#one injury after another

[natelia-aldelliz]

I wanted to try and find my headcanon of Roach's face because for some reason my brain decided that I couldn't keep writing my fanfic if I didn't know what I wanted him to look like beneath his mask... So obviously the full picture wasn't planned. (Also I went the easy way for the background because I remembered that I wasn't getting paid anyway so why make myself suffer)

I don't know if the design is definitive, but I find him cute. I made him Welsh, because why not. He can bond with Soap over why the fuck do the English exist.

Anyway they're gossiping about someone at the pub like the little shits they are. Also I don't know if it's obvious or not, but Roach has the mask sun-tan line. Ghost does too. Speaking of Ghost, he's on the other side of the table, looking like that :

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #gary roach sanderson #simon ghost riley #soaproach #ghostsoaproach #ghostsoap #soapghost #they each have one dogtag from the other two (they lied about having lost the first pair to get another to have enough) #but they only wear the three when they're not on duty for obvious reasons #also i feel like not enough people know that british dogtags are round and not rectangular like the american ones #soap wears a kilt because kilts are hot and with his shirt it looks kinda punk i think #thistles are the flower of scotland btw (and one of my favourite flowers they're so pretty) #the piercings also don't stay on when they're on duty because of the risk of injury #ghost isn't listening to the conversation at all - there's too much noise to focus anyway and his bfs are way too pretty #my headcanon about roach is that he's not completely mute (after all he talks when he appears in the comics) #but he still goes non-verbal when he's overwhelmed or with people he doesn't like (out of spite) so he knows bsl #sorry if the text and the tags are a mess i can't remember the last time i slept #roach's hair is styled because they're on a date - it's usually a mess he has constant bed hair #look at that i remembered how to draw i'd be proud if i wasn't barely there lmaoo #it's my first time drawing burn scars but i think it's recognisable? maybe? #my phone makes it look way more yellow than my computer and i don't know which one is wrong so rip lmao too bad

Number 6, for Hallowrove!

Okay this is the fun one I'd hoped someone would pick because the thing is it's happened so many times in canon already that there's just NO question about the answer

Hallowrove's List Of Who She'd Go To If Badly Injured, by preference:

- Fluorine Scaleflats, a Rubbery friend with a great skill and interest in Shapeling Arts who can be relied on to piece her back together in (mostly) (if asked nicely) the right order

- Haarsink, who also knows shapeling arts and can probably apply them in a much less biologically creative manner in a medical setting, but is second on the list because showing up bleeding at his place would stress him the hell out (ask me how I know lol)

- Oversol, who although being a deeply trusted safe place to go has no particular medical knowledge or skills and will probably just call a very expensive doctor and/or pick Hallowrove up and sprint her to a hospital, while being VERY stressed either way

Hallowrove's List Of Who He'd Go To If Badly Injured, by what inevitably actually ends up happening:

- Oversol

- Haarsink that one time

- But other than that it's always Oversol

- Good lord Hallowrove you are going to put this poor man into heart failure we have got to stop letting this happen so often -

#ask game #worst part is 'that one time' with Haarsink was only AFTER being sprinted there by Oversol jdhfhfjsj - #Hallowrove ends up badly banged up a lot from monster hunting or from crossing the wrong people and by now can usually deal with it #but there have been just an awful lot of times where they've either gotten hurt in Oversol's presence or he's the closest door to stumble to #or the first option they can pull into a hazy mind while stumbling through the dark #they're really conscious about stressing him especially at the current stage in the plot #but the two of them have crashed on each other's couches enough times that there's few states of disrepair they haven't seen each other in #and there's no one Hallowrove would rather have around for the aftermath and recovery of an injury，even if Oversol does fuss terribly #have to shout out Haarsink again though. poor man got home from a day's work to find one friend bleeding on his floor and another panicking #and. #.....okay i did just remember how he dealt with the other half of the situation but the Hallowrove part at least he dealt with well hdhfhfhs #my guy's got a neat twisted up Shapeling Arts scar now where a knife wound used to be #ANYWAY. excessive blorbo rambling is my passion #Hallowrove tag

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 12: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should rest for the night in an abandoned barn ...

~

Somewhat nervous about being out in the woods alone at night, he decides to try finding a more hidden sleeping spot, further off from the path. Though with his injuries, and his exhaustion, he knows he shouldn't walk too far. He tells himself that he'll just adventure a little, only an hour or so, and if he can't find anything better by then, he'll just give up and set a tent in some bushes somewhere......

After 30 minutes, he finally stumbles across an old barn. He can't see it very well with just a trickle of moonlight and the dull glow of his flickering lantern, but it seems to have not been used for many years. Structurally sound enough (at least he hopes), yet shrouded in moss and blankets of various overgrowth.. It takes a few moments to pluck away all of the ivy blocking his path, but he soon closes the rickety doors behind him to focus on the interior. There's no space to light a fire or set up a real tent, and he'll have to block a few holes in the walls so wild animals don't sneak in, but, there are a few surprisingly clear looking sections scattered amongst all the musty hay bales and cobwebs. He chooses a "cozy" spot in the corner, hidden behind a few dusty crates. Though he tosses about uncomfortably in his bedding for quite a while, he's eventually able to fall into a peaceful sleep.….....

.. Suddenly, he's startled awake by rustling, catching a dark blurred movement in front of him. He's smart enough to always sleep wearing his backpack over his chest so nobody could just grab it without him noticing, but it seems for the first time in all his travels... someone is actually trying to. Still half asleep, he clings to the bag and yelps, pushing and tumbling away into a moldy wooden barrel after an initial struggle. He pulls himself up to face the hooded figure now looming above him, entirely obscured aside from their vague cloak-ish shape outlined by the faint moonlight behind them.. The Adventurer calls out in a shaky attempt at an aggressive tone, "Wh-wh.. whAT are YOU DOIng? WHo-whu..UHHH??? aahhhG" "Give me the bag." The hooded figure speaks in a smooth, stern, yet calm voice, slowly taking a step forwards. The cat scrambles to The Adventurer's side, hissing and giving a low growl.. "w-WELL , uh,, sORRY , n-NO , I would rrrather not DO THAT, I h-- I uh-- I don't have even anythi- I don't even have ANYTHING, I mea- wh-wh HWaAt d-do I look RICH to you?? EUggh-" he gulps loudly, holding back nervous vomit, "B-BACK OFF!! you-.. f- uh.. THIEF!!!!!" The hooded figure pauses for a moment, as if re-strategizing how to approach the situation. "Look, kid, I don't want to hurt you. But I need you to give me that egg." "WHWh-what egg? I-I don.. DON'T have an EGG, I'm uh…aCTUALLY a-allergic to eggs, s-sso-" "The egg that's in a wooden box. In your bag. Don't waste your time bullshitting me.. Come on, let's make this quick." The hooded figure extends their arm, motioning to be handed the egg. Still desperately fighting not to throw up everywhere, The Adventurer simply sits on the floor, staring up at the hooded figure blankly as he tries to think.. Is he seriously being robbed for the first time? Is that like, a cool milestone, or a bad one? He's read about it in adventuring books before but... the reality feels so much different.. How can he get out of this? Strategies scatter through his mind, but he's too shaken to find any clear answers.. What should he do?

Additional Information

the adventurer's current main quest: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has

#paventure posting #poll #polls #choose your own adventure #for the record - if he had gone to the stranger's cottage. walked all the way to the villiage. or kept walking all night. the hooded figure #wouldnt have had a safe place to corner him and would have had to wait for another day. all the other options #(abandoned barn. sleep out in the woods. etc.) would lead to the same thing #The dice lady was letting him know someone has been following him. perhaps multiple someones #I was also going to include the options 'threaten to blow up the entire barn with magic and then nobody gets the egg' #and an option for him to just throw the egg on the ground and break it #but those seem more out of character and also breaking the egg would end his quest anyway since he would have nothing #to bring the Innkeeper's brother anymore lol #also a 'tell the cat to attack the robber' option but I was afraid too many people would choose that thinking it was #funny or a cool way out of the situation when like.. realistically the cat would get hurt actually and I don't want to endanger them #or have to write about them getting harmed lol. WHICH I know is a choice. I could be like 'wow the cat is actually a #magical cat and they explode the person and win hooray!' . but it feels too far fetched given the hooded stranger's background #they're not going to be like completely incapacitated by one small cat #things must be goofy and silly and fantasy but also.. underlying realism to an extent #I held back on not making him get more injuries after sailing down a river in a dinky little raft because I really think thats probably #quite dangerous hjknjk. I stated it was a very slow moving river specifically to make it seem a little more plausible but #I feel like in real life the current would just smash your raft into a rock in like 10 minutes lol #ANYWAY.. uh oh. boy in danger! #he can get out of it though. I believe in him #somehow an unskilled swagless penniless nervousboy can still make his way in the world #(he does have SOME skills ghhgh.. just like. not really adventuring suited ones. since he just started adventuring like #less than a week ago and has no training or practical experience aside from reading a lot of storybooks) #also I know his belt thing is on the wrong shoulder... shhhh... I still don't feel good and drew very quickly and am not #going back to make changes lol

It's so frustrating when I'm watching a video essay or analysis video about a subject I care about for an hour and a half of my only life, and I come away thinking "wow...you really don't get what you're talking about, huh?"

#this happened recently around the 30 min mark #but i was in the middle of a drawing and i didn't want to hunt another video to put on in the background #i find iceberg videos are often the Worst(tm) at this #because there's only so much detail you can go into with each topic #but this one also had bad writing/editing which was just insult to injury #my standards are too high #i can only watch media analysis videos from people who would have gotten a grade higher than a B- in their lit classes #video essays are still ESSAYS #SEE ME AFTER CLASS

yahikona modern doodles (they're both goths of course)

#me too konan. me too #konan #yahiko #yahikonan #naruto #this was one of the first ''finished'' doodles I made after that long period of injury I couldn't even lift up my arm #after this I also couldn't draw for another couple weeks but these doodles basically saved my mental health at the time #it has a nice meaning to me so I thought I'd share because... things DO get better #also @GP: you made me like Modern AUs so this drawing only exist because of Fraternity! lmaoo

maybe i need to finally get over myself and make a rich corpus lady oc whose entire purpose of existence is to sexily bully nef

#nefposting #i have vaia but shes a lesbian and hates nef in a not sexy way so that cant work #she only cares about her ex wife and her daughter #we need like an arranged marriage situation #where nefs mom picked out the perfect corpus woman for him #and nef is all HELP #and they have this weird relationship where they kinda tolerate one another #and maybe to add insult to injury she also has a tenno bestie/assistant like ergo #so nef is just in perpetual emotional agony #and speaking of ergo she actually really likes him bc ergo is just universally liked and respected #my AU where nef takes Ls after Ls and somehow survives with his ego intact #which is just the warframe canon i guess

your wrist was hurting sorry man I know how drawing and presumably college work does that get well soon ❤️‍🩹

LMAO NAW ITS FINE for one thing my hurt wrist is my non-writing/drawing hand so i can still draw/write/use utensils, drawing's just a lot slower without my hotkeys so i figure this is a sign i should take a proper break and rest up. plus i hurt my wrist rollerskating so dont worry i didnt sprain anything from drawing too much

#snap chats #genuinely surprising ive not seriously hurt my left wrist from drawing #i mean- some years back my wrist did really hurt for a few days but i dont think it was as bad of a strain as this #i take real good care of my left wrist since then anyhow so im not worried about getting another drawing-induced injury #like i said last ask tho my wrist feels a lil better compared to yesterday so hopefully i can get back to it soon #got plenty of things i wanna doodle and write and while i can write with one hand... this is a nightmare LMAO #'snap i thought you were sleeping' uhhhhh Oops <3 i started playing y7 again but before i did i was watching a vid #and now im watching it agan so.. lol #so funny while i was playing tho my sis walked in and started watchin and crackin jokes #shes so funny... SO FUNNY she saw sawashiro and was like 'wow he looks like a real guy' #to which Of Course i was like 'oh yeah its cause hes modeled after a real guy :)' an she was like OOOOHHHH ok #and then she saw arakawa and was like 'see he doesnt look real' and then i had to be like 'bro hes Also based off a real guy' LMAO #yeah... super silly.... i always love playin games when shes around even if shes never SUPER invested #i appreciate that she still watches an can still be funny. goofy as hell she was like 'these cutscenes are so long-- #didnt uou play this game last summer ??? how many times have you played this' and i was just Uuuuhhh Seven :) #LMAO HER FACE but she was all 'awww :)' when i tol her i was letting the cutscenes play out so she could watch #ok im done rambling i just said typing like this is a nightmare and it is so im stopping now BYE

Guys in shounen or bara yaoi will say shit like “hes a monster....” like okay ? So fuck him

#Listen to my problems #fire code is actually tearing me apart now that i have a grasp on the plot #fire force captain witnesses the death and injury of two comrades #the guy who actually gave the order to ‘charge’ into the fire was the injured comrade. however his older brother (higher up) tells the #captain that he cant let this incident (death of a comrade) to sully their family name (they have a few politicians and dont want their #names tarnished) so captain has to take the blame for the command and #to ‘punish’ him (even though he did nothing..) higher up blackmails captain (sexually duh its a yaoi) and the guy turns out to be quite the #cockslut (duh its a yaoi) and dead guy’s son joins the fire force to learn what Actually happened to his father (he overheard the conspiracy #by walking in on higher up buttfucking captain) and decided to do some blackmailing of his own in order to force captain to tell him what #really happened to his father and captain ends up lusting after dead guys son because hes kind of cute and theyre both really into each othr #captain performs an incredible feat of strength (ie ‘hes a monster...’) dead guys son only falls harder for him and eventually its revealed #that another guy whos been on the force for a while has a huge one sided crush on the captain and he helps out by blackmailing the higher up #in order to free captain from that arrangement and then captain and dead guys son have a happily ever after #and plus theyre actually cute as hell .... all above 180cm and 110kg.... #this is the only time i can accept a man acting uke is after he rips a car door off its hinges with his bare hands without even taking a #moment to brace himself or breathe or anything he just in the middle of a sentence tears it off #i cant deal

[wildegeist]

*Takes a deep, drawn out breath in*

It's been A Day. I'll say that. It is absolutely wild how much of A Day it's been. I cannot overstate how much of An Absolute Day this was

#can't even begin to describe the amount of fuckery that happened with me today #i had at least three large separate incidents that have nothing to do with each other happen back to back #the first one was me getting in a car crash that made me 2 hours late to work #it was my first crash. no injuries btw it was just a fender bender. still panicked #when i got to work another thing happened and then another thing right after that and both of them were Huge Things #all before 10:30 in the morning #i'm exhausted #wildemusings

[existentialcrisistime]

wait related to that last reblog:

I have a friend who does karate, and I mentioned that I used to do karate when I was younger but stopped when I broke two arms

them: oh you should come and join my karate group! it's okay if you accidentally break someone's arm, we won't kick you out or anything

me:

them:

me: ... they were both my own arms

#and the injuries didn't even happen at karate #they were just one after another and so I had to sit on the bench and watch for 8 weeks #and by that time everyone was far ahead of me so I was no longer interested #Nic stuff

[andromedasummer]

sometimes i remember the absolute shitshow that was f3 at monza and spa in 2015 and die a little inside. over half that grid are now professional, international racing stars in series like f1, fe, indycar, and yet. and yet. teenage brain prevailed then. absolute fucking carnage.

#everyone talks about monza because the 3rd race was literally STOPPED #by the race director who had lectured the drivers at 12am the previous night for their dangerous driving and inappropriate behaviour #on track that was putting themselves and others at risk #but no one remembers spas own shitshows #a driver takes out another + tatianna calderon who was Literally Just Vibing did absolutely nothing wrong and got crashed into #and then that driver (who was promptly reported to the race director) pushed his broken car IN FRONT OF THE PIT LANE BLOCKING IT (???HELLO) #next lance was fighting for the front with felix and another driver and just #turns on on the two after pushing them to the edge of the track. sending all three of the cars across track/into the barriers #for literally no reason could have gained a position the next lap had he not kamikazed himself #and then started arguing with the other drivers as if they werent victims of his act of terror #AND THEN #for the grand finale #the race is resumed once again #and gustavo is sent rocketing into the air and lands on his roof twice while rolling down the track and off the corner at the end #(pre halo. part of the top of his helmet was ripped off by the impact) #immediate red flag marshalls rush over to the car which has landed upside down #and instead of the normal procedure (propping up/raising the car slightly to allow the driver to crawl out) they righted the car #while he was STILL INSIDE. RISKING MORE NECK/SPINE INJURIES FROM THE IMPACT OF THE CAR HITTING THE TRACK #and i remember the commentator was absolutely LIVID #he'd missed monza and found thay appalling and he did NOT hold back from his criticisms of drivers #causing incidents or putting others in danger and he went IN on those marshalls and honestly i dont blame him for the anger #like fucking hell the standard of driving and general attitude towards your fellow driver was abysmal #and its lucky that after this all the drivers seemed to get it hammered into their heads to be far more careful and considerate #of where they are and what theyre doing on track because they started entering the professional driving field only a few years later #(not to mention the f3 car fucking sucked back then thats a WHOLE other discussion but apt when discussing drivability) #what a shitshow of a season though i'll never forget going through it and being silently horrified/exhausted by SOMETHING during the races #each weekend

[0rionz-belt]

me to the doctor, trying to get a referal: yeah i just struggle to talk to people thats all but i would like to be able to please

me, once i actually get an evaluation to get another referal to a psychiatrist: i still feel bad for hurting someone 4 years ago out of the fear that they were going to abandon me. also hey seeing imaginary bugs that disappear when i look directly at them after killing a real one isnt normal is it

#vent #hey these are some serious mental health issues for me so maybe dont talk to me about them? this shits hard to admit to. #wish i had mentioned how i started being convinced there was someone outside my house every night for months after losing a different friend #with occasionally thinking i heard people breaking in to go along with it #oh! or maybe the fact that im fucking pacing around for hours everyday doing nothing but daydreaming even to the point of injury!!! #ooo wait no what about me still being set off by notifications and thinking im about to lose another friend? #or how ive literally been going between being happy and normal to incredibly sad over the course of a day? #that ones been happening for about two months now and it is almost a daily occurrence #wait wait wait what about my feelings of emptiness? feeling like i have no identity?? those are pretty bad too #there is so much shit wrong with me yall <3333 #but overall i mostly just want to fix my incredible fear of talking to people #because my brain goes completely blank when i talk to most people and it makes shit so difficult #its impacted my ability to make connections as well as keep the ones i have. #so thats whats most important to me right now. ill work on the abandonment-induced toxicity after.

[Image ID:

A picture that says “A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization? The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. 

Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”

The second picture is a news headline. It is bolded and a much larger font. “27-year-old who couldn’t afford $1,200 insulin copay dies after trying cheaper version.”

The third picture is the same font and size as the Margaret Mead quote. It’s a continuation. It says, “A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.” 

The fourth picture is another headline. It is in a large and bolded type. “Dying man who couldn’t afford to go to hospital after vomiting blood"

The fifth picture is a screenshot of the Margaret Mead story.

Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur. 

The next screenshot is of a slightly different font. The letters are pointier and the lines are a little curvier. It says, “Susan Finley returned to her job at a Walmart retail store in Grand Junction Colorado, after having to call in sick because she was recovering from pneumonia.

The day after she returned, the fifty three  year old received her ten year associate award — and was simultaneously laid off, according to her family. She had taken off one day beyond what is permitted by Walmart’s attendance policy.

After losing her job in May 2016, Finley also lost her health insurance coverage and struggled to find a new job. Three months later, Finley was found dead in her apartment after avoiding going to see a doctor for flu-like symptoms. 

A screenshot of a bold, bigger headline. It says ‘The house always wins’: Insurers’ record profits.

A final screenshot of smaller text with a slightly gray background. It says “We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” /end ID.] 

#is this post a refutation of the claim that civilizations are defined by caring for their injured? #is it a critique of our own community and saying that we aren't civilized? #YOU DECIDE!
