#Boost Immunity in Toddlers

[sunfriedginger]

These pretentious, fucking arrogant, dalmatian owners in this FB group are the most predictable jerks I've ever talked to.

If you're not giving your dog a 100% raw, vitamin boosted, joint/coat/immune enhanced PLUS PLUS kibble. You're a monster.

Haven't taken your dog for their triple semi-annual shots and allergen/cancer screening? Horrid.

Your dog didn't graduate from the fucking JUILLIARD School for dog training? Pathetic, why even have a dalmatian.

I didn't scratch the asshole of every sugar daddy in town to get her either. I saw her in a rescue group chat and swooped her when she was supposedly 7 weeks old. If she's the result of "BYB" then so fucking be it you egotistical, judgmental pricks.

I refuse to feel bad or guilty for taking her into my life and I wouldn't even know how to go about reporting this woman. It wasn't some grand deal! And then someone's gonna say she's got WORMS 😱 Are you kidding?

You don't know my puppy so I'll fill you in, when she's not sleeping she's running, biting, playing and barking at whatever the hell she wants; when I feed her, she plays for about 15 minutes before getting tired and that's when I'm able to take pictures of her. Any time before then she's trying to eat my hair, destroy cords and steal my granola bars. It's impossible to take cute photos of a toddler puppy.

... i love my little baby no matter what. If she's a poorly bred dog, if she's mixed with something, if she's the work of a backyard breeder, I DO NOT CARE. The only thing I care about, is her health and happiness.

A Weary Holiday

Summary: When Madeline and Grace come down with a nasty flu, Chris has to take on the role of doctor.

Part of the Back To You series

-----

November 2022

Don’t come home. Thanksgiving is canceled. We’re both sick.

Chris was walking out the door towards the car waiting to take him to the airport when he saw the message from Madeline and his heart instantly sank. Her tone was bleak, her words were blunt, and considering they’d been looking forward to his week off since he’d last been home for a few days at Halloween, he knew that she must have been feeling pretty awful for her to make such an extreme suggestion. Eager to find out what was going on, he greeted the driver and settled into the backseat before quickly calling Madeline, but he felt his worry grow as soon as she answered.

“Hi, Chris…”

Her voice was croaky and the coughs that followed rattled in her chest.

“Oh, baby,” he cringed. “What’s going on?”

“We’re sick,” she stated the obvious. “Me and Grace.”

“Covid?”

“Not according to the tests,” Madeline assured him. “But there’s a nasty flu going around too. Half the girls were out of class with it last week, but one of them must have passed it on to me.”

“Shit, that sucks. I’m sorry, Maddie,” Chris sighed. “But I’m on my way to the airport so I’ll be home soon.”

“No, you can’t come home.”

Madeline’s voice was firm, but the wheeze that followed did nothing to convince Chris to stay away.

“What are you talking about? Of course, I’m coming home. I’ve got almost a week off so it’s perfect timing.”

“Then stay with your mom, but don’t come here.”

“I’m not gonna do that,” he insisted. “You need help, especially if Grace is sick too.”

“But what if you catch it? I don’t want to be responsible for causing millions of dollars worth of filming delays.”

“It’ll be fine,” Chris assured her, her concern putting a soft smile on his face. “I’ll drink some orange juice on the plane, boost my immune system a bit.”

“I don’t think any amount of orange juice will protect you from this,” Madeline huffed, but as the sound of a screaming toddler floated through the phone, Chris swore he heard her let out a whimper. “Grace is awake so I gotta go, but I seriously won’t be offended if you don’t come home. Save yourself, Chris.”

“That’s not happening. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Text me if there’s anything you want me to pick up on my way home from the airport.”

Madeline reluctantly agreed before hurrying to hang up the phone and tend to their ailing child, leaving Chris alone with his thoughts. Being away from home was always difficult, but being away at a time when his family clearly needed some support was even worse and he desperately wished that he wasn’t so far away.

-

It was suspiciously quiet when Chris got home. He didn’t want to call out and announce his arrival in case everyone was getting some much needed sleep, but even Dodger’s greeting was far more subdued than usual. His little face appeared to be clouded with worry as he briefly jumped up to lick at Chris’ face before trotting back in the direction he’d come from, looking over his shoulder as if he wanted Chris to follow him and as they turned into the living room, Madeline was so focused on rocking the baby in her arms that she apparently hadn’t even heard him come in.

“Hi,” he said softly, not wanting to disturb Grace if she was sleeping. “How’re you guys doing?”

Madeline turned at the sound of his voice, but despite the deep frown that slid onto her face when she saw him, her voice was filled with relief.

“You came home…”

“Of course, I did. Was there ever any doubt?”

“I told you not to,” she reminded him. “And you should at least be wearing a hazmat suit.”

If it wasn’t for how awful she looked, Chris would have chuckled at her dramatics.

“I’ll be fine.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” she warned him. “Whatever this is, it’s really bad.”

As if to prove her point, she’d barely managed to croak out her words before coughs wracked her body. The sound and the harsh movement disturbed Grace who pulled her face out from where she’d buried it in Madeline’s neck as she whined in protest. However, when she turned her head enough to see Chris standing in the doorway, tears immediately filled her eyes.

“Dada!”

His name came from her lips as a wail as she reached out towards him and he quickly strode across the room to take her in his arms. 

“Hey, Gracie,” he murmured, pressing his lips against her forehead before sharply pulling back. “Jeeze, she’s burning up.”

“I know, she’s so sick,” Madeline practically whimpered as tears welled in her eyes. “And I forgot to text you and ask you to get her some medicine.”

“It’s okay,” he assured her. “I stopped at the pharmacy anyway, just to be safe.”

“Oh, thank you,” Madeline sighed, visibly relaxing at that news. However, as Chris took in the sight of her flushed cheeks and the shivers that were trembling through her body, his worry was quickly rising. “We need to get her fever down a bit.”

“Yours too,” he insisted, reaching out to press his hand gently against her forehead and confirming his suspicions as he shot her a stern look. “You don’t look good, Maddie. How long have you guys been like this?”

“Since yesterday,” she admitted. “I woke up with a cough. It didn’t seem like much at first, but it got worse through the day and then Grace spiked a fever last night. We both went to bed early, but she woke up coughing an hour later and neither of us have really slept since then.”

Chris’ eyes widened as he realized how long they’d been struggling, patting Grace’s back as she coughed harshly in his ear.

“You should have told me earlier, I could have gotten an earlier flight.”

“I didn’t even think about it,” she shrugged, her eyes growing glassy once again. “I feel so awful, Chris. Every time she lies down she coughs so hard that she can’t breathe, but I’m exhausted and don’t have the strength to hold her all the time.”

The crack in her voice had Chris’ heart aching for her. In all the years they’d known each other and all the colds and flus he’d seen her fight, he couldn’t think of a single time that she’d actually admitted to feeling anything worse than slightly unwell so he knew she must have been feeling pretty horrible to actually admit it and there was no doubt that the exhaustion of staying up all night to care for Grace wouldn’t have helped.

Sliding his free arm around her shoulder, he pulled her tightly against his chest to press a kiss against the top of her head.

“I’m home now, so I can take care of Gracie,” he assured her. “You just focus on yourself and start by going to bed and getting some sleep.”

He expected Madeline to argue, but was relieved when - after a moment of silence - he heard a quiet “are you sure?” mumbled into his shirt.

“Absolutely,” he insisted. “You’ve done more than your share, you can’t take care of her if you let yourself get worse.”

“Okay,” Madeline sighed, slipping out of his grasp. “Thank you.”

“You don’t need to thank me. Wanna grab the stuff from the pharmacy? It’s next to my bag.”

He nodded his head towards where he’d dumped his stuff by the door and waited for her to find the medicine he’d bought before following her into the kitchen. Rocking a still whimpering Grace, he helped Madeline figure out what to take and how much before sending her off to bed. However, as she assured him that she wouldn’t be long and she’d be back soon, Grace caught on to what was happening and lifted her head from Chris’ shoulder with worry on her face.

“Mama!” She cried, a fresh wave of tears bubbling to the surface and stopping Madeline in her tracks. “Mama!”

“I’ll be back soon,” Madeline frowned. “You can stay with Daddy, okay?”

“No!”

Grace dissolved into sobs as she struggled to get out of Chris’ grasp, but as her panic triggered another bout of coughing, Chris held her tight and urged Madeline to leave.

“She’ll be fine,” he insisted. “Just go, she’ll calm down once you’re out of sight.”

He could see how much it almost physically pained Madeline to leave Grace when she was already suffering so much, but in the end her own exhaustion won out and she reluctantly nodded and slipped from the room. Chris turned his attention back to Grace, still rocking her gently as he murmured all the soothing reassurance he could think of until she was back to quietly whimpering against his neck.

By some kind of miracle, Grace stayed calm long enough for Chris to get some medicine into her and he hoped that it would kick in quickly. He could see the exhaustion on her face and he was optimistic that if the medicine gave her some relief from her discomfort then he could help her get some solid, healing sleep even if it meant holding her in his arms for the next several hours.

-

At first, Madeline tried to ignore the hands that were gently shaking her.

But as she slowly gained enough awareness to remember why she was sleeping in the middle of the day, the fact that someone was suddenly trying to force her out of her slumber had panic gripping her heart and startling her wide awake.

Pushing herself up and flipping to face Chris where he sat on the edge of the bed, she tried to force out the words ‘what’s wrong?’ but the quick movement had her chest rattling as the coughs took over again.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay,” he assured her, handing her the glass of water she’d left on the nightstand. “I just thought you might want more medicine for your cough.”

“What time is it?” Madeline croaked out when she managed to control her breathing. “How long have I been asleep?”

“About six hours and the cough stuff says you can take it every four hours,” he informed her. “You started coughing in your sleep pretty bad again about an hour ago so I thought it might be a good idea.”

He held out the little cup that he’d already portioned out and Madeline tossed it back with no complaints, eager for any relief that she could find as she seemed to feel worse and worse with every moment she was awake. Her head was spinning and every muscle in her body seemed to ache, making every cough agonizing as her tight chest fought against her.

“Thanks,” she sighed. “Where’s Grace?”

“Sleeping.”

“And she’s not coughing?”

Madeline didn’t have the energy to keep the shock off of her face and Chris smiled as he nodded.

“Not at the moment, but it’s been tough,” he admitted. “She seems to have about a forty-five minute window before she coughs herself awake.”

“Poor baby,” Madeline frowned. “I hate that she’s struggling and we can’t help her.”

“I hate that you’re struggling too,” Chris murmured, reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. 

She leaned into his touch and let her eyes drift shut again, but just as she felt herself start to drift off again, something else caught the attention of her senses.

“What’s that smell?”

“Soup, with chicken and vegetables.”

“You ordered soup for us?”

“No,” Chris informed her, the pride in his voice making Madeline crack open an eye to see the grin on his face. “I made it.”

Knowing that cooking wasn’t Chris’ strength or something he particularly enjoyed, the fact that he was putting so much effort into taking care of them - especially after the horrific night that Madeline had been forced to handle by herself - had her feeling almost overwhelmed with gratitude. It would have been easy and understandable for Chris to switch his plans and stay at his mom’s or sister’s house once he knew they were sick - he only had a week off in a busy filming schedule and staying at home meant missing out on Thanksgiving with the rest of his family - but she was so appreciative that he was willing to risk catching whatever they had to help them through it.

“That’s really sweet,” she smiled, pressing a kiss against his hand where it still rested by her cheek. “Thank you.”

“It’s the least I can do,” Chris shrugged. “I just hope it tastes okay. Carly brought over a recipe and all the ingredients for me when she finished work, but I haven’t tried it yet.”

“Did you pay her back?” It wasn’t until Chris answered her with an amused ‘what?’ that Madeline realized her question may have been a strange response to the information Chris had shared and she tried to pull her delirious brain together enough to explain herself. “I just know everything’s so expensive right now - even vegetables - and I don’t want to be inconveniencing everyone just because I’m sick.”

“It’s okay,” Chris chuckled. “You don’t need to be worrying about things like that right now.”

“Okay,” Madeline sighed, letting her eyes drift shut again. “Will you thank her for me?”

“Sure,” Chris nodded. “But why don’t you try and get some more sleep?”

Madeline could already feel herself starting to drift off when he made the suggestion, but knowing he’d put so much effort into making them something to eat, she felt a pang of guilt.

“But…soup?” 

It was the only words her brain could muster and she heard Chris chuckle again at her half-assed question.

“Are you hungry?” He paused while Madeline attempted to shake her head, but she wasn’t entirely sure she’d moved it at all when he continued. “I’ll leave it on the oven, it’ll still be warm whenever you’re ready to get up.”

Madeline managed to murmur a noise of agreement before sleep washed over her again.

-

The next time Madeline woke up - this time on her own accord - she felt far more alive than she had earlier that day. As she slowly sat up, her head started to spin but after taking a moment to breathe through it and assess how she was feeling, she had to admit there was a definite improvement. The smell of the soup Chris had made was still wafting down the hall and her stomach rumbled as she breathed it in and since that was another notable improvement from the lack of appetite she’d had in the last twenty-four hours, she dragged herself out of bed as fast as her weak body would allow in the hopes she could get some food in her stomach while she was feeling up to it. 

The exhaustion that she felt just from the short trip to the kitchen was a stark reminder of just how sick she was, but the sight that greeted her made the journey worth it as Grace was sitting up in her highchair with Chris carefully spoon feeding her some soup.

“Hey, you’re awake!” Chris smiled when he noticed her leaning against the doorway. “Do you want some soup? Gracie seems to think it’s pretty good.”

The pride on his face was heartwarming - especially when it grew even more as Grace agreed with a loud and enthusiastic ‘yum!’ - and Madeline nodded her head.

“I’d love some, it smells amazing.” She moved towards the stove where the pot was still simmering and scooped some into the bowl he had ready for her on the counter before taking a seat at the table. As she let her soup cool, she looked over at Grace and smiled as she noticed her cheeks were looking far less flushed and the dark circles under her eyes weren’t quite as pronounced. “She looks so much better than she did this morning.”

“The medicine really helped with her fever,” Chris nodded. “It climbed back up a little after a few hours, but it’s nowhere near as high as it was when I got home and her cough is still pretty rough, but she did get at least a couple of hours of sleep.”

“I’m so glad to hear that,” Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. “I was worried about you, Gracie girl. Are you feeling better?”

Grace looked thoughtful for a minute as she chewed the lump of carrot in her mouth before shaking her head.

“No.”

“Oh, dear,” Madeline offered her a sympathetic frown. “Well, is Daddy’s soup helping?”

“Yes,” Grace smiled weakly. “Yummy!”

“It is very yummy,” Madeline agreed as she took a careful taste. “You did well, Chris.”

The proud smile returned to Chris’ face as he thanked her for the praise and offered Grace another spoonful of soup.

“You’re looking better too,” he observed as he glanced over at Madeline. “And you seem a lot more coherent than when I woke you up earlier.”

“Do I?” Madeline laughed, only vaguely remembering their brief interaction. “Was I delirious?”

“Yeah, you were a little out of it,” he admitted. “But you were all cute and sleepy so that probably didn’t help.”

His use of the word ‘cute’ - especially considering it was probably quite generous given the state she was in - gave Madeline the usual rush she got whenever he complimented her and she bit back a smile as she cringed at the thought of what she might have said.

“Well, I do feel a lot better,” she assured him. “My chest is still tight and I ache all over, but getting some sleep definitely made me feel less like a zombie than I did when you got home.”

“I’m glad to hear that, but I’m sorry you guys had such a rough night.”

“It’s alright,” Madeline sighed. “I’m sorry that we’re kinda ruining your week off…”

“You’re not ruining it at all,” Chris insisted, his voice firm almost as if he was offended by the idea. “I’m happy that I can be here to help you.”

“Well, I appreciate it because I know it’s not ideal.”

“Seems kinda ideal to me,” Chris shrugged. “Obviously I don’t want you guys to be sick, but it gives us an excuse to just stay home, cuddle on the couch and watch movies for a few days without worrying about anything but you guys resting up and getting better.”

His words had a tired smile sliding onto Madeline’s face as what he’d described sounded like exactly what she needed.

“That sounds like a dream,” she agreed. “As long as her fever stays down then a few worry free days of relaxation as a family sounds like a perfect way to spend Thanksgiving.”

“It does, and Ma said that if you guys are feeling better then we can go for dinner next week before I go back to work, but there’s no pressure.”

“That would be nice. I did call her this morning in a panic to ask how to get Gracie’s fever down, but I didn’t even think about Thanksgiving at that point,” Madeline admitted. “Did you apologize for me?”

“I said we were sorry we couldn’t come,” Chris nodded. “But she doesn’t mind, she gets it. Everyone was just worried about you two.”

Madeline was about to reply - telling Chris how grateful she was for his family’s constant love and support - but as he tried to offer Grace another spoonful of soup, it became clear that she’d had enough. The few hours she’d napped clearly weren’t enough to combat the exhaustion of being up all night the night before and her discomfort was clear in the scowl on her face as she roughly pushed the spoon away from her mouth, spilling its contents all over the tray of her high chair.

“Careful, Gracie,” Chris warned. “We don’t want to make a mess.”

His voice was soft and hardly scolding or harsh, but in her fragile state it was enough to have Grace dissolving into tears. The sudden deterioration of her mood surprised both of her parents, but Chris quickly leapt into action as he murmured some reassurance and apologized for upsetting her as he lifted her out of her chair. Her cough was quickly triggered by her hysterics, but as Madeline cringed at the harsh hacking sound, Chris took it all in stride as he patted her back and soothed her until she’d calmed down to a whimper again. 

Settling her on his hip, he used his free hand to swing open the fridge and grab the bottle of Grace’s favourite apple juice before pouring it into her sippy cup, topping it off with some water to cut down the sweetness and handing it to Grace. He did it all far more effortlessly than Madeline’s foggy brain could even comprehend and she felt another wave of gratitude that he’d come home to help them.

“I’ll take her to lie down for a bit,” Chris suggested as Grace rested her head on his shoulder, comforted by the drink in her hands. “I think another nap might do her some good.”

Madeline agreed and Chris paused on his way out of the kitchen to press a kiss against her head.

Once they were gone, she felt a slight pang of guilt that she wasn’t more able to comfort Grace in her time of need, but the pounding in her head was a good reminder that she needed to focus on getting herself better too. However, her inability to completely relax and be taken care of had her moving the dishes to the sink when she was finished with her soup and cleaning the mess off of Grace’s high chair. She felt weak and found herself leaning on the counter for support far more than normal, but she struggled on to rinse the bowls and she’d just finished loading them into the dishwasher when Chris returned.

“What are you doing?”

The words fell from Chris’ lips with a groan and Madeline shot him an innocent look.

“Just cleaning up the dishes.”

“You should have left them,” Chris frowned. “I would have done it.”

“I know,” Madeline smiled, quickly drying her hands before she moved closer to wrap her arms around his waist. “But you’ve already done so much for us today.”

“I’m happy to help,” he reminded her. “You should be resting.”

Madeline sighed out a soft ‘I know’, leaning into his embrace as he pulled her close and she let the warmth of his body sooth the aches that rippled through her. Chris had always made her feel safe. He’d been taking care of her long before they ever started dating and she’d always known that if she even implied that she needed help or support, Chris would move mountains to fix her problems in any way that he could. But despite how unwavering his support was, Madeline still felt like she fell in love with him a little bit more every time he rushed to her aide.

“Thank you,” she murmured against his chest. “For being such a great dad and an amazing husband.”

“You don’t have to thank me,” Chris insisted. “I love you and I want to be here at times like this.”

“I know, but you always take such good care of us and I know how lucky I am to have someone like you.”

There was a moment of silence as Chris took in Madeline’s words before he leaned down to press a kiss against her hair.

“I’d do anything for you.”

“And I’d do the same for you,” she assured him before leaning back to flash him a smile. “But I can’t believe you actually made us soup…And I can’t believe that it actually tasted good!”

“Oh, wow,” Chris barked out a laugh, shaking his head at her disbelief. “I see how it is, you try to do something nice and it just gets thrown back in your face.”

“I’m not throwing it in your face,” Madeline protested. “I gave you a compliment!”

“Yeah, but you’re clearly surprised, which is pretty insulting.”

“Okay, but in my defense, your track record with cooking doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.” Her admission had a dramatic pout sliding onto Chris’ face - a look that Madeline noted he’d clearly passed on to their daughter - and she was powerless to resist as she quickly backtracked her statement. “Sorry, I don’t mean that, it’s just all the cold medicine making me delirious.”

Chris flicked his eyes to the clock on the stove before shooting her a doubtful look.

“It’s been too long for that excuse, most of the meds should be out of your system by now.”

“Then that’s what’s making me delirious,” Madeline argued weakly as a conveniently timed but genuine cough rattled her chest. “I’m so sick, Chris. Remember? You can’t hold anything I say against me right now.”

“Nice try,” Chris chuckled, rolling his eyes. “I guess I’ll let it slide this time, but you better be careful or I’ll never cook for you again.”

“You’re so dramatic.” 

Madeline’s words were teasing, but as they faded into a yawn, Chris’ protective side came out again.

“You need to rest,” he reminded her again. “You should go back to bed.”

“I just slept for almost nine hours,” she protested. “I should be able to stay awake for a little longer.”

“But you were making up for the sleep you missed last night,” Chris pointed out. “And you’re still sick. You’re weak and obviously still tired, you need as much sleep as you can get.”

“Fine,” Madeline huffed, knowing that - as much as it pained her to admit it - the thought of curling up in bed again was rather appealing. “But will you come with me?”

“Of course.”

Without hesitation, Chris moved his hands down to grip her thighs before effortlessly lifting her into his arms. At first, Madeline wanted to protest and insist that she was strong enough to walk to their bedroom by herself, but her need for comfort won out and she wrapped her legs around his waist for stability as she rested her head on his shoulder. It felt childish as she was well aware that he’d carried Grace to her bedroom in almost the exact same fashion, but the safety and security she felt as he held her was too hard to resist and she was very reluctant to slip out of his grasp even as he lowered her down onto their bed. 

Madeline snuggled down into the blankets as Chris slipped out of his jeans, but by the time he was crawling into bed with her, she could already feel herself drifting off to sleep. She fought it long enough to press herself against Chris’ side and rest her head on his chest, but her eyes soon became too heavy to keep open as she heard Chris mumble a soft ‘I told you so’ before she fell into another much needed sleep, feeling grateful to have such a loving husband.

[t-the-ring-master]

Please may I have a Spy x family headcanons platonic of being the biological son of Yor Briar and his name is Yukio Briar and then Yukio Forger age 8..Yukio means "Snow boy" in Japanese and Yor was 18 when she realised that she was pregnant with her son when she lost her boyfriend in an accident. Yukio Briar is an assassin but he uses less bloody methods and one of them is poisoning his targets food by lacing it with a highly toxic chemical which has immediate effects or he kills them from afar with his guns or he does kill them with the same methods as his mother if neither of his other options work and his nickname is "the Poison Rose" by the "gardener". He joined the Eden academy in sake of helping Loid complete his mission and hopefully befriend Damian with no issues. He was certainly not a weak child and considering how he had hospitalised his uncle Yuri for several months after breaking his ribs and ruptured several of his internal organs and breaking both of his legs..it took a while for Yuri to recover.

Personality:

He always had top grades in every class as he did study properly and he can cook properly and does do better at it with no issues and no. He doesn't poison the family..only his targets. He is a good actor as he showed a innocent naivety and gullible facade when he ran into his targets so they didn't know his intentions and he does catch them off guard. He is greatly immune to poisons as he had eaten his mother's nasty cooking in the past and he had eaten so many that he didn't really care anymore. He is genuinely a nice kid and he is a lovely little boy with a kind-hearted nature and it is rare for him to actually shout or get angry as he is level-headed but once was frightening enough..when a mother loudly criticised his mother's parenting skills to her friends and he naturally lost his temper and stood up for his mother when he insulted this lady about her weight, her friends, her hair and her entire existence and the vicious insults and the colourful words kept on flowing and he could not stop himself and then he said "you are a mean lady if you think that insulting my mother boosts your ego..no wonder why your son wanted to live with his Dad instead!" Was his words..the lady actually got up crying and left. He can be scary when he was being intimidating and his scary assassin gaze matches his mother's. He did have poor art-skills as it was not his strong point and it looks like a toddler had done it and he was bad at it anyway or he had the ability to give people nightmares with his unsettling drawings. He was empathetic though in a way and he tried to help Anya with her homework to make it easier for her.

Skills:

He is highly intelligent and he had a 6th Sense when it comes to danger as he is a skillful fighter with the ability to fight with no issues..Loid even struggled to keep up. Yukio is capable of breaking bones and killing people if so inclined. He had inhuman strength in a way and considering how he is able to split a brick in half..don't pick a fight with him or play football with him. He is immune to poisons of different kinds and he is a good cook and he can frighten the absolute hell out of his targets when he says "wanna play?" Which was the exact opposite of his mother politely saying "can you do me the honour of taking your life?"..but Yukio does try to be careful with his strength off-duty and he may be a kid but he was certainly a skillful assassin

Apparance: *Exactly like in the photograph and he did have to wear glasses due to poor eyesight * and he doesn't look like his mom..he looks like his late father with his moles and blue eyes. He mostly wore a red cardigan with a black t-shirt underneath with black shorts and brown patient shoes off-duty. He wore similar clothing to his mother on duty.

Relationships:

Loid Forger's relationship with his "son"

Yor Briar's relationship with her son

Anya's relationship with her "big brother"

Bond's relationship with his owner

Damian's relationship with Yukio Forger *he did accidentally punch Damian on first meeting and the kid ended up hospitalised with a broken jaw for several days*

Becky Blackbell's relationship with Anya's "big brother"

Yuri's relationship with his nephew

The gardener's relationship with his skillful assassin

One other thing about him:

Yor doesn't know that her son is an assassin..he expressed his wishes to the gardener for him to keep it a secret for his sake.

*That's Yukio Briar..Yor's biological son and the hand on his head probably belongs to a teacher*

Wow, first OC request! I’ll probably just do a mini fic with just the family and their daily routine…. I like the idea of him eating Yor’s food so calmly meanwhile Anya and Loid are just on the ground like:

I’ll also add in the mission. I’m sorry if I read anything wrong and this is not the request but I will try my best to add all the information given.

Thanks for the request!

The mini fic will be added with the headcannons, don’t worry.

Law followed the little clown throughout the sinuous insides of the big top, through the narrow alleys between seats, one heeled foot fitting at a time. He held Kikoku higher against his shoulder, almost as if a parent would carry a toddler in a crowded space for fear of losing them. It was the dirt floor he minded, to spare his sword the dishonour of meeting with some gluttonous child's half-licked, sticky-as-glue lolly. Law grimaced at the vision of paper wraps and unpopped kernels of corn sprawled under his feet. How had he allowed himself to get caught up in this mess, again?

Oh, yes. The funny (as in 'peculiar' rather than 'amusing') clown girl had lassoed him in with the promise not of entertainment, but of medicine.

She had said she was a doctor, a claim that earned her a studious gaze bundled up in doubt. This orange thing was a doctor? For all his brilliance, Law did lack the necessary amount of self-awareness to recognise that most civilians, too, would doubt him a doctor when he sported a loose shirt buttoned up with haste over his jeans and black polish over his fingernails so casually. Both he and the clown were as far removed from the semblance of a textbook doctor, with their one white coat and two rows of white teeth arranged into a reassuring smile as could be. All things considered, it was discerning of a circus to harbour a medical team, only not right next to the menagerie, he hoped, for a nomadic, strenuous lifestyle offered plenty of opportunities for injury. And the jolly roger lulling in the wind above the tarpaulin had not escaped Law's atttentive watch. Pirates required medical assistance more than the average person.

❝ Listen, Raggedy Ann...! ❞ he started, an edge of warning to his voice, her jab at his aquatic lifestyle returned in kind as he manoeuvred the space towards the reserved compound of doors and platforms the audience had no idea lay within and underneath the circus. ❝ I'll have you know submarines are lots of fun. ❞

What the hell did she know of his literary soirées? Of the crew's monthly talent shows? Of the most exciting, free-for-all race to the loo after every Tuesday's taco dinner? Why, she was but a simpleton, all too excited to watch some other idiot in oversized shoes juggle up some balls and deem it as entertainment. If there was a literal embodiment of the panem et circenses phrase, here it was.

❝ I am not a man to be toyed with. I did not come here, to the very depths of Satan's rectum, to discuss the concept of merriment over tea with a child. Where is the chlorophyte? ❞

She had said, and not just in passing, to be in possession of a rare species of algae Law had read about in his studies. Although, admittedly, phycology was a field of pharmaceutical interest he generally buried under other priorities. The species was said to be at least a hundred times more efficient than other maritime eukaryotes in boosting immunity and serving as an anticancerous agent, nothing short of a miracle if proven true. If he could get this alga into his laboratory and multiply it so he got enough specimens to sample from... Only the hypothesis of an unprecedented scientific breakthrough could have made him enter the circus tent.

Trafalgar Law hissed, catlike when the faux flower hit him with a surprise drizzle. Though hygienic, he would rather take his shower the conventional way. Just like he would like to keep his feet not stepped on by stupid miniature velocipedes! ❝ I really, really hate the circus! I'll take my clowns in the form of Ruggero Leoncavallo, thank you.❞

His eyes were daggers directed at this Doctor Patches character, but then the gold in them melted and glinted with mischief. Kikoku made another move on his shoulder, ready to lose her sheath. ❝ There is no fucking chance a clown can trick me. ❞

Yesterday, August 26, was International Dog Day

Toddlers who grow up from two weeks old with dogs . Did you know: From a medical point of view, the immunity level of toddlers is then higher!!

 Recent studies in pediatric health have concluded that children who lived with pets (but especially dogs) during their first year of life actually had a better immune system than those who did not.

I have a question. My neighbour, whose front door is only 2 metres (6 feet) from my own front door, had cancer surgery 2 weeks ago. Once she's recovered, she will be starting chemotherapy. She is a lovely neighbour, and it is cold and flu season here in the Northern Hemisphere. I have promised her I will wear a mask whenever I am in the common areas, because I know she's immune-suppressed as fuck right now, and I really don't want to give her any bugs that could land her in hospital, and/or delay the chemo she needs.

Plus, I've been walking her dogs occasionally and taking out her garbage and recycling when she's too wiped. She can just leave the recycling on the mat outside her apartment door and text me that it's there. But with the dogs, she needs to hand me the leashes, so I need to get fairly close, even masked.

So here's my question (I finally got through all the explanatory blather. It only took 2 paragraphs). How many times can you reuse those paper masks before they stop being effective at keeping any germs on the inside of the mask? Particularly if I'm just wearing the mask for 5-10 minutes at a time, to check my mailbox in the lobby, or take out the garbage/recycling, or go down to the basement to do laundry. I'm pretty sure you don't need to discard the mask after a single use if you only used it for 5-10 minutes.

So I've been looping a paper mask over the inside doorknob of my front door to re-use. But now I'm worried I'll reuse the masks too often, they'll stop working, and I'll kill an extremely sweet neighbour. Did I mention her dogs are both rescues (who have their own Instagram account)? Or that she has a toddler grandson? Also, that she's on the strata council (Canadian-ese for the owners' council in a condominium building) and has been a prime source of gossip for me for the past 7 years as to what's going on in the building? Actually, she's on a leave of absence from the strata council right now, due to the cancer. But the point is, I actively LIKE this neighbour. I buy her vegan chocolate every Christmas because she's a vegan. I do not want to kill her.

I've also heard that the paper masks you have to discard are significantly better at blocking germs than the washable cloth masks that started showing up all over Etsy in March 2020 when even hospitals couldn't get medical grade PPE and the paper masks were nowhere to be bought. Is that true? That's why I've been using the paper masks, because I read that somewhere, but I can't remember if it was from a reliable source.

Sometimes I really wish I'd studied hard sciences at university instead of social sciences. That would've been much more useful in cases like this. Then I remember the reason I went into social science: my dreadful marks in high school math and chemistry. So I'm outsourcing this question to people who have expertise because they're actually good at this shit.

And yes, I tried DuckDuckGoing the answer before I turned to Tumblr (I don't google stuff anymore because Google is evil). The search results were wildly conflicting. If you don't know the answer either, please feel free to signal boost by reblogging. I really, really don't want to kill this very nice lady and leave her rescue dogs homeless.

Powdered drink mixes that are widely promoted as “toddler milks” for older babies and children up to age 3 are unregulated, unnecessary and “nutritionally incomplete,” the American Academy of Pediatrics warned Friday. The drinks, which are touted to parents on TikTok, in television ads and on other sites, often contain added sugar and salt. The manufacturers make unproven claims that the drinks boost kids’ brains or immune systems, said Dr. George Fuchs, a member of the AAP’s nutrition committee, which released the new report. Formula industry officials said the drinks could be useful for filling “nutrition gaps” in kids’ diets. But Fuchs said older babies and toddlers should be given a balanced diet of solid foods, as well as drink breast milk, fortified whole cow’s milk and water after age 1. [...] Infant formula is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and must meet certain nutrition requirements as a replacement for human milk for babies up to 12 months. The facilities where infant formula are made are regularly inspected. There are no federal regulations governing milk drink mixes for older babies and toddlers.

The Benefits of Probiotics for Toddlers

Probiotics for toddlers offer essential gut health support, aiding digestion and boosting immunity. These beneficial bacteria help maintain a balanced microbiome, potentially reducing the risk of allergies and digestive issues. Introducing probiotics through foods or supplements can promote overall well-being and contribute to healthy growth and development in young children.

The Pneumococcal Vaccines Market is in trends due to rising cases of pneumococcal diseases

Pneumococcal vaccines are crucial preventive measures against pneumococcal diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. The pneumococcus bacteria colonizes harmlessly in human's nose and throat but can cause invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) such as pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in children less than 5 years and older adults. Common pneumococcal vaccines available include PCV13 and PPSV23. PCV13 protects against 13 types of pneumococcus while PPSV23 protects against an additional 11 types. They help build immunity against invasive pneumococcal disease by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against pneumococcal strains. The global pneumococcal vaccines market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.5% over the forecast period 2024-2030. Key Takeaways Key players Key players operating in the pneumococcal vaccines market are Pfizer, Merck & Co., and GlaxoSmithKline. Pfizer dominates the market with its PCV13 vaccine Prevnar 13. Merck & Co. offers Pneumovax 23, which contains 23 types of pneumococcal polysaccharides. GlaxoSmithKline markets Synflorix, a pneumococcal vaccine for infants and toddlers. Growing demand The Pneumococcal Vaccines Market Growth is growing significantly due to increasing awareness about pneumococcal disease prevention and rising immunization coverage for at-risk groups like children and adults. Various countries have added pneumococcal vaccines to their national immunization programs to prevent morbidity and mortality from pneumococcal infections. Global expansion Major manufacturers are expanding their presence in developing markets like Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa through collaborations with local pharma players and governments. For example, Pfizer partnered with Bio Farma to supply its PCV13 vaccine in Indonesia to boost immunization rates. Market key trends One of the key trends in the pneumococcal vaccines market is the development of higher-valent conjugate vaccines with coverage for additional pneumococcal serotypes. Manufacturers are focusing on expanding the serotype coverage of existing vaccines through continued research and clinical trials. For example, Pfizer's 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate aims to protect against 20 types of pneumococcus. This would help reduce the burden of serotype replacement disease.

Porter’s Analysis Threat of new entrants: The pneumococcal vaccines market requires significant investments and regulations which create high entry barriers for new companies. Bargaining power of buyers: The bargaining power of buyers is moderate as there are limited product options available and switching costs are high in this market. Bargaining power of suppliers: A few large pharmaceutical companies dominate the supply of pneumococcal vaccines which gives them strong bargaining power over buyers. Threat of new substitutes: There are no close substitutes for pneumococcal vaccines currently, however research into new alternatives continues reducing threats from substitutes. Competitive rivalry: Major players like Pfizer and Merck compete aggressively on pricing and new product innovations to gain market share in this oligopolistic market. Geographical Regions North America currently accounts for the largest share of the global pneumococcal vaccines market valued at over USD 2 billion, due to high disease awareness, reimbursement policies and accessibility of new products in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. Rising healthcare expenditures, expanding vaccine coverage and increasing focus on preventive healthcare are some key factors driving high demand for pneumococcal vaccines in several Asian countries.

The Truth About Superfoods: Are They Worth It?

 “Discover expert insights on health and fitness, empowering you to achieve your wellness goals through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes for a healthier life.”

The Power of Health and Fitness: Protecting Our Little Ones Naturally

In today’s world, where health often seems complicated, understanding the benefits of natural solutions can be incredibly empowering. One study from the University of Rochester Medical Center highlights an important aspect of health: breast milk. Specifically, it shows how breast milk guards against rotavirus, a common stomach virus that can hit babies hard. Let’s explore how health and fitness intersect with this natural defense.

What is Rotavirus and Why is it a Concern?

Rotavirus is a nasty little bug. It causes diarrhea and vomiting, making kids feel miserable and leading to severe dehydration. While it’s most common among infants and toddlers, knowing its impact on our health is vital for all parents. The virus spreads easily in daycare settings or crowded places, leaving many kids vulnerable. So, how can we protect our children from this unwanted intruder?

The Role of Breast Milk in Health

Breast milk isn’t just food; it’s like a superhero shield for babies. Packed with nutrients and antibodies, it helps little bodies fight off infections. The study from Rochester shines a light on a specific protection against rotavirus. By providing essential immune support, breast milk reduces the risk of severe gastrointestinal issues in infants. It’s amazing to think that something so simple can play such a huge role in health.

Health Benefits Beyond Rotavirus

Beyond protecting against rotavirus, breast milk offers a treasure trove of other health benefits. It helps with brain development, boosts the immune system, and can even reduce the chances of chronic conditions later in life. Just think of it this way: a baby’s first meal isn’t just about nourishment; it’s a foundation for a healthy future.

Fitness and Growth: A Perfect Pair

While breast milk is crucial, health and fitness go hand in hand. As kids grow, encouraging physical activity becomes essential. Simple things like playing outside, riding a bike, or even dancing around the living room can all promote a healthy lifestyle. These activities not only strengthen their bodies but also support mental well-being. How cool is it that staying active can be so much fun?

Building Stronger Families Together

When families prioritize health and fitness, they create a supportive environment for kids. Sharing healthy meals, exercising together, and discussing wellness topics fosters a culture of health. It's like planting seeds in a garden; when nurtured, they blossom into something beautiful. Plus, kids learn valuable lessons about taking care of their bodies from a young age.

Conclusion: A Path to Wellness

Incorporating health and fitness into daily life, combined with the protective powers of breast milk, creates a robust shield for our young ones. The study highlights the importance of natural solutions in keeping kids safe from ailments like rotavirus. By focusing on nutrition, physical activity, and a supportive family environment, we pave the way for healthier generations. Together, let’s champion the natural defenses of our bodies and take steps toward a fit and healthy future.

A2 Cow Milk: A Nutrient-Rich Choice for Better Health

In today’s health-conscious world, choosing the right kind of milk can make a significant difference to your overall well-being. A2 cow milk has rapidly gained popularity as a superior, nutrient-rich alternative to regular milk. But what exactly sets A2 cow milk apart, and why should it be your go-to choice for better health? Let’s dive into the unique nutritional benefits that A2 cow milk offers.

A2 Cow Milk in Chennai

The Science Behind A2 Cow Milk

Milk contains different types of beta-casein proteins, the most common being A1 and A2. The distinction between A2 cow milk and regular milk lies in the type of beta-casein present. While regular milk contains a mix of both A1 and A2 proteins, A2 cow milk contains only the A2 beta-casein. This small difference in protein structure can have a big impact on how your body processes and benefits from milk.

Easier Digestion

One of the standout benefits of A2 cow milk is its easier digestibility. Many people who experience discomfort, bloating, or indigestion after consuming regular milk find that A2 cow milk is much gentler on their digestive system. The absence of the A1 protein, which can cause digestive issues in some individuals, makes A2 cow milk a more stomach-friendly option, allowing you to enjoy milk without the discomfort.

Fresh Cow Milk in Chennai

Rich Source of Essential Nutrients

A2 cow milk is packed with essential nutrients that contribute to a healthy diet. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is crucial for building and repairing tissues. Additionally, A2 cow milk is rich in calcium, promoting strong bones and teeth. The presence of other vital nutrients such as vitamins A, D, and B12 further enhances its nutritional profile, supporting immune function, energy production, and overall health.

Natural and Pure

A2 cow milk often comes from indigenous cow breeds that are traditionally raised in more natural environments. This means the milk is less likely to contain harmful additives, hormones, or antibiotics commonly found in mass-produced milk. By choosing A2 cow milk, you’re opting for a purer, more natural product that aligns with a healthier lifestyle.

A2 Cow Milk in Chennai

Supporting Heart Health

Research suggests that A2 cow milk may be better for heart health compared to regular milk. Some studies indicate that the A2 beta-casein in A2 cow milk does not produce the same harmful byproducts as the A1 protein, which has been linked to increased risk of heart disease. By making the switch to A2 cow milk, you may be taking a proactive step toward protecting your cardiovascular health.

Ideal for the Whole Family

From toddlers to the elderly, A2 cow milk is a nutritious option for everyone in the family. Its easy digestibility makes it suitable for young children, while its nutrient-rich profile supports the health needs of adults and seniors. Whether you’re looking to boost your child’s growth or maintain your own well-being, A2 cow milk is a wholesome addition to your daily diet.

Fresh Cow Milk in Chennai

Conclusion

A2 cow milk stands out as a nutrient-rich choice that offers numerous health benefits. Its easier digestibility, pure nature, and support for heart health make it an ideal option for those seeking a healthier alternative to regular milk. By incorporating A2 cow milk into your diet, you’re not just choosing better milk—you’re choosing better health for yourself and your family.
