[catominor]

did someone say sulla and his harem of guys.

(from left to right: pompey, metellus pius, crassus, sulla, lucullus)

#my art #posting this in the middle of the night when no one is online cause i just finished it but. i will reblog it again later whatever #i did something different with my sulla this time based him more on the coin portrait #i think my favorite face in this is metellus i just like his expression #since we dont know what he looked like this is mostly based on my vague recollection of the metellus image in masters of rome cause #i like it. you also get blonde pompey because of masters of rome I KNOWW controversial take but he has blonde man vibes to me so. #crassus is based on the old man maybe-crassus statue i tried to like. de-age it and based the face off that. crassus was by FAR the hardest #to like. decide on what he should look like but im alright with this crassus #lucullus is just kind of vibes based every lucullus Take ive seen has him with sort of a long thin face and i like that so. i kinda took #that into the rest of him & made him tall and thin . #oh Also . ive always interpreted sullas 'red and white complexion' as rosacea so thats the take. this drawing sadly not really my sexiest #sulla though. ill draw him again sometime. and he Will be sexier next time if i can help it.

Howdy peepers, I've been feeling pretty down lately but I think I'm on the right path to snap out of it!

See yall on monday hopefully

#to be honest recent political news got me anxious and just.. disheartened #not gonna lie rather depressed #but i guess that's a normal reaction #god it's just so awful #change of subject- i might be a bit burned out too because of all the stressing i subjected myself to this month #but worries be damned my grades ain't overall half bad #THO you just can't catch a break when it comes to college it seems #like we have to sign up for our classes on this website #based on your major obviously #and some people just don't pick the right classes hhhhh #and you see the waiting list for the class you need to sign up to is full because the goofs don't know what their course code is #which is weird like 😭 maybe there's a GOOD reason why your group mates' names aren't on the class list #because you didn't pick the right one aaaaaa #get outta here fella pleaaase #also on an unrelated note: it turns out i have a mild case of rosacea #it's not that suprising skin conditions run in the family #my mom's side of family at least #like my grandpa had rosacea. my mom has it too. my sister had acne (not anymore tho). my older brother too has something going on #i just thought i got lucky and inherited my dad's skin but guess not 💀 #funniest thing is that almost everything makes rosacea act up #heat? cold? spicy food? stress? exercise? stress? alcohol? GODDAMN SUNLIGHT??? #you name it #so yeahh not pleasant #if it won't get better mom will make an appointment with a dermatologist #uhh.. i guess that's all i wanted to say #for now at least #miss you guys hope all of you have been doing well :'> #random squeak

admittedly I did not read the rest of the questions, but number 1 is so good I stopped there. Which fic would you rewrite but keep the premise? or, which of your fics would you remix? -patrichornkissed

oh this is so easy. fuck "playoff hockey in summer time" all my homies hate "playoff hockey in summer time." if i could delete it without ceding the fact that i invented the gravy/cale tag, that fic would not be on the archive at all. however unfortunately. my possessive and insane nature cannot allow anyone else to have ownership of inventing the tag, so it remains...haunting me....making me cringe. every time i try to reread that fic it's like charlie brown did not have hoes. if cale/gravy had not died in 2021, i WOULD be tempted to rewrite it entirely. but unfortunately i'm boycotting the avs until someone says "wow it's bad to have a sex trafficker on our team", and my interests have changed and now i'm obsessed with flop ahlers, and of course the satisfaction of remixing a joyful seminal work in the cale makar canon would be necessarily weighed by gravy not being on the team anymore, and how devon toews fills a role for cale that gravy did not. AHHHHHH

it's so like 2008 bad bandom fic in execution lol but the heart of it is so good, is the thing!!!! the bones are there: the team joy!! the tension of falling in love with someone who took a spot from you!! the anxiety of the high expectations you have of yourself versus how a team sees you as replaceable!! how you cope when you're perennial scratch and the ways you make yourself useful and important and loved in a locker room of guys who are destined to be superstars when AT BEST you stick around for a couple years!! and like -- the way there's just such an undercurrent of love and hope for the characters throughout and how it was written at a very specific point in avs history AND kasper history when i just had such bright eyes about hockey and hadn't really been beaten down by the reality of the culture and the avs were coming out of a bad season and things were starting to change for the better. like that's all really good! those are lovely emotions and lovely narrative beats to want to capture!! unfortunately i executed it all very badly and so now i just grit my teeth every time i look at my stats page.

but yes. that would be the fic i want to remix. every other fic i don't like i either just delete or i hide, but that one will probably remain visible until the archive collapses under its own hubris, at which point i will be finally free of sin 🫡

#also i have talked kind of obliquely how i got into hrpf the year after my dad died #and the kind of narrative arc of the avs followed the trajectory of healing for me culminating in a cup win #and how a win was a relief and a relief was a win etc etc. and not getting into my complicated relationship with the avs and The Culture #bc that's not a conversation i'm interested in having publicly BUT LIKE. it's kind of a milestone fic when you look at the #trajectory of my involvement in hrpf and it's like. UGH. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE WHAT MADE IT GOOD WHEN IT WAS GOOD #incredibly funny that the first avs fic i wrote was calegravy and probably the last avs fic i write at least for a while is caledevon #and they're both playoff fics #hell yeah cale get yours #your rosacea swag has captured the front range urban corridor... #cage replies #patrichornkissed

So like. Gentle mentiom in case you ever have rosacea like me: inflammatory rosacea, the one with redness and bumps and pastules that Look Like Acne

So like. Yes it looks like acne. But putting on salycic acid or the typical skin drying acne fighter sometimes makes Your skin break out even more. Why? Not sure, im not a dermatologist. But the short of it is: rosacea skin is sensitive, it flares up from MANY things just Anything irritating it, and acne fighting products often (you guessed it) irritate skin. Thats why for example people get told whrn using acne fighters like for retinol, differin, chemical exfoliators, to also moisturize. To maybe not use them daily, so you dont increase skin irritation, so you dont increase dryness, so your skin barrier isnt compromised. But basically: they can be irritating on the most ordinary skin, and their use needs to be tempered to an amount that helps but doesnt irritate enough to damage skin barrier, on ordinary skin. So on rosacea? Hahahahha. Haaaa.

Well i made the mistake of using a drying incredient 2 times,daily, skin started getting redder, more acne, and eventually peeling (vitamin c). To be fair, at first vitamin c was lowering redness, and lowering my acne. But i used too much in too frequent a period and go figure, damaged my skin barrier. Made clear by my rosacea being worse and me now breaking out and getting irritated by even my safe products.

(As a side note, if you have inflammatory rosacea thats red and Also has that acne looking bumps ans pastules? A lot of the antibiotics dermatologists give, seem to work better for our kind of "looks like acne" rather than typical acne products. I cant tolerate harsh shit so the popular M starting antibiotic cream for rosacea made me wayyyy worse. But clyndamycin lotion for rosacea is what im on now, its very gentle, and does lower redness and "looks like acne" bumps and stuff i get. So if you can get ahold of thqt stuff? Idk seems to work fairly gently and well on rosacea "looking like acne.")

I am now putting only water on a clean face to make damp, then a thin coat of vaseline, once a day. Within 2 days the redness and skin peeling is gone. So wooh, skin barrier is on track to feel fine again relatively soon. My redness,was already down significantly (until the vitamin c overdoing it increased redness, "rosacea acne" and skin peeling) so my redness is mostly down as well. I think most of my redness is still due to the skin barrier being irritated. I think once irritation calms down, hopefully, ill be able to use my old products i like again.

But the short of it is: if you have rosacea and start getting worse/arent getting any improvement, consider if youre using qnything harsh? Cause my first attempt to stop the "acne" and redness from too much vit c drying me out, was salycic acid for acne and differin. Cause for non rosacea, on regular acne, that would solve massive amounts of pimple breakouts right? But on me, since im getting acne more from rosacea and skin irritation having increased? Well of course the acne stuff like salycic acid made me even worse ToT

#rant #my health woes #rosacea #and yes i know i probs spelled salycic acid wrong. its qhatever that common acne treatment is #i have OFTEN made my breakouts worse by treating them according to acne advielce #but lol. i have rosacea. acne advice makes me break out worse ToT #then i wonder: why is nothing working #until i fucking remember my skin does NOT want any irritants!!! acne medicine is the exact opposite of what it needs! #it needs a #break and nothing harsh and ideally low irritant moisturizer if it can tolerate it ToT !!!

This blanket is going to kill me and/or drive me insane; we shall see what comes first

#dove rambles #i have 7 squares of what the last round should be #SHOULD BE SHOULD BEING THE KEY WORD #and my rosacea is flaring up atm so i feel like a warm strawberry #i have 2 months before i really need to finish it but i just want to power through it #blanket; heyyyy you won't have pretty much any time for your other hobbies or to really interact with anyone <3 #me; ... i hate you. you would fit into the sad beige mom aesthetic even though i really do like the design and colour scheme of you

UNDERSTANDING ACNE: TYPES, CAUSES, AND SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT

INTRODUCTION :

Millions of people throughout the world suffer with acne, a prevalent skin problem. Acne can last far into maturity, despite the fact that it’s frequently linked to puberty. The definition of acne, its numerous kinds, underlying causes, symptoms, variables influencing its prevalence, and successful treatments are all covered in this in-depth medical article. Let’s investigate this skin issue.

DEFINITION OF ACNE :

Acne, medically known as acne vulgaris, is a chronic skin disorder primarily characterized by the development of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and, in more severe cases, cysts and nodules. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and the formation of blemishes.

TYPE OF ACNE :

Comedonal Acne: This type includes non-inflammatory acne with the formation of comedones, such as blackheads and whiteheads.

Inflammatory Acne: Characterized by redness, swelling, and pus-filled pimples, it includes papules and pustules.

Cystic Acne: The most severe form, cystic acne results in painful, deep-seated cysts and nodules that often leave scars.

CAUSES OF ACNE :

Acne is caused by a number of factors, including:

Sebum Overproduction : Sebum, or skin oil, overproduction can clog pores.

Bacterial : Growth: Bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) thrive in congested follicles.

Inflammation : The development of lesions is influenced by irritation and inflammation of the hair follicles.

Hormonal Fluctuations : Sebum production can be induced by hormonal fluctuations, which are frequently experienced during adolescence, pregnancy, and menstruation.

Diet : For certain people, dairy products and high-glycemic diets might make acne worse.

Genetics : A history of acne in the family may make someone more susceptible.

COMMON SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ACNE INCLUDE :

· Open comedones (blackheads)

· Closed comedones known as whiteheads

· Papules (tiny, crimson lumps)

· pustules (lesions filled with pus)

· Cysts (huge, uncomfortable tumors filled with pus)

· Nodules (agonizing, hard bumps)

· Redness and swelling

WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE MORE EXPOSED TO ACNE THAN OTHERS?

The following elements affect each person’s susceptibility :

· The influence of genetic predisposition is substantial.

· The production of sebum may increase as a result of hormonal changes.

· Humidity and pollution are two environmental elements that may aggravate acne.

· Diet, especially items high in glycemic index and dairy, can affect how severe it is.

· Acne formation may be influenced by skin care practices and product selection.

FOODS THAT CAN AGGRAVATE ACNE INCLUDE :

Foods with a high glycemic index : such as white bread, sugary cereals, and processed snacks, can cause blood sugar levels to jump, which in turn causes an increase in sebum production and inflammation.

Dairy Products : Some research indicate a connection between dairy consumption and acne, particularly skim milk. Dairy consumption can worsen skin conditions and affect hormonal changes.

Foods that are fried or greasy : By stimulating the production of more oil, fried foods like French fries and fried chicken can exacerbate acne.

Chocolate : Although the connection between chocolate and acne is not entirely known, some people may discover that consuming too much of it makes their skin problem worse.

Candy, soda, and sweet desserts can cause blood sugar to surge and may be a factor in acne flare-ups.

FOODS THAT MAY HELP WITH ACNE:

Fruits and veggies : Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can help lower inflammation and improve general skin health by supplying antioxidants.

Fatty fish : Omega-3 fatty acids, which are present in salmon, mackerel, and sardines, have anti-inflammatory effects and may be good for the skin.

Nuts and Seeds : Vital elements like zinc and vitamin E, which are crucial for the health of the skin, may be found in almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds.

Whole Grains : To help regulate blood sugar levels, choose whole grains such brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread over processed grains.

Green Tea : Green tea is high in antioxidants and has been linked in several studies to better skin health.

Probiotics : By enhancing gut health, the probiotics in fermented foods like yogurt and kefir may also benefit skin.

Keep in mind that every person will experience food’s effects on acne differently. It’s crucial to pay attention to how your diet affects your skin and consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice and acne management.

TYPES OF ACNE MEDICATIONS:

Topical retinoids: These derivatives of vitamin A help in pore cleaning and inflammation reduction.

Topical antibiotics: Creams or gels with antibiotics can kill P. acnes bacteria.

Oral antibiotics: To treat severe cases of inflammation, doctors may prescribe oral antibiotics.

Oral contraceptives: Hormonal birth control helps control fluctuations in hormone levels.

Isotretinoin (Accutane): This medication lowers sebum production and is only used in severe, treatment-resistant conditions.

CONCLUSION :

Finally, understanding the description, types, causes, symptoms, and treatment options for acne is critical for effectively treating this widespread skin problem. Even though genetics and hormonal factors might contribute, acne can be effectively managed and treated with the right skincare, a healthy diet, and medication. Consult a dermatologist if you have severe or persistent acne for individualized advice and treatment choices catered to your unique requirements.

We hope to help anyone looking to effectively treat acne by addressing all of these significant aspects of this condition.

Today was a supremely crappy day, so I ordered myself an early birthday present (by like two weeks but still) and it should come right around my actual birthday, and I was going to do it anyways after I got birthday money but you know

Kind of just been a crappy little while, I’ve been working on my gender playlist to help and since I have a feeling I’ll be under my weighted blanket most of tomorrow maybe I’ll post the current version of it. Might even explain some of the songs if I feel up to it.

Anyways doctors fucking suck and I already knew this but being told over and over there’s nothing actually wrong really fucking wears on me. Maybe if we just stopped trying to diagnose me for something I don’t fit and look at the whole picture… but that would make sense wouldn’t it?

#ravenpuff rambles #I simply do not think anyone should have to fight to get a diagnosis for literally anything #it’s so tiring #for like 2 years non stop I’ve been dealing with this shit #first at the dermatologist with my eczema being dismissed over and over again as nothing #and also having to fight that man to give me a rosacea diagnosis when I had all the very clear symptoms of it #(but what do I know not like I live here) #and now #now I’m in this fight over my pain #which is leading into a fight to all my other issues #you know maybe my pain my memory issues my constant brain fog and insomnia #you know maybe they’re all fucking connected #I know it’s possible!! I even know that’s it’s probably likely #but no let’s again try treatments for the same thing that it was already determined I don’t have just because I’m young #and my pain fluctuates every day (which is normal btw. pain isn’t always consistent) #when I once again prove to another doctor it’s not carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis which means they actually have to look for an answer #I don’t know if I’m going to laugh or cry about being right #I do know I left the doctor pissed about not being taken seriously #but I know that’s how it goes so at least I kept my cool inside
