As much as I love the entire tragedy of Zephyrus causing Hyacinthus' death I find it funnier when he dies cuz of Apollo's shitty frisbee throwing skills

youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

Hi!! Do you have any thoughts/ideas surrounding a survival situation with two characters where one is injured and the other is sick? I’m interested in what you might come up with if you’re willing!

HELLO DEAR ANON I CAN SCARCE BELIEVE IT. One of my favorite tropes?? In my ask box out of nowhere?????

Survival situations are always my favorite, ESPECIALLY when multiple characters are whumped. The more precarious the environment, the better, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Is it a long hike back to civilization for aid?

Is it trapped in a cabin while a storm blows over?

Is it a desperate carraige ride through the wastelands, hoping the driver doesn't recognize their faces?

Train rides, back of a semi-truck, stowed away on a ship, lots of funky vehicle options to consider too

Then there's my other favorite aspect to the no-teammate-unharmed approach: alternating caretakers.

Where one is unconscious and the other is just aware enough to drag them both into a cave for shelter

One is too feverish to stand so the other rips stitches gathering food

One pushes past fatigue to stitch up the other's wounds

A character with a bad illness + a character with a bad wound suddenly presenting the same sickening fever, both hiding it from the other because of the dangers it presents

Field medicine. Painkillers, cold compresses, anything to take the edge off

Tie that up with that wondrous, "not gonna bother them with it" mentality? That, "they're already suffering, I can't make it worse" ideal? "They're injured. How can I take a break when they're gonna bleed out?" How far can you push that until you collapse, and the role switches yet again? It's an endless, deliciously whumpy cycle.

RAHHHHHHH I hope this is satisfactory because oh my gosh do I love survival with carewhumpee duos. Gah........ delicious.

I hate this rat man

Does it HAVE to me? Can't they just call imortal pest control or something to kill this thing??

Wait, i guess IM the imortal pest control...

the saddest thing about me thinking I could survive in Ketterdam isn't even that the severe violence would kill me it'd be the weather

Tails picks up learning about med and first aid and biology from a young age, and he's very good at it. but not bc he actually likes it, he doesnt learn about it because he's interested in it, not like he's interested in machinery and inventing

Everyone is like tehe youre so smart of course you know all this and hes like when I was five I resuscitated my brother but i did it wrong and fucked up his ribs. so I decided to learn how to do it properly. medicine and biology is not something I am interested in but I AM interested in my friend's health especially when THEY dont seem to care enough about it

If I had a nickel for every character dynamic in Honkai Star Rail that consisted of a man shrouded in mystery with daggers doing shady questionable stuff behind the scenes and a doctor who gives their very soul and being to cure their patients, I would have 2 nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

I am talking about Moze & Jiaoqiu and Sampo & Natasha, btw.

How to Stockpile Antibiotics Without a Prescription

May 23, 2024 In 2019 the U.S. Department of Commerce stated that an estimated 97% of all antibiotics used in the U.S. were made in China.  While some have disputed that high figure, it still remains that China, the U.S. avowed enemy, makes and supplies most of our antibiotics. ##### Antibiotics can save your life but they are notoriously hard to stockpile if you don’t know about this ingenious…

do you think tommy will bubble buck again tonight? idk what he'd be doing - working maybe, seeing some fireworks and thinking he might text, maybe it's been enough time - but for whatever reason, he doesn't hit send again? but it's okay because buck is in a mid-season hiatus and no one is around to tell him not to do it, so he sees the bubbles but this time - finally - he sends a text of his own wishing tommy a happy new year and that 2025 gives him everything he wants. tommy gets it just as the clock turns to midnight, almost like a new year kiss. starting the year as they mean to go on.

haven't drawn them in a while, they seem to be going thru it..

A bite isn't necessarily a death sentence, though it is a massive infection risk. Until the world of apocalyptic medicine catches up, drastic and immediate action must be taken.

“Come now, baby sister. Aren’t you curious in the least about your role in all this? The Kaminoans had a very special plan for you…”

For this, the month of spooks and frights, have some Imperial Tech on Mt. Tantiss horror. Happy Halloween and sweet dreams >:)
