I’ve seen a couple of people ask “Why didn’t they ever finish making a vaccine?” in regards to Kipo S3. I think you guys are forgetting what a vaccine is. Vaccines don’t reverse a disease or help you if you already have it, they just prevent you from getting the disease if you are exposed. The idea of the vaccine in Kipo was to prevent mutes from being “cured” if they were exposed to the cure, but it doesn’t help those that were already cured.

Honestly I don’t think there was a way to reverse it. Mutes are mutations of animals we know today. The cure removed the mutations from their DNA and put them back in their “original” form. I don’t know a ton about biology but I imagine it would be very difficult to ADD a mutation to someone’s DNA in the exact same way to change them back. I think it’s likely that Camille, Yumyan and all those others that got changed are stuck that way.

Also for the people thinking "yeah but Song and Lio already know how to turn animals into mute cause they did it to Hugo". Yeah they knew how to turn normal animals. Not mutes turned into normal animals. Once Emilia's cure was into their veins it change everything, Song's formula wouldn't have worked.

And no she couldn't have make research to find a way to turn them back, look at how they found the first one. Song and Lio hated how Emilia forced them to test 3 formulas on Hugo everyday, it was super dangerous and straight up animal abuse. They wouldn't have done it again if they had a choice, even to help mutes.

Sorry I’m on Anon I’m shy but I have a special interest in biology and I’ve been thinking about the same thing. You are right that a vaccine would be to prevent it and that altering dna is much more difficult however given that they already figured out a formula to turn Hugo from a normal mandrill to a mute and that the animal version of yumyan remembered the things he loved before the “cure” I think that in universe it’s completely plausible.

Hmm you’re right! I did totally forget that they’ve done it before with Hugo.

Fan art AND fun. lyrics? Is it 2012?

Catradora possesses my every waking thought and every time I hear the song The Gambler I cry thinking about them. I’m very bad at drawing and have never quite passed the “do exactly what they do” stage of using a reference so if this looks like a screen grab it’s bc it basically is lol. If anyone who is actually good at drawing would like to do a better job at this, please do, I would love to see it!!

What’re you doing sitting around there’s 24 hrs in the day that means you could watch Over The Garden Wall 10 times hop to it.

Me every time Catra and Adora even looked at each other in season 5: now kiss lol

Me during the finale: oh my god what the FUCK IS HAPPENING

[macncheeseablearchived]

Imagine:

Your house catches on fire. You grab your kids and run across the street to your neighbors yard. Your neighbor then shoots you and your kids for invading their property.

“What monster would put their kids in that situation?” People say.

“Their neighbors in the other half of their duplex offered to let them stay. It wasn’t on fire yet, and beggars can’t be choosers,” the news stations complain.

“If they had filled out the proper paperwork and contracted a rent ageement with the people across the street to allow them to stay in the yard this wouldn’t have happened,”‬ says the police chief.

Honestly every time a man shows any interest in me I panic so I kind of think maybe I’m going to give up on dating men and maybe people in general

When Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson fight I feel like I just got into an argument with my best friend

Fun fact:

I’ve voted 3 times now but this was the first election I’ve cast my ballot in where the candidate/referendum I voted for has won

Long post about different views on insurance

So I had a talk with my mom (a conservative) about the new healthcare bill and I realized one of the issues with America’s divisions over healthcare is how you view insurance. Now my mom, and many like her, has the view that you’re paying into a system so you can get something out when you need it. It’s like an emergency fund. You pay $10,000 a year so if you need a surgery that costs $10,000 you’ve given the insurance that money and they’ll give it back. Now of course sometimes you pay more into the system and sometimes you pay less into the system but the general idea is you’re paying for YOUR future needs. On the other hand, this is how health insurance was explained to me when I took a class on the healthcare system last year (I’m majoring in Healthcare Management). So an insurance company agrees to insure a group of people. Let’s say for our example there’s 20 people they’re insuring, and insurance costs $10,000 every year. Now the insurance company assumes 5 of those 20 people are going to get sick, and treating that sickness will cost $20,000 each. The insurance is fine with that because they’re getting $200,000 and having to pay $100,000 out so they still make a pretty nice profit. In this way of looking at it, you’re not an individual paying for your future needs. You’re a person paying into a pool that will cover whoever gets sick this year. Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s not. But collectively everyone’s paying for everyone else’s healthcare. This is why until she explained her view of the insurance system it was so confusing to me why she felt people with pre-existing conditions should have way higher premiums. Now my mom herself has epilepsy, a pre-existing condition. She feels because she would cost the insurance company more money than her premium cost she needed to be paying more for her fair share. Which when you look at insurance the way she does absolutely makes sense, it would be like putting $200 in your bank account and then withdrawing $2,000. Your bank would be bankrupt in a week. But when you look at it the other way you realize healthy people around her should be offsetting her cost because of the community pool. I’ve also seen lots of people online who have these conflicting views of how insurance works and I’ve seen people trying to argue with them that have another view and they don’t realize what the other is trying to say. It’s part of the reason some people just don’t understand single payer at all. So I guess I just wanted to put this out there even though it’s not actually super useful information. But I would really suggest everyone research a lot of information about our healthcare system and insurance and now pre-existing conditions worked before 2011 and other stuff, it’s really interesting. And as always feel free to ask me questions, I’m more than happy to answer them!

Bringing this post back because it has been shown again lately how some people (including people in our government apparently) don’t understand that health insurance isn’t just a fancy expensive savings fund.
