Oh, so you're cold-ridden, you pretty thing... Well, I wish you'd ride me with your cold. 😈

I've had a really rough day (important and yet not very informative meeting that took all my energy and still didn't make the future any clearer) and I really miss my kitty. When I got home from a rough thing I used to put my face into his fur and he just... calmed me by purring and loving me.

God, I miss him. He was my best boi. 😭💔💖

When very elegant, strict women have a completely uncontrollable, loud/forceful sneeze that they can't hold back or stifle to save their lives so they don't even try. 🥵😈😏🥰😍

(or they try and consistently fail).

Then allergy season rolls in, or they catch a spectacularly sneezy cold... 😏

[freefallen-snx]

okay but that single raised finger in a 'wait a second' motion when someone feels a sneeze coming 🪦

[suddencolds]

does anyone else feel like they have specific writing weaknesses :')

It kinda is in my fics nowadays... 😏😆

Okay maybe not quite, but, like... I tend to imagine the character's age as the actor's age if it's not explicitly stated how old they are, so Ingrith and also Claire would be over 60, soooo... 🤷🏻‍♀️😏 We're not too far off.

IRL allergies

I opened my windows earlier today and I've sneezed four times since then. Yesterday I opened my windows and I sneezed six times over the course of the day. I don't normally sneeze that much naturally (I'm photic, but I haven't been staring at the sun/bright sky), and I wasn't sneezing last night or early this morning, only since I opened the windows, which is sus. It's all been singles and I feel like my nose is more sensitive, but it's not really itchy between the sneezes? Sometimes it starts to run like crazy though, just super watery drip, and then it stops again. 😆

The past ten years or so I've tended to get itchy throat and eyes when hazel and alder bloomed, last year and the year before I sneezed a bit after taking walks when they were in bloom. But this year alder and hazel season came and went with no reaction. Birch trees started up, but I didn't feel anything, even when it was at high. So this was weird, like what is it now?

Well, birch and grass are at low in my area. But OAK is at high. OAK??!! Okay, well.. there are quite a few oaks in the woods around my town, so I guess it makes sense, especially on windy days like these, but that's hilarious, it's like my body keeps changing its mind about what's a threat. I feel fine otherwise, so I'm not getting sick. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

A piece of dialogue between my professor OCs, the non-kink edition. (I'm trying to not think too much about next week, but it's damn near impossible to get out of my head enough to actually produce any writing. But I've got this, at least, lol.)

***

"Now that we're confessing things... your reading glasses?"

"Yes. What about them?"

"They don't have any strength, do they? I saw you reading through the agenda for the budget meeting last week without them and you didn't even squint."

"You are correct. My vision defect is minimal, the glasses are simply a prop. I realised decades ago that if a student has forgotten their assignment, just staring at them over the rim of a pair of glasses makes them so nervous they're never going to forget another assignment. It saves me hours of nagging."

"Oh my God! You, my love, is a genius! A manipulative but absolute genius."

"I know. And what about you? What educational tricks do you hide up your sleeve?"

"You know my brand of dramatic, theatrical lecturing?"

"A technique I hate to admit is concerningly attractive, yes."

"Ha, I have you fooled too! It's because I absolutely cannot remember the lecture I mean to give if I don't turn it into a spectacle! I have to picture the historical events we're talking about and dramatise the whole thing as if I'm there in the scene, or I'm gonna blank out on the whole course of events."

"I'm impressed, my dear."

Sorry for being MIA, things are going on in my life that I have no power over but that will impact me hard. 🤷🏻‍♀️😩 I'm still here, I just don't really know what to write.

[blooming-trees]

Hehe. 😆

Okay, new rule for my older lesbian professor OCs, effective immediately 😆

Leah has a sensitive nose (dust, scents, spices) but no actual allergies, and she is the one who always sneezes in threes. She has a strong sneeze that she can stifle one or possibly two but NEVER all three in the triple. Despite her sensitive nose, she likes spicy food and she likes scented candles and incense sticks and potpurri and stuff like that too. Because she lacks any self preservation. 🙄😂

Clarissa isn't particularly sensitive unless she's allergic, (she's allergic to dust and grass) but when she sneezes, she will not be able to stop until she blows her nose. It's physically impossible for her. They can come rapidly sometimes but usually her fits are more drawn out. Usually quite loud - which she hates - and hard to stifle. She would avoid her allergens when possible but she's not going to pass up on some sexytime with Leah in the archive or library, dust be damned. 👀😏

So yeah, new canon for those two because yes. 😁

[blooming-trees]

Someone who, once they start sneezing, absolutely cannot stop until they blow their nose. 😏

Unfortunately they're terrible at remembering to carry tissues or handkerchiefs with them. 😈

Random thing about my OCs. 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

My OCs Leah and Clarissa, see... when their affair had just been going on a couple of months, Clarissa began withdrawing, and Leah thought she had tired of her, because she's too intense. (to be fair, a valid fear because she is very intense and it's not the first time someone has gotten burned out by being around her for a prolonged period of time). But the truth was that Clarissa's allergy season was starting and she was too embarrassed about letting Leah know, because she would either be an unmedicated sneezy mess or medicated and too sluggish to have the energy to both keep up her legendary lecturing quality and her love affair with Leah.

Leah, very relieved to finally find out that her lover was just embarrassed about being allergic: "Oh honey... here I've been worried that you wanted to break things off with me, and all this time you've just been too shy to tell me you're allergic because you think I can't handle a little bit of snot??"

Clarissa: "Are you... are you laughing?! My dear, I am under siege by the local flora, and you find it amusing? For the record, it's not 'a little bit', it's a lot. I'm either drowning without medicine or falling asleep with it. There is absolutely nothing amusing about that!"

Leah: "Aww, you are adorable when you get so indignant."

[blooming-trees]

Not sure if I'm gonna write this as a fic or if I'll just write the one where they're both affected by dust in the archive, is there any interest in this scenario as a fic? 🤔😅

[oh-no-my-hand-slipped]

A sneeze that is so loud you can hear it from the other room. So loud that it interrupts conversations and causes people to look at each other as if to say, “What was that? Who was that?”

Perhaps it is confirmation of the group’s worst fears, that perhaps the flu they had just gotten over had spread farther than they thought.

Or the only sound that can alert someone of their plight, like a cry for help.

Cw: contagion, cw: sneezing on/around food

She is cooking/baking for several people, but she has a very sneezy cold. She tries really hard to cover (into her elbow, or her shoulder, maybe her apron), or at least turn away every time she needs to sneeze, but they're getting so unpredictable... at least she's alone in the kitchen so no one sees her struggle, but she has already lost count of how many times she has accidentally sneezed uncovered by now. 😏

[blooming-trees]

As this thought is from the off-season Christmas fic I write, I thought of another thing related to that specific scenario:

Sneezing while decorating. 🥵 All over the decorations, openly in the air while putting them up, and maybe even onto the person handing the decorations to them from the box or whatnot. Not necessarily just the tree, but other decorations too. Or candles. Lightning candles for the mood and then sneezing on them so they go out. 😈

anyway, just wanted to add it. 😅
