#long complicated sentences

[heytherecentaurs]

I wrote the worst paragraph today intentionally to fuck with my friends. It’s the kind of monstrosity you typically only see in papers published in academic journals.

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

cursed again by a super complicated and confused chapter

[glitteringcrab]

They built a wall around infinity

What is the Central Finite Curve wall made of???

Is it some random sci-fi stuff like "sub-ether barrier"?

Well, if the theory that the colour yellow is associated with brain stuff is true, I'd like to point out the following:

1. The ultra beam Eyepatch Morty shot through the Citadel to bring down the Curve was yellow:

It became stronger after Eyepatch Morty infused it with blender-ed Ricks and Mortys:

Why did that work??

How could that have possibly pierced through some sort of dimensional wall? Is it really just a matter of something as "benign" as calibration or killing them to be thorough?

2. And who else, apart from Eyepatch Morty, had been collecting the bloodied remains of Mortys in vats?

Why, the Citadel Ricks.

That's... odd.

Did they collect physically "defective" or misbehaving clones before disposing them all off in one go?

Was it a slaughterhouse, with excess rickless Mortys being sent to death?

Was it a sort of punishment to terrorize Mortys into obedience?

Was it a sort of execution for criminal Mortys?

Was the number of Mortys dying in the Citadel from horrible living conditions simply that high, that they needed to be collected and disposed off in a special way?

Could be any of the above really... But even at the first time I watched this episode I thought that was odd.

(...and why have portals that apparently do nothing but spew blood... Where did that blood come from?)

(Is it Rick blood...?)

3. Rick says this concerning their brainwaves:

He's making it sound like it's just a matter of detection. Visibility. Camouflage. Nothing actually substantial, just a matter of stealth.

...says Morty, referring to his "camouflage" properties.

...replies Rick, which seems kinda redundant, doesn't it?

He agrees with Morty that "Morty is more than a human shield", but the only actual "more" thing in Rick's subsequent description of Morty is the phrase "perfect impenetrable".

Is he just rubbing in Morty's face how effective he is as camouflage?

...Or is he talking about something else?

Something... truly impenetrable...?

What. IS. The. "Wall around infinity". Made. Of??????

(...is it like... crystallized brainwaves of Mortys who died painfully...?)

(I mean, if you can crystallize time, and infuse a freaking liquid with code that allows it to pierce through dimensions, why not also be able to liquify and project brainwaves?)

Snogging Rebecca was like making out with a grandfather clock: intimidatingly large and elegant, with more hidden complexity than you might first imagine.

What's your opinion on Redacted Audio?

I haven't listened to his stuff in a long time (like 2 - 2½ years? Something like that) but I remember him being really talented!

I don't remember a lot about his stories/characters because my memory is concerningly bad lmao, but I do remember enjoying them. I got distracted and forgot they existed for a little bit (again, horrible memory lol) and by the time I "rediscovered" his stuff I was so behind that I was (and still am) scared to even try to catch up lmao

But yeah! From what I remember his stuff is cool

WIP Wednesday: Turbulent, grin, and padding?

✨ send me a word & find it in my wip! ✨

It wasn’t what Bradley should have had- a grief-free life with two parents, and all the stability and certainty they could offer- but it was a lot better than the things Maverick had been given to work with when he was Bradley’s age, so he’d been able to even out the balances as best he could, despite the turbulent nature of the scale.

And, well, he had been going for lighthearted, but his tone just isn’t quite right and maybe neither are the words, because there’s this pained little shift around Bradley’s eyes, and he looks away for a moment, gathering himself in the time it takes for Mav’s attempted grin to fade.

It’s shy on padding and generous on springs, hard on his back and his legs and his neck, but that is a small price to pay for the proximity, and its constant promise that Mav is alright, that maybe they both can be.

well what do you know! the first one in a long time i can check off all the way lol <3 it was a satisfying and fun experience!! thank u so much for the ask friend!! <3

I actually do have very complex thoughts about many different things, it’s just a bit challenging to connect the inner voice to the outer voice sometimes </3

hold up tho, that's not what that question is for, not really. the questionnaires doctors give you are a screening tool. they are made to be a quick and dirty, very key-note generalized breakdown of ur life so ur doctor has an idea of the sort of questions to ask you in your appointment, like, to your face. theres a LOT of snap judgement that happens, for better or worse, and a lot of stuff can be missed, but its also a two way street. if you have specific questions about your sexual health, *you* gotta ask about it, same as you gotta bring up things like "i have this weird rash that comes and goes under my boob"

having too much information is not helpful for you, the patient, because the human experience is WAY too vast and subjective, but its also not helpful for doctors either. you get a short time with ur doc each appointment, and, at least in the us, a lot of the time doctors only get paid for the time they have scheduled with a patient, because that's how insurance works, so they get a quick minute or less debrief from their nurse immediately prior to seeing their patient

someone with the agab of "F" on file who answers that sex partner question with "only has sex with women" signals to the doctor SEVERAL things, from the fact that they are less likely to need a talk about contraception to marking this patient as also less likely to need resources for domestic violence. its not (or at least, shouldn't) be that this hypothetical doctor doesnt think this hypothetical patient wont need to discuss contraception or dv resources, but by virtue of having female partners of any sort, this patient has a significantly different risk profile than if they had included men in their sexual partners

however, if this afab patient had stated they have sex with men, the doctor would ask key profiling questions to further assess their risk profile for sexual and relationship health as a whole, and *thats* where you, the patient, go yeah my boyfriend is trans, but he gets cold sores sometimes, can i catch that if he goes down on me? which shows ur risk levels AND that you are proactive about your health, etc etc

sincerely, a professional patient lmao

love how doctors' new-patient questionnaires STILL ask "do you have sex with men, women, or both" as if the answer to that question actually tells them what they want to know. it wouldnt be that suprising if it was just the trans exclusionism, but do they not realize by this point that:

cishets have anal sex too

cishets have sex where the man is anally penetrated

cishets have nonpenetrative sex all the time

I feel the solution to this would be pretty simple. just give patients a checklist for what kinds of sex they have and include stuff like "penetrative anal (giving), penetrative anal (receiving), oral anal (giving), etc etc etc." Not only would this be more gender inclusive but it would ACTUALLY TELL the doctor what they need to know

just remove gender from the question entirely, otherwise you are quite literally making assumptions about the patient's sexual behavior that could affect their health and how your treat them
