a rushed Indian anthy piece
like to charge, reblog to cast.
This is an EXTREMELY blessed post! And accurate! When I first moved out I was so excited for my new place I slept on the floor and had my tv there and that was it. Loved it. You grow and you build and you gain and you lose. I lost that place and everything in it. Now I have a new place with new things and it’s very much home.
In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears. Nobody can come into that room unless you let them. In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study. You will love and you will heal.

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS
hi everyone. one of my worst nightmares has happened to me — my pc, which is essential for my work, has broken down and seems to be irreparable. the only option is to buy a new one, but my financial situation has been very difficult in the country that's going through the war.
commissions are one of the very few sources of income i have as a disabled person, so if you're interested/have additional questions, feel free to contact me here, on twitter or through [email protected].
in case you can't afford commissioning me but still want to show support, i have ko-fi (there's a goal to help my partner out, too).
every repost means a lot. thank you!

Tips for Writing Injuries
✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.
✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.
✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.
✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.
✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.
✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.
✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.
✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.
✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.
✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.
Adding on here from some personal knowledge of some of these:
Sometimes adrenaline wearing off makes you throw up.
"twist" or "sprain" covers everything from "oops I just tweaked it it'll be fine in a second" to "I tore my ligament asunder and now my ankle is the size of a football and will need 6-12 weeks of bedrest and after that physical therapy"
most wounds need immediate rest and, after healing, physical therapy. most doctors don't understand this and a lack of immediate rest and physical therapy is what causes chronic injuries, which are injuries that NEVER HEAL.
bones start trying to knit back together immediately upon breaking, this is why getting them set back in the right position right away is so important. Our bodies heal FAST and don't care what alignment we heal back into, see previous.
the only people who roll their joint back into socket and keep going are people who have hypermobility chronic illness and are therefore used to it. HOWEVER this doesn't mean it doesn't hurt! It just means you are forced to get used to it and figure out how to roll it back into place yourself.
Shock doesn't just apply to physical injuries, it also applies to trauma.
There are many kinds of stitches. Newer tech has stitches that stretch and move with you and also dissolve on their own. Older tech, including using regular thread like for clothing, does not. I've had both kinds and lemme tell you, those old accounts of people ripping out their stitches because they itched like crazy are not fucking lying, them fuckers drive you insane with the itching and the pulling.
Scars don't just end up over-sensitive, they can end up numb, or feeling icy, burning, itching, hot, or any number of fuckery. Nerve damage is real and lasts decades after the injury depending on whether a major nerve bundle was severed. My mouth nerves are still healing from a jaw reconstruction surgery I got in 2005.
If you pop stitches, you are likely to have nerve damage in that area that may not heal ever. Happened to me.
Not everyone scars the same. Some people have cheloid scars, but some barely scar at all--and it depends on where the injury is, how deep it is, how it was treated, whether it got infected, etc.
Most tiny wounds that are inconsequential, like if you nick yourself shaving, get mildly infected. That's where the swelling and itching comes from. Uninfected wounds don't really do that.
If you get hypothermia even once, your body actually adapts by pulling body heat (i.e. blood) into your core more! Unfortunately this means you no longer handle heat all that well. This is what is meant by "your blood thickens" when people are talking about acclimating to moving to a colder climate. I have never heard of the adaptation going the other way.
Your broken bones also scar, and you are going to feel the pain every time the barometric pressure changes for the rest of your life.
You get arthritis in the joints you use the most first.
People who do sports or otherwise push their bodies' abilities to the limit (so, fighters and performers as well) get chronic pain earlier and need replacement joints earlier. People who do the splits often need replacement hips by their forties (Prince, Katya). Athletes and performers have some of the worst chronic injuries imaginable, because they don't STOP when they get injured.
Seal Script (Zhuànshū 篆书) is the oldest form of Shufa(Chinese calligraphy) still in use today. It emerged during the Zhou Dynasty and was standardized in the Qin Dynasty. The characters are often elongated and composed of balanced, curved lines. It can look complex and retains a somewhat pictorial quality, reminding you of its origins in ancient inscriptions on bronzes and bones. In short, it's a highly artistic and historical style, often used for seals and formal inscriptions. OP is writing the Chinese idiom "能歌善舞neng ge shan wu" describes a person who is both a skilled singer and an elegant dancer. (cr 云舒先生)
