Is it normal for women to be so horrible on their periods or is it just a single person?

I am not a woman if you guessed, but my mother is and she is not the most emotionally mature person. I am also aware that I am not the person to speak on this but it's horrible.

I respect women, I really do, but why are women given a pass when they are acting horrible? is it individual with a particular person or does this occur with everyone when they go past 30? if you are going through a period, do others stay out of your way or do you wait for it to fizzle all over? how does one track a period?

I put up with constant abuse cuz of my mom's mood swings, she hits and slaps and when i push back or try to close the door she gets worse. mind you, before everything, she has a more level head though she is very prone to jumping to conclusions.

I am aware that I am a parasite she loves. she says the same to my sister. she is so indirect about everything and then detonates when we trigger something unknown. I dont have the capability to do mental gymnastics or walk on eggshells so I am a constant source of her ire. my sister is an expert but she isnt available.

Is it true that all your worst stuff gets stirred during your monthly circle? that you start getting false memories and old memories? cuz she can never let go of it.

sorry for airing my dirty laundry, i hung around this site sometimes so i am not an expert.

What if the feds, instead of taking the venlils knees and nose, lobotomized them instead?

Hear me out, what if instead of like, crippling them and basically given them a whole myriad of problems. What if the feds tone down their anger instincts or maybe , even their fear instincts? If the feds were smart enough to realize that fear and anger go hand in hand?

What would that be like? To me, I feel like the lessened agression would make the venlil more compliant and more "empathetic" while still holding their physical traits.

Now these vens would have reduced fear instincts mean they may be more reckless than other species like the dossurs or be batshit crazy.

I can imagine governor tarva being a loose Cannon or the venlil be a lot less scared of humans.

That's me. What about you?

A question regarding federation food

In the original plotline I don't think there were much mentions of cuisine (unless there were in the side stories and NOP 2).

Does the federation have fast food? The most we hear is of Skalga so are there any popular food brands? Or types of drinks like alcohol or fizzy drinks?

Are there food empires and franchises in the federation or??
How popular are human condiments like ketchup, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sweet chili, ranch, etc??? Peanut oil, coconut oil, milk based products like strawberry milk or ice cream or desserts?

Aside from strayu, what else would the feds have? I find it weird how the federation food is not diverse or same when there are planets with huge biodiversity (prolly gets cleared but like what about plants from other parts of the planet like colonies and stuff? Wouldn't they use new veggies and stuff from different worlds?)

What kind of seasonings are there in the federation or different planets??

Looking for a fic

Are there any fics that involve a depressed or mentally not put together non human protagonists? Like ghosts of ourselves or healing broken birds? Are there any more? Like any in which a depressed venlil or gojid or others is in a deep depression or has other issues and a human picks them up? Or the other way around in which a human learns how to live again ?

It can be as dark as you want, I just need more fics with a similar plotline like this.

Ghosts : Skalga—pilot (NoP x Ghosts CBS crossover)

Plot: a cash strapped venlil, Devon and his exchange partner, Petro inherits an old house in a far off area, in the very outskirts of dayside city. The house is filled with the ghosts of it's past, literally in fact. And all of them have one thing in common, they died on the premises and now haunt the place. Devon, in a freak accident, gets a heavy concussion and falls into a brief coma and wakes up, suddenly able to see ghosts and spirits. Now the duo has to deal with their new life from here onwards.

im taking a shot at writing so wish me luck! I'm editing this on mobile so...
Also I haven't read NOP2 so I don't know much about veln's term in office so give me a few corrections okay? Or the fact that of what happened to the other characters so there's that.
I know y'all are tired of venlil human romances and in the tv show, the main duo was a couple but I don't know how to write couples (never been in a relationship) and I'm not that keen on romances so they're very close friends.
Devon is also a bit unhinged here and has several underlying issues that I'm gonna chalk up to him having mental health for now. Also does anything happen in fanon or canon in 2139??

#######

Date: 21 September 2139
Memory transcription subject: Devon, currently screwed over by life.
Species: Venlil Skalgan

Dayside city held many, many wonders. It was the capital of Skalga and the home city of our protagonist, Devon.

Devon was quite the oddity.

He was someone whom you would describe as odd or aloof, he felt off, like there was something else going on. Those around him couldn't tell what of it though, they just knew he was not like the others. He wasn't the most emotional or the most sociable, often finding solace in solitude for prolonged periods of time and had delayed fear responses and fear instincts when it was needed. He was essentially not a person to other venlil. Thankfully that part of his life had come crashing down ever since he joined the exchange program.

The exchange program and the introduction of humans into the venlil prime aka Skalga as it was rightfully and originally called, was the turning point of his life. There were many turning points in his life but this particular one he held deeply to heart. It had been quite a while since he had engaged with his own species, he knew why they are they way they are but he just couldn't bring himself to face it, despite knowing he was one of them.

But that was not his concern! His concern right now was his friend Rico, who had taken him in with open arms and accepted him into his life. He had helped him put himself together and the infamous battle of earth was when Devon finally jumped out of his depression to save his human from a near breakdown. Which made him realize how much was at stake. Life was fleeting that way.

Currently, he was snuggled against his human, no, his friend's body on the couch of his dingy apartment. Rico's apartment's pipes had frozen over and to make matters worse, somebody had mysteriously brought in an infestation of mutated cockroaches (they survived the near-glassing of earth) that had compromised the entire apartment. The situation was so dire one of the tenants even called the exterminators to tackle the issue and the entire floor has been quarantined as of now.

Devon wasn't sleepy but Rico's body had a diurnal cycle so the latter needed it more than he did. His apartment was shitty if anyone were to ask him, but it was only home, one which he could afford with the job he had. He worked his arse off at his job as a useless engineer who was called only when bad ideas were scrapped or to repair the systems. He may as well be unemployed from how little they make him do his job. But he needed the money to stay afloat so there's nothing he could do of it.

He whittled one of his eyes around the room and grimaced. then he remembered the entirety of the federation was currently in an existential crisis and it seems it caught up to real estate as well, since, the pricing for apartments and reclamation style houses were growing in great demand due to the whole refugee situation involving cattle rescues and human refugees.

Then there was the Veln administration, who decided that humans and the meat eaters were a better subject to deal with, much to the ire of everyone who wanted him to solve Tarva's fuck-ups. (Not that he would blame Tarva of course, he wished Admiral Kam had ran for Governor.) He supposed he couldn't blame Veln either since he was far too confident in his ability to handle the job and got in a wee bit of a shock, or a reasonably large one once when he saw the absolute shitshow he inherited.

Gods, he hated his life, it wasn't bad since his friends could keep him afloat but that wasn't something he was keen on doing. He REALLY needed to get his AND Rico's life back together. If only someone mysteriously died and gave them their house right?

Date: 22 September 2139
Memory transcription subject: Rico, soon-to-be homeless.
Species: Homo Sapiens

After hours of calling up people and visiting houses, I was starting to consider living on a tent near the woods.

It's one of these days that I absolutely regret first contact. I fucking hate it here ... Ok maybe not that much, but I wish Skalga was more hospitable to live in. My sleep schedule is screwed up and I cant even think straight anymore.

The only thing that keeps me sane these days is my friend, Devon. I used to think the Venlil were a bunch of harmless lil critters. unfortunately that mindset didnt last for long when I realized I had to walk on eggshells for the rest of my life. Not only was I accommodating for people who thought courage was disease, they also wouldnt hesitate to shoot me and set me on fire if I looked at them wrong.

I really, really wished I could turn back time but what's happened has happened. I honestly have no idea why I'm even living, but then I remeber that there are others going through even worse shit than I am, so complaining is not gonna solve any of my problems.

Devon, bounced on his feet a bit when he used my datapad to scroll through real estate properties and postings. Ever since the cattle rescues started piling in, the refugee crisis took an even worse turn as many were claiming empty homes and a lot of budget was being drained into setting up shitty apartments and residential areas so that these victims could have some semblance of a life.

Overall, there were some silver lining though. If Tarva hadnt let us on the planet, Venlil Prime wouldve been in a worse state. The shadow caste debacle still made me reel though. Devon's unholy screech at the light of Skalgans being unveiled was ... unforgettable to say the least. (Something is telling me he isn't too put together, even for a venlil)

Though... Earth would've been intact if the UN didnt go along with everything. Let's not do this right now, I have more important things to do.

My thoughts were interrupted by the speep's startled bleat. "What?! — Huh!?"

he came closer to me, and held his holopad on speaker so I could hear it. the real estate agent grumbled again. "I said, you are the last living relative of Aunt Vrila and since she has no remaining kin, her assets and her properties will be transferred to you."

WHAT.

"I'll ... I'll give you a call later," dev mumbled. he cut the call.

"I ... ha-hi.. I INHERITED A BRAHKING MANSION!"

\\\

and that's it. sorry if this felt rushed, I'm sick and I am not in the mood to write or use up my creative juices and this draft has been sitting here for weeks.

Fic idea: ghosts (space edition)

The premise is that a cash strapped couple (venlil-human, human-human, venlil-venlil) inherits a mansion from a distant relative who is very rich. The couple plans to build a hotel out of that large manor But the mansion is haunted with ghosts of it's past inhabitants and visitors.

If anybody has watched Ghosts CBS (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11379026/) or Ghosts BBC (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8594324/) or even Ghosts Australia (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33400507/), then you'll know what I'm saying. I fully recommend these

The fanfic should explore venlil history from skslgan ghosts to venlil ghosts or even other ghosts like an arxur spirit or other species ghosts too.

The couple (mlw or mlm or wlw) should inherit or be granted a house from a distant relative or somebody who's their late friend. They are tight on money so they take it.

I have some ideas:
-a skalgan male warrior who has a penchant for headbutting, he's gay (like the British captain in the BBC version) and his ghost power is that he can influence the temperature of his surroundings based on mood. Was there before the property was build.
-a venlil tv star who's kinda high or has an alcohol problem, they may be a himbo or bimbo , or a unpleasant one whose ghost power is that when people walk through them, they get tipsy or high (like flower in the us version).
-an arxur ghost who's defective and was also a happy sort like kitty in UK version or peter in the us version, he tries to coordinate the ghosts and tries to bridge the gaps using his abysmal social skills.
-a lady of the house or a venlil heiress who owned the property, is snooty and died when either by suicide or by illness or by murder. She's sheltered and kinda unhinged. A bit old fashioned. (Like Hetty in the cbs version or Miranda in the Australian version)
-a venlil cultist who had some questionable ideas and morals and now haunts the property much to the chagrin of the other ghosts.
-a human ghost who was burnt or a venlil autistic kid who was incinerated on the property and haunted the property out of misplaced empathy (involves an arc where the ghosts slowly heal him or the living couple convinces him to love themsekf, resulting in them ascending or gaining a new ghost power.)

Or more, make up history or historical details or just have fun!

On the topic of federation colonies, what happened to them?

What exactly happened to federation colonies? I remember there were a lot of them, what happened? Did they eventually accept humanity too and the archives truth reveal or did they remain insular? A lot of stories involving humans on colonies tend to be rare.

Did the colonies undergo an overhaul? Did the people living in colonies ever have the truth or did many remain isolated ? I recall a lot of colonies voting for veln. Skalga is where I think the most changes occured and the most progress regarding non herbivorous people.

are there any fanfics that take place in colonies??

Fic idea: A Venlil who ate meat pre 2136

This fic idea came to me out of nowhere, I remember reading an old fic where this venlil ate meat and apparently had a curiosity or propensity towards it. They aren't psycho but I remember they ate a prey animal or something.

I want to read a fic of a predatory venlil like hunts animals and eats them or is not averse to cannibalism. And him be a goober about it as he discovers a whole cuisine filled with meat. I want the other venlil to react to him and also humans and arxur cuz wtf is going on?? It can be dark, light, slice of life or gory, idc.

We all know humans have weird interests and a couple of them get together, like furry or anime or weaponry or very niche interests. What if there was a meat eater convention and it was underground or operated illegally?? In my country, due to religious politics , people literally treat meat like it's taboo and have killed people for consuming beef and etc.

I'm aware that some people would eat meat as a taboo food or a one in a while kinda thing, do you think that concept exists in the federation? Of meat enthusiasts or meat eaters? I feel like if we were to be realistic, some areas would have way less PD facility jurisdiction while others have it to the extreme. And people would prolly have a lot more tolerance towards PD than what the main story implied.

It can literally be a member of any other species if you want.

I accidently stumbled across this community and now i cant look away

I've noticed from other muslim subreddits cuz i live in a muslim majority nation and i am not a muslim myself, i am not prejudiced and i am also not one of those people on the internet who think anything foreign or western is remotely bad.

this subreddit is the most jaw dropping subreddit I've ever came across, I scrolled through with an open mind and it seems i didnt know you could be an atheist and an extremist about it. I'm aware that religious people can be quite ridiculous and I personally don't hold religion on a divine or unshakeable level like a majority of people.

On one hand, i was seeing some real far right shit out there that europe or western media (ie North america and europe, and maybe India) and at the same time, i was also seeing supposed testimonies (I have no way of verifying them but a couple of them seem to be from real former muslims)
Are so many muslims such extreme about their beliefs? Muslims tend to have a lot more deen than other religions and many muslims are noticeably a lot more religious than members of other religions, since they tend to ask "is this haram?" to random things, and can get quite insane about stuff like inappropriate content or stuff that is midly risky like dating and stuff.

Is it really that bad? I live in a country that has islamic principles but is very modern and sophisticated aside from human rights violations (it is quite hyper-capitalist) and i think many muslims arent the MOST faithful people out there since many own dogs and date and stuff so... what is going on?

The amazon version of Hazbin is actually not bad yet i find it lacking and rushed sometimes. I like the show the way it is but appleTV seems to allow their shows to be fleshed out better.

would Hazbin be better with Apple or would it be worse?

I'm a dude, all my life I have felt nothing towards girls, I was well aware that they were humans and had their interests which is apparently a lot more revolutionary than you think.

Why do so many boys or men make girls out to be this separate species? Like they are some aliens that you need to explore or something big? The way they talk about these girls ranges from desire or hostility but one thing is common: they see girls as a concept.

Why is that? Why is a guy hanging out with a girl seen as an achievement? Why are girls made out to be this big deal? Like I approach and speak to girls just fine without any feelings, if I did have feelings , I would be pretty forthcoming about it or I would merely avoid or check to see if she's the right person. I may not be the straightest guy out there, but ... Why?

Don't these guys have mother's? Have sisters? Have grandmother's and families? Don't they know that women have their own stuff besides guys and love and sex?

From my perspective, it seems as though guys think a lot more about those more than girls do.

In the internet, the manosphere acts very hostile to womanhood and feminism, and they do nothing to bridge the gender divide, which is quite stark these days. They act as though having a girl is the biggest achievement in life and there is nothing else. Incels act as though a girl rejecting you is a death sentence and assume girls are a psychological experiment that manipulates you and plays with you for fun when the girl in question is doing pretty neutral stuff??
