Gantober 2024

So, joining the efforts of @bloobluebloo, I'll be partaking in Gantober!!

What that entails is, I'll be TRYING (emphasis on trying) to post one Ganondorf-related prompt a day. I have two ready, one for yesterday and one for today, but feel free to send me suggestions, either under this post or through asks!

I'm open to any iteration of Ganondorf, or even characters adjacent to him, and the mood can be my usual overdramatic somber edgelord shit or something less intense, and I'll even indulge in spice if that's what you're craving!

thank youuu ;;

I just love those Story of Kunning Palace novel snippets where Jiang Xuening gets to display that ruthless determination isn't something she left in the past life. Nooooo don't plot insurrection with XW noooooo you're too sexyyyyy

//

Xie Wei had already read the secret letter, and asked her calmly, "Tomorrow I will leave for the border, can you go with me?"

Jiang Xuening looked at him. "What are you going to do, sir?"

Xie Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't know what to do, why did you come today?"

Jiang Xuening didn't speak.

Xie Wei said, "The Eldest Princess is not dead. When the war starts next spring, she will become a hostage, which will put the dynasty in a dilemma. The court's money and supplies are just beginning to move, and preparations are still urgent. They will never go to war in advance to save someone. You want to welcome the princess back, or welcome back the princess's coffin, it's all in this thought."

Although it was indeed expected, when Xie Wei said these words, Jiang Xuening still felt her heart tremble, and there was a feeling of being caught in the torrent——

Is there any way to welcome back the princess instead of her coffin?

She was full of emotions, closed her eyes, and clenched her hands tightly.

Xie Wei suddenly laughed. "Scared?"

Jiang Xuening gritted her teeth. "How could that be!"

Xie Wei was the big winner in the end, and now that Yan Lin is full of wings, even if he raises an attack in advance, there may not be no chance of winning! What's more, how could she just watch the princess be given to death?

She promised.

Hold that piece of homeland and welcome her back to the homeland!

Only…

Jiang Xuening slowly opened her eyes. "I promised the princess that I will not miss the appointment. But sir, have you really thought it through?"

Xie Wei's smile faded, he looked back at her, and said slowly, "I will not break my promise."

I don't lose faith in people either.

When Jiang Xuening heard these words, she was a bit dazed, because she didn't know who Xie Wei had made any promises to. Until a picture emerged from the vague memory, together with the voice that was almost forgotten by her in the past, it rang in her ears.

"When will the iron hooves of the Central Plains break through the Yanmen Gate and bring Her Highness back?"

"Soon, soon."

Understanding "The Last Chance Diet" – A Risky Approach to Weight Loss

Exploring the Effectiveness and Risks of The Last Chance Diet “The Last Chance Diet” is an extreme weight loss program from the 1970s that was based on the concept of a protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF). Developed by Dr. Robert Linn, this controversial diet promised rapid weight loss through extreme calorie restriction, primarily using a liquid formula made from animal by-products. While it…

i've been having some thoughts about kyle re: romantic relationships and the fact that i do not think he would pursue something romantic with someone, especially after joining the 141. i think people are fooled by how approachable he is; how quickly he endears himself to people and how easy it is to get along with him. his personality is definitively not the issue, but he isn't just some boy next door. the life he leads is fully committed to his work, work that whisks him away for months at a time and could potentially get him killed at any moment. when he decides to stay with the 141 he goes all in, and no part of his life is unaffected. being involved with him would encompass so much concern and heartache, i do not think he would willingly do that to someone, regardless of how he feels.

God you ever cant remember whether or not you took a medication? On the one hand you don’t wanna flood your system if you DID, but on the other you really don’t wanna fuck around and find out what happens if you didn’t.

do you think part of the reason diluc still struggles with his resentment towards kaeya is because kaeya is more like what crepus wished diluc to be? crepus was so proud of diluc for his accomplishments as a knight and lived his dream through him as well and we know how much crepus' approval meant for diluc, more than any title or doing. i sometimes wonder if diluc feels hurt knowing that kaeya gets to live the equivalent to his past life as a knight as if nothing happened when he had to make sacrifices for his own peace of mind and sense of justice. i wonder if that's what pains him the most, not the fact kaeya ommited the truth about his past for so many years but having felt like he was the only one who cared to do something regarding his father's death and who showed any sense of uprightness when confronted with the knights' request to cover their mistake and negligence. i always think about how diluc might have felt like everything was a lie and his sense of betrayal. but maybe that didn't matter as much as having the support of his brother and someone he could share his pain with would have mattered. maybe the worst thing wasn't what kaeya did but what he didn't do; maybe it was never about his actions but the lack thereof.

What a nice and normal drawing to post after vanishing for 2 and a half months. I'm sure there was no weird and unhinged process for figuring this pose out that entailed inventing organs that all occurred in the space of around 10 hours or anything.

part of my unique problem/trauma coping is that I'm only smoking a puff or two of tobacco at a time. I put it at the beginning and end of my cannabis joints, and I'm mad addicted to this like two puffs of tobacco.

Cannabis is easy to quit and be off it if I need to travel, but my other herbals mood stabilizers like ashwaghanda become more key.

I actually detest smoking more than 2 puffs at a time of tobacco, that's not the way the natives did it and anything beyond 2/3 puffs in a row of tobacco is too much imho...it's just wild as we gain the power to overcome cancer with ease, if I'm already using diet and exercise to mitigate the risks of heart disease, thanks to RSO, why should I be motivated to quit smoking?

cancer is a preventable disease, but clearly smoking raises my risk of stroke which I have no way of countering. If I want my brain's blood vessels to not explode randomly in 15 years I really should quit smoking...

I bet I'm the only smoker in the world with this problem haha

This is what happens when a smoker quits. Pass it on.

Thyroid Awareness Month: Understanding Symptoms and the Need for Treatment

January is observed globally as Thyroid Awareness Month. The thyroid gland is a vital organ in the body that secretes various hormones. These hormones regulate metabolism, energy production, and other essential bodily processes. If left untreated, thyroid-related issues can lead to severe complications.

Common Symptoms of Thyroid Problems

Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism: Excessive sweating Unexplained weight loss Irregular heartbeat Anxiety and sleep disturbances Trembling hands

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Weight gain Dry skin Hair loss Persistent fatigue Intolerance to cold Causes of Thyroid Disorders Autoimmune diseases like Graves' Disease or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Iodine deficiency Genetic factors Stress and mental pressure Side effects of certain medications Potential Complications of Untreated Thyroid Issues Increased Risk of Heart Disease:

Hyperthyroidism accelerates heart rate, putting extra strain on the heart. Hypothyroidism can raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Infertility and Pregnancy-Related Issues:

Thyroid hormone imbalances can impair reproductive health and lead to pregnancy complications. Decline in Mental Health:

Anxiety, depression, and reduced cognitive function are common outcomes. Myxedema:

A severe and life-threatening condition caused by extreme hypothyroidism. Preventing Thyroid Problems and Raising Awareness Maintain a healthy diet (include iodine-rich foods). Get regular health check-ups. Manage stress effectively. Ensure adequate sleep. Consult a doctor promptly if you notice thyroid-related symptoms.

When I was in vet school I went to this one lecture that I will never forget. Various clubs would have different guest lecturers come in to talk about relevant topics and since I was in the Wildlife Disease Association club I naturally attended all the wildlife and conservation discussions. Well on this particular occasion, the speakers started off telling us they had been working on a project involving the conservation of lemurs in Madagascar. Lemurs exist only in Madagascar, and they are in real trouble; they’re considered the most endangered group of mammals on Earth. This team of veterinarians was initially assembled to address threats to lemur health and work on conservation solutions to try and save as many lemur species from extinction as possible. As they explored the most present dangers to lemurs they found that although habitat loss was the primary problem for these vulnerable animals, predation by humans was a significant cause of losses as well. The vets realized it was crucial for the hunting of lemurs by native people to stop, but of course this is not so simple a problem.

The local Malagasy people are dealing with extreme poverty and food insecurity, with nearly half of children under five years old suffering from chronic malnutrition. The local people have always subsisted on hunting wildlife for food, and as Madagascar’s wildlife population declines, the people who rely on so-called bushmeat to survive are struggling more and more. People are literally starving.

Our conservation team thought about this a lot. They had initially intended to focus efforts on education but came to understand that this is not an issue arising from a lack of knowledge. For these people it is a question of survival. It doesn’t matter how many times a foreigner tells you not to eat an animal you’ve hunted your entire life, if your child is starving you are going to do everything in your power to keep your family alive.

So the vets changed course. Rather than focus efforts on simply teaching people about lemurs, they decided to try and use veterinary medicine to reduce the underlying issue of food insecurity. They supposed that if a reliable protein source could be introduced for the people who needed it, the dependence on meat from wildlife would greatly decrease. So they got to work establishing new flocks of chickens in the most at-risk communities, and also initiated an aggressive vaccination program for Newcastle disease (an infectious illness of poultry that is of particular concern in this area). They worked with over 600 households to ensure appropriate husbandry and vaccination for every flock, and soon found these communities were being transformed by the introduction of a steady protein source. Families with a healthy flock of chickens were far less likely to hunt wild animals like lemurs, and fewer kids went hungry. Thats what we call a win-win situation.

This chicken vaccine program became just one small part of an amazing conservation outreach initiative in Madagascar that puts local people at the center of everything they do. Helping these vulnerable communities of people helps similarly vulnerable wildlife, always. If we go into a country guns-blazing with that fire for conservation in our hearts and a plan to save native animals, we simply cannot ignore the humans who live around them. Doing so is counterintuitive to creating an effective plan because whether we recognize it or not, humans and animals are inextricably linked in many ways. A true conservation success story is one that doesn’t leave needy humans in its wake, and that is why I think this particular story has stuck with me for so long.
