Faja/Compression Masterpost
This will be a running list of all the compression garments and fajas I have personally bought and tried for post recovery. Nothing is sponsored so my opinions will be raw. In no particular order. The scores are based on being a few weeks post op. When I’m recovered I’ll make a different post.
Tumblr media
Maidenform Women's Wear-Your-Own-Bra Body Shaper, Firm Control Shapewear, Open-Bust Shaper
Size: medium
Ease of peeing: 2/10
Snatch ability: 10/10
I consider this maidenform to be the og shape wear. It gives you are gorgeous shape that accentuates all the right curves and snatches at the waist. This is not a recovery garment. You can wear this for a short period of time but do not sleep in it nor wear it 24/7 post recovery. It is very tight.
Overall score: 4/10
Tumblr media
Spanx thinstincts 2.0 open bust mid-thigh bodysuit
Size: small
Ease of peeing: 4/10
Snatch ability: 5/10
This spanx garment is okay. Not sure if it’s the best post recovery. I can see it being great once I’m recovered but peeking is hard and it left indentations on my sides.
Overall score: 5/10
Tumblr media
Leonisa shaper from macys
Size: medium
Ease of peeing: 10/10
Snatch ability: 5/10
This is my favorite shape wear for post recovery because there is a big whole on the bottom so peeing is very easy. This garment has a long torso so for me personally it rolled a bit on my back leaving creases. I ordered a black and nude size small so hopefully that’s my winner but I haven’t received them yet.
Overall score: 8/10

one of the things that stresses me out the most is that in order to get breast implants when your breasts are different sizes you have to stay at a regular weight for the rest of your life. i dont know what is the perfect weight for me and how i would see myself if i didnt have body dismorphia. so either i postpone my boob job, as im doing, or i decide that im never getting them done. the thing is that the idea of cutting my body doesnt seem that good. so maybe thats for the better

The bitches getting buccal fat removal are the same bitches who made fun of my pointy, skinny face.
This has nothing to do with their own desires and everything to do with following a trend.

(Any)Yandere x reader with immortality
(yandere! baker x gn! immortal reader)
he sees you come into his shop every day. sometimes with an old lady, sometimes with a young kid, but most of the time you're alone.
it's an every day type of thing to him. prepare the shop, display the goods, greet some customers and then feel his heart race as he sees you enter the store to get the same order of bread you've ordered since you first entered his shop.
it's the same every day. you come in, pay for your bread, smile at him then leave. nothing's changed. not even physical changes.
he wonders how you maintain your beauty, having served you delicious baked goodies since... ten years ago? you look as youthful as ever. not having aged a day since you started frequenting his bakery.
but who is he to judge? you're just a wonderful customer of his that he has a little crush on... right? until you weren't. right, of course you weren't. because tell him why he's seeing your name in these old books he found in his grandparent's diaries?
an ethereal being, one who never ages, they've stolen my heart forever more.
upon reading that line in his grandmother's diary, he immediately comes to a conclusion. geez, you were an immortal? no wonder you haven't aged a day since he first saw you. there's literally no other logical conclusion other than the fact that you couldn't die. well, other than maybe botox or plastic surgery. but even then people would still age! not like you where you look completely the same.
so he tries questioning you the next day. not upfront of course. he tries asking your age and date of birth... to which you simply smile and nod at him before leaving.
but he won't give up! he's not a loser like that! he must know! so he tries again and again, enquiring into your life and even giving up and just straight up asking about your status as an immortal. however, you always leave him hanging, giving him vague answers like "oh it's been a long time since then... my parents passed early on..."
he's getting more and more irritated as the days go by. and he's getting no younger too. plus, the fact that you have an effect on him, one where... he feels strangely compelled to obsess over your every move, doesn't help either.
can you blame him for taking such drastic measures like stalking you? you're not giving him the answers he wants so he'll just have to find out himself, right? maybe you're just teasing him and want him to work for the answer, right?!
that's what he tells himself at least. that way he can feel better about himself when he breaks into your house filled with antiques, adoring the way you saved portraits of yourself over the centuries... and even staining one with some... white fluid.
he swears it's not his fault. he just wants to find out more about you, you know? you're so enigmatic, so charming and alluring. how can you blame him for being obsessed with you?
so please don't be mad at him when you find yourself locked up in his room. he really only wants to find out more about you. if only you gave him more straightforward answers, then maybe this wouldn't have happened!
really, he only ever wanted to know more about you :( he swears on his life that he's not just some crazy stalker who's obsessed with everything you do!

vedic astrology symbols & motifs pt 3
1. Serpent symbolism
Tumblr media
Zendaya wearing a Roberto Cavalli dress with twin serpents on the back. She has her saturn & ketu in UBP.
She's also the ambassador for Bvlgari, a brand known for its iconic serpent motif. Fellow ambassador Priyanka Chopra also has serpent yoni (Rohini moon)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Julianne Moore, mrigashira moon wearing a dress featuring cobras
Tumblr media
Kendall Jenner, UBP moon wearing a dress with snake imagery
Tumblr media
Charlize Theron, ashlesha sun & mercury wearing a serpent pendant.
Tumblr media
Cardi B, mrigashira ketu as Medusa
Tumblr media
Rohini Mars, uma thurman as medusa in percy jackson
2. Punarvasu girls often play the Trophy Wife or the Dream Girl in media.
Tumblr media
Malin Ackerman (punarvasu moon) played the titular Trophy Wife in the sitcom of the same name
Tumblr media
Sofia Vergara (punarvasu sun & moon) plays Gloria Pritchett in modern family who is a classic example of a trophy wife.
Tumblr media
Kaley Cuoco (punarvasu moon) plays Penny in TBBT. Penny is a quintessential "dream girl" type character.
Tumblr media
Punarvasu moon Drew Barrymore plays a version of this role in nearly every romcom she's ever been in.
3. I have a soft spot for Virgo-Cancer couples. Virgo is considered the most masculine sign and Cancer is the most feminine sign. Sexual polarity is what drives a relationship and this could be why these couples are so fun to watch on screen and even irl.
Jay on the show, Modern Family is played by Ed O'Neill who is Purvaphalguni moon (tropical virgo) and Sofia Vergara, who plays his wife, has Punarvasu moon (tropical cancer).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ed O'Neill was on the show Married With Children, where Katey Sagal played his wife. She has Pushya moon and Punarvasu Ketu. Its interesting how his two most well known characters are both husbands on shows about families with wives played by Cancer girlies👀
Tumblr media
Chris Hemsworth is a Purvaphalguni sun and Uttaraphalguni moon and he is married to Elsa Pataky who is Punarvasu sun and Revati moon. Pisces is opposite to Virgo and opposite signs have insane chemistry.
I'll make a separate post about how movies often pair actors with opposite signs to play a couple and how this happens in real life as well (opposites attract 😏)
Tumblr media
Priyanka Chopra is a Punarvasu sun and Nick Jonas is a Uttaraphalguni sun and stellium.
Tumblr media
in Bridget Jones' Diary, Mark Darcy is played by Purvaphalguni sun Colin Firth and Bridget is played by Ashlesha moon Renee Zellwegger.
Tumblr media
The OG romcom pairing. Adam Sandler, Purvaphalguni sun and Drew Barrymore who is Punarvasu moon.
Tumblr media
Purvaphalguni sun, Hugh Grant and Pushya rising Julia Roberts in Notting Hill.
Tumblr media
another iconic romcom pairing, Purvaphalguni sun Richard Gere with Pushya rising Julia Roberts.
6. I find a connection between Ashlesha and plastic surgery. Ashlesha is the star of restriction and its tightly coiled by nature. These natives often express their severity through their self-presentation. On another note, these tropical Leo natives become sidereal Cancers and while Leos are known for being extremely self conscious and prone to fluctuating self esteem, adding a layer of Cancerian sensitivity makes things worse for them. Their self-image becomes extremely personal and they feel a need to master perfectionism. (in my perspective, switching to sidereal does not cancel out one's tropical signs, it adds another layer or texture to it. Leos are so sensitive and picky, why? because they are sidereal Cancers underneath the surface. some Cancers are very typically girly and domestic whereas others are not? because they're split between the gemini and cancer signs in sidereal)
Now a lot of celebs get work done, especially these days but I think there are some celebrities who are known for their plastic surgery and these are just a few off the top of my head.
Tumblr media
Megan Fox, ashlesha moon.
Tumblr media
Kylie Jenner, ashlesha sun
Tumblr media
Bella Hadid, ashlesha mars
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sridevi, ashlesha sun and stellium.
(she had already had some work done in the first pic) Sridevi is probably one of the first Indian actors to get plastic surgery back in the 70s/80s and was known for it.

@revenge-of-the-assbutt @firstaidspray @sachermorte thank u for enabling me NEWAY since I’ve been too dead to do any of my own hobbies here’s some thoughts on House & Co’s physical hobbies/lil crafts & such they do in the comfort of their home<3:
House: canonically does a ton of shit like piano/guitar/cooking/so on but In the spirit of him resisting change (At Times!) I think he’s gotten very good if not makes a fun time out of mending clothes🥺…. Didn’t wanna throw away his favorite shirts so it started w small hems+resizings until he looked up more tips online and get decorative w it. Pretty contrasting colors/patterns now randomly laid on his shirts and pants w only the careful eye(Cuddy+Wilson) to notice. If anyone cares
Wilson: gardening. Well as much one can do within his apartments/pretty nonplant friendly homes. He’s not a super greenthumb expert but it always gives him a lil confidence boost when he’s able to grow out spices and herbs & such to use in his cooking ♥️
Cuddy: she seems like a collage-making kind of girlie💗💗 no specific theme in em or anything but she still holds onto the potential self-aid of making vision boards and it’s relaxing for her to go thru magazines/etc + cut out whatever interests her enough to use. Rachel tries and cutely fails to help 💓💓💓
Chase: ironically enough for the prodigal son lol but . He genuinely seems like someone who enjoys spending time in silence/music doing puzzles w 1000+ pieces & such #DWEEB❤️. House once got him a 5000 piece puzzle of a kangaroo or w/e as a joke and he is Determined to complete it. In due time chase…
Foreman: the thought of Foreman crocheting is so dear to me….. he doesn’t rly tell anyone ab it but there’s a lot of half-finished + worn projects as proof around his home. #angsting it sorry but I think he took it up after his mom started deteriorating bc she crocheted too and it was a fonder reminder + sumn they could do together. One yr he gave the fellow ducklings scarves he made as Xmas gift. Not that he told him he made it tho😅#repressed
Cameron: I think she has a moderately sized zen garden on a table somewhere in her home she takes SERIOUS. Changes the lines/circles in the sand periodically, sees what new arrangement of rocks she can do etc etc. Girl that thing is meant to be relaxing!! also colorcodes/sticker-covers/etc her planner like a CHAMP.
Amber: she has the most well-detailed prettiest most concerning-when-read journal/diary everrrr. Dedicates a specific time in every day to it w specific pens of various colors. Some of the recounting even have lil doodles or if she takes the journal out w her she draws her view wherever she is<3 they’re literal chickenscratch but its still fun and fulfilling. It’s a bibleesque piece to Wilson’s Amber shrine btw
Thirteen: she’s hard to analyze for me soz 13heads I do love her #trust… nonetheless I bet she goes to hella dance classes. Partially for the exercise partially for the fun partially for the need to experience Life partially for the women. Heh. She’s rly into zumba, jazz, contemporary classes to be specific.
Taub: ok ok so remember when he did/bought pottery or w/e to convince his wife he was being faithful. I think he’d do it for real as a joke/alibi then be like wait…. This is kinda fun…? There’s no constraints to what he can make + the sculpting reminds him vaguely of plastic surgery work so he keeps it up.
Kutner: I think he draws + writes his own lil comics/zines 🫶 they’re mostly scifi or superhero and more than a lil inspired by his fave preexisting medias . He likes using the crazy cases he’s experienced w House as story inspo. Also he 4 sure runs dnd campaigns so well and fun. Btw
Masters: she’s a suckerrrr for trivia nights my lil nerd wife<3 but um anyway when she wants to relax she Really doesn’t want sumn that can become info overload so in free time she’ll make friendship bracelets, lil shapes/figures out of string, etc. Will someone please give this woman a full on loom to go cray with!!!!
Park: I can see it so clearly . I can see her lil handpainted warhammer and other tabletop game figures so perfectly in my head. She paints more than she actually plays(but she does !). God save you if you touch or tumble them.
Adams: I kinda DGAF about her sorry women… hmm there’s sumn compelling ab her doing blackout poetry plus occasionally full-on written when the inspo hits! started as a boredom thing in her job in the prison w whatever book she brought in then she kept on doing it w more and more written pieces she comes across.
I put so much time into this. Perhaps too much.😭feel free to gimme y’all’s thoughts on this/ur own ideas :3

2 months post op
What a mind fuck. 2 months post op. Tomorrow is my last day of physical therapy. I finally have my arm mobility restored! I even went back to Pilates the other day, I’m so sore but it’s a good sore. I have 3 more lymphatic drainage massages left then I’m done. TBH I don’t think they’ve really don’t anything for me post op. They’re important that first week to get the tumescent fluid out but if you are at your goal weight and barely swelled I don’t think it makes that big of difference. In the same breath I fit better into my faja than I did 2 weeks ago but I think that’s the vaser lipo working.
I have been lazy with my vitamins (what else is new?) it’s just I have too many. I start Invisalign on Tuesday so I’m hoping that’ll be the kick start to my 30 days no sugar. I just need a detox from it. Had ice cream today from a local place I used to be obsessed with and it just didn’t taste the same. It’s sad but I swear I don’t have those sugar cravings anymore. They used to be so intense that I would leave the house in the middle of the night to buy something sweet. Now I have a homemade chocolate covered banana slice and I’m good.
It’s so crazy looking at old photos and seeing how my natural body could never become my post surgical body. No amount of gym could give my body an hourglass figure. People get so mad that others can just pay for a perfect body lol
I need to call a medspa and start scheduling facial treatments. I need a chemical peel and a facial. Since I’m not longer spending money on physical therapy and massages I can focus on my face. I want to get spray tans as well but I can’t stand the transfer. What is the solution? I’m so pasty, specially my legs.
I stopped wearing shape wear under my faja and I feel soooooooo much better. I swear shape wear snatches you better than a faja. I don’t see myself spending $200+ on a faja ever again. Amazon has some really good ones if I need an extra unf underneath my body con dresses (yes that’s allllll I’m wearing this summer).
3 months post op I’ll be out of town. That’s when I’ll start wearing the faja for 12 hours. Probably only at night. I’ll be updating monthly from now on. I’m thinking about making a post about ab boards and foams for educational purposes.

How it Began? As a kid, until something bad happens all you know is innocence. Bounce back. Resilience. Words and thoughts your growing mind can’t get its synapses matured yet. And by bad, I mean it rocks you. You’re crying. You’re asking why for the first time poor thing it’s forever; you’re confused. You cannot process the magnitude of the incident and sometimes may even require Counseling to help guide you through it…NVR goes away.
And then.
I mean it’s sad, Right? Being born isn’t your introduction “hey!” realization and rationality Day, it’s your Birth Day. Period. Everyone’s glad you’re here. But you’re not going to know anything for a Long time. Everyone’s with me. Hopefully, b/c I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no babies. And Well, most people R glad you’ve come unless you’re..ok no not that rn.
BUT
First time you are hurt and are able to process and internalize that new feeling it’s like welcome to the jungle we got fun and games! And I remember that moment for me. It wasn’t when I smacked my head and got hit with bats and sliced my fingers open trying to whittle (Dad’s fault) to make a teepee which now I’m not sure should be a thing. Also tried to make a tornado bottle like those science fair ppl had. The ones that won. B/c they actually figured out how to puncture a hole in a plastic 2 liter top without stitches and having to explain what in the Hell you were doing (Heather u said you might be here so I know you’re with the gear Shift trauma rn)
For me until now it’s never been me physically hurt or incapable that’s defeating me—defeating—adjective : defeated—also adjective but untrue. This is different and I hate it b/c of that. I was born with vampire senses at least that’s what vampire diaries says. I feel everything so intensely that often it has trickled over to affecting me physically. I suppose a Good example is a panic attack but I’ve moved onto bigger things. I’ll be one of those ppl on ppl magazine whose ღ ended hearing bad News. This could get dark so I’ll Stop at bad News.
It’s funny -I have all this time. And most of the time I don’t enjoy the time but I’ve thought a lot of that time some about when I was a kid. Just free fallin’. Before I got the anxious bug again I was fine being serendipitous and sporadic. One time I put a Friends name in my calendar even tho I knew I knew the time. That stuff. So back to the carefree kid. Like, 8+ I have to clearest memories. I want to take a sec to say how sad that is!! There is no question that I was the kid with the most bandaids. There are pictures and I Love them. Pain didn’t really bother me. Not like this. And I’ve had a lot of very serious injuries and surgeries. Why can’t I be her?
It’s all about control.
Sometimes staying in a State of any negative, sad emotion or trying time becomes comfortable so it becomes routine. Safe. This can Go downhill quickly. But I promise something from my psych minor talks about this my sister would know. Anyways you gotta get out and can’t.
I was in this State Right before I got sick but I pulled myself out of that creepy Ass Edgar Allen poem pit and swing thing b/c I didn’t like it anymore. But this is a Choice promise. And there’s not statute of limitations on how Long it takes you or if you even get to make a Choice time which is already a Mountain.
I tend to be really open and candid. I would be a horrible Celebrity. First of all they’d only have pictures of me in sweatpants. But the openness isn’t for me or really anybody unless someone does see it and be seen. I never had that. And that’s no one’s fault. We didn’t have Smart phones which ironically give us cancer and often stupidity from the crap you read due to that algorithm. A few people reached out in my DM’s and on posts to just do this I guess and throw in a Basketball time to time.
I was stuck. And I had well…a very eye opening bad experience. I don’t think I’ll ever share that publicly. But I was terrified. Something came over me when I got to my car and it wasn’t a Voice it was a direction. To home. Safety. Familiar. Routine. I knew sooner than immediately that I was done. That’s it. There’s a pattern in this pattern. You see?
So all that is taken care of and now we will work on my eating Disorder. Anorexia, restrictive ED/exercise bulimia and body dysmorphia. You get it. Add this in with Addiction. Talk about stuck. All I can think of to compare it to is that scary book w/ a wizard and a whirlpool and IDEK how it ends but that was always enough for me to be done w/ that story. So, You’re bound to have one after losing 150 lbs over two and a half years and now can see your bones and muscles. Hey you’re confident again Good for you. This will not sustain. You lost weight probably all the wrong ways anyway but it worked. And you’re still in control. Things have changed and u know what to do to keep your skeleton up. One gust of wind or fainting and head stitches again having to hurry and tell your Apple Watch not to call the rescue’s and you’re an inch closer to hospitalization. Doin’ fine.
All I had Left was my eating Disorder to work on and I’d made so much progress. I’ll expand on this but you actually have to eat when you’re sick. I won’t thank COVID-19 for that tho. Sometimes u can follow all the rules and still get *BEEP, explicative!* sooner or later it would have risen. So that infamous Day I’d just finished my hour walk and like had been doing about to eat w/ my Parents. I remember it like it wasn’t a 26 month old toddler Day away. One sniff. Mom -please get COVID tested. I remember being annoyed. B/c I have taken all the precautions. Well so do a lot of people and things still happen OUT of our control. This became the problem. Two saddest things about that next few days is I made my Dad say Shit when I came up positive then gave it to my Mom. I cannot tell you the guilt I would be carrying had this been the other Way around.
I had lived my Addiction free Life and started to heal my ED rest of my Life. For 3 weeks. I felt so light. Felt so free. Brave and proud. More authentic. B/c being stuck and not being able to fix things yourself takes a lot of deleted Pride and bad bad bad experiences apparently. Wakey wakey. Why’s it gotta be that Way? At least it’s the Gentry way. I’d rather not keep that up.
Crushed. Pre healing I couldn’t Exercise for 2-4 hours daily. Wake up at 5 am still kinda dazed and do 100 push-up’s then 10lb weights, several sets. Not one thing from a video or trainer but i can see everything chiseled so gotta be doing something right. Then walk a mile and a half or 10000 steps before you even answer a call at work. All this to have your evening free. To see your ribs and sometimes ✔ the camera Cloud to make sure that 10 pound added weight doesn’t happen. Showering at lunch break. Oh it was a machine. And ppl knew. I’m very aware. I lean toward empathy as well.
I was very very sick. Different sick. And TBH as much of Hell this is and might forever be I’d rather this. Even a broken ღ that was your stupidity and blinders anyway. Although I cannot control this it’s not an intensity of emotion in those skinny Ass bones I can’t turn off anymore. Need size zero and xs. Ghastly. I can answer a question of would you rather in this Case. My ღ literally aches. It’s all of the omnipresent and then some. So intense and relentless. I could change my mind tomorrow. Right now.
This Pain is Physical. Not my fault. Wasn’t abused. Can’t control this either and I’d never wish it on all but one person but idk. I feel things that intensely. I’d be the X-Ray Report that says torn or damaged in about nine places after my ACL tear. The Report was an entire page LOL. That is not common I don’t think. Should’ve just said everything is bad take your 2nd of now Four ambulance trips with your Dad to the ER.
Let me be clear. This is very hard to put into words. It’s less I guess that I wouldn’t barter but sometimes you’re just like please give me that Pain instead, just for a while.
Right now I am comfortable in Pain. Isn’t that pathetic yet tragic? I meannn. Whole body Pain. It’s emotional too trust me but this it takes first. Imagine…the control freak. This is not acute. Feeling without Pain even temporarily is kinda scary and better word unsettling. You want to get better of course but your body has done such a 180 that it becomes what you’re worried about and what makes you nervous. It’s an evil Domino set mouse wheel. Let me also add that long-haul Covid and dysautonomia and pots all of them happened because my body had gotten so healthy again it went in overdrive to try to help me and then couldn’t stop. How nice. Kindly. I’ve learned things about my body and about what people can experience and I didn’t want to. I will never again scoff at someone for saying that they are debilitated because, they are in constant pain or too “tired”... They can’t be safely aware. I’m ashamed I ever thought that about people because there is no take a Tylenol and lay down. There is no taking a nap and you’ll wake up refreshed. That’s all bullshit at this point, and it hurts if you have to ever explain it because you can’t, like so many other things until it happens to you you don’t really know how you feel like a lot of things you can swear that you’ll react one way or the other but when something happens to your kid or someone you love (dare i say abortion as a topic) all the sudden it’s personal and you’re thinking something you never thought you would. Or not. The struggle is actually real.
There is a lot of trauma or some type of PTSD with being this sick for this long as well because you sit comfortably, you know exactly what’s going to happen. If then, then that some of which are terrifying I shake I can’t believe anyone has to deal with this and yet I’m not even one of the most serious cases if you can believe that. Then there’s the Gaslighting. Go to stone ridge and admit yourself for anxiety. NAH. Thankfully all of my docs have been first class with no doors blown off.
I want to say I’ve learned a lesson.. karma. I deserve this. I should’ve seen it coming. Let me be clear again. No one deserves this and yet we’re human and stuff still happens to good and bad people. losing control has been difficult, but I feel like I’ve learned so much about, literal heartache and pain that only someone who was going through the same thing can identify with. there aren’t words. I’m not trying to paint a picture of someone who is on oxygen and dying or taking chemo, but I think that you can hold sadness in several different ways without feeling guilty. you can own What you’re going through. it’s OK to be angry at God at anything and I’ve had to realize that and it’s taken a long time and I think I still am working on it because I think I’m over here. not famished. not taken hostage. not bombed. I have a bed to lay in when I feel bad. U can’t compare things like this and you shouldn’t anyway. I think in doing that it’s never productive anyway. I don’t like being helped which is ironic because I have some co dependencies still and yearning to stay close to what is familiar and home and safe I’ve had to put my or whatever aside and my confidence out the window because yes, you will gain weight not exercising that much but you literally can’t do things at first. I was using a cane to get to the bathroom. I would pant no exaggeration like a dog for at least an hour sometimes after walking 10 feet, ask my mom she was on the couch across from me and we’re both thinking what just happened. or you have to use spoons because you’re shaking so much. Don’t even try a fork w/ rice. or you’re so confused that you always have to have what I would say and interpreter at this point, and praise God that there r doctors surrounding me. I have needed so much help and I think part of accepting help is also allowing someone else to practice stewardship and I think somewhere possibly the Bible at some point you can’t continue to deny someone’s help because they have to have the experience of helping and we both know each feeling. Frankly need it sometimes there are things that not even Gentry will speak of that I’ve gone through but somehow I’m thinking wow Pooh bear was correct. I really am stronger than I seem and I thought that the last time I was in a bad place life is nuts except help, if you don’t have the hope or faith let your family hold it for you. It’s still there. You just can’t get it yet and I cringe to say it, but I have learned so much and whether I heal completely or not writing all this again is therapeutic one, but two when people can identify with someone else, it is a very intimate experience the kind of intensity I feel with everything. I tell people I don’t want to hear ‘you’re going to get better’ because you don’t know that. we can pray for it, but I’ve given prayer a hard time as I’m able to complain, not going to church routinely. Then again going to church is just the building. Sadly tru 4 2 many. a reflection of your yearning for community and a place of hope and routine. we know from the current state in this world that going in a church and coming back out there’s nothing Christian about it, but I’m thankful that I have been held. I’ve even asked. Dad has even had to hang onto me. I’ve been in a wheelchair. I’ve had a bed pan. things that would normally humiliate you. You get humbled immediately. You may have your arms and legs, but there will be times you will need to be pried off the floor, there will be times that your head stays on a cold marble kitchen counter for hours because you don’t have the strength to walk 20 steps to your bed. Covid sucks. it has ruined lives, marriages, people have gone bankrupt. People have died. Mistreated. People have had experiences much worse than mine, and they didn’t deserve it either even if they didn’t take precaution like I did which is part of why I was so frustrated with getting sick. and again i was at that point I had gotten healthy. So ofc, the more prone your body go into hyperdrive. Trying to heal you. and that’s still where I’m at.

Diary of a Homunculus, page 6
Text: She loves pointing out flaws. Her number one hobby is her beauty. Her second favorite hobby is the ugliness og others.
When we're out in public, she notices all the flaws of the women passing by, and she whispers in my ear exactly what they are.
Panel 2, Isabel: "Look at that woman, trying to hide her fat under a baggy blouse, it makes her look even fatter."
Panel 3, Isabel: "Her face is so old. Look at those jowls. Why do people let themselves go like that?"
Panel 4, Isabel: "I don't understand why she won't put some makeup on. She looks like a homeless crackhead."

So we know, since Claudia mentioned it in her diary, that if a vampire cuts their hair it just grows back to its original length but what if they DYE their hair? Does it just soak up the dye and return to its natural color or can you change that? Is it like putting on makeup?
Could Lestat have dyed his hair black in an emo rocker phase? What about Louis getting frosted tips in the 90s?
Can vampires get plastic surgery to change their faces or would their bodies just... reject any implants?
I have many very important questions

woo do-hwan . cis man . he/him ➶ I RECOGNISE THAT FACE ! that’s OBERON WHIMSIWICK , the THIRTY-THREE year old plastic surgeon from THE CAPITOL .  they’ve been in the capitol around THEIR ENTIRE LIFE , long enough to gain a reputation for being so PRAGMATIC & SELF-SERVING . they’re so lucky getting to live in the tribute center for the duration of the games! ( character ISN’T part of the uprising )
STATS
name: oberon whimsiwick birthday: sagittarius sun, aries moon, libra rising zodiac: gender: cis-man pronouns: he/him orientation: bisexual biromantic occupation: plastic surgeon district: capitol family: andromeda whimsiwick (mother), leonardo whimsiwick (father), hero whimsiwick (younger sister), cordelia whimsiwick (younger sister), mariana whimsiwick (younger sister) faceclaim: woo do hwan
PERSONALITY
positive traits: charismatic, persuasive, pragmatic, generous, curious, vivacious, romantic negative traits: self-serving, fickle, disconcerting, conceited, spoiled, corruptive moral alignment: neutral evil mbti: estp-a (the entrepreneur) enneagram: 8w7 (the nonconformist) temperament: sanguine-choleric deadly sin: gluttony heavenly virtue: diligence parallels: frank abagnale (catch me if you can), lily (black swan), damon salvatore (the vampire diaries), ferris bueller (ferris bueller’s day off)
BACKGROUND
you are born, and you are perfect. the firstborn heir to andromeda and leonardo whimsiwick– the precious princeling to a budding empire. the whimsiwicks are overwhelmingly new money. andromeda’s parents founded the company whimsiwick body modifications & plastic surgery corporation shortly before she’s born. when leonardo, a surgeon andromeda falls in love with during her residency, is brought into the picture, her parents have only one request of him– drop your name and become one of ours. 
and so, your birth becomes symbolic. the next generation of whimsiwicks to usher the family into further prosperity. you are doted upon as a child– spoiled rotten at every moment, your every desire fulfilled, and with few repercussions for your wrongdoings. when your sister is born, there is someone else for you to bother. she grows to despise you for your antics and your desire to break your parents' rules.
eventually, another sister arrives, followed by another sister. by this time, you’re eight and see less and less of your parents. you are passed off to nannies once you’re old enough, as are your sisters. school interested you little; you found it far too easy for your liking. you excel in advanced interests, but even this isn’t enough to keep you occupied.
 you cycle through various extracurriculars– dance, art, theater, music, volleyball, photography, writing, designing, and more over the years, but none can fully capture your attention. you spend your teen years searching for something that genuinely interests you– that thing that would ignite your heart and soul. 
amidst all of this, something darker lurks within you. beneath your charismatic demeanor is someone prone to bouts of cruelty. those moments when nothing seems to exist outside of yourself. and truthfully, those are the moments you feel most alive.
you begin attending parties in the capitol. you take to the varying crowds quickly. you are dynamic, moving through various circles, beloved wherever you go– accumulating friends, lovers, and everything in between. you eventually begin throwing parties of your own– parties that quickly become the talk of the town. 
it’s not until your parents direct an ultimatum your way that you begin cleaning up your act. finish medical school, or your trust fund is cut off. it’s a peculiar offer, but you know why they ask that of you– to maintain your familial image and all.
and so, you spend the majority of your time in school, and the remaining time chasing your every hedonistic desire. med-school comes easier to you than most– you’d already been a natural at school, and being supported by wealthy parents certainly takes off some of the pressure. 
you graduate from medical school, land your top choice residency hospital (a hefty donation from your family proves to be an excellent motivator), and complete your six years of residency. nowadays, you're meant to shadow your parents and learn the inner workings of the company for when the time eventually arrives for you to take over.
you do your best to avoid such subjects. in all honesty, you’ve never had any interest in taking over the company or much interest in the realm of surgery and body modification in general. still, you continue to make your family believe you're the golden boy while stalling all else related to your takeover.
FUN FACTS
with him not only being a partier and also someone who made it through a medical residency– oberon’s schedule tends to be as unpredictable as he is. sometimes he needs little to no sleep– other times he spends the entire day rejuvenating. 
oberon’s parties are well known across the capitol. they’re invite-only, with special drinks and substances explicitly provided for the occasion of his parties. he is the center of them all, a modern dionysus– constantly surrounded by his pleasure disciples.
oberon has three younger siblings: hero, cordelia, and mariana. he thinks hero is uptight, cordelia is cool (and perhaps too cool for her own good at times), and mariana cares about things too much. overall, he generally finds them tolerable– except when hero pesters him.
oberon is non-commital when it comes to anything outside of his pursuits. he’s a notoriously fickle lover, but known to show someone a good time with the time they do spend together.
oberon has a way of making people feel like they’re the only other person in the room with him. the way he sweeps up others in his fantasies, its easy to become intoxicated with such. 
still, there is something that isn’t quite right with him… in the way light never quite catches his eye. 
PLOT HOOKS
current and past lovers / jilted lovers / a partner in hedonism / people he met in the medical field / people that suspect something isn’t quite right with him / employees at his family’s corporation / enemies / people he grew bored of / that one person he obsesses over b/c they got away / siblings!!! (blurb about them here)

Another surgery for the same people that insist that there is no real difference men men and women when it comes to sports
https://thepostmillennial.com/shoulder-reduction-surgery-latest-trend-in-gender-affirming-care?fbclid=IwAR1pXSfsPaWplEieqpMFXlLY216270tm2khcxHHo9HAStbD6fORmpXzhkDM

Shoulder reduction surgery latest trend in 'gender affirming care'
Shoulder reduction is available for males who identify as women who wish to appear more feminine. The procedure involves a part of the clavicle bone being removed and the remaining ends being reconnected with either a metal plate or screw.
Tumblr media
In the world of "gender-affirming" medicine, there appears to be nothing that is off-limits. Gender surgeons will happily chop the healthy breasts off teenage girls, fashion cavities out of amputated penises, and sew vaginas shut while adding appendages constructed with the skin and flesh of a patient's forearm. But the list doesn't end there. Along with facial feminization surgery and trachea shaving, surgeons also offer shoulder width reduction.
Shoulder reduction surgery is available for males who identify as women who wish to have a more feminine appearance. According to one website offering the procedure, it involves a small part of the clavicle bone being removed and the remaining ends being reconnected with either a metal plate or an intramedullary screw.
Anyone unhappy with their shoulder width is encouraged to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon. Prospective clients are warned that clavicle shortening requires a lot of technical skill, and the function and mobility of the shoulder may be compromised if the surgery isn’t done well.
It takes on-average three months to recover from the surgery, including a two-week period of near-complete immobilization.
Journalist Brandon Showalter questioned the ethics of such a procedure, saying that surgeons should not be harming the body in this way, but this is, after all, a field of medicine that performs gender nullification surgeries to create a smooth, sexless appearance for those who identify as neither male nor female, as well as “bigenital” surgeries for individuals who want both sets of genitals as a way to affirm their gender identity. 
Tumblr media
Others raised concerns about the limitations of the surgeon's ability to modify the anatomy surrounding the bone.
"Shoulder width reduction surgery faces the same flaws as other elective reduction surgeries. A surgeon can lengthen or shorten a bone, but they cannot lengthen or shorten the accompanying anatomy -- muscles, nerves, blood vessels. This is a violation of a doctors first oath," they write.
Tumblr media
Another Twitter user pointed out how different this “civil rights movement” is compared to those of the past. 
“Face, Adam's apple, breast implants, ribs removed, hip implants, shoulders, penis and testes, toes cut down, hormones, testosterone blockers, puberty blockers--all to be the women they 'already are'. This doesn't look like an organic civil rights movement.”
Many who embark on the medical transition pathway find themselves seeking out one invasive procedure after another. For the young women who find themselves in this world, when testosterone doesn’t make them feel better, they fixate on a bilateral mastectomy as the solution to all their discomfort. But when the mastectomy fails to make them feel like men, many turn to phalloplasty as the answer, a surgical procedure with an extremely high complication rate.
In the documentary Detransition Diaries, Grace Lidinsky-Smith tells how after her mastectomy at age 23, she began to focus on the width of her hips. The surgery didn’t resolve her dysphoria, it just displaced it.Many activists call such body modification surgeries “life saving” and “medically necessary” as a way to ensure that the cost is covered by insurance. Earlier this week, an Ontario MPP tabled a Private Member’s Bill asking that facial feminization surgeries and trachea shaving be covered on the province’s health care plan calling them “life saving” despite the fact that the transition-or-suicide myth has been thoroughly debunked.

Personal post incoming weeoooo
Might.... do some more reading about PCOS being considered intersex (or ..intersex variation? Sorry im not familiar with terminology) because. Idk. Its.. neat? I know its not medically classified as such rn but i also know a growing amount of ppl W pcos consider themselves that way anyway bc fuck doctors dictating our lives when they barely understand our syndrome anyway.
And like, I remember the first time i heard about the idea that some people consider PCOS to be inherently related considered to be intersex it sort of knee-jerk distressed me a litttttlleeee bit. because i am a (afab/cis) woman and considering myself anything close to not-woman is distressing for me, and i blame this partly on the ""male pattern"" symptoms of PCOS, mostly hair growth. So i felt like by considering myself intersex it would like, invalidate my womanness in a way i am already stressed about,
But also i know like..... your sex or body or hormones or whatever dont actually dictate whether you are a woman and i KNOW that logically?? I have trans friends and loved ones for instances. but of course, you always want to exempt yourself from the positive things as if that cant possibly apply.
But yeah idk if its just me in this moment or if this is sort of coming out of a long while of little things percolating in my brain but i also Know i need to find self love and beauty in the body i have because i will Never be a skinny, hairless, high-heel wearing Standard BeautyTM type girl even tho i ame Very Femme. And i need to accept that i can be those things in the body i have because i cannot have another body even if i wanted plastic surgery or could afford/tolerate hair removal etc it's just not gonna happen that shits expensive and ..hmmmmmnnn.. anyway
And before you ask yes i need therapy lmao.... my former therapists and I have never addressed the body image issues because i always default to working on my anxiety but its like? Idk why i do that??
It almost doesnt make sense bc yes the anxiety is distressing but also it hasnt actually held me back that much, it hasnt prevented me from making friends bc i Have Friends, it hasnt prevented me from getting my Masters, moving several times, or having a job I like so i feel like if i do get therapy again I need to be way more intentional about what I want to work on OTHER than anxiety (its also like. Idk. Working on anxiety in ISOLATION from other stuff is also like?? Only ever gonna be so helpful. I wish holistic healthcare were actually possible imagine that)
Sorry 4 the rant and using tumblr as a diary but oh well. Its the several days between xmas and new years what else can i be doing

I have grown tired of the same old song and dance
People always act so hurt when they find out that I just view them as an audience...
But why would I view them as anything more when they just view me as a source of entertainment.
I give them something to look at, to gossip about.
I have these feelings in me of resentment when people are attracted to my image, even though I am responsible for creating my image myself.
I resent them for never bothering to look deeper.
They like my style, they like my body, they like how exciting I can be.
They like to psychoanalyze me, they study me.
They talk about me as if I am a medical subject to them even though they only took one psychology class in college.
I'm just so interesting, a character. They want to know what I'm doing. They want to see what I look like. Constantly changing. Hair dye, plastic surgery, rapid weight loss and weight gain.
I'm truly a spectacle to many people, I'm sure.
They act so offended that I view them all as nothing but spectators
I am not thankful for your interest
I am not flattered that you find me exciting, I'm acting manic and I only socialize when I'm binge drinking
You think I'm pretty? I want to customize myself like a video game character. I don't care if you like it, it's my character anyway so all that matters is that I look how I want to look
I am not impressed by praise to my outward appearance, despite how it may seem that I dress for attention.
Sometimes I think I am subconsciously setting a trap. I am always generating a self fulfilling prophecy in which I purposefully doll myself up to stand out, only to anger myself when people only approach me when I look visually appealing.
Over time, I have become more private. I don't post my thoughts publicly as much anymore. I don't tell many people any information about what is going on in my life anymore. (this is an anonymous diary so this does not count 🤪)
When I used to post about that stuff on Facebook, I think it made a lot of people feel like they knew me.
They really didn't. I'm not going to give that to people around me anymore.
They thought they were my friends, but they were just an audience to someone they don't even really know.
But is it really my fault if people take shallow slivers of information about me and convince themselves that they actually know me just from that?
No one was hitting me up
No one invited me unless it was a fucking party. Where I can be a spectacle once again.
No invites one on one.
No small get-togethers.
No deep conversations.
Me oversharing when I binge drink doesn't replace laying in bed and talking about our dreams until 4am.
None of them were fucking friends and they deserve to be reduced to numbers.
Well I don't even want them as numbers anymore.
I don't want empty validation. I don't want to be "known" by people I don't even care about anymore.
I am putting locks up. I'm setting passwords. You have to win my trust and my attention, or I won't give it to you at all.
I am probably regarded as self-absorbed. The "audience" may cry out about how I shouldn't isolate myself from them...
Or what? You'll have to find someone else to be your case study?
People who want to get along with as many people as possible are worse than people who are ornery and asocial.
I despise people who value networking and popularity over finding a few people in this world who are actually deeply special to them.
A bunch of shallow connections are worthless to me.
I know I have to play nice in some settings, and just be a little friendly. Just be polite. But it drains me to pretend. It drains me so much
I find more comfort being alone or with my partner. Being with him has the comfort of being alone without feeling lonely.
If I were to die and only a few people knew me well enough to mourn me, I would be ok with that. I do not care if I leave anything behind. I have no children, no legacy.
I just want to exist, enjoy myself, and find a few people that bring me comfort and joy.
I do not feel much shame for how much I prioritize the self.
Men do it all the time. They follow their dreams. They don't have to be dragged down by parenting, that can be left to the mother. They are encouraged to realize their potential, look within, understand themselves and know what they want in life. It's OK for men to care more about making money than being parents and serving others.
Maybe I should have been born a man. But to be honest, my mother raised me equally to my brothers. I don't think she intended to influence me to reject motherhood, but I know deep down she always wished she could have focused on her education and hobbies.
She did everything. All my dad had to do was go to work and come home and watch TV. Although she did love him, she seems to have found freedom in having her children grow into adults. When my dad died, she finally started focusing on her hobbies and her goals. That is what she always wanted.
I do not feel like I am more selfish for refusing to have children and go straight to self growth as if I am a man. I think she wishes she had the option to, but I was born. I wasn't even unplanned.
I think she just always thought that is what her life's purpose was supposed to be as a woman. She had to be a mother.
I get enough mother feelings just from having some lazy, low-maintenance pets. I do not like children. I hate their screams, and I hate what they would represent if I had any. I know that deep down, I would feel like a child is an obligation that would take my freedom away. To be a parent, specifically a mother, you can no longer prioritize the self. You must prioritize the children, the family.
But men can still develop as an individual. I resent them for that fact. And my mother did too.
I am fortunate that my spouse does not force me into a box or place gendered expectations in me. I do not think of him as a "man", though I still use male pronouns most of the time. I am the same way, I use female pronouns but I consider myself a rebellion to what it means to be a "woman" in many ways.
Although my appearance is feminine, I strongly reject feminine roles. I hate cooking, I dislike children, I struggle with chores and organization.
I enjoy studying, I enjoy work that intrigues me. I fight anyone who tells me to tone myself down. I would never submit to a partner that told me what to wear or how to act. How to talk. I would quickly resent anyone who openly criticized me for traits that I value in myself.
My mother used to tell me I should sit funny, or I look mentally ill. Well, I am fucking mentally ill. So I never stopped. (I do kind of regret my bad posture as I have gotten older due to the back pain though lol)
My mother raised me with such a contradictory theme. She raised me to be my authentic self and reject anyone who would bully me or try to dull my sparkle for it, but at the same time she would bully me herself as if she should be allowed to control me but no one else can.
I am very resistant to any personalities that resemble that about my mother. I always go fight or flight. I'm not completely avoidant, but sometimes I find that avoiding people like that is better than fighting because I will lash out and cause a scene when I feel someone is mirroring the treatment I received from my mother growing up. When I feel that someone has crossed a line, all bets are off and I can become cuttingly cruel. Merciless even.
I can get myself into trouble with my tendency to be vindictive and mean, but I rarely ever show that side of myself for no reason. The problem is, no one has sympathy for you when you execute someone for stealing a loaf of bread if you know what I'm saying. Sigh
Anyway that's a wrap I guess for my bedtime rambles. I am getting sleepy.

[Image Description: diary page dated Saturday October 22nd, 2022, bearing a sticker of a long-haired man in animal skins, vines and a chain, holding his left fist up in front of him and a large club in his right hand, cocked back across his shoulders as if ready to swing. A fountain pen of lesbian pride flag-colored mother-of-toilet-seat plastic can be seen on the wooden desktop to the right of the diary.
Text is:
Dear Diary, I bless another day. Last day before THE WEEK.
This Giant Dude—or maybe Herakles—or maybe Giant Herakles—comes to tell me, "Be strong!"
And offers to use his club to whack me into THE WEEK if I need that sort of help.
"Thanks, Giant Herakles Dude!" I say. "I'll fall into the week willy-nilly, ofc., but the bat could give me some helpful direction, so I'll let you know!"
Also, new enzyme just dropped—Desiderase—acts to break down desires into ones that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to cells. No clue what that means though.
xoxox
Love,
Lexa <3 (& Giant Herakles Dude!)]
Some context, "the week" is the week of my long-awaited gender-affirming surgery consultation with the surgeon, omg.
But mostly, I blogged this for the new enzyme I just imagined discovered. I suppose I should bottle it up into desiderase supplements, for those who have trouble with indigestion of desires.
