part 2 of josua byman related crafts:
the silly is coming along nicely but he's currently in the phase "josua if he was attacked by the witch who makes people bald"
(he turned about twice as big as i planned and now i have no idea where i will put him)
i procrastinated waaay to long on giving him hair bc sewing is my mortal enemy, but he is finally finished!!!!!!!
my baby 💕💕
This is not like a fully completed thought but yk
So I've done my first aid + CPR a few times. And every single time I try and bring up scenarios for fat folks
Specifically like 'what if someone is too large for me to wrap my arms around then to do the heimleich'
And its incredibly rare I get a decent answer.
How absolutely insane is it that me, as a fat person, is asking how to have MY life saved or to save ANOTHER life, is an impossible feat if someone is fat.
Most of the time they tell me to 'just try anyways uwu'
There has got to be a better option.
From a first aid and CPR trainer, who is also fat.
The heimleich is scientifically as effective as slapping someone VERY hard on the back. The only reason it's so well taught is the man that invented it did a lot of great PR for himself. It's also a bit easier for smaller framed people to get the necessary force in, because people are often extremely scared to hurt people, even in life threatening situations.
With larger bodied people, whether they be fat, tall, muscular, etc. If you cannot get your arms around them, literally just slap the shit out of their shoulders. You want hard, open palmed slaps right in the center of the shoulders or slightly below.
If they are too tall for you to reach that high, guide them to lean over the back of a chair, and then slap slap slap slap slap.
It's been proven to be just as effective through many studies. It just doesn't have a trademarked name and a dramatic effect in film.
If you have to do CPR on a larger bodied person, again, fat, body builder, tall and broad, whoever, the trick to finding where you want to put your hands if going to be to take your hand and shove it in their armpit. No seriously. Put your hand in their armpit, then drag it in a straight line towards yourself until you're in the center of the chest, then put your other hand beneath that one. This is where you push. Then you are going to move the arm closest to you out of the way so you can get closer to them, and get the leverage you need to press down for compressions. The more of your body weight that is over your hands, the better the compression will be. Act like you are trying desperately to pack the last of your clothes in a suitcase, and just slam down hard on their chest.
They will make *horrible* noises. You might even break ribs.
But a broken rib is better than being dead.
One day, perhaps, other CPR and First Aid instructors will actually know and teach this shit. But the medical field is filled with people who don't know, don't care, or just outright hate fat people. So while this information won't fix your complaint, I do hope it helps someone out there with saving their loved ones, should it ever be needed.
Information that will save lives.

my love for kaj's music and their musicals have infiltrated basically every aspect of my life. i looooove when i get a new hyperfixation cuz they always motivate me to create.
case in point: i spent 3 days cross stitching this litte josua from gambämark 🥹
(a crochet version of the little guy is also in progress my family thinks i have a problem)
(not that obvious that it's him, but the vest is good enough indication)
never would've thought that out everything, vörjeans would be the one to get me out of my worst art block yet, but beggars can't be choosers
anyways, here's määnin mannerheim
No woman in the Bible had mental stability and that’s how I know I’m on the right track.
watching newlynova's "my favourite books of 2024" compelled me to give half a soul by olivia atwater a try. fast forward literally two days and I've consumed basically all of atwater's writing career and have fallen hopelessly in love with elias wilder and lord blackthorn.
Anyways, if you enjoy magic, criticizing the rich and powerful, and some pining and fluffy romance then you've got to read the regency faerie tales ಥ‿ಥ
another reason i would recommend half a soul: there's a character named lady mourningwood and i found that insanely funny

Just finished reading the shades of magic trilogy and i fear i need to kms
Was it really necessary to take away Holland's powers just to have him die alone in the end?
At first i thought he died right when he used the inheritor and i stand by that he should've
I can see why the author chose to have him die but im a sucker for a happy ending and an absolute crybaby
Anyways 10/10 would recommend, did cry, will cry again
I have a lot of feelings about Holland's ending.
Putting aside my own disgruntlement over Schwab's "White London's renewal required a selfless sacrifice" statement, when Holland has been doing exactly that for most of his life and I really don't think him arguably suiciding is the selfless act she thinks it is-
My own interpretation (with the caveat that I'm still due for a reread) is that once Holland used the inheritor, he was dying. Maybe staying in Red London, a world overflowing with magic, could keep him alive longer but he hates that world and it hates him. So choosing to go back to White London, a home he loves despite the harm it's done, is dying on his own terms.
I can't really picture Holland falling in the midst of battle to be satisfying, even if we got to see his dying thoughts. And the only one who might care about a respectful burial is Kell and last time he tossed him into Black London, so Holland couldn't even go out assured of that unless he got a dying promise out of him. To die in the Silver Wood, a place of magic that meant so much to him and where he found a purpose with Vortalis, adds to the meaning of his death (beyond sacrificing for Arnes) and directly enables the healing of White London's magic.
On a narrative level, it makes sense. It works with his story. Holland living would leave a lot of unknowns regarding White London: would he claim the throne again, would he even be able to keep it, and if he wandered off instead what would he be doing while presumably another tyrant came along? His death makes for a cleaner arc, since a second trilogy probably wasn't a certainty then. And Fragile Threads of Power examines the fallout in White London in interesting ways, his death reviving his world and having an heir in Kosika.
But yes, there is absolutely room for an *AU where Holland survives and has to figure out what to do with himself and learning to live and recover when he isn't being manipulated or controlled. Plus with his story already being 80% suffering, he really could have used a more hopeful ending when every other lead character does.
*A story arc I am hoping to eventually get to with Beacon-verse.
You articulated this perfectly and i completely agree with you, my attachments simply cloud my judgement and im prone to accepting plot holes if that means my favourite characters are okay lmao
But yeah it does make sense and i really appreciate that you took the time to share your opinion <333
Fuck, just had a hell of a Holland realization, which everyone else probably realized years ago but indulge my horror: The Danes have their stone statue garden of traitors. And the only thing we've ever seen in WL that can turn people to stone is As Staro. The command Holland used to kill his fucking brother. The idea of him having to replicate that kill over and over with the traitors the Danes wanted to make sharpest examples of, and then walk past those kills every fucking day? I have nothing else to say except it's a fucking crime Holland didn't get the same sort of triumphant, bloody fight against the Danes Lila got against the earth mage who tried to kill her in the tournament, because to say he deserved it so much more is the flimsiest possible understatement.

REBLOG IF ITS OKAY TO TALK TO YOU.
Please.
a quick little bakugo doodle for the public
As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
