Polyphemus Styx is the worst demigod alive 😭 Hades & Medusa did not raise him like this.
This was before the cursed GCs changed him, Claude Frollo became a SAILOR after this they ruined him pfft.

#tbd#probably#i'm really sad#my brother's wife was pregnant but had to have an emergency c-section on the 13th#apparently there was something to do with a viral infection that doesn't really affect kids or adults but was really bad for the baby#(I'm guessing cmv from the searches I did but I haven't asked for details)#my sister in law is okay but the baby boy is really sick... he was six weeks early on top of the infection#he's been in the nicu with really limited visitors... it was just my sister in law for a while#but the staff there are prepping my brother and sister in law that they will probably be needing to take him off of life support soon#and I wish I still lived back home even if I couldn't do anything and I'm hurting so much for them and it's so awful and sad#and I know that it's random but it's awful and terrible

I hate to bombard you with another ask but I need to get it out before I forget it.
Ok so you know how in old monarchies people used to crowd in and make a big deal about the queen giving birth, and how in medieval times there were all kinds of different garments and charms and superstitious practices around royal births?
What if there were a birth ritual wherein the prime mover must give birth in front of the entire church, especially the upper clergy members, and the papa(s) deliver the baby with the guidance of an esteemed abbey midwife? IMAGINE THE BOYS FIGHTING OVER WHO GETS TO ACTUALLY DELIVER THE BABY(s) AND WHO GETS TO CUT THE CHORD(s)!!
THIS IS GOING ON THE LIST OF AUs BECAUSE ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS TO ME.
JUST PICTURING THEM TRYING TO SHOVE THE OTHER OUT OF THE WAY LIKE NO I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO DO IT AND THEN BOOM ANOTHE BABY AND THE ONE WHO THOUGHT HE COULDN'T CUT THE CORD LOOKS VICTORIOUSLY AT THE OTHER ONE AND FLIPS HIM OFF.
also that would make me want to die, like giving birth isn't gross enough. to have a whole ass clergy and sibling population just fucking WATCHING ME?? a pox upon your house fr
#i-fondued asks#also as someone who had a c-section because twins i would be like YOU BETTER BRING MY ASS TO THE HOSPITAL IN CASE ANYTHING GOES WRONG#my girls were premies and one had her o2 stats drop overnight and had to stay in the nicu for 5 days and it was the WORST#they told me she basically wasn't done cooking and wasn't ready to not have to rely on me for the little things like you know...breathing#and eating#now she's my wild child so dont worry#little goblins fr

I don’t need your criticism
I don’t need your criticism, Right now, I spent 3 months of my year, Glaring out of a window, With bars across, Staring at the cars in the car park, Crisscross out of there, Whilst I was trapped, Stuck, Next to my babies hooked up to wires, Frantic knocking on nights to make me get up and feed, I could scream, I almost screamed, What sort of fucked up game was that, I was stuck on a…

Pregnancy Rox: The Finale
Postpartum Update Howdy Folks! It has been a wild 4 months since my last post. So here’s the tea… If I recall correctly, the last time I posted was a few days before my emergency c-section. Listen, I already know what you’re thinking… I just KNEW I was going to make it to 34 weeks gestation. However, my little sweet face decided that she wanted to be the first of my children to wish me a happy…

My least favorite birth/pregnancy myth is the whole cord wrapped around babies neck bit so now Tumblr is showing me this ad every 3 seconds im losing my shit
Like. Like. Do people think fetuses are in there breathing for their oxygen?
#They aren't.#the pregnant person breathes for both of them and then the oxygen os arried through their blood straight into the fetuses blood#bypass the lungs all together#they're in water in there#biggest danger of a tangled cord is that it may be super short and could tear during the birth if pulled too tight#but thats a lot of ifs to go wrong to get there#like i know it's a dumb game but ita also a dangerous myth#'Oh i HAD to have a c section to save my babies life the cord was around his throat'#'My baby wasnt breathing when she was born the doctors had to take her straight to nicu for oxygen'#A lot of babies arent breathing at birth they're full of fluid. give them a second they've never had air before#the cord is bringing them oxygen they are fine for a bit i promise#anyway doula rant i guess#hope you learned a thing

dad simon doing skin to skin with his premie baby girl because shes in the nicu ☹️
:c he’d be so so scared to hold his little babe !!
tw: mentions of childbirth and preterm labor, fem!reader
but ok like i genuinely think if simon decided to have kids with someone it would be when they are both ‘older’ (and i say that term loosely bc im thinking they’d both be in late 30’s early 40’s) but because of that when getting pregnant there are more complications that could happen. simon would be so careful with you, and your pregnancy.
making sure to take a leave so he can be there for every single appointment and just care for you because above all else he needs you to be healthy.
so when you do go into preterm labor he’s a mess. but he’s pulled himself together enough to get you to the hospital and thankfully once you were admitted everything went smoothly. but it doesn’t stop that ache and fear of now having his baby girl out in the world.
he was so happy, you were both healthy, for the most part, little riley just needs a few weeks to be able to come home.
now came the really scary part. he already knew his baby was gonna seem like the smallest thing in the world, but now? he was scared one wrong move would break one of her weak little bones.
you’re so exhausted as you waddle your way to the nicu, but the second your eyes land on your little girl everything else fades away. and simon wishes he could feel that relief but he’s so fucking terrified.
his eyes are raw from not crying, throat feeling like they shoved sandpaper down it as he sees his girls in front of him, safe.
and before he can try to gently back out of it, the nurse is encouraging skin to skin contact, and you just look so so tired, that he can’t say no. his fingers trembling and feeling uncoordinated as the nurse places his baby on his bare chest.
his little girl instantly falling back asleep and one of his hands is gently resting on her back. he’s biting down on some of his fingers to hold back the sob that had been stuck in his throat for the past 24 hours.
and then you’re both crying, and he’s holding the two of you and he knows he’d do anything to keep this forever.

Another sad thing for Anya is that even if there was no crash, she's still so terribly off. There is barely enough medical supply for one severely injured person. There is no way there's enough supply for someone who is pregnant, someone who will need surgery.... no equipment for a baby in case it needs to be in a NICU unit. Best case scenario is that she delivers her baby by herself, cut the cord herself, etc. Not impossible of course but that is so hard even if she and the child are totally healthy. Lord forbid she gets too sick to care for herself, or if the baby needs to be a c-section! Anya even without the crash was doomed ugh my girl....

Baby girl is here 🩷 Things are better than they could be but not perfect. I am stuck in recovery from the c-section while she is too far away in a NICU at another hospital. I have only spent one hour with her since she was delivered over 24 hours ago, and am struggling to produce any milk (so far nothing I can give to her, just a few tiny drops of colostrum that not even the little syringe can gather). Hopefully tomorrow I will get discharged and go be with her again. She is stable but tiny and having apnea episodes that are possibly seizure-induced.

I don't bring up politics and world events up on here very much, that isn't what this blog is about. This blog is for escapism from reality, but those who are not willing to speak out against brutality are complicit. And this is my largest platform.
Don't continue reading if you don't want to read about war and violence.
Regarding Israel and Palestine I have seen many inaccurate assumptions and outright lies.
1ST CLAIM: One claim I hear ad nauseum is that Gaza elected Hamas and therefore they deserve punishment.
Let's break this down.
A. Hamas was elected around 2006. 17 years ago. They have not allowed elections since.
B. Roughly half of the Gazan population are under 18. This means half the population wasn't born during the last election. This means that of the Gazans who were alive many were too young to vote.
C. Hamas won by a 45 percent plurality, not a majority. This means that less than half of the Gazan who did vote did so for Hamas.
So taking these facts together we can conclude that only a fraction of a fraction of Gazans alive today elected Hamas.
In fact Netanyahu was happy to fund and prop up Hamas because doing so meant dividing Palestinians between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. So Netanyahu is more to blame for Hamas than Palestinians are.
2ND CLAIM: Another thing I hear a lot is that this conflict and all of the casualties are the fault of Hamas. Let me be clear, I do not support Hamas or the October 7th attack that ended up with a civilian casualty rate of around 50 percent, but that one attack doesn't exist alone or without context and nuance as many on the pro-Israel side would have people believe.
No, that attack was one incident in a line of many. Starting with the brutal apartheid, displacement, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel.
A slow motion genocide taking place over the course of many decades.
Let's look at some events leading up to and then following Oct. 7th.
It starts with the beginning of Israel. Even the often recited phrase "a land without people for a people without land" erases the existence of native people who had lived there for centuries.
In 1948 you have The Nakba. A mass displacement of Palestinians as Israel took their land. This flew in the face of the UN partition plan, after The Nakba Israel controlled 78 percent of the land, 25 percent more than the UN plan.
This trend of land theft has only continued.
Let's fast forward to more recent events.
2018-2019 The Great March of Return: For over a year there were peaceful marches protesting the Gaza border, this resulted in Israeli forces killing over 220 peaceful Palestinian protesters.
In 2019 Netanyahu admitted support for Hamas to prevent a 2 state solution.
In 2022 journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was targeted and killed by Israeli forces. Israeli forces also attacked her funeral.
Note that during this entire time Palestinians are arrested, even children, and kept in indefinite detention without trial.
In 2023 we then have the October 7th attack. But as you are now aware this isn't where the conflict started.
And clearly not where it has ended.
3RD CLAIM: And that brings us to the 3rd and most blatantly bullshit lie you will here on repeat. The notion that Israel only targets Hamas.
More UN workers have been killed in a 2 month period than have died in any other war since the UN's formation. Over 130.
If they were targeting Hamas then why have so many UN buildings, refugee camps, and hospitals been bombed?
If there goal wasn't civilians then why do civilians make up the majority of the casualities?
Why the medieval style siege/blockade that has caused hospitals to lose fuel and medicine and civilians to go hungry and thirsty?
Why parade civilians around in their underwear? Why laugh and cheer as a UN school is exploded?
Why leave babies in the NICU and force the hospital staff to leave with the promise an ambulance would be provided for the babies only for people to return once the IDF left and find the baby corpses rotting because the ambulance was never provided?
We can even leave Gaza to prove this is not about Hamas. Hamas does not lead the West Bank. And yet Palestinians there are being murdered and arrested at increased rates, their homes stolen by illegal settlers.
Israel officials have called this the Gaza Nakba, they have claimed they will make Gaza inhospitable, they have claimed there are no civilians in Gaza.
Netanyahu has said to remember Amalek.
What is Amalek? Amalek refers to Israels enemy in the bible. This phrase specifically, "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys"
Israel wants to steal the little land the Palestinians have left. Even now they are herded and concentrated into ever smaller camps with no resources.
Idk what we can do about the situation. This post seems silly for all the good it will do. But maybe it will open the eyes of a couple people. I think that would make it worth it.
