Demystifying Psoriasis Development and Prevention!

Psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that affects millions worldwide, remains a mystery to many. Its development involves a complex interplay of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. As per a study, around 125 million people (2–3% of the total population) suffer from psoriasis all over the world. Around eight million people in the U.S. have psoriasis. In this article, we will be demystifying…

Most annoying NMJ or JC take is when someone that dislikes them is like "oh you're a fan of him? *scoff* Well obviously you've only seen cql, where he was super watered down. In the novel he's a dislikable asshole and that's the objectively superior canon I'm working from instead of your woobified fanfic." Meanwhile your main canon is novel canon and you genuinely find novel Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue complex sympathetic characters.

yknowwww there is something... deeply uncomfortable about the way mel never speaks directly to viktor in the 'build hextech weapons' scene. she really only speaks to jayce. plenty of people have pointed this out already but like the one scene they actually share a meaningful interaction and she treats him like he's beneath her. all this after jayce has emphasized how important viktor is, that hextech is theirs, together. she unequivocally ices him out, there's no other way to interpret this scene. the way it's shot too - from viktor's perspective, looking up at her, as though to reinforce the same belief in him. like he doesn't even bother expecting respect from her - or anyone from the upper echelon of piltover. he's fully accustomed to being dehumanized by everyone around him at this point. sometimes even by jayce, despite the trust they clearly have in each other.

then of course after this scene is viktor experimenting on himself. it's pretty clear that he has internalized his own dehumanization. crazy.

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

so do y'all think we'll ever be able to have a discussion about how the innies are essentially constructed as being in a weird liminal space between adult and child, up to the fact that the actors have talked about essentially playing them as children, and what that implies about how their relationships, specifically mark and helly's relationship, are treated by others in the narrative (and especially by lumon itself) without it devolving into a weird moral argument about whether you're allowed to ship them

beep beep idea time, a penny for riv’s thoughts!

if the lads LI were in teyvat what region, element, and weapon do you think they would have?

OHHHHH MY GODDDDDD THIS ASK IS MY TIME TO SHINE

Ok . Keep in mind I only know like VERY basic summaries of backstories except for Sylus. So I am literally stringing together what I can and applying it to genshin lore based off of that so if the lore from LADS specifically isn’t the most spot on, it’s bc I only care for Sylus to even bother doing any LADS specific research 😭

Zayne would naturally be cryo ofc this is a shocker to no one bc of his evol. But also I think cryo suits him well. From what I gather he went against a god for the girl he fell in love with and I think that cryo is very closely associated with characters who deal with a lot of inner conflict regarding love. It’s imperative that love is the focal point of their conflict whether it’s the desire to be loved, whether it’s because they love someone, whether it’s to pursue something they love, regardless of what is the object of their love, there is a very fierce inner battle that happens and it more often than not is because their decision will change their future drastically. I think ofc wrio is my best example for this naturally but I think he naturally is a people lover. As a child he loved his parents and siblings inexplicably. He battled I’m sure quite a lot of inner conflicts on how to handle the matter of his parents secrets, and when he inevitably made his decision, it is out of a place of love for his siblings and just other children in general. His sentencing in the fortress is his big change and him getting his vision as he enters the fortress I think is very important to the matter that he was recognized for cryo’s power bc of the decision he made out of love, and the impact it made on his life. So yeah I think that the way Zayne handles the inner conflict between being loyal to his god vs acting on his love for mc and the ultimate sacrifice he makes of himself to save her would grant him cryo. Which adds up very well for his evol too. I think he’d be in Sumeru honestly. Just bc he’s very intelligent and I see him going to the nation of wisdom for studies. Plus Sumeru canonically doesn’t have a graduation timeline I think Lisa was like the fastest to graduate at 3 (?) years and there are some scholars that are well into their 30s and have been stuck for years unable to graduate so Sumeru would be perfect for his ridiculously early graduation and specialization into cardiac surgery. Plus I think him having thorough research and a thesis for a rare heart condition and contributing to the Akademiya as a renowned scholar for his findings would be very fitting for him you know? To me Zayne would be a catalyst bc I think catalyst would be a potential way to get his scars into the picture. Like channeling the cryo through the catalyst with his hands and such I think could be a potential way to account for his scars

I think Xavier would be anemo and he would be in mondstadt. I really see him as a knight of favonius high key and I think he would be a very good one at that. The main thing about anemo to me is a character that suffers a great deal of loss and grief and grapples with the reality of never truly being freed of something whether that’s a burden, a guilt, a responsibility. Whatever it might be. Xiao is a very good example ofc. He loses a lot of his loved ones/companions and he is never free of his duties nor his karma. Wanderer. Very very good example of someone who suffers a LOT of loss and grief and is never freed from a) his past as ei’s abandoned puppet and b) the reality that he cannot escape of not being completely human. It’s really important to his character that he absolutely cannot ever freely live his life the way he’d like because he feels he needs to properly be human to do that and he is given his vision when even after he tries to erase his memories and escape everything, he is always reminded of everything once again. He is never freed from it and he will always be tied to his grief and loss. SO XAVIER I THINK IS A GOOD CHARACTER FOR THIS BECAUSE from the little that I know. He exchanged his freedom to save mc and she still died so I think the fact that he loses her despite sacrificing his freedom is like. Sooo perfect for anemo. I wish I could tell you why I see him as a knight of favonius but I just do. I really think it just fits his vibes. Xavier is sword for sure. Bc in game he uses one and also as a knight it only makes sense.

SYLUS. Where do I even start with sylus. I think for him I am a little bit predictable here but I’m gonna say pyro and in natlan as a dragon. I think sylus as a dragon sovereign reincarnation much like Neuvillette would SLAPPPP as lore. But I also think that him having the power of pyro as his own and not being recognized by being granted a vision would be very important to separate him from humans. And it would serve him a great reason to hate the divine and have beef with them (which I think would just add up perfectly for his character lol) but also it sets him up perfectly to be “cursed” in a way as having his powers taken and become a fraction of what it once was in his truest form. Pyro is symbolic to me of a character who has one specific passion in life. Just a passion that they devote their whole life to even if it’s as simple as cooking like xiangling. Sylus is (and this is biased on my part maybe) but to me easily the most loudly passionate character. He is capable of being extremely vulnerable and he doesn’t see an issue with it. If he wants to express something to you, he does. He is very passionate about the way he loves her and while ALL of them love her. Something about Sylus is extremely devoted in a very blatant, no beating around the bush way and it screams pyro to me. And to be in the nation of dragons is just TOO good of a parallel to not use. SYLUS WOULD BE A CLAYMORE AND AS DIABOLICAL AS THAT IS BC OF HIS MYTH LORE . The claymore just fits him idk.

Idk much about rafayel to speak I won’t lie. Like I genuinely know nothing about him apart from he’s like a mermaid dude. I think he would be a polearm though. And Xavier I need his myth lore that’s coming out to properly string together an explanation for certain but I THINK he would be cryo too. And I think he would be in snezhnaya IM A LITTLE BIT LEANING WITH FATUI/HARBINGER CALEB BUT. BUT . Let me see his myth lore first. Also he would be a claymore he’s too beefy to be anything else idc

I keep seeing headcanons and imagines about us/self-inserts being like..;;; always on Unknown's lap or being held there by him as like a comfort thing (I think?) or just to chill there with him

But like ;;;

I wholeheartedly know that they're are all just requests and stuff and it seems to be an idea accepted by so many people and how they like to imagine being with Unknown

But like;;

Me personally, I just. I just...don't like it..(??)

It just makes me uncomfortable for some reason and actually kinda scares me a little, the thought of being just;; grabbed and held? And;; on his lap??

It wouldn't be something I'd want to do, I mean. ;;

So I guess

Is there like..;; anything else I could do with him that wouldn't involve being so close?

See, when I thought of that concept years ago and I started working with it in my writing, it wasn't meant to be perceived as a comfort in the beginning. It was a power play. It was meant to make you feel as uncomfortable as it sounds. Unknown took you from the apartment as a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that you didn't know how to listen to him.

What's the very best way to make you feel uncertain of yourself in a situation where you have no control?

Well, in Unknown's rationale, that's to make you see what he's doing with no escape. This can be particularly even more unsettling if you were close to the RFA. Unknown's not a morally sound person, he's driven by apathy and revenge, and there's a reason why he's not the one with the route. To be able to capture his heart would take you a long time, and that kind of story arc isn't one you can complete in a mere cycle of 11 days, even for a game like MM which does it best to speed-run what would take months already.

This isn't meant to be seen as a good thing, not by any means. I don't always write the unsettling parts because I like to focus on the parts that come later once his walls are down, but this is just one of those things that people like to talk about with Unknown. What would he do in a situation where he has his assistant? He won't do what Ray does. I can affirm that. Ray wanted you to be with him and Unknown didn't want you like that.

The concept changes when we explore the foundation of these ideas.

It's not supposed to sound appealing at first. Though, it becomes a point of comfort for many people because not only does this make you vulnerable, it forces Unknown to be vulnerable as well. You can hear the sound of his every heartbeat, the way his hands twitch, and feel how his body strains itself every step of the way. At some point, it's impossible for him to maintain the air of unsettling fear. You're first when it comes to witnessing this man at his worst.

I understand that it makes you feel uncomfortable, though. That's not everyone's cup of tea. I hope you know that this is just one concept a lot of Unknown fans lot to navigate but it's not a definitive of who he is as a person. We don't know what Unknown would do with someone as his assistant, and there's just things that we've agreed on as a fan collective over the years that have shaped how we write him as your boss.

Just because some fans write him doing this doesn't mean you have to write him doing that, and it certainly doesn't mean you have to imagine something that makes you uncomfortable.

I'm glad you reached out to say something because you're afraid that this concept means Unknown would pointedly make you feel bad and that's not good when you're hunting for fluff. You don't have to like it. That's down to personal preference! You should request stuff from us imagine blogs with the things you're into! I know that my mutuals will be more than happy to write you stuff like I am.

The last thing any of us wants to make someone feel left out.

When it comes to Unknown's proximity, it's hard for me to tell you that he'll leave you with your own personal space. Even in the game, his voice is a whisper that gets louder the closer he gets to you, and that implies that he will get closer to you if he thinks it would be to his benefit to cage you like an animal. But, by that, I mean, the worst you can deal with is him whispering in your ears, pushing you against the wall to laugh at your fear-stricken face, or circling you when you try to explain how you did something.

He doesn't have to pin you to his lap to prove that he's got the upper hand.

But, if you're looking for a comfort thing as opposed to trying to find something that doesn't unnerve you like the lap stuff, I suppose you could be subjected to hand-holding. He's not big on cuddling or stuff like that. But, let's see, I don't think he's immune to holding your hand while you sit on opposite ends of the couch. He hates proximity until it benefits him somehow. Sitting with you is a big thing for him, so if it brings you comfort, he'll stargaze with you when he's got time for a break. Apart but together.

This kind of overlaps later on with him as SE Saeran pushes away most physical contact outside of parallel play and sitting together. Because SE Saeran is just Unknown after the Secret Ending. They hold onto the same ideals, the only difference is that there's no more elixir and anger to drive his ideals.

I like seeing how different I can make gray cats by throwing Whis at them; anyways, Spotfur's been on my mind tonight

[sagaduwyrm]

I just rewatched The Winter Soldier for the nth time and it's just such an amazing movie. The perfection of the weapons designed to 'stop threats before they can happen' shooting themselves down because they, and the philosophy they symbolize, are the real threat, and that Captain America, who uses a shield instead of a weapon, leads the charge against them. It messes me up every time.

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…

I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.

Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.

Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.

It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!

i love kid, but he really deserved what he got coming to him. the man has only gotten his bounty as high as it was back in sabaody cuz he was killing innocent civilians, and the fact is he was going to kill more in elbaf if shanks hadnt stopped him.

thinking abt (1) that post abt how most censorship is preemptive self-censorship¹ (2) bras²

⸻ ¹ wow, tumblr search actually worked for once??? ² i do understand and respect that for many people bras serve an actual structural function wrt support/comfort! however, for many other people (hi!) they do not, at least in everyday non-sports contexts, and that's the set of concerns i'm speaking to here.

[paceplace]

it's kind of a shame the devs back in tto never thought to give certain NPCs, particularly the storyline and SOS-relevant ones, special outfits that no one can obtain as a way for them to stand out from the others. i'm pretty sure i've said this before but i've always been fond of the alternative outfits clara, flippy, and professor pete wore in their character trading cards and i think it would've been neat to see how they'd go about making personalized designs for all of them in accordance to their role in the tooniverse/personality/shtick (if applicable).

pretty sure the closest thing the folks over at disney did to give their npc's "uniqueness" aside from their shops was altering flippy's in-game model/making it so that his name can't be something that's accepted by players so people can't make a toon thats an exact replica of him and giving two (2) npc's colored gloves but that's it.

I've finally got around to actually filling in my own response and just a heads up that while they say it only takes like 20 min to complete, if you, like me, have about 8 years worth of shit to complain about, it may take you several hours instead 🙃

Calling all trans, nonbinary, detrans, etc folk who've used adult GIC services in England within the past 5 years/are currently an adult GIC patient! The NHS is having a survey!!

NHS england is having a survey for trans ppl who've used the adult gender services within the past 5 years, be sure to respond before the 19th January 2025!

Here is also transactual's sign post & preparatory comments on it if you wanna look at those

This is a survey done *by the nhs*, they've listened to a decent chunk of the feedback from trans charities (transactual worries abt the remaining questions around detransition and regret, but let's just re-demonstrate how rare it is, like we end up doing anyway in any survey that ever checks about that, while letting detrans folk have their say too @ transactual smh), and this will give us UK-specific, healthcare-specific stats to help with the current trans healthcare crisis we're facing, so MAKE SURE TO FILL IT OUT IF YOU QUALIFY and do so as honestly/sincerely as possible!

This is regardless of nationality, obviously, as we all use the NHS, including non-UK-citizen UK residents like myself. When I say "UK trans folk" I always mean "any trans folk in the UK"
