Nevermind the shitty print job and the label not sticking right, but this is what I did with the votive candle I bought from Family Dollar four years ago with the intention of making a "saint candle"

I evicted Jesus from his own portrait for this background. Yes my GIMP skills leave something to be desired.

FYI Avery shipping labels don't work well with laser printers, the toner smears right off. I had to laminate the label in order to preserve it, thus the wrinkling.

i actually take it back. no one should read the tolling bells by @edsbacktattoo bc it will make tears inexplicably come out your eyeballs, even tho you're a strong, independent woman who doesn't show emotional vulnerability for normal mentally well reasons, and this will inevitably lead to a headache, and then you will spend the next several hours complaining to anyone who will listen that you have a headache, did you know i have a headache? my head really hurts, you guys

anyway, definitely don't read this, it may irrevocably alter your immortal soul in a way that is potent and yet indescribable with the words available to you in the english language. (idk about other languages, i haven't tried)

also, it might give you a headache. did i mention that part already? just sayin'

bearing with it (for now)

On Lou Tang and pain cw: internalized ableism, symptoms of somatic anxiety, mentions but no overly-graphic descriptions of pain. all of this is unbeta'd and disorganized asf. do not take any of this as proper medical advice, take it with a heaping of salt. i'm just writing this to fight the horrors™

i already mentioned in her intro post that she tends to suffer from tension headaches because of her high twintails

she also gets headaches when she gets really mad but shhh that's for another day

unrelated, but still on the topic of chronic pain: lou also gets really really bad cramps during menstruation (might be bcs she's generally bad at taking care of herself, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and what have you, but also👇)

a lot of her pain tends to stem from the fact that she's going through life unmedicated

girlie had one bad experience with ibuprofen and refuses to take anything out of fear that it'll make her feel worse

so she tends to bank on hot water and grim's bodyheat, or a nap

naps are her biggest saving grace, but ill save that for another post

though, as bad as the pain gets, she doesn't faint. (tho if she did, she'd flomp in the other direction of someone else's attempts to catch her)

the only time she fainted was when grim lobbed a spelldrive disk at her head (tho she did come close to crumpling on the ground in sheer pain in the class hallways because of dysmenorrhea)

but even then, she was more embarrassed it happened in front of oh, yknow, just the whole student body.

(in fact, when she woke up in the infirmary, she took a look at everyone and tried to go back to sleep. "this is all just a bad dream," she tries to delude herself. Which obv u can't do as someone with head trauma so she had to be shaken awake, much to her dismay)

and i just imagine that this "lifestyle" would Piss Off jamil so much. because he's used to having meds on hand and giving first aid

but here's this girl outright refusing help - diD she JUst SlaP hIS hAnd AwaY????

"Lou?" At the sound of her name, the girl's head turned towards Jamil. Her lips pull into a weak smile - which, combined with the pallid color of her face was enough to signal that she was not okay. "Hi! Nice weather we're having, aren't we? It's nice and windy~" "What's wrong?" Judging by the way she has an arm curled protectively around her midsection and how she is heavily leaning against the railing, she was probably - "Nothing!" Her gaze wavers and looks back out to the school field. "Well, looking down at the courtyard makes my hands all clammy, but as long as I keep my feet planted on the ground - " "You're cramping, aren't you?" He cuts off that long-winded drivel before it spirals out of control and starts searching through his pockets. "Can you take pills without water?" "No, no! I'm fine, really!" She waves her hands dismissively, features flushing with shame in spite of her attempts to keep her voice light. Not that it stops him. "There's a water fountain by the second floor stairs. Can you walk?" He pulls out an opened blister pack of over-the-counter painkillers. "I. Told. You! I'm fine." She pushes the offered meds back towards him. At the slight brush of her hand against his, she quickly pulls back. Takes three steps away from him for added measure. "See? The pain's passed. I'm okay now." Somehow, Jamil gets the feeling that Lou was lying through her teeth. But he won't press, the color's returned to her face. Somewhat. "Alright," he relents. When an awkward silence falls over them, her eyes flit from his face, to the floor, then to the wall sconces. Her hands fidget with her fingers. "Anyways, I'll get out of your hair now. Thanks, goodbye." And she walks away. "The infirmary's in the western wing. On the ground floor," he calls out before she could round the corner. (She doesn't turn around, in fact her walking pace speeds up. A loud curse leaving her lips. Jamil can almost envision the way her brow would crinkle in frustration. And a part of him can't stop that strange sense of amusement from welling up at the sight.)

sure, it's cute for the first time. but then this happens every time he offers her help and it stops being pitifully adorbs anuna!! nugagawen mo jamil viper!!

sadly, lou has a lot of internalized shame (and fear) to undo when it comes to asking for help with dealing with pain. (though when she's in Ramshackle or in one of the beds at the school infirmary, she won't bother to hide her misery unless company invites itself over)

maybe it comes from the fact that when she was back in her original world, she viscerally remembers the few times her pain was brushed off as her causing a scene

or maybe it stemmed from how her family has ingrained a strong sense of hypochondria into her (getting into arguments over how to treat her illness - even if it's just a slight fever, and "joking" about what kind of hospital treatments would be done to her, all that fun stuff that relatives like to do /derogatory), that she just gets overwhelmed with the onset of any kinds of symptoms

maybe it's a mix of both.

though, later down the events of the main story, her usual coping and defense mechanisms are gonna be so worn down that she'll take a bowl of soup from jamil (he tells her it's leftovers since it's obv she would reject the food if she found out that it was made for her)

Is it normal for yoga/pilates to cause pain in the lower stomach when peeing? It seems to have gone away now, but the first 24hrs after my first session was very painful.

i'm a wildlife biologist, not a human one, and should not be asked for medical advice because i run a reminders blog for my disabled self akxhsjd;;

my best guess, since i know yoga emphasizes your core, is that you pushed yourself and your muscles too hard for a first session. what are considered "core muscles" are more than just the belly muscles like i had originally thought:

your muscles, specifically perhaps those lower belly ones near the pelvic floor, were not prepped properly for the session and as your muscles did its post-exercise repair (which causes inflammation in me if i pushed myself too far), it will hurt while doing it's normal uses.

i reccomend daily light stretches for your core (like this one that focuses on balance or this one that focuses on prepping core muscles) while being sure to stay well hydrated (electrolytes really do help) & breathing (oxygen in muscles is good) during the sessions.

if the pain persists, especially if it feels like an inflammation in the urinary tract, you prob will want to get that checked by a professional

I know it’s a slight departure from my normal posts but I have to say something. In s6 ep.11 at the very beginning Bobby says that Buck has an allergy to naproxen.

Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory non-steroidal (not a steroid) drug used to treat fevers and pain, it’s similar to other medications such as Ibuprofen.

Meaning canonically Buck cannot have the following: Aleve, Anaprox DS, Mediproxen or anything else that has naproxen in it.

So if you’re writing a fic or something similar and you’re like hmm this character needs to take some sort of pain medication you should probably stick to acetaminophen’s such as Tylenol.

I would stay away from other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) as they can have crossovers (like you’re allergic to some protein or something else in one that might be in the other)- but that’s doesn’t necessarily mean you will be allergic to both. Some people are just allergic to ibuprofen and not naproxen and visa versa.

NSAIDs:

Aspirin

Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)

Naproxen sodium(Aleve)

All in all do what you want, I just find this interesting- especially as a person who has a penicillin allergy with crossovers (meaning I cannot take anything that has similar properties to penicillin whereas other people might be able to)
