Pile 1

Tarot Cards- Ace of Cups, 8 of wands, King of swords, page of pentacles, 4 of Pentacles, ace of pentacles

Hello, my dear pile 1. Well for you I see that this specific message is regarding your health or some insecurities regarding your body. For a very long time, you have not been feeling good in your body. Some of you may even be going through some health issues. It has been pretty overwhelming for you to deal with what was coming towards you on the health front. Your spirit guides want you to stop thinking of the worst-case scenarios or look down upon your body in any way possible. Because your thoughts create your reality. But the good thing is that none of the worst-case scenarios that are playing in your head are going to come true. Nothing will come out of this worry but if you don't stop thinking of negative thoughts then you'll develop a pattern that will lead you to manifest worst-case scenarios in other areas of your life. So please, my dear pile 1, stop worrying. Rewire your brain to think of the best-case scenarios. The card here says, “You do not have to think specific positive thoughts about your body, but you have to not think specific negative thoughts. If you could never again think about your body, and instead just think pleasant thoughts, your body would reclaim its natural place of wellness.” I also sense a rigid mindset. Your energy is inflexible. I see two polarities but it's difficult for you to find a common ground between them. The two polarities confuse you. You must learn to accept both worlds and find peace in that acceptance. As much as gray there is in this world, it's equally true that black and white exist too. You need to ground your energy. Your root chakra may be imbalanced. Spend time in nature. Open your heart to the healing energy of the earth. Don't hold onto the idea that your body should be a certain way. You can't afford to do that! Don't think you have so less and hold onto it. There's abundance and soon you'll be shown the way. Give yourself a chance. Don't try to look too much into the way your body is. It is lovely the way it is. Once a doctor said to me, “Your heart is still beating, isn't it? Your lungs are still working perfectly fine, aren't they? That means you have a purpose to fulfill and your story isn't over yet. There's nothing wrong with you. You're perfect the way you are. There's no one else like you. God didn't make the exact same human as you and sent them to this earth in the same family as yours or the same environment as yours. You are unique!” Know that the universe will test you and will see if you've learned your lesson or not. So do not look down upon your body in any way. It's your safe abode. As soon as you let go of the insecurities you'll soon notice your creativity birthing out of your sacral chakra. You'll start expressing more and won't let anybody make you believe otherwise about your body. I also sense new opportunities in terms of healing and career are coming your way so keep your eyes open. Free yourself, free your spirit.

Pile 2

Tarot Cards- The Lovers, King of Pentacles, Eight of Swords, Seven of Cups, Eight of Pentacles, Eight of Cups, Two of Wands

Hello, my dear pile 2. Well, the first thing that I sensed is that some of you may be projectors by human design. Because the card here says, “The entire universe is being affected by what you are offering.” You have this sweet child-like energy but at the same time, you are a wise old soul. You may be seeing a lot of angel numbers, especially 888. I hear, “What comes down must go up.” Your life is about to change pile 2. Your guides want you to know that whatever decisions you are making right now are drastically shaping your future. Many of you are stuck between two decisions and your only way out is to take a balanced approach. There is strong water and fire energy in the cards. Opposing forces but very powerful. Both can cleanse and heal. Some of you are even going through a period of cleansing. A lot of negativity is being released from your life so don't hold onto your past. Your hard work will pay off and soon you'll find the clarity regarding a certain situation you're very confused about. All your long-awaited dreams are soon coming true. Your spirit guides want you to know that all the pain and confusion you went through was part of the plan only to bless you beyond your imagination. Your patience will reap rewards. For some of you, I hear that your patience will bring true love in your life. A time of celebration awaits. No one and nothing can put you down. Nobody will be able to stop you. I hear ‘Unstoppable’ by Sia. Being a projector you took in a lot of negativity from people's aura and now it's time for you to release all of that. It's time for you to come to yourself. Call all your power back that you gave away to others. I sense that some of you are even highly sensitive. You can easily pick up on people's true intentions. Don't underestimate your own power pile 2. You're gifted. Do not undermine your own gifts. The world needs someone like you. And you guys are soon going to receive a big boon and you guys are so intelligent that you will know how to make the best use of it. I sense strong psychic abilities in this pile. You are beyond beautiful, pile 2. I am in awe!!!!!! The only guidance here is to listen to your intuition and to leave the toxicity behind. Be it people or places. Those who can't reciprocate what you have to offer don't DESERVE to be in your life. Period. Protect yourself, you beautiful souls!

Pile 3

Tarot Cards- Page of Cups, 10 of Cups, The Lovers, 7 of Cups, 6 of Swords, Queen of Swords

Hello, my dear pile 3. For most of you, the message has something to do with ‘love’. I am even hearing, “To love, love, yeah. I needed to lose you to love me.” I also sense that fun times are coming for you but it seems that some of you are heartbroken about a situation or relationship that ended in your life. You are looking for closure. You need to make some adjustments in your life because what happened in your life happened to teach a very important karmic lesson. I also hear, “In this world, it's just us. You know it's not the same as it was.” Your card says, “Be easy about all of this. Life is supposed to be fun, you know. We want you to feel love for your life, for the people of your world, and most of all, for yourself. There is great love here for you.” Some of you may be moving places or recently moved to a different place and are feeling disheartened. The card wants you to know that love is everywhere you go. And I don't think that you guys are alone. There's someone still sticking around with you. It's time for you to explore what it truly means to love and feel loved. It doesn't mean that you're supposed to go on multiple dates but experience love in every way possible. Write someone a letter, paint, give someone flowers, or apologize to someone if any apologies are pending. As you embody love soon the romantic love will find you and it will stay with you for a lifetime. You may be tempted to go back to your ex or the person you broke up with. But please don't, especially with the same energy that you sent out previously. Do the right thing. There's no point in writing the same story over and over again. Don't start many things just focus on one thing. You may end up feeling tired or low in confidence at the end of the day as you may end up having high expectations from yourself. It's time for you to write a new story and not repeat the same old patterns. That's why your guides are asking you to make some adjustments in your life. Have fun with your work but don't end up burnt out. Forgive those who have left you and forgive yourself if something didn't work out. It's time to let go. Remember what's meant for you won't pass you by. So take things lightly and hold onto the spark of inspiration that you may get now and then. Keep your heart pure and don't let your love be overcome by any temptations.

Book Review: Breathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health by MeiLan K. Han

Did you know the average person takes over 600 million breaths in their lifetime? Seeing as how respiration is a largely unconscious process that is regulated in the medulla oblongata, one of the most primitive parts of the brain, you probably didn't. The reason for that is because breathing with ease isn't something many people have to think about. It's a vital biological operation that occurs in the background without anyone having to focus on it, so people tend to take the seemingly "effortless" vitality of the lungs for granted as a result. That is...until they experience problems that effect their ability to breathe well themselves and panic. As someone who has lived with moderate asthma for much of my life, and has suffered from both chronic and acute lung exacerbations over the years, I've been there. It sucks. Nobody wants to know what it feels like to choke on air they can't seem to catch. To wheeze. To cough and cough and cough. To have their chest fill with sharp, restrictive fire every time their body encounters another allergen or sneaky little pathogen it doesn't like. No one wants to experience the physiological terrors that are involved in breathing difficulties, no one. Lung problems and disease are a lot more prevalent nationwide than we may know let alone realize, however. On the whole they remain poorly understood. They can be left undiagnosed or unrecognized until the late stages, too. One of the reasons for this is because doctor's offices don't measure lung function regularly like they do blood pressure or heart rate - which seems insane, almost negligent, when you consider that being able to breathe is imperative to staying alive, right? - and also because the money that is invested in lung research isn't proportionate to the number of patients who are living with lung disease. That means there isn't enough data out there yet to tell a cohesive story or pattern about those who already are or someday could be afflicted. There's so much more out there still to be discovered, studied, experimented, and used for treatment. I appreciated how this book provided insight into the importance of lung function, lung diagnostics, and overall lung health. It was informative and absorbing. Easily comprehensible for those of us who are neither medical practitioners nor pulmonologists. The author started off by taking readers through a brief overview of how the lungs work and why. Then she discussed how things like smoking, pollution, vaping, and viruses like influenza or Covid-19 can pose severe respiratory risks. After that, she offered practical suggestions for how to keep the lungs healthy (even if they're diseased) and proposed a kind social intervention that will make the preservation of lung health a priority in medicine. Breathing is vital to life, to living, so really...why isn't it one already? Better yet, how come it hasn't been one long before now? Asthma sufferer or not, I've never stopped to ask myself those questions before reading this book, but I'm asking them now. I'm encouraging you to ask them, too. What more can I say? I'm with Dr. Han, I think it's time we all knew more about the in's and out's of breathing. Thank you to NetGalley and W.W. Norton and Company for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Disease

Character: Xiao

Pronouns: They/them

Post type: Angst

The green haired man opens his eyes to an unfamiliar scenery. He was on the ground, trees covering his surroundings, he can't seem to remember how he got here. Pushing himself up with his arms, he stands up, walking towards the crowd of trees.

While walking through the forest, he finally sees light. The adeptus runs towards it, arriving to see unusual contraptions¹ that he has never seen before. He furrows his eyebrows, 'Where am I? What is this place?' Due to his unusual appearance and clothing, a bystander unsurprisingly notices him. "Excuse me sir, are you perhaps lost?" He turns around, his eyes narrowing, "Who are you?" They're eyes widen, "Oh, sorry! I haven't introduced myself. My name's (F/N)." They smile.

He looks at them suspiciously, ". . . . My name is Xiao." (F/N)'s eyes widen a bit before smiling, "What a nice name! Won't you come with me? It's a bit cold out tonight." They propose. Though the adeptus is cautious, he nods. They giggle, holding out their hand, "Now, let's get you somewhere warm." 

_

After about 2 weeks with Xiao, you decided to try and convince your parents to get him into to your school. Even though you're quite calm most of the time, you were determined to convince them. Your parents sigh before nodding, beaming with excitement, you rush to the guest room. Knocking on the door frantically, Xiao opens it, clearly agitated. "What do you want?" You smile, "Hey hey! You're going to my school now!" 

He furrows his eyebrows, "I don't see the reason for me to go to school." Pushing the door the close it but you caught it with your foot, "C'mon~, it won't be that bad." You say. He rolls his eyes sighing before nodding. Your heart beats with excitement.

_

Xiao's first day in school has finally arrived, wearing different clothes made him itch a bit. He's isn't used to this type of attire.

Looking up at the school, surprised at the size of it. His face made you giggle a bit, "Alright, let's go." They both walk up to the entrance,  you open the door for him. He narrows his eyes a bit before continuing on through the hallway. Immediately, people started noticing him, some observing his face while others looked more shocked. 

'Hey doesn't that guy look like that character in Genshin?'

'Is he a cosplayer or something?'

'I have to take a picture with him!'

'Oh my god, he looks so cute!' 

The whispering got louder and louder, 'Why is everyone staring at me like that?'  Finally arriving to his classroom, you both enter. The sound of the door opening got the attention of everyone, the teacher looked over at the door, "Ah, you must be the new student! I'm Mr. Johnson, I'll be your teacher this school year!"

Xiao looked uneasy and uncomfortable, you quickly pat him on the back before sending him a reassuring smile, quietly telling him "It'll be alright."

"Now, would you mind introducing yourself?" The green haired man nods a bit before saying, "My name is Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Some people in the classroom start whispering to their friends, "Oh my god, no way is it actually him?" "How did he even get here?" They were beaming with excitement.

"Well, nice to meet you Xiao! Why don't you sit next to your friend there. They sit at the corner seat over there." You smile before guiding him to where you're sitting. The teacher quickly quiets the class down before starting the lesson.

_

Xiao unsurprisingly got popular, many people would crowd around him to either talk to him, ask to hang out, or take pictures. He was quickly overwhelmed with the attention but got used to it after a few days. He started gaining friends fast and wasn't able to be with you anymore. Though you are glad he's happy, you can't brush off the feeling in the pit of your stomach. It feels like thorns poking in your chest and throat. You despised it. Not only did it hurt, but it made you feel like throwing up.

Everyday, you miss his conversations with you. Watching from afar with jealousy evident in your eyes. It's the same cycle everyday, people crowding him when you both arrive to the school. He

doesn't even look at you anymore. You feel like a ghost, no one acknowledging your existence, you're basically just. . . there. 

One day, the urge to throw up made you lurch forward, putting a hand on your lips. You stand up quickly before running to the restroom. Kneeling down in front of the toilet, you throw up the, coughing and gagging. You look in the toilet bowl, eyes suddenly going wide. 'Flowers? What the hell-'  Panic quickly flows through your body, 'What is this? Am I gonna die?'  You reach for your phone in your pocket, searching up 'throwing up flowers'. The first result is something called the Hanahaki Disease. The article states that, "Hanahaki disease is a disease where the victim of unrequited or one-sided love begins to vomit or cough up the petals and flowers of a flowering plant growing in their lungs, which will eventually grow large enough to render breathing impossible if left untreated." Your eyes scan through the article again, 'Unrequited or one-sided love?'  You start to panic again, 'I won't be able to breath if this is untreated?'  Your breathing becomes uneven and shaky, your expression suddenly turns into one that's sad, 'Does this mean Xiao. . . doesn't like me back?. . .'

Looking at the article again, you see 'cures for the disease', "Hanahaki can be cured through surgical removal of the plants' roots, but this excision also has the effect of removing the patient's capacity for romantic love. It may also erase the patient's feelings for and memories of the enamoured. It can also be cured by the reciprocation of the victim's feelings. These feelings cannot be feelings of friendship but must be feelings of genuine love."

'I can get them surgically removed, but, what's the point? I'll lose my feelings for him. I don't want to. I like it when my heart thumps whenever he smiles, or whenever he pouts in embarrassment due to a teasing comment from me. I don't.. I don't want these feelings to end.'

The ongoing thought of you losing your feelings for him made you cringe. '

Is it too late?'

_

Throughout a month, the condition only got worse. Throwing up these petals made you feel sick, it feels like God is planning to take your life right then and there. Xiao doesn't even talk to you anymore, you see him in the house sometimes but he's outside most of the time. The disease affected your mental and physical health, you were noticeably skinny and tired. The bags under your eyes proved it. Your parents have tried to talk to you about it but, you refuse to say anything.

The desire to keep feeling love made you like this. Your grades have dropped and now you lost all your friends, they're all too caught up with Xiao. At this point, you gave up on getting help. This whole situation will end when you die. You plan to talk to Xiao once more before you pass.

_

Two months. . .

It's been two months now. . .

The condition worsened greatly. Flower petals littered your room. You looked sickly, almost like a dead body. Well, that's what you're going to be in a couple days. . .

Using all your strength, you lift yourself up. "Need. . to go. . talk to. . Xiao." Right now, Xiao was with his friends. Luckily, you slipped a note in his locker the day before-

Meet me on top of hill tomorrow at 5:30 p.m.

- Sincerely, (F/N)

You had followed him when he opened his locker, he shrugged before stuffing the note into his backpack. You hoped that he would listen to it. If he doesn't show up today, you'll die happily knowing he is happy without you. His happiness is more important than your feelings or life.

You arrived at the hill. Looking at your watch, '5:15. Guess I'm early.'  You sit down on top of it, looking at the sun slowly setting.  

After a few minutes, you hear footsteps. Turning around, you see Xiao, his face neutral and calm. He then sat beside you, "So, what did you need?" He asks. You look back at the sun before smiling, "Have you enjoyed your time here?" Though your throat is aching, you still managed to say something.

He seems confused, "Of course I have. I've never been this

happy. ." Knowing he's happy made you feel relieved. To think that you found him in front of a forest, confused and cautious. It almost made you tear up.

"I'm happy that you are, Xiao."

You both stay silent, "Xiao, before I go, whatever happens after, promise me you'll be happy. I can't stand seeing you with a frown." You say with a raspy voice.

". . .Of course." 

 _

You find yourself laying on a hospital bed. You try to move but your body is too sore. Your ears perked up to muffled talking, "I'm sorry sir, ma'am but the kid is going to be gone soon. The Hanahaki disease already clogged up most of the patients lungs. We can either surgically remove it or-" The doctor was quickly cut off, "Surgically remove it! Please save them! Just remove the damn flowers, please!" You heard your mom scream.

"Ma'am, we have to get the patients consent. Removing the flowers will cause the patients enamored feelings for their-" The doctor was cut off once again, "I don't care anymore! Just please, save my kid!"

The argument was ongoing before you stored up all your strength and spoke, "M-mom. . . I don't want my. . . feelings to go. . . away." Your voice was barely audible, but they heard it. Your mom rushes over to your bed (despite the doctors warnings), "(F/N)! Don't be like that! Your life is more important!"

Tears start welling up your mom's eyes, "Please don't leave us. . ."

You stare at her before smiling, "It's okay mom, besides-" You cough, "It's already. . . too late." Despair was evident in your mothers face.

"Oh and. . . before I go. . . tell Xiao to stay happy. . . and that I love him."

The lights started to go dim, eyes slowly closing before your slow breathing stopped-

Permanently.

Your funeral was held at a nearby cemetery. Your coffin was the color brown, a glass covering the top of it so they could see you. Xiao was there, staring at your face.  When he got the news that you died, his world fell apart. He thought this was just some sick joke, but the body in the coffin proved him wrong. He could faintly see flower petals near your mouth.

Your funeral and seeing your body is what made Xiao cry and scream out in agony and sadness. "No No NO! (F/N) don't leave me!! Please tell me this is a joke please! (F/N)! I love you please don't leave!"

He prayed and prayed that you would wake up. . .

But his prayers weren't heard.

_

One week after your funeral, Xiao's whole demeanor changed. He was a calm boy who would speak only when spoken to. But now, he doesn't speak. He ignores all his friends, he ignores your parents, he ignores everyone. He stays cooped up in your room. Sleeping on your bed and smelling your scent that lingers on it. Oh how he misses talking to you, your bright smile was what made him feel alive.

He was laying on your bed one day (as usual) and for some reason, he felt a bit sick. He brushed it off thinking it would go away in a few hours. But it only got worse.

He rushes to the bathroom then looks at the mirror. He looks terrible, bags under his eyes and skin looking a bit pale. He suddenly lurches forward, coughing and gagging.

He looks down and laughs a bit. Petals, beautiful petals covered in blood.

Looks like he's going to suffer with this disease as well. . .

No one asked for this, but bonus chapter of Orion being well written!

(Takes place some time before part 2)  Part 1

(CW Panic attacks)

“Come on, you’ll love him,” Holly said confidently as she practically dragged Orion through the somewhat winding halls. “You’re practically a Disney princess.”

“I think you are getting the roles here mixed up,” Orion replied. He was struggling to keep up despite his height advantage. He really needed to up the intensity of the workout routine he had started on Artemis’ behalf.

“Whatever. Visiting hours are ending.”

On a rare day off for Holly, she had decided to bring Orion to the Haven Zoological Institute to introduce him to a very particular lemur. The pixie working at the desk recognized them and waved them by without issue, and Holly mercifully slowed down once they had entered the live sanctuary.

Jayjay had his own private enclosure - partly for his safety and that of his species, partly because the researchers were too afraid of a certain maverick LEP officer and a particular genius Mud Boy to give the lemur anything less than luxury. As they approached this enclosure, Orion felt his stomach begin to tighten.

“Princess, are you sure this is a good idea?” he asked, trying to keep his voice light.

“Of course. Jayjay loves you. Well, he loves Artemis. I’m sure he’ll appreciate you, too.” As she began fiddling with the complicated door mechanism, she added mildly, “If you think about it, he’s the reason you exist.” The lock clicked open and Holly motioned for Orion to enter first.

Though the tightness had not gone away, Orion would not dare refuse an invitation from his lady. If his instincts were right, there was some sort of danger amid the broad synthetic leaves, and he would protect her from it. 

“How do you figure?” he asked, partly to keep himself from focusing too much on whatever was worrying him.

Holly made a chittering call that Orion was pretty sure human vocal cords could not replicate. “You’re a result of Artemis’ most recent trauma with Angeline, right?” she said. The leaves above them rustled ominously.

Orion shifted slightly closer to Holly. “Of course.” Something was above them. Something was approaching.

“Well, Angeline got possessed because Opal wanted Jayjay.” She held out her arm towards the trees. “So if it wasn’t for Jayjay, Opal wouldn’t have done what she did, and Artemis wouldn’t have seen it, and you wouldn’t exist.” The wall of foliage beside them burst apart and the lemur in question leapt onto Holly’s arm.

Orion certainly did not squeal, thank you very much, because dashing knights do not squeal. The noise he made was what he would call a surprised gasp. The fact that it was high pitch and perhaps a bit shrill did not make it a squeal.

He stumbled back a few steps as Holly laughed. “Aw, did Jayjay frighten you? Don’t worry, he won’t bite.”

Upon seeing the lemur up close, the knot in his stomach tightened considerably. He wiped his palms on his pants as he tried desperately to catch his breath. Jayjay stared at him curiously, his nose twitching. Part of Orion, an obnoxious, pretentious part of him, knew that lemurs relied on their sense of smell primarily, though they weren’t blind. Orion felt that Jayjay was staring into his soul and finding something he didn’t like.

Jayjay tilted his head a bit, and Orion stepped back again. 

“You alright?” Holly asked, realizing that Orion was more than simply startled.

“I’m not sure,” Orion said. It was hard to speak given that his lungs seemed to not want to draw in sufficient air.

Holly struggled to remember the advice Dr. Argon had given her for helping Artemis and Orion. “Um…Take an inventory of what you’re feeling?” she offered.

Orion forced in another gulp of air. “Difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, um…my st-stomach is in knots, and I think I am afraid? Is this what being afraid is?”

Holly tried to move closer, but Orion stumbled a step back as she did. Jayjay chittered nervously in her ear.

“D’Arvit,” she muttered, backing away from Orion. “It’s Jayjay, isn’t it?” She felt like an idiot. She had just been explaining how Orion’s existence was because of the trauma surrounding the lemur, and now she was seeing the results in action. She spoke to Jayjay with her Gift of Tongues, telling him to go back into the trees, and he complied, hopping off her arm onto a nearby branch and then disappearing into the sanctuary. 

Orion let out a heavy, shaking sigh as the lemur vanished, but his heart did not slow down. “P-princess?” he said weakly.

Holly unceremoniously grabbed his hand. “Come on. We’re getting you out of here,” she said, roughly pulling him out of the enclosure. She didn’t bring him far, just enough that the self-locking door was no longer in view. She pulled him into a small alcove and made him sit down. “I’m pretty sure you’re having a panic attack,” she said plainly.

Orion blinked. “Okay,” he said. “How do--how do I make it stop?”

Holly was still holding his hand. She wanted to let go, wipe away the sweat, but she knew the contact would help ground him. She racked her brain for the information she’d learned in the one mental health awareness seminar she had attended during her training. Idly, she thought that only requiring one lesson on the topic was a terrible industry practice, but she put that aside to deal with later.

“Okay, breathing techniques. Um…Inhale for four, hold for eight, exhale for seven? No, hold for seven. Orion, inhale for four seconds,” she instructed, exaggerating her own breathing as an example. “Hold it for seven seconds,” she continued, “and exhale for eight.”

As he followed along, he shook his head. “Not helping. Hurts my chest, and-and--”

“Alright, we’ll try something else. You’re going to be fine.”

For the next several minutes, Holly guided Orion through the exercises she could remember. Finally, his shoulders slumped, and he let go of her hand.

“Thank you, princess,” he said, his voice a bit raw. “That creature was some sort of glamoured demon attempting to curse me. I am eternally grateful to you for breaking the spell.”

“No, he wasn’t,” Holly said, just a bit sadly. “You’re just traumatized.”

“Oh.” Orion did not look Holly in the eye, instead examining his hands like they were the most interesting thing in the world. “I suppose the good doctor should hear about this.”

“Probably.” She patted him on the shoulder, then stood up with a groan. “Let’s get out of here. You can treat me to some surface ice cream. Sim dairy doesn’t taste the same.”

“Of course. Anything for you, my princess.” He took the hand that she offered so that she could help pull him up. As he dusted off his pants and straightened the sweater he had taken to wearing while in control, he added, “Though I might suggest something else. Aren’t most fairies lactose intolerant?”

Holly rolled her eyes. “You and Artemis both. That hasn’t stopped me before and it won’t stop me now.”

They started to walk out of the sanctuary, arguing back and forth about the merits of frozen confections vs avoiding gastro-intestinal distress. Orion glanced back over his shoulder as they neared the exit. His heart was still beating harshly in his chest, but he could feel his body starting to settle. The knowledge that he could not share in something that was clearly important to both Artemis and Holly was demoralizing, but he would deal with it. That was his purpose, after all.

[Masterlist] Pairing: BTS x reader Friends2Lovers But as slow as you can go until the anticipation kills us all… Genres: friendship, drama, romance SLOWEST OF BURNS BUT IT WILL BE BURNING AN ETERNAL FLAME!!! Rating: PG-13 and above Summary: Your brother works with a few BigHit dance teams and whilst having permission to accompany him at work the city shuts down banning anyone from stepping outside for a whole WEEK while they disinfect the streets. If you step outside you might get arrested, shot or poisoned by the chemicals they are emitting through the city. Words: 1.7k Announcement: This one is a little longer and I didn’t get to explore as much as I wanted with the boys but, I think it will get there. But trust me there will be some talking next chapter. The boys are trying to distract themselves while they are feeling pretty rotten and it isn’t going as well as they hoped.

[Part 1]  [Part 20] [Part 22] [Tag Yourself Here]

Yoongi had been spending his time in the laundry listening to the constant churn of the machines, he moved the clothes from the washing machine to the dryer. Once they were finished he ironed and folded each piece, at some point he even learned how to hand stitch a few holes in items. He couldn’t stand being alone in his studio, which was such a strange notion and he didn’t know what else to do. It seemed the whir of the machines and the constant moving of his hands, gave him enough time to think. That dreaded conversation overlapping in his head again and again. He cried at some point as embarrassing as it was for him to admit but his words so brutal cut even him when he remembered the tone in which they were spoken.

Taehyung was taking his frustration out on the saxophone, he had locked himself in Jungkook’s studio and was playing obnoxiously loud until his lungs felt like they would give out. He was angry and wanted nothing more than to start a fight but he found this tired him out without bringing the conflict to the group. 

Jimin and Hoseok we’re keeping themselves busy online turning themselves out with posts and lives and people kept asking where the others had gone and why they looked so sad but no matter how hard they tried to deny it they knew they were just trying to escape their problems by focusing on the army. 

Each boy was overextending themselves, Namjoon putting himself into his writing and getting thoroughly pissed at the result of his work. He had stayed up through the night something he didn’t really like to do, walking to their dance lesson both on edge and exhausted. 

The boys were practicing their dance routines, not that they had to perform any time soon but with nothing else to do they just kept going over the choreography making sure it was ingrained into their memory. They were partway through the routine when Namjoon turned too quickly his arms held out a fraction further than intended. Smacking Jungkook to the ground. Jungkook felt a pop and he laid there in intense pain, they were worried crowding around.

“Jungkook, I am so sorry, are you okay?” Namjoon asked the younger boy, who was laying on the ground trying to muffle his pain. 

“I’m okay Hyung?” Jungkook spoke through gritted teeth. They tried to help him up despite his yelp and protest. They looked him over trying to examine him for damage when they noticed how his arm was hanging limply from his body.

“It looks worse than it really is” Wincing as he spoke wasn’t exactly convincing them. They contacted their health equivalent within the building who called the hospital for someone to collect him and perform proper care. They didn’t want to damage the shoulder further. 

~

“Please tell me if you feel the urge to push okay, or a stinging sensation” Asking for her clinic book you took pictures sending it to the doctor for him to translate and explain if there were any possible complications. Encouraging her to lean on her couch on her knees, you rubbed her back and helped her breathe through it. 

Her husband’s phone died about four hours in and she was crying for him. “He will be back okay” you assured her, “you are doing so well, this is your special moment between you and your baby.”

“I can’t do it without my husband” she cried “You can do it, you are tough, you are a beautiful powerful woman and you don’t need a man to prove how strong you are, Myunghee you got this okay, can I check to see if you are progressing?”

You asked nervously, she didn’t want to move and you knew it had to be time. Helping her to get into a comfortable position, Myunghee allowed you to check once more, according to the doctor she was ready and the baby was crowning. She had entered the second stage of labour and was ready to push. 

“Okay on your next contraction I want you to try to push, if it doesn’t feel right I want you to stop but pushing should almost feel relieving. When you push remember to breathe okay your baby needs oxygen. I will count for you each contraction you push for ten seconds okay” She nodded and the next contraction came and she started to push. 

“Breathe out two three four five in seven eight nine ten, okay how did that feel,” you said she nodded pushing continued for twenty minutes and Baby’s head was almost out “okay I need to check that the chord isn’t around the baby's neck so if I tell you to stop pushing, you have to stop, it will be hard but think about your baby okay at that moment think about how strong you are okay”

She nodded pushing again and you told her to stop, she did her body shaking as she cried out. “The cord is around the baby’s neck, let me move it okay”

You unraveled the cord while she was whimpering in pain. “Okay next push and I think your baby will be out. So big push okay use all your muscles okay” she nodded and you had moved everything you had sterilized in hot water. You didn’t have to wait long but you took a deep breath and got ready.

The baby came out and you caught it in a towel using a sterilized turkey baster to suction any fluid from the nose and the baby cried instantly. Taking the clamps from the bag and clamping the umbilical cord either side to be safe you cut it. In the middle, you wiped the baby down and smiled “it’s a little girl” you grinned and she held her baby in her arms. She began breastfeeding and you did a quick amount of research on breastfeeding and gave her some tips. 

You relayed the tips and she seemed grateful for the help, you waited to help her deliver the afterbirth and checked that it was completely whole and you smiled helping her into the shower and getting dressed. She laid on the bed and you handed the baby over. 

“I will stay and watch over you both until the other doctor comes” you measured and weighed the baby. You prepared some food for Myunghee and checked she was okay every few hours and you smiled telling the father his wife was sleeping and showed him his daughter telling him how much she weighed and how tall she was and the time she was born. 

He was ecstatic, “I will get her to call you the moment she wakes up” he continued to thank you. She woke later to the baby’s cries and you smiled. “How are you feeling, your so tough, your daughter will definitely be proud of her mother”

Myunghee smiled “I couldn’t have done it without you, you were really amazing you made me feel safe” “Yes you could have done it on your own, you got a call while you were asleep, I told him everything went well and you were both resting, tell him about how good you were”

She smiled talking on the phone with her husband and showing off their daughter, the walkie talkie went off. You moved away from her to answer, “this is Y/N. Miss Bu Myunghee has successfully given birth to a baby girl weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces and 48 centimeters long, both mother and baby seem quite well and are being monitored, there was no tearing or major bleeding from mother and baby is eating well. I can stay until the doctor comes out?”

“That would be ideal, please keep on the lookout for any signs of regression” they explained what to look out for and you nodded heading back inside.  “Come here” Myunghee beckoned and you rushed over alarmed.  “Is something wrong?”

“Miss we would like you to be our baby’s godmother,” the father asked in English and you looked shocked.  “Really?” You searched their expressions, they smiled nodding back.  “If you want to, you have done so much for is already” “I would love to, what is her name?”

“Choonhee, it means born in spring” “Little Choonhee, you are so cute” “Would you like to hold her?” You held your arm out and gently took the baby and smiled she was so small and your heart warmed with a feeling you thought lost, you tilted your head back crying”

Everything you said to Myunghee, about being strong and tough and that she didn’t need a man that all stemmed from you, that was your subconscious talking to you. You smiled wiping your eyes with your clean sleeve. You felt like you were rebuilding like an epiphany began that this was the pivotal moment. You had been tossing around back and forth your self worth about being nothing and something and it not mattering but now you were sure you were worth it, you always were in the ups and the downs you were worth it”

It took guiding someone else through there fears and suffering to realise you weren’t lacking anything.

~

“We will try to send someone over as soon as possible, Please ice the wound and call back if the situation changes or the issue worsens” The doctor from the clinic hung up feeling light-headed, he turned to the receptionist with a pale face. Staring at her while he dialed your number. 

“What seems to be the problem?” Your voice coming through the phone seems to have more color than he had heard in a long time” “We got a call, for a possible dislocation, there is too much swelling to re-position the joint safely but the problem is, it’s from that building”

“Which building?” “BigHit”  “Oh ok, I will head over, do you know who got hurt?” he blinked, surprised you didn’t completely collapse in on yourself at the mere mention of the company they came from.  “I think it was Jeon Jungkook”

“I will be around as soon as I can, will Myunghee be okay alone here, after just having a baby?” “You have been reporting her and her baby are in excellent condition and the ambulance will be collecting her and her child the moment the sun is out. I will notify the husband to call if anything seems to have gone wrong”  “Okay I will let her know and then I will head straight over”

You should do that thing you just reblogged for Taylor & Audrey? Or maybe Gabe & Ezra? Either would be fantastic 😍😍❤❤

Hi, just so you know I was so excited to get this, anon, thank you??? I was actually thinking that this would work for Gabe and Ezra and I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants it omg.  Sorry this took me so long, but I hope you like it! (Min-ah belongs to @robbiefischer, they were just kind enough to let me borrow her

“Ezra, I just had this, and it’s miserable,” Gabe says, one hand on Ezra’s forehead and the other on the back of his neck as Ezra types lesson plans on his laptop.  

“I’m fine, I’m barely even sick, this is the worst it’s going to get,” he rasps, and clears his throat with a grimace before adding a weak, “probably.”

“You’re going to get worse if you don’t stop and rest, love,” Gabe frowns.  “Call out tomorrow.  I’m off, we can spend the day together, and you can sleep and catch up on everything. Mondays suck without a shitty cold.”

“I can’t,” Ezra snaps, twisting away from him. “Stop worrying. I have a cold. You’re a doctor, you see way worse than this all the time.”

“Okay, but you know that if you don’t take it easy, you’ll wind up with strep or tonsillitis or something. You already sound way worse than I did.”

Ezra muffles a coughing fit into the crook of his elbow, and when it finally passes, he winces and presses a fist to the center of his chest.

“I appreciate your concern, but i also have too much to do to deal with this right now.”

Ezra’s tone is edging upwards, something that only happens when he’s stressed the hell out, and Gabe runs his fingers through Ezra’s hair.  

“Sorry. What do you all have to do? Maybe I can help?”

“Um,” Ezra croaks, tugging on his hair in frustration. “I have to write three tests, make the study guides for those, grade five classes worth of assignments, and come up with the presentation schedules, which should have been done Friday….”

“Shit, that’s a lot.”

“I know…I’m usually way more prepared than this.”

“That’s probably my fault,” Gabe winces.

Ezra’s head snaps up, “what? No it isn’t, you were sick.”

“What can I help you with?”

“I don’t know,” Ezra groans, pressing his forehead to the table.

“Have you made the presentation schedules yet?”

“No.”

“I can do that, give me the names.”

“You don’t mind?”

Gabe shakes his head, “give me the list.”

“Okay,” Ezra says, bending down to grab his folder off the floor. “I have two health classes, three psych classes and I wrote all the groups out by class, but I haven’t organized them or anything.  Presentations are Monday-Thursday, three groups a day.  Go crazy.”  

The moment he’s sitting upright, his vision swims around him, and he rests his head in his folded arms with a groan.  

“Are you alright?”

“Dizzy,” Ezra mutters.  “I’m fine.”

“Dizzy is not fine, Ezra,” Gabe snaps.  

“Yes it is. I’m fine, I just changed positions too fast.”

Gabe purses his lips, “okay. When do you have to have the tests written by?”

“Um,” he rasps, rubbing his forehead. “Soon so I can make the study guide. Wednesday by the latest.”

“Want me to stop by during your free period tomorrow and I can help you?”

“I’ve been snapping at you all night,” Ezra groans, rubbing his eyes sleepily.  “Why would you want to spend more time with me than you have to?”

“Because you’re my husband, and I love you, and I know you’re only grumpy because you’re not feeling good and need to sleep,” Gabe frowns, cupping his cheek.

“Yeah,” he mumbles. “I only have two more weeks. I can make it two more weeks.”

Gabe manages to talk Ezra into taking Tuesday and Wednesday off that upcoming week, but instead of spending those days on the couch, underneath a blanket and watching Netflix, he spends them at the table, blanket around his shoulders as he coughs his way through everything he has to do.  

That weekend, Gabe convinces Ezra to just relax, and it seems like two days of rest is enough to get him feeling human enough to get through his last week, and by the time Friday rolls around, he’s exhausted and even though he feels better than the previous week, he’s beyond ready for a break.  He still has to grade the tests and input grades into his grade book, and just the thought of doing any of that is enough to make him want to cry.

Gabe is off the next two days, and had offered to take Ezra to and from work, and when Ezra gets into the car, he visibly deflates.

“Congratulations! You’re done!”

“Not yet, I still have to input grades,” Ezra groans, rubbing his forehead.

“Is everything all graded, or do you still have more to do?”

“No,” he mumbles.  “The tests aren’t.”

“When are grades due?”

“Monday morning at eleven.”

“Okay, so we’ll spend tonight and tomorrow morning relaxing, and then I’ll help you get everything done.”

“That sounds nice,” Ezra breathes.

“Yeah it does.  How are you feeling? You’re pale again.”

“Not great, honestly.  But not awful, I’ll live.”

“That’s good,” Gabe grins. “You probably just need one more day to rest.”

“God, I hope so.”

*

It’s Saturday morning, and even though he wakes up before Ezra at nine, he opts to let him sleep for as long as possible. When he’s not up by noon, Gabe walks into their room to check on him, and then stops dead in his tracks when he sees Ezra cocooned in their blanket, shivering so violently that his teeth are chattering.

He’s pale and clammy, his cheeks are flushed a deep red and his eyes (which are glassy from fever) have dark smudges underneath them.  

“Shit,” Gabe hisses, double-timing it over to him, and he puts his hand on Ezra’s forehead.  “Ezra, talk to me.  What’s the matter?”

Ezra opens his mouth to say something, but he’s immediately cut off by a deep, chesty coughing fit, and Gabe can actually hear his lungs crackling.  

“Ow,” he croaks.  

“Can you get up?” Gabe says urgently. “I think you might have pneumonia…it’s time for an emergency room trip.”

He’s fuzzy and out of it, and it takes Gabe much longer to get him to the car than it should.  He’s lightheaded from how incessantly he’s coughing now, and if Gabe didn’t have a hold on him, Ezra would have fallen over by now.

“No hospital,” Ezra gasps, wincing as he rubs his chest. “Don’t wanna stay.”

“I don’t think that’s up to you, love,” Gabe says, glancing at Ezra as he pulls out of the driveway.

“Yes. I’ll leave.”

“You are not leaving against medical fucking advice. Absolutely fucking not.”

Ezra shoots him a glare as he coughs into the crook of his elbow.

“I’m serious.”

“So am I. I’ll do my best to convince whoever sees you to let me take you home, but I’m not promising anything because whatever the hell kind of temp you’re running looks miserable.”

*

“Min-ah, he doesn’t want to stay.”

She raises a brow at him, “can you blame him? I wouldn’t either.”

“Let me take him home.”

“He has pneumonia,” she says flatly. “His temp is still above one oh four. You’re not taking him home.”

Gabe rolls his eyes, “yeah I know all that. I meant after we get it down.”

“You’re a doctor. You know he needs to stay in the hospital.”

“You’re right, I am a doctor, and you know just as well as I do that he’ll be fine with me, and you know I’ll keep a close fucking eye on him.”

They stare each other down for a few minutes before she sighs in relief, “fine. But I have some conditions.”

“Okay.”

“You bring him right in if his fever gets back up to one hundred and four, or if he gets confused or disoriented at all, or if he gets short of breath or has chest pain. You will make sure he drinks water every single hour, and if I see you in the hospital in the next couple of days for any reason other than bringing him back in, I’m going to kill you myself because you need to be at home with him.”

“Deal.”

“I’m admitting him and keeping him for a few hours for observation,” she grumbles. “You can’t talk me out of that.”

“Well yeah, I’m not letting him leave until his fever is down and his sats are up.”

Gabe goes back over to where Ezra is lying, half asleep and coughing so badly that Gabe winces in sympathy and strokes his burning cheek.

“I wanna go home,” he croaks, tears gathering in the corners of his eyes.

“I know,” Gabe says softly, stroking his cheek. “Not yet though. You just have to stay long enough for your oxygen sats to go up and your temp to go down.”

“I’m fine.”

“You have pneumonia, sweetheart. You’re so, so sick, you aren’t fine.”

Ezra groans, rubbing his eyes. “I feel better.”

“You’re lying.”

“My fever is down!” he protests weakly through a coughing fit.

“103 is still not great.”

“But-“

“I’m pulling the doctor card. You aren’t leaving until it gets down to 101.”

*

It takes most of the night and well into the morning for Ezra to be stable enough that he can leave, and when he is, Gabe helps him change out of the hospital gown and back into his clothes, and then into a wheelchair.

He’s still pale and shaky and glassy-eyed, and just looks all around miserable…and Gabe hates it.

“Ready?” Gabe asks, helping him into the car.

“I was ready when i got here,” Ezra gripes, crossing his arms.

“Stop pouting. You were too sick to leave last night, I know you wanted to, but it wasn’t happening.”

“Can we just leave?” He rasps.  “Please? I want to go lie down.”

“Of course,” Gabe says, leaning down to kiss his cheek.  “Do you want me to stop and get you some mac n cheese from Panera?”

“No,” Ezra mumbles.  “Well…can you drop me off and then go get it? I know it’s out of the way, but that sounds good….”

“Ezra, I got you sick and now you have pneumonia,” Gabe says firmly. “You can have whatever you want.  I would cut off my left arm if you wanted me to.”

A smile tugs at his lips, “that’s a little bit dramatic, don’t you think?”

Gabe chuckles lightly, “Maybe a little. Point is, you can have anything.”

“Okay,” he mumbles, rubbing his eyes.  “I just want bed…and mac n cheese.”

“That can definitely be arranged.”

Figure Skating Injuries 101

Hi, there! I’m Andie and I’m here to talk about skating injuries with you.

After nearly a year seeing both writers and artists in the Yuri on Ice fandom portraying figure skating injuries the wrong way I’ve decided to write this quick guide to explain why scenes like these are not a result of skating:

I’m an artistic roller skater on the intermediate level, I’ve been skating for a year now and won gold in Seniors (Intemediate Level) in the local internal artistic roller skating championship. I’ve ice skated a couple of times before but I’ve never taken proper classes since there’s no ice rink in my city. 

While I’m talking about ways to treat most common accidents I am by no means a specialist on the matter. If you hurt yourself skating you should tell your coach and, in serious cases, go to a hospital to have your injuries properly treated.

If you have any questions regarding this topic I’ll be more than happy to help!

Most serious injuries happen outside of the rinks. All skaters I know have broken limbs while doing things completely unrelated to skating. That’s because one of the first lessons skaters learn when they begin is how to fall in order not to hurt themselves (too much, at least). 

When skating, your instinct is to keep your head as far from the floor/ice as possible, hence why a skater learns to fall on their knees/butt and hands. It takes some time, but after a couple of accident your body learns (the hard way) how to fall properly and you leave with maybe a bruise or two.

The best way to avoid serious injuries is to take time to properly warm-up off and on skates, not overpractice and, if possible, always practice under the supervision of a coach or instructor. Proper and suitable equipment is of extreme importance to your health and comfort! 

Next, I’m going to share some injuries experiences from me and my fellow rink mates. 

COMMON INJURIES IN FIGURE SKATING:

Impact pain. This is not really an injury, but if you fall too hard you will get sore (and if you do jumps after a bad fall that pain will bother you quite a bit). It can happen anywhere though your butt is the most likely place to get sore without actual bruises. 

How to treat: REST. Seriously. Don’t exercise for the day and take some Advil.  How long does it take to heal? A couple of days, no more than that. Worst case scenario: You broke something. If the pain is too severe, you should go to a hospital as soon as possible.

Muscle strains are a part of skating. Legs and groin are the most common places to strain since it’s where a skater focuses their strength when jumping. In rare cases those can result in muscle tears, requiring specific treatment.

How to treat: Rest and painkillers do the trick if your case is not serious. Hot water bags are very useful to help the pain go away. How long does it take to heal? Depending on the strain it can take a full week to recover, but usually it takes no longer than three days.  Worst case scenario: You tore a muscle. You’ll probably need physiotherapy. 

Bruises. Every figure skater has at least one at all times and they usually don’t go more than a week without a new bruise. Of all injuries, bruises are the most insignificant, though they’ll look worse than they feel in most cases. 

Common places for bruises: hips (most painful), knees, thighs, and butt (least painful). How to treat: There are creams that help treat and reduce bruises. Hot water bags will be your best friend. How long does it take to heal? About a week, though the larger the bruise, the longer it takes to heal (my worst bruise took about 4 months to fully disappear). Worst case scenario: You get a bone bruise. This happens when you manage to hit your bone through all the skin, fat and muscle. If this is the case (like, your bruise is getting a nice, fancy shade of purple and growing bizarrely hot) you should probably go to a hospital. 

Wrist injuries, especially spraining, happen quite often. Skaters instinctively put out their arms to brace themselves for the impact so they don’t dive head-first, which sometimes can result in an awkward impact on the wrists. Wrist injuries can range from a mild sprain (some pain, possibly a bruise and some weird clicking noises as you try to move it) to a fracture (and if that’s the case you will know). 

How to treat: Ice and rest. Don’t practice for at least a couple of days and take painkillers.  How long does it take to heal? I’d say four days if you haven’t broken it. You should be moving your wrist just fine in a couple of days. Worst case scenario: Ligament tear, fracture. 

Knee injuries and contusions. More often than not, knee injuries are minor, though they always need to be treated carefully. They can be a result of a simple, awkward fall as well as from repetitive impact. A hard blow can seriously injure a skater’s kneecap. The twisting force used for jumps and spins can also put a lot of stress on the knees if the skater is not using appropriate techniques. 

How to treat: If it’s just pain, avoiding exercising.  How long does it take to heal? Up to three days. If it persists, see a doctor and talk to your coach about it.  Worst case scenario: Ligament tears, injuries to the meniscus.

Hip contusions are definitely painful but the least of a skater’s problems. They can happen from repetitive impact, awkward falls and even incorrect posture.

How to treat: Rest and painkillers. How long does it take to heal? If it’s a minor case, less than a week.  Worst case scenario: An acute injury that would require surgery. 

Ankle sprains usually happen during off skates warm-ups, especially when training jumps. As a skater, your right ankle (your landing ankle) is doomed to be fucked.

How to treat: Ice and rest. Avoid walking, if possible. How long does it take to heal: Less than a week. Worst case scenario: Fracture or ligament tear.

Back pain happens when a skater puts a lot of stress on their back, sometimes form figures, sometimes form inadequate posture. Biellmanns are gorgeous, but they have a price.

How to treat: Rest is your best option. In case of chronic back pain from skating, you should see a doctor. How long does it take to heal: Three days, usually. Worst case scenario: Stress fracture, lumbar disc injury, slippage of a backbone.

NOT SO COMMON INJURIES (some are kinda scary):

Elbow injuries. If a skater falls on their elbow it’s usually because they didn’t have enough time to put out their arms and brace for impact. All the impact goes straight to the bone, basically. It hurts like a bitch. Elbow injuries can also happen when a skater falls really hard on their hands. 

How to treat: When I fell on my elbow I iced it a lot.  How long does it take to heal? It took me a week and I couldn’t stretch my arm properly for the first two days.  Worst case scenario: Exposed fracture. Congratulations.

Chest impact is a very serious thing. You can break a rib, puncture your lung, bite your tongue, break a tooth, raw your nipples, all that jazz. I once failed the entrance for an axel and didn’t have time to process I was falling and I ended up diving chest first on the floor right in front of my instructor.  It pushes your air out of your lungs. It’s really scary.

How to treat: Stop skating and rest. If you can’t breathe, go to an emergency immediately. How long does it take to heal? Chest impact often spreads the pain to your back, as if it wasn’t bad enough as it is. In that case, I’d say it takes about a week to disappear. Worst case scenario: Lung puncture, rib fracture, internal organ damage.

Head impact is also another serious injury that requires immediate action. Your instinct is to always avoid hitting head-first on the floor, so when you hit your head on the floor is terrifying. On worst case scenarios, concussions may happen, and so a skater should be hurried to a hospital. I haven’t witnessed it happening, but one of my friends hit her head while doing a double flip and had to go to the hospital (nothing serious happened but honestly, be careful). 

How to treat: If it wasn’t anything serious, ice and painkillers will help soothe the pain. It can be very uncomfortable to sleep. How long does it take to heal? No idea, buddy.  Worst case scenario: You die.

So now that we have all of that out of the way I’m going to explain why blisters, cuts, and bruises on your feet are not a result of skating.  

Like previously mentioned in this post, proper equipment for skating is one of the most important things a skater needs in order to train effectively. The main equipment is, with no doubt, figure skating boots. Skating boots the support system, and a proper fit helps prevent injuries as well as improve performance.

Blisters form when boots don't fit properly. When a skater wears boots a size too small or socks that are too thick for skating, blisters can appear. Professional skaters, especially competitive skaters will never wear a boot that has not been properly fit for skating, let alone if they’re uncomfortable (honestly, try doing a waltz jump with boots one size too small for you). 

On the other hand, boots that are too large cause problems as well. Skaters try to compensate the extra room by lacing boots too tightly (cutting circulation), clenching their toes (causing foot cramps) and even using space fillers that keeps weight too far forward over skates during advanced maneuvers, which can possibly lead to lace bite. (source)

So if you are writing a skater getting blisters from skating on a regular basis you might want to check that. Unless they’re breaking new boots, using borrowed skates or wearing bad socks, it’s most likely that they’re not getting blisters on their feet. 

And cuts and bruises? From skating? I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re definitely doing something wrong. That just doesn’t happen. 

Let me share a personal story: I performed my exhibition with a broken toenail (I kicked a chair by accident a day before my competition lmao) and I felt nothing. Skating boots, when properly fit, are as comfortable as flip-flops. Again, you might want to rethink that if you’ve been writing/drawing cuts and bruises.

The most serious problem that affects me and all skaters I know are smelly boots and the occasional callous. But nothing like blisters/cuts/bruises.

But what, then, caused Yuuri to have those nasty cuts that bled through his socks?

Ballet.

Yuuri does ballet, guys. Ballet is famous for wrecking your feet. Those nasty bruises are not from skating but from dancing. Friction inside his boots from landing jumps might have led his injuries to bleed, but they were most definitely not the cause of those.

Dancers’ feet are nasty. Especially ballet dancers’ feet. If you only skate chances are you’ll never get injuries on your feet as long as you’re wearing an appropriate boot size. If you want to write a dramatic scene with Yuuri, or Victor, or Yuri crying about how their feet hurt, you might want to do so after a ballet session. 

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

In case you want to read more about boot-related injuries Edea Skates sponsors a research on foot injuries caused by wearing wrong sized boots. I also found this master’s research on figure skating boots and impact from jumps. I could go on but if you want more readings please feel free to contact me!

What Experts Say About Learning to Breathe Again After COVID

From：https://www.verywellhealth.com/breathing-exercises-post-covid-5192842

Key Takeaways

The lungs are not muscles and cannot be "exercised," but there are ways to strengthen your lungs' support systems if they have been weakened by COVID-19.

Many exercises that work the diaphragm and surrounding muscles can be done at home.

If you had severe COVID-19, you might need to work with a respiratory therapist to rebuild your lung function safely.

Being able to take a deep breath is something that many of us take for granted, but like the millions of people who have survived COVID-19 are finding out, it can be hard to breathe easy after a severe respiratory infection.

Verywell spoke to experts in lung health about what it may take for recovered COVID patients to regain respiratory fitness after having the virus.

Can the Lungs Be Exercised?

MeiLan K. Han, MD, a professor of medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan, and the author of "Breathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health," tells Verywell that the amount of lung strength that COVID patients can recover depends on the severity of their infection.

One common misconception is that the lungs themselves can be exercised. In fact, Han says that the lungs are not muscles and therefore cannot be strengthened.

"The lungs are literally balloons that exchange gas," says Han. "What allows the lungs to open is the diaphragm, which sits underneath the lungs. When it contracts, the lungs are pulled down and they expand and the air rushes in."

In addition to the diaphragm, secondary muscles connected to the rib cage, as well as those in the shoulders and back, help the chest cavity expand to allow air into the lungs. In patients that are extremely ill, those muscles are weakened from lack of use. Muscle weakness, in turn, can directly affect lung capacity.

The Problem of Lung Scarring

When patients have COVID-19, they may contract a form of pneumonia which brings on severe inflammation and lung damage. In the most extreme cases—where patients have needed to be put on a ventilator—some have developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This condition shows up as scarring in the lungs.1

A pulmonary function test can reveal the extent of lung damage, but cannot always discriminate between damage that is repairable versus scar tissue. Han says that there is not much that can be done to repair scarring.

Also, many doctors are finding blood clots in the lungs of patients post-COVID, which are typically treated with blood thinners.

What Can You Do?

For people with significant lung damage, Han says that working with a respiratory therapist is advisable. After completing the breathing tests to get a baseline, therapists can start patients on a series of exercises to build the accessory respiratory muscles over the course of four to six weeks.

Regardless of the severity of COVID-19 infection, many people are now looking for ways to lessen the effects of major lung injuries such as shortness of breath.

During the height of the pandemic, Han points out that many people started checking their blood oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter, which can give them an idea of whether it’s safe for them to start working toward normal health goals again.

"If you really want to double-check, using a pulse oximeter at home is a great tool," says Han. "If you're in the 95–99% range, it's fairly safe to assume that you can try to build your fitness levels back to normal."

Beyond specific exercises, Han suggests people start with sustained aerobic exercises at a lower intensity, such as walking or cycling. When those exercises can be completed without struggle for a few weeks, they can increase the intensity incrementally until they've reached normal intensity levels.

Building Lung Strength at Home

Ethel Frese, PT, DPT, and spokesperson for the American Physical Therapy Association, specializes in cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy.

Frese recommends three exercises that can help you locate and target the muscles that support lung function. However, Frese advises working with a physical therapist who will show you how to properly practice these exercises at home.

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises

To begin, locate and focus on your thoracic diaphragm (the large muscle wall that separates your thoracic cavity from your abdomen). Strengthening your diaphragm is one of the best ways that you can support your lung function.

Sniffing

Place your fingers just below your breast bone and sniff several times. The movement that you feel is your diaphragm working.

Breathe out slowly between each sniff. Progress this exercise by gradually prolonging the sniff and breathing out slowly through your mouth between each sniff.

Diaphragm Isolation

Sit in a comfortable position. Place your dominant hand over your upper abdominal area just below the breast bone. Place your non-dominant hand on the middle area of your breastbone.

Breathe in through your nose and direct the air so that your dominant hand rises during inhalation. There should be very little movement of your non-dominant hand.

Breathe out through your mouth after each breath that you take in.

Focus on the Lower Ribs

An additional exercise that you can do is to place your hands over the lower front/side of your rib cage to focus on lower rib movement on both sides.

Next, move your hands up and to the middle part of your chest to focus on the muscles there. Keep your shoulders relaxed.

Pursed-Lip Breathing Exercise

Pursed-lip breathing helps slow your breathing and increases the amount of air that you breathe out, which can help decrease the feeling of breathlessness.

Breathe in slowly and gently purse your lips while you breathe out. Do not force the air out.

Try breathing out while holding a tissue in front of your mouth and have the tissue move slightly to provide a helpful visual.

Start by practicing pursed-lip breathing at rest. Then, progress to doing pursed-lip breathing while you're standing and doing activities such as walking.

Inspiratory Muscle Training

The inspiratory muscles are the muscles that the body uses to take a breath in. These muscles can be trained using inspiratory muscle strength and endurance training devices.2

These devices help improve both strength and endurance of the muscles that we use for breathing in. They are usually used for 15 minutes two times a day.

A physical therapist can help you find the best device for you and show you the correct way to use it.

What This Means For You

Lung health after a severe respiratory infection like COVID-19 can take time to restore. For those with severe infections, working with a physical or respiratory therapist may help.

If you had a milder infection, targeting the muscles that support your lungs is a great place to start and these exercises can be done at home.Your digital breathing coach OPUMP can help you to effectively complete the breathing training course, providing a variety of breathing training courses, including enhancing lung capacity, enhancing lung function, training breathing rhythm, helping to restore lung damage and breathing health.

INFLAMMATORY, THROMBOTIC, HYPOXIC PHASE (progressive respiratory distress, fever is higher and persistent) From the 6th day of some illness Our patients begin to get complicated, due to an excessive production of cytokines by the macrophage, which damages the alveolocapillary membrane, and produces respiratory difficulties, and there is also microthrombosis and hypoxia due to interference with the transport of oxygen by the red blood cells. Continue consuming onion, garlic, pineapple, kiwi and aloe in the morning, afternoon and evening until completing the 14 days, adding 40 mg of methylprednisolone every 12 hours due to the cytokine storm and aspirin as an antithrombotic. Go to the hospital as soon as possible. In this second phase, only medicate if you can not access care Eucalyptus This plant stimulates the proper functioning of the immune system and is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant against viral and bacterial processes, making it highly recommended to relieve colds and other respiratory conditions. In addition, it helps to decongest the lungs due to its expectorant, calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Another property attributed to eucalyptus is that it is hypoglycemic, since it reduces blood sugar levels. For this reason, on occasions and under medical supervision, it is used as an adjunct in antidiabetic treatment. Diabetes is one of the diseases that increase the body's vulnerability when suffering from coronavirus. The most frequent use of this medicinal plant is through inhalations. For this, several chopped leaves are placed in a container with boiling water. The towel-covered head is brought closer to make the most of the steam that comes out of the container.

LAST MINUTE INTERNATIONAL ECUADOR IN ECUADOR THE CURE FOR CORONAVIRUSES WAS FINALLY The Ecuadorian doctors, led by Dr. Jacinto Pichamaluco, disobeyed the world law of Health WHO, not to do autopsies on the dead of the Coronavirus and they found that it is NOT a VIRUS but a BACTERIA that produces death. This causes clots to form in the blood and causes the death of the patient. Ecuador defeats the so-called Covid-19, which is nothing other than "Disseminated intravascular coagulation" (thrombosis). And the way to combat it, that is, its cure, is with the "antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants". ASPIRIN, which indicates that this disease had been treated poorly. This sensational news for the world has been produced by Ecuadorian doctors when carrying out autopsies on corpses produced by Covid-19. Something more, according to Ecuadorian pathologists. "The ventilators were never needed, nor the intensive care unit." Therefore, in Ecuador, the change in protocols began. ECUADOR REVEALED AND LIFTED THE CALL global pandemic by the WHO, this cure and the Chinese knew it and they did not report FOR DOING BUSINESS Source: Ministry of Health of ECUADOR. SHARE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND MURDERED BY OUR ELDERLY PEOPLE !!! @ Ecuadorrevelacurardelcovid19 EYE ALERT Transmit this to all your family, neighborhood, acquaintances, friends, colleagues, coworkers ... etc. etc ... and its environment in general ...: If they get to contract the Covid-19 ... which is not a Virus as they have made us believe, but a bacterium ... amplified with 5G electromagnetic radiation that also produces inflammation and hypoxia. They are going to do the following: They are going to take 100mg Aspirin and Apronax or Paracetamol ... Why? ... because it has been shown that what Covid-19 does is to clot the blood, causing the person to get a picture of thrombosis and the blood does not flow and does not oxygenate the heart and lungs and the person dies quickly because they cannot breathe.

In Ecuador they screwed up the WHO protocol and performed an autopsy on a corpse that died from Covid-19 ... they cut off the body, opened the arms, legs and other sections of the body and realized that the veins were dilated and clotted blood, all veins and arteries filled with thrombi, preventing the blood from flowing normally and carrying oxygen to all organs, mainly the brain, heart and lungs, and the patient ends up dying, Already knowing this diagnosis, the Italian Ministry of Health immediately changed the Covid-19 treatment protocols ... and began to administer to their positive patients Aspirin 100mg and Apronax ..., result: the patients began to recover and present improvements and the Ministry of Health released and sent home more than 14,000 patients in a single day. URGENT: transmit this information and make it viral, here in our country they have lied to us, with this pandemic, the only thing that our president comes out to say every day is data and statistics but not giving this information to save citizens, will be that It will also be threatened by the elites? ... we do not know, suddenly all the governments of the world, but Italy broke the norm ... because they were already overwhelmed and in serious chaos of daily deaths ..., now the WHO. ..would be sued worldwide 🌏for covering up so many deaths and the collapse of the economies of many countries in the world ... now it is understood why the order to INCINERATE or immediately bury the bodies without autopsy ... and labeled them as highly polluting. .. It is in our hands to carry the truth and hope to save many lives .... SPREAD IN ALL NETWORKS URGENT !!!!! that's why the antibacterial gel works and the chlorine dioxide ... The whole PANDEMIC is because they want to vaccinate and they will sting to assassinate the masses to control them and reduce the World Population. GOD SAVE US - I feel blessed.
