Okay, in my Star's Rebirth AU, Kenjaku is technically still alive, but Yuji keeps their brain in a jar (just like the Death Paintings) and for whatever reason, the thought that popped in my head is Yuji telling Shoko about it but it goes like this.
Yuji: I have my mom's brain.
Shoko: What?
Yuji: Kenjaku. Have their brain. *shows a jar he's keep said brain in*
Shoko: ... can I ask why?
Yuji: They kept my brothers in jars, right? As long as they have no body, they can't do anything.
Shoko: Okay. I see your point. Where are you keeping that thing?
Yuji: In my chambers. (Note: just read the AU)
Shoko: Ah. Anyways, why are you telling me this?
Yuji: Wanna study it?
Shoko: ...
Yuji: ...
Shoko: You are a weird kid, but you speak my language.
I can see Yuji slowly getting into that area of science, more so because... well, for one... someone had to be like Kenjaku (they would be proud... probably)!
And two, I think that Yuji is "dumb" (by what he believes) because he doesn't learn due to the people who teaches him and how he is being taught. Think about how quickly he learns to use cursed energy. It's a hands on experience for him and the methods use do hold his attention (example, the movie watching and that stuck with him).
Shoko, I think she could hold Yuji's attention because she comes off as someone who uses visuals to teach. I mean, someone had to teach Yuji RCT and honestly? I say it's Shoko.
I think of how Satoru tried to teach Yuji how to use cursed energy the first time. Satoru just went straight into saying "This is cursed energy, this is a cursed technique". And Yuji didn't get it until he used the example of electricity, creating that visual.
It reminds me of how Shoko tried to teach Satoru and Suguru the opposite way about RCT. Moving her hands and making sound effects to recreate a visual for them to understand how RCT works.

it is genuinely crazy how little doctors tell u abt procedures before they do them, it should be explained wtf something is before they do it like ask if the patient actually knows what x procedure entails and what it will be like before subjecting them to it

the liver thing isn't like a disease or a disorder or anything it's just genetic variance and can go either way. it's that guy who needs 2 paracetamol instead of 1, or that absolute bastard who only has to take half a pill
it becomes a Fucking Annoyance when you're far enough away from the bell curve that shit just doesn't work, or doesn't work enough to warrant taking. it is extra a Fucking Annoyance because you will go your whole life wondering why things simply don't affect you whilst doctors repeatedly either accuse you of lying because they don't know it can be a thing, or go through drug after drug after drug all metabolised the same way and which naturally don't work before giving up.
the fact it's considerably more common in people with chronic pain conditions (for reasons), and people with chronic pain being labelled drug seekers, are probably related.
the fact that ultra-rapid metabolisation on typically the most annoying pathway is most common in people from the middle east and... i think north africa? but very rare in white people (without chronic pain) is also for sure something ain't it (actually it's way more common in painless white people to go the other way and need less drugs. 7-10%. if you were wondering. you weren't)

also i found this in my drafts lol
tw gore, emergency noncon surgery? suggestive?? i dont even know what to tag this clearly i was in a mood
"Fuck, fuck, fuck–" Whumper grabbed the scalpel without much hesitation, grabbing onto Whumpee and steadying them as they made a deep incision. They didn't have the time to relish the moans of pain Whumpee let out as they shoved their hand inside, forcing their ribs apart and closing their fingers around their faintly beating heart.
Oh.
They swallowed, trying not to think about what they were actually doing. How much damage they could cause with their hand inside Whumpee's chest, how they could just rip their heart out, how easily they could kill them with a single motion. They tried not to focus on sensation of the soft, wet muscle against their palm. They just had to pump. They had to keep the stupid thing alive.
But it was impossible to ignore the rush of adrenaline they got from staring into Whumpee's glassy eyes while they were doing it, so close, so intimate, so utterly raw. They knew they would never forget this moment, whatever the outcome might be. And they didn't think they wanted to.

Dear pasta
Do you have any wood carving tips for beginners?
I bought a bunch of wood and a couple of knives and idk what to do
BOY DO I. And I'm in a good spot for it because I have FOUR carvings of the same design in various stages of completion to assist.
I'm going to also put this behind a cut so that anyone who's like br br pasta it's just wood wood is boring NO IT'S NOT IT'S AMAZING isn't forced scroll by. Although I'm keeping the first tip in the open because IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
TIPS FROM SIX YEARS OF CARVING/INJURIES/VISITS WITH MY CARVING TEACHER.
First, get yourself a pair of no cut gloves if you haven't already. I use these! They're cheap and they WILL save you a trip to the ER. Take it from someone who carved without them once and slipped with their knife and basically cut themselves down to the bone in their hand. 7 stitches and one bitchin scar later, I now never carve without gloves.
OK. So when starting, you're going to have your wood in of three forms: a blank (a small block of wood), a cut out (a blank that's been cut by a bandsaw into a basic shape), or a rough out (a cutout that's had most excess cut away and just needs details and final shaping). I don't know obviously which you have, but a LOT of people starting out aren't aware that when you're learning you can often purchase cutouts that make things easier (Hummul for example has a lot!). You can still carve from a blank, though! It'll just take a bit longer. Here's a picture with the 3 stages of my sea serpent design, and the first sea serpent I ever made that I carved from a blank, so you can see what I meam (coils are different on 3 just cause I felt like it, so ignore that).
Tumblr media
When starting, try to stick to more simple designs so you don't get overwhelmed. Think smaller, basic shapes, usually made of something like basswood which is a nice soft wood (easy to cut). My teacher for example starts everyone on basswood rubber ducky shapes! So there's no complex details, and more abstract shapes. These are three of the carvings I made that first week of my class as an example (the little face is called a wood spirit and you can find a lot of guides for them on youtube, they're very popular!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is a basic process here that we can see with the sea serpents again! Step 1 you trace your design. Step 2, you're removing the large or small chunks of excess (this is where some use a bandsaw if accessible). Step 3 is rounding and shaping. And step 4 is adding details and finishing. If you're not sure about shapes, consider using some basic outlines from online! I've even used toys to give me a basic shape!
Tumblr media
GRAINS: when you first begin to cut, you're going to want to cut with the grain as much as possible. Wood carves far more easily when your knife moves with the grain than against it. There will be points where you have no choice (this is why basswood is a popular wood for beginners and experts alike - little grain, very soft), but try as best you can to go with it. You'll feel it when you cut with it - it'll be a lot easier, but depending on the wood, you can also see it! The bottom wood has an easy to see grain, the top one a bit harder (also note the difference between the band saw lines - perfectly straight and up and down - and the actual grain - left to right, more wavy, nature hates straight lines), and the middle you'll have to look closely to see. If you've got pretty natural grains, most carvers stain or seal them without paint. Basswood's got borderline no visible grain so is almost always painted (see duck above). You'll likely develop a preference as time goes on, too!
If you're carving from a straight up wood blank, try to make your design fit the shape as closely as possible. This will minimize the amount of excess wood you have to cut off! Especially since your first step is removing what doesn't belong before you start curving and rounding (there's also pencil marks on the top, so I know what I'm carving on all sides).
Tumblr media
SHARPEN SHARPEN SHARPEN. If you've got a good knife, it likely came pre sharpened, which is great and can serve you for quite a while, especially if you're cutting softer woods! But you're also going to need to sharpen your knife regularly - I'm working on a very hard walnut dolphin atm and I'm sharpening every 20 minutes or so cause it wears the blade down. To sharpen, you use a strop. There are additional guides for that and places to buy one, but if you're handy you can make one. My teacher's (and mine) is literally strips of cork board covered in compound, and glued to two sides of a wood paddle. Very cheap. 😂 If you need tips on sharpening, let me know!
If you're going to use a natural finish on your wood (i.e. anything but basswood), you'll want to sand after carving and before sealing! Start with 80 grit, then move to 120 grit, and finish with 240. Note: as you start to sand, you'll see lots of little spots appear! You want to sand those away!
MOST SEALANTS ARE TOXIC TO BREATHE, DO IT OUTSIDE OR WEAR A MASK! If you want to avoid that, seal with something like Tried and True Original Finish or try carving wood you paint instead, since you basically carve, skip sanding, and paint with watered down acrylics!
Lastly, the way I hold my knife when carving: I use my thumb against the non-cutting edge to 'push' the knife in a hingeing motion (I'll see if I can make a gif for it at some point). It takes some strain off your hands and lends more strength to the knife for harder or quick cuts. You can also cut VERY fast once you get this down, and my teacher's approved it as a valid technique.
Tumblr media
I hope these help! I love love LOVE carving and wish there were more classes around for people to take! Fortunately there are a lot of youtube vids and guides but SO much of it is really just practice. It's also an incredibly soothing hobby. I love sitting in front of a movie or series or listening to a podcast/audio book while I just sit and cut away. And remember, if you have a blank and get into it and start to feel overwhelmed, there are plenty of cutouts and roughouts you can try instead that mean all you need to work on is shaping and detailing! Let me know if you have any other questions!

oops, all medfet?
oops all medfet is fun because it's not even a very descriptive title but the general idea is "sussurro gets invited by kal'tsit to observe/assist with her patented vaginoplasty procedure, proceeds to discover that 1) it's myrrhs surgery 2) she might have?? a crush?? on myrrh?? and 3) she has a rampant surgery/medical fetish"
chapter two she gets assigned to myrrh for followups and to show her how to dilate and she's freaking out bc she hasn't had a crush on anyone since like middle school and to make things worse during the dilation myrrh moans (bc she's had a crush on sussurro for ages but hasn't actually said anything) and they both go very very red and I haven't figured out where the fic goes from there

Dick Grayson is a scalpel. He's tempered steel, methodical and precise. And he can hone in on the parts of you that hurt the most and the cuts he makes are never kind. When they're deep, they almost never heal, and when they're shallow, they just keep bleeding through every bandage anyways.
Dick Grayson is a scalpel. There are no hooks to him, on a lineup he doesn't look terrifying. But he has the sharpest point and he's only ever used by the steadiest hands and that's when you realise that the damage he creates never gets undone.
