Demons And Drag Pt 2
Demons and Drag pt 2
Anitri and Surri sat on Jem's couch patiently as Jem brewed tea in the kitchen.
Anitri looked around the tidy apartment, staring at the rose mural on one of the walls. All other walls were white with forest green trims. It was rather peaceful with classical musical playing gently in the background.
A black fluffy, possibly fat, cat walked into the room, and stopped. Staring at the two strangers on the couch. It meowed loudly, fur puffing up on its neck.
"Lordie, leave them alone." Jem said as they walked in with a tea tray.
Anitri chuckled at the cats name. Surri narrowed her eyes at Jem. She's trying to understand the height difference. Yesterday Jem or Coco Rose as they're otherwise known, appeared to be about 6'5"yesterday. Now they seemed maybe 5'10". Seven inch shoes are nothing to sneeze at, but they perform in those. Wow.
"So," Jem started, "If you stay here, you will have to pay half the rent, along with obey a few rules."
The twins exchanged a look before Surri spoke their concern.
"What rules?"
Jem looked over the rim of their mug.
"No copulation in the apartment," Jem deadpanned, "Don't leave clothes in the bathroom unless you want them covered in fur, and don't touch my plants."
Anitri giggled over the use of the word copulation, while Surri rolled her eyes.
"Y'know, just because we're concubus, that doesn't mean we're sex fiends." Surri scoffed.
Jem quirked up their eyebrow in confusion and continued, "That's not what I was implying, sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm simply uncomfortable with any sort of happenings like that and do not wish for anyone to partake in such acts in my home. That would be a rule regardless of your race, species, gender or other components. Simply a boundary."
Surri was mildly surprising at how put together and generous Jem was being to them. She didn't exactly expect someone who knew them to be assassins to treat them so kindly, or even let them in their house.
"Oh, one more rule." Jem said, placing their cup gently on their coaster.
Anitri leaned his over, head on his hands as the were on his knees, "Yeah?"
"If you get blood on the floor," Jem said with a slight smirk, "Please use the rags in the purple bucket located next to the washer to wipe up the blood."
Surri wasn't completely shocked that Jem wasn't against their business but it's still appalling to hear someone so nonchalantly tell you that murder is okay.
"Well," Jem said, standing from their seat, "Do we have a deal?"
Anitri looks over to Surri with a smile. Surri sighs and stands.
"I believe we do," she answers, reaching out her hand to shake.
Jem smiles for the first time and shakes her hand.
"Let me show you the rooms."
Jem walked down one of the halls, Anitri hopping up to follow behind them quickly while Surri strolled along cautiously.
They walked by a door or two before reached the first room option.
It was a blank slate. It had a reasonable amount of space, a bathroom, and a sliding door closet. The floors were wood and the walls were pale grey. The window showed the city in all its underwhelming glory.
The next room was down the hall a bit more. It also had grey walls and wood floors but it had a smallish walk in closet, a two sink bathroom and a bay window overlooking the coast through the buildings.
"Dibs!" Anitri screeched, running to look out the window.
Jem turned towards Surri with a look that asked if she cared to challenge him. Surri shook her head with a chuckle.
Her brother may be the same age but he was so youthful. His spirit hasn't been crushed by the world yet.
'And we're going to keep it like that.' She thought to herself.
"Well," Jem's voice breach's Surri's thought, "If y'all need help moving in, feel free to ask, and if I'm not enough to help, I have a real eager to help friend."
Jem makes their way back down the hall towards the living room when they pause by the halls opening.
"Any questions?"
Surri remembered the busted up combat boots by the door that we're definitely to small for Jem.
"Whose boot are by the door?"
Jem looks over their shoulder with an almost quizzical look.
"They're Emily's."

“You’re too young to be so tired”
Madame my brain is melting out my eyes from exhaustion, will you shut up
“You’re too young to be in pain”
I will end you.
someone with speech difficulties is not "refusing to speak" to piss you off specifically. whether someone is able to speak or not is completely out of their control, and I can promise that you getting annoyed at them (or choosing to ignore their other communication methods) isn't helping
A drag performer who inspires me?
Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.
I absolutely adore his works and his music.
Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.
Despite my drag ocs...
My favorite LGBTQIA+ TV moment!
My by far favorite lgbt moment on TV would have to be the Ruby and Sapphire wedding on Steven Universe! It was so precious and the entire episode was sooooo good!!!
Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by
Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.
You. Are. Overstimulated.
People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.
These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.
Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time
Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!
Or if none matter to you at all, it’s all okay
You decide what relationships in your life are the most important. And who you're closest too. You decide what types of relationships matter to you most.
THIS!!! I personal have nightmares about my teeth falling out if I forget to brush them once, so I just kinda have to, but I know some people just... can’t. But I really hope y’all try! Your health, mental and physical are important.
“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
Help Me Get New Mobility Aids!!!
Happy Disability Pride Month! I initially wasnt going to make a post to try to get new mobility aids/tools, but I really need them, so what the hell.
I am a multiply disabled Black lesbian and I have been without proper supportive mobility since the start of the pandemic. I had many of my things broken or thrown away during this time period, and I thought I could go without but its been so long and I really cant anymore.
I need smart/ergonomic forearm crutches because regular forearm crutches wreck my fragile hypermobile wrists, I need braces for both legs and ankles, a shower bench and detachable showerhead. All of this combined is a bit over $550.
I REALLY need this, esp the crutches! My mobility and bodily autonomy would be GREATLY increased If I was able to get these items. I

TLDR?: Disabled Black Lesbian needs new mobility aids for increased mobility and autonomy.
