want. Usually piercing places don't do more than 3 piercings at a time, and you don't get deals or anything for getting more at once at most places, so price-wise, timing and order doesn't matter. Since I'm doing 4 more cartilage, I will do it in two separate trips: the first, I'll do both of the right ear ones, and the second I'll do the two in my left ear. Definitely want to try to get cartilage piercings on the same side at once, especially if you're a side-sleeper. I had my first cartilage piercings a year and a half ago, one on each side, and my right ear still occasionally acts up because I habitually sleep on that side, and continued to sleep on that side even when it needed a rest. I think it's healed a lot better now because I found good earrings to keep in, but it kept getting really irritated and had pretty bad bleeding a couple of times. I know the piercer recommended studs over rings (because the hoops can get caught on things), but I'd definitely do rings when I go again, since they seem to be gentler on my ears with how I sleep.
But yeah, I know a good piercer in my hometown, and they also do tattoos there, so maybe when the time comes, I'll get that done there as well.
I will vouch for faux septum rings though. You can get them for pretty cheap on Amazon at least, and while they can be a little loose feeling and you may have to readjust them, they do the job in the meantime.
I bought some off of amazon and they're too loose and I haven't figured out how to adjust them yet :( (but they do work great as faux lip rings until I figure out how to adjust them)
You gotta like… bend them back and put them in a larger part of the inside of your nose, then bend it back closed, and usually that holds pretty well. Depends what kind you have though. There are several different ones, but the one I'm talking about has two balls on the end that go on either side of the inside of your nose.
So I had a doctor's appt today.
And shit.
Well I have acid reflux for sure, I have been taking meds for that already, but it's only gotten worse. I have also been having these chest fluttery things, like, they take my breath away, and I told my doc about it, so I got an EKG.
She came into the room and was like "Welllllll, your heart palpitations are real alright!"
So apparently, I have such severe acid reflux that my stomach acid is coming into my chest and putting alot of pressure on my heart, and that's why my heart is screwy rn.
So we talked about medicine, because it's getting worse and the medication before was supposed to help, then she asked about my anxiety.
haha
So we deduced that all of this has stemmed from my anxiety, so quite literally, my anxiety is hurting me, like, actually hurting my health.
So I am prescribed Zoloft and Omeprazole and Therapy so I don't fucking die lol
(I won't die, the worst that can happen is I have a severe ulcer if I don't do something now)
Oh yeah, I got blood drawn to see if I had an ulcer, so we will see.
My mom was like "Yeah, school is really stressing him out."
Bithc you are stressing me out, miss ~throw up when I find out my son is gay~
^^^^^
My mom being like "why are you so depressed?"
Like it's you, mother.
precisely. my dad is the problem lately mostly. i mean- it's gotten better, i give them both props because they're beyond supportive of most things and i'm grateful for that. it's just that- my dad's so frustrating. he's hard headed and he'll start talking about something he knows i disagree with him about and it becomes an argument more than a discussion. like dude, why do you ask my opinion if you already know what it is and you're not gonna let me change your mind? W H Y
I'm sorry about all that, man. I know what it's like juggling different facets of your health and not being able to be healthy, particularly for family reasons. It's extremely frustrating and you might feel tied up. Take it easy, one thing at a time, whenever you can.
Thank you guys, I hope the medicine works because I am quite literally always in pain.
But yeah, I've finally been diagnosed and have finally gotten medicine so I think it'll get better.
Yeah! Good luck! I hope it works out okay.
I wish I could order supportive parents online. Like you know the nice people at Pride who will give hugs and tell you they're proud of you? I want that but always accesible.
Welp, I’m out. Can’t talk now but it went mostly well…? Better than expected

saaame-
it may have went well but my parents are far from that. like they love me, but there’s not a chance they’re showing up to my wedding
That's good at least. Better than expected it great. I know this has been weighing on your mind a lot for a long time.
Maybe considering coming out this summer myself. Or just not bothering hiding it anymore lmao.
I mean that's kind of what I am. I'm not necessarily out, but I don't hide it. Hell, I have a bunch of pride stuff in my room. If anyone asks, I'll tell them but I don't go around flaunting my sexuality.
I'm pretty open about it at school. It's just my family is the big home of phobic.
At least, they sure as hell aren't allies.
And yknow, I'm dating a MAN (read: amab enby), so I HAVE to be straight
Being out must be hard Ella. I'm glad it wasn't a total catasptrophy but you still deserve parents who'll recognize your loving relationships.
It's times like this where I'm glad my Christian raised mother supports me– I could be a lot worse off right now, especially with how I changed my sexuality and came out twice.
But coming out as a process is hard, but once you're out it's so reliving. Confidence booster too! Great job Ella. Welcome to the Lesbian Protection Squad (well you were already part of it but shhh)
Went to the mall today and got some pride pins and wristbands and i love them
Ugh guys it’s questioning Orion’s sexuality hours once more. Anyways I think I might be gay. Still totally aro, but like. Women are pretty from afar, I can appreciate pretty girls but not from an attraction standpoint. Guys, on the other hand? I wouldn’t say I like them but I would say that I would totally feel the hots for one. Anyways. Idk I’m not sure if I wanna change labels but women just,,,,, idk I just. Women are cool but not for me maybe? Or maybe not?
Ok soooo here's how my brains going right now:
- you wear dresses and skirts
- you were "born as a girl"
- you wear makeup
- you want a pretty name like Blossom
BUT
- you call yourself a guy
- you use he/they pronouns
- you like girls
- you hate girly things
so basically i'm questioning all of who I am for like the hundredth time even though I know that at the end of this discussion with myself i'll still call myself a demiboy and use he/they but I just hate when I get like this
Gender expression =/= gender, and pronouns =/= gender.
Whatever makes you feel the most comfy, my dude. You can mix things up however you'd like. It's your gender, you get to call all the shots.
I didn't realize the next season of BNHA was coming out omg
I watched it all like last summer I think and ughhhhh I didn't realize I missed watching it so much lmao
I really sit there like "Yes, these are my kids, and I'm very proud of them."
I FINALLY FINISHED MY 5000 WORD RESEARCH ESSAY
Congrats! We're proud of you :D
tf, i sound like a parent snjdanjd
