Author Note: I am not OK and will never be OK about *waves hands* all that, so this is now a multichapter story.

II.

“Once again, you’re a guest in my healing ward.”

Kocho Shinobu speaks softly, as is her manner. She's seated by his bed with the afternoon sun shining gently on her features, highlighting the amethyst in her hair and eyes.

“I seem to be the only one,” Rengoku replies, looking at the empty infirmary. He’s still bedbound and can barely move his limbs. It hurts to breathe more often than not, and there’s a dull ache where his left eye used to be.

Her kind smile never falters as Kocho looks at the liquid in the syringe she’s preparing. Rengoku always admired her decision to honor her late sister this way, by holding on to that smile Kanae loved so much. After all, everyone has a keepsake of their loved ones in their heart, driving them forward. Memories, moments, words that hone one’s spirit and meld with determination, acting as a guiding light in the darkest places. He knows this all too well. 

“At least you won’t be lonely during your convalescence, those three have been coming here every day, even before you’d awoken.” She giggles, seeking a vein in his arm. 

Oh, of course… young Kamado… the boar lad, the yellow-haired boy. All of them gifted, resilient, and unwavering. He’d promised to train them, but…

That was… before. 

Another image appears before his mind’s eye, drenched in fog—you, running towards him. He, ordering you not to interfere. “Kocho. Tell me, please. How long before I can leave this bed? What is lost, what can I regain?” 

She sets the used syringe aside on a tray, then places her hands on her knees. “My, my, impatient already?” 

Rengoku tries a smile of his own, though it hurts the muscles in his face. If not for the strong sedatives and painkillers administered to him since he regained consciousness, he imagines he’d be squirming in pain. “I want to self-assess myself. Besides…I have promises to keep.” 

She understands. He knows she does. The Insect Hashira gazes out the window, and a small sigh leaves her chest. “Your fatal injuries have been healed by the peculiar blood demon art of young Kamado’s sister.”

He nods. Remarkable. He thought that would be his last battle, and he’d have passed without regret into the land of Yomi. Nevertheless, his gratitude is boundless.

“... your muscle and organ tissue has regenerated and there was no internal bleeding. However, there is still some damage to several vertebrae in your spine, severe trauma to your head I’ve not fully assessed yet, and you have eight fractured ribs.”

“Hah, I can feel them, too! I miscalculated by one, I thought there were seven.”

She looks his way, with that odd expression people sometimes have when he sounds unreasonably high-spirited. He supposes not everyone shares the same outlook, and that’s all well. But what use is there to bow down in dismay and accept the worst life throws my way? 

“Your left eye was smashed, and irrecoverable,” Kocho goes on. “We removed it with surgery and placed an implant inside to fill the empty eye socket. The recovery period in these cases is typically a year, as now you must adapt to your monocular status. But this also depends on the individual, and… this might mean alterations to your fighting style, of course.” She rises and picks up the tray. “I’m convinced that with time, you can return to a state allowing you to perform your duties. For now, please rest, that is a foremost priority.”

My friend, you know all too well that time is never on a demon slayer’s side. “Thank you, Kocho.”  She is right, though: he does feel exhausted, as though he’d climbed a mountain without rest or ever reaching the summit. Expected, though bothersome.

“We’ll do our best to help your recovery. Aoi will return later to change your bandages,” Kocho adds.

Rengoku turns his head as Kocho greets someone on her way out, and sees you, standing in the doorway. “Hello.”

“Hello.”

“You heard?”

You nod, nearing the bed. “Ms. Kocho told me of it all while you were asleep.”

“I’m sorry.”

You tilt your head in bemusement. “What ever for?”

“Because, I won’t be able to help with your training for a while.”

You’ve been at his side often. While in a coma, even if he couldn’t react, even if his body wouldn’t listen, he knew you were there. The thought is a warm one, a foreign sensation: different from the heat bursting in his body during a fight. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t look forward to your visits even now, to see how you’re faring, to hear the latest news on the Corps.

“No,” your voice brings him out of his thoughts, “but that does mean I can help you. When you’re ready, that is,” you add quickly. “With rehabilitation training.” 

“Of course!” The fatigue in his body is stubborn, clinging to him like heavy wet wool. “And… I don’t believe I’ve told you this yet: I’m happy you returned safely.”

You look away, appearing utterly miserable. It confuses him. Rengoku’s seen that shadow in his father’s eyes countless times, so often he can’t stand it: self-loathing.

“Forgive me, Master. I should have been able to do more, after all you strived to teach me. I… I could barely be of any use.”

But you were there, you helped protect all those people. You did your part. “You were unflinching, fast, and aided those who needed it precisely like I taught you. You are rank Kinoe, and what's your demon kill count?”

“Thirty-two.”

“There… now that I think about it, even without further guidance from me or anyone else, you’ll make Hashira soon! Our numbers are dwindling while demon activity increases. You’ve seen it. This is a struggle that needs all of us.” Rengoku pauses. The word ‘need’ felt odd coming from his mouth. But the statement is true. Why does it feel incomplete when he says it to your face?

You look down at your hands. “How can you do it?”

He blinks, frowning. “Do what?”

“Be so supportive and encouraging even when you’re lying broken in an infirmary bed. Sometimes… sometimes you are so very strange, Master.”

You do say that to him often, though less so than before. A smile trembles on your lips—it took you a long time to smile again, he recalls. 

“I merely speak the truth…” He can barely stay awake. The slow drip of liquid in the IV infusion is magnified, drowning out all other sounds, and your face becomes hazy as he drifts away.

Three years prior

The path of blood leads straight into the farmhouse, looking as though someone had been dragged inside by force.

His eyes narrow, and he centers his breaths as he walks forward with his blade drawn. The silence of the glade is eerie, the reek of decay nauseating in the heat of this humid summer.

Soon, he stands on the threshold. Two, there might be two of them. Near the farmhouse is a toolshed, he’ll look there next. Rengoku covers his mouth with his sleeve, eyes closing in pain.

The bodies lie there, some with scattered limbs. This was a family, no doubt about it. The brutality of the mutilation makes his stomach turn, but Rengoku steels his resolve, extending his senses for any hint of the entity’s presence: there is none. He sheathes his katana and enters the space proper. Three hours until dawn.

He descends to one knee, finding the fireplace in the middle is out, but the ashes are still warm. The tatami mats are sticky and stained dark. This all transpired recently. He reaches out a hand, touches an inert arm: not yet cold. Too late, I am too late. But I’ll find you, wherever you are, you damn beasts. 

It’s only due to his reflexes, honed with endless hours of training, that he turns around fast enough, leaping backward before the descending attack.

At first, he thinks it’s the demon, his katana at the ready.

“Don’t you dare touch them!” 

He pauses, nearly too late in avoiding the second strike. A girl’s voice, a human’s heartbeat. His arm shoots out, catching the wooden staff in a strong grip. 

You’re panting, eyes wild and glimmering in the moonlit night. “Let—go!”

“Wait, I’m not an enemy!” he says, taking a better look at you, still holding your makeshift weapon even as you try to wrest it from his hand. 

“How do I know that! Demon!” Your voice is hoarse. Half your face is caked in drying blood, and there must be multiple injuries on your body judging by the torn clothing and the widening dark stains. 

“I’m not a demon,” he speaks calmly but urgently. “I hunt them. Please, they may still be close.”

You jerk your chin towards a corner of the room. “I had him… I don’t need you. Get out of my home!” you yell, more desperate with each word. “Get out, get out, get out!”

Another body lies there in the dark, slitted pupils dark against its milky eyes. The head had been nearly completely crushed. Rengoku freezes in disbelief. You did this? Alone? “Wait, you don’t understand, there’s another—”

A loud crash severs his words as the ceiling collapses, and he barely has time to leap forward, catch you in his arms, and throw himself outside. He rolls onto the ground, pain erupting in his left shoulder with the impact. When he opens his eyes you’re there, safely held against him, face tearstained and body rigid with shock.

But there’s no time to explain further—he feels it. The gurgle of inhuman hunger as a figure emerges from the wreckage of the farmhouse, eyes fixed on them. It does not speak, but growls in hunger; it must be of the feral kind, no reasoning left as the transformation rotted its memories. 

Rengoku rises, changing his stance. “Stand back,” he urges, looking over his shoulder at you as you struggle with your own body. He looks back ahead, grinds his teeth, his breathing attuned to his thought. 

First Form: Unknowing Fire.

It doesn’t last long. He’s been running from mission to mission, dispensing with different kinds of fiends, and this was yet another run in a long chain that will only end with his own life. 

Once the head is removed, the battle is over. Sometimes there is someone left to check on after the fact; often, there isn’t. But now, Rengoku hurries towards you, descending and slipping a hand under your back, aiding you to sit. “Where are you hurt?”

“Thank you,” you say instead, eyes glazing over. He hopes the Kakushi will get here soon. You point towards your ruined home. “Set it ablaze… please.” 

“Hey, hey, stay awake!” Rengoku urges even as your body turns heavier and your eyes roll back. 

He expected this to come. Kneeling and with his forehead pressed to the ground he sits still, prostrated before the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. 

A voice like the lull of spring reaches him, setting his worries aside. In his heart, he thinks he’s done what is right.

“Rank Kinoe Rengoku Kyojuro, you are summoned to explain why you have brought a non-combatant to headquarters, instead of having the Kakushi transport them to a civilian hospital.”

“Master, the girl shows extraordinary potential. Her family has been murdered by demons, and yet she managed to fell one before I arrived, alone, despite grievous wounds and bloodloss. Forgive me if I overstepped, but I believe…” 

“Go on.”

“I believe once her body heals and her focus returns, she will join the fight. I believe she will want to. If I'm wrong, I accept all consequences.”

“You sound fairly convinced of this, young Rengoku,” says Ubuyashiki Kagaya. “Though there is no reason to know for certain one way or the other.”

He stays quiet, his heart raging in his chest. It will all depend on you, of course. You may want to have nothing to do with this. 

“But… you’ve not failed us thus far. I will allow it.”

“Gratitude, Master.” And then, almost in the same breath, “If she chooses this, I will guide her myself.”

🔬Some of the weirdest pieces of Gallifreyan biology we've not thought much about

GIL's already discussed quite a lot of odd Gallifreyan biology, but let's dive into some truly strange and unsettling aspects of their physiology—things that might make you rethink your cheerful view of Gallifreyans.

🧠 Memory RNA: The Ghosts in Their Cells

Gallifreyan metabolism is capable of interpreting human Memory RNA*, converting it into the Gallifreyan equivalent. This means that, with enough exposure, they could literally absorb and process human memories.

But here's the creepiest part: a Gallifreyan could theoretically consume a human's body tissue to absorb those memories, devouring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Human lives wouldn't just end—they'd be consumed, trapped forever in the psyche of their memory-munching Gallifreyan host.

*Memory RNA is a controversial concept in real-world biology, but a common sci-fi trope

👁️ Eye Removal: Eternal Blindness

Gallifreyans can easily regenerate damaged organs like eyes, right? Wrong. Physical removal of their eyes is one of the most traumatic injuries a Gallifreyan can suffer, and recovering from this is very difficult. If their eyes are removed and destroyed, they likely won't grow back—not even through regeneration.

In fact, if a Gallifreyan regenerates without eyes, they can stay blind in their new form, relying solely on their psychic and somatosensory abilities to function. Without sight, they're cut off from much of Gallifreyan technology. If you really want to hurt a Time Lord, total eye removal is one of the most sadistic ways to do it.

🧠 Conditioning the Unconditionable: The Lateral Interpositus Nucleus

You'd think Time Lords, with their advanced brains, would be immune to psychological conditioning. Think again. They possess a Lateral Interpositus Nucleus, the same brain structure responsible for classical conditioning like in Pavlov's dog experiment.

The twist here is that in Gallifreyans, this nucleus is highly associated with memory implantation. So, a Gallifreyan could be conditioned quite easily—and not just mildly, but to a puppet-like state—through forced memory implants, which they'll have no idea about.

🧟‍♂️ Regenerating Into Monsters: The Horror of Chain Regenerations

Regeneration might seem like a gift, but it can also be very disturbing. You'll already know that regenerations are pretty unpredictable, but this can get much worse.

If a Gallifreyan regenerates in an alien environment, their body will try to adapt—there are horror stories on Gallifrey of Time Lords trapped in chain regenerations, becoming monstrous, unrecognisable creatures with each new form.

Probably the most horrific permanent death for a Gallifreyan is dying in deep space. Once regeneration is triggered, the body burns through all remaining regenerations in a futile attempt to survive—becoming an increasingly mutated, twisted version of themselves—until they, thankfully, permanently die.

Spooder Idia and spider limb regeneration.

Cdysis: When a spider molts, which happens every few months, it sheds its old exoskeleton and gets ready to rock a fresh one. During this molt, the spider also regenerates any lost limbs. It’s like a two-for-one deal, a new exoskeleton and a new leg.

The Blastema: At the site of the missing leg, a structure called a blastema forms. Undifferentiated cells with the power to transform into specialized tissues. These tissues include muscles, joints, and cuticle, the spider’s outer shell. The blastema orchestrates this transformation, guided by complex genetic and biochemical signals. Scientists are still deciphering these signals, so it’s like a cryptic spider morse code.

Slow and steady Growth: Spider limb regeneration isn’t an overnight sensation. It takes time—weeks to months, depending on the spider’s size and the number of legs it needs to regrow. It can take a couple of molts to fully grow a limb that matches the original. The catch? The new leg isn’t always as buff as the original. It might be a bit shorter or weaker.

Species Matters: Not all spiders are equal in the leg-regeneration. Orb-weaving spiders, wolf spiders, and jumping spiders are ones that can regrow legs. But even among them, efficiency varies. Some spiders regenerate like they’re on a mission, while others take it slow and steady.

Spiderlings vs. Adults: Spiderlings regenerate legs more efficiently than their adult counterparts. Adult spiders, on the other hand, take longer.

Now for Drider's, and more specifically, Idia.

I think it makes sense for Drider's to function similarly to their tiny counterparts when it comes to regrowing limbs, though I don't think it would be limited to simply their legs, and they can also regrow their arms and fingers.

The spider nervous system is different than the human one so while I'm sure Idia would feel pain with losing a leg, I'm not sure if it would be to the same extent as a human losing theirs...and likely would be less...messy.

To be honest, he probably has some prosthetics made for him in case of that happening.

For the 🌑Hidden In The Dark💉 AU, I have something morbid to put forth.

Imagine after one brutal experiment session, reader is just thrown into their containment cell and just moves to the corner, covering their face and something in their hand. When one of the adults goes to investigate, the find… reader’s eyeball in their hand and an empty socket, they’re regenerating, but it’s wrong. The muscles are forming but there’s nothing to form around and the tips are just hanging to of the socket. And there’s reader, trying desperately to put their eye back in, cause the doctor said if it doesn’t grow back, they’ll start plying teeth.

Well, thanks for reading my rant!

Could I be 🌂?

Oh f*ck, that's dark. But that would work well in this au- (And sure, welcome to the club, 🌂 Anon)

Okay, for a regenerative/healing factor, I'm assuming Reader has that ability or is related to Logan or Sabretooth in some way. So if we go that route with this, then let's say-

It's going to get brutal very fast.

Reader's trying to hold it all in, trying not to cry, but the pain they're in is intense, unlike what they've ever felt before, and they've lost their own eye. It burns, it freezes, it hurts so, so much. And all they can do is drag themself to a corner of the room and curl up, trying desperately to get their healing factor to kick in... And it eventually does, but... they aren't growing an eye back. Their flesh is mending, trying to stitch itself back together and to cradle their eye, but their eye... it's still in their hand, and it's hard to look at, near impossible to hold, but hold it they do...

Whoever is in the cell with them (one of the adults), is trying to get a closer look at Reader, desperately trying to calm them down and see the damage- And when they do, it makes them feel sick. And they can't do fix it. Reader's face is damaged, but slowly healing itself, but the socket where their eye should be- it's a bloody, dark hole, oozing blood and gore onto their kid- And oh heavens, their kid-!

They're gentle as they can manage, trying to hug Reader and curl around them, trying to put themswlf between them and the door and anyone who might enter. They hear Reader's stifled wails, their sobs that are full of panic and pain and fear, and their heart breaks over it. And then they're being told by their kid if their eye doesn't grow back, if they end up "broken", their teeth will be pulled next... And if their teeth don't grow back, it'll be their bones that are broken... And if that doesn't heal... Reader won't be around anymore...

They go still. They still clutch their kid, who's only crying harder, hardly breathing through their tears, and they ask, as carefully as they can, if Reader can put their eye back in. That makes their kid quiet, if only a little. And then they're guiding their hand back up, holding their eye up, and push it back into place. Their kid screams for a minute, but they soon go quiet, slumping against them, unconscious... When the adult checks their eye, flicking open the lid and checking the tissues, they find its reattached itself, and breathe a sigh of relief...

They know it hurt... They're so, so sorry it hurt... But they couldn't lose their kid. And they won't. And if that means they kill whoever comes through that door next... then they'll do it in a heartbeat. No one, and they mean NO ONE, mutilated their kid/cub/pup, and gets away with it... And their instincts scream at them, to stay around them, to lick or wipe away the blood that stains them, and to try to keep them as comfortable as possible. Their kid may fight it for a minute, but they'll understand. They have to... They just can't lose them...

Everything You Need to Know About Crystals: Peridot

Peridot (The Tears of Pele)

*Yes Peridot from Steven Universe is here. She demanded to be added okay!?

Color:  Olive Green to Yellow-Green

Rarity: Easy to Obtain, Harder to higher quality

Hardiness:  6.5 – 7

How It is Created: Peridot is the gemstone variety of olivine, a mineral made up of magnesium, iron and silicate compound. The higher proportions of magnesium and iron are used to identifying the key features in the gem, while the chromium and nickel impurities contribute to its beautiful green color. Some specimens of peridot can even appear in meteorites called pallisites and found during volcanic activity on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

History: The Egyptians mined peridot on the island of Zebirget, which is located in the Red Sea. Egyptians used the gem for over 4,000 years and was even said to be Cleopatra’s favorite. It is regarded as a sacred stone during Medieval times and was even used in the design of the Shrine of the Three Kings in Germany. Peridot crystals found in the black volcanic sands of Hawaii are said to be the tears of the Goddess, Pele. Now most of the world’s peridot comes from Arizona or Pakistan.

What It Can Do:

Keep away evil spirits and great for protecting aura

Releases and neutralizes toxins on all levels

Purifies the subtle and physical body and mind

Opens, cleanses, and activates the heart and solar plexus chakra to release “old baggage”

Clears the feelings of burden, guilt, and obsession

Guides you to better influences

Alleviates jealousy, resentment, spite, anger and stress.

Enhances confidence and assertion without aggression

Sharpens the minds and opens it to new levels of awareness

Banishes lethargy, bringing to your attention all things you have neglected

Is said to heal and regenerate tissues and strengthen the metabolism

How to Get the Best Out Of: Peridot works best near the throat area and heart area of your body so a peridot pendant or necklace would be best.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Cleanse using smoke or running it over water. Charge it by placing it under a windowsill during a full moon.

Talisman:

Social Media Talisman

Peridot ring, worn on the hand you scroll with

Chalice

Moon water

1 small piece fresh or dried valerian root

1 fresh lemon slice

Cleanse and empower your ring with the ability to dispel feelings of envy and inadequacy.

Gather your materials in a sunny area during a waning moon.

Fill the chalice with moon water.

Take the valerian root in your hand and hold it in the direct sunlight.

Say, “Valerian root that calm sting, add self-assurance to my ring.” Visualize it absorbing the sun and pulsing with a gentle, light. Place it in the chalice.

Hold the lemon slice up to the sun, feeling the illumination and bright energy coming from it.

Say, “Bright yellow lemon with a bite, filter that which befalls my sight.”

Squeeze the lemon slice so the juice goes into the chalice.

Now the chalice holds a soothing brew imbued with calm from the valerian, confidence from sunlight, and optimistic realism from the lemon.

Put the peridot ring in the chalice and let it sit in the sun for about an hour.

Retrieve your peridot ring from the chalice and wear it. Pour the water into the earth.

The ring help ground you in reality while filtering your impressions of what you consume on social me protecting your self-confidence and dispelling any feelings of jealousy or inadequacy.

Perform this spell in direct sunlight, if possible, to illuminate the truth and soothe uncertainty. If you don’t have a chalice, use a bowl, or any kind of cup. Moon water is water that has been left outdoors under the full moon to absorb its power.

I've been wanting to talk quite a bit about my AU's world building for a while, so I'll probably be making a couple of post where I talk about those ideas for the coming time.

Soo... yeah. I wanna start out with a little idea that's been stuck in my head for a (long) while now about berries and seeds. I've had this idea of certain seeds coming from certain berries. Like blast seeds coming from Tomato berries for example. (That and i just find it fun to come up with an in-universe explanation for how berries work) -^

This will be the first part of my berry field guide, containing medicinal berries. Also enjoy a little prologue I came up with ^

Feel free to use this as inspiration or to use it in any projects of your own! I'd love to see people use my work!

Drug Warning: while this post does not directly contain drug usage, it might sometimes imply or hint towards it. There are also a lot of mentions about medicinal applications of berries and seeds, so the line between them might be blurry. If you are easily put of by it, then I do not recommend this.

Amp crawled up the stairs, into the musky, dimly lit room. A study room by the looks of it.

He walked up to the blinds and opened them to let the sunlight flow in through the tall windows.

He searched throughout the room.

A desk, a big central table, a bookshelf contain various books, even a big map on the wall, yet no signs of a sleeping quarters.

It must probably be the floor above.

Though, he couldn't shake off a sense of curiosity. "They wouldn't mind if looked a bit around this room, right?". "To familiarize myself" he told himself.

He walked up to the map, the landmasses seemed familiar, yet different in a way. There was a name on it: Tide Buizel Shoredelver.

"Is that how they name themselves, with the species as the middle name?"

He pushed away the thought when the bookshelf caught his attention once more.

He carefully climbed up the bookshelf to inspect the books.

It contained sever books ranging from newly pressed to well worn. One named "Time Travel & Multiverse Theory" looked to have a thick layer of dust on it.

One peeked his interest however: "Berry Field Guide, Recognition & applications for common berries".

He grabbed it with a string shot and lowered it onto the ground, where he proceeded to open it.

The Berry Field Guide

Part One: Medicinal berries

The Oran berry:

Appearance: The color ranges from light to dark blue, with small dimples speckled across it. The darkness usually depicts the ripeness It is rather round in shape.

Texture and flavor: Its soft and fluffy in texture, the riper it is, the softer it is. It has a balanced flavor, though riper berries tend more towards the sweeter side. It's seeds are mostly flavorless.

Applications: The berry itself has some medicinal properties. It boosts cellular growth, which accelerates tissue growth and regeneration, whilst also serving as a mild analgesic, numbing the pain of any received injuries. While ingestion does work, the best way to extract its medicinal effects is to turn it into a balm and apply it directly onto the wound.

While most of it's seeds are plain, there is a rare chance one might contain a especially nutritious seed. This variation has similar medicinal effects as the Oran berry, though due to it's higher nutrient density, it is far more potent than the berry.

Besides it's usual analgesic effects, it also invokes sense of euphoria and/or mellowness, thus giving it the nickname "joy seed". For these reasons, it is highly sought after by doctors and healers alike.

Because of the balanced taste and medicinal properties the Oran berry has, it has become a popular snack or cooking ingredient for many Pokemon.

Side effects and harmful properties: The berries themself have not shown to cause any harmful side effects, even in excessive amounts. However, there is a rare chance for an Oran berry to contain a harmful mutation. This mutation can cause painful blisters to appear on the skin and around wounds. It is speculated that it is caused by incomplete cell replication. However, due to the mutation's rare nature, there have not been many studies on this topic yet.

Due to the euphoric response that Joy seeds cause, frequent use of them can lead to addiction. For these reasons it is often outlawed to further extract or distill Joy seed outside of medicinal applications in most areas.

The special seeds from a mutated Oran berry are also affected by the mutation. While there have only been a few recorded instances of a pokemon ingesting a mutated Joy seed, all patients had developed a severe rash and inflammation around the wounds. Reasons for these symptoms are still unknown.

The Pecha berry:

Appearance: It is a deep pink fading more towards light pink near the bottom, with white patches dotted across it. The deeper the pink is, the riper the berry. It is shaped like a hart.

Texture and flavor: It has a rather hard, but smooth texture, though it softens near the end of ripening. It has a sweet taste, however it's seed taste awfully bitter. It's leaves create a sweet fragrance when damaged.

Applications: The Pecha berry is already a very potent anti-toxin by itself, being able to cure most poisons by ingestion. It's potency can be further improved by extracting the berry in hot water and distilling the extraction further. This extraction can then be processed in supplements or taken directly.

The seed, most commonly known as a "heal seed", contains many kinds of vitamins and immune boosters, which helps against most afflictions. Due to it's broad healing capabilities, it is used as a base in most medicine.

Pecha leaves are often extracted together with the berry, creating a soothing Pecha tea. Pecha tea is well liked beverage by most Pokemon due to it's sweet flavor and it's mild healing properties. It's often given to those who are sick, as an simple remedy.

Side effects and harmful properties: There have not been any recorded harmful side effects on the use of Pecha berries and heal seeds, however excessive use might lead to a natural tolerance towards them. Continuous use for extended periods is therefore disincentivized.

The Sitrus Berry:

Appearance: Bright yellow in color and is covered in small dimples. The yellow color deepens when ripe. The berry has a round base with a conical extrusion at the bottom.

Texture and flavor: it has a rather balanced taste, though it leans more towards the sour side. It's inner texture resembles that of an Oran berry. It's seeds taste slightly dry. The seeds taste rather plain.

Applications: It is believed that the sitrus berry was originally a mutation of the Oran berry that has been selectively bred to increase it's regenerative properties, as it inhabits every similar properties as Oran berries. It possesses the same regenerative effects, though they are far stronger and leave long lasting health benefits, as do the seeds.

It is still not fully understood exactly what in the seed causes these benefits. However, it has been proven that they help slowdown the rate at which cells degrade upon replication, in turn increasing one's longevity. This has earned it the name "Life seed". These seeds can often be found as the main ingredient for vitamins that increase ones longevity.

Much like the Oran berry, there is a rare chance that a Sitrus berry can contain an extra potent seed. These seeds contain exorbitant amounts of nutrients. It is seen as a wonder medicine by most, having enough nutrients to instantly get any pokemon back on their feet. It's intense smell alone is enough to wake most unconscious pokemon. For these reasons this variation has been called the "Reviver seed". However, due to it's scarcity, it is usually reserved for life or death scenarios where traditional medicine would not be effective. Due to it's instantaneous effect, it is a popular item under explorers and bounty hunters alike.

Side effects and harmful properties: Sitrus berries have a similar mutation to Oran berries, showing the same symptoms as its Oran counterpart.

However, the mutation effects the seeds somewhat differently. The regular seeds seem to lose their regenerative properties, but have no immediate side effects. Long lasting side effects are still unknown.

There has been one recorded case of someone ingesting a mutated reviver seed. Surprisingly, it seemed that the mutation has increased the seed's potency even further, as the patient immediately woke up upon ingestion. Unfortunately, the amount of nutrients in the seed had reached toxic levels, knocking out the patient shortly after he woke up. The patient reportedly felt very hysterical.

The Cheri Berry

Appearance: It's color ranges from orange to red, the redness depicting it's ripeness. It is round and rather small in size.

Texture and flavor: While the pulp of the Cheri berry is rather tough, it becomes softer when it is cooked. The berry has a very savory taste, while the seed taste rather dry. Its seeds are a mix of savory and sweet.

Applications: Cheri berries contain proteins that help with restoring damaged muscles and can cure many cases of paralysis. They are often processed into creams to help against muscle aches and cramps.

The seeds are packed with many kinds of proteins that help with blood flow, muscle growth and increases metabolism. They are often used by move-tutors and dojo trainers to aid their trainees with work outs and learning moves. It is often refereed to as a "Trainer" seed for these reasons.

Cheri berries have become a popular meat replacement due to their savoury flavor and high protein value. For these reasons it can be found in all kinds of recipes. Cheri berries can also be dried without losing most of their beneficial effects. This makes it easy to store for long periods of time without spoiling, ideal for long distance travels. It is usually stored in the form of vitamins or whole dried, though these are usually very tough in texture.

Side effects and harmful properties: Cheri berries can inhabit a rather common, but harmful mutation. The mutation only effects the seeds. Seeds with this mutation causes muscles to seize up, which can lead to cramps and temporary paralysis. However, this can easily be cured by consuming the Cheri berry itself.

The Rawst Berry

Appearance: It ranges from light blue to cyan. It is covered in small dimples, which contain the seeds. The berry is thinker near its calyx and tapers off near the bottom.

Texture and flavor: The inside is rather soft and fluffy. It has a refreshing taste. The leaves of the calyx taste minty, as do its seeds.

Applications: The Rawst berry significantly cools the body down upon ingestion. It does this by releasing certain chemicals that promote body heat dissipation. It is often used to help against hyperthermia or inflections caused by intense heat.

The seeds release dopamine upon ingestion, helping the user stay focused and alert, even in the face of danger. For these reasons that they commonly refereed to as "Focus" seeds. However, the seeds on a single Rawst berry are not enough to cause any noticeable effect. Therefor, the seeds from multiple berries are usually packed together.

Exposing the seeds to the open air causes them to slowly undergo an endothermic reaction. For this reason, ground up Rawst seeds are often mixed with the calyx and ground into a cooling balm to help cool any burns one might have sustained.

Due to their minty flavor and cooling properties of the Rawst berry, seeds and calyx, it is often used in deserts and cold drinks. Grounded Rawst seeds can also be used to create vitamins that help increase focus and mental fortitude.

Side effects and harmful properties: Due to the endothermic reaction caused by the seeds, it is not advised to ingest multiple Rawst seeds portions in quick succession. This may lead to internal cooling of the stomach, which can lead to cramps and stomach aches and in sever cases, internal freezing.

The Aspear Berry

Appearance: It is colored a bright yellow and is covered in ring-like patterns similar to that of a Liepard. The color of these rings can range from turquoise to dark green. The greener the rings are, the riper the berry is. It is somewhat egg shaped.

Texture and flavor: It ranges from sweet to sour and somewhat bitter and it slightly burns in your throat upon ingestion. The sour- and bitterness increases with ripeness. The berry starts out rather hard but becomes significantly softer near the end of its ripening. Its seed is dry.

Applications: Unlike most berries, Aspear berries start fermenting as soon as they start growing. It is still unsure why these berries do this, but it seems to be part of its ripening process. The fermentation process turns sugars supplied by the plant into acids and alcohol, thus giving it's distinct flavor.

A Aspear berry usually contains about 4 to 5% alcohol near the end of its ripening, after which it is dropped by the plant, or it begins to spoil. When the berries are detached from the plant, sugars are no longer supplied and the fermentation slowly stops.

The alcohol in the berry causes the body to expand it's blood vessels. Together with other chemicals in the berry that promote metabolism and hart rate, it results in the body flaring up for a short period of time. This can help against immediate cold and freezing, making it a good remedy for hypothermia and frostbite.

The seeds within the Aspear berry contains chemicals that triggers the user fight or flight response, which turns the users moves for more violent and stronger than they would normally be capable of. These violent outbursts have earned the seed the name of "violent" seed.

Because of the Aspear berry's natural tendency to ferment, it makes it a excellent starter for most alcohols and popular ingredient amongst brewers. The natural alcohol in the berry also makes it easy to turn it's juice into cider, as well as disinfectant if purified or distilled.

Side effects and harmful properties: Because the berry contains slight amounts of alcohol, it also comes with its side effects, such as disorientation, nausea and increased hart rate. It is disincentivized to use Aspear berries when in a persisting cold climate, as the body will undergo rapid cooling after the heatwave wears of.

When someone if under the influence of a violent seed, it is disincentivized to agitate them. They are more likely to respond irrationally and are more likely to lash out. Frequent use of violent seeds might lead to addiction.

The Hopo Berry

Appearance: Its color ranges from a pale to bright yellow. The yellowness indicates the ripeness. The berry has a layered structure, it somewhat resembles layered scales.

Texture and flavor: The hopo berry is rather bitter and dry but releases many interesting flavors when cooked. Its texture is rather hard and tough. The seed numbs the tongue and cheek when eaten, so the taste is hard to perceive.

Applications: Hopo berries are often used as sleeping aid, as it has sedative properties. On top of that, it has also been proven to have anti-inflammatory effect as well as help stabilize the immune system. It is often used to help against insomnia and is believed by some to aid with longevity.

Hopo seeds, or more commonly knows as "sleep" seeds, are far more potent sedatives than the berry it self, having enough potency to bring nearly any pokemon into a state of narcosis. They are often given to patients before undergoing surgery.

Besides their medicinal application, hopo berries are often used in the creation of alcohol as a preservative and flavoring agent. This gives it a very distinct flavor and bitterness. They can also be used while cooking to add those same flavors to a dish.

Side effects and harmful properties: Over consumption of the berry might lead to breathing problems and drowsiness. Consuming multiple Hopo seeds at once can lead to permanent health issues and can be fatal in high enough doses.

[familiar-finn]

Heat week left Finn a mess afterwards. Literally. Raiden's poison still pumped through his bloodstream which prevented the familiar from fully healing from the physical damage the beast of a tribrid wrought onto him. He'd live, of course. He'd taken worse than this without his healing factor, those marks still evident in the faded pink lines running his left cheek and eye from Gareth's claws years ago. Fortunately those weren't as visible as they used to be thanks to natural healing and various scar treatments over the years but still noticeable if one looked too long. They matched the grisly crosshatching of red marks covering his back from the same incident that didn't have the same mercy of going unnoticed.

This time he could at least care for himself while he waited for his body's natural healing to work wonders. It wasn't as accelerated at the moment with the poison weakening him but a day or two of dealing with slowly closing open wounds was nothing compared to months confined to the couch without his powers and his back freshly flayed open. Finn's mouth had pretty much healed enough at this point, his tongue back to a single piece instead of forked and his lip only bearing a cut where Raiden dug his talons into it. His throat still ached somewhat from gagging on the sharp digit but he could talk if sounding a bit hoarse. The bigger issue that the familiar showed no concern over was the deep gash in his thigh that exposed still regenerating muscle and tissue over bone and blood oozing from it. Thankfully he had plenty of blood to spare as a familiar though he was starting to feel lightheaded likely from the poison.

He limped through the suite in a tank top and gym shorts with a needle and sewing kit in his hand so he could stitch himself up in the meantime and stopped, not expecting to see someone on the living room couch. Especially someone he didn't recognize. Guess Gareth ordered someone up for heat week while he'd been out and Bradley was either fucked out or just out. Finn settled for the armchair instead, propping his wounded leg up on the coffee table. "You don't live here," he stated while plucking out a thread and wetting the end to guide it through the needle's eye. "Who the fuck are you?"

My new work-- print books, audiobooks, kindle, online school/temple and future blog will not be for any woman or female-bodied person living in active-trauma. I have been there before, I know that sometimes in life, your nervous system and other systems can't handle the challenge. Some addictions have to cleared. Some relationships have to be resolved. And to know your capacity is incredibly power. In this work of love, you must be able to hold and tend to yourself as you read and be activated and expanded in your cells and tissues as a result, I promise. In my online school/temple, I will be your openhearted guide and able to witness you deeper, but you also have to be ready to open up and meet the trapped stories living in specific parts of your body in order for your energy to start to flow again optimally. Freedom of Heart, Freedom of Regeneration, Freedom of Time, Freedom of Diagnoses, Freedom of Nervous System, Freedom of Desire, Freedom of Energy, Freedom of Biology, and Freedom of Living Adventure Real life is what we are up to but a lot of unlearning is on the menu. We have to unlearn ourselves (our cells) and unlearn the behaviors and conditioned responses taught to us by the world. We have to rebuild our foundations from the ground floor as well. While I'm a deeply loving "Lila" woman to my core (meaning -a divinely playful woman as referred to in Hinduism), I also traverse blindfolded into murky rivers--often doing things in life that feel uncomfortable which is the key to being masterful and unstoppable. The average person does not play this game to win. They stay comfortable in their little boxes, traumas, and socializations that keep them in perceptions of safety. While my work is full of undeniable love and expansion, all that juicy gooey intimacy, softness and sweetness, it also carries a charge of shameless blood splatter that runs cervically deep. You must to want to play this game properly, if not, you tend to repeat old never-ending cycles. I'm tired of seeing women in the same cycles as our Beloved foremothers year after year, lifetime after lifetime, story after story, diagnosis after diagnosis. As Audre Lorde brilliantly channeled "I'm not free while any woman is unfree even if her shackles are different than my own." For many of us, it is time for some real truthful cycle-breaking and pattern-disrupting which means that sometimes you will be triggered. The world makes us so timid and weak (of course, not written to shame illness) with all of its coddling and fears while we low-key pretend and tell lies to ourselves about how powerful we are when we actually don't believe it. "Being triggered" and meeting your patterns with delight are mature essences of one who wants to create new narratives. And what's also true is that you don't have to ready for any of it yet or ever and if so, my work, Beloved, is not for you. This melody of love work is ultimately an intimate love story about the potency of female body from the lens of a Lover-Warrior. Polarity is how the human soul masterfully creates. Never forget that, loved ones. If you remember nothing else from me, never forget that. As I will say many times throughout the series"bring love but also bring a machete." One Loveliness... --India Ame'ye, Author

Vampire Slayer: TWO

Warnings: Same as last chapter

A/N: Enjoy!

The first thing he noticed of Hellsing’s daughter was the terrifying accuracy in the way she shot a gun.

He truly had to wonder what training his old nemesis put the little thing through. Eight years old and already able to kill various vampires? Sheesh.

The second thing was that she completely hated his kind. Seriously, he would have been intimidated getting such a glare of hatred from her if she were as big as her father. Alucard really had doubted that this small child was the last Hellsing. Compared to her father’s 6’6 muscular build, this little girl looked frail and weak.

But he knew she was anything but weak. The corpses of the Level E vampires proved that.

It seemed the little thing got too full of herself when she decided that she could take him on.

She had tried to launch herself on him, cursing and yelling at him. Her fear is gone and overrun by her rage. Her hunger for vengeance had blinded her to the point she kept attacking blindly at him even though she was mostly punching the air.

“I’LL KILL YOU!” She screeched from the top of her lungs, her cute little face scrunched up in anger similar to that of her father.

Instead of making him feel excited for a fight, it only made him coo out of adoration. It was like seeing Hellsing squished into a little human.

His carefree behavior pissed her off more.

Resorting to her last line of defense, she rips out a small knife from one of her many pockets.

Alucard raises an eyebrow, “you’ve already used that tactic, little chick. Don’t you have anything else up your sleeve-”

His mocking drawl is cut short when she doesn’t use it on him, instead she cuts her own hand.

With the grace of a feline, she reaches back to the arm holding her. Pulling back his sleeve, she rubs her bloody hand on his exposed skin. Unlike the color red, her blood was a pitch black.

Immediately he knew what she had done.

Dropping her, he makes a fast motion to take off his coat. He ignores the blinding pain he starts to feel from his arm, taking out one of his pistols.

He witnesses before his eyes his arm rotting, from his wrist where she had touched, to the rest of his arm. Before it can spread to the rest of his body, he makes the split decision to shoot off part of his arm.

The limp falls off from his body with a quick barrage of bullets. When his arm flops onto the floor, he notices as the rotting melts the skin off exposing the tissue. The little girl huffs at her failed assasination attempt. His red eyes glinted with approval at the little girl.

“A smart tactic that was,” he gives out praise as his arm grows back in place. If he were anything but a pureblooded vampire, he may as well be dead. Either through the venom in her blood or from destroying one of his limbs. Thank goodness for his fast healing and ability to regenerate lost limbs.

“But unfortunately for you, your father also used the same one. Though it was mostly my fault when I was ripping his heart from his chest. It was quite the shame! I couldn’t even eat it because it was poisonous!” He pouts, putting his hands on his hips. At the mention of her father and the way he had brutally murdered him, her lip trembled. For a moment, Allucard could see the grief pass her big eyes. It’s only there for a second, before she forces it down, her eyes hardening.

Realizing that she had no chance of defeating him, she makes an attempt to flee. She bolts towards the edge of the roof, jumping off.

Except that she landed in his arms, when he teleported underneath her. She squirms as he twirls her around, laughing at her misery.

“Come now, even though you look tasty, I won’t eat you! Just wanted to give you an offer!” He exclaims, putting her down on the snow floor. He doesn’t let her go, his big arms surrounding her before she could even try to escape again.

He begins to sway her softly as he maneuvers them around the dead corpses of vampires. He continues to guide her away from the corpses when he finally gets far enough that he could kneel down.

“Now you must be aware that if I wanted you dead, you would already be so, yes?” He asks. She nods her head, which makes him grin.

“But then I thought to myself, how funny would it be if I took you as my own? Think about the irony! A vampire taking in a human child? Now that’s something you don’t hear everyday!” Alucard laughs to himself, “you are also the last Hellsing on this earth, it would be a shame to not let you grow to your full potential!”

He starts to reminisce, a look of longing passing his dead red eyes. “I already miss your father and the rivalry we shared for twenty years. I fight with you Hellsings at least every century, it’s something I look forward to in my long lonely life.” He sighs wistfully, “maybe if I finish your training, maybe you’ll grow up to be a better opponent..hmm I wonder.”

Snapping his fingers, he puts on his most convincing smile. Which wasn’t even convincing to begin with, he could tell through her grimace.

“You have two options, little one.” He starts off, “you can either come with me as my apprentice or you can come with me as a corpse, which will it be?”

She responds unhesitatingly, “a corpse.”

He lets out a shocked laugh at her quick answer. “Wait now hold on a second, you’re supposed to be begging for your life!” He wags a finger to her face in which she snaps her teeth at him, “yeesh! You're a really weird kid!”

“Unfortunately for you, I was just bluffing, you don’t get to choose!” Dramatically he puts a hand to his chest, where his heart would be if he had one. “You would rather die than be with me?! You wound me my little chick!”

With that he picks up her squirming body as she screams at him to let her go. He acts none the wiser as he teleports them to the place he was currently staying in.

With that the days of your learning under the strongest vampire in the world, begin.

🏥 The TARDIS Sickbay

Have you ever wondered what happens when a Time Lord needs some medical attention on their travels? Well, look no further than the TARDIS Sickbay—an onboard medical facility fully equipped to deal with all your medical emergencies. Let's take a quick tour.

🔬 Cutting-Edge Medical Tech

The TARDIS Sickbay is packed with some of the most advanced medical equipment in the universe:

Advanced Diagnostic Terminal (ADT): This has overhead medical scanners and vast data files on advanced medical techniques. The ADT can diagnose and treat nearly any ailment a Gallifreyan might encounter. If configured by a qualified medical expert, it can also be programmed to treat other species. The ADT can also project a holographic avatar to guide you through your treatment—usually in the form of the Time Lord who set it up, but you can always request a different face from the TARDIS memory store.

Surgical Containment Web: Perfect for life-threatening injuries, this surgical device lasers away damaged tissue while organic polymers reconstruct missing flesh. It can even reattach severed limbs—though, it's not quite advanced enough to regenerate lost limbs for humans.

Cell Regeneration Vault: A coffin-like cabinet that can absorb nearly all types of radiation. It's not the most comfortable process, causing a burning sensation, and can take days to fully heal the patient. Unfortunately for the Tenth Doctor, this feature is only available on Type 66 TARDISes and later.

Other minor features:

Quarantine Bay: For isolating contagious patients.

Handheld Healing Devices: Variety of instruments to heal cuts, bruises, and other minor injuries in 30 minutes or less.

Artron Detectors: Useful for establishing artron levels, prophylactic of hypo/hyperartronosis.

Healing Environmental Controls: Helps to prevent patients from passing out.

[koscheicore]

I say throw Ten into the sea/ocean. Because, why not! I'm not 100% sure he can swim tho 😔

OKAY MY THOUGHTS ARE THOUGHTING. BEAR W ME. My memory of 10 and his arcs is a bit messy but remember this?

Yeah you do. This is gonna get a bit long so imma just add a readmore

Iirc he was at some party being all emotionally unstable since he's lost so many people and he really, really doesn't want to go, to "die." So he's putting off his regeneration yeah? If I'm misremembering then pretend I'm right (?). He's obviously had too much ginger there, and the ainley!Master is there in disguise. He's been observing this Doctor for a bit, quite entertaining how he refuses to move onto his next face, how he's so fond of himself, how he wants *more.*

So much for being able to smell the Master or whatever... he definitely doesn't recognise him. He ends up flirting with this stranger of course, long conversations about nothing and everything, mutual fascination, your regular the Doctor meets the Master and is oblivious af to who he is, and when he's too wasted, the Master takes him to his TARDIS. The Doctor is a bit too intoxicated to pilot and as he rambles nonsense he begins to realise his beloved ship is moving, and the pretty stranger is at the console. How? He really doesn't like that. He tells him to stop, but he won't listen, so he gets up and tries to grab him away from the console, to no avail as this stranger opens the TARDIS' door, and messing with the gravitational configuration pushes the Doctor out.

And he falls.

He soon finds himself sinking into a nowhere planet's ocean, a familiar laughter he can't quite place still resonates in his head, "die, Doctor, die! You must die!"

He tries to swim up, but this water makes it impossible to float. He keeps fighting, desperate, he does NOT want to die, he's not ready, he will not, not yet, he still has to do so much more, besides, he had imagined his death would be different. He feels pathetic. He deserves better than this, he thinks.

"Ah but of course, you were expecting a grand finale, weren't you, Doctor? How incredibly contemptuous."

Great. He's hallucinating. The surface is far away now, the temperature is drastically lowered as darkness engulfs him and he finds himself unable to do anything but accept surrender. Is this how death feels? Cold and lonely, and a pugnant sense of regret?

Cue a myriad of sequences I haven't had the time to think of, moments he would have liked to change, to intervene with in a rather reckless way, and how he could indeed have done "more". None of these have a satisfying ending, anyways.

Eventually, he finds himself staring at the back of a figure, this scene is different, it feels rather somber, but still, familiar, in a sense. The smell of decomposition invades his senses as he squints and makes out the shape of an almost skeletal being, dry tissue flaking off it. It's, somehow, still alive, and he remembers he has seen this disintegrating shell of a person before.

"...Master?"

The figure turns around, excruciatingly slow. It stares right back at him, if one can call that staring, but what the Doctor sees is not the decayed Master. The structure of its bones is clearly that of himself. The living corpse emits a suffering whine, weak and trembling at first, but it gets louder and louder, so loud it hurts and rings not in his eardrums but in his head. He can barely make out the word as it tries to move its lips, it's only a simple...

"Regenerate."

***

The Doctor wakes up in his TARDIS, alone. She sings her usual steady hum. His tie is on the floor, alongside the hat he was wearing, and he's been sitting on the same place he barely remembers collapsing at earlier when he arrived from the party.

It's only as he manages to stabilise his breathing that he notices an itch at the back of his neck. He scratches off about a dozen hypnotic sleep patches.

---

SOOO basically the Master was guiding him through all of that because he may have noticed he was putting off his regeneration >:3c Yeah I was supposed to do little silly headcanons not a whole almost one shot but I got inspired HDKDLD HERE YOU GO HOPE YOU ENJOYED

Again my apologies if I got stuff from 10 wrong I barely remember nuwho cuz memory issues but this was fun! Also the sleep patches are those the 12th Doctor uses with Clara in Dark Water, they're technically not supposed to work on 12, so I assume they wouldn't on 10 either, but who's to say a dozen of them wouldn't or that the Master didn't tweak them somehow, or maybe it's the ginger. Anyways 10 is a mess and I am biting him.

If you want the silly headcanons still feel free to send another ask for that I got a bit carried away here fjfkfkf.

"Comprehensive Guide to ACL Surgery: Causes, Procedure, Recovery, and Benefits for Effective Knee Injury Treatment"

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is a vital procedure used to treat ACL injuries, which commonly occur in high-impact sports like football, basketball, and skiing, but can also affect non-athletes through accidents or falls. The ACL is a crucial ligament for knee stability, and when torn, it causes pain, knee instability, and difficulty in daily activities. In severe cases, surgery is necessary to restore knee function and prevent further damage. ACL reconstruction surgery involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, either from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). This graft acts as a scaffold, allowing new ligament tissue to regenerate. The procedure is usually performed arthroscopically, a minimally invasive method that uses small incisions and a camera to guide the repair.

Recovery from ACL surgery takes six to nine months, with the early phase focusing on pain management and restoring knee movement. Physical therapy is key to recovery, progressively helping patients regain strength and flexibility. While patients can return to non-strenuous activities within three months, returning to sports or high-impact activities can take up to a year.

ACL surgery offers significant benefits, particularly for individuals with severe knee instability, enabling them to resume their normal activities and sports. Without surgery, the knee remains unstable, increasing the risk of further injuries or arthritis. Overall, ACL reconstruction is an effective solution for restoring knee stability, preventing long-term complications, and helping individuals return to an active, healthy lifestyle.

[autism-purgatory]

here’s the Grayguard’s weapons and how they fight!

Emil: Rapier (A common weapon among the Alyxian nobility despite the fact that he’s from Cloria and desperately trying to hide it)

He doesn’t use magic, but is extremely, bizarrely good at fighting. He’s flexible and quick on his feat (thus why he doesn’t have much armor on his legs, he relies a lot on chain mail more than armor plates and that can bite him in the ass sometimes.). Due to him being made of wet tissue paper compared to the rest of the group, his fighting style also matches that of a pissed off cat, as in, keeping his distance and swiping the shit out of his opponent if they look at him funny.

Valkasa: Kamas attached to chains (kind of like kratos from God of War)

Kamas and scythes are common weapons among the Avios tribe due to how farming and agriculture are staple aspects of their culture.

Valkasa (for some reason) loves to face her enemies head on, using sweeping slashes and attempting to topple her enemy over either with the curve of the blades or wrapping them with chains. She sometimes even imbues them with chaos magic so when she throws a Kama, it can hit like a truck depending on how much she channels.

Lisa: Staff (magic catalyst and white cane)

as mentioned in a different post, Lisa’s staff is made of two segments, the top half is made of hollow (gray or clear) Oriche and the magic catalyst, and the bottom half works like a white cane and can even detach. If she needs her staff at the ready, one of her summons, Kobo, will help her around like a guide dog.

Lisa has never participated in physical combat, and always relies on magic. She will always keep her enemies as far as possible, and is frustratingly good at dodging. Usually she knocks someone back with a chaos bolt or use her summons to deal with the enemy. Sometimes even just tripping them over works too (which she tends to use on her fellow teammates as well, keeps them on their toes)

Ito: Katana (the common weapon of Kagra)

Ito’s weapon is branded with an oddly powerful order seal and is therefore a blessed object. Like most organic beings, humans are composed of chaos and order magic, and channel it into seals or catalysts or even healing, but never too much since it needs to regenerate. Ito channels order magic into his sword in bursts. For the most part, he’ll stay on the defensive before attacking with a flurry of slashes. Sometimes the execution is a bit sloppy and doesn’t always work if the enemy has a lot of armor.

Stumbles into the room at 10kmph

The disassembly drone absolute solver might be a final product of the research discovered after creating Ponder!

(Also maybe IC-0n, too d:)

So, you may be wondering what the hell I'm talking about.

"Ponder? What's that? Another word for think, maybe? What'sthat got to do with murder drones?"

Well, my probably-most-of-murder drones fans! Allow me to guide your attention to a small youtube account called 'scary story time with Liam' sstwl, for short. This was where it all began. Liam writing his first few stories, and reading them out into his mic for the group of people who cared.

Among these majority of unfinished works lie two series we'll be focusing on: PuppetGAME, and Design.

Although, do note, I haven't listened to Design yet, so take all of these things with a grain of salt.

Let's begin, shall we?

We start over in design. There's these things called left hands who possess young girls and puppet around their corpses. There's a facility who is weponising these left hands for their military or whatever.

Among these girls is Mari. Who claims to be God. After doing research, they discovered that the body she possessed wasn't actually human, but built from the ground up around her. Researchers took note of this and discovered that she wasn't actually creating matter from nothing, but stealing it bit by bit from other dimensions to do so. Does that last sentence sound familiar?

Now things get wibbly-wobbly, for a different version of Design. In PuppetGAME, in part 4.4 I think it was, Sarah admitted this all to Jon Mathews (he doesn't really matter here) but in her dimension, she was head researcher I think, and decided to use an AI simulation of whatever it was Mari was using to destroy entire dimensions to "create" objects out of thin air.

This, my friend, is where we meet ponder. The main villain of PuppetGAME. A part biological, part AI virus of sorts who runs a gameshow where people fight for the safety of their home dimension. And with each dimension destroyed, the longer he lives, and the "better" his show can become. He uses this matter to run his show, and multiply himself into a hivemind for his "contestants" to wear for extra weaponry and armour.

It's unknown how ponder gained access to the psychal plain, but long story short. There's this rabbit hand puppet the researchers use on little kiddos to cheer them up, and Ponder thought it'd be fun to take that form as the first thing he saw after gaining a conscience.

Now, putting all my ramblings on paper. Here's what absolute solver, ponder and ic-0n have in common:

All are simultaneously AI and biological.

All are in a hivemind (IC-0N may be an acception, but there are clues she once was)

All need to assimilate large amounts of matter to recreate things.

All need blood, or something else like that, to live a long time. (Abso solve, with oil. Ponder with souls(maybe) and IC-0n with heart tissue??)

They're all parasites in a way.

They can shapeshift and regenerate body parts on the fly. (Absolute solver can't exactly SHAPESHIFT, but close enough)

And last but not least, Liam made ALL of these characters. And he likes to recycle old ideas sometimes :p

Thanks for reading my ramblings I guess! lol

(Also, I said the disassembly drone absolute solver at the start because another idea of mine, is that there's different variations of absolute solver. Also, I don't think that's actually what it is that Uzi and Doll possess.)

Secret beauty products for glowing skin like an influencer

Ever envied the glowing skin of influencers? Here's how to get the same glow without the influencer envy 🤫

Today's product is called REJUVERO from the Bijunel Series, which uses Alaskan PDRN with collagen and vitamins to maximise the product's stability and effectiveness.

What is a PDRN?

Recommendations after the procedure

Immediately after tissue stimulating injections the treatment area may be red, tender, or swollen. There may be red raised bumps in the injection sites, these effects will usually be resolved in two days.

For significant swelling contact your doctor for advice. Swelling may be reduced by regular cold compress, anti-inflammatory medicines such as Ibuprofen (after 24 hours, if safe for you to take), antihistamines, and sleeping with your head propped up on 3 pillows to help drainage of fluid overnight.

Bruising may occur following treatment, bruising will resolve naturally but may take up to 2 weeks to settle.

Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this will reduce the risk of infection or ache.

Drink plenty of water after treatment to keep well hydrated.

Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours after treatment.

Avoid any excess sun exposure, extremes of hot/cold, saunas, swimming, or strenuous exercise until the redness and swelling has settled.
