We're gonna go out of order for this so first Gamer - I like to game, 26 - the date of my birthday/favorite number, for the Art-Stop on here - I like to post art. Now for the Heart part. It come from having a CHD or congenital heart defect (pretty much means from birth) known as Tricuspid Atresia. Growing up I would have a series of surgeries to try to fix it to the best of their ability (If I understand correctly how they do it now is a bit different than how they did it for me due to advances in medical field). These series were a Fontan Operation , a shunt place, a shunt repair, adding a pacemaker and then replacing the pacemaker. It's going to be with me for the rest of my life so to help me embrace it in my own weird way I added Heart to a lot of my usernames. TLDR - I have a Heart Defect, I'm a Gamer, 26 is my favorite number/birthdate, and on here Art-Stop is because I like to post art Now then I tag @sapphire-heart-tippy @peskyvinot @soraxkingdom
How did you get your guy's usernames? I'll start
I named my account after Muxus, Goblin Grandee, my favorite MTG card :)

Why are you in my head? Pt. 5
Sneak Peek: Eddie and you are soulmates. The legend of soulmates is that you start to hear one another’s thoughts around age 16 – not all the time, but when you’re feeling a strong emotion. It simply flows out of you and into the other, the legend also states that the closer you are, the more you can hear them. **The events of season 4 did NOT happen** I did also use some of the dialogue
Bold are Eddie’s thoughts; Italics are reader’s thoughts. (mind you, they are essentially hearing both sets of thoughts)
Eddie Munson x Fem Sunshine! Reader (Soulmate AU)
Fluff - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4**
Word count: 1893
REQUESTS ARE OPEN - not edited - please be kind. Feedback is welcome if it's constructive!
Warnings: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! My blog is 18+, minors DNI, explicit language, mention of hospitals, mention and brief description of childbirth, mention of birth defects (CHD), mention of surgery/aftermath, no use of y/n, fem reader, let me know if I missed any!
That being said I do not own the characters portrayed in this story.
“Ughhh, why isn’t he answering?” You shouted into the living room.
Now is not the time for you to be this busy Eddie!!!
You thought about it a little while longer, debating calling Eddie again or calling someone else. That was when you decided to call Wayne.
“Hello?” Wayne answered gruffly.
“Hey Wayne, are you uh, are you busy right now?” You asked.
“Hey darlin’ is everything okay?” He questioned.
“Yeah, well not actually, Eddie isn’t answering his phone and I ugh…I need to go to the hospital.” You rambled.
“Okay, you hang tight, I will be there soon! Keep calling Eddie okay?”
With that, Wayne hung up the phone and made his way to the truck, ignoring most traffic laws in hopes to get to you as soon as he, legally, can.
Eddie Munson if you do not pick up your phone I SWEAR TO ALL THINGS HOLY!!!
Shit, shit, shit!!! Is it time? I’m on my way!!!
The last seven years had been a whirlwind. Eddie had proposed to you six months after you heard him tell Wayne he was going to, that was 1986.
It was now 1993, and things were completely different than when you met Eddie. Since then, your parents had retired and started going on cruises, which is where they happened to be now. Wayne still worked at the factory but had cut back on his hours to help you and Eddie out.
Eddie got a job at a local body shop, he had stopped dealing drugs because it wasn’t safe anymore, given the expansion of your family. You had gone to school and were now working as a nurse, taking after your mom.
Your parents had surprised you and Eddie after you got married by buying you a house, they had sold theirs and bought a trailer, close to Wayne’s seeing as they were travelling so much. The house they bought you was modest, a one story, three-bedroom, two bathroom. It had a nice grassy yard that allowed you to host your friends should you choose. It also had a basement which was perfect for Eddie to transform into the ultimate DND room.
You had been pregnant at the wedding, not that either of you had been aware of that fact. You had found out about a month later and in the fall of 1987 your first child was born.
Eddie and you had two beautiful children, a son, Ronnie 6, and a daughter, Vivian 3. Both are named after members of Dio. You were hesitant at first, but after Eddie really got you into metal music (especially Dio) you caved.
Which leads you to now, spring 1993, you were currently in labor with your twins. Naturally Eddie wasn’t answering his phone, he hadn’t even wanted to get a mobile phone, but you had convinced him when you found out the potential risks of a multiples pregnancy. With your parents on a ship somewhere in the Mexican Riviera, you had no other choice but to call Wayne.
A knock on the door shook you out of your thoughts. You waddled your way over to the door, just as Wayne let himself in.
“Thank you for coming Wayne!” You huffed.
Eddie you had better be at the hospital for this birth!
“Of course, kiddo. Where are the rugrats?” Wayne asked.
“They’re with Steve and Nancy today.” You explained as you gathered your things.
I’m on my way! Please be okay!
“You got everything you need?” Wayne asked.
“Uh yeah…” looking around one last time, “I think that’s everything.” You nodded.
Wayne reached for your bag and led you out to his truck. He opened your door for you and helped you up into the truck, refusing to leave your side until you were settled and buckled in. He finally made his way around to the driver’s side and started your journey to the hospital.
“Any word from the boy yet?” Wayne questioned.
“Not via phone if that’s what you’re asking” you took a sharp breath in “I can hear him internally panicking though.” You huffed out a laugh, trying to control your breathing.
As Wayne wheeled you into the hospital, a horde of your coworkers made their way to you. They were congratulating you, helping you get checked in, ensuring you were okay and honestly it was becoming a bit overwhelming. All you wanted was for Eddie to be by your side and for these babies to exit your womb.
Where are you?
I’m here, I’m here. Please don’t have the babies without me!
An OB nurse and Wayne walked with you to your room, Wayne began setting your things up around the room while the nurse got your vitals and those of the babies. While she did this, you could hear shoes scuffing along the linoleum floors.
“I’m here!” Eddie hollered, out of breath.
“Glad you could make it.” You bit. “Sorry, it’s the contractions talking.”
“It’s okay baby!” Eddie leaned over and kissed your forehead.
He walked over to assist Wayne in setting up the rest of your things. The two of you had made a list and were sure to pack all the things you wished you had during the last two births.
“I um, I got everything I need here. I’m just going to go get your doctor and I will be right back.” The nurse expressed wearily before making her exit.
She clearly didn’t read the chart and is concerned about Toni’s CHD.
Eddie let out a slight chuckle which caused Wayne to shoot him a questioning glance. Wayne let Eddie know he was going to go get a coffee and that he’d be in the waiting room. He also informed you guys that he would call your parents and your friends to inform them you were in labor.
“Hey you two! You ready to have these babies?” Your doctor asked as she entered your room.
“Hey Dr. Evans, and yes I am so ready for these two to be out of me!” You sighed.
“Well good, because by the looks of it, you shouldn’t have to wait too much longer.” Dr. Evans explained. “Also, I am sorry about the nurse earlier, she’s new, she doesn’t know you work here, or that you guys are more than aware of Toni’s congenital heart disease.”
“It’s okay!” You released a shaky breath as another contraction rolled through you.
“Can you explain it all to me again? I know we’ve gone over it, I just, I want to hear it again.” Eddie pleaded.
“Of course, so Toni has a tiny hole in her heart wall, so once she is out, our pediatric surgeon will take her to the operating room and repair it! Once it is all fixed up, she will be in the NICU for a little while, just while she heals and then she will be all set to go home and grow up! She will have to have regular checkups, but she’ll lead a relatively normal life.” Dr. Evans explained.
A hole in her heart, Jesus. She’s not even born and already her life is hard.
“Eds, honey she’s going to be okay. This is sadly more common than you’d think.”
Eddie placed his hand on your shoulder, appreciating your support. You looked up at him as another contraction ripped through you. You took a few more deep breaths, glancing over to Dr. Evans. She checked you once more and informed you that it was time.
Everything happened seemingly all at once. First out was Ozzy, he was taken over to be cleaned up and measured, next was Toni who was almost immediately taken to her surgery. Dr. Evans stitched you up (birthing twins was no joke…neither was the tearing that occurred) and congratulated you both. She also let you know that someone would be by to keep you updated on Toni’s status.
Eddie was sitting in the recliner holding Ozzy while you rested. Steve and Nancy were on their way with your kids, excited to meet the new additions to your family. Robin and Dustin called to let you know they’d be by soon and they were bringing you some real food.
A nurse stopped in to let you know that Toni was still in surgery, but it was going well, when you heard tiny feet slapping against the floor, growing in volume.
“Mommy!” Ronnie yelled, running to your bedside.
“Hey bug.” You reached your hand down to brush his curls back out of his face.
“Sorry! He’s so fast!” Steve apologized.
Steve lifted Ronnie and placed him at the foot of your bed, all the while Nancy was walking in with Vivian, who was fast asleep in her arms. She smiled at you and wished you congratulations and when her gaze landed on Eddie, she couldn’t help but coo at the sleeping baby resting on his chest.
Robin and Dustin entered moments later with a pizza, some soda, and a few gift bags in hand.
“Hey! Any word on Toni yet?” Robin asked as she wrapped you in a hug then made her way to poke at Ronnie, who burst into a fit of giggles.
“Uh not yet, the nurse just let us know that her surgery was going well.” Eddie explained.
The night seemed to drag, the food and good company was a nice distraction from the fact that your daughter’s tiny heart was being worked on. You were thankful for your friends, especially that they’d all been so willing to hang around until you heard more.
“Hey there” Dr, Evans popped her head in your room “I just wanted to let you know that Toni is out of surgery, she did great and is on her way to the NICU now! I can take you both over there if you’d like to see her?”
You glanced at your friends who all nodded in unison, their way of silently telling you to go and that they could watch Ronnie and Vivian. You smiled at them and allowed Eddie to help you into a wheelchair. Dustin gently handed Ozzy back to you and then Dr. Evans escorted you to the NICU.
“So don’t be alarmed, she’s hooked up to a few machines, but it is just to monitor her heart function and her vitals.” Dr. Evans stated, more so for Eddie than you.
Eddie pushed your chair over to the incubator that currently housed your daughter. You looked in at her, she was so tiny, there was a small bandage placed on her chest. Looking over at Dr. Evans, she nodded signaling it was okay for you to open the side panel and hold your baby.
You reached your left hand in while cradling Ozzy in your right. Eddie made his way around to the other side and reached in to hold Toni’s other hand.
She’s so beautiful, they both are.
You’re so beautiful. Thank you for making me a dad, again.
A tear slipped down your cheek. You were so incredibly happy to have Eddie by your side and four beautiful children. You couldn’t wait to be by their sides as they found love the same way you had with Eddie.
This life was such a gift, and you were so grateful for all of it.
Thank you for bringing light into my life. Thank you for loving me.

What set abuse allegations did Rachel Bilson brush off?
Here's a rough timeline... sorry I went maybe deeper into detail than you were expecting
Mischa to E! on May 14, 2021: "[...] sort of general bullying from some of the men on set that kind of felt really shitty. But, you know, I also loved the show and had to build up my own walls and ways of getting around dealing with that and the fame that was thrust specifically at me. Just dealing with like the amount of invasion I was having in my personal life, I just felt very unprotected, I guess is the best way to put it.”
Within I want to say a week or two, Rachel and Melinda are asked about Mischa's interview on their podcast (or Danny Pellegrino's, it really doesn't matter, it was uploaded as part of the show podcast for 106) and they both say they never saw bullying on set. And they both extend an invitation to MB to come on their pod to explain herself? It's maddening.
RB says, trying to be funny, "I mean come on, clearly she was having fun. I mean, this episode she’s just making out with Ben McKenzie. What could be so wrong? And listening to Rooney.”
And because we know now that Ben and Mischa dated during s1, that's extra salt in the wound. Rachel of all people was aware of their saga, even if it was 20 years ago. As if dating someone and listening to live music..... means there was no mistreatment?
So then the show's mysterious entities speak to Page Six on June 2, 2021, probably mad that Mischa's interview is now costing them money because the podcast purports the show experience to be sunshine and rainbows and that Mischa herself was the problem, not them.
Their set source (I repeat, this is a 20 year old show with a random set source talking to Page Six) says, “So now she wants to go say that she was bullied,” the source continued. “It wasn’t that she was bullied. People didn’t appreciate waiting for hours for her to show up.”
The source also added that Barton — who played Marissa Cooper until she exited the series in Season 3 — had a momager who was “annoying.”
“It was a mess,” the source sniffed.
And that's its own POS mess. They also try to throw MB's mother under the bus in the book by saying she...... advocated for her daughter? By working as her manager and being on set? Nuala is on my shit list for a 1000 reasons and none of them are because she was on set advocating for her child/client. They really thought they did something with this Page Six hit job.
But Mischa responded to it with this kickass statement, "There was a lot going on. Whether I was late or not doesn’t excuse certain behavior from individuals in powerful positions. Everyone experiences things differently and where I acknowledge some of my past behavior may not have been helpful in certain instances, I will tell my truth when I feel ready.”
Then on June 11, 2021, Mischa published this op-ed in Harper's Bazaar UK.
There's radio silence on the issue until Adam Brody appears on the podcast for 126 in November 2021 and the pod women tell him (poorly, I may add) about the E interview from May. He says he didn't see any bullying but that he rarely worked with MB. Says he feels good about his own behavior with her. He does say that set is not a protective environment and several other nice things about her that put him in my good books forever.
Then there's true radio silence until Mischa finally agrees to be on the podcast during a weekend fandom convention she attends with Melinda and Tate in August 2022. They film the pod ep in December 2022 and it's posted in January 2023. None of the bullying allegations are discussed.
The allegations are also never mentioned in the celebratory book that is published in November 2023.
MB is asked about on-set bullying on CHD in February this year and in her answer mentions backtalk with some people behind the scenes, and brings up friction with guest stars.
Since then, Mischa has posted photos on IG that Rachel has commented on and Mischa replied to one of them in kind so I'd say things between them are... decent.
#ask#anonymous#mischa barton#sorry if i'm missing anything#i think mb's issues mainly lie with two men on that set in particular and much less rb#she is far too graceful in giving those two projects her time and attention but anyway. a better person than i

It’s a bit rich to assume Colson would know the existence of that video let alone ask his so called ‘friend’ for editing or deleting it. That interview happened sometime last week and only bc his fans found it are we even having a discussion.
Maybe you need to go back and check the interview as it was Brittany who broached that topic when she said Christina & Colson should date. Only then did the friend ‘shot her shot’ even while doubting if he was even single. Again it was her that then said they are on & off by quoting Megans interview out of context during Coachella or her ig posts. If she gets her info like how we all do then she must atleast be updated before wading into that territory.
Also Jelly called Megan his WIFE. Not gf or anything but WIFE. Not sure about anyone but I would assume that would be a serious breach of privacy if anyone called someone their wife without their consent first. Are you going to tell me that he did it without Colson/Megans permission or consent? Why would anyone assume anything else if that’s the last we heard about the relationship.
Also this whole business of saying they are constantly on & off is maybe a bit of a stretch as frankly that’s more of a folklore atp , as I haven’t seen either of them ever say they are off. It’s more of a projection from doomsday sayers. What Megan said in CHD interview was that she thinks the relationship is not for public consumption and that she would always be tethered to him in some way. That doesn’t mean they are not a couple . Also all these things that anyones quoting are from Feb & April. Not sure how’s that relevant now after we know they are still together.
I believe they are on and off, based on how many times they've physically broken up. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, and neither is Brittany. I'm sure if Dub, Baze, Slim, or Rook were on a panel, they would say the same. I'm sure for some couples that is neither healthy nor normal, but that is the reality for them. Colson even mentioned it on Bunnie's podcast that the "hate" doesn't know if they are winning or losing, and sometimes they've won. What about that doesn't give you the perception that they are on and off? Tethered in some way? Doesn't give you the perception of a woman trying to figure out her situation with a guy? She can't even call him her fiancé, boyfriend, or husband. Heck, she won't even give him an inch and call him an ex. If I didn't know any better, I'd drop the relationship title completely and call it a situation ship since neither of them know what to call themselves.
Now I'll admit, I didn't watch the entirety of Brittany's podcast, just the snippets I've seen online. However, even with that little information, I still don't think it's a huge deal. Brittany is not following accounts like foxy kells to keep up with Megan and Colson. The average individual most likely assumed that they are broken up, hence the many comments you see on posts of them together questioning the validity of their relationship. What loyalty does she owe to a relationship that she doesn't even think still exists? Jelly calling Megan Colson's wife is not this huge declaration, at least not in the south. If Colson and Megan really broke up, and he moved on to Shelly at the gas station, guess who's his wife now...
Jelly, Bunnie, Brittany, are all Colson's friends. They are not Megan and Colson's friends, they are his friends first. Bunnie, although very sweet, is not besties with Megan like Jelly and Colson are with each other. If things hit the fan, they will go where he goes and run to his aid. Megan has more of a relationship with the Kardashians than she does with these people. So like I said before, he can always call for the video to be edited, or solidify his relationship with Brittany so she won't continue trying to pimp him out to her friends. And considering "he sees everything" per EST, then I'm sure he's seen the video floating around.

i'm 35 and the oc has been my entire life as a teenager/young adult and i love this show so much. i was wondering when you became a fan and what does your life look like now? do you still rewatch it a lot? what are your least favorite plotlines in s1-s4? i love hearing your thoughts. take care :)
Hi! You're very sweet, thank you! So just as a heads up my answers here are going to veer into the negative because I'm in a super negative space with the show as of late and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I apologize in advance for the soapbox. (and I mean really really negative)
For starters, I never watch the final season. I barely even watch s3, and haven't seen a complete s3 episode in a while. Certain scenes, though, yes and on a loop. Though not lately. But the final season doesn't exist to me because I find it repulsive and a stain on the entire show before it, even the horrendous third season. I often wish I could be like Adam Brody and separate the show into 's1 vs the other bullshit'. Believe me, I'm trying. Though I'd say splitting the show in half is best since you get to end on the shooting. S1 is on another level entirely and it wasn't until CHD that I understood why (for the most part). And that's a really terrible realization the more I think about it.
I'm almost 30 and I started watching when I was about 16 in high school. My life now is... not very exciting, lol. I work too much. Sometimes I don't work enough. I struggle with mental health (as evidenced by how seriously I take this stuff). I got into this show maybe a year or two after it had been off the air and Tumblr (and FanForum) was a super fun place to be at that time (2009/2010ish). The remaining Marissa fandom in particular was just cozy and sweet. We saw ourselves in her, had head canons, made fan art, discussed what she'd be up to, etc. I obviously wasn't part of the OG Marissa/Mischa fandom so I was pretty unaware of the shit they dealt with. On Tumblr we just celebrated her and it meant a lot to me.
For years, I, like many, thought Mischa chose to leave on her own. I could semi-stomach 325 as an arc, while still refusing to watch the next season in rewatches. This is the 2010s when JS was yelling "Tragedy was in her DNA" etc. But ever since MB started talking more about her experiences in 2021, and the podcast talking around her and Marissa forever, not to mention their shitty responses to her claims of bullying by men in power, I have been on a downward trajectory with it. The book is giving us maybe 10% of what really happened on that set. Mischa has been carrying the secret of her first relationship on her shoulders for 20 years, one that went on for months when she was 17 years old, and they all well fucking know that. I am in genuine disbelief at how they treated her then and how they treat her now. This isn't a fictional character. This is a real fucking person they keep screwing over!
But that does bring me to my next point which is that this show was unbelievably influenced by irl dynamics and I think that is disgusting. It's not just stealing Death Cab away from Adam (though I have my own thoughts on all that). There's a reason Ryan never pines for Marissa in the same way she pines for him in s2. Why he pretends she doesn't exist when he isn't dating her (from s2 on). There's an extremely charged energy to the way he verbally abuses her in 209. Like... this happened to MB at just 18. And look at how they modeled Volchok after Cisco and how they made MB pretend to do coke on camera when they knew full well she had a sober coach on set. Like, I know enough to put me off the show forever, but I am unfortunately endlessly fascinated by it. I'm sorry that I can't take the show at face value anymore, because it did and does still mean a great deal to me. But they thought they were in the clear 20 years later to only partially air their dirty laundry without much pushback and MB had the guts to say "well hold on" and be a thousand times more graceful doing so than I ever would. And we still don't know even a fraction of everything else that went down to this very real teenage girl they used and abused. Not to mention how JS/SS abruptly fired her and didn't even have the balls to tell her to her face. Her father told Josh's ass to stay away from the 325 set and he DID. Christ alive, this man should never work again.
I don't feel great about going all guns blazing here but I'm very tired and I get very little joy from the show right now. And I'm sorry that this is definitely not the response you were probably hoping for. To be clear, I want to enjoy the show. It means more to me than any other, probably. It's why I've been on this website since I was a teenager. But many aspects of it have been ruined for me and idk if there's a way back. How they purport themselves to be a family show still to this day when they treated the girl that they pursued for the job (at 16!) like shit is egregious. I will never be over it.
Sigh
To answer your actual questions, my least favorite plotlines (from s1-s3) are:
Johnny
Jimmy leaving in 207
Dean Hess
DJ
Julie/Luke
Lindsay/Caleb/Ryan
Charlotte
Hospital/Newport Group
Seth/pot (on paper this sounds wonderful but in execution it is as lifeless as the second half of the entire show)
Oliver (for good measure, officially when they jump the shark; he drives me crazy but TH does such a good job playing him that I'm ok with it until all of its aftermath is unfairly put on Marissa)
#ask#anonymous#yoga breathing tbh#ik this is often like a source blog but here are my mostly unfiltered thoughts#maybe one day i'll enjoy it like i used to#but also this site is dying and i may just fade away

A bit of an informative post this time, a little bit about me and my art;
• I’m 19 years old.
•Female, She/Her
•American
•(Mostly) Straight. I’ve never been attracted to an IRL woman, but if Jolyne Cujoh was offering, I’m not gonna say no.
•I am in college and studying to be a marine biologist.
•I’m autistic and tend to overexplain things. Usually I don’t like the publicize it, but given that this is an information post I figured it would be worth mentioning.
•I’ve been drawing seriously since about 5th grade, so… give or take about 9 years.
•I used to be a primarily traditional artist, pen and paper, you know. But once I got out of high school, I found it difficult to do it- something about the environment of general highschool made drawing like that easier I guess?? I don’t draw every day, like I used to, but I still make a habit of doing it.
•Despite that, I still very much am a detail oriented artist, leading to my more detail-focused art style and tendency to not color my drawings and just focus on the sketches. I put a lot of detail into my linework, but every time I end up coloring, I find that the sketch always looked better. I do want to work on coloring, though, as I feel my art is not as eye catching to an audience without it.
•My other hobbies other than art consist of playing video games and writing. I’m a decent writer.
•I’ve been in a multitude of communities over the years, and although I’m not active in most of them anymore, I figured it would be useful to list them, just because this is an ‘about me’ post.
•My communities (that I’ve at least made one piece of art for) over the years;
-Undertale and Deltarune (UT and DR)
-Homestuck (HS)
-Marvel (MCU)
-Overwatch (OW)
-JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (JJBA)
-Shovel Knight (SK)
-Cuphead (CHD)
-Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)
-Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF)
-Fire Emblem (FE)
-SCP Foundation (SCP)
-Attack on Titan (AOT)
-Pokémon (PKMN)
-The Legend of Zelda (LOZ)
-The Binding of Isaac (TBOI)
-Minecraft (MC) (NOT Minecraft YT, just the game.)
-Dungeons and Dragons (DND)
-Kirby (KRBY)
-Splatoon (SPTN)
-Persona 5 (P5)
-Cult of the Lamb (COTL)
-Dead Cells (DEDC)

-Cyberpunk 2077 (CBP)
-Harry Potter (Regrettably) (HP)
-Final Fantasy 7 (FF7)
-Red Dead Redemption (RDR)
-Terraria (TR)
-Pikmin Series (PIK)
-Alien (The Movie Series) (ALN)
-Stardew Valley (SDV)
-The Disastrous Life of Saiki K (SAIK)
-Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza/Judgment Series (RGG) •Current Fanbase•
-
•Authors note: I’m not aware of the abbreviations for some of these fanbases so I just kinda made some up. If I got one wrong, shoot me a message and let me know! I’ll change it.
•I tend to focus on one fanbase at a time.
•These are just the fanbases that I’ve ever made art for. This isn’t all the games I’ve played/shows I’ve watched. Just the ones I’ve made art for at some point in time. If I were to list everything I’ve ever watched/played, this list would be way longer, and it’s plenty long as is.
•Don’t expect most of my stuff to be colored. 90% of my drawings are sketches. That’s why it’s called ‘Vanilla’s Sketch Extravaganza’.

That whole never being in love thing always felt like it was half a marketing tactic and half he doesn’t know what it is. That’s why in CHD he says he thinks he’s been in love, but that it changes once he meets someone new. Even mentioned his highschool girlfriend in the interview. And then he thinks the new person is love. He said he thinks your idea of love gets dialed in as you get older and know what you want. Jack said he still hasn’t felt the highest heights of love. Which I agree with. Because I definitely thought I was in love with my highschool boyfriend. But it’s really just what I was mentally capable of at the time. It was more so infatuation.
If you don’t fall in love with everyone you date are you even a true lover

Key Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease by Richard Zelman, MD
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions affecting both your heart and circulatory systems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. While genetics play an essential role, leading a healthy lifestyle may help lower your risk of CVD.
Age, sex, and family history of early heart disease cannot be changed; however, other risk factors can be reduced through diet, exercise, and medication.
Age
Richard Zelman MD, highlights that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including heart attacks and strokes, are the leading cause of global mortality. Though CVDs can be avoided and treated through lifestyle modifications and medications, their risk increases with age. However, certain modifiable factors like smoking can be altered easily, and others like poor diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol abuse may take more effort to modify.
One piece of research sought to evaluate the impact of certain modifiable risk factors on cardiovascular events and mortality among Chinese adults. The results of a nationwide prospective cohort study illustrated how much CVD can be attributed to modifiable risk factors, with their effects differing among age groups.
Metabolic risk factors made up the most significant portion among deaths among participants aged 40-55 years, with hypertension being the key contributor. By comparison, lifestyle and socioeconomic risk factors made up more of the deaths among participants aged 55-75 years, with poor sleep duration and low education being critical contributors to this figure. These results support age-specific risk factor profiles as the foundation of accurate prediction, early detection, and customized interventions targeted toward specific aging populations.
Gender
Studies often fail to account for gender-specific effects and the relationship between specific risk factors and clinical endpoints; this often leads to misinterpretation of data - as shown by a male-to-female mortality ratio of 2.5-4.5 for coronary heart disease (CHD). Furthermore, cardiovascular specialists tend to prescribe guideline-recommended drugs less frequently for women after heart attacks, contributing to more symptoms as well as an increase in mortality in this population.
Although some differences between male and female CVD phenotypes can be explained by biological mechanisms, such as gene or hormone levels, their relative contribution remains undefined. It will also be essential to take gender-based influencing mechanisms as well as sociocultural dimensions of biological sex into consideration in future investigations of risk factors, as suggested by Richard Zelman, MD.
Gender-specific influences often arise during life events such as pregnancy complications, breast cancer therapy, or rheumatic diseases. Psychosocial influences have also been shown to vary according to gender; lifestyle choices and stressors differ according to gender; for instance, a higher risk of cardiovascular disease due to chronic psychosocial stress is observed among women than men and work-related stress has more negative health repercussions for female employees than their counterparts in male employees; therefore gender-specific concepts and a clear definition of biological sex must be developed to implement SDOH within patient management strategies effectively.
Family History
An increased family history of heart disease, particularly premature coronary artery disease, is linked to an increased risk of future cardiovascular events; however, its precise strength remains unknown as detailed family histories cannot always be collected due to various constraints, particularly in low and middle-income countries, as mentioned by Richard Zelman, MD.
According to the perspective of Richard Zelman, MD, offspring who reported parents with premature cardiovascular disease had significantly higher risks for offspring cardiovascular events compared to those without such histories, with 8-year event rates increasing steadily as predicted risk increased. Parental history is emerging as the strongest predictor of cardiovascular event risks after controlling for conventional individual risk factors and various nontraditional and traditional risk factors.
At least one first-degree relative with early-onset heart disease was linked with an almost doubling of cardiovascular risk among men and a 70% increase in risk among women after taking into account traditional and other risk factors; this finding highlighted the significant contribution familial history can make in assessing cardiovascular disease risk.
Lifestyle
Many risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body weight, can be modified.
As highlighted by Dr Richard Zelman, MD, modifiable risk factors can be altered through lifestyle modifications, such as giving up smoking, or switching to eating healthily. They also include physical activity and stress management.
Behavioral risk factors include unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, and insufficient physical activity. These risk factors often overlap - for instance, secondhand smoke exposure increases your risks of high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and diabetes.
Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fish and low in saturated fats and salt lowers cardiovascular disease risk; medication for high blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes may also help.
Health policies that foster a culture of wellness provide incentives to make healthier choices, and support individuals to sustain these behaviors are invaluable in combating cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes in our globalized world.

What is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?
Did you know that the prevalence of CAD in Indians is 21.4% for diabetics and 11% for non-diabetics? In addition, CAD is more prevalent in urban areas than rural ones. Medical experts from the best cardiology hospital in Nagercoil exclaim that cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in India, CAD is one of them after a heart attack. Let us understand what is CAD, its causes, and its warning signs.
What is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?
CAD is a type of heart disease where the arteries can’t supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
This occurs due to the plaque buildup that blocks one or more of the coronary arteries, leading to heart attack, cardiac arrest, and other complications. CAD is also referred to as coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic heart disease.
Types of Coronary Artery Disease
CAD can be broadly classified into two categories:
Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
This is a chronic form of CAD where the arteries gradually narrow over the years. The patient may feel some symptoms as the heart receives less oxygen-rich blood.
Acute Coronary Syndrome
The second type of CAD is a medical emergency where the plaque in the artery suddenly ruptures, forming a blood clot that restricts blood flow to the heart. This may cause a heart attack too.
What are the signs of Coronary Artery Disease?
Our experienced cardiologist at Ponjesly Hospital, one of the best heart hospital in nagercoil, identifies chest pain or angina as the primary symptom of CAD. The symptoms of CAD often go unrecognized due to which it is also termed as ‘silent killer’. Below mentioned are the signs and symptoms of CAD:
Tightness in the middle of the chest or on the left
Shortness of breath
Feeling tired all the time
Heart attack that goes unnoticed
What are the causes of Coronary Artery Disease?
Our team of proficient cardiologists mention Atherosclerosis as the underlying cause of CAD. Atherosclerosis occurs when a waxy substance or plaque builds up on the walls of arteries. Over time, the plaque narrows down your coronary arteries resulting in coronary artery disease. Patients with plaque buildup in their coronary arteries often have buildup in other parts of their body, too.
Risk Factors of Coronary Artery Disease
While some of the risk factors can be controlled through lifestyle changes, some can’t.
Some of the risk factors include:
As one age, the risk of CAD also increases
A family history of cardiovascular diseases imposes a greater risk for CAD
Lack of physical activity
Poor lifestyle habits
High blood pressure and cholesterol
Preventive Measures to Reduce the Risk of CAD
The following preventive measures can not only mitigate the chances of CAD but also help you lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
Eat balanced diet
Quit smoking and drinking
Keep an eye on your diabetes and blood pressure
Maintain healthy weight

-not to mention..... my heart at all the lenny scenes. the way he talks about her... respects her.... sees her for what she is worth and sees her for all her strengths.... which btw kinda felt annoyed that she blew joel a kiss at the show bc what the fuck did he do besides make her miserable her entire career ..whereas lenny on the other hand... dear sweet lenny.. he did nothing but hype her up. her #1 fan. the only other person besides suz that never doubted her. always saw her worth and made sure she knew it... god that scene at the chinese food restaurant killed me with the fortune cookie. heart eyes on the way he talks about her and talks TO her about her 4L
-speaking about amazing men loving amazing woman. the wisdom that Miss C I A R A dropped on CHD really put things into perspective again. it was kinda my wake up call from the delusion ive been living in since july but also just like put me back on track to my anchoring faith that my mans really is out there and we really are becoming stronger and stronger every day for each other and the life we are going to create together. like it made me reallllllllllly happy knowing that there is gonna be somebody that God is creating for me, and we will be better together than i can even imagine in my tiny human brain. so yeah im just excited.
-also karma is real. and i need to stop lying about why im showing up to work late every day ( even tho it's kinda true ...)
-theme of my 20s is patience because good things come to those who wait but great things come to those that observe gratitude while waiting :))))))

(And this isn’t directly related to justin) but i also keep seeing how selena should defend hailey/respect her/be amicable with her (i cant really find the right word) but if we ignore everything hailey ever did (the theories about her shading selena/copying her, etc), she still spend all her teen and adult years trying to get with selena’s boyfriend completely disregarding her and disrespecting her in the process to get to her goal so why should selena do anything for hailey??
yeah like i don’t think people should’ve hated on her as much as they did and the whole situation got blown out of proportion thanks to tiktok
but!! hailey went on the damn chd podcast which i think was what really started this whole thing. bc why the fuck would u randomly go on this podcast FOUR years after u got married to “clear the air”. doing that right after selena’s docu trailer dropped… it was just so obviously preventative damage control (ironically jb was barely even mentioned in that entire documentary)
what irked me the most was blatantly lying and saying that selena never defended her from the hate. the host clearly never did her research bc there is video evidence of selena telling her fans to be nice and not send hate (implied at hb). the fact that they tried to spin this around on selena to make her seem like this big bad villain when jb never once defended her from his demonic fans…. the exp0singsmg blog, the weird mexican comments at his roast session, the general disrespect she got…. and he never did shit!!!

Different anon. She might not be racist, but she is the very least aware of white privilege, or she wouldn't have allegedly changed eye color to make the most out of it. She has this weird thin nose obsession: she was unironically freaking out on the CHD podcast about lack of make up, even after the countless surgeries and on the Instagram live where she applied makeup on her man, she kept praising him for how much small his nose is, same man who fathered a biracial black daughter. There is more. All the boasting about how special and unique the kids she would have with "twin flame" would be, the fixation with "blonde angel baby" being half Norwegian, the mention of their ancestors teaming up (where did they meet, on the Mayflower?) just to bring them together... if you don't want to see her as “colorist”, “featurist” or as somebody "proud about being white", you have to admit she is at least extremely tone-deaf. Wouldn't be surprised if she became ableist too and came up with a fake spectrum self diagnosis just to justify all the stuff she said.
We know for a fact she might xenophobic towards other white women like her. She mocked and sexually objectified Eastern Euro women in a time as rape was being used against them as a war weapon. And this was for an Instagram caption, so she couldn't use "they twisted my words" excuse, this time.
What can she possibly think of brown and black women?
I get that she is tone deaf and has eurocentric beauty ideals, but I wouldn't call that racist. If she’s just applying those standards to herself and not claiming they’re superior to anyone else’s, then it’s her choice to keep altering her appearance. Honestly, her changes seem more like a reflection of her own insecurities and self-esteem issues.
Her fixation on Colon's traits and the desire to pass those on to a child definitely comes off as featurist and, honestly, feels like a weird fetishization of European beauty standards.

i was always so put off by stephanie savage calling taylor townsend (a character i do actually like) “sex positive” in the oral history and i think i’m finally figuring out why. the first sexual relationship of taylor’s that we’re introduced to is with the dean, a relationship that never gets the criticism it deserves within the narrative. no one properly addresses it as predatory - the dean is of course called “the dirty dean” but no one actually sees taylor as a victim. sandy, for all his morality, doesn’t even think of reporting him but instead only leverages this information to get ryan back in school (which is so awful i don’t even know where to start.) i think it’s the definition of cop out to pat themselves on the back for making a “sex-positive character” (please be serious) with the way they treated mischa, a teenage girl who was also in a predatory relationship that no one on set addressed as such, who was punished for leaving that relationship, who failed to be protected by the adults around her. that’s not very sex positive of you stephanie savage! marissa’s depression in s3 being referred to as a “slut spiral” by her BEST FRIEND is not very sex positive either! the oc was not sex positive, behind or in front of the camera, in any way!
Whenever Ms. Savage opens her mouth I just know some bullshit is about to come out so I plan accordingly. You bringing this up reminds me of the podcast early on saying all the female characters on the show are strong except Marissa. And it's like... we're still saying shit like this in the 2020s?
But to your point, yes exactly that's a nasty way of framing a teenage girl such as Taylor as sex positive. What a disgusting arc and resolution that was. As if s1 Sandy, or even s2 Sandy, would only give a shit about a relationship between an adult and a student in their high school so long as his son is readmitted to said school. Horrendous.
And for a character they label as sex positive to be having race-based threesomes later on in the same season is just... yikes. That 100% does not erase the dean arc (!!) but like... how is this also forgotten. Like I'm gonna forget the shit about a "Korean barbecue"?
What does sex positive even mean to these people? That a character has sex without being slut shamed? They have always acted like these characters are corporeal beings and that these same mfs weren't writing them down. Christ. Marissa has meaningless sex with Luke/DJ/Volchok and that's still not what they want in order to categorize her or... whatever else they still do to denigrate her.
ETA: Also like sorry Marissa was SA'ed so she couldn't be perky and light re: sex?? except for the unicorn of an episode that was 303
The more they open their mouths the more people realize that place was a shitshow and at least I have that. For years and years that set was a mystery and we were all like "guess we'll never really know what went down, oh well" 🤷♀️
I love Mischa on CHD alluding to being the island they said she was by s2 and she's basically like "Hmm, I wonder why that was...." queen shit. She alludes to so many book things without mentioning it once, god bless.

(rant about madison beer’s interview ahead)
i just finished watching madison beer’s interview on chd. oh my god. i feel for her so much. in no way do i want to compare what she went through with my own experience because obviously it was drastically different and a whole different scale but when she was talking about her experience with twitter and the internet in general i felt so seen. when she said “the internet is not very nice to me” it just hit very close. especially when (tw suicide) she mentioned how if she were to end it, people online would joke about it the next day like i remember thinking that exact thing two years ago. and when she mentioned being sexually abused, i remember going through something like that as well. i just felt very seen and a lot less alone just listening to her talk about her life like this girl has gone through so much and she deserves so much better. madison beer is someone i’ve looked up to since i was in middle school, i think she’s such an amazing and kind person even after everything she’s been through and that’s something i admire so much. ugh i love her sm.

Hmm I probably won’t watch the interview because I really don’t like CHD, but I am waiting for tailspin from the Lili Stan’s and Lili herself if he even mentions her name. Because god forbid.
Oh dude, it's already happening....honestly, not really familiar, but I will be watching!
