I really need to write Super Villainess because I think reincarnation isekais have such interesting potential for exploring the discomfort of bodies.
Getting suddenly shunted into a brand new body, a fully grown brand new body, and feeling like a toddler as you try to navigate the ways this new body works. You have to figure out how to walk again. You keep accidentally biting your tongue because you aren't used to the contours of your teeth anymore.
Nothing tastes the same, nothing feels the same. You suddenly love foods you used to hate. You suddenly hate foods you used to love. You have to relearn the shape of your mouth, the way your mouth forms words. Relearn what your voice sounds like, keep talking to yourself and other people until maybe it finally doesn't sound foreign. Until it finally sounds like 'you'.
You have to get used to textures again. You have to relearn your menstrual cycle. You get PMS symptoms you didn't used to get. You don't have seasonal allergies anymore, but you do suddenly have food allergies.
You're shorter than you used to be. You feel too slow because your strides have suddenly shrunk. Your line of sight is all wrong. You keep misjudging distances because you forget about that. You shiver more easily than you used to. You overheat more easily than you used to. You suddenly have to relearn what hunger feels like, what thirst feels like.
You'll learn this body like you learned your last one, eventually, but it will start with discomfort and pain and it won't be pleasant.

bedsharing (future stobin lavender marriage) (steddie)
“Why do you have tampons in your bathroom?” Eddie asks, toweling off his hair. “Wouldn’t your mom just keep them in hers?”
“They’re Robin’s.”
He can feel Eddie’s eyes on the back of his neck, and turns around from where he’s hastily folding his clothes. He has another towel wrapped around his hips, and Steve’s gaze drifts there before snapping back up to his face. 
“What?” He asks.
“I thought you guys weren’t together.”
Steve sighs. “Just because I have tampons for when she stays over—“
“It’s just—why wouldn’t they be in the guest bathroom?”
“She stays in my room,” he says, and then realizes how that sounds. “Okay, yeah, but we’re not dating. That’s never gonna happen.”
“So you’re just hooking up?”
Steve instinctively makes a face, and Eddie’s eyebrows jut up. “No. I’m not her type, and even if I was, at this point that ball has left the court. I don’t like her like that, she definitely doesn’t like me like that, and next time Henderson tries to convince someone we’re soulmates I’m going to wring his little neck.”
“I thought you said you were soulmates.”
“Yeah, but not like that.”
“Just enough that she sleeps in your bed and has tampons in your bathroom, apparently.” Eddie bends over to wrap his hair in the towel, and Steve spends a long moment staring at the curve of his bare spine. 
“Hey, man,” he says belatedly. “We got caught off guard one time. I’m not doing that again.”
Two loads of laundry, and Robin had cried in anger and embarrassment. Steve of ‘83 would have found it disgusting. Steve of now was a little grossed out, but also had been bled on in ways much worse than a period, so he just took her out to milkshakes and stocked up on enough supplies to last for a lifetime. After that, all bets were off when it came to the few boundaries they had left. 
Eddie grimaces in acknowledgment, grabbing the pair of sweatpants on the bed. Steve turns around before the towel drops, because years of locker room experience can’t possibly prepare him for seeing Eddie Munson’s naked ass. 
“So no dreams of a white wedding and gaggles of grandchildren running around?”
“I mean, we’ll probably get married at some point,” Steve says absently, fiddling with his bedspread to keep from turning around. He can have self control. He’s capable of not ogling his friends. “It’ll be safer that way.” Shit, why did he say that? He might as well hang a neon sign that says QUEER over his head. “Easier,” he corrects himself, knowing damn well it’s useless. 
There’s a thud and a groan, and Steve whirls around to see Eddie on the ground, halfway into his pants. 
“Are you okay?”
“So you’re not together, and you’re not hooking up, but you’ll get married?” Eddie demands from the floor, wiggling into his sweats. “And…what? Have a loveless, sexless marriage? Because it’s easy?”
“Just because the love isn’t romantic doesn’t mean our marriage would be loveless,” he protests, mind whirling with excuses he can’t use. Why did he open his big mouth? Why couldn’t he have just said anything else?
“That’s what you’re focusing on?”
“I don’t know what to tell you, man,” he shrugs, trying to get his heartbeat under control. “We’re already going to spend the rest of our lives together. Might as well get some legal benefits out of it.”
“Sure, sure,” Eddie laughs, disbelieving. “Getting married for legal benefits and safety. Harrington, if I didn’t know better, I’d say this sounds like—“
“Sounds like what?” Steve cuts through what Eddie was about to say. He doesn’t know what it is, but there’s a bone-deep certainty that Eddie will end up on the truth if he keeps talking. “Are you coming to bed or not, man?”
Eddie falls silent in the middle of standing up, dark eyes pinning Steve to the spot. He knows, Steve thinks, and tries not to picture what Robin would say if he got another concussion. He hasn’t confirmed anything, and Eddie seems like a good guy, maybe even their kind of guy, but if he’s wrong then he’d better grab Robin fast and get the hell out of dodge. Dustin might forgive him eventually, if he knew the reason why.
The silence is getting unbearable. 
“Yeah, alright,” Eddie finally shrugs. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch. I want the left side.”
“You asshole,” Steve hisses, pretending the relief in his chest isn’t damn near killing him. “You know that’s the side I sleep on.”

My body is ripping itself to shreds in a monthly blood sacrifice sO
IEYTD menstration headcanons to make myself feel better
Handler has period supplies in his first aid kit in his desk just in case. He also has a list of things various agents crave while on their period and gifts them at least one snack during it to try and make their day better
Fabricator got a hysterectomy because she simply didn’t want kids and was sick of her period getting in the way of her work. Best decision she’s ever made, in her humble opinion.
Hivemind (I see him headcanoned as trans a lot and I’m now yoinking that into my own canon) makes his own candy bars out of honey and swears up and down that they’re a cure-all for cramps, acne, and anything else that comes with menstruating, and the most damning thing is he’s right.
Solaris hardly has cramps, but her cravings are downright insatiable. She could crush six chocolate bars and still accept an offer of a seventh without flinching, she has stolen Hivemind’s honey bars on multiple occasions.
Prism tries to do most of her work like nothing’s wrong, but the SECOND Robutler finds out that Prism is in pain and working they immediately just turn into helper mode. “No no Doctor P, I got the wrench! You stay riiight there :D”
Phoenix (Seraphina Phoenix I should clarify) has horrendous cramps. Like, can’t even walk, curl up in a ball and check back in 20 cramps. She also tries to pretend that said cramps aren’t happening. There has been more than one occasion that Handler happily peeked into her office, only to find her hunched over her desk and hating life.

If you expect me to be comfortable talking about periods being beautiful freeing experiences then I’m allowed to talk about how great it feels to take a massive shit. I’m serious btw.

is it bioessencialist to say I’m automatically more like the main character of a fanfiction than my partner because I bleed without being cut (/shitpost)
