(Also yes, I forgot to say - laying down helped me a ton with the woogies. Not at all with the sensation, but definitely the VS symptoms.)

Absolutely ask to recline at the very least, and I saw one recommendation to ask for an ice pack for your neck, which I could see being a huge help for a nausea response!

Good luck, my partner has a really unfun VS response too and I know it sucks :(

This (or any other as-needed anxiety med) might be worth exploring even just to rule it out! I find what symptoms of VS I do experience are exacerbated by physical anxiety symptoms. I’ve considered it, too; I tale hydroxyzine for shots even though I can handle them fine bc anxiety hits anyway lol.-

Thank you friend 💛
I do generally have the landscape leading up to the sensation figured out, but it’s kind of you to offer your experience, and I’m glad that helps you a little!

Funny story: as a kid getting updated shots, I tried to fight my mom for her car keys. idk where I thought I was going.

Oh man, my hand is a nightmare unfortunately haha, I’ve had a couple phlebotomists give up, so I always just point to my arm now. But I recall it still felt bad (probably bc they had to really go at it.)

Speaking of, have you heard of shot blockers? Those spiky disc things. I wonder if it’d serve a similar function to icyhot.

In the same vein I keep wondering if topical pain would help me, like if I could try shot blockers for draws…

I’ll think abt that ty

Yeah, I know not to look (bc it just affirms the weird feeling is a foreign body under my skin) and use basically every other accommodation in the book haha. That’s all helped make it suck less.

I just very specifically struggle with the sensation 😩

I’ve learned to just ask to lay down. What my best vein is. But god dude I wish they could just like knick my forearm or something??

Kindest blood draw ever was a phlebotomist who gave me a finger prick and kneeled on the floor while he squeezed my finger for a million years lol. What a bro. (2/3)

I hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime.

Thank you so much 💛💛💛

This is the final piece of this little series.
They all have a very personal and specific meaning for me, but you're welcome to see whatever reflection of yourself you want/need to in these.

I’m watching my communities be dangled as a distraction, a convenient horse to beat, anything to get people to look away from what’s going on right in front of the fucking curtains. It’s not even behind closed doors anymore.

I don’t fucking care!! Fuck your stupid burger and uwu relatable CEOs!!

We’re bleeding billions on a war nobody wanted, after our country tried very hard to gut every positive thing (including SNAP) citing govt financial savings. A lot of MN families require(d) food assistance/delivery due to fear of leaving their homes, thanks to govt harassment and profiling. -

I’ve avoided venting for the most part bc I know we’re all exhausted, and you can skip/hide this, but permit me this one please:

I could not give a single shit right now about fast food CEOs eating their own food. This isn’t a ha ha humor break from the horrors, it’s just fucking bleak.

I feel like you could bust out a disproportionate amount of these.

Feels appropriately weird for 2am:

I am three degrees of connection away from two separate Southpark poop jokes. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to elaborate lol.

For me, he’s functionally this every day.

Oh My Goddess panels. ‘What should I give yo a girl to make her really happy?’ ‘I dunno… a synthesizer?’

Aaand we're closed. 16 applications in the first hour holy cow, thank you all so much. <3

I've selected my applicants (listed on my Trello) and will be sending out invoices shortly. If you didn't get in this batch, I'll try to do another one very soon after this one's done!

Sounds good! <3

Trying SO hard not to color outside of the lines (and failing.)

Thank you 🥺

Yeah! <3 Want anything specific evoking that, or should I just wing it w/ the elements on the hoops ref? :>

August, thank you very much for being considerate of my time in this way. <3 I appreciate you.

"Pre-existing rubber/latex/etc characters" includes any piece of art where your character is already TF'd.

I ask for this on non-TF or thematic batches just so I can save myself time and save you money; characters are variably complex for squeakifying and this saves me dicking w/ fee structures!

Just send me a pic of anyone fully TF'd already if you have it, that's ok haha

Existing synthetic characters are a-ok!

These are functionally SFW - no hypno, no TF, no horny expressions, yada yada. But if you bring a critter who was already squeaky, that's fine!

Thank you!
I've got it on my (extremely not up-to-date) FA if you'd like to save it there.
