#BUT HERE ME OUT

[literally-literary-charlie]

i think we should normalize demigods growing up to be average people. bc rick really went out there and said george washington and harriet tubman were demigods but just think about this for a second-

"ah yes that gas station attendant is a son of hermes, god of travelers"

there's simultaneously so much and so little potential here

I, a non ikevamp player, saw your "Isaac Newton moans like a slut 😮‍💨" post and was very concerned for a few seconds because I thought you meant the gravity guy

I apologize for concerning you, anon :v

The Issac Newton I speak of is a reincarnated anime twink vampire, not IRL gravity guy.

I've seen people complain about hunter being tagged under hunter wittebane because its disrespectful and whatnot-

But let's be real here, philip would hate it if he took his last name, if hunter purposely chose to take the last name and make something good out of it, taking something away from Philip that matters to him.

And maybe in some way, honor caleb too.

The last name itself has little baggage specifically to hunter given he never used it nor called his uncle it.

Even if it doesn't happen, its an interesting idea.

Now that Foolish is officially KOC, who do I have to pay off to get a george of the jungle/tarzan fooligetta au?

I personally like to think the QSMP is a sitcom with a shitty production team

Cucurcucho? A friendly host with a design so rushed that no one thought to not approve the equivalent of Satan's armpit

All the Mysteries/Puzzles? Staff was afraid ex-convict Cellbit would be bored without enrichment. They tried to appease him as employee of the month, but it didn't work :(

Kidnapping events? Don't worry, its all lighthearted drama- intern Susan why do you keep freezing the contestants

Theory that's probably wrong but: everyone else remember how in rid Bumblebee mentioned that his new frame looks a lot like the old one (well the one before what we see in tfp)?

That's probably pretty close to how aligned Skywarp and Thundercracker looked. I've had a crack idea stuck in my head that before TC and 'Warp offline, the elite trine looked a bit more like tfp Dreadwing but a bit smaller.

@drakengrimm be honest, better or worse than my grandma's toilet?

So, I'm thinking there's a shower behind the toilet.

But, BAM! It's the basement stairs. I don't know what's going on above, but it looks treacherous AF- so you enter the basement from the other side behind the toilet on a narrow platform.

this post is fearmongering. the results of this study are concerning and should definitely be a matter of public discussion, but this is certainly not the conclusion the researchers came to.

the point of the study was to assess the risks of exposure to toxic metals- something one of the co-authors notes are “ubiquitous” fwiw- via menstrual products. Their research confirmed that these metals are indeed present in tampons, but no further conclusions are drawn. it is possible the metal entered into the cotton from the soil, which is a well-known phenomenon; cotton is so good at lifting heavy metals that it has actually been suggested as a part of the solution for revitalizing polluted ground.

the authors conclude with an acknowledgement that the study should be repeated- their sample size was 60 tampons- and a suggestion that further testing ought to be done to indicate whether or not these metals can even leech out of the tampon in the first place, let alone whether or not such leeching could occur at levels deleterious to human health.

there is, in fact, a body of research- too small, for sure, but much larger than this single study- indicating that long-term proper tampon use has no observable negative impact on health. i am grateful and thrilled that more research is being done and i hope that this study is the first of many on this line of questioning, but i am really frustrated at this post and the response it got.

obviously, if this study alters your approach to menstrual health, more power to you. consumers should be informed-risk-takers, and menstrual health is double-obviously a very personal choice. but it definitely wasn't the researchers concluding that you ought to “avoid using tampons at all cost," only this tumblr user did. the lead author of the paper, in fact, specifically says that she hopes people do NOT panic about the results.

(the notes of the post were disappointing. people affirming that they knew they were right to be suspicious of tampons all along, or even recommending alternatives that actually have very little to no research regarding the safety of long-term use, etc. it’s a different conversation, but categorical distrust of tampons is old-school misogyny. you certainly shouldn't wear them if you don’t want to, but there is nothing inherently scary or wrong about them, and people who prefer them are not being reckless or crass.)

((if you're really worried about exposure to heavy metals, you may want to turn a critical eye to fast fashion, as an aside))

like. imagine seeing your sibling at 18. and then not seeing them again until you’re 28. and then not seeing them again until you’re both 58. but you’re identical twins so every time you look in the mirror you wonder if this is what they would’ve looked like.

imagine never needing glasses but your brother did, and then in your adulthood your eyes get worse and you suddenly need glasses and you pick out the same frames your brother wore.

imagine always protecting your brother growing up cause he was different and kids picked on him. but you always protected him. and then you have a falling out and neither of you speak for years, and then finding out that in those years you didn’t speak, he was being isolated and tortured by a monster and didn’t think you’d come if he called. but then he calls and you go. and his house has blood on the floor in every room and writing on the walls and his journal devolves into paranoid ramblings. and you can’t protect him because you showed up and he got ripped away. and you can’t even ask him what the writing or the blood or the state of the house means because he’s gone. and you don’t have a penny to your name so you have to clean the blood up yourself and fix the house and live there. so you board up his room.
