but now these shootings in atlanta make it so very real and in my face. i live pretty close there and it’s like my aunt who’s a nail tech goes there pretty often for supplies. idk i just need everyone to be aware of how bad this is getting.

lately i just see ppl completely brushing aside anti asian racism. you have no idea how many comments i’ve seen saying that asian ppl are basically white... it’s laughable bc we have never been treated as such. especially for me being a tan SE asian. it’s like ppl forget about SE and south asians who are very much being targeted as well. i don’t even know where i’m going w this! it’s just frustrating. idk do what you can maybe donate or smth especially since you guys heavily consume asian media like show up for us too not just for our culture

How do you know that's now exactly what they're doing?

Windows show reflections, after all...

A didn't have an affinity with staring at windows before the MC arrived.

Plan B is currently available over the counter, and you can find coupons for it online for various retailers; some of those coupons require a prescription so check the coupon details carefully. Both of these medications can be ordered online.

Plan B and Afterpill in the 1.5mg tablets are less effective for people over 176 pounds, however it is safe to double the dose, so if you are heavier order two doses. Ella is also effective for heavier people, but requires a prescription.

Emergency contraception is effective for a short period after sex. You need to take Plan B or Afterpill within 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.

IUDs and birth control implants are effective long-term birth control that does not require your partner to participate in using the birth control or even be aware of it. IUDs are 99% effective and are effective for 3-12 years depending on type. Planned Parenthood can place an IUD for you, and so can many gynecologist's offices, and IUDs are covered under most health insurance plans. Talk to your doctor or gynecologist about how to get an IUD. Birth control implants are 99% effective and are effective for up to 5 years. Like IUDs, you can talk to your doctor or gynecologist, or visit Planned Parenthood, to get an IUD.

The birth control methods listed here are not effective for preventing STIs, they are for pregnancy prevention only.

Scarleteen also has a guide to self-managed medical abortions.

Much love🙏🏻

Oh, oh, I like this!!

I feel like it is on the spoilery edge, but I love it anyway...hehehe! :D

Adam/Ava: "You are allowed to be loved, especially by them."

Nate/Nat: "They will still love you. It's all right."

Farah/Felix: "Your instincts were right. They came for you."

Mason/Morgan: "You were in love with them right from that moment, you moron."

-

Some of these are in relation to very specific things that will happen... :D

This is the CANON skin tone for M (Tone and undertone), provided for Sera herself. This is not M when they tan, this is THEIR NATURAL SKINTONE. They're clearly not white and they're also probably more dark skinned that you've been imagining them based on your "M is just tan lol" comments.

This was the skintone Nai used.

If you don't see a problem with it, then you should be doing a self reflection yourself, instead of disregarding the feelings of the people hurt by it. Also the fact some of you don't care because you've been imagining M as a white person with a tan and are proud to keep doing it... Whitewashing isn't cute, if you're going to do it at least keep that shit to yourself.

Welcome to your next big adventure. Buried Love. The show where we test whether romance really is dead. When your friends entered you into this dating show you never thought you’d get selected, but here you are, a moment away from potentially meeting the love of your life

Fed up with seeing you get picked up and dropped by a long line of emotionally deficient partners of the human variety, your friends decided to take your fate in their own hands and enter you into a dating show with a supernatural and mythical twist. It’s been years since the doors were thrown wide open and everyone realised that the creatures of myth, fantasy and legend were real, but appear on reality television…now that’s new.

Buried Love is an interactive fiction project, and you can currently play the first part of the game here . It’s free to play, and I intend to keep it that way. I love working on this story and I hope you love going on an adventure with the characters.

The version of the game linked to above is the first 3 days (out of a total of 20).

GENRE: Mystery, Action/Thriller, Romance

DEMO || KOFI || FORUM

BASIC PREMISE

You were one of the most promising detectives within Gaile City, bearing a reputation for exposing the crimes of influential people together with a partner.

Until one single mistake drags your name down to the ground.

A few months pass, and an attempt to rectify that same incident and fix your honor gets you involved in a suspicious probation. You find yourself entangled in webs of conspiracies and betrayal with each step you make, and you will have to make wise decisions to discover the truth, especially with the enigmatic hallucinations plaguing certain people and the recurring explosions that may change everything.

Maybe you can also discover the meaning behind the detective’s strange dreams, and ‘use’ them to know the secrets that linger beneath your current situation and how they connect with everything else.

Just beware of the shadows of the past lurking around as you do so.

Features:

Play as male, female, or non-binary.

Create your own character’s name, appearance, sexual orientation, and motivations.

Reclaim your reputation as the hero of the city or be viewed as a corrupt detective, while having the choice to hide your true intentions.

Cultivate your relationships (romance, friendship, alliance, hostility).

Let past sins be forgiven or slowly go down the path of revenge.

Four romance options (two gender-selectable)

Develop favored skill sets.

Decide whether or not to use a certain different 'skill’ with unknown costs.

Find out the secrets of the city and choose what to do with them.

Choose to save or sacrifice people.

Learn the truth about your family.

Mysterious hallucinations, explosions, and more!

Romance Options

Finn/Faye Wesley

Age: 24 Appearance: Wavy light brown hair, hazel eyes, fair skin

Wesley’s a journalist who has been with you for a decade, getting into countless troubles since you were teenagers. Despite being groomed from a rich and privileged family, they chose to take on a different life dedicated on exposing crimes of influential people (including their own family). It was a partnership built on genuine trust, until it became clear that they knew more than they were letting on. And now that the city is on the verge of destruction, they will invade your life once more, whether you like it or not.

Ethan/Elyse Alonzo

Age: 30 Appearance: Short black straight hair, brown eyes, brown skin

They despise you, and you have no idea why. All you know is that they wouldn’t take their eyes off you…and not for a pleasant reason (at least at first). But beneath all the hostility and resentment, there are certain times where you could see them giving you a semblance of respect. It’s faint and deeply buried, but it’s there.

Alonzo won’t hesitate to kill for justice, as if they’re chasing something you’re not aware of. Maybe it’s all connected. Maybe you can either find out the truth on your own or break through their shields to know what they’re looking for. And what you did to make them loathe you.

And maybe - just maybe - it will be the start of a meaningful relationship.

Owen Russell (m)

Age: 26 Appearance: Short black hair with soft curls, blue eyes, dark skin

Owen is a resident doctor at the hospital your father built. Unlike most of the people living within the city, he chose to be there. He chose to do his job at the worst possible place, and he doesn’t even regret it (for now). Selfless, responsive, family-oriented. He’s a man of integrity, and he would place saving lives above all else.

But of course, no one could ever be spared from the cruelty that the city brings upon its dwellers. As Owen gets entangled in the vicious cycle of crimes, his ideals will be tested and you can either stay beside him to help him remain the way he is, or push him toward the abyss.

Jade Stein (f)

Age: 22 Appearance: Long wavy auburn hair, brown eyes, brown skin

Even with the same background and struggles, Jade couldn’t be any more different with her brother Richard. She’s a reporter, and while she didn’t have reservations targeting powerful criminals, she did so by planting rumors and evidence of her own.

Jade’s a blunt woman. She’ll always tell you how she feels about your every action. No hesitation. But that doesn’t mean she has no secrets of her own. Despite the strained relationship she has with Richard and the things he has done, she’ll never leave him to die, and she’ll do anything to ensure that.

While there are skill checks present in the game, it’s not necessarily a win or lose situation. There will be unique content for every skill and every stat check outcome (definitely not as simple as the prologue) plus different ways to approach them. What matters more are the decisions you will make and the relationships you will have.
