#im a medical mess

[queenofbaws]

apologies if i've been a little too rah-rah in my personal posts lately but i have been very very sick for a very very long time and today i took a walk where the breeze was a little warmer than i expected and i stopped to get myself a little beverage and popped into a store i never go into to buy a little loaf of homemade sourdough bread and i felt like i'd never get to this point so

i'm sending an especially strong wave of good vibes to my chronic illness and spoonie buds out there today 🫶 there will be beautiful days

Wait so Dev STILL needs a cane anyway? Oh the irony.

There are days where he does need it and days where he doesn't!

the notion that if you legally obtain a drug for medical reasons you cant get addicted to it has done irreparable harm. we dont, like, remove the addictive part when we hand people their prescription vyvanse, thats not possible. people with adhd get addicted to stimulants that were made to treat adhd all. the. time. adhd doesnt make you immune. the hottest "street version" of adderall is just... adderall. dealers do just stock straight up adderall, and lots of the people obtaining it illegally do have adhd

im not saying dont take what you need, amphetamines changed my fucking life, but i am saying you need to be careful and watch for signs of addiction. it can happen to you too, and sharing myths about how good adhd-havers have magic wards against addiction, unlike those filthy druggies who obviously never have adhd, has a substantial negative impact that i have seen firsthand. you cannot convince me that "be careful with adhd stimulants" is an ableist sentence. use what you need, but dont ignore signs of addiction. we are not immune

The two tfc mercs that I find the most fun to write. They also happen to have the most intense one-sided beef upon first meeting

.

Due to (most) of fandom's opinion being that cmedic (as tf2 medic's exact opposite) was a relatively nice dude, several of those angels made the unfortunate decision to join my version of BLU- hence priming mercs like cdemo to get used to pushing medics around by the time the current cmedic got employed.

Cdemo to me is like,,a very tactile fratbro who initially treats everyone as a buddy (before that same attitude takes completely different meanings depending on who he sees as lame) and is quite overbearing at times, but legitimately an expert at what he does despite acting like a bonehead. He can either be a ride-or-die friend, or that dude who shoved kids in lockers back in highschool.

I'm trying to find a balance of 'endearing little freak' and 'a product of their time' to the tfc cast (keyword here is Balance, im not going out to write full-on bigots). I wish I could say more about them but im pretty shy about making my fic public lol

James being both a repairman/robotics expert and a medic is funny to me because he's 100% more gentle with fixing machines than he probably is with people. And it probably also makes Arcade jealous as hell and fuels his disdain towards robots when he sees James being so sweet about repairing them

i was so proud of myself for being such a big brave girl about this appointment, but now it's the day of and i've metamorphosed into a little baby bitch 🥺 cracked outta that cocoon shivering and shuddering, let me tell you. real goo goo ga ga behavior over here

Besides some more character bios needing editing, I'm ready for AF2024!

I'm sorry to ask since this may be an important plot element that you might not want to immediately disclose, but will the aforementioned nonconsensual medical procedures/body modifications/alterations in the comic be irreversible?

Irreversible nonconsensual medical procedures/body modification/alteration is a pretty big trigger of mine and this could potentially make or break my ability to read the comic.

If this is a prominent plot element in the comic, would you mind adding this to the tags or clarifying the nature of the medical procedures/body modifications/alterations please? I've really enjoyed your work thus far and I'd like to continue to do so while also being mindful of my own limitations.

Trigger warnings > Plot secrecy

Yes, a lot of what happens in the comic will be irreversible. While all of differing severity, the least severe is the removal and synthetic replacement of bones from a limb. It just kind of gets worse from there, but the worst ones usually have the subject that they've been performed on, uh, die. On accident. That one is consensual, though. Technically.

What happened to Luz and Eda in your Acolyte au? Has Hunter ever met King?

Hunter has met king but they never really had a one on one conversation, because King pretends he doesnt talk (distrusts everyone) , King terrorizes Hunter every now and then by whispering things and then pretending he didnt say anything, just to make Hunter feel crazy, their relationship is terrible because Belos actively pits em against each other.

Eda and Luz have remained largely the same, tho i would believe Eda is more closed on herself , then again without any excuse to always remain at the owl house taking care of King she does end up inevitably going out more trying to get into fruitless relationships to get over Raine (doesnt rlly work of course, i think they would end up meeting again a bit earlier), i think it would be funny if King still ends up snooping around her diary when he gets stuck at the Owl House n sees she had a fling with the head of the bard coven , he absolutely tries using this information in the future.

i know this has been said before but MAN. it really is astounding how many times i, a person with painfully-tired-all-the-time syndrome disorder disease, think to myself:

(≖_≖) ...why in god's name am i so painfully tired today???

like girl please. we know this one. no need to pull out the conspiracy board and string, i think we've solved this particular riddle.
