Is the bee in s2 finale landing on Zoya's cheek is really giving Sankta Lizabeta vibes, or is it just my imagination?

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

Was anyone going to tell me, that Arobynn means "Fire-heart", or was I supposed to find this out myself?

Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:

Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:

Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?

Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.

Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.

Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?

Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.

It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:

Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?

Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.

When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.

Are archesian amulets and eye of Elena the same thing?

Like, both are said to give some kind of protection to the wearer....

Spoilers below, you have been warned

Also, this is a really long post about fan theories after HOAB

--------

So, we have a crossover

And where that leaves us?

First, Dusk Truth

Guys, we have likely confirmed that Dusk Court has existed and its dissapearance has to do something with the crossing.

Also, its inhabitants peobably had powers connected to starlight as far as we can guess.

Those are only guesses of course, but it sounds to coincidental not to be true.

Secondly, Rhysand's surname

We KNOW, not just suppose that Ruhn Danaan is has some familial ties to Rhysand. We also know, that he is of a royal line, so its given that through the lineage they wanted to keep they surname

You know, dynasty and such things.

But, what can it mean?

Well, its again just a guess, but there might be high chance, that we were given Rhysand's surname literally YEARS ago.

Rhysand Danaan has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

There is also another option we have there, as there is other royal fae family in Valbara.

Talking about Cormac Donnall of course.

But seeing the resemblance between Rhys and Ruhn, its even less probable, I would say

Again, its just a theory, but maybe our dreams really came true this time

What about the Autumn King?

By now, it was as well as confirmed, that valbaran fae have their origin in the world of ACOTAR. We know that Autumn King's powers consists of FIRE.

And he is a REDHEAD.

Sounds like the Autumn Court, don't you think?

Hell, even his name implicates it.

It might get really interesting if his name is revealed, maybe we have already heard of him during ACOTAR.

And we have Danika Fendyr researching shifter origins.

As someone has mentioned before me, Fendyr sounds a hell lot similiar to Fenrys, and he was fae, who could shift into a wolf.

Also, comparing their appearances, Fenrys's golden blond hair with golden brown eyes certiainly could mean that him and Danika, with her silvery blonde hair and caramel eyes, are somewhat related.

Can he somehow be entwined with this?

This sounds the most improbable of all theories in this post, but seems like quite interesting opportunity

And the books!

At the beginning of HOEAB we marveled at the fact, that books in the library in Jesiba's gallery have so similar names to those ones we know from TOG and ACOTAR.

But now we can be almost sure -- they are really THE SAME books, brought to Valbara during the crossing!

Well, as I said, those are only theories and speculations, but let me know what you think about it :D
