Ah, if it isn’t the bitter reality of my past catching-up to me!
“My past” in this case being my absolute disinterest in the “normal” television shows that captivated my peers growing-up, so that I now have absolutely no idea how to start writing a scene set in a hospital because I never watched a single one of those ER-dramas. Fuck-dammit.
#writing problems#how do i write the starting days of a zombie apocalypse#set in a magical elf hospital#when i don't know ANYTHING ABOUT HOSPITALS AHHHH#or medical care at all tbh!#i have been fortunate enough to be relatively healthy all my life#and unfortunate enough to live in the trashfire hellscape of america where you can't afford to see a doctor anyway#so i don't know what the fuck to do with this scene godsdammit#i feel like sauron#i have a really fun idea i want to do but i just ran face-first into a descendant of melian#and now i have jackety-fuck-all#seriously if anyone has any tips or suggestions or recs for fics or things to read to help please don't hesitate to share#because i am spinning my wheels like whoah and it's soooo frustrating#fuuuuuuck#me#lotr zombie au

weak in the knees for situations where a stoic whumpee allows someone to help them. they don't say a word of acceptance but they don't protest either. Too injured to say no and too tired to deny they need it. Just grudgingly letting a gentle hand guide them to a bed or to wrap a wound. Then a quiet, "thank you." in between sharp breathing as they try not to break down in front of someone else. Love love love shielded vulnerability
#Hey not dead just exhausted and mental health crashed so I had to go AWOL#Sorry fam missed you guys#Thanks for all the asks i see you and ill get to them i promise#Tbh not doing great but hey I'll survive and I've got another little whump scenario stuck in my head#whump ideas#whump writing#whump#whumpblr#whump prompt#whump community#whump prompts#troy talks#whump scenario#whump stuff#whump tropes#Stoic whumpee#injured whumpee#Cw noncon medical care

Mentioned this before but as much as I adore the medic Leo headcanon, my favorite type of it is when it’s basically just Leo knowing the most surface level of stuff and carrying around a super basic first-aid kit in his pack. So he knows how to use gauze, and he’s got a ton of Jupiter Jim branded bandaids, and if you really needed it then he can hit you up with some ibuprofen but other than that? Nothing.
But. I love the idea that that changes post-invasion.
They’re pretty sturdy, all of them, so they can take more than one beating and really only need a bandaid for the fun of it. But the invasion hit harder than ice packs and “lots of rest” would help with, and I can bet that a post being beaten to a pulp Leo would have a lot of time on his hands to reflect and, maybe, learn a thing or two as he waits to get better.
It’s nothing excessive, not at first, but he watches veterinary videos, and live surgeries, and other videos in that same realm (because the books are, uh, a bit too jargon-y for him) multiple times over. Just so he knows. Just in case he needs to know.
In his pack, there’s a first-aid kit. With the use of a mini portal for extra space, the kit has grown to include everything from scalpels to butterfly stitches to sutures to even fiberglass patches.
And obviously the Jupiter Jim brand bandaids stay too.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#medic leo#I especially like the idea that his want to learn more medical stuff is also pushed by him actually wanting to be a better hero too#like if they gotta rescue squishy humans then it’s probably good for them to know how to do basic care just in case!#Leo’s portals would come in clutch for easy access to necessary medical tools#I doubt Leo would be AMAZING at it especially not so young and inexperienced and without proper teaching#but idk I like the idea that the bro who wields the only weapon specially made for killing is the one who is the medic#it’s interesting to me!#and tbh I bet all the bros learn basic first aid too#April DEFINITELY knows it#splinter absolutely knows#but yeah I just really like the hc that Leo holds the bandaids and that’s about as much medical knowledge he’s got and LATER he learns more#like the idea that little Leo desperate to figure out how to contribute wanted to be a medic but then he came to the realization#that he and his family were all WAY TOO STURDY and never really got hurt 💀#most of the time his bandaids went to Mikey who wasn’t ever hurt he just likes colorful stickers and at that point that’s all bandaids were

#seriously the like. not having money and not having a therapist and not having a job and feeling terrible unpredictably#and not having friends or family here and not having any reason to leave the house. and being so reliant on weed to function bc it's#the only medication i have access to for my pain and depression/anxiety that works#has made my tolerance SO high (i had 300mg earlier and it's barely anything. i'm still in bed in pain)#is getting so so so expensive. it makes me so scared. when i go without it it's essentially the same as being unmedicated#i wish health care moved any bit faster. and i wish i had a psychiatrist bc my pcp doesn't wanna prescribe more than zoloft#and it's helpful at keeping me from crying all the time but it doesn't give me any other benefit really so i just feel :x always#i feel like time is pressing down on me like a bug being stepped on and i don't have anywhere to run#and i feel frustrated because im being held in place by pain/illness/fatigue/etc that i'm struggling so hard to get help for#but no one can see any of the things that are holding me here. so they get mad at me and frustrated that i'm struggling so much#idk what to do. i feel like i'm going to alienate everyone i depend on because i can't contribute and can't get answers for them#ahhhhh i wish i had chronically ill friends lol i'm just so lonely all the time i feel less than human TBH

my daily contribution to this account for today is unfortunately a sad one. and this is because it has to do with arkham which, as you all may already know, is usually quite swarming with corruption — one example of this being the fact that blamore has quite literally gotten seriously ill there multiple times. because i mean... he isn't just a normal human being anymore who needs the sun for vitamin D.
blamore needs sunlight or some form of light that is remiscent of it because there are plants literally CONNECTED to its heart, and so its integral that it gets enough light every day. but because he is usually put in isolation almost 24/7, blamore is stuck in his cell a majority of the time. and its quite literally made of the worst material to let light in because they've been so focused on keeping him 'under control' in the past rather than actually giving him what he needs to live. so, its gotten deathly ill there a few times 😬
but one of the few doctors there that actually seem to sort-of care about their patients (joan leland, in this case) had negotiated to have blamore get more time outside with the condition that she was the one watching it. buttt that was only like thirty minutes more, so it took them having to be forced by an outside source to change the lights in his cell to LED ones so he could actually get the benefits of sunlight from inside, though yeah. ALL my friends hate arkham for this as they should've just done that from the BEGINNING
#IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD: musings.#tw: mentions of medical malpractice by arkham staff.#tw: illness.#yeahhh and the fact that blamore has a special containment cell within arkham also makes the fact that they let it go on for so-#long with only getting very limited sunlight regardless of the consequences because they didn't care at ALL about blamore-#itself as a being and only cared about containing him really does say something about how toxic that place really is. like they-#absolutely should just bulldoze the place and fire everyone but a few doctors TBH because although it is a fictional place OFC-#it just ain't right to be treating characters like that and it amazes me how they haven't like gotten shut down by the APA or anything-#because that place is fullll of violations in regards to psychiatry / patient rights but anyhow. that concludes my rant for the night

So what's the lore with Juniper n their relationship with Vitimir n Hettie?
WELL for both, their relationships go back to their school days! Although the difference being that Juniper and Hettie went to St. Epiderm together, while Vitimir went to a different school (Glandus at the time he met Juniper).
I’ve briefly touched on how Juniper and Vitimir met here, so that explains their first meeting. To reiterate, Vitimir was a shy kid that didn’t really have any friends growing up (aside from bugs/whatever little creatures they spent their time around) and was bullied frequently, so that single positive interaction with Juniper, though small, really stuck with him and he never forgot it. Juniper didn’t forget it either, but being the sociable type meeting and talking to lots of different people, that moment sorta blended in with the rest of their memories. So fast forward to them both working as Coven Heads at the same time, Vitimir immediately recognizes Juniper. Despite Juniper changing a lot since his child self, that one good memory left such a big impact on Vitimir as a kid that he still held that soft spot for them. So of course, when Juniper eventually approached him on their own time, Vitimir already had this layer of vulnerability. Even though they might not have recognized him, from Vitimir’s perspective, there was that sense of familiarity and comfort; Juniper might have changed, but that kind kid was still in him. Now that they have the chance, Vitimir wants to actually get to know this one person who had plagued so many of their thoughts as a kid. And the rest is history!!
As for Hettie! Again, she and Juniper attended St. Epiderm together. Hettie was just as terrifying as a kid as she is now. She was everything- a jock, a princess, a bully, a weird girl, whatever you can think of. Though she’s very open about who she is, everyone around her was always so intimidated by the fact that she was unpredictable (and the fact that she’s both the smartest AND strongest person you’d ever meet is terrifying enough on its own). Most everyone- except for Juniper. To Juniper, Hettie was always such a character. She’s always been so confident and unapologetic, able to command people’s attention without even saying a word. Her unpredictability made everything she did so interesting. Juniper so deeply admired this about Hettie. And the fact that she’s 100% his type only drew them closer to her. Hettie was Juniper’s first ever crush, and that love Juniper had for her never faded. Though as kids, they weren’t in the same social circles, they did cross paths a lot, whether it was through Sonia (Scooter Crane’s daughter and childhood best friend to Juniper, who was also in the Healing Track), or Juniper getting injured for whatever ridiculous reasons. At this age, Hettie didn’t reciprocate her feelings (yet), but she had a fondness for Juniper because he was so different from the other kids for the fact alone that they had a (very obvious) crush on her. And while their crush may have caused them to do embarrassing things, and foolishly being used as her own guinea pig from time to time to practice her magic on, Hettie had cared about Juniper. To her, he always made life more fun and interesting. Fast forward to them as Coven Heads- Hettie has grown a stronger affection for Juniper. He’s changed over the years, but he still makes life so much more fun and interesting. Perhaps now, Hettie admires Juniper for the same exact reasons they always have her. They’re still a bit pathetic around her, but Hettie finds it endearing. Not to mention, Juniper still makes for a good doll to experiment on, and she takes good care of her favorite dolls ;-)
#ask#juniper jazz#vitimir#hettie cutburn#junimir#medical mirror#I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION I tried my best to make it sound coherent and not ramble on about certain things 🙏#tried to talk about hettie more bc i don’t think I’ve explained much of the medical mirror stuff publicly yet#or. anything tbh 😭😭#BUT I MEAN I GOTTA GET EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE EVENTUALLY SO THIS IS A START 🙏🙏#I can always expand on anything else if anyone wants me to and is curious :3c#you KNOW how much I love yapping about my stupid peacock I didn’t put all my blood sweat and tears into him for nothin 🫰#ALSO!! FUN LIL THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION BUT DECIDED NOT TO IN THE END BC IT WOULDVE BEEN TOO MUCH-#long story short lets just say hettie chose to hang out w juniper during the night of a school dance 🤭#THAT’S ALL I’LL SAY FOR NOW ABOUT THAT i have Art Ideas for that i -really- want to get to one day#okay i gotta stfu now i told myself i was gonna hold back on the yapping 😭😭😭#OKAY WAIT ONE LAST THING-#idk if anyone actually cares but reminder that I’ve got both junimir and med. mirror playlists if you wanna get a better idea of them!!#theyre not perfect but theyre still fun Okay I’ll shut up for real fr now ✌️

#just saw a post that was like 'if you have religious or moral objections that stop you from providing certain types of medical care maybe#you shouldn't work in healthcare' (paraphrased) and...#what a way to look at the world tbh#like. they're talking about me i think - i am a conscientious objector when it comes to euthanasia#(which granted has come up exactly twice and both cases in a theoretical capacity only this is not a frequent request to me)#and... i am also a good doctor#last week i told someone that her weight doesn't matter to her health with receipts to prove it and she cried#no one had ever told her that before#and that was something that came from me specifically. that was something i would not trust all of the GPs in my practice - a practice of#excellent and compassionate GPs! - to say#i am verifiably doing good in my job that is coming from specifically who i am as a person#i cannot put that down when it comes to issues i care deeply about#fundamentally the fact that i cannot put it down is what makes me a good doctor#i think that's what i'm trying to get at#the reason that i do well by my patients is that i practice out of my values and my ethics#if i did not stand on that core i would not stand at all#so you can't have it both ways. you can't have engaged and active and compassionate healthcare providers without sometimes those engaged an#active providers having things they do not feel comfortable doing#and it is to everyone's service if they are up front about it and do not try to hide (i am suspicious of people who try to hide this)#i am literally figuring this all out as i type hence the v long tag ramble and also being nowhere near the post that started this train#(honestly in med school we talked so much about ethics as like. abortion! euthanasia! trans rights! and the ethics in practice is the littl#things. do you apologise when you mess up. how do you manage a consult with your patient with paranoid dementia and her child in the same#room at one time - or one by one bc that's fraught too. (that one's on top i had one of those today.) how do you act with grace when#you're a bit stressed and your patient is a bit stressed and the nurse wants to add five more things to your book. the day to day ethics is#SUCH a bigger thing when you come to actual practice.)#this is obviously entirely about me and leans on the fact that i largely do think i am doing a good job i am really feeling my own way#to a Thought. but i think to a certain extent it is generalisable

hate my sister's shitty good for nothing boyfriend. can you imagine being a 30yo man with two kids who won't even scramble an egg. Not for his kids, not for his girlfriend, not for himself. literally if my sister doesn't leave out pre-made meals when he's watching the kids he will rip up bread or pour them dry cereal or open a granola bar and make himself microwave dinners. like, lowest effort possible. but if i mention this to my sis, she'll be like "no he's definitely cooked for the kids! he scrambled an egg for them once! i watched him do it!" but it's like...so he scrambled one egg in the last five years. just to like, prove he can? at your direct insistence? should we all clap? like seriously. hate this guy. had to really hold back recently because he had someone over and he was interacting with the kids more than usual for appearances, and he had to keep asking me and my sis what the 5yo was signing because he barely bothered to learn his own son's primary form of communication. i was so tempted to say "that one means 'go home' but you wouldn't know that because you don't take them anywhere." so hard to hold that in. If I had to describe this man in two words they would be these: Low Effort. Not quite bare minimum, but JUST enough to convince my sister that it would be too much hassle to get rid of him. he's stupid as fuck, but just smart enough to quickly stop shit like screaming obscenities at the kids for doing normal kid things. and he once stomped on my headphones and broke them in a fit of rage, but gave my sister money to replace them so it was "fine." Like, my sister thinks that he's just struggling with his anger issues, because he had a bad childhood, blah, blah, and oh he would never actually hurt her or the kids. and like, good for you, but i don't trust like that. genuinely hoping he gets struck by lightning and dies instantly.
#my sister and i do all the hard stuff and most of the easy stuff too tbh#cooking and cleaning and sorting out benefits and insurances and getting the kids to school and events#doctor's appointments and medications and dentist appointments and taxes#we get the groceries and care for all the pets and kids and household things#we both have jobs#i actually have 3 jobs#good for nothing boyfriend makes $12 a year plus some under the table cash as a “private trainer”#which means between that and selling his plasma and borrowing money from his mom he can...pay his super cheap tiny part of rent#and occasionally hand my sister like $20#he doesn't buy groceries or diapers or household supplies or clothing or toys or literally anything#literally the only household chore he does is fold laundry#that's it. and it's not “DO” laundry. it's just folding the clean and dry stuff#you know. the chore my parents would have us do when we were like 10 so we'd feel helpful#the 5yo is medically complex and we frequently make trips to a slightly distant hospital with him#and they literally asked us to stop bringing my sister's boyfriend along because he was disruptive and confusing#which was a polite way to say 'obnoxious and stupid as shit'#do you know how many times in one visit w/the same doctor he would ask 'so when does he get superpowers?'#he also obviously didn't know how to answer basic questions like 'how many times does he poop a day on average'#and 'how often has he been eating and what has he been eating day to day?'#like bro this man can go days without changing a diaper and will not even heat up a can of spaghettios to feed his own kids#he cannot answer those questions with any kind of accuracy#also i'm saying boyfriend because my sister desperately wanted to at least be engaged so she could say fiance in front of ppl#but just like marriage this was apparently a 'waste of effort'#not even the cheapest ring or the most underwhelming proposal or a courthouse wedding was worth his energy so...#yeah glad she hasn't married this waste of air. and i'll be praying for that lightning strike

Just saw a post saying medication “isn’t the answer to adhd” because it just “suppresses the disorder” fuck dude I think you might not understand the point of medication.
Don’t take DayQuil guys! It just suppresses the cold symptoms and then you won’t learn to live with them :(
#look first of all I obviously don’t think it’s ‘lazy’ to do something that helps you. ADHD can be incredibly hard to deal with but is also#one of relatively few mental illnesses and disorders that can often be very effectively treated with medication.#and tbh I don’t care if it IS lazy! why should I have to work four times harder than a neurotypical person to do basic shit?#I fucking WANT the easy way out. shouldn’t the point be to make things easier?#like yeah sure of course medication isn’t 100% effective 100% of the time. but it makes a significant difference for a huge number of people#and you’re being an asshole.

Mom and Duck haven't been able to medicate Pekoe, so I had to drag my ass upstairs to help.
She was under Mom's bed. So I moved the bed - she ran and hid under the guest room bed. Closing the door behind me, I pulled that bed out and reached under it and grabbed Pekoe by the scruff (I KNOW it's not great to do that but she needs her meds dangit) and then pulled her up onto the bed.
Pekoe is terrified of me, so she tends to reach a certain level of absolute horror and freeze up, at which point I was able to hold her still while Mom got the medicine into her
That cat already hated me but at this point she's definitely plotting my demise
#she's upset with all of us at this point tbh#but i seem to be the only one who can actually catch and hold her well enough to get her medicated regularly#apparently Duck tried three times to med her this morning before he had to give up and go to work#cats#pekoe#pekoe honey#mod post#pet care#sick animal

Realizing that my version of Hollyleaf is shaping up to be Homura Akemi adjacent. Sort of.
#shy and demure at first. just wants to help everyone but is deeply insecure and self loathing#and she puts all of her self worth then into upholding the warrior code. becomes a medic to ensure that.#becomes more confident in the role but becomes disillusioned after some devastating secret where she feels cheated#and in the end of her long arc she decides to embrace her ''sins'' by turning against her horrible system entirely#and that involves being with her gay love interest (which she views as sinful but doesnt care anymore)#and at the end of the day their arcs are related to religious trauma#so its not totally the same but like. theres some influence in my line of thought djglkdfjglfg#like she doesnt become obsessed with willowshine and being her protector when thats homuras whole thing in madoka#and homura doesnt like. attempt to kill her own mom and tbh she doesnt really own being a good little christian girl at all#oh also theyre both Emo as Hell#razorverse

#im lost in my own memories as well as recounting what my mother has told me#i will admit i do not fully recall things from before i was 5. but i do have some vague memories. i KNOW Part of Your World was the...#well...first song i ever memorized. i remember putting the movie in my vhs player and rewinding the song . waiting. then pushing play again#to listen to the song and sing along with it. i would sing With ariel. i spent hours doing this with plenty of songs :)#until i got the hang of it and could perfectly (or as perfectly as a prek age kid can) sing it. i did this with a LOT of songs from movies#i sang disney. i sang barbie. (most specifically “free” from princess and the pauper. tbh tho i mostly sang Barbies part and not Ericas???)#but i did sing all of the other girl parts in that movie...#anyway. i joined choir come middle school. was in varsity. joined the highest choir a little 1st year in HS can join when i got into HS#something i still hold pride in bc we had tryouts for it :) i had multiple solos for choir concerts. in my 2nd year of HS i was bumped up#to Chorale choir (aka THE highest choir...intermingling boys and girls) and i even tried out for Show Choir#which you can only try out if you are in Acapella (the highest a freshman can be in) or Chorale. and only 10 to 12 girls make it in#and i made it in :)#sure by then i felt overshadowed but i had a ton of fun :) i quit choir my last two years bc...#well. i was pursuing a possible medical career via classes#but i still sing to this day. its so Relaxing and releases SO much serotonin. and tbh whats the weirdest part..?#when i try to record myself singing i get all nervous. but the moment i hold a microphone? even if im recording? my confidence shoots up#and my anxiety goes away#i love the stage. i love singing. idc if its ''cringe'' or im a Horrible person for ''loving disney'' but without disney songs?#i might not have grown into the person i am with singing as my biggest passion#so YES im going to see TLM live action in theaters. I. Dont. Care. if people think the movie sucks before they even see it#that shit SHAPED my childhood

Honestly now that I think about my pissy mood and low energy these days likely isn't just because of my job but also because I've been bleeding out non-stop for like... about a week now???
... Okay, that makes it sound way worse then it is- It's not like a scary amount of blood, but I wouldn't be shocked if it factored into why I feel so crabby lately...
I also just find it kinda funny that I've been going into my job the last few days with just this missing chunk of skin that is still bleeding and no one knows but me and my mom lol
#putting this one under the readmore just in case lol- it's nothing serious but it can sound rather alarming#tw pretty intense medical talk in the following tags#long story short I had an allergic reaction to an adhesive they used to patch me up after my surgery#which resulted in some of my skin getting all fucked and horrible looking#the doctor cut off as much of the bad skin as I could stomach him cutting and told me how to take care of the wound#he said it'd bleed for awhile and it has been quite awhile now and I've run out of gauze ._.#I don't really know what normal is suppose to look like for this tbh- it's very red naturally#I try not to mess with it too much since it's really tender
