I gotta say that this movie has made me fall in love with the heartbreakingness of Posthumous Narrator as a trope. Because in many stories this kind of protagonist/narrator is featured, it is often used more in a satirical way or some people complain they feel 'cheated' that the narrator is dead. But it really is a difficult and fascinating way to write a story, especially if you continue after the characters have died.

I feel like every dr who ep could be placed on a Cartesian grid with the Y-axis being sillyness-poignantness of the monster and the x-axis being lightheartedness-heartbreakingness of the main character’s arc within the story. For instance, partners in crime— silly/lighthearted. It’s got a bit of weight for Donna because we get all of the background of her family life and its concluding the doctors lone wandering but it’s mostly just a fun episode. Fires of Pompeii? Silly/heartbreaking. The actual monster-of-the-weekend is kind of unimportant and wacky but oh my god. The impact!!! On both the doctor and Donna!!!!
And then I’d plot each episode in a season on a grid and then determine which is the most painful season and which is the most ridiculous. Having just rewatched season 4 tho I think it would win for being so so sad and so so heavy like jeez

(Link in Letter)
Dear jnv11,
Co-Mod: Huh...  How about that?  Sorry for missing that detail.  I blame it on the depth of Ace Attorney’s characters (and the fact that it was Grossberg I was researching).  Thanks for that added detail, too...I guess.
Tumblr media
Dear Anonymous,
Co-Mod: I didn’t see your letter, unfortunately (unless it’s already been answered).  Your actual email address isn’t required, by the way -- you can just use a made-up one if you want.  Don’t ask me to try to explain the ways of Tumblr, ‘cause I can’t.
Tumblr media
Dear Anonymous,
Mod Vera: Hey, I’m still getting used to the specifics of running this blog as a Moderator, and I’ve been a fan for years! No worries, friend.
Co-Mod: Yeah, that’s not an official rule or anything.  Even if it was, it’d be pointless to try to enforce it, so no problem.
Tumblr media
Dear Kyruki,
Co-Mod:
Tumblr media
Do I dare ask what the context for this is?
Mod Vera: Oh, geez! And I thought Pokémon stopped incorporating over-the-top religious symbolism with graveyards shaped like crosses and whatnot. I almost don’t want to ask what the context for this is; it’s sort of amazing on its own as a mystery.
Tumblr media
Dear bluedragoncody,
There’s no real criteria; it’s just whatever gives us those moments of inspiration. If the opportunity presents itself, or if the regular sprites just don’t give us quite the right reaction we’re going for...“Eureka!”
Tumblr media
Dear sinyove,
He’s a little too unpredictable to say for certain, but it’d probably involve a lot of maniacal laughter, then a bitter reflection of how the law was never a sunny, safe place for people like him.
Followed by more maniacal laughter.
Tumblr media
Dear Gumshoe Fan,
Unfortunately, said Magical Mod has moved on to greener screens, but I’m sure they’d appreciate the love! I’m pretty sure all of us here owe our dedication to the blog to their hard work.
The AAA team is filled for now, but as the newest addition, I’ll say my favorite song from the games is “Hotline of Fate” from JFA. It was so good at getting my heart racing in that last case!
Tumblr media
Dear Anonymous,
We did, and the answerer did apologize and explain the confusion. Even the most experienced Mod makes mistakes when they’re not learning all the ins and outs of a new gig.
We also got the replies on all subsequent Edgeworth posts. In the future, if there’s a mistake, just one private message to the Mods and a little patience is all that’s required. We’re only human, after all.
Tumblr media
Dear Anonymous,
I’m a fan of both Simons - Blackquill and Keyes - as well as Lang, Kay, Godot, Athena, Apollo and Edgeworth.
As for ships, I’m going to have to be basic and say Mia/Diego. It was my first real ship, and I still love its heartbreakingness. It’s bittersweet...like dark coffee with just a hint of sugar.
-The Mods

He saw a man come toward the Lightwoods and blinked his watering eyes. He was a young man, handsome, with curling brown hair and a square jaw. He wasn’t wearing white, like the others, but plain black gear.
As he passed Maryse he stopped and laid a hand on her shoulder. She didn’t turn or seem to notice. Neither did anyone else. Magnus glanced over quickly, frowning, but looked away again; Kit realized with a coldness in his chest that he was the only one who actually could see the young man— and that the smoke seemed to flow through the stranger, as if he were made of air.
A ghost, he thought. Like Jessamine. He looked around wildly: Surely there would be more ghosts here, in the Imperishable Fields, their dead feet leaving no traces on the grass? [...]
The young man with the dark hair had moved to kneel beside Robert Lightwood’s pyre. He was closer to the flames than any human could have gotten, and they seemed to eddy within the outline of his body, lighting eyes with fiery tears.
Parabatai, Kit thought suddenly. In the slump of the young man’s shoulders, in his outstretched hands, in the longing stamped on his face, he saw Emma and Julian, he saw Alec as he spoke about Jace; he knew he was looking at the ghost of Robert Lightwood’s parabatai. He didn’t know how he knew it, but he did.
A cruel sort of bond, he thought, that made one person out of two people, and left such devastation when half was gone.
|Queen of Air and Darkness, p. 66
Parabatai. A bond that makes one person out of two people. Unbreakable. Eternal. Sublime in its heartbreakingness.

Hi i'm looking for a fic, maybe you can help me. I remember Jon and Sansa developing a Bond similar to the one the Starks have with their direwolves and sort of hearing eachother in their heads. It also had a heartbreakinge scene where Jon returnes from the war against the dead completely withdrawn after having lost Ghost and Sansa gives him a bath to slowly get him to speak to her. I also think they were married for a very short time before he had to go to war. Thank you so much!
Haven’t read it myself, but maybe someone knows it?

Little things from a Smalltown USA High School Production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’:
Yente comes over to Golde’s house and stuffs things in her purse
Tevye’s main prop is a cart he pulls back and fourth on stage. 
During “If I were a rich man” when he talks about the stairs in his dream house, Tevye climbs up on the cart...and he takes two steps forward to push it down and climbs off.
The Fiddler comes back on the roof during “Sabbath Prayer.” Shouldn’t he be staying somewhere for the Sabbath? Isn’t he Jewish too? No, he’s the Fiddler, the rules don’t apply to him
Tevye when the heck are you gonna give the man the Rabbi’s order?
Golde nails the stubborn practicality perfectly
Motel’s voice reminds one of Adam from Studio C
“Golde...What am I going to tell Golde? *falls down on knees* HELP ME!”
The vertical bed for the dream scene
FRUMAH-SARAH WAS LEGITIMATELY SCARY I JUMPED
Motel getting his wedding hat :D
Not all of the “boys/men” in the background cast are played by actual boys, they must have had problems getting enough male extras but it’s interesting to see in a conservative town like this
But that explains the lack of beards in the supporting cast
They did do the bottle dance. Not all of the bottles stayed on all the heads but they pulled it off and it was dang impressive.
The Russian who sings the solo in “To Life” was definitely not a dude
The Fiddler is present during “To Life”
Inebriated Tevye confronts Inebriated Russian, the Fiddler plays confrontational music to set the tone
realizing that “To Life” is a dance-off
“Rabbai, is there a blessing for a sewing machine?” “There is a proper blessing for everything: *intones* May you get rich with every stitch.”
Did I mention that the Fiddler is played by my baby brother?
“Tzietel, don’t forget the baby.” Tzietel’s face is priceless!
Yente dropped one of her shawls when she came to say goodbye to Golde. Tevye just casually stuffed it in the cart. Yente walked off with the lid to one of their pots so they’re even.
When the stage backdrop is covered with a blank sheet and lighted red, you know what’s about to go down
The legitimate heartbreakingness of the Chava song and Tevye rejecting her, as portrayed by high schoolers
After the end of the show, the Fiddler goes back to his roof to serenade the audience as he leaves, giving his proud big sister enough time to go get a photo (which she can’t actually take herself because she has shaky hands)

September 02, 2020 1 Comment
Tumblr media
Earlier this summer, we got a heartbreakinge-mail from a DJANGO Dog Blog visitor(transcript listed below). Jeanette’s dog, Sam, had regretfullysimply passed away from tetanus, a terrible yet rare disease. Jeanette reached out to us to share her dog’s stressful experience with tetanus as well as asked that we spread out recognition as well as share important information concerning the illness. In doing so, perhaps we could aid stop another pet dog’s fatality from tetanus in the future.
If I am being 100% straightforward, I (Steph) did not understand anything regarding tetanus in canines before Jeanette reached out. Sure, I had heard of tetanus in people and also received tetanus vaccinations throughout my life … but dogs? I never understood pets could be at risk to this condition. After some initial research, I recognized exactly how vital it is for us canine owners to be aware of tetanus in canines, the disease’s symptoms, as well as exactly how our four-legged pals can get the condition.
Because obtaining Jeanette’s heart-wrenching e-mail, I’ve done considerable research study on tetanus in canines.

This neurotoxin binds to the pet’s nerves, eventually migrating to the brain as well as spinal cord. When this happens, natural chemicals that manage movement, touch, pressure, pain, as well as temperature level (glycine and GABA) can not be released. This results in convulsions of other signs and symptoms and volunteer muscle mass (more on symptoms listed below).
There are 2 kinds of tetanus:
Localized tetanus is one of the most typical type of tetanus and also has a 90 percent survival price. A dog with local tetanus might have muscle mass stiffness or tremors in the arm or leg closest to his injury. In many cases, local tetanus can become generalized tetanus.
Generalized tetanus occurs when tetanus spreads throughout the pet’s body. Generalized tetanus triggers the pet to shed his capacity to blink. The dog’s temple ends up being deeply old and wrinkly and also they ears become pulled back. His eyes protrude, as well as his lips curl back right into a ‘sinister smile’ called risus sardonicus. In more advanced stages of generalised tetanus, an affected dog may end up being so sensitive to appear that any loud sound such as hand clapping can trigger convulsions or seizures. The pet dog might not have the ability to bend his legs, causing what is called a ‘sawhorse stance’. The canine additionally might not be able to totally open up or close his mouth, and also his heart rate may drop listed below 60 beats per min.

Sam’s Story
May 29, 2020
“Our pet just passed away from tetanus. I’m reaching out to you to ensure that our tale can bring awareness to this “unusual” condition that seems to impact a fair bit of pet dogs every year. We initially saw our pet Sam’s face was actually weird. It appeared like she was secured a smile (we later on found out the name was “the ominous smile”) however very uneasy. Upon taking her to a vet they diagnosed her as dehydrated and also prescribed prescription antibiotics, lots of water, as well as rest. However later that day her signs appeared to be worsening as well as she appeared to be extremely out of it. We made a decision that she was acting in a not typical and also really alarming means so we took her to a 24 human resources healthcare facility, California veterinary experts. From there we obtained the news that our pet dog had contracted tetanus, a terrible however extremely unusual condition. Simply like any kind of other millennial couple my partner and also I started our google research study to attempt and also discover as much information on this disease as feasible. However there was little to no valuable info on recouping from tetanus and also a lot of truly sad pictures of dogs that appeared like they were experiencing. 2 days later our canines signs and symptoms got so poor that she was incapable to open her mouth (referred to as tetanus) and was having a really hard time trying to find a good setting so her air passages opened to take a breath. The dr in that hospital recommended her staying in the hospital for 2-3 weeks, but perhaps over a month, in intensive care in order for them to try and also save her. Yet even then the survival rate they provided us was 30%. We did not have the money to spend for a months remain at a medical facility for a 30% possibility survival. We can’ve taken her home yet without the proper devices and understanding to take care of her it was very likely that she would certainly stifle because of the illness and also die at home. Our pup was enduring as well as we made the very tough as well as heartbreaking decision to claim good bye to her. I want to try to connect to as several animal blogs as I possibly can to spread out recognition and possibly encourage some young veterinarians around to push for some kind of vaccine for tetanus in canines. Or a minimum of for anyone to do even more research study for pet dog owners like us to make sure that we can maintain our pups risk-free.”

Tetanus in Dogs: Overview as well as Causes, Symptoms, and also Treatment Options
September 02, 2020 1 Comment
Tumblr media
Earlier this summer, we got a heartbreakinge-mail from a DJANGO Dog Blog visitor(transcript listed below). Jeanette’s dog, Sam, had regretfullysimply passed away from tetanus, a terrible yet rare disease. Jeanette reached out to us to share her dog’s stressful experience with tetanus as well as asked that we spread out recognition as well as share important information concerning the illness. In doing so, perhaps we could aid stop another pet dog’s fatality from tetanus in the future.
If I am being 100% straightforward, I (Steph) did not understand anything regarding tetanus in canines before Jeanette reached out. Sure, I had heard of tetanus in people and also received tetanus vaccinations throughout my life … but dogs? I never understood pets could be at risk to this condition. After some initial research, I recognized exactly how vital it is for us canine owners to be aware of tetanus in canines, the disease’s symptoms, as well as exactly how our four-legged pals can get the condition.
Because obtaining Jeanette’s heart-wrenching e-mail, I’ve done considerable research study on tetanus in canines. I additionally spoke in detail with Dr. Shadi Ireifej, the Chief of Medicine at Veterinarian Triage, who aided me additionally recognize risk aspects and therapy alternatives for this condition.
Below is whatever you require to find out about tetanus in pet dogs: the causes and symptoms of the illness, threat aspects, treatment options as well as prices, negative effects, and also tips for avoidance.
REVIEW AND CAUSES OF TETANUS IN DOGS
Tetanus is brought on by bacteria called Clostridium tetani (C. tetani). Clostridium tetani are primarily found in dust, dirt, and also feces.
When C. tetani microorganisms spores enter a pet’s body through a deep injury or open aching, they multiply. As the C. tetani microorganisms die, they create a neurotoxin called tetanospasmin. This neurotoxin binds to the pet’s nerves, eventually migrating to the brain as well as spinal cord. When this happens, natural chemicals that manage movement, touch, pressure, pain, as well as temperature level (glycine and GABA) can not be released. This results in convulsions of other signs and symptoms and volunteer muscle mass (more on symptoms listed below).
There are 2 kinds of tetanus:
Localized tetanus is one of the most typical type of tetanus and also has a 90 percent survival price. A dog with local tetanus might have muscle mass stiffness or tremors in the arm or leg closest to his injury. In many cases, local tetanus can become generalized tetanus.
Generalized tetanus occurs when tetanus spreads throughout the pet’s body. Generalized tetanus triggers the pet to shed his capacity to blink. The dog’s temple ends up being deeply old and wrinkly and also they ears become pulled back. His eyes protrude, as well as his lips curl back right into a ‘sinister smile’ called risus sardonicus. In more advanced stages of generalised tetanus, an affected dog may end up being so sensitive to appear that any loud sound such as hand clapping can trigger convulsions or seizures. The pet dog might not have the ability to bend his legs, causing what is called a ‘sawhorse stance’. The canine additionally might not be able to totally open up or close his mouth, and also his heart rate may drop listed below 60 beats per min. The survival rate for generalised tetanus in pet dogs is 50 percent.
SYMPTOMS OF TETANUS IN DOGS
Symptoms as well as indicators of tetanus in pet dogs can show up anywhere from three days to 3 weeks after the canine is wounded and subjected to C. tetani germs. Signs can be extreme or mild and also consist of:
Fever
Bowel irregularity
Drooling
Old and wrinkly forehead
Erect ears
Sunken eyes
Unable to blink
Clenched jaw (tetanus)
Smiling appearance (risus sardonicus)
Stiff and extended tail
Unbendable legs as well as an arched back (sawhorse stance)
Trouble consuming or drinking
Muscular tissue spasms set off by light, touch, or noise
Paralysis
Seizures
Difficulty breathing
“I think my pet dog is revealing symptoms of tetanus. What should I do?”
If your pet dog is exhibiting any kind of signs of tetanus, please see your veterinarian asap. Dr. Shadi Ireifej emphasized that canines that can not move or take a breath ought to be instantly rushed to the nearby emergency vet facility.
IS TETANUS COMMON IN DOGS?
Tetanus is luckily uncommon in pets.
Dr. Shadi Ireifej has actually operated in veterinary medicine for 14 years. He saw one instance of canine tetanus at Cornell University in 2004. According to The Canadian Veterinary Journal, equines, humans, as well as sheep are 600 times more susceptible to tetanus than dogs. Birds and felines are 10 times much more resistant to tetanus than dogs.
Some pet dogs are much more at risk of tetanus than various other canines. Larger dog types that reside on ranches or in the nation have a higher risk of contracting the illness. Canines that have accessibility to manure or are close proximity to dead animals are additionally far more in danger of tetanus.
Dogs that spend comprehensive time outdoors can obtain tetanus from foxtails, or yard seed awns. If not discovered swiftly, these can tunnel right into your canine’s vital body organs and also blood vessels. According to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, 27 percent of canine tetanus situations are brought on by foxtail burrs.
Newborn puppies can get tetanus via their umbilical stumps. Canines under 2 years old are likewise at greater danger of tetanus because they are extra likely to put dangerous, infected things in their mouth (unclean sticks, corroded nails, glass, etc).
HOW IS CANINE TETANUS DIAGNOSED?
There is no easy diagnostic test for tetanus. Blood tests aren’t exact since C. tetani does not live long airborne. A tetanus diagnosis is normally made based upon your pet’s appearance and the history of his injury. If you did not discover your canine’s wound 10 to 14 days back, your vet might get an urinalysis, electrocardiogram, and also chest X-rays.
THERAPY OPTIONS FOR TETANUS IN DOGS
Antibiotics. Penicillin and also Metronidazole are antibiotics made use of to deal with tetanus in dogs. They’ve no result on the neurotoxin yet can stop C. tetani from spreading.
Stablizing. Intravenous (IV) fluids are used to halt dehydration while oxygen is used to prevent respiratory failing. If your pet dog’s throat and also diaphragm are paralyzed, he requires an endotracheal tube or a mechanical ventilator.
Debridement. Dead cells is gotten rid of from around your pet dog’s wound to lower tetanus germs. It’s cleaned with light soap as well as water or iodine.
Sedation. Acepromazine and chlorpromazine are suggested to regulate your pet’s sensitivity to sound, light, or touch. He may also be infused with midazolam, phenobarbital, or diazepam to manage muscular tissue stiffness.
Equine antiserum. A debatable treatment, equine antibiotic may be an alternative if tetanus is caught early. Made from the blood of steeds, it can be provided by IV or infused under the skin or right into the muscle. It can use up to three days to destroy the tetanus toxin. Skin examinations are advised due to the fact that equine antivenin can trigger possibly life-threatening allergies.
Nursing treatment. Your dog might require around-the-clock treatment in a peaceful and also dark room for 7 to 30 days. He requires soft bed linens, constant rotation to prevent bedsores, hand feeding or feeding by a G-tube, and also assist expressing his bladder.
Just How Much DOES IT COST TO TREAT TETANUS?
Tetanus therapies can cost anywhere from $15 to $20,000. The price of treating tetanus in pets will depend on the severity of the situation and also needed treatment. Light situations of canine tetanus that only require a vet go to, wound cleaning, and anti-biotics might set you back approximately $200. Serious cases of tetanus requiring lasting sedation, stablizing, and round-the-clock nursing care can set you back well into the thousands.
Right here is a checklist of approximate prices for common tetanus treatments. Please bear in mind that costs can vary extensively based on your place as well as veterinary center (we reside in NYC so everything expenses more right here):
Antibiotics like Penicillin (take by mouth) – $15
Injectable Penicillin – $250

Your pet may shiver, run, or gripe in his rest. While anti-epileptic medications will not assist, signs and symptoms ought to not get worse with time. RBD might solve after numerous months.
HOW TO PREVENT TETANUS IN DOGS
Because tetanus is fairly unusual in dogs, there is no vaccination presently offered for canines like there is for human beings.
If your pet dog has a wound without symptoms, Dr. Ireifej suggests immediately cleansing it with mild soap and also water, iodine, or thin down peroxide to rid the website of germs as well as protect against infection. Dr. Ireifej also recommends using Neosporin to your pet dog’s cleansed injury as well as bandaging it to stop the intro of extra microorganisms.

year end fic review meme
it is now 2k18 so that means fic review time!! 
Total number of completed stories: for the sake of accuracy, i had finished ~5 stories (including an askbox fic), 2 pieces of meta, and 2 podfics
Total word count: ~6k of fic,  ~10k of meta Fandoms written in: natsume yuujinchou, your lie in april, persona 5 meta
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? less of course, but this year feels like a super-speeding train that just bowled me over with RL obligations and it seemed pretty brutal this year; thinking back i also had a sudden uptick of social happenings to attend, which may account for some of the drop in wordcount; im honestly a bit shocked that my yuletide fic got finished on time at all~
What’s your own favorite story of the year? actually my yuletide fic might be my favorite this year??? i think there were some huge chunks of it that i had deleted upon revision and there was a different idea and direction i wanted to take it in but then it just ended up as an over-elaborate relationship metaphor at the end..the hard thing i think about writing for 1 particular fandom for a long time is that you worry if your newest fics just ended up as a rehash of one of your previous themes/plot ideas
Did you take any writing risks this year? finishing writing...at all hahahahaha Do you have any fanfic or ofic goals for the New Year? write more???? maybe read a few writing-specific books on characterization and moving plot lines along, because i def need to work on those if i do get into original fic writing
My best story of this year: i love all my children equally~
My most popular story of this year: going off kudos, orthography seems to have done pretty well Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: i’m pretty hungry for validation always but i don’t think any story of mine was especially underappreciated at all
Most fun story to write: some of the askbox fics were fun!! especially the heartbreakingness of the asw prompts Story with the single sexiest moment: i fully blame @akitania and @defeateddetectives for renovating the bar and adding a horrible exorcists mini kinkmeme when i wasn’t looking!!!
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: idk tho...i loved spending time doing the exorcists-centric rewatch and i think i had forgotten for a little bit how much of a jerk natori could be??? i had written fics for these two for a while but i don’t think my perception of them had shifted as much as it was struggling to keep a balance between the traits of their older canon selves and their horrible bratty teen selves Hardest story to write: time is cruel and inevitable everything felt difficult to write Biggest Disappointment: somedayyy i will write something over 5k Biggest Surprise: not related to fic writing in the least but im still screaming that there is a new natsume chapter where the exorcists wear MATCHING PAPER BAGS ANDD GET LOCKED IN A ROOM? TOGETHER????  will we ever see this animated in glorious color????

vardasvapors replied to your post: two blogs, part 8
god i love all these characters so much and also hard same on 1) frodo’s heartbreakingness esp the boromir thing, ‘you are not safe and never will be’ aahhhggg, and 2) faramir talking about gondor and gondor feeling like it’s dying?? i thought i was the only one who got that vibe off these parts. i think this is one of the reasons i find it so hard to think about gondor except in terms of it changing hugely post-war….
Frodo!!!
Also Faramir feeling like Gondor is dying is actually completely textual! Here, I’ll pull a quote out for you.
'What hope have we?' said Faramir. 'It is long since we had any hope. The sword of Elendil, if it returns indeed, may rekindle it, but I do not think that it will do more than put off the evil day, unless other help unlooked-for also comes, from Elves or Men. For the Enemy increases and we decrease. We are a failing people, a springless autumn.’
Gondor is SUCH a weird place to think about. What r your thoughts on post-war changes? Also, post WHICH war? There are just so many...
