Ahhh, that means you read one of my Hastur/Ligur pieces in my CoT series, or possibly one of my collabs with @whatever-you-can-give-me where we focused on Hastur/Ligur!
(I do know what I did, in all those cases 🤣)
Ok so I'll try post my little diatribe before the fic rec! Goodness posting in a new way does take it out of one (fans self):
It's occurred to me now that my 13 yr old son (aka Alex the Gomens Fledgling) has started reading some fan fiction:
I read a LOT of our fandoms fanfiction and neglect to recommend or comment! Sometimes kudos doesn't cut it when the work is so good it is something you want to share with the son you see growing into his own hyperfixations.
Right now we're going through a lot of the older book based fics (Alex has a... systematic approach to things 😁😆) . I have so many to recommend and I'm probably so late to this particular party. But right just now if I could compliment irisbleufic for not just one fic but pretty much everything. Beautiful, beautiful work. Just astonishing.
Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.
There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.
I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
oh wow! hey if you take pills check this out. new medicine taking meta just dropped.
according to these models, out of the 4 tested postures, the best position to digest pills is laying on your right side. standing upright has a similar time to laying in your back at twice as much as laying on the right side, and laying on the left side is the slowest by far.
laying on right side: pill dissolves in around 10 minutes.
standing: pill dissolves in 23 minutes. laying on the back has a similar time.
laying on left side: pill dissolves in up to 100 minutes.

definitely worth a lot more research.
if you want your medicine to kick in fast, try laying on your right side! if you want your medicine to kick in slower, try laying on your left side.
