also it was a cruel joke on Rick's part to title the first book in his series about/for dyslexic teenagers... "The Lightning Thief." how dare you sir. you know exactly what you did. your target audience will never be able to spell the name of your book correctly.

dr ratio x reader x aventurine sex (gn reader)

i was about to sleep and then i got a Vision.

like— you’re between them, your cock/strap fucking aventurine while he’s whining and clawing at your back as ratio is fucking you nice and slow. “come on now, get your hips to work. you wouldn’t want to disappoint our dear gambler would you?” you whimper out something that sounds vaguely like a yes as aventurine lets out a whine of your name as you’ve hit his g-spot so good that even if you can’t see it you’re sure there’s some blood on your back from how hard he’s digging his nails onto it.

another scenario is ratio fucking aventurine from behind while he is (pathetically) trying his best to fuck you. his ass being full and his dick being sucked dry of any cum by your hole at the same time doesn’t really leave him sober. you cup his cheeks and coo at him, telling him that if he wants to cum inside you, he has to make both you and ratio cum. he whines that it’s unfair and ratio takes aven’s cock in his hand, squeezing the base and blocking his tip with his thumb, “to make it easier for you.” he says. he just wants to see him crumble aventurine’s so sure of it.

Shovel Knight x Hyper light drifter

Bought recently HLD and fell in love with everything, the backgrounds, the characters design, the music, etc... As I wanted to do a mix/crossover/fusion (?) with both games, since I saw that there were already some with Shovel Knight with Hollow knight and wanted to try with HLD!

I'll maybe do a part 2 since I wanted to add Shovel Knight and Black Knight with The Drifter and the co op drifter too.

All hail small paper squares!

petition to make this the new official bisexual flag

[stuckinapril]

so past the point of changing people's minds about me!! like i actually just realized today that i don't care. i am so much more capable of shrugging my shoulders at someone's preconceived notions of me than i used to be. throughout my life i will probably run into many a person who will have a negative impression of me that they will not be able to dispel (or will go out of their way to fuel for the sake of their confirmation bias or whatever it is). but i will also have the honor of meeting a lot of amazing people who won't do that and who will actually see me for who i really am and will affirm that w their thoughts and actions. so long as i know who i am, anyone who's willing to make the effort will know who i am too. and that's all that matters

Writing Notes: Plague

Plague - a serious, potentially life-threatening infectious disease that is usually transmitted to humans by the bites of rodent fleas. It was one of the scourges of early human history.

Endemic—A disease that occurs naturally in a geographic area/population group.

Epidemic—A disease that occurs throughout part of the population of a country.

Pandemic—A disease that occurs throughout a regional group, the population of a country, or the world.

There are 3 major forms of the disease: bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic.

Bubonic Plague

Two to five days after infection, patients experience:

A sudden fever

Chills

Seizures

Severe headaches

Followed by the appearance of swellings or "buboes" in armpits, groin, and neck

The most commonly affected sites are the lymph glands near the site of the first infection.

As the bacteria multiply in the glands, the lymph node becomes swollen.

As the nodes collect fluid, they become extremely tender.

Occasionally, the bacteria will cause an ulcer at the point of the first infection.

Buboes—Smooth, oval, reddened, and very painful swellings in the armpits, groin, or neck that occur as a result of infection with the plague.

Septicemic Plague

Bacteria that invade the bloodstream directly (without involving the lymph nodes) cause septicemic plague. (Bubonic plague also can progress to septicemic plague if not treated appropriately.)

Does not involve the lymph glands is particularly dangerous because it can be hard to diagnose the disease.

The bacteria usually spread to other sites, including the liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, and sometimes the eyes, or the lining of the brain.

Symptoms include:

Fever

Chills

Prostration

Abdominal pain

Shock

Bleeding into the skin and organs

Septicemia—The medical term for blood poisoning, in which bacteria have invaded the bloodstream and circulates throughout the body.

Pneumonic Plague

May occur as a direct infection (primary) or as a result of untreated bubonic or septicemic plague (secondary).

Primary pneumonic plague is caused by inhaling infective drops from another person or animal with pneumonic plague.

Symptoms, which appear within 1-3 days after infection, include:

A severe, overwhelming pneumonia

Shortness of breath

High fever

Blood in the phlegm

If untreated, half the patients will die.

If blood poisoning occurs as an early complication, patients may die even before the buboes appear.

Life-threatening Complications of Plague include:

Shock

High fever

Problems with blood clotting

Convulsions

Bioterrorism—Use of disease agents to terrorize/intimidate a civilian population.

Treatment

As soon as plague is suspected, the patient should be isolated, and local and state departments notified.

Drug treatment reduces the risk of death to less than 5%.

The preferred treatment is streptomycin administered as soon as possible.

Alternatives include gentamicin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.

Prevention

Anyone who has come in contact with a plague pneumonia victim should be given antibiotics, since untreated pneumonic plague patients can pass on their illness to close contacts throughout the course of the illness.

All plague patients should be isolated for 48 hours after antibiotic treatment begins. Pneumonic plague patients should be completely isolated until sputum cultures show no sign of infection.

Residents of areas where plague is found should keep rodents out of their homes.

Anyone working in a rodent-infested area should wear insect repellent on skin and clothing.

Pets can be treated with insecticidal dust and kept indoors.

Handling sick or dead animals (especially rodents and cats) should be avoided.

Vaccines

Plague vaccines have been used with varying effectiveness since the late 19th century.

Experts believe that vaccination lowers the chance of infection and the severity of the disease. However, the effectiveness of the vaccine against pneumonic plague is not clearly known.

Vaccinations against plague are not required to enter any country.

Because immunization requires multiple doses over a 6–10 month period, plague vaccine is not recommended for quick protection during outbreaks.

Moreover, its unpleasant side effects make it a poor choice unless there is a substantial long-term risk of infection.

The safety of the vaccine for those under age 18 has not been established.

Pregnant women should not be vaccinated unless the need for protection is greater than the risk to the unborn child.

Even those who receive the vaccine may not be completely protected.

The inadequacy of the vaccines available as of 2014 explains why it is important to protect against rodents, fleas, and people with plague.

A team of researchers in the UK reported in the summer of 2004 that an injected subunit vaccine is likely to offer the best protection against both bubonic and pneumonic forms of plague.

somehow for some reason the knights take on a spell that lights up the scars that litter their bodies. arthur has the most with leon as a close second. gwaine and percival and pretty much tied for third though gwaines are much smaller - from more brawls than battles. elyan and lancelot have their fair share but less that the others. that is until they turn to see merlin lit up like a goddamn glowstick. the others (bar lancelot) had been expecting maybe a few nicks from being on the outskirts of battles or mishaps from working on a farm back in ealdor, not……this. the light (which shines through their clothes as if the fabric isn’t even there) is practically blinding on merlin, covering every inch of skin. more so than even arthur. lancelot prompts them all to move on and everyone does, holding themselves back from asking the questions they desperately want answered

God things are only going to get much worse now that the deer was captured. Hey herb gatherer, witness the consequences of your betrayal! That deer saved you twice already.

You better help me rescue them & the others or I swear I’m gonna…..!

Oh who am I kidding, I’m begging for your help.

I still can’t believe they poisoned the oasis. These are the biggest dark plants I’ve ever seen! The water has grown foul too.

Wait a minute, isn’t the water here connected to the town. There’s a tunnel at the lake’s bottom that leads directly into town. Isn’t this their water supply.

Uh Oh 😟
