this broken leg experience has made me realize how much muscle you need just to move around the house. I can walk without the cast now, but squatting to pick something up? kneeling and then rising? even standing for a long period in the kitchen takes a lot. and carrying things too, that’s something I couldn’t do while hopping about on crutches. every night I’ve been going to sleep with sore legs and arms just from performing my normal non-intensive household tasks.

Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)
I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms
yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.
mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?
the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

Hey y'all, weird question time again! I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but asking anyway:
If you are having severe muscle cramps/knots/tension all over your body and go to a doctor/urgent care/hospital for them, assuming the doctor believes it's something that needs treatment, the only things they can give you are anti-inflammatories, pain relief, muscle relaxers, or like an IV to rehydrate you if it turns out to be caused by dehydration, right?
I know those are three very broad categories of treatment, I'm not asking for specifics within those categories, just if there are options outside of them
(I am allergic to NSAIDs, already on corticosteroids for unrelated reasons, probably shouldn't have muscle relaxers or stronger pain meds for "my blood pressure looks for any excuse to crash" reasons, and am staying on top of hydration and electrolytes, but this round of muscle cramps is bad, even for me)

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]
Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind
(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])
[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

Chaos Theory AU
Claudia knows her son is different, and if she’s being honest a little strange for a child, but all children are strange in their own ways so she just finds the best ways to accommodate and love him without question.
When he learns to walk (well sprint really) before he can crawl she simply moves the things that should be out of reach of little ones a bit sooner than anticipated.
When he shows no sign of speaking, or rather wanting to as those too sharp eyes leave her with the uncanny feeling that he understands her from far younger than he should, she teaches him the signs passed down their family from when they had been nomads in the mountains who needed silence on hunts.
(He does speak eventually exactly when he is ready to. If his first word is “fuck” after he takes a tumble off of a counter, well, she at least knows that he is aware of the appropriate times for said language. Even if she has to press her lips together to keep her laughter contained and her smile hidden. Her little Storm Cloud would be incredibly put off if he believed she was laughing at him.
The two of them move between sign and speaking and back again with the kind of speed and ease that make it all but impossible for an outsider to follow along with any of their conversations. She’s pretty sure Cloud does it on purpose if the look of mischief in his mako-bright eyes is any indication. Who is she to spoil her sons fun?)
Learning how to accommodate an enhanced child who has no concept of his own strength is a bit difficult at first (there is a week where his bedroom door was replaced with a thick fur until she could get her hands on the proper materials to fix it after he had accidentally ripped the thing off it’s hinges while still blurry eyed from sleep, and more than a few awkward questions during trips to town when his ears heard entirely too much for a child his age.) but she manages with grace.
There are hiccups of course, times where she is certain she has done everything wrong. times where Cloud seems to forget he is still a child and attempts to take on the world alone more often than not getting himself hurt in the process. But he is her son, her gift from the gods, her little Storm Cloud, and Claudia would move worlds for him.
