#not looking for advice either

[sugaredoleander]

i say this with love. house fanfic writers, if you ever want me to beta something for medical accuracy, i'll fucking do it no questions asked

#hate crimes md #house md #hilson #listen. every medstudent is some version of an idiot and i am only a second year so for the love of god do not ask me #for Actual medical advice that i am not qualifed to give. i'm just qualified enough to check Fanfic. and i'll do it too just ask #this isn't directed at everyone. some of you have managed to put together well-researched compelling cases and i am kissing you #on the mouth for it mwah. even as i don't actually give a toss about most internal medicine #(look. i am just in a very monogamous relationship with trauma surgery) #anyway don't rely on the show either - sure it's one of the more accurate medical dramas but these morons still shock asystole #you can ask me how medschool works too!! the show is house md not house getting his md yet i've lost count of the ridiculous ways #people have gotten medschool wrong just. mentioned in passing. so concise and yet so wrong #serious offer. #these inaccuracies bug me more than they should

wish me luck tonight lads i have to ask my aunt financial questions and she is very much smarter and better at math than i am so im going to be doing a lot of smiling and nodding while my brain is actually exploding

#she's been trying to convince me to set up an RRSP and look into GICs and stuff and im like #i don't think i have the mental capacity for either but i will try (: #i told her i would look into it more after i got the life insurance thing squared away and thats over with so #now i must pay the piper. and by that i mean listening to investment advice from someone who makes at least double my salary (: #oh well at least she can give read advice. my dad's is basically 'stuff all your money in a metaphorical mattress and forget about it'

Went to the doctor just for a check up and he basically just told me "your body just processes sugar very well! :) :) :) It's a good thing! :) :) :) It can't possibly be the source of your symptoms even though eating fixes it :) :) :)" But there was also a moment when talking about my iron deficiency that is possibly one of the funniest things a doctor has ever said to me, up with the cardiologist who said "you're a medical mystery": He was going over my blood test results, and said "Your iron levels haven't gone up at all, they are still extremely low, but you're not anemic anymore" And I was like how am I not anemic anymore??? And he said "Your hemoglobin levels have gone up...somehow..." while frowning at the blood test results on his computer. It was very "somehow, palpatine has returned" lol

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #food mention #he did at one point say the iron issue is probably an absorption issue #which. give this is either my third or my sixth absorption issue (depending on if you count electrolytes) #I'm not exactly surprised but I'm also not thrilled #at some point it stops being 'your body is very good at processing' and starts being #'your body just yeets all nutrients out of it!' #I am on two different medications to make me retain salt more #like. one that is 100% the entire reason I take that med #one that that's a side effect of that med strong enough they thought I shouldn't take both together #until they did bloodwork to check (and found it was appropriate to take both) #and I STILL need a RIDICULOUS amount of salt #and sometimes! even with two different meds and like four different kinds of salt pills! I straight up do not retain salt! #I get super dehydrated and cannot fix it for days! #and I am more tired of it than I perhaps realized #just real tired of doctors going 'your body is just so efficient at processing :) :) :)' #I am already doing all the low blood sugar things. smaller more frequent meals lots of protein lots of complex carbs #not looking for advice just wanted to share the 'somehow...your hemoglobin has gone up' #because I do genuinely find that really funny

How do you draw so fast? /gen

#i think i just got used to drawing a lot #so yeah #im not much of a perfectionist either #so if it looks bad i just dont post it #and then i keep drawing #kinda cuts down the drawing time #cause then i dont get hanged up on those hiccups #sorry this isnt good advice #i genuinely just draw TT0TT this is my normal pace

[ganondoodle]

a wild assortement of comic wip screenshots and a random doodle that i posted to twitter but not here

(this doodle here is of Raal (aka demise before he became a deity) but whatever happens here isnt anything 'canon', i just randomly doodled him to try a loosen up my painting style bc when i work on the comic i tend to concentrate too much of rendering it perfectly and i dont like that)

#ganondoodles #doodles #art #i am so very tired #too tired for tags #btw i do love and read every ask i get but damn i just dont have the energy to reply to most #and i feel so guilty #i wish i could make a warning show up when someone wants to send me an ask #that just says -yo i love and cherish and reread all asks but unfortunately have zero energy to reply but chances are it made me cry- #given the asks isnt mean spirited or straight up bots #which my impsoter brain sometimes still tries to make me think #like either woo look at all those people LYING to your face #but i have grown alot since those days and now its mostly just #so look what a nice and lovely absolutely beautiful ask this person send you and you disrespectful fool are not answering it shame upon you #thats most likely why i have been getting less and less and man i feel so bad #like when its asks about drawing advice i either dont know what to say bc i dont have any idea what im doing eihter #or bc i plan a giant response with a big ass illustrated tutorial even tho i know i neither got the time or energy for it #but still cant answer then bc wait you wanted to make a tutorial you cant answer it just like that #and when its a super nice compliment about my art i just #dont know how to express my gratitude and silently reread it time and time again never answering it bc then it would be gone from the inbox #;__; #alright falling asleep brain better not have written sth i will regret reading tomorrow #i think this is the longest tags i put on a completely unrelated post of mine #if you have read all these tags send me an ask only containing the name of your fav fruit and i will make you a little pixel sprite of it

Hobie’s response to being reminded about losing someone close to him by reacting with hostile dismissiveness makes sense

he sees this for exactly what it is - Miguel using that trauma to manipulate and control the other Spiders - and it pisses him off instead of letting the sadness over it override his judgment

#Across the Spider-Verse #atsv spoilers #Hobie is the smartest character in the movie and it's great #no wonder he latches onto the younger Spiders too - they haven't been fully indoctrinated yet #and he can encourage them to think more critically #Pavitr hasn't had anything bad really happen to him yet #and he outright states the only reason he sticks around Spider Society is to look out for Gwen #almost everything he says to Miles is either advice on how to use his powers #or encouraging him to think for himself and trust his instincts #actually point of contrast there: when Gwen's doubts start rising she mentions that her gut is telling her this is wrong #and Jess tells her /not/ to trust her gut #and in the end it was Hobie who was actually looking out for Gwen when Jess did nothing to defend her #hell for the most part Gwen's spider team is made up of kids and the very few adults she can trust #and a cartoon pig

the thing about the dudebro discussion, the aita post, the willingness to just take at face value any accusations directed at a person you don't know, is that it's all so painfully transparent, it's so obvious that those conversations are happening at this scale specifically because it's about trans women. maybe it's just me, but you generally shouldn't be using certain terms for people unless you know that they are comfortable with them, and if you fucked up then apologize and move on (if we pretend for a second that the majority of dudebros weren't feign ignorance or just actively malicious to begin with). you should be aware that some things don't affect you the same way they affect other people, and you definitely shouldn't be giving those people potentially dangerous advice on topics that you personally aren't familiar with, this is the baseline, at least don't fucking put other people who were misled into trusting you in danger. and if an anon barges into your inbox with some wild accusations then you should stop and think "hey, why are you coming to me anonymously with no evidence to back any of this up, and in such a way that i have to reply to you publicly so more people get to see this" regardless of who it's directed at. like, those are all pretty simple things, or they should be at least, but because the targets are trans women and transmisogyny is so fucking rampant everyone has to bend over backwards to come up with excuses as to why treating trans women this way is perfectly normal and justified.

#transmisogyny #i'm not going too much into the aita thing because i've seen trans women express different opinions and i don't feel like it's my place #to talk over any of them. ik how i feel but i'm focusing on the part that i feel more confident about. which is don't give people advice #when you have no idea what you're talking about. like. those people trust you and turn to you for help and the least you could do is to say #“hey i'm sorry but i'm not the right person to ask” #i've been in a situation where a friend assumed i was tma and i didn't realize (i never said i was but we met in a game so like #minimum info outside of pronouns which were they/them at the time + some assumptions based on little things she knew about me like height) #and when she asked me about something that is not my lived experience i cleared things up. so the idea of just rolling with it instead #is so baffling to me. it's so irresponsible and disrespectful. it's hard enough already for transfems to trust people and you pull this? #the dudebro thing too. i hate being called a bitch (has nothing to do with gender) and ik that if i said so people would be like “yea ok” #could throw some completely genderless term in here as an example as well. people are usually fairly reasonable. but nooo not with dude #can't have the right to casually misgender a trans woman taken away from you. gotta make it look like that's not what you're doing either #infuriating and exhausting #benvey tag

kaishin au where kaito unwillingly received immortality from pandora. kaito is torn and broken upon the burden of eternal life. shinichi promises to stay with him forever. to do so, he drinks aptx 4869 every 10 years.

years go by and soon everyone in their life passes. kaito and shinichi learned how to create the poison from haibara before she left the world as well. but though it works in consistently turning back time for shinichi, it is still a deadly poison. accumulated, it slowly weakens him.

as shinichi's body slowly deteriorates, the poison chipping away at his life, kaito spirals. once again, torn and broken, kaito is desperate. feeling this to be their last years together, he decides to find a way to stay with shinichi forever.

a way to reverse his immortality.

a way to die together.

#kaishin #dcmk #detective conan #kudou shinichi #kuroba kaito #dc prattles #dont look at me idk why but this angst came out of fucking nowhere too #this came into my brain and i had to vomit it all here or else it'll plague my mind and die there #i actually wrote that they have half a century left but ig it's better to leave it vague #i think at one point they would have to fake their deaths #but shinichi's body couldnt possibly handle changing back and forth if he's past his 50s right? #what im trying to say is that make this au extra angsty by making them fake their deaths in their late 20s or early 30s #this is haibara's advice as someone who knows shinichi's biology the most and how the poison works #they could probably tell their close friends and family though (making it less angsty cause i remembered i am GODS WEAKEST SOLDIER) #lowkey shinichi at the point where kaito decides to look for a way to immortality is already either bed ridden #on a wheelchair #or at least cant run anymore and is easily tired #(THIS AU IS JUST AN ELABORATE SICK FIC AND MY ADDICTION TO TIRED SHINICHI SHOWING) #changed aptx 4689 to 4869! im sorry i wrote this at 2 am lmao

Just past 3.1K words in my Angel Dust fic and counting

hooray! <3

#angel dust #fic writer #ao3 writer #mrblackhaironthestreet #gods you guys are gonna either hate or love this #its a songfic (or songfic adjacent) that explores just. lots of stuff #drawing from personal experience as well as character reference and firsthand reports of similar things that go on in the fic #also occasionally referencing my drug knowledge cuz this fic is def pretty personal for me and i think its good to stay informed if u or #anyone you know uses. chances are theres at least 1 person you know who gets high. obv the fic isn't really psa material about harm #reduction but i squeeze some fun facts in there that you'd only really know if you went looking #and usually you only go looking for those facts if you need them and have used are using or plan to use #i once had to look up how to reverse an acetaminophen overdose. yeah. not my proudest moment #but the good part is that i sought out how to help myself instead of panicking and i think that being more informed can help others not #panic when shit goes wrong cuz eventually it will #knowledge is power. if ur in the scene u should know the ins and outs of it #same w any other scene like idk rock climbing where u know the shorthand 4 things and tricks and how to save urself if something fails #a LOT of hobbies involve risk even serious risk not just drug use #drug use is hella stigmatized tho so we only ever talk about how risky and self-abusing it is #there is no one too far gone to deserve help or at least some friendly advice #idk just. pls stay safe ily guys #and uh i hope u like my fic when i post it

[obikinetic-art]

Okay…gonna go ahead and throw some art out there even though I’m not sure about it??????? Style is not stable in the slightest, but I tried to make it look cuter than my usual stuff so I can branch out a little. Actively beating back the urge to not post any art until it’s perfect because otherwise I’ll never post anything! So…here we go 💀

ANYWAY, the important part is what fic this is from: Passion, by the lovely Why_is_my_nose_a_carrot on AO3. This is a sequel to their absolute rollercoaster of an original, Patience, which has completely melted both my mind and heart on numerous occasions and transformed me into a regular commenter.

If you like:

Obikin

Slowwwww burn

HELLA plot twists

Pining, protective, considerate Anakin

Vulnerable, strong, self-sacrificing Obi-Wan

Overcoming trauma/abuse

Long roads to redemption (looking at you Qui-Gon)

Realistic depictions of complicated relationships

Respectful and loving partnerships

Slavery-related morality issues

Original characters you would actually die for

ENGINEER!Anakin

Tooth-rotting domesticity

Anakin’s gorgeous hair

Anakin’s terrible cooking skills

Parental!obikin

THE TWINS!!! THE TWINS!!!!!!!!!!

Then you will LOVE these two fics. Passion is currently in progress, but Patience is fully finished. I highly recommend both with all my heart! And please be sure to read the tags before, as always.

Patience | Passion

This little scene is from Passion, where the twins are enjoying a rainy day out with Anakin and come across a very suspicious looking frog…🤨

I’ll definitely be doing more art from these fics, although I can’t guarantee any amount of consistency. Just know I’ll get there somehow.

#obikin #fanart #fanfic #star wars #fic rec #I’m sweating bro #I’m so bad at summaries #on god I’m gonna improve my art if it kills me too #I’m on a mission #saving the good scenes from Patience for when I get a lil better though teehee #please don’t look closely at the godawful background either #I’ll cry #art advice welcome #Patience obikin #Obi wan #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that somebody has posted your comic sans comic on reddit in the Undertale subreddit as well as the general comic subreddit. They’ve credited you in the comments and everything, but I just wanted to give you a heads up in case they didn’t ask you first/if you’re not cool with it.

... Huh. Thank you for letting me know- I don't use Reddit, so I had no idea :')!!

They didn't ask, and I'm not a fan of reposting, but I do appreciate the credit (and the fact that they have been correcting people on That One Panel)

Honestly, I'm not sure how to feel about this!! On one hand I'm flattered that it was... "cool" enough to get shared to another site, but on the other hand I'm a little miffed that it was reposted in the first place?

I... is there even anything I can do here?? What is Reddit etiquette? I know reposting is pretty common there, and I'm not really inclined to report them or ask them to take it down if that's part of the post economy/ecosystem, you know?

Thank you again for letting me know, but I uh. have no idea what to do about this!

#they also linked my ao3 😭 i appreciate it but also. MY AO3...... #is there even anything i can do in this situation?? ik with other sites it's best to report them but idk what reddit etiquette is like #idk i have mixed feelings on this #im... egh. i dont want people. reposting my stuff in general #but it is kinda funny to see the reddit comments in a way that doesnt directly impact me i guess? #if anyone has any advice feel free to shoot?????? like. i dont know if i *should* care about this specific occurrence of reposting lol #the ideal situation is that Guardian_Eatos67 simply sends me every single reddit comment on either post #(JOKING) if you see this please don't do that #oh my god i jsut looked at the numbers on reddit thats so scary #can i just. drop in with my reddit account lol?? #like hi. im the original creator. thank u for comments I've finally made it as an artist im being reposted to other sites #'come read my creators commentary.' #'and commission me' #LOL #velwy.txt #inbox #anon #WAIT IS THIS WHY I GOT A RANDOM INFLUX OF FOLLOWERS OUT OF NOWHERE??

[jdeanmorgan]

feeling so damn annoying these days. have to actively tell my brain to shut the fuck up more and more often. intrusive thoughts running haywire.

#gotta take deep breaths and remind myself that my friends don't hate me. #i might feel like my depression is coming back full force but i know it's just my meds not working right #dealing with the symptoms of chronic illness that's flaring up is just exhausting. #and the insomnia doesn't help with the fatigue either. smh. #not looking for advice btw im just using my own blog to vent so. #sonnytxt #if you see this no you do not

Maybe this is just me thinking everything that comes out of Joke's mouth has a double meaning, but WHAT IF he was also talking about himself in this scene?

WHAT IF, this is a reference to their mysterious history together from their freshman year? What if Joke had fallen for Zo from afar, then tried to be someone he wasn't to get close to him, but it ended up a mess (which led to the flashback scene we already saw). Then, Joke spent the next few years having to watch Zo infatuated over Nita but unable to do anything about it bcs they were not friends?

#joke in reality is just a giant soft simp #it's like khabkluen all over again #ok but this really is a bit of a stretch BUT WHAT IF #hidden agenda has me looking at the tiniest details thinking that they are hinting at something #either way tho #it's really good advice #like joke really knows what he's doing #hidden agenda #hidden agenda the series #jokezo #joongdunk #joong archen #dunk natachai
