cressida herself is disconnected from everything. the only times we see her are during conversations about men or putting her against helen - this even happens when shes not around!! the first time shes mentioned is a comparison between her and helen. and its in that same conversation (or end of it.) that troilus remarks he has no way of getting to her outside of her uncle. wait let me - ok so what i was orginally getting at is that all the characters Know eachother. the greeks with the greeks and all the trojans shown are Known to eachother in the way of family or they work together etc. cressida doesnr have this! she doesnt know hektor or helen or achilles or whoever personally. shes a nobody if it wasnt for troilus courting her

heres what i was thinking of. he calls her ‘stubborn-caste’ which is ironic considering what shes Known for. its Also ironic he brings up apollo and his love for daphne..

cressida is someone who does not exist without the men around her and any glimmer of person she has is shot down as a negative. her actions are scruntized without much thought when shes very much set up as a woman doing what she needs to to survive

These are called Witches Stairs. Allegedly, witches can't climb up them.

You will occasionally find them in very, very old New England homes.

A tea "gangster"

This is the gongfu method of brewing tea (功夫茶藝):

刮沫 (gua1mo4) Rotating the tilted lid around the outer edge of the cup to remove foam

搓茶 (cuo1cha2) Rotating the lid around the inside to press on the tea leaves and release their fragrance

搖香 (yao2xiang1) Putting the lid on, then tilting and turning the whole cup to let the excess spill out

入海 (ru4hai3) Pouring out the tea (first onto the "tea pet", then after refilling, into teacups)

蝶舞 (die2wu3) Turning over the saucer and place the cup on top

(There are more steps but OP didn't do them)

maybe some have heard already, but on a page with info on Deep Cut in BancalaWalker, Frye's species is listed as... "eel".

Both Japanese fans and people on the english side who have heard have been going crazy over this bombshell, but it's also too weird to the point where it is suspected to be a misprint.

Thankfully, a JP twitter user has contacted Kadokawa, the publisher, to confirm whether or not this is a misprint.

It is a misprint! Frye really is a regular Inkling, not an eel!

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

you know if this was 2021, the rogue-not-so-rogue translator confirming three months ago that he doesn't just add stuff in dubs and most likely the video and script had Dean saying it back, destiel would be trending for days

my lovely mutuals and followers and circle of dykes. i am BEGGING YOU to stop reblogging that "NSAIDS while on spiro damages your liver" post. there have been MANY additions in the comments expanding on the risk factors of mixing these medications (and i HIGHLY recommend looking in the comments. @/boringkate assesses the risk beautifully in there, and many others are in the reblogs expanding on the interactions and risks as well). all those aside - the major risk of mixing NSAIDs and any diuretic (not limited to, but including ibuprofen snd spiro) is RENAL (KIDNEY) PROBLEMS!!! NOT LIVER!!! and the most frequent version ive seen to that post does Not do a good enough job clarifying that "renal function" is related to your kidneys, not your liver. there are some effects that will happen on the liver eventually of course, but the premise of the interactions is wrong in and of itself and this kind of misinformation is kind of dangerous to just take at face value/without curiousity

i encourage you to read the actual drugs.com summary on the interactions between NSAIDs and spiro that keeps being referenced in that post (more on this under the cut). it is a moderate interaction manageable with increased hydration (your kidneys love water!) and, if you're taking spiro under the supervision of a doctor, monitoring of your renal function via blood tests. and i understand feeling betrayed learning there are potential interactions between all NSAIDs and diuretics because these risks are often not clearly communicated by doctors themselves, but in the pharmacy and usually in that packet that comes with your meds that most people are more likely to toss than read - but please do not make sudden rapid changes to your healthcare plans or work yourself into a panic on ever taking a pain med ever again based on that post and PLEASE fact check things you read on the internet before spreading it as Health Facts, even if its just looking up what different words mean to understand more of what you're reading. i also really do encourage y'all to read on how kidneys work and this is a really nice overview

the risk of kidney problems mostly occurs if you are (1) taking regular doses of both medications (2) NOT drinking enough fluids (3) not communicating with your doctor about all the medications you are taking. if you are taking spiro as a treatment provided by a doctor and are worried about kidney problems after that post, by all means talk to them and ask about getting a blood test to check your kidneys function/health!! im not discouraging this!! your doctor likely isnt bringing this up in the first place though because (in my cursory glance over the sources) many of these studies cited even in the drugs.com article "specific" to ibuprofen and spiro are about a variety of diuretics interactions with a variety of NSAIDs. the ones that arent paywalled are also either acute case studies about elderly patients on diuretics (so who Already have kidney problems/elimination issues) who developed heart issues after diuretics treatement or observational studies specifically on men in good health ages 20-38 to specifically look at drug interactions in the body. in the more acute cases, with proper management/alternative medications almost every single case was reversible and resolvable. many of these medications in these papers also are ones I have not heard of or taken, so i did look up every single drug i didnt recognize by name references to confirm my initial assumption that the reason this is labeled a Moderate instead of low risk interaction is because All NSAIDS and diuretics have potential interactions (confirmed also that the major effect is that NSAIDS have the potential to reduce the efficacy of diuretics, which leads to fluid and salt retention, which can lead to other issues - namely heart issues in the most extreme cases) with variable effects based on specific combination of the drugs used, the patients specific health, and the dosage (not just the size of dose, but the timing as well).

as an aside: if you habitually are taking frequent (read: daily/scheduled, not a one off for a headache or other body pains) doses of OTC NSAIDs, Regardless of taking diuretics, you NEED to tell your doctor because even though its available over the counter (at least in the US) it is still a major medication in your life/relevant to your physiochemistry!! OTC medications are often overlooked by doctors and people alike because they are seen as ubiquitous and to many doctors OTC pain meds, like NSAIDS, are assumed be used in acute pain situations where the dosage is minimal/infrequent enough it will likely have little to no long term effect with other medications.

been chatting with a friend who's playing through PN2 again and i want it to be known i will not hear anyone say a WORD about Hollis giving Raz a hard time at the beginning of the game. if anything she is OUTSTANDINGLY accommodating to this random ten-year-old who wandered in unattended off the plane in the middle of an extremely tense situation

Couldn’t stop thinking about Dust being able to pass as Classic. So I had an idea where Dust replaces Classic in a timeline and steals(?) his partner.

He gets conflicted when he starts actually caring about you… But denial is an easy road to take when there’s seemingly no consequences to your actions.

The reveal i guess. Most normal reaction to learning your partners been replaced for god knows how long and you have no clue where he is.

Now that I think about it I might’ve gotten some inspiration from that one chapter of IJAG by @htsan (iykyk) only a lil bit tho

(Full rambling of the idea + extra sketch cuz i liked the expression) ↓↓

I originally wanted y/n to notice the differences instantly but i think it would be angstier if they didn’t and only noticed like months later >:3

so back in 2021, i started this bit with some old friends where i roleplayed spy tf2 (particularly red spy) as married to kirby character and staple king dedede, his beautiful wife who is also transfem. it started out as a joke but i um. i really do love king dedede like shes my wife. and also, back in the day, red spy became my persona somehow? it's a long story lost to time and old servers...

anyway this is a redraw of the original spydedede doodle sheet (which ive contained below the cut, as, again. it's very old art from 2021) i wanted to draw the happy couple for my birfday <3 part 2 of birfday art will come tomorrow on the actual date :P
