TO PREFACE. this post is ONLY about the people who openly boast about this and act like they're better than people who do wear masks. the rest of you, drink some water and I love you okay?
I'm so so tired of seeing people SO PROUD of the fact that they refuse to wear a mask. it is such a small, small inconvenience to you but its so important to you that you prolong the pandemic and cause more suffering and death. when you parade your ignorance around I want you to remember this number:
6,910,810
thats the number of deaths from covid-19. that's the total number of people who have died because of the virus as of August 29 2023. it's repulsive how you don't even stop to think about the elderly, those with autoimmune diseases, the already sick or disabled who have such a high chance of dying if they are exposed to even one person with the virus. My dad is now disabled from long covid. he hasn't been able to ride his bike, his favourite activity in the world, for over half a year. and he's one of the least affected by the virus. My friend (no longer around) with an autoimmune disease could not travel for three years because aeroplanes were such a high risk zone for her because people weren't wearing masks in such close proximity.
please I am begging you. inconvenience yourself. people are dying.
I know the death toll is dwindling and thats fantastic but it's not over yet.

(TW: Disease, Blood)
It oozed through her veins like blood: thick and sticky and red. It oozed through her veins like that was exactly where it belonged.
But whenever a foe slashed at her skin, opening her flesh like a flower, what came from the wound was not blood.
Though it truly looked like blood, it stank of poison and rot, rot, rot.
Even a single touch would infect you.
But wouldn't you love a taste?
(This is based on the magic of Disease in my upcoming series, 49!)

I’m gonna need you guys to tag rabies tbh
I’ll put it up on my pinned. It’s a huge form of paranoia for me. My mind is constantly telling me that I have it and that I’m going to die, so it stresses me out a lot.

Personal/Itachi Deconstruction 3
(TW mention of blood, disease, graphic symptoms, suicide; Read to the End for X Reader Mini Rant/Insert)
As someone who suffers from cystic fibrosis it's how I relate to Itachi so closely, because he had a distinct lung/throat(?) disease that was unnamed but widely scrutinized by fans.
Some have speculated that he could have died of a broken heart, because to kill upwards of 500+ clansmen had to have had a devastating effect. I think that dying of a broken heart could have definitely affected his sickness, as cancer patients are always told to be surrounded with family, friends, "positive energy" and that emotionally does make a difference. It is possible to die from a broken heart.
Yet.
Itachi wanted to die, and if Sasuke hadn't been born the only thing left to do for Itachi would be to kill himself after the massacre. Did Itachi suffer from said unnamed disease before the massacre? From all the discourse I've read on it it is credible as a long term illness, it may even have been an autoimmune disease. I wonder if any other Uchiha also suffered from this unnamed disease? There was a certain degree of incest happening to keep the clan running and the clan secrets from being exposed and incest does result in a myriad of genetic disorders.
First of all what is Cystic Fibrosis? Here is a general description:
An inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system.
Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. It causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They then plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways.
Symptoms vary and can include cough, repeated lung infections, inability to gain weight, and fatty stools.
Treatments may ease symptoms and reduce complications.
Did Itachi have CF? Very VERY possible. CF can show up later in life. The symptoms of CF are basically:
Pain in the abdomen, pain/burning in the chest, chronic cough with phlegm/blood, gastrointestinal symptoms that I won't get into, pulmonary hypertension, shortness of breath, sinusitis, or wheezing, developmental: delayed development, delayed puberty, or slow growth (not an issue with Itachi or with me), Whole body: fatigue or inability to exercise, acute bronchitis, deformity of nails, infection, male infertility, nasal polyps, pneumonia, salty sweat, or weight loss.
Many CF patients travel with oxygen tanks, sleep with oxygen masks, and need extra oxygen when they exercise or exert their breath in any way. Meaning we lug around portable oxygen tanks everywhere we go. Without which it would be difficult to move around, and eventually, live.
Eventually the lungs collapse in some patients. (I've had a lung transfer and am now living off the generosity of a stranger's lungs. It's a long story if anyone is interested to hear it in regards to Itachi lmk). I highlighted in purple the possible symptoms Itachi may have suffered from based on the indications of his scenes in the anime.
We know from overuse of his MS he was going blind but there are possible CF indications that have to do with eyesight.
"One of the more common eye problems resulting from cystic fibrosis as a condition is Xeropthalmia. Xeropthalmia involves a hardening of the mucus in the tear duct and around the eye. It is caused by a Vitamin A deficiency and can result in both vision impairment and ongoing personal discomfort."
We know he was going blind from overuse of his MS but I thought it was interesting as a CF symptom too.
Another interesting aspect of Itachi is his sweet tooth. He has a sugar obsession and it could be because if he had CF, his insulin levels would be lower than normal, because:
Most people with cystic fibrosis also have digestive problems. Some affected babies have meconium ileus, a blockage of the intestine that occurs shortly after birth. Other digestive problems result from a buildup of thick, sticky mucus in the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ that produces insulin (a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels). It also makes enzymes that help digest food. In people with cystic fibrosis, mucus often damages the pancreas, impairing its ability to produce insulin and digestive enzymes. In adolescence or adulthood, a shortage of insulin can cause a form of diabetes known as cystic fibrosis-related diabetes mellitus.
Itachi might crave sugar more, without realizing he even has CF or what his diet should be. But I don't headcanon that Itachi eats an abundance of sweets, I think he allows himself to indulge sparingly, I doubt he even went to any doctors for a diagnoses.
(I don't have this issue (yet) so I'm not highly qualified to speak on it, I'm only giving a possible insight.)
Itachi at the climax of his sickness was powerful enough to overcome Sasuke, and Sasuke still hadn't managed to kill him, on his own (whether you agree or not this is not the main focus of this post so please leave those comments out). But it was the last spark before he snuffed it. Would he have lived if he also had a lung transfer? I think about that a lot. I like to headcanon that he had CF, but his lungs were incapacitated and organ donation is a thing in the metaverse, and Sasuke found an organ harvest method, maybe through the help of Kabuto and Oro. He was able to save Itachi and Itachi lives another 10, 15 or 20 years. In a remote monastery, so he can heal.
Hey if Oro can swap bodies a lung transfer shouldn't be a big deal.
Itachi could have gotten treatment, if it was possible. Pein sama would prefer him to be healthy. I don't think Itachi would allow himself to be treated. He would prefer to die slowly, extending his life only as long as it took for Sasuke to confront him. I know he was taking various pills to sustain his health in the interim, but I know what CF is and meds alone are not viable to live. My hunch is he acquired meds through various contacts and Akatsuki allies. But I don't think news of his disease was common knowledge. It is probable that Pein knew. Kisame obviously knew. But battling CF requires constant doctor visits, sweat tests, blood tests, x rays ct scans mris, including genetic testing. Rigorous rounds of meds are a must, and Itachi was not visiting any doctors. Eating is a whole other issue. I have to take 20 specifics meds a day to stay alive after a lung transfer. I can't eat a scrap of food without taking acid reducing meds. Every time I try a new med there's side effects involved which are a hit or miss. Itachi was not afforded this luxury. I can only speculate his lungs failed as it happens with most CF patients, and he let the slow progress to his death finally collapse his drained body and he let go. CF patients have a very limited life span, even after a lung transfer, but it's also clear Itachi would be dead set against borrowing anyone's lungs for even 10 more years. His only remaining goal was to die.
For the x Reader stans: I don't know which one of you knows anyone with CF but there is a lot of coughing and choking and hacking out phlegm involved. Let's say any one of you Itachi girlies were "married" to him.. Canonically, you must accept that Itachi has a serious disease. There is no "CURE" for Cystic Fibrosis. You are stuck with a man who is going to need constant supervision, you have to be vigilant about his doctor visits and meds, you're going to have to possibly deal with him wearing an oxygen mask while he's making sweet sexy love to you. A LOT can go wrong with a patient who has CF and sex. (Though CF patients and birth control may be a non issue...) Frequent hospital stays is a given. I spent most of my life in a hospital and almost all my life trudging around an oxygen tank. There is not a lot of room for sexy times huh? You may start to wonder why you're with him. You HAVE to put his needs ahead of your own, if you're the healthy one.
And btw, if I read ANYWHERE. ANY X READER GARBAGE OF WRITING YOURSELF AS A CHARACTER WHO HAPPENS TO BE SICK WITH A TERMINAL ILLNESS WHEN YOU ARE PHYSICALLY FINE. I am coming for you. DO NOT pretend to be dying when you're not that is FUCKED UP. No you know what, anyone who does that deserves to die from said terminal illness and I hope you do.
He has an expiration date much sooner than you. You're going to struggle with walking up steep distances and running or exercising is difficult. Kids are absolutely out of the question so don't entertain a breeding kink. Itachi's lungs may become too clogged to work anymore, and he will need a fresh new healthy one or a pair, even less feasible in the ninja world. The only thing left to do is wait. Wait for new lungs or die prematurely. Let's say you hear the good news. Now what.. A constant routine of a bevy of new drugs. Why? Because for lung transplant patient there is always the risk of the lungs being rejected at any given time. The drugs force the lungs to adjust to this new alien body. So now you're given a new lease on life. For another 10, 15 years. You have precious little time.
I mean I read so many X reader excerpts that ignore his disease and paint a pretty steamy picture of being married to Itachi but very few of them are canonically correct or honest. How badly do you want to be with Itachi that you neglect his core SL? CF or not your x reader stories seem to reflect that you would rather HC yourself with Itachi as a shining trophy husband, head of the Uchiha clan, with 10 kids and you as his trophy wife. That is NOT Itachi. That was never Itachi.
Even if Itachi was born w/o a terminal disease, the massacre would still proceed, and he would still have to face Sasuke, and he would still have to die at his hands. Simps don't want to HC a dying soldier. I wish more fics were canon based and centered around the truth.
Additional comments from my friend:
Or maybe it was a by-product of being a prodigy, the "Gods" give with one hand and take with another. Maybe the Uchiha, with their S/MS/EMS and their clan secrets and their incest and their power finally met their downfall in Itachi, he had the genius and yet it was too much power for one soul to contain. There had to be a drawback, a balance of dynamics. Using his MS made it worse, so I'm inclined to think Itachi had a genetic disorder, and CF does fall into that area. Sasuke didn't fall prey to any illness but he doesn't have super healing either. Neither Sas or Itachi have super healing but Itachi was either a) too quick/skilled to be injured severely or b) didn't fight and let Kisame fight his battles now and then. IF Itachi did get injured (he fought with various Akatsuki members and not one of them were able to scratch him, same for Orochimaru), he most likely healed even slower than Sasuke does. Ficlets would be appreciated of this type of situation please. Who can overpower Itachi enough to put him to bedrest or send him packing to a med-nin?

"Doctor McCoy," she was trying to keep the panic from her voice, but it still raised at least a half-octave. "Doctor McCoy!" Fox was backing up, fingers reaching for the switch that would quarantine the area that held the patient--or what was left of the patient. "Bones!" She hardly ever called him that, wanting to forever remain professional, but the situation warranted it.
Lights flickered, an alarm sounded. From behind glass, the quarantined subject slumped off the bed to the floor where it began to crawl toward her. Flesh replaced with what looked like some sort of fungus. As if a small ecosystem had suddenly developed within the short hours he had been back on their ship, complaining of a headache.

I think wyll can't cook. Hes like im an expert on the grill. But hes twenty four/five and has lived either in a mansion getting all his fancy meals cooked for him OR on the road and in literal hell. I know wyll burns that thing nine times out of ten and says it adds flavor. Its rustic. It's charming. U know it's not raw, so it's safe. U want salmonella go get gale to cook for you. This is perfectly crispy. It would taste better if you didn't get the meat and cheese from a barrel u found with moldy carrots in it. Maybe u should try actually buying from a reputable vendor instead of picking up ur produce in a cave filled with murderers. Drink more ale/wine. Makes it taste better. Pairs beautifully.
He bites into the food, which he is used to, bc he has had to cook for himself for eight years now. And he's like. Oh no. I want gales food. (And conversely, he's thinking about how much he loves being a part of a band of heroes instead of being solo. As other people bring skills to the table. Do u see what I did there)

“That is the unfortunate part about all of this. Even if I could work on new strains there would be no way to conduct tests or record reliable results. Everything resets here.
If it didn’t then The Fog would be overrun with Uroboros and the T viral strain.”

Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
She kissed her scars.
She kissed every scar in reach: those that speckled her hands, her arms, her legs. She kissed them all, one by one.
The marks left by the blades of enemies. The marks left by stumbles and falls.
The marks left by pure, delicious disease.
Every part of her was scarred. And she could not help but adore every scar that her goddess of Disease left behind.
(This is based on the magic of Disease in my upcoming series, 49!)
