speaking about the fact that sozo seems the be the only one infected by the unnamed cordyceps-inspired fungus. irl, theres different splits (subgen) of cordyceps and each of them i think can only infect One Type of Host. like irl split subgen of cordyceps that seems to the inspo for sozo's parasite is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, all of them in this subgen can only infect one tribe of ant called Camponotini, and cannot infect any others. i think?? (due to reproductive isolation yadayada) so i always sorta linked it in my head that "oh its only infecting sozo because it can only infect ants or something like that".
[or whatever, take my words with a grain of salt im a random autistic artist who graduated from highschool like two years ago,,,,,, that just happens to have a special interest in biology lol]
Yeah I sorta wondered that as well!! It could be that the type of cordyceps within game is just extremely specified to ant folk, in which case my theories get even more complicated because then anything could be going on there (the menticide itself causing the infection, a separate fungus causing the infection, the mutualistic stuff I mentioned,,,)
I just wasn't totally certain n didn't suggest it being super specialized since 1)
When I was taught very broadly about cordyceps, we were shown images of various insects getting infected from grasshoppers to beetles, so I wasn't certain how many generalized vs. specialized cordyceps were sporin around hdgKJSHG
and 2)

I'm just Not Sure what to make of this in general

Took a lil break from the comic to take care of some serious business with my work, and get back on my bean bullshit /pos
100% the fault of the animated series on youtube by @rodamrix, recently rediscovered it after several years and my god!! It's come so far, and I love it so much!!! And it made me miss the space beans in a way I haven't in a long time ;u; So I remade my Among Us character, using features directly from my preferred in-game outfit!
Say hi to Cyan-tist (Cyan)!
I'll info-dump on my bean below the cut xD It's really long, you've been warned!
Backstory
Cyan worked in the specimen laboratory at MIRA HQ, occasionally taking trips off-planet for fieldwork and sample collecting. Cyan was very attached to her many pets, and would get engrossed in her work studying her specimens.
Unfortunately, she was caught alone in the specimen lab one day, and the impostor- Orange- who snuck into MIRA via transport vessel, sought to gain a new ally. Orange cornered and converted Cyan into an impostor by infecting her with the parasite, and once she turned, Cyan went into a feral hunger rampage, mindlessly killing and eating all of her pets and specimens in the lab. The grief of losing her beloved companions and all her work snapped her back into control of herself, only for Orange to praise her for the carnage. Outraged, Cyan turned on Orange, killing and eating him, too.
Not wanting to die for killing a seemingly innocent crew mate, Cyan outed herself immediately to her crew, handing over Orange's remains as well as their weapons during the meeting. Because Cyan never killed any actual crew mates, her crew decided to let her stay, on the condition that she be observed at all times via her Glitch Console (the Twitch pet lmao). She uses Glitch to stream her continued work in the lab, and keep in near constant contact with the rest of her team - it's also MIRA's way of keeping tabs on her, since she's on thin ice as a known impostor.
Cyan has a vitriolic hatred of other impostors, and can hardly conceive of another 'friendly' impostor like her existing. Whenever a hostile impostor shows up, all of her team have an alarm button on their tablets to call her, and 'deploy' Cyan to 'fix' the problem. This has regained some trust with her closest friends in her crew, though Cyan prefers to stay isolated in her laboratory with her new pets. She would love to find a cure for her condition, but is resigned to existing as she is, and it can't bring back the pets she lost. Cyan is soft on animals, robots, her fellow crew, and children, and has misused science lab equipment to make treats for young visitors. Don't mess with her work or she'll bite you.
Abilities
Cyan-tist is a Shapeshifter variant Impostor. She cannot turn into everybody she sees- however, she can transform into anything living she has ever eaten. The higher percentage of the creature she consumes, the better the disguise. She can shapeshift clothing from her own body matter. The 'cat hat' she once wore has become a physical part of her, the ears functional for hearing and movement, and the eyespots capable of sight, producing tears, and emoting.
Due to her initial feral rampage in the lab, Cyan can transform into a wide variety of crewmate pets and lab specimens- her favorites being the three forms of her former companions: a Doggy, a Headslug, and a Squig. She often uses these to spy on new arrivals undetected, attempting to sus out foreign impostors from the cohort. Cyan can adapt features to her existing body at any level she wants- for example, she can gain the fur coat of the Doggy, the wings of the Pouka or the Goose, or the tentacles of the Squig without needing to fully shapeshift. The Doggy form in particular has a heightened sense of smell, allowing her to detect if the scent of a foreign impostor is present, though it may not be sufficient to identify the specific individual from a crowd.
Cyan-tist's adaptive shapeshifting is powerful enough that she can gain the unique attributes of other impostors she has eaten. This includes her advanced chromatophores for changing color, which she acquired from Orange, the first impostor she killed and consumed. Very few impostors since Orange have had anything noteworthy to add to her repertoire of skills. Cyan swore to never eat a crew mate.
Completely self-indulgent Rodamrix Animated Series thoughts
Okay I couldn't help it, I wondered about what would happen if Cyan were to be present in the series. !!!SPOILER WARNING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, DO NOT READ THIS PART!!!
Original series- If she didn't adapt to the sudden climate shift of the impostor takeover, or stood with the crew in any capacity when they began to spread out of control, Cyan-tist is most likely dead. She would not have gotten along with many- if any- of the impostors within MIRA HQ, and actively would have stood against or tried to kill them, making her an enemy. I can't imagine Big Purple let her live if she tried anything. If by some miracle she DID survive, Cyan is most likely operating as a plant within the impostor hideout, smuggling supplies or otherwise tipping off the survivors as to the movements of the horde so crewmates can escape or avoid being discovered.
Alternate series- Cyan-tist is completely unaware of the plot that Crimson and the MIRA HQ heads have for selling off impostors/parasites and dissenters as test subjects. As such, she continues to operate in her specimen lab, on constant watch for new impostors to show up and threaten her crew and friends. The future arrival of Red, Purple, and Pink would set off HUGE alarm bells for her, and she would be on high alert the moment she detects they're impostors. Cyan would HATE Purple as a known killer impostor, be sus of Pink's no-thoughts-head-empty behavior- though she'd discover quickly he could be distracted with snacks- and not trust Red until his own crew vouches for him. Once the Skeld survivors confirm Red is innocent and a fellow 'good' impostor who saved their lives, Cyan would back off, but keep her eye on all of them.

After a long time coming I finally did it. I have made a full list of all my AUs via drawing Isaac in all of them! +3 extra forms from a few said AUs. I’m so excited to have these out and be able to start sharing more about them!
I’ll give a short description of each AU under the cut
Basement: My most canon-adjacent AU. It’s how I view the basement and the stories of the kids/basement borns inside. A bleak story, but one that comes with a happy ending. Other than Purgatory, this is the one I’ve talked about the most. As many of my tboi HCs are placed here
Purgatory: The main AU. Purgatory follows Isaac as he travels through hell and heaven while figuring out life on earth. Trying his best to avoid being captured due to his status as a “Prophet”; a special human soul who has connections to both the spiritual and physical realms
Parasite: The world is put into an apocalypse after an earthquake opened up a giant crater and released a swarm of locusts that spread parasites onto the populous. Most end up dead after being infected, the few that live are given special abilities, putting humanity to the test
Sacrifice: I lovingly call this my Magical Girl AU. A bunch of random people are picked and sent into a death-match for the world’s entertainment. Helped by their friendly familiar that allows them to transform into more powerful forms. Sinister secrets hides underneath it all
9 Lives: Another AU I have written a bit about here. After the original human world was destroyed humanity moves to a new world to save themselves. In the far future, Isaac finds himself wrapped up on the wrong end of a devil deal and has 9 chances to live his life to the fullest
New God: The world needs to be started again. In hopes that fresh blood will bring better change, they take in a baby God and train them so they can make a better world before they destroy the old one. Eden and Azazel watch the new God with worry for their own futures
Cursed: Isaac is cursed and seems to bring a terrible fate to whatever comes in contact with him. For as long as he can remember, he has isolated himself to avoid bringing more pain to others. A group of young college adults find him in an abandoned house and give him hope again
Armageddon: A different timeline/future setting for Purgatory. The tainted timeline where Judas successfully merges the physical and spiritual realms. Now with the world’s fate on the line, the new archangel Isaac has to make sure the world goes in the right direction
Soul Bond: The au I made completely on a whim. A world that’s defined by everyone’s soul being bonded to someone else’s and the trip down The Basement some will take to break/make their current bonds. A lot more fantastical and “out there” than most of my other AUs
Adult: The future au for all of the Basement kids. Basically everyone’s older now and working through the trauma of what the basement did to them. Some of the basement’s old scars still stick strong to this day
Angel AU: An AU where everyone is dead Yippie 🎉All the characters are either angels or demons. Living their afterlife to the best they can while shifting through their deaths (they all died pretty young). This AU was originally made for my “Ask Angel Jacob and Esau” ask blog
Edmund Ultra Pride: A comedy AU about Ultra Pride and their mysterious ability to change the basement to their whim with their art tablet. They end up taking a liking to a child who accidentally falls in and tries to make their situation more palatable
The extra 3: Tainted Isaac and Infernal Isaac are both from the basement au. Tainted is self explanatory. Infernal is based on a new game mode idea I’ve been toying with. And I’ve talked about Brother Delirious a small bit. But he’s P!Isaac’s worst thoughts taken physical form
I would write more about all of these, but I’ve written more than enough for now lmao. I’m always here to answer any questions and I do love talking about my AUs. I hope to make more content for these more and I might do this same format with other characters. Very excited to finally have this out of my brain zone

Yugi/Atem, M Rated
-
Alternate Universe - Subnautica Fusion, No Subnautica Knowledge Required, Happy Ending, Science Fiction, Survival, Adventure, Romance, Grief/Mourning, Trauma, Fluff, Communication, Cultural Differences, Ancient Egyptian Religion - Freeform,
Includes but not very graphic: Sex, Injuries, Infection, Parasites, Politics, Death (not main characters and off screen)
-
Atem, Crown Prince of Khemet, a world only recently introduced to the wider universe. On the way to an arranged marriage to an alien princess he's never met. Hoping to save his people.
Yugi Muto, head engineer of the Gandora and grandson of the captain. The ship his home, the crew his family.
4546B, an unexplored ocean planet.
Two survivors. One lifepod.
-
Chapter 1
Atem wasn't even surprised anymore.
Exasperated, desperate, but not surprised. The last months had been getting progressively worse after all. Really, he should've expected this.
"Listen," he hissed with the little patience he had left, "I am not some spoiled tourist. Lives depend on me getting there in time. And if you can't get me there," he gestured derisively at the broken parts of the supposedly top class ship, "then tell me who can!"
The man looked at him calculatingly, before finally relaxing and drawling, "Well, you are trying to leave Federation space, so your pickings are slim. Needs a whole lot of paperwork to even get permission. That alone would take most ships days - if not weeks - at the very least to set up. Buuuut - I think I do know someone who could help you. Far as I remember old Solomon still has his permit, and is flying in that direction anyway. I meant to meet him here while both our ships filled their tanks. But I already sent him a rain check after your emissary in spe insisted the repairs couldn't wait - so he's likely not staying long. He's over in Bay 613. I can send a message, but if I were you I would run. No telling how long he's gonna wait."
Atem cursed in a highly un-princely fashion and gave the order - in his native Khemetian - to grab the most important gifts. They didn't have time to carry all of them over.
Grabbing one of the rings from his hand he turned to the man again.
"Send that message. And continue the journey as soon as you've finished your repairs. I will meet you there."
Handing the solid gold ring with its precious stones off to the man, he pulled out his rather new tablet for quick directions. It had definitely been overpriced, gift or not. Not even two month old and already much slower than it should have been. Stupid, cutthroat Federation tech-
Atem finally rushed forward. Blind, desperate hope to prevent a senseless war in his heart. To provide a future for his people.
Or at the very least buy them time to prepare with his own life.
-
"Only a fool would willingly travel through Zorkian space. Nevermind visiting their homeplanet. So no, I will not be flying you there. But!" the old man continued before Atem could further voice his desperation.
At this point he wasn't above begging and he feared it showed.
"I know there's a trading station with a direct connection - if you are fool enough to step foot on one of the Zorkian ships too. I can get you there, but it's going to cost you. Not that you will have use of any of your luxury where you are going."
"Thank you for the warning, Captain. I believe that this should suffice?" The number on the check was not a bad one for the distance, but admittedly on the low side considering they were leaving Federation space. Before the old man could voice his open displeasure Atem continued, "I will double it if you get me there in under a month."
"Triple. This old lady isn't made for speed, and on top of running her ragged she will need a whole lot more to drink."
"Deal." Atem agreed, aware of the calculating glint in the man's eyes. There was something about the captain that warned Atem not to underestimate him. Despite the jolly nature he had at first shown there was clear intelligence there. If they negotiated for long, like his people usually did, he feared the price would only rise.
And he really didn't have the time.
Nor the stomach, if he was entirely honest with himself. In which case he would have to admit that he would likely not be doing much negotiating at his destination either. Or ever again.
Honesty was overrated.
Captain Solomon blinked, and looked at him for a moment that felt like an eternity. Atem couldn't read him, even though that was literally what he was trained to do.
With people of his own culture, rather than planets all over the universe.
Not being able to read even a simple ship captain was disconcerting. Disheartening, really.
But in the end the captain laughed. They shook hands and that was that. Atem's fate was once again sealed.
And if there had been a hint of pity in the old man's eyes when he told them where to go, Atem ignored it.
He had been getting entirely too good at that.
-
Perhaps the pity for once had not been for his coming fate, but rather for the immense discomfort he and his people would be facing the next weeks.
"The cargo bay. They expect us to sleep in the cargo bay?!"
"They don't usually transport passengers. It was hard enough getting passage at all, and we all agreed before leaving that our mission is more important than our comfort. Did we not?" Atem admonished his attendant. Shada? Shadi?
He had read up on all six of them before undertaking the journey. Each of them volunteers without family. High enough up the hierarchy to matter, low enough they weren't irreplaceable.
The least he could do was remember their names.
But Atem was tired, tempers were high, and most of all he just wanted his friends right now. Mana who could make anything look like a good thing, could make him laugh when he was crying. Mahad who always knew what to say, who had fought tooth and nail and had to be restrained when Atem left anyway.
Atem couldn't let him come along, as he would have if given the chance.
And he couldn't not go. His people needed him.
Even with all that in mind he was still glad when one of the crewmen came by and at least fabricated them some beds.
A young man - boy? - with wild, colorful hair. Same height as his, but Atem was short for a Khemetian. And Federation people all seemed to be giants.
Quickly silencing his attendants muttering, he nodded his head in thanks - a federation gesture he had picked up from their diplomats.
There was nothing comfortable about this journey or the destination, but at least he wouldn't already be hurting all over when he arrived.

OK, new mouse added, screenshot software redownloaded, let's continue the Nautiloid adventures. I also kicked my resolution down from 1440p to 1080p in the hopes that it might make some of the dialogue text screenshots a little larger.
Tumblr media
Let's get the hell out of here.
The only other interactable object in this room is the "Eldritch Tablet," which sounds like something of a mindfuck in itself:
Tumblr media
To the north end of the room is what appears to be some kind of possible exit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dragons are still flying around outside, the Nautiloid's tentacles flailing wildly in all directions, unearthly screams sounding on the wind. Hector does his best not to look in any direction, but continues going straight forward and letting pure adrenaline drive him. If he thinks too much about what's happening to him, he will absolutely lose it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A rustle of movement behind him, the sound of footsteps, and he lets out a sharp cry of fear and dismay as the githyanki woman from the prison leaps into his path, a gleaming sword gripped tightly in both hands.
"Abomination! This is your end!"
Tumblr media
He wants to object, to plead, to run, to panic - but before he can do any of these things, there is a sudden burst of blinding-white pain through his head. He staggers, eyes rolling back, as imagery flashes through his brain. Dimly he is aware that the woman's sword has dropped, that she seems to be clutching at her temples as well as a sudden energy surges between them.
Tumblr media
"My head. What is this...ngh..."
Tumblr media
Narrator: Your head throbs and your skin tingles. Visions rush past: a dragon's wing, a silver sword - and a flash of your face seen through the strange woman's eyes.
For a few terrifying moments, he feels as if he will lose himself there on that strange bridge of flesh, but slowly the pain ebbs and he is able to straighten up. The woman is looking at him warily, the sword now lowered, and an entirely unexpected expression slowly working onto her face - relief, even excitement.
Tumblr media
"Tsk'va. You are no thrall- Vlaakith blesses me this day! Together, we might survive!"
Tumblr media
He backpedals a few steps from her, his eyes narrowed, hands ready to go for the battered quarterstaff on his back. He can hold his own in a fight - but he doesn't trust himself in his current condition, manacled by fear as he is. His voice emerges in a hoarse croak. "Who are you?"
Tumblr media
She glares at him, as if irritated at his slowness in understanding the situation. "Who am I? your only chance of survival."
"What made you think I was a thrall?" he asks, eyeing the sword now on her back with considerable caution.
Her scowl deepens. "We carry mind flayer parasites. Unless we escape, unless we are cleansed, our bodies and minds will be tainted and twisted. Within days, we will be ghaik. Mind flayers."
He feels the panic starting to rise in his throat again. He remembers reading of mind flayers in some of the older tomes at the monastery - terrifying creatures that consume the mind and personality of their victims for psionic energy. No one he knows had ever seen one - at least not before that ship roared out of the clouds above the city south of the temple...
"We are turning into mind flayers?" he asks shakily. "There must be something we can do!"
She shakes her head gruffly and turns away, pulling the sword from its sheath again. "We can do nothing until we escape - that must be our priority." She points down the path ahead of them; several of the monstrous winged creatures that surrounded the ship are now feasting on some of its fleshy construction, making squealing, slurping sounds of excitement.
Tumblr media
"First," the githyanki woman says, "we exterminate the imps. Then we find the helm and take control of the ship." She rounds on him again, stabs a finger at his chest. "We will address the matter of a cure for this infection once we reach the material plane."
Hector nods blankly. He is desperately grateful for some sense of direction in this terrible place. (Where even are they? If not the material plane, then where?) He reaches for the memories of long hours spent training in combat in the monastery's training halls; it is a point of stability to which he can focus himself now. He does not know what is going on - but he does know how to fight. His masters saw to that from his boyhood.
He nods again, more firmly, and she turns away, charging outward towards the imps with a githyanki shout.
Tumblr media
"Htak'a!"

#Househuntedgame #InfectedRealtorAu #FungmammalForms
Real Estate Agents/Brokers and Second Chance Real estate workers/brokers be like.
How they draw stuff in their hands like a pen and tablet to make houses/other items.
Real Estate Agents/Brokers and Second Chance versions walk around the Work District of the Uncanny Valley but most wander around to overhear beings problems.
Mostly hear keywords like house or homeless then they walk over to the person to ask if they have been evicted or kicked out.
The Mutualism/ Commensalism will say "Hello, I overheard you were recently misplaced in housing."
"Sorry that happened to you but how about I make you your dream home today."
The Parasitism will say "Hey, I overheard you were recently kicked out of your place."
They will act buddy buddy with you.
"How about I make you a dream pad today." "No catches okay and very quick build."
"You will like your new place I guarantee it."
And will wink after this.
The Defective/Blanks will say "S-sorry to butt in your conversation but. I overheard you were recently kicked out of your home."
They will act shy and nervous with you like it's their first day doing this.
"But I can try to help if you want but if not I can leave. sorry."
The Defective and Blanks tend to take longer to make their 3-D printed house but they are sturdy and built to last unlike the parasitism ones which are quickly built.
Their houses seem to be the ones that don't really need fixing.
The first thing a newly formed Real Estate Agent/Broker will make is a 3d printed version of a obscure down on their luck starving or near dying noninfected Realtor that was eaten by a fungmammal then fused with them during the fake "reproducing" of a Realtor.
Real estate brokers/agents and the rare Second Chance versions sometimes call their business partners clients since the term buyers is a non infected realtor term that they don't really like.

They are made of silly putty that was laminated then when melted when too hot reveals the fungmammal.
The super swimmer are the parasite ones.
Tumblr media
Falseperson's fake bodies be like
--------------------------------------
A Falseperson's fake skin is plastic putty like with a plastic wrap coating that makes them hydrophobic when swimming in water and packing tape texture that mixes with the fungmammal's spores to complete the body.
The skin tone is up to what the fungmammal wants it to be.
Similar to these with a bootleg silly putty and I remember making one in class along time ago and I bet it's at the dump or the ocean floating with the other trash.
If the fungmammal that successfully changed into a Falseperson eats a lot of metal before changing then their body could be a little magnetic or eat a ton of sweets will have a nice sweet scent to their body.
When a Falseperson gets hit with a physical move they will take the hit then save that force for a later attack by them that will be two times more powerful.

How the Clients Transactions Work
---------------------------------------
Real Estate Agents/Brokers and Second Chance Real estate workers/brokers business cards have fused within their body and before the clients agree on building the 3D house each party must shake hands or fist bump to transaction the build.
If the being or person doesn't have hands then a bow or nod maybe saying yes please will work.
Once that happens these Real Estate Agents/Brokers and Second Chance Real estate workers/brokers get to work.
After completion some will want a review written down on paper or just said to them to give feedback on what needs to be approved on or if some are parasite types they will delete that bad reviews to look better.
You place the written review in their hand to absorb it or mouth to consume to store later and they give you a website with a code to use if you want to edit or update the reviews.
Seemed like reviews replaced the rankings.

A Comprehensive Guide to Deworming for Optimal Health
As a responsible and caring pet owner, the well-being of your furry companion is undoubtedly a top priority. One crucial aspect of pet care that should never be overlooked is deworming. Internal parasites, such as worms, can silently infest your pet and pose serious health risks if left untreated. To safeguard your pet's optimal health and happiness, it's essential to understand the importance of deworming and follow a comprehensive deworming regimen.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Importance of Deworming:
Pets, especially dogs and cats, are vulnerable to internal parasites, which can be contracted through various means, including contaminated food, water, or exposure to infected animals. The most common types of worms that affect pets are roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and heartworms. These parasitic invaders can lead to various health issues, such as weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, anemia, and even life-threatening conditions.
Deworming is the process of administering medications that target and eliminate these internal parasites. It plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of parasites, minimizing the risk of transmission to other pets and even humans. Regular deworming is vital for maintaining optimal health and quality of life for your furry companion.
Tumblr media
A Comprehensive Guide to Deworming:
Consult with Your Veterinarian: Before starting any deworming regimen, schedule a visit with your veterinarian. They will perform a thorough examination and may conduct fecal tests to identify the presence of parasites and determine the most appropriate deworming treatment.
Choose a Broad-Spectrum Dewormer for dogs: Select a Dewormer for dogs that offers broad-spectrum protection, targeting multiple types of internal parasites. These Dewormer for dogs are effective against various worms, providing comprehensive protection for your pet.
Deworm Puppies and Kittens Early: Young animals are more susceptible to worms and can be born with them if the mother is infected. Deworming puppies and kittens should begin at about two weeks of age and continue at regular intervals as recommended by your veterinarian.
Follow the Recommended Dosage: Always administer the Dewormer for dogs according to your veterinarian's instructions and the product label. The dosage is typically based on your pet's weight and age.
Maintain a Regular Deworming Schedule: Depending on the Dewormer for dog's type and your pet's lifestyle, your veterinarian will recommend a deworming schedule. For most adult pets, deworming should occur every three to six months, but it may vary based on individual circumstances.
Prevent Heartworms: Heartworms are a serious concern, especially for dogs. Preventive medications are available, and they should be administered monthly to protect your pet from heartworm disease. These medications are typically available in chewable tablets or topical formulations.
Hygiene and Cleanliness: Practicing good hygiene and cleanliness in your pet's living environment is essential to minimize the risk of reinfestation. Regularly clean pet bedding, toys, food bowls, and litter boxes.
Monitor Your Pet's Health: Keep a close eye on your pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. If you notice any signs of distress or changes in their behavior, consult your veterinarian promptly.
Tumblr media
Conclusion:
Banishing parasitic invaders through regular deworming is an essential part of responsible pet ownership. By taking preventive measures and administering deworming treatments as recommended by your veterinarian, you can protect your pet from the harmful effects of internal parasites. A healthy and parasite-free pet will enjoy a happier and more vibrant life, enriching your bond and companionship. Remember, your veterinarian is your best ally in the battle against parasites. Seek their guidance and expertise to ensure your pet receives the most appropriate and effective deworming treatment. Together, you can banish these unwelcome invaders and provide your furry friend with the best chance for optimal health and well-being throughout their life.

The Last of Us: Episode One Opinions
- As a biologist, the whole transmission of this parasitic “fungi” species is not accurate. Maybe they will explain it further in the future. But exposure to this fungus, like inhaling it’s spores (if it reproduce that way) should be able to infect most of the population.
- I’m not really relating to any of the characters. Their personalities are all so “hostile” for the lack of a better word.
- can someone tell me how this fictional society decided that a totalitarian government where slavery and hanging people seems like a legit thing to do…?
-it’s been twenty years and still no one has a cure? Like this show assume all scientist have vanished from the world. All you need is some anti-fungal medication through a tablet, Iv infusion, or Directly into the Vein. Like you can make recreational drugs but not a cure….
For the record I am a big fan of all of the actors and the director; however, personally I cannot shut my brain off to follow along with the story.

TRANSCRIPT: MARP4: Everyday. one or two of us get infected by the parasites. They don't take over or anything, they just make us want to kill our friends, for some unknown reason. MARP4: But once there are only Parasites remaining, we all wake up again the next day as if nothing ever happened. MARP4: At first you might think "Time Loop" but, no, I found I can keep notes on my tablet. Certain things persist. MARP4: Our tablets always have a task list for us to complete. They seem aribtrary and random but the days that we manage to complete all of them before the parasites can kill us seem to end early. MARP4: That tells me that when days progress, some kind of goal is being achieved. And the simulation is reset. It's like a game. MARP4: And the game has rules. REDP0: Well that's kind of a relief to know. PINP1: WHAT NO IT'S NOT! YELP6: If what you're saying is true, then how the heck do we get out of it? BLUP5: Can we get out? We've been stuck here so long... MARP4: If this is a simulation, then maybe we can break it. Do something it doesn't expect; Break the rules. MARP4: Instead of either Crewmates or Parasites winning... MARP4: We all die at the same time.

OH YEAH and yeah idk maybe the big skull fungus very well could be like, a god. that it could be like, the one god shroom. i remember people before sotf were wondering if the mushroomos infected sozo(nious) on purpose because of the implication that its a god was in the file name even before the lore tablets mentioned it.. i think. i havent seen them for myself either besides small glances IT ALSO HAS A WHITE STEM?? INSTEAD OF A BLACK ONE LIKE SOZO HAS?? like?? is it a different type? what if its from an ancient ancestor? whats going on, whats the relation of the mushroomos to these similar but different fungi? im honestly just as confused as you are. i think about these things about the game, especially with sozo, so often and im glad someone else also does just as much LMAO. at this rate ive posted 3 fucking anon asks in a row im so sorry
COTL DEVS ANSWER ME WHAT IS THE SKULL SUPPSOED TO BE
If it is a god shroom then everything explodes because It's A God Shroom it could do whatever it wants for any reason . In which Sozo has a god in his body/brain(???) and that's why it can drag him with it when it's revived. and that is a Theory I've proposed before but then it's like. WHY would a god shroom NOT infect more than just Sozo. Surely it wants to propagate right??? Otherwise why infect at all?? Unless it just wanted a vessel??
I mean fuck if we really want to go insane about it, the fungi that kills Sozo doesn't even look like the same fungi
Tumblr media
and it split the one on his head in HALF so like. I assume it's the same fungi and it just spores in a strange way, because otherwise we're going into complicated ass hyperparasitism territory (parasites that infect other parasites) which we COULD do but like WHY, but i mean.
like. maybe this is a neverending spiral of endless fungi. who knows Throws my hands into the air.
AND DIFFERENT STEM COLORS YOU'RE RIGHT I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE?? COULD THEY BE DIFFERENT SPECIES THEN? BUT WHY ... Or is a maturity thing and maybe the one on Sozo is younger and will lose its darker colors as it ages????? I mean. And bear with me here, but. The shroom on the skull has fuckin age lines. So like. Old shroom? Old shroom gone white with age? Old? Shroom? Aged? Elderly shroom?
and don't even get me STARTED on the mushroomos who are themselves seemingly menticide (given they drop it when killed and sozo will eat them). like. the worldbuilding here is so fucked and I can only barely try to contain it into digestible boxes that make a vague amount of sense in my brain

Does Spring Water Need to Be Boiled Before Drinking?
Tumblr media
Introduction
Spring water, often considered the gold standard of natural hydration, flows directly from underground aquifers. It is widely regarded as clean and refreshing. However, appearances can be deceiving, and untreated water may carry contaminants that pose health risks. Boiling is a time-tested method to eliminate harmful pathogens, but is it always necessary? Let’s uncover the facts.
What Is Spring Water?
Spring water near me originates from underground sources that flow naturally to the surface. It is often rich in minerals and sought after for its clean taste. While many assume that spring water is inherently safe to drink, factors such as environmental contamination and bacterial presence can affect its quality.
Key Features of Spring Water:
Natural Origin: Derived from underground springs.
Mineral Content: Contains beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Fresh Taste: Free from additives or treatment in its natural state.
Does Spring Water Need to Be Boiled?
The safety of spring water depends on its source and treatment. While some sources may be pristine, others may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Boiling is recommended in specific scenarios to ensure water is safe for consumption.
When Should Spring Water Be Boiled?
Untested Water Sources:
If you’re unsure about the water’s safety, boiling eliminates harmful microorganisms.
Boil water sourced directly from springs during outdoor activities like hiking or camping.
Post-Contamination Events:
Boiling is essential after natural disasters or flooding, as contaminants can seep into the water source.
Remote Locations:
Springs in remote areas may be exposed to animal waste or environmental pollutants.
Benefits of Boiling Spring Water
1. Kills Harmful Microorganisms
Boiling destroys bacteria, viruses, and parasites like E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium.
How-To Tip: Bring water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute (3 minutes at higher altitudes).
2. Removes Suspended Impurities
While boiling doesn’t eliminate chemical contaminants, it helps in clearing sediment or floating particles by combining it with filtration.
3. Emergency Preparedness
Boiling is an effective and immediate solution for purifying water in emergency situations, ensuring safe hydration.
When Is Boiling Not Necessary?
Bottled Spring Water:
Commercially bottled spring water is treated and tested, making it safe to drink without boiling.
Tested Water Sources:
If the spring has been tested and verified as safe, boiling may not be required.
Treated Systems:
Springs connected to municipal water systems often undergo rigorous treatment and are safe for direct consumption.
Risks of Drinking Untreated Spring Water
Bacterial Contamination:
Pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella can cause gastrointestinal infections.
Viral Contamination:
Viruses such as norovirus may enter water sources through human or animal waste.
Parasites:
Protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium can lead to severe digestive issues.
Chemical Pollution:
Nearby industrial or agricultural activities can leach harmful chemicals into the water.
Alternatives to Boiling Spring Water
If boiling is inconvenient, consider the following methods:
1. Water Filtration
Use portable water filters to remove impurities and pathogens.
2. UV Purifiers
UV light devices neutralize microorganisms without altering the water’s taste.
3. Water Treatment Tablets
Tablets or drops containing chlorine or iodine can disinfect water effectively.
Comparison: Boiling vs. Filtration
FeatureBoilingFiltrationMicroorganism RemovalExcellentExcellentChemical RemovalNoneDepends on filter typeEase of UseModerateHighTime Required1-3 minutes boiling + coolingImmediateCostLowModerate
Best Practices for Ensuring Safe Spring Water
Test the Source:
Conduct periodic testing to ensure the spring water is free from harmful contaminants.
Use Protective Equipment:
Install protective covers over springs to prevent contamination from debris or animals.
Combine Methods:
Use boiling and filtration for comprehensive safety, especially in high-risk areas.
Store Safely:
Store water in clean, sealed containers to prevent re-contamination.
Conclusion
While spring water is naturally refreshing and rich in minerals, its safety can vary depending on the source. Boiling is a simple yet effective way to eliminate potential health risks from bacteria, viruses, and parasites. If you have access to tested and treated spring water, boiling may not be necessary. However, for untreated or uncertain sources, boiling is the best safeguard for your health.
FAQs
1. Is all spring water safe to drink without boiling?
No, the safety of spring water depends on its source. Untreated or untested water may contain harmful contaminants.
2. How long should I boil spring water to make it safe?
Boil the water for at least 1 minute at sea level or 3 minutes at higher altitudes.
3. Can I filter spring water instead of boiling it?
Yes, filtration is an effective alternative, especially when combined with boiling for added safety.
4. Does boiling remove chemical contaminants?
No, boiling only kills microorganisms. Chemical contaminants require filtration or advanced purification methods.
5. What should I do if spring water appears clear?
Clear water may still contain microscopic pathogens. Testing or boiling is necessary to confirm its safety.

10 RFK Jr. conspiracy theories and false claims, in his own words - The Washington Post
"children’s sexuality and gender identity.
“I want to just pursue just one question on these, you know, the other endocrine disrupters because our children now, you know, we’re seeing these impacts that people suspect are very different than in ages past about sexual identification among children and sexual confusion, gender confusion,” he said on his podcast in 2022, according to CNN.
Experts say there is no scientific evidence to back up Kennedy’s claims, which have also been spread by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
“That’s just leaning into the fear that hormones are going to make our kids gay or transgender. It’s a very old conspiracy theory,” said David Gorski, a Wayne State University professor of surgery and oncology and managing editor of Science-Based Medicine, which debunks misinformation in medicine. “That has no basis in evidence.”

Kennedy has falsely touted ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as effective covid treatments
Return to menu
Kennedy falsely claimed in a July interview last year with Fox News that fewer people would have died of covid-19 if the United States had deployed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Multiple studies have concluded that the antiparasitic and antimalarial drugs are ineffective against covid-19, despite the promotion of the drug by right-wing media.
“We racked up the highest death count in the world. We only have 4.2 percent of the globe’s population, but we had 16 percent of the covid deaths in this country, and that is … that was from bad policy. There’s … countries that did the opposite of what we did — that provided ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, other early treatments to their populations — and had 1/200th of our death rate,” he told Watters, the Fox host.
The FDA has approved ivermectin for treating some parasitic infections, head lice and skin conditions such as rosacea — but not for the coronavirus.
In spring 2020, the FDA authorized the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, to treat the coronavirus. But less than three months later, the agency withdrew the drug’s authorization because the medications “were unlikely to be effective.”

“Covid-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy said in a video recorded by the New York Post last July. “Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people.

There is no scientific basis to these claims. Scientists and politicians have widely decried Kennedy’s remarks as racist and antisemitic.

The ascension of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist, to the nation’s top health post has alarmed medical experts, who point to his history of trafficking in conspiracy theories as disqualifying to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Kennedy, whom President-elect Donald Trump selected as health secretary on Thursday, will be charged with a massive portfolio overseeing Americans’ insurance, drugs, medical supplies and food if the Senate confirms him.
“He is one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists in the United States and globally, and he has been at this for 20 years,” said Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
Kennedy’s anti-vaccine beliefs and advocacy work prompted Hotez to write a book about his autistic daughter titled “Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism,” said Hotez, adding that he has spoken to Kennedy several times in the past about his views on vaccines.
Kennedy’s spokeswoman previously told The Washington Post that he is not “anti-vaccine.” When asked to respond Thursday to his history of false health claims, she pointed to Kennedy’s statement on X, thanking Trump for picking him and pledging to “Make America Healthy Again.”

Kennedy has falsely linked vaccines to autism
Return to menu
Kennedy, who founded a prominent anti-vaccine group, has repeatedly linked the childhood vaccine schedule to autism — a claim that has been debunked by scientists. Kennedy has falsely blamed autism on thimerosal, a compound safely used as a preservative in vaccines, and decried the number of shots on the childhood vaccination schedule.
“I do believe that autism does come from vaccines,” he said last summer in an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters.
In 2015, Kennedy equated vaccination to the Holocaust at a California screening for an anti-vaccination film: “They get the shot, that night they have a fever of 103, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone,” he said. “This is a Holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”
Because signs of autism may appear around the same time children receive the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, some parents mistakenly link the two events. Vaccine safety experts, including those at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics, agree that the MMR vaccine is not responsible for recent increases in the number of children with autism.
Kennedy falsely called the coronavirus vaccine the ‘deadliest vaccine ever made’

At a 2021 state House hearing on a Louisiana Department of Health proposal to require schoolchildren to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, Kennedy proclaimed the vaccine to be the “deadliest vaccine ever made.” Health officials say the coronavirus vaccines are safe and effective, saving millions of lives.
At the time, Louisiana State Health Officer Joseph Kanter condemned Kennedy’s remarks as “the intentional spread of health disinformation.” Kanter is now chief executive of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, which represents public health agencies across the country.
Asked by The Post last year about his previous comments, Kennedy’s spokeswoman stood by his remarks in an email that repeated misleading statements about childhood vaccines.

There is a reason milk is pasteurized.
Raw milk is unsafe to consume, and the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC have strongly advised against consuming it because it can contain dangerous bacteria, such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria. It can also contain viruses, including the H5N1 bird flu virus that is causing an outbreak in dairy cattle and has sickened at least 46 people in the United States. Unpasteurized milk from infected cows can contain high levels of infectious H5N1 virus.
Stem cells, which have shown great promise for potential medical treatments, have also spawned a cottage industry of clinics marketing unproven treatments — some of which have blinded patients.
Paul Knoepfler, a professor of cell biology and human anatomy at the University of California at Davis who tracks questionable stem cell treatments, told The Post he is concerned Kennedy could become an ally of unproven stem cell clinics that have popped up across the United States, potentially exerting pressure on the FDA to back off enforcement actions and allow therapies that are not ready for clinical trial.
Kennedy argues government employees have an interest in ‘mass poisoning’ the American public
Return to menu
“The agency, the USDA, the FDA have been captured by the industries they’re supposed to regulate, and they all have an interest in subsidies and mass poisoning the American public,” Kennedy told Fox News in August.
Kennedy has repeatedly spoken about wanting to eliminate industry interests from the government, but public health experts say it is slander to imply that government employees are purposefully harming Americans.
“That’s just an inflammatory statement that has no basis in reality,” Hotez said. “I’ve worked with the scientists at the [health] agencies, at CDC and FDA, at the National Institutes of Health, and they are the most dedicated civil servants the nation has ever seen.”
Kennedy has falsely linked antidepressants to mass shootings
Return to menu
Kennedy has suggested mass shootings committed by young people are spurred by antidepressants and video games. Federal scientists need to be studying shootings to “see if there is connections to some of the SSRI [antidepressant] and psychiatric drugs people are taking, whether there is connections to video games,” he told Turkish state-owned TRT World in January.
The suggestion that antidepressants are linked to mass shootings has been amplified by right-wing figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson. But experts caution there is no credible research linking antidepressants to mass shootings. Studies show only a small percentage of mass shooters were taking medications or suffering from serious mental illness when they committed the crimes.
Kennedy incorrectly suggests AIDS may not be caused by HIV
Return to menu
Kennedy has repeatedly — and falsely — suggested that the human immunodeficiency virus is not the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The discovery of the connection between HIV and AIDS garnered a Nobel Prize in 2008 and is established science.
“They were doing phony, crooked studies to develop a cure that killed people without really being able to understand what HIV was, and pumping up fear about it constantly, not really understanding whether it was causing AIDS,” Kennedy said in an interview last summer with New York Magazine.
In his 2021 book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” Kennedy wrote that he takes “no position” on whether HIV causes AIDS — then dedicated many pages to casting doubt on the science.
Kennedy falsely argues children’s gender identity can be impacted by water

Kennedy has repeatedly argued that chemicals in the water are changing children’s sexuality and gender identity.
