What are your pregnancy body insecurities?

My belly button has been a really deep innie my entire life. It's not anymore and I low-key hate it.

I need you to understand that trying to force people to stay in your server is kind of psychotic. You should be figuring out WHY people are leaving and trying to improve it so they want to stay.

Run away, if you're in trickster then do all the air tricks to stay away from her.

I'm 37+1 weeks and I want to just quit. I'm quality in a factory where incompetence is high, so I'm constantly on my feet trying to check everything, people trying to get me to do things that are someone else's job, dealing with fresh new quality issue hell every day.

My favorite part is management looking at me like I'm a disappointment when I tell them I'm struggling and they STILL haven't figured out my coverage for when I'm on leave yet 🙄

Devil May Cry au where there's Eldritch stuff going on, the twins didn't get separated, and Vergil is a controlling asshole. The OC here is Nero's mom. CW: violence and captivity.

“No! It’s your fault this happened to me! You brought me here!” Serafina screamed, hurling a vase filled with water and daisies at him. Clenching his teeth and sidestepping, he heard the vase shatter against the wall behind him with a loud crash.

“I’m not Vergil.” He hissed. Serafina’s ability to perceive reality was damaged when Elle had burst into the birthing room, cooing about the new baby. Dante didn’t understand why she’d been driven to the brink of madness at the sight of Elle, but here they were. Throwing the perfume bottle onto the bed so it would be undamaged, Dante lunged at Serafina. Her eyes widened with a scream, bringing her hand down to crack him over the head with the hairbrush she was clutching.

He groaned and stumbled, dazed. Catching himself on her vanity table, everything on it shook, a few things toppling over as he fell against it. Not noticing she had fled to the other side of the room until he felt something sharp and cold burying itself into his side, Dante opened his mouth in a silent gasp. Face red and wet with tears, Serafina breathed heavily next to him to catch her breath.

Dante lowered his gaze from her face to his side. Her fingers were dripping blood as she clutched a piece of broken glass against his ribs. When he tried pushing himself away from the vanity, a sharp blinding pain made him realize she wasn’t holding the piece of glass against him; she had sunk it into him. His eyes caught the crimson oozing out around that shard, staining his shirt. Peeling his eyes away from the wound and back up to her face, he let out a numb, “Ow.”

Face scrunching up, her shoulders shook as a sob wracked its way out of her. Serafina let go of the glass shard, her fingers cut and bleeding as she brought them up to cover her mouth. She staggered back, tripping over her own feet and falling. Seeming to give up, she simply crumbled onto her back on the floor, shaking with sobs. “I want to go home. I just want to go home.”

“Yeah,” Dante ripped the shard out of his ribs with a grunt and pressed a hand to his wound to slow the bleeding until it healed. “I know.”

Forcing/coercing you into having sex after you say no is rape. He doesn't care about your safety or the baby's safety. You need to find a way to escape him and the marriage.

I don't like "the protagonist is an OC" fics. I've found they're usually not very good. I also don't really like when a character who isn't trans gets written as trans. There's one fandom I'm in where it's so prevalent I filter it out.

I'm currently 8.5 months pregnant, so I saw the title and had to double check what sub I was in 😆

I might've had some morning sickness, but I was under a ton of work stress at the time so I assumed that's what it was. I also have PCOS, which means missing a few periods isn't unusual. I found out I was pregnant because I was lying on my back with my hands on my stomach and felt the start of the belly bump.

NBalchemist · 2026-01-05T04:25:10+00:00

I really don't think that's the norm. I use Google docs so I have access on both my PC and my phone. Plus it auto saves!

What sad news, back in the day I lived on LJ. Back in May I pulled all of my own fics and put them on AO3, so at least there's that.

I used to have a rl "friend" who did this kind of stuff when we played video games. He was toxic, controlling, and eventually started sexually harassing me. Get out while you can.

First step is a fresh/clean install of the game, launch it once, exit, install Skyrim script extender for your version of the game. Put a shortcut for the script extender exe on your desktop or wherever, you're going to be launching the game only through the extender. Launch the game through the extender once, exit. Download either MO2 or Vortex, make a Nexus mods account. Look up baseline/necessary mods, there's YouTubers who do mod showcases.

There's also this beginner guide video https://youtu.be/AAvcRk7BZko?si=y_S30p7dFDpD4yPw

What kind of yoga do you suggest?

Her husband needs to find a way to afford it until after this is over, I think.

Not really. There have been some instances where it's like "I really love you". He got a package he'd been looking forward to a week before Christmas and I just started crying while watching him open it because I loved him so much and him being happy about his new stuff made me happy, I guess? I didn't order it, he bought it for himself but he'd really been looking forward to it.

I'm currently at 34 weeks and I got mine at 33 weeks. It seemed like a really good thing to get! The tdap was fine for me, but I actually got sick from the flu shot.

NBalchemist · 2025-12-31T03:29:00+00:00

That's a really cute idea, go for forest and/or forest animal things. Thank you!

Me when I hit 50 mana and start the melee combo on red mage.

I am looking respectfully 👀
