you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

#zee rambles #this isn't to guilt trip anyone #but im so so tired of people coming in and just refusing testing because they want to see grandma or whatever #and on top of that people are avoiding vaccinations and all that too??#we all lived through the pandemic - everyone saw how many people unfortunately passed away from it #now because of vaccinations and some amount of herd immunity we're finding milder cases in healthy people #but that doesn't mean its gone #that doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term repercussions even in healthy people and that doesn't mean people aren't still dying from it #honestly i just needed a lil rant #and if this helps at least one person??? im all for it #also i can't sleep so here we are spilling thoughts into the voidddd

Ego this happened and I need to tell another twst fan bc I'm so ahhhhhhh

my Nana (the biggest Disney fan I know) came over for Easter so i show her twst on a whim, bc it's my favorite thing yknow? I show her the characters and the battles, my cards, my guest room, all the good stuff. Then I decide to do a ten pull on mirror bc why not, I have 300 gems and maybe she'll give me luck 🙂

NOT DORM CARD MALLEUS FINALLY COMING HOME AFTER MONTHS OF HEARTBREAK 😭😭

AHHHH congratulations! ...also can your Nana come visit me too, because I have not gotten a SINGLE one of the dorm dias even with rerun pickups. 😭 does Malleus just demand grandma power or something.

#art #...i mean technically it's art i guess #for a given definition #twisted wonderland #i don't think this one needs spoiler tags but at this point i just instinctively go to add them #don't worry malleus being kidnapped by fake grandmas is not in fact a spoiler #but is declaring it not to be a spoiler in itself not its own spoiler?#uhhhhh wait hold on um #let's just say that malleus may or may not get kidnapped by fake grandmas at some point #i'll never tell

Found this old snippet and don't really remember of the context for it outside of being a joking exploration of how weird the Fenton/Phantom family tree would seem to outsiders (not even getting into how relationships might be classified differently between the human side & the ghost side)

Anyway gonna drop it here as a prompt lol

Mind the quick reference to dismemberment, there's no gore or detailed description and no one is actually hurt, it's more there for comedic effect, but still wanted to give the heads up on it 👍

Nomad motioned to the towering, vaguely vampire-looking buff dude with literal flaming hair what the fuck, “Dan, this is everyone. Everyone this is Dan. He’s my…” Nomad trailed off and blinked, a look of confused befuddlement on her face as she let the sentence hang for too long.

“Huh…” She said considering, looking up at vampire-dude, Dan apparently, with a confused furrow on her brow. “You know this is the first time I’ve ever had to try and explain our relationship to each other and I’m drawing a blank and what exactly to call you. Uncle? Dad? Brother? Like, I think you could technically be considered all three.”

What the fuck did that mean??? Kon snapped his attention over to meet Tim’s masked gaze, the look of wild confusion Kon was sure was on his own face mirrored there. Around the meeting room confused and worried looks were being shared by the rest of the League. Which like, yeah, what in the Habsburgs was happening here for all of those terms to be applicable?

“Well, you’re Danny’s Mirror, so if you consider him your dad then it stands to reason I’m also your father.” Dan said, hand coming up to his - literally flaming, how did that work? - goatee thoughtfully.

“Yeah but like, I call Danny dad just to piss Vlad off.” Nomad countered, toying with her severed arm with her still attached hand. Kon didn’t think he’d ever get over how casual she was about being literally disarmed and just…not caring. “And I definitely don’t see you as a dad. Uncle?”

The giant of a ghost shook his head with a frown, “Implies that Danny and I are brothers, which could work but gives our relationship kind of a weird vibe. I feel more like his father than anything.”

“Gramps, then?”

“No.”

Nomad laughed, “Fair, wouldn’t want to take the title of Grampa away from CW. Besides we’re both half Vlad, so I think brother works best here.” She frowned, looking thoughtful, “Maybe half brother?”

Dan considered, “Half-brother could work. Though it gives Vlad more credit than he deserves.”

“Oh come on, can you imagine the look on his face if we went in together on suing him for child support?” Nomad asked, fanged grin wicked. Dan’s face lit up at the idea, and Kon felt like they were rapidly heading towards the two ghosts running off to go and go torment whoever this Vlad guy was rather then them help deal with the current demonic problem at hand.

“Can you please explain what any of that means?” Kon asked, more a squeak than anything else. He was starting to get a headache.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dani phantom #danielle phantom #elle phantom #elle's hero name is Nomad in this one because why not lol #dan phantom #kon el kent #kon kent #connor kent #tim drake #justice league #Elle & Dan just having a very weird concerning conversation about how to define how they're related to each other #& accidentally invoking imagery of European royal families terrible marriage practices #If Bruce wasn't on the verge of trying to adopt the sassy ghost girl *before* all this he absolutely is now #Kon thought his family dynamics were fucking weird but now he's just grateful he doesn't need to use a chart to explain it #what do you *mean* you're older sister could also qualify as your grandma & your older brother is kinda your dad??#And who the FUCK is Vlad and why does it seam like he's somehow responsible for all this?#even the demon they pulled Dan in to help with has stopped what he was doing in vague horror and concern for what's going on here

so you know how I talked about a weakness of mine is that I tend to write tropes that have personally disappointed me from a stance of "well what is a way I would like this"

anyway. so. I read a really good omegaverse fic - a trope I tend to avoid unless I'm really desperate for content - which then led to me reading several more omegaverse fics that were bad to worse with a sprinkling of really quite good

so now I have an outline for an omegaverse avengers fic

you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

#to be clear i have nothing against omegaverse beyond that i tend to hate them #but personal taste doesn't mean anything to anyone beyond the person who has it #this is just so far out of my usual wheelhouse that im staring at myself head tilted like a dog #this is your grandma talking

“Nya and Jay both never say a word to the other ninja about Skybound” are you telling me Nya doesn’t TELL KAI THAT SHE DIED. ARE YOU TELLING ME NYA DOESN’T SEEK OUT HER BIG BROTHER AFTER A NIGHTMARE OR MENTAL BREAKDOWN OR IF HER CHEST IS A LITTLE TOO TIGHT THAT DAY. ARE YOU TELLING ME KAI CAN LOOK AT THE PERSON HE CARES ABOUT MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD AND NOT INSTANTLY KNOW SOMETHING IS DEEPLY, HORRIBLY WRONG??

THESE TWO RAISED EACH OTHER. NYA WOULD NOT KEEP THIS FROM HIM I AM PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF BELIEVING THAT

#‘alright grandma let’s get you to bed’ I’M RIGHT AND Y’ALL KNOW IT #look out Han’s Skybound posting again #I JUST HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ALL THE TIME #BBNB UPDATING ISNT HELPING IM KINDA IN AGONY ABOUT KAI RN #I’m losing my mind y’all KAI SHOULD KNOW. KAI SHOULD KNOW THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIS SISTER #sniffles they just mean so MUCH to me dude #kai #Nya #kai jiang #Kai smith #Nya Jiang #Nya smith #Skybound #ninjago #spinjitsu screams

Especially the kid whose elderly version I had an incredibly hard time designing #because it is THAT hard for me to envision him living past like 45 no joke

this completely reshaped my brain

#panel from hell #bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #halsin #halsin romance #you can tell his writers had a few bodice rippers handy when they made this scene #and as an Enthusiast of such things this is perfect for me #i mean everyone and their grandma at this point knows I'm going to romance astarion #but Beefy Bear Man is absolutely getting romanced hard by my druid tav #also can i just say it's really cathartic as a Halsin Liker from day 1 that not only did they listen *and* make him a companion #*and* a romance option #but they gave us THIS scene too??#i would've been happy to just see him again in the city but they went above and beyond #serving me a feast of ambrosia when i expected maybe crumbs #thank you larian <3

I will always be grateful for the way foolish treats the eggs. People call him a bad parent but man, he’s just something else.

I’ve made previous posts about pepito and his circumstances before but after yesterday’s stream I just can’t stop thinking about it.

Foolish is capable of treating two eggs equally when he is caring for more than one, never ignoring his own egg or the one accompanying them.

To me, pepito is a small egg that can easily be forgotten even though a lot of people like him (just like his father COUGH), but whenever he’s under foolishs care i feel like he’ll always have his own place where he doesn’t have to live up to any expectations, he can just be an egg.

He was super timid about telling his parents about the cookie tasks and yet he went to his grandma and asked for help, even telling him about how he felt. A lot of people overlook their bond, even though it’s been something so nice to watch. From foolish taking care of him during his own son’s disappearance, being there for his first day of school, killing a panda infront of him (and then pepito killing a panda after learning from him) being there for his birthday party, giving him a totem (A PART OF HIM??), buying him things without thinking, doing his tasks, and even getting a room in FOBO (which was going to be inside his own room before sunny made room for him)

Even seeing leo get along so well with him after not trusting him at first. Giving him her little dog hats, letting him sleep in the tower, SHARING HER DAD!!!

I hope foolish leo and pepito get to hang out more in the future without him having to be on the brink of death. The three of them mean so much to me.

#qsmp #qsmp pepito #qsmp foolish #qsmp leo #qsmp leonarda #they mean so much to me #grandma foolish u always be famous #one of the best girl dads out there btw

there’s really nothing i miss more than coming back home from school at 12pm and having my grandma turn the tv on for me and my brother because she knows our favorite show airs around that time (my mom wouldn’t let us watch it so when she’s at work our grandma always lets us see it🥲) and then she would bring us the most delicious food she so lovingly made just for us and sits down to ask about our day while she cuts us some fruit … the best memory of my childhood i have actual tears in my eyes

#i talk a lot about my grandma but she’s truly the person i adore the most in this whole world #i can’t even explain it you’ll have to look inside my heart to understand what i mean
