Unlocking the Hidden Threat: Navigating Hepatitis C and the Power of Direct-Acting Antivirals 2024

Hepatitis C virus, a silent intruder in the body, often goes undetected until it wreaks havoc on the liver. The link between Hepatitis C and liver cancer is well-established, but what if there was a key to preventing this progression? In this article, we explore the underutilization of Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) in Hep C-related liver cancer and why it’s crucial for everyone to be…

Star Thief ✦

After a medical check with Frostbite and a conversation with Clockwork, it turned out that Danny didn't have a protect obsession, and it was more of a ghostly reflex about protecting his haunt from invaders.

The need to protect his home had invaded his mind until it became a priority due to the constant in which the other ghosts kept coming, leaving his space obsession as a secondary priority until the end of the danger.

He only needed one night looking at the sky and getting stellar freckles to realize that he had an obsession with space, the problem? Phantom has become a possessive ghost.

As with his home, he had an irrational fear of the night sky being stolen from him, so he began stealing stars and keeping them with him. This might seem impossible if Danny were a normal person, but he was a half ghost, and a powerful one.

He stole the stars and hid them within his own ectoplasm, turning his appearance into one similar to Nocturn's. Or at least he did until Clockwork scolded him for interfering with his dimension's solar system and forced him to return the stars.

Which he did with great reluctance. But the desire to hoard the stars just for himself did not disappear; Danny looked for an alternative solution to the problem and with the help of the Infinite Map he found "The perfect dimension to steal stars and not have to return them"

However, this did not go unnoticed by the Justice League when an abnormality was detected in all parts of the cosmos, hundreds of stars were disappearing, and fast. They decided to investigate.

On the other hand, Danny was hugging and hoarding stars as he hovered in the new dimension sky. It was perfect! And he wasn't going to return them again.

despite knowing what was going to happen, snotlout's redemption and eventual downfall was so so heartbreaking to me. we spend the past 10 books witnessing how much he's tormented and bullied hiccup that we all feel the same anger and frustration and resentment as fishlegs does in the beginning of 11. i was, maybe, even rooting for something a little bad to happen to him so that he can feel even a fraction of the humiliation that he put hiccup through. but time and time again hiccup, with his inherent goodness and wonderful capacity to always try and see the best in people, reminds us that people need and deserve second chances. even third, fourth and fifth chances. even when hiccup was faced with the certainty that snotlout was set on betraying him from the start.

that's why it was so satisfying to get to the emotional catharsis of the swordfight. snotlout practically begging for hiccup to hate him and hiccup genuinely not having it in him to be able to. and even after that, even after he disarms hiccup and is seconds from killing him - he doesn't. and then hiccup comforts snotlout through it. he tells him words that snotlout didn't know he's been desperate to hear. he tells him he's being too hard on himself. he tells him he's a hero. he opens a door inside snotlout's life for the first time in a long time. despite everything, he offers him another choice to join the dragonmarkers. and snotlout accepts. he bows to hiccup, he calls him king, pledges his sword to his service forever, shakes his hand and chooses to bear the dragonmark.

and it's this moment we finally seeing the seeds of change planted in snotlout sprout - instigated by gobber teaching him a lesson in the amber slavelands and reminding him what the black star represents: pride, honour, bravery. all the times we see snotlout give in to vulnerability and ponder on his choices, he's always holding onto it. which makes it all the more symbolic when he hangs it around hiccup's neck during his last act of valour.

just like how the book tells us that the tides can change so fast, through hiccup, my heart was able to give snotlout another chance too. and it's because of hiccup's belief in snotlout's potential for more that makes you feel so strongly about his death. snotlout's excitement at finally being on hiccup's side, at doing what's right, at having the opportunity to actually be a hero - we can't help but feel that burst of pride, we can't help but root for him. and so we feel the loss, as hiccup did. and it's a point driven home when hiccup ends the epilogue with how he’s carried snotlout and his sacrifice with him all throughout his life. and how time has rubbed away at the black star.

that now the star doesn't look black at all. just gold.

SquidgeWorld refusing to even talk about Palestine and other genocides happening because "this a fandom space" is wild and severely disappointing

[what-plant-metaphor-am-i]

Theory:

Shinsu Jiran has analysed all the characters and has determined that Shirayuki and Tariga are the best ship, don't @ him.

He will send away her other suitors and lock her and Tariga in a room together to 'work' on falling in love. Ok, Obi is allowed to stay, mainly bc he's a cool guy but also bc while he is very unlikely to make a move on Shirayuki he will at the same time trigger a love triangle sitch that gives Tariga a well-needed kick up the backside when it comes to realising his feelings, as Shinsu witnessed that APPALLING display of small-talk between him and Shirayuki when he told Tariga to give her a tour of the place (that was meant to be an opportune moment of alone time and he FLUBBED IT)

End theory.

All the clans are clearly mentally ill, that’s the trade off to being hereditary aristocracy clinging to antiquated power, you get the brain demons. The cursed techniques come with curses. But whereas the Kamo keep their embarrassments locked down tight (curse wombs secured, possessed old patriarchs symbolically folded back into the family tree, illegitimate children assimilated) and the Zen’in have the sort of of simmering rot-in-the-walls, sprawling gothic horror disease that only rears its head once every few generations, I think the Gojo have been having public breakdowns since the Meiji era. It would go a long way to explaining why everyone reacts the way they do to Satoru, and why his family is so invisible in the narrative. Oh, a Gojo having manic episodes, saying unsettling things, making vague grandiose threats, and exhibiting eccentric behavior? A likely thing for him to do.

Headcanon based on something I just drew.

When Apollo is annoyed he rants, when he’s angry he yells, but when he’s truly furious, he’s completely silent.

Many a mortal have died to nothing more than the sound of an arrow being let loose. In his rage, Apollo deemed their lives, and their deaths, unworthy of his voice. No requiem for the wicked.

Normalize actually acknowledging a characters character development even if you don’t like them

Especially when that character is a child

Oh don’t even get me started on that Lego head twat I’ve hated him for years now. What really annoys me is the way it’s sooo obvious that the club waited for all the talk about him to go down, like that twitter user said away fans don’t even boo him no more, and fans feel more comfortable talking about him as if he’s a normal member of the squad, for them to start shoving him down our throats again and act like nothing happened. It’s so so disgusting the way they shoved his case under the carpet and weathered the storm and waited for all the noise to disappear before posting him on socials again. I wanted to link a tweet but I can’t find it but basically it was something about how for as long as he is at the club it’s like a dark sinister cloud is hanging above the club and the clubs gonna keep failing and getting humiliated as karma

im pretty sure I’ve seen the tweet you’re mentioning and it’s so true!! i’ve been done with that dark spirited spaniard for some time now & ik i’ve said it before…it’s actually insane how defensive ppl get whenever anyone points out how gross he is…

& you’re right its such a pathetic way to operate especially when they’re constantly pushing this brand of “unity” and “being one w their community” “the arsenal family” & whatnot…like none of this is applicable when this what we allow at our club?

it’s incredibly damaging that this is how clubs/individuals act during these situations bc they don’t realize how it negatively affects the culture and how the silence/no stance/defending this shit etc makes this such an endless and evil cycle…I’m so tired
