#muscle comparision

[reality-liver-n0]

This is going to be my worst post to date (in my opinion)

But after the anguish and turmoil that has hit Balalaika fans after her appearence in the latest chapter like her lack of muscle/strength that we know she unleashed on Rock, the fading of her scars, and other things I decided to investigate myself to see how much she changed.

The majority of these pictures are from the anime. Sad, I know, and hopefully once I find the direct panel from the manga that mirrors it I will edit or add more to this post.

I will start this by saying that Anime Balalaika is an absolute fucking unit. Like reviewing the pictures I realized that she's built like a very beautiful Russian tank and that is really the best description here.

Do you see what I mean? It's most likely the coat but still, it has to touch her shoulders to even drape.

Although, it depends on the scene as she can be like this too

Her shoulders are less defined and aren't quite as cut as the top ones but her muscle is there at least.

Above is the Virgin Rock as physical comparision

She's obviously fucking built way beyond his physique and she knows it. She corners him in or crosses her arms while his remain at his side as he tries to be unaffected. And honestly, kudos to him. He stood pretty strong in this scene and I think he knew he had to do that to even try and talk on her level.

I mean we've seen what happens when he doesn't. Disclaimers ahead, Rock is in for a rough ride. I on the other hand, laughed my ass off when I took these screenshots.

Also, here is what I personally think went through Balalaika's head in each scene and the progression of it.

% Anger Level - Annoyance

Jesus Christ, he's on this bullshit again. Sounds like one of those family dogs I keep having to put down.

% Anger Level - Frustrated

Maybe if I make it clear I'm pissed right now he'll have some sense left in him. If he says one more word I am going to make him the hood ornament for the car.

% Anger Level - Hostility

Just looking at this cigarerette is giving me an idea. I could just throw him like I could with this. Sooner or later he'll be stepped on; fire dying out.

% Anger Level - Rage

I'm certain his face will never change in his casket

With one strike I could gouge his eyes out. Maybe then he'll see justice.

You've sealed your fate Rock. Now you'll suffer the death of a true hero.

(Woohoo! 🎉You passed the slideshow and now I'll do my commetary. Here's a Boris photo as a reward.)

This is the face he wanted to make right when Rock started talking.

Anyway, I must have forgotten just how Balalaika threw Rock since I took those screenshots. I knew that she did it but somehow forgot that she did it with one arm. Or at least how much power she put into flinging him like a ragdoll. LIke she fucking lifted him in the air with one hand and with a single move had him on the hood in split seconds.

Here's a funny picture I caught mid-shot as well

His feet aren't touching the ground. He's fully straight as if he didn't have have a second to take it in, meanwhile his hands are just open and it's like he forgot he was even alive. No doubt, he had a vision that when Balalaika even reached for him that she just punted him to the afterlife.

Meanwhile, I cannot imagine the raw terror Revy must have felt seeing this happen.

She is scared as hell here. Keep in mind that this entire exchange she can't see Balalaika's face or Rock's. Both their backs are to her until Balalaika throws Rock. Still, I doubt that she really could've seen him past Balalaika's frame. Meanwhile, she's probabaly just processing that Balalaika's strong enough to do what she just did. Most likely she already knew she has a lot of physical power, I mean look at her, but this is the first time she's seen it and it happened to the worst person possible.

I can fully say that Balalaika is a fucking beast in hand-to-hand combat with the body to match it. And this is only focusing on her throwing Rock! She already snapped a neck by this point. Rock saw that and again, he does have some courage or maybe stupidity to even do this since he saw that with his own eyes.

Revy hasn't. And I don't think Rock told her, at least not until he knew they were back in Roanapur and safe. He was still traumatized by it too so chances are he is suffering some recurring nightmare of it. To top it off, this event alone was so visceral in his mind that he draws a direct comparaision to Chang, symbolizing how truly helpess he was.

With all that out of the way here isthe recent manga depiction of Balalaika

(no comment needed)

Here are the earlier depictions of her in the previous chapters. All the thanks to @crystallinee-waters and @progmanx for the posts concerning the chapters and the usual girlboss stuff 💅

Love you two for that

In conclusion the only explanation for this is that Chang used his CIA connnections (Eda) to tamper with the latest chapter to make himself look cooler. And I guess he had enough mercy to include Rock in that upgrade too, for whatever reason.

Hero of the chapter was definitely Le Majeur

Homegirl got sacraficed by Balalaika to the gays

Which will probabaly be another cursed post sometime in the future with the Holy Trinity (Balalaika, Revy and Le Majeur)

✊ They're staying strong and holding down the series' reperesentation of the ABC Mafia

(😔 not canonically tho only Le Majeur has officially come out, or got outed by her comrade. But then Revy saved her ass and definitely did not hear anything and now does not knows what Le Majeur really is.)

A homosexual 🌈

Okay. I think I'm finally done with this, and I went off the rails by the end but this post now exists so I will return to my secluded hole 🕳️

(Forgot to add buff Revy too, so here she is)

She can be both happy and mad but she's still jacked af (and silently judging you at all times because of your gayness)

˖˚˳⊹ genre: fluff

bearhugs with itto because he‘s just way too big in comparision with your own body. You‘d fit inside multiple times in his arms if you were being honest. Loves to pick you up in front of everybody and swing you around like a ragdoll because he thinks it‘s cute.

hugging you from behind with ayato because he enjoys the trust and intimacy that goes hand in hand with this particular method. Always achieves surprising you, since he‘s busy most of the time, looping his arms around your body to pull you close, and the warmth from his body combined with the excitement of his proximity left you feeling breathless.

putting his head on your chest while hugging you with childe, so he‘ll be able to listen to your heart pick up on pace whenever he‘s close to you. Hands lazily holding onto your waist while you embrace him into a loving hug, reassuring you‘ll forever be his and only his in this world.

laying in between your thighs with kazuha while you have your arms circled around his body, or lazily brushing away his hair while he’s remiscing about his adventures. He‘ll talk about literally anything in that position, it‘s just so comfortable and cozy to him and the way he fits perfectly in between your thighs is an important bonus for Kazuha. There isn‘t anything he‘ll prefer to do on those kind of days.

being the big spoon for gorou whenever he comes home late at night after a busy day of work. Stroking his unruly hair far away his face while being careful of not touching his sensitive ears, kissing his cheeks and relaxing his muscles down greatly. The warmth of his smile would never go lost on you, and you thought about how lucky you truly were to have someone like gorou by your side.

making sure you're okay with him touching you before xiao moves closer to your body, heart racing and overall nervous. It wasn't easy for him to touch someone and initiate intimacy ever, he'd most likely never do it but wait until you show him that you want to be close to him. Slowly sliding you into his embrace, realizing how his breath got slower and calm, feeling as if he was home now.

hugging you under the large oak tree in windrise with venti, who‘ll have his arms around your neck while pushing you against his chest. His fingertips would prance over your back ever so lightly while humming something underneath his breath, forever cherishing those little memories like no other and also being able to relax himself even though of short while.

hugging you while you straddle his lap with kaeya. He could go crazy whenever the both of you do this. The warmth radiating off your body was beyond belief while his hands were placed on top of your behind, slowly kneading your flesh and whispering into your ear how you‘re his forever and that he'll never let you go.

Reworked Nick's backstory a bit

bear with me, this could be a long read depending on if I shorten or go into detail on some matters lmao. Nicolas Augustine Johnson was born in Seattle, Washington on July 8th, 1987 to Anthony (Tony) Johnson and Samantha Delacroix-Johnson. Living in the US for his first 3 years, the family moved to Paris, France in 1990 to get away from a few of Tony's old enemies becoming more active again and looking for ways to get back at the semi-retired master thief. A few weeks after his 7th birthday, Nick found himself an orphan after both his parents were killed by a group of individuals Tony crossed, having sent most of the powerful mafia behind bars while he reaped their hauls. Being sent to the Happy Camper Orphanage, Nick was very distrusting of others, especially adults, and was quickly regarded as a problem child for how often he got into fights with the other kids who tried to pick on him for his scarred ear and family history.

He met Sly while trying to score some snacks in the kitchen one night after going without dinner due to Ms. Puffin's orders after causing another fight. Sly, being 3 years older than Nick, was quick to keep an eye on the younger raccoon during their stay at the orphanage and was the only kid who seemed to get along decently with the troublemaker. It would take some time, but after awhile, Bentley and Murray joined in being the only kids who got along with Nick. As they got older, Sly took Nick under his wing basically, helping to sharpen his basic moves while also working on other aspecs of his abilities so they both could become master thieves together. It wouldn't be until Sly and the gang, aged 18, would take off for the Fiendish Five, would Nick officially come along as a member of the gang. Being the youngest at 15, he was limited in his abilities in comparision to Sly, however, his undercover work was already better, due in large part that he was able to get into his role much quicker and throw his voice better than Sly. During the Fiendish Five Heists, Nick's primary role was helping to gather information on each of the bosses' locations from the inside... however, Sly would handle the tasks of taking down each of the bosses himself. It wouldn't be until the Klaww Gang Heists, would Nick finally get more fieldwork as the secondary thief of the group. Working alongside Sly on the field to help Sly once again gain back the Clockwerk parts while also working on taking down Neyla. At 18, Nick was more filled out and now stood slightly taller than Sly... but sadly his natural abilities still paled a bit in comparison to Sly's, leading to an inferiority complex to develop shortly after Sly's and Murray's betrayel and capture by Neyla and The Contessa. After working with Bentley to free the gang in Prauge, Nick overworks himself to exhaustion and actually ends up breaking his foot... leading for him to be shutdown after Bentley's discovery that he was hiding the injury from the others. It was also during The Klaww Gang heists did Nick's feelings for Sly change to be more romantically, with the two thieves sharing a few moments before messily breaking things off as Sly became more serious about persuing Carmelita. Shortly before the Kaine Island heist, Nick's forced to get surgery on his improperly healed foot and finds out that it wont ever be the same, leading his style of thieving to be more strength and stealth rather than acrobatics and agility like Sly's. Now 21 and more naturally gifted in strength, Nick became the gang's main muscle along with it's main undercover agent after Murray abruptly left the gang... Upon the start of Kaine Island's Heist, Nick's inferiority complex returned strongly now that Sly was still the main thief while Murray had rejoined and was once again the main muscle... adding in the other members, Nick was tempted the most by Doctor M's talk about betraying Sly... however, he ends up helping Sly take down the mad man, only to feel blindsided when after escaping the Island with the others, he learns Sly doesnt wish to be found after leaving his cane and mask... causing Nick to temporarly become the leader... before also leaving after being unable to handle the expectations of being the Cooper Gang's top thief. Instead, he goes solo... managing to do well for himself and even eventually finding his own love interest and starting a family before semi-retiring himself. During the Le Paradox incident, Nick found himself thrown into the Gang's mess as he was asked to join to help Sly save his family legacy. Still feeling bitter and hurt at Sly's earlier decisions to leave the gang, he took a bit of time to forgive Sly... but the two managed to work out their issues just shortly before Sly's untimely disappearance. Nick, 27 at the time of Sly going missing, joins the gang once again to help search for the missing thief... before once again going solo after sly's recovery. This is just a bare-boned version of his backstory, I can go into details more but I posted this more as a way for

those unfamiliar with him to get a general sense of his past and his current relationship with the gang.

and you still haven’t:  Decided to start that exercise routine. 

you haven’t wrote the book yet. 

You haven’t started the project. 

You haven’t went out to the new club.

[silly-jellyghoty]

A random though which turned out to be a lot longer than i have anticipated, but please bear with me. I swear that i have a punch line in mind.

So!

Ball pythons with the spider gene have wobbling issues and have a hard time to right themselves up when turned. That's what every python owner and breeder knows (or should know). I'm not a zoologist or a genetist or any other relevant -ist, but hear me out.

While playing around with my Artemis (a queen bee morph aka pastel + lesser + spider), i have noticed that the only time she wobbles is when she has her head and neck up above the substrate, but the moment she feels a touch in the wobbling area, she immediately stops wobbling and clings to whatever has touched her. If that means she is touching ground after being flipped up side own, she rights herself up. If that something is the side and then the ceiling of her terrarium, she scales it up (and then flops down when there's too little of her on the ground to keep the ballance), if it's my hand, she slithers along it as if it was ground, even if she is technically still up side down.

So it made me think.

What if the spider wobble isn't a mental issue in terms of a faulty brain activity, but rather it's connected to nerves responsible for detecting gravitation and body position (i'm sure those have a real scientifical name)? Maybe they are underdeveloped, maybe they are deformed, maybe entirely missing. I don't know. But if the snake isn't aware of what is up and what is down and if it isn't aware where exactly and in which position is the rest of its body, it would explain the wobble. After all, it's hard to keep steady if you can't fine tune your muscless due to lack of information usually provided by those sensors.

Since they lack this essential but often overlooked sense, spider gene pythons learned to compensate by using touch and sight. However unlike those position sensors which if i remember correctly from my long past biology classes are connected directly to muscle tissue, sight and touch needs to be processed in brain and only then send into muscles. The time delay may cause wobbles through compensation and overcompensation of the ballance (instead of instant muscle tension correction of non-spiders in comparision) back and forth so while in average the snake stays in more or less the same position (lurking to catch their prey), it can't keep perfectly still.

The corkscrewing may be a combination of this aspect and extreme stress, be it positive or negative. If the snake is scared, stressed, or overly excited from smelling food or an ovulating female or similar, their tiny brain may be simply so caught in the moment that it stops processing touch and sight stimuli and translating them into right muscle tension. As a result, instead of sticking to the ground or holding themselves in the S shape like before the strike, be it to hunt or to defend, muscles contract to create bends, but they are doing it wrong, resulting in a spiral shape aka corkscrew instead of that characteristic S.

Many rescue pythons come from owners who only had them in empty boxes with just water and substrate. These snakes often come in with stress issues, wobbling and corkscrewing hard as a result (for all understandable reasons) yet magically stop doing it or at least stop doing it as frequently as before, once they are placed in habitats with a proper enrichment. Also older snakes often "grow out" of severe wobbles they had as babies and juveniles (maybe because their brains are finally fully developed to process touch as their main muscle sense so to speak?) My guess is that it's exactly because of this enrichment, however not because they are green or made of wood*, but because of simply having many obstacles all around. Whenever a snake starts wobbling and it touches something, it is reminded - this is here, this is down, crawl now. It's easier to be aware of that when there are leaves and twigs all around, than when it's only the box, ground, and one water dish somewhere in the corner.

This could explain why spiders are found in nature instead of being extinct. After all, the spider gene wasn't a mutation developed and noticed in captivity, but caught wild and then selectively bred for the pattern. Snakes with this gene must then logically be able to feed, mate, and generally do snake stuff on their own without any help. The main reason why they can do this is probably that pythons with spider gene in nature are always surrounded by thousands of plants, roots, grass blades, and other stuff providing them with those oh so necessary subtle touches all year around. And while they may wobble a bit from time to time, their specific pattern is more than enough to compensate for their less successful hunts by making them quite invisible. Pros and cons of genetics.

Another advantage of the gene may also be directly connected to their lack of one vital sense. So the snake doesn't have any idea what is up or down but is pretty sure that touching stuff with belly does the trick, right? My theory is that because of this, they could be better climbers. After all, solid stuff is solid stuff, but while non-spiders tend to stick to the ground because they know that down is good, more or less, spiders would seem it as perfectly reasonable to crawl up branches. After all, solid is solid, crawl now. Again. Their pattern looks less than round and oval leaves in various stages of decay and more like a bunch of sticks throwing shade over a tree trunk. Perfect masking for climbing if you ask me.

Now for the punch line.

So i have deduced that instead of a snake variant of mental disability, spider gene (and possibly other wobble genes) can be rather a physical disability - an issue with registering gravity. Other than that, these ball pythons are perfectly normal and healthy snakes happily living their lives anywhere where they can climb and slither and cling to solid stuff regardless of whether the thing is actually the ground or not, right?

So. I propose an experiment for confirming this theory - get the spider python into space. Put that baby into a habitat made of sticks and pieces of plumbing and fake plants. They would be a perfect sample for whatever other experiments anyone would make with them. Royal pythons don't drink. As long as their humidity is right and their food juicy, they get enough water as is, so there is no need for unpractical water dishes in space. They also don't care about there not being any "up" unlike mice and was that a chicken once? A duckling? You know what i mean. You don't even need to feed them for months if they are nice and chubby prior leaving the Earth, they would be just fine in their little space hides through the whole duration of the mission.

So i say - space snakes

*) don't take this as me dismissing enrichments, i am not. They are useful and fun and keep your animals safe and healthy, plus also they look great as a display

oh man these GIF’s look cool an- *thinks about Lanque Bombyx being swol* FUCK

I don’t know what this is from but it’s the gayest start to a fight I’ve ever seen

[khazdorum-stonesplitter]

Khazdorum, in brief.

Friends: Tyra, Trist’Ayran, Mun-Li, Airinn, Som’awa, and Lielu are his close friends, along with Khardrun depending on how much Khaz has talked recently. He’s working on making new friends in Foxrun as well as with other Dragoons.

Build: Short. Stocky. Far, far more heavily muscled than the stereotypical mage. Being the magical equivalent of a one-man roadie team apparently works wonders for your musculature.

Hair: Black.

Eyes: Like most Dark Irons, his eyes look like a geological core sample of the planet’s upper mantle before it cools.

Skin: Slate grey.

Height: 4′ 5″.

Scars: Several. His face is relatively free of scarring, but most of his body is covered in faded scars from severe scalding. He’s got a number of minor nicks and cuts across his torso and legs, but there are two relatively fresh scars indicative of stab wounds in his upper torso.

dogs or cats or Gargons || birds or bugs || snakes or spiders || coffee or tea || ice cream or cake || fruits or vegetables || sandwich or soup || magic or melee || sword dagger or bow || summer or winter || spring or autumn || past or future

Five songs that remind you of them:

1. Yangtze River Shanty- Hamish McLaren. Reskinned to the Kun Lai River Shanty, it’s something of Khaz’s signature song, and even though he’s had much more to be happy about these days, I don’t think I’ll ever separate him from it in my head.

2. I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That.)- Meatloaf. Not only does Khaz in Venthyr covenant gear LOOK like the album cover to Bat Out of Hell, I Would Do Anything For Love is a very good look at how he would treat any romantic partner. He’s steadfast and loyal to friends, and a lover can expect that and more.

3.The Song of Durin- J.R.R. Tolkien, the arrangement version by Clamavi De Profundis. I kind of associate this with all my dwarven characters, to one degree or another, and this arrangement in particular. There’s a sense of wonder and venerable glory, as well as sorrowful loss and a hope for a brighter future when Durin wakes at last to claim his crown from waters deep. I just love it.

4. Blood on My Name- The Brothers Bright. Khaz’s life has been decades of loneliness interspersed with sparks of dark and bloody violence. He’s faced more actual combat in the last four years, but the moments of violence that haunt him the most were not on the battlefield. They are thankfully few in number, but he fears what others think of the things he does when his temper breaks, and knows a reckoning will eventually come for the blood he’s spilt for it- one way or another.

5. Sweet LA- Miracle of Sound. A song about LA Noire, this song is my go-to for pulp noire detective work. As my best friend loves to say, “All of your characters are just shells around an American noire detective or a British police detective.” In Khaz’s case that’s more than a little true. It’s a running gag that he goes all Tracer Bullet in his head when a mystery shows up. “The dame was trouble. The dame was always trouble.” Nicholas Cage as Spider Noir is also a favorite comparision.

Alas, I do not believe I know anyone who wasn’t already tagged.

Edit: due to recent events Khazdorum’s relationship status has changed.

Jin and Ikazuchi were the ones with six packs.

In comparision, Horobi had no muscles at all.

Yet, he was the strongest Rider amongst the four.

Loke often appears with the height of 7'5"ft ( 229cm ); he is taller than most humans, but he is shorter than most Jötnar. His mother still towers above him. But to his height is average to that of an Aesir male.

 He mostly appears as a 27-30 year old man or woman to others, but can change his physical age. His body is athletically built with defined muscles, however not as muscular and large as other male Aesir such as Thor or Tyr.

The Trickster has sharp but not unpleasant features, to most he is beautiful to look upon, no matter the gender. He wields an alluring aura. Like fire, Loke’s eyes are bright and intense. A flame-like red and yellow, wich gleams even in the faintest of shadows. Black dots under the lower lashes frame the eyes. He has many freckles sprinkled across his face, most notable over his cheekbones, the bridge of his nose and above his eyebrows. 

Curved horns with old-nordic patterns engraved into their surfaces decorate the top of his head. They are his most striking features alongside his fiery red hair; untamed and wild just like his nature. It is lenghty and reach past his hips, and curl around his horns and spread out as if the laws of gravity does not apply to his hair, he often let the hair be braided into one or three braids that drape over his shoulders. His skin is pale and on syren tinted lips are permanent, rough jacks and scars, a result after the punishment where he got them sewn together. His ears are pointed, and his nails are sharp like claws, often painted black.

HEIGHT: 7'5"ft / 229cm (can be altered, true heigh is giant; sky-reaching) EYE COLOUR: Fire-Red and Yellow HAIR COLOUR: Fiery Red with a gradient to bright yellow at the hair’s edges. SKIN COLOUR: Pale BUILD: Athletic

INTERESTS

Loke takes interest in things that pleases him. Mischief; pranks and a bit of chaos entertains him greatly, but so does also the entertainment of others. He often interacts with mortal beings; either to chat or to cause minor trouble, eitherway it amuses him most of the time. He also enjoys horseback riding, sex, food and alcohol.

PERSONALITY

He’s a very light-hearted God, who often wear a sly smile on his face. It is uncommon to find him in a serious mood, even when the situation would call for it. He is compassionate and giving to those who are devoted to him, most of his actions aimed at his worshippers have good intention, but his methods are that of rough love; making others face the hard truth, face their insecurities as he guides them to their fated path. This doesn’t make him any less of a mischevious trickster,however, even to his followers. He will find amusement along the journey, be it on their behalf, others, or his own.

But despite his easy-going and wild nature, Loke is capable of great anger, of wrath, an emotion one does not wish to evoke from him- as the lenghts he will go to get that sweet revenge are great and have no limits. He is not beyond killing someone out of spite or sheer annoyance. To get on Loke’s bad side is to wish for a life filled with unrest. And with Hela, the Goddess and Ruler of the Unworthy dead, as his daughter, not even death may be peaceful.

MORAL ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral

HOGWARTS HOUSE: Slytherin

POSITIVE TRAITS: Charismatic, intelligent, humorous, playful, curious, creative, ambitious, patient, loyal, passionate, caring, generous.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Manipulative, crafty, mischevious, decietful, distrustful, violent, chaotic, impulsive, rude, hateful, jealous, vengeful, volatile, unpredictable, unscrupulous, dishonest, juvenile, proud, stubborn.

PHYSICAL ABILITIES:

INTELLIGENCE: Loke has a genius level intellect and possesses a great deal of knowledge and wisdom. He is often valued as many mortal’s pateron god not only for his mischevious and light-hearted nature, but for his advice and knowledgeable mind. He is also extremely cunning and skilled, an expert battle strategist, and a highly skilled; charming and charismatic manipulator, which is evident by the ease how Loke repeatedly succeeded to regain the trust of his fellow Gods, despite his numerous deciets.

SKILLED COMBATANT: Loke is a formidable combatant, as a hand-to-hand fighters, and particularly as a swordsman or in the use of seidr during combat situations. Against mortal beings (super-human or not) Loke will win with overwhelming easy victory, the strenght of a god is not to be underestimated or down-played. The sheer force of his screams are powerful enough to cause violent earthquakes on Midgård(earth) when he is not even present on that world.

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: Loke, without the aid of anything, through his own biology, possess strenght far FAR greater than that of an average human male, even mortal beings enchanced with superhuman abilities or strenght ( keep in mind that just the pure force of his screams is powerful enough to cause destructive earthquakes on Midgård when he is not even on that realm; hence the name Roarer ).  However his physical strenght is average in comparision to the most skilled warriors of his fellow Gods such as Tyr, Freyr and Thor.

FIRE-RESISTANT: He is resistent to fire, all kinds of fire. Fire will not harm him.

SUPERHUMAN LONGEVITY: Loke will not die unless killed by another God. Only Gods are able to truly harm him and mortally wound him, and even kill him. If killed he reincarnates.

SEIDR:

DREAM-VIEWING: Loke can enter; watch and interact with other beings’ dreams. There he can see their desires; ambitions and personality traits. He can gain knowledge of secrets kept away if the person is not strong-willed enough to keep it hidden in their dreams.

TELEPORTATION: He can teleport himself or others across dimensions and space and time.

PSIONICS: Loke has powerful psionic capabilities He has the ability to project his thoughts telepathically well as potent hypnotic capabilities.

SHAPE-SHIFTING: Loke possesses shape-shifting abilities through his own biology. He is able to adopt any form imaginable whether it be animals, other humanoid beings, or even inanimate objects— and gaining the abilities of whatever form he takes. The only limit is his own imagination.

PYROKINESIS: Loke is a God of Fire. He is able to control the elements of fire as he so see fit. He can summon flames to physically appear in his hands and around his body or use his sorroundings to control it at will. There is no limit to the amount of fire he can produce, nor how high he can turn up the temperature- if he wanted to, he could melt down buildings made out of rock, and metal. He could make a planet’s earth crumble under the heat. This also makes him invulnerable to fire, all types of fire.

RESSURECTION: Just as his fire may bring destruction and chaos and death, it can also bring warmth and life.  He is able to bring life to the recently deceased, and is thought to be one of the Gods who created the first humans (together with Höenir and Oden). 

INVISIBILITY: Loke, like his fellow Gods; is able to render himself unseen to the eye of other beings. A nice quirk benefitting Gods as they can shred themselves of physical flesh and roam as shapeless entities in any realm, or in mortal minds. He can remain unseen to mortal eyes for as long as he so desire, and only shows himself for those he wants to see him. However sharp-minded and attentive beings can possibly sense something is there, but not actually see him.

ILLUSIONS: Loke is able to fool his enemies who try to attack him with illusions of himself. He can also cast illusionary images inside mortal beings minds— fooling them by making them think what is not there, exists, as well as affect their senses while they're in that illusionary reality.

PROJECTION: Loke, like all other Gods, is able to be at multiple places at the same time, without loosing any attention or power. With many devoted to their Pantheon, there are many beings’ prayers to pay attention to.   

BIOGRAPHY

Loke is the son of the giants Farabute and Laufey, and brother to Byleist and Helblinde. By the Giantess Angrboða, Loke is the father of Hel (the Goddess of Death, and ruler of Helheimr), the Giant Wolf Fenrir, and the World Serpent Jörmungandr. By his wife Sigyn, Loke is the father of Narfi and Nari. By the stallion Svaðilfari, Loke is the mother—giving birth in the form of a mare—to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir.

Brought from the realm Jötunheimr by Oden, Loke was recruited to assist the Gods. Oden and Loke saw kinship in eachother as they both were equal in their cunning, wisdom. knowledge and trickery. They held great mutual respect for eachother, and enjoyed the other’s company enough to share their blood, therefore becoming blood-brothers.

“ Remember, Othin, | in olden days   That we both our blood have mixed;   Then didst thou promise | no ale to pour,   Unless it were brought for us both.”

Their relationship is a complicated story of trust and deciet and betrayal. They see eachother as friends, and brothers. Making a blood-pact oath to treat eachother as family. Oden and Loke are and were closer than any of the other Gods were in relation to the All-father, aside from Frigga, Oden’s wife, and his children. With time this trust was broken, both sides to blame — and their feud would come to bring upon the end of all the Realms. Ragnarök.

Loke’s relation with the Gods varies. Loke sometimes helps the Gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loke is a powerful user of seidr, a shape shifter and a God of Fire and Madness and Chaos and Mischief. But he is also known as the God of Laughter and Mirth, Creativity and Change. Nothing with the Gods is black or white. They are all assholes and good people. Human and mortal logic and morals are not to be expected from them.

Loke’s positive relations with the Gods end with his role in, out of jealousy and resentment, engineering the death of the god Baldr, Oden’s son. He also appeared as a foe of the Gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their drink. Loke is eventually bound by the Gods with the entrails of his sons, Narfi and Vali as punishment for killing the God of Light.

Depending on the timeline, Loke is loyal to Asgard and often ally with them— but, past complicated events that lead to Loke loosing trust in the Aesir, Loke flips the switch and grows hateful of the Aesir. He becomes so spiteful and vengeful he engineers Baldr’s death, and as punishment he is bound to to a rock where the venom of a snake is to drip onto Loke’s face forever, with his wife Sigyn keeping him company during his punishment. Eventually he escape from his bonds; more vengeful than ever. He wish to gain revenge upon those he feel have wronged him. With the Gods no longer countable, Loke takes the opposing side of the Aesir during Ragnarök; the End of All Worlds- he chose to oppose them alongside his children ( who also sought revenge for their mistreatment by the Aesir) and be responsible for their ruin.

After Ragnarök, Loke had ‘died’ during the war and was reincarnated, like the other deceased Gods. As the Worlds healed and became hospitable for life, Loke opted to lay low until things began moving in the Realms once more.  

Past Ragnarök he is no longer fueled with rage and a thirst for revenge. He is tired and avoids the Gods most of the time; having grown past their previous disputes, as it does not serve immortal dities well to hold an eternal grudge. He is still drawn to chaotic events and mischief; his charm and impish and playful attitude intact, but he is less likely to cause major trouble.

Comparison - Front Double Biceps

[trans-advice]

Hi! Y’all are amazing. Do you have any passing tips for amab girls?

a trend to follow: if a cis woman does it for basic hygiene, then you should be fine when you do it.

do price comparisions for all of these supplies because trying to get all of these will need to become part of your budget.

moisturizers are needed in order to remove makeup & heal skin after shaving. the moisturizer you use needs to be fragrance free because we sometimes develop skin allergies to the fragrances. ponds, nivea, vaseline, coconut oil, are good ones i hear. in a quick pinch, chapstick can work out, but it can be too precise for the job when you need broad strokes.

for shaving, if you have a thick beard, then should probably only use one disposable razor per shaving session shave once per day. if you miss a day it can take several days to get back undercontrol. stypic pencils, hydrogen peroxide, band-aids & neosporin/triple-antibiotic ointment, anti-acne pads are all helpful friends. you won’t need some of those supplies depending on how fast your blood clots/scabs. buy your razors at the dollar tree. buy them in bulk online if you need to. avoid buying razors at walgreens.

avoid shaving your legs because there’s a lot ligaments that you have to stay flat on. you will knick yourself & have to apply bandages to awkward places. this means if you have to shave by while you’re alone, then you shouldn’t do it. i would suggest using an electric razor for these purposes. i have also found that for arms & fingers you can get a lot done without shaving cream & that it is actually better to not use it to avoid nicking yourself by going off the plane. basically with shaving you need to stay on smooth/flat services with the razor. you’ll probably get better with time with recognizing these, but basically look at: 

the muscles in your arms, 

the bones in your hands,

 the way your fingers line up,

how your veins & nerves stick out of your hands.

shave your armpits a little bit. you merely need to brush your razor on it once you get it mostly off. an electric razor would be a good idea. there’s some feminism accepted with keeping the armpits unshaven, but bushes get deem male as heck so hence you need to keep them trimmed. like you need to be able to see the skin. if the hair starts obstructing the view to the armpit skin, then people start seeing it as weird.

you don’t have to shave your pubic region or near it actually. this is because people actually support people who don’t because it filed under sexuality & people tend to be less kinkshamey when they think about sex conceptually & you don’t want to talk about sex to begin with. personally, i only shave because i’ve actually gotten urinary tract infections because of too many fecal germs or whatever in that region. so i just try to trim that for purposes of harm reduction, not style. basically do what makes you comfortable with regards to your pubic hair because everyone tends to respect the live & let live principle with that.

for purposes of cutting down on acne, make your room as cold as possible when you sleep & wash your pillowcases & bedding frequently. (i only get to do laundry once a week because i have to use a laundromat. however, if you have a washer/dryer of your own, then i’d do it like everyday or so.) also avoid touching your face as much as you can (that is why wearing foundation actually helped my acne). go to a dermatologist if needed.

most drug store foundations are “anti-comedogenic” which means you won’t get clogged pores from it. so that means avoid the makeup that aims to clog pores because “smoothness”. i am paying attention to the clogging of pores here because acne will make shaving & makeup worse. perhaps going to a makeup consultation can help with finding the right foundation.

the foundation i use, which i will disclose so you can gauge my complexion when i talk about colors: rimmel stay matte foundation 081 fair ivory. it’s like $6 or $7 at walgreen’s, but $3.29 at target, 2 for $5 online at target. 

when you apply foundation, you’re going to want to: 

take a pea size dot onto your fingers

rub it upward 

in circles 

going from nose to the edges of the face (like towards the sizeburns, but always going upward).

remember to cover the part by the hair line.

it might take several minutes to do, but eventually you’ll get the hang of it to where it’s like brushing your teeth.

use moisturizer to remove makeup from your eyes. wash your face off with like dove soap or some sensitive soap. (do the moisturizer first to avoid getting soap into your eyes)

you need to avoid smelling bad. using a roll-on deodorant that smells more feminine will help out (i like “lady speed-stick” which is strong. i also like suave because tradition, but secret is cool. also fragrances lotions can help in small quantities as a form of like perfume. cis women use fragrances to help cover up menstrual blood. therefore applying little amounts after a showerlike at the elbow crevices, the shoulders, the armpits, the breasts, some parts of the torso, legs, is a good idea. avoid the crotch & butt of course because cross-contamination with feces.)

painting your nails, lipstick/lipgloss, eye-makeup & earrings are definitely stronger ways to pass. 

like red nail polish tends to bleed remnants onto your nails afterwards so i would avoid red nail polish. go to the dollar store & build a spectrum of your favorite colors. (types of pink, types of blue, types of green, types of purple, types of orange, some glitter kinds, etc).

also get a cuticle cleaner/pusher that has a rounded tip for scooping. smelling bad will be bad. it will be super important in order to remove dirt or crud or nasty stuff out of there.

you do foundation before lipstick if you’re having trouble staying in the lines, you can basically put lipstick towards the lip/mouth-gums border & then use your finger to like spread it out. i also suggest curling your lips in & looking for lipstick that goes over the edges. when i put on lipstick it’s often over the lines at the edges of my mouth. if i put on too much lipstick it can be offensive (because of how blackface lips are illustrated), so try to avoid going over as much as possible. if you are still struggling or prefer different feels then using chapstick or lipgloss or flavored chapstick are awesome.

with eyeshadow you put darker eyeshadows next to the eyelashes & lighter eyeshadow towards the top by the eyebrows. if you do the reverse, then you will look more masculine, & like goth/emo dramatic. overall, not a good idea. like doing colorful eyeshadow is already artsy, you don’t want to push it too hard. if you do like darker versions of flesh colors like purple or brown in the spectrum order i just said of light colors by the brows, dark by the lashes, then it might seem “mature”. personally, i prefer artsy, but i’m also an eccentric person. 

i have heard that doing foundation or concealer first, before eye-makeup, is the pro-tip for easy application, but for me eyeshadow sometimes looks too pale when i do that. eyeliner is definitely easier to put on if you have concealer or foundation on. i also like using lipstick instead of eyeshadow sometimes because it’s bolder colors. however, you must be aware of cross-contamination possibilities. 

i’ve also heard about brow trimming, but i do not know anything about it & if you do it wrong it is super noticable. so basically just brush those so they look like uniform/lined-up instead of bushy. but yeah, when you get a haircut, maybe chat them up about it.

for eyelashes, you can simply just take your finger and push your eyelashes away from your eyes to curl them. at dollar tree & family dollar etc, their mascara is never usable, and therefore that product is always a scam.

if you get earrings, then go to an actual piercing shop. do not go to a earrings at like claire’s with air guns… no. air guns break/shatter ear bones. you’ll have to keep those clean as hell. 

hair varies with everybody. hairstyle is very intimate to one’s style identity/aesthetic. (i bring this up because that’s is the point of solarian, lunarian, stellarian, as labels)  so i can’t give much on that. i have heard wigs can be good for when you want to do wild hair. if you die your hair, it can damage it severly. so i’d suggest hair chalks which are like eyeshadow, and those cans of color that goes away in 1 wash. color the tips not the roots, because while it may be messier, you can just cut the tips it gets botched instead of losing your entire head of hair.

so for buying bras, you go by your chest size. the letters a, b, c, d, dd, etc add 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc inches to hold (what would be) your breasts. if you’re in europe (or some other fashion lines) then replace dd with e & carry on. so a 44D is 44+4, a 38C is 38+3.

getting a bra that hooks in front is such a relief. however, if you have to get one with hooks on the back, then you can put it on backwards, hook it while they’re in front of you, from bottom to top, and then turn it around so it’s on correctly.

if you push against the bra & it deflates, you’ll need padding because boobs would fill that in basically if you’re holding like books in front of you or someone pushes into you, that can look like a cone pushed inward. while getting silicone breast cups or breast forms used in sewing would be the most economical, using overnight bladder or period pads for each side of the bra is able to be done when you don’t have a shop for breast forms around. family dollar sells bras for like 2 for $9, but if you can’t fit into those (their biggest size was 44D last time i checked. i’m a big woman, like 5′10″, 230lbs, mid 40′s on the chest.) if you go beyond these bras, it’s easy to find prices of like $25/bra. you’ll probably need 7 to get thru a week, 1 per day.

you will want to put baby powder into your bra to minimize rash development, bra sweat, and help with reusing the bra in case you’re not able to wash it before you use it next.

bras must be handwashed in cold water with soap, one at a time. i use the bathroom sink. if you don’t have a drain plug, then in order to do so, you take a washcloth & roll it up until you can stuff it up/into the drain. to dry the bras, you’ll want to use hangers on clothes line or shower rod or a like a dining room chair.

also in order to have more range, look into like spandex stomach slimmers that also go over the chest. they function like corsets, but look like a-shirts. they can hurt the back like binders do, so i would suggest bras instead of these, but they can be a more low-key way of having some ability to have control over your body & breasts. cis women also use these so basically that’s a trend to follow: if a cis woman does it for basic hygiene then you should be fine when you do it. i’ve thrown my spandex stomach slimmers into a washing machine, and it came out fine. i don’t remember if i thrown them into the dryer, but if you’re worried only keep it in for a few minutes.

if you want to wear like feminine underwear, but want it to be basic, then buy some “granny panties”. they usually come in basic colors, that can be fun. again, family dollar sells some. (at least in my area).

goodwill thrift stores don’t harass trans & gender-non-conforming shoppers. i am not sure of what shops you have around you, but again, save money when possible. also check out target & kohl’s if possible, but they’re more expensive. kohl’s gives coupons to their credit card holders. wearing blouses & dresses will be a big step towards passing.

to cancel erections: flex a large muscle for about 30 seconds or more, like both thighs. If you’re sitting, rest your feet on your toes and push off the ground as if you’re just about to stand up. for me this usually involves like squeezing my thighs near my knees. if you do the wrong muscles (the ones who hold in urine or poop), then you’ll accidentally do kegels which actually prolong erections. therefore, i would suggest practicing this skill in private.

not so much for passing, but for general health: purses, make sure you can fit your entire head in those. never get thin straps (neither width or thickness). if possible get the kind where the connection between the strap & the purse is a hole, because if the strap breaks, then you can possibly replace it with some sort of string, chord, rope, chain.

good luck, peace & love,

eve

What is Acne?

Nomatter where it occurs on your body, acne comes from the same cause,a clogged pore. The most common type of acne is called acne vulgaris,and most people deal with some form of it in their lifetime. Mostcommonly acne is associated with the teenage years, but at least 20%of acne cases every year occur in adults. Asa skin condition, acne can occur anywhere on your body that iscovered with skin—so anywhere on your body. Often, you will findacne on your face, neck, chest, back, shoulder, andupper arms. Thereare three different levels of acne, mild, moderate and severe.Here’s how you tell them apart. You experience regular blackheads and whiteheads Youexperience blackhead and whiteheads in the form of papules andpustules on your skin’s surface. You experience blackhead and whiteheads in the form of nodules and cysts under the surface of your skin.

What is scalp Acne?

Scalp acne is acne that appears on your scalp. It can take the form of either blackheads or whiteheads, but the whiteheads cause the most symptoms. Scalp acne can occur anywhere on the scalp, including the hair-line and top of the head. This type of acne can be hard to treat traditionally, because it is covered with hair, which makes it hard for traditional topical creams to be applied. It is important to get scalp acne cleared up as quickly as possible, so that it does not turn into folliculitis. This is a skin condition that is caused by an inflamed hair follicle. Folliculitis may look like common acne, but in sever cases it can be painful and causepermanent hair loss.

What cause a scalp acne?

There are many possible causes for scalp acne. The most important is genetics. Some people are just more predisposed to getting scalp acne. This has to do with how much or little oil your scalp produces and whether or not your pores clog easily. You may also get scalp acne if you have unwashed, oily hair. Oil can build up on your scalp if not washed off regularly, which is a major cause of acne. Another substance that can build-up and clog pores is oily or greasy hair products. If you already have an oily scalp, or are predisposed to acne, you should steer clear of these types of products. As with other types of acne, stress can cause outbreaks. Stress lowers our immune systems, which then cannot protect us against flare ups of the bacteria that causes acne. Exercise, meditation, and Vitamin B5 can help you reduce your stress level, and hopefully clear up any scalp acne problems. Finally, what you wear on your head is an important determiner to whether or not you will have scalp acne. If you were dirty headgear such as hats, bandanas, or helmets, the oils and dirt on them can transfer to your scalp and clog your pores. The best way to ensure that your headwear is not causing scalp acne is to wash your hair on a regular basis, especially if you are wearing headgear.

Symptoms of a scalp acne?

Scalp acne presents in much the same way as other types of acne. You will see pustules with either white or black heads. Whiteheads are most common on the scalp. There are a few common symptoms that set scalp acne apart from acne on another part of your body. Itusually starts at the center of your scalp. Either on your hairlineor the top of your head. You might see skin flakes that look similar to dandruff. You will know that you have acne and not dandruff by the presence of the acne bumps. Ifyou leave your scalp acne untreated long enough, especially if itturns into folliculitis, you may begin to see bald patches. Do notpanic, however, this symptom is quite rare. If you treat you scalpacne quickly, it should never get this bad.

Who can get a scalp acne?

The easy answer is anyone. However, certain people are more likely to get this rare form of acne. While the actually cause of any type of acne is not 100% clear, dermatologists have discovered that if you suffer from dandruff you are more likely to have scalp acne. This could be because dandruff also indicates a problem with the skin on your scalp. Therefore, if you treat your dandruff problems, you can likely stave off any scalp acne problems. But, keep in mind that this may be a condition you could develop down the road.

How to choose a shampoo for scalp acne ?

Shampoos that are formulated for scalp acne are one of the easiest ways to get rid of that stubborn scalp acne. Scalp acne shampoos are a little hard to find, so you could try a shampoo formulated for dandruff. But, these may not work as well. The best thing you can do is try out one of our top five picks of the best shampoos for scalp acne listed below. What does "formulated for scalp acne" mean? When we say a shampoo needs to be formulated for scalp acne we mean that it should have ingredients proven to help clear up acne. Some of the best ingredients to look for in a scalp acne shampoo are as follows. Salicylic Acid: Probably the most famous acne treatment, salicylic acid removes dead skin cells. It also opens your pores, which makes them harder to clog. Tea Tree Oil: If you want a natural alternative to salicylic acid, then you should try tea tree oil. It is an antibacterial and antifungal essential oil, which can help eliminate and prevent acne breakouts. Aloe Vera: Aloe vera cools and calms down irritated skin. It is also an antibacterial substance, which can prevent acne in the first place. Zinc: Another proven acne treatment, Zinc regulates how much oil your skin produces.

Patients with dynamic OUD ought to be demonstrated to a proper enslavement treatment facility. It isn’t proposed to begin narcotic treatment for a patient ingesting medications to keep an OUD rather than a controlled guess or an intense torment issue (for example broken bone).

Prescriptions That Approved For Opioid Use Disorder And Their Comparision

Patient JB’s drug, Butrans, comprises of buprenorphine, a blended agonist-adversary opiate. When blended in with naloxone, an opiate adversary, the medication is proposed for patients with a background marked by substance maltreatment to debilitate habit and narcotic use abuse. It ought to be focused on that items with opiate rivals, similar to naloxone, are NOT suggested for torment. Buprenorphine without anyone else is fitting for both narcotic agonist reliance AND agony. As opposed to full narcotic agonists (for example methadone, morphine, oxycodone), buprenorphine’s restricted movement at the narcotic receptors predicts a roof to its pharmacological impacts – this implies that the danger of excess, misuse, and poisonousness from buprenorphine is low when contrasted with full narcotic agonists (something positive for narcotic reliance) anyway it isn’t useful for advance degrees of agony requiring > 80mg of oral Morphine identical to soothe.

Buprenorphine

Sign 1 – Pain – Transdermal (TD) fix (Butrans®), transmucosal (Belbuca®), IM/IV (Buprenex®)

Suggestion 2 – Opioid agonist reliance – TD fix, the subdural embed (Probuphine®), sublingual tablet (Subutex®)

The manner in which it works – Mixed narcotic agonist-rival

Advantage(s) – Easier to restrict potential and tighten than methadone; powerful in pregnancy differentiation to blend buprenorphine-naloxone

Drawback – Can welcome on withdrawal; More maltreatment probability contrasted with mix buprenorphine-naloxone

Changing from OME to Buprenorphine transdermal fix (Butrans) – A buprenorphine to OME (in mg) modifying proportion of 1:75 has been suggested by well-qualified assessment late years, writing has elevated reaches from 1:70 to 1:100.7 make utilize a transformation proportion ought not substitute clinical judgment. Keep note that the TD fix is in “mcg/hr,” and the equilibrium is in “mg/day.” Butrans recommending data for sign,

Changing From OME To Buprenorphine buccal film (Belbuca) – Belbuca proposing subtleties for suggestions

Changing over from OME to Buprenorphine sublingual tablet (Subutex) – Off-mark take as this dose structure isn’t officially suggested for torment, and information is tight on this sign. A buprenorphine to OME (in mg) change proportion of 0.4:30 has been suggested by well-qualified assessment in the documentation. In any case, it ought not supplant clinical judgment. There is no writing on a progress From SL buprenorphine To other narcotics. Attempting to change over SL buprenorphine to substitute narcotics utilizing the proportion above isn’t recognized as it generally yields a bigger than anticipated narcotic portion/day.

Drawback – The more critical chance of CNS and respiratory inconvenience and QTC delaying; Abuse potential; Drug collaborations

Switching back and forth between oral morphine counterparts (OME) – The transformation proportion From OME To methadone is changing and depend on a few components dependent on the picked technique/model for changing and suggesting for use

Buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone, Zubsolv, Bunavail)

Proposal – Opioid agonist depend upon

Working example – Buprenorphine is a blend narcotic agonist-rival; Naloxone is a narcotic adversary

Utilizations – Conveniently to assess and tighten than methadone – When to take sublingually or buccally, naloxone result is less because of low assimilation; If not use as expected by infusion, naloxone may gag the result of buprenorphine which improve the likelihood for withdrawal.

Disadvantages – Can achieve withdrawal; matter that naloxone may reason withdrawal in hatchling for pregnant patients; NOT prudent for torment

Changing between oral morphine counterparts (OME)

Naltrexone (ReVia , Vivitrol)

Suggestion – Opioid agonist reliance

The manner in which it works – Opioid rival

Utilizations – Cannot be abused; reasonable choice for incredibly stimulus patients

Disadvantage – Can assist withdrawal in patients who have not been landmass from fast acting narcotics for at any rate seven days and at any rate ten days from gradually powerful narcotics; NOT recommended for torment

The change between oral morphine counterparts (OME)

What is some standard misconception for patients with torment and narcotic use abuse?

Misguided judgment – The continuation of narcotic agonist (methadone or buprenorphine) is providing absense of pain

Realities – For patients being assessed completely for narcotic use abuse, meds are exhorted at less portions just to put down withdrawal, not for absense of pain

Misinterpretation – use of narcotics for absense of pain may cause reliance backslide

Assess for ongoing utilization of tranquilizers (like muscle relaxants and benzodiazepines)

Essential Management

Delineate treatment supposition

Reference to a consolidate trained professional/facility, it is feasible to supply a multi-disciplinary point of view. On the off chance that the patient is so far under expert practice, ask the group’s recommendation on the consideration plan.

Continue with narcotic use problem treatment portion or portion identical to upgrade withdrawal

Utilize a composed narcotic understanding that comprises of safe application and impacts. This may concede force people a feeling of command over their SUD. A constituent of a narcotic arrangement comprises of: Start a solitary narcotic prescriber, utilizing a solitary drug store, utilizing pill checks and occasional pee drug testing.

Consider checking your state’s physician recommended drug observing system to ensure that the patient isn’t getting idea from other prescribers

Respect non-pharmacologic and non-narcotic treatments (i.e., active recuperation, needle therapy, skin cures, NSAIDs) first.

On the off chance that the patient is hospitalized with extreme agony, his or smooth out narcotic need can be controlled, and narcotic withdrawal can be halted by changing over buprenorphine to methadone at 30 to 40 mg/day. On the off chance that narcotic withdrawal proceeds with standard day by day methadone portions can be extended in 5 to 10mg augmentations—this strategy grant titration of the narcotic pain relieving for torment control in the absence of narcotic withdrawal.

Observing

For patients with substance misuse confusion in suspension, the objective (similarly as with some other patient in torment) is to supply sufficient relief from discomfort and spotlight on turning away backslide. Backslide is had an impact in intrapersonal and relational stressors (for example torment related diminished personal satisfaction, overlooked melancholy, enthusiastic and social nervousness) and the failure to utilize a beneficial adapting reaction.

Ceaselessly ask about different substances or utilize their agony medicine to secure high or adapt to stressors – remember them that these are questions requested from all patients.

Ordinary contact or visits license for close tolerant assessment and proposal of restricted amounts of narcotics.

Reexamine narcotic arrangement

To perceive backslide, screening devices, for example, pee drug screenings and proposal checking projects can be utilized. On the off chance that degeneration is perceived and narcotic detoxification is attempted, gradually tighten narcotic portion (generally close to 20-25% like clockwork) to lessen withdrawal manifestations and afterward quit utilizing. It is difficult to keep support endeavors towards recuperation and keep oversee narcotic access. Backslide ought not be respected a treatment disappointment however is a piece of the interaction of progress from an addictive infection to oversee torment the executives.

Consider that impulse is a persistent, backsliding sickness – and react with rising construction and sympathy.

Evaluation and Management – Patient Case

Assessment of JB utilizing the Opioid Risk Tool shows that the danger of abuse is low. JB was analyzed for uneasiness and sorrow upon entrance and is dealt with well on bupropion and as of late isn’t exhorted anxiolytics or muscle-relaxants. Non-narcotic torment treatments have been tried comprising of naproxen and now dexamethasone however are not completely satisfactory “old” serious back torment, “new” bone agony, nor dyspnea.

The hospice talk with JB and her guardian that narcotic treatment seemed the worthwhile alternative to decrease both her old and new side effects. The Butrans 15mcg/hr fix is limited for the agony she is confronting, and torment may torment, further narrowing its utilization. JB acquiesce to narcotic treatment. Suppositions of JB and her parental figure are then assessed, and bearings on legitimate removal of undesired prescriptions. A patient-supplier concession to narcotic safe practices and results is applied. Drug direction is as per the following:

Day 1 – Drop Burtons to 10mcg/hr with beginning of Morphine (Roxanol) 20mg/mL oral aggregate at a portion of 0.25mL (5mg) PO at regular intervals needed for torment.

Days 4-7 – Reduce Butrans to 5mcg/hr and assess the utilization of advancement morphine and direct portion/routine correspondingly.

Day 8 or Later Unfasten – Butrans fix and start booked utilization of Morphine. Thought can be made as of now for beginning methadone planned treatment for torment or another long-acting narcotic. Methadone is practical as it controls blended kinds of agony, is associated with less maltreatment probably contrasted with other narcotics, and JB isn’t a threat for drug-illness connections. Bupropion represents a normal medication drug trade bringing about expanded degrees of methadone; by and by, a methadone portion equilibrium can be made to represent this communication at the hour of portion change.
