Hiii I hope youre doing alright. <3 I remember you mentioning you use a certain mouth wash to help with covid protection and Im just wondering what mouth wash it was? Im not sure what ingredients to look for so I figured Id ask. Tysm for the help! I hope this isnt too annoying to respond to. 😅🙈
Hi I love asks like these bc I love sharing information and this is straightforward n easy to answer!! I hope you don't mind me answering publicly bc I think more people should know about this!!
Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) is the mouthwash ingredient that kills covid virus in the mouth and upper throat!
Ideally paired with other preventatives, it can drastically reduce risk since it reduces the amount of live virus at the point of infection. I use it right after being around people I don't live with, and during long events I have a travel bottle in my purse to refresh every couple hours. I use this mouthwash (under $4 for a big bottle): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Alcohol-Free-Multi-Action-Antiseptic-Oral-Rinse-Zesty-Mint-33-8-fl-oz/26441079
(If you end up buying it elsewhere, double check for "Cetylpyridinium chloride" in the active ingredients. Some search results are misleading.)
Nose sprays can also help mitigate covid risk: https://www.okdoomer.io/nose-sprays-offer-a-last-line-of-defense/?ref=ok-doomer-newsletter
Fun fact, even if you DO get covid, studies have shown the fewer virus particles you're exposed to when you first get infected, the less severe the infection itself is likely to be for you!!
#obvs masking is still hugely effective and the best line of defence but i do all 3 masking + nose spray + cpc mouthwash#i'm immunocompromised & it's a huge relief to have other forms of protection as my community largely stops caring abt protecting each other#anyways just search cpc mouthwash covid to find studies on how effective cpc is#covid19#asks#krystabella#also another fun fact in some studies cpc was more effective even than clorhexidine gluconate (hibiclens)!!!#in 2021 researchers were already like ''wait why aren't we putting this in soap then and other preparations to prevent spread''

it’s the way billy’s a scapegoat not only in show but for the duffers too like
people will spend all their time focusing on the actions of a fictional teenager rather than question the fact these two white men were all too eager to have a racial slur used against a literal child and have felt comfortable having racism in lucas’ story without it actually go anywhere all while putting no focus on him as a character
they use it as a thing, as a prop, rather than acknowledging it as the systemic issue it actually is - like they use it, have lucas canonically experience racism and then push his character to the back
it’s so blatant too, there’s nothing subtle about it but because everyone’s so busy focusing on big bad billy hargrove, racism doesn’t get discussed in the stranger things fandom the way it should because everyone’s too busy focusing on the actions of one single fictional character
#billy hargrove#stranger things#they get away with so much because billy’s just there#the way the word racist is thrown around too is so crazy#like i wish people would just do some research and know what they’re talking about before they post terrible harmful takes that get#thousands of notes from impressionable kids#like people have convinced themselves racism is a thing that’s like#a single person perpetuates#and that no one else would be racist in a town like hawkins in the 80’s#they believe only a villain and a bad guy could hold such beliefs#which just isn’t how it works#and has never been how it works#that’s a dangerous way of thinking about it too#and they’re SO quick to ‘i’m not racist i’ve never been racist because’#and it’s like the first step is acknowledging how racism is ingrained into every day society rather than jump to the defence because you#believe that it would make you an ‘irredeemable villain’ akin to billy#like there’s such a big conversation to be had but it CAN’T be had because many fans refuse to talk and converse and l#listen and get other peoples perspectives so unfortunately this is where we’re at

We know how Sara Lance likes her coffee, black with lots of sugar! We learn that early on in Legends Season One. You might like your coffee differently and that's fine, so is artistic liberty in matters the show didn't elaborate on but if the show gave us the answer, stick with it. And the shows gave us several people's coffee preferences. Sara drinks it black with two sugars, Oliver likes it black, Felicity drinks a none fat latte with extra sugar (that makes zero sense on a nutrition level) just to name a few. We got the info. So do your research. Use another methaphor. Sorry things like that just really annoy me. But then again, I spend hours working out the smallest detail and researching things like Max Fuller's wife's name...
She doesn't like her coffee bitter, like her relationships and dirty martini, the woman mainly drinks scotch!, like do your research if you use it as something to make a point about a character and their actions.
And Sara was not sleeping with whoever tickled her fancy during her time with the Legends. There were a few choice people she hooked up with but she wasn't sleeping her way through time as so many Avalance people would like to make it out.
And who the hell thinks Ava's sweet while Oliver is bitter? It's like the exact opposite. Oliver's the sweetest person on the planet, Ava is so fucking bitter it's not even funny anymore.
And I don't why I'm over here ranting. Blame it on all the people tagging fics as Canarow simply for mentioning the fact that Sara used to date Oliver. That's a fact, you don't need to tag it that for two sentences.
I swear I get heat for also tagging a Canarrow story Olicity because technically in the story Oliver is with Felicity as in the present but Avalance and Olicity people tag a story Canarrow just because Sara and Oliver having been together is mentioned or they break up in the first chapter and them actually being together is never shown in the story.
Make it make sense and stop tagging your toxic bullshit with my ship! There are so few Canarrow fics out there don't throw your anti-fics in there I don't want to see those toxic ships under my happy tag.
I think I'm done now.
And where are my fellow Canarrow writers at? I sort of want to go through with "there can't be a none Canarrow ship at the top of the Canarrow tag" but I'm one person, my muse is flakey and given the amount of Avalance and Olicity people that are currently falsely tagging their fics Canarrow I will not be able to do that.
Wow this post just turned into something entirely different.
Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day.
#sara lance appreciation#otp: i chose you / i'm gonna stay with you#canarrow#oliver x sara#sara x oliver#sara lance defence squad#pet peeve as a writer do your research!#sara lance likes her coffee sweet and that is important#oliver queen defence squad#he's the sweetest person on the planet#anti avalance I guess#anti olicity i guess#oliver and sara were so unbelievably sweet as a couple they gave you a sugar rush#stay the fuck out of our tag#keep your toxic ships out of our tag#canarrow fics are a rarety so don't taint them with wrongly tagged fics#yes I rant here because i would never make a writer feel bad by simply commenting because their tagging is in accurate bullshit#i'm not that person and i much rather uplift people with positive comments than tearing them down with negatives#inspire and motivate is the goal#but sometimes i gotta rant so here we are#arrow#legends of tomorrow

im trying my hand at omegaverse with the chicago yoi fic and it somehow turned into a post-extinction event featuring an american intranet, no extradition, and anachronistic technology blending where only the richest of the rich can afford smartphones and computers unless its dictated they use one through their work (remember when only one person on your whole block had a computer so you'd go to their house to ogle it and the strange creature noises of their dial up?). so thats fun
#me: uhgggggg i do NOT feel like researching 20s era technology and everything else. ...................so i wont! :D#am i being lazy by writing two fics in a row where yuuri shoots a guy? maybe so. but in my defence yuuri shooting guys is really fun ok

(image reference, by order that they're listed in the poll)
#bugs#insects#moths#polls#lepidoptera#moth polls#we speak#moth poll... 2!#if some of these look somewhat similar then in our defence these are chosen by looking at random moths and going “oh wow that looks cool”#cadarena is a monotypic genus! thats not got a lot of research done into it but still!#we may have gotten slightly carried away there while looking up transparent winged moths but uhh#the moths are set. whatever else you say about em.#we will reblog this with propaganda in a bit but for now go ham#anyways! there are image descriptions but they may be a bit rough in our defence we're used to character writing not irl moth description#use them to orient which moth you're looking at and you should be fine

I've gotten so accustomed to fiddleford content that seeing fans use the name Old Man McGucket in the wild is basically a jump scare at this point.
#in my defence it was used in reference to research era fiddleford#who was if nothing else young man mcgucket#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddleford friday

3 20 and 22 for the ask game <3
I totally forgot about this lol thx honey <3
3. Which fic are you using to introduce yourself to your new therapist?
They'd have me commited if I used You Hold My Heart In Your Hands or the Devil in ur eyes or arsonist's lullabye or any of them hdasudsahd I'm trying to find one where there aren't any torture scenes or fights/deaths and coming up empty lol
20. Uh oh! All the kids are hooked on your fics - what behaviour (s) are their parents concerned about?
Murder, violence, PATRICIDE (Barty always has to kill his father and his dreams of doing it aren't my own I SWEAR)
22. If you forgot your WIP in the oven and burned it, what would happen to the characters?
They'd think they're in hell and would start plotting a way to overthrow the devil and run things down
ask game
#SORRY I FORGOT I DID THIS#in my defence I just started my research and things are hectic#ask games#my fics#marauders#marauder fics#rosekiller fic

#in part because it shows a super abusive relationship in a positive light without questioning the relationship at All#but also#the way it shows bd sm lifestyles is fucking BAD#'oh you're feeling bad after an intense session? just ignore it. that's what a good sub would do'#fuckin hate that thing#eddie munson would beat the shit out of christian grey#for elaboration if you want it#i high key recommend the 'a lukewarm defence of 50 shades' series by folding ideas#and also#all of dominic noble's videos on the topic#also like#you aren't a bad person for reading smutty novels or smutty novels with 'toxic' dynamics or whatever#but like#there are better books for you than 50 shades#books that take the topic seriously#books that explore the topic in an interesting way#books by authors that have done their research#that don't callously ignore the fact that a lot of the content reaches into dub con territory#anyway#if we roll with the popular hc that eddie is into some kinky shit#he would fucking Hate 50 shades#but yeah#eddie munson#eddie munson hc
