“

I understand… but out of all the Einherjar why must it be him?

Redr to Brunhilde in The Masked Fool

Redr is the thirteenth of the fourteen Valkyrie sisters. She hesitantly performed the Völundr with Mitsuhide Akechi in the tenth round of Ragnarok.

Appearance

Redr takes the appearance of a girl with a youthful face with freckles and large green eyes, slightly protruding incisors and thin eyebrows and eyelashes. Her red hair is shoulder length, and her bangs are fashioned into a feathery like fringe but soon devolves into a curly mess of red hair.

Her head is adorned with a kokoshnik with a triangular pattern. She wears a stylized black and white low cut dress with a crimson bell at the base of her neck and with short separated sleeves and collar. Her navel is exposed in a diamond cut, and her skirt is exceedingly frilly. She wears black leather gloves on her hands, and on her feet she wears crimson shoes with high heels.

(Art by axilkai on Discord!)

Personality

Unlike her sisters Hlökk and Alvitr, Redr is rather quiet and shy. She can be anxious as well, which was shown with her hesitation to perform the Völundr with Mitsuhide Akechi in the tenth round of Ragnarok.

She prefers to be around her sisters, or alone if she can help it. Though when she’s around her sisters, she opens up a bit more around them and becomes talkative, and sometimes ends up rambling about her passions and interests.

Over the course of the tenth round, Redr slowly becomes more understanding toward Mitsuhide. At the end of their fight, she is seen helping the fighter out of the arena before collapsing alongside him outside of the medical ward. In the eleventh round, Redr and Mitsuhide are seen recovering inside of the medical ward while they watch the fight.

Abilities

Divine Physiology: As a demigod, it can be assumed that Redr possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary human. Her body cannot be harmed by mortal weapons, however she can still be by unarmed attacks from individuals superhuman strength and by Divine Weapons.

Semi-Immortality: As a demigod, Redr has a limitless lifespan and will not die of old age.

Common Destiny: The power of "Common Destiny" allows a person to bring out their full potential by entrusting their fate to another. Before Ragnarok, Brunhilde sought Buddha in order to learn more about this power. The Valkyries give their wielders the power to harm gods by entrusting them with their lives.

• Völundr: The ability to turn into any weapon based on her partner's preference. Redr’s Völundr has a unique property reflected in the translation of her name, which means "The Red Haired One" (赤毛の人 , Akage no hito), which allows her to create an illusion/disguise of someone to lure someone into a false sense. She can only hold up her illusions as long as the main body is not hit.

And here she is, one of my many RoR ocs. I’ve had Redr for a bit now, and now just started writing for her because I just… couldn’t write anything for a bit. So I decided to do this, and introduce her to you all!

This is of course an AU with fourteen Valkyries so that also means fourteen fighters on each side. This intro… also introduces another person, Mitsuhide Akechi! Will he get an intro like this one? Maybe, I just gotta… rework him a lot.

But I hope you all like Redr! This took a while to type out on my phone… lol.

Health: Adrenal Glands

TCM: Jing, Kidneys

GNM: Off Track (cortex), Unbearable Stress (medulla)

Greek: Sanguine (cortex), Choleric (medulla)

Chakra: Root

Astrology: Mars, Aries-Libra; ex. managing adrenal health can be especially important for natal placements like Mars in Libra/7th, Mars in Pisces/12th, South Node conjunct Mars, etc.

The adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys, play a central role in the body's response to stress, fatigue, immune challenges, and several key physiological and metabolic functions. Issues related to the adrenal glands is very common yet highly under-diagnosed. They consist of two regions:

Adrenal Cortex: Derived from the mesodermal base substance cholesterol, the adrenal cortex produces hormones such as cortisol, corticosterone, aldosterone, and male sex hormones. These hormones play vital roles in physiological functions. Cortisol and corticosterone, known as stress hormones, contribute to the regulation of metabolism, inflammation, and blood sugar, and assist in long-term stress response by enriching the blood with minerals and glucose. Their anabolic effects also aid in healing and regeneration. Aldosterone helps maintain blood pressure by regulating the balance of salt and water in the body. The adrenal cortex's production of male sex hormones can influence the reproductive system. If unresolved, chronic stress may lead to excessive cortisol production, causing problems like weight gain and high blood sugar.

Adrenal Medulla: The endodermal adrenal medulla manages emotional and physical stress by producing the hormones noradrenaline, dopamine, and adrenaline. These hormones are pivotal in activating the "fight, fright, flight" response, a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event or threat. This acute stress response increases heart rate, blood sugar, and mental alertness, along with other physiological changes. Chronic anger or emotional upheaval can strain the adrenal medulla, leading to an energetic drain.

Stress

The adrenal glands are highly sensitive to stress, and chronic stress can lead to various disorders:

Psychiatric Disorders: Neuroses, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder.

Neurological Disorders: Migraines, peripheral neuropathy, dizziness, tremors.

Glandular Disorders: Issues related to other glands including the thyroid which is responsible for cell growth; for instance, uterine cancer, polyps, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism.

Cardiovascular Disorders: Coronary artery disease, stroke, heart attack, hypertension, arrhythmias.

Respiratory Disorders: Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), difficulty in breathing.

Immunological Disorders: Possible tumor promotion, reduced resistance to infection, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation.

Metabolic Disorders: Diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, difficulty in regulating blood sugar.

Gastrointestinal Disorders: Ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic indigestion, malabsorption.

Genitourinary Disorders: Impotence, incontinence, menstrual problems, urinary tract infections, kidney dysfunction.

Musculoskeletal Disorders: Muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, joint pain.

Skin Disorders: Acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin thinning.

Cysts and Cancer

Adrenal Weakness: If the adrenal glands don't produce enough adrenaline, the heart may pump slower, leading to fluid accumulation and cysts in the prostate, ovaries, and breasts. These cysts can harden and potentially lead to cancer.

Blood Flow: Increasing blood flow can help resolve cysts if addressed quickly.

Signs of Imbalance

Frequent sickness, fatigue, low libido, low backache, chronic health issues, dark circles under the eyes, hair loss, early greying, frequent urination at night, cold hands and feet, brain fog, pain and weakness in the lower back, loins, thighs, knees and lower body, urinary weakness and debility, polyuria and nocturia, impotence and male sexual dysfunction, moodiness and irritability, depression, muscle or bone loss, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, body aches, unexplained weight loss, lightheadedness, skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation), weakened stress response, insulin resistance, sleep problems, weight gain, sweet and salty food cravings, difficulty getting up in the morning, increased PMS or menopausal symptoms, inability to handle stress, increased allergies, frequent sighing, cravings for salty foods, higher energy levels in the evenings, overuse of stimulants like caffeine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Jing (essence): The statement by the Chinese that the kidneys harbor our Jing refers to the adrenals having the highest concentration of neural crest cell derivatives in the entire body. Strong Jing corresponds to robust characteristics like strong teeth, which are made by neural crest cells, while weak Jing relates to signs of aging like grey hair and deafness, also linked to neural crest cells. Jing's manifestations include the progression from youth to adulthood, reflected in functions controlled by the pituitary (aided by neural crest cells), and can be seen in the structure of the face and jaw. Neural crest cells also create the heart's connective tissue, affecting lifespan. Jing as a concept is not the same as neural crest cells but they represent the body's inherent organizational strength. Weak organizational energy leads to neural crest cells that don't form properly or function well, resulting in genetic disorders affecting facial development. The Chinese recognized these markers as indicators of weak Jing.

Kidneys & Urinary Tract: The adrenal glands are connected to the kidneys not just through the renal fascia, but also by way of the renal artery, draining into the renal vein, and receiving nerve connections from the renal plexus. The kidneys regulates the body's water content and are essential for maintaining healthy bones, as well as producing healthy bone marrow and blood. It determines the level of adrenaline and dopamine in the body, affecting our energy and rest. In addition, it forms a relationship with the heart through various hormones. During puberty, the adrenal cortex starts to produce sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen, and this production continues throughout adulthood. Caffeine depletes kidney qi, yang, yin, and essence, contributing to liver and adrenal issues, and long-term exhaustion. Regular coffee drinkers, especially those who don’t feel its effects, may be nearing adrenal exhaustion. Adrenal fatigue is often considered a kidney yang deficiency. If left untreated, it can progress to a kidney yin deficiency. These deficiencies are often marked by a light low groaning tone to the voice, a darkish pallor under the eyes, negative attitudes of insufficiency or inadequacy, needing to sit and not being able to stand for long, and worrying about money. Additionally, those who experience traumatic shock or long term stress often have their hair turn gray or fall out.

Kidney Yang (medulla): Linked to the reactive sympathetic nervous system and the hormones adrenaline, dopamine, and norepinephrine, produced in the adrenals. A deficiency in kidney yang can lead to symptoms like cold hands and feet, edema, night urination, and low libido. This deficiency parallels disorders like adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, and sexual dysfunction. This condition is worsened by the use of marijuana, diminishing our natural drive, motivation, and willpower. Adrenaline is used to treat conditions like asthma, anaphylaxis, and slow heart rates. It works on the cell membrane's outside, which is known as the yang aspect of the cell. It never enters the cell but attaches to a receptor on the outside, initiating a cascade of chemicals that open or close gates on the cell's exterior. In the heart and muscles, adrenaline prompts more calcium to enter, which amplifies the force of contraction; in the lungs, it leads to the relaxation of the muscles, permitting more air to flow in; in the brain, it initiates the emotional reactions connected with fear.

Kidney Yin (cortex): Associated with the parasympathetic nervous system and the hormone cortisol, produced in the adrenals. A kidney yin deficiency may manifest as sore back, leg weakness, insomnia, and anxiety. It may parallel disorders like diabetes, high blood pressure, and hyperthyroidism. Although necessary for daily function and stress response, excessive cortisol can lead to fluid retention, osteoporosis, muscle wasting, depression, and diabetes. If our bodies stopped producing cortisol, it would result in significant illness. While adrenaline binds to the exterior of the cell (yang), cortisol is absorbed into the very core (yin). Contrary to the effects of adrenaline which are more immediate, the effects of cortisol can take years.

Greek Medicine

Hot Temperament: The adrenals are generally represented as stimulating and energizing various functions to adapt to stress.

Adrenal Cortex: Sanguine, nutritive, and anabolic, enriching the blood and decreasing swelling.

Adrenal Medulla: Choleric, energetic, and catabolic, stimulating acute stress response.

Faculty Support: Adrenal glands produce supplementary amounts of sexual hormones, bridging a connection between vital and generative faculties; supporting heart and lungs (vital), kidneys and pancreas in blood sugar regulation (natural), enhancing mental alertness and stimulating the sympathetic nervous system functioning (psychic), supporting male sexual function and response (generative).

Root Center: The adrenals form the basic energetic support for the entire organism, associated with the Root Chakra.

Kidneys & Urinary Tract: Weak adrenals may adversely affect the vitality and functioning of the kidneys and urinary tract, which are interlinked with the adrenal glands'. When the kidneys are not effectively eliminating fluids, it can lead to the accumulation of phlegm and moisture. Additionally, the kidneys have a connection to the soles of the feet which may be affected by cold conditions. Conditions of melancholy or devitalization of the adrenals, kidneys, and urinary tract often correlate with chronic fatigue.

Adrenal Exhaustion: Chronic stress and irregular habits can lead to fatigue, irritability, pain, and impotence in men usually caused by flare-ups of Choleric anger or any experiences which feel like a roller coaster. Sexual overindulgence also exhaust the adrenals.

Male Sexual Function: The adrenal glands provide energetic support for male sexual function. Issues with adrenal energy may result in sexual dysfunction, including impotence or premature ejaculation.

Blood Sugar Regulation: In instances of dangerously low blood sugar, the adrenal glands jump into action, raising levels through adrenaline. Chronic instability may involve adrenocortical hormones, aggravating factors in type II diabetes.

German New Medicine (GNM)

Adrenal Cortex (Off Track)

Conflict: Feeling like you've made a wrong choice or gone down the wrong path.

Under-Functioning: Waterhouse-Friedrichsen syndrome, adrenal gland insufficiency, Addison's disease. Reduced cortisol production, feeling stressed and tired.

Over-Functioning: Excess cortisol (Cushing's disease) with high blood pressure, round face, obesity, muscle atrophy or aldosterone (Conn's syndrome) with high blood pressure, low potassium, weak muscles, thirst, frequent urination.

Adrenal Medulla (Unbearable Stress)

Conflict: Extreme tension from stress, feeling overwhelmed. Something is beyond reach.

Diagnosis: Pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma. High blood pressure, racing heart, increased blood sugar, sweating.

Astrology

Mars: This planet governs adrenaline, testosterone, male sexual function, playing a role in the catabolic metabolism where fuel is burned. It also oversees the release of toxins, the regulation of red blood cells, iron, and muscle tissue, including tendons and ligaments. It extends to the entire muscular system, embodying vitality and physical strength. The energy of Mars is hot and dry so it's temperament is Choleric. Mars co-rules the adrenals (with Aries/Libra) and the male genitalia (Scorpio).

Aries: Aries is a Choleric sign, and its will to action makes it prone to anger and stress, which deplete and weaken the adrenal glands. The sign is energetic, sharp-eyed, cheerful, and alert, but may become irritable and have a restless tendency to keep going until burnout. This can lead to eyestrain and poor vision as the health of the eyes is dependent on the strength of the adrenals. The preference for stimulants like chili pepper, caffeine, and their attraction to the Sun can overstimulate the adrenal glands, leading them to seek cooling substances like icy drinks, fruits, and seafood.

Libra: Libra, the Sanguine Air sign that rules the kidneys and lower back, is a counterbalance to Aries. The kidneys and genitourinary tract are only as strong and healthy as the adrenal glands, which are their energetic support. Underlying adrenal weakness and exhaustion weakens the kidneys and genitourinary system, leading to urinary debility, urinary tract infections, inflammation or irritation, uremia, and gout. Since male sexual function is also dependent on the strength and health of the adrenal glands, problems may arise in this area.

Aries-Libra Dynamic: Kidneys, adrenals, eyes, head and cranium, low back, lumbar spine, bladder, genitourinary system (especially male), hips and loins. Aries represents personal power, autonomy, honesty, and decisiveness, often leaning towards individualism and assertiveness. Libra, on the other hand, emphasizes cooperation, diplomacy, compromise, and social harmony. While Aries is direct and often acts alone, Libra seeks mutual choice and operates through consensus. This represents a struggle between competition and cooperation, selfhood and partnership, war and peace, doing and being. Finding balance is needed for acid/alkaline balance, as Aries tends to run acidic, and for hormonal balance, where Aries tends toward excess testosterone. The tension between these two forces may cause a lot of frustration and aggravation, particularly in males, manifesting as irritation or inflammation of the genitourinary tract.

Healing and Relief

Diet: Paleo; reduce caffeine, sugars and sweeteners, gluten, starch, white flour, processed foods, and hydrogenated oils.

Nutritional Supplements: Ionic Magnesium, B Vitamins, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin C, Zinc, Probiotics, L-Theanine

Herbal Adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Rhodiola Rosea, Holy Basil, Licorice Root, Siberian Ginseng, He Shou Wu

Lifestyle Considerations: Address societal pressure to perform, lack of self-care, and the conflict in real life. Regular exercise of varied intensity. Practice meditation, mindfulness, Tai Chi, Qigong. Express creatively and spend time in nature. Align sleep schedule with circadian rhythm to nourish yin. Hydrate more and add salt to water. Avoid various toxins like dioxin or insecticides which contribute to adrenal malfunction. Spend more time in the sun each day. Don't sit for too long. Try wearing a haramaki, stretch cotton (for summer) or stretch wool (for winter).

These are research notes from the work of Daniel Keown, Michel Odoul, Michael Tierra, Lesley Tierra, Johan Boshwinkel, David Osborn, Judith Hill, Eileen Nauman, Björn Eybl, Caroline Markolin, Deb Shapiro, and Jody Smith.

Vampires, History and You

DRAGAN I (12th century)

Blood-sucker from the Second Bulgarian Empie credited with being the first vampire. Claims of his exact birth, life and undeath are generally disputed and little proof of him even existing has been found. He is purported to have been of noble blood though as result of an affair, dying early of sickness and ressurecting as the original vampiric spawn for reasons unknown.

Some say he simply faded away or that he lives on to this day in form of the monsters of modern myth.

VLADISLAV III (1431-1476)

Contrary to popular belief, the Voivode of Wallachia, Vlad "The Impaler" was NOT A VAMPIRE. However due to his sheer bloodlust and sadism he was a magnet for them. Many high-ranking Wallachian officials at the time were vampires fully on board with his ideas who wholeheartedly supported his plundering and impaling of the Transylvanian Saxons.

He was slain by his own troops as they had mistaken him for a Turk.

ELIZABETH BATHORY DE ESCED (1560-1614)

A Hungarian countess moonlighting as a serial killer. Elizabeth was of the superstitious belief that bathing in blood would keep her youth intact, as her vampirism started taking a toll on her exterior, causing her to kill over 600 young maidens.

In early 1611 she was detained and imprisoned in Csejte castle for the remainder of her life where the deprivation of blood caused her to die four years later at the age of 54.

GRIGORI YEFIMOVICH RASPUTIN (1792-?)

Hired as a faith healer by the Nicholas II's son, the Siberian strannik Grigori Rasputi was not only a skilled manipulator and medical practitioner but also a possibly immortal vampire. Despite having a religious awakening after a pilgrimage in 1897 he was an opulent man enjoying all the pleasures of food, strong drink and any woman that would have him (which were quite many).

Following multiple failed assasination attemps Rasputin was thought to have been killed by a group of noblemen. Their first attempt to poison him with cyanide-laced cake and wine failed as his physiology withstood the poison, he was shot in the forehead and his corpse was diposed in the Malaya Nevka River.

However current paranormal scholars believe he is still alive and well, living in the shadows.

"JACK THE RIPPER" (Active 1888)

Another vampire serial killer is said to have haunted Victorian England. Although not even the name "Jack the Ripper" is for certain the methods of murder and removal of internal organs point to the suspect or suspects being of vampiric nature.

Never identified.

PETER KÜRTEN (1883-1931)

Maybe not one of the deadliest but probably most heinous vamprire serial killers, Peter Kürten was a man who truly earned his titles. Such charming nicknames as "The Düsseldorf Monster" and "The King of Sexual Perverts". Kürten went on a spree of arsons, homicides and molestations in the year 1929 before he was apprehended.

Peter was executed via beheading in 1931 on accounts of nine cases of murder and seven cases of attempted murder. His head was split in two (possibly to avoid biting post-decapitation) and mummified. In the late 1940s the head was moved to the US and now resides in Wisconsin.

KAREN SABNOCK (1912-Present)

The matriarch of a vampire clan which migrated to America after years of vampires confining themselves to Europe. At her arrival in the 1950s she fell in love with the suburban lifestyle that had been established post war. Her clan has grown strong over the years acting as a haven for vampirekind in the American Northeast...well as long as they conform to the standards of it.

She governs the coven as a sort of omnipotent wine aunt and is currently on the lookout for another vampiric bride, having set her eyes on the human wife of one of her clansmen.

BILLIAM FREDERICK SUBURBS (1914-2012)

A prominent social figure and progenitor of the Karen's suburban vampire community. He was the classic sitcom family man father of three living with his wife...until she killed him and their children after discovering they had killed a man to drink his blood in front of her.

Since his demise the clan has been on the hunt for his spouse Marsha.

The Physiology Of The Liver

The liver is a vital organ responsible for numerous functions including metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, and vitamin storage. It weighs around 2% of an adult’s body weight and is unique due to its dual blood supply from the portal vein (75%) and the hepatic artery (25%).

Cellular Structure

The liver’s functional unit is the lobule, which is hexagonal in shape. Each corner of the hexagon has a portal triad consisting of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and bile duct. The lobule is composed mainly of hepatocytes, which have distinct apical and basolateral membranes. Hepatocytes are categorized into three zones based on their function and blood supply:

Zone I (periportal region): Closest to the blood supply, involved in oxidative metabolism (e.g., gluconeogenesis, bile formation).

Zone II (pericentral region): Sits between Zones I and III.

Zone III: Farthest from the blood supply, primarily involved in detoxification and biotransformation.

Blood and bile flow in opposite directions within the liver. The space of Disse, between the hepatocytes and the sinusoidal lumen, contains Kupffer cells (macrophages) and Ito cells (fat-storing stellate cells).

Development

The liver develops from endodermal cells of the foregut as the hepatic diverticulum around the fourth week of embryonic development. It undergoes complex differentiation influenced by various pathways (e.g., Wnt/β-catenin, FGF). By the sixth week, the liver participates in hematopoiesis, and hepatocytes begin bile production by the 12th week.

Organ Systems and Functions

The liver interacts with multiple body systems:

Digestive and Metabolic Roles: Aids in digestion, stores fat-soluble vitamins, and handles cholesterol.

Hematological Functions: Produces clotting factors and proteins.

Detoxification: Metabolizes drugs and other xenobiotics through phase I (oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis) and phase II (conjugation) reactions.

Bilirubin Metabolism: Converts heme to unconjugated bilirubin, then conjugates it for excretion.

Hormonal and Protein Synthesis: Involved in thyroid hormone activation and synthesis of nearly all plasma proteins.

Related Testing

Liver function tests (LFTs), including ALT, AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), help assess liver health. Imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, and MRI are also employed to identify liver abnormalities.

Pathophysiology

Cirrhosis results from chronic liver injury (e.g., due to alcoholism, hepatitis B and C), leading to fibrosis and necrosis. It causes symptoms like portal hypertension, coagulopathy, and jaundice. Hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, E), autoimmune diseases (e.g., primary biliary cholangitis), and metabolic conditions (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) also contribute to liver pathology.

Clinical Significance

Understanding liver physiology helps manage conditions like viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, benign liver lesions, and liver cancers. Early detection through appropriate testing and management strategies is essential for preventing end-stage liver disease and improving patient outcomes

DOB: August 12th; November 25th ; October 15th; November 5th

Age: Same Age As Meng

Abilities: Ginthiji- Elephant physiology, super strength, super endurance, super durability, and super senses; Athalia- Imp physiology and abilities ; Maisey- Assassination skills; Smokey- Bomb humanoid physiology and abilities

Headcannon Voice Actors: Laura Stahl/Max Duran- Ginthiji (English/Spanish);Rena Taylor/Ananda García -Athalia(English/Spanish); Sarah Wiedenheft/Mariana Ortiz- Maisey (English/Spanish); Hugo Harold-Harrison/ Rolando de la Fuente - Smokey (English/Spanish)

Species: Ginthiji - born from magical uplifted elephants; Athalia - imp; Maisey- human; Smokey- bomb headed humanoid Residence: Black Hat Institute (currently-all); Nairobi, Kenya (Ginthiji Tembo); Hell (Athalia Grotesque); New York, United States (Maisey Hemolock); London, England (Smokey Fawke)

Personality: They are all loyal to Ubel out of wanting to either kiss up to him or due to family ties with his mother. They all are pretty sadistic, nasty, and cruel to those who cross their path or they see as inferior from coming from lesser families.

Ginthiji is a vicious young boy who likes to bull his physical weight around and hurt those smaller than him. He although seems simple but is actually way smarter than he looks and gets the best grades of them all. He does get jealous when it appears someone gets better grades and will make their lives miserable. He will be vicious towards human members except for Maisey who he says is the exception and Ubel because he's only half human.

Athalia due to her family's long history with the Netherpits is loyal to Ubel to a fault and will not hesitate to say positive things about even though she is often abused and mistreated by him. She is very sensitive about her small size and tries to make up for it in other ways. She tends to be very sneaky and devious and is always plotting how to win thing sin Ubel's favor. She also likes listening in for juicy information that could help the group as well. She easily gets angry when Ubel is insulted and tries to get at the person who does which is often Meng's group.

Maisey seems like she is the nicest of the bunch but she also has a psychotic side that comes out when it comes to showing off her assassination skills. She takes great pride in her long lineage of assassins and will proudly proclaim it to people. She really jives with Meng due to the fact that they both come from assassin families. She has a hatred for Jia because of her closeness with Meng and will try to get rid of her to have Meng.

Smokey out of them all is the most humorous but it doesn't mean he isn't devious and malicious. He has a really nasty side that likes to make people think he's going to bomb things but then fakes them out. When he does it for real he does his real routine and blows people away who are too late to runaway. He likes causing destruction to his enemies and bringing nasty laughs while he is doing it. Background: They are Ubel's clique who follow him and his orders. They will do anything they say due to wanting his influence and because some of their families have connection to his. Ginthiji's family is a bunch of magically uplifted elephants who strike back against humanity in the name of protecting elephant kind. Athalia is from a family of imps that have served Ubel's family for generations and her parents are Ubel's mother's head minions. Maisey comes from the Hemlocks who area an assassin family based in New York and an excellent track record which is why they were often hired by the the Netherpit family a lot. Smokey Fawke comes from London, England where his family are criminals who use their bomb physiology to do criminal activity. They frequently buttheads with Meng's circle, while Maisey sports a crush on Meng and sees Lia as a rival for his affection.

* Ginthiji speaks Swahili and English.

* Ginthiji is a vegetarian due to being an elephant and loves peanut related stuff.

* Athalia and Maisey have known each other as long as Ubel.

* Smokey's family still lives in London and he visits on breaks. He has a Cockney accent and many other British mannerisms.

* Maisey has a love for New York style pizza.

* Ginthiji is often made to do Ubel's homework for him. He also is often tasked with carrying his stuff.

* Athalia usually is eager to get compliments from Ubel but due to how bratty he is that never comes.

* Athalia and Maisey are doormates.

* Ginthiji, Smokey, and Ubel are doormates as well.

Hippocrates

Historians accept that Hippocrates was born around 460 BC. C. on the Greek island of Cos and who throughout his life became a famous doctor and professor of medicine. However, other existing biographical data about him are probably incorrect or legendary. Soranus of Ephesus, a 2nd century Greek gynecologist, was the first biographer of Hippocrates and is the source of much of the data on his person. Information about him can also be found in the writings of Aristotle (4th century BC), in the Suda (10th century) and in the works of John Tzetzes (12th century).

The only surviving contemporary mention of Hippocrates comes from Plato's dialogue Protagoras, in which the philosopher describes him as "Hippocrates of Cos, he of the Asclepiads."

Hippocrates taught and practiced medicine throughout his life, traveling at least to Thessaly, Thrace, and the Sea of Marmara. He probably died in Larisa at the age of 83 or 90, although according to some sources he was well over 100 years old. Different stories survive about his death.

Hippocrates is considered the first doctor who rejected superstitions, legends and popular beliefs that pointed to supernatural or divine forces as the cause of diseases. Pythagoras' disciples considered him the man who united philosophy and medicine. He separated the discipline of medicine from religion, believing and arguing that illness was not a punishment inflicted by the gods, but rather the consequence of environmental factors, diet, and lifestyle habits. In fact, there is not a single mention of an alleged mystical illness in the entire Hippocratic Corpus. Despite these advances, Hippocrates worked with many convictions based on what is now known to be incorrect anatomy and physiology, such as the belief in the four humors.

The medical schools of Classical Greece were divided into two fundamental tendencies regarding how diseases had to be treated. On the one hand, the Cnidus school focused on diagnosis, while the Cos school focused on patient care and prognosis.

Editors’ Choice:

This week, we’re sharing some of our favorite stories that take us on an emotional roller coaster. Enjoy our recs for fics tagged “angst with a happy ending”! Be sure to share your favorites, too.

no one won the war by mmousik | Rated T | Leo McGarry & Toby Ziegler (No Pairings Listed) | Complete | “What happened?” “The war happened, Toby,” Leo said it like it were obvious, but Toby heard the blank, conceded tone as clear as day. “And serving my country was something every man did. It wasn't noble nor heroic to read from pages when there were people getting shot and crawling through dead bodies. I wanted to protect my county, not read about it. There was a time for reading and studying and writing, and it had long passed by the time I had enlisted myself.” Toby and Leo have an emotionally charged conversation about war.

i’ve got a blank space baby (and i’ll write your name) by sam_writes_fics for JessBakesCakes | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | No one knows how or why the marks started appearing – some say it’s a physiological phenomenon brought on by evolution, others say it’s divine intervention – but the world changed seemingly overnight into a place where the stars align for those brave enough to ask for it. // soulmate au

let my love fix you up (when you're coming undone) by JessBakesCakes for hufflepuffhermione | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | The Gaza Arc reimagined: what if Sam flew to Germany to make sure his friends didn't miss their third chance?

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have- but I have it by IreneSpring | Rated T | C. J. Cregg/Kate Harper, Danny Concannon/C.J. Cregg | Complete | C.J. ends her relationship with Danny and begins a new life in California.

but i could only look down by smallandblueandloud | Rated G | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler, C. J. Cregg/Andrea Wyatt/Toby Ziegler | Complete | “CJ,” he says, bracing himself for the big guns. “CJ, tell me you don’t love us and I’ll drop it. Tell me you left because you didn’t love us anymore, and I will walk out of this room and we can never speak of this again.” “Toby-” (or, it's been years since cj walked out on toby and andy, and he's ready to ask her to come back. things don't go to plan.)

Everything Else by piperset | Rated G | Danny Concannon/C.J. Cregg | Complete | The aftermath of "Institutional Memory."

It looks like we're stuck with tumblr's new post word limits for the foreseeable future, but stay tuned for our reblog with this week's fics and chapter updates!

What is spatiotemporal amnesia (and is that actually a thing or is my gallifreyan making up words again? Xey mentioned it in passing and she's being difficult about it and I actually doubt he's trying to be. Any time I've asked it about it, they either don't know or can't remember learning what it means)

What is Spatio-Temporal amnesia?

Spatio-temporal amnesia in Gallifreyans is a theoretical but probable condition affecting their memory and perception of space and time. Due to their unique physiology and complex relationship with the fourth dimension, Gallifreyans could experience a form of amnesia that is intricately linked to their spatial and temporal awareness.

Y'all already know that Gallifreyans perceive and navigate time in a unique way, and have heightened spatial awareness. Spatio-temporal amnesia could theoretically disrupt these abilities independently, leading to difficulties in recalling events in their proper temporal order, recognising temporal shifts, and experiencing disorientation both in familiar and unfamiliar environments. And of course, it could disrupt them both at the same time, leading them to quite a space-time pickle sandwich.

🚨 Possible Causes

Some causes could include ...

Temporal Shock: Exposure to intense temporal disturbances or paradoxes could overload a Gallifreyan's time lobe, leading to temporary or permanent amnesia, like stepping into a surprise temporal rift on a casual Tuesday.

Regeneration Complications: The process of regeneration, which involves significant physiological and psychological changes, could potentially cause spatiotemporal amnesia.

Neurological Damage: Damage to the brain via trauma or disease, particularly the time lobe or super-ganglion, could disrupt the neural pathways responsible for spatiotemporal processing, like having a frustratingly bad Wi-Fi connection.

Chrono Dementia: This is a devastating condition affecting time-sensitive species. It targets a Timegri's time lobe, leading to a reduction and loss of their time abilities and extra senses. It causes severe confusion, extreme difficulty in orienting themselves in real time, and issues with regeneration and memory.

📚 Symptoms

Difficulty in perceiving the flow of time, leading to confusion about past, present, and future events.

Problems with spatial navigation, such as getting lost in familiar places or inability to recognise previously known environments.

Simultaneous confusion in both time and space, resulting in a complete inability to understand one's current location and time period.

Inability to associate/distinguish time periods with certain spaces, like landing on 12th century Earth and genuinely wondering where all the cars are.

Missing memories or inability to recall specific events, especially those involving significant spatial or temporal elements.

🩺 Potential Treatments

Chrono-Therapy: Techniques designed to restore the normal functioning of the time lobe, possibly involving exposure to stable temporal fields or controlled time travel. A bit like taking your brain on a relaxing spa break so it can 'recharge'.

Neural Realignment: Advanced Gallifreyan medical procedures to repair or regenerate damaged neural pathways, particularly in the brain areas responsible for spatial and temporal processing.

Psychological Support: Cognitive therapies to help the affected Gallifreyan cope with their disorientation and gradually rebuild their memory and perception of space-time.

🏫 So ...

Spatio-temporal amnesia in Gallifreyans is a complex theoretical condition that would disrupt their unique relationship with space and time. GIL would recommend that Xey returns to Gallifrey for a neurological assessment as soon as possible.

What are some Gallifreyan protections against forced memory loss?: How their memory works and how they can protect themselves.

How do Time Lords see the future?: Overview of the five-dimensional aspect of Time Lords and how they perceive the future.

What does time feel like to a Time Lord?: Theoretical ideas on how Time Lords perceive actual time through their senses.

Hope that helped! 😃

LITTLE THINGS I LIKE TO BELIEVE ABOUT THE TEEN TITANS (‘03 show & comics based)

- Robin pays for damages caused by fights and villains with money from Batman and the team set aside two days a month to go help out cleaning the city and doing community service. It just always pisses me off when superheroes think work like that is too lowly for them bc they’re always fighting villains (and causing lots of collateral damage in the process)BUT PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT TO BE HEROES 🤬🤬🤬

- Beast Boy has an overbite

- Doom patrol never really prioritized his education, at least not mento, so BB really only got a 3rd grade education before switching over to full time training

- Batman owns so many industries so why wouldn’t he own some sort of school district or academic program? I’m thinking he owns some online schooling services and Robin convinced him to let the Titans do self paced online courses to at least get their high school diploma

- ^^^ HOWEVER, there’s an initial placement test you have to take to determine your starting grade level. Cyborg is pretty much on track, a little advanced actually, and just needs to finish 12th grade before applying for some online college courses. (Major: Physiology, Engineering, or computer science). Starfire is a little behind but Tamaranian education is remarkably similar to Earth so she’s only behind by about a grade and a half. Raven is a similar case though she proves herself to be extremely smart and eventually works herself to her appropriate grade, and then beyond :D yayyy raven!!! Robin already got his high school diploma. Beast Boy, however, is wayyy behind :( he placed at 5th grade but struggled so much initially that he had to be moved to 4th grade instead. School is a huge struggle for him and he honestly hates how dumb he feels in the virtual classroom. Angst potential!!! But Robin helps him when he can and tries to build his confidence

- Ok so I think Mento & Rita were married, had a divorce due to a falling out but remained a team, then remarried sometime after the events of Homecoming. Just imagine all the titans getting dressed up and dapper for the wedding!!! Beast boy is the ring bearer!!! They all oversleep and end up losing their damn minds trying to get ready in time!!! Raven and starfire have to do each other’s makeup!! Beast boy gets ready the fastest and is assigned to make everyone breakfast but it all gets burnt so they get McDonald’s on the way and its hilarious!!!

- Remember how BB begged to do Boy Scouts but ended up having mento pick him up in the middle of the night from camp???? I wonder whyyyyy hmmmm (intense discrimination and bullying) hmmmm

#teen titans #dc teen titans #pt. 2 in the works #I just hold them close to my heart #they are dear to me #sillies #beast boy #Robin #dick grayson #2003 teen titans #dc #headcanon

Mikan Tsumiki: Hogwarts AU

Mikan Tsumiki is a Pureblood witch that was born on the 12th of May 1970 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1981, being sorted into Ravenclaw house.

She has a Willow wand with a Dragon Heartstring Core.

She has a Non-Corporeal Patronus.

Her favorite subject is Charms and her least favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

She was a volunteer in the Hospital Wing.

Mikan is an extremely meek, paranoid and fragile individual who suffers from hazardously low self-esteem as a result of severe abuse and bullying. This has resulted in many behavioral symptoms such as being easily intimidated, breaking down and crying with little provocation, profusely apologizing and nervously stuttering while speaking. She constantly worries about annoying, boring or offending others, going so far as asking Hajime Hinata if it would be alright for her to remember his name when introducing herself. This delicate persona makes her a natural target for Hiyoko Saionji's predatory and cruel personality. However, with her dream of becoming a healer, Mikan tends to act much more confident while volunteering in the Hospital Wing, and she is knowledgeable and intelligent. Her medical knowledge proves to be useful in murders, as she provides autopsy reports, including information on the corpse's state, details on injuries, cause of death, and time of death. Furthermore, she sometimes gives (often unwanted) health advice to others concerning things like eating and sleeping, and may occasionally start to describe things like bodily functions in way too much detail in her wish to give the other students' information on the subject at hand. Unlike most students, Mikan has even mentioned that she likes the killing game, because her classmates acknowledge her and her talent in healing magic makes her useful.

Perhaps because of her high understanding of human physiology, Mikan is shown to be very skilled at reading people's faces, but she tends to over-analyze them and is quick to assume that she is disliked by those around her. She generally wants to be liked by and help other people, but her utter lack of confidence and wish to not be a bother causes her to rarely assert herself or state her feelings openly; if she feels the need, she will more than likely ask for permission from her peers to do so. This is exacerbated considerably during investigations, where despite her talent being incredibly useful for solving a murder, she will rarely ever speak up by her own accord. Since her social intuition is generally poor, if there is an awkward pause in a conversation, she will immediately begin to panic and apologize, believing it to be her fault. However, despite lacking many basic social skills, Mikan does actively attempt to gel with her surroundings by altering aspects of her conduct to suit what she projects as the thoughts of her peers. Notably, she appears exaggeratedly clumsy and often ends up in embarrassing and revealing poses, leading her to apologize profusely, though it's been heavily implied and even pointed out by Hiyoko that Mikan does these poses on purpose in order to gain attention and pity. Because of her insistently klutzy and cloying personality, even for all the pity and leeway she generally receives from her kinder classmates, many of them do still see her as somewhat off-putting, incompetent or irritating, causing them to distance themselves from her rather than outright mistreat her.

Because of the severe abuse she has incurred in the past, Mikan is very awkward and has a warped perception of both positive and negative social interaction. When treated with any sort of individual respect or sympathy, her first response is most often outright confusion, and sometimes assuming she has done something wrong. When first becoming friends with Hajime, she offers him to beat, strip, draw on or do other bad things to her, and states that she has done so multiple times with previous schoolmates so that they won't hate her and will continue to associate with her. She relates this to a belief that being ignored is even worse than being abused, thinking that the people who don't bully her don't care about her existence at all, a prospect that scares her much more. If someone treats her well and is outwardly kind to her in the long-term, she tends to become obsessive and cling to them, similar to the behavior of a stalker, which is interpreted as being extremely creepy (by Hajime at least), showing that she is unable to compartmentalize and reciprocate those positive feelings in a normal, healthy way. This was taken full advantage of by her supposed beloved, who turned that affection into a pathological, slave-like subservience.

By defaulting to a state of unnaturally intense submissiveness and self-deprecation as a defense mechanism, Mikan is somewhat prone to bizarre outbursts, where the repressed elements of her personality rapidly surface for brief moments before burying themselves again, usually followed by an apology for her erratic behavior. These traits include deep-seated resentment for her abusers, general frustration over how she is treated, various sadistic or otherwise disturbing obsessions, an intense yearning for control, attention and sympathy, as well as her sexual urges. In her third year, she has a fleeting moment of lashing out angrily and shouting "you are done for" and "you're not gonna get away now that I've caught you" at no one in particular and seemingly completely out of nowhere, and then tries to write it off by claiming that she says nonsensical things when she's nervous. During one of the investigations, she also mentions that she finds a sudden urge to kill quite understandable (implying she has had such fantasies of enacting revenge on her abusers), and she has mentioned that she enjoys horror movies because of all the blood and helpless victims, especially appearing to enjoy bully characters getting what's coming for them. She also has a disturbing liking for Skelegrow, repeatedly offering it to Hajime when she gains access to the Hospital Wing, and she even chases him around attempting to get him to drink one once. She is also mentioned to creepily stare at Hajime after they became friends and he sometimes had a feeling that she is forever watching him from somewhere, indicating that she may have stalked Hajime. In spite of her often tightly pent-up demeanor, Mikan also shows by far the most sexual desire among all of the female students in her year, particularly for Hajime. When either extremely tired or under the Imperius Curse, respectively, she ends up cradling his head and falling asleep on top of him on two occasions, as well as unsubtly implying she would like to have sex with him through some brief, coy remarks. Out of everyone in her year, the blatancy of her sexual innuendos is only rivaled by Teruteru Hanamura.

The dichotomy of Mikan's two-faced psyche is best represented by her mixed motivations for becoming a healer. Directly contrasting her abusers, Mikan sincerely wants to help those who have endured physical harm, and generally wants to assist and participate in the group. However, she has also admitted that she occasionally relishes the power she holds over the sickly, helpless people who have no choice but to rely on her and listen to her to survive. While acting as a healer allows her to feel useful, something she doesn't normally feel, it also indulges her selfish urge to assert absolute dominance over something, a sensation she essentially never feels otherwise given her general docility. She has openly contemplated rendering Hajime an invalid so he can stay with her forever, but he convinces her that he'll stay regardless, and thus doing so would be unnecessary. This shows Hajime's deft understanding of how Mikan manically depends on having other people around despite seeing herself as undesirable company, as well as his empathy toward her.

She is one the first one out of everyone in this killing game that starts working for Junko even if she isn't the first one to be subjected to the Imperius Curse, which was accompanied by a drastic personality shift which gradually reveals itself as she begins to be suspected as the blackened during the murders in her fourth year. All of her repressed, negative and selfish traits take dominance within her, causing her to become angry, manipulative and dangerous, and in a private moment with Hajime, somewhat seductive. She is highly embittered and clearly aware of her maltreatment, and in distinct opposition to before, boldly calls the others out on it, even those who defended her during the investigation but otherwise ignored her day-to-day. She angrily questions why everyone hates and bullies her, and blames her classmates exclusively for her evil deeds and transition into dark magic, taking advantage of their pity in an attempt to escape her accusations all the while. Before her remembrance, Mikan was primarily self-effacing and would adapt to her environment for the benefit of others and to reduce conflict; but once the Imperius Curse sets in, she is cunning and deceptive purely to preserve herself, even at the cost of the others' lives. As she turns increasingly violent and unstable, her apologizing habit still persists, repeatedly asking to be forgiven in a way that seems to be reflexive or like a mantra, but while also staunchly denying her charges to the point of angrily pulling her hair when accused. When finally backed into a corner and revealed as the culprit, Mikan ultimately finds solace in her beloved, and says that her motive for murder was simply her affection for them. She claims to no longer care about anything except that person, believing they were the only one who ever loved and accepted her. After graduating from Hogwarts, Mikan's brainwashed form has a resemblance to a sadistic horror nurse, and it's indicated that she tortures her victims with her medical equipment and knowledge, as well as sexually harasses them.

After awakening from her coma and being released from the Imperius Curse, Mikan reverts to her original temperament, and Junko Enoshima's Imperius Curse is broken. She is shown to feel guilty for her actions as a dark witch and decides to atone along with her other classmates. Notably, she is seen capable of fighting, as she rescued Hiyoko with great duelling skills. She also independently took care of Kyoko and saved her life. While obviously still very insecure, she now appears happier and closer with her classmates, and even has a friendlier relationship with Hiyoko.
