#REALLY good in medical settings

[puppyeared]

fuck it. plaguesona

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^ #im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation... #possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

I think my favorite part about the Luna-1 hotdog-style Ambulon incident is the "fuck around and find out moment" of Ratchet taunting Pharma with his insecurities only to be surprised/fearful when Pharma brought in Ambulon and First Aid to be bisected.

Like, aside from the fact that I love Pharma and think he deserves some murder as a treat

It's actually kind of a really good character moment for Ratchet where he super fucked up, like it's extremely rare in the whole of IDW for Ratchet to have made a mistake that bad and it's a fun addition to his character imo. He clearly thought he was in control of the situation and felt some kind of arrogant/clever about thinking he'd successfully manipulated, only for it to turn out "oops you just ended up escalating the situation and putting your friends in danger instead." Arrogance/recklessness aren't something you typically associate with Ratchet so I think the situation is really cool if only bc we got to see an aspect of Ratchet's personality that doesn't really come out otherwise.

Also it means that Ratchet 🤝 Rung -> Making a really stupid decision to provoke/taunt someone emotionally unstable in the middle of a hostage situation and just making it worse

#squiggposting #like ratchet.... my guy...my dude #pharma was wildly emotionally unstable in that moment and you thought it'd be a good idea #to pour salt in the wounds pharma has been harboring for a very long time? #like dude of course pharma decided to escalate the situation into something nasty what did you think you were going to accomplish #like yeah pharma is the murderer and you can't blame ratchet for that #but i don't think i've seen anyone really talk about the fact that ratchet escalated that situation to where amb and FA got involved #setting aside that it was a dick move to pharma i think that was prolly one of the worst things ratchet could've done in terms of safety lo #truly there is no medic on cybertron who is free of bad practices lmao ratch is emergency response shouldn't he know better?

Does anybody know if that Warhammer 40k thing was popular in japan in the late 90s / early 2000s?

Like I admit I allways feel some kind of antipathy when I hear fans of it talk about it out of nowhere, I dont jive with it, so I am too tired to go read some silly lore books just for a hunch.

But just reading some random wiki page after somebody mentioned it in a random video, I suddenly started having one of my famous delusions of seeing connections:

Like the 'God" of the world being stuck in one place after killing his son who fell for madness?

The setting supposedly having "witches" who are described as using their madness-gotten magic powers to cause chaos without care?

The whole struggle between order and chaos thing?

Ancient evil gods whose presence drive people insane and to their side?

Like as I said, I dont care enough to get deep into it but still it feels like there is something there. One or two of these things I could just say "eh its common themes", but all of the listed ones...

So yeah, thats why the initial question - the Lovecraft connection with Ohkubo is an easy one because some Cthulu boardgame was and is popular during that time but with this idunno it could go eiter way🤷‍♂️ (yet on his weird blog he would mention both his obsession with games and the olympics, so if he was one of those "I paint miniatures 🤓" geeks, he must be one of the kind that are self aware enough to hide it😂)

#soul eater #atsushi ohkubo #warhammer 40k #connection #conspiracy #maybe I should start taking other meds besides my heart medication lol #but come on #or maybe this just shows how ignorant I am of common story tropes and set ups with this whole thing just being common in myths and shit #like I think somebody said it was in an arthurian legend #so if that is the easy answet #yeah...sorry #soul eater iceberg #the only reason I didn't just save it for that is cause I really dont want to get into this series lol but if somebody gives a good answer #I can credit you or some shit idk

This would definitely... Bloat some things, but I still want to do it cause then it involves all four clans like it Should, but man I love the idea of each clan having their own "Power of Three" trio. Like a lot. Originally I was going to make them all descendants of the current leaders and spread the litters throughout TNP, Po3, and OotS, but that didn't quite seem right to me. There aren't a ton of descendants for me to work with to this end (especially for Blackstar, who I've decided is Darktail's dad who never has another litter in the clans). Soooo instead, I want all of them to be forbidden kits. Half clan and medic children, baby. So obviously this includes the ThunderClan three, and the other litters I'm considering are Tawnypelt's kittens (moved to be born late in Po3) who would technically be ThunderShadow kits... that or I'm changing who the other parent is. (Here comes TawnyFeather with the steel chair...? They could meet again in Outcast... owo?) and Sedgewhisker and her sisters who are apparently WindRiver kits?? Which I didn't know was a thing til now.

That just leaves the RiverClan three who I'm not totally sure on. My friend Vio suggested Icewing's first litter, which I kinda like cause that includes Beetlewhisker. Makes his fate in the Dark Forest all the more terrifying. But I'm also considering Minnowtail and her siblings (reviving her brother Tumblekit). I do not remember if those guys have confirmed dads but if they do, uhhhhhhhh. Well they aren't their dads anymore. Officially halfclan now.

#to this end i may take a page from bonefalls book and make dove/ivy jayfeathers children instead of whiteash kids #cause like. i LIKE the drama of dove being ash's kid but i also think its interesting to go at the angle of her being jay's kit #for reference: jayfeather is forced to become a medic when leafpool gets demoted. this is VERY controversial in thunderclan #cause even tho jayfeather has a good amount of knowledge (he spent a lot of time in the healers den) he had very rushed training #cause the other leaders rallied and rallied for leafpool to get demoted and threatened attack if she wasn't #(I miiight make it so that bramblestar is leader at this point? so it makes more sense? cause he haaates leafpool. but also i want fire ali #alive so he can be spark and dandelion's dad right before he dies) #but some of the cats are arguing that it's very contrived and that now that holly is gone- they need leafpool more than ever #and dove and ivy are conceived around this time because jayfeather confides in poppyfrost for comfort #and ooooooooo guess who's just like his mama!! this would be the moment where like... ''oh fuck. i get it now.'' #so its super early in his career and the timing is VERY awkward so they gotta make poppyfrost lie about who the dad is #so no ones really aware that theyre jay's kits at first. tho there are rumors. anyways long winded way of saying dovewing is a forbidden ba #so she counts in this!!! yayyyyy #razorverse #also some canon deaths will still occur in oots most likely. their powers may just get shifted to other cats in their clan #usually kits who were born recently. so when flametail dies his power gets transferred to a newborn shadowclan kit #idk tho. not set in stone

#im that but like???? most days now???? #its really really wild what getting on the right medication can do #at least im like 90% sure this is my new med. my baseline is like...... sooooo much happier than it was before #ive only been on it for like... a month? so who knows what this looks like for me long term. but at least for now #wow #bel speaks #i could get really sappy in these notes but im not gonna lol #all i will say is that like. as someone who was super paranoid about being judged for their interests/nerdiness #it is so exhilarating to like. go to work and gush about my 4000 piece batman lego set. and everyone i told was like holy shit thats so cool #and none of these people really care about batman or legos. but i do! #and people think happiness and enthusiasm is exciting. and thell get excited with/for u #and like. holds little me's face in my hands. stop being afraid of people seeing ur excitement #me: im not gonna be sappy in the tags #me immediately after: gets sappy about legos #anyways #buy a cool lego set its good for u #and also find some meds to fix ur brain. really really good combo

hot take but I think that those youtubers who 'expose' alleged mental illness or medical condition fakers are doing more harm for the rhetoric surrounding mental illness-and the people who really have it-than the people supposedly faking it to begin with.

#i mean neither are good but like #what they do is set a precedent of doubt whenever someone makes (mental) illness claims #it sets a precedent of finding and uncovering people who fake it and is just very bad imo. #inevitably i think this makes life ahrder for people who experience these conditions #especially for those who myabe have it but don't check off every symptom #and have to worry about maybe being seen as a faker since they don't have the msot extreme or visible case #idk. just rambling #worth noting this usually goes for things i do not have so i cannot in detail give opinions on specific diagnoses that this trend applies t #to* #however i do stand by this opinion as of right now #at worst. fakers spread misinformation and monetize/benefit from mental illness they do not have #at worst the people who expose this set a societal and online culture revolving around finding out who's REALLY got things #and who REALLY experiences it #which just. is icky. you aren't entitled to knowing anything about anyone's medical history. #plus imo if someone goes out of their way to fake something for attention then. there's probably a mentally ill brain doing it #like ok you don't have whatever you're claiming but like. mentally well people don't fake things like that usually #is this a cold take?????? like if i'm wrong then i AM open to other opinions and i'll change mine #but my initial opinion on this is it icks me out #inabber this is a pointed message. iirc he also made amber heard jokes #which like. i think no matter what side you're on with that #maybe. don't joke about domestic abuse. or alleged abuse if that's your stance on it. #like either way that's just shitty #ANYWAYS.

i go back and forth on rin's elemental nature. i really think fire suits her for thematic parallels to sasuke reasons and also i just think fire is cool and suits her whole. perception of her self and being weird about purpose deal. but water is also cool because i think rin deserves to bloodbend. elaine kind of beat symbolism where she controls other people to try and come to terms with how she can't control herself. the way to resolve this is to take the path of "nature can warp under stress or whatever" and let rin's og nature be fire, so she has that in the entire og timeline and also the team 7 sensei au (good because those are the ones where the sasuke parallels are the Strongest) and then in the akatsuki!rin au the whole almost dying thing somehow leads to her nature changing to water. which works well because that's the au where she is the weirdest about control and also masks. 👍

#i am going to write up the timeline for the rin team 7 sensei au at some point i just need. to work out a few kinks #(the kinks are kakashi. in case you were wondering) #i know EXACTLY how rin would work in that situation lmao it's actually really fun because somehow she gets. better ? mental health? #also sasuke FINALLY gets to be a medic. and rin gets to address her complex feelings towards being pushed into a medic role by the system #its soooo good and also i kill off minato <3 man gets drawn and quartered by iwa and he DESERVES it!!! i lvoe him #anyways kakashi does do the whole tsukuyomi gig but i have no idea why. lmao. im figuring it out #it's not that i can't picture him doing harm. it's that i can't picture him dropping the singleminded loyalty #maaaybe i could get him in on a misguided itatchi type beat? but even that doesn't make sense #because like. hold on stick with me. he's danzo. #yaknow the kind of guy who devotes his soul to the village and will go against pollicy if he thinks its necessary but is still 100% loyal #i will have to write the sakumo danzo kakashi essay sometime. because oh baby. #anyways if you've read this far and don't wanna burn me at the stake for weird danzo opinions feel free to chat me up about kakashi #i am. open to aid on my understanding of him. not dead set on much.

I’ve been on a kick of embroidering and making patches the last couple of days

#my art #patches #embroidery #rottmnt #rottmnt Casey #daycare attendants #fnaf sb #dca fandom #the ram one is the logo I’ve made for myself #and the moon one says my moon and stars cause it’s a lowkey version of my friend’s and my inside joke that the moon is my wife #cause I was gonna say in Latin “the moon; my love’’ basically but uh yeah couldn’t find a good translation #also! all I have left of sophomore year is just my painting critique/finishing my animation/and artist papers #and also actually make my resume #also im twenty now so that’s neat and I’ve gotten an undercut #also I am now one of the execs for an art club so that’s cool #also I have sold earrings and prints and i really like ceramics #plus I am going ahead with setting up the Casey and jr zine #and now I will go wash my face and take my anxiety medication cause otherwise I will forget to sleep

I got to thinking about Piper’s parents and his sister and wanted to maybe try making designs for them in picrew but then I got depressed because at least his parents are like the definition of “every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child”

#they’re like #not abusive #technically #but also he got disowned by them after the events of bw #and was the main source of his pressure to succeed #especially given #the political success and celebrity status and medical achievements #his dad his mom and his sister have #and it’s just!! damn #they didn’t really care about him #they’re the reason good 4 u is in his playlist #again so much of his character is him being set up for failure #his school didn’t care for him nor did his family truly #ignoring how him lashing out at its core comes from his insecurity and jealousy and resentment #it’s no wonder why he ended up lashing out in the first place #at least n Anthea and Concordia and alder and the family he gains after they’re taken in helps them

If I had a nickel for every time I had to watch "I can't believe they're doing this!! This is heinous, who could have seen this coming?! <thing a minority group repeatedly and explicitly said would happen if x other thing went unchallenged>" I could afford to live somewhere with fewer human rights violations

#m/cc #negative #'transition and abortion restrictions I understand but criminalizing transition and overturning Roe v Wade?!' #'and NOW talking about overturning gay marriage?! and interracial marriage??' #woah maybe if you'd listened to the trans people who said heavy transition restrictions were setting a dangerous precedent on #bodily autonomy and LGBTQ rights you could've maybe made a plan for what to do if these things were proposed #this is also specifically about everyone shocked and horrified that medically assisted death is being pushed on people with depression #WE TOLD YOU THIS. WE TOLD YOU EVERY TIME THAT IT WON'T BE USED ALL IN GOOD FAITH #DISABLED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR DECADES. YOU HAVEN'T BEEN LISTENING #THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you ignore disabled people's warnings about eugenics because you're not disabled #EVENTUALLY IT WILL EFFECT YOU #and you will be shocked every time!! #eugenics will not stop at the smaller subgroup you aren't part of. it's the testing ground for tolerance #you think they're really like 'oh trans people are gross but gay people are a-ok' or 'the person who's terminally ill deserves to die (!!) #but certainly not the person with painful cancer treatment #or permanent disability #or chronic illness #or serious long term mental health problems #or intellectual or cognitive disability #those people OBVIOUSLY can find quality of life still. it's ONLY these specific people that should be offered death as a solution' #I'm just exhausted. I feel like my voice is hoarse from screaming about this. conservatives do not see a difference between #killing a future baby via 'sterilizing' HRT or surgery and abortion or birth control #or gay people vs trans people as a risk to children #ableists see 'no possible quality of life' in both constant unbearable physical agony without ease and in treatment resistant depression #no difference between the prototypical Right to Die patient and someone who can absolutely have high quality of life #and with the last one any US people who didn't see this coming have never dealt with the US healthcare system long-term #when I took my medical and healthcare ethics course I was So uncomfortable because it was. so clearly written by someone not a part of it #'hospitals would never WANT someone to use euthanasia.' I can think of five reasons off the top of my head for why they would #politics #current events

I’m dumb as shit and making terrible decisions but BOY am I in a good mood

#Allow me to set the stage: I am out of my anxiety medication and I just chugged a large espresso #The thing about that SSRI is it really subdues my emotions which is honestly a really good thing for me #When I’m peppy and energetic I’m way more peppy and energetic without it but even the happy emotions are so much it makes me uncomfy #Usually when I don’t take it I’m cripplingly anxious and very overstimulated #I happened to start the day in a good mood though so now I’m 🥳🥳🥳🥳 #I can survive of nothing but coffee a single protein bar and vibes #To be clear I didn’t MEAN to not take it I thought I had more but I’m out and I can’t get to the pharmacy #The best way to describe my current state is “wheeeeee” #When I don’t take that med you can 100% tell I’m autsitic lol #You hear that demented giggling and flapping sound? That’s me.

I can see a modern au of the straw hats doing some jackass style shit

#like they start hiring different people to do different things for the show and rope them into doing stupid shit #like sanji was supposed to just be a cook they hire to cater a filming session but they find out hes really good at being set on fire #usopps just a tech guy they bully into doing some of the most dangerous shit and he gets the rep of being down to do anything #zoro almost dies several times but walks it off #and luffy. luffy shoves the most things up his ass. #robin breaks barriers by being the first woman to do some seriously disgusting and dangerous shit #nami will let a bug crawl on her for 5 seconds before screaming and running off #chopper is a medical expert who legally they cannot involve in the actual stunts themselves #frankys a better tech guy they hire after usopp decides he cant do both tech and stunts but then he goes and does the most disgusting shit #brook is the cameraman as hes the only one with a sense of cinematography and flair which suits him fine because of brittle his bones are #vivi thinks theyre hilarious and finances their shit and manages to convince nami to do at least one stunt thats actually a little dangerous

I had an appointment with my psychiatrist today and it went really well! I like this guy, he's nice and seems to be competent. he doesn't make fun of me or dismiss what I say (which seems like a very low bar but after my first experience with a psychiatrist... well.)

it was kind of funny, we talked about the new medication that he prescribed me for when I'm really anxious about something. I explained how many times I took it, and that l first took some to see how they would affect me before I was going to take them for my dentist appointment (I didn't want to be anxious about that too lol). he said he'd never thought to recommend that, and that it's a really good idea 😅 I was a bit worried he wouldn't approve (since I took them for 'no reason' basically), so that was really good to hear lol

#cw medication #cw medical #maybe it's weird that I wanted to try it first but I had to know if I'd lose control/just generally how it would feel #I figured a situation that I'm already very scared of and where I'm surrounded by people would not be the best setting for that #the medication is lorazepam btw. he was very hesitant to prescribe it but I'm glad he did. it really helps and I definitely don't take it #more than I need to #so I feel good about it #it helps SO MUCH #not just in the situation itself but also before. even with my anxiety meds I'd still be very anxious about stuff like dentist appointments #for days. now that's much much better because I know there's something I can do about it #personal

[hua-fei-hua]

last night i had a dream that had something to do with reading a fic abt . well i wanna say "a haunted forest diner" but i've already written a haunted forest diner fic and it was not at all like that. anyway, it was this haunted forest diner fic in the sense that all its patrons were old forest gods of like decay and shit and in order to sneak in, you had to transform into like a deer, and apparently i was a supremely graceful jumper for a stag

but anyway i dreamt that that was a fic that i had apparently read and commented on months ago, but for w/e reason i had never read the replies to, and the author had replied that i seemed like a cool person n that they would have loved to have read some stuff i had written "but it seems you do not have any genshin works up..."

and honest to god all i could think upon reading that was literally "lol skill issue"

#and then i dreamt that i got one of those defeat the 8-12 hilichurl comms in genshin n i was like fine fine w/e #but after killing two i somehow figured out that they were not trying to kill me but instead trying to kidnap me to be their medic #and i was intrigued enough to be like 'okay' n sat down on this white blanket thing they had set aside for me #n one of my friends (don't remember who) was like 'yo you good?' n i was like 'yeah they just want me to be their medic' #n my friend looked at me suspiciously n was like 'well the comm isn't over you have six more to kill but if you need me i'll be over there' #n she pointed to where the trumpets i knew in high school (minus cody? i think?) were having sectionals under some trees #it was definitely trumpet sectionals but for whatever reason my brain decided to edit out cody So fucking True get redacted idiot #anyway so i just waited around in the warm sun untild a bunch of humanoid creatures started coming down the hill #i think they were supposed to be bosses or smth but none of them are in gnshn even tho we were def in mond or liyue by this point #and they all had different colored faces but anyway my friend was like 'THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO DEFEAT ALL THE HILICHURLS!!!' #'BECAUSE IF WE DON'T THEN THEY'RE JUST BUYING TIME FOR *THESE GUYS* TO COME!!!!' #n i was like 'oh shit!!' n we started fighting them n they were really tanky but we got most of them except for the blue one #and so i went back to the haunted diner place n entered it as a human n went upstairs where i found the author in my dreams #n she said that we couldn't talk long bc the blue guy was after me but she'd distract it by joining its side #and also there was like this whole subplot in between abt like uhhh exchanging love for power i think? idk i don't remember rn #i just remember that the author temporarily exchanged some of her like. goodwill or smth to buy me time to prepare for my fight #with the blue guy and so i hiding in the bathroom listened w my ear pressed against the wall as she became corrupted n then it was #my turn to fight the blue guy n i opened up the door n stuff but then i woke up :c #anyway so that was MY dream diary for today everyone leave your own recent dreams in the replies and we can have a discussion lol #花話

so one can get a medical card for autism but not adhd? are you fucking serious?

#the qualifications for a medical marijuana card are ridiculous #it's a very specific list of things #you can get it for autism anxiety and ptsd #but adhd and depression are not on the list? #neither is ocd #or any other mental disability other than autism anxiety and ptsd????? #i feel like it shouldn't be a set list of things it should be whether or not your therapist or doctor feels like you would benefit from it #no matter the reason #well really i think it should just be legal for recreational use #but if youre gonna make it only available for people with a medical card #then it should be available for a larger range of disabilities and conditions not just a select few #sorry all the good points are in the tags i'm kinda frustrated with my state's laws in general at the moment #along with the motherfuckers running for office that don't want abortion to be legal in any circumstance #fuck you doug mastriano #idk why tf i see your name on every lawn in my neighborhood you are a piece of shit that shouldn't be supported #bald oompa loompa looking ass Donald trump simp
