I was dead. My right leg was blown off, and the snow was red from all the blood. I went from burning hot to freezing. Me and Joe lay there freezing in the snow, shivering, bleeding, both of us were full of shrapnel. He said, "Jesus Christ, what the hell do I have to do to die?!" It was Joe's fifth time hit. Lipton, Malarkey, and Babe came running over to help, I was half out of it. Doc Roe was right there, trying to patch us up. Without him, we wouldn't be alive. Roe was the best medic we ever had. He was born to be a medic. You could always depend on him. You hollered, "Medic!" he was right there come hell or high water, he knew what he was doing. He was compassionate, took care of you mentally, physically, every way.

Listennn, I don't care what anyone says, medic characters in media are the fucking best. The battle between managing their emotions and distancing themselves a healthy degree from loss but also their love and devotion driving them to push through and try and do their best to save others, only to be destroyed when they cannot. How they try and cope with the situation they're put in - some by remaining quiet and distant, others trying to use jokes and levity to mask the pain. But GOD I love when a character who heals and saves others eventually comes to bend and breaks under the enormous pressure they're under and now other's have to find a way to save them. The people they've dedicated their lives to now trying desperately to hold tight and sooth the one who soothes them, to keep them whole and together not only due to that person being invaluable for what they do but also because everyone's come to love them for who they are as well.

So my hiking route today took me through a deer park with, I kid you not, a 50+ herd of albino/leucistic fallow and (not very) red deer… what are the changes lol

Now I’m imagining poor Vasco in this Where’s Waldo situation, once he gets a grip on himself and goes back to find Machete.

(The expressions in Hound Mode btw were delightful!)

Ah, that must've been quite a sight! It's always such a staggering feeling coming across a big herd of any large animals, at least if you ask me. The fact they were all white just adds to the effect.

I hope Vasco would've fetched Machete and showed him the deer as well. I don't think he's encountered many other albinistic animals, at least in canon. He might've been impressed.

I'd served thirty days of combat in Normandy, seventy-eight in Holland, thirty-nine in Bastogne, and thirty in Haguenau. And I wonder if, with war becoming such a part of you, you become like the Toyes and Guarneres of the world, people who lose a limb and yet have that phantom sensation that it's still there.

Sometimes, I couldn't get back to sleep. Or I'd just read or try studying at a desk, not that I was very good at that. I couldn't concentrate like before the war. I'd be reading some book and suddenly realize Roe was sitting beside me. Malark, I'm sorry, but it's Skip . . . I feared my grades were slipping badly.

A Brief Update

Earlier today I wrote about Kate Cox and her struggle to obtain an abortion despite the fact that the fetus she carries is not viable and her very life is in danger.  I wrote that late last night, and when I woke this morning, it was to this headline in the New York Times … Texas Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Court-Approved Abortion   The court, responding to an appeal from Attorney General Ken…

Can I just say that I love the way the music indicated it was time for Helen to stop?

There's so many markers here that she's basically won. She got the Disruptors to turn on Miles (partially, at least). She's completely trashed his showroom, almost all of the glass displays shattered on the floor. Miles is too busy looking unimpressed to try to stop her.

The Disruptors themselves have slowed down their destruction, turning to congratulate each other.

And my favorite? The music hits its crescendo and ends on a triumphant note.

The language of the score itself is telling us we're done.

But Helen isn't done. Helen isn't satisfied with this little victory. Helen is willing to "break the thing that nobody wants her to break."

“Dana Roe,” 41 (USA 2017)

“Dana�� underwent a chemical abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol. A healthcare professional submitted a FAERS report documenting what happened to her.

Dana suffered side effects from the abortion drugs. She experienced sexual dysfunction and serious hemorrhage. A hospital attempted to save her, but she died on September 5, 2017. Although Dana had also been medicated with Venlafaxine, Xanax, Azithromycin, Alprazolam, Lisinopril and Levothyroxine, the healthcare professional who reported her death pinpointed mifepristone and misoprostol as the suspect active ingredients in causing the hemorrhage. This is consistent with known side effects of both drugs.

The mifepristone Adverse Events Summary sheet published the next year included the case of an American woman who bled to death after a chemical abortion, but not enough information is included to confirm if this is the same woman from FAERS Case ID 14022656.

That cast picture with Renée and doc's actors I reblogged earlier makes me wish I could write my modern AU series faster tbh ;_;

I mean, I'll be honest: I don't think they'll be a huge part of it, but there's at least one scene I have in mind of Web and Renée* teaching Babe how to walk in high heels after he starts doing drag and yes I CAN write things out of order but the issue is that I don't have the time/energy to write at all ;_;

*ETA: Alternatively, since in this series Renée is a trans woman, it might just be Web sharing the tips he learned pre-transition with both Babe and Renée m, we'll see
