hope you don’t mind me answering this on my nuz blog!

so, a huge rotation in a gijinkalocke comic! i’m going to be honest - this really isn’t a problem i’ve personally experienced. my play style for nuzlockes is very much “settle on 6 pokemon and don’t switch anyone off the team except for death.” and so its rare for me to box someone or have rotations of teammates.

it’s definitely a tricky thing. you could portray it as temporary/casual team members who leave and rejoin the team as they have time, or as a larger organization that sends teammates out away from the team to do other tasks? i think the key thing about it is figuring out reasons why teammates would need to constantly be leaving and returning - which i think will depend on how you set up your world and league!

sorry i can’t be of more help than that o|-< it really is an issue im inexperienced with, haha. best of luck though!!

hi, found your reblog of the "suffering is not noble" post and noticed it was sort of recent. i hope it's okay i ask a question tangently related to it?

ive always heard that taking painkillers regularly makes the body resistant to the drug over time, and everything ive learned in school (im studying biology, but not the medical side. im going into zoology) has supported this. i dont doubt that that's probably true, but what ive ALSO always heard is that thats dangerous so it's better to save the pain meds for flare ups and unexpected pains. the post made me realize i dont actually know if thats true or not

do you know the truth?

first point for everyone: i'm not a medical doctor and none of this is specific medical advice, i'm a research scientist thru and thru, i'll never pretend i know the One and Only Truth of The Universe, and i especially won't do so with pain. pain is an incredibly individual experience to each person.

pain is a fascinatingly complex topic, and even more so when you're trying to answer "how do you treat this". facet 1: pain is INCREDIBLY important. pain is your internal danger and damage signal. people who cannot feel pain die young and often horribly from injuries they didn't realize they had. facet 2: how you define pain is incredibly important for how you will treat pain. us pain scientists conceptualize pain as a multitude of signals coming together: sensation, emotion, attention, etc.

on the pharmacological side, we have to think about how a drug does A Thing. first, you have absorption: if you take an oral med, it gets absorbed in your digestive tract. second, distribution: once it gets to blood stream, it goes all over the body. third, metabolism: oral meds basically always go to the liver first, so understanding how liver metabolism affects something is really important. fourth, excretion: how does your body get rid of it (usually, filtered by kidneys). at every one of these stages, individual variation in people can impact how they react to meds. and that's not even getting into how meds interact with receptors, which adds more variation. what most people think of as resistance is often a function of how receptors are modulated, which can absolutely be impacted by how much you take of a med for how long. that said, there are quite a number of people with chronic pain whose pain is very well managed by a stable long term dose of opiates or gabapentin or what have you, so no, i wouldn't say that it's 100% true that taking medications always makes your body resistant to them. it depends on a bunch of things we don't fully understand!

and all of this is just biology! emotional states can HUGELY impact both pain experiences and pain treatments. something that can contribute to pain development and to chronic pain is stress, and we also know that poorly-managed pain post surgical procedures often contributes to development of chronic pain - this is why, post surgery, it is generally better for people to "stay ahead" of their pain by taking their pain meds on schedule: it is much easier to stay on top of pain than to play catch up.

and bringing this back around to addressing flare-ups and unexpected pains and their management in chronic pain: it's important to find what works for you, and sometimes that's finding the cause. i have chronic pain, and i have failed out of literally every available general pain med that exists, both over-the-counter and prescription, for one reason or another. since main root issue for me is significant joint laxity leading to joint pain and dislocations etc, physical therapy is really what addresses things well.

so what is the truth of managing pain? making sure people have good options for managing pain, whether that's therapy, physical therapy, medications, combinations of the above, etc. the treatment for someone's pain is as individual as the person themselves, there's no such thing as a treatment that works for everyone. my work is in developing different medications, my colleagues work in making better physical therapy or more accessible therapy or in policy to increase access to all of these (PT is horribly underutilized, but understandably so when health insurance doesn't cover it), and what unites all of us pain researchers is that we want to make things better for people.

#17 for ao3 wrapped?

Thank you for asking! 💗

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

Oh, that's more difficult to answer than I thought. I'd have to split it, I think. For the first not-quite half of the year the answer is probably Commander Cody, for the second half Tom "Iceman" Kazansky and also John "Soap" MacTavish.
