Catherine's Good News 🎗

Curable Cancer 🎗

no metastasis 🎗

lymph nodes = cancer free!!! 🎗

margins = cancer free!!! (margins of removed malignant tissue are cancer free) 🎗

malignancy was isolated to 1 area & surgically removed 🎗

adjuvant treatment offered as an option in lower doses of systemic poison to prevent recurrence 🎗

Catherine will overcome this malignancy 🎗

Catherine's bad news 🎗

cancer is out however pathology revealed cancer cells had "access" to her lymphatic channels 🙏

preventative chemotherapy is still poison🙏

Adjuvant Treatment will guarantee zero recurrence

Recently been filling time by trying to think what the best possible course of action would be to prevent Kaito and Kokichi's deaths if I was plopped into v3 right at the beginning of chapter 5

slime, mariana, codeflippa, juanaflippa, and tilin all made it off the island together and are now causing mayhem in the world at large as a family. roier and cellbit and jaiden and bobby and richas are there also. and they’re all happy and healthy and smiling. this is real trust me 👍

Estrogen could've saved her

Two things that are simultaneously true:

1. Gender and sexuality are complex and can be fluid. An identity isn't always fixed and can change with time for many reasons

2. It is not acceptable to force others to change their gender or sexuality and the mantra that they (queer people) can change if they only "try hard" is both cruel and homophobia and/or transphobia

is it normal for cattle to get lung abscesses

But yes. It’s normal for an animal to develop if they were aspirated during their infantile stage, such as is true for calves when they contract pneumonia. It’s a condition you will literally never know about until a cow dies suddenly. It cannot be predicted or prevented beyond shrugging and hoping an animal you buy has never had pneumonia.

How about you stop trying to capitalize on a tragedy to push your agenda, you miserable demon.

anon, your enthusiasm means so much to me. in three parts:

one: "percival/kevin had what hirarchie wanted" agree and disagree. obviously in the metatext percevin (sorry) IS a comment on the villain/henchman authority/grooming/abuse dynamics of the earlier seasons. it does enrich the hirarchie narrative by pulling back the veil on the exploitation inherent in hiram's hench relationships. it does. hirarchie makeout subtext becomes percevin makeout text.

but i'm also going to say that i don't think hiram would be satisfied mind-controlling archie. one of the things that makes archie unendingly interesting is that he gives hiram an outlet for the punishing, dominating, masculinity-affirming violence that he doesn't have in his conflicts with the women of his family. and if archie is unable to act out and challenge him, archie loses his luster.

two: "percival reminds archie of hiram" i mean. yeah absolutely that's like his whole deal, testing archie's ability to cope with another hiram type of guy activating all of his trauma responses. they even box. they even box. can we talk about how they even box, they do-over the 3x21 boxing plot????

and. you can't tell me archie offering percival "do whatever you want to me. starve me. chain me up" as punishment/collateral isn't coming out of his hiram-attuned instincts. you just can't. sorry.

three: "percival should have been hiram" yeah and no imo - mark consuelos would have served as hiram in this story position. but i do think it's impactful to the riverdale #cycles and #trauma narratives to show the riveradults encountering their childhood abuse&exploitation tools being used by a different guy. "are they still as vulnerable to these tactics and dynamics as they were in their teen years, or have they healed and grown enough to find a different way through it" is a question i liked seeing an answer to. i loved superhero-teamup-as-metaphor-for-peer-support-and-community-solidarity in contrast to the way they all got alienated from each other due to trauma in their teen years.

and i loved the various reflections on white supremacy in usamerican media that having a white villain like percival unlocked - mark consuelos as hiram in the percival position wouldn't have done that for us for obvious reasons.

thinking about the adam's red sclera you were talking about. if his aura is constantly trying to prevent it from getting worse, would someone with aura amp semblance like jaune be able to cure it? it wouldn't give him back his vision, but stop the chronic pain maybe?

it also gets me thinking about the fact that blake has chronic pain on her scar where he stabbed her (i cant recall where the chronic pain fact was mentioned nor implied, so i cant really tell if it's canon or fanon), which got talked about a lot back when the volume was out

In theory, I don't see why an Aura boost couldn't help cure an infection. It completely closed Weiss's injury and that was complete impalement open to the air! A true feast for bacteria. I imagine even modern doctors would struggle with a wound like that

Once again, though, we bump against the reality that a) Adam shouldn't have this infection after literal years. (6 years minimum if my math from the comics is right.) It should've either been healed or taken out to prevent more damage, and b) Auras aren't consistent throughout RWBY because the writers care more about Events than Story. In some cases, Aura will stand up to incredible amounts of force and others be shattered in a single hit, even with the same character! (Ex. Ghira in the v5 fight vs the ambush in the Adam short/Yang in pretty much any fight yet going down in a single hit from Neo in v8.) Scars are just another Event for the writers, story and logic be damned. (Seriously, how the fuck did Cinder lose both her arm and eye? I don't think the writers know. Or care.)

As for Blake's wound, that is 110% fanon. I have no idea how a stab just above the hip would lead to chronic pain. Perhaps in flashbacks or nightmares she would relive the pain, but unless there were complications with the healing (considering she was leaping on rooftops shortly after, this is not the case), that should be the only pain she gets. I can only hope someone made an ignorant mistake rather than deliberately foisting more suffering onto Blake just so Adam would look worse

(11.28.23)

Living in a dying body,

Stranded on a dying world,

What shall the dying do?

Grind our bleach-white coral bones,

Drown in rising water, our limbs too weak to tread?

How about this instead?

On New Year's Eve, my father, a doctor of the weather said: 

"I believe in the resilience of our atmosphere."

And thus began my year,

With a body set for ambush storms, and unprepared to take my cover,

Hopeful, kicking at the knees that wouldn't last the summer.

But if Dad can see the damning data and give us yet our chance, 

Then I will face the fates that are written in my scans,

Feed the sturgeon lunch at the museum,

Bend slowly to the waterline and whisper this to them:

"I believe in our resilience, too."

rosakae date where Rosaria ruthlessly executes the group of treasure hoarders and scammers that kept Kaeya busy and away. There'd be blood in her face, hands, and feet and all he could do was wipe it off her. Handing her a spare dagger for variety with her initial engraved on it. In his official report, he'd mark them as internal conflict and submit the reports to Jean. Lately, the acting grandmaster seems to notice the frequent appearance of dark lip stain on his cheek before submitting it.

Pre-Episode 4 Theory

Post Episode 4 Theory

I knew I was right to be skeptical about Uzi going full Murder Drone! But wow—there is a lot too unpack with what this one introduced.

|><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><|

First off, what’s wrong with Uzi’s classmates? Why were they so afraid of her when Doll was going all prom murder? The first time I slightly get cause they were surprised by her speaking a bit suddenly. But the second time? They all saw Uzi exit the tree lining before she spoke!

Unless it’s right in front of them—they barely react/register tragedy, going as far as to play it off as a joke. I thought Lizzy was a singular case due to being best friends with Doll. She at least seemed far more nonchalant about killing off her classmates. And she isn’t even AS infected!

The promo showed who was going to be killed.

Once again, I’m reminded these are robots trying to mimic human society. Their emotional intelligence is pretty poor overall considering they barely react to deaths afterward. Following mob/herd mentality, no continuous sense of self-preservation, and having very loose morals.

The fact they found more comfort in known murderers is concerning. Makes me wonder how their parent's generation even survived.

(Also, it was Nori’s idea to create the doors and not Khan's? “Build doors against the coming sky demons!–The singularity awakens...”)

—

Two; How in the world can Uzi’s AbsoluteSolver create organic matter?! I was under the strong impression that it used nanites to affect general things. Yet this is on a completely another level.

Something which her mother seemed to be aware of. Uzi made f*cking bat-like wings and a mouthed tail out of nothing. People appear to be debating whether she was fully herself or AS crazy during that scene in the ep comments. It. It could either way to be honest. We see her puke up (streaming) oil from Daren and look at her oil-covered hand in horror. Her eyes/visor flickering between a Murder Drone X to high temperature warning to AS symbol in one eye.

And yet she goes into murder mode pretty quickly. Laughing eerily similar to V from Ep 1.

She tricked V by begging to speak to N, then during the falling talk was clearly in full control of herself. I hate the Absolute Solver program.

—

Sidenote, We see how V has indeed been hiding things. “New body, same horrors, huh, Cyn?” Who from a very brief flashback from N is the fourth yellow-eyed drone Tessa restored. We kinda knew about her from the beginning since we see “Absolute Solver attempt block by Administrator CYN.” post-reboot slap. She had the AS symbol plus the large distended mouth in the flashback. She—she had a human arm in her mouth showing it off to N (I think.)

How she maintains an Administrator position in the JCJenson corporation—shown to hate rogue/free-thinking AIs—I’ll never know...

Another, or the same arm, was shown in a chandelier a few seconds after. The flashback ends with what I believe to be a black hole in the sky. Or maybe a blotted out sun?

Red eyes were visible when N fries that monitor touching the buttons. Except for them being rounder than a drone’s so we can rule out Doll.

—

Thirdly. There was more to Nori than we could imagine given the little bug recognizing 02.

Register Torture Chamber complaint??? Either Nori used torture chambers(!) on other drones or was subjected to one. She seemed to have a descent into madness after the core explosion. If the box of “Family Memories before Nori went Kooky & Insane” was any indication. I did miss that when I first watched the episode...

Nori didn’t just see the three Murder Drones, she saw countless descended from the sky that the doors were her idea in the first place. There are so many questions we can ask about this: Did Nori and Yeva know about the Zombie Drone thing? Did they not use their abilities in public to avoid turning as Uzi does? Will Doll eventually turn—or is it only older AS “02”? How often did Worker Drones turn into Zombie Drones back on Earth that there needed to be a training tape about them? I really hate AS.

—

4th—AbsoluteSolver does indeed cause the same overheating issues in Murder Drones. It feels nice to get a confirmation for this since we could only speculate. Uzi burns in sunlight now. She can regenerate like a Disassembly Drone too. All while still having wings, a stinger/mouthed tail, and the AbsoluteSolver abilities. The purple protagonist has the programming to become a far deadlier AS/Murder Drone hybrid.

Took down V like it was barely anything. Where did her new wings and tail even go when N caught her? Do they fold into her body like the Murder Drone's own ones do?? Her tail??? I thought J’s AS heart-thing was fleshy cause it used human ribcage remnants. Clearly, we know otherwise that it becomes an extension of advanced AbsoluteSolvee users... What did Cyn/Tessa/JCJenson create? (nightmare fuel)

—

Lastly, character growth! Uzi showed her softer side and insecurities in this episode. N appears to be losing his doormat qualities defending himself. V’s still mean—but worried mean~ She is looking out for N, and very afraid for them.

Glitch and the crew really stepped up their animation ability in this episode. Characters are far more fluid. We see their expressions range, the episode was less joking to bring home how serious Cabin Fever was. At least more so compared to the other three episodes—nice.

I will never understand why, during both the first and second wizarding war, nobody thought to just… use mandrakes. Their screams can at the weakest cause you to pass out and at worst kill you, right? One group is a genocidal cult of fantasy-racist lunatics and the other is trying to not be mass-murdered for either the crime of disagreeing with genocide or the crime of being born. Did neither of them consider just all using a deafening charm or wearing magically enhanced earplugs to a big battle like the battle of Hogwarts and all have shrunk pots with mandrakes in their pockets, then once both sides are there unshrinking them and pulling them out of the pots? Why did nobody think of this?
