#Mellification-Mellifera

[doomed-era]

i feel like my names for links tend to be a bit on the weirder side and i feel like rambling (bored) so um name origins in chronological order of when i made em

jo (Alternate Triforce)— he's my first FC Link so initially I called him Link. then i felt like i was too focused on making him "linkish" and had trouble developing him. he didn't feel like his own person quite yet. at the time, ALT was a LOT different from what it is currently. at the time the plot was basically "ganon is """""""smarter""""""" so instead of going after zelda immediately he tries to kill link, unfortunately he can't and it turns into wacky hijinks where ganon is basically a cartoon character chasing link around with a mallet"

so. technically he is named after jerry from a tom and jerry short where jerry gets called "little johann"

lionel (also from ALT but you haven't seen him) — so he's like. king link. so i had to give him a fancy name that still sounded like link

bessemer(used to be from ALT, now he is not)— he didn't actually have a name until recently but he is named after a type of furnace

cal — so the people i hung out with at the time were big on naming their fan characters after flowers and like victorian flower meanings or whatever so i succumbed to peer pressure. his full name is calycanthus which is also known as carolina allspice or sweetshrub. his zelda is named after baby's breath (gypsophilia)

panka — I used to call him dundee?? as in like. crocodile dundee??? then I don't remember who found panka's actual name but i'm pretty sure the baby name site said it had something to do with mud.

felix — people call him lucky and he got buried alive

theodora — I literally don't remember why her nickname is theodora. i usually call her dora. (iirc her real name IS theodora but she goes by link. opposite of panka)

victor, lila, roui, um name i can't remember —

uggg. originally i was gonna have a sequel to ALT based on four swords. but. I scrapped it. victor is called victor cause he's a weirdo who digs up bodies lila is turkish for purple roui is french for red iirc. bam

eyegore — link raised by monsters. eyegore is a type of monster. this is also his actual name

mellifer — he's a fairy! he's named after the eurasian honeybee, apis mellifera

athos — he uses a rapier a lot so i named him after a musketeer. this is technically his last name

pavel — he's slavic and it sounds nice. my friend suggested this btw

gaffen — his name originally came from "gaffe" which means a blunder (I was originally going to name him "mistake" but that was too on the nose.) then i found out there's a word in german, "gaffen" which is I think an unconjugated verb that means "to gawk/stare/rubberneck." he tends to do a lot of rude staring, he's almost always being watched, and when he does interact with people he's incredibly awkward, so it fits

chalkane — my friend suggested this name :] iirc it's based on "chalk" and "alkane" though "chicanery" was also mentioned.

Apis Mellifera (Honeybee)

I'm very excited to introduce ya'll to Tar and Mellie. Thank you very much to whymylife (on ao3) for beta reading this!

rating is teen!

Summary: Tar endeavors to make a meaningful gesture for Mellie.

Scuttlebutt gets around fast, especially on a ship so small (compared to a civilian vessel, they're still several thousand strong on this ship). Tar likes to keep track of these things, so maybe he finds out a little faster than most. Mellie is being considered for a promotion soon. Everyone else that might have been qualified for one has gotten theirs, so he and everyone else is pretty confident that she will get it. She hasn’t really said anything, even to him. He knows she knows.

Tar’s problem, he thinks, is he's not quite sure on how to celebrate. She’s been in a bit of a somber mood lately. Maybe something less like a party and more…not heartfelt, but personal? Maybe he could play off of her name, there was nothing really more personal for her than that.

They’re on a ship that regularly scavenges battlefields, and for a lot of different things. Raw recyclable material, shipments that never made it but are still usable, bodies so that scientists and engineers can fab up better armor. His inventory (read contraband stash) is vast and very squirreled away, much like everyone else.

Surreptitiously peering over the side of his bunk, out of the corner of his eye, Tar can see the sergeant already asleep by the wall closest to the door. He’ll wait a little while longer to make sure he's really asleep and not just faking it, because sometimes there's an asshole who does that.

Plotting the route, plotting the excuse- Tar lays his pad down to the side. Sits up, surveys. Decides the sergeant is deeply asleep enough to risk it. His sleep clothes aren’t necessarily ideal in any other scenario, but this way he doesn’t have to worry about the rustle of plastoid when he least wants it to.

Tar slips down the bunk and whispers out the door in a length of time long enough to be a lifetime and short enough to be a blink. Only the door whirring open and closed is audible.

No boots means he just pads down the hall. The night cycle renders the ship dim and still. A while ago they had made planet-fall and Tar marched through what he thought was called an artificial forest once. The tree trunks were all the same size and the stillness of the air unnerved more than one trooper. The ships branching hallways have a distinct lack of fog, though.

Tar’s mental map leads him to a supply closet, where hopefully there's still a spare length of wire and some tiny pliers that no one else has found.

The supply closet where he last stashed some shiny bits is right where he left it and the hall is empty, so he doesn’t even feel self conscious about tip-toeing exaggeratedly right inside.

Rooting around reveals most of his stuff is still there. An ideal outcome if he's being honest with himself. Missing loot means you can't even look for it- without revealing you’re missing something you aren’t supposed to have anyways. “Contraband” it is called. Something everyone on this ship conveniently forgets exists when they feel like it.

Now Tar has run into an unforeseen problem: he has no idea what a honeybee looks like. This is one of the most critical details to plan “Make Mellie A Good Luck Charm”. He knows bees are small insects, with six legs and wings. They are mostly yellow and black. It's not a lot to go on. Maybe round? For all that he plotted earlier, he forgot this one detail that he could’ve easily looked up. He will make do with a bit of guesswork.

The wire twists easy and pinches his fingers easier. Frowning at the final product, Tar resolves to make a second better attempt. It’s a gloriously lumpy thing that looks closer to a Gelagrub. He settles in behind a crate, placed to give him an advantageous view of the door.

Time passes quickly on the disassembly of the first attempt and the construction of the second “bee”. The wire color isn’t even right and Tar is loath to admit it because he has literally no idea what he's doing let alone what a bee looks like. They make honey (somehow and what the hell is honey even for?). Is it a stretch to make a honeybee for Mellie?

Tar fretts right through noticing the door whoosh open, so focused on making a little wire bug.

Mellie slinks up to the crate he's using as cover and crouches on it like a mischievous gargoyle. If he looked up he'd see the gleam in her eye right before she strikes. She leans in close-

“Out of your bunk soldier!?” she shouts right in his ear.

Tar startles, drops his creation and swings with his right fist. Mellie catches his fist, swinging up without momentum was never going to get Tar very far. She yanks his arm down, falling forward onto him. His breath whooshes out of him

This pins Tar with her weight and he rolls to his left further dragging her off of the crate and onto the floor, right hand between them, letting him shove her against the wall and pin her with his weight.

It works briefly, and Mellie shrieks with laughter. They're both parallel to the wall, boxed in by the crate.

She hooks her leg under his and moves to kneel, using his thigh as a lever, bracing her other leg against the wall. Tar lets it happen (his wrist is bending in strange and unnatural ways and he's sick of it), rolling on his back she over shoots on the pivot and lands on her face, palms slapping against the floor.

With his arm free, he grabs her back down by the waist to get her in a headlock. Mellie worms a hand between his arm and her throat. The buffer space is Tars downfall.

Mellie plants her feet on the crate and heaves up onto her toes, uses that buffer to fling her head back- headbutting him right on the mouth. He rears back, grunting in pain. Tar lets go and Mellie rolls off to the other side of the room. Hands on knees, they gasp for air, waiting for the other to make the next move.

This lulls them into a truce more standoff than ceasefire.

“Alone on a Friday night Tar? God you're pathetic”, Mellie pants invigorated by the playfight.

“Make like a tookagirl and climb a tree.” Tar fights the urge to tackle her and bite her right on the bicep. Instead he tries to locate the half made charm. If he plays this right he can still salvage a partial surprise. Eyes squinted, he scans the ground hoping Mellie can’t see where he's looking.

“Try hiding behind two crates next time, that’ll really cover your fat head!” she throws back at him.

“MY fat head?” The gleam catches his eye, conveniently already half hidden in a corner. Shifting his foot to cover the rest of it from Mellie would mean drawing attention to it, but also signaling the end of the truce by half a step to the right. Best to just come clean, he can always get her back later.

He drops the half crouch stance, a move that visibly throws Mellie. Picking up the lumpy charm that escaped being dented catches the light, sparking a gleam in her eye. She’ll want this one and the one he perfects.

“What's that?” she says, far too casually. Tar very seriously considers throwing it out the door and down the hall after saying “a really important screw that fell off the ship last time I space walked.”

Tar huffs, considers, decides, says, “Wire bug. Bee.” She suddenly looks very touched, like him remembering the existence of bees was a grand gesture.

“A little bee?” Maker alive, she sounds teary. He should’ve known something like this would happen. He opens his palm to her as she steps forwards to inspect. “Fuck, that’s ugly, but great job with limited intel!” He's going to lick his palm and smear it across her shoulder plate right where she can't reach.

“It would look better if you hadn’t startled me right in the middle of the second attempt.” He’ll never admit that the wire was already bumpy after the first attempt, even if it's clear to see.

Mellie looks visibly excited now. “I have pictures of bees,” she whispers.

“Okay?” It would be helpful.

“You need to see, so you can make it look more like a bee and not a deformed blurg. Be right back.” She leaves as suddenly as she seemed to show up.

Tar watches her leave just as abruptly as she announced her presence. He sits down to finish this second attempt. Right as he's reaching for the third attempt stretch of wire he hears the door cycle open. Oh great, she brought an entire ‘pad and suspiciously quickly to boot. There is an elaborate plot he's been caught in that he previously was not aware of. Tar knows it deep down in his bones, but that's something to worry about after they leave this closet.

“You will look and be struck with knowledge on the appearance of honeybees.” She brandishes the pad like a weapon. “Read it and weep.” He muses while Mellie enlightens him.

Her enthusiasm is infectious. And he really is learning the ins and outs of bee anatomy and appearances. How the fuck is this the thing she focuses on? Fascinating, they are very round, but apparently this is the bumblebee class. Some of them look less like these tiny bees and more like full fledged sentient species you would find on the outer rim, or so he's heard. Imagine that, a bee that stands on two legs.

The lump of metal wire sort of looks like a bee, but he was getting too detailed with it. Round body shape. Round head. Teardrop wings. A little loop. Five shapes. Far more do-able than trying to add six entire legs. The second strand of wire, the third attempt finds its way into his hands. Right. Mellie is genuine as she talks about how- “Honey bees have five eyes, two normal ones and three ones on top of their heads that are really small and see in UV.” Jango wept Mellie! Next she's going to talk about how they also have hairy eyeballs.

“And there is actually little hairs growing ON the eyeball and it's probably like that for navigational purposes.” Mellie continues. What do you know, there is actually hair on bee eyeballs.

This third attempt is coming along far better, the body is pleasantly round and the wings are even sizes so far, but his fingertips are starting to dent. He hands her his last piece of salvaged wire. “Want to make something too?” he asks. He's offering her a chance to make something, but also sharing more than physical space. Mellie knows this.

“Yeah, sure.” She turns it around in her hands, thinking it over. She starts twisting little beads of it in succession. It looks like it was woven together but really it's all the same wire just twisted in some parts.

Tar picks his almost finished bee back up, working on where the wings meet and the head begins, eyeing her pattern. It takes less finagling than his, but it's detailed as well. They should finish around the same time. An easy silence settles and before he knows it he's tucking in the wire ends and checking for catches. Mellie has her tongue stuck out a bit, concentrating on the last twist. He sees the shape she made, like a drip of viscous liquid falling over an edge. She adds a loop for a chain or string and looks up at him.

They silently exchange the charms sitting on the floor of some supply closet on some ship, in the middle of nowhere.

“Do you want to talk about it?” ventures Tar, after a beat.

“Not really.” She purses her lips together, making a twisted frown. “Thanks for this.”

“No problem.” Tar yawns, stretching out his legs.

“Right.” Mellie stands and offers a hand to Tar, pulling him up. “Long day tomorrow.”

He nods and follows her out the door, neither of them saying a thing when he slips his first attempt into her back pocket.

Are there any cooperations with solutions?

Dosing contemplations for Bee Venom.

What different names is Bee Venom known by?

Apis mellifera, Apis Venenum Purum, Apitoxin, Apitoxine, Bald-confronted Hornet, Bee Sting Venom, Bombus terrestis, Bumblebee Venom, Frelon à Face Blanche, Frelon Jaune, Guêpe à Taches Blanches, Honeybee Venom, Mixed Vespids, Pure Bee Venom, Veneno de Abeja, Venin d'Abeille, Venin d'Abeille Mellifère, Venin d'Abeille Pure, Venin de Bourdon, Venin de Guêpe, Vespula maculata, Wasp Venom, White-Faced Hornet, Yellow Hornet, Yellow-Jacket Venom.

What is Bee Venom?

Honey bee venom is made by honey bees. This is the toxic substance that makes honey bee stings excruciating. Honey bee venom is utilized to make prescription. Try not to mistake honey bee venom for honey bee dust, nectar, or illustrious jam. Different venoms are gotten from related individuals from the creepy crawly arrange Hymenoptera.

Honey bee venom is given as a shot for rheumatoid joint pain, nerve torment (neuralgia), different sclerosis (MS), lessening the response to honey bee stings in individuals who are unfavorably susceptible (desensitization) to them (venom immunotherapy), swollen ligaments (tendonitis), and muscle conditions, for example, fibromyositis and enthesitis.

Likely Effective for...

Lessening the seriousness of hypersensitive responses to honey bee stings. A progression of honey bee venom shots under the skin (honey bee venom immunotherapy) is by all accounts viable for decreasing responses to honey bee stings in individuals with serious sensitivity to honey bee stings. Honey bee venom immunotherapy gives 98% to 99% security from responses to honey bee stings. When immunotherapy is ceased, the danger of response throughout the following 5 to 10 years is around 5% to 15%. Cleansed honey bee venom for under-the-skin infusion is a FDA endorsed item.

Potentially Ineffective for...

Joint pain. Individuals used to imagine that honey bee venom may be a helpful treatment for joint pain. This hypothesis was to a great extent because of gathered swelling-lessening (mitigating) impacts of honey bee venom and the perception that numerous beekeepers don't create joint inflammation. Nonetheless, inquire about outcomes have not bolstered this.

Various sclerosis (MS). Regulating live honey bee stings in bit by bit expanding measurements up to 20 stings given three times week after week does not appear to enhance products sclerosis. Treatment for 24 weeks does not appear to enhance weakness, inability, or personal satisfaction.

Inadequate Evidence to Rate Effectiveness for...

Nerve torment.

Difficult, swollen ligaments (tendonitis).

Muscle swelling (irritation).

More confirmation is expected to rate the adequacy of honey bee venom for these employments.

How does Bee Venom function?

Giving rehashed and controlled infusions of honey bee venom under the skin makes the resistant framework become accustomed to honey bee venom, and decreases the seriousness of a hypersensitivity to honey bee venom.

Are there wellbeing concerns?

Honey bee venom is ok for a great many people when infused under the skin by a prepared medicinal expert. A few people may get redness and swelling where the infusion is given. Symptoms incorporate tingling, uneasiness, inconvenience breathing, chest snugness, heart palpitations, dazedness, queasiness, spewing, looseness of the bowels, lethargy, disarray, blacking out, and low pulse.

Reactions are more typical in individuals with the most noticeably awful sensitivities to honey bee stings, in individuals treated with bumble bee venom, and in ladies.

Live honey bee stings have been securely controlled under restorative supervision in measurements up to 20 honey bee stings three times week after week for up to 24 weeks.

Exceptional Precautions and Warnings:

Pregnancy and bosom bolstering: Bee venom is by all accounts safe when infused under the skin by a prepared medicinal expert at prescribed dosages. In spite of the fact that unsafe impacts at common dosages have not been accounted for, some medicinal services suppliers diminish the support measurements significantly amid pregnancy. High measurements of honey bee venom are UNSAFE amid pregnancy since they can build arrival of a substance called histamine, which can make the uterus contract. This may prompt unnatural birth cycle. Stay away from high measurements of honey bee venom on the off chance that you are pregnant.

"Auto-resistant illnesses, for example, various sclerosis (MS), lupus (foundational lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid joint pain (RA), or different conditions: Bee venom may make the safe framework turn out to be more dynamic, and this could expand the side effects of auto-safe maladies. On the off chance that you have one of these conditions, it's best to abstain from utilizing honey bee venom.

Are there any communications with medicines?

Meds that diminishing the insusceptible framework (Immunosuppressants)

Association Rating: Moderate Be careful of this blend.

Chat with your wellbeing supplier.

Honey bee venom may expand the insusceptible framework. By expanding the safe framework, honey bee venom may diminish the viability of medicines that abatement the safe framework.

A few prescriptions that abatement the insusceptible framework incorporate azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and others.

Dosing contemplations for Bee Venom.

The accompanying measurements have been contemplated in logical research:

INTRAMUSCULAR:

For diminishing the seriousness of hypersensitive responses to honey bee stings: Healthcare suppliers give honey bee venom as a shot (by infusion) to "desensitize" individuals who are susceptible to honey bee stings. Purged honey bee venom for under-the-skin infusion is a FDA endorsed item.

Dealing With Bee Stings

You will find more than 20,000 species of bees however, perhaps not each is related to honey bees keeping. Just a portion of them might be called honey-bees and there are no further than eleven species that produce honey. Among these, there are.

Honey bees keeping is really a profitable hobby however it isn't really a hobby such as stamp number or money collection. The word honey-bee comes from Latin Apis mellifera. 'Apis' means honey along with mellifer means honey to tolerate. Therefore it is honey bearing parasitic.

The honey bee stings can render people's skin bloated and painful. The area of your epidermis at the bee sting can also grow to be itchy and irritated, with it being painful to itch. Individuals need to make sure you remove the stinger, before trying to take care of it. They are able to achieve it by putting mud or wet baking-soda over the stinger yanking off it.

Tweezers may also be employed to take the stinger out when needed. There are some folks who are deathly allergic to honey bee stings, plus so they should seek medical care immediately. For others a it is a debilitating and annoyance that may be cared for with some natural home remedies.

Ice

After obtaining the stinger out of their skin, putting ice on the affected area will help with the pain. After ice to your skin for a few minutes, the area are also less itchy. Skin is going to start to eventually become. Still another way that ice may help as a home remedy for honey bee stings will be really to impede the blood circulation to the cold area, that may lessen the swelling.

Tooth-paste

A less conventional home remedy that has been understood to help will be toothpaste. It's an acidic chemical that soothes venom. Toothpastes that have glycerin inside them can also dry the venom from a bee sting. People should remember to eliminate the stinger before using the toothpaste to heal the skin.

Vinegar Paste

Vinegar paste is an option that could easily be made to help heal a bee sting once removing the stinger from the skin. To make vinegar paste; just combine equal parts of meat tenderizer, baking soda, and vinegar. In case this previous needs to be just a little milder, more soda might be added. Individuals are able to apply as a lot of this vinegar glue that is needed to cover the affected area, and also it could be left on as long. These 3 ingredients work together in this glue to decrease the effects of the venom from the skin. It can neutralize the venom and evaporate which acts as a cooling agent on skin.

Honey

After completely removing the stinger from the bee sting, honey can be put on the area. By employing a spoonful of honey in the area that is swollen and covering it with a thin layer of gauze, it is going to help alleviate a number of the pain and also help the area heal. Honey comprises hydrogen peroxide, also it has an antibacterial land to it.
