I'm gonna be the realest with you rn and say that I haven't read Somnium (yet?) and I'm just following FIB as you upload, so I caught myself wondering what Oscar's job is! I'm not completely clueless though: I checked some older posts and from what I saw, I assumed he's a hacker and worked for a criminal gang? But what about now? Just a freelancer? And what about Courtney? What does homegirl got going for her? Tbh I'd love to know the profession of all your sims! Pls don't mind my lazy ass :')

Haaah! I can't say I blame you tbh since it's quite an investment at this point (still worth it imo tho LOL) but yeah, it's hard to catch up sometimes skjkdj <- me currently tryna catch up on a bazillion stories omg

Let's cover as many as we can! lmk if I miss any tho 🙈

But yessss.. Oscar is a freelancer programmer at the moment! He's VERY good at it but moved away from his naughtiness on that front for the most part 🤭 it works really well for him since he's not too great with structure and can work from home! (his office still SUCKS tho ;-;)

Courtney - Stay at Home Mom! She used to work at a garden centre and she's had a million n' one jobs before that too, she doesn't know what she wants to do 🙃 she'll think abt it some more when the kiddos are all old enough for school tho probs...

Ivan - Mechanical Engineer - haven't thought abt this one too much, I imagine he works at some kinda factory looking after/fixing all the machines tho idk 🤔

Bruno - Landscape Gardener

Noah - Artist! He has his own gallery now too and he scouts/stocks other peoples work as well as his.

Aspen - Yoga Teacher - kinda casual tho since Noah makes enough for both of em n' then some.

Sidney - Retired A&E Doctor! Still works the odd shift to help out tho cos she can't help herself.

Alton - Retired Charity Worker (FOR THE TREEEES! 🌲)

Alma - Semi Retired Medium/Tarot Card Reader

Mack/Kobe - Mechanics (still own their lil garage in the Harbor)

Darien - Accountant (a very GOOD accountant & only slightly dodgy these days, plenty of legal ways around the law u kno 😉)

Wyatt - Unemployed! Man's got enough money to last several lifetimes but messes with a lot of stocks, he'll tell people he's an Investor)

Brynn - Stay at Home Mom! She's quite social tho, I can see her getting a job in a cafe or smth when the kids go to school just for fun)

Tilda - Seamstress! She works with a slightly eccentric woman in her shop in the Bay

Tristen - Pizza Boy/Lifeguard! He works with Kara in a cute lil takeaway in town at night, but by day he picks up shifts as a lifeguard on the beach, especially in spring/summer 🌊 He has his own place now!! 🏠👀

Mia - Paramedic! She works a LOT

Suzie - Dog Sitter/Groomer - she has her own grooming station in the garage/outhouse so basically works from home!

Miya - Mixologist!

Rhys - Photographer - he's mostly done weddings/events in the past but he's working toward doing more projects of his own since he has a studio now! 📸

Tommy - Psychiatrist (Still doing his residency tho)

#ranswers #ewwwww work #😆#fib extras #?#kinda #idk #all this kinda shit is usually in the background i suppose #good excuse to write it all down!!#<33

More Trivia on The Sirens

Mitzy🍬

Mitzy will often change up her hairstyles whenever she gets bored with her looks. She probably goes on TW version of Pinterest. Pin-Twst…kill me.

Divus will always be their #1 test dummy when it comes to makeup. They actually appreciate whenever Divus gives out some critiques. That’s why she’s gotten better over the years.

A complete hand holder. Mitzy holds hands with people she’s close with, whether that be her own sisters or her besties. Physical touch is basically her love language (platonic/romance wise).

They need someone to compliment them everyday. They do not care who it's from, they need their ego boosted!

If Mitzy’s voice is completely monotone during class, don’t talk to her RUN. She’s having a rough day and will make it your problem if you annoy her. Azul had to learn the hard way.

If you ask her to dye your hair, she’ll drop everything just to show you her new dyeing skills.

Grace🍵

She would be kind of overwhelmed by Rook's excitable nature but be super invested in his stories. Trey would probably tell Grace that she shouldn’t believe everything Rook says but can’t help but instantly forget his warnings.

Has shaky hands most of the time when she’s tasked to do something. Often leading to broken dishes in the lounge and spilled flasks in alchemy class.

Grace is often the cause of several experiment accidents. As much as Divus scolds her he does realize that he has to be patient with her and helps her clean up the mess she made.

Will wake up Divus in the middle of the night to ask him about different potion she can practice on making.

Grace does not know her own strength and can accidentally crush something with her bare hands. Once point she made Coach Vargas crumple on the ground when he asked for a high-five. She was apologizing profusely and can’t look him in the eye ever again.

Grace studies and sleeps in her sister’s rooms. They make her feel safe so it’s nice to be around them. It makes her feel warm inside whenever they leave a blanket on her sleeping self along with a pillow underneath her head. These small amounts of kindness gives Grace enough courage to work on her studies and look forward to another day to try and better herself.

Coco🍁

Instead of resting bitch face Coco’s face is just “resting” literally that’s it. She also just talks like she has zero cares in the world. Coco is literally just vibing. Not to mention she talk like she’s high on life yet, has never smoked once. <—Blaze envy’s her lol

Often evenly matched with Floyd whenever they fight each other. Homegirl just throws him over her shoulder afterwards.

Falls asleep in class often but still retains information about the professors’ lectures. Divus knows this and just lets her rest, he’s not worried one bit.

Often has to patch up Mitzy and Grace during P.E. since they’re not really athletic.

Is surprisingly on friendly terms with Jade. She doesn’t really find him scary as most students make him seem. Coco just thinks he’s silly and tells Jade THE MOST GOD AWFUL PUN IMAGINABLE just to see him laugh like a moron.

Calls people she likes dorks or nerds no in between

#the little voices in my head told me to get this out of my system lol #maybe I’ll host interactions for the girls #twisted wonderland #twst oc #oc #twisted oc #twst #twisted wonderland oc #twst mitzy #twst grace #twst coco

after a long break from ml, i've finally caught up on season 4 and the beginnings of season 5 and oh. my. GOD. the season finale for season 4 was absolutely show stopping. it's been so long since i felt so invested in this show again and it had me gripping the edge of my seat.

if i'm being honest, season four made me lose so much interest in the show and i had no real motivation to keep up with it anymore because i hated the ongoing plot of ladybug slowly pushing chat noir away. yes, i understand that mari was the guardian now and had to learn how to balance being that and a regular high school girl, as well as an everyday superhero, but homegirl had me frustrated for so long. to watch her keep prioritizing the "team" over her day one partner made me honestly so glad we finally got that forced reset of it being back to just the two of them.

i've stayed in the loop for the most part, just catching random spoilers here and there when i go through my feed, but to actually witness the beginnings of the lovesquare most likely shifting in reverse has me kicking my feet and squealing like i did back in seasons 1-3.

season five has felt like a breath of fresh air again with ladybug trusting chat noir implicitly again and actually utilizing him as her partner rather than just another miraculous holder. AND ADRIEN'S SPEECH ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT OF AN IMPACT MARI HAS HAD IN HIS LIFE i need to go read adrinette fanfic again

season 5 is very clearly a different energy now that the dynamic has shifted so much between ladynoir and hawkmoth but i am so excited to see it unfold. i just hope zag and thomas don't have us running in the same plot circles for 824827 seasons.

#mlb #miraculous ladybug #miraculous #ml spoilers #kinda??#anyway time for me to go catch up on all the fanfic and fanart i've missed #starting with buggachat's bakery au probably bc that has been nonstop all over my dash #ashley.txt

Oh God, i completely forgot to mention in my last review about my feelings towards Miranda! I was so caught up with theories and my love for Cass and all the other things, so it slipped my mind, but here i am! Again. Sorry if im being too invested and write too much, id probably get bored of myself already(:

So. I know Miranda is like the main villain and all, but since last month ive been reading a lot about her, watching, investigating and im not embarrassed to say i love this character almost as much as i love the Dimitrescus. It pains me to see so little fics written about her as the main character, truly. Yes, she's the villain, yes, she's hurt a lot of people, killed a lot, but so did the sisters? The Lady D? So if we can redeem them, even if their motives are just hunger, sure as hell we can forgive Miri her urge to bring her daughter back. Her daughter! And now im embarrassed to say that id probably do the same thing if a had a chance to bring my loved ones back, even if i dont have kids rn. Sad, but true. I think most of us would try to.

So what im trying to say, is that when i first started to read LPA i was like yes, Miranda can go to hell, but now, when i got the whole picture and i really know the character the game gave us i have to say i love her a lot and that now i have to shove my feelings for her out out the window when i read such works where she's supposed to be hated. But its okay really, im used to it by now:D

And so im really disappointed to see how little fics are out there about Miranda and mcs being together, bringing Eva back, loving each other dearly (because i certainly would!), caring about each other. Where mc makes her feel better, wiser, truly happier. Ive see like one fic about that and thats just it, no more. Thats so sad and makes me kinda want to write something myself but im too busy with finals right now.

But anyways, even if Mother Miranda is a bitch sometimes i love Miri dearly. And i get why she receives hate so much (not literally but you get the idea) but i just love her as a character. I even started drawing her portrait on my wall right next to Dani's and let me tell you - her wings are a missive pain in the ass even tho i adore them. All those little feathers and lights they reflect, jeez, so hard to pain! Still worth it tho.

And she's so divine and so godly and strong and beautiful and powerful. And she's so smart! God, she's so smart. And when she grins evilly just like that-

Again, sorry for rambling, just wanted to get this out of my chest.

As always, sending my love for you and for LPA. Stay safe❤️

i could literally never grow bored of you; your reviews/asks/messages are the highlights of my day <33

as much as i've said i don't like her and call her a feathery bitch in my writing, miranda is still a very intriguing character. like, have you read her lore? homegirl was deadass about to kill herself because she lost her daughter and couldn't save her. also, i imagine a lot of the extent she goes to in order to revive eva is because of the mold, since I'm assuming it definitely alters peoples' minds and makes them cruel (like the bakers in RE7)

a lot of people in fics, i've noticed, tend to make her out to be a 2D antagonist who does horrible stuff just because she can. in LPA (and later in TPtM), I've tried to give her very good reasons for what she does. losing her loved ones over and over, being unable to revive them, no matter what you do... that takes a toll on people, and miri's been alive for over a century, if I'm not mistaken. she's just traumatized and wants her family back

but, you're completely right. we forgive lady d and her daughters for being cruel and write off their horrible actions, but many can't do the same for miri? she has motives behind her actions, even in canon, and she's a very good villain. she deserved more screen time than what she got

we need more fics of miranda and the mc being together and being *happy*. she deserves it after everything she's gone through. she deserves to hold her daughter again

i'd definitely love to see your paintings one day! I'm sure they look lovely and you probably capture them so well <3 i can only imagine how difficult the details of her feathers are, but you've got this! and, maybe when you have some free time, you could be the one to write that happy fic with miri and her love?

you never have to apologize for speaking your thoughts, i love hearing them. come to my ask box or DMs anytime you like, and stay safe and healthy during your finals. you got this <33

#asks #long post #i talk mad shit about her on tiktok #but honestly she intrigues me #i read her lore not too long ago when i started writing tptm to get a better feel for her #and it pains me to read #like yes shes a horrible person #but honestly #if i was in her position #if i'd lost my daughter and couldn't save her no matter what i did #and if i was infected by the mold for over a century while i did what i could to bring back my daughter #id be a little crazy too #a good villain/antagonist is one we can relate to #even if they go to extreme measures #and while i dont have kids #i can understand why she'd want to go through all this trouble #and why she'd be a little crazy and cruel #you see how happy she looks when she thinks she FINALLY brought eva back in rose?#and how quickly that was crushed?#that actually hurt me #like it physically pained me #give miri a break 2022

Heya Mu! Sent you an ask a few days ago about infodumping prompts; here's a few just for fun. Answer when you like, no rush! Feel free to use factual lore information, headcanons, or kin stuff as you like. So, I know that Hylia and Din, Farore, and Nayru are all goddesses, but what's their "relationship"? Which came first, and why did Nintendo/the responsible deity (or deities) feel like they had to make a new deity/deities? Hylia created Fi, right? To guide her chosen hero? Did Hylia create any other sword spirits (weird tongue guy notwithstanding, p sure Demise made him), did she create the concept of sword spirits, and what prompted Hylia to give Fi a very analytical-type personality (if she chose at all and if it wasn't Fi's own choice to be like that?) (Apologies for the weird tone on this next one, couldn't figure out the right way to word it) What gives Hylia the right/ability to intervene more in Hyrule's happenings than Din/Nayru/Farore? afaik, the latter trio has a pretty hands-off approach. Are they actually invested in seeing Hyrule flourish or is Hyrule just kind of Hylia's "pet project"? Is Hyrule the only land she cares for, or does she care for other lands that have been touched by her chosen hero/his incarnations as well (Labrynna/Holodrum/Termina/Lorule/etc.)? And, finally, what came first, the loftwing or the egg? Apologies if this is overwhelming, I can break these down into separate asks if you like, I just like the way you write things and give information... Plus it kinda got away from me a bit :P Hope things are going well for you!

OH FUCK YES LETS GOOOOOO THANK YOU I LOVE SHIT LIKE THIS

So, I know that Hylia and Din, Farore, and Nayru are all goddesses, but what's their "relationship"?

i view the golden goddesses as higher deities and hylia as a lesser one--the golden goddesses had power enough to create the entire world, while hylia herself seems less powerful? she was mortal enough to be mortally wounded from demise, despite being a goddess, so it seems her power is far less infinite.

i honestly have trouble humanizing the golden three like i do hylia, whenever i try to conceptualize them as people rather than forces it just goes fuzzy in my brain? so i have trouble viewing them having any relationship with her at all. the way i see it, they simply breathed a purpose into her and let her live it, and she did what she felt she was meant to do. if anything, the trinity are guiding stars more than they are big sisters.

Which came first, and why did Nintendo/the responsible deity (or deities) feel like they had to make a new deity/deities?

it's... hard to say? the triforce existed in zelda 1, and the goddesses of power/wisdom/courage are mentioned in alttp, but they aren't named until oot. hylia is also mentioned in alttp--'the people of hylia,' is what the royal family is referred to as, with no elaboration lol, she's not named as a goddess. a goddess of time is mentioned in majora's mask that's heavily implied to be hylia, but it's probably safe to say the golden 3 came first, hylia as a goddess didn't really feature at all until skyward sword.

in the story, the golden goddesses created the world, and the point at which they departed turned into the triforce. they tasked hylia with watching over the triforce, making sure it didn't fall into corrupt hands, and living amongst the people so they would always be protected. she's a guardian deity, at her core, her place is among mortals, which is why the humans of the surface are named in her honour.

as for why nintendo just kinda threw a fourth goddess into the mix 25 years in... i dunno, probably just to spice things up for the lore! ocarina of time made the golden goddesses seem so untouchable, i don't really blame them for making a pink diamond-type goddess to live closer to humans and kickstart the whole story. when skyward sword came out the marketing was all about how it was an origin story!

Hylia created Fi, right? To guide her chosen hero? Did Hylia create any other sword spirits (weird tongue guy notwithstanding, p sure Demise made him), did she create the concept of sword spirits?

as far as we know, fi and gary hams are the only sword spirits in existence. there's straight up no trace of sword spirits anywhere else in zelda lore, like literally nothing. i would say that it takes tremendous power to enchant a sword with a spirit. hylia and demise are both gods of their respective domains.

i honestly lean more toward demise being the first. ghirahim strikes me as 'older' than fi, though that might just be that he's been autonomous & without his master for a very long time, lots of time to wander the surface and develop as an entity. sword spirits are... very morally complex creatures, because they are designed to be servants, which is never a good thing and you can't really make it better by being like 'oh, but they love it' lmao. demise designing himself what is functionally a slave to get him the upper hand is within his character, and programming that slave as a failsafe in the event of his death is exactly the kind of global evil i'd expect from him. i think hylia takes a page from his book when she makes fi, hoping to gain a similar upperhand--but with fi she's less of a slave and more of a guardian angel.

(botw confirms that fi is programmed with a similar failsafe, which is very interesting! when demise is sealed away, ghirahim awakens and persists, wandering the surface in search of anything and everything that could revive his master. when link dies in botw, fi awakens after millennia asleep and calculates, immediately, the exact scenario with the highest probability of saving him from the brink.)

what prompted Hylia to give Fi a very analytical-type personality (if she chose at all and if it wasn't Fi's own choice to be like that?)

i go back and forth on this, i have many interpretations. i can never decide which interpretation of hylia i like best. the sentimental kinnie side of me wants her to be this heavenly thing with this overflowing heart who loves and loves and loves so much, she can't help but let it spill over. the part of me who is interested in stories wants her to literally just be rose quartz/pink diamond from steven universe, this otherworldly being who is fascinated by humans but struggles to see them as her equal, as things with souls. how i interpret fi is directly tied to how i interpret hylia, so it changes.

here are some ideas i have:

hylia sucks. she made fi to get the upper hand, in both her own battles and her chosen hero's. she didn't think about much of anything when she made fi, just kind of saw the sword spirit as a chess piece. fi came out like that because hylia didn't bother to program her emotions.

hylia really sucks. she purposefully designed fi to be an unfeeling machine. emotional attachments are not efficient, they do not give you the upper hand in battle. she designed fi intentionally and carefully to be nothing more than a cold ai who exists to serve. anything less wouldn't be enough.

hylia rocks. she came down to earth a goddess who knew she was above the mortals there, but the courageous heart of one single man melted her heart to honey and she vowed to make his soul immortal. sword spirits are born as blank slates, their identities tied only to their purpose. hylia knew when fi met link, though, that would change. this hylia does not view emotional attachments as a flaw--maybe she did, once upon a time, but since knowing humans and loving humans, she's learned there is nothing more powerful than a heart on fire. hylia always wanted fi to learn this lesson, and though she programmed the spirit to be efficient first and foremost, she knew that if anyone could wake up the heart of a machine, it would be link.

What gives Hylia the right/ability to intervene more in Hyrule's happenings than Din/Nayru/Farore? afaik, the latter trio has a pretty hands-off approach. Are they actually invested in seeing Hyrule flourish or is Hyrule just kind of Hylia's "pet project"?

honestly i can't say why beyond what i said above about her being kind of a lesser deity. the golden goddesses really did just create the entire universe and the most powerful artifact known to man and then dip and leave her to it.

they seem very... ambivalent to the fate of hyrule. the triforce itself can't discern good from evil intent, it simply grants wishes, and likewise the golden goddesses make no move to intervene unless they are certain their world will be completely destroyed. i'm pretty sure the only influence they ever have on the land below is the great flood that precedes wind waker--hyrule gets so close to desolation that they say fuck it and even then they drown the world, with little care for the people below. it's just this clean sweep, survival of the fittest.

after the era of the goddess though, hylia's right to intervene simply comes from the fact that she chose mortality over godhood. she looked her divinity in the face and said 'no thank you' and chose to die and be eternally reborn instead. homegirl brute forced her way into it and as long as the royal family keeps having daughters she isn't stopping any time soon.

Is Hyrule the only land she cares for, or does she care for other lands that have been touched by her chosen hero/his incarnations as well (Labrynna/Holodrum/Termina/Lorule/etc.)?

i wish i had answers for this. i feel like her protection goes wherever link goes, though, even if it's not as strong in other realms. it is her that forged his unbreakable spirit, so in a way he carries her blessing with him always... i don't know if that makes sense, but i think there's a bit of hylia's golden love wherever link steps.

And, finally, what came first, the loftwing or the egg?

oh i know this one. it's the loftwing. i will not elaborate.

#wendy rambles #anonymous #wendy answers #thank you SO MUCH i love shit like this

Girrrrrrl,I'm getting ready for work and saw the anon's message about dude who's pro black.Ugh I can't stand black men like that. I know one who loves his mom and all other women in his family,he treats me well too but tried to question my blackness.Every now and again he'll try but he knows how to stfu.I told him just because you and the rest of your problack crew wear all of that African clothing/fabrics,call each other Kings and Queens,starting up y'all businesses,read only black literature and mainly or only deal with black people that doesn't mean shit.I told him a lot of them are jumping on the bandwagon and don't really care about black people like they claim.He tried to get me to leave where I was working to start a business then swore I was a nut for not doing so.I work and save.I will have my own business one day but I was like how tf you going to put me down for working a legal job but you didn't do that when you needed my financially?Smfh at the black men who act like that.He also don't like gay people but don't mind a woman who likes women.Smfh.He tries to get with me but after all of that started coming out I was like oh no baby what is you doing?Since we know some of the same people,we keep it cool.He got mad at me one day because I told him he and his friends were trying to use black people to get rich instead of really elevating the community.All the really want to show them is how to own and I'm with that because I own properties.He doesn't know that since he thinks I'm some uninformed black woman working for the man,slaving.I told him the community needs more like learning how to read,food etc.One of his homegirls teach how to eat right but you have to pay $60 just for info.Smfh it's just ridiculous.

Wow! He sounds v invested in captitalism. Like what about our political rights, education or mental wellness? All of this is what we deserve as a People.

So many people think the revolution is about money, which is actually another manifestation of white supremacy in this country. to make the "bottom line" or point of anything profit.

im here for financial independence but i cant poo poo anyones methods of achieving that. especially other industrius blk ppl. its not the point.

Im glad yall can weed through these hoteps cause yiiiiikkkkeeesss 🤧😪

Advice for the New School Year

As many of us are close (or possibly have already begun) the new school year I’d like to offer advice/words of wisdom. I’m a senior in university now, so I’ve learned a lot over the years.

1. If you can, invest in a good backpack. I tried sticking with this old ass backpack that I’d had since early high school, and let me tell you that thing broke and all my shit fell out in public on the third day of freshman year. I then bought a High Sierra backpack which I had for 3 years. Homegirl and I went to South America and back together. Also, she was water-resistant and had a ton of pockets. I did just buy a new backpack though because my High Sierra was weathered down :( Don’t try and be cute with those bags as backpacks because your shoulder will die. Comfort > style in this case

2. If you can, buy an agenda and write down EVERY SINGLE DUE DATE found in all of your syllabi. This is legitimately the first thing I do as soon as my uni’s portal opens and I can access my class syllabi.

3. Read your syllabi right away and make sure you can handle the class. I don’t know about your school, but mine doesn’t release syllabi until the morning of the first day of class. Unless I know someone who’s taken the class, I have to wait until the morning of the first day of class and sometimes I end up dropping a class right then and there.

4. Don’t be afraid to shop around for classes. For example, I’m currently signed up for more classes than I need. This is because I want to physically go to every class and get a feel for it myself.

5. So you realize you hate your major. I changed mine 4 times and I’m doing just fine. It happens. It really hurts (trust me, I know), but your future isn’t over if the major you were set on doesn’t work out. I was crushed when I realized pre-med wasn’t going to happen, but my life went in a different and more beautiful direction than it would have been had I stayed in pre-med.

6. Don’t stay in a major that you hate. I know this is cliche, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t follow this. I understand wanting to be practical and realistic, but if you are in a major that makes you dread even going to class, what is the point?

7. Always carry a water bottle. Plastic? Our environment is DYING people.

8. Always carry a strong umbrella. Let me tell you. One time, I was walking to class in a storm. My weak ass umbrella broke and I showed up to class dripping like I’d just come out of the pool. After that class, I bought a wind-resistant umbrella and my life has changed for the better. Where I live we have bad storms, and my wind-resistant umbrella and I have survived them all.

9. If you can afford this, try to invest in a good laptop. I know it’s a lot of money and it’s the reason I put off buying a good laptop until very recently. You don’t need a freaking MacBook okay. To be honest, they aren’t all that. I’ve used them enough to say that. Just get a good laptop that won’t crash all the time or freeze in the middle of an online quiz or basically ruin your life. And get insurance on the laptop too!

10. Always have some snacks in your bag. Buying food every day? In this economy? Not me. I pack my lunch anyways, but I always have additional snacks. Especially since I’m on campus for most of the day and can’t easily get home. The only thing I miss about dorm life is the convenience.

11. You really don’t need to show up to your professor’s office on day one. Personally, I don’t see a point. Truthfully, there are some classes that are easy and that you can walk away with an A without issues. If there’s a small issue, an email will suffice.

12. On the other hand, if you do have issues, don’t be afraid to talk to your professors! There was a professor that I had who I got to know because of some concerns I had in my class. Now they’re writing my graduate school letters of recommendation. Another professor ended up boosting my final exam score because he knew who I was and how hard I had worked for him.

13. Don’t lock yourself in the library and don’t lock yourself in your dorm. My first year of college was miserable because I spent it either in the library or my dorm. It really will drain you and hurt your health.

14. All-nighters are not cute. They suck. A lot. Shit happens and sometimes an all-nighter has to happen. But if you can, please don’t do it willingly. It really fucks with your sleep schedule. When I have to pull an all-nighter to turn in an assignment (because I procrastinate), I usually have to skip my earlier classes to catch up on sleep because I simply cannot focus.

15. Find a support system. Sometimes, they come to you by accident. Sometimes, you have to seek them out. I hated my university my first year, and it was only when I began developing a support system (along with some other changes) that I began to enjoy my time.

16. If you’re going to college in the US like I do, you probably won’t enter old enough to drink. You’re probably going to want to drink which is fine. I mean, I’ve done it. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t. But listen to me: don’t be stupid and don’t get caught. At my school, they take it seriously and you’ll get into a ton of trouble. I’ve heard too many horror stories about the consequences.

17. On the flip side, don’t feel pressured to drink. I’ve avoided gatherings with friends when I know they’re going to drink because I just don’t want to.

18. Stay safe fam. Follow your gut. If your friends are going out or going to do something and you have a bad feeling about it, don’t go with them. I had a bad feeling about going to a party with friends so I stayed in my dorm, and I found out the next morning that the police raided the party and a bunch of people were arrested.

19. Buy some rain boots and wear them if it says it’s going to rain. The number of shoes that have been destroyed because of the rain is actually kind of heartbreaking.

20. You got this fam!!!

I hope this helps. It’s all stuff that I would have liked to know when I was entering my first year in college.

*✶｡ MEET FRENCHIE WAVERLY — THE BEAUTY QUEEN.

STATS —

faceclaim: halston sage.

age: sixteen.

DOB: july 31st.

year: junior.

gender: cisfemale.

pronouns: she/her.

residence: north normal.

worst fears: disfigurement, failure.

milkshake order: cookies and cream.

FAST FACTS —

if it’s not obvious enough from her uppity attitude, frenchie has been admired since the day she was born. she’s not alone, though — she shares nearly everything with her twin, theo. upon learning that theo was deaf, their mother’s attentions shifted more and more onto frenchie; though he was still the same wonderful child he’d always been, he didn’t quite fit her idea of perfect any longer. that honor went to frenchie.

and so theo was dragged along to all of frenchie’s pageant practices and dress fittings, with the twins making faces and signing rude things behind their mother’s back. they were thick as thieves, and little has changed since then.

though she loves her brother more than anything, frenchie has never been quite able to resist attempting to please her mother. her expectations were brutal, but her attention was addictive – and frenchie had never exactly been the poster girl for willpower.

this, of course, all came crashing down when frenchie opened her mouth during the talent portion of miss teen normal 2019. her voice was completely gone, and it has yet to make a reappearance.

embarrassed, confused, and totally adrift without her constant pageantry parade, frenchie turned to her local weirdos (only at her most desperate, of course). for all her fake smiles during pageants, you’d think she’d be better at putting on a happy face around the murder club — instead, she pretty much consistently looks like she smells something bad. give her time, folks, she’ll improve.

prior to her spontaneous voice loss, could not give less of a fuck about the town’s ~spoopy~ nature. why should she care about some weird shit when she has pageant practice? #priorities. these days, though, she’s much more invested. it’s mostly a selfish interest, though — she just wants her voice back, and she’ll take any explanation she can get.

as far as personality goes, her mom has been a pretty bad influence in her life. frenchie’s no angel, of course, but she does have a natural benevolence that comes naturally to her when she’s around her friends. on the other hand, her mother’s constant pressure for her to achieve, achieve, achieve has caused her to become more shallow, snappish, and uppity toward those around her. if she’s having a bad day, she can definitely play really hard into the catty mean girl trope.

HEADCANONS —

since homegirl can’t talk, she carries around one of those little magnetic drawing boards! she’s bedazzled it, of course. when they’ve got downtime, she’ll often attempt to teach the club a bit of ASL (your basics: their names, thank you, usual pleasantries, etc). if anyone wants to make her life easier, she’ll never complain about teaching them!

despite her misgivings about the murder club, she’ll take to showing up to their little meetings 10 minutes late with everyone’s starbucks order (or, rather, their milkshake orders). she’s a little horrified that she’s starting to memorize who gets what.

she has a golden retriever named ollie! he’s precious.

there are definitely more but my brain is fried forgive me.

random end note — here’s her pinterest!

Why does Sam matter?

Tomb Raider is one of the first games I played when my parents finally offered my brother and I a Playstation. It was our first console and even though we didn’t have many games, I remember how in awe my 7/8 year old self was at the time. Even if I was just a kid, it was amazing to realize that, not just my brother could incarnate a ‘super hero’ of his gender, I could too. I could be this badass British woman who kicks ass and takes name and who has a weird obsession with doing headstand just to climb an obstacle (show off*!).

I also remember that, even though I’ve never been close to my brother, we were morphing into a real team when we were playing the game together. Maybe that is why I’ve never seen Lara as a lone wolf so much, because I remember Wilson (the fridge part is a nice memory, even if it makes you sound like a psychotic person) and all the characters that were around her along her adventures. Not only that, but I also remember how I used to look for game guides with our very slow 56k Internet connection (I don’t miss that time!) to guide my brother through the game when it was his turn to play.

The thing is, although I look fondly at this part of my childhood, I can’t really tell you what the plots of the games were. I was young and even when I played as a teenager; I only remember bits and pieces, because I loved playing this badass woman but I couldn’t relate to her. Along the years, she looked less and less like a normally constituted person with a soul (triangle boobs, really? Can you even run with that?) and more and more like a Terminator.

So I slowly lost interest, focusing on other role models, because I was lucky enough to be born in a time when strong women were starting to appear on TV on regular basics. Time flies and before I knew it, I was a young adult, finishing my master degree and ready to take on the world (things didn’t go as planned, kinda like with the search of Yamatai but that’s another story.) and what do I hear one day? There’s a Tomb Raider reboot, with a Lara who’s practically my age! I was ecstatic, memories of my childhood came flooding back and I couldn’t wait to play it, to incarnate my girl Lara once again, now that I’m older and wiser. Of course, I expected a lot.

And boy, I wasn’t let down, it was AMAZING! Unlike the games in my childhood, I didn’t just appreciate Lara character, I fell in love with it. She wasn’t a cold robot killer anymore, she was human, flawed and beautiful and struggling to find her path, just like you do at her age. And she wasn’t alone, she had her mentor, friends and more importantly her bff Sam.

This time, the plot was captivating. I was so immersed into it, ignoring everything just to play the game (I played it several times since and I’m still amazed). I wanted to save my homegirl Sam, not because the game was telling me to, but because the character that plays the “damsel in distress” wasn’t weak or annoying, she was also strong, funny and witty, she was Lara’s rock, Lara’s motivation when she wanted to give up. Their connection was so organic and beautiful. And the end of the game was just iconic.

It was like I had found my Lara Croft, badass and yet human, strong and fragile, a woman who gets hurt, who suffers but who keeps going, someone not to mess with yet still shy and bookish because women are not one dimensional character. This Lara inspired me and a part of what makes her even more likeable was her relationship with Sam, no matter if romantic or platonic.

After that, I needed to know more about them and I started reading the comics. Rhianna Pratchett and Gail Simone did a wonderful job portraying Sam and Lara, as individual and as friends. It was all I could ask for.

But oh why do all good things come to an end? Suddenly Sam was written off in preparation of the new game. I had a bad feeling, and it turned out I was right…

Although I liked playing ROTTR, it lacked of something and I can barely tell you what the story was about. Despite Jonah’s presence, Lara was less human, like a part of her was missing, funny, just like Sam… When I played the DLC Blood Ties, I couldn’t help but think how Sam was to Lara what Amelia was to her father Richard, and yet, Sam was still nowhere to be find. Why does Lara need to be a lone wolf when even her mother and father left her letters telling her she didn’t have to be alone, that they wanted her to be loved and cared? It was supposed to be a reboot, a fresh start, so why slowly going back to the killing machine she was in the previous generation the game?

I understand that the studio wants to please old and now fans, but you can’t please everyone, and TR2013 was a commercial success, so why disregard the new generation of fans to try and seduce players that won’t like the reboot version anyway?

A lot of new video games hero and heroine have companion going with them on adventure and they are not less of a success, so why Lara Croft couldn’t be one of them? Why couldn’t she have Sam going with her, being there, if not physically, through video recordings or over the radio? And Jonah could help too, but having him isn’t enough or the same, his relation with Lara is different, he’s like a big brother, but with Sam, Lara lets herself be, like she does with no one else and that’s what’s missing now…

After reading the last Tomb Raiders comics issue, I have little hope of seeing Sam again (it was like years of canonically strong bond between them never existed), and seeing Lara turn back into a loner just breaks my heart. I’m not sure I want to invest my time, money and love into supporting this franchise if that’s where the story is heading and I don’t think I’m the only one (There are articles that prove that Sam is loved as a character and the humanized version of Lara too).

Sam matters to Lara’s story, to us, to me, please don’t write her off.

I know it’s already long, but I’ll just finish with this. Lara Croft isn’t a one dimensional character, Lara Croft doesn’t have to be cold, Lara Croft doesn’t have to be a stereotype. My Lara Croft is a wonderful young woman who can go on adventure and still have friends, people to come home to. My Lara Croft falls, struggles and gets back up again, not for her dead father’s memory, but for herself, for her friends that she loves and who cares for her, my Lara Croft could be so much more if only you could give her a chance…

KL Summarizes - Puella Magi Madoka Magica

By: KL Tiago

There are several tropes associated with the magical girl genre. Cute-yet-semi-trashy outfits. Impossibly coloured and styled hair. Overly-sexual magical transformations from school-girl to mystical-fighter... Puella Magi Madoka Magica has all of that and more, honey. Oh, but did I mention that unlike other magical girl series out there: it. Is. Dark. Very dark. Let’s discuss. Spoilers ahead, mama.

We start with school girls Madoka and Sayaka living they boring-ass lives. We see some classic magical girl color-palette individuality going on here; one pink and one blue, you can tell homegirls are gonna have some hue-specific outfits when they transform, and bitch: they do. But first they’re just two regular youngins. And then they meet Kyubey.

Kyubey? Honey. Kyubey. Is. A. Bitch. But we’ll get to that.

Kyubey is cute AF. AF. Kyubey is half-bunny, half-cat, half-fox, sort of pink, sort of white; it is giving you beady-red-eyed-adorable-animalistic-ambiguity. The girls meet Kyubey and he telepathically spills the tea that he can grant them a wish. And not only can he grant you a wish–no bitch–Kyubey is a businessman; he will give you a two-for-one, Miss-Miss! Not only will you get a wish–BITCH!–you will also become a muthafucking MAGICAL GIRL.

Will you get magical powers? Yes! Will you get a fabulous outfit? Yas! Will you fight evil witches and save lives? YAS! Shit-is-look-ing-up, Mama! The girls meet a new friend, Mami, who has already got her wish and made a contract with Kyubey. She is living her best magical girl life, honey. She has yellow ribbons, boss-ass rifles and breasts which make no sense on a 15 year-old. She was also a friendless orphan until she met her two new friends, but she is lonely no more, honey! Yas! Friendship!

…

Enter Homura.

Homura Akemi is purple, sleek, and ready to motherfucking murder Kyubey. Why?–You ask–would anyone want to kill Kyubey? He is so fucking cute! Bitch, I’m about to get there.

One day, Madoka and Sayaka go with Mami while she out hunting witches; as the magical girls do. However, shit goes wrong this time… Shit goes side-ways. Shit goes so sideways that Mami gets her fucking head torn off. Literally. Well I suppose literally it’s bitten off, but still: shit gets real. Very suddenly. Ain’t nothing like seeing a magical girl go limp because a witch chomped her head off. Pret-ty fucked up. Must admit.

Homura dashes in to save the two girls, killing the witch who half-ate Mami, and warns these stupid bitches to stay the fuck away from Kyubey and to forget about being a magical girl.

Do they? Fuck no: this is a narrative, honey.

Sayaka ends up making a wish to save a boy who leaves her ass for some skank. She gets so emo about it homegirl’s Soul Gem–the source of her magical girl power–goes corrupt and she turns witch.

Oh yeah, bitch. Witches are just darkened magical girls. But that’s so weird since… Kyubey… makes magical girls… to fight witches… Oh shit.

YAS BITCH. KYUBEY IS FINESSE INCARNATE! Him and his people–The Incubators–feed off the powerful energies created by the magical girls after they turn into witches. He is lying to young girls and snatching their literal souls, honey! SAVAGE!

There’s a reason Homura been trying to kill this cat/dog/fox/rabbit/alien shit from the jump off. FURTHER PLOT TWIST: IT WASN’T EVEN THE JUMP!

Homura got suckered too, honey… like a million years ago! Bitch can travel in TIME! And what does she use her time travel for? Trying to save her dumbass friends. That’s a real one. Homura a real one. How many friends gon’ jump through time to save yo ass? Not many.

In every timeline her besties die or turn witch-bitch, so Homura goes back and tries it again. It’s sweet… and sad, because she literally is never successful.

But then Madoka makes a move.

After being the focus of Homura’s flagrantly-lesbian-obsessive timeline restarts, the energies surrounding Madoka have become hella powerful and so she will make a hella powerful wish. And she wishes to change the world: to stop magical girls from turning into witches when they die or get filled with sorrow. Instead, she will purify the souls while transcending into another universe, darling. Self-sacrifice is so chic.

Mama Madoka becomes a god, living in another realm and purifying the souls of magical girls while her friends live on happily.

…Or so we think, bitch!

In the third film we see all of the girls back alive and well fighting evil once more. Homura, being the boss-ass bitch she is, soon realizes something is fucked the hell up and discovers her and her friends have been plopped into an alternate reality formed by the power of a witch who is just about to transform. Shit gets even more real when Homura realizes that she is the witch who is about to go nuclear. Plot-fucking-twist! Homura got got by her damn-self!

As her soul is about to be corrupted and destroyed, Madoka comes to her, ready to purify her best friend and stop her from witching out. Homura sees her friend and seizes the opportunity. There are two omni-powerful 14 year-olds in this playground, Miss Thing. And one of them has no fucks left to give and a lesbian crush to act on.

After lifetimes of trying to save Madoka and failing, Homura chooses this moment to use all her power and retransform the world just as Madoka did, but this time she is the vengeful boss-demon-lord, honey. She saves her friends while also making Kyubey and his people her slaves who suffer corruption in place of the magical girls and Madoka. The only one who knows what truly happened, how Homura changed the world and is technically a sociopathic-all-powerful-demon-witch, is Sayaka. And Homura makes like Luca Brasi, and lets Sayaka know she better fall the fuck in line. Ain’t no one messing up this new timeline, honey. Homura has finally glowed up.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a phenomenal anime which I highly encourage you to invest in. I watched the three films, but there are full-season animes which play out the first two films. It is cute, it is depressing; what more could you want?!

Reveling in Richonne

#11: The Domestic Intro (6x10)

Yay! We finally get to talk about all the glorious moments from the day they went cannon, aka the day my eyes were 100% opened, aka the day we were all blessed lol.

Alright, so now that I was more invested in this show than ever, I had wanted to read all the article reviews and social media comments and watch all the reactions to see if people were as into the S6 midseason premiere as I had been. I had saw in some comments on a post on TWD's official FB page that in the upcoming episode Rick and Michonne would sleep together. I remember just thinking "what the heck!?"

I was sort of shocked because I had mainly seen them as best friends until NWO slowly began to open my eyes, and so now that my eyes were just newly opening to the high possibility that they loved each other more than friends, hearing they would get together in the very next episode felt too soon. Like I thought maybe they needed at least an episode in between to show the audience that their love had evolved (I hadn't yet realized there'd been three seasons of their evolving love). And, y'all, I admit I got a bit nervous.

I became super worried, not about the union, but about the execution of them getting together. I feared it would be mishandled and what is so clearly a good relationship would be written off as a rebound when that's the last thing it should be (cuz that Jessie stuff was never anything serious and Michonne is the one for Rick). I was excited about the news too, cuz I was like this next step in their relationship could be a really amazing thing and they both deserve each other, but I was also super nervous how it would be done.

Especially as a black woman, I wanted to make sure Michonne would be valued and her multidimensional character would not be altered and as a fan of Rick, I was nervous that if it seemed like he was getting with Michonne casually or thoughtlessly it would assassinate his character and make it seem like he used her and that, my friends, would make me hate him and I don't want to hate Rick. As you can see I had some worries lol.

This was my first spoiler, so the whole week I was both hopeful and nervous as I waited with anticipation to see how this would all go down. I so badly wanted the portrayal of them realizing they loved each other to be amazing and heartfelt and not just physical like the spoiler implied. Luckily, I didn't have to wait long to realize it would absolutely be amazing and heartfelt. Why? Cuz the opening scene in 6x10 had me shook in the best way!

They were so happy. Like blissful. They were so blatantly a family in this intro and it was so sweet and domestic. For them to just be going about their daily routine so casual and smiley, it felt both new and familiar since, let's be real, they've been family for a long time but now they fully and completely looked the part. It was such a simple and normal scene and that's what shook me. It was beautiful.

Plus I was like "Homegirl has to feel extra comfortable around them to just be glowing around in a robe and towel". (No the "glowing" wasn't a typo. 😂 Sis, was glowing in love!) I feel that was an intentional choice for her to wear that robe and towel to show just how vulnerable she was willing to be. It wasn't even a thought to walk around like that because this was her immediate family. Like the happy family vibes between all of them in this intro, Carl and Judith included, was so on point and so convincing.

Also starting with "More Than A Feeling"!? I'm convinced Gimple used that song specifically for the “At-the-Fencers” and the ones who shipped Richonne long before this moment to finally let them know that what they thought would happen between R&M all this time was indeed more than a feeling. I love it. Think about how many haters thought it was just some wild ridiculous hunch that R&M would get together and now you have the episode where they go cannon literally starting with “More Than A Feeling”. The petty side of me is so beyond here for it lol. Basically, even AMC was trying to tell the haters “Boy, Bye.”

Now of course I wish we could have seen some of the moments between them in the two months leading up to this moment, but this scene told us that whatever happened, they clearly became more comfortable and connected than ever. The way Rick is looking at her in this scene. 😍 The way she is smiling at him. 😍 It's crazy that in this scene they’re still technically "just friends". Cuz everything in this scene suggests otherwise. Just look at the gif below. That is not how "friends" look at each other lol!

There's deep comfort, appreciation, and love in their exchange but also an undeniable physical attraction. Rick so clearly has the three people he loves most, in that house, at this moment. With my new fresh eyes, I watched this as it aired and was like "okay there's romantic chemistry and flirting that I hadn't fully noted before" and I thought "ok this could work!"

But then something happened next, and to paraphrase Rick and Michonne, "the rules changed for me" 😉

hey TT! I was on vacation, and since I've come back, I haven't put in any effort in watching Ishqbaaz. Would you be kind enough to recap stuff that went down ever since Shivaay gave Annika the pink lingerie that she wore over her gown?

Hi friend!

Hope you had a good holiday! 😊😊😊

Ok, let’s see… 🤔🤔🤔

Shivaay tries multiple times to sex up the wife, but Anika, who seems to have invested in the best chastity belt in the history of the universe ever, manages to resist/thwart him.

Shivaay plans to hand over OmRu’s share of the Oberoi Empire to them, but Anika, as part of her “plan” to make him hate her, objects, saying that OmRu don’t contribute to the business at all and don’t deserve a cut.

OmRu realize that Anika is acting most unlike herself and confront her. She tearfully confesses the whole truth to them (Shivaay is Kamini’s son with Shakti, Mahi is his twin) and recruits them to assist in her plan.

Anika gets drunk and almost spills the beans to Shivaay, but doesn’t. Shivaay does detect that something is bothering her though.

Meanwhile, Jhanvi has found out the truth coz OmRu are little snitches who can’t keep anything to themselves. She tries to convince Anika, fails, and gets recruited into “the plan” too. Jhanvi in turn, gets Tej to agree as well by blackmailing him about the “truth about what happened 35 years ago” and how Ashok was involved in it all. Yep, Ashok, the pyromaniac from Episode 1. Somehow, we remembered he existed for one whole second, one whole year later.

Shivaay makes preps for a mandap and whatnot, and surprises Anika with a proposal. It’s a very sweet and heartfelt proposal and I’m crying at my desk at work thinking of it rn.

Shit. Hits. Fan. Homegirl phelaofies fullllllll raita, accusing him of being ashamed of her (because he arranged a small private wedding ceremony), the family giving her nothing but grief since she’s met them, etc. etc. She’s rude to Dadi and Pinky, demands batwaara, blah blah blah. Shivaay is flummoxed at this sudden 180 in her behaviour and tries to reason with her and address her concerns.

Anika pulls her trump card: She’s gotten the facts about how Mrs. Kapoor was blackmailing Shivaay about Om being illegitimate, + the Daimaa video from Tia. (Yup. Even Mrs. Kapoor and Tia know that Shivaay is the illegitimate one and that he completely misinterpreted the whole Daimaa statement. The only ones who don’t know that Shivaay isn’t Pinky’s son are Dadi, Prinku, and Shivaay himself.) Anika drops the bomb that Om is illegitimate (with OmRu, Jhanvi and Tej’s consent - that was “the plan” that she’d recruited them into) in front of the press that’s gathered, with the video as proof.

Shivaay is triggered, coz NKK. He signs the divorce papers (from waaaaaaay back, that he’d forced her to sign during that whole Tia pregnancy drama) and throws her out of the house.

Ragini Malhotra, bonafide psycho and regular watcher of TMZ India, is delighted that Shivaay Singh Oberoi is finally single again. She plans to be Mrs. SSO 2.0

3 months later; Shivaay is mentally “not all there”: doesn’t give a fuck about his health anymore (has had one pretty serious heart attack scare already), is living pretty recklessly (drives his new bike at speeds unattainable on Mumbai roads, provokes goons to beat him up and takes the beating without retaliation) and doesn’t care about anyone who isn’t OmRu/Gauri. Especially Pinky. He also seems to have been keeping tabs on Anika (knows where she’s living and likes to show up in the night and stare at her in the window) and seems oddly fixated on buying the chawl that she’s living in (that Ragini’s brother Samar already has put in a bid on.) Meanwhile, Ragini has managed to worm her way into a “friendship” with him. Shivaay doesn’t particularly give a fuck about her, but Pinky seems to be putting great stock in their friendship, calling her to come “save him” every time he’s acting particularly nihilistic/suicidal - which is all day every day. (Read this post for my analysis on Shivaay’s mental state rn.)

Anika’s job hunting has led her to the Malhotras. Samar (who has met her previously, he tried to comfort her when she was crying in public in the chawl) refuses to recognize her from their prior encounter, and isn’t interested in hiring her, but Ragini makes him. Because keep your friends close, and your love interest’s ex wife even closer.

Phew. I think I got everything. Did I miss anything, you guys? Leave it in the comments if I did!

Warning: This topic might be a taboo for some people and contain graphic TMI description so feel free to leave if you're feeling uncomfortable about this.

This topic is going to either be squeamish or interesting. Squeamish if you're a guy or have trouble with blood. Interesting if you're a girl who is either going through puberty or has gone through puberty or you're an attached man who TMI speaks with your partner or you're an open-minded woke single guy. We girls normally either use pads or tampons during our periods. Recently, there's been a rave about menstrual cup. I haven't use menstrual cup and I find tampons to be super mafan (troublesome). Now, a company called Thinx come up with this period panties that allow you to free bleed in them/serve as a backup for your pads, tampons, cups and liners. There's been some good reviews here, here and here and okay reviews here and here about them (and a slightly unfavouring review here). Long story short, I need to get myself some Thinx. Fortunately, somewhere in July, they were having this free shipping to UK and also a sale on the cycle set, meaning you build your own cycle set and depending on how many underwear you buy, you get some discount. I got myself five undies so I got 10% off (If I'm not mistaken). Yay! Then, Thinx decided to show up in London and I JUST HAD TO GO THERE to take a look and bought another 3 pairs (oops! Bank account, please forgive me). They come in various styles for different flow. Hi-Waist, Boyshort and Hiphugger are for the heaviest days. Sport for medium days and Cheeky and Thong for light days. I got them all (yes, including the Thong. Gasp!).

Oooh... so cute ^_^!!!!

Photo taken by me.

How it works

This is where I reproduce the whole thing from their website here.

Basically...

Thinx is made up of four bits of tech that makes ‘em anti-microbial, moisture-wicking, absorbent, and leak-resistant. The top layer fights bacteria and absorbs any liquid into the über thin layer right beneath it, so you always stay dry. This way, you can wear 'em all day long. And no, they don't feel like diapers, and it's not like sitting in your own blood. Boom. Yes, they are indeed reusable. That's the point! To take care of your Thinx, you rinse immediately after use, cold wash (waiting 'till laundry day is a-ok) and hang dry. Don’t use bleach or fabric softener! And yes, the rest of your clothes will be fiiine. My experience Day 1: Today is pretty light so I used a Cheeky just to experiment. My boyfriend had this Nike Night Run with his colleagues so being a good girlfriend, I tagged along to support them. Before that, we had late lunch at Bayswater then took a tube to London Bridge to go to the venue. Got home at 11. Slept using normal underwear and overnight pad.

Photo by Thinx

Duration of hour wearing them: Around 8-9 hours (Cheeky is said to absorb about 1 tampons worth of blood). Since this is my lightest day, it works great with no leaks. Day 2: This is when it starts to get heavy. I wore a Beige Hiphugger, which has a black lining, which is really good. First 4 hours was good. I almost forgot that I'm bleeding. I literally didn't feel any soggyness at all. Sure, I felt the blood coming out but that's about it. When it comes to the sixth hour, I felt weird like that feeling that I feel when my pad is full. Lo and behold, it leaks at the sides. What a disaster. Okay, I'm exaggerating but you know, Thinx claimed that their undies are leak proof and you can basically wear them all day but at the same time they DID recommend use to wear them the #knowyourflow way. Plus, the Hiphugger is said to absorb about 2 tampons worth of blood. Sadly, I don't really wear tampons cause they're super mafan and the most successful attempt lasted 10 seconds. Thinx, you gotta come up with a pad absorbency measurement.

It's a bit like Cheeky except for extra back coverage and the mesh detailing top Photo by Thinx

Duration of hour wearing them: Around 6 hours. I recommend around 5 hours and change with another pair of Thinx or your usual go-to menstrual stuff. Day 3: Heavy day for me so I was debating between a Boyshort or a Hi-Waist. Settled for a Boyshort cause homegirl wants to feel sexy. I find boyshorts sexy but they can be uncomfortable af especially when they're trying hard to be a thong, as in they ride up your butt. First, they're tight but actually the comfiest boyshort I'ever worn because I don't really need to keep adjusting in the toilet (though they rolled up in the inner thigh). It absorbs really well.

Photo by Thinx

Duration of hour wearing it: Longer than the Cheeky. I recommend up to 8 hours. Day 4: This is somewhat medium to heavy day for me. I decided to try the Hi-Waist style. It was comfy. Despite being a high waisted brief, I feel kinda sexy (just like how I did with Boyshort) due to the sheer side with opaque middle design. I was skeptical about the sheer mesh because my experience with mesh ain't pretty like they tear easily but then again, I bought an shapewear in Bandung and the mesh is strong af. Like so strong it binds my stomach. Basically, I wore Hi-Waist for my BJJ class and I felt fine despite it cling to my body due to sweat. Other than that, it's fine. I don't feel any discomfort or wetness. I even forgot that I'm on period.

Do not fear the mesh. It's pretty strong. Photo by Thinx .

Duration of hour wearing it: About the same as Boyshort. Day 5: Day 5 is usually medium to light day. It can be my lightest day as well. It depends. My average is about 7 days. I'm using Sport style which is basically a bikini style except more coverage (yay!). Since it was my light day (though I felt that I bleed more today than yesterday), I felt dry throughout the day. No leakage or anything.

Now I know why it's called Sport. It's a bit like a sports short except you know, it's an underwear. Photo by Thinx

Day 6: Day 6 is my light day cause it's throughout the end of my period. So I decided to wear my Hiphugger (I bought 2) but decided to wear a pad with it. PS: I didn't wear the Thong. I have no courage to wear it yet.

Sorry, sis. Maybe some other time (or not)? Photo by Thinx

My thoughts Do they work? Hell yeah! I basically free bleed when I wear these babies. They absorb well and do the job. They're quite leak proof to an extent. Will I recommend them? Yes, for their functions. No, for the price. THINX ain't cheap, especially if you live outside USA. It costs about USD$24-39 per pair, depends on the style. Not only you have to take into account of currency conversion but also shipping fees and import duty. I was in the UK when I ordered it. The shipping was free since I ordered it during free shipping to UK promotion but I was slapped with about 15 GBP worth of import duty. Other than the price, what are the other downsides of THINX? Basically, you HAVE to know your own cycle. The heaviness or lightness of the flow depends from one person to another. I may have bleed more than one person and I may have bleed less than the other person. It was super hard to tell if you're 'full'. But then again, same thing for highly efficient absorbent pads (Kotex & Whisper, I'm talking to you). Basically, just treat THINX the same like you would treat your usual tampons, pads and cups. To a certain extent, if you wear them for too long, they WILL smell. So, despite them saying you can wear them all day long, please don't. At least, get those deodorant for intimate parts (though I don't recommend using them every single day). There is no other place to buy THINX other than their official website. There is no other way. Which actually sucks because they can run out really fast (especially the Hiphugger) and you will be competing with buyers from other parts of the world. Bummer. For those who are not used to it, you can't simply toss it into your washing machine with the rest of your laundry. Just don't. You have to rinse it first. You can either rinse it with just water or rinse it wish soapy water. I rinse mine with antibacterial hand soap. Might be mafan to some of you. However, if you're either from South/Southeast Asia or a Muslim, it might old news for you since we girls have been rinsing our pads/tampons/cups since we got our first one. Don't worry, the blood comes off well. Yes, there will be blood coming out so be prepared to bleach your sink or bathtub or the basin or wherever you guys rinse it. Who do you recommend it to? People who are willing to experiment on period panties. People who already know how their cycle is. People on the go People who are physically and socially active (that means you exercise and go out to meet your friends often, you nasty!) Basically, here are the pros and cons of Thinx underwear. Pros: It functions well Comes in different styles and absorbency rate Cute and stylish Comfortable It feels like a normal underwear Light Reusable Machine washable Stains come off easily while rinsing A really good investment You might forget that you're on your period Cons: Expensive Limited colours (only in beige and black) Not available in retail or wholesale You can only get them at the official website Non US customers will have to bear expensive shipping cost and import duty Not suitable for long wear if you have heavy flow (heck, even if your flow is pretty light, you ain't supposed to wear it all day anyway) Prolonged wear (ie: wearing them for a long time without changing) can make your Thinx reeked Not suitable for tumble drying Rinsing the underwear can be troublesome for some It's really hard to tell if it's 'due for changing' My favourite: Hiphugger, Boyshort & Sport
