I Am Somehow Both Of Them

WAYFAIR IS SEX/CHILD TRAFFICKING!!

WE CANNOT BE SILENT ABOUT THIS!

IMAGINE HOW MANY OTHER COMPANIES ARE DOING THIS!!

ALSO, WHY WOULD WAYFAIR TAKE DOWN THE CABINETS FROM THEIR WEBSITE INSTEAD OF SHOWING EVIDENCE THAT IT IS NOT TRUE?!

THAT'S SUSPICIOUS AS HELL

I love Jordan this episode he's carrying out marpers legacy

INDRA

Season 4 ended with clarke making it to the ship. Madi’s parents brought her out of hiding when they heard children get to go into the bunker. Madi goes into space to keep her nightblood secret.

5 years pass, they come down and open up the bunker and have a happy reunion.

No one villifies Octavia for loving and honoring her people by giving them a warriors death that grounders canonically value rather than a painful and drawn out death by starvation, which the grounders would have viewed as weak and dishonorable.

Clarke is grateful to Octavia for being a great commander so that Madi can have a normal childhood.

Bellamy and Octavia have a proper siblings reunion and heal after talking over their mutual wronging of each other.

5a covers Elegius landing. the Diyoza prisoners are integrated into society and the McCreary prisoners are either executed or put into cryo. Miller and Jackson adopt a kid. Jackson and Clarke open a medical practice, Niylah assists.

5b covers Raven and Monty exploring the new tech and building improvements for shallow valley. Diyoza and Harper have Hope and Jordan. Shaw, Raven, and Monty discover planet Alpha.

6a thanks to Bellamy and Clarke’s hero complex our core kru join Gabriel’s resistance and overthrow the primes. those who want to stay can stay, others choose to move to earth. The primes choose earth to return to their roots and possibly regain their humanity? Josie is amazing as usual.

6b Gabriel and Raven bond over their shared Becca geek love and they explore the anomaly. Raven is a badass and dons her spacewalker bravery and jumps in, pulling Gabriel with her. Octavia, Harper, Diyoza, Monty, & Emori stay behind. Bellamy, Josie, Murphy, Shaw, Echo and Clarke go after them when Gabriel gets spit out sans Raven.

Season 7 is bardo centric and not a complete failure and shitshow.

Can I just?

Writing Traumatic Injuries References

So, pretty frequently writers screw up when they write about injuries. People are clonked over the head, pass out for hours, and wake up with just a headache… Eragon breaks his wrist and it’s just fine within days… Wounds heal with nary a scar, ever…

I’m aiming to fix that.

Here are over 100 links covering just about every facet of traumatic injuries (physical, psychological, long-term), focusing mainly on burns, concussions, fractures, and lacerations. Now you can beat up your characters properly!

General resources

WebMD

Mayo Clinic first aid

Mayo Clinic diseases

First Aid

PubMed: The source for biomedical literature

Diagrams: Veins (towards heart), arteries (away from heart) bones, nervous system, brain

Burns

General overview: Includes degrees

Burn severity: Including how to estimate body area affected

Burn treatment: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degrees

Smoke inhalation

Smoke inhalation treatment

Chemical burns

Hot tar burns

Sunburns

Incisions and Lacerations

Essentials of skin laceration repair (including stitching techniques)

When to stitch (Journal article—Doctors apparently usually go by experience on this)

More about when to stitch (Simple guide for moms)

Basic wound treatment

Incision vs. laceration: Most of the time (including in medical literature) they’re used synonymously, but eh.

Types of lacerations: Page has links to some particularly graphic images—beware!

How to stop bleeding: 1, 2, 3

Puncture wounds: Including a bit about what sort of wounds are most likely to become infected

More about puncture wounds

Wound assessment: A huge amount of information, including what the color of the flesh indicates, different kinds of things that ooze from a wound, and so much more.

Home treatment of gunshot wound, also basics More about gunshot wounds, including medical procedures

Tourniquet use: Controversy around it, latest research

Location pain chart: Originally intended for tattoo pain, but pretty accurate for cuts

General note: Deeper=more serious. Elevate wounded limb so that gravity draws blood towards heart. Scalp wounds also bleed a lot but tend to be superficial. If it’s dirty, risk infection. If it hits the digestive system and you don’t die immediately, infection’ll probably kill you. Don’t forget the possibility of tetanus! If a wound is positioned such that movement would cause the wound to gape open (i.e. horizontally across the knee) it’s harder to keep it closed and may take longer for it to heal.

Broken bones

Types of fractures

Setting a broken bone when no doctor is available

Healing time of common fractures

Broken wrists

Broken ankles/feet

Fractured vertebrae: Neck (1, 2), back

Types of casts

Splints

Fracture complications

Broken noses

Broken digits: Fingers and toes

General notes: If it’s a compound fracture (bone poking through) good luck fixing it on your own. If the bone is in multiple pieces, surgery is necessary to fix it—probably can’t reduce (“set”) it from the outside. Older people heal more slowly. It’s possible for bones to “heal” crooked and cause long-term problems and joint pain. Consider damage to nearby nerves, muscle, and blood vessels.

Concussions

General overview

Types of concussions 1, 2

Concussion complications

Mild Brain Injuries: The next step up from most severe type of concussion, Grade 3

Post-concussion syndrome

Second impact syndrome: When a second blow delivered before recovering from the initial concussion has catastrophic effects. Apparently rare.

Recovering from a concussion

Symptoms: Scroll about halfway down the page for the most severe symptoms

Whiplash

General notes: If you pass out, even for a few seconds, it’s serious. If you have multiple concussions over a lifetime, they will be progressively more serious. Symptoms can linger for a long time.

Character reaction:

Shock (general)

Physical shock: 1, 2

Fight-or-flight response: 1, 2

Long-term emotional trauma: 1 (Includes symptoms), 2

When frostbite sets in: A handy chart for how long your characters have outside at various temperatures and wind speeds before they get frostbitten

First aid myths: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Includes the ones about buttering burns and putting snow on frostbite.

Poisons: Why inducing vomiting is a bad idea

Poisonous plants

Dislocations: Symptoms 1, 2; treatment. General notes: Repeated dislocations of same joint may lead to permanent tissue damage and may cause or be symptomatic of weakened ligaments. Docs recommend against trying to reduce (put back) dislocated joint on your own, though information about how to do it is easily found online.

Muscular strains

Joint sprain

Resuscitation after near-drowning: 1, 2

Good morning to everyone except whoever decided Brett should die

When you go and harass an actor, a real person, over your stupid not even canon ship of a fictional TV show you should clearly overthink your life choices and delete all your social media and throw your phone out of the window cos you’re just being fuckn gross and an idiot.
