Casting more of my fic...
So after imagining Helblindi played by Mark Strong and Byleistr played by JJ Field, I decided I needed to mentally cast a few more of the characters in “If I Could Start Again.” I’m not sure I want to draw them but I’m definitely going to be picturing these characters this way from now on:
Kevin McKidd as Freyr, Frigga’s second cousin
Rosamund Pike as Gerd, Freyr’s Jotun wife who disguises herself as Ljosalfr
Rose Leslie as Queen Brigid of the Summer Court of the Tuatha de Danann of Alfheim
Aubrey Plaza as Queen Mab of the Unseelie Court of the Daoine Sidhe of Ildathach (Alfheim’s moon)
and
Kenneth Branagh as King Njord of Vanaheim, Frigga’s brother who nobody likes

i can still relisten to the first episode of welcome to night vale and feel homesick for a town i've never lived in and that's the power of resonant storytelling

OKAY so apparently there is a rare type of migraine called a hemiplegic migraine that displays symptoms similar to a stroke, and after a fun little ambulance ride and CT scan I compiled my notes into a timeline of personal symptoms for fitness and for fun
Sharing because why not
Normal visual snow blurs slightly, making reading difficult
Spotty vision, large 'afterimage' type flashes blocking vision, partial blindness
Gradual descent into disorientation, confusion, "floaty" feeling, decreased cognitive function, slightly decreased fine motor function, slightly decreased gross motor function
Trembling in hands
Cold sweat
Mild abnormal difficulty with speech
Cold, tingling numbness of left arm, left side of face, left side of tongue, and roof of mouth.
Rapid increasing pain in left eye, right side of head that peaks at 1 hour, lasting between 5-7 hours, somewhat alleviated by heat packs, ice packs, direct pressure, and OTC pain medication
Mild to moderate nausea
Return of physical sensation after approximately 20 minutes from onset
Gradual return of vision- full return of vision after approximately 2 hours from onset
Gradual return to full cognitive function after approximately 4 hours from onset, along with full return to normal motor function
Continued mild headache in top right side of head for roughly 4 days following
Abnormal increase in fatigue
Return to full normal function
