I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

How to Wash Your Hair Post Top Surgery

Okay so, after helping my best friend, I realized that there are a ton of folks who might greatly appreciate being able to get their hair actually clean during the no shower stage of healing. Conveniently, this could probably also work well for anyone who needs to keep a cast dry, or have another issue getting in the tub, with minimal adaptation.

Supplies:

Spray bottle

Shampoo

Rain poncho/big trash bag

3 big towels

Boar bristle brush/exfoliating glove

Chair

Washcloth/hand towel (optional)

Steps:

Set one big towel on the floor by a sink, placing chair on top before covering the chair’s back with a towel to protect from water

Either cut a head shaped hole in the bottom of your plastic bag and split at the sides until it can cover as much of the surgery site as you can, or just put the rain poncho on whoever can’t go to the pool right now.

Put the final big towel around the shoulders of this regal figure and tuck it in so they look like a kid wearing a blanket cloak, making sure that the surgery site is fully covered, then have them sit their happy ass down because now we get to the fun part.

Fill your spray bottle with warm water, making slightly hotter than you think would be ideal, and lightly spray the hand of the person sitting to check that it’s not gonna feel like ice water to them (I apologize, friend).

Add a little of your shampoo to the bottle, but Do. Not. Shake. I see you, about to treat this like a can of Pam. You need to act like you’re mixing a baby bottle and swirl. Disregard my warning at your own peril. You may finally get all the suds out of the bottle by the time the surgery scars have faded.

Spray. Spray slowly. Get the hair nice and wet, if not super sudsy. Use your brush or exfoliating glove to massage the scalp. Your goal is to get maximum clean with minimum wet at any one time. So long as you keep the dripping under control though, don’t be shy about spraying. Your brush/glove should be dry when you start, so it’ll absorb some of that moisture too to help control things.

When it looks like things are clean, or your friend says they feel like bread dough, it’s time to change. Take the corner of the cloak towel to pat the hair mostly dry. This will mean less rinsing of the hair, and less water overall. Rinse out your glove/brush and refill your spray bottle with warm water.

Start spritzing in sections to keep the amount of water under control. You want to dab it up immediately. Keep going until any water dripping from the hair is almost clear.

No one should be allowed to have Absolute Power. It’s time to disassemble your friend’s royal monarch costume and clean up.

Idk, you’re done right? Maybe go (gently) hug/high five the person you managed to help feel not gross? :/

"choices made in anger cannot be undone" well i have regrets and nothing to lose. so we'll just see about that.

May I present: Leda and the Swan Princess! It's based on this post about a swan princess who refuses to go quietly in obscurity when cursed. (If you liked this one you will probably also like my other comics which you can find on my pinned post).

Okay but the weirdest thing about the whole "Brotherhood is better you should skip 03" discourse that's become commonplace now, it sort of forgets the world Brotherhood came out in and why you should watch the original Fullmetal Alchemist. When Brotherhood came out, the original Fullmetal Alchemist was one of the most beloved and most watched animes of all time. Brotherhood assumes you the audience have already seen it because of course you have, everyone has seen it, so it skips important information and speeds the story up because it doesn't want to bore you with things you already know. Have you ever wondered "hey why does the first episode of Brotherhood kind of suck, and why am I being introduced to like 50 new characters, and why are they acting like I know what the hell an alchemist is?" It's because Brotherhood thinks you've seen 03.

The first 7 or so episodes of Brotherhood constitute dozens of chapters in the manga, and the first 25 or so episodes of the original Fullmetal Alchemist. The Nina Tucker episode in Brotherhood, in FMA 03 takes up nearly three episodes. Yoki gets a backstory in 03 and it's genuinely one of the best episodes and taken directly from the manga and Brotherhood glosses over it because: duh, you've already seen it. And so if you skip the original you miss out on dozens of really great character building episodes like Ed and Al meeting Hughes for the first time and getting to spend a whole episode helping him free a train from terrorists, or Ed and Roy having a duel that expands on the relationship they have, or episodes where the brothers just help out random people in towns before the major story gets going.

The original also paces itself quite a bit better than Brotherhood and is more in line with the mangas storytelling. In the manga we don't find out about The Gate until nearly two dozen chapters in, and the same goes for the original anime. Like, that's a twist reveal in those stories, and it's weird that the most watched series is the one where they tell you all about The Gate in the first two episodes because they assume you've already seen the original show.

What's more, people don't know that Hiromu Arakawa helped write for the anime while she was still in the middle of writing the manga, and as a result was inspired to write scenes in Brotherhood that the anime did first. That scene of Edward getting impaled by a falling beam? Directly inspired by a similar scene in the original anime. There's a lot of little instances of that and they're great when you can recognize parallels and things in Brotherhood that are direct references to the original anime, but people don't notice any of that anymore. Because the original anime is just an automatic skip these days, and it's a bummer because people don't realize what a giant it was back before Brotherhood was released. They treat it as *bad,* not realizing it was one of the most beloved anime of its time and the problems people take issue with have a lot more to do with personal taste than any kind of actual flaw in the writing. Brotherhood was never meant to dethrone it, and the original anime was always supposed to be part of the viewing experience which is why those first few episodes of Brotherhood are so fast paced. So like, please stop telling people Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 is a skip, or it's bad, or you don't need it because Brotherhood is better. Regardless if you think Brotherhood is better or not, the original wrote Brotherhood's check. It was huge, it was beloved, and Brotherhood is *banking* on the knowledge you've seen all of it and loved it. And trust me when I say there is so much to love about the original series. It's still my favorite branch of the FMA franchise, and it's worth your time, I promise you.

It’s been at least 2 hours, and I am on chapter 9.

Send help, this story is holding my brain hostage.

hi read time to orbit: unknown please

reasons to read it include: So Many different fictional cultures, plot twists that seem completely natural because we're finding things out along with the characters, some INCREDIBLE characterization (they're all so PEOPLE!), beautiful pacing, and incredibly well thought out logistics of everything "living on a spaceship set to colonize a planet 65 lightyears away from earth and everything's broken (and keeps breaking)"

content warnings (currently) include: mass death, continued referring to an event that involves the death of sleeping people as "a psychotic break" (i don't think the characters do that anymore tho), and many difficult discussions about the value of lives

Random opinion I want validation or criticism on: I don't think pink kryptonite turns Kryptonians gay. If one were to see Superman as bisexual like I do anyway, pink kryptonite practically just made Superman more socially forward. Yeah I know the writer's intention and back then were trying to push some gay stereotypes too like having a better sense of fashion and interior decorating, but those can be swept away with just assuming those were his opinions anyway he just isn't vocal about them. At worst I think one could say it made him hypersexual, at best maybe pink kryptonite is just a kryptonian amphetamine.

Look I'd accept any explanation that makes Pink Kryptonite anything other than the gleaming discomfort that it actually is. So if that's your pitch, go for it. I prefer to forget it happened.

Polygon does a very good job of breaking this down, but TL;DR Discord just snuck in a forced arbitration clause during the last ToS update.

Everyone in the USA has until 30 days after 04/15/24 (or account creation, whichever is later) to:

Email [email protected] stating that you’d like to opt out of the forced arbitration and reserve your right to sue/join a class action.

Make sure you include the date, and save a copy of the email yourself—Discord might “lose” theirs.

Edit: it’s not previewing the video correctly (webbed site), but that’s the Polygon video referenced.
