It's DNA

I was watching Smough's video, and he featured this sacred seal from the Erdtree peoples who were inspired by the Hornsent peoples.

The Land of the Tower (Hornsent) considered helixes as some kind of divine geometry/symbol. The double helix is notably calls to mind either the Caduceus symbol of medicine (twin snakes in a double helix - wink nudge nudge) OR...

It looks like a strand of DNA.

The Crucible wasnt just the primordial form of the Erd Tree. It was the primordial form of Everything - all living beings. To be Crucible blessed like the Hornsent is to acquire a mixture of active genes that would be have been recessive otherwise- thats why you get wings, horns, tails. (We share 90% or so of our DNA with like flies or bananas!)

Everyone is technically born from the Crucible and (as Marika proves by birthing OMEN sons) the Hornsent/Shaman are the same species!! Again recessive genes that get activated maybe?

And guess what? Splicing, grafting - that could be done to trees... or DNA... Godrick's prized practice is essentially a revised version of what the Crucible does naturally to living creatures.

The Crucible = The Gene Pool

Learning about POTS, especially @mamoru's blogging about it and the dysautonomia health conference, has made me suspect... it's the sneaky bastard behind my chronic illness. Or, the start point!

POTS can just kinda happen to you. It did to me, though it was diagnosed a while after more notable things happened to my body. But. Around when my chronic illness kicked off, early 2020, a few other things happened which seemed unrelated:

-a random full body allergic rash, which turned into just a dry rash on my right hand and now reoccurs each spring — a sudden new hay fever allergy (I'd never had any allergies before)

-dizziness and blacking out when standing too quick or moving (classic POTS symptom)

-pins and needles when my feet fell asleep went from numb & annoying to Absolute AGONY, the worst pain, prone to happening extremely quickly amd kicking in after I take a few steps

-Lactose intolerance after being a lifelong dairyhead

-my horrible horrible chronic health issues began

....knowing POTS is linked to immune system things makes me consider: i might have developed it, and it may have caused these new allergies and even my chronic illness. I thought of it as just a weird other thing i noticed i might have a year or two post my other health changes.

ladies and gays, she's doing a tag game! call the papers! (thanks @jrooc for tagging me, i love you deeply and dearly!)

name: macy mouse

location: chicagoooooooo

age: 31

are you sick right now with a cold, flu or other non-life-threatening but deeply obnoxious illness: no acute illness, no, just chronic ones!

when you're sick are you a get-up-and-just-work-through-it kinda person or a lie-in-bed-and-moan-loudly-and-not-move kinda person? lie around and moan. i rarely, rarely get sick despite being chronically ill so when i do i'm always convinced i'm dying

what's your ultimate comfort drink when you're under the weather: hot peppermint tea with a god-awful amount of honey

are there any superstitions or things you do that you believe will make you get better faster? i am 100% convinced that a spoonful of hot sauce will rid you of any illness

do you take vitamin C or any other herbal remedies or do you think that's all non-scientific nonsense? aside from my prescribed meds, i only take magnesium for heart health, sleep, and anxiety. i'm supposed to be taking these vitamin D3 supplements my doctor gave me but i'm afraid of them so i haven't started those yet. but when it comes to curbing colds and flus, i am 100% in the camp that vitamin C, chicken soup, and Vick's VapoRub cures all

when you were young and got to stay home from school what was your favorite show to watch (or thing to do whatever)? i would watch The Price is Right and I Love Lucy, or when i was really little i'd watch The Little Mermaid on repeat. i also loved making a "nest" out of my stuffed animals to recover in, which i lowkey still do

is there a secret favourite part you have to being sick? not having to leave my house/interact with people. not that i do that much anyway, it just removes some of the guilt

worst part about being sick: being bored

who do you think would be the worst patient? Ian or Mickey? Mickey, 100%. he likes to talk a big game but i just know the second he gets the sniffles he's done for. i think they're both definitely Difficult when they're not feeling well but something about Mickey just screams "ailing drama queen" to me

one of my goals this year is to Try New Foods and im aiming for twelve, so one a month. Today I tried the korean spicy chicken puffs from Costco and theyre really good! I didnt think they were that spicy so I ate a bunch at once and learned the spice is a slow burn :')

they taste like licking the floor of a familiar restaurant but i cant bring to mind which one. this is a compliment.

Wt 189

I am not going to feel bad about 189 when I spent many many years at 289.

I felt like I was getting sick again on Saturday. I went to bed around 7.

Sunday was full of chores. There was some off plan eating but eh- it could have been worse.

I started a jug of fire cider and a jar of garlic honey.
