thinking about taking care of abby when she gets sick. she strikes me as one of those people who rarely ever get sick, not even a cold, but when she does it hits her hard. i’m talking can barely stand without getting dizzy. she’s so stubborn too, insisting she’s fine, telling you that you need to attend your classes or work, explaining that she’s a big girl, and can handle herself.

after a looong time of insisting that she needs someoen to take care of her, someone to help her move around, she caves, huffing and pouting, trying to pretend she’s not internally thrilled with the idea of you playing nurse all day.

once fed and medicated this woman is all over you, curled into your lap like an overgrown house cat. she’s kissing your hands (she’d make a show out of frowning and shaking her head each time you’d kiss her mouth, reminding you she’ll get you sick), murmuring soft “thank you”s and “don’t know what i’d do without you” as she drifts off into a heavy sleep, snoring and mumbling as she has the craziest fever dreams that she will force you to listen to the second she wakes up, no matter what hour it is, or if you’re sound asleep.

Joel SmallishBeans making an appearance on the TommyInnit channel was about as embarrassing as I'd expected. I feel like my mother just told me she wasn't mad, just disappointed, but if it were in a youtube video.

kinda random thought, but people don’t give mepad enough credit. he’s a smart guy, and while at least initially he was not very emotionally intelligent, his time on ii and being around the contestants has allowed him to learn things on this front

he stands up for toilet because he can see how much mephone’s dejections hurt him. and despite his code of honesty, he lied to mephone about the whereabouts of marshmallow, because he knew that leaving the show is something that marshmallow needed

and now he’s applying these lessons to taco. he recognizes that something is wrong with her, that she needs help but can’t bring herself to seek it, and he wants to be there to help her

he wasn’t getting manipulated there. all throughout the second half of the song we see him refuting the horrible things taco wants him to believe about herself (and she’s not garnering for sympathy points, she earnestly believes the things she says about herself there are true, and that he should despise her as much as she despises herself, but that’s for another post)

he genuinely held all of the power in that situation; he said it himself (well, implied, but still) that taco never actually disabled his ability to teleport on his own, that he could have just ditched her if he so desired. but he didn’t, because he can see that she’s troubled, and he wants to help in whatever way he can

give the guy some credit, won’t ya. he ain’t stupid

something i noticed while rewatching the doomstar requiem:

at the end of "some time ago" when toki is trying to convince the band to let him audition he says "something tells me this was meant to be, do you feel this electricity?", talking about the connection he feels between himself and the band. something's telling him he's supposed to be there, to not to give up on the audition despite already missing it.

then jump forward to when he's rescued, when dethklok fulfills the prophecy and they're all ascending, theyre surrounded by a bunch of LIGHTNING!!!! which is a really cool coincidence when you consider that they're in the same place where toki had his audition, the same place he felt that "electricity" between them all those years ago!!! it's obvious that none of them were aware of the significance that place would hold and its so cool to see it reflected at the end of the episode like that.

in general i love how the prophecy is foreshadowed. little moments throughout the series that you'd think have no real significance until you look back on them and it's like woah that actually meant something!!! maybe this was obvious and im just stupid but.........whatever.........i love metalocalypse

Nations and Medical Treatment

I feel like nations in Hetalia don't have good histories with hospitals. Due to their mysterious functions and inhuman nature, it's difficult to find solutions to their complex medical issues. I have a list of headcanons on how nations are treated medically. tw for medical malpractice.

In the modern day, nations are usually assigned an extensively trained physician. Multiple nations often see the same doctor.

Certain hospitals that are frequented by nations are often equipped with trained staff. Training videos are provided to every hospital.

Anaesthesia was historically administered rather poorly to nation people. They were either given too little, none at all, or way too much based on biases on how nations tolerate pain. The latest publicized incident occurred in 2014, when America underwent an appendectomy without any anaesthesia. This event and the following lawsuit resulted in a bill being passed making it illegal to deny anaesthetic to nations.

Nations often have physical medical conditions confused for symptoms of being a nation, and vice versa. As a result, a nation’s concerns may be blown off as untreatable, while others are overmedicated for something that is caused by domestic events.

Female nations are less likely to receive proper treatment than male nations. The reasons behind this are due to the lack of studying on female nations as well as misogyny.

It’s a common occurrence for nation medicine to not be government approved or tested properly. Very rarely are nation medications actually tested on nations. They are usually run through human trials and then magnified to meet perceived “nation levels”. The largest ever recall for nation medicine was in 2010, when a popular anti-depressant was causing paradoxical side effects.

It’s a common occurrence for hospitals to turn away nations due to the perceived difficulty of treating one.

Many medical textbooks used for training doctors often perpetuate misinformation about proper treatments and dosages, such as the myth that nations have extremely high pain tolerances compared to humans.

Some doctors have expressed contempt for nations requiring medical assistance, believing it to be a “waste of time” due to overestimating their regeneration abilities. Another common belief is that nations are “seeking attention” so they can mimic human experiences.

Due to negative experiences with doctors, many nations have developed hospital-related anxieties and phobias. They often refuse to seek medical attention until it’s life-threatening.

Psychological issues are rarely treated properly. It's common for bosses and government officials to hold off on what they think is unnecessary treatment. Though not all nation psychiatrists are bad, many are only really interested in the paycheck.

Modern/normal life Highschool AUs

Luffy: sophomore failed a class or two so he’s in some freshman classes which is how he became friends with chopper. The cafeteria lady’s worst nightmare. Gets sent to the principals office a lot but normally doesn’t get in that much trouble. Teachers know him because of Ace and Sabo. Freshman year they were like well I hope you’re better than your brothers but then it turned out he was 10 times worse.

Zoro: sophomore. He also gets sent to the principal a lot because he and luffy tend to get into a lot of trouble but nothing extreme ever happens because Mihawk makes big donations and he’ll threaten the school. Like a C average thanks to cheating and Nami’s tutoring. He’s in forever debt to her because of how much she has to help him with school.

Nami: sophomore. First met luffy in zoro because they were helping her get away from trouble after causing said trouble (they all still got detention) always makes jokes about ditching them but she doesn’t have any other friends and she loves them too much (though she’d never admit it.) has no classes with Chopper, luffy, zoro, or Sanji because she’s in all the smart kid classes. She has an art class with usopp though and maybe an ap class with robin. Tried out for a school play and got casted as a random who had like five lines and died before act two (yes this is a reference) popular because she’s friends with luffy and zoro.

Im a hater.. im a hater at heart 😔😔

Reading up on Haddotin Yaoi history. Unfortunately, early depictions of the ship were negative, exploitative, and used for shock value.  Fortunately, these awful depictions of them were lost to time. 

This part of the wiki article I found interesting. So I searched to see if I could find a copy of Tintin in Switzerland, and I happened to find one available in the Internet Archive.

Warning there are very dated and racist depictions within this fanzine along with sexual content. I honestly would not recommend reading it. I just skimmed through a few of the pages and that was enough for me the zine was really bad and weird as fuck. At the end of the zine there is a very crude drawing of Haddock and Tintin where they are shown having sex.

in the zombie apocalypse world theres 3 main "rulers" of the southwest (ish) united states

bingo, in the 4-state area who manufactures bullets through slavery. also sexually traffics people, hes the most morally messed up of the three. he was a doomsday prepper who got lucky when the apocalypse came. nobody really liked him, but hes like the ONLY guy who makes bullets and other needed items (the other two just ignore the slavery and rape because it benefits them)

a man (dogs supervisor... no name) in mid-southern california who was in the military and overtook a bunker with some people. one of the saner leaders. had a young daughter who died like 3 days into the apocalypse. militaristic and strict, believes people can be trained similarly to dogs if you do it right. not too sure about how he is very powerful... probably something with having decent "education" (as decent as it can be at the end of the world)

amanda, in the utah-wyoming border who had a safe commune BUT it also functions as a cult, where she preaches that she will be able to end the apocalypse if she has enough followers who give up their lives (none killed yet... just a later promise). despite being a cult leader, her area is somewhat safe and produces food. its just unnerving because its clear something is wrong even if you dont know

the three dont really like each other but theyre the most powerful. bingo and the man are closer because amanda does not really need bullets (controlling healthy food supply is more impactful than guns, in her mind)

bingos the youngest at 38, amanda at 43, and the man at 51 (story starts 10 years after the outbreak began 🙂‍↕️)

picrews... the only reason for the first one is to show bingos mouth scar (slashed in the face) because no other picrew has it. despite this one not being perfect. second one is WAY more accurate

bingo wears a black hoodie (hood up) with a camo jacket over it. has his mask on 99% of the time, even with the other two.

the man has military clothing on mainly... picrew had nothing

amanda has whatever is easier to farm in OR something to make people feel gravitated towards her

yappjng

am i the only one who literally almost never speaks irl unless when spoken to first due to bullying and people, including my own family "not liking my tone" when i'm not even trying to be rude?? like fine....i guess i won't say anything then....but that pisses people off too...other people are too much for me to understand ig and it hurts. i just want to be normal and have friends that won't judge me..you guys are that for me 🫶🫶and i'd honestly love if some of you happened to live nearby if we could maybe meet and become irl mutuals.

[castlevera]

guys i have a confession to make. i have never gotten into House of Ashes...

it started as "oh ill watch a gameplay soon" but then i started to not want to get into it because a lot of people say "oh HoA is the best, the rest of tdpa sucks comparing the it to hoa." then that evolved to me waiting for it to drop on switch so i can play it myself. but ive lost hope of that happening in time so now i just don't know if i should keep waiting for it to maybe drop on switch or just watch a gameplay

[tapwater118]

// ii2 18 spoilers

something ive been thinking about is how now the ii contestants are free to live their lives and actually interact with the world, and how people in the rest of the ii world have actual people names, would any of them decide to go by new names as they integrate into society?

made a tier list off of this idea. some of these im confident on and others kinda less so. i also have no clue what most of these actual new names would be but whatevs

and before anyone asks, there isn’t an ii tier list with alive box as of this post, i edited the image to have her not be a corpse

actually addendum because i don’t feel like remaking the tier list now that im typing this, switch salt and pepper i made a goof there

ttell meee EVEVERRYTHING!!! ABPUT CHEY AND TAMMY!!! wwhat tropes are they .. slowburn??? she fell first she fell harder?? idiots ij love?????? TELL MEEEEEEEE

so glad someone asked fr </333

okay so!! to start, cheyomi is more of serious person as i mentioned previously. while nadine (my other mc) is a stickler for rules when she’s a kid, chey is even more. while nadine’s insistence of following rules stems more from the fear of getting in trouble, chey just figures rules were decided for a reason so why intentionally break them?

(yap fest ahead :3 )

even as a kid, cheyomi is very responsible, level headed, and more of a no nonsense kind of gal. she tends to prefer quieter environments and her own company. when she first meets tamarack, she’s initially surprised by how loud she is. normally, chey doesn’t make friends with loud, boisterous people but she finds herself not minding it all when it comes to both tama and qiu. she likes qiu because they’re smart and confident like her. she likes tama because although she may be loud, she’s also energetic and fun. she’s also never met anyone who was as eager to be her friend like tamarack. chey develops a crush on tamarack pretty quickly yet she doesn’t quite recognize those feelings until step 2.

i wouldn’t describe their relationship as slowburn however. or at least not as slow burn as i’m planning for qiu and nadine though. they don’t start dating until somewhere between step 2 and 3. both are equally in love with each other by that point and everyone knows it. they can see it. but tamarack kind of convinces herself chey doesn’t return her feelings (SHE DOES PLEASE SHE DOES!!). and chey who is normally straightforward, is nervous to pursue a more romantic relationship.

as i mentioned, chey is a more serious person yet her demeanor softens so much around tamarack it’s crazy.

step 1 chey: wouldn’t sift through dirt to find cool rocks bc she’ll get her hands dirty

step 1 tamarack: “hey let’s look for cool rocks!!!”

step 1 chey: “ok! :)”

as she grows up, chey continues being very goal oriented and reserved yet being around tamarack helps bring her out of her shell more. she loosens up and has a rare mischievous/teasing side only a few get to see.

as for tropes, i would say chey fell both first and harder. this is not to say tamarack loves chey less it’s just that cheyomi is absolutely whipped for tama. it’s even more obvious given the change in demeanor from her normal, calm behavior.

this is chey btw:

she’d make a fool of herself doing anything to make tama happy (not that tama would ever ask her to but yknow offers on the table)

does it count as idiots in love if chey is more of the idiot? so in love it makes her look stupid!!

im going count it bc tama was being oblivious to chey’s feelings at first. that counts as idiots in love. definitely highschool sweethearts as well.

i mentioned in one post earlier that chey absolutely loves birds. she birdwatches and takes pictures of them. she has thought about what kind of bird tamarack would be. she has also drawn said bird in multiple of her school journals.

chey also joins band (or was it orchestra?). she plays the saxophone. (i was never in any music classes in high school so ignore this if saxophones aren’t used)

but regardless, chey learns to play the saxophone (and maybe guitar?? haven’t decided) and even makes a few of her own pieces. she may or may not have written a few song lyrics with tama in mind…..

this is all i have for now since it’s already 2 am where i am </333 i’ll have more thoughts about them later but yeah!! :3

yall oh my god. gary and uppsulka as a dynamic always interested me and i had no idea why until now. uppsulka is a spider and gary, really talpians as a species, at least in the older colorquest days iirc, are based off of pigs. the reason i drifted to them so often when i first got interested in colorquest, is because of charlottes web.

i could totally be reaching here but in my head the dynamic between gary and uppsulka is so interesting because of the connection i subconsciously made to charlottes web in that in a way, at least in one of the older scripts, uppsulka is sort of seen as a guide to gary in a way. he seems like he looks to her for some semblance of guidance even subconsciously (ex. letting her drive hannah's van and blindly following her to an isolated location shortly after meeting the desert weirdos) because hes, for lack of less over the top words, enchanted by her when they meet. a lot like wilbur is with charlotte.

the part where the two dynamics deviate is obviously with the power dynamic between spiders, charlotte is maternal and acts as a nurturer to wilbur while uppsulka takes advantage of gary, she strings him up, gets him alone and attempts to pick him off from the group when its convenient. charlotte in contrast makes herself convenient for wilbur, she doesnt want him to die therefore she uses her control over wilbur to do something in favor of him while uppsulka does it for HER convenience, to endanger gary.
