I turned to writing Dramione fanfiction because after Covid, I really struggled to watch TV, and I found out a lot of movies and shows were incredibly violent or cruel.

The problem that I’m facing right now, is that all of my works are somewhat intense, and it’s just as hard to write them as it is to watch these violent shows. But without the violence, the emotional impact isn’t as good in the fic.

I guess I’m just ranting because it’s sort of a catch 22. I’m very motivated to finish my work and give the audience something that they feel was worth their time… but writing is prompting me to take better mental care of myself and also seek care as well, because otherwise I just wouldn’t be able to create the story that I want.

I want to add that I do really like fluffy stories, but my brain just naturally wants to create darker fics. I am writing one that’s slightly fluffy, and it’s so hard for me to not turn up the intensity in the dark darkness.

Anyone else struggling with this?

The economy is absolute shit. So many people are struggling. So many people are losing jobs. It’s absolutely insane out there, and yet I’m getting people texting me that their uncle is worth $200 billion at this company or whatever… why are you bragging about your family’s money?

Is it just me, or does that seem really uncouth? Whatever happened to being classy and just shutting the fuck up about money and how much you earn?

For context, this was a friend of mine bragging about his uncle. And it was a completely unprompted shared piece of information. I just don’t understand why someone would bring that up. Everyone around us is literally bonding over how rough it is lately and how hard it is to get housing and how expensive groceries are and now he brings up this?! make it make sense

My Virgo sun/cancer moon partner is kind of dismissive? We’ve been together 10 years and I often feel like he doesn’t like me, but when I bring it up he says I’m being sensitive… I’m happy to work on something if I can/seems reasonable (I’m a Scorpio sun/cancer moon), but I just feel like I’m most the annoying person in the world to him. Is this just something I should get over and I’m being over sensitive?

It’s not urine and it’s not a period but it’s weird, watery, strange smell…. Anyone else?

I’m not sure why, but I get really crazy mood swings now that I never had before. For context, I’ve had PCOS of my life and very irregular periods, when I did have them, I ranged from melancholy to very deeply sad. I mentioned the PCOS because the irregularity of these instances had nothing to do with time of month or anything. They were super random, sometimes I wouldn’t have anything for nine months, sometimes twice in a month.

I thought postop that I wouldn’t get any symptoms that were similar or related to a period… but today I was just incredibly emotional and I just had similar feelings two times when I did have periods.

I had my surgery on April 2nd, and since healing up fairly well I notice that there’s a weird tugging sensation internally when i sit or “void”. Anyone else? Sometimes it’s fine but noticeable and other times it’s semi painful, like 3/10.

I was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer, it was pretty scary. I had to have everything removed relating to my reproduction system - cervix uterus fallopian tubes, and also the top part of my vaginal canal also had to be removed.

This is really rocked my perception of things and it has really impacted my identity. And I was driving around earlier just thinking about this and thinking about how absurd life is… and I made myself giggle by thinking “ now that the universe has given me cancer, I think the universe owes me bigger boobies”.

I’m not trying to downplay the seriousness of cancer my condition in anyway. It was just a silly thing that popped up in my head. But honestly, because of how strange I feel being inside a female body, but not having some of my female organs…. I have become a little bit of obsessed with my femininity and looking feminine. And yeah, I just wish the universe would give me bigger boobies next.
