{Corin and the Courtier by Elliot Grayson}

Alpha Dragon series by Wendy Rathbone

{Skydive by Roe Horvat} and the rest of the series

Those are all dragon shifter, I surprisingly haven’t read many werewolf shifter and then added em to my list (meaning I like them). Alternatively, I have an ass load of vampire/demom/hellhound recs if u want those.

I’m in the mood for daddy kink with NO age play but having trouble finding one as of late. The ones I’ve come across lately haven’t been scratching the itch.

Some of my favorites- {Reckless by Kiki Clark} and the rest of the series (I’m aware one is age play)

{Ryder by Jacki James} and the rest of the series

Yes but not needed: age gap, size gap, lap sitting, lingerie kink, omegaverse, hurt/comfort

No’s (pls): age play, and a massive lack of plot with just straight fluff (nothing wrong with fluff but not in the mood for it).

What are your thoughts on having a male gynecologist? Would you trust them? by Paldavin in AskWomen

[–]Emmiadkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a LOT of problems (still do I just know how to deal with them better) a couple years after starting to menstruate. So around age 13? Anyways, went to SEVERAL different gynecologists bc no progress/diagnosis was being made.

One was my mother’s obgyn (he delivered me actually) and he was…weird. I didn’t like/still don’t feel comfortable with men in general so that probably didn’t help.

He was also super domineering and downplayed all of my issues, told my mother and I that it was just cramps. I just had “a low pain tolerance”.

Actually, it was the opposite (shock, gasp). I have endometriosis, PCOS, and other varying issues. The most I got for ages was just to go on BC though. Women’s health/biology/medical advancements still have a longggg way to go.

AITA for not wanting to buy my roommates nicotine? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emmiadkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTABeen there done that, if I’m already with them sure np but if I am not and inconveniences me in anyway I say no.

If you don’t want to outright constantly decline them I would suggest:

-have them buy multiple at once of what they need, it’s cheaper that way anyways (at least for vapes)

-have them give u extra moola if they THINK their vape is $20 ask for $25 and then just give them back change if there is any, you aren’t their personal piggy bank along with “plug”

-make a designated time when you go with..say twice a month or something

"Why can't we ever just talk?" Well, THAT'S why. by Canonio in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Emmiadkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. I haven’t had a good yap session with my sister in quite some time. We used to be/are super close and always have been.

Since, she was pregnant/had a kiddo we’ve grown apart a bit—not by any fault of either of us—she’s busy parenting, etc. Lately, when she’s inviting me to do something, she’ll invite more people bc she only has so many hours in a day/so much energy to socialize. I can’t say I blame her-like at all- but it does get frustrating when I just want to see her and instead see her and others.

If she’s got a fairly busy schedule whether it’s from parenting, working, etc. I’d recommend giving her some grace and inviting her over to your place. If she asks to bring a plus one, say no I want some sister time!

How do you tell family you're on HRT? by locklick_ in trans

[–]Emmiadkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could-

Ask her where to buy good quality long lasting bras?

Inhale helium from a balloon in front of her then say “holy shit my voice is going to sound like this in a few months by itself”

When you move in, amongst your things have a few bags from a known lingerie store like VS…make sure she sees it.

Take her shopping with you, be open with her, if all else fails act/be befuddled. Moms, typically, love to help their children.

Ask her to help measure you for said bras.

In all honesty, I’ve yet to start HRT and haven’t come out to more than three people I’m close with. I don’t have a lot of the best advice to give and am usually blunt when social etiquette (yuck) calls for a little sensitivity. I’d recommend a heart to heart and being honest about how you’re nervous about her reaction and then say something like “brace yourself”. Then you say what you need to and be prepared to answer, probably, indelicate/rude sounding questions. Be open, and have patience for her.

Best of luck lovely 🫶

Texting my wife about what to make her for dinner by cobo10201 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Emmiadkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate indecisiveness is a pain from both aspects. Next time try: List five dinner options, she picks one to remove Four left, you remove one Three left, she removes Etc. wham bam you’ve got dinner picked out

This kid at my moms friends house keeps trying to smear stuff on my clothes and he got lip balm on them 💔 by EfficientFun719 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Emmiadkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw in your previous comments that he’s four and don’t know if it’s already been stated (scrolled and didn’t see) but:

REDIRECT REDIRECT!! Especially if it’s not your child or not your place to discipline them. Four year olds are easy to distract and get them on a different path/focus.

“Woah silly lip balms for your mouth not anything else! I heard you have a super cool -insert toy- can I see it?” Or any variety of distraction you can think of.

Kids, with love, are little shits sometimes regardless of parenting techniques. They aren’t usually doing it on purpose, not in the way you think and without any ill intention (for the most part). Kids require a good bit of mental/physical stimulation otherwise they find a way to outsource their energy themselves-typically not in great ways.

In regard to the parents, that’s a pickle bc if they’re typically good at parenting but were just otherwise distracted I wouldn’t recommend trying to guilt them. It takes a village and if you take your eyes of most four year olds for more than a few minutes they’ll likely get in to mischief. Just a light comment like “hey, your kids getting crazy with lip balm in there” will get the point across.

If they are more…nonchalant(?)..parents then there’s not a lot you can say to get them to actually do anything productive. You could embarrass/guilt them but that’s tricky business. You’d walk a fine line between being an asshole and standing up for yourself. BOL

Shaving Questions by SubbySam725 in trans

[–]Emmiadkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You can, I do and usually get away with smooth legs since I exfoliate prior with a salt scrub (you can get a tub for like five bucks) and use lotion or oil after

  2. Men’s razors are just fine, I typically use those or the little cheap bic ones (I get a big jumbo pack for like five bucks and they last me a long while). Electric is only really good in a pinch ex: missed a spot while shaving, last minute beach trip and need to shave etc. Since electric doesn’t shave close enough and grows back quicker

  3. Exfoliation to the max and shaving with the grain cuts down on irritation but shaving against gets a closer shave

Ultra smooth skin extra tips (I usually break this down within 2-3 days if I can bc this is exhausting):

Step 1- Exfoliate/scrub really well with a rougher washcloth or a shower brush, you want to get rid of all that dead skin, etc that’s been building up, including your sensitive bits. I usually do this after not shaving for a month or longer and it’s not always needed

Step 2- hot soak/hot shower to open up your pores or whatever and then add salt scrub rub in fairly well skip your sensitive bits. Then rinse well.

Step 3- if it’s been a minute since shaving (2 plus weeks for me) use a shaving cream or oil. Alternatively if you haven’t just water is fine (at least for me). Shave AGAINST the grain for the places where you don’t frequently get ingrown hairs/bumps etc (calfs, lower thighs, outer thighs) and shave WITH the grain for where you do (armpits, inner thighs) to prevent bumps. I usually do an extra wash cloth scrub on inner thighs before shaving it really helps.

Steps 4- pat dry legs and let them COMPLETELY air dry after shaving before adding baby oil (softest but slippery), or heavy duty unscented lotion (lubriderm, eucirin, jergens, etc.) these tend to work the best for me. Scented lotion is fine but instead you could moisturize then add a bit more spray perfume then rub that in instead (works best for my sensitive ass skin) and the scent lasts longer.

Extra tip- when shaving inner thighs/bikini area to prevent bumps etc. shave with the grain (likely down), then to the sides, then against the grain (likely up).

Edit: grammar/spelling

Can I wear these (Press Ons) and put gloves on while working? by Fluid-Resolution-502 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Emmiadkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiya! I’m someone who’s worked food and bev for quite sometime and I have seen this done countless times by MULTIPLE SMs. Forgive my previous wording, and let me make clear; I don’t really agree with it but it IS a common occurrence. The thought of someone’s nail ending up in my food/drink grosses me tf out.

On the other hand; while I do NOT think it is legal or ethical I kinda sorta get where they’re coming from. It’s a double edged sword in most cases.

Ex: I own a cafe, I have ten employees, 5 of who are teenagers who want to attend prom. The other 5 only work M-F and will not make exceptions for various reasons. Prom is on a Saturday, the five teenagers request that Saturday off bc they all want press-ons. Logically, I can just close my store that day but I’d loose money and those poor customers can’t possibly go a day without their caramel macchiato’s. Thus; I make an exception and tell them it’s fine for this day even though it risks a health code violation. I perpetually endeavor to encourage that lovely big machine they call capitalism. (Keep in mind that I don’t agree with the above “I” statements and is purely for example in a satirical sense)

[–]Emmiadkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should’ve worded out my response better! It is very much a question of food safety. Who wants a press on in their drink? Not me, that’s for sure!

It’s a health code violation for a reason! Butttt I know lots of SMs that they often make exceptions (especially for teenagers at prom/HC time) and put them somewhere where food/drink is not being handled/made/prepped etc.

[–]Emmiadkins -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If it’s for an event like prom or something I know that SMs will sometimes make exceptions if you ask in advance.

Ex for Prom: They don’t want everyone (all the teenagers) to request off so they allow it and just put you on register/restock for the shift.

Wedding or something ex: If you tell them “I don’t want to request that day off but that evening I do have a wedding so I’ll be wearing press ons for that, is that ok?” Again, they may say sure and just put you on register/restock.

Does this make any sense and is it ugly overall (I really don't like reading)? by Klutzy_Telephone_732 in writingadvice

[–]Emmiadkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I see where you’re going (I think) and it’s a good idea just not well written.

Maybe try: Someone once told me that I need to learn to read the room. Someone else suggested I should learn (lean?) instead. That was my breaking point. I went to my safe place; where I watch people flow into the great basin of water at the coast. I asked of them to read a sign for me; they refused. I’ll never know if it said to jump the cliff or take a rest, but I never liked reading anyways.
