Tattoo's - Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader

Summary: Reader gets her first tattoo much to Eddie's surprise.

Word Count: 1277

She didn’t hear the front door open, or Eddie announce his arrival home from work. She was in the bathroom focused on cleaning her new tattoo completely unaware of his presence until she caught sight of movement in the mirror out of the corner of her eye. “Eddie!” she smiled excitedly, spinning around to face him where he was now leaning against the door frame watching her with intrigue.

He chuckled slightly as he stepped towards her, “Now baby what’s gotten you so distracted that I didn’t get my proper welcome home” he teased, smiling down at her as she stood in front of him. He figured it must be something big as she couldn’t stand still, he could feel her excitement radiating from her as she swung her clasped hands in front of her all the while a grin spread across her face.

“Well…” she draws out, her eyes quickly glancing down, so quick that Eddie almost misses the movement but she speaks again before he can follow her gaze downwards. “You know how I’ve been wanting a tattoo for a while” is all she manages before he interrupts her.

“You didn’t” his eyes widened as she nodded at him, "Let me see, let me see" he pleaded, bouncing on the balls of his feet as his excitement rivalled her own.

Holding out her arm, she watched him as his eyes followed the black tendrils of ink spanning across her forearm. His hands reached out to twist her arm slightly so that he could see from a different angle which she allowed seeing as his hands weren't actually touching the tender skin. Although the moment his hands moved to try and trace over the lines, she was quick to slap them away. "Nope not with your dirty, greasy mechanic hands" she scolded lightly, ignoring the pout that appeared on his plush lips, "I have to keep it clean so that I don't risk it getting infected" she informed him. It was something she assumed he knew considering the assortment of tattoos that littered his body and she was quick to point that out to him, "I just want it to heal properly like yours" she reasoned when he responded with a 'but baby'

Eddie snickered at that, "Yeah considering mine were done from a friend of a friend in Rick's basement it's a wonder they healed at all" he revealed, something she hadn't known before.

"Eddie it's your body, your life but it could get really dangerous if they'd have gotten infected" she urged. She'd heard all sorts of horror stories of people who had gotten ill from an infected tattoo so much so that they almost died, she shook the thought away, not willing to think of Eddie like that and instead opting just to look at him with wide eyes while she waited for his response.

"Yeah well when you short of cash you take your chances where you can" he shrugged as if it was nothing but he didn't miss the way her eyes grew comically larger at his nonchalance of the subject, "but I promise that's in the past, my last few have been from accredited tattooists in a proper parlour so you don't have to worry your pretty little head" he assured her, sealing it with a kiss to her forehead.

It had the desired effect and she relaxed at his words, though making a promise to herself to watch him closely when he inevitably got his next one. "I hope so mister" she spoke with a pointed glare his way, playfully prodding his chest with her finger, which he wasted no time in grabbing and tugging her close to him, causing her to squeal at the unexpected movement. “But can you do me a favour and help me wrap it?” she pouted up at him once the room had stilled..

A smirk grew on Eddie’s face as he, as usual, found an innuendo in everything. “Oh we’re wrapping it up now, I thought you liked it raw?” he teased, laughing as a choked sound somewhere between a laugh and a gasp passed her lips as she placed her palm flat against his chest so she could push her body away from his.

“Un-fucking-believable” she scoffed turning her back to him, not that she could fool him as he had already seen the smile tugging at her lips, well that and he could see her reflection in the mirror now that she’d turned around.

Stepping forward, until his chest was pressed against her back, he slipped his arms around her middle and tucked his face into the crook of her neck, his warm breath tickling the skin as he spoke. “I’m only kidding baby,” followed by kisses up the column of her neck to just under her ear, “of course I’ll help you wrap it” he whispered against the shell of her ear before pulling away, chuckling to himself as her body tried to follow him. “Just gotta wash these dirty mechanic hands first” he spoke, repeating her earlier words back to her as he wiggled them in her face briefly and she scrunched her face up in response.

They were quiet as he washed his hands and she turned to get the wrap for her arm. Once his hands were dry, he took what he needed from her outstretched hands, his own working expertly to cut the wrap down to size and gently place it over the tender skin with ease before he secured it with a little tape so that it wouldn’t come off during the night.

“There all done” he pulled back to let her admire his handiwork and she whispered her thanks to him as her eyes remained cast down, still focused on her arm. Eddie reached out again, hands desperate to trace over the design, only this time she let him since there was no contact with her inked skin. “It really is beautiful, don't know how you managed to keep it a secret from me though” he laughed quietly, his eyes still focused on the black ink just like her.

“It was tough, I did want you there but then I didn’t want to tell people in case I chickened out last minute” she explained, a slight pout on her face as she did so.

Eddie nodded in understanding, a tattoo was a big commitment, something you had to be one hundred percent certain with considering it was on your body for the rest of your life. “Well I’m glad you didn’t, makes you look even more metal” he joked, sending a wink her way which made her laugh.

“Well that’s easy enough to do since the only thing metal about me is you” she spoke and he gasped in response.

“T’is not you are plenty metal” he argued as she shook her head which only caused him to rattle off a list of everything he believed made her the most metal person he knew. Smothering her in praise in the cramped bathroom of their shared trailer, in their own little bubble where they could be anything they wanted to as long as they had each other, something they both hoped would never change.

Eventually they moved to the couch in front of the old tv with bowls of boxed mac n cheese in their hands with the talk of future tattoos filling the space between them, which turned into future plans, which then finally turned into them falling asleep tangled with each other awkwardly on the couch in ways that would leave them aching in the morning but their hearts full in the present.

Hello !!! 💖 I'm a young satanist trying to figure out how to properly worship and live the lifestyle, but with all the Nazism and such that satanism is infected with, I'm a bit lost as to where to turn for good information that's not gonna accidentally get me on board with ideas that have nasty shit hidden in the shadows of them. Are there any good books/organizations I can look into or just some general tips? <3

We have a certain perspective on this, so bear that in mind.

What is attractive about Satanism as a concept is not really the "might is right" ideology of Anton LaVey and its worship of social stratification, and it's not The Satanic Temple's pyramid-shaped classical liberalism / Gen X trolling.

Rather, it's taking the idea that even if the story of Christian mythology were true, Satan is still the hero for looking at an omnipotent tyrant and that tyrant's proposed immutable hierarchy for the universe but choosing to rebel and grant people agency over their own lives.

And it's the idea that if the Christians say we are demonic or of the devil's party for being queer or seeking the common good of all people, well, then we're with the devil and down to party.

For that reason, anarchism is more central to Satanism than wearing black or lighting candles, even though the aesthetics are what distinguish it from other strains.

From that, Errico Malatesta is a good place to start because he wrote for a long time and focused on pamphlet-style works that could make sense to a typical person, rather than academics.

Malatesta is easy to read, and still relevant in lots of ways because he lived through so much and lived his ideals (famously, for example, refusing to talk to the cops after he was shot by a fellow anarchist over an ideological dispute).

"The ABCs of Anarchism" by Alexander Berkman is also a good introductory work for establishing fundamental values and why.

You also can listen to that one as an audio book over at Audible Anarchist.

Note that both of those are straight white men, and the "mainstream" of anarchism has often had a problem of failing to recognize or live by principles of opposing all hierarchies, including white supremacy and cishetero-patriarchy. The fact that anarchist Becky Edelsohn "dated" Berkman when she was 16 and he 36 (and that this was supported by Berkman's previous partner Emma Goldman) is one example of this. Mikhail Bakunin gave us one of the best quotes of all time regarding anarcho-satanism ("But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds"); Bakunin was also a racist.

Other people can give better advice and examples, but Indigenous Anarchism, Black Anarchism, Anarkata, Queer Anarchism, and Anarcha-Feminism are all areas that a person needs to put work into in order to undo the kyriarchy — the whole structure of interconnected systems of oppression we're indoctrinated into and subjected to.

"But what does that have to do with Satanism?" Mainly it's to help you spot when something you come across is engaging in the sort of hierarchical, fascistic, or even neo-Nazi ideas that LaVeyan Satanism and its offshoots have always had connected with them. They're not always obvious, and having good principles established is the best immunization and antidote to being exposed to new ideas with euphemisms and shibboleths you can't be expected to be prepared for.

You also can come up with your own rituals and ideas. For example, the Satanic Flame Ritual we have is not due to access to some secret knowledge but it helps externalize and objectivize an internal, subjective, emotional process. Things like candles and flames or altars are best seen in that light.

Anyway, hopefully that helps. It's not that you should never read something like The Satanic Bible or other esoteric works to get ideas. It is that Satanism is the exact opposite of place to look for good ideology or consistency, so you want to start somewhere else for that (we say anarchism) and then look to Satanism and other Satanists for aesthetics and inspiration for rituals that you can modify and integrate into your life in ways that best serve you.

Portal Zombie AU

I'm more of an ideas man, so actually writing out my ideas into a full story is stupid difficult. But I still want to share while I embark on the painfully long process of turning this idea into a full fic. (sorry if any of this is formatted strange or if I'm somehow posting wrong, I don't really understand tumblr all that much)

Portal Zombie Apocolypse AU!! (I started this before infection aus started popping up if that gives you any frame of reference as to how long ago I started this)

Summary: Instead of Caroline being put into Glados, she's poisoned by a jealous coworker with a strange substance from one of the labs (Cave is still alive and healthy, he's just not relevant to this story)

She goes home to her fiancé Chell (queue the gasps and cheers) Who is worried that she appears so sick and cold. Caroline brushes her off and goes to rest, insisting it's just a bug. So Chell leaves and visits her friend and former coworker Mel (queue more gasps and cheers)

It's here where we learn a bit more about Chell, she's a former test subject that left quietly after witnessing the death of a fellow test subject due to the unsafe testing conditions of Aperture. She hasn't reported anything for fear of ruining Caroline's career.

While Chell is away, Caroline begins to change, her body begins to decay, her hair loses it's color and turns white, her brown eyes shift to a haunting yellow. In a distressed state, not remembering that she pushed Chell away, begins desperately searching for her. This is when the infection spreads to other people.

By the time Chell leaves Mel's house (the next day) the entire city is desolate, she rushes home, encountering several zombies on the way. She's desperate to find Caroline again, but she doesn't find her. So she gathers a couple weapons and goes back out to search for her fiancé, on the way meeting Doug Rattman, the scientist that was working on the serum that caused all of this, he's trying to find a cure (he also has a large therapy dog simply named "Companion" that accompanies him) the two team up and travel together, eventually meeting Wheatley, whom they have to save from a small horde. Mel probably dies I haven't decided.

Angst and apocalypse shenanigans ensue, the crew travel together till they find Caroline, now Glados, (Genetic Lifeform Amplifier Destitute of Soul) (idk man I needed to get the name change in there with a new acronym) Emotional moment, Chell has to kill her, world begins to heal.

Some other information: Caroline is the patient zero in this (obviously), so she's got some abilities to kinda mimic Glados in the game. She acts kinda like the head of a hivemind, she's able to tune into any infected and see what they see, hear what they hear, etc. She uses this to spy on Chell, as she is now hellbent on killing her (I'll work out a proper reason, it's mainly because her mind is very corrupt right now and all she knows is that Chell makes her feel very upset, because when she was first getting up again while Chell was gone she found her ring on the counter)(She doesn't know that it was temporary so that she could wash her hands and just forgot to put it back on)

This all also means that killing any infected won't do much to end the apocalypse, they have to kill Caroline.

I have some other little ideas but thats about the jist of it. The idea was inspired by Brand New City by Mitski and California Dreamin' by The Mamas and The Papas

If anyone has any advice on properly executing an idea like this PLEASE share, I'm almost desperate here (I'm very desperate, writing is a tricky mistress)

So, here are my Chara, Asriel, and Monster Kid designs for my AU (6 Feet Under)

MOST OF THE AU’S STORY UNDER THE CUT :^)

So, I changed some stuff up with some of the characters– so Monster Kid’s there around the time where Chara and Asriel are. (Frisk is in this AU, but I haven’t drawn out their design yet).

STORY

Chara actually wandered off from home after being left unsupervised, which ended up with them wandering around Mt. Ebott and eventually tripping and falling into the underground. They ended up falling directly into Toriel’s garden in the ruins, where Asriel happened to be doing his daily chores (watering flowers, clipping vines before they mix in with flowerpatches they shouldn’t be mixing with, etc.)

Chara’s fall didn’t really end up being cushioned by flowers, it was kind of cushioned by Asriel. They both definitely kind of got hurt by the fall, but it was probably better that Chara fell on Asriel instead of nothing. Asriel brought Chara to Toriel, where they decided it’d be best to keep Chara with them in the house and care for them as if they were Chara’s own family.

Going from an only child to someone with a 6-8 year old sibling was a huge change (Asriel’s around 12-13), but he didn’t really have any friends (besides Monster Kid), so he was actually glad to have someone in the house that he could hang out with! (Sure, Chara’s like 4 years younger than Asriel, but that’s basically his little sibling now. Plus, Asriel’s used to being around younger kids because Toriel’s a teacher in this AU!)

Chara ends up staying in the underground for a while and they weren’t really a well kept secret in the Dreemurr family, as much as Asgore wanted people to not know about Chara, because they kind of just let them run around Snowdin however they wanted. (As long as Asriel was with them)

This is around a time where Alphys and Gaster are experimenting with determination with the rest of their team of scientists, which is sourced from human souls they gathered during the war. Human souls were originally being gathered so they could bring up the strength of Asgore’s army, but the war ended before they had the chance to properly test any of it. With some research and experiments, Gaster decided it was safe to inject determination into the bodies of monsters. Unfortunately, his dumb ass was WRONG!! Symptoms only started showing up later, late enough to where monsters were sent back out to their families and it was out of the team’s hands. (They never found out they could use human souls on the barrier lol, they were more focused on the rest of their research)

Gaster was one of the first subjects of his own experiment and once the symptoms began showing up, he almost immediately brought his team in to start trying to come up with anything they could make to stop the determination from further spreading through monster’s bodies.

It actually started to evolve in the bodies of those injected, making it spreadable through anything that could possibly allow an infected monster’s bodily fluids to enter the body of another. The monsters that were used as Gaster’s test subjects began noticing symptoms, starting with some common flu symptoms, slowly devolving into their bodies losing shape. Most of those monsters lived in New Home, aka the capital. New Home was highly populated, making the sickness spread FAST once it started spreading.

Asgore went to Gaster the moment he found out, spending less time with his family and more time in the lab. Mettaton’s robot body ended up being made so they could send someone out to get more information about the sick monsters’ symptoms. Instead of just having a show, Mettaton became more of a news reported. It’s not what he wanted to do with his life, but he was satisfied with helping in whatever way he could.

Gaster brought up the idea to get another human soul to conduct some research on, to see if it could be used in any possible way to deal with the illness. They’d used just about every human soul they’d gathered from the war for their previous experiments, and he decided he’d need a new one.

Asgore got an idea, he had a “EUREKA ☝️💡” moment. So he went to Toriel and explained the situation to her, trying to convince her it’d be for the best and that Chara’s not her real child anyways, so what would it matter? Of course Toriel wasn’t happy, she was pissed beyond belief. They ended up having a whole argument over the matter, somehow entirely forgetting that children are really.. REALLY nosy.

Chara and Asriel ended up listening in, which led Asriel to come up with a plan. He packed his and Chara’s things and fled towards Snowdin, where they ended up hiding out at Grillby’s for the time being. Grillby himself had just moved down from the capital, where his daughter ended up staying for college. He ended up contacting Toriel pretty quickly, to which they both made the agreement to keep Chara and Asriel down in Snowdin until things blew over. (Yippee new parental/family figure!!)

Spoiler alert! Things did NOT blow over :^(

Toriel ended up using the Ruins as a place to quarantine the sick, mostly keeping the sick children happy while trained medical professionals actually took care of the sick. A lot of monsters didn’t like the idea of shutting themselves off in the Ruins, so a lot of people ended up moving down to Snowdin, where a lot of doctors had been staying.

The guard ended up short on people because of the illness, and the royal guard ended up being broken up into a few groups of people.

Doggo, Greater Dog, Lesser Dog, Dogamy and Dogaressa, and Papyrus made up the guard of Snowdin. (Once Papyrus joined the guard, Sans ended up volunteering at Grillby’s to help make and deliver food to the sick monsters in the Ruins and Snowdin.)

Aaron (the horse enemy dude) is part of the Waterfall guard. His job is to keep watch of who’s leaving and entering Snowdin, while the other parts of Waterfall’s guard keep watch of other entrances to Waterfall.

Those two gay guards (whatever their names are) are part of Hotland’s guard, keeping watch of everyone coming through. The only people that are really allowed in Hotland are scientists and people who do check-ups on the CORE. (The MTT hotel is a thing, but it’s mostly used for scientists and such to stay in while conducting check-ins on the CORE or working with Gaster.)

At some point everyone’s losing their shit, because NOBODY has access to the true lab portion of the lab, because Gaster’s isolated himself in the lab. His own illness ended up to the point where he decided it wouldn’t be safe to let his team come near him, and then was just. He was Gaster, what more is there to say? (Said with silly intent)

There’s more business in Snowdin than there was before, and it’s more populated than New Home was. (I might draw it later :^))

Okay this is getting really long and that’s just about it, but i’ll give some more character designs really soon i SWEAR :^)

(heehee i hope you guys like it ive spent way too much time on it.. like, it’d been beint worked on since last year)

I feel asleep last night trying to write this, here I go again

🦃p1

Silverware clinked against plates, conversation flowed, and Travis felt like he was going to pass out. The pre-dinner meeting did not go well as hoped. Laura had explained to her parents that she was dating someone a bit older and when she told them the age she thought she was joking. When they opened the door however and saw for themselves their little girl standing next to a man a little older than their daughter they stuttered through pleasantries and never stopped scrutinizing him from across the room.

Now at the table, even more than before, Travis was hyperaware of his entire being. Was he sitting properly? He wasn't making a gross display of eating, was he? Is he sweating, please don't let them notice if he is? Had he even taken part in a conversation?

"You're so quiet Travis." A sultry voice commented.

'Shit.' Travis realized that he really hadn't said a word since earlier and the first person to speak to him again was Laura's aunt Kimberly.

Kimberly was Mr. Kearney's little sister with a similar gap between years that Travis had with Chris. It'd be a lie to say she wasn't beautiful with a river of brown wavy hair, light blue eyes, and a wide flirtatious smirk. However, she was also rather crude. The whole night she was going on about her sexual escapades and the encyclopedia of knowledge she knew about the subject. Laura had blocked her aunt from talking to him, although Travis had avoided her as much as she could, not comfortable with speaking about such things so publicly. Even if he was, he's just only meeting everyone.

"Sorry, just a few things on my mind." So much so that he didn't realize how little he'd eaten and went back to finishing some of his plate.

Kimberly's impish giggle sent worry through him and groans came from every sit at the table.

"Kimberly please don't start this." Mrs. Kearney's request went unheeded.

"What?" Kimberly looked around at her family like they were immature. "It's not like we've had worse conversations at this table. If we had to sit through Andy's gross stories about all his infections then we can talk about Laura and Travis. It's practically a tradition."

Everyone bemoaned the fact of being reminded of Andy's overly detailed information about what was happening with him, but they nodded their heads in agreement that talking about any new love developments was to grill the new introduction through over dinner. Kimberly locked back onto Travis.

"So..." She paused for dramatic effect, Travis made sure he didn't have anything in his mouth and Laura was shaking her head pleadingly. "Laura, Travis is a much older man and there are problems with keeping it up? Is he pleasuring you well?"

"Oh my God." Laura sounded like she was in pain and buried her face in her hands. "Yes, Aunt Kimberly, Travis does well, our sex life is good. Okay."

"Just well and okay?" She raised a skeptical eyebrow looking at Travis.

He realized he wasn't going to get out of this, or future conversations without saying anything.

"Kimberly, I don't think it's appropriate to say any more than what Laura answered."

Kimberly pouted at the answer, then her daughter spoke next. Laura said she would explain things later, but she and her cousin Jennifer hated one another.

"Laura just trying to cover up the fact that she's disappointed twice. She's a little cop fucker with a shitty sex life."

Travis blew out a low breath of air and Laura's face twisted into fury.

"Again, my sex life is good Jen," There was a hard emphasis on her cousin's name. "Nothing to cover up, unlike the girl that had to fuck her way to a degree."

"Laura!" Mrs. Kearney shouted.

"What we know it's true." She never took her eyes off of Jennifer who flipped her off.

"Is your entire relationship long distance?" From the end of the table another cousin, Mark, spoke. "It's kind of difficult, isn't it. I've tried but it didn't work out well."

Laura gave Travis an encouraging look to answer, and get involved.

"It was concerning at first, but we managed to make it work. Everything's been going smoothly." He felt himself ease up more being able to answer something he could handle.

Mark hmmed satisfied with the answer. Yet it was more like he was satisfied with the first half of the question, across from his twin Benjamine, followed up.

"So you two are going to move in together yeah." He asked around a mouth full of food.

Laura and Travis tensed. It was a conversation that they went back and forth on. Travis spent his whole life and career in North Kill and Laura didn't think it was right to uproot him just for her. Not to mention if he was able to be successfully transferred anywhere. Laura insisted that they stay in North Kill. Travis on the other hand fought with needing to keep his job, but he would be damned if he were to keep Laura away from a better paying job in the city. They debated how commuting would work, but mentally it would have been too much for everything.

"We're figuring it out." He answered honestly.

A disgruntled noise came from the head of the table.

"Just figuring it out?" Mr. Kearney and Travis felt his chest tighten.

"Yes sir." Travis turned to face him more. "It's just a few little problems to discuss more. What's best for us, but especially Laura."

"For us?" Laura lightly corrected him.

"So you've been dating for two and a half years. Laura has become quite attached to you. She's never even gushed about Max the way she has with you. She's going to have a bachelor's degree soon and you haven't figured out what you're going to do for yourselves?"

The volume in the room decreased as everyone slowly stopped eating to hone in on what was happening.

"Dad we have time to figure it out, I've got two more years before I'm done and I don't know if I'm going to try to get a master's degree." Laura was shocked at her father and something started brewing inside her.

"While she could have said it better Kimberly is right." Mr. Kearney never took his eyes off Travis. "Travis is getting older and he's probably already stuck in his ways. You don't need to be held in place because he's playing indecisive."

"With respect, Mr. Kearney we're taking this seriously. We just want everything to continue to work for us." Travis answered, but Mr. Kearney didn't seem satisfied.

"We've got two more years. I don't mind if we stay in North Kill after I graduate." She paused briefly to stop Travis before he could say anything to her. "Its a decision we both have a say in and can change later when we have all our money in order."

"Things do change." Mr. Kearney started, Laura saying a brief yeah to something so obvious. "And I'm just concerned about Travis actually holding down an interest."

There was a heavy uncomfortable pause and Travis hated how this made him return to his regular, comfortable mindset.

"What the hell is the supposed to mean?" Travis set his silverware down staring with disbelief and anger at Laura's father.

"It means I don't think you actually love my daughter as much as you're acting to and she believes you do." Mr. Kearney said matter of factly.

"Excuse you?" Laura the earlier feeling in her stomach bubbled.

"Laura, sweetie I know what your dad is kind of thinking." Mrs. Kearney spoke much more subdued than her husband. "We can't ignore that it hasn't been that long since that mess at Hackett's Quarry. You and Max going missing, all those other camp counselors dead, his entire family involved in so many terrible things and dead." Mrs. Kearney finished and pointed sharply at Travis.

Travis shifted in his seat. He knew that the quarry might be mentioned but they got to the point where he thought that subject matter was far and away.

"What's that got to do with anything?" Laura matched her parent's judgmental eyes with her own.

"We-" Mrs. Kearney started when Mr. Kearney interjected.

"What we're getting at is wondering if Travis is abusing everything that happened that summer as a way of trapping you in a relationship."

Laura and Travis bore matching expressions of disbelief and anger.

"I would never do that. I've never thought of doing that. And I don't appreciate being accused of doing such a thing." Mr. Kearney scoffed at the reply.

"Why the hell would you even get close to thinking that?" Laura.

"Because Laura, the news, and both of you came out about murders that his family was involved in and how he captured you. "Mrs. Kearney sounded heated herself. "We don't want you taken advantage of."

Neither Laura nor Travis could deny it was a bit awkward. If it weren't for various Travis may have ended up in jail, but was acquitted

"I understand that," Laura said trying to calm herself a little. "I understand that. But I survived, I did my therapy and then some. Travis isn't blackmailing me or anything to be with him."

"I'm lucky to have her be with me." Travis followed up.

"I'm sure you are." Mr. Kearney was not about to let this remotely die down.

"Dad!" Laura gritted through her teeth.

"I doubt you had much success with relationships and trauma can blur things."

"Meaning what?" There was a bite to Travis' tone that Mr. Kearney didn't take well.

"Meaning I don't need some old murderous bastard trying to do any further harm, to my daughter."

"Your daughter knows what she's doing and she doesn't want you talking to her boyfriend like that," Laura said, she could name that bubbling filling as anger and it felt like it was boiling and leaking into her very core.

"I'm just trying to make sure you don't want you to experience a repeat of that summer." Mr. Kearney.

"We're beyond that and you don't know anything. Travis has been through just as much as I have." Laura countered.

"We've helped one another through it." Travis.

"You don't need to help her with anything." Mr. Kearney, Laura was so close to bursting.

"You shouldn't be treating her like some child." Travis's voice raised.

"And you shouldn't be using my daughter as some therapy fuck piece."

SHATTER!

Everyone became silent and Laura panted heavily standing from the table. When she shot up she knocked over her and Travis' glass causing them to shatter on the ground. She had slammed her hands down, her right one came down on part of her plate, breaking it and cutting herself.

"La-" Her father started, but

"FUCK YOU!" Laura yelled at Mr. Kearney and stomped away from the table, out of the dining room and the front door could be heard opening.

Travis was up on his feet and following. Mr. Kearney was almost at his side as if it were a race. Mrs. Kearney behind her husband the rest of the family following her, but stayed at the door. Mr. Kearney and Travis speed up their pursuit.

"Laura?" Travis called for her voice laced with concern.

"I want to go." She wept.

Travis put an arm around her and did his best to soothe her.

"I just want to go." She didn't look up.

"Okay." He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.

She stood close to her door waiting for Travis to get to the driver's side. As he got in and started the car Mr. Kearney approached.

"Laura." Mr. Kearney reached out for his daughter as she started to get in.

Laura slapped his hand and gave him a spiteful glare.

"Don't touch me." Her voice wavered. "I can't fucking believe you. For you fucking talk to Travis like that, to belittle me that! I don't want to fucking talk to you, understand. And don't call me."

What To Do About Recurrent Wounds?

A wound infection occurs in the event that a pathogenic microorganism gets into damaged skin and causes inflammation to the tissues surrounding. If it is not immediately recognized and treated, the inflammation could spread to potentially life-threatening chronic diseases.

Care experts should be extra attentive to identify signs of infection on chronic wounds. They must make sure that adequate debridement is done, use topical antiseptics for local wound infections, as well as antibiotics for spread or systemic infections. Whether you intend to to learn extra information about wound infections, you have to browse around https://gliwiceonline.pl/2018072274738/zraniles-sie-brudnym-narzedziem-jak-rozpoznac-zakazenie-rany site.

Maintain a Healthy Diet

The first step to cleaning a dirty wound or one which has developed an infection is to clean it of any dirt. Then, they should clean it using alcohol wipes or clean using water.

Then, they need to wrap the area with gauze bandages or different type of dressing to guard against germs. For minor cuts and scrapes are able to apply this treatment at home to avoid infection, but patients with bigger wounds need to have a trained medical professional perform the procedure for them.

The infection of a cut is a medical emergency and is not to be missed. The wounds infected by infection can result in swelling, redness and pain. In extreme cases, individuals can also suffer from chills and the appearance of fever. The wounds that are infected can drain pus and develop inflammation. One should see a doctor as soon as there are signs that suggest an infection that could be serious.

Beware of putting too much pressure on Yourself

An injury that is subject to enough pressure for a long time could cause a skin injury. These are often called "bedsores" and they vary in severity, ranging from small patches with discolored skin to large wounds that expose the muscle and bone. Pressure ulcers can be difficult to treat and may not heal properly unless pressure is reduced.

Most commonly, the best way to lessen pressure is by turning the affected area every 15 minutes or so. Mattress pads and pillows are available for relieving pressure in areas such as your feet, hips, buttocks and back.

Clean up the pressure sores at stage I or 2 with saline solutions (sterile water containing salt). You can then apply an antiseptic ointment such as Neosporin or Polysporin, to ensure that the area is clean. Make sure to change the dressing daily, and maybe more often dependent on the kind of injury you have.

Wear the appropriate outfit

According to studies the clothing of a person is a conduit network of infection. If nurses or doctors take a bite of an MRSA patient, uniforms of those individuals pick up bacteria in the 65 percent of instances. The improper removal and usage of protective gear (such as gloves, gowns and masks) can also cause the spread of germs between healthcare professionals as well as patients.

Cleaning your hands and washing clothes often is essential for those who have suffered injuries. The clothing can be sterilized through washing and drying. Anyone with a serious cut or scrape should always cleanse it, and then apply an antiseptic cream before wrapping it in gauze or a bandage. Scabs are the part of healing. So do not pick them.

Consult Your Doctor

Our skin serves as our body's first line of protection against bacteria and viruses. If your skin gets damaged or cut, bacteria may enter the skin, multiply and cause an infected area. This infection could cause injury to tendons, muscle, bone, blood vessels, and nerves.

Infected wounds can release pus, feel warm, and may be achy and emit a foul odor. Contact your doctor as quickly when you notice these signs.

It's important to see a doctor if you suffer from chronic or unhealing wound infections. A doctor may recommend treatment to improve the healing process.

Conclusion:

Infection is a common problem for chronic wounds. It may cause delayed healing and additional issues. It is essential for experts in wound care to identify the signs that indicate infection including increased pain, the appearance of pus, oozing, and a bad smell. It is crucial for them to control infection by removing the dead tissue using debridement and employing topical antibiotics and antiseptics for systemic or local infections.

Study - Subjective response to lysine within the therapy of herpes simplex. The monolaurin works nicely also and might actually be included. Coconut oil is wealthy in monolaurin, which is why it's effective and why we advocate it as properly.

Again; let’s take a look at nature, we can all the time be taught from that. A herd of animals will act/react in unison when offered by a menace. It often begins with one… perhaps a couple of detecting a risk; and at a mere flick of a tail and/or configuration of the ears, the entire herd responds… reacts accordingly. We are really no different… apart from ‘the flick of a tail’ state of affairs of course; we too will communicate very important information with each other; howbeit, in our own unique and refined ways. An interesting experiment was carried out with tuning forks; those 2 pronged steel gadgets that ring/resonate a selected frequency whenever you strike it?

We’ve reviewed a number of the best at-home canine allergy testing kits that will assist you select the right one for your canine.

First of all, I would like to be the primary to start Dr. Schultze's 30-day detox program. Remember, HSV1 can be transmitted to the genitals if someone is experiencing a breakout/shedding and performs oral sex on an unsuspecting partner. Wait a few months and get retested to ensure it wasn't a false positive.

Before jumping on the diagnosis of CIRS/mold sickness, make sure your practitioner has additionally carried out fundamental blood tests to rule in/out different circumstances.

I was wondering when you may shed some mild on these topics. 1) all supplements should be taken individually if possible? I’m still just a bit unclear on tips on how to use the colloidal silver.

Investigating Invisible Bugs

Most people will associate biting, stinging, & crawling feelings with bugs and not being able to see them is frustrating. So we get on the internet and begin searching for microscopic bugs or mites that are known to infect humans and cause these types of sensations.

The first logical conclusion most people reach is going to be scabies because this is where all the search engine results steer you. The symptoms and sores from scabies do look remarkably similar to Morgellons lesions, so we now are sure it's scabies.

Once we find out that it's not scabies, it's back to the internet to see what other kind of invisible bug it could possibly be. Most people at this point have probably seen hits for delusional paratosis or Morgellons Disease and those first Morgellons results that are returned all consider this to be a psychological disease which basically translates to delusional paratosis, and because our symptoms are not psychological we too dismiss the fact that we might have Morgellons and continue searching for answers.

After discovering that doctors are either unwilling to help or would not take me seriously, I felt the only option remaining was for me to do my own research. I may not be the most intelligent person in the world, but I am pretty smart and have always been able to learn anything that I have an interest in. Over the years, I've successfully self-taught myself how to write software in 3 languages, repair electronics, and rebuild car transmissions. I am fortunate that I can read technical manuals and quickly grasp the subject nature, and although my research may not be perfect there is a lot of useful information I've assembled.

I still had a good quality binocular compound microscope with 1000x magnification from my college biology classes when I was in the pre-med program so I do have a small amount of experience and know how to properly use a microscope. I also ordered an attachment that positions a cell phone camera properly for taking pictures of microscopic specimens. If you have a microscope, I highly recommend getting one of these because you can zoom in on a microscopic image and see every last possible detail.

I will go into more detail with microscopic images in some future posts.

Oops I wrote more C virus stuff

I got super energised and spent all night drafting up a one-shot about what happens when Ashley reunites with Leon post RE6 in the C-Virus AU cannon. It’s unfinished and is very much a draft, but I’m excited so I wanted to post what I have so far. I intend on compiling a bunch of these together and putting them up as chapters on AO3 and Fanfic.net once they’re edited, featuring various different characters.

You came this far just to become a Monster - The Aftermath

A brief summary: Ashley visits Leon while he’s stuck in quarantine. It gets a bit emotional.

I’m assuming the President in RE6 was the same in RE4 despite the uh long time difference between the two games. It’s 9 years and I’m Australian so I know nothing about American politics but I think a president can only serve 8 years in one stint so uh maybe he’d just been elected in 4 and was just running out of time before he died in 6? I’m rolling with that for the sake of my head-cannon/AU storylines. It makes sense given Leon was described as being good friends with him, and we can assume the friendship started once he got Ashley back home safely after the events of 4.

Given Ashley was 19/20 during RE4 she should be 28/29 post RE6 depending on her birthday.

The conversation with Hunnigan echoed in her mind as she walked down the labs corridor.

“While pursuing Chief Security Advisor Simmons, Leon became infected with the C Virus. He’s OK, don’t worry. It’s just we’re still running tests to make sure he’ll stay ok.

I know the report I gave you didn’t have much to go on in it, I’m sorry. I wasn’t allowed to provide you with much more information. You’ll just have to wait until you can see him for yourself.

He’s happy to talk with you, you can go down to the labs today if you’d like.”

“He’s happy to talk? You mean I can’t see him?”

The warm smile was betrayed by the sorrow in Hunnigan’s eyes.

“He’s still adjusting to everything. He’s spoken to a couple of our doctors and he’s dealing with a lot of internal negative emotions right now, about what people think of him. I don’t think the tests are helping.”

Hunnigan reached out and gently held Ashley’s hand, squeezing it lightly.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be happy to have you visit. It’s what he really needs right now. Trust me.”

Standing outside the viewing room door, holding her keycard at the ready, she steeled herself. The way the security staff described the setup, Leon had access to a shutter system on the viewing window, giving him control over how and when visitors can see him. It allowed him much needed privacy given his life since coming home was endless tests and scans and scientists.

Tapping her card against the reader, the light flicked green and she heard the lock release. Pressing down on the cold handle, she slipped inside. There was a small coffee table near the viewing window, the shutter was down. A few chairs were on the far wall, she pulled one up to the window and sat down. On the table there was a remote control, it looked custom made for the setup. It only had a handful of buttons, the most important of which was a ‘call’ button that she was told would alert Leon that someone was in the room, and a ‘mic on’ button. The room had an inbuilt microphone and speaker system to allow comfortable communication even if large groups were there.

It felt uncomfortably sterile. Worse than a hospital. She looked up to the top left corner of the room, where a security camera stared back. She was also told Leon had access to the feed. She wondered if he was watching now? Hunnigan said she’d call ahead. Was he waiting for her to do something first? Would he be upset that she was so hesitant?

Shaking off the feeling she hit both buttons on the controller and flashed a smile and a wave towards the security camera, for good measure.

A moment passed before she heard a light clicking sound on the intercom, before a voice emerged.

“Ashley, hey…”

She was surprised that he sounded so… Normal. She wasn't sure what she expected, no one had given her any information other than that he’d been infected but he hadn’t lost his mind. There was an extensive report written about the events that went down, she’d been able to convince the BSAA to let her read a copy of it but it was heavily redacted. Particularly the parts pertaining to Leon.

“It’s… good to see you.”

She was relieved to hear the sincerity in his voice, despite how slightly rough around the edges he sounded. He was Leon, that hadn’t changed. But she could tell he was different all the same.

“It’s good to, uh, hear you, haha..”

Her feet shuffled, she started bouncing one leg. Looking longfully at the window glass with the shutter still closed. She was fine with phone calls but this was making her nervous. It hadn’t been that long ago that they’d last spoke, that they’d last caught up in person.

“I’m sorry, about your dad. I’m sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral. I’m sorry for everything, Ashley.”

“It’s ok, Leon. You did everything you could.”

Despite the lack of contact, the uncomfortable fog in the room was palpable for both parties. Her leg bouncing rate increased. Shuffling could be heard over the intercom speaker. They each heard the pain in the other’s voice. The wound was still fresh and very deep.

Not wanting to have that conversation to a wall, Ashley attempted to change the subject.

“So how are you holding up? I mean with the tests and everything. Hunnigan said you shouldn't have to be in isolation much longer.”

“Uhh yeah… It’s fine. I’m doing fine.”

She let out a small sigh.

“You can’t bullshit me, Leon.”

Silence.

“You’ve been stuck inside that room for almost three months now. You must be tired of it, and lonely.”

She paused, before continuing.

“When I got back from Europe after you rescued me, they kept me in isolation for precautionary testing for two weeks. They were paranoid I guess. I know for you they didn’t need long to clear you of any issues. Those two weeks were the worst of my life.”

“Worse than being injected with a mind-controlling parasite?” he joked back.

“Much, much worse.” she playfully replied, “I didn’t have a strong, capable, and handsome government agent to save me from a bunch of creepy scientists in hazmat suits.”

She heard what sounded like a muffled laugh. A smile crossed her face.

“Unfortunately for me the only ‘strong, capable, and handsome’ government agent I know is limited to Visitors on Wednesdays only.”

This made Ashley giggle suddenly, the first time she’d properly and genuinely laughed since before the C-Virus incident even occurred.

“When I came home, Dad was so worried. He just wanted to make sure I was gonna be ok. He was always so busy and worked so hard. He just wanted to make sure he could change something for the positive. In the end you made sure that happened. You and Helena.”

A tear rolled down her cheek and gently dropped off her chin. Followed by another.

“I’d known Simmons for just about my whole life, he’d had family dinners with us, we’d visit his house frequently. Dad had confided in him about so much I just… I can’t believe he’d betray us like that. I can’t believe he would be so selfish.”

The tears were making it hard for her to see, her words were mixed in with sharp breaths as she began to sob.

“He killed dad and all those people, after everything, he just fucking killed him and killed everyone else and burned it to the ground all for what!! And now he’s gone and I don’t know what to do, Leon I just don’t know what to fucking do!”

She cried for a moment, letting the anger and the grief flow. Purging her system, letting it out. As she started to calm down she pulled a packet of tissues from her bag, to clean her face.

“I want to make a difference. I want to do something, like dad did.” she said slowly through strained breaths.

“I never want to feel helpless and small ever again. After you rescued me in Europe, after everything you did to stop Simmons, I want to do something for the world too.”

She glanced up at the security camera, as if it would respond back somehow. Hoping he was watching.

“You and dad made me realise what I wanted to do with my life, what I cared most about. I even changed my college degree to International Relations when I got home but I mean, you already know that. Now with the BSAA here, I’ve asked Hunnigan if she can help me shift my career slightly, and work with you and everyone else here.”

“Really? You want to work for the BSAA?”

She nodded, not knowing if he could even see. Taking the moment to have a drink from her water bottle to gather herself.

“... I’ll put in a personal recommendation, if they’re still accepting those from me after everything.”

“Thank you Leon, I’m sure they will.” Ashley smiled.

“Well if they let me do anything, once the tests are cleared, I’d like to go visit your old man with you. If you don’t mind. I couldn’t be there for the funeral so… “

“Of course Leon,” she wiped a tear from her eye, “I’d love that. I’m sure dad would too.”

“I think you’d be great here, we need more people like you Ashley.”

“Of course, someone needs to be around to stop you getting into more trouble right?”

She was hoping for a smart ass response, a laugh, a quip, something. Her comment was met with silence. Her heart sank.

“What happened to you, Leon?”

He avoided responding, she could hear more slight shuffling noises.

“I know you feel uncomfortable, god knows I would too. Everyone’s talking about you, saying you’re a hero. You and all the others that worked together to stop the C-Virus from spreading. You saved people's lives.”

“... I don’t think you’d be calling me that if you could see me right now.”

The most she’d gotten to read about the effects of the virus on him were small comments about carapace and ‘external structural changes’. In all honestly she had no idea what he looked like, if he was even recognisable. She didn’t really know how to ask, besides the fact she really only knew Hunnigan well enough to be confident posing the question.

“I wouldn’t know. No one’s shown me any photos of you. I have no idea.”

He was silent again.

“But you’re still you, in the end. Does it matter what you look like?”

“It does when you look like a monster.”

She recoiled slightly at the tone of his voice.

“When I was in China, when it happened. It didn’t really matter to me. People's lives were at stake, Simmons was out there, I embraced it in the moment because I couldn't let people down. I needed to do something. I couldn't just give up and avoid facing the world. But now? I’m stuck in this cell and every few days I get more needles poked into me and more scans and more people asking me stupid fucking questions and I just.”

He paused suddenly. Breathing for a few moments.

“I can’t deal with all of this. I’m as good as a lab animal now. And why would anyone think any differently if they saw what I’ve become.”

“C’mon, don’t say that.”

Suddenly the shutter began to move upwards, a brighter light from the room beyond the glass spilling in. It took Ashley a moment to adjust before she could fully stare at the figure sitting opposite her.

“If you were in trouble and the thing that came to help you looked like this, would you still call it a hero?”
