Apropos Sad Wet Scandinavian Zombies;

[rosesandthorns44]

Hypersomnia is kicking my ass today. Modafinil, Irish Breakfast Tea, and half of a lemonade Rockstar are doing NOTHING. WTF.

Blessedly, my coworker is letting me take a break to lay down while she watches the kids.

Belphegor (Seven Deadly Sins) ☁️ (helluva boss headcanons)

author note: these are my personal headcanons one of the seven deadly sins! this one goes out to Belphegor!! I know they do not have a speaking role, if there is more content for her, I will make a revamped version or what not idk really. I just really love Belphegor.

I will do one for each sin

this is sfw (18+)

-------------------------------------------------- ☁️ Belphegor has one of the world's softest furs. She is the number one cuddle bug, willing to cuddle with anyone who wants to. Her wool is like feeling fluffy clouds. You could touch them if you ask nicely! She is willing to help anyone with insomnia. ☁️ Belphegor is a fan of Dreamcore. As it gives her a sense of nostalgia and her dreams. She finds liminal spaces to be oddly comforting, despite how weird it all is. She loves all the surrealism of it all. It is a way she soothes her mind.

☁️ Belpehgor's favorite flower is lavender; not only is it pretty, but due to it is also able to help people sleep better. Lavender overall improves people's moods and sleeping patterns. She would often decorate her home with lavender flowers; when you first enter, you can feel the aroma of lavender. ☁️ Belphegor loves herbal teas and will make all sorts of tea. She would use tea to help people sleep. She loves the taste of the tea, finding it both calming and alluring. Chamomile tea is her favorite kind of tea, and she would make you tea if you asked for it, believing tea to be a good remedy. ☁️ Belphegor sleeps 12 hours a day, due to being the sin of sloth. She has built machines to do all the work for her. She loves her beauty sleep and has a natural ability to sleep anywhere and everywhere. Since she has a long neck, she can fall asleep with her head up and lying her head down; she constantly takes naps. She is a hard worker when needed. ☁️ Belphegor isn’t much of a talker but she is more of a listener. She is very attentive to people's emotions and can understand exactly how they are feeling. She may not say much, but she will do what she can to help you. You could talk to Belphegor about anything and everything. She will apologize if she dozes off in front of you talking.

☁️ Belphegor likes AsMR and will often do AsMR-type content if she has a YouTube channel. She is a very soft-spoken person and can be perceived as quiet.

☁️ Belphegor sees through her multiple eyes. She has a third eye, psychically and mentally. Her third eye in itself is connected to mystical intuition and insight. Her eyes are very sensitive; please do not poke them. She may have some psychic abilities, but either way may be unconfirmed. ☁ Belphegor is responsible for the hospitals and administering medications, which would be happiness pills, sleepy pills, party drugs, etc. Any pills that can cure or help any ailments are responsible for creating first aid kits. Basically, the Ring of Sloth has this type of technology, like the way they would help get insulin for imps, offering affordable programs for those who cannot afford healthcare.

☁️ Belphegor enjoys sipping milk and munching cookies. Her favorite kind of cookies are chocolate chips. She mainly likes to drink milk before sleeping or napping overall. They were her comfort food.

☁️ Her favorite musical artists depend. She prefers Melanie Martinez and Jack Stauber. She particularly enjoys listening to lullabies. Any time that music gives that sleepy or weird vibe, she is an instant fan. Her favorite songs are I’d Rather Sleep by Kero Kero Bonito, Tunnel Vision by Melanie Martinez, and Estranger by Jack Stauber. This girl likes Lemon Demon too.

☁️ Believe it or not, Belphegor’s favorite type of animal is the koala. Not only do they look soft and cuddly, but they are one of the animals with the longest sleep cycles. She really appreciates their small characteristics.

☁️ She is not a big drinker. But one of her favorite cocktails is called Blue Dream. It contains 2 ounces of blue curacao, 2 ounces of coconut rum, and 2 ounces of pina colada non-alcoholic drink mix topped off with whipped cream, but she would drink any cocktail.

☁️ Belphegor likes tarot cards and fortune-telling. She is willing to offer to tell you a fortune or do any tarot card reading of your choosing; this is one of her main niches. And she does it not because she has to but because she wants to.

☁️ Belphegor has a lot of pillows and a whole collection of stuffed animals. Her bedroom is like fluffy clouds. Her bed screams Dreamland. Her bedroom is very pretty. The image below is what I think her bedroom would look like

☁️ Belphegor and Bee have a sibling-type relationship, with Belphegor being the bigger sister and Beelzebub being the little sister to her. As a way to keep Bee from abusing the party drugs and not promote stealing, she wants the best for Bee in any that she can provide.

☁️ Belphegor prefers to remain neutral in situations, avoiding drama and controversy. The same during the court scene: she decided to stay quiet for a very good reason. She sees herself as a mediator and often tries to see both sides of each conversation. ☁️ Belphegor is techy savvy, she is able to work or fix any electronics, understanding its mechanics. Bring her anything that is technology and she would fix it. I like to think she was the one who invented the hell phones for the hellborn.

☁ Belphegor is very domestic; she would often be considered a caretaker of sorts and is exceptionally good with children and is known to both lull babies and children to sleep, letting children or babies snuggle up in her fur as she rocked them to sleep and she would be similar to this to her partner, showing how good of a parent she could be if she wanted to

☁️ Belphegor’s favorite color palette:

☁️ Belphegor’s nickname is Bel and will respond to those who call her nickname basically anyone who considers worthy and is her friend. She also doesn’t mind being called Belphie.

☁️ Belphegor loves the moon and the stars, she would be the one who often stargazes. Nights are absolutely beautiful in the sloth ring. She likes Stolas for his job and showing her love with Astronomy with him.

☁️ Belphegor has a secret flock of sheep, most of her citizens are goats. She is similar to Baphomet when it comes to her design and owning scented candles as she was considerably spiritually connected to candles.

☁️ Belphegor is the sixth strongest sin next to Asmodeus being the seventh strongest sin, it is unknown whether or not she would show off her power or not but she does not consider herself a show off.

☁️ Belphegor's Pokemon team: Jigglypuff, Espeon, Drowzee, Snorlax, Munna and Espurr

-Trystia, @nrcbookclub

*Vern sets down a tray with breakfast for Trystia*

If you can ummm... also eat properly for the um... rest of the day, I'll umm... consider it

[cyberstrm]

Can i request headcandons of the spiderverse Boys with a shy nurse reader who is constantly tired? Being nurse is a physically and mentally demanding job and i love the dynamic of superhero falling in love with a nurse, but if u don't want to make this request i understand

a/n: thanks for requesting!! as a future worker in healthcare i'm super excited for this request!!

HOBIE is sososo proud of you. he sees how passionate you are about your job and has so much respect for you. you bond over the fact you both save lives and help people, and both adore a night in after a particularly demanding day. while he finds sleepy y/n cute, he does wish you'd be kinder to yourself and take breaks. but he knows you won't, so does his best to support you with lots of hugs.

'you look exhausted, babe. cmere.'

MIGUEL is literally obsessed with you and your passion for work. he admires your kindness and your toughness. he sees how much you want to be strong and be okay, but he also see hows tired you are and just wants to hold you in his arms and let you rest. he knows you'd never leave your work or quit, so tries to make sure that when you get home, dinner is made and the kitchen is clean. he's so malewife tbh.

'i made dinner, mi amor. we could watch a movie after?'

PETER B is a sleepy bastard. he is also constantly exhausted from his work, so he understands. more often than not dinner is a takeaway or something really easy. on weekends or days where neither of you are working, you stay in bed for hours just cuddling and chatting, since you normally don't have time for stuff like that. but it just makes those moments more special, and he's so proud of you and your courage.

'nooo don't get up yet...i need more y/n time...'

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9

Today's (8/1/2024) Episode: Aging Up Is Hard To Do

After Noemi joined Luigi in adulthood, the pair struggled to settle into their new, older, stage of life.

Luigi had been busy after aging up, first grieving and then trying to make Noemi’s birthday perfect. When the vain sim finally checked his mirror, he was horrified by how OLD he looked. Wrinkles and bags under his eyes…!? The self-absorbed sim hated the marks time had left on his face.

It didn’t help his outlook that his eczema and anemia seemed to be getting worse, despite religiously sticking to his tried-and-true maintenance routines. He’d also begun to struggle with excessive thirst. None of it made it easy to meet his own high standards. Luigi was officially in a funk!

As for Noemi, she had finally set a date to start the job that Skye’s birth and her health issues had postponed, but it was messing with her head.

She worried that her social struggles would prevent her from making a good impression on her bosses and new peers. On top of that, her inability to exercise the way she wanted to since Skye’s birth due to her surgeries had left her carrying a lot more leftover baby weight than she liked.

The idea of facing her new co-workers and clients when she feeling far from her “best” kicked her anxiety into high gear.

When Luigi admitted his unhappiness with his new, older look and recent ill health it prompted his fiancée to admit to her own concerns.

Noemi suggested that, since Luigi was feeling under the weather, they start trying to tackle things with a visit to their doctors.

Hopefully, his primary care provider could help him figure out what to do to get his chronic conditions back under control and Dr. Valasquez could help her brainstorm ways to manage her anxiety.

Sadly, the outcome of Luigi’s healthcare appointment only worsened his outlook.

His symptoms and answers to questions about his general dietary habits quickly prompted the doctor to order a panel of bloodwork. This revealed that Luigi’s recent fatigue and dry skin weren’t the worsening of his long-standing medical issues, but a sign that he needed to overhaul his lifestyle once again to deal with a new chronic condition: diabetes.

To keep his blood sugar in a healthy range Luigi would now need to avoid many of his favorite breakfast foods and mixology recipes. He hung up the phone in shock, his natural cheerfulness unable to find any bright side to the grim news. Why did these things keep happening to him!?

Noemi didn’t fare much better. Her therapist wasn’t able to suggest anything she didn’t already know, leaving her no better off than before.

Grabbing a late dinner after putting Skye to bed the couple compared notes and tried to brainstorm. Luigi’s first idea came as he remembered how empowering it had felt for him and his cousins to curate their “new looks” after moving in together. Maybe, he told Noemi, they couldn’t change what was at the heart of their problems, but with a little “fashion magic” they could cover over them a bit. She agreed it was worth a try.

When he went on to bitterly joke: “At least my seldom sleepy trait keeps me mostly awake and alert. If only there was a satisfaction potion of chronic-illness-be-gone!” a lightbulb went off in Noemi’s brain. No satisfaction reward would help him, but there was definitely one for her weight concerns.

When Luigi saw the “Insta Lean” potion pop out of his fiancées inventory he placed a hand on her arm to stop her from chugging it down.

“What?” she asked him “It’s a perfectly safe one time reset. Now that I can exercise again, I’ll easily maintain a weight that makes me happy. Come to think of it, exercising more would be good for both of us. Didn’t the doctor say a regular fitness routine would help you manage your sugar levels?”

“Yes, he did” Luigi replied, “and that’s a great idea. If you’re spending points, do you have enough to pick up Seldom Sleepy too?” At her nod he smiled and continued. “Grab that, and we can burn the midnight oil together, going for late night jogs on the beach and early morning swims!”

Gesturing back at the potion his face got serious as he continued: “I just wanted you to know, before you drink that, that you are beautiful and loved just the way you are. If your new bosses or your bathroom mirror don’t appreciate you, I hope you realize how much I do.”

Noemi leaned across the table and kissed him softly. “I love you too. However much your love completes me though, I want to go into my new job feeling on top of the world. This expensive little cocktail will boost my confidence in the office Monday morning, when I’ll need all the help I can get!” With that, she tipped the glass back, letting the magical concoction slide down her throat with a cool tingle.

With their “fixer upper” plans in place the pair looked forward to a fashion makeover to highlight their new, more mature, and soon sleeker bodies!

Before last year, the public monthly meetings of the board of Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Sarasota, Florida, were sleepy affairs, typically drawing just a handful of attendees. The hospital, a 98-year-old public healthcare system that serves more than a million patients a year, was considered a crown jewel of the community: A highly rated public safety net institution composed of two hospital buildings and several clinics, its core mission is to serve people who are uninsured or underinsured. At a typical board meeting, members would discuss the hospital’s priorities, from finding healthcare providers who practiced in specialties that the community lacked to building a new cancer center.

So it came as a surprise late last year when attendance at the board meetings began to grow: More than a hundred people showed up in December’s monthly board meeting, then 200 in January, and 300 in February. The attendees, some traveling from hours away, lambasted the hospital for adhering to the CDC’s recommended Covid protocols, accusing emergency care physicians of murdering patients. “We were getting people complaining, and they’ve never even had a family member in the hospital, and they’re talking about the horrible treatment they’ve received,” Dr. James Fiorica, the hospital’s chief medical officer, told me. “You wonder if there is a different agenda than how we treated the particular patient.”

Indeed, the campaign against Sarasota Memorial appears to be part of a coordinated effort of a varied constellation of right-wing groups and individuals. Some have deep ties to the anti-vaccine movement; others are part of the “parents’ rights” movement that has sought to stack school boards with conservative members; a few are ardent Big Lie promoters with ties to the January 6 insurrection. The result is an increasingly unhinged and threatening campaign against the very healthcare workers who saw the community through the worst of the pandemic, says a hospital spokesperson, Kim Savage. “Our board meetings are open to the public, and for the first time, we feel like we have to wand people,” she says. “We worry that the language these groups use might incite someone who is not stable.”

In years past, the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board hasn’t been a political group—most of the members were retired executives of local businesses who wanted to give back to their community. But in 2022, recalls Savage, the burgeoning medical freedom movement—which opposed pandemic restrictions such as mask and vaccine mandates and which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also has championed—was having a moment. Four hospital board candidates ran on a so-called medical freedom platform, and three of them successfully unseated former board members. “People were not sure what ‘health freedom’ stood for, but it sounded good,” Savage says.

The Sarasota Memorial Hospital had already developed a reputation in the medical freedom community, probably thanks to Stew Peters, a far-right live streamer and producer of the viral anti-vaccine movie “Died Suddenly.” In an August 2021 episode of his show, Peters accused the hospital of denying Covid patients ivermectin, the deworming drug touted by former president Donald Trump that has been shown to be ineffective against Covid. “It would appear that the treatment of patients is being deliberately made to worsen the condition of patients reported to be hospitalized with Covid-19.” He went on, “Hitler would be very proud of what’s happening at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.” That wasn’t the only time Peters accused hospitals of withholding ivermectin from Covid patients—he also urged his followers to call and complain to a hospital in Minnesota and another in Virginia, resulting in a torrent of hateful messages at those hospitals, as well. In September 2021, Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ran a segment about Sarasota Memorial similar to that from Stew Peters.

Two posts from Sarasota Moms for America’s Facebook page

In November, Sarasota Moms for America chapter head Tanya Parus posted a video in which she said, “Please, please mark every meeting off on your calendar, and do what you can to clear up that time to be at these hospital board meetings.” That was a tried-and-true strategy: Thanks to a boost by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, parents’ rights groups have had great success in flipping school boards. Now some of their members appeared to be moving on to public hospitals, as well, in an effort to mold hospital policy to fit the “medical freedom” agenda.

At the unexpectedly packed meetings in late 2022 and early 2023, Savage recalls, the new medical freedom board members themselves were generally courteous. The tone of the meetings, however, gradually began to change. Attendees used the public comment period to demand an investigation into the hospital’s Covid protocols, all of which reflected the CDC guidelines. So in early 2023, the hospital conducted a months-long, peer-reviewed investigation, with data provided by the healthcare consultancy Premier, Inc. The conclusion was that the hospital’s Covid outcomes were excellent by national standards: 91 percent of the 13,000 patients the hospital treated survived—a mortality rate 24 percent lower than the national average, according to the review.

But the medical activists weren’t satisfied.

With an unprecedented 300 people at the February meeting, attendees lit into Sarasota Hospital physicians, accusing them of killing Covid patients. A tweet claiming that one speaker had been thrown out of the meeting for criticizing the hospital’s protocols went viral. (According to Savage, the speaker was escorted out because he attempted to whisper something in the ear of a board member, which alarmed security officers.)

That’s when things got really chaotic. Mike Flynn, a resident of Sarasota, former national security advisor to former President Donald Trump, and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire, tweeted after the February board meeting, “I attended this meeting and the Sarasota Memorial Hospital took what could have been a rebuilding of trust and further damaged this institution with a ‘fox inside the henhouse investigation.’” He added, “Their little report is not the end of the investigation. More to follow.” A few days later, he tweeted, “It may be time to privatize this hospital.” Flynn has established an organization in neighboring Venice called The Hollow 2A, whose mission is to help “Americans gather to lawfully take back our country.” In addition to advocating for Second Amendment rights, as the name suggests, the group has also called on its members to attend school board meetings as well as the Sarasota Hospital board meetings.

Dr. Jane Ruby, another live streamer and right-wing political pundit who has a show on Peters’ network, devoted a February episode to Sarasota Memorial, titled “Killing Hospital Begins Cover-Up.” Ruby referred to a doctor at Sarasota Hospital as “an arrogant, condescending piece of crap,” and criticized the staff. “You enabled that hospital to not only murder innocent people but to make millions of dollars doing it,” she thundered. “They’re coming for all of you. You’re all the targets now.” Stew Peters posted the episode to the 270,000 followers on his Telegram channel. In her own channel, which has 103,000 subscribers, Ruby named individual Sarasota Hospital doctors as being complicit in harming patients.

Over the next five days, board members and hospital employees received dozens of harassing messages. “The hate in these messages was hard to bear for our staff,” Savage says. “It was like a targeted hate campaign.” Many of the messages had threatening tones, suggesting that the doctors who had failed to prescribe ivermectin would be punished. While there is no indication callers were told what to say, many messages followed a similar pattern. The voicemails Savage shared with Mother Jones would begin with what seemed like a polite introduction to some constructive criticism. But then, the callers would devolve into ad hominem attacks. “Good morning, are you a patient advocate?” began one voicemail. It went on, “They hung people at the Nuremberg trials when they were found guilty. They used piano wire. So do you want piano wire or hemp or nylon rope?”

In addition to the onslaught of similar messages to hospital staff, commenters flooded physician reputation sites—where patients leave reviews, like Yelp for doctors—with one-star reviews for Sarasota Memorial Hospital doctors.

Fiorica and Savage are bracing for more: The next board meeting is coming up on March 20, and a protest has been planned beforehand—Savage expects the attendees to move from the protest to the board meeting. According to the Facebook event page, protesters will have a chance to “learn about the egregious behaviors behind your local hospital doors” and “demand Gov. DeSantis investigate these hospitals.” So far, neither DeSantis nor his surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, have commented on Sarasota Memorial. Nor have any of the organizers who have been contacted by Mother Jones responded. 

The organizers of the rally planned for March 20 are Mike Flynn’s group The Hollow 2A, Moms for America, and a third, the Zelenko Freedom Foundation, a medical freedom group named after the late Vladimir Zelenko, the New York doctor who originally suggested the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a Covid cure to the Trump Administration in 2020. Though Vladimir Zelenko died of lung cancer last year, the foundation says it is carrying on his legacy through selling telemedicine consults and a line of supplements, including one for children. Zelenko supplements are also sold through the website of The Wellness Company, the anti-vaccine medical practice that recently offered free care to those affected by the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Dr. Peter McCullough, the Wellness Company’s chief medical officer and a scion of the anti-vaccine movement, tweeted about the February board meeting to his 782,000 followers. “Ashamed for [Sarasota Memorial] and all those in the room,” he wrote. “Hospital boards are obligated to hear all points of view on therapies to help patients.”

In a press release about the March event, the Zelenko Freedom Foundation wrote, “We believe Sarasota Memorial Hospital, by implementing Covid-19 hospital protocols resulting in injury and death while ignoring proven early treatment options, has engaged in reckless behavior resulting in irreparable harm. Patients have reported being denied effective treatments such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and other treatments while being subjected to experimental therapies some of which were proven deadly in previous studies.”

The co-chair of the Zelenko Freedom Foundation board is Ann Vandersteel, who promoted the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory during the 2016 presidential campaign, which asserted that Comet Pizza, a Washington, DC, pizza restaurant was secretly hosting a ring of child predators superintended by Hillary Clinton. Vandersteel is also a member of the sovereign citizen movement, a fringe group that believes members are exempt from US laws. The Zelenko Freedom Foundation’s executive director is a Florida life coach named Cindy Chafian, who was subpoenaed by Congress for her early involvement in planning the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Chafian is also the director of coalitions and engagement of Moms for America.

This, of course, comes at the end of a grueling three years for the hospital, during which the staff worked overtime to serve patients as the pandemic raged. Now, those same providers are bearing the brunt of the harassment campaign, fielding hostile messages from people outside of their own community. “All we can think about is that if people google Sarasota Memorial, this is what they’ll see,” Savage says. “Who wants to come to a community under fire? We’re just trying to hunker down and do what we’re here to do, which is take care of patients.”

Fiorica also is concerned about the long-term effects of all this on the medical community. “I worry that if this continues we’re going to lose physicians,” he says. “How would you feel if you went to a meeting and someone called you a murderer right to your face?”

The aggrieved attendees at the meetings, the hostile voicemails, the one-star reviewers—the campaign was designed to look like a groundswell of complaints from people who were fed up with a hospital that just kept dropping the ball. In reality, it is the work of groups that “all have different angles and goals and targets,” Savage explains. “But they’re all coming together right here.”
