giving characters top surgery scars is great but we gotta start expanding this mentality into just random medical procedures. you’re telling me this protagonist made it through their whole life without needing some type of surgery??

Last politics thing for the day, I'm writing smut tonight.

There are many issues on which I am totally inflexible. The one which defines me most as a person is immigration.

I married a DREAMer. She survived four years of Trump. She lived in total fear that at any moment she could be deported to a country which she hasn't lived in since she was three years old. The tricky situation for DACA recipients is that it requires trust in the federal government not to fucking deport you when you register, but it also means that the government has a list of undocumented immigrants and where to find them. It's an incredible risk to take just for an opportunity to feel some peace of mind in a place where people are constantly reminding you that this isn't your home.

The horror for millions of people living in America is that they have absolutely no say in how the country is run. The disenfranchised don't just include undocumented immigrants, but children and in many states felons too. These are also some of the people who are most impacted by the policies of the federal government.

The truth is that I am a straight guy, half-Jewish, raised in a deeply Pentecostal family. I'm over the eligibility age for the draft and I have great health care through my job. Outside of paying $45 for a sandwich on Door Dash I will likely never feel the impact of a policy in the United States.

It's a privilege not to care. You don't just vote for yourself, but you vote for the people who can't.

Adding up to that Severus has a not-so-secret daughter au! Some good nasty drama

Since the lycanthropy is based on the AIDs and they can be passed down to offspring, let me introduce you to:

After the Prank, Severus did get infected but never went through the actual transformation, so he just carries it in his blood with some side effects (maybe he eats raw meat now and has sharper senses, who knows). But even if he's not a werewolf as such, he still has the infection in him...and his daughter is born with it, turning into a full werewolf each moon and overall suffering all the regular effects of the curse.

Just one more reason for them to dislike lupin (and the marauders in general)

I REALLY hate Lycanthropy being tied to HIV/AIDs. I know the author said so, but she says alot of things that suck, and that's one of them. It's a real stinker.

In any case, Lycanthropy isn't actually passed down from parent to child - that's a myth, perpetuated by the fact so few Werewolves ever have children. Remus was worried - but its just another point on his list of "things he is anxious about that aren't real/don't matter as much as he thinks they do" He has nothing to fear about sex. He would have more to fear about kissing - but even then, that isn't how Lycanthropy works.

It doesn't change your genes. Its a magical disease - you don't become a non-human, your DNA isn't changed. You're only contagious at the Full Moon, about 12 hours a month and ONLY via saliva, not blood or sexual fluids. Even if Severus was partially infected with cursed wounds, like Bill Weasley - as he doesn't transform he cannot pass it on.

Same with HIV/AIDs. A father doesn't pass it to their child. The DNA/RNA in his sperm does not have HIV - just the fluids it is carried in. A mother can pass it down through the pregnancy, childbirth fluids or breastfeeding - but not necessarily.

In order to have a child infected with Lycanthropy Severus would need to be fully bitten by Remus and then also bite his own child - or pick up a child from somewhere that has already been bitten.

And that's cute. Why is Severus so good at brewing Wolfsbane...? He's been doing it for his daughter for years already. But I don't really see how, even if you HC that Lycanthropy can be passed down to children via the fathers DNA, that it is something to 'dislike Remus' about...? Remus wasn't a part of that prank. He was a sick boy who did everything right. He wasn't wandering around, he wasn't being reckless - he was hiding in the shack. He was as much a victim of the prank as much as Severus was.

The Ministry has shifted whether they consider Werewolves as 'Beings' or 'Creatures' for years - and in either case, whether they are considered 'people' or 'animals' - they don't have human rights. Just being found out is a danger to Remus' life.

Remus would be mortified to know he had even partially infected Severus... even more so that his Lycanthropy had been fully passed onto a child. He would be DEVASTATED. He would be torn between feeling some responsibility over the child, to teach them how to manage their condition... and wanting to run as far away as possible, hide in a hole - and die from shame.

i had to disclose my medical information every semester to every instructor because i had instructors who wouldn't give me accommodations unless they judged for themselves whether i deserved them and student disability services would not advocate for me, so with that in mind i think it's a terrible shame when institutions can't be trusted to collect private medical information and make fair and responsible decisions, resulting in the public demanding that information for themselves

kevin has chronic fatigue

my friend roisin animediac jaywalkers has once made a list of all of the physical consequences of the nest on kevin and it was so so so so fucked... it's crazy to think kevin will spend his whole trying to outrun that damage and it will not be enough....... i always think of him when i listen to the body terror song by ajj

eyes and hands passing through you uninvited &__& so much of kevin's trauma is shaped by his body being handled like an object it's really no surprise at all that he'll spend his entire life trying to wrangle it into an unachievable idea of perfection. lets listen to liquid smooth by mitski together

LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS

[bitchapalooza]

Grusha with a knee brace and a cane when needed because disability representation is important to me and many others and it would have kicked ass to see a cool(pun intended) ass character with a mobile aid and it not being a big deal, its just there for us to see and feel seen.

So you know those people who make sad and/or snarky comments about their exes? Like "I don't need them, I'm so much happier now anyway" and "I miss them so much they meant so much to me" type of things

I have to focus so hsrd to not say stuff like that about Sherlock & Co. sometimes 😭😭😭

[altschmerzes]

every day i am reminded of the number of times a couple years ago people would REPEATEDLY recommend Homophobia And Racism (And A Lot Of Other Gross And Bad Things!): The Book Series (That Liked To Think It Was Sports Fiction, Sort Of) to me and compared my sports fiction novel to it like. i am so glad i don’t remember who those people were specifically bc if any of them were people whose opinions i still value i’d have to quit writing immediately and forever.

at wheelchair rugby this week we had an able-bodied woman come and try out a session with us because she's doing a challenge to try 40 different sports this year and it was really cool feeling like this isn't just a sport you do because you're locked out of others, this is something fun and cool people want to get into?

At the moment I feel there's a sort of difficulty with wheelchair sports where a lot of the time able-bodied people can't really join in because there's just not enough equiptment (and money really) to allow that and of course you need to prioritise the people who it's mainly for. But I'd love to be able to bring my non-disabled friends to 5s rugby with me the same as when I was abled I'd bring them to martial arts or badminton or whatever. Dreaming of a beautiful world where there is enough funding and wheelchairs for 5s rugby to be treated not just as a disability sport but a sport for everyone.
