by January 10th 1 in 3 people will have had this wave of covid. covid causes long term damage with each infection and wears down your immunity. you do not want this. there is no cure for long covid or me/cfs and there is a significant chance (last I checked I think it was 1/5 infections) of getting long covid that increases with each infection. please protect yourself and your loved ones by wearing a mask. variants have become more transmissible so a n95 or kn95 is the minimum protection to keep yourself reasonably safe(r) from getting covid.

it is important to understand often viruses do not simply clear up and go away. like chicken pox and shingles or what we now think of as polio that is actually post polio syndrome. polio symptoms were mild and 75% of cases are asymptomatic. we do not yet see the full scope of what this virus will do over our lifetimes. as someone who had my entire life derailed by me/cfs after having mono, (almost 10 years ago! it hasn't gotten better!) we have to take pathogens more seriously if we care about ourselves and our communities.

I'm willing and open to talk with people who want to understand better what covid does to our bodies and how we can best practice community care and also harm reduction if we're stuck in unsafe situations at home or work (certain mouthwashes and nasal sprays can help).

if you're watching what's happening in Palestine and live in the US, the government doesn't care about your life either. They lied about palestine and they lied about covid too. It is not just a cold.

There’s this potential in vampire Daniel of embracing his own monstrousness only to get tripped up over the fact that there are other parts of him he’s still got buried. And not just memories (although I’m all for that).

Daniel as an old man is presenting this very specific curmudgeonly identity, and it’s a very armored acerbic one. There’s already something hunter-predatory about him in the way he navigates extracting a story. The transition to vampire does not seem so difficult from there.

And yet.

In embracing that monstrousness he might eventually realize there are things within him that didn’t die with his humanity. Things he thought he killed years ago, long before Dubai. But they’re still there. It’s harder to keep them at bay amidst all that new freedom, that wild hedonistic abandon.

And it’s the sweetness. The sweetness! The boy who ordered cocktails that taste like after-dinner mints, who was full of bubbly, bumbling energy, who had faltering romantic ideas and so little ability to execute them, who secretly dreamed of being special, who leaned into Armand’s hand on his cheek. “He’s still in there.”

And— all of these things are tethered to his sexuality as well. “I did what I had to,” he defends, and then the reality is that he could not have been more eager, more expressive, more hungry.

If vampirism is about having to come to terms with oneself, to cast off whatever human shames you still cling to, it’s not his monstrousness that Daniel is going to struggle with. It’s his sweetness. Daniel always speaks with so much contempt for that boy he used to be. How the cynic loathes those parts of him that could not be more genuine. Too much sincerity, too much feeling. He doesn’t want to believe any of that is still inside him. But it is, it is.

... Man I was gonna make a comment about Curly(Mouthwashing) and Alfred(Bloodborne) but...

... Nah, looking at them side-by-side I kinda don't really see it -- if anything I still think Alfred looks more like a combination between Kristoff and Hans(both from Frozen). But I noticed in a lot of fanart showing Curly, a lot of peeps seem to draw him as looking very Alfred-esque minus the muttonchops.

Jimmy and Varré, on the other hand...

Like all Jimmy needs is a bit more prickliness and the Mohgwyn sigil on his forehead, and there you have it.

And maybe a smile too.
