Getting closer and closer to getting my loose skin removed- less than 3 months now until surgery 🙊
I do think I’m going to want a second surgery removing the loose skin on my arms and especially my armpit area, but I’m getting a tiny bit of lipo in my armpit with my belt lipectomy so maybe I can avoid that second surgery, we will see 🤷🏼♀️

someone stop Alastor from self-medicating, he's not as good at it as he thinks 😔😤
But yes, no, all these doodles were an excuse to draw Alastor in pyjamas, and also to figure out how to draw his hooves (and ofc angst in general pff)
Also, these were heaaavily inspired by this specific drawing @notherpuppet did! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it, so you could sorta call this fanart of fanart pff

hey medical side of tumblr, i need some help w a foot problem:
for some context: i was a classical ballet dancer (including a lot of pointe work) for about 17 years, and i danced about 35hrs a week during all of highschool. i am in my jr year of college now, and haven't properly danced in about 2 years. i also have been warned of stress fractures and potential tendonitis in this part of my foot by a dance instructor. it was never formally addressed because the pain ended up going away.
it all began in 2018(ish) when i got pretty bad pain around the ball of my foot, concentrated between my big toe and first toe. it was an issue when i put any weight on it. it was like this in short bursts- for some weeks id be without pain, then suddenly it would come back out of nowhere. the pain is pretty sharp, sorta like i stabbed myself.
this issue persisted for quite some time, but stopped in about 2020, when i stopped dancing as much because i was recovering from an unrelated ankle injury as well as quarantine.
however! last month, it started again. and this time it lasted days instead of hours, and was far worse than before. i now cant put any weight on it, without severe pain. i also have a really high pain tolerance and other chronic pain issues. it takes a lot to stop me. this issue now has returned to being pretty on and off at random times. it also has started brusing. this is worrying, because i rarely bruise. ive been icing it and raising it and all that general stuff, but nothings changed.
so: what the fuck is happening gang?
note: i have no primary care doctor, and i currently do not have access to a physician rn.

Further bits and pieces of worldbuilding that I really liked in Furiosa (the previous post have gotten rather long)
One of the first shots of the film is trees being detroyed by a shock wave, and later as the raiders escape with Furiosa we see the edges of the Green Place eroding into the desert; a sign of what's to come. And zooming in from space, this paradise is so terribly small...
Furiosa knows how to disable a motorcycle, but still marvels at the petrol pouring over her hand.
There's a brief moment where someone is using a satellite dish as a cooking pot!
Toe Jam and his companion automatically assume that it's Furiosa's father tracking them, not her parents; certainly not her mother.
The first thing the Organic Mechanic does whenever he meets someone new is to check their fingers and teeth to see what kind of health they're in; he does this later with the Lone War Boy, without even being told to do so by Dementus.
When his followers get too rowdy, Dementus calls them off with a whistle - they are his hounds too.
Dementus orders for their best drinking water to be used to wash Furiosa; an immediate sign of how valuable he considers her to be.
I have a theory about the Organic Mechanic serving human blood sausage (the jury is out on whether he was actually drawing Furiosa's blood or whether he was bluffing in front of Immortan Joe). He doesn't yet have the resources to safely do blood transfusions, so this is a simplified way of trying to keep Dementus healthy and strong!
There are wind turbines on the top of the Citadel, but we don't see them move; a shallow echo of the turbines in the Green Place.
The power dynamics in Dementus' horde; the Mortiflyers answer to the Octoboss, who calmly tells them to comply; compare this with Dementus' posturing...
Immortan Joe is the only one during negotiations to speak directly to Furiosa, asking her questions and getting answers from her - yet we never see him speak to any of the women in his harem. When one of them gives birth to a mutated baby he turns and departs without a word, leaving Scrotus to pass sentence on her.
I've commented before on how unsettling it is that Furiosa's given a little cubby of her own with a lamp and books and a bed, and how it all looks so normal. The whole setup of the harem is unnerving. Down in the depths of the Citadel everything is scavenged and mismatched; @cinemaocd noticed that the 'bunks' that Furiosa and Jack are sleeping on later in the film are actually repurposed lounge chairs. Even later on, when the People Eater is plotting battles, he uses salvaged objects to represent the armies. But up in the harem everything is preserved, clean and kept for its original purpose, from the chairs and chalkboard to the stacks of books and the ordinary (if not necessarily comfy) beds. Like the Green Place, the harem is recognisable and normal, a series of rooms you could well imagine in our universe...but it's a manufactured paradise rather than a natural one, a false 'haven' and a real prison for so many women.
