Heyyyy everyone! Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for April! Featuring the stabbiest meet-cute between Oraya and Raihn from The Serpent & the Wings of Night by @carissabroadbentbooks (on IG)! (It didn't mention if Raihn's wings were out in this scene, but wings are fun, so liberty taken!)

will never be over the hot sexy vampire sex fic i read where vamp gf feeds off human gf while she comes and then the narration is like. “she pressed a bandage to her femoral artery” um sorry to tell you this but google says that your gf will be dead within minutes. turns out the femoral artery isn’t one of the ones you can just kinda casually puncture.

Don't sleep on giving your partner's pulses some affection.

Press your lips to their neck and feel their pulse beat against them. Press your thumb against their wrist when you're kissing, feel their pulse race against it. Press your tongue against their throat, bite down and feel their pulse between your teeth.

I promise it will be life changing.

Miserable Malalignment Syndrome

---- the disease with objectively the coolest name

I wanted to share some awareness about my limb difference, miserable malalignment syndrome (MMS) so I decided to create a post talking about it!

MMS is a rare rotational deformity affecting the legs. rotational deformities are a category of deformity in which a bone, or multiple bones, are inappropriately rotated. MMS is a condition where both the femur and tibia are rotated in opposite directions, and more specifically, where the femur rotates inwards (femoral anteversion) and the tibia rotates outwards (external tibial torsion) MMS most frequently affects a single leg but can be bilateral.

people with MMS typically appear knock kneed, bow legged, and duck footed with a squinting patella.

MMS typically causes severe pain in the hips, knees, lower back, and in the ankles. MMS is also associated with patellar instability, scoliosis, and early onset osteoarthritis. pain from miserable malalignment is often described as being similar to having knives in your knees.

MMS is most common in children as this condition sometimes naturally corrects itself. other times, MMS can be changed with a surgery called a derotational osteotomy. while many people with MMS choose to undergo this surgery many people also opt out of it.

Anna Williams spent most of a day post-partum, having seen bitten without turning even though she very clearly should’ve.

Anna Williams could’ve very well been the first immune before Ellie but never gave herself time to find out.

shout out to that time I was asking my mother (a former er nurse) how a superficial gunshot would would be handled by emergency responders and she gave me detailed play by play and what to do in that situation bc my speech impediment and her understanding of me as a person made her think I was asking because of a Riding (horse) situation and not a Writing (monster hunter) situation.

i feel like i haven't posted peach in forever

also.... ya'll see that... bulge...😶? i'm 90% sure peach is actually a male 😶 apparently it's super rare for a parthenogenetic baby to be a male. so not only was it incredibly rare for kiwi to have a parthenogenetic baby, now there's whole other level of rare in the fact that it turned out to be a male gecko.

apparently female geckos have ZW sex chromosomes, and males are ZZ, so it's possible for females to create males without breeding with a male!

dislocations are so much fun. the wild unrelenting pain that comes in waves. the way it forces the body into shock, the cold cold cold of trying to respond to the environment at the same time as trying to remember how to breathe. characters being physically unable to find a position that doesn't hurt. not being able to sleep, even in the narrow time afforded to them for sleeping, because they can't find a position that doesn't hurt. exhausted and cold and maybe they try to put it back in but they do it wrong, or they can't get it back in without someone else to help them.

or maybe it's an accidental dislocation, and they're out in the field doing whatever work they do, but it happens and they're suddenly in a much worse position than they were two seconds ago - they have no way of getting back, they can no longer walk/climb/whatever - and they need to figure out a new plan with a dislocation demanding their full attention at all times.

dislocations are a lot of fun

about to be one step closer to surgery (doing my gait analysis to get a better idea of how my legs are rotated)

had a nightmare last night about surgery, I want to do it but I'm so scared of it. it's a major surgery and I'm likely getting metal in my knees and that's just terrifying but it needs to happen because I'm losing cartilage so 🥲

it'll be my first major surgery, I've had minor ones before but never anything like this. I legitimately have 7 things wrong with my knees that all need treatment. it's frustrating, I don't know what to do and I can't tell if I'm making the right decision. I'll be the first person recorded getting this particular surgery for miserable malalignment syndrome instead of just doing a derotational osteotomy. I'm honestly very scared that I'll get surgery, it won't work, and then I'll be in the same or worse boat and need to get a derotational osteotomy to preserve my cartilage. I don't know what to do and I just want to cry about the whole situation.
