#nosebleeds can have a variety of causes

[triptychofvoids]

Heya doc , my nose is bleedin' (for the fourth time ever) any advice man?

- the bite of 87

you all like to send me such time sensitive questions....

firstly, stay calm, its not the end of the world. dont tilt your head back, because youre not going to want blood running down your throat and into your stomach (thats a very easy way to become nauseous), instead youll want to tilt your head forward or lean forward and gently pinch the bridge of your nose and apply pressure there for about 5-10 minutes. repeat this as necessary until it stops but it will most likely work the first time. and i assume most people dont want blood running down their faces and onto their clothes or floor so you can stop that with a tissue or paper towel or whatever else. and, the obligatory 'if you cant get it to stop after 20+ minutes consider seeking medical attention' as usual.

The Tar Fields of Baalzi

Stretching across the northern reaches of Slukea like a festering wound lies the Tar Fields of Baalzi, where pools of sentient blackness bubble and whisper secrets that drive men to madness. This is no natural tar seep, but rather something far more sinister - as if some ancient entity's blood had seeped into the earth and refused to die, maintaining a horrible half-life that mocks our understanding of death itself.

The tar exists in perpetual motion, flowing in patterns that defy physics and reason. It moves upstream, climbs walls, and occasionally rises into humanoid shapes that stand motionless for days before collapsing back into the mire. Most disturbing are the faces that form in its surface - not mere random patterns, but detailed visages that speak in languages that predate mankind, their words carrying fragments of knowledge that mortal minds were never meant to contain.

Scholars from the Praath Holdfast have identified thirteen distinct varieties of tar, each with its own peculiar properties. The most common variety, which they term "Whisperblack," seems to actively seek out living creatures, flowing towards any who approach its pools. Those who listen too long to its murmurings inevitably attempt to immerse themselves in its depths, their faces showing perfect peace even as the tar consumes them. The rarest form, "King's Tears," appears as golden droplets floating atop pools of pure darkness. These droplets are said to grant visions of possible futures, though every future shown ends in apocalyptic horror.

Strange structures rise from the depths of the larger tar pools - twisted spires of black glass that seem to have grown rather than been built. These towers emit a low humming that causes nosebleeds in most humans, though some sensitive individuals claim to hear beautiful music within the drone. The Praath have attempted to study these structures, but their surveying equipment invariably fails, showing measurements that change with each reading, as if the towers themselves refuse to maintain consistent dimensions.

The air above the tar fields is heavy with toxic fumes that produce vivid hallucinations before bringing death. Yet these are not the fevered dreams of a dying mind, for different individuals report seeing the same visions - vast cities that never existed, beings of impossible geometry, and great battles fought with weapons that could unmake reality itself. Most disturbing are the consistent reports of a massive entity sleeping beneath the tar fields, its slow breathing causing the tar to rise and fall like a great black sea.

Life exists here, though nothing that should be termed natural. Creatures born of the tar occasionally emerge from the pools - things with too many limbs or eyes, beings that seem to shift between different forms, abominations that ignore the basic laws of flesh and bone. They leave trails of tar that flow back to their source, as if the pools themselves are extending pseudopods to explore their surroundings. These tar-born monstrosities seem to serve some incomprehensible purpose, gathering objects and unfortunate creatures which they drag back into the depths.

The indigenous tribes of Slukea believe the tar fields to be sacred, though not in any life-affirming sense. Their shamans claim the tar is the blood of dead gods, spilled in wars fought before the first human walked the earth. They perform disturbing rituals at the edges of the pools, cutting themselves and letting their blood mix with the tar. Those who survive this ceremony are forever changed, gaining strange powers but losing some fundamental aspect of their humanity in exchange.

At seemingly random intervals, the tar fields emit deep, resonant sounds that can be heard for leagues - as if something massive is calling out from deep beneath the earth. When this occurs, all the pools pulse in unison, and those who study such phenomena report that the stars above the tar fields briefly shift into unfamiliar configurations. The Praath have attempted to document these events, but their records show maddening inconsistencies, as if the very act of observation causes reality to fracture.

Most terrifying are the "still pools" - patches of tar so black they appear to be holes cut in reality itself. Nothing that enters these pools has ever been observed to come out, not even sound. The Praath believe these pools may be portals to some other realm of existence, though what manner of realm could connect to such places is best left unconsidered. Their researchers claim to have measured these pools as being simultaneously bottomless and only a few inches deep - a paradox that has driven more than one natural philosopher to madness.

I have spent many years studying the mysteries of Arkera, but the Tar Fields of Baalzi represent something that defies all attempt at rational understanding. This is a place where reality itself seems to break down, where the line between matter and consciousness blurs, and where the very ground beneath one's feet might harbor thoughts and desires of its own. Those who wish to maintain their sanity would do well to stay far from this place, for some mysteries are better left unprobed, some knowledge better left unlearned.

Today I come a bit with World building specifically ancient magic. I came up with the idea that there are varieties of different ancient magic and with the help of @myherowearsanironsuit (who came up with other variety's and the colors thank you for it) we have alot of powers within these variety's!

I will use this post in particular for every variety that I have yet to draw or will have yet to come.

So let's start with yellow since it's the easiest you explain for now and Hibiscus is a great example of it:

TW: blood in form of a nosebleed!

Imma explain a bit more of what we have so far for Telepathy:

•communication with the persons mind. I mean pretty self explanatory but I'll explain. When this power is used the persons thoughts are put into the others mind (see upper left doodle). It is often times used to talk like Hibiscus does because of her disability. She "talks" with statist no. 27 via thoughts. However it can not be exactly used to control someone. You can put the thought into someone but you can't take control of their thoughts.

•people who have a really strong connection, or bond, with a person with telepathic powers, experience more than often enough that they suddenly hear the thoughts of the person, even if said person didn't intent to. This can vary between a short and a long time (see upper right doodle)

•moving objects with their mind. Actually also pretty self explaining but basically you move certain objects. However based on of how big the object is and how tall it can be easier or harder. The harder it is, the more energy must be used this can lead to the rest of the powers being shut off to give it all to moving the object.

•people with telepathy can also "create" short or long ranged weapons made out of the telepathic energy. Depending how well the person is trained it can vary how long the weapon stays and how powerful it is!

This is now more something that goes for pretty much any ancient magic in general but here is the telepathic version:

•if people are feel a very strong emotion, like really really strong, the power can go crazy. Really crazy. Objects are moved without intent, the mind goes crazy and this can lead to a nosebleed or even getting unconscious! (See colored picture on the left)

•when people sleep, their magic also takes a rest like a battery you could say. In general if the magic isn't used for a while it regenerates itself also even if awake, but sleeping is a more quicker and efficent way. (See lower left doodle) (if the person however feels a very strong emotion it can happen that a few things lift off around them. Not as bad when they wake up. It's really mild)

•getting hit with a curse the powers can and will be in a way shut off. For example if hit with the crucious curse, all telepathic communication gets shot off, any flying object fall down due to not even held anymore and if the curse was really nasty it can cause also that they can't feel the magic for a while. (See lower right doodle)

And that is so far everything we have for the telepathic version. And again thanks for @myherowearsanironsuit for helping and working together on it.

(Also whoever finds the easter egg I put in here you get five cookies or a large one)

What Causes Nosebleeds? Lifestyle Habits That Might Be to Blame

Nosebleeds, though often harmless, can be quite alarming, especially when they occur frequently. So, what causes nosebleeds? There are several potential factors at play, and understanding them can help you prevent or manage them more effectively. Often, these causes can be linked to various lifestyle habits and environmental factors. This article will explore how certain behaviors and conditions may be contributing to your nosebleeds, and what steps you can take to reduce their occurrence.

Key Takeaways

Nosebleeds can be caused by a variety of factors, from environmental conditions like dry air to lifestyle habits such as smoking or nasal picking.

Common causes include dry air, sinus infections, and the overuse of medications.

Habits like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and nasal decongestant misuse can significantly increase the risk of nosebleeds.

Simple lifestyle changes like using a humidifier and avoiding nasal irritation can help prevent nosebleeds.

Common Causes of Nosebleeds

Nosebleeds can happen for many reasons, but they typically result from damage to the blood vessels inside the nose. Here are some of the most common causes:

Dry Air: How Weather Affects Your Nose

Dry air, particularly in winter or in air-conditioned environments, is one of the primary culprits behind nosebleeds. When the air is dry, the delicate membranes inside your nose become dry and cracked, making them more susceptible to bleeding. This is one of the most frequent causes of nosebleeds, especially in areas with cold winters or low humidity.

Allergies: A Trigger for Frequent Nosebleeds

Allergic reactions can lead to nosebleeds as well. When you have allergies, your body releases histamine, which can cause the blood vessels in your nose to become inflamed and more prone to bleeding. Additionally, frequent sneezing and rubbing your nose can exacerbate the condition, leading to irritation and nosebleeds.

Sinus Infections: When Your Sinuses Cause Problems

Sinus infections, or sinusitis, are another common cause of nosebleeds. When the sinus passages become inflamed due to infection, the blood vessels inside the nose can be affected, leading to a nosebleed. Sinus infections often come with symptoms like nasal congestion, pressure in the face, and a runny nose, making it easier for the delicate blood vessels to break.

Use of Medications: Overuse of Nasal Sprays or Blood Thinners

Certain medications can also contribute to nosebleeds. Nasal decongestant sprays, when used for extended periods, can dry out the nasal passages and make them more prone to bleeding. Similarly, blood thinners, commonly prescribed for conditions like heart disease or clotting disorders, can increase the likelihood of nosebleeds by affecting your blood’s ability to clot.

Lifestyle Habits That Might Contribute to Nosebleeds

In addition to environmental factors and medications, certain lifestyle habits can significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing nosebleeds. Here are some habits that may be contributing to the problem:

Smoking: Its Impact on Nasal Health

Smoking is a known irritant to the respiratory system, and the nasal passages are no exception. The chemicals in cigarette smoke can dry out and inflame the lining of the nose, making it more susceptible to bleeding. Additionally, smoking impairs the blood vessels, which can increase the frequency and severity of nosebleeds.

Poor Humidity Control at Home or Work

If the humidity level in your home or workplace is too low, it can lead to dry air that irritates your nasal passages. This is particularly true in air-conditioned environments or during winter months when indoor heating systems can lower humidity levels. Keeping the air humidified can help prevent dryness in the nose, which is one of the primary causes of nosebleeds.

Picking Your Nose: Why It’s Harmful

Nasal picking is a common habit that can cause injury to the delicate blood vessels inside your nose. Even small amounts of force can rupture these blood vessels, leading to a nosebleed. It’s important to avoid this habit to protect your nasal passages and reduce the risk of bleeding.

Overusing Nasal Decongestants: Risks and Side Effects

While nasal decongestants can be effective at relieving nasal congestion, overusing them can cause the lining of the nose to become irritated and dry. This, in turn, increases the risk of nosebleeds. It's recommended to use nasal sprays and decongestants sparingly and to follow the guidelines provided by your healthcare provider.

Drinking Alcohol: How It Affects Blood Vessels

Alcohol consumption can lead to dilation of blood vessels, including those in the nose. This makes the blood vessels more likely to rupture, especially when the air is dry. Drinking alcohol in excess may not only increase the chances of a nosebleed but also worsen the severity of an existing nosebleed.

The Impact of Diet on Nosebleeds

What you eat can also influence your risk of nosebleeds. Here’s how:

Foods That May Dry Out the Nasal Passages: Spicy foods, for example, can cause temporary irritation in the nose and lead to dryness. While this might not cause a nosebleed directly, it can make your nose more vulnerable to bleeding if the air is already dry.

Hydration and Its Role in Preventing Nosebleeds: Drinking plenty of water and maintaining good hydration is essential for overall health, including the health of your nasal passages. Well-hydrated mucous membranes are less likely to crack and bleed.

Preventing Nosebleeds: Lifestyle Adjustments

Making some simple lifestyle changes can significantly reduce your risk of nosebleeds. Here are a few preventive measures to consider:

Humidifying Your Environment: Using a humidifier in your home, especially during winter, can keep the air from becoming too dry. This will help keep your nasal passages moist and reduce the likelihood of nosebleeds.

Avoiding Harmful Habits: Quit smoking and avoid frequent nasal picking to protect the blood vessels in your nose.

Proper Medication Use and Care: Follow your doctor’s instructions when using nasal decongestants or blood-thinning medications. Avoid prolonged use of nasal sprays and opt for saline solutions if you need a decongestant.

Conclusion

Nosebleeds are common, but understanding what causes nosebleeds can help you prevent them. By paying attention to lifestyle factors like air quality, hydration, and habits such as smoking or nasal picking, you can significantly reduce your risk. Making simple changes to your environment and behaviors can go a long way in minimizing the occurrence of nosebleeds and improving your overall nasal health.

FAQs

Can stress cause nosebleeds? Stress itself isn’t a direct cause of nosebleeds, but it can lead to behaviors like frequent nose rubbing or picking, which may trigger a nosebleed.

Are nosebleeds a sign of a more serious condition? In most cases, nosebleeds are not serious. However, if you experience frequent or heavy nosebleeds, it’s a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

When should I see a doctor about frequent nosebleeds? If you experience nosebleeds more than once a week, or if they’re severe and hard to control, it's best to see a healthcare provider.

How can I prevent nosebleeds while traveling to dry areas? Carry a portable humidifier, stay hydrated, and apply a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist while traveling to dry climates.

This article provides a comprehensive look at what causes nosebleeds, highlighting the role of lifestyle habits and environmental factors in contributing to the problem. Simple adjustments to your daily habits can go a long way in preventing them.

Pediatric health issues in winter and how to tackle them.

As the winter season approaches, it is important for parents to be aware of potential health issues that may arise in their children. Winter weather can bring a variety of challenges, from cold and flu season to dry air, and potential exposure to winter storms and shorter days can increase the risk of illness. By taking a proactive approach to your child's health, you can help prevent or mitigate many of these potential issues. One of the most common health issues during the winter months is the flu. The flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus. Symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. The flu can be especially dangerous for young children, as their immune systems are not yet fully developed. To protect your child from the flu, it is important to get them vaccinated each year. The flu vaccine is safe and effective, and it can help prevent your child from getting sick. Another potential health issue during the winter months is dry air. Cold weather can cause the air inside your home to become dry, which can lead to a variety of respiratory problems, including coughing, sore throat, and nosebleeds. To help combat dry air, you can use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. This can help keep your child's airways moist and healthy. In addition to the flu and dry air, winter weather can also bring the potential for exposure to winter storms. Winter storms can cause power outages, road closures, and other disruptions to daily life. It is important to be prepared for the possibility of a winter storm. This means having a supply of non-perishable food, water, and other essentials on hand in case you need to stay home for an extended period of time. You should also make sure your child has warm clothing, including a hat, gloves, and a coat, to help protect them from the cold.

Some steps parents can take to help keep their children healthy during the winter months include: 1. Encourage frequent hand washing: Cold and flu viruses are easily spread through hand-to-hand contact, so it's important to encourage children to wash their hands frequently, especially before eating and after using the bathroom. 2. Dress children in layers: Cold weather can be harsh on children's skin, so it's important to dress them in layers to help keep them warm and dry. This will also make it easier to adjust their clothing as the weather changes throughout the day. 3. Make sure children get enough exercise: During the winter months, it can be tempting to stay indoors, but regular physical activity is important for children's overall health. Encourage them to go outside and play, even in cold weather, or find indoor activities that get them moving. 4. Keep an eye on their diet: Eating a healthy, balanced diet is important for children's health all year round, but it's especially important during the winter months when their immune systems may be weakened by the cold weather. Make sure they're getting plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-rich foods. 5. Get the flu vaccine: The flu is a serious illness that can be dangerous for children, particularly those who are very young or have underlying health conditions. Getting the flu vaccine can help protect children from getting sick and may also reduce the severity of the illness if they do get the flu. Overall, it's important to take extra care of children's health during the winter months. By following these tips, parents can help keep their children healthy and happy all season long.

"September Birthstone: The Timeless Beauty and Power of Sapphire"

Embrace Your September Birthstone: Sapphire

Hey, September born! Each month has its own special gem, and for those born in September, it's the enchanting Sapphire. Bestowing a piece of jewelry with this birthstone is believed to bring the wearer good luck and protection. Birthstones symbolize the month of birth according to the Gregorian calendar.

What Makes Sapphire Special

The Sapphire, associated with truth, sincerity, and consistency, is the birthstone for September. Traditionally, Sapphires are believed to possess mystical properties that enhance vision, understanding, and interpretation. They are reputed to be effective in treating medical issues like lowering fevers, reducing inflammation, and aiding with hearing problems. Sapphires are also thought to amplify the effects of Venus and banish negative thoughts.

The Historical Significance of Sapphire

The word "Sapphire" is derived from the Greek word for blue. Since ancient times, blue sapphires have symbolized honesty, loyalty, purity, and trust. They are one of the most popular engagement gemstones today. While sapphires are found in many parts of the world, the most prized ones come from Myanmar, Kashmir, and Sri Lanka. The most sought-after sapphires are those with a deeply saturated violet-blue color and a silky transparency. Among the rarest and most beautiful varieties is the pink-orange corundum, reminiscent of a tropical sunset.

Fun Facts About Sapphires

Sapphires have been cherished as precious gemstones for thousands of years, popular in ancient Rome, Persia, and throughout the Middle Ages. Thanks to their hardness, sapphires are used in various industrial applications. For example, the Apple Watch Series 3 features lab-created sapphire crystals in its screen to make it more scratch-resistant. On the Mohs scale of hardness, only diamonds, with a rating of 10, can scratch sapphires, which score a 9.

The Many Colors of Sapphires

While sapphires are typically thought of as rich blue, they actually come in nearly every color of the rainbow, including pink, peach, orange, yellow, green, aqua, and purple. Red sapphires are known as rubies. The rarest sapphire is the pinkish-orange variety called Padparadscha, named after the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. These gemstones are traditionally found in Sri Lankan rivers.

The Durability of Sapphires

Sapphires are among the most durable natural elements on Earth. They are rated on their ability to withstand scratching based on the Mohs scale of hardness, scoring a 9 out of 10. Their colors are derived from trace elements within the mineral corundum. Blue sapphires contain iron and titanium, while chromium can turn corundum pink or red, the latter being classified as ruby.

Famous Sapphires

One of the most famous royal sapphires today is the engagement ring given by Britain's Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, now worn by Princess Catherine. It features a 12-carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

Healing Properties of Sapphire

Though sapphire typically refers to the rich blue gemstone variety of corundum, this royal gemstone occurs in every color except red, which is classified as ruby. Historically, it has been used to treat eye infections and improve vision. Blue sapphire is also used to alleviate headaches, fever, nosebleeds, and ear issues, including hearing problems, infections, and vertigo.

Emotional and Spiritual Benefits

Sapphire frees us from our "inner prisons" and psychic suffering, which can cause emotional shutdown. It is an effective aid in treating anxieties or even psychosis, releasing depression and enhancing mood. Sapphire brings calm and focus to the mind and restores balance within the body. It is a stone of spiritual power and wisdom, bringing prosperity and sustaining the blessings of life. Sapphire helps express what we think and feel, allowing us to convey our truths and generate our own realities.

Chakra and Energy Alignment

Blue sapphire ranges in color from light blue to indigo. If your birthday falls within specific periods, a sapphire of the corresponding color can serve as a valuable channel to your guardian angel. Sapphire ensures a smooth flow of energy within the body and spirit, facilitating the expression of thoughts, truths, and compassion.

In conclusion, the September birthstone, sapphire, is not only a symbol of loyalty and truth but also a powerful gemstone with numerous healing and spiritual benefits. Whether you wear it for its beauty, its historical significance, or its mystical properties, sapphire remains a timeless and cherished gem.

BACKSTORY

GROWING UP

Jack Morgan Ryder was born to a famous print reporter and a socialite turned stay-at-home housewife. While many would have considered his childhood idyllic from the outside, looking in at a gorgeous historical property in the Gotham countryside, practically no one saw beyond the windows. Jack’s mother suffered from a variety of co-morbid mental disorders, none of which were ever revealed to the public.

She was treated by a house-call psychiatrist named Dr. Hugo Strange, who only seemed to make her believe her hallucinations more deeply as time went on. When left alone for the weeks at a time his father would leave for work in Metropolis, Jack was subject to his mother’s hallucination induced fits of rage, paranoia, and violence. He was often locked in a closet while his mother drank and dosed her brain away.

During these times, she would tell him the story of ‘The Creeper’ , a boogeyman she was told childhood horror stories about by her grandfather. She described the being as a cackling set of teeth, a pair of bright red eyes, and sharp, bloody claws that would reach out from the shadows, shrieking in glee as it stole naughty children away in the night. To cope with the trauma of being locked in a small, dark space and tormented by his mother, Jack’s consciousness shattered into a plural system. He gained one alter, a non-aged protector and gatekeeper, who took the name ‘The Creeper’.

This alter would function as Jack’s ‘imaginary friend’ in the closet, who would keep him company in the scary moments of loneliness. His parents, however, saw this as a possible case of possession after Creeper fronted and acted violently against Jack’s mother, tackling her to the ground and mocking her viciously when Jack was 14. After this, an exorcism was attempted, and after that failed, he was sent to Dr. Strange’s in-patient treatment center. This was to keep the secret of Jack’s mental health struggles under wraps, like his mother. Strange was trusted to keep things secret.

Jack has no conscious recollection of what happened to him at the treatment center, as Creeper fronted for the majority of his time there, but what he does recall isn’t pleasant. Memories of repetitive stimulation therapy, hypnosis, and isolation plague his dreams to this day, while Creeper keeps the other memories of torture and hosings locked away. Eventually, after six months, Jack was released after his hypnosis treatment stuck, and Creeper was repressed as a ‘boogeyman’ once more.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Jack went to college for journalism, graduating with top honors among his class. His father died four days before his graduation, leaving a hole of grief in his memory. Jack distanced from his mother, leaving her to eventually enter hospice and pass away when he was 30. He kept her mental illness a secret, according to his father’s wishes.

REBIRTH

By the time his mother passed away, Jack had become known in journalist circles as a tough and relentless investigator, who would always get to the bottom of stories assigned to him. He was eventually hired as a weekend anchor for GCN, a coveted position for any journalist, let alone one so young. Having encountered so many supervillains during his on-site reporting, he was offered his own series of news specials a year later, and began to cover the Gotham crime circuit.

During the filming of the special on the Joker, Jack uncovered an ongoing plot connecting him with a famous stem-cell specialist, Dr. Vincent Yatz, who was working on a cell regeneration serum for military applications. Wanting to find out the reason why such a scientist would be working with the Joker in secret, he snuck into the lab with a video camera. What he found, along with evidence of some sort of alien stem cells and Smilex samples,  was the scientist trying to hide the last remaining viable sample of his cell regeneration formula. When he began to question him about the shady business he’d been conducting with one of Gotham’s most famous criminals, Yatz explained that his funding from the military had been cut due to lack of progress. Joker was his last resort for funding, and his chemical Smilex had been a key-part of the successful formula. Only now, Joker wanted it for himself. He proposed Jack take the sample, but Jack instead suggested the authorities. When he had his back turned, the scientist snuck a sudden sedative injection into the back of Jack’s shoulder.

When he awoke the next day, he was in his bed, with his video camera on the desk with no footage. He felt sick and dizzy, like was coming down with something, but couldn’t recall anything from the night before. Examining himself showed a strange pattern of injection marks on his back, each in the gaps in his spine. He found out from his producer and then-girlfriend, Vera, that he’d come home drunk from a party with her, and he assumed the entire incident of going to the lab had been a dream, rather than reality. Later in their relationship, however, she would insist she hadn’t even seen him that night.

He went on with the filming of the Joker special, going on-location to ACE Chemical Plant to cover the supposed origins of the Crowned Prince of Crime. While broadcasting live, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and their henchmen took the film crew by surprise with gas bombs of Smilex gas. While the rest of the crew were killed by the exposure, Jack Ryder continued to cackle and laugh longer than them all. He could feel something wrong with his body, like his cells were all vibrating against each other.

Surprised and insulted, Joker revealed that he’d kidnapped Dr. Yatz, who had then turned him to Jack to find the last remaining ‘HA-compound’. Not knowing that the sample was actually inside of Jack Ryder’s body, he decided to kill him and force Yatz to make more of it later. He shot Jack Ryder point blank in the head on what he thought was live television, however the feed had actually been cut off since the gas attack. Only a few at the tv station, as well as Batman and his team through a hacked feed, saw the shot. After shooting him, Joker kicked him over the catwalk and into the vat of chemicals below.

Jack’s body ended up being sucked down into the drainage system and launched into Gotham Bay, where someone else woke up in his place. The Creeper had been able to resurface in the wash of trauma, and began to wreak goofy havoc on the town in search of the Joker. When he tracked down the Henchmen, he ran across Harley Quinn, who he assumed to be a woman kidnapped by the Joker and in danger. He relentlessly pursued her back to the Joker’s hideout, despite her trying to tell him she was working with the Joker, not kidnapped by him. Eventually the chaotic chase drove Joker desperate, and it was only when Batman managed to catch up to the three that Joker turned himself in willingly just to avoid being pursued anymore. Batman had to convince Creeper of his good intentions before he would allow the Caped Crusader close enough to him and Harley to dose him with a sedative.

Batman devised a medical patch to repress the mutations and superpowers, allowing Jack to return to ‘a normal life’ as long as he kept using them. However, over time the patches became less and less potent, and Jack would eventually indulge his own desires to take up vigilantism in the form of his alter, Creeper. Over time, Creeper proved himself a useful ally to Batman and many other heroes, and he was accepted into the Justice League.

ADDITIONAL CANON

During the events of the Eclipso Reign, Creeper was working with a JLI team when he was attacked by an Eclipsed local in East Africa, who threw him into a pit of rabid hyenas. They tore his body apart, and both Creeper and Jack Ryder were presumed dead. One year later, a reporter by the name of Miriam Leary found Jack Ryder wandering in a stupor in South Africa. He had lost all memory of the past years, and any knowledge of Creeper. All he could remember was having to dig himself out of a mass grave. She returned him home, where he checked himself into the in-patient program at Arkham Asylum.

There he met Dr. Skolos, a psychologist specializing in hypnotherapy. He underwent regression treatments to try and unlock his repressed memories, mainly at Skolos’ insistence and not his own desire. Through the regression processes, visions, nightmares, and hallucinations of Creeper began to appear, terrifying and tormenting Jack most of his waking hours. He recently refused to leave Arkham, partly because he’s worried something inside of him is truly dangerous, and partly because he senses something horrible and corrupt is happening just under his nose. His treatment is being kept secret, and he has kept out of the public light outside of announcing his living status.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Plywood Sheets

Introduction - 

Plywood is a popular building material made up of thin layers of wood veneers, bonded together with strong adhesive. It is widely used in various applications such as furniture, flooring, and construction. Plywood sheets come in various grades and thicknesses, and they have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Plywood sheets are a widely used building material that is made by gluing together multiple thin layers of wood veneers. These sheets are known for their strength, durability, and versatility, and are used in a variety of applications, including furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and construction.

In this article, we will discuss the pros and cons of plywood sheets.

Advantages of Plywood Sheets - 

High Strength and Durability - 

Plywood sheets are known for their high strength and durability. The cross-grain construction of the wood veneers makes plywood sheets stronger than solid wood of the same thickness. 

The adhesive used to bond the veneers together is also strong and durable, making plywood sheets resistant to cracking, splitting, and warping.

Versatility -

Plywood sheets are versatile and can be used in various applications. They are commonly used in furniture, cabinets, and flooring, but they can also be used in construction, packaging, and even in boat building. Plywood sheets can be easily cut and shaped into different sizes and shapes, making them suitable for different projects.

Stability -

Plywood sheets are stable and do not expand or contract with changes in temperature and humidity. This stability makes them suitable for use in areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. The stability of plywood sheets also means that they can be painted or stained without worrying about the wood expanding or contracting and affecting the finish.

Cost-Effective -

Plywood sheets are a cost-effective building material. They are less expensive than solid wood and can be used in place of more expensive materials such as particleboard or MDF. Plywood sheets are also easy to transport and handle, reducing labor and transportation costs.

Aesthetics -

Plywood sheets come in different grades and can be made from different types of wood, giving them a unique look and aesthetic appeal. Some types of plywood sheets, such as birch plywood, have a smooth and attractive surface that can be left unfinished, while others, such as marine plywood, have a rougher texture suitable for outdoor use.

Ease of Installation -

Plywood sheets are easy to install and work with, making them a great choice for DIY projects. 

They can be cut to size with standard woodworking tools, and their lightweight nature makes them easy to handle and maneuver.

Resistance to Moisture -

Plywood sheets are resistant to moisture, making them an ideal choice for use in areas with high humidity or moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens. They are also less susceptible to warping and rotting when exposed to water.

Contact Us for more info!!!

Disadvantages of Plywood Sheets -

Moisture Resistance -

While plywood sheets are more stable than solid wood, they are not completely resistant to moisture. If exposed to moisture for a prolonged period, plywood sheets can delaminate and lose their strength. This makes them unsuitable for outdoor use without proper waterproofing.

Formaldehyde Emissions -

Plywood sheets are typically made with adhesives that contain formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. 

Formaldehyde emissions from plywood sheets can cause health problems such as eye irritation, nosebleeds, and asthma. While some manufacturers have reduced the amount of formaldehyde in their products, it is still a concern for those who are sensitive to chemicals.

Appearance -

While some people appreciate the natural look of plywood sheets, others find them less attractive than solid wood or other materials. The visible layers of wood veneers and the seams between them can be a distraction, especially if the plywood is used in furniture or decorative applications.

Quality Control -  

Plywood sheets can vary in quality depending on the manufacturer and the grade of the plywood. Lower quality plywood may have knots, voids, or other defects that can affect its strength and appearance. 

It is important to carefully inspect plywood sheets before using them to ensure that they meet the required specifications.

Limited Thickness -

Plywood sheets are typically limited in thickness, with most sheets ranging from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch. This can be a limitation for some applications, such as heavy-duty construction or furniture that requires thicker materials.

Susceptibility to Damage - 

Plywood sheets are more susceptible to damage than solid wood. They can be easily scratched or dented, which can affect their appearance and longevity.

Appearance -  

Plywood sheets have a distinct look that may not be to everyone's taste. While some people appreciate the natural wood grain and knots, others prefer the uniform appearance of solid wood.

Make your Home Decor with the Plywood Sheets from Uro Veneer World.

Limited Size - 

Plywood sheets come in standard sizes, which can be limiting for some projects. While they can be cut to size, this may result in additional waste and expense.

Limited Strength -

While plywood sheets are strong, they are not as strong as solid wood. This can be an issue in applications where extreme strength is required.

Environmental Concerns -  

Plywood sheets are made from wood, which raises environmental concerns. While many manufacturers use sustainably sourced wood, there are still concerns about deforestation and the impact on ecosystems.

Conclusion : -

Plywood sheets are a versatile and cost-effective building material that is used in a variety of applications. They offer many advantages, including strength, durability, and resistance to moisture. 

However, they also have some disadvantages, including formaldehyde emissions, susceptibility to damage, and limited size.

When considering using plywood sheets for your project, it is important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages carefully. Consider the specific requirements of your project, as well as your personal preferences and environmental concerns. By doing so, you can make an informed decision and choose the best building material for your needs.

Common Yarrow

Merry meet! This post was inspired by one of my favorite books: North American Wildlife by Reader’s Digest (1982). This blog will include information from the book and information I’ve gathered on my own. Enjoy!~

~COMMON Yarrow~

Achillea millefolium

This plant is part of the Asteraceae family, which is a large family of flowering plants.

Other Names:

• Yarrow

• Plumajillo

• Herbal militaris

• Milfoil

• Nosebleed plant

• Soldier’s woundwort

Plumajillo came from its leaf shape and structure. Herbal militaris and several of the other nicknames come from it’s ability and usage to stop the blood flow from wounds to prevent blood loss.

Identification:

• Branches only near top

• Green spear-head shaped leaves

(Lanceolate)

• Leaves are 2in - 8 in (5cm - 20cm)

• Pinnate leaves (like most ferns)

• Compact cluster of flowers

• 1/2ft - 4 feet (15cm - 122cm)

• White or Pink blooms

• Commonly flowers from May - September

• April - July (South)

• July - September (North)

This plant is extremely widespread and is native to most of temperate North America. It can also be found throughout most of Canada and parts of Europe and China.

Medicinal Properties & Fragrance

Yarrow has been used “to break a fever by increasing perspiration, to treat hemorrhaging and as a poultice for rashes.” Yarrow is used for fever, common cold, and hay fever, menstruation issues, diarrhea, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort or cramping, to induce sweating, and to stop bleeding. Some people chew on the leaves to help with toothache.

Yarrow is also used as a cosmetic/facial cleanser, which I assume is because it has salicylic acid, which helps with acne.

“Yarrow contains many chemicals that might affect blood pressure and possibly have anti-inflammatory effects.”

The plant is known to have a pleasant smell, especially when the foliage is crushed. Thus, it can also be used in an ornamental manner.

Caution

Yarrow is possibly safe when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts. It may cause drowsiness. It can cause skin irritation, so I recommend a patch test if using a product you bought/made with Yarrow. You may be more sensitive to Yarrow if you have an allergy to ragweed or other related plants. Do not take Yarrow if you have a bleeding disorder, pregnant, breast-feeding, or have a surgery within 2 weeks due to the affect on blood.

Please read more Safety concerns and interactions with medicines on https://www.rxlist.com/yarrow/supplements.htm

Spiritual History

Common Yarrow is a herb that was used in traditional medicine for many different things. The genus it is in, Achilles, is based from the Greek Achilles who was said to carry it to treat battle wounds. Achilles was supposedly taught this by Chiron.

Yarrow is considered lucky in Chinese culture and was used during divination. They dried the stalks and used it to randomize in I Ching divination, a type of Chinese cleromancy.

Native American tribes across North America used Yarrow in a variety of ways. They used Yarrow for toothaches, earaches, head cold, pain relief, fever, burns, rashes, and sleep. Several groups also used it for ceremonial uses.

Modern Uses

Other than possible medicinal uses, Yarrow can be used in your craft in a number of ways! You can carry or wear it to protect against negativity, you can use it to heighten your psychic abilities (especially with divination), and promote intelligence (in Chinese culture).

Energy:

Feminine

Planet:

Venus

Element:

Water

Attributes:

Courage; Love; Psychic Powers; Exorcism

How do you feel about Studio Choom’s artist of the month? Both like as a concept but also the actual dances. For me they all sorta blend together but I liked SinB’s and the last half of Soojin’s with the lights and the table. I just wish they’d highlight smaller groups cause I’d love to see Hwanwoong, Byeongwan, or Sua there

i was literally just thinking about aotm when this popped up in my inbox....amazing. i love this.

so as a concept? i think it's fun and i like it! i like that there's a space outside of posting content on their group's own channels for the dancers to show off a little. i don't really know how studio choom is choosing the artists because the variety is HILARIOUS. like if you look at most of them they're all baby 98-01 liners and then there's 86er yunho......comedy. and i agree i do think they should be pulling in artists from smaller groups because i would love to see byeongkwan and sua there. or taeyang. however if they bring hwanwoong on they gotta just end the series, there's only like three people that can follow him up and one of them is enlisted.

as far as each actual dance? there are obviously some i liked and some i didn't like. i think the biggest flaw with the concept is the studio choom space itself, because you kinda half to do something with that white big blank box in order for there to be some kind of impact, especially when there's been almost a dozen aotms now. overall i think the ones that work the best are the ones that capitalize on the freedom of the space by pushing it, as opposed to just relying on the dance itself.

chaeyeon (izone) - i gotta give her a break because she was the first one but i don't particularly like this choreo, nor do i actually think it's that good; it's pretty flat. i also don't think they filmed it that well, which makes it harder to appreciate, but studio choom does get better at that as time goes on.

sinb (gfriend) - she's has ok presence but this is a generally flat performance on the whole.

soojin (gidle) - i like the idea behind the lights but that type of flashlight is too small to have any type of throw when there's stage lights blasting. again, if you want to use practicals like that it's really gotta be dark. i like her theme and i LOVE her outfit, but i don't know that she really embodies this performance; it feels very outside of her and i think that's mostly to do with her performance face.

yunho (tvxq) - i don't think this is yunho's best showing, but also i think that yunho's style in particular is incompatible with this kind of up-close showcase format. i've talked about him here, but yunho has one performance setting and that is 'attempting to light myself on fire so you can see me from the nosebleeds in the tokyo dome' and you can't really reel that in with any kind of readability to a close quarter camera situation. the vices section is much more readable and fun because he lets some of that attitude through, but he gave himself performance face for this one. i like that he brought in some set rather than just practical furniture.

yeji (itzy) - i feel like i've never watched this choreo all the way through because it doesn't have any dynamism. i also don't think the choreo itself does yeji much justice, since the moves slow down in pace in the last half and it makes her look like she's tired.

wooyoung (ateez) - this choreo does a great job of integrating character and the beat changes in a manner that interesting to watch and not particularly easy to perform. it has very complex dynamics because of the way the song is remixed and it's a real strength of wooyoung's that he can maintain the energy even though the choreo demands him to go slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow. i like that studio choom chose wooyoung in the first place because he doesn't get a whole lot of performance time and although yes this is on brand for him and he could have pushed something more unusual, it's still nice to see.

yeonjun (txt) - i really hate the song watermelon sugar so poor yeonjun was already at a disadvantage, but i also don't think it was the right type of song for this narrative. i do like that there wass a narrative and i like that he chose a rock song for the second half, but they don't transition the songs together well and he didn't choose a good rock song. there's a lot of fun ways to blend an acoustic -> amped song that work better than this, and tbh he should have just stuck to one song rather than using two. the jacket guitar move is very fun but overall the choreo doesn't feel like it fits the concept that well, it reads very disharmonious to me.

chaeryeong (itzy) - this is one of my favourite routines! chaeryeong is one of the most effective at utilizing the emotions of the song to enhance the performance and also holding the space for herself as a performer, which i was a bit surprised by since i don't find her to be a standout in itzy. i especially liked the use of the tower cam for an above angle, which was a great way to give a different dimension to the space.

juyeon (the boyz) - the choreographer and/or performance director did a GREAT job working with juyeon's one (1) expression of slighly-menacing-blue-steel. the combination of lighting and keeping the camera in close works really well in conjunction with this type of movement and the first two outfits are so good. they're both excellent examples of how to use black to minimize and disappear body parts: the tight black of his shirt combined with the red ripping though his jeans really emphasize the uncanny feeling that he's crawling out of his own skin in transformation, and the yellow underlayer at ankle, arm, and that sliver of torso gives just enough limb definition while while implying a process of unearthing gold. i do think they flub the final transformation with that plain white and black look though, they should have gone full matthew bourne swan lake with it, honestly.

hyunjin (stray kids) - the single split second of excitement when i thought that hyunjin had chosen an actual mötley crüe song....... and then his betrayal of cutting his hair........... this could have been so much more interesting than it actually was. it's good choreo and i think he performed it well, but it's also very typical of the stray kids brand and i would have liked to see something more experimental from him, especially in this space that's removed from the group, and since he just did something more alternative with red lights!

for me the most effective performances are the ones that use the lighting rig and camera flexibility to its full capacity, like wooyoung's, juyeon's, and chaeryeong's. the interesting thing that the aotm series does is expose how there's definitely a mode of younger gen performance; there are some that are able to shake that better than others, but it's still very present that they're all performing in a way that reads as performing. i don't think that this is a problem, it's just a thing i've been noticing. part of it correlates to them being young, but i also wonder if it correlates to the prevalency of this kind of close-quarters-filmed-content-focus that's been cropping up in the last couple of years, since yunho also adopted a similar style for this specifically. i want to say maybe that it's also to do with the distance involved in performing for a live audience vs a camera (theatre vs film acting) but there are third and fourth gen idols that are good at both, so it might just be circling back around to the point i made here where there's a difference between being able to execute choreo well vs truly embodying a choreo.

AHH I’m just SO IN LOVE with the trio + s/o stealing boxers!!! Omg any chance you could add Kurapika and Leorio too?? If you’re too tired of writing that scenario then like I understand tho no pressure haha. I hope you’ve had an amazing day!!! I love you and your blog more than words can express!!!

Awwweee you’re so cute, anon! thank you so so much for the kind words, I love you too!🥺❤️✨

Kurapika & Leorio’s Reaction to S/O stealing/wearing their boxers

Kurapika:

Kurapika’s face turns bright red when he walks into the room and sees you rummaging through the underwear drawer of his dresser. “(Y/n).” he stutters. You crack a sheepish smile and rub your head, “I’ve just always wanted to try them on.” He exhales deeply and starts laughing, “Well, be my guest then.” He watches you slide them on, trying not to turn into a puddle. You look so hot in them.

He can’t get the thought of you in his boxers out of his head. You start wearing them more frequently. You both love it. His reaction to seeing you in his boxers encourages you to start wearing them even more. When he’s not around you take a few pairs for yourself, hoping he doesn’t necessarily notice. A few days later, he asks you if you’ve seen his favorite pair, not knowing you took them. You nonchalantly tell him you haven’t.

One day, you’re admiring yourself in the bathroom mirror thinking about how cute you look in his favorite pair of boxers. He bursts through the door, not realizing you are in there. As soon as he sees you standing there in his favorite boxers, he picks you up and spins you in a circle, “I should have known that’s where they went. You look scrumptious.” He kisses you and carries you into the bedroom.

Leorio:

You turn around and Leorio is towering over you with a giant smirk across his face, “Caught ya!” he laughs, referencing you standing there with his boxers in your hands. You were so engrossed in your thoughts and delight you didn’t even notice him sneak up on you. Your cheeks flush with embarrassment. How long was he standing there before you noticed?

You smile back him, feeling slightly guilty yet not ashamed. You were curious about what kinds of boxers he owned and how comfy they might be. It was a strange interest of yours, but you couldn’t help yourself. “Let me try them on.” You try to shoo Leorio away, but it doesn’t work. He watches you change into his boxers and he is quite literally drooling at the sight of you.

When you get a moment of peace from him, you take a few more pairs of his boxers. You select a variety of designs more from the bottom of his drawing hoping he won’t notice. You decide you’ll randomly surprise him by wearing his boxers when he least expects his. His reaction is priceless every time. One time he accidentally gets a nosebleed cause he’s so turned on.
