Rewatching the last seasons of Supernatural and I gotta ask, cause it's been nagging me...

Does Jack have his vaccinations?

anyway i think the funniest way to hc teru as trans is to have him not know that there are trans people other than him. he woke up one day when he was 11 and was like oh of course i can be a boy i am the main character and most special person and then he just attacked anyone who said he couldn’t with his psychic powers.

Crack concept, xue yang had no clue what demonic cultivation was and when Jin guangyao came looking for him he just lied and had to desperately learn on the fly

Is there a reason why Arthur's eyes are so red from the TB? Is that part of the insomnia or just general bodily deterioration?

Great question! The eyes are my favourite detail on Arthur during his illness, and there's lots of reasons for why they're like that in the first place.

The biggest one is inflammation. When your immune system is under stress, it can cause inflammation that affects the blood vessels all over your body, but it's much more noticeable in the eyes when the vessels rupture. Coughing fits especially can trigger blood vessels rupturing too. That's one of the reasons why Arthur's eyes look so bloodshot, but you're right about the insomnia!

Arthur's chronic fatigue and his lack of actual restful sleep puts a lot strain on his eyes, making them red and hazy like that during his exhaustion, but I think the second biggest factor is definitely to do with his lack of appetite.

By not getting the nutrients he needs, he was definitely deficient in all kinds of important vitamins and minerals. Being deficient in vitamins A and C can especially cause dryness in the eyes, making them red and irritated and bloodshot. There's also a specific variant of TB that affects the eyes! (Ocular tuberculosis) But I don't believe Arthur's TB ever fully spread to his eyes because his vision seemed pretty good for the most part.

So yes, his eyes are definitely like that because of his fatigue and stress, but also from how his body is struggling to cope with the illness.

Thanks for the question!

i think in a modern rdr au arthur would still end up dying of tuberculosis because dutch is anti-vax because he believes the government plants trackers in your body through them

The Quickening is such an interesting episode.

Like, the fact Julian is completely unable to comprehend euthanasia for an incurable disease as a kindness.

The fact that despite the fact he’s a doctor whose been through medical school he was Wholly unprepared to lose even One patient while Creating and Experimenting with a cure.

He really thought he’d get it right on the first go and save everyone.

And I think that a result of life with augmentation. While he might know the devastatingly slow process of drug testing he assumes he is exempt from that. Because he’s smarter and faster that he won’t make that “mistake”.

He has a fundamental misunderstanding of science. Because rather then the cruel reality of it being trial and error, to him, it’s something he usually gets it right in the first try.

So far in ds9, once a problem is identified, he finds a way to fix it. The issue is never the solution it’s diagnosing the problem.

Which leaves him complete unprepared for reality. You can’t save everyone. You don’t always get it 100% correct on the first time. Common sense for most people. But not for Julian Bashir. One failure, and he’s ready to give up.

He’s not used to not getting figuring it out fast enough. In fact, his problem is usually he gets there too fast and has to hide it.

He isn’t used to failing when it isn’t on purpose. Especially not in medicine.

It’s why he has no sympathy for a man providing kindness because he views it as giving up.

Because if it had been him he would have solved the problem by now.

Only, it isn’t that simple. And when people inevitably die. Something a normal doctor would have expected, Julian Bashir is completely defenseless.

He cannot face the truth.

He’s never had to before.

Julian and Keiko headcanons because Keiko gets sidelined so much and deserves the world and I wish we got to see them interact more

when they get stumped on their respective projects, they'll do late night work sessions together and bounce their research off each other to see if the other can help them figure out where the problem is. they'll do this in person when theyre both on the station, but also over call if one of them is away, and after the O'Briens move back to Earth

they edit each other's papers (Keiko marvels at Julian's ability to spell out complex chemical compounds with his eyes closed, and somehow use 'their' instead of 'there') (in his defense he wrote that bit at 4 in the morning after going 2 straight days without sleep) (she threatens to sedate him)

Julian sometimes brings back plants from planets they explore in the Gamma Quadrant and gives them to Keiko. sometimes he does it because the plant has medicinal properties and the two of them can do a joint research project, but most of the time he does it just to give her a nice gift

when Miles goes away for particularly dangerous missions, Julian will keep Keiko company and help keep her mind off of it. sometimes she has trouble sleeping because shes so worried, so he'll hang around and start rambling on about whatever he's currently working on until she falls asleep. he jokes he's boring her to sleep, but it actually means a lot to her

they have a weekly tea date. this is their prime gossip time. sometimes Jadzia is invited

when Keiko's mad at Miles she'll rant to Julian about it. Julian learned very quickly that this is not a time where advice is wanted, so he sits back and lets her get it all off her chest, because she really just wants someone to listen and let her blow off some steam

Julian makes a concentrated effort to learn more about plant husbandry and care after the incident where he accidentally killed some of Keiko's prized plants because he actually does feel very bad about it

Julian hovered over Keiko nearly as bad as Miles did when she was pregnant with Kirayoshi (and then he hovered over her even more after the pregnancy transfer, and he wouldnt tell anybody why, but Keiko knew it was because nearly losing her shook him up pretty bad)

when Julian gets outed for being augmented, Keiko goes to him and gives him the tightest, warmest hug he's ever gotten in his entire life

Julian gets invited to girls nights with Keiko and Molly (steady surgeon's hands make him the best one to paint nails) (he pretends to complain but he loves it)

anytime Julian has to go away for a scientific conference of any kind, if he gets to bring someone with him, his first choice is always Keiko

in short: theyre besties they told me so themselves <3
