Paint my body with your blood 🩸♡

[l3vi4than]

What if the bear is a panda who is as clumsy as me and mainly herbivore

What if the woman is that nasty school teacher who bullied you for your handwriting

What if the man is an expert in wild hiking

Idk I’d die of bleeding soon after tripping over my own leg anyway, so it’s not even a relevant question to me. Which one of them pilots the search mission helicopter? Or at least has an ampule of coagulants? Anyone? Pls???

Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man, woman or bear?

i don't think i would mind any kind of human if my other option is a bear

Prompt #84

"Are you a haemophiliac?" the villain suddenly asked.

The hero turned to them with a look of surprise. "Yeah, I...how did you know?"

The villain's fangs were practically throbbing. Everything in them was screaming to bite, bite, bite - to take the hero's throat between their teeth and drink.

But instead they held themself back. Smiled sly and slow.

"Because I'm a vampire. How else?" they said.

The hero rolled their eyes. "Yeah, right. The only thing you suck out of anything is fun."

The other would never know how much the villain wished that was true...

Prongsfoot Week 2024 - Day 2

New to Prongsfoot Week: What Headcanons do you have for this ship? IE, things like, James made the first move or Sirius got James into crosswords. Anything really.

They bounce ideas and theories off of each other in a speed and with half formed sentences that leaves everyone else thinking they speak their own language, even their close friends “But what if we -” “Eh, not so sure. Remember last time? But what if -” “Oh! That could work! And then we just - “ “Good idea, let's test that out.” Peter just looks at Remus, completely confused what just happened. Remus shrugs. It's just a normal Tuesday. .

Sirius is a haemophiliac. James makes sure he has potions for that at hand whenever they go after Death Eaters or go on a full moon adventure, just in case. .

James is a lightweight when it comes to drinking. It takes a lot more for Sirius to get drunk. So when they are both out in public Sirius usually slows down a little to be able to keep an eye on James. .

Sirius smokes, James doesn't. At least not officially. He totally borrows from Sirius all the time. .

James is a morning person, Sirius more of an insomniac who manages to run on like 3 hours of sleep but grumbles in the morning .

When both of them get woken up in the middle of the night though Sirius brain is fully there immediately, James needs a minute to get there .

James is left-handed. They have adjusted their duelling style around that for maximum impact on their enemies .

They are scary when they fight together .

They both have dragon heartstring wand cores .

James is a tiny bit better at Transfiguration, Sirius a bit better at Charms .

Sirius is not a fan of Potions. He can do it but he doesn't love all the precise cutting and stirring and the slow process of it all (and Slughorn isn't helping with constantly trying to get him to join his little Club). James is a lot more patient with the Potion process and also the one that keeps their dorm well stocked on all they need – from Painkiller to Pepperup Potions – to get though all their full moon adventures unnoticed .

They have a table claimed in the back corner of the library that is basically theirs. No one else gets to sit there. First years ending up there get shooed away. This is where they do a lot of their research for various projects so they don't have to carry all the books around between their dormitory and the library .

Sirius wears one of James' old Quidditch jerseys to all of his games. James loves to see his last name in big letters on Sirius' back (especially when they are playing against Slytherin and Regulus gets to see it) .

Sirius secretly loves James' Captain badge

I have to share this fic... it's really good. Alexei II by Cribman // link

Summary: Instead of abdicating for his younger brother, Nicholas II is instead pressured to abdicate in favour of his underage and haemophiliac son, Alexei. With Russia in the midst of a revolution during a war against the brutal onslaught of the Central Powers. The new provisional government must work with the new Tsar and his regent to heal the fractured empire before more damage can be done. With their popularity damaged almost to the point beyond repair. The senior members of the House of Romanov must begin to embrace political reforms to survive the turbulence that is surely to come.

okay tumblr, we should talk about polish preselections for eurovision contest.

as some of you may have heard, polish “national” (that is — political biased) tv station faked the results. i can assure you it’s highly possible. the audacity of polish politicians is so disturbing, they think that polish society is blind and won’t notice what they’re doing — taking away our freedom and rights. we wanted a brave, original candidate, someone who could really represent us — the oppressed and devastated people of XXI century (not mentioning the terrible situation in our neighbour’s country, praying for Ukraine).

TIME TO SAID IT LOUD!!

in poland we are being ashamed and abused BY THE GOVERNMENT because of

— having different look

— being disabled

— having different sexuality

— having different religion

— having different opinion

— being a woman

— not being ready to give birth and wanting abortion

AND MANY MORE THINGS. IT’S TRUE PEOPLE, I LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND HAVE OPEN EYES. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THE PRIDE MONTH, THE GOVERNMENT OUTLAWED ABORTION, DON’T SUPPORT DISABLED PEOPLE (OR SICK PEOPLE, LIKE HAEMOPHILIACS), THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION HATES ON WOMEN ON LIVE TV, AND THE FCKING SHTYY CLOWN WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY DARES TO LAUGH AT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE! NOT MENTIONING CATHOLIC CHURCH STEALING MONEY FROM OUR BUDGET!!!

it’s sick that we still agree to that nonsense! but our contribution to fair competition is truly amazing. after the eurovision preselections had been frauded, we stood against fakers. we are sympathising with each other in order to fight for the right choices and honest decisions. that’s truly amazing because we mostly are great people, really close to each other when we have the same goal. and right now our goal is justice.

please, don’t hate on all polish people. be aware of the situation we’re living in. it’s hard but it’s great to know that there are still many people ready to fight for justice

Lillan, 1908 (left) / The Cat Journey, p.14 (right)

In July, 1906, Arosenius's daughter, Eva (Eva Benedikta Elisabet Arosenius, 1906-2004) known as 'Lillan' (Little one) was born; Arosenius was devoted to his daughter and her arrival caused him to give up his Bohemian habits for a more quiet family life; he married Lillan's mother, Ida "Eva" Adler (Ida Eva Andrea Cecilia Adler, 1879-1965) and created the children's book Kattresan for Lillan. Arosenius's later works reflect this change in personal circumstances, becoming more intimate in tone.

Arosenius died tragically early at the age of 31- a coughing fit resulted in a burst blood vessel and the blood choked him to death. Arosenius was a haemophiliac.

Infected blood victims could each receive payments of more than £2 million under a compensation scheme announced by the government.

Ministers set out the figures as they unveiled the proposed scheme following publication of the public inquiry's report into the scandal on Monday.

That said authorities covered up the scandal and exposed victims to unacceptable risks.

The government said the first payments will be made by the end of the year.

In the meantime, it said it would make extra interim payments of £210,000 over the summer.

Those will be to 4,000 victims who have already received payments of £100,000.

But the government said compensation would eventually be made available to a much wider group of people, including to the family and loved-ones of those who have been infected. This could include the children or parents - the first time they will have received any financial payment.

The total cost could eventually be in the region of £10 billion.

The infected blood inquiry has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.

More than 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from 1970 to 1991 by contaminated blood products and transfusions.

About 3,000 of them have since died - many haemophiliacs given infected blood products as part of their treatment.

'Five criteria'

The compensation due will be judged under five criteria:

injury and harm caused

social impact from stigma and isolation

impact on autonomy and private life, such as not being able to have children

care costs

financial loss

The government said payments would depend on individual circumstances, but typical payouts for those infected with HIV, or for HIV plus hepatitis, would be in excess of £2 million.

Those with a hepatitis infection causing liver damage would get around £1 million.

Those who face extreme care costs or who were very high earners before infection could get even more.

The figures released also give examples of compensation awards for the family members of those infected.

The partner of someone infected with HIV who is still alive today, for example, should expect to receive around £110,000, while a child could get £55,000.

If their loved-one has died and they were financially dependent on them, annual payments are available.

The scheme will be administered by a new body called the Infected Blood Compensation Authority, which will be led initially by Sir Robert Francis, who chaired the inquiry into the Stafford Hospital scandal.

It is proposed that the compensation will be taken as a lump sum or series of payments. The plans will be consulted on over the coming weeks.

From next April, the compensation scheme will effectively replace the existing financial support scheme - versions of which have been in place since 1989. In recent years they have been worth more than £40,000 a year to some, such as those who have been infected or, if they have died while benefitting, their partners.

Announcing the details in the House of Commons, paymaster general John Glen repeated the apology made by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday, saying the victims had suffered "unimaginable pain".

He said the publication of the public inquiry's report was a "day of great humility for everyone".

He hopes the compensation package will be welcomed: "The infected blood community know their cries for justice have been heard."

Des Collins, of Collins Solicitors, which is representing over 500 families, said the news was a "positive step and broadly encouraging".

But he criticised the government for not acting earlier, pointing out they were told to act on compensation by the public inquiry two years ago.

"The government has wasted valuable time. Why the promised further consultation has not happened sooner is also bewildering, but better late than never."

Jason Evans, of the campaign group Factor 8, said he would need to carefully consider the compensation sums before commenting.

But he said he was concerned about the wait some face given the interim payments are only available to certain individuals.

"Today's announcement will be a gut-punch to most bereaved families, who have still received no compensation at all."

The atmosphere was bloody; I fell in love with you.

[thoughtlessarse]

Disastrous failures that caused the contaminated blood scandal were denied by ministers for decades after officials destroyed, lost and blocked access to key documents, memos submitted to the official inquiry reveal. Several batches of files involving the work of a blood safety advisory committee were shredded as the government faced the threat of legal action, documents show. Patients who were given contaminated blood when they were children have also told the infected blood inquiry how their hospital medical files were destroyed or initially withheld. About 3,000 people died from contaminated blood from commercial concentrated products for haemophiliacs and blood transfusions. Dame Diana Johnson, the Labour MP who has campaigned for proper compensation and justice for the victims, said ministers were able to resist calls for a public inquiry because documents had not been disclosed exposing the failures. She said: “Successive governments took the line up until 2017 that there was no reason for a public inquiry and everything was done properly.” […] The inquiry has also heard how several batches of minutes and background papers involving the work of the Advisory Committee on the Virological Safety of Blood were shredded between 1994 and 1998. The files were destroyed at a time when officials were told there was “considerable potential for litigation” over infected blood and after ministers were charged in France over the scandal in poisoning haemophiliacs.

Stranger Things Thoughts

The other half won’t approve, but as your humble narrator has access to binge watching the entirity of ‘Stranger Things’ from start to finish, decided to see what the fuss was all about.

First impressions?

It’s kind of a crossover between the video game Half Life and Goosebumps, and get the suspicion it was aimed at the Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Stephen King fans type target market.

It’s definitely a ‘binge watch’ series - just don’t see how it would have survived as a traditional one hour and one episode a week to hold people’s attention span, as some of the cliffhangers are weaker than train station cafe tea.

Will is really Fiver from the film version of Watership Down. Or Harry Potter’s scar. Just the scar.

Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp were definitely recruited for reasons other than their acting abilities (ie. appealing to Jimmie Savile/Mrs Robinson types), because both are incredibly piss poor. It becomes quiet frightening as the show progresses how often Caleb McLaughlin’s over-the-top angry guy stuff appears to be to overcompensate for both being so insipid. Finn Wolfhard in particular seems to have the acting abilities of a blobfish.

By contrast, Gaten Matarazzo may have a face only a mother could love, but he carries a frighteningly large number of scenes without anyone really noticing it. He’s the Cartman of the gang, but all in a good way. Aside from being the originator of some of their most ‘cunning plans’, he’s the only one who appears to have learned good real life lessons from playing D&D: that is, to succeed against adversity, you need to stick together as a team, each playing to their strengths to compensate for other’s weaknesses.

Millie Bobbie Brown’s acting chops are formidable, but her constant use as a Deus Ex Machina becomes a little wearing after a while. On the other hand, her transformation into David Vanian of the Damned in Season 2 was hilarious.

Natalia Dyer’s jawbone is made from tungsten. There can be no other explanation.

Charlie Heaton is the reincarnation of Déagol from The Lord Of The Rings movies.

That Billy character had the worst case of being closet gay and aggressively in denial about it since Vaas Montenegro in Far Cry 3.

When Will suddened declares that the Big Bad is back in Season 3, right after his fall out with his buds not wanting to be stuck in his D&D timewarp, isn’t it jarring that no one questions it? After all, mega-convenient way of getting the gang back together on his terms, yes?

David Harbour’s Angry Dad routine gets wearing REALLY quickly in season 3.

Why does Winona Ryder’s character give the constant appearence of being a recovering alcoholic?

Steve Harrington’s reaction to Robin admitting she was a lesbian (while turning him down) is ludicrously out of context with what would actually have happened to any woman admitting as much in the 1980s, especially slap bang in the very year the AIDS panic took off in the U.S. (largely after haemophiliac teen Ryan White contracted it via a dodgy blood transfusion, bringing out into the open American’s utterly f**ked up pay-for-blood donation system into question).

Why are none of the kids playing computer games? At all?

The music is meant to be 80s, but they have some real issues with it as much as the supposed 80s clothes and haircuts.

(Here comes the Madame Lee bit, concentrate!)

Season One - It’s Meant To Be 1983, but ....

Jefferson Airplane - 'She Has Funny Cars' and 'White Rabbit'

By the 1980s, Jefferson Airplane were Jefferson Starship, and the drugged out hippies like so many psychedelics and prog rockers had gone down the AOR/Cock Rock route.

By the timeline of 'Stranger Things' the band was falling apart as their brief period of late 70s success burned out - ironically they were to score their biggest hits as plain old post-court case Starship were forced to go even more commercial, with global No.1's with 1985's 'We Build This City (On Rock 'n' Roll)' and 1987's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' (the latter the theme song to the hit movie 'Mannaquin') - after which they all but vanished. Jefferson Airplane's back catalogue meanwhile was virtually unsellable at this time.

The inclusion of 'White Rabbit' may have been a scriptwriter's brick joke - as during Eleven's brief runaway in season two, she changes her look to one resembling to a remarkable degree David Vanian of the Damned during the period when, in sheer desperation for a hit outside of the UK, the band did a cover of Jefferson Airplane's most famous track (it flopped, as all covers of this song tend to do).

Toto - Africa

The song which has become an internet meme was released in 1984 ... a year after the events of season one.

The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

The other 'theme song' for Season One, played umpteen times during the series. A hit in the summer of 1982, rush released in panic by CBS after the original taster single flopped.

Contrary to historical revision, The Clash were never a major band in the punk era and largely enjoyed only a few minor hits: the major exception was this Mick Jones written track and drummer Topper Headon's 'Rock The Casbah', both for 1982's 'Combat Rock' - when the band had been told by CBS to write a commercially sellable album or have their contract terminated (contrary to the name, it sounds more like a funk record

But by 1983, The Clash were effectively no more: band 'leader' Joe Strummer's ego couldn't handle 'his bass player' and 'his drummer' getting the band's first two truly global selling singles (the two Strummer singles from the album, 'Straight To Hell' and 'Know Your Rights' flopped), and sacked Jones in a fit of pique, after which Headon resigned.

Brotherhood Of Man - Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree

This one is positively embarrassing. Brotherhood Of Man never recorded this song until 2002.

To be fair, a lot of people do get this Brit band (punk's most famous victims: a former Eurovision song contest winner dropped by their record company abruptly after scoring their final No.1 'Figaro' because they were 'old hat') mixed up with Tony Orlando's Dawn, who did the original global hit.

The Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter

The Bangles may have covered it in concert, but it was never released on record until 1987.

Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You

From 1981, two years earlier.

Peter Gabriel - Heroes

Oh FFS! Gabriel's murdering of the late David Bowie classic only happened in 2010 for his cover versions album 'Scratch My Back' aka 'Utterly Out Of Ideas'.

Joy Division - Atmosphere

Four years too late, or five years too early, depending on your point of view.

By the timeline of this, nazi bigot Ian Curtis had done the world a favour and hanged himself four years prior (this song was released as a post-suicide cash in, but flopped), and Joy Division had changed name to New Order precisely to cleanse its association with him (ironically they had a mammoth global hit with 'Blue Monday', one of the songs of the 1980s, in 1983, but it never made the show.

A remixed and cleaned up version of 'Atmosphere' was released as a successful standalone single in 1988, as Joy Division's back-catalogue became more critically reappaised with the success of New Order and the moribund far-right no longer being considered a matter of wide scale concern.

Season Two - It's meant to be 1984, but ...

Devo - Whip It

From 1980. Even more ironically, by 1984 the band were virtual pariahs in the United States having 'sold out' their sound for the sake of their New Zealand fanbase (the only place they were ever truly successful). New Zealand wasn't long in following suit ...

Duran Duran - Girls On Film

Arguable. Three years too late - but the song did very heavy rotation in 1983 and 1984 on MTV, bringing them to mass attention, but never became a U.S. hit - it was the follow up, 'Hungry Like The Wolf' which broke the U.S. for them.

The Clash - This Is Radio Clash

Flop single from 1981, except in Sweden where it reached No.9 - a year later.

Shock Therepy - Can Do What I Want

One year too early.

Fad Gadget - Back To Nature

Again, one year too early.

John Carpenter - The Bank Robbery

One of the most infamous show howlers. The song comes from the 1981 movie 'Escape From New York' ... except it never made it to the soundtrack and indeed remained unknown to the general public until making it on a collection of 21st century 'lost' soundtrack tunes.

The best known example of the show's producers self-indulging rather than keeping things on theme.

Season Three -  It's meant to be 1985, but ...

Stray Cats - Rock This Town

Not only was it four years too late, but the band had split two years earlier and were by that time in the zeitgeist regarded as something of a joke - an attempted reunion in 1986 ended in near empty halls and humiliation all round, as by this time more visually appealing bands like King Kurt and The Cramps had taken up whatever rockabilly audience remained.

Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight

This walking abortion of a song from a walking abortion of a band encapsulated everything bland and faux about the 1980s, but it wasn't until the summer of 1986 it appeared.

Go-Go's - Get Up And Go

From 1984 - by which time the Go-Go's had messily folded and were already forgotten. By the following year, the success of Belinda Carlisle further hastened their erasure from the zeitgeist, and it’s only in recent years their ‘legacy’ has been reappraised.

Foreigner - Cold As Ice

Those involved in the show seem to have a major hard on for Foreigner, but putting this song, which sound dated enough upon its release in 1977 - never mind 1985 - was beyond belief.

Trevor Jones - The Pod Dance

Taken from 1983's 'The Dark Crystal' soundtrack - just about the only time having a tune vastly out of place song worked, during the painful to watch sequence where Will attempts to get two of his friends to play a session of Dungeons & Dragons, unable to accept that their interests have moved on to girls - Will's timing being especially poor as both are suffering crises in their respective puppy love lives.

Will - already silly looking enough with his pudding bowl haircut - appears utterly ludicrous to the point of disturbing in a purple wizard outfit complete with hat and starry cloak (he looks like the sort of children's entertainer that gets arrested on child molestation charges), trying aggressively to get his friends to care less.

You'd have to go back to the film 'Ghostworld' for a better sequence of watching childhood friends drifting apart, and 'Stranger Things' succeeded in five minutes what it took a whole film to do, and the choice of music was perfect.

By contrast ...

Dame Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again One of the songs of World War Two, especially to armed forces personnel being sent across the world with the very real prospect of never seeing their loved ones again, it's often been used ironically (eg. the multiple nuclear bomb ending of the film 'Dr Strangelove'), it was also the first single to feature a synthesiser (yes, really!)

Its use at the end of the episode where evil Billy has escaped back to the spider monster thing's lair, knowing now Eleven and the rest of the meddling kids are onto them, is jarring.

Possum River - Stand Up and Meet Your Brother

From 1971 - complete self indulgence. Didn't even go with the carnival sequence.

Yello - Goldrush

A full year too early.

Hmmmmm, onward to Season Four, which is all about The Ginger One, well it will need to have a bloody amazing script to pull it off, as she was someone only stomachable in small doses at the best of times ...
