What?? Why on Earth would they bloodlet Machete when he's already anemic?
Anemia wasn't discovered until 1852, so his physicians have no idea. He's just moody and achy and visibly unwell and bloodletting happens to be the cure-for-all fix at the time.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it was one of the most used treatments in western medicine from ancient Greece to 19th century (and even earlier than that in Egypt, for example). There weren't many ailments that a little bit of breathing a vein wouldn't alleviate, supposedly. This whole concept is based on humoral theory which is a fascinating cornerstone of medical history and also completely unfounded nonsense, look it up if you haven't, it's interesting. People believed that blood didn't circulate through the body, it was created, used up and then the bad blood would stagnate in the extremities. Having too much blood would disturb your humoral balance and create illnesses so removing it was beneficial to your wellbeing. Even completely healthy people would sometimes go get themselves bled a bit just to be sure.
You kind of need blood for your body to function so this treatment was completely pointless at best and life threatening at worst. If you were sick to begin with it would only weaken you further (and expose you to potential infections, which in the absence of antibiotics, wasn't great). The only viable use for it would have to be rare blood disorders where your body produces too many red blood cells, like polycythemia vera, essentially the polar opposite of anemia.
It's so pretty and the material feels amazing! I ordered a C and realized when trying it on that i should've sized down to a size B but I'm not bothered by it because I look SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
PS ignore my messed up elbows, I've had some effed up skin problems my whole life ✌️😎
imagine scarian in a more modern setting where "that cactus ring" TM is a bit, and they have cactus gummies and maybe they're both in a theatre club creating a play based on 3rd life n all
I can just see them joking about it
Modern au scarian with the cactus ring being a bit is SO FUNNY there are so many ways this could go.... you've got the 3rd life is a play concept, you could have it be a spur of the moment joke with some cactus gummies, it could be a meme in a socmed au, maybe they just went on a hike and grian accidentally elbowed scar into a cactus and now nobody will let either of them live it down. The possibilities are endless im truly obsessed with this
Guess whose replay saves were actually working this whole time and had to do the Ketheric fight just to record them?
Recording was a bit choppy for a sec there and I cannot figure why. Even so, here's all the new Selûnite route Shadowheart kisses with a large body type.
The little back of her throat, gaspy noise she makes in the first kiss is going to annihilate me btw.
i cant figure out how to fix this drawing so here rough sketch idea. imagine getting fired and #canceled and you go home to punch your science equipment and get a chemical burn from your chemicals. i think you should pause the breakdown to deal with that im not sure youre supposed to let chemical burns just sit. but i dont know anything about chemical burns so what do i know 🤨
Do you know where I could find a clear image of Nicks tattoo and if kim has one too ?
HeliosAl has also extracted Nick’s 3D model, so you can see his textures (and tattoos) on their profile too!
They haven’t posted Kim’s model, but it seems characters in Far Cry 5 don’t have “secret” tattoos or scars hidden under their clothes, so I don’t think she has one.
i miss when we all interpreted shigaraki’s quirk as true decay rather than just reducing things to dust. i remember fics that had him rot things as he touched them and it was so much more visceral
