“hi, it’s nice to meet you.”

warnings: none.

note: a good ole’ surprise fic that I wrote in a couple of hours since his video is now a viral TikTok sound 😂. support the page any way you can girlies 😘 like, comment and reblog. this was supposed to be less than a thousand words 🫠.

w.c: 1.2K

It has been two and a half hours since you arrived at the event.

For some reason, the promotors really wanted you to come so they went out of their way of booking you a flight from your city to Sacramento and booking you a very suite at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel. They had even offered to hire you a private driver but even, a woman who often didn’t say no to free things, declined the offer.

Instead, you had messaged some of your friends who were in the local area who had informed you that they were attending the event so you joined them. The event was a pretty successful one for the community. Celebrities and influencers alike would come from near and far to attend because of the safe environment it had cultured due to their strict rules. The event was a space for lovers and to find lovers, consent was heavily promoted and had security constantly surveying the space and the biggest thing you loved when the flyer was sent to you was the insistence to use your phone less and just be present in the moment.

The event, SweetOne, was working to bring back the clubbing culture of the old days with their own modern twist to it. An event where egos were left at the door and people met each other on a human level to connect. You were enticed by that (the $13,000 check for your promotion to your 8.9 million audience and appearance for the night was also a little push.)

So here you were, engrossed within the atmosphere as your body swayed to Body Party by Ciara as your friends cheered you on. The liquor had sunk deep into your veins and you were really letting loose for the first time in a long time. Your sultry black and gold mini halter dress sat on your curves, adding onto the sensuality of your impromptu performance. The bangs of your curled silk press fell over your eyes like a curtain as you sang along to the erotic lyrics.

“Woooo! You go girl!” Your friend, Nikki cheered you on as she recorded you. You turned around and held onto the bars that had been a supporting act to your dance. With your hands on either side of you, your hips swayed side to side.

“My body is calling you.” You sang as your eyes opened and by chance, met the ones that had been tracking your movements all night. Behind the brim of his cup, he was intently watching you with a dark glint in his eyes that amused you.

Your glossed lips curled into a smirk as you turned away from the handsome man and then you brought your performance to a close with your friends shouting for an encore.

“Next performance comes with a charge.” You winked at them as you stepped away from the edge of the section.

When you sat down, you couldn’t shake the vision of him watching you. He was a sight, himself. Chocolate brown skin with dark freckles scattered across his cheeks, a neatly trimmed anchor style beard sitting on the sharpest jawline you’d ever seen with your own eyes. It was too dim to see his haircut but you knew that his hair was short. You were also digging the way that was dressed. The light grey sweater snuggly fit around his long torso, highlighting his muscles.

The thing that captured your attention the most were his naturally pink tainted lips, that he seemed to lick very often. God, you were smitten and you had not shared one word with the man.

“Excuse me?” Your attention was called out of your thoughts and you snapped up to meet the eye contact of a server.

“Yes?” You enquired.

“The gentleman from across the room bought you this drink as a thank you for the performance.” The server said. Your cheeks warmly flushed before you scanned the room and met his eyes yet again. He slightly nodded his head and gave you a slight wink. You turned back to the server with a smile.

“Can you go back to the gentleman and tell him I’ll humbly accept his thanks if he brings the drink himself.”

The server smiled, nodded and then left. You eyeballed them as they walked across the room and back to him. They spoke, he bent down to get closer to hear the server speak. He was tall … even more interesting.

Then, he took the drink from the tray and began walking towards where you were. You took a deep breath as his height became more apparent.

“Hi.” The richness of his deep voice vibrated through you and settled in the pit of your stomach. You were fucked - you were a sucker for a good voice.

“Hi.” You breathlessly smiled up at him as you crossed your legs, putting your carved legs on display to his ravenous eyes.

“You said you wouldn’t accept this drink unless I brought it myself.”

“Mhm.” You nodded your head as you held eye contact, hoping to not let your attraction seep into your actions. “We’ve been tip-toeing around each other for most of the night. Someone had to make a move.”

He grinned and his white teeth shone at you. “I’m a little disheartened that it had to be you to make a move but I like your boldness. I like it a lot.”

“So, sit with me then.” You scooted a bit to the side, opening a space beside yourself. He placed the drink on the table in front of you and then sat down. That’s when you truly took in the beauty of this man. From his full yet neat eyebrows, his tapered sides and most importantly, just how pink his lips were up close.

“That was quite the performance you put.” He commented. And despite the shyness threatening to grip your senses, you rolled your eyes - downplaying the intention of your actions.

“It was nothing. I was just feeling the music that’s all.” You shrugged your shoulders as you reached for the drink he had purchased for you - a French 75.

“Your sentence seems to imply that you could do more than what you gave right now.” His eyebrow inquisitively raised up.

“Well, we’d need to at least be exclusive for that kind of performance.” You boldly stated as your body turned with your legs leaning towards his body. He let out a one syllable laugh as his head fell backwards. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. The length of his neck would be perfect beneath your fingers …

“So how do we get to that stage then?” He brought his head forward and turned to face you.

“Well, you can start by telling me your name.” He brought his hand forward, outreached for you to shake.

“Hi, I’m Keith. Nice to meet you.” You took his hand into yours and you couldn’t help but notice the difference and a shiver ran down your spine.

“Nice to meet you Keith. I’m YN.” You replied as you gazed upon his face. As he met your stare, the dark glint of desire was back with a touch of promise for more in them …

And your body and mind would be readily accepting of that.

I feel like every time there is a twitter post sharing information about the dangers of puberty blockers, the comment section is just full of men using every possible bad argument there is to support them. Sure, there are probably some women there as well, but they seem to be drowned by the number of men. Only other trans topic that 'cis men' seem to be this invested into is when there is a socially acceptable opportunity to abuse women aka 'terfs'.

I think it is suspicious as fuck that so many adult men are so supportive of stunting children's physical and psychological growth.

Just after I peaked, I argued with a man who refused to believe children could not consent to hormone blockers. He accused me of "infantilising children" and claimed "some children are more mature than it seems". Back then, I thought he was just an idiot, but now I wonder what he had on his hard drive.

I had breast reduction surgery like two weeks ago and I've been having some small yellow leaking with no pain or odor, and I've read it's supposed to be like liquified fat, but it's still kinda scary (Dr knows this happened but didn't really say anything about it—)

Did you experience anything similar?

Nope!! But it IS normal. Tons of the ppl in the breast surgery group I'm in have had the exact same thing! It's just drainage. I don't know if it's fat, or lymphatic fluid, but this is exactly what would be siphoning out of your boobs if you had drains put in! I didn't have drains, and I was sewn together pretty tight / I closed up fast, so I didn't have anyplace for it to drain, lol, my boobs just FILLED UP for like the first week before my body processed it all internally. anyway. you're all good!! it's not infected, if that's what you're worried about. You'll be going through a lot of gauze while this sorts itself out. EDIT: also congrats on your reduction!!!!! 🎉🎉 EDIT EDIT: If your doc didn't already give you Goo instructions, I was given a lot of goos to put on my incisions, and this is the one they gave me to use for the first 5 weeks. It might help you Close Up a little quicker!

#me talking like I'm an authority figure or educated HA but no--- I just have anecdotes from other ppl #+ what my surgeon told me and what came on my informed consent paperwork re: recovery expectations #sergle answers #The Goo thing is anecdotal because I can't prove that I wouldn't have healed the same without it #but like it did make me feel like the incisions were very Protected. and that's what I was instructed to use! #they more or less just told me that my incisions should be Protected at all times by something. for like the first 2 months #first 5 weeks it was That Goo. first hot minute the goo was accompanied by gauze bc I hated my incisions touching my bra #now I'm onto Scar Goo and silicone tape #I did mention the goo just bc leakage WHILE NORMAL and not a cause for concern can be keeping you open for longer.

you ever get angry at the fact that society broadly cares more about sports than the physical well-being of its members

#yes I am complaining about the inconvenience of being forced to see a doctor in person to continue receiving my hormones #and I am well aware of what a privilege that is compared to many of my trans siblings #but it's absolutely ridiculous how controlled T is here #I could get on birth control for a quarter of the price #birth control that caused a mental spiral so terrible it took six months to get back to normal after stopping the medication #but oh no #my informed consent isn't good enough now

i hate how prevalent the use of AI has become in the modding community especially for bg3, there's even mods that replace the narrator's voice with AI generated ones

it's never gonna reach the level of skyrim ai modding, which has gone so far that you can have ai conversations with npcs and ai can generate entire quests for you as you play, but it is definitely quite popular and it is disappointing.

unfortunately the amount of people who find ai to be a fascinating tool that changes the landscape of well... everything entirely will always outweigh people who understand how dangerous and irresponsible it is. the average view of it is 'wow this is amazing' and they will always outnumber us.

#fray.txt #ask #Anonymous #ai should be a fascinating tool is the issue #people either don't know or can't comprehend how unethical it is right now #i truly hope we can reach a point where laws demand ai be ethically trained on consented information #i don't advocate for the destruction of advancing technology - just how it is trained #i always dreamed of this shit as a kid #it's quite sad that the birth of it is so disappointing

i cannot yell enough about top not telling mew he slept in his bed and even without that knowledge mew tries not to have anything to do with him - that last scene was very much not a romantic gesture

#only friends #only friends the series #ofts #spoilers #i like the writing #you know that emotionally mew is not over top - very much the headspace of 'why did you fucker have to sleep with my friend you were other #wise perfect' (at least in his eyes) #and now he feels even more alienated by top's very selfish way to try and make it up to him #missing consent for one but also top sleeps better with other people so that's one more element of just selfish desire he's executed #idk whether mew assumes top slept in the same bed or whether he really has no idea but i am curious how he'll deal with the information #and chueam babe - i know you are fed up but you were the most sober person...the last thing you could have done for this friendgroup was to #check that mew and ray were not choking on sth and see that they make it through the night before leaving

I know the party hasn’t been great about having actual open conversations about everything happening to them but I feel like it’d be truly wild for there not to be a discussion at least between Fearne and Ashton before they dive into embuing one of them with the shard.

Fearne came off as mildly disinterested to unsettled and confused by the idea of embracing the shard, possibly because she doesn’t want to “impose” but also possibly because she genuinely hasn’t given it sincere consideration yet. Ashton seems almost equally as unsure about the situation and is just leaning into the idea that Rau’shan and Ka’mort having been two partners must mean they need two paired vessels, especially with the insistence of the rest of the party.

I’d really like to see those two unpack how they themselves are actually feeling and what they actually want.

Cuz at the end of the day I can absolutely see Fearne talking it out and deciding it IS what she wants, or maybe not something she wants but something she still feels she needs to do. But it also makes sense that she might not want to take the plunge or has her own opinions about how she thinks they should be going about it. Especially considering the fact that no matter who takes the shard there are serious risks and fundamental changes associated.

Basically I’m desperate to hear Fearne flesh out her thoughts on the situation. Since at this point it seems her mindset has been focused entirely on how to help the rest of the group. Which is very kind of her but also this is a serious life changing thing that will directly impact HER and she should get to process that and come to her own decision if she hasn’t already

#and like I said that decision could be ‘I just want to do what will be best for the group’ #and that’d be fine! but I feel like not letting her come to terms with what it may actually DO to her is a disservice to her! #informed consent baby lmao #critical role spoilers #c3e75 #I’d love to just assume she understands the hypothetical consequences but I also assumed she would’ve considered getting the shard #so now I’m terribly worried she’ll just ‘fuck it we ball’ her way through this 😭

my grandmother went and signed me up to over ten "job search sites" without my consent and all of them were scams. i am so fucking upset right now. i explained to her that you seriously cant go doing that and that all of it was information stealing scammy bullshit, and she hasn't texted back yet but im so. fucking. upset.

#crypt talk #shes computer illiterate generally and so naiive #she has been her entire life #but EVERY time something like this happens and I tell her how dangerous it is and get angry that my personal information is out there now #SHE LAUGHS! AND TELLS ME IM BEING PARANOID! #she made a post under my name on CRAIGSLIST to look for a roommate for me once?! #god i feel outright violated i am so upset. #she means well she really really does but she does not give a single FUCK about consent or other peoples requests #shes always been selfish and spoiled and as she gets older shes gotten way fucking worse #shes also off her meds which she *did herself without telling docs* so half of this could literally be mania #and shes told me flat out that if she doesn't like what someone says she just ignores it or blows them off #like fuck you fuck you fuck you #god!!!!!!

testosterone meeting complete?!?!?!?!???!!!

#it went well the doctor was so much better than any doctor i’ve met ever in my life #treated me like a human being?? was familiar with my pre-existing conditions?? #saw autism on my chart and just acknowledged it and moved on?? no ‘‘are you sure you’re trans you’re just a confused autistic kid’’ ??!! #i have an informed consent paper to look at now but it’s all stuff i’ve already researched #i have officially decided that T is more important to me than biological children so we got this #(i was already basically there but i had an anxiety spiral a couple months ago about freezing my eggs which i’ve confirmed was just anxiety #‘​‘just anxiety’’ i sound like a fucking evil doctor but like. intrusive-thoughts-anxiety vs thing-i-should-listen-to. i don’t want bio kids #the one thing i’m nervous about is my singing voice i wanna make sure i get some recordings in before my voice changes #cause my voice isn’t mine but i’ve sure worked hard on it shdhdf and it has a high pitched anxious quality to it that you can’t often find #shdhdhf i just feel like the voice i have now is more unique than wherever i’m gonna end up. and i really want to sound like my favorite cis #men musicians but i feel like my anxious songs just won’t hit the same if it sounds like some guy is singing them #so i’m gonna make some recordings within the next month to put out pre-T demo versions of my songs (real demos not what i’m always posting) #and then i’ll be ready. cause i want to sound like some weird shitty man SO BAD. please just let me be some off-key guy with voice cracks #TO BE CLEAR i would sure like to be a talented singer on testosterone. which has happened for one of my dearest friends and can probably #also happen for me. if i keep working on my voice all the time. BUT i would rather have a shitty low voice than a beautiful high one #which i did a lot of thinking about and grappling with since i’m a vocalist and it’s kind of really important to me #but half the male musicians i listen to can’t even hold a tune. so I CAN HANDLE IT #anyway!! i’m going to latin now!! and then i have work and then asexual club and then heading home and maybe laundry #i hope everybody has a good day and i love you dearly #me. my post. mine. #delete later #medical cw #(? ask to tag)

full meltdown because my orthodontist decided to grind down the tips of my teeth without asking and the texture of it is absolutely unbearable.

I didn't want him to grind down my teeth. I just wanted my braces off. I just wanted to be done dealing with him but no. now I have to deal with the most horrendous textures on my teeth and brand new tooth sensitivity that I hadn't had before.

#dental #im convinced #that this is a form of malpractice #or at least its a form of weaseling money out of clients #because informed consent #is a thing #that exists #and i literally cannot stand doing something #if i dont know all the details #and he didnt even say he was gonna do that #he just did it #and now im having a meltdown #full tears #full hand flapping #full snot running down my face #im so annoyed #im so frustrated #im overstimulated #and i want to rip all my teeth out #literally all

every day i am thankful to have gotten top surgery within 4 months of making appointments and paying just 15 dollars

#cw: suicide mention in tags #10 copay 5 dollars for the meds #i was on my dad's good insurance #i try to donate to ppl's top surgery funds when i can because i feel like its not fair that other ppl have to either wait- #half a decade or pay a shit ton of money or both #i dont know if my dysphoria wouldve Pushed me to ending my life but... #when experiencing dysphoria i could not imagine my life truly starting without top surgery #and my years wouldve been so so wasted #my chest right now feels like it's been with me forever. it's MY chest. truly. for the first time since I was 10 #i didn't wait 4 months for top surgery i waited 7 years. maybe longer if i count me wanting a breast reduction at age 10 too #i love you informed consent model

Boss: everyone has to give us a photo and a bio to put on the company website. The bio has to include something about what you do outside of work.

Me: that is personal information and I do not consent.

#told the boss I will never consent to having any personal information about me available to the public #and that I dont consent to this but assumed that never mattered #dont think hes very happy about that right now #doubt it will make a difference though

oh baby I knew it from the fuckin moment the addc was introduced that there’s just no damn way they DIDNT have some legally sketchy shit going on with the alzheimers/dementia patients and unethical clinical trials. I feel so vindicated right now

#im on chapter 9 of judgement #I know my SHIT when it comes to human experimentation and medical ethics #and criminal investigation in general frankly that’s a big reason I was so excited to play this game (I’ve taken college classes in this) #but yeah the moment the addc is introduced and we see the layout of the place and details like the gigantic dementia patient ward right next #to the research facility and such I was like mm….. that can’t be good #I was rambling to my friend during that like. yeah they could probably get away with doing basically whatever they want with these patients #because of all the conditions to research alzheimer’s and dementia make for some of the easiest to strip subjects of their autonomy #making informed consent and whatnot most likely not an issue and complaints about malpractice or what have you extremely easy to stifle #ie; if you are a patient there you are probably just straight up trapped. no one’s gonna listen to you you have no autonomy and- #the sad but true fact about the situation is that people don’t have the time/resources/capacity to be caretakers for their alzheimers/ #dementia-ridden loved ones so a place like this- a leading research/medical facility said to be on its way to finding a cure and changing #the world- would seem like the perfect place to send a loved one in need of full time care and trust that they will do nothing but good #so it’s a great setup to get patients who are likely to die as it is- who have no autonomy- who have no credibility- and have nowhere to go. #I couldn’t help but think about that like. immediately after seeing the ward #so. here we are. let’s see where this goes #judgement #judgment spoilers #rambling #I have a weird special interest sorta thing in medical ethics / human experimentation and I have a character who literally teaches a #class on the topic (and is a surgeon) so. that’s why I’m like. especially intrigued right now
