I'm just a 30yo who enjoy a very sexy adult show about demons in hell but ALSO have been a horse girl at heart since I was a child so.. Naturally I play horse games on occasion.... and I dedicate some horses to characters I like. So have some Stolitz in horse format. I feel like Blitz would be proud

My husband thought I should post this

[fatal-blow]

something i think about constantly is this one guy at the nursing home i used to work at whose hands and fingers had crumpled in on themselves, not as a fist but sorta like an accordian or a zigzag, where one set of joints was pulled into the palm but the tips of the fingers were pulled outwards

and the last time i was at my nana's, i noticed the tips of a couple of her fingers had something similar going on, where it looked like the tip of the middle was permantly pulled to the side, making it crooked at the end

and my mother of course with all the health problems as me has the same crooked fingers, all pulled in similar directions

all of them say that arthritis caused it

if i look at my own hands, the tip of my middle finger peels backwards, which i was told was a symptom of Ehlers-Danlos, hypermobility, where the fingers would overextend themselves. the knuckle of my ring ringer doesn't jut out as much either, and my pinkie fingers are typically stiff and lately, as i continue my treatment, it almost feels like they're getting pulled off to the side as well. ive even developed a small callous on the palm right below the pinkie, where the bone seems to press against (and theres no other reason i would have a callous there)

i also think about how arthritis is supposed to start in the extremities, the hands and feet, and again in my feet it's the pinkie toe that's crunched up and pulled to the side, and the pinkie toe which i first noticed was getting less crunched as i continue treatment

and it all just perfectly aligns with the muscle tension patterns characteristic of neander foot/morton's foot. the primary compensation pattern is turning the feet outwards (to make the big toe reach the ground properly), which overuses the fibularis muscles. the fibularis brevis muscle in particular connects to the beginning of the pinkie toe, like so

...so if that muscle is overtight, which toe is going to get pulled out of place first? the pinkie toe.

and all that would perfectly explain why overusing muscles can lead to arthritis, because that's what arthrtis is: muscles that get so, so, so overtight that the joints themselves can become damaged just from how hard the muscle is pulling on them, damage which accumulates overtime and gets progressively worse because, well, you can't just not use your muscles

and it's??? treatable??? even has a distinct cause???? im curing my own arthritis??????? hello???

if you're ever trying to not get sucked into a fandom, never ever ever ever let yourself be exposed to fanart of the two characters holding hands. that will be the moment that seals your fate

saw an artist make fanart of a female character and said they loved drawing her more masc . The only thing they changed was giving her a bigger nose.
