one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"
the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.
Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
ACCIDENTALLY HIT POST ON SMTH I WASN'T FINISHED ON, TRIED TO COPY THEN DELETE IT AND I JUST COPIED THE FIRST SENTENCE AND LOST IT ALL I WROTE IT IN A HAZE IM SO PEEVED.
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

-------
While period pains and cramps are unfortunately very common for girls your age yours are just a little different for the average ones, they're nearly debilitating.
If your lucky, curling up in the fetal position with your darling boyfriend Remus behind you holding the curve of your underbelly and a hot water bottle makes the first few days bearable enough it get through it.
However. There are times where that doesn't work, and pain potion doesn't work, and the 2 pills of muggle meds doesn't work either and you're left in utter pain, stubborn and irritable to your lover who just wants to help.
You feel bad of course, but being stubborn as hell for an hour and a half you flat out refuse more medicine than you deem necessary because your of the belief that you'll eventually find a position that eases your uterus.
...
And the position you find this time is standing and walking around. Which is simply not going to work cause you're already tired. ... you tried it of course for a solid 10 minutes,
Did not work.
So you reread the label of the muggle medicine and take 3 more pills.
You find the best position after that with a blanket and pillow on the floor, in the end passing out on your side for a solid 3 hours.
Remus of course, laying beside you and rubbing your side, mildly uncomfortable himself but overall relieved you finally found some relief as he could tell you were nearly going to start crying and lose your mind from the pain.
When you wake up it's uncomfortable, but manageable. A hand wrapped around you in a comforting gesture.
You turn your head slowly, a lazy, exhausted smile tugging on your lips as your hand comes up and rests against his on your side.
"Hi Love.." you hum, voice a little broken and quiet from sleep.
"Hi Lass.." he responds just as quietly, his own smile pulling through at your apparent relief.
You sit like that for a few minutes, then Carefully shift onto your other side to curl up into him on the floor, your leg wrapping around him, already rather clingy after the relief set in.
While of course Remus loved you and loved your clingyness, he didn't exactly love laying on the hard stone floor over a thin blanket.
"... Lass do you think it'd be more comfortable cuddling in bed?" He asked carefully, arms already wrapped around you completely.
That received a whinish groan from you of course. "Mhhh.. it would.. but I don't wanna get up and risk it.." you reason quietly, though the bed does sound rather comfortable.
He sighed but smiled, rubbing your back for a moment more before carefully shifting with his arms around you and standing with you in his arms. Carrying you the short distance to bed, carefully laying you down.
The slight pout that immediately formed on your lips after he let you go soothed the moment he joined you in bed, causing you to curl up and practically wrap your body around his all over again.
"your like a big stuffed animal.." you mumble into him, head already buried in his chest as his arms wrap around you in turn, once more rubbing your back soothingly with one hand, the other curling up into your hair and massaging your scalp.
"yeah?.. well then I s'pose I get to have you after a bad day.." he hums, smiling and pressing and kiss to the crown of your head, resting his chin atop you afterwards.
A giggle slips through your lips at that "you already have me after a bad day for either of us.." lifting your head to look up at him from that.
His eyes soften (if they could anymore with how much love and care he felt for you already) "I know, I'm only joking love"
You sigh and shake your head, smiling, ready to give a sweet rebuttal but are cut off by a loving kiss to your lips, to which you respond easily. Melting into into him when his hand comes up to tenderly cup and caress your cheek.
It's like a balm to your soul of utter reassurance of love and care.
When your lips part you just smile, rebuttal long gone as you bury your head back into his chest. Both of you utterly content and relaxed.
Bonus content:
Remus was the first of the marauders to learn about periods purely because he freaked the fuck out when Lily and you smelled like blood and saw no bleeding in 3rd year, (because werewolf and heightened senses y'know) you both gave the shorthanded explanation.
He freaked out even more when you passed out in the middle of class right beside him.
He proceeded to learn everything about periods that day and honestly assumed James, Sirius, and Peter already knew about periods and NEVER mentioned it to them.
They did not until a few years later.
I also feel like Remus would NEVER make fun of you or any other girl or joke about periods at all, cause honestly? He immediately connected it to his own transformations into a werewolf during the full moon.
One time when the other boys were joking about periods and weren't taking it seriously (pun not intended) he got genuinely angry at them and told them off, and you know remus, the soft boy who rarely gets angry to tell someone off. ... It scared the boys shitless and set them straight real quick.

So I'll be honest.. this is my third onshot/drabble, idk the term anymore it's been a long time man. (IM NOT THAT OLD I SWEAR 😭) The second one is uh. It's Christmas themed and Its not quite finished yet but I was wondering your guys opinions on releasing a Christmas fic/ oneshot in June.
Anyways, thank you for reading, all reblogs and comments are appreciated, I hope all my fellow period pill popping girls feel better! (Pms pills ofc.)
