Rena acts as an older sister figure to the rest of the group, being happy to listen to any problems they may have and answer any questions they have about college life since some of them will be going to college within the college. However, she is not very helpful when it comes to more creative problems as those subjects were never her specialty. Rena hopes to become a chemist that specialises in creating drugs for illnesses that have yet to find cures. She gained this goal after a childhood friend lost their mother to a rare illness. Despite moving away, she still keeps in contact with this friend and has their full support.

TDIH: Yeiki Kobashigawa's bravery in Italy
On this day in 2005, a hero passes away. Yeiki Kobashigawa served our country bravely during World War II, risking his life repeatedly on a battlefield in Italy. The Hawaiian-born Japanese American would eventually receive a Medal of Honor for his actions.
Kobashigawa had been working on a sugar plantation when he was drafted into the Army late in 1941. Just a few short weeks later, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. That attack made life difficult for all Japanese Americans, of course, but it created special difficulties for those who were already in the military.
“When Pearl Harbor was attacked,” the National World War II Museum explains, “[Kobashigawa] rushed from his baseball game back to his training base only to have his rifle taken away."
The story continues here: https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-yeiki-kobashigawa-moh

plots please ( if you'd like ^^ )
send me " plots please " | @cryopathiic gets some suggestions!
Tumblr media
ofc i'd like to!! these are the most fleshed-out ideas i got rn, but no worries if none of them jump out at you -- we can always figure something else out!
she's freshest on my mind right now, so i gotta suggest a friendship of sorts between bronwyn and douma! i just think they'd be fun to write together bc of their respective personalities, and out of all my muses, she'd have no issue with the whole " being a demon who eats people " thing. after all, she eats human hearts on occasion herself. as for how they'd meet, i can see maybe one of douma's followers making a deal with her or bronwyn just waltzing into the temple like some kinda tourist asdfg given that that would be allowed, ofc! she doesn't have a kny verse yet, but i feel like it wouldn't be too odd for that universe if another type of supernatural creature existed.
i've also thought it could be interesting for an au in which either satsuki and hyouka or kaiya ( prior to becoming a demon, that is ) find refuge at douma's temple. the kobashigawa siblings lose their other family members to a demon, so i think it'd be :' )) so unfortunate if the haven they find is run by a demon, too. and i'm just a sucker for plots that involve being close to danger and needing to figure it out before it's too late. douma could be amused by them, but i dunno if he'd put up with them if they try to expose what he is.
with an au involving kaiya, i'm thinking perhaps her husband is a member of douma's temple, and she gets roped into it once they marry. it comes down to whether you think douma would find her interesting enough to care about her situation, but tbh, at this point in her life when she's very much struggling emotionally and mentally, if her husband " disappeared, " kaiya would be grateful and incredibly guilty about feeling that way : ) she's normally a sweet, bubbly bean, and ofc i gotta put her through something that makes her question her own moral standing and whether she should trust the person who saved her from a monster when that person turns out to be a monster themself <3

We're Back, A Blog Story?
Hey, long time no see, huh? 
I'm back from the longest hiatus this blog's ever gone on. And for today's entry, I'm just going to briefly recap what's been going on because I think it'll touch on a lot. 
Last time I updated, I did the second part of a big ask me almost anything and we covered a lot of ground, both fun and the sort of questions that're burning for upcoming  creators. That week, I was thinking about what was next and how to follow it up. And then IDW underwent significant layoffs and it threw things off for me and plenty of other folks. I am still at IDW, but a lot of my friends and co-workers suddenly were not.
For what it's worth, I know a lot of them are still seeking employment. This includes, among others, Anna Morrow, Megan Brown, Devon Ashby, Zac Boone, Julia Borden, Keith Davidsen, Alex Hargett, Greg Gustin, Blake Kobashigawa, Jonathan Manning, Shawn Lee, Jack Levesque, Hanna Lafferty, Topher Alford, Nachie Marsham, and seriously, so many folks. I apologize to anyone I missed. If you're looking for experienced sales, marketing, production, foreign licensing, or editorial folks, there're a ton of good ones still on the market (as an aside, my pals Chris Mowry and Caleb Goellner are also fairly freshly available). 
That was pretty freshly on my mind for Becca's next event, Fangaea, that weekend. I had mentioned that last post. It went alright. I did not stay for very long because even a little one day show like that was a lot in light of what had just happened. 
Within the next week, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Currently, they are still on strike. You can check out what they're asking for here. Unsurprisingly, a lot of it boils down to fair wages, especially in the newer forms of media that have become commonplace over the past 15 years. There's more, like treating each writer in a writing team as an individual and, hey, not using AI. At the end of their negotiation table, the WGA points out that the benefits and raises they're asking for come out to about $429 million per year across all members of the guild and split between all negotiating companies. That may sound like a LOT of money, right? I checked. As of today, with it available for home release, you can still see the Super Mario Bros. Movie in theaters in San Diego. It's box office is over $1.3 billion. Even when you remove the budget for the film, approximately $100 million, the proceeds of just this movie could fully fund everything the writers are asking for, multiple times. (Also, again as an aside, while the Writers Guild is performing a strike action, they can do that because they're a union and other places are increasingly seeking unionization, like SEGA of America). 
So, all of that is happening BEFORE Free Comic Book Day. As you may recall, we went to Geoffrey's Comics in Torrance, CA. Becca and I both exhibited with a bunch of our friends. It was a good time, though it made for an exhausting weekend with me spending a near-sleepless night in the ER before we drove up (I was fine, best guess is some nasty inflammation, but we'll come back to this). And then the next day, we went back up to the greater Los Angeles area for a California Independent Booksellers Alliance event and the launch of Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story by Sarah Kuhn, Arielle Jovellanos, and Olivia Pecini at the Ripped Bodice (trips to LA will also come up again). It made for a very busy weekend. And then...
ER time again, bay-bee! I try not to talk about this stuff publicly too much because I do believe it's our private biz, but Becca's been dealing with an ongoing health thing for over a year now and most days it is under control and better, and last month, it was pretty regularly bad for a bit. There're appointments scheduled, but it's a whole thing because the American healthcare system sucks eggs. To that end, if you are sick in San Diego, if at alllllll possible, I really don't recommend Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest. An ER so bad, we had to go twice in one day! And, as you can imagine, it also hasn't been great to our finances, nor our time, nor our mental health dealing with all of that on such a regular basis. Just a reminder that I've got a shop here and Becca has one here and a Patreon and we probably have other channels we're on. We're doing okay, and Becca's certainly in a better place with their health now, but the occasional plug probably doesn't hurt. Plus, you can get lots of cool stuff in return! 
From dealing with that stress over a couple of weeks, I left Becca at home (and fortunately everything was fine that weekend) and flew off to Atlanta to go do Editor's Day at SCAD Atlanta. It was my first time on campus in a few years and, as every time I've done it, I was supremely impressed with all the amazing work of the students in the program. A big part of the day is doing portfolio reviews and it's so interesting to see the wide array of styles and interests in different parts of sequential storytelling. While I was out there, got to see my best friend in person for the first time in years and confirmed they'll be in the wedding party, so that was nice.
Then we had a couple more casual weeks. Becca's folks came into town as a late Mother's Day/early Becca's birthday celebration. Becca and I went up to LA again to celebrate their birthday with some of our friends (and, as it turns out, it feels like we're increasingly knowing folks in LA over San Diego, which is kinda weird). That was all a nice reprieve from all the comics busyness--mostly because we told our friends no business talk at the party--but was no less busy than the rest of our recent weeks. 
Again, as an aside, right around then, the Screen Actors Guild authorized their own strike, joining the WGA. The Directors Guild, to my understanding, was able to enter reasonable negotiations, though many directors are still of course standing by the strike action and on the picket line. Meanwhile, many entertainment companies, be they movies, video games, or comics, have continued/started layoffs, not in reaction to any of the strikes directly, but certainly inspiring more reasons to be on the line.  
Which brings us to a little over a week ago. You may be familiar with the works of cartoonist Ian McGinty. He's done licensed and original comics and animation work. By all accounts, an incredibly kind person. The sort of artist who brings out the best in his peers, going back to his SCAD days. He unexpectedly passed away on the 8th of this month and because he had been prolific and because he worked so much and because he worked in comics, the conversation did turn to how it happened. 
The conversation turned to #ComicsBrokeMe on Twitter. It's a hugely important conversation for anyone in this industry to really let sink in. It is stories from creators--often young, often marginalized--talking about the ways in which the comics industry has at least mistreated and at worst physically ailed them. I've read many of them. If you can sort through the less favorable responses of "that's the way it is" or "comics has only made me stronger" or "sometimes it seems bad but then it isn't" or what have you, like I said, these are important reads of stories that're all too common, too similar. And, it isn't about dwelling on the negative--which some of the ultra-positivity I've seen about comics in it's wake seems to have misinterpreted--it's about an industry without unions, unable to go on strike, trying to come to terms with and negotiate in much the same manner that the WGA is. 
Also, I went to Sonic Revolution last weekend and that was fun. And my final LA trip for a while (fingers crossed). 
That's what I've been up to. That's what the industry has been up to. It has been busy and stressful for me and seemingly for lots of folks all over. All I can say is do take care of yourself to the best of your abilities, if you have the means, take care of others, and keep an eye on all of this because it is a shift waiting to happen. 
Next week, if I'm actually back, we'll get back to the regular features. For now, I am going to pick Becca up from work, we're going to see Across the Spider-Verse, and I think they'll be streaming on Twitch tonight, though maybe a little late because of the movie? 
P.S. I've been so busy, I haven't like, written anything in weeks. Here's hoping that changes soon.  P.S.S. I also haven't read Void Rivals yet. Best of luck to Skybound with the TF and Joe licenses.

UNPROMPTED ASK || ALWAYS ACCEPTING @tvrningout said: “ oh! ” hyouka notices the suspicious plant dangling above them only thanks to her crow drawing her attention to it. “ mistletoe! guess that means you gotta kiss me haru, ” she grins, offering her cheek… before surprising her friend with a big ol’ smooch on his cheek!
Tumblr media
large influx of patients have been arriving at the estate in recent weeks at the butterfly estate, likely something to do with the longer nights during this cold month, giving an advantage & most importantly time to hunt their victims. the attendants' daily lives have certainly become a lot of busier & rarely had time for leisure. therefore, as he was about to rush into the kitchen to carry back the patients' meal for lunch for that day, haru did not notice a suspicious-looking plant dangling from the top of the door frame.
Tumblr media
❝ hyouka-chan, what are you doing out of bed? i thought aoi-chan told you to stay in the infirmary to rest. your scars still haven't healed yet. ❞ it appeared they were both clueless about the plant as the flame breather did not see it was dangling above them either. he looked above & saw the suspicious plant was no other than mistletoe! ❝ well, i suppose those are the rules, aren't they? i'm not that familiar with foreign traditions... ❞
the sudden kiss on the cheek took the young male by surprise, but a bold action like that was not entirely unexpected or unusual from someone like kobashigawa hyouka. he offers a soft smile in return, ❝ oh, thank you, hyouka-chan, hehe. i did not notice someone put mistletoe up there earlier. i'll go grab your lunch & lead you back to the infirmary.❞

Clinical Guide to Heart Transplantation by Jon Kobashigawa, ISBN-13: 978-3319437712 [PDF eBook eTextbook] Publisher: ‎ Springer; 1st ed. 2017 edition (April 12, 2017) Language: ‎ English 270 pages ISBN-10: ‎ 3319437712 ISBN-13: ‎ 978-3319437712 This is a concise review of up-to-date concepts and techniques in the discipline of heart transplantation. It is a review and reference for practitioners managing patients with advanced heart disease, including patients with end-stage heart failure, mechanical circulatory support or transplant recipients. Heart failure is a major public health issue, with a prevalence of over 5.8 million in the USA, and over 23 million worldwide, and rising. The lifetime risk of developing heart failure is one in five. Heart failure carries substantial morbidity and mortality, with 5-year mortality that rival those of many cancers. As heart transplantation remains the best treatment option for patients with end stage heart failure, this primer will provide valuable information and management strategies for physicians caring for these patients. Also, due to continued shortage in donor organs, heart transplantation is a limited resource – which further underscores the importance of appropriately evaluating patients for transplant candidacy and managing their pre, peri- and post-transplant care for maximum benefit and best outcomes.​ This handbook is an easy reference for those involved in the management of heart transplant. While this compilation of best practices cannot address the complexity of the individual patients we care for on a daily basis, it will serve to help us ask the right questions, access the best evidence and ultimately make the best decisions for the patients involved. Clinical Guide to Heart Transplantation provides a current review of the field of heart transplantation and how it has evolved into an established therapy for the treatment of end-stage heart failure. With the advent of improved surgical techniques, the development of immunosuppressive drugs and the utilization of more sophisticated monitoring strategies and treatments for graft rejection, heart transplantation now offer patients an avenue to both improved survival and quality of life. With over 4000 heart transplants performed per year globally and with 1-year survival approaching 90%, this practical title assists those involved in the this most complex of procedures to establish best practice. It is therefore essential reading for all practitioners in this field, charged with making critical decisions in the management of patients, donor organs, and the transplant process itself in order to achieve the greatest benefit in the utilization of this often scarce resource. Jon Kobashigawa, MD, is the DSL/Thomas D. Gordon professor of Medicine, director of the Advanced Heart Disease Section, director of the Heart Transplant Program and the associate director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute as well as the associate director of the Comprehensive Transplant Center of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He received his undergraduate degree at Stanford University and earned his medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. He is a past president of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation, past chair of the American College of Cardiology Committee on Heart Failure and Transplantation, and past member of the United Network of Organ Sharing National Thoracic Committee. Dr. Kobashigawa is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in heart transplantation. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, chapters and monographs in the field of heart failure and transplantation and has chaired several multicenter clinical studies. Dr. Kobashigawa has organized and chaired several International Consensus Conferences to discuss pertinent questions regarding heart failure and heart transplant. He lectures at universities around the world and has mentored several young physicians who have ascended to important academic positions throughout the country.
