I have watched the Discovery and Netflix docs about the Oceangate Titan sub over 10x between the two.

I have a problem.

My weekend isn't long enough to watch them another 10x

Art by the fantastic stjepan sejic/ nebezial/ shiniez ( @stjepansejic  on Twitter) who did this art for Byf’s video Thorn and the Last Word. If you haven’t watched the video, it’s basically an audiobook of those lore pages with some really haunting voice acting. Also … glorious art of Dredgen Yor.

In his strong hand, the man held a rose …

Apparently I badly want to go on my “stop making fun of plague doctors, they were ahead of their time and doing the best they could with the primitive equipment they had available” rant.

[jessielefey]

They weren’t stupid.

They shoved herbs in their breathing hose because they knew the air was bad and hoped it would help, and *they were right* in theory. The plague itself was not an airborn virus, but they couldn’t know that and it wasn’t the only thing killing people at the time anyway, and they covered *all* their bases. If they’d had the technological knowhow to make air tanks, or even better air filters, they would’ve. They just made the best air filters they could.

What we think they wore isn’t exactly what they wore, and what they actually wore would later be repurposed into scuba suits (and thus spacesuits too) and *actual hazmat suits*, because the theory was sound, the materials were just lacking, and honestly what they did with the materials they had was hardcore.

they wore full face protection which avoids the most obvious mucosal transmission routes

INCLUDING GLASS IN THE EYEHOLES. They invented safety goggles before most of the world had nailed down corrective eye glasses yet

they wore additional head protection to cover seams in their mask/hoods

they oiled and waxed all their clothes to make it fluid-resistant

they wore separate but tight fitting equally if not more fluid-resistant gloves and/or armcuffs so they could keep hand contamination to a minimum even when dressing/undressing AND they only wore the suit in areas they thought was contaminated and took it off before entering uncontaminated areas

they may have used herbed vinegar to clean, and if the stories are true this was clever because 1) it’s available and portable 2) pretty effective as far as medieval disinfectants go versus the damage it does the the user (as opposed to what they had for bleach at the time, and the actual percentage level in alcohols at the time which was mostly insufficient for task as well as being needed for more important things); vinegar is *still* a decent disinfectant even now

It honestly took doctors well into the twentieth century to get that level of obsessive attention to hygiene and cross-contamination back. A whole lot of babies and mothers wouldn’t’ve died, for instance, if a plague doctor instead of an obstetrician supported the birth because A PLAGUE DOCTOR WOULD KNOW TO WASH THEIR GODDAMNED HANDS.

Actual plague doctor’s outfits:

[jessielefey]

Who was responsible for turning plague doctors into laughingstocks instead of primative but honoured medical and scientific predecessors anyway?

Was it the Victorians? It was probably the Victorians. Those pretentious sanctimonious jerks ruined everything.

#i did not realize people made fun of plague doctors #ive mostly seen people freaked out by the aesthetic #they always seemed to me like a bittersweet example of humanity scared shitless #and still trying really really hard #i’d get very poetic about it #sometimes its a stare out the window and empathize with plague doctors kind of day and that’s just how it is #that’s just how growing up is #i feel like thanks victorians is a strong contender for thanks obama’s throne (tags via @cicadianrhythm)

[algrenion]

but you almost forgot one of the coolest things!! 

supposedly some plague doctors would carry hollow canes in order to check the pulse without needing to use their hands or take off their gloves? it was sort of like a very early example of a stethescope

plague boys were smart af

Got bored last week.

Started rewriting one of my Destiny 2 Fanfics. 7 Chapters into the rewrite so far.

I'm going to rewrite it all and then just update all 24 chapters.

Welcome to everyone’s favorite game no one asked for

WHAT DOES SHEPARD THING THE BG3 COMPANIONS WOULD BE IN DESTINY

Starting with the Origins.

Gale is a Warlock. Subclass doesn’t matter, he cannot land a single super. Put this man on Well and don’t let him out of sight, he’s not good at this game but he does know all of the lore.

Astarion is a Hunter. I hate to say it but it’s true. Spectral Blades Nightstalker. Refuses to swap. Absolutely useless for DPS. Don’t let him in your raid team.

Karlach is a Sunbreaker. Look at her. She’s jacked and she’s on fire. Give her a hammer and she’ll go ham.

Lae’zel is a Warlord and has no discernible class but she doesn’t need one cause she’s gonna bash your skull in with the butt of her rifle. Watch out!

Shadowheart is either a Dawnblade Warlock or a Nightstalker Hunter depending on if you go Selunite or Sharran. She is the key to all DPS phases either way, pray for her buffs or die in mystery.

As much as I wanna say Wyll is Warlock because. It’s funny. But. He’s so showy and dramatic and if you save him but don’t make him Duke he becomes a Ranger. And he looks damn good in a cowboy hat. That’s a gunslinger.

And now the not Origins.

Minthara is a paladin. So she’s a Titan. World’s angriest Sunbreaker.

Minsc is a ranger. That’s a Hunter. All rangers are Hunters.

Jaheira was a fighter/druid multiclass in the original. And also has big mama bear energy. Ursa Furiosa enjoyer. Sentinel Titan.

I don’t know enough about Halsin to have an opinion.

"craving a food means your body needs something that food can offer" now what the fuck does my body need with an ice cream

[syd-cudi]

it makes your brain happy! your body could use some joy too

[drops-of-universe]

no everyone shut up and listen. truths were said

[icannotgetoverbirds]

in all seriousness, if you're craving ice cream, it's likely that your body needs fat and carbs. If ice cream isn't an option for whatever reason, you can try to feed yourself something else with a significant amount of fat and/or carbs. You may also be dehydrated if you're craving sweets.

That said, sometimes your body and brain do genuinely just need a pick me up.

The more frequently you practice intuitive eating like this, the better you'll get at figuring out what it is that your body is asking for.

Also, a great trick is to take a look at what you're craving, note the nutritional contents (fat, carbs, protein, plant matter/fiber) and try and figure out what else sounds tasty for your particular craving. This can give you more data points to go off of. For instance, if you're craving ice cream, but a sweet roll sounds just as good, it's probably carbs your body is asking you for. That said, if you're craving ice cream and a sweet roll doesn't sound good at all BUT a bagel with strawberry cream cheese or avocado toast DOES sound good, you know it's fat you're needing.

If all you're craving is ice cream and nothing else sounds worth the effort, you may just need a low effort mood boost, which is also totally valid! This can also help you even if you can't have ice cream, because now that you know what your body actually wants, you know there are more ways to fulfill that order than the way it asked you to!
