Do I want to know what tusk love is

in cr canon, part of the party visits a smut shop and jester purchases a dime romance novel called “tusk love,” which she reads avidly. it stars genevieve and oskar, a merchant’s daughter and the half-orc farmhand, and their whirlwind, class-difference romance. her possession and fangirling of this book is a well-loved joke by the cast and audience. it’s a fun little recurring gag!

jester obviously projects herself and fjord onto the two main characters. there are some comedic moments where jester refers to fjord with a swooning “oh, oskar...” idk how much you know of cr, but jester and fjord’s players are wife and husband irl.

people like to write what they think tusk love is and then post their novellas on ao3. i couldn’t care less about them because i am a lesbian.

fj*rester is cute in canon because laura and travis are both very charming and have great chemistry and it’s fun to see laura get travis into these romantic moments when he didn’t want to do romance initially, but she is just SO GOOD at character work... it’s also usually pretty funny and enjoyable to watch. valid canon romance! however whenever i see anyone like... seriously invested in it, if i have to see fic or art, my pettiness and lesbianism commands my eyes to roll. like if you like it i don’t care. i legit don’t care my apathy knows no bounds. please don’t flood my inbox please i DON’T CARE

DÉJAME ENTRAR, de John Ajvide Lindqvist

DÉJAME ENTRAR Autor/es: John Ajvide Lindqvist Inicio de la lectura: 01/05/2017 Finalización: 31/05/2017 Club al que pertenece: Letras rojas

Primera parte: Oskar y Eli se conocen. ¿Qué es Eli?. Comentamos las dos primeras partes

"Déjame entrar" plantea una historia romántica entre un niño sensible y una niña monstruosa. Se encuentran en el gélido invierno de un suburbio de Estocolmo, a principio de los años 80 del pasado siglo. El calificativo que acompaña a la niña, Eli, lo que le hace diferente, y lo que al fin y al cabo es la clave de la novela, es que se alimenta de sangre humana. Dicho de esta manera lo más habitual, y lo que a todos se nos ocurre, es suponer que este libro es una novela de vampiros. Etiquetar 'Déjame entrar' como una novela de vampiros sin más sería quedarse un poco cortos. En un momento de la novela el niño protagonista, Oskar, de 12 años, le pregunta a su amiga si ella es un vampiro. La niña le responde que ella no lo es, que ella solo se alimenta de sangre y que se diferencia de los vampiros en que ella no está muerta. Durante todo el libro planea la indefinición sobre Eli y su personaje. Oskar se muestra incrédulo sobre su amiga y piensa más de una vez en que ella le miente. También Eli duda sobre su identidad. Confiesa que no sabe si es niño o niña, si es persona o monstruo. El autor, el sueco John Ajvide Lindqvist, decidió ambientar la historia en una pequeña localidad de su país natal. Acaban de empezar los años 80 en Blackeberg, población levantada unos pocos años atrás, sin apenas historia ni tradición a sus espaldas. Un lugar tranquilo rodeado por profundos bosques, que está a punto de cobijar a unos personajes que alterarán por completo su tranquilo modo de vida. En esta primera entrega comentaremos las dos primeras partes: DICHOSO AQUEL QUE TIENE UN AMIGO ASÍ es el título de la primera y ULTRAJE es el de la segunda. Oskar es un niño solitario y triste que vive con su madre y que tiene que pasar mucho tiempo solo mientras ella trabaja. Varias  cosas le convierten en un niño especial: utiliza una esponja para evitar las pérdidas de orina y tiene una curiosa afición: colecciona recortes de prensa sobre asesinatos violentos. No tiene casi amigos y sus compañeros de colegio se ríen de él y le maltratan. Una noche conoce a Eli, su nueva vecina del piso de al lado, una misteriosa niña de su edad que parece no tener frío a pesar de vestirse únicamente con jerséis, despide un olor extraño y suele ir acompañada de un hombre de aspecto siniestro que podría ser su padre. Oskar se siente fascinado por Eli y se hacen inseparables en las frías noches del patio de vecinos. Al mismo tiempo, una serie de crímenes y sucesos extraños hace sospechar a la policía local de la presencia de un asesino en serie. Desde las primeras páginas conocemos la existencia de un grupo de borrachines e inadaptados que tendrán un importante protagonismo en la historia. Tal vez sea la disculpa para analizar el lado oscuro de una sociedad opulenta como es la sueca, con sus miserias (alcoholismo, personas que viven de las ayudas sociales sin buscar nada más, pedofilia, acoso escolar...) y sus bondades (instalaciones deportivas, protección social, educación gratuita, recursos sanitarios...). Existen dos versiones cinematográficas de la novela. La primera, dirigida en 2008 por el sueco Tomas Alfredson se puede ver con excelente calidad en Youtube. De la versión de 2010 existe en Youtube una copia en español latino.

Nueva semana. Tercera parte: LA NIEVE FUNDIÉNDOSE EN LA PIEL

Ya habéis advertido que "Déjame entrar" está formado por el relato de diferentes historias que forman un mosaico en el que todas las piezas confluyen en Eli, un misterioso personaje al que ya en este capítulo se le presenta con una personalidad ambigua. ¿Quién es Eli?. ¿Qué es Eli? Hasta ahora la relación entre Oskar y Eli está teñida de un aura de inocencia que contrasta exageradamente con las extrañas circunstancias que rodean a la aparición de la niña en el barrio de Blackberg, situado en los suburbios de Estocolmo. Es enternecedor el encuentro de los dos niños, Oskar armado con un cuchillo y desfogando su frustración contra un árbol, y Eli contemplando la escena desde un tobogán y vestida con un simple jersey que evidentemente no le puede proteger del frío de una  noche sueca de octubre. La niña vampiro se ha mudado a la casa de al lado y vive con un pederasta, Hakan, que se enamoró de ella hace tiempo y al que utiliza para que le consiga la sangre que necesita. Y es que la niña es un parásito que, aparte de chupar sangre, se aprovecha de los solitarios, de los que la sociedad rechaza, para poder sobrevivir. En los capítulos finales sabremos que es una inmortal contagiada a los doce años, antes de la madurez, que no parece comprender demasiado bien lo que le rodea y se mueve solo por instinto de conservación. No llegamos nunca a saber qué grado de humanidad conserva. De Hakan conoceremos en este capítulo su pasado como profesor, acorralado por unas pulsiones que no puede reprimir y que le llevan a apartarse y ser despreciado por la sociedad. Es Eli quien le recupera y le dota de un objetivo siniestro. A la vez Hakan le profesa una fidelidad que le lleva a intentar suicidarse con ácido y convertirse en un monstruo que protagonizará las páginas más terroríficas del final de la novela. Por otro lado, están un grupo de amigos alcohólicos vecinos del barrio, Morgan, Larry, Gosta, Locke y especialmente Virginia, que acabarán siendo víctimas del monstruo, y un policía, que sigue a lo que él cree que es un asesino en serie, que pone el punto de vista del adulto racional, demasiado racional en algunos casos frente a la evidencia que tienen delante de las narices. En esta tercera parte, el tercer capítulo "La nieve fundiéndose en la piel", la policía investiga si Hakan, internado en el hospital y recuperándose de los efectos del ácido, es el responsable de los asesinatos que se han reproducido recientemente en la zona. Los amigos borrachines acuden a casa de uno de ellos para convencerle de que declare ante la policía como testigo del asesinato de un amigo común. La escena se desarrolla en una casa pestilente, llena de gatos que en capítulos posteriores tendrán un protagonismo espeluznante. Otra de las historias tiene lugar en la casa del padre de Oskar, un padre separado y alcohólico, con buenas intenciones, pero al que la adicción le convierte en un ser despreciable a los ojos del niño. El mosaico de los vicios y las miserias de la sociedad sueca lo completan la serie de niños y jóvenes inadaptados que planean sobre la figura de Oskar. Todos son desarraigados, crueles, capaces de abusar del más débil o, si no, de apartarse y pasar las tardes embotados por el pegamento mientras lo esnifan en los sótanos de los edificios. En este capítulo Oskar es definitivamente consciente de que Eli es un vampiro. Nunca sale de día, puede ver en la oscuridad, no tiene frío, no come, y pronuncia la frase que se permite entrar a los vampiros en las habitaciones: "Dime que puedo entrar". "Estoy sola", dice Eli mientras le confiesa que no sabe lo que es y provoca un acercamiento de evidente atracción física y amorosa. Oskar se muestra confuso y superado por los acontecimientos mientras asiste a la manifestación más bestial de Eli, casi incapaz de resistirse a la atracción de la sangre que corre por la mano del niño. La parte del libro que vamos a comentar finaliza justo cuando comienza la parte más terrorífica, una mezcla de persecuciones, luchas, vampiros-zombis, inmolaciones ante el sol del día, mientras que ni los padres, ni la policía, ni los maestros, ni la sociedad parecen darse cuenta de lo que está pasando a su alrededor.

ÚLTIMA ENTREGA: cuarta y quinta parte. "Por favor, no tengas miedo de mí".

La última parte de "Déjame entrar" discurre como un torrente en el que las diferentes tramas del libro se deslizan de forma vertiginosa, arrollando a su paso cualquier atisbo de acercamiento a la realidad, como así había sido en los primeros capítulos del libro. Este es el momento de la fantasía, del terror, de personajes inverosímiles, de historias secundarias que son confusas y algunas veces innecesarias. No obstante el ritmo frenético de la acción te acaba enganchando y te deja con ganas de más, hasta el final, que es bastante fuerte. La relación de Eli y Oskar da un giro sorprendente. Eli se siente atraída de una forma bastante sensual, bastante impropia de los doce años que dice que representa, por Oskar. Este, por su parte, establece una relación amor-repulsión por su amiga. Le desagrada profundamente tener el convencimiento de que su amiga es un vampiro, le repugna la violencia que esta necesita para alimentarse de sangre a la vez que se siente sobrepasado por los momentos que está pasando. A todo esto se le añade un elemento que perturbará aún más el ambiente infecto e insano en el que viven los dos niños: Eli es Elías, es un niño con una historia fascinante y aterradora a la vez. En la narración el femenino de Eli se va a convertir en masculino al referirse a Elías. Paralelamente vamos a conocer los acontecimientos que van a afectar  los otros personajes del libro. Lacke y Virginia, consciente plenamente de su condición vampírica, protagonizarán una de las mejores escenas del libro cuando los gatos de Gösta ataquen a Virginia. De Tommy conoceremos unos hechos intrascendentes para la novela, hasta que se produzca el encuentro en los sótanos de la casa de los chicos con lo que queda de un Hakan que parece recién sacado de entre la escoria zombi de un capítulo de The Walking Dead.

CANTLON: BRUINS EDGE PACK TAKE SECOND PLACE BATTLE

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - An early third-period penalty led to a Providence Bruins powerplay goal that allowed them to edge out the Hartford Wolf Pack, 3-2, in a very hard-fought contest Sunday afternoon at the XL Center. The Wolf Pack record slips to 31-16-6-5 (73 points) and the team sits in third place in the Atlantic Division. Providence meanwhile sees its record improve to 34-18-3-3 (74 points). They take-over second-place from Hartford. The Baby bruins have now won eight straight games. The Charlotte Checkers are in fourth place and trail the Wolf Pack by five points. Early in the third period, a bad neutral zone tripping penalty by Pack captain, Steve Fogarty, led to the goal that would allow Providence to regain the lead they would not relinquish. The Bruins' puck possession skills that had been on display all game paid dividends on the man-advantage in just 17 seconds. Jack Studnicka sent the puck over to Peter Cehlarik. He fired a shot that was saved by J.F. Berube, but he was unable to corral the loose puck and Brendan Gaunce was right there to smack it into the net at 2:40. For Gaunce, it was his 17th goal of the season. The Wolf Pack made a strong effort to tie the game, especially in the final two minutes. With Berube pulled for an extra attacker, the Pack would come their closest to scoring. Vitali Kravtsov rang a shot off the inside of the right post with 1:15 remaining. Vinni Lettieri took a short side slapper that was stopped by Max Lagace (21 saves) and Fogarty saw his bid denied as well. “That’s what's happened in our games with Providence this year. Something happens late in the game or a period. They scored a goal from the corner in one game, I believe with 30 seconds left. They don’t always go in your favor. We had everything in our favor in trying to tie the game up, but we missed. We had three really great scoring chances, six on five. It was three-in-three. The guys coulda quit. It's hard playing three-in-three against a very good team and down 2-0. We did everything to try to get it to overtime,” said Knoblauch, doing his best to hide the impact of the tough loss. The Wolf Pack finally got some open ice and time with the puck and picked up their first goal midway through the second period. On a Bruins dump in, Libor Hajek commandeered the puck and started moving up the ice on the left-wing side. Hajek passed it over to Lettieri, who side-stepped getting nailed at the blue line and moved into center ice. Lettieri put a pass back to Hajek as he sailed down the left-wing. Nobody was going to catch him as he ripped his first of the season going top shelf to the far side at 11:56. “Libor did a great job to get the puck up the ice and gave us a real jump when we needed it,” remarked Knoblauch. Another jumpstart was Nick Ebert, not the heavyweight pugilist, getting into a scrap with a much bigger Brendan Woods, who is a lefty. Ebert got the Pack going. “We got that first goal and Nicky dropped the gloves really got us going and we got another late in the period. We battled hard the rest of the period,” said Tim Gettinger The Wolf Pack evened things up at two on a set of smart passes. A backhand dump in from Ebert behind the Bruins net that left the puck a little between Bruins goalie Max Lagace and defenseman Nick Zboril, who both arrived at the puck at the same time. Zboril eventually took possession and rimmed it up the left-wing boards, but just jumping on for his shift was Jeff LoVerde, who got the puck and sent it to Patrick Newell along the right-wing boards. Newell made a quick play from off the right-wing half-wall put the shot toward the net. The puck found Gettinger's red-hot stick as he got to the front of the net and scored his third goal in two games and 15th of the season off a perfect deflection at 14:05. “He (LoVerde) made a great play to Patty, luckily I was able to put in,” Gettinger said while downplaying his own contribution. The Bruins came into the game having won seven-in-a-row. In the first period, they showed why as they scored their first two goals of the game. The first goal was scored shorthanded by the Bruins with surgical precision at 11:41. Danny O’Regan lost the puck on his rush attempt ice. The puck went back to the Bruins left defenseman, Jason Zboril, who passed it over to his partner Josiah Didier who nailed a diagonal pass from the defensive zone to the Wolf Pack blue line to Trent Frederic. The Bruins second-leading scorer then hit a speeding Oskar Steen racing down the right-wing with a perfect pass that he redirected in full flight for his seventh of the season. The second goal was again a lightning strike by the Bruins using handy stick work. This time an outlet pass meant for Fogarty never arrived. Cameron Hughes intercepted a pass and then on a dime quickly curled to the net and fed Jack Studnicks who put in his 22nd of the season at 11:32. “We weren’t playing our best. They were taking it to us. They got pucks deep. We weren’t moving our feet and in the second and third we finally got our feet moving and we starting getting chances. We just didn’t have enough (at the end),” said Gettinger. It sets up a very critical three-in-three next weekend with two home games against the Hershey Bears. LINES: O’Regan-Kravtsov-Fogarty Jones-Newell-Gropp Beleskey-Lettieri-Gettinger McBride-Dmowski-Ronning Hajek-Raddysh LoVerde-Geersten Ebert-Rykov SCRATCHES: Boo Nieves - Upper-body - Injury day-to-day. Brandon Crawley - Healthy Greg Chase - Healthy Gabriel Fontaine - Shoulder Surgery - Season-Ending NOTES: J.F. Berube has 23 saves on the game for Hartford. Lettieri had six shots and Kravtsov had four to pace the Wolf Pack. D-men Didier and ex-Pack, Steven Kampfer, with four shots each paced the Bruins' shots. Matt Beleskey had the second scrap of the game with a much bigger Alex Petrovic early in the third. One lineup change was Jake Elmer, who was sent back to the team's ECHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners. The Wolf Pack recalled Greg Chase, who's the nephew of former Hartford Whaler, Kelly Chase. He was scratched as was Elmer since he was recalled. Among the six Bruins scratches was Wiley Sherman (Greenwich/Hotchkiss Prep). Wolf Pack Fan Jerseys Of The Game: Wolf Pack #10 Brian Gibbons (Charlotte), CT Whale, Michael Haley (Rangers) and CT Whale #86 Wojtech Wolski (SC Bern Switzerland LNA). Very classy gesture by the entire Bruins team to go shake hands with linesman Mike Baker and Derek Wahl, who were working their last AHL games as a linesman. We were alerted they had received a curiously worded e-mail “Pick your last game,“ earlier in the week as notice their contracts would not be renewed for next season. Read the full article

History

Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a potentially deadly disease and it may cause one afflicted to experience paralysis. Most victims experience crippling, and some cases may cause the lung muscles to become inactive. There are accounts of the disease that predate recorded history, but in the later 1700s, more and more discoveries of polio were concluded. 

In the United States alone, polio has been recorded in 1894 and 1916. In 1894, 132 cases of polio were recorded in Vermont. Then later in 1916, the large scale epidemic of polio in the United States occurred. There were discoveries of polio made before this happened, however the vaccine was not developed until later in 1947. 

In 1789, Michael Underwood first described the disease as “... the debility of the lower extremities which gradually become more infirm, and after a few weeks are unable to support the body.” Other researchers, Jacob (Jakob) Heine and Oskar Medin contributed more description of polio. Their contributions led the disease to become known as the Heine-Medin disease. 

In 1929, Philip Drinker and Louis Shaw developed the iron lung to breathe for victims who lost the ability to use their lung muscles to polio. A year later and within the rest of the 1930s, two strains of polio were discovered. It was found out later on however that there are actually three strains of the virus. 

Sister Kenny, an Australian nurse, is recognized for her treatment methods to aid those with polio. By using warm compresses to relax muscles, the muscles of polio victims could be relaxed and the pain could be lessened. In the 1940s, she brought these methods to the United States. 

Dr. Jonas Salk is recognized for developing a vaccine for polio. By using a tissue culture method of growing the virus, he was able to develope this and he saved many lives. By the use of this vaccine, polio in the United States between 1955 and 1957 decreased by 85-90%. 

Albert Sabin from Russia also developed a vaccine, but it was replaced in 1962 by the Salk vaccine due to the cost and how it was administered. Previous attempts to make a vaccine, including those of Maurice Brodie and John Kolmer, were failed attempts before Salk and Sabin managed to reach the conclusion. 

Even after polio however, those afflicted with polio experienced post-polio syndrome. They often experience symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and weakness, but may also experience muscle-wasting. These symptoms could last over a year. 

In Brazil, the first National Immunization Day was held in Brazil for vaccinating against polio. In order to discover more of polio, the genome sequence was published in 1981. 

Polio wasn’t just discovered and fought against by a select number of people around the world. In fact there were many instances in which people created organizations for polio victims and polio prevention. FDR alone developed the Warm Springs Foundation for Rehabilitation, and he also founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, more famously known as the March of Dimes. Rotary International, in 1985, launched the PolioPlus program. UNICEF also began their worldwide campaign to stop polio in 1988.
